Thomas Hayward and 55 other men risked everything they had because they knew the government of King George of England had consistently violated the written law and the "Laws of nature and Nature's God," when the king kept refusing to see that they were free not because he permitted them to be, but because God had made men free. They were convinced that they had to have the courage to stand up to the king and say "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."****They wanted to affirm to themselves and to one another that all who would read this document would see that they were not merely making a statement of policy or persuasion, but that they were giving voice to an eternal truth which they cherished more than their lands, wealth,influence, positions, fame, reputations and even their own mortality. They concluded their Declaration by signing this final pledge: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."****Some of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence lost their lives, their families, their fortunes, their friends, and all else.....but none, not one, lost his sacred honor.______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ SO....JUST WHO IS DAVID HAMMOCK?David Hammock was born and educated in a Christian home in the Southern USA.

"A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM." (Isaiah 11:1-10)Through the telescopic insight of prophecy, Isaiah foresees the nature of the Messianic kingdom, which we know as Christ's kingdom, which is no less than his church. In the following verses Isaiah describes the nature of Christ's kingdom and the ultimate goal of Christ’s eternal reign:Isaiah 11:1-11 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him--the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD-- 3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; 4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.There are four qualities that children possess that must lead members of Christ's church today. These qualities will not make us childish but childlike. These qualities that most all children possess can lead us to maturity. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________Isn’t it intriguing that children can lead us to maturity?(1)-Children Lead Us in Humility; (2)-Children Lead Us In A Forgiving Spirit. Nothing displays a child like attitude more than forgiveness. (I Corinthians 14:20) "Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men." (KJV) (3)-A Child Leads In Sincerity. Children lead the world in sincerity. They often are so frank they embarrass their parents. A child is sincere. They tell it like it is without shading the facts. Sincerity leads us not to say one thing and mean another. We can’t hide anything from God; let us not hide anything from one another.(Romans 12:9) "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." (NIV) (4)-A Child Leads In Confiding Trust. CONCLUSION: Children often try to be like their parents. The way they dress, the way they talk. My oldest grandson talks just like his dad. His sister sounds just like her mother. When they answer the phone, I have to figure out to whom I am speaking. Our children imitate us in the way they live. Are you seeking to imitate them in humility, forgiveness, sincerity, and a confiding trust?"Last night my little boy confessed to me Some childish wrong; And kneeling at my knee, He prayed with tears: ‘Dear God make me a man, Like Daddy—wise and strong! I know you can.Then while he slept, I knelt beside his bed, Confessed my sins, And prayed with low bowed head: ‘O God, make me a child, Like my child, here— Pure, guileless, Trusting you with faith sincere."Learn these qualities from your children when they are small. It will make all the difference in the world when they grow up and start imitating you...**REVIVALS FOR AMERICA CAN BE REACHED AT: REVIVALS FOR AMERICA, OFFICE OF THE FOUNDER, PRESIDENT & CEO, DAVID HAMMOCK, 5804 COFFEY STREET, RALEIGH, NC 27604-8661 USA** OFFICE: 919.217.2755 or (Generic) VM: 928.223.4680.
