Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration and our heroes standing in harm’s way.
Joining your prayer.
In His glorious name, Amen!
Joining you in prayer.....
LORD, raise up a witness;
A multitude of witnesses.
Adversity will strengthen us.
We will testify of your Name and its Power and Glory and Truth.
Though the lamp be taken from this country, yet will your light shine from your church; from your witnesses.
Let us wash our garments in the blood of the Lamb.
Rev 7:14 ....and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!

“Nevertheless I am continually with thee.”
- Psalm 73:23
“Nevertheless,”-As if, notwithstanding all the foolishness and ignorance
which David had just been confessing to God, not one atom the less was it
true and certain that David was saved and accepted, and that the blessing
of being constantly in God’s presence was undoubtedly his. Fully conscious
of his own lost estate, and of the deceitfulness and vileness of his
nature, yet, by a glorious outburst of faith, he sings “nevertheless I am
continually with thee.” Believer, you are forced to enter into Asaph’s
confession and acknowledgment, endeavour in like spirit to say
“nevertheless, since I belong to Christ I am continually with God!” By
this is meant continually upon his mind, he is always thinking of me for
my good. Continually before his eye;-the eye of the Lord never sleepeth,
but is perpetually watching over my welfare. Continually in his hand, so
that none shall be able to pluck me thence. Continually on his heart, worn
there as a memorial, even as the high priest bore the names of the twelve
tribes upon his heart for ever. Thou always thinkest of me, O God. The
bowels of thy love continually yearn towards me. Thou art always making
providence work for my good. Thou hast set me as a signet upon thine arm;
thy love is strong as death, many waters cannot quench it; neither can the
floods drown it. Surprising grace! Thou seest me in Christ, and though in
myself abhorred, thou beholdest me as wearing Christ’s garments, and
washed in his blood, and thus I stand accepted in thy presence. I am thus
continually in thy favour-”continually with thee.” Here is comfort for the
tried and afflicted soul; vexed with the tempest within-look at the calm
without.
“Nevertheless”-O say it in thy heart, and take the peace it gives.
“Nevertheless I am continually with thee.
