Day 9 of Prayer for Election, 31 to go

O’Lord, Let Us Delight Ourselves In You.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. (Proverbs 15:8) Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (Psalm 37:4)

Dear Lord, You are glorious and all powerful, the almighty King. Father, we are each here in our place where we choose to worship you. We are in awe at the privilege. We look up at Your Face and the radiance of Your presence is beyond description. You are real and You are in this place accepting our worship and prayer. O Lord, great and awesome God, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to Your word and we have not followed your commands. Lord, you are righteous, please forgive us and our nation for our unfaithfulness to you. O LORD, we are sorry Father, for we have sinned against you.

Dear Lord, Your Word says that if we delight ourselves in You, You will give us the desires of our hearts. Please direct our path Lord, both our individual path and the path of our nation and our leaders. Father we pray that Your will and Your way becomes our delight. Lord, fill us with Your spirit, Your power, and Your presence. Father, bind us together as a people of one nation under God. Lord, we pray that each day You will be the glory for all the goodness and blessings that come our way.

We close this prayer by asking for You to shower Your blessings on those with whom we serve. We pray for our national election and for our local government. We pray they will draw closer to You and draw upon Your almighty presence. We pray You would renew their commitment to serve by revealing Your desires to them. We pray they will have a season of a fresh, new awareness of Your beauty and Your ways, and that they will find they have a heart of worship that exceeds anything they ever thought possible. It is all about You, dear Lord and it is You we worship. You alone are worthy. You alone are deserving of our praises.

To You be all the honor and glory, now and for all the rest of our days. AMEN.

Day 8 of Prayer for USA Election

A prayer for election 2012 USA

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:14)

For all Christians the verse above tells us what should constitute our prayer lives: We should pray properly, purposefully and persistently. When all three elements are a part of our prayer lives, they work. We are to align ourselves with God’s will. We are to ask for what we want; we are to be specific. We are to pray persistently. The apostle Paul tells us to pray without ceasing. Every time we pray, God’s mighty power is released and made available to bring victory and breakthrough into even seemingly impossible situations.

Dear heavenly Father,

We love you Lord. You are an awesome and amazing God. You are faithful. You have placed us in the greatest nation in the world. The land of the free! You have blessed us mightily. You are generous beyond anything we can imagine or deserve. We praise you Lord for you are worthy to be praised, you are the King of all Kings, you are above any authority in heaven or on earth, You are creator, redeemer and sustainer.

We confess that we have not bowed before You. We confess we have not acknowledged Your rule in our lives and over our leaders and our nation. We have gone along with the ways of the world and failed to give You glory. Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and the universe.

Father, watch over us this day. Dear Lord, please guide us and strengthen us as we confess our sins to You. Fill us with compassion as we pray for one another and as we pray for the leadership of our great country. Please fill us as we pray for the needs of the world. Please help us to not be judgmental, condemning and prideful. Fill us dear God with your love. Draw us close to you Father; create in us a desire to come to you in prayer every day for Your leadership, love and protection to reign in our lives and throughout our land. We come to you once again and ask for you divine intervention and protection on our national election. Dear God, please heal our land.

Through Jesus Christ we pray, AMEN.

Pray for the United States of America

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:7-8)

Dear Lord we lift your holy name on high. Lord it is you alone that possess life within. You alone are the true source of everlasting, abundant life. We praise you, dear God.

Father we confess to you our lack of fruit-bearing. We as a nation and as a people have been self –absorbed and distracted with selfish activities that bring only temporal value. Forgive us Lord.

We thank you Father for your love and your life and we pray today that we may glorify you Lord. You are the true vine. Live through us that we might bear fruit. Father, even though we are over 2,000 years removed from the night you uttered those words, we know your work still marches forth. We know, Lord, You are still working to accomplish Your work and Your will in the world today. Work through us, Lord.

Help our nation to turn our hearts back to You and Your Word so the United States will bear the fruit of your righteousness and be set above all other nations. Dear Lord, may the fruit we produce be honoring to you and may we bear fruit in abundance for and by you. Father we draw our strength from You. Strengthen us today, Lord. Strengthen us with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Help us Father, as we strive to abide in You and continue in faith that You will do more for us than ever imagined.

