Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. As I was praying this week over what we should target in prayer, the Holy Spirit brought the classic nursery rhyme to mind.
All the kings horses and all the kings men, couldn’t put Humpty together again.
What caused Humpty Dumpty to fall? What I saw in my spirit was an image often associated with the rhyme—the “egg head” man. Humpty’s fall was ultimately because of pride.
As I continued to pray, pictures of schools, government buildings and churches scrolled by with the pride flag flying. Pride. These organizations who have made their declaration not only for homosexuality, but to display their pride in pride, have openly set themselves against God.
They will be removed—and it has begun.
On Tuesday, Edward Durr, a New Jersey truck driver unseated long-time Democrat State Senate President, Steve Sweeney. A Republican, Durr was fed up with the Democrat shenanigans and decided to run for office with no previous political experience and almost no budget—and he won!
Senate Majority Leader, Loretta Weinberg said in an interview, “It is stunning and shocking and I cannot figure it out,” Why didn’t they see it coming? Because pride deceives.
God hates pride. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
What the Lord showed me speaks of what is happening now and a prophetic word of the current administration. Try as they might, they will not be able to piece things back together as they continue to fall apart. The elections this past week are simply one more indication of a world slipping out of their control.
Father, we thank you for this past week’s victories especially in Virginia for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general! We pray for this new leadership in Virginia and across our nation as incumbents were unseated by voters frustrated with corruption and actions that go against our Constitution and against godliness. We pray for those voted in, that they would remain free from the political spirit and do their jobs with integrity, honesty and biblical morality.
Lord we know that this nation is broken and that Humpty Dumpty is falling. We continue to cry out to you to forgive us, heal our land and bring revival fire to purify our hearts and purify our nation.
You said that You lead the humble in justice and teach the humble Your way. By that verse, it appears that without humility we cannot achieve justice or understand our way. So Lord we humble ourselves before You and we ask that our leaders, judges, pastors, teachers, law enforcement, etc. would humble themselves before You as well, so that we can see truth and that justice will be restored.
May injustice no longer rule our land and may corruption bow its knee.
Hear our prayer, O Lord, as we lift our hands toward heaven. Do not drag us away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors, but harbor malice in their hearts. Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
Because they have no regard for Your deeds or what Your hands have done, You said You will tear them down (sounds like Humpty Dumpty) and never build them up again.
We praise You Lord, for You have heard our cry for mercy. You are our strength and our shield; our hearts trust in You, and You will help us.
