Furnace Prayers: Waiting... essential for victory

My gracious heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit,

I come. It is so tempting to take some “down time” from praying for this nation. Last week’s acquittal brought encouragement. Can there be down time? Will it be okay to take time out? …Your enemy Satan is not taking time out. He is moreover, all the more angry and vehement at the acquittal. No, I will not take time out. You have put me here to stand. I will stand.

Is there value in waiting?
We wait as we begin to see the value of waiting. This isn’t new. I build my case before You:

Case study No. 1: Moses in Egypt
When Moses returned to Egypts to stand before Pharaoh - YOU hardened Pharaoh’s heart (Exodus 9:12 and again in Exodus 10:20); just as You said You would. You were in control of the whole thing! The people suffered. They were crushed with “executive orders” …no straw, more bricks.
Commentary:
The same is happening to us here O God. People are losing their jobs, demeaned, berated, and hated.
Case study No. 2: Job
Oh Lord, have mercy. One “visitor” after another betrayed him. Not at first. But as the time continued, one after another turned against him and put him down. Waiting exposed the true hearts of his ”friends."
Commentary:
You allowed the enemy to take Job's possessions, his family and his health. You allowed his friends to turn against him and bring incredibly harsh accusations. Their words spit in his face. Job had to wait for their true hearts to be revealed. But he stood his ground.

Job 19:25-27
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Case study No. 3: Jesus
Jesus and his disciples were gleaning corn on the Sabbath…which irritated the “rulers” …because it wasn’t in their playbook! (Luke 6:1-3). Then they followed You to find other ways to criticize and condemn You…Would you dare heal someone on the Sabbath? YES! You even made a public display of it so there would be no question whatsoever. (Luke 6:7-10).
Commentary:
Father, Lord, Holy Spirit…in each case Jesus, You indicated Your actions were aligned with the law of the land! He brought Old Testament references to them, vindicating Your actions. This has been done here too. True leadership has responded to the letter of the law.

Luke 6:11
"And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus."

The same is happening here today. As these people seek to destroy this nation, they are looking for one reason after another to bring down our Constitution. As one concern after another is dismissed, as they fail at every attempt, they are being driven into madness. We watch as they will do anything to bring down this nation and raise up their agenda.

The waiting has brought about the full exposure of the work of Your enemy. It has prepared us to see Your salvation.
My God, my God…You have not forsaken me. You have not forsaken this nation. You have not forgotten our Constitution. We remain One nation, under God.

Conclusions:
Waiting brings forth Truth. Waiting opens the eyes of the people.
Egypt:
Every god of of the Egyptians was countered with each interaction with Aaron and Moses. Each one had to be brought into the light to be exposed as a false god. The waiting time raised You up and proclaimed that You are God.

You promised they would “spoil” the Egyptians.
“But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians” (Ex. 3:22, KJV).

In the end, they did!
Exodus 12:36
And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

Job:
He withstood every accusation. In the end, he was restored double!

Job 42:10
“And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.”

Jesus:
We are seeing the madness and realize that it is with purpose! Jesus, You acted according to the law. The more they tried to use the law against You, You bested them. It was maddening. You waited and allowed them to kill You, to provide life eternal to those who believe in You.

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 I will wait and why I will stand.
  • We are seeing those who want to decimate the Constitution being exposed.
  • The longer we wait, the more people are exposed as "workers of iniquity.”
  • You are exposing the evil that has taken over so much of our thinking.
THE END GAME
  • Israel left Egypt, their gods were exposed. You are exposing evil as we wait.
  • Job’s visitors were eventually put in their place and repented. You bring our need for repentance as we wait, watch, and experience the hand of the enemy upon us.
    -- We are seeing more and more people expose their true colors.
  • Jesus, You have provided for the exposure of Your enemy. You have bested him. You will prevail.
My petition
I petition You.
  • As You did with Egypt, expose our false gods and take us out from under this rule.
  • As You did with Job, expose the “friends” who are not friends. Restore this nation…may I ask for double?…You did it for Job. I ask it.
  • As You, Jesus, brought life forth from the wicked schemes of Your enemy, I ask it happen here. In America. I ask for revival. Hot! On fire revival!
You have given me the armor and I will stand.
Psalm 27:14
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

Ephesians 6:13
“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Lord God, please hear my plea for all who are waiting. Encourage, strengthen, and uphold us. The time and the trial is long. But we will wait on You. I put my hope in You alone, my God who is faithful.