God bless the United States of America.

We ask all these things through Jesus Christ.

Amen

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew 28: 19-20)

Thank you for this day Lord. We praise your Holy name. You are the God of all blessings, the source of all life and the giver of all grace. You are the eternal, loving God.

Father, in Matthew you commanded us to make disciples of all nations and we need to begin with ourselves. Lord, please transform our lives and help us to be more like you. Forgive us Lord for our transgressions. You have promised to always be with us and we thank you. Lead us Lord and protect us, protect our country.

Help us to turn our hearts to you with sincerity and courageously spread your good news. Help us to take your message to the ends of the earth. Father we trust in You to fill us and use us for without You we can do nothing. Lord we ask that you place within us your vision for our nation. Open our eyes, dear Lord, so that we may see. Dear Father please help our nation (our people) to make the right choices. Surround us with your love, fill us with your grace, and strengthen us for Your service.

For all our blessings, we give you thanks and through Jesus Christ we pray.

Amen.

36 Days to the Election, Day 5, Oct. 2

A Prayer for our nation.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29: 11-13)

O, God most high, dear almighty Lord we praise you. How wonderful and marvelous you are. How marvelous your creations, the sun and the moon, the light and the darkness, the wind and the rain and all of life. Praise you Father and thank you for another day.
Father we know you are always thinking of us. It is us, Lord, who fail to think of you. Even when we come to you Lord we often come with just a fleeting half-hearted attempt for immediate help. Forgive us Lord for lacking commitment and not seeking you with all of our heart. Forgive us all for our passiveness. Forgive us for coming to you only in times of desperation, for your word says, “The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”, (James 5:16). How many times have we as a people, as a nation been fervent? How many times has our nation been desperate for you? How many times have we come to you with all our hearts? Forgive us Lord and “Heal our Land”.
We thank you Lord for protecting us. We thank you for the way you have provided for us. We know O’God that all we have is from your blessings. We thank you for our founding fathers, our pledge of allegiance, our money, our form of government and the belief of our founding fathers. We know, O’God, your desire is for us to be at peace with you in love and to love and be at peace with those around us. Father we pray for the sound of your spirit. We search for you and ask that you open our eyes that we might see. We ask for help to see what is good, honorable and just for our country and for the protection, security, and success of the United States of America.
Father, we ask through your son, that you “Heal Our Land”.
AMEN

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Deuteronomy 28: 1-3.

Dear Father,

We come to you today with humble hearts so you will hear our voice. We praise you today and always dear Lord. You are the God almighty and the creator or all. You are the great “I AM”.

Father, Please forgive us as a nation for leaving you out. Forgive us for turning from you. Forgive us for no longer being a nation with the fear of the Lord. Dear Lord we love you and need you for our strength and protection.

Dear Lord we thank you for your grace. In days past Lord we have faced similar tests and you have brought us through. Our nation needs you guidance, Lord.

Dear Lord help our nation to hear your voice and to obey your voice in all we say and do. Help us all dear Father to discern clearly right from wrong. Father we pray that all will work for the good concerning our beloved country of the United States and we would glorify you.

We know your will for us Lord, and know we are held to a higher calling, we pray that our nation and our people will observe your commandments. We pray that we will be a nation under God and we pray that your mighty hand of direction and protection be on our nation as we elect leaders in November.

We ask these things through your son Jesus,

The Lord says to call on Him and He will answer.

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

Dear Lord,

We praise you and adore you on this day. You are the most high! Father, you are in control of all things. You allow or appoint our leaders and we come to you for protection.

We thank you Father for the many, many blessings you have bestowed on our nation. We thank you for the prosperity we take for granted.

Dear Lord, help this nation to hear Your voice. Father, place a hedge of protection around our people and our nation and deliver us from evil. Help us, Lord to seek the path of righteousness.

You have asked us Lord to call on Your name and you have promised to answer when we call. Please guide our nation during this time of need. Fill us with your spirit and presence and guide us Lord. Father we need you. Help us to make the decisions that will honor you.

We call upon your name again today Lord and ask for your grace and blessing on this election.

