| | The Biblical Basis Of www.prayforourleaders.com Where do the Sacred Scriptures teach us to pray for our leaders? We are glad you asked! FIRST:
We always quote the English Translation of the Latin Vulgate (THE ORIGINAL BIBLE)to assure complete accuracy. Please call 1-800-437-5876, www.tanbooks.com SECOND: Let the Holy Word Of God do the majority of the work! Repeat these passages often, and let the Holy Word Of God penetrate deeply within your soul! God's Holy Words are much more powerful than anything we can say! THIRD:
Advertising messages must be repeated at least 7 times before most consumers take action! So, repeat the Holy Word Of God many times! "The sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God.)" (Ephesians 6: 17)
ARE YOUR WORDS MORE POWERFUL THAN GOD'S? We didn't think so!
3 MAJOR SCRIPTURE PASSAGES
ONE: 1 Timothy 2: 1 - 4. "I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Repeat these four verses about 10 times, and let this truth penetrate your soul. St. Paul's words here are inspired by the Holy Ghost and based on Jesus' own words in the Sermon On The Mount. "First of all" does not mean 2nd, or 3rd, or 10th on your list. It means first! "In high station" refers to high positions of authority and decision making within the Government and within the Church!!! We cannot "lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity" without holy leaders who make holy decisions and pass holy laws. We will never have HOLY LEADERSHIP unless we ask for holy leaders in prayer with perseverance. Remember, Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you." (St. Mathew 7: 7) Do not forget that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is much more powerful than the Holy Rosary or Chaplet of Divine Mercy!!! Please, give alms to have many Masses offered for individual leaders!!! It really accelerates a change of heart!!! Two: St. Mathew 7: 7. "Ask, and it shall be given you." These are Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus is THE WAY,THE TRUTH and THE LIFE (St. John 14: 6). If we want the repentance of some particular leader, then we must ask for it through perseverance in prayer! THREE: St. Mathew 5: 44 - 45. "But I say to you, love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: That you may be the children of your Father Who is in heaven, Who maketh His sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust." Our spiritual enemies are very numerous, and they are chiefly to be found among fallen angels, who are now demons, and the human beings who are tempted by fallen angels and cooperate with demons, by living an evil and disgraceful style of life. These souls fall victim to the world, the flesh and the devil. If we claim to be "the children of your Father Who is in heaven," then we must obey Our Lord and "pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:" Many political leaders are persecuting us in many subtle ways. Let us be merciful and pray for them!!!
Laws that allow abortion persecute the 5th Commandment. Laws that allow pornography persecute the 6th Commandment. Laws that allow divorce persecute the 9th Commandment. Laws that allow heavy taxation persecute the 10th Commandment. The teachings of your Catholic Church and the Commandments of God, are being blasphemed and persecuted in many various and subtle ways. Do you recognize subtle persecution when it is right in front of your eyes?
Wake up, Christian, from your slumber! Do what Jesus says!!! "PRAY FOR THEM THAT PERSECUTE AND CALUMNIATE YOU." ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURAL PASSAGES Apocalypse 12: 17: "And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." We are her seed!!! And we Christians try to keep the commandments, and we have the testimony of Jesus Christ, and Satan (the dragon) is making war on us! This is the most direct scriptural quotation that proves that we are in spiritual warfare! St. John 2: 5: "Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye." These are Mary's last recorded words in the entire Bible, and these words are sound spiritual advice, from the Queen of Heaven (Prefigured in the O. T. in 3 Kings 2: 19 and fulfilled in the N. T. in Apocalypse 12: 1) to follow the teachings of her Son, Jesus, the King of heaven (Apocalypse 12: 5) Ephesians 6: 12: "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; (fallen mankind) but against principalities and powers, (fallen angels from the nine choirs of angels who have fallen with Satan) against the rulers (sinful leaders) of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness (demonic infestation) in the high places." (high positions within the Church and within the governments) St. Mathew 17: 20: "But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting." Demons are not cast out by marches and picketing. St. Mark 9: 28: "This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." Demons are not cast out by petition drives and fundraising. St. Mathew 12: 43-45: "And when an unclean spirit (fallen angel) is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith: I will return into my house (your soul) from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (Vacant and ready for holiness) Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, (the seven demons attached to each of the seven deadly sins) and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation." (Our present generation is very wicked!!!) Demons do not care about your age! Demons want to occupy your soul, whether you are a newborn infant, or if you are 100 years old! Demons want to reside within your soul! St. Luke 6: 27-28: "But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you." (this is a repeat of Mathew 5: 44-45 from the Sermon On The Mount) Psalm 117: 8-9: "It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man. It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes." We need Christians to be Soldiers Of Christ and Crusaders For Christ! At Confirmation, when we become Soldiers Of Christ, the Bishop obligates us to wage spiritual warfare!
