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."

God is Able


Ephesians 3:20 (AMP)  “Now to Him Who, who is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams”


Don’t you get frustrated when someone comes to you saying they need something, but they really don’t tell you what they need?  They just keep talking maybe even rambling on and on almost like a child.   So after a little while, you say it again, “what do you need”?  They continue talking in circles and finally you have to interrupt them.   Your voice gets stronger this time as you ask them again, what do you need?


I want to ask you today, what do you need?  We have a very Able God to do what you need?  You can overcome any situation today because He defeated death, hell and the grave!


2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMP) “God is able to make all grace every favor and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances, and whatever the need be self-sufficient possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation”


Let me ask you again? What do you need? God is Able to do whatever you may need today: He can help you overcome addictions, frustrations & dis-appointments in life, and not having enough.  He can help you stand strong in the midst of adverse situations that may arise.


God can take your filth and shame and make something new out of it!  He can turn that hopeless situation, and make it work out for your good.   Know, Trust and See that He is Able!


Don’t settle for normal; see the impossible situation as being possible!   God is calling you higher- calling you to do the un-common thing, to stop doubting and start believing!   He wants you to soar like an eagle and to really know that He is Able!  Hold on with bulldog faith with the tenacity that nothing will move your faith and trust, knowing that He is Able to do exceedingly abundantly above what you can ask or think.

DAY 12 - DAILY PRAYER (ONE TRUE GOD) - JUNE 5, 2012

June 5



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.

DAY 12 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 5, 2012

June 5



JUNE 5, 1967, the Six-Day War began. 


Egypt sent 80,000 troops and 900 tanks to attack Israel. 


Jordan and Syria, with Soviet weapons, violently shelled Jerusalem and Israeli villages. Cairo radio announced: 


"The hour has come in which we shall destroy Israel." 


The hot line between Washington and Moscow was used for the first time. 


In a surprise move, Israeli Air Force destroyed 400 Egyptian planes, courageously drove Syria from the Golan Heights and captured all of Jerusalem. 


In a CBS-TV interview, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion stated: 


"In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles." 


Seven months after the War, on Jan. 7, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson toasted Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, saying: 


"Welcome to our family table...All Americans-and all Israelis-know...that none...can ever live by bread alone...


One of your ancestors said it for all men almost 2,000 years ago...for peace it is written, 'pursue it.' 


That is our intention in the Middle East...To pursue peace...


If we are wise, if we are fortunate, if we work together - perhaps our Nation and all nations may know the joys of that promise God once made about the children of Israel: 


'I will make a covenant of peace with them...it shall be an everlasting covenant.'"


Ben-Gurion, David. Oct. 5, 1956, comment in an interview with Edward R. Murrow, "Person to Person," CBS-TV. James Beasely Simpson, Best Quotes of '54, '55, '56 (NY: Thomas Y. Crowell Co., 1957), p. 302. Public Papers of the Presidents: Toasts of the President & Prime Minister Eshkol at a Dinner at the LBJ Ranch. Jan. 7, 1968, "Mr. Prime Minister, Mrs. Eshkol: Welcome to our family table. We are honored and happy to have you here in our home. Here, we ask only that you enjoy the warm ties of friendship and partnership that mean so much to each of us, and both our peoples. Our peoples, Mr. Prime Minister, share many qualities of mind and heart. We both rise to challenge. We both admire the courage and the resourcefulness of the citizen-soldier. We each draw strength and purpose for today from our heroes of yesterday. We both know the thrill of bringing life from a hard but a rewarding land. But all Americans-and all Israelis-also know that prosperity is not enough-that none of our restless generation can ever live by bread alone. For we are equally nations in search of a dream. We share a vision and purpose far brighter than our abilities to make deserts bloom. We have been born and raised to seek and find peace. In that common spirit of our hopes, I respect our hope that a just and lasting peace will prevail between Israel and her neighbors. This past year has been a busy one for America's peacemakers-in the Middle East, in Cyprus, in Vietnam. Wherever conscience and faith have carried them, they have found a stubborn truth confirmed. Making peace is punishing work. It demands enormous courage, flexibility, and imagination. It is ill served by hasty slogans or half-solutions. I know you understand this, sir, better than most men. One of your ancestors said it for all men almost 2,000 years ago: 'Other precepts are performed when the occasion arises . . . but for peace it is written, '"pursue it."' That is our intention in the Middle East and throughout our world. To pursue peace. To find peace. To keep peace forever among men. If we are wise, if we are fortunate, if we work together-perhaps our Nation and all nations may know the joys of that promise God once made about the children of Israel: 'I will make a covenant of peace with them . . . it shall be an everlasting covenant.' Let that be our toast to each other-our Governments and our peoples-as this new year begins. Its days are brighter, Mr. Prime Minister, because you lighten them with your presence here and the spirit you will leave behind."
