Finitely Flesh Out~Infinitely Truth In

Here I am Lord, Your humble intercessor. I am answering Your call for a week of prayer for our nation. It begins with me fleshing out and fully surrendering my heart, will, mind, soul and spirit to You. Praying fearlessly, without doubt, worryless, and secure in You. I am obedient and hope filled with confidence You will hear my prayers this week and You will change up my nation from person to person. Us, without You, is not such a pretty outcome. I humbly come before You, I acknowledge that “we the people” are broken from the top of our government, across this land and all the way down to every citizen, every person here in this nation. Forgive us Lord Jesus, we have gone our own way. We all have sinned and fallen short of Your glory.  Without You leading us, our fleshly trying is exhausted and incredibly influenced by evil that is lawlessly and irresponsibly, changing things in ways we could never have begun to imagine in our life time. All those with the highest voices of authority are “fleshing out” in unimaginable ways, devaluing others untruthfully, without any compassion or responsibility to the office they hold. It is humiliating and sad to see our strong government, so broken. Every day I wonder if our nation could get any worse, and every day it does. Could the news media get any more corrupted by speculation, assumption, false narrative and flat out lies? Could the senate get any more divided, any more selfishly thinking of politics only as they bow to their political idols? Could the administration get any more chaotic? Could we the people get any more rebellious and violently resistant? Yes. Our nation continues on a downward spiral of fleshed out human condition. Could our national leadership step out of their bounds of service with any more lack of responsibility and accountably to the oath they have taken? Yes they can and they will. As long as we continue on this life path without You, Jesus, the corruption gets bigger and worse. Yes it has gotten as bad as I have ever seen or could have ever imagined in our country. It feels like hopelessness. We are so close to losing our freedom and we have no idea how far we have fallen. We are so focused on our idols of self, politics and pleasure we can’t see straight.  Help us Jesus. Change it up in our nation, in our today. I pray You, Way-Maker God would make the crooked places straight. Forgive us Lord God. Divinely interrupt our finite rebellion with Your Infinite power. Disrupt all of our human plans, our finite knowledge and our human doings by the power of Your Authority, that every other authority pales under. Jesus, let it be so. Even Now, This God, This Amazing, Almighty God Is With Us. We pray to know You, personally. We pray to be wholly-holy Yours.

Isaiah 40:10-31 Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him. 11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young. 12  Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? 13 Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord or as His counselor has taught Him? 14 With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of justice? Who taught Him knowledge, and showed Him the way of understanding? 15 Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust on the scales; look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing. 16 and Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering. 17 All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless. 18 To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him? 19 The workman molds an image, the goldsmith overspreads it with gold, and the silversmith casts silver chains. 20 Whoever is too impoverished for such a contribution chooses a tree that will not rot; He seeks for himself a skillful workman to prepare a carved image that will not totter. 21  Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22  It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. 23 He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless. 24  Scarcely shall they be planted, scarcely shall they be sown, scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth, when He will also blow on them, and they will wither, and the whirlwind will take them away like stubble. 25 “To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; Not one is missing. 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my just claim is passed over by my God”? 28  Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Finitely Flesh Out~Infinitely Truth In

What is the human will powered with? We push, push and push and then we exhaust ourselves and this is when the power of God,  or the influence of evil steps into play by our choice, our free will.  We either turn to God and His ways or we turn away. God is with us always and so is the influence of evil. Our will bucks against evil ways, but when we are will powered by just us, we usually succumb to evil’s schemes for us. Today, the enemy of our soul is mastering evil by grouping up human beings lost in themselves and entitling them with an evil cause. The titles don’t matter as much as the commonality of lawlessness, rebellion and resistance to authority that is based on nothing factual, but all things human condition and fake realities founded upon false narrative. In our nations in times such as these we are being influenced by evil principalities and powers. In our nation today, people are not recognizing that the fight is not ours, it is not people to people. This battle going on, it is God’s and the fight is not with human beings, but evil principalities and powers that want to take down our country. Yet, they have an even higher cause, one we can’t see, one we are blinded from. This battle is for our souls. We are losing. We thought we could “do” goodness, we thought we “knew it all” and we thought we could battle evil on our own. We found out, we can’t. A void of God in our nations has created an incredible increase in lawlessness and human suffering. We need God.

