Pray for our American Heroes

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Psalm 61:2-4

Father, we are continually reminded that we can look only to You for our deliverance, our shelter and our strong tower from our enemies. Therefore, we abide in You and Your Word as You abide in us forever. We verbalize and commit our trust in You alone today.

We bring our freedom fighters to Your throne in intercession and thank You for providing each hero. In intercession, we tuck them safely under the cover of Your wings as we know that those wings are strong enough and large enough to care for each one. Guide their every step and action as You lead them in victory. Cleanse each heart from resentment and bitterness, leaving Your peace and confidence. Heal bodies and souls for Your glory and Your service. Through Your glorious Holy Spirit, may they know that Jesus alone is Lord and their Savior, Healer, Peace and Protection.

**

We also pray for Matthew and Anita Staver of the Liberty Counsel. (They are a nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and the traditional family.) Bless You, our God, for these people You have raised up to defend us. We are so very grateful. May they enjoy Your favor and success in their war for righteousness in our Nation. We ask that the favorable knowledge of those successes would reach our public and, particularly, Your people. Their work is a great encouragement to us. Meet their financial needs and help them make maximum use of their time so that they can have enough time to rest in You and Your glorious presence. Strengthen them physically. We call them blessed so they can be the blessing to which You’ve called them.

We honor You today as King of all and righteous altogether. Let Your kingdom come, Sir, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duties.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!

“He that loveth not knoweth not God.”
- 1 John 4:8

The distinguishing mark of a Christian is his confidence in the love of
Christ, and the yielding of his affections to Christ in return. First,
faith sets her seal upon the man by enabling the soul to say with the
apostle, “Christ loved me and gave himself for me.” Then love gives the
countersign, and stamps upon the heart gratitude and love to Jesus in
return. “We love him because he first loved us.” In those grand old ages,
which are the heroic period of the Christian religion, this double mark
was clearly to be seen in all believers in Jesus; they were men who knew
the love of Christ, and rested upon it as a man leaneth upon a staff whose
trustiness he has tried. The love which they felt towards the Lord was not
a quiet emotion which they hid within themselves in the secret chamber of
their souls, and which they only spake of in their private assemblies when
they met on the first day of the week, and sang hymns in honour of Christ
Jesus the crucified, but it was a passion with them of such a vehement and
all-consuming energy, that it was visible in all their actions, spoke in
their common talk, and looked out of their eyes even in their commonest
glances. Love to Jesus was a flame which fed upon the core and heart of
their being; and, therefore, from its own force burned its way into the
outer man, and shone there. Zeal for the glory of King Jesus was the seal
and mark of all genuine Christians.
Because of their dependence upon Christ’s love they dared much, and
because of their love to Christ they did much, and it is the same now.
The children of God are ruled in their inmost powers by love-the love of
Christ constraineth them; they rejoice that divine love is set upon them,
they feel it shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given
unto them, and then by force of gratitude they love the Saviour with a
pure heart, fervently.
My reader, do you love him? Ere you sleep give an honest answer to a
weighty question!

C.H.SPURGEON

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

I hope everyone goes to the link, too..I just found the thread..Dusty has been on my heart and in my prayers since I first read of it on the Canteen.
I felt the need to enlist more prayer warriors.

Praise the Name Of Jesus! I agree with your prayer in the Perfect Name of Jesus Christ! I gladly join in prayer with you for the Stavers. May the Blood of Jesus cover them and protect them especially now as they confront the evil in our government on a daily basis in Jesus Name,amen.
