July 4th Celebration

I trust that each of you will have a safe and blessed 4th of July.  Let us remember the millions of Americans who are suffering from the devastation of the storms on the East Coast as well as the raging wild fires in some of our Western states.  Each of these families need to be in our prayers.

I would like to ask you to do three things on this special holiday in America.

1) Remember those valiant men and women who have served in our military as well as those who are presently serving.

2) Remember to pray for our nation.  The sleeping giant of intercessors must be awakened if we are going to see the heart of our nation turned back to God.

3) Remember to pray for your family.  The very fiber of the family is under attack and we need to heed the call from the Spirit to stand in the gap for our families.  No one can pray for your family like you can.  You carry a unique burden and concern for them that no one else carries regardless of how much those other individuals loves them.

We have heard the song, God Bless America, sang many times since 9-11-01.  Have we came to the point that we fully realize that we truly do need God to bless America?
