Please join us in prayer tonight for our President, our troops and our nation!
Our Heavenly Father, I join my sisters and brothers in Christ as we gather tonight to pray for President Bush and his family. We pray, Dear Lord, that they are getting some much needed rest this week.
We continue to pray for the brave men and women who are fighting to keep our great country free and safe for us. We pray for their families who are missing them, especially during this holiday season. We pray that they will know how we as a nation love them.
We ask these blessings in Your Son's Precious Name, Amen.
May God guide and protect our President and our troops.
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I Am
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
Healing Rain, Michael W Smith, Martin Smith & Matt Bronleewe
AMEN OHIO AND AMEN ALL!
GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN!
MY PRAYERS FOR YOU ARE FOR A BLESSED CHRIST CENTERED THANKSGIVING!
Ps 116:1 I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!"
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD In the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted."
11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
12 What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.
16 O LORD, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people,
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
(NKJV)

Mt 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26 "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 "For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
28 "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
(NKJV)
"Get thee up into the high mountain."
- Isaiah 40:9
Each believer should be thirsting for God, for the living God, and longing
to climb the hill of the Lord, and see him face to face. We ought not to
rest content in the mists of the valley when the summit of Tabor awaits
us. My soul thirsteth to drink deep of the cup which is reserved for those
who reach the mountain's brow, and bathe their brows in heaven. How pure
are the dews of the hills, how fresh is the mountain air, how rich the
fare of the dwellers aloft, whose windows look into the New Jerusalem!
Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who see not the
sun; they eat dust like the serpent when they might taste the ambrosial
meat of angels; they are content to wear the miner's garb when they might
put on king's robes; tears mar their faces when they might anoint them
with celestial oil. Satisfied I am that many a believer pines in a dungeon
when he might walk on the palace roof, and view the goodly land and
Lebanon. Rouse thee, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy
sloth, thy lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste
and pure love to Christ, thy soul's Husband. Make him the source, the
centre, and the circumference of all thy soul's range of delight. What
enchants thee into such folly as to remain in a pit when thou mayst sit on
a throne? Live not in the lowlands of bondage now that mountain liberty is
conferred upon thee.
Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments, but press forward
to things more sublime and heavenly.
Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life.
Upward to heaven! Nearer to God!
"When wilt thou come unto me, Lord?
Oh come, my Lord most dear!
Come near, come nearer, nearer still,
I'm blest when thou art near."

YOU WILL ALL BE IN OUR PRAYERS AS WE HOLD HANDS AND PRAY BEFORE GOD'S TABLE TOMORROW!
