I Prayed have prayed
Father, please provide the agencies that protect our borders the strong leadership, wisdom, and protection they need to squelch all criminal activity pouring across. In Jesus’ name.

Analysis. President Biden’s border policies have not just cleared the way for an unprecedented number of migrants to pour into the U.S. (2.3 million in 2022 alone). They have opened the door to unprecedented criminal activity as well. According to Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines in an interview with Fox News, Mexican cartels are now controlling the border, smuggling drugs and violent criminals into the country. “Unless this situation changes and we take back control from the cartels for the trafficking coming across our border, it will only get worse,” Lines said.

In addition to burgeoning quantities of fentanyl (up 206% from 2020) and record numbers of known or suspected terrorists pouring in, human trafficking has become a booming business. Like the drug trade, it is almost entirely in the hands of Mexican cartels. In fact, just this week California authorities identified cartels as behind a mass killing of six people. According to Homeland Security investigators, the industry raked in $13 billion last year, compared with $500 million in 2018.

The increase in crime, human trafficking, terrorist encounters, and fentanyl distribution pose an imminent threat to the security of our nation. That threat is made worse by the depletion of law enforcement resources to combat them. Like a leaky pipe that can cause a whole house to flood, our leaky border affects every state in our nation as the drugs, human-trafficking victims, and criminal elements fan out over the country.

The Bible teaches us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).

That applies to a lot of battles an individual Christian faces, but it can apply to a nation as well, particularly if that nation proclaims itself to be “one nation under God.” Addressing that issue, IFA field correspondent Wanda Alger wrote in 2019 that a nation’s borders are spiritual gateways. She pointed out that, according to Acts 17:26, God determined borders when He divided up the nations of the world. Due to physical and spiritual boundaries established by the laws, oaths, and covenants in our nation, our land has been dedicated to God,” Alger said. “As watchmen in prayer, we are called to guard and protect our borders from any spiritual forces that seek to gain access for evil purposes.”

That powerful priestly responsibility is not diminished by our nation’s turning increasingly away from its dedication to God. On the contrary. It makes our role as watchmen on the walls of the nation all the more urgent. It also affects the strategy behind our prayers. While praying for the spiritual forces beating down the door to be defeated, we also pray that God will use the crisis to shake our forgetful nation and bring her to repentance from sin.

Watchmen observe and understand the schemes of the enemy and sound the alarm. In the case of God-appointed spiritual watchmen, sounding the alarm happens in the form of informed prayer.

For that reason, we should consider a few things to guide us in our prayers:

More than ever, Satan is openly attacking the soul of our nation. Satanic clubs after school, SatanCon, increasingly open celebration of perversion and sin, and the criminal nature of the border crisis all go hand in hand. They all amount to the same thing: Satan and his forces openly showing their intent to kill and destroy (see John 10:10). For example, the destruction that fentanyl brings cannot be underestimated. I recognize his intent to bring as many as possible in our increasingly anxious and stressed nation under the bondage of this powerful and addictive drug. The increase in crime and human trafficking, in turn, adds to our stress and anxiety as our cities are becoming increasingly unsafe. To make it even more apparent that Satan is behind this, the cartels controlling its distribution are heavily into the occult. I believe his efforts are intense because the United States is one of the few countries in the world founded on Christian principles, a country where a majority of the population until recently believed in the God of the Bible. I also think he is angry and doubling his efforts because of a well-organized, growing army of intercessors aware of his schemes and standing against him in the power of Jesus’ name! Increased spiritual attack is almost always evidence that he fears what God’s people are doing.

What Satan intends for evil, God turns to good. Throughout the Bible, people redeemed by God were enticed to follow after other things, leading to disobedience with terrible consequences. The book of 2 Kings describes this: ” … therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing upon Jerusalem and Judah such disaster that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria, and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. And I will forsake the remnant of my heritage and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies, because they have done what is evil in my sight and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day” (2 Kings 21:12–15).

But God in His mercy always restores, once the people realize their sin and repent as they suffer its consequences: … Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster (Joel 2:13 ).