Furnace Prayers: Ah ha! God cannot be cancelled!

Father, Lord, Holy Spirit,

You who know all things. You, who accomplish Your perfect will in Your perfect timing. You know my frame. You know the comings and goings of all my mental traffic…and wait patiently for me to bring it to a halt so I can hear Your voice. You listen with great care as I pour out my heart…even though You already know everything I’m telling You.

You are a great God. You are too wonderful for me. You alone satisfy my spirit. You alone put my mind to rest. You comfort me, encourage me, and Your faithfulness, to all my needs, never fails. Thank You for Your steadfast care.

Impeachment marker? Have we passed a marker with the impeachment closure? It seemed silly, but underneath, I feel Your enemy. He stealthily lurks in the hearts and minds, bringing fright, panic, and death. Ii realize that those who have succumbed to him are dangerous as they seek to protect their lives.

Please protect these people…all of them. Please bring all of them before You to do business while they are here. Surely, this has been a time of testing for everyone involved. What is the eternal business that You want me, and each of these persons to embrace and manage, in the here and now?

It seems there has been a respite, a bit of a break as we waited for the impeachment to come to closure. Thank You. Thank You for bringing some truth to the surface. Thank You for the acquittal of President Trump. There is, what seems like, an unending ability to blame those of us who seek Truth, of exactly what the accusers are actually doing. It is amazingly consistent. They have accused him of infighting violence and of treason.

Does the dismissal of these accusations against him, reveal the treason that has been going on in those who accuse him? Me thinks so.

Are hearts changing? You are in charge of that…am I correct? It is Truth that has been buried under mountains of lies. I ask that You bring Truth forward. Jesus is Truth.

Cancelled?
Many have not been able to reason through the information the media has allowed to come to the public. The real information lies underneath. I struggle to understand why people, seeing only what the media allows, do not realize that information is being suppressed! I don’t get it. It is so obvious that it even has a name: cancel culture!

Why have so many powerful people jumped on the movement? The media and Big-Tech “giants” have led the way to turn the culture against Truth.

You’ve dealt with giants before. They came with all sorts of aberrations. You slew Goliath! He was very tall. Og, king of Bashan - also a huge man (Deuteronomy 3:11). Oh yes…Anak and his descendants (Numbers 13:33). The Amorites were tall as cedars and strong as oaks (Amos 2:9-10). The Zamzummites…these people are new to me (Deuteronomy 2:20-21)…and others…the Emites. There are more giants in the Bible than I have considered.
1 Chronicles 20:4-8
4 In the course of time, war broke out with the Philistines, at Gezer. At that time Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaites, and the Philistines were subjugated. 5 In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.

6 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. 8 These were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
Well, that’s most encouraging! Thank You for Your Word. These “tech-giants” and “media giants” …they are nothing for You. You have dealt with giants throughout all of time. They are at YOUR beck and call. They are tiny. Okay, I’m struggling, as I see what they have done.

I struggle to be compassionate and remember that You love them. Jesus, You died for them as well as me. Here I am, thinking, “Well, I’m not as bad as they are! I’m not cancelling anyone. I’m seeking Truth!” …O my God, forgive me of the pride that wells up from within. Please save them. All of them. Every one of them who would receive Your Salvation.

It will be fun to hear their testimony in heaven. Save them. Please save them.

Ah ha! You cannot be cancelled!
Thank You…You will have the last word in the lives of every person who has ever been born. Nothing will be hidden. All will be made known.

We have a marker behind us. The impeachment is over. Some Truth has been revealed. A vote has been taken and people have indicated their allegiance. Is it time for reason?

Here is reason:
Isaiah 1:18-20
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Speak, O God, into the hearts of Your servants. You know the future, both far and near. You know how all this is going to work out. You have the Plan. We hold on to little snippets of information we can glean. Help us to rest in Your faithfulness.

Guide me and those who are petitioning You on this matter... to spend our time nurturing our relationship with You, first and foremost, as we seek You in the midst of the clamor that surrounds us. Rise up, O God. In Your mercy, cancel the lies that surround us, that we may shine in the dark and add savor amidst the wiles of the enemy, who strikes at the heart of The United States of America…at our Constitution. Uphold us to stand strong. And having done all…to stand.

Thank You, for You call us to be with You forever. We wait on You.

Furnace Prayers: Embarrassed

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,
Please speak into my heart,
Speak to us, who wait on You.

