Furnace Prayers: Protect those who stand for life

God of Life: Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

You are the God of the living. You are the Author and Giver of Life. Be exalted O God, You are Life itself.

Jesus, You proclaimed:

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Thank You for life. Thank You for breath. Thank You that You have set a path that all, who come to You, can have life and have life everlasting.

John 3:16
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.

Why do so many pursue death?
My heart is heavy as I read of so many accounts of people who promote death. Their hearts and minds have been seduced to seek death through abortion. They have an all-out hatred for anyone who stands for life. Many have become violent and physically harm and persecute those who stand for life.

I bring these stories to Your attention. You were there when each of these things happened. Please recall:

• …when a pro-abortion protestor punched a pro-life student in the face on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court building.
• …when people screamed at a pregnant women when they heard the heartbeat of her baby.
• …when radical pro-abortion demonstrators ripped signs and destroyed property that promoted life.
• …when speeches by brave pro-life leaders, were disrupted during graduation ceremonies.
• …when bomb threats shut down speeches on college campuses…and even students mixing chemicals in the auditorium, causing the room to be cleared.

You were there at the University of Michigan when hundreds of crosses comprised the Cemetery of Innocents display…and when protesters trampled them and ripped them out of the ground.

Turn their hearts
Father, You turn people’s hearts. You humble people so that they can come to You and turn from death to life. Jesus, You have made this all possible. I ask Your mercy on these people. Many (most?) don’t know that their actions are all noticed by You.

You know what is in their hearts. You know how hatred seeped in and You know the author of their actions —Your enemy Satan. Have mercy. Please don’t leave them in this state. Please change their hearts. Pull them to their knees.

For those who stand for life…
I pray for these people who go out and stand for Life, especially for the unborn:

• Confirm in their hearts that these tragic actions are against You and not them!
• Fill them with compassion and mercy for those that persecute them.
• Give them prayers for each person who comes against them.
• With each foul word spoken, may they resolutely show kindness and self-control.
• Give them a heart to pray for their persecutors, for those who don’t realize what they are doing and who are caught up in a movement of death.
• With every move they make to promote life, fill them with an unprecedented joy that they are pleasing to You and You are there with them.

You are the God of the living:

Luke 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Sustain these soldiers for life. Uphold them. May they never run out of courage and strength. Grant them rest. Prevent the enemy from filling their minds with doubt, with the words from those who hate. Instead, fill them with Your love for the innocent lives.

Let them know that their work is meaningful and has lasting influence on those around them. Although they may not be able to see “good” coming from their work, assure them that many people, in days, weeks, and years to come are being changed. Each week, I ask that each person is encouraged by a story that reminds them that they are saving lives.

Have mercy O God. Sustain this movement to protect life. For You are the God of Life.

Furnace Prayers: Freedom from tyranny …Help LORD!

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

You are the God strong and mighty. You are the God of freedom. In You alone does freedom have untainted excellence. Jesus, You came to set us free from sin. Sin is reigning. Help Lord!

What is tyranny?
Oppressive power, especially: oppressive power exerted by government; the tyranny of a police state.

Dr. Martin Luther King said we are obligated to obey just laws. BUT, we are obligated to disobey unjust laws. We are now under tyranny. People in power are forcing us, through fear, to do what is not just. Surely, they will demand we relinquish the right to bear arms and defend ourselves next. We need Your help. I’m asking for it.

Our officers of the law: Police and Sheriffs; Soldiers in our military, all of them, solemnly swear to: "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic… [and] bear true faith and allegiance to the same;”

This isn’t happening.

Your Word:

Isaiah 54:14 (ISV)
"In righteousness you'll be established; you will be far from tyranny, for you won't be afraid, and from terror, for it won't come near you.

