Can God Bless a Country..........

Can God bless a country whose leaders require abortion on demand? Can God bless a country who leaders demand God to be taken out of the public square and twist the meaning of “Separation of Church and State”? Can God bless a country that abandons a moral foundation and calls it “Free Speech” or “Art” in the form of internet pornography? Can God bless a country that embraces same sex marriage, when the Bible speaks against it? Can God bless a country where if you speak against Homosexuality, it is considered hate speech? Can God bless America whose leadership takes the hard work, and effort of their citizens (in the form of overreaching taxes), to fund an immoral beaurocracy?

     It is very clear by the Word of God, the Lord cannot look upon sin, and bless it as if it were righteousness. Isaiah 5:20; Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

     Even if jobs return and the stock market sky rockets, God could not bless the sin of America. If we turn away from sin and embrace righteousness, and allow God to have His proper place in America, He will bless this country above all that we could ask or think.

     Lord woe to those who call evil good and turn their back on You. Who deny Your righteousness, and holiness. Lord heal us from the inside, from the leaders to the citizens. Bring back morality to our country and heal our land, in Jesus name Amen.

America's Morality


     You cannot turn on the TV, go to the movies, read a magazine, or even go to a public high school, without being bombarded with sexual immorality.  Sexual immorality has become America’s morality.
     We have allowed Hollywood to set our moral standards for our home, and our country.  The problem is they have no moral compass because they are Anti-God in all their beliefs.  How do I know this? Because of what they spew.   The God fearing in Hollywood are in the closet so to speak, fearful they will not have work if they allow their beliefs to be made known.
     How have we gotten to this point?  I believe we got there by allowing ourselves to be demonized, marginalized, and silenced by Hollywood, and the mainstream media.  Saturday Night Live, and characters like the “Church Lady”, “Flanders”, from The Simpsons, and others make a mockery out of Christianity.   We have allowed this by our kind and gentle nature. 
     We Christians are not a protected class like Muslims.  It is perfectly fine to make fun of Christians, call them names, belittle them, and impugn them.
     I believe that the closer we get to the coming of the Lord the worst it will become.  I believe eventually Christianity will be outlawed in America.  Hate crimes legislation is the first step to silence the Christian Community, and Pastors who preach the Bible. 
     The Bible is very specific on its view of Homosexuality, and that will be the basis on which Christianity will be outlawed, under the guides of hate speech.
     Lord we have allowed the Gospel to be impugned, and ridiculed.  Lord forgive us for not being bold and standing up for righteousness.  Lord you are coming soon and the days are growing more evil.  We need You now more than ever. In Jesus name Amen.

Destroying American From the Inside



     I was watching Hannity’s America on Tuesday night November 10, 2009,when I caught the “Man on the Street” segment.  It made my blood boil.  They asked the question “Who is Joe Biden?” too the folks in Hollywood California.
     Only 34% of the people they asked in Hollywood knew who Joe Biden was, but they all knew who the husband of Angelina Jolie was.  To make it worse there was a young lady who touted how she really didn’t like America.  She said she was moving to England, but she didn’t know who the Prime Minister was.
     What is happening to our citizens?  What is happening to our children?  What are we doing to ourselves?  Why are we allowing ourselves to be destroyed by the inside?  Other than sex education, values clarification, tolerance, revisionist history, and global warming, what are we teaching our children.  Our children have no love or allegiance to this country.  They have no knowledge of how this country was founded and they are taught, we are the cause of all the evil in this world.
     How did we allow ourselves to get to this point?  I know exactly how!  We through God out and brought “Secular Humanism” in.  We forgot the One who created us, and replaced the Word of God with the DaVinci Code, the Ten Commandments with self esteem, and political correctness.  We have allowed the main stream media, and Hollywood to set our moral values.
     Lord we have gone so far from You, we have thrown out your Word, and turned bitterly against You.  Allow us to see clearly what we have done to us and our children.  Bring us back, forgive us for our sins, and heal this land.  And to those that hate this country, Lord give them the provision to leave and start their life elsewhere, in Jesus name Amen.

