Friends,
I hope to see many of you in DC...in a time when so much negative stuff is said about our nation and troops, you’ll hear and see positive from Eagles in DC....hope you’re part of it.
If you can’t come, please watch www.eaglesup.us for video on Friday and video and audio on Saturday.....note that the audio begins at 1 PM EDT (1200PM CDT).
When you go to www.eaglesup.us and enter the video window you’ll notice an American Flag...that will be on display until live video.......
We also hope to have some live video on Friday night during our visit to Walter Reed Army Hospital Center as we encourage and support our wounded.... Look for that between 6 and 9 PM EDT (5 to 8 PM CDT).
All the details of the events are on www.eaglesup.us .....motel/hotel rooms are available.
Thanks to all the bloggers, web sites, and so many in the background, that are contributing to our common mission..........it’s a team of patriots that make things happen for the better.
Please pray for an honorable, positive outpouring of support for our nation, troops, families, and respectful observance of our fallen.
God bless every one........

“Please pray for an honorable, positive outpouring of support for our nation, troops, families, and respectful observance of our fallen.”
Spirit, let Colonel Riley know we have received his request and are praying....some of the prayer he will find in this thread the the other prayer thread specifically to support our troops and those who support them. Some is here. And for each written prayer, he should know many, many of us are praying in one accord where it cannot be seen and God WILL provide an answer. Thanks for letting us know of the request. Now let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, Awesome God, Mighty Warrior King, how we love You. We adore You with everything within us for there is no other God but You. Lord God, this country was founded on Your Truth and Your principles. We have always known that there is a price to maintaining the ability to live in the freedom we enjoy....it must be fought for to retain. Every generation before has paid the price and now it is our turn. But these last 40 years many have forgotten that freedom is not granted by the opposition, it must by won. There will always be those who seek to tyrannize others because of their hunger for power in their own right in order to validate the value of their own lives. But Lord God this is NOT Your way. Whoever is least shall be first. There is NO power outside You. Everything is in Your hands and not our own. Yet there will always be those who seek power for themselves and will stop at nothing to be able to oppress others for their own benefit. Lord God, You have said the fasting You desire is that we would join with You in setting the captives free, in helping the oppressed...In every way before we have gone to do just that - to help those who are captive find their freedom. We have not gone to take ownership and opppress them ourselves, but to conquer their oppressors and equip them to live in freedom on their own. Then we leave and go home! Lord God, this war is no different. We fight to keep the terrorists off our land. We fight to help the oppressed obtain freedom and govern themselves in it.
But here in our own land are those who would dishonor the work of our military men and women. Enough is enough. You have rallied a people, a group of patriots to stand up for our troops here so they can fight for us there. Lord God, many of them are coming to the D.C. area this weekend specifically to show our nation and the world that anti-war protestors are not the voice of America, they are just a voice.
Lord God, feelings and emotions are running high in the patriots. They are riled! By Your power and in Your love grant grace to all who come, to act with decorum and respect especially when the opposition does not. Cause these patriots to exhibit self-control to a degree which can come only from You. Provide opportunities for the honor they desire to pay our military, their families and our fallen to be effective - way beyond what they have imagined. Create opportunities for new relationships to be built between Your people which will continue to grow after each returns to their respective part of the country.
Lord God we ask again for safe passage for each and every patriot. We ask for blessings upon their household and families while they are away and no negative repercussions upon their return.
Lord God release Your warrior angels around Capitol Hill to surround these patriots and keep them safe.
We even ask for two things which seem impossible - that what the opposition plans will either be less successful than expected or that the media finally begins to understand that informed America is behind our troops AND their mission! Secondly, we ask that You would begin to open the eyes of the opposition to see the fallacies upon which they stand - that some of those who think it just sounds good to be anti-war will begin to see that the fruit of most of these individuals is NOT peace!!! (that the root motive of this movement is not what it is purported to be on the surface).
Lord God, we know You will fulfill Your promises so we wait in joyful expectation for Word of what You have done.
Do reveal Yourself and Your supernatural power in what happens this weekend with these dear patriots. Let there be a multitude of “God-stories” which result from their time in the D.C. area.
We thank You in advance for how You will provide for and orchestrate all perfectly. In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen
