Dear Emma, as an intercessor, we pray for others. If you believe Karen’s warning was “off”, pray for her, stand in the gap. However, I will say to you, she is speaking truth about the 501 3c. It was called the “Johnson” ammendment and it muzzled the church in speaking out about politicians. It was meant to do that. It trades freedom to speak freely, for or against, for no taxes to the donations/tithes and offerings. Jesus told us to render unto Ceasar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s. I do know of some ministers who have seen the snare and hopefully stopped. It gives government a “control”, where there should be none and in the early 2000’s, they came after some big name ministries wanting a list of contributors. Lawsuit was won by mininsters and no names were given, breach of privacy for one thing and may have been given to the IRS for further persecution, as Tea Party members were targeted a little later. Were I to go into full time ministry, I would not become a 501 3c applicant. I would urge ministers every where to come out from under it and pay taxes. The church should not be a business, it should be a ministry at all times. Jesus paid taxes. Freedom curtailed in any way can become a foot in the door for further encroachment. Praying for you and our sister Karen. Love never fails…

Amen!

Praise you Lord that you have made us one body, and that you knit us together in Your love. Give to all us your great wisdom as we revere you as our King. Lord you know the great evil that has invaded our halls of power in this country, we stand with you against it. You know we are dealing with a cold civil war, let not this divisive spirit bring contention to your children who pray.

Lord i thank you for IFA and all the work they do for your Kingdom.

Lord, you tell us that Israel only worked right when Judges ruled her. We continue to petition you for Justice to return to our land, Lord. We continue to pray for Judge Kavanaugh and his confirmation. In Jesus name, Amen

I disagree with Cathy’s opinion. Being a Christian demands one stand for righteousness, it exalts a nation. The clear division of light and darkness between 2 political parties grows farther apart. While the Republican party is far from perfect, they stand as the best choice for a Christian and with hope of bringing that party into alignment with God’s Word. Many need to be removed and replaced by Conservative Christians. Far too long Christians have been silent, BIG mistake. Evil has been encroaching. The Democrats have chosen abortion to be on their platform and even voted to expel God from it at one time. They have adopted lawlessness, rebellion and witchcraft. They have many Muslims pushing Sharia law. They want to rewrite or remove our God inspired Constitution. I could go on, but I think most who are aware and keep knowledgeable know they are on a downward spiral, have been for years, I left that party in the 80’s. While I am less than 100% pleased with Republicans, they are not as far gone, need replacements badly. That is why I have asked God to remove them as He sees fit. I asked him to remove Ted Kennedy and John McCain and He did. (I doubt I was the only one praying for that.) What God has since shown me is both had a reprobate mind, that is why they died of the same cancerous brain tumor, on exactly the same day, August 25, 9 years apart. We pray against spiritual wickedness and though our weapons are not carnal, the necessity of picking up the sword may come. I am a prayer warrior willing to become a physical warrior as Israel has had to do many, many times when being invaded by those out to annihilate them. Keep exposing darkness, especially the pedophile cultic rings among “elites” in high places. “Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15. “…I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, choose life…” Deut, 30:19. Pray for discernment, some can saved, some cannot. Read Romans 1:16-32. Listen to God.

Amen! Have been praying for another Great Awakening Revival for over 30 years. The times are ripe for revival among believers in Jesus Christ and then salvation will occur in non-believers as they see changed lives in us.

I am distressed with the continuous unveiled promotion of fear and manipulation in many of your articles on political issues and candidates using the name and power of Jesus Christ and Christianity, when Christians and church leaders should be focused on Jesus and His words and His example. He came and died for our sins and has begged us to promote love of God and love of our neighbors promoting social justice and human rights for all and especially sinners, the poor and the suffering, not just the self-righteous, rich and powerful. I believe the conservative evangelical church leaders and this publication is selling its soul to a political agenda and its wrong, disrespectful and manipulative of its church members and readers. Paul has admonished us that the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control! Jesus admonished “Render to Caear the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods. Why has the evangelical church and this publication joined with the Republican Party?? It is not the mission nor vision of the evangelical church as Jesus intended to take political sides , but to encourage individuals to live daily lives that reflect their love for God and for their neighbors. I strongly encourage this publication to change its manipulative focus from politics to genuine love and living for God as Jesus so clearly admonished and lived. I believe such a focus will empower all to vote with discernment and live more effective and satisfying lives!!

Alas, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping His covenant and mercy to those who love Him, and to those who keep His commandments. We have sinned and have committed iniquity and have done wickedly and have rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and from YOUR judgments…Now therefore, O God, Hear the prayer of Your servant and his supplications…O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not defer, for Your own sake, O my God. For Your city and Your people are called by Your name. Dan 9:4-5, 17, 19

I claim this ancient intercession for here and now, in USA- in the mighty name of Jesus