Luke 4:18 (WNT)
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor; He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners of war and recovery of sight to the blind: to send away free those whom tyranny has crushed,

What has happened?
Father, does Your Word from Isaiah apply to the United States of America? We bear Your Name. We are established on Judeo-Christian principles. I ask Your help because people, in their fear, are bending to the tyrannical mandates from elected officials, and those law-keepers (police, sheriffs, etc.) who are NOT defending the Constitution and are mindlessly doing what they are told, obeying their masters, rather than upholding what is in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

We are not free anymore. We are being deprived of our right to freedom of speech and the press, the right to assemble and gather as a group to protest, to ask the government to fix problems, and the freedom to practice our religion. Father, the people who took an oath to uphold the Constitution are not doing so.

We are guilty of ignorance.
Many people, who took this oath, are realizing that they don’t know what is in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I didn’t either…to my shame. I have corrected that oversight.

What can I say about the Justices of the Supreme Court? Surely they know the Constitution! Are they ignorant that their actions will be judged by You?

I hear that some are waking up. Many believe what they are told without doing the due diligence of seeking to ensure truthfulness. Many seem mindless about it all, content to simply do whatever they are told— especially our young adults, who should also be outraged. Please wake us up.

Petitions:
— Wake us up to know our rights, granted by Your blessings on this nation through our Constitution.
— Open our eyes to see that power has corrupted many people who are in power, and we have the responsibility to remove them.
— Fill us with the courage to know what to do and to act appropriately to stand against tyranny.
— Equip our law-keepers on the street, to know their responsibility and to fearlessly defend the Constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. Grant them diligence in carrying out their charge.
— Align the hearts and minds of the citizens of this nation to responsibly stand for Truth.
— Call on us to be good stewards of this nation and our Constitution.
— Align us with Your will that all men be saved.

That we may be found faithful in day of Your coming,

Maranatha.

Furnace Prayers: A colossal sting operation?

Father, Lord and Savior, Holy Spirit,

Thank You for this day. I am so excited! I continually petition You on how I am to be engaged to take back this nation. You have shown me that You use people to do Your work here. I’m a people!

…You confirm to me that You hear my prayers and they give You permission to move and to work! …But is there other work. Yesterday, for the first time, I called my congressman and spoke out about Equity Act. You confirmed that it is a sin to cower in fear. You are victory! You are trusting me to do my part. Thank You!

How can I help Your church wake up? (I too used the “snooze button.” But now I am awake! …and I want to help. You have given me questions to ask, that people may inquire and seek Truth. You are Truth. So here we go!

Was it a colossal Sting operation!!!!
The first sin: Satan said:

Isaiah 14:14
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” Pride. You cast him out of heaven…with the third of the angels who followed him!

Pride. You cast him out of heaven…with the third of the angels who followed him!

Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Whoa…and since that time, he has set his path to steal, kill and destroy.

John 10:10
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

BUT…You had a different plan. You blindsided him! It was a sting operation! You set a colossal trap! YOU, Jesus, came to do to Satan, what he did (and continually tries to do) to us. You took back what he stole, you brought life, where he brought death, and You will destroy him! Incredible!

Jesus, when you were coming to the end of Your ministry, You repeatedly told Your disciples what would happen, including that You would be raised up on the third day.

Matthew 16:21
From that time, Jesus began to show to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

…and Matthew 17:22, and Matthew 20:17-19.

Your disciples didn’t get it at first. And hoping you were coming here to stay, this was hard news. They didn’t understand that You would have to leave and THEN You would return.

Questions:

• — Was Satan listening?
• — Did he understand the part about Jesus being raise up on the third day?
• — What about the prophecies that Jesus, You would take back everything!
Hallelujah!!
Hosea 13:14
By placing these words into the mouth of the Messiah: “O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite.”
• — Jesus:
  
  • When You did not respond to the false accusations that were sentencing You to death, did Satan wonder at that?
  • When they shouted, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Was Satan gloating?
  • When You hung on the cross in incredible agony, was Satan and his hoard having a party? Rejoicing? Shouting in triumph and celebration?
  • What about when You rose from dead?
• — And that final mystery given to us by the Apostle Paul:
  Ephesians 3:6-7 (ESV)
  This mystery is [a] that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power.

