I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray that You would protect our nation. Cause our people to return to You!
Reading Time: 5 minutes

As a Christian journalist for half a century, I have always tried to steer clear of sensationalism. But when Trump says: “America faces its final battle”; David Horowitz releases a book actually titled Final Battle; Franklin Graham warns: “We’re about to lose this country”; veteran analyst Cal Thomas says he sees “the contributing factors for the collapse of a nation”; and top commentators Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly both say that Biden has plunged us into what is probably the biggest presidential scandal in our nation’s history — I have to agree and present my own assessment.

Get prayer updates from IFA.

 

My assignment is that of a “lookout” or a “watchman” akin to those in the Bible who understood the times with knowledge of what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32). I’m convinced that darkness is descending upon America.

“… Put a watchman on the city wall. Let him shout what he sees” (Isaiah 21:6 NLT). I do foresee judgment. But at the same time, God is calling us to persevere and to transform this “final battle” into something like what Churchill hoped would one day be said of the struggling British forces during World War II: “their finest hour.”

The Bible warns us about saying that “everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:4 NIV). God is patient … not wanting anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9 NIV), but there comes a time when the gavel falls!

Francis of Assisi said: “All the darkness can’t extinguish the light of a single candle.” And Scripture says: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (John 1:5 NIV).

What’s Happening

Survey the spectacle of Trump’s four indictments accusing him of nearly 90 felony charges that could potentially put him in prison for over 700 years! Franklin Graham shared in a nationally televised interview with Christian commentator Greta Van Susteren that radical “progressives” are aggressively working to “inflict enough political wounds on Mr. Trump to stop him from running because the left is scared to death of him and what he’s trying to do. … [I]f he’s reelected president, he’ll throw a monkey wrench into their agenda for one world government. … [I]t’s an all-out effort as sinister and dangerous to America as 9/11.”

At the same time, 40% of the nation and 90% of the corrupt media ignore the ethics violations, lying, influence-peddling, and bribery allegations of Joe Biden, and his son and family. The man in the White House has said repeatedly that he “never discussed or had any business dealings with Hunter or any family members” — who mysteriously took in between $20 million and $30 million (from foreign adversaries like China and Russia), even as Hunter confessed on “Good Morning America” that he “had no business experience.” Millions and millions of dollars for doing virtually nothing, as Joe engaged in roughly 20 speakerphone calls on dinners and meetings tied to these matters.

Bank records reveal that after one meeting, $142,300 was wired, and the next day, payment was made for Hunter’s $142,300 luxury sports car!

Devon Archer, Hunter’s business partner, admitted that these foreigners gave because of the Biden “brand,” which was Joe aligned with his son, and not because the admittedly cocaine-addicted Hunter was in anyway experienced.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act “prohibits the payment of bribes to foreign officials to assist in obtaining business.”

What did Hunter mean when it was revealed on the laptop he carelessly left behind that he had told his daughter he gave 50% of what he earned to his dad?

Tipping Point 

America has become very corrupt! Also, the policies of an inept figurehead president are actively promoting Marxist, morally bankrupt agendas. The Democratic Party has wrought unprecedented and unbelievable damage to this great nation. If these people have their way, we will soon be unable to recognize the United States of America.

The present corruption level is staggering, and yet the corrupt media is silencing the story (hear the crickets?). We must heed the prophetic warning of President Ronald Reagan, who told us: “Freedom is never passed on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years, telling our children and our children’s children, what it was once like in the United States, when men were free.”

In 1787, Ben Franklin told the people that they now had “a republic — if we can keep it!”

The Rev. Billy Graham once warned that “19 of 21 civilizations that collapsed did so from within.” America is teetering on the edge, and the trajectory is now like that of the fall of Rome.

Lessons to Learn

Recall the 1834 classic The Last Days of Pompeii, which tells the story of the prosperous and proud people who declined into decadence and deception, to then encounter sudden and cataclysmic destruction. The Mount Vesuvius eruption buried them alive, as, almost overnight, toxic smoke and ash spewed some 20 miles into the air. This “City of Sin” was infamous for its brothels, sexually explicit artwork, and homosexual imagery.

Will we learn these lessons from history, or will we be condemned to repeat that history?

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven … (Hebrews 12:25 NKJV).

Is it ultimately going to take a nightmarish calamity to jolt multitudes out of complacency and passivity?

Remember Jonathan Edwards in America’s First Great Awakening, who said that the primary hindrance to revival is spiritual pride, and nothing enables us to escape but humility, genuine repentance and total dependence on God. Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow … (Psalm 107:39 NIV).

Seven Causes of a Country’s Collapse

In 1776, when America was being launched through our Declaration of Independence, historian Edward Gibbon published a classic book that served as a warning to those early colonists and which should be a warning also to us today. The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire listed certain contributing factors to the collapse of that once great empire.

Here are seven factors I believe contribute to the collapse of nations.

  1. Moral decline, depravity, and demonic activity
  2. Breakdown of the family
  3. Corruption in government and the press/media
  4. Massive national debt
  5. Skyrocketing crime and violence
  6. Uncontrolled immigration and foreigners’ invasion
  7. A weakened military

Here’s the deal: Alongside the Civil War, America is now at its defining moment — the most dangerous and divided time in our history. Our republic and Constitution are under unprecedented assault, and we must come to grips with widespread corruption in the White House, in our political parties, in the FBI, in the Department of Justice, and in the mass media. If this is indeed the “final battle,” America can still manage to survive, if we follow all the conditions in 2 Chronicles — before the sands in the hourglass run out:

“… if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV).

I beseech you as a “watchman on the wall” to respond with a sense of urgency. The gravity of our situation is very real. Will this be the “final battle,” or our “finest hour?”

