I come to You and bow low before Your throne. Our children have been taught that socialism leading to communism as a form of government, is preferable to what You have ordained in the US Constitution. I slept while this was happening in our schools. Please forgive me.
Now those children are adults and they do not know any better. They know what they have been taught. Evil forces invaded our land, slithering quietly between our feet, entering every possible crevasse, filling every crack with lies. Thank You for waking me up. Thank You for opening my eyes to the results of my inaction.
A civl war is brewing here. I believe You are going to raise up President Trump again. It will get ugly.
Psalms 7Rise up O God as our defense. In Christ, we are upright in heart. By Your grace, we are awake and petition You for help. You who judge the righteous…remember we are in Christ. You are angry with the wicked every day - save us O God, for the wicked are daily coming after us. Every day, they bully their way into power. Their derangement seems complete…as if they have indeed sold their souls and they seem to live under a great delusion. Have mercy.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
You have commanded us to be salt and light. Salt preserves and Light exposes. How can we do this and do it in love? Salt in a wound is painful We are a wounded nation. We have open wounds and Truth rubs salt directly into the situation and it is painful
To Your church - expose the wounds that we have allowed to fester. Show us the infection that is driven to permeate every part of our nation. Are we in sepsis? Has the infection grown so great that it has take over our vital organs: prayer, family, marriage, gender…Father, forgive us. For many, the heart of our nation has been wounded. For Your church, we lost our heart for the preservation of the nation. Forgive us.
You always have a remnant! There is a remnant and we are waking up! And we are petitioning You. We are humbling ourselves every day before You. We are seeking Your face. We seek Your hand. We realize this is so fare beyond what we can do, but we come believing that in You is Hope. In You is victory. We believe that the battle belongs to the Lord. You. The Great I Am.
Your church is living in open contradiction: Christian leftists, Christian socialists, Christian liberals…Jesus, I am so sorry.
Fear rages throughout the land. Many people are desperate - surely a civil war is brewing and in the next few weeks. Ephesus…people rioted there too. (Acts 19)…People had Paul arrested. Fear was rampant…AND …in v 19 Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds. 19And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books and burned them in front of everyone.
Many were saved. When the synagogue wouldn’t hear him, Paul went to the non-Jews. Father, will the “never-Trump-ers” listen? Again, this is for You to do. Are there others who will listen? Help us find them and give us words o sure. Save us from moving in the flesh. Let us align ourselves with Your Word and go to battle before Your throne. Let us stand fast in the faith. As the enemy surrounds us like a roaring lion, let us lean on You remembering You will equip us as You did David when he slayed the lion who were attacking his sheep.
Satan is trying to devour us…creating instability. Help us to be sober and vigilant. The time is here…we are to stand. As this progresses, equip us to stand fast. …the whole armor - written to the Ephesians!
Father, did You covenant with America…are we endowed by You, our Creator with certain unalienable rights? The DNC is against this. They want to fundamentally change the US. Fundamentally, we do not need to change. So we need Your help. What is our stand? How do we remain loving in our claims.
Ephesians 5:14: …”Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” Walk in wisdom.
Socialism: the government replaces the church. Abortion is from the enemy. Siding with Iran instead of Israel is counter to Your directive. So is destroying the ability of people to work for a living, protect their family… how do we stand against this in love? How can we be light? …only in Christ. Teach us to disagree and still be loving. Teach us to stand and speak.
Let us rise in loving boldness and not compromise the Truth. Let complacency fall from Your church and let us stand against compromise.
Paul to Corinth…outraged with the church…equip us to run the race to win, as You define it. Let us speak up in love, even it it insights persecution. We cannot just stand by. Let us be salt and light.
Let us boldly proclaim Truth. Not mincing words. Let us use our rights as American citizens and with the testimony of Jesus. Let us take our stand. Stand fast in the faith, strong in the Lord and with Love as the driving force.
