This Day In History 08 January- 1877 Crazy Horse fights last battle

 

   On this day in 1877, Crazy Horse and his warriors–outnumbered, low on ammunition and forced to use outdated weapons to defend themselves–fight their final losing battle against the U.S. Cavalry in Montana.

  Six months earlier, in the Battle of Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse and his ally, Chief Sitting Bull, led their combined forces of Sioux and Cheyenne to a stunning victory over Lieutenant Colonel George Custer (1839-76) and his men. The Indians were resisting the U.S. government’s efforts to force them back to their reservations. After Custer and over 200 of his soldiers were killed in the conflict, later dubbed “Custer’s Last Stand,” the American public wanted revenge. As a result, the U.S. Army launched a winter campaign in 1876-77, led by General Nelson Miles (1839-1925), against the remaining hostile Indians on the Northern Plains.

Billy Graham's Daily Devotional 08 January 2018; Topic- He Hears Us

   —Mark 11:24

  What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe . . .  
   We are to pray in times of adversity, lest we become faithless and unbelieving. We are to pray in times of prosperity, lest we become boastful and proud. We are to pray in times of danger, lest we become fearful and doubting. We need to pray in times of security, lest we become self-sufficient. Sinners, pray to a merciful God for forgiveness. Christians, pray for an outpouring of God’s Spirit upon a willful, evil, unrepentant world. Parents, pray that God may crown your home with grace and mercy. Children, pray for the salvation of your parents. Christians, saints of God, pray that the dew of heaven may fall on earth’s dry, thirsty ground, and that righteousness may cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

  What is prayer, and how should you pray?

John Hagee's Daily Devotional 08 January 2018; Genesis 27:29

 

  Genesis 27:29 - Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be those who bless you!

   God said to Abraham, "I will bless those who bless you" (Genesis 12:3). That's God's position concerning the Jewish people then and now (Psalm 122:6). Why does praying for the city of Jerusalem bring prosperity? Because God promised the city of Jerusalem to King David and that His Seed, Jesus Christ, will sit on the Temple Mount and rule an eternal kingdom on earth.
