I Prayed have prayed
We desire to have the faith we need in these days Lord, to do what you have called us to do. Open our eyes more fully, help us to see what is possible only with your power, and use us to save our Republic.
Reading Time: 5 minutes

When do you think the Church in China realized they were an underground Church? When do you think the believers in Venezuela realized the State was trying to shut them down? When did Church leaders realize Hitler’s maniacal mission would lead to millions of deaths? Does the Church is the US realize the gravity of our situation?

All of these questions are questions I have been wrestling with lately. It is easy to look back in the history of another country and identify the critical moments where the downward spiral toward dictatorship or communism was completed. But how do you discern where we are in the moment? I believe this is the role of the intercessor as we stand on our watch looking at the horizon determining the state of our union, yet listening to heaven to hear God’s point of view.

Make sure you read the end of the article concerning how we should pray or download the NEW prayer guide: Five Ways to Build Mountain-Moving Faith.

Please don’t misunderstand my comments a false mixing of nationalism with Christianity, rather understand my comments in the midst of Jesus’ mandate to see God’s kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

I want to suggest there are five signs we could be losing our republic:

  1. Fraudulent elections. Without fair elections our democratic republic is lost. We at IFA have covered the election audits quite a bit. I have read many polls over the recent months that indicate there are millions of people who believe there was voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election. As Arizona finishes their audit and some findings are released, legitimate concerns are being documents, including 70,000 more ballots WERE counted than mailed out. Lawmakers have demand similar audits in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and most recently Texas.

For the sake of the republic, these audits must go forward to answer the looming question over the 2020 election. Even those who believe there was not fraud must, for the sake of our nation, come to the conclusion the integrity of our elections must protected.

  1. State Run Media. This past week the White House announced they formed an official partnership with Social Media giants under the guise: Misinformation limits our freedoms. Do you understand the double speak on that Orwellian statement? We must limit freedom of speech because what you could hear limits (our definition of) freedom!

The White House has walked back this partnership, but the fact that those controlling the progressive agenda have moved past, what appears to be, a coordinated effort with Social Media news outlets to a formal, public relationship.

  1. Patriots Labeled Terrorists. Recently in a congressional hearing General Miley describes the cause of the “January 6th insurrection” to be white rage. This is not just wrong; it is a flat out lie. A General in our army must have access to intelligence, and let me tell you the best intelligence is intelligence gathered on the ground. I was on the grounds of the Capitol all day on January 6th, on the lawn for a prayer event. I was there from 9:00 until 5:00 and I can tell you NEVER did I see ANY expression or obvious motivation from protesters that was racial in ANY form.  Thousands were at the Capitol to encourage lawmakers to ensure we have free and fair elections. (Antifa was clearly there, yet this is not discussed at all). The most violent attacks occurred before President Trump finished his speech and were mostly met by Capitol Police passively standing aside. Hundreds remain in jail today because they entered the Capitol building. To be clear, I told everyone I witnessed attempting to go into the building that they should not do it – it was against the law!

Now these patriots that were at the Capitol on January 6th are at risk of being described as a terrorist.

Speaker Pelosi has begun creating Capitol Police offices in states around the country to eliminate threats against lawmakers! This past week rallies featuring members of our Congress have been cancelled by governmental officials stating concerns over security.

Patriots being labeled terrorists.

  1. The Church Is an Enemy of the State. Recently the IRS denied Bunni Pounds application for 5019 (c) 3 status for her organization, Christian’s Engaged, because:

“…you educate Christians on what the bible says…(on) sanctity of life, definition of marriage, biblical justice, freedom of speech…The Bible teachings are typically affiliated with the (Republican) party and candidates. This disqualifies you from exemption under IRC Section 501 (c) (3).

Teachings of the Bible are “typically affiliated” with a political party (not another) and because Biblical values are shared by some politicians these beliefs disqualify this organization from receiving tax-exempt status.

The code says tax-exempt organization: “are absolutely prohibited…participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of…any candidate for elective public office…certain voter education activities…conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity…On the other hand, voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another…will constitute prohibited participation or intervention.”

Ms. Pound utilized legal counsel to appeal the IRS’ decision, was successful and was granted exempt status.  The problem remains, those of us with biblical values risk being squelched as anti-god candidates run for office because their views clearly oppose ours and to say they oppose our values, could by some, be deemed illegal political speech.

