Ps. 9- A Prayer for Humility in our Leaders

2011-12-28T16:06:00Z

Arrogant leaders who abuse their authority are nothing new. David dealt with them, and he can lead us in seeking God's help.

From Today’s Minute, Ps. 9: 17-20:
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.

Waiting On the Lord… Alone

2011-12-27T16:06:00Z

While things may look bleak in life- whether nationally or individually- Ps. 39:7 calls us to look to, and wait upon, and hope in God alone. So we shall.

Ps. 39:7* states And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in Thee.
* As we continue to pray for our future President, it’s interesting to note in the previous verse what troubled David. Ps. 39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
hmmmn… the inspiration of the scriptures!!

Make Room for the King

2011-12-26T17:51:00Z

No room for Jesus in the inn? How about in the U.S. government? in the schools? in the culture? in the military? in the workplace? How about in the church- is there room for Him there? 'Lord, be at home in us... may our hearts be Your royal throne.'

The video quality is atrocious… still working on our many technical changes/difficulties… along with our apologies.

The John Jay Principle of Prayer

2011-12-16T11:56:00Z

Our nation's first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay, had a very clear understanding of what kind of leader should be voted into political office.

For a further look into John Jay’s philosophy of Christian leaders in government:

National Defiance… Again

2011-12-09T17:03:00Z

Our leaders represent our nation before God, and this week has proven once again how fearful a truth that is.

Here’s an article covering this week’s global defiance of God’s word and ways by the U.S. government:

Good to be Back… Praying Together

2011-12-06T17:37:00Z

Whether together or apart, it's a privilege to pray for our nation in the Name of Jesus

The politicians are proving themselves (once again) to be incapable of leading our nation wisely and effectively. God must intervene for our nation to recover… so let’s pray.

On the National Menu- Humble Pie

2011-08-10T15:51:01Z

II Chronicles 7:14 makes it clear as can be- the first step towards national restoration is humility... in God's people.

II Chronicles 7:14 reveals that the fate of our nation is NOT in the hands of the media, nor the bankers, nor the politicians… but HIS PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME. If that’s us, then we must take heed to what opens the door for our prayers to be heard… humility.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The Lord Can Channel Panic Into Seeking Truth

2011-08-09T14:44:00Z

Our nation's financial woes are creating a creeping panic- and an opportunity for the Spirit of God to work in our hearts.

No need to link to the many headlines detailing the national and global panic in the market-place. It’s everywhere, and pretty much everyone is sensing it. Through out scripture, especially in God’s dealings with the nation of Israel, times like these open up great doors for the hand of the Lord to move. We are entering a very key time to intercede for our nation.

The Fool and the Fools

2011-08-08T16:17:00Z

Our nation's being destroyed: Who's to blame? The President? or those who put him in office?

A Prayer for Our Discouraged Poltical Leaders

2011-08-03T16:07:00Z

For any conservative leader in DC, the debt bill represents a huge and overwhelming defeat. Let's ask the Lord to uphold and strengthen those who are engaged in the good fight, and paying the price for their principles.

The disaster of the debt deal explained:

Simple Prayer- Simple Thanks

2011-07-25T16:21:00Z

Looking back on last year's prayers for the newly elected members of the House to stand strong, we should be encouraged by the resolve and backbone those we prayed for are now showing.

There’s no way around it- the liberal/socialist agenda being pushed by the White House and Congress MUST BE STOPPED before our nation is mortally wounded. Political nuance and media spin cannot be allowed to obfuscate the central issue- President Obama’s policies are destroying our nation’s economy along with the foundations of our freedom. He must be firmly withstood by our elected leaders until he is voted out of office. Our prayers are urgently needed.
Here’s an interesting article on our President: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jul/24/curl-is-obama-a-pathological-liar/

Rejoice- South Sudan!!

2011-07-11T14:50:00Z

The birth of the Republic of South Sudan on Saturday is nothing short of a miracle and manifestation of God's mercy. Let's rejoice with those rejoicing and pray for God's grace on the new nation.

Here are a few links to bring you up to speed on South Sudan:

Seeking the Proper Response to Chastening

2011-06-16T16:12:00Z

Let's pray our national response to God's chastening results in spiritual- and not mere political- repentance.

Hebrews 4:1 speaks of responding to God’s Spirit, but not fully- of “coming short” of God’s best for us. As the presidential election season heats up, and as we see increasing evidence of politically repentance, let’s keep asking the Lord to bring about spiritual repentance.

To Properly Respond TO the Truth We Need to HAVE the Truth

2011-06-15T15:57:00Z

Political truth, which comes thru the media, doesn't come easy. Let's pray for those (heroes) fighting to bring truth thru (and despite) the left-wing media bias.

Here’s the Brietbart interview link referred to in Today’s MInute. Be sure to catch Part 2.

There’s No Real Debate- America Must Repent

2011-06-14T16:40:00Z

Last night's GOP debate kicked off the Presidential election season... but the foundational national issue is sin- and the call to prayer and repentance.

Notice in Isaiah 1:15 (below), how God refused to hear prayer that wasn’t preceded by repentance. How much more will He reject our political efforts that lack repentance?
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
