Dear Praying Friends,
This is an appeal to intercessors everywhere to take our place tonight - gathering in groups of two or three – with family or other intercessors with whom we pray regularly, however we can, to stand in the gap for America, for innocent people, cities and towns across America that are in deep trouble tonight. May we exercise our authority in Christ to throw down the principalities and powers that are behind this conflagration that taking place across our land. Lawlessness only begets only more lawlessness and destruction. The police, even the states and national guard are doing what they can under very difficult circumstances. But it is the intercessors across America, alone, who can make a core difference amid this confusion. God is not the author of confusion.
We all know that the murder of George Floyd was a horrific crime and that those who took part in it must be brought to justice. We also believe that in America peaceful protest is a proper and legal way for people to express their outrage.
But violent mob behavior, senseless destruction of property, and the harm of innocent people wholly unrelated to that crime is wrong and extremely serious criminal behavior.
Outside groups, demonically inspired and devoted to the destruction of America have worked for years to bring down our nation and were prepared in advance to take advantage of any outrageous unjust incident like this one to advance their goals. And they are deeply involved.
Scripture declares, “the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God”(James 1:20).
John 10:10 says “The thief [Satan] comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I [Jesus] am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.”
Ephesians 6:10-18 says: Ephesians 6:10-18 says “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints…”
Horrific destruction has already taken place in broad daylight in cities across America. As Sunset arrives here in the east, many are predicting that things will only grow worse as darkness falls across America.
We who pray can make a huge difference if we will cry out to God Almighty tonight and until God has brought peace to this spiritual, legal, moral and physical firestorm that is wreaking mindless destruction across our land.
Thank you & God be with you and our needy nation, and especially the innocent people who are being harmed and pillaged. May this come quickly to an end and May God intervene this very night as we pray!
Pierre Bynum
P.S. Wikipedia has identified some of the hot spots across the nation that can help you focus prayer. Please God’s people, we must weigh in with whatever prayer power we have. And scripture tells us we have a lot!
