I Prayed have prayed
God, we pray for the controversy between Texas and the Biden Administration to be used by You to bring good at our border and for our nation.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Sovereignty is the issue at hand. Does Texas have the right to protect its own border? What do you think?

From Fox News. As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to tout the state’s right to self-defend itself from a migrant invasion, some Democratic lawmakers are calling on President Biden to take control of the state’s National Guard.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

Abbott issued a lengthy statement Wednesday, saying the federal government broke the compact between the U.S. and the individual states.

“The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now,” Abbott said. “President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.” …

While Abbott issues statements about the Biden administration overstepping its authority, Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, is accusing the governor of taking a play out of former President Trump’s playbook.

“Greg Abbott has continued to use political stunts and inflammatory language to advance his own agenda, violating the Constitution and endangering both U.S. citizens and asylum seekers,” Casar posted on X. “Abbott is following the Donald Trump playbook: making immigration harder and more dangerous, so asylum seekers are pushed into the hands of cartels and the system remains broken.”

Casar continued with a string of posts, saying he agreed with Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, who on Tuesday tweeted Biden should seize control of the Texas National Guard. …

“Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border,” Castro posted to X on Tuesday. “If Abbott is defying yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now.”

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, who is running for governor in the state, also called out Abbott for “using the Texas Guard to defy a Supreme Court ruling.”

“When Gov. Orval Eugene Faubus did this in 1957, [President] Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas Guard to ensure compliance with the law,” O’Rourke tweeted. “Biden must follow this example of bold, decisive leadership to end this crisis before it gets worse.” …

From New York Post. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott received the support Thursday of all but one of the nation’s Republican state governors in his feud with the Biden administration over border security.

GOP governors from 25 states signed onto a joint statement in support of Abbott and the Lone Star State’s “constitutional right to self-defense” …

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, who says he voted for President Biden in 2020, was the only GOP holdout.

“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border,” the statement released by the Republican Governor’s Association read. …

“Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation,” the statement concludes. …

Several of the Republican governors that signed the joint statement have also issued individual declarations of support for Texas and some have pledged to provide the state with resources to combat illegal migrant crossing.

“I am willing to send National Guard down there to stand alongside,” South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said during an appearance on Fox News, noting that she has already done so in the past. …

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called the situation at the southern border “untenable” and the Biden administration’s immigration policies “a total failure” in a tweet vowing to back Texas in its standoff with the feds.  …

“If President Biden won’t defend us, states will have to defend themselves. Arkansas stands with Texas,” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted,

“The Biden Administration continues to refuse to secure the border. Virginia supports [Abbott]  and Texas’ constitutional right to defend itself,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin wrote on X.  …

What do you think of this whole situation? Is Texas justified in its response to the Biden administration?

The Constitution and Governor Abbott are in agreement. President Biden has and is violating the laws of our land, not only by not protecting our border, but in other ways to, like promoting voting for non-citizens. Lord Jesus, turn the hearts of our leaders to reject lawlessness and pursue the patterns You have designed for nations to prosper.
I agree with what Valerie has written.l
I thank God for the many governments who have boldly expressed their support for Texas to protect their border. The federal government is to support the states, not oppose no them!

