“A NATION INHERITED – A NATION TO REVIVE – A NATION TO PASS ON”
ACTS 17:22-28

INTRO: For those of us who live in America, we HONESTLY MUST SAY that we have INHERITED A GREAT NATION. 
In the history of the world there has never been a nation like the U.S.A. and that is because GOD IN ETERNITY 
PAST, DETERMINED WHO HE WOULD RAISE UP TO “DISCOVER” THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, TO EXPLORE THE 
TWO GREAT CONTINENTS OF THE HEMISPHERE, AND TO FOUND THE NATIONS ON THE TWO GREAT CONTINENTS 
OF THE HEMISPHERE. (23 ON NORTH AMERICA AND 14 ON SOUTH AMERICA). Regarding the U.S.A., God RAISED 
UP those seeking for RELIGIOUS FREEDOM to come to these shores as early as the 1500’s followed by the 
PURITANS, THE PILGRIMS, and others, who, ever since, were and are looking for the FREEDOM AMERICA HAS TO 
OFFER. In 1776 God raised up 56 MEN to sign the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, who, UNDER GOD, laid the 
foundation for the GREATEST NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. America quickly rose up BY GOD’S GRACE. 
BUT within 100 years of her founding, through DARWINIAN SECULARISM, THE WEAKENING OF THE PULPIT, THE 
COMPROMISE OF THE CHURCH, AND THE WORLDLINESS OF THE CHRISTIAN, she began to turn away from God 
WHO BROUGHT HER INTO EXISTENCE. We have INHERITED A GREAT NATION, but NOW, FOR SUCH A TIME AS 
THIS, GOD HAS PLACED YOU AND ME ON THIS CONTINENT AND IN THIS NATION TO REVIVE AMERICA AND TO 
PASS IT ON TO THE GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW UNTIL CHRIST RETURNS.
