"... if My people who are called by name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Now My eyes will be open
and My ears attentive to prayer ..." 
2 Chronicles 7:14-15

2019: THE YEAR OF JESUS CHRIST
I received this word from the LORD. But what does it mean?
 
Maybe we could put it this way: it is Jesus Christ’s year … or the year that belongs to Him! Jesus, all that He is, the great and powerful Savior and LORD in manifestation! He who is anointed with all authority and all power in heaven and in earth shall begin to move upon every city, into every nation. That means: Souls! Souls! Souls!
Since we are one with Him, guess what? That means “Prepare to be boarded!” In other words — we’ve got work to do! Separate yourself to Him, come up into the sanctuary of His peace and rest. Allow yourself to receive more of Him, His Word, and His anointing for He has already “raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:6) Your anointing must increase now!

Declare every day: 2019 The Year of Jesus Christ!
 
The Work of Intercession: Prepare the Way!
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.’” (See Isaiah 40:3-10)
 
Pray a spirit of repentance to fall upon the lost in our cities so that they can hear the Gospel message of salvation.
Pray for The Glorious Church to be bold to share the Gospel and love of God to others.
Pray for Pastors.

2. Daily prayer for President Trump:
Protection
Father, I pray the precious Blood of Jesus over my President, his family, his staff and advisors. May Your angels watch over them and keep them in all their ways today and the days to come. (Psalm 91:11)
 
May the Angel of the LORD encamp around the President and deliver him from every evil. May You deliver him from all his fears and save him out of all his troubles. (Psalm 34:4-7)
 
I declare that no weapon formed against President Trump shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment he shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me, says the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17)
 
God says: "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm." (Psalm 105:15)
 
I pray that You would hide President Trump from the “secret plots from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, who sharpen their tongue like a sword.” (Psalm 64:2) Let their net that they have hidden catch themselves, into that very destruction let them fall.” (Psalm 35:8)
 
Keep the President from the snares the enemy has laid for him. Protect him from those who seek to destroy him. Give him Your safe way of escape. (Psalm 141:9-10)
 
Bless this President, LORD, and surround him with your shield of favor and mercy. (Psalm 5:12 & 32:10) Keep him healthy and give him strength all his days.
 
Wisdom
The President and his staff “commit their works unto the LORD, and their thoughts shall be established.” (Proverbs 16:3) Father, give President Trump Your wisdom. Help him to make right decisions in all that he needs to do today.

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools..."

CURRENT  NEWS: We're not receiving updates due to the Government shut down.
Below are three current news feeds from the White House. ​When reading through these, be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit on what to pray for.

 

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

12.21.18
President Trump Signs $867 Billion Farm Bill, Tightening Rules for Food Stamp Recipients
In Fox News, Paulina Dedaj reports that President Donald J. Trump signed a bipartisan 2018 Farm Bill yesterday that secures more funding to put U.S. agriculture and American farmers on top.
 
“We are ensuring that American agriculture will always feed our families, nourish our communities, power our commerce and inspire our nation,” the President said. The bill will improve crop insurance, disaster relief programs, and access to rural broadband, among other provisions.  Click here to read more.

Asylum-seekers crossing Mexico to reach the United States will now have to wait for an immigration court hearing before being granted access to the American homeland, Stephen Dinan reports for The Washington Times. “Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the goal is to end the ‘catch and release’ practice that has enticed a wave of illegal immigrants to head north in recent years, convinced that they will be able to make bogus asylum claims and then slip into the shadows.”

“The House voted Thursday to give President Trump $5.7 billion for a border wall, hours after Trump warned Republicans that he would veto the spending bill if it didn't boost border security,” Susan Ferrechio reports in the Washington Examiner. President Trump met with Republicans at the White House yesterday to make his position clear. The bill now moves to the Senate for a vote today.

“Congress approved a sweeping bipartisan criminal justice reform bill on Thursday, handing President Trump a major legislative victory on an issue championed by his White House,” Adam Shaw writes for Fox News. “This is a great bi-partisan achievement for everybody,” President Trump tweeted. “When both parties work together we can keep our Country safer.”

12.20.18
Optimism Among US Manufacturers at Record High Heading into 2019
“American manufacturers think the future looks bright,” Joe Williams reports for the Washington Examiner.
“Nearly 89 percent of the 539 companies polled by the National Association of Manufacturers in the fourth quarter held a positive outlook for their business, bringing the yearly average to 92.4 percent, the highest in the survey’s 20-year history.”  Click here to read more.

