We come today as the body of Christ in this nation, to lift up our President, Donald J. Trump. As many voices rise up against this one You have set into office, we lift up our voices, with one heart and mind, to stand in agreement with heaven’s purposes concerning our nation. (Ps 133)
We stand by this President who has declared this nation to be under God’s rule and authority and seeks righteousness and justice for our nation. (Ps 89:14)
We welcome and embrace the fear of the Lord as the standard for all righteous rule and repent for the ways in which we have bowed to the fear of man. Cleanse our hearts and renew our minds that we may walk in the light of Your truth. (Ps 43:3)
We ask that President Trump would delight in the fear of the Lord in order to walk in the power of Your might and the wisdom of Your ways. (Mi 3:8)
May righteousness and faithfulness be his portion so that he may render righteous judgments according to Your Word. (Is 11:3-5)
We ask that President Trump would show no fear toward the evil that assails him (Is 8:12), but rather overcome it with a zeal and passion for Your laws which bring life and liberty to all. (Pr 10:29-32)
May he love Your Word and seek your wisdom diligently (Pr 8:17), remaining open and teachable to godly counsel and heaven’s wisdom. (Pr 1:7)
We thank You that his heart is in Your hands and that You will direct it according to Your will and purpose. Grant him increased grace and blessing as he heeds your voice and obeys Your word. (Pr 21:1)
We declare over President Trump that he will have true judgments by the Spirit and not according to man. (Is 11:3-4)
We declare that he will possess heaven’s knowledge with shrewdness of mind in making right decisions for the good of the people. (Pr 8:12)
Fill his mouth with good things (Pr 16:9-13) that he may speak what is true and right. (Pr 8:6)
We pray that he will use his God-given authority to execute justice and establish righteousness in this land for the sake of Your glory and Kingdom. (Gen 49:10, Ps 60:7)
We declare that he will rule in the midst of his enemies, not backing down or wavering due to threats or intimidation (Ps 110:1-2, Eph 6:13).
May his ears become deaf to the assaults from his enemies and may those who seek his life answer to You for their wicked ways. May he know that it is Your hand and Your sovereign purpose that is keeping him and sustaining him in his divine commission. (Ps 38:12-15)
Keep President Trump, and those who serve him, safe from the enemy’s snares and free from the accuser’s traps. (Ps 141:9-10)
By Your great hand, Lord, deal with those who oppose righteousness and justice so that all men will know it is You alone who is sovereign and true. (Ps 64:6-9)
May the fire of Your presence burn up all Your enemies and consume all those who stand against You concerning our destiny and inheritance as one nation under God. (Ps 97:1-6)
Thank you, Father, for hearing our prayers and empowering us as Kingdom ambassadors on the earth. From the highest office in the land to the least known among men, may we all seek to know You more intimately, serve You more passionately, and praise You more fully so that all men will be saved. Through the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

A Prayer for President Trump from IFA
Friday, December 11, 2020
Time on the Clock
Let us ask God to "remember" us; the righteous who are waiting on God to move. Abraham had conversations with God, and God was moved. Remember? Genesis 18:16-33. What about Jonah 3:10? Our God wants to have conversations with us, His children; I get it.
Are you a parent? Don't you love it when your grown children WANT TO or better yet, CHOOSE TO spend time with you? I know I never want my adult children to feel they HAVE to be with me. Right? Isn't that how we are wired? Well, who wired us? Who are we created in the image of? Y'all, God wants us to WANT Him because we like hanging out with Him - not because it is a duty as a Christian or a "have to", like to be saved. He doesn't want us to want Him for what He can do FOR us; although He loves to "do" for us, it's about being WITH Him. Think as a parent and it will help you shift in your heart toward the Lord. If you are not a parent, maybe you are married, or you are in a dating situation but anyway you slice it, I tell you, the same questions will apply. Do you WANT people to WANT to be with you? Even if you don't have a significant "other", you STILL desire your friends to WANT to be with you... it's how we were designed - for mutual relationship; both parties pursuing the time together!Saint's, an athlete doesn't leave the field when the clock is still running. Right? They use up the clock; they finish the game. We get that in sports but again, this is a type of modeling as well. Let us not grow weary friends (Galatians 6:9) - there is still time on the clock!I have a friend who is a Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor award winner for basketball. He got this achievement because of his ability to teach his players how to manage the ball, and his ability to use the clock in his favor. MANY games were nail-biters, but he had many more wins than losses because of his ability to know how to play his sport.
