Pastors, overwhelmed, the Body of Christ (Psalm 69)

My God,my God, the enemy, Your enemy who hates us is unrelenting in his frevor to take us down. I appeal to You.

You are the God who saves. You are the omnipresent One who knows the whole situation in the attack against pastors, their church, and all of us who call You Lord. I appeal to You for the attacks are fierce.

You enemy divided the heavenly host. He is a master of division. But You, O God both divide and unify. You divided the Red Sea...transforming it into a pathway to safety. And You reunified it, to bring destruction against the enemy of Your people.

He is cunning in his devices, but You O God, move with wisdom, justice, and power that puts him to shame. He comes against us becuase we worship You. He thinks to harm You by harming us. But You O God, hear the prayers of Your people.

We are the Body of Chirst. Through His sacrifice, we come. Not on any merit of our own, but through the reception of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Hear my prayer. Raise up Your church to oppose the evil that pervades our land.

We are sinking in the deep mire. There is no solid ground for our feet. We are exhausted. The deep waters threaten us, the floods seek to sweep us under where there is no breath.

THe wiles of the enemy seek to overcome us. They seek us from every angle, and they come, knowing their time is short. They hate us because we are Yours. They attack us knowing we will live forever with You. THey resent that our standing before You is through Christ and they are pitifully impotent.

THey believe they are mighty. THey believe they can destroy. They lead us into temptation and push all our sin into our minds. They validly accuse us of our sin. BUT, we come to You through the blood of Jesus Christ. We come, our sin covered and forgiven. We come grateful for You O God are our salvation and through Christ, our salvation is sure.

We come. Lead us before Your thoune of grace! Compell us to repent of our sin and find grace to help in time of need. Review, for each of us, our hearts and minds and our sins, that we may come boldly before You and confess all that is between us. Restore to us the joy of our salvation, for we are overwhelmed.

In Your care and love for us, restore the tenderness between each heart. Let us again, in the spirit, know that You are with us. Your mercy extends beyond our sin. Your Word clearly articulates what we are to do. Open our eyes to see the path. Open our hearts and fortify us for the relationships that You desire. Strengthen our resolve.

Deliver us out of the mire that we may not isnk. Deliver us from Your enemy who hates us and seeks to drown us in the deep waters. Speak the word that will stop the waterflood from overflowing us. By Your hand, O God, we will not be swallowed up. We will not sink into the pit.

You are the Maker of lovingkindness! Your tender mercies create a pool of righteousness. Hide not Your face from us. Hear this prayer speedily, draw us close to You and deliver us for Jesus' sake.

Jesus, you suffered reproach, shame, and complete poverty for our sakes. You accomplished all that needs to be accomplished. You said, "It is finished." Bring this reality to the present in our lives, our hearts, and our communion with You and with each other.

The heaviness seeks to crush us. Yet, Jesus, who is Christ, You were crushed on our behalf. You conqueered Your enemy forever. Invigorate us with these truths.

Let the wiles of the enemy turn back upon them. Let them be caught in their own snares. O God, let every trap set for Your beleoved, be the very trap they are caught in. Blind them that they may not find their way out. Bind them tightly and frustrate every attempt to get free. O God, hear my prayer.

Pour out Your indignation upon them. Encumber them with Your wrath and anger. Take hold of them and crush their desire to come against us. Hear my prayer and rise up O God who love those who have turned to You for salvation.

We were poor in spirit, brought to destruction becuase of our sin. But we turned to You and You lifted us up. You brought us before Your throne of grace and You gave life through Your Spirit. You made us Your own. Hear my prayer.

I write to You in the righteousness of Christ. I have nothing of my own to bring. But I come through Christ. I come humble of heart. I know I have nothing to offer You that is of my own accord. But I know that through Christ, all things are possible.

I appeal to You O God. I appeal to You because of Christ.

You are the God of our salvation,
Set us on high that we may praise Your Name with song.
Raise us up to magnify Your Name with thanksgiving.

I come humbly. I seek You.

Make our hearts glad for it is You I seek.

God who hears the prayers of the poor and who came to set the captives free, open up the heavens and rain down Your goodness upon Your people. Raise up praise and hearts of worship before You. Bring us to the place of Your good pleasure; for You alone are God.

To You alone I bring my petition for pastors, churches, and all who are of the Body of Christ.

Maranatha!

O God of the Ages, God of all Creation, God who has always been, who is, and who always will be...

