PRAY AGAINST PASSAGE OF H.R. 1

 Father God, we praise You for You alone are holy; You alone are righteous; You alone are omnipotent, and You alone are omniscient. We praise You because it is written:

"I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed." (Malachi 3:6)

> > > As it was then . . . so it shall be NOW.

Father, we thank You that, just as the Israelites stood on the shore of the Red Sea in the day of Moses, boxed in with no hope of escape, seeing NO WAY OUT . . . we, too, are now standing at the edge of our own RED SEA, facing the imminent destruction of our nation.

BUT GOD!

Lord God, in ONE INSTANT and AT THE PERFECT TIME, You SHOWED UP! The wheels of Pharoah's chariots got STUCK IN THE MUD and FELL OFF - canceling their pursuit. The waters returned, the sea OVERWHELMED THEM, and they (and their plot) were DESTROYED in one instant!

Lord God, today we do not see the way of escape, but YOU DO! We stand in faith believing that just as You have brought us TO this place, You will now bring us THROUGH this place; and that this shall be accomplished by Your mighty hand and not that of MAN.

We now wait expectantly, as Your people of FAITH, to see what shall become of this bill AND of the wicked who are trying to see it pass. In Your Name we pray, amen and amen! And unlike the time of Moses, we now stand, asking that the lives of the wicked be spared unto salvation while their wicked scheme -- H.R. 1 -- is destroyed. AMEN.

IT IS WRITTEN:

- "You divided the sea before them, and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into raging waters." (Psalm 106:9)

- "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)

- "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

“Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.”

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure . . ." Psalm 2:1-5
