I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for a true, fair, and just election result for our sake and the sake of the nation.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Christians leaders are coming out in support of the whole democratic process, which includes legal and investigative action that will result in Americans, and the world, knowing that our election processes are fair and that every legal vote is counted.

Several evangelical advisors are supporting President Trump’s legal right to fight over the contested results of the 2020 presidential election.

Ralph Reed, who leads the Faith and Freedom Coalition, told Religion News Service that Trump has the right to pursue necessary litigation and call for vote recounts.

“As a veteran of the 2000 Florida recount, I take the integrity of elections and the rule of law very seriously,” explained Reed. “Donald Trump’s campaign is entirely within its rights to pursue legal challenges and recounts where appropriate. This election will be over when those recounts are complete and those legal challenges are resolved—and not until.”

On Monday, Evangelist Franklin Graham of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Association tweeted that it is ultimately up to the courts to “determine who wins the presidency.” . . .

“He has a case,” Graham said. “That doesn’t mean the outcome will change. Our forefathers, when they created the Constitution, realized the election might be contested. That’s why the certification isn’t until a month or so later. It gives time for disputes to be worked out.”

“He shouldn’t concede until the process is finished,” he continued.

Tony Perkins, president of The Family Research Council, echoed Graham’s sentiments, noting that the election is not over until all legal steps in the presidential election process are completed.

“There are a number of steps—under the Constitution, federal, and state law—that still need to occur in the presidential election process,” he wrote on Tuesday.

The Rev. Tony Suarez, vice president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, also argued that Trump has “every right” to “involve the courts as necessary.”

. . . In similar fashion, Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas said that Trump has “every right to contest the election” while telling Christians how to respond to a possible Biden presidency.

One former Trump advisor, however, was fully on board with the projected call that Biden has already won the election.

“Congratulations to President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris,” Pastor A.R. Benard of Christian Cultural Center tweeted.

What kind of “Pastor” would recognize and encourage an administration that avows to uphold and encourage abortion in our nation?

All,

I wanted to give a praise to God about our answered prayers with good news on this weekend’s political update that could very well be a great game changer if God is helping us to level the playing field.

The details are below.

This just in from another source:

OUTSTANDING!!! The added analysis is the next item below.

Subject: US Raids European Software Company and Seizes their Servers in Germany

Finally – some tangible concrete evidence.

One of the servers with the Dominion voter fraud software was in Germany. U.S. forces successfully raided and seized the server.

Selecting a server that was out of the country was a smart move. It precludes interference from corrupt Democrat governors; eliminates the probability of lawyer platoons filing BS motions in state courts, cuts out the media, and enhances the Operational Security of the actual raid. The server can also be brought into the country on military aircraft, placed in a classified location on undisclosed federal property (more than likely a military base), and guarded by federal troops without any interference from the media, civilian law enforcement, or the Democrats. Full chain-of-custody can easily be established under existing military protocols using a DA Form 4137 or other DOD CoC forms.

Did the US Raid European Software Company Scytl and Seize their Servers in Germany? — Our Intel Source Says YES, IT HAPPENED!

By Jim Hoft
Published November 13, 2020

Earlier today Rep. Louie Gohmert told Chris Salcedo on Newsmax that people on the ground in Germany report that Scytl, which hosted elections data improperly through Spain, was raided by a large US ARMY force and their servers were seized in Frankfurt.

The video went viral.

Andrea Widburg at American Thinker earlier reported that Scytl is a Barcelona-based company that provides electronic voting systems worldwide, many of which have proven vulnerable to electronic manipulation. Scytl has (or had) Soros and Democrat party connections. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital has invested $40 million in Scytl.

Tonight we learned from our source that Bill Gates also owns stock in Scytl.

Here is what Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) had to say about this alleged raid earlier today.

Tonight we heard more from our source on this raid in Germany.

From our source: The US government, once they determined that this Dominion server was involved in switching votes, then the intelligence community began a search for the server and discovered that the server was in Germany. In order to get access to that server and have it available for use in a legal manner they had to have the State Department work in tandem with the Department of Justice. They had to request that the government of Germany cooperate in allowing this seizure of this server.

The appropriate documents required to affect that kind of seizure were put in place, signed off on, and it appears there was also US military support in this operation. The US military was not in the lead. But this helps explain why Esper was fired and Miller and Kash Patel were put in place — so that the military would not interfere with the operation in any way.

By getting ahold of the server they now are going to have the direct evidence of when they were instructed to stop counting. They will also discover who gave the direction to stop counting and who initiated the algorithm that started switching votes. The CIA was completely excluded from this operation.