A colossal STING OPERATION!
I raise the hallelujah!
There were mysteries that were not revealed! AND You use people to reveal them! …when it was too late!

The Apostle Paul, proclaiming that Salvation would also come to the Gentiles!
AND
That now You use us to do this work.

Matthew 28:
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

ARE YOU DOING IT AGAIN?
Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit…I am rejoicing all over inside at the parallels with the sting operation You brought about on Satan, and what is going on today in this nation that bears Your Name: The United States of America, One Nation Under God.

Today’s Questions:

• Was it pride that brought this nation down? (May be weep bitterly and deeply repent.)
• Have You blindsided Satan who wants to humiliate You?…
  • Why all these failures? …it’s becoming clear:
  • If the election had not failed, we would not know about the election fraud, the software and the machines.
  • If the impeachment had not taken place, we would not know the real stand of congressmen and women.
  • If the court cases had not failed, we would not know the stand of the Justices in the Supreme Court.
  • If Mr. Biden had not taken office, we would not see the Executive Orders moving into place to take down this nation.
  
• Are You, once again, using people, including Mr. Trump, to take back what is Yours?

I’m asking! Are we there yet?
Your Word:

James 4:2
“Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.”

Matthew 13:39: “The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”

If the harvest is at the end of the age, should we be expecting a massive revival here? The thought is so exciting, I can hardly write this.

Father, I’m asking. I’m asking for You to restore this nation. I’m asking for a mighty revival. I’m asking for Your church to wake up and see that YOU are at work here and we have a part.

PLEASE, O GOD, sound the alarm that we, Your church can report for duty, ask questions and seek out answers.

Bring this nation together and revive us again! ...That we may be prepared for the day of Your coming.

AMEN!

Furnace Prayers: SCOTUS...no surprise...there are two masters

God of heaven and earth, Holy God and Father, Blessed Lord and Savior, Mighty Holy Spirit of discernment,

Thank You for Your Word. Thank You that You tell us who You are and what is important to You. Thank You that You give discernment so that we may live aligned with Your will. Surely that is the only place where we are safe, secured from the corruption of this world, which You told us to expect.

Two masters:
Yesterday’s decision by the Supreme Court was no surprise. However, it was insightful. Your Word is clear. No man may serve two masters.

Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Father, there is a repeating pattern. We watch as one group after another is divided. We watch as these people in power take sides. We watch as people are being forced to show their hand and do so in public. As circumstances unfold, we are seeing the hearts of people through their actions.

Who will stand?
We are seeing those who will stand for justice, and those who will turn away and try to cover up the deception and the lies. They vote, with their heads held high in arrogance, proclaiming they have power and truth while their shameless hypocrisy accumulates into a massive mountain…they are condemning themselves.

Separating the sheep from the goats: Have mercy on us who are engulfed by the heaps of deception. You are not deceived. You know their hearts and now we are seeing where they stand.

Matthew 25:33-34
"And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:”

How much longer?
How much longer must this go on? How many more people must be exposed? The downfall of so many is hard to comprehend. I can only consider that that the national corruption over a long period of time has both encouraged and generated this kind of leadership. Are You “rubbing our nose" in the results of our actions? I confess that I am a part of this mess. I confess it and repent.

Have mercy on us O God, for this is so far beyond what we can fix.

You have been watching. Nothing surprises You. How much longer will You allow these people to continue the charade? When in history did You turn away from the arrogance of Your enemy Satan and not expose or thwart his work? When did you let him have his way and secure those who stand for truth? When did You allow so many (children) to be victims of his devices and not take action?

I petition You. You are God Almighty. I petition You. Where are You?

