Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Book of Proverbs
(Proverbs 16)
16 To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
2 All a persons ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the Lord.
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
4 The Lord works out everything to its proper end
even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart.
Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyones way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
8 Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice.
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.
13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value the one who speaks what is right.
14 A kings wrath is a messenger of death,
but the wise will appease it.
15 When a kings face brightens, it means life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to get insight rather than silver!
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,[a]
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.
21 The wise in heart are called discerning,
and gracious words promote instruction.[b]
22 Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,
but folly brings punishment to fools.
23 The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent,
and their lips promote instruction.[c]
24 Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
25 There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.
26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.
27 A scoundrel plots evil,
and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.
28 A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends.
29 A violent person entices their neighbor
and leads them down a path that is not good.
30 Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained in the way of righteousness.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the Lord.
Footnotes:
1. Proverbs 16:20 Or whoever speaks prudently finds what is good
2. Proverbs 16:21 Or words make a person persuasive
3. Proverbs 16:23 Or prudent / and make their lips persuasive

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Most of the advice in Proverbs is for the Common Man, but Kings would do well to follow the precepts. In this Chapter, much of the advice is given to Kings, but the Common Man would do well to observe them.
Although it may be a stretch to equate presidential candidates in a Constitutional Republic with the all-powerful tyrants of old, the advice to kings in this chapter about honesty, integrity, justice, and compassion for the poor make perfect sense.
When the primaries began many months ago, Mr. Trump came across as brash and "loud", and even though we may have agreed with what he was saying, some of his expressions left him open to criticism from the already-biased media. As the primaries closed, the conventions were finished, and Trump has become our nominee, I have noticed a more dignified and thoughtful "style" in his speeches and interviews. It is as though our prayers for him are working to make him more "Presidential". His humility and dignity really seemed to come through as Black Pastors have "laid hands" on him and prayed for him, and his remarks lately show a different person than the one who used to bellow "You're Fired!" on TV.
On the other hand, his opponent, with her eye-rolling, blame-shifting, screeching and accusing, has gotten less and less "appealing", even to her traditional voting blocs. Our prayers for an "Honest Balance", "True and Just Weights", and for "Secrets to be Revealed" seem to be the ones that are being answered.
As we pray, commit our Candidate to the Lord. Ask God to guide him in Truth, Righteousness, and Honesty.
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Our prayer for DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE...
ROMANS 12:1-2
12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

The Gates of Worship
Sept 22, 2016
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalm 100:4
When you enter some of the greatest cities in the world, you can encounter famous gates such as the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin), the Jaffa Gate (Jerusalem), and the gates at Downing Street (London). Whether the gates were built for defensive or ceremonial purposes, they all represent the difference between being outside or inside certain areas of the city. Some are open; some are closed to all but a few.
The gates into the presence of God are always open. The familiar song of Psalm 100 is an invitation for the Israelites to enter into the presence of God through the temple gates. They were told to shout for joy and come before him with joyful songs (vv. 12). Shouting for joy was an appropriate expression when greeting a monarch in the ancient world. All the earth was to sing joyfully about God! The reason for this joyful noise was that God had given them their identity (v. 3). They entered the gates with praise and thanksgiving because of Gods goodness and His steadfast and enduring love which continues through all generations (vv. 45). Even when they forgot their identity and wandered away from Him, God remained faithful and still invited them to enter His presence.
The gates into Gods presence are still open, inviting us to come and worship.
What should motivate us to worship God? What statement of praise could you give to God today?
The gates into the presence of God are always open.
Psalm 100 is poetry packed with image-rich language. When the psalmist says we are the Lords, this reminds us of His creative and redeeming work. The Bible tells us that if we have faith in Christ, we are His in at least two ways: We are His because He created us (Gen. 1:2631) and because He has adopted us as His family (Eph. 1:5). The psalmist also uses the image of a sheep. We are the sheep of His pasture. We belong to Him and can enter His gates because we are under His care. Jesus Himself uses this image of sheep and gates in John 10:79 when explaining what it means to be saved.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM! And for the Preservation of the Valiant Israeli Nation!
"Pride Goeth Before Destruction, And An Haughty Spirit Before A Fall."_____________ (Proverbs 16:18 KJV)

HE preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but theLORD weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. |
4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to theLORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