Hi, Ron:
So well said. Personally, I am so disgusted by the wokeness and depravity that I just want to escape from all of it. Other than praying, I am trying in my own little way to look for the joy in life, and celebrate it as I can with others.
Love to all,
Carole

I agree Larry. ll Chronicles 7:14 was written for the Nation of Israel, God’s people and Us, grafted in by grace! Repentance in this land was done on a regular basis from the First Continental Congress, to George Washington on through to the 20th Century. Hundreds of calls to States and the Nation by their elected Governmental Officials. It was called a Day of Fasting and humiliation for generations and seen as crucial by our Leaders up until the Spanish Flu.( Which God heard that crying out and responded too! ) There have been wonderful Days of Prayer, and wonderful Days of Gatherings organized by our Christian leaders i.e. The Return!
But God has been calling the Nation and we have not had a Governmental Leader operating in his or her position of Authority make that call for one hundred years! God does not change. We do and did and most of us don’t want to see or hear! God called for Watchmen to be set on the Wall. No man did that! He called for Watchmen in His Church, in Communities, and Nations! Salt and Light!
Somehow it became twisted with the American Dream and Culture. We in His Body have been ignorant of knowing what that is and the role we play. I Thank God, that in His Great Mercy He knows that! The Church was lulled to sleep just as Jesus warned us while He walked on earth. He has been waking His Bride who He loves, but it’s a slow go!
HIS ROAR IS GETTING LOUDER! Father, we are listening.

I don’t know. I am pretty much a normal guy. Retired military (35 years) and then worked another 10 years. I try to be a good Christian, attend Church routinely and try to be Salt and Light to people. I think humor is very healthy. But, I ask myself – “Why do we need a lookout or watchman, when we know God is in control?” I have learned that Bible verses can be picked and chosen to support almost any cause. An individuals discernment is key and essential.
Articles like this just cause more hate and discontent; and the worst thing they do is insight fear.
I suggest; spend more time doing something to help the homeless, than complaining about mistakes of the past. America is the greatest nation on earth, that is why everyone wants to come here. If you do not like it, move. But I have seen many – many different countries and none of them can match our resources or law abiding government. We are a country of “rule of law” and the constitution has enough checks and balances to keep outlandish issues and people in check. Request: please stop insighting fear by using the Bible.

I will add another factor at the top or near the top to the 7 already listed:
a. The Marxist infection of the educational establishment that has cleverly brainwashed millions of unsuspecting students. It began decades ago in universities and has spread into our public education system.
Who would have thought 5 years ago that drag queens would be dancing and strutting in front of elementary age children. And they do it proudly in an in-your-face way. Pure evil….

Everything that is happening in & to our country today is & has been part of the Communist Rules For Revolution. read them. One states introducing our young men to sex to reduce their ruggedness (lessen the possibility they will join the military). They went a couple of steps further & started this gender identity lie. Our education system has been infiltrated by the left & our public school system & many of our universities are leaning left. It started after WWll & slowly infiltrated our society. Everything that is happening today is there in one form or another & nobody is seriously pointing it out to the public. The main reason is the Main Stream Media, Hollywood & many TV hosts all touting the left’s lies. The worst is the LGBTQX claiming legitimacy & demanding more & more attention & the leftist media gives them credibility. Probably the most important thing weighing in on the 2024 election will be abortion. I’m anti-abortion but there seems to be mope people wanting to kill babies than not. The GOP has to come up with an acceptable abortion policy across the individual states or the left will win in 2024. Let’s take back the congress & the white House first, then readdress the abortion issue. Most of all, KEEP IT QUIET! Oh, yeah, UNIFY THE PARTY!

Everything in this article seems totally negative except “if my people humble themselves and pray..” I agree that we are on a slippery slope. I also know that many many are walking the land, declaring over the land and interceding and fasting for America. Also many prophets that are in alignment are giving hope and not just hopelessness. It does depend on us standing up also and not falling back.
We definitely must seek with urgency, but we also must have a hope in the God that can restore. It will be a battle but if we persevere we will win! Not all is hopeless.

Biden didn’t keep documents for more than a year when he was asked to return them. Biden didn’t look for any way, no matter how fantastical, to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Your fellow Americans, that may have different opinions are not your enemy and are certainly not baying for your blood. Remember ‘Hang Mike Pence’ and the gallows?
The best thing an innocent former president could do is to start the trial quickly so the farce can be shown to all. Why wouldn’t he want that?

I recommend the book “Christ’s Last Words to His Church” by Dr. John S. Barnett to reel us in from the distractions.
Isaiah 33:15 “He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
who despises gain from fraud and from oppression,
who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil.
16 [Such a man] will dwell on the heights;
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
his bread will be given him;
water for him will be sure.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
22 For the Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our Lawgiver, the Lord is our King; He will save us.

On 3 March 2015 I gave this talk at a KofC meeting

Subject: Not Enough Hatred for Evil

Dear Brother Knights,
I heard a wise man once say that the more we love what God loves, and the more we hate what God hates, the more God-like we become. As a mathematician, this statement seems perfectly logical to me. In fact, the Old Testament is full of passages that speak about what God hates. For example: “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” (Proverbs 6 King James Version). Nowadays if you pick up any daily non-biased newspaper you will probably read about most if not all seven.

