NEW SCHOOL PRAYER

BY A 15-year-old SCHOOL KID who got an A+ for this entry:
The Lord's Prayer Is not allowed in most US Public schools any more.
A kid in Minnesota, wrote the following.

NEW School Prayer:

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the State..

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles...
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen

OH, SINNERS, LET'S GO DOWN, DOWN IN THE RIVER TO PRAY

A Brief History of “Down to the River to Pray”

Michigan is the testing grounds for Islamic takeover in the U.S.

Get it? Islam is like the homosexual lobby. They want to cry that they are the victims, but the reality is that they are the aggressors. They complain about a permission slip for an off campus Bible study, saying it was a “violation of religion neutrality,” and within months they push the school board to accommodate Islamic prayers in public schools, even granting excused absences for student who leave early for Jumu-ah prayers.

Ann Barnhardt joins Glenn Beck in praying for the safety of our president

Those who follow and watch Glenn Beck (as we do) know that he has been worried about the president's safety for quite some time and he's pointed to the unnerving statements of Louis Farrakhan.

Now Glenn has been joined by what might seem, at first glance, to be an unlikely 'bedfellow'-- Ann Barnhardt:

Truly Scary

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - October 3, AD 2012 9:21 PM MST

I didn't watch the debate. I went over to a Friend's house and talked, read some Aquinas, and then talked some more. Then I went to Chick-Fil-A.

I find myself with an intense feeling of dread after reading the wrap-up comments.

Obama got his ass kicked, or to be more precise, kicked his own ass. From what people are saying, it seems clear that Obama did not prepare in any way, shape or form. More on point, Valerie Jarrett, Michelle Obama and David Axelrod did not force Obama to prepare. At all.

This implies two things. First, the "less-bad" implication:

No preparation was done because they know that the elections will be fixed and none of them care, least of all Barry who is a drug-addled imbecile and doesn't care about much beyond his next gram of coke and male fellation.

What really, really is bothering me and has me genuinely scared (yes, I do feel fear) is the fact that it can now no longer be denied that Barack Obama is worth more to his neo-Stalinist handlers dead than alive.
Someone has to say it. It might as well be me.

There has been buzz of a false-flag assassination attempt contingency plan among the Valerie Jarrett gang, but after this, I am genuinely scared that the false-flag assassination may no longer be a mere attempt, but a full-on JFK scenario.

Obama the man is now a liability to the putsch. These people are evil on a scale that most people cannot fathom, and Barry has only ever been a puppet and a tool to them.

Join me in praying for the safety of Barack Obama or whatever the hell his name is. He needs to be removed, arrested, tried and convicted for what he has done in the calmest, most orderly way possible. If his own handlers false-flag assassinate him, the entire world will fall into tyranny almost overnight, and my fear is that is exactly what they want, and they may be audacious and desperate enough to do it - especially after tonight. [Emphasis mine.]

Stay frosty. Pray hard.

OBAMA's PRAYER

Now I lay me down to sleep [3 hours after the Benghazi attacks began]
I pray the news will never seep [heh: media's always been in my pocket]
If it should break before I wake [nah: RINOS'll cover me anyway]
I pray it's Hillary's soul they rake [reason I hired that bitch anyway]

Muezzin Call to Prayer Broadcast Over Loudspeakers in Brooklyn…

WeaselZippers: VIDEO

Definition: MUZZEIN

UPDATE [from a friend]:

Parts of Brooklyn near the lovely Brooklyn Heights Promenade, are more Muslim than any Muslim country I’ve ever visited. It’s really scary to walk around there.

In fact, pre- 9/11 Al Qaeda literally had an office on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn.

Not only that, but the Muslims living in that part of Brooklyn at one time had a perfect view of the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan, which is kind of chilling.

Of course, all the surrounding areas to the Muslim neighborhood are filled with Left wing yuppies who preach multi-culti tolerance and love.

"More things are wrought by prayer/ Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice/ Rise like a fountain for me night and day."

