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 †

This seems an appropriate place to leave this. Everyone knows the beginning, but there is more.
THE SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the path to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen
Here’s what we’ve been doing by the grace of God and by His direction:
We have renovated our house (dedicated to God) to be able to help those in need that He sends in our direction. Those needing help in the last hours…someone needs to be there for them as they cry out to God for help!

The government overreach is getting out of control, so I thought it would be prudent to reaffirm the actual contract the government has with us.
Just to be clear, our government has invalidated itself by abrogating its duties and for subjugating us, meaning we currently do not have one and instead we have a bunch of criminals masquerading as our government.
The time to act to resolve this conflict is now.
griever,
I believe most of us here understand and embrace the facts of your post.
We pray. We vote. We produce income. We try to be influential primarily in our family, but also in our community. We each have different talents. We are patriotic.
When the unfurling of the evils behind the stolen elections became fully evident to me back in January, I nearly came unglued. The rape! The rape of America. Right before my eyes.
I spewed profanities like my family and friends and enemies never heard. I cursed while praying. I horrified some fellow Christians. My wife never experienced me in a three week period of rage and unrestraint. She lovingly gave me space…what a blessing she is. She kept me distant from our employees, family, customers. I’m a fairly gregarious guy, fairly quiet. You would not believe the sh..storms I contemplated as I sized up my capabilities and resources.
But God.
But God began to soften my heart. Especially as we helped families in our area during last Winter’s freeze and grid issues.
I took time to think. Pray. Plan. I spent extended time reading/studying Scripture. The Lord caused me to change my attitudes and behaviors and to formulate fresh plans.
Your last sentence is what, I gently ask? A battle cry? An indictment? An ode to our unpatriotic inaction?
It’s not an A-Z guideline or action plan the grassroots can implement. Please splain’.
The guv controls:
Food and it’s distribution. Communications. Utilities. Infrastructure. Media. Medical/Pharma. Crooked DOJ. A standing military,etc.
In a nutshell here’s what I’ve done/am doing:
?I’ve selected six families in my area to protect.
?Prepping and helping others prep.
?Actively being the best neighbor on earth.
?I’m purposely avoiding local politics and school boards because I know my limitations and trigger points…I don’t want to limit my influence by collapsing hyoid bones in a public forum…not my strongpoint. I’m in a red state and county anyway.
?Like Rush, I REFUSE to participate in this “recession” so I’m launching a third business.
?✝️ I identify as a Christian so I’m getting the gospel out more Romans 1:16.
Input from Treepers is welcome ??
I so totally agree with you Frank! The anger levels are in the red so much so that I can only read headlines to stay up with current events. We ‘know’ that it starts at the top…between God and Satan. The war in the heavens then displayed here on earth and we humans are the chess pieces. Are we the black pieces or are we the white pieces? Do we serve God or Satan?
Most of my frustrations are directed at the Republican side of the Uniparty. Where is the outrage… the demands to uphold this country’s Constitution? Where are the GOP REPUBLICANS? And I address this to all of the Republican party! We can’t stand and fight because the party that’s suppose to back us up is MIA!
Here’s what we’ve been doing by the grace of God and by His direction:
We have renovated our house (dedicated to God) to be able to help those in need that He sends in our direction. Those needing help in the last hours…someone needs to be there for them as they cry out to God for help!
I pray for mercy…and patience…waiting…for Heaven to win the war!
When we are already stressed out by everyday events, and desire to be clear in our own thinking and decisions, it adds to the angst when responses are over-simplified along the lines of either get fight back or trust God. In the light of Scripture and the dealings of God with humanity over millenia, that is a false choice. What you share here juststevie, reflects the in-the-moment choice to do both.
David did not use precisely the same response to his enemies all the time: sometimes he killed them, sometimes he prayed against them, sometimes he refused to engage with them.
Paul did not use the same response every time: sometimes he very nearly volunteered for prison, anoather time he hopped in the basket, went over the wall, and ran for his life.
Jesus, the Christ, did not use identical responses: sometimes He disappeared into the crowd and “they could not find him”; another time he rebuked His friend Peter who had removed the ear of one of Jesus’ enemies and then Jesus restored the ear to its proper place on the side of His enemy’s head, and quietly accepted His own arrest.
Our survival instinct prefers the simple either/or solutions when the living sacrifice response is not so simplistic.
So, as you share that you are intending to do, we draw our own spirit down to think the thing through. We can take delineate between our aspirations for our nation’s survival and how to deal with our own weaknesses in the middle of the mess. It’s not so simple as just getting mad or just being passive. It never has been that simple, and anyone who acts like it is has other issues, as well as predictable consequences.
