Furnace Prayers...the dark truth...but God

Heavenly Father, Son and Savior, and Holy Spirit,

Capture my thoughts on this matter.
Capture my resolve.

Grant me, and those who are willing to read this, the determination to do everything we can to help the innocent and expose those who who are part of the hideous malfeasance that is being made known.

When I am finished here on earth; when I stand in judgement before You, I want to have completed every task that You have given to me regarding this matter. May nothing be left undone. Hear my prayer.

THE ETERNAL WITNESS
You are the Eternal Witness of all things. You know the depth to which political leaders and others are involved with the pedophile rings and cults that wreak death in the darkness. You know the whole dark truth. You know the gruesome and macabre actions and You know every person who has any involvement.
Psalm 33
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
You are the Eternal Witness of every crime committed against these children. You know every child. Oh God, have mercy for the children’s sake.

WE ARE A CURSED NATION!
Deuteronomy 27:25
Cursed he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Rise up O God. People are selling and committing abhorrent crimes against the most vulnerable. Which is more abhorrent to You: abortion or pedophilia? How can You choose?

Rise up, O God. I petition You on behalf of these children. You have witnessed everything. Raise up Your church. Give us no rest until we do everything we can to free these children. Bring the truth of this matter public. Expose it to the world!

I plead with You to shed Your Light into every crevice that keeps these children as prisoners. Bring Light. Please O God. Jesus, Light of the World - rise up. Show the world what is going on that we may be outraged and repent.

Is Your enemy Satan too much for You? It cannot be. I appeal to You.

Have mercy O God.

Furnace Prayers: ...sold like Joseph
          ...but they will bow down

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

Good morning and praise be to Your Name. You are the One True and Living God. I bow before You in the knowledge, the fact, that my spirit has life because You, Jesus Christ, chose to pay for my sins. I am so grateful. Please keep me close to my salvation, which was so hard won. Thank You.

Father, the life of this nation is at stake and I believe that You birthed this nation as One Nation Under God. As I contemplate the world history, I realize that Your enemy Satan has been in outright war against You and against all that serves You and he has been at it since You cast him out of heaven.

The USA? Were we sold? Sold in our earlier days to become a corporation? Then did someone do what was right to exonerate our debt and any claim against us? Are we again free to be a republic? Please reveal Truth to us, that we may proclaim Truth.

Joseph’s brothers hated him…because his father loved him more than the others. …it was that coat of many colors that set Joseph apart. Father…Father of all living. We are a nation of many colors…red, yellow, black, and white…all precious in Your sight. Our flag of red, white and blue.

Those who are determined to bring us down…You know every name and every heart. There are so many similarities:
  • Joseph was sent away. Mr. Trump has been sent away.
  • The land became desecrated with famine and the new Executive Orders are removing the blessings on this land. The people are suffering.
  • Meanwhile Joseph was being raised up and provision was being made for the saving of the nation. I believe You are making provision for this nation to rise above the horrendous sin that must be exposed.
  • A fantastic strategy was put in place and Simeon was detained. Are people being detained? (Gen. 42)
  • The brothers were in anguish as the strategy played out. They had to wait. But little by little, their sin was exposed. Are those who are trying to cover their sin writhing in anguish?
  • The rest of the family had to wait, without any information about the well-being of the nation. Are we waiting in the wings as the strategy plays out? Help Lord!
  • ALL the brothers came before Joseph and at the right time; Joseph revealed himself as the result of their sin.
Will You do something similar? Will you bring all those that sinned agains this nation before You and expose their sin before the people? The nation is supposed to be owned by “the people”… We the People.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Will You expose those who have stolen her from us…publicly?

Are we now at the stage when hidden sin is exposed? The new Executive Orders are crushing us. Open our eyes to see it. Open our hearts to feel it and to know that something is terribly wrong. Open our mouths to protect the freedoms that were so hard won by so many who gave their lives that we could live free. Unite this nation again O God, for You are our only hope?

May we again be an obedient people. Have mercy, for we have been tricked, manipulated, and used. So many factions have been lied to and convinced to war against each other. So much of Your design has been thwarted: marriage, abortion, prayer in the schools, gender identity,..the list is endless.

Have mercy on us O God. We do not deserve it, but we are still Yours. You made us and not we ourselves. Create the path to return to You. Give us humble hearts to unite under Your sacrifice.

I know You love these people who have turned from You. Have some turned completely and now serve Satan:? Have they sold out? Many people testify that You have brought them out of cults and freed them for Your service. Would You do it again? The price has been great to maintain our freedom. Please, Lord God of Life. You are the God of the living. May these lives not be lost in vain.

Protect those who come before You on behalf of this nation. Hide them under the shadow of Your wing…in complete safety. Protect their livelihoods, their families, and time before Your throne, and all the substance that You have given them…set them (and me) as “off limits” to Your enemy. Encourage us to stand. You didn’t say to fight. Even the Archangel Michael said, “The Lord rebuke you.” when the enemy came upon him. Lord, please rebuke the enemy that we can stand strong. Strengthen us to occupy until You come.

I bow before You and make these requests.

Furnace Prayers: Who is in the furnace?

Sovereign God,
Your sovereignty brings rest to my soul.

You exercise supreme, permanent authority. Nothing, nothing is outside Your power to enforce. You demand obedience. Your commands alone will stand. You are the judge; and You determine the whole course of judgement.

Help me to understand Your sovereign love?

Your love envelopes me. It woos me to draw close to You. Your love embraces me, squeezing out every drop of fear. It leaves me content, because, You, The Most High God embraces me, surrounds me, protects me and yes…You provide for all my needs. Whom or what shall I fear?
Psalm 23:5
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
Well, the enemy is all around. The enemy presses in. The enemy does not know or want to know You. The enemy is hard at work, viciously attacking, threatening and coercing people to do his bidding.

These people are caught up as they try to save their lives. They don’t understand that by losing their life, they will save it…and be set free.

THIS IS FACT:
John 12:25
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 8: 36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Indeed, Your Word is Fact. My faith is based on Fact. My faith is based on Truth. My faith is based on The Living Word: Jesus Christ.

Jesus, You are faithful to Your Word. Those are YOUR Words. I will not fear.

But these people who have done horrific things for horrific reasons…they are so afraid. It seems like it is eating them up from the inside out. They seem to be writhing in the fear and the anticipation of being found out.

They are in the furnace. …and they cannot see the way out. Your enemy, Satan, keeps them there, focused on the consuming fear that gives him control.

Capture them; embrace them with Your love. The furnace is heating up. They are writhing, squirming faster and faster. Their hearts are twitching as Truth comes forth.

You have settled me with Your Words:
John 10:28
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
Have mercy on these people who are held captive by Satan and his minions. I implore You to exert Your dominion over them! Bring these people out of their prisons.

These people, O God: the faux administration, our Senators, members of the House of Representatives, Governors, Mayors…all civic leaders who are caught up in the lies that slaughter their hope. I bring all those in the abortion industry, all those caught up in the BLM and Antifa movement. Have mercy on them all.

You love them. Bring Your presence forefront in their minds and hearts. Let Truth reign! Please, Jesus, Who is the Christ!…please don’t letYour sacrifice on their behalf be cast aside for the impending death that awaits these people.

Please brig them out of their earthly furnace so they aren’t found in the eternal one.
Snatch them out of the hand of the enemy! Foil his plans for their lives.

Hear my prayer on behalf of these souls who are precious to You.
For the sake of the Kingdom of Christ…Who now stands at the door.

