what have we done to deserve them?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We failed to uphold the Constitution and prevent the Kenyan from Indonesia from the office the Constitution says he may not hold.

Forfeit part, lose all.

And we have failed to pray as though all depends on God (which it does!)...
...while working as though it all depends on us.

I hear a lot about prayers to GOD on FR, I don’t think that GOD meddles much in the politics of MEN.

I pray to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for my immortal soul; to keep me on the straight and narrow path of honesty and truth.

I believe that JESUS is the SON OF GOD and that I should try as hard as I am able to walk in HIS path.

Being an imperfect man, I am quite certain that I often don’t measure up to the expectations of my SAVIOR.

I don’t believe that prayers for our great nation, in politics or war mean a great deal to the LORD ALMIGHTY, those prayers are self serving after all.

The LORD GOD gave men FREE WILL, to do good or evil; a moderately sized number of people have chosen to do evil for monetary gain or self aggrandizement, a great number of people have chosen to do nothing to bring attention to themselves in the futile hope that they will be the last to suffer.

The first group of people will suffer the consequences of their actions, unfortunately only after they have caused much suffering and despair on the part of that second group of people.

The smallest group of people who try to raise the alarm and warn of the consequences of inaction have been pretty well segregated and almost silenced by by BOTH of the first two groups.

By the first group out of a desire for control, power, and personal gain; by the second group out of fear of social repercussions, ignorance and just plain cowardice.

I hope and believe that I am in that third group; I do not fear social ostracizing (couldn’t care less what other people think of me), don’t care about their personal attacks, if met with violence, I will respond with violence. I will no longer turn the other cheek and I will not be silent.

I do what I can in my very small part of the world to enlighten my neighbors about what is happening in the local, state, and federal government; to explain what different policies are being created and instituted and how those policies will affect our lives.

Some listen and get engaged, some don’t listen, some just don’t care.

AMERICA PRAYER VIGIL (April 29, 2021) *PRAYER*
Free Republic ^ | 4/29/2021 | Free Republic Intercessors

Posted on 4/28/2021, 10:03:56 PM by stars & stripes forever

Join together with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2
