'Blessed be the Name of the Lord from Henceforth and Forever. Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath His Dwelling On High?' (Ps.113:2,5) We are So Thankful, Father, that You Forgave us All of our Sins. Thank You for Leaving Your Beautiful Heaven to Come and Rescue Your Lambs. We will Praise You Forever, Master, for Pouring Out Your Life for Your Sheep. 'Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain, to Receive Power, and Riches, and Wisdom, and Strength, and Honor, and Glory, and Praise.' (Rev.5:12)
May Your Hand, Lord, Always Rest Over our Beloved Troops. Throughout this Earth, in Every Place, May they be Surrounded Daily with Your Grace. May Jesus' Power and Strength, Lord, be Granted to Every Man. May the Lord of Hosts be their Invincible Shield. We Pray that Every Man Trusts in Heaven's Great King. For our Military we Pray Romans 8:31,32, 'If God be for us, who can be Against us? He that Spared not His Own Son, but Delivered Him Up for us all, how shall he not with Him also Freely Give us All Things?' May our Men be Blessed, Dear Father and Lord of our Hearts.
Your Excellency Most Kind, we Ask for a Revival for our Land. May Godly Men Come Forth, who will Return us to our Founders Ideals. Please Stymie the Daily Evils, Father, that Obama is Trying to Do. Please Save us, Lord, to the Glory and Praise of Thy Name.
Thank You, our Abba, for Hearing and Answering our Prayers. We Continue to Ask for Comfort for the Families of the Attack at Ft. Hood. May our Shepherd's Healing be with them, and Fill their Spirits with Peace.
In Jesus' Name, for the Glory and Praise of our King, amen.

amen
I was driving through the countryside when I spotted a church building whose name surprised me. It said, “The Galatia Church.” The name caught my attention because I was certain no one would choose to name a church this unless it was a geographic necessity.
A study of the biblical book of Galatians reveals that it is Paul’s most fiery letter—criticizing the people for legalism, self-effort, and the exchange of grace for a different gospel. Galatia was not exactly the kind of church that you would see as an example to be followed.
This is true because the Galatians were trying to please God through their own efforts rather than by reliance on Him. Paul’s charge against them was this: “Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” (3:3).
Just as we cannot earn a relationship with God by our works, neither can we develop spiritually through our own strength. Paul’s reminder to the Galatians (and us) is this: Dependence on God through the work of the Spirit in our lives is at the core of our walk with Christ.
If we think we can become like Jesus by our own efforts, we are, like the Galatians, fooling ourselves.

AMEN DEAREST SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN BRETHREN!
“To preach deliverance to the captives.”
- Luke 4:18
None but Jesus can give deliverance to captives. Real liberty cometh from
him only. It is a liberty righteously bestowed; for the Son, who is Heir
of all things, has a right to make men free. The saints honour the justice
of God, which now secures their salvation. It is a liberty which has been
dearly purchased. Christ speaks it by his power, but he bought it by his
blood. He makes thee free, but it is by his own bonds. Thou goest clear,
because he bare thy burden for thee: thou art set at liberty, because he
has suffered in thy stead. But, though dearly purchased, he freely gives
it. Jesus asks nothing of us as a preparation for this liberty. He finds
us sitting in sackcloth and ashes, and bids us put on the beautiful array
of freedom; he saves us just as we are, and all without our help or merit.
When Jesus sets free, the liberty is perpetually entailed; no chains can
bind again. Let the Master say to me, “Captive, I have delivered thee,”
and it is done for ever. Satan may plot to enslave us, but if the Lord be
on our side, whom shall we fear? The world, with its temptations, may seek
to ensnare us, but mightier is he who is for us than all they who be
against us. The machinations of our own deceitful hearts may harass and
annoy us, but he who hath begun the good work in us will carry it on and
perfect it to the end. The foes of God and the enemies of man may gather
their hosts together, and come with concentrated fury against us, but if
God acquitteth, who is he that condemneth? Not more free is the eagle
which mounts to his rocky eyrie, and afterwards outsoars the clouds, than
the soul which Christ hath delivered.
If we are no more under the law, but free from its curse, let our liberty
be practically exhibited in our serving God with gratitude and delight.
“I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my
bonds.
“ “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?”

SOLI DEO GLORIA!
Dear Father,
We ask you to hold our troops in the palm of Your hand.
Keep them from temptation, and safe from the wiles of a wicked and vicious enemy.
We ask You to protect them, encourage them, strenghthen them, and give them the victory.
In Jesus Name.
Amen
I join in prayer for our heroes!