That gives us hope in our intercession. As sin abounds and faith in Christ declines in our nation, He may well have withdrawn His favor for a season until eyes are opened and hearts are humbled by the realization that our nation will not survive without Him. A rude awakening often precedes a spiritual awakening!

Keeping these insights in mind, let us double our efforts to fulfill God’s call to be watchmen on the walls of our nation.

Prayer Points:
  • The Lord raises up the personnel needed to effectively combat the rise in drug trafficking, human smuggling, and crime.
  • He gives wisdom from above and strength of leadership to those tasked with securing our borders.
  • He commands the hosts of heaven against the demonic forces behind the cartels that drive these criminal activities.
  • The shaking of our nation through these threats to our security will lead to repentance and restoration as His Church calls the nation to faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • The victims of human trafficking will be set free, find Christ, and be healed.
  • Those in bondage to fentanyl and other opioids will be set free so that the demand will dry up, and the trade will no longer be profitable.

High King of heaven, we unite our hearts in the name of Jesus. You have appointed us as watchmen on the walls of our nation and decreed that we win great triumphs over Satan through our prayers. Today we pray that You would turn what Satan has meant for evil into good. We pray that the border crisis will lead to widespread conviction of sin and would open our nation’s eyes to the drastic need to return to You. At the same time, we pray that You would raise up men and women of courage and give them divine wisdom to secure our borders. Command the hosts of heaven against the satanic forces behind the drug trade, human trafficking, and the invasion of criminal elements. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray. Amen.

Pray instead for those less fortunate, who are not lucky enough to be born in America. Pray for the frightened parents who love their children and want a better life. Most Mexican immigrants are good people, and Christian.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise EVIL IN YOUR HEARTS against one another.”
Zechariah 7:9-10

The border is in Crisis! thousands have been killed, and injured — including small children. We shouldn’t need prayer — this should have been a “close the border” situation… done in Congress the first day! Seems to me, a “wake-up call” to our Congress is all that should have been needed!
Does this tell us where our prayers are really needed? Some good old fashioned Spiritual Warfare would have taken care of the situation.
TWO YEARS and no one has made any effort to close the border?
” For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through GOD to the pulling down of strong holds. ” (2 CO10:3-4).

I agree, that we need to attack the roots of the problem, the evil, satanic New World Order. his is the true root of the border crisis, and every difficult issue in our nation. Lord Jesus, by Your spirit, show us what we can do to bring this evil entity down. In Jesus’ mighty, powerful name.

This article reminded me of the day about 6 years ago when I spoke with a sergeant at my local sheriff’s office. I told him how the FBI director got me started investigating communist traitors in the federal government in 1962 and how that led to discovering communism has its roots in satanism. The sergeant then told me every Mexican drug dealer he arrested in our county was a satanist.

Father, we pray that our churches would return to what Jesus said a “house of prayer”, when he overthrew the tables of the money changers. Teach us how to pray without ceasing for our families, our communities , and our nation. Help us to be warriors for Christ with the full armor of God. Shalom in Christ. Amen.

Father God we pray and agree with all Intercessors for America OVER THIS NATION for this prayer included in our emails:
“High King of heaven, we unite our hearts in the name of Jesus. You have appointed us as watchmen on the walls of our nation and decreed that we win great triumphs over Satan through our prayers. Today we pray that You would turn what Satan has meant for evil into good. We pray that the border crisis will lead to widespread conviction of sin and would open our nation’s eyes to the drastic need to return to You. At the same time, we pray that You would raise up men and women of courage and give them divine wisdom to secure our borders. Command the hosts of heaven against the satanic forces behind the drug trade, human trafficking, and the invasion of criminal elements”.
Matthew 18:18-19 “Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. ”
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray his prayer of agreement . Amen.

I have always believed in having strong boundaries in this nation. Our ancestors who came into this country did it legally and more than any other time in this country we MUST STOP this satanic evil coming from everything south of the boarder! Not only are they bringing in more criminals, and drugs, but killing our children! This government is so wicked and corrupt, they let anything come through! We need to get back to strong morals and values instead feeling sorry for everyone. This is what happens to America when we have taken Lord God Almighty out of the equation of life!!!

