Sam Rohrer:       Hello and welcome to this Monday edition of Stand In the Gap Today, in the beginning of this very last week of July, wow is the summer moving quickly and so many things are moving quickly. If you follow the news, there are so many things that are happening. I say regularly on here. It’s tough for us sometimes to choose what we’re going to talk about and sometimes what not to talk about because whether it be local or certainly national and increasingly global events are happening with such a frequency and fervor to me anyways. And I think all of you listen regularly, know that there’s a prophetical element almost that’s happening and converging so quickly that it’s making these days rather incredible. And it’s important that we keep these things in mind. So that’s how we look at the programs. Now today we’re going to do that in a little bit.

Sam Rohrer:       My very good friend and friend of this program and a friend of all who love the Lord and the freedom is honor Michele Bachmann. And together we’re going to walk through and highlight just a few of these paramount events having just occurred, or I’m going to say literally in the process of unfolding as we speak, we go here in America. First we’re going to go to France. What’s happened there? Their Olympics. We’re going to go to Turkey and they’re threat against Israel in the Middle East and we’re going to end up then talking about the New York City and the prayer breakfast, all of these things we’re going to work in today. My theme though, is this a world in rebellion? Isn’t that true? A world in rebellion. But before I bring in Micheleand at all Joy doing this, I have some very sad news to share with all of you, our listeners.

Sam Rohrer:       From one standpoint it’s very sad human tragedy. It’s visited a part of our stand in the Gap today, team over the weekend. And many of you have heard about what I’ll just explain, but you may not know the connection to us, but let me just share just briefly. I just put together a few words to kind of concisely say this, but on Friday, this past Friday, July 26th at approximately 1:00 PM Wyoming time, there was a single engine charter plane. Again, you may have heard about it because it went down carrying seven people. Started a little bit of a fire out there in that part of Wyoming, but on board it included Nathan and Amber Kistler, the only son Nathan is to Dave and his wife, the only son to our co-host. He’s also a member of our board, the evangelist Dave Kistler. That plane went down in a field near Gillette.

Sam Rohrer:       Wyoming in the sense is probably instantly killed all aboard. But one thing is good. Not only did the Lord instantly receive them in Nathan, Amber and the rest we believe on that plane into his presence to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. That happened, we know that. But Amber’s parents, Jason and Kelly Nelon of the Nelon Southern gospel fame were also on board. They were heading out to Seattle to join up with the Gaithers for a cruise up to Alaska. Didn’t happen. In addition, the pilot and his wife and a close friend of the family also perished in that crash. So I share this news with all of you such you can be aware, certainly and also to invite your prayers for Dave and his wife Betsy and all involved that they would sense the Lord’s power in indescribable ways.

Sam Rohrer:       And we know how the Lord can do that, don’t we? And that at the same time in this human tragedy, God will be glorified and people pointed to the God of heaven, who above who is alone to be praised and where we can also be totally confident that even in things like this and all things God will work all things together for the good, his good, his glory, and for those who love him and are living in obedience to him. So I would ask, put this before him, would ask that you pray Now if you would like to share a note, I’m not going to give the address here, it’s just too long to do. But if you would like to share a note or even a gift for the Kistler family and for Dave’s hope ministry, which Nathan was an integral part, you can do so by designating the gift as such to a APN for this purpose or sending an email or a note to us and we will make sure that is passed along.

Sam Rohrer:       Alright, so we’re going to pray for them in the end when Micheleand I pray for other things. But Michelle, we don’t have time. I mean this has gone fairly long, but about a minute and a half here. But first of all, welcome to the program and sure, just briefly if you don’t mind, Michelle, the Jerusalem Prayer breakfast of which God used you to start years ago is going to be in New York City, September 15th and 16th. A little bit about that, about people if they want to go, how to do that and a bit about that as we open our program today. Would you please,

Michele Bachmann:         Sam, it’s always wonderful to be with you and your audience and we are one big family. The Bible says to weep with those who mourn, and I’m sure people are shocked right now with the news that you’ve shared. So we weep with the Kissler family, we pray for the Kistler family and we’re going to, this will unfold as the days go forward. As you had mentioned, one of the founders of the Jerusalem prayer breakfast and honored to be so. And as we see in the United States, we are looking at rather than cursing the darkness, lighting a candle as the proverbs teaches us to do. And so as Israel is literally in waging the battle for her existence, we’ll talk about that more on the show today. The Jerusalem Prayer breakfast is coming to New York City, the sight of so many of the riots from the people who were for Hamas.

