Mon. December 29th
For more than 15 years thousands of believers from coast to coast of this great land have joined us fasting twice weekly for the restoration of America and the protection of our military, police and firefighters. We now open up our company prayer time and invite believers to join us daily, cognizant of Heaven’s warning that we cannot allow one day to pass without prayer or evil will have renewed inroads to wreak havoc on our families. Each day we dawn the critical spiritual armor to protect our families and lift up our nation. In 30 minutes we praise, pray in the spirit, pray in repentance, pray for deliverance from evil’s reach & we read the most widely studied scripture passages in the world that day. We end with the biblical meditation of the rosary, prayed to God the Father, as punctuated by the greatest miracle of the 20th century when the heavens were rearranged while 75,000 watched in awe. We do this in 30 minutes that can be listened to on drive time, during the 4th Watch or as we right our priorities at day’s end. Sign up below and we will email you each day with the link to our prayer time. We hope to changes lives, families and the heights of our nation by making it convenient and pleasant to pray in a group each day rather than just talking about the Lord.
After He healed, raised the dead and walked on water, Jesus commanded us – Go and “Do Greater Things.” We want to take Him up on that.

1 John 2:3-11
3And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He who says “I know him” but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: 6he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 7Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 8Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still. 10He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it there is no cause for stumbling. 11But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Psalm
Psalms 96:1-3, 5-6
1O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! 2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 5For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but the LORD made the heavens. 6Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Gospel
Luke 2:22-35
22And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) 24and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” 25Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, 28he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; 30for mine eyes have seen thy salvation 31which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to thy people Israel.” 33And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; 34and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against 35(and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.”
