For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God
Col. 1:9,10
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. We ask that You would provide good jobs for them when they return to civilian life and give them favor with our citizens. Let Your word have free course among them as You pour out Your Spirit on them, teaching them how loving, gracious and awesome You are.
We pray that the Spirit of Truth would rule and reign in our nation. We invite You into our churches to enlighten and convict people. Help each of Your children to fulfill the specific calling You have placed on his life so that we can accomplish Your work and see multitudes making the right choice in the Valley of Decision.
We worship You for You are worthy and thank You for answering our prayers in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints
Praying in agreement, Amen.
“The meek shall inherit the earth.”
How many of us have heard this truth? Who are the truly meek among us?
IMHO, our warriors put aside their own lives to for for us, and our freedom from terror and hostility.
In doing so, they have become our greatest asset. THEY should have input as to their next Commander in Chief. While we squabble over who is the most fit (read: lesser of multiple evils), they are fighting for our true freedom.
LET’S HELP TO LET THEM DECIDE.
I pray that they will come home to lead this country, in love and prosperity, as they have in Iraq.
Amen.
Amen.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration and our heroes standing in harm’s way!
Thanksgiving and Praise be to you, our Shepherd-King. You are our Hope and our Life, and we Love to Reverence Your Name. Be Glorified Forever, Lord, for Giving us Your Beloved Son.
We are So Grateful for Every Blessing from Your Hand. Many would Love to be in our Shoes, Living in the USA. You have Granted us Freedom in this land we Dearly Love. How Great a Gift, our Holy King. Thank You for Pouring Your Grace Upon us. May our America Trust and Rely Upon Jesus Christ.
We Ask, our Father, for Blessings for our President and Troops. We Pray for a Good and Godly Man to Lead us, O God. Please Forbid Hillary the White House, even as You Stymied Kerry and Gore. We Ask, our Savior; Please be Merciful to us Again.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Caring for Your Dear Lambs. In Thy Holy Name, for Thine Excellent Glory, amen.
Amen.
AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“The things which are not seen.”
- 2 Corinthians 4:18
In our Christian pilgrimage it is well, for the most part, to be looking
forward. Forward lies the crown, and onward is the goal. Whether it be for
hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love, the
future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith. Looking
into the future we see sin cast out, the body of sin and death destroyed,
the soul made perfect, and fit to be a partaker of the inheritance of the
saints in light. Looking further yet, the believer’s enlightened eye can
see death’s river passed, the gloomy stream forded, and the hills of light
attained on which standeth the celestial city; he seeth himself enter
within the pearly gates, hailed as more than conqueror, crowned by the
hand of Christ, embraced in the arms of Jesus, glorified with him, and
made to sit together with him on his throne, even as he has overcome and
has sat down with the Father on his throne. The thought of this future may
well relieve the darkness of the past and the gloom of the present. The
joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth. Hush,
hush, my doubts! death is but a narrow stream, and thou shalt soon have
forded it.
Time, how short-eternity, how long! Death, how brief-immortality, how
endless! Methinks I even now eat of Eshcol’s clusters, and sip of the well
which is within the gate.
The road is so, so short! I shall soon be there.
“When the world my heart is rending
With its heaviest storm of care,
My glad thoughts to heaven ascending,
Find a refuge from despair.
Faith’s bright vision shall sustain me
Till life’s pilgrimage is past;
Fears may vex and troubles pain me,
I shall reach my home at last.”
5 SOLAS!

READ: Exodus 18:13-24
Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. —Exodus 18:24
In 1959, when Lee Kuan Yew assumed the position of Prime Minister of Singapore, his leadership began a long process of national transformation. Initially, disagreements between ethnic groups and a weak economic base made the future of this tiny nation uncertain. By 1990, when Lee stepped down from his position, Singapore had become a model country for ethnic harmony and a thriving economy. After serving as Senior Minister, Lee became Minister Mentor in 2004. Since then he has been an invaluable resource to Singapore’s cabinet and to other leaders around the world.
Insights from the older generation can greatly benefit the younger generation. Although Moses had been used by God to perform miracles and deliver Israel out of bondage in Egypt, he still listened to the advice of his father-in-law Jethro (Ex. 18:24). Jethro had watched his son-in-law care for the concerns of the people and observed: “Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you” (v.18). Moses followed Jethro’s advice to select, train, and delegate others to share the workload (vv.22-24).
Whom has God placed in your life to advise you as a “minister mentor”?
Amen. Beautiful prayer; full of faith.
Amen.
Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.”
Thank you all for doing this. It is an honor to fellowship before the throne room with you.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration and our heroes standing in harm’s way!
