Tuesday August 12, 2014 “Guarding Gates”

Nehemiah 13:22   And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day.  Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!”
Yesterday we prayed about the power of cleansing.  Today we will pray in agreement that following the cleansing of God’s people they will be ready to guard the gates so the inhabitants will not be influenced to neglect the Sabbath of the Lord.
Pray that wise men of God like Nehemiah will boldly speak to believers that they guard the gates of their hearts (eyes and ears and mouths) so they then might be able to speak with authority concerning the things that Satan is using to bring corruption to America.  Remember what is in the hearts will eventually come out of the mouth.  Corruption or blessing is the result of our words the Bible teaches us.
Special Prayer Focus:   Please pray for families of loved ones lost on the recent airline crashes and the one shot down in Ukraine. Pray that the situations be handled wisely by the world community, especially by our country.  Pray that truth be revealed concerning who was responsible.   Also pray for the crisis in Israel concerning Gaza and Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.  Pray for the protection of innocent lives and that the world community will see the situation through the eyes of truth.  Finally, pray that the United States continue to support our strongest ally in that area of the world, Israel, for in doing so we will be blessed.  Genesis 12:3