Let My People Go


     On Saturday November 7, 2009 the House of Representatives passed the Healthcare Reform Bill.  If this bill or something similar passes the Senate, we as American will have sold ourselves in to bondage to the federal government.
     In our quest to find security, or utopia, or any other name you want to give it, we will become slaves of the federal government.  The government will now have the power of life and death over the citizens.
     Regardless of the opposition to this Bill from the citizens, the congress was bound and determined to jam this down our throats whether we want it or not.  It is obvious by the large protest on Thursday November 5, 2009, that the people were willing to go see their Representivies face to face to kill the bill.
     I believe the people have final awaken from their stupor, and are willing to take on the powers in Washington DC.  On Tuesday, November 4, 2009, is just a sneak peak of what is about to transpire, when the people find their voice.
     This is beginning to remind me of Moses in the book of Exodus, when the Pharaoh harden his heart and wouldn’t let the children of Israel go.  Even after he agreed to let Israel go, the Pharaoh recanted and chased Israel to his the peril.  I believe it will be to the peril of the liberal wing of the Democrat party, that this bill on Saturday passed.
     Lord we pray for the people of America, that they rise up in one voice to stop the enslavement of our government.  Lord may the leaders in Washington DC, fear the people, and remember that we are a Representative government and not an Oligarchy.  May we find our strength to bring back morality, and personal responsibility, and final do away with political correctness.   Lord go before us and clean up the corruption that has taken over Washington DC in Jesus name Amen.

A Prayer for Fort Hood


     Lord we pray for all families that lost their loved one yesterday at Fort Hood.  We ask for that You bring comfort, and peace to those families.  There is nothing we can say to bring back those that were lost, and right now the families are overwhelmed with grief.  Comfort them Lord.  May the Christian community wrap their arms around them in prayer, and stand with them, to bring them through this tough time.

      We also pray for the soldiers that are injured, and their families, Lord bring comfort and calmness.  May we pray without ceasing until all the soldiers are well, and back to work.  Lord may we see your face in the midst of this horrific tragedy.

     We pray for the physicians and medical personnel caring for the wounded, Lord give them wisdom, and favor.  Allow all the knowledge and training of medicine, bring a speedy recovery.

     I pray for the investigators, the FBI, the police, and all of those assigned to find the answers, Lord may it become abundantly clear what was the motive behind this tragedy. 

     I pray for the family of  Nidal Milik Hasan,  Lord may you be with them during this difficult time and allow Your presences be known to their entire family.

     Lord do not allow bitterness and anger to overtake the families, instead may the families reach out to You and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Lord take this tragedy, and make it a triumph in Jesus name Amen.

The Strength of God


     Our problems and issues are so small in comparison to God’s strength.  But do we believe that?  Our problems, our situations seem so overwhelming sometimes we feel it’s hard to believe the Lord, because we don’t see anything changing around us.  Or so it seems. 

     Our problem is we can’t see the end from the beginning.  Walking by faith is not easy.  It’s hard to believe when your senses tell you the opposite is true.  We don’t want to be presumptuous. 

     That’s why it is most important for believer’s to stay in God’s Word daily.  We forget that we are only here for a short time, and the weight of the world, overwhelms us.  James 4:14;  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes(NIV) 

     It’s also important to make sure we are plugged into a local body of believers, who are strong in the Word, who know God’s Word, and practice it even when no one is watching.  Sometimes just knowing that someone cares is all it takes to get us through a tough circumstance. This too shall pass, are comforting words to remember. The only thing that lasts is eternity.

     God promise is true in Romans 8:28;  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  (NIV) 

     Lord today we need your strength to get us though these tough times.  You are always there even if we can’t feel Your presence.  Come to our rescue, and repair the mess we made.  Forgive us for our wrong doing, and restore what Satan has taken away, in Jesus name Amen.

The Tide Is Turning

     The conservative movement in America is making a comeback according the elections held yesterday. The Saul Alinsky tactics of; isolate, polarize, demonize, didn’t seem to work.

     The folks in New Jersey, and Virginia have come to the realization that spending money indiscriminately to grow government is a bad thing for our children and grandchildren. Maybe we’re not “SOCAILIST NOW”. Maybe the tide is turning.

     Gay marriage was on the ballot in several states, and was defeated every where it ran. The tide is turning. People of faith are beginning to realize the Lord really is on our side, and willing to rescue us, if we are willing to do our part and, turn from our wicked ways, seek His face, and God will heal our land. The tide is turning.

     A word about government run health care, and all government spending, this scripture rings over, and over in my head, Luke 14:28,29 "For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? "Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him. (NAS).

     Our biggest problem is government spending, government programs are out of control, entitlements will bankrupt this country. The tide is turning, and we need the Lord to raise up leaders that will be willing to make the hard choices to drastically cut the size of government, no matter how the media will demonize them.

