People all over the world are rediscovering many of the realities of the long chain of events that precipitated the unanimous declaration of some of the bravest honorable men who ever lived.
When those 56 very somber leaders of the American colonists gathered together in Philadelphia to sign the document they had crafted, the extreme hardship of revolution that they faced could only have been sustained because of the deep conviction and confidence they had in their Creator whom they often referred to as “Providence.”
Over the course of their relatively young lives, their experience of dependency on their Creator reflected the profound knowledge that they had of the Bible and the principles of the God who is “at work in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” They intimately relied on the Sovereign of the Universe who “works all things according to the counsel of His own will (Eph 1:11),” and “works all things together for good to those who love God and …are called according to His purpose (Ro 8:28).”
As we review the preamble to that declaration, perhaps we can refresh our own need to make a renewed declaration of commitment to God’s purposes in the unfolding story of God’s development of this generation’s determination – determination to be a people – indeed, a family and community – whose God is the Lord.
The Epidemic of tragic symptoms happening everywhere is now proven to link to mass poisoning by injection.
You don’t have to be a Christian to have natural human empathy and the desire to protect or care for friends and loved ones who are in danger because of something of which they were unaware was threatening their well-being. Our challenge today is how to help people break free of the indoctrination and propaganda that they’ve been wholly committed to for most of their lives by institutions and highly educated people that they trusted.
In recent years, we’ve all learned a lot about massive deception, widespread fraud and vast public propaganda regarding health and disease prevention. One of the many hard-working, medical-freedom-loving, health care professionals who has been sharing his research openly for everyone to benefit is Dr Bryan Ardis. You can access his discussion of some of his background and remarkable discoveries on a past episode of Reclaiming Your Legacy, linked in today’s transcript.
When God’s people recognize that the path of the society around them is collapsing, the prophets of the Bible give us an unmistakably clear assignment, if we’re willing to accept it… Be a generation called to rebuild the ancient paths.
The confusion and uncertainty assaulting humanity worldwide today is being identified by many as an all-out strategy of destructive warfare from the Enemy of mankind himself. So, what is the ‘assignment’ God has for His people in the middle of such alarming chaos?
The 58th chapter of the prophet Isaiah declares clearly, Almighty God’s displeasure with the superficial, self-centered, and hypocritically empty religious rituals of His people. Instead, He desires a deeper and personally more authentic form of worship, defined by distinctive actions. And biblical worship – let’s not miss it – is a sacrificially devoted spiritual life-style, not just a weekly religious exercise.
When you examine Isaiah 58 .. let God’s Spirit show you where your life can better express what God identifies as “the fast” that He chooses. That kind of a Messiah-following discipleship is characterized by several features. All of them require some effort and humbly asking God for personal direction. Remember one of the central themes of the Bible: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct (or make straight) your paths” (Proverbs 3:6). Your what? Your PATHS.
Justice and righteousness is high on His list: Can we do anything to break the chains of injustice? Are there oppressed people whom we can help to free? Can we remove blame shifting and speaking wickedness? (read Isaiah 58:6-9).
Caring for the vulnerable is naturally a priority with God: Can we find ways to share our food with the hungry? Can we invite a poor homeless one into our home? What about clothing those who are truly naked and needy? (read Isaiah 58:7). If we do, He promises “your light will break out like the dawn” (vs 8)… “you will call and the LORD will answer” (vs 9).
Humility and sincerity are traits deserving our daily introspection: We just cannot allow ourselves to use devotional sacrifices like fasting as an excuse to exploit workers, or quarrel with others, or engage in self-righteousness (read Isaiah 58:3-5).
True selfless devotion is assured God’s special turn arounds in your life: Fasting accompanied by “giving yourself” to those in need and “satisfying the desire of the afflicted” will result eventually in “your light rising out of darkness” and “your gloom becoming like midday.” (read Isaiah 58:10).
Everyone has a worldview, but relatively few people see their world through the eyes of the Bible, even among those who call themselves Christian.
The Great Commission
Christian people across the world are well familiar with what we call “the Great Commission.” Jesus, after his resurrection, just before he ascended into heaven, spoke these words to his disciples:
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matt 28:18-20
Many pastors who avoid debatable or political/social topics, claim they are ‘just called to preach the gospel.’ Others avoid contemporary arguments in society by sticking to their preaching and teaching schedule. These seem to be noble practices to most Christians, but do you think it’s only fair that those who sit down to dine at the table of where they get their spiritual food each week have a responsibility to humbly challenge their spiritual teachers to address controversial topics that are relevant to the issues we all struggle with that are going on in our world today?
the miraculous quality of childlike meekness – By Dennis Petersen
Yahveh’s prophet, Isaiah, declared “For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being declares the LORD … But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.” Isaiah 66:2
When you think about taking a proactive change of direction to reclaim your legacy, what do you think is the most important thing that you’ve personally learned in your lifetime so far? While you make the focus of your attention on having a positive influence on your own children and grandchildren – your next generation – what truth or idea have you discovered that is such a powerful influence on your own life that you’d have to include it among the very top dozen or so important things that you have ever learned in your life?