Y'all, I believe God is waiting for us... we think we are waiting for Him. Ask Him. He wants to have THAT conversation with you. He wants to find us and meet with us in the midst of this storm... it's what He does.
Maranatha.

Psalm 91 Prayer
In boldness, we decree that You are our refuge and our fortress, Our God, in You we will trust.
We trust you as [see the names of God list and insert here those names here].
Surely You deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. You cover us with Your feathers, and under Your wings we take refuge.
Your truth is our shield and buckler.
We are not afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness, nor the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand. But it shall not come near us.
Only with our eyes shall we look and see the reward of the wicked
Because we have made the Lord who is our refuge even the Most High our dwelling place. No evil shall befall us, and no plague shall come near our dwelling for You have given Your angels charge over us to keep us in all of our ways. In their hands they shall bear us up lest we should dash our foot against a stone.
We shall tread upon the lion and the cobra and the young lion and the serpent we shall trample underfoot.
We have set our love upon You, Father, and therefore You will deliver us. You will set us on high because we have known Your name. We have known You as [see the names of God list and insert those names here].
We shall call upon You and You will answer us. You will be with us in trouble. You will deliver us and honor us. With long life, You will satisfy us and show us Your salvation.
We thank You for this in Yeshua’s Name…
Our Savior. Our Deliverer. Our Mashiach. The Messiah. The Anointed One.
Amen.

Pulled You Out...
Out of that pit.
Out of that prison.
Out of that pain.
I would have cheated nations out of the one God would use to deliver them from famine.
Out of Saul’s spear-throwing presence.
Out of the caves he hid away in.
Out of the pain of rejection.
I would have cheated Israel out of a God-hearted king.
Out of being snatched from her only family.
Out of being placed in a position she never asked for.
Out of the path of a vicious, power-hungry foe.
I would have cheated a people out of the woman God would use to save their very lives.
Off of the cross.
Off of the road that led to suffering and pain.
Off of the path that would mean nakedness and beatings, nails and thorns.
I would have cheated the entire world out of a Savior. Out of salvation. Out of an eternity filled with no more suffering and no more pain.
I want to change your path.
I want to stop your pain.
But right now I know I would be wrong.
I would be out of line.
I would be cheating you and cheating the world out of so much good.
Because God knows.
He knows the good this pain will produce.
He knows the beauty this hardship will grow.
He’s watching over you and keeping you even in the midst of this.
He’s promising you that you can trust Him.
Even when it all feels like more than you can bear.
I’m kneeling before the Father and I’m asking Him to give you strength.
To give you hope.
I’m asking Him to protect you and to move you when the time is right.
I'm asking Him to help you stay prayerful and discerning.
I'm asking Him how I can best love you, and be a help to you.
I’m believing He’s going to use your life in powerful and beautiful ways.
Ways that will leave your heart grateful and humbly thankful for this road you’ve been on.

Psalm 91 - Pray Every Word Over Yourself Daily
Psalm 91 - Pray Every Word Over Yourself Daily
A friend shared this (Joe) and so I took some liberties (making it first person) and posted it here. A good word for all of us in these days.
_________
When I dwell in the shelter of the Most High, I will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my Elohai (G-d), in Whom I trust.”
For He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover me with his pinions, and under His wings I will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler. I will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it (the terror, arrows, pestilence, darkness, or destruction) will not come near me. I will only look with my eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because I have made the Lord my dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge—no evil shall be allowed to befall me, no plague come near my tent.
For He will command His angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways. On their (the angels’) hands they will bear me up, lest I strike my foot against a stone. I will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent I will trample underfoot.
“Because I hold fast to God in love, God will deliver me; He will protect me, because I know His name. When I call to Him, He will answer me; God will be with me in trouble; God will rescue me and honor me (because I held onto Him). With long life God will satisfy me and show me His salvation.”

Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada that you "reveal deep and hidden things. You know what lies in darkness. Light dwells with You.” (Daniel 2:22) Please bring to light and expose every lie, deceit, deception, misrepresentation and illegal act intended to “steal, kill and destroy" the electoral process and the expressed will of the citizens and these states. (John 10:10).
PRAYER POINT THREE: Frustrate those who seek to steal, kill, and destroy electoral integrity and authentic, accurate vote counts in these battleground states. Heavenly Father, please, “Frustrate the plotting of the shrewd so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise or attain success." May no weapon formed intended to steal, kill and destroy the authentic, accurate vote count and expressed will of the people in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada "be allowed to prosper." (Isaiah 54:17).
PRAYER POINT FOUR: Frustrate and thwart the plans of those who attempt to sabotage the state’s election laws and subvert the expressed will of the people. Heavenly Father, please “Capture the wise by their own shrewdness and quickly thwart the advice of the cunning” (Job 5:12) whose intention is to sabotage and subvert state and federal election law and the expressed will of the people in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada. "Hold them guilty O LORD, by their own devices let them fall.” (Psalm 5:10)
PRAYER POINT FIVE: Psalm 5 for protection and favor for President Trump Heavenly Father, please “Give ear to President’ Trump’s words, O LORD, consider President Trump’s groaning. Heed the sound of his cry for help, His King and His God. For to You does he pray. In the morning O LORD, you will hear his voice; in the morning, he will order his prayer to you and eagerly watch. For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil dwells with You. The boastful shall to stand before Your enemies; You hate all who do iniquity. Destroy those who speak falsehood You abhor the man of bloodshed and deceit. But as for President Trump by Your abundant lovingkindness he will enter Your house. At your holy temple, he will bow in reverence for you. Lord, please lead President Trump in Your righteousness because of his foes. Make his way straight before him. There is nothing reliable in what they say; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. Hold them guilty, O God, by their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out for they are rebellious against You. But let President Trump take refuge in You and be glad. Let him ever sing for joy. May you shelter him. May he who loves Your name exult in You. Bless President Trump, O LORD. Surround him with favor as with a shield.” Heavenly Father, please give supernatural wisdom, strength and discernment to the President and his advisors regarding how to navigate the road ahead. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
It is alleged that Michele Bachman was part of creating this prayer list.

Disappointment
Back in the late '70's, this song was one of the great pieces the Lord used to minister to me in my youth, now He is bringing it to me again. Pay attention when the Lord shows you pieces like this...He is so intentional and so with us. Here are some of the words from the song:
He didn't bring us this far to leave us
He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown
He didn't build His home in us to move awayHe didn't lift us up to let us down
Thursday was a difficult day for me and then Friday night, was really hard. I had a long an painful conversation with a younger man. The meeting was full of confrontation and accusation. I listened, tried to minister, repented, and went to bed exhausted.
Saturday came and again, a totally NEW discussion with another young person and more to wade through with the Lord.
Then Sunday came. Well, I totally wasn't ready for the amount of sadness that hit my heart but that wasn't the end because on Monday we read an email that put the cherry on top. Day-after-day was set back, discouragement, disappointment and that didn't include the information regarding a close friend's husband's medical lab results regarding a mass in his colon and then the follow-up report on Tuesday from the surgeon and he used the word; cancer.
Sounds like a lot, right, but that is not the end. Late last night I read a text from a family member about a close-friends daughter who lost her fight with cancer. She was under the age of 40 with small children still at home. I mean, come on friends; life seems to be challenging, right?
So now today. Today I started the day with a word from the Lord. I really had the word from Him on Sunday, but had been chewing on it for a couple of days. You see, when things happen, I don't just land in the place of what I think, or what I think I know; I really try to stop and let the Lord into the conversation. So what was the word that was ringing in my soul? Disappointment.
I kept pressing the Lord, asking, What are you saying, Lord? Then I kept hearing from Him, "He who has an ear, let him hear". These words are found over and over in the bible. You find them in, Matthew 11:15, Revelation 2:29, Revelation 2:7, and several other places in Revelation. God is trying to tell us something. John 10:27 says, His sheep hear His voice. We need to be hearing God, and not even leaning on what others are saying.
