I Prayed have prayed
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior….” 1 Timothy 2:1-3

In a letter to his GOP colleagues sent Sunday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy discussed this week’s one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The leader once again condemned the actions of those who broke the law, but also warned that Democrats in Congress will continue to leverage the events as a “partisan political weapon to further divide our country…”

“Our Capitol should never be compromised and those who broke the law deserve to face legal repercussions and full accountability,” McCarthy wrote. “Unfortunately, one year later, the majority party seems no closer to answering the central question of how the Capitol was left so unprepared and what must be done to ensure it never happens again. Instead, they are using it as a partisan political weapon to further divide our country…”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced a several events this week at the to mark the anniversary of the riot including lawmakers’ eyewitness testimonials, a prayer vigil with members of the Senate. However, the House is not in session until next week.

 

 

McCarthy’s continued criticism of Democrats’ handling of the post-January 6 investigation dates back to Pelosi rejecting his five picks to serve on the select committee…

Pelosi responded by calling the panel a “beautiful committee” that is ” bipartisan, patriotic, solemn and serious.”

McCarthy has repeatedly questioned whether the committee is capable of reaching an unbiased conclusion pertaining to its investigation, and if the panel is really focused on the question of the security failures that left the Capitol vulnerable on January 6, as opposed to a partisan investigation into various members of the Trump administration and their congressional allies.

Many news outlets are reporting that the January 6 anniversary will be an opportunity for the Democrats to pass sweeping voting ‘rights’ legislation. How are you praying for Congress this week? Please share your insight and discernment in the comments.

Psalm 22:22-26
English Standard Version

22 I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted,
and he has not hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he cried to him.
25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;
my vows I will perform before those who fear him.
26 The afflicted[a] shall eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the LORD!
May your hearts live forever!

Any issue can be wielded as a “political weapon,” and both parties are well practiced at it.

The main goal of this investigation is to assure that such an event does not happen again.

In Jesus name I block and bind any evil agenda against the event of the Jan 6th happening and I decree exposure of all events especially the ones hidden for political leverage. I decree whistle blowers explosion. I bind the false narratives and loose truth in media, government and across America. HIs truth is marching on. Glory, Glory Haleleuia

Lord, you are our refuge, our joy and our strength. You see all and know the heart of your people. I ask, Father, that you shine your light of truth brighter upon the capitol, the events and people of January 6 and bring to justice and light the true enemies. Bring to your light truth that those who are so unjustly treated and cast shall be freed and our nation vote truthfully. In Jesus name.

I don’t think it should have taken a year for an investigation. The US is very slow to determine fault or give the public answers. Is there an ongoing investigation regarding the protests last summer or the current “smash and grab” incidents plaguing businesses? Those involved are on camera, so why not?
I pray for the filibuster to continue as this is the only way to keep the party in charge from passing whatever legislation they please.
I also pray for America to continue as a democratic country and not be swayed by those groups that have a socialistic agenda.

Father, Thank you for hearing the cries of our hearts. I pray that you would move on the people of West Virginia to convince Joe Manchin to become a Republican or Independent voting conservative in order to block the inordinate moves of this Democratic government. We stand against the spirit of deception and the ground that it has taken and we forbid (bind) it’s activity – calling on the light and truth of God to be made known to all. May your Glory and Jesus Name be made known throughout the earth!!

    January 4, 2022

    This is the email I received. please pray that this is peaceful and there is no violence or riots. It is sad how deceived they are to the truth of what really happened.

    Dear MoveOn member,

    When I think about the deadly January 6 riot at the Capitol, the fear runs through my entire body all over again because I know that those involved, including right-wing elected officials, are celebrating what they did that day as they continue to attack our elections, democracy, and freedom to vote.

    Since the insurrection, lawmakers in multiple states have made it easier for partisan Republican officials to overturn election results, made it unnecessarily hard to vote, drawn maps that don’t fairly represent the diverse population of their states, obstructed the January 6 commission in Congress, and so much more, while treating the insurrectionists like heroes and echoing lies and disinformation about the 2020 election.1

    This January 6, 2022, we need to show up and defend the values, country, and democracy we believe in. Will you join an outdoor vigil near Arvada to mark the anniversary and demand action to hold insurrectionists accountable and defend our elections and freedom to vote? With over 150 events across the country, we’ll make sure our elected officials are prepared to take action as they return to Washington, D.C.

