If you are looking for me to give you an easy answer, forget it. But, if you want a rock to build on—if you want a truth that will stiffen your resolve and give you a backbone—if you want to hear some reasons for fighting, then read on.
Here are the two things you must do first:
-You must never let go of your faith in an American miracle. No matter how this looks. No matter how impossible it may seem. You must never let go of your faith in that miracle.
-You must face the facts of your current situation, no matter how brutal they seem.
Here’s why those two things are so urgent. This election is a test. It is a bitter test. It is a trial that goes to the very core of your soul. To pass this test, you must never give up. God and Satan have dramatically opposite purposes for this test.
God wants to use it to forever settle it in your life that it was God, and only God, Who got us out of this mess. God wants to use it to place you in the middle of the victory, and the celebration of that victory.
On the other hand, Satan wants to use it to permanently destroy your faith in miracles. He wants to humiliate your intercession, as well as your stand against abortion and immorality.
But, the most important thing the devil wants to do is to make sure you miss the victory celebration. Only those who stand against the storm—the vicious lies—and remain at their post, even after we have passed all the human deadlines, will feel the joy of our final victory. Proverbs 14:10 says, “The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not share its joy.” Only those who suffer now, can celebrate then.
Now read this…
Once during a lady’s luncheon at a large church, some women were gossiping about the pastor. They had no idea that his wife was seated at the table behind them. One of the women claimed that the pastor had said something he should not have said. The wife spun around and said, “He never said that.” The lady who made the accusation retorted, “How do you know he didn’t say it? You weren’t even there.” The response of the pastor’s wife is the soul of this blog. She said, “I know him. He is incapable of making a statement like that.”
In this horrendous time—in this crime that stole an election—in this fearsome discovery of what Communist China is trying to do to us, I have a great hope. But my hope is not in prophets, prophecies, or even in Trump. My greatest hope is in the character of God. I know Him, and I know what He does in situations like this.
I know God. I know His character. Those who know God and trust His character, are the ones that Daniel said would thrive in the evil of the last days. “…but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Daniel 11:32). Those who will soon exploit this present darkness, know God Himself. They know Him even better than they know His prophecies. They know He always keeps His promises. They know He never fails!
For the last several weeks, many have been quoting this portion of 2 Chronicles 20:20, “Believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” This is found in the story of the great miracle victory that God gave to Judah and King Jehoshaphat.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have read 2 Chronicles 20. That is why it shocked me that I had never seen this before. Then I saw that the king’s hope for victory was in something deeper than the prophecy.
Read this portion of the chapter. See if you see it in Jehoshaphat’s prayer:
“10 And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir—whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them— 11 here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. 12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
Just as the pastor’s wife knew what her husband was capable of, so the king knew what God would do in a situation where Judah was helpless before a wicked enemy bent on destroying an innocent people. Jehoshaphat prayed, ‘Will you not judge them? Because we are helpless and they are utterly wrong.’
Do you understand that the prophecy Judah received was merely instructions about how to see victory? The king already assumed victory was coming—because of the character of God.
Joe Biden is a puppet, bought and paid for by Communist China. We have a flurry of despicable villains. From Democrats, to social media, to Hollywood, to name just a few. Now let’s look at what they have done. They have deceived. They have censored. They have committed great crimes.
Like Jehoshaphat, we have arrived at the same conclusion—a conclusion infinitely greater than any prophecy. Here’s the situation: We are being stripped of our freedom. We are hated because we have opposed the unspeakable horror of abortion. We are being forced to shut down, be vaccinated, and toe the line of socialism.
Say it with Jehoshaphat: “Will you not judge them? We have no might against this great host…but our eyes are on You.” Do not give up. Man does not decide the deadline, only God does.
David wrote, “O love the Lord, all you His saints! The Lord preserves the faithful, and plentifully pays back those who deal arrogantly. Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for, trust in, and expect the Lord! (Psalm 31:23-24 AMP)

