If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3

What are the foundations of our nation that have been destroyed?

In The 5000 Year Leap, Cleon Skousen writes that most Americans in the early years of our Republic truly regarded the Constitution as a miracle, declaring that the formation and adoption of our new system of federal government represented a political achievement unprecedented in human history. The Founders believed the Constitution was destined to bless all mankind, and that it was incumbent on their successors to preserve and defend our national charter:

"If we and our posterity...live always in the fear of God and shall respect His Commandments...we may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of our country.... But if we...neglect religious instruction and authority; violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." (Daniel Webster, Address to the New York Historical Society, 1852)

Skousen details the 28 great ideas utilized by the Founders in the formulation of our Republic. While some were derived from the Romans and others from the Anglo-Saxons, the greatest and most important foundations are Biblical. There are two foundations of supreme importance.

First, the Triune Creator God is uncreated, eternally existing, unchanging Reality. All else is His created reality:

"… the foundation of all reality is the existence of the Creator, who is the designer of all things in nature and the promulgator of all the laws which govern nature. " (A Miracle that Changed the World: The 5000 Year Leap, Principles of Freedom, p. 101)

Second, the unique Biblical view of mankind is absolutely vital, for it's precisely from this – the most radical view of man ever known in human history – that our personhood, liberties and rights derive.

In this view, man is an animal only in the sense that his body is of the natural realm. Spiritually, he spiritually transcends the natural realm because he is an embodied soul/spirit, and it is this part of him, his being, that is made in the spiritual image of his transcendent Creator (Gen. 26-27, John 1). Each man and woman is a person endowed with innate dignity because created by the Creator God of Gen. 1 identified by the Apostle John as Jesus Christ, Second Person of the Trinity, the Son of God (John 1:1).

Man thinks, reasons, and loves because his personal Tri-Personal Creator thinks, reasons, and loves. Unique to man is free will. He can choose to lie or tell the truth; to give into bad impulses or not give into them; to seek truth, beauty and goodness, or conversely, to seek lies, ugliness, and evil. Divinely endowed, mankind – unlike all other creatures – is capable of self-government so long as his ability to reason is morally informed at all times.

There are only two created sexes, male and female, and there is only one human race of many different skin colors. As all men are the creatures of the living Creator, they comprise a spiritual brotherhood obviously meant to be free.

All of these truths were known by the Founders to be immutable, that is, good everywhere, in all times and not subject to change. All together, these immutable truths were vigorously affirmed throughout the writings of the Founders and encapsulated by them like this:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." – Declaration of Independence

Abba Father, we confess that as a people we destroyed the foundations of our nation in our failure to live in the fear of the Lord and in respect of Your Commandments. From the end of WW II up to now, we have” violated the rules of eternal justice, trifled with the injunctions of morality, recklessly destroyed the constitution which held us together.” We confess Father that the church mainly stood by while unbelieving Christian intellectuals and seminarians abominated Your Revelation by replacing the Genesis account with anti-Christ Darwinism:

"Darwinism came at the desired time; Darwin's theory that man is the descendant of a lower animal destroyed the entire foundation of Christian dogma." (Anton Pannekoek, "Marxism and Darwinism,”)

The anti-Christ evolutionary view of man is an artificial origin account from hell that reduces all humans to weeds, fish, bugs, and apes. Ideologically, this view is subhumanism, which denies the souls of human beings, meaning that for human beings, reality is non-self.

Yet despite our grave sins, in Your Mercy and Grace You sent light into the darkness to warn us of what would befall our nation if we did not repent and turn back to You O Lord. In every generation you sent watchmen such as Skousen who tried, mostly in vain, to warn Americans of the insidious schemes and plots of the Godless.

In his book, The Naked Communist, Your servant detailed how Godless Globalists and America’s Ruling Class directed and funded the communists diabolical plan to destroy our nation from within. They did so with a ‘long walk’ through our religious, political, and culture sustaining institutions to seize control and slowly pervert them. In Chapter 13 of his book Skousen lists 45 goals of communism in America. Number 17 reads: “Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of the teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.”

Though some Americans heeded Your watchman’s warnings, most did not. Nor did they heed warnings issued by subsequent watchmen. Thus while we slept our children were taught to hate America, to hate God, to hate the church, to hate the Christian foundations of our national identity, to hate their parents, hate authority, and hate the Founding generation who built this country on the principles of the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and the Federalist Papers.

Now violent storms of revolutionary forces from hell are upon us. After decades of indoctrination the chaos, lawlessness, and raging Godless mobs led by BLM and Antifa on our streets demonizing President Trump and the men of good will who support him as well as attacking police, assaulting private citizens and business owners, vandalizing property--both federal and private alike, tearing down statues, setting fire to churches, setting up “autonomous zones”, defacing synagogues, and screaming hate are America's own children.

