Lets be praying for our cities and for Israel.

We're on Pike St at 6th and we've seen several "No Kings flyers posted at the Fish Market recruiting "brave souls" that want to earn at least $500 a day while protesting extra aggressively" (Meeting times and details included. It's flag day, it's the Army's & 47's Birthday!)

I just asked Liney what time all that weird lib rioting will start on this street a few blocks to the east of us, and she responded: "at 12:00 noon" (so I think we'll c/o and split cuz we're not here for such). The clean-clothed security at the lobby door was telling me A minute ago they're taking it all very seriously.

Let's continue to pray for those in our big cities and for Israel as they've also been under attack once again. 

Their repeated unprovoked attacks have happened again and again throughout history but we want Israel protected. 

The regime in Iran has long been working on their nuclear program. They've supported terrorism around the world—especially against Israel. Israel is smart to not allow them to continue developing nuclear weapons for. Leaders have repeatedly threatened to use it all to “wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.” When people keep saying they want to annihilate, you wiping you into the sea.. you need to take heed to that and vigilantly protect the innocent. If there wasn't war in people's hearts, there wouldn't be any wars going on here.

BIBLE PROPHECY REALLY AIN'T THERE TO SCARE, IT'S THERE TO PREPARE.

But having the holy fear/ respect / awe of God is positive. The Bible teaches that in the last days, a great coalition of people from the north—including Persia (which is modern-day Iran)—will rise up against Israel (see Ezekiel 38–39 and the context). While what we are seeing today is not the full fulfillment of that prophecy, it is certainly a foreshadowing of that vary prophecy. 

What would you do differently, what would you wisely be setting in order if you knew we were in the last hours and moments of the last days? It's a good time to be doing the good you know you ought to be doing.

Let's be in prayer without ceasing -- let's walk closely with the Lord, believers, and not get distracted drifting away. These are indeed perilous times, and we all need spiritual discernment, courage, and faith more than ever. Everyone needs Christ living and directing on the indide.

Do I Always, In Every Situation Avoid Political Issues And Politics? Nope.

When the lies of this world abound as they have more and more, it's been interesting to watch the blitzkrieg (lightning war like)-swarm-effect from Christians and Conservatives go into action. I too like to quickly post what's so just to combat what's false. Yes, to get the truth out there so people won't become confused by the media and social media fools.

There’s been an over-swamping of society with fake news and censorship of truth, so it’s been interesting to see Christians and Conservatives become very involved in getting the real news out to inform the masses on what is going on and how to vote. Even on watching closely to stop all the cheating at the voting booths.

Remember when that conservative song came out about the migrants from Haiti’s deeds here - “they’re eating the dogs, their eating the cats in Springfield Ohio"?

The liberals said that's crazy, but we saw it happening. The Legacy Media a.k.a. mainstream media, quickly lied and lied about it because that's long been part of their Leftist agenda. Yes, over and over they lied, saying it wasn’t happening when it was. Things have really gotten way out of hand, so radically crazy here.

That song and the funny conservative memes really worked in the Conservatives' favor. The Left simply don't know how to meme at all. They pay celebrities millions to sing for their lame candidates but none of them can sing smart at all and they certainly don't want you knowing they paid Beyoncé, Oprah and several others.

Liberals have literally stolen and wasted trillions of our tax and Social Security dollars over to foreign Lands, and they got caught human trafficking and money laundering. Now many confused Americans have gotten all mad at those who exposed the huge crimes that Liberals and Globalists have been doing for years!

Conservatives, even humorously with memes, have called out the evil people for their repeated false statements and their evil deeds (even trolling em). They've quickly and effectively continued to oppose their evil deeds as they are exposed. Conservatives quickly swarm online via Social Media when (blatant lies) “fake news” intentionally breaks, when horrible policies and false doctrines are propogated and go public via the mainstream media.

Admit it, there’s been some powerful influence with all the Conservative memes, with some of the smart trolling, with this type of Conservative swarming through Social Media against the lies. We've all seen it happen. Seems like the everyday citizens have basically become the News Journalists in the USA here, and the Main News Platforms even ones like Fox (Faux) News are far more distrusted by the masses of American people. We just don't trust them with their constant lies, and twisting -- rightly so. They and all of our politicians need to start wearing advertisement stickers.. like NASCAR have on them.. of who is paying each of them to say and do what they do.

We spiritually reborn Christians do not avoid the political issues of our day because we are not fearful cowards. We care about good policies and leaders because we care about people. Policies will be set by someone if we are not involved and they all affect some people, so we do care.

