DAY 37 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (LAMP) - JUNE 30, 2010

Proverbs 6:23 (NIV)


For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life,

DAY 37 - DAILY PRAYER (LAMP) - JUNE 30, 2010

Dear God,

I start my prayer by declaring the words that you gave to David in Psalms 119. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I pray your word over my family in the name of Jesus, for your Word says train up a child in the way he should go and when He is old He will not depart from it. I pray that you will teach me how to train my child or children in the way they should go. I know your Word will show me. You said blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. I pray that you will turn this nation back to God so that we do not lose the blessing you have promised to the nations which honor and respect you. You command us in your word to pray for our leaders and so I humbly come before you lifting up our local and national leaders that they will hear the voice of God and follow it. Your Word tells me how to pray and so I close this prayer by declaring and decreeing the prayer you taught your disciples to pray. Our Father, which art in heaven hallowed (Holy) is your name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. We speak healing, forgiveness and deliverance over our lives and our nation in the name of Jesus AMEN!

DAY 37 - DAILY HISTORY (LAMP) - JUNE 30, 2010

DWIGHT EISENHOWER, OCT. 24, 1954, MARKING THE 75TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE INCANDESCENT LAMP:


Faith and the American individual. Yes, it is on these two
pillars that our future rests. It was Thomas Edison who said: “Be
Dwight Eisenhower - 34th President
INSPIRING FAITH FROM LEADERS OF THE PAST 229
courageous; be as brave as your fathers before you. Have faith. Go
forward.” Seventy-five years ago this very week, Tom Edison-a humble,
typical sort of American-put this credo into action and gave a new
light to the world. It is faith that has made our Nation-has made it, and
kept it free.

DAY 36 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (SALVATION) - JUNE 29, 2010

1 Chronicles 16:23


Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.

DAY 36 - DAILY PRAYER (SAVE US) - JUNE 29, 2010

"Lord Jesus, as Thou dost move amoung people and see what men are doing today, how sore must be Thy heart.

Thou whose head was cradled in straw must often reflect that straw was not as coarse as man's selfishness.

Thou whose hands were spread upon a cross and fastened with nails much often reflect that nails were never so sharp as man's ingratitude.

Hear us as we pray for this poor blundering world, in which the nations never seem to learn how to live as brothers.

They resort again and again to methods that produce only more bitter tears, methods that only add to misery and subtract nothing from problems.

Heal them that need healing, make strong the wavering, guide the perplexed, befriend the lonely, give faith and courage to those whose spirits are low.

Lift up our heads, put a new light in our eyes and a new song in our hearts, and we will do better and be better for the sake of Thy love. Amen."


Rev. Peter Marshall, D.D., Chaplain of the U.S. Senate at the opening daily session of Congress, May 27, 1948:

DAY 36 - DAILY HISTORY (SALVATION) - JUNE 29, 2010

ANDREW JACKSON, SEP. 11, 1834, TO SON, ANDREW, JR:


I nightly offer up my prayers to the Throne of Grace for the
health and safety of you all, and that we ought all to rely with confidence
on the promises of our dear Redeemer, and give Him our hearts. This
is all He requires and all that we can do, and if we sincerely do this, we
are sure of salvation through his atonement.

DAY 35 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (MONEY) - JUNE 28, 2010

Proverbs 13:11
 (NIV)


Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.

DAY 35 - DAILY PRAYER (ECONOMY) - JUNE 28, 2010

For a Better Economy


O God, I pray in the Name of Your Son, Jesus, for our country's economy. I know that even more than a strong military, a strong economy helps keep a nation powerful. Father, I ask that You would raise up people of skill and wisdom who will affect our financial future. Give them inspired ideas and a voice with the powers that be. Cause Congress to vote aright in these matters. Give them foresight so that provision might be made for our nation's future, not just its present.
Father, as the people continue to finance the spread of Your Word and help the poor all over the world, I pray that You would continue to prosper us more and more so that we may continue to assist others less fortunate, in this country and across the globe. Amen.