  1. Government Buying Loyalty. President Biden announced recently that his administration would begin giving to the parents/custodians of children a $300 a month allowance. God’s heart for the role of government was never for people to rely upon government over the long term. During desperate times lawmakers make unusual decisions. God’s way – and God’s economic laws – cannot be denied. Our leaders decision during the Covid outbreak resulted in the unemployed receiving more by sitting at home than working, now as the economy shifts back to normal there is a shortage of workers, requiring employers to increase their employees’ wages just to get them off the couch. All of this is inflationary, ratcheting up the cost of everything and imposing an artificial minimum wage.

Now, once again, lawmakers are pouring money – which is borrowed – into the economy, giving it away for free, that will result in millions of households adjusting their spending habits to spend the $300 per child leading to dependence upon the government (and inflation).

Lawmakers will need to promise further benefits for these reliant households, buying their loyalty.

Are these signs strong enough to cause you to pray? What would those of the underground Church in China say as they would appraise what is happening in America? What about Believers in Venezuela? What about protesters in Cuba? What about rioters in South Africa?

The Church must wake up. This is our moment to be the sounding alarm. This is the time to pray with extraordinary faith. Please download the new prayer guide and pray through how you could increase your faith to “Mountain-Moving Faith.”

America’s earliest settlers made covenants with God to serve and proclaim Him throughout the earth. Thank You, Father, You always keep Your covenants. You never break them. You are not a man that You should lie or a son of man that You should change Your mind. You speak and act. You promise and fulfill. (Numbers 23:19) Thank You, Father, that America will continue in these covenants. Thank You that we will always be free to worship You. Thank You that America will always be a Christian nation. Psalm 105:8, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Hebrews 13:8

We are called to PRAY at IFA. We are NOT called to critique, to criticize, correctly punctuate, use the proper grammar, etc., etc.!! Our country is in BIG trouble, we are “going over a cliff,” spiritually, physically and mentally! This is a time, to come together, and pray, like we have NEVER prayed before! The time is urgent, it’s more than an emergency!! Dave Kuball is,and has been, ” SOUNDING THE ALARM!” The role of the intercessor has NEVER been so needed in our country!! Let’s forget all this other stuff! Truly, I say this in love. My intention is not to anger anyone or hurt anyone. Please, let’s pray! God bless you all.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to have the faith we need in these difficult times. Use us to save our Republic and help us to do our part, show us how, please Lord. It is unfortunate that still so many Churches and Christians have not awakened during these crisis unfolding in our country. Help more of us turn from our sin, repent, and turn back to You, Oh Lord! Your Word says just that; if you turn from your sin, repent, and turn back to me I will hear from Heaven and heal Your land. Sadly, many are not doing that. Help awaken us Lord, and do our part to help save our Republic, for once it is lost it will be virtually impossible to get it back, along with our freedoms! Open our eyes more fully and help us to see what is possible only in Your power. In Jesus name and Authority, Amen.

Thank you, Dave. Everything you have written is so true! It is hard not to be overwhelmed with what we see going on!! I would feel much better IF I saw the church “waking up” but I’m not seeing that! I believe God’s Word is very clear, He says, “if My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways, and seek My face, THEN, I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND HEAL THEIR LAND!! It looks to me, like everything DEPENDS on our willingness to do just that!! Sadly, many are not!
I am believing, though, that IFA is called, to stand in the gap, and pray, pray, pray!! It’s not over until God says it’s over! Sound the alarm, pray in faith! We serve a Great God! Nothing is impossible with Him! But, we must do our part!