 Be willing to act like a Knight In Shining Armor! Are we willing to begin and undertake a Rosary Crusade, right within our own parish? Will we prove that we place our trust in the Lord with a Weekly Rosary Prayer Group? 4th Kings 5: 13: "His servants came to him (Naaman) and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt be clean?" Will you do this little thing rather than "some great thing"? Will you begin a weekly Rosary Prayer Group, in which children and teens take turns leading the decades of the Holy Rosary, within your own parish? (This is the concept of The WHITE ARMY) The White Army and the Blue Army should cooperate with each other within their own parish church!!! Cooperation, and not competition!!! Catholics should cooperate with one another in being merciful to big sinners!!! St. Luke 17: 21: "... For lo, the kingdom of God is within you." Every soul on earth is living either in a state of grace or not. If a soul dies in a state of grace, then that soul is on his way to heaven. But, if a soul dies not in the state of grace, then that soul is on the way to hell, the hell of the damned, "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished." (St. Mark 9: 43) St. Luke 15: 10: "So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance." There shall be joy in heaven if we can bring about the repentance of any pro-abortion Governor, or Senator, or Congressman, or President through our sacrificial and intercessory prayers! Let us make Heaven very joyful! St. Monica helped to obtain the grace necessary for the repentance of her son, St. Augustine, by perseverance in prayer for many years! St. Monica had mercy on her wayward son by praying for him with perseverance! St. Therese, the Little Flower (and now Doctor of the Church) helped to obtain the grace necessary for the repentance of the unrepentant prisoner, who was scheduled to be executed! Through her prayers! Saint Therese obtained God's mercy for him! Galatians 5: 19-21: "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornications, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God." St. Mathew 18: 2-6: "And Jesus calling unto Him a little child, set him in the midst of them, and said:
Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea." Are you humble enough to pray the Holy Rosary for one-hour-a-week with your own children in your own parish church??? We need a Rosary Crusade, and The White Army of children and teens, leading the decades of the Holy Rosary, is the best method to use in undertaking A ROSARY CRUSADE in your own parish!!! PRAYER OBTAINS THE GRACE OF GOD AND TURNS HEARTS TO THE LORD!!! THE FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER!!! THE PARISH THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER!!!

 Be a "Good Shepherd" to your children! Pray the Holy Rosary with them, Every week in your local parish church! |
God gave us knees so that we could genuflect and kneel in service to Him! A man's strength is in his knees! Will we bend our knees in service to God, with our own children, and within our own parish church for one hour a week? If we organize this Holy activity, then it will be very effective. If it is left unorganized, then it will be much less effective! DO NOT LET THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU ARE DOING BECOME THE ENEMY OF THE BEST! START THE ROSARY CRUSADE WITHIN YOUR OWN PARISH, AND DO NOT DELAY! | | ADULTERATED MODERN SCRIPTURES (From the 1500's until today) LEAD MANKIND ASTRAY!

Some basic rules of Scripture Study. - Do not take any verse out of context. When you take words out of context you get a pretext.
- Do not use modern translations, because they are full of purposeful human mistranslations.
Use the Latin Vulgate because it is the original Bible. There was no collection of writings known as The Holy Bible until the Latin Vulgate came into existence around the year 400 AD. - If you study any topic in Sacred Scripture, you must consider every chapter and every verse that has something to say about that topic, or else you will get an incomplete scriptural view about that topic.
- Always consider THE 4-FOLD SENSE of the Sacred Scriptures.
