I Prayed have prayed
Lord, the battle is Yours! Show us how to stand.
Reading Time: 6 minutes

This is a message for the Body of Christ in America, and particularly to the company of saints who have prayed and fasted with us over the past several months.

But let me warn you up front, some of you are likely to be pretty ticked off by the time I finish; indeed, if you haven’t found something to object to by the end of this message, you probably weren’t paying attention. That’s OK though, I’m not trying to win a popularity contest, so let’s begin.

I’ll start by laying my cards on the table. 

I was never a big Trump supporter. Being a Texan, I voted for Ted Cruz in the primary. Like many other Christians I was very much put off by Trump’s pride, immaturity, pettiness and boorish behavior. That’s largely because I also tend to reflect some of those qualities, and it takes one to know one. Trump comes across to many as a smart-ass, know-it-all adolescent bully and even though I voted for him over Hillary, it was not the most satisfying vote I’ve ever cast.

The same can be said about my vote for Trump in the recent election. But again, what other choice did I have? For all his personal flaws, Trump has stood up for – and actively pursued – a number of the issues that are most important to me. The sanctity of life, secure borders, criminal justice reform, confronting China over trade and intellectual property issues, enterprise zones in minority communities, less government regulation, historically low unemployment, First Amendment rights, canceling the Iran nuclear agreement, conservative judicial appointments, forcing NATO to pony up their fair share . . . . Though I would have liked him to take on other matters with equal fervor – and though he spends money like a drunken billionaire – he has nevertheless addressed more of the things on my list than any president in my lifetime.

Like many other believers, I was heavily involved in various prayer initiatives on behalf of our country over the past several years, and was even called to start a couple myself. And like most of America, on Election night I was glued to the television watching the returns come in. When I went to bed, it appeared that Trump was on a strong course to win the election – not with a landslide, necessarily, but with a convincingly strong majority. And I was happy about that.

Then came Wednesday morning. Checking the news over my morning coffee, the landscape appeared to be shifting rapidly. Trump’s lead was narrowing – even disappearing – in many of the battleground states in which he had previously been ahead. As the days wore on, it appeared that he might not be victorious after all. On the one hand, this was a matter of serious concern and sadness to me, for I knew what a Biden presidency would bring. On the other hand, I was willing to accept it with grace and thanksgiving: if – after all the months and years of fervent, continuous intercession – this was to be the result, I knew that God had His reasons and I accepted the inevitable outcome by faith, knowing that His ways are greater than my ways, and that He would cause all things to work together for my good and His glory.

 Hallelujah, thank you Lord, case closed.

But that didn’t prevent me from being angry at Trump. That’s right, it wasn’t Biden, Pelosi or the Democrats I was upset with, but Trump himself. I mean, anyone could have won this election – it was his to lose! How could you not win? The Democrats were promoting efforts to defund the police. For years they had not only allowed, but vigorously defended the free speech and criminal actions of leftist protesters on college campuses as those very same protesters violently denied the free speech of conservative students in the name of political correctness. They not only condoned, but supported and encouraged Antifa and BLM as they wreaked havoc in cities across America, burning, looting and beating as they went. No compassion was shown to the shopkeepers or to innocent citizens (many of whom were minorities) whose communities were being destroyed.

The Democrats promote and celebrate a woman’s right to kill her own child even to the point of actual full-term birth (aka, infanticide), yet are so concerned about the spread of Covid that they are willing to put untold thousands of businesses and millions of employees out of work while driving up addiction and suicide rates. They support the Green New Deal that would clearly bankrupt a country that already had a national debt exceeding 20 trillion dollars.

I could go on, but you get the picture. Any candidate with a pulse could have beaten Biden, but because of our crass, mouthy president, he managed to lose it. Shame on Trump for finding a way to blow what should have been one of the biggest election landslides in our country’s history.

Those were my thoughts the day after the election.

 But now I’m sitting here three weeks later, pondering all that has occurred since then. And as new election details are being released, the light is beginning to dawn. Yes, God DID hear our prayers. Yes, He IS answering them. But He is doing so in a way that none of us could possibly have foreseen. (At least no one in my little circle.)

It appears that we are on the verge of a reveal so large, so wide and so deep that the entire world will be shaken to its core. I’m not a prophet, but it’s my firm conviction that our lives may be changed in ways that most of us would never have thought possible. I’m not saying that everything is going to go smoothly – it is not. Nor am I suggesting that we are on the verge of a new world order. But I do strongly believe that the lid of corruption is about to be blown off with such force that there will be no turning back.

 Had Ted Cruz been elected, would this have happened? No. How about Rubio, Jeb Bush or any of the others? Definitely not. No offense to any of them, but there is no way that what is now happening in the 2020 Election would ever have transpired had they been running for President.

 No, this could only have occurred under the snarky, rude and thoroughly irritating President Donald J. Trump. There is no individual on the planet who could have gotten under the skin of the leftists to the degree that Trump has. Not a one. Not even close. Trump’s insulting, over-the-top demeanor was the only thing that could have accomplished what is presently unfolding before our very eyes. The enemy was so enraged at every thing that came out of his mouth (and Twitter feed), that they were no longer able to think coherently. Their anger caused them to take very dangerous risks. Their delusion convinced them that everyone else felt the same way they did. Their own condescending arrogance (every bit as elevated as the President’s, only more insidious and hypocritical), led them to believe that they were invincible; that they had finally and fully gamed the system and that there was no way they could ever be caught.

 In other words, Trump has not just kicked the hornets’ nest. For the past four years, he has been whaling on that nest to such a degree that there are no more hornets in it. They have finally all come out, en masse, in a fury of blind hatred seeking to chase him into the abyss. And now they are all fully exposed and finding to their horror that there is no more nest to return to.

Not only that, the abyss to which they thought they were driving the President turns out to be a rabbit hole that not even Lewis Carroll could have conjured up. Talk about things being turned inside out and twisted beyond all recognition! Every stratagem, argument, and procedure the left has erected against our President over the past four years is now firmly set in place. The very infrastructure designed to bring down the current administration is fittingly prepared to be employed for the investigation, prosecution and conviction of the guilty, and Haman’s gallows stand at the ready.

 In a turn befitting Joseph and his brothers, God has accomplished the Cloward Pivot. Through their own disingenuity, the left has indeed succeeded in bringing down the establishment, but not quite in the manner they intended. Indeed, they have met the enemy, and he is them.

 God called His people to humble themselves and repent. The question was, would we obey? It turns out that the answer was yes – there has been more prayer and fasting; more genuine repentance; more unity in the faith; more crossing of ethnic, racial and denominational lines; more seeking after God in the last few years than perhaps ever in history. And it is now the Lord’s turn to act.

We humbly pleaded before the throne of God that He would hear our prayer and heal our land, and it would appear as if that is precisely what He has on His mind. Saints, it is time that we rise to our feet, raise our hands and praise the King of Kings and Lord of Lords for our deliverance. For His victory is sure and His glory far outshines the darkest rat hole.

The battle is not over saints, we are just now entering the second phase of The Cleansing. It will get dirty and dangerous as Satan marshals his scattered troops for a counterattack. Don’t put away your spiritual armor, but take up the Sword of the Spirit and the Shield of Faith for the work of the Church is not yet done. We must continue to pray and fast until this election is settled once and for all, because our battle must be won in the heavenly places. And fight we will with the choir leading the way, singing songs of praise and thanksgiving to Him who brings justice to the oppressed and righteous judgment to all who would dare come against His people.

 There are times when God chooses to work through a King Josiah, and times when He selects a King Nebuchadnezzar.

Thank You Father, for President Trump and Your unfathomable wisdom, for Your ways are marvelous in our sight, and we cannot comprehend them.

“The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.” (Prv 21:1)

I didn’t want President Trump to be our president. I too wanted Ted Cruise. But I’ve since learned that God made him brash for a reason. Look how many of the cockroaches he’s brought out into the open. I’ve read articles and wonderful things he’s done for people behind the scenes that we don’t even know about. Best President we’ve had for a long time! God gets all the Glory!

this is a balanced perspective on Pres Trump. thank you for having been so open to your feelings. “The Case for Trump” opened my understanding why many people don’t like him. May we all continue to pray for our President because we know GOD IS ANSWERING our prayers.

I dont find Trumps personality offensive at all. I guess this is because I grew up around New Yorkers so I am used to their personalities. Besides, you dont vote for a personality. You vote for policies. He is on the right side of everything that is good and Godly in this country. I think you really have to look past the rough exterior to see someone who has a genuine love for people and for this country. That’s just my opinion. He’s probably accomplished more in his 1st term than any other President in the United States.

Frankly, I like Trump’s “boorishness”. I didn’t in 2016, when he insulted Carly Fiorina and others so sophomorically. But, that attitude has been perfect against a Leftist / pagan movement that had been building up and deeply entrenching itself in all areas of our nation.

I hope the author’s right on this. I do not want a Biden presidency with China (now working to get a foothold in the Caribbean), with media giants like Youtube (censoring anti-Leftist speech), with the Durham investigation / report still pending… the prospect of national lockdowns… and so much more.

At first, I too, found President Trump, rather crass and offensive but after reading his book, The Art Of The Deal, and understanding how his mind works and that he is a tough guy from Queens, New York, I began to see how he was/is exactly the person we need for such a time as this. Some may call him a bully but he STANDS UP to bullies like no other and that is why so many of us have supported him and continue to pray for his success against those who wish to destroy what God and our forefathers give us. God gave him the ability, or personality, if you will, to deal with all that has been thrown at him without breaking and we will continue to stand with him as we face this pivotal time in American history.

This article resonates deeply in my heart. Thank you for sharing!! I’m praying for America, and I have been wondering if President Trump is experiencing a Nebuchadnezzar moment where the Lord is calling him to repentance…? I am praying for him. Praying for the Church to repent (as you mentioned much repentance has already taken place, with more needed…). I have done much soul-searching myself this year, and have spent a great deal of time praying and fasting for our nation. Trusting the Lord and seeking to be a peacemaker. This is the call He has placed on my heart. Peacemaker vs. peacekeeper… Being a peacemaker is not an “easy” job, and I know it can only be done with the guidance and strength and direction of the Lord. Praying for a great awakening from sea to shining sea and a great outpouring of God’s Spirit all across our land, that our nation may once again be like a “lighthouse” – shining God’s Light brightly into the world.

