Do we really know God’s will for America?
If we do not know God’s will for America, we will not be able to pray with power, faith, or certainty. However, if we do know God’s perfect will for America, then our prayers will be powered by the fervor of the Holy Spirit! Our faith will be sky-high, and we will remain undaunted even in the face of opposition from the evil one!
Connect with others in your state in prayer.
So what is the answer to this question? Can we really know God’s will for America with absolute certainty — or not?
Fortunately, the answer is YES. We can know God’s will for America because His will is clearly outlined in His word.
For example:
- We know that God wants America to be righteous, for righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne (see Psalm 89:14).
- We know for sure that God wants the Constitution to be protected and enforced, for this founding document fights against tyranny and protects liberty — and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (see 2 Corinthians 3:17).
- We know that God wants righteous laws to be enforced, for He loves righteousness and hates lawlessness (see Hebrews 1:9).
- We know it is God’s will for politicians to make decisions that benefit and serve the American people who elected them, because politicians are responsible for shepherding and overseeing the safety of a nation. And Ezekiel 34 tells us that God is angry with shepherds who do not feed and protect the flock (see also Jeremiah 23:1). Also, Psalm 23:1 tells us that God’s nature is to be a shepherd, so we know we are all to act as shepherds like Jesus does, in order to conform to the image of Christ. And it is God’s will for every politician and every other human being to conform to the image of Christ.
- We can safely trust that it is never God’s will to put a pro-abortion, pro-infanticide, or pro-euthanasia leader in office, for hands that shed innocent blood are an abomination to Him (see Proverbs 6:16–19).
- We know with absolute certainty that it is God’s will to prosper our economy, for the blessing of the Lord makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. Matthew 6:33 says also that God will add “all these things” — all material provision — to us if we seek His kingdom first, which He definitely wants us to do. So, adding all material provision to us is His will. Yet, many families — especially retirees who depend on income from mutual funds, etc. — are suffering because they cannot afford to pay for basic needs due to the state of our economy and stock market.
- We know that nationwide revival is God’s will, for 1 Peter 3:9b says that God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Yes, it is God’s will for churches to be packed out again, for knowledge of the gospel to come to every home, and for every knee to bow and every tongue to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
- We know that God hates the two-tiered justice system that lets the rich, famous, or liberal “in-crowd” go free while prosecuting innocent and everyday people, for: Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord, and dishonest scales are not good (Proverbs 20:23 NKJV).
- We know that it is God’s will to bring LIFE from the dead, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (see John 14:6.) Resurrection is who He is, and it is always His will to demonstrate His own nature and glory to mankind.
We could go on and on, comparing scriptures to principles we see at work every day in America.
Basically, it is important to understand that God’s word has the answer for every situation. If the Bible does not state the exact solution for every problem, it at least contains a principle showing us what the solution should be. All we have to do is study it out, for:
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter (Proverbs 25:2 NKJV).
Ultimately, we know that Jesus is the victor, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (see 1 John 4:4).
Every kingdom of this world is to become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (see Revelation 11:15). No, it may not happen all at once. It may not even happen in our lifetime.
However, is not this the point of intercession: that we pray and believe God will answer our prayers, even if we must look ahead to the fulfillment of the promises?
As the book of Hebrews says about the great heroes of faith:
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth (Hebrews 11:13 NKJV).
Beloved, we don’t know how soon God will answer our prayers for America. Nevertheless, He will ultimately answer.
And while we wait for full manifestation, every single prayer still brings some degree of answers now. Your prayers are so important that God stores them in vials in heaven! How many wars have ended because intercessors prayed? How many lives have been saved? How many disasters have been averted, thanks to the prayers of the saints? We will never know until we get to heaven.
But friend, your prayers matter now. And your prayers require faith in order to be effective.
You can’t have faith if you aren’t sure of God’s will. If you aren’t certain of what He wants, you can’t pray with power. Yes, it’s true that we don’t know the names of the exact people God wants to place in office. We don’t know the exact dates upon which He wants to work this miracle or that. But we do not need to know those things. We can pray specifically enough based on the principles in His word, and we can pray with power.
Don’t give in to the lie that says, “We don’t know what God wants.”
The truth is: All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17 NKJV). All the training and equipping you need for your intercessory journey is contained somewhere in God’s word. Read it, pray it, and be confident of what you pray as long as your prayers agree with His inerrant, infallible word!

You are correct in John 10:34 Jesus is quoting from Ps 82. By quoting it, Jesus is telling the Pharisees that the scriptures are validating there was spiritual beings called “gods” so why are you upset that I call myse!f the Son of God. It doesn’t make sense that Jesus would call the Pharisees gods when he is trying to prove His God.
