Symphony of Destiny

Bound4LIFE VT (@bound4lifevt)
Da-Da-Da-DUM- the opening bars of Beethoven's 5th symphony. "dit-dit-dit-dah" was used for the letter "V" in Morse Code! Farewell Sen. Leahy
Just republishing this article from whatever year it originally printed... I and reminded of God's faithfulness and willingness to bring to pass what he desires... and our responsibility to be faithful in what is called us to speak and pray! 

(original article)
... Was rushing off to church this past Sunday & printing a Burl. Free Press article about VT Senator Leahy's key role in the Supreme Court confirmation process that I would share as a point of pre Church prayer.

In the article Sen. Leahy recalled a phone call from the President telling his wife to "drive carefully-because I need 


I had been contemplating all week about the VT intercessor's responsibility/obligation & mandate of delegated authority
in the Spirit over our senator's involvement!
The Holy Spirit had been revealing that as the priests of our region & those sent to represent us in D.C. ... we should make a differ
ence...even change the outcome of this Supreme Court nomination (praying the will of the Lord)!

My wife googled Beethoven's Fifth to see what we could learn. I was unaware ...but not surprised that it is " The Symphony of Dest
iny"!

As intercessors we need to know about destiny & "our territorial responsibility & calling" which joins us IN SYMPHONY to other members of Christ's body. Every joint supplies & now is the time for VT to learn how to "exercise" & "supply our part" in these Senate Judiciary Confirmation hearings.

Today, Judge Sonia Sotomayor was nominated by Pres. Obama to replace Justice Souter on the United States Supreme Court.
Senator Leahy has certainly
withheld the hearing confirmations of many qualified court candidates from confirmation in the courts because they were not to his liking.

Let us pray that he is not used to hinder appropriate
questioning & debate that is needful to this potential judiciary activist judge!

“A vote to confirm Judge Sotomayor as the next Supreme Court Justice is a vote to strip Americans of the ability to choose for themselves how to regulate abortion. Our recent polling data speaks to this point of judicial activism: 69% of the American people believe that “some federal judges have gone too far by doing more than just interpreting the law and instead are making new law.”

Our prayers must be directed by the Holy
Spirit & even "not our will ...but Yours be done" are appropriate...if you are not directed differently by the Holy Spirit.

If any are interested in going to D.C.to pray at the U.S.Supreme Court please contact me & we can send a delegation from VT!


Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The Destiny Symphony

Beethoven's 5th Symphony in C minor, op. 67 is rightly considered a natural continuation of Symphony No. 3, &quotEroica", because it approaches the same themes and it expresses the relationship between particular and general. The name under which it sometimes circulated, , is linked to the words of Anton Felix Schindler, his biographer, who, invoking an explanation given by the composer referring to the first bars in Part I of the fifth symphony,stated:

" So pocht das Schicksal an die Pforte! "

(That's how destiny knocks on your door).

Significantly relevant is the chronicle written for this symphony at the January 1st 1841 concert: " Beethoven's symphony in C minor had closed the programme. Let us be silent! How often we hear it in public, but also in our deepest self, and how it projects its force upon all people of all ages, just like the great natural phenomena, which leave us in awe every time they appear. This symphony alike, will still resound centuries to come, for as long as there will be man and music. "

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions...be made...for kings and all who are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peacable life in all godliness & reverence. 1Tim. 2:1-2
