Let’s seek God for Truth, because Jesus is the Truth. Ask Jesus to guide and direct our media consumption and show us how to intercede for our nation in these times.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (Jn 14:6)
I’m confused. I’m serious. I was in Charlottesville, Virginia, during the riots and what I observed and what I saw in the media’s coverage are, for the most part, two very different narratives.
Although the atmosphere was volatile everywhere I walked, I have to believe that it was Sovereignty that kept me away from the physical confrontations. I did, however, observe verbal ones. I saw various white supremacist groups filled with hate and evil intentions. They were armed with weapons and ready for a fight. I also watched members of Black Lives Matter as well as Communists/Marxists, carrying their hammer and sickle flags. They were also filled with hate and evil intentions.
After returning home thankful that I was not injured, I turned on the television and, as expected, there was wall-to-wall coverage. The media was slamming the various white supremacist groups (and they should). But I immediately noticed something very perplexing. Very little if any coverage was being given to the various Communist and Marxist groups and violent Black Lives Matter and Antifa activists. It was as if the white supremacists were the only ones who were filled with hate. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to show images of the reality that we, who were actually there, observed. It has been several days since the riots, and I’m still waiting. . . .
Simply accusing someone of moral equivalence doesn’t make them guilty of it. The accused might be telling the truth. I realize that to the world the truth doesn’t matter much anymore, but the Jesus who lives in my heart continues to pull me toward Himself and let’s be clear, He is Truth. Jesus always tells His followers, “Just tell the truth.” When someone does not tell the truth, they are not following Him. When we are no longer allowed to tell the truth, our society is soon to collapse.
Our country is descending into chaos before our very eyes. The last thing we should do is retreat to Never Never Land. (Excerpted from The Christian Post, reporting by Brad Huddleston.)

I continue to plead to you to help us American’s who are addicted to comfort and serve this idol by sticking our heads in the sands regarding how bad things are in our country, that we would turn from our rebellion and have a single minded heart toward you. Lord, how good can it be with all the preborn deaths that happen here legally day after day. It was secular citizens who gave the alarm that the planes did not bring down the towers at 9/11. Thank you for our President that knew this just weeks after 9/11, that something very sinister was happening on our soil using the terrorist attack as a blind. Lets go further back, mounting evidence points to Johnson as the man behind the assassination of JFK, and the Viet Nam war a promise he made to his munitions buddies if “he was made president”. Help us Christians here Lord, to deal with the wickedness of the heart of man in honesty, to include our own. May we call out to you Lord for mercy, and for your courage so we see clearly what is happening so we might intercede with focus. Death once and for all to Country Club Christianity, Lord cause us to pick up our crosses and follow You. In Jesus name, Amen
UNITY PRAY FOR TRUMP RALLY
Author Tammy Varholdt 2/15/17
Lord we lift our hands and hearts to you in repentance, prayer and praise as we celebrate the victory of our 45th POTUS Donald J Trump! We humbly ask your forgiveness of our sins as you alone are our final judge. Let us learn from history and choose to UNITE. Lord you ended the debate about life when your son so willingly died on the cross so we may be saved from our sinful ways. ALL LIVES MATTER regardless of race, religion, gender or political views.
UNITY and PEACE are choices each of us make and can be summed up with your most important commandment “love thy neighbor”. Today we bind up and cast out all forms of evil and attacks from individuals or groups who seek to fuel hate, discord or disobedience. Today we say NO MORE; instead we choose to do unto others as we want done unto us. We the people must UNITE as a house divided cannot stand. Today let our actions reflect UNITY as AMERICANS.
Let us examine our hearts, words and actions to reflect a desire for PEACE on earth as it is in heaven. We can agree to disagree on personal views and still remain united as AMERICANS. We must hold our elected officials accountable to work for all of us and demand they become fiscally responsible with our tax dollars. As AMERICANS let us put an end to selfishness, greed and corruption that runs amuck throughout all levels of governing agencies, organizations, social media outlets along with those who seek to fuel civil unrest and destruction throughout your great nation. Today we declare a reset; no more will we take the bait of hate.
If our words or actions do not align to have a positive impact, then let our tongues remain silent. Lord help us take responsibility for peace which begins in our homes, spreads throughout families, churches, schools, communities and society. Today we say ENOUGH; as Americans we are stronger UNITED.
