America’s Covenant with God.

[JLB]

In 1607, the expedition led by Pastor Robert Hunt arrived in Virginia Beach. When they arrived in Virginia, the expedition dedicated our country to the glory of God. They planted a rough-hewn wooden cross, which they brought from England, in the sand and prayed:

We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth.
May this Covenant of Dedication remain
to all generations, as long as this earth remains,
and may this Land, along with England,
be Evangelist to the World.
May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work that
the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled.​

Why is this significant?​

You see, this covenant with our Lord gives us the legal authority to petition for God’s mercy and protection. Before any permanent settlement, our nation was dedicated to God for all generations. As long as we remember to use this covenant, we have a unique advantage when we ask God to Heal and Bless our nation.

What can I do?​

• First and foremost, teach your family, especially children, the significance of America’s covenant in 1607 with God, one that that lasts for all generations
• Tell your friends, co-workers and everyone you can reach out to. As more people use this covenant in their prayers for the nation, the more powerful our intercession for our land will be
• Now use it when you pray for our nation. When you pray bring this covenant to the Lord and petition that since this nation belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ, that he honors the prayers of the remnant and grants our petitions for our land

God Bless America!​

I haven't had access to this forum for the last 2 days until this morning. However, I'm now seeing this post from yesterday, and instantly recall my own connection to this history.

In 1976 I visited the 700 Club which, at the time, was beginning to relocate its studios from Portsmouth to Virginia Beach. I had wondered how, in 1974 while in Germany, God would be able to fulfill the Great Commission?

When I got back to the States my sister-in-law pointed out to me the 700 Club on TV, which represented the development of Christian satellite networks that now reach the whole world! This was one major way God was going to fulfill the Great Commission in our lifetime!

Pat Robertson of CBN/the 700 Club is apparently related to Pastor Hunt, who had given this initial prayer dedicating the US and England to the cause of the Christian Gospel. And I'm asking God that He continue to use us, as those of us who are true "warriors for God" continue to pray and to live godly lives.

Thank you!
