Strategic Focus for Wednesday 

WELCOMING THE KING OF GLORY into the UNITED STATES

RESTORING the CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS of the UNITED STATES 

The STATE OF THE UNION – Part 2

“To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men. O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart. Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,

And from the opening of my lips will come right things; For my mouth will speak truth;

Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;

Nothing crooked or perverse is in them. They are all plain to him who understands,

And right to those who find knowledge.” 

Proverbs 8:4-9

Yesterday’s STATE OF THE UNION address by President Trump is now a part of American history. As we read through and review his message, then pray into each section, we will ask the Lord to bless what He chooses, causing those things to be fully effective for the good of our nation and her people! 

Excerpts from President Trump’s 2018 SOTU address

“Over the last year, we have made incredible progress and achieved extraordinary success. We have faced challenges we expected, and others we could never have imagined. We have shared in the heights of victory and the pains of hardship. We endured floods and fires and storms. But through it all, we have seen the beauty of America’s soul, and the steel in America’s spine. Each test has forged new American heroes to remind us who we are, and show us what we can be. And together, we are building a safe, strong, and proud America.”
 

Let’s give thanks to the Lord for these achievements by the Administration: (read all then pray) 

• “Since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs, including 200,000 new jobs in manufacturing alone. After years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages. Unemployment claims have hit a 45-year low. African-American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded, and Hispanic-American unemployment has also reached the lowest levels in history.
• Small business confidence is at an all-time high. The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion in value. That is great news for Americans’ 401k, retirement, pension, and college savings accounts.
• We enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history. Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for the middle class and small businesses. To lower tax rates for hardworking Americans, we nearly doubled the standard deduction for everyone. Now, the first $24,000 earned by a married couple is completely tax-free. We also doubled the child tax credit. A typical family of four making $75,000 will see their tax bill reduced by $2,000 — slashing their tax bill in half. This April millions of Americans will have more take-home pay starting next month.
• We eliminated an especially cruel tax that fell mostly on Americans making less than $50,000 a year — forcing them to pay tremendous penalties simply because they could not afford government-ordered health plans. We repealed the core of disastrous Obamacare — the individual mandate is now gone.
• We slashed the business tax rate from 35 percent all the way down to 21 percent, so American companies can compete and win against anyone in the world. These changes alone are estimated to increase average family income by more than $4,000.
• Small businesses have also received a massive tax cut, and can now deduct 20 percent of their business income.
• Since we passed tax cuts, roughly 3 million workers have already gotten tax cut bonuses — many of them thousands of dollars per worker.” 

*****

Let’s read this next part and pray for the future of our nation and those who have protected it with their lives and limbs, our veterans: 

“Tonight, I want to talk about what kind of future we are going to have, and what kind of Nation we are going to be. All of us, together, as one team, one people, and one American family. We all share the same home, the same heart, the same destiny, and the same great American flag. Together, we are rediscovering the American way. In America, we know that faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, are the center of the American life. Our motto is “In God we trust.” Americans love their country. And they deserve a Government that shows them the same love and loyalty in return. For the last year we have sought to restore the bonds of trust between our citizens and their Government.
 

We are serving our brave veterans, including giving our veterans choice in their healthcare decisions. Last year, the Congress passed, and I signed, the landmark VA Accountability Act. Since its passage, my Administration has already removed more than 1,500 VA employees who failed to give our veterans the care they deserve — and we are hiring talented people who love our vets as much as we do. I will not stop until our veterans are properly taken care of, which has been my promise to them from the very beginning of this great journey.”

*****

Pray that our leaders will be empowered to take necessary actions: (read through all, then pray) 

All Americans deserve accountability and respect — and that is what we are giving them. 

• “So tonight, I call on Congress to empower every Cabinet Secretary with the authority to reward good workers – and to remove Federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people.
• In our drive to make Washington accountable, we have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any administration in history.
• We have ended the war on American Energy — and we have ended the war on clean coal. We are now an exporter of energy to the world.
• In Detroit, I halted Government mandates that crippled America’s auto workers – so we can get the Motor City revving its engines once again. Soon, plants will be opening up all over the country. This is all news Americans are unaccustomed to hearing — for many years, companies and jobs were only leaving us. But now they are coming back. Exciting progress is happening every day.
• To speed access to breakthrough cures and affordable generic drugs, last year the FDA approved more new and generic drugs and medical devices than ever before in our history. We also believe that patients with terminal conditions should have access to experimental treatments that could potentially save their lives. People who are terminally ill should not have to go from country to country to seek a cure — I want to give them a chance right here at home. It is time for Congress to give these wonderful Americans the “right to try.” One of my greatest priorities is to reduce the price of prescription drugs. In many other countries, these drugs cost far less than what we pay in the United States. That is why I have directed my Administration to make fixing the injustice of high drug prices one of our top priorities. Prices will come down.

This is our new American moment. 

There has never been a better time to start living the American Dream. “