I totally agree! And prayed the Scriptures given in this article.
Thank you for this encouragement. I still struggle with praying Gods will for me and our country. And this is such a wonderful and powerful reminder of what He truly wants for us.
Thank you Father for your word, Jesus, your living word, Thank you for your written word,. It is written that you shall know the truth, your word is truth. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Thank you for the Holy Spirit who quickens Your Word to our hearts . Who teaches and leads us into all truth!
Oh I loved this post! Thank you for such an encouragement showing us Gods will. Although I knew all this at times it is so good to put it together reminding me and showing me how to pray. Thank you so much.
Strategic targeted prayers by saying what God says are prayers that gets the job done! It is not I, but Christ in me, the hope of Glory.
This is such an all encompassing article on how to know the will of God for America. Thank you for sharing. God Bless you and may we all walk in it.
Just prayed the prayer for America – In Jesus Name – Amen!
Thank you
First off I want to say as a Christian who was not raised in the church and someone who isn’t exactly a fan of politics either. I love how beautifully and perfectly written this article is. This article sums it up so well in the importance & understanding of how important it is to discern the interests that political candidates have and checking to see if they do have our (the voters) best interest in mind and if what the candidate supports goes against the will of God and our Constitution.
I think the biggest take away that I’ve noticed even for me the first time I ever voted (09) I did not use discernment or even think about God. I was young naive and voted with how I felt or how I was feeling at the time. The media would talk a lot about George W. Bush in a negative way. I tried to do my own research on the candidates but I did not really pray about it you think with the mindset of God’s will. I’m not proud to admit this but I actually voted for Obama based only on the feeling that well if a white man can’t do it let’s see if a black man can. I look back on it now and obviously realize not only how dumb that was but it was racist. I honestly don’t even know where the thought came from.
Then I noticed after 2016 Trump was elected which really kind of showed a lot that voting based on feelings but more in the direction of just a bunch of voters who wanted to be listened to and President Donald J. Trump delivered and pretty much woke most of us up.
However it seems he woke a lot of others up as well which a lot of them pretty much had this vendetta against Trump and the MAGA Movement Trump Supporters.
Regardless of the side of aisle or how we a lign politically or whatever one thing we have forgotten is how to discern God’s will rather then just voting based on how we feel or whether or not we were raised to be democrat or republican or based on how our parents, ancestors, or family votes. We need to trust in God and discern who it is that best represents not only our interests but God’s as well.
AMEN!
Well said! All of it🤗
Sean, thank you for honoring Poppa God with the truth you learned fr9m your mistakes.
That courage and expressed wisdom is exactly what we believers all need.
Jesus showed us while He was here we do need to use our brain and heart together. He redeems both after all.
Sean, thank you for trusting Poppa God and us to say it here too.
Prayer and Worship is the route for serving JESUS, FATHER, and the HOLY SPIRIT!
Seek to Serve Daily & Always!
Thank You for Sharing the Message of OUR LORD & SAVIOR! JESUS CHRIST-GOD the FATHER- the HOLY SPIRIT
Yes, we are to pray for all in authority (1 Tim.2:1-4) that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. I believe we should pray believing and diligently as specifically as possible according to the Scriptures. God will answer our prayers either yes, that’s My will or no, I have something better or wait. My own personal belief is that God is allowing this wickedness to be so predominate because He is getting ready for the Rapture and then the Tribulation. As long as the church is here, pray without ceasing.
Thank you for your encouragement!
I agree .
I believe that God is all knowing and that His word in our world is to believe him, pray to him everyday and let Him know that we want unity, righteousness and peace. Don’t ever give up on God’s will for us..we need to thank him for our blessings and ask for his help always!
Lord, help us to be faithful in witnessing, as we realize we might be in the “End Times”. Give us courage and the right words to say, and make us look for every opportunity in our day, to speak of you. Give us the faith to trust your Word, and know that You are in control of all things, and to know that You will not suffer us to be temped in any way, above that which we are able to bear.
Father God your word is forever father God your people need an Awakening a shaking father God we need to understand that you are looking for us to rise up as an army and not to be timid father God you’re looking to us to work behind you to help the desperate in dying people of this world we see everyday father God take the scales off of our eyes that are still on it give us ears to hear new ears to hear father God we are not doing what we’re supposed to be doing we are supposed to be your army and it is not supposed to be a army of One with you father God make us the Christians you want us to be not what we think we should be in Jesus name
KLOVE’s verse for today seems quite appropriate here.
“I will answer them before they even call to Me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”
Isaiah 65:24 (NLT)
Yes and Amen❣
This is so insightful. Praise God for leading us through His word. One point I would like to add are the “ifs “ in God’s word that call a nation to repentance. I believe all of our other requests and His blessings are contingent upon this one thing, according to His word.