Lord Jesus, we lift up Governor Abbott, the TX rangers, the USA Federal government, and each and every precious, blood-bought soul involved in this debacle. Tonight, here and now, I do submit myself to you, Lord, and I resist Satan. Lord, your Word says “submit yourselves to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”. Your word says “God is not a man that he should lie”… Your word says:” When two or three gather in agreement, what is bound in heaven will come to pass on earth”!!! Hallelujah, Lord, we pray-ers claim the blood of Jesus shed on Calvary 2000 years ago. Your word says that the blood will never lose its power, and that your Word is settled in heaven, and that Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess THAT JESUS IS LORD to the GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. AMEN. Hallelujah. “It is finished”, your last three words on the cruel cross of Calvary, You, Jesus, did it. You gave up the ghost, descended into hell, and on the third day you resurrected, all for the sake of fallen mankind and for whosoever would believe. Amen. It is done. We thank u , Lord, for having full control over these times. Our days and moments are in your hands. We give up worry, and receive the peace that passes all understanding. We give up striving in our flesh, your Word states ” the wrath of man does not accomplish the will of God”. We surrender our anger, and we know that your word states in two places: ” be angry and sin not, let not the sun go down on your anger, and in Mark ch. 4, “Jesus looked around in anger” at those who rebuked Jesus for healing the man on a Sabbath. Jesus was without sin. Therefore, Lord, we own our emotion of anger. Be angry and sin not. We are angry at sin every day, as you are, Lord. The drugs, the brothels, the men-stealers, the lies, the cover ups, the corruption, the false dealings, the principalities in high places that are against you and your kingdom, Lord Jesus! We do bind Satan, here and now, in Mexico, at the border, at the Rio Grande river, in our own homes, in our conversations and thoughts, and yes, Lord, in Texas and the United States, espu at all of our points of entry, at our borders.

Yes, LORD, you support our borders. Send your warring angels, your guardian angels, your ministering angels to Texas and all across our land. Protect us, protect our critical sources and supply chains. Protect our freedoms. Protect our health. Do not allow another J6 with the truckers convoy. What the enemy meant for evil, use for your glory. Awaken America. Awaken your church. We ask you for revival for all peoples and for the revival of your church to be salt and light in this dark world.
We raise a hallelujah, in the presence of our enemies
We raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
We raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
We raise a hallelujah, Heaven comes to fight for me

We’re gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear our praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

Hallelujah! What a mighty God we serve! We look to you, Abba! We look to you, Jesus! Pour out your Spirit on all flesh. Route the evil one out of our land. Use what the enemy is doing for your glory! To You and to you alone! In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Absolutely! Stand strong, fellow Americans. United we stand…

Solutions can be created to help others in need. We do not have to have chaos forced upon us! (And we don’t have to forsake our own in the process!)

The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy – The children of God are not called to be submissive victims! We’re created to be overcomers!

United we stand, and to God be the glory!!

It’s 12:33 on 1/29 I just woke up with this urgency to pray and alert other prayer warriors to pray for our Nation. I live in Texas, pray for us as well. With them sending lots of troops to Eagles Pass, one small section of the border, the rest of the border is not secure and with most of our troops out of country, we have become vulnerable. Pray for the safety of our Nation.
I share this with a prayer group and someone else was up and replied she felt the same urgency. Pray!!!

I agree wholeheartedly with Governor Abbott.
Scriptures speak very clearly in regard to borders set up for our protection. The Biden administration is not doing that. We just have to be reminded of how many we have been. lost due to the fetenyl brought by the drug cartel; or those who have been murdered by immigrants; or the prisoners sent by other countries; or the child trafficking,etc. This is Not protection. Lord, I pray that you put a stop to this open border policy.

It would seem to me that an individual elected by the people, for the people to be the President of the United States of America, who is inaugurated with their right hand on The Holy Bible, reciting the following oath before God and man:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”, would also be aware that the following is stated in The Constitution of the United States of America:

“Section 4 Republican Form of Government

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

https://constitution.congress.gov › s…
Article IV Section 4 | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress“

Praying the office of the POTUS will be cleansed, The Constitution of the United States of America upheld and oaths spoken be honored and kept before our Almighty, Sovereign Creator to whom we pledge our allegiance , “🇺🇸One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all🇺🇸.”

Texas is more than justified and actually long overdue. We have been urging Gov Abbot for many months to Man-up and defend our state from INVASION and praying for a back bone. I believe GOD is finally helping him to do the (right) thing that he has known that he should do for a long time!! PRAISE YOU LORD for hearing the cries of your people and for leading Gov Abbot to fearlessly do his job!!

Our president needs to wake up and see what all these illegals are doing to our nation! Our once beautiful and safe nation is no longer! Biden thinks he’s going to get votes, is the only reason for his lack of leadership and foolish behavior! God will intervene and he will bring our nation back to its roots.

