l The Feast l

Oct 3_2012 I Sam 2
National Days of Prayer Day 6 of 40



Dear Saints,


Today we prayerfully Feast in the book of I Samuel 2. As we read we see, Hannah's prayer or song of thanksgiving including her appraisal of the Lord. We visit the wickedness of Eli's sons, Samuel's ministry. The prophecy against Eli's family. In the first two verses she accurately describes her place and our awesome God.

1 And Hannah prayed and said,
My heart exults in the Lord;
my horn is exalted in the Lord.
My mouth derides my enemies,
because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 “There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.

I Samuel 2:1-2, English Standard Version (ESV). There is no other who is worthy of our praise.

40 Days of Prayer # 6 Prayer for our nation By Pastor Glen Aycock
40 DAYS OF PRAYER- DAY 6

SCRIPTURE:
"And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare." [New Living Translation]Jeremiah 29:7

Determining Our Nation’s welfare
Let us pray that our nation does not have to go into exile or become laughing stock of the rest of the world. America has almost lost the reputation of being “Christian America”. We now have other countries sending missionaries to introduce America to Christ. Visitors land at our airports and they see billboards advertising alcohol and wine, nude bars, pornography, gay rights. At first sight they could think the airplane landed in the wrong country. This was the experience of Mel Tari and he relates it in his book, “Like a mighty wind”. Recommended reading for anyone who is interested in revival and power for renewal.

I am not a prophet of doom but one of hope if we look to Jesus and call on His name. I play tennis and years of lessons and practice are useless if I don’t apply them when the ball is in my court. I can’t rely on past games but must concentrate on the present. My concentration on the present need will determine the future. Will we do all we can to win our nation back to God? We need to recognize the spiritual vacuum that we have allowed by lack of taking a stand for the principles of a Godly nation.

In the television series called Dragnet a favorite statement of purpose in the investigation was, “Just the facts, only the facts”. Here are the facts that should propel us to prayer.
  • Prayer not allowed in schools
  • Ten commandments not allowed on public buildings (national and state)
  • Teachers can be fired for reading the Bible to their students.
  • Congress no longer begins its session with a chaplain praying to God for guidance.
  • God referred to as “higher being” which can mean a rock or a man or Grandfather or Grandmother.
  • Pastors can be imprisoned because they preach sermons against sin. (such as same sex marriages)

Prayer Thought:
Dear Jesus: we pray for our nation as written in your word. We pray for it’ welfare and the welfare of our Children. Please heal our nation. Jesus name. Amen



Thank you for joining in in prayer for our Christian nation. We will continue to keep the first thing first! That is salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. “[Born Again to a Living Hope] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” 1 Peter 1:3 ESV. Continue to join us in sharing His love. You'll find the request for prayer at http://www.admenu.com/am/praise.html. Please join us for prayer. I am not educated or a theologian so If I am wrong or mistaken please email me mlitew8@yahoo.com. I love prayerful correction and suggestions. To correspond with a pastor email Pastor Glen; pastorglenaycock@ymail.com. If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