Furnace Prayers: ...from deep within the fire...
              ...please stop the carnage

O gracious Father, Beloved Son and Messiah, and Holy Spirit,

I fall before You. Progress and the changes for the better are cast aside as each new Executive Order cancels the work of the previous administration. The hatred is ferocious… a massive roaring mass of horror is descending on the United States.

It is so embarrassing to see how this administration is being used to do the work of Your enemy, Satan. It seems like they eagerly revoke every policy that protected this nation, and then desecrate it. Choices of cabinet members and other leaders seem designed to mock You, to promote perversion, and devour everything here that would honor You.

They are being used and they have no idea that their actions of profane violation of Truth, are directly against You. O God of Truth — they are using us, Your children. WE are targeted with laws against this nation. These people are being used to put chains on this nation…Your nation…One Nation Under God. Please stop the carnage.

Seventy thousand jobs are lost. Thousands of small businesses will close almost immediately, with the rise of the minimum wage — and those who used to make $11 an hour …will be out of work as the business is forced to close. I pray that every one of these people will cry out to You. I pray that the pain brought about by these laws cause them to rethink what they see and realize that the media has been keeping Truth from them. …and I ask that they bring every politician to task before their voters.

Open the eyes of the people of the United States. Raise up the desire for freedom. Bring understanding to this nation that our freedoms have been stolen. Give us voice! Bring us to the places where our voices can be heard and strengthen us to stand for Truth and take this nation back...One Nation Under God.

What about the children? Millions of dollars given so that Planned Parenthood can spread like a cancer across this nation and take the lives of Your inheritance. Please, please, open the eyes of your precious black people to understand that this is a direct attack on them, to eliminate them, to murder black children. Please stop the carnage.

Raise up the voices of black men of valor with a voice to speak to the young men who are easily swayed into violent expressions of their frustration. O Father, please embrace these young men and show them Your unwavering love for them. Please stop the carnage.

Every day, the furnace is getting hotter. Is it different than in the Book of the prophet Daniel? (Daniel 3) The nation is being forced to bend their knee to the gods of those in power. We are being coerced to bow to their oppression. The heat rises, Father. Raise up Your Truth before we are charred to dust.

Did You save the Hebrew men more than once? King Nebuchadnezzar was in such a hurry that the fire killed the men who were carrying Your men of valor to their death. (v22) The fire was seven time hotter. It killed the men who carried Your servants. Then they were thrown in. And four men, not three, were in the furnace. A Christophany? The Lord Himself — there in their presence?

…must we endure seven time the hardship to wake up to the threat that surrounds us…that the media hides from us? Our faux president is in a tremendous hurry to put hardship after hardships upon this nation. Jobs and children are being murdered. Please stop the carnage.
Nebuchadnezzar was in a rage, and full of fury (v13, v19)
Our faux administration is outraged and our truly elected President!
Father, this is Satan, unleashed at this nation! Hear my cry!
Nebuchadnezzar acted with haste (v24)…and so these Executive Orders.
…I sigh as I watch and wait …Your timing is perfect, please uphold Your servants.
Nebuchadnezzar commanded his “most mighty men” (v20) to bind Your servants and kill them.
Please protect our military from blasphemy against You and this nation.

Nebuchadnezzar saw four men and said:
“…and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God!”
Hallelujah! Jesus, the Messiah, I call out to You…

Open their hearts to clearly see the Fourth One who walks with us. May the fire have no power against us. Raise up our voices to proclaim Your Salvation. I plead for the souls of these people! Hear my voice. Please stop the carnage. Please save all who will bend the knee now.
Daniel 3:27
And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
I know You are here with us. Rise up and protect us from the flames. Open the eyes of every Nebuchadnezzar in this land! Open the eyes of deceitful judges, mayors, governors, congressmen and women…every person with any power at all…open their eyes to see YOU! Father, these people are being used by Satan to do his work …please protect them.

Nebuchadnezzar spake and said,
Daniel 3:28
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Only You can do this. I bring this nation before You. You and only You can stop the carnage.

I ask it for the sake of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, which is soon upon us.

Furnace prayers: Perseverance by testing ...the bitter pool

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,
O God of my heart…this situation draws me close to You. Thank You.

I am sorry it has taken this kind of calamity for me to come before You on behalf of this nation. You are using this time to deepen my pleading before Your throne of grace and mercy on behalf of this Republic, which You birthed.

It’s much easier to pray for those things in my immediate day…those places where I can “see.” So You have brought this nation front-and-center to my attention and then You turned out the lights so I can’t see and must proceed by faith. Thank You…walking by faith is much safer.

The turn of events, last Wednesday, was incredibly disappointing as I watched so expectantly at the proceedings…my hopes dwindled. They plummeted. I was dull inside…blank.

I confess that (once again) I was walking by sight. Again my trust was in what I thought should have happened. Derek Prince reminds me that “Man’s disappointments are God’s appointments.” Oh thank You for Your Word.

WOW…out of Egypt, into the desert, and YOU actually led them to the pool at Marah. (Ex. 15:22-27). You did this with intention! You show me, here the desires of Your heart. You have led me here. Teach me, lead me, to join You in Your work.

There was lots of complaining. But I can choose to trust in You. Moses prayed and sought You…I choose to seek You. Moses threw the tree into the water. The tree…an action of faith.

Jesus was hung on a tree. I will pray His Resurrection over this nation….by faith.

O God of all nations, turn the bitter water to sweet. Capture those who have been caught up in the enormous deception that binds and enslaves this nation. Our situation is bitter, but You have crafted this appointment and I will not be fixated on the avalanche of putrid water that is being poured out over this nation.

Open the eyes of the many, to see the results of this faulty election. Please take Your place over their Dominion software. May they complain bitterly at what they have brought forth through their stealthy planning and lying deceptions.

Gather Your own - Your church - to pray as Moses…that we, Your voice, may bring the salt and light and proclaim that He, who was sacrificed on the tree is the answer. He is Truth!

Holy Spirit, as You drove Jesus into the wilderness, drive us to pray for these people that they can be infused with the sweet water of Your anointing and find Truth. For the Truth alone shall set them free.

I ask it,
For the sake of the Kingdom fo Jesus Christ, that is quickly forthcoming.

Friends, I will not throw in the towel. I will throw in the tree.

Election 2020: ...with rigor! ...count it all joy!

God of all Comfort,
Father, who attends to my call,
Prince of Peace, who brought me to the Father at great price,
Holy Spirit, who indwells me,

Thank You for the day and for the abundance of opportunity that lies before me. Fill my heart with joy, with Truth, with faith…Your faith. Draw me close and fill me, that I may hold strong and be found faithful, for the sake of Your kingdom. Amen!

What is this that I feel? Am I feeling a bit hopeless at the thought that this situation will not be turned around? But You are the One who turns around situations. That’s what Your Word is all about! Take courage, O my soul! Rise up before the God who Turns around situations! We mess it up and YOU turn it around for good. Thank You.

It’s easy to say, “I am trusting in You…and say “You alone can expose the evil and save these people. I is easy to say in my heart, “All is well.” …it is easy to say it when I can find encouragement that those in power have a plan.

Have I been trusting in their plan? …rather than Yours? Forgive me…for I have, to some degree. I’m not sure if I thought You are in control and blessing their plan…OK…
OR
You are helping others implement their plan. Not good.