Teach me to love You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength! What are the thoughts and actions that demonstrate this to You? You know my thoughts, You see my actions. Touch me to be totally committed to You and may it be a testimony to all those around me that You are the One True and Living God.

My heart is heavy with the frightful actions that reveal a takeover of hatred for righteousness. How far to the right would You have us? We are called by many names, now they are with disdain: conservative, republicans, the right, the far right…and others that are so derogatory that I am not including them here.

Hot or cold?
The far right? Does “right” indicate one that stands for righteousness? Your Word indicates that there are no shades of righteousness. What isn’t righteous is sin. Do I have that right?
  • Stealing is wrong, we can’t steal a little bit.
  • Lying is anathema to You, “little white lies” are still sin.
  • So there aren’l little sins and bigger ones?
Sin is sin and any sin at all causes You to turn from us. Thank You Jesus Christ, My Redeemer, who has removed the curtain of separation for I am only a sinner, saved by grace, bought by Your merciful payment.

May I not forget that my sins, each day, do not go without cost. You paid for those as well. I am so humbled.

We are either hot or cold. Lukewarm is not welcome.
Revelation 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Father, I don’t want to cower in fear! It is so very tempting! HELP LORD!

Embarrassed: The lukewarm church.
So many of Your Church are lukewarm, loving their comfort, not desiring to “get involved.” Father. Father! FATHER! I cry out to YOU…I don’t know how to get involved! I petition You day and night. What more can I do? I see the suggestions of people like Sidney, General Flynn, and Lin and they do not seem like options here in my little world. Am I missing it? Oh I don’t want to miss it! Where can I find others who are like-minded here? Lead me, guide me, use me.

Embarrassed: Washington D.C.
The goings-on in D.C. are so embarrassing. My heart is so heavy. It is obvious that there is something terribly wrong. So many people are squirming, gasping for air. It is so evident that their very lives are at stake. They need You. They need Life! They need JESUS!

Please reveal Yourself to them. Who would receive Life? You know O God and I pray for them to have open hearts to see their sin and turn from their wicked ways. The wickedness has become so perverse that anything that even glances towards You is considered a threat. WHY? Because in You alone is salvation.

Have mercy on these people. Draw them out to kneel before Your throne and do business with You. The business that has eternal consequences. May they do it now. You called me, squeezed me beyond my capacity to tolerate the pressure, until I fell before Your throne of Grace. It is the most painful and most wonderful thing You have ever done for me. I am so grateful. Please, please, God of all mercy, have mercy on these people.

Only one request:
My petition is simple: when I stand before You, I want to have accomplished ALL that You have set before me. I don’t want to hesitate because of fear. I don’t want to have hidden. You have put a great burden on my heart and sorrow for what I see. It encompasses me night and day. I want to use it for Your glory but I can’t. Only with Your help can this be accomplished.

Please take the reins of all that I am: heart, soul, mind and strength. I give it without reservation. I ask it.

From Charles Spurgeon:
In all our sorrows we have his sympathy. Temptation, pain, disappointment, weakness, weariness, poverty—he knows them all, for he has felt all. Remember this, Christian, and let it comfort thee. However difficult and painful thy road, it is marked by the footsteps of thy Saviour; and even when thou reachest the dark valley of the shadow of death, and the deep waters of the swelling Jordan, thou wilt find his footprints there.
Spurgeon, C. H. (1896). Morning and evening: Daily readings. London: Passmore & Alabaster.

Amen.

Furnace Prayers: Boundaries...I give You permission...

God of all Creation! Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit!

Good morning and all hail to You, the God of Creation.

You were there when You created the earth:
Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Jesus, You were there too:
John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made”.
In Your very first act of creation, You created boundaries. It’s amazing to me that there have been boundaries from the very beginning.
  • You separated the heaven from the earth.
  • Dark from light.
  • Water from the dry land.
  • Oh…the Garden of Eden - any tree but one.
You are God, You created boundaries when You created the earth. You created boundaries within each of us as well. We are body, soul, and spirit. All integrated, but still with boundaries. We are still learning about them, especially with regard to relationships.

As I think about Your Word, Your wonderful Word, I realize that it is all about boundaries. You tell us where the line is because You want to protect us. Yet, You respect the boundaries You have given us…hmmm…unalienable rights?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It’s amazing to me that our relationships with others rely on healthy boundaries to be effective. You put boundaries in place from the very beginning to establish appropriate and proper relationships and the vehicle is respect for boundaries. On these "rules of engagement,” we can be effective, if we keep our boundaries, and protect and respect the boundaries of others.