Arise O God, that Your enemies are scattered...Your very presence scatters the enemy. Those who hate You quickly flee in terror. Arise O God.

Blessed be Adonai!

O God, summon Your strength ad loose it over the earth. Hear my cry for Your righteousness. Bring forth the New Jerusalem that we may all bring our tribute before Your throne.

I will sing to the God over all the kingdoms of the earth!

A shout to God who does glorious things (Psalm 66)

I will shout to God. All the earth shouts to God.
The earth sings glory to His Name.
His Name is glorious.

O God, Your deeds are awesome.
Your power causes Your enemies to cringe.
All the earth bows down to You. All the earth sings praises to You.
All the earth sings praises to Your Name.

Ome all, come! Come see what God has done.
His awesome dealings with manking.
He turned the sea into dry land so they could pass through the river on foot.

With His power he rules forever!
His eyes keep watch on the nations.
No rebel will ever rise that can challenge Him.
(Selah)

Bless our Go, o ye peoples!
Let the sound of His praise be heard!
He preserves our lives.
He jkeeps our feet from stumbling.

You are the God who has tested us.
You have refined us as silver is refined.
You brought us into the net and bound our bodies.
You made men who brought us down.
We have gone through fire and water, but You, O God, brought us out to a place of plenty.

I will come into your house with an offering of my heart.
I deeply desire to do Your will and bring all You have for me back to You.

Listen all ye people. Come close, all that fear God. I cried out to God from my innermost being. With my mouth, I brought praise before His throne. His praise was on my tongue.

Had I contemplated evil, He would not have listened.
But in fact, He did listen. He heard my prayer and padi attention to my call. Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, or turn His face before me.

Maranatha!

Prayer of a Prisoner of War (POW) (Daniel 9)

Prayer of a Prisoner of War (POW) (Daniel 9)

O God of Your Word. You have preerved Your Word over the centures; You have maintained Your everlasting presence through Your Word and demonstrated that You are God:

• You have foretold the future with detailed accuracy.
• Your Word has never been wrong.
• Every "jot and tittle" has come through without fail.
• You have demonstrated Your relevance through Your Word.
• You have given us Your Son, the Living Word.
• You are the God who keeps His Covenant.

Praise be to God on High, the One, True and Living God.

Your children, who have received Your gift of salvation, the Body of Christ, we seek You on behalf of this nation. The U.S.A. We are neither united or stately. We have transgressed against You with a great spirit of rebellion and done so with vigor.

You are a great ad fearsome God. You keep Your covenant and Your grace extends to those who love You. We strive to be obedient, but we are unsuccessful.

We have sinned, engaed in wicked actions. We have rebelled ad trued away from Your Word. We have turned away from the Living Word - from Jesus, who is Christ.

We have closed the Book of Your Word. We are not listening to truth or even have any interest in Truth. Jesus is Truth. We have no interest, and we vehemently turn away.

We have shut down every person who has spoken Truth to our leaders.

To You, O God, belong righteousness and we stand in shame because we broke faith with You. We do not listen to Your voice. We intentionally close our ears. We are unwilling to listen to Your voice, which You have made clear and available.

It is right that Your judgemet and wrath be poured out upon us, for we have sinned against You.

Your Word foretells of Your wrath so great that all under heaven will be destroyed. Have mercy on us. Build Your testimony. Save those who trust in You.

Not for our sakes do I ask this. I ask for YOUR sake. I ask that You have mercy because You are a God of mercy, who wants every person and every nation to beleive and be saved.

Raise up Your testiony ...that they may know that You, You alone, are God.

Maranatha!

A shout to the Lord (Psalm 65)

You are the God of all creation. Your magnificence overwhelms me to silence. I see to fulfill my allegiance, my devotion to You alone. You listen to my prayers, my mumblings, my feeble worship. You listen to all that is on the earth, even as the creation itself rises in song.

When wickedness overwhelms me, You are there. You have atoned for my sin and I am righteous through the blood of Christ.

How blessed are those You choose and bring near. You bring me near. We cannot be Intentional time with You is contentment for the soul and spirit. Your goodness pours over me. Holy, holy, holy is Your presence.

Your deeds, Your actions are all around. You have not remained hidden. Your awesome deeds are all around. Your salvation is clear. You are declared the God of Salvation - to the ends of the earth and through all distant sees - You are God.

By Your strength, You set up the mountains, the valleys, the seas...all proclaim Your power.

You bring peace to the roaring of the seas, their crashing waves, and Your peace extends to all who look to You. We stand in awe of Your signs. All the earth sings of Your power, Your faithfulness, and we can sing for joy with the creation.

