Need Prayer? Send us a text on how we can pray for you!
We fight three battles daily: cultivating a humble and grateful heart, pursuing a relationship with God through scripture and prayer, and supporting one another through protective intercession.
• Getting aligned with God requires checking our complaints and cultivating gratitude
• The Bible warns strongly against co-signing loans and becoming entangled in debt
• We should learn diligence from the ant, who works without supervision or external motivation
• God hates seven things: pride, lying, violence, wicked planning, rushing to evil, false testimony, and creating division
• Christians should be mindful of their speech, avoiding perverse and undisciplined language
• Adultery destroys communities and families by violating trust between neighbors
• Walking in a biblical worldview means applying scripture to every area of life
Put on the full armor of God, strap on the shield of faith, pick up the sword of the spirit. Join each other in the shield wall, locking shields to the left and right as we march forward to take ground for God's kingdom and glory.

Christian Warrior Mission trains believers to stand firm in a collapsing world.
We are a discipleship ministry, home-based warrior church, and working farm that comes alongside local churches—not to replace them, but to strengthen them by equipping men and women to lead, protect, provide, and disciple according to God’s Word.
We train across the Seven Battlefields:
Faith • Family • Fitness • Fundamentals • Finances • Fellowship • Fidelity
This is not a place for spectators, excuses, or passive Christianity.
This is where believers learn to pick up the Sword of Scripture, fortify their households, and lock shields with other warriors in Christ.
We build households that stand. We strengthen churches. We prepare saints for real-world battle.
No retreat. No surrender. Christ is King.

Battle number one Brandy Hipp.
(05:08):
Good morning to you.
Battle number one out of theway.
Let's go ahead and get in theBible to our Bibles, proverbs 6
(05:29):
and I'm going to warn you guys,the language is a little archaic
.
I didn't want to jump around Indifferent translations, so I'll
try to help you make sense Someof the more archaic words.
Again, I'm out of the LSB today, as I usually am.
I sometimes go to the ESV.
(05:51):
If you're going to own oneBible, I recommend it be the ESV
study Bible.
It is phenomenal.
Okay, bring up.
So, my son, if you have become aguarantor of your neighbor,
okay.
So this means that if you'veco-signed for your neighbor
co-sign would be the more modernterm for that have struck your
(06:12):
hands in a pledge for a stranger.
Same thing If you have beensnared with the words of your
mouth, meaning you have donesomething you shouldn't have, by
doing this, have been caught inthe words of your mouth.
Do this then, my son, anddeliver yourself, since you have
come into the hand of yourneighbor.
Go humble yourself and badgeryour neighbor.
(06:35):
They're saying go, do whateverit takes.
Go knock on the door, go pleadwith them.
Give them no rest to get out ofthis, give no sleep to your
eyes nor slumber to your eyelids.
Deliver yourself like a gazellefrom the hunter's hand and like
a bird from the hand of thefoaler.
(06:55):
Okay.
So, again, what we're talkingabout here is, if you co-sign
with someone, do everything youcan to get out of it.
The Bible does not look kindlyupon debt.
It knows that debt becomes theslave master and that the slave
master will own you.
The deeper you go into debt,the more out of control it
(07:19):
becomes.
It becomes your all-consumingthing and you can't focus on the
things that God wants you tofocus on.
We all need to make sacrificesand again it's going to talk
about this multiple places inthe Bible to try to get out of
as much debt as you can, to bedebt free.
So now let's go on to some moredivine wisdom, verse 6.
(07:46):
Go to the aunt O sluggard.
Basically, you lazy person,observe her ways and be wise.
Which, having no chief officeror ruler, okay.
Which basically means that whenyou're sitting there and you're
watching ants go by, no one'sdirecting traffic there.
They're all just great workersand they're just a great example
(08:06):
of everyone doing their partPrepares her food in the summer
and gathers her provisions inthe harvest.
How long will you lie down, osluggard?
When will you rise from yoursleep?
A little sleep, a littleslumber, a little folding of the
hands to rest.
(08:27):
Okay, your poverty will come inlike a vagabond and you're
wanting like an armed man?
All right, that's like.
Basically, your poverty willcome in like kick in your door
and overpower you.
You know those are stillthreats today and they happen
all across the country.
(08:48):
But back in ancient times,before alarm systems and 911
calls and you know cell phonesand modern response systems, you
know people coming in to robyou in the middle of the night
and overpower you was a veryreal threat, way more than is so
today, um, and that yourpoverty will come upon you like
(09:12):
that.
