As America celebrates 250 years of independence, Intercessors for America President David Kubal challenged believers to see themselves not merely as observers of history, but as participants in it. During July\u2019s First Friday webcast, he urged Christians to recognize that God has consistently worked through ordinary people who choose faithfulness in extraordinary moments.\n<\/p>\n
Rather than viewing history as a collection of famous names and distant events, Kubal argued that history is written every day by people who answer God\u2019s call. Whether through prayer, public service, raising families in biblical truth, or engaging their communities, today\u2019s believers have an opportunity to shape the future just as previous generations did.<\/p>\n
Drawing from Genesis 26, Kubal centered his message on Isaac, who inherited the covenant God first established with Abraham. Isaac did not have to create a new promise or forge a new path. Instead, he was called to walk faithfully in the covenant that had already been established.\n<\/p>\n
Kubal explained that God\u2019s first instruction to Isaac was essentially to remember. The covenant remained in effect because of Abraham\u2019s obedience, and Isaac\u2019s responsibility was to embrace that inheritance rather than abandon it.\n<\/p>\n
\n
That principle, Kubal said, applies to America as well. Throughout Scripture, God establishes covenants that endure across generations, and each generation must choose whether it will remember and walk in those promises.\n<\/p>\n
Isaac\u2019s next step was simple obedience. He sowed where God placed him, and Scripture records that the Lord blessed him abundantly. Kubal noted that God\u2019s blessing was not merely about personal prosperity but about expanding influence and establishing God\u2019s purposes within the land.\n<\/p>\n
When believers remember God\u2019s faithfulness and respond with obedience, he said, they position themselves to see God\u2019s blessing extend beyond their own lives and into future generations.\n<\/p>\n
But obedience does not eliminate opposition.\n<\/p>\n
Kubal pointed to the Philistines filling in the wells Abraham\u2019s servants had dug, an attempt to erase the legacy and blessing that had been established before Isaac\u2019s time. Rather than searching for new wells, Isaac returned to the old ones, reopening what had already proven faithful.\n<\/p>\n
Those wells represent the enduring covenants and biblical foundations that God has established. Rather than inventing something new, believers today are called to recover and reactivate the spiritual foundations that have sustained previous generations.\n<\/p>\n
The message then shifted from biblical history to America\u2019s own story.\n<\/p>\n
Kubal argued that America\u2019s spiritual heritage did not begin with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, but stretches back centuries earlier through explorers, settlers, pastors, and founders who publicly dedicated the land to God. He highlighted events such as Sir Francis Drake\u2019s 1579 prayer on the West Coast, Rev. Robert Hunt\u2019s dedication at Jamestown in 1607, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin\u2019s appeal for prayer during the Constitutional Convention, and George Washington\u2019s inaugural address.\n<\/p>\n
Together, Kubal said, these moments demonstrate a consistent pattern of leaders acknowledging God\u2019s providence and seeking His blessing upon the nation.\n<\/p>\n
Rather than viewing these historical events as relics of the past, Kubal encouraged believers to reclaim them in the present. America\u2019s references to God\u2014in the Pledge of Allegiance, the national motto, public prayers, Thanksgiving observances, and other longstanding traditions\u2014serve as reminders that generations before us publicly recognized God\u2019s sovereignty over the nation.\n<\/p>\n
While Christians cannot rely solely on the faithfulness of previous generations, Kubal emphasized that they can choose to renew that commitment in their own time.\n<\/p>\n
That conviction has become the heart behind IFA\u2019s Rededicate America event. As believers gathered in Washington, D.C., during the nation\u2019s semiquincentennial celebration, Kubal encouraged participants to once again dedicate themselves\u2014and the nation\u2014to God\u2019s purposes.\n<\/p>\n
He also highlighted Speaker Mike Johnson\u2019s recent national prayer of rededication, offered during the Rededicate America event in May. Kubal described the prayer as another example of leaders publicly acknowledging God\u2019s hand in America\u2019s history and asking for His continued guidance in the years ahead.\n<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Kubal returned to the challenge with which he began.\n<\/p>\n
Future generations, he said, will one day ask what Christians did when America stood at a crossroads. The answer will not depend on whether believers held prominent positions or achieved worldly recognition. Instead, history will remember those who faithfully prayed, obeyed God, stood for truth, and answered His call during their own generation.\n<\/p>\n
For Kubal, becoming a \u201chistory maker\u201d begins with a simple decision: to remember God\u2019s faithfulness, reclaim His promises, and live obediently wherever He has placed us today.\n<\/p>\n
