🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(12/18/25)[Prayer]

The Scriptures in Handel’s “Messiah”
Romans 8:31-34

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Holy Bible, The King James Version

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem


Our Father in Heaven,
Magnified and Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name!
For You Alone Are Worthy,
You Alone Are LORD,
You Alone Are The One True God.
We Come into Your Presence With Singing
And Into Your Courts With Praise,
For Your Are Eternal,
Omnipotent,
And Righteous,
Our Creator,
and The Creator of All That Is!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

”The Greatest Of these Is Love.”

As most of you know already, I started learning to play guitar back in 1963 when I was 11 years old. At the time, my Dad was into "Folk" music, which wasn't "Folk" Music at all, but the work of modern singer-songwriters who drew upon the real folk music of England, Mexico, and the USA to produce a genre which, for a while, eclipsed Blues, R&B, and Rock and Roll. Dad had records of The Kingston Trio, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and the Highwaymen. Most of these songs had only three chords, no bridge, and were repetitive, so they were easy to learn. Dad didn't like Bob Dylan so much, but I did. His songs were so easy that, if I could remember the lyrics, I could perform them instantly.

Then, one evening, on February 9th 1964, the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. I loved their music, but they used a whole lot more than three chords.

One thing I really liked about the Beatles was that they didn't seem to have a Political Agenda like the Folk Genre did. That made their music a lot more fun to sing, instead of the dour, angry, "Protest Songs" of the Early Sixties.

Ironically, my current Repertoire contains both Beatles and Dylan songs. Not only does mine, but 90% of the entertainers in my area do songs from the 1960's and 70's. It even has a new Genre Name. It's called "Classic Rock". Who knew?

The reason for this long introduction is that Dylan had a song way back in the day called "With God on Our Side". It was anti-war and anti-military, seven minutes long and (ahem, sorry Bob) very boring. But it does make a point that, in a war, everybody thinks that God is on their side.

Now, let's listen to Today's Aria from the Messiah.

"If God Be For Us".

Is the Soprano actually singing "God is on our side"? That seems a little bit like the hubris of medal-bespangled general in the War Room in the movie "Dr. Strangelove".

Does God really take sides in a war? From the Dawn of Time, Nations have gone to War with the Slogan "God is on Our Side", but How Many times has that actually been TRUE? God is only on the Side of Those Who Place Their Trust in Him. There are numerous examples in the Bible of the Israelites storming off to Battle in their own strength, and end up being defeated. Then there are other examples of a Warrior (such as Gideon) with very few resources, Trusting totally in God and receiving Victory from His Hand.

The Battle in The Letter to the Romans is a Spiritual battle. We wrestle, not with flesh and blood, but with serried ranks of spiritual enemies. Therefore, our weapons can't be the ones that the world offers, such as pop psychology, cleverness, will-power, or mantras. But if we are With Him, and In Him, and Through Him, we can do all things through Christ Who Strengthens Us.

So the solution to this puzzle is simple. It is not "Is God on My Side?", but rather "Am I On God's Side?".

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

It WOULD be a little hard to SING it though.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,

Amen to your prayer and story. I favored the Byrds at that age, kinda folksy and Dylany. More melodic than HARD rock.
Not much of a classic fan, kinda stiff for me, a simple minded soul. But great stories. Thank you. And Lord Jesus our nations need your hand of correction, Amen.

I loved the Byrds too.

I have a few of their albums, even to this day...on VINYL!

So the solution to this puzzle is simple. It is not "Is God on My Side?", but rather "Am I On God's Side?". Good one!
