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.
106 Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2 Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the Lord,
Or can show forth all His praise?
3 How blessed are those who keep justice,
Who practice righteousness at all times!
Prayer:
Lord, your economy trades not in money and slaves. Your economy trades in blessing. When I sow justice and what is right, I reap your blessing, in ridiculous multiples of what I sowed. The wicked and greedy bankrupt themselves doing evil. But your children are showered with your blessing for the simplest of acts, a kind word, a blanket on a cold night, a bottle of water on a hot day. Thank you that your plan for me is easy to see and follow, and that you love me without limit.
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.

If history has taught anything, it is God does not take sides in human affairs. If He did, then atrocities would not occur, for those that believe in a kind and living God.
Sometimes the atrocities do not occur because of an individuals walk with God, otherwise everyone would be dead. Because of the answering of prayer, miracles do happen. It is called Faith.
He used to. He doesn’t today. He will again.
History doesn’t teach us a damn thing about God. The King James Bible does.
HUH??? Answer prayers or do miracles??? If you suggest God does not act on either of these two, you’d be wrong.
“Take sides in human affairs.” Should have been more clear. Apologies…
If I had a dime for every time I was told I’m wrong, I’d never need to work another day in my life… 😆
yep… I hear that too and often I’m my own worst enemy… And… I woulda been Elon rich as a teen… lol
Also I wasn’t sure who you were responding to and assumed it was Ginger… so my bad on that too… sigh
You can’t always put this in a logic boat and expect it to float, L…If you know where God is coming from, it makes rational, reasonable sense. If you don’t, you’ll just end up mad at God all the time because things don’t “make sense”…I know, I get mad about some of this stuff myself.
“How blessed are those who keep justice, Who practice righteousness at all times!”
Future Israel.
Ezekiel 36:27 KJB… “And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”
Read the whole chapter. Then look at Acts 2-4…
