HOLY SPIRIT GAVE ME AN ANSWER TO A WHY QUESTION

I woke from a nap after I had a dream of my tote bag shining. In the dream the tote bag was open and a light ray was shining out of it. Before I had dozed off I was listening to political news and studying and then praying for Our Nation and for my family. When I woke up I quickly went to look into my bag, and saw the newspapers which I had started receiving from "THE EPOCH TIMES" and the bag also contained my prayer books, but wasn't quite sure what I was to look for at the time.  During the week my schedule became busy and I had not been able to spend time to post anything on my blog about the dream , plus I wasn't sure exactly what the Holy Spirit was showing me.

As each day passed I would ask the Lord for revelation on the matter.  Then about a week later a post reminder from "THE EPOCH TIMES" popped up on my phone about "SPYGATE" which had info on "The Inside Story / A comprehensive overview of the Spygate scandal, building on dozens of testimonies, court documents, and other research." The inside posters revealed the scandal of "SPYGATE" which is an intense chart. I can only  describe it as being similar to a Family Tree Chart of family names and pics, and was very informative about the "SPYGATE" Scandal.

Anyway, after viewing the post, I then retrieved the posters from the tote bag and looked over them again. Then thought to myself, "Was EPOCH advertising new posters that are out now for distribution on the events happening which started the Impeachment, or is there something I need to know from the "SPYGATE" info?  The post had disclosed a few names and unfortunately I just can not remember them, and also I have not received any posts on that topic since. I have decided to share Prayers for Our Nation since my tote bag also included my prayer books.

Isaiah 60 The Passion Translation (TPT)
The Glorious New Day:
60 “Rise up in splendor and be radiant,[a] for your light has dawned, and Yahweh’s glory[b] now streams from you!  2 Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick gloom[c] covers the nations, but Yahweh arises[d] upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you![e]  3 Nations will be attracted to your radiant light[f] and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.[g]  4 Lift up your eyes higher! Look all around you and believe, for your sons are returning from far away and your daughters are being tenderly carried home.  Watch as they all gather together, eager to come back to you!

Footnotes:
Isaiah 60:1 Or “break forth with the light of (a new) day.” See Eph. 5:27. Applying vv. 1–2 to the church, we see Jesus as the Light that shines upon us (John 8:12; 2 Cor. 4:6) and the light of the church shining upon the nations (Matt. 5:14-16).
Isaiah 60:1 Here Isaiah begins a new section in his masterpiece. The theme of these last seven chapters is The Glorious New Day, corresponding to the Feast of Tabernacles. The Hebrew word for “glory” appears twenty-three times in chs. 60–66. A possible outline of these chapters is: (60) A New Day. (61) A New Priesthood. (62) A New Wedding. (63) A New Mercy. (64) A New Prayer. (65) A New Heaven and a New Earth. (66) A New Jerusalem.
Isaiah 60:2 Or “thick clouds.”
Isaiah 60:2 Or “breaks out over you.”
Isaiah 60:2 See Isa. 60:19-22; Mal. 4:2; Rev. 21:2-3.
Isaiah 60:3 Or “Nations will walk by your light.” Light is often seen as a biblical metaphor for understanding and revelation. See Eph. 1:18.
Isaiah 60:3 Or “to the brightness of your sunrise.” The sunrise of our new day came at the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  (TPT)

In Prayer the Holy Spirit said, "One Nation Under God"

2 Samuel 23:2-7 The Message (MSG) David's Last Words

God’s Spirit spoke through me, his words took shape on my tongue.  The God of Israel spoke to me, Israel’s Rock-Mountain said, “Whoever governs fairly and well, who rules in the Fear-of-God, Is like first light at daybreak without a cloud in the sky, like green grass carpeting earth, glistening under fresh rain.”  And this is just how my regime has been, for God guaranteed his covenant with me, spelled it out plainly and kept every promised word—My entire salvation,  my every desire. But the devil’s henchmen are like thorns culled and piled as trash; Better not try to touch them; keep your distance with a rake or hoe. They’ll make a glorious bonfire!

Psalm 36:1-4 (MSG)  A David Psalm

The God-rebel tunes into sedition—all ears, eager to sin.  He has no regard for God, he stands insolent before him.  He has smooth-talked himself into believing that his evil will never be noticed. Words gutter from his mouth, dishwater dirty. Can’t remember when he did anything decent.  Every time he goes to bed, he fathers another evil plot. When he’s loose on the streets, nobody’s safe. He plays with fire and doesn’t care who gets burned. 

Isaiah 29:17-21 (MSG)  And then before you know it, and without you having anything to do with it, Wasted Lebanon will be transformed into lush gardens, and Mount Carmel reforested.  At that time the deaf will hear word-for-word what’s been written.  After a lifetime in the dark, the blind will see.  The castoffs of society will be laughing and dancing in God, the down-and-outs shouting praise to The Holy of Israel. For there’ll be no more gangs on the street. Cynical scoffers will be an extinct species. Those who never missed a chance to hurt or demean will never be heard of again: Gone the people who corrupted the courts, gone the people who cheated the poor, gone the people who victimized the innocent.

Psalm 24:1-2 (MSG) God claims Earth and everything in it, God claims World and all who live on it. He built it on Ocean foundations, laid it out on River girders.