You water the earth and care for it. You care for those who look to You and enrich us with the river of God. You provide all that is needed for our provision. You are the Bread of Life and the Living Water.

I plead my case before a righteous God (Psalm 64)

I plead my case before You, for You are a righteous God.

Hear my voice, for I shudder with the pain in my heart. I plead from the depths within me for I am under the attack of Your enemy who hates You. And he hates me. Save me, preserve my life from the fear that is poured out.

Hide me from the secret devices of the wicked all around. The insurrection of evildoers permeates all the space and there is no way to breathe. They sharpen their tongue an spew out death to all who want to serve you. Their words are like swords. They aim their arrows with their poisoned words.

Help Lord, for Your servant pleads before You.

They shoot at the innocent, suddenly and fearfully. They fear nothing because, in their arrogance, they are do not acknowledge You. Together they find ways to divert good. Their snares for the righteous leave no room for stepping.

They think You do not see them –they even lie to themselves. They search to complete their evil desires as they conjur them up in their minds. The dept of their heart is putrid and there is not place for light.

You are God. Suddenly, You will shoot them down. Your arrows leave them wounded. Their own tongues make them to stumble. All who see them will shake their head with in disgust.

Move quickly O God, that eveyone may know that You are God and You are at work.

Move quickly O God, and show all who look...that they may understand that You are at work.

Let us rejoice in You as we take refuge in the safety of Your presence.
I lift Your Name on high, for You alone are worthy to be exalted.
Praise is for You alone.

Hear my feeble prayer, O God who hears. I plead before You.

Maranatha!

Searching for God in the Desert (Psalm 63)

Oh God who sees me in the desert,

It is dark, cold, then hot. The winds blow sand in my thinking. It is never quiet, because the the accusations of the enemy presses in my mind against my heart and soul.

I seek You eagerly. My heart thirsts for the Living Water. My body longs for the Bread of Life.

This land is spiritually parched. It is exhausted and void of light. Death creeps into every crevass and the putrid smell of evil saturates everything.

Yet it cannot touch the majesty and brilliance of You, the One True Living God. Your power and glory cannot be dulled. Although the enemy seems big to me, he pales before You. He is dull and weak. He cannot even consider Your power. He is like a ant before the anteater. He is like a frog before the alligator. Truly, he is miniscule and he disolves before the Name of Jesus. Hallelujah.

I will contemplate You in the sanctuary of prayer, seeing Your glory and Your power...it is magnificent. You O God of the Living, of all the earth, Your grace is better than life.

• You are life. Your enmey is death.
• You are gracious. Your enemy hungers.
• You are omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Your enemy is insufficient and restricted.
• You are wisdom complete. Your enemy is so full of pride, he is doomed to destruction.

Now: whom shall I fear?

I will worship You, O God. All the day long, will I praise You for Your glory has not end. You cannot be minimized. Your love and care, Your provision is complete. Truly, it was complete before creation and will remain coplete forever.

Yes, I will bless You as long as I have breath. I will lift my hands in praise and lfit Your Name on high. For You are the Most High God and there is none like You.

You alone can satisfy. You alone bring living water and bread of life because You ARE the Living Water and You ARE the Bread of LIfe.

You are profound joy, I bow my head to receive Your grace. I meditate on Your goodness day and night and it sustains me, even here in the desert.

O God, You have been my help. You have placed me under the shadow of Your wings. Here I rejoice in God my Savior. Here, Your right arm upholds me and Your right hand support me. I will no fall For You are my support.

Your enemy, who seeks to destroy me will go down to the pit prepared for him. He will receive Your recompense for all the evil he has wrought. He will be silenced forever and You, O God will be exalted.

Jesus Christ is the One True Christ. Glory be the Lord of lords, King of kings, and Name above ALL names.

Maranatha!

Waiting in silence for God alone (Psalm 62)

O God who sees the lonely, the hurting, the abandoned, see me.

My salvation comes from You and You alone and to thee I pray. You are my Rock, my salvation; You are my stronghold, what can man do to me?

Ho long, O Lord will You allow the decrepit wickedness of the world to continue? Your followers, who look longingly to You see Your flock as a sagging wall and a shaky fence...they lie in wait for our destruction.

They want to shake us. They take to lying and delight in the lies that bring destruction. They are heinous in their manners as they bless with their mouths and curse behind the back. Then they bring people into public forum and make a spectacle of them that others, who see the evil, will be silent.

