Matthew 18: 19-20
”Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for,
it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
For where two or three come together in my Name,
there am I with them.”

Matthew 18: 19-20
”Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for,
it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
For where two or three come together in my Name,
there am I with them.”
We bless You at all times, Father, and may Your praise continually be in our mouths. Let us magnify You, our Lord, and let us exalt Your Holy Name together. We seek You in prayer and in our praises of thanksgiving today, Lord. We know that You hear us and answer us, as You have done throughout our lives, and as You have responded to these prayers over the past 1520 days. We have seen that You are good, O Lord. We are confident in the truth of Your Word that tells us that You are in the midst of us because we are gathered together in Your Name. What an awesome comfort and blessing to know that You, our God, are interceding with Your children as we come together on this thread.
We are thankful, Father, because You guard America by day and night. We are fed by Your unceasing bounty. We are led by Your all-wise counsel. We cherish the roots of our nation’s past for we know that those who established this country were rooted and grounded in Your love. We praise You for Your faithfulness to those who left their homes abroad and braved the rough oceans to come to a land where freedom to worship You was foremost in their hearts. We thank You for guiding this small group of Pilgrims to plant the seeds of growth for a mighty nation. We see Your hand throughout our nation’s history, Lord, and we are thankful.
We know Your hand is upon this nation now, as well. We ask You to contend, O Lord, with those who seek to destroy us. Fight against those who seek our ruin. Take hold of Your shield and buckler and rise to our defense, for You are our deliverance. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise evil against us. Guide our earthly military armies, Lord, so that we may be victorious in bringing to justice those who plot to kill the innocent. Please be with our servicemen and women and help them with their assigned roles. Be also with their families who await their return. Bring comfort to all who will wait in loneliness over the coming holidays and bring ministers of Your Holy Spirit to those whose loved ones will never again be present with them.
We lift up prayers of thanksgiving for our President, Great God. We agree that You have begun a good work in him and that You will be faithful to continue it until the day of Jesus Christ. We recognize that he is a mere mortal as are we all, but we also see that he is a changed man because of Your work in him. We pray for Your constant guard over him and Your unceasing voice in his ear. Please continue to instruct him and teach him the way he should go. Counsel him with Your eye upon him. Help him always to respond to You with a grateful and obedient heart for the leading you provide him. Grant him the whispering of Your choice for Secretary of State, and help him, Lord, to always be surrounded with men and women who love and honor You.
Our hearts are filled with praise for Your faithful answers to our prayers, Lord. You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness and love. Fill the heart all who pause to pray here, and be the silent guest within our homes, that we may always be blessed by Your leadership in every aspect of our lives. In the Awesome and Powerful Name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Our Heavenly Father, we come before You again as humble as we know how, asking Your blessings on President Bush, his administration, his family and our military troops.
We pray, Dear Lord, that you will watch over them, guide and lead them, protect them, so that we can live in peace as President Bush is striving to do.
We ask these blessings in Your Son's Precious Name, Amen.
Amen
Pray for Saint George.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear his name, to keep them and deliver them from harm.
Praise the Lord! Thanks, Faith!
Lord, you bless us and are so faithful to answer our prayers. We are a grateful people. You are good and Your mercy endures forever. We are thankful that your ears are open to our prayers, that your precious Holy Spirit teaches us to pray as we ought so that Your will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. You are an awesome, holy, excellent and marvelous Father and we love You. You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies and we rejoice as we celebrate the victories Your hand provides.
Thank you for showing us when You answer our prayers and keep us strong through your indwelling Spirit to continue in endurance and patience as we give you thanks for all that You are and do.
Thank You for President Bush, for all of our American heroes who have been saved by Your hand without our even knowing it, for all the creation that are coming to the knowledge of the truth that Jesus is Lord.
AMEN FAITH AND AMEN ALL!
GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN!
Ps 43:1 Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
2 For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
(NKJV)

