Presidential Message on The Return, 2020

Presidential Message on the National Day of Prayer and Return, 2020


On this inaugural National Day of Prayer and Return, the First Lady and I join millions of Christians here in the United States and around the world in prayer, as we turn our hearts to our Lord and Savior.

Our great Nation was founded by men and women of deep and abiding faith-a faith that has stood the test of time. Four hundred years ago, early American settlers trusted their lives to His providence and braved a voyage to a New World. From the pilgrims who sought His protection aboard the Mayflower to the countless believers who today bow their heads to ask for His guidance during these unprecedented times, our country continues to turn to the Lord. Following in our ancestors' footsteps we continue the "firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence" that provides us enduring strength and reassurance in our times of need.

The trials and tribulations the American people have faced over the past several months have been great. Yet, as we have seen time and again, the resolve of our citizenry-fortified by our faith in God-has guided us through these hardships and helped to unite us as one Nation under God. As we continue to combat the challenges ahead of us, we must remember the sage words of President George Washington during his first Presidential Address: "propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained." As a country and a people, let us renew our commitment to these abiding and timeless principles.

Today, I am pleased to join my voice to yours in thanking God for blessing this nation with great power and responsibility. With reverence, humility, and thanksgiving, we beg for His continued guidance and protection. 
- President Donald Trump

A Prophetic Word

THE AWAITED PROPHETIC MOVE HAS BEGUN!! 

FRANK AMEDIA , Saturday, Sept. 20, 2020, 2:00 pm EDT 


It was four years ago that I prophesied the way Trump would win and the emphasis on the Supreme Court. I declared then that the Lord said President Trump would appoint three ( 3) justices, and that it would be within his first term ( in this "season"). I released earlier this year that there would be three major shifts: the first was covid and that the earth was put on pause. The second was the sudden manifestation of lawlessness which is operating in tandem with the spirit of delusion. Recall that I preached on Sunday, May 24 that this chaos was about to come suddenly. The very next day, George Floyd died and the ensuing disorder has been prevalent since.

From February on, I shared that the third shift would begin in September, that it would be so divinely aligned that it would be indisputably God, that it would be a type of firstfruits to the nation and the church as we approach Sukkot. I saw the vision that I shared of DJT sinking up to his chin in quicksand, and attached to him the assignments of God. But then the thumb and finger of God reached down and plucked him from the mire him by his head, throwing him to soar in the clouds. Then after Joe Biden mocked God on August 20 at the Democratic convention, saying there would be no miracle; I shared the word of the Lord that a Hezekiah miracle moment was going to be released in September with a Blast! The word was based upon 2 Kings 18 & 19... AND HEZEKIAH'S desperate intercession to the Lord: " This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke and blasphemy for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth." (2 KINGS 19: 3). THE LORD'S WORD: "BE NOT AFRAID of the words which you have heard . . . from [those who blasphemed me]. BEHOLD I WILL SEND A BLAST UPON HIM!!! From that evening on I declared that the Hezekiah Miracle Blast was about to come upon the earth.

Last night (Friday, Sept. 19) during the POTUS SHIELD network prayer intercession, I made a desperate appeal to the Lord to rescue us, our nation, the church, and to hear the cry of the blood of the 60 million murdered children; and to answer quickly and NOW for HIS own name's sake. In less than one hour, the announcement of Ginsberg's passing came out. 

Do not lose the significance that God started this HEZEKIAH MIRACLE BLAST with the opening up of the third supreme justice seat ON ROSHA SHANA, the Hebrew NEW YEAR, the day that the Torah is refreshed and reset back to the TIME OF BEGINNINGS !!

NOW THE Spirit of the Lord is NUDGING us to other levels of intercession - and we are to usher in, in faith and declaration and repentance; a move of God that shall shake this nation and the Body of Christ. The forces of opposition are assembling consulting, plotting, planning, conspiring to thwart what God is doing, and shall do. They shall fail even as we prevail in prayer, fasting, faith, and power. We must put up a line of defense and a plan of offenses to make the "surge" into darkness that has been breached by the spear of the Lord's providence.

