Folks, we need to be on our knees, NOW, praying for Newt Gingrich and for our country. I don't want this to be political.....Newt was not my first choice, but after seeing what the press did to Sarah, then Mr. Cain, and what they're now trying to do to Newt, with of course the BLESSING of Romney....well, we need to stop this NOW. We can ALL agree that NONE of us wants O'Bama back in office, that is a given.
I have children...lots of YOU have children. I have grandkids, lots of YOU have grandkids. I do NOT want them to grow up in a country that is no longer free.
Gator113 said in this thread "I truly believe that God is trying to bless this country again.
‘Free will’ is a tricky thing.... if we use it right, then we can win..... if we use it wrong ...we go to hell.
Failure to recognize this clear guidance and blessing from God, will be at our peril.
By this time next year, there will be a beautiful New Morning in America, a morning of promise, a morning of dreaming again, a morning when our country begins to heal...... or... we will see the death of our children’s future while we watch this once great country burn to the ground.
Freeper MissMagnolia offered up this beautiful and heartfelt prayer in the above mentioned thread:
"O God, who by your Providence did lead our forefathers to this land where they found refuge from oppression and freedom to worship you, and who in this land has made the people the ministers of your just rule, turn their hearts to you, that holding their citizenship as a sacred trust, they may guard, defend and use it according to your will. Also, that serving you with willing, joyful and obedient hearts, they may cherish their freedom as a blessing of your Gospel. We beseech you ever to guide our Nation in the way of truth and peace so that we may never fail in the blessing which you have promised to those people whose God is the Lord. We also humbly implore you to regard Newt Gingrich, seeking to be the President of the United States, his counselors, and all others who will be in authority over us; that, guided by your Holy Spirit, they may be high in purpose, wise in counsel, and unwavering in duty; and in the administration of their solemn charge may wholly serve your will, uphold the honor of our Nation, secure the protection of our people, and set forward every righteous cause; through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen."
Folks, we Christians have been remiss in not praying for America. We've been commanded by Jesus Himself to pray for our leaders. This country will fall, or not...depending upon OUR prayers.
This is going to be a daily thread, I need you all to contribute to it. IN PRAYER!!!
Heavenly Father, we come before You as one, asking your forgiveness for our failure to pray. For our failure to stand up for what is right and what is wrong. I ask for your forgiveness. Lord, please bless this country. Help us to all have Your strength to stand up against evil, to speak out for those who are in need of Your salvation. Lord, please give Newt the words he needs, at the time he needs, to fight the onslaught of evil being thrown at him. Please give him YOUR strength. Lord, hear our prayer....In Your Holy Name, Amen!
Morning prayer time....The prayer requests seem to be pouring in this week for our community/nation/world.
Stand together with the Lord and Newt will be standing beside us.
“Two or more” Amen to all the prayers on the thread...
A Psalm About “Character Assassination”: (Especially Verse 4!)
Psalm 62
Song of Trust in God Alone
To the leader: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1. For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2. He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken.
3. How long will you assail a person,
will you batter your victim, all of you,
as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4. Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.
They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.
(Selah)
5. For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6. He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7. On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
8. Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
(Selah)
9. Those of low estate are but a breath,
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
10. Put no confidence in extortion,
and set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11. Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12. and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work.
BTTT: Bump to the top... has a new meaning on this thread?...The top meaning heaven or the Top, the fellow at the top.
Gonna bump with “Amen” for my Baptist ancestors.
I’m starting a novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal today.
May God bless our nation with a leader who will restore our Christian heritage. And may He bless Newt with wisdom & insight, and protect him from all harm both physical & spiritual.
Amen.
Lord, I pray that you continue to bless our nation with the gift of liberty. I pray for Newt Gingrich, that he seek your will for the sake of your glory. May the glory be yours, Lord. Reveal yourself in us and through us, may we be filled with the Holy Spirit. I pray for the political victory of Newt Gingrich, if this is your will.
In the name of your son Jesus Christ, our eternal Saviour and Lord, Amen.
Here is the verse put to music. I hope you enjoy.
I don’t know the Will of God for the outcome of this election. I don’t know if Newt is “the Guy.” All I know is that he is being savaged, just as Cain was and Palin was and other conservatives have been. So on that basis, I DO continue prayers for Newt to be surrounded by angels and the Light of the Lord to protect him from overwhelming unjust smear tactics.
The key, imho is to continue the work of personal repentance and petitions to the Lord for His intercession, which you have called for in this thread. Then, if we truly do that, because He is faithful to those who love Him, He will take command of the process and the outcome.
All Glory to God for all good things!
Prayers continue for the battle in Florida and for America
“....GO NEWT GO ...this is not about picking a president, it’s about the very survival of our country!!”
So true!! My own husband is starting to buy the we have to pick the lesser of two evils Romney thing. Don’t worry, I’m trying not to let him -
Did you know that Ollie North loved that prayer and recited it often when he served in Viet Nam.
This is a great inspiration! Thank you.
Prayers up.
Thank you, dear MissMagnolia.
Thank you, dear MissMagnolia.
Will be saying extra prayers this morning for Newt, Bella, and our continuing freedoms.
Sunday prayers for Newt Gingrich and his patriot supporters.
Lord hear our prayers.
I join in urgent prayer for Newt Gingrich and for our nation!
Amen. :)
Oh, sweetie. I didn’t even know about it. Praying daily for the USA too. I hope we get a good strong conservative as nominee! My favorite is Santorum but if newt is the guy I will support him too. Thanks for your special welcome.
My fervent prayers for America & for God to come to our aid. I feel like there is a modern day David vs. Goliath battle going on in FL & therefore, I offer this Psalm:
Psalm 35 Of David.
1 Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield and armor;
arise and come to my aid.
3 Brandish spear and javelin[a]
against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
“I am your salvation.”
4 May those who seek my life
be disgraced and put to shame;
may those who plot my ruin
be turned back in dismay.
5 May they be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the LORD driving them away;
6 may their path be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
7 Since they hid their net for me without cause
and without cause dug a pit for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise—
may the net they hid entangle them,
may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD
and delight in his salvation.
10 My whole being will exclaim,
“Who is like you, LORD?
You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,
the poor and needy from those who rob them.”
11 Ruthless witnesses come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good
and leave me like one bereaved.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth
and humbled myself with fasting.
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourning
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;
assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
They slandered me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[b]
they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 How long, Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my precious life from these lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;
among the throngs I will praise you.
19 Do not let those gloat over me
who are my enemies without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason
maliciously wink the eye.
20 They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations
against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They sneer at me and say, “Aha! Aha!
With our own eyes we have seen it.”
22 LORD, you have seen this; do not be silent.
Do not be far from me, Lord.
23 Awake, and rise to my defense!
Contend for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, LORD my God;
do not let them gloat over me.
25 Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!”
or say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26 May all who gloat over my distress
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, “The LORD be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant.”
28 My tongue will proclaim your righteousness,
your praises all day long.