Lord, the battle is Yours. Show us how to stand! What a powerful entrance to a great article! In January 2019 the Lord impressed on me to pray, rather reluctantly in the beginning, Psalm 5 on a daily basis. My heart is to pray for the lost. I came to realize so many of the lost were being led away from Christ, from truth because of false teachers. It was very difficult for me to pray that “they” (false teachers) be cast out when I have been called to pray for the lost. But God . . . Has a plan and purpose. He has me praying Psalm 5 now for the government of the United States. As a side note, Michelle Bachman sent out a cry to fast and pray and also referenced Psalm 5. God’s word is alive (Hebrews 4:12) and does not return to Him empty! (Isaiah 55:10-11) I pray now for President Trump and Vice President Pence (their families, and ALL involved!) the last two verses of Psalm, in particular the verse 12, “For You bless the righteous O Lord, You cover him with favor as with a shield.” I encourage you to read and pray Psalm 5! Thank you again for this honest article!

We must continue to stand in prayer and fasting, for Trump, Pence, their legal teams, and the legislators in the swing states, knowing that the Lord is faithful to answer our cry. He will answer in a huge way. I do believe that if any other candidate had won the 2016 election–Democrat, Socialist, or Republican–our country would have already been made into a banana republic, because I don’t see anyone else who has been able to stand up against the globalists/New World orderists, especially in the face of China. Trump and Pence are the only ones I’ve seen who have not backed down or compromised in the face of opposition. Several public figures exhibited a critical spirit; some compromised or rode the fence; some are weighted down with personal ambitions, which mindset is too small. I don’t know of any political figure who has consistently seen the BIG PICTURE, like Trump has, and been able to rally teams of people as well as take proactive measures in response to crises (restricting travel to/from covid-infected nations, speeding up the development of a vaccine, barring trade between us and rogue nations, removing ISIS). Sometimes he took action even before the disaster struck (e.g., bringing relief supplies to areas even before the hurricanes hit their area). Yes, Trump is rough around the edges; he’s a new Christian. But he also works tirelessly to constantly stand in the way of the evil that keeps coming against this nation from many different angles. The lawsuits that he’s bringing against some of the swing states concerning the elections costs at least $8million each. I see his service as our president as a labor of love. So far, those on the left have ignored subpeonas, have hidden or destroyed evidence, lied on the witness stand, locked up innocent people…their corruption knows no bounds. They’ve had no problem running over mild-mannered, respectful people (e.g., Flynn). They don’t respond to “You’re breaking the law! Stop that!” They respond to “You’re a no-good *^*^ and you’re going down.” My point is that, since they have responded to legal and reasonable confrontations about their rogue behavior simply with more lawlessness, it’s taken Trump’s “rough” confrontations to expose their corruption to the world, just like Mr. Nauck said. We are blessed! Yes, let us continue to stand together in this battle through prayer and fasting and worship–God is faithful! He is listening! He’s also training us for spiritual war. We are the army that He’s raising up for the last days. Ezek. 37 and 2 Tim. 2:3-4.

    ..and we did not vote for a saint, who is perfect anyway? Only GOD is perfect. praise God for President Trump. He answered HIS call to be HIS instrument of bringing God back to the government, to schools even to the justice system. the people who are not ready are having a difficult time to cope, so prayer are of the essence. “Be still and know that I AM GOD”.

I was intrigued by the commentary, wondering how it would it end. I must agree with what was said, only God could have chosen such a fighter as President Trump to become the President of the United States of America. One who will not give up in the middle of the fight. Now, it our turn to stand and trust God as He brings about the deliverance we have been fasting and praying for. God is faithful to watch over His word to perform it. The battle is not ours it is the Lord, all we must do is stand and see the deliverance of the Lord. Let’s keep the faith as we continue to believe in what only God can do. In Jesus name, Amen.

I have to say this is the funniest support article on our beloved President Donald J. Trump. Made my day as the truth is the truth. Its not a personality contest for President, it is a decision based founded issues effecting this country and the foundation of freedom we have all been offered. Ignorance is no excuse as has been said by many many people. Ignorance is not Bliss. Be informed and make informed decisions and comments and respect can be expected.

God chose the only man who would be able to stand up against hell itself. He is only a man. Each christian needs to repent and thank God for His choice of Trump. Not one of God’s choices in the Bible were perfect. Accept Christ. Repent. God’s choices are His to make. I am sure He searched for a perfect man with our president’s strength of character but found none.Thank God for Trump!!!

You are right you were never a Trump supporter.
I hope you recognize we are to be “Fruit” inspectors – not judges of a person(s).
Your musings show a remarkable naivety and/ or purposeful ignorance — would this have happened with Cruz etc.
I was 1st and foremost a Dr. Carson support financially and by prayer and then Cruz.
But, after the people spoke and I looked at the spineless “wimps” I had supported in the past I realized we needed a President like Trump.

P.S. My wimps description does not include Dr. Carson and Cruz.

I have read Kurt’s words twice and find a brother in Christ who chose to believe that he could be honest before God and his fellow brothers and sisters at this site. I see a man willing to humble himself, even to ridicule, to share how his Father – our Father – the potter has been shaping him over the last few years for the Holy Spirit’s use in encouraging the body. If grace for differences cannot be found here, how will we ever reach the world for our Lord? “Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.” Romans 14:3.

    Thank you Penny, your words of encouragement and support are much appreciated. My essay was an attempt to bridge the gap between those who have had such a difficult time accepting Trump’s manner and those who think he can do no wrong. Ultimately, I believe both sides wind up standing in the same place. If we can get there with more understanding and less condemnation, our purposes will be much better served.

    Bless you, Kurt

      Kurt, I have been blessed by the insights, prayers and praises of IFA followers many times over. I am so grateful for those who share as the Holy Spirit leads them. Never, in my walk with Jesus, have I been so aware of evil’s efforts to divide and conquer God’s domain. Though I believe every living Christian has been called for this time of spiritual warfare, I fear we are unprepared to stand as one against the enemy. I wonder how much destruction the church will endure, how much each of us must fall, before we are united in true repentance for failing Christ’s command, “…that you love one another: just AS I HAVE LOVED you…” John 13:34. I fear the world’s system of separating people by association is threatening even our resolve to live out Christ’s call amongst ourselves.

Better late than never to realize Trump is of God. Only he knows whether is is saved through Christ, but that isn’t really the point. Trump has done more things for freedom and faith than any president in modern times. It’s unfortunate you didn’t see that during his first term—I find myself irritated with legalists who can only see the “brute” in Trump. He is so very much more.

    I don’t like everything about Trump but I wouldn’t like everything about anyone, even myself….
    I pray that God chooses to intervene in this election fraud…I wish I could be optimistic that God hasn’t written off the USA….too much ungodly behavior and willful disobedience by Christians…..
    Have we crossed the line for good?

Oh, Father God, how I agree with Kurt Nauck’s assessment of the situation in our country right now. I believe You heard our prayers and the Truth will be revealed of lying, cheating and downright evil exposed to the Light. Lord, give us patience and faith to continue to pray as we wait for the Truth to come forth — Truth that will save our Republic from disaster. For those who have given up and given in, awaken them, I pray, O Lord, to the fact that this battle is Your’s and all you want from us is to rest in faith and wait for Your divine timing and intervention. I pray all of this in the mighty Name of Jesus for His glory. Amen

      Marcie: I don’t understand your reply unless you are saying I am judging. 38 other people agreed with me, but you sounded like you judged me. I’m sorry if you disagree, but we will have to agree to disagree based on the Bible that there are certain things that God hates listed in Proverbs 6: lying, cheating, killing innocents, sowing discord are among them.

Praise God! You have expressed so many of my feelings and concerns. I wondered what God was doing with this election; I was puzzled but with expectancy because DJT is the Pro-Life President. However, God absolutely took my breath away post election! The cries of our 60 million babies are louder than ever before. Of all of our former Presidential candidates, only a DJT truly heard their cries. That’s what these political struggles are about. Thank you for your post; God’s ways are marvelous! May the Holy Spirit host a great revival in America.

Well, Mr Nauck you accomplished your intended goal: to get some of us “ticked off, ” I’m one, but I was also saddened by what your comments said about yourself. With all due respect Sir, you come across as a self-righteous, condescending, snarky, insulting, rude believer.

I’m just confirming what you said about yourself when enumerating the President’s “all his personal flaws”: “That’s largely because I also tend to reflect some of those qualities, and it takes one to know one.”

Here is a list of all those flaws of the President as you see them:

“Trump’s pride, immaturity, pettiness and boorish behavior. “

“a smart-ass, know-it-all adolescent bully”

“spends money like a drunken billionaire” (An impossibility since our President doesn’t drink.)

“the snarky, rude and thoroughly irritating President Donald J. Trump”.

“Trump’s insulting, over-the-top demeanor”

And in your following remarks, you even compare our President with his enemies:

“Their own condescending arrogance ( every bit as elevated as the President’s, only more insidious and hypocritical)”

But to your credit, you cut the President some slack. His “condescending arrogance” is not quite as insidious and hypocritical as his enemies’.

I’m very sorry that twice voting for President Trump brought you little satisfaction, but you said “what other choice did I have?”

Thankfully, that didn’t happen to me and to many other Christians. We have no regrets about choosing to vote twice for our President. On his first term, unlike other presidents, he has kept many, if not all of the promises he made. By his actions we’ve seen that he unapologetically loves our country and its people. He desires to protect the unborn. AND he was not ashamed to hold the Bible high with his right hand for all to see, something that as far as I know no other president has done.

In closing, for me personally, what could have been an encouraging and inspirational message was made of no effect by the disparaging remarks made about our President throughout your commentary.

    Thank you for your wise comments. I totally agree. I would also say to the man who wrote this that if you struggle with the same character issues, how can you be so critical? Why does everyone think that Trump should be this perfect human when no one else has the same standards for their own life!

