I Prayed have prayed
Lord we pray for a holy passion to burn in us for You alone! You are our refuge and our strength in times of trouble. Great are You Lord!

While we cannot dismiss what is going on politically, I am stepping in to pray for the Church today.  Because of this political climate – the angst, the despair, the confusion, the fighting and name-calling in this world and even amongst Christians, the fear of what is to come with this nation – the Church is ripe for an unprecedented awakening!

I think back to the beginning of this whole pandemic before things ever escalated politically. Many of us saw this as an opportunity for the Church to redefine itself and to slough off anything that didn’t belong in order to truly realign with HIM and His purposes.

Now we sit here awaiting the next few days to play out, wondering what is going to happen. Many are consumed by fear and despair while others are holding fast to the God of miracles – believing He will do what only He can do – a miracle of landslide proportions, a true parting of the sea. We are sitting squarely in the midst of “impossible” and “inevitable” and yet…we serve the God who conquered death!  Death could not hold Him down; He defeated the grave!

I don’t dream very often, but I do wake up almost every morning with some worship song running through my head. The songs are almost always different, but this week I have woken up each morning with the same song running through my mind.

The weapon may be formed
But it won’t prosper
When the darkness falls it won’t prevail
‘Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph
My God will never fail
Oh, My God will never fail

I’m gonna see a victory
I’m gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to you Lord
I’m gonna see a victory
I’m gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to you Lord

There’s power in the mighty name of Jesus
Every war he wages He will win
I’m not backing down from any giant
‘Cause, I know how this story ends
Yes, I know how this story ends

I’m gonna see a victory
I’m gonna see a victory

See a Victory Elevation Worship

I don’t know about you, but this has brought me great encouragement and peace each morning. I don’t know how these next days will play out – none of us truly do. Many of us anticipated great victory on January 6, only to find their hopes all dashed. But our God is still on the throne and He is in the miracle making business!

The Emmaus Road

I imagine many of our responses were like those disciples walking on the Emmaus Road with Jesus on the day of His resurrection.

Two of the disciples were walking and talking about the recent events when Jesus came alongside of them inviting Himself into the conversation. They were so blinded by their own pain and perception of what had happened that they didn’t recognize Him. Jesus asked about what current events they were speaking of:

“The things about Jesus, the Man from Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a mighty prophet of God who performed miracles and wonders. His words were powerful and he had great favor with God and the people. But three days ago the high priest and the rulers of the people sentenced him to death and had him crucified. We all hoped that he was the one who would redeem and rescue Israel. Early this morning, some of the women informed us of something amazing. They said they went to the tomb and found it empty. They claimed two angels appeared and told them that Jesus is now alive. Some of us went to see for ourselves and found the tomb exactly like the women said. But no one has seen him.”

Jesus said to them, “Why are you so thick-headed? Why do you find it so hard to believe every word the prophets have spoken? Wasn’t it necessary for Christ, the Messiah, to experience all these sufferings and then afterward to enter into his glory?”

Then he carefully unveiled to them the revelation of himself throughout the Scripture. He started from the beginning and explained the writings of Moses and all the prophets, showing how they wrote of him and revealed the truth about himself. (Lk 24:19-27 TPT)

Even with all of this, it wasn’t until later that their eyes were opened.

Joining them at the table for supper, he took bread and blessed it and broke it, then gave it to them. All at once their eyes were opened and they realized it was Jesus! Then suddenly, in a flash, Jesus vanished from before their eyes!

Stunned, they looked at each other and said, “Why didn’t we recognize it was him? Didn’t our hearts burn with the flames of holy passion while we walked beside him? He unveiled for us such profound revelation from the Scriptures!”

They left at once and hurried back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples. When they found the Eleven and the other disciples all together, they overheard them saying, “It’s really true! The Lord has risen from the dead. He even appeared to Peter!” Then the two disciples told the others what had happened to them on the road to Emmaus and how Jesus had unveiled himself as he broke bread with them. (Lk 24:30-35 TPT)

There are many prophets still left standing; many still holding fast to the dreams and visions the Lord has revealed to them regarding this time. But many in the Church are floundering today – anxious and fearful of the days ahead. This day and time is not for the faint of heart. No matter how these last days play out, the days ahead are still going to be hard. I believe there will be a season of transition, of deep soul-searching, and a wrestling for all we believe to be true (I believe this no matter what side of the aisle you stand on).

“We all hoped that he was the one…”  Many of us have wanted to turn this election onto one man/woman or entity – and yet that is not at all how it has played out. The entire life of Jesus is a reminder that God doesn’t play by “our rules”. He is not confined by our understanding or our set of beliefs or even our idea of how things should play out. As always, He is the God who exists outside of time and sees the big picture – He knows what is BEST for His Church, for His people, and for this nation.  He works all things for the good of those who love Him. And I believe He has in mind for His Bride to be awakened. For a time, it may not be an increase of numbers and souls saved – but a time for a strengthening, equipping, solidifying, and emboldening that we might truly become a Church on fire!

“Why do you find it so hard to believe every word the prophets have spoken?  Wasn’t it necessary for…?”   God has equipped some to be prophets…in order to fully equip and perfect His people…so that the body of Christ may be built up (Eph 4:11-12).  I am taking this out of context I know, as Jesus was referring to the prophecies that were written in reference to Him. But keeping in mind that He has allowed for modern day prophets, there is truth in much of the many prophetic voices out there. In the months preceding the election, many of those voices were multiplying, as well as going back to prophecies written and spoken about many years prior.

Some of those voices have since offered apologies for getting it wrong. And some of those same prophets have been maligned by fellow believers for giving up hope or not having enough faith. (See Gloria Ruble’s A Timely Word About … Words for an excellent response to this.)

[Side note, because I have to say it – we are BETTER than that in the body of Christ! We have been saved by the blood of Jesus, set free from the bondage of darkness and delivered into His glorious light! And yet NONE of us is perfect this side of heaven! And while we have been angry that we have lost the right “to speak” during this time in our nation, many being censored and “cancelled” – we CANNOT turn against our brothers and sisters in Christ! We lose our credibility when we act just like the world – hateful, vengeful and full of judgement. Grace, humility and love – love covers a multitude of sins. Let’s be those people!]

The gift of the prophet is to help build up the body. With the last voices that are holding on – let’s choose to be bolstered by their courage to stand steadfast – lone rangers going against the current of many. Let it strengthen our faith in the God of miracles, the God of angel armies, the God whose words never return void!