Remco, would you consider adding a few additional prayer points?
1) Laws put in place in punish these crimes. (ex- In the area of GA where I live, the police will not arrest those who are housing victims of sex crimes because the perpetrators will be let out of jail within the hour. It is not worth the effort and paperwork to charge the criminals involved in sex trafficking. )
2) Job openings for people who only speak English. (ex-in the GA County I live in, there has not been an English speaking job opening in my healthcare field since 2020. All job openings listed with individual businesses or listed on Opendoor, Indeed, etc…. list the requirement “must speak Spanish”.)
3) Pastors to begin caring enough about their flock to begin preaching truths, like what you have outlined, from the pulpit. It is not loving for pastors to keep these truths out of their pulpits.
4) Victims of “victimless crimes” in the cities that these criminals have been bussed into. (ex- 1- One of my husband’s coworkers had his car stolen out of the employee parking lot. The workplace took surveillance videos to the police and the police declined to look at them because it is a “victimless crime”. 2- A different coworker was in the mall parking lot when someone came to his car window and put a gun to his head. The man called the police and showed them the video footage that was taken from his Mercedes dash cam. The police told him that they would not pursue the man who put a gun in his face because the man probably was just “underprivileged and needed to vent”. )

The Kingdom of GOD suffers violence and the violent take it by force! America is NOT under judgement by GOD! What we see happening is because of the weakness of the church of JESUS CHRIST in intercession and prayer! It is because the church stays on the defense instead of the offense! We must speak those things that be not as though they were, and take the authority that our GOD has given us to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the work and power of the devil and nothing shall by any means hurt us! Stop being politically correct! FATHER GOD I ask that YOU round up EVERY illegal immigrant in America and ship them back to their countries! No exceptions! Illegal is illegal and against American law! Let congress block even $1 of tax dollars going to support illegal immigrants!
FATHER GOD please expose the corruption between Joe biden and Ukraine and bring it to a screeching halt! Please expose the biden relationship with China and every other enemy of America! We bind the demonic spirits behind the trans and lgbtq movement and command that they all be delivered and set free in JESUS NAME! FATHER GOD please strengthen YOUR intercessors to stay on the wall like Nehemiah did UNTIL WE SEE VICTORY! Bless the intercessors and keep us praying “it is written” for every situation in our country until we see the healing and deliverance of our land in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

    I come in agreement with your prayer, Carol. God’s Word says …one man can put a thousand to flight, and two 10,000. (Deut. 32:30) At this time there are 12 agreeing with your prayer.

    Father, hear our prayer. We bind the evil spirits in our nation bringing drugs, sex trafficking, and other evil activities here, and we loose the Holy Spirit upon the borders and throughout our nation. We declare “America Shall Be Saved” The Truth will be revealed and Justice will prevail in every section of our government. There will be a boomerang effect on those who are plotting the evil take over of the USA. God will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. AMEN

Lately the book of Habakkuk has been stressed and pointed out to me. The Book is about foreign invasion and God using the other countries around Israel to judge her due to Israel’s sins. Zephaniah has been highlighted as well. I’ve been praying and first apologizing for my own and my country’s sins. Then asking God for mercy even though we don’t deserve it and asking Him to help people see the NEED for repentance and why we need to repent. And that in His judgement to remember mercy. Asking Him to give people hearts of flesh to replace their stony ones. I no longer see what’s happening as a warning but that we are actively being judged by God. There are so many people pouring into our country right now that it can’t be just a slap on the wrist from God. There’s an ocean being poured over the border. Asking God what to do to help our families and whoever God wants us to help. Asking Him how to prepare our hearts and minds for whatever is coming. God can do revivals and healings and pour out His spirit even while a country is being judged. I keep getting the feeling that what is being taught and done to our children and infants currently is the last straw and that we’ve gone over that spiritual line that we’re not supposed to cross. God, please have mercy on this country and on your people and give all of us flesh hearts that are sensitive to your voice. Change our desires and will to fit yours. Give us the prayers to pray in harmony with your Holy Spirit day by day. Save our children. We need your help. In Jesus name, Amen.