      Yes, that is very hard to understand. As I see it, it has to be because they have not fully understood the Gospel of Grace. They have placed themselves under the legalism of the Old Cov.

      And that is sad. God made the covenant with the Jews only. Gentiles were never under it, plus that covenant is obsolete.

      We are under the New Covenant, and the only requirement under it to be born again of the Spirit and receive the gift of eternal life is to believe in the One He has sent.

      There is no requirement to be “morally flawless” to enter the kingdom. No one would be able to make it in. Our own “righteousness” or rather self-righteousness is as filthy rags.

    Donald Trump loves this country and it’s people and wants to protect our freedoms and the unborn. That is a glowing resume in my books and I’ve never been sorry one day that I voted for him.
    He has the courage I only wish I had and the courage that I pray for. It is always easy to be an arm chair or Monday morning quarterback……..
    It has to be the worst job in the world and so thankful that he was willing to sacrifice everything for this country!!!!!

This article nails it. The battle is the LORDs. It is easy to forget this is one nation UNDER GOD. Not ahead of or beside Him. UNDER GOD. This country came into being so we the people could have GOD first. This is HIS COUNTRY. That He founded and ordained. HIS. Those that live here either love Him or hate Him. But have no doubt He is slow to anger wanting all of we the people to come to Him. But He is going to move this election in such a way that He will get the glory and He will get the honor. He will pull the corruption out of His Country for the sake of His Name. His Standing. His children. We need His choice for President. We already having the King of kings and Lord of lords. My prayer is that the Lord hears the imperfect prayers of His imperfect children and moves and acts in such a parting of the Red Sea way that the entire world say WHOAH. Hands off the USA or suffer the wrath of God Almighty. I pray that removing the corruption goes so deep we need to have a special election to refill the house and senate. And the new elected representatives of we the people acknowledge that this nation and its laws and its peoples are UNDER GOD. And we do better the next time

As President Trump began his first year in office I began to change my opinion of him as a person. As his term went on I began to realize that if we had not had an Obama, we might not have a Trump. My prayer has been for Truth to be revealed! Whereas before Trump it was hard to know where our leaders stood…they are not on the fence anymore…their colors are revealed.

Since 1985 I have been praying for our leaders: That they come to salvation in Jesus Christ; That they be convicted of their sins; That deception fall from their eyes; I plead a hedge of protection around them individually and collectively; That God provide godly counsel into their hearing 1000 times everyday; That their sins would be exposed and good would come out of it; That they be rewarded for the good they do and punished for the evil they do, that they could be so led; And that God would remove those who are unrighteous and unrepentant from that place of authority and raise up godly righteous people to take their places. I pray this way every Monday.

May God have His perfect will in the body of Christ, and in America, even the world!

    When you pray for 4 years for someone your opinion changes of them. If you did not pray daily as you should, I cannot respect your opinion. No man is perfect. And no biblical icon was either. Accept Christ Himself.

“And the government will be upon His shoulders….” I agree with much of the above statement. It is not mentioned how Trump has toned down some…nor that he welcomes PRAYER and Christian counsel. That is a hopeful issue that shows his heart is not turned against GOD as are those of many on the LEFT. GOD will either show mercy and pull this election out in the courts, OR He will give us over to our own demise…years of lukewarmness, years of pride that believes the arrogance of a non-believing TRUMP is worse than the sexual immorality, the half truths of many churches teachings and members may be coming to take its toll.
WHATEVER the outcome, my call is to pray, to follow GOD and HIS ways until He calls me home. LORD HAVE MERCY

    Agree, the condition of our nation is not the fault of unbelievers but the fault of a lukewarm (or COLD) church. We tend to look at the bigger picture but it all comes down to personal responsibility. What am I doing to advance The Kingdom? Am I winking at or excusing my own willful sins because, “I’m human and God knows I have feet of clay”? Am I using God’s mercy as “carte blanche” to excuse whatever I want to do? Am I being submissive and obedient to the Word of God? What I do matters and it matters all day and every day…..

I have tears in my eyes as I feel you “war cry”! Thank you for your transparency. I live in Palm Beach County and never liked Donald Trump as a business man and would not have elected him either if there had been a more “Christian” candidate. But oh, how the Lord’s ways are not our ways and Oh how I praise Him. Because just as you said, no one else could have birthed the hate and contention of the enemy the way this man has. Praise God! And you better believe this…before Trump’s second term is over, Donald J. Trump will be a praying man. God has much in store for him and it is an honor and a privilege to live in these perilous times and be a part of such a great act of God! Praise Him, saints! For He is worthy! PS: Nebuchadnezzar wrote Daniel chapter 4 and I won’t be surprised if that man is in heaven when I get there.

    I agree in much of what has been said. However I feel that some of you have been influenced by the evil fake news. Have you not seen President Trump praying and being prayed over by many believers? Are you unaware of his many white house prayer meetings? Does he not end all his speeches with ” May God Bless the United States of America? Have you not known a super type A personality? Are you aware of all the values that he has raised his children with and that they are religious? I am all for people having their own opinions–but please know what you are talking about and do some research instead of believing FAKE news. He is not perfect, none of are, but he is God’s chosen one at this time in history. Thank you God for giving us this chance to change things We must all do our part now.

So thankful I cam across this IFA site. Amazing!! Thank you for your writings.
I pray that God have mercy on us, unite us as one nation under the LORD, raise up Queen Esthers and that the Mordecai’s of this day be put into their rightful positions and the Hammons, along with their sons, be hanged on their own gallows, and the King Ahabs of this day be cast into the desert as an example. Praise the LORD God Almighty! Amen!

This encourages my soul. I have been in prayer before the Lord for this season. It is my belief that God has been expanding His kingdom for the last 30 years in many new ways that feel foreign to some within the local churches. New media platforms have come into play. Many strong and courageous young people entering the mission field through groups like World Changers thru the SBC. Power young men who know the gospel of grace as the truth which empowers them with strong faith. May our Lord protect this land that He established long ago for the world to have a light in the lighthouse of freedom to shine across the horizon for many to see. I could on for a long prayer and give you encouragement as you have given me but I’ll end with this. All for Christ is the goal, pastor Dan O.

For the conversion of all those who seek to destroy America knowingly and unknowingly.
That God would remember to bless those who bless Israel. That He would forgive those who have turned a blind eye to the slaughter of millions of unborn babies whose blood cries out from our land. That He would elect this most pro life of all Presidents so that more can be accomplished to save even more children.
Lord I rest in knowing You have heard my prayer and are Sovereign over ALL things and worthy of our trust.
I love You Lord

    I so agree. There is a battle between good and evil going on. Our dear Lord is giving each and every one of us a chance to be a Christian warrior on His behalf. To step up in his Name and to be counted on to do whatever we can to support Him. Peaceful marches, gatherings, letters to our Representatives, Senators and state/city politicians that WE will no longer accept their evil ways. We are a Christian country and George Washington made a covenant with God that we would always honor God and abide by his ways. America is more like Sodom and Gomorrah now and we all need to step up and work to change all the evil that has been allowed to take hold in America. Faith is an action, lets all get active to bring God back to our schools, communities, cities and America. Do not sit back on your faith, get up and let the teachings of God ring out in America. We can help, we can be one of God’s warriors. Do not give the evil ones your time or money, fake news TV and newspapers, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple etc. ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

Your well-expressed opinion invites comment. I saw in President Trump a champion, a fighter for American values, not perfect, but doggedly persistent to accomplish his assignment as best as he could. How we prayed for this kind of leader for a long time! Only a savvy bull of a man with his nimble team could survive the vicious, continuous beating he received from iconic public institutions especially the media, public opinion, Congress, the American justice system and even his circle of businessmen. Lesser men were felled by assassins or shame. Others quit. In recent times, we have not had a President or political leader with a quick public answer to everything. The man and his team seem indefatigable. His fearlessness, encouraged us who call ourselves believing Christians to speak publicly, pray fervently and expect God to answer in His way and timing. His accomplishments are astounding given so many traitorous spies working against him even in his own administration. Isn’t this how our God works in human affairs? I am in awe to watch and see what God is doing! How He loves this nation! How He loves us!

November 28, 2020

Amen to just about all. I too felt negatively about Mr. Trump at first. This is the speech which changed my mind: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NqjBLNDhqlc . After he was elected, I watched as he moved the government behemoth and pushed past the “resistance” to keep so many of the promises he made during his campaign. And, he donates his salary. I cannot think of a single other person running for president on either side of the aisle (exept perhaps Dr. Carson) who would have done so.

God’s intervention in this election, in response to our prayers, is not because we are such a great, virtuous people. Our personal and unrepentant national sins say otherwise. We are the last nation on earth from which the true gospel (and unfortunately a fake gospel) is being preached. He has other sheep belonging to His fold who have not yet heard the name of Jesus or had the opportunity to receive His redemption. For them, we have been prompted to plead for His rescue.

If socialism/communism/marxism ascends to leadership, worship of God and preaching of the word of God will be suppressed. We can already see the beginnings of it. Gods’ amazing grace toward this nation is not just because we’ve asked. He may well be still answering the prayers of long-dead patriots who asked Him to help us keep the republic that we were given after THEY prayed for His help.

In addition, God will always act in the interests of His Son Jesus Christ and the fulfillment of His kingdom yet to come. I believe in His mercy, everyone who would say “yes” to Him on this side of the tribulation must hear the gospel and be given the opportunity to accept or reject His salvation.