Saturday will mark the one-year anniversary of President Donald J. Trump signing historic tax cuts into law. “Kevin Hassett, chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, said strong capital spending and economic growth are proof that the good times can be sustained,” Gabriella Muñoz writes in The Washington Times. “We got exactly the growth affect we predicted last year,” Hassett said.

“Thankfully, the era of broken promises ended in 2016,” Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., writes in the Ledger-Enquirer. “For Trump, strengthening American communities is fundamental to American success. The FIRST STEP Act does just that by establishing job-training initiatives to better prepare prisoners to re-enter society after they are release.”

In USA Today, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue writes that the Trump Administration’s new proposed Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) rules will encourage productivity instead of poverty. “The president has directed me, as Secretary of Agriculture, to propose regulatory reforms to ensure that those who are able to work do so in exchange for their benefits.”

“During the 2016 campaign, President Trump promised blue-collar and low-wage service sector workers that he would improve their lot. A new labor-market study by a major business group suggests he's kept his word,” the Investor’s Business Daily editorial board writes. “The study by the Conference Board, the New York-based global business organization and think tank, foundthat blue-collar workers aren't just doing better, they're now in short supply.”

12.19.18
Senate Passes Landmark Prison Reform Bill Marking a Major Bipartisan Win for President Trump
“The Senate on Tuesday approved the most sweeping prison reform bill in years,” one that aims to keep inmates from ending up back behind bars after they serve their time, Stephen Dinan reports for The Washington Times.
 
“The measure cleared on an 87-12 vote and marks a major bipartisan victory for President Trump, who had pressured GOP leaders to pass it this year, before lawmakers closed down Congress . . . Dubbed the First Step Act, the legislation would expand prison programs designed to reduce recidivism and allow some prisoners to earn credits toward early release by taking part in those programs.”
Click here to read more.

“With NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building and a SpaceX rocket as his backdrop, Vice President Mike Pence announced Tuesday the nation’s plans to return to dominance in space. It’ll do it, first, by creating a U.S. Space Command, the 11th unified combatant command in the country,” Chabeli Herrera writes in the Orlando Sentinel.

The President’s Commission on School Safety, which President Trump created in response to the Parkland, Florida, shooting in February, issued its final report on preventing school violence yesterday. “The 177-page report also tackles building security, violence in the media, and school resource officers, and opposes raising the age for buying guns,” Fred Lucas writes in The Daily Signal.

“The Trump administration on Tuesday took first steps to ban the sale of bump stocks on semi-automatic weapons and has made them illegal to possess beginning in late March,” Andrew O’Reilly reports for Fox News. “In March, President Donald Trump said his administration would ‘ban’ the devices, which he said ‘turn legal weapons into illegal machines.’”

In USA Today, Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) writes that she “recently visited the United States-Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona, where [she] met with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents and was briefed on the challenges of an unsecured border. The problem we are dealing with is not just illegal immigration; there are illicit drugs flowing through our borders, human trafficking, and dangerous cartels exploiting vulnerable women and children. The biggest takeaway: We need the wall and the wall will work.”

12.18.18
White House Nominee for Drug Czar: Hope and Healing Amid the Horrors of Addiction This Holiday Season

In Fox News, Jim Carroll—President Donald J. Trump’s nominee for Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy—writes that this Christmas season is a time to keep those struggling with opioid addiction in our thoughts.
 
“The White House has erected the Recovery and Remembrance Tree as part of its Christmas decorations. Like many Christmas trees, this one is decorated with lights, ornaments, and a star on top. However, this tree is also adorned with notes sharing the stories of people battling against an addiction,” Carroll writes.
Click here to read more.

In The Daily Caller, Paris Dennard writes that President Trump has been a champion for black Americans, turning campaign promises “into federal policy for the betterment of all Americans, especially those in fragile communities and black Americans. His ‘jobs and justice’ agenda has focused on criminal justice reform, Opportunity Zones, and tremendous rule changes at the Department of Labor that will make positive impacts in the lives of minority small business owners and those with 401ks.”