Since the end of WWII I have observed a decline in people’s hatred for evil. For example I hear people talk and say things like “Did you hear politician XYZ lying on TV last night?” and a common response would be “No big deal, all politicians lie.” It is now become acceptable behavior for politicians to lie. People give them a pass. To say it another way, some people have become desensitized to lying and other bad behaviors, i.e. some people are becoming more desensitized to sin. They have forgotten, or maybe have not been told, that one of the things that the Lord hates is a lying tongue. And then of course there is still another possibility in that some people only believe in what they want to believe.
Nowadays you will hear some people (mostly liberals) saying that it is wrong or not politically correct to hate. I suspect that this is a denial mechanism, a way of justifying themselves from not hating the evil that surrounds them or some of the things they do. It is interesting to note that this behavior is related to the path of least resistance, or to the path of most comfort. I really believe that all this political correctness nonsense was manufactured in hell.
There is no sin in hatred as long as we hate what God hates. In fact, when we hate what God hates, hatred becomes a virtue. There is something wrong with a person who does not hate being lied to by the president of his country, or does not hate being forced to pay for other people’s abortions, or does not hate a government that encourages laziness, or does not hate the act of innocent men, women, and children having their heads chopped off. What would Jesus have to say about these behaviors?
I have also noticed that since the end of WWII within the Catholic Church, and in other churches as well, there is plenty of talk on the subjects of goodness and love. Certainly these are very good things that people need to hear about. However, there has been a decline of talks, homilies, and teachings about sin, evil, and the devil. In fact, there is very little or no talk on these subjects today. For the most part, churches, schools, and government are silent on these issues. This observation raises some very basic and profound questions. If a person does not fully understand sin and evil, then how can he be expected to fully understand goodness and love? Should people be held responsible for not believing in sin, evil, or the devil when their pastors, parents, and teachers are silent on these subjects? What is the root cause of these subjects not being talked about in our churches and schools?

Below are some excerpts from a Retreat that Bishop Sheen gave in Gary Indiana back in 1973 which seems to confirm my observations and offer some insight and explanations as to what is going on:
1) We are living in the first age in history that has denied the reality of sin.
2) It used to be that only us Catholics believed in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Nowadays
everyone believes that he is immaculately conceived.
3) Sin is not the worst thing in the world. The worst thing in the world is the denial of sin.
Note: Compare 3) with “To see evil and not call it evil is evil.”
4) We are either domesticating the devil or denying his existence.
5) The devil is most powerful when he has people believing he does not exist.
6) God’s definition of Himself is “I Am who Am”. The devil’s definition of himself is “I am who am not”.
7) The devil is running things down here and is doing a damn good job.
8) We do not have to wear hair shirts these days, our neighbors are hair shirts.

What is so very interesting to note here is that Bishop Sheen said these things back in 1973. When one considers, among other things, the increase of murder, abortion, violence, terrorism, tearing apart of families, drug abuse, disrespect for police and rightful authority in the past few years, we find that 1973 was relatively calm compared to what is going on today.

Conclusion
Today I hear a lot of people complaining about others starving for food and shelter which is very noble, but I do not hear any complaints about others starving for Truth. Like good food, people require Truth to maintain a healthy and fruitful life. Many people are starving for Truth and do not know it. We need to go back and teach some simple basics like the nursery rhyme “Little Red Riding Hood” to be reminded that evil can come in various disguises, and learn what we can and must do about it.

Question
In addition to prayer and good works that the K of C are so well known for, is there anything that the Knights can do to help people recognize evil as well as love though education, encouragement, and motivation?

As Bishop Sheen would say,
God love you.

For anyone who doesn’t know. I know for a fact that President Trump is a born- again believer. His Christian Advisory Board had Mary Colbert on it who witnessed him give his heart to Jesus in a sinner’s prayer. He is a baby in Christ but is receiving daily prayer for wisdom from God and as former firefighter Mark Taylor spoke these words from The Lord “he will not be a praying man going into office but he will be one coming out”.
His(Trump’s) job is not only to dismantle the New World Order but lead in the rescue of child sex-trafficked children. Not literally, but not block the efforts to do so by the military(white hats). The part of the military loyal to Trump.

    It is so troubling to read posts like this! Don’t you read Scripture- “By their fruits you will know them”. Only God knows this man’s heart- but his actions and his constant blasting anyone who disagrees with him. How long does it take for a “baby Christian to grow up? In the Bible study that I teach, those who become Christians are immediately transformed- they want to worship with other Christians, their language changes, their countenance changes- the Holy Soirit does that! I am saddened how many Christian’s ignore the reality of this man’s life, excusing his behavior. God can change America not a human. As I read Scripture and pray over it, I believe America may not survive this downfall and no person can change that- especially weak Christians who will not look at truth. Keep your minds and hearts in the Word which will strengthen your relationship with God. We need to focus on Jesus and not on a human.

      Ione, I agree with your statement about us keeping our eyes on Jesus not man. Only God can change a man’s heart. But, this man is not perfect, neither are we !!!! We must pray for each other to run the race that is set before us looking to Jesus — the author & perfector of our faith!!! There are many believers being persecuted for their faith – this includes our faithful Donald Trump. He’s being persecuted for giving his opinion – Free speech is not law breaking!!! We have people in our government who are breaking the laws. We have to continue to pray that God will hear from us to administer justice. He’s the righteous judge. We are not the judge! GOD HELP US ALL!!!

    Thank you Jane.
    I first learned all these things through Mark Taylor and Mary Colbert. I found Mark Taylor “by accident” in 2015. I lost track of him when there was no more Spiritual Smackdown and some interviews hosted by Chris MacDonald with Dr. Graves, Melissa Legget, Mark Taylor and also the late Paul Obel. I still have access to all of the prophecies God gave Mark Taylor.
    Is Mary Cobert still active? I lost all information of her after the 2015election.
    I pray daily for Mark Taylor and family including his mother and sister.
    The Lord bless you. I was looking for something else today when I came upon your reply.

Is it now the time for us to be able to say: “If the God we serve exists, then he can rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire, and he can rescue us from the power of you, the king. But even if he does not rescue us, we want you as king to know that we will not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.””
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭CSB‬‬

We must pray as never before! We must repent of every sin God shows us and turn toward Him in humility. We must take whatever action He shows us to take. We must trust Him whatever comes! As Frances Schaefer said, “He is there and He is not silent.”

Now is the hour as Larry Tomczak has said. We must be as the wise virgins gathering extra oil and watching!