You use people to accomplish Your will. Are You waiting and watching Your people to become sick of the stink as we watch the separation of the leaders in our nation? Are You waiting for us to be disgusted? Embarrassed at what we see? Ashamed at the result of our negligence?

I am sick of the stink, disgusted, embarrassed and ashamed. I admit my negligence. I ask to be part of the solution.

Wake Your church. Many are beginning to see the corruption in government. Raise up Your army and use us to lead the way back to Your favor. O God, remember the children. For their sake and for Jesus.

If any will not love Your Truth, may they be Anathema Maranatha.
(1 Cor 16:22)

Furnace Prayers: Woe to you SCOTUS. and Woe to us too

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. Blessed are they that move with compassion.

Who hasn’t heard of the “Good Samaritan”?

The context and the players:
Jesus, the Scribes and Pharisees and the lawyers: all keepers of The Law were coming against You, intentionally trying to find a way to catch You and prosecute You. You knew it! You rebuked them for their hypocrisy. They hung on Your every word, “lying in wait for You” to catch You. (Luke 10-11).

Is there a Parallel?
The “keepers of the law” here in the U.S. We surely have lawyers, lying in wait, repeatedly trying to “catch” something to prosecute both President Trump and the Constitution.

Meanwhile (Chapter 12) "innumerable multitudes" gathered. That’s when You said,

Luke 12:1-3
1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Is there a Parallel?
The hypocrisy stands out. It screams at all who are paying attention. The ability to project on those who do not agree, ALL that they are specifically doing…it shouts from every corner and exposes the lies and deception.

But all will be brought into the Light. There will be no darkness at all, when You expose them. Uncover all that must be revealed that those, especially the children, may be set free. Proclaim it quickly, O God who hears.

Their actions:
Father, the lawmakers! Their actions said it all!
They were coming from Jerusalem. A man was stripped, wounded, and left for half dead. A priest saw him and went to the other side of the road! Not wanting to look! Then the Levite, the other set of lawyers, looked and passed by. Finally the Samaritan, the ones most demeaned by the “keepers of the law” …had compassion.

Is there a Parallel?
The courts have repeatedly avoided seeing the evidence. SCOTUS is no exception. Finding excuse after excuse not to look! But the least likely…is that the people. Is that the multitude…the people who care about our Constitution? Is it our Constitution that is lying in the ditch, stripped of it’s power and integrity, wounded by those legislatures who have “moved to the other side of the road”?

Will SCOTUS take this case? How this moves forward will reveal all. How these individuals vote will tell us who will be faithful stewards. When we know there is a problem, we have to move responsibly. The same goes for the children who have been compromised.

Requests:
Lord Jesus, You were clear:

Luke 12:1-3
1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
AND
Matthew 9:36
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

We are to move with compassion. We are to be responsible stewards to our “neighbors.”

I ask that You:

• Make good on Your promise to reveal what is going on in the hidden places, here in the U.S. and the world.
  
  
• Reveal it, that we may see what has been right in front of our eyes.
  
  
• Reveal to us where we have “moved across the road” ...where we have looked the other way …where we have not been responsible stewards of this nation, our Constitution, and our children.
  
  
• Send a movement of repentance and anoint us with compassion throughout this land. Recover the children. O God, have mercy and recover the children.

The “Good Samaritan” gave his time, his resources and his finances. May we do likewise.

Furnace Prayers: Fight or flight...SCOTUS...all

Gracious God,

I come before You. I am torn inside by the contrast between what I see and know and my understanding of Your will and Your desire. Unspeakable acts have been brought to my attention. I have no words before You. Truly they counter Your holiness, purity, and humility.

More and more information is being revealed that uncovers the depth of depravity of Your enemy Satan. He has always conspired against You and drawn as many people as possible to his side. With every act he mocks You.

The stolen children and every act against them, every act of sex trafficking, every person Satan has demeaned, and assaulted, physically, emotionally, sexually…these have all been acts against You.

