FAITH AND FASTING

Greetings, prayer and fasting warriors! We hope your Summer has been safe and blessed. Ours has been very busy, but before this day gets away from us, we want to share our heart and prayers for President Trump and America.

There are still many issues plaguing our nation. In some parts, violence has risen. Hatred is alive and well. Corruption within our agencies continues to fight against change which decreases its power.

These themes, or patterns, in our land are as old as time. Wherever God’s people dwell, He is there with them. However, His enemies are also ever-present stirring up trouble and seeking to establish their kingdoms above His.

When I am struggling to understand an issue, not knowing where to land on the correct side, I try to apply the principles of “what is good” from Philippians:

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8

That is the challenge, isn’t it? Knowing what is TRUE. That takes work and listening to multiple sources of information. The best sources include eyewitnesses, not just journalists or government representatives. Once you have a handle on the truth, ask yourself, is the action being taken within the situation NOBLE? Is it JUST? PURE? And so on… It is amazing how the right thing becomes clear when you apply this simple test straight from the Word of God.

It seems like President Trump and his team are getting hammered on all sides about so many issues: Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Iran, Epstein, and many, many more. Let’s keep lifting them up. The swamp doesn’t want to be un-alived. It is fighting tooth and nail to stay in its long-held, deceptive and destructive power.

Much good has happened, but more is needed. Some of our leaders actions are being questioned, and I don’t blame people for questioning. We all, Trump and team included, need God’s wisdom on every issue. Some situations are so difficult and complicated, it would seem any action causes harm to one group or another. We need the Lord to go before them, guide and protect them.

Without further ado, as they say, let’s get to the prayer needs:

ONGOING PRAYER NEEDS AND UPDATES

— Pray for continued revival to sweep our nation, a pure, Heaven on Earth movement of Truth exploding into the minds and hearts of people, bringing a sweeping revival and return to Christ.

— Pray for the value of life to be implanted in the soul of every leader and citizen, for a true understanding of what that means. No more unnecessary wars, and for abortion to continue to be crushed in our nation, State by State.

— The end of manipulation of America by other nations. We have some praise reports here – tariffs are balancing trade deals with many other nations and returning much needed funds, which we were just giving away, to our homeland. But manipulation can happen in many ways. Pray for wisdom, that we will grow healthier relationships with our world neighbors. That we will not partner with evil and will see clearly, stand against deception and wrong.

— The end of “deep state” bureaucrats who hold too much power in hidden chambers. Those who consider themselves above the law, who make decisions for America without the permission of her people. [We see movement on this! Pray those who have committed heinous crimes against America and Americans will be held to account and not just let off!]

— A deep cleaning of the military, specifically to move out superiors who fail to support all of their people and focus on policies unaligned with God’s values. The American military is God’s body of warriors to protect His/our nation. We need to pray for their purification, defense and protection.

— We need real change in our food and pharmaceutical industries, to bring America back to better health, and to stop abuses and greed that devalues human life for dollars. Pray for RFK, Jr., to have courage and support to make the sweeping changes needed. Pray for him and his team to see the needs, to recognize where the people are being harmed, and to take action to stop it.

— The continued cleanup of all election processes in America that will ensure the true voice of our citizens is heard clearly in every election to come.

— Exposure and removal of the decayed networks of the worst kind of corruption, those involving human trafficking, perversion or abuse of children and others caught in their net. Those networks whose sole aim has been to promote their agendas and will bribe, threaten, hurt or destroy to push their ways upon everyone.

— While fasting and filled with the Spirit, don’t forget to ask the Father to remove every demonic principality ruling big or small kingdoms in America. This cannot be overstated, they are the source of all division and the degrading of our culture and nation.

This is a lot from human eyes, but nothing is too big for the Lord! Nothing is too big for His people when they are willing to fast and pray faithfully for His nation!

We’ll leave you today with a prayer below. Please see the above needs and include them in your prayers, along with all other issues the Lord places upon your hearts. He sees and hears all…

Precious Father in Heaven, we are so grateful to You and adore You. We yield ourselves to Your Spirit now. Forgive us our failures. Fill us, Holy Spirit. Give us Your wisdom, lead the way, and use us to move Heaven and earth for Your glory and purpose.

Lord, please protect our fasting and praying friends and loved ones. Loose Your heavenly angels to stand strong and defend us. Cover and us from all attacks seen and unseen. Deliver us from evil ones. Grow like-minded people who will stand strong together in prayer and fasting for decades to come.

Lord, you know the needs of this nation. Many are listed above, and we know You see and hear. Please move our nation forward to real revival, a return to purity and true goodness, defeating along the way the forces of evil that desire our destruction.

In the precious and holy name of Jesus, our Redeemer, Messiah and Lord. In His name, we ask and commend all these things into Your Almighty hands. Amen.
