Yesterday I couldn't wait to get in front of God in prayer.  I'd literally been feeling a bit sick the past few days, and needed desperately to be with Him and hear Him.

I'd organized and spread word to our local rural churches of a silent prayer-time beginning at 11, to coincide with the beginning of the inauguration.  "Silent," so we could listen to God, and hear what He is saying to us in this time.

The one friend who'd said she's be there e-mailed that she needed to be with a friend having surgery.  She's an honest person, so I know she wasn't just making excuses.

Nobody else showed up, but I didn't feel that mattered; and I was careful to cut off the lie of feeling I was "the only one who cares."  God has thousands of saints who see what's going on, and who are as heart-sick as He is at the ascendance of unrighteousness and lies.

It only mattered that I do what He told me, and trust Him for anything beyond that.  I did, and He was pleased to be there, and reassure me of His rule even over the rampant evil of this time.  After a couple hours in His Presence, I was reassured.  I drove home feeling a kind of established joy: He IS, He is with us, He is King.

I purposefully didn't listen to the radio all day, so I've heard none of the speeches, Trump's nor his "faith-leaders."  I'm curious what the latter might have said in blessing an unrighteous ruler, so I'll probably look them up later.

This morning, it just seems like "business as usual" again in America.  People's lives continue on an even keel, America is still the greatest nation on earth, and all's right with the world.  I'm sure the appearance of normalcy will reassure many, and lull them into still-deeper certainty that we haven't really crossed a determinative spiritual line, and there's nothing to fear.

I'm glad...with a great deal of trepidation...God's given me spiritual eyes to see the forces of evil we face: and given me the boldness to speak against them, and the compassion to speak reassurance to God's saints that His power is greater, and is with us.

Praise you, Beloved King !!  All glory to You !  Amen.