You have witnessed every one of them. How is it possible that You have allowed this to continue? …especially where the most vulnerable are concerned?

Your Word:

Ecclesiastes 12:14
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Mark 9:24
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Offend? Father, this is far greater than offense!

PLEASE BRING IT TO A HALT!

You promise to bring good out of every situation.

When Joseph’s brother’s sold him into slavery in Egypt…You brought good from it…Israel was saved. He said:

Genesis 50:20
“But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”

Do You have something for the Untied States today? …and the world? I realize that this issue is so much bigger than the election, much bigger than the sex trafficking, and includes acts so hideous that they are unspeakable. You know O God.

Your enemy delights in his work!

PLEASE BRING IT TO A HALT!

Father, Lord, Holy Spirit: Here in Your Word, You tell us that all sin is against You.

Psalm 51:4
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

You indicate that what we do for others, we do for You.

Matthew 25:40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Do I understand that when I do something to bless someone, I bless You? Does this verse go both ways? When I do something sinful against another person, I have done it against You…correct?

Then, every act against every child…the least of these, the most vulnerable…these unspeakable crimes were done to You. What about all the abominations that have taken place…in secret? You were there. I am so angry at what is going on.

Forgive me, but I am angry with You that this continues. I bring Your Word:

Proverbs 26:27
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

O God, people have pushed children into their fight or flight mode…literally scaring them to death. Is that what will happen to these people?

PLEASE BRING IT TO A HALT!

SCOTUS
Today, SCOTUS can do their part to turn around the election. Would this be a dent, would it be a start to changing this nation back towards Your desires for us? You hold people’s hearts…You harden and You soften. Have mercy O God.

This nation has been a leader in the world, can we lead the work to expose and bring the works done in secret into the light, that all may see, and repent. Would You use us to bring a great awakening and that many may be saved? I ask it.

Whatever Your plan, please act swiftly,
PLEASE BRING IT TO A HALT! ...for the children.

Furnace prayers: God is woke...harden not our hearts. SCOTUS

My God, my God…You are unchanging.

Your glory will be proclaimed. You will cause Your glory to be exalted over all the earth. Your glory will be exalted. All will call You the One True and Living God. I bend my frame before You and say, You are God Almighty. You are God over all Your creation, all that lives, and the earth itself.

Are You woke?

The Merriam Webster tells us:
chiefly US slang: aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke

Yes. You are totally aware and actively attentive. You know what is important and which issues are important. You are true woke.

Father, this nation, our Constitution, has suffered a severe blow and many want to take it down. How long will it take for American’s to be loosed? Gun laws are likely next, abolishing our right to defend ourselves. This will likely happen if Truth about the election is not brought forth.

SCOTUS is positioned to turn the election around. Will they harden their hearts? Will YOU harden their hearts? Seventy-five million Americans, who stand for our Constitution wait on You.

Pharaoh hardened his heart (Exodus 8:15, 8:19, 9:34). But YOU Hardened his heart as well! (Exodus 7:13, 9:7, 9:12, 10:20, 10:27, 11:10!)

WHY: You tell us, over and over again. Just as You told Moses…You do this to wake people up. You do this so people will come to You and know that You are God.You desire that we declare ourselves to be sinners, and acknowledge You as God, SO THAT we may come under Your protection and be blessed. Those who will not, will not be under Your protection.

I realize that You are doing this to establish order. Your order. You have the right to do it. You have the right to decide. "The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof.” I get it. You are not stepping on boundaries. You are calling us to You. And we are so busy hardening our hearts. When we turn a deaf ear, when we “go about our business,” when we ignore what is going on…we are hardening our hearts.