Dear God, please help President Trump’s legal defenders have discernment in gathering their fact pattern of truth in order to honestly present their winning case with the evidence you have provided to fall into the right hands in helping us fight the good fight to the best of our ability thanks to our brave military. All we can do is our best and let God do the rest. May we seek Your pathway in our life’s journey for the plans You have made for why were were created for a purpose, and forgive us where we might have strayed off, but now humble ourselves to keep our focus on Jesus who will be our greatest advocate in the courts above as we now rally around our Best President EVER who is loved by so many American patriots who want other citizens to share your God given freedom. Help us build our faith and stay strong to pray without ceasing. AMEN!

My Prayer TODAY…

Deuteronomy 1.16-18
Deuteronomy 17
Deuteronomy 19.15-21

I Pray the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, Israel intervene and that this will be an ELECTION pleasing to the L-rd. I Pray ALL Corruption be brought to light and held ACCOUNTABLE by the People and the Courts of the Land. What is hidden WILL BE REVEALED! MAN PLAND AND G-D LAUGHS. Conscience be returned to the People of the Land and also the Leadership. I Pray the the L-rd would dispell the attacks on this land that is hidden and that the enemy would be scattered and a HOLY FEAR once again rule in the hearts of His People. REPENT and TURN from the Path that is taking you away from the L-rd and once again return to the path that leads to LIFE, not DEATH.

HEAR THE SOUND OF THE SHOFAR!

SHALOM!

I urge the Trump Adm. to take full advantage of the time allowed to investigate the legal process. It must
be fair or ballots need to be thrown out that are invalid. If the rules aren’t followed, then throw out
the entire election and have the House vote. Otherwise, no one’s vote is worth anything, if it can be
changed electronically in the voting process. I for one, will not ever vote again, if this process isn’t
certified by all the rules, to include both parties. If one party upholds the rules, yet the other doesn’t, then it is not valid. Both have to follow-through and go by the rules in each state. Unifying the rules, in all the states would simplify things. If most states can count the ballots in the time allowed, why can’t all
states do the same? No more mail in balloting due to lax rules. Changing rules in the process should NOT
be allowed. Treat all observers at the polls the same! No harassment and intimidation! Everyone should
feel as if their vote counted! As it is this time, no one is trusting the system. Start over on software used. Why use software developed by our enemies? (China) Why use software that can be changed easily by one’s cellphone? I am horrified that ballots were used to cheat, in multiple ways! Throw out this election!
Let the House vote for us!

PRAYING…

Something to consider. I heard a prominent and very knowledgeable figure mention this the other day. Note that this man has and was well established in the political world for many years and especially D.C.
He said this (and I believe it’s a word to both believers and non-believers)… (quote) – *When it comes to many of the present battles we are seeing, many Republicans show up to play “badminton while most Democrats show up and play full contact football”.*
I believe that statement says many things. First, DO NOT GIVE UP in this fight. We are not fighting just for ourselves but for a nation that has a lot of uninformed people who have been brainwashed through deceit and deception tactics from hell itself. Second, quit approaching and seeing this passively. This is a war. Stand on God’s word and not your “feelings or your political leaning”. God is a God of hope – not a God that concedes to fear and falsehoods. Third – get in the contest like never before. Contact your reps and officials. Be courteous but demand honest actions with “follow up”. It is easier today than ever to contact various officials in multiple ways. And due to technology, it’s easier than ever to “steal and defraud” the people through election technology!! (And a lot of people need to really understand and wake up to that fact). Four – much of the news we used to rely on for facts and truth CANNOT be trusted. That is hard for some to get used to but it’s the truth. You have to search for reliable and fact based unbiased sources. Five – PRAY PRAY PRAY. Prayer isn’t a last resort… it’s a FIRST requirement!! As the body of Christ, we must pray continually in every way possible for that which God places on our hearts. We are not living in a moment where our prayers are “one and done”. We are in a time that we must constantly petition our God. Where we put less important things in our life on the back burner and devote more time to praying for our nation, the people and God’s perfect will to be exercised throughout the land. We can temporarily give up our certain pleasures to dedicate more time to God, his word & prayer. We must publicly proclaim Jesus and speak verbally what God wants to happen.
Ask this of yourself and others…does God delight in truth..in honesty…in integrity…in those who stand for His ways… for His commands?? Of course He does. Those are things that are laid forth in God’s word and are pleasing to God.
We are in the fight of our lives. As Christians, we cannot go back to “status quo”. There is too much at stake. For this nation and for the world.
I have met quite a few people who still think it can’t happen here. The descent into communism. They need to wake up because we are well on our way. Our nation can still be rescued but NOT WITHOUT fervent appeals to God Almighty and ACTIONS on our behalf.

