A Spirit-led Prayer for America

Hello Precious Believers,
I know you are concerned for the coming election and the state of our nation. I woke up this morning asking God to show me how to pray for America. This is what He Laid on my heart. I immediately got up and wrote it down.
Perhaps you will join with fellow believers and pray this prayer for our nation. I believe the prayer of agreement, corporate prayer is important (as in the book of Esther) and II Chron.7:14.
Blessings to all,

PRAYER FOR AMERICA
O God of heaven, Great and Mighty Warrior, arise and let Your enemies be scattered. (Ex. 15:3 and Psa. 68: 10.) Let those who hate you flee for their lives.
Father, we praise YOU and honor You, Creator of heaven and earth and all that is within. We know You inhabit the praises of Your people. We are Your people, and we praise You with the fruit of our lips because you are worthy!
Father we come as joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Redeemer. We come to the court of heaven in the garments His righteousness. We come boldly to Your throne as Your word says for us to do.
We come knowing that we have an adversary who walks the earth seeking whom he may devour. We declare by the authority of Your word, that we do not allow Satan to devour us or our children's children. We cancel every assignment of the enemy against us. We lay down a blood line around our households, a land of Goshen blood line, and we declare there is Light in our camps and the darkness cannot overcome it because we dwell in the secret place of the Almighty,  under the shadow of Your wings. We decree and declare victory over every scheme of the enemy against us. We declare he is defeated. We praise You for this victory.
Father we have weapons of warfare which are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. We take the sword of the Spirit which is Your word, and we command the strongholds of wickedness in high places to be defeated! We loose the armies of heaven's angels to drive out spiritual wickedness from our government. We speak to you minions of hell, in the Name of Jesus which is above every name, and we command you to take your hands off people who are ministers of governmental authority in this nation. We come against every godless legislation and supreme court ruling and command it to be reversed. We repent for our nation's failure to vote against such rulings, and  failure to support godliness in our candidates. Forgive us merciful God. We join our prayer with every believer across the world who is praying for restoration of godliness in America. Hear us from heaven. Heal our land. Be America's God as You said in II Chron. 7:14.
We declare the victory belongs to You and to the body of Christ on the earth and the gates of hell shall not prevail. We decree with Jesus:
Thy kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In God we trust, and not in money or government.  
We rejoice and praise You Father God almighty. Glory to Jesus, king of kings and lord of lords, halleluiah. You are worthy to receive all glory and honor and majesty and power forever and ever.



To My One And Only Grandson

To My One and Only Grandson,

I'm so proud of you!
I have no greater I joy than to know my children serve the Lord (3rd John 1:4).

Choose your friends and girlfriends wisely. The Bible says: "make no mistake, wrong-doing companions destroy good behavior. (I Cor. 15:33). That's how Kirk got off on the wrong track. Hanging around with the wrong crowd. I know you won't do that.

Also you are wise to avoid girls who do not have good morals. Proverbs chapter 7 warns you about this.
If any girl entices you to do wrong, and many girls also fall into this trap with words such as, "If you love me, you will . . . " here is what you answer: "If you love me, you wouldn't ask me to do something which God's word says is wrong." Read Galatians 5:19.

When you read the story of Joseph (Gen. 39:7) and the story of Samson (Judges 16) you will see that Samson had great, supernatural strength, but Joseph had strong moral character. Samson ended up blind and helpless. Joseph ended up second in command of all Egypt, used mightily by God to save a nation and also his own family. 
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body." I Cor. 6:18.


You are a Joseph, my son.

I love you to the moon and back a thousand times.


Grandma Hat.

Iron sharpens iron and sometimes the sparks just fly.

Incredible how we people of faith and passion can passionately create sparks that fly when discussing our theological differences.
It has been said that two subjects off-the-dinner-table discussions are religion and politics.
Well, I like to stir the pot with a little stimulating differences now and then, but some differences that cause sparks that might boil over and should be quickly extinguished.
I can win an argument, but I never will at the cost of a friend.
My fire extinguisher is: I respect your opinion. I love your companionship. I bless your enthusiasm.
(And I keep quiet after that.)
