Our Judges, Ten Commandments, Teachings of Christ, No. 2

***That our judges would value and regard the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ.
Psalm 19:7-11
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Becuse of Your love, the Love of Jesus Christ, because Your Holy Spirit is within, we have hope. We are sinners, all of us, and evil seems to prevail all around us. Yet You have given us guidance! We are not without hope. We have Your Word on how we shall live and Your Spirit to lead, guide, and strengthen us. Hallelujah!

Your law is perfect. Help each American to cherish it deeply, that every soul be converted. Enliven us to demonstrate the love of Christ, that others may desire to be converted as well.

Your testimony is sure. Help Lord, that we seek out Your testimony. Open our eyes that we not miss Your work—either in our own hearts, or in our nation. Open our hearts that we desire to join You in the work that You are doing in our lives, our neighborhoods, and our nation. Show us how to receive the work of the Holy Spirit that we may be strengthened to complete each day, living completely for You.

Show us how to avail ourselves for Your work. Teach us to put Your work ahead of our own.

You make wise the simple. Father, please open our eyes to see the simple. You have not hidden Your work from us. You have not made it difficult nor have You concealed Your path. Your wisdom is available for the asking. Grant us an insatiable curiosity to seek Your wisdom and to find it in the simple.

Surely, Your creation reveals that You are God and that You are the Creator. Help us seek You out in hope, knowing that You desire to give us wisdom that we may thrive.

Hear this prayer for the United States and our Judges. Father, as we have abandoned Your Word—may our judges not do so. May they see their wisdom fall short. May they look back through their work and realize that the wisdom of man leads to destruction.

Every day, as judges and justices read and hear the news, may they realize their own impotence. May they see their inability to do their jobs and live their lives effectively. May we all realize our impotence as we move on our own wisdom and strength. May it not be enough. Grant us a hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Your directions about relationships and behavior is clear. You have given them for our protection, and yet we go our own ways. Convict us, convict our judges to see Truth: the Ten Commandments, and to seek out the teachings of Christ. Jesus Christ—You are Truth. You are the Way, and You are Life. Father, in Your mercy, may we find our way back to You. Have mercy O God of justice.

You are to be desired than all the wealth of the world. Truly, Your Word, Your way, Your justice, Your righteousness, Your holiness, Your purity...give us a desire for these. May the American people, and especially our judges see the filth and disgust that comes from our own wisdom. Lead us to deeply repent of following our own ways and to seek You as we see the results of our sinful choices.

Give us a dream, a vision, a desire for something better! May we desire Your wisdom and judgement that is better than fine gold and sweeter than honey.

May all Americans, and those in our judicial system be warned and hear Your forewarning, that Your commandments and the teachings of Christ are for us. They are there to keep us safe. May we seek the reward that You have stored for us, that we may be re-stored.

Help LORD, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Judges and Supreme Court Justices, No. 2

***That our judges and Supreme Court justices would adjudicate with godly wisdom.
Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Our Supreme Court has been crippled by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. His death has tipped the scales with regard to the opinions and decisions y the team of men and women who are charged with decisions that have the power to completely change the tenor of the United States. These men and women need Your help. They need Your guidance. Please insight an army of prayer warriors to pray for them, for their souls when they stand before Christ, and for them to have a heart to restore our land to a god-fearing, god-honoring "one nation under God."

Truly, we, as a nation have turned from You and towards our own ways. The decisions of the Supreme Court seems awash with the trends of the day that they receive from the pressures of society. That is not their job! Help them to focus on their job to interpret cases as defined by the Constitution. Instill in each one of them a love for and appreciation of the original intent of the Constitution that this land honor You and honor Your Word. Yes, Father, I am asking that You give them a new heart and a new spirit within them.
Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Surely, our nation is at a crossroads. As these men and women define the law of our land, the laws are shifting to protect every possible whim and imagination. We are set on doing what we want. We are set on pushing the gamut of activities that Your Word clearly tells us is against our best interest, our health, our well-being. Father, this seems to be done at the expense of Your church and Your children, who are now targeted as enemies of society. Father, it seems that Your church is dormant, silent, cowering in the corner, and in some cases, we have become reprobate.

The judges throughout the U.S. are making decisions daily that change lives, families, and communities. Guide them in their decisions. Give them a clear vision of how their decisions will affect the long-term as well as the immediate future of those who stand before them.

May our judges and Supreme Court Justices truly seek justice. May they come to terms and embrace that YOU are the true Giver of justice and only source for true justice. As we long for our own way, may these people who lead our nations in these decisions prepare themselves to stand before You. May they devote themselves to learning and understanding justice as You define it. May every one of them, bow their knee at Throne of Grace and before Jesus Christ and submit themselves, their lives, and the decisions that they make to please You. In doing so, may they protect the U.S.

This cannot happen without Your intervention in their lives. So please, Lord God of Justice, please intervene in their lives. Change their hearts and give them a heart to please You, live for You and deliver decisions that align with Your Justice.

Raise up supporters who will cover them and their families in prayer. Help Lord. We need You. Cause revival to break out that our land may be saved. Raise up Your church from our dormant state and may we take a stand and speak the Truth in ways that can be heard and received. Place words in our hearts, minds, and mouth that we may shed our fears and speak the words that align with Your will for us.

In Jesus’ Name.

For U.S. Judges to embrace the Ten Commandments and Christ's teachings

***That our judges would value and regard the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ.
Psalm 19:7-11
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Your ways are perfect, O Lord. Your statues, Your law, Your commandments are before us as the standard to which we should strive. Yet, we cannot attain them. No matter how hard we try, we are found wanting. Truly, Your commandments lead us to failure—unless we Your provision through Christ. You knew that we would not be able to keep these commandments. We will always fall short. May this help us to realize our need for You...for Your salvation, Your guidance, Your redemption.

