June fourteen is the day Americans celebrate the flag which symbolizes our liberty and freedom as a nation. Each year the president announces Flag Day and encourages all voters to fly the Yank flag outside their houses and businesses. Many states hold special celebrations and observances, and folks are inspired to recite the Pledge of devotion to our great nation.
Since Sept. The real spirit of America-one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all-is being restored.
Kenneth Copeland believes that the history of our flag started June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress issued a resolution creating an official flag for the United States to express liberty and separation from Great Britain. It has undergone some changes over the years, but the basic design has remained the same with alternating red and an oblong blue field containing white stars in the upper corner close to the staff. I've heard it revealed the red stripes represent the stripes Jesus bore for us and the blood He shed, the white represents the pureness of the new birth, and the blue represents the truth of the Word of God.
Sometimes called the Stars and Stripes, the flag is a powerful symbol for our nation.
Our flag is a standard of liberty and freedom, and that includes above all, the freedom to worship God as a Christian country. Isn't that what the Founding Dads came here for? Isn't that what a lot of them fought and died for?
The freedom to worship and praise God hasn't ever been cheap. It cost Jesus His life. It cost lots of other people their lives too. Our flag represents people who shed their blood for freedom-including Jesus.
He hates it the way he hates God. Devil hates Old Glory's warranted freedoms.
It has traditionally been God's plan to have a country where the glory of God may be sown and nurtured, from which His glory could spread throughout the whole earth. That country would need to be a country where all folk could openly praise and worship Him.
Why?
Our flag represents a country where men and women are not only free, but they can also worship and praise God without fear.
According to
">Kenneth Copeland a period of years back God started to deal with me about ministering "The Star-Spangled Banner" to folk. He told me it is essentially a psalm-an ode, or poem from the Spirit of God, set to melody.
When I started to study "The Star-Spangled Banner" and looked into the center of the person who wrote it, I realized that Francis Scott Key wasn't attempting to write a national anthem, although that is what it became. Rather, as an eyewitness to a historic battle, he wrote his sworn statement during a time of war when men had decided they would rather die for freedom than live under tyranny.
It so happened that in the War of 1812, Mr. Key, a barrister, sailed to the British fleet to arrange the release of a captured American.