MARTIN VAN BUREN, DEC. 2, 1839, 3RD ANNUAL MESSAGE:


By ceasing to run in debt and applying the surplus of our crops
and incomes to the discharge of existing obligations...we shall see our
country soon recover from a temporary depression...
Fortunately for us at this moment, when the balance of trade
is greatly against us and the difficulty of meeting it enhanced by the
disturbed state of our money affairs, the bounties of Providence have
come to relieve us from the consequences of past errors...
Our surplus profits, the energy and industry of our population,
and the wonderful advantages which Providence has bestowed upon
our country...will in due time afford abundant means.

DAY 34 - DAILY PRAYER (PRESIDENT) - JUNE 27, 2010

Prayer for Our President


O Jesus, in Your Holy Name, I lift up our president to You. I know that our leader's heart is in Your Hand, so I ask You to guide the head of our nation in the way You would have him go. Lord, I pray that You would surround our president with wise counsel--men and women of moral integrity who place Your agenda and the good of this great nation above their own and whose motives are for that which is right.
I pray that You would give our leader discernment, understanding, and knowledge so that our country may know stability internally and abroad. I give You thanks for our president according to Your Word, and thank You for working in and through his leadership so that we might lead peaceable lives in godliness and honesty. Amen.

DAY 34 - DAILY HSTORY (IN GOD WE TRUST) - JUNE 27, 2010

JOHN F. KENNEDY, FEB. 9, 1961, 9TH ANNUAL
PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER BREAKFAST:


Let us go forth to lead this land that we love, joining in the
prayer of General George Washington in 1783, “that God would...be
pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean
ourselves with...the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed
religion, without an humble imitation of whose example we can never
hope to be a happy nation.” The guiding principle and prayer of this
Nation has been, is now, and ever shall be “In God We Trust.”

DAY 33 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (BLESSINGS) - JUNE 26, 2010

Deuteronomy 28:2



All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

DAY 33 - DAILY PRAYER (BLESSINGS) - JUNE 26, 2010

Heavenly Father,


Your servant Abraham Lincoln said this about America on April 30, 1863, “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven.  We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity.  We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever grown.  But we have forgotten God.”
He is so right about the blessings that we have received.  Those gifts keep coming even to this day and we thank You for all of them.
But, if it is true that America had forgotten You 147 years ago, it is still true today.  We seem to be moving at a faster pace than ever before and more quickly away from You.  Some of us have resisted You while others of us have neglected You.  Please forgive us of this most serious transgression.
Let us claim the promise that You gave us through Your servant James.  In his book, chapter four and verse eight, he challenged us to “come near to God and He will come near to you.”  Please give us the courage, wisdom, and strength to draw closer to You so that we can enjoy a close, personal relationship with You.  You are our only hope.  Help us to remember You as a nation so we can continue to be a blessing to others and receive the blessings You have for us.
In the name of Your only begotten Son we pray,
Amen

Pastor Steve Rauch

JAMES MONROE, NOV. 16, 1818, 2ND ANNUAL MESSAGE:


For these inestimable blessings we can not but be grateful to
that Providence which watches over the destiny of nations...
When we view the blessings with which our country has been
favored, those which we now enjoy, and the means which we possess
of handing them down unimpaired to our latest posterity, our attention
is irresistibly drawn to the source from whence they flow. Let us then,
unite in offering our most grateful acknowledgments for these blessings
to the Divine Author of All Good.

Sorry for the late post for Friday, June 25th

We were experiencing internet difficulties today, but we are not defeated!  Praise God for all that He does to allow us to further His kingdom.

DAY 32 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (HUNGRY) - JUNE 25, 2010

Psalm 107:9 (NIV)

for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

DAY 32 - DAILY PRAYER (THE STREETS) - JUNE 25, 2010

Anyway, what I'm seeing from here in Tacoma is a breakthrough of hope destroying despair. It's really spreading out, but there's a definite difference in the spiritual atmosphere here vs. Seattle. We've been mostly working with homeless/addicts/mentally ill people. The work that's being done by the body here through food, prayer, help, ministry, and just straight up love-of-Jesus is really making an impact. Really, the hope comes from becoming "not condemned" and "not punishable" through a relationship with our Creator.