My soul waits in silence for God alone, and becuse my hope comes from Him, He will answer me. He will not leave me alone. He will not leave me without comfort. The One True living God is is my stronghold and I will not be moved.

Uphold us to trust in Him. Gather Your people to trust in Him at all times. By Your Spirit, let our hearts overflow as we pour out our heart before Him. He is our refuge.

Seal us to trust in You alone. Let us not allow our eyes to look to those in the world who hold earthly power or those who are deemed important, They are merely a sham, and laid in the balance-scale, they go up as lighter than nothing.

Harden us, Your true believers, that we not wary from putting our trust in extortion, or the false hope of robbery. Let us not move to set our hearts on wealth, but work fervently for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

O God, You have spoken. Strength belongs to You. You are the God of grace. In the end, You will see that all receive their due reward –as their deeds deserve. Maranatha!

A warning to leaders (Psalm 58)

God of gods, King of kings, Lord of lords,

Just as You said it would, the world is turning to evil. Just as Your Word documented, when leaders of a nation turn from You, the whole nation follows. ...yet, You always hold back a remnant. Thank You.

Many rulers openly speak out against justice! Over the years, those who would follow You have been silent and evil has prevailed. Have mercy.

I ask, O GodL "In their hearts and minds, do they intentionally devise wickedness? Do they know their judgements mock You?"

O God, they dispense violence with glee. They want war. They desire to tear down government, religion, and the economy and build exactly what You said: A one world government, religion and economy to take back the earth.

You told us this would happen so we would not need to be afraid. You also told us to occupy until You come. The persecution grows. Laws are crushing the citizens and the church.

As the church endures persecution, establish Your pastors who preach the whole council of Your Word. Give them voice, give them messages beyond their preparation. Under persecution, grow Your church. Reveal to the masses that this persecution will expose the evil –that many come to salvation through Christ.

The wicked rise up. They devise schools and training to ensnare others into their wickedness. They have been on the wrong path since birth. Their venom is poison and they stop their ears so Truth cannot prevail.

Your Word is Truth. It is pure. It is Life. Yet, they insist on their own desires; they will not consider facts; they detest Truth, they hate Life, and purity is anathama to them. They hate You and devise ways to persecute those who put their faith in You.

In the end, they will not prevail. You will shatter their teeth in their mouths. Yes, in the end, they will vanish like water that drains away. Their arrows will be blunted; they will be like a slug that melts as it moves. They will be like a stillborn child, even though they think they will create their own version of humanity. Their "human 2.0" will be as dust in the wind.

O God, show mercy on those under persecution. Uphold them. Still the pain from their persecutors. Strenthen their resolve to be faithful to the end. In their hearts and minds, raise up the knowledge that You are the Living God and You will uphold them and see them through.

As persecution continues and spreads; as the wicked devise evil schemes to torment those who live for You; O God, touch those under seige, under physical torment, under mental and emotional pressure from the lies of Your enemy. Touch them with the strength of Your right arm. Touch their minds to know they are pleasing You and their end is already established. You will bring them through and Your reward is sure. It is everlasting. You will prevail.

You are the Judge of the earth. Righteousness will be established. Your Word is from everlasting to everlasting.

I put my hope in You alone. Maranatha!

Resting in peace and safety (Psalm 57)

Oh God of Life, God of the Living, be exalted about the heavens. Glory to the God of Life. Glory to the Son who is the Way, the truth, the Life. Glory to the Holy Spirit who reveals to each the reality of Your existence, such that all are without excuse.

You are refuge for those who hide in You. I hide in You. Under the shadow of Your wings I sit in the peace and safety of Your care as the storms rage here on the earth. Thank You.

I call upon You, The MOST High God. You are accomplishing Your purpose for me! You have put everything in place and, each day, You lead me through troubled waters, through pleasant fields, through mine-fields that the enemy has set for me. But You are there and You are faithful.

You will send from heaven and save me as those who would trample me down take place to mock me. You see them. You have prepared a place of refuge for me.

Jesus, You have promeised that You go before me and that You will return to take me from here to the place You have prepared for me. Yes, I rest in peace as the world is in tumult.

You send Your grace and truth each day. You fill me up. You sustain me in confidence.

We are surrounded by lions; people who lie in wait to destroy us. They breathe fire, their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongue is like a two-edged sword and they incite doubt, division, and fear.

But God. MY God, causes me to dwell in peace and safety and promises that they sudden destruction will come to those who have lifted themselves as gods.