40 Days of Prayer, #1, September 28

40 DAYS TO A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION

Day 1 of 40 days of prayer for our country.

In a daily devotional from this morning my pastor gave this interesting fact: John Jay, PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS; DIPLOMAT; AUTHOR OF THE FEDERALIST PAPERS; ORIGINAL CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE U. S. SUPREME COURT; GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

I pray we can get back this providence and take hold of our duty as a Christian nation.

It is our duty to pray for those who hold elected office in our country. In fact, Scripture commands us to do so.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty”, (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

Dear heavenly Father,

We praise you and acknowledge you as the creator of our universe. We acknowledge the blessings you have bestowed on this land we call the United States of America. We confess our sins Lord and ask forgiveness for forgetting you during these times of need. Please forgive us and our nation for failing you. We thank you Father for allowing us to be born in the land of the free. We thank you for all the riches and grace you have provided throughout history. We come to you respectfully and humbly to give thanks for the blessing we receive daily. Lord, please protect our land and keep us free. Dear Lord, please heal our land. Draw us back to you Lord and allow your strength to restore our nation to a place where we serve and honor You. Father we thank you for the great leaders of the past and ask that you give us a leader on November 6 that will follow the calling You have given us. We thank you once again for all our blessings. In God we Trust. Through your son Jesus Christ we pray,

AMEN

“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”, (2 Chronicles 7:14).

God bless the USA,

“The Tubthumper”

Intercede for America!

I have gone easy on the number of posts over the last week because beginning this Friday I will be submitting a post every day for 40 days. During these 40 days (if you pray, and I hope you do) we need prayer, fasting and turning to God in obedience. We need to ask for God’s help in the selection of our nation’s leadership. If you don’t understand the fasting thing then please just be obedient to God and pray. I will be doing my own ting and I pray you will be doing yours. Let us all humble ourselves and cry out to the Lord with one united voice. We must repent and seek His face.

As Christians it is our duty to pray for those who hold elected office in our country. In fact, Scripture commands us to do so. In 1 Timothy 2, verses 1 and 2 it says, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”

It is also our privilege and our responsibility to vote. After 40 days of prayer, fasting and obedience to God we need to exercise our right and vote. We are at a crucial national, state and local election frontier. We are at a spiritual crossroad and we need to do all we can to elect people who will lead us with Biblical values and return us to our roots. Be sure to register and vote.

Pray for the future of America. We are seeing economic decline in unprecedented terms. We are seeing corruption, secular humanism and attacks on our religious liberties like never before. If you know how to fast do so for prayer and fasting together brings change through the power of God. If you need help regarding the issue of fasting you can seek this great website for guidance http://40daystosaveamerica.com/ . I am not asking you to fast as that is a personal issue. I am asking for prayer. I am asking for a focused daily and consistent prayer for our country. Will you join me for 40 days to lift our country before the creator?

While you pray please remember the presidential election will likely be determined by 7 states. As intercessors, we are to ask for god to move in a mighty way within these states. Please mention them by name as you pray for our God is organized and specific. Ask for Him to move on Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Virginia and Nevada. Certainly do not forget the other states, particularly your own for God can make it happen from anywhere he wishes. I am giving you the human statistical probability as we know it and these states are called the “swing states”.

From the very beginning of America God has moved among us mightily because his movements were preceded by prayer. Over the centuries there have been witnessed triumphs over dark days. Throughout history the presence of God has been invited through our intentional and persistent prayer. The possibilities are endless when we pray! God placed an amazing power in our hands when he gave us the power of prayer and a way to reach the Father. When we humbly seek His face by praying he will answer us and will move to accomplish His desire for our land and for us. Please pray for the direction of our nation. Prayerfully seek His face on a daily basis. Intercede for America. Let us believe our prayers are heard and will make a difference. Let us claim the victory!

Ronald Reagan made a speech to America on February 6, 1986 when he said, “To preserve our blessed land we must look to God…It is time to realize that we need God more than He needs us. Let us, young and old, join together, as did the First Continental Congress, in the first step, in humble heartfelt prayer. Let us do so for the love of God and His great goodness, in search of His guidance and the grace of repentance, in seeking His blessings, His peace, and the resting of His kind and holy hands on ourselves, our nation, our friends in the defense of freedom, and all mankind, now and always.