It’s now a fact, recognized by more Americans than ever in this generation – the battle to preserve our society of liberty is a spiritual war against demonic principalities in high places. And it’s more evidentnow than ever before in our lifetime. The question is – will God’s people who are called by His name, not only humble themselves and pray, turning away from their wicked ways, but will they take action to be the preserving salt of influence on our society or will they continue to be ‘trampled’ by society’s mountains of secularized influence?
The Power of Keeping People in Darkness (ignorant)
Can there be any question that the gross darkness of ignorance, prevailing in today’s society, is the result of anything less than deliberate re-education? Historic disciples of Marx, Lenin and Mao know very well that society-wide ignorance depends on two things:
the perversion of true history, and
the censoring of moraltruth found in God’s Word.
Paul insisted that Christ-followers “prove .. or test .. all things.” Why? Faith in God, in the Bible or all truth, for that matter, comes by hearing the Word of God! Without a clear and spoken declaration of relevant, Christ-glorifying words (Greek for spoken word = Rhema) – words of God’s timeless truth – people are lost in confusion, deception, and pop culture entertainment. It’s all empty of any substance that would challenge us to seek God.
Americans face coming elections that are crucial to our freedom and well-being. Many argue they are as important as any election in our nation’s history. Yet, the mountainous influence of public education, main stream media, big tech and big pharma has effectively fashioned voters into the UN-united States of America. It’s a total charade. For decades, it’s been a completely corrupt series of schemes to confuse and divide us. Many citizens have been rendered completely unable to see that we’ve become disconnected from our anchors of morality, historic roots and God’s truth.
Only 4% of Americans now hold to a Biblical worldview (down from 6% in 2023 and 12% in 1994)
Worse yet, only 2% of American millennials actually hold to the basics of a Bible view of their world. That’s pretty disturbing news, since over 80% still claim to believe in at least some biblical principles. (according to reports of Arizona Christian University’s Cultural Research Center). (Most Americans, over eight in ten, may believe some Biblical principles but often think and live in ways that conflict with the Bible.)
Barna’s definition of a biblical worldview included affirmation of seven basic doctrines:
First, the existence of absolute morals communicated through Scripture.
Second, Jesus Christ lived a sinless life.
Third, God is the all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of the universe and He stills rules it today.
Fourth, salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned.
Fifth, Satan is real.
Sixth, Christians have a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people.
And seventh, the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.
I wish he had included one more – that Christ made it clear that all humans are accountable for their words and actions and will be judged by God in the future.
The 4% of Americans who have a Biblical worldview represents a drop-off from 9% in 2009, according to Barna.
This is a dismal low for citizens of the USA who say they embrace at least some form of Biblical Christianity. Do you think Genuine Christians need to honestly recognize that our culture has declined to an unacceptably shallow approach to whole truth? Should genuine Christians make some kind of effort to improve that condition? Almost nobody denies that many Christians today have a lot of misconceptions about Scripture. They establish beliefs about truth based on misquoted verses without full context. That’s because they’ve been taught by preachers who miss things, like the balance of God’s righteous requirements with the amazing mercy of His grace.
Look at some Examples of misguided beliefs
Acts 17:28 says: “in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Many focus this on “me” – with a personal fuzzy feeling about God’s care for His children. But what happens when we read the whole context? Begin with verse 23 when Paul preached to the pagan intellectuals at Athens, Greece.
“What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation (ethnos) of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for ‘In him we live and move and have our being’ as even some of your own poets have said, For, we are indeed his offspring.”
Paul speaking to Athenian pagan intellectuals in Acts 17:23b-28
Does that have a much deeper and profound meaning now?
Another is God’s personal midnight declaration to King Solomon after his dedication of the newly constructed Temple in Jerusalem in 2 Chronicles 7.
“if my people humble themselves and pray and seek my face… then will I hear from heaven and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
No one doubts that repentance from our humble free will is a noble preface to effective prayer for our country… but read the whole context starting at verse 13 and then on to verse 19-22. God Himself said:
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence (plague) among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. …
But God had much more to say to Solomon…
“And as for you, (Solomon), if you will walk before me as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my rules, then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to rule Israel.’
But then comes the stern warning…
“But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will pluck you up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?’ Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore, he has brought all this disaster on them.’”
God speaking to King Solomon 2 Chronicles 7:19-22
Now, honestly, how often have you heard that sobering kind of exhortation in the context of “God’s promise to “heal our land” if we pray?
One of the most often misquoted Scriptures is Jesus’ declaration that:
“..the truth shall make you free…” in John 8:32.
We’ve got to read the whole statement Jesus said to his disciples, starting at verse 31.
So, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Our society is ruled by a Deranged Strategy of Exalted Demonic Powers in High Places
You don’t have to be much connected with politics to see that today’s Democrat Party is, in all honest reckoning, flat out insane – or as President Trump put it, ‘totally, stone-cold crazy.’
