Today's Prayer Focus:
Asking God to Strengthen the Frontline Troops
Today's Verse:
It is written:
"In that day the Lord of hosts will be . . . a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate."
Commentary:
Today we want to pass this message along to all of you from one of those who IS "turning the battle at the gate":
Also please pray for strength as many are working very long hours and are getting tired, but when the country is under outright attack, we can't sit back and relax. Clear thinking, faith in God and God's favor, his power is what we need. 1 Kings 1 - Adonijah will not succeed. Let God declare who is rightfully the winner.
Our Prayer:
"Father God, we bring this prayer request right to Your Throne of Grace. We ask You, O Holy and Mighty One, to grant even a double portion of Your strength to the ones who are now fighting to establish a TRUE COUNT of the vote that was taken on Election Day. Grant them a refreshing, O Lord, we pray . . . and release in each heart a fresh outpouring of the JOY OF THE LORD, which is our strength.
Father God, we ask this prayer, too, for all of us who are on this prayer line . . . for this year's election process is now taking a long time to come to a conclusion. Give us Your hope, O Lord, we pray, as we all now await the outcome of Election 2020.
Supporting verses:
Nehemiah 8:10 - " . . . the joy of the LORD is your strength."
Deuteronomy 33:25 (AMP) - " . . . as your days are, so will your strength, your rest and security be."
Pro-Trump Supporters Descend on DC
Pro-Trump supporters descend on DC for 'Million MAGA March' near White House
Supporters of President Trump gathered Saturday in Washington, D.C. -- echoing claims of voter fraud and urging him not to concede to President-elect Joe Biden -- and were rewarded by an appearance from Trump himself.
The president and his motorcade drove past the supporters, some of them waving Trump flags and holding signs saying "Stop the Fraud" and "Best Prez Ever." The crowd chanted "Four More Years!" as Trump gave a thumbs up.
Trump hinted Friday on Twitter he may attend the rally, but his motorcade Saturday was headed to his Virginia golf course instead.
"Heartwarming to see all of the tremendous support out there, especially the organic Rallies that are springing up all over the Country, including a big one on Saturday in D.C," Trump tweeted Friday. "I may even try to stop by and say hello."
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania . . .
Pennsylvania court: Secretary of state lacked authority to change deadline 2 days before Election Day
A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of the Trump campaign Thursday, ordering that the state may not count ballots where the voters needed to provide proof of identification and failed to do so by Nov. 9.
State law said that voters have until six days after the election - this year that was Nov. 9 - to cure problems regarding a lack of proof of identification. After the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots could be accepted three days after Election Day, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar submitted guidance that said proof of identification could be provided up until Nov. 12, which is six days from the ballot acceptance deadline. That guidance was issued two days before Election Day.
"[T]he Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline . . . for certain electors to verify proof of identification," Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt said in a court order.
This was in line with the Trump campaign's argument, which was that there was no basis in the state's law to extend the identification deadline, and that Boockvar did not have the power to unilaterally change it. (Fox News)

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)