The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America… Our country is in need of and ready for a spiritual renewal. Today, we utter no prayer more fervently than the ancient prayer for peace on Earth. The Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace…And God bless you all.”

Humanly speaking… we are hopeless. Our only hope is in the mighty hand of God.

Dear Lord, we come to you humbly today and seek your blessing. Help us dear Lord to listen to you and to heed your instruction. Father, we rest in your presence for you are the anchor of our souls. It is You alone dear Lord that we desire and nothing else can take your place. Father we need you, we love you and we praise you. We pray these things through your son Jesus Christ.

Amen

Heal Our Land, 40 Days To Pray

We have an extremely important election this November that needs our attention. I believe in the power of prayer and if ever our nation needed us to intercede with our creator now is the time. I am asking you to join me in 40 days of focused prayer for our nation and our leaders. I am asking all to pray for the healing of our land. Details below…

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”, (2 Chronicles 7:14) There is an absolutely beautiful and appropriate song we sing at church that was taken from this verse and with the name of the title of this post. I am sharing the words with you here.

Heal Our Land by Robin Brooks and Tom Brooks

Lord heal our land, Father heal our land, Hear our cry, And turn our nation back to You
Lord heal our land, Hear us O Lord and heal our land; Forgive our sin, And heal our broken land.

If my people will humble themselves, Humble themselves and pray,
If they seek My face and humble themselves, And turn from their wicked ways
I will hear from heaven, And forgive their sin, I will hear from heaven, And heal their land.

Lord we bow our knee we humble ourselves, Humble ourselves and pray,
Lord we seek Your face, We humble ourselves, And turn from our wicked ways
Father in Your mercy forgive our sin, Father in Your mercy come heal our land.

The Power of Prayer: Right from the beginning of our nation great things have happened due to God’s almighty power and grace toward us. Our land was sustained and protected through the power of prayer. When the early documents were drafted and signed those great men did it prayerfully. We triumphed over many days of darkness by the power of prayer. Through diligent and intentional prayer we have brought the presence of God amongst us. The possibilities are endless when we involve the power of prayer. With God, all things are possible. You and me, we all have an awesome power given to us by God Almighty. As the verse and song says, “When we humbly seek His face through prayer our Lord will act on our behalf and will work His will for us. When we pray for our leaders and for the direction of our nation we can have God’s power to change the direction our nation moves toward.

Please join me in a daily prayer beginning Friday, September 28 and culminating on election-day, Tuesday, November 6, 2012. This is the most critical election in many years for our nation. Join me as we pray for the United States of America, for our leaders and those to be elected to shape the future of our country. Let us claim the promise within 2 Chronicles 7:14. Let’s come together in humility and call upon His name.

Yo, Christian, You’ve got a hit out on you!

I was out at a local eatery with my wife a few days ago when somehow our conversation turned to the Muslim Brotherhood, Muslims and Islam. My wife said, “Why do they come here, they don’t like anything about the US or us? My reply was quick and easy. “They are here because they are on a mission”. This mission they are on is not a secret. From as far back as I remember Muslims have always hated the Christians. It has always been death to the Christians. Turn to Islam or die.

When I hear of all that is going on around us regarding the Muslim Community it gets my guard up. My guard is up because I am a Christian and I know there is a hit out on me. There is also a hit out on you, if you love and worship Christ. (And you, and you, and you… all of us.) It doesn’t stop with us, all other religions are on their target too and most importantly the Jews. The goal for them is to have Islam be the only remaining people. I know it won’t happen. In the end they will get theirs. It’s only the interim I get concerned about.

There are a number of very prominent and well know ministers of the protestant faiths that are promoting an insane idea that you can integrate the Muslims into our worship services treating them with love. While I do subscribe to the bible’s teaching of love your neighbor I know what is dangerous and what isn’t. It is clearly dangerous stupidity to think that Muslims will be converted or will come to our way of thinking. If they accept an invitation in it will be for one reason only. Their goal would be to gain more ammunition and positioning to accomplish their mission. I was born with a lot of common sense too. And it aint rocket science here brother!

