God's Dream

"I have a dream... "
These words ring in our hearts as the profound words
of Dr. Martin Luther King, whose Godly example and leadership brought much needed dignity,
awareness and Godly change within the cultural
fabric of America back in the 60's.

Do you know where such a dream came from?
A dream for equality, justice and dignity amongst
people from different racial heritages?
That dream was born in the Heart of God Himself!

God said, let us make man in OUR image.
Depending on what is your racial, cultural,
genetic background, when you read that,
will determine what picture you form in your mind!

Was Adam and Eve, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Mediterranean or Indian?
Did they have blonde hair or black hair,
or brown hair? What about eye color and
facial features? Since Adam and Eve were
only 1 couple and we have so many
different races, and colors and heritages,
where did they all come from?
Have you ever wondered?

Let's see God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and
replenish the Earth... so logical deduction would be
that all those different DNA's had to be present in the prototype for the different races to have come into being!
(That's because we ALL were already in God's Heart!)

Are you ready for a shocker?
All of us can trace our roots back to Adam and Eve!
Which means that we are all brothers and sisters at
the very basis of where it all began. Hello!
Now that may be unsettling to some folks who still
have darkness, pride and ego in the crevices of their
hearts and lying vanities in their heads.

So out of all the people's of the world God was looking
for a race that He could show Himself strong to, and
dwell with and have them for a showcase of His
goodness. And He chose Abraham out of the idol
worshipers of that day. Abraham was not a "saved" man
when God called him! He was an idol worshiper. But God looked at his heart and found it pliable and seeking.
(What does God find when He looks at our hearts? )

Thus Israel was "born." But you know God didn't say
"to hell with the rest of the world." No, Israel was to be a purveyor of Truth, of Righteousness, and to be a place
where all the nations of the world could come to,
to find HIM! Fast forward to Jesus' day.
Jeshua Ha Mashiach- Jesus The Messiah had come,
but Israel did not recognize Him!

God's dream was/is still the same- to have a home
where others could find Him. So He sent out the
Apostles and disciples to tell the good news that God
was looking for them, to have a home in their hearts!
Out of this home and this living relationship would flow
living water, and hope and Light for the world to see.
No longer devoted to Israel only, God graciously made
the offer available to all of us! (Rom. 11:17-32)

He offered the dream in His heart to have a beacon
burning brightly amongst all peoples and nations.
And He planted it deep with in the heart of men and
women, who in turn followed the dream in their
hearts to a "Brave New World" to Birth a Nation,
whose Founder was God Almighty, the Living God.
Thus AMERICA was born. Not to replace Israel,
but to come along side of her in purpose to shine
forth the Praises of HIM who has called us out of
darkness into His marvelous light.

America has stood for Righteousness and
Justice and Mercy, and has sent out more aid to
the world than any other, helping in times of
crisis in other lands and sending not only
humanitarian aid, but sending the GOSPEL of
Jesus Christ into lands that were in darkness,
but now have had the Kingdom of God draw near
because missionaries "went."

Ours is a Heritage built on dreams that flowed
into the heart of man from the Heart of God.
And God has found many "homes" to dwell in,
because men and women went with a dream in
their heart to share the Love and the Light
of the Gospel with others.

America was not man's idea, but God's Dream!
America is not just "another nation" but rather
we are a Nation set apart unto God Himself,
for His purposes, with a Destiny to fulfill.
We were called in Righteousness, we were
founded on Biblical principles governing
men's hearts who drew up a Living Document-
alive with God's Heart in it!

This is America. Built on Christian-Judeao
principles, and philosphies and ethics.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
(Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaaqob.) The One who
sent Jesus to bring us back home to Him!

Remember, Israel was told to build a court
in the temple, where the nations of the world,
the Gentiles (goyim) could come into this place
to seek Him and worship. Notice, they were not
told to make room for the other nations gods,
but to give them place to come see the One True God!

So too, I speak to YOU America; "make no place
for other gods in your temples!" Give no place to
anyone or anything but the ONE TRUE GOD,
who has called you forth out of the
Dream in HIS HEART. You were bought with
the price of Blood America. His Blood. Though your
sins be scarlet they shall be white as snow.
Return to your first love!
You have been kept by the blood of many who
believed in and gave their lives for your freedom,
heeding the call of the Dream that made You a reality.

God has blessed You. And now you have journeyed
from from Him. Will He also not chastise you and
bring you back to Himself? Return now!
Revive again the Dream of God for America!
Be delivered from the Wilderness of Sin.
Open wide and and Let the King of Glory
come back in!

Red, White and Blue-
God, America SHALL Live for You!
America Shall Be Saved! You did not destroy Israel
in the wilderness for your own name sake and
we cry out to You oh Lord, do not cast us off!
Lord we cry out to You for America!
We cry out for You to come and visit us!
Forgive us Lord! Cleanse us from all
unrighteousness and make us a showcase
of Your Goodness and Glory once again!
Thank you for this Great Nation-
One Nation UNDER GOD- Under YOU.
Let Freedom Ring! Let it ring in our hearts as
we bow and submit to You and make you Lord
individually in our lives and collectively in our Land.
Thank you for the privilege and honour of
being an American. But that pales beside the
Honour and awesome responsibility
of being a CHRISTIAN. Help us to remember
that their is neither Greek nor Jew, nor bond,
nor free, when our lives are hidden in Thee!
In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
