Liberty’s Requirements
When the body of Christ again acquires accurate knowledge of our history of who we once were as a result of the Godly principles we once lived by, then the eyes of vision will see clearly and the heart of hope will again become healthy, and the muscle of faith will be strong. Then the spirit of love will be activated to willingly and courageously pay whatever price is required for the life of liberty to be maintained!!!
But as long as the body of Christ remains ignorant of our Nation’s history that reveals the accurate knowledge of who we once were as a result of the Godly principles we once lived by, the eyes of vision will remain dim and the heart of hope will stay sick, and the muscle faith will continue to be weak as the spirit of love remains deactivated. This will result in the loss of the will and the courage required to maintain the life of liberty we once had been privileged to experience.
For the loss of the life we once had, we only have ourselves to blame. If we want it back, we have to find out who we were. Our history is waiting to be rediscovered by those who once knew it and discovered by most who have never known it.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a civilization as ours, it expects what never was and never will be.”
The future of America is in the hands of those who, through accurate knowledge of their history, will become engaged or those who, through ignorance of their history, have become spectators on the sidelines. If you love your country and value your freedom, the one person you don’t want to be is a spectator, and the one place you don’t want to be is on the sidelines. The problem is that most Christians are on the sidelines wandering aimlessly without a clue that the freedom that they for too long have taken for granted for too long is gradually disappearing and without responsible maintenance will cease to exist.
The freedom we have been privileged to experience is not free.
It was purchased for us at a high price and can only remain as long as the citizens of each generation are willing to pay the price required for its continuation.
The reason it is vital for each generation to pay the price required for its continuation is that the freedom we have, if not maintained, will not remain, and if it’s lost because we failed to pay the cost, we will realize too late that we have created our own fate and the fate of our descendants.
