Reasons/Reminders You Might Want CIC©
- We The People are pissed off and fed up
- Firepower and f-bombs (faith, flag, family, fellowship, freedom)
- Freedom is not free, and is a God-gifted right for every individual that depends on responsibility by each person, with its costs to defend it
- Protect and preserve what so many have fought, sacrificed, suffered and died for
- Prepare and position yourself upright (taking up arms in His Spirit and putting on the full armor of God) and unite, standing shoulder-to-shoulder sharing the burden and supporting each other (BALIKATAN - in the language of the Filipinos), with other like-minded individuals
- Freedom requires truth and righteousness - they are the means whereby the people cannot be manipulated or defeated, and by which the people are able to neutralize threats and keep the enemy from gaining a foothold
- Build up America's health and immunity against tyranny, injustice and collapse from within through sovereignty, patriotism, morality and her spiritual life
- Yes, Reagan, Trump, Washington and Lincoln were flawed and far from perfect, but they took up the mantle and acknowledged/allowed themselves to be led by God's Spirit, the backbone of morality and integrity and the source of all power and prosperity, knowing that America with God's grace could only succeed and flourish if she was modeled after His standards, patterning the Constitution and our governments after biblical principles and precepts. It was then by their grit that led America on a path toward the realization of her fullest potential and served her people first, the rightful masters, that engaged in their best interest; that they became models of faithfulness of duty and resilience in the crucible of adversity that dug their heels in, stuck to their proverbial guns and settled it against the machinations and dangers of evil; protected our heritage and preserved our union allowing them to continue to fulfill their roles for generations to come; fostered attributes that make America a powerful and mighty nation and engendered the pursuit of excellence; upheld righteousness in the sight of God for Americans and established America to be a beacon for humanity around the world. Yes, American history has its checkered past - tainted by contradictions and questionable acts, leadership backsliding heedlessly repeating mistakes and misdeeds that fell short of the rectitude and did not pursue the ideals they propagated, the structuring of corporate monopolies/centralizing and weaponization of systems/instruments and the sellout of America by our own government, a superpower status by whose influence and impact has been viewed by some abroad as an unwelcoming one, and littered with complexities and nuances that without sagacity falls prey to blind and foolish understanding - consequently eroding America's credibility and reputation while leaving her people critical and in doubt and to the devices of shaming and social justice zealotry...
- ...but it is precisely in our imperfections and weaknesses that God's strength is perfected wherein God demonstrates the might of His power, the awesomeness of His goodness, and the greatness of His wisdom. It is a strength America, our representatives and her people need, though it comes first by our choice and cooperation with Him, surrendering with full trust and reliance in Him, thereby providing us a way for God to correct the courses of erroneous action and to work out the evil for good (although the enemy intends for us to go through suffering and destruction, God uses it as fulfillment towards our higher calling/processing and a part of a much larger context/plan). It is by that very same strength that Jesus Christ: 1) defeated the enemy, satan, and every adversary on the cross by breaking the shackles to free us from all fear and the yoke of slavery; 2) conquered death first by defiling Himself/taking on all our sins despite His sinless life then by dying in the flesh of this world to pay in full the wages of sin that we will not perish but have eternal life through Him; 3) removed our stains, sickness and brokenness by transforming us washed, healed and whole; 4) resurrected from the dead on the third day to give you a new beginning and a new life; 5) redeemed us from the curse by qualifying us with His merit and righteousness, justifying us by His grace and mercy, and completing in us our sanctification and faith; 6) took His seat in the place of power at God's right hand; and 7) restored for us: A) intimacy (access to God and communion with the Father); B) our identity in Christ (that we are neither victims but victors, nor will we be controlled and oppressed but to take charge by guarding and defending. Moreover, that our differences and distinctions were meant for a much greater mission, to bless and build each other up with our diversity of gifts (talents, treasures, time), not meant to be used for the plan and purposes of divisiveness and divide among us); and C) influence (that the position of authority and dominion was reclaimed from the enemy after the fall and given back to man to subdue and rule over the darkness and its evil forces as its rightful master on God's behalf). Beloved, God gave us the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and to trample over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm us; no weapon formed against us shall prosper. God gives us might and ability to come against all wickedness. God will make us the head and not the tail, and we will be above and not beneath. Blessed shall you be coming in and blessed shall you be going out. It is God that is the one who goes before us to fight for us against our enemies to give us victory. He made you more than a winner; more than a conqueror through Him who loves and cherishes you; to move mountains; that the enemies are to be made a footstool under your feet with your spiritual weapons; who can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Faith, that does not yield to the pressures of difficulties, is the victory for you will reap, if you faint not. So let us stack the odds in our favor and render our capabilities to exceed our limitations by operating in God's power, in Jesus Christ's victory, and in our deliverance. We were made in His image and in His likeness; we are ambassadors who represent the Kingdom of God and the wealth of our inheritance in Jesus Christ; we are not subject to the enemy and he has neither jurisdiction nor legal rights over us. For He that is in you is greater than he that is in this world - the author and perfector, our chain-breaker and way-maker, making you a record-breaker and history-maker. The earth is groaning waiting for the children of God to manifest.