In The Hill, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX) and American Farm Bureau Foundation President Zippy Duvall write that the Trump Administration’s Clean Water Rule is a big win for America’s farmers. “The new Clean Water Rule empowers land owners with the clarity they need to comply with the Clean Water Act. Now, farmers, ranchers, and other small business owners will be able to look at their land and know—without a team of scientists and attorneys—which parts of their land are regulated.”

“Over the past few months, Energy Secretary Rick Perry has been delivering an important message to our country’s allies: America’s energy renaissance is your gift, too. As Perry said at the beginning of the year, ‘The United States is not just exporting energy, we’re exporting freedom,’” Katie Tubb and Nicolas Loris write in The Daily Signal. “When domestic producers have new customers abroad, America’s allies will have more energy choice as well as freedom from hostile actors.”

12.17.18
First Lady Melania Trump’s Spokeswoman Speaks Out
“This holiday season, Mrs. Trump has made every effort to spread joy and good cheer to citizens across the country,” the First Lady’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Stephanie Grisham writes. “But the media consistently ignores the first lady's work on behalf of the people of this country, and children in particular, in favor of more trivial matters,” Grisham explains, responding to an attack last week by CNN contributor Kate Anderson Bower. Click here to read more.

“President Trump paid a Saturday visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where thousands of volunteers had just taken part in the rain in the annual holiday wreath-laying tribute to those who served—and died—in America’s wars,” Robert Gearty reports for Fox News. “They do a great job, a really great job. Thank you,” the President said of these volunteers during the visit.

It’s “time to finish the wall,” The Washington Times editorial board argues. “Democrats feign concern for taxpayers who would pick up the tab, but a glance at the costs of illegal immigration demonstrates that the nation can hardly afford not to build it. The nation spent $2.4 billion in 2014 just to cover the costs of illegal immigrant women bearing their children in the United States.”

In Fox News, Andy Puzder joins former Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) to explain how President Trump’s tough stand on trade with China will benefit America—and the world. “For decades, American presidents made sincere – if naïve – efforts to bring China into the international trading community on an equal footing with other nations . . . President Trump, by contrast, has initiated a vigorous campaign to compete with China on a number of fronts, and it’s having an impact.”

From the White House
1.17.18
Dear Madame Speaker...
Today, President Donald J. Trump sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), informing her that her planned taxpayer-funded travel abroad would be postponed until after the Federal Government is reopened.

“We will reschedule” her excursion when the Shutdown is over, he writes.

The President hopes Speaker Pelosi will remain in Washington, and he made clear that there is a standing invitation to continue negotiations at any time. If the Speaker chooses to leave the country, it would only guarantee that 800,000 American workers will continue to go without pay for at least another week—and possibly longer. 

President Trump explained that Speaker Pelosi is still welcome to make her trip by flying commercial. His letter today simply directs that U.S. Military resources not go toward this international trip while Federal workers wait for Congress to negotiate with President Trump and reopen the Government. 

Since the Shutdown began, the President has canceled planned travel and stayed in Washington, ready to make a deal. On the other side, Speaker Pelosi took a vacation to Hawaii days after the Shutdown began, and over 30 Democratic Members of Congress took a chartered flight to Puerto Rico for a retreat with lobbyists and corporate executives. 
See President Trump’s full letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

1.10.19
Millions of Americans, both Republican and Democrat, voted for President Donald J. Trump to reverse decades of failure by Washington and fix America’s broken immigration system. 

With that election, the American people sent a message that they are tired of politicians talking one way about our border and then acting another.

President Trump will keep his promise. He has offered a strong, common-sense proposal to stop gang members, drug smugglers, and human traffickers from exploiting our Southern border. It’s a goal most Democrats claim to share. But when the Administration requested $5.7 billion—about .01 percent of the 2018 Federal budget—for construction of a border wall, Democrats walked away.
No more political games. It’s time to come together and make a deal.

Democrats say they want border security 
This week, Democratic leaders exposed their indifference and denial when they called the humanitarian and security crisis at our border “a manufactured crisis.” It turns out many Democrats, including President Obama, don’t agree. 

The stories of suffering are real, as President Trump told Americans on Tuesday night. Each week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone—90 percent of which floods across our Southern border. The gaps in our security leave a pathway for drug cartels and human traffickers, who prey on vulnerable migrants and their children.

Open borders empower criminals, too. In California, an Air Force veteran was raped and brutally murdered by an illegal alien with a long criminal history. In Maryland, MS-13 gang members who arrived in our country as unaccompanied minors were charged with viciously stabbing a 16-year-old girl last year.

