Furnace Prayers: ...in the Wilderness of Sin with the junkyard bulldog

Oh God, my God:

How long, O Lord, will You tolerate the works of Your enemy against us? Your Word tells me that You will never leave me or forsake me. Thank You.

Immigration is now without boundaries as our nation continues to deteriorate. Those in power, with the stroke of a pen, inflict wound after wound. Our borders have been desecrated as millions of migrants storm through the border.

It’s called the greatest human-trafficking program in history. Everyone is “welcomed” by the government, being bused, flown…transported to cities across our nation. How many of these children are given over, in broad daylight, into the hands of child and sex traffickers?

They are given thousands of dollars as we sit in our homes, our jobs destroyed, our hard-earned properties being stripped from us. And we are left to foot the bill.

This ordinance from our dictator government is diluting and cheapening the essence of our dignity and stripping us of our identity as a nation. It is happening at light speed. Thousands a day.

Truly, evil is good and good evil.
Isaiah 5:20-21
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
This is not Your way, Where are You?

Our right to bear arms is, with the stroke of a pen, abolished and eliminated. We are left without protection, or the ability to defend ourselves. The very mandate of our government to defend the Constitution and protect us, are the very people who are doing this. Are those who voted them into office happy about it? Is there any “buyer’s remorse” yet?

We know the election was stolen. But the division between factions continues. These people hold onto their lies like a junk-yard bulldog defending the garbage heap, as the steam from the stench rises behind him.

This is not Your way, Where are You?

* * *
You met Moses in the Wilderness of Mount Sinai…the wilderness of sin (Leviticus 1:1). Thank You. We are there. Will you meet with us too?

You met Jacob, when he had to face his brother Esau. He was so afraid. You wrestled with him.
Genesis 32:24-26
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Father, I look to You. I will not let go until You bless this nation. I will occupy until You come. I will petition You day and night. If we must come through this, lame, like Jacob, so be it. But hear my cry and come to our aid.
Psalm 35
1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.


Psalm 36:7-9
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Help Lord. Your servant calls.

Maranatha.

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 children separated from their parents at the border...the prayers of my heart

***A prayer for children separated from their parents at the border...the prayers of my heart

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:
Psalm 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
REVERENCE:
You, O God bring children into this world. They are Your heritage and we are admonished to treat them accordingly. Children are Your delight and You are not deaf to their cries.

When the disciples tried to prevent children from coming to You, You would not stand for it.
Mark 10:14
But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Children are dear to You. You see all that happens to every one of them—no exceptions.

RESPONSE:
So let us beware of mistreating children, these vulnerable beings that are at our mercy! Father, we are thinking with our minds and not with our spirit. Your Word teaches us differently, but we are not listening with our spirits.

REQUESTS:
For those who pray and those who influence:
  • Speak into our minds. Calm our thinking that we may be quiet and hear Your voice.
  • Open the eyes of our hearts to see with Your eyes and see the needs of these children.
  • Speak to our spirits, and give us a spirit of willing obedience.
  • Open our ears that we hear these voices and take ownership of the fear and harm that we are bringing on these children.

For the children:
  • Father, give them peace of mind in the midst of these circumstances.
  • Give them extra patience and may the older ones set a good example with the younger ones.
  • For those who work with them, give them reassuring words that are true.
  • Strengthen them and help them to be obedient, that it goes well for them.
  • Speed the processes that would allow them to be reunited with their parents.

For the mothers and fathers:
  • Father, I ask You give these parents constant prayers for their children, prayers that delight You.
  • Fill them with Your assurance that You hear their prayers and You are protecting their children.
  • May they gather in groups to pray together and petition Your mercy to end this situation.
  • Protect these parents from guilt. Help them to hold strong and steady.

For the decision makers:
  • Father, give them vision of a better way...one that can be quickly implemented.
  • Order the words that can be received and prepare the hearers to receive them.
  • Put processes in place to quickly unite parents with children.

READINESS:
Ready us to move quickly on this matter.
  • Father, You know chain of command. Establish what is needed to implement the solution.
  • Make those in the process swift to respond and effective in their actions.
  • Protect the solution to bring the credit to You that we may rejoice in the efficacy of this initiative.

...so that, on this matter, we may be faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

A prayer for President Trump and Congress for immigration and DACA...the prayers of one sinner

***A prayer for President Trump and Congress for immigration and DACA...the prayers of one sinner Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Your Word:
Mark 12:29-31
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
REVERENCE & RESPONSE
You are the Lord our God. You are One: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
      There is no other. Praise be to Your Name.

You are the One, True, and Living God.
      There is no other. You alone, are worthy to be praised.

I bow down before You, and proclaim Your Righteousness.
      ..for there is no other appropriate response. (Selah)

You are all knowing, all powerful, and omnipresent. You are the solution.
      Where else are there answers? Nowhere...so I come to You.

REQUESTS:
  • Only You can see all the complexities involved with our immigration.

  • Only through Your wisdom can answers be forthcoming.

  • Only in You, can corruption and self-interests be dimmed.

  • Only You can see the long-term ramifications on this matter.

  • Only You can find answers that are full of compassion for mothers, children, and dreamers.

You and You alone can help us.
There is none other and I ask for Your help.

  • You are the God of unity. I ask for Your insights and for unity between President Trump and Congress.

  • Only Your Spirit can break through the divisive work of the enemy of Truth and self-interests.

  • Only in You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, can unity be found.

  • Only You can see the future end of the actions taken now.

  • Only You love all the people involved and can bring forth an answer that works for all.

READINESS:
Ready us. Everyone has a part in this. Invigorate our spirits to do our part.

Father, this is bigger than the southern wall. It's about the concept of how we, here in America, will treat our neighbors...all of them.       Help Lord. We cannot do this of our own strength...strengthen us for Your solution.
  • Open our eyes to see Your solution, to know it is right, and to move on it.

  • Direct our ears to choose wisely what we hear and how we respond.

  • Quiet our speech. Silence those who bring roadblocks through their words.

  • Invigorate our hearts and our will that we spring into action, annointed by Your Spirit.

REJOICING:
Father, unite us that YOU rejoice in our choices.
May Your pleasure in us, cause great rejoicing within us.

...so that, on this matter, we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,
