Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!” So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.
When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.“ Joshua 6:1-20 (NIV)
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE:
These past few Sundays, since the message I offered on 9/11, I have been offering the primary
messages each week. It is not because I’m attempting to dominate the content of our LightWing Messages, but because we are getting closer and closer to Election Day, and I have the sense that Americans have strayed so far from the intent the framers had in our Constitution that we are in serious danger of losing our Republic. And the truly sad concern is that most people are oblivious, or so many could care less. In my message concerning honoring the Constitution of the United States, I shared that “It is truly sad that many Americans pay little attention to it in such turbulent times. However, it becomes much more tragic when our trusted elected or appointed officials actually ignore the Law of the Land, or work against it, either in an overt or a covert manner.”
As we move into October, in this highly charged election year, a majority of Americans may be clueless as to the deep rift that has opened up between families, friends, associates, and even strangers over politics, but many others are very aware of that widening divide over political philosophies and subsequent policies. The very barbed and biting rhetoric in public speeches, the increase of violence on city streets and the pervasive anger, fear and uncertainty all add to the division. It seems as if we are now becoming a “Divided States of America” at an ever increasing pace. For those who are awake, it is a time of great concern and a yearning for a definitive resolution.
Such yearning for resolution is real, but the resolution may not come quickly, nor in a way that citizens across America might expect. In my own sense, for what it is worth, the nation is in a state of upheaval on several levels in multiple arenas and not just in the physical dimension. Spiritual leaders and prophets have commented a great deal about the spiritual war that is raging in America and across the world. Thus, resolution must be brought on the different levels as well as the different arenas and resolution must come to the spiritual or cosmic battle that is being waged at such a time as this. However, regarding this political battle that exists, it would seem that a physical solution would not be complete. It truly appears that Divine Intervention is required for a comprehensive resolution.
This is a time of turbulence – a time of tribulation. There are many wise people who realize this, but even those with just plain common sense can recognize this is not a normal time in history. Some Americans believe that the nation is on the verge of a Civil War. Bill Gates just recently said something along these lines not long ago. Many others are ready to take up arms because they sense their freedoms and their precious rights are being trampled.

I offer another message today for this LightWing edition that serves as another follow-up to the one I offered last week. My message today refers readers back to the nation’s origin, which in certain ways seems similar to the nation we live in today. I offer the true testimony of George Washington regarding the turbulent time with which he had to deal, but he was one of those who is responsible for establishing the foundations that are shaking now. His testimony is essential to understand as we deal with the tribulation in this time. Again, I will point out that “if Americans refuse to stand up for their God-given rights, they will lose them. And, I believe that if Americans fritter those rights away, we will also lose hold of the second foundation for the Kingdom. I know that seems harsh, but it is not my simple theory; it is historical fact from the pages of the Bible.”
We hope our readers would consider all the messages in this edition relevant or meaningful and if readers know others who might value them as well, consider becoming an official LightWing messenger and please pass this newsletter on to those whom you feel would welcome it. Or simply, please receive it yourselves. May God bless all of our readers and all loved ones.
========================
May we, who are called by His name, humble ourselves in a time when the foundations of the Land of the Free are being shaken right before our eyes. May we seek Heavenly Father’s face, and pray in sincere repentance as if our nation’s existence depends on it (as it does). May we genuinely turn from our corruption and wickedness. May we truly demonstrate our love for this land and our willingness to take responsibility for ensuring the survival of Freedom.
George Washington’s acknowledgement and Gratitude for God’s Intervention in the Affairs of Men
By Dennis Jamison
10/1/22
America in October of 2022, is in the midst of a highly charged mid-term election. Sadly however, a majority of Americans have lost their God-given ability to discern differences between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ candidates. Thus, never before in our nation’s history has such an anemic level of discernment been capable of endangering Americans with loss of our God-given rights. If citizens cannot, or will not, make intelligently-based decisions regarding leadership that affects the future of the nation, they have no excuse, nor any right of complaint about the outcome of their Intellectual ineptitude or physical laziness. But, in a Democratic Republic, it generates adverse consequences for all the citizens.
God gave Americans inalienable rights for a purpose. Yet, 20 some years into the new millennium, it appears that Americans have fallen back into the status of citizens living before the War for Independence - people seem apathetic because they have little hope their voice matters, or their vote makes any difference. A sense exists that they are no longer respected, no longer trusted, and no longer viewed as valued members of the society. Yet, the colonists were awakened to their plight when they could comprehend their true value, and they had never tasted freedom before. God was behind this.