“. . . humility, genuine repentance, and total dependence on God.” Help us, Father, in this critical hour, to turn to you in sorrowful repentance over the sin, sins, and sinfulness so
casually flaunted. May we, Your people, humble ourselves before You and earnestly seek
such a move, such a shaking, that only Your very Spirit can effect. May JESUS be lifted up!
May the Gospel be heralded across this entire Land, that everyone will be confronted with its call to Salvation! Let it be, Oh Lord!!

The kings of the earth set themselves,

Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:

    So, what are you doing to bring your neighbors to Jesus? It is nice to state what we should do, but are we doing it ourselves.? Christians have all the right words but actions are missing. I moved into a 55 and over apartment after selling my home. I asked the Lord for His purpose for me there, The Lord reminded me that He placed me here for a purpose! I began walking the halls, praying for each one who lives there. Then God directed me to begin a Bible study- I knew no one. God has been in this- 15-20 people attend weekly, many coming back to Jesus and have life changing work in their hearts and many not saved as well ! When I hear someone is hurting, I go and pray over them- without knowing them. The only way people come to Jesus is through us- we must walk the talk. Let us not become weary in well doing!

It would be better to prepare His people for apostasy and betrayal by brethren and family and persecution than to continue to speculate about what’s going to happen. All I know is that the WEF had their Reset long before “prophets” began to talk about God’s reset. I’m very suspicious.

    There can be a both/and there. Scripture seems to foretell both. But yes, we need more training for enduring real persecution. Those who endure to the end will be saved. The overcomers. Scripturally, meditation on Christ’s epistles to the Seven Churches in Asia seems very appropriate at this time.

We are in the “Final Battle!” Two National Songs come to mind: America the Beautiful, The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
“Americas beautiful spacious skies” are no longer, now covered in a black cloud of Spiritual Warfare.. Once “Amber waves of grain”, turning to fields ripe for Harvest!
May God as we call out “Shed His Grace on thee!”
I believe, God’s Grace will prevail for a season of time. We shall experience a time of Repentance and Revival. When the last soul is called in, only known to Him, “He shall loose the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword! America to her demise, “New World Order” ushering in Satans short lived rule and reign. . . . .
Are your lamps filled with oil? Expect a separation of wheat among the tares. . . . .Stay focused on the things above, praying both in and out of season.

    I see whom you’re praying for. I’m not sure whom you’re praying TO.

    If you know Jesus Christ, who said it’s better to have a millstone hung around your neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble, you might understand that it matters to our King that a president came to power who appointed three Supreme Court justices who would go on to address a large piece of the daily national atrocity of their wholesale slaughter. And you might see that He helped him make those appointments. Christians do not support Trump for any of his unrighteous dealings, but it is not for those that he has been hunted in this unprecedented and illegal way. The unrighteousness he has done has always garnered cheers and accolades from the people that are now trying to imprison him. Along with many other righteous people in this generation, the lawfare he is experiencing now is for the sake of precisely the righteous things he, and they, have done. And even more to the point, for the unrighteous dealings of powerful forces, which they have illuminated. Perhaps you are not worried that the forces of the world will persecute you. Perhaps the great power of federal agencies, Wall St., academia, Hollywood and the like are your friends. Perhaps you have not read First John.

    And for the unrighteous things — may God have mercy on you and me. And on Mr. Trump.

The focus of the “end time battle” is not the USA, it is Israel and Jerusalem. The people who support God’s intent to restore Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people there will be the strongest people on Earth. No “god” or tinhorn Globalist will overthrow them! Genesis 15, Amos 9.11-15, Zechariah 9.13, Zechariah 12. Daniel 11.32, Daniel 2.34,35, Psalm 2. God forgive the USA and our “Christian” Presidents who have tried to divide Your Land and Your people. Destroy the “two State Plan and send it to the garbage can of History. Restore us as we co-operate with your “Commander’s Intent” for Planet Earth.

The bible says we don’t fight flesh and blood but powers and rulers of darkness. All of what is happening is Satan’s agenda to destroy our nation. Satan is always threatened by God’s people especially those with the power of the Holy Spirit because we bring his kingdom down. I have always felt in my heart that these dark days will come to pass and God wants to turn our nation around. We are at the end of times but not yet. There are too many souls to win to the kingdom of God. These are like the times of Exodus. God’s people who humble themselves fall into repentance and turn to God always win. Trump is a threat to the kingdom of darkness and they will throw everything at him to stop the restoration and the nation returning back to God. The Pastors, ministries, and leaders of the church need to come out of their religious and complacent ways and begin to rise and take back their territories. It’s time to rise from their dormant ways and win souls for the kingdom. It’s time to go back to the foundations of Christ and go back to the book of Acts.

This is not a political battle–it’s spiritual. There is no way for apostasy to have become so entrenched in the Western world so quickly other than through the power of the “rulers and authorities, the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” as Paul said in Ephesians 6. They’re winning battles, but they lose the war.

Trump may not be the Jesus loving/fearing man we want him to be but he’s not controlled by evil spiritual forces either. That’s why the left fears and hates him. They know they’ll take a beating if Trump or another warrior God chooses prevails. They’ll do anything to fight against God. We know that doesn’t end well for them.

We cannot ignore politics but political men cannot save us. God can and does, and he uses men to call our nation back to himself. My role: pray. “Lord, open the eyes of your people to see the spiritual battle in front of us. Hear our prayer for help and send an angel army to battle for us. To you belongs the glory and ultimate victory!”

Brother Larry, such an inspiring article. Well written and to the point. O’ how I wish that America would be restored, for I love my country with all my heart.
However, as also a Watchman on the Wall, like yourself, I see God the Father’s timeclock has begun, and all prophecies that were foretold of the End Times are now in motion, and nothing will stop it till all things be fulfilled.
This is a time of great sorrow for our nation, and yet a time of great rejoicing for the children of God for soon we will be Taken out, or Raptured if you will, and escape the wrath of God which shall try every soul on this world. O’ how I wish there could be another reprieve so that more souls would listen to the gospel and come to Christ before we are taken so they may go with us. There is a great sorrow in my heart for those who won’t listen and continue in the sinful ways, and they shall be Left Behind to face the great Tribulation and what lies ahead. It is a very sad thing, but it shall happen!