President Biden and vice president Harris Both took an oath to defend our country. Unfortunately they both have abdicated their responsibility to the old they took. It hurts and shocks us to see what they are allowing to happen at the border. Anyone can see that it is pure chaos down at the border. We truly do not know who is entering into our country, Russia and France would not allow this. They are not protecting the young children which are being trafficked. And when did the United States of America Become a travel agency to fly people wherever they would like to go at the expense of the American taxpayers? Governor Abbott, thank you for putting your foot down,
And trying to continually find solutions to this chaos. I truly cannot understand how the Biden administration can boldly lie about the situation at the border. Governor Abbott, we are praying for you and for the situation at the border.

Biden continues in his “puppet role” to the deep state that controls him. Never in my 70 years on earth have I witnessed such a weak, cowardly & corrupt man. I’ve never experienced such abuse of our laws. Though God can save any man or woman, I have real doubts about Biden & so many that work with him. The level of corruption & deception is beyond comprehension. To witness someone with such a total disregard for a state(s), their sovereign right to protect their border, towns & citizens, as well as the people of the nation – it is the epitome of corruption hiding behind a leadership title that was never earned legitimately. How do these people sleep at night knowing full well the evil they have promoted?? I pray that God will NOT let them sleep anymore until they repent.
My hope is that the citizens of TX will take up arms “full tilt” & defend themselves as needed. I’m not concerned about the illegals & their situation. America has always welcomed those who did the legal work to come here within our established laws. Those that have chosen to scam & skirt our system…I have no patience for & would willingly help deport them as needed.
Mr. Biden & his administration are intent & deliberate in their efforts to destroy TX & our nation. I pray that God will raise His powerful hand against the Biden administration. Mr. Biden needs to be reminded that God & God alone is in charge.

It is unimaginable to me that we have a present federal government that will not do what is so clearly defined in our Constitution as to the protection of our national borders. We are in a state of emergency and I agree , we are being invaded. The states are justified in protecting the citizens within their borders from this present danger.

Texas has my whole hearted support. There is no way Americans can foot the bill for these illegals, even Chicago is complaining, most all these sanctuary cities are complaining.

Justice and mercy go before His throne and yes the Governor has a right to defend the boarders being mindful of from who. Praying he be praying for heart of wisdom and that God would guide his heart not a party. As there are persecuted Christians in Mexico our brothers and sisters in Christ would we refuse them shelter or a child. All Mexicans are God’s children He made all men. And we own nothing the land belongs to God. We are called to have the heart of Christ and we reap what we sow , to treat others as we would want to be treated-what if the circumstances where the opposite and we needed help. There must be way through seeking God’s wisdom to allow those God’s children seeking shelter and refuge from the enemy for we fight not against flesh and blood to give mercy and be able to keep those who seek to do harm out. Pray we seek God’s wisdom with a humble heart before we condemn or speak ill of anyone. To speak ill of another man is to speak ill of their Maker, He also choices our kings.
Daniel 2:21
21 He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;

We our called to pray intercession not judge but seek His wisdom and His heart. Would we return separating families and locking children in cages which is what Hilter did. May love which is the greatest commandment guide our hearts in Jesus name.

    Yes, Mexicans are also Gods children (btw its not just mexicans jumping the border, but military age men from China and the middle east) and all Gods children are accountable for lawless behavior. Allowing anyone to spurn the law with impunity is not compassion, its enabling!

The US constitution seems to indicate to me that Texas, like all border states, has the right, and obligation, to protect the borders of the USA. It also allows for the unique situation of having soldiers under the command of both the federal and state governments and that the state can enforce border protection when the federal government can’t, or won’t do so. I believe that Texas should continue to lead the Texas National Guard and allow for civilians to assist the National Guard has has been done since 1636.

The Supreme Court did not say Texas had to take down the wire; they simply said Biden could cut the wire.

