Declaring Our Independence - Based On God July, 2009

by: Rev. Dr. Leslie Mary Trombly
Copyright © 2009

Happy Fourth of July to everyone!

Since it is obvious that this Country is rapidly losing its independence and the freedoms that we have enjoyed since 1620 and then officially in 1776 when this Government of the United states was formed; I thought it appropriate that we have a strong reminder of how instilled God is in this country and how badly those who hate God are doing all they can to eradicate him from it.

Thanks to my friend, Charles Mellott, here is a list of all the States of America's preambles. Now tell me that this country wasn't founded or based on the principles of God! I have also included the Preamble for the United States of America as well from 1776 and the Bill of Rights 1st Amendment. However, since 1992 [that is as far back as I have been able to go when George H.W. Bush was in the last year of his presidency to his son's last day as President the Declaration of Independence has been severely altered and compromised.

After seeing this, tell me that we are not a God-based Country that used to be more Christian than heathen or anything else. Now we are a disgrace to ourselves, this country and most of all to God. It is time we DECLARED OUR INDEPENDANCE AGAIN AND TOOK THIS COUNTRY BACK FROM THOSE WHO WOULD SEEK TO DESTROY IT WITH THEIR EVIL INTENT LIES, DECEPTIONS, INMORALITIES, PERVERSIONS, GREED AND ALL THE THINGS THAT GO COMPLETELY AGAINST GOD! How much do you love your country? Are you willing to fight for it and for God or just sit there on your laurels with the attitude 'LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT'.

I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of seeing the degradation that this country has sunken to since the 1960's. I am but one voice crying in the darkness and that one voice, like John the Baptist said in Mathew 3:3 =- 'For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.' and verified hundreds of years before in the old testament in Isaiah 40:3 - 'The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.' [cf - in Mark 1:3; John 1:23; Luke 3:4] I am tired of being that one voice and it is time that others joined in and made it many voices and tell those who wield their power over us that we have had enough! It's time we told them that we are not going to take it any more and reclaim our country, our rights and our freedoms back, as well as, putting God back in America! This country is a total disgrace before God with all its condoned immorality, drugs crime and lack of faith in the one true and living God. You want this country back Then take it back and put God back where he has always been. Right now he has lifted his hand and his blessing off this country because of all the raging sin and corruption going on as well as man's continual rejection and denial of Him.

'When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.'

In the Bill of Rights: The First Amendment:

'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.'

'Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.' - William Penn

BLESSED IS THE NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD ... PSALM 33:12 GOD BLESS AMERICA

I have lived on this planet and in this country since I was born over 63 years ago in a New England state. I remember when neighbor cared about neighbor and a helping hand was always available. Today, if you ask for help, you generally get ,'ya sure; but its going to cost you.' I can remember when there was a need for food to a poor family or a family whose main supporter was out of work, A church would Help you. Today, no church will help you whether you are a member or not. I can remember the times when we could ride bicycles as children and not be grabbed by some pervert or pedophile. Today, that is not so. I remember when it was safe to walk the street after midnight with out fear and never having to lock your doors. Now only the brave venture out and only the foolish leave their doors unlocked. Most have security systems and bars on the doors and windows and have become literal prisoners in their own homes. I can remember when families that prayed together stayed together. Today there is no real family unless there is real love and God is part of the family. Real love today is almost non-existent. Today, one's idea of love is pure lust based on looks not what the person is on the inside. What makes that person who and what they are in reality.

My grandmother always told me to 'never judge a book by its cover. Read the book.' What she was saying is that the cover can be all pretty and beautiful or hamdsome and good looking, but what is the story [person] all about.

I can remember fathers who took their fatherhood seriously and were the fathers they should be to their children and I remember that caring and compassion was never over-shadowed by how will this benefit me in doing this or how much money can I make helping these people? I remember when it wasn't a me, myself and I generation. Today it is a me, my and mine and I don't care who I step on or who gets hurt along the way, as long as it gets me what I want. Years ago it used to be a joke when it was said 'Keeping up with the Jones' '. Today Its outdoing the Jones' and flaunting it with a great deal of arrogance and a sanctimonious attitude. I remember when dating that our parents set a time to be home and they had to approve the fella' that you wanted to date. Today, the parents don't care as long as their children are 'out of their hair' so they can do 'their thing'. I can remember when America took pride in all they made and built from furniture to cars. Now-a-days there is no pride or good workmanship in the things we have today, They are done overseas and shipped in. I am tired of seeing made in Japan, made in Mexico, made in the Philippians, made in China, made in Germany, made in Argentina and made in Taiwan. You have no idea how hard it is to find something that is really AMERICAN MADE in AMERICA. I can remember when children respected their parents and real parents loved their children. Today, parents kill their children and their spouses or the children kill the parents and their siblings and others.

This country sure has changed in 49 years and certainly not for the better, by any stretch of the imagination. Our freedoms - more like what freedoms? Thanks to people like Madeline O'Hare, the ALCU and other like them. The freedoms that are now granted to the heathens while the Christian and Jew are being slowly and methodically stripped of theirs and threatened with prison time for standing on their faith. From the way I see it, bible prophecy is right on the money unless we do something to regain our Independence in this country once more.

Comments from Chris ^98.30.187.94

For certain, we began as a Christian nation and minority desires and opinions have been allowed to take control. My heart breaks for America and want the values of our founding fathers to emerge once again. God Bless America and Happy Independence Day to you!