- Literal Sense - what obvious lesson was the author trying to convey?
- The Three Spiritual Senses:
- The Allegorical Sense - signs representing the significance of Jesus Christ
- The Moral Sense - the sense of instruction on how to live a moral life.
- The Anagogical Sense - the sense which helps us move to our ultimate end: including the topics of death, judgement, heaven and hell, and also the end of time.
(Please refer to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Article 3, from Paragraph 101 to 141)
- Always look for the Prefigurement (TYPOLOGY) in the Old Testament, and the Fulfillment in the New Testament.
- Realize that the Sacred Scriptures were purposely written in a CIRCULAR FLASHBACK STYLE. God inspired the human authors to regularly recall events and quote passages from the Old Teatament, so that the reader would benefit from the Old Testament PREFIGUREMENT and context.
- PRAY FOR INSPIRATION AND GUIDANCE before you begin to study the Sacred Scriptures!
Pray For Our Leaders! A WORLD AT PRAYER IS A WORLD AT PEACE.
Here is an example of the "VERBAL ENGINEERING" found in modern Bibles and Lectionaries: October 29, 2006 The Gospel Passage: St. Mark 10: 46 - 52 was altered in a very serious way! In verse 52, the true words of Jesus say this: "Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole." In the falsified version read at Mass today, the words of Jesus were altered to say: "Go your way, your faith has saved you." So, do you want to hear these adulterated false scripture readings or truthful Sacred Scriptures? Do you want to be part of a false church worshiping a false Christ? Or, do you want to worship Jesus in the fullness of the truth? Please, use the truthful and authentic translation of the Sacred Scriptures, the English Translation of the Latin Vulgate! These unholy alterations of the Sacred Scriptures (AS SEEN IN TODAY'S GOSPEL AT MASS) are the reason that God gives us the punishments and the penalties that await those who alter the Sacred Texts of the Sacred Scriptures. Please read The Apocalypse 22: 18 & 19! These penalties apply to the whole Bible. Also read Deut 4: 2, and 12: 32, and Proverbs 30: 5 & 6. ONLY PRAYER AND FASTING CAN SAVE US FROM THESE DEMONICALLY INFESTED AND SERIOUSLY MISGUIDED MEN!!!
THEY ARE TOO CONCERNED WITH THE COLLECTION BASKET, AND NOT CONCERNED WITH THE SALVATION OF SOULS!
Enough intercessory prayer and fasting can rescue us from these liberal and false translations of the Sacred Scriptures. http://www.prayforourleaders.com/ can help you to get the holy prayer crusade ( A HOLY ROSARY CRUSADE) underway in your parish!
*******
NOW FOR THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF "SOLA FIDEI", (Faith Alone) Sola Fidei (Faith Alone) is a false doctrine invented by misguided men and found nowhere in the Sacred Scriptures. "For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?" (Romans 8: 24) "But God, (who is rich in mercy,) for his exceeding charity wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved,)" (Ephesians 2: 4-5) "For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; Not of works, that no man may glory. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2: 8-10) So, the Sacred Scriptures indicate that we are saved by HOPE, we are saved by GRACE, we are saved by GRACE THROUGH FAITH! TRUE CHRISTIANS must walk in Good Works, performed with FAITH, performed with HOPE, performed with CHARITY, THROUGH GOD'S GRACE, for the honor and glory of God!
THIS TRINITARIAN APPROACH: FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, (The Three Theological Virtues) TROUGH GOD'S GRACE, PRODUCES WORKS OF MERIT FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY OF GOD!
This is the key to eternal salvation! IT'S ALL GRACE!!! Whatever good deeds we perform, we do them through God's grace!!! If you have True Faith, then you will cooperate WITH GOD'S GRACE and perform good works! The Epistle of The Apostle, St. James 2: 17 - 26: "So faith also, it it have not works, is dead in itself. But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith. Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. (Also see: Gen 15: 6, Romans 4: 3 and Galatians 3: 6) Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only? And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way? For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead." (St. James 2: 17-26)
THE SACRED SCRIPTURES CANNOT BE DENIED! "FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD"!!!
WHEN WE WORK, WE WORK. WHEN WE PRAY, GOD WORKS! |