Be exalted O God, be exalted above the heavens. Fill the earth with Your glory. Do not delay for the enemy is stealthily making swift moves to remove those who put their trust in You.

Tey prepared snares for our feet, they have dug pits on the path. Cause them to fall into their own snares and pits, O God. Raise Yourself up on our behalf! Raise us up on Your behalf!

You are faithful and my trust is in You alone. All the day long, I sing Your praise and make music to raise the Name of Jesus before those who hate me. Rise up, my Jesus, rise up on my behalf. Sing a song from heaven over my life and fill me with the words that encourage.

Sing a song over me that brings Your majest through my lips to those who would hear that YOU are the way of salvation. You have paid the eternal price for sin to all who would hear Your call.

Call them loudly! Those who would be in my path and open my mouth with the Word of Life! Fill me with Truth! Pour Yourself out through this life that others may know You. Bring Your song among the nations!

Awaken Your standing army - the Body of Christ! YOUR Body. Raise us up with song and words of Life. Grant us urgency and fill us with Your everlasting joy that overflows from us with a great surge of the Gospel. Oh use us to bring in the harvest. ...and that we may be faithful to Your commission to make disciples.

Use us. Pour out Your music through us. Play us as an instrument - Your lute, Your lyre, Your tambourine, Your voice. Bring us forth as a mighty orchestra that proclaims the Gospel: JESUS SAVES! Hallelujah!

Your grace is great - yes, all the way to heaven.
Your truth is sure - all the way to the skies and beyond.

Be exalted O God, above the heaven! May we proclaim Your glory over all the earth!
Amen!

Maranatha!

No fear, trusting in God's Word (Psalm 56)

O God, who shows favor to those who trust in You.

The enemy has taken over the minds of the nation. There is no logic, no reasoning with them. They seek to trample down everything that represents You.

I am so sorry that I was sleeping and didn bring this before You. Forgive us who have not been on the lookout.

The fight is on and the eneimeis of the Kingdom of Christ move swiftly. They lie in wait all the day long, they are many. Hear my petition O God who shows favor; for I put my trust in You alone.

Most High God, when I am afraid, I put my trust in You. I praise Your Word, I praise Jesus, HE is the Living Word. Hallelujah. Fear has no grip on me.

In You I trust, what can humans do to me?

All day long they twist my words and put lies in my mouth that were not. Their only thought is to harm me and bring destruction. They want to weaken me and kick me down and then scoff at me to others that fear may spread.

Truly, they want to kill me. They plot together all the day long. They dash out and strike me down and then hide themselves. But You are there. You know. And they cannot hide from You or Your wrath.

Nothing escapes their attempts to kill me as they spy on my every movemetn. But YOU, Adonai, God who hears and sees, YOU see their every movement!

Because of their crimes, they cannot escape; O God, rise up in Your anger and strike them down. Srike them from me.

You are the God who shows favor to those who trust in You. I trust in You.

You have kept count of my wanderings, You store the cries of my heart and You store my tears in Your bottole. All that I have done, it is written in Your books. You know all of me. Have mercy.

When my enemies see Your mercy in my, they will turn back. I call on You and on the day that You answer me, they will be aghast; because they will know that You are the Lord and that I am Yours.

I give You thanks for You rescue me from death. You gave Your Son in payment for my sins. Thank You Adonai, thank You Jesus, Thank You Spirit.

You keep my feet from stumbling and bring me into Your presence.
You are Light. You are LIfe.

In You I trust. Maranatha!

Under seige, Psalm 55

Lord God Most High,

You are the God who listens and hears. You hear deeply. You go past the words and to the hearts and minds of those who seek You. You are the God who reveals Himself and does not hide. Hear my plea!

Answer me, O God who is merciful.

Panic surrounds this nation. The enemy shouts loudly, the wicked oppress and trouble is heaped on trouble and they angerly torment us... And Your people shudder.

Our hearts pound within us. Anguish surrounds us. The terroro fo death press down on us because we are Your people. Fear and trembling overwhel us and horror permeats every cell.

Oh that we had wings like a dove and could fly away and find rest.

You, O God are our rest. You protect us from the raging wind and storm. You are our Stong Tower.

God of mercy and grace, confuse and confound the speech of the wicked. Their violence and fighting continue in the cities, O GOD, it continues in their hearts and it overwhelms Your people. Day and night the eneimies of Your people move swiftly to bring malice and mischief. THey bring ruin and oppression. Fraud is everywhere!