     Believe me, those who stand up will be demonized and so will their families, look at Sarah Palin for example. It’s time to pray for new leadership.

     Lord we pray You raise up the leaders that are men and women, after your own heart. That are will to make the hard decisions to cut the size of government in half or more. To get rid of all the unnecessary spending, and the entire ear mark spending programs. May we find leaders that is willing to go through the budget line by line and eliminate all the waist, fraud, and abuse forever, in Jesus name Amen.

What Will Be Left?

What will we leave to our children if we choose the path of least resistance, if we allow the mainstream media to silence us? What if we go along to get along, then will there be peace on earth? What if surrender to the pressure of an all power full central government to dictate every aspect of our lives.

What if we don’t stop our elected officials from spending all we, our children, our grandchildren, and our great grandchildren have? What will be left? Will there be an “America the Beautiful”?

There needs to be real “HOPE & CHANGE”:

HOPE:
1. I hope the people of America will turn back to the Lord and repent for what we have done to this great country.
2. I hope abortion will be stopped, and those in power who demand it will be stopped also.
3. I hope America will weed out the corruption in Washington DC, and demand accountability from our leaders.
4. I hope we American’s will find our back bone and demand our moral foundation to return to our country.
5. I hope we in American will stop patronizing Hollywood, the media, and the music industry that pedals sex and violence to our children, and call that “ART”, or free speech.
6. I hope fathers will return to their children, and take their place as proper role models for the next generation.

Change:

1. I ask America to change all the leaders in Washington DC. Every law maker, and legislature, will be replaced and we will clean out this mess of corruption.
2. I ask America to amend the Constitution to in act term limits, that each Congressman will have no more than 3 terms or 6 yrs maximum, and each Senator will have no more than 2 terms or 12 yrs maximum.
3. I ask we change the way we spent money in Washington by going through the budget line by line and getting rid of all funding and programs not laid out by the Constitution.
4. I ask we remove all funding from every pork barrel project, and all ear mark spending, and return that money back to the tax payers.
5. I ask we change the constitution, and require a balanced budget by cutting government programs, unnecessary spending, and not raising taxes.
6. I propose a change that every student in every class K-12 will have to read the Constitution.


Lord as we pray for real hope and change, I pray first that You are given your rightful place in our public square. Raise up leaders that exalt Your name, and bring glory to your Kingdom. Lord may revival sweep Washington DC, and may our eyes be opened to see the truth, in Jesus name Amen.

Ignorance is Bliss


      We have heard the expression ignorance is bliss; but is it?  I believe ignorance is enslavement.   Because of the dumbing down of the public school system in America, we are about to give up our freedom, to gain oppression, all in the name of health care for all.

     Our children, and many adults included, do not the difference between a Democracy, and a Republic, and that difference will destroy America as she was founded.  Do you know the difference?  Do we want to give up our Republic, and replace it with an Oligarchy?   If we continue on this path it will over take us before the end of Obama’s first term.

     The Constitution is our founding document, it is not eternal, but it is foundational.  Do you know what it says, or do you know what people, say it says?

     Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: Isaiah 5:13, and, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, Hosea 4:6.  (KJV)

     The Word of God is eternal, and foundational, unfortunately we have not heeded these words.  Thomas Jefferson said it so well when he stated; “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is Liberty.”

     Lord, we are about to relinquish our freedom to tyranny all in the name of health care for all, Lord open our eyes that we may see the truth and understand what we have done.  Lord turn us back to You and heal our land, in Jesus name Amen.

Keep On Walking

     Commitment  to pray no matter what?  Even if it seems hopeless.  When all around us is crumbling.  That’s when God shows up.  Just when we think all is over, the Lord has been working behind the scenes to bring about His will.

     There was a song back in the 70’s from the group Dogwood, KEEP ON WALKING.  Keep on walking you don’t know how far you’ve come, keep on walking, for all you know it may be done, and the Father may be standing up right now to give the call to end it all, keep on walking.

     This song has played in my head so many times in my life when I thought all was lost.  The scripture states it very clearly in Matthew 24:13: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (KJV).

     Just when we thought nothing could be done to stop ACORN, God uses 2 journalists, to pose as a 20 year old prostitute, and a 25 year old pimp.  The Lord will heal this land if we keep on walking, we don’t know how far we’ve come.  Commitment to prayer no matter what we see, God will fight for us.

