“I shouldn’t have agreed. Why? Because I knew what the responses would be…indeed I could have written them myself. To be honest I could have done without the grieve – the shrill cries of ‘racist’, ‘alt-right’– the self-righteous ‘don’t you care as much as I do’ posts. It felt as though I had committed the heresy of questioning BLM.” (Is it Heresy for a Christian to Question Black Lives Matter? David Robertson, July 27, 2020, Aquila Report)

“ For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil. For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.” 1 Peter 3: 17-22

Lord Jesus, as Your accusers, both human and unseen fallen powers, relentlessly stalked and circled round You O Lord, looking for any opening by which to condemn You to a cruel, unjust and humiliating death, You stood silent under their barrage of slanderous fiery darts and murderous burning knives of betrayal plunged into Your back (soul) over and over.

Throughout the unjust inquisition, condemnation and suffering You stood silent because You had come into the world to take the sins of all people onto Yourself as the Divine Scapegoat so that by the spilling of Your blood sinners could be washed clean and saved from the Wrath of God.

You also stood silent O Lord, because You are the creator of mankind (John 1). You knew therefore that You had created all humans with minds and free wills with which to choose between right and wrong. Thus knowing that their minds were filled with evil thoughts (Psalms 139; Jeremiah 12:3; 1 Chronicles 29:17; Acts 15:8; John 3:20) You knew their wills were turned toward evil and anything You said in defense of Yourself would be twisted, tortured and thrown back upon You as further condemnation of guilt.

O Lord, Your situation is becoming the situation of Your faithful children today. More and more of our accusers within the ‘woke’ church are popping up with every passing day. Their minds and wills are turned against Your faithful children, President Trump, and all men and women of good will who serve him because they freely choose to imbibe the cup of brutal, dehumanizing ideological poisons (Cultural Marxism, Social Justice, identity politics, systemic white racism, multiple races of men, gender fluidity, intersectionality) offered them by the Godless in back of whom stand manipulative powers, principalities, and Satan.

In Christ and the Powers, Your servant Hendrik Berkhof attributes ideologies to the powers, principalities, and Satan (p. 57)

“Seeing is located neither in the eye nor in the retina, nor in the optic nerve…the brain does not see.” (Erwin Strauss, neurologist-psychologist, Touchstone Journal of Mere Christianity, p. 11)

Though modern people ascribe to the idea of brainwashing, it is false because we are souls (inner persons) embedded within the physical matter of bodies. It is the inner person who sees just as it is the inner person who thinks and wills and interfaces with the world through the magnificent brain designed by our Creator.

Thus brainwashing is actually a spiritually (psychologically) manipulative process by which an ill-intentioned human soul or group of souls wields spiritual power of persuasion in deceptive ways to distort another souls perception of reality. And because the souls being manipulated do not ask questions in pursuit of truth, they are led like dumb sheep, to freely submit their minds and wills to the will of the soul or group of souls who spiritually manipulate them.

And this is why we cannot reason with the ‘woke,’ BLM, and the Godless: their minds and wills are submitted to spiritually wicked manipulators (mass media) under the influence of powers and principalities, thus turned toward the necessity of our guilt. We—President Trump, all who support him, and the Lord’s faithful children, ‘must’ be guilty, for we are the necessary scapegoats for a people (souls)—within and without the church— who refuse to accept responsibility for their own poor choices and sins.

Dear Heavenly Father, since You O Lord bore witness through Your suffering and were vindicated, we too, if it is Your Will, can drink the cup of unjust condemnation and bear witness through our unjust suffering and trust in You O Lord to vindicate us. For this vale of tears is not our home. We are pilgrims passing through on our way to our eternal home in the Celestial City and paradise recreated.

In the Wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Creator and Redeemer, we pray. Amen

😳 wow. A M E N

Praying that Biden’s selection of Senator Harris be the unraveling of the DNC leftist agenda. That from here on out, all situations that unfold — be they foreign or domestic, work in favor of Trump/Pence. Praying for the MAGA movement to be united in spirit and purpose, and that conservatives be able to clearly delineate our principles and that every media barrier be broken down. Praying for God’s protection over every ballot and every attempted act of fraud or electoral threat be thwarted in the name of Jesus.

AMEN!
May believers be about the FATHER'S business these Last Days.
Let our Light shine for You, LORD.

12 Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with CHRIST in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to all the world.

14 If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious SPIRIT of GOD rests upon you. 15 If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. 16 But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise GOD for the privilege of being called by His Name! 17 For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with GOD'S household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed GOD'S Good News? 18 And also,

“If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?”

19 So 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.

Oh Father God, we need a God sized miracle, that the propaganda machine will lose their audience and become irrelevant.
Lord, if it is Your Will, soften the hearts of those lost in darkness and ignorance, that they may seek to produce the fruits of the Spirit.
Lord, always we pray that as a nation we would repent and seek Your blessings.
We pray for the protection of our beloved President Trump and ask that he sift his every decision through Your Word.
in Jesus’ name we pray

Amen!!!

Psalm 27

Of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold* of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evildoers assail me
to devour my flesh—
my adversaries and foes—
they shall stumble and fall.

3 Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident.

4 One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple.

5 For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will set me high on a rock.

6 Now my head is lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud,
be gracious to me and answer me!
8 ‘Come,’ my heart says, ‘seek his face!’
Your face, Lord, do I seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me.

Do not turn your servant away in anger,
you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off, do not forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
10 If my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they are breathing out violence.

13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!

Amen!. Our battle is in the spiritual realm.
2 Cor 10
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God

Amen, spirited irish

Joining in prayer during these evil days and troubled times. As it was during the times of Noah.

Lifting up President Trump, especially during this coming election. When all the forces of hell are unleashed to stir up chaos.

May God’s hand turn what was meant for evil to good. And turn our hearts and minds to Him—the only God and Savior of our souls and our nation.

In Jesus Name
Amen