Division threatens every good thing.

• Family member against family member
• Teachers against parents
• Racial division
• Political division
• Gender and marriage
• Rich and poor
• Global and national allegiance

Indeed, it is the enemy who has brought insult and swayed and defrauded this nation. We should have expected this from the adversary and been proactive. We didn't.

Our friends have turned from us. Companions defy us. Even church friends are deceiptful. We used to be friends. We used to be neighbors. Now we embrace division. Forgive us.

Bring them back us! Let us refrain from division! Let us come together in the Spirit for the sake of Jesus' salvation that waits for us, pleading that we find Him and receive His gift of salvation.

O God, for those who will never change; please take them out. I call on You to save us.

Every day, all day I complain to You and moan. I know You hear me. Thank You. You redeem me and You give me peace. You hear and humble those who fought me.

Grant us discernment when their words sound smooth as butter, but their hearts are at war. Grant thouse who would follow you to find Your sustenance. Do not permit us to be moved, for we come in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Bring down Your enemy O Lord, Down to the deepest pit. Cause those who are bloodthirsty and treacherous and who will not bend their knee now, to be removed.

I come. Your child. Hear my prayer.

Maranatha!

Betrayal at every turn. Psalm 54

Deliverer of Your people! God of all presence. God who misses nothing that happens on Your people, Your creation.

You are a consumate God. You encompass all knowledge. You know all that is from before there was creation, YOU were there. You have always been there and You will always be. Nothing escapes You...nothing.

You are in every particle of the creation You brought forth. All that we know encompases You. You are not "miss-able." We cannot miss You! You have been proclaimed in every particle that exists. You are moe than we can comprehend. You alone are God.

You are God and You deliver for Your Name's sake. Your power cannot be exhausted: You vindicate those who come in faith and fall upon Your mercy. Praise be to Your Name.

Hear my prayer, for foreigners rise against me. Violence is on every side and they seek the life of those who follow Yeshua. They do not believe You see. But I know differently.

(Selah)

You are the God who helps me when I call. I'm calling.
You are the God who supports me in each trial. ...the trials are upon me.

You see those who are clearly pushing evil; those who lie in wait. They secretely hide in their treachery and blame their evil deeds on those who love You.

In Your faithfulness You destroy them! Thank You that You have taken hold of vengeance, made it Your own, and You exercise it in beauty and love for those who look to You in faith. I'm looking.

O God who destroys evil, I call upon You for evil surrounds me on every side. I put my trust in You.

I sacrifece the desires of my heart and submit to Your will. You, O God reign in my heart, soul, mind, and spirit. Hear my call. Hear my cry. Only You can save.

Praise be to Your Name. Adonai.

• Your Name is good.
• You alone are worthy to be praised.
• You rescue me from trouble.

My eyes are on You and You alone.
You will triumph!

I raise my Hallelujah to You: the One True and Living God.

Maranatha!

Evil prevails, will they learn? (Psalm 53)

One True and Living God,
How wonderful to come before Your presence.
You encourage me to do so, because Your care for me is whole, full, and nothing about me escapes Your protection.

• Thank You for Your care;
• Your interest;
• Your attention to the actions going on in the world.

You do attend to everything said, and even every thought. People's actions do not escape You for have known these things since the creation.

So many people are clustered together. They tell themselves and they tell each other "There is no God."

They are depraved. Their deeds are vile and no one does what is good.

You know O God. You look out from heaven and You see all of us. Are there any in the human race that is wise? Are all corrupt?

Lord God, will the doers of God ever learn? They devour Your people and think they are great. They never call upon You. They deny You exist and they have become ther own gods. They trust in themselves.

Their future will come quickly when they are gripped with terror. They are not afraid now, but when You show them that You ARE the Lord, they will be gripped with terror. You will scatter their bones. Their end is in Your hands. You will besiege them and You will put them to shame. They will not escape for You have rejected them.

If only salvation through Christ would come into their hearts.
You, O God, will restore Israel. They will know that You are God and we will celebrate.

Yeshua, You are our salvation and in You we put our hope. In You is gladness.

Maranatha!

Betrayed, Psalm 52

Betrayed, Psalm 52 Oh God, Righteous God, Purveyor of grace, mercy, and vengence.

Hear my prayer, as the evil in the world rises up. They boast of their vanity. They call themselves the "elite" ...but YOU, God of the Ages, YOU alone are significant. You alone are the Creater and You alone control the world.