So, picking up in verse 12,vile person, a wicked man, is
the one who walks with aperverse mouth.
Okay, um, christians are.
You'll notice somethingdepending on how long you've
(09:34):
been around Christians, you'llsee that mature Christians cost
far less than the population.
If, when I am around my oldfriends from the neighborhood in
Boston, every other word oftheirs is a swear word, now, I
(09:56):
wish I didn't swear at all, butI'm a flawed man and when I get
angry and I get passionate, itstill comes out of me and I pray
to dear Lord Jesus that hetakes that from me and helps me
deal with that and I become what?
Disciplined.
It's a lack of discipline.
It's also a lack of vocabulary.
(10:17):
I listen to my friends and Ilove them and they're
intelligent.
They become so lazy in theirspeech that every other word is
a cuss word for filler, becausethey can't think of any more
power, a more powerful oreloquent way to say anything.
They fill it with swear words,which just makes them sound
(10:38):
stupid.
I'm not you guys know me, I'mnot a guy who uses excessively
long, complex words.
Just to say what I try to useEffective communication language
, not too complex, not too basic.
And last night I preached asermon where I think I went too
(10:59):
basic in my language, where Ifelt like I was spoon-feeding,
almost, you know, like oatmeal,instead of cutting up some steak
for people.
So I'm going to dial it back up.
(11:19):
But again, you know, a perversemouth.
What comes out of your mouth?
Your mouth is one of the mostdangerous and your tongue is one
of the most dangerous thingsfor your salvation.
Okay, so let's go back to this.
Pick the inverse thing Winkswith his eyes, signals with his
feet, points with his figures.
(11:40):
Who is perverse in his heart,continually devises evil.
Who is perverse and his heartcontinually devises evil.
Who spreads contentions.
Therefore, his disaster willcome suddenly, instantly, he
will be broken and there will beno healing.
Okay, again, this is someonewho divides people, spreads
(12:08):
contentions.
Who's the strife creator?
So we go down to 16, verse 16.
There are six things whichYahweh hates, even seven which
are an abomination to himHaughty eyes.
So these are proud eyes.
These are eyes that make youthink you're better than what
you are.
These are things that make youthink you're better than what
you are.
These are things God hates.
If you are doing these things,stop, turn to the Lord, repent.
(12:34):
Okay, so here we are.
Haughty eyes, proud, arroganteyes, a lying tongue, hands that
shed innocent blood, a heartthat devises wicked thoughts,
feet that hasten to run to evil,a false witness who breathes
(12:56):
out lies and one who spreadsstrife among the brothers.
Now, all those are obviously soevil, haughty eyes.
People might not think so, butthat shows a disproportionate,
immediate lack or improperalignment with god, coming to
(13:17):
him proud and arrogant when youare bacteria under his feet, you
know, um, and the one who'sbeen strife among the brothers.
We see so much of this today insocial media, with clickbait
posts, and men who I reallyadmire a lot of their teachings
fall short on this.
You know they'll say, hey,we're speaking truth or doing
(13:42):
things, but I see them do itwith things that are not
salvation-based.
Mark Driscoll is notorious forthis, for doing clickbaits,
where he'll come up there andhe'll talk about cessationists
and he'll say somethingextremely inflammatory and other
things.
And I think Mark Driscoll's gota lot of things that he's
really good on, particularlywith masculinity and living
(14:04):
today and a lot of differentthings.
And then there's other thingswhere I think he's off.
But one of the worst things hedoes is commit strife among
brothers, which I've been guiltyof and I've got to constantly
check myself.
This is just needlessly divisionamongst us, to where my rule
(14:24):
now is if you walk out abiblical worldview, which
basically means you apply theBible to your whole life and
you're trying to apply the Bibleto your whole life, I can work
with you.
I can work with you on things.
I can be in fellowship with youand we are good to go.
Okay, you may like see somethings different.
(14:45):
You may disagree with whatGod's doing behind the curtain
(16:12):
or how salvation works, or whatworship should look like, what
food you can drink or what youcan't, or what you can't drink
or all these other things.
I am willing to go to war withyou and fight alongside you,
because many of those things, aslong as it's not a salvation
(16:32):
issue, as long as it's not asalvation issue.