Michele Bachmann:         And we are giving New York City an opportunity. The Lord is giving New York City an opportunity to bless Israel after all of the cursing. So we’re holding a Jerusalem prayer breakfast in New York City and I encourage people to go to Jerusalem prayer breakfast New York city.com and find out the information. It’s coming up the middle of September, but Jerusalem Prayer, breakfast, New York City, we will be gathering for two days to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and to be talking about and worshiping and ministering regarding Israel. There’s been a huge allegiance given to the haters of Israel. We want to bring the body of Christ together so that we can come into New York City and we’ll be holding this at a hotel. And we are there to bless Israel in this city and again to give New Yorkers an opportunity to bless and curse not. We want to invite all of our friends to make this a priority and come in in mid-September into New York City and join together unified as the body of Christ as we come into alignment with the scriptures and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Sam, you and your wife or Sam have joined in Jerusalem for Jerusalem Prayer, breakfast. This will be a powerful event that I know you’ll be a part of.

Sam Rohrer:       Well thank you Michele and ladies and gentlemen, we’ll be back and give the site again and some more information and we’ll pray at the end of this program. As we start here, we’re going to go to France next and things have happened there. We’re going to go to Turkey and Middle East and then we will close out by praying again here at the end of the program. So thanks for being with us today. A world in rebellion is our theme. My special guest, the Honorable Michele Bachmann, in Psalm chapter two, the scripture tells us of the time in which I think we now live where the God rejecting around the world. Scripture says they rage and they imagine things, vain things the King James says, but they imagine things to be real that are not. For instance, that there they’re a God. That’s a lot of it.

Sam Rohrer:       There’s more to it than that. But the scripture there says that they lift up their fists to the God of heaven in defiance. That’s what that means. And they swear that they’ll pull down God from heaven. Well this chapter four tells then increasing assault and a persecution against all that God is all that God has anointed and chosen and set aside as his own. They start with him, but they start with the chosen of God obviously is Jesus Christ. God’s chosen redeemer. Antichrist is what this chapter talks about. So they go after him, they go after the Jewish people and Israel chosen of God we know and through whom God said he would bring that redeemer, Jesus Christ. And it also means Christians who we know. All of you who know the Lord is Savior, know that if we, and once we trust in Jesus Christ as the promised Redeemer, scripture tells us that we were literally chosen of God in the mind of God before the foundations of the world.

Sam Rohrer:       I cannot explain that fully, but I can believe it. So I know these are all chosen and that is what we are seeing. These lawless, the rebellious of the world, the God rejecting of the world seems to be boiling and raging, coming to a head in the days. The Bible speaks about as these latter years of the end days, our days. And we’ve talked about that much. Alright, with that in mind, Michelle, this is what I want to talk about. Let’s go to France. I said I would go to France, let’s go to France. The Olympics are in France and most of the people listening right now probably are aware of that. The depiction that they saw, that blasphemous depiction of the last supper with drag queens. It was horrible, but it was also a bull’s head… On one part of that, there was a depiction about white horse and then a pale horse, which sounds exactly like coming off the pages of Revelation.

Sam Rohrer:       It was bizarre. I don’t know how to frame it, but any kind of comments that you have on it, both on the what and the why. What are we watching from your perspective when we see things like this happen as a part of a global entity like the Olympics, which should be there to well for good things. I mean the Olympic has never been there to glorify God. We know that it’s been there to basically glorify the prowess of man. I know that. But anyways, your thoughts on this because it has not gone unnoticed by even the unbelievers in the world.