When will we learn?
In Egypt, You hardened hearts and demonstrated Your power. Why did it take so long? You made them an example and preserved this story so we could learn! It doesn’t seem we are learning. We test You at every turn. We are as ludicrous and silly as Pharaoh’s magicians, who could turn their staffs into serpents (which You gobbled up…Gen. 7:22). But then, when all the frogs were everywhere, they made more frogs (Gen. 8:7). But when lice was as dust, they tried and failed AND THEN proclaimed You were God and greater than they (Gen. 8:18).

Should I ask You to “bring on the lice?”

When will we come to the end of ourselves. When will we stop trying to prove that we are better than You. We are a ludicrous people, blinded and stupid as we try to remove prayer, and change everything You have put in place from family to gender. We continually try to show You that we can do it better—just like that Egyptian magicians. Please forgive us. Please knock some sense into our heads!

SCOTUS has upheld these changes. They allowed prayer to be removed. They allowed a re-definition of family and now with abortion and gender. They too have hardened their hearts…or did You do that?

How much do we need!…to wake up? SCOTUS refused to see evidence regarding the assassination of our election. Egypt had no choice but to see the evidence: dead fish from bloody waters, frogs, lice, flies, dead cattle, hail, locusts, darkness, pestilences, and finally the death of their firstborn.

Do we, here in the United States have to go that far to figure this out?

Can we learn from what has happened and turn to You again? I believe that millions of us are petitioning You. This week, please harden not our hearts. Please, open our eyes. Please open our hearts and minds. Let us come together and reason!

Please exalt Your Truth to be proclaimed through SCOTUS and set us free.

You are the God of Life.

Mark 12:27
“He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.”

Help Lord, that we discontinue our lives that greatly err. You insisted that hearts be hardened! …that all Egypt would know You are God.

AND

That all of Your people, all of Israel, would also know of Your mercy and Your cover of them. You instituted an annual national time of remembrance: Passover.

Please God of heaven, God who changes hearts; please use SCOTUS to protect our Constitution and our election process. Please bring this nation back to life. Raise up Truth in Election 2020…that we may repent and turn to You and preserve for the years that remain to acknowledge Your gracious mercy and know that You are God.

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.

How every Christian should pray for President Trump, SCOTUS, Roe v. Wade, LGBTQ, Immigration ...the prayers of my heart

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

Matthew 7:1-3
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

1 Timothy 2:1-2, 4
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; ...Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

REVERENCE:
You are God. There is none like You.

Although You and Your Name have been defamed, maligned, and rejected, Your love for us has never wavered.

Even when we have taken Your Name in vain, spoken falsely of You, Your Word, and Your Son, Jesus Christ...You have been patient, gracious, and merciful.

When we redefined the foundational principles that You put in place to protect us, You have remained patient and have not unleashed Your anger and judgement on this nation.

When we instituted laws to legalize the very acts that You have defined as abominable, we, Your Church, has hidden. Yet, You have not abandoned us.

RESPONSE:
Forgive me when I have judged people in my path...exalting myself as "better than they." Forgive me. Forgive us.

Father, forgive me when I have estranged those who are different that I am and held disdain for them in my heart....for this is not Your way. Forgive me. Forgive us.

Father, this nation has indulged the physical blessings and prosperity and denied that it came from You. And then we have turned around and pampered ourselves with lavish gifts as we neglected those in need, ignored their emotional pain, and shunned them when they have called for help. Forgive me. Forgive us.

REQUESTS:
Open my eyes and fill my heart with discernment to see that every person I have judged is someone You value and died for. You love and value them as much as You love and value me.

Help me to humble myself and to seek You on this matter. I ask for ways to attend to their inner cries and emotional and spiritual sufficiency, as well as their physical needs.

Give me courage to reach out in a way that is gentle and loving. Guide me in my behavior so that I may genuinely receive them just as they are... just as You have done to me—time and time again.

Fill me with compassion, words that build trust, and the means to help in meaningful ways. Help me to replicate the love of Jesus Christ to touch these people, whom You love so deeply.

Grant me prayers for our leaders in national, state, and civic government...prayers that bless You and that cause You to help us all align to Your sovereign will.