You have the only plan and through it, Your purposes will be fulfilled. Glory and thanksgiving to God on High. Your plan is clear:
…that all men be saved.
With intention, I shift my focus to Your Plan.

Father, the “chat” is disconcerting as many people, now in power, are calling for any conservative voice to be identified as a traitor to this nation.

I take heart that, one the one hand, there is a call for “unity.” …and on the other hand there is outright hatred and retaliation…a commitment to silencing any and all opposition. Hmmm…there is division in this faux administration. You clearly state that:
Matthew 12:25 “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:”
WOW! That’s clear. That’s part of YOUR Plan…Thank You!

So what is my commission at this time? It has not changed:
Matthew 28: 19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
How do I apply it to my living today?

Father, You have shown me that many people have been coerced to choose between the life of loved ones and committing heinous acts. They have been black-mailed, tricked, and stealthily beguiled. You want every one of them saved, if they will turn to You.

I stand before You, humbled that You would allow me to do so. You have placed certain people on my heart and I plead for their salvation. I plead for Truth to come to them in many ways and to distract their attention so they can turn to You and be set free.

I ask that You put people on the hearts of all my brothers and sisters, specific individuals, that they may do likewise.
1 Timothy 2:1 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;”
Reveal to them how to pray for those You have placed on their heart. Compel us to stand before Your throne of grace an plead for their souls. With every thought and breath, may the Gospel go out for the glory of the Kingdom…and may we count it all joy:
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
I bring my brothers and sisters before You…have mercy on us all as we await YOUR Plan to save this nation. May we all commit ourselves, with great rigor and excitement as we fulfill the commission You have given us. You have given us our orders, equipped us with full armor for battle. May we be found faithful.

Compatriots in arms! Hands together!

Praise be to God on High!

Election 2020: Beguiled...but breaking through to victory

Thank You Father and Lord for sending Your Spirit to guide and teach us. Thank You for all who believe in salvation through Jesus Christ, whom You sent, and who fulfilled every prophesy You gave - so we could know beyond a doubt that He is Messiah!

There is deep anguish in my soul. I am heartbroken as I see the vile manner in which I have truly been seduced. You show me clearly that I am a murderer and a thief. You show me that I have taken a stance against YOU…my God and my Savior, my Redeemer. I too, like Eve, have been tricked, beguiled. I fall before You and beg Your forgiveness.

You have proclaimed that it is by grace we are saved through faith. I need two ingredients: grace and faith. I have petitioned You to pour out Your grace upon this nation. You have petitioned me to offer grace to those who are involved with the takeover of this country. You have said, “Marcia, don’t you be deceived.

Today, You enlighten me that I have not only been deceived, but I have followed the desires of my earthly flesh; I have desired the demise of people in government. I have raised myself up as their judge. I want them gone! I want them held accountable. I want them exposed and brought to justice! But these actions belong to YOU. I have taken Your seat as god. Please forgive me.

You have been gracious to me and have led me to think differently about this situation. Thank You for Your gentle hand of correction. Thank You for taking me down this path:
There are all these people towards whom I have deep animosity. Many are government officials, people who are in office through dishonest means. I am angry at the clear implications that there is severe malfeasance by these people against innocent children. It makes me writhe and churn inside as I consider both abortion and pedophilia.

But You still want that all men be saved. …This is Your primary goal that I conveniently shove out of sight and as I attend to my emotional desires.

What could possibly have put these people under the cruel, draconian control that would bring someone to molest and murder innocent children? What was the lure? Did they have to choose between molesting a child, or having their own children molested? Did they have to kill someone, or immediately see their own family murdered?

You bring me to Eve… I realize she did the sin. BUT I forget the she didn’t get into a relationship with the serpent to intentionally break relationship with You. She was beguiled, tricked, and seduced. Those initial conversations with the serpent - it seems to me, they were innocent on her side as she looked with curiosity. Innocent curiosity,

What about these people…did it start off so innocently…offering something they might desire?

Was it through several discussions… that Eve was, ever so slowly, carefully and craftily seduced? Step by step? Baby steps, assuring her there was nothing to fear? She was beguiled…led stealthily and with great cunning …until she was caught in sin. It was done! And then she led Adam…who, apparently, was there during the whole thing…he went along with it. Since he was there, he too was craftily led into sedition and insurrection…against You.

What about these people…did they walk a similar path?

You show me that the insidious cunning of Satan has not lost its venom. No, his skill has increased through time to entrap even the best of us… including me. You have repeatedly admonished me not be deceived. And yet, I have been deceived. Teach me Holy Spirit.
We are at war! My wrath comes pouring forth against people I can see. Yet the battle is in the heavenliness…and not with these people. These people are here, and YOU are at war with Your enemy for their eternal souls. And here I am, wishing they were put away…Truly I have pitted myself against You. I have not been on Your side!
1 John 3:15
“Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.”
I have been walking in the flesh, in full carnality. Your Spirit admonishes me to walk differently. I have not. Forgive me. When I have wanted traitors sentenced to death. I have murdered them in my heart. I am doing the work of Satan.

I want these perpetrators gone! You want them saved. I have joined the enemy camp. Forgive me and pour out Your mercy, for I am a loathsome sinner without excuse.

Father, how many have been beguiled to think these people should be exposed and brought to justice…without pleading for their souls? We want their hurt, rather than for justice to be served. You tell us they indeed should be brought to justice and that all is exposed! …but that’s Your job, not mine. I confess that in these thoughts, I am a thief as I have snatched Your work for myself.

The Apostle Paul murdered Your followers. But You healed him and brought him forth for Your work. Please do the same for me and for my brothers and sisters in Christ who may have been caught up in the deception of the enemy, just as I have been.

Please send this message out, that we, Your church, plead for the souls of those who have been beguiled by Satan to commit heinous crimes against humanity. Pour out Your compassion on us that we can receive them and guide them to salvation and healing. The ramifications of sin still remain. There is a price. Unify us as Your army that we may embrace them and pay the price together as You lead Your church.

Hear my prayer, for the sake of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Election 2020: Standing strong
                    ...for such a time as this

Gracious Father,
Begotten and promised Son,
Spirit of the Living God,

Thank You for this day. Thank You for this time when so much is active. I pray for all who are waiting for fraud to be exposed, for Truth to be exalted, and the ruse of this election brought forth. It’s bigger than the election and so much is at stake. Hold us strong. Encourage our souls and spirits that we stand with expectancy and excitement and in confidence that You have not abandoned us.

We wait on You. Thank You that You are have not turned from our petitions. Wow…Israel was in Egypt for over 400 years when You turned towards them and released them from their bondage..and then that lengthy walk in the desert. They had to wait for generations. But You have given us Your Word, and it indicates that this time of waiting will soon be over. I believe Your Word.

We wait expectantly! My mind is like a pendulum - swinging to and fro. At one end I think, “Will something happen today?”…and my excitement heightens and my hope looks for news. And on the other end I think, “Will I need to wait for days, weeks, or months…for Your salvation to come?” For all of us, watching and waiting - keep our eyes peeled on You and Your work.

There is work to be done in this waiting room. May we not miss it. May we keep Your will forefront…that all men be saved. Father, if this nation is not saved, then the ability to proclaim the Gospel will be greatly diminished. We know that persecution grows the church. But I ask that we can again be One Nation Under God and that we, as a nation, come to our senses and use the privilege of freedom to proclaim the Gospel.

