“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES:

  1. John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

  1. Colossians 1:13

13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,

  1. Acts 3:19

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

  1. Hebrews 4:16

16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

  1. Exodus 13:21-22

21 By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

  1. Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.[a]

  1. John 16:13

13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

  1. John 8:32

32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

  1. 2 Corinthians 5:7

For we live by faith, not by sight.

  1. Daniel 6:22 (Daniel in lion’s den)

22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”

  1. Daniel 3:8-27 (Shadrach Meshach Abednego)

At this time some astrologers[b] came forward and denounced the Jews. They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May the king live forever! 10 Your Majesty has issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, 11 and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

13 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, 14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? 15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[c] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual 20 and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. 22 The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”

They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”

25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”

So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.

  1. 1 Samuel 17:50-53 (David and Goliath)

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[f] and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.

  1. Matthew 18:18-19

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[e] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[f] loosed in heaven.

19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

  1. Luke 10:19

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.

  1. 1 John 5:4

for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

  1. Psalm 118:24

24 The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.

Calling All Representatives of Jesus Christ on Planet Earth! Let’s come in agreement and continue praying for our rightful President, and for all the leaders of the world whose elections were stolen from them.

Father God, we come before You in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ, Your Dear Son.

We lift before You the one You call Your Son and Your David in the USA, our rightful President, Donald J. Trump. We pray first, for his protection from all harm and danger.

And Lord, please protect all those he loves and those who support and assist him in any way. We ask You to continue to draw him closer to You.

We want to know You like Your David did. We ask for Your Hand of anointing upon him as it was on David. We ask You to give him the faith and trust in You that David had.

We pray that You will give Your David Divine Guidance and Wisdom for every decision he has to make each and every day.

We ask You to give Him Victory over every attack and over every adversity. We ask You to bring him back to the seat that was stolen from him.

We ask You to wake up America abruptly as a loud alarm clock wakes us up. We ask You to open the eyes of the blind and the deceived. Father, we ask You to break all the powers of darkness that have come over our land.

We bind them all in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, and declare they have NO right or authority in our nation. We take back our nation, in Jesus Name.

We ask this for every other nation whose leadership is not who You want it to be, in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

We declare victory over our enemies, Donald J.Trump’s enemies, our nation’s enemies, and Your enemies, in Jesus Name.

We praise You and thank You for all You have done and are doing to restore our rightful President and our Nation. Amen. To God be the Glory!
