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!
