The Words of the Flynn Family |
Dear brothers and sisters - Best wishes to you and your family on this 4th of July -- Independence Day -- 2008! Here in Washington DC, preparations for the Global Peace Festival are in full swing. As we prepare for this significant event at our nation's Capitol, we are reminded of a number of historic speeches on the National Mall, including one that many of us remember from September 18, 1976. Here is an excerpt from Father's speech at the Washington Monument rally, entitled "America and God's Will":
The United States of America, transcending race and nationality, is already a model of the unified world. She must realize that the abundant blessings which God has been pouring upon this land are not just for America, but are for the children of God throughout the world. Upon the foundation of world Christianity, America must exercise her responsibility as a world leader and the chosen nation of God...
Ladies and gentlemen, at this crossroads of human history, we must listen to the calling of God. God prepared America for 200 years. This is the time for awakening. America must accept her global responsibility. Armed with Godism, she must free the Communist world, and at last, build the Kingdom of God here on earth. God has chosen America as the flag bearer. America must rise up. Today. Tomorrow may be too late.
I not only respect America but truly love this nation. I respect and love her as a great nation, as a godly nation, and as the central nation in God's Providence. She is now at the threshold of her third century. She must not disappoint God. Today let us pledge to God Almighty that we shall do His will. We shall never let Him down. Never!
Today in this holy place, let us together lay the cornerstone of the Kingdom of God on earth. Let us all join together as the co- workers of God. Let is be the pioneers of His Kingdom.
My dear brethren who long for unity, this is the place of commitment, the moment of decision. If you are willing to give your sweat, your blood, and your very lives to the call of God, then in this sacred moment before heaven and earth and before all mankind, let us shout it out. We know we can build the Kingdom of God here on earth, in His power, and with our own hands.
May God bless you and your homes, and forever more, God bless America. We will be sending regular updates and much more information on the Global Peace Festival in the coming days. God bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Jim Flynn