- God is raising up His army, looking for a generation who will rise up and reign over. Now is no longer the time to be shy but with one voice to shout, loud and proud, with praise and worship in thanksgiving and gratitude; it is how we hulk up in power and peace, getting bigger and bolder the more we brag on God and boast of His Son, against the numerous goliaths we are facing in these turbulent and critical times. Though we are crushed in the flesh, we are to keep pushing in our spirit. Though they come at us with spears and swords, we charge at them with the name of the true and living God, on our lips and tongues, bolstering that strength as we recount the victories we have had in our personal lives as testimonies and recall the triumphs, solidarity and extraordinary efforts that were shared together in America's past wars and in the aftermath of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina; and it will be the unity of the body as one spirit that will weather future shakes and storms to come. Jesus Christ, our King, Lord and Savior, won the ultimate war for us, but it is up to us for the daily battles must be fought. We are given the promised land, but it is up to us to sharpen and show up, to go in and claim it. Stay rooted in the firm foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ and in the fierce sovereignty that comes with our demonstration and walk in faith with Him and in the fruits of His Spirit that are produced. We must turn away from our transgressions with sincere repentance and prayer and towards God with remembrance and praise; of whom we should seek for guidance and counsel in order to take better action and to desire what is right and just and to ask for His presence and provisions that we may be sustained; we ought to humble ourselves and invoke His mercy; and we need to obey and look to His commandments as a hedge of protection/preservation (that keeps us safe from risk and dangers and out of the bounds of the enemy's playground and strongholds, for our well-being and our long-term good, to keep us sure-footed and to maintain the order within our own lives, how we remain in Him and He in us, and by which the forces of liberty and justice for all are unleashed). It is our obedience that opens doors to opportunities, blessings and miracles. Renewed in the mind of Jesus Christ and reformed in conduct and character, only then can we truly try to take it back, our country and culture, to the honor and glory of God, in revival starting with our communities, that we may heal our land and restore America beginning within our hearts and homes. But know that all these patriotic and Christian mantras don't mean squat and won't save us if our actions are not based in the blood of Jesus Christ and a recurrent relationship with Him that is found at the foot of His cross always seeking His face through God's Word and the power of the Holy Ghost to renew our minds and transform our hearts that our wills line up with His and our ways be changed in accordance.
- It is the embodiment of the American spirit held by many, that despite our hardscrabble existences and then further exploited by the evil fabrications of the elite/establishment, possesses great power capable of energizing and galvanizing Americans to unity while increasing national vigor by setting aside our differences, constructively moving forward beyond our disagreements and personal "denominations/doctrines", and overcoming divisions against the shared enemy who takes on unique faces and cunning forms to attack America's people while undermining our system of principles and core values, the American creed, and our way of life. The American spirit is what carries America forward to hold ground and overcome crises and challenges when we are unprepared or disadvantaged; to stay the course even when the risks are high, complications become overwhelming or the grind gets too exhausting; that without it America would not have survived in her formative years; and what generates the sparks that ignite fires into blazing new forces of revival setting the stage for many good changes of positive growth. It is what drives Americans to improve themselves and their conditions, to achieve a better life and abundantly provide for their families, to extend themselves selflessly in helping and caring for other fellow Americans and to those in foreign countries in need; and it is what manifests the American Dream proven to be worth keeping alive.
- Let this be a reminder of our commitment to each other and our devotion to God who drew up the people of America from the earth, gathered together from many nations, that America should not be a symbol of iniquity and bondage, but to be a country that aligns with God's Word and agrees with His Will, doing His work and walking in His ways, and to be an example of unyielding resolve, establishing patterns of freedom, prosperity, uprightness, justice and love. Working together we are the last stand, with nowhere to hide and no one for help, against enemies who come to cheat, steal, conquer, kill and destroy.
