RussiaGate, Robert Mueller: A prayer for truth and relevance

***RussiaGate: A prayer for truth and relevance

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Your Word:

Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight.

Luke 8:17
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Thanksgiving.
Heavenly Father, You are the God of Truth and You know all Truth. Thank You that there is no deception in You. Thank You that You hate lies, yet You love each one of us. You are the One True and Living God. You who cannot lie, You who sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Living Truth to us...please do not tire of our antics as we fumble around on our own. Thank You that you hate lying lips, but You desire that all men be saved.

The Truth shall set You free.
Father, this nation started out in the search for freedom. Your Word tells us that Jesus Christ is the Truth, and if we know Him, we shall be free. Yet, we have turned away from freedom. Thank You that You clearly state that Jesus Christ is Truth. Thank You that You clearly show us the path to Truth and to Freedom. Thank You that You do not hide what we need from us.

Confession.
I confess that this nation has turned from Your Word...and Your Word is Truth. Without You, we cannot even identify Truth when it is before us! We have pushed ourselves into a dark corner. We need Your wisdom and discernment. Nothing is covered before You.

We believe what we want to believe. We make up our stories based on information, but not on truth. We rehearse our stories, call them truth and worship them. Have mercy on us.

Supplication: Intervention:
Father, I petition You regarding the Russia Investigation. I ask Your intervention.

As the American people, we have no idea what to believe. It's so hard to know who to believe and what to pray. So I will pray for Truth. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I speak Him, Truth, into this situation.

So many people are involved. The history goes back so far. Information is entangled and agendas are complicated. Who can know? YOU! Father, YOU know. You know the hearts of everyone involved. You know the deception that lurks throughout this situation. Thank You that You hate lies.

I ask Your intervention in the hearts of these people. May Truth be spoken. Father, Your Word indicates You give "liberally" to those who ask for Your wisdom. I am asking for the wisdom from above. I am asking that You move the hearts of these people to desire Truth, to be driven to proclaim the truth in this situation.

For those who seek destruction through deception, I ask that You crush the impact of the Father of Lies, crush the verbiage that would be spoken that does not align with the truth. Intervene in this situation ...for YOUR sake. That YOU may be glorified again in this land.

Supplication: Discernment for relevance.
Father, there is so much information available. Who can decipher it all? Who can understand the inter-connectivity of all the details. You can! I take heart that You understand the details and You know how to reveal the motives and intentions of the hearts of those who are involved. Praise be to Your Name!

Pour out Your insight, wisdom, and discernment upon the Mueller Investigation. Father, there is no way these people, smart as You have made them, can bring relevance to what is being uncovered. They need You. They may not know it. They may trust in their own fallible, feeble efforts, but I ask You to bring discernment and relevance.

Supplication: Communication, action, closure—to swiftly move on.
Father, what an incredible fiasco, distraction, and use of valuable resources! Why? Many of us don't understand any of the implications of all this.

Father, would you reveal what is relevant, communicate it to the American people, and bring action that will bring closure and allow this nation to move forward? Father, do this, I ask, in such a way that You are glorified? Do this in a way that allows the Truth, Jesus Christ!, to be raised up. I ask for Your intervention.

Please help this matter to be put to rest. Have people done wrong? Have laws been broken? Are there criminals who have done so grievously that they should go to jail? You know, O God, and I am asking that this come swiftly. May truth be known, may the guilty be identified, may sentencing be quick. O Father, that would be so amazing. I will give YOU the glory. I will rejoice in You! I will proclaim Your Righteousness and mercy.

Peace through Truth.
I ask these things. I come boldly. I come with the righteousness of Christ upon me that I can come boldly before Your throne of grace. I come gladly, knowing that Your purposes will not be thwarted, Truth shall not be covered, and that through Jesus Christ, we are set free.

May this nation again...rejoice in You alone.

In Jesus’ Name.

The U.S. and Iran Deal...a prayer for godly wisdom

***The U.S. and Iran Deal...a prayer for godly wisdom.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Your Word:

Psalms 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

In direct obedience, I come praying for the peace of Jerusalem. You have commanded that I do so. Many are concerned with the Iran Deal and we bring our concerns directly to You. Your Word focuses on the nations in the middle east, extending outward. So this focus for peace centers around Jerusalem. We need Your wisdom to pray. Our leaders need Your wisdom.

May believers in the United States grow a love for Jerusalem in their hearts for You. It is Your city. It's very meaning is City of Peace, Foundation of Peace. Iran threatens Israel and Jerusalem. We need Your wisdom to pray. Our leaders need Your wisdom to make godly decisions.