Matthew 26: Peter: 33 Lord, maybe everyone else will trip and fall tonight, but I will not. I’ll be beside You. I won’t falter. Jesus: 34 If only that were true. In fact, this very night, before the cock crows in the morning, you will deny Me three times. Peter: 35 No! I won’t deny You. Even if that means I have to die with You!

A Meal To Feed Your Soul

Matthew 26

Jesus: I am going over there to pray. You sit here while I’m at prayer.

37 Then He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and He grew sorrowful and deeply distressed.

Jesus: 38 My soul is overwhelmed with grief, to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.

39 He walked a little farther and finally fell prostrate and prayed.

Jesus: Father, this is the last thing I want. If there is any way, please take this bitter cup from Me. Not My will, but Yours be done.

40 When He came back to the disciples, He saw that they were asleep. Peter awoke a little less confident and slightly chagrined.

Jesus (to Peter): So you couldn’t keep watch with Me for just one short hour? 41 Now maybe you’re learning: the spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Watch and pray and take care that you are not pulled down during a time of testing.

42 With that, Jesus returned to His secluded spot to pray again.

Jesus: Father, if there is no other way for this cup to pass without My drinking it—then not My will, but Yours be done. The Voice

Matthew 26

Servant Girl: You were with Jesus the Galilean, weren’t you?

70 And just as Jesus had predicted, Peter denied it before everyone.

Peter: Not me! I don’t know what you’re talking about.

71 He went out to stand by the gate. And as he walked past, another servant girl recognized him.

Another Servant Girl (speaking to those standing around): That man over there—he was here with Jesus the Nazarene!

72 Again, just as Jesus had predicted, Peter denied it, swearing an oath.

Peter: I don’t know Him!

73 Peter then went to chat with a few of the servants. A little while later, some other servants approached him:

Other Servants: Look, we know that you must be one of Jesus’ followers. You speak like you are from the same area as His followers. You’ve got that tell-tale Galilean accent. 74 Cursing and swearing, Peter denied Him again.

Peter: I do not know Him!

As the exclamation left his mouth, a cock crowed. 75 And Peter remembered. He remembered that Jesus had looked at him with something like pity and said, “This very night, before the cock crows in the morning, you will deny Me three times.” And Peter went outside, sat down on the ground, and wept.

I am a battle weary warrior. I have tried so hard to align myself to what I think is truth, yet my viewpoint is still worldly. I do not see all there is too see. I only see in part. I only know in part. Therefore, I am flawed in my thinking. I pray for the mind of Christ to influence my prayers in every way. I look to Jesus Christ, the sinless One. He came to us. He knows us inside and out and came to us to save us from our humanity and give us a future and a hope. It is in Him I hope for all of humanity to stand. He paid the price of our redemption, a plan that unfolded by the mercy of our Father God. A messy mercy, that ended in the greatest message mankind would ever be told. Jesus Christ, the Son of God came to us, died our death, so we could live His life here, there and unto forever. Jesus’ resurrection power changed everything, with the greatest transformation known to mankind. The heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ is change. I call out in prayer to this country and to every nation, come behold the Mystery of our God, be transformed forever from the inside to the outside by Jesus. Let go and let God’s resurrection power, empower your life in the all of your everything. Be so.

Colossians 2:6-8 Paul calls the believers in Colossae to remain steadfast in their faith.

6 Now that you have welcomed the Anointed One, Jesus the Lord, into your lives, continue to journey with Him and allow Him to shape your lives. 7 Let your roots grow down deeply in Him, and let Him build you up on a firm foundation. Be strong in the faith, just as you were taught, and always spill over with thankfulness. 8 Make sure no predator makes you his prey through some misleading philosophy and empty deception based on traditions fabricated by mere mortals. These are sourced in the elementary principles originating in this world and not in the Anointed One (so don’t let their talks capture you). The Voice