Did kings go to battle without Your knowledge? Was Nebuchanezzer Your servant? Did You proclaim the destruction of Tyre, Egypt, Lebanon?

Were You the God who sent Israel into judgement in Babylon for 70 years? And did You send Joseph ahead, as a slave, into Egypt, that all Israel would be saved?

You are God. There is none beside You. All nations will be jduged by You. All people will bend the kneww before Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, and to whom You have given all power.

Your mercy is present every day to those who put their faith in You. There is no reason for the evil one and those who serve him to boast in their evil or enjly their power, for You O God, laugh at their folly.

THeir tongue is as sharp as a razor. They plot destruction and work deception every day. In their arrogance, they believe they can control the world: the climate, the crops, the food supply, and finance.

O God, they have made up their own religion of "climate change" and they are desicrating the food supply world wide to get rid of those whom You have brought forth. They even want to reform those You have made in Your image into "Human 2.0."

They love evil and control more than good. They lie in every word they say. They love to demolish people and subdue them, and take their dignity as they torment them mentally, emotionally, and fill them with fear.

Strike them down O GOd. Sieze them and pluck them from the earth. Uproot them from the land of the living.

Will You do this publically, that the righteous can see and rejoice. They trust in their own wealth and steal from You and those who follow You. Have mercy O God and do not tarry.

Place us in the house of our God. We put our trust in You. Let our praise rise up as a generous, fulfilling and satisfying gift before Your throne.

We put our hope in You. In Your Name, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Have mercy on Your faithful this day.

Maranatha!

Prayer for world leaders (Psalm 51)

God of grace, full of mercy, full of compassion.
All sin is against You alone. Have mercy on leadership that strives to follow Your ordinances.

Crimes are great. Consequences are ubiquitous.

Will You consider washing away the guilt which permeates the land? Will You cleanse the land from the evil that prevails? Do the leaders know their sin and do they have a heart to repent?

Truly, against You only are these sins committed, yet the land perishes from the non-stop fallout that comes forth.

Will You accuse these leaders of their evil? Will You prick their hearts and minds, that they may repent? Or is passing sentence the prevailing end?

You know, O God. Your judgements are sure and You are justified in passing sentence.

All were born guilty, even from conception. Yet You have placed truth and desire for truth within each of us. We have an inner need to worship and only You are worthy.

Are the leaders capable of the wisdom from above? Would they acknowledge it? Or are they past the point and given to delusion that they are god? Have mercy.

For those who would hear You, cleanse them, wash them, that they may be whiter than snow. Open their ears that they may hear the sound of joy and gladness that only You can offer. Must their bones be crushed that they may see Truth? Then let it be so.

Align our hearts with Your Truth that You can turn Your face from our sins. The crimes are many. even crimes against humanity. Your humanity. Rise up O God. Save those who would be saved. Remove those who reject You.

Who would have a clean heart, if one were offered? Who would receive a right and resolute spirit? Bring those people into Your presence and don't deny them Your Ruach Kodesh.

Restore to those in You, the joy of Your salvation and uphold them with a strengthened wlling spirit. If they teach the wicked Your ways, are there sinners who would turn to You?

Rescue Your own from the guilt of shedding blood. God! God of our salvation. Lift us up.

We will sing of You gracious righteousness. Open our lips that our mouth may praise You.

We have nothing to sacrifice that has any meaning to You. There are no offereings that You need. But please receive the broken spirit from those who follow after You. Receive our chastened hearts into Your presence.

In Your good pleasure, bring prosperity to our hearts that we may be pleasing to You.

I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, when You bring all things before You.

Maranatha!

The wicked shall not prevail (Psalm 49)

Hear ye, hear ye.
Listen, all people on the earth!

A call to all, low or high, rich or poor. You are called this day.
Hear the wisdom from on high. Hear the wisdom of the Lord. Listen to gain understanding.

God, Almighty God is speaking to you. Hear to the sound of music.

Why should there be fear in the days that bring trouble?
Why should there be fear when evil surrounds us?
Evil comes from those who rely on their wealth and boast about how rich they are... does it frighten you?

Can anyone redeem his brother or pay a ransom to God for his life?
No.
For the price is too high.
There is no way for you to cause your brother to live on eternally.

Judgement comes. Many will see the pit.

Their riches are nothing. They cannot buy life. They have their schemes and have convinced themselves that they are gods. They can bring forth life. Their schemes are falsehoods. They are deluded with lies and they proclaim themselves gods based on lies from the pit of hell.

