Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I will never understand why these “anonymous” people just use their names cause “anonymous” doesn’t mean anything can be used.
dilonsfo
I don’t like anonymous names either but I can explain, in one word, why they are used. Repercussions.
I note your name and I am posting this comment under my real name. I love irony.
That is my name
I am posting this under your comment in the hope that is not a people as possible will see it. The article to which I link demonstrates that the Democrats are trying to steal the election. It is time to FACE UP TO THE FRAUD. THE LAWS OF STATISTICS ARE YOUR FRIEND. FOLLOW THE SCIENCE.
EXCERPT FROM THE LINKED ARTICLE (which everyone who cares should read. And spread. An acknowledgement of what the statistics tell us will prevent the election from being stolen if Scotus does its job and Legislatures in PA, GA, WI, and perhaps AZ, act. They should not confirm fraudulent results.
Joe Biden with almost record low enthusiasm, underperformed across many major cities compared to Hillary Clinton in 2016. In New York City, Chicago, and Miami, he was down 201,408, 260,835, and 6,945 respectively.
However, in the states Biden needed to overtake Trump in 2020, he gained massively. According to the Associated Press vote total data, in Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh, he was up 76,518, 67,630, 28,429, and 29,150 respectively. [ Editing required. 3 cities and 4 stats. Is Detroit missing? ]

Yes.
They are standing there saying we are stealing this election, we are cheating.
What are you going to do about it.
Yeah and, we see them doing that across the board. Gen Flynn, Hunter and Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton…….etc.
For me it’s ‘anyway you have to do this just get it done.’ We have rule of law on all our sides so just do whatever it takes. Who cares what they do? Military, federal marshals, deputies from the private sector, mercenaries, whatever.
Pale rider, I know it is none of my business, but I just wanted to let you know that I took note of some difficulty that you had in the comments elsewhere and I wanted to tell you that I agree with you, respect you and support you. Screw the ankle biters. I had the same experience as well, so I understand it, believe me. It’s why I no longer comment there, although I still read.
You helped me out one day by posting a wonderful verse for me. You have a lot to contribute, so keep on being who you are. Your decency shines through.
This same system was used in the fraudulent 2018 midterms to get certain people elected to give us exactly what we are living right now.
This exact same election stealing was also used in the midterms to get their progressive (lazy communist) leaders in place for what we are dealing with now.

