I Benjamin Rush, a true follower of Jesus Christ, a devout Christian soldier who believes in One God in three persons, The Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, was also among the signers of the Declaration of Independence which was given to us by the Wisdom of God Himself to be freed from our former state of tyrannical rule, the country island of England. I am a Doctor a philosopher and member of the group of men who fought with our very lives (and some cases sacrificing our families, homes, land and any possessions we may have had) what the English Government called us as Treasonous, Dissenters and Radical. If this be so, then I am radical for the right reasons and right reasons are always justified by Our God, Lord and Savior; Jesus Christ. We thank thee O Lord Jesus Christ for giving us this freedom to worship you freely without fear of a tyrant King and his blasphemous actions against Your children. We thank YOU O Lord Jesus Christ for giving us the victory over our enemies of earth and the enemies of the underworld that is invisible to finite humans. We Thank You O Lord God Almighty in the precious name of Your Son, the ONLY just man who died on the cross, bore our pain, took on Your wrath, paid our sins wage by shedding His Blood for our sinfulness, raising Himself up on the 3rd Day from the dead to sit on Your right hand for ever, for the only reason that we could be justified in your sight and not have You cast us away as will be done to the tares in Final Day of this present and wonderfully created planet Earth you gave us to dwell in, who is, Jesus Christ, the ONLY way into Your Kingdom.
This is my short Bio. Benjamin Rush (Born in the USA in 1745 and lived a hearty, fulfilled life until the year of our Lord in 1813) was a physician, educator, philanthropist, and statesman. He graduated from Princeton (1760) and then studied medicine in Philadelphia Edinburgh London Paris Dickinson College Pennsylvania American Public School
Benjamin Rush is called the “Father of American Medicine” for his numerous medical discoveries.
Christians are the backbone of America America
Father in Heaven, Creator of all things, we beseech thee this day O LORD that your will be done in this earth today. We ask thee Father of every good thing that you give Godly wisdom to those in authority over our nation so that we might remain a Beacon of Light in this darkening planet. Wake those up and shine your light into the hearts and minds who might still be in darkness and show them the way to eternal life, salvation, wisdom and true freedom. We thank You Lord that you never change, that You are our stable rock and that we can call upon Your Name in times of trouble and in times of peace. We ask LORD that you keep our warriors safe. Safe from all lies, safe from the enemies fiery darts, safe from the enemies bullets, keep them in sound mind and bodily whole and that when their work is finished you bless them with honor they deserve. We pray more Oh Lord that you keep the troops in Your wisdom and let them know truth from You as only You can give. Give them peace and rest and bring them home safely. Lord, the men whose lives are lost for battle, please carry them into Your heavenly presence by the delicate & strong grip of Your Holy Angels and give them eternal rest & salvation. Give our American warriors courage to fight the good fight and let them know who the true enemy is so that their aim be in correct direction and effort. Give their families peace of mind and bring revival and strength back to our nation that we remain ONE Nation Under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for ALL.
We pray LORD GOD for laborers as you have asked us to pray for the great harvest. We ask the same safety & wisdom (which You said You give liberally and freely to those who ask) for these men and women as for our nation's military troops. Let all of Your Soldiers be true to You Lord. Let all of Your warriors be honorable, strong and faithful, filled with the faith of Jesus Christ our Savior. We thank You LORD for hearing our petition and for answering our prayers. We all ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, A-men.