Is anything too hard for the Lord? Lazarus was dead four days. Was it too late for Jesus to raise him from the dead? NO! Why? Jesus IS the resurrection and the life!
Absolutely! This is a testing time for both the church and the nation. God will have His way – and He is THOROUGH! “Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.” (Isaiah 46:9) He will have the glory for this.
Junglequeen:
Have you read an intercessor Book: “In one Accord” by Armin Gesswein, someone gave me a list looking for it; as never heard of anyone on her list.
No – but I have read and much admire Dutch Sheets “Intercessory Prayer”. I see “In One Accord” is on Amazon and available on Kindle.
Sorry, it’s “With One Accord in One Place”.
Amen!!
God is powerful! Jesus Christ paid the price! Holy Spirit is leading! The remnant is working! Hallelujah! Praise God!
Bless you Mario Murillo! God is well pleased with your work! Amen and amen!
I am so excited! I can’t wait to see how God will do it! My dancing shoes are on!
Jannene, pass out the shoes of the gospel of victory before they pass out!
Right on! Passed it on to many.Diane

I am concerned by the comment about when all human deadlines have past. I was believing that God was bringing things together for Jan. 6. Multiple Representatives and Senators are set to protest the election. Trump says he has masses of evidence to present. I was planning on spending time watching the procedures – on CPAN if I have to. It appeared that so many investigations were bringing up so much that was out in public now. Also there is the grassroots work of over 800 volunteers in Arizona who feel their work will turn the election.
But Jan. 6 is a human deadline and that makes me wonder about all the above that I have written. I wasn’t giving up faith – I was believing that God was leading in all this. Now I am afraid to watch what happens Jan. 6 because this blog implies that it will all fail! It is a human deadline that must pass by without the humans getting the victory???
So this is not our miracle coming – when everything is pushed into the corner of Jan. 6 and we look for God to get us out?? I have held on and prayed and held on and prayed, but I was thinking I would see things flip for Trump on Jan. 6. Am I now supposed to wait and watch that pass without a victory -which will be soooo painful to watch! I am supposed to watch for a totally God miracle after that date???
I will put my faith in that, if I am understanding what Mario M. wrote correctly. Do others of you see what he wrote this way??
Janet, many of us can feel the pain in your mind and soul over this… believe me, most of us have and are facing what I call “the night of the soul”… the thought of the traitors occupying the White House is more than we can bear. With that said, we must look at the bigger picture. January 6th is a human set date… God doesn’t work on our timetable, but His (praise His name!). The events surrounding Trump staying in the White House are going to bring glory to His name, and no one else’s. Our enemies will be shamed and will even have to admit (not all, but many) something supernatural has happened! Point is, EVIL WILL BE UNVEILED AND DEALT WITH. That’s why God set this up to begin with, so that the enemy would be revealed in all his ugly nakedness and be exposed to the world for who they are. Take heart… God isn’t through with America nor with President Trump. AFTER our Red Sea deliverance, we CANNOT GO BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL. Our churches must also be purged of cold and unbelieving pastors. The Spirit of the Most High will remake America from the ground up as we will be used mightily in these last days to spread the gospel to a lost world! There will be ministries set up by the Spirit that do not currently exist. I could go on and on, but the point is… God isn’t tide to our deadlines. Keep the faith regardless of what happens on January 6th!
Rafo,
That was very well stated. I add my agreement to what you said and say AMEN!
Praise God He is in charge!
Juanita
I agree, great comment, RAFO.
Very well said and I am sure you were Spirit led. 🙂 Very encouraging no matter what happens on the 6th.
Hi Janet! I know, the thing about human deadlines seems tough. But that is just the point; January 6th is a human deadline and God doesn’t go by those. He is in charge of time; He Is Not Late. When I was low on work and simply unable to pay my bills on time, I was horrified that God would do this to me. I had always tithed and never been late paying anything in my life. It was fear of Man He was eradicating from my very core. Christians I knew looked down on me. But I knew God, and hung on to Him. Deadlines passed while He was working for me. I didn’t starve, lose my house, the bills got paid, and I have more trust in Him than ever because of what He let me go through. You’ll see, America is just going through a huge test, so we will really know what it means to say “In God We Trust.” God has already put a lot of cracks in their plans, and He’ll blow them to smithereens at exactly the right time. And we will laugh and rejoice in our Great and Loving Father.
Janet, please watch the first 10 minutes of Judge Jeanine. I don’t watch Fox News anymore, but a friend sent this to me (it’s on YouTube) and I think it’s very important!!! It explains why no decision will be made on January 6th. I’m proud to say Senator Lankford is one of my Senators. 🙂 They are calling for an audit. A 10-day commission to find out what happened.

