Intercessors For America always has great articles guiding us in ways to pray effectively for our nation. Today's article strikes me as something I really needed to pass on to all my readers. It is titled "World's Largest Satanic Gathering - in the U.S."
Now that we've grown up we realize how serious life can get. We see the evil, feel the weight of responsibility and challenges and stresses. It is so easy to decide it is time to set aside the childhood hopes and dreams and joy and fun, and get serious about life. Or maybe we just need to remain childlike... Following is journaling from Ruth Morgan.
If I fill my mind and heart daily with the evil taking place around me, I become fearful, angry, and depressed. This removes my Kingdom emotions of joy and peace (Rom. 14:17). The emotions of joy and peace turn on my immune system so I can walk in divine health. Fear, anger, and depression turn off my immune system so that cancer and other horrible diseases can develop, which I do not want!

Ruth: Lord, my friend Dani died! I thought she was being healed! Lord, we saw visions of her running, and fully healed, and she was making wonderful progress physically! Her cancer was confirmed gone! But what happened? Did we not pray hard enough? Did I let my friend down? How did I miss something?
I see Jesus - His eyes are blue and like diamonds. His smile is HUGE. Jesus is happy that she is with Him.
I had a dream last night that I was not at all prepared for a major test that was coming up. I was frantic. There was no way I could prepare in the short time remaining before the exam. I awoke in turmoil.
I journaled - Lord, what have I not prepared for?
For intimacy with Me. You have been consumed with other activities and have not come to hear My voice. Come that we may be together and I may share with you the things that are on My heart for you to hear and to do.
We must recognize the times we are in. Is the atmosphere divine or demonic? A divine atmosphere is filled with faith, hope, and love (1 Cor. 13:13). The demonic is filled with opposites: fear, hopelessness, anger. Right now, fear gushes like a firehose from news stations every single minute of every day. Hopelessness permeates the atmosphere. Anger toward any who would dare to disagree with the decisions of those who have chosen to dominate the people of the world is spewed with vehemence from the airwaves. So yes, the demonic is being disgorged across the world. It is seeking to penetrate the soul and spirit of every single person. We choose to resist this and instead to stay in tune with the divine, the voice of our Heavenly Father.
This prophetic insight was sent to me today from my daughter-in-law, Charla Virkler:
The first miracles Moses performed affected the Israelites as well as the Egyptians. But something changed after the first three, and suddenly Goshen was spared from each plague that came upon Egypt.
We are living in a time when domination, control, fear, deception, and emotions are running high. Our desire is NOT to be deceived, whether by fear tactics, control freaks or by workers of miracles who are not followers of Jesus Christ. We are truly in a war so we need to also be wise as serpents or our voice will be removed from the public forum, as only the party platform is allowed there, and those who disagree with the "party line" vanish.
According to this article, “For all comparable countries that have reported provisional or estimated life expectancy for 2020 (Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and U.S.), life expectancy at birth decreased in 2020 due to COVID-19.”
Lord, what do You want to speak to the Church today?
I have called you to be a nation of leaders, not a nation of followers. You are to LEAD and NOT to follow (Deut. 28:1-14). You are to initiate and not react. You are to hear My voice, discern My purposes, receive YOUR assignment along with My anointing to carry out that assignment and say, “Yes, Lord” to what I commission you to do (Jn. 5:19,20,30).
