I Prayed have prayed
Father, do not let us live in fear. Help us to make no provision for the enemy to attack and give our nation wisdom and discernment.
Reading Time: 4 minutes

Four years ago on November 8, 2016, the Lord spoke during my prayer time. He said only four words, “It’s not over yet.” 

The day before, November 7, 2016,  America had just elected a new president, Donald J. Trump. Christians worldwide were celebrating and rightly so. So why did God speak this to me? I felt a sense of urgency, so I shared the word with an intercessor friend of mine, who then shared it with a prophet she knew. They both agreed it was a word from God and gave an interpretation. They believed the church was “prematurely celebrating.” Not that celebrating was wrong, it was a divine act of God. But in a sense, the church became lax with her intercession. He won so the threat was over…right? Wrong! We still needed to keep interceding for President Trump because the war wasn’t over. Sure enough, we saw a demand for a recount. We saw accusations of him partnering with other nations saying he stole the election, and more. But I am thankful for all of the intercessors who prayed for the president continually and for the prophets who warned us. Here we are four years later.

Whatever has happened before will happen again. Whatever has been done before will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.  (Eccl 1:9 GWT)

This verse highlights the uncanny parallels between 2016 and now. Before the election was even over Biden was being hailed as the winner. Before the votes were done being counted, he was already projected to win. Yesterday I saw countless celebrations happening as people celebrated Biden/Harris as the new president and V.P.

What I see happening now actually happened four years ago as well. It is a premature celebration, “but…It’s not over yet!”  Just as Hillary demanded a recount, President Trump is also fighting voter fraud and demanding a recount. He was accused of “stealing an election” by Russian interference. Not only was the collusion proven to be a lie, but also it seems what they accused him of, they are actually guilty of. We know that the enemy is trying to steal this election… but I remind myself of the very words the Lord spoke four years ago: “It’s not over yet!”

Yesterday, at least ten times, I heard, “It’s over, Gloria.” They were speaking over the election. I could see the hopelessness in their faces and hear fear in their voices. I replied, “No, it’s not over yet! The inauguration isn’t until January and that gives us plenty of time to do something.”  I then replied, “When did you forget that God is the God of the impossible. When it looks like there’s no hope, no way possible, that’s when He shows up.”

Brothers and sisters, this is so much bigger than the election. This is about awakening! This is about the harvest! This is about seeing the end of abortion, the shedding of innocent blood! This is about ending modern day slavery through human/ child trafficking! This is about the kingdom of God!

Now is not the time to hang your head in defeat, now is the time to lift your eyes to the hills where your help comes from. Now is the time to arise and shine, because the Lord is with you.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. (Mt 10:12)

According to Elliot’s Commentary for English Readers this verse describes two things. “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence” describes how the people flocked to John the Baptist and to Jesus to hear them preach. They looked for hope because their nation was surrounded by enemies on every side. They were attacked on all sides. They suffered violence. The second half,  “the violent take it by force” describes zeal—men and women who “grasp the kingdom of heaven-with much eagerness as men would snatch and carry off the spoil of a conquered city.”

This is not an earthly revolt with physical violence like we have seen in months past happening around us. This isn’t a planned “siege” because we didn’t get our way. This is violent faith! This is the zeal of the Lord consuming us. To the victor goes the spoils! And I only know of one Victorious One who conquered death and hell. He calls us more than conquerors and we have victory through him!

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 15:57) 

It’s not over yet, brothers and sisters!

Everyone look!
Come and see the breathtaking wonders of our God.
For he brings both ruin and revival.
He’s the one who makes conflicts end
throughout the earth,
breaking and burning every weapon of war.
Surrender your anxiety!
Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.
I am the God above all the nations,
and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth.
Here he stands!
The Commander!
The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side!
The God of Jacob fights for us!
(Psalm 46 TPT)

It’s not over. It’s only over when God Almighty says that it’s over. And nowhere have I heard or seen that their is any truth in that.
Since the media has become the #1 avenue of Satan for misinformation and disinformation for years…why would Christians even consider that??? Get quiet with God in His word and listen to what His voice and word is saying this moment. Let God show you over and over again how people in bible history that “it was over” until the hand of God interceded. Not only does God show us that He rescues those who seek Him but His mercy is astounding to nations that don’t deserve it. But the exercise of God’s love and mercy and grace brings glory to the Most High…and turns the heart of the people back to Him.
This isn’t about Donald Trump although God’s favor is on him and we witness the slow but sure changes God is doing in him personally.
This is not over because the Holy God in the midst of all this turmoil will see millions turn their hearts and souls over to Him and the name of our great God will be glorified to the ends of the earth.