As a Texan living in southern part of the state, I have witness the strain and crime that some of these desperate people have create coming in illegally. The average American citizen NO longer feels safe. Joaquin Castro, of San Antonio, TX, has not a clue about this as he is one of the elite. He is a total politician, period.
Daily, high speed chases occur on our road and streets between law enforcement and traffickers carrying illegals into our state, fences are cut, property damaged, citizens treated and hurt and this is just outside the cities.. My son, a rancher, found a abandoned truck with a illegal laying in the back with a broken neck almost dead from several days exposure of 100 degree weather, after he was abandoned. Authorities were called to help him. In the cities people are intimated by hoodlums wanting money or places to stay. Rest rooms in public places are overwhelmed and filthy. Big stores, such as Walmart, are dangerous especially the parking lots. And on top of that traffickers cruising the isles for potential candidates for sex trade.
All this so this administration can give the vote to illegals????? We need God’s help and we need to pray.

One of the responsibilities of every nation is to protect its borders and its citizens.

The idea that the Biden Regime would invoke a Constitution that it has openly defied and defiled during its entire time in office rivals the Pharisaical levels of hypocrisy called out by Jesus — Texas has the economy to become the Lone Star Republic again, and begin the building anew of a real America as One Nation Under God …

Open boarder means diseases such as leprosy, polio, etc. will be back. Did you know illegals don’t have to take the vaccine, the bio-weapon) only American citizens have to. In Canada same thing. Also Canada has assisted suicide only for their citizens but not for illegals. They also have open boarders.
Schumer congressman, said we will replace every American with immigrants coming through the boarder.
Lord send your mighty angels to help Gov. Abbot to close the boarder in Texas, in Jesus name and it is done! Amen

The federal government has three original purposes. One)-, to defend our borders-, two)- to enforce and guarantee our constitutional rights-,
three) to do business/diplomacy with foreign governments.
That is the entire purpose of the Federal government.
Anything above and beyond that, is not only government bloat-,it but is illegal.
That means 97% of the federal government is illegal
Not only is the Biden regime allowing who knows how many Untold numbers of criminals to cross the border- along with regular people, but are actually partnering with cartels that are creating a network of crime across our country. The very fact that this article has to be written here on the IFA platform-, and that the point has to be continually debated and renegotiated-,as though there were any other point to be made-, shows how far afield our country has gone from sanity and from proper Jurisprudence based on the Constitutional foundations of Liberty as founded in God’s Word-, the Bible.
It goes without saying that Governor Abbott is well within his legal rights and his duty-,to defend Texas, and by extension,the United States of America. The same God who created and designed Sanctuary cities for those who had accidentally committed murders so they would not be dealt with too unjustly-, is the same God who in His Justice allows for Humanity to protect itself from the onslaught of evil that is being disguised as Hospitality towards strangers.

At this point all I can pray is-, God save us all

Biden should have made a bold decisive move and continued to build the border wall and guarded it with manpower. He should have supported our sovereignty and enforced laws of safety for citizens. He’s a traitor as are most of our members of Congress. And they should all be impeached. I hope and pray whoever is pulling the puppet strings will soon lose control and it all falls down so the Lord can raise up righteous leaders.

One other thing: the people coming in, in some miraculous way, show them Your love and that they are so loved and how to come to a saving knowledge of You, Jesus, to have that relationship that will last for eternity! In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen and amen ❣️

It really is a shame that it has to come to this, that the states have to make a stand because the Adminstration that is in place in the White House will not. God bless Governor Abbott and the other Governors standing with him. I pray that Katie Hobbs here in Arizona does the same. Dear Father, thank You for exposing all You have for everyone to see, that America has fallen away from You. Bring us back Lord, open the eyes of the ones who are blind to all that has been going on, bring America back to You! I declare, America Shall Be Saved!!! In the name of Your Precious Son, Jesus! Amen and Amen.