So the other things, how fancyyou want to dress a church, you
know how you want your serviceto run, it doesn't really matter
to me, okay, all I care is thatyou love, you know that you
(16:55):
love God with all your heart.
You're trying to do what hesays.
That's what matters.
So, anyways, so, anyways, um.
So this last one is the longestone and, um, and I think,
sometimes one of the hardestones, and it's this, my son
(17:16):
observe the commandment of yourfather and do not abandon the
law of your mother.
Bind them continually on yourheart, tie them around your neck
.
When you walk about, they willlead you.
When you sleep, they will keepwatch over you.
When you awake they will speakto you, for the commandment is a
(17:38):
lamp and the law is the lightand reproof for discipline by
the way of life.
So here, that's all inpreparation, to say that keep
the laws of God, commandmentsright.
And here, what is pretty longyou know preface about, and it's
(18:00):
here it is in verse 24.
To keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the
foreign woman.
Do not desire her beauty inyour heart, nor let her capture
you with her eyelids.
This line here for an account ofa harlot one is reduced to a
(18:22):
loaf of bread.
Basically means I've checkeddifferent translations and the
one that makes the most senseout of this grab that you can
hire a hooker for a loaf ofbread.
Okay, so a harlot one isreduced to a loaf of bread.
So you are reduced to whateverit is that it costs a loaf of
bread.
(18:42):
When you lower yourself to bewith a prostitute and an
adulterous hunts for a preciouslife, can a man take fire in his
bosom and his clothes not beburned?
No, you can't have a fire inyour lap and not be burned.
Or can a man walk on hot coalsand his feet not be scorched?
(19:06):
So is the one who goes into hisneighbor's wife, whoever
touches her, will not gounpunished.
We're called to love ourneighbor, and here we're talking
about someone who sleeps withhis neighbor's wife or has sex
with his neighbor's wife or goesinto his neighbor's wife.
(19:26):
Whoever touches her will not gounpunished.
Men do not despise a thief if hesteals.
Men do not despise a thief ifhe steals to fill himself when
he is hungry.
So basically what he's saying.
We're saying there in verse 30,men do not despise a thief if
he steals to fill himself whenhe's hungry.
If you're hungry, there's noexcuse to steal from somebody.
(19:47):
So if you're horny there's noreason to go sleep with your
neighbor's wife.
But when he is found he mustpay sevenfold.
So whatever you steal, you mustpay back sevenfold.
If you steal $100, you're goingto give back $700.
He must give all the substanceof his house.
(20:09):
The one who commits adulterywith a woman is lacking a heart
of wisdom.
He who would destroy his souldoes it.
He who would destroy his souldoes it Again.
Archaic language, but you getit.
Wounds and disgrace, he willfind.
Language, but you get it.
(20:31):
Wounds and disgrace he willfind.
And his reproach will not beblotted out, for jealousy
enrages a man and he will notspare.
In the day of vengeance.
He will not accept any ransom.
He will not be willing, thoughyou give many bribes, talking
about the punishment coming forsomeone who sleeps with
someone's wife and of course,the other way around, right.
(20:58):
So again, the bible takesinfidelity very seriously and
nothing you know today, althoughthat people talk about there
being scarcity of upsharing here.
(21:18):
You know a scarcity of womenwhere you look at social media
and you see what people aresaying out there is that,
particularly with these secularwomen, that all these secular
women want men who are over sixfoot, not six foot, tall, isn't
good enough anymore.
(21:39):
You got to be six foot two, youknow, you got to be ripped, you
got to make, you know, and yougot to make $250,000 minimum or
a million dollars, whatever.
So what you have is .00, zero,like zero, one percent of the
population, and this is whatevery woman who is like a five
(22:04):
on a scale of one to ten thinksthat they're going to get, which
, of course, they're not goingto get.
So what happens is you have abunch of men at the top, or the
small percentage who have thechoice of a lot of women who, or
the small percentage who havethe choice of the lot women who,
and then those men are notgoing to commit to somebody less
(22:27):
than a point zero, zero, zero,zero.
One woman, which is basicallyalmost none of those girls, and
so they're saying that there's adisparity in the availability.
Brandy, have a good day ofwomen for men
today.
But I think it's always beenthis way, for the most part
(22:47):
Because you got to rememberpeople back in the day had to
walk everywhere or ridesomewhere.
So unless you lived in a cityor a population center, you
weren't really exposed to a lotof women, which is why a lot of
arranged marriages happened,because you didn't see a lot of
women depending on where youlived.
