A Nation of Bondage

Many historians have attested to a phenomenon called the "cycle of nations." All nations go through a cycle of various levels of freedoms. Most nations start out in bondage, which they use to propel themselves into faith, then courage, then liberty, then abundance. After a time of abundance, they enter into stages of selfishness, then complacency, then apathy. Once a country becomes apathetic, it becomes dependent upon the government, which leads back to bondage.

We have become a nation of bondage-economic bondage, moral bondage, and social bondage. We have abandoned our faith and courage and liberty in exchange for selfishness, complacency, and apathy. We are becoming more and more dependent on our government and less dependent upon our God.

We see our Christian liberties being slowly stolen away from us. Some are quietly being hidden while others are openly attacked in the public eye. If events continue down their current path, soon we will have little freedom in sharing the Gospel or speaking biblical Truths. We will have to put away our crosses and Christian symbols. We will be silenced in prayer and action. Our nation is heading for a secularized nation of bondage-and our government is only too happy to step into this role and replace God as the authority in this land.

How can we break out of this cycle? How can we move past this bondage and back into faith? We as Christians need to become vigilant about keeping informed about what is really going on in Washington. We need to pray for discernment and become aware of the dangers against us. We must kneel fervently in prayer every day for the spiritual state of our country. Commit with me in praying for our nation every day between now and November 2.