    Thank you, Wendell. Enough of the hand-wringing. Luke 21:26 “Men swooning away or expiring with fear and dread and apprehension and expectation of the things that are coming on the world; for the [very] powers of the heavens will be shaken and caused to totter. … 28 Now when these things begin to occur, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption (deliverance) is drawing near.” “Do not be afraid for these things must happen” Luke 21:9
    What happened to our Blessed Hope? Satan can’t do all he wants until we are raptured, then he has 7 years before his defeat.
    Agenda 2030 = Messiah 2030 > Rapture 2023
    Right after Feast of Trumpets is the [Sustainable Development Goals] SDG Summit “to confirm the covenant with many for 7 years”! Advertising “Leave NO ONE Behind [Sept 18-19] Maranatha!
    As for the Great Tribulation, the day after the rapture will be the Big Day of Repentance and Return of the prodigals. And it is a mercy that they get a second chance, don’t you see?
    I’m preparing my house, car, finances, and family, friends and neighbors for the rapture. Make a Rapture Kit of your own to include the real explanation to counter the official explanation: It wasn’t Aliens! Bibles and books. Sign the title of your vehicles. Prepare letters and encouragement. Instructions to locate and access storage units, whatever.
    And pray for those who are left behind as you do.
    Hebrews 10:24 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

All the signs have been out in the open, however subtle, for decades. Christians have failed to ask for discernment & Godly wisdom… but it is not too late.
Trump was doing his best while surrounded by traitors, vipers… perhaps not realizing how horrid the swamp truly is. Pence & Barr are traitors, but many of us did not see that! Don’t “blame” DJT! He did a lot considering he was surrounded by the enemy.
The fact that the Graham organization is associated with Pence is very disturbing!!
If DJT is not the next POTUS, you will know God has moved us onto the next era in His plans, and it will not be comfortable.
I claim victory. I claim defeat of swamp.
Derek Prince knew this destruction of America was coming decades ago. I was not an “active” Christian for decades, but I have expetienced mynown personal revival & discernment.

Collapse of nations comes from not heeding God’s Word. Let’s face it, that is why your list exists. What I find disturbing is that we had a president who laid his hand on the Bible and swore an oath that he did not keep. Everyone is so sorry for Donald Trump, but had it been someone else, he would be the one leading to have that person removed. Call it a witch hunt? How much energy did Donald Trump use to try and prove that Obama was not American? How much noise did he make about the Central Park Five? How did it look when he called football players SOB’s, knowing that he has sons and would not want anyone to refer to them as such? We are the Body of Christ. One day each of us is going to stand before God and give an account of the deeds done in the body, whether good or evil. No one will be able to speak on our behalf.

LORD, I pray that we as Your people would respond to You in humility, prayer, fasting, seeking Your face, seeking Your righteousness through obedience and turning from our wicked ways – so that the promise of II Chron. 7:14 can be claimed for our nation.
I suggest a sober reading of Nehemiah 9 and 10, which I accidentally (?) stumbled upon when turning to II Chronicles. It describes a solemn assembly held on the last day of Succot, after this appointed time had been re-established and observed in the land – post-exile. Several phrases jumped out – “Now therefore, our God, great, mighty, fearsome God, who keeps both covenant and grace: let not all this suffering seem little to You that has come on us . . . and on all Your people . . . There is no question that You are just in all that has come upon us; for You have treated us fairly. It is we who have acted wickedly. Our kings, leaders, cohanim, and ancestors did not keep Your Torah, pay attention to Your mitzvot (instruction) or heed the warnings You gave them. . . So here we are today, slaves. Yes, in the land You gave our ancestors, so that they could eat what it produces and enjoy its good – here we are in it, slaves!” (9:32-36)
Even in a constitutional republic, God is still sovereign. We can mud-sling and argue all day about who and what caused our current predicament, which is as I see it being “slaves” to the tyranny of an ungodly government. Or we can respond as a Godly people, and embrace the attitude of 9:26-27 – “Yet they (we) disobeyed and rebelled against You, throwing Your Torah behind their (our) backs. They (we) killed Your prophets for warning them that they should return to You. . . So You handed them over to the power of their adversaries, who oppressed them.” Perhaps we need to recognize that we have been handed over, and respond in humility – Oh, YHVH, You are just and true, and all of Your judgments are righteous. Then accept with hope the promise in vs. 27 “Yet in the time of their (our) trouble, when they (we) cried out to You, You heard from heaven . . .” Our hope is in Him, not in a restored nation. All nations will eventually fall under judgement. Our hope is in the establishment of His Kingdom – not in the kingdoms of men. Let’s focus where our hope truly lies. Let’s trust His sovereignty to accomplish His will and purposes.
Let’s be good citizens, and fulfill whatever callings God has given us – but let’s trust Him, not ourselves or any politician – for the “arm of flesh” will fail us.

