ELECTION 2020 MAY BE BATTLED AND WON IN THE SUPREME COURT

Christian conservatives have been focused on the U.S. Supreme Court disposition of key abortion and LGBTQ cases in 2020. Although these are important, the most critical action this year may surround election cases.
Recently I read an article by Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio that shows what the left is up to.
Look for Vote Your Values 2020, an initiative of Intercessors for America. Don’t miss the May First Friday Prayer Conference Call on Friday, May 1, 2020 at 1215 pm ET. The best way to participate is the webcast on our homepage, IFApray.org.
The left is using lawsuits to target election laws and procedures (national and state) to favor Democrat candidates. And they perceive the decisions of the Court on election issues as political, rather than principled.
Totenberg is a liberal political ally and very close personal friend of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the most liberal justice on the Supreme Court. Totenberg, is trying to put the burden on Chief Justice Roberts and the Republican-nominated justices to prove their fairness by joining the four Democrat-nominated justices. But Totenberg puts zero burden on the Democrat nominees to do the same, i.e., to cross lines and join the Republican nominees. Why?
Totenberg is not really interested in fairness or the “image” of the court, but only in political results that benefit Democrat politicians. Totenberg is not principled – and that’s putting it kindly. Totenberg’s article seeks to build a bullying campaign to push Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kavanaugh, and/or any Majority Justice to join the Democrat-nominated justices. Expect it to continue and to increase. As Totenberg writes about the split on the Court, “That division could put the court in the crosshairs of public opinion if it is forced to make decisions that affect the 2020 election.” This reveals one of the clearest differences on the Court—liberal/progressive justices consider public opinion in rendering legal decisions and conservative justices limit themselves to principle and the law.
The Supreme Court majority remained principled in the Wisconsin case, and I hope and pray they will continue to do so.
Lawsuits will almost certainly continue on these matters through the November election. Keep your eyes open and your prayers focused on the “election” cases that are likely this year. There’s a good chance the most important case of this year is an election case that has yet to even be filed.

Gracious Father,
You sent your Messiah, Y’shua, to die for the sins of a world filled with wicked and perverse peoples. We have not been wholly Yours; not committed to Your word; nor submitted to Your way. We have all gone backwards and turned, each one of us, to every wicked way. We have been distracted by becoming engrossed in the affairs of this world. Yet, there are among us Father, a remnant, Your remnant who long for the coming of Your kingdom and the return of Y’shua Messiah. Today, we see Your signs that the return of Messiah is nearer than we may believe–may we not be caught unawares. We were instructed to pray for the lands, cities and nations, that we inhabit until the time of Messiah. Help us to remember that it is You, who raises up world leaders and You, who takes them down. You have not left us but have patiently watched, and silently waited. Help Your people who are called by Your Name to humble themselves, pray, seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, that You may be inclined to hear from heaven and heal this land. In all things, Abba Father, may You be exalted for truly You alone are the One True God,and to You alone belong salvation.
In the name of Your Son, my Master, Y’shua,
Let all the peoples say,
Amein, Amein!
Lord God, we pray for the integrity of the upcoming national election. We pray that every legal vote would count and that people would vote biblical principle and values. We raise your standard of righteousness, and integrity over the weaponization of the COVID-19 pandemic to change the landscape of our election forever. Raise up the voices of VOTERS, AND PEOPLE OF INFLUENCE for local control and voter verification. Expose great levels of fraud, remove confusion off the elections process. Stop the control by a few to rig the pool of voters that will result in the election outcome they favor. Let righteousness prevail that emphasizes principles, not processes. Break down and break off the focus on controlling processes. Take down the altars of Jezebel that uses manipulation and perversions to gain power and control for personal agenda. I ask Lord that our nation would reflect your heart for KINGDOM not carnal advancement.
The supreme court has been bought and paid for just the demecratic party and the rinos.
The U.S. government serves the rich and the U.N.
We need to pray constantly for the conservative, principled justices to be strengthened against the bullying. The bullying may become more and more vicious and relentless between now and November.We need to pray for them and their families as the Left may use character assassination to intimidate and destroy the families of the justices. We need to pray for protection from disease and assassination of the justices.
Secondly we need to pray for the integrity of the election to be protected by Judicial decisions.
