'O Lord, fight for me! Harass the hecklers; accuse my accusers. Fight those who fight against me. Put on your armor, Lord; take up your shield and protect me. Rise up, mighty God! Grab your weapons of war and block the way of the wicked who come to fight me. Stand for me when they stand against me! Speak over my soul: “I am your strong Savior!” Humiliate those who seek my harm. Defeat them all! Frustrate their plans to defeat me and drive them back. Disgrace them all as they have devised their plans to disgrace me. Blow them away like dust in the wind, with the angel of Almighty God driving them back! Make the road in front of them nothing but slippery darkness, with the angel of Yahweh behind them, chasing them away! For though I did nothing wrong to them, they set a trap for me, wanting me to fail and fall. Surprise them with your ambush, Lord, and catch them in the very trap they set for me. Let them be the ones to fail and fall into destruction! Then my fears will dissolve into limitless joy; my whole being will overflow with gladness because of your mighty deliverance. Everything inside of me will shout it out: “There’s no one like you, Lord!” For look at how you protect the weak and helpless from the strong and heartless who oppress them.'
We know we do not fight against flesh and blood. This is a spiritual battle. And the Lord can change hearts and situations to bring us favor and victory. This is my prayer -- that wicked intentions will not succeed and weak willed legislators will get a backbone to do the right thing. That the angel of the Lord will bring us outrageous victory after outrageous victory as we finish out this round of the fight. I truly believe the members of LACAG, the listeners of this show are partnering with the Lord for victory as we pray, worship, live in faith, in thanksgiving and take action!!