Double on the praying part!
Grace And Peace
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
For many years this writer, along with the mass of religious people, supposed that the Bible phrase “grace and peace be unto you” was simply a beautiful, spiritual salutation. Thank God we have come to learn that it is much more than a salutation. It is an official proclamation.
Every single one of the epistles signed by St. Paul opens with the declaration: “Grace be unto you and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” This was the theme of the message which he, as a duly appointed ambassador, had been sent to proclaim.
To appreciate this fully we must remember that God had declared in prophecy that He would reply to the world’s rejection of Christ with judgment. Psa. 110:1 pictures the Father saying to the Son: “Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.” Psa. 2:5 declares: “Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.”
After the crucifixion and ascension of Christ it seemed that all was ready for the judgment to fall. As the signs of Pentecost appeared Peter declared: “This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel” (Acts 2:16) and it did indeed look as if the rejected Lord was about to return to “judge and make war,” as Rev. 19:11 puts it. But now, instead of judgment and war, St. Paul proclaims grace and peace. Does this not indicate that in grace God interrupted the prophetic program to bring in the present dispensation under which God’s ambassadors proclaim with Paul:
“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound; that as sin hath reigned… so might grace reign” (Rom. 5:20,21).
Indeed, Paul the former persecutor was himself the living demonstration of God’s grace to a Christ-rejecting world. In I Tim. 1:15,16 he declares:
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
“Howbeit, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting.”
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/grace-and-peace/
Psalm 110:1 <> The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Psalm 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
“After the crucifixion and ascension of Christ it seemed that all was ready for the judgment to fall. As the signs of Pentecost appeared Peter declared: “This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel” (Acts 2:16) and it did indeed look as if the rejected Lord was about to return to “judge and make war,” as Rev. 19:11 puts it. But now, instead of judgment and war, St. Paul proclaims grace and peace. Does this not indicate that in grace God interrupted the prophetic program to bring in the present dispensation under which God’s ambassadors proclaim with Paul”
In Luke 4, Jesus was spoken of as “full of the Holy Spirit” and “led by the Spirit into the wilderness” (verse 1), “being tempted forty days by the devil” (verse 2). Afterwards, “Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee” (verse 14). Per Luke 4:16-19: “And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and according to His custom, He entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, and stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him, and having unrolled the scroll, He found the place where it was written:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because of which He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth in deliverance the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.””
Luke 4:20-21 indicates what followed: “And having rolled up the scroll, having delivered it to the attendant, He sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.””
Looking at Isaiah 61:1-2, the part about proclaiming the year of the LORD’s favor does not appear to abruptly end there, but has an addition: “to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn”. The verses that follow appear to point to future events that parallel what will start to be fulfilled when Christ returns.
In Acts 2 at Pentecost, it was now the apostles who had the specification that “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit” (verse 4). They had been told by Jesus to wait until that occurred in answer to their inquiry as to when He was going to restore the kingdom to Israel (cf. Acts 1:6-8). What an inspired Peter quoted from the book of Joel was a portion of prophecy evidently relevant to the moment that was being fulfilled, rather than portions elsewhere in the book that were related to prophecies concerning judgment and different events.
As with Acts 2, subsequent acts of the apostles were often marked with being filled with the Holy Spirit (cf. Acts 4:8, 31) and sharing the word of God while grace was evident: “And with great power, the apostles were giving testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all” (Acts 4:33).
Having been directed by the Holy Spirit to share with Gentiles, Peter spoke amongst other things of “the gospel, peace by Jesus Christ”, per Acts 10:34-36: “And Peter, having opened the mouth, said, “Of a truth I understand that God is not One who shows partiality, but in every nation, the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him, but word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the gospel, peace by Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all.” Peter indicated in Acts 10:42 that this peace is needed before the currently-forestalled judgment arrives: “And He instructed us to proclaim to the people and to testify fully that He is the One having been appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.”
For what it’s worth, one doesn’t see the terms ‘grace’ and ‘peace’ specified in Paul’s accounts of His conversion and accompanying commission (cf. Acts 9, 22, 26), though the concepts of course surfaced as they had with the other apostles (cf. Acts. 15:11). Verses to the effect of specifying Paul alone as the initial source of information that judgment was interrupted to make way for grace and peace appear elusive. Instead, that concept must make room for what was already forecast, indicated, and preached along those lines in the Gospel accounts, in the Acts of the Apostles including Pentecost, and the letters of John and Peter wishing grace and peace for the readers.
That all of the ministries evidently moved towards highlighting the point — God forestalled judgment so that men could be saved by grace though faith in Jesus Christ — is a welcome revelation, especially for a world desperate for the grace and peace that Christ offers. As Jesus told his disciples in John 16:33: “I have spoken these things to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world.”
Well this brings back memories . . . Sitting on the floor of a darkened room which was lit by a single candle. The room was filled with a distinctive aroma of a decidedly illegal (for those times anyway) consciousness altering herb. My friends and I spend a gently consciousness altered evening listening the the new Quicksilver album.

Typical DNC: Do as I say; not as I do…
Heard something and decided to jump…!
There is a “social media” page called: “GAB.COM” ….
It claims no censorship….a ton of folks are joining it right now…. I did.
Most are saying something about being sick of FB and their sensorship stick…
I have no FB account to give up….I never joined that hive…
They say/post that DJT posts over there….I saw some “quotes” that confirmed that…
When I joined, I asked if any “Treeper’s” were there….and, what about a CTH group….??
I got 3 “likes” within the first hour… So::::::
I’lm going to go thru their hoops, upgrade with money donation, and start such a group as soon as I can manage after my Chemo treatment in the morning….figure it might be Tuesday before I feel like fighting their system….
I “stepped out” to another small social page with “location security” a few years back, called:
UNSEEN.IS which was based in/on Iceland with their servers…stiff encrypt….VPN… etc.
They just “shut down” operations last month….not enough users to pay the bills… I hope this one manages to last long enough so more members will join and support…blasting FB into financial hell if possible along the way…
I have managed to keep the same “name” over there…. MontanaMel …