Unless You open our eyes to see, there is no hope. So how can our judges embrace the en commandments and Christ's teachings, if failure is the inevitable result? Change our hearts. Change the heart of every U.S. Judge to value Your standard of perfection. We seem to be so set on attaining the mark, that we have had to lower it or be failures. Unless You open our eyes to value our failure as an asset, then we are totally lost.

Forgive us for our desire to attain our goals, that we lowered the standard. We have done this over and over again. And now, our standard is so low, that we outwardly defy Your commandments, Your statutes, and Your testimonies. We not only defy the teachings of Christ, but we now have laws that support those who oppose You. Forgive us.

Forgive us for not raising our voices against these new laws and regulations in our nation. Forgive us for not praying and trusting more. Forgive us for not being on guard.

Change us! Change our judges. Change hearts. Change our land.

Your standard is true. Your standard is perfect. We need You. We need to embrace You and Your standards. Open our minds and hearts to see Your commandments as the only approach to life, living, and a functional society. May we analyze our past with the present and heartily return to the past, where we were in a place where You could bless us.

Call us to pray for those who judge. Call us to pray for those who define the laws of the Unites States. Create an army of prayer warriors that watch and pray for our land that we may once again be honorable.

Father, may this begin in every believer in Christ. May it spread to homes and neighborhoods. May it grow without hindrance that we can again raise up leaders who respect You and will embrace Your standards and the teaching of Jesus Christ.

In Jesus’ Name.

Our Judges, Ten Commandments, Teachings of Christ, No. 1

***That our judges would value and regard the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ.
Psalm 19:7-11(KJV)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this day and for Your graciousness in the U.S. Father, we have turned our back on Your Word, Your guidance with regard to the teachings of Christ. Many people have banned together to remove the 10 Commandments from sight and Your church has not banned together to stop this movement to irradiate any reference to You from our land. Yet, I fear that Your judgement is imminent—at the door.

Forgive us where we have fallen short. Forgive us when the principles of Your Word have been vehemently disregarded and we have not made our voice known. Forgive us when we have not come to You in prayer and prayed fervently for those who oppose You in utter rebellion.

Our judges have valued the desires of the people rather than the foundation of our Constitution. Forgive us when we have not supported those in the fight. Show us how to do so. Move in the hearts of this people, that we would see the value of Your Commandments and the value of the teachings of Christ. Move in the lives of true believers to demonstrate that these truths have set us free.

Father, work in the lives of Your Church to come before You, regularly, to uphold this nation. There are unprecedented weather patterns that have not been seen before. People are in dire situations and many have lost their families. So many people are starting over. May there be people there with Your Word, that this nation can start anew and again proclaim that we are One Nation Under God.

Those who minister to the hurting, those in urgent need —may they carry with them the Gospel of Christ. May they offer the spiritual food that saves the soul, and the drink of Living Water that is Christ Jesus.

Raise us up; those who believe. Move in our hearts and press us to rise up and take heed of our nation. Raise us up as an army of prayer warriors to fight these battles for our moral definition and our cultural direction. May Your Church win over the souls the enemy has taken, one at a time. Grant us unceasing prayer on behalf of the souls of this nation. Fill our hearts with compassion for the individual and horror of the proliferation of rebellion and evil.

Father, when we stand before you, may our account be clear on this matter. Press us to fulfill our obedience to Your will for us. Show us the path to commit every part of our will to Your purposes. And may the hearts of those around us see Truth and seek Him, Jesus Christ: the Way, the Truth, the Life.

In Jesus’ Name.

Judges and Supreme Court Justices, No. 1

***That our judges and Supreme Court justices would adjudicate with godly wisdom.
Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this nation that was founded on the desire for justice as defined by godly wisdom. Your Word tells us You are Holy and You hate injustice. May we seek You for the wisdom that brings justice as You define it.

We have sets of people, our Supreme Court justices, who set the laws of our land. They have not protected the rights of all people. They have had the last word in redefining marriage, in the separation of “church and state” … Father, we have not prayed for them as we should. Forgive us. We have not prayed for the direction of our nation and I have watched from the sideline and not participated, even in the privacy of prayer. Forgive me.

I bring these justices before You and the enormity of their decisions. They need Your godly wisdom. Your Word tells us to treasure wisdom.
Psalms 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple
May our judges and justices have an insatiable hunger for Your wisdom. May they throw relativism out and seek You. Furnish them with Your Word and may it feed their souls. May they understand that they lack wisdom in and of themselves and may the diligently seek You.
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Father, may this be their prayer. Open their eyes to the fact that they will stand before You at the end of their days. Impress upon them to seek You that they may stand without shame, knowing they have been diligent. Establish within each heart that they are incapable, truly, they are inept without You, the Founder of True Wisdom.

Delight their hearts with Your Word. May they lavish in it, read it, and delight in it. May the fascination of Your Word so entice them that they seek You in every decision that they make. May each one find relationship with You that is foundational to living and may they seek Your help in their daily walk.

Father, press upon these men and women that their decisions are grave. Press upon them the gravity of their work and may they understand that they are weak, inept, and flawed. May the light of Christ, The Living Word, be their fortress, their wisdom and the foundation of their decisions.

Bring many Spirit-filled believers around them to pray, support and encourage each one of these men and women, and may they have rest and peace, knowing that they serve the Most High God in their work for this nation.

In Jesus’ Name.



Please consider this second prayer for our judges and Supreme Court Justices.