America is a democratic republic that has become corrupt. It has become corrupt because the people of our nation have turned their backs on God. This has allowed the forces of darkness, principalities and authorities, a foothold to exert their evil forces of deception and perversion and fundamentally change our nation where evil is called good and good is called evil. Over the last 7 years, my battle plan was to contend with these evil forces, believing this interaction was true “spiritual warfare”. The results of hours of battle produced little results to my prayers. I began to prayfully search the scriptures concerning this subject of spiritual warfare and realized my understanding was in error.
I searched the entire Bible and could not find one example of anyone contending directly with these principalities. In Ephesians 6, Paul states who we wrestle with. He then teaches us how to wrestle with them. No where does he tell us to go after them and bind them or demand anything to them. He says we are to put on the full armor of God and stand when we are attacked. In Eph 3:10, Paul says we are to demonstrate the manifold wisdom of God to the same principalities as mentioned in Eph 6:12. God created these spiritual beings and put them over the nations. They then rebelled Ps 82. They carry out Satans plans to deceive and bring chaos. Yet Paul says we are to demonstrate, through our behavior, the manifold wisdom of God to them. You see God has a bigger plan of redemption of His entire creation that I believe we have a role. This is contrary to the attitude and short sided behavior I had previously. Also, in 1 Cor 15:24, Paul says these principalities will be destroyed when Christ returns, not before. All my energy spent trying to control them was a waste of time. It is not my role. God has already judged them and He will execute His judgement at the end of the age.
True spiritual warfare works on the minds of believers who now have the weapons granted to us by the Holy Spirit to pull down the strongholds that deceive us. Unbelievers do not have access to these weapons because they do not have the Holy Spirit, which only comes to us by our faith in Christ..
So do we sit back and just wait for Christs return? Absolutely not. We pray for our nation as in 2 Tim, so we may live peaceful lives. The only way the ungodly can turn around is through faith in Christ. Only He can transform a human heart. No earthly government can do that.
We must also keep in mind that God has a bigger plan to redeem His entire creation. The center of that plan is Jesus Christ. God knew man would fall. He knew the spiritual beings would rebel. And influence His creation for evil. Our hope is not in anything in this world. Our hope is in the world to come where we will rule and reign with Him in eternity.
Jesús has empowered us. Read Luke 9:1-2. Luke 10:19. Matt 7-8. There are so many scriptures that attest to the authority of the believer and most of all we have the precious Blood of Jesus that covers and protects us always. We avail ourselves of all provision, guidance, discernment and wisdom the Lord gives us through the Holy Spirit. We are more than victorious in Him and Him alone.
The 70 went out and dealt with personal demons in people here on earth. Not all spiritual entities have equal power. The principalities are spiritual forces of darkness in the heavenly places. They are high up in the governmental structure of Satans kingdom. We do not have authority over them. Why would Paul say that Jesus would destroy them when He comes back if we could do it now from here on earth? It doesnt make sense. Read Job 41 and the advice God gave to Job about confronting Leviathan, a metaphor for Satan. God mocked Job for even thinking about confronting him. In Jude, even the arcangel Michael did not confront Satan, He said may the Lord rebuke you. God is using these principalities in His overall plan to redeem His creation. We can and shold pray to God to be delivered from evil. That kind of prayer is appropriate. Casting out demons is also appropriate for those that have the faith to do it.
In the New Testament, how many times did anyone pray against the demonic forces that controlled Rome and exerted its tyranny on the Christians? I could find none. Christians were fed to the lions as entertainment. These Christians demonstrated the manifold wisdom of God by keeping the faith and showing it to a lost world. I believe our efforts should be in sharing the Gospel and demonstrating the Holy Spirit in us.
The only way the country will turn around is to change the hearts of the citizens by the transforming power of Christ. Increase the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness will decrease. We must always keep in mind the bigger plan God has put in motion since the beggining of time, the redemption of all mankind and His creation. This is where we put our hope. Do I want the country to turn around? Of course I do. But my hope is not in anything in this world.
Yes, I feel we should expect persecution and trust the Lord to strengthen us for it. We have to be faithful to our Lord!
Amen! Sadly many have this “kingdom now” thinking, which doesn’t lineup with the bible at all. We still live in a fallen world and the only way it will be rectified is when Jesus Christ comes back. Until then we spread the gospel and pray.
Psalm 82 is not talking about spiritual beings as in Ephesians 3:10 and 6:12. It refers to the judges and magistrates in Israel who were corrupt. Jesus quotes Psalm 82:6 in John 10:34, referring to the Jewish leaders who were designated “gods” and in the OT. Judges, who were called elohims because of their high
position. Yet they did not accept Jesus as ultimately being God, John 10:34-36!