    First Katie Hobbs must undergo complete spiritual transformation. When a human being rises to a position of power within the framework of a government system.. the point of that being that it is in control and holds sway over an entire state.. that level of authority-,when usurped by evil, becomes so inculcated in that evil-, that it is unlikely most of the time- that that person can extract themselves from that control from the evil one-,even if they desire to- without a huge prayer effort and manifestation of God in the miraculous-,through the holy spirit..in that person’s life. This is how human history is littered with human beings having sold their souls to Satan become the tyrants that we are also familiar with.. not to be differentiated that much from tyrannical religious leaders that create false religions

Governor Abbott is absolutely doing the right thing and is constitutionally correct. It is Biden who is breaking the law by allowing open borders.
We need to be taking a strong stand against the corruption and evil taking place. This is a spiritual war between God and Satan, and we know who wins!

Joe Biden is breaking our laws. Political games are being played! This is a clear abuse by the Federal government, and is a disgraceful drain on our Country. Is it okay to destroy a nation who is always so generous in giving? Borders are good. Proper vetting of people needs to happen.

Yes, I believe Texas is Justified. Only twenty years ago, Democrats themselves were vehemently opposed to illegal immigration. Until they realized they could corruptly wrest power away from their people and their opponent political parties by utilizing illegal voting by illegal immigrants.

Yes border protection is a must for the protection of US citizens and citizens from other countries. God have mercy on every person and help us to be about your business and your ways in protecting people. Guide us with your Word by the leading of Holy Spirit to teach us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Thank you Jesus our Savior. God open the eyes of the blind so they can see there are more for us than against us. Open our eyes to your wonderful Word that is able to save and convict people of sin and to accept Jesus as there Savior. Thank you Jesus for everything and everyday that we can be about the Father’s Business. Amen

Lord, please send your mighty angelic warriors to guard, keep and protect our nation from terrorists who want to harm us. Strengthen the resolve of Governor Abbott and the Texas state leadership. Cause the Biden administration to back down, and silence their threats.
But, O Lord…You have used what appeared to be crisis and disaster to bring about Your will…we see this in Your Word when the Pharoah and the Egyptian solders were pursuing the Israelites and they seemed to be trapped. Or, when Joseph was sold into slavery by His brothers. Your plans and purposes were brought forth. There are people from many countries crossing our borders…from Central and South America, Mexico, Haiti, Venezuela…even China, India, and Russia (https://www.economist.com/united-states/2024/01/18/americas-southern-border-has-become-a-global-crossroads) You said Go and make disciples of all the nations…maybe You are bringing the nations to us? Please grant Your Ekklesia wisdom, discernment and the resources to minister to these ones, wherever we encounter them, and share the Gospel with them.

Where is Cackling Kamala in all of this? Isn’t she the border czar? My fear is the civil war that this administration is creating and it will not be pretty. It is more than the Texas National Guard this administration will come up against. If the citizens of the state of Texas come together and join their forces, it will not be pretty. Pray for our Lord’s intervention to throw confusion at this administration such that the individuals tasked with confronting the Nation Guard refuse and turn away.

It is truly a shame how this situation is playing out. I pray for the truth to prevail. Biden has definitely overstepped his bounds, and Abbott has every right to be upset about how his state has had to deal with the border crisis. Lord Jesus, please use this terrible situation for good. Please, let this situation be resolved in a fair and honest fashion. Thank You, Jesus.

Governor Abbott should secure our borders and protect Texans. No sane property owner accommodates or welcomes any visitor who enters his/her property by jumping over the fence. If Biden is too weak to do the needful, he should not stop Governor Abbott.
To those at the borders: I say, GO THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR!

Cindy Riley

Lord God in Heaven,
We humbly fall before you asking for your mercy, wisdom, discernment, and guidance in the boarder situation and all the evil that is plaguing this nation. We are being attacked in all directions and it feels so overwhelming. We are so grateful that we don’t walk by sight but by faith and you told us what is ahead. If it be your will, help us to fall on our faces before you with broken, contrite and repentant hearts, seeking your face and heart. Strengthen your children and help us to stand on all your promises, including the healing of our land. Help us to defend the blessing of this nation that you have given us. Forgive us for all the bad choices we have made because we didn’t seek you or trust you. Guide our actions and help us to be willing to stand. We know that if we loose Texas, this nation will fall. If that be your will, help us to rejoice and look up, seeking your return. Help us to praise you and serve you. Help us to be your City on a Hill and you beacon of hope.
In Jesus mighty name I pray,
Amen.