READINESS:
Build up a courageous spirit within me to reach out. Provide opportunity to serve them as if You were here and serving them. Make me an instrument: Make me an instrument:

Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

A Prayer for President Trump... ... and the SCOTUS Confirmation Process... ...the prayers of my heart

***A Prayer for President Trump...
     ... and the SCOTUS Confirmation Process...
          ...the prayers of my heart

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

REVERENCE & RESPONSE:
You alone are God. You choose the leaders of a nation and it is beyond our understanding. May we rest in Your choices.

Your Word is living and dynamic. It never fails and it does not return void.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

May we beseech You for change in this nation—change to align our laws and our thinking with Your Holy Word. And may we trust in Your choices and in Your ultimate will that we worship You in spirit and in truth.

REQUESTS:
For residents in the United States:

• Quiet our hearts to seek Your ways and relinquish our need to control others.
• Grant us quiet time with Your Word and time to diligently seek You on this matter.
• Open the eyes of our understanding to align our hearts and minds with Your will and Your Word.
• Unite us with Your will that we may return from our own desires and seek You diligently.

For President Trump:

• Grant him the ability to see as You see.
• Grant him discernment and judgement that is from above. (James 3:17)
• Touch his heart and spirit to align with Your heart and spirit.
• Give him a desire to seek Your will and align himself with it.
• By Your Spirit, may he be judicious in hi communication.
• By Your Spirit, may he desire only Your will for the Unites States.

For the confirmation process:

• May this process have a unifying effect to those who seek Your will.
• May those involved know in their spirit what You desire and choose to be obedient.
• Grant these people civil communication in both written and spoken word.
• Quiet the powers that seek break-up of this nation as "One Nation Under God."
• Send confirmation to those who vote on the direction they are to take.

I ask all of this...so that, on this matter, the United States may seek You and that we may be faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

Prayer for SCOTUS and for national security

*** For godly direction in our future, and for national security that is uncompromised

2 Chronicles 19:6-7
And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

For the future of this nation, we appeal to You with regard to our SCOTUS and the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.

Who is this man? We cannot know. Truly, he may not know himself, but You know him. We hear words, we heat the recommendations, we hear snippets of his past and read bits and pieces, however, YOU alone know comprehensively who this man is. So we appeal to You alone.

Father, who are his influencers? Who are the people who cause him to think differently? Does he have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ? Is he YOUR choice for this position?

How does Mr. Gorsuch's faith become active and is Your Word a barometer as he wades through the massive quantity of information that must be digested when making a decision?

This person will decide cases that will impact the future of our nation. How does Neil Gorsuch rely on nature's laws when he determines the use of precendent when he is "on the bench?" You know.

Reveal these things during these confirmation hearings and may ALL who vote be savvy listeners to hear between the words.

You are not bound by time and You live as much in the future as the past and present. You know these things. I ask for guidance as the choice for the person to fill this position plays out. You put people in places of authority. If this is Your choice, may the process be released. If he is not Your choice, Father, reveal to us where there are concerns and issues and cause truth to be brought into the light.

Father, I ask that whoever is confirmed, that his or her relationship with You be an intimate, daily sacrifice and that Your Word is sought as precious. Help these proceedings to establish a person of prayer, of insight, of clear articulation and of a winsome personality. May the choice here unify our politicians in some remarkable and unexpected manner.

Prayer commentary on Gorsuch Statement from David Kubal,
President and CEO of Intercessors for America (6:03)

Father, this whole matter about the wiretapping is disconcerting. How can this nation function, if security is breached? You are Truth. You, who know the hearts of men and look deeper than the outer coverings of words and visual pleasings...You O God, know Truth. Yes, You are Truth.

Luke 12:2
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Our nation struggles to recognize truth. The media distractions and the divisions amongst us raise barrages of messaging that pelts and clouds our thinking. Where can we put our trust, except in You. Giver ear to this prayer O God of Heaven. You are Truth.