Truly we do not deserve the amazing grace of God. But, here it is again. The war is not over but, the tide in this battle has turned. Fight on saints! 🙂

Very well written. And funny. I needed to laugh. I believe those who saw the president through the eyes of the MSM often saw a selected cut of what what the media wanted us to see as they skilfully created and manipulated their own image of Trump. Personally I liked him for his honesty and humour. And I tried to go through all of his speeches and liked him even more. I heard a softness in his voice towards children and veterans etc which I found sympathetique. And I disliked the disrespect of the media who were constantly asking insulting questions and always insinuating his imagined guilt and fraud. Politicians are usually so dishonest and shallow that I found Trump to be a fresh wind after decades of cancel culture and political correctness.I dont think another person would have managed to stand upright in the perpetual hurricane that always blew around Trump. When Obama was elected in 2008 however,I felt a fearful pain in my stomach. I was truly worried for the US then and for the world. I did not have that reaction with Trump and I have learnt to trust my stomach jolts. Biden is A GREAT RESET man. (Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum. Davos, 2020. He is also transhumanist, (eugenics)/ economist/marxist/ social darwinist and the reset is a continuation of UN agenda 2021 and 2030 and they now plan to sneak it upon us using decent sounding words and pushing it forward due to Covid. It is an evil and selfadoring narcissism. Schwab had Pope Benedict removed and replaced with marxist globalist Pope Francis to achieve their goal. Their New World Order want to “Build Back Better” (slogan seen also on the wall of Bidens “elect” blue wall.) Another slogan is “You will own nothing and you will be happy.” They call it the 4th industrial revolution. I believe Trump is up against much of the world. EU,UN,WHO, CCP. Thank God for Trump. God’s Cyrus. I am praying for him, the US and the world and also for revival. Ifapray and other groups.
God bless you and I am grateful for taking part in your election experience and revelation. I pray for Trump to succeed and the truth to be disclosed and shine like a beacon.

      Glad you commented. Encouraging for me. No one secular or christian understand what I say. I have been convinced that the hatred against Trump had a different root than his manners. He is in the way for them. Even Prince Charles now talks about the need to usher in the Great Reset due to covid. Hitler was adored by worldleaders before he went to war with them. I liked Trump from the start and wondered why everybody hated him. It was conditioning through MSM. (Read Alinsky Rules for Radicals) That Trump- hatredmade me think Trump must be good and in the way. I know God will lead His people out of Egypt through the Red Sea. And it will save the world and revival will break out. Hallelujah

You are exactly right and it is encouraging that no weapon formed against DJT has triumphed so this coup won’t either. I also love DJT and I get it what he’s about. So many are seemingly short sighted and hung up on his personality. Yes Cyrus was probably prickly to the people he was coming against also. This is so obviously a spiritual battle.The demons have been beside themselves with frustration. May they be bound and cast into hell powerless where they belong.

        So well said. There is a lot of evil planned in the Great Reset. On a more recent note I have been reading since last October about Bill Gates adding tiny AI bots into the COVID vaccine. We can be scanned to see if we have received the vaccine and there is information to be acquired thru the AI bots. Also just revealed that fetal genes have been found in the vaccine. Lots of crazy stuff going around but WHY does this Flu require a vaccine when we were told there is no vaccine for the flu? It is a virus, virus’s mutate. If you don’t have a COVID vaccination card you will not be allowed to fly internationally. Sounds like the Mark of the Beast to me. There is much more about this out on the web from very reputable people and companies. Look it up friends, you do not and should not take my word for it. COVID is the fraudulent excuse for the takeover. Read about the exaggeration on deaths and the covid stats, its a flu and not any worse than many of the different bad strains we have experienced before. Please get informed before making this decision. The Lord is my shepherd who leadeth me not into temptation

My prayer is that President Donald Trump would open his heart to allow God to use his desire to tweet to speak to the souls of people similar to how David would speak to God in his writings- Psalms- that conveyed the emotional, physical and spiritual battles he was facing. When David wrote his “tweets”, he would cry out to the Lord for strength, praise and worship, and would encourage himself that the Lord would intervene.

Oh how David’s words have brought comforts down thru the years. Whether it’s Psalms 35:1,4-“Contend, O Lord with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek and require my life; let them be turned back and confounded who plan my hurt! (Amplified); or Psalms 25:2-: Oh my God, I trust, lean, rely on and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.”

Just on Thursday, I listened to President Trumps Thanksgiving message where he recognized and blessed God for the blessings on this nation. There was a different tone in his voice. God is doing a new thing and will continue to draw President Trump closer to him as we the Body of Christ fervently lift the President up in prayer. In Jesus Name. Amen.

    Yes, I agree, President Trump has definitely softened since his first inauguration. But he has always seemed to have a tender heart for his family, for the needy, for the downtrodden – a real heart, not one that just panders and sends money, but a heart that actually seeks to meet real needs (for work, for freedom, for life, and much more).

    Also, thank God, we have always known exactly where President Trump stands! How refreshing in this PC world!

    Oh, Lord, You alone are the God of our fathers, our God in heaven, Ruler over ALL the kingdoms of the nations, in whose hand is power and might, so that NO ONE is able to withstand You! You, Oh LORD, who despite knowing that we are only dust, nothing without Your breath, still have steadfast, enduring love for us! Who is like You!

Right on point, Kurt. I believe God IS going to turn things around. We, the Ekklesia, must continue to pray and fast and continue to declare God’s Word over every situation. I know I thought it was tough praying prior to the election but it is even harder now. We cannot let up but that is just what the enemy would like us to do so we MUST persevere in prayer and continually lift up our praise and worship to God and believe Him for His perfect plan. I am standing on Isaiah 43:13 which says: “Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” No one can reverse the plan of God and He WILL have HIS way. Hallelujah!!

You are pretty hard on Trump. I thought the same but God showed in 2016 to pray for him. I mean no harm but you come across as judgmental and self righteous. You represent a lot of the entitlement attitude in American Christians. God allowed for Obama, if the Word is true. And it of course is always true. He positioned Trump. The man is even gonna get saved and many will follow his example. You would have never picked David. Nor a bunch of fishermen and a tax collector. I am so thankful you aren’t God, but just a filthy sinner like the rest of us. Get humble while you still can. Jesus can help with that.

    Maggie, I agree with you completely. I initially was not excited about President Trump announcing he would run in 2016, but it was not bc of who he’s was but bc I had learned that he had said he would run a time or two before, and then not followed through. The stakes were too high for any one not 100% committed and I promptly shared my insight on this matter with God, and, once again I’m sure He laughed, and decided to ignore my advice. I have been amazed to see how God has used a man who so many of us, and especially many Christians would never have chosen, to such great things in our country. I am amazed every time I hear someone complain or out-right disrespect the President bc he’s not “Presidential” enough, not “holy“ enough, has a potty mouth, etc etc. And the complaints that he hasn’t gotten all of his campaign promises met is astounding to me. He has accomplished more than any president in my lifetime, in not in all time, and with non-stop opposition, lies, death threats to him and every member of his family and his team. I don’t think many of us can comprehend the stress and pressure of knowing that there are many, many evil people actively seeking to kidnap, torture, or kill our loved ones and our closest allies. And the frustration of hearing his words and every action twisted, taken out of context, & the good work never acknowledged, has to be beyond frustrating. I am so frustrated with “Pharisee” Christians constant criticism of him. Don’t they realize that this man has done more for our freedom of worship, religious liberties, and been the best friend to Israel ever, and worrying about his rough edges is like “straining at the knat and swallowing the camel”. I have heard ministers tell their congregations that he is a horrible man and must be gotten out of office. How can anyone be so blind? Obama was very “Presidential”, and had a silver tongue, but he was horrible threat to our freedoms, he stoked racial division, and all but crippled our military. My son was in combat duty in Iraq under the failed and weak military policies of Bush and Obama, and he was always in high risk areas, and exposed to threat from enemies hiding in plain sight. Never knowing who was a civilian & who was the enemy with a gun or bomb & ready to kill no matter where or when. When I saw a Obama apologizing for America, saw our military men being made to bow down to their captors in submission with Obama’s blessing it sickened my soul. I lived through the race wars of the 60’s & 70’s, and was so thankful when we were past that. But I always wondered where the activists went. I naively thought that they matured & had jobs and families. How wrong that was, they had only quietly gone underground, quietly & patiently inserting themselves in our government, schools, Hollywood, etc. only to reappear stronger than ever. I’ve often said that if my political party or representatives was calling for strife, violence, using lies, hate, and such to win or obtain goals I would not support them, I would abandon them, and I would. But this goes way beyond politics, we are in a spiritual battle for the soul of our country, and for the souls of our children and grandchildren. People see our President as an arrogant, self-centered, self-serving braggart. I have seen him humbly sit in the Oval Office and let Godly people put their hands on him and pray for him with cameras rolling. He was the first President ever or in a long time to attend the National Prayer Breakfast. He chose Mike Pence, a very humble and Godly man, as his VP. VP Pence would not had agreed to that position if he had not been convinced it was of God, and I am certain that POTUS Trump would not have chosen VP Pence, who was mocked by liberals & the MSM & called a prude for publicly stating that he wouldn’t even dine with a woman without his wife present, such is his character. But then many say Trump has loose morals. So which way do we want it? It can’t be both. Another point is that VP Pence does not take a salary either, nor did he take one when he was governor of IN, and his family didn’t utilize the regular services of household staff bc they felt that those funds could be spent serving the people of IN better. Neither of these men are self-serving, career politicians, but humble servants of the people of the USA, & I thank God for their service, love of country, and sacrifice for the regular working American families that have been used and abused by politicians for decades. How anyone can call themselves Christian or moral and hate this President is beyond me. The President didn’t cheat himself out of this election, the evil Scoialist-Communist-Democrat’s did. How did we go from almost 4 years of non-stop investigates of voter fraud to suddenly seeing actual voting laws being violated blatantly & we are told we must accept the results & “suck it up” as one talk show host told us recently. I can’t speak to this election, but in 2016 and previous elections there were an estimated 25 million Christians who were NOT even registered to vote. Many believe that it isn’t God’s will to be involved in such “worldly” things. But I wonder that they visit the dentist, use lawyers, drive cars, own & watch TV, send their children to public schools & etc. One last point, then I’m done. For all the “Christians” and others who find our President so distasteful, I wonder if you, a loved one, or your child had a malignant brain tumor that needed a skilled surgeon, would you choose the one who could get the job done and save your child or would your choice be based on the doctor who didn’t swear, smoke, had no bedside manner but was sweet & polite but not an expert brain surgeon. That’s where we are as a country. If Biden manages to steal this election the patient will die, and we are the patient.

Heavenly father and Lord Jesus, your word says the battle is the Lord’s. True. I praise you mightily for your word.