Chemo! Best of luck! Puts my little problem into perspective. God Bless.
Montanamel – May Almighty God in Heaven diminish greatly any and all side effects from your chemo. He has for me and continues to do so. May He give you strength and energy to do all that needs to be done in your daily life. We give Him all the praise and Glory. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Ephesians 3:20-21: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Have a great day!
Prayers and thoughts with you Montanamel.
Chemo is its own kind of hell on earth so will keep you in my thoughts.
Those of us that have been through that kind of fire are tough fighters and do not give up, the best kind to have Pres Trumps back!
I like the data and I think its very helpful. But I’ve come to the conclusion it will take the hand of God to rectify the nation. I honestly don’t understand the hate and the disinformation on the other side but its ugly and so many are so vindictive. They will not accept plain evidence or common sense or even a court order. Or truth…The big difference is we love God and they don’t, in fact for many of them its quite the opposite. They make themselves their own god so they are blind.. I believe a good many are practicing occultists although they may or may not call it that. I say all this because I’m related to some of these people and this is what I see.
This is a mighty earthly
war but even a mightier spiritual war. We must pray for God’s mercy, intercession and guidance and do all we humanly can as well. We can’t win this without Him.

Makes one wonder just who could be against such accomplishments that have so benefited the free world. Fear not. ‘Recognizing the corporate’ [united as one group of persons] economic power available to us, under God, will keep the Government of, by and for the People firmly under our thumbs.
Evil led by satan.
I feel like many people are forgetting that President Trump is the reason why the Patriot Act remains expired even today.
Both the GOP and Democrats in Congress wanted to renew the Patriot Act but Trump threatened a veto, causing the Patriot Act to become expired.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act
On March 10, 2020, Jerry Nadler proposed a bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and it was then approved the majority of US House of Representatives after 152 Democrats joined the GOP in supporting the extension.
The surveillance powers of the Patriot Act needed renewal by March 15, 2020,and after it expired, the U.S. Senate approved an amended version of the bill.
After President Donald Trump threatened to veto the bill, the House of Representatives issued an indefinite postponement of the vote to pass the Senate version of the bill; as of June 2020, the Patriot Act remains expired.
He absolutely is. Keep standing with him praying that God will Bless, protect and show favor to President Trump and our first family.

Berlin Wall
9th of November 1989
In my nearly 12 years of active duty I spent nearly 4 years in Germany during the cold war. I saw Berlin. I saw the wall. I stood and watched from Brandenburg Gate as the Soviets changed the guard at their memorial.
I and my team passed the marked border between east and west Germany east of Archfeld and hid and observed a portion of the Iron curtain with it’s guard towers, double row of fence, with human and canine and helicopter patrols for five days. Five days working from hide sites we constructed in the winter. And at the end, just before we left, we walked out in the open kill zone in front of us and their guards were treated to the moons of an SF “A” team.
That bout of training was not over yet though. We would break into two man teams and practice unassisted evasion back to Bad Tolz with the Bundestpolitzi and all public transport authorities looking for us.
But before we started that cold task a bit of a rest was in order. So Mr. “G”, our SF warrant officer, arranged for us to stay at a family owned German dairy farm. Their facilities were in the shape of a quadrangle. Their house on one side, next side at the corner had the feed for the cattle including a small room full of turnips then down that same side were the milking stations. The side opposing the housing was where some hay and the farm equipment was kept. Then the next shorter side that allowed for an opening into the quadrangle opposing the milking stations had food storage, a slaughter room, and then a room for baking bread. They baked their own bread and I suppose other goodies once a week.
They fired up the bread oven for warmth and put us up in that baking room. The Frau of the house brought us a big pot of a spicy kind of warm grog that was much appreciated. The next day we helped the farmer with his various tasks and that evening were invited to dinner at the family table.
There were four generations living in that home. The farm had been in the family for about 500 years.
Later that night in rolled a duce and a half and we climbed in. We were dropped off in pairs and it was up to us to figure out where we were using our maps and get back to Fling Kasserne in Bad Tolz without getting caught. We left our rucksack and weapons, except our knives, in the truck. That left us with the cold weather gear upon our backs, our load bearing equipment including our individual “bug out kits” which were our individual survival kits, and a card with contact information on it in case the authorities caught us or there was some real emergency. It was freezing.
The truck drove quite a distance towards Bad Tolz before they started dropping us off at different cross roads or villages. All of us were dropped off within 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) of Bad Tolz, though we didn’t know that until we figured out where we were.
Navigation was done by dead reckoning by map, compass, and terrain association.
This was in the days before GPS. We all made it back without being caught.
I ate one of the biggest meals of my life after I got back.
I remember that type of training. Congrats on your success!

