I Prayed have prayed
Father, help our hope to be found in You alone.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Where do we have our HOPE set right now?

In the national scene…

I hope we get done with this COVID mess soon. I hope the election goes well. I hope people’s emotions settle down after the election. I hope truth prevails and this nation comes back to Jesus. I hope the radical agenda of the left doesn’t keep advancing.

In our homes…

I hope my kids come out of their unbiblical thinking. I hope my grandkids are radically saved. I hope my marriage gets stronger. We are all hoping for a brighter day!

The Lord has been speaking to me through this old hymn about setting my hope on things above and not on earthly things.

“My Hope Is Built”

I invite you today to take all of those hopes and desires and turn them into a prayer, but then set your eyes on the Rock that will never fail

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,

I rest on his unchanging grace;

in ev’ry high and stormy gale,

my anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, his covenant, his blood

support me in the whelming flood;

when all around my soul gives way,

he then is all my hope and stay.

When he shall come with trumpet sound,

O may I then in him be found,

dressed in his righteousness alone,

faultless to stand before the throne.

I try to see the Lord in most everything. Lately His Will seems obscured to me. Can you please help me see His Will? We might not manage to see it because His Will is huge and far reaching. But if you think about positives things coming from the loss of this election can you please share them with me? I shudder for our future under this coming administration. Another step, it is, toward Globalism.

Father God, there are 18 states that are traditionally considered a “blue wall” because the Democrats think they are “safe” for them. But, Jesus, you have never met a wall you couldn’t walk through. You have never seen a wall you couldn’t march around a few times and watch fall. You saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven because he didn’t belong there. Satan does not belong in America, Lord. This is YOUR land. This is OUR land. We pray, O Lord, you would breathe the breath of life into all who are in death in these 18 states. I prophesy to the breath and say, come forth from the north, the south, the east and the west into these 18 states to bring life where there is death, hope where there is despair, love where there is hate, truth where there are lies, pro-life where there is pro-abortion. I proclaim the sovereignty of God over these states and all states in our great nation. All who do not follow the way of God will one day bow down to Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Let it be so, Lord. Amen.

I haven’t hear that song for years but it resonates: On that solid rock I stand..oh, yes. And, the Lord has led me this weekend in deliverance of sin from generational curses as he took me back through years in which He saved my life, healed me, set me free to continue even as He has worked Miracles of deliverance and healing in my children and now my grandchildren.
On this solid rock I stand, no other has..

Jesus Christ is our only hope for 2020 circumstances. To live is Christ to die is gain. We should not grow weary in well doing but seek His direction for the next steps and Pray unceasingly for His glory to be revealed in all the earth. God bless His Word that sets our mind on His perfect peace and will. Amen

Thank You Father-God for Christ Jesus the cross and the resurrection. Your will be done, let the church anchored their hope on Christ Jesus alone. In Jesus name we pray and thank You. Amen.

“Controlvid” has been over for a long time. Masks serve no purpose except to show who is willing to be controlled. “Emotions” that need to calm down are paid rioters. When they are no longer paid for rioting, they’ll stop. The American people are experiencing a coup. If President Trump is re-elected, the insurrectionists will re-double their efforts until they are arrested, or destroy our nation. You can hope whatever you want, but unless you’re to pray, vote, and stand for biblical values your hope is futile.

Amen! Amen! This is a “ know so” hope and His name is Jesus.
He is the answer to every question.