Satan, Your enemy, even Satan, had to ask permission to assault Job. You set his boundaries on what he could do to Job’s family, his wealth, and even Job's body. (Job chapters 1 and 2.)

And You have given us the weaponry and armor to protect ourselves (Ephesians 6: 10-17), and You clearly state that we can withstand Your enemy Satan.
James 4:7
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Boundaries:
You have given us complete authority with regard to our lives — within the confines of a world broken by sin. You set up boundaries, giving us dominion over our souls and spirit. We can control our thinking, our emotions, and our spirit, while our bodies are subject to the inherent and pervasive ramifications of sin.

So if we have control over our mind and spirit, then You won’t intrude without our permission. It’s a matter of respect. You respect us, and we are to respect Your boundaries as well as the boundaries of others.

Your boundaries: All those things You cannot and will not do: Your boundaries. You will not lie. What You do will always be for good and not evil. You will not interfere with our personal boundaries, that You have given us –unless we give You permission. Do I have that right?

Permission granted:
At this time, in this nation, we are challenged daily with regard to boundaries. I’m not sure we are seeking Your guidance on this and I’m coming to You and asking for guidance. Not just for myself, but for my neighborhood, and the United States of America.

Can I give You permission to enter the fabric of this nation and bring us together? I wonder if You would want to do that. Then I think that You want all men to be saved and You are a God of Justice. This is Your will, Your desire. So I am encouraged to stand for those things that You desire.

Prayer:
When we ask in prayer, are we giving You permission to intervene? To intercede? To move across our boundaries? I think so. Many are praying. Many are asking You to come. Many are giving You permission - so You are respecting our boundaries because we have granted You permission to come, to intercede, to intervene. I ask it. I give You permission, I open the door and beckon You and welcome You. Please come in to my life, my neighborhood, and this nation: One Nation, Under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

For the sake of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,

Furnace Prayers: From 12 to billions... Justice based on Truth

Lord God of Heaven!
Lord Jesus, the Christ!
Holy Spirit, Guide and Counselor!

Good morning! Thank You for this day. Thank You for the week and that You are Truth and Truth shall reign! You, Jesus, Messiah, You are King of Kings. You are Lord of Lords! You reign! Hallelujah, for God has come down from heaven and demonstrated Truth to the Nations.

You are the Living Word of God! Hallelujah! For Your Word reigns and You are incontestable! You are absolute, indisputable, irrefutable and conclusive! Hallelujah!

This is the week of Truth based on fact!

You are the God of justice and You execute Justice for all!
Psalm 89:14
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
And thank You for Your mercy and truth, which also belong to You. Gracious God, who brings mercy to the earth that all men be saved.

The United States of Amercia is aligned with You!
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
There are those who want to decide what is liberty and what is just. They believe they can deliver Justice. This is based on their idea of justice. It does not align with Your definition. Your justice is based on Truth. The incontestable, absolute, indisputable, irrefutable and conclusive Truth! Amen and Amen!
Proverbs 21:15
[It is] joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity.

Zechariah 7:9
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:

Psalms 106:3
Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
This week! The “impeachment” …Father, may Truth prevail. May Truth rise up. Many people are not interested in Truth. They want what they want and their want is filled with wickedness based on lies. Rise up O God and change their hearts. Open the eyes of their minds to see that they are filled with wickedness and You wait for them and offer forgiveness.

There are many that are committed to be faithful to the Lies of Satan to their end. Please show them their end that they may repent and be free.

Elisha!
What a testimony to You! Thank You for preserving what You did. I ask You do it here as well: this week on many venues.

The Syrians came down against Your people to make war. The Syrian king repeatedly set up his camp to come against Israel. But Elisha repeatedly sent word to the king of Israel to avoid the area. The king of Syria was perplexed how they knew of his location, time after time, and he was sure there was a traitor. He was corrected:
2 Kings 6:16
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
The king of Syria pursued Your servant, Elisha, who rose early and saw the endless army of Syria encamped around him. Elisha’s servant was filled with fear saying, “Alas, my master! how shall we do?”

Elisha prayed that the eyes of the servant be opened. And he saw the hosts of heaven, ready for battle.
2 Kings 6:16-17
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Father, You know why I'm telling You this and I know You remember this remarkable history and You remember Your work there. Would You do this for the United States?