Michele Bachmann:         No, that’s right. This was disgraceful, it was mocking, it was raising a fist of rebellion against God, as you rightly stated. And the world is choosing disobedience. The world is choosing rebellion. The Olympics represents the globalization of sports. It’s always been seen as a global act. It began in Greece, but it has been, at least in our modern lifetimes, it’s been seen as the globalization of sports and as we’ve seen the globalization of nearly everything else in our world. So to the globalization of sports is making a choice, an ideological choice. And the choice that was made was specifically to insult, mock and put down God. And yet people who go into this mentally deranged state of a delusion thinking that they can raise their fist before God, sometimes they don’t even recognize how they are being used by Satan to push this world into an end time scenario.

Michele Bachmann:         More than anything, what happens shows me how close we are to the end time scenario. Now that shouldn’t lead us to sadness or fear or depression. If anything, we should be even closer to the word of God because it shows us the word of God is true. We’re told in the Book of Genesis that it would be like the days of Noah. Now again, this was in Paris, France, and this is where there’s a very strong Islamic community. Had this been done to the Islamic world, which has far fewer adherence than the Christian world, which has 2 billion followers, I guarantee you France would be burning right now. The Islamic world would’ve reacted, they would’ve burned down the nation. But the calculation was made that we can stick our thumb not only in the Christian’s eyes, we can stick our thumb in God’s eyes. We’re stronger, we are more powerful than the God of the Bible.

Michele Bachmann:         That’s what they were saying. When the LGBT community was used as the front group to debase and abuse the things of God, the holy communion where Christ, the night before he was crucified, he was at taking this supper, the last supper, and this was the blood and the body of Christ, part of the covenant. This is the most sick defilement that we can imagine. There’s nothing cute, there’s nothing funny. This wasn’t creative or innovative. This was as old as sin in the garden of Eden. And that’s what we saw all of history eventually comes to a circle and comes back to its point of origination. And this says to me, Sam, that we are coming so close to the end times and that’s why all of our listeners, we need to get our lives right before God in every area so that when he comes back, he will be riding on the white horse, the true right horse and he wants to find a bride that is prepared for his coming.

Sam Rohrer:       And Michelle, that’s how I look at that as well. Ladies and gentlemen, these things are happening. And again, as Michele said, not to be perplexed and again why we talk about on the program so much biblical prophecy, the Lord himself is don’t be perplexed. These things must come to pass, but our eyes should be open so that when we see pages of scripture being fulfilled, as in a Psalm two, they lift their fist against the God of heaven and these global events that of the matter of the sports we saw there, it wasn’t accidental. Oh no, not at all. That we do not become well hurt, but don’t put it that way or think that, oh no, but that we actually say, you know what, Lord, you are coming is soon you’ve told us about this. So let’s get our house in order. As Michele just talked about, Michele, one other item that I just talked about, let’s bring up the United Nations.

Sam Rohrer:       I think of the Olympics somewhat as the global portrayal of the prowess of man. It comes out of the Roman time to Greek era. We know that. And it was never about God, although there are many Christians that are apart that are participants and thank the Lord for them because even in the midst of that we’re to be in the world but not of the world. And I’m sorry for those that were apart, that were taken over by this beginning of that, the way they opened that event up. But the United Nations, again, we talked about, started the program with it. United Nations are going to have an event in September, which the Jerusalem Prayer breakfast coincided with it. But that United Nations is the nations of the world. It is global and they have never been about God either. Anything happened since our last conversation with a World health organization or the United Nations that’s coming up here that makes the September gathering in New York City so noteworthy.