These aren’t isolated crimes. In the last two years, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have arrested more than a quarter-million aliens with criminal records—including those charged with or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 4,000 murders.

To their credit, rank-and-file Democrats have started breaking with their leaders, admitting that physical barriers are needed. “I don’t understand [Speaker Nancy Pelosi] saying it’s ‘immoral,’” Sen. Angus King (I-ME) says. “Certainly you need barriers and we support barriers,” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) explains.

Your voice matters. Washington is starting to listen. “If I am getting comments and contact from my constituents expressing concern that the Democrats are not prioritizing security, then I think we can do better,” Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) says.
In case you missed it: President Trump addresses the Nation.
Setting the record straight  
With the mainstream media often acting like Democratic surrogates instead of objective watchdogs, a lot of misinformation is spreading about border security and the current Government shutdown. Senior Administration officials have been working hard to correct the record:

• Criminals and terrorists can and do exploit our porous border. “The threat is real,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen says—the number of individuals on the terror watchlist encountered at our Southern border has increased over the last two years.
• Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says using a physical barrier to protect our border is “immoral.” Press Secretary Sarah Sanders is pushing for clarity: “So does Pelosi want to tear down the hundreds of miles of barrier that already exist and many Democrats voted for?”
• Most important, the crisis on the border is real. Four-in-five Americans agree.

4 things the West Wing is reading today   
1. “There is a humanitarian and security crisis at our southwest border. It is getting worse, and a “status quo” response from Congress — inadequate authorities, insufficient funds and indifference to the chaos — will not cut it.” 
Read more: Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen in USA Today

2. Mark Morgan, a Border Patrol chief under former President Obama, “said he’s most frustrated by how children are brought into the country illegally under perilous conditions because coyotes exploit vulnerabilities at the border . . . ‘I don’t understand why anyone would be against developing a process that stops that from happening.’”
Read more: Obama Border Patrol chief: ‘Stay the course’ on the border wall

3. Politicians “are not the ones that are investigating the crimes. They are not the ones out here when it’s 120 degrees, processing a crime scene where 14 people were left to die in the desert,” says Leon Wilmot, Sheriff in Yuma County, Arizona.

4. “Most important, Pelosi and Schumer failed to use the one word that millions of Americans were longing to hear — compromise. But Trump did. That is why the president won the night,” Marc Thiessen of the American Enterprise Institute writes.
Read more: Trump won the night. Schumer and Pelosi lost.

12.20.18
This evening, President Donald J. Trump called on Democrats to come together and put the safety of the American people before politics.
“Border security must become a #1 priority!” the President tweeted.

The 2018 Farm Bill, explained
A few hours ago, President Trump signed into law one of his biggest priorities for 2018: a Farm Bill that will keep American agriculture and farmers on top globally.
For the first time since 1990, a farm bill has been enacted in the same year it was introduced before Congress. The 2018 bill provides crucial funding for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as support, certainty, and stability for America’s farmers. Specifically, the new law:

• Extends farm support programs and improves crop insurance
  
  
• Opens new markets for American farmers
  
  
• Maintains vital disaster programs
  
  
• Promotes voluntary conservation

The 2018 Farm Bill, which also expands rural broadband access and dedicates resources to fighting the opioid crisis, is just the latest in President Trump’s mission to put rural communities back on track. Saturday will mark the one-year anniversary of the President’s historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, for example, which expanded the estate tax exemption that is so crucial to family farms across America.

Of course, nothing is perfect. Although the Farm Bill enhanced Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program integrity, it missed an opportunity to close loopholes that trap Americans in poverty. To help fix that, the Administration is proposing a new rule with commonsense measures to move SNAP recipients toward self-sufficiency through meaningful work whenever possible.  President Trump signs the Farm Bill: What you should know

Throwback Thursday: President Trump, Green Acres style!
Big news on border security
Aliens trying to enter the United States to claim asylum will no longer be released into our country, where they often disappear before an immigration judge can determine their claim’s merits.

Instead, these individuals will be processed by the Department of Homeland Security and given a “Notice to Appear” date. The Mexican government has made its own determination to provide humanitarian visas, work authorization, and other protections while these aliens await their hearing in a U.S. immigration court. They will also have access to immigration attorneys.