That brings me to one of the news items of our day.

Islam: Religion Of Peace Wants To Wipe Christianity From Face Of The Earth!

This very point was made publicly by a leading Muslim cleric recently. This piece of news clearly backs up what I have known all along. I hope all those Pastors and Preachers from the watered down Christianity of today are listening. Heads up boys! It’s war!

There is available a 23 page declaration recently produced by Sheik Farook Al-Mohammedi of the United Muslim Nations International. This booklet very clearly spells out their goal to Islamize western civilization and set up the Islamic Caliphate as the global religion and government. I think I should send one to each of the mega-church pastors I am thinking of now. Here you can see a small sample of what Sheik Farook Al-Mohammedi has published in this little gem of a booklet:

“Christianity should be destroyed and wiped from the face of the earth. It is an evil demonic and Anti-Christ system, all Christians are in complete Ignorance.”

“Islamic Power has returned upon the face of the earth and the Revived Global Caliphate has set eyes on the West to once and for all rid the world of Christianity and there is nothing you can do about it. I have pledged and made a firm promise to the Caliphate of the United Muslim Nations International organization that I will do my utmost to Islamize all of the West within a short period of time…”

“Firstly we will deal with the matter of the Global Islamic Civilization, its honored status, the unrivaled Universal Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Muslim Ummah. Islam the only true religion enjoins upon mankind Total Submission to the will of Allah, which means that you are to live a life that is Totally Devoted to the Almighty Allah by serving Him in the manner which He has prescribed for us through the example of the Holy Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam…”

“Today as I breathe the air of our newly found Islamic State of America before my trip this week to Eurabia I leave behind me an Internationalist Islamic Ideology which will be the future of America and Europe Inshallah.”

“None will resist, you will submit! Islam will conquer the hearts of all christiandom, this is a definite reality. Every government has surrendered to the Revived Global Caliphate and those nations who resist will be placed under a police state within their realm.”

The Islamic community tries to paint a picture that it is a religion of peace. This is not true. They are only peaceful among their own. Take a look at the incident recently where a group of Muslims turned violent toward some Christian protestors. Islam is a religion of absolute power and domination. They worship Allah, a false prophet, according to the Holy Bible, which is my guide. I heard the other day that this false prophet was actually a black stone but I need to look more into that one.

The Islamic world once was in a distant land and only a few were around. This is no longer true. In fact, they are multiplying like rabbits. They have infiltrated out capital and our government by way of duping the weak minded and easily led politicians running our country now. The Muslims are right next door, they are your neighbors.

The migration of millions of Muslims into the West and the terrorists that came with them is one of the most serious threats we face today. Wake up Christian America, there is a hit out on you. And we didn’t go looking for trouble, but this trouble has come looking for us as they promised.

Eventually, Islam will be destroyed. The Bible prophesies that God will pour out judgment upon the Arab nations in the end times for their hostility towards the Jews and their attempt to claim the Jewish homeland as their own.

In almost every OT book, there’s End Time prophecy of some nations getting judged. They are always the same ones.. all of them Muslim. Here we have a sort example: Babylon (Iraq/Arabia) Isaiah 13, Assyria and Philistine Isaiah 14, Moab Isaiah 15, Damascus Isaiah 17, Cush (Somalia) Isaiah 18. Egypt Isaiah 19, Egypt and Cust Isaiah 20, Babylon Edom Isaiah 21 Tyre (Lebanon) Isaiah 23; Ezekiel 28-32 Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Turkey, Arabia, Iraq, Iran; Psalms 83: Edom (Jodan/Arabia) Moab (Jordan), Gebal (Lebanon), Tyre (Lebanon), Philistia, Ishmaelites Hagarites (Arabs) Assyria (Iraq, Syria), Amalek (Jordan); Ezekiel 38 Gog Magog (Turkey), Meshech (Turkey), Tubal (Turkey), Gomer (Turkey), Beth Togarmah (Turkey), Persia (Iran), Cush (Sudan/Somalia), Put (Libya).