Thank you, Prayinginok, for this video; a real lesson and a help!
Brilliant – thank you! This is the spirit of America!
You are one pastor I can trust to speak the truth! You have not thrown in the towel because you know God’s heart! Keep speaking!

Janet Roy: I didn’t follow the prophets whoever they are, because of what was God’s Love Letter saying to us his WORD=BIBLE. Also, because of condition of our society “as the church goes, so goes the World” and the “world is predicated on lies”. My hope lies in God and for the sake of his HOLY NAME and who he is and he decides as he is in control of it all. As intercessor said, “God allowed all this”; heart conditions were revealed and wicked people and condition of the church and world at large period. As no one wanted to hear or believe, “satanist and pedophiles run the West” and here we are. Constitutional person is always saying to me, we have to get back to God and “We the People” need to take our Country back and that’s what Catherine Abbott Fitts confirms in her interview healthimpactnews.com, God Bless her for standing for Truth and Justice as the many who are in the fight. Mark Levin interview with Jaco Booyens, sobering.
https://www.thrivetimeshow.com/business-podcasts/fireside-chat-with-lin-wood-episode-3/ (here’s despicable villains).
It’s very encouraging to see the number of GOP representatives and Senators who have announced they will challenge the electoral votes on January 6th. Latest count is now 40 representatives and 11 Senators, including Ted Cruz.
Until just a few days ago, the situation looked bleak as no GOP Senator would commit publicly to oppose the electoral vote count (at least 1 representative and 1 senator are need to formally challenge the votes). Then Senator Josh Hawley announced on December 30 he would do so, and then the ground well of support began.
Miracle in the making? Only the Lord knows. But I still hold fast to the belief that God will turn this election on its head. How? I do not know, but He will.
“Trust the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).
God bless America!
Amen

Thank you Mario! When I read the title of today’s blog, an old hymn came to mind:
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand! My trust is in Him alone!
Amen prayinginok!

Dear Mario, Thank you, thank you for these posts. I was part of the 70’s Jesus Movement where I was saved and filled with the Spirit. I watched it , the outpouring, come with gre
I love you Mario and thank God for you. Your words are heaven sent. Our God is an awesome God and His mercies endure forever. It is impossible for me to believe/based on the character of God that our prayers against such evilness taking place will go unanswered. I am expecting God’s miraculous will to be done in this country for only He can and He will.
Amen! Mario is now preaching completely clear! Thank you for encouraging me to pray for him and God will do ALL the rest!

Lets’ stand firm in God and his ability to do a miracle for us with this election fraud and what we see factual is them trying to steal an election, and our feelings about this is outrage….but you know faith is what we live by and what we can’t see!
I’m still being God to do a miracle for our Country and our people…
Now it’s time to go to church. We never closed for the covid farce…
Our God Reigns!

The American church, along with much of Judaism, is like the church in Laodicea. They are asleep. They are rich. They have become lackadaisical.
Rev 3:
Letter to Laodicea
14 “And to the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of the creation of God.
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth,
17 because you say, ‘I am rich, and have acquired riches, and have need of nothing,’ and yet do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you will be rich, and white garments so that you can clothe yourself, and the shame of your nakedness is not revealed, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, so that you can see.
19 As many as are my friends, I reprove and discipline, therefore be zealous, and repent.
20 Look!, I am standing at the door and knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he with me.
21 Whoever overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Anyone who has an ear had better listen to what the Spirit says to the congregations!”
Amen!
I have been saying the same for over a decade, which is why I am not made comfortable in any church in my area.
Wow.. over a decade? So, you have been afflicting the “comfortable”, and “comforting” the afflicted? That’s a “comforting” thought!
Thank you so much!! I needed this! It’s lonely out here even w/in our own church family because they are willing to accept Biden as President now. Church is closed too! BUT OUR GOD is so very faithful. He brought my son through 18 years of hopeless addiction and made him a pastor today who works full time bringing other addicts to Christ! I KNOW THAT I KNOW the character of God and I stand on that His Word, His character and His faithfulness! Thank you again Mario! God bless you brother!!
Amen he is our only hope
American Christians should pray: "Lord bring very strong fear and confusion in the camp of the enemies"
because the Lord used this strategy very often in the Bible to fight against the enemies of Israel and bring
victory to Israel!
Gesendet: Sonntag, 03. Januar 2021 um 10:26 Uhr Von: "Mario Murillo Ministries" <comment-reply@wordpress.com> An: irmtraut.maibach@online.de Betreff: [New post] THIS IS WHERE MY HOPE RESTS IN THIS ELECTION CRISIS