What I am sharing here I had already placed it under another prayer focal point. And yet, I felt it to be of significance to state again. The Lord impressed upon me early this morning 2 Chronicles 19. Pay close attention to verses 5-10 concerning King Jehoshaphat’s appointment of judges. He appointed judges throughout Judah and told them to be careful in what they do because they are to judge for the Lord, not man. The King also implored that reverence and fear to be upon the judges so no injustice would take place with the Lord and not to allow impartiality or taking of bribes! I had to pause here and pray and pray and pray. The King also implored them to judge with the fear of the Lord, faithfully, with integrity and a blameless heart! I again kept praying and asking the Lord to bring holy conviction where necessary in light of the current state of chaos and confusion and command the fear of man and blindness to truth be gone; and for Godly wisdom and boldness upon all judges especially those who are and will be involved in reviewing President Trump’s legal team court filings. And finally King Jehoshaphat said in verse 10: Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brethren who dwell in our cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, you shall warn and instruct them that they may not be guilty before the Lord; otherwise WRATH will come upon you and your brethren. Do this and you will not be guilty. Dear prayer warriors, I cannot let go of this heeding and urgency to pray for the judges and especially SCOTUS, and its chief justice. But finally in verse 11, it says for them to deal COURAGEOUSLY (be strong and do), and may the Lord be with the GOOD! God Bless

    Thank you for this. I have been so focused on 2 Chronicles 20 that I forgot there is a 2 Chronicles 19! It is so appropriate. Without knowledge, the people perish. God instructs his people in the best way to run a nation and emphasizes the importance of righteous judges.

It is my feeling and belief that Pastor A. R. Bernard is out of line and not inline with the Constitution and with a scriptural principle about keeping honest (right) books (records).

The fact that A. R. Bernard supports Biden doesn’t surprise me at all! He is very smooth in his delivery of sermons, but has led his congregation astray. I feel he is propagating a division between races and ignoring the fact that all of our blood is red! This is not the unity needed in the church. He has not supported President Trump from the get go, so why would he now?

The chaff is being separated from the wheat with every show of support to a man so completely compromised by the father of lies. The Pope, PM Justin Trudeau and A.R. Bernard = chaff.

God is our Justice and court is in session. Evidence is on trial, Exhibit by Exhibit will provide a preponderance of information that reasonable people will see what the enemy has tried to conceal in the dark. The crime scene will convict the scheme of the enemy!

Rev. Ronald Roland

The truth is that no one who supports baby murdering, homosexual idolators can call themselves Christian, much less a pastor. This so-called “pastor” might try reading God’s Word and see what has happened to false prophets in the past – like in ancient Israel, for one.
Our country is getting what we deserve as the blood of God’s children flows in our streets deeper than it did in Jerusalem, when He brought them down; and we have slid almost all the way back to Sodom and Gomorrah – what could go wrong with that plan?
We can only pray that America would get another chance to repent in peace before the dark cloud of one-world-socialism descends – in the great name of Jesus!

    I’ve been so disappointed with many in my circle who call themselves Christian and voted for Biden. I was praying that God would help me deal with these stupid people when He spoke to me that they aren’t stupid they are being blinded, they are not my enemy, satan is. I have been praying that truth comes out and blinders removed. So many Christians have become “pew warmers” neither hot nor cold and I believe our churches have to be sifted and revived!

      Rev. Ronald Roland
      November 16, 2020

      These people who voted for Biden are no more Christian than he is, or the Roman Catholic Church, which refuses to excommunicate him for not repenting of his sinful positions – supporting the wholesale murder of babies, legalized sodomy, and persecution of the True Church while promoting all kinds of false gods. These are all the things that brought down ancient Israel, and every other society that embraced them. They are the children of Satan who will reap their reward.
      We need to humbly confess that America has not only committed all these sins, but has refused to repent. President Trump has made a valiant effort, but he needs grass-root activism from us – if it’s not too late. America may be receiving the wages of her sin – death.
      Pray that God would give us one more chance – then work for repentance and reform!!!

It is surprising to know that Christian laser – former advisor of Trump went ahead to congrats to Biden. It is sad yet it just further proven the truth of Bible warning us that there is strong delusion towards the end times, we need to have discern and guard our hearts, if we listen to the major media it will mislead you to the same action. But praise the Lord! He is so patient and is testing and revealing each one’s heart from all levels in the nation to give an account to Him alone! May His perfect will be done! hallelujah!

The President not only has the right but an obligation to those of us who voted for him to contest this election. To many red flags around the swing States to ignore. If necessary this needs to go to the Supreme Court. Every State should have an Audit! Time to stop this Fraud from ever happening again.

deep sadness that these ministers aren’t calling for people to pray that president trump is the winner. we have our religious freedom, as well as other freedoms, on the line here. our nation will never be a free democracy again if this evil is not stopped. do you remember how much we lost under obama/biden? why would anyone want to go down that road again? God of Abraham,Issac,& Jacob, please forgive us. have mercy on us, and restore us and our nation to you. in Jesus Christ name i pray, amen.

