My Prayer

MargaretBass-31

As I spend time each day journaling my time with God, I am inspired by the following prayer that is framed on my office wall, as a motivation each morning as I prepare to walk with the King and be a blessing by His grace and power throughout the day.

“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” 

? St. Francis of Assisi

Woman To Woman

I am a woman who has been abused by men both in my childhood and as an adult. I have come to know God’s forgiveness in my own life so have the grace to extend forgiveness to my offenders. Please note I did not say that I am defending them but as I am daily being conformed to His image I am learning to forgive as He does for all of us who seek Him.

I am writing this mostly to Christian women who have received God’s forgiveness but will not give Donald Trump the same forgiveness for deplorable words said 11 years ago. Please note I did not say defend him.

If you are withholding your forgiveness because of personal hurt from a man please do not avenge your pain at the great expense of the future of the Supreme Court of the USA.

You know how important the woman’s vote is in this election and I am asking you, even if you do not like Trump’s personality, to unselfishly put your emotional response aside for the sake of future generations and the USA and please vote the following issues:

1. Vote for constitutional supreme court judges.

2. Vote on behalf of the millions of babies who are aborted every year. 

3. Vote on behalf of support and respect for Israel.

4. Vote on behalf of our police and military.

5. Vote for our veterans instead of tax payer dollars being spent on illegal immigrants.

6. Vote to have Obama care overturned.

7. Vote for lesser taxes and lesser government in our lives.

8. Vote for a stronger leader against Islamic Terrorism and keep us safe.

9. Vote to protect the Second Amendment.

10.Vote for jobs being brought back to the USA.

By not voting for Trump you are in fact voting for Clinton who will NOT further our above conservative principles but who will continue Obama’s socialistic policies. 

Pastor Rick Scarborough states “I often hear people say rather piously, ‘I will not vote for the lesser of two evils,’ but every vote for a human candidate is exactly that…voting for the lesser of two evils. For the Christian, not voting is not an option. Since Jesus is NOT running, a flawed candidate must be chosen. Our challenge is finding a flawed candidate whom we believe will best represent our values.”

Franklin Graham put it so well “Trump and Clinton scandals might be news for the moment, but who they appoint to the Supreme Court will remake the fabric of our society for our children and our grandchildren, for generations to come.   

This is the most important election of my lifetime. I want the church to wake up. The church has to vote. America needs to hear the voice of God’s people.”

Well, as women, we have a heavy responsibly when we stand in that voting booth in a few weeks. 

Beware! For we will not be voting for a personality, we will be voting for the legacy we will leave our children and grandchildren. We will be voting for the future of the Supreme Court and our religious freedom which will effect this nation for more than four years but rather for generations to come! Once a Supreme Court Judge is chosen they are there for life! In other words our vote will be in concrete.

Which legacy do you want to leave your children?

A court of liberal judges nominated by Hilary Clinton who will take our nation down this slippery slope of socialism, globalism and anti God decisions?

OR

A court of constitutional judges who will protect our religious freedom, like the late Judge Antonin Scalia, nominated by Donald Trump who will rule by interpreting the law rather than making the law from the bench?

Franklin Graham agrees “This election is about the Supreme Court.” 

I feel just as Thomas Jefferson did when he wrote this word 

“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; and that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –

In God We Trust?

Our Schools are failing — We forbade Him in the classroom

Our Courts — Many of our courts have removed the Ten Commandments

Our Homes — We often complain our children can’t pray in schools yet fail to pray with them  in our homes.

Our Law and Order — When we have no respect or fear of God we will have no respect for any authority of police, schools or parents.

Our Sexuality — Even the very core of our creation by God as male and female is being challenged.

Our Gift of Life — We loose respect for life when we murder the unborn. As you read this there will be 3,700 babies murdered today. Since 1973 there have been 58 million babies legally killed in the U.S.A.

In all aspects of our lives we have tried to delete God’s law of sowing and reaping, leaving us with an immature  society void of personal responsible.

Political correctness is strangling our laws and the very breathe of our nation as we abuse the words “Separation of Church and State which are not even in the constitution.

So where did the words “Separation of Church and State.” come from? They can be traced back to only a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote back in 1802. In October 1801, the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut wrote to President Jefferson, and in their letter they voiced some concerns about Religious Freedom. On January 1, 1802 Jefferson wrote a letter to them in which he added the phrase “Separation of Church and State.” When you read the full letter, you will understand that Jefferson was simply underscoring the First Amendment as a guardian of the peoples religious freedom from government interference.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote his letter to the Danbury Baptist Association he never intended the words “Separation of Church and State” to be taken out of context and used as a substitute for the First Amendment, but for all practical purposes that is exactly what the courts have done.

“I tremble for my country,” said Thomas Jefferson, “when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –

A sobering warning from George Washington on April 30, 1789, when he delivered his famous Inaugural Address to both Houses of Congress. “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” He had just taken the oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City, with his hand upon a Bible opened to Deuteronomy, Chapter 28:And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

George Washington also wrote this about what he felt made America great:

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

To make America great again we need God back in our government, society, homes, schools, and our lives.

As you live unto Me there is power to die to self. Trying to die to self without Me can become a religion. But with Me it becomes a relationship.
