Watching the news with a biblical lens always offers an alternative view that can guide our prayer lives. At the core of every story there are men and women created by God, in the image of God, and spiritual forces working behind the scenes.
For instance: Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle. Basically a new country – six square blocks – seceded to a mob of protesters after the police chief was forced to abandon the station there.
News reports indicated that rapper Raz Simone, pictured here, is one of the leaders in this new land (although we were encouraged to read on his Twitter feed: “I’m not autonomous tho, I am an American citizen”).
This new land – CHAZ- has defined borders marked by signs and barrriers. There are reports of armed men guarding the borders, control of who comes and goes, and leaders requiring residents to pay for protection (although these reports are disputed). Read an eyewitness account on IFA HERE. The Police Department apparently will be replaced with the “People’s Department” where the new leaders determine their own laws and will enforce them somehow.
This is a perfect illustration of a truth that has played out over and over again throughout world history: there will never be an absence of authority. A vacuum of authority will always be filled by somebody. This also illustrates the necessity for the rule of law to always be enforced.
But when emotions are high, facts are irrelevant and VERY unpersuasive. For the most part, those involved in rioting, looting, and defacing public and private property are being driven by the emotions and feelings of injustice. Right facts are immaterial, the protesters are just feeling outrage. Facts that would indicate the truth is not on their side only incites more anger.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)
At the core of all of us is the need to have faith in something: Faith in relationships, in leaders, in our church, in our government, in God. Faith that we are being led in the right direction. Faith that my leaders understand the big picture and have my needs in mind. Faith that someone will protect us.
At the core of all of us is the need for hope. Hope that our circumstances will get better, that we will be safe and prosperous. Hope that our troubles will go away.
At the core of all of us is the need for love. A love that cares for us in the way we want to be cared for.
This is what we see playing out before our eyes, men and women who want to have faith in a process – even if it is violent – and hope for a future where everyone is loved equally.
In a way, you can’t blame them. The image of God in their lives is coming through. They are fighting for three basic spiritual necessities of life – faith, hope and love. Of course, you could, and we must, question who they are putting their faith in, their unrealistic hope in sinful man, and their definition of love, but that would involve facts that feel irrelevant right now.
We need to pray for our nation at this time that those involved in protest would realize that they need a faith which is lasting. That hope in God would replace hope in revolutionary leaders. And most importantly, that the emptiness of false love would be felt and replaced by true love of our Lord Jesus.
Faith, hope, and love can best be experienced when there is rule of law and a populace committed to TRUTH and justice.
Justice can be best experienced when there is rule of law and a populace committed to TRUE faith, hope, and love.
It goes both ways.

These anarchists need the strong arm of the law or it will only get worse.
As Jesus practiced, law to proud, grace to the humble.
May God deliver us from evil.
“Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.” Psalm 68:1
After hearing David Kubal speaking on this Sundays TV program, Truths that Transform, which he spoke about borders and immigration, I have a question. It’s for the new CHAZ (country?) Do they oppose our securing of American borders. After all, aren’t they hypocrites if they are establishing a border and checking who is coming in? Someone needs to ask.
My prayer is that God will send in evangelists to preach Jesus where Protesters need Him. Let it be that God’s Spirit is poured out on those who are hungry for change. Let them have a change of heart, a new heart and a new Spirit in place of their hearts of stone, hearts of hurt and loneliness and helplessness.
I agree with you Emma. But a street preacher did go in and they beat him up.
We don’t stop praying just because they do not respond. This is a war, not a picnic. Remember that Satan does not just quit because someone prays. I know that we are in a spiritual war for the souls of our nation. But unless hearts change, there is no hope. These people are walking in darkness and think that changing the government can make their lives better. They believe the lies perpetrated by the main stream media, democrats who want power and being led by what they can see. They are putting their hope in “shifting shadows”.
but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”
Romans 15:21 ESV
Heavenly Father, I lift up to You Your servant that had gone into CHAZ to preach Your Gospel message. Father, we dont know the extent of injuries, but we pray for miracles. Jesus IS Lord, and I thank You for making a way. Father we pray for the hearers of that message, for a positive response. You have given us free will to turn away from Your gift, but I pray that there would be much fruit from the efforts of Your servant in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen
I disagree with the statement that rioters who are destroying lives and property is motivated by emotions of injustice. I believe the majority are funded and brought in by the “left” and couldn’t care less about Mr Floyd. They are criminals and thugs looking for an EXCUSE and place to commit their crimes
The leaders of these cities have abandoned their duty to ALL citizens, and to the governing of the USA! The Leaders need to take back their land and say “NO” to evil people who are destroyers, thugs, and thieves. There is no understanding the reason why this town has played into this evil, only to say that ” they are scared”
It’s anarchy and rebellion ( witchcraft), the root cause is sin. It’s just magnified to the point where it is obvious. It’s in all of us. That’s why we need Jesus.
Driven by feelings of injustice? I think not. What I see is greed, rebellion against authority, and racial hatred. We won’t resolve this until we speak truth about it.
