Prayer for Debate & Fast


I have combined prayers from Aziza, Tsitsi, Clarenda and others to come up with this prayer for the debates. I will be using it for many prayers beyond the debate and modifying it to fit the situation as I find the words to be very inspiring. I wanted to share this with you in case you like it and want to use it to. Here it is:


The LORD, the Mighty One in Battle. Jehovah, covenant keeping God. Hallowed be Thy holy name. Lord of Host. Captain of the Armies of Heaven. Our Creator. Our loving Father - we give You all the praise. We give You all the glory. We give You all the honor. We give You the Power.

The One who parts the mighty ocean with Your breath. The One who can kill and make alive. The Rock of Ages, Master Shepherd. O, King of Glory. All the nations adore You. All living things bear witness to Your rule. We behold the splendor of Your throne. We bow before You LORD. We submit entirely to Your will. We return the Glory to You.

Lord, we stand in the gap for the Nation and for Your servant Barack Obama. At a time like this when the peace and security and prosperity of our great country is threatened, our children's future is unsure, LORD we turn to You and take the authority that Jesus gave to us, we claim the land for You and pray that only Your will be done in this election.

Lord we turn to You and take the authority that Jesus gave to us, we clam favor upon Barack Obama in this upcoming debate. We claim his solid preparation, clear mind, wisdom, understanding of the issues, clarity of
speech, strong articulation, insightful discernment and his being solidly on message concerning the needs of the people and the nation to the awe and amazement of all who hear him.

Lord we take the authority that Jesus gave to us and we claim enlightenment for the American people that their eyes and ears are open to see and hear the truth about Barack Obama and that all prejudices, smears, doubts and fears are removed.

We take authority over the United States of America and we speak to the nation: "Be loose from the chains of darkness, from the spirits of blindness; be free from lies and deceit!"

Lord, we reclaim the White House for You. We claim the Oval office for Barack Obama. We declare that all forces in opposition to Your will in this presidential election be defeated and Your will be done in the White House.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

Prayer for tonight

Clarenda Jordan


My Lord,
What a journey this has become! We thank you for your presence and direction as we travel this long hard road to victory in November. Lord we thank you for the sense of peace you have given us in the midst of this storm. We thank you for the wisdom you have given our future president Barack Obama. In the midst of this turmoil Barack has responded with calm, wisdom and peace which we know comes from you. We asked for transparency and truth and Lord once again you have answered our prayers. We see the responses of both men to our financial mess and each day the eyes of America are being opened to the temperament and leadership style of each man. Lord this crisis is showing the true character of each man in a way no commercial or debate could ever do. Father all I can say is thank you! Thank you for allowing us to share in the bringing forth of your will here on earth. Tonight we continue to hold up the campaign before you and ask for your
protection and blessings. We ask that our territory continue to increase and more and more people will be set free from the lies and deception of the McCain campaign. We pray for power and strength and a clear mind for Barack as he meets with President Bush to discuss the financial mess. Lord let him side step any traps or snares they lay before him to trip him up. Let the vicious smears and evil ads being launched against him fail. Let not this latest ploy interrupt Barack's preparation for the debate but let him speak clearly with power and wisdom on Friday night. Open the ears of America and our hearts to accept the leader you have chosen for us. Keep us on our knees before you, protect us from the evil one.
All the glory, honor and praise is Yours on earth and in heaven
Amen

Count Your Blessings

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:

I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many
angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and
scraps from people all over t he world..

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to t he living persons who asked for them. "I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment
Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed "How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked
.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings
that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."

"What blessings should they acknowledge? " I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If
you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in
the world who has that opportunity. "

< BR>"If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … You
are ahead of 700 million people in the world."

"If you can attend a mosque /church without the fear of harassment,
arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than,
three billion people in the world."

"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very
rare."

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're
unique to all those in doubt and d
espair."

OK, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in
that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more
blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at
all.

Have a good day, count your blessings

Acknowledge Dept.: "Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share
this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it
with…"


Blessings with love
