We have met the deep state.
And it is FEMA.
And the CIA.
And the FBI.
And the DOJ.
Visit your state page to pray.
And— most likely — every alphabet of the unelected, accountable-to-nobody federal bureaucracy.
This weekend’s news — that a FEMA official (now fired) had instructed relief workers aiding Florida Hurricane victims to skip houses that displayed Trump signs — is only the latest manifestation of a disturbing persecution that — it seems — stems from the New Deal.
In the past year, we have learned the CIA played an integral role in the events of January 6, 2021.
The FBI spied on U.S. Roman Catholics on suspicion of being “domestic terrorists.” The Army is training recruits to label pro-life groups extremist.
Pile on the lawfare “pile-on” President Trump by the DOJ — and New York State and City D.A’s — and what have you got?
Modern Redlining.
Redlining — discriminating financially against a specific population — was spawned by a federal agency during FDR’s administration.
Specifically, the practice refers to the red line drawn around poor neighborhoods, indicating the areas in which loans would not be made or insured.
Redlining was originally associated with discrimination against ethnic or racial minorities.
Recently, the tactic has been used by the federal government — and beyond — against conservative, often Christian, organizations. IFA has covered the banking sector’s redlining.
Laws officially prohibit discrimination.
But when discrimination is government policy or even just one bureaucrat’s choice, the law is poor protection.
The federal bureaucracy is an increasing threat to individual freedom. Russ Vought, founder of Center for Renewing America, warned of the overweening power of America’s executive state. See prayer direction shared by Vought with IFA at our first Policy & Prayer event.
Can Trump drain this swamp?
Swamp stink gets on you like cat’s hair on suede. It seems intractable.
As IFA has reported, resistance to President Trump and his policies is already being ginned up. During his first term, an agency employee told me that DHS leadership was obstructing deliberately White House immigration directives.
This go-around, Trump has vowed to shatter the deep state and return governance to the people. He issued a 10-point plan to initiate the dismantling.
We pray the aspects of his plan that are of the Lord are effective and thorough. We also pray any aspect that is not of the Lord is not implemented.
If any one president has the scars from wrestling in the swamp mud, it is Trump.
But intercessors know there is a deep state behind the deep state.
The demonic state is the real enemy.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
Human effort — energetic as it may be — can only go so far in stemming and reforming the deep state.
Sin in the human heart is the problem. And sin amplified by illicit use of power to oppress is the deep state problem.
We need heavenly help.
We need a west wind to blow out the evil underpinnings of the deep state.
During the days of Moses, an east wind blew scads of locusts into Egypt as the eighth plague on the demonic regime. The insects were one of a kind locusts; Scripture says, “previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them (Exodus 10:14b).”
After Moses — upon Pharaoh’s entreaty — prayed, “the Lord turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Red Sea (Exodus 10:19a).”
The point here is not the locusts. The point is the power of that west wind.
The Lord’s west wind must blow out the evil underpinnings of the deep state.
In 2017, the Lord shared a prayer strategy with my warfare group. He led us to pray that He would use a west wind to blow out the evil underpinnings in American institutions.
I thought He would target professional politicians or shadowy deep-pocket financiers. But I was wrong.
The first we saw go down — within a month of this prayer — was Harvey Weinstein.
Since we first received the “west wind/evil underpinnings” prayer, the Lord has led us to pray it over a variety of institutions. Subsequently, we have seen reports of alleged malfeasance, followed by executive resignations, at some of these institutions.
Let’s join together in the west wind prayer.
Lord, please forgive those in our federal bureaucracy — whether elected, appointed, or hired — who work actively to discriminate against — certain groups of people.
We also choose to forgive these ones and to release any debt against them.
Cover the sin and the ground the sin had by the Blood of Jesus.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, bind, gag, and render unable to operate all demonic spirits.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, send Your west wind to blow out the evil underpinnings of the deep state.
Fill all emptied spaces with Your Holy Spirit.
Convict all humans who have discriminated of sin.
Bring them to repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ.
Lord, please repeal policies and even laws being deployed unjustly against Americans.
We ask these things in the Name of our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ.