Pray for the prophets. Pray for your own ears to hear the voice of your shepherd! His voice is the ONE that matters above all the rest! And as HE leads you, only from there proceed.

“Why didn’t we recognize it was him?  Didn’t our hearts burn with the flames of holy passion while we walked beside him?  He unveiled for us such profound revelation from the Scriptures!”  I feel like we are living in a time where the scripture is coming alive more than ever before. Almost any story or passage that I read seems to speak life and hope to our current situation. This makes sense when you consider that the Word is living and active!

A Great Awakening

Do you recognize Him in the midst of this storm? He is walking in our midst. He is speaking into our ears.  He is prompting us and leading us. He is reinvigorating His bride, even in the now! Boldness in our witness, passion in our walk and in our sharing, truth communicated unapologetically…He is equipping us for a Great Awakening!

Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (Is 43:19 AMPC)

Nate Johnston gave a powerful word for 2021. The whole of it is worth reading, but to close this I want to leave you with his closing word:

I PROPHESY THAT THIS YEAR YOU WOULD BE BOLD, UNCOMPROMISED, UNDIGNIFIED, & UNAPOLOGETIC OF YOUR PURSUIT OF JESUS, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, HIS WILL, & HIS WAYS SO THAT THE LUKEWARM GET HOT, THE FIRELESS GET BACK THEIR FIRE, & THE NATIONS ENCOUNTER HIM

(Nate Johnston, 2021 – The Rise of the Counter-Culture Army, the Bared-Teeth Bride & The Fiery Hot Remnant)

I believe the Lord is up to something we cannot even begin to imagine. For sure, this storm needs a direct word from our Savior. Do you perceive His presence? Do you recognize His hand? I speak peace to your weary hearts. Stand firm. HE is with us!

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. (Ps 46:1-3)

Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen. (1 Pt 4:8-11 AMP)

We are standing on the edge, ready to behold His Glory!

Father in the name of Jesus i ask that you would visit your church, the cold, the lukewarm, and also the almost convinced who have heard the gospel but have not made a covenant with you yet. Father remind each one that your mercies are new every morning, visit each one and reveal the root reasons to them as to why they are in the state they are in whether it be confused, or weary, heavy hearted, rebellious, dry, and help them have a true revelation of all Christ has already done for us and a firm understanding of the yoke easy burden light life Jesus spoke of, provide hope to the hopeless,to those consumed with providing for families due to this lingering pandemic somehow come through fir them with the groceries or necessities they need, help the homeless find shelter and a plan to get in their feet, father many are hurting, many are distracted on foolishness, Lord bring conviction, bring peace to those on guilt trips due to stressful relationships that have resulted in lives full of strife, show them the path to lasting peace in those relationships, convict and also encourage Father, many have not know the yoke easy burden light life or the life of fullness of joy, or peace due to lack of proper discipleship false teachers false doctrines, lack of self discipline to read your word, and sadly some have believed in a false gospel of licentiousness for the same reason. False perceptions of you and misunderstanding of grace and works. Father it’s a lofty prayer but touch each and every believer in America this week And unstick those who have become stuck, reach them in their prayer time or quicken your word, remind them of a verse they need or a special time of of fellowship with you or a time of divine intervention when you came through speak any way you can in the manner that will reach them deroest and best through your word, prayer, in dreams, visions, still small voice, true prophetic, your presence, and give the revelatiin each one needs to pick up their cross and truly follow you, and whisper thanks and praise to you gor all Jesus has already done. thank you. Satisfy each soul with exactly what they need from you to become move forward infull obedience, true faith and true hope and true love toward you and their fellow man. Thank you Jeremiah 31:25 For I will [fully] satisfy the weary soul, and I will replenish every languishing and sorrowful person.

Thank you Jesus!

“…First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:5. [What are my planks? Here’s one that even though I recognized it years ago I have only lately repented and began to follow.] “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy…” Exodus 20:8; “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3.
“For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one [b]jot or one [c]tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:18-19. [Perhaps our prayers will be heard if we first obey. That would be a great awakening]

Dear Lord, I continue to hope and pray for a miracle in the days left, but whatever happens I know Your will shall be done. I continue to pray that the deceptions shall be revealed and the wicked scattered by Your light. Protect this nation Lord, and guard us against the dark forces that seek to take this nation across the line and place it on the side of the deceiver. Let us be a thorn in their side Lord, and may you bless this nation and hold it clearly on Your side. In Jesus precious name I pray, O Lord, Amen.

The living Word of God:

Mark 3:25 KJV, 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Matthew 18:18-19 KJV, 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as done for them of my Father which is in Heaven.

Acts 4:32a KJV, 32a And the multitude of them that believed were of one “heart” and of one “soul”

Ephesians 4:11-14 KJV, 11 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Matthew 16:18 KJV, 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Colossians 1:24 KJV, 24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body’s sake, which is the church:

Ephesians 1:22-23 KJV, 22 And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 5:21-32 KJV, 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; 26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, 27 That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. THEREFORE, THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST (A FEMALE), BUT IT IS THE BODY OF CHRIST (MALE), AND JESUS IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.

1 Corinthians 3:4-8 KJV, 4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Prayer:

O Lord, Your church, the Body of Christ, is clearly divided this day and we pray that these “divisions” (demon, unclean spirit), spirit of division, be canceled (bound up) in the powerful name of Jesus. And we loosen the unity of the faith, in powerful name of Jesus. Amen. Lord we have a myriad of denominations, church leaders, and members who appear to be on opposite sides of the mighty spiritual war. Lord, the “church” on earth by its denominational-isms has divided the body of Christ, in the name of denominational-isms and various church leaders. We need to return to Acts 4:32a KJV, that the body of Christ be of one heart and of one soul. Lord, Your Word says in Ephesians 4:11-14 that You gave us gifts for the perfecting of the saints … till we all come in unity of the faith. Lord, let us not be confused (for God is not the author of confusion, 1 Corinthians 14:33), the church (“ekklesia”) is NOT the “bride” of Christ, but is the “Body of Christ”. Let us not be confused (as what our governments are attempting to reset what God created, male and female), God created He them male and female and not “its”. But know the “church” is a “he” and the “body of Christ” is also a “he”. And we, the Body of Christ, are called to be in the unity of the faith. And Lord, we pray Your wisdom, understanding and discernment unto the Body of Christ (5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6a But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering … James 1:5-6a KJV). Amen.