Now, this morning I got up with the Lord and looked it up that word,
disappointment. What does it mean. Here is what I found:
noun 1. sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations. 2. a person, event, or thing that causes disappointment.
I did some more research. regarding the emotion of disappointment I read, "as an emotion, researches describe disappointment as a form of sadness - a feeling of loos, an uncomfortable space (or a painful gap) between our expectations and reality. When we believed that there's something we must have to be happy and fulfilled, we can set ourselves up for disappointment."
I wasn't done though, I then found a stronger word for disappointed. Here is that list, "saddened, upset, let down, disheartened, downhearted, cast down, downcast, depressed, dispirited, discouraged, despondent, dismayed, crestfallen, distressed, chagrined, disenchanted, disillusioned, displeased, discontented, dissatisfied, frustrated, disgruntled." Wow. Ok. There were a couple of words here that hit something deep in me when I read them. They triggered words from the bible. The first word was, "cast down", followed by "downcast".
Upon looking up the word, downcast, I found,
adjective, 1. (eyes) looking downward 2. feeling despondent.
I then had to open up the bible. The first verse that came to mind was, 2 Corinthians 10:5,
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and brining into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ.
You all, we need to repent for living from a place of the world, when we should be living from a place heaven. We should not be living in mixture.
I then went to, 2 Corinthians 4:9-11,
persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about int he body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
When looking for scriptures about being "downcast" I came across, Psalms 42:5. I read it from The Voice.
"Why am I so overwrought? Why am I so disturbed? Why can't I just hope in God? Despite all my emotions, I will believe and praise the One who save me and is my life."
Then I read on to verse 6,
"My God, my soul is so traumatized; the only help is remembering You wherever I may be;"
In verse 5 it CLEARLY talks about what we will believe DESPITE all of our emotions. Then in verse 6 the word says, because our "soul is so traumatized". See, our pain is real, but it is in our SOUL... our mind, our will, and our emotions. We, being born-again believers, need to choose to live from our Spirit. That is where we live from. We choose to crucify our soul. Father, shift me. I want to live from a place in the Spirit, not my soul, in Jesus' mighty name. Lord, I repent of being saddened, upset, let down, disheartened, downhearted, cast down, downcast, depressed, dispirited, discouraged, despondent, dismayed, crestfallen, distressed, chagrined, disenchanted, disillusioned, displeased, discontented, dissatisfied, frustrated, disgruntled.
Y'all - when we are discouraged, disappointed, disgruntled, any of these places of being downcast, we need to FIND the Lord. We fall through all the places we THOUGHT we believed and we land at the feet of Jesus and begin to build there, from what we KNOW we believe. Make sense?
Here is where I land, my foundation; Father, I know that you are real. I know that you sent your son, Jesus, to die for me. Jesus, I know that you love me. I know that you care for me. I know Father, that you sent your Spirit and that you never leave me or forsake me; you are with me, even to the end of the age. I know that I can trust you, even when I can't see what you are doing. I go through what I believe. Why do I do this? Because it matters what I believe. It matters too what YOU believe; because forms your worldview. We need to start with what God says. Then we build from there.
For those of you who grew up in a denominational church, you may remember how you would recite the Apostle creeds. That is what those believers were establishing. They were putting into their soul, what they believed. We have gotten so far from this foundation. We need to begin to encounter the Lord again in the places of our foundational beliefs. There were also two other creeds at the foundation of Christianity. The other two were the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creeds. They are very similar to the Apostle's creed.
When you are going through a trial; when you are disappointed, you need to KNOW what you believe and you need to tell yourself the truth of that belief; the truth that is found in the Word. See we have to speak to our circumstances because our mind will be telling us all kinds of things to believe when you are discouraged. See, that is why we are disappointed; because we are listening to our minds (our soul - the mind, the will, the emotions) and not listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying. We have to land in what the Lord says, not our opinions.
Jeremiah 31:3 — I have loved you with an everlasting love; out of faithfulness, I have drawn you close. We have to remind ourselves of the truth found in the word.
Psalm 45:1 (Contemporary English Version) — my thoughts are filled with beautiful words for the King, and I will use my voice, as a writer would use pen and ink. Also read it in the Christian Standard Bible. We write prophesies to the Lord, with our words and we want to land in what God says, not what we think. This is what Jeremiah was doing. He was reciting before the Lord.