Michele Bachmann:         Yes, the World Health Organization negotiators have been meeting to put forth the global pandemic treaty outside of the normal meeting because they’re serious about moving toward one world government. Also, there’s been a meeting recently to give permission for the next wave of a pandemic, which is Avion flu. Yes, the Avion flu. The bird flu and that it appears to be the next covid that is going to be pushed out. And so there was just recently a meeting to make regulation decisions regarding that. We’ll talk more about that in the future. But I want to say that when the UN meets which they meet annually in New York City on the 21st of September, the Jerusalem Prayer breakfast will be meeting in New York just prior to that. That’s why it’s so imperative that believers come together. This is probably the most important time when Israel needs us in prayer.

Michele Bachmann:         And we gave you an incorrect address. I want to encourage everyone who’s listening, whether you’re planning to go to New York or not, go to jpb. That’s Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast jpb ny for new york.org. Jpb ny.org. I think we had said.com. It’s jpb ny Do org and request an invitation. It’s an invitation only event, but we want you to go there to jpb ny.org and request it. If you’ve never gone to a conference before, I urge you to this conference. We are looking at the shadow of the election in America. We are looking at this unbelievably important meeting that would be happening at the UN. They actually want to put in place global government, just go to their website, summit of the future of the United Nations. So Christians need to pray. We need to humble ourselves and recognize the perilous times that we live in, but not again out of fear because we are to fear not. We need to come together and powerfully proclaim the word of God together over Israel, over the United States, over our elections, over our own family. We need to come together in this city that has defiled the word of God in New York. Let’s come together by faith@jpbny.org. This is the time to gather together. I’ll be there, Sam will be there. This will be the Jerusalem Prayer breakfast in New York City and it’ll be an opportunity for 2,500 people to unite in one spirit and pray and cry out to God.

Sam Rohrer:       And with that ladies and gentlemen, stay with us. We’ll be back. We’re going to move now from France where we talked about events there. We’re going to go to the Middle East Turkey, if you are not aware, just yesterday threatened to invade Israel. You heard me right? Michele and I are going to talk about what that means, what that could mean in other things that are happening right now in the Middle East. Well if you’re just joining us now, we’re exactly midpoint in the program today. My theme is this, a World in Rebellion, special guest, the honorable Michele Bachmann, you all know her. She was a congresswoman from the state of Minnesota and she was a past candidate for president and she’s now down as the dean of the Robertson School of Government with Regent University. So if you did not know that, now you know a little bit about what she is doing.

Sam Rohrer:       And so glad Michelle, you’re spending some time with us here today on the program highlighting some of these major issues. But let’s go on, as I said before, let’s go to Turkey because just yesterday Michelle, and I’m going to give just a quote here and then ask for your comment, but President Erdogan of Turkey literally threatened Israel. Now this is exactly ladies and gentlemen, as what was posted on Reuters news service this morning. They said this, president Taye Erdogan said on Sunday yesterday that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in Libya, in Nagorno Karaba. Though he did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting. Alright, now that’s what we know. Now at this juncture, at the point of that article as I read it, Israel had not responded. Evidently Reuters had contacted them, but they chose not to respond at that point then that was some, it’s probably what, 24 hours maybe since that point yesterday. So some things have happened, right? So Michelle, let’s go here. What can you share about this threat? Is it just an idle threat? Erdogan has been hostile to Israel for a long time, we know that. But what’s it mean to Israel? And let’s stop there at that point.

Michele Bachmann:         Well, for the leader of a nation, Turkey is not a small nation. And I want the listeners to realize Turkey is member of NATO. And under NATO, when one country is attacked under Article five, the other nations that are part of NATO are duty bound to go in and protect that nation. So if Turkey decides they want to invade Israel, the United States would be in the very strange position of being duty bound to protect Turkey. So does that mean we fight Israel? This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. And so you’ve got the president of Turkey actively, openly threatening to invade Israel in support of the Palestinians. That’s why this is so bizarre. He said, and I’m going to quote, we must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to Palestine. And as you said, just as we entered Libya, et cetera, we might do the same to them to Israel.