They have partnered with the Father of Lies, Satan. They worship him without knowing. For he has convinced them to do his evil work and they have given their hearts over to evil.

They think their wealth makes them powerful, and that they have power over life; but their lives will be called in due time. They will not escape the judgement to which all men are called.

Truly, their corrupt estates will be dust and blown away by a slight wisp of wind. They are the manner of the foolish. Their time is limited. They are destined for Sh'ol, where they will waste away. They will have no dwelling, but their agony shall never cease.

Those who have been redeemed by Messiah will be received into heaven.

Don't be afraid of the rich and wealthy. They can't take it with him. They may seem happy in their control, but it is fleeting. He will join his ancestors and never see the light again.

They fail to grasp that, like animals, they will die. They will not be "Humans 2.0." Their delusion only distracts them from truth.

Take heart. Our God is the One True God. He redeems those in Christ Jesus: Yeshua Hamashiach. Praise His Name. In Him is salvation. Stand strong and proclaim His redemptive work on the cross... He did it for you. Embrace His love for you and receive your salvation today.

Maranatha!

Court is in session. All rise. (Psalm 50)

The Mighty One, God Almighty, is speaking and summons the world from east to west. Out of Zion, Almighty God, the perfection of beauty, shines forth and calls the earth to attention.

Our God is coming and He will not remain silent. Fire devours at His command. It clears the path ahead of Him and storms rage around Him. He calls to the heavens above and the earth, and He comes to judge His people.

His command is heard over all the earth, "Gather to me my faithful. Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice, Come!"

The heavens proclaim His righteousness and none can deny Him. God, Himself is Judge. He is just and He alone proclaims Justice.

(Selah)

Listen, for God is testifying against you:
Your sacrifices are stale before Me. I have no need of anything you can bring. Your sacrifices and offerings mean nothing to Me.

Do you not know that I am the Creator and All things exist at my order. All the animals are mine. All that you bring to me is mine already. It has always been mine. I have no need of your simple gifts.

Offer thanksgiving from your heart as your sacrifice to Me. Be faithful to your allegiance to Me. These are meaningful. Call on Me when you are in trouble and I will deliver you.

If you will honor Me in your heart, and raise Me up and have no other gods before Me, then I will answer you in your time of trouble. I will deliver you for you honor Me.

But to the wicked, the Almighty God says:
What right do you have to proclaim my laws or take my covenant on your lips? You take My instruction and fling it behind you. You ignore my laws that are meant to protect you.

When you see evil, you join in. You partner with the thief, the adulterers...you desire to mock Me and flagrantly lift your voice and intentions to spit in My face. You give your mouth free rein for evil.

Your hearts are intentionally directed toward deceit.

Should I remain silent? Do you think I am unaware? ...or too busy? Perhaps you thought you are like Me and come as a valid adversary.

Know this: I will rebuke you and indict you to your face. I will do this thing before the world.

Whoever offers thanksgiving –his sacrifices honors Me. To him who goes the right way, to him, will show my salvation.

A petition for safety for heads of states (Psalm 4)

O God who lives, my God,
Hear me when I call.

You are the God of righteousness. You know my going out and my coming in. You have uplifted me in times of distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

The world has turned Your glory into shame. They loathe all that You have said and they intentionally feed the rebellion of all that You stand for. The world is chasing its own vanity and laughs haughtily at Your Word.

Yet, O God, there are those of us who petition You on behalf of this nation and on behalf of this world, which has gone astray. There are those in whom You have created a clean heart...O God who is Truth, hear our prayers.

We come, offering the offering of obedience. We bring the righteousness of Jesus Christ with us, for we know we have none of our own. We come. We stand in awe. We cannot look upon Your purity, Your righteousness, Your sovereign authority. We can only be silent before You.

You have set us apart. O God, hear our prayer. We ask, not because we deserve Your attention, but becuase we are Your children and because You have beconned us to do so.

So many doubt You. And many who know You are looking, they scorn You and spit on Your ways, knowing that You are looking. Their haughtyness is their delight.

O God, have mercy.

I come, asking Your attention on the gathering on Monday. So many heads of states. O God, please protect them from mischevious ploys.

Lift up the light of Your countenance, that they may see and know You are God. May the encounter be undeniable, that those who would, come forth in belief.

You have put gladness in my heart, for You are sovereign. Nothing can change it. I place this in Your hands with my request and ask these people may, at this time, dwell in safety.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord, who hears the petition of His servant.

Maranatha!