* * *

The Book of Esther has received increased attention during these times of turmoil. Perhaps there is a message for us today. You allowed the enemy to come against Your chosen people. Haman was received into the palace! …and his confidence grew and grew. He dined there! ...while he had gallows built for the death of Your servant, Mordecai. (Esther 7-9) Is there a parallel?
I will not fret if our “palace” is occupied by the enemy.
I will not lose hope if everything we see continues to raise up lies against our nation.
I will not be swayed into thinking that You have abandoned us.

It seems to be going “down to the wire.” I ask that it be a “trip wire”…that quickly brings down the house of cards.
The plot was exposed to Your servants, but the plan to counter that plot.. took time. Esther was so shrewd to wait, and to stealthy allow Haman to think he was getting away with his evil. What is so interesting is —at just the exact moment, while the King was contemplating that Haman was a traitor…that Haman tripped and fell on Esther —just when the king returned to the room. Is there a parallel? That was more than Esther planned on! Did you slip a banana peel at just the right time?
Are “We the people” who have been betrayed...the king?
Will You make it clear to us that we have been betrayed?
Would You cause an act to expose where Truth lies – beyond any doubt! …that this nation may come together again?
I ask it.
Haman, behind the back of the king, built gallows for the demise of Mordecai. It seems clear that the deep state has done the same for this nation.
Will You expose the instruments of death that have been devised by our enemies?
Will You cause ALL of the enemy to be exposed?
Will You have them held publicly responsible?
I ask it.
We come humbly before. We see how You have managed a similar situation in the past. We know that You alone are able to save us. I bow before You and ask Your mercy.

Election 2020: The enemy is too much...where is hope?

My God and my Deliverer,
My Redeemer and my Salvation,
Comforter, Guide, and Hope,

I appeal to You in what seems like the darkest hour of my life as I see that hope of this nation moving quickly to its death. The nation itself is locked in the cross-hairs of the enemy. I appeal to You, God of all nations. In You alone is hope. In You alone is the power needed to bring all to light and expose the hidden transgressions, the abominable schemes and agendas that have been raised form the pit of hell.

You are light. The perverse sin, gleefully dancing under the facade of our living is completely known to You. Raise it up for all to see, that we may all take responsibility for how we shall move forward. I appeal to You: God of Justice, who is Righteousness, Truth…yes…and judgement. Pour out Your light that we may see what has been allowed to propagate…what has been allowed to breed freely amongst our most trusted civil servants —spreading the darkest and most deplorable actions against the most vulnerable among us.

The Constitution: it is more than a piece of paper. The Constitution is the very fabric from which this nation has been woven. Thank You this testament which has brought an unmeasurable outpouring of Your blessings upon us. Truly, it seems to be in complete opposition to what has become the reality of our society, economy, and basis for our faith.

Truly, the hidden behaviors, the transgressions in the darkness, have stealthily permeated every part of our living. Only You can help us.

Father, it all seemed to happen so quickly. It was there…the tech-giants were there with the power, but we didn’t put them in check. The abortion industry was gaining power and we didn’t pray it away. Law-makers and civil-“servants" were put into place who do not believe in You; and their hatred for all You stand for has filled their hearts with animosity and permeated every corner of this nation.

I am so sorry that I have been unaware and haven’t been diligent to protect the freedoms that You have given us…those inalienable rights, endowed by our Creator - YOU. Please forgive me.

HOWEVER…IS ANYTHING GREATER THAN YOU?

We can see no way out. Is this too much for You? It is not. However, You are the God of judgement and we certainly deserve Your judgement. But You are also the God of mercy and grace.

Surely, You are able. You can pull us out of this dark mess. Are You willing?

You have a history of catching Your enemies in the very traps that they set for others. You command and direct the weaponry of the enemy. You were behind the rock that slew Goliath. You watched as Haman built the gallows for Your chosen servant in the Book of Esther…but Haman and his sons were hung.

The gravity of this situation is too much for me. But it is not too much for You. You are my hope and stay. I ask You uphold all Your servants who are looking to You for help this day. Hear the call in our hearts. Strengthen us that we praise You this day for the work of Your hands!

Place grace in our being…every particle! Our thoughts, words, actions! For by GRACE we are saved! Pour out Your grace on this nation on this day that the underworld of perverseness is exposed, judged, and sentenced…O please do this thing, that we, as a nation may, once again, stand before You, humbled once again at Your desire that all men be saved.

I raise the Hallelujah!

Amen!

Election 2020: Suffer the little children...

To You, the Holy God, the God Most Holy.

My soul cries out on behalf of a nation in distress and in complete turmoil. The dagger is out of the sheath; raised, and at the ready to pierce the heart of this nation—which is our Constitution. I hold my breath as I wait for You, my God and my Savior.

You judge the nations. We have, as a nation, abandoned You and forsaken Your Word. We have mocked You —making ourselves gods and rebuking Your direction, Your ways, and Your Word. Truly we have neglected the very fabric of this nation, that is woven into the Constitution by Your hand, Your Word, and Your Spirit. All from the days of its signing on September 17, 1787.

You were there. Were You beaming with pride as we became One Nation Under God? Thank You!…for truly, You have embraced us, blessed us, raised us up as a world power and defender of righteousness, freedom and justice throughout the world. You raised us to stand for and with Your beloved Israel and defend her to the world.

Throughout our history, You have given us a spirit of ingenuity and we have, and continue to bless the world with the overflow of Your blessings. I give You thanks and pour out my heart of gratitude for Your blessings that exceed my comprehension.

But there is the matter of children.
Yes children. Vulnerable, trusting, and powerless. We have sinned so grievously with regard to the care of Your inheritance. They are Yours! …on loan for our care.
Psalm 127:3
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
We are aghast when we read in the Bible, that a King sacrificed his firstborn son at the gates of a city. (I Kings 16:34). …and yet, we turned our backs as millions of unborn children are murdered every day in our communities. Please have mercy. We have, without mercy, stolen that which is Yours.

This brings me to the matter that we have not concerned ourselves regarding the safety of children that are sold into slavery. The human trafficking of children is not unknown to us.

Sex-trafficking of these most vulnerable gifts, has become a hidden part of our society yet right in front of us. It is so repulsive and loathsome, that we, many of us (most?)…those in Your church have turned away. We have not even bothered to raise a feeble prayer under our breath as we see the pictures of missing children.

Perhaps this has been our greatest offense. O God have mercy. Whatever You deem right and whatever You place on this nation is just. It is justified.

I weep before Your throne at our negligence. I am guilty. Your church is guilty. And Your judgement rightly begins with us.
1 Peter 4:17
“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”
Have mercy O God. Right along with the abortion matter comes these children and adolescents who have been abused in the most abhorrent manner. Our neglect of this issue is reprehensible and loathsome. Forgive us for turning away. The thought is past what I can bear.

I have not called on You to give me the strength or even ask You what to do. And I have left You alone with it. I have done little or nothing. I have abandoned You and deprived Your work, through me. By not getting involved, I have denied Your work through me regarding this matter—which should have been paramount! It should have taken first priority.

May I have another chance? Would You give Your church another chance? There are some who have tackled theses issues head on! They have dedicated their time, energy and resources against abortion and sex trafficking!

If given another chance, are there those who would stop, hear, and heed Your call to remove this curse on our nation?

How big is this issue? You know O God. Surely it is a global pestilence that goes deeper and broader, infiltrating the full scope of Your world… and it is there, right in front of us. Children reaching out and begging for someone to notice and help.

Remove the self-inposed shields that have veiled our vision and purpose as Your people! Your church!