Michele Bachmann:         There is nothing we can’t do. We must only be strong. But because of them belonging to NATO, when they make crazy statements that they may back up with actions, we are put in this terrible position. So then will NATO break up? What will happen? I don’t know. But what this says is we’ve got someone who’s increasingly unstable as the head of Turkey. Turkey has a lot of people, they have a lot of money and they have arrangements. They have a very close alignment that they began several years ago with Russia and now with China. And so as you look at Ezekiel 38 and at the war in Ezekiel 38, again, we know that that comes from the north against Israel. Turkey is a part of that coalition that comes against Israel. So whether I’m not predicting this is Ezekiel 38, we don’t know. But this is incredibly hostile language, irresponsible if it’s not meant to be literal, that is being used now at this particular time.

Michele Bachmann:         And so if we had a real president, and with all due respect, I don’t see Joe Biden as a real acting president, but with President Joe Biden with Vice President Harris, they need to be put on the carpet under the light right now and be asked, do you support what President Erdogan said? Will you follow Article five mandate under the NATO agreement? And would the United States backup up Turkey in an event of an invasion? This is an overt hostile call for an action by Turkey. We’ve moved to a whole other level right now and that’s why this is extremely consequential, these words. This isn’t just an open threat, this is consequential. If Donald Trump was president today, Erdogan never would’ve said those comments. And if he would’ve, he would’ve been shut down within five seconds of uttering those words.

Sam Rohrer:       But that’s not the case. And we have a bold individual in Erdogan, ladies and gentlemen, don’t forget this as well. He has made it very, very clear in the past that he aspires to being the head of a resurrected Ottoman empire. He has made that very clear he wants to be the leader of the Islamic world. I don’t know what that in his mind, the thinking and what all is imagined. But when any head of state with the military power of a Turkey who is mentioned directly in scripture as being hostile to Israel threatens Israel, alright, our ears need to perk up. So that’s why I mentioned that. Just need to keep our eyes open. Northern Israel though, Michele, Hezbollah just recently fired, directed missiles into a civilian population, not a military target, basically to kill people. Bad, bad move. Israel has not yet responded to my knowledge at this moment, but it’s also seems to me what I’ve read this morning that I ran somebody from rain has confirmed that they have put in the hands of Hezbollah electromagnetic frequency, EMF equipped missiles that would have the ability if fired to shut down Israel’s radar.

Sam Rohrer:       This really is ramping up right now, and it appears from what I’m reading this morning, that France airline and Lufthansa from Germany and all that are not putting any more flights in and out of Beirut because they suspect something. Alright, your inside information, what else do you know? Can you add to this? And what do we think’s taking place soon here with Hezbollah to the north there in Israel?

Michele Bachmann:         Well, and Sam, what you’re talking about is EMP. And what EMP is, is electromagnetic pulse. And this is an incredibly powerful weapon, a bomb if you will, that is meant to explode over a region. Once that explodes in the air, in the atmosphere over a region, it completely burns up all electronic communications. It throws an area back into the stone age, if you will. And if Iran has given this capability to Hezbollah and there’s an agreement that it will be used, then Hezbollah needs to get that bomb up in the atmosphere over Israel. All it would take is one bomb that would be ignited, employed over Israel, and then all of Israel, presumably if the hardware works, it would fry the entire electronic infrastructure in Israel, meaning cars wouldn’t work anymore, cameras, TVs, nothing electronic would work anymore. So therefore the next thing that would happen, the second step would be a bomb over Israel that would decimate the people and decimate the land and take it out.

Michele Bachmann:         Now we’re talking about the absolute last final case scenario that is wiping a people and wiping a nation off the map. Could they be that crazy? Well, we have been told how many times this spring that Iran is just weeks away, days away from having a nuclear weapon. The one thing we do know is that the Ayatollah has made it clear once they have a nuclear weapon, they will use it. That’s why the most sane thing any nation could do would be to take out the nuclear facilities that Iran has. This is the moment that we’re living in. I mean it sounds like this, the words I’ve been saying are absolutely lunatic crazy, but that’s the moments that we’re living in. Most nuclear powered nations or nations that hold nuclear weapons, they’re sane enough not to use them. Iran is not that nation and Iran has been financing all of the nations that are around Israel.

