Thank you to all who prayed and fasted this past week! I heard from many of you regarding how impacting it was.
City-by-City intercessor, Patty V., received this word from the Lord during the fast, “My Word is the battering ram. Continue speaking My Word and ‘ram against the gates of hell.’ Keep pushing, and they will give way & set captives free!” Another friend had this word several months ago, “The Gates of Hell will not prevail against the sons of God.” The Lord spoke that word to her specifically in reference to Bill Gates. (You can read more about it here.)
Our prayers are indeed a battering ram in the supernatural against evil. Have you ever watched a battering ram against a fortified gate or door? It takes consistent hitting and pressure (our intercession) to weaken and remove the door or wall to gain entrance. We know God hears our prayers immediately. But we also know from Daniel 10:12, that although Daniel’s prayers were heard immediately, the angelic response was delayed in the heavenlies for twenty-one days.
“Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days…”
The good news is when the angelic messengers finally broke through they came, “to give an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days…”
A spiritual war is taking place even as this earthly battle continues. We’ve been praying longer than 21 days, but we cannot give up. We must continue with the battering ram of prayer.
This week we focus our prayers toward our Supreme Court and the ongoing coup attempt against the branch of justice.
As President Trump warned when he was in office, the Democrats are working to stack the Supreme Court by adding four more seats. They have already created a partisan commission working toward this end. The commission is at work right now to will submit their decision and recommendations in October. Obviously without a God intervention we know exactly what they will submit and where this will go.
This action is not new. It is a tactic Communists have used in the past to take over a country. It was done in Argentina and Venezuela. They attempted to do it here in America during the administration of President Roosevelt. The goal is to add extra seats to the Supreme Court to ensure they have an overwhelming majority so that every decision will push ahead their communist takeover agenda so it cannot be reversed.
In Venezuela, where they were successful in stacking the courts, more than 45,000 decisions have since been handed down that have solidified communism’s hold in that country. This rule has destroyed that once prosperous country in record time and left the people starving and destitute—unable to fight back. America is on that same fast track. It is one more tactic to work to ensure the Deep State will not be removed from power.

It is our prayer focus this week.
Lord, You said you are a God of justice and unjust scales are an abomination to You. You see what they are working to do to take over our nation and pack our courts with even more ungodly men and women who seek their own rule. Lord they are building a tower of Babel, believing themselves to be gods in their desire to not only rule America, but the world.
Father we ask that just as you confused the thoughts and communications in days of old as they built the Tower of Babel, so do it again and confuse their language, communication and plan to pack our Courts, so that they can no longer work together to achieve their evil plans. We declare their tower of corrupt communication and actions and takeover will topple.
You see the schemes of the wicked to keep the scales of justice tipped to injustice and wickedness. Lord where can we go for a just verdict? We have repeatedly seen judges across our nation and ultimately in the Supreme Court, bow to the pressure of the Left. They have refused to even look at evidence, much less make a just ruling.
We see where righteous men and women have been thrown in jail and unrighteous and corrupt people continue in leadership with no fear of reprisal. America, as well as many countries, now has a two-tier system to subvert true justice.
But Your Word judges them as rulers that are NOT from you. For Your Word tells us that just, godly rulers, “Are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.” And yet Lord, godly, law-abiding citizens are afraid of the present “authority” who have proven to be a terror to those who do good works. They have shut down our churches and Christian businesses, thrown pastors and Christians in jail along with other law-abiding citizens. They have created laws that violate morality and our Christian beliefs as they promote evil.
We put You in remembrance of Your Word which says, “But if you do evil, be afraid; for he (God-ordained authority) does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil (Romans 13:4). So Lord, as we prayed last week, give us godly leaders and godly justices who will execute wrath on those who practice evil.
We pray over each of the current Supreme Court justices:
¨ Chief Justice John Roberts
¨ Clarence Thomas
¨ Stephen Breyer
¨ Samuel Alito
¨ Sonia Sotomayor
¨ Elena Kagan
¨ Neil Gorsuch
¨ Brett Kavanaugh
¨ Amy Coney Barrett
We pray that they will honor You, honor Truth, and honor the Constitution. For those who have abused their position to rewrite or reinterpret our Constitution and laws or overturn it, we pray they would encounter You. For those who ignore our Constitution and laws, who seek to create new laws, rather than do their job to follow the law, we ask that you would arrest their attention. May they encounter You, the true Judge and return to the fear of the Lord. May their schemes be foiled
We pray your protection for those who walk with integrity and honorably in this position. We pray if any are being bribed or threatened that it will come to light and be stopped and those behind it brought to justice. We pray that there will be no violence against them. No attack. We pray for the committee that is working to push through the additional four justices. We ask for your intervention against this corrupt action that it will not succeed.
Father You do not keep the wicked alive, but give justice to the afflicted. Our nation is afflicted with evil and unjust rule Lord. Corrupt and/or intimidated judges can be found in every city and state and even our federal and Supreme courts. We ask that you would give us justices as in days of old. Restore our leaders as at the beginning when our Founding Fathers revered You, so that once again America will be called a City of Righteousness and a Faithful City. That we can once again trust our judges for a just verdict. May they be like Deborah who was just, courageous, hard-working and discerning. And those who are not exposed and removed from their seats.