I’m asking God’s discernment and wisdom as I write this. What David shared in this article is obviously what we have been privy to and it should absolutely stir us to action. And I am excited to say that it is indeed what is happening in our Country and around the world. Praise be to God!
That aside I would like to add my two cents if you will about what has transpired in the comments. Jennifer, God Bless you. I too noticed all of the grammatical errors and was a bit taken aback. Just surprised there were so many. Yes, there are more pressing issues. But, it’s till important for us to brush our teeth each day and make our bed and yes look over a story for errors before we send it out. I even do that with my texts. Just habit I suppose. Now, does that take away from the importance of the article, of course not. But if we are trying to maintain a FREE Country then Jennifer has every right to share her opinion. She did not purposely hurt anyone’s feeling or be mean. She wrote what I was thinking. And I may not have a double major but I noticed the errors and that does not exempt hers or my thoughts about the errors. My goodness, I was more shocked with the intentional rude comments that followed regarding her willingness to call it out and in a gracious way if you ask me. Seems there is a lot of scripture that y’all should be reading before commenting. I know we are in unprecedented times but the intentional ‘I’m better and/or know better than you’ is not helping. Gods grace covers it all I just find it very hypocritical that one doesn’t like the ‘unnecessary’ comment of someone else and then sends one of their own and uses one’s academic background as justification. I’m sorry but if someone is an English major and didn’t see mistakes. Well, I’m just saying. And so what if you didn’t think to comment? She did. That’s her right. And of course, it’s everyone else’s right to rebuttals. But if you look them all over the rebuttals seemed a lot more unnecessary and rude.
Again, the errors certainly don’t take away from the importance of the article. Can we just please stop. Can we rise up together regardless and get along and have compassion and understanding. I pray you were not offended Jennifer. God’s will be done. Let’s find things to laugh about today. It’s good medicine.
Blessings to all! In the Name of Jesus

We made “In God We Trust” our National motto for a reason. We added “under God” in our Pledge of Allegiance for a reason. We added “The National Day of Prayer” for a reason. All this happened in the early 1950’s.

Unless we remember the reasons we did these things, we will collapse just as all the other nations did. Please pray for a revival and/or A Great Awakening in the U.S.A. by the grace of God Almighty. Amen. This is our ONLY hope. Amen again.

Lord God,

Yes, things don’t look good for our republic but because You are sovereign we know we can trust You. This is part of the sifting, the shaking of our nation, Your church reminding us that this world is not our home! As Christians we have been given the privilege to intercede for others and to share the gospel. We call out injustice, speak for those who have no voice and give warning for what is to come. We do this without fear because You are God and You are working Your perfect plan. Jesus warned us that when we see these things to look up for our redemption draws near. We don’t fall into hopelessness or defeat. We recall Your works in the past and we continue to run the race set before us. We push on with endurance and perseverance facing all fear and opposition through the power of Your Holy Spirit armed with the Word of Truth and faith in the God who gives and takes away for our good and His glory. We belong to You and You have promised to never leave us nor forsake us. If the republic falls, You are still sovereign. If the republic falls, You are still in control and if the republic falls, we still have a hope and a future that You have planned for us. Thank You Lord for Your sustaining, life giving mercy and grace! We hold fast to You! You alone! We are thankful for the freedoms You have so richly blessed us with, but our hearts long for freedom in You and that freedom can not be taken away by over reaching, authoritarian governments! Maranatha Lord Jesus! Come quickly, ready Your Bride for the season is clear for those who have eyes to see. In Your Name we pray!

We are learning. The veil is lifting from the past 100 years albeit painfully and slowly. For great encouragement and help praying, go to GiveHim 15, July 21 on Dutch Sheets.org. . His brother Tim gave a powerful word on the AntiChrist. It explains and breaks down who and what we are dealing with, “the god of humanism”. Very powerful, very helpful! Tim’s daughter, Rachael, also wrote an anthem at his request with decrees and declarations, also beautiful! It is linked to Dutch’s site! We are learning to face the Giants! Also Robert Heidlers teaching on doing just that very thing from July 18 on Glory of Zion! Psalm 103 in a Powerful, new way! Praise God for His gifts and benefits to us His children! And His faithful ones who stand and deliver!❤️

Duplicated from DeSantis article…..FEAR NOT

Salvation. When I was thinking about this I searched “the number of steps involved in salvation.” There are many opinions about this number. Paul’s Philippian jailer asked him, “what must I do to be saved?” Paul’s reply, “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” But we also read what Jesus told his disciples, “no one can come to Me unless the Father has enabled them.”

I have read the Bible for years in many translations, almost daily…IT is still a “mystery deep and rich in the wisdom and knowledge of God”… Father, to YOU alone is “Praise and Glory, Wisdom and Thanks, Honor and Power and Strength.” To YOU alone I pray for salvation to come to all those who are opposing You. To YOU alone I pray for a feast of faith as YOU prepare a table before our enemies and anoint our heads from Your overflowing cup. I pray the table is bigger than we can imagine as you usher in salvation. I ask this in the Name of The Messiah, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

steps in salvation ; Acts 16:30-31; John 6:65; Romans 11:33-36; Revelation 7:12; Psalm 23

Dave, I always appreciate your thoughtful and insightful comments. All the points you made are right on, but I would suggest, as one other commenter pointed out, that we have already lost, and your list of 5 things is actually the proof. The question is, can we regain what we’ve lost without bloodshed. There have been abundant warning signs and many voices speaking out for decades, but we didn’t take appropriate steps. Part of the problem is very fuzzy understanding of the nature of civil government, society and culture vs. the Kingdom of God and how those interact and our roles and positions in them.
A better/clearer understanding is essential as we go forward. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is great help in gaining that understanding.

