Bleeding Kansas – Its Meaning for America Today
Manage episode 318658798 series 3308761
During our recent journeys, while driving through Northeast Kansas near the Missouri border, Dave and I repeatedly passed highway signs that pointed to the site of the Marais des Cygnes Massacre. Although born and raised in Kansas, I don’t remember hearing about that massacre in history class. Finally, when we came to the signs for the eighth time, we decided to turn off the highway and go take a look. As we followed the road signs, the paved road turned onto a gravel road that turned onto a more narrow gravel road that eventually led us to a rugged gravel path in the midst of rocky wooded terrain. Historical signs that told the story guided us to the ravine where the massacre happened.
Standing on that ground, close to the place where innocent blood had been shed,
I heard Father God’s words from Genesis 4:10, “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.” Dave and I prayed, decreed and declared “God’s Kingdom come, God’s will be done.”
This podcasts explores the place of significance that Kansas holds in the history of freedom in America. It also proposes that Kansas holds a significant place in the revival...the awakening of America to its God ordained destiny.