The Lord says:

“These people come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;
the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”
Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
“Who sees us? Who will know?”
You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,
“You did not make me”?
Can the pot say to the potter,
“You know nothing”?

Father, I pray we would honor You with undivided hearts and I ask that You draw us into worship as never before. Astound us with Your wisdom and wonder and for those who “work in the darkness,” I pray revelation and truth. May they tremble before You. Please Father, “fulfill Your purpose for us…do not abandon the works of Your Hands.” I love you Father, I love you Jesus, I love you Holy Spirit.

The 2 disciples were discouraged because they saw the outcome in human terms. Similar as Peter saying – Lord this will never happen to you. Again human, earthly terms. Jesus rebukes as such. God was and is NOT finished with His church. It is finished eternally, but has not yet been fully completed in our earthly realm before our eyes. Therefore we MUST keep seeking the eternal Kingdom, things above, which are unseen (eternal) not the things of the earth (seen). Keep looking up, your redemption is at hand. Be bold church. Seek Him first. Honor your Lord. Eternity is a long time.
The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that will be revealed within us.
Rom. 8:18

I believe that President Trump will serve this country another 4yrs, based on this…I’ve read it in Scripture! It’s all over the Old Testament, every time God cleared out a government or a people group, He handed the land over to HIS people! Millions of Christians came together in our nation and from around the World to pray for Repentance and Revival this past September at The Return and I know God heard us, the Holy Spirit heard the groaning of our hearts, for ourselves and for our nation.
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
We are living in such an awesome time. This is not about President Trump, this is not about Joe Biden, this is about Spiritual warfare!
“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” Habakkuk 1:5…
The American Church has lacked faith in the God that they profess for a long time…Scripture and the history books are filled with the impossible that only God can do…What if that is where we are right now, the impossible that only God can pull off and the leaders of the American Church are going to miss it because of their lack of faith…When God’s hand starts to move over our country next week are you going to watching it from the safety of the sheepfold, or are you going to be running from the goat barn praying that the gate is still open……
So true followers of Christ, if you ever believed for one moment that God would use President Trump to show His judgment and love to His people (cause He’s got to use someone) go to the Lord in prayer, filter it through the Scriptures and if you find peace, share your faith of God’s hand in this present time to others, focus on Jesus and step out of the boat…If you do, then you will be blessed with the ability to truly witness for Christ when others see the things you have spoke of…that doesn’t make us prophets, it makes us Heralders!

In the late 80’s I was a new Christian and GOD told me I was to be a teacher. I was in my 30’s, divorced with 2 small children and had a great job in business that I liked, but I could not have afforded to go to college. I quit my job of 21 years and moved closer to my family so I would have babysitters that I could trust with my children. I worked another good job waiting for the day that GOD would send me to school. I never doubted that I would become a teacher! 2 years later, I was fired from my job for no good reason. I was so excited that the CEO that fired me thought I was crazy, but I knew GOD was working in my firing! 3 weeks later I began college paying only $9 out of my pocket for my first semester! I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education 4 years later and began teaching! 2 years later I heard GOD say go back and get a Master’s degree. I knew nothing about a Master’s degree or how to get it. I called my college and they told me who to call. I made an appointment and as I sat down and said “I am here to get a Master’s degree in Education but I know nothing about it.” The lady I was talking to clapped her hands and said “oh good! We will pay your tuition and if you want to work as a Graduate Assistant, we will pay you!” A year and a half later I had a Master of Education degree in Curriculum and Teacher Leadership! I said all of this to remind us that we walk by faith, not by sight! What GOD says, HE is able to perform! I have been a teacher in a public school for 23 years! I have led a student to the LORD, prayed with both students and colleagues, and taught the truth about the history of America! We are to believe GOD’S Prophets and prosper! Just as I believed GOD for my calling, I believe HIM for my country! Hold onto GOD saints and watch HIM bring what HE said to pass! Remember HIS ways and thoughts aren’t ours, but way higher than us! Victory is already ours though! Like the widow said to Elisha when her son had died and she found Elisha and when his servant asked her what was wrong, she answered, “It IS WELL!” 2 Kings 4:26. That is our answer saints, “It IS WELL!” The LORD Bless thee and Keep thee, the LORD make HIS Face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee, the LORD lift up HIS Countenance upon thee and give thee peace! Numbers 6:24-26.

Thank you, wise words always welcome! The shock to me is our Christian response to other Christians! I have felt the Lord calling for reconciliation and forgiveness for each other in our churches. The Bible, itself says we are to be made up in our own mind what we think. I am talking about sincere believers. Instead, there is a failure to even try to reconcile. The church and the world, needs a revival. Whether one comes or not is up to us, we must do our part. God Himself said our actions make a difference. The enemies primary targets are those in power. He will do or oppress us in any way he thinks will work. We must be diligent. We must look for peace, while not lowering our standards. This will be hard, but going forward, this isn’t all about us! We must not personalize any of the fiery darts coming our way. Open our ears Lord, we want to hear you. Open our eyes Lord, we want to see you. Open our mouths Lord, so we can bless You with wise words (I believe you are pleased when we reflect back a vision that looks like You Lord). At this time, we need wisdom and we need a strong leader that will lead us with integrity honesty, courage, a willingness to die for you if he/she has to. Please speak to our leaders Lord! Stop your children from fighting over petty things. We should all agree on the apostolic creed and after that GRACE!! Those who aren’t getting agree, but sit back and look on those who do quarrel, you are also responsible. The church must arise! The answer to everything going on at this time is Jesus, with His full army doing our jobs for the salvation of souls and our country. No one should be disrespected. Violence is NOT our manner of influencing the world. We all need the fruit of the Spirit. The only way to get it, is to be saved then realize, God does the work! We cannot accomplish any fruit on our own. The goal of our faith is love, which comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. We can’t make ourselves get the fruit (we can fake it for awhile), surrender is the first step. Trust God and he will do the good work! Let’s show the world Jesus, by our actions and our live for one another. There is so much more I could say.
Blessings to you, who are called to do God’s work!

O how comforting it is to come to this site when discouraged and join others in their prayers for our nation and for believers as we receive new life for our spirits to come to the rallying cry for God to lead us on. God, I thank you for IFA and all the many years they have persevered in interceding for our nation and its leaders. Please be with this organization and its leaders for leading us in this charge to pray. May all the prayers being lifted up around the world give rise to a new era of holy boldness which will deflect all the darts being thrown at its citizens. May a world brotherhood of believers increase exponentially in numbers so great that the enemy trembles and falls on their on strategies, deceits, lies and agendas – like dominoes! Then we will know that You O Lord have spoken and defeated their wickedness and evil ways! Come quickly Lord with your power and authority so Your will and Your Glory is seen by all! Amen.