From A Friend To Hitchens

Think of one thing you feel called to do that you have hesitated to begin...

...Pray about whether God is telling you to wait or you are holding back because you are afraid of failing.

UPDATE:

Remember Glen Beck's warning that socialists (in the spirit of James Cone and Black Liberation Theology) have infiltrated our churches here in the United States?

Well, I believe I have stumbled upon another twist in this story. I subscribe to Christianity.com "Daily Inspirations" (thought I could jump start my "someday I'll start reading the Bible everyday again" aspirations).

I occasionally quote from these because some of them are, well, inspirational!

But, here is a prominent ad that I saw when I was linking to the author of the above quote (and I debated deleting this post or not including the link)...it's a promo for a new book called "Radical":

Wess Stafford, president and CEO, Compassion Intl.

David challenges Christians to wake up, trade in false values rooted in the American dream, and embrace the notion that each of us is blessed by God for a global purpose

The warning signs are definitely the use of "false values rooted in the American dream" and "global purpose"!

Here is how WidiPedia (currently) describes the "American Dream":

The American Dream, sometimes in the phrase "Chasing the American Dream," is a national ethos of the United States in which freedom includes a promise of prosperity and success...

First of all, there are scriptures to support that God wants to prosper us in all areas of our life.

And there is much Bible Evidence For Prosperity

But here is the crux: We all know that it is the left wing of the Democratic Party who bashes America (led by Mr. Obama) at every chance they get. The author of "Radical" has chosen to focus on a slogan instead of on our constitution, and I believe that serves as a segue for him to try to further alienate people from their true heritage.

We need to separate phrases like "The American Dream", not to mention the one that seems to do nothing but irritate everyone above the age of Medicare -- "The Golden Years", from the actual fundamentals of our country, our Founding Fathers, and the reality of our individual freedom vs. totalitarian/communist/socialist countries and their true oppressive history. The "American Dream" may symbolize the freedom and prosperity many of us came to expect over the years, but in and of itself it is still a kind of slogan which has often been used in marketing goods and services. But the fact that our country offers freedom, prosperity, individual liberty and all the blessings we have had, is not a problem in Christian theology. It is only a problem for author David Platt, Mr. Stafford, and their ilk who try to play on the guilt that some have had (Democrats) for their success and then use it as a wedge to dislodge us all from the roots of freedom.

My opinion is that Wes Stafford and David Platt are, like the author and followers of "The Shack", using the Christian faith to promote their left wing fantasies and surreptitiously trying to co-opt it for use as a tool of the Progressive movement in this country.

Please: Read the review from Mr. Get Real who really digs into the whole issue.

Kudos to Glenn Beck for making this a public matter of discussion because the age-old technique of mixing the truth with a lie (or lies) has seduced many a well-meaning person into, by increments, going down the road to serfdom.

My Prayer for My Country

You need to read why Dennis Prager thinks that "The World Is a Cruel Place -- and If America Weakens, It Will Get Crueler"

Those of us working to remove Democrats from power regard this November's election as not only a referendum on the direction of America, but of the world itself.

When I was a teenager, my parents took me to see the famous spritual leader Ernest Holmes, founder of the Christian denomination called "Religous Science" (not at all related to "Christian Science").

I was just cleaning out some old files and found the following prayer "MY PRAYER for MY COUNTRY" written by Dr. Holmes and, after reading Dennis Prager's article above, I feel a great need to share this with you:

MY PRAYER for MY COUNTRY

Believing in the Divine destiny of the United States of America and in the preservation of liberty, security, and self-expression for all, I offer this, my prayer for my country:

I know that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of the United States of America, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide its affairs.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and are the Divine heritage of everyone in this country.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are now operating in the affairs of every individual in this country.

I know that Divine guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression.

I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

The All-Knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts this country. I know that every leader in this country is now directed by this All-Knowing Mind and has the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem. Each is compelled to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

And I know that this spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

You'll notice that I emphasized (in bold) these two items:

I know that Divine guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression.

and

I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

Ernest published his first book, "Creative Mind," in 1919 (two years after Woodrow Wilson, Progressive era intellectual, was narrowly re-elected as President of the United States).

