Epoch Times ^ | 9/22/19 | Joshua Philipp

Posted on 09/23/2019 11:10:48 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A moral and spiritual awakening is taking place in the United States, and it is being helped along by a group of ministers in Capitol Ministries who hold regular, bipartisan Bible studies with members of the U.S. government.

According to Brian Hansen, international director with Capitol Ministries, among the several weekly Bible studies in Washington is one attended by 11 out of 16 members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet.

Ligonier Ministries and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association are two separate organizations that have called upon believers to SPECIFICALLY pray for an awakening.

Awakening in Hollywood is needed too. Pray for that. There is so much influence there and so many blinded eyes.

A spiritual awakening in this country and turning back to God and Jesus will solve more problems than any person or government can ever solve. This is very good news.

I think this is Wishful Thinking. It’s desperately needed though.

Do a wiki search on Spiritual Awakenings. The US has had plenty. but the last one was 60 years ago.

We desperately need another one.

These political elites who continue to categorize and criticize "baskets" of citizens who oppose their coercive ideology might consider the words of the man known as "the father of the Constitution" under which they serve:
Excerpt:
Excerpt "Because we hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth, “that Religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator and the Manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.”

"The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right. It is unalienable; because the opinions of men, depending only on the evidence contemplated by their own minds, cannot follow the dictates of other men: It is unalienable also; because what is here a right towards men, is a duty towards the Creator. It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage, and such only, as he believes to be acceptable to him. This duty is precedent both in order of time and degree of obligation, to the claims of Civil Society. Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe: And if a member of Civil Society, who enters into any subordinate Association, must always do it with a reservation of his duty to the general authority; much more must every man who becomes a member of any particular Civil Society, do it with a saving of his allegiance to the Universal Sovereign. We maintain therefore that in matters of Religion, no man’s right is abridged by the institution of Civil Society, and that Religion is wholly exempt from its cognizance." - James Madison

Is there anywhere a clearer statement of the underlying principle of the U. S. Constitution's provisions and protections for "the People's" rights and liberties?

The very foundation of the Founders' Declaration of Independence from a "government-over-people" rule to one of a people's recognition of "overruling Providence" and "people-over-government" liberty was summarized in Jefferson's, "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."

In our generation, do we not see that "hand of force" unmasked at the same time as Liberals/Progressives will not recognize Madison's "Creator," "the Governor of the Universe," and "Universal Sovereign," or Jefferson's "the God who gave us life," but their ilk utilize that "hand of force" to deny public discourse to include those descriptions in its "politically-correct" discourse or teaching of the youth of America?

If the “awakening” involves ecumenicalism, count me out. It’s false.

God and Jesus will solve more problems than any person or government can ever solve.

We do need to invite God back into our schools, our government, our communities, our culture. One nation, under God.

Yep, things have definitely gone downhill since expelling God from public life in 1962.