I try not to comment much any more because of my own imbalances. I usually end up choosing not to post my “replies” because I see my own anger and projection spilling out, neither of which usually contribute much to conversation….and sometimes I started responding to someone has not contributed to the conversation either but has made angry and lopsided arguments or even said something that is not true in order to make their point…..and then I cancel my reply because I can slip into exactly the same error.
Resting into the present and powerful grace that is available can stabilize me in the middle of the mess to the extent that I seek and welcome it. Thank you for this conversation.
It’s a thing to recognize our cutoff point, where the better part of valour is to withdraw from the battlefield”, so to speak.
Good for the soul to fall back and regroup. I have found that to be true for myself.
An incredibly honest, thoughtful post and well said.
juststevie,
The Trump years passed in a flash because we were winning again as a sovereign nation. The worst headlines always seemed to have nuggets or chunks of good news hidden within the giant media spin.
I know how American history ends. After all, it’s His story, and it’s found in the pages of Scripture. I therefore do not despair.
I have responsibilities to God, family, community, my nation. That’s the rub.
I am/we are blessed finding ourselves citizens of America through no merit of my/our own. I was born here. America is in peril. Right now.
The brave and intelligent founders understood the bents in the hearts of mankind. The separation of powers found in our system proves that.
My response to griever this morning was spawned out of a concern that we not only point out bad stuff, but also come up with doable action plans that result in the preservation of our freedoms. We need each other here.
In my groups, I have been the catalyst to help start serious conversations resulting in commitments to take actions for our mutual well being when/if various scenarios arise. My desire is to see others do so…like you…locally.
I’m not trying to virtue signal. I’ve left plenty of good undone and have plenty to answer for, for wrongs done.
I think we should all act locally to help bring about change and protect those in our charge. There’s plenty of needs in each county! If our talents and desires and our resources allow us to perform other functions regionally or nationally…great.
At this point in our world it’s more important to fix the problems than it is to point them out.
May God grant us the wisdom and grit to be fixers.
Thank you for your post. ?✝️????
Catherine Austin Fitts is in agreement with you…completely.
But God indeed, Frank. And from Him came the seeds of your most generous and forward thinking plans.
I’ve finally recognized that however much I pray and hope these precarious times will be righted, I cannot make it happen. What I can do is take care of my patch, where God Himself has placed me, and be here for those who need or will need assistance when, not if, things go south (more south than they have done). Our resources are not as extensive, but what we have is more than so many others possess.
It is obvious to me that you have been divinely inspired and have acted upon it. We can’t wait for events to take a hard right. The best we can do is do the best we can where we are, our part of the spiritual jigsaw.
Long ago my eyes were opened, and I started to be more forward thinking, trying as best as I could to see around the corners that I knew were coming, planning as best as I could for eventualities that might or might not happen. That mindset has served me well.
But we are in God’s merciful Hands and always have been. Lucky the families, should it come to it, that have you in their world ready to help. You sound as if you have a measure of peace. There is no price which can be put on that. God bless you and all whom you love.
I’ll add this one last thing. I have a friend in the UK who was horribly abused when he was a child. He is now 72 and has been seeking peace all his life. He travels to Assis every year for a sort of sabbatical and that has given him some.
He described a statue there of St Francis on his horse, both their heads bowed. And the inscription at the base of it in Italian translates as “Lord, what would you have me do?”
If we start with that question in our own lives, I believe God will answer, perhaps in ways we have never considered. So I do start there and am convinced I will be shown.
To Frank, juststevie, Sharon, & Betsy – Wow, this is an incredible discussion to read and absorb. If I find some words or wisdom worth contributing I will do so, but in the meantime yours have given me a lot to ponder.
I will just say that the introspection in your words – and the wisdom that springs from that well – have never been as rare in our world as they are right now, nor have they been more important. Both are gravely needed in order to steer our ship – lost at sea and tumbling toward a hurricane – toward a future worth living in.
Bravo
I think of all of us who contribute here regularly as family, with its members spread near and far. There is something about this site that attracts like thinking people.
It is a joy, in the midst of all that I’d describe as unholy, to come here and unload, share, contribute, draw inspiration from others, commiserate with other’s problems and losses, and support with prayer and kind words those who need them and who feel safe from the internet muck that is so prevalent elsewhere.
Your comments, griever, are always thoughtful, and I look forward to seeing your posts. And thank you to Sundance, Menagerie, Stella, Ad rem, Weeweed, and all those who keep a watchful eye on our
