Fast and pray for America.

We need to pray for revival, a Third Great Awakening — that God would pour out His Holy Spirit and work repentance and revival in our land and give us the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

Fast and pray for America: Our Founding Fathers called numerous fasts. Christians should fast and confess personal and national sins in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land (ESV).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). We can’t lose. They can’t win.

The Transformed Wife from Facebook

One of the most prevalent temptations in the ancient world still assaults women today. Feminism calls women to abandon focusing on their home, abandon their husband’s headship. They say, “The home is a place of oppression. You’re so much more than just a cook and a cleaner and some live-in maid and slave and some baby maker.”
What a false dichotomy feminism creates. The beauty of God’s design, the glory of being a mother, and being a godly wife is called oppression. What other place can that come from but the father of lies himself as he seeks to assault God’s beautiful design.
God’s design from His Word glories in the woman who prioritizes husband, home, and children. She is called the crown jewel. She is the blessing of all blessings. She is the queen of the castle. She is the bow that fires the next generation into the world to change the world.
Don’t sleep on the Christian mother homemaker. She is the real world changer, not the woman climbing up the corporate ladder saying, “Look at me. l make my own money. Ain’t no man gonna hold me down!”
No, sisters, God’s design is that you are the one changing the world under your husband’s headship with your children raising them up with great control and influence. The godly mother, the godly wife is immensely influential.
Pastor Costi W. Hinn

Wives and Husbands

1 Peter 3

3 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with youof the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

 

 

 

 

 

“Steadfast for God and Country”
REV. JONAS CLARK, Pastor of the Church at Lexington during the Revolution, Leader of Revolutionary Thought.
For 160 years the colonies from Massachusetts to Virginia, by virtue of their original charters, had been free to call meetings of electors to consider matters of common interest, and had enjoyed many privileges which were taken away by these acts of Parliament passed in quick succession in a few short years. It was a rude awakening to the colonists to find all semblance of self-government taken from them and heavy taxes imposed for the benefit of the home government. James Otis who was described by Samuel Adams as “a flame of fire” declaimed against the injustice of these proceedings and in describing the situation said: “We cannot see the equity of our being obliged to pay off a score that had been so much enhanced by bribes and pensions to keep those to their duty who ought to have been bound by honor and conscience.”
These parliamentary acts were born of cupidity. The theory on which they were supported was that Parliament had power to pass such laws as it pleased for the government of the colonies. The motive was, to the victors belong the spoils. All restraints on the Tory party had been removed by the favorable ending of the war. The prize of the continent of America was in the hands of England and there was no longer any danger of its loss or capture by another power. The ownership was undisputed, their control was absolute, parliament was supreme. The home government in the hands of the Tories, refused to listen to the wise counsels of the Earl of Chatham, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Col. Barre, Lord Camden, General Conway and others, which, if they had been followed, would have saved the colonies to England. (Pages 5-6 ESV)

My wife and I are the proud parents of an autistic 30-year-old son. Despite the love and support of family and friends, autism leaves us exhausted and devastated. We do not know why our family suffers with autism other than that we live in a fallen world. Some would ask why God permits such things, but we pity those who suffer such things and do not know the Lord. We look forward to that day when Christ “will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4). We pray that God will be glorified in healing our son in this life, but we know that he will not be autistic in heaven.
