The Bible warns that “if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?” (1 Corinthians 14:8). Today, America faces such a moment of decision. While Washington spends its attention on Ukraine and the Middle East, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is amassing the most formidable military challenge our nation has encountered in generations.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
China’s rapid buildup is staggering: a navy of over 370 warships, hundreds of missile silos, stealth aircraft, fortified islands in the South China Sea, and a fast-growing space and cyber force. Beijing even presses into the Arctic under the guise of “research.” All the while, U.S. forces remain stretched thin, underfunded, and dependent on aging platforms from a bygone Cold War posture.
The imbalance is striking. A single American aircraft carrier costs $13 billion; China can build swarms of anti-ship missiles for a fraction of the price. U.S. missile defenses, while advanced, are limited and could be overwhelmed in hours by coordinated Chinese barrages. Stockpiles of munitions, resilient supply chains, and shipbuilding capacity all lag far behind what would be needed in a sustained conflict.
This is not a distant or hypothetical danger. Xi Jinping has declared that the “reunification” of Taiwan is a historical mission, and has ordered the People’s Liberation Army to be prepared by 2027. History shows that Chinese leaders do not wait for perfect readiness before striking. Already, Beijing employs tactics short of war—daily incursions near Taiwan, cyberattacks, and coercive diplomacy—to weaken deterrence without firing a shot.
China’s strategy is clear: stretch America thin abroad, exploit economic and military gaps, and slowly shift the balance of power until freedom is in retreat. If the United States continues “fiddling while Rome burns,” we risk handing the 21st century to a communist regime hostile to liberty and faith.
The time is late, but it is not too late. History—and Heaven—will not forgive a nation that squandered its blessings while evil advanced unchecked.

I pray dear Lord that you have filled Donald Trump with your Holy Spirit to lead and guide him through these coming days. We know that things will become difficult in the end times so we pray for courage and strength to persevere until Your return. Your will be done! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
It would be more truthful to say that the cultural wars have been a distraction to our having the will to deal with building up our navy. Military leaders were pointing it out many years before the Ukraine war. so the Ukraine war has not been a contributing factor. The military focuses on what they are ordered to focus on. And the Ukraine war has actually forced us to deal with some of the issues. Identifying what is holding us back is essential in order for us to turn this around.
And, yes, we need to have focused prayer against the coming confrontation and the build up of the Chinese’s military and their increasing aggression.
Lord, frustrate the purposes of the Chinese leadership! Throw them into confusion! Let fear of war and of America take over the hearts of the Chinese people! Let more moderate voices take control!
Dear Father in the name of Jesus I asked for your protection against China and it oppressive regime. I pray that you would give President Trump wisdom in making decision concerning what needed to be done to china. My your angel give charge over America and it troop and people. We know that you are in charge of all what happens in the earth and I come to you as your child making this request unto my heavenly father. I love you and thank you for answer prayer.
MAGA, by definition looks at the world and tries to realign it according to what is to the advantage of the United States. God has a blue print for the order that He wants established, and it is not necessarily centered around one country or in other words, MAGA”s vision. It is acceptable for a site to be praying for their country but they need to be praying for the place that their country is to take in God’s blue print.
It has actually been an intentional military strategy on our part, to try and weaken Russia by supporting Ukraine and to send a message to China that we had the will to support our allies. MAGA doesn’t understand this and has actually been weakening our military strategy.
A confrontation which China would be mostly NAVAL. One of the reasons we are behind China is that our ship building capacity has dropped to 1% of the ships built today. During war, a country has to be able to repair their ships. Helena, a navy submarine, has been in port for six years for repairs and is still not had a date set as to when that can occur.
In 2013 Seth Cropsey’s book, Mayday: The Decline of American Naval Supremacy, was published. It was followed by a second book, SeaBlindness. In 2021, Senators Roger Wicker, Susan Colins and Angus King tried to sponsor the Shipyard Act but it was held up Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. During the 2023 election debate, Nikki Haley brought up the need to improve our ship building capacity. So, individual political and military leaders have tried to draw attention to the issue.
This is NOT OPINION. It is an acknowledgement of reality. It takes political clout to push through legislation and money to turn a situation like this around. Presidents Obama, Trump and Biden were briefed by their military advisers about the situation. None of them took a leadership role or spent political capital on it.
While there was some reporting of the need, the information was not picked up by either of the MAGA or Progressive news sources which were mostly focused on cultural issues. When mentioned, the public did not respond. Ukraine has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT because significant money would need to be earmarked for NAVY shipbuilding to get a dead industry off the ground. This would be in addition to the normal military budget. So, blame can be spread around.
I have mentioned it on this site and was told that it was my opinion and the IFA responded weeks later with a posting which blamed Ukraine.
Actually you are wrong about Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine has cost Russia equipment and lives. The sanctions have weakened its economy. World leaders seem to believe that Russia will make a move into Europe about the same time as China makes a move on Taiwan. If what they believe will happen does occur, it will be a much weaker Russian force that Europe and America will have to confront.
Supplying weapons to Ukraine has forced Congress to confront our weakened military industrial base and given us four years to build more factories and to change supply lines based on real world experience. Without Ukraine, there would have been no incentive for Congress to do anything.
Our equipment has been tested in the Ukrainian battlefield and we have found what works and what does not. For example, we found that our tanks can be taken out with drones, so we changed our design as we as battle strategy. Because of Ukraine, we have developed new technologies for a new type of war and have real world experience with using it. This is in contrast to the Chinese who are just now getting involved with Ukraine.