Father,

I'm praying for 'that hope' to continue to come through His body everywhere; that we can reach the lost through the love in our hearts, without judgment or condemnation. I'm praying that revival comes from the streets; I don't think it will start in the church buildings.


In Jesus' name. Amen

DAY 32 - DAILY HISTORY (DRUGS) - JUNE 25, 2010

GEORGE H.W. BUSH, JAN. 20, 1989, INAUGURAL:

We as a society must rise up united and express our intolerance.
The most obvious now is drugs. And when that first cocaine was
smuggled in on a ship, it may as well have been a deadly bacteria, so
much has it hurt the body, the soul of our country. And there is much
to be done and to be said, but take my word for it: This scourge will
stop! And so, There is much to do; and tomorrow the work begins. I do
not mistrust the future; I do not fear what is ahead. For our problems
are large, but our heart is larger. Our challenges are great, but our will
is greater. And if our flaws are endless, God’s love is truly
boundless...God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

Deuteronomy 17:8 (NIV)


[ Law Courts ] If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge—whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults—take them to the place the LORD your God will choose.

DAY 31 - DAILY PRAYER (SUPREME COURT) - JUNE 24, 2010

For our Supreme Court Justices


O Lord, I bring our Supreme Court Justices before You. Knowing that they are appointed by man, I pray that You will influence the selection of each new replacement. Guide them to choose people who will judge morally in every matter brought before them.
As our Justices make their decisions, I pray that their decrees are in accord with Your Will, not that of man. Help them set a standard of justice and balance for the judicial office at large, not only on a national level, but for every adjudicator in our nation. Amen.

DAY 31 - DAILY HISTORY (SUPREME COURT) - JUNE 24, 2010

RONALD REAGAN, AUG. 23, 1984, AT ECUMENICAL PRAYER
BREAKFAST, REUNION ARENA, DALLAS, TX, FOLLOWING
ENACTMENT OF 1984 EQUAL ACCESS BILL:


In 1962, the Supreme Court in the New York prayer case
banned the...saying of prayers. In 1963, the Court banned the reading
of the Bible in our public schools. From that point on, the courts pushed
the meaning of the ruling ever outward, so that now our children are
not allowed voluntary prayer.


We even had to pass a law - pass a special law in the Congress
just a few weeks ago - to allow student prayer groups the same access
to school rooms after classes that a Young Marxist Society, for example,
would already enjoy with no opposition...


The 1962 decision opened the way to a flood of similar suits.
Once religion had been made vulnerable, a series of assaults were
made in one court after another, on one issue after another. Cases
were started to argue against tax-exempt status for churches. Suits were
brought to abolish the words “Under God” from the Pledge of
Allegiance, and to remove “In God We Trust” from public documents
and from our currency.


Without God there is no virtue because there is no prompting
of the conscience...without God there is a coarsening of the society;
without God democracy will not and cannot long endure...


America needs God more than God needs America. If we
ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a
Nation gone under.

DAY 30 - DAILY PRAYER (PROTECTION) - JUNE 23, 2010

National Protection


Most High God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus, asking for divine protection for the people of this country. I pray for the safety of every man, woman, and child. Keep us from harms way and provide protection from plans of destruction that our enemies have plotted. Stop their plans before they are evoked. Give wisdom, understanding and discernment to those who provide us protection. Help us to be watchful and alert to signs of wrongdoing. Please provide insight to national and local authorities on ways to guard, defend, and insure the safety of all American citizens both home and abroad. Helps us to unite with government leaders and law enforcement personnel in making this country a safe place to live, work, and play. Allow Americans to enjoy our freedom without fear. Amen.

DAY 30 - DAILY HISTORY (ENEMIES) - JUNE 23, 2010

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, JAN. 6, 1942, STATE OF THE
UNION:


Our enemies are guided by brutal cynicism, by unholy
contempt for the human race. We are inspired by a faith which goes
back through all the years to the first chapter of the Book of Genesis
- “God created man in His own image.” We on our side are striving to
be true to that Divine heritage. We are fighting, as our fathers have
fought, to uphold the doctrine that all men are equal in the sight of
God. Those on the other side are striving to destroy this deep belief
and to create a world in their own image, a world of tyranny and cruelty
and serfdom.

