I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we ask that our leaders will rightly discern and act upon terror threats in the U.S. We ask for your protection upon our nation and its people. Amen.

On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a new terrorism warning. The list of potential terror threats should give IFA readers reason for concern.

Before the bulletin released on Friday, the Senate held hearings last week on the domestic terror threats. Here’s what the Center for Security Policy had to say about it:

“For well over a year now, the Biden Administration, Democratic politicians and the so-called mainstream media have bombarded Americans with the claim that the greatest terrorism threat comes from “white supremacists” and “right-wing” extremists….

U.S. & World News Report wrote this: The Department of Homeland Security on Friday issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin warning of the threat of extremist violence as the coronavirus spreads widely again and the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001…approaches.

“The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence,” the bulletin says. “These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences.”…

This is how NBC News summed up the most important terror threats in America.
Our prayers are needed desperately. It is difficult not to imagine that political bias and/or animus are fueling these terrorist designations. How are you praying? What are you sensing from the Lord? Please share in the comments.

It’s clear that ALL the bad actors in our Intelligence community and the illegitimate sock-puppet Biden admin. are ‘demonizing’ patriots, white people [I’m Puerto Rican], and over 80 million (yes Matilda it was at least that many) legal American citizens who voted enthusiastically for our real President Donald J. Trump. ‘The Deep State’ is scared spineless and are planning False Flag disasters to try to retain power. They blame parents who oppose the bioweapon remedy Fauci/Gates poison jabs which use aborted baby dead RNA, anyone who dares question the massive fraud of the 2020 Election (ALL fifty states), and our Freedom of Faith expression. Since when is national patriotism racist or violent? It is obvious that they will not tolerate resistance, and would have arrested and prosecuted our Founding Fathers who stated eloquently the danger of an unjust tyrannical government… on all levels.

Are WE Praying STILL? Faith is NOW more critical than ever… NOT despondent surrender- for we MUST know that YHVH GOD will not put up with this much longer! The Wrath of our Righteous LORD Jesus Christ is about to be unleashed in miraculous ways! Can WE just believe that ‘Righteousness & Justice’ are the Foundations of His Throne? AMEN… The bowls of our united intercession are tilting and Truth WILL prevail… AMEN!

St. Michael the Archangel pray for us. The good people of the United States and around the world are being maligned. Do not believe the lies, pray and act with righteousness.

Obviously, as people who are conservatives, who love our country, and love our God, we are being “set up” as “threats.” What they don’t realize is when Christians are taken out of this world, by Jesus, they are really going to see what a threat is! To ignore real threats, though, such as the terrorists, drug cartels, etc. that are coming through our borders every day, is insanity and very irresponsible!
I’m sure most of the IFA believers are not too surprised by this. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be concerned! It is a very real. We have a biased government who is literally planning to put us in a category that we don’t belong in. We love our God, we love our country, we are no threat to anyone but Satan and his kingdom! Our weapon is PRAYER!! So, no one should be afraid of that, they should welcome it! The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but, mighty, through God, to the pulling down of strongholds!

We are dealing with the stronghold of the spirit of witchcraft: lying, deception, manipulation, control. We need to pray against this.
Lord, give us Your Holy Spirit of wisdom, counsel, might, revelation, insight, strategies to come against all this.
Lord, send Your armies of angels to overpower the strongholds and defeat them. Deliver people and leaders from their control.
Set captives free from imprisonments if all types. Convict people of their sins and draw them to repent and accept You as their savior and lord.
Unite Your people to rise and stand against all evil. Be glorified in and by Your people. Send Your light to expose all evil in all places.
Lord, sit as Judge in the high court of heaven and have Your will and judgments completed on earth as You have declared them in heaven. Implement Your will in heaven through the judges of the courts on earth who are hearing many cases that will save our country from destruction.
Be glorified oh Lord on earth as You are in heaven. Hallowed be Your name Lord! Hallowed be Your name!! All glory belongs to You in Jesus name.
Hallelujah! Amen!

