Dear Prayer Partners,
Today we are focusing on the State of Mississippi, one of the states that are located on the Gulf of Mexico.  Because of its location, Mississippi residents are often subjected to weather related disasters. Right now, even today, there are millions of residents that are still without power from Hurricane Ida. Besides the huge problem of trying to manage without power, thousands are experiencing property damage problems and other hardships because of the very recent hurricane. Today we all join together to pray for this state and everyone who lives there. We know that He loves and cares for each and every one of them!

Let's also lift up some of their cities by name to the Lord today! The largest cities include Jackson, 
Gulfport, and Southaven. Other large cities include Biloxi and Hattiesburg. 

We also remember all of the smaller cities, towns and villages. Please pray that churches will flourish and that the Gospel will find its way into every household. 

We remember to lift up the elected leaders of Mississippi to the Lord today! We pray for Governor Jonathon Tate Reeves and his advisors. We pray that God will give great wisdom to him in leading this state. Be with him and guide him in Jesus' name. We also pray for the senators and representatives of Mississippi in both the national congress and those that are in leadership in state decision making positions.

In closing, we want to ask God for the wind of the Spirit to sweep over America in revival. We ask today specifically for the State of Mississippi that the Spirit will move in a new way to bring many souls into the Kingdom of God and that the church there will be refreshed and renewed. We ask all of these things in the name of Jesus. Amen

Thank you for praying with us today! God bless you! God Bless Mississippi! And God bless America!

Hello America!
Our Prayer for July 4th
Father in Heaven, We come to you in the mighty name of Jesus. We pray for our great nation today. We thank you for the opportunity that we have to express our love for America on this special holiday. We thank you for the sacrifices that were made during the founding years of this country and the continued sacrifices throughout the years since then to keep us strong and free.

We ask that you forgive our national sins. We, humble ourselves before you and repent for the grievous sins that we have committed. We turn our faces away from evil and we ask for your strength to fight evil at every opportunity. We ask that we will hear your voice concerning the individual and national activities that will result in the resisting of the great evils of our day. Please give us courage to stand for what is righteous in your sight.

We thank you for being with us this past year during the horrible COVID 19 crisis which held so much fear and so much sorrow for many of us. We pray that you will protect the people of our nation from further oppression and fear. We speak your name over our nation and by faith we do believe that your Kingdom will flourish during this time of recovery.

​Thank you for America! Thank you for our Freedoms! Thank you for your protection. We honor you and praise you for all you have done and all that you will do as we stay in obedience. Help us Lord where we are weak. Teach us to rely on your strength we pray. In Jesus' name. Amen

 When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

  See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Isaac Watts, Published 1707

Hello Prayer Warriors! This week we have a rare opportunity to pray over the hearings of a potential Supreme Court Justice nominee.

We often pray for the high court regarding arguments and rulings as they take place. Each one of the rulings are of extreme importance to us and our way of life.  

During this week we have the aditional opportunity to pray regarding the potential confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court judicial bench. This is the time for us to pray for the decision making that is taking place right now .
​

​Father, we, as the American people approach your throne this week asking you to guide these hearings in a way that would honor you as the Supreme Justice over our world. We pray that the Senators and President and all others who are involved in this selection process would seek you for your wisdom and guidance. We ask for each individual person to hear your voice throughout this process. We pray for Amy Coney Barrett. We pray that she would have wisdom and that she would be able to state her case so that it is clearly understood by all so that an informed decision can be made. 

We ask that you would sovereignly be in control of every act and conversation that takes place. We come against any distractions, lies, or deceptions that would try to distort the hearings into any false representation of you or your people. We ask that you would supernaturally lead us as a nation in this decision because of its importance to our current and future democracy.

We acknowledge that yours is the Kingdom, the Glory and the Honor forever! In Jesus Name. Amen.

Celebrating Easter this year is so very important! This year we are in a much different place than we have ever been in our lifetimes. Though Easter is being celebrated differently, it is an opportunity for us to pray that the resurrection power of God will rise up in us as we fight (in the Spirit) against the invisible enemy of COVID 19.

I encourage you to spend some time today experiencing a new level of prayer. As you pray for our nation and for the sick and dying among us, allow the Spirit of God that dwells in you to quicken you in an unusual way while you are praying.  Allow the Spirit of God to expand your prayer life today. As a church we can experience great and mighty things as we spend time  pressing in to the Word of God and into an expanded prayer life!

As we dwell on thoughts of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us lay aside the things that so easily beset us. Let us spend time with God in a powerful new way.

If you are in one of the "hot zones", or if you are actually ill from the COVID 19 virus, please know that the prayer warriors from all 50 states are holding you up in prayer. We are praying for your protection from the virus and for your recovery if you are experiencing symptoms or have a positive diagnosis. Please let us know by email if you have specific needs in this area. We will not release your email information, but with permission, we will place your name or name substitute on our office prayer wall.