These hierarchies of demonic powers in Ephesians 3:10 and 6:12 are subject to Christ (Ephesians 1:20-22). They are also subject to Spirit-Filled believers, as we read in Ephesians 2:6: this scripture explains that Christ has “raised us up and seated us together in
‘THE HEAVENLY PLACES’ in Christ Jesus.”
Luke 10:19 says, ” Behold, I give the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy…”
Eventually Jerusalem and Rome were judged and destroyed by God and I”m sure prayers such as Psalm 2, which was quoted in Acts 4:25-26 continued to be used in spiritual warfare anytime these powers sought to hinder the gospel and advancing Christ’s Kingdom. The early Church understood that Kings and Judges
were to serve the LORD with fear and bow to His rule or face His wrath, Psalm 2:10-12 paraphrased! That would include principalities and powers being dethroned but not vanquished into the lake of fire at the Second Coming, 1 Corinthians 15:24! To God be the Glory!!!
I have a question, elohim is the word translated to mean “gods” in psalm 82. If it meant judges (humans) then why does it say “you will die like men”? You would only say that if they were not men but eternal beings otherwise it makes no sense.
The Judges are venerated and highly esteemed as Elohims because they so represented God in their office in terms of executing righteousness & justice (the foundation of God’s throne Psalm 89:14) and to show impartiality in His Law. These corrupt judges
are being warned because they are not judging
justly as Psalm 82:1-4 is bringing out. “You are gods”
does not attribute deity to the judges, but was a
title of commendation , noting the God given
capacities of human life and will-the fruit of being
“in His image.” Psalm 82:6 b. “You are children of
the Most High” obviously refers to their humanous!
The fact that they will die like men, possibly dishonored like other fallen rulers V 7.
Jesus’ use in John 10:34-36, is an argument from
the lesser to the greater. In other words, if God
Himself called the Jewish leaders “gods” at that
time, as verified by their own scriptures, how much
more was Jesus now justified in calling Himself the
Son of God, as verified by His works , which were
the Father’s!
Elohim is also used in Exodus 22:8 for human judges!
I agree with you Michael and would say more specifically that it is the corruption of the people of God that has empowered the dark forces to gain a stronghold in this nation. In 1 Sam. 12:13-15, Samuel was warning the people of covenant that it was their responsibility to fear and serve and listen to the Lord. The result would be that the king would also follow the Lord. If they didn’t, the hand of the Lord would be against them. That is why 2 Chron. 7:14 is the answer to turn the nation and break the stronghold that the enemy has established. Once again, God is putting the responsibility on the people of covenant (the Church) for the welfare of the nation. Paul told the Corinthian church in 2 Cor 10:3-6 that our warfare against these forces of disobedience is for our obedience to be complete. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of self control. I can’t control others and have a hard time with myself apart from Him. I believe if we all allow God in this season to show us our wicked ways and turn from those in repentance, as He shows us, we will see a move of God that tears down the division in the bride of Christ first and then nothing will be impossible for her. If I look at Jesus example, He did and spoke what the Father was showing Him. I believe that is what He is after for His bride so we can fill the earth with the knowledge of His glory like Habakuk 2 prophesied. I appreciate what you have to say about allowing the Lord to change your perceptions. I can relate. I have come to find, and am still learning about His yoke that is easy and burden light.
Christ reigns presently until His enemies are made His footstool and the Churches! Hebrews 10:12-13; 1 Corinthians 15:25-26! The
Church is to reign with him now in dethroning His enemies, Psalm
110:1; Acts 2:32-35! That’s why the Father poured out the Holy
Spirit, V 33 so the Church would participate in the victorious
warfare until our enemies are conquered and the Kingdoms become the Kingdom of our LORD’s and His Christ. Revelation
11:15! Then God’s reign will be consummated. Interesting, when
Peter and John returned to their own, after the Jewish leaders
put a gag order on them not to preach in the name of Jesus any
further, Acts 4:23-31, they quoted part of Psalm 2 in 4:25-26.
The rest of the Psalm declares that Jesus was set in the position
of King by His Father, who also offered the nations to the Son as
His inheritance. Psalm 37 in numerous verses says “The meek
shall inherit the earth.” This passage was quoted in Acts 4:25-26
because these early Christians understood that they reign now with Christ as a royal priesthood on the earth! Revelation 1:5-6.
a royal priesthood on t
Ephesians 4:11-16; 5:24-27; 2 Peter 3:10-12 taken together must precede His Coming! These qualities in HIS Church are
what will speed Christ’s Coming, 2 Peter 3:11-12! Based on these scriptures, is the Church especially in this country
ready to meet the LORD?