We declare these people that you are sending into our country shall be saved healed and delivered in America.

We declare these people who are traumatized and exploited shall no longer be expolited by the evil one and shall be delivered and healed by Your righteous right hand.

Father God, send forth Your people and Your resources to attend to these Your arriving and needy people, to assist them in every matter without guile hindering us. Help us, oh God our Savior.

What the enemy has been using for evil …

such as what abortion has done for 50 years and still does in 27 states post Roe v Wade …

We see that you are using this crisis to replenish the numbers slaughtered with the new ones coming forth in America …

restoring an actual America instead of removing the American from the earth.

So we thank you for those who are coming …

As You cause all things to work together for the good of America …

And we declare that they will be given justice as they cross the border …

And that leaders would be put into place that will restore the RULE of the laws already on the books, but being ignored.

These laws shall be ignored no more …

These people crossing our border shall no more be denied justice, whether in help or in apprehension to authorities …

And You alone shall now be glorified as Your people prepare in You for the America that is birthing forth …

And repent for the patriot who sees not what You are doing …

so let them now be given the seeing eye and the hearing ear …

To proclaim Your greatness in the midst of this trouble that befalls America now.

So shall it be I pray in Jesus mighty Name.

    THEY ARE ILLEGAL! They need to obey the laws of America! FATHER GOD please send every last one of them back and let them come here legally! Let congress enforce the laws of these United States or be removed from office! Americans are struggling in biden’s economy while illegals are living in hotels and getting 3 meals a day! So many Americans are homeless and becoming homeless as rent and home prices soar and they get not $1 dollar from the government we pay taxes to! FATHER GOD please put a stop to this foolishness and let immigrants come to America legally and make their own way without our tax dollars in JESUS NAME! Please help the working poor Americans and the homeless and shut our borders to illegal traffic immediately in JESUS NAME! Amen!

    As yourself:
    Why do the Democrats are fully supporting this invasion.
    Why are progressives like George Soros funding this mass migration?
    They know that by giving them tax payer funded freebies that they will vote Democratic for generations.
    They especially want to flip Texas blue and cement their control over this country for many years. If you like the policies of the Democratic Party, you will love this mass migration. We might win the support of some but probably never a majority.

Of Course, Jesus and God all mighty are witness to those who would destroy America and no doubt their combined divine judgment will fall upon the evil ones. From my point of view, my most important job is to keep my eyes on and follow my lord and savior Jesus and commune with God my eternal father. I do this as my basic prime directive. Having done that then prayer is uppermost, and I pray by having a nice thankful conversation with broth Jesus and Father God where I simply ask for what I need. I usually don’t ask them or remind them to take action on world events.

Father You are Elohay Kedem, The God of the Beginning. You declare the end from the beginning and You declare things not yet done. It is Your counsel that stands. You know everything surrounding this crisis at our border, how it began and how it will end. Your word says, the end of a matter is better than the beginning. I pray this is so in this concern. You know how I feel about this and all the other crises this administration has created or allowed but You seek no direction from me. I praise You Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit over the border and all the crises in America. You are our Maker, our Life, our Healer, Salvation, Provider, Strength, our God With Us. I pray You will move on this as ONLY YOU ARE ABLE. Amen

The root of the problem at the border is demons which we need to be collectively binding.
The people who are of the cartels are possessed by demons… WE COLLECTIVELY NEED TO BE BINDING THE MEGER POWERS OF PRINCIPALITIES AND SPIRITS OF DARKNESS AND ASKING FATHER GOD TO LOOSE THEM FROM THE PEOPLE FROM THEIR GRIP AND FILL THEM WITH HIS LOVE, COMPASSION AND TRUTH.
These people are spiritually blinded and DON’T KNOW IT!