We are surrounded by the lies of the enemy who wants to divide this nation. Many serve him. They have set up camp around this nation. Many of your servants are afraid. Open our eyes to see Your power and might.

Please perplex the enemy, especially with the “impeachment” and the docket of SCOTUS…that Truth come forth. Expose the lies that hold us hostage! I implore You O God. You know every word spoken in every covert plan that has been devised.

It is so overwhelming that I am tempted to say all is lost, that Your judgement is severe upon us for we have been a wicked nation. BUT You continually tell me that You want these people saved. So I’m asking for that! You were merciful to the Syrians and Your servant led them back to their country.

Can we do the same? Can we lead these people back to the nation You brought forth? The One Nation Under God? Indivisible with liberty and justice for all? I ask it!

I COME BOLDLY because this is aligned with Your Word and my understanding of Your will.

Many are realizing that we have power against these people. They condemn and throw out Mr. Lindell, but we flock to his website and purchase his products. Pastors and churches in California are being persecuted. Let us flock to them and provide for their need. There is power in our numbers.

HOWEVER:

When You opened the eyes of the servant, he saw that "the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” Father, we are more than the 70,000+ people who stand for Truth. Join us. Raise us up to move swiftly and to stand in this battle. Send Your chariots of fire!

You blinded the enemy. Blind our enemy to their desire to take over this nation. Cause their plan to crumble. Bring these souls to Your salvation and again unite this Nation to stand. Unite us to continue our past work of bringing Your Word the nations. Revive us for this purpose! I plead before Your throne of Truth and grace.

Jesus, You commissioned and equipped 12 men to take Your Word to the world…and billions have been saved, believing in Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life. Would You again commission and equip this nation?

How many verses in Your Word tell us that the battle belongs to the Lord? Over and over again. Is this battle too much for You. No! Would You prefer to judge the souls in this nation or save them? I stand with You that they be saved.
2 Chronicles 10:15
Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.

1 Samuel 17:47
And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.

2 Chronicles 32:7
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is] with him: for [there be] more with us than with him:

Exodus 15:3
The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
Rise up O God. That they may know that YOU alone are the LORD. For our good and for Your glory.

Furnace Prayers: Psalm 91

O God of my salvation, I come in Your Word: Psalm 91.
I come for myself, for all who believe in You and for this nation, the United States of America.
  1. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and we are under the shadow of Your wing.
  2. You are our refuge and our fortress, You are our God and in You alone, we trust.
  3. You deliver us from our enemies (foreign and domestic), and from the noisy pestilence.
  4. You cover us with Your feathers and we trust in You. You are Truth and You are our shield and buckler, our protection all the day and night.
    (This nation is in a dark winter –a dark night. Terror, hate, and scoffers, people at large, run after their own desires. Help Lord!)
  5. Terror comes in the day, on the news, and in the night, as evil seeks the fulfillment of Satan's desires.
  6. Pestilence walks in the darkness –attacking our minds and spirits as well as our bodies! It attackes our hope as a nation, as we hear the work of Satan through these government mandates.
    BUT,
  7. A thousand shall fall at our side, 10,000 at our right hand!
    BUT
    It shall not come near us.
  8. Our eyes will see it (We are seeing it Lord!), our ears hear in dismay (Lord, indeed)...the reward of the wicked is proclaimed!
    BUT,
  9. Because You, the LORD are our refuge, You, the Most High are our lifeline..
  10. NO EVIL shall befall us, nore plagues come near us, or our dwelling.
  11. You give Your angels charge over us, and keep us, in ALL our ways! (Even our thoughts, our fears, and our bodies...Thank You!)
  12. Your angels bear us up with their hands, and even our foot is not hurt. The stones of the enemy will not come near us.
    BUT,
  13. With our feet (shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace!), we will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion, and the dragon –we will trample them under our feet!
    BECAUSE,
  14. Because we have set Your love and our hearts towards You, You proclaim that You set us on high...because we know You and call out to Your Name.
    BECAUSE,
  15. You proclaim that You answer us when we call.
    We are calling - on behalf of ourselves, Your church, and this nation. Thank You that You hear our prayers.

    You proclaim that You are with us and will be with us in times of trouble! –Lord God of Heaven, this nation is in time of trouble, and we cry out to You.

    You proclaim that You dleiver and honor those who call in Your Name. We are calling.
  16. You, alone, satisfy with long life and show us Your salvation.
• • •
Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit, I am a lowly sinner. I read how Daniel came before You, confessed the sins of his nation. I come in this same manner. We do not deserve Your mercy, but I ask it. I come on behalf of this nation.

