The first speaker was very disappointing. Anyone could come up with the conclusions and stats, of 100 million Christians in America, out of nowhere. It was hard to forbare waiting for the second speaker.

Yes, it is all abt what our Lord is after, not what we say we want. It is easy to become stagnant, distracted, too busy in these days. We get off the real track of why we are here. First and foremost, it is to glorify our Lord and enjoy Him forever. Then, we are here for the furtherance of His kingdom. We have a mission. Forgive us, O Lord, for distractions, vanities, wrong priorities, lazyness. Help us to get our heads turned around and wake up while there is still time. He desires to do a new thing in each of us, who love the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of glory. His banner over us is His Love. Let us take hold of that banner, hold it high, wake up and march forward. Pray and pray some more. Trust and obey. Put off the flesh and put on Jesus. We anticipate the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit bringing down a revival which has not been seen in these days. Lord, may it be so!!

I love that they said the Church is God’s darling. Father, give grace to your people that we may react like Jesus rather than with hatred and anger! May we walk in your love, not accepting evil, but not hating others.

I found the pastors message to coincide with much of my sense of things. I too have been putting Mercy with Justice in my prayers. I agree with his words re Jesus wanting to ‘upgrade’/stir up and cleanse with fire the current Church. And I see with the pastor that He wants her to be a healthy Church for new believers to grow in. Amen!!

The scripture is clear we don’t always know how to pray as we need/ or want. So, we pray in the Spirit for his will to be done. Yet many times we pray, what we want done. The Church has many on the fence we saw that during 9/11 at least for a short period of time many came & went out from us, so many are lukewarm. Sometimes fire purifies or refines all of us, or many will fall away & what is left is the Bride of Christ without spot or wrinkle. I am always reminded of the seed sower when it comes to the Church. 1 out of 4 fell on good soil. Lord lead us guide us by your Spirit & not look to the world or things around us, purify our hearts for your name sake we pray.

I think Mike is right about the church. Too many are still not walking that close to God and we do need a great revival to change hearts. And whoever wins the presidency we know God is still in. Charge. We must trust Him.

More talking heads. ‘Experts’ or ‘Prophets’. Can’t tell you the outcome of the election… but cover both bases so they’re correct no matter what. Silly. Foolishness in the church today… passing off as ‘hearing from God’. The church needs a spiritual awakening. And God is always trying to wake up the church. Desperate for that to happen. If it doesn’t… judgment is next.

In the book of Kings (2 Kings 6), the Bible describes how God provides an army of angels leading horses and chariots of fire to protect the prophet Elisha and his servant and opens the servant’s eyes so that he can see the angelic army surrounding them.

So true! God wants His church on fire but youth must be taught how to pray, how to stand in adverse times. So many churches no longer have Sunday school where youth learn the Bible and the ways of God.

I was just watching the March by Pres. Trump’s Supporters in DC today Nov,14,2020. Although there were MANY people there, NO bricks were being thrown, NO fires were being set, NO looting was taking place, No spitting on police, NO RIOTING, etc, etc!!!!! One person said they thought there could be 100,000 people there & another said an even larger number. I don’t know how many were there, but they made me proud to see such a peaceful March. We may be called “Deplorables” or “Trump’s Chumps” but we are the BRIDE of CHRIST!!! I pray we do what God told Joshua to do as he entered the Promise Land, “Be strong and courageous.” I pray we stand for God like David did when he fought Goliath. I pray we will see God’s deliverance like Daniel did from the lions, like the 3 men thrown in the furnace, like the Jews did when Esther called for a fast, and like Israel did when God opened the Red Sea before them. WE have a mighty God. Nothing is impossible for HIM. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.

I think he is right about the Church. The need is great for us to manifest the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Kindness and acceptance should flourish.

    We need to speak the truth in love, with grace, including confession of our own pharisaic self-righteousness, and humbling ourselves before, and seeking forgiveness from, those we have maligned, who were only lost sheep without a Shepherd. Jesus said “Follow Me”

This is a very timely article and a call to the body of Christ.
I can confirm what is being said to us from these gentlemen.
For a few years recently, I was continually praying for justice in our nation. Like many both in and outside the body Christ, I saw and could literally feel the weight of corruption in our land and especially from those purported to be “serving us”. But most of us saw through the words that were being told us for the last 2 decades from shifty people who talked accountability but did nothing.
So like many, I prayed for justice and the law to breakthrough and catch up. But a few months back, God started to scrape away at my heart and told me to pray for “justice with mercy”. Those were the exact words. And God, in his infinite wisdom and grace, explained why.
Note – I will be submitting an article to IFA for review concerning this in more detail. I would ask each of you reading this to ask God in helping me to bring this article to you.

