Jesus, we hear You when You say, : Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.(Luke 24) and so we determine not to be troubled. JESUS IS ALIVE!!! You are not a dead God who cannot save us! Glory to You!
: As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God. (Romans 14) Holy God, we pray for our military men and women. You have put each one on our hearts, which is why we are here today. Our hearts desire is that every one will bow to You and confess to God on this side of eternity. You are able, Holy Spirit, to convict them concerning righteousness and to send laborers into that harvest so that faith in You can come. Thank You for the grace that will accomplish this. Preserve their lives until they can approach You in faith with this confession.
We pray for those leaders in Washington, D.C., who are making decisions concerning where and how our troops are deployed. Give them Your precious wisdom and understanding, laying aside pride, greed and other unholy motivations that would keep them from making correct decisions. Move them by Your Spirit, we pray!
To us, this is a big prayer, but we know that with God all things are possible. Thank You for hearing us as we pray today in Jesus name. Amen.
Read: Luke 9:1-6
Lauren Kornacki is glad she took that summer CPR class, but she probably never thought she would have to use it so soon and on someone she loves. Her father was repairing his car when the jack slipped and the car fell on him. Lauren, a 22-year-old, reportedly heroically lifted the 3,300-pound car enough to pull him from underneath! Then she kept him alive with CPR until the paramedics arrived.
Far greater than Laurens rescue of her father from the jaws of death is Jesus rescue of us from the clutches of sin by His death and resurrection. When Jesus sent the 12 disciples to carry out His work, He gave them the assignment to preach the good news of Gods desire to rescue people (Luke 9:1-6). They would not carry this out in their own strength, but Jesus would lift the heavy burden of peoples sin as they taught about Him. Their preaching and healing in Jesus power and authority proved that Jesus had actually brought Gods rule to earth.
Many today are trapped under the weight of sin, but our great God can rescue us from underneath those burdens and then send us into the world to tell others that He can set them free.
Amen to your prayer For Our American Heroes and For Our Nation.
