Laying Siege over the Elections

Laying Siege over the Election:

Saturday, October 24, 2020

Today is Day 10 of 21 Days

Prayer, Fasting, and Repentance for the Election
Our verse to claim for today:

GALATIANS 6:9

It is written: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Our prayer:

Father God, it has been almost nine months since our nation went into complete lockdown, and since we have been fighting COVID19. Lord God in heaven, clearly today, this battle is not yet won.

Father God, once again, we fix our hope upon You, the author and the finisher of our faith, to carry us through. Together, we bind the spirits of depression and hopelessness that abides among many of our people, and we loose strength, courage and hope, in Your Name. We cancel the impact that this mindset may have upon our citizens, causing them to give up, and not go to the polls with an attitude of "what's the use?" We declare and decree STRENGTH to our people, and HOPE for the future that YOU have in store for our nation. And finally, Lord, we cancel the words spoken by the Democratic candidate for president, Joe Biden, who spoke of the "dark winter" that lies ahead for America. We speak the TRUTH that only greater things now lie ahead for our people as we restore our HOPE in You!

Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, in Your name, amen and amen.

> > > Secondary verses:

"Whatsoever ye bind on earth shall be bound in heaven." (Matthew 18:18)

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:12)

A GREAT, INTERNATIONAL PRO-LIFE VICTORY!

U.S. Signs Declaration Asserting No International Right To Abortion

SIGNED! Geneva Consensus Declaration

On Thursday, you might have missed the Trump Administration's signing of the 32-country Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family. Take a look, as I think you'll like it. Examples of some lines from the declaration include:
- "there is no international right to abortion, nor any international obligation on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion;"

- "in no case should abortion be promoted as a method of family planning;"

- "the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State;"

- "motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance;" and

- "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

> > > To read the Text of the Declaration, go here.

To read the Remarks by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and HHS Secretary Alex Azar, go here.

- Father God, today we join with believers around the world, rejoicing at the signing of this universal declaration supporting LIFE. We praise You, O Lord, amen!

- "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6)

Day of Prayer and Fasting

Franklin Graham calls day of prayer and fasting for tomorrow: Sunday, October 25th, 2020

Franklin Graham, the CEO of the relief group Samaritan's Purse and of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is calling for a day of prayer and fasting for Sunday.

He recently held the "Washington Prayer March 2020" on the National Mall in Washington, which coincided with the "The Return - National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance," led by Jonathan Cahn, the Messianic rabbi known for his New York Times bestsellers, including "The Harbinger."

But more is needed, Graham wrote Friday on Facebook

"Our nation is at a critical juncture," Graham said. "We need to call out to God for His help, His intervention, and His mercy. It is only by His hand that America will survive and be able to thrive again. We have an election coming up with so much at stake-two vastly different directions for the future of this country. This not only affects us, but our children and our grandchildren."

Graham noted that when the survival of Israel under King Jehoshaphat was at stake, the king "called for a fast."

"The people sought the Lord and His help-and He delivered them," he said.

He cited Chronicles 20:3-4: "And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord."

Graham said that with Election Day coming Nov. 3, he is "urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation Sunday, October 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?"

Before his National Mall event, Graham said America is facing trouble, and the "only hope for America is God." (WorldNetDaily) Read more.

New Age Medicine in Law

New Age Medicine in Law
In August, we reported about a New Age medicine bill, S. 785, proposed in the name of preventing veteran suicide. Last Saturday, President Trump signed it into law. - Father God, we repent that this bill, even with its good intentions, has now been signed into law. As believers in Christ, who have understood the deceptive ways of the enemy, we recognize that "healing strategies," like the use of yoga lessons, can only empower the work of the evil one in the lives of those who are seeking help. We now take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and we bind the effects of any false methods of "healing" that have now been passed into law, and we pray for the protection of any who may be exposed to these schemes. We ask this in Your Name, Holy One, amen and amen. - (For those who worked to pass this law):
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

(To bind the spirit of suicidal depression among our veterans):
" . . . whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18:18)

(For those who will be treated by these methods):
". . . he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways . . ." (Psalm 91:11)

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)
