The sacred fire of liberty: the stakes of America’s “experiment”
Washington: "the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people”
Friday, November 15, 2024
Kingdom Friend,
Thank you for agreeing in prayer! We pray for the preservation of the American “experiment”.

The sacred fire of liberty—the stakes of America’s “experiment”
George Washington’s first inaugural address, delivered on April 30, 1789, was concise—lasting just around 10 minutes—but every word carried weight. It set the tone for a brand new nation and reflected Washington’s deep sense of purpose and responsibility.
“Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.”
He spoke of the "preservation of the sacred fire of liberty" and the destiny of the new nation as staked "on the EXPERIMENT entrusted to the hands of the AMERICAN PEOPLE.”
Why was the birthing of the nation viewed as an “experiment” by Washington? Because nothing like it had been tried before in world history.
Pray AmericanDNA—Protect the American “experiment”
We can draw on America's founding prayers, covenants, documents, and early experiences as "prayer architecture" for today. Adapt the prayer language below to your Prayer Voice.
Father, we agree and stand with the words of George Washington. We pray that the “ETERNAL RULES OF ORDER AND RIGHT, which heaven itself has ordained” will be progressively revealed to the American people.
HOLY SPIRIT, BRING CONVICTION of “sin and righteousness and judgment” (Jesus in John 16.8 ESV) in the American people. Preserve the “sacred fires of liberty” and the American experiment.
Let’s CONTEND FOR A SOCIETAL RESET. Our nation has been moving swiftly toward a progressive agenda, edging closer to Marxist ideals. Many Americans now see the dangers. Father, we intercede for a PIVOT TO TRADITIONAL, SCRIPTURAL VALUES and a government grounded in TRUE JUSTICE.
Lord, we thank You for the PRAYERS YOU’VE ANSWERED AND THOSE STILL IN MOTION through this election—local, state, and federal. We ask for Your protection and PEACEFUL TRANSITIONS OF POWER locally, at state levels, and in Washington, D.C.
