Fast & Pray for our Nation, Muslims & the President

September 24th, 2009 | Add a Comment

You may already be aware, but just in case you were not – I wanted to pass on this info. My heart has been heavy for the past couple days after hearing about this. I can feel the urgency to pray. I can’t sit silent. On Friday 9/25/09 Muslims will converge on Washington DC’s mall for a national day of prayer. Please pray about this. Please read what Lou Engle, Shirley Dobson, Tony Perkins and others had to say on Lou’s website – The Call. Hearing what President Obama has done (in staying silent for the National Day of prayer, but being very vocal and encouraging about Ramadan) just grieves my heart. He is on my heart and in my prayers as well . . … Read entire article »

The Bible Bill

May 22nd, 2009 | 1 Comment

The Bible bill? – Yahoo! News Source: news.yahoo.com When the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31, 2009, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) hopes you’ll be ringing in “the Year of the Bible.” This article just makes me want to cry! I am grieving over our country today! Christianity on the decline? Atheism on the rise? . . . and we want to focus on healthcare issues instead of what’s really important?? What’s wrong with people?? Especially those that call themselves Christians?? Our lawmakers and leaders (including some “Christians”) want to focus on the “blooms” and “flowers” that are dying – trying to keep them alive – but what they really need to focus on is the “roots” of the plant/tree. If the roots are unhealthy – then it … Read entire article »

Raise up an Army!

January 23rd, 2009 | 2 Comments

I received an email yesterday from Mike and Cindy Jacobs (that I will post below). After reading it and then hearing more news today about the executive order that Obama signed today (purposely on the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade), I just cried and my heart became heavy for this nation (again). It just hurts. (Here’s another article on the executive order and other plans) I spent the morning praying for Obama, our leaders, Washington DC and our nation. First of all – here is the email from the Jacobs and their ministry at www.generals.org. Dear Intercessors, Yesterday we had a transition in our government. I rejoiced to see the first African American president. I loved the unique love displayed across what has been a massive racial … Read entire article »

Excited by an Inauguration to come!

January 23rd, 2009 | Add a Comment

Did you watch the inauguration this week? Were you excited . . . amazed . . . in awe . . . indifferent . . . angry . . . sad? Did it stir up any emotions in you at all? I normally do not care about the inaugurations and have probably only watched 1 other in my life. But I could feel the excitement in the air everywhere I went about this past Tuesday’s events. It was as if royalty was coming to town. It definitely WAS an historic moment, and I am thrilled at how far we have come in the last 60 years – to finally see not only a black man as president, but to have seen 2 other women in the running … Read entire article »

"We’ve never seen anything like this in our lifetime!"

November 5th, 2008 | 3 Comments

I heard it out of Oprah’s mouth today on CNN as she was interviewed after Obama’s victory speech. Instantly I was reminded of the scripture God had led me to when I was praying on Wall Street almost a month ago: Joel 1:2 – “Hear this, you elders; listen all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers?”(This was said about “the invasion of locusts”. Read my post about Wall Street to see more scriptures.) I wanted to cry last night. I’ve had a knot in my stomach ever since 11pm last night. I get nauseous just thinking about what the next 4 years will entail. My heart aches . . . no . . . … Read entire article »
