Rick Rene hears God's promises to America in alone time with God — Blessed2Teach

“I Have Not Forgotten the Promises I Made to Your Forefathers” — What I Heard in My Alone Time with God

God’s promises to America are still standing — that is what I heard the Lord say this Fourth of July, July 4, 2026, during my alone time with God, and I want to share it with you. This wasn’t a vague encouragement; it was a specific word about the covenant dedication made at this nation’s founding 250 years ago, about what was rededicated just 50 days before, and about the kind of light America is still being called to be — not through wealth, but through faith and fairness.

There was real hope in that word, and I felt it deeply on a day when it’s easy to get caught up in the celebration and miss what the Lord might actually be saying. I want to encourage you to sit with what He shared about His people who are called by His name — and what He says He will do through those who seek His face. If you’ve been wanting to grow in hearing from God yourself, I’d point you to the about page at Blessed2Teach to get more context on this ministry and what we’re here to do.

But I also have to be honest — there was a sober warning in this word. The Lord spoke plainly about those whose cup of iniquity is filling up, and He spoke just as directly to His own children who have grown distracted and haven’t made room for Him. He said His mercies are new every morning, but His patience is about to end with many who refuse to draw close. That’s not something I can soften, and I wouldn’t want to. He wants more than a people He gives refuge to — He wants a people He can actually move through.

The full word is posted in the Words from the Lord Circle at FaithNFreedom — every word of it, exactly as He gave it. I’d love for you to read it, share it, and tell me in the comments what it’s stirring in you.

What did God say about His promises to America in the July 4, 2026 word?

He declared that America’s purpose as a light to the world is rooted in faith and fairness, not wealth, and that He will honor those among His people who have dedicated the country back to Him.

What does this word from the Lord say about the difference between refuge and being used by God?
One of the most pointed portions of the July 4 word draws a distinction between those who receive refuge from God and those through whom His hand actively moves. The Lord states that drawing closer results in greater authority over all the power of the enemy, and that great and mighty things will flow through those who repent, die to self, seek His kingdom first, and renew their minds in His word with genuine urgency.
What warning does the Lord give in this Independence Day word?
The Lord warns both those in outright rebellion and His own distracted children. For those who attack His people and speak against Him, He says the cup of iniquity will become full and His justice will fall on those who refuse to repent — the call is to repent now, as time is short. For believers who have drifted, He says His patience is about to end with those who refuse to draw close, urging them to cleanse their hands and purify their hearts before it is too late.
