The border is another distraction from the real corruption that must be dealt with, the Bidens.
Pray fervently…
Darkness to light.

I love the way “they” talk about all the things they have done as if their words convince people when indeed they have done just the opposite….like “the border is secure” … fact: in “word” only. The border is far from secure and now they are going to maximize the incoming evil ones with total open border. Drug and human trafficking needs to be trampled flat..time to STOP EVIL ONES AND EVIL DEEDS. Amen Lord Jesus!

We have been invaded for more than 2 years and the Republicans are finally waking up? Gov Abbott has an entire Army Division that he could call up but basically all he has done is to blame D.C. The last time the United States was invaded from Mexico in 1916 President Wilson called up the National Guard. The invasion can be stopped if our elected officials wanted to use the resources.

    The President of the United States should be footing the bill to protect the border not individual states just because their state has Mexico bordering their state. There are federal laws governing border security as I understand it. It isn’t a Republican issue anymore than a Democrat issue except President is a Democrat! So help us God. May Your Truth Prevail! Amen.

Father, we repent for being lazy. We declare and decree that you will lead us to take over our Congress, EVERY seat and reinstate the rightful POTUS Donald J Trump, whom you have anointed to restore your covenant nation called America. We denounce and reject the wicked administration that has absolutely no power or authority to lead anything. We acknowledge your heavenly court, and ask that you bring swift judgement on every enemy of this nation, by the authority of the blood of Jesus. Amen!

Gracious Loving Lord God, Bring a heavy heart wrenching to knees dropping spirit of repentance and revival to us as a nation for the evil being done to children. As precious young ones enter our country only to have our government, using our taxpayer money, to hand them over to known international criminals to be used for hard dangerous labor and worse, repeatedly abused for adults evil sexual appetites. Everything within cries out No NO NO to the devil’s trashing of innocent hearts and lives. Lord, show us what we can do to stop all this.
For every eye and ear that has witness to this evil, give courage and grace to be a whistle blower. Let every ear in authority who can and will do something hear and act. Expose, blow open and drain the evil. Go before us and stop the shedding of innocent blood, the brutal enslaving and destruction of young healthy little bodies and the terrorizing destruction of helpless minds. Lance and drain the infectious boils of filth and remove any and all power or authority from all who have a part in perpetuating this chain of evil. Help those involved, including the children themselves to see the way of escape and to have the courage to take it. Lead them to someone who can help them find your heart soul mind and body healing. Raise up workers for that harvest! Reveal yourself to the innocent victims. Confront and stop the lies that are causing people to flood our southern border, especially so for unaccompanied minors.
Motivate your people to pray unceasingly on behalf of the innocents, to know how to move against these evils to put a complete stop to it. Confuse and thwart the plans of the wicked. Remember your promise to oppose the proud. Stop this evil arrogance and the administration promoting it that sees itself as above the law. Send light out of the darkness. Help your people to take every thought captive so that our obedience is complete and every act of disobedience is punished.
We praise you for your genius of using evil for good. Help us work with you to bring the good news of the gospel, to release these hearts that the devil has taken captive to do his will.

All judicial reform which aligns itelf with Our Holy God and His Holy Word begins with spiritual warfare and prayer Spirit.

Our Father must be obeyed to the letter (just as Christ Jesus obeyed Father God in all He said and did).

Please refer to the strategies give to Joshua and Caleb when taking possession of their borders.

To me, at this time with about 10 million people having entered illegally since Biden became in charge, we have been invaded by people we know nothing about. It is reported there are people let out of prisons from these countries now entering the USA, people from China, Japan, Venezuela, Brazil, Costa Rica, Africa, Honduras, Etc. They are invading every state in the USA. Biden has no concern for citizens of the USA. We are the ones suffering with high prices, shortage of food and necessary items to live normally. In my opinion any other country would refuse the admission of these people that do not belong here. We have laws that citizens have to follow, and these illegals must also follow our laws and should be immediately sent back to where they come from and the UN must stop promoting these illegals from leaving their own countries to come to the USA. This situation is sickening!