I remember hearing a prophetic message that said the Church is in for a shock. Well, the shock came. I believe we need to focus on the revival and not the politics. We need to brace ourselves, but we need to rejoice in our calling and relationship to God. Jesus said we would have trouble but to be of good cheer, to be happy, because He has overcome the world. Instead of seeking God, we have been seeking political solutions. God wants to show mercy to the unbelievers and our zeal for politics has put up huge walls that make it hard for people to see Jesus in his people. God have mercy on us that we don’t throw away our mandate to go and preach the kingdom. That’s always been our number one calling.

Amen. The lukewarm church beware. The heat is coming and you need to prepare for the volume of Prodigals making a u-turn today. We don’t want them being steered to churches of compromise. Get your houses of worship in order for God is on the move.

Not so sure about Aaron Burden’s message. In crude summary he says its either this or that, and by the way this is what counts … I don’t know what I don’t know. But I do know that scripture says very clearly, that God is not the author of confusion, 1 Corinthians 14:33. And, we have the mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16.

I also know that God is not asleep (Psalm 121:4) and He is up to fulfilling His plan (Isaiah 55:11). It’s for us to get in right position with Him.

I am continually, earnestly seeking to understand God’s will, and praying specifics, unselfishly.

I personally wholeheartedly believe, that the Democratic agenda is to take God out of America. Those who can’t see this are blinded by the mind blinding spirit (demon). Also, my prayer is that this mind blinding spirit be canceled in the name of Jesus.

Those who sow seeds of corruption, deception and ungodliness, whether you be Democrat or Republican, woe to you. For God says vengeance is Mine (Deuteronomy 32:35).

Solomon also warns us of the consequences to the wicked of slow or no discipline, Ecclesiastes 8:11-13.

Our prayer is revival in all areas of this nation where there is plenty of liberty and freedom for America and your families: that the LORD ALMIGHTY intervene for America and our families : while children of this nation are in rebellious stand : just like Isaiah 30 we will see GOD OF HEAVEN intervention bringing revival with brandishing fire of the HOLY SPIRIT KADOSH: like when Israel was on the March to the red sea a pillar of fire at night and a cloud of refreshing mercy change by day. We stand up for America and our families in the gap for our nation and her people: in the name of JESUS YESHUA who was given to us by ABBA THE FATHER our CREATOR: which is above all names.

Father God,
Your church has been called by You to be an influence on the world. Your Son, Jesus, used the illustrations of salt and light. If we are to ‘be salt’ we need to deliberately seek to influence people by showing them the unconditional love of Christ through kindness and good deeds. To ‘be light’ means to be a witness to others concerning the truth of Your Word, especially about who Christ is and how He died and rose again for our salvation. By the power of Your Holy Spirit, help us, Your Church to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3)

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9 NKJV

    We are aware,Lord, that unless sin is revealed, there will be no true repentance. As You continue to expose the deception and lies, continue to purify Your church. Let us be ready to demonstrate the love and light of Jesus to those in darkness.

The accuser is showing up every where you look and is working hand in hand with the spirit of offense
PRAY PRAY PRAY FOR THE PERSON BEING PIT FORTH AS THE ENEMY BY your REAL ENEMY…he is sitting back and laughing because we are swallowing the bait to COME OUT OF STANDING IN FAITH BELIEVING IN JESUS TO FIGHT AND CONTEND WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO BEING USED TGE SAME WAY
my mom said that the only real fight that she and her sister ever had was when someone they were both close to went to each of them and told them something the other had done which was not true…the fight almost came to blows until they both heard the third party on another level of the house they were in laughing at them and slapping their knees having a grand time listening to the fight that would have divided my mom and her sister for a very long time. My mom said that her and her sister at that very instant forgot their fight and walk down before the third party with their arms wrapped around one another and they never raised their voices to oneanother again. They are both in heaven. They were buried side by side. Though there were over a decade of years between their ages they died 6 months apart. They vowed to love oneanother from that day when they knew they had been duped by any enemy who could never get between them until the day they each died.
🗣🔥💨🔥AMERICANS, LOVE ONE ANOTHER…LET EXPOSURE BRING US HEALING IN THE END…DO NOT DEVOUR ONE ANOTHER BUT LEARN WHO AND WHAT YOUR TRUE enemy IS!! I pray in Jesus’ Name that there would be healing healing HEALING AMONGST US AMEN Oh Lord Jesus let it be so with Your Yes and Amen

9 minute video HAMMER AND SCORECARD

https://parler.com/post/20ed6b906b434b718da9a13daabc735b

United States Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney has first hand knowledge of the HAMMER and Scorecard—developed by NSA/CIA the software was manipulated to change votes / results for this election, and in 2012 by the previous administration.