Heavenly Father, I believe You will shed light on the darkness and justice will be served! I pray for every person on this planet right now. I pray for those who know You to cling to Your words and have hearts for Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I pray for those that do not know You..yet.. that the scales fall from their eyes and they find redemption and a well rooted relationship with You. Father, there are some who are lukewarm. They have known You but have lost a passion for a well rooted relationship with You. I pray You send the Holy Spirit to stoke the embers and that they will recommit (wholly) themselves to You. Help all Your children to stand steadfast in the face of any adversities today, tomorrow, and until we join You in the everlasting.

This is such an encouraging website! Had my online radio on while reading comments, & heard “Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness” and the line about even when we don’t see or feel it, God is Working!!! God has been that to me in this season. Indeed I am so grateful to God for making music to be so uplifting to our souls as we praise HIM!! I Loved the mention of “I’m gonna see a victory” song by Elevation Worship. Isn’t Christian Music so good to keep us looking up to HIM? These Christian Artists are amazing and not watching mainstream media really helps! CBN news, Lance Wallnau, Mario Murillo and Sid Roth help to keep me focused correctly!

As we have been exercising our FAITH over this battle for America’s soul, let’s not forget to add PATIENCE to the mix. “Cast NOT away therefore your confidence, which has GREAT recompense of reward. For you have need of patience,that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will NOT tarry.”(Heb. 10: 35-37)
The Message Bible says it in street language…. “It’s STILL a sure thing! But you need to stick it out, staying with God’s plan so you’ll be there for the promised completion”…..Heb. 10:35-36 Message Bible.
What a beautiful exhortation! ……P.S. An abbreviated quote from Winston Churchill: “ Never give in. Never give in. Never yield to force. NEVER yield to the APPARENTLY overwhelming might of the enemy.” Amen!

Encouraged and staying vigilant, but most important to remember and claim that no weapon formed against us can prosper. Sometimes that doesn’t look like we expect, but wolves in sheep’s clothing are
prowling around seeing who they might devour, don’t be fouled, be aware of the guidelines that are being used like laws to frighten an intimidate. We are not to be sheep going willingly to the slaughter,
we are to be soldiers in the army of Jesus Christ, as we are to occupy before he returns Luke 19:13 ESV
Put on your armor and judge each word and whether it is true or a snare and a pit to take you off the
path that follows and perseveres to keep the Word of the Lord as your guide.

Mario Murillo has been conducting tent meetings in Bakersfield, California, this week and hundreds have received Christ each evening. A drug dealer threw down pounds of drugs he was carrying and stomped on them. Souls are being saved and people are being healed and delivered.
God is at work. Robin D. Bullock has two prophecies on Elijah Streams. I came from a church background which did not teach spiritual gifts, but soon after I was spiritually born again (nearly 47 years ago) God gradually began teaching me.
It is important to spend time in God’s Presence and ask for discernment on who to believe.

What a powerful word. Got done reading it and said my favorite word of late WOW Sent this to many of my friends. This word was so balanced , full of scripture and reminded all of us. As our pastor quite a while back before covid began at the end of the book on Nehemiah .The wall was complete and the enemy did not have the final say. His last statement…Whose in charge….When this all first began He gave me a picture of a chess board and I felt He was saying He was moving the pieces. Then I saw on e-mails 3 more chessboards. The very last one was a chessboard with one piece remaining …The King…the words next to it were CHECKMATE….Again thank you so much for that “so balanced” word. Ephesians 3:18-21 most sincerely, Linda

We hearing amazing reports we are hearing from beyond our borders – harvest where the Word has never been, Pastors who are begging to be trained, chains being cut off the hearts of people who were in serious demonic service. Hundreds are being saved weekly.
THIS IS THE TIME of REDEMPTION – Arise and follow Christ. These are not times to look behind you these are times to look forward to the glory of the victorious Savior – Our Lord Jesus Christ.

“but those who trust in the LORD will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

“Precious Lord help us trust you. Let each of us put on our spiritual armor including a good pair of running shoes and share the gospel to the lost and discouraged. Revive us Oh Lord with a courage and conviction that is not our own.”

I believe we are about to see God act and work miracles! I want to thank IFA for all the love and support you give us. I also want to thank all the Intercessors who have stayed in the battle and fasted and prayed until you can’t remember the last time you didn’t fast. I just believe God is pleased and says, “well done thou good and faithful servant” Thank you for the sacrifice of your time, strength and energy. And thank you for all the powerful and effective prayers, that I pray as well. We’re about to see God break through in glory!

Love, Grace and Peace,
from our ABBA FATHER, in CHRIST JESUS our LORD’s Name,

As in the BOOK of Esther, Hamon is not the one that the King desires to honor. It was Mordecai.

Neither is Mr. Biden the one WHO The KING of GLORY, The LORD STRONG and MIGHTY, The LORD MIGHTY In BATTLE desires to honor.

The parade is for the one the KING Of Glory will Honor before the world, even President Donald J Trump.

Yes, Hamon is hung on the 10 feet gallow that he had erected for Mordecai to be hung on.
Hamon is hung, on his own Gallows! Remember?

Yes, I have been having the same song in my spirit: “I’m going to See YOUR VICTORY
for the Battle belongs to YOU LORD…” in my spirit. Psalm 32:7, let’s us know that the LORD will compass us about with Songs of Deliverance,
Hallelujah x 7!

As with Jehoshaphat, Joshua, Moses, Elijah, Peter (in Prison) and with Paul, We will see and experience our very own, FATHER GOD That: Answers By FIRE,
Parts The Red Sea, Send Ambushments, Diresion, and Confounds the tongues of the wicked’s Divine Intervention to be told to the next generations. They will know that HE is the Same, Yesterday, Today and Forever on the side of the Righteous.

The WORD, that the LORD Declares is:
“Those who plant seeds of injustice will harvest Disaster and their Reign of Terror Will End.(NLT) Proverbs 22:8

Also, “(Cast out)
Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;
quarrels and insults are ended.”
(Proverbs 22:10)
So, let’s do this in the Power and Authority of the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!