As I said, “In the end they are doomed”. There is no partiality with God. He chose the Jews not to be a repository of His blessings, but to be a vehicle through which He would bless all the nations of the world, including the Arabs. But, the fundamental requirement to receive God’s blessings for both, Jew and Arab as well as all people is to accept God’s gift of love in Jesus by receiving Him as Messiah.

The Tribulation will settle things folks. But what happens between now and then. How much must we endure? We need to take bakc our land. They will destroy us along their path if we let them. I mentioned in a previous post that it is time we as Christians need to stand up and fight for our Christian faith and come back to “In God We Trust”.

Get out this fall and vote for Christian leaders. Pray and vote your mind. Remember that God is still in control and is not finished. All the leaders placed in office are of His will or they are allowed by Him for His purpose.

“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers”, John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

ObamaCare + Abortion = Repeal

ObamaCare + Abortion = Repeal

This coming Wednesday, July 11, the House of Representatives will be voting on a bill to repeal the recently enacted ObamaCare and turn back the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade. The bill which is titled the Repeal of ObamaCare Act – repeals the entirety of President Obama’s massive pro-abortion tax hike on the American people.

We all need to write or call our representatives and let our voice be heard. I did that just a few minutes ago.

When the Supreme Court, or shall we say, “Chief Justice Roberts” upheld the ObamaCare or what I will prefer to call the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it represents a massive pro-abortion tax increase on the American people. I can see why he is out of the country right now hiding on an island.

The act is known in Congress as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and to me that is better than constantly tacking Obama on the name. (I have my own reasons.)

It violates our religious liberty and is bad policy for America. There is evidence that a majority of Americans believe the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act should not be the law of the land. Write your congressman and legislature and urge them to vote on July 11th to repeal pro-abortion ObamaCare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act).

Although the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became the new health law of the land last week, it can still be repealed. To achieve that, it is up to us Americans to take action. The majority of Americans continue to oppose the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and want its repeal. It is up to that majority to effectuate their will at the ballot box this November and to continue to apply political pressure to ensure that their elected officials do what they were elected to do: repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The justices actually rewrote the act in order to pass it. The majority’s rewriting of the individual mandate as a tax did not escape the attention of the four dissenting Justices. Those four Justices had determined that the entire Act should be invalidated. They correctly explained that “to say that the Individual Mandate merely imposes a tax is not to interpret the statute but to rewrite it, they decided to save a statute Congress did not write.” By upholding the Affordable Care Act the majority has allowed one of the biggest tax increases in American history to stand. The Act includes twenty new or higher taxes on families and small businesses. This tax increase will take place despite the fact that President Obama pledged that he would not raise taxes on any American making less than $250,000, which is most Americans, and assured Americans that the individual mandate was not a tax.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act increases taxpayer funding for abortion, violates religious liberty with an abortion-pill mandate, and imposes an abortion surcharge on insurance plans.

While President Obama promised that nothing in the law would fund elective abortion, the law expands the role of the Federal Government in funding and facilitating abortion and plans that cover abortion. The law appropriates billions of dollars in new funding without explicitly prohibiting the use of these funds for abortion, and it provides Federal subsidies for health plans covering elective abortions. Moreover, the law effectively forces millions of individuals to personally pay a separate abortion premium in violation of their sincerely held religious, ethical, or moral beliefs.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, violates our religious liberty, forcing employers and insurance companies to cover abortion-pills against their religious beliefs.

Please write to your legislature and get as many people as you can to watch this video.

The Act is rife with problems and impossibilities which would eventually lead us to the same socialized health care as in Europe which would be disastrous to the United States.

We must repeal this Act before it’s too late!

Freedom or slavery; citizens or subjects?

Part of celebrating Independence Day is remembering why our forefathers fought and what they accomplished. Thanks to them, we live in the greatest country in the world.

Two hundred thirty-six years ago this Fourth of July, 57 men signed the document that created the American republic. They represented a people of about 3 million grouped in a series of 13 colonies along the eastern seaboard of the United States. They were all sought by the commander of the British forces in North America for sedition and treason. It was a group of wanted men. The commander had behind him the resources of the greatest military power on earth. The wanted men had behind them the beginnings of a government from scratch, they had no army to speak of, but they had something mighty in the way of a dream for freedom and independence.

