The Clinton E-mails Are Critical to the Clinton Foundation Investigation

white-house-for-sale

The FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for potential financial crimes and influence peddling…. [Their findings are] suggestive of a pattern of pay-to-play bribery, the monetizing of political influence, fraud, and obstruction of justice that the Justice Department should be investigating as a possible RICO conspiracy under the federal anti-racketeering laws.

Prayer:

Lord God:

You are an honest judge, angry with the wicked every day.

And every day, we learn more and more about the lies and deceit and corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton under the guise of a charitable foundation. Their lying, cheating, criminality, dishonor, and degradation seemingly knows no bounds.

And now, the thoroughly corrupt Justice Department of the United States is obstructing justice by refusing to allow the FBI to review potentially incriminating emails. The Clintons and their associates are a highly contagious, infectious disease on our country contaminating everything and anyone they touch.

Lord God:

Deliver America from these evil, wicked people.

Lead the children of the Light, Your children, to the polls on November 8th in unprecedented numbers – that honesty, integrity and transparency might be the hallmarks of our new government.

“We will treat everyone living or residing in our country with dignity. We will be fair, just and compassionate to all. But our greatest compassion must be for American citizens.”

– Donald J Trump (On Immigration)

__________

Prayer:

Creator God:

You made every tribe and nation on earth and gave them different cultures and languages; and you gave them places to live distinct from one another. All are loved by You; and one day all will bow before You and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

In Christ, You have broken down the spiritual walls that separate us; and yet, You have established tribes and nations with borders and governments that justice and peace might prevail and that all might prosper.

But now, Lord, all of that seems to have gone terribly wrong.

Our world is in the throes of chaos caused by corrupt governments and the violence of war; and millions of people have been displaced from their homelands fleeing for their lives. Ancient Christian cultures are being destroyed and western civilization is being overrun by migrant people – some deserving and some depraved.

National boundaries are being “torn down” and we are in “great trouble and disgrace.”

God Only Wise:

We desperately need Your wisdom, understanding, and sound judgement to understand how to protect our national boundaries from the depraved who would do us harm; while at the same time creating a legal, orderly immigration system to admit those who are deserving of American citizenship.

Lord God, help America to sort through these difficult issues:

+ Securing our southern border

+ Removing illegals who cross the border

+ Expelling criminal aliens by enforcing our current laws

+ Ending sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce our current laws

+ Enforcing all current immigration laws

+ Suspending the issuance of visas to any place without proven and effective vetting mechanisms

Gracious God:

Show us how to sort through these seemingly intractable problems in a way that treats everyone living or residing in our country with dignity. And in a way that will be fair, just and compassionate to all.

I am the First and the Last
I am the First and the Last

When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the living one. I died, but look — I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.”

+ In bearing good news, in breaking new ground
+ Alone and with others, be they friend or enemy
+ In carrying your light, in combating darkness
+ In healing and freedom and life-giving blessing
+ In comfort or challenge, to rescue and save
+ In all my beginnings, and at each ending