And if you didn't see a lot ofwomen, your neighbor having.
(23:12):
Think of this again no police,no 911, no nothing.
You're out there a farmer in ahut, working a land with your
wife, and you've got neighborsaround you who see your wife
know you're going off to market,and off to market to sell your
harvest or go do work isn't adaily or an hourly thing, it
(23:33):
sometimes is a week or a monththing.
So you can see how this woulddestroy community, how this
still destroys community anddestroys family with the
adultery.
So that's why God tells us tolove our neighbor.
He also says love your brotherin his newest commandment, but
(23:57):
love your neighbor becausethat's where freedoms collide.
My freedom to do what I want onmy property collides with your
freedom that you want to do onyour property.
You're like well, that's easy,jay.
No, it's not.
My freedom to want to shoot onmy property collides with your
freedom of wanting to have peaceand quiet.
That's the easiest one I canthink of.
(24:19):
All right, so again, I hopethis was valuable to you and
that this helpsyou.
So let's go ahead and close itout and pray for one another.
Heavenly Father, lord, we thankeach other.
Thank you for the men and womenwho are participating in this
Bible study.
Lord, we thank you for all thatwe have.
(24:39):
Lord, I pray that each andevery one here will have
discernment, understand the texttoday, despite my inaccuracy to
explain it.
Your Holy Spirit would revealto them your infinite wisdom.
Lord, I pray that this Biblestudy show would reach people
(25:01):
that need it and I would use itto hold them closer to
you.
Lord, I pray a prayer ofprotection, peace over this
fellowship, over the persecutedchurch, our troops overseas, our
first responders at home andour veterans of yesteryear.
I pray for our beloved America.
(25:24):
I pray that she would turn fromher sin, hit her knees, repent
and seek your face, and that youwould see her and heal her, so
that we could once again becomeone nation under God.
Indivisible Liberty, justicefor all.
Now I call this fellowship toput on the full armor of God,
(25:47):
strap on the shield of faith,pick up the sword of the spirit.
Join each other in the shieldwall, locking shields to the
left and right.
As we march forward to takeground for your kingdom, your
glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.

(08:27):
Okay, your poverty will come inlike a vagabond and you're

So, picking up in verse 12,vile person, a wicked man, is
the one who walks with aperverse mouth.
Okay, um, christians are.
You'll notice somethingdepending on how long you've
(09:34):
been around Christians, you'llsee that mature Christians cost
far less than the population.
If, when I am around my oldfriends from the neighborhood in
Boston, every other word oftheirs is a swear word, now, I
(09:56):
wish I didn't swear at all, butI'm a flawed man and when I get
angry and I get passionate, itstill comes out of me and I pray
to dear Lord Jesus that hetakes that from me and helps me
deal with that and I become what?
Disciplined.
It's a lack of discipline.
It's also a lack of vocabulary.
(10:17):
I listen to my friends and Ilove them and they're
intelligent.
They become so lazy in theirspeech that every other word is
a cuss word for filler, becausethey can't think of any more
power, a more powerful oreloquent way to say anything.
They fill it with swear words,which just makes them sound
(10:38):
stupid.
I'm not you guys know me, I'mnot a guy who uses excessively
long, complex words.
Just to say what I try to useEffective communication language
, not too complex, not too basic.
And last night I preached asermon where I think I went too
(10:59):
basic in my language, where Ifelt like I was spoon-feeding,
almost, you know, like oatmeal,instead of cutting up some steak
for people.
So I'm going to dial it back up.
(11:19):
But again, you know, a perversemouth.
What comes out of your mouth?
Your mouth is one of the mostdangerous and your tongue is one
of the most dangerous thingsfor your salvation.
Okay, so let's go back to this.
Pick the inverse thing Winkswith his eyes, signals with his
feet, points with his figures.
(11:40):
Who is perverse in his heart,continually devises evil.
Who is perverse and his heartcontinually devises evil.
Who spreads contentions.
Therefore, his disaster willcome suddenly, instantly, he
will be broken and there will beno healing.
Okay, again, this is someonewho divides people, spreads
(12:08):
contentions.
Who's the strife creator?
So we go down to 16, verse 16.
There are six things whichYahweh hates, even seven which
are an abomination to himHaughty eyes.
So these are proud eyes.
These are eyes that make youthink you're better than what
you are.