Re: Bunni Pounds…
Please consider applying for 501(c) 4
which does not limit your Christian voice to speak truth.

President LBJ knew that 501(c)3 was good for keeping non-profit status Christians from speaking against the government, just so their tax-exempt status would remain in effect. We must know that we must not serve 2 masters, just Jesus Christ.
Hope this is researched and a good option is revealed !

A Prayer for Help
Isaiah 64
Oh, that You would [a]rend the heavens!
That You would come down!
That the mountains might shake at Your (A)presence—
2 As fire burns brushwood,
As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3 When (B)You did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world
(C)Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
(D)In these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved….

God is the God of the impossible what you just described is impossible for us to regain or recover from. And it looks like we have lost our country. Our only advantage is when Paul asked 3 times to remove a burden & he was told my grace is enough. In our weakness, He is made strong. Also, he warned the disciples this day is coming. Pray for the weak; Pray for the intercessor; Pray for our leaders. Those days have come.

Father God I pray for Your body here in this nation to WAKE UP, this is not the time to slumber or to slink back or to fear. You have not given the spirit of fear Father but the Spirit of power of love and of self control (discipline). Thank You Father for IFA and the opportunity to read and have our eyes opened to truth. Shake us out of this slumber and infuse is with the Spirit of the Lion of Judah that we would stand boldly and speak out the truth in love and we would NOT shrink back in fear of what someone might say or what label they may slap on us!! The greatest label we should seek is Follower of Christ, doer of the Word and not a hearer only. Father impress on the heart of those who have read this article, not only the truth contained but the severity of the time in which we stand. Share, share, share!!! Get the word out and allow the Spirit to move in the hearts of the people. First awaken the remnant from their sleep then repentance will come!! As we humble ourselves and seek His battle plan we stand as more than conquerors.
I pray along with David in Psalm 10 and 11. Arise now and crush Your enemies Father!! How dare the wicked think they will escape Your judgement, believing that You won’t call them to account for all their ways?? Don’t let the wicked get away with their contempt for You, we know You see their deeds. In the name of Jesus, Break the power of the wicked and ALL their strong armed tactics!! Search them out and destroy them!!
Father, we ask You what can Your righteous ones do when truth’s pillars are destroyed and law and order collapse?
Father we put our hope and trust in You alone. You are the eternal One who IS NEVER SHAKEN!! You are still found in Your temple of holiness reigning as Lord and King over all and You are watching closely all that is happening, with just a glance Your eyes examine every heart. Your heavenly rule WILL PREVAIL over ALL. 🙌🙌🙌Father I thank You for Your Word, it is truth and it is sharper than any double edged sword. It divides and separates, and when spoken it will not return empty of the power it contains. We humble ourselves before You and seek Your ways, give us ears to hear what Your Soirit speaks and the boldness of faith and the obedience we each need to execute Your will and kingdom here on earth. In the name that is above every name and through the power of His shed blood we proclaim JESUS, JESUS🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️

      My only comment is “could you PLEASE proofread these articles thoroughly before you post them. The first para alone is missing so much punctuation and includes words that shouldn’t be there that it makes it very difficult to understand what you’re saying.

    My husband read this article. He thought the article was great. He has a double major in English & Spanish and has master’s degree in Secondary Reading. He taught 36 years at a high school, He also taught at college level and has been a substitute teacher the past 11 years. Although he found a few grammar mistakes in the article he says it is no big deal because the purpose of the website is to promote prayer. I pray you look within yourself and find prayer in you heart and not criticism. We are in perilous times. We need to pray like never before. I think your criticism is way too much and out of line. My prayer for you is to pray more and criticize less. I plead the blood of Jesus over my reply.

      I haven’t found grammatical errors in previous IFA articles so I was surprised with this article. Maybe they were rushing the end product to get the word out. I am still going to share it though because it is so good! My comments had errors in them before a couple of times but I couldn’t edit it on the IFA site.