HE that sitteth in the Heavens laughs. For HE sees the end at the beginning.

All the wicked plans are thwarted!

“Though hand joined in hand the wicked will not go unpunished.”

GOD is on the side, of the Righteous and HIS Ears are open to their Cry. The face of the LORD, is against them that do evil, to cut off the very remembrance of them from the earth; (I pray they will repent and accept JESUS as LORD).

These are some of The WORD, that I have been getting from HOLY SPIRIT.

“Fear not for I am with you (and the President)
be not dismayed (discouraged) for I AM your GOD. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with MY OWN RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

In this, United States of America,
Mercy and Truth have met together; Righteousness and Peace hath Kissed each other.

This morning I got an additional revelation.
On our U.S.A. Money we say “In GOD We Trust. Do keep holding on to YOUR Trust in HIM, WHO helped our Nation yesterday, and today HE will do the same, how long will this continue?
Forever Praise HIS Name!

I better stop now, getting long huh? Lol.
Yes, let’s Laugh and Rejoice with JESUS by HOLY SPIRIT’s Orchestration.

The wicked, had paid, bribed, and intimidated many with money and fear. But, their money and tactics perish with them. (Unless they repent of their evil, that GOD will grant them mercy).

Example: You may have heard from an Evangelist that was at the “Stop the Steal Rally,”
being told by an Antifa guy that, He was Antifa and they are paid $38.00 an hour to do, what they were hire to do. Some, disguising themseles as President Trump Supporters at the Stop the Steal Rally in order, to create deception, chaos, destruction, etc..

But Vengeance is the LORD’S. HE will Repay. Using whom and what HE Chooses.

HIS Glory will be revealed in this, our
United States of America.
Hallelujah x 7!

Much Love, Peace, Strength, Blessings and Encouragement to you (and me), while it is called today.

Loretta

    Tammy, you are like so many of us. We are like sheep and Jesus is our shepherd. As sheep, we struggle in our weakness and sometimes wander off. But, He rejoices to come after us and rescue us. Remember the promise of Romans 8:1 – There is therefore now no condemnation for those that are in Christ the Lord. Or, 1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us of ALL unrighteousness. And, even as Paul himself had to be reminded, Philippians 3:13-14 …but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Go forward in faith knowing that as we draw unto Him, God will draw Himself unto us.

        Tammy, I apologize in advance that this is such a long answer (in 2 parts), but you’ve been on my heart all day since I first read your comments.
        In the Name of Jesus, we bind every hindering spirit and every spirit of condemnation satan is sending to attack Tammy. We loose the Lord’s the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit in her life and her family’s lives; we send heavenly ministering angels to heal and comfort her, we send the Lord’s messenger angels to give her a fresh revelation of her Abba Father, and we bind any devilish spirits that would try to stop or delay God’s angels.
        Consume every lie of the devil that is in her thoughts and that is manipulating her feelings with Your Holy passion and agape Love, Jesus! Hold Tammy close in Your arms, Lord: “His left hand cradles my head while his right hand holds me close. I am at rest in this love.” – Song of Solomon 2:6
        Tammy, you can not live by what you want, what you think, or what you feel; you have to stand solely on the Word of God (check out Joyce Meyer’s “Nine Attitudes That Keep You Happy” at https://joycemeyer.org/en/shop/Teachings%3djoycemeyer_usa-teachingpackages/%3d014168
        You can “Make This Your Best Year Ever (source unknown):
        For years I’d been trying to earn the praise of my earthly father … and I believed I had to perform to deserve God’s love and blessings too. In the middle of a bad year, I woke up one morning and I was just worn out. I said to the Lord; “I can’t peddle any harder. I’m done, and I will accept whatever consequences come along.” To my surprise, as soon as I was finished uttering those words, the Lord spoke this to my heart, “If you will rest in My Love, I will take care of you – TREAT ME LIKE I’M THE PERFECT FATHER, AND JUST SEE IF YOU CAN PROVE ME WRONG!” At that moment I told the Lord I was going to trust Him as my perfect Father … and everything changed. My focus was no longer on my performance. It was on God’s love and presence. In the process, He revealed Himself to me in incredible ways. Today I know God as my loving, gracious, present, faithful Father. And I trust Him to lead me daily. That is what turns a bad year into a good year. As you enter into this new year, I encourage you to relate to God as though He is your perfect Father. And in the process, you will experience Him in new ways and have the best year of your life!”
        Tammy, you can be delivered from every attack of the devil! See Derek Prince’s download of how he experienced deliverance at https://staging.ifapray.org/blog/the-helmet-of-hope/ as well as the following devo that applies to smoking, and any other unhealthy habit: “Right Believing Produces Right Living:
        “Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor;and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” – Luke 19:8
        Zacchaeus was a tax collector. He was despised because he was a deceitful man, cheating people of their money and resorting to false accusations to get what he wanted. One day, Jesus visited him. The Bible makes no mention of Jesus rebuking him for his dishonest lifestyle the whole time they were together. Instead, Jesus showed him grace and honor by spending time with him. Before long, Zacchaeus stood up and declared to Jesus that he would restore fourfold to anyone he had taken from illegally, and would even give half of his goods to the poor. A moment with Jesus completely changed Zacchaeus’ heart. A moment with grace in person—without accusations, condemnation or judgment—caused such an inward transformation that in a short time, Zacchaeus was doing outwardly what was right and in a measure no man would have expected of him! Many people want to live right. Their concern with right living makes them focus on themselves and the things they struggle with. But it is right believing that produces right living. If you are trying to break free from an addiction that has bound you for many years, believe that Jesus loves you so much that at the cross, He paid the price for you to be completely free from any addiction. Believe that by His stripes you are healed and delivered. One member in our church had a smoking addiction. But each time he lit up a cigarette, he would believe that God was not judging or condemning him, and that he was still the righteousness of God in Christ. One day, he woke up impressed by the Spirit that that day would mark the start of a smoke-free life. Expecting to be assaulted by the usual cravings to smoke, he prayed this throughout the day: “Thank You, Jesus, for by Your stripes I am healed.” Before he knew it, the day passed without him lighting up or suffering any withdrawal pangs! And since then, he has been totally free of this addiction. Today, if you want to experience right living, find out what Christ has done for you and what you have in Him—and believe it!” -from Joseph Prince
        And another applicable devo: “Don’t waste your time being mad at others. Be about the business of healing yourself! The devil couldn’t take you out, so he is trying to wear you out. Don’t you dare get weary- Hold on, the tide is about to turn in your favor! These roadblocks in your life are about to be broken down by God. He’s going to take you new places and reach new heights. Let him direct your path and let His plan unfold. Satan knows your name but calls you by your sin (failure, no-good, liar, unforgiving); but God knows all your sins, past present and future, and calls you by your name – BELOVED CHILD! He’s a good, good Abba Father! You can worry, or you can trust God. Trusting in God will change everything- worrying will only make things worse. Whatever is important to you, make God more important than THAT. When we try to figure out everything on our own it is exhausting. We aren’t meant to try to figure everything out, we are meant to trust God! God has never lost a battle, and He’s not going to start with yours! Don’t defeat yourself. Stop telling yourself what you can’t be or what you can’t do. Stop turning to people when God is your source- The Lord will cause you to rise up out of the ashes and be restored with no shame! Forgive anyone who has hurt you and leave unresolved circumstances in God’s hands- He’s got your back! You can suffer the pain of change, or you can suffer the pain of staying stuck where you are…This IS your season of growth! One thing I love about God is, He will bring you out of situations that you got yourself into, and STILL won’t hold it against you. Your destiny is going to outdo your history! Now pray: ‘Holy Spirit, help me not get caught up in trying to change external things when you are asking me to focus on healing and developing my heart. I invite you to work on my inner life. God, I don’t want to keep score any more and live with unforgiveness in my heart. I release it to you and ask you to help me walk in your Love, which “keeps no account of evil done to it”.’ -from Real Talk Kim …contd….