Those whose claims are upheld by U.S. judges will be allowed to enter the United States. Those without valid claims will be deported to their home countries. Secretary Nielsen announces historic action to confront illegal immigration.

12.19.18
President Trump is honoring his promise on Syria 

Five years ago, ISIS was a powerful, destructive force in the Middle East. By late May 2015, the terrorist group would control half of Syria—including all of the country’s border crossings with Iraq. 

The American people were rightly worried. Then-candidate Donald J. Trump made them two solemn promises. The first was that America and its allies would defeat ISIS. The second was that our troops would never be put in harm’s way longer than absolutely necessary to protect the American people.

In his first days in office, President Trump changed the rules of engagement, empowering U.S. military commanders on the ground. The results were unmistakable. In August 2017, The Washington Post reported that gains against ISIS had “dramatically” accelerated on his watch: “Nearly a third of territory reclaimed from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria since 2014 has been won in the past six months.”

Eight months later, in April 2018, President Trump announced that “over the last year, nearly 100 percent of the territory once controlled by the so-called ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq has been liberated and eliminated.”

Today, the President is honoring his promise. “As other nations step up their contributions, we look forward to the day when we can bring our warriors home,” he said in April. This morning, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced that “we have started returning United States troops home as we transition to the next phase of this campaign.”

The Global Coalition against ISIS will not end. “The United States and our allies stand ready to re-engage at all levels to defend American interests whenever necessary.” Read the statement on Syria from Press Secretary Sanders.

Historic prison reform passes in the Senate
Nearly all incarcerated Americans will one day leave prison. President Trump’s goal is to make sure they never return.

Last night, in an 87-12 vote, the Senate passed “the most sweeping prison reform bill in years,” as Stephen Dinan of The Washington Times describes it. Once the updated bill is approved by the House—which passed an earlier version of the legislation in May—it will go to President Trump’s desk for his signature.

The First Step Act is a landmark bipartisan win for our country. It draws on the success of prison reform efforts in conservative states such as Texas and Georgia, aiming to make our communities safer by making our justice system fairer. More inmates will soon be able to gain job skills, receive drug treatment, and participate in faith-based programs. As a result, they’ll be more likely to return to society as productive citizens rather than repeat criminal offenders.
“By pushing the FIRST STEP Act over its final major hurdle, the president has upheld yet another promise to the American people,” writes Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. Why President Trump supports historic criminal justice reform

12.18.18
As 2018 closes, 6 big priorities at the White House
From day one, President Donald J. Trump pledged not to rest until he delivered on his promise to fix Washington. That commitment doesn’t take a break for the holidays.

From border security and school safety to reinvigorating America’s space program, here’s an inside look at six big priorities the Administration is working on this week: 

• Securing our border: Today, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders reiterated the message President Trump delivered to Democratic leaders last week: He will not back down until he can make sure that American citizens are protected. Watch a clip from her interview with Fox News this morning.
  
  
• Building the Space Force: President Trump took a crucial step toward creation of the Space Force by directing the Department of Defense to establish a Combatant Command, which will oversee all U.S. military activities in space.

• Keeping our kids safe: After the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida, President Trump established the School Safety Commission to make recommendations on how to prevent violence in our schools. Today, the Commission released its final 180-page report. Get the facts and see their recommendations.
  
  
• Banning bump stocks: Earlier this year, the President instructed the Department of Justice to review a rule that would ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker has signed the final rule. “We will continue to take illegal guns off of our streets.”
  
  
• Reforming our prisons: Historic, bipartisan criminal justice reform is moving closer to President Trump's desk. “Our whole Nation benefits if former inmates are able to reenter society as productive, law-abiding citizens,” the President says. Why he supports the First Step Act.
  
  
• Delivering for American farmers: This week, President Trump plans to sign another important piece of bipartisan legislation—the 2018 “farm bill,” which will strengthen American agriculture. “Our economy is stronger than ever–we stand with our Farmers!” the President tweeted this week.

President Trump visits Arlington National Cemetery

For 27 years now, each December, thousands of Americans have come together on National Wreaths Across America Day to honor our Nation’s veterans. This past Saturday, President Donald J. Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, thanking volunteers who came out in the pouring rain to lay wreaths at each grave.

The Wreaths Across America organization “shipped a staggering 1.75 million wreaths to 1,640 locations” that held ceremonies, Robert Gearty writes in Fox News.

