Where Your spirit resides, true liberty is found. Lord, send Your spirit and permeate our fractured and divided land with it. God, hear the cries of your people.
Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16 (ESV)
[H]e is the best friend to American liberty who is the most sincere and active in promoting true and undefiled religion, and who sets himself with the greatest firmness to bear down profanity and immorality of every kind. Whoever is an avowed enemy of God, I scruple not to call him an enemy to his country.” Reverend John Witherspoon May 17, 1776
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
Operation World Pray for Bhutan : Pray for true spiritual freedom in this “Land of the Dragon”. The Buddhist monarchy, the government policies to keep Bhutan isolated, and the strong hold of Vajrayana Buddhism resulted in Bhutan being one of the world’s least-evangelized nations. Bon (an indigenous religion) was replaced by Buddhism, but maintains a strong occultic/demonic influence. Pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to King Wangchuk and royal family, so that they might know His love and power. Among the 5 largest Tibetan/Himalayan peoples (Dzongkha, Tshangla, Lepcha, Kheng, Gurung), only the Lepcha have a significant Christian population. Pray for a fellowship of believers to witness among every ethnic group of the Bhutanese! A New Testament exists in Dzongkha (official language), but most languages have no Scriptures.
War Prayers: The Crucible – Cliff Graham
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
and a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his folly will not depart from him.
-Proverbs 27:21-22
Gracious Father,
Praise your Name.
You test me like silver and gold—metals that can only be molded and shaped through fire.
If I ever receive the praise of man, I want to pass the test of ascribing all glory to you.
Let me not be a fool pounded in a mortar. I want you to shape and mold me, through pain if need be, but let it not be pain I have brought on myself.
I want my folly to depart from me, and I want to walk in your power and wisdom so that we vanquish your enemies.
Amen.