Dear Father,
We look to you to unite believers in our nation. We look to you for no violence to happen as a result of these elections. And we look to You to draw our nation to Jesus; we believe great revival and harvest of souls for Jesus as it has been a tumultuous year and we prayed for revival and the nation to look to You as they are suffering in these crisis. As voter fraud is not materializing we continue to pray for humility and wisdom for our President Trump and humility and wisdom for President Elect Biden to move our nation forward. We look to you and not man to save us. Draw both men closer to Jesus. Heal our divided nation and restore our trust in democracy. You are God and see the bigger picture. Shine Your truth and light in this election. And help us not idolize any man or hinge our lives on any prophesy but look to You who knows best and can draw all to know You and desires that. We value life in every way, unborn babies, widows, orphans, refugees, the poor, the marginalized, the homeless, the racial healing especially in the church so everyone is valued made in His image and dignified because You love them. Have your will. Let us be united about the Fathers business and praying for all the governors and leaders in our nation but not preoccupied with politics which is a worldly kingdom. You are God. You can do anything! We praise You that You turn all to good and because we pray for our nation we know the gospel will go forth.

In Your love thank You Jesus, Amen

    Voter fraud is not materializing? From where are you getting your lack of information? As Christians we need to be informed so we know how to pray. Voter fraud has materialized and it’s of epic proportions. We must all pray for exposure to continue and perpetrators be brought to justice.

    Rochelle,
    You wrote ( As voter fraud is not materializing ) in your post. There is huge voter fraud going on. I would not watch the main stream media. If you can do your own research and be praying about it because it is bad right now we need to be praying for that.

    Except a LOT of voter fraud has materialized and continues to materialize. This election has been tampered with on a grand scale across the nation. I am praying for complete transparency, integrity, and justice with this election. I am praying for our liberties and Constitution to be honored and preserved. I believe God wants us to understand and be involved in current events. We are his hands here on earth and politics matter. For example, laws that protect or don’t protect the unborn matter. (And just because the media named Biden president elect doesn’t make him so. That is not their call to make.)

    Hello Rochelle, a few years ago I was not really paying attention to politics. However, it is important to see what kinds of laws are being passed which could violate Christian’s ability to be about our Heavenly Father’s business. Do you know about the Equality Act? Do you know that Kamala Harris wants to legalize marijuana and prostitution? Did you know that Mr. Biden’s crime bill, put a lot of African Americans and Hispanics in prison? Do you know the details of the Green New Deal? Take a look at some of the laws in California, Oregon, or Washington. It will shock you. First of all, Biden is not the President elect. There is a great deal of voter fraud which includes dead people voting, ballots being postmarked for Nov.3 falsely, ballots for President Trump being discarded, and late night ballot drop offs for Biden, really?? These events occurred in the swing states where President Trump was ahead in a big way. To my memory, the LORD loves justice and hates falsehood. Jesus told us to be gentle as doves, and wise as serpents. We are to watch as well as pray. Not be religious, and think somehow we are disconnected from the world. We are in the world, but not of this world. Socialism and Marxism involve governments in which the people depend solely on the government, and GOD is not welcomed.

    No voter fraud materializing??? Please stop watching CNN. You are misinformed. There is massive voter fraud. Whether or not it gets solved here, we (you also) have lost our ability to fair elections. Look up scytl (not a spelling error) software and or Hammer and scorecard software. And read about it somewhere besides LAMESTREAM MEDIA. They tell us what they want us to know. We better PRAY that God has mercy on us and exposes and helps us fix. MANY millions of people will never believe anything BUT this election was stolen no matter which way this goes. Including me.

May the Lord rebuke “Pastor” Benard for his acceptance of cheating in an election! He is doing his flock a huge disservice and we all know the Lord holds pastors to a much higher standard. When He sees President Trump inaugurated for a second term, may he get on his knees and ask forgiveness for congratulating a group who loves what God hates and who tried to take over through fraud.

A. Bernard
Should be reverencing the Lord for his deliverance from near death. And praising God for spearing his life. It looks like the very elect is deceived. Come on people, let’s fall in love with Jesus! What would Jesus do? We perish for lack of knowledge or better yet for believing the Truth. It could be disturbing (but it is not) to see Religious leaders of influence that are blind and can not see. Father I pray for eyes to be opened. I pray for an earth shattering visitation from you in their homes. Reveal the truth, Lord Jesus in Your Name I pray. And it is so! Amen.

Not surprised about a.r. bernard. He was on President Trumps spiritual advisor’s team but, in 2017 he along with defrocked pastor James McDonald left abruptly claiming they did not agree with some things. But, it was possibly pressure from his large congregation and fear of losing members and money. I say a good move for him because that was a plus for President Trump to not have a never Trumper as one of his spiritual advisors. Besides that he is very tacky as a pastor to congratulate biden who was coronated by the very untrustworthy news media. That really shows where his heart is at.
