The Real Truth about 9-11
by Pastor Allen Johnson
Todays Real Truth
Some will say the truth your about to read is just something they refuse to believe, however the facts are clear.
The cowardly attack on the citizens of the United States of America was an attack on us all.
As a country we will never forget the atrocities of that day, the murdering of our citizens our neighbors and our friends.
Let us never forget!
Remembering the events of that day along with the men and women who's life was taken without cause or reason has been ever ingrained in our hearts with slogans like " Have you forgotten" or "Always Remember" and "Never Forget".
As a Citizen who loves this country and a Soldier who has sworn to defend her against all enemies, these slogans are more than just words on screen they are more than just a feeling that has welled up inside because of a basic need to take action, they are in fact part of a greater sense of responsibility as a citizen of a Free Nation under God.
HEALING A NATION
In the immediate aftermath of the attacks our nation began the long road to healing, a road that we are still traveling today.
In our search for answers and methods of recovery not just on the hard surface of our minds and hearts but on the true inward most parts of our very being to our very soul where real healing takes place, a healing that is not temporary but everlasting to everlasting, it's only when we find this type of complete restoration of repair to our hearts and minds that healing can ever be claimed.
The path and method to this healing is Forgiveness, yes you read that correctly I said Forgiveness.
FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN FORGETTING
While it's true we must never forget the day that changed our lives forever, we must however forgive those who changed it if we are to ever truly heal our nation and ourselves.
You may ask, how can a Soldier who has served this country and witnessed first hand the devastation caused by the deliberate actions of evil people, even utter the word Forgiveness concerning them.
The truth is I have considered this myself and have struggled with the very issue I'm declaring here. As a soldier I received orders and carried out those orders to the best of my abilities, as a citizen I have obeyed and up held the laws of this country with the same stride for Honor as I did defending it.
More importantly as a Christian Man who loves and seeks God above all else it's his direction and Will that I trust most. Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments, he also was very clear about the issues of Forgiveness when it comes to others, yes even our enemies
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Matthew 5:44 KJV
We must show Forgiveness inorder to receive Forgiveness which is in of itself healing
"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Matthew 6:14â€-‬15 KJV
FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN FORGETTING, it means remembering what JESUS said and truly healing.
As we reflect on the tragic events of 9/11 let us do so with forgiveness but not forgetfulness and let us always be aware there are enemies who are against the cross however at the same time let us always defend the faith in Jesus Christ through love, compassion and forgiveness.
May God Bless you and May God Bless the United States of America.
