In America we have grown so used to not fighting (standing against, not physical fighting) for or against things the government, our schools, our local city councils, etc. forces on us or our children, that it's becoming harder and harder to recognize what true liberty looks like. Now we are living in such times where if we don't stand up and say "NO" or Enough" we will lose our children, our free speech, our religious freedoms, etc. You name it. All is on the line now in our country. Complacency is SO hard to fight. The church has been fighting complacency forever, but it is not just in the church. It's in our everyday lives To me, it's almost as if we have ALL been brainwashed or indoctrinated to think, there is nothing we can do. Nothing really matters. Just live your life, take care of your own and don't focus or think about the future or what's going on in the nation or even your neighbor's life. Maybe if I put it out of my mind and don't think about it, everything will work itself out. It's hard for me, but for some reason God has put a passon in me to try and wake people up and say, "Fight!" Don't just keep dancing, drinking, socializing, going on vacations, or even just taking care of your own little family. We should all be praying like never before, reading the Word and getting our marching orders for going into action. If Esther had not been willing to go before the king, she could not have saved her people. To me, she is a perfect example of how God's people get involved in government affairs. She had prayer covering because she had asked her people to be fasting and praying, but she also, had physical actions she had to complete in order for her people to be saved from certain death. There are so many other examples of God's people getting involved and even radical, for example; Daniel, Shadrack, Meshack and Abedneg, just to name a few. If the Founding Fathers had been like us with the same mindset we have, America would have never gained her freedom from England. (Don't feel condemned. I'm ranting at myself, too.)
