Mario Murillo: Why I Have Changed the Way I Pray for America

How is it possible for Biden to do and say the things he does, with little or no backlash from America? We are watching the single fastest decline in the history of this nation ever, and it is all a result of its current leader.

Biden makes everything about race. He blurts out lies with impunity. Yet, for all of the catastrophic decisions that have come from the evil that resides in the White House, there is seemingly no consequence to him or his team.

The same lack of accountability applies to the media, which is acting in concert with Biden. As are the "woke" corporations that regularly commit grievous crimes against innocent people, and Silicon Valley, which is obliterating decency. The inmates are running the asylum.

I saw a taste of this under Obama's sad presidency, but it was nothing like what we see to today.

Sky News Australia reported this: "President Joe Biden's administration is keeping the 'racial narrative' going because it is the 'biggest smokescreen' to all its policies, according to U.S. political commentator Benji Irby. Mr. Irby told Sky News the country under Joe Biden at the moment is 'absolutely horrible.' 'The country is way more racialized than usual; everything's about race,' he said. 'Everybody's concerned about all types of slights and micro aggressions and the left are really taking over everything. We're in really bad straits here; it's not very good.'"

Mr. Irby went on to say, "The left and the Biden administration are fueling racial tensions and using it as a smokescreen. No one's ask asking about Hunter Biden and this new gun scandal, no one's asking about Joe Biden being bought and sold by China. No one's talking about the fact that China now has a larger navy than the US, and that China is making moves towards Taiwan, and is taking over our country as far as business is concerned. We're so busy enthralled in race, enthralled in fighting one another."

I had to go to God to ask for help. I write almost every day to warn people. I explain to leaders what we must do to counteract the bombardment of filth and falsehood that is showering down on us. But, most of all, I prayed.

I knew there was something more that I could do. I knew I had to learn a better way to fight back against this indefinable evil. Then I got my answer from the Lord, "I want you to change the way you pray."

The Holy Spirit let me see the demonic hedge of protection around Biden and the leftist agenda. This hedge is what is blinding millions. It is dulling the natural sense of danger and outrage that America should be feeling right now.

The America we once knew is under a spell. The focus of our prayers must shift to a declaration of war against those devils. We must cast them down. The Bible says we can. We can do it by preaching. We can do it by casting out devils. But our greatest weapon is to tear down this hedge with intercessory warfare.

Here are our key verses: "For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)" (2 Cor. 10:4-5, AMP).

I took those verses as a direct promise that the body of Christ has authority over the Biden hedge of protection. I felt a strange confidence, and I felt faith rising within me. I found myself asking and declaring specific things. I raised my hands to heaven and began to say, "The weapons I am using now will tear down strongholds!" I believe the power of God will move through prayer—mighty prayer:

— To confuse the media. Just as God came down and confused the languages at the tower of Babel, I declare that confusion and division will come between the leftist powers in the media and government.

— To derail the agenda of the Democrats, "woke" billionaires and China. According to 2 Chronicles 20:22-23 (NKJV), "Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another."

— To bring greater fire into the hearts of vessels of God as well as terrifying conviction upon lukewarm preachers, until the church rises as one voice to rebuke the workers of iniquity for their depravity.

Will this kind of prayer work? In Exodus 17, we see the model. Joshua went down to the battle, while Moses went up to the heights over the battle and raised the rod of God. Aaron and Hur helped to hold up his arms until the battle was won.

Moses was cutting off the demonic confidence of the Amalekites, just as cutting off the hedge of protection of the ongoing evil is how my prayer is now targeted.

This is no time to cave in to fear and anger. This is not time to fret about the future of our nation. This is the time to remember an old familiar friend: prayer. And not only that, but to see anew the power that resides in prayer. Let us unlock the power of this old friend to tear down impossible strongholds. We must funnel all the energy we used to expend worrying and being angry over the evil in our nation into a new way to pray for America.

Join me in prayer and, together with Lord of the armies of heaven, let's tear down these strongholds!