“Democrats demonize and ‘defund’ the police that protects them and then complain when crime skyrockets. They encourage violent communist-anarchist mobs to burn down our cities. They insist they can change the earth’s weather by adopting a bizarre totalitarian-socialist program that would destroy our economy and annihilate individual rights. They believe convicted terrorists should be allowed to vote from prison. They believe a beautiful, full-term human baby about to be born, can be slaughtered at will. They disagree with God, insisting that there are dozens of different genders – and that men can get pregnant. That is insane.”
What’s happening in the Party of Derangement
World Net Daily editor, David Kupelian, before the 2020 election, wrote in his essay about the Trojan horse of our time:
“Today’s Democrat Party has become possessed by the dark revolutionary spirit of Marxism, which in reality is based on hatred and rebellion against God, against His commandments, against His morality, against the very idea of objective truth. Marxists want their own truth, their own laws, their own morality, their own biology, their own science, their own heaven … on earth. They want nothing to do with the Judeo-Christian values that have long served as the moral foundation of America – which they openly hate. And yet, these are the very people who believe they’re much more intelligent and moral than you, and who, in just a few weeks, fully intend to take over America forever.”
Forever?
Rush Limbaugh, just before the 2020 election, put it starkly: “If the Democrats win, that’s the end of democracy. It’s the end of the two-party system. We’re going to have a one-party government that is going to devote itself to eliminating all opposition. That’s what’s at stake. If they win, I think the Republican Party essentially ceases to exist.”
Isn’t it interesting how, after four years of chaos and only one year of decisive patriotic leadership that it’s the Democrat party that is falling apart while the Republicans are trying to rediscover themselves?
What are all of us seeing more clearly now? The wicked controlling powers of society at all levels of politics, information distribution, and corporate business… mesmerizedmost of the population for generations. Common sense was almost lost. Americans were conditioned to not think for themselves. But with all the exposure of evil in the years since the gross manipulation of public thought during the Covid Plandemic, things have greatly changed. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay for truth-tellers to kick back.
A Clear Prayer for God to Rise Up Against the Wicked!
If we American Christians don’t persistently petition our Lord for His mercy, guidance, and protection for our nation, and do everything in our strength to use our God-given abilities and influence to urge fellow citizens to actively vote, the influential ‘gates of hell’ will corruptly steal the coming election. If we don’t get deeply serious about being the beacons of light to our communities – ongoing from here on – our feeble testimony will be squelched by tyrants who hate God and hate you.
“Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.” Psalm 94:16-17
How desperately do all of us need God’s help?
Tyranny requires four things. Truth must be silenced. Real history must be erased and rewritten. Public speech has to be restricted. Even individual thought must be controlled.
In this time of constant turmoil, false flags, wars, civil unrest, and now internal bio-terrorism and manufactured pandemics, a major agenda of the demonically influenced state’s ruling class is to silence all dissent, and mandate conformity. And remember, the reason many of our fellow Americans live in denial of that reality, is because of the natural human inclination toward “normalcy bias.” They have a hard time believing their state of what they thought was “normal” can never end. Our brains are wired to resist change. But there is a globalist ruling class, whether we want to believe it or not. But, what many of us miss is that JesusIS King over all earthly kings. He is the one who sets up kings and brings kings down. And Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth. What’s more, is His genuine delegation of that spiritual authority to His disciples. And it’s not to use thoughtlessly, but to exercise on behalf of the direction of the Holy Spirit who lives in us and will never leave us or forsake us.
Considering tyranny’s plan for total control, it’s imperative to stifle criticism and keep the power to control the widely public mainstream narrative, while aggressively eliminating all resistance and questioning. Unless things continue improving, nonconformity will not be allowed if global governance and a global reset are to be successful.
As 2020 unraveled America saw censorship in ways never seen in our history
… and with all the advanced technology we have, this despicable plot to silence thinkers and hide the truth affected all forms of speech.
It’s gotten more challenging to find truthful information, as those like Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and others are still deleting content and access to content. But, thankfully, more independent researchers are voicing their content on new platforms and are gaining public recognition.
Our world is overwhelmed by propaganda! While the state-approved narrative of the Elites is presented on most of mainstream’s easily accessible, highly advertised channels, you have to really dig if you want honest, second opinion sources of information on practically any topic.
A Change in our listening habits must be Top Priority
You Must reset your inputs. Turn off network media channels and learn to regularly – daily if possible – listen to trustworthyvoices reporting what God is sovereignly doing. Hear how He uses His younger servants to speak into our culture. Access conservative voices like Megyn Kelly, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson. Find Christ-honoring voices you can resonate with. You’ll have to establish Internet connections to Free-speech platforms, particularly Rumble and Bitchute, as well as others. Use the free Roku app system to connect with many God-fearing broadcasts we’ve appreciated like “And We Know,” “Flashpoint,” “Man in America,” and Mike Lindell’s Frank Speech channel. One of our favorite Medical freedom interview weekly broadcasts is the “The Highwire” with Del Bigtree, and there are many others like Dr Lee Merritt, The Medical Rebel, and Dr Bryan Ardis with The Dr Ardis Show.
