The prayer as delivered on January 23, 1996 by Pastor Joe Wright
The prayer as delivered on January 23, 1996 by Pastor Joe Wright to the Kansas House of Representatives:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your
direction and guidance. Lord, we know Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good,"
but that's exactly what we've done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our
values.
We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it moral
pluralism.
We have worshipped other gods and called it multi-culturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building esteem.
We have abused power and called it political savvy.
We have coveted our neighbors' possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of
expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our fore-fathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us oh God and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way
in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of
Kansas, and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state. Grant them Your
wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your will. I ask it in the
name of Your Son, the Living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on “The Rest of the Story” on the radio and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
The prayer of Pastor Joe Wright is the horrifying truth about America. The United States has deteriorated into a large Sodom and Gomorrah! America is a land of Evils! Why should God bless America? Today women wear their dresses up, and men their pants down.
2nd Peter 2:14, “Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children.” Is there a better Scripture to more accurately describe the American public today? I think not. We are a cursed people in America. We have mocked God for too long; disobeying the Bible; living in wickedness; teaching our children the lies of Evolution; kicking God's Word and prayer out of our public schools since the 1960's; murdering over 50,000,000 human beings by abortion; brutally killing Terri Schiavo in March of 2005; portraying Jesus Christ as a homosexual voyeur on Late Night TV; Americans flocking by droves to SIN CITY Las Vegas to disobey the God of the Bible Who created us; we are a wicked people, who have been given wicked leaders by God to afflict us.
Judgment Day is upon us as a nation! This is why tens-of-millions of jobs have been relocated to foreign soil. This is why 40,000,000 Americans are now receiving government welfare food stamps. This is why several million Americans have permanently lost their homes to foreclosure and bankruptcy. This is why the God-ordained authority of husbands and fathers have been attacked in the marriage and home. Consequently, America's families are in disarray. Divorce is 75.54% just in the State of California. Divorce is a sin that perpetuates for a lifetime. The results are devastating. Americans have forsaken the God of the Bible. We have not remembered the Lord. Deuteronomy 6:12, “Then beware lest thou forget the LORD...”
This is why a Police State is upon us—internet and cellphone spying; blood being illegally collected for DNA databases; naked body scanners going into all U.S. airports; paramilitary local police kicking in citizen's doors, shooting pets, planting false evidence, physically abusing and killing citizens, tasering children and elderly people; what a mess! We get what we deserve as Americans!
"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." —Matthew 13:15