You installed Donald Trump as president for the United States. He is a leader who is ready for battle, your battle, and he needed help. Help came in the form of prayers of millions of people Who prayed, fasted, demonstrated their support in thousands of communities around America in so many different ways.

We thank you for what you do, Heavenly Father, and we praise you for America, the land of the free because of the brave and because God has chosen to bless Americans with Donald Trump as president.

May we continue to pray, praise and believe in your word and promises. In Jesus name, amen

If there is one thing I understand about Satan and his minions, he doesn’t like to be exposed. He hates it and will fight back. But when the spotlight of God starts to shine in full view on his deeds and “those working with him”…then the devil goes into full blown scurry and assault mode.
Now please note what was said – “scurry & assault”. Satan (and those working with him) runs looking for more darkness to hide under while “shooting back”. The enemy of God and the adversary of God’s people is fleeing but not without a fight. As God’s warriors and people, We Will continue to pray, petition, plead and ask for your forgiveness, mercy, grace and strength while we take up this ongoing battle with the arsenal and weapons God has already given to us.
We are beyond humbled and grateful Lord that You have chosen throughout the history of your creation to continually use imperfect men and women. In our natural mind, it makes no sense but You Lord see Your purpose in everything You do. You have and continue to use fallen humans to accomplish Your purposes. Thank you God that you love us so much that You are willing to let us be a part of Your work to establish that which You desire on earth.
We pray Lord that You would continue to use President Trump and his team to help uncover the myriad of corrupt filth, treason and criminal compromise and illegal actions that have inundated our government and corporations at every level in our society. Thank you God for allowing us to be part of Your work in bringing this into the light. Amen.

Kurt, there are thousands of people who feel as you do about Donald Trump, personally. I see him somewhat differently. He reminds me of the great general George S. Patton who led the Third Army to victory in Europe during World War II. On the battlefield, he was a genius; in social circles, he was a disaster!
When I first listened to Donald Trump, I heard not only his crass demeanor. I also heard his unpolished words, the determination in his eyes, and promises, as every politician makes. Only, Trump has kept as many promises as the Democrats would let him. He has stood by us through the Valley of Hell, and he stood ready to do it for the second term.
In short, we didn’t get just another smooth-talking politician. We got a true leader!
So cut the man some slack. New Yorkers are not known for their discretion. Our President grew up in Queens; I grew up in Brooklyn, so I understand the man’s grating manner. Get past it, okay? He’s a fighter and gets the job done!

    Good comparison. I never liked Donald Trump much as a television personality; however, my affection for the man has grown tremendously since he came into the political arena. His actions have shown that he loves America and cares about the suffering of people. I can see why God picked this man for this time – he is in his 70’s and has more energy than most people do who are in their 20’s! And he thrives on a good fight! Millions of us now have his back and won’t let him down. May God give him (and his family and legal teams) supernatural strength and wisdom! I love that New York spirit!!! 🥰

Thank you Kurt for your honesty. It is exactly how I feel. In my utter exhaustion after these past 4 years, physically, emotionally and spiritually, and in knowing this turmoil we have been facing is merely the calm before the storm, I am simply stopping and breathing, and resting in Him. There is a part of me deep within my spirit that remains calm, sensing God’s presence. It is time to trust that God is with us. He is the One steering the ship now, as with a tiny rutter, because He only needs to speak a Word for changes to happen. It is time to let Go and Let God.

With Thanksgiving, as I pray to our Lord and Savior, I lift up my hands to Him and to Almighty God. I bring to the cross my many emotions, unrest, exhaustion, and every battle that lies ahead of us. It is time to pray and let God do what He does best. He is the One who saves. He reveals both the truth and the lies, and He is the only One who heals, though He has used many of His disciples along this journey. The Holy Spirit is the conduit between us and God. I lift up all the people in America and in the world to Almighty God. In Jesus’ name, I simply trust that He is answering our prayers.

Jesus took in His body all of the sins and corruption that is so very ripe in America, but this battle involves every individual soul to make the right choices of which we are not in control of as His disciples. Just like every other battle I fought so hard to win, when fighting in my own strength and will, I would not overcome, not until I realized it was my Lord who would win the battle for me, and in Him I must submit to. This is no different. I submit America to our Lord. God is moving! No doubt about it! He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will be with us until we see Him again, sooner or later. In God I trust, and in Jesus’ name we win.

I’m glad that Kurt Nauck admitted that “it takes one to know one.” We all “tend to reflect some of those qualities” that he described about Trump. Isn’t this another good time for the Holy Spirit to show us what’s in our own heart? The Lord can see deep inside each of our hearts. He is not willing that anyone should perish. Oh, it might be that Trump has crossed over from death to life; if he did not, I pray that he will. What about Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Camilla Harris, George Soros, Eric Coomer, ANTIFA followers…..

    Yes, it is we, who are called by His name, who MUST love our enemies, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who spitefully use us and persecute us, for He has given US the ministry of reconciliation.

    And, Lord, how often I have failed at that. Please forgive me, and use Your Holy Spirit to search my heart, and prompt me to follow You, for Your ways are pleasant, and peaceful! Only in crucifying our flesh, and living by faith in You, Lord Jesus, will all come to know that we are, indeed, Your disciples.

Oh, Lord, forgive us for taking YOU for granted!

I receive your commentary . I hear your journey . I respect what you have said but… since all authority is given by God Almighty,” I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” Any day .. this day .. judgement day. Scriptures tells us that God exalts and brings down .., so He uses whom He chooses to be in leadership. We come alongside in prayer. Yes we vote and ponder but our role is support. I led a God and Country prayer group through the campaign and election of 2016. There were many candidates . Donald Trump was the one chosen… As believers we tend to single out and recoil from personality quirks . We do not like to accept people who have brash tendencies . The simple faith of a child has roots and must mature. A beginning faith in Jesus in anyone .. will struggle. Yes, salvation comes. And we rejoice because it is a crossroads. It is the most important one. Learning to pray … learning to live in the word … learning to submit our lives and sin daily to our God is the maturing of the saint. He chooses imperfect people every time. That includes all of us. He chose Donald Trump . We cried out , fasted and surrendered our agenda, our feelings , our preferences. Abba heard. We want our leaders to bear dignity and restraint in rhetoric . But America was plummeting towards a crossroads of such historic proportions that our God chose a prize fighter… a man who would not back down from hard decisions … a man who would care about the invisible people who work diligently daily for the American Dream. This man has delivered God’s agenda . As I pledged to pray daily for him and every family member by name, as well
As VP Pence and family… and every cabinet member… which meant knowing all the changes….I grew to love him. Prayer grows love . I am there. He is a champion . God does allow his own to be stripped, humbled , chastened … in order to have His favor. He loves lavishly . When we are born into God’s Kingdom through Jesus, we are babies. We must be cared for and there are stages to physical, emotional and spiritual growth. We must learn how to live … how to listen and glean truth …be courageous in persecution… to continue… and never cease doing what our God calls us to do. This is President Trump. No he is not the King mentioned in the close of this article . He is the one God Almighty chose to lead America back to reclaim lost ground because our God heard our cries . My prayers will not cease. Neither will my love for this man who loves America . He was summoned by our God. “ You are mine.” We pray on!

    I love President Trump and I am so grateful to God for raising him up for such a time as this. He doesn’t back down, tucking tail and running away like so many politicians have that I have voted for in the past. Unless I am reading the Bible incorrectly, Jesus is the only perfect person ever born. We all have a past and we are called to love unconditionally and not cast stones or point fingers at others. We are to be working out our salvation daily and we are not called to judge. There is only one judge. President Trump defends the unborn and stands with Israel…case closed. I am personally disgusted with politicians with smooth tongues who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Our President was a wrestler and he doesn’t back down from a challenge. If HRC would have won the election in 2016, the United States would be under the rule of a global government by now. God in His merciful goodness rescued us from the plans of the enemy because HE has a plan to see His kingdom being established on His earth. We are to pray for those in authority over us because God Almighty has raised them up. Did I mention that I am grateful? I do not want to ever stand against what God is doing to establish His justice and His kingdom. How presumptuous of one who does.

    All of the thoughts and intercessions are a blessing. Thank you.

    Only the Lord knows, but my husband and I do believe that Donald Trump was given a clear plan of salvation just a couple of weeks before the Republican convention in 2015. My husband received a tweet from a Christian man we know well, who has been involved in Christian circles for years and knows “names of repute” in those circles that we would all know. Our friend’s tweet to my husband was for us to pray because DJT was being led to the Lord right then. Our friend did not say the name of the evangelizer but said to focus on asking the Lord that it would be real and true understanding by DJT. We were so surprised when not too long after that Candidate Trump chose Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate. In 2015. From Indiana. Think about that. We have continued to pray for our President and VP and their families. We cannot image how it must be to live under constant scrutiny and backlash from everyone, and with the weight of the MSM completely against you for FOUR SOLID YEARS. Never a good or life giving word, in public. (Yet, our President did persevere, where we believers would cringe and cave in.)

    The Lord lifts up one and puts down another. The Lord is faithful to prepare the hearts of those who follow Him.
    The Lord will finish the work He has started. With Joy. No Glory will be shared or lost! The enemy knows his time is short.

    May the Lord continue His cleansing work! Thank you all for your reflections!
    This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!

    All to Jesus!

If I read the article correctly, it seems the only reason you think the left wants Trump out of office is because they don’t like his persona. It goes much deeper than that! They don’t like what he stands for, that is: a love for America, a sovereign nation, keep illegals out, guts enough to move our embassy to Jerusalem, a respect for God, intestinal fortitude to ‘drain the swamp’ and much, much more. The real reason the progressives want him out of office: they want a ‘one world government’ and President Trump is in the way.

