FATHER GOD,
Forgive us. In our own way, each of us have contributed to the downfall of America. In Your mercy, give us another to turn this nation around. Save us. Revive us again.
In JESUS' Name we pray. AMEN.

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:24
O Lord our God, here you reveal truth in a seeming paradox. For though you are ‘our peace,’ fellowship with you will be costly. It will involve suffering, strife, opposition, persecution, and separation from the world and even from our own family.
“And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed” Luke 2: 34
From the first, O Lord, your name, Jesus of Nazareth, has been a name of shame—hated, opposed, and despised. But unbeknownst to your opposers, your name O Lord is a Sword, separating sheep from goats:
“He that is not with Christ is against him, and he that gathereth not with him scattereth abroad. Where Christ is no man remains a neutral; he decides either for Christ or against him. “ Christ—The Rise and Fall of Many, Charles Spurgeon, 1869
Those who despise and oppose you O Lord fall away. They remain on the outside. They are the sons of flesh, the children of darkness whose father is the Devil. Rev. 22:15
In our time O Lord Jesus, many who hate, despise and oppose you have control of the levers of power in our land. They use this power to divide people against each other, to corrupt, bring death, destroy, loot, burn, terrorize, induce paranoia, stir up hatred against your children, and foment insurrection against President Trump and all men and women of good-will who support him.
They are the Devil's godless revolutionary troops: Marxists, Socialists, ‘Woke’ Social Justice Warriors, Queer Social Justice Warriors, Democratic Socialists, Progressives, international pedophiles (Global and national), pedo-satanists (Global and national), Wiccans, New Age Sorcerers, all practitioners of occult arts, the Interfaith ‘church,’ Illuminati (Baron and Baroness de Rothschild), Malthusians (extreme population control via abortion, euthanasia, induced diseases, and other means) and all builders of the New World Order.
Revolutionary children of darkness are of the man-centered and Satanic world system. Satan’s world system is characterized by autonomy (you can be as God), selfish love, selfish passions, self-righteousness, envy, covetousness, rank hypocrisy, lawlessness, pathological lying, relativism, myths (i.e. Darwinism), nature worship (i.e. global change), hatred of Jesus Christ and Sons of God, and justification and moral perfection by human efforts (works) via forced application of ideological social justice, thought and speech controls, and political correctness.
In its determination to rule the world and the souls of as many people as possible, Satan’s world system persecutes and kills God’s faithful children in order to purge itself of alien elements—Jesus Christ, his Good News and children of God. It is this world system, a system based in hatred and death, not Love and Life, that the children of God and all who are ensnared by it are called by you O Lord our God to separate themselves from. (Rev. 18:4)
Heavenly Father, Your Word tells us that this ultimate and growing chasm between children of light and fleshly sons of darkness and death is your Sword passing through this land separating wheat from weeds--all who hate and despise you Lord Jesus:
“Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’ Matthew 13:30
O Lord our God, you have begun a work of exposing evil in the hearts of the wicked and banishing it from our land. (Titus 2:13; Romans 8: 18; Hebrews 9:28; Jude 1:21; Philippians 3:20, 21; 2 Timothy 4:8; Acts 24:15)
Gracious Heavenly Father, You are our Lord. Your servants love you and wait patiently for your blessed return in these terrible times. Please O Lord, strengthen your servants, strengthen President Trump, VP Pence, AG Barr, and bless them with discernment and judgment. Walk with them and uphold them as they do their part through prayer and righteous works in these evil days. Encourage and fortify your servants, President Trump, and all men and women of goodwill who serve and protect him.
Even so, O Lord, we wait for your Blessed Return:
"And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation." Isaiah 25:9
"For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." Matthew 16:27
"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." 1 John 4:14
In the Blessed Name of our Wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the One we long for. Amen
Please pray with us!
Please pray with us!

Thank you for your words of prayer and the mighty scriptures given today. Joining together in prayer.
Dear Lord, please deliver us from the evil that surrounds us !
Prayers for President Trump and his safety and guidance from You !
Prayers for his sweeping reelection victory in November and for those like-minded candidates downballot !
Prayers for the defeat and sweeping-out of those serving the Dark One in our governments and institutions and culture !
Amen !
AMEN!!!
Thank-you. Amen
Amen. And we grieve that far too often and for too long, the church has barely distinguished itself from the darkness pervading the culture. Forgive Your people, LORD - for falling into the snares of materialism, consumerism, and sacrificing the spiritual things of eternity at the altar of pragmatism. For valuing things like marriage and family, but not laying You as the foundation. For wasting years of education concerned with attaining temporary employment and material gain, while abandoning the study, focus, and heartfelt contemplation due Your truths and how they apply to our life and world beyond church on Sundays.
Please revive in Your people a faith that invigorates intellect and sets aflame the imagination. May it be YOUR people leading in the way of innovation — in every area of culture: from technology to film, arts and architecture, medicine and academia, agriculture and environment. Forgive bourgeois complacency and the mediocrity of spirit that has far too long been the rule.
We praise Your for the Trump family and their endless reserves of energy, their commitment to lofty visions and their perseverance in seeing them through. We praise You for the President’s heart for building what is new, restoring what’s been lost, and preserving what is good and true. We praise You for his commitment to repair what is broken and expose what is dark, and drain out is rotting.
Indeed LORD this election: please drain the swamps of our government and society for good. May we rebuild this country on solid rock and not on sinking mud. And may we fix our eyes on Heaven and not on what is below. In JESUS’ name. - Amen.
Oh Father God, we thank You for giving us discernment to see the chasm and all that it represents - the ages old spiritual war.
We thank You for this time to prepare for the threshing to come.
We thank You for this opportunity to stand strong in Your Truth.
We pray that we may be witness to the power of the Holy Spirit.
We pray in Jesus' name. Amen
Amen
Very insightful .............Thank you and Amen

Yes, dear Lord, we pray for the churches that are diluting Your Word. We pray that they would be convicted, repent and know that Truth is non-negotiable.
Indeed LORD this election: please drain the swamps of our government and society for good. May we rebuild this country on solid rock and not on sinking mud. And may we fix our eyes on Heaven and not on what is below.
Amen!

Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
“I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
Today is a day in which we cry out in the name of Jesus. In Your grace, You answer us! We pray for our President, Donald John Trump. Make him bold with strength in his soul.
We have prayed for an awakening and mighty outpouring of Your Spirit on all flesh. As Jeanbl prayed yesterday, it is the entrance of Your Word which brings light, so send Your Word, Sir. As it is released, all shall praise You, O LORD, When they hear the words of Your mouth. Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.
Though the LORD is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar. Help Your body to identify pride in our lives and teach us how to humble ourselves before You. Jesus, in the judgement, we want You to know us.
Though President Trump walks in the midst of trouble, You will revive him. You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of his enemies, and Your right hand will save him. You, LORD, will perfect that which concerns him. Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake our Republic or Your people who live here, the works of Your hands.” Amen. (Psalms 138)
FATHER GOD,
Forgive us. In our own way, each of us have contributed to the downfall of America. In Your mercy, give us another to turn this nation around. Save us. Revive us again.
In JESUS' Name we pray. AMEN.
FATHER, “normal” has been used abundantly in these past days;
How would one define “normal”? YOUR Normal, America’s “normal”, whose “Normal”? We have lost our understanding as to what this word might mean to every citizen as “normal” seems to have been nothing seen or experienced in these last days. Please offer understanding to Your Children. Please return to us peace of mind and peace on earth.
In JESUS’ Name. Amen.
Amen