Finitely Flesh Out~Infinitely Truth In

It is a lie from the pit of hell that Jesus does not care, that He is unaware and not involved in the all of our everything. He is orchestrating it all, every moment is under His command. How can this be? It is such a messy, miserable world from our viewpoint. That is the whole point that Jesus wanted to make to me in this first day of prayer and fasting. Lay down my worldly viewpoint, because nothing that is going to transpire will make sense to my understanding. How do I do this? Jesus prayed it, it will be so. We have to follow the path of this prayer, shaking off the doubt of His love for us, shaking off the despair, and become willness to the outcome our worldly viewpoint wants. A deeply surrendered heart, is a willess heart. What we want to see come about, is not God’s way. God’s ways are higher than our ways. God is in control. We, will-exhausted, compassionate fatigued, soul wounded warriors come to You, we lay at the foot of Your Cross, Jesus. We recognize that You, Jesus are the Supreme Authority, there is no man higher in authority than You. You are in control. You are working Your purposes out in this world and we are at the mercy of Your purposes which are in play in this generation, in this time of lawlessness. You, Jesus are in the storm, You are on the move for Your Kingdom sake. You are disrupting everything that is lifted higher than Your. You are stripping the pride of man’s authority. Your Favor is being withheld from those who are irresponsibly using the God given authority granted to them. You are intervening in the lives of people in a divine appointment, likened to Saul being transformed to Paul. You are smashing the idols of politics, pleasure, media, tradition and pride by the Power of Your Holy Spirit. Our country is not in our hands, our nation is in Your Hands. Every knee will bow to You, Jesus and every tongue will confess You are Lord.

Invitation to the Lord’s Salvation: Isaiah 55 Come and drink—  even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk—  it’s all free! Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength?  Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good.  You will enjoy the finest food. “Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David. 4  See how I used him to display my power among the peoples.  I made him a leader among the nations. 5  You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God,  the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”6 Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. 7 Let the wicked change their ways  and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.  Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously. 8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. 9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,  so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. 10  “The rain and snow come down from the heavens  and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow,  producing seed for the farmer  and bread for the hungry. 11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to,  and it will prosper everywhere I send it. 12 You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands! 13  Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.  Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name;  they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.” New Living Translation https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+55&version=VOICE

Lord Jesus, Why do we live like we are in chains, in bondage to our culture? Please help us, guide us Holy Spirit to love God better than this. I pray we will turn from our worldly viewpoints and begin seeking God with all of our hearts. Jesus we are so deceived by our enemy and false narratives are flying out of every news media, every single day.  Holy Spirit thwart this. We call upon Your warring angels to fight the fight in the heavenlies for us and to stomp out the power of deception, by the power of Your Truth breaking through. Truth and Light, come into our nations. Jesus let Your way, which is higher than all of our ways, better in knowledge, greater in wisdom, have it’s way in our humanity. Speak what is true Father God, speak to Your Creation. I pray we smash our political idols because of Your Voice of truth interrupting the flow of false narrative, which have been created out of fake realities. Jesus let it be so, speak what is true to us, let the Mystery of Your Truth engage our hearts in ways we could not even begin to hope for or imagine. Help us to turn around our nations from this self-centered destruction to putting Your way, truth and life first. Divinely interrupt our governments by Your Power, Jesus. Disrupt the authority of nations by Your Great Authority.  Bring all that is secreted to the Light of Your truth. Change us like You did with the interruption of Saul to Paul. Do it again. Change those in government leadership from the top to the bottom of the very last citizen of our nations. Transform us to Your nature that we can live for You in joy, putting You first, others second and ourselves third. We pray for miracles of hearts to take place all over our nations, divinely intervene Lord Jesus with Your resurrection power. Change up people’s destiny, draw them to Your Spirit of Truth. Let it be so. Amen.

God’s Sovereignty is the greatest force humanity will ever know or experience. The dominion of our enemy is temporary and limited. God’s Sovereign will is eternally unshakeable or unchangeable. Don’t fear the Sovereign Will of God, no matter what it “feels” like, instead, embrace it. Why? God’s Infinite Love and His Sovereign Will go hand in hand, they are never separated. You pray for mercy and when mercy comes, it did not come in the way you expected, because mercy can be messy at first. Look at the cross. It was messy before it was miraculous. This is the Kingdom perspective. Things don’t always work out the way You think they should. We must give up our worldly viewpoint of what we think answered prayer looks like. Ask God to reveal to you the Mind of Christ today. Hear God’s heart and pray out of this passion.