Find trustworthy conservative daily news channels like Real America’s Voice, Redacted, Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point, and Brannon Howse’s Worldview Tube. Hear insightful Christian leaders like Mario Murillo’s Fire Power, Lance Wallnau, and The Mel K Show . Look up their posts and channels on YouTube and spend serious time catching up with truth-filled insights that will inspire you, equip you, and inform you with God’s perspective on what’s going on in your world and how to navigate it.
Our dangerous situation is real because doctrines of demons are out to destroy mankind
It’s especially ominous, considering the fact that through vaccination or other high-tech methods like variable frequencies, much of the population could soon become subject to transhuman experimentation where injectable nanoparticles and chips could be used to alter human behavior.
Corrupted Power is always troubled by any that dare to think and dare to question
This is not a new phenomenon, as tyrants throughout human history have censored writing and speech in order to protect their power structure.
In ancient times and not so ancient times, books were forcibly burned to keep the populace from having access to any material that was not acceptable by the throne or the current political authority.
In cases of resistance to ‘high’ authority, many were also killed by the state, and in many cases these ‘cleansings’ were targeted to the educated class, because they had the capability to think critically and express their ideas publicly. If you’re not informed about the historic period of the Reformation, start watching the historic dramas on RedeemTV.com. The period of European history beginning in the 1300s with John Huss and John Wycliffe going into the 1500s with Martin Luther and William Tyndale, is one of the most heroic periods of God’s providential guidance of human history. It makes you realize more powerfully the fact of the hand of God in human society’s experience as recorded in Acts 17 when Paul spoke about God determining the times of nations and the bounds of their habitation (Acts 17:26).
Those that held power by force of arms would never allow criticism and dissent, because that could lead to hostility and insurrection by the people.
During the totally orchestrated Covid 19 shut-down of society worldwide… known now as the fake plandemic… the details of tyranny changed some, but much was as it has always been through history.
Money, power, and control have always been the key strategies of the ruling class who would dominate mankind. But the methods to keep that power and control have changed. Instead of the sword and guillotine, propaganda and fear have become the primary tools used to fool the people into compliance. In order for propaganda to work, elimination of dissent is imperative.
Censorship plays a huge role in any effort to gain support of the masses, because without the possibility to reach the bulk of the people, the truth tellers become marginalized, and are shunned and ridiculed as troublemakers and conspiracy theorists.
The Broadest Mind Control Effort in Planet Earth’s History
The biggest censorship push in history began in force in 2020. It was the biggest propaganda push in history, and it’s still underway.
The false flag event called the coronavirus pandemic was not about one king seeking control over his subjects, but it was about the few globalist elitists attempting to take over the entire planet. There’s no question that they are demonically inspired. Bible believers who read their Bible understand this reality better than those who are unfamiliar with the tactics of the Enemy of Humanity, called Satan in the Bible.
This is a global effort that is run by the few top claimed elites, with their tentacles of power reaching almost every country on earth through control of the banks, corporations, foundations, and the entire political class system.
Many have fought and died in order to protect free speech, but all speech continues to be under attack by the forces of evil.
If the globalists were to have their way, free speech would be lost forever.
This is the world of the Internet and computerized system saturation. Censorship today takes on a new sophisticated look through so called “fact checkers” and compliance to “community standards” but it’s meant to accomplish the same goals as in the past.
Blacklisting users, blocking content, and algorithmic manipulation allow for the state to control information. With the control of information, it’s understandable that the general public would then be easier to manipulate and keep in check.
The acceptance of tracking and tracing technology, continued isolation, vaccines capable of altering the DNA structure of individuals, chips and dyes mimicking the mark of the beast, and a continued state of fear are all intended to lead to an end of what our society has long considered the state of normalcy.
The result sought by the world’s Wealthiest Elites is a new world order, a “new normal,” totally controlled by ruling ‘experts’ claiming the ability to sustain you, protect you, meet all your needs, and eliminate your worries.
This system is called technocracy. It’s dependent on a class-segregated society, fully controlled by an upper class.
Does this sound familiar? It should. It’s what all tyrants want. But in this day and age, it will look much different.
All of this relies on a willing public
And in order to achieve that total compliance on a scale globally large, the human spirit must be broken… Love, family, emotion, responsibility, open communication, mass gatherings, and debate must all be squelched.
Once the pathetic masses accept this ruse, and acquiesce to the mandates being planned, they will be transformed into a machine-like state through technological manipulation claiming to make life easier, safer, and more convenient.
A totally digitized system is necessary in order to retain constant control. All this sounds outlandish… like a dystopian science fiction novel. But it’s exactly what’s happening right in front of all of us.
Will Christ’s Faithful Followers Do What Past Faithful Heroes Did?