Dear Jesus, we look to You! You, oh Lord, are our Commander-in-Chief! We are here, waiting for Your command. We do not know what to do. Draw us closer to You so that we can hear and know what it is You want us to do. Let us be sensitive to your voice, and draw us close enough to You so we can hear your heartbeat. The world does not understand us, as they do not understand You. Reveal Yourself to those who do not know You. Help us to shine Your Light of Love upon a world of hate. This is Your world, Lord, and we are Your people. May Your perfect will be done on this earth as it is in Heaven. Amen

This is not to be taken seriously. No Christian or conservative should be playing into their hands. Let Antifa and BLM have the headlines. We have the Creator of the Universe. They have The School of Resentment. We have a Lord and Savior. Let us live as He would have us live and walk in His steps. We have nothing to fear.

The government and the bureaucrats are fearful and grasping at air because they lack faith and seek power. Their religion is progressivism, and it is right up there with the worshippers of Baal – it does not end well for them. They have to tell people that they are victims of oppression, we already know someone had already won the victory over sin and death on our behalf. They promote falsehoods like CRT, identity politics, gender fluidity, and they lack even a basic understanding of stewardship as we’ve seen with runaway spending and governmental waste. We need to boldly pray for them for they are lost.

Heavenly Father, in you, resides all hope and promise. Without you, we are living in darkness. Thank you for loving us and blessing our nation. Thank you for the gift of this nation and its bounty. Let those of us who know you and love you as our Father lead by the examples of our love for our enemies, let us be charitable and rich in forgiveness. We pray for those in leadership positions to recognize their greater purpose, like ours, is to love you and love one another more than they love themselves. We ask this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

    August, thank you for your heart and your prayer.
    Indeed, we do have nothing to fear, for Jesus has repeatedly promised to be with us, even to prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies!

    Our Pastor just preached on Psalm 91, esp verse 2, and listed many things which might tempt us to fear. But, with EACH such mention, he thundered:
    NO, I will say of the LORD, “HE is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in HIM I will trust.”

    He encouraged each of us to say aloud this powerful word of God, which spoke into existence the world and everything in it (and which has lost none of that power), but to say it often, to increase our faith, because faith comes by hearing the Word of God!

    Psalm 91:2 (NO to fear) I will say of the LORD,”He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I will trust.” might even be something we could boldly proclaim with a smile to anyone who comes against us, tempting us to fearfully bow to anyone but God himself.

      Thank you for your words and encouragement, Cynthia. Especially, boldly proclaiming with a smile, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” Being steeped in the Word is our greatest source of strength, courage, and promise. Proclamation with a smile is indeed a powerful witness.

“So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven. And I said: “I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations; but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’ Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand. O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” For I was the king’s cupbearer.” Nehemiah‬ ‭1:4-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

LORD today I pray this same prayer Nehemiah prayed so long ago. I pray that our nation repents and turns to You LORD before You give them over to their depraved ways. LORD I pray that You send Your angels to help us fight this spiritual war that is raging on the earth right and most especially in America & Afghanistan. LORD I pray for Your people that are stranded in Afghanistan that You shine a light on them so we can try to help them. I pray for the church & that we are like the churches in Smyrna & Philadelphia. I pray these are the only churches in America, even though I know in my that Satan has set his synagogue & his throne in America. This nation was once a bright light & beacon of hope for the world until we let Satan in our homes, schools, churches. I pray our dim light is restored through repentance of our people. We must tear down their altars & not allow false gods! LORD, You alone are the ONLY living God and there’s no other. America, get on your knees, fast, repent, pray! I pray You forgive us LORD for our sins & that You will incline Your ear to hear this prayer. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!

    My dear Kathy, thank you for the kind of prayer we need to be praying. Forgivness is the key that unlocks the doors to our Lord’s heart. Some have said we have repented enough; but I say not we don’t truely understand repentance until the Lord gets ahold of us and we see His mighty Hand move in and on the hearts of mankind. Yes, I join you in fasting and deep prayer for all the atrisities all around the world especially in our nation. We have left our first love and God is jealous and wants His bride to return before it is too late. May our lamps be filled with oil and ready what He comes. May our hearts be right before God and then we can tear down all the stronghold of the enemy for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but principalities and rulers in the darkness of this world. So we call upon all the men and women of God to fast and pray with a ferversency that rocks the evil forces off their footing. For with God all things are possible. Lord help us be comitted to You as never before. You are our source of all things. In Jesus Name.