We lack knowledge and understanding. Our desire is to pray in accordance with Your Word. I pray for our leaders—grant them the wisdom from above. Grant them insights into the Iranian mindset to understand the triggers that define their words and actions. Grant every person involved in these decisions a spirit of humility that he or she needs You. May they clearly admit their impotence; that regardless of their "intelligence," their wisdom is limited. They need the wisdom from above. May they be cognizant of this fact and search Your Word and pray fervently for Your guidance.

We are already at war with the enemy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Again, and again, I ask that You raise up an army of prayer warriors. May prayers rise up before Your throne of grace unceasingly from this nation on behalf of our leaders, those in authority, and for the peace of Jerusalem.

Your Word promises to give wisdom, "liberally" to those who ask for it. I am here asking for it. I ask on behalf of our leaders: President Trump, Vice President Pence, decision makers and influencers in our armed forces, lawmakers in Washington and each state in the U.S. Father, I'm asking for wisdom for this nation, that we may confess our sin and return to You. Pour out Your spirit of wisdom that we may see our sin. May teachers and preachers of Your Word have the courage to speak out with conviction that this nation confess and repent of our sin.

We lack wisdom. May our leaders and decision makers know that their wisdom, regardless of the extensive network of information, is limited. Urge our leaders to seek Your wisdom. May they acknowledge their limitations and by Your Spirit, see Your wisdom...the wisdom from an omniscient God, who gives liberally to those who ask.

Beckon our leaders to acknowledge their need. May every one of them realize and confess their sin before You, that You may delight in pouring out of Your wisdom.

We need You. May this nation again...rejoice in You alone.

Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,

In Jesus’ Name.

California Wildfires...a plea for help...the prayers of one sinner

***California Wildfires...a plea for help...the prayers of one sinner Please pray with me:
Please add your anonymous prayers at the end of this blog.

Heavenly Father,
Your Word:

1 Kings 19:11-13
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

We have received the wind, the earthquakes and now the fire. Will we now hear Your voice?

The fires in California are devastating...they are all-consuming. Yet, as You command, I shall enter into Your gates with thanksgiving, and into Your courts with praise. I will bless Your Holy Name.

You know what is happening in California and in this nation... Thank You. You are omnipresent and You personally witnessed every life that has been lost. Thank You for being there. There is nothing that I can tell You that You do not already know... I know very little. If I knew all that is going on, it would be too much for me— yet, You know.

You are the Almighty, One True and Living God. You are the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God. You know all, You are everywhere and You are all powerful. Thank You and praise be to Your Name.

You are all powerful. There is so much devastation and You can stop it; but You have not done so. You could have prevented or minimized this loss; but You have not done so. The loss of property and of life is overwhelming...You know.

Father, people are suffering loss of all that they have worked for. Many have lost their lives. The grief of those who have lost loved ones... The grief of the loss of all property...it is staggering. Many lives were not saved. Many, trying to save others, were consumed.

Lives are changed forever. You know.

Psalm 24:1
The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

I acknowledge that all that is here belongs to You, including our very lives. Yet, how shall You be praised from the grave? How will people know that You are God. If You are going to pour out these consuming fires, then please, also pour out Your Holy Spirit. Otherwise, we cannot bear it. Help Lord! Help us.

With all the devastation, from hurricanes, from Las Vegas shooting, and now these fires, will we give our attention to You? Draw us to You that we may acknowledge that YOU are God. Pull our hearts to You Father. Although we cannot make sense of what is happening across our nation, without Your help, we will still not acknowledge You. Help us turn our attention to You O God and give us ears to hear.

Leviticus 20:22
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

Is this land so disgusted with our collective consciousness and actions, that it is spewing us out? Is the land itself revolting at our choices to silence the God of Creation? Murder children? Change Your definition of marriage and family? Is our land revolting on Your behalf? Is it so nauseated and appalled that it is vomiting us out? It seems so.

Father, will we be tempted to find our own reason and thinking regarding these devastating disasters that are plaguing our land? Please help us to turn to You for reason...Our pride has consumed us. We think we can control every aspect of YOUR world. Please forgive us and help us turn from our wicked ways. Help Lord.

Consume the pride we have had as a nation, that we turn to You, acknowledge the error of our ways, and repent of having thrown YOU out of our nation. Prayer, abortion, marriage, civil disobedience. We have raised up and followed our own desires. Forgive us...may these fires call us to You that we may find life again...for You are the God of life.