A completely new world is planned to come upon us for a limited time. It can only happen by eliminating truth, eliminating our historical roots, and hiding all that is real and honest. What’s left is a fantasy, but this short-lived fantasy will be deadly if it’s not successfully resisted. Only those who, like the Pilgrims of 17th century Plymouth, are willing to form local bonds of true Ekklesia fellowship community and educate their children according to God’s Biblical truth will avoid the fate of Lot’s wife. She was consumed by her own longing for the shiny objects of this world rather than follow God’s escape route into the unknown. Abram followed God to a destination unknown that was predetermined by God alone. And, through Jesus Christ, we’ve been given Abraham’s faith to trust God for our destination, no matter what happens in the world around us.
Seek the truth, seek honesty, ask questions, and believe nothing unless it can be personally verified. Do not allow the takeover of your lives by the monsters claiming to be your saviors.
In these controversial times, we all must prayerfullythink! And think extra hard before we act. I’ll say a bit more on that in today’s bonus segment at ReclaimYourLegacy dot com.
Bonus Segment
We now know the plans of the enemies of freedom – the enemies of God. It’s absolutely foolish for Christians (the 50% who don’t vote in elections because doing their civic, constitutional duty is somehow beneath their dignity) to think they can continue their worldly guided behavior and not be accountable to God for it. They’re assigned by Jesus to be preservative ‘salt’ to their culture. That takes deliberate effort. They’re modern-day equivalents to Ezekiel’s watchman on the wall. They’ll be judged for their inaction when they could have prevented the destruction of their peers.
They have failed to think…
What would their family’s life be like IF BLM, Inc or Hezbollah invaded their neighborhoods?
What will they do when tyrannical bureaucrats marginalize honest citizens who conscientiously choose to opt out of arguably dangerous public health mandates?
In controversial times, we must prayerfully think! And think extra hard before we act.
You and I can’t force someone to adopt an opinion against their will. “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still!” Don’t even try to do it. Refuse to argue with fools who embrace death over life, license over responsibility, and promised safety over daring to risk our temporal comforts.
Only God’s Spirit Can Open Our Spiritual Eyes that have been blinded by Deception
For years we’ve been seeing publicly the open expression of ‘doctrines of demons’ – hellish teachings popularly accepted as correct for the masses. But you are a chosen generation; a distinct people for God’s own possession; to shine forth His redeeming and purifying light in the midst of darkness. So focus on truth and share it with those willing to receive it. (1 Pe 2:9 and Mark 6:11)
Just ask yourself; what is the chief aim of following Jesus? Abundant life and knowing God intimately.
Ask; what is the chief aim of the devil? To steal, kill and destroy.
What is the genius of the US constitution? God is our King. We have freedom of thought to be citizens – we the people – free to pursue a life of God’s order under a Biblically inspired nation of written laws – God’s 10 commandments. Righteous truths are eternally self-evident, teaching people to learn self-restraint. The unrighteous require external controls that can’t be enforced without draconian, anti-God restraints.
The plandemic masks and personal physical distancing rules by human governors don’t recognize “natural laws of God’s creation.” Those natural laws are so obvious, that to ignore them, becomes absurdly self-destructive. Not only do such foolish restraints endanger humans physically amid a sea of constantly changing opinions, they dehumanize personal relationships, leading to all manner of social and mental disorders. If you doubt the fallacies of such conclusions, take the time to watch censored research reporters like those featured on TheHighWire.com, NaturalNews.com, and HealthImpactNews.com. Be informed by honest dissenters from the mainstream.
God is giving all of us an opportunity to influence the outcome of our nation because He commanded His disciples to actually disciple the nations of the world. And that’s possible because He proclaimed that all authority had been given to Him when Jesus resurrected. Do you honestly believe that? Then why not make every effort to participate in the process of determining the leadership of your own nation under God? In upcoming elections, vote for freedom of conscience and the liberty to proclaim the truth of God. You’re voting for a platform of principles, not for a personality. This is a rare opportunity in our generation. We have a crossroads before us where every vote counts. Who, in their right mind, wants to throw their vote away by either not voting or voting for a platform determined to enslave all humanity by a globalist agenda?
Only by constant intercession for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven… for His Kingdom to invade our earthly community… for His enablement to guide us to speak the truth to enlighten the darkness… these must be our priorities in each day God gives us breath.
Psalm 95 promises us with consolation:
“He who teaches man knowledge—the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath. Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law, to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.” Psalm 95:10b-15

God’s People are Rediscovering their Divine Legacy in such a time as this by Dennis Petersen
You’re not alone if you feel horrified by the perverse and corrupt wickedness being exposed openly in our society’s mountains of influence.
Truly, the manufactured political crisis of a highly questionable health emergency is tragic. But God has been using it to expose unimaginable corruption and ignorance. Now, He’s using all of it to generate awakening and repentance.
In the post-Civil War generations, Christian pastors en masse, began failing their Biblical assignment. What’s that? Ephesians 4:12-14 tells us. It’s for…
“…the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ…” And that is expected to result that we would all grow up to maturity… no longer children… being tossed around by the trickery of deceitful men.
