Today my precious Michael forwarded a heroes video to me that he received from one of his military buddies. (the link to this video is below ... please take a moment to watch and listen. Ten Tenors perform.) The photo of the American soldiers raising the flag at Iwo Jima in 1945 (seen above) particularly moved my spirit. I saw the American soldiers, who symbolize you and me, soldiers of the cross, drafted into God's Army. I saw each of us joining together in prayer as we raise up God's standard over this nation that HE is GOD and HE has the final word if this nation is to stand. Our dear American flag with its stars and stripes boldly declare the freedom and liberty our soldiers have fought hard to protect. Many of our loved ones and friends lives have been sown into the soil of nations abroad to preserve what this flag represents! "Old Glory" symbolizes the same standard we are fighting for that will protect our rights and freedom to worship Him. Let's join together in prayer and ask for our Father's intervention in the affairs of our nation's future. Let's fight the good fight in the spirit. The battle can be won!!
