'Praise and Glory, and Wisdom, and Thanks, and Honor, and Power, and Might, be unto our God Forevermore.' (Rev.7:12) 'Thou art Worthy, O Lord, to Receive Glory, and Honor, and Power: for Thou hast Created All Things, and for Thy Will's Sake they are, and have been Created.' (Rev.4:11) How Glorious a God is the Lord our Sovereign King! 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.' (Eph.1:3) Be Praised Forever, our God Who gave us New Life!
Our Mighty One, we Offer Thanksgiving for our Troops. May our Heroes be Empowered, Strengthened, and Kept Safe. By Your Hand, O Lord of Hosts, may our Military be Invincible, through Grace. We Ask that Your Tender Care will Surround them Day and Night. May our Troops Look to Heaven's King for Every Resource they Might Need. We Pray for the Defeat of their Enemies, Great and Holy God. 'Let them be Confounded and Put to Shame Together, that Seek my Soul to Destroy it; let them be Driven Backward and Put to Rebuke that Desire mine Hurt.' (Ps.40:14)
Your Excellency, we Pray for the Peace of Beloved Israel. May Thy Kingdom Come Soon, Lord, and Israel Shine Forth in Thy Love. What Wonderful Days are just Ahead, and how we Love You, Lord Jesus Christ! 'How Great is the Lord! How Much we should Praise Him. He Lives upon Mt. Zion in Jerusalem. What a Glorious Sight! See Mt. Zion Rising North of the City, High Above the Plains for All to See; Mt. Zion, Joy of All the Earth, the Residence of the Great King.' (Ps.48:1,2)
Thank You, our Abba, for Hearing and Answering our Prayers. 'We will Praise God Continually, and will Confess Thy Name Forever.' (Ps.44:8) 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, World Without End. So be it, even So be it.' (Ps.41:13) In Jesus' Name, for the Glory of the Great King of kings, amen.

The urge to misbehave and the desire to be anonymous always visit me together. Like partners making a sales call, they do their best to convince me that I can afford to do something wrong because I won’t have to pay.
Human nature tells us to use the cover of anonymity to avoid taking the blame for the bad things we do. God, however, tells us something else. He wants us to use anonymity to avoid taking credit for the good that we do (Matt. 6:4). Why is it that the urge to remain anonymous seldom accompanies my desire to do good!
The Bible says we’re not to let one hand know the good that the other is doing (vv.3-4). In other words, within the body of Christ our deeds of charity should be done without calling attention to ourselves. This does not mean, however, that God wants good deeds to remain hidden; it just means that they should be done in a way that makes a good name for God, not ourselves (5:16).
When we volunteer our services or make donations to churches and organizations that do good work in the name of Jesus, we receive something much better than honor from our peers. We receive rewards from God, and God receives glory from others! (1 Peter 2:12).

AMEN DEAREST SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice:
cause me to hear it.”
- Song of Solomon 8:13
My sweet Lord Jesus remembers well the garden of Gethsemane, and although
he has left that garden, he now dwells in the garden of his church: there
he unbosoms himself to those who keep his blessed company. That voice of
love with which he speaks to his beloved is more musical than the harps of
heaven. There is a depth of melodious love within it which leaves all
human music far behind. Ten of thousands on earth, and millions above, are
indulged with its harmonious accents. Some whom I well know, and whom I
greatly envy, are at this moment hearkening to the beloved voice. O that I
were a partaker of their joys! It is true some of these are poor, others
bedridden, and some near the gates of death, but O my Lord, I would
cheerfully starve with them, pine with them, or die with them, if I might
but hear thy voice. Once I did hear it often, but I have grieved thy
Spirit. Return unto me in compassion, and once again say unto me, “I am
thy salvation.” No other voice can content me; I know thy voice, and
cannot be deceived by another, let me hear it, I pray thee. I know not
what thou wilt say, neither do I make any condition, O my Beloved, do but
let me hear thee speak, and if it be a rebuke I will bless thee for it.
Perhaps to cleanse my dull ear may need an operation very grievous to the
flesh, but let it cost what it may I turn not from the one consuming
desire, cause me to hear thy voice. Bore my ear afresh; pierce my ear with
thy harshest notes, only do not permit me to continue deaf to thy calls.
To-night, Lord, grant thine unworthy one his desire, for I am thine, and
thou hast bought me with thy blood. Thou hast opened mine eye to see thee,
and the sight has saved me.
Lord, open thou mine ear.
I have read thy heart, now let me hear thy lips.

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Amen in Jesus’ Glorious Name, I ask It!