I look to You, O God, for in You alone is refuge, a secure fortress, and our salvation.

I cry out to You and with others who are petitioning You for the future of this nation. Hear my cry for the United States of Amercia. Have mercy, O God.

Furnace Prayers: Please stop the masquerade

O Ancient of Days, Great I AM,
Jesus Christ, King and Lord…my Advocate before the Father,
Holy Spirit, Ruach, Breath and Eternal Spirit,
…who seals me, indwells, and is the Witness and Revealer of Truth!

All hail to the One, True and Living God!

Have mercy on me as I struggle in the waiting space for Your deliverance. My soul longs for justice as the blatant deception continues to bury and cover Truth.

It is hard to watch as people who choose to stand and speak Truth are immediately and fiercely attacked, overwhelmed, and bludgeoned with lies. They are made out to be evil by those who serve the father of lies.

Jesus, Jesus! Aren’t You the Way, the Truth, and the Life? Aren’t You forever…so there is no end to Truth?

You are! You are Eternal! You are Eternal Truth!

O God of all Living, thank You for Jesus Christ, Who is the undeniable Truth. Thank You Father for sending Truth, Your Son!…to dwell here. Thank You, Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit so I am not alone.

Spirit of Truth - please rise up!

Lies, deception and trickery enfold this nation. Those in the media pour out unrestrained lies! They seem unstoppable. They are driven by a relentless, incessant spirit of rebellion that is backed by a despicable deluge of stench. They detest Truth…they detest the One, Who is Jesus Christ. They embrace darkness and they perform the unthinkable.

How long will You tolerate their rebellion against Your Son?
How long will You allow this stench to bury Truth?

You are Holy. Your purity is beyond anything that I can imagine.

O God of Truth…how long will You tolerate this?
How long will You allow Your children to bear the burden of these lies?

The putrid stench is all around us. Pour out Your Spirit. Holy Spirit, come. Please come. Wash us clean.

Jesus! I call upon You:
You are the Christ!
You are the Lord of lords.
You are the King of kings.
You are TRUTH.
PLEASE Stop the masquerade, the mockery in public has cut off our air. We cannot breathe.
PLEASE Stop this treacherous facade, this pretense that pervades the earth.

You warned us about false christs!
Jesus, You told us to beware of those who call themselves a christ.
Matthew 24
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
That’s exactly what these people, who follow Your adversary, Satan, are doing. They are proclaiming themselves to be truth. They are a false christ!

Rise up O God of my heart. Rise up. I am a member of Your Kingdom and here in the privacy of my living, I watch Your servants on the front lines, in the public eye, as they are slaughtered all the day long by the media.

Please uphold them. Give them the strength of Samson, the wisdom of Solomon, the words fitly spoken from Your Spirit …fill them with Yourself. Fill them with Eternal Truth!

Although the media seeks to suppress You -You are Eternal.
THEY CANNOT SUCCEED!


When the cancel culture shouts louder, so listeners cannot hear —Your Word rises up, above the din of the filthy garbage being poured out on this nation.

THEY CANNOT WIN!


Open the spiritual eyes of this nation. Please hear my cry. Please hear my yearning for TRUTH to rise to the surface…for JESUS! For light, for exposure of the lies that bind and crush us. LORD…they muzzle our hearts, humiliate us, trample our hope and confuse our reasoning. You are HOPE. Help us Lord.

Please turn the tide of public awareness. Change hearts that are filled with hate to inquiry, to eager curiosity, and give them an intense thirst for TRUTH! Hear my prayer.

Because YOU are the Great I AM?


This battle is long and the eyes of my heart grow dim. Shed Your light, O God…yes, God of my heart. Shed Your light, Expose and make public the lies that the father of lies has reigned down upon us.

Illuminate the darkness.
Broadcast Truth!


And I will raise the Hallelujah!

Furnace Prayers: Judgement coming... for whom?
                            ...please wait

God and Father,
Lord and King,
Helper and Guide,

You provide and sustain. You uphold and focus. You decide the priorities in my life. You alone can set my priorities because You have a plan for my life. Thank You. I want to fulfill all that You desire for me. I kneel before You. Anoint me…speak a blessing over me…for this day, and for every day. I come.

Some say that judgement has come to the United States. But it seems that it’s the good people that are being persecuted…and especially those that believe in You. We are being judged. Is Your judgement on the church? Are You using those who oppose You to come against Your sleepy and negligent people? Are You pleading with us to wake up and come to attention?