        Ana
        January 17, 2021

        part 2 …cont’nd…
        Tammy, the devil is the one who stirs up thoughts and feelings of condemnation, failure and throws your past in your face, but the conviction of the Holy Spirit is gentle, loving, hopeful, and merciful (Romans 2:4)- and invites you to let Him come in to your life to do all the work to change your bad habits. You just CHOOSE to apply the Word of God to every situation, and resist all the junk the devil throws at you- resist and he must flee!(James 4:7). You already know how to do this- we have all had those mornings where we wake up and hit the snooze over and over, because we don’t FEEL like getting up; we WANT to sleep. But, we know that we must get up and go to work so we can keep our job; so despite how we feel and what we want, we get up and go to work. Standing on God’s Word works the same way -despite what thoughts the devils trying to whisper in your ear, you rebuke him and replace those thoughts with the Word of God. When the devil tells you you’re a failure, you tell him God’s Word says you are the head and not the tail (Deut 27:13)!
        More on deliverance: “Please remember that a letter is never delivered when it leaves your hand, it’s only delivered when it shows up where it’s supposed to be. God wants to not only bring you out, but take you all the way in! Some of you have come out but you’ve not yet entered- you’ve come out of sickness, but you’re not living in health; you’ve come out of bondage but you’re not living in freedom; you’ve come out of poverty, but you’re not living in prosperity. Allow these words from God’s Word to bind up the hindering forces that are keeping you from your inheritance. And remember, as I have always shared with you- freedom is never granted voluntarily by the oppressor- it must be DEMANDED by the oppressed!! It’s not your effort that will produce your freedom, but God’s. So, receive these words into your life now: Psalm 34:17 declares “the righteous cry, and the Lord heareth and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” …God intends for NOTHING to bind you, NOTHING to hinder you, nothing to block you, nothing to stop you- you SHALL be delivered from ALL your troubles! Psalm 34:19 declares, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous…” You didn’t know how scriptural you were, did you?! You didn’t know that you are actually being scriptural when you’re bombarded or when you’re buffeted. Jesus said that “in this world, you will have tribulation, you’ll have persecution” -but he didn’t leave us there, he said “but remember, FAITH overcomes the world!” Your faith right now is being expressed as you receive these words into your life. So it’s all right! You can square your shoulders, & you can declare “many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Psalm 25:20 declares, “O keep my soul and deliver me; let me not be ashamed for I put my trust in thee.” Psalm 144:7 declares, “send thy hand from above…” Oh, I pray that for you right now! I pray that God will extend His mighty right arm of power over the sapphire sill of heaven’s gate; that He will lay His nail-pierced hand into your situation right now from above, and deliver you; that He will send His hand from above. He’s doing it -don’t you sense it, even now?! He’s placing that hand upon you and according to Psalm 144:7, that hand, that anointing, is ridding you and delivering you out of great and overflowing waters, from the hand of strange children! Joel 2:32 says, “and it shall come to pass…”…do you hear that in your spirit? What’s the devil going to do with folks that KNOW “it shall come to pass”?!! You say, ‘but pastor, I don’t have it right now, it’s not manifesting right now’ -friend, just square your shoulders and receive this word from God: “IT SHALL COME TO PASS that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord SHALL be delivered!!!”
        Jeremiah 15:21: “and I WILL deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible…” Some of you are going through a lawsuit right now, or perhaps a divorce. please hear this, please hear that word- God WILL redeem you out of the hand of the terrible! Psalm 18:19: “He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.” Please understand, you haven’t done anything to separate yourself from the love of God, and his power to deliver you! Psalm 119:153: “Consider my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget thy law.” Proverbs 11:21: “Though hand join in hand…” you know, there are those that are conspiring against you; but hear what God’s Word says: “the wicked shall not be unpunished, but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered!” 2nd Corinthians 1:10: “…who delivered us from so great a death and doth delivered, in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us!” If He ever delivered you before (and I know He has) He will deliver you now! Colossians 1:13: “…who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and have translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son…” Friend, you are not going to the Kingdom of heaven, you’re LIVING in the Kingdom of God even now! Exodus 15:6 declares “The right hand of the Lord is become glorious in power; the right hand of the Lord hath dashed in pieces the enemy.” It’s not GOING to happen, it’s happening NOW as this Word comes into your life. Psalm 91:3: “Surely…” Surely [without doubt, without reservation, without exception] SURELY He shall deliver YOU from the snare of the fowler and from the noisesome pestilence…” Receive your deliverance in the Lord NOW, from the word of the Living God!! -from Rod Parsley “Speak the Word” devo.

    Tammy, I pray that you will receive and know, without a doubt, the incredible forgiveness and love Jesus has for you! There is NOTHING that will separate us from the love of God once we have embraced Jesus! Cry out to Him and know He hears you and sees your heart and He will answer you! Give it all to Him, everything, and then stand and wait to see His glory!