How are you praying about the deep state?

Thank you, Joyce. Thanks be to the Lord that we can go to him in prayer and have a west wind blow away the deep state!
May the Lord guide us in such challenging times to stay firm, united, in love.
In the Name of Jesus Christ Amen!
Joyce, thank you for the work you do. During this season, I recalled a college class I had while doing an internship in state government. It was taught by a political science professor not from the university I was attending. Not being a political science major I was a bit anxious about how this would go. Maybe that is why I could “dig up” from my memory discussions we had about the “administrative state”. Nowadays we call this the “deep state”. Back then we were warned about professional government employees who would remain at jobs during political/administrative change (i.e. elections) and who naturally would become those most knowledgeable of how the work actually got accomplished. And this is the potential “rub” that is nowaday underway. Administrators/full- time government employees know when they can make decisions outside the norms that Congress is expecting. Add political views and we’ve got employees, not-appointed and non-elected making decisions, directing actions, etc. etc.
Joyce, I appreciated the conversation on the Headline News prayer call this morning. I agree with your prayer strategy, but received something more like the Samson anointing prayer strategy – being “shake, LORD, shake”. Perhaps many strategies might be effective. We desire to see the deep state “dis-entrenched” – somehow akin to what is happening in Gaza with hamas, and in Lebanon with hezbollah. To a great extent the deep state has operated successfully because they worked underground – may those abodes be exposed and destroyed
Praise God, FEMA is also distributing potable water in the Asheville, NC area, where it’s not available through the tap in homes.
Jesus help FEMA to return to original goals to help and truly care for American disasters.Convict all who taking supplies and monies that would go to wrong purposes.Lotd you said the truth shall set us free.Im Jesus name amen
Jesus we pray deep state will dissolve by the Holy Spirit return law and order that we had before Covid.I askin Jesus. Name Amen
Heavenly Father, I pray that you will eliminate the deep state networks and destroy the works of the devil. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 1 John 3:8. There is no peace, says the Lord, “for the wicked”. Isaiah 48:22
Amen
One of my morning prayers everyday goes like this: “Holy Spirit, please guide this Nation back to God and then to the consent of the governed.” In other words, to the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. We the people can do that through the second clause in Article V whose process has been used over 1000 times in the last 400 years. It is how God guided us into His Nation in the first place. God Bless America.
DEAR LORD
PLEASE MAKE ALL THE ALPHABET AGENCIES REFORM AND ELIMINATE ALL THE TRAITORS WHO ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS THE DEEP STATE. JAL THEMALL DEAR GOD. TEASON MUST BE PUNISHED
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Most excellent article that agrees with every prayer email & every prophet email I get. I add my copy of this article to my pile of how to pray for . . . . I’m not listing the probably 100s of things & people I pray for.
This is a lie. I have first-hand information that FEMA does not block Christians. You say in your article that ONE supervisor instructed her team to to skip houses with Trump signs, and that he or she was then fired. Given that militias were hunting FEMA workers, perhaps caution may have been the best path. But regardless of that, why would you make such an incendiary remark in your headline? Are you trying to continue to foment discord and division even now after the election? So disappointing. I am unsubscribing. God’s true intercessors would not be spreading lies.
Cheryl, I did not see any lies in this article. No one claimed that everyone in FEMA was complicit in not serving Christians or more accurately, Trump supporters. But one did. I didn’t see any remarks as incendiary either. I heard a call to recognize and contend with a demonic agenda in the governmental agencies of our nation. I came away thanking God that there are good and Godly men and women in these agencies doing their best in a climate that has probably become increasingly hostile toward their values and Biblical worldview – and asking the Lord to strengthen and bless them. I’m sorry you’re disengaging.
Wow- this was an excellent article. What a great prayer strategy. I will join in praying with you and the intercessors in God sending a west wind to blow away the evil plans of the deep state. Thanks for writing this.
I had a “talk” with the Lord about this same thing a week ago, and He used the same metaphor of a strong wind “knocking things over.” He cautioned me that when evil is demo’ed, there is an ugliness that remains for a while in the spots where it was. So we can expect that and not worry that what was done was not of the Lord.