Hebrews 12:28-29
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.

Yes, all that we have, including our lives, belongs to You. Yet I pray that voices may rise up to Your throne of grace and be heard. Rise up O God, and show us the pathway back to You. I pray these fires exhaust us to the point that we turn to You. O Father, may it be so. Help us. I cry out to You...Help Lord.

I pray for comfort for those who grieve. I ask for Your Holy Spirit be poured out. May His comfort may be evident, sought after, and acknowledged. May these fires destroy our prideful spirits and soften our hardened hearts.

Many are experiencing utter loss... may they find and treasure Your presence in their lives. May You become central to us in this land. May we acknowledge that all that we have is temporal. Our lives are temporal.

May this be the turning point to put our thoughts and actions on that which has lasting value...on Jesus Christ. Salvation through Him and Him alone. May there be rejoicing in this land again...rejoicing in You alone.

Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,

In Jesus’ Name.

Terror in Las Vegas...the prayers of one sinner

***Prayers following the terror of the Las Vegas shooting ...a call to unity

Verse
Psalms 73:19
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

Psalms 91:5
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

I give You thanks for You are the God of Life and not of death. I give You thanks that I can come to You in my sorrow for the condition of the United States. I come.

I praise You, the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God. You know the condition of this nation, You know our hearts, our fears, our needs. You know our spiritual condition and You know the decrepit condition of our thinking and our hearts. You know the sickness of our spirits. Thank You ...for You are the answer and You are willing to give liberally. I come asking for Your answers.

Our nation suffers another hit. This terror is different for it is clearly the work of one human against another. It was premeditated. It was carefully planned and executed. It's purpose was death of innocent people. Father, one moment all was well, and in another moment, terror reigned without ceasing. Help Lord. You know the details.

First I ask for Your definitive presence with those who are suffering. Many came to the fore as the event unfolded. Many were taken to medical facilities for needed attention. And many have returned home and sit with the reality of their experience. Invigorate Your church to keep reaching out—especially to those whose wounds are mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Help these victims to rise up, seek You and find Your grace, mercy, and peace.

Many are asking for answers. We turn to our police and our government for answers. We demand they respond. We demand they tell us the details and we demand they bring us answers that we want to hear. We demand that they "do something." Forgive us for every time we have not turned to You. You have the answers.

For those that seek, may they turn to You. May they find relevant churches that know Your Word. Father, may Your Word proliferate through the minds and hearts of these people who are seeking answers. Rise up Your army of believers, establish their credibility through an out-flowing of Your peace and hope within them. Establish their demeanor with true empathy for those in pain and seeking some kind of answer. May they find the path to Your Word.

Raise up Your Word in this situation and in this nation. May it be spoken out loud that it may be heard. Please call those who would hear Your Word to find it, hear it, listen intently and internally, and diligently seek You for the only answers that will bring surety.

Father, I pray for churches to wake up and heed the call. Is not the harvest ready? Are the laborers few? Please raise them up. Raise up testimonies that call to the heart of the hurting. Raise up credibility of Jesus Christ—Lord and Savior. Soften the hearts of the hurting who would blame You for not preventing this situation. May they find their own free-will and realize that the shooter had free-will too. Holy Spirit, convict thousands across our nation to utilize Your gift of their free-will and make a decision to receive and follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Hallelujah!

May this time of grieving be turned to dancing. Up-gird our nation to seek You intently. Raise up warriors to enlist and join the spiritual battle. Teach us to come before Your presence and delight You with the intentions of our hearts. Holy Spirit, descend on us and establish us before the Throne of Grace. Sculpt us to be the prayer warriors that know this not a battle of flesh and blood. Holy Spirit, please lead our prayers.

Father, many people are demanding the government move on gun control. Yet we know, that if guns are banned, other means will surface. Father, it avoids the problem...the problem of our spiritual condition. Raise up churches and pastors, raiser up YOUR message that we will answer to You and that the proliferation of sin is what is beleaguering our nation. Father, may Your church rise to the surface and attend to Your business that You desire that every person come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

...and the media. Father they promote terror and their agendas. They even use this event to put down and criticize our president. Place Your hand of protection on him and his family. Silence the media that uses anything available to promote their agenda. Expose the lies and raise up truth. You are Truth. Jesus Christ is Truth. Let us proclaim truth. We desperately need discernment and wisdom, and words of Your leading. We cannot do this on our own. Help Lord. I cry out to You. May many cry out.

Hear my heart before Your throne of grace and mercy,

In Jesus’ Name.
