On June 16, 1716, Alexander Spotswood, Governor of the Colony of Virginia, and a gallant soldier who had served under Marlborough in the English wars, rode, at the head of a dauntless band of cavaliers, down the quiet street of quaint old Williamsburg.The adventurous spirits of this party of men urged them toward the land of the setting sun, that unknown west far beyond the blue crested mountains rising so grandly before them.Months afterward they stood on the western range of the Great North mountains towering above the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, and from the summit of one of the loftiest peaks, where, until then, the foot of a white man had never trod, they viewed the vast expanse of plain and forest with glistening eyes. Returning to Williamsburg they told of the wonderful richness of the newly discovered country and thus opened the way for the venturesome pioneer who was destined to overcome all difficulties and make a home in the western world.But fifty years and more passed before a white man penetrated far beyond the purple spires of those majestic mountains.One bright morning in June, 1769, the figure of a stalwart, broad shouldered man could have been seen standing on the wild and rugged promontory which rears its rocky bluff high above the Ohio river, at a point near the mouth of Wheeling Creek. He was alone save for the companionship of a deerhound that crouched at his feet. As he leaned on a long rifle, contemplating the glorious scene that stretched before him, a smile flashed across his bronzed cheek, and his heart bounded as he forecast the future of that spot. In the river below him lay an island so round and green that it resembled a huge lily pad floating placidly on the water. The fresh green foliage of the trees sparkled with glittering dewdrops. Back of him rose the high ridges, and, in front, as far as eye could reach, extended an unbroken forest.

Do you struggle to find forgiveness for the things you have done wrong in your life? Does deliverance seem impossibly far from you in so many areas of your day to day existence? Here’s hope--- there is a powerful prayer just for you!King Manasseh of the tiny Kingdom of Judah was the son of the great champion of our faith, King Hezekiah (all of whose prayers in his amazing life and reign were answered by God). Yet Manasseh was a wicked and evil man, whose sins offend our modern day sensibilities greatly. As one powerful example, he burned his own children in the fires of false gods in horrific live human sacrifices. Yet when God punished the wicked King Manasseh and took him off into captivity in chains to the dungeons of the Assyrian kings (in Babylon), he had a complete change of heart after having time to spend alone in torment in the dark. He remembered the “God of his fathers” and especially the God of his mighty warrior of the faith King Hezekiah. In the lonely dark, Manasseh found God. He prayed a prayer of repentance, forgiveness, and deliverance the likes of which the world has never again seen. This prayer so impressed God that He released King Manasseh from the powerful Assyrians who cleaned him up, let him go, and sent him back to Judah so that he could be king again. Then Manasseh, he knew that the Lord He is God! The incredible true story and repentance prayer of King Manasseh --- it changed his life, it changed the fate of the kingdom of Judah, it changed the lives of hundreds of millions of Christians and Jews across the globe and throughout millennia. The prayer is still personally impacting people around the world in our own times. It will change your life today!