      Thank you so much for prayers I know I need to surrender but I don’t feel like I’m doing it I can’t explain I want to give my all to Jesus listening to the prophetic made me feel as if I’ll never get there if that makes any sense thank you

May the Church stand firm and learn to stand firm. His Word says that in these perilous times, there will be traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of self rather than lovers of God, men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith, BUT they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to ALL. 2 Tim. 3: 1, 8-9.

We see this in the church as well as in the world. Lord, I pray traitors will progress no further, to be completely exposed and taken down. I pray those in the body of Jesus Christ who are lovers of self rather than lovers of YOU, God, will repent and turn from their wicked ways, in Jesus’ name! So be it! Amen

As Christians we are bound to legal/constitutional means to choose our leaders. The evidence is strong, and in law, proof is the weight of the evidence, that a war(https://trulyrightview.com/2020/10/how-the-marxist-agenda-is-taking-over-america-today-curtis-bowers-american-thought-leaders/ ) was substituted for an election. Subversion of election law by the courts is largely responsible yet we hear, even from Christians, to depend on the courts to remedy the problem. This leaves us with hope for a miracle or fighting the war which is what the enemy stated is what we are in(https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/25/george-soros-89-still-quest-destroy-america/). In the Bible Israel asked God what to do first and we also have record in the Bible of God hardening the enemy’s heart to set them up for Him to act. We also note that He allows the enemy ground when the people have left Him. I believe this leaves us with repenting for ourselves and our nation and waiting on God. I don’t think we need Trump for God’s will to happen nor does Trump need to endure 4 more years of criticism and betrayal. He may have other plans for the president. We want our constitution to be upheld and for this country to be the example of freedom for the world but we have to pray for God’s will.

    So well said. I agree. God has allowed us to get to this point…all avenues have failed…it’s amazing isn’t it? But wait!!! Let us all draw back to the Lord Jesus with a contrite spirit, and humility, repenting of lukewarmness. Repenting while we watched as over 60 millions unborn innocent precious little babies were killed. Repent for voting in ungodly wicked leaders and allowing the devil to come in and destroy the minds of our children

    We got here I believe because the church left it’s first love. We are of the Laiadocian church. The last church of the Church age. I believe God is setting us up to be raptured and ready. When? Only God knows. But the rapture requires we be ready at all times, and not in any way putting our hope in this world to become paradise. No no, scripture is clear on what will happen. The church raptured, the peace treat with Isreal and the AntiChrist will be signed and all Hell will break out as God pours out his viles of wrath on a wicked unbelieving world. Yet, God still sends the 144,000 witnesses from the tribes of Isreal to share the gospel. Many will get saved. Oh such grace and mercy. But most who get saved will be killed. But some will survive and go into the millnium wonderful time of peace and Jesus and his raptured Saints glorified saints will reign with Jesus. Yes, scripture is clear. Jesus shall return with all His Saints! We cannot change scripture. We cannot safe this world. It’s on a one way course to an ultimate outcome. We must prepare and be ready for Jesus to come for us.

Thank you Lord for these encouraging words. We (your bride) confess our sins and repent – for any hope we mistakenly placed in anything but you Lord. For you alone are God and we place all our hope & confidence in you and no other. We confess our sins of turning against our brothers & sisters and acting like the world. We are cleansed by the blood according to your loving kindness. Let us love one another better, have grace and mercy for one another, remembering the grace & mercy poured out for each of us.
I pray, Father – in agreement with the words written in this article- that your bride be awakened! Let this be a time that the church is strengthened, equipped, solidified, emboldened that we might truly become a church on fire! In the name of Jesus I pray. Thank you Lord for your perfect, flawless plans and your mercy and love for all your children. Praise be to God!

Lord Jesus, You know how badly the Church in America needs to be revived. Please make a way where there would seem to be no way. You tell us in Your Word that in the last days, that You will pour Holy Spirit upon all men. We eagerly await for this to happen. We need a tremendous outpouring of Holy spirit upon ourselves who constitute the Body of Christ. Of course, we wish to see people come to salvation, especially our unsaved loved ones. We thank You and praise You in advance for what You are about to do in us. In Jesus’s name we pray.

Amen. The Lord gave me a scripture yesterday which I am holding onto: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

We, as Christians must not walk in fear! The Just live by faith not by fear. Job said, “The thing I feared the most has come upon me.” (Job 3:25) This is the verse which has helped me through many ordeals to focus on Christ and not on my fears, which I’ve learned to give to Him. My mother died from cancer when I was 15 and she was 51. For years I lived with the fear that I would too, until I found this verse and stood on it. I am now 76 years old and can testify that it works to live by faith rather than by fear. Whatever happens in the next week, year, or years, He will be with us to strengthen and to guide us by His Spirit. He has allowed all of this for the reason only He Himself knows. All He asks us to do is to trust Him and not live in fear.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE! A COMPASSIONATE NATION WHOM THE LORD HAS PURPOSED TO BE A CITY ON A HILL AND TO BLESS ISRAEL THE APPLE OF HIS EYE. OUR GOD, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB IS FAITHFUL. GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM: THOSE WHO BLESS YOU SHALL BE BLESSED AND THOSE WHO CURSE YOU SHALL BE CURSED. GOD’S WORD IS ETERNAL AND EVERLASTING. Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 54:17, Psalm 91, Hebrews 11: Hallmark of God’s Faithful Servants who endured, persevered, persisted, and overcame all obstacles. Mourning may come in the night, but Joy of the LORD comes in the Light of God’s Morning! God is FAITHFUL, God is Awesome, God is Our Rock and Our Salvation. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Psalm 40
1I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Watchmen on the Wall, do not give me any rest until Jerusalem is at peace. May the Peace of God Immerse Us All in the United States of America and the Peace permeate throughout the whole earth.

Such encouragement for these days. it gives me pause and a looking-inward, and a little fear maybe: am I strong enough? Do I pray and fast enough? As Billy Graham said, will I be able to “walk the last mile of the way triumphantly”? Only as God gives me strength and perseverance. I thank Him every day for words of encouragement like yours. May He bless you exponentially!

    I agree. The blessings we are about to receive will be biblical in apportionment to what we have ever known, and you will witness it happening. Please be kind to each other and help one another as times may become very complex in the near future. Remember that this nation was built upon His word and His laws and we shall be returning to that order, through our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

    As watchmen, we should realize that there are many things coming to fruition soon, that have been sought for over 30 years. During that period of time we have witnessed a degradation of morals, ethics and civility, creating the great divide. God is in control and He has given great authority to certain people to lead us and bring us back from the brink of extinction. I thank the dear Lord every day for His plan and for our President who will speak to us through the Emergency Broadcast System, explaining what we could not accept or believe was happening to this great Nation.

