It is the work of God through His Word, the Holy Spirit, prayer, faithful preaching of the Gospel, and obedient disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10 wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus Christ remains the center of every genuine awakening, for He alone is the Savior of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Awake, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.&#8221; \u2014 Ephesians 5:14<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12 wp-block-paragraph\">God&#8217;s invitation remains open to every person and every nation.

Many of its early settlers crossed the Atlantic seeking the freedom to worship God according to the Holy Scriptures, to raise their families in the Christian faith, and to build communities shaped by biblical convictions concerning God, human dignity, justice, personal responsibility, liberty, and moral accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-16 wp-block-paragraph\">The Bible became one of the principal influences upon many early churches, schools, colleges, communities, and institutions. Christian pastors, teachers, missionaries, and believers helped lay moral and spiritual foundations that shaped many aspects of the nation&#8217;s development. Through seasons of revival and spiritual awakening, God raised up faithful evangelists, pastors, theologians, Bible teachers, prayer movements, Bible societies, missionary organizations, and churches that proclaimed the Gospel throughout the United States and to the nations of the world. Countless lives were transformed through faith in Jesus Christ, churches were strengthened, missionaries were commissioned, and the Gospel spread across continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-17 wp-block-paragraph\">The words found on America&#8217;s national motto,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-fs-me-font-family has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-18\">&#8220;In God We Trust,&#8221;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19 wp-block-paragraph\">reflect a biblical truth proclaimed long before the founding of the nation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-20 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.&#8221; \u2014 Psalm 20:7<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-21 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.&#8221; \u2014 Proverbs 3:5\u20136<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-22\">The Holy Scriptures also declare:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-23 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.&#8221; \u2014 Psalm 33:12<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-24 wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the Holy Scriptures consistently teach that no nation can live forever upon the faith of previous generations. God&#8217;s covenant blessings are not inherited automatically. Every generation must personally hear the Gospel, repent, believe in Jesus Christ, and faithfully walk with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-25\">The Lord calls every generation:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-26 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Return to Me,&#8221; declares the Lord Almighty, &#8220;and I will return to you.&#8221; \u2014 Zechariah 1:3<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-27\">Likewise, He promises:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-28 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.&#8221; \u2014 2 Chronicles 7:14<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-29 wp-block-paragraph\">These promises remain as relevant today as when they were first spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-30 wp-block-paragraph\">Neither a nation&#8217;s history, its institutions, its achievements, its wealth, its military strength, its democratic traditions, nor its religious heritage can replace a living relationship with Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-31 wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the United States, like every nation under heaven, stands in continual need of Salvation through Jesus Christ, Revival among God&#8217;s people, and Spiritual Awakening among those who do not yet know Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-32 wp-block-paragraph\">America&#8217;s greatest need is not merely to remember its Christian heritage, but to return wholeheartedly to Jesus Christ through true repentance, to be continually led, guided, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to remain faithful to the Holy Scriptures, and to proclaim the Gospel faithfully to future generations and to the nations until the Lord Jesus Christ returns in glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-light-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-fs-me-font-family has-large-font-size wp-elements-33 is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Read More<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-34 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Time Is Now to Return to the Father in Whom We Trust<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-35 wp-block-paragraph\">America&#8217;s national motto declares:&#8221;In God We Trust.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-36 wp-block-paragraph\">These words are more than a patriotic declaration.