Bring deep repentance AND O God —bring resolution on this matter. These dens of iniquity are all around us! CONSCIBE US! Press us to come running to report for service.

I come. I am reporting for duty.

Please hear my call to release this nation from this self-inflicted curse, that You can once again bless us.

For the kingdom of Jesus Christ, Messiah and King of Kings.

Election 2020: Shalom as time stands still

Father of all creation, Lord Jesus, Son of the Living God, and Holy Spirit, who walks beside me through each day.

Gracious God, You are Shalom.

You are Peace in my heart…please take up residence there and fill every space and every crack and crevice. Fill all of it.

Your Shalom is for my mind:
... which is like a high-speed popcorn maker, spewing thoughts and concerns in every direction as the heat and oil from beneath cause one eruption after another. Teach me to access Your readily available Peace to calm my thoughts and focus on Your work for the day.

Your Shalom is for my spirit.
I admit that the focus of my day, my thought life, is filled with high emotion, intense pressure from those around me and from my concern for the election and the future of our nation. Please overlay the work of the day with Your concerns. Saturate all that I’m doing and thinking(!).

Father, I don’t want this time of national and spiritual unrest (an understatement!) to be wasted because my focus has been hijacked! I don’t want to be sucked into the deep vortex of darkness and render me worthless and unprofitable for Your kingdom! God forbid!

The principalities are surely descending on Washington DC. The battle for this nation is being challenged from every side. There seems to be no way out. But God! You! You are working this out. Your angelic hosts have not taken a vacation, gone to the doctor, or decided to have a picnic. Your hosts are greater than anything Your enemy can do.

You are Lord of Hosts! Commander of the Army of God! …keeping me safe while time seems to stand still. You repeatedly make this point in Your Word:
Joshua and Jericho (Joshua 5 and 6)…that’s a good one. Your people marched around and it caused fear in the people. You have commanded us to “occupy until You come.” And after all the silence, day after day, they shouted.

So during my day, I am asking that I walk in Your strength as salt and light to this ailing world. You have promised to direct my steps. So You are placing me where Your presence is needed. Pour out Your Shalom on those around me: in my home, my community, and my travels.

Gideon and Midian (Judges 6 through 8)…this may be my favorite. Just a few men, swinging lanterns and making a ruckus with trumpets. The enemy was so confused they fought each other. I’d like to see a replay of that someday. So You used 300 men to overcome 135,000 Midianites. I like those numbers...as well as the trumpets! Only 15,000 escaped and even those were captured.

This day and each day forward, I am asking that I be used as a lantern and trumpet...Your voice! I want to be Your voice. I ask that You confuse the principalities and powers over Washington DC. I leave that with You. And here in the place where I have influence, I want to be Your voice, Your Shalom and I want to shed the light of You lantern. Please, Lord God of the Living, I want to be a useful soldier and walk by the Spirit.

David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). He only took 5 stones and a sling, and he only used one of them. (I bet the other four would have brought high bids on eBay.) David also proclaimed Your Word to Your and his enemy! He said it out loud:
1 Samuel 17:45-47
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
WOW! Fill my mouth with Your words of courage and victory! I really like that David proclaimed victory! YOU guided that rock! I ask that You guide my words. I really like that David used the sword of the enemy to cut off Goliath’s head. You have told us that our Sword is The Word of God! It is YOU!
May the strategies of our enemy be the sword that cuts off their head!

Teach me to wield Your Word. Fill me with it! As You and Your Hosts fight the enemy of this nation, I want to fight the enemy here in my mind and in my neighborhood. Bring Your Word to my heart, mind, and mouth! Fill me so full that Your Word erupts out of my mouth to the right people at the right time. Use me Lord - I plead with You. Use me for Your Kingdom that this time of waiting is not wasted! Hear my prayer.

* * *
Time…it is so strange. How did You create it? One second at a time goes by. It does not fluctuate. It does not change - a second is a second; minutes are minutes, hours are hours. They do not change. They do not get longer or shorter. All the way through the solar system: The sun and moon mark the passing of the seasons. This has been in place since You put “Time” in motion. It is incredible. Glory be to God our Creator.

However, as we wait on You; as we wait on the next event…Time is standing still. Nothing is happening. But when it starts to happen, time moves so fast we find ourselves running as fast as possible to keep up! Now how is that? How did You do that? We live, observing our lives from the passing of events that create perceptions. It seems like each of us have our own personal psychological time. Is that correct? Our own personal perceived timeframes —with the capacity to accelerate and slow down?

Your time holds steady. You never stand still. Your will is in constant motion, constantly being fulfilled. All so I can live in Your Shalom. I don’t always choose to live there, yet; it is always available. Forgive me.

In Your Shalom is peace for my body, soul, and spirit. It is the place You have prepared for me. It is where I am to live while You fight the battles around me. You won’t force me to remain in Your Shalom.

I ask that You teach me to live there, secure in the Salvation of Christ, who is the Commander of the Hosts of Heaven. Teach me to remain in my lane, doing the work of distributing seeds of Your kingdom. Teach me to dress appropriately in the full armor that You have provided, and to walk in confidence by Your Spirit. Use me Lord. Here I am —send me.

Election 2020: On hold in the waiting room

Good morning my God who is faithful!
May the joy of my Salvation, the joy of Jesus Christ rise up secure in me throughout the day!

You are Jehovah Shammah: The Lord who is there! …even as we wait!

Waiting seems to be a consistent part of Your training classes. Yes?

We wait. You are here with us and we will not fear! There is no need to fear…Thy rod and Thy staff…I am comforted.

There are so many verses in Your Word about waiting. It seems there are special blessings and promises when we wait. We are strengthened:
Psalms 37:34
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
Thank you that YOU are the One who cuts off the wicked. You use people, but Your strength, Your way, Your purposes…You exalt! Exalt Your Word in our hearts! Strengthen us to keep Your way while we are being watchful! Give us keen vision to hold strong as we wait on You. You do these things.

Wickedness surrounds us! As the depth of it becomes evident, and as the strength of evil is revealed, and as we realize that the entire nation is in peril, YOU are not sleeping. YOU are not resting. YOU are at work. Hallelujah!

This verse seems especially poignant:
Psalms 37:7-9
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
That’s a remarkable invitation. We need rest; and our rest in You is deep. Thank You for rest. You beckon us to rest without worry, without anger, without a list of activities we have to complete — we are simply to rest. It seems too good to be true.

We see much wickedness in our nation. It has expanded throughout the world and it seems impossible that it could be overturned. So many people in this nation and from outside desire to crush our President and destroy the freedoms we have. Our situation seems impossible.

...but You are the God of the impossible…Throughout Your Word, we have story after story about Your ability to do the impossible. It seems to be Your specialty.

Thank You for waiting until the situation is impossible. Then You have us wait until until we are certain that there is no hope among men. Thank You that You wait for us to catch up and You capture our attention because there is no way to victory but through Your Hand.

Death of this nation is not only at the door, but it seems to have infiltrated every aspect of our culture, our government, our education system, our financial system and economy, and certainly our social interactions. Hatred is rampant, and increasing exponentially. It is poured out upon this nation by Your enemy Satan. He is so close that we feel the heat and smell the putrid stench of his breath.

And You say what?
Psalms 27:14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
You make it clear that we are to wait and to rest…even with patience, and not be afraid of what we see. I especially like the part about the eagle’s wings…and the part about not being weary. I'm feeling weary today.

I put my trust in You. I will rest and wait. You are the God of my Salvation and You do not fail.

