I Prayed have prayed
Lord, Your word says that there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open (Luke 8:17). We are encouraged Lord that secret basement hearings will be brought out in the light and the truth will be known.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

House Democrats on Wednesday continued their closed-door hearings in the Capitol building basement as part of their so-called impeachment inquiry, just a day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced she would not hold a full House vote to officially launch an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

House Democrats are subpoenaing testimony and documents from current and former Trump appointees and career officials who they hope will give them more fodder in their quest to prove allegations by an anonymous “whistleblower” with second-hand information alleging that Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine in exchange for helping the U.S. investigate the origins of the Russia collusion hoax and possible corruption by Hunter Biden.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) has barred any members of the Judiciary Committee from attending the closed-door hearings, despite the House Judiciary Committee historically being the main committee dealing with impeachment matters, and despite its chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), first declaring an impeachment inquiry against Trump.

Rather, Pelosi put Schiff in charge of running the “impeachment inquiry” and tasked the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight Committees with investigating Trump.

House Freedom Caucus and member of the Judiciary Committee Andy Biggs (R-AZ) said he tried to attend Wednesday morning’s hearing with witness Michael McKinley, a career diplomat who recently resigned.

“Chairman Schiff and Speaker Pelosi are intentionally running Soviet-style hearings to deprive the American people of representation,” he tweeted.

On Monday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), another member of the Judiciary Committee, tried to attend a hearing but was similarly forced to leave. He told Breitbart News that it took 45 minutes for the House parliamentarian to review whether he could stay for the hearing, which Schiff said he would subtract from the time Republicans had to question the witness.

“This is not a secret meeting to mark up an energy bill — this is a secret meeting to discuss and query the reversal of the will of the American people,” he told Breitbart News.

Schiff on Sunday defended his decision to keep the hearings secret from the American people, saying he feared that Republicans would defend the president and that witnesses could compare answers to each other. He also likened the secret hearings to a “grand jury” — despite there being no crime involved.

Republicans also say that if the House holds a vote on the floor, it would trigger certain rights for Republicans, such as the ability to subpoena witnesses and afford more due process for the president.

But House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) on Tuesday called a full House vote authorizing the inquiry not necessary, according to Politico.

The idea has been met with anxiety among some of the battleground Democrats, who fear it could distract from the agenda, multiple aides told Politico.

Singing Hallelujah with you all. I raise a Hallelulia in the presence of our enemies! Louder than the unbelief. Let’s all raise an Hallelulia! God loves the praise and is deserving of it.

I remember that any such meeting was out in the open. I find it both disgusting and disturbing that congress would let something like this happen. Praying to almighty God that this would not happen in the future.

According to 2 Ch 20:22
I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me
I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!
I raise a hallelujah, with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah, in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah, fear you lost your hold on me!
I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!
Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)
Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)
Sing a little louder!
I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

If you want to pray that the word’s secrets are out in the open, in order to have authority to do that, then you need all of your hidden garbage out in the open FIRST:
1 Peter 4:17 King James Version (KJV)

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

    Blood of Jesus we call for your power to bring confusion in the camp of the enemy. Everything they are doing in secret will come to not. I decree President Trump will not be impeached and he will fulfill his time in the White House in Jesus name. I call for angelic reinforcements tp protect our President, his family and supporters in Jesus name.

Thank You Father GOD for the truth of Your Word and for Your wonderful promises. No weapon formed against you will prosper. There is nothing hidden from your sight. I pray that the Fear of the LORD would come upon those who oppose your will, Your plan and Your purposes. Nothing is too hard for YOU, LORD, as we have clearly seen demonstrated with the American Embassy now established in Jerusalem. Therefore, I ask that You intervene in this current situation and soundly defeat those who oppose Your will and bring to fruition and crown with success the plans that You have for this country.

Psalms 140 turned into prayer.

Rescue (President Trump), O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve (him) from violent men
Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.
They sharpen their tongues as a serpent;
Poison of a viper is under their lips.
Keep (President Trump), O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve (him)from violent men
Who have purposed to trip up his feet.
The proud have hidden a trap for (him), and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set snares for (him)…
“O God the Lord, the strength of our salvation,
You have covered (President Trump’s) head in the day of battle.“Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not promote their evil device, that they not be exalted.
“As for the head of those who surround (him),
May the mischief of their lips cover them.“May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits from which they cannot rise.“May a slanderer not be established in the earth;
May evil hunt the violent man speedily.”
(We) know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor. Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.

Father, years ago Elijah “heard” the words of the king as he spoke in secret. Now O Lord, let there be no doubt that You are hearing all and seeing all. Open the mouths of the prophets to reveal all that is said inside these “secret chambers.”

Father, You are the one who breaks the staff of the wicked and the sceptor of rulers who strike the people with their wrath, those who rule in anger. (Isaiah 14:5-6)
May Your Hand come upon these oppressors and stop them so our President can carry out Your plans and the world will know You are the One True Almighty God.

Dear Lord Jesus, Savior of the world. I thank you for your love, wisdom, guidance and for Your Holy Spirit. You know the hearts of all people. You know the truth Lord. In Your name Lord Jesus I ask You to use the truth to set us free. No matter what things look like, I trust you to expose the lies, corruption, and deception and make straight this path.

This is spiritual warfare Lord. Corruption must go. May Your perfect love cast out all fear and may we all stay in faith. I stand with You Lord Jesus. I give you access to answer my prayers spiritually. The same Holy Spirit that raised you from the grave will shatter the deception and reveal the truth. Open the eyes of the blind Lord in those yearning for the truth. Use this situation to grow your Kingdom. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Come Holy Spirit. Lord God Almighty, bind the deception and reveal the truth in Jesus’ name. Your will, Your ways, Your Word is victory. Thank you for fighting this spiritual battle for us. You are a good, good God. Bless you.
