We live in an age of unbelief. The foundations of American life are eroding. America is entering an uncharted, revolutionary time. We are no longer the America of our founders or even the America that existed twenty years ago. We are in trouble, and a cataclysm of ominous events may soon overwhelm us. We need a national spiritual revival.
Two seminal revival movements were such game-changing events in American history that historians were compelled to call them Great Awakenings. The First Great Awakening in the mid-1700s created the moral climate for the Declaration of Independence and the founding of a new country,

time for renewal across the board. our 250th 1776 -2026 is around the corner and a perfect time to cap off a mass movement to return to our founding principles. this has to include the election of the right president in 2024 to make it happen. let's put shoulders to the wheel.

Unfortunately for us, Great Awakenings are an act of the Holy Spirit, not by design of man--regardless of how badly we know we need one. Azuza Street can no longer handle the crowd.

#1, the way things are going, I doubt that we will be allowed to celebrate our 250th birthday. Doing so will be deemed another insurrection. And I fear that, if we elect the right president next year, the left will tear the country to pieces.

The Global Communists, the backward head-loppers and atheists agree on one thing: Christianity must be destroyed...and then the broken US. The Jews shrug their shoulders and say: oy vehl! we could've told you this Jesus thing wouldn't work out.

We don't live in a world of unbelief.
The commie trannies etc. just want us to believe it because of the huge hollowness inside them.
Don't fall for it.

The Founders KNEW we would some day be in times like these.
The vast majority of people still hold to the bedrock principles but live in fear and cowardice lacking the leadership to make the first move and are purposefully kept unorganized into a force for revival and restoration.
It is a mistake to believe that political 'messiahs' will come rescue U.S. but just in case, they have decided to persecute and crucify President Trump for questioning the results of the 2020 election to keep those who would band together by intimidation and unequal application of governmental power and financial and judicial pressure to RUIN anyone else who tries.
Demonrat socialist Marxist can complain an criticize about so-called 'stolen elections' breaking establish rules of elections, but not republicans.
If one is a believer in eschatology, we are most definitely seeing the signs of the End Times and things Jesus said in Matthew Chapter 24, but things have to get a lot worse and rapidly the evil and corruption is getting a foothold in our daily lives.
We may have one last chance to do something electorally but with the wickedness and lack of action required being almost non-existant there is no one person who can prevent us from drowning..... Its time to get our house in order because its only going to get worse.... "Chose this day whom you will serve"

IMO mass immigration without assimilation is dooming this country.
Too many immigrants come for the opportunity to make $$ and not to embrace, protect and extend the founding American values

When I first heard "Axis of Evil," I never thought that America would become a junior member, but it did. For most of my life, with some lapses, we were the good guys. No more.

FTA: “We take back the nation by praying, repenting to the Lord, and acknowledging that the Republic will fail without our hearts returning to Him. We must call upon Divine Providence and plead for mercy.
We know that God responds to those who cry out to Him. Only through Him can national revival come, and the blessing it brings becomes possible. He watches over us today just as He did in generations past. Keep the faith, be encouraged, and keep praying. May another Great Awakening arise in this dark and uncertain time.”
Amen!
Lamentations 3:
22
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
24
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

One other thing in addition to #10:
Read Hebrews chapter 11, & recognize that these heroes of faith didn’t just pray and sit back and expect everything to be accomplished and provided by God with no effort on their part. They had an active, obedient faith.
The same has been required throughout history. It is still required today.

I do believe we have strayed from our religious heritage in this country. With more diversity comes different beliefs that do not have their foundation in Christ. While they may not be believers, they are respectful and believe in a higher power. However, the people who are atheists and have found a home in the democrat party pose the greatest threat. They are very vulnerable to the concept of human secularism and are willing to make themselves the final authority in all matters believing that God has no moral authority over them. This is why our culture has gone off the rails and it is the reason that justice is manipulated because it benefits them and not because it is right or just.
We are battling a spiritual war today, and it is a battle between good and evil. This is not a sophisticated or complex war that is being played out in our lives. It is as old as man and with the same protagonists warring for the souls of humanity. The end is certain, but we do not know just where we are on God’s timeline. Therefore, we must choose whom we will serve and just as Joshua told us so many thousands of years ago, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Our historical founding is the ideal inspiration to fix this mess that we have allowed our country to become. Back in the mid 1700s, the people in this new world were of mixed philosophies just like we are today. There were many who still wanted to remain under the yoke of Britain while the brave half risked it all for the attainment of precious freedom. When George Washington led the Continental Army to victory with overwhelming odds against him from the British and their Hessian mercenaries, he did so under the penalty of death for him and the few hundred soldiers that he was able to recruit. They won because right and justice was on their side but it was not easy. Do not be afraid of death in combat. The life that these evil communist misfits and thugs have planned for us is far worse than death.

As a nation, we are divided. Pray to God to bring us together as a nation. It is the only thing we can do. What needs to happen has to initiated by God, not humanity. Humanity is divided, and it will take an act of God to bring us together. Pray, people.
