SEPTEMBER 3, 2022 PRAYER UPDATE
Israel and the Nations
On August 29, 2022, this word was sent to American intercessors by Global Prayer Watch:
*For those Americans who think civil war is the only answer for the future of their nation, this scripture was highlighted today:
Matthew 12:25 (New Living Translation): “Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, ‘Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart.’ “
There is a better solution. May His strategies be revealed to those who are diligently seeking Him!
These intercessors were warned that Americans should not use the arm of the flesh in lashing out at unrighteousness. Using violence to subdue the unrighteous is not the way of Yeshua (Jesus). God will deal with the unrighteous. For Americans, especially believers, to take law and order into their own hands is contrary to the teachings of the New Testament.
It could be like the Wild West once was! Yet, Ephesians 4:26 says: "Be angry, but do not sin..."
It’s time to be a witness of His redemption and salvation to those who are lost, bringing them into the Kingdom of God!
*Today, September 3, 2022, the headline on the Yahoo Web site: “Docs: Online declarations of civil war after Biden speech.”
According to Yahoo News, “Biden’s fiery speech In Philadelphia, denouncing former President Donald Trump, and what he described as ‘extreme MAGA ideology,’ has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News."
The article further states:
"Biden’s remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counter terrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would already inflame an already volatile threat environment.”
Whether this is fake news or not, or a political agenda further pitting the Democrats against the Republicans (and further dividing Americans), it confirms the prophetic word about the danger of civil war, and the warning for Americans to not take up arms.
American believers should stay above the fray, and concern themselves with intercession for the healing of the wounds of their nation, and for the salvation of the people.
May Americans align themselves with God's Kingdom purposes -- united not divided. May American believers, who know the Word of the Lord, not be angry. But, if they are angry, do not sin.
May they not follow a call to violent action. Rather, turn to our God -- who is the Commander of the Armies of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 32:8: "With him is an arm of the flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles..."
May there be a heart cry offered up to the Lord, declaring 2 Chronicles 7:14, and may "He hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land."
