For the Lord delights in justice and forsakes not His saints; they are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked [in time] shall be cut off. (Ps 37:28 AMP-C)

I have felt the weariness of the watchmen on the wall. I have watched believers who were once ready to press through lose their zeal as we have seen delay during these election hearings. I have been warring in my personal life and in the spirit. It has been difficult, but I thank the Lord for the faithfulness of intercessors who have refused to back down. I thank the Lord for continuing words of encouragement and dreams coming to intercessors to share so we can pray.

Intercessor, thank you for holding the line. This is a critical moment we are in. Your intercession is vital and every prayer matters.

I sought the Lord for prayer focus in the beginning of December. I usually ask,” Lord, how do you want me to pray about this? What is on Your heart?” He spoke one word, “Justice.” I took it seriously because justice is who God is. The very character of God is justice and righteousness. During that week as I prayed for justice I felt the Lord say, “There is a shaking coming to the judicial system.” I wrote the word down as another prayer point. As the days went on, I pressed in and the Lord gave me three specific prayer points in one week. He mentioned prayer for William Barr, “The 9” (the Supreme Court), and the Department of Justice. Every person the Lord highlighted plays a part in our judicial system. I also am aware that these people are losing favor with Christians right now because of their actions.

I do not know what shaking is coming. Since the Lord asked me to focus on justice, I have been praying to see corruption removed from our judicial system. Here is how you can pray.

1. Former Attorney General William Barr/Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen

Barr has been in the headlines quite a bit and especially yesterday and today after resigning from the position of Attorney General. First we saw that he had kept the Hunter Biden probe out of the press to avoid election interference, and then we heard he resigned. We don’t know what went on behind the scenes, but he and President Trump had a friendly exchange and then nothing but positive things to say about each other. I know the Lord asked me to intercede for him, and I was obedient. I know the Lord said “shake up” and this is certainly a shake up! I will immediately begin praying for acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen. Will you join me in praying for Rosen to take a stand for righteousness and display courage?

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”  (Dt 31:6)

Father, we lift up Jeff Rosen to you. You placed him in this office for the exact moment we are in right now. We pray he would be filled with Your Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Give him strength to fulfill the job he has before him. Give him courage in times of adversity to take a stand for truth, righteousness, and justice. In Jesus’ Name.

2. Supreme Court “The 9”

The Lord has directed me, and many of you, to intercede for the Supreme Court for years. We can’t stop now. Ever since the swearing in of Amy Coney Barrett, Christians have been hopeful, and rightfully so. However, please do not let her presence on the court make you lax in your intercession.

We cannot presume to know how they will vote, but we can pray for God to touch the heart of each justice to vote righteousness. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision that essentially rejected Texas’s election lawsuit, many are confused. Let’s continue to pray for the Supreme Court in pursuit of justice. There is a heavenly courtroom where we can appeal. I am praying and believing for victory.

Then I will give you good judges again and wise counselors like you used to have. Then Jerusalem will again be called the home of justice and the faithful city.

Zion will be restored by justice; those who repent will be revived by righteousness. (Is 1:26,27)

Father, we lift up each justice by name. We lift up John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer. We appeal to the courts of heaven on behalf of the Supreme Court. Father, we pray that You would move over the heart of each justice to vote rightly. We pray against any compromise or fear of man. May each justice have a reverent fear of You Lord. We pray even for the hardest hearts seated in those courts, that You the God of justice would encounter them. How can we have true justice with a corrupted system? Shake the judicial system as You said You would. Remove corruption from the highest courts in our nation, down to circuit and district courts, until justice and righteousness are the foundation of America once again. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

3. Department of Justice (DOJ)

The DOJ are the law enforcers at the highest levels in our nation. Their job is to protect citizens from threats whether foreign or domestic. They are to uphold the law with justice and integrity with no partiality. The DOJ is now led by Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen. Under the DOJ are several divisions such as the FBI, the DEA, countless U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Marshalls, and divisions covering everything from domestic violence, organized crime, civil rights and more. We do not have to look very far, especially in the last administration, to see how corruption filled many of these divisions. If we are to see justice, then we must have people of integrity in these seats.

Father, we lift up the Department of Justice. We contend to see justice in our land once again. Prune the judicial branch of our government and remove every fruitless, dead branch. Expose corruption, bribery, extortion, and more from these high places of authority. Remove the unrepentant, who refuse to turn from their wickedness, from their position and increase the numbers of those who will uphold justice and walk with integrity in their place. This department was created to give us impartial justice. Father, we will not back down until we see that justice once again in Jesus’ name, amen.

Justice reflects the character of God. The Bible tells us clearly that God does not overlook injustice and evil. He is a just God. However, timing is God’s and not ours. Sometimes we may grow weary or frustrated while waiting, but rest assured knowing that justice will be carried out. Isaiah 30:18 says, The Lord God is a God of justice, blessed are all those who wait for him.

While reading Luke 18 (the story of a persistent woman and an unjust judge) what really stood out to me was the persistence of this woman who refused to be denied. Nothing would stop her from the pursuit of justice. I love Jesus’ reply:

“Don’t you know that God, the true judge, will grant justice to all of his chosen ones who cry out to him night and day? He will pour out his Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and give you what you ask for. God will give swift justice to those who don’t give up. Yet when the Son of Man comes back, will he find this kind of persistent faithfulness in his people?” (Lk 18:7-8 TPT)

So be ever praying, ever expecting, just like the widow was with the judge. Justice will come to those who do not give up. We could be so close to the answer. Let’s not back down or give up now.