Lord guide us to come together to change our path to ensure a brighter and safer nation for future generations. Lord we thank you for protection over our elected officials, military, police, first responders and to all who desire a peaceful world, let us never forget the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice of life for our freedoms. UNITED we can ALL make America great again. Bless each of us with wisdom and strength to unite so we may prosper as one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. AMEN
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge ; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing. Charity (love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity (love) envieth not; charity (love) vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thibketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in inequity, but Rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believers all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity (love) never faileth. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Savior. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them ; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither letthe mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I amthe Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measureof every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. In Jesus name! Let the media follow Truth. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Heavenly Father, you are good and merciful to your people. We seek your face and your wisdom. The tide of evil that has risen against us your people and our nation would have us give in to fear and discouragement. But we will stand and pray with the belt of truth placed firmly around our waists. We look to you Sovereign Lord for truth. We ask you to expose the lies and deceit for us personally and for our nation. Holy Spirit, we call on you to remove the blinders from our eyes and the eyes of our fellow citizens. Bring godly leadership in the media that will report truthfully and expose false reporting for what it is. May Christians everywhere reach out with hands of love and fellowship of Jesus Christ our only Savior. May all glory and praise be given to our God, our creator and Redeemer. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Lord God, many of us remember Rodney King and the riot that followed in LA. Only a few seconds of a 15 minute police ordeal was used by the media to incite a riot. Lord God, please help us, may Franklin Graham’s prayer come before your throne again that the mouths of lying manipulating media would be stopped as you stopped up the lions mouths, may you favor us, your people here in America as you did Daniel. We thankyou for Your mercy and your love, in Jesus name we pray, Amen
Teach us to number our days Yeshua, for you are drawing near. Teach us to rely and put our trust in You, the only source of Truth for You are the Truth!
Have mercy on us Yahweh. Hear the prayers of the faithful, and may it be done according to Your perfect will.
In your Son’s name we pray.
Amen
I am old enough to remember the “most trusted man in America” and his slanted reports of how the war in Viet Nam was being lost and how most Americans were against it. It totally demoralized our country into withdrawing just short of victory. This was the beginning of news anchors not being objective in their reporting and telling the truth but actually wanting to be the news and pandering to ratings.
There are evil forces afoot that desire to see this country in a civil war so that the “house divided cannot stand” and they can easily take over a weakened, divided country. Some of the media is on their payroll and in line with promoting the agenda of those advocating chaos in order to emerge as the new leaders. We must continue to pray for peace, truth, justice and unity.
Thank you IFA for leading the way in uniting the Christians in this country to remain united and interceding for peace.
God of Justice, raise from your throne GOd, and judge the media and their leaders, for a Spirit of distortion and lies is coming from them deceiving millions of people. Spirit of Slander, Lie, Gossip, and Distortion, in THE NAME OF JESUS We rebuke you by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
Father GOd let your justice cover all media, from Newspapers to televison, radio and online. Father we ask that your justice be done in the Name of Jesus amen.
I feel the news media should be prosecuted for fraudulent, biased & incorrect news releases. Why should they be held to a different standard than the public & other companies who present issues to one another?
In response to the question of where to find “real news”, my favorite sources include this information from Intercessors, Heritage Action, Christian Broadcasting Network, and Breaking Christian News.
Thank-you for this article. While no Trump fan, I had also begun to suspect the media of distorting their reports to make him and Republicans look even worse than they are. Fox and other Trump supportive media are incredibly not credible.Does anyone know where to get “real news”? (That’s a serious question. I’m asking for responses). I am so sick of people seeking to promote their own agenda and vilifying their opponents, rather than seeking to find truth and constructive solutions. Seems like the human default setting.Though it looks to me that the Union of Concerned Scientists and The Nature Conservancy are two groups that do seek facts and, quite creatively, find solutions that address the needs and concerns of ALL parties, and to successfully negotiate their implementation.
May God help us all, and protect His wonderful planet,–Linda Moorhead
Two days ago…it was the anniversary of communists and Nazis signing a nonaggression pact.
Our country…except for during the Cold War and for a few moments when Solzhenitsyns expose on the Vast Soviet concentration camp network came out (The Gulag Archipelago)…seems to give communists a pass…when…they too have enslaved… murdered millions.
The spirit of Anarchy was around…in the 1960s violent activism…I knew this as a child then. And it has returned…
This country NEEDS to get back to GOD !!!!! The media NEEDS to be punished for it’s slanted and fake news !!!!!!!!
As Franklin Graham said before the crowd in Arizona, Lord i ask that you would close the mouths of the lying media like you closed the mouths of the lions in the lions den. Let us, help us to repent and be worthy of your intervention as Daniel was. Help us to stand in the gap for our President and the people who are confused about what is really happening in America. Educate us, your intercessors so we may pray with focus. Draw Americans to news sources that are reliable and give them dicernment. Thank you Lord for all you have done and are doing. Keep us from sticking our heads in the sand. Give us courage Lord, and cause us more and more to know who You are in us, and who we are in YOu. In Jesus name, Amen