Yes and AMEN. Thank you Father for revealing to your saints Truth. Yes, it has taken some of us awhile to get out of our comfort chairs at church and put on your Armor and get into the battle against the demonic forces of evil who have taken over this land. We now do in the spiritual what you did in the physical…. We crush the teeth (strength) of the enemy, we have almighty power in us that raised Jesus from the dead. We cut off their arms (armies and ammunition)….their flaming darts are nothing….against our shield of faith. We smash them under our feet in the name of Jesus. We take the two edged sword and cut off their heads (authority) —-and all the glory goes to Almighty God, who was, is and evermore will be. It is finished…they are done and justice will be carried out as decreed by God. Saul did not do the job of getting rid of the Amalakites and their descendants all those God hating demonic spirits who have permeated the world. We are here and standing on holy ground as priests and prophets of Elohim. We Stand in the gap of Jesus Christ —- defeating them in God’s battle and giving God all the power and glory in Jesus name. Amen

Thanks for your honesty, Kurt!
God’s ways are not our ways, and we should thank Him that His ways and His thoughts are better and higher than ours.
There is a reason Trump has been called the wrecking ball candidate, and God is revealing it more and more.
I’m also reminded of a quote from Lance Wallnau:
“…it is remarkable how many Christians fail to discern political and cultural issues from a Biblical perspective. They fumble around politically because many can’t get past someone’s personality…The reality is, political issues are spiritual issues…Start with biblical principles and sanctified common sense. Never give your support to anyone based on looks, ethnicity, personality, or party…God’s Word is our foundation and it speaks to every political and policy issue we face. We must take it and then line it up against the political, then the policies, then
[party] platform, and finally the politician [their personality last].”

Principles
Platform
Policies
Politician- In that order…”

…which is basically what you did, Kurt. I do support Trump, yet his personality does rub me the wrong way at times; but that is actually the least important quality needed to literally be the leader of the free world. Praise God he gives us what we need and not what we want. Many times some seemingly outrageous, ‘surely-he-didn’t-mean-to-say-that’ statements Trump has made are actually him being “as wise as a serpent” when strategically kicking that hornets’ nest- and we just don’t see the “gentle as a dove” side on TV (but many have said you see that side in private).
I agree with you that we need to continue and even increase our prayers,
our thanksgiving, our praise and our worship to finish this battle for the soul of America and keep America a sheep nation and a shining light on a hill to draw all to our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!!

      Here’s a great, encouraging song for us as we continue to pray for America and this election outcome- “God’s Got an Army” by Carman:

      “God’s got an army, not afraid to fight
      Soldiers of the Cross and children of the light
      Warriors of righteousness with healing in their hands
      God’s got an army marching through the land

      Let me hear your war cry, HEY!
      Let me hear your war cry, HEY!

      We’re a people with ears to hear and hearts to respond
      To spiritual needs of the nation
      We’re a showcase of what He’ll do when we are strong
      In Jesus, to a whole generation

      The world won’t be the same tomorrow
      Because we’re here today
      The kingdom of hell is gonna feel sorrow
      ‘Cause our war cry is worship and praise!

      God’s got an army, not afraid to fight
      Soldiers of the Cross and children of the light
      Warriors of righteousness with healing in their hands
      God’s got an army marching through the land

      Let me hear your war cry, HEY!
      Aww, let me hear your war cry, HEY!

      The apostles and prophets are speaking forth
      The flames of revival -well, they are burning!
      Like old Joshua went marchin’ out to possess
      And there’s no way our minds will be turning

      There’s joy in the battle so we commence
      To change this nation’s course
      The kingdom of God is suffering violence
      And the violent take it by force
      (TAKE IT BY FORCE!)

      God’s got an army, not afraid to fight
      Soldiers of the Cross and children of the light
      Warriors of righteousness with healing in their hands
      God’s got an army marching through the land

      Let me hear
      Let me hear, hey
      Hey, this means war, man!

      I’m a soldier
      (In the army of the Lord)
      I’m a soldier
      (In the army of the Lord)
      I’m a soldier
      (In the army of the Lord)
      I’m a soldier
      (In the army of the Lord)

      We’re not afraid to stand and fight
      (We’re not afraid to stand and fight)
      We cast out demons left and right
      (We cast out demons left and right)

      We’re strong in battle, strong in prayer
      (We’re strong in battle, strong in prayer)
      We tell Satan, get out of here
      (We tell Satan, get out of here)

      Sound off-
      (Jesus)
      Sound off-
      (Is Lord!)
      Sound off-
      (Jesus is Lord)
      JESUS IS LORD!!”

      I want to also emphasize that the battlefield is spiritual, on our knees against principalities and powers, and anything that exalts itself above God’s Word. Our enemies are satan and his evil minions, not un-belivers, not government officials or people of any particular political ideology, not our neighbors, co-workers, bosses, friends or family members!
      Be wise as serpents when fighting with our spiritual enemy, be gentle as doves when dealing with the people around you! That being said, “Let Me Hear Your War Cry”- Hallelujah!!

First, I pray that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Sir, you are deceived! Big Time! Note very little mention of God in this rant. No acknowledgement that T would never be in this position had God not put him there. Yes, it was God who put him in this position, God used the voters surely, but it was God, in fact a miracle of miracles. God does not choose as you do. Look at the leaders He raised up in the Word, hardly but a few had big problems, starting with David.

You are looking only at the things that can be seen and not the unseen, the spiritual, Holy Spirit directed moves of God. Yes, everything is coming out into the open. But that includes what is coming from the supposed church also. The continued abject sin of tolerating evil continually, starting in our schools, where supposed Christians leave their children to be indoctrinated in the devil’s ways, often with the approval of other supposed Christians unwilling to lose their jobs by standing for righteousness.

We have allowed the corruption in our society to grow like a cancer and it is about to devour all. It was/is our fault! Not the world’s or even the devil’s, but our fault of apathy and neglect. And I hear none of that, none!

Have we repented? I do not see it! Of what, pray tell? I have not heard it and I read this email regularly. We are the ones who God gave this nation to, to deliver from evil, yet we compromised continually. Do you know how many supported Baronnelle, or the Klein’s, etc. Where was the supposed church? AWOL! WE KNOW personally the Klein’s. Not one church supported them publicly, not one! The church is the main problem and God was uncovering the heart of the church for all to see.

Have you read Daniel 9 and his prayer lately? Where on earth in these last years have you heard such a prayer? I have not! We are too fat [myself included], too satisfied, too materialistic to seek God and be willing to die to self, to give our all. I have not seen anyone with that kind of commitment.

What I see daily is compromisers with the world. Love not the world or the things of the world. Those who love the world, the love of the Father is not in them! That is us!!
All over the world Christians are dying for their faith in Yeshua, and here in America we can’t even give up a job, some inconveniences. Isn’t that what you see?

Sure there may be a few really sold out to the Lord. But where are they? Outside of the walls of the church buildings. Many dedicated ministries exist—outside the walls. Many are struggling to continue. The church is corrupt, self-centered, and really does not want to know/hear the truth. You are not much better!

You admit that your flesh predominated in your judgment of T. You probably have not listened to him for hours as I have, not what the media says about him, and not his Tweets, but the man himself. You don’t tell us what he has sacrificed to take this job—-a lot! Would you even consider putting yourself under this kind of pressure? And your family? What kind of positive stokes has he gotten from you?

Sorry, buster, I disagree heartily with you and your judgment of the man God put in position because there are few who could take the pressure and still stand, a warrior, a fighter, a wrestler as a youth. There are few who would volunteer for such a job and stand true to the Lord, few who would surround themselves with the quality Christians that he has, very few, few that would support Israel, a defining action that determines much in these end times. I do not think you mentioned Israel as one of T’s accomplishments. Why?

I am fed up with those who call themselves Christians yet do not understand what God is doing. Read Revelation and learn what is about to come very soon. Soon and very soon we are about to see the KING OF THE UNIVERSE, THE LORD OF GLORY, THE CREATOR, but this next coming with be only for those who “love His appearing”. Do you anticipate His coming in the air, the clouds, to catch us up to be with Him forever? I do and many others do.

God is sifting and testing right now who truly want to follow Him, who want to die to self, And He may even let us suffer some severe persecution, as He warned early on in His ministry. Are we ready to suffer persecution for Christ as He warned and as the disciples did?

That is the message that the prophets of old gave and why they were killed by those God sent them to who gave God’s message. It was the false prophets who gave the message of peace and safety. Read Jeremiah and the other prophets and take them seriously. We are certainly at a time of testing. That is the message I hear from God’s Word and so that is the message I bring.

My title for this inspiration is EXPECT PERSECUTION We deserve, We need it to purify the church before the rapture, the soon coming of Christ in the air, to catch us up to be with Him forever. God is in control and He will either bring us blessing or curses. Be ready, fellow believers, for whatever He brings us, mercy or judgment.

    Regarding your statement that there was little mention of God, the last part of my article was inexplicably not included. It included a prayer and a Bible verse, as follows:

    “Thank You Father, for President Trump and Your unfathomable wisdom, for Your ways are marvelous in our sight, and we cannot comprehend them.”

    The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes. – Proverbs 21:1

    Pauline, I hate to be disagreeable especially in this forum. However, I think you are out of line and I question if you read the whole article. Kurt spoke from his heart about how God opened his eyes to see the very things you criticize him for “not seeing.” He did acknowledge that God had appointed Donald Trump for purposes that he did not originally see. He is not alone. When Franklin Graham led the nation to prayer in 2016 (Decision America) many Christians were descending upon their respective state capitals early on while 16 potential candidates were lined up for the Republican nomination. As fellow Christians were praying it was clear that many expected Rubio, Cruze, Huckabee, or Forina to be God’s choice for whom we were petitioning. As the pool dwindled and it came to Donald Trump, Christians across the nation were posting their doubts and confusion all over social media. Many were clearly conflicted and uncertain that God had heard and answered. I am reminded of King David – even his father could not imagine that God’s anointing was upon him, so much so that he did not even mention David to the prophet but, instead paraded out his older, stronger, and more “obvious” sons. Kurt’s article is very important because as we go into this spiritual battle there remain many Christians who still do not understand the spiritual battle being waged and how spot on Kurt was in noting that a Rubio or Cruz did not have all the strong characteristics of Donald Trump, those very characteristics you so accurately point out in your rebuttal. May I ask you to re-read Kurt’s article with a little more grace? If you do, I think you will see that he was honest in how he came to the point of awareness at which you are presumable already there.

President Trump is EXACTLY who we need in The White House….God created him for “such a time as this”….FEARLESS and able to handle the evil attacks thrown at him! (Most of us would have stepped down by now….)

