But all the wicked He will destroy.
My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD.
Let every creature praise His holy name forever and ever.

Father, we bring before You tonight, our brother in Christ, President Bush, and ask for Your divine protection over him as he does the work with which You have entrusted him. Grant him wisdom and discernment in each decision he must make, and create in him a pure heart. Help him to love others above himself, and to walk aright in fellowship with his Savior, Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help him to abide in You as a branch in the Vine, drawing sustinence and strength from You alone. Keep him safe as he travels throughout the country, and help him to be able to successfully communicate to the people of the United States, that which he seeks to make known. Lord, we are grateful that he continues to mention the importance of loving others in order to be citizens of this great nation, and we ask that the message that he speaks that comes from You and Your word might radiate from within him and reveal the love of Jesus in his heart.
Lord, we pray as well for Laura, and for their marriage, and ask that You would keep it strong and committed, and that they would both be strong and not yield to any temptation which would take them apart from each other, or more importantly from You. Keep them both focused on Your service and on becoming holy as You are holy. Bless and protect Barbara and Jenna, and help them to grow and mature into women of faith.
Father, we are mindful of the need to pray for our troops, and their families. We pray that You would put a blanket of protection over those who are serving in harm's way, and Lord, we pray for swift and sure justice for the evil men who are killing the Iraqi people and our troops. We pray that You would bind Satan, and bring an end to the violence in that land.
And Lord, we pray for this great nation, asking You to forgive us our sins and cleanse us. Lord, we pray for an increasing awareness among the American people for the evil of abortion that we might rise up and put an end to this holocaust. We pray, Lord, that we might be a nation that honors You in everything we do. Bring us back, we pray, to the roots in morality and divine law on which we were founded. Keep Your people faithful in prayer and in giving witness to Your great love for us. And Lord, as we enter this Lenten season where we remember Your great sacrifice for our sins, keep us humble and obedient to whatever You would have us do. Help us to be a sweet fragrance in this world, we pray in the name of Jesus, who sacrifices His life for the remission of our sins, Amen.
Please join us in prayer tonight for our President, our troops, and our nation!
Joining you in prayer tonight, friend, that the Lord will protect and provide His wisdom for our President, his administration and our Congress.
Sending a special prayer to our Lord for the safety and victory of our heroic fighting men and women.
We come to bring You Praise, O God, to Worship our Mighty One, and Lift High Your Name. You are our very Life, Great King, our Haven of Rest in a world of Pain. All Your Promises are True, Dear Master; You are our Salvation, our Strength, and our Joy in the Midst of Trials. We Love You, King Jesus! Receive our Worship from our Grateful hearts! We Pray for Great Blessings to be Granted to our President, Earnestly Desiring Your Best Gifts for Your cherished child. Please Generate in Your servant every Fruit of Thy Holy Spirit, that the Character of our Christ will Shine Forth in him, to Thy Praise. Bless his Marriage with our dear Laura, O God, that the Watching World may behold a Representation of Christ and His Bride. May Ephesians Five, Verses 21 through 33 be Fulfilled in this dear Couple, bringing Glory, Honor, and Praise to our Heavenly Bridegroom, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We Remember our Courageous Military in Prayer, Seeking their Constant Protection, and Empowerment from the Warrior of Heaven. Oh, Good King, be with them, even as in the Days of Old, when You Lead beloved Israel to Great Victories in Your Holy Name! We Plead also for the Complete Destruction of Al Quaida, O Mighty Master, and for the Soon-Capture or Termination of Bin Laden and Zarqawi. Great are You, our Father Jehovah, and Blessed is the Name of Lord Jesus, Your Son!
We Interceed, O Loving and Faithful God, for every saint who has a Need, and for every soul coming Here to Pray. We Ask that Your Strong Arms will Hold On Tight to that Hurting child, Your Whispers of Love Encouraging and Healing any Wounded hearts. Strengthen those who are Swallowed Up with Grief, Imparting to them Your Presence, and Your Comforting Spirit of Grace. May the Knowledge of our Prayers and our Love for them Lift them Far Above their Pain, and may Christ be Exalted as the God Who Answers our Prayers.
Be Glorified, Sovereign Master, in the Lives of Your precious children, and be Adored, Your Majesty, throughout the Endless Ages to Come. We Pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Caring Savior, amen.
Joining you in prayer tonight for President Bush, his family, our country and our military.
AMEN OHIO,ALL AND MY FAVORITE SISTERS!
GRACE,BLESSINGS AND INFINITE MERCY TO ALL BRETHREN!
PRAYERS UP!
CHAPTER XI.
Of Justification.
I. Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth: not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alons; not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them, they receiving and resting on him and his righteousness by faith; which faith they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God.
II. Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification; yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.
III. Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction o his Father's justice in their behalf. Yet inasmuch as he was given by the Father for them, and his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for any thing in them, their justification is only of free grace, that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.
IV. God did, from all eternity, decree to justify the elect; and Christ did, in the fullness of time, die for their sins and rise again for their justification; nevertheless they are not justified until the Holy Spirit doth, in due time, actually apply Christ unto them.
V. God doth continue to forgive the sins of those that are justified; and although they can never fall from the state of justification, yet they may by their sins fall under God's Fatherly displeasure, and not have the light of his countenance restored unto them, until they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.
VI. The justification of believers under the Old Testament was, in all these respect, one and the same with the justification of believers under the New Testament.
CHAPTER XII.
Of Adoption.
All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption: by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God; have his name put upon them; receive the Spirit of adoption; have access to the throne of grace with boldness; are enabled to cry, Abba, Father; are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by his as by a father; yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption, and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation.
THE WESTMINSTER CONFESSION!
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is God's gift.
9 It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it;
10 for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.
(MNT)
Zec 13:9 I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, 'This is My people'; And each one will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"
(NKJV)
Ps 4:1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O you sons of men, Will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness And seek falsehood? Selah
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.
4 Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD.
6 There are many who say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
(NKJV)

Thank you, bella. The President needs our constant prayer!
As we pray for wisdom for our President, once again we pray that Israel would have favor in his eyes. Show him the importance of not dividing that land and for honoring God's chosen and selected land. We also pray that there would be agreement and favor for those sentiments in the rest of our ruling government. Lord, we want Your blessings and pray in accordance with Your will.
As You heal those who come here to pray, empower them to go out with the comfort You've given them and bring healing to those around them.
We bless You because You are King and Lord of All. Amen.
Amen! We Agree together in this, Great King, that the Blessings Your children Receive will be Shared with others in Need. How Kind You are, our Blessed Savior, and how Loving to those who are in Pain. We Exalt You for Your Goodness and Your Love, Thanking You in the Name of Your Son, amen.
