Praying against the theft of the United States ...healthcare, guncontrol and debt

***Praying against the theft of the United States

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

ADORATION:
Great is Your Name over all the earth and greatly to be praised. You alone rule the earth, and yet You have, gracious God, given us the freedom of choice. You have given us freewill and You do not interfere with our choices.

Let all the earth praise the holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ who has set us free from the bondage of sin and death. Hallelujah! Hallelujah to His Name. Glory be unto God Almighty, for there is no other God who can stand.

Father, Your Word:

1 Samuel 12:13
“Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.”

CONFESSION:
You gave us what we asked for. You gave us the ability to elect our government. You gave us what we desired and now we see the long-term consequences.

Thank You that we have been a blessed nation from the beginning. We proclaimed You as our God and You lavished blessings on us.

Yet, Father, I confess that we have turned from You in many ways, and it is obvious, as we consistently pass laws that are against the guidelines that You have set, that we have gone our own way.

• – We no longer value You as our God, and took prayer out of schools and public forums.
• – We no longer value life, and passed laws to legalize abortion.
• – We no longer value Your marriage covenant, and legalized same-sex marriage.
• – We no longer value Your model for family, and have redefined it to suit our desires.
• – We no longer value Your desire for unity, and pursue division.

Forgive us, call us, individually, to repent.

THANKSGIVING:

• – Thank You that You bring hope.
• – Thank You that You bring hope because Jesus Christ paid for all our sins.
• – Thank You that Jesus Christ is Truth! Oh, how we need Truth. Jesus Christ, You are Truth!
• – Thank You for Your Word, that we can know who You are and understand Your character, Your countenance, Your hopes for us...and the things which You love and You hate.
• – Thank You that You have prepared a way for us to be in Your presence.
• – Thank You, Jesus Christ, that You rent the curtain in two and destroyed the barriers from our sin, that we may stand before the Holy God.
• – All praise and glory to Your Name, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Living God.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

SUPPLICATION:
Father, this nation is being stolen. Raise up Your church to pray:

Healthcare is becoming nationalized.

• With it, the government will choose who may receive care.
  – Raise up creative people and position them to find and implement alternatives that would preserve the free market.
• Healthcare has become an industry serving the greed of those who believe they can secure power and wealth.
  – Raise up those who would protect us. Raise up servants of the people.

Our government seeks to control our right to bear arms.

• The school shootings have caused our youth to demand gun control.
  – Help us to see the unintended consequences of government control. You, O God, know the message that would bring reasonability to this matter.
  – Teach us to pray for the safety of our nation and our right to protect ourselves as provided by the Constitution.
• This very action has great potential to cause our youth to be left at the mercy of those who seek to control the United States.
  – Grant us the words to communicate with our youth in ways that honor You and will protect them and their future.

Our government debt is out of control.

• We are addicted to buying, having, and succumbing to our desires.
  – Please work in our minds and hearts to desire control over our spending.
• Father, we do not control our personal debt.
  – Help us. Bring repentance, that we may set a contagious example in this nation.
• Father, we have made "self-control" undesirable. We have lost control.
  – Bring us back. Awaken our sensibilities to the Holy Spirit. ...alas, we are so lost.

We cannot do this on our own.
Please send Your Spirit and teach us to walk in faith and action...
     ...that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,
