Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Phil.2:1-11 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Everytime I read Your word, I stand amazed. I am so unworthy of the gift of Your son and Your word!
How humbling is this Man who gave His life for so many? Can we even grasp the debt we owe Him?
Father God, You and Your Son are so far beyond our comprehension! Give us the faith we need to trust and obey You. Amen

And the Truth Shall Set You Free
I recently heard that our president, Obama, made a statement about us all worshiping the same God but we just call him something different. Nothing could be farther from the truth!!! There is only one true living God who created the universe and in Him and through Him all things exist. I can not make you believe this but the bible is a great tool for the unbeliever as well as the believer. You only have to look at the wonder of nature and the gift of a new life to see that there is a creator.
1Cor.8:4-6 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that"an idol has no real existence," and that "there is no God but one." For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"— yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
God was never created, He is from everlasting to everlasting. He is, was and will be!
Is.43:10-13 "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,"and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me. I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.
I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and I am God. Also henceforth I am he;
there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?"
Ps.90:1-2 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth,or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. President Obama, from your statements, I fear you will spend eternity seperated from a holy, living God.
I will continue to pray God will have mercy on you and open your eyes to the truth. I will leave you with one more statement of truth from God's word: Heb.9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.
Lord, I pray for all the people who are believing a lie, that all religions worship the same God and may call him something different. I know that You and You alone open hearts to the truth of Your word. Have mercy on them just as You have had mercy on us. Lord, reap a mighty harvest through Your followers as we go out in a lost and dying world. Amen

Week 12 of Charles Stanley's Intercession for America/The War Against Jesus
Matt.5:10-12 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
I recently gave some bible verses on homosexuality and was accused of judging gay people. The bible verses I gave were against gay marriage for God states in His word, marriage is between a man and a woman. I can not judge but God will! I will be held accountable if I do not, in love, tell the truth of God's word.

Week 11 Charles Stanley's Intercession for America/Confusion and Corruption
Is.3:12-13 My people— infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths. The LORD has taken his place to contend; he stands to judge peoples.
This is meant to be an insult to leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, as women and children were deemed not suitable for government leadership.
I think this does apply to our present day leadership given the sad state we are in and the incompetence that abounds.

Week 10 Charles Stanley's Intercession for America/Rapid Erosion on Our Liberties
Gal.5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Our government is not for the people, it is not by the people, it is for its self. It is growing and out of control.
It wants to restrict us more and more and take our freedom away. America fall on your knees to God, and ask for His guidance. Listen to the preamble of the constitution: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Submission to the Authorities
Romans 13:1-7
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
I did not vote for President Obama. I do not support his views. I want less government. I want to help the poor because it is what God says to do. I will pay my tax but Your word comes to me, Ps.119:37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways. I feel the government is out of control, eyes on worthless things, losing the respect of the American people by foolish and wasteful spending and offering a free ride. 2 Thess.3:10-12 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

Week 9 of Charles Stanley's Intercession For Amercia/Increasing Unemployment
Phil.4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
God's abundant supply:
We serve a God of abundant mercy and provision. He supplies the spiritual and physical needs of His children. God is called “Jehovahjireh,” meaning “The Lord Will Provide” (Genesis 22:14). God is the master provider of needs both great and small. His storehouse of blessing never goes empty. (Thanks Miss Adah)
2 Kings 4:1-7 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves." And Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil." Then he said, "Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside." So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another." Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
Lord, help us to fix our eyes on You, the author of all things. Amen