Corrupt nations come from God- lessness, bereft of wisdom, full of self, and devoid of the fear of God! Both the current and former President are guilty and both must repent and surrender completely to the One and Living God in Heaven. We MUST be about Kingdom building, not nation building (let God take care of that. We are to pray)

Only in repentance , Only in YOU GOD do we have any hope. HOLY SPIRIT work and will according to the GODHEAD’s good pleasure to bring conviction of our sin as individuals and corporately as a nation. Forgive us for abdicating our role as the ekklesia. GOD by your miraculous creative and resurrecting power restore YOUR saltiness to our depleted souls. GOD like Israel in Egypt we cry out for deliverance. We declare our trust not in political parties. Declare that only in trust in YOU might we prevail. Our rights come from YOU and no one else. We ask that YOU reveal to us our sick hearts. Break our hearts for what breaks YOURs. Like Ezekiel we see the dead bones of our country, our culture exposed under the scorching sun. It does no good to presumptively speak to the bones without YOUR command to do so. YOU have said in YOUR WORD and through YOUR prophets that a shaking is coming. We embrace it. We embrace and submit to YOUR purification. Purge from us pride, complacency, a powerless “gospel”. Expose evil and evildoers. We bind every demonic spirit and principality that is working in our government through people to murder the defenseless pre-born, destroy GOD’s design for family, exalting evil and trashing righteousness. Let YOUR ekklesia come humbly before YOU, repenting, and forsaking any evil. Shake us . Purify us. Change us. Then grant us an ongoing pure heart as we humbly live in righteousness and witness YOU healing our land. YOU establish government in the heavenlies and on earth. Now purify it. Remove from the heavenlies anything that is not of you. Remove from government anyone or anything that is not aligned with YOUR will. Let us not shrink back from speaking the testimony YOU have placed in our hearts in speaking truth to power. Make us humbly dependent upon YOU. Make us fearless in following YOU and speaking the testimony of YOU everywhere and in every situation with grace, clarity, and power that comes from YOU. LORD JESUS, YOU are our only hope. HOLY SPIRIT quicken unto us THE WORD. FATHER , rise up and let YOUR enemies be scattered. Unto to YOU and YOU alone be the kingdom, glory, and the power. Amen

The trouble is, that people need to make their own choices – God does not require them to choose one way or another. They then live with the consequences of that choice. The best we can do is proclaim what we perceive, and argue for healthy choices. I agree, I see parallels between here and ancient Rome, but have not yet been able to identify exactly the equivalent of the “Mongol hordes” unless that be the proponents of the one world government, enforced by AI, and designed to destroy our humanness (the Internet of bodies, transhumanism) and to destroy our ability to choose via total control of AI. (Remember, in Brave New World, even the head honcho, “the Ford”, was unable to change the situation.

This is the time to speak out – not just to raise alarm, but to propose solutions, and to create small societies amongst ourselves to serve as examples of what needs to be.
The world itself is in a time of transition. Look around, listen but take in that which is good and useful, and act accordingly.
True government is in small units subject to God by whatever name one calls God, not by one overpowering world force.

As a blood bought daughter of the Most High God, I declare that the demons of darkness, who hate
God, and all who serve Him in the name of Jesus Christ, will be defeated and flee. May we fuse together in prayer, as the body of Christ and declare that we will serve the Lord and Him alone. We will not bow the knee to the gods of this world, nor agree with demonic agenda, nor will be sit “prayerless and hopeless” when it is our God who gives us His Word as a powerful weapon to defeat all injustice, fear, lies and false leaders who have no heart for this nation founded on God’s Word and for the glory of Jesus Christ. We declare the defeat and ruin of all entities seeking the destruction of America and shout with one voice….NO, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE HEART AND SOUL OF AMERICA….IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL NOT HAVE OUR CHILDREN BEFORE BIRTH OR AFTER, YOU WILL NOT STEAL OUR LIVLIHOODS, YOU WILL NOT CAUSE US TO BE SILENCED, YOU WILL NO CAUSE US TO SERVE GOVERNMENT, BUT WILL HONOR THE CONSTITUTION THAT IS “BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. WE STRIKE DOWN ALL EVIL PLANNED AND OPERATING WITHIN AND WITHOUT OUR BORDERS. WE WILL BE A SOVEREIGN NATION ONCE AGAIN WHO WELCOMES ALL COMING LEGALLY, WE DECLARE CARTELS OPERATING IN AND OUTSIDE OF OUR BORDERS WILL LEAVE, DEFEATED AND EMPTY HANDED. ORDER AND RULE OF JUST LAWS WILL BE HONORED AND EVILDOERS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER AS WE STAND FIRM IN THE POWER OF OUR GOD TO PROTECT THIS LAND WHICH IS AND SHALL BE “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”! AMEN1

Lord, I thank You that You brought forth this nation. You called forth our founders and there was a covenant between You and them that this nation would be a light to all nations. That it would be founded and built on Biblical principles. And Lord, we are once again entangled in a battle to see if that nation, so conceived, can long endure. Father, remember us and Your covenant with Your people. Cause Your people to seek Your face and turn from their wicked ways. Father, help us to be willing and obedient to pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to lifting up Your name throughout this land. Father God, we cannot do this without You! We are asking that You intervene exposing evil and revealing Truth – for it is Truth that will set us free. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

I hate to break it go you but the UK is a post Christian Godless pit. The Archbishop of York recently complained about and noted Jesus’ use of the word Father in the Lord’s Prayer is a “problem “. Pride flags everywhere and Wales governed by perverts. Do some homework. I was there last month as I had to lay my Sister to rest as she died earlier this year. We left in 2011 and a friend in PA noted “ah, you’re going from the fire into the Frying Pan!”. Christians must grasp the fact that God put Joe Biden in the White House as He alone is Sovereign over the affairs of men. Read Psalm 2 and reflect on it. The only reason America hasn’t been incinerated is because more than 7000 have not bowed the knee to Baal. Unless the corruption is expunged following the 2024 elections, America will be destroyed.

    I was amazed that God allowed this man in the white house until I learned that there are churches that are practicing satanic things and other churches that do not uphold the moral standards of God. I agree that we are definitely being infiltrated due to a lack of Bible teaching and evangelism in this country. People don’t even read their Bibles. The most important thing we can do is get out there and witness and stop worrying whether they will not agree or be mad at us. Other countries know that they will be killed for sharing the Gospel while we are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings. We must pray that the true church has courage and strength while drawing closer to the only one who can save our country.

Not only is America on the edge of imploding, but the whole of The West as we know it, consisting of America, Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, are in damage control, whilst maintaining their far-left/socialist Paris Aggreement culture/religion. So far, Britain are the saving grace, in keeping their Conservative Government, while denying any participation with the European Union. Judeo/Christian values are slowly becoming obsolete in these countries, hence their One World Government structure with its secular baseline, is begining to threaten, while intimidating our way of life. There are only two important weapons that can save The West as we knew it…..Prayer and Donald Trump.