Zephaniah 3:17 (the Voice) — the Eternal your God is standing right here among you, and He is the champion who will rescue you. He will joyfully celebrate over you; He will rest in His love for you; He will joyfully sing because of you like a new husband. Think about how happy a new husband is over his new wife. That is what the Lord feels like about you. He loves you! He is for you!
II Corinthians 4:8-12 — we are hard-pressed on every side but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed. We are choosing to live from our spirit because we rendered that soul dead.

AWAKE and ARISE!
First, here is the word from Rebecca Shocklee: Judges 7 — I woke up this morning and Holy Spirit lead me to read this chapter in Judges! ! You guys We are the Lord's Army! We Only Fear the Lord and with Fierce Faith, we will Arise and Overcome!
God is raising up His Gideon’s in the earth— some of those who thought they were the least, the weakest, or most insignificant in their tribe. God is saying, “Arise, Arise, Mighty warriors! Those of you who I’ve called by name, those who have been faithful, obedient, and fearless, those who know me, you are significant in my eyes! I’ve watched you press through and this is the time to Shine! I’m calling you forth to the front lines! Take your position of authority and Arise, watch me move through you for this battle is all mine! I will release a sound through you that will make the enemy tremble! My anointing is upon you and you will see a move of my Spirit that will shake the nations to their knees. I will use you in this hour to be Brave and to Believe! Revival is being ignited through the awakening of my presence! My presence will cause many to come to repentance! And You will see my miraculous victories! Not by your might nor by your power by but my Spirit says the Lord! Blow the Trumpet! Raise the Torch! Sound the Alarm! My Army is assembling and I will be your voice! My power will not be found in numbers but in the spirit of your purity and unity! I will breathe on you and you will go wherever I send you! My Glory will be upon you like flames of fire! Nothing will stand in your way! I myself go before you and prepare the way! “- Rebecca Shocklee
Then, here is a song (also authored by her) and posted October 6. Are you AWAKE?

If You Don't Believe - Fine.
this topic.
If you don't believe in the Trinity of God; fine. Why is it so important for many of you to mock those of us that do? If we're wrong, what have we lost when we die? Nothing! But the question is, what have YOU lost if we are right? How does our believing in Jesus bring you any harm?
Many have stated (on late-night talk shows to daytime news and even on my own social media pages) that they think believers are stupid. Gullible. Uneducated. Uninformed. Fill-in-the-blank...fine. How does our believing affect your non-believing?
We share our faith because we know that If you're wrong (regarding life apart from God after death) that your consequence will be eternal and far worse than you can imagine. We too once believed apart from God. Believers in Christ know that when we live our lives believing Jesus and serving Him, there is a reward - eternal life with Him. We know that after our last breath leaves our body, we all will live somewhere, but our option to choose where will be sealed at our death and it will be too late; our decision will be final.
There's no shame for the follower of Christ even though many want to ridicule the Christian, mock their beliefs, belittle their intelligence, and devalue their choices when it comes to faith! We believe in Jesus Christ. He said...if you deny me in front of your friends and I will deny you in front of my Father (Matthew 10:33). He can't be played and He is COMING BACK for those who believe...
Years ago, I found this message from Penn Jillette. He is magician that works in Las Vegas. He posted it on July 8, 2010. Believer, we need to SHARE what we believe because the world needs to hear what you know. Penn shared, "If you believe that there is a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell, or not getting eternal life or whatever, and you think that, ah, well, it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward; and atheists who think that people shouldn't apostatize, just leave me alone, keep your religion to yourself,... ah, how much do you have to hate somebody to NOT proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that ever-lasting life is possible and not tell them that?"The Greatest man in history had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered death, hell, and the grave and every power and demon in hell fears Him and His name.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
His name is Jesus!
He is the son of God.
He will be coming back for His bride (the church).
Every knee shall bow (Philippians 2: 10-11) and every tongue will confess (Romans 14:11) that Jesus Christ IS Lord.
Friends, choose this day who you will serve! (Joshua 24: 14-15). I will serve the Lord. Maranatha.

