Spurgeon near the end of his life.

I would like to share this article with all of you.  I found it interesting because of the way the United States‘ new government seems to be headed.  Of course the Eastern Hemisphere, Canada and South America  has sure had it’s trouble with socialism, dictatorships and communism.  Even socialism in a small way such as in health care can be a detrimential situation I think.

I am learning as I read and want so much to have the ideas, goals and thoughts of Christ so I look to those who have walked the walk.  Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, was one of the get spiritual leaders in his life time.  He preached to 10,000,00 people, often up to 10 times a week in many different places. 

I encourage you to read this article as I feel that we need to be aware of our world so as to aleast know how to pray for it better.

19 day left until inauguration day.

For faithfulness as we pray for President-elect Barack Obama, the Vice President-Elect and other leaders.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  colossians 1:9

As the only sovereign God, the one to whom all our allegiance is due we bow before You now.  We ask, Lord, that You will enable us now to set askide all distractions and cares and focus our prayers on all our governmental leaders, especially our new President and Vice President.

Lord, make us faithful in prayer, even when we may not agree with those You have placed into authority over us.  You have told us to remain steadfast in intercession, asking for our leaders to be flodded with all knowledge of your will.  Hold God, enable us to become true and consistent intercessors, praying for our new President and his administration, today and every day.  In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Almighty God, as we stand here at this moment my future associates in the executive branch of government join me in beseeching that Thou will make full and complete our dedication to the service of the people in this throng, and their fellow citizens everywhere. 

Give us, we pray, the power to discern clearly right from wrong, and allow all our words and actions to be governed thereby, and by the laws of this land.  Especially we pray that our concern shall be for all the people regardless of station, race, or calling. 
may cooperation be permitted and be the mutual aim of those who, under the concepts of our Constitution, hold to differing political faiths; so that all may work for the good of our beloved country and Thy glory.  Amen.–Inaugural Address, January 20, 1953
