Happy July 4th! Drawing Strength from Our Founding Fathers and Biblical Heroes
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we celebrate the birth of our great nation this July 4th, we extend our heartfelt greetings and best wishes to you all. This day is a powerful reminder of the freedom, courage, and unwavering determination that define the American spirit. It is also an opportune moment to reflect on our spiritual journey and the battles we face in these last days.
Our Founding Fathers displayed remarkable courage and faith as they forged a new nation grounded in Christian principles. Their unwavering belief in God's providence and their commitment to righteous principles serve as an enduring example for us today. Just as they stood firm against formidable challenges, we too must be battle-ready in our spiritual lives, prepared to face the trials that come our way.
The Bible is replete with stories of individuals who demonstrated extraordinary faith and resilience. Consider David, who faced the giant Goliath with nothing but a sling and unwavering trust in God. His victory was not due to his own strength, but because he relied on the Lord. Similarly, we are called to face our giants, armed with the Word of God and faith in His promises.
Another powerful example is Esther, who bravely approached the king to save her people, declaring, "If I perish, I perish." Her story reminds us of the importance of courage and the willingness to stand up for what is right, even in the face of great danger.
In these last days, we are called to be spiritually prepared, equipped with the full armor of God. Ephesians 6:10-18 exhorts us to put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. By doing so, we can stand firm against the schemes of the enemy and remain steadfast in our faith.
Col. David Giammona and I have co-authored three impactful books designed to prepare the church and Christians to be spiritually ready: The Military Guide to Armageddon, The Military Guide to Disarming Deception, and our latest book, Your Mission in God’s Army. These works provide invaluable insights and strategies for equipping believers to stand strong in faith and face spiritual battles with confidence.
As we celebrate this Independence Day, let us also commit to being battle-ready in our spiritual lives. Let us draw strength from the examples of our founding fathers and biblical heroes, and encourage one another to remain vigilant and steadfast in our faith.
Together, we can equip the church and our brothers and sisters to be ready for the spiritual battles that lie ahead. Let us stand united, with unwavering faith and trust in the Lord, ready to face whatever challenges come our way.
Wishing you a joyful and spiritually enriching July 4th!
In Christ,
Troy Anderson

Note: the phrase "If I perish, I perish" is attributed to Queen Esther in the Bible. It is found in Esther 4:16 (NIV):
"Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."