Father, When we experience a crisis, it is natural to be overwhelmed by negative feelings. We look to the future with worry and fear. We look at the past, remembering what life had been like, with regret and maybe even anger because of our loss. Everything is out of control. Life is filled with uncertainty. I know we need to shift our focus and remember that these negative things will not “ change unless we shift our focus from the circumstances that engulf us to our God who lives within us. This God, who is love and who loves us unconditionally, is the sovereign ruler of the universe. He can bring good out of bad situations for He is powerfully good. To help remind us of his faithfulness, God also has given us his promises so we won’t lose hope for the future.“ Focus on GOD’S SUPERNATURAL PRESENCE rather than your adversity. God you see the crisis, you see the thousands of Illegals give us words to overcome what is happening, God we need protection over America, we need You! The Bible teaches us that if we walk hand in hand with God, he will bring good out of the bad situation we are now facing. Father we need a miracle at the border in Tx, Az, there is a plan that the Tx. Governor has in place, we ask you to Stop these thousands of Illegals to be stopped by Your Hand, we do not know if they are safe. God America has had it with the rules of this Administration that is being led by Satan to harm Americans. God we are trying to live by Faith and Trusting You. God the Bible teaches us that if we walk hand in hand with God, he will bring good out of the bad situation that we are now facing. We are asking we need to depend on you we cannot conquer this border crisis without you. We need title 42 to stay in place not be removed on the 11th of May. God You can see the consequences of decisions made today by Gov. Abbot, I am asking for help for Him to enact upon your instructions to Stop this horrible act that the Biden and Obama has put upon America. We need your presence and your skills to Divert this tragedy that is about to explode. There are possible drug cartels, sex offenders, killers that are in these groups. God there has already been to many lives lost over this border because of Biden and his Marxist rules. It’s time to make a stand, but we need You to give us a Red Sea moment to remove those that will try to enter without permission. God you can turn things around as we ask You to intervene in America’s Gov.. We also ask that you remove those who go against your ways and principles. I take the Authority that you gave me and bind any interference that will try and stop the Military that is suppose to be placed at the border to block the intruders. In Christ name I pray that your will be done! Thank you Father God. I decree- “ Baal’s hold on America is broken! We are re-covenanted to God. “

Father God, anyone with a lick of sense knows that this border crisis and all the other shenanigans that have been going on from day one of this administration is not because of incompetence but is intentional for the purpose of financially bankrupting this country so that China can call in what we owe them, take over and begin in seriousness the one world agenda. America stands between a world takeover and satan is trying everything to crash us. BUT YOU our Holy God and King, are not finished with America. She SHALL BE SAVED!
Give us wisdom in who to vote for, from our school boards on up to the presidency, help us make sure that elections are honest and true once again, and lead the way to justice in this nation once again.
All the people coming in to this nation illegally are coming with varying reasons, some for honest desire for a better life, others for the purposes that are out of hearts that are controlled by spiritual forces they don’t know are even present, purposes not of Your Will. And some are entering with the purpose of banding together for a takeover.
BUT You have a better way… we ask You to rebuke the demons behind it all, and we come in agreement to bind them on earth as they are bound in heaven. We ask You, Father, to replace every lie these illegals have believed with Your Truth. Overwhelm each one with Your Father Love, which is what each and every one are searching for, so that their minds will be released from the grip of the evil forces. In the name of Yeshua we loose them from satan’s grip. Then with clear minds they will be able to see their way clear to ask Yeshua to come in and turn their lives around and help this nation get turned around, then go back to their home countries and turn them around.
In Yeshua’s Holy Name, and NOW we praise You.

Come Lord Jesus restore our borders, lead and direct President Biden to stop the free-flow of people entering our country. Lord lead and guide them to enter legally. Protect these minors and keep them safe; shelter them under Your heavenly wings. Love them and uphold their dignity, Lord for they are Your children. Expose what You need and uncover the evil schemes of the enemy. We love you and ask in Your Precious Sons Name; Jesus
Amen

Oh LORD You have given me this prayer I believe…
I repent for the turning of our hearts to rely on a country to rescue us from problems and hardships. And I pray that the people who are coming to the borders of America to save them from their pain in their countries, would begin to have faith in You Father for their lives. And that they would turn to You, and Your Word of Truth and Life in Your Messiah, Yeshua our Savior. That faith and trust would rise within the hearts, and that You LORD would change the issue at the borders of America, in that the only ones that will come to America for help are the exact ones You have directed to do so. I pray that the others will have a change of heart and mind and will pray for their countries leaders and situations to be changed by the everlasting God. I pray Father, and ask, would You begin to put into the hearts and minds of pastors, Christian leaders, and Your people who are called by Your Spirit, would go to the borders to pray with and teach these people that God is Who they need and seek Him for their lives and their countries. To tell them that America isn’t their Savior, but Yeshua, Jesus, alone is their answer. I pray for You Abba to give clarity and understanding to people at the borders that You alone can save them and their country, and that their country needs them to return and pray and make a difference.
In Yeshua’s Name, I ask You, amen, so be it according to Your Word. Amen

