I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
Father God, as we read this letter by Paul and his affection for his partners, we who have our military men and women in our hearts identify with Paul. We are so grateful that knowing You and Your faithfulness to answer prayers according to Your will, we say with Paul, “We are confident of this very thing—that You who have begun a good work in them will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”. It is right for us to think this of them because we have them in our heart and we know, by faith, that they are partakers with us of grace. We forever thank You for Your amazing grace, Sir. Yours is that amazing grace that will pursue and save each one, watching over and protecting them from the hands of the enemy.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we take authority over the spirit of homosexuality which is attempting to grow among our military and our Nation. You foul spirit, we bind You and loose you from your assignment against us. You must yield to the Name that is above all other names.
Holy are You, our God and worthy of praise. Thank You for giving us that name in which to pray and do Kingdom business—Jesus, the Christ. Amen.
Thank you for joining me in prayer today.
Praying with you for Our American Heroes and For Our Nation, Hiskid!

Amen, Hiskid
Lifting up our heroes in this spiritual battle for the soul of our nation. Praying for a revival in America.

The Amplified Bible translates as: Eph 3:20-21
20 - Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, over and above all that we [dare] ask or thing [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] -
21 - Now to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. Amen [So be it].
I love this version because it is translated from the Greek language which is very flowery and amplified.
It’s also very special because it exploded inside my heart while I was learning to memorize it in Bible School.
YES!! The Amplified is my Bible of choice as well. Many people are “offended” by it, so we rarely use it on these threads. However, like you, it makes the scriptures come alive in understanding for me.
Thank you for joining us today. It’s always a treat.
Thank you again, MEG33, for your moving posts. The simplicity of words reach down into our hearts’ desires and explode in agreement with you.
Thank you for your faithfulness, NEWwoman. I agree with you for revival for America.
Amen.
(((((Blessings to Everyone!)))))
Amen.
Praying with you for our Heroes.
Blessings, etabeta
I join in prayer for our heroes and nation!
There are a couple scriptures in the King James that I just love, and I actually don’t like the Amplified translation. It’s weird.
Glad to know you understand my heart.
...AMEN!...Praying for our beloved heroes, our nation, for a SPIRIT of cleansing and renewal, restoring us to the roots of our FAITH in GRACE and MERCY through FAITH and LOVE, with HOPE ETERNAL.