In Eph 3:10, Paul says we are to demonstrate the manifold wisdom of God to the same principalities as mentioned in Eph 6:12. God created these spiritual beings and put them over the nations. They then rebelled Ps 82. They carry out Satans plans to deceive and bring chaos. Yet Paul says we are to demonstrate, through our behavior, the manifold wisdom of God to them. You see God has a bigger plan of redemption of His entire creation that I believe we have a role. This is contrary to the attitude and short sided behavior I had previously. Also, in 1 Cor 15:24, Paul says these principalities will be destroyed when Christ returns, not before. All my energy spent trying to control them was a waste of time. It is not my role. God has already judged them and He will execute His judgement at the end of the age.
Psalm 82 is not talking about spiritual beings as in Ephesians 3:10 and 6:12. It refers to the judges and magistrates in Israel
who were corrupt. Jesus quotes Psalm 82:6 in John 10:34, refer-
ring to the Jewish leaders who were designated “gods” and in
the OT. Judges, who were called elohims because of their high
position. Yet they did not accept Jesus as ultimately being God,
John 10:34-36!
These hierarchies of demonic powers in Ephesians 3:10 and
6:12 are subject to Christ (Ephesians 1:20-22). They are also subject
to Spirit-Filled believers, as we read in Ephesians 2:6: this scripture
explains that Christ has “raised us up and seated us together in
‘THE HEAVENLY PLACES’ in Christ Jesus.”
Luke 10:19 says, ” Behold, I give the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy…”
Eventually Jerusalem and Rome were judged and destroyed by
God and I”m sure prayers such as Psalm 2, which was quoted in

His wrath, Psalm 2:10-12 paraphrased! That would include
principalities and powers being dethroned but not vanquished
into the lake of fire at the Second Coming, 1 Corinthians 15:24! To
God be the Glory!!!
God’s word also talks about judgement. Our nation hasn’t followed His will in a really long time. We’ve fallen far from Him for decades. We’ve pushed Him out of every aspect of our day to day lives and then people wonder why things are the way they are. I think if it wasn’t for His remnant in this country it would have fallen already, but I believe it’s coming. I believe His judgement is coming on this nation. I pray for God’s grace and mercy. I pray for people to wake up before it’s too late.
His word speaks of tribulation and what we will see as the end days approach. I’m looking forward to His coming. Whatever happens, I pray to do His will in the meantime. Preach the Gospel to all, sow those seeds, and pray. Maranatha!
Vickl,
I agree one hundred percent.
Keep looking up, your redemption is at hand.
Thank you Jamie. We continue to pray and expect great things from God!
This is spot-on!
We need to pray specifically, and we can do that only by knowing the Word and applying it to specific problematic areas.
As I just turned sixty two months ago, I had prayed to our Lord Jesus about the lightning fast decline of our nation
over the past several decades and how things go from bad to even worse, despite our many remonstrations to him;
however, I had to go back to Saint Paul’s statement in Corinthians about his building up the body of Christ, i.e. the
Church because of its lacking faith, zeal and fidelity to our Lord. This reminds me of what G.K. Chesterton said in
an article that he had written in one of the newspapers in Great Britain about how the Anglican Church was suffering
from many assaults from within and without and what would constitute the best remedy; his reply, “I am wrong with
the Church.” so we all have to take a very honest, long and hard look at ourselves about being captivated, allured
and taken by our secular culture in a variety of ways-Satan is a master seducer-and how that has affected our relationship
to our Blessed Lord, our families and fellow brothers and sisters. Having been born and raised in New York City, I would simply
say “if we don’t, then fuggetta bout it!”
Wow! What an enlightening and thought provoking article. The facts are right there for all to see, yet so many are blind or simply do not want to see. I continue to pray for eyes and hearts to be opened to the truth through His word!
I learned as a very young Christian that through my prayers I can change the course of nations. I have changed the course of nations through my prayers God has not changed. God still hears and answers the prayers of His children. If we are serious about impacting the world as Christians, then we need to spend time with our Heavenly Father in prayer. That is the way to change the world. God is the answer to every crisis, every problem. Seek Him earnestly in prayer, and then watch Him work.
Thank you Lord for your word and teaching us to pray out your word in all circumstances of our lives and that’s your word is final the truth… We thank you and we give you praise in the mighty name of Jesus… Amen…
Good food for thought and prayer.
Lord teach us to pray Your word back to You for Your perfect will to be done in all situations.
Thank you for youreleasing of these Prophetic prayers.I have also adopted them to pray over my nation..Fiji.
