The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, has been a federal holiday since 1941. However, the traditions of this day go back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.
Post a prayer for your state!
Beginning in 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence. A day to celebrate freedom! The yearly festivities include family gatherings, cookouts, fireworks, parades and much more. The more I witness in our nation, the more I appreciate this particular holiday.
Our celebration usually begins as my daughter prepares a patriotic playlist on her phone. These moving songs float through the atmosphere as we enjoy a display of fireworks to celebrate the freedom that still belongs to us, regardless of what is trying to be accomplished by ungodly leadership. The words of these songs touch a place deep in my heart year after year.
“I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free, I won’t forget the men who died, who gave their life for me, so I gladly stand up…” (Proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood)
Today, this phrase rings in my heart. I will gladly stand up. That is what we, as intercessors, and those who love our America have been doing. Standing up and fighting for the freedom that belongs to this great nation. It belonged to us in 1776 and it still belongs to us today. Our job is to stand up and declare God’s word over our nation.
Some of you may ask, “For how long?” Until we see victory.
Other may proclaim, “What’s the point, things are getting worse.” The point is the promises of God are still true. God still has a plan for our nation, and it is a good plan.
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your outcome (Jer 29:11, Amp.)
John Adams said, “But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” For this reason, we cannot allow our liberty to be lost, we must continue to fight for the freedom of our nation.
James Madison was quoted as say, “The people are the only legitimate fountain of power.” This is still true today. It is up to us to continue to stand and fight for our freedom, just as our founding fathers did.
One day, not too long ago, I was in a store shopping. Everywhere I looked there were items celebrating pride month and LGBTQ. Sadly, I contemplated this fact as I heard Holy Spirit speak deep inside my heart. He said, “There are more with us.”
I was immediately reminded of 2 King 6:15-17.
And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Friends, it is the same with us today. There is more with us. It only appears we are outnumbered because of all the noise from the other side. Do not allow the noise to discourage you. Keep your eyes on God and His word. There ARE more with us – God has promised us this. I pray today that God would open your eyes and you would clearly see the angels of God and the chariots of fire that surround this nation. They are there! We stand firm on the promises of God and declare His Word over this great land as we celebrate Independence Day, knowing whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
As we proclaim Your Word today, God, we cry out to You, “Let Freedom Ring!”

Yes, Amen!!! This is the truth. 1/3 of angels rebelled against God, 2/3 remained with God, so more are for us than against us. But above all, if God is for us, who can be against us, and He is, He proved it at the Cross. So if God, the God above all gods, is for us, who can be against us? The enemy is a liar, no truth in him. Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee. Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world!!! The gates (the schemes and strategies) of hell shall not overcome the church. Let the church arise and the enemy be scattered, as we recognize and remember it is Christ in us, our hope of glory!!!
I so agree with you – there are “more with us” even if we don’t see them (or hear them) because the media wants to determine what we see and hear – wanting us to believe their narrative over what we actually see, hear and experience in our daily lives – this is gaslighting. But let us believe the Truth, which is God’s eternal, living Word – His promises still stand and so can we stand – we can stand up for our nation and our freedoms by bending our knees and bowing our heads in prayer to our Almighty, Sovereign, merciful God. As the song says, “when we fight, we fight on our knees.” http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
Jesus, let righteous shout as we pray for America and its people, let the power of God flood this land. God as our representatives from Congress, and Senators we will as Intercessor’s pray over them as they fight with laws, and the rules of the Constitution. As the United States of America celebrates Independence Day on July 4, it’s worth noting the nation was founded upon the idea that God created human beings to be free. The Declaration of Independence states that people “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” People have been searching for it for thousands of years. God had created the perfect freedom: Until, Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve rebelled, which has caused long term spiritual and physical effects On the people. But God came to rescue time and time again—“When God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He was foreshadowing the arrival of Jesus Christ, who came to free humanity from sin. “ Today, many people are living in spiritual slavery without realizing it. They chase false gods of money, success, personal comfort and romantic love—only to realize they still have an emptiness that can’t be filled by any of those things. As we are in the middle of fighting for our complete freedom in America, God we understand the reason for the Cross-“Jesus began his short period of ministry on the earth, He announced He was the One that God’s people had been waiting for since the fall of humanity.” Thank You God for the understanding this fight is spiritual, the Leftist Democratic Party is being pushed by Satan and others, God’s answer to our loss of freedom has always been Jesus Christ, He was the One that God’s people had been waiting for since the fall of humanity in the garden. Jesus came to free us from sin, and anything that would enslave us. “ Quoting -James Madison was quoted as saying-The people are the only legitimate fountain of power.” This is still true today. It is up to us to continue to stand and fight for our freedom, just as our founding fathers did.“ God I understand this completely it is up to The Christians who believes in the power of our Savior will place a Trust in Him. When Jesus stood up to read, He was saying the future had arrived. Liberty would come through Him. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” -John 8-36
The mark of a true Christian is found in a personal relationship to the Person of Jesus Christ. “Jesus said, “I am the truth.” Men know and understand the power of truth, and truth is that which sets men free. God never lies! “God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?” Numbers 23-19. We cannot allow our Freedoms, Liberty ever be taken away from us, we must gladly stand up, using Gods words to fight our battles. (John Adams said, “But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”) Gods promises are still true. 2 Timothy-3:16”All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” God thank you for your words of Hope, Promises if we do our part and Stand, Pray, believing we shall see the Promises. 🙏🙏🙏✝️
America have been given to us for the purpose of God’s will to be done. God put every one of us here on this earth at this time to do His holy will. May our work and prayers please Our Father.
Thank you so much for this encouragement. I am standing and will remain standing. Let Freedom Ring! God Bless You and God Bless Our Nation.
Count your Blessings, Count your blessings, instead of your Crosses, Count your gains, instead of your Losses, Count your joys, instead of your Woes Count your friends instead of your Foes, Count your smiles, instead of your Tears.

It’s obvious that many of you don’t care abut us. Please read this Poem, & make the right choices of the people for GOD & COUNTRY, Respecfully yours, Sally
“God still has a plan for this nation, and it is a good plan”. For a season, a reprieve for the great global end times harvest and then Revelation 17 and 18, what other nation in modern times fits the description of Babylon in Rev 17 and 18 than America? which will include the destruction of the global big pharma (the world’s most profitable corrupt enterprise in all history that runs the world today) Rev 18:23 (NAS) ” your merchants were the great men of the earth , because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery” . Sorcery translated from the greek word “pharmakeia” which we get the word “pharmaceutical” from. The book of Revelation are unalterable statements not “if then” conditional promises like 2 Chron 7:14 as such we the body of Christ cannot change these things by prayer, anything to the contrary is apostacy. Fully realize we are citizens of heaven, not America. God is holy, righteous, and just, thus we are to have a reverential fear of Him! May God grant you understanding of all this.
Father You Are Our freedom, in the spirit world, some still fighting for freedom of innocent, in the naturally world, but Jesus giving to Us Both, Freedom, justice and righteousness, I thank you Jesus that You giving Us freedom by USEING your soldier’s to make away, some still in bondage, but I SPEAKING Life and broken chains off of them, You Jesus You set Us Free, and FREE INDEED TO THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎 IN JESUS YESUHA THE CHRIST NAME AMEN
Amen!!!