Father, I pray for those in this nation who are pleading with You for the life of our Republic, for the Constitution, including the freedom to gather, to worship, to bear arms…all the Amendments.

Please uphold them. Encourage and strengthen their hearts. Open their eyes as they rest and wait, that they may see Your glory! For You are Faithful and True. You alone are Righteousness and You pour out Your grace and mercy…that all men may be saved. Save us this day!

Hold us close and shine Your light through us that we may encourage others during these perilous times.

I come having received Salvation through Jesus Christ.

Election 2020: Unorthodox solutions...His ways are not our ways

Praise and glory belong to the One, True, and living God.
Good morning!

You alone are El Elyon: The Most High God, our Creator and the Possessor of Heaven and Earth.
You are El Shaddai: All Powerful, All Sufficient!
You are Jehovah Jireh: The Lord who sees and who Provides!
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Thank You for distinguishing Yourself. I think we need constant reminders that You do not think like we do and You do not act like we do. Your complete righteousness and love for us is beyond our comprehension. Thank You that we cannot grasp the essence of how You work or how You think.

We cannot begin to comprehend You! Thank You for that. We can never come to an understanding of Your care of us, Your love for us. We like that part! And we cannot fathom Your mandate for Righteousness and Truth. We want Your justice—when it works in our favor. We want all who come against us to receive Your Justice. …yet, when it comes to our lives —we want Your Grace and Mercy. You don’t give us what we deserve: Your judgement. Instead, You offer us what we do not deserve: Your Grace.

Forgive us when we have desired Your Justice rather than Your grace on those who come against freedom and truth. We continue to want Truth to rise up and Justice to be served, rather than souls to be saved by the final sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

You bring unorthodox solutions!

Turn our attention to see how You are working! Fill us with the joy of our salvation as we go about our day, knowing that YOU, the God of all creation, who watches all this, YOU have the ultimate plan. Help us to turn our eyes to see what YOU are doing, rather than what they are doing.

Every day, the plot gets thicker. Every day, it feels like we are being pushed into a deeper and darker hole. The air is putrid as we learn more about the evil that surrounds us at every side. Father, the enemy is trying to silence anything that speaks about Truth or Justice!

A pilot threatened to land a plane because two passengers were having a private conversation and used the name of our President. Conservatives are being fired for being conservative. Liberals are calling for every person who voted for President Trump to be tried for treason! It seems like, feels like our very lives are being threatened. Now why is that?

Is it because their very lives are being threatened? …and so they are threatening ours? I think so! I see so many people and heads of organizations who are drunk with power. They have been intoxicated and the intoxication is spreading like a cancer across this land.

Did You know that website hosting companies are throwing off any website that speaks of You or holds any kind of conservative stance? You did? You knew? …You did know and You knew about it long before we did. Thank You.

I realize that if this had been “nipped in the bud” …none of this would have come out. We wouldn’t realize the depth of corruption that has seized our nation.

Will we ever get to the heart of the onion? How much more is there to peel back? You know it all. You have this. Thank You.

Every day is a showcase of more corruption: bribery, exploitation, extortion, fraud, misrepresentation, and unscrupulous behavior that clearly exposes the hearts of people who are filled with hate, intoxicated with power, and literally fighting for their lives at the prospect of being exposed. They cannot think straight, they cannot reason. They cannot consider any facts or logic. They cannot see Truth. They are fighting for their lives and spreading the fear of their demise with everything they have.

We watch them with great concentration, our eyes peeled for the next event. The water is getting deeper and the waves are higher around us, the wind is blustering—tossing us off our feet. Lightening and thunder are all around us…our situation is frightening. We are tempted to be terrified and to panic in our fear...and like Peter, we take our eyes off of You. …will we ever learn? Are You drumming Your fingers on the arm piece of Your throne?

I will not doubt You. You alone are salvation. Help me, help us all, to keep our eyes steadfastly on You.

Forgive us when we box You in and demand, in our hearts, the solution we have devised. More and more is being exposed…Thank You that You are allowing us to see the depth and breadth of corruption around us. We want our President to be in the Whitehouse for another four years. We want these people put away. You want souls to be saved.

Your thoughts are not our thoughts and Your solutions are unorthodox. I bend my knee. Fill me with salt and light for this day and give me the determination to keep my eyes on You –for You are the God of Salvation.

My spirit rejoices in Jehovah Sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts.

Election 2020: Caught in the jaws of Leviathan...

Oh Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,
You are the only God who is perfectly complete and perfectly unified: The God who is One.

Here I am…in the quiet. Thank You for joining me. Thank You for always being available and for changing my mental meanderings into petitions before Your throne. I come on behalf of this nation, our leaders, and the for Truth to be proclaimed across the world.

Please use me this day to be salt and light; to bring the flavor and aroma of Truth and proclaim the Light of Your Salvation.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Yes, again, use me Lord, for Your work this day.

The times are so tumultuous. Evil has driven so many into hysteria as Satan knows his time is short. So many are being manipulated into self-preservation mode. The media plays party to it all…they too, are caught in the jaws of Leviathan.

Have mercy on all these people who were manipulated, coerced, black-mailed beyond our imagination. You were there when every transaction took place. The enemy Satan is a deceiver. The stealthy CCP clearly does his hideous work in that nation…and You dearly love those people and so many hold strong for the Gospel.

There will be many stories to listen to in heaven…stories that tell how You delivered them, strengthened them for the intense trials that they endured –including torture, loss of family, being rejected and deserted and falsely accused. Yet, You upheld them. You walked through the valley of the shadow of death with them and You were there when they gave their lives.
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Psalms 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
The sedition and insurrection that is breaking out in our nation like a cancer, is being exposed. May it be undeniable - even to those who are being caught. Bring a Spirit of confession and repentance in the face of truth. Open their hearts to receive the true reality: You were there. You know everything they have done. Your knowledge is not up for question. You cannot be denied. They have no defense.

May they realize they have no defense and bow their knee to You for what they have done. May they realize that they are guilty and that the evidence is undeniable…that they may seek and find Your Salvation! That they may ask of You, the only One who can Redeem them. Amen and Hallelujah!
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
So much is happening over the next few days. The news media, the Big Tech Giants, the economic drivers, the control of the CCP in this country —all seem coordinated into a great Leviathan that is ready to devour Truth.

So it was as Daniel went into the Lions den. So it was when Israel stood at the Red Sea. So it was when Sennacherib came against Israel. So it was with so many. They humbled themselves and called on You. I humble myself and many, many others are doing the same. You know. We bow low before You, for in You alone is Salvation. In You alone is pathway through the valley of the shadow of death.

Leviathan is on top of us, ready to devour us. You spoke to Job about that, just before You exonerated him:
Job 41:
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Father, we are, without question, up against Leviathan. You are greater. You are Lord. You are God eternal.
Isaiah 27:1
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.

Psalms 74:14
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
I cry out to You on behalf of this nation. We are caught in the jaws of Leviathan and only You can save us. You brought Job’s comrades to repent. Job stood on their behalf and made supplication before You. Save us from this monster and may we, those who call You Lord, may we receive those who will accept Truth.

Ephesians 3:20 - 21
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end.
Amen.

Election 2020: Freedom of Speech. Not by power or by might...

….but by My Spirit says the Lord.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah to God our Savior and Redeemer. I put on the garment of praise to Thee, my Lord, and my Redeemer!
Isaiah 61:3 - To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
As the Tech Giants and the news media silence the President, my spirit is heavy. They are silencing every person who does not bow to them and their agendas.