    There is no salvation through politics. Our salvation will come from God, and God ONLY. We can put our desires and faith in Trump, but if God chooses to let America fall, or to be sustained some other way, that is what we Christians must understand. At present, Trump is “standing in the gap” for us. Time will tell if this is what God has inititated and supported for America.

Recovery of our nation must be primarily a spiritual one. In commenting on Solzhenitsyn’s experiences in Soviet camps Dr. Gerhart Niemeyer said,”These examples teach us that ‘a return’ is possible, but also that no return is possible without something like an annihilating situation…no recovery of order can be had by a merely intellectual tour de force: nothing short of a soul shaking experience can stir up the ashes of lost truth.” We may be approaching such an annihilating situation. Rather than letting such a prospect depress us, we should see and prepare for it an opportunity for the return of order.” ref. “America on Trial” Robert R. Reilly

    When the watchman on the wall calls out the dangers, to survive the people must obey his warnings. As a Nation, we have sinned against an Almighty God! Accepting murder of the unborn, actions and behavior of the homosexual movement is an ‘ Abomination unto God’! We don’t hate the individual; Jesus gave his life for us while we were yet sinners. He died for the World to have a free gift of salvation. It is an individual choice of the behavior they choose. Because of the many false idols that the position of prosperity, America has given its citizens to choose, causes the struggles of today in an effort to awaken the people to the truth; this World is not our final home! There is a judgment day coming when every soul will be judged for the choices that they, as individuals make. They will be separated as “goats and sheep” one to eternal life with Jesus, who is Lord of Lords or eternal damnation with their chosen father, Satan and the fallen angels.
    Look to Jesus and Live for all eternity. Remember you have a choice; Think, what if, the gospel is the truth? I will have eternal life. There is HOPE AND PEACE IN CHOOSING God’s way.

    Love your grit and positivity. None of us want to see the demise of our country.
    There is, however, some sobering warnings to consider. The beasts of Daniel should be studied- they foretell the various kingdoms that would beset the world, up to the end time of man. Matt. 24 is a warning of what will happen to many believers at the end. And of course, Revelation explains what the world system in general will experience. Many comforting words are to be found in places like Psalms. I Thes 5: 1-4 tells us we will know the approximate time of the end. All this does not say America survives unscathed. We just have to be ready for whatever happens- no matter what that is, we look forward to our Lord & King’s return in power and glory to set up His Kingdom for 1000 years on earth, as outlined in Rev. 19-20. Be encouraged that the Creator has told us all this and is in complete control. We are to fear no man, but trust in Him who sees the end from the beginning- God the Creator, and His Son, Christ, who is returning to restore the original Kingdom purity to the earth. Praise Him!

A PRAYER FOR OUR NATION, OUR WORLD…
Our God, our Creator, we humble ourselves before the throne; I come in the name of Jesus, our Savior, and our protector. Father this Nation belongs to You, the earth is your footstool.
Father we, your people have sinned, we have carried ourselves with pride and without Your Leadership. We have forgotten the God who made this nation and set up the ignorance that we exceed all on our own. My Lord, forgive us!! We stand before the Cross of Jesus and ask that the healing blood of Jesus be around the country that is Yours, made the healing power of the Blood of Jesus wipe away all sin from our people, our Nation, and our pride.
Father you can hear the blood of your people crying out, these prayer warriors stand at the front to exalt your name the creator of our land, and our Nation.
I pray for every prayer warrior to rise and kneel at the gates of heaven, pray that the evil that plaques our nation, our world be cast out in the Name of Jesus.
Amen

    Pattie, according to the Holy Bible, over and over again we are admonished not to worship ( or follow) anyone or anything other than the Creator God( God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) Jesus gave up His Godship, came to earth as an innocent baby, lived a perfect( without sin) life to be our example. He gave His life that we might through Him be forgiven of all our sins . He was crucified, buried but on the third day, ROSE UP FROM THE GRAVE AND today is intercessor for the World that all might know him.Because He lives, so shall we! Have a personal relationship with Him. It is a Free Gift to all who believe on the name of Jesus; who obey The instructions that he told His disciples. “Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind and Soul. The second is like it that you love your neighbor as yourself!” The Holy Spirit helps the person who accepts the gift to walk daily in the ‘light as He is in the Light.” We do this by reading His Inspired Words daily and pray for our needs. Demonstrate love to God and to all our neighbors.

As I read this, I wept. I wept for our country. I wept for the children. I wept because I have been so distracted by my own problems, I have not prayed as I should have for America. A song lyric came to my mind. “ God is for me, He’s not against me” “ The King of King’s calls me His own” – God was speaking to my heart. God is for us, we must believe that He will win this battle. Not because we deserve it, but because of His great mercy. I thought of Nehemiah’s prayer; He prayed for forgiveness for his sin, his father’s sin, his country’s sin. “And I said, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, Who keeps covenant, loving-kindness, and mercy for those who love Him and keep His commandments, Let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to listen to the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You day and night for the Israelites, Your servants, confessing the sins of the Israelites which we have sinned against You. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. [Deut. 6:1-9.] Remember [earnestly] what You commanded Your servant Moses: If you transgress and are unfaithful, I will scatter you abroad among the nations; [Lev. 26:33.] But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the farthest part of the heavens [the expanse of outer space], yet will I gather them from there and will bring them to the place in which I have chosen to set My Name. [Deut. 30:1-5.] Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere and fear Your name (Your nature and attributes); and prosper, I pray You, Your servant this day and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was cupbearer to the king.”
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭1:5-11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

    We haven’t recognized this country since around March of 2020 and it has worsened by the day. The days are evil but The Lord has the last word. America has already fallen and will completely fall. Then the Lord will make it rise again. I have no idea how but this is faith. In the meantime we must pray incessantly!