The Christmas season is an important time to remember both our veterans and active duty service members—many of whom will be away from their families over the holidays. President Trump has made it a priority to ensure these heroes have the care and support they deserve, recently securing a record $73.1 billion in funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to improve the quality of medical treatment.  

“They do a great job, a really great job,” President Trump told volunteers at Arlington National this weekend. “Thank you.”

12.11.18
Border security is national security
Today, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence met with Democratic leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the Oval Office.
Their dialogue was constructive. The President and the Democrat leaders agreed to support the passage of historic criminal justice reform, and they discussed significant progress with the Farm Bill, which passed in the Senate today. Major disagreement remains, however, on the crucial issue of border security and transparency.
“The wall will get built,” President Trump said. “A lot of the wall is built. It’s been very effective.” The numbers back him up. It’s time for Congress to step up and finish the job.
The Democrats’ priority is clear, however: They would rather keep the U.S. border open to illegal immigrants than keep the Government open to serve American citizens.
Open borders are dangerous. The Department of Homeland Security reports that it stops an average of 10 known or suspected terrorists each day from entering the United States. And despite claiming to support border security, Democrats in practice have blocked all efforts to secure our southern border and protect our communities.

In 2006, when their base was different, Democrats were singing another tune. Back then, party leaders such as Senators Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Schumer himself all voted for the Secure Fences Act. Democrats openly admitted that stronger border security was essential for a safer America.
Democrats did the right thing then. So why won’t they now?
Watch: President Trump hosts Democrat leaders in the Oval Office.
Transcript: The President’s conversation with Sen. Schumer and Rep. Pelosi

Stat of the day: Walls work
Democrats claim America doesn’t need a wall to protect its southern border. Common sense says otherwise—and so do the numbers.
Building walls at key sections of the border caused illegal traffic to drop by 90 percent or more in the years that followed:

• San Diego, CA (built in 1992): Illegal traffic dropped 92 percent over 23 years
• El Paso, TX (built in 1993): Illegal traffic dropped 95 percent in 22 years
• Tucson, AZ (built in 2000): Illegal traffic dropped 90 percent over 15 years
• Yuma, AZ (built in 2005): Illegal traffic dropped 95 percent over 9 years
• Get the facts: Democrat-backed policies have created a border crisis.

​Need Some encouragement about our nation and the transition? 

The election on November 8th was not a work of man, but rather an intervention by Almighty God. Rather than criticizing and complaining, speak words of praise for what God is doing. Renovation, even for a home, is not always pleasant, but focusing on the outcome brings strength and joy.  

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:44-45)


I have this scripture for  our nation:
"Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.
 ... the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say:Praise the Lord of hosts,
For the Lord is good,
For His mercy endures forever--
and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first, says the Lord." (Jeremiah 33:9-11)
Let's rejoice Saints!  Revival is coming!
___________________________________________

 

The election of Donald Trump was and is the launching pad for revival in the United States!

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18

The Vision
While praying on October 20, 2016, I had a vision.
I knew it had to do with the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.
I shared this on the The Library -Tuesday Bible Study - 11.1.16...
 a week before the election. I have copied it here to encourage you.

"I saw the U.S. - as a gigantic land and spiritual mass, being slowly lifted up from the earth. The wicked were angry and extending their arms - trying to grab hold of her - to possess her, to stop her ascent into the air. They could not touch her; they could not grab hold to keep her. They could not stop her ascent when she began to rise. God and His might was lifting her up-higher and higher, and then higher and higher-completely out of their reach!!!

The wicked watched and went into extreme anger and torment as the U.S. went out of their reach. They watched in awe, looking up as the U.S. arose from their grasp, under the power of God. The U.S. will prosper and break out in revival from the west to the east like a flood that NO one can prevent or stop.
 
October 31, 2016
I saw the nation again, rising up under the power of God. This time I noticed that directly underneath the land mass, there was an enormous multitude of praying people with their arms extended upward, lifting the United States as God was working through them."
Saints, continue to pray for our nation. Don't be moved. The best is yet to come! GOD IS WITH US!

"When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him." Proverbs 16:7

 Prayer for President Trump
"Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one,
And said: 'I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one chosen from the people.
I have found My servant David; (Donald Trump)
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
The enemy shall not outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.
But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.'" Psalm 89:19-24

* Fast and pray! (Use a map of the United States.)