Stand In The Gap
With the releasing of the information that Hillary was behind the Russia hoax, it is clear that some people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. As corrupt as the FBI and possibly Secret Service has become, I believe our President could have been contaminated on purpose, for that matter, everyone in his inner circle, as we are hearing more and more people now have tested positive who are close to the President. It is the timing... they didn’t expose each other (look at the outbreak timing) to this virus as they were all together – exposed simultaneously apparently at the Rose Garden event.
With that, I want to say, that many people around the nation are increasingly testing positive and many of them never even know they were sick. Testing positive does not mean impending death. In fact, quite the opposite. The more positive tests followed by less deaths means this virus is not of the magnitude we were told it would be at the beginning - when we shut everything down. The numbers are exposing the lies and the agenda! The numbers are also showing us how God is working! Thank you, Father!
We should not be surprised, if this was an attack, as the enemy has tried everything else but has failed. If people paid millions of dollars for a fake dossier, what’s another few millions to a Secret Service or FBI Agent or someone close to the President who can infect him (and those near him) just 30 days before the election with the virus?Prophetically, we have been warned that things are going to get muddy here; in the days heading to the election. We are seeing that. Let us take this information and always apply it toward how we pray! God is revealing to us the pieces so we will stand in the gap in prayer! Father, we ask for angels to encircle the president, defend those protecting the principles of the Constitution, and intercede for those holding up this great nation. Father, in Jesus name, we need your angel armies to defend the very foundations of this republic! We are in a war with not a single bullet being fired! Awaken your intercessors, your church, believers and followers of Jesus, to take their positions on the wall for battle. We need to hold the line in Jesus’ name!
Father, we put our trust in you! Lord keep the President healthy, safe from harm and effective for your plans to be established. Remind us to keep him in our prayers; day and night. Father, may your children declare a fast and pray for our nation and leaders as we now are voting for the future of this nation! This is a spiritual battle being played out in full sight.
Y’all, we have been praying for the president to be protected from assassination attempts… but again, I think most of us are of the mindset that the weapon used against him would be in the form of bullets or explosives… not germ warfare or biomedical or who knows what. We need to sharpen our game, expand our influence and take spiritual territory in Jesus’ name! Awaken!
The last administration had access for eight years; and evil doesn’t think like you think. We have to ask the Lord to show us how to pray. To the pure, all things are pure. We don’t know how to pray against sinister if we are not of that mindset. Father, tear down the strongholds, show us what you want us to pray! We need you Lord to show us what we are dealing with. We just don’t think this way. Father, teach us your ways and strategies!
Let us remember, that the enemy (the devil) always overplays his hand. Satan thought, if he could kill Jesus, put him in the grave, then he would win… but as we all know, that wasn’t the case! That was just the beginning of our victory in Christ. The devil always overplays his hand. That is what is going on now. We must pray and seek the Lord. God is with us! I believe this attack (COVID being unleashed on many, now in the inner circles of the President), has even moved on the hearts of many American people who didn’t like Donald Trump. Many are now “praying” for him; even Nancy Pelosi said she is praying for his healing. God will use this to soften hearts.
What I’m saying is this, just because people are twisted in their political beliefs, doesn’t mean they are all sinister. I believe, as people will pray for the healing of
Donald Trump, their hearts will soften. That is why we are to pray for our enemies. God wants to soften our hearts for his kingdom to come… this is not about our agenda. God will use this too, for good; for the saving of many lives!I have heard of people, who were invited to the White House last week, who are also now Covid positive. I heard of a friend’s pastor who was in Washington DC as a special guest at the White House event and is now COVID positive too. Timing is suspicious and many are using the word, “sabotage”! Let us pray that the Lord will expose and defeat any and all attempts against our president, his administration, and let us pray that the Lord’s kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven, in Jesus mighty name!We pray also for Melania, Ronna, Kellyanne and several other high level Republicans including all the Senators who will be voting for Amy Coney Barrett. Healing and protection in Jesus mighty name!
Let us be faithful with what we are called to do! Father we ask you for miracles; for the healing of our president, his wife, his cabinet, those close to him, and Father, we pray for healing of our nation! In Jesus’ mighty name! Maranatha.

We Are In A Battle
I am up as it is 1:30AM. I had been asleep and then the Lord woke me to pray so I pray.
