A Pastor With Guts!!!

A Pastor with GUTS!!

Thought you might enjoy this interesting
prayer given in Kansas at
the opening session of the Kansas House. It seems
prayer still upsets some
people. 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 t hat 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 neighbor's possessions
and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored 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, 'The Rest 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 you choose, please pass this prayer on to
your friends. 'If you don't stand for something,
you will fall for anything.'

Think about this: If you share  this
prayer with  everyone on your
e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be
heard by the world.

How many people in your address book will  
not receive this prayer.....

do you have the guts to pass it on?


Love ,and  God 's blessings on you today