Little help here ? I have been checking a thesaurus, but I can’t find the word I am looking for.
It means that you only READ the comments, but you do not actually make any comments.
It seems like it is something like leech, or lurch.
In Internet culture, a lurker is typically a member of an online community or PLN (Personal Learning Network) who observes, but does not participate.The exact definition depends on context.
Lurkers make up a large proportion of all users in online communities. Lurking allows users to learn the conventions of an online community before they participate, improving their socialization when they eventually “de-lurk”. However, a lack of social contact while lurking sometimes causes loneliness or apathy among lurkers.
Lurkers are referred to using many names, including browsers, read-only participants, non-public participants, legitimate peripheral participants, or vicarious learners.

Thanks, Good Buddy. This reminds me of all of the times that I have looked for a video on YouTube. I know the EXACT Title of the video, but I can’t find it no matter how long I look. Once I have the link ( the URL ), then I know that Google was just trying to hide it from me.
So after you reminded me what the word was, I went back to the Thesaurus to see what went wrong. The Thesaurus that I was using doesn’t know what the word “lurker” means.

Great article, as usual, by Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness. Describes the three levels of never-Trumpers and us deplorable patriots. The never-Trumpers could turn out to be like Fox News, with no allies on either side, which would work very well in eliminating the virtual signalers if we are successful in defeating the rampant leftist fraud and DJT keeps his rightful place.

Strange doings? When I clicked on the link, I immediately got a “page not found” msg. However, the site was showing, and by using the tabs at the top, could view anything on there.
Looks like another “overeducated idiot” took it upon himself to play games!
In my morning prayer I have included the question Abraham asked when advocating for Sodom and Gomorah. Would God sacrifice 10 righteous men to punish the unrighteous? I asked God would he punish 72,000,000 to punish the rest of America? I know the 72,000,000 are not all righteous, but at least they did exhibit some love. Love of country, family, liberty, or Trump. The left has no love at all. Only hate. I humbly ask others to pray this also.
Pretty sure that every OTHER prophet’s intercessory prayers are quite different in that they all ACKNOWLEDGE the sins of the people when asking for God’s mercy.
In fact…every other prophet EVEN takes responsibility for the sins of their people upon themselves – EXACTLY AS JESUS CHRIST DID FOR US ON THE CROSS.
I know it angers a lot of people, but I can’t help it: our stubborn and selfish refusal to ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SINS when we ask for His mercy is a HUGE mistake that Americans keep repeating in these ‘internet prayers.’
If we refuse to acknowledge our sins, HOW CAN WE REPENT OF THEM?
The FORERUNNER – John the Baptist – preached WHAT?
REPENTANCE!
What did Jesus Christ Himself preach?
REPENTANCE!
At the end of Peter’s sermon in Acts, when the crowd asks “what must we do to be saved?” WHAT WAS HIS ANSWER?
REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED!
(note the order – repentance comes FIRST.)
Even Paul said that he was the chief of sinners….
Yet EVERY DAY I read ‘internet prayers’ where people treat GOD HIMSELF as though He were a genie, there merely to grant our EARTHLY wishes….
Maybe we should all try to repeat the Jesus Prayer a few times a day:
“Oh Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
Yes.

SACRAMENTAL SERVICE
“Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ…” Col. i. 24
The Christian worker has to be a sacramental “go-between,” to be so identified with his Lord and the reality of His Redemption that He can continually bring His creating life through him. It is not the strength of one man’s personality being superimposed on another, but the real presence of Christ coming through the elements of the worker’s life. When we preach the historic facts of the life and death of Our Lord as they are conveyed in the New Testament, our words are made sacramental, God uses them on the ground of His Redemption to create in those who listen that which is not created otherwise. If we preach the effects of Redemption in human life instead of the revelation regarding Jesus, the result in those who listen is not new birth, but refined spiritual culture, and the Spirit of God cannot witness to it because such preaching is in another domain. We have to see that we are in such living sympathy with God that as we proclaim His truth He can create in souls the things which He alone can do.
What a wonderful personality! What a fascinating man! Such marvelous insight! What chance has the Gospel of God through all that? It cannot get through, because the line of attraction is always the line of appeal. If a man attracts by his personality, his appeal is along that line; if he is identified with his Lord’s personality, then the appeal is along the line of what Jesus Christ can do. The danger is to glory in men; Jesus says we are to lift HIM up.

