Furnace prayers: ...before a jealous God: SCOTUS

Almighty God, Author and finisher of my faith,

You are a jealous God. Your Word says so:

Exodus 20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Exodus 34:14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

And You are unchanging. I cannot help but consider Malachi 3:

Malachi 3:
v2-3: But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

v5-6: 5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

You are a jealous God who brings judgement. As our Creator, You surely have the right to take what is rightly Yours. You are righteous and You alone have the power to judge rightly. You are all knowing and see the iniquity that proliferates here on this earth. You are the refiner’s fire that purifies.

This nation has surely provoked Your judgment. Surely, only Your mercy keeps Your judgement from devouring us all. Your refiner’s fire can surely consume us as it did Sodom and Gomorrah.

When You see what we have done, does Your jealousy rise up from within? I’m counting on it!

• — What about the treatment and abuse of children as evidenced through pornography?
• — What about the treatment of marriage and changing the foundation and definition of family?
• — What about eliminating prayer from school - thereby teaching children You do not exist?
• — What about all the lies that have been exalted as truth?
• — What about the ripping up of the U.S. Constitution, destroying the very fabric of this nation?
• — What about the “Cancel Culture” that seeks to cancel You out of our society?

O jealous God…ARE YOU NOT JEALOUS? Is not Your jealousy kindled? Does Your heart weep and cry out for justice…especially where the children are concerned?

We are weak. We have demonstrated that we are a miserable lot. Many have succumbed to the “woke" pressure and have become slaves. You know O God. For villainous men and women have ensnared many others through heinous acts.

Please intervene as our “Supreme Court” weighs in on this nation and the world.

You are able to expose what is going on. Please expose and free the children. Please expose the lies that cover-up the carnage. Surely, this nation cannot raise a sweet aroma to You. Please expose the work that has stolen that with is precious to You and please incite our hearts to clean it up.

I petition You. I petition Your jealous heart, to have mercy.
How long must we wait?

i come, indeed, I come in awe, falling before You. Your power is withheld only by Your compassion. Prepare us to do this work. Put a fire within Your church to confess and repent, that we may take back this nation and stand honorably before You.

For the sake of all the nations who see the U.S. as bearing Your Name: One Nation Under God.
For the sake of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