I agree w/ that! And, as intercessors, we must keep grinding away in intercession &, when God calls us to, fasting! All the pieces are in place! But, as I said in my prayer, God told me that He had pulled the power & authority of the enemy so that he is no longer anointed to destroy America. So, we just keep in mind what God told u (which was a blessing to hear btw) & keep praying! Thanks, Kristy!
Kristy, your word also aligns with an intercessor that mentioned “rubble left behind” and “the need to rebuild” in the previous articles on Saturday. Lord, please grant this new administration the anointing to destroy what needs to be destroyed, but even just as or more important – the anointing to rebuild quickly but with excellence and wisdom. Please redeem the waste places, left behind by poor or even evil previous administration.
Last Monday night before Election Day I was listening to a prayer call by many Christian leaders here in the U.S. I had a vision of a wind blowing across and rustling the papers in the election places. I believe it was a sign of the Holy Spirit working through our prayers to affect the election outcomes. Not meaning to read too much into it, but as a Christ follower, I do believe it is a call to continue to pray fervently for God’s mercy and grace upon this great blessed nation. I continue to pray daily for His favor and mercy.
Wow, I love how God was talking to us all as we prayed thru it! Cool Word — that confirmed what God gave me! Yay! God bless u!
I joined you in the west wind prayer. Agree 💯. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8) 🎯
Our home was water surged by Helene.
FEMA was present and ready to process our desperate claim for help.
Their online system worked flawlessly.
Each agent I interacted with was knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely personal. They knew sacrifice because they had left family for 2-3 months to assist hurting people from both political parties.
Our claims were investigated and processed quickly and we received checks totaling in the thousands.
IMHO the person who said “skip Trump houses” was at core a bad person. They exist on both side me of the spectrum.

Thanks much, Joyce, for this article. And especially for the prayers…
Very precise and very useful.
Thank you for this article Joyce!
Father God, we thank You for what you have done & are going to do.
We plead the Precious Blood of Jesus over this nation & Trump’s team & families.
Protect Israel & America & help us to fight this battle in prayer & we know you will hear us!
We ask this in the Mighty Name of Jesus, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, amen!
As I was praying for our new government Sun. morning the Lord gave me a picture of a table all set
i immediately thought d Psalm 23-got up and prayed the whole psalm over our new administration and America.
Verse 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Thank You, LORD for Your continual work in bringing out into the open the things that are being done in secret, for exposing the workings of the demonic influence against You. Thank You that our eyes, ears, and hearts are open and opening more to hear and know Your will, that YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!
Powerful revelation prayer, in total agreement 🙌🙌
Lord, send that mighty wind, the wind of Your Spirit. Wind that blows hard will blow through cracks and crevices. In the high desert of New Mexico, the mighty wind blows the tumbleweeds somewhere else, as the wind cleanses the desert floor. Let the breath of Your Spirit blow into the crevices and cracks, the hidden places in the hearts of people. Cleanse all of us, O Great and Mighty God. Start with me. Amen.
David,
Thank you! Great encouragement! God’s blessings to you, as you stay strong and courageous to bring courage to others!
Praying that we as believers will not fall asleep at the wall!
The enemy is always on the move, and we as believers have to keep a steady focus on The Word of “GOD”,sharper than a two edged sword
We must be on guard against prideful heart’s.,and human agenda’s
We must not forget that “GOD IS IN CONTROL “
We as believer’s must never let fear enter the arena,
We must never give up!
When we think all is lost we must remember that God never looses, is never shaken, and will complete what HE HAS STARTED
Having that faith of a mustard seed
GOD IS, ALWAYS HAS BEEN,and ALWAYS WILL BE “IN CONTROL “
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!
Maranatha
And your post above Vicky made we weep in the Spirit for America and spiritual battle we face thru prayer and Fasting and the evidence that God has lifted his anointing to destroy America.
Lord Jesus, You know all about what is happening in Washington. I pray that the “deep state” will be held accountable for their actions, and that under the new
Trump administration, this behavior will cease in ALL government agencies. I pray for a greater measure of accountability within these agencies. Thank you, Jesus.