We need to hold strong and be vigilant with our prayers. Also we must walk the walk! Join any future Trump rallies and/or caravans. We can no longer be the silent majority. I have done this; and while it’s not easy: action is needed. So please get out of your comfort zone if possible. Thanks

So True! This is from the Lord God Almighty!! Yesterday morning I couldn’t close the book of Obadiah. I believe so strong that this describes everything God’s children are facing today amidst confusion and turmoil. In the first chapter God declares His judgment on Edom, Judah’s descendants from Esau side. Please take time to read it and you will see that God will bring justice! Verses 6 & 7 says ‘How’: Every nook and cranny of Edom[a]
will be searched and looted.
Every treasure will be found and taken.

7 “All your allies will turn against you.
They will help to chase you from your land.
They will promise you peace
while plotting to deceive and destroy you.
Your trusted friends will set traps for you,
and you won’t even know about it.” In my footnote it says:
Pride is the sin God judges, and it will result in their fatal miscalculation. She boasts in her high and haughty position, taunting her enemies (in this case God’s chosen’). Family, this is a foretaste of the Lord’s judgment – That day!
Therefore, PRAISE ALOUD before you see the manifestation of your victory Republicans!!

Yes, fellow Warriors – the Battle Is Not Over!!!
Our Lord is Mighty in Battle. There is bnb nothing new under the Sun.
I have seen with my own experience over 10 years what election fraud is in my own county and city. Good people who confess our Lord, are blind to voting irregularitues, and ignorant of serious fraud in counting the votes.
Many are influenced by pastors to vote without personal study of our Constitution and citizen responsibility, or the integrity of an individual office holder.
Election integrity is very simple – ‘honest’ people seeking office should be vetted.
The Vote Count should be observed carefully by representatives of each party involved!!
In my county this does not happen. – Hue and cry – NO. Just silence mostly.

My hope is in the Lord! We have not lost, we are gaining in the Spiritual realm! We are growing stronger and God is in control! When this battle is over we will be a force to be reckoned with and all glory will go to God! Trump will grow closer to the Lord, and for this we will be forever grateful. I am stronger in the Lord than I have ever been and expect to continue to pray, witness, and testify for the Lord until that day when the Restrainer is taken away!

Amen! We are soldiers in the army of the Lord – we must not shrink down, but stand firm and watch our God fight for us. Nothing is impossible for Him and the world will know that He is God. Right now, all of the evil ones who did incantations on Halloween think they have won and are laughing at our God – He always protects His glorious Name!

2 Peter 3 has inspiring verses to not give up, that it’s not over yet. (NLT) 3:8-9. “But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

3:13-15. “But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with Gods righteousness. And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight. And remember, our Lords patience gives people time to be saved.”

Heavenly Father, help me see my life and these bazaar times on earth from Your eternal perspective. Rather than identify too much with what’s happening in the natural, may I think and act from the supernatural. This includes praying for the salvation of souls, including those I perceive as most “evil” and deceptive. You don’t want anyone to be destroyed but want for them to repent. I pray in agreement with You in the name of Jesus. Amen.

The LORD SAYS….The Lord says, I will RESCUE those who LOVE me. I will PROTECT those who TRUST in my NAME.
When they CALL on me I will ANSWER, I will BE with them in times of TROUBLE.
I WILL RESCUE and HONOR them. I WILL REWARD them with a LONG LIFE and GIVE them MY SALVATION.

Psalm 91 14-16

The caps are mine, I need to be reminded of those words (Especially the ones in CAPS!)
Just a reminder to everyone The Lord said this to his beloved David and He is saying this to US NOW!
Keep the faith brothers and sisters! God Bless America. Tomorrow November 11 is the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower. The pilgrims came hear to escape religious persecution (Christian persecution).
This nation was given to us by God!
