The Letter I am about to share focuses on, of all things, the second amendment. Some would argue that the Lord would not be concerned about certain socio-political topics; but that’s not the case. History argues the opposite, as it’s clear when you look at how His Divine Hand moved upon our infant nation and the Constitution which guarantees that America remains a free nation, for today and many more generations to come.
Something He highlighted was the ‘span of our prayers’, meaning that our warfare is often shortsighted, only focusing on today’s needs instead of battling now for those who come after us. He showed me that in some, especially the youth, a self-focused attitude had developed, similar to that of King Hezekiah, who only cared about peace in his day.
Isaiah had just prophesied that captivity and plunder lay ahead for his kingdom, but to this he responded:
“Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, ‘The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.’ For he thought, ‘Why not, if there will be peace and security in my days?’.”
Vision: I saw deep rows of archers that had been sent by the King to make ready His field for forward advancement. Placed near the front row of archers, stood a large vat of oil. Every time an arrow was dipped, the tip of the arrow would ignite with fire so that upon impact the target would be consumed with flames, making the clearing process much easier. However, many of those standing on the firing line aimed too short, missing their mark, which meant that the next row of archers would have to contend against the remaining enemy targets, those that were further out on the field of battle, making recovery of that particular battleground, at that time, a more arduous task.
Then I heard this:
To keep and bear arms is a right in this nation, yet eager are some to abolish this freedom from the list of Constitutionally protected amendments, as an unarmed citizenry poses less of a threat to the rule of a centralized government. And so, as if being attacked with a chisel there has been a chipping away at this amendment, with bans having been intentionally added to make owning a gun a more difficult process.
Those who assert their right to be armed are demonized, for indeed has an aggressive campaign been launched, meant to sway public opinion in such a way that the average American will cave to societal pressure and voluntarily surrender this liberty without any form of retaliation.
However, should the American people give up this right, it won’t take long before their Constitution vanishes from sight, as what should have been highly valued was then left unprotected. And while I do not advocate for violence, still, a people should have the right to defend themselves from an attack, and not solely rely upon the government to keep them safe. For it is this exact mindset of dependency that those bureaucrats who ardently oppose the 2nd amendment are striving to create.
Though in the current generation of Americans there exists those who are still loyal to God and country, amongst the youth, however, this patriotic attitude is only held in a few, as too many have already embraced anti-American views. As such, these won’t have any qualms supporting efforts that would essentially nullify the Constitution. For in ignorance do the youth in this nation stand, as freedom was not something they had to earn, and therefore, its true significance is lost upon them. How quickly, then, would freedom become a thing of the past if the prevailing ideologies found in this younger generation are allowed to remain. For through them all that would then be lost would never again be regained.
And so it is that a two pronged assault must commence, where My warriors contend not only against the powers that are attacking the 2nd amendment, but also that the perception of America shifts amongst the younger generations; driving out the spirit of anger from amongst them.
Ah, then, it’s not just enough to pray that the efforts of those currently leading the charge in favor of more restrictive gun control measures are halted, but that the lies accepted by the youth in this nation about the 2nd amendment, and the Constitution overall, are broken off. For it is not only for this present day that you must do battle, but also for the future, in order that your children’s-children’s children are still found standing as free Americans.
Therefore, take up your shield and lay hold of your sword, then step onto this battlefield! For the enemy is already deeply entrenched upon this ground. To drive him out will take a continued effort, as it is according to “the long game” that he has set his lines. Do not be shortsighted in your warfare, only seeking peace in your time, but, instead, extend the length of your prayers to include those who shall come after you. Cover their days now so that America continues to be a free and prosperous nation for many generations to come.
“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty and I will meditate on your wonderful works.”- Psalm 145:3-5