On Monday November 4, my prayer group, Cover Tennessee continued our prayer for our World, Nation, State, County, City, Community, Church, Leaders in the nation, our friends, families and for us. Ou focus was on the nation this day. Before prayer, after prayer and even on election morning, the wind was blowing in from the west at my home in Clarksville Tennessee. How do I know? I raised my hand and declared, like the wind I feel surrounding me, wind of the Holy Spirit blow away all the evil in our nation like you are blowing away the the winds from the…. I like my finger, stuck it in the air, turned and felt the wind coming from the west!
Only you could lead me to make such a declaration Holy Spirit! Unbeknowst to me, I was join my brothers and sisters in their prayers.
Praise God the west winds blew and continue to blow to remove evil from our nation!
Blow winds blow and care the evil plans of the enemy into the sea, IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. AMEN.
Lord, I agree w/ my brothers & sisters in IFA that ‘all will be revealed’ as President Trump & his team seek to drain the swamp. He’s gathered a good team, so please Lord help us to support him & YOUR plan (because for EVERYTHING You have a plan). Lord, Trump is Your King Cyrus for this season & You have equipped & trained him well. Please Lord, capture Trump’s heart & draw him close to You as he seeks to do Your will in this, the call You have put on His life. I pray that this wealthy man will be part of Your Kingdom family. Lord, You told me that the gates of hell would not prevail against this man & this election. & it did not prevail! You showed me that You have withdrawn the anointing to destroy America & Trump from the enemy & from the people who serve him. You showed me in a vision how the enemy had poured out his evil all over America (it looked like a black, inky darkness all over this land). Then, I suddenly saw it all sucked back down into the pit from which it came. And You said to me, “I have pulled their power & authority from them & they are no longer anointed to destroy America.”
So, Lord, we are now seeing the enemy forces in chaos & confusion & wailing over the fact that somehow they were tricked out of the victory. But You also gave me a scripture that basically said that we need fear no more, because in this whole thing You are preparing America for a higher purpose — to be a strong ally to Israel in these end times. You told me that THAT is why You allowed the Biden Administration to get into power these last four years — to wake up America & purge evil from America, & to bring her to her knees! And it is obvious that Your plan WORKED! So, help us, Lord, to come into alignment w/ Your holy plan for America & for Israel. Help us to co-labor w/ You in REGULAR fasting & deep groaning prayer to link arms w/ You & Your purpose! For some reason You have anointed President Trump for this holy task — help us to not get in Your way because we don’t like the way he looks or sounds or just plain does not fit into the box ‘we think’ he should stay in. Lord, You have given him a powerful ministry ‘of the deal’ — like no one else I’ve ever seen. He is a humble man, he is unbelievably wealthy (so he is less inclined to try to gain wealth from the office of the president— example: giving away his salary to charity last time), he has his own house in order, & he just flat out loves America! This is all no accident! You have equipped & trained this man & will continue to do so. So help us (his intercessors) to lay down our religious pride & just devote ourselves to pray (in agreement w/ You) for this man & mandate You have given him — to drain the swamp & make America great again! From Columbus to our time now — You have been preparing America to support & protect Israel. The last four years was crucial to that — like you told me. Please help us, in our feeble humanity, to rise to this occasion & lay down our lives for You, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
Vicky,
Thank you for that prayer. Did you know that the things you saw in the vision are very similar to Washington’s vision.. The darkness over the land and then it being taken away… You might want to read that, if you have not. God’s blessings to you!!
No I haven’t seen that. Where can find it?
Well, I prayed a long prayer in response to your prayer.. and I concur with my brothers and sisters here.. and the Lord knows I prayed.. but it did not post
In Jesus name, Amen
Amen and Amen! It’s no longer a “consiracy theory” – all the above and more. Yes, forgive, and yes we need our Lord and Savior to deliver us from evil.
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed ones of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed ones of God,
Be saved to sin no more.
4
E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save:
I’ll sing Thy power to save,
I’ll sing Thy power to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save.
Thank you! That made me cry. What a battle this has been! God bless you, brother!