We do get involved in people's lives -- even speak out with biblical truth both in season and out. We do this as clearly as possible to explain what the Bible says about some of the most politically charged hot-button issues of the day — abortion, war, government, homosexuality, tranny teaching hours in our schools before children, women's roles, etc. 

I never avoid so-called politically incorrect subjects; I prefer to speak out clearly about biblical truth, whether it's popular or not. Jesus did that, whether the setting is so-called "appropriate" or not, in season and out of season with grace, boldness and truth.

In any teaching or ministry session that God affords me, I wisely opt NOT to involve myself in politics there because I want to win Rinos, Liberals and others who will listen.. at least not compared to some contemporary Evangelicals I've known. I think my pastor Jack Graham in Plano strikes a good balance here. When it's time to minister in church, He ministers the word for decisions and God saves people.

I am called to be a worshiper, worshipping acceptably. I am called to witness and win souls, and I am called to disciple people starting at home. Currently, I am not paid by any local church to pastor full-time, but I do teach and preach every chance I get to glorify the Lord. I want to please my Lord.

I want to remain committed to two things in tent-maker ministry or in any ministry time: 1) the church's Great Commission mandate from Christ (Matt. 28:18-20) and 2) my God-given priority as a teacher to simply feed the flock simply, (never manipulating or fleecing the flock as some like to do Eph. 4:11-16). The Bible says...

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen." Matt. 28:18-20

"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." Eph. 4:11-16

Since God left the church here on earth to make disciples (not to make Democrats or Republicans), I believe the best way a minister or teacher can spend his time, energy, and influence is by consistently preaching God's Word. I aim to be accurate with the Bible and aim to minister to people not just get them facts. The proclamation of the gospel regarding the bloody cross and empty tomb of Jesus unleashes the power of God to produce the miracle of regeneration. Jesus alone saves, but we are to “Go.. tell”. See Mark 5:19 in the Bible for good example of this.

We Love Jesus Most! 

Therefore, We Put Christ And His Kingdom Over Politics: Sure, A Christian Is Called To Exalt Jesus As Well As To Proclaim Truth In Order To Win Souls, And Do Biblical Discipleship His Way.

We live in a time flooded with deception from many sources. 

Fake news, media manipulation, and censorship keep on cloud reality here for many people, making it difficult for them to discern truth from lies. Many aren't reading their Bibles to know. 

The rapid spread of misinformation has driven many Christians and Conservatives to take up the mantle of truth-telling, using social media and independent journalism to challenge the mainstream false narrative. 

When falsehoods arise—whether about elections, politicians, government policies, or cultural issues—believers step right in, exposing the lies, the corruption and holding the powerful elites accountable. This bold engagement in the public square is both necessary and commendable today.

However, as followers of Christ, we must remember our ultimate allegiance is to the Living Word (Jesus) and to His eternal Kingdom -- not to this world. 

Biblical worship of God daily and the Great Commission daily (Matt. 28:18-20) are our highest calling. 

While we should stand up for the truth and tactfully engage with society’s issues, we must not lose sight of our primary mission: knowing the Lord and making Him known -- following Him closely, making disciples and proclaiming the gospel.

The Right Fight: Prayer And The Gospel Over Politics

The Bible is not silent on political and moral issues. It speaks clearly about life, justice, and righteousness. Christians should boldly declare biblical truth on abortion, sexuality, marriage, and governance. Like Jesus, we must speak in season and out, with grace and boldness (2 Tim. 4:2). Yet, the pulpit is not a political podium at all. The church’s primary role is not to create Republican or Democrat converts but to worship, to win souls, and to make disciples of Christ.

Here are my Five Biblical Truths for Peronally Engaging Politics Wisely

1. The Priority of the Gospel Over Politics – Ministers, whether full-time pastors or lay leaders/teachers, must be wise stewards of their time (See Eph. 5:16). Political activism (even in Social Media), while valuable, can distract us away from the greater work of prayer, Bible study, and tending to or shepherding God’s people. The gospel is not about earthly power shifts but about the eternal regeneration and inner transformation of souls. Political victories are only temporary here; salvation for an individual is eternal.

