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 15 - DAILY PRAYER (FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION) - JUNE 8, 2012

June 8



Adonai,


Master of the universe, we seek your mighty power to banish slavery in this nation, and that, which stems from this nation.  To the ends of the Earth Father, we cry out to you to remove the strongholds of Satan from this fallen world.  We cry out against the modern day affliction of child slavery, commercial sexual exploitation of children, forced labor, human trafficking, prostitution, and a host of oppressions that subdue your children.  Rise up against such offenses, and rescue those who are held prisoner to this ungodly torture.  Rise up Mighty Father, and lose the chains of those who are bound and enslaved.  Send out a mighty legion of Angels to conquer the enemy, and to destroy the strongholds of slavery and perversion.  Allow the eyes of the oppressor who are blind through these sins to clearly see the salvation of Your Son, and come to know redemption though His blood.  Strengthen and protect those in this world that fight to end these modern day forms of slavery.  We humbly come to You on our knees for those that are in the darkness of oppression, for You Father will give them the light of hope, love, and protection.

We ask these things in Jesus' name.

Amen!
