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 6 - DAILY PRAYER (PASTORS) - MAY 30, 2012

May 30


Abba Father,

We pray today for the strength and anointing of the Holy Spirit on the Pastors of our churches.  Send Your Holy Spirit in the visible from of a dove to rest upon their shoulder, giving them purity and innocence as they reflect You and Your Son in their daily lives.  



Consecrate the men and women whom you alone have placed as leaders in Your body 'the church' as righteous and Holy in Your sight.  Protect their hearts and minds from compromise to the temptations of this Earthly world, and the desires of their flesh.  


Lord, as you have set them apart from the flock to guide Your sheep - empower them to lead with a staff of correction and righteousness which is becoming obsolete in today's church.  Speak to them with fresh words of inspiration, and settle their spirit with words of praise and encouragement.  


Prevail in their hearts, so that they might love Your people as You love them.  Speak to them in visions and dreams - guiding their thoughts and actions from this day forward.  


Design in them an unrelenting passion to seek the lost, and foster relationships.  


And Lord, give them a burning desire in their hearts to seek you without yielding.  Place your mighty hand of protection upon them to stave off the enemy, and defend against insidious and visible attacks of Satan and his demons.

We ask these things for the continued fortification of Your men and women that you place over Your flock in Jesus' Mighty Name.  Amen!
