Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)

FATHER GOD,

I will give thanks to You, LORD, with all my heart. I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds. (Psalm 9:1)

In the Last Days You warned us there would be a great falling away of the faith.

”You will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are My followers. And many will turn away from Me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:9-14)

Help us, like Your servant, Jude, contend for the faith.

Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that GOD has entrusted once for all time to His holy people. I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that GOD’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and LORD, JESUS CHRIST. (Jude 1:1-4)

Give us unction to study the Scriptures. May we work hard so we can present ourselves to You and receive Your approval. May we be good workers, ones who do not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)

May HOLY SPIRIT give us boldness to defend the truth against those who seek to undermine and redefine it. May we be aware of Apostle Paul's concern:

But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to CHRIST will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different JESUS than the One we preach, or a different kind of SPIRIT than the One you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4)

LORD, raise us up to defend the faith that You entrusted once for all time to Your holy people. Let us not be silent and allow those around us to be persuaded to believe a different kind of gospel than the one we believe. LORD, help us to be instruments of Your love in a lost and dying world.

You, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the HOLY SPIRIT and await the mercy of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in GOD’s love.

And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. (Jude 1:20-23)

And, LORD, as we are given divine appointments to shine the light of JESUS to those around us, help us remember:

If you are insulted because you bear the name of CHRIST, you will be blessed, for the glorious SPIRIT of GOD rests upon you. If you are suffering in a manner that pleases GOD, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the GOD Who created you, for He will never fail you. (1 Peter 4:14,19)

LORD, You will never leave us or forsake us. Our hope and trust are in You.

In JESUS’ name we pray. AMEN.

JESUS, ALL FOR JESUS, Robin Mark

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 !

“A National Decree for God’s Watchmen”
Dutch Sheets with Gene and Teri Bailey
Speaking God’s Word - by Dutch Sheets
“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.” (Job 22:28, NASB 1995)
More and more Believers are learning the power of agreeing with God in our hearts and declaring it from our mouths. We are born again – the greatest of all miracles – when we believe the Gospel in our hearts and confess it with our mouths (Romans 10:9-10).
The Greek word translated “confess” (homologeo) means “to say the same thing as another.” In a biblical context, it means to say what God says. Because of the root Greek word “logos”/”logia,” a more thorough definition would be to understand, agree with (submit to), and acknowledge this by saying it. Confessing Jesus as Lord means you understand the Gospel, agree and submit to it, and declare this verbally.
Confessing, declaring or decreeing our faith in God’s Word has become somewhat controversial due to unbalanced teaching by some and ignorance of the Scriptures on the part of others. It need not be, however. Simply stated, the power of God’s Word, and from what Holy Spirit says prophetically, must be released by us. One of the ways we do so is with our mouths. This truth is seen throughout Scripture.
There are other reasons we speak God’s words as well. In my studies over the years, I have come to believe we do so in order to:
1. Increase Our Faith
Romans 10:17 tells us faith comes by hearing God’s words. Jesus said His words were seeds (Matthew 13:1-23). Hearing His Word as we speak it is one of the ways in which we plant the seeds in our hearts. Speaking the Word is actually part of biblical meditation (Joshua 1:8); the Hebrew word (haga) means “to mutter,” [as in] speak to oneself. (Photo via Unsplash)
2. Release Our Faith
As stated in the opening paragraph, releasing our faith by stating what we believe is how we’re born again (Romans 10:9-10). Jesus said that declaring our faith would remove mountains of adversity from our lives (Mark 11:23-24). The faith in our hearts must be released!
3. Release God’s Power and Life
Jesus spoke to storms, fig trees and dead individuals (Mark 4:39; Matthew 21:19; John 11:43). Obviously, He did not do so because storms or trees have ears, and the dead don’t hear. Jesus was releasing His faith through His words. He also released miracles, as did the disciples, through declarations (Matthew 8:8-13; Acts 9:34, 40). Proverbs 18:21 tells us “life” is in the power of our words!
4. Release the Sword of the Spirit
Ephesians 6:17 tells us the spoken Word is a spiritual weapon against forces that oppose God. Matthew 16:18-19 says that we bind and loose, forbid and allow with the authority Christ has delegated to us. This is accomplished by declaring His words and will.
Obviously, we must pray and decree according to God’s will and Word (1 John 5:14-15). When we do so, our declarations and decrees release life, power, His will and Kingdom rule (Matthew 6:10). Like God, and Abraham, we call things that be not as if they already exist (Romans 4:17). The definition of faith – believing in what we cannot see – lets us know that we are decreeing what we desire and know to be God’s will, not what has already manifested. This is why we make declarations and decrees.
Our friends at FlashPoint, Gene and Teri Bailey, have written and released the following strong, biblically-based decree over America. My prayer is that millions of Believers will begin to release it daily over our nation. As we do, power will be released, and the will of God will manifest. Let’s decree it together now. If you are reading along with me, say it:
Watchman Decree - by Gene and Teri Bailey
As a patriot of faith, I attest my allegiance first and foremost to the Kingdom of God and the Great Commission. Secondly, I agree to be a watchman over our nation concerning its people and their rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (Photo of Gene and Teri Bailey)
WHEREAS:
• We, the Church, are God’s governing Body on the earth.
• We have been given legal power and authority from Heaven.
• We are God’s ambassadors and spokespeople over the earth.
• Through the power of God, we are His world influencers.
• Because of our covenant with God, we are equipped and delegated by Him to destroy every attempted advance of the enemy.
WE MAKE OUR DECLARATIONS:
1. We decree that America’s executive branch of government will honor God and defend the Constitution.
2. We decree that our legislative branch (Congress) will write only laws that are righteous and constitutional.
3. We decree that our judicial system will issue rulings that are biblical and constitutional.
4. We declare that we stand against wokeness, the occult and every evil attempt against our nation.
5. We declare that we now take back our God-given freedoms, according to our Constitution.
6. We declare that we take back influence at the local level in our communities.
7. We decree that we take back and permanently control positions of influence and leadership in each of the Seven Mountains.
8. We decree that the Blood of Jesus covers and protects our nation. It protects and separates us for God.
9. We declare that our nation is energy independent.
10. We declare that America is strong spiritually, financially, militarily and technologically.
11. We decree that evil carries no power, authority or rights in our land, or over our people.
12. We decree that we will operate in unity, going beyond denominational lines, in order to accomplish the purposes of God for our nation.
13. We decree that AMERICA SHALL BE SAVED!
We know this country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. We know the truth; therefore, we stand for truth and will NEVER be deceived!
We will NEVER stop fighting!
We will NEVER, EVER, EVER give up or give in!
We WILL take our country back.
We WILL honor the ONE TRUE GOD – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! AMERICA SHALL BE SAVED!
“Working together with Him, we strongly urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain [by turning away from sound doctrine and His merciful kindness]. For He says, ‘AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME (the time of grace) I LISTENED TO YOU, AND I HELPED YOU ON THE DAY OF SALVATION.’ Behold, now is ‘THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,’ behold, now is ‘THE DAY OF SALVATION.’” (2 Corinthians 6:1-2, AMP)

AMEN.

[norsky]

Amen Lord Jesus, may we find the freedom from the things that cause us grief by repentance of anything that prevents us from having that peace. May our prayers be found worthy and not hypocritical. May we be the salt we were meant to be. May we stand in the gap for the concerns we have for our nation. IN Jesus Name, Amen.