In 1958, he advised:

We have launched a Movement which, in the next 100 years, will be the great new religious impulsion of modern times, far exceeding, in its capacity to envelop the world, anything that has happened since Mohammedanism started.

We have to have the same faith in what we teach and practice that the scientist has, or the gardener has, and when that great simplicity shall have plumbed and penetrated this density of ours, this human stolidness and stupidity, this debauchery of the intellect and the soul, something new and wonderful will happen. It is the only thing that will keep the world from destroying itself....

(Abstracted from the booklet Path of Discovery, prepared by Scott Awbrey, Los Angeles United Church of Religious Science, 1987.)

Can you tell that he, too, was facing those who were trying to convince everyone that, in order to be prosperous and secure, they neeeded to forfeit their individual liberty?

I can.

It is a plague visited upon all the men whose need to control and dominate others feeds their insecurities and desperate desires to live by climbing upon the bodies of all who deny them the worship they insist upon, extracting adulation from all their unwilling and terrified victims by any means available.

...look at how Obama is deteriorating in this way...

Yours in freedom.

Voluntary Prayer in Public Schools: 3/15/1984

On MARCH 15, 1984, the Senate voted down voluntary prayer in public schools. President Reagan said: "I am deeply disappointed that, although a majority of the Senate voted for it, the school prayer amendment fell short."

On September 25, 1982, Ronald Reagan said: "Unfortunately, in the last two decades we've experienced an onslaught of such twisted logic that if Alice were visiting America, she might think she'd never left Wonderland. We're told that it somehow violates the rights of others to permit students in school who desire to pray to do so. Clearly this infringes on the freedom of those who choose to pray, the freedom taken for granted since the time of our Founding Fathers."

Reagan continued: "To prevent those who believe in God from expressing their faith is an outrage...The relentless drive to eliminate God from our schools...should be stopped."

Ronald Reagan said February 25, 1984: "Sometimes I can't help but feel the First Amendment is being turned on its head."

Reagan told the Alabama Legislature, March 15, 1982: "The First Amendment was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny."

American Minute with Bill Federer

"Surely I was born for more than this."

...Sound familiar? Have you ever had a gnawing hunger and restless burden of wanting to do more and be more for God? If so, you are not alone. You were created with the craving to do your part to create a better world.

God is the fulfiller of dreams. I believe that at conception He begins writing dreams on each of our hearts. These deep dreams perfectly wed His purposes on the planet with the passion of our souls. In your heart today are the seeds of great imaginings of a future you hope for, long for, and dream of either consciously or subconsciously. God planted them there. They are the secret of your fulfillment.

Commemorating September 11 with Prayer

2:01 PM Eastern on Wednesday August 19th: a moment of silence

Please join us at 2:01 PM Eastern time on Wednesday August 19, 2009 for one moment of silence as we bow our heads across the nation from the eastern most shores of Maine, to the western most island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska to Nature’s God as we again ask for the protection of Divine Providence.

August 19th is an important date in American history it is the day we fought the final battle of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Blue Licks, and it is the day that the grande dame of our Navy, the USS Constitution (how much more fitting can that be for those of us that swore allegiance to her namesake) scored our first victory of the second war of independence, the War of 1812, against the British ship the HMS Guerriere and earned her immortal nickname “old ironsides” as the British cannon balls bounced off her hull. The dark side of this day occurred 75 years ago in Germany when the position of the Führer was created by the simple majority of a democratic vote.

At the appointed hour on the August 19, 2009 let us take courage from the deeds of our history and resolve never to allow the dark passions of a desperate world to stain our national soul by believing that any one man or group of men are above the Constitution that empowers them. Let us move forward in our sworn duty, “with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,” to guard our Constitution and our Republic from all enemies both foreign and domestic.

