Heavenly Father:

We hear often, in print and in speeches, something usually attributed to the writer Alexander Toqueville:

"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there. . . . .in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there.  Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.  America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. "

" . . . the original quotation is taken from a letter of Andrew Reed, who visited the United States in the early 1830s and wrote home about it:

“Universal suffrage, whatever may be its abstract merits or demerits, is neither desirable nor possible, except the people are the subjects of universal education and universal piety. America will be great if America is good. If not, her greatness will vanish away like a morning cloud.” (Andrew Reed and James Matheson, A narrative of the visit to the American churches (1835), volume 2, p. 197).

It was often quoted during the nineteenth century. At some point around 1900, it was misattributed to Alexis de Tocqueville, who also traveled to the United States and wrote about it.”

Lord God, whomever originally wrote this, and however often it has been used in a speech or writing, misatributed or not, I believe it to be accurate. Such is also the belief of those who call here and other places for revival and a return to our spiritual roots. We now stand, kneel, and bow before you and humble ourselves before You that You may "giveth grace unto the humble" (James 4)

Help us to have this a revival. Let us fast and pray and return to You, and seek Your face. Heal our land.

Help us to pray for "1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

We have been told that this man, Joseph Biden, is our duly elected President, and that this woman, Kamala Harris, is our duly elected Vice-President, of the United States of America, and that they are in authority. We now forgive all those who have lied to us, and pray for You to bless them with salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

The prophet Jeremiah, in Old Israel, which was about to be invaded and taken away by Nebechadnezzer because of the idolatry and evilness, covers much familiar territory:

Jeremiah 13:18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

You, "King", and "Queen", and all your courtiers, sometimes known as "senators" and "congressmen", and "Judges", we pray now that you all humble yourselves, and seek the face of the Lord, and pray, and turn to the Lord Jesus, and be saved! We ask this blessing of the Lord upon you. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we bind the strongman over you.

Lord God, You lift up and pull down kings and countries. We ask Your mercy and forgiveness, and a harvest amoung all these persons. We pray for the salvation also of Donald Trump and his whole household. We ask protection and blessing and salvation and truth among all branches and persons of our military members and law enforcement, and their blessing, protection, and salvation, and that a just and Constitutional government be returned to this nation. Set a hedge of protection around our broken borders and heal our broken hearts and spirits. Send legions of the heavenly host to destroy the works and the strongholds of Satan. Give us strength and courage to do Your will, what is necessary now. Let what You would have us do result in a fruitful harvest for You in the end. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Joel Chapter 2:11b-18

11b" . . .the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? 12 ¶ Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? 15 ¶ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 18 ¶ Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people."

Dear Lord, we beseech thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !

Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over your children ! Send forth your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !

AMEN !

Amen Lord Jesus, the keepers of the Constitution have lost their way. The One who is greater than the Constitution is the One we must call on. For without you Lord Jesus the Constitution is nothing but a contract that can be manipulated by the devious.

Psalm 73

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Truly God is good to the upright,*
to those who are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
my steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For they have no pain;
their bodies are sound and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not plagued like other people.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
violence covers them like a garment.
7 Their eyes swell out with fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues range over the earth.

10 Therefore the people turn and praise them,*
and find no fault in them.*
11 And they say, ‘How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?’
12 Such are the wicked;
always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 All in vain I have kept my heart clean
and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all day long I have been plagued,
and am punished every morning.

15 If I had said, ‘I will talk on in this way’,
I would have been untrue to the circle of your children.
16 But when I thought how to understand this,
it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then I perceived their end.
18 Truly you set them in slippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed in a moment,
swept away utterly by terrors!
20 They are* like a dream when one awakes;
on awaking you despise their phantoms.

21 When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was stupid and ignorant;
I was like a brute beast towards you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterwards you will receive me with honour.*
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength* of my heart and my portion for ever.

27 Indeed, those who are far from you will perish;
you put an end to those who are false to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
to tell of all your works.