Others say the U.S. must undergo a time of pain so we can wake up and see…so we can literally experience the corruption that has deeply beset the moral character of this nation.

What do You say?
Is the church under judgement? Is the nation?

Father, it seems that evil is having a great time. Those, being used by Your adversary, Satan, are cancelling anything and everything they don’t like or want to hear or see. Are You using them to judge the church?
1 Peter 4:17
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
If so, speedily wake us up. We should have heard the alarm clocks along the way:
  • — When prayer was removed from schools

  • — When prayer was removed from schools
  • — When the definition of family changed
  • — When Your covenant of marriage was exchanged for what You specifically call an abomination
... and so many other alarm clocks.

Most of us hit the snooze button and turned over to sleep…turning our backs on what is important to You. Very few were listening. I wasn’t listening. I turned a deaf ear. Please forgive me.

I wonder if You are upset that we still call ourselves, “One Nation Under God” …especially since we have become so focused on being god-less. It is reasonable that You would not want to be associated with us. I am so sorry.

HOWEVER!

Dearest God of my heart! I come with a light heart before You! My heart is filled with rejoicing and shouting “Hallelujah!”

BECAUSE:
When evil was moving like and unstoppable locomotive…YOU took Your people out before Your judgement came.
  • — You took Noah and his family out before the flood.
  • — You convinced Pharaoh to let Your people go, when they were being crushed…and then You destroyed the Egyptian Army.
  • — You removed Lot and his family before You judged Sodom and Gomorrah.
  • — You promise the rapture of the church before Your final wrath…Your final call to all who would come to You.
BEFORE JUDGEMENT:
  • — You removed those who would be saved.


Aren’t there some people here in the U.S. who would turn to You when they hear the Gospel?
Aren’t there souls to be saved for the Kingdom?
Aren't You the Shepherd who leaves the 99 sheep and goes back for the one who strayed?

I’m just asking!
I can only believe there are people who are looking for You!
YES! My heart rejoices at the thought!

I ASK:
  • — For another chance!
  • — For another chance!
  • — For the church to armor-up for the battle!
  • — For the pedophile cult to be exposed and brought to justice
  • — For the Gospel to be preached in every pulpit to equip the church to proclaim it every day in their lives!
  • — For the restoration of the USA through a massive revival!
  • — For the U.S. to be great again because we raise up Your Word!
Why?
I ask this, Father, for Your Son, Jesus Christ, Messiah, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He paid the price for these souls. He took the punishment. Please give us another chance. It would be for our good and for Your glory.

For Jesus’ sake and in His Name, I ask it.
Please say, "YES!"

Furnace Prayers: A call for justice

Father in heaven,
Lord Jesus,
Holy Spirit,

You are the God of justice. Injustice is all around me, but Your justice shall endure. Injustice is come upon Your children…us.

Open persecution?
We are openly persecuted economically.
  • Banks are calling the loans on Pastors and churches in California.
  • Companies are firing people simply because they are known as “conservative."
  • Using the name of POTUS 45 brings threats, even when used in private conversations.
  • Bullying comes from the media against every person willing to stand on Your Word, or Your principles…which have made this nation “great.” …others follow along, thinking this is the “right” thing to do.
  • Some want us put in camps to “re-educate” us.
  • Many want our children. This is not economic.
You know the full extent of what is going on.

Your Word:
Matthew 5: 10-11
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted the prophets that were before you.
Please pour out Your Spirit of Rejoicing on these pastors, their families, their churches, and all who labeled “conservative” or “Christian” or who dare to believe in the principles in Your Word. Hold them strong.

Help us all, who are called by Your Name to separate ourselves from the “things" of this world; our property, our belongings, our worldly stuff. We cannot do this on our own. We need Your help. Help Lord!

The children: is this where the line is drawn?
Yet, above all that can be seen, beyond that which is out in the open, past what everyone observe, there are the actions in the secret places. Actions against children. You know them all. You are the God who is there: You are Jehovah Shammah.

Your Word:
Luke 17:2
“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
Father! FATHER! These little ones are being offended in the most grievous of ways. Where are You? Expose this perversion around which an entire industry is centered.

Where are the millstones? Please bring this to a stop. Please have mercy on these children. Please expose the cabal that steals, kills, and destroys these little ones. We know that Satan is behind this.