While he was still a long way off, the father saw him, was moved with compassion, ran to embrace him, restored him to his family, and rejoiced over his return (Luke 15:20\u201324).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-45 wp-block-paragraph\">This is the Father&#8217;s heart today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-46 wp-block-paragraph\">He continues to call every person and every nation to Himself through Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-47 wp-block-paragraph\">The time has come to arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-48 wp-block-paragraph\">The time has come to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-49 wp-block-paragraph\">The time has come to return to the Father in whom we trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-50 wp-block-paragraph\">This is the call to leave behind sin, self-reliance, spiritual complacency, and every false confidence, and to return to the Father through Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-51 wp-block-paragraph\">It is the call to receive God&#8217;s salvation, to experience genuine revival through the Holy Spirit, and to witness a spiritual awakening that transforms individuals, families, churches, communities, and nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-52 wp-block-paragraph\">The Father still welcomes all who sincerely return to Him through His Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-53 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-54 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.&#8221; \u2014 Romans 10:13<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-55 wp-block-paragraph\">If you desire to understand the Father&#8217;s invitation to return, His covenant love, His saving grace through Jesus Christ, and His eternal purpose for this generation and those to come, we invite you to read our book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-56 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>We Will Return to the Father in Whom We Trust<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-57 wp-block-paragraph\">This book presents a biblical call to return to the Father through true repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, faithful discipleship, and wholehearted obedience to God&#8217;s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-58 wp-block-paragraph\">May the words of the prodigal son become the prayer of every heart and every nation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-59 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-60 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I will arise and go to my Father.&#8221; \u2014 Luke 15:18<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-61 wp-block-paragraph\">The time is now to return to the Father in whom we trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-62\"><strong>Why Europe Needs Salvation, Revival, and Awakening<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-63\"><strong>A Call to Europe Through Jesus Christ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-64 wp-block-paragraph\">Europe occupies a unique place in the history of the Gospel. Although Christianity was born in the lteand of Israel through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, God&#8217;s redemptive plan was never intended for one nation alone. Jesus Christ came as the Savior of the world, commissioning His disciples to proclaim the Gospel to every nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-65 wp-block-paragraph\">Before ascending into heaven, Jesus declared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-66 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-67 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 Acts 1:8<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-68 wp-block-paragraph\">That commission soon reached Europe through the Apostle Paul. During his second missionary journey, while seeking God&#8217;s direction, Paul received a vision during the night:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-69 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-70 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Come over to Macedonia and help us.&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 Acts 16:9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-71 wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing this as the leading of the Holy Spirit, Paul crossed from Asia into Europe, where the Gospel was first preached in Philippi before spreading to Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, Rome, and many other regions. Men and women believed in Jesus Christ, churches were planted, elders were appointed, disciples were formed, and the Kingdom of God continued to advance throughout Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-72 wp-block-paragraph\">The Holy Spirit continued strengthening these churches through the inspired writings of the Apostle Paul. His letters to the <strong>Romans<\/strong>, <strong>Corinthians<\/strong>, <strong>Ephesians<\/strong>, <strong>Philippians<\/strong>, <strong>Colossians<\/strong>, <strong>Thessalonians<\/strong>, and his pastoral letters to <strong>Timothy<\/strong> and <strong>Titus<\/strong> established believers in the doctrines of salvation, grace, faith, the work of the Holy Spirit, holy living, Christian leadership, discipleship, unity, perseverance, and the hope of the return of Jesus Christ. These writings remain foundational to Christian faith throughout Europe and the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-73 wp-block-paragraph\">The Apostle John further strengthened the Church through the <strong>Gospel of John<\/strong>, <strong>1, 2, and 3 John<\/strong>, and the <strong>Book of Revelation<\/strong>. Through these inspired writings, the Holy Spirit revealed Jesus Christ as the eternal Word made flesh, the Son of God, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, the risen Lord, the Head of His Church, and the coming King who will judge the nations and establish His everlasting Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-74 wp-block-paragraph\">From the apostolic age onward, God continued to use Europe through faithful churches, the preservation and translation of the Holy Scriptures, the Protestant Reformation, theological scholarship, missionary movements, Bible translation societies, Christian education, and worldwide evangelism. From Europe, countless missionaries carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Africa, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, and many other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-75 wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the Holy Scriptures repeatedly remind us that God&#8217;s covenant blessings are not inherited automatically from one generation to another. Every generation must personally hear the Gospel, repent, believe in Jesus Christ, and faithfully walk with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-76 wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the Lord declares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-77 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-78 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Return to Me,&#8221; declares the Lord Almighty, &#8220;and I will return to you,&#8221; says the Lord Almighty.<\/strong> \u2014 Zechariah 1:3<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-79 wp-block-paragraph\">That invitation remains God&#8217;s call to Europe today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-80 wp-block-paragraph\">No nation can rely forever upon its Christian history, theological institutions, religious traditions, or the faith of previous generations.