Hosea 9 (New Living Translation)


O people of Israel,
do not rejoice as other nations do.
For you have been unfaithful to your God,
hiring yourselves out like prostitutes,
worshiping other gods on every threshing floor.

DAY 29 - DAILY PRAYER (MORALS) - JUNE 22, 2010

For a Moral Nation


O Heavenly Father, I know that the spirit of worldliness can creep into the Body of Christ very subtly, and before we know it, we can so easily be led astray. I pray You send Your Holy Spirit upon us, so that a moral, Christian voice can be heard and heeded by our leaders and the media. Cause us, as Christians, to become the standard bearers to such a degree that we can profoundly affect the morality of this nation. Turn our people's hearts to You. Open our eyes that we may see the error of our ways. Gather all Christians, Catholic and Protestant, together so that we form a united front against the wickedness and snares of the devil. Disarm the evildoers, leaving them powerless and not in control of our great nation. Inspire our media--television, newscasters, reporters, filmmakers, and celebrities--to promote a truly moral social justice and morally righteous entertainment and fashion. Be our strength when we are tempted to succumb to worldy things and ways. Help us to lead our lives all for the greater honor and glory of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

DAY 29 - DAILY HISTORY (TURN AWAY) - JUNE 22, 2010

GROVER CLEVELAND, NOV. 4, 1896, NATIONAL DAY OF
THANKSGIVING & PRAYER PROCLAMATION:


The United States should never be unmindful of the gratitude
they owe the God of Nations for His watchful care, which has shielded
them from dire disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and
happiness.

Nor should they ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away from God’s teaching and to follow
with sinful pride after their own devices. To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened it is fitting that on a day especially appointed we
should join together in approaching the Throne of Grace with praise
and supplication.

DAY 28 - DAILY PRAYER (FIRES) - JUNE 21, 2010

El-Shaddai (All Sufficient One),


We come to you in need for the Flagstaff area of Arizona.  The wild fires that burn there endanger homes, business, human and animal lives.  Lord, we seek Your sufficient mercy, and deliverance in this area of our nation.  Command the roaring fires to be extinguished in that land.  May the winds be silenced at Your voice, and the plumes of smoke dispersed with a wave of Your mighty hand.  


Lord, we also ask your great mercy across this entire nation.  Spare other cities across the county the disastrous effects of wild fires.  Grant mercy to those areas prone to fires, and give a reprieve to the people who inhabit those areas.  Bless us with Your unending goodness, and spare us from the threat of wild fires in our land.


We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ,


Amen.

We are being forged into a new unity amidst the fires that now
blaze throughout the world. In their ardent heat we shall, in God’s
Providence, let us hope, be purged of faction and division, purified of
the errant humors of party and of private interest, and shall stand
forth in the days to come with a new dignity of national pride and
spirit...I know now what the task means. I realize to the full the
responsibility which it involves. I pray God I may be given the wisdom
and the prudence to do my duty in the true spirit of this great people.

Our grateful thanks are due to an all-merciful Providence,
not only for staying the pestilence which in different forms has
desolated some of our cities, but for crowning the labors of the
husbandman with an abundant harvest and the nation generally

We owe these blessings, under Heaven, to the happy
Constitution and Government which were bequeathed to us by
our fathers, and which it is our sacred duty to transmit in all
their integrity to our children.

If any people ever had cause to render up thanks to the Supreme
Being for parental care and protection extended to them in all the trials
and difficulties to which they have been from time to time exposed,
we certainly are that people.


From the first settlement of our forefathers on the continent,
through the dangers attendant upon the occupation of a savage
wilderness, through a long period of colonial dependence, through the
War of the Revolution, in the wisdom which led to the adoption of
the existing forms of republican government...the superintendence of
an overruling Providence has been plainly visible. 


As preparatory, therefore, to entering once more upon the high duties of 
legislation, it becomes us humbly to acknowledge our dependence upon Him 
as our guide and protector and to implore a continuance of His parental
watchfulness over our beloved country.
