It seems prayer still upsets some people.Please read....
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas
Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what
they heard;"Heavenly Father,We come before you today To ask your
forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word
says,"Woe to those who call evil good", but that is exactly what we have
done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.We
have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.We have rewarded
laziness and called it welfare.We have killed our unborn and called it
choice.We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.We have
neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.We have coveted our
neighbour's possessions and called it ambition.We have polluted the
air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of speech and
expression. We have ridiculed the time honoured values of our forefathers
and called it enlightenment. Search us oh God, and know our hearts
today; Cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!" The response was
immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in
protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright
is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. The church is now receiving international
requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea
.Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio Program,
"TheRest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program
than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer
sweep over our Nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we
again can be called "one nation under God." If possible, please pass
this prayer on to your friends "If you don't stand for something, you
will fall for anything." Think about this.
From Patrick a servant of God and our Lord Jesus Christ |
