“Be of good courage and let us be strong for our people and for our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.” II Samuel 10:12
Christian patriots encourage bravery, patriotism and trust in God. Cooperation + Patriotism + Faith = Victory. This is a good formula for successful resistance when evil attacks our nation, our neighborhood, our family. Ask others to help you resist the enemy. Be loyal to your country. Be devoted to God.
True patriots are loyal. A loyal patriot is committed to a belief, a cause or a person they would be willing to die for. They do not turn back, but remain loyal. It is much like Christian discipleship. Believers should be good at loyalty and demonstrate it.
A patriot is loyal to one's country, even when in disagreement with current policies. Often Christians are punished for being loyal to what they believe. We may not always approve how things are going, but we are still citizens of the land in which God placed us. Love God and pray for your nation. He has instructed us to do so.
Patriots are not cowards. They do not drop out when others disagree. Christians know the Lord sees what is going on in their town. As a citizen be strong. Ask God how you can show His goodness to your community.
Encourage Patriotism: When you hear of a Christian who is brave enough to stand up for what they believe, even when it is not 'politically correct' in our culture, take time to pray for them. Find a way to send a message that says you admire their courage. Support those groups and organizations whose purpose is to be salt and light in America.
A Patriot's Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I want to be courageous as your witness and be loyal to my country. I thank you for brave patriots who have served my country with faith and trust in you. Prepare me to be fearless and faithful as a good citizen and Christian believer. I pray for a spiritual awakening to bring us all back to the Bible. In Jesus name. Amen
