Speaker Johnson Says Freedom Comes From God

The Speaker of the House just told America where its freedom actually comes from.
House Speaker Mike Johnson stood inside Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol this morning, addressing religious leaders gathered for the 75th National Day of Prayer, and made one of the boldest public statements of his tenure. Johnson declared that the rights Americans hold most sacred do not originate with any government office, court ruling, or political party. They come from God Himself.
The moment is significant because it reaches back to the founding logic of the country itself. The Declaration of Independence rests on the claim that human beings are endowed by their Creator with rights no government can grant or revoke. Johnson reminded the room that this is not religious decoration. It is the foundation the entire American experiment was built on.
Johnson framed prayer as the place where the impossible happens, calling the United States a praying nation and pointing to the paintings and statues throughout the Capitol as reminders of the country’s deep religious heritage. His remarks set the stage for Rededicate 250, the national gathering scheduled for May 17 on the National Mall, where thousands will publicly rededicate America as One Nation Under God. Speaker Johnson has personally invited hundreds of faith leaders to attend.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” — Psalm 24:1
If rights come from a king, a king can take them away. If they come from a parliament, a parliament can erase them. But if they come from God, no man on earth has the authority to revoke what heaven has granted. That is the line every free people must remember.
What does it mean for the future of this country when its Speaker publicly points the nation back to its Creator? #america #prayer #god
