I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we ask on behalf of our nation and its leaders that we would have courage to resist manipulation, pressure and the fear of man.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

With a 50-50 split in the United States Senate, there are two things Joe Biden cannot afford: Democrat defections and a filibuster. Senate rules require 60 votes for cloture to move on legislation, and recent years have turned the filibuster into an obstruction tactic by the minority party.

Senator Joe Manchin, a moderate Democrat from the very red state of West Virginia, has found himself in a very powerful position. His support or opposition to key legislation could make or break Joe Biden’s agenda in Congress. . . .

So, it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow at the fact that Joe Biden has nominated Gayle Conelly Manchin, Senator Joe Manchin’s wife, to co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, which is an economic development partnership with 13 states designed “to innovate, partner, and invest to build community capacity and strengthen economic growth in Appalachia.” . . .

This nomination comes at a time when Manchin has publicly expressed opposition to extreme gun control, a $15 minimum wage, and eliminating the filibuster. . . .

It is not unprecedented for the spouse of a member of Congress to serve in an executive branch position. For example, Senator Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao served as transportation secretary under President Trump and labor secretary under President George W. Bush.

But it’s hard to ignore the special circumstances surrounding Mrs. Manchin’s nomination that suggests, regardless of her qualifications, an ulterior motive by Joe Biden, or whoever it is making his decisions for him.

God, please lift up Senator Manchin and his wife, who both appear to be a target of manipulation to support an agenda. Please provide a hedge of protection around them and all evil that surrounds us in our country and world. I ask the Holy Spirit, living in each of the Manchin’s hearts, to fill them both with wisdom and humility to make Godly choices. Guide Senator Manchin to vote as Jesus would have done. Thank you for loving us all equally no matter what our political view might be and please forgive us of our sins. Help us all to make good choices.
As we approach the saddest day and gladdest days, only three days apart, help us to recognize the ultimate sacrifice you made; dying for all of us equally, paying forward forgiveness of our sins. Lord I pray for no condemnation from we the people, but for a revival for we the people in The United States of America, our world, and specifically our government. Thy will will be done on earth, as it is in heaven, can’t wait. In Jesus name I pray, and thank you for dying on the cross for us all, so that we can have eternal life. Amen💖

God I lift Up Our Country to You in the Mighty Name of Jesus and call all Hearts back to God and I enclosed Senator Manchin in a Circle of the Blood of Jesus that speaks with the Power of My Faith in Him and My Faith is “Sold Out” and I know He is God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the Trinity lives in Us through the Power I speak God’s Word in Faith and In Jesus Name as I am doing Now over this Man Who is standing for Us as One Nation under the Only True God and I declare all of Us (God’s Children) stand with Him on Earth as It is in Heaven and all Heaven is standing at attention and being dispatched by the Power of Our Prayers and No weapon formed against Us or this Man will prosper in That Mighty Name and I pray in It and Say Amen

Father, I pray for Senator Joe Manchin to realize that he has been placed in a critical position at this time in history. I pray that he will not give in to any kind of political pressure; that he will not be concerned about politics as much as he is about standing before a Holy God and give an account for the stand that he takes for righteousness in this hour. I pray that his votes will be out of genuine concern for our nation and above all, putting God first in all he does. The people in his state have confidence that he will protect the constitution and their God-given rights. Help him to do so, Father. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen.

Senator Manchin, you are the one individual who will decide if our Constitution remains as IS, or open the door to radical changes. Once this happens, The United states will fundamentally change for ever!

I pray for senator joe manchin to have the courage to do the right thing. I pray that he realize he is in the position he is in because the people in his state have confidence that he will protect the constitution and their God-given rights. Help him to realize that he will answer not only to the people but to the Lord Jesus Christ for the decisions he makes. I pray this in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

Senator Cruz reports that in the 9 years he has served with Manchin, Manchin likes to keep everyone in suspense but always votes with his party in the end. If he votes for America rather than his party, it will be a miracle. Lord, we pray for one now.

I decree that Senator Manchin will not bow to a manipulaltion tactic and bibery and I loose proper representation of his people on him. I loose righteousness over him and doing the right thing. I decree he will not be bribed and will stand up for truth. I decree other moderate democrats will break rank and vote contrary to the radical left agenda bills. I decree division in the democratic party for divine destiny purposes in America and I ask the Father to loose angels as he deems appropriate for this purpose. Jesus is LOrd over the Senate especially in relationship to unconstitutional bills and will cause intense resistence and failure of ungodly bills and laws. No weapon against formed against righteous actions will prosper in our government. DC is the district of Christ and the baal Columbia is being dethroned. Exposure and prosecution is and will continue to come forth in God’s isachar timing for the destiny purposes of America in American government at all 3 levels. The gates of Hell will not prevail against the church.

