Day 175 Trampled...Polluted?

 

6/24/2026

"Like a trampled spring, and a polluted well,

is a righteous man, who gives way to the wicked."

Proverb 25:26

 

This afternoon I sat through a Zoom meeting that while informative and positive, didn't respond to the questions I have regarding some pretty disturbing situations going on at this time. Again I sit here, staring at my inbox filled with news from this source and the other, pull up ministry prayer points or switch over for the daily updates, and I want to scream - ENOUGH!! In fact, one of my sources that deals with protecting our children from cyber predators by providing education and advocacy is called Enough Is Enough. There should be more ministries dedicated to exposing the truth and ensuring that it doesn't happen again. Ministries that actually protect our children, exposing the predators, and ensuring that they are punished for what they have done. Silencing the voice of the enemy once and for all.

Each day I receive a short documentary about our founding forefathers, meant to educate those who, like me, may have forgotten the details of American history, and for others who never had the privilege of learning about the richness of the history of the land in which they live. When I was a child, our school would take regular field trips to historical sites with enactments and plays from those periods of history. I loved feeling as if I was a part of the drama. Of course the darker periods were not reenacted for the public, or perhaps I was unaware of any that may have existed, but there were museums with graphic reminders of the evils that existed during those dark days. There were many events in our history that I wish never happened, but that, sadly, exists as part of the history of any people. 

There's so much excitement about our nation's 250th anniversary, and rightly so, as it should be a special time, but it is unfortunate that many want to spoil it. There have even been plans to cause harm at some of earlier events, but thankfully the plans were thwarted. The enemy truly is roaming around seeking whom he can destroy, and he is using indoctrinated young people who have been filled with lies and hatred by many who are engaged in government and public affairs. I think about all the movies that have been made about such evil manipulation of otherwise innocent minds. It is sick and sadistic, and it should not be allowed to exist.  

On March 20, 2025 our President sent out an announcement regarding the upcoming 250th anniversary and reminders of our founding fathers participation in achieving the freedom of our nation. He spoke of Patrick Henry's famous and impassioned speech he made during the Second Virginia Convention held at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia where he stood at the pulpit and spoke these words:

“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

As a child I remember memorizing speeches to include this one, our Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. As part of our education we learned State history, United States history, and in many instances world history. In our colleges and universities, founded initially on Christian beliefs and a moral conscience, we were taught the Bible as literature, as it is the historical account of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, of which followers of Christ have been grafted in to share in God's promises to His chosen people. Many do not realize the significance of that, as now the seminaries and colleges teach the false doctrine of Replacement Theology in which the Jewish people, God's chosen people, have been replaced by the church. A people who wrote the Bible and gifted it to us.

Right now our nation is embroiled in a battles that happen each day in the higher offices of our nation, between those we have voted into office who have pledged to uphold the great traditions and heritage of our brave forefathers. Isn't that what the commemoration of the 250th anniversary is all about? But within the halls of our Congress deadly cat and mouse games are going on every day that most Americans are not even aware of nor do they care to truly question. The one place where these matters of life and death should be discussed but are pushed aside as not relevant or not to be discussed - the church. But this is a lie, because scripture is very plain about what we are expected to do as believers in Christ who are following in His example of righteousness, truth, and justice. Isaiah said that the government is upon His shoulders, and He entrusted it to us.

Whereas I do not enjoy reading the legislative documents that are composed by our legislators, it would be well advised if we all took the time to examine exactly what is being placed into the hands of our leaders that affect our lives and the decisions being made on our behalf, especially when there is so much infighting in the halls of justice.

Everyone is made to believe that our President is the cause of wrong doing when if, rather than listening to gossip of higher ups and media, as most people are prone to do, even in the church where gossip is exchanged for legitimate prayer needs, eyes may be open to the real truth. No one is perfect, and every human being ever born makes mistakes and sins each day of their lives, especially with their tongues speaking falsely against their brothers, but the hatred spewed against our sitting commander and chief is deplorable and needs to be put to an end. It is shameful and disrespectful, and the office should be honored.

Jesus told the Pharisees in their sermons about holiness and keeping the law that they strained out a gnat and swallowed a camel. We speak of prayer for our nation, and rightly so. Our nation is in terrible need of repentance for the sins of abortion, organ harvesting, experimentation, human trafficking and drugs, pornography, antisemitism, anti-Zionism, anti-Christianity in a nation founded on Christian beliefs of morality and good common sense. While fighting ourselves over other matters we have allowed communism of China and Iran's Islamic doctrine to infiltrate our nation undermining our people and planting their own purposes, many of which are firmly taking root. All while eyes are focused on many other distractions.

We must wake up and see things for what they are. Just look at what has happened in other nations not just in America, but look at the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, European nations, and the hideous torment of the people in Nigeria and the Congo. It is time to wake up, pay attention to what is happening and what has already taken place.

This grieves my spirit every day, and I pray that the Church will wake up, repent for only caring about their own agendas, and truly seek the face of God. I stand for Israel, and I love the people, but Israel will be saved, because God said it, so it is truth. The Bible does not say the same for our nation. Who has really taken the time to truly read the Bible cover to cover? It is well worth the time, and it should be done daily. It is time to seek God while He may be found.
