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 DEVOTION - JUNE 8, 2012

Infusion not Confusion


Back several years ago, I went to a doctor who did vitamin infusions to build up my immune system. A vitamin infusion is an IV of vitamins that go directly into your blood stream versus having to swallow a vitamin.  It’s much faster and more effective for your body to absorb.


As I was preparing for this devotional, The Lord reminded me of those vitamin infusions.  He urged me to tell you about how much He wants you healthy and whole: Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit.  He said, “Tell my people, I love them and want only the best for them.  No more confusion-I will give them clear direction and wisdom.  And, when they hurt, I hurt.  We are in this world, but not of it.  Take joy in knowing that I have overcome the world and receive my Peace.  Peace that passes all understanding.”


Will you join me in letting go of anger, bad relationships, and un-forgiveness.  Allow the Holy Spirit to come in and take control.  Let the Holy Spirit do His job in filling you with Love, Joy, Peace, and a Sound mind.


I believe when we purpose in our hearts not to do anything else before getting our routine Holy Spirit infusion, then we are ready to do what He’s called us to do in our specific journeys in life.   And, because we’ve released all the things that tried to hinder or stop us, now, things you were going to have to go through, some how God turns it around or moves it away.   Psalm 37:23 “The steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord.”  He will take you places you never knew you could go because He has anointed you for such a time and journey as this!


I pray for a Fresh In-Filling and a New Anointing from the Holy Spirit!  Fill them up Lord, Fill them up to overflowing in Jesus Name!

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!

DAY 15 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 8, 2012

June 8



On JUNE 8, 1845, "Old Hickory" died. Wounded by a sword during the Revolutionary War, he later fought the Seminole Indians and, in the War of 1812, defeated the British in New Orleans. 


He was governor of the Florida Territory, and is credited with proposing the name "Tennessee" at that State's first convention. 


His name was Andrew Jackson. 


His wife Rachel dying just three months before he took office as the 7th U.S. President, Andrew Jackson stated in his 2nd Inaugural: 


"It is my fervent prayer to that Almighty Being before whom I now stand, and who has kept us in His hands from the infancy of our Republic to the present day...that He will...inspire the hearts of my fellow-citizens that we may be preserved from danger." 


On December 30, 1836, Andrew Jackson wrote to A.J. Donelson, upon the death of his wife, Emily: 


"We cannot recall her, we are commanded by our dear Saviour, not to mourn for the dead, but for the living...


She has changed a world of woe for a world of eternal happiness, and we ought to prepare as we too must follow...'The Lord's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.'" 


Of the Bible, Andrew Jackson stated: 


"That book, Sir, is the Rock upon which our republic rests."