Pray It Up…

Jesus, give us spiritual eyes to see through a Kingdom Perspective, to know our Father God is totally able to work out His perfect purposes in what we see now. Holy Spirit, we pray for courage beyond our humanity, that surpasses our ability to will it. Help us Father God to face the storms ahead for our world, positioned on a platform of Your truth. Help us to choose to believe with unshakeable faith that our Awe-GOD is in control. Increase our faith. Shatter our worldly viewpoints that diminish, dim and dumb down our God. Jesus let it be so. I believe in You, Jesus, in Your Miraculous way, I lay down my will that keeps my focus bent on a worldly viewpoint and I pick up Your way, truth and life, a powerful Kingdom Perspective. Jesus, I so desire this.

John 6:27-40 Don’t spend your life chasing food that spoils and rots. Instead, seek the food that lasts into all the ages and comes from the Son of Man, the One on whom God the Father has placed His seal.

Crowd: 28 What do we have to do to accomplish the Father’s works?

Jesus: 29 If you want to do God’s work, then believe in the One He sent.

Crowd: 30 Can You show us a miraculous sign? Something spectacular? If we see something like that, it will help us to believe. 31 Our fathers ate manna when they wandered in the desert. The Hebrew Scriptures say, “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”[a]

Jesus: 32 I tell you the truth: Moses did not give you bread from heaven; it is My Father who offers you true bread from heaven. 33 The bread of God comes down out of heaven and breathes life into the cosmos.

Crowd: 34 Master, we want a boundless supply of this bread.

Jesus: 35 I am the bread that gives life. If you come to My table and eat, you will never go hungry. Believe in Me, and you will never go thirsty. 36 Here I am standing in front of you, and still you don’t believe. 37 All that My Father gives to Me comes to Me. I will receive everyone; I will not send away anyone who comes to Me. 38 And here’s the reason: I have come down from heaven not to pursue My own agenda but to do what He desires. I am here on behalf of the Father who sent Me. 39 He sent Me to care for all He has given Me so that nothing and no one will perish. In the end, on the last day, He wants everything to be resurrected into new life. 40 So if you want to know the will of the Father, know this: everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will live eternally; and on the last day, I am the One who will resurrect him.

Willessness is my way to courage, combined with the belief You are in control and advocating our all, our everything. You, Jesus are our strength and refuge, our very present help in trouble. I courageously, without a doubt, hope in You and I pray for our nation,  and our world. Jesus bring Your creation the way of surrender, willessness, belief, faith, courage, hope and peace. The greatest power this world will ever know, our Awe-GOD is in control and with great Sovereignty exercising His Will. Jesus is the only able authority, in times such as these,  that is unstoppable. We can hope huge in God’s possibility, yet we must also be yielded to His plan and Kingdom purpose that will be the FINAL SAY of God. We must know His Sovereign Will is more important to the Kingdom than our wants, because He sees and knows the whole picture! We are limited, we only see in part and for the part we don’t see, we must be determined to fight our will until we have completely yielded our will and trust Him wholly. I Am Willess Until God Has The Final Say! I will patiently endure and wait on my God.

John 10:10 The thief approaches with malicious intent, looking to steal, slaughter, and destroy; I came to give life with joy and abundance. The Voice (VOICE)

John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. New Living Translation

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. New King James Version

Finitely Flesh Out~Infinitely Truth In

Our worldly viewpoint is tainted by our enemy, whose only motive is to steal our peace, kill our faith and destroy our love for God. The Kingdom perspective that is so lost in this truth is that we don’t extend the view of it past this earth, to our real life, our Kingdom life. This is the extension of our faith that our enemy wants to cut off. It is the plan of our enemy to keep us lost in the temporary, his dominion, that has the least of the permanence granted. The approach of our enemy and our God differs in motive. One hopes for our best, and purposefully is working towards our lives being filled with an abundant, eternal goodness and a desire to give life. The other approaches with death in his heart, desiring for our demise, our separation from God forever, wanting to steal our Jesus inherited way, truth and life. The purposes of God and our enemy could not be further apart, but can be defined simply-significantly as life or death. We will either live for eternal life or we will live for worldly death. These are our nonsense free, stripped of rationalization, choices. It is either death or life.

