When I was a kid, my grandmother bought me a candy-apple red tricycle with streamers on the handlebars—state of the art for its day, which was 1956. I was not quite four. That red tricycle was my prize possession, kind of like the “kiddie version” of a Cadillac same as the one Grandma drove.


One day the neighbor boy next door, a bully, marched over to my house and told me he was there to steal my tricycle. Paralyzed with fear, I watched helplessly as he taunted me with what he planned to do, then pushed me down and stole the tricycle. He not only drove it out of my yard but drove it around the neighborhood.
When I realized this wasn’t a prank and the kid was not going to return it in a couple of days, I went to my father in tears and begged him to make the bully next door give back my tricycle.
Dad said, “No—you go right over there and get it. Today’s the day you learn to fight back when somebody tries to take what’s yours.”
Tearfully, I realized that if I was to get the tricycle back, I would have to go get it—or risk losing it forever.
So I dried my eyes, went next door, and called out at the top of my lungs for the bully to come outside.
He came sauntering out onto the porch and the minute he did I hit him in the eye with my fist.
I had caught him by surprise and socked him with everything I had. I couldn’t believe it: Here was the neighborhood bully, wilted and whimpering, crying like a girl and yelling for his Mommy.
Meantime, I spotted my tricycle, jumped on board, and wheeled back home.
That was the day, just as my father predicted, that I learned to stand up for myself and not roll over when the thief comes calling.
THAT’S WHAT WE ARE DOING MONDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, INTERCESSORS!
WE ARE STANDING UP, GOING NEXT DOOR, CALLING OUT THE BULLY, PUNCHING HIS LIGHTS OUT PROPHETICALLY, IN PRAYER & FASTING, AND TAKING BACK WHAT’S OURS!
WE ARE TAKING BACK THE ELECTION FAIRLY WON BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE WHITE HOUSE, AND OUR NATION!!!
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12)

The attitude of Christians toward the providential order in which they are placed is to recognize that God is behind it for purposes of His own. For example, in our own country the dominance of state machinery stops occasionally and things are reconsidered and readjusted by means of a general election. Then is the time for Christians to work and make their voices heard. As soon as the machinery is at work again, the counsel abides—subjection to the higher powers; “the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” Romans 13:1

This is kind of parallel but here goes: Oswald Chambers made this statement before 1917, his death year. This is from a collection of lectures and teachings compiled for his book, BiblicaI Ethics. Nothing changes. The world is in an uproar but Our God Reigns! May the Praise of Jesus Christ soak you through and through…now, tomorrow, and in every day of your earthly life. Despite who we want or need, no man is or ever will be in control…Thanks be to God!

I love the analogy! Our God is the One to walk beside us in our quest to take back America! We need Him! Satan has been working very hard in his plans to overthrow not just America, but Believers as well. BUT he was defeated at the cross! Praise God for His victory!

This is trickling out today. They (Italy) have an aerospace and defense (Leonardo) company that basically laundered the votes with an algorithm that changed the votes to Biden, then sent them back to the German server to continue back to US. They went from US to Germany, then transferred by private server to Rome where there was an algorithm that was uploaded and changed the votes. They are the ones who actually shut down the vote counting. M16, CIA, FBI, US Government, UK Government, German government, Italian government and US/Italian defense companies all involved.

    Is this another fake leak to discredit Trump supporters who believe it on another very important political day? Just asking as Italians on twitter are cracking up laughing at this allegation.

    Lord please show the truth whether Italy was involved in the vote switch. Let America be careful not to believe anything without first checking it and double checking it. Lord protect President Trump from conspiracy theories, he needs facts based on reliable evidence. There are people around him who have not stood in your counsel and heard from you. Forgive your people Lord.

    In Jesus name.

    Amen

The people in Georgia were deceived and it looks like the Democrats will win by people who said to boycott the run-off and not to vote.

Time for everyone to read the word for themselves and to hear what the Lord is saying for themselves.

The Lord alone is America’s deliverer.

We are going fast into end times and chapter 13 of Revelation will happen. The question is when?

Time to get ready church. The Lord is the only restraint.

Yes, Lord God Almighty! We The People MUST stand up to the bully(s) and take back our nation! The battle belongs to the Lord:

1 Samuel 17:45; 2 Chronicles 20:15; Psalm 24:8

I hear that although Loeffler and Perdue are both minimally ahead in Georgia, the same stunt may be occurring as on Nov. 3, that is stopping the counting and returning at 8:00 am to continue. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but in any event may God intervene, and may we, His prayer warriors not give up!

1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before! Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;Forward into battle,see his banner go!

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!

