The LORD God seeks people who will make-up the hedge and stand in gap for the land that He might not allow or permit its destruction (Ezekiel 22:30).

“So with the wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions. Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God” Ephesians 4:17-18 (TPT)

“Be imitators of God in everything you do, for you will represent your Father as His beloved sons and daughters.”   Ephesians 5:1 (TPT)

“For God is satisfied to have all His fullness dwelling in Christ. And by the blood of His cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to Himself . . . .” Colossians 1:19-20 (TPT)

“Igabes (Jabez) called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest indeed bless me, and enlarge my coasts, and that thy hand might be with me, and that wouldest make me know that thou wilt not grieve me! And God granted him all that he asked.” 1 Chronicles 4:10 (LXX Septuagint)

(from a Kenneth E. Hagin teaching)

Words of Grace:

1) It Is Finished. 2) Healing Is Mine. 3) Jesus Has Won. 4) Angels Go Now. 5) I Will Rest.

Faith is Settled Here; Faith denies illegalities; Angels move on the Word of God; Rest is Faith in Action.

(On a personal note, upon laying my head for sweet sleep, I speak 1 – 5 in addition to Psalm 34:7.)

“Remind people to respect their governmental leaders on every level as law abiding citizens and to be ready to fulfill their civic duty; to never tear down anyone with their words” Titus 3:1-2 (TPT)

“Jesus, the Holy One, makes us holy. And as sons and daughters, we now belong to his same Father, so he is not ashamed or embarrassed to introduce us as his brothers and sisters.” Hebrews 2:11 (TPT)

My thirty-four consecutive days of prayer (06/01/2026 – 07/04/2026) for the USA, its leaders, its territories, and sons & daughters of God thereof has been completed. As relayed in the Forward of my first book: Sowing The Seed Of Prayer (available via Amazon [all]; Barnes & Noble [electronic]), the Lord Jesus is referred to as the Great Intercessor (Isaiah 53:12). 

 John Wesley succinctly stated, “. . . (God) can do nothing for humanity unless someone ask Him”. For God gave dominion over the earth to humankind and He never goes back on His Word (Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 55:11). 

In keeping with the first part of Ezekiel 22:30 as well as 1 Timothy 2:1, my own daily prayers involve the USA and its political leaders though such doesn’t necessarily include consecutive days. Lastly, whether you did one day or more, a heartfelt “thank you” to those who joined with me as previously requested. Much love and peace.

“By God’s will we have been purified and made holy once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah! . . . .  And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—boldly without hesitation.” Hebrews 10:10, 19 (TPT)

“Make sure that you never refuse to listen to God when he speaks! For the God who spoke on earth from Sinai is the same God who now speaks from heaven.” Hebrews 12:25 (TPT)

“When you are tempted don’t ever say, ‘God is tempting me,’ for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation.” James 1:13 (TPT)

“You can believe all you want that there is one true God, that’s wonderful! But even the demons know this and tremble with fear before him, yet they’re unchanged—they remain demons.” James 2:19 (TPT)

The Tongue . . .

“We all fail in many areas, but especially with our words. . . . the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! . . .  it can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of the human body. . . . It’s a fickle, unrestrained evil that spews out words full of toxic poison! We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person  who was made in his very image! Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be.” James 3:2-10 (TPT)

“For (God’s) fountain of mercy has given us a new life—we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We are reborn into a perfect inheritance that can never perish, never be defiled, and never diminished. It is promised and preserved forever in the heavenly realm for you!” 1 Peter 1:4 (TPT)

“You must understand this at the outset: Interpretation of scriptural prophecy requires the Holy Spirit, for it does not originate from someone’s own imagination. No true prophecy comes from human initiative . . . .” 2 Peter 1:20-21 (TPT)

“. . . God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him. If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth.” 1 John 1:5-6 (TPT)

Mordecai prayed: “For I would gladly have kissed the soles of his (Haman) feet for the safety of Israel. But I have done this, that I might not set the glory of man above the glory of God: and I will not worship any one except thee my Lord . . . . .” Esther 4:17 (LXX)

*Note: I’ve read in a (otherwise very good) Study Bible that Esther is the only book in the Holy Bible wherein the LORD God is never mentioned; Of course we know the inference. But the LXX Septuagint goes well beyond inference. For both Mordecai and Esther pray to the LORD God (by Name).

“(GOD) has called us and made us his very own children. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize him. Beloved we are God’s children right now . . . .” 1 John 3:1-2 (TPT)

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah is God’s spiritual child and has been fathered by God himself. . . . We know that we are God’s children and that the whole world lies under the misery and influence of the Evil One.”  1 John 5:1,19 (TPT)

“Numerous deceivers have surfaced from among us and gone out into the world, people who will not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming as a man. These deceivers are antichrists! ”  2 John 7

The LORD God is Love personified; He didn’t sic the devil on Job. Truth is that Job both announced and operated in fear (Job 3:25 & 1:5); fear works in opposition to faith; fear made a hole in Job’s hedge of protection whereby evil entered.

“Worthy is Christ the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive great power and might, wealth and wisdom, and honor, glory, and praise.” Rev 5:12 (TPT)

If you are in Christ, then you have all that God the Father gifted Him.

Nothing is more powerful than the Word of God. And it is true unto me according to the Word of God by the blood of Jesus – the redemptive work of Christ Jesus.

“So the great dragon was thrown down once and for all. He was the serpent, the ancient snake called the devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole earth. He was cast down into the earth and his angels along with him.” Revelation 12:9 (TPT)
