What happens when we take prayer out of schools

I remember the first grade, the Pledge of legions and each day we said the Lord's prayer.
There were no metal detectors at my school. As I'm sure that is true for many of you.

2 Chronicles 7:14  if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

We are becoming a Godless nation and let us not forget what has happen to nations that forget or do not allow God to received in their land.

Isaiah 10:6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,   And against the people of My wrath
                   I will give him charge,  To seize the spoil, to take the prey,  And to tread them down like the
                   mire  of the streets.

Am I saying that America has become  a Godless nation,  no but it is certainly in danger of it. Even our President said that we are not a Christian nation.


At a press conference in Turkey, President Obama casually rebuked the old chestnut that the United States is a Judeo-Christian nation.
"One of the great strengths of the United States," the President said, "is ... we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

How much longer will God protect and bless this nation if we not only don’t act like a Christian nation, but also openly proclaim we are not a Christian nation? Could this be why America is not mentioned in prophecy as a factor in world events during the end times?   
Not a Christian nation? Here’s a sampling of quotes from just a few of the nation’s early leaders:
First Supreme Court Justice John Jay (served from 1789 to 1795)
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the priveledge and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (served from 1812 to 1845)
“I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law. There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying its foundations.”

Here's an email that my lovely wife received from the school district making us aware of a growing trend in the schools here in America.


Parents and Guardians,
We want to make you aware that the Choking Game may be resurfacing among youth in our area. We are concerned because it is an extremely dangerous activity that older children and adolescents (typically ages 9-14) sometimes play to get a brief high. They either choke each other or use a noose to choke themselves. After just a short time, they can pass out, which may lead to serious injury or even death from hanging or strangulation. Self-choking often occurs among well-adjusted, high achieving students simply looking for a drug-free rush or thrill. The object is to temporarily starve the brain of oxygen, thereby inducing an artificial high. Several deaths have been attributed to this game.
Warning signs of the choking game:
- Discussion of the game, including other names for it, such as "pass-out game" or "space monkey"
- Bloodshot eyes
- Marks on the neck
- Severe headaches
- Disorientation after spending time alone
- Ropes, scarves, and belts tied to bedroom furniture or doorknobs or found knotted on the floor
- The unexplained presence of dog leashes, choke collars, and bungee cords.
If you believe that your child is playing the choking game, they should speak to them about the life-threatening dangers associated with the game and seek additional help if necessary.

Wow things I never faced nor considered as child, when kids are now being faced with vile things than we never had to face or deal with at a young age..
Children as young as seven will be taught the facts of life in compulsory sex education lessons.

Pupils aged five will prepare for the classes by learning about body parts and sex differences. More explicit material will be covered if it is raised by the youngsters.  "'Barack Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergarteners,'"

Lord God let us draw near to you,for this nation was formed by those who loved you. Men like George Washington and many others. Let us not forget that everything we have or hope to have is because of you.
Let us remain in prayer for our nation. Yes the national day of prayer was good. But not enough we need to be in prayer daily. Till this nations returns back to its first love which is Christ.  Each day take a 5 minutes and pray for this nation. I beg you to do this and encourage others Christians to cry out to the Lord God for our nations is sick and is in need of hims healing hand