Abba Father I pray that you send a hosts of angels to surround the borders. Abba and I say when these illegal people that are only coming to destroy our nation that you open up their eyes in the spirit realm and they may see your angels in full battle gear and will not be able to enter because your spirit will not allow them to enter. Abba we are not against giving people who are seeking asylum in this nation but they must do it correctly. Because you are not a God who lies or who works in the unrighteousness. Father I pray that you put the fear of God in them that they may repent and find salvation in you and convict them Holy Spirit of what they are doing is wrong and illegal. And Lord I pray that those in government that are the one responsible for this that you will bring them to justice and that they may come to repentance and turn from their wicked place.
In Jesus name I pray!

I’m Spanish married 27 yrs with American, in 27 yrs that I’ve been living in🇺🇸 I don’t know the first Spanish church were the ptrs or leaders pray for this chaos of illegals entering. Of course most of them are illegals or want to bring all their ppl here. Last night I went to a prayer meeting here in VA, and the Cuban Ptr. Was telling to all these illegals there to pray against De Santis trying to block illegals from coming. I told the Ptr. That the same ppl that support the craziness from illegals are the same ppl that want the kids at 7 yrs changing sex, pedos & rapists being free to do whatever they want, bcz those ppl making these laws don’t support police, and many other problems to destroy America. The Ptr. Just canceled me and left.. he also has a construction company where he hired all these ppl. And he gets some of $ back with their tithes. Please 🙏🙏pray for this Ptrs and churches who are corrupt & also made that their sheep’s put the evil shots, I can see many of the Ptrs know the true, but just care about their pockets

IT OPENS A DOOR FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF AMERICA SUCH AS FRANKLIN GRAHAM TO GO TO THE BORDER AND HAVE A REVIVAL TO BRING THESE ONE MILLION + SOULS TO JESUS ! ONLY GOD CAN TURN TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPH !

I decree the root issue at the border is being exposed and the necessary prosecution is and will occur in God’s Issachar timing according to His blueprints. Lord help us to hear and obey you in reference to this issue. There is a principle in God’s word that forces that hurt children, is like a millstone being attached to the neck and that person thrown into the sea. I know we do not struggle against flesh and blood but principalities and powers. Just like Jezabel was thrown off the porch by the eunuchs that she castrated, I ask you to dismantle the plan of the enemy at the border. I declare and decree the Jehu forces of our times are arising and the ekklesia is expanding and rising above this issue to defeat the enemy at the gate of our southern border. Distractions of the enemy will not stop the plan of God. I bind distractions, lies, and the octopus of corruption to be dealt will in Jesus name. The army of God is arising. America has covenant with Almighty God. The Lord is rebuking and will continue to rebuke this invasion in Jesus’ name.

I am praying for a divine restraining order over our border crisis. Since April of 2019 God has continued to impress upon me to pray for fortification of our ports, we say, fortify are ports, Lord, fortify the ports of the United States of America including our borders. I have been praying for this divine restraining order to be put in place over the enemies of the Lord, over the enemies of God and peace and over the enemies of the United States of America. I have been praying for a divine restraining order that would be supernaturally put in place to protect the perimeters of our nation. We are send your angelic reinforcements to our border Lord. to turn them back. I have been praying a divine restraining order and a supernatural action to push back the demonic invasion and sending confusion into the enemies camp. I have been praying for the continued removal of the spirit of Jezebel in our government and for the complete removal of the Biden administration! We pray God remove them and every evil and corrupt person in Washington from from the United States of America government, I have been praying that every plant of the enemy at our border and inside our borders and in the government of the United States of America would be exposed and removed immediately! I have been praying that the fear of the Lord, the terror of the Lord would be sent into these government officials and the cartels, and that they would be disarmed and fall under the fear of the Lord. We decree and declare the enemy shall not pass, he shall not pass, they shall not pass in Jesus name !

Father, help. Our leaders need wisdom and fortitude to stop this literal invasion of our country. Lord, help our leaders to stand up for what is good and right for the whole country. Cause them to decide to uphold our laws that people everywhere must emigrate lawfully. for those who wish to enter lawfully, make a way for them in good time. Lord, help. Move in a mighty way along our border with Mexico. Invade the Cartels and change their hearts. Protect children who have paid money to Cartels to come and then become their slaves. Oh, Lord, let there be an invasion of Your Spirit on all the people along the border waiting to come in, as well as among all the border patrol and law enforcement officers. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
