Ok, and today I just want to make this note. Most of our laws that govern our lands come from the commandments. For those who do not believe in God might find it hard to believe that our laws really came from God. How about that!!! Now while we are all aware that there are laws on the books about stealing, about murder, and about giving false testimony, not many realize that there are still laws on the books about adultery. But don't just look at those commandments that cover a lot of our laws, I am talking about asking God to keep on blessing this nation and when I look at 2 Chronicles 7:14 and I see how we need to, as a people, as a Nation, need to humble before God and then I look at all the commandments and see how many we break... Oh my gosh, it is a wonder that God blesses us as a nation at all and yet we are still one of the best blessed nations in the world.

While I ask you as you look at those commandments how many of them do you think are broken each day by our elected officials in Washington and in our State houses, but before I ask that I want to ask you to go to that mirror and talk to the one looking back at you and ask this question... How many of these have I broken? Now, let me let you know that if you have broken some and have asked God to forgive you, you have been forgiven and do not let anyone bring them up and hold them against you, except maybe those that will require you to answer to man.

But as a nation, as a people as a whole, we have broken all of God's commandments, and yet we ask Him to bless us. This year we need to humble ourselves as a people as a nation and we need to come to God and I know no better place to start this than by doing it myself and then asking you folks to join me. So today will you join me, will you humble yourself before God asking for God to forgive you and also forgive us as a nation and then do your part to get the word out to others so we may turn this country around? I am not talking here about sending this message ahead, I am talking about each of us talking to a few people in person or by phone or even email asking them to humble to God so our nation can be healed. Think of it, if we all would ask, say, five people and then those five would ask five... how it grows. But it must be personal, from the heart. I will commit to it, I will start it right now and lead all of you in this prayer...

Dear Father in Heaven, I humble myself before you today, knowing that I have sinned and knowing that others in our country have sinned, our nation has aborted babies, your children, some have stolen, some have murdered, as a nation we have broken all those commandments, so, Lord, starting with me, forgive me and help me get to others. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Now Go forth and share your blessings and share a prayer with others about our nation... God Bless the USA, God heal the USA, and Forgive the USA. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