This is the best comprehensive article I’ve read regarding praying for our nation and all matters that pertain to living in this day. Thank you!
Amen and praying with you and for you!
“It is important to understand that God’s word has the answer for every situation. ” AMEN!
“God’s word….read it, pray it, and be confident of what you pray as long as your prayers agree with His inerrant, infallible word!” AMEN!
James 1: 22-35 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
Dear Abba Father, thank you for Your Word. We agree it is flawless, reliable, and sure. Your Word life. I pray this morning that an overwhelming desire to know Your Word, will fill Your people. I believe this will give us freedom from deception. To God be the Glory, in the Name of Jesus Christ and in Holy Spirit Power. Amen
I was given a dream (curtailed for space) in which I was in a narrow, empty classroom. (I took it to mean few would listen and learn) an angel spoke: ***TEACH!!*** I said: “Teach? The classroom is empty!” Once again the angel spoke and said: ***TEACH!!*** I then asked: “Teach what?” I heard: ***Teach on the book of Jeremiah***
I became a bit despondent because I have been speaking as Jeremiah did, warning of impending judgement if we did not come back to our first love, but few heeded the words. I then asked: “In what context do I teach?” I was given a vision of a human heart on a life support machine. Above, written in bold black letters were the words: ***MATTERS OF THE HEART***
I believe if we are to experience *** The earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea*** (Hab. 2:14) We must first endure a (Jer. 1:10) encounter…***Uprooting and tearing down (of old structures, which I had seen in a vision) overthrowing and destroying (that which is an affront to the cross, removing the vile from the precious, the righteous from the pretender, the wheat from the chaff) before there is building and planting…
We are in a season of correction mixed with mercy, so that we do not get judged along with the world. (1Cor, 11:29-32) I recall a statement from John Paul Jackson who said: ***If we do not pray for the leadership we need, we will get the one we deserve*** this has come to fruition in recent years! In 2012, I had a dream in which Biden was president. (to long for this write) Don’t get me wrong, many were faithful in prayer, but since 9/11 we, as a nation, have gone the way of Baal.
Is it reversible? Absolutely!! Yet we need to feel the pressure of the thumb of God (another dream) on an obstinate nation to remove that which impedes our progress towards righteousness and justice. (Ps. 89:14) The will of God consist (on our part) trust, faith and obedience…98% obedience is not obedience! Ask Moses!!! God is pouring out His spirit on all flesh (Joel 2:28) and we will see remarkable exploits from those who abide in his will, but it will come with a price, that sadly many will not be willing to pay. But God!!
We do not want to be those who ***honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me*** (Mt. 15:8) The Lord is doing a shaking so that what remains is unshakeable Heb. 12:27) ***See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven.*** (Heb. 12:25)
I will leave with the words from Abraham Kuyper: ***When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your call and peace has become sin; At the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and foe, with all the fire of your faith*** THIS DAY WE FIGHT!!! Be blessed and may Ruach Elohim cover you, your family and your ministry…Dwayne…

Amen Dwayne! Today, may the Lord bless you in His abundance and tomorrow and each day He grants you. Amen, this is powerful!
Yes, amen! We need to continuously dig deep into God’s Word. We must persevere and endure in praying His Word for our nation, Israel and world.
Thank you, Jamie. This confirms for me, that God is indeed on the move in America. We need to trust in Him and His timing. It says in His word that He makes all things beautiful in His time. In the meantime, keep us strong and hopeful in our intercession for America.
Thank you, Jamie! Your article answered the very question I had laid before the Lord yesterday. I believe you hit the mark. Bless you!
Wow what a variety of replies!! We must remember what is common to each one is we CANNOT leave our knees !!! Thy Kingdom come and Thy Will be done.. in Jesus Christ’s name we pray and unite.Amen
My wife, Diane, and I want to thank IFA for almost 50 years of faithful intercession and education to the body of Christ…..
As we pray for our nation we more often than not turn back to Derek Prince’s, classical teachings about prayer, shaping, history, and, that good government is God‘s idea!
We will continue to pray for our country, our leaders, and that the kingdom of God would be established in ever increasing size and intensity and purity in the United States…and throughout the world.
God bless you IFA. Keep it up!
I agree Dave – Derek’s teachings are paramount in these times!
Sometimes it’s good to remind yourself of even the most basic truths. God‘s word is always true, righteous, and holy. What you think, your current disposition influences, or the world thinks is irrelevant. Help us Lord to comprehend, declair, and live those truths for they are to God’s glory and our benefit. Amen and amen.
