"And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

 GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS’ PRAYER GUIDE

Pray for our government officials by name.

I urge, first, that requests, prayers, intersession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings, and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. (1 Timothy 2:1-5; 8)

1. Pray they would know Jesus and walk with Him.

Lord, we lift up to you each one of our elected officials and appointed officials. We ask for the Holy Spirit to move upon the hearts of every person serving in our government who doesn’t have a personal relationship with you, that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. And we also lift up to you all those who know you Lord, and we pray they would walk with you daily as they govern our nation.

“And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy” (Colossians 1:9-11). “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4).

2. Pray their families would be strengthened.

Heavenly Father, we lift up to you every government representative and their family. We pray for protection against any division or strife that might seek to divide families as government leaders spend time away from their homes to serve in Washington D.C. We pray for marriages to be strengthened and children to be raised in your truth. We pray for your blessing on their lives.

“But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children - with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts” (Psalm 103:17-18). “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:14-19).

3. Pray they would operate under God’s wisdom.

Almighty God, we pray every leader in Washington D.C. would come to know the true wisdom that comes only from you. Every good and perfect gift we know is from above. We ask for the hearts of government leaders to be humbled,

that they would fear you Lord above all and seek you in prayer and in scripture to know how to handle the important issues of our day. We thank you for the good gift of human government, for those you have sent to punish evildoers and to commend those who do good.

“Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling” (Psalm 2:10-11). “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5). “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers” (Proverbs 11:14).

Change is Coming Soon!

Change is Coming

I had a really restless last evening and woke up in the wee hours of the morning and could not go back to sleep, even after praying. I found out today that many others also felt it, so I began to seek the Lord about what we were sensing. This is what He said.

 This land has known a time of ease and prosperity and prosperity made fools of many who found the world too alluring to resist. I shall begin to tear down the false gods My people have chosen over Me and reveal their powerlessness one by one.

 Some of you will weep as you see your false gods destroyed but this must be done, that you may know Me as the one true living God. Your false gods are only illusions the enemy has devised to steal your worship away from Me.

 Many of you have felt a stirring in the spirit of late. You have felt weeping in your soul for the lost, those who do not know Me. You have felt My grief at those who will be lost in the end.

 The time has come for My judgments to be rendered in the earth. Many lives shall be lost in what is coming. Many souls will be lost to the enemy if My people do not obey Me in this time. I desire My people would pray focused prayers - for the lost, for their cities, for their nations, that I may show mercy. If My people do not obey Me, some of the lost will be among their own families and loved ones. They shall suffer greatly for their lack of obedience in this time.

 Tell them. Tell them I am coming. Tell them to be ready to hear My commands. Tell them to start praying and not cease until it is over. Tell them I am coming.

 You shall see fearful sights. Men's hearts truly will fail them in what they see. A change is coming. Things will not ever go back the way they were after this change. This change will not appear the way you think it will. It will come softly, but it is a big change, behind the scenes, and the impact will be high. The change will not be evident immediately, but over time. Once it has taken place, however, it will not revert. You will not be able to miss this change once it has taken place, and you will know what it is.

 You must tell My people how to prepare for this change. Tell them I love them (I heard such incredible sadness and grief in His voice when He said that He loves us!) Tell them My judgments are righteous and those who are judged now have time to repent. (There are people in whose lives God's hand of judgment is already beginning to fall - I saw in my spirit that these were the ones He meant here).

Those who are judged later will not.

 Tell My people to pass before Me (I saw His throne in my spirit and felt He meant to pass before His throne by praying) and repent of every sin they know of they have and let Me help them. The time to turn from your sins is now - do not wait, My children! Do not wait, for time is much shorter than you think. Come before Me and confess your sins now for My judgments are coming to your land and many of you will not have time later. (I felt a really terrible heaviness in my spirit when He said that.) You must not neglect to do this. Even sins you think of as small must be confessed that I may forgive you now and you must turn from them. What is coming in this next year will create a rocky path for many of you to walk on, your times will not be easy. Difficulties shall abound all around you.

 The changes you see happening now are only the very beginning. Some of you believe everything will return as it was and that it will be (what we call) "business as usual," but it shall not be so. Change is here to stay.

 In coming months, you shall feel as if you are standing on shifting sands for there will be constant change. Some of these changes you may suspect are coming, others will be complete surprises to many of you.

It is time to move forward, My people, for time is short.