Optics – persuasion of the “fence sitters” – winning the Court of Public Opinion
Fellow treepers – Rudy will use the Civil Rights laws as part of the lawsuits. This will help our optics – people “on the fence” can often be persuaded when the case is couched in terms of “Civil Rights”
And this is, in fact, a Civil Rights issue.

Hello Folks.
I have an odd paragraph spacing problem with WordPress. It’s time I fix it, so I am using this space to do so.
I’m going to start here and see how it goes.
https://www.fionarobertsongraphics.co.uk/websites/paragraph-spacing/
This is what usually happens. I type a paragraph and it looks fine as I am typing it.
It looks fine when I am finished. But then when I “post comment” it comes out hinky.
Perhaps mischievous Leprechauns have infested my computer. Perhaps it is demon
infested and I need a Catholic priest with holy water to drive out the demon. But
I am going to go with Occam’s razor and start with the assumption that it is because
of natural causes.
I don’t know what to say so I am going to write stream of consciousness/gibberish
that has no meaning whatsoever. If you think it HAS meaning, you are wrong. I guess
I can’t stop you from searching for a hidden code, if that’s the type of thing you are into.
Who am I to judge?
Uh. I was saddened when I heard Eddie Van Halen had passed away. I still think
the David Lee Roth era was better than the Sammie Hager era. Uh. Now I can’t
think of anything to say. My mind is a blank. Hmm. I am kind of hungry but not
overly so. should I eat something now or later? I don’t know I haven’t decided.
OK. that should be enough for a baseline start. Everything I am looking at is
separated into orderly paragraphs. Let’s see if the usual thing happens when I post this.
same as usual. I have to leave the house and run a few errand. But….
I am back as promised. Let me try using wordpress reader instead of the CTH site:

Mike:
Copy/paste what you typed above that didn’t format correctly into MS-Word and turn on the Show/Hide feature to see what’s making your paragraphs break. Sometimes you’ll see little circles or a little arrow pointing to the left with it’s right end 90 degree angled downwards. I delete any circles and insert a space using the space bar (i.e., will show as a mid dot); I remove the arrows and use the enter key to insert a paragraph mark.
I like to type longer comments into a Word doc first and turn on the Show/Hide feature to review formatting before posting here at CTH.
Of note, for bold and italics, you will have to type the code out within your word doc for it to display correctly here at CTH (i.e., you can’t just click on the B or I in MS-Word and have it show up that way here).

Of note, Romano has a typo so look at the screenshots he provided for the correct way to type out Bold and Italics codes:

Of note, I don’t use Word Press to post here. If my comment is going to be relatively short, I either click on the reply button [to respond directly to a comment] or I go to the bottom of the thread and enter whatever I want to share at the “Leave a Reply” box.
I hope this helps. Maybe someone can help explain things better.
To Joe, woe to opressive leaders..
woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet the fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Therefore thus said the Lord; behold, against this family do i devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; for this time is evil..

Saint Prócla, or Claudia Procula
She was the wife of Pontius Pilate. The Lord appeared to her in a dream. (See the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew 27: 19.) She later became a disciple of Christ, was Baptized, suffered greatly for the name of Christ, but finally entered into rest peacefully.
Saint Prócla is among the Saints who are commemorated today, October 26th on the traditional Calendar of the Orthodox Christian Church and November 9th on the civil calendar.
Saint Prócla, pray for us!
Rush Limbaugh just said he’s going back into treatment this week. When he said it, his voice sounded scared. He said something about coming back afterwards but it didn’t sound like he was convinced.
Please, God, care for Rush Limbaugh, according to your will. Please bring him through the cancer if it be consistent with your will do do so.
He made the announcement again just now and again the voice wavered a bit.
Is the Treehouse or any of you on Parler? I’m looking for places to follow on Parler. I’m leaving Facebook and never did Twitter.
Thanks friends.
Richard: I found this article which might help. I’m not sure how you find out who all is using it, but at least some names are listed in this article.

Richard, you don’t have to subscribe to Twitter to follow Tweeters.
Just bookmark a Twitter user to whatever folder you create and add to the bookmarks bar; then click on whichever Twitter acct you want to see.
For example: https://twitter.com/MilionMagaMarch (I have that saved to my News folder on the bookmarks bar.)
Hope this helps.
Is there a website where I can get the number of viewers for Fox, CNN, MSNBC daily?
Blue Wildflower: Not sure if these will be helpful or not.

No words.
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen.
A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen
Amen.