Michele Bachmann:         That’s why it’s been so perplexing that Joe Biden and Barack Obama have frankly given 200 billion to Iran during the course of their presidencies that has allowed Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, the Syrians, and Iraq, to make these forays against Israel together with Turkey. They’re increasingly emboldened because Iran has the money and now the wherewithal to actually do what they’ve said they’ve wanted to do for decades. And that is to kill the Jewish people and annihilate Israel. So they may be at the point when they actually have the hardware, the lethal bomb to do this, and they might believe that they’re in a position that they would survive a nuclear strike. So all of this is more reason why we have to pray. It’s why we’ll be beating a New York city to pray. And again, we’re at a moment that the Bible has talked about and we’re the privileged ones as the prophets say they long to live in these days. So are these perilous times? Yes. But we’re also the privileged people on earth to live in this moment, the most alive moment in history so that we could be praying into this, watching these signs. There is more reason to be glued to our Bibles than ever because we’re literally seeing the truth of the Bible happen on almost a daily basis in our newspapers and on television and the internet.

Sam Rohrer:       Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you heard that. And again, isn’t it an amazing thing to be able to be in the midst of all that we’re talking about? Not making any of this up, it’s all real. It’s big, but not being driven to anxiety. Only when we know Christ is our savior, fully, truly can we in the midst of storms, be asleep in that boat because the master is with us. We understand that that’s the important application we hope to pass along. So when we come back, we’re going to talk again about further prayer and we are going to pray for our nation, for Israel and more. Well before we embark on our final segment, again, just a reminder to those who are listening right now, that these programs, this program, the one you listen to now stand in the gap. Today is only one of many that’s allowed us to do our stand in the gap minute programs, which you always hear one in the middle of this program, but it’s also on 800 other stations across the country and in Europe in multiple languages.

Sam Rohrer:       That minute program, this program, the weekend program that’s on over 800 stations in this country as well, as well as our Stand in the Gap TV programs, all of those are available in archive form on our website, stand in the gap radio.com. And if you have not downloaded our app, I encourage you to do that for those who you are able to and have a smartphone that you can put stand in the gap in there and then you can access all of those in addition, as we’ve been saying for some time, been very, very helpful to a lot of people, is that a transcript of this program, not the other ones, but a transcript of this program is posted generally within 24 hours of this program airing. And you can find it on the website that allows you to go in. You can read what’s being said, you can compare what’s being said, a lot of information.

Sam Rohrer:       Oftentimes there’s too much to write down, you can go there and it’ll help you. And all of these things you can forward to a friend and I would encourage you to do that and let them also know where they can hear truth. Alright, that being said, Michelle, we started in New York, the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast. I want you to give that site again, JP B, I’ll give it JP BN y.org. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go there, but the event will be September 15th and 16th in the big apple. If you are able to go, you can that you can find out there. If not, most of it, I believe it will be available live streamed or if not live streamed delayed slightly. But you’ll be able to find most of what’ll be done there also that way. Now Michelle, any further comment about that that you have not already made? And then let me just ask you this question, when the Lord led you and a few others to actually begin the Jerusalem prayer Breakfast, which began in Jerusalem, was that eight years ago, whatever it was, tell the timeframe on that and then what has changed as you look at it from that point? And when you were motivated to begin an assembly, a gathering focused on prayer for Israel and Jerusalem, what has changed between now and then that perhaps makes the need today, if anything greater than it was perhaps when you started?

Michele Bachmann:         Well, God is a Redeemer God and he is allowing nations to be redeemed regarding their viewpoint toward Israel. Jerusalem Prayer breakfast began on June 6th, 2017. That was the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem coming back into the hands of the Jewish people during the sixth day war. And that was an answer, a fulfillment, a prophecy from the book of Ezekiel that once again, that Jerusalem would come back. That’s the day that Jerusalem prayer breakfast was born. And since that time we’ve held Jerusalem prayer, breakfast literally all over the world to the uttermost parts of the earth in Australia and New Zealand and those areas all over the world. Now we’re really holding it for the first time in New York City. Why New York City? Why at this moment? Because the United States the largest nation, most powerful nation in the history of the earth. This is the critical hour for this nation.