There has to be an orderly process. In this clash with jezebelish forces, give Texas and America a decisive victory O God.🇺🇸

I believe God has given the states the right to protect their citizens from the lawlessness brought on by the lack of leadership shown by the empty White House.

Governor Abbott is absolutely right to stand firm against the overwhelming invasion of his state and our nation, brought about by the fools which comprise the Biden Administration. All sovereign nations must have secure borders, and since Joe Biden took office, we no longer have secure borders. It makes one wonder what kind of payoff Biden is getting from the drug cartels.

It’s beyond sad to me that the President of our great country appears to be working against the majority of what Americans want for this country. Its attempts to wear people down so they can have power is disgraceful to say the least. The writing has been on the wall to see that the corruption of illegals to cross the border goes right along with the plan of letting illegals get state id’s and now they are pushing for all states to require id’s to vote. And now I see he is pushing for illegals to vote. It is not fair to the American people. I pray Father you stop the evil that is desperately trying to take over America. I pray Father that you expose the corruption in our government, and hold responsible and justify all attacks of the enemy. In the precious name of Yeshua 💝🙏

Governor Abbott is in the right.
The democrats are simply wrong.
Our Founding Fathers were established that the Federal Government had very limited powers. In fact the current administration failure to follow immigration laws that are in place is criminal.
Since the southern border is likened to a war zone, the current administration is acting like someone committing treason against the United States of America citizens.
The border crisis has been nothing but a political disaster and all of the illegals have been become a burden on our own infrastructure.
The democrats are wanting to destroy America. Their policies are abusive and eroding the American people’s liberties which is protected by our constitution.
The Biden Administration is simply evil. May God intervene and restore like He has done when Israel had wicked kings.

The only GOOD at our border will be the closing of it! FATHER GOD please stop the flood of illegals into America with YOUR Mighty Hand! YOUR WORD tells us that we are to do things decently and in order! Our border is not functioning decently or in order! Please put an abrupt halt to ALL illegal border crossings immediately! Please put the authority in the hands of border state Governors like Governor Abbott who is trying to obey and enforce our USA Constitution and his state Constitution and laws of our country! Help him to be victorious quickly rather than later! Give him favor and help to restore Constitutionality back to our border and his state in JESUS NAME! Amen!

Thank God Governor Abbott has the courage and wisdom to protect Texas borders from the deluge of illegal immigrants! He is defending the safety of all Texacans. On the other hand Biden and his wicked administration care nothing for the safety of Americans. I’m so thankful many other governors fully support Governor Abbott’s decision to protect Texas borders.

Yes, I believe they do have the right to protect their borders when they’re being overwhelmed and invaded and it’s becoming a burden on their system. If the Federal Government isn’t going to abide by The Constitution and protect our nation by securing our borders, I feel the border states have every right to do so!

Let other border state Governors and legislators join with Governor Abbott to stop the flow of illegals and to send every last one of them back across the border! In fact FATHER GOD let this be the beginning of the reverse border crossings BACK INTO MEXICO in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Father, in the name of Jesus,

You are holy, and there is none like you. You are wonderful and deserve all our devotion. Father, I come before you on behalf of America. We confess that we have failed you. We have turned our backs on you and followed other gods. We have committed grievous sin against you. We repent for turning our backs on you, and your anointed one Jesus. Your Word tells us that when we from our wickedness that you will hear our prayer, forgive our sins, and heal our land. We confess that we have loved our sin more than you. We confess that we have corrupted the word of God, and made it out to be a lie. We confess every time that we have partnered with the enemy for murdering innocent life; we confess for every time that we judged others instead of loving them unconditionally, we confess for all the time we have wasted and forsook our covenant with you Almighty God through your son Jesus Christ. We humble ourselves before you and beg for your mercy on our land. Our land is broken; only you can heal our land. Intervene by your mighty hand, and remove the corruption out of the hearts of every American person, including our governors, senators, congressman, judges, the president, and his staff. Purify the hearts of every person, and this great nation from the Pacific to the Atlantic all the way to Alaska, Hawaii, and all US territories. Strengthen us Almighty God by your hand, we submit ourselves to your leadership King Jesus, we give you our hearts, our minds, our wills, our souls, and our whole lives and beings. We surrender to you and ask you to move us, use us in ways only you can to save our nation.
In the authority of Jesus name,
Amen

