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.
43 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;
O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
Prayer:
Lord, our entire nation has become ungodly, and only a small fraction remain who honor your name and your ways. Deceit is practiced from the bottom to the top of our government. But you are on the case, and nothing is hidden from you. You are strong to deliver me and my family, and all who call on your name in our nation, deliver them from deceitful and unjust men. They cannot win, and I ask you to bring victory into my life and situation now, for I lean wholly on your strength.
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.

I have asked God to deliver us from the evil that we have allowed to exist, I think His answer is no. Ya broke it, fix it.
We know for sure the tribulation is coming and it sure looks like the pieces are coming together quickly.Christ is the ONLY answer for this situation.
God is great, may he have mercy on my vile soul.