These are things that make youthink you're better than what
you are.
These are things God hates.
If you are doing these things,stop, turn to the Lord, repent.
(12:34):
Okay, so here we are.
Haughty eyes, proud, arroganteyes, a lying tongue, hands that
shed innocent blood, a heartthat devises wicked thoughts,
feet that hasten to run to evil,a false witness who breathes
(12:56):
out lies and one who spreadsstrife among the brothers.
Now, all those are obviously soevil, haughty eyes.
People might not think so, butthat shows a disproportionate,
immediate lack or improperalignment with god, coming to
(13:17):
him proud and arrogant when youare bacteria under his feet, you
know, um, and the one who'sbeen strife among the brothers.
We see so much of this today insocial media, with clickbait
posts, and men who I reallyadmire a lot of their teachings
fall short on this.
You know they'll say, hey,we're speaking truth or doing
(13:42):
things, but I see them do itwith things that are not
salvation-based.
Mark Driscoll is notorious forthis, for doing clickbaits,
where he'll come up there andhe'll talk about cessationists
and he'll say somethingextremely inflammatory and other
things.
And I think Mark Driscoll's gota lot of things that he's
really good on, particularlywith masculinity and living
(14:04):
today and a lot of differentthings.
And then there's other thingswhere I think he's off.
But one of the worst things hedoes is commit strife among
brothers, which I've been guiltyof and I've got to constantly
check myself.
This is just needlessly divisionamongst us, to where my rule
(14:24):
now is if you walk out abiblical worldview, which
basically means you apply theBible to your whole life and
you're trying to apply the Bibleto your whole life, I can work
with you.
I can work with you on things.
I can be in fellowship with youand we are good to go.
Okay, you may like see somethings different.
(14:45):
You may disagree with whatGod's doing behind the curtain
(16:12):
or how salvation works, or whatworship should look like, what
food you can drink or what youcan't, or what you can't drink
or all these other things.
I am willing to go to war withyou and fight alongside you,
because many of those things, aslong as it's not a salvation
(16:32):
issue, as long as it's not asalvation issue.
So the other things, how fancyyou want to dress a church, you
know how you want your serviceto run, it doesn't really matter
to me, okay, all I care is thatyou love, you know that you
(16:55):
love God with all your heart.
You're trying to do what hesays.
That's what matters.
So, anyways, so, anyways, um.
So this last one is the longestone and, um, and I think,
sometimes one of the hardestones, and it's this, my son
(17:16):
observe the commandment of yourfather and do not abandon the
law of your mother.
Bind them continually on yourheart, tie them around your neck
.
When you walk about, they willlead you.
When you sleep, they will keepwatch over you.
When you awake they will speakto you, for the commandment is a
(17:38):
lamp and the law is the lightand reproof for discipline by
the way of life.
So here, that's all inpreparation, to say that keep
the laws of God, commandmentsright.
And here, what is pretty longyou know preface about, and it's
(18:00):
here it is in verse 24.
To keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the
foreign woman.
Do not desire her beauty inyour heart, nor let her capture
you with her eyelids.
This line here for an account ofa harlot one is reduced to a
(18:22):
loaf of bread.
Basically means I've checkeddifferent translations and the
one that makes the most senseout of this grab that you can
hire a hooker for a loaf ofbread.
Okay, so a harlot one isreduced to a loaf of bread.
So you are reduced to whateverit is that it costs a loaf of
bread.
(18:42):
When you lower yourself to bewith a prostitute and an
adulterous hunts for a preciouslife, can a man take fire in his
bosom and his clothes not beburned?
No, you can't have a fire inyour lap and not be burned.
Or can a man walk on hot coalsand his feet not be scorched?
(19:06):
So is the one who goes into hisneighbor's wife, whoever
touches her, will not gounpunished.
We're called to love ourneighbor, and here we're talking
about someone who sleeps withhis neighbor's wife or has sex
with his neighbor's wife or goesinto his neighbor's wife.
(19:26):
Whoever touches her will not gounpunished.
Men do not despise a thief if hesteals.
Men do not despise a thief ifhe steals to fill himself when
he is hungry.
So basically what he's saying.
We're saying there in verse 30,men do not despise a thief if
he steals to fill himself whenhe's hungry.
If you're hungry, there's noexcuse to steal from somebody.
(19:47):
So if you're horny there's noreason to go sleep with your
neighbor's wife.