The Golden Key

by Emmet Fox


Scientific prayer will enable you to get yourself or anyone else, out of any difficulty. It is the golden key to harmony and happiness.


To those who have no acquaintance with the mightiest power in existence, this may appear to be a rash claim, but it needs only a fair trial to prove that, without a shadow of doubt, it is a just one. You need take no one's word for it, and you should not. Simply try it for yourself.


God is omnipotent, and we are God's image and likeness and have dominion over all things. This is the inspired teaching, and it is intended to be taken literally, at its face value. The ability to draw on this power is not the special prerogative of the mystic or the saint, as is so often supposed, or even of the highly trained practitioner. Everyone has this ability Whoever you are, wherever you may be, the golden key to harmony is in your hand now. This is because in scientific prayer it is God who works, and not you, and so your particular limitations or weaknesses are of no account in the process. You are only the channel through which the divine action takes place, and your treatment will be just the getting of yourself out of the way.


Beginners often get startling results the first time, for all that is essential is to have an open mind and sufficient faith to try the experiment. Apart from that, you may hold any views on religion, or none.


As for the actual method of working, like all fundamental things, it is simplicity itself. All you have to do is this: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead. This is the complete rule, and if only you will do this, the trouble, whatever it is, will disappear. It makes no difference what kind of trouble it is. It may be a big thing or a little thing: it may concern health, finance, a lawsuit, a quarrel, an accident, or anything else conceivable: but whatever it is, stop thinking about it and think of God instead -- that is all you have to do.


It could not be simpler, could it? God could scarcely have made it simpler, and yet it never fails to work when given a fair trial.


Do not try to form a picture of God, which is impossible. Work by rehearsing anything or everything that you know about God. God is wisdom, truth, inconceivable love. God is present everywhere, has infinite power, knows everything, and so on. It matters not how well you may think you understand these things: go over them repeatedly.


But you must stop thinking of the trouble, whatever it is. The rule is, to think about God. If you are thinking about your difficulty, you are not thinking about God. To be continually glancing over your shoulder in order to see how matters are progressing is fatal, because it is thinking of the trouble, and you must think of God and nothing else. Your object is to drive the thought of the difficulty out of your consciousness, for a few moments at least, substituting for it the thought of God. This is the crux of the whole thing. If you can become so absorbed in this consideration of the spiritual world that you forget for a while about the difficulty, you will find that you are safely and comfortably out of your difficulty -- that your demonstration is made.


In order to "golden key" a troublesome person or a difficult situation, think. "Now 1am going to 'golden key' John, or Mary. or that threatened danger": then proceed to drive all thought of John, or Mary, or the danger out of your mind, replacing it with the thought of God.


By working in this way about a person, you are not seeking to influence his conduct in any way, except that you prevent him from injuring or annoying you, and you do him nothing but good. Thereafter, he is certain to be in some degree a better, wiser, and more spiritual person, just because you have "golden keyed" him. A pending lawsuit or other difficulty would probably fade out harmlessly without coming to a crisis, justice being done to all parties concerned.


If you find that you can do this very quickly, you may repeat the operation several times a day with intervals between. Be sure, however, each time you have done it, that you drop all thought of the matter until the next time. This is important.


We have said that the golden key is simple, and so it is, but of course it is not always easy to turn. If you are very frightened or worried, at first it may be difficult to get your thoughts away from material things. But by constantly repeating a statement of absolute Truth, such as: There is no power but God: I am the child of God, filled and surrounded by the perfect peace of God: God is love; God is guiding me now; or, perhaps best and simplest of all. God is with me -- however mechanical or trite it may seem -- you will soon find that the treatment has begun to "take." And that your mind is clearing. Do not struggle violently; be quiet, but insistent. Each time you find your attention wandering, switch it back to God.


Do not try to think in advance what the solution to your difficulty will be. This is called "outlining" and will only delay the demonstration. Leave the question of ways and means to God. You want to get out of your difficulty that is sufficient. You do your half, and God will never fail to do God's.


"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).
