“You, my brothers and sisters, have been known as to be free. However don’t use your freedom to indulge the flesh; fairly, serve each other humbly in love” – Galatians 5:13

Through the years, the controversy about whether or not or not America was established for spiritual freedom has elevated. As historic details are being revised or erased, increasingly more people and teams are difficult whether or not or not Christians had something to do with the establishing of our nation.

One ministry devoted to preserving America’s founding beliefs intact is D. James Kennedy Ministries. Of their DVD, “Illiberal: The Conflict on Spiritual Liberty,” they stand agency on the reality that “America solely exists as we all know it due to religious Christians who got here right here for spiritual freedom.”

Many Individuals have by no means heard the reality of how God led Christians who longed to serve Him overtly, depart every part behind and danger their lives to set sail for a New World. In The Pilgrim Chronicles, historian Rod Gragg explains how, round 1606 in England, the Pilgrims started as a bunch of Christian separatists in search of to worship Jesus within the purity of the gospel, based mostly on their understanding of the Geneva Bible.

However at the moment, conferences exterior the Church of England have been unlawful, bringing harsh persecution to the Pilgrims.

Listening to of the Jamestown settlement led the Pilgrims to borrow funds and request permission from King James to make the Mayflower voyage. Granted the proper to journey throughout the Atlantic Ocean, gave them the chance to sail to the New World, the place they might discover a everlasting dwelling to worship Jesus in peace.

America’s basis laid in biblical reality by the Pilgrims led our Founding Fathers to base our Declaration of Independence on godly ideas. These truths have given us the proper to worship God freely and with out reserve. As historical past data, prayer and fasting performed a serious position in serving to America to ascertain its freedom. The primary Individuals practiced James 4:10 on a nationwide stage, “Humble yourselves earlier than the Lord, and He’ll carry you up.”

Sadly these days, many Individuals not consider in our nation’s godly starting and heritage. However with prayer, we will see our nation return to God and hold our spiritual freedoms intact. Although it looks like our spiritual freedoms are shortly slipping away in America, we will ask God to observe over and shield our spiritual freedoms, realizing that with God, all issues are doable (Mark 10:27).

Let’s pray:

Expensive Father,
We come now to humble ourselves earlier than You, asking You to maneuver upon our nation and lead Individuals to carry quick to our godly heritage, a legacy of non secular freedom to overtly worship and serve You in our land. As 2 Chronicles 7:14 assures us, “If My folks, who’re known as by My title, will humble themselves and pray and search My face and switch from their depraved methods, then I’ll hear from heaven, and I’ll forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Forgive us, Father, for the methods our nation has drifted and turned away from You. Remind Individuals how Christians have been led by You to sail and settle this land for Your glory. Restore America’s godly basis and heritage. Let our leaders return to Your Phrase and Fact in writing legal guidelines, handing down judicial selections, and ruling over the folks. 

Assist Individuals to grasp that true freedom is a present from You. Like John 8:36 assures us, “So if the Son units you free, you can be free certainly.” Let our nation look to You as our hope and Salvation, and put all our belief in You.
In Jesus’ title, Amen
