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.
8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
Prayer:
Lord, there is a war going on and I AM ANGRY! When I see not just the evil deeds of wicked people but the foolishness of the sheep who follow them, I AM ANGRY! The innocent die at the hands of cowards, human potential is wasted by billions, and the smartest people on the planet are the most heartless. I AM ANGRY about all this. God, help me! My anger accomplishes nothing, but your anger, and righteousness accomplishes all. Cut them off, Lord, now and forever. Teach those who follow you peace and contentment, in spite of the tornado in which we spin.
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.

Thank you.
This country, The united States of America, was created and formed by Men that did NOT turn the other cheek, wait for help or hope for the best. With a firm reliance on divine providence, they kicked ass…..
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition….
Good prayer! I also like this one. I pray it daily:
11 Then Asa called to the Lord his God and said, “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.” 2 Chronicles 14:11
[New International Version]

Astral Weeks loss of innocence.
Foreign Window redemption through suffering.
Sense of Wonder the tree of all knowing has been redemed through the leaves of time.
Amos 5:18 KJB… “Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.”
Judgement will come in Gods time. When it does, you’d better have been obedient to the gospel of Christ.
Romans 6:17-18 KJB… “But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
“That form of doctrine”… that body of information delivered to Paul.