But YOU will not be silenced. You are aware of what is happening; Your hand has not been withdrawn; Truth has NOT been silenced, diminished, or placed in the dark. The Light of the God has not diminished. It continues to shine on the just and the unjust.

Rise up, O my soul, for I will NOT be cast down! I raise my heart in praise to the Most High God, for HE will break open the deception that has lived in the darkness of this nation and the world. His Righteousness prevails. Though the Tech Giants, who believe they are god, move deftly to silence Truth, they cannot escape the grasp of Your eyes, which are firmly upon them, upon the wickedness, and upon ALL that is being hidden.

I do not believe, and I refuse to believe that YOU, O God, are silenced or that You are not at work.

YOUR WORD WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

TRUTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

…for Your Word is everlasting.
Men of power.
How many times in history have men (mere men) risen up against You, thinking they are more powerful than You and believing they can control the world? You...who are the Creator…yes, You created them and know their thoughts and even the hairs of their head. Father, they have been conscripted by Your enemy! They are being used. The enemy has sown such tares into Your field of wheat!

Do some of these people know they serve the enemy of the Most High God? I can only believe that is the case because they want to be god and they think they can be….which is a lie from the Father of Lies.

We see this scenario in Your Word:
From Genesis 11:
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name... 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Father, these incredibly powerful people believe they have already reached into heaven and become god. They believe they can control our speech. They believe they have the power to turn Truth on and turn off. They want to hide Truth because they have been party to deep corruption.

I call on You, my Lord and my God. As You did at Babel: Come down…I plead with You to come down. You have given this nation the Freedom of Speech. It has been taken away. Rise up, O God who is Truth and expose the enemy at his core and set Your people free.

Praise be to the God of Freedom! I throw off the heaviness that weighs me down like piles of wet blankets, stacked high on my spirit. OFF! Get OFF OF ME! You do not belong. You are trespassing— for I am a child of the Living God and I will not be cast down! Hallelujah!

The garment of praise is my covering and I will shout it to these mountains of power, for by the Spirit of the Living God, those mountains will be reduced a pile of rubble. Hallelujah!

UTTER DARKNESS:
Father, we are in the dark about what is going on. Communication is under the control of Your enemy who has brought certain men into place and given them this power.
Psalms 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Get up my soul and spirit. Rise up! For the Lord Your God is at hand. His Light, which shall NEVER be quenched! He will never run out of Light for He IS Light! He is at hand and I praise His glorious Name. Rise up, soul and spirit and praise the Most High God who reigns!

SUFFOCATION:
Father, it seems like their scheming is air-tight. It seems that oxygen is being sucked out and freedom is being suffocated. We need air. We gasp under this oppressive control. What little air we breathe has the stench of filthy motives, filthy power, and unconscionable actions. My eyes burn from the stench. Stand up for us O God, for we look to You alone.

Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me. You alone can tear down the cabal against this One Nation Under God. Bring us to our knees in repentance as we see the depth and breadth of our sin. Surely this heinous sin against the most vulnerable has reached to Your throne of heaven. The sins against children has been used for the profit of so many in every level of our government and our land.

O God, forgive me for not praying more fervently for them.

The proliferation of this deep, dark, and heinous sin has spread throughout this nation and beyond. It is piled so high that we cannot see over it. It has surely been the building blocks to heaven …as in Babel…these have been the bricks with which the rich and powerful have build their dynasty. They believe they have eternal dominion!

Rise up O God.
Expose what is going on in the dark that we may see with our own eyes what has been been taking place - right in front of us! Open our minds to realize that we are at war!

Redeem us from this stench. Make us look that we my fall to our knees in repentance. O that the sweet aroma of forgiveness may again rise up before You. Is this possible? I ask it. …You have been our Foundation. Rise up O God, for we cannot do this.
Zachariah 4: 6 This is the word of the LORD... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
God of freedom.
You have paid the price for our freedom. You paid it over and over again for Your chosen people of Israel. You brought them out of Egypt, from the enslavement by Pharaoh. Bring us out as well…I ask it.

Praise be to the God of Freedom! Praise be to the God who sees in the dark and who brings all things into the light! I will joy in the God of my Salvation for HE comes quickly to my rescue.

Spirit of the Living God…fall fresh on the United States…for Your sake. Rise up against Your enemy…that we may know that You are the Lord.

Hear my prayer for Your sake, for the sake of Your Son, Jesus, who is the Light of the World.

Election 2020: Shaken at our foundation... firmly standing in the gap

God of all comfort, and God of compassion, it is a privilege to come before You and stand before You on behalf of this nation. I come, here in the gap. Have mercy.

God of the invisible:
What a tumultuous time. Thank You that You are the God of the invisible. You know our thoughts as well as the intentions of our hearts…our motives.
Psalm 94:11
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Proverbs 21:2
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.
Indeed. You know us: as individuals and as a nation, You know all. Nothing is hidden from You.

You also know those who are cast aside; those who are ignored. those of us who seem invisible to those who are pushing our nation to the far, far left agenda. You know us.
Psalm 140:12
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.
The Tech Giants and mainline news media:
Father, You know that we are being censored on both sides. The “Tech Giants” have been given power to run this society. They prevent Truth from getting through to everyone - to serve their agenda. They silence and excommunicate those that oppose them with Truth. The promote and celebrate those that feed on evil intentions. …But You see it all.

Thank You that I can rest, knowing that You haven’t missed any detail. You are the Eternal Rock. Our foundation is not built on the shifting sand, but our Your sure foundation. Thank You.

The United States is on shifting sand. The Tech Giants are controlling our society - not just here in the U.S. but the world, as they have been given to power promote their agendas.

They hide the tapes that clearly show that Capital Police let members of Antifa and BLM into the Capital building and on the opposite side where the Trump Rally was gathered. The demonstrators were peaceful. Those that broke into the Capital were not part of them. They hide truth. They wield their power for their own agendas and have led many to direct all blame towards President Trump. They are being used too!

Is this similar to what we read in Daniel, Chapter 4? …where King Nebuchadnezzar was so proud of his kingdom? But in that moment where he honored himself, You took it away.
Daniel 4
30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
Wow….then You isolated him in a field and as he groped around as an animal — for seven years. Would You consider doing that to the Tech Giants? They are controlling people and have built a wall around this society to prevent us from seeing and hearing Truth.

But You had mercy on him and after seven years of humiliation …Your tough love!…You brought him back as a changed person:
Daniel 4:37
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Father, I ask for even seven days wherein the Tech Giants and the news media that hides the truth, be silenced. Please isolate these powerful people and break through their control. May their pride be humbled…that their souls acknowledge You! Have mercy on them and bring them down. They have made themselves gods and believe, like Nebuchadnezzar, that they have complete control of the world. Have mercy on us. Have mercy on them! For Your sake!

My God, my God, how long will You abandon us?

President Trump:
Father, I am tempted to be disappointed by some of the words spoken by President Trump to the crowd on January 6. What is behind his words regarding Vice President Pence? There seems to be much more to this. You know O God, because nothing is hidden from You. Were You disappointed? I stand in the gap for President Trump.

There is that matter of Bathsheba…where King David saw her and took what wasn’t his to take. I bet You were disappointed in him as well. You sent Nathan the prophet to shake him up and You took the child that came from his sin.
AND
There was the time when King David did not manage his household affairs and his son Absalom came against him. King David had to leave the palace. Were You disappointed? You sent Joab, the military leader to shake him up. There were consequences, but each time, King David repented. Each time You restored him…for Your purposes.

