Last week i had the opportunity to be in Washington DC for 2 days. I was invited their by Past. Ken Wilde, the founder and director of the National Prayer Center. This trip turned out to be amazing! In the short time i was there, we toured the White House, the Capitol bldg, and many of the famous sites and memorials. In it all, I was so impressed with the city and proud to be an American like never before. As I was there, I was struck by several things that I would like to pass on to all of you concerning our nation and govt.

1. Watch- be aware of what is taking place around you and particularly in Washington DC. The policy and rulings that happen in the halls of our govt there are shaping our nation and world.

2. Pray- don’t just be mad or glad about the latest happening but be a person that truly stands in the gap. This means lifting up our leaders whether we AGREE OR NOT!

3. Participate- exercise your right to vote! don’t sit back and allow your voice to be silenced. A great price was paid for us to be able to speak out and we should never allow complacency or apathy to stop us.

4. Be encouraged- while there, we met with people and leaders and I was greatly encouraged. Yes, there is a spirit of anti-Christ that would try to take over our govt and nation, but yet there is still a remnant of righteous men and women who have been placed there strategically by the Holy Spirit.

Let us be vigilant to serve our Lord Jesus Christ while on this earth but also never forget the great privilege we have to live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. God Bless America!!!