bless-ed welcoming home here, the sole site on which I leave comments.
Thank YOU griever for starting the thread! Keep posting as you always do…I look for your thoughts on current events! ?
Yes indeed! ?✝️????
Yes beloved Betsy you must take care of your patch. You have. You yet still will.
Thanks for your post
You are most welcome, Frank. An uplifting day of conversation and camaraderie. There is nothing better. Blessings.
Well done, Frank. I agree with many of your well-stated points, but suggest a slightly different perspective. Gandhi is my guide to a campaign of passive resistance. I am in awe of the man’s simple acts of confronting injustice, and allowing the confrontation to be his strongest (and effective) weapon.
In the context of today’s injustice – a blatant attempt to overcome ‘right’ with ‘might’ – – bastardizing law by re-inventing its’ definitions, such as “vaccine”. “Vaccination”, “immunity”, “Illegal alien”, “subversion”, “riot”, “insurrection” freedom-of-speech, freedom to congregate, “peaceful protest” and virtually every other article of Constitutional law, we face some problems unknown to Mahatma Gandhi. As the Marxists destroy our monuments, rant about a ‘nation of racists’, and otherwise work to provoke an excuse for the cabbage to declare martial law, we all must work to deny them any plausible excuse to do so.
At the same time, we must recognize there is a point at which world opinion will side with sanity and cheer when self-government is defended against tyranny by latter-day patriots. Today, that effort must be through the courts.
I’ve heard many opinions regarding when the Republic was put in serious jeopardy – – creation of the FED, creation of Soc. Security, Deserting the gold standard, the election of barack obama – -. I believe it was with the rise of Antonio Gramsci, who rejected the strategy of promoting Communism through armed insurrection, and suggested a framework built on subversion – – – it has proven enduring (and effective). Today, wherever we see Marxism raise its’ ugly head, there is a person in a position of political ‘responsibility’ standing guard to allow the destruction of Constitutional law to continue. Such an organized, well-crafted assault on Constitutional law will not be quickly or easily overcome. It is OUR turn to be cautious, to plan, and to pick our leaders wisely.
Some are in a position to object more strongly. Those who are retired can’t be threatened by loss of employment. Those who have a carefully considered plan for self-sufficiency, will be in a position to defend the right of ‘Free speech’ more effectively, without fear of reprisal, but it is very likely we will go through a very difficult time, where passive resistance will not be sufficient to answer tyranny. We must all do whatever we can to ‘protect and defend’ our Constitution – – demand every member of Congress, Federal Judge, and member of the military who has sworn to do the same honors their oath! Above all, stay alert for fearless leaders to demand adherence to Constitutional Law – Representative Jim Jordan Senator Rand Paul, and Governor Ron De Santis – – support them and follow their lead.
To those who consider the sacrifice too great, re-watch Mel Gibson deal with the injustices that gave us our Great Republic – – that laid the foundation for “The Great Experiment” in self-government that gave us the life we enjoy. Have another look at “The Patriot”. What is it worth to give your great, great grandchildren, what the founding Patriots gave you – –
Welcome to the Treehouse! 😀
OneLittlePrimate,
In short:
I have not advocated for violent insurrection but rather, activities centered primarily at the local grassroots level.
Hopefully these dark days will bring our communities closer as pressures increase.
I love Jordan and DeSantis. I appreciate Paul very much.
Thanks much for your post…lots to think about ?
Well stated, Griever. As I reflect over this past twelve months, I have reached the conclusion that no one in our government was duly elected. They are ALL “selected”, right down to our local communities. Potentially no one in my lifetime was lawfully elected.
They are all in their positions unlawfully. So we must treat them as imposters/traitors/ criminals and work diligently to remove them.
I desperately pray for His wisdom and His strategy to do just that.
We must seek to tear down, root out, throw down, then build and plant as the Lord instructed Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:10).
The desire to see the Manifest Destiny of America burns deep inside my heart and soul. The words of our Founders resonates through my spirit.
I do see the giants in the land but I see as Joshua and Caleb saw…”we are well able to take the land”.
Thinking of “today”, thinking of “now”:
2 Cor. 6:2 (cf. Isaiah 49:8)
“For He says: “In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Isaiah 55:6-7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.”
Hebrews 3:15a (cf. Psalms 95:7-8)
“As it has been said: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts…”
Revelation 22:17 (cf. Isaiah 55:1)
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.”
—
Thinking of why:
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.”
—
Thinking of how:
Luke 18:13
“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’”
James 4:8a
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
John 6:28-29
“Therefore they said to Him, “What must we do, that we may be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.””
Mark 9:24b
“‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.'”
Acts 16:30-31
“Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.””

