Lion of the tribe of Judah

God, You are the Lion of the tribe of Judah. ROAR across this state, command attention and speak to the hearts of South Dakotans. Lord, we plead for your compassion. We have taken the blessings You have given us for granted and followed after idols of personal choice. We ignored You. Lord, forgive us for our idolatry and heal our land!

Hosea 11:1-4, 8-10
When Israel was a youth I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. The more they called them, the more they went from them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols. Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, and I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; and I bent down and fed them…How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? Ho can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, all my compassions are kindled. I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath. They will walk after the Lord, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar and His sons will come trembling from the west.

Eternal Value

Pray this prayer over the children whose lives are uncertain, waiting for their mothers to choose life. Those children are precious to the Lord and have eternal value in God’s eyes.

Romans 9:25-26 As [God] says also in Hosea, “I will call those who were not My People, ‘My People,’ and her who was not beloved, ‘Beloved.’ And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My People,’ there they shall be called sons of the living God.”

Daniel Prayer

Our prayer today is the same prayer that Daniel prayed long ago. God, let your face shine on South Dakota. For Your name’s sake, forgive, heal and remove the blood guilt desolation caused by abortion!
Daniel 9:17-19So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, let your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary. O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

God is in Control

Praise the Father for His sovereignty! He is in control!

Revelations 7:9-12—“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"

The Heart of the Issue

Please pray for the HEARTS of South Dakotans to be grieved over this issue.

Proverbs 21:1—“The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

Jul 23, 2008

Fear of the Lord

Pray for the FEAR OF THE LORD to be upon the Church.

Proverbs 14:26-27—“He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for His children it will be a refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.”

Volunteers/Finances/Resources/etc.

Please pray for VOLUNTEERS/FINANCES/RESOURCES/ETC. to arise.

Ephesians 3:14-21--"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Praise to the Victorious King!

Exodus 15:1-13, 18
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD :

"I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. "Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy. In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble. By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. "The enemy boasted, 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.' But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them. "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling...The LORD will reign for ever and ever."

Praise be to God for His love, faithfulness, power and victory! Starting as soon as Saturday, doctors are required to tell women seeking an abortion that the procedure will be terminating the life of a "whole, separate, unique, living human being." No longer can women be decieved by abortionists calling God's creation a "blob of tissue." God and Truth reign victorious in South Dakota and no scheme of the enemy can stand against His mighty power. "The Lord is a warrior" and He leads His redeemed with "unfailing love!"

Unhindering Love

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Jesus loved children. Pray that the people of South Dakota develop that same love for children, born and unborn!

Confusion in the Enemy's Camp

"During the last watch of the night the LORD looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion."

Exodus 14:24

Pray that, just as the Lord threw the Egyptian army into confusion and delivered the Israelites, He will send confusion in the camps of the enemy. This is a real war and there is a real enemy trying to oppress and destroy future generations. Pray that every attempt they make will be thwarted by the Lord and come to no avail.

Not Consumed

For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 3:6-7

Healing

He underwent surgery a few weeks ago and a recent complication required him to be in the hospital on antibiotics. He is back at work now, but please be praying that Dr. Oliver will experience complete healing and restoration.

God is the Solution

If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies.

Romans 8:31-33

Wake Up!

Ephesians 5:14-17

"Wake up, O Sleeper! Rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you. Be very careful, then, how you live--not as the unwise but as the wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."

Please pray that the church will wake up, rise up, and stand up for the unborn.

Prayer Warriors

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

James 5:13-18

Praise God!

Praise God! The 8th Circuit released their ruling last Friday that the SD law requiring abortionists to tell women that the abortion procedure "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being" is constitutional and must be complied with!

From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