2. The Danger of Political Alliances – Engaging in politics often requires close alliances with those who may not share our faith at all. While co-belligerency can advance moral causes, it also demands some compromise. I compromise with people I work with sometimes, but I never want spiritual compromise.. especially regarding what the Bible clearly says. A minister of God must remain unwavering in biblical conviction. The Bible says, "He must hold firmly to the trustworthy word of God as it was taught to him, so that he will be able both to give accurate instruction in sound reliable, error-free doctrine and to refute those who contradict it by explaining their error" (Titus 1:9 amp). We believers must not be swept off into pragmatic coalitions that dilute the gospel’s clarity or impact. When disparate groups take a similar position on an issue, like say on the topic of abortion (which we all should hate because it’s murder according to Bible teaching), it's in their political interest to rally together and unite their voices for greater influence and impact. The spirit of co-belligerency is the opposite of what the Bible requires any real minister to be — a man of deep biblical conviction in every situation. Men like that are disruptive to common political causes, especially among those who pervert or are indifferent to the gospel.

3. Politics here is Temporary, but God’s Kingdom is Eternal – Political tides rise and fall in every generation, but God’s Word stands firm through all ages (see Isa. 40:8). If the church obsesses over elections and legislation too much, it will ride the waves of culture instead of anchoring itself in the Living Word of God. The mission of the church is to proclaim Jesus and His finished word, His reconciliation plan with God (2 Cor. 5:20-21), offering hope to a lost world—not to confuse that hope with political reform. I don't waste time trying to reform sinners, I simply want to win them to Jesus. I pray God will use us to evangelize. 

4. Avoiding Division and Alienation – Politics often turns potential converts into adversaries. Why drive people away that we want to win? Jesus called us to love our lost and saved neighbors, not to war against them (Matt. 5:44). When the church becomes entangled in partisan fights, it risks alienating those it is called to reach. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual darkness (Eph. 6:12). Pray, pray, pray and obey the Word. 

5. The Church’s True Mission: Making Disciples – Christians should indeed go vote wisely, should pray fervently, and should speak truth boldly. Some are even called into political careers. But the church itself must not lose sight of its divine mission. We must keep the main things the main things. Whether you are a pastor, a lay minister, or a devoted reborn believer, remember: our greatest impact is not in political victories but in being involved in souls choosing Jesus as Savior and Lord. In regenerated, transformed lives. Let us be known as real Christians in word, attitudes and deed, not primarily known for partisan battles. Are you more known for what you are against than what you are for? Why not more so for what you are for? I am for Jesus and for people growing and succeeding in Christ. I am not anti-any people. I want the best for everyone as I win them to Jesus. Let's be more known for our political stances -- NO! Let's be more known for our personal unwavering commitment to Jesus Christ and the Bible, our love for the lost, and our bold proclamation of the cross at Calvary and the empty tomb.

The people in this world are our mission field—they are not our enemy. God loves you no matter what country or side you have been involved with. He is concerned about you and your future regardless of your past. Jesus catches His fish and then He cleans them. I don't say clean yourself up and then come to the Lord. I say come as you are willing to let Christ change you from the inside out. Democrat, Republican Rino or whoever you are.. You can get right with God and come to Christ right here and now.  

Worship and glorify the Lord with all you are -- with your whole being and future! Get the truth out too. All truth his His truth. Grab your Bible which is true from start to finish. Our primary goal is not to win elections but to please the Lord with every breath. Our main goal every single day is bless the Lord, to honor him in everything we do, and to win souls to Him while we have time to do that. 

I zealously want to inspire and motivate other Christians to do the same -- to worship Jesus with everything they are and have, and to win souls to Jesus as well. 

May we never trade the eternal for the temporary here. Let’s keep our eyes focused on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Heb. 12:2), and run the race set before us with endurance, tact and wisdom.

American Christians are being ARRESTED for holding outdoor church worship services while it's okay for the rioters to keep doin' their thing at other's expense. What do you call that?

"Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.." 2 Timothy 3:12

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." ~Jesus, in John 15:18

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10

"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you." 1 Peter 4:12 (More...)

Christian leaders, Police a.k.a. Cops, other authority figures.. even our president today is being harassed and opposed. Didn't Jesus warn us that it would get like this? Sure. 

It's very costly, but also a good day to get right with God and help others do that. 

Why is it happening? I still learning really, but it's in a sinner's nature to rebel against Authority and flawed people in positions of delegated authority. I used to feel like that -- my old nature still wants to tell me what to do.. that's wrong. 

Rebelling, rioting, finger-pointing, resisting God and delegated authorities is all vogue today. The devil is the accuser of the brethren still. That's why we all need a new spiritual birth and new nature inside. The 60's were pretty wild, but again.. we are living in perilous times. How does God describe it? 