     Lord you are our leader, may You guide us, and heal us, and remake us into Your image.  That this land will be that shining city on hill.  In Jesus name Amen.

No Wonder the People are Angry

     The more conservative side of American is growing increasingly more angry.  And I believe it is because of the glaring hypocrisy of the left.  In just the latest installment of the Alan Grayson saga, of his Whore comment, I can’t help but notice the deafening silence of the feminist.

     Where are they?  Where is the censure? Where is the call for his resignation?  Where are those who condemn this outrageous behavior.  I don’t know about you, but I am mad as H..L, and I am not going to take it anymore.

     What would happen to a conservative if they said “Democrats want you to die quickly”, or  “Democrats were the enemy of the country”. or call a liberal woman leader a “Whore”?  Trust me it would not have gotten that far.  If a conservative said “Democrats want you to die quickly“, they wouldn’t have chance to utter another word, they would be GONE.

      My view is because Grayson holds the same view of the Liberal media he is excused.  Liberal’s don’t just disagree with conservative, they believe conservatives are evil, and have to be done away with.  That is why conservatives are scrutinized, and demonized, for the smallest infraction.

     Romans 1:18-32, deals with this very subject, take time to read it and then pray that God will defend what is right, and will bring about justice to all.

     Lord we pray for the mainstream media and the beliefs they hold.  Your Word is against their ideology, and therefore they believe God needs to be destroyed.  Lord no one can fight against You.  Make Yourself known to them as You did to Paul, on the road to Damascus.  May they come to repentance and a saving knowledge in Jesus Christ.  In Your name we pray. 

A special thanks to Collette Bar for her inspiration.

American Values, What Are They?

     Since the 1960’s we have had a real shift in the values of America, from  Hollywood, to the government, to the home.  I believe the shift has been in the wrong direction.

     From the beginning of our founding through the 1950’s we had a traditional view of the family.  The father was the provider, and the mom was the keeper of the home front.

     There seemed to be a sense of security, and stability, in that family model.  When I look back at Hollywood during that era, I remember shows like Donna Reed, Father Knowns Best, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Leave it to Beaver, just to name a few.

     But in the 1960’s something changed which ushered in a disdain for the traditional.  Hollywood was one of the driving forces to bring about this new America.  The woman’s movement was born, and radical feminism was on the rise.

     The feminist believed the father was no longer necessary to raise their own children, and provide for them.  And the government came forth to support that belief with a welfare check, government subsidized housing, ADC, and other programs.

     But looking back on radical feminism, I see a sorry picture of broken lives, of the adult children of that era.  I believe the era of  radical feminism has given rise to what I call the Jerry Springer generation.

     So where are we today? In great need for the Lord to intervene on behalf and fix the mess we created.  God can put the pieces back together and heal the damage if we are willing to turn back to Him.

     Lord, we have made a mess of things for sure, but by Your stripes we were healed.  Lord heal our land and bring families together.  Turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children, and may we remember that You are the Father of all in Jesus name Amen.

When Wrong Becomes Right

      Some of us would love to go back to a simpler time, when morality was our foundation.   When we knew the difference between right and wrong, good vs. evil, truth vs. a lie.  When we could turn on prime time TV, and find family shows that were comic relief, and not Hollywood’s agenda ,or  a political statement.

     Values clarification, Political Correctness, Tolerance, and Progressive Thought, has transformed America into something unrecognizable.  We have taken the traditions of our founding, and demonized them to the point, that to be moral is immoral.  Speaking the truth is now deemed to be hate speech, if you believe in traditional marriage you are intolerant.

     God’s Word says so beautifully in Isaiah 5:20  “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter”, (KJV).

     The Roman Empire collapsed upon itself because of gross immorality, political correctness, and lack of values that made them strong.  In their time they were the enlighten ones, the well read, and well educated.  They didn’t need God because they thought they knew more than God.

     Lord, allow us to learn the lesson’s of history.  Let us see what we are doing to ourselves, and turn back from the edge of destruction.  May the Godly in America take a stand with out fear of being demonized.  Lord if they hated you they will hate us also.  Let us not shrink back, but be bold in love, in Jesus name Amen.

