The Lord Jesus Himself told us that He would send the Holy Spirit to "teach us all things," John 14:26. We must not keep the light He reveals to us "under a bushel," Matthew 5:15, but declare it boldly—we must let it shine forth into the darkness around us.
There is a direct correlation between how effectively we as believers in Christ proclaim the Word of Truth and demand our freedom to “shout it from the housetops,” Matthew 10:27 and what we will tolerate from our government. Many are unwilling or unable to connect the dots between what happens in the churches of America with what is unfolding in the highways and byways and enclaves of power in this country.
Although the scandals in D.C. are disheartening, I pray the fact of them causes our people, who have enjoyed freedom for so long that they cannot fathom being without it, even when it is being systematically stolen away from them, to open their ears and their eyes to what is going on in this government and declare to those who would be our dictators that they are our servants. It is their sworn duty to represent us, not to reign over us. America is meant to be "government of the people, by the people, for the people," and we the people must declare it again! The people must be willing to fight for it!
May true believers proclaim II Chronicles 7:14 (If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sin, and heal their land.”) over the United States until the Holy Spirit moves upon our people and revival sweeps the whole country—with men great and humble laying their lives at the feet of Jesus again.
