Gathered in One Accord

There they stand on foreign soil, gathered in one accord, to inquire of the Lord.

These are our military men and women, who are willing to risk their lives and keep us free, from the invasion of foreign tyranny.

This to us should be the truest form of love and liberty.

Let us not forget, that it is for our nation’s freedom that they have answered this call.

The example they set before us, is a forerunning of how it is that we must stand and contend, for the spiritual foundation of our great nation.

While our military men and women are away at war, let us lift them up and pray that God would keep them safe and out of harms way, beneath the pinions of His wings.

So what will it be for you and me? Will we stand together in one accord and inquire of the Lord?

Here within our nation, there is a call that has been released, to take a stand here in this place.

More and more each day, the laws of our nation are being challenged and changed.

From the sacred legal union between a man and a women, to those who want to erase the core foundation of this great nation, by removing God’s Word out of every public place.

Nor shall we forget the day when Roe vs. Wade became law in this land, wiping out this nations unborn human race. Thirty-one years have come and gone and the current death toll of our nations unborn is over 40 million precious little lives.

If we continue to slumber, we will soon be out numbered and our religious freedom will be denied, right before our very eyes.

It seems to be a form of tyranny of our religious freedoms.

Tyranny they say is an oppressive power, a rigorous condition imposed by others.

So what will it be for you and me? Will we stand together in love and in one accord to inquire of the Lord?

There is a banner that has been given, that displays God’s truths; it is the
“Ten Commandments.”

Jehovah ~ Nissi, is His name “the Lord is my banner.”

Banners have always had a place in the history of our God. They rally the troops in war, bestow honor and love, tell others who you represent, are used as a signal, direct warfare and praise, put the enemy to flight, herald an event and can minister and celebrate the Lord in our midst.

At our country’s inception, God’s Ten Commandments became the moral law of this nation. Our forefathers, at great personal risk, laid God’s Word at its foundation. Out of their reverence for our God, we have received the most incredible blessings in all the earth. For God’s blessings still stand for those who love Him and obey His commands. That He will lavish His love upon us to a thousand generations that would enjoy a long life, as well as our children.

Through the shedding of His blood, Christ fulfilled the ceremonial laws of old. Now through Christ‘s Resurrection power, that of His Spirit, we are able to fulfill and obey the moral law of this land. For where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

God is looking for a people who will no longer slumber. Will we stand for Him and His Word?

What will He find, in your heart and mine?

Posting God’s Word upon our doors and gates serves to remind all, that this nation is founded upon the Holy Word of God.

May we truly be Christ’s reflection to all that we meet, extending His love, mercy and grace throughout every city and street.

For then we shall see the spiritual atmosphere of this great nation change, in unprecedented ways.

So, while our men and women are away at war, let us stand together in love and in one accord, to inquire of the Lord.

For the war that we are fighting, is not against flesh and blood but it is in the spiritual dimension, which is beyond our comprehension.

The weapons of our warfare are not weapons of this world. They are weapons of divine power to demolish the strongholds of Satan at this hour.

Let us demolish every argument and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of our Lord.

Put on the full armor of our Lord. Submit to Gods divine providence and resist the enemy for he will flee. Come and draw close to God and He will draw close to thee. Wash you hands and purify your hearts. For these are some of the weapons of war, in the Army of Our Lord.

Lift high the banner that the Lord has given, that we will display it because of the truth. Proclaim His Word and love from shore to shore, for then we shall see the Glory of the Lord.

Out of our grateful hearts, for all that we have received, may we honor God with our love and unity.

“For if we His people, who are called by His name, would humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, He said that He would hear us from heaven and would forgive our sins and heal our land." 2Ch 7:14
