Stand Up for Jesus is a movement that was started in reaction to the US Supreme Court ruling which essentially eliminated student led prayer at football games. Read our original email sent July 4th, 2000. We are asking for everyone to remain standing following our National Anthem for praying our Lord's Prayer or for one minute of silent prayer.
We are already seeing news reports that thousands of people across our nation are standing up for Jesus. We pray that this movement sweeps across our nation. They can't arrest us all. If you would like to participate in this movement, we can email a brochure to you for printing to hand out at your next event where the National Anthem will be used.
Jesus paid the ultimate price for our salvation. Will you Stand Up for Jesus with us? Contact us at: standup@wpfj.org. Remember the words from the hymn, "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus".
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. -- Daniel 6:10
Pray without ceasing. --1 Thessalonians 5:17
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. -- 2 Chronicles 7:14
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. -- Ephesians 6:10 - 18
Apparently we are not the only ones being led by the Holy Spirit to pray following the National Anthem. We are also hearing from similar organizations around our nation. Check out these links:
