I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray against censorship and suppression of speech. We pray that any plans to silence conservatives would be foiled.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

This article, written by Ben Shapiro, shows the biased mainstream media’s attempt to silence conservatives just before the election.

From The Daily Wire. On Monday, I was wondering what exactly the October surprise from the Democrats and the media would be; one week out from an election and they haven’t had much. …

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

And then I received a text.

It came from a reporter at the New York Times, and read as follows:

Good day, Mr. Shapiro. I hope you’re well. I’m Nico Grant, a reporter at The New York Times. I wanted to give you an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube.

We rely on an analysis conducted by researchers at Media Matters for America. …

Here are points we plan to include. Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos between May and August that contained election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or not supported with credible evidence. Researchers identified videos posted by you in those four months that contain election misinformation. …

I also have a few questions: 1. Are you a member of the YouTube partner program? 2. If so, how frequently does YouTube demonetize your videos? 3. Has YouTube sent you messages, emails or notices in the last year that your content contains misinformation? Thanks for your time. …

Here’s what the New York Times was planning, as they were pretty obviously and clearly working with Media Matters for America, which is a far-Left radical organization, started by David Brock in an overt attempt to destroy all conservative media. …

The New York Times is overtly, clearly admitting to using Media Matters research in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize people on the Right and destroy them, because when you are demonetized, that also limits your reach. …

That’s what’s going on here. It turns out the October surprise from our media, along with Media Matters — again, both Media Matters and the New York Times are Democratic apparatchiks — is an overt attempt to silence dissent one week before an election.

That is what this is about. That is what the text is about. That’s the entire game. They run an article on the front page in the New York Times saying that YouTube is subsidizing election misinformation which, in turn, pressures YouTube (owned by Google, the number one donor to the Democratic Party) to censor any and all hosts, any and all information that disagrees with the Left.

The important point is: They didn’t just reach out to me. As we now know, they reached out to pretty much everybody on the Right …

Obviously, none of this is about election misinformation and about shutting down “bad information,” as everyone knows.

How do I know? Because they reached out to me about “election misinformation.” To me, of all people. If you listen to the show, you know I have been perfectly consistent since November of 2020 in that I believe Joe Biden won the 2020 election. I thought Donald Trump had every right to legally challenge that election, but I did not see the actual evidence that the allegations he was making about fraud in the election and the election itself were sufficient to overcome the state certification of the ballots.

So of all the people to come to about election misinformation, coming to me is absolute proof that this trick has nothing to do with election misinformation. Instead, it is about silencing anybody on the Right. That is the goal. …

In 2020, the late-breaking media interference came in the form of shutting down the Hunter Biden laptop story. The New York Post had the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the social media “bros” were pressured into taking down that story by both the press and by members of the federal intelligence agencies. …

Now, they are doing something even more overt. They are overtly attempting to shut down all conservative dissemination of information on the biggest video platform in existence one week in advance of an election.

If that’s not an attempt to rig an election, I don’t know what is.

What do you think of this article? Share your prayers ahead of the election below.

Well, I completely agree on the shut down of conservatives through their twisted approach. But Biden did NOT win the 2020 election legally. Fraud ballots, stuffing boxes, manipulation of election machines & stopping vote counts across the nation to flip results are NOT legal avenues to win. But since the cowards at power certified the election, it gives the indication it was legit. It was anything but legit.

    Correction to the above…I do NOT mean conservatives “should be shut down”…I’m saying they ARE being forcibly shut down through violations of the 1st amendment. My apologies for initially wording it incorrectly.

    Not only did Joe Biden NOT win the election there is AMPLE evidence to prove it. Mike Lindell and True the Vote has it all. I was shocked when the Supreme Court refused to hear the case brought by the states saying they didn’t have standing. Actually they did have standing according to the US Constitution. Unfortunately there is so much corruption going on already in this election. I pray that the Supreme Court will now hear the evidence and all Americans will know the truth!

Father, I pray you would foil this wickedness. Turn our hearts to truth and faith in you for you are true God. There is no other God. Anything claimed as god is no more than an idol, unable to anything for us. Thank you for your love and care and salvation. May we as a country come back to you and find your peace.

I’m not surprised by this. To get what they want, the left thinking leaders will stop at nothing to discredit anything that shows the truth as they do not believe the truth. They, the left leaders, create their own truth. We must continue to awaken. Body of Christ, please pray with me that the truth is revealed. Pray that God’s plan is seen and He is glorified through this election. I pray that satans lies are extinguished. I pray that those who have sold their souls to go against God’s Words are humbled, repent, and seek Jesus for salvation. I pray all of this in Jesus powerful name…Amen!!!

While I do not have anything close to the audience of Ben Shapiro, I think there may be something as sinister going on at fb, where they may be targeting business fb pages that belong to conservatives. Last August, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted censoring people under pressure from the government and promised to push back on this in the future. Based on what recently happened to me, Meta/fb may just be using different tactics. After making some political posts on my personal fb page, I received a private message in my inbox on our business fb site. The message said that we had violated unspecified trade mark rights and that the business page would be permanently removed if I did not respond, which I did asking for a review. None of my posts on that page had been flagged, our business is licensed and registered under the name on the account, and I hadn’t posted anything on that site since last June. The business site was taken down immediately and they haven’t responded to my request for review. When I posted a copy of the message they sent me, on my personal page, they responded, “you do not have permission to share this”, and that page was removed as well.

    Dearest Heavenly Father: We pray your divine protection for Jennifer and all the businesses and people that are trying to live for you and follow your commands and statutes. You promise us that nothing done in secret or underhandedly will not be brought to light. (Luke 12:2-3) Keep exposing and thwarting those that are trying to exalt themselves above you and are punishing your followers. Those that are weaponizing the government and media against people who stand on YOUR word. We know that this is a spiritual battle that only you can win for us. Father, we need you to show up and show out in our behalf. Your Son already won this battle for us, we just need those following the devil to REMEMBER that. Again please protect Jennifer and her family and business and all of those that know you alone are GOD! We give you all Honor, Glory, Power and Praise for you alone are Worthy to be PRAISED! In the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus we pray. Amen

Dear Father God, infinite in wisdom, power and love, Your mercy is over all your works. We watched while PM Netanyahu was villified, yet you ordained that he remain in office for such a time as this for Israel. We trust in your infinite wisdom and purposes and faithfulness to bring about a leader that will encourage and partner with Israel as she is attacked from all sides. You have heard the corporate prayers of intercessors, creating a wall of fire around our polling places, the God honoring candidates and their family. We have seen you pull back the curtains on evil and we have seen the wicked be caught in their own nets. We have watched the wheat rise with the tares as a generation of college students are now eagerly following Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We trust your insight and power and wisdom to trap the media in their own nets in perfect timing, especially concerning debuning the youtube ploy. Guide Ben Shapiro’s words or silence in this matter. Surprise us with your sovereignty over this election. The truth will set us and everyone free. In the name of Jesus, Amen

    Confuse their communications, Ps 55:9 and may they fall into their own traps, Ps 35:8(b) and may God “frustrate all the schemes of the crafty so they achieve no success. He catches the wise i. Their own shrewdness and the counsel of the cunning He brings to nothing” Job :12-13, in Jesus name I pray.

It is frustrating as can be, but our God is greater than these infidels. I find Mr. Shapiro’s conclusions about the stealing of the last election uncompelling because the courts have not allowed any breach of the programming of the voting machines which could prove they were set up to cause the steal, and the courts have also punted by disallowing standing to anyone and everyone challenging the vote’s veracity. His is a common theory and erroneous for at least the reasons above, but far more important is God’s protection over our vote results next week, which should result in a landslide and a mandate for the Trump MAGA plans, but we have lost the ability to even get clear results and need to step back and redesign the process.
Oh, God, you are powerful to compel that those in power over elections at every level come to their senses and to reveal the truth. Shine your light of truth on the dark places where evil hides and let it come out to be salted and destroyed.
Amen!

Ben, I agree with what you have said about the media and the democrats whose goal is a one party America with them in control and that is communism and an ungodly form of government that will surely bring God’s wrath. But I disagree with your comment that Biden won the election and you did not see “actual evidence” of election fraud. Well it has been known for years that democrats have been getting votes from people voting more than once, using dead people for votes, and any other means to win in any way. Democrats lie about the character of many conservatives and the media helps them by not doing fact checking on them. How about all those voting places that reported Trump ahead when counting stopped in the night then biden ahead when they opened in the morning. Cameras that show after counting was closed workers pulling multiple totes out from under a table with ballots in them and run them through the counting machines guess what biden ahead again. Or voting machines that incorrectly counted votes or have been manipulated with or a worker who reported on discrepancies with voting machines only to be convicted of crimes and given 9 years in prison. If it was so honest then the democrats would have laid their cards out and proved it. We all know the answer to that. The illegal votes should have been investigated because if one then there were hundreds of thousands that would have been found but alas the dems and the unelected are in control. Now they aren’t even trying to hide it, they want millions of illegals and non citizens to vote hoping they will vote democrat. I pray that God will guide us in this election and that God will prevent all the dishonest voting that has plagued this country for many decades. Trust in God’s plan. 🙏😇🙏

Lord, if we as the church had not been silent for a long time in the public square, it probably would not have been so easy to mute us now. So I repent for myself and for the church of remaining silent when the world desperately needed to hear the Gospel, to hear the unadulterated Word of God, to hear our testimonies, to hear our prayers, to hear our worship, and so much more. To a great extent we muted ourselves – allowing fear, apathy, etc. to tamp down the stirring of Holy Spirit to speak. I’m sorry, Lord.
Even if our public platforms are taken away, let’s not forget that person-to-person communication is the most effective way to show Yeshua’s love and open hearts to the Gospel.

Why are you still using Google products? This surprises you why? We have witnessed a coup attempt while Trump was in office, all manner of deceit and manipulation and you act surprised? Take some time to understand the history of the voting platforms that now control our elections.

First off Trump did win the 2020 election. The way the steal was orchestrated was through the use of unmonitored Drop boxes, ballot harvesting, changes to election processes and procedures (generate confusion) and the counting of ballots that should not have been. This was shown in various places that had unexplained pauses in the ballot counting where Trump was ahead but when the counting restarted he lost (Fulton County GA as an example). It is also shown in precincts where 110% of the voters registered voted and all votes were certified (Philadelphia as an example).

If you do not believe that this occurred watch 2000 mules. We worked extensively in 2021 to determine the methods that were used and these are just a few of them.

As Stalin famously stated “it is not who votes, it is who counts the votes that matters”

I pray that Trump’s coalition does not allow these activities to occur again and that evil is not allowed to overcome the will of “We the people”.

I read about this earlier but as I read this report this morning, I was reminded…..

Job 8
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
14His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
15He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.

Isaiah 56:6 Their webs will not be for clothing and they will not be sheltered by their works. Their works are the works of fraud and the works of evil are in their hands

Noco Grant is a spider….lately I have been reminded of spider webs as I pray and realize we have been surrounded by webs of corruption and lies. I am also reminded of an earlier prayer alert from Rick Riding of Succat Hall in Jerusalem. Back in 2011, he had a vision of evil systems forming in the Middle East “I understood that it’s not enough just to remove evil leaders from power. They have produced evil systems, like a spider producing a web.” Ultimately, he saw “the Lord appear as the Lion of Judah with razor-sharp claws and He began to shred certain systems of evil where the people had been crying out for deliverance …”

Censorship and the suppression of speech is most assuredly, part of a system of evil. In Afghanistan this month, a new law was issued by the Taliban, with one article addressing “the morality of women.” It equates a woman’s voice with her “private parts,” now stating a women’s voice cannot be heard loudly in public, and they cannot be heard singing or reciting hymns. They have silenced their voices!

‘Our Father in Heaven….Hallowed be thy Name….
keep us safe from the Evil One. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. (CJB)
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. (ESV)
And don’t let us yield to temptation but rescue us from the evil one. (NIV)

Proverbs 16 https://biblehub.com/proverbs/16.htm

Dear Lord and God Almighty, Your Word tells us to commit our works to You and our plans will be achieved, that You have made everything for Your Purpose—even the wicked for the day of disaster. We may throw the dice, but You determine how they fall. I can recite Your Truth forever, it is life itself but today, I am praying for all the spiders like Nico and his bosses. Let them quickly realize the faithful are praying for Your hand to shred their webs of lies. We are praying for Your Purpose to prevail in this deception and in everything ahead of the election,,, each day after too! I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, You are removing these systems of evil Father but as you do, I pray You will free the spiders because You are righteous in all Your ways and kind in all his works. (Psalm 145:17) Amen

Silencing the Truth isn’t only happening on the big stage, but even on our little, Church at WPV. We made a short video (only about 14-15 minutes) titled: “Should Christians Vote?” It mentions no candidates or parties and strictly states what the Bible says about voting and key Christian issues. However Facebook froze all our pages from being able to advertise or boost anything whatsoever. (I wonder if they will remain froze until Nov. 6th)?

I was ready for this October surprise. The left is losing, and when Merrick Garland made the announcement that anyone who dissented the election would be prosrcuted. I knew then that the left had every intention not to allow President Trump into the White House. Anyone who agrees with ot even hints of intervention in this election will be dealt with by the feds.
We must pray for God’s leadership at this time and that His hand will be dealt. God bless America.
