Tonight’s Call PRAYER/PROPHETIC UPDATES…FREEDOM HAS A PRICE!
PRAYER CAN SAVE AMERICA…FROM INTERCESSORS FOR AMERICA!
This prophetic article, originally published in April 1976, is just as relevant today – Dr Billy Graham:
On December 31, the eve of our bicentennial year, Dr. Billy Graham warned every American that our nation’s survival as a free society is by no means certain, and that the outcome will depend upon what Christians do to remedy America’s spiritual decline. The urgency of our situation as he portrayed it must challenge each of us:
I believe that every problem facing us tonight as Americans is basically a spiritual problem. Crime is a spiritual problem. Inflation is a spiritual problem. Corruption is a spiritual problem. Social injustice is a spiritual problem. The lack of a “will” even to defend our freedom is a spiritual problem. The Lord, speaking through His servant, the prophet Isaiah said, “I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask me. I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, here am I, to a nation that did not call on my name. I spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people…who provoke me to my face continually…when I spoke, you did not listen, but you did that which was evil in my eyes…” And judgement came!
The great question before us tonight: Will this nation survive this century as a free society, or even for the next five years as a free society? God is warning us tonight that judgment is going to fall upon us in a very short time unless we as a nation repent and turn to God. Will America turn to God at this late hour, or will America continue the broad road that leads to destruction? It will soon be too late to decide-clouds are gathering.”
A New York Times correspondent who recently returned from an extended assignment in Moscow observed that America is a nation adrift. We are like a ship that has lost its bearings, aimlessly tossing on a stormy sea. Our goals as individuals as a nation are blurred. We lack purpose and direction. A young American girl, attending a recent world literature exposition in Frankfurt, Germany saw dramatic evidence of this. As exhibits were dismantled on the final day, Americans and Europeans staggered about from the nights of parties and drinking. In stark contrast, the well-mannered high officials from Communist China who attended the show calmly gathered in a circle in their exhibition booth to openly discuss their plans for world domination. The reality then struck her: these people, misguided as they are, have a specific goal and a plan for accomplishing it. While we flounder, the well-organized forces of Satan are on the move, implementing a counterfeit of the great commission Jesus gave His followers: “Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations…” We can ill-afford to drift. Left unchecked, we can expect our situation to worsen in every sector of our national life-government, the family, education, our moral structure-on and on. The path that leads to destruction is indeed wide.
Dr. Billy Graham’s question bears restating: “Will America repent and turn to God at this late hour?”
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 56 MEN WHO SIGNED THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more.
Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’
Independence Day…there was a price to pay for freedom!