Any soldier knows that when you let an enemy entrench themselves and build the kind of fortifications these demon operators have the battle will still have to be fought but the battle will not be easy.
And, the church in America *HAS* let the enemy build some rather strong fortifications.
It’s not confusion we need them hit with, it’s a nuclear spirit of conviction so overpowering they cannot stand up, and yes a spirit of fear if they don’t desist.
Let the spiritual forces of darkness some themselves no where except to the enemy…
A few poltergeists, a few hauntings? But, some won’t even be moved by that.
A few select angels wielding a fiery sword waking them in the dead of night. But, I fear some are even past that.
*STOP* praying God’s Comfort and protection over the enemy! Let God be true. Let Him loose on the enemy!
I still like that video someone posted, “Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God”
“Let patients have its perfect work in you” – James 1:4
Just like anything else if we believe God is going to do it.
I get easily distracted by vessels. I wanted to curb stomp Trump myself after being subjected to watching the 90 minute trial trial that was the first debate, but I still voted for him. Then there is sifting through prophecies by prophets with Black Friday blowouts and everything else not to mention the charlatans prophesying the same. Yet there are definitely some credible saying they heard from God on this.
I am cynical and think God would let his justice tarry past this election in the interest of some broader divine purpose. However what catches my attention is God making large numbers of Christians sweat something that is very important to them, while simultaneously knocking Trump down a few pegs and potentially dealing with a corrupt system. That looks like it is potentially God to me.
Should be “patience”
To God Be The Glory! His Glory Will Rain/Reign In This Nation!
History repeats itself. Read the story in the bible of David and Absalom. Very similar situation to what is happening now in this country. 2 Sam:13-18
God has brought us to the brink. He wants to know who has faith in HIM and who does not.
It may or may not happen on the 6th HOWEVER we must keep our faith in God ALWAYS AND NEVER GIVE UP.
He will bring about this victory in HIS TIME and HE WILL GET ALL THE GLORY!
Agree completely…never give up!
Is it the corporation U.S.A. that is in bed with CCP? but America the Republic under God is who we are praying to restore and save. Isn’t D.C. a separate city-state nation? like the Vatican is? Maybe President Trump needs to move the capital or close down the corporate, sold-out, satanic, sorcery deceiving, freemason, cabal, stealing, killing, and destroying of the thief using corrupt corporations to destroy America and Americans who are governed by Christ under God. Abba Father, we continue to ask for all the darkness and evil works be exposed; expose all traitors and treason; expose every dark agenda of the enemy; and reveal the Light of Truth to every heart and mind so we can do Thy Will on earth as in heaven. We take the whole armor of God: salvation, righteousness, truth, gospel of peace, faith, and the Word of God as a Sword of the Spirit. Christ Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, over all! America, be saved and restored as a republic under God, with God-given unalienable rights, freedom and liberty! No weapon formed against us shall prosper and every lie refuted and confuted! Christ in us is greater than he who is in the world! Nothing is too hard for God! We walk by faith not by sight! We know the end from the beginning in Christ; we know the beginning from the end in Christ, the Alpha and Omega! We take our Stand on the Truth! in the Life of the Spirit! knowing that God gets the last Word! Victory is assured in the Spirit; let us keep our prayers, supplication and thanksgiving to God our Father! Thank you God for sending President Trump and we are asking and thanking You for his second term! Our God is a miracle-working God, who makes a Way where there seems to be no way, who brings to life what does not yet exist! and brings to nothing what does! Father we thank you for four more years to be free to preach the kingdom of God and teach Christ and radiate His Light, freely worship, assembling together in the glory, to give God all the glory, now and is to come, forever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah!
Big amen Yvonne
Heart-felt Amen, NewHeaven!
Waiting on the LORD, having done all to stand, we wait well. Keeping up prayers for the Body of Christ to rise up as one, in unity of Spirit, bond of peace.
Speaking and saying what He tells us to speak & say: as Father in us does the work.
Blessed victorious new year to all?
yes and amen!
I cling – oh how i cling – to a faithful God despite what my eyes see or what anyone says. It’s not denial, but deliberately choosing to lift the eyes of my heart to the One who sees all and knows all and is JUST.
His ways are not our ways. His timing is not our timing.
Everything in me knows in this that His plans will not be thwarted by man’s evil plans. He hears our groanings in the Spirit. He will not turn aside from the fervent cries of His people.
If it can be explained or understood in the natural, it isn’t supernatural.
I’m reminded of The Chronicles of Narnia when Lucy is told about Aslan, “He’s not a TAME lion.” He will do this HIS way.
But yes, we must continue to pray, not just sit back and say it’s done.
By His grace, I will not have given up or given in until that happens, as much as I agonize at even the thought of this blatant theft not being dealt with by our Righteous Judge.
Abba Father, we pray for the courage and strength and perseverance of all those needed to expose the lie and expose those perpetuating the lie, and reveal the Truth and those standing for the Truth for all to see. We rejoice, again rejoice, the Lord is at hand, we make our requests known with prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving, and the Peace of God keeps our minds and heart in Christ Jesus. Thank you God our Eternal Father!
I have felt all along that this has to be a test, a huge test for the Church. It makes no sense otherwise, spiritually or in the natural. Too many unexplained occurrences-massive proofs everywhere we turn-and yet, nothing has happened, everyone has gotten off Scott free so far-a republican just said on a Fox show the other day-I tuned in for about a half hour to Fox-that Trump’s claim of a “fraudulent election” in GA is false. What is wrong with these people? It has to be Spiritual Warfare and God is using it to test our trust and faithfulness, also to make us to truly trust Him for everything else that will come down the pike in the coming years.
So true!
Marching orders from the Lord beginning with the last sentence of 2Chron.20, v21 and v22? Will the ambush of the Lord come against the corrupt Democrats?
“Praise the Lord,
For His mercy endures forever.”
22 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.
Yes, amen!
Standing firm. Unmovable. Believing in HIM. Thank you Mario! Love you! ❤️