Today we will pray for the great state of Arkansas! This state is the home of 3.014 million people! Let's lift them up to the Lord today! Some of their biggest cities include Little Rock, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, and Springdale. The capital city is Little Rock. Let's lift these cities (and any others) up to the Lord today! I encourage you to look at a map while praying for this state and pray for the different cities by name. Let's remember all of the smaller cities, towns and villages and the people who live there. As we pray, let's ask the Lord to move in those places by His Spirit and that the name of Jesus would be lifted up in each territory.

Also, let's remember to pray for Governor Asa Hutchinson, and the many other leaders that have positions of authority in Arkansas. We also want to pray for those who represent the state in the United States Congress.

We pray for the Christian believers in Arkansas. We pray that God will strengthen them and give them spiritual insight as they are representing Jesus Christ day by day in their own state. We pray for church leaders, pastors, Sunday school teachers, and all other believers who are dedicated to reaching the lost in Arkansas.

FOR EVERYONE NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE: Please take a few minutes today or tomorrow to look up this state on a map and pray for Arkansas. This can be done within your daily personal prayer time or anytime that you can spend a few minutes in focused prayer. I believe that our prayers are effective and they make a difference.

Thank you for taking this prayer assignment to heart and praying with us today! God bless you! God Bless Arkansas!  God bless America!

Louisiana is in a State of Emergency.
Today when I was writing this post, I felt a stirring of the Holy Spirit as I began to gather information about Loisiana for our state-by-state prayer post.

I often spend time praying as I am writing these posts for the individual states. In response to the alert in the Spirit, I began to search for news about Louisiana to see if there was something specific that I should be praying about.
Immediately, I read that Louisiana is in a State of Emergency because of severe storms and flooding. I decided to post this now, so that we all can be praying today for this situation and the families and businesses that are being hit hard wth this disaster. I will post the state information later, but I want to ask all of us, as a national prayer team, to focus on this situation as we are going through our prayer time. 

Note: East Texas is also suffering in this storm emergency.  
God bless each one of you that take these blogs to heart and pray didligently for these individul states. 

It's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord. Zechariah 4:6b
In this day, and in these circumstances, and in this present darkness, the church of Jesus Christ must still advance. God has chosen to use us as instruments of rightousness in an increasingly darkening landscape. He has chosen to work through us both as individuals and as members of the body of Christ, to exert power over darkness by His Spirit who lives within us. God has called us to allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us to bring an anointed word of deliverence to the people who are bound by the forces of evil all around us. When we look at the tide of evil that exists today we see that our country is seething with ugliness. Greed, uncontained lust, and the love of violence are exeedingly strong and seemingly invincible in our society. We can begin to despair that the church could ever move forward under such conditions.
In 1 John 4:4, we read: “ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
Our very important work is to humble ouselves in prayer and seeking His face and continuing full-force in turning from our own wicked ways. We must obey the voice of the Holy Spirit within us and do those things that He says. God WILL reveal His plans to us individually and through the true functioning body of Christ. Not only will God lead us as individuals, but God has given us those in church leadership the the ability to lead by the Spirit.
When God speaks to us as the church to advance, we must obey! We must have faith that God will not leave us to come up with our own plans to move forward. The Holy Spirit will reveal the exact plan that will lead to many spiritual victories even in the darkest circumstanses. In the Bible we see in both the Old and in the New Testaments that God consistantly revealed exact plans for battle after battle and for situation after situation. We must expectantly wait for instructions by the Holy Spirit. God has plans for us to gain victory within our own personal lives and within our society to bring the furtherment of the Kingdom of God among us. It's not by might or by power but by His Spirit, The Lord has spoken it. Zechariah 4:6b​

Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and a nationally recognized social activist who led the civil rights movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. He moved the whole nation with his on-point message of non-violence and led civic protests against segregation. In his passionate sermons and speeches, he influenced the heart of the people. Without violence, he became an influencer in his time. On this day of rememberence we honor his life, his passion, and the effect that his "I Have a Dream" speech still holds on us as Americans even to this day. 

Get into position. Prepare to move forward.
Be in position to hear the voice of the Lord. Humble yourself. Pray, Seek His face, Turn from any known wicked way. Ask God to reveal unknown hindrances in your life. Get ready! Get set! Get ready to hear the trumpet signal to advance!

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, see his banner go!

At the sign of triumph, Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise!

Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we,
One in hope and purpose, one in charity. 

Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voicesin the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor, unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages men and angels sing. 

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!

Hymn Notes: "Onward, Christian Soldiers" is a 19th-century English hymn. The words were written by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865, and the music was composed by Arthur Sullivan in 1871. The Fellowship Hymn Book, with his permission, changed the phrase "one in hope and doctrine" to "one in hope and purpose."

The Thompson Chain Reference Bible (KJV)
The Thompson Chain's advantage is that the commentary is the Bible itself. When you read a scripture, the Thompson Chain gives links to other important scriptures regarding the same subject. Then that next scripture follows the "chain". It is easy to follow any topic and it is an important study reference tool. In addition, it is a classic version of the King James Bible and has been cherished by generations of believers. 

Here, we are providing the link to a King James Version, Leather-Bound, Large Print Edition. There are many other styles, colors and size versions of the Thompson Chain Bible and other choices for you to view.
