Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles. (2 Chronicles 32:7-8)
We keep our Freedom Fighters always in our hearts. By Your grace, protect them, comfort them, guide them and lead them in Your triumph. We thank You for each one who has set aside his own agenda and plans for our greater good. We pray for a blessing for each one and his family awaiting his return. Cover them with Your wings. Show them how to be victorious. Keep them in Your peace. Sanctify them spirit, soul and body.
Send them Chaplains called by Your name to minister Your knowledge and grace to them. Truly let them be, like Paul, given grace “to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Eph 3:8-11). Thank you for Word-bearers such as this.

We pray today for Representative Michelle Bachman and ask You for her success as she labors to repeal public funding of ACORN. Thank You for giving her vision, courage and strength in this good work. May she have favor and may our people and her co-workers in Washington see truth and wisdom. Father, we don’t know if she is born again, so we ask You to enlighten the eyes of her understanding. Send her Your Word and laborers to bring her to the knowledge of the truth that Jesus is Lord. If she is one of Your children, let that rich Word cause her to grow spiritually and increase in the knowledge of You. Let there be time in her life, Sir, for You.
We bless You today and affectionately praise You for Who You are. Thank You for showing our military and our Country Your mercy. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling.”
- 2 Timothy 1:9
The apostle uses the perfect tense and says, “Who hath saved us.”
Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons
who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are
already saved. Salvation is not a blessing to be enjoyed upon the dying
bed, and to be sung of in a future state above, but a matter to be
obtained, received, promised, and enjoyed now. The Christian is perfectly
saved in God’s purpose; God has ordained him unto salvation, and that
purpose is complete. He is saved also as to the price which has been paid
for him: “It is finished” was the cry of the Saviour ere he died. The
believer is also perfectly saved in his covenant head, for as he fell in
Adam, so he lives in Christ. This complete salvation is accompanied by a
holy calling. Those whom the Saviour saved upon the cross are in due time
effectually called by the power of God the Holy Spirit unto holiness: they
leave their sins; they endeavour to be like Christ; they choose holiness,
not out of any compulsion, but from the stress of a new nature, which
leads them to rejoice in holiness just as naturally as aforetime they
delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were
holy, but he called them that they might be holy, and holiness is the
beauty produced by his workmanship in them. The excellencies which we see
in a believer are as much the work of God as the atonement itself. Thus is
brought out very sweetly the fulness of the grace of God.
Salvation must be of grace, because the Lord is the author of it: and
what motive but grace could move him to save the guilty? Salvation must be
of grace, because the Lord works in such a manner that our righteousness
is for ever excluded.
Such is the believer’s privilege-a present salvation; such is the
evidence that he is called to it-a holy life.