Doesn’t it make sense that should mean that the saints should all be actively prepared to disciple their own young people to be the influencers for righteousness in THIS nation?
But think of what happened. The generation that survived the Civil War created the industrial revolution, ushering humanity into the Space Age. It took only a century of growing, but eventually unimagined national prosperity reduced a spoiled and entitled generation to face the possible disaster of becoming another third world socialist country.
How does the God of the Universe want His People to think about Protecting our Civil Society?
What is the morally righteous mindset for mature citizens to have about national border security and public treatment of aliens?
All of us today are aware and sensitive to the reality that Scripture is often misquoted, misapplied, or weaponized, in public discourse, to push political agendas. Millions of conscientious believers are trying to navigate the tension between compassion and the rule of law, between loving the stranger and protecting the vulnerable.
Everyone knows that we live in a climate of political correctness. With the left-leaning attitude of the main stream media, Christians often face moral dilemmas. The issue of immigration is a big concern.
Like the separatist Pilgrims who fled religious persecution in their homelands to courageously face an untamed wilderness 400 years ago right now, we are facing a challenge of giant proportions. Can we dare to proclaim, “Thank you Almighty God for your abundant mercy and your grace to lead us on?”
When I asked the Lord – in view of our historic atmosphere of national and global anxiety and fear – how then shall your people pray and think and act, He led me immediately and serendipitously to a historic event in the leadership of His people. I believe He wants to talk with us about that today.
Let’s set the stage a bit
There is no way that anyone can convince you that we are not living in what is probably the most universal time of chaos, uncertainty, deception and tragically painful human suffering since God’s interruption at the tower of Babel, over 4000 years ago. Even in our affluent North American experience of relative freedom, which is another world to billions of the human family, we see all around us devastating struggle between good and evil. We are at war for the future of our children. Many Christians are saying in their feelings of desperation, “certainly, the coming of the Lord must be near.” The conflict of the ages between the Devil’s kingdom of darkness and God’s Kingdom of light have been drawn into sharper contrast than perhaps any time in our lives.
Despite the dismal failure of our generation’s Christian leaders to teach us to disciple our own nation and amplify the knowledge and authority of God’s Holy Word in our current society, God is working behind the scenes. It appears that He is using the multi-faceted crisis whirling around us to inspire His true disciples to seek the face of God more fervently than ever. This is good.
Have you ever caught yourself tolerating an annoying irritation for many moons sometimes before finally stopping to take the time to fix the problem? The classic example is tolerating a small pebble in your shoe while you limp along for many steps before finally removing it.
The Holy Spirit is particularly good at reinforcing to us God’s eternal principles that are relevant to our immediate situations when we take the time to prioritize personal intimacy alone with God and His word. As you look into His word for guidance, correction, and instruction in how to lead a life of living in right standing with your Creator/Savior, meditate on the plain meaning of the words you read and hear yourself say out loud.
“I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”
Romans 16:19-20
Before we look at some of the specifics about the things that are causing the epidemic of fear and confusion in our world, why not pray to God right now – a prayer that you know is divinely perfect? And while asking God for the supplications of your prayer and declaring the confessions of your prayer, let Him adjust your thinking and your feelings to bring them into harmony with the way that you can absolutely know is God’s perfect will.
Psalm 31:14-24
14 “O Lord, You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness.
17 Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You;
Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (Or the nether world).
18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt.
19 How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of men!
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a shelter (Or, pavilion) from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD, For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city.
22 As for me, I said in my alarm, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless, You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to You.
Then our prayer ends with an admonition – an invitation – that gives us a model of what to declare to others around us as we walk our path with the Lord.
23 O love the LORD, all you His godly ones! The LORD preserves the faithful and fully recompenses the proud doer.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in (Or, wait for) the LORD.
God is just… and He expects us to pray according to the patterns of His word. His word gives us a perfect pattern of how to pray. And yes, you need to pray that God would cut off, from before your eyes, those who would be alarmed and those hiding from His justice.
How many times have we heard our mothers and others who love us, like Jesus Himself, warn us to not listen to those subtle voices that try to tempt us to sin morally or even sin by giving in to fear, rather than staying on target with God’s voice of peace and wisdom? And fear is a sin. We need to face that. Let’s stay on target with God’s voice. It’s always a voice of peace and wisdom.
Now, let’s be honest. We can’t stop our ears from occasionally hearing the loud noises of evil in our world. But we CAN choose whether or not we will continue to voluntarily turn on those channels of destruction. Why not ask God for His help to courageously stand firm against the emotionally persuasive wiles of the Devil. If we are truly owned by Christ as His bond-servants, we’re supposed to not let Satan take advantage of us, nor be unaware of his devices (Or schemes) 2 Corinthians 2:11. So, just decide now to stop listening to evil reports from those who have proven to be enemies of God.
