A Prayer for Our Nation

Dear God, Thank you for your great power.  We praise you for your Truth.  We’re grateful that you have set us free from the clutching grasp of sin and death.

Would you be with your people, extending your grace, granting your freedom, providing your protection, and empowering with your strength.  We ask that you'd bring about an awakening of your presence to America as never seen before.  We ask that your Name be proclaimed, that all plans to silence the Name of Jesus would be thwarted and crushed.

We pray that many would come to know you as Lord and Savior, we pray that many would see your Light, that you would open blind eyes and release those still imprisoned.

We pray that you would unify your people for the glory of your Name, that all who call themselves Christians would rise up, believing your great Truth. 

Wake us up Lord! Remind us to live aware, to redeem the time, to listen to your words, to be willing to make a difference in this land.

We pray for all those in authority, that you would give them your wisdom and discernment as they lead. We ask that you would appoint strong, faithful men and women to serve this nation and our people.

We pray for your great healing on America. Shine your face on us dear God. We need you now, more than ever before. Our times are in your hands.

Thank you that you are rich in mercy and full of grace. Thank you that you are forgiving and merciful. Thank you that you are strong and mighty. Thank you that you are for us and that you fight for us still today. Bring honor to your Name, Oh Lord, for You alone are worthy.

In the Powerful Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.  (Debbie McDaniel  “Prayer for Our Nation: 25 Versus of Hope”  May 6, 2021)

                                                                 THEY BELIEVED A LIE

Marcella Ward    November 2, 2022

THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Genesis 3:1-5

3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

² The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, ³ but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

⁴ “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. ⁵ “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”  NIV

THE HOLOCAUST

“Europe’s extensive railway network of the 1930s and 1940s played a key role in the Holocaust. The deportation of millions of Jews to concentration camps such as Auschwitz in Poland was carried out mainly via rail.

Jews from all parts of German-occupied territories were bundled on to these trains. This process was often referred to as “resettlement to the east” by the Nazi regime.

The victims – including women and children – would be told that they were being hauled to labour camps. In reality, these were death camps where the largest known genocide in modern human history would unfold.”  (Times Now Digital Updated Jan 28, 2020)

MEDIA

I don’t know where to begin about the media’s lies!  Whether it be the “fake news” stations or social media i.e. twitter; Facebook, etc.  Another prime example are many politicians who lie just to get elected.   

WHAT IS TRUTH?

JOHN 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  ESV

JOHN 17:7

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. ESV

JOHN 8:32

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” ESV

It is of utmost importance for us to seek the truth.  Just because someone says something doesn’t mean that it is true. 

JOHN 8:44

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.  NIV

THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS   2 Thessalonians 2

2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, ² not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. ³ Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness^[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. ⁴ He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

⁵ Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? ⁶ And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. ⁷ For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. ⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. ⁹ The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, ¹⁰ and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. ¹¹ For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie ¹² and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Stand Firm

¹³ But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits^] to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. ¹⁴ He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

¹⁵ So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings^[c] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

¹⁶ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, ¹⁷ encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.  NIV

 We need to discern everything that we hear or see.  In this age of technology, where truth can so easily be manipulated, we need to seek sources of truth.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Adam and Eve believed a lie. Seek the truth and you will find it!

                                                    GOD IS OUR DELIVERER

IT’S TIME FOR THE EAGLE’S RELEASE  (Julie Green October 8, 2022)

“For I, the Lord, this day am reminding My children who the Great I AM really is. I am that God who delivered a nation out of the hands of the Egyptians. I am the God who parted the Red Sea. I am the God who tore down the walls of Jericho. I am the God who saved the three Hebrew men in the midst of a fiery furnace. I am the God who saved David from a giant. I am the God who sent His Son, who knew no sin, to become sin, to die and be raised again, to take Authority back from Satan, who stole it, and give it back to mankind. I am the same God in My written Word who keeps Covenant and My promises. I am the God who will not fail you. I will not leave you. I will not let your enemies win. I will never let Satan defeat My children or alter the plans I have.

Satan cannot push his will on Earth, nor do what he wants when he wants to do it.

I am the creator of Heaven and Earth, and no one can change that nor change My Will for this Earth.

 My children, be My children that the world needs you to be in this hour. Fight with My Authority- the Authority in the Name of Jesus, which is above everything and every name. This is the day and the hour the world will once again know the Great I AM does exist, and I am the Most High God who does not fail.

Watch, My children. Watch the world change suddenly. I am moving, and a great shaking is about to intensify, to shake you loose from their system and their control. Shout and praise like never before, and you will receive more freedom, more miracles, and more authority. Look to Me, and I will show you My Glory, saith the Lord your Redeemer.” (www.jgminternational.org )

Healing Prayer
Father God, we come to you because the people of this nation and everything in it belong to you. We are not here by accident. You are the one who set us in this nation at this particular time for the glory of your name. But Father, people in this country are turning against each other. We no longer live like brothers and sisters. Brother has turned against brother and child against parent. But your word says that if we humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways you will heal our land. Lord, heal our hearts, heal our land. Remove bitterness and resentment from our hearts and help us to live as brothers and sisters. In Jesus’ name, Amen.  (Connect Us)