Yehovah, Father and Creator God, we come to You in the name of Yeshua, Your precious Son, by Whose blood all any and are saved. We Thank You for The Cross. We praise You for all You have done down through the ages. We especially Thank You now for what You are doing NOW in our world and in our nations where we have failed as Your Ekklesia, and have allowed things to get as bad as it has been. We ask for Your forgiveness for our failures.
Thank You for teaching us about binding and loosing and tearing down strongholds.
We pull together now to pull down the stronghold of the cartels, in the precious and mighty name of Yeshua ben Yehovah.
Thank You for all Your behind the scenes work.
We Love You Lord and we lift our voices to worship You. Oh! Souls! Rejoice!
Take joy, Our King, in what You hear. Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ears.

My adult life is replete with stories of Shortie Guzmans international oganization. He is known to hav e more power than third world communist countries. His nation state along the border is known for combining nationalities to provide powerful satanic rule much like North Korea.
We have powerful Intercesspors standing against the increasing drug problems in our city
Huan trafficking was emphasized by the Lord this week.
As I read this message, the Lord reminded me to intercede for those who have truly escaped persecution in their country and want a chance to begin again. May these be among the billion souls we are asking the Father for in this Third Great Awakening. AMEN

Father, May the watchmen hear and be renewed in vision and power to sound the alarm and declare that victory is the Lord’s and not Satans. Let us arise and be vigilant and may the Church hear what the Spirit is speaking to the Church. the victory is the Lord’s “for not by might, not by power, but by my Spirt says the Lord.” Let us keep our eyes on You Lord and be strengthened in You.

Lord, I’m not close to the border, but as I have appreciated and participated in the prayerful coverage of our nation’s leaders, maybe like wall that Nehemiah built, we as intercessors need to take our place on the border. I’m imagining an arm-stretched space that I can cover in prayer. Then I imagine my spiritual brothers and sisters, claiming each their own stretch of the border, until it was completely filled with a wall of believers, tending to their section of the wall. Maybe IFA will consider this idea, maybe it won’t, but Father I want to be specific in my prayers to You. I truly believe that we are witnessing the judgement of Your holiness being violated. I also KNOW that You are the Lion of Judah and though these situations are a mess, they have NO bearing on Your constant state of LORD OF LORDS – You are completely in control and I can trust You. Father, I thank You for the body of intercessors who have realized that by raising our shields of faith together, we are NOT alone in our efforts. The enemy keeps taunting me with the idea that in my prayer closet I am alone – when I know that is not true. Father in my study yesterday, You reminded me through Your word that the enemy wants to keep us from our relationship with You and uses even things that SEEM benign at the moment, but are tools he and his minions have hijacked as weapons. Give us Your People, discernment to recognize the distractions that keep us from communion with You, and pour out Your DISCIPLINE on us all to order our days in ways that allow Your fragrance of sovereignty, purpose and power to emanate from each of us in such a way, that the enemy falls back, and unbelievers recognize Your Majesty. We are covered in You, Father, let us represent You in the BEST light, EVERY single day, and not grow weary in our worship and honor of You our LORD. As we wait for You, make it obvious of our moments that come daily, to tell the world of Your faithfulness, Your salvation through the sacrifice of Your Son Jesus, and the hope of Your return soon. Let us not become weary in doing good Father – I thank You for washing me clean and taking me on this journey of completion. You will be faithful to complete me, and I thank You! I repent of often being a “slow learner”, but I love that You love me anyway! Amen!

      Yes, Lord, we know this current administration is part of the global reset mindset and that there is money coming from the billionaires who have gotten money from ill gain for the purpose of world dominance. But we also know that You can dry up their financial accounts and shift their money into hands of Holy Spirit filled people who will use YOUR MONEY correctly to help those truly in need.

      Father, while we’re at it, why don’t we pray that collectively the masses that are fleeing their countries, begin to understand it’s a spiritual battle first and only Yeshua can help them tear down the powers behind the overthrow of their countries and have taken their livelihood and freedoms away. Help them collect together and decide to fight the spiritual battle first and then IN YOUR SPIRIT go back and fight for their countries. Give them wisdom, courage and the physical things they will need to accomplish it. In Yeshua’s Holy name.

