I Prayed have prayed
Father, we ask You to reveal all shady backroom deals and negotiations. Help our leaders to put politics aside and reopen the government!
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Why are Democrats continuing to reject all Republican attempts to reopen the government? Thanks to Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin, we may finally have an answer.

Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.

 

From The Gateway Pundit:

Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of orchestrating a secret “backroom deal” with fellow Democrats to deliberately keep the government shut down until after Tuesday’s elections.

During an interview, Mullin disclosed that Schumer privately instructed Senate Democrats to “wait it out” rather than negotiate with Republicans to reopen the government.

Mullin blasted the strategy as a cynical move to protect Democrat turnout in key states.

According to Senator Mullin, “Chuck Schumer, in a private meeting with other Democrat senators, said that if they’d just wait until after the election, he’d release the handcuffs.” He did this because he was reportedly “afraid [the Democrats’] base wouldn’t show up … in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.”

The Senator accused Democrats like Senator Schumer of “holding the American people as leverage” in order to score political points.

You can watch this interview below:

The government has been shut down for over 5 weeks now, making this the longer shutdown in our nation’s history. Meanwhile, our infrastructure is in danger, and more and more families are having to go without pay. If what Senator Mullin is saying is true, it would mean that Senator Schumer endangered America families all to win a few off-year elections.

Let’s pray for the truth about these accusations to be revealed, and let’s pray for an end to this shutdown that will honor God and bless this nation!

How are you praying about Senator Mullin’s accusations? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

It would mean that Chuck Schumer is on a demonic path to power over the struggles and suffering of the American people, especially the most vulnerable of us… very sad and even more scary!

Unfortunately, we still live in a day when shady, back room deals rule politicians. Of course, the American people are the ones who bear the brunt of these malevolent actions. However, we are in this conundrum because Congress refuses to adopt a budget for the most powerful nation in the world. Both political parties bear the responsibility for this. We must pray that common sense be restored to our government. Our legislators not only need to reread the constitution, but also the book of Proverbs. It is here that they will discover God‘s plan for fiscal responsibility. True wisdom still comes from heaven above. God grant that our-politicians spend more time in prayer closets, and not in back rooms.

Schumer should be held to account by GOD our FATHER!! He is unworthy to hold his office…what he has reportedly done is so wrong, manipulating the elections to stay in power….we no longer need power-hungry, greedy, grasping people in power. America needs term limits of 2. And never be allowed to run again! Many are too old not to be affected by old-age ailments of the brain! And I am 80, so I know!

its a sad day to have politicians in control of our nation in defiance of meeting the needs of our authentic us citizens-congress promised to legislate no more government shut downs-every cr requested is based on they need more time to get their work done-its neverending!! something as basic as keeping our government open seems to be impossible for them all of them should be to get their job done promptly on our behalf or be removed from office immediately…so-lets git r done!!

Standing on God’s Word. Luke 12:2-3”Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed or hidden. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light & what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed from the housetops.”

I have always suspected that Schumer and the democrats are evil. Any Godly democrat has been replaced by demon possessed people interested in only political power. Demoncrat is the perfect term for them. Pray, pray, pray for God’s protection from their evils. The demoncrats are totally invested in satan’s evils and are destined to eternal damnation. I trust in God.

If this is true, God would have been in on this back room deal all along. Now, we await His response of judgement and justice for those who participated in this devious strategy. Our God is an awesome God🙌🙌🙌🙌