Psalm 97:1 (MSG) God rules: there’s something to shout over!  On the double, mainlands and islands—celebrate! Psalm 96:1-3: Sing God a brand-new song!  Earth and everyone in it, sing!  Sing to God—worship God! Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea, Take the news of his glory to the lost, News of his wonders to one and all!  Psalm 99:1-3 The Message (MSG)  God rules. On your toes, everybody!  He rules from his angel throne—take notice!  God looms majestic in Zion, He towers in splendor over all the big names.  Great and terrible your beauty: let everyone praise you!  Holy. Yes, holy.  

Psalm 110:1-3 (MSG)  A David Prayer

The word of God to my Lord:  “Sit alongside me here on my throne until I make your enemies a stool for your feet.”  You were forged a strong scepter by God of Zion; now rule, though surrounded by enemies! Your people will freely join you, resplendent in holy armor on the great day of your conquest, join you at the fresh break of day, join you with all the vigor of youth.

Isaiah 60:3-7 (MSG). People Returning for the Reunion “Get out of bed, Jerusalem!  Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God’s bright glory has risen for you. The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness, But God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you. Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness.  Look up! Look around!  Watch as they gather, watch as they approach you: Your sons coming from great distances, your daughters carried by their nannies. When you see them coming you’ll smile—big smiles! Your heart will swell and, yes, burst! All those people returning by sea for the reunion, a rich harvest of exiles gathered in from the nations! And then streams of camel caravans as far as the eye can see, young camels of nomads in Midian and Ephah, Pouring in from the south from Sheba, loaded with gold and frankincense,  preaching the praises of God.  And yes, a great roundup of flocks from the nomads in Kedar and Nebaioth, Welcome gifts for worship at my altar as I bathe my glorious Temple in splendor. 

Psalm 128:3-4 (MSG)  Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes, your household lush as a vineyard, The children around your table as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.  Stand in awe of God’s Yes.  Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God!

Psalm 22:27-28 (MSG)   From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God.  Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him.  God has taken charge;  from now on he has the last word.

Proverbs 2:20-22 (MSG)  So—join the company of good men and women,   keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths.  It’s the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here.  The corrupt will lose their lives; the dishonest will be gone for good.

Psalm 72:9-14 (MSG)  Foes will fall on their knees before God, his enemies lick the dust. Kings remote and legendary will pay homage, kings rich and resplendent will turn over their wealth.  All kings will fall down and worship, and godless nations sign up to serve him, Because he rescues the poor at the first sign of need, the destitute who have run out of luck.  He opens a place in his heart for the down-and-out, he restores the wretched of the earth.  He frees them from tyranny and torture—when they bleed, he bleeds; when they die, he dies.

Isaiah 35:1-2  (MSG)  The Voiceless Break into Song
Wilderness and desert will sing joyously, the badlands will celebrate and flower—Like the crocus in spring, bursting into blossom, a symphony of song and color.  Mountain glories of Lebanon—a gift.  Awesome Carmel, stunning Sharon—gifts. God’s resplendent glory, fully on display.  God awesome, God majestic.

Psalm 118:21-25 (MSG)  Thank you for responding to me; you’ve truly become my salvation!  The stone the masons discarded as flawed is now the capstone! This is God’s work.  We rub our eyes—we can hardly believe it!  This is the very day God acted—let’s celebrate and be festive!  Salvation now, God. Salvation now!  Oh yes, God—a free and full life! 

1Timothy 2:1-3  (MSG)  Simple Faith and Plain Truth

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

Prayer for Our Nation:  I pray for the leader of my nation to come to the light.  I make supplication, prayer, intercession, and give thanks for all the people of my nation and for the leaders of my nation, that I might live a peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  Let our leaders  be just, and let them rule by the fear of the Lord.  Let our leaders fall down before the Lord, and let my nations serve Him.  Let the poor and the needy people of my nation be delivered.  Let the Lord's dominion be established in my nation, and let His enemies lick the dust.  Turn our leaders' to fear You. Let the Lord rule over my nation, and let my nation be glad and rejoice.  Let my nation sing a new song, bless His name, and show forth His salvation from day to day.  Let the people of my nation tremble at the presence of the Lord. Let my nation make a joyful noise to the Lord, and let the people serve Him with gladness.  Let our leaders praise You, and let them hear the words of Your mouth.  Let my nation praise the Lord for His merciful kindness and truth. I pray my nation will show forth the praises of God.  I pray that my nation will be healed by the leaves from the tree of life.  I pray my nation will seek the Lord and enter into His rest.  I pray that the Glory of the Lord be revealed to my nation and that all the inhabitants will see it.  Let the Lord bring righteousness and judgment to my nation.  Let peace (shalom) come into my nation like a river.  Let the children of my nation be taught of the Lord.  Let the people of my nation come and worship the Lord, and let Your light shine upon those in the shadow of darkness.  Let the Holy Spirit be poured out in my nation, and  let our sons and daughters prophecy.  Open a door of utterance in my nation, that my people might hear Your Word in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray.  ~Scripture prayer included from "Prayers for Our Nation" by John Eckhart 

Tidbit:  Who added one nation under God?  In 1954, at President Dwight D. Eisenhower's urging, the Congress legislated that “under God” be added, making the pledge read: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