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Timothy 3:1-13

Take your time here, let it sink in -- muse some more on His truth. What the Apostle Paul said on this seems fitting for our times: 

"My persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed." 2 Timothy 3:11-13

Many people have questions on all this chaos and craziness. Perhaps you do too?

1. What does it mean that blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake?

What does it mean that blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake? What is the meaning of Matthew 5:10?

2. If I convert to Christianity, my family will disown me, and I will be persecuted. Should I follow Jesus?

If I convert to Christianity, my family will disown me, and I will be persecuted. Should I follow Jesus? How can I convert if it might cost me my family, my job, or my life?

3. How should a Christian respond to persecution?

How should a Christian respond to persecution? What should believers do when they are persecuted?

4. What does 2 Peter 3:8 mean when it says a thousand years are a day?

What does 2 Peter 3:8 mean when it says a thousand years are a day? How is a thousand years a day and a day a thousand years?

5. Christian martyrdom - what does the Bible say? Should Christians desire to become martyrs?

Christian martyrdom - what does God in the Bible have to say about that? Should Christians desire to become martyrs? Is there any special eternal reward for being a martyr?

6. What does it mean that he who endures to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13)?

What does it mean that he who endures to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13)? If we are saved by faith alone, why do we have to endure to the end.

7. What impact did Marcus Aurelius have on Christian history?

What impact did Marcus Aurelius have on Christian history? Why did Marcus Aurelius order the persecution of Christians?

8. What is totalitarianism and how does that relate to our day? These last days--they are for sure your last days and mine right? Our time here is pretty brief. 

What is totalitarianism? What does the Bible say about totalitarian forms of government?

9. What is Novatianism?

What is Novatianism? What did the Novatianists believe? Was the Novatian strong stance against apostates correct?

10. What was early Christianity with all that opposition and persecution like?

What was early Christianity like? How was early Christianity different from modern Christianity?

The Public Support For ‘Racial Justice Protests’ Is Dropping Significantly.

“For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness,’ and again, ‘The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.’” 1 Corinthians 3:19–20 (Blog) 

Black Lives Matter Rioters in Hollywood Chase Down and Attack Driver… DRIVER DETAINED (VIDEO). 

What you’ve been seeing in the USA is according to the Democrat’s playbook. Yes, it goes with their plan to destroy the country so that CNN, MSNBC and 98% of the New Media Platforms can make you believe that all this unrest is Pres. Trump’s fault.. so that he doesn’t get re-elected on November 3rd (or for weeks after that with all the Liberal’s cheating). Therefore, don’t listen to the pro-abortion Leftists as or their media or their Antifa or Marxist BLM rioters. 

They keep feeding the public gobs of lies. Once again I can’t stress enough that mail in voting is not good as democrats will turn it into voter fraud days after Nov. 3rd.. where they’ll arrange for illegals and dead people to vote. We’re already seeing ballots with Trumps name on them thrown again into rivers, ditches and elsewhere. You and I cannot trust the US Postal Service as their own union endorses corrupt Joe Biden. 

I pray that we will pray in the USA today. Yep, effectively. Today. We want to see the strongholds of evil crumble away, Lord.

Life, liberty, free speech, safety for lost and saved Americans etc. -- man, a whole lot's at stake. Understatement!

"The end of Roe v. Wade?" ~ Senator Tom Cotton

It’s extremely important for us to pray, and that you and I go physically vote in person with a voter ID and proof of US citizenship. That’s normal according to the laws. Also, please make sure that you are a REPUBLICAN REGISTERED VOTER before showing up to vote. Sure the GOP has lame RINOs, but too much is at stake here. Again, Democrats cannot be trusted with mail in voting. They will continue to cheat because they can’t beat Trump in fair manner. Who really wants Joe? Joe voters only do so cuz they hate..hate Trump and law and order. If family members and friends have no transportation please offer to drive them to the voting station. Thank you!

Corrupt Democrats function according to their playbook and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Ask yourself, Do These Rules Seem Timely?

“Never let a crisis go to waste.” The Alinsky, Chomsky Marxist agenda is behind all this nonsense at the DNC.

• RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
• RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
• RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
• RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
• RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
• RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
• RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
• RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
• RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
• RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
• RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
• RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

“..because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” Romans 10:9–10

As attacks from Antifa, from Marxists and from Anarchists continue, as Covid 19 is now spiking in seven states..I'd say it's a good day to earnestly pray. Every day is. Let's talk about prayer, intercession and supplication and better yet..do this. Let's earnestly intercede today.