    Legislation to protect our votes and our democracy has already passed the House of Representatives. This includes the Freedom to Vote Act which expands access to voting in every state; the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act which prevents discriminatory voting laws from taking effect; and the Protecting Our Democracy Act, which combats the partisan attacks and unethical behavior we saw under the Trump administration.2,3

    Republicans have made it clear that they have no intention of stopping their disinformation, voter suppression, and attacks on free and fair elections—and they have no intention of helping solve the problems by even allowing debate in the Senate. With state legislative sessions about to start in the new year, even more states will consider laws making it easier for extremist politicians to overturn the will of the voters.4

    The Senate must act to protect our democracy. RSVP to a candlelight vigil near Arvada on January 6, 2022, to mark this chilling anniversary and demand action.

    MoveOn members have been taking action all year to hold the seditionists in the Capitol accountable for their role in the insurrection, including building public pressure to expel them from Congress for treason and running ads demanding GM keep its word and stop political donations to insurrectionists. Together, we’ve laid the groundwork, and now it is up to Democrats in the Senate to take it over the finish line.

    Sign up now for an outdoor January 6 vigil to demand accountability, justice, and protections against future insurrections.

    Thanks for all you do.

    –Emma, David, Evelyn, Vickie, and the rest of the team

We stand in prayer in this new year 2022 to battle in fervent prayer without ceasing against the spiritual forces in high places where their only focus is to devour, kill, and destroy. We know people are being used to bring the evil devilish agendas to destroy our Republic.
We stand in the power, dominion and authority given to the Ekklesia true believers and followers of Jesus the Christ by Holy Spirit to speak against these evil demon forces. According to Luke 9:1 we have been given power and authority over all demons. Luke 10:17 Demons are subject to us in the Name of JESUS. Even the demons believe and they TREMBLE in His name. James 2:19.
Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:24. Is on His Throne.
So we come forth Father as Your Children before Your Throne Room united in one accord, and we speak to the rumbling storms of evil agendas, plans, strategies, plotting right now in secret places their atrocities, executing deceit, malice, corruption and more as they plot to destroy. But Father You see it all and nothing surprises You.
We step forward boldly now Father as Your sons and we speak to that cloud of darkness and doom. In JESUS name Satan your agenda for 2022 will Not prevail! You have been defeated.. We send forth the mighty Angelic Army to strike down and tear and demolish all barricades, walls, divisions, obstruction, everything that is bringing caos and destruction to this Nation of the USA. We say no more! In Jesus name, all evil works and agenda burn, burn! No more intrusion of evil forces in the minds of people. In Jesus name..
Father let Your mighty Will and plan come down to earth now and may men have access to Your Divine intervention in their hearts and turn to you whole heartly in repentance. Let Your Will be done now on earth as it is in heaven.
We know that You are for us, and You stand with us. We Love You Father.. And we have prayed in the mighty name if Jesus, amen, amen 🙏 🙌 ❤ Shalom

McCarthy is just another Repub in the mold of Ryan and Boehner. Repubs will not preserve Liberty and Freedom in this country. They will allow it to be whittled away, while the Communist NWO democRats impose their Tyranny.
The Founders Prayed, then Fought. Did We change or had God Changed???

It is said, hindsight is 20/20. Trump holding a rally anywhere near the Capitol after the 2020 election was not a wise decision. When the enemy has you in his sights, one tactic he uses is “guilty by association”. Just being in proximity to the riots gave the enemy an opportunity to link Trump to the bad behavior. With the media and democrats in the house, it was fairly easy to snowball this event. The enemy develops a narrative, then feeds it to keep it going and get all he can out of it to steal, kill, and destroy.
Oh Father, give the leaders we support wisdom and discernment to open their eyes to the tactics of the enemy. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that can reveal these spiritual matters. May they learn from this mistake and become strong to outwit the enemy. I also pray for discernment for all off us intercessors praying for our nation. May your Spirit guide us to focus on the real enemy and not get sidetracked on issues that only bring fear and confusion. Mature us in our sufferings. May our unanswered prayers drive us to seek you more and surrender ourselves. We ask for your divine wisdom to move through this minefield of information being thrust on us on a daily basis. I speak peace, quiet and solitude be given to each and every intercessor so we may understand the mind of Christ who lives in us and works through us. May our hope be in You. Untangle us from the cares of this crazy world and protect us from the snares the enemy throws at us. For You are our God and we trust You with our lives in this world and in the one to come.

The liberals are making this critical effort a criticism of themselves. They continue to spiral downward. Lord – provide a place of self-reflection among all involved. An openness to discussion and conclusion where the best results can emerge. Remove Satan’s influence. Bring value and appreciation to play.
When something isn’t working after several serious tries (three for me), God is saying – STOP. He has another path or direction for us to go. We rely on you Lord to bring the best into our nation, which began with your influence. We look for your leadership. Thank you. AMEN

The mainstream media is starting the year with video and monologues on the “worst” event in history. They are not waiting for Nancy’s committee.
When will the news media actually report the news and not left wing talking points? They stoke the fires of division with their evil “misinformation”.