But when he is found he mustpay sevenfold.
So whatever you steal, you mustpay back sevenfold.
If you steal $100, you're goingto give back $700.
He must give all the substanceof his house.
(20:09):
The one who commits adulterywith a woman is lacking a heart
of wisdom.
He who would destroy his souldoes it.
He who would destroy his souldoes it Again.
Archaic language, but you getit.
Wounds and disgrace, he willfind.
Language, but you get it.
(20:31):
Wounds and disgrace he willfind.
And his reproach will not beblotted out, for jealousy
enrages a man and he will notspare.
In the day of vengeance.
He will not accept any ransom.
He will not be willing, thoughyou give many bribes, talking
about the punishment coming forsomeone who sleeps with
someone's wife and of course,the other way around, right.
(20:58):
So again, the bible takesinfidelity very seriously and
nothing you know today, althoughthat people talk about there
being scarcity of upsharing here.
(21:18):
You know a scarcity of womenwhere you look at social media
and you see what people aresaying out there is that,
particularly with these secularwomen, that all these secular
women want men who are over sixfoot, not six foot, tall, isn't
good enough anymore.
(21:39):
You got to be six foot two, youknow, you got to be ripped, you
got to make, you know, and yougot to make $250,000 minimum or
a million dollars, whatever.
So what you have is .00, zero,like zero, one percent of the
population, and this is whatevery woman who is like a five
(22:04):
on a scale of one to ten thinksthat they're going to get, which
, of course, they're not goingto get.
So what happens is you have abunch of men at the top, or the
small percentage who have thechoice of a lot of women who, or
the small percentage who havethe choice of the lot women who,
and then those men are notgoing to commit to somebody less
(22:27):
than a point zero, zero, zero,zero.
One woman, which is basicallyalmost none of those girls, and
so they're saying that there's adisparity in the availability.
Brandy, have a good day ofwomen for men
today.
But I think it's always beenthis way, for the most part
(22:47):
Because you got to rememberpeople back in the day had to
walk everywhere or ridesomewhere.
So unless you lived in a cityor a population center, you
weren't really exposed to a lotof women, which is why a lot of
arranged marriages happened,because you didn't see a lot of
women depending on where youlived.
And if you didn't see a lot ofwomen, your neighbor having.
(23:12):
Think of this again no police,no 911, no nothing.
You're out there a farmer in ahut, working a land with your
wife, and you've got neighborsaround you who see your wife
know you're going off to market,and off to market to sell your
harvest or go do work isn't adaily or an hourly thing, it
(23:33):
sometimes is a week or a monththing.
So you can see how this woulddestroy community, how this
still destroys community anddestroys family with the
adultery.
So that's why God tells us tolove our neighbor.
He also says love your brotherin his newest commandment, but
(23:57):
love your neighbor becausethat's where freedoms collide.
My freedom to do what I want onmy property collides with your
freedom that you want to do onyour property.
You're like well, that's easy,jay.
No, it's not.
My freedom to want to shoot onmy property collides with your
freedom of wanting to have peaceand quiet.
That's the easiest one I canthink of.
(24:19):
All right, so again, I hopethis was valuable to you and
that this helpsyou.
So let's go ahead and close itout and pray for one another.
Heavenly Father, lord, we thankeach other.
Thank you for the men and womenwho are participating in this
Bible study.
Lord, we thank you for all thatwe have.
(24:39):
Lord, I pray that each andevery one here will have
discernment, understand the texttoday, despite my inaccuracy to
explain it.
Your Holy Spirit would revealto them your infinite wisdom.
Lord, I pray that this Biblestudy show would reach people
(25:01):
that need it and I would use itto hold them closer to
you.
Lord, I pray a prayer ofprotection, peace over this
fellowship, over the persecutedchurch, our troops overseas, our
first responders at home andour veterans of yesteryear.
I pray for our beloved America.
(25:24):
I pray that she would turn fromher sin, hit her knees, repent
and seek your face, and that youwould see her and heal her, so
that we could once again becomeone nation under God.
Indivisible Liberty, justicefor all.
Now I call this fellowship toput on the full armor of God,
(25:47):
strap on the shield of faith,pick up the sword of the spirit.
Join each other in the shieldwall, locking shields to the
left and right.
As we march forward to takeground for your kingdom, your
glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
All right, everyone.
God bless you.
I will see you tomorrow.
Bye.