Father, there is foul play in our government. Though the media raises all kinds of havoc, clashing their cymbals, and raising defiance without thought, care, or intelligent argument —we know that foul play regarding our national security carefully and strategically makes its way into our government offices.

You promise there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed. Father cause the foul play to be brought into the light. There are facts that are indisputable: That conversations were recorded in Trump Tower and released through the Washington Post and other sources.

Cause the FOIA request through Judicial Watch to be granted. Cause the truth to be released in a timely fashion. ...and may Truth be shouted from the mountaintops. May Truth descend on our media and crush their insistence on creating disunity. Give this nation an unsatisfiable appetite for Truth. May we seek it out and treasure it. May we establish ourselves in Truth.

Father, help us to secure our nation through Truth. You are Truth.

Prayer commentary on wiretaps from David Kubal,
President and CEO of Intercessors for America (5:18) Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Amen.

Jeremiah prayers —for the USA ...No. 2

***Were we ashamed? Will we walk? Will we hearken?

Jeremiah 6:15-19
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are the One True and Living God. Your righteousness and purity is beyond our comprehension. You call us to be like You and You have provided the way, through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, that we can come before You.

You have provided for us that our future be secured from separation from You. Father, You always provide...if we are willing. You always provide...when we do our part. You have been clear about the conditions of Your blessings and You have not been unreasonable. On the contrary, You invite, You implore, You plead with us to follow Your ways, that we may be safe and secured.

You have clearly spelled out the abominations that You detest. And clearly, we have not listened. We have continued in our ways and fed our desires. Truly, as a nation, we have killed the unborn and we have paid for those overseas to do the same. Forgive us.

Our current administration is taking steps to withdraw from this practice. Our current administration promises a SCOTUS that will uphold and value life. Have mercy O Lord.

May millions rise up and support this direction. You saw the March for Life! People overtly supporting this movement and standing against those who believe that abortion is a part of "womens' health."

Touch the hearts of many to rise up in support of Your directives. May we no longer strike and murder the unborn. Move in the hearts of newly pregnant mothers, those that support them, and raise up the army of women who have had abortions to join together to stop the carnage. Have mercy, O God, have mercy.

Strengthen us that this practice be eradicated from our thinking.

Open our hearts that we may be ashamed. Ashamed of what we have done, what we have supported, and ashamed that we have allowed this practice to continue while enjoying the bounty of Your blessings.

Marriage has been redefined. Father, we think we are so smart that we don't need You and we don't need Your direction. We have become proud. We don't want the "old paths" ...we want the new. We want what we want and we proclaim it to be good. Forgive us.

You have pleaded with us to seek Your ways and find rest for our souls. But we would not listen. Forgive us.

Many of us, who seek You, have turned away and said nothing. We enjoy our stuff. We have amused ourselves as our nation has gone the way of Your warning, while we turned away and refused to act, to engage, to love those who have turned away.

Father, Your church has disengaged from our nation for so long, that many young adults do not even remember any teaching about You. Forgive us and help us return to our first love—and proclaim it.

We have not watched. We have not hearkened to the sound of the trumpet. You set watchmen over us, and they spoke in vain for we would not listen.

The enemy has gained strength. The enemy has used our own to fight against us.

The opposition is now organized, funded, and powerful. And they are our children and our grandchildren—who have been captured by the enemy and are now used for his purpose. They are human shields against the enemy of Jesus Christ.

We are dismayed. May we repent. May we stand before Your throne and repent of our shame and petition You on behalf of these who have been taken captive.

Fill us with Your words that would turn their hearts back to You. May we again become actively engaged in this battle, standing before Your throne, worshiping in spirit and in truth, and speaking in love as Your Spirit gives us utterance.

May we once again hearken to Your Word. May we no longer reject You and may we embrace Your path with contrite hearts.

Help us, 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.