2 At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers,on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]

3 Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. [Refrain]

4 Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor, unto Christ the King; This thro’ countless ages men and angels sing. [Refrain]

Three prayer points I got from Lance Wallnau’s book (God’s Chaos Code) to present in the courts of Heaven:
1) God keeps His promises!
In Genesis He promised, “I will bless those who bless you (Israel) and I will curse those who curse you.”
President Trump has blessed Israel many ways, so God will bless him according to His word.

2) For the honor of God’s name and reputation!
President Trump has openly confessed Christ several times in speeches, his Christmas Day address to the nation, and at a rally he pointed to Heaven and said, “He’s the boss.”
What will the heathen nations, the atheists, and the followers of false religions say if God does not uphold this man who has identified himself with Christians, stood for life, for freedom of religion? They would say the God you worship is not powerful, doesn’t exist, doesn’t care

3) God is a covenant-keeping God!
We have recently celebrated and re-committed to the first covenants made with God 400 years ago to spread the Gospel throughout this nation and throughout the world. (Mayflower Compact and prayer meeting when first settlers came to Virginia and planted a 7-foot wooden cross they brought with them from England),
Also our nation’s founding documents the Declaration of Independence and Constitution clearly honor the God of the Bible

God, thank you for all your wonderful promises. God, we already have the victory. We only need to step forward in faith. I declare that you will reveal all the evils that are coming against us. God you will defeat these enemies. You will direct our steps. We will see the most wonderful days soon. We are already full of joy, even though the lights have not been turned on yet. I love you God and it is because of your promises. You have brought millions and millions closer to you because of this uncertainty. When the moment comes when we have this victory, we will all know it was you God who brought us this victory. THANK YOU GOD.

Heavenly Father, how I thank you and praise you that people across America, and even across the world are praying for America. Lord, I deeply love my country and deeply desire, as I fast and pray, that American will again experience a mighty spiritual awakening, a great revival, that will astound us all with YOUR GREAT POWER, LOVE, MERCY, and GRACE! I have been praying Lord that you will do something so MIGHTY that America, and even the whole world will know YOU have acted on behalf of our nation. I pray, Father, that Congress will hear YOUR voice and sense YOUR WILL as they meet tomorrow, and that YOU will GIVE THEM EACH ONE the COURAGE, THE MORAL INTEGRITY, to make the decision PLEASING TO YOU! I pray for the protection of our President, Vice President, and every member of Congress. I pray this in the GREAT and MIGHTY NAME of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

Our mighty God and Father, have mercy on this country for the sake of the remnant that are still faithful to You. You would have saved Sodom for just a few righteous – please deliver us from this great evil. Let truth shine like the noonday sun. I pray for the proceedings tomorrow and for the brave senators and congressmen who will be objecting to the electoral results. Give them courage and strength, and protect them under the shelter of your wings. I pray that the evidence they will be presenting will be irrefutable. Our God and savior Jesus, show Yourself mighty and do what only You are capable of, and defeat the evil trying to overtake us. We love You.

Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you. For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot dwell with you. The boastful cannot stand in your sight; you hate all evildoers. You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people. Lord , lead me in your righteousness because of my adversaries; make your way straight before me. For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues. Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against you. But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May you shelter them, and may those who love your name boast about you. For you, Lord , bless the righteous one; you surround him with favor like a shield.

Lord God we have come to Our Red Sea and the Egyptian army of our day is at our backs. We look to You to send Your pillar

“Then the angel of God, who had been leading the people of Israel, moved to the rear of the camp. The pillar of cloud also moved from the front and stood behind them. The cloud settled between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. As darkness fell, the cloud turned to fire, lighting up the night. But the Egyptians and Israelites did not approach each other all night. Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!”

Lord we need Your miraculous presence to defeat the demonic army threatening to destroy us.

We exalt You in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus, Your Son and our LORD

Psalm 35:6-8
6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.

    Yes Martha, that is what we are trying to do. We are not hurting them, and we are trying to show them the right way by speaking truth. They crucified Jesus for doing this and they would do the same to us. If they would follow Him, they would have His peace and know the truth that would set them free.

I pray that we will have Senators, Represenatives, governors, etc., with enough backbone to stand up against the corruption that is taking place in Ameri ca. I pray that someone will encourage Vi ce President Pence to be a Mordecai (see book of Esther in the Bible) to stand up against Haman (Biden) who was intending to destroy God’s people. I am sure that many who want to do what is right are being threatened. However, if they feel that they are in office because of prayer they need to step up to the plate and be an Esther or Mordecai even if threatened. I pray that God’s Angel’s will be around their family, friends and their property (Ps. 91) and be covered by the blood of Jesus.

    This just happened to Sen. Josh Hawley. The Antifa thugs came to his home while he was away. His wife and baby were there and she called the police. Sen. Hawley stated that he will not be intimidated. That’s backbone!

      For Senator Hawley and his wife..Psalm 3. (1)Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. (2) Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” (3). But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory, and the one who lifts up my head. (4). I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.(5). I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
