Our Sovereign God, remind us that even the most tragic accidents are not outside Your hand. We weep, knowing this world is not as it should be. Help us remember that death and destruction do not have the last word. Strengthen our weary hearts as we pursue You today and await tomorrow’s restoration. Amen.
Lord, we ask you to bless the activity of the FBI in our troubled city of Memphis. We thank you, Almighty God, for the blessing of such a Delta city on the edge of the incredible Mississippi river. We ask you please, Lord to give the law-enforcement members of Memphis discernment and allow grace to the FBI as they try to assist them in reducing the horrible level of crime. Amen.

“We’re not a Sanctuary City and don’t force us to be so.”
(Posted on Nextdoor)
Please read the information below regarding what is happening in Chattanooga. I am asking as many folks as possible to please RSVP and plan to attend the meeting on Monday, September 23. Mayor Tim Kelly is trying to make Chattanooga a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants. If we don’t speak up now, we have no right to complain later.
Chattanooga’s Office of New Americans
Read about the “Office of New Americans” meeting below. The ONA was created by Mayor Tim Kelly to be a part of the Department of Equity and Community Engagement. Not everyone would go to this meeting, but please consider sending emails with your concerns. They need to be flooded with communications.
Karen Clay – [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or 423-355-7003 (Neighborhood Relations Specialist)
Perrin Lance – [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or 423-567-5389 (Mgr: Neighborhood Services & Development)
Mayor Tim Kelly office – [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or 423-643-7800
Who wants undocumented and unvetted immigrants in our neighborhoods?
Who wants the possible dangers of the released mentally ill and criminals so close to our families and children?
Are there assessments about human trafficking?
We’re not a Sanctuary City and don’t force us to be so.
Our tax money is going toward “enhance access to resources”?
Who is funding this ONA? Is the director a volunteer or is this a paid position?
The American citizens are doing all the giving whether we agree to or not. I support immigrants who want to come into our country and culture the right way as many have done for decades, but not the way we are experiencing now!
September Roundtable – Office of New Americans
What: Neighborhood Services is proud to continue our 2024 Neighborhood Roundtable Series! September’s Roundtable will feature the Office of New Americans (ONA) as they inform us of their mission to welcome and engage our newest neighbors. The Office of New Americans serves to integrate the City of Chattanooga immigrant and refugee integration strategies through an equity lens.
Hosting will be Kelly Valcarce, the Director of ONA. A key part of the strategy has been the introduction of “Bridging Communities” meetings (https://mayor.chattanooga.gov/kelly-administration-launches-bridging-communities/ (https://mayor.chattanooga.gov/kelly-administration-launches-bridging-communities/)). The Bridging Communities meetings are a bimonthly collaboration of nonprofits and service providers aimed at supporting Chattanooga’s immigrant and refugee populations by enhancing access to resources, improving service coordination, and fostering community integration. Come learn more about our newest neighbors and how we can welcome and engage all into our neighborhoods! The public is invited to attend!
When: Monday, September 23rd, 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Where: East Lake Community Center, 3610 Dodds Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37407
Parking: Free parking is available at the Community Center and side streets.

This is powerful. World Overcomers church in Memphis!
Thank you Lord for Fearless Truth spoken to honor you!
Lord, I pray that YOU would touch the hearts of those intent on doing evil in TN (or any place in this nation). I pray that the organizers of these events would have a personal encounter with you and recognize their need to repent of their sins. I pray that they would submit to you as Lord and Savior, and bring you the full measure of honor due your name. Bring these evil efforts to nothing Lord Jesus. In your Holy Name, I ask these things.
https://tennesseestar.com/politics/far-left-tennessee-group-will-hold-justice-school-to-teach-youth-how-to-organize-protests/khousler/2024/05/21/
“The Tennessee Student Solidarity Network will hold a “Justice School” in July to teach individuals as young as 15 how to organize protests and campaigns for “progressive movements.”
The group’s program will be held at an undisclosed location every Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. beginning July 7 through August 18.
Registration for the program, which is marketed toward individuals aged 15 to 25, closes on June 25.
…
The group lists the following topics each weekly class will cover:
Week 1: Theories of Power
Week 2: Patriarchal Racial Capitalism, a history of the development of class society.
Week 3: Successes and failures of US movements, the growth of neoliberalism.
Week 4: Organizing Conversations & Power Mapping
Week 5: Leadership Identification
Week 6: Turning an Issue into a Campaign
Week 7: Case Study: Wins & Failures of the Anti-Apartheid Struggle in South Africa (& youth’s role)
The Tennessee Student Solidarity Network is “incubated” by the statewide group A Luta Sigue, which is a “movement incubator dedicated to supporting the creation and development of autonomous power-building projects and campaigns led by working-class leaders and youth in Tennessee.”