There was no way for them to know they were beginning the greatest constitutional republic in history. The republic they began has influence around the world like none other. The constitution this republic designed provides freedom to its citizens like nothing created before and for all those years has continued to do so. There is nothing that has ever matched it and nothing ever will.

What is common among us now is a denial of what made our country the great rock that it is. Our current President has been since he was elected in denial of the Constitution of the United States and has stuck to his assertion that the US Constitution is open to change. He says, “It allowed for protests, movements, and the assimilation of new ideas that would repeatedly, decade after decade, change the world—a constant forward movement that continues to this day.” He believes there is neither form nor firmness in the constitution. He believes all is fluid. Our current standing President takes the position that this liberates us to do whatever we will. He has deliberately broken the constitution many times and our great country is guilty of “willful blindness”.

We as a country have slid a long way down the greased slide toward hell. We have allowed some to erase the major advancement we have enjoyed in the past. Our current government, under our current leadership is growing so fast and furious that we are almost to the point where our government will have more resources than those it governs. Once it reaches that point it may well never be possible to reverse it. It will also be a defeat of democracy, freedom and independence.

Please look at your rights. When they are denied to you, and if the United States continues on its current path, they will and you will feel the oppression quickly. The original principles of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution put every man and woman that has been deprived of their rights in the same place as the Founders on July 4, 1776. Please, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are precious and need to be protected. They are the principles of the United States. Much blood was spilled to obtain them. They are now in jeopardy.

Pray for the healing of our land. Pray for the leadership of our country. Take a stand for what you believe. Be active by voting and supporting the ideals of your choice. I hope freedom is your choice. It is mine. Never in our nation’s rich history have we seen a President who so completely and blatantly disregards our constitution and the laws set in place. If this recklessness is allowed to continue, we will fundamentally lose our nation. Our rights as individuals will be overwhelmed by statism — with every last action being dictated by federal mandates and taxes. And our states will simply become part of federal authority to carry out its desires.

We have an election in just four months. It’s time WE THE PEOPLE take a stand! If we sit by silently in the face of this latest direct assault on the rights of the people we will lose all we have and end up with a “Soviet” style government with unlimited power to take away our rights.

Please pray for our nation. Pray that we get back to what began this great land. It began with a desire to have religious freedom and to worship God our own way. It is very unfortuneate for us that mainstream America has forgotten about God. Yes, we as a nation have forgotten God. Paul tells us in Romans 13:1, “Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.” Please wake up and remember God.

Here is a prayer done in the senate on the 4th of July 1861. I truly wish we could have a prayer like this today. Review it and ponder just awhile on how far we have fallen away from God.

The following prayer was offered by Rev. Byron Sunderland, D.D. on July 4, 1861 before the opening session of the U.S. Senate. Almighty and everlasting God, be not angry with us for our sins, which we only confess and deplore; but pardon our offenses and extend to us Thy favor. We thank Thee for Thy goodness on this anniversary of the nation a day tenfold more precious by reason of our present troubles, and sacred to the heart for the ever memorable Declaration of our fathers, in which Thou didst begin more openly to give us a name among the nations of the earth. We thank Thee for all Thy manifold and abundant mercies hitherto to make our nation exceedingly great and glorious; but now disasters have befallen us and darkness broods in the land. And now we ask Thy mercy as the Senate is convening at a most momentous crisis of our history. Give to Thy servants all needed help. Add to their deliberations wisdom and unanimity, and profit and speed to their conclusion. Bless Thy servant, the President of the United States, our veteran Commander-in-Chief, and all that have functions in the civil and military power. May the angel of Thy presence walk in the Cabinet and in the Congress and in the camp, to go before, to purify, and to direct the now greatly and universally-awakened love of country. And we beseech Thee to guide us, to overrule and order all things, and so to cause that nothing shall fail, that the disorders of the land may be speedily healed, that peace and concord may prevail, that truth and righteousness may be established, and that Thy Church and Kingdom may flourish in a larger peace and prosperity, for Thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen. (Source: Congressional Globe, 37th Congress, first session, new series, 1, 4 July 1861.) (Contributor: American.edu)