All the lies! Please expose the cabal and the Father of Lies, who is joyful and delights in what we know to be wrong! I appeal to Your justice!

If people know what has been done in the pedophilia industry…would it be the tipping point that would wake people up and unite them? Would it bring repentance? Would the church repent? Would many be saved as they learn about what has been going on?

HELP LORD! You alone are our hope. Please have mercy and please expose the sick anathema that has infiltrated this nation and the world.

We do need a global reset! …a return to YOUR WORD!

You alone can do this. I ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ, only begotten Son of the Most High God.

Furnace Prayers: The Untouchables...make haste

Father in heaven,
Lord of my salvation,
Holy Spirit , who keeps my soul…

Good morning. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. You are the God who keeps those who turn to You. I turn to You…please hide me under the shadow of Your wing. Jesus, You are our Advocate. You turn our lives to meaningful work, commissioning us to radiate Your love to those around us. Holy Spirit, You make the day. You direct, You teach, You lead, You strengthen…

Praise be to the God of all Creation: who is, who was, and who is to come. Hallelujah to Your Holy Name! Thanks be to God who provides for every detail in our lives.

You have put the word, “untouchable” on my heart over the last two days. Please lead me and guide my prayer as I contemplate this nation, which I believe is dear to You.

The more I learn about what has been going on behind the scenes…the horrific treatment, especially of children…the more desperate I am to see this nation turned around. You show me this is bigger than here is the US. Relationships across the globe, have come together against You. Truly this is the work of Your adversary.

Father, do I understand that this has been deviously imagined, carefully planned and painstakingly executed over a span of many, many years? This plan against the most vulnerable is greater than can be imagined. Truly it is a cabal…an abominable scheme that is designed, specifically to take down Your Church and Your Nation of Israel and to rule the world. Truly, this is the scheme of the Adversary to spit in Your face.

You have a different plan. Father, I find it so difficult to stay in my lane. You have commissioned me to be the light of Christ and to be savory salt to those around me. But as I learn what is going on, the anger wells up within me. I just want it exposed and stopped. Even those with a very loose moral compass, without any heart for You, would find these things perverted, degenerate and harrowingly alarming.

Masters of cover up.
The people involved in this dreadful and organized design believe they are untouchable. There is so much evidence that they simply eliminate anyone who comes against them. Masters of deception and concealment. This occult can only be from Satan himself.

Thank You for showing me that this scheme is so big, so disgusting… it is so disturbing to even consider that human beings could do such things…truly, it is in the realm of the unthinkable.

Are they really untouchable?
You know every detail, every child they have mangled, every life they have taken. You were there. I weep at the thought of what You have witnessed. But You are the Eternal Witness! Nothing escapes Your knowledge. There is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
You have been aware of every detail of the devastation, the genocide, the torture and the massacre of these children. You have not hidden Your thoughts on this:
Leviticus 18:21
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
This is so beyond me. You are God. It is not beyond You. You are greater than this scheme to rule the world. You are greater than Your enemy Satan. You are from everlasting to everlasting. He is a created being. What is it like to see Your creation turn on You in this way? I am so sorry.

Shine forth!
However, they are not untouchable! You alone can bring this into the Light. Shine forth O God! Shine forth! Shine Your everlasting Son into this situation and bring it all out into the open. Show us what has been happening and the length these people have gone to ensure their secrets, their venues, their desires…remain available.

You promise!
Mark 4:22
“For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.”
You are omniscient, You are omnipresent, and You, You alone are omnipotent: ALL powerful, ALL knowing, ALLways present. You alone can can digest this horrid cabal and You alone can use it for Your glory. You are the only untouchable.

I don’t know how to think about it. I don’t know how to embrace a forgiving spirit. I do not know how to offer compassion or forgiveness on the wickedness that has surfaced.

You tell me You want all men to be saved. I have to leave this with You where these people are concerned. I do not even know how to repent of what I feel in my heart for them. Have mercy on me O God. You have shown me what is going on and it is more than I can bare.

Make haste O God. You are the only One who is untouchable You are the only One who can put an end to what is happening. They are NOT untouchable. Make haste to defy them O God. Make haste to open their inner sanctum of Satan that has been their delightful sanctuary through the years.

Expose them and their repulsive acts…the they may know that You are God…and that we can see the hight of their sinfulness and turn our hearts to You. Please, Lord God of Creation - make haste.

…for this is too much for me. Truly, it is more than I can bare.
Romans 8:25
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
…make haste O God…please...for the children…make haste.