Dear Jesus, Thank You that You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. I pray for Trump and the 18 others in the Georgia indictment. If any of them don’t know You as Lord and Savior may this be their time of salvation. Please give them wisdom as they prepare to share their Georgia election fraud evidence on Aug 21st. Your kingdom come Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Spot on Larry.

I personally believe God is giving the American church one last chance to get out of the pew into culture, out of the spectator stands and into the game. Everyone needs Jesus. They just don’t know it yet. It always has been and still is the churchs’ responsibility to make the introductions.

Since eternity is such a long time, there is nothing more valuable we can give somebody than introducing them to Jesus. When I ask people to put a pricetag on the value of spending eternity in heaven, I either get a deer in the headlike look or an immediate response of “Priceless”, Forget about being on the right side of history, I answer people who use that line. Worry more about being on the right side of eternity. It actually is the single most important question everybody in our country needs to get right, regardless if they are a Republican, Democrat, gay, straight, black, white, ultra rich or dirt poor, American, or immigrant, believer or athiest. Why? Because eternity is a long time. In fact, according to one scripture, 80 years on earth is like two hours in eternity. Who spends all their time, talent and treasures here on earth just for the next two hours? Nobody right? The truth though is unless a person includes eternity in their own personal timeline, that is actually exactly what they are doing. Since everyone on the planet naturally wants the very best for themselves, this message cuts through all the political and cultural nonsense.

23 years ago, after much prayer, God impressed on me with what needs to be done. He showed me multiple easy, quick and inexpensive ways for the church to go on offense and impact their communities. We have 340,000 points of light (churches) in our country. We have the good news. We, the church. actually also have seven sustainable competitive advantages the other side does not have. (Prayer is one of them) To not use all of them is like being in a gun fight, and leaving your sidearm in its holster. The outcome will not be favorable.

Like you, having spent fifty plus years as a disciple of Christ, I have learned, observed and experienced a lot. Reach back out to me if you want to learn more about what God has given that quite possibly could save our country.

I’ve read many articles like this asking for people to pray against the destruction of America, however, I have yet to see many encouraging people to begin the revival
within THEIR own home.

It’s not easy being a slave to the Lord, it’s not encoded in our Red, White and Blue blood, but it’s what’s necessary.
WE, the reader, must start within ourselves and become so dependent on the Heavenly Father that we have blinders to everything else.
We must resume the proper authority within our homes, then within our churches and then take it out to the world.
We must examine our hearts and allow the Lord to untangle our traumas and sin so we can be bold and stand before the world unshackled and unshakable.

It starts in ourselves, our homes, our communities and expands out that way by DISCIPLING and nurturing new believers.

I believe if this were the “final battle” that our GOD would tell it to the prophets. I’m not sure HE has done that! Whether it is the “final battle” or “one of many still to come”, we are to “hold the line!” We are called to “pray without ceasing” and to “never come down off of the wall” of intercession just like Nehemiah when he rebuilt the wall with a sword (weapon) in one hand and a trowel for building in the other hand! FATHER GOD let us keep speaking LIFE over our nation as there are yet many souls needing salvation out here! Let us keep our eyes on YOU for our directions and Never allow circumstances to cause us to speak about what we see because FATHER GOD YOUR WORD says we will have whatsoever we say! FATHER I say that this battle is YOURS and not ours! Remove the corruption in the white house and congress immediately in JESUS NAME! Let these people see and feel YOUR wrath for their bringing the devil into our government to overthrow it! I decree that the trap that has been set for America, the biden group of CROOKS will fall into their own trap as YOU fight this battle for us! Thank YOU FATHER for “always causing us to triumph in CHRIST JESUS YOUR SON in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Thank you for posting this timely “state of affairs “ on America
Very sobering and critically important to be praying about
God is yearning for His beloved America to come back to Him
It really is our choice as Americans for this to be our final hour or our finest hour
God help us all to turn back to YOU

It is not enough just to wake up or be a Watchman on the wall. What are we, as God’s people, doing about this? What actions are Intercessors taking on an individual basis? What, reader, are you doing to counter evil? Remember that “faith without works is dead.” Though we cannot work our way to PPHeaven, the Holy Spirit encourages us on to good works in involvement in our government. Have you recently attended City Council or school board meetings? Do you stay abreast to listen to alternatives media to discern the truth about national events?

Do you know who was behind the arson in Canada that started the fires that spread through Northeast? Do you know how Antifa derailed the train that then was remotely exploded to spread noxious chemical gaseous fumes across several Northeastern states? Do you know why so many people were burned alive in Maui?

If not, then wake up Christian! These tragedies were all caused by evil characters through Dieected Energy Weapons (DEW) via satellite technology.

Educate yourselves! Hunter Biden iand President Trump indictments are dangles to distract the citizenry from the overwhelming evil that progresses the satanic globalists’ Reset. “Out of chaos comes order.” America’s intelligence agencies create crises after crises only to swoop in to gain control over unsuspecting citizen victims. The government already claimed control over the Maui dead’s land and threatened to arrest those authorities who tried to save victims of the Maui fires.

Heavenly Father,

All governments rest upon Your Son’s shoulders and we find peace in knowing that He orchestrates the hearts of men in accordance with His will.

Show mercy on Your people by honoring our prayers for our Country, our states, and our localities. Extend Your mercy and grace upon these victims even as You move fluidly in and through the hearts of all souls in every state within the United States. Encourage us to assertive action to speak up and stand firm on the foundation of Jesus Christ every time the Holy Spirit prompts us to challenge subtle and overt evil in our lives and communities.

Thank You for yet another Watchman in this author crying out for Your people to act upon our prayers!

Through the power of Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

      Yes, facts are needed not just conspiracy theories; it is a serious business for a Christian to pass on rot and non-sense as fact.
