In these challenging days, we look to You, Abba Father, and to You only, the author and the finisher of our faith. With our eyes fixed upon You, Holy One, we stand firm in the promise of Your Word, that Your Kingdom will come and that YOUR WILL SHALL BE DONE on earth, as it is in heaven. We are not moved by our circumstances, for we now walk by faith and not by sight.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer, amen and amen.

CONFIRM JUDGE AMY CONEY BARRETT
Highly-qualified Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett has already appeared in hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. She has been confirmed once already for a federal judicial position just two years ago.
But her faith has been a lightning rod for political pundits and Democrats who want to deny her the confirmation because of her conservative, originalist approach to the law.
Let your Senator know that Judge Amy Coney Barrett is well-qualified and to move the process to a floor vote!
Send your message on her confirmation today!
There are so many issues to be praying about for our nation at this time. I encourage you to visit IFApray.org to access the latest resources for prayer and action. It is our time to move heaven and earth in prayer!
Grateful for your action!

President/CEO Intercessors for America
> > > TAKE ACTION!
After the first few days of Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, and the solid showing of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, we are calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to move forward to advance the vote to confirm Judge Barrett for Associate Justice for the Supreme Court. Join us to send a message to your Senators!

White House News
Five Stories President Trump Doesn't Want You to Miss
1. Twitter's Partisan Censors -The Wall Street Journal
"The political actions taken Wednesday by Twitter-and to a lesser extent Facebook-went far beyond normal content moderation," The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. "Silicon Valley's partisan interference flies in the face of American instincts about democracy, fair play, and the spirit of the First Amendment."
2. First Lady Melania Trump: 'My Personal Experience with COVID-19' -WhiteHouse.gov
"It was two weeks ago when I received the diagnosis that so many Americans across our country and the world had already received-I tested positive for COVID-19. To make matters worse, my husband, and our nation's Commander-in-Chief, received the same news," First Lady Melania Trump writes.
3. The Senate Should Confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and Quickly -The Hill
"The unfortunate vacancy left by the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg must be filled in a timely manner to continue the important role of the judiciary. The Constitution is clear-the president has a solemn duty to make a nomination for the Senate's consideration. President Trump fulfilled his duty by putting forward Barrett, and now the Senate must do its job," Chase Martin writes.
4. Trump Administration Announces Deal With CVS and Walgreens to Administer Coronavirus Vaccine to Seniors in Long-Term Care -CNBC
President Trump just announced "a deal with CVS Health and Walgreens to administer coronavirus vaccines to the elderly and staff in long-term care facilities," Berkeley Lovelace Jr. writes. "The vaccine will be free and available for residents in all long-term care settings," including nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
5. Operation Legend: Over 5,000 Arrests Made to Reduce Violent Crimes After a 4-Year Old's Murder -The Daily Caller
"Since the start of the [Justice Department's Operation Legend] in July there have been over 5,000 arrests including federal offenses, drug charges, and murder charges," Kimberly Eade reports. Violent crime spiked across major U.S. cities following riots this summer. "Kansas City has a 40 percent increase of homicides compared to last year. President Donald Trump promised to protect cities that have high rates of violent crimes."

Our Weekly Call to Repentance
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)
