Please pray

I received this email this morning from a church family member who forwarded it to me. I thought it was very well written and so true that I wanted to share on my blog. Like so many others I also understand that we are "going the wrong way"! Everything that generations before us sacrificed for is being let go. Why? We are now paying more for things that are bad for us. The money we spend is going to other countries and we are losing the ability to make a living for ourselves and our families. The processed food that is being made available to us is poisoning our bodies. If something is better for us it costs 1/3 more. Are they telling us they want us to be sick? Think about it.

With the rapidly aging "baby boomers" that will be needing health care, it is now on the chopping block. Family structure is also rapidly falling apart. No time to pray together let alone eat together. What we once viewed on our TVs through a pair of "rabbit ears" is now costing hundreds of dollars and is poisoning our minds. Advertisement has almost taken over the programs which no longer have any substance to them.

This person who wrote this email was right on the money. I will always remember from the Bible, reading about Sodom and Gomorrah where Abraham was trying to have God spare the people. In Gen 18:32 And he said, Oh do not let Jehovah be angry, and I will speak only once more. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. Well, it is too bad for Abraham stopped at ten. What about today? Is there ten righteous?

We are speeding towards one world government and the second coming at a rapid pace. I remember reading about the children of Israel who turned from God time and time again, only to realize their mistake and pray for forgiveness.Each time, God would forgive them and they would walk with him for a time. So, I am going to ask you to join me in praying for our nation every day. God is in control!!!

Our president did not encourage participation in the National Day of Prayer.. He called it an event. He thinks it should be private prayer instead of Public Prayer. May God Have Mercy On America & Protect Our Troops.

In Texarkana last week, there were signs in people's yards that said, " America , prayer our only hope" with 2 Chron. 7:14 underneath. We certainly need God's help! I have no idea who started this, but I certainly agree with this e-mail. I heard a preacher on TV tonight who said if we pray for our nation that things will turn around. After a day of contemplation and soul searching, I have decided to reach out to my friends and relatives and ask you to do something that has been troubling me for a long time.

Our nation is/has been on the slippery slope for a long time. If you look around you will find corruption, greed, moral decay, and a steady move away from the things that made us great. The principles upon which this nation was founded are no longer our backbone. However, we can reverse this trend.

2 Chron. 7:14 in God's word he states, "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."

I am convinced that we must pray for our nation and its leaders and ask for forgiveness. So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord.

Would you please send this to people in your address book (send it to all of them); ask them to pray EVERYDAY... (25 to only the 5th power is 9,765,625 people.) IMAGINE if each person reaches TEN others...or all TWENTY FIVE!

If you do and they comply, we will lift up millions and millions of prayers a day to our Creator. He will hear us and in faith will answer.

Let me just add a quote from Ronald Reagan. "If we ever forget that we are
one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." I truly believe this is why the United States of America is in the shape we are in today. Most people have forgotten that we are one nation under God! Let us as Christians stand up and remind people of this!!

Today's Quote "God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him." --J. Hudson Taylor

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
