Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Oh LORD,
Our God
Hallowed Be Your Most Holy and Sacred Name,
Precious and Holy,
There is No Other,
All-Powerful and Mighty,
Full of Grace, Love, Healing, and Justice
Glorious in Majesty,
Magnificent in Splendor,
Awesome in Power
And Wonderful Beyond Measure

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.

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

If I told you that Today's Song could be called "Dirty Laundry", you might say that John Mellencamp already has a song with that title. However, Handel came up with a song about dirty laundry over 250 years before Mellencamp was born.

You may have noticed that sometimes the Lyrics don't exactly match up with the King James Bible, but SAY exactly the same thing. That's because Mr. Jennens, the Librettist, occasionally lifted his Lyrics from The Book of Common Prayer, which differ slightly in the Rhythm of the Words. (Just to clear things up, if you were checking on it.)

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, was a different place in 1992 than it is today. Known at the time as the location of Richard Burton's secret hideaway with Liz, it was generally unspoiled when I was blessed to visit there in October of that year. The Town had all the modern conveniences, but a little horseback ride into the mountains revealed People living as their ancestors did, hundreds of years ago.

Our room was equipped with a kitchen, so we went to the "El Gigante" Supermarket to get supplies.

There, in the middle of the store, was a huge pyramid of yellow bricks. They were unwrapped, unlabeled, and unadorned. People in Native Clothes were grabbing them and putting them into their baskets. Some were not even buying food, they were just gathering up a couple of yellow bricks and heading up to the register. It was totally weird.

The next day, we went horseback riding up into the Sierra Madre. It was like taking a trip back to the 18th Century. (I have to admit, I was taken aback by the poverty I saw) and the guide told us we would have to go downstream a bit to ford the river. There, in the shallows of the river, were about a dozen women washing their clothes in the river and drying them on the rocks. And there were the big yellow bricks. It was LAUNDRY SOAP!

I can only imagine how harsh this soap was. No perfume, no fabric softeners, and made the old-fashioned way, with Lye. This is the "Fuller's Soap" referred to in this Passage from the Minor Prophet Malachi, and it is linked with another harsh purifying process, The Refiner's Fire.

The link contains a "scene" of the Haggai and Malachi Scriptures, and, in my humble opinion, the Voices in this clip are really excellent.

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

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