Paradise Recaptured

   Since the fall of Adam, man has always tried to recapture paradise.  After Christ’s death we reclaimed paradise, but not on earth, in heaven.  Jesus said, "In His Father’s house there are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am you may be also.  John 14:2-3. (NKJV)

     Those antagonistic to anything Godly, believe they can legislate paradise, or as they call it “Utopia”.  Unregenerate man has no clue. For some who do not believe in God, think they are god.  Look at the “New Age” movement, and Shirley MacLain in particular.

     There are those who are angry with God, having the mistaken belief that: God caused all their woes, and NOT their own actions, or poor decisions.  They blame God for all the consequences they have heaped upon themselves, and use the excuse that, a loving God would never let this happen to them.

     This kind of thinking has lead an entire culture, and government, to not taking responsibility for their actions.  It’s always somebody else’s fault for my bad decisions, and choices.

     Here on earth, there will always be those who reject God, and His word, and will fight fiercely to purge God form our society.  In addition to those who believe that they have no need  for the saving power, and forgiveness of God.

     The Bible states it clearly in Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge:  Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. (NKJV)

     Lord, today as we come before you in prayer, I pray for those who do not know You. I ask for a great awakening of the Holy Spirit to blow through our land.  Let those who once cursed Your name, will praise Your name, in Jesus name Amen.

Judge Not......Shut-Up

     Judge not lest you be judged, Matthew 7:1.  This scripture has been used as a club to silence the Godly in America.  And as believers we don’t want to appear judgmental, so we fall prey to not speaking up, and evil abounds.

     Now I see the that same tactic being used against anyone in America, who speaks out against the agenda coming out of the White House.   If we disagree then we are “Racists, Hate Mongers, Astroturfer’s, Red Necks, Uncompassionate,  Uninformed, Homophobes, blah,blah,blah."

     Will we American’s who disagree shut up, and cower in the corner, and go along because we don’t want to be disagreeable?  We fear the mainstream media, because we see what they do those they deem are their enemies, (i.e.) Joe the plumber, Sarah Palin, and now Fox News. 

     It is time for the Redeemed of the Lord to stand up boldly, and fear not because, God Himself will be our shield.  God knows those that are His, and he will fight our battle for us, if we will humble ourselves and pray, turn from our wicked ways, then God Himself, will hear from heaven forgive our sins and heal our land.

     Lord, today we pray for the mainstream media, we pray that those who seek to destroy without cause will be stopped, and in-turn they themselves will be caught in their own net.  Be our defender and bring righteous back to this nation, in Jesus name Amen.

2 Chronicles 7:14, What Does it Really Require?

2 Chronicles 7:14...If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways,
 then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their
land. (KJV)


     I hear this scripture quoted very often, and I pray that scripture most often.  But have we looked at this scripture closely, and understood, what is required of those who believe?

     If My people who are called by my name:


     These are those who are known by God to be His.  In other words  believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, purchased by His Blood upon the cross.  But you may say they didn’t know Jesus in Old Testament time.  That is true, the Jews had the Law to conform too, we are under Grace, the New Convent.

     Will humble themselves and pray and seek my face:


      What does it mean to be humble?  It means not proud, or arrogant, low in status and importance.  Realizing our need for God.  When we realize we need the Lord, we will seek after Him, and we will pray.

     God is sovereign, and righteous, we must realize in and of ourselves we can do nothing, we are but dust, a vapor that appears for a moment and then is gone.  God is eternal.  We need to put into perspective who we are, and who God is.

     And turn from your wicked ways:

One word “REPENT”.  Turn away from evil and turn to the Lord and do good.

     Then I will hear from heaven, forgive your sins, and I will heal your land.

     This promise is sure.  God will indeed heal our land, but first we must humble ourselves and pray, seek His face, repent from our sins.  This is what is required, if God is to heal our land.

     Lord God, we are humbled in your presences, we realize our total need for You.  Please Lord bring repentance to our country, and heal this land for Your glory in Jesus name Amen.

I would like to thank Marcia Pettigrew for her e-mail "We are speeding" for today's inspiration.

We May Disagree.

     Whether we agree or disagree with the policies, or the actions, or the world view of our president, is it our duty as believers to pray for him.  Obama is not a king, however he is our nation’s leader.

     Proverbs 21:1, reminds us “The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will.” (KJV).  I am also reminded of Saul who became Paul shortly after he met the Lord on the  Damascus road.

     God will show up in glorious way if we are willing pray without ceasing for our president, and our leaders.  God will restore the moral foundation if we are willing to turn away from sin, and turn back to the Lord.  We must be bold and not afraid to stand up for what is right.  Let the redeemed of the Lord say so: Psalm 107:2.