Gov Abbott has, in my opinion, waited far too long to take this step…..I’ve got to admire his restraint and attempts to get the government to abide by its own laws. These are NOT asylum seekers but an all out attempt to take over America. While Congress and the Courts dither, our children’s future is being stolen…..and our vets sidelined to care for able-bodied men.

I pray for.God’s intervention and justice to come swiftly.

I personally stand with Governor Abbott. I live in Kentucky that is ran by a weak Biden loving governor with questionable morals. I do not feel protected by our elected at all and am so grateful God alone is in charge for REAL. I am praying with all intercessors for God’s protection for Mr. Abbott, his family and his state. I believe Mr. Abbott is doing God’s work in looking out for the interests of not only Texas but America. No other country can you just waltz in when and where you want. The United States, just as other countries do, has a procedure for allowing immigrants to come here and none of those conditions are being adhered to or upheld by our Government. I am saddened that the Supreme Court doesn’t see how wrong this whole set up is and I am going to increase prayers for God to open their eyes and convict them concerning their wrongful decisions.

I pray God will strengthen those like Governor Abbott and others that are standing behind him. that as he did in King
David’s day he will fight for us. (When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Psalms 27:2KJV) Father we speak the name of Jesus over this situation and humble ourselves before you and ask you please to heal our land.

This is not simply a case of A Biden/Abbot skirmish. The People of the USA have been ignored and put at peril way to long by their own “President “ , a “president” who is truly NOT the true president. We the People KNOW Biden is merely a puppet AND fool. Abbot has a duty to protect his citizens. If a civil war must begin somewhere in defense of our country and our people, I for one say let it begin here at our Southern Border and if it does I am willing to pack my bags today and join their fight to protect Texas and the USA from a phony “would be” president who is an obvious traitor who cares more about protecting and harboring illegals than our country’s own true Patriotic citizens ready to give their own lives if necessary. Biden and those claiming he is president are a lying traitorous pack of wolves who should be taken into custody, and either imprisoned or hung for the treasonous puppets they are. If it’s coming to a civil war, let it begin if it is what it takes to regain the Oval Office. No I am not som crazy or violent fanatic, just sick and tired of watching traitors and fanatic incompetents constantly trample us under foot. May our God, who Biden and his supporters know nothing about help us by interceding His will. God bless and protect those God fearing patriots who stand ready to imply and support His will.

It is also very encouraging to see that people, not just all across the nation, but all around the WORLD are routing for us and for America! This isn’t just a fight between Texas and Biden. This is a fight between Biden and America! I think we all know why they are letting so many millions just walk across the border. And it’s about time someone stood up and did something about what’s been going on. America is fed up!

I am so glad that gov Abbott is not giving in to the tyranny of Biden and the rest of those who are in power and bent on destroying our country. I am a long time San Diego native, my only years not here were when I served in the army. It is heartbreaking to see the homeless, drug addicted, decline of our beautiful city. My hope is that many do unite and stand up to what the bigger agenda is here. We here in CA miss the strong leadership we had years ago. Texas example certainly gives me hope. I have been praying for leadership change and revival in our country for 15 years now. My 4 grown children have been impacted between lack of reasonable rent/home ownership, health insurance on our strained system as illegals get head of the line, and gang violence with the influx of drugs, even fentanyl.

Not only Texas, but every state of the nation, or every country in the whole wide world should be able to protect its borders and its people from any and all invasions! It’s as simple as ABC! To stand by and do nothing while your children are dying from drugs as a result of the invasion? And where other children are made to stay home from school to give their school over to illegal aliens? No! No! No! That is not right! Wake up America and take a stand for the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free!