Yes, all those scriptures are true. But America is a representative republic where the citizens VOTE for their leaders. The people VOTED in leaders who do NOT honor God or His Word. Your recent survey of church members shows that a huge percentage AGREE with abortion and child mutilation for those who say they want their gender changed. This is not a dictatorship. Citizens are responsible and if we (they) don’t elect godly leaders citizens are responsible. What happened in scripture when Israel turned away? They were judged. God has warned us that judgment is coming. We must pray for revival. It’d the only thing that will save America.
We wish you all a
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Is.9:6).
Dear Family Of God,
On Sunday Dec. 18th, as I was praying the Lord gave me a prophetic word for His people for this very hour. It was powerful & much needed at this time. While praying, the Lord dropped Isaiah 9:6 into my spirit & I heard Him speak this scripture. But, He spoke it, He ILLUMINATED something that I have never seen before. Please prayerfully receive His powerful & sobering words:
BEGIN PROPHETIC WORD
The Lord says: “I come to My people because I love them with an everlasting love. For in THAT love I demonstrated the reality of LIFE IN Me, as I came to Earth, born as a babe, lying in a manger. I need My people to see the truth of what I have done, for I did MUCH more than what most of My people have comprehended. For, if you will look at what I spoke in Isaiah 9:6, I told you “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”.
For over 2000 years now My people, as well as numerous others in the world over the years have read this & taken it for what they thought it said, but few have seen what I actually INCLUDED in THAT verse. For I said the Government would BE UPON HIS SHOULDER, yet most, if any have ever seen what I ready said. Can you see it NOW? I ask this to help you to understand. Where is His shoulder? His shoulder IS part of HIS BODY. His Body IS the BODY OF CHRIST, His Church! As you will take hold of what I have NOW revealed, you will be ABLE to accomplish MORE in heavenly places in Me, than ever before, for I give you the understanding of WHO you REALLY ARE!
For so long, My people have NOT seen or known this TRUTH! Think back to the time when I birthed My church nearly 2000 years ago. My people were led of Me & I RAISED THEM UP & they did EXPLOITS in My name. They TOOK the kingdoms of this world & SUBDUED them, by their SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY. My people had such an IMPACT that the government came UNDER ME for a season. I tell you that THIS was a FIRST FRUIT of what is yet to COME! For I WILL NOW again RISE UP within My people & My people WILL again INFLUENCE the governments of this world. The time has come for My people to BE My people & DO the things I have called them to DO!
Will you take hold of what I am DECLARING unto you this day & RUN forward IN Me & DO the things I lead you to do? For My call has NOW gone out & I AM going to ENDUE My people with My POWER & GREAT authority, as they will RISE UP IN ME! I await those who will truly HEAR My words & RESPOND unto Me with their lives! Come to Me, My people & I will cause you to MARCH forth in TRIUMPH & VICTORY! For the time of great REVIVAL has come & those who will RISE up in Me will SEE Me do GREAT things in the time ahead. Take HOLD of Me & My words in this hour & you will not be disappointed, says the Lord!”
END PROPHETIC WORD
Love & blessings,
Pastors Mark & Julie Moore
Revival-Fire Church
Thank you for sharing that powerful Word from the Lord!
I’m very moved by this prophetic word. Thank you for sharing it Pastor Mark.
Thank you for your post. Your point is well taken and I agree. I’m going over that scripture, it also popped out to me the last line of Isa 9:7- “The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this”. Praying for His strength and continued fire for Him to keep the church moving forward in His will.
It seems simple to me. We can always find Scriptures to say what we want to fit. But I believe that America is under Discipline not judgement at this point, under discipline. The general population is Godless, especially the younger than 50yoa ones. There is the possibility that God is withdrawing, from the nation as a whole, some of His Grace and Generosity because…God is not Santa Claus and is not a parent who spoils His children by shielding them from the consequences of their choices. Believers need to ride it out in faith, faith in God’s good plan for the most good for those who will respond to Him. Keep praying for this Godless generation to realize that God is not optional.
Amen Mary! Many of us will wake up the hard way-better late than never. I believe we need to warn people who follow this culture of death and falsehood disguised as democracy-wolves in sheep’s clothing. Probably many who are decent and honest have been duped by these deceivers. Hopefully they do not become just like them!
Amen! Great article, we need to pray with faith and thank God for what He is doing for us, daily!
Thank you for reminding us of God’s will for america!! And all nations! These are simple, yet powerful Scriptures to pray, all gathered in one place! Hear our cries, O Lord! In Jesus name – AMEN!!
