Good “Sunday” morning and ‘duty’ is calling already…

Do you still have that sense of duty or obligation present in you today that you had when you were serving your country or if you’re currently serving it now. Forget the politics and the blunders of leadership and grasped that feeling of the call to duty. There is much yet to be done for our current veterans and those leaving active duty from any of the military services. Duty shouldn’t end with a set of discharge papers. Just my opinion on this fine day. That leads me to this quote…

‘We all have the duty to do good.’ — Pope Francis

I’m here every day, so reach out if you want to help me do my duty with Warriors for Life (WFL) and Victory for Veterans, Inc. May you continue to be present for all of us; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Come join Volunteer & Veteran SGT Steve McFarland TONIGHT for "Healing Through Faith" addition of Warriors for Life (WFL) Online Peer Group Support. TONIGHT Steve will continue with his topic of: "Blessings In Disguise!"

I expect your character is honorable and that you have done your utmost to fulfil your duties in service to this nation, family, friends, and strangers. No doubt your foundation and character are rooted in the rock of the atonement of the Christ. I hope you support justice for all with compassion, freedom of speech and worship forthrightly, and demonstrate love as the light of the LORD shines to and through you. I hope and pray that you and I are gracious with praise by words and actions. ‘Continue in brotherly love. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.’ [Hebrews 13:1-2 ESV] my brother-in-Christ COL Mikel J. Burroughs.

I pray for sufficient fruit of the Spirit peace, faithfulness, and self-control for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer or listens to it dear LORD. I expect you give honor to whom honor is due and that you honor the accomplishments of those you lead as well as those who serve you. I hope and pray that you and I are generous with our talents, energy, and resources. ‘Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed’ [Romans 13:7 ESV]
I pray that each of us lean on YOUR Word and YOU as we walk through life as we face challenges. YOU prepare each of us for the challenges we will face as YOU sanctify the soul of each of us. By YOUR grace YOU remind us of YOUR Word and YOU enable us to demonstrate faith in YOU, to YOUR glory. ‘'Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.' [1 Peter 3:15 ESV]
By YOUR grace YOU fight the battles on our behalf in the heavens. YOU have provided each of us with defensive armor and the Sword of the Spirit which is YOUR Word. YOU store YOUR Word in the soul of each of us and draw it forth through us whenever we need it and well as when others need to see YOUR Word demonstrated by love. ‘For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.’ [Hebrews 4:12 ESV]
I lift the situation in Kabul, Afghanistan to YOU LORD and the family members and friends of those killed on August 26 and the wounded. I pray that YOU heal the wounded physically and allow them to grieve to fulfillment. I pray that those citizens of the USA, UK, and others in Kabul whose lives are at risk as well as those Afghani’s who risked their lives to provide support to the allies will be able to leave Afghanistan. I pray that no more will die or be killed outside of personal relationship with YOU. I pray that YOU bless those who are working to extricate these individuals and families with wisdom, skill, discernment and success as they do all that is necessary to recuse those in peril. ‘keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.’ [Jude 1:21-23 ESV]
I pray dear LORD, that only those who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters will be killed in the war on terror and peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. I pray that YOU guide each of us to assist widows, widowers of service members who have been killed in the line of duty. I pray that YOU guide each prayer warrior to intercede for the grieving and for peace. 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.' [Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV]
At the end of our life on earth, by God’s grace HE will tell each of us, who are HIS ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son [daughter].’ [Revelation 21:6-7 ESV]
The homicide bombers have already met the JUDGE of all creation ‘But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.’ [Revelation 21:8 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonition of the LORD on foundation, demonstrating Biblical love fulfills the law of God:
1. 'Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery. You shall not murder. You shall not steal. You shall not covet.” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law' [Romans 13:8-10 ESV]
2. 'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.' [Matthew 22:36-40 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Sunday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Sunday morning Col Burroughs and Posse. I am praying hard today for those in Afghanistan, those in the path of the hurricane, my brothers and sisters both in and out of uniform and anyone and everyone else who needs lifting.
We all should know what we signed up for. Those of us who served more than one enlistment certainly do. And those who are currently serving in places where they may be under fire are working hard to do what they have been asked to do. Those of us who are no longer in uniform must then ask on their behalf that the leadership not abuse them or their trust in the "call of duty" but take reasonable care with their lives and well being. A thank you to all my brothers and sisters who are putting their hearts into doing their duty wherever they are.