Deuteronomy 30:16-20 16 For I command you this day to love the Lord your God and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in his ways. If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy. 17 “But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods, 18 then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. 19 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! 20 You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”30:20 Or He.

Hebrews 6:17-20 New Living Translation

17 God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. 18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. 19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. 20 Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.New Living Translation

Hebrews 6:17-20 Amplified Bible

In the same way God, in His desire to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable nature of His purpose, intervened and guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge would have strong encouragement and indwelling strength to hold tightly to the hope set before us. 19 This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells], 20 where Jesus has entered [in advance] as a forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Finitely Flesh Out~Infinitely Truth In

We have been given the choice for eternal, for a forever life with a perspective of God’s Kingdom that reigns in today, tomorrow and forever. We must change it up, our focus, what we see and live out of must be a Kingdom Perspective. This abundant life Jesus speaks of, is a forever life, not just a life for here, we must enlarge the tent pegs of our perspective and live out of a focus that is more than the now, but encompasses our blood bought forever, our passage to eternity, even now. What is the message of our human mess? Does it stretch past the even now of our focus? Does Jesus have a place in our now, He is here with us, right now, He our bridge past our viewpoint to His perspective. Find this position, even now, stand on the bridge that reconciles finite with infinite, stand with Jesus, on the side of His Truth.

Psalm 1:1-6 Two Ways to Live  Happy are those who don’t listen to the wicked,  who don’t go where sinners go,  who don’t do what evil people do. 2 They love the Lord’s teachings, and they think about those teachings day and night. 3 They are strong, like a tree planted by a river.  The tree produces fruit in season, and its leaves don’t die. Everything they do will succeed. 4 But wicked people are not like that. They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.  Sinners will not worship with God’s people. 6 This is because the Lord takes care of his people, but the wicked will be destroyed. New Century Version

 

Pray It Up…

Put our YES on the table of eternity Lord Jesus, I pray. No matter what happens on this earth, it will be as it is in heaven. I pray our Yes to You will be our first desire, motive, thought, will, speech, action and way. Change it up, our all, our everything. I pray we will be Your temple, with a heart throne for You to be seated at the center of our lives. We lay down all things us, we lay down our pride, we desire to be Your Servant Warriors, let it be so. We choose to fix our eyes on what is unchanging and stand upon the truth Your Voice utters. You have spoken, You still speak. I pray our nations will turn away from dependence upon self and wake up to the powerful Awe-GOD Who is with them and for them. Wake up world, wake up and call out to the only God Who moved the mountain of death in the way of our eternal life. Jesus made crooked places straight for us. I pray we choose Him over this world.

John 17 Jesus (lifting His face to the heavens): Father, My time has come. Glorify Your Son, and I will bring You great glory 2-3 because You have given Me total authority over humanity. I have come bearing the plentiful gifts of God; and all who receive Me will experience everlasting life, a new intimate relationship with You (the one True God) and Jesus the Anointed (the One You have sent). 4 I have glorified You on earth and fulfilled the mission You set before Me. 5 In this moment, Father, fuse Our collective glory and bring Us together as We were before creation existed. 6 You have entrusted Me with these men who have come out of this corrupt world order. I have told them about Your nature and declared Your name to them, and they have held on to Your words and understood that these words, 7 like everything else You have given Me, come from You. 8 It is true that these men You gave Me have received the words that come from You and not only understood them but also believed that You sent Me. 9 I am now making an appeal to You on their behalf. This request is not for the entire world; it is for those whom You have given to Me because they are Yours. 10 Yours and Mine, Mine and Yours, for all that are Mine are Yours. Through them I have been glorified. 11 I will no longer be physically present in this world, but they will remain in this world. As I return to be with You, holy Father, remain with them through Your name, the name You have given Me. May they be one even as We are one. 12 While I was physically present with them, I protected them through Your name. I watched over them closely; and only one was lost, the one the Scriptures said was the son of destruction. 13 Now I am returning to You. I am speaking this prayer here in the created cosmos alongside friends and foes so that in hearing it they might be consumed with joy. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has despised them because they are not products of the world, in the same way that I am not a product of the corrupt world order. 15 Do not take them out of this world; protect them from the evil one. 16 Like Me, they are not products of the corrupt world order. 17 Immerse them in the truth, the truth Your voice speaks. 18 In the same way You sent Me into this world, I am sending them. 19 It is entirely for their benefit that I have set Myself apart so that they may be set apart by truth. 20 I am not asking solely for their benefit; this prayer is also for all the believers who will follow them and hear them speak. 21 Father, may they all be one as You are in Me and I am in You; may they be in Us, for by this unity the world will believe that You sent Me. 22 All the glory You have given to Me, I pass on to them. May that glory unify them and make them one as We are one, 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be refined so that all will know that You sent Me, and You love them in the same way You love Me.