I am asking the Lord to heal our land. We have heard people say, “wearing a mask says you care” and now we hear our POTUS and his First Lady have tested positive and I hear the same voices gloating. The depravity, hate, unforgiveness, anger, well just plain evil is running deep in our nation... our “Christian” nation. Father, forgive us!!
I encourage you to slowly read through these 5 verses and then actively pray for the names of the people you hear as you read the list! God is inviting you to intercede for these people; maybe even your own name!
Here is the list again: There will be terrible times and people will be...
- lovers of themselves
- lovers of money
- boastful
- proud
- abusive
- disobedient to their parents
- ungrateful
- unholy
- without love
- unforgiving
- slanderous
- without self-control
- brutal
- not lovers of the good
- treacherous
- rash
- conceited
- lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
- have a form of godliness but denying its power
What does this have to do with the link I shared you may ask?
Well, today our commander and chief, his wife and several in his closest circles are being attacked! Think of a war scenario; IF the leaders of your army are attacked, there is great danger of the entire army failing! Our leadership in our nation has been attacked and the enemy has breached the walls! WE ARE THE WATCHMAN ON THE WALLS! This has happened right under our noses! It starts with us; with our “effective, fervent prayers” of the saints! We want to see the Lord HEAL OUR LAND but we have more advancement from the enemy... why? Because we have to rid ourselves of the things listed in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and put on James 5:16. Here is James 5:16 (again in the New International Version) —
We have to CONFESS our junk (like the list in 2 Timothy 3:1-5) and THEN our prayers become effective AND powerful! We can’t have both - mixture!

Witchcraft in the Camp
Jesus is the ONLY way to Jehovah God through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Trinity. The tree in one. The ONLY true God. ALL other religions, practices, forms of spirituality are FALSE! Period.
This was right under our noses but most of us didn't even hear it. The enemy, (Lucifer - as we don't wrestle with flesh and blood) has Biden calling on a Muslim god to be released into the debates.
DEAR CHRISTIAN - it is time to up our steadfastness. WE NEED TO BE IN PRAYER! WE NEED TO BE FASTING! WE NEED TO BE STANDING ON THE WALL - the enemy is trying to take out our gates and invade our nation!
Just last week while praying, the Lord led me to a new level of awareness about this piece of "witchcraft" that is moving in our CHRISTIAN nation. He spoke to my spirit and said, "Oh you foolish Americans, who has bewitched you?" I immediately knew what scripture He was referencing and went to look it up. Galatians 3:1-3 in the NIV is where you will find the reference; Oh you foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?
People, OUR nation has allowed the evil one to penetrate our culture; through abortion (the sacrificing of innocent lives to Moloch), the "spirit cooking" (demonic rituals including cannibalism), the witchcraft through "secret societies" like Freemasonry, and elitists groups like the Bohemian Grove and Skull and Bones. Now add to all this past breakdown we have these witches who founded black lives matter are outwardly speaking about allowing the "dead" (ancestors and other people recently who died) to "work through them". They are allowing demons to talk to them, teach them, instruct them; and they are openly talk about how they are responding to those dead spirits. They call it "honoring". Don't believe me...here is a link regarding a discussion at the Fowler Museum at UCLA with Patrisse Cullors and Melina Abdullah on June 13, 2020 talking about Black Lives Matter (BLM). (NOTE: This link has a video that loops three times at the beginning talking about the "prayer" of the ancestors. It is looped intentionally to try and suck you in through the evil of the spirit. This whole movement [BLM] is tethered into African mysticism, talking to the dead [ancestral work], Hinduism as well as this thing they call "spiritualism"; you can see what I am talking about in this video. You can skip forward to 18:12 to get past the loop.)
They go on to talk about "shredding". Again, this is spiritual activation of what they want to have done in the natural. For a comparison; as a believer we eat bread and drink wine and we do this as an act of covenant with Jesus, remembering what He did for us on the cross. Satan is activating these witches to "acts" that are representing something. Kind of like a voodoo doll.
Then she talks about "repetition". Again, this is a counterfeit to what God established; meditation. God told us to meditate on the Word of God. To hide God's Word in our heart so we don't sin against Him. How do we memorize the Word? Through repetition. That is why this video started out with 3 repeats of her "practice".