We all know the verse from 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. We have been claiming that scripture for some time now and our land is far from healed right now. The question we have to ask ourselves is “what are we missing?” What are the wicked ways that we need to turn from? Note that it says “my people,” which means that this scripture is aimed at the body of Christ. Aren’t we people of faith? Aren’t we people of prayer? Haven’t we battled for the unborn, for morality, for our children and for our country? What is it that we’re missing? What don’t we have that God would want us to have in order to see this scripture fulfilled? If I tell you what it is, a lot of you will be angry. How do I know? Because every time we mention it to all our Christian friends, people turn away in disgust. It is THE THING that brought healing to the Fiji Islands after their coup. It is the key to revival and I believe it is what God is waiting for in order to move powerfully and finally break this wicked stronghold that has imprisoned this country. What is it? UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. Every Christian, from every “Christian” denomination standing together as one. From Lutheran’s to Calvary Chapel, from Baptist to Catholic, from Assembly of God to Nazarene. Presbyterians and Non-Denominationals. We have got to set aside our denominational differences and unity in this cause to take the country back. Almost all of the elections in this country are completely rigged. People everywhere are fed up with the liberal agenda but it’s too late, we are trapped by a pro-communist regime that has taken hold and imprisoned everyone in America. But we’re too busy with our own agendas to unite and battle this thing as one. We are too complacent and some would rather fight revival than to see things made right in this country (See what happened to Mario Murillo in New York). I believe with everything that is within me that this is the word God has given us. God is waiting for US to change! And when we do, He will move and bring forth the miracle that He has been telling us about for the last two years.
Dear Father God help us and guide us in praying with faith for America in your name Lord Jesus. Amen
We also know that it is God’s will for America to bless Israel and stand with it as it possesses all of its possessions (Obad. 1:17) and this is something that the current Biden group is actively standing against. Oops (Num. 24:9b)!
Remember, not America, but Israel is the pupil of God’s eye (Zech. 2::8), which means that not only when one touches Israel one pokes God in His eye, but even more amazing, it means that He views the world through how nations deal with His chosen nation.
Remember also that as a born-again believer your eternal destiny is tied in with Israel and the Jewish people as you are grafted into my olive tree (Rom. 11:16-24) – and not a Christmas tree!
May the Lord open the eyes of more American believers to see that in these days with Israel being back in its/God’s land, this nation is now central to all of God’s Kingdom plans to wrap up the age and send His Son back – to Jerusalem.
Blessings dear intercessors from Jerusalem – Psa. 134:3
Amen brother Chuck! Reading the parshah this week I see Joseph revealing himself to his brothers. America wake up! Within your borders are many who call themselves Christians who don’t know that they are brothers with Israel! They are blinded because the foundation of the Bible is not taught! The Torah has the answer for the lost scattered tribes who look like pagan Egypt in the Genesis account- the brothers don’t recognize Joseph because he looks pagan in his Egyptian clothes! The Jews don’t recognize Christians because they are dressed like Rome! The day comes when 10 men (is this referring to the lost 10 tribes) will grab one Jew (is this Yeshua or brother Judah) by the hem of his garment (zit-zit) or prayer shawl? And say teach me about your God! (Zechariah 8:23) We must learn from Judah (especially the Lion of the tribe of Judah) who is our rabbi our Lord)not the Roman Catholic Church and her babies – Jesus was not a Roman Catholic nor a Protestant-He was a Jew! Only then will the lens of scripture come into focus! Throw off your Roman garb and show brother Judah your sincere desire to know the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob! The time is now church to unite with the brothers of Yeshua, the man from Galilee- who said follow me! Let’s keep God’s holy days not Roman Catholic holidays- man made tradition- same as it was in Yeshuas day- men loving the traditions and add-ons to religion. Christian churches have become the Pharisees who want to do it their way. Yeshua came to correct them and draw the lost sheep of Israel (the scattered tribes) -Yeshua will teach us for a thousand years (the Millennium) how to be one with the one true God of Israel! He is the Son of God who will teach us how to be sons of God! Let’s start learning the Word (which refers to the Torah and the writings of prophets and kings (called the Old Testament by us Christians)We must walk together in truth (ie the Word- taught from a Jewish man- Yeshua) take off the blinders!!!
Father God, YHVH, please remove the scales of America in a massive wave of illumination! Save us to do your will which is to bring your family together- every father wants their family to walk together! Only under your law which teaches how to love you and others! Not our way but your way! Torah = The Word= Yeshua- living Word- shows us how to live out Torah!! May many eyes be illuminated to your truth, your way your life today- in Yeshua Hamashiach’s name I pray amen
May God bless you! May God give peace and prosperity to Jerusalem and all Israel.
Despite the actions of Biden, many here love and support Israel and the Jewish people.
Genesis 12:3 is true whether the democrats choose to acknowledge it or not.
Your last name indicates that you are a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and a priest of Israel. I am full of joy that you have found your true Messiah and high priest.
Let us pray that God’s will be known to all men.