Love these old simple “documentary” shorts that used to sometimes be shown before feature films or even before the cartoons that were shown before the marquee film in the Saturday matinee at the local theater.
Used to ride my bike (late 1950s) about 8 county blocks up the road from my house into the village and park it outside the movie theater (along with dozens of other bikes, no locks required – kids didn’t steak bikes in our village). Had 75 cents in my pocket from cutting lawns. So 25 cents for admission, and 50 cents got a large soda and large bag of popcorn. That was good for 3 hours of entertainment. The cool thing about going home afterwards, it was all downhill.
Oh, and if the movie was something we’d seen or were not interested in, my friends and I’d go downstairs under the theater where they had 10 lanes of duckpins (with pin boys, not automatic pinsetters)….. 35 cents got you shoes and 3 games. What a deal.
Cool!
Oh the days when we paid no tax and thought the guv had our backs.
Those days are gone!
Great post
Hey! I actually enjoyed that.
Jealous of that $.34 gas per gallon?

WAKE, AWAKE, FOR NIGHT IS FLYING
The words and music for this hymn were composed by Phillipp Nicolai (1556-1608), who based his text on the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids.
Many composers have used Nicolai’s work as the basis for pieces that offer more showy performances. Today, about the only place you will find the original is in church hymnals. The linked video, from a church service, includes the words to the hymn.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
— Matthew 25: 1-13, KJV

NATIONAL FAST FOOD DAY – NOVEMBER 16
First popularized in the United States in the 1950s, fast food is considered any meal with low preparation time and served to a customer in a packaged form.
The United States hosts the largest fast food industry in the world.
NATIONAL INDIANA DAY
On November 16th, National Indiana Day revs up its engines for the state that’s the home of the Indy 500 and Hoosier hospitality, too.
Indiana was the 19th state to enter the Union. James Monroe had just defeated Rufus King in the 1816 presidential race to become the 5th President of the United States. The second state to enter the Union from the Northwest Territory, Indiana grew rapidly.
In 2017, National Day Calendar® began celebrating each state in the order they entered the union starting the week of Independence Day and ending with Hawaii. We highlight a small part of each states’ history, foods and the people who make up the state. Many states have their own state celebrations, and National Day Calendar’s observances in no way replace them. There’s so much more to explore, we can’t help but celebrate our beautiful country even more!