May our prayers touch God -- I mean touch our heavenly Father's compassionate heart -- and may he use us and use them to impact this nation for His glory. Let's look to him to respond. 

Rain or shine, whether believers feel like it or not.. no matter what the changing circumstances look like.. their / our faith expressed in biblical worship will ignite the prayers and bring results.. ignite our intercession to move the hand of God. He hears you!

Bottomline.. our crocodile tears, the radical news reports, man's great need and emotions won't move the hand of God. Never have. They indeed move his compassionate heart (God deeply feels for us..), but prayerful faith in Jesus is what moves his hand to intervene! Seems like people are scared and more open to the Gospel.   

God, we thank you for caring, help us be a part of the action, wisely involved in what you are doing ..in your will! Thanks for helping sinners like me. Please use us to plant, cultivate, water and reap so to speak. Thank for bringing us this far in Christ, but we want to grow more. We look to you again for our cities, for our president and for our nation! Please give wisdom, discernment and guidance. Yes, we earnestly pray that you will cause the spreading of the Coronavirus globally to stop.. that you will cause the violence in our Land, all the senseless vandalism, the hatred ..yes the racism (and reverse racism) in Americans (and in others here) to cease. God, we pray in these last days that you'll stop George Soros, the lame GOP RINOs, the evil money-hungry Liberal politicians and others.. from funding this violence we see. God, seven states are now reporting the highest Coronavirus hospitalizations since the pandemic began, but you can change this. You can heal and restore people. Have mercy, turn us back to you in America. We thank and trust you!  

“These are definitely not protesters, they are not even rioters! They’re the armed militia of the Democratic party.” ~ Tucker Carlson 

"Minnesota State Rep. Steve Green announced plans to allow ANTIFA and Muslim groups to patrol Minneapolis under what he described as 'Muslim rule'". What is he really saying? Sayin' this: Sharia Law (which is in contradiction to our U.S. Constitution). 

Fact: 900 police officers have been injured or killed since the recent “peaceful protests” started. Of course all black lives matter as do all other lives, but it's the BLM Organization that's Marxist, violent, way off, and hurting the USA. 

I bet.. so to speak.. that many people will sadly be more prejudiced inside (which is totally wrong) after all this rioting (that also is stupid).. than less prejudice inside them. Let’s earnestly pray against this prejudice -- it’s not of God, it's wrong, it's literally of the devil. In Christ, one by one, people can be freed from all that. Anyone can be regenerated, and transformed from the inside out (a.k.a. sanctification).   

All that's been done against the Cops, against innocent business owners, statues, US citizens, the POTUS in DC, and against cities has not lessened the prejudice any of those who have sadly chosen to be racist. 

All the prejudice and reverse-prejudice we've seen (via hateful acts on the streets, or firsthand heard about) or even the unseen too has really just hurt our nation. For way too long! Lord, many are lustful, misinformed, angry, greedy and out looting. Some are attacking our police -- please stop all that here. 

Father God, let Christians and preachers live the life, gain ground, and boldly preach the word, yes like on repentance and biblical faith. 

Let us all brag on Christ -- he is still the Solution and he doesn't change. God, let the pride (hubris, stubborn arrogance), prejudice and blindness cease. Help us watch, pray, obey and live informed. Make us instruments of your peace. 

“We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul..” Hebrews 6:19-20

Father, do help us to hold fast to the hope set before us...

In this time of uncertainty in our lives and our nation, may we Your people be strengthened...

People are scared, unsure of the future, and open to the Gospel like I've not seen before. Grant repentance, revival, and a biblical awakening..again! Pour out your Spirit. Give us extra grace to be and give a clear witness. Where sin abounds, let your grace abound even more. Help us to rejoice, to personally worship, to walk well, and to rest in this certain truth—sure, we have been born again to a living hope because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Our hope is alive, our inheritance is imperishable..it's kept in heaven! Thanks for the Cross. Do comfort and strengthen our hearts in every good work and word, Lord. (See 1 Peter 1:3-4; 2 Thessalonians 2:16). Now continue on with your own personal prayer as the Holy Spirit leads you.. 

So many people in this great nation are far from You. Help them to find their living hope...

In this season of pandemic, national division, and social unrest.. so many people are seeking for viable answers. Help them.. each person.. to hear the Spirit as He comes to convict them of sin and of their need for righteousness. In Your kindness do lead them to repentance. Lead those of your church to repentance too. Do revive and bring spiritual awakening in our Land! I give my heart and life, my all to you, Jesus. (See John 16:7-8; Romans 2:4). Continue with personal prayer...

