Nehemiah 4:14 And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”

Please join us this Saturday, Nov 17, for a day of prayer and fasting for our nation.

Thank you so much for posting this metmom. My heart echos your prayers. Our country and our freedoms are in grave danger.

May we commit ourselves to fast and pray as intercessors for America and her people.

I think it’s up to the church, the body of believers, to be responsible for the spiritual health of our country.

Since this battle is a spiritual one, no one else is equipped to deal with it effectively.

God bless you.

Isaiah 58:5-9 (NKJV) 5 Is it a fast that I have chosen, A day for a man to afflict his soul? [Is it] to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, And an acceptable day to the LORD? 6 “[Is] this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 [Is it] not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I [am.]’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

Great idea, metmom. I share your frustration and will be praying and fasting with you.

I will join you. I’ve been guilty of despairing in recent days. (Especially with the voter fraud, that’s gotten me down more than anything lately.)

Trusting in God and praying is so much better!

[metmom]

I think all of us can relate to that feeling of despair.

I think the thing that’s got us down so much is that nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it.

There have been some republicans who are protesting, but NOBODY is enforcing the laws on the books and putting a stop to it.

It’s like those who elected to represent us have just betrayed us and handed everything over to the enemy.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (II Chronicles 7:14)

Joining my brothers and sisters in the Lord to fast and pray for God's forgiveness and healing of our nation.

Praise the Lord! I will be praying and fasting too!

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Revelation 5:6-13

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” John 4:35