     God’s Word is true, and trustworthy.  We need to stand on 2 Chronicles 7:14...If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land. (KJV)

     Lord, we seek your face today.  We cry out to You humbly, we need You Lord.  We need You to turn the heart of the president, and the leaders back to You.  Restore righteousness, and rightness to our land.  Lord  may we never stop praying until we see you face to face. In Jesus name Amen.

The Time is Now

     If there was ever a time to pray, the time is NOW..  Godly Patriots do you realize in less than 2 weeks, President Obama could give up American sovereignty in the place of a  global government, all in the name of “Global Warming or Climate Change.”

     This is not a mistake, I believe this was the plan from the beginning, and many, many years before he was elected.  Remember what Obama said just prior to becoming President.  He said “we were days away from fundamentally re-making America.”

     There are more people than we know who hate America, as she stands, and her freedom.  What they really hate is her Godly Heritage, and her original intent put forth by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  These folks are destroying the moral foundation, and the traditions, from the inside using the ACLU, the court system, the media, and Hollywood as their weapon.

     It reminds me of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls in Jerusalem.  The walls were a visible sign that God was alive, and stood with Israel. Nehemiah chapter 4, deals with the defending of the wall please read it and let’s get busy and pray fervently, and God will defend our land.

     Lord, today we pray fervently that You will be our defender.  Do not allow our sovereignty to be given away, and stop the enemies of this country from destroying it from the inside.  Lord we need to repent for all our unrighteousness.  Forgive us for our sins, and give us strength to stand up and so NO, we will not let our country go. In Jesus name Amen.

     Godly Patriots stay on our knees for this country.

UTOPIA

     UTOPIA, sounds great!  UTOPIA right here, right now….. Is it possible? Our legislatures in Washington D.C. seems to think it is, and by golly they will legislate away our freedom to achieve it.

     “Universal Health Care”, will become a right for all, you don’t even have to be an American, or be in this country legally.  Abortion-- on demand at the tax payers expense, whenever you would like.  Washington D.C. will make sure the coffers of government are full our tax dollars to achieve this "UTOPIA".

     Fairness, will be the new mantra upon which we stand.  Instead of “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”,  we will have “ONE NATION UNDER GOVERNMENT…. WITH FAIRNESS, AND POLITICAL JUSTICE, FOR ALL.  UTOPIA!!!

     I think of the Scripture in Jeremiah 17:9:  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (KJV).

     The unregenerate heart, away from God, becomes his own god, and no good thing can come from that.  The scripture is true.

     Lord we pray for our leaders, and legislatures, today in Washington, D.C. and all over this country.  We pray for those who do not know you specifically.  Lord reveal Yourself to them, and make known Your Word to them.  These men and women hold the power of Law over the citizens.

     Lord, there is a true UTOPIA,  it’s called heaven, and is prepared for those who have been bought by the Blood of Jesus.  In Your name we pray Amen.

Can There Every Be Unity?

     Can there ever be unity in a country so fiercely divided?  It seems like the closer we get to the coming of the Lord, the more anger, and hostility seems to be growing against the Christian believer, and other conservatives in our land.

     The finger of intolerance seems to be pointed at the Church more and more, because of our pro-life stance, and our belief in traditional marriage.

     We are the one’s who are accused of being out of the mainstream.  But are we really?  When we reject gay marriage, and we do not want our tax dollars going to fund abortion, it seems we as Christians become the enemy of the state.

     If we disagree with our President on the government taking over the health care system, or on the issue of government funding for abortion, and covering illegal immigrants in health care reform, than we are called raciest.

     This kind of rhetoric, needs to stop, and stop NOW.  Church it is time for fierce battle to begin in prayer.  We need great revival to sweep this land. There is a real enemy who wants to destroy this nation, and tear it apart form the inside.

     Remember, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Ephesians 6:12 KJV

     Lord we fiercely pray this day for great revival to sweep our land.  Start in my home today.  Let your Spirit flow through this land, and bring men and women to their knees today.  Let the heart’s of men realize their need for You, and make Yourself known to us.  In Jesus name Amen.

FEAR NOT!!

     America in the midst of incredible chaos, and it is so easy to give into fear.  My husband can’t even watch the news because it makes his blood boil, and his blood pressure sky rocket.  I am sure many of you feel the same way.