Lord, we pray that Your holy hand would raise up warriors, both spiritual & physical, to do battle against the forces of darkness at our border. Give our officials at every level new & fresh ideas on how to combat this flood. Instill in them courage, which many lack today. Expose any official who is compromised. We desperately need Your help Lord. Those working for law & order at the border need You to strengthen & encourage them. We need new leadership at the federal/state level that will work to solve these problems. Lord, Remove from authority those who have shirked their responsibility & who’s intent & plans are for evil instead of good.
We pray that the cartels involved in criminal activity would feel Your hand of resistance & bring judgment against them if they refuse to repent. Let all their efforts & actions run into the resistance & warrior acts of God. May they fail & be exposed, caught & tried. We pray that they will be “given up” by many who know their activities. We pray that You would help us to do whatever is necessary to stop these cartels, for they do not listen to reason.
We cry out to You Lord…. help us. Direct us. Give us hearts & minds that obey & honor You. Our vision is that our nation would, once again, honor You as Savior & Lord. Amen.

Some who are dying from fentanol are not addicted to opioid drugs. They purchased medications online for illnesses or anxiety and got a medication laced with fentanol that took their lives.

Even those with papers need help desperately. On Sunday 2 boys 17 and 18 years old from Venezuela who were dropped off in New York city went to the Canadian border where they were turned back. Dressed for summer in 17 degree weather they found a church in the border town where they were handed over to the police. They communicated with a translator phone. Their parents aren’t allowed to come. I share your feelings and pray with tears.

    Lord Jesus, thank you for this pastor sharing with IFA what so many others have been praying over, beeching You for forgiveness and healing for our idolatry , Rabbi Jonathan Cahn even recently gave us all a clear picture of how our country has been chasing after idols in his newest book.
    We do confess our sin as a nation Lord.
    We sooOO thank you for pouring out your mercy and grace to expose the evil acts AND the roots of the evil, how to combat with spiritual strategy, prayer, to do the good instead of evil acts. Like how Ivan P. the Philadelphia hockey player, recently so lovingly chose to honor You and still respect the choice of others he did not agree with…
    Lord, we ask in Jesus name you to let the evil plans catch and destroy those who will never repent and surrender to you as Lord, to protect those who will come to you, sooner or later.
    And we do ask you to pour out your mercy on those who have been victimized by the evil allowed to run rampant in our country Lord, to comfort them , heal them, save them if they don’t KNOW and love You as Savior, Lord, Maker & Master, VBFF (Very Best Forever Friend) EHBB (Eternal Heavenly Big Brother) and I especially love this trait of our Lord Jesus, as the oldest of four girls who always watched out for my younger sisters, I always wanted a big brother to watch out for me❣️
    Poppa God, we confess our sin of just complaining and critiquing our leaders for poor or downright evil choices instead of praying for them as you command.
    Jesus, we lift up this new set of leaders and the the ones still there in Washington and the governors, mayors, city councils, sheriffs, in business, schools and churches, we ask your wisdom over them, give them courage to do good, recognize evil as evil and chose to reject it all together and we ask you to restore the years the locusts have eaten, we ask for a return to You, Most High God, that You will let America once again be that beautiful light on a hill, shining with Your glory, not anyone or anything else’s, to save many before the rapture…cause we KNOW you are coming back soon Messiah Jesus!
    MARANATHA ❤️‍🔥❣️❤️‍🔥

We have allowed Satanic forces to penetrate the gates. The trafficking of children haunt me. Alone, scared, hurt, without hope, dying, our kids on our watch. My heart hurts for them.
America must repent and turn back to GOD. Only then will our Children and their Children and their Children be saved. Sing Blessings today and pray for our kids.🙏

Dear Lord please help the situation at the border. We need You and Your help. We need wisdom, guidance, strength and direction towards making good policies. Please give us protection against all the crime and evil associated at the border. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