It is likely that many Americans today can sense what their ancestors faced each day in relation to their own government’s condescension and disrespect for their rights as British citizens. Yet, the First Great Awakening did much in that time to help colonists realize their own value in relation to God’s Providence. The current awakening of many Americans is beginning for some to perceive their responsibility for ownership of the Republic. Especially, many people of faith realize that the birth of the Land of the Free was not just a physical or political phenomenon. I humbly submit that God worked in the minds and hearts of sincere, faith-filled men and women to lay a righteous foundation to create this nation – He had a Divine Purpose. And, herein lies the missing conception regarding the birth of the Land of the Free and of the need for America’s rebirth.
America was born through Divine Intervention – God working, in those turbulent days, in cooperation with and through the individuals who would submit to His Will and heed the call to help build a better nation centered upon His ideals and His principles. That is why such principals and values are so hard to live up to. The nation’s foundation was only a foundation, not the perfection of such ideals. However, brave and brilliant people gave it their all to do what was needed to build the Land of the Free.
One great testimony to that cooperation with God in helping to build this nation, often overlooked by secular historians, is offered by George Washington. I posted bits of such a testimony in an article titled, “George Washington and his gratitude to God,” in April of 2014. It is in direct opposition to narratives being offered by the secular humanists and those materialistic-historical revisionists providing false intellectual fodder for the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory. There are those who often attempt to rewrite history “in their own image,” with their agenda-driven views, but truth is truth. Some excerpts from that article provide Washington’s witness:
“On April 30, 1789, George Washington, dressed in a plain brown broadcloth suit, stood on the second balcony of Federal Hall in New York City before approximately 10,000 spectators, and swore the oath of office to affirm his determination to fulfill the duties of the new President of the United States…
Nevertheless, despite the extensive preparations and detailed planning for the ceremony, as the presidential parade carrying Mr. Washington by horse-drawn carriage approached Federal Hall, someone realized that no one had secured a Holy Bible, which was required by law, for the actual swearing-in part of the ceremony. It is reported that the parade marshal, Jacob Morton, rushed off and brought back a King James Bible that was laid upon a crimson velvet cushion held by Samuel Otis, Secretary of the Senate. Robert Livingston, who had been one of the original committee of five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, had been chosen to administer the oath because he was the highest ranking judicial official in New York.
As several other distinguished officials… appeared on the balcony with Washington, they directly witnessed the ceremony. The King James Bible was opened, and Washington placed his left hand upon it, raised his right hand, and repeated the words of the oath of office, which he had helped to write. It is also reported that after the official oath, Washington said “so help me God,” and bent down and kissed the open Bible… like many of the generation of founders, George Washington firmly believed in a divine entity that they recognized for assistance in helping to establish the miraculous experiment that became known as the United States of America.
In reality, Washington’s inaugural address that he delivered right after reciting the oath was quite an expression of faith… his words included his personal gratitude to God…
…it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes: and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success, the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either. No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.
Unfortunately, the nation has changed since the days of Washington and many of the founding generation, and as Americans lost touch with their heritage… Washington and the Framers of the Constitution had faith in an “Almighty Being” and did not want to limit worship. In ending his inaugural address Washington concluded with these words:
I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign parent of the human race, in humble supplication that since He has been pleased to favour the American people, with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of Government, for the security of their Union, and the advancement of their happiness; so His divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.
Washington, like… other Framers of the Constitution had faith in an “Almighty Being” and did not want to limit worship of the Almighty, or God, nor to limit the freedom of others of faith in pursuit of religious practices. These men had their own relationship with God, felt it was a personal issue, and not an issue the government had any right to restrict. Yet, self-serving prophets of atheism have seized the initiative and manipulated contemporary perception of what the Framers intended. This is an outrageous injustice, and anyone in the U.S. government who has permitted this to continue should be suspect in what their true motivation is in serving the people. In addition, religious factions should cease fighting amongst themselves, and start fighting the loss of religious values or the loss of religious liberty.”
In Washington’s Farewell Address, in September of 1796, he expressed the view that religion and morality were dual pillars of support for political stability and success and “props of the duties of men and citizens.” But of the two, he cautioned that based upon reason and experience, the nation’s morality could not survive without adherence to religious principle. Washington witnessed directly Divine Intervention – God working in in cooperation with him and through other individuals who submitted to His Will and who heeded the call to help build a nation centered upon His ideals and His principles.
The essential question is whether enough Americans can reconnect to their heritage to restore the Republic, meaning to use their God-given discernment to make intelligent decisions and wise choices in choices of leadership. Will citizens “acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men” once again? If God helped once; He is willing to help re-create this nation. But, are we willing to make the investment of sweat, tears and blood?
Onward and Upward!