     But, I am here to tell you to; “FEAR NOT!”.  God is in control.  No matter what happens in Washington D.C., our law makers cannot legislate The Lord God Almighty off  His Throne.  And brothers and sisters in Christ, no one can take your name out of the lambs book of life.

     It doesn’t matter who is in the White House, the Congress or the Senate.  Prayer has indisputable power.  Not only will the Lord hear us when we pray, he is moved  to action by the prayers.  II Chronicles 7:14 says it all.

 If my people who are call by My name will humble themselves and pray, and turn form their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

     Dear Lord, as we come before You humbly to pray for our nation, we take You at your Word, that You will heal our land.  May the repentance of our heart fill our land, and the praise of our lips bring you glory, in Jesus name Amen.

I would like to thank Keith Shull and ACWI for today's inspiration.

Our Pastors are our True Leaders

     For many years the Christian community has been silent, and complacent, when it comes to our elected officials, our culture and our entertainment.  We have allowed the media to take the place of the Word of God, and because of our mannerly behavior, and our desire not to be offensive, we have not taken a stand to do what is right for our children, community and culture.  And now we are reaping the whirlwind.

     Pastors, are afraid to speak up from the pulpit to deal with the issues of the day, because they fear offending some in their congregations.  They don't want to seem harsh or hard, political correctness has taken over the church slowly in the from of the "Seeker Movement".  Some Churches refuse to put up a cross on the outside of their building for fear they will offend someone. 

     We just want to have folks come and see what is going on in our Churches and then if they want, they can come and see some more.  Pastors the time is short and there is no time for pretense.  The Word of God is the "TRUTH" and needs to be strong in our land again, and we need to be unapologetic.  Our children, our community, and our culture are in the balance, and sin is crouching at the door.

     Today, Pastors I pray for you because, you will be the leaders that will take the brunt of the fury of hell when you speak the truth in love.    The Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and Prayer needs to be the guiding force and power of your pulpit.
       Speak boldly without fear and allow the Lord to move in your church and our families, our communities and our country will be transformed.   In Jesus Name Amen.

Are We One Nation Under God?

     The Pledge of Allegiance says we are, it was added to the pledge in 1954 to remind us how this country was founded.  Have we forgotten?  We are definitely a "DIVERSE"  nation. We are a" RICH" nation, and  for the most part we are an "EDUCATED" nation. 
     But God did not call us to be a Diverse nation, or a  Rich nation, or a White nation, or a Black nation, or a Multi-Cultural Nation.  God called us to a Holy Nation, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty, and Justice for all.
     A Holy Nation, a nation with a moral foundation rooted in the 10 Commandments.   A respect, and reverence, for our Creator and Lord. One nation Indivisible, with out division, but we are divided.......Republican vs. Democrat, Red State vs. Blue State, Rich vs Poor, Black vs. White, and now Insured vs. Uninsured.
     But in reality there is only one division on which all other divisions flow,  "BELIEVER vs. UNBELIEVER".
      The Bible says in  Ephesians 4:4-6, There is only one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling, one Lord one faith one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all, and in you all.  Is this true only if we believe it is true?  NO!  It is true because it is the Word of God whether we want to believe it or not:  Truth is Truth.  So than where does that leave us?  Right to the Throne of God, and to our knees in prayer.
     Lord we pray for those who do not know you as their Lord and Savior.  We pray for great revival to sweep our country like a tidal wave.  Without You we can do nothing.  We need You to bring back Holiness and Rightness to our land.  Rebuild the moral foundation upon which it has been founded.  Raise up Godly leaders,  and Pastors, who are not afraid to speak boldly the Word of God without compromise and political correctness.  Raise up Godly Patriots who are willing to do battle in prayer until You come again Lord. "Maranatha".  In Jesus name Amen.

I want to thank Carla Sandling-Bush for her inspiration for today's blog.

What is Obama's Real Agenda for the USA- can we really do nothing to stop it?

     I am grateful for Conservative talk radio, since I am a true Conservative.  I listen to Rush Limbaugh as often as I can.  However there is one things he says makes me so mad.  The thing he says often is "NO matter what the Democrats do we can't do anything to stop it".

     I have just one word for that BALONEY!!  Godly Patriots we possess the greatest power known to man. The power of prayer.  Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, can happen in USA without the Lord knowing about first.

