Creator God, we want our fellow citizens to know that our rights come from You and You alone. Help us pray effectively and persuade our neighbors effectively.

“Fifty percent (50%) of voters nationwide believe that the rights we enjoy as Americans were given to us by the government and the Constitution. A ScottRasmussen.com survey found that another 50% believe we were endowed by our Creator with certain rights that no government can take away.

This divided understanding is found across virtually all measured partisan and demographic groups. . . . ” (Excerpted from ScottRasmussen.com)

Half of all voters nationwide are wrong! The Declaration of Independence established the founding principles of our nation, which would be based on “securing,” an old-fashioned word for preserving, the rights given to us by God.  Read it for yourself:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . . ” (Read the whole declaration HERE.)

Pray for a correct understanding of our rights as Americans and where they come from. Download our prayer guide–Pray to Uphold the Constitution or call our office to order in bookmark form (1-800-USA-PRAY).

I pray that every citizen must know and be reminded frequently that regardless of what our government tries to tell us, our freedom comes from God not the government. For his way is the only way.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 NIV

Our rights are inalienable rights, God given to us who believe in Him and His Word as our wonderful Creator and Father God, Who sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to earth to live and die for us without committing any sin but taking our sin upon himself and being crucified in our place giving us mercy instead of punishment and bearing our sin upon himself to the death of said cross! Now we who believe in Him and His blood of atonement being shed for us who are now set free from all penalty of sin due to His payment on that cross, blesses us with complete freedom and life everlasting. Amen and amen! Hallelujah! ♥️

Thank you Lord, maker of all things, that you defend your principles and statutes. When the enemy comes in like a flood, you raise up a standard of righteousness against them. Part of that standard of righteousness is the sovereignty of you: the Creator. Sinners find submitting to your over lordship inconvenient, so they forget that it is true. Bring this principle of your divine rulership to remembrance in many and bring it to acquaintance to many more as only you can do.

Heavenly Father, we need you. As Truth becomes more diluted and twisted, may we recognize our source in You. Stir hearts to seek, pursue You, knowing You and Your word. May we see governing organizations as the man made structure & format not the wherewithal. I pray for Your wisdom, guidance and discernment for Your Honor.