Door to the Spirit realm:
Why are the illegals in the USA, because it was authorized by the church, by allowing illegals in the pulpit. Only those with an anointing & office from God Almighty have authority to legally lead an assembly, and this authority structure has been defined in scripture; 1st Corinthians 12:28, and neither pastors nor evangelists are not called to lead an assembly, they are not qualified or created for that purpose, although they do have a part in the congregation in general. 🕊🦅🕊🐴🕊🐃🕊
The way to tell if you are in a scriptural assembly is simple: 2nd Corinthians 12:12 is there an apostle leading the church doing Mighty Miracles? You see Miracles have to be there to establish the word, as in Luke 16:20. In some or many churches Satan worshiper have discovered an easy way to get a paycheck is to go to seminary and become a pastor, and as many pastors with no anointing from God Almighty, they can hide unnoticed, but that doesn’t seem to bother many church attendees, just more illegals in the church authorizing it in the government. 🕊🌹🕊💖🕊🇺🇸🕊🦅
One way to identify a God given assembly is everyone must participate, because you don’t want an illegal assembly, but of course this takes prayer and dedication to Jesus: 1 Cor 14:26 What then, brethren, is [the right course]? When you meet together, each one has a hymn, a teaching, a disclosure of special knowledge or information, an utterance in a [strange] tongue, or an interpretation of it. [But] let everything be constructive and edifying and for the good of all. AMP🕊🦅🐃🐴🇺🇸
Why do you think socialists and communists have taken over the democrat party, because giving has to be by the Spirit of the Eternal Lord, it is called “The Way,” the early church walked in “The Way,” or in the Spirit, they didn’t have scripture at least the gentile churches like Corinthians didn’t, and those that did, only had the old testament. When you don’t have a scriptural church you authorize it in the heavenly realm, because it is loosed in you on the earth and empower the prince of the power of the air [the accuser or devil] where it is also loosed. If you follow Jesus’ directions it leads very quickly to miracles: 1 Cor 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, (divers) kinds of tongues. ASV 🕊🦅🌹🐴💖🐃🇺🇸🕊🦅🌹🐴
Were you aware God Almighty El Shaddai doesn’t change his mind: Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ (is) the same yesterday and to-day, (yea) and forever. ASV🇺🇸🕊🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🐃🇺🇸🇺🇸💖🇺🇸🌹🕊
Fortunately Pres. Trump is an apostle and is protecting the church world wide, so guess what, the illegals are not going to be able to enter the USA soon. The Economy is a miracle and an ongoing miracle, so Pres. Trump qualifies for an apostle and the main servant of the church.
Police were not forced to leave – order came from mayor. Please be accurate and truthful. Peace,
Is God setting us up for a huge awakening? When everything else won’t satisfy and the cry in peoples’ hearts is for the things that only God can give, is He drawing people to Him?
Mighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob we come to you today in the name and blood of Yeshua in the authority of this name we bind the spirits of lawlessness and rebellion. We loose the fruits of the spirit of the living God love, joy, peace, kindness, patience and self control. Where there has been chaos bring the order of God. We repent for walking so far away from your laws and authority. We repent for our own vain imaginations. We ask that by the power of Holy Spirit of the living God you bring peace back into this nation and those that have accepted the bribe whose eyes and hearts have been blinded would either repent or be removed from their places of influence. This is a spiritual battle for this nation. We say in the name of Yeshua ” enough of the enemies schemes and ask you to bring chaos into his camp and we break the pitcher’s and blow the shofars and ask that the enemies camp turn their swords on each other and it would pierce their own hearts and bring division in their ranks. The ones financing this evil, they would either repent and turn from their evil ways or their monies would be taken and given to the righteous to use for the kingdom of God to bring healing in these communities and meet the felt needs of those that are hurting. We bind the spirit of division in Yeshuas name and loose unity. We bind the spirit of fear and loose faith. We break the death assignment on this nation and speak abundant life and to be full of Gods glory and presence in Yeshuas name Amen
I agree in Jesus’s Name! Amen!
Lord, I pray binding up and canceling these actions by anarchists, absolute, unadulterated violent anarchy, carving out by illegal force a piece of America, in the name of Jesus. Lord, I pray loosening and restoring this property back to our nation and these anarchists be swiftly brought to justice for their crimes in the name of Jesus. America wake up to truth and not the twisted lies of the anarchists and those evildoers pretending into righteousness.
When one violently breaks the law, justice must be swift, this is not a time for negotiated settlements. Lord, the evildoers have no standing for the Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the church in Roman, 13 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves, Romans 13:1-2, NASB.
These are the wolves in sheep’s clothing, 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves, Matthew 7:15 KJV. There is none righteous but God our Heavenly Father, Son Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit, 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one,” Romans 3:10-12 ESV. Amen
I pray that during times of this revolution that our country is facing.. we have leaders that can truly understand and navigate through these waters. The protest are real. They are seeking equal justice. My prayer is for God to truly shine a light on the leaders that trust and know His word!
The Blood of Jesus over our nation, our President, our communities. Lord we claim Your Will, Your Lordship, Your prophets, Your leaders to reign Supreme, in Jesus nameAmen