Da 7:13 "I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.
14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.
(NKJV)
"The branch cannot bear fruit of itself."
- John 15:4
How did you begin to bear fruit? It was when you came to Jesus and cast
yourselves on his great atonement, and rested on his finished
righteousness. Ah! what fruit you had then! Do you remember those early
days? Then indeed the vine flourished, the tender grape appeared, the
pomegranates budded forth, and the beds of spices gave forth their smell.
Have you declined since then? If you have, we charge you to remember that
time of love, and repent, and do thy first works. Be most in those
engagements which you have experimentally proved to draw you nearest to
Christ, because it is from him that all your fruits proceed. Any holy
exercise which will bring you to him will help you to bear fruit. The sun
is, no doubt, a great worker in fruit-creating among the trees of the
orchard: and Jesus is still more so among the trees of his garden of
grace. When have you been the most fruitless? Has not it been when you
have lived farthest from the Lord Jesus Christ, when you have slackened in
prayer, when you have departed from the simplicity of your faith, when
your graces have engrossed your attention instead of your Lord, when you
have said, "My mountain standeth firm, I shall never be moved"; and have
forgotten where your strength dwells-has not it been then that your fruit
has ceased? Some of us have been taught that we have nothing out of
Christ, by terrible abasements of heart before the Lord; and when we have
seen the utter barrenness and death of all creature power, we have cried
in anguish, "From him all my fruit must be found, for no fruit can ever
come from me.
" We are taught, by past experience, that the more simply we depend upon
the grace of God in Christ, and wait upon the Holy Spirit, the more we
shall bring forth fruit unto God.
Oh! to trust Jesus for fruit as well as for life.

I love Charles Spurgeon!
He was a great preacher of the gospel!!!
He ministered to me when I was a baby in the Lord.
I read his "Morning and Evening Devotional".
His sermons were a blessing to me also.
May our President be led of the Spirit of the Lord!
May he know there are warriors that are standing in the gap for him and his Presidency and family.
God bless our President, George W. Bush and every one he loves!
Amen.

Ryan Chapman, a 22-year-old Marine, was hit above the left eye by a sniper's bullet, but escaped with a fractured skull.
"People keep on telling me that I'm lucky," he said. "I don't mind being lucky."
Despite his brush with death, Chapman was keen to return to fight in Iraq.
"I want to go back. It kills me when I see the news, when I think of all my buddies back there."

Lord, we have good young people fighting for freedom in Iraq. War is hell, but it also can bring out the best in us.
We are winning the battle, and the war, but it is costly.
The enemy fights visciously against his own best interests, because he is deceived.
Help our soldiers win this war quickly. Help the Iraqis understand the truth. Heal the wounded, bind up the brokenhearted. Help the president and his appointments, and all who seek to serve honorably.
Conquer our wills, that we would walk close to You. Bring revival not only to our land, but through the advance of freedom to the entire world. That Christ would be glorified.
AMEN DEAR BROTHER!!
Please Lord, watch over our president and help him to see the light regarding illegal immigrants and the danger porous borders pose for our children.
"Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you and you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart, and I will be found by you, declares the Lord" Jer. 12:14
Lord we seek you and want nothing more than to know you better and to draw closer to you. Lord we love you so much. Thank you for Condi Rice, please keep her obedient to You. Protect her and guide her in her new job as S. of S.
For our brave soldiers who have fallen, Oh God, we ask comfort to their families, and we also ask that You would be glorified through all of this. Please let the people of Iraq have access to the gospel as terrorist strongholds are routed out and destroyed. The battle belongs to You, Almighty God.
Please be with all our persecuted brethren this day, dear Lord, particularly those in China.
Finally, dear Lord, please continue to keep our dear President in the fold of your wings. Guard his mind and his faith. Protect his family please. Lord we ask for revival in this land, beginning with the church. That all the saints would be on their knees, repenting of sin if necessary, and then praying faithfully for our land. Lord, we beseech Thee, that our nation would not fall into the hands of utterly evil leadership!
We love you and praise you, in the unmatched Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Also continuing to pray for our soldiers and Marines fighting in Iraq, that they would be protected from harm, and be victorious over the terrorists in every area of the country, and that they would feel God's presence among them.
Agreeing with you in your prayer. Thank you!