     God  will hear us when we pray, and He will move on our behalf if we let Him.  He only has wants the best for us regardless of how bad  we screw up our country as long as we are willing to repent from our sin, turn back to Him, and submit our lives to Him.  Remember Romans 8:28  ""ALL THING WORK TOGETHER FOR  GOOD, FOR THOSE THAT ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.  Either the Word of God is true, or it's a lie.  It is the TRUTH!

     But what is the real agenda of Obama behind the rhetoric, and fancy speeches.  I believe it is NOT what the founders had in mind for America, the Land of the Fee and the Home of the Brave.  One thing the left constantly says, is that they want us all to be equal.  On the surface that sounds good.  Those of us who are lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ are all equal at the foot of the cross, no question.

     But what kind of equality is Obama talking about?  No one should be any smarter than anyone else, because that would be unfair.  No one should be any richer than anyone else,  that will also be unfair remember what Obama said to Joe the plumber in the 2008 election " I (Obama)  want to spread the wealth around".

     One statement,  and then one question. If no one person should have any more than anyone else, then what do we do with the people that make things happen?  The achievers, the go getter's, the ones who create opportunities for others to advance their status in life.

     If Obama wants to create wealth in our country from the bottom up, than those who are where they are because of their lack of desire to work hard, and dedicate themselves to a self discipline life style, in other words lazy, and unmotivated. What wealth can they create?

     These folks say, that they don't have the same opportunity, and therefore are being held down.  Again I say BALONEY!  They don't have the same internal motivation, and self discipline.  But that comes from within and not from without.  You can't legislate self discipline.

     Today let's cry out to the Lord and ask Him to intervine on our behalf, so any secert or hidden agends, or chaos to bring forth and ceate dependancy and slaverly to government will be stoped. We pray for our President, and leaders in authority.  Lord let your will be done for this country, in Jesus Name Amen.

Can Prayer Really Save Our Nation?

    Absolutely!, Positively!, No Question! Yes!, Yes! and Yes!.

     Godly Patriots our strength is in prayer.  The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4.  Our power as Godly Patriots is on our knees before the Throne of God.

     God will hear us when we pray, and move on our behalf, because "The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much James 5:16."  Either the Word of God is true or it's a lie.  It can't be both.  God will raise up His own leaders, He will shine His light into the darkness and NO one will be able to hide.

     Again, this is a Nation founded by Godly men to bring Glory to His name.  The revolution of Prayer must begin today and the battle cry is "Lord we turn back to You, forgive us for allowing evil to rein in our country.

     Forgive us for our complacency and  not calling sin, sin.  Forgive us for murdering our unborn and call it "Choice". 
     Forgive us for NOT teaching our children the difference between right and wrong and calling it "values clarification".
     Forgive us for all the sexual immorality that is all over the internet, cable TV, and in Hollywood, and we call that "Freedom of Speech"...  Lord what have we done to the moral foundation of our society?

     Father, we pray for our Leaders, our President, our Senate and our Congress, we pray that scales will fall from their eyes, and that their hearts will be softened, and You will make Yourself known to our legislatures.

 Lord allow conviction to be felt in the hearts of those in leadership, and that  we will turn from evil and embrace righteousness and holiness, in Jesus name Amen.

God and Country

     America was created by men who believed in God first and foremost. There are American's who don't believe in God, and therefore want to take away our Godly heritage. The mere thought of God offends them and they want to ex sponge God and any reference to Him from the public square via the court system.

     The Godly in America have up to this point been silent. But I see a great awakening happen in the USA, a revival if you will of Godly Patriotism. I believe that God has heard our many prayers on all the National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday of May. Also the Promise Keepers who on October 4 1997, gathered in Washington DC.

     I thank God for Barack Obama, because of all that is taking place with taxes, government run health care, and out of control spending.   It seems that this is what God is using to wake us up out of our stupor. It has started, if you will, a revival of Godly Patriots. Moms and Dads, that are final willing to take a stand at town halls, and show up at our legislature's offices, make the calls send the fax, write the e-mails, and set up blogs etc.

     Let us not forget the most important element, and that is the Lord. We need no man to lead us we have the Lord God Himself, to shine the light of truth. And he will use whom ever he wishes, even 2 journalists posing as a 20yr old prostitute and 25yr old pimp.

     America, let us pray for our country, to bring it back to the glory it once had.   Then after that we pray, we pray again,  and then pray some more, and than after that pray some more.  In fact before we go any further lets us pray now for America....... God forgive us for not standing up against evil and bring righteousness to our land, in Jesus name Amen.
