Son, how foolish the people are today. They think the prayers and covenant their forefathers made do not apply to them. They must remember that it is better to never make a vow or covenant with Me than to make one and then break it. For I hold every generation to the covenant I made by your founding forefathers. They think they can break the covenant by saying that there never was one. But they are wrong. Now listen to what their first President asked of Me.
“My first act as President is a prayer. I ask you to bow your heads. Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: ‘Use power to help people.’ For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us to remember it, Lord. The Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us; so that He may incline our hearts to Him, to walk in all His ways… that all peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other.” (George Washington)
“It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” (George Washington)
Son, tell My children to watch out for those leaders who do evil. What sorrow awaits these leaders for they have destroyed and taken away all hope from the very ones they were expected to care for. Instead of caring and leading them to safety, they have deserted them. Therefore, your land is now under a curse, and is in mourning because your leaders have abused what power they have.
My heart is broken because of these smooth-tongued leaders. They abuse their authority and turn My words upside down. Have any of these leaders even been in My presence to hear what I am saying? NO! They don’t care enough to listen to Me! If they had stood before Me to listen they would have understood My words, and would have turned people from their evil ways. Do they think they can hide from Me when I am everywhere in all the heavens and earth? Therefore, My anger will not diminish until it has finished all I have planned. I must bring disaster upon them for they have abandoned the covenant their forefathers made with Me. In the days to come they will understand all this very clearly.
Son, whatever happens, rejoice in Me, and rely on what I have done for you. Put no confidence in human effort, and remember everything is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Me your Lord. You became righteous when you put your faith in Me. Therefore, stay true to Me and remember that I am coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell Me what you need, and thank Me for all I have done. Then you will experience My peace, which exceeds anything you can understand. My peace will guard your heart and mind as you live with Me.
One final thing, fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise, and then you will know how to be content with whatever you have. You will learn the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For, you can do everything through Me, who gives you your strength. This is faith; My way of making you depend on Me for everything.
Lord, when I look at the night sky and see the work of Your fingers – the moon and the stars that You set in place – who am I that You should think about me the way You do? You made me and care for me. You crowned me with Your glory and honor, and I don’t deserve it. Thank You for seeing me through Your Son.
