I STAND MORE AMAZED EVERY DAY!

It is more and more obvious that we have allowed the attitude of , “let George do it” develop into our everyday answer, or solution to respond to all demands of commitment or time restraints for our individual participation to any phase of business, government, and even ministry. For many years I thought the condition was common only among our fellow church membership.

Of course, it is prevalent across all levels of society and economic station. It seems that nobody wants to be found responsible nor do most want to be delegated to accept a role as being responsible for others, or even to accept responsibility for our own actions.

And yes, I'm amazed that most of our citizens in this nation, (the United States) are not even aware that we, (We the People) are presently under judgment for the “'Sins' of our Nation”. And what does that mean to all of us in America? It simply means that GOD, has issued a call of repentance for the righteous and the unrighteous, the godly and the ungodly alike. If the righteous had been the lights that they were called to be, the nation would never have fallen, as 'It did'!

The same applies, whether it is Israel or America. Very few of our citizens are even aware that on April 30, 1789 that General George Washington was inaugurated as the very first President of these United States of America. This did not occur in our present nations capital, Washington, D.C. In fact, at that time, Washington D. C. had not been, yet built! Our nations capital, was New York City in 1789.

It will be 213 years, this April 30th, and America, which had declared it's independence in 1776, had finally managed to set things in order under the Constitution, which had taken several years to accomplish. And America, as we know it_ with a president, a Senate, and a House of Representatives finally came into existence in 1789. More specifically, it came into existence on April 30, 1789, the day when, for the first time, all these were in place_ America's first day as a fully constituted nation. That was the day that our nation's government was completed as set forth in the Constitution, the very day that America's first president was inaugurated.

On that morning of the day April 30, 1789 our illustrious President was to be invested with his office, there had been a proclamation sent forth, calling for the bells to ring at nine o'clock, when the people may go up to the house of God in a solemn manner to commit this new government, with its important train of consequences, to the holy protection and blessing of the Most High GOD.

An early hour is prudently fixed for this peculiar act of devotion and is designed for prayer ! They gathered at Federal Hall, that morning outside in front, and there George Washington took the Oath, as the First President of the United States of America, with the streets and rooftops overflowing with people. Washington places his hand on the Bible and swears the oath. The crowd breaks out in cheers, the cannons begin booming, and bells rang out across the city. Then he withdraws into Federal Hall where he delivers the first presidential address before Congress.  After that, he leads the nations first government on foot in a procession to the little stone sanctuary to commit the nation's future in prayer to GOD.

Yes, that church is St. Pauls Chapel. It stands now much as it did on April 30, 1789, when America's first government entered through its doors. It was here that the nation's first president, Senate, and House of Representatives bowed together in prayer to consecrate the new nation's future into the hands of GOD. This is the place where the new nation was committed to the ALMIGHTY GOD; this is America's ground of consecration!

“The nation's ground of consecration will become the ground of its judgment.” And it truly is that. As all need to be aware, that St. Paul's Chapel is the only structure at the designated 'Ground Zero', that remains,  of all the surrounding structures, that were destroyed when the towers were brought down on 9/11! The adjacent property is St. Paul's Chapel, and their adjoining property was sold for the towers to be constructed.

Here we are almost 213 years later, April 30, 1789 rapidly approaching. And we have suffered the calamities of 9/11; and then, seven years later in September 2008 we have experienced the stock market crash. How much more judgment do we have to experience, to decide to repent, asking GOD for mercy upon us, for turning away from GOD, and praying according to 2 Chronicles 7:14. With our hope that GOD will accept our pleas and restore our nation.

  • WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE 56 MEN
    WHO SIGNED THE DECLARATION 0F INDEPENDENCE?

    Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and then tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons who were serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
    Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

    They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
    What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they all still signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
    British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

    Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
    was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and ultimately poverty was his reward.

    Vandals or British soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

    At the battle of Yorktown , Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and much later Nelson died bankrupt.

    Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
    were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in the forests and caves,returning home to find his wife dead and his children had vanished.
    Of course, we all consider every one of those original signer's as Patriot's, as we all rightfully should. They knew, as we all should know, that the price of Freedom was going to be costly! It is obvious, that we are each one obligated to be thankful to them. We must continually take time to observe the tremendous and terrible price that was paid, so that we today may enjoy our freedom. We must continue to all pray for the future blessings of our Nation, as our forefather's were diligent to pray.

    Remembering, as our 'Forefathers' did, and as all of our citizens, especially our veterans know first-hand that our Freedom is not free, but continues to be costly to all of us. And today; as then, the price has been paid dearly in blood, sweat, and tears.
    We can also be so thankful, that it has finally become obvious that our prayer's are beginning to be answered, as we have seen that justice has been accomplished, when we all witnessed last year on this very day, April 30, 2012, that Osama Bin Laden was eliminated. None were lost in this operation, and we certainly need to recognize as it becomes more and more evident, that the sins of our Nation, are the very thing that left us so vulnerable, due to the loss of GOD's protection; and consequently, on September 11th 2000, because judgment was allowed to come upon us. That was followed, exactly seven years later, in 2008, and to the day with the downfall of our financial system. NOW, it is time for all of us to remember that, “Our GOD is no respecter of any person, or persons”! And that GOD certainly is not impressed by our lack of obedience, nor is HE impressed with our arrogance and our self-willed determination to continue to ignore HIM,and think that we are in control of our destiny. As we have all begun to realize, that each of us are equally responsible for allowing the denial of GOD, and HIS Principal's in the prevailing lawlessness and destruction of civil liberties. We would all do well to also remember that GOD is not interested in any our INTELLECT!
