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: Their flashlight is a mirror

Father in Heaven,
Son of the Living God,
Holy Spirit,

You have given me a mission. You have heard the desires of my heart and You have answered me. Praise and glory belong to You alone. Glorify Yourself O God, in this situation in the United States. …for You alone are worthy. Rise up and magnify Truth. You are Truth. You alone.

You have placed on my heart that this situation goes much deeper than the election and deeper than this nation. I have petitioned You on how I am to respond. What is my role? What can I do? And You have answered me.

Please, You are Omniscient, You are Omnipresent, You are Omnipotent:
I praise You and bring You Your uncompromising Truth from Your Word!
Psalm 139 which tells us:
You are Omniscient. You are all knowing.

1 O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

You are Omnipresent. You are everywhere at once.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

You are Omnipotent. You are all powerful:

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Your Word is Truth and cannot be denied. I come to You…a sinner, saved by grace. You have brought information to me and pressed upon me to do something! My soul screams before You as to what I can do! Yes, You have answered me.

This nation needs to wake up. We need to SEE what has been going on and what continues to go on. You have given me this voice and this online platform. I want to use it to help people SEE. Please help me expose only the Truth. You alone know full Truth, so I depend on You to ensure what I write. Please remember that I am fallible, a sinner.

I continue with Your Word:
Psalm 139:

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

Back to Egypt, Pharaoh, Moses, and the Israelites:
From Exodus 14.
So Pharaoh finally let them go…but only after his son was taken from him. But then, pressured by his people, he pursued after them with all his mighty forces. He saw Israel with the Sea in front of them and thought they were caught.

All of Israel was afraid! Filled with fear! (v10)…and blamed Moses. (v12) What did Moses say, " Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” (v 13-14).

What did You do?

• — You told Moses to speak and stretch out his hands.
• — and You commanded that Israel Go Forward. (v15)
• — You hardened the hearts of the Egyptians…they stubbornly pursued Israel. (v18)


• — You protected Israel all night! Placing YOURSELF between Egypt and Israel (v20) …while all was made ready. (v21)
• — When Egypt came after them, You sabotaged them stranding them between the walls of water. (v23-25)
• –Then You commanded Moses to finish them up by commanding the waters to return, and buried the Egyptian army. (v26-28).

Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent God:
Everything “they” accuse us of doing and being…is a projection of their actions. Is this true? They proclaim their sin on us to cover their evil workings…You know! You see! You have the power to expose and stop it!

Once again, there are so many similarities, O God. I bring them before You regarding the United States. You are a righteous God. Have mercy on me.

Please consider this prayer before You.

• — Please place Yourself between us and the enemy that we may do the work before us. Part the sea of deception and disinformation –that we may see Light.
• — This nation is also at a crossroads and many simply want to move on (go back to Egypt and bondage!)
• — We are in a new kind of war: The war of information and biological warfare.
• — We are stranded in the wilderness with so much information that Truth is hidden by powerful people.
• — We have been filled with fear regarding this virus and we struggle to know if we have been duped. There are so many questions:
  • Is the virus really as lethal as we are led to believe?
  • Was it a ploy to get people to receive a dangerous vaccine?
  • What about what people are finding in the testing swabs?
  • What about the pedophilia…is there really a cabal?

BIG QUESTION:
Are their accusations, their flashlight into every detail, a mirror of what they are doing? What about the Satanic worship? He has conspired against You from his desire to take Your place …to be as God. (Isaiah 14:14)

Father, the numbers don’t add up. People are having gross and terrible reactions to the vaccine. People are finding alarming stuff in the swabs. Evidence of deep, global pedophilia rings are surfacing. Satanic worship is coming forefront and some proclaim it to be good! There is a global attempt to take over this world — Not surprising!

Help us do our homework!

You know the people who want to reduce the world’s population, take control of the food chain, promote food that You never intended us to eat. You know the players who steal and destroy children. You know those who have given over their souls to Your adversary. Indeed, You have called him our adversary.

Petition:

• 1. We have been sleeping. We have chosen to be ignorant. The Truth is so gruesome, we have chosen not to look. Forgive us.
• 2. Wake us up. Strengthen us to look at what is going on.
• 3. Give us time and direction to uncover Truth.
• 4. Give us courage to speak out what we find.
• 5. Give us compassion to those in opposition, that they might be won over.

Again, Psalm 139:

20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Have mercy O God. Wake us up. You use people to do Your work here. Equip us for the battle with Truth that will bring unity. Protect us for this work.

For Your sake. That they may know that You are the LORD. …and for the children. O God, for the children.

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.

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.