Can Sydney Powell prove this and get it to the Supreme Court quickly?

This teaching is in line with my beliefs. Jesus is our teacher. He teaches us how to behave; to love one another, but also in speaking the truth. The body of Christ is in transition. God does need His church to walk in love.

I keep hearing statements from both sides (including from both Pres. Trump and Joe Biden) that may sound good but are not biblical, statements about how the soul of America is at stake. That statement makes no sense but has a nice ring. Humans have souls, not countries. It is ‘We the People’ that need to change our souls and walk in love. We need to lead by example and let God tweak our mind, our will and our ways, regardless of how we feel emotionally, and start lining up with the Word and with our Lord and Savior. America (and as they say, her soul) can not change unless ‘We the People’ change and walk in love.

How do we do that? That is the tough part, right? To think before we speak. To sometimes zip our lip. Words matter. Our actions matter. We don’t need to argue every detail. We should watch our words. We need to show love. We always need to speak the truth but with kindness. There will still be riots and pressure and evil abounding, but as the body of Christ, our demeanor must be different in order to make sense to the unbeliever. Our words and actions must be reflective of our Lord and reflect back to Him. I too struggle with this, regardless, loving the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind (our soul), and loving our neighbor as ourselves is vital to Christianity. Jesus tells us these are the 2 most important commandments. It is our souls that need to line up with God first. As we lead as Jesus’ disciples only the so called soul of America will change because we did. God is calling on us.

As disciples we are to carry the gospel to all the world, first and foremost. We don’t do that by casting stones. Jesus is the Living Word. And we are to carry His message with our feet, hands and mouth. We do what He would do if He were walking amongst us. We have not been. This is most important. What good is winning the presidency if all we do is cast stones? So I agree that God is preparing His body to be patient, kind, long suffering, not boastful, gentle, non provoking, etc, etc, but also in speaking the truth.

We also must let God do His part, as He is the Lord and Savior. We are not going to fix this country or this world, He is. He will do it one soul at a time. When we work, God rests. When we rest, God works. Our job is to trust Him, pray, and be truthful as it is the truth that sets us free (God’s Truth and all truth), and to walk in love. As we turn the other cheek, just as Jesus’ did, while speaking the truth, God will do His job on behalf of His church.

Lord, help each one of us to walk in love as you did. Help us to change ourselves first. Help us to speak truth but to be merciful towards others as none of us are perfect. We all need You Lord.

Excellent perspective. Great wisdom in explaining we need the proper atmosphere in our churches, a fire in our hearts, to be prepared to guide the new believers coming into our midst. I’ve been praying for the 3rd great awakening to fall upon America for the past several years and of late have been praying that God pour out His heart transforming love upon all of us…. love that will put a fire back in the hearts of believers and squash the Luke warm spirit in many of us, but that same heart transforming love can and I believe will, melt the hate that is blinding the people. Thank you for this inspiring message. God bless you.

Around the year 2000 a group of national prayer leaders came together for a Summit after 12 years of Concerts of Prayer for revival involving thousands of churches in over a hundred cities. They went before the Lord with the question “what will the next revival in the church and in the nation look like?” The answer received in consensus was that the next revival, beginning in the church, would come in the wake of suffering. Words like Mike Bickle’s, other prophetic statements, and my own sense in the spirit not only confirm that, but feel that this suffering is about to come upon us. It has led me to pray with daily intensity that His people in the US be made ready.

    Yes the trials are what purify us in the furnace to make us come forth as more pure gold. Also if you look at the past revivals the CHURCH is where it started with repentance , confession, and awakened to seeing compromise. Jonathon Edwards sermon ‘sinners in the hands of an angry God’ helped turn ‘Holy Spirit lights’ on in the congregation. Then many were brought into the kingdom. May it be so again Lord… we need You – please help us to hate our sin and love all that is dear to You. Do the work in our hearts for Your glory.