Heavenly Father, I pray in agreement with this article that the attacks on our legal system are defeated in your power because you are the one who brings victory over the enemy. I come along side of all those who are unjustly accused (because there are many) by the enemy of your kingdom and ask that you encourage and strengthen them in their homes and in their work. In Jesus Name, Amen
https://ifapray.org/blog/the-troubling-story-of-john-eastman-and-election-lawfare/
“The vicious attacks on Dr. Eastman, the skewed portrayal of fair lawsuits by left wing media, and the growing intensity of lawfare should concern us. They conspire to erode the fairness and impartiality of our legal system as envisaged by our founding fathers when they established a system of checks and balances in our three-branch government. Individual federal and state laws represent the way constitutional law is handled. The more the rule of law is being misused for political purposes, the weaker our Constitution becomes as an absolute and impartial measure against which individual cases should be adjudicated.
“Part of the impartiality of our Constitution comes from biblical law embedded in it. I believe that is why the legal system in America is under heavy attack in so many different ways. The devil hates anything related to the Kingdom of God, including Christian principles in the founding documents of a nation. Lawlessness will abound where the law loses its absoluteness, which is his ultimate goal.”
Lord, I ask that you would touch the hearts of those who work to hide their evil and unlawful actions in TN universities and schools at every level, such as Guy Harrison, director of DEI for the School of Journalism and Media, UT. May each one repent and turn from their evil ways. Lord, I pray for the protection of students that they receive your wisdom and reject these unholy plans. In Jesus Matchless Name, I ask these things. Amen
https://dailycaller.com/2024/04/12/universitieskey-loophole-skirt-state-diversity-equity-inclusion-bans/
“The University of Tennessee announced in November that it would be renaming its DEI office as the “Division of Access and Engagement,” according to The Daily Beacon, a student newspaper. The university did not point to state laws on DEI as a reason for the change in a statement to the Daily Beacon but Guy Harrison, director of DEI for the School of Journalism and Media, said that the move was to prevent the full blacklisting of DEI.”
Lord, we thank you for what you are doing in/on college campuses. In preparation for May 1 at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, we ask that you would make the fire of your Holy Spirit break out and draw EVERY student, teacher, and those just passing by into a deep honest state of repentance so that they can be washed clean, and be made new in your salvation, purchased on the cross. May those who surrender to you as Lord and Savior be lovingly lead in the ways of Truth from your Word like Paul mentored Timothy. May they grow strong in the Spirit so they can withstand the the lies of Satan and defeat him with the Sword of your Word. May they boldly share the Gospel with others so that your Truth reaches the ends of the earth in this generation. In the matchless Name of Jesus I ask these things. Amen https://ifapray.org/blog/revival-is-spreading-throughout-u-s/
“Unite US is next scheduled to host an event on May 1 at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee, on behalf of students enrolled at the University of Tennessee.”
Ephesians 6:12 NLT
[12] For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
This scripture seems to fit with our prayer time from last night’s call together. Thank you Lord for reminding us that you called us to love others into your kingdom. Thank you Lord that you hear our prayers that the hearts of the people are surrounded to you alone. Thank you Lord that we get to be workers in your field.
All glory and honor and the victory are yours Lord Jesus. Amen.
Please be in prayer for our state as bills are currently being considered concerning state sovereignty. Our AG has a misunderstanding which needs to be covered in prayers. Also lift up Representative Hulsey as he provides wisdom so that Truth is embraced in our state.
Here is a source to provide clarity for your prayers:
https://tncss.substack.com/p/daniel-horowitz-of-the-blaze-reports?publication_id=1528185&post_id=142560182&isFreemail=true&r=3jvd5l&triedRedirect=true
“Representative Hulsey presented HB2795 to the Public Service Sub Committee and I must say he did a BRILLIANT job of presenting the facts about the authority of the states v. the authority of the federal government and provided proof that the states and the people of the states are the final arbiter of the Constitution. I was so proud of Representative Hulsey and his brilliant presentation. “
Lord, help all intercessors to pray bold powerful prayers because YOU are able! Thank you Lord for today’s reminder (1/27/24) from the PA IFA Group that you invite us into times of powerful prayer.

“…God’s Ways Are Greater Than Our Own
But God spoke to Betsy and to many other Pennsylvania intercessors, telling them that their prayers were too small and reminding them that He is a merciful, miracle-working God who wants to do more than we can ever ask or imagine. …”
Praise your name Lord God.🙌
Precious and holy and mighty Lord, help us know how to pray. There is a storm coming. Should we pray AGAINST the storm? Pray to be led THROUGH the storm? Should we pray FOR the storm because you want us to be changed by going through it? Forgive us as we doubt. Forgive us as we hold grudges. Forgive us as we lack trust. Forgive us as we work to achieve our OWN will and not Yours. Guide us as children that call out for their father in the dark. We love You. Amen.
I take refuge in the Lord.
So how can you say to me,
“Flee like a bird to the mountains.”?
2 Look, the wicked have bent their bow
and placed their arrow[b] on the string,[c]
to shoot from the darkness[d] at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in his holy Temple;
the Lord’s throne is in the heavens.