I can only imagine the turmoil and grief he and his family have endured!!

Wonder what people thought when “Jesus himself threw the moneychangers out of the temple…threw over the tables and used a cat of nine tails….!”
You can’t play with evil spirits….you tell them to SHUT UP and Cast them Out!

I am 65 years old and have watched evil come into my great Country for over 40 years….my Aunt worked in the Pentagon for 14 years (1942-56) and was brilliant…her life was destroyed because of the evil and corruption in DC!

I know she is watching from Heaven now and cheering us on to FIGHT AND PRAY…..

Thank you for this encouragement! I have felt the exact same way for a long time. Initially, I wanted Ben Carson, a peaceful and accomplished man of God, to be our president. But as time goes by, I see why we needed such a polarizing figure as Trump. As Lincoln said about Grant, “I can’t spare this man, He fights!” God often uses people with weaknesses to highlight His power, and I think we’ve seen this man evolve into a believer who fights for God’s will, even though his mouth runs away with him at times. I encourage us all to keep praying and blessing Trump and all those working to overturn this fraud and reestablish God’s will for our nation.

Kim Clement called Trump a “humble” man by the Spirit as God also called Moses humble. They both led a nation out of captivity and dealt justice to them and others. We are so quick to look at the outward appearance while Father has seen Trumps heart. Other great leaders had their well known foibles but history has blurred them. Our enemies have amplified and twisted Trump’s to instill hatred, disdain, and abandonment from “polite” society that has been desensitized to truth through political correctness bondage. Moses had a few harsh words to say, too. Do we think no one objected to HIS character or words? The stubborn, rebellious, fickle, hard hearted Americans- Israelites- got the leader they needed. Let’s love him and encourage him to finish the race “and see the salvation of the Lord” by refusing to be a burden to the President but instead a bulwark to the point man. God bless our nation and those fighting for it.

MANY CHRISTIANS ARE BLINDED BY TRADITION. “I WAS BORN A ” DEMOCRATS ” OR REPUBLICAN ” I MUST DIE ONE. THAT’S HOW MY FAMILY RAISED ME. WHAT A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL! SOME WOULD RATHER THINK THAT WAY THAN TO OFFEND OUR PARENTS. PASTOR’S PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK SO THOSE WHO ARE DECEIVED WILL HAVE THEIR EYES OPENED. EPH. 6: 12 SAYS, WE WAR NOT AGAINST DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS. FLESH AND BLOOD. THIS IS A DEMONIC BATTLE. THERE ARE MANY YOUNG CHRISTIANS WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BATTLE. AS WATCHMEN ON THE WALL WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD FOR THESE YOUNG ONES A GREAT HARVEST IS RISING AND WE WARRIORS, WATCHMEN ON THE WALL MUST BE READY TO FIGHT THE LION AND BEAR TO PROTECT THE SHEEP. “ON OUR KNEES”

    Yes, Patsy many are blinded by the lies of tradition to stick with the party that their family raised them in. I was raised by Democrats. But thankfully God let my older brother see and lead me to see politics with a Biblical view. And I kept pointing out truths to my mom. This was during the Clinton administration. When congress banned partial birth abortion, but, Clinton cruelly vetoed it and stopped the rescue of all those poor innocent babies. With the selfish wave of his pen he has condemned many babies to a horrendous death since. Thankfully the spell was finally broken and my mom could see the light and could no longer give the democrat party her vote. Yet, my little brother is still very deceived and very far left. Just yesterday I felt very down about the way that I stayed miles away from any mention of politics at our Thanksgiving gathering. I hate conflict or to offend anyone and my brother is very emotional and can get very hostile if I give a wrong answer; so for decades I’ve tried to stir clear of anything political when he’s around. I felt convicted for leaving politics out of my prayer for the sake of a fake peace. And then I felt as if those in my family that I try to be politically correct for have become idols; whose feelings have been placed above God and His feelings.
    I pray that I as well as other will be able to repent of this completely and be able to speak the truth in love. And be good examples, mentors and advocates for Christ especially to those younger family members. In the amazing name of Jesus. Amen

Yes, I truly am incredulous that so many people have taken issue and self righteously focused on President Trump’s personality-he wasn’t running to be head pastor of a church-he sacrificed his business and put his and his children’s lives on the line to stand for life for the unborn, religious liberty and against the devil’s machinery for world governance. I am incredulous that so many want peace to the point that they are willing to settle for the lying, murderous theft machine that will not only impact us in ways we can’t begin to imagine but the people of the world as well. I am ashamed of the pastors that go along with such a line of thought-they have lost my respect. We are called to courage not cowardice.

    I also do not like the Trump mouthy responses but like you I loved his accomplishments and the Biblical principles for which He stands. It was so wonderful to have the name of Jesus proclaimed in the oval office with prayer and Bible study allowed in the West wing!
    Fortunately for the churchJesus Christ rules and reigns eternally so our true government is unchanged!! Hallelujah!!
    God is certainly calling the Church to RISE up and continue to proclaim the truth and Word of God.
    And yes- God is enthroned in the praises of His people. Worship- the most powerful warfare!
    We keep praying for the kingdom of God to grow. It seems we will be entering a time of sorrow, but Joy comes in the morning …

      The blood of patriots watered the God given constitution we have. There is no pleasant light to put that in. Many lost everything to protect the freedoms we so enjoy. We cannot esteem our liberty lightly. I too truly stand as SO MANY do with Moses, Joshua and Caleb, with Gideon, Jonathan and his weapon bearer and with Daniel. These men were tough in their faith and knew that it wasn’t God’s will for His people to be defeated-or for a thief to take what wasn’t his. President Trump did win the election and the thief of our souls can’t be allowed to steal what not only belongs to President Trump but to the people who voted for him. I call to the courtroom of Heaven “Stop Thief in the name of Jesus”.

“There are times when God chooses to work through a King Josiah, and times when He selects a King Nebuchadnezzar.”

Perfect description. God ALWAYS works His perfect plan through imperfect people.

I believe we should continually pray 2 Chronicles 7:14, so that we remain humble and seek out our hidden sins.
Also continue to pray for President Trump’s personal relationship with Christ that he may be like Nebuchadnezzar and turn to to God and turn the whole nation to God.

Thank you !! We must all stand together. Like a mighty army !!

President Trump is who he is for a reason.
To take the accusations, the lies, the hiding of the truth by the media I don’t know how he stands. God gave us this man for a time such as this . We probably would of thought the same thing of David. When he went up against the giant.
Most of us would of laughed at David like his brothers. I prayed the other day God don’t let me miss this moment that you gave us a modern day David in President Trump someone who wouldn’t just sit back but would fight back !! For us !
My prayer today and everyday is this:
Almighty God Please protect our President Donald J Trump and his family
Our Vice President and his family. All the attorneys and staff that are working at this time. Grant them favor, mercy and grace in the courts. Give them wisdom. Thank you Lord also for all the saints who are praying fasting snd crying out to You Lord . Praising through the storm.
We say to this storm
Peace be still!!
No weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that raises up against us Lord you shall condemn, this is the inheritance of the saints!
The words of David to the giant “You come against me with sword spear and javelin but I come against you in the name of the Lord God almighty, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied.
This day the Lord will hand you over to me and I will strike you down I will cut off your head…..
And the whole earth will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword nor spear that the Lord saved; for the battle is the Lords and he will give all of you into our hands. …
David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.”

Let us have ears that are unstopped to hear You loud and clear. Lord, remove the veil over our eyes which have been blinded by the god of this world so that we may see clearly with discerning of spirits and a heart and will to consecrate ourselves to You. The cross of Jesus and His precious sinless blood paid the price for ALL who call upon His powerful name. Let us continue to pray for salvation and restoration of those who oppose God.
“Suddenly” I expect a great awakening, a mighty outpouring of Holy Spirit leading us to repentance. We are called to be disciples and to make disciples of Christ Jesus. Not by our mind, but by His Spirit.
I join with Brother Kurt and the great warriors interceeding for Your purposes on earth. Lord, You have blessed Kurt with eloquent expression of what Intercessors are sensing in the Spirit. By faith we press forward knowing that You, Lord God Almighty will triumph.

    Melanie Exactly !! I gave the example of David
    Most of us would of laughed at young David taking on a giant. And we would of certainly laughed at his words. David was bold he said today I am taking you down!! And God is getting all the glory. We have forgotten how to fight. We have become this frail little body of believers! We can’t anymore !! We must rise up and stand and fight !
    David took action picked up the stones declared with his words and then leaped into action. All the while declaring “ I come against you in the name of the Lord God almighty..
    The Lord will hand you over !!…
    The Lord saves …
    the battle belongs to the Lord”

    How fast we have forgotten what the previous administration brought us !
    Transgender
    Same sex marriage

So, I have said all along that the President was sent to us for such a time like this, even though at times I wished and posted on posts asking him to try not to post so many Twitter posts. I have never enjoyed it. However I knew that God had his purpose. I think one teaching from the Word needs to be touched on here. Remember when Israel asked for a king and God gave them one. Later the people raised up against him. Then they angered the Lord. So many Christians lay on the sidelines. They don’t get involved. God expects us to get involved. Same on US Christians. We have wrought this on our country. There is a difference in not taking up the sword to fight and being complacent We have forgotten to teaching our Children to serve the Lord from a young age. God promises Bring them up in the way of the Lord and when they are old they will not stray from it. That is a promise. Instead many of us decide they want to sit home or go to a game rather than go to Worship our God. We have strayed so far and have been so disobedient. No wonder our Nation is in the predicament it is! Hopefully this has been repented of. I know this is a straight forward word, however I also am not about being a tickler of your ears. May God help us to live how Jesus Christ has called us to.

Go back to sleep or continue to march forward and declare the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to a hurt and divided nation?

    Moses was on the backside of the desert hiding for a long time !! Why because back in Egypt they wanted to kill him because Moses had killed a Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew.
    I love what God said to Moses “ don’t worry the men who wanted to kill you have all died !! Now go and tell Pharaoh
    Let my people go ! “

    Should we mention Rahab
    Can you imagine what would of been said about her

    Or Mary the mother of our Lord Jesus

Absolutely perfectly expressed! Thank you. I just listened to Dutch Sheets’ “Give Him 15” for Nov 28 regarding David and Goliath, where he compares the intercessors to David.

