Abba, Father.
Come now, Holy Spirit, and speak through Your humble servant. Let this prayer be Your prayer – truth in love, salt and light.
And war.
Lord Jesus, ours is a nation in rebellion. Evil is good and good evil. We are as drunkards, teetering at cliff’s edge – haughty, prideful, defiant and soft.
We plead Your return, but tarry as told. We lament, like Lot, that a once great nation has been given over to a reprobate mind.
Sodom crumbles about as we gaze palmward, distracted and glassy-eyed, at shimmering digital confections.
They pound at our temple doors, demanding to know our heavenly hosts.
Yet naught we do.
Save cower.
Your bride has been unfaithful, Lord Jesus. As it was in the days of Noah, we tempt our Lord God.
We entreat Your mercies, but merit Your wrath.
Yours is a righteous anger, Holy Spirit. It indwells, with You, our very soul.
We share in it.
As it was in the days of Noah, so now we eat, drink, marry and give unto marriage.
And as it was in the days of Noah, we arrogantly defy You, presuming to give unto marriage, that which cannot be given. “Vile affections.” A sterile, shameful, feculent mockery of Your masterful design for our fruitful multiplication.
What You cast asunder let no man join together.
Lord have mercy on those precious babes, acquired, like so much chattel, as selfish adults set up to play house.
The intentionally fatherless.
The deliberately motherless.
Be their Father where they have none.
You knew of this before time began.
They tear away at that which You designed and defined.
And so we, Your hands and feet, battle the powers and principalities who pull temporal puppets by marionette strings aflame from the pits of hell.
Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do. We lift up those enslaved by all sins of the flesh. For those who do not, may they come to know You, be justified, sanctified and glorified.
Neither are we without blame.
Forgive us, Lord Jesus. We, Your bride, repent of our own part in this national sin. Forgive us for undermining this gift You have given – for succumbing to the devilish devices of divorce, infidelity and spousal neglect.
For our selfish ambition.
For making unholy, holy matrimony.
Embolden us.
Strengthen us.
Guide and direct us.
Mortify this national sin, oh God.
End it.
Kill it.
This week past we witnessed a circus – a Court called Supreme debated that which is closed for debate.
At least four of the nine appear poised to defy Your Supreme Authority.
Of the others, many a faithful were buoyed by words spoken.
Soften the hardened hearts of those black-robed autocrats who labor under the enemy’s deception, Father God. Humble them. Bless them.
Direct them.
Even still, we gird for battle should Caesar misappropriate that which belongs to You. If this court attempts to do that which cannot be done – if our government defies You, then, with You, it becomes at enmity.
And we, Your faithful, will be marked subversive.
But waiver we shan’t.
Where the contrived “laws” of man are at odds with Your transcendent truths – with Your Law – it is You, oh Lord, to Whom we pledge obedience.
We will not comply with an unjust ruling.
And we will face persecution.
And we will count it all joy.
Because You are sovereign.
And victory is Yours.
God’s likely answer?
“But before you ask this of Me... ask Me personally into your own heart and urge your neighbor to do the same. I don’t even want your good behavior as much as I want you. I will not wave a magic wand to rid of sin because that is not how it is rid.”
Ultimately, remember the love of God, that makes it go.
There is still a way for marriage to be honored in its biblical sense, which is to disregard the government’s role. Boycott the foolishness.
Amen.
HiTech, once again we agree.
I am cleaning my own house and looking to spread the Good News to anyone that will hear. We plant the seed by our actions and words.
The time has come, the time is now, that we citizens refuse to comply with evil laws and urge our Churches/Synagogues to do the same. Encourage them to drop the 501c(3) status. Let them know that your support for G-d’s work will not falter just because you cannot deduct it from your taxes. Now on the issue of personal federal taxes... well, that is for another time. :-)
Get the strength of God back in our households and we might see something Satan never envisioned. We might see homosexuals coming back to the Lord.
I have just a tad of empathy, but no agreement, for the folks seeing the pestilence as being all “someone else” — particularly those noisome, menacing “gays.” Well, what did we allow to grow in OUR gardens?
Why bother praying. This case is fixed.
That is pretty weak, to assume that we must just lie down in our households and let some secular government tell us what marriage is.
Don’t underestimate the power of prayer. Please.......
Sounds nice, but the goal of the Revolution is to abolish marriage entirely. This means that nobody will, legally, be anybody’s “parent.” Nobody will be anybody’s “child.”
Since there will be no “parents,” there obviously can be no private schools or homeschooling. There can be no “churches.” Hillary! has already announced that “churches” serve no purpose—since all many of them do is stand in the way of full access to a complete range of reproducative choices.
There will no longer be any relationship in society other than Bureaucrat and Taxpayer, or, more accurately, Master and Slave.
so, to return to a civil rather than a wild society, the moonbats must be wiped out, to the last trannie
Was just remembering and thinking about this song today.
Paul Stookey– Wedding Song (There Is Love) Lyrics
He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on his part
The union of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love
There is love
Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning, is now until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again
And there is love
There is love
Well then what`s to be reason for becoming man and wife
Is it love that brings you here, or love that brings you life
For if loving is the answer, then who`s the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you`ve never seen before?
Oh, there`s love
Oh there`s love
Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love
Ah there`s love