16 November 1960
After Brenda Lee had turned it down for being “too Country”, Patsy Cline records “I Fall To Pieces” for Decca Records in Nashville. The song will enter the US charts the following summer and rise to #12.
16 November 1968
B.J. Thomas‘ “Hooked On A Feeling” is released. It will enter the Billboard chart in December and climb to #5, but was not a hit in the UK.
16 November 1974
John Lennon had his only solo, number one hit in the US during his lifetime when “Whatever Gets You Through the Night” hit the top. In his homeland, it could do no better than #36. His girl friend, May Pang, would later recall that John got the inspiration for the song when he saw TV evangelist Reverend Ike utter the phrase “Let me tell you guys, it doesn’t matter, it’s whatever gets you through the night.”
True story. From time to time I would send WABC’s Dan Ingram humorous little bits to use for an intro to the hit songs he played. I never knew if he’d use any but what a kick when he did.
Like, “It’s BJ Thomas, Hooked on a Ceiling.”
Being the creative genius he was he ‘d then build a story around it with each play:
“BJ Thomas, Hooked on a Ceiling. Someone let the poor man down!”
“BJ Thomas, Hooked on a Ceiling. It must be hard singing when you’re dangling like that” ?
“WAAAAAAABC” ?
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

““Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,”
STILL HUMAN!
“Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Cor. x. 31
The great marvel of the Incarnation slips into ordinary childhood’s life; the great marvel of the Transfiguration vanishes in the devil-possessed valley; the glory of the Resurrection descends into a breakfast on the sea-shore. This is not an anti-climax, but a great revelation of God.
The tendency is to look for the marvelous in our experience; we mistake the sense of the heroic for being heroes. It is one thing to go through a crisis grandly, but another thing to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, no one paying the remotest attention to us. If we do not want mediaeval haloes, we want something that will make people say – What a wonderful man of prayer he is! What a pious devoted woman she is! If you are rightly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the sublime height where no one ever thinks of noticing you, all that is noticed is that the power of God comes through you all the time.
Oh, I have had a wonderful call from God! It takes Almighty God Incarnate in us to do the meanest duty to the glory of God. It takes God’s Spirit in us to make us so absolutely humanly His that we are utterly unnoticeable. The test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is. We will set up success in Christian work as the aim; the aim is to manifest the glory of God in human life, to live the life hid with Christ in God in human conditions. Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.
Oswald Chambers
November 16th Devotional
All Glory to God, especially in the smallest acts of kindness.
Personally I have a serious problem with this type of thinking or rationale. Taking this to it’s logical conclusion, even if Jesus Christ appeared in the flesh, by this reasoning, one would be “obliged” to consider the unthinkable. To me one must be very careful about falling into the trap (which is most probably “satanic”) that every Angel of Light, and/or the righteous “must” by definition be – or rather “could” be – quite the opposite of what they “appear”. One can immediately see the problem here – how does one ever know or trust??. It’s an endless circle of of despair. Personally I believe a combination of God given wisdom, prayer, combined with “evidence” of “deeds/actions/words” of the person in question will go a long way in providing one with the correct “evaluation”. That and if you know your own motives to be true, your own good soul will guide one to see the truth.
Hmmmm.

Just thought I’d mention that though the models don’t show it yet, we in the east are in for a blast of far below normal cold air coming in the middle of next week. There is a fair chance it will settle in for a week or more.
Both the European and GFS models are showing a concentrated winter storm hitting the NYC area at a time when the city and surrounding areas may have significant snow on the ground over Thanksgiving. A relatively rare event.
The average ACE intensity for named tropical storms this year is only a 3. Thirty years ago it was 10. Ten years ago it was 8.2.

TODAY STEVE BANNON TURNED HIMSELF IN TO THE FBI IN WASHINGTON, DC. for an alledged MISDEMEANOR charge that fake news pushed out as though it were A CLASS A FELONY.
Can theses people get any more ludicrous? The word is the subpoena Bannon did not show up for, and or refused to cooperate with, was not even legal and binding as he had executive privilidge and duty to decline, as the matter was already under Federal investigation and the Kangaroo court was overstepping their position.
Bannon, greeted by dozens of fake news press seeking a comment…..tells them, “Hey- all together guys, remember we’re here today. What we’re doing is taking on the illegitimate Biden Regime! Don’t ever let this noise up here take you off message! Every day hammer, hammer, hammer!”
Before he turned himself into the FBI, Bannon went on air for an episode of his podcast WarRoom, imploring followers to continue the fight against the Biden administration.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
Living one day at a time
This seems an appropriate place to leave this. Everyone knows the beginning, but there is more.

That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.

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.