Michele Bachmann:         It’s also the critical hour for Israel. And so September 15th and 16th is the lead up to the US election. It’s also the lead up to these fall events that are happening in Israel. And it is the lead up just before the United Nations meets when they intend to deploy global governance through this summit of the future. And that’s why we are calling 2,500 people to meet in New York City for the purpose of agreeing in prayer according to the word of God, to pray for the peace of Jerusalem because out of Zion, that’s where the law comes from. So we are asking for God’s blessing to come out of Zion on the United States, but we first begin by blessing Israel and the Jewish people and Jerusalem. And so again, that is September 15th and 16th in New York City. And go to jpb y.org and then request your invitation. We have seen literally miracles occur at every single Jerusalem Prayer breakfast. I have no doubt at this crucial hour we’ll see miracles in New York City as well. And we want to urge people to, if you’ve never attended one before, request your invitation, join us this fall. It will be powerful. And New York needs this blessing. They need to bless rather than curse. We all need this blessing. And God will be fulfilling prayer He does every time he’ll be answering prayer in New York City as well.

Sam Rohrer:       And with that, Michelle, nothing more appropriate than to close this program in prayer. Why don’t you pray first if you don’t mind, and then if there’s time, then I will close this program. Can we do that? Please?

Michele Bachmann:         Oh Lord God, you are the God of Israel. You’re the God of the word, your name. Jesus is the word. And so Father, we come to you now on the basis of your word, standing by faith squarely on your word, unashamed. Unapologetic, because we know who you are. And so Father, we ask that you would be glorified and magnified in this day more than ever. I pray for this network that we’re on stand in the gap, that you would bless this network and that you would expand its boundaries that you might be glorified. Lord, we see that we are in the last of the last days. And so we ask that you would find us faithful. Father, we pray for these world events, particularly for Israel as the nation surrounding her and beyond have declared war upon her. Satan declared war upon Israel because that is covenant.

Michele Bachmann:         And so Lord, we say that we stand with you, with your word, with your purposes. And we decree and declare that the word of the Lord will be performed in accordance with the word of God. Because you are omission. You are all powerful. And we thank you God for that. So we pray in this moment in particular for the family of Nathan and Amber Kissler, for Dave ER’s family. In their sorrow, we weep with those who mourn. And we ask, Lord, your grace and your mercy to be poured out upon that family. We ask your grace and your mercy to be poured out on the United States of America and your grace and mercy to be poured out in Israel in this hour of pending darkness. Lord, that you, the powerful one will calm the people and that you’ll bring about miracles, Lord, in this day for their protection in Jesus name

Sam Rohrer:       And heavenly Father, as we close this program now, it is such a privilege, Lord, that you’ve given us to come wherever we are around the globe as people are listening to us right now, wherever they may be listening, Lord can lift up their hearts together, united in your spirit and entering into your throne room. Lord, you’ve told us to come with our needs. Michele has mentioned many of them. Lord, we also know in scripture that we’re told so many times, Lord, we don’t even know how to pray because of all of the things that are unfolding. But this Lord, we do pray that your will would be done that those who are listening to us now who know you would commit within themselves to living more holy, more obediently, more fervent in their standing for truth so that those around them can see the light of the gospel, which is our purpose for being here. Lord, wrap your arms around Israel and all that’s happening there, and Dave and Betsy and his family, Lord, all that we’ve lifted up, we put in your hands praying for your perfect will to be done. For this, we pray in Jesus’ name, amen. Michele Bachmann, thank you so much for being with us today. God bless you and your activities and efforts. And ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being with us today. Go forth from this, take this information, be encouraged, and stand in the gap for truth.
