​The following are 5 prayer points to pray right now for the election as submitted by former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann:
PRAYER POINT #1: Expose and hold accountable those who practice the seven things God hates and He says are detestable to Him. According to Proverbs 6:16-17, There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him: 1. haughty eyes, 2. a lying tongue, 3. hands that shed innocent blood, 4. a heart that devises wicked plans, 5. feet that are quick to rush into evil, 6. a false witness who pours out lies, 7. a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Pray it out:
Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada please silence every lying tongue and convict the hearts of those who devise wicked plans intended to invalidate and nullify the expressed will of the voters. Stop those who would be quick to rush into evil. Expose and silence every false witness who utters lies and operates in deceit. Thwart the efforts of every person who attempts to stir conflict within their community.        
PRAYER POINT #2: Expose all wickedness intended to steal, kill and destroy the electoral process in these battleground states.
Pray it out:
Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada that you “reveal deep and hidden things. You know what lies in darkness. Light dwells with You.” (Daniel 2:22) Please bring to light and expose every lie, deceit, deception, misrepresentation and illegal act intended to “steal, kill and destroy” the electoral process and the expressed will of the citizens and these states. (John 10:10)
PRAYER POINT #3: Frustrate those who seek to steal, kill, and destroy electoral integrity and authentic, accurate vote counts in these battleground states.
Pray it out:
Heavenly Father, please, “Frustrate the plotting of the shrewd so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise or attain success.” May no weapon formed intended to steal, kill and destroy the authentic, accurate vote count and expressed will of the people in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada “be allowed to prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17)
PRAYER POINT #4: Frustrate and thwart the plans of those who attempt to sabotage the state’s election laws and subvert the expressed will of the people.
Pray it out:
Heavenly Father, please “Capture the wise by their own shrewdness and quickly thwart the advice of the cunning” (Job 5:12) whose intention is to sabotage and subvert state and federal election law and the expressed will of the people in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada. “Hold them guilty O LORD, by their own devices let them fall.” (Psalm 5:10)
PRAYER POINT #5: Psalm 5 for protection and favor for President Trump.
Pray it out:
Heavenly Father, please “Give ear to President Trump’s words, O LORD, consider President Trump’s groaning. Heed the sound of his cry for help, for you are his King and his God. For to You does he pray. In the morning O LORD, you will hear his voice; in the morning he will order his prayer to you and eagerly watch. For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil dwells with You. The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. Destroy those who speak falsehood. You abhor the man of bloodshed and deceit. But as for President Trump, by Your abundant lovingkindness he will enter Your house. At your holy temple he will bow in reverence for you. Lord. Please lead President Trump in Your righteousness because of his foes. Make his way straight before him. There is nothing reliable in what they say; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. Hold them guilty, O God. By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out for they are rebellious against You. But let President Trump take refuge in You and be glad. Let him ever sing for joy. May you shelter him. May he who loves Your name exult in You. Bless President Trump, O LORD. Surround him with favor as with a shield.” Heavenly Father, please give supernatural wisdom, strength and discernment to the President and his advisors regarding how to navigate the road ahead. In the mighty Name of Jesus, we pray, amen.
Thank you, Michele, for giving us these five strategic prayer points —all directly from the Bible. So, in praying these, we are doing what faith people do. We pray the WORD and expect The WORD’s results!
This is much like the prayer in the fourth chapter of the Book of Acts where the place they were at was shaken by the visible power of the Living God. Praying this prayer in unison—agreement—will shake this nation once again toward its righteous goal.

Stop the fear

With everything that is going on in the world today, how do we keep from living in fear?

The Word of God gives us the tools to stop fear.


First: Knowing you have the authority to stop it.
Luke 10:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. to protect us.


Second: Knowing that God intends to protect you.
Hebrews 13:5 New International Version (NIV)
5 ...because God has said,“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 New International Version (NIV)6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or be terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Third: Speak life not death.
Proverbs 18:21
21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue.


Deuteronomy 30:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.

So... Claim your protection and live fear free.

Read aloud Psalm 91, pray this over your family and friends every day.

Psalm 91 English Standard Version (ESV)
​My Refuge and My Fortress
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
    and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
    and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place--
    the Most High, who is my refuge--
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
    no plague come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
    the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”

History

1/22/2019

As a boy my mom MADE me go to Sunday School. We would make the half hour trek to church several towns away, mainly because it's where her mother went. To me it meant having to get up early on a day off from school.

Mom would stay for church and we would ride home with my grandfather.One day I decided to go to church instead of Sunday School, mom didn't care, I was going.

One day sitting in church, I decided I was going to be a minister. It hasn't happened so far and I am not ruling it out. Kenneth Copeland started his studies in his 30's.

Fast forward a little bit, due to issues among the families that ran the church and mom's need to go back to work, we stopped going. Mom worked Central Supply at the hospital and had to work Sundays some times.

Moving into the early 80's, I went to a Fred Price meeting at the Brendan Byrne Arena. Got saved for sure (really don't know if I ever was before, don't remember it at my old church) and filled with the Holy Spirit.
As a side note, most people know the day and hour of salvation. Unfortunately, I made no note of it and can't find the date he was in New Jersey.

A problem with salvation is that if no one follows up to guide you it's easy to just keep doing what you were doing. And that's what happened, it was like nothing changed.

Go forward another 20 years, early 2000's. A friend we were in business with directs Karen and I to Charles Stanley and his monthly "In Touch" magazine. We find him and Joel Osteen on TV. Our education begins.

Let's move ahead to 2013. We make the move from Florida to the little town of Fulton, Texas.
Population: 1356.
We start going to the full gospel church across the street from our house. We liked Pastor Varner because he only teaches from the Word and he'll tell you to check it out for yourself. Suddenly, we are being taught and fed the Word of God. Karen and I become active in the church through involvement in website building, email client, food pantry and the Women of Joy Ministry. We got baptized in water and the Holy Ghost.

We now have a hunger for the Word of God. We feed ourselves not only with church and it's Bible studies but also Joel Osteen and John Gray. That leads us to Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Brother Copleand and Gloria, Pastor George Pearsons, Pastor Greg Stevens, Dr. Gene Bailey and others from KCM.
Through KCM, we start following Jesse Duplantis, Jerry Savelle and others with the same beliefs.

Hurricane Harvey forced us from our little town and church, through the magic of electronics we still learn and get filed with the Word. Oh, we still use that non-battery operated device for our studies, the Bible.

Hope my random thoughts on this blog inspire people to think about and research the Word.

    First and foremost, don't start a religion off of what I post.

    I want to make clear that I am not a pastor and have not had formal training.

    My goal here is to ask questions, propose scriptural answers as I see them and to have people think about the things I say to derive answers on their own from the scriptures.

    For a history of where I've been and where I'm at - see my first blog post "History"

    Finally doing what the Lord instructed me to do.