Protect us Jesus, from the power of the evil one. We look to You. We have been without You guiding our nations and our freedoms are fading as the consequence of our sin and lawlessness is creating nations where the human condition is corrupting and power at the highest place of authority is sinful. Oh, how we need to return to You, Jesus. We are killing the innocent children, to the elderly,  those in the womb, and those who can no longer fend for themselves. We are destroying the morality of our nations as our pride corrupts our wills and we have become bulls in a china shop, resisting authority and demanding our own way and our national will first above people. Political Idolatry is what we bow to, and therefore human compassion is dead and common sense is not far behind it. We devalue each other daily and as all encouragement and honor dead ends, so does our morality. Our conscious has been dulled by the rebellion of the human spirit in its resistance to authority and it’s continual fleshing out, without truthing in. Our freedom is like a snowball rolling down a fast hill, we are losing it and we have no idea how big the return to bondage will be. We are so close to losing our freedom as a nation and our political idols continue to blind us from this steady decline. Open our eyes to the truth Lord Jesus.

 

Pray It Up…

We ask You, Jesus, from heart to heart, person to person, neighborhood to neighborhood, state to state, and nation to nation that You would divinely interrupt and infinitely intervene in our lives, thwarting lawlessness, disrespect, dishonor, and the devaluing of You, Your Word, Your Kingdom and Your Created Creation.  We ask for You, Father God to disrupt all authority that is evil in nature, disrupt the lives of those carrying out the will of the enemy of our soul. We ask for Your Mercy to once again divinely interrupt the false narrative of our time with Your Light of Truth.  Unearth the hidden, secreted deceptions of people with motives to hurt and destroy all that is good. Jesus let it be so. Let us be impacted by You on earth as it is in heaven, change it up for us human beings and help us not to be found in bondage again to our flesh. Jesus ,change it up in our nations, change our focus from our temporary worldly viewpoint to Your Infinite Kingdom Perspective. Speak what is true to us Holy Spirit and cause us to have ears that can clearly hear and listen up to what our Father God is daily speaking. Help us, Your Church, Your People to hear Our Bridegroom’s Voice, In Jesus Name. Amen

Walk by the Spirit. It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]. Galatians 5:1 Amplified Bible

 

There are many times in an Intercessor’s walk with God that He calls you away from the things you are doing for Him, to a time of prayer. This week, I answered that call. Jesus asked me to pray and listen up for this nation. This meal “National Prayer” on the Prayer Mentor Table of The Bridegroom’s Café is a spiritual nourishment coming straight from God’s Voice. It is His heart of prayer, it is His revelation. I encourage you to join me in praying for our nation. Please pass this prayer on to others through your social medial. Let’s get everyone praying for their nation. It is so important in times such as these to Listen Up to God. I highly suggest you get a copy of my book, “The Bridegroom’s Voice” and take time with God, listen up, journal and hear His Voice speak directly to You in that personal way He loves. Pray It Up. Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you what God is speaking to you to pray for your nation. God bless you Much, KimberlyMac
