  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!” [1]   Holy, holy, holy LORD, I am at a loss as to how to pray for A m e r i c a today. But when I asked, I felt You led me to pray specifically for our President, Vice-President, Secretary of War, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and all our military. These are the men You chose to be in power at this time in history, and to be Your servants as Cyrus the Great was Your servant. [2] Please give them wisdom, clarity, discernment, eyes to see You and the path forward, ears to hear Your voice, and hearts to understand Your will and how You want it carried out. Save our Republic, LORD God, for only You can.   Father, while domestic issues at home are on the rise, the Iran war is again taking its toll. These wonderful men You have placed in A m e r i c a ’ s highest offices do not understand the type of people they are dealing with in Ira...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash Thank you, glorious LORD, for establishing this great nation and guiding our founding fathers in the writing of our Constitution. How we are blessed to see Your divine guidance in the formation of our federal, state, and local governments. We look to You to protect and keep each civil servant and administration from corruption.   As we celebrate A m e r i c a’ s 250 years of history, our hard-fought freedom now teeters on the brink of destruction. LORD God, give us what we need to save this country so our children are not enslaved by Socialism, Communism, Islamism, Hinduism, Buddhism—the evil one’s way of government.   Set our hearts firm with the courage to fight to keep our founding documents intact and not allow our freedoms to be eroded. We, true believers in Jesus Christ, are the sheep of Your pasture, [1] and it is only in You that we live and move and have our being. [2]   Holy Father, LORD Almighty, help...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash God Most High, who is Three-in-One—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—please deliver A m e r i c a from evil. [1]   As we who love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength pray, seek Your face, repent of our personal sins, and the sins of our nation, L ORD , honor Your Word—heal our hearts and then our land. [2] In just seven days, we celebrate  A m e r i c a’ s 2 5 0 th B i r t h d a y   and what a celebration it will be! But as we do, O God, give us the determination to continue working hard to take this country back from the evil that has stolen  it—seeking  to erase it and You.   Your Word tells us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the L ORD , the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” [3] While we understand this Psalm speaks to Israel as Your inheritance, You also established and protected A m e r i c a and its people. However, many have expelled You from their hearts just the way...

FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash LORD God, as we begin our day, we come before Your throne and bow in Your presence. Thank You for our nation—the L a n d of the F r e e and the H o m e of the B r a v e —the country You gave us. As Christians, true believers in Jesus Christ , we have been complacent and sometimes apathetic about the rights, freedoms, and blessings You have provided.   While we have been asleep, the evil one has sewn tares and gained ground on our watch. He seeks to destroy our land and enslave our people. [1]   His deceived workers don’t even realize it is Satan who controls their puppet strings, because their hearts and consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. [2] These blinded ones have become like their father [3] and puppet master, “…workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but evil is in their hearts.” [4]   Gaining more and more power is their immediate goal, O LORD, yet they are caught in Satan’s web like dinn...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash Please join me for ten days of praying for ALL of A m e r i c a , ending on J u l y 4 th , our 2 5 0 th B i r t h d a y . But as you pray, examine yourself, and make this a personal prayer. Heavenly Father, As I sit here in the wee hours of the morning, afternoon, or evening, I seek Your face on behalf of myself, my community, my state, and my nation. LORD, I know since sin entered the world, we all have been born with a sin nature inherited from Adam, and we cannot cleanse ourselves of it. [1] I have sinned, fallen very short of Your glory, [2] and this moment, I repent. [3] Have mercy on me, O LORD, the chief of sinners. [4] Forgive me, and cleanse me from all unrighteousness according to Your Holy Word. [5] On my own, God Most High, I have no right to enter Your presence. But because You chose me in Jesus before You laid the foundation of the world, by the blood of JESUS CHRIST, my LORD, my Savior, my ALL in ALL, I can ente...

To you, my friend. Every person who reads one of my posts is my friend. I don't know you, and the reality is, you don’t know me, but I love you. You may live a thousand miles away or across the street, yet if you know or want to know my L ORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, you are my friend, and we are family. How is that possible? Ephesians tells us “…we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.” [1] I know this concept is hard to understand, so let’s think of a human body. There are many parts, hands, feet, arms, legs, eyes, nose, and mouth. There are also parts we keep covered, and even parts inside that we do not see. Well… It’s the same with the body of Christ. God speaking through Paul calls our body parts members, “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.” [2] What’s Almighty God saying? His point is even though we are different, and God has given us different spiritual gifts, w...