Because we did not heed the warnings you in Your Mercy sent, O Lord, what we also see today within the church is unbelief with regard to the first chapters of Genesis, the supernatural heaven, miracles, and hell. Within the church accepting LGBTQ+ marriage, intersectionality, Critical Race Theory, and racial reconciliation due to ‘systemic white racism,’ we see unbelief in the inerrancy of Your Word, the two created sexes and one created human race. Unbelief is the problem:

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.”Hebrews 3:12

Heavenly Father, we are a Godless self- idolizing people who have forgotten our own souls. In accepting Darwinism, the Godless have dehumanized themselves and in their idolatry they invent bizarre new identities every day.

By the actions of Godless Globalists, the Ruling Class, and Godless Americans in general, they heap contempt upon Your creational norms and boundaries O Lord. These are signs of how deeply they have fallen into disorder and madness for they have ‘changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.” And this is why God has given them up to “vile affections…” (Romans 1: 25-27)

Heavenly Father, we know that the Godless and unbelievers within the church must repent and mend their foolish ways and in this regard your faithful children must be about your work. First, we must be diligent in confession, repentance, and prayer. Second, if we are to confront unbelief within church and society we need Christians equipped and informed to engage unbelief. Please O Lord, in Your Mercy and Grace, we ask that you raise up Christians bold and steadfast in faith, courageous in conviction and equipped to engage unbelief as You have commanded:

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

In the Most Wonderful and Blessed Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray. Amen

HOLY FATHER, we cry out to You; please hear our voices.
We pray for a return to strengthen our foundation in an
effort to return to the nation our forefathers envisioned.
Have we damaged that rock so badly it will not hold?
Please, FATHER, awaken all citizens to view what they have
allowed to seep into their lives.

We rejoice in Your Name, praising You, my Lord.
In Christ.
Amen.

Please O Lord, in Your Mercy and Grace, we ask that you raise up Christians bold and steadfast in faith, courageous in conviction and equipped to engage unbelief as You have commanded:

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Amen.

Be merciful and gracious to our President, Donald John Trump, O God, be merciful and gracious to him, for his soul takes refuge and finds shelter and confidence in You; yes, in the shadow of Your wings will he take refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed.

We will cry to God Most High, Who performs on his behalf and rewards him [Who brings to pass His purposes for him and surely completes them]! You will send from heaven and save him from the slanders and reproaches of him who would trample him down or swallow him up, and You will put him to shame. God will send forth His mercy and loving-kindness and His truth and faithfulness. His life is among lions; he must lie among those who are aflame—the sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords. They set a net for his steps; his very life was bowed down. They dug a pit in his way; into the midst of it they themselves will fall.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let Your glory be over all the earth!

Our hearts are fixed, O God, our hearts are steadfast and confident! We will sing and make melody. We will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; we will sing praises to You among the nations. For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great, reaching to the heavens, and Your truth and faithfulness to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth. Agreeing with Psalm 57 together in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 15

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?

2 Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right,
and speak the truth from their heart;
3 who do not slander with their tongue,
and do no evil to their friends,
nor take up a reproach against their neighbours;
4 in whose eyes the wicked are despised,
but who honour those who fear the Lord;
who stand by their oath even to their hurt;
5 who do not lend money at interest,
and do not take a bribe against the innocent.

Those who do these things shall never be moved.

Yet despite our grave sins, in Your Mercy and Grace You sent light into the darkness to warn us of what would befall our nation if we did not repent and turn back to You O Lord.

Dear Lord, though this Republic was built upon Your Word, the perfect foundation, we have allowed the enemy to overtake us. We removed You from our culture and are now reaping violence, deception and destruction.

Lord, may these fruits of evil be too offensive to liberal minds, that they will abandon their folly. Oh Lord, we ask that many will be led to repent and seek restoration in You. As a nation, may again welcome You into our homes, our shops, and our towns.

We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen

[stars & stripes forever]

AMEN.

FATHER GOD,

Thank You in Your great mercy that You have opened a door for parents to homeschool their children. Give them the courage and knowhow to break free from the public education system. Give parents and grandparents a desire to choose a Christian curriculum to teach the children so that the Biblical foundations are restored in the generations.

May President Trump's plan to give parents COVID-19 money to pay for homeschooling, private, and Christian school tuition and costs come to fruition.

In the Name of JESUS we rebuke and renounce all secular, perverted spirits that are attempting to steal the hearts and minds of the children. Fill the children with Your SPIRIT, LORD. Give them a yearning to search for and find truth. Give them Godly wisdom and understanding. Save our children.

In JESUS' Name we pray. AMEN.
