"I
PLEDGE
ALLEGIANCE
TO
THE
LAMB"

for the JULY 2005 Halo E-Newsletter]
On
Saturday, March 12, 2005, I briefly viewed, from the television
screen, the church program of the Coral Ridge Ministry. During
the March 12th Coral Ridge telecast, the choir and congregation sang
the song entitled "I
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB".
Do
you realize that you and I are on this earth because God, in His
Divine Plan, created us and the world with its many trees, flowers,
meadows, hills, mountains, lakes, and wild life. [Genesis
Chapter One] God
[the Holy Trinity] honors and accepts the praises of His people.
Psalm
117 so beautifully states:
"O
PRAISE the LORD, all ye nations; praise him, all ye people
"For
his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD
endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD."
Also,
the Holy Scripture tells us to pray for those that are in authority (I
Timothy 2:1,2).
The
month of July reminds us of the Independence Day that is celebrated
on July 4th. The July 4th commemorates the existence of an
important American document that was signed on July 4, 1776.
The signing of the American document at that time period made the
colonies to be free and independent States.
When
I became a naturalized citizen, I pledged my allegiance to
America. I am grateful to be living in the U.S.A. Many
American service men and women are serving for the sake of
freedom. May God continue to grant the furtherance of peace
within America and the nations of the World! (A few decades
ago, my husband and two brothers served in the American Army).
May
we never take freedom for granted. You and I are living in a
free society. The believer in Christ will also remember the
freedom that we have in Him because we are set free from the
bondages of the enemy, and our eternal life is geared toward the
eternal home that is called "Heaven". [II
Corinthians 5:1]
Until
Next Time - Regards, Johanna

For
many years now, my zeal for the religious writing ministry has
brought about the HALO
MINISTRIES.
The HALO
MINISTRIES
is presently an internet ministry. Without being flamboyant ,
I am grateful to be working for this worthwhile internet
ministry. May I state that "the
Halo Ministries is a worldwide ministry, and the pulpit is located
via http://www.haloministries.net."

It
is easy to see the faults of others - whether it be an individual,
groups, or the nations of the world. However, we need to call
what is "right" and we need to call what is
"wrong." However, oftentimes it is best to pray for
negative circumstances that only God can resolve in His Divine Time!
There
is a web page that so aptly describes the society that we live
in. The web page may be accessed via http://www.angelrays.com/Cards/moon/1/believe.html.
At the end of the previously mentioned web page, the slogan "ONE
NATION UNDER
GOD"
gives reverence to the great God that the true believer serves.

When
reading profound articles, as noted above, I rejoice that America
does have the freedom to worship God and that He gives peace to one’s
heart and soul.
The
internet is a wonderful tool; however, when selecting websites
and/or articles that are readily made available,
