"These
are different sort of times we live in- we know it as post-modern and post-Christian. It is, however, coming to be more than that. It is becoming anti-Christian. We are
here today to publically and very specifically pray into that."
"In terms of our Judeo-Christian foundation as a nation, we
have lost our footing. We no longer, at least publically, acknowledge
God’s grace as the underpinning of this great nation. We have jettisoned values that have allowed this nation to
prosper and
to stand out among the nations of the world. We have forsaken our Christian birthright."
"Eph. 6:12 tells us, “our
struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities
and powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms. All that is good and right about our nation is therefore
being laid defenseless before Satan. We as a nation have made ourselves as
vulnerable to Satan’s wiles as all other nation on this planet. American exceptionalism, clearly a gift
from God, is being devoured, and we now are playing this game society-building
on Satan’s home court rather than in the courts of the Lord."
"But as
Scripture says, “the battle is mine, says the Lord.” God’s weapon is our faithfulness and
prayers of His people. I am thankful for the faithfulness of
Christians such as you who are willing to come together on this hot summer morning
to pray and stand in the gap for our country."
"The 19th C pastor and song-writer, Samuel Francis Smith, understood the beauty and power of real freedom. And he knew that true freedom comes only from the One True God. our King. Apart from the living God freedom is impossible. Smith calls God the "Author of Liberty" in the hymn we will sing together today, "My Country 'tis of Thee."
