Praying for the United States Secret Service
[Editor's note: as we lay siege to the enemy that wants to bring chaos into our city, we continue to lift up all "those in authority," that they might be strengthened in this time.]
A Scripture to Decree
"Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?" (Isaiah 21:1)
Our Prayer Focus: Entering In
Preparing our Hearts to Enter In and to Pray for the Agents of the United States Secret Service
Those who serve in the U.S. Secret Service are truly among the "unsung heroes" of our time. Standing watch day and night at the White House, or traveling across the nation with our President, these agents sacrifice hours to be at home with their loved ones in order to protect the President of the United States and the First Family.
They fulfill many other missions, too, including:
- Protecting top-level government officials in the Executive Branch, proving 24-hour security for each one
- Providing 24-hour protection for all of our ambassadors overseas
- Working to investigate counterfeit currency
- Working to stop credit card fraud
(From Wikipedia)
The United States Secret Service is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security charged with conducting criminal investigations and protecting the nation's leaders and their families.
Until 2003, the Secret Service was part of the Department of the Treasury, as the agency was founded in 1865 to combat the then-widespread counterfeiting of U.S. currency.
The agency employs approximately 3,200 agents, whose jobs are divided into three categories:
- Special Agent - Uniformed Division Officers - Administrative, Protective and Technical Division
Tasked with these huge responsibilities and now facing a possible horde of anarchists who are planning on descending upon our city next month, let's lift up the Secret Service in prayer.
Today's Prayer
Father God, we do thank You for the faithful men and women who quietly serve in the Secret Service, day and night, to protect our nation. We know, too, that there are many other law enforcement offices located in Washington, D.C. and today we honor them, too.
Father God, over time, whoever occupies the Oval Office has been receiving a significant level of threats to their very lives. We praise You, Father God, that these agents have been totally successful in identifying and stopping those who are making these threats. We ask that all assasination attempts be thwarted, by the skill of these agents and by the Blood of the Lamb.
We pray, too, for the families of these agents, who must stay quietly behind, "manning the home front," while their loved ones are on duty. May these families come to know how deeply we, as Americans, honor their service, too.
We claim all of Psalm 91 over our President as well as Isaiah 54:17. It is written:
"No weapon that is formed against you will prosper . . ."
AMEN!

NEWS ALERT
'It was horrific': Sen. Rand Paul threatened by protesters after the RNC
An angry mob attacked Sen. Rand Paul and his wife as they were leaving the White House following the end of the Republican National Convention early Friday, and demonstrators harassed and threatened other supporters of President Trump as they left the event.
Video shows Mr. Paul, Kentucky Republican, and his wife Kelley being confronted by a mob of Black Lives Matter activists who shoved police escorting them out of the RNC conference. Protesters knocked one of the officers, who had a bicycle, into Mr. Paul.
"It was horrific," Mr. Paul said on "Fox & Friends. "These people were unhinged. I whispered to the policeman, 'They know who I am. You have to get reinforcements. It's going to get worse.' "
The lawmaker thanked District of Columbia police on Twitter "for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob."
Mr. Paul said Secret Service eventually sent them in a car to the Trump International Hotel, where they planned to take another car back to their original hotel.
"As we got close to [the hotel] nobody would let us through," he said.
Protesters were chanting at Mr. Paul, "Say her name," a reference to Breonna Taylor, who was shot and killed by police in Kentucky during a no-knock raid at her home earlier this year. Mr. Paul has sponsored legislation, named for the victim, that would ban the use of no-knock warrants.
"They were also shouting 'Say her name' - Breonna Taylor," he said. "You couldn't reason with this mob, but I'm actually the author of the Breonna Taylor law to end 'no-knock' raids. The irony is lost on these idiots."

Note: other legislators were also attacked by that mob last night. Please go here to read more.
A Special Announcement:
To all of our readers
[Please note: I am going to use a "period" in between the following letters, on purpose.]
It has come to our attention that, even though we are sending these alerts out, using the spelling of "s.i.e.g.e", some of you are reading these as "s.e.i.g.e.!"
All spelling is correct on our end, both sending out and receiving our Prayer S.i.e.g.e alerts.
If you are one who is receiving this with an incorrect spelling, please ignore the same and "carry on" to the prayers for the day. We will continue to send out this message for the remaining days of our s.i.e.g.e.
It is a mystery to us why this is happening, but we thank our God that He IS in control, and that thousands of you are now joining us in this 40-day s.i.e.g.e.
Thank you!
What is "The Siege?"
Radical activist group plans to "lay siege to" and "occupy" White House in September
The radical activist group that takes credit for the #OccupyWallStreet movement in 2011 has announced plans to occupy the White House next month. Adbusters, a digital publication that describes itself as "a global network" determined to "advance the new social activist movement of the information age," issued a post dubbed "#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #1."
"It's been nine years since we set off the political earthquake of #OccupyWallStreet, laying siege to NYC's Zuccotti Park and inspiring thousands of similar protests around the world," the post reads. "The Occupy anniversary arrives September 17th, 2020. And it may be the perfect day to trigger another global big-bang moment - a massive collective action of the sweetest kind of disobedience."
"It's time again for dramatic, decisive action. Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C," the post continued. "We will lay siege to the White House. And we will sustain it for exactly 50 days. This is the #WhiteHouseSiege."
Our Response:
Our strategy
In confronting this enemy, we will follow Christ's example. Accordingly, every day for the next 40 days, we will join forces with prayer points, Scriptures, and worship to confront the enemy at the gates and to render him null and void.
We will begin now, and end on Sunday, September 20, just after the siege of the enemy has begun. BUT. by the grace of GOD, the enemy will instead find a big surprise at that gate: the LOVE OF JESUS, with His Hands extended towards each one, waiting to welcome them home.
By marshallng our forces in advance, just as was done this month in Austin, Texas, the plans of the enemy will be routed and OUR GOD WILL REIGN on the streets of Washington, D.C.!
Please note . . .
When lifting up prayer about these "enemy troops," our intercession is in fact aimed towards the forces in the heavenlies that are holding them captive!
It is written:
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12)
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." (Ephesians 6:13)
Let us now stand together, dressed in the full armor of God in this evil day, at the gate of the highest authority in this land, praying for our nation, our President, and our upcoming elections.
In His Amazing Grace, we invite all of you to join us as we LAY SIEGE TO THE SIEGE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
