Weekly Watch Focus: Supreme Court Confirmation—No More Delay!

Friday, October 5, 2018—The U.S. Senate is slated to vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court in the next 48 hours. We have witnessed intense spiritual battle over this seat. Brett Kavanaugh represents the godly values of our founding fathers that undergird and protect our liberty, and has the opportunity to set the direction our nation will take for years to come. 

Bind back witchcraft, intimidation, and manipulation of Senators that would try to block Kavanaugh’s affirmation. Declare no more delay and an open door for Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Justice of the Supreme Court. Pray for protection for Judge Kavanaugh, his family, and for members of the Senate being harassed and attacked for their support of this godly nominee.
 

Part 2: Brazil Presidential Elections:

Many believe this year’s presidential elections in Brazil are the most important elections in the nation’s history. It is a great opportunity for the nation to shift to a more godly path. This Sunday, October 7th is the first round of elections. In order to win this round, the candidate must receive more than 50% of valid votes.

Jair Bolsanaro is the leading candidate. He is like a David, facing the Goliath of establishment candidates backed by big money and corrupt politics. He has run his campaign with no money, no television ads, no press, and a lot of opposition (including an assassination attempt.) He has united Brazilian Christians across denominational lines as a pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-freedom-of-religion, and pro-Israel candidate. We believe that something supernatural is happening in Brazil.

Please cover the critical elections. Brazil has a history of grave corruption and fraud. Bolsanaro is facing powerful opposition with great influence in the media, government, and business circles. Bind back fraud and manipulation in the polls. Bind back violence and intimidation. Pray for Bolsanaro’s full healing and recovery from the recent attack. Cover him with a supernatural shield of angelic protection. We pray for Brazil. May every man or woman God has anointed to lead from the state to the national level have favor, protection, and be strong and courageous in the battle for a great turnaround for the nation of Brazil.
 

Part 3: Tsunami Recovery in Indonesia:

Last Friday, a Tsunami swept over the Indonesian island of Sulawesi following at 7.5 magnitude earthquake. The tsunami devastated the area, destroying tens of thousands of buildings, wiping entire villages off the coast, and resulting in over 1,500 lives lost, and thousands more injured. Rescuers are still searching for survivors and aid groups are rushing to provide, food, water, and sanitation before a secondary crisis emerges.

Pray for the victims, the recovery and protection from further powerful aftershocks. Pray that rescuers will be able to quickly find any remaining survivors. Pray for peace and comfort for everyone who has lost loved ones and homes.

Psalm 59: The Assured Judgment of the Wicked
To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him.

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloodthirsty men. For look, they lie in wait for my life; the mighty gather against me, not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord. They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.
Awake to help me, and behold! You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations; do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

At evening they return, they growl like a dog, and go all around the city. Indeed, they belch with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for they say, “Who hears?” But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. I will wait for You, O You his Strength; for God is my defense. My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.

Do not slay them, lest my people forget; scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for the cursing and lying which they speak. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be; and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah

And at evening they return, they growl like a dog, and go all around the city. They wander up and down for food, and howl if they are not satisfied. But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my defense, my God of mercy.

Psalm 40: “Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloodthirsty men.
 
For look, they lie in wait for my life; the mighty gather against me, not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord. They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. Awake to help me, and behold! You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations; do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