We sent Ukraine our old equipment that was in storage and Congress provided funds for us to replace them with new equipment.
The focus on Ukraine has been one of the few advantages we have over the Chinese.
So, I repeat for the 95% that missed it: our MAIN ADVANTAGE over China has been our real world experience in Ukraine and that we have military leaders who have battlefield experience in the Middle East.
Due to the situation in Israel and Ukraine, our national defense has been neglected. We need to be vigilant against the tactics of the CCP. Their agenda towards America is not at all good. Lord Jesus, please cause our national leaders to focus upon the imminent threat that China truly poses to our national welfare. Please give our leaders the guidance and wisdom needed to maintain our nation against this threat. Thank You Jesus.
Lord, You define the boundaries of the nations, be they natural or of any other ‘nature’. They must all bow to Your Sovereign will. I trust You to restrain the giant. You have a destiny for every nation and people group, including China – but until the timing for her destiny is to be fulfilled – restrain her as only You know how. May our leadership cooperate in that process of restraining her, and not allow her influence in our nation to increase – in order to protect our nation’s sovereignty and our citizens. We desire the peoples of every nation and people group to hear and respond to the Gospel – send it forth it power in this day. The harvest is ripe – expand the labor force needed to bring it in!! Bless the body of Christ, and protect them from evil regimes that would attempt to silence them – that indigenous voices may be heard throughout the earth!
Agreed!!!
😎👊💪🙏⚔️☝️🇺🇸
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE SAVE US FROM OUR ENEMIES.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
meanwhile at the local level believers should be shining light in our own neighborhoods and getting involved in local government , schools boards, libraries, the places where corruption, lies and perversion are being spewed.
Our Father in heaven- you are All powerful. Have mercy on your America. You fight the battle for us as we cry out and put our full faith in you alone. Continue to fuel your prayer warriors as you move in hearts to bring revival- conquering all forces of evil. We trust you. We love with our whole hearts😇
Unfortunately, that’s not all folks. China is trying to assemble a large Marxist block to our South. Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Nicurauga, are all being influenced by Narcos and Communism, with Chinese help. It is similar to Iran’s proxy war against Israel. Lord I pray you would break up this alliance, save Mexico, uproot Maduro, and divide any agreements with China. Guide the Trump Admin and the Military in their efforts to dry up the Cartels. Cause South Americans and Mexicans to have revival and adhere to Biblical financial Principals so they can prosper under your hand. Bless Argentina and other Countries trending toward righteousness and honoring Israel. Lord I look to You to supernaturally defeat Marxism in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Anoint us to win against this “Giant” Lord. Hallelujah 🔥🔥🇺🇸🦅
In times like these, its a blessing to have His Word to guide us! We need to stay steady, in season and out of season, readiness is studying out of season, and the spiritual battles we are in, is in season! Ephesians is such a great letter of Paul, written for exhortation, instruction and encouragement. One to definitely read as we are preparing for our walk with Jesus Christ, and for guidance in being His workers in His church, His bride! In the last chapter, of Eph. 6:10-20, we are told how to gear up from the wiles of the devil, and pray for boldness, being watchful, praying always with all our prayers made in supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end, being with all perseverance and supplication for all saints…We are all as members of His church, saints, not ” Sainted” as in a denominational title, but as His represenatives of His church, and stewards of our Faith in Him. We are to put on our whole armor of God withstand the wiles of the devil. We are to stand up strong in The Lord, and power of His might, in the evil day! It is an evil day, we are living in, as each generation before us have also. There was the presence of evil, always to lead us away from our Savior and our Father!
We are looking to our president, to lead us out of one bad policy after another, that took our country to almost the ends of our rights and freedoms, to just be Christians, and so much more! But, our president is just a man, and can only do so much, without prayers and supplication, and all of us walking and praying in The Lord!
The last thing, in regards to yet another evil entity, using China, to entice our government and President Trump away, from our Father’s plan, is it was just mentioned this morning, in news on RAV, (Real Americas Voice), President Trump is considering allowing 600,000 college stidents in to our colleges! Please, please pray against this idea! After all we have just been through, and almost had our food supplies poisoned by Chinese college students, our very country poisoned by their cooperative plan with evil scientists etc. by vaccines and plagues, how could this even be a consideration?
Sisters and Brothers in Jesus Christ, this is not anti China, its being vigilant in protecting our country from the evils of this generation from China coerced and brainwashed to be Communists and destroying our nation! Many , many satanic forces are about, we need to Satnd Up Against it all! Keep praying against it all, teach your children well, lets Do This!
Dear Father in heaven,
Hear us Oh Lord, Guide us in all Your ways, and means. Let us be open to Your Word, to obey, and be strong against all that comes against us. Forgive us all, in the weaknesses of our minds and spirits, while not being watchful or diligent in serving You, and obeying Your Word!
Give our President Trump and his advisors wisdom and strength against ill fated decisions towards policies that have evil intentions from our enemies!
You Know our nations needs and struggles, and what our duties are to be as citizens, here on earth, and in heaven! Please help us to know better!
Thank you Father,
In Jesus Christ’s Name,
Amen
WELL written!!
And, Amen!!
Thank you SueB
May God Bless you in your walk with Him
It’s time to seek the Lord for repentance, wisdom and action.