    Just have FAITH, pray for the Military who have Washington DC locked down, with communications blocked to facilitate this plan. Vanquishing evil is always good. https://www.citizenfirstnews.com/post/what-is-realy-going-on-in-dc-lin-wood-call … hope this helps. Be prepared for the storm!

    Thank you, Lyn. I was believing the LORD for the parting of the Red Sea. I became discouraged after January 6. “Stand firm” spoke volumes to me. The LORD also brought me to the passage of putting on the armor of God in Ephesians, “and then having done all, stand” when I woke up this morning. You confirmed. I didn’t realize how difficult it was to simply stand. Feeling my faith muscles getting strengthened. 🙂 Bless you for sharing 🙂

Let’s not look to the natural. Our God will never fail I agree with this word.

Ephesians 6:10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
Ephesians 6:11 Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
Ephesians 6:12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
Ephesians 6:15 And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. [Isa. 52:7.]
Ephesians 6:16 Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
Ephesians 6:18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).
Ephesians 6:19 And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news (the Gospel),
Ephesians 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in a coupling chain [in prison. Pray] that I may declare it boldly and courageously, as I ought to do.

Praise and worship him and you will see the VICTORY.

Rev. Morris Bender

This article was absolutely the Word of the Lord.
God is interested in His Church and over the past weeks during our church’s 21 days of Prayer,
the focus is that the Church would arise and seize on this opportunity to be a Witness
of Love and unity and Forgiveness (John 17). He is Sovereign in everything !
As I mentioned in a previous response, in September the Holy Spirit during a time of prayer clearly
told me that Trump would not win a second term and to prepare for a Biden presidency. I discerned
He had a greater purpose in mind then we see, so my prayer was that His will be done, rather then be discouraged…

As a group of us in leadership were praying yesterday, we discerned that many in the Church being
disappointed in the election outcome, were overwhelmed by a spirit of discouragement that the enemy had released over the church.
Saints, we need to be wise and know God is Sovereign. He began to speak to me
again that He had a great purpose in mind and to prepare for an Awakening and pouring out of a Spirit
of Grace and Power that He wanted to release upon the Church in the next year or 2.
Exactly a confirmation of what you have shared in our article. Praise God !!
During our evening of intercessory prayer last night God gave my wife Psalm 102:16:
“When the Lord shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His Glory.”

God is Sovereign. He wants to do something wonderful in these coming days. This is a time for us
His true saints to arise, rebuke the spirit of discouragement the devil is attacking the church
with, and endeavor like never before, to walk in Love, Unity and Forgiveness.
Then:
“He WILL APPEAR IN HIS GLORY”

Thank you so much again for your article.
Blessings to everyone, this is a time to press in, believe God, and know who is Sovereign.
Our enemy is doing everything he can to discourage us because he knows his time is short and God is
about to do something wonderful IN THE CHURCH which will spread out to this nation.

Personally I am dreading the thought of Tuesday, 1/20/21. “Illegitimate Beijing Biden” does not deserve our respect. I appreciate Suni’s comments. I pray that something great will happen if and when President Trump has to leave office! I want him to save face in a great way–Trump style–he deserves that! He has served the body of Christ well during his first term. 74 million Americans are devoted to his ideals. Our voices may be silenced but our devotion isn’t! The thought that has been running thru my mind is that the American people are being duped. Our foreign enemies (China, Russia, Iran) have infiltrated our Congress. They have successed in pitting us against one another when it is them we should be uniting against. We have been short-sighted! Will we figure that out soon rather than later??? God help us!

    Correction: Succeeded–They have succeeded in pitting us against one another when it is them we should be uniting against. Sorry for the incorrect spelling above. I should always triple check what I write before I press “post comment”!

      His ideals were actually our ideals and republicans ideals. It is we the Christian Church and Israel who Beijing Biden and Jezebel Pelosi and Harris and antichrist Dems want to exterminate. I would like for Jesus to bless and honor President Trump for trying to bless we christians and definitely blessing Israel. Please Lord blessing peace and honor President Trump . Thank you

        Yes, I so desire for our beloved President to know how much he is loved, appreciated and revered for his great courage in the face of ceaseless opposition! We can support his legacy by always punching back like he taught us to do! He will live in our hearts and he will motivate us to “Make America Great Again” in spite of the mess we are in! We are now under God’s judgement. When we have done all we can, we must STAND. I think there is a Scripture verse about that!

Dear Father,
Forgive me please for being in a state of fear. You did not call us to fear but to stand up. It seems that I have gotten too comfortable in this world, even though you told us to not be apart of it. I know that You will provide everything we need to stand firm in our faith. Even though we don’t understand what Your plan is in regard to the current events, I pray that we will stay true to You in the days ahead.
I need the Mighty Name of Jesus
Amen

I do not walk in fear but in confidence that my God, ADONAI, is on the throne. Whatever the world may say or do, I do not despair. I may not understand but it is not for me to know all things. ADONAI is moving in the unseen world in ways we cannot imagine. My goal is to be an ambassador for Christ, to bring light, love, hope, and help to those who are walking in fear and darkness.
May we be strengthened to remember what He has done for us in the past and that we bring the glory of Christ to those around us.

    Hallelujah Hallelujah is the praise likewise on my lips. As the prophet has so beautifully Articulate it from the song, “I’m gonna see the victory for the battle is already won”! That phrase sent me into a radical praise as I was reading and praising God for the victory. Truly, the end of the script or scriptures is written: ha HA WE WIN! Hallelujah Jesus 🙌🏽👏🏾🙌🏽👏🏾🎊🙌🏽👏🏾 WE IN CHRIST JESUS WIN✝️🙌🏽🙏🏽

    Psalm 91:14-16 If you’ll hold on to me for dear life, says God, I’ll get you out of any trouble. I’ll give you the best of care if you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party, I’ll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!”

    A prayer for President Trump: “Dear God, Help our beloved President Trump to hold on to you for dear life! Get him out of any trouble! Give him the best of care! Help him to get to know and trust you even more. Help him to call on you and answer him. Be at his side in bad times, rescue him, throw him a party! Give him a long life. Give him a long drink of salvation! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