Dutch states, “…We are warring against lies and injustice. … there is no record of David asking God to help him when He faced Goliath. He already knew God’s will. So, he simply declared his faith that God would assist him, and what he was going to do to the giant…
Job 22:28 states, “You will decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways”… David understood [the SPOKEN will of Yahweh] as a sword in his mouth (Ephesians 6:17). And if we are going to take out today’s giants, we will need the same weapon – spirit-led decrees that become the sword of the Lord when released from our mouths.”

Thank you for your exhortation – I am again ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with other soldiers fighting this battle, declaring in the authority of Jesus, “The hidden corruption in the U.S. government is exposed and righteousness is brought to this land. Those responsible are brought to justice and to their knees seeking forgiveness and salvation in Christ.”

Led by the very Spirit of God, many intercessors have been praying for years,long before President Trump, for corruption to be exposed at every level single level of government, for wicked bought politicians to be driven out and replaced with God fearing leaders who won’t be bought and will do right by America. Also with that the Lord had me praying for human trafficking to be exposed.

I know President Trump was an answer to our many prayers and why would He lead me a and many to pray these precise prayers unless He was going to not only do something major but endure victory? I know He wouldn’t. Praise You Mighty God and King!

The wicked who say there is no God came together in their confusion and ignorance of the Word of God that still applies to them despite their rejection of it to form what they believe is a giant that can’t be defeated. They’ve exalted themselves in the land. This is God’s specialty. And oh how they will be humbled.

Truly as the Word states, they will fall into every net, pit, and trap they set for this nation. And will be hung on Haman’s gallows as you stated.

I praise God for a president who is a fighter and not a typical “play nice, it’s okay if you walk all over me, do nothing” believer.

I’m personally not bothered or offended by Pres Trump and his personality at all. Or how he speaks to the enemies of our nation. I love seeing him kick butt and take names. So needed in dealing with wicked Goliath.

And we remember some of the words of Jesus to others: Serpents. Brood of vipers. White washed tombs. Hypocrites. How do you think you’ll escape hell?, etc. Get behind me satan!

I see how the Lord has even used Pres Trump to expose believers, even church leaders, who need deliverance from demonic, religious spirits. As if God doesn’t use highly imperfect people with highly imperfect pasts. Look in the mirror God’s people.

Man sees the outward. God looks on the heart. He’s not concerned about Pres Trump’s delivery method. But what his heart and its intentions were and are.

God using Pres Trump is also evidence of His grace. He chooses what man thinks is foolish to confound those who think they are wise.

There is no way that Jezebel’s puppet Ahab, Biden, could have won.

I too believe He’s heard all our prayers for years. Our humility, repentance, praise, worship, etc. And He will get the glory in this election, so like Pharoah, they, the whole world, will know that He is God! Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!

    Thank you for seeing God is wiser than us. I, too, am not offended by Trump. We have long needed a warrior. I would encourage those who are “offended” by Trump to “not think too highly of themselves “.

      Amen, dear sister. Let us keep praying His will into the earth!

      The Word says for this very purpose Jesus came – to destroy the works of the devil. Pretty much the definition of Biden/Harris camp and the demons behind them – all works of the devil.

      So Lord we praise You and join our faith with Your Word and will that the works of the devil are destroyed in America and the nations.

      In the name of Jesus…

      Every instance of voter fraud and corruption in this land and the nations – DESTROYED by Your name and blood and brought to justice.

      Abortion, the shedding of innocent blood, assisted suicide, the spirits of death and destruction – DESTROYED by Your name and blood.

      Perversion, sexual identity agendas, human trafficking – DESTROYED by Your name and blood and all traffickers brought into the light and to swift and severe earthly justice.

      The demonic agendas and plans associated with socialism, communism, and the false global demonic reset in America and the nations – DESTROYED by Your name and blood.

      Disorder, chaos, confusion and the dark powers behind them – DESTROYED by Your name and blood.

      False churches and false shepherds leading Your people astray who deny the Holy Spirit and are ashamed of Him and teach every kind of lie against You – exposed and their evil words DESTROYED by Your name and blood.

      I felt His manifest presence all over me as I typed the above e words by His leading.

      He desires that His people rise up in the blood bought authority as Kings and Queens in Christ and confront and defeat evil through spiritual warfare – for He has purchased power over ALL the enemy by His precious blood.

      That the church take Him for His word, stop allowing others to make them feel foolish, for the power we operate in is not ours but God’s Himself, the most powerful weapons upon the face of the earth are available to those IN Christ – the Word, the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit. We are the very carriers of the kingdom of God. May the church get this revelation of our high calling and act accordingly.

      Sorry for the Lord response…it all just poured out of me.

      We praise You, Lord Jesus!!!

        We are burden to pray for US elections because this is the last country shining as a beacon of hope in Jesus for the free world. Should this light be extinguished, the end would come quickly with no one else to look to.
        This generation would perish as darkness will overtake all forms of education, religious freedom, sanctity of life, objective truth, false church doctrines, no rights to thoughts and no God.
        I know that President Trump may be the only significant person pushing back for the right of the church to continue to exist in its current form as many church leaders are still asleep, complacent and compliant to the establishment across the globe.
        The Christians in Canada are complacent and not informed of the truth about elections because of the false narratives from the press.
        I pray that the Lord would one last time pour out His Spirit to spare this generation and open the hearts, eyes, awake his children to the full Gospel before the darkness englove this world. I believe President Trump is given this mandate to bring not only America back to God but as a hope for the whole world to see God’s mercy and truth.
        Shalom and take heart for the Lord is never late nor lack of power to do what He has decided for His children as they seek His Face and pray to him.

          I agree with everything you stated. It’s a spiritually discerned thing. In His goodness, He caused us to understand this so we can pray with fervency.

          I prayed with you in prayer prayers. I pray for Canada to be set free from every work and lie from satan and for wicked leaders to be exposed, driven out, and replaced with righteous one who love and fear God and can’t be bought. For the people of Canada to be shaken from their slumber by the Lord. And be filled with His fire to do all He called them to for the sake of souls and to set captives free and for holiness and justice to fill your land in Jesus’ name amen.

          You have much more discernment than even some Americans including leaders in the church.

          I praise God for your eyes that see and ears that hear the things of God and so thankful for your prayers. It matters deeply to us and the Lord. God bless you and yours.

Well you were right. Why so much of your personal opinion as an intercessor was necessary I am not sure. It distracts and does not unify and you seem to take pleasure in that. The lengths to which Satan has set up a stronghold in our country and the world is deep. We needed someone who was strong enough to trust God and endure the fight. God chose President Trump. He knew everything about him and still chose him. Who are we to complain about the fact that he isn’t perfect. All that colorful language wasn’t necessary to get your point across. I’m going to put it aside and try to continue to use this Intercessors page to pray for our country and leadership. Our opinion of the man God chose for this time doesn’t matter. Only trusting God and continuing in prayer. I will add that I hope no one will be offended enough to stop praying collectively with IFA. That would surely mean the enemy was successful as he loves to distract and separate.

    I disagree, Wanda. I believe the “color”, as you put it, was perfectly employed to connect with those who have struggled with many of the same ideas and yet are still drawn to support and pray for this seemingly odd choice of leader whom God has raised up. Thank you for your years of obedience and diligent prayer.

Well, one big thing you were wrong about is: I paid attention to the entire article and found nothing to get “ticked” with you about! 🥰 I agree and I especially agree that it looks like God is going to expose wicked evildoers around the entire globe!!! Hallelujah! When God Almighty works, He goes far beyond anything we could have thought up in our own minds. I agree that the battle is fierce and we still have much to see and we must continue in fervent prayer, but the battle IS the Lord’s and His victory is always assured! All praise and honor and glory to our Lord God Almighty and King of Kings and the Just Judge! Let us all shout praise and thanksgiving until the heavens are shaken!

On a side note, I think our “Nebuchadnezzar” is learning a lot about the Lord of the universe and he may even be learning some humility. I pray every day that he is on his knees in private with the Lord at this time – and, while we don’t know if Nebuchadnezzar ever came to a saving faith in God, I believe President Trump is a Christian who is growing through this (as are we all).

Thank you for this uplifting word! Battle on, Christians!!! 🙏

    Thank you Laura – isn’t it interesting that Nebuchadnezzar was described as the “head of gold”? ;-^)

    And the last we hear of him in the book of Daniel was his humble declaration of the Creator:

    “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”

    Lord, may our President be brought to a point in his walk with You that he publicly declares his sin and Your righteousness. Amen!

I enjoyed reading your article. I have been a Trump supporter from the moment he came down the escalator.
I think we all need to remember we are sinners with an eternal destiny. Our path may be rocky and not the “norm” but God has specific journeys in mind for each of us.
God is blessing President Trump for Trumps faithfulness to Israel and to the fight of freedom. It may not be in “the way” we thought but it serves Gods purpose and that’s all that matters.
We have plenty of biblical characters who failed: David, Samson, Moses… who had moral failings but still used by God.
I keep praying for protection, and wisdom for all in this fight against communism!

Praise God for his faithfulness . He is not yet through with us as we stand as his armor bearers. We Cont.to stand on the wall with the sword of the word and the gospel of faith. We press in to a higher place with Him knowing that the battle is not against flesh and blood , but of spiritual evil and darkness . We Cont. to pray for the powers of evil to fall,and that no weapon formed against America will prosper. ( In Jesus name) !

    Yes. Even though it’s hard, Jesus told us to pray for our enemies.Christ died for them too. Who knows He may bring them to repentance and salvation. He desires all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.Pray that God’s perfect will and His justice will prevail for that will be for the good of all.

Trump has been a type of “Scape Goat” (Leviticus 16). While being blamed for everything the ones blaming are simultaneously being exposed for there evil. Not only has so much evil been exposed on the left, but so has the cowardice of many on the right. Like with Gideon, God us raising up who he can work with so he gets the Glory!
