Stand firm on this passage from God’s word as we do spiritual battle to recover and rebuild our nation and world, and defeat the evil that seeks to destroy us.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with chains
And their nobles with fetters of iron,
9 To execute on them the judgment written;
This is an honor for all His godly ones.
Praise the Lord!
Prayer:
Lord, I praise you, and you alone are worthy of worship. No man or created thing is worthy, only you our creator. Your joy is my strength. My two-edged sword is your word, spoken and powerful, cutting to the boundary of joints and marrow, soul and spirit. I proclaim your truth and watch the evil shriek and cower before your power, binding the perpetrators of unspekable evil. Your judgment has been written of old; execute it swiftly today. My honor is to serve you, your Kindom and principles. You are worthy of all praise and glory!
We engage in spiritual warfare by first consulting the scriptures to learn what God thinks about himself, about us, our situation, and his adversaries, and what he is doing today and is planning to do. We come into agreement with what God thinks, and his plan, and ask him to do battle on our behalf in the ways he has stated. These prayers are intended to change situations in our natural world, but they also change our hearts as we come to know the heart of God. As we pray together to defeat the forces of evil, we become a closer knit family of God, intent on accomplishing his purposes and living in Christian community. Please join in this spiritual battle by praying the scripture above, out loud, confident that God hears us and loves us, his children.
The prayer above is only a suggestion. Pray as you are led by the spirit. No need for eloquence as our Father simply loves to hear the voices of his children as we bare our hearts to him.

“Your judgment has been written of old; execute it swiftly today.”
Father, though we sometimes grow weary with the trials of this world, I ask that your longsuffering grace may continue still. Please do not execute your judgement upon this world just yet. There are people that need to learn of your saving grace and that is the reason you’ve left us here. Help me to continue to share your Son’s gospel according to the Apostle you sent to believers today.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB… “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
Where is God? What is He doing today? Good questions to ask if we want to be working within Gods will for man. Best I’ve heard in a while. Funny too… 😊
Grace and peace…
I notice you skipped the beginning of that psalm that points out it is Israel doing the singing and dancing, the children of Zion.
Vengeance on the nations, peoples. Isn’t that the same as calling us Gentiles?
Spiritual warfare is for the emasculated.
