Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 2 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (REPENTANCE) - MAY 26, 2011

May 26



2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)


14 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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

DAY 2 - DAILY PRAYER (REPENTANCE) - MAY 26, 2011

May 26


Father in heaven we pray that you would reign as the one true living God of this land we call America. We pray that the nations love of idolatry , power, and money would come to an end. We pray that people would come back to more of a fear of you, than pleasing the god of this world. We pray that the true manifest power of Jesus would come back to our churches, making the world jealous of your presence and favour on our lives. We pray that you would make our enemies our footstool, and that Jesus Christ would be supreme once again in this great nation. 


We ask for your forgiveness and lack of passion the church has had in the past. We know that religion can not save us, church can not save us, only your blood and the cross give us true power. So know Lord we turn our backs on the world’s system, as the love of many is waxing cold, our love for you if ever growing. We the bride of Christ are preparing for your soon return getting our eyes and attentions off the temporal things to things of the eternal. Save us by your mercy and grace Father , revive the hearts of your children once again we pray in Jesus name amen.


In Loving Memory of a True Brother in Christ

DAY 2 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR MAY 26, 2011


American Minute for May 26th:


Oscar winning actor Marion Michael Morrison, better known as John Wayne, was born MAY 26, 1907. A U.S.C. football player, he worked behind-the-scenes at Fox Studios, before being discovered by director John Ford, who cast him in epic western and war films. On MAY 26, 1979, Jimmy Carter said: "I have today approved...a specially struck gold medal to John Wayne. For nearly half a century, the Duke has symbolized the American ideals of integrity, courage, patriotism, and strength and has represented to the world many of the deepest values that this Nation respects." Ronald Reagan said November 5, 1984: "I noted the news coverage about the death of my friend, John Wayne. One headline read 'The Last American Hero.'...No one would be angrier than Duke Wayne at the suggestion that he was America's last hero. Just before he died, he said in his unforgettable way, 'Just give the American people a good cause, and there's nothing they can't lick.'" In his album, America-Why I Love Her, 1977, John Wayne stated: "If we want to keep these freedoms, we may have to fight again. God forbid, but if we do, let's always fight to win...Face the flag, son...and thank God it's still there."

DAY 1 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (PRAISE) - May 25, 2011


Psalm 145 (New International Version)

A psalm of praise. Of David.

 1 I will exalt you, my God the King; 

   I will praise your name for ever and ever. 

2 Every day I will praise you 

and extol your 

name for ever and ever.

 3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; 

   his greatness no one can fathom. 

4 One generation commends your works to another; 

   they tell of your mighty acts. 

5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— 

   and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b] 

6 They tell of the power of your awesome works— 

   and I will proclaim your great deeds. 

7 They celebrate your abundant goodness 

   and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

 8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, 

   slow to anger and rich in love.

 9 The LORD is good to all; 

   he has compassion on all he has made. 

10 All your works praise you, LORD; 

   your faithful people extol you. 

11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom 

   and speak of your might, 

12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts 

   and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 

   and your dominion endures through all generations.

   The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises 

   and faithful in all he does.[c] 

14 The LORD upholds all who fall 

   and lifts up all who are bowed down. 

15 The eyes of all look to you, 

   and you give them their food at the proper time. 

16 You open your hand 

   and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

 17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways 

   and faithful in all he does. 

18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, 

   to all who call on him in truth. 

19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; 

   he hears their cry and saves them. 

20 The LORD watches over all who love him, 

   but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. 

   Let every creature praise his holy name 

   for ever and ever.

DAY 1 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAISE YOU) - May 25, 2011

May 25



Father Almighty,


We praise you and exalt Your Holy Name dear Father.   May Your Name be higher than every name in Heaven and Earth, and across this vast nation.  We humbly thank you for the great and many blessings that You have given us as Americans.  Through Your mighty hand we were given freedoms that are unique on Earth.  Your blessings of prosperity have been lavished on us from our meager beginnings.  You alone have protected us from the scourge of our enemies, and sheltered us from lasting occupation by other nations.  As You once set your captive people free from captivity in Egypt, you have freed us from our chains of slavery to men and other nations.  Eternal Father, You have shared Your greatest gift with this nation, allowing us to know and accept Your one and only Son though our freedom of religion.  While other countries make His name illegal, You have given us the free will to accept Him in our heart…the heart of this nation. Our mouths will speak in praises of the LORD.  Let every creature praise Your holy name for ever and ever.  As a Christian nation; we commit our prayers and supplications to You during these 40 days of prayer, and humbly seek your face in this land.  Please bless us with your open ears, and manifold grace over these 40 days of prayer and fasting.


In the name of your precious Son Jesus,  we commend these words to Your ears as a nation.


AMEN.