Dear Lord I pray that all truth come out in the January 6 investigation, and that justice will be served. I ask that January 6 be not used as a political weapon, and that the Democratic Party not take advantage of the situation , that any bill that they would bring out regarding voting rights would fail. In Jesus’ name

Oh God, our Just Judge, I pray that people will not be deceived about the events of January 6th by those who have been using it as a political weapon. I pray that more and more of the truth about that day will be exposed. Make known the truth about why additional security was turned down when offered to Pelosi ahead of time, and about any who infiltrated the crowd to purposely instigate the riot.
We need to see real justice done on behalf of those who have been wrongfully held for the past year on trumped up charges.
Expose those who are actually responsible for the wrongdoing and vindicate those who have been wrongfully accused.

McCarthy’s language is still one of “us” vs. “them; of government vs. the People.
Let us focus on the junta and eradicating thieves of elections rather than on making government less “accessible”
Once we see members of the government prosecuted, convicted and meaningfully sentenced by a reformed (purged) DOJ and Fed LEA’s, and .gov’s credibility thusly restored, then we can go all kumbaya

Dear Lord Jesus, please pour our your wisdom upon the anniversary of January 6th, and all of the congress, and the Jan.6th commission, Nancy Pelosi, and everyone in our government. I especially pray for our leaders to be lead by Your wisdom and direction. Give them cause to listen to the promptings of Holy Spirit, rather than trying to pass sweeping “voting reform” legislation, which will do nothing to reform our voting processes. I ask this in Jesus’ holy name.

Dear Abba Father, I pray wisdom ahead of January 6th. May it prevail in congress and in every group planning events. Your word says wisdom was with You before the work of creation. Wisdom was a skilled craftsman at Your side, rejoicing in Your presence as You established all. This is my prayer. May wisdom guide our leaders in every plan to mark this occasion. May it be crafted in wisdom. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom. Amen

    We also need to pray for January 7, 2022 this Friday. The vaccine and test mandate OSHA wants as ordered by the Biden Regime goes to Supreme court. We need to pray it doesn’t pass because if it does 84 million people will be affected including myself by losing our jobs unless we get that shot or tested.I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ that those affected by this will have a victory and won’t lose our jobs and have to get the shot or weekly testing.

I was alerted to January 6 in prayer recently 2x and then led to a passage in James 5.

I continue to pray for God to have mercy on us all. I stand in identification repentance on behalf of this unauthorized administration and the subs of our nation. I call them that because that is what the Lord told me they were – “Unauthorized by Him and all of heaven.” My hope is in the Lord and I remind God of His covenant with those who are humbling themselves, confessing, repenting and turning from evil. That as we persevere under this oppression and persecution He will be faithful to keep us and deliver us. Below is the passage I was led to in James recently.

Rich Oppressors Will Be Judged
James 5:1-9 NKJV
[1] Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! [2] Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. [3] Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. [4] Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. [5] You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. [6] You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you. [7] Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. [8] You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. [9] Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

On Veterans day, November 11, 2021 the Lord placed upon my heart to undertake 70 days of prayer and intercession for this nation and it ends on January 20, 2022.
Today’s article is partly in a way answered prayer: “Will Jan 6 anniversary be used as a political weapon”
The 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan said “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. we didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. it must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”
We are all aware that a house divided against itself cannot stand. We must pray for our elected leaders irrespective of their party affiliation to uplift the course of national unity by representing the constitution and values that taught all citizens the importance of the Union as one nation under God.
I concur with apostle Paul that “Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior”
There is no power greater that PRAYER Power for “God changes the times and the seasons: He removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding” (Daniel 2:21).
Let us not be weary of our Prayers and Intercessions for I believe there is a major breakthrough coming soon from the Prayers of the saints. I am still Praying expectantly.
To God alone be the glory, honor and praise.

A kingdom divided against itself will not stand. Not “might not stand” – will not stand. How we can unite is beyond my understanding. For God to have patience with us as a nation that permits, promotes, and applauds sin is nothing short of amazing. Democrats in Washington seem determined to divide. Yes, they will use this. Can we expect anything else from our Democrat leaders? I confess I find hard to pray because I have almost no hope. But I will pray.

The Speaker of the House has chosen a Select Committee to protect her own interests. I believe the Sergeant of Arms knows , ‘ who knew what and when ‘. It was Pelosi’s responsibility to protect the House, and she had information that there might be trouble and did not act on it. She needs to be questioned . Instead she is shifting blame and using the Committee to shield herself.

The Demoncrats will absolutely use Jan. 6 to politicize the events of that day and divide us further. We must take congress back for sure. If they succeed in nationalizing federal voting I’m afraid of what could transpire.