Yes, you will be a “peculiar people.” You’ll be thought by the carnal ones as being strange. So what? Get over it. What is being proclaimed in your real home? Your eternal home? Do you suppose that is why Jesus said “I only do and speak what I hear my father say?” Is He helping us take this walk of serving Him more seriously than before? If we’re willing, do you just suppose He is able to keep you steady on that path?
I asked the Lord: What’s true and critically important for us to know about our chaotic times that make us feel so uncertain and troubled? I listed a few of them, and you might have a similar list.
The instability of human governments
The plague that surrounds us
The choices we each have for our health and safety
The plans you expect us to participate in for the world you have redeemed
The priorities for the community of your chosen followers with whom you have assigned us to dwell
The confidence with which we must pray in praying according to your will
Here is the prayer that the Lord opened serendipitously for me as I began to write down these comments. It’s from the man whom God’s word declares was given greater wisdom than any natural man who has ever lived, Solomon. And he uttered this prayer at the dawn of Israel’s golden age… at the dedication of the place where God chose to make His earthly home in the very heart of His world… the temple in Jerusalem. It had taken 7 years to construct that temple… and this is what King Solomon prayed…
Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication
12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the entire community of Israel, and he lifted his hands in prayer.
13 Now Solomon had made a bronze platform 7½ feet long, 7½ feet wide, and 4½ feet high and had placed it at the center of the Temple’s outer courtyard. He stood on the platform, and then he knelt in front of the entire community of Israel and lifted his hands toward heaven.
14 He prayed, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven and earth. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion.
15 You have kept your promise to your servant David, my father. You made that promise with your own mouth, and with your own hands you have fulfilled it today.
16 “And now, O LORD, God of Israel, carry out the additional promise you made to your servant David, my father. For you said to him, ‘If your descendants guard their behavior and faithfully follow my Law as you have done, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.’
17 Now, O LORD, God of Israel, fulfill this promise to your servant David.
18 “But will God really live on earth among people? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!
Think about that. God, will you really live on earth among people? Of course Solomon couldn’t see it, but we realize that God, through Jesus, is actually living through His Holy Spirit IN us. Solomon went on in his prayer.
19 Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you.
Do you think that God is hearing your prayer? Really, even Solomon was asking God, beseeching Him, to hear his prayer.
20 May you watch over this Temple day and night, this place where you have said you would put your name. May you always hear the prayers I make toward this place.
21 May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.
Now we understand that the place that he was focusing on was the temple. Now, it’s the place where God is right here in our in our presence. He’s among us. Listen to what Solomon prayed and described some things, very much like what we see going on in the world in which we live. See if it doesn’t resonate in your own heart as an adequate and appropriate prayer for us in some ways.
22 “If someone wrongs another person and is required to take an oath of innocence in front of your altar at this Temple,
23 then hear from heaven and judge between your servants—the accuser and the accused. Pay back the guilty as they deserve. Acquit the innocent because of their innocence.
24 “If your people Israel are defeated by their enemies because they have sinned against you, and if they turn back and acknowledge your name and pray to you here in this Temple,
25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and return them to this land you gave to them and to their ancestors.
Doesn’t it seem that that would be an appropriate prayer? Of course, taking into consideration that we live in a different environment today, but certainly we can expect that God would be merciful if we will repent and ask Him to return us to the land of our ancestors. In other words, the land that our ancestors have spent these last centuries building and developing, even though they’ve gone astray many times? Listen to what the prayer goes on to say.
26 “If the skies are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and if they pray toward this Temple and acknowledge your name and turn from their sins because you have punished them,
27 then hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them to follow the right path, and send rain on your land that you have given to your people as their special possession.
Now again, can we justly and in faith, ask God to do similarly for us today, as He was, through Solomon’s prayer, was imploring God to do for the nation of Israel. As God’s own people, we are grafted into the nation of Israel and we can certainly appropriate God’s grace and mercy, can we not?
28 “If there is a famine in the land or a plague or crop disease or attacks of locusts or caterpillars, or if your people’s enemies are in the land besieging their towns—whatever disaster or disease there is—
29 and if your people Israel pray about their troubles or sorrow, raising their hands toward this Temple, 30 then hear from heaven where you live, and forgive. Give your people what their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart.
31 Then they will fear you and walk in your ways as long as they live in the land you gave to our ancestors.
Now, stop right there. When you look at that prayer and pray it from your own fervency, doesn’t it make complete sense that God in his biblical honest mercy and consistency… doesn’t it stand to reason that he will answer our prayer. And when you see millions of people across our land, praying … fervently calling on God for his mercy. Yes, we don’t deserve it. Yes, we’ve gone astray as a culture. But certainly, there are more people in our nation than the 10 that Abraham asked God if He would spare Sodom because of those 10 righteous. Listen to what Solomon continued to pray…
32 “In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear of you. They will come from distant lands when they hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. And when they pray toward this Temple,
33 then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you. In this way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you, just as your own people Israel do.They, too, will know that this Temple I have built honors your name.
Can we pray that God would use our nation, once again, to be a beacon of light to the world? Why not? Can God give us the faith to do that?
