I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

Psalm 5
To the leader: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my words, O Lord;
give heed to my sighing.
2 Listen to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.
4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil will not sojourn with you.
5 The boastful will not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house,
I will bow down towards your holy temple
in awe of you.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me.
9 For there is no truth in their mouths;
their hearts are destruction;
their throats are open graves;
they flatter with their tongues.
10 Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
so that those who love your name may exult in you.
12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover them with favour as with a shield.
Prayers up ❤
AMEN!
Bipartisan negotiators say deal on gun bill reached
The Washington Times ^ | June 20 | By Haris Alic

“Senate lawmakers finalized negotiations on bipartisan gun and school safety legislation Monday, with the bill text expected to be made public as soon as lawmakers return to Washington on Tuesday.
Lawmakers at the heart of the negotiations say a deal was clinched after Democrats made concessions to bring wary Republicans on board. Democrats compromised on incentives for states to adopt red-flag laws and the broadening of restrictions on gun ownership for people accused or convicted of domestic violence.
“I’m confident that there’s serious negotiation that [are] very close,” President Biden told reporters while vacationing at his oceanside home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
The turnaround marks a significant change from where the negotiations stood last week. Lawmakers departed Washington on Thursday frustrated that the deal was mired in the weeds.
“Indecision and delay jeopardize the likelihood of a bill because you can’t write what is undecided and without a bill, there is nothing to vote on,” said Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican involved in the negotiations. “It’s fish or cut bait.”
Lawmakers notably were divided over whether federal subsidies should be provided equally for states with and without red flag laws, which allow courts to confiscate firearms from individuals deemed a threat. Republicans argued that since some states would never pass such legislation, the proposal should make money eligible for alternative programs such as crisis intervention.” . . .”

Binding and Loosing, as per Mt. 16:19, 18:18 and Luke 10:19:
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we now bind the Strongman over all evil spirit powers operating to pass this and any and every other bill in the House and the Senate to restrict firearms, ammunition, the right to own and transport and use firearms in any way, shape or form.
We loose, in the Name of Jesus, upon these Strongmen and all other evil spirit powers working in and on this matter, above and below and to the side of them, aiding, abetting, or collaborating in any way, shape, or form, the spirits of
judgement, forgetfulness, panic, frustration,
havoc, confusion, pandemonium, disasters, chaos, destruction upon each other and pain, shame, and fear.
Also, we loose upon each and every human here involved, the spirits of Salvation, Adoption as children of God, Repentance, and Deliverance. And power, and love, and a sound mind.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Amen to your Beautiful, Anointed Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
Joining you in Thanksgiving, Prayer, and Praise.