It is high time that the Church awaken and arise. Dear Lord, we need discernment more than ever. Lord, let us NOT sit back and NOT accept the lies and massive deception that this country was NOT founded on. Rend our hearts and help us to fast and pray like never before. Help us to humble ourselves, cry out to You, and repent of our sins and You will heal our land. Your Word says that. I know ALL situations are in Your hands. In Jesus Name and Authority I pray, Amen.

Now is no time for us to sit back and wring our hands! Appeal to Heaven! Let the Church of Jesus Christ BE THE CHURCH, ARISE, humble ourselves, and appeal to God’s root of Mercy.
THIS IS SPIRITUAL WAR!
Armor up on the Word, fast and pray like never before! Rend our hearts!
Jeremiah 9:17-18,20,23-24 NLT
This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: “Consider all this, and call for the mourners. Send for the women who mourn at funerals. Quick! Begin your weeping! Let the tears flow from your eyes. Listen, you women, to the words of the LORD; open your ears to what he has to say. Teach your daughters to wail; teach one another how to lament. This is what the LORD says: “Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the LORD, have spoken!
AMEN

Father, I do not know how to pray but You know all, all situations are in Your hands. I pray Your perfect protection on this nation as we struggle against the powers we cannot touch. I pray You hear all of our prayers and have mercy on us Lord. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Savior. Amen

We wrestle not against flesh & blood but against principalities & powers in high places.

Walk in the Spirit of the God who is Truth. Faith, prayers, righteousness in all things. Prayer is the offensive weapon to be used in all areas of our lives and at all times.

God placed these people for such a time as now, Pray for God’s work to be completed to the fullest in our hearts, and in our churches, and in our communities, in our Nation, and in His world. Praise to Jehovah Almighty!

    Yes, agree wholeheartedly, Chris. I would add that Ephesians 6:14-17 speaks about putting on our armor. The sword of the Spirit is the offensive weapon of our armor and is very powerful to use.
    “17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

    Most Holy God, protect us, give us strength and courage as we continue to fight in Your holy and righteous name. Let there be a nationwide revival, that we would once again be a God fearing people.

    I pray Psalm 91 over God’s army.

Oh, Lord Jesus, we still have much to praise you for! But for how long? I think we will always have reason to give you praise! We are sickened and saddened by what is going on in our country. At the same time Afghanistan is falling to our enemies the Taliban, we are being called traitors and worse by our fellow countrymen in the media and in our own government. Our President is spineless. Yet some in the media still praised him. I ask You to uphold our constitution. I know this Administration has basically ignored 2 Supreme Court decisions. Where are the others holding them accountable? I am grieving for my children and grandchildren. What will they face? You know! You are Sovereign! These times are still in your hands. Help us your church to stand up! To be strong and courageous! Please Lord give us wisdom, guidance and the peace that passes all understanding. We need You! We love You! We still yet praise You. I can never thank you enough.

Lord God, Almighty One, Creator of Heaven and Earth, we cry out to You! Hear our prayers. Turn our hearts to repentance and obedience to You. Grant us wisdom, discernment, boldness and strength as You call us to stand firm and hold fast to The Truth. Grant us hope as the days grow darker and lead us through each moment. Help us to Trust in You Lord, and lean not on our own understanding. In all ways, help us to acknowledge You as You direct our path. (Prov 3:5-6). Ready Your bride as we wait with great anticipation for Your soon return! Maranatha, Lord Jesus, come quickly! In Your Name we pray!

The most alarming of all is that the Church was not considered a threat. Assembly to worship and praise our GOD. That should have been #1. God help us we are witnessing the communist overtake the greatest Nation in the world. Earthquakes, wars, rebellion, sin.. Lord of the harvest, burn up the chaff and bring the wheat into your storehouse. Forgive us O GOD, save the children, Forgive us. 🙏

After learning about the bio engineering of human/animal hybrids that is being funded in the infrastructure bill (the bio engineers are using aborted fetal cells combined with animal embryos to manufacture the human/animal hybrids) I felt desperately horrified about what our government was doing that goes completely against Gods creation! I was and still am grieved in my spirit at the depths of our depravity as a nation! We are bringing a terrible judgement on our people because our government is funding detestable programs. Maybe it’s not to late to repent and turn from our wicked ways!
That’s my prayer to Lord Jesus/
Yeshua! My second prayer is Lord Come Quickly! Amen