Let me say, I believe black people matter. I also believe brown, yellow, white and ALL people matter. Wow - wake up believer. RUN from this evil. As children of the living God we are to have NOTHING to do with this witchcraft. It is NOT of Jehovah God! Father, forgive us! Jesus come! Maranatha!
*Here is a teaching by Spencer Smith on Beyonce, Black is King, BLM and Black Magic. He goes into more depth of the evil implications and what the Word of God has to say about this.

The Bible on the Death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Our nation is in the valley of decision! God is dealing with us, our choices, what we support, who and what we defend. This is a sobering read addressing the rulings that Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiated over as a judge in the highest court in our land and her current status of living in eternity. One day, we too will stand before Him and give our account (Romans 14:12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10) of our lives while lived in our bodies here on earth. She has finished her time, her days on earth have expired and her time to choose has closed. Heaven is a kingdom set up outside of this box we call time - there is no limit our counting of days in Heaven but THIS earth is structured and framed differently; we live inside this structure called time. Let us choose to use our time wisely here on this earth as we too, will, like Ruth, see time come to an end as we step through the veil of earth into eternity.
Upon hearing of her death, I too was moved to the reality of reflecting on her life as now she is living after death, outside of time, where will she live out her eternity. Sobering knowing how she lived and ruled and then weighing that before the scriptures. We all will live out eternity somewhere as we all have a spirit that is eternal; made in the image of God. May we walk humbly and choose to live as pleasing to the Lord on this earth and may we daily choose to walk in His ways! It is written that every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ IS Lord! (Romans 14:11, Philippians 2: 10-11).
We serve a Holy God who desires our praise, our glory, and our life surrendered to him, to walk in Holiness. Maranatha!

JEREMIAH JOHNSON’S OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO THE DEATH OF R.B.G.
“Parts of the American Church have become so lukewarm that they would have tried to comfort Jezebel on a sickbed that GOD himself threw her on! (Revelation 2:22) They would have highlighted her accomplishments over the years and found the good in her. They would have found ways to celebrate Hitler and King Herod- all in the name of false justice and an unbiblical definition of love.
Folks, I’m going to keep sounding the alarm as long as I have breath in my lungs... Too many American Christians have created a god made in their own image and not the God of the Bible. And for all those living under delusional “New Covenant” false grace that prevents God’s justice and wrath from being active, please look over these Scriptures.
1. John 3:36 The wrath of God is currently and continually abiding upon all those who reject Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
2. Acts 5:1-16 Ananias and Sapphira (believers) are struck down dead for lying to the Holy Spirit.
3. Acts 12:20-24 King Herod is struck dead by an angel of the Lord for not giving God glory.
4. Acts 13:8-11 Elymas the magician is struck blind “by the hand of the Lord” for being a fraud and son of the devil.
5. Romans 1:18-24 The wrath of God is revealed toward humanity by allowing them to reap what they sow. “Therefore God gave them over”.
6. 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 The immoral brother is judged and handed over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh.
7. 1 Corinthians 11:27-34 Believers are judged and become sick, some even die, for not judging themselves before partaking of the Lord’s supper.
8. I Timothy 1:20 Hymenaeus and Alexander were delivered to Satan for Blasphemy.
9. Revelation 2:22-23 NET - Jezebel is thrown on a bed or violent sickness and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, unless they repent of her deeds. Furthermore, I [Jesus] will strike her followers with a deadly disease, and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay each one of you what your deeds deserve."
Ruth Bader Ginsburg ruled repeatedly on the side of infanticide, partial-birth infanticide, homosexual 'marriage' (and officiated homosexual 'weddings'), against religious liberties, and saw to it that the Supreme Court stopped dating their documents 'In the Year of our Lord.' Ginsburg has now discovered that there is a court higher than the one called 'Supreme' and she does not sit in the seat of the judge, but as the defendant.
She will answer to a holy God who remembers every ounce of bloodshed she is responsible for and every act of abomination she approved of. The justice of God knows no delay, and the law of God knows no limits.”
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27).
"...when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy" (Proverbs 11:10).
God will repay her according to the deeds she has done!