Guide our leaders at all levels to make right decisions based on wise counsel not emotions...

With lack of guidance, a nation falls.. individuals stumble and fall. It sadly happens. God, help us walk consistently above reproach and blameless. Help us shine.. reflect your light well. Help us be done with lesser non-needed habits. Help our local and national leaders start seeking you..and do your will. Our churches and church leaders also need you more than ever. Help us seize the day for you. Please provide and guide so none of us slide..back. Lead each of us.. also lead the leaders to turn to trust..to repent if needed. Yes, to humble themselves and seek Your help first, for You are still wonderful in counsel and excellent in (godly, not worldly) wisdom. Help us with a sense of urgency.. help them to make wise decisions. Bless and show us / them the good and right thing to do. Lord, you are worthy of praise and we believe in you. We are here for you, come and do what you do, set our hearts (on-fire) towards you. Yes, do wonders anew. We need you to move..need a move of God. We believe, we love, trust, honor and worship you! No spiritual compromise! (See Proverbs 11:14; 2:3, 9-10). Continue with personal prayer...

Comfort the hurting and bring order to our chaos, peace to our hearts...

People are still dying from this strange acting Covid 19 virus (it looks like it was made in a lab), and they're dying from the violence of racial unrest. It breaks your heart! So much pain and loss, so much inner hurt, so much confusion out on our streets.. so much grief, unbelief and hopelessness! Turn us, Lord. Yes, there too much chaos--we want none. So much indecision, fake news and divisiveness here. But sovereign Lord, in Your mercy do bring healing, restoration, peace, order, and a godly calm on our streets. Prince of Peace, let your Kingdom come, let your will be done..to bring peace to wayward hearts. Savior, you can move the mountains, move in us your Church. Be Lord in our homes too. O God, you're still mighty to move and save -- you arose out of that hole in the ground, yes conquered that grave! Shine the light (through us) and let the whole world see, yep, for the glory of you.. our risen King. We pray against Sharia Law that elites allow and Globalists want -- it so contradicts our U.S. Constitution and the Bible. (Psalm 103:3; Psalm 25:6; 2 Thessalonians 3:16). Continue on with your personal prayer...

Provide for those who are losing jobs and businesses...

Have mercy, Lord. We pray for the many who have lost jobs, lost income from investments, and lost businesses. We pray they will know you intimately as their Savior, Helper, Equiper and Provider.. who is always ready to help any of us. May they come to You in faith and ask, for there is no limit to what You can do or provide. Help them to believe and obey. (See Psalm 46:1; 5; Psalm 147:5; Luke 1:37). Continue with your own personal prayer...

Help people to take the continuing threat of the Coronavirus seriously but not freak out due to media lies...

Lord, factually in some parts of our country the infections are rising—in part because many are disregarding biblical and government recommendations and guidelines. But we look to you, Lord. Help them to see that they are putting many people at risk and then lead them..and us to submit to delegated and direct authority. We submit to you. We pray for our flawed human authorities here (we always want to submit short of sinning), because that's totally the right thing to do. (See Romans 13:5). Continue on with earnest, urgent, zealous personal prayer...

For those with mental health issues made worse by the crises that continue...

Help the homeless people and those with homes too.. who are now struggling with mental health issues.. or who are in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse. Many have had treatments and support groups cancelled, but there are some church doors open. Some personally.. via bad or local selfish political choices.. have canceled them. Please draw the lost into your Kingdom and church; may the saved people find shelter beneath Your wings. You can do anything, Jesus. Also please help my two oldest sons (soldiers from Iraq) to get a grip on you and your will. Thanks for your unchanging agape love, Lord (John 6:44; Psalm 61:4). Now continue on with your personal prayer all through the week as the Holy Spirit leads you.. Yes, in Jesus’ name, amen.

“One of the great problems in prayer.. is the problem of varying emotions. If I prayed only when I felt like it, I would pray very little. ..The will is the key! ..With my will I can choose to pray and my will throws God’s will into gear and I pray in his power!” ~ Jack Taylor

The Holy Spirit can daily help us claim Bible promises and unselfishly pray as Jesus would pray. The Bible says, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13

Trust that your prayers will be effectual.. in Christ. Go for it, for Him first. Sure, but if you're not sure if you're born again in Christ, in his will.. then come to him now.. humbly, honestly..or just come back to him now.. and then all your intercession will impact lives for his glory. God delights to use his people.

We live in a sin-cursed imperfect world -- decisions where made. God didn't do that here. We've all made bad choices.
