Lord Jesus, Savior and Redeemer,
Holy Spirit, Guide and Teacher,
You are Omniscient. You know all things.
You are Omnipotent. You are all powerful.
You are Omnipresent. You are everywhere.
That’s why You tell us not to worry. Because no matter how hard it seems, no matter how difficult the situation, You are greater. You are able to bring good out of it. You are a lover of Truth. You cannot lie.
Thank You for Your Word that reassures me of this things. You have given me Your Word. It is precious to me. You are my greatest reassure. You are the lover of my soul. You love me more than I can possibly love myself. I bow in unspeakable gratitude.
The enemy pushes in
O God, my God…the enemy has secured the help of millions and millions of people to do his bidding. It feels like all the plagues of Egypt are being poured out at once upon this nation.
Let my people go (Exodus 7:8-12)
This nation is not unlike Your people in Egypt who wanted to worship You freely We are Your people. We want to worship You freely. Those running the government see us as the enemy of this nation. They come at us with a vengeance.
Moses’ staff turned into a snake. The Egyptian magicians could do that. Yes, there seems to be snakes everywhere here. 2-legged asps…spreading their verbal venom all day, every day. Denying truth and pushing their narrative with arrogant, audacious veracity. They are unrelenting. They proliferate.
Plague of Blood (Exodus 7:14-25)
The water turned to blood. The Egyptians dug wells to find new water and turn that into blood. Here too, the streets are turned to blood as one shooting after another kills someone. People with families, loved ones. people who are frustrated and coerced, school children, innocent bystanders, our police men and women…
You know them all. Please comfort their loved ones— especially the children. Please bring a spirit of reason to this land.
Plague of Frogs (Exodus 8:1-15)
Frogs came out of the river. They were everywhere. Out of the river of blood…the media has turned itself into a river of blood and their words, like the frogs have permeated every area of our lives. The media here has taken over as the prince of the "power of the air.” Our enemy - Satan is permeating every room of this nation.
Ephesians 2:2O God have mercy on those who have blindly followed after lies. And raise up the Voice of Truth.
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
Plague of Lice (Exodus 8:16-19)
Plague of Flies (Exodus 8:20-32)
Aaron stuck his staff and lice came like the dust of the earth. Now the Egyptian magicians declared it was from You. They could not duplicate it. Bring forth Truth as the dust! Please combat these lies with Truths beyond counting.
Flies in the land of the Egyptians. But the land of Goshen…was clean. Pharaoh was getting the idea. He said they could go…but changed his mind. The people being used by Your enemy are not going to give up. Help Lord.
Father, for every bit of Truth that is brought forth, it is swiftly covered by heaps of lies. Lice. Lies like dust - from You. Could Your countless lice consume the countless lies? They can. Truth always rises - because it has the magnetic attraction to YOU. Praise God. Evil always falls away - because it is repelled by Your goodness, Your love and care, as well as Your justice.
Plague of Pestilence (Exodus 9:1-7)
Your hand was against the cattle - all cattle of the Egyptians: horses, donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep. It was previous. BUT it did not tough the cattle of the Israelites. This was their wealth! This was their food! The enemy threatens our livelihoods - simply because we want to worship You.
They cannot stand it and have proclaimed us to be the enemy.
Rise up O God - may their devices come against them, their livelihoods, their families. May their lies be like gravel in their mouth. ALL that they may know that You are God and bow before You. Have mercy on them.
Plague of Boils (Exodus 9:8-12)
WOW…You got really personal here! Boils on all the people and on the beasts that weren’t killed by the last pestilence. Is the C19 being used somehow? Please hear my prayer… You have the capacity to get people’s attention. With increasing pressure, You pressured these people to know You are God - while protecting the Israelites. Please pressure them and protect us.
Plague of Hail (Exodus 9:13-35)
Plague of Locusts (Exodus 10:1-20)
These are at Your beck and call. You control the weather and all the creatures, You reserved free will for humans alone.
The hail was unlike anything they had experienced. It was mixed with fire! But it was outside their homes. And Your people were spared and all that were brought in. Please bring us inside before the wrath to appease Your justice begins.
The Locusts ate everything! Now, finally, Pharaoh would allow only the men leave…yet their crops were destroyed by everything that wasn’t destroyed by the hail.
Rise up O God that we may proclaim Your work, Your salvation.
Plague of Darkness (Exodus 10:21-29)
And the darkness…darkness that could be felt. The darkness lasted for three days...You are Light.
I fall at Your feet and say, "Help Lord. Have mercy on us. Bring the Light.”
All this, and still Pharaoh refused. Finally, You had no other choice.
The Plague on the Firstborn (Exodus 11, 12:1-30)
You took the children; the firstborn of their offspring. Even of the cattle. You took their firstborn, yet You later gave Your firstborn. And after He descended into darkness for three days, He returned and brought with Him, Light.
John 3:16God of heaven, this nation is in darkness…the darkness can be felt. It is so thick. The nation lies in ruins. Please, O God, bring us out of the darkness and into Your Light. Restore our identity as One Nation Under God. Bring us out of this bondage; out of the darkness that pervades our thinking.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 Corinthians 15:4
“And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
Please, O God, save the children. Especially for their sake.
Maranatha.