I will be releasing more specifics over the next few days and this week into the moment of my prophetic word at the close of THE RETURN in Washington, DC one week from today on Saturday evening. 

The ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS is and SHALL be doing this. 

Amen

(POTUS Shield)

Amy Coney Barrett Nomination

President Trump Announces the Nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett 
to the Supreme Court


After a thorough decision-making process, President Trump found Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be the ideal candidate to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court. 

- The White House Counsel's Office carefully studied and analyzed the writings and background of every person on President Trump's list of potential nominees.

President Trump publicly released the names of potential Supreme Court nominees to choose from if there were a vacancy, allowing the public greater insight into the process than ever before.

- In an unprecedented move of transparency, President Trump released the names of potential Supreme Court nominees before his election in 2016, and he has periodically updated his list, ensuring that it always contains the finest legal minds in the country. 

President Trump transparently laid out his vision for the federal judiciary for the American people. 

This allowed the American people the opportunity to vote with a clear understanding about his future appointments to the Court.

President Trump fulfilled his promise to voters when he selected Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh from his public list, and he has done so again by selecting Judge Barrett. 

- The American people elected the President in 2016 and expanded the Senate's Republican majority in 2018, making clear their approval of the President's judicial selections. 

- President Trump has been up front in informing the American people about his priorities in choosing a nominee for this lifetime appointment.

Repentance Is a Choice

SOUND THE SHOFAR 

TESHUVA, REPENTANCE IS A CHOICE

9/25/20


Shalom Praying Friends, Daily we are faced with decisions that require a choice and we are the only ones who can make it. We choose to get out of bed. We choose to get dressed and choose what we will wear. We choose to eat or not to eat. We choose to take action or defer. We choose to enter in fully with life or retreat. We choose who to listen to and who to reject. We choose to defy God or obey Him. We choose to repent of our iniquity or choose to wallow in it. We choose to forgive or we choose to swallow the pill of bitterness. We choose to be kind to others or we choose to cut them to the quick. We choose because the Lord gave us a free will when He chose to create us in His image.

As I write this to you, the faithful are gathering in Washington DC and throughout this nation answering the call to repent for our personal sins and of this nation. They are meeting in response to a call to Return to the Lord with a National and Global Day of Repentance.

2Chronicles 7:14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Why at this particular time? Because it's the time!

Leviticus 23:1-2 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.

He then went on to list what those feasts were. There are seven. Right now, on the traditional Jewish calendar, we are in the midst of the "Days of Awe," the 10-day period between Rosh Hashanah (the biblical holy day of Trumpets) and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This period of introspection and repentance begins with the blowing of the shofar. This year, the Day of Atonement, Leviticus 23:31, known also as Yom Kippur, falls on Monday September 28. That date starts at the setting of the sun on the 27th. It is recognized as the most solemn of days as we approach the Lord to cleanse ourselves of all iniquity and to relinquish offense, bitterness and unforgiveness. It is marked by prayer and fasting as we repent of our sins and ask the Lord to forgive us. Oh what a burden we carry when we carry those heavy stones.

Our Weekly Call to Repentance

warriors.png

Dear Saints,


A lifestyle of REPENTANCE is so close to the heart of God.

Indeed, He commands us to " "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" (Matthew 3:2) 

How, then, can we approach His Throne of GRACE, in repentance?

We invite you to join us every week on Sunday evening, as we explore this vital topic together. We present a different prayer focus each week, leading us into repentance, so that we might approach His Throne of Grace in repentance, presenting ourselves to Him as a pure and a spotless Bride, without spot or wrinkle. (Ephesians 5:27)

Praying together, we desire to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 139:

" Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." (Psalm 139:24)


You can join us, any Sunday evening, at 10:00 p.m. EST by calling: 

712-770-5350
Access Code: 150411# 

WELCOME!

". . . and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place." (2 Chronicles 7:14,15)
