A Now Word for Sunday, 22 NOV 2020

 “The Lord is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth. Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve. How long, Lord, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant? They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting. They crush your people, Lord; they oppress your inheritance. For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance. Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.” (Psalm 94:1-5; 14-15; NIV)

God, we believe the things You are saying to us in your word, and even through dreams You have been giving us. Yours is the Kingdom! We declare that this great nation is Yours. Turn the ears of the church to hear Holy Spirit. We must not take our identity from what the media says about us; what a dangerous road that is. The church is not defined by the government, media, secularists, or the religious, nor is this nation. We are who You say we are! The church and our nation’s identity come from You and what You say alone! Knock the Baal prophets off their newsroom thrones! Let this nation be loosed from their decrees and their twisted narratives! We’ve got their number! We won’t be gaslighted! We know what they are doing because You have revealed it all. Let all their evil, wicked plans and deeds be placed in the light for all to see!

Lord, cause the church to press in to hear You. We must come together and hear what You are saying, then declare it in power! Your Kingdom is coming and Your will is going to be done! We’re not backing down. By Your grace and mercy, we are going to overcome spiritual forces operating in the invisible realm so evil can be dealt with in the natural realm. Lord , we ask you to expose their wicked deeds and the ideologies behind them. Bring them to justice! Give justice to this nation. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
