Thanks be to, You, GOD! You give us the victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST. - 1 Corinthians 15:57.
Thank You for equipping us with the Armor of God, so we can stand against the devil's schemes:
• Belt of Truth around our waist
• Breastplate of righteousness in place
• Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace
• Shield of faith to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one
• Helmet of salvation
• Sword of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of GOD.
• Prayer, that avails much.
You command us: "Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Thank you for equipping us with Your heavenly armor, so that when the day of evil comes, we may be able to stand our ground, and after we have done everything, to stand. - Ephesians 6: 10-18
We stand on Your Promise on behalf President Trump, Vice President Pence, Judge Kavanaugh, god-fearing legislators and patriots who are persecuted for Your Name's sake:
"No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from Me," says the Lord. - Isaiah 54:17
May justice be served on scoundrals who slander, ridicule, and threaten the lives of good men and women. Surround Your people with Your warrior angels. Shelter them under Your wing. Give them favor, increase their territory, and give back what the enemy has taken from them.
Give us the capacity to forgive our enemies. It is hard to do as we see the evil they have wrought in our nation. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours - to see people saved. Remind us that the real enemy is Satan's minions, who dwell within them. Pour out Your SPIRIT upon on our enemies too, LORD. You are not willing that any perish.
Remind us that the HOLY SPIRIT power that is within us raised CHRIST from the dead. Darkness cannot stand when we shine the Light of JESUS. Every knee must bow and every tongue confess that JESUS is LORD. We can do all things through CHRIST Who gives us strength.
Bless and protect our men and women in uniform wherever they may be. Thank You for their service and selflessness. May Americans honor them for their valor.
Guard our nation, LORD. Erect an invisible fence that will keep illegal aliens, criminals, and enemies from crossing our borders. Have mercy upon those people who are suffering because of floods, fires, and earthquakes. May Christians be place in strategic positions to help with recovery efforts. Keep crooked people gaining financially from others' demise.
Quicken the hearts of believers to rise up and stand as one body to reclaim the soul of America. If Christ is for us, who can be against us? JESUS gives the VICTORY! In GOD we place our Trust.
In JESUS' Name we pray. Amen.

Psalm 145
A Song of Praise. Of David.
[1] I will extol thee, my God and King,
and bless thy name for ever and ever.
[2] Every day I will bless thee,
and praise thy name for ever and ever.
[3] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
[4] One generation shall laud thy works to another,
and shall declare thy mighty acts.
[5] On the glorious splendor of thy majesty,
and on thy wondrous works, I will meditate.
[6] Men shall proclaim the might of thy terrible acts,
and I will declare thy greatness.
[7] They shall pour forth the fame of thy abundant goodness,
and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
[8] The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
[9] The LORD is good to all,
and his compassion is over all that he has made.
[10] All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD,
and all thy saints shall bless thee!
[11] They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,
and tell of thy power,
[12] to make known to the sons of men thy mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendor of thy kingdom.
[13] Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and thy dominion endures throughout all generations.
The LORD is faithful in all his words,
and gracious in all his deeds.
[14] The LORD upholds all who are falling,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
[15] The eyes of all look to thee,
and thou givest them their food in due season.
[16] Thou openest thy hand,
thou satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
[17] The LORD is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings.
[18] The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.
[19] He fulfils the desire of all who fear him,
he also hears their cry, and saves them.
[20] The LORD preserves all who love him;
but all the wicked he will destroy.
[21] My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Amen.
AMEN!!!
"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E.

Thinking of Justice Kavanaugh:
How to Be Strengthened (meditation by David Jeremiah)
My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your word.
Psalm 119:28
For defendants, the rule of law makes all the difference. They will be judged according to the law—not according to opinion or vengeance. The law contains provisions and protections, and defendants will be tried and sentenced, or set free, according to the law—that is, based on the provisions written into the law.
That is a helpful way to think about the psalmist’s words in Psalm 119:28: “strengthen me according to Your word.” The Word of God contains provisions and protections for the one who lives by it. The Bible tells us what is true about God—the provisions He has made for our well-being and the protection He offers those who dwell in Christ. Therefore, when we face times of weakness in life, we can be strengthened by reminding ourselves of the promises, provisions, and protections found in His Word (2 Peter 1:4). Like the psalmist, we can be strengthened according to God’s Word.
If you are feeling weak or discouraged today, open God’s Word to the verses cited in this devotional. Meditate on them and embrace the strength God provides.
The work which His goodness began, the arm of His strength will complete; His promise is Yea and Amen, and never was forfeited yet.
