The question I get most frequently is, “What can we do?”
Other than pray, which we are all doing, it is hard to say. But what I can tell you is that in the last two weeks I have shown up at two meetings.
One, was a city councilor’s meetings to protest their attempt to remask our city. The second, I drove to our capitol city to attend a school board meeting where they were trying to push through Critical Race Theory. What I can tell you is the presence of those of us who showed up was enough to cause them to be unsuccessful in pushing through their agenda. They were very frustrated. And note, the numbers of those of us who showed up were not huge.
Prayer matters and actions matter. We can’t grow weary.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
The Lord reminded me that it only takes one to change the outcome of a situation. ONE!
He took me back the O.T. story of Jonathan when he and his armor bearer took on the Philistine’s alone. They weren’t just defending themselves either. They went and sought out the Philistines ready to take them on! They went looking for the fight! Jonathan saw himself as an entire army ready to take on an entire army. Jonathan’s courage, in turn, gave his armor bearer courage. It was supernatural courage! And with it they not only defeated an entire outpost, but the story spread like wildfire. It then multiplied and produced courage in the Israelites who had been languishing in fear, and then it struck fear into the Philistines who began to scatter.
All because one man rose up in supernatural courage—and it began to spread.
Will you be the one to rise up in supernatural courage this week? Will you allow His Words and confidence in who He is to rise up in you to pour out on others?
PRAYER POINTS:
1. CALIFORNIA—Sept. 14—for a fair election with no voting fraud regarding the recall vote to remove Governor Newsom. The media is already saying it looks like he will remain in position. It smells like voter fraud all over again. Pray for Larry Elder, the top contender, who is a man of God that he will be voted in and evil removed.
2. Afghanistan and the on-going rescue of those trapped behind enemy lines. (See the story at the end how the Taliban has targeted orphans to take them into slavery!)
3. Australia is being taken over by Communism and is even further down that road than America. Pray for God’s intervention.
4. China continues to focus their eyes on taking over Taiwan. It has been their long-term goal and America was all that stood in their way. They greedily eye it now that there is no one to oppose them.
5. Biden’s vaccine mandate is illegal. First because Constitutionally he has no authority to mandate what state must do regarding this area. Surprised by that statement? Then click here to watch my teaching that includes what the Constitution says are the powers granted to the state government and what is granted to the federal government. It’s about halfway through the teaching and I guarantee it will surprise you.
Father God, we come before You in worship and acknowledge that You are the Almighty God, Creator and Master of All. We love You and come before You recognizing that without You we have no hope. But we refuse to give up hope. Like Abraham, we stand fast even when it looks like hope is gone—we bind ourselves to hope. We return to our fortress, as prisoners of hope; putting You in remembrance that You said You will restore twice as much to us as that which has been stolen.
Lord much has been stolen and continues to be stolen. But just as Joshua and Caleb refused to see themselves as grasshoppers. We also refuse to see ourselves as grasshoppers and as helpless. They realized they could take the giants and the Promise Land, so we do as well Lord. We declare, WE ARE WELL ABLE.
And so this week we take courage. We rise up in Your Word and in faith that nothing is too difficult for You. We choose to show up again and again and again. We choose to encourage others who are weary and down trodden. We speak into the atmosphere to the dry bones. GET UP AND LIVE. RISE UP!
Father we thank you that just as Jonathan was filled with supernatural courage, this week, please fill us with that same courage and as we step out into the unknown, that we will see entire outposts and armies defeated by YOUR supernatural power flowing through us.
We pray regarding the governor recall election in California this week. We declare that just as its name says, Governor Newsom WILL BE RECALLED and that a godly governor who reveres Your name will be elected in his place. We pray that any voting machines still in place that they may try to use to steal this election will malfunction and stop working. They may think they have won, but Father YOU are in control and we plead on behalf of California and those within who have been crying out to you. Hear us O Lord and deliver them from evil. We cry out for REVIVAL in California that will light a fire and sweep through our nation.
We continue to pray over the Afghani people, their country, those who faithfully assisted us and were left behind and the Americans left behind. Lord we pray for a miracle for their protection and their release. You see how our own State Department has abandoned them and intentionally refuses to give permission to allow many to fly out safely. Lord expose and remove every single one within our government who are there to subvert justice, truth, our Constitution, and what is right. We pray for the Afghani orphans, who the Taliban has said they will take for child brides, slaves and forced organ harvesting. LORD PROTECT THESE ADULTS AND CHILDREN and get them out.
We pray for Australia and Taiwan! Lord You see how evil is already in control or working to gain control in both countries. We pray for Jonathan’s to rise up, stand up and see the Enemy routed. Lord we can’t do that, but as we take on Your supernatural courage, YOU can do it. We ask for what You have done in the past, that You will do again and deliver.
Lord we pray not only in America but every country in which governments are trying to force this experimental “vaccine” upon the population. Lord, none of it makes sense for a virus in which there is a 99% recovery rate. Please give people courage. Please open eyes to recognize that the forced mandate doesn’t make sense and to look at who is behind these demands. Lord protect us from any harmful substance in the vaccines. I pray for those who have already taken it and now regret it or are in health crisis. Lord bring healing to their bodies and knowledge on how to remove the poison and restore to health.
For those who are now threatened with losing their jobs if they don’t comply, we ask for Your intervention, for wisdom for them, for legal advocates, for righteous judges, that this blatant overreach by these governments would be struck down and the leaders with it.
We thank you that you have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. We refuse to cave to fear. Instead we continue to operate in love and forgiveness. We choose like Jonathan to rise up and see the outpost of evil and say, “The Lord is with us and we can take it.”
Rise up in us O Lord. Rise up.
