I am posting this for those who follow on this Zoom prayer thread, but aren’t on our text prayer thread.
Here are texts from last night as we found out the SC decision about the Texas lawsuit. They start with texts between another friend and me.
Friend of Jane’s: So it looks like any strong chance of votes being recounted is a moot point? The “window is closed” as Martha McCallum says on Fox News. No options left per another correspondent. I feel hopeless with regarding our govt.
Jane: What happened? I haven’t seen any new development. … I just saw it! I am sick!
Friend of Jane’s: Our country is in deep, deep trouble with our Supreme Court justices being that wimpy. I know there are consequences the SC will face for their decision (God doesn’t reward wimps), but we will suffer for it.
Jane: (Two teary sad faced icons.) I agree. Cowards. They should have had a trial and then made their judgment. They have deepened the division in this country and the distrust of the government. Big mistake.
Friend of Jane’s: I know God allowed this, and He’s still in charge, but it is hard to accept His plan. (Teary sad faced icon.)
Jane: Yes this is very hard. It smacks of darkness and evil. Especially serious with all that is coming out about China’s tentacles in our government.
Friend of Jane’s: I know! The ‘piles’ of evil continue to build.
Jane: John just said, “There is still time for a miracle.” …and that is certainly what it will take. I’m not going to stop praying until Jan. 20.
Friend of Jane’s: So true! I’m just feeling really disheartened.
Jane: Me, too.
Friend of Jane’s: Glad we’re seeing each other tomorrow to boost our spirits! (heart)
Jane: Yes. Me too. My friend Kay just wrote: The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is established; He will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. (Psa. 118:6-8)
Jane: She just added: Forgot verse 10: The wicked wll see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish. (two hands up icon)
Friend of Jane’s: This so helps! I need some serious meditation on these verses (praying hands icon)
Jane: Kay is on a role. She just sent to me and the ladies we pray with: 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! (Psa. 27:13-14)
–From this point, I (Jane) I am posting some texts from the prayer ladies’ thread because I was posting back and forth with my friend and with them at the same time so there was overlap:
Jane to prayer ladies: The Supreme Court did not take the Texas case! Said Texas had not standing, meaning Texas couldn’t prove we were hurt by other states.
person 1: Lord have mercy on us in these days especially!
Jane: Posted the SC ruling: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2020. ORDER IN PENDING CASE TEXAS V. PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL., The State of Texs’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot. Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a cas that falls within our original jurisdiction., See Arizona v. California, 89 U.S.__(Feb 24, 2020) (thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.
Kay then posted her verses (above)
Kay also wrote: Patience is one of the fruits of the Spirit!! We can wait.
(I’m not posting the various “Amens” that followed these posts.)
Jane: Just saw these on parler:
Jane: Watching Greg Kelly tape of his 6 pm show. Newsmax. It is helpful to hear what else is going on. Kelly says strongly it is not over by any stretch.
Jane: Rudy Guilliani just said that the SC didn’t accept the case because Texas has no standing (not that it didn’t have merit). Rudy said the President has standing to file a case like Texas’s, starting in the district courts in each swing state and I think he said they would. Jenna said similarly. RG said the point is that there needs to be a hearing for the American people to know the facts.