This reminds me of that song,
“The Lord our God, in the midst of thee,
Is Mighty, Is mighty!
The Lord our God, in the midst of thee,
Is Mighty, is mighty!”
God is faithful. God is true.
There’s just something awesome, humbling about trusting in the Arm of the Lord.
Unspeakable Glory,
Revelations 15 the Third song of Moses, it’s beautiful.
Katie Souza has a teaching based on the book of Job about using the “treasury of snow and hail” to fight our spiritual battles. Maybe this has some relevance to what we’re facing with the fraudulent election too.
Anyway, it’s only two pages long, and well worth reading. I scanned and uploaded it, and here’s page one (see my next post for page two):

The same person that said, “Oh our God, will you not judge them?” said, “Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” The New Testament word on prophecies is “despise NOT prophecies.” And we are told to judge prophecies, not toss them out. The true prophet is the one that knows God the way that pastor’s wife knew her husband. If we are filled with God’s Spirit, we can judge the true from the false by the Spirit of Truth. We do need prophets right now, but we need the Holy Spirit to show us the right ones.
Growth must be according to God’s Word. Your message of “Don’t do this… Don’t do that” is not helpful. WASH with the water of the Word. The Church will grow with God’s Word, not criticism.
Hi Mario, it occurred to me today that if Joe Biden is inaugurated and his allies turn on him, as they will, Kamila Harris will be President and CCP will have successfully taken over USA without one gunshot being fired. Praise God He will not let that happen! His Word is Truth and He does not lie. Blessing and thanks for your encouraging words. JA
Praise Godfor the Holy Ghost
Yes, I pray this is so clearly an act of God’s mercy that He is giving us another chance to be the light He intended. That we have truly repented and turned from our wicked ways seeking forgiveness for OUR part in the condition the country is currently in. Once freed from this snare, may we go on to be an undeniable voice of the LORD in the world, no longer bringing scorn and mockery to His Name by OUR conduct.
“You must never confuse the faith that you will prevail in the end – which you can never afford to lose – with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” -Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, USN; Medal of Honor recipient, former running mate of Ross Perot.