His eyes see,
his glance[e] examines humanity.[f]
5 The Lord examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence, he hates.
6 He rains on the wicked burning coals and sulfur;
a scorching wind is their destiny.[g]
7 Indeed, the Lord is righteous;
he loves righteousness;
the upright will see him face-to-face.
Our Heavenly Father, Glory be to you for You are the Almighty and have authority over Your everlasting Kingdom. We pray for justice to come to those involved in the killing of a TN resident in Henderson, TN in his own home by federal agents. Until we know the answers to questions regarding the killing, there seems to be an injustice done. Lord, this is becoming too common that it is alarming to us. Give us insight and wisdom in how to pursue and persevere in praying for this increasingly common occurrence.
Have grace and mercy on the grieving mother of this man who has unanswered questions. Help those who pursue trying to get the truth with perseverance and strength to not give up. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. And we pray for Your justice to prevail! Amen
Holy Father, thank you for what You have done in raising up those who love truth and will not back down from issues. Help those types of people to lead our state back to Your Word. Remove corruption from government, and let truth be seen. Let corruption be revealed, and bring evil ways into the light. Let churches rise up in righteousness, and let church leaders repent and follow You, so that they can lead in righteousness. Make leaders out of men and women of prayer, and bring Tennessee under the umbrella of your Truth. Heal and transform our schools. Thank You for Your miracles! In JESUS’ precious Name.
Lord please help our religious leaders to continue to be strong and to follow your ways with precision. Please help our leaders of government to be just and fair. Please help them to find the happy medium whenever possible. Help them to practice compassion and love in their work and to take on the great weight of their choices with confidence.
Amen
Father,
I pray for an awakening in Tennessee – a call to prayer for “Volunteers” to rise up all across this state and flood the heavens with prayers and appeals on behalf of this land. I pray for hearts to be repentant and that a refreshing would fall on your people clearing away the fog and weariness that have kept them muzzled. Put an urgency in the hearts of your people to answer the call to prayer. Let us realize that the lives of our children, grandchildren and future generations are hanging in the balance. Awaken our hearts again to the power of prayer. In the Mighty Name of Jesus

Prayer for Nashville , the state of TN, the nation and all nations plus Israel.
We pray for Memphis and the issue of crime and for the Sheriff’s officers and departments as we need them more than ever. My sister-in-law was accosted while filling up her car last week. 3 men tried to steal her purse while she was finishing up. Their eyes met and he and the other two left in their car. They were not successful but she was really shaken up by this incident. We need a break through in the judicial system and those judges who can make a difference. Lord hear our prayer. in Jesus Name. Amen
Please pray for safety in our city and criminals be stopped.
Our state will look to God for wisdom and knowledge.
Father, as our state Supreme Court prepares to interview candidates for the State’s Attorney General, I pray that you grant them wisdom and discernment. Guide them as they evaluate their judicial records and the character of the individuals. Do not let them be received Lord. This is a powerful position that requires a person of strong Christian character, a constitutionalist who will stand strong. I pray Lord I pray your will be done, in Jesus name. Amen.
As this week of early voting draws to a close, I have been praying voters would be more mindful of who they vote for. Many resources are available to better inform us who are strong conservatives, moral and upright in character. There are way too many wolves in sheep’s clothing sitting in our government. I pray God’s will be done by removing from office those we cannot trust to represent us. In Jesus name, amen.
Lord Jesus,
Rescue those lost around us through us by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Dearest Heavenly Father,
I lift up our state leaders today and all that you watch over them. Deliver them from evil and give v then each a gift if discernment. Breath over them Your precious Holy Spirit throughout their term and guide them with Your Word that You have written in their hearts. Help them to stand boldly, giving them words of conviction and truth. Inspire them to follow a plan worthy of Your calling. Help them to seek You first, to trust You, and obey Your guidance. Speak to them, LORD. Give them a fresh annointing and help them to be a watch for for the citizens of Tennessee. In Jesus’s name I pray.
Heavenly Father thank You so very much for the victory you gave us in overturning Roe vs Wade today! I’m thankful my state of Tennessee is a trigger state and new laws regarding abortion are coming soon. I pray for our hearts in this state to completely turn from ending life in the womb. Every woman needs our prayer and help. Let us know how we can engage in love those considering abortion. We know it never ends well and leaves a lifetime of heartbreak. Forgive us!!! We repent from our wicked thoughts and actions to holiness, purity, righteousness and love in Christ Jesus. Lead us on Your paths of righteousness and LIFE! Fill us with Holy Spirit and action plans to help those find You. Help me help in Tennessee! In Christ Jesus My Lord and Savior, Cyndee Taylor.
In the name of JESUS CHRIST of NAZARETH I come before you FATHER GOD thanking YOU for love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. Thank YOU for Calvary! I know YOU are in control and ask for YOUR will to be done. Guard us and guide us and supply the needs of YOUR people. YOU are the GOD of all flesh and there is nothing too hard for YOU! Thank YOU for hearing our cries…😔💔ðŸ™ðŸ»
