Thank God for Rick Warren

Just saw the dateline interview with Rick Warren. I am so pleased that we have this man as a national figure. It is about time that those of us that believe in Jesus get the black eye to start to heal. I read on Fox news about Ted Haggard and I pray that he has repented for his sins. But his acts were just not good because people trusted in him. Rick Warren Just like Billy Graham have not ever had scandal around them. I believe we as Christians have to rethink the way things we have been doing. What a role model Rick is for those that name Christ as Lord and savior.

 

Prayer:

Lord thank you for Rick please give him humility, wisdom, and strength. I ask that Rick’s actions will make everyone think of how they follow you Lord. Give Barack and Rick safety while they attempt to do what is right. Most of all that your will be done. Thank you Jesus.

Please Look and Pray

Here we are only 54 days till Barack Obama is sworn into office. I am asking for all people that want change and are bible believing Christian’s in Jesus Christ to pray.

There is a web-site www.change.gov   and I went on it and sent a message it is Barack’s web-site I urge everyone to do the same. We have to make a change and now it is time. We all even as Christians may not agree and we will not, but we have to do what God has commanded and that is PRAY. I again will do my best to stick to my commitment of four years to draw people of faith together for prayer.

This not a small task but a needed one. Let’s give the Lord some prayers to see that we are not just superficial PEW POTATOES or his FROZEN CHOSEN. Let our father in heaven see that we are on fire and not lukewarm. I think we all know what He does with those who are lukewarm. Please seek out your passion and your talents and use them for the kingdom work, never forgetting that the Lord is still on the throne.

 
 

I encourage all who read this to first get on your knees and ask your savior to forgive you of your hidden sins. This hits me because I have to put my money where my mouth is. God will heal our land IF we humble ourselves and tell him we are wrong and come to Him on His terms. NO MORE EXCUSES!

The great evangelist D.L. Moody was told as a young man “The world has YET to SEE what the Lord WILL DO with a man or woman that is FULLY CONCECRATED to HIM (JESUS)

Please no matter how you do it just pray and lets all try to find our part in how to make our country a better place to live. The main goal I see is to bring back a standard of what is right and wrong. It cannot be just abstract thoughts in the wind blowing where ever it wants. That is what has been going on for quite some time now.

THE CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU!

Thank you again and I hope this letter finds all who read it well,

I have set up a web-site for what I think us as Christians are commanded to do. I hope it can be a place to bring everyone in the faith together. We have to become relevant in this country again. I believe we have taken a lot of heavy hit over the last 20 plus years. This is the time for us to show are “ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN OUR WORDS.” So please pray about how you can get involved more in our country. If my website is not the place for you to get involved, that is ok. God is looking for people who will stand up for Jesus Christ.

    Please I implore you to get involved PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY some more.

New Website [Pray 4 Obama]

I wanted to write that I have started a new blog site. It is going to be devoted to praying for our new President Obama. I am calling all who call themselves Christians to do as we are commanded by God in the book of Romans. The web address is www.nationalobamaprayer.org. I will be finding ways to encourage people and getting information about the progress of our new president. As always comments are welcomed and any help will be appreciated. We have to as the body of Christ come together and not be LUKEWARM anymore. Thank you for your time in reading this and tell your friends.

Rom 13:1-7

Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God. 2 So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do good and you will have its approval. 4 For government is God’s servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong. 5 Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience. 6 And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God’s public servants, continually attending to these tasks. 7 Pay your obligations to everyone: taxes to those you owe taxes, tolls to those you owe tolls, respect to those you owe respect, and honor to those you owe honor.

PRAYER
   I pray Lord that you will take hold of each one of us that claims to be a devoted follower of you to do our part. That we will stop making the excuses we all know we make. Your word says Judgment has to come in the house of God first. We acknowledge our weaknesses that we cannot do anything apart from you. You have said, “I will build my church!” Help us to see every opportunity to get in to the good fight that you have prepared before the foundation of the earth. Lord put urgency in all of your children’s hearts to do the hard work of knowing you and your will. Forgive us Lord all for being LUKEWARM and sitting in our holy huddles while the world is dying in their sins and we have the answers to restore them to you. Thanks you that even today we still have FREE SPEECH and can worship without fear of death yet. Help the USA become that city on hill a beacon of light once again. In Jesus Christ name Amen.
May each one who reads this take to heart God word and ask Him to show you where your place is to work for him. God Bless each one who calls on the name of Christ for Salvation.

Please we need to do as God has commanded and really step out to show people the truth.

 

Thank you,