This should not be a surprise to anyone! Senator Manchin realizes the exact “position” he is in and how to use it to his advantage! And….he will. We will see where Senator Manchin and his wife really stand soon. If he makes the wrong decision, I believe West Virginia will vote against him next election. However, I believe Sen. Manchin, by then, will have another position. We are seeing deception from those that we thought would be “loyal” to our country. Our hope, our trust, is in the Lord. Our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth! Man will always fail us, God never will.

Dear Lord, send your Holy Spirit to touch the heart of Senator Joe Manchin and his wife to not give into Joe Biden’s “buying” of senate votes. Send your Spirit to also touch the heart of Joe Biden and help him realize that he is leading America on a path to sin and not on a path towards God and his will. With the intercession of Mother Mary’s Immaculate Heart, I pray that Joe Manchin, his wife, and Jose Biden start to realize the will of God and do it without hesitation.

Stopping to pray Lord for Mr. Manchin and his wife, precious Lord please prick both of their hearts softening them to hear your voice and stand for what is right even to the point of Mrs. Manchin losing her nomination. Let your Holy spirit surround these 2 and draw them ever closer to you. Let Mr. and Mrs. Manchin remember the Godly values that America was founded upon. Please cause the schemes of the wicked one to fail, thank you Lord for all that you have done, are doing and WILL do, in Jesus precious and mighty name, amen.

DC is, as Trump stated, a perpetual swamp. It’s my guess that at least 50% of the politicians there were literally born without a backbone.
Lord, continue to hear our prayers. Remove legislators that are constantly compromising and corrupt… replace them with those who will follow Your ways, honor the law and serve the people instead of themselves or a political party. Amen.

I pray that as a couple they would seek Your and see this as a conflict of interest. I pray Mrs. Manchin will honor her husband and not allow the enemy to bring division in a home for political gain. Open their eyes father to see truth and to walk with Your counsel and Your wisdom. Give them Grace and courage to see and to walk with boldness in doing the right thing.

Heavenly Father,
I believe this is worse than buying Senator Manchin’s support. It feels more like spiritual and political entrapment.
In Jesus’s name I take authority over a spirit of compromise and spirit of entrapment off of Senator Manchin , and bind those spirits.
May he function according to a freedom from this kind of devious seduction and truly see this for what it is.
May he be drawn to You by the power of your Holy Spirit.

The November 3rd fraud on our judiciary process and the deceit perpetrated against the American people took the last of my support for any of the players. On both sides of the political aisle.
If there’s life on other planets, are they as corrupt and devious as mankind?
Heavenly Father, please help us. We’ve come undone and are desperate for You.

    Giving Mrs Manchin a sweet govt job means access to Sen Manchin by proxy

    Now she will be exposed and used against him if balks with the plan
    Putting the squeeze on Sen Manchin indirectly

    Only my opinion unless she turns out to be an iron butterfly

    God send angels over them both

    By offering his wife a plum position, it might be a quid pro quo in exchange for Manchin’s voting to drop the filibuster. Voting against the filibuster would enable him to then technically vote “no” on HR1 and HR5 to save face, but deliver the vote for the Democrats via the filibuster removal.

Please pray and contact the Senator through his web site to let him know you appreciate his courage in not going along with the things he knew were wrong in the past. And that you are praying for him now as he is the gatekeeper against the Socialist party taking The United States of America.

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha’olam, Lord please strengthen those in the Democrat party who still can hear Your voice. Please grant wisdom and godly logic. Please protect Senator Manchin, especially from threats and voices that will try to coerce him in the wrong direction. Help us, Adonai, as a NATION and as individuals to completely bow our faces to You and humble ourselves.

I pray for Senator Manchin, but I put no faith in mankind. He has disappointed me numerous times. I realize he is surrounded by wolves and AntiChrists. I imagine the pressure is huge! He is either there for his state and the constitution to uphold or he is there to gain acceptance from the Democrats which I’m sorry many of us call “demon-o-RATS. Their bad rotten fruit implies they are controlled by demons is all I’m saying. God loves them. I pray they all are set free from Satan’s enslavement to evil to repentance and a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ.

Please instill within him the “fear of the Lord” and shield him from the “fear of man”. In Jesus’ name, amen.