You shake people up so they may change. I ask no less from You today for You are the God who the same yesterday, today and forever. Please shake us all up.

Please have mercy on President Trump. Protect him, guide him, shake this nation to its core, but have mercy on us and restore him.

Those who have abandoned the President:
These people have been misled and many have been taught to hate. It is the mainline news and the Tech Giants that have done this.

So may people, who are not allowed access to the truth, are pouring out their discontent on President Trump. Will You shake them up as well? Even Mr. Trump’s most ardent followers have publicly abandoned him. God of all comfort, we need Your help. People have not had the opportunity to choose Truth because it has been hidden. Release it across our land that people may choose in knowledge.

Those who have abandoned the President have also abandoned this nation, and the cause of Truth. Are they looking to protect their future? Are they doing this to be self-serving? You know O God.

Please do not forsake the remnant who call upon Your Name.

Those who don’t want to know the Truth:
Father, why would those who have what they want desire to know Truth? They want Mr. Biden to be President and they must surely know that Ms. Harris will soon become our President …unless You intervene. That will bring this nation on a sure trajectory towards socialism and on to communism. But they believe that’s what they want.

Why would they avoid the Truth? BECAUSE if they know the Truth, they would have to be responsible for it!
Yet, how can people not know there are evil agendas behind the breaking apart of our nation? Open their eyes Lord. Strengthen them to desire Truth and invigorate their courage to pay the cost of freedom. We cannot do this in our own strength. Please do not abandon us.

How are we to respond?
Father, Lord and Holy Spirit, we so need Your guidance. I stand here in the gap.

We are to love people. Yet, there is tough love. Surely, those who know that You are God deserve Your tough love and perhaps we are receiving it now. Thank You for correction. Our job is to bring people to Your Word. Help us to keep our focus on what is important to You and what You have commanded us to do. Help us stay in our lane.

HOWEVER. Jesus! Lord and Savior! Redeemer! You dismantled the merchants that brought pollution into Your House of worship when they turned it into a place for their profitability! YOU THREW THEM OUT!

Please, please…isn’t this what is going on right now in every area of our nation? Please please, throw them out. Show us our place. Give us the words. Guide us in our thoughts and emotions so that You are not disappointed in us, but are pleased.

The cost of freedom is great! You came to set the captives free. You did it by giving Your Life for ours. The cost to keep this nation free has also been great. So many have given their lives. The price for the freedom of this nation has been so great. Help us O God that they did not die in vain. Do not abandon us who stand for Truth.

Please consider this tribute by President Ronald Reagan, to fallen soldiers who paid the price of freedom by giving thier lives. (2:03 minutes)

May we glory in You alone.

I bring my total, unreserved commitment to You, to Your Word, to the Living Word: Jesus Christ. As Your servant I come humbly and ask You to intervene in this nation. Please do not abandon us for we put our trust solely in You.

Election 2020: Be Still My Soul, I am determined

God of all mercy,
Praise be to Your Name. Glory and honor belong solely to You. You are the God of my Salvation and to You alone do I look. You are my Trust for You are Truth. Hallelujah!

Everywhere we turn, we see the forces of darkness on our nation. It seems that no one wants to know the truth. They do not want what is fair or what is right. Even professional friends and colleagues of President Trump abandon him. It seems that, with very few exceptions, he is mocked, scoffed at, blamed for any and everything. His friends sneer at him. This whom he helped, even those he helped get elected, they deride him to scorn.

Jesus, You understand all of that. The same was done to You. And for the joy set before You, You went to Your death, even death on the cross, our willing sacrifice …AND God, our Father, raised You up!

Truly, this doesn’t look so good. That’s okay! …because YOU look and see everything. Includeing the end game. As in creation, You declared it "good" ...that's Your thing. Whatever You do, it is "good." I put my trust in You alone. Thank You.

I am reminded of the Israelites at the Red Sea. Pharaoh pursued them, believing they were entangled in the wilderness with no way out. So it seems for President Trump.

Pharaoh brought all his horsemen, chariots, and army and overtook them! YIKES.

HOWEVER: the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD (Genesis 14:10). We’ve been doing that! But then they turned on Moses. …so many have turned on President Trump. I am so sorry.

HOWEVER: You responded through Moses:
Genesis 14:
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Well LORD God…all efforts seemed to have been exhausted at this point…

EXCEPT for You. I rest in You. I will stand still, so that we may boast only in You! Hallelujah!

I rejoice that this looks so bleak! You have not, will not, cannot abandon us, for You have always left a remnant and I am part of it! I raise the Ebenezer! The Rock! I ask You touch every one of Your faithful and fill each person with praise that so fills them that they break out in songs of praise!

I will not be defeated, for I come in the Name of the Lord who is Faithful and True: Truth and Righteousness! He fights for us! Amen and Amen!

Until You tell me otherwise I will continue to stand for the exposure of Truth and Righteousness for this nation. By Your hand, I will continue to proclaim that Christ is the Light of the World and Your Word beckons me to be salt. I ask You, God of my Salvation, to pour out Your Spirit on this nation. Bring on YOUR salvation! ...and may it also be followed by a baptism of repentance.

I will not abandon this cause of Truth and Righteousness. Draw me in - prepare me for the future of Your will. For I stand at the ready.

I claim Psalm 37! All 40 verses! Hallelujah!

Psalm 37
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Election 2020: Light

God of all living, Creator and Giver of Life.
Jesus, Your words: "I am the way , the truth and the life." Thank You.

God of my heart, In You I put my trust. Hold captive my mind and emotions that my spirit is in tune with Your Spirit. May all that I am please You and serve Your causes. As You taught us Jesus, “Not my will, but Yours.” I bend my knee, now.

You are Light! Shed Your light within me! …and within each member of Your church. Pour out Your Spirit for such a time as this - that we find ourselves. You are Light!
1 John 1:5-7
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Thank You for Your Word and that we can, without hesitation, know that it is True and will stand. Shed Your light fully within each of us that we may be Your light to the world as You commanded us to do!
Matthew 5:14-16
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
WOW! Your Light through us! Father, we have hidden Your light under a bushel. We have hidden under the bushel ourselves. Forgive us and give us strength to crawl out from our hiding places and seek the candlestick. May we pour our hearts into the good works that glorify You!

Father, we can’t do this in our own strength. Guide us in Your strength. I want to be Your light. Please shine forth through me. Please spread Your Light in others who are Yours, that together we may be the Light to the world as You intended.

Please make us aware of Your light within us! May we enjoy Your Light!

Am I afraid of what Your light might reveal? Are others? Do we have those “skeletons” in our closets that need to be thrown out? Have we turned everything in our lives over to You …except the tiny key to the little room with our darkest secrets? Help us Holy Spirit —to come clean. Completely clean. And open the floodgates that Your Light may shine forth without hinderance.

Establish a pure heart in all of us who call You Lord, and who serve You as the Most High God. Remove every detail and crumb that hinders Your work, Your Light, Your Spirit from having free reign within our lives: our hearts, minds, and actions. I ask You to be our framework for our living without compromise. Establish us on the Rock! Hallelujah!

SELAH

A lighthouse! Your church! A lighthouse during the storms we find ourselves in: in our minds, in our families; in our neighborhoods, in our communities, in our towns and cities, in our states and in our nation: The United States of America: One Nation Under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I seek You O God, hear my prayer.