34 “If your people go out where you send them to fight their enemies, and if they pray to you by turning toward this city you have chosen and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name,
35 then hear their prayers from heaven and uphold their cause.
36 “If they sin against you—and who has never sinned? — you might become angry with them and let their enemies conquer them and take them captive to a foreign land far away or near.
37 But in that land of exile, they might turn to you in repentance and pray, ‘We have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.’
38 If they turn to you with their whole heartand soul in the land of their captivity and pray toward the land you gave to their ancestors—toward this city you have chosen, and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name—
39 then hear their prayers and their petitions from heaven where you live, and uphold their cause. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.
Can we not pray that? That God would have that same mercy and forgiveness for His people, even now?
40 “O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to all the prayers made to you in this place.
41 “And now arise, O LORD God, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. May your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation; may your loyal servants rejoice in your goodness.
I look at that closing part of Solomon’s prayer, and I can’t help but see that God is saying to us – we are a kingdom of priests, you know – may your priests be clothed with salvation, and may they rejoice in your goodness. May we make that a constant confession and dedication of our lips, to rejoice in God’s goodness… and at this time of thanksgiving, how can we not be thankful to God? And say openly to God, expressing to anyone even those on the street who may not know God, ‘god is so good.’ At this season of the 400th anniversary of the providential orchestration of our nation’s millions of families. We must remind ourselves that God is rich in mercy.
42 O LORD God, do not reject the king you have anointed. Remember your unfailing love for your servant David.”
2 Chronicles 6:12-42
“I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”
At this season when our attention is drawn to the 400-year American tradition of giving thanks for God’s providential orchestration of our nation’s millions of families, we must remind ourselves that God is rich in mercy
1 Peter 2:10 “for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.”
We are at a historic moment in our republic and many people are about to understand increasingly that this present battle between honesty and treachery is a nationwide assault on the integrity of our system. The thoroughly corrupted corporate media maggots are doing all they can to ignore the crisis in our election system, but the crisis is speaking very loudly to citizens.
The more important reality is the increasingly obvious nature of the conflict between good and evil. Our country has been gripped by apathic disinvolvement that has produced our current surreal dystopian crisis, the source (or cause) of which they simply don’t understand. As conservative news reporter, Lou Dobbs, asserted so well, “We have a fierce demand in the leftist establishment for conformity and silence. If that is not resisted, we lose the republic.”
Thanksgiving today, gives us an opportunity to thank God for what is happening now. By God’s mercy, He is giving us all a wakeup call, without which we would continue to sleep.
When people on the left sneer at us, it tells you some things. They are less than polite. They think they are superior to us. The first test for any American is, “do you believe every citizen of America has equal rights and is deserving of equal respect?” The answer is absolutely, because that concept is enshrined in the constitution. And that constitution is God-sent. It’s that straight forward and why we must fight this fight with every ounce of energy and courage we can muster. It’s a fight we cannot afford to lose. As we know, as sinners, we don’t deserve to win. But that isn’t the reason we win.
We have been a nation of nations for others – that’s what has made the United States of America great.
We must first look to ourselves. We’ve lost almost 70 million babies to abortion since Roe v Wade. We are a nation who talks about the family but we don’t always support the family – whether R or D. We must be a nation who asks, do I mean what I’m saying and will I stand up for what I mean. And this is the time to do so.
Remember that Joshua’s conquering army 3500 years ago was commissioned by God to destroy the exceedingly wicked occupants of God’s promised land to Abraham. God would accomplish the victory, but the heirs of the promised land had to valiantly fight for every inch of it with their wholehearted personal commitment.
Witnessing is work. Disciple making is even tougher. But in order for a free people to have a just society to do the work of discipling the nation?… Now, that’s risky business. And it’s downright warfare – spiritually, emotionally, mentally and even physically. We must throw off the deceptions of our misguided traditions and alliances with ungodly institutions that embrace secular humanism – the number one idolatry in our nation that has displaced wholehearted commitment to our One True God.
“I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”
Romans 16:19-20
The Holy Spirit is breaking through fears and doubts as we meditate on His Word and truly take it to heart. But we need to take action. Do our part. Parents need to be the primary influence in their children’s training and discovery of what is true. Listening to the corrupt media’s evil reports and constant assault on divine truth and morality has NO PLACE in the life of ANY follower of Christ. There are many good news sources if you care to be informed and encouraged. Start with people like Jay Seculow of the ACLJ, and Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA.

Bonus Segment
This episode of Reclaiming Your Legacy was first broadcast for Thanksgiving week in November of 2020. I thought it timely to share again now as we continue a time of historic uncertainty, when assessing things with a natural mind. I hope you joined me in mentally praying through the Bible prayers of Psalm 31 and 2 Chronicles 6. Like many of the prayers we find in our Bibles, they are taking on more profound applications in today’s times than perhaps we’ve ever imagined before.
I want to add an extra bonus for you today that I believe you’ll find useful in times to come.
