The LORD Is on My Side

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

Let Israel say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”

Let the house of Aaron say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”

Let those who fear the LORD say, “His loving devotion endures forever.” In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered and set me free.

The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

The LORD is on my side; He is my helper. Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off. They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off. They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.

Shouts of joy and salvation resound in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD performs with valor! The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!”

I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done. The LORD disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and give thanks to the LORD.

This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.

The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I will give You thanks.

You are my God, and I will exalt You. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever. Psalm 118 (Berean Standard Bible)

FOUNDER’S MESSAGE

Sorry to all readers for the lateness of this posting; it could not be helped. This past week I have been moving from the city I have called home for nearly 40 years. I am offering my life to God on a deeper level after so many of those years. So, I am following the calling I have received. I am not totally sure where it will lead at this point, and I have become more internally aware of how the Hebrew people felt as they questioned and wrestled with the life-altering move that they would make. For me, many changes are already occurring before I even get to my mountain of “motivation” or “activation.” I view it as a journey of faith to one degree or another.

Since I will be in the process of moving for another two weeks, and since I am on the road today, this message will be brief. We have mentioned much about the outcome of the 2024 election as it provided answers to numerous questions. As I have mentioned previously, in my humble opinion, that outcome was a cooperative endeavor which involved God, Donald Trump, and the American citizens. The victory of those clearly on God’s side shows up as the citizens clearly discerning good from evil during this period of our nation’s history. And, it enabled Trump to appoint righteous people to his cabinet. However, this is truly a time in which Americans need to realize these next two to four years still represent a cooperative endeavor between Donald Trump and the American citizens, but most especially our Heavenly Father. The work is great and will require much of all involved. God has extended to us His o God for Grace and Mercy despite the evil emanating from our nation. We need to repent for the past inequities and evil manifestations we as a people have allowed and tolerated. Then, we must support the process of justice being brought throughout the nation and trust God in all His ways.

In line with those observations, this Sunday’s edition of LightWing Messages features another message from Maria Tonello of the Strike Force of Prayer. She offers more biblical passages as guides for prayers in her message today: “OPENING the GATES of JUSTICE!.” Just as Hebrew people had to challenge and fight for the land God promised to Abraham, it is common sense that there will be significant battles before the American people as we move forward to reclaim the land that God once gave us. It was not easy for the Hebrew people as they moved onward to take the land that God had promised them, and it will not be easy for Americans to do this either. As I have indicated previously, as a people, “we still require a true covenant between God, His central champion or leader, and the people’s real willingness and efforts to abide by the leader’s guidance that God has appointed. Yet, true leaders inspire and enable the people; they do not stifle the people.” May it be God’s Will that will prevail in such a time as this.

Editors’ Note: We hope readers could receive as many of the features and wise perspectives that may be of interest.

It is important to receive God’s blessings and fruit that continue to come as a result of the 2024 election. It is also just as important to maintain a vigilant awareness and prayer focus to protect the efforts being made during this time of the new Administration – an eradication of the damage that was done to America as we are proceeding to move past the past.

These words are being freely offered to you – intended to shine light unto our paths, as written: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - (KJV)

May God bless our readers & their loved ones. May God be with All His Children!

May we who are called by His name, humble ourselves, seek His face, repent, turn from our wicked ways, no matter how innocent we may deem them to be, and focus on what is most important to God. May we seek to know more His Will and to practice more His need for all of us His Truth and His Will. May we seek His righteousness, especially to seek His Kingdom first in such a time as this.

OPENING the GATES of JUSTICE!

By Maria T. Tonello of Strike Force of Prayer - April 2025

“Open to me the gates of righteousness (justice); I will go through them,

And I will praise the Lord." Psalm 118:19

We pray for God to release His justice, that “justice on the wicked is mercy on the righteous.” Justice is the way to purification which leads to sanctification. We intercede for justice that America will be sanctified to our Creator, that its government will rest upon the shoulders of Yeshua.

We Pray….

Dear Heavenly Father, Abba, we come to You today as Intercessors standing in the gap for America, asking You to open the floodgates of justice to all the lawbreakers, the criminals; to purify our country, our culture, our lands of lawlessness, godlessness, wickedness; to sanctify our country as one nation under God, in harmonious and loving peace.

We present to You Your Word as promises of hope, grace and mercy; to bring forth a cleansing and healing to our land. As Matthew 7:14 declares: “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.”

A Spirit of Justice

Dear Father God, we ask You to put a true spirit of justice in all those in the current Administration who oversee law and order, justice and fairness. Give them the discernment, backbone, strategies, tools, resources, protection, and incontrovertible evidence to charge, arrest, convict the rampant law-breakers throughout our society, throughout Washington, DC, both foreign and domestic.

YOUR fairness. For Psalm 99:4 says: “O mighty king, lover of justice, you have established fairness.”

A Mighty Flood of Justice

Dear Father God, there is now a momentum and certainly a pent-up demand

and need for justice. Justice on all those who have been entrusted to keep our country safe, yet have sold us out to our enemies and intentionally flooded our country with criminals; stolen from America and Americans.

Just Judge Adonai, as in Amos 5:24, “I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.” Only then can we heal and move into fulfilling our God-destiny as a nation. Only then can rule-of-law be restored to America. Only then can righteousness be the foundation for our nation and culture.

Turn Courts into Halls of Justice

Dear Lord God, we are seeing and have been seeing for a long time, the downward slide of our court systems, so-called justice systems; corrupt and even criminal judges; good called evil and evil treated as good. This cannot stand! We renounce it! We rebuke it! In Jesus’ name!

We pray Amos 5:15, that you will turn our courts into true halls of justice: “Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will have mercy on the remnant of His people.”

Cut Off the Evil!

Dear Heavenly Father, the liars and deceivers are everywhere. They propagate lies knowingly and intentionally to sow discord, violence and chaos. Please Lord God, cut OFF their evil now! Take out their broadcast licenses! Remove them from power and bring them to justice now! In Jesus Yeshua’s name we pray! We declare Isaiah 29:20-21, that

We declare Isaiah 29:20-21, that “The tyrant shall be no more, the scoffer shall cease to be; all who are ready for evil shall be cut off, those who condemn with a mere word, who ensnare the defender at the gate, and leave the just with an empty claim.”

Heavenly Father, this Word perfectly describes the deceivers that are rampant throughout our culture now. Cut off the evil Lord God! Cut off the evil now in Jesus Yeshua’s name!

Just Judge Adonai, we declare Micah 6:12-13, that You will fulfill this now in America: “You whose wealthy are full of violence, whose inhabitants speak falsehood with deceitful tongues in their mouths! I have begun to strike you with devastation because of your sins.”

Set the Innocent Free

Heavenly Father, thousands of innocent people have been persecuted over the past decade, the past 5 years especially. Lives ruined, suicides, cruelty beyond imagination. We ask for You to restore the years, lives and families that have been lost and severely damaged.

We declare Psalm 146:7-8, “The Lord sets prisoners free; the Lord gives sight to the blind. The Lord raises up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous.” Heavenly Father set the innocent ones free; bring your righteousness to right the wrongs and heal the wounds.

From Proverbs 21:9 we say: “Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.” Especially Lord God, those framed and abused by rogue and lawless government parties.

Merciful Father, open your gate of righteousness, that the oppressed shall enter therein; as Isaiah 118:20 declares: “This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.”

Bring Victories That Testify to YOU

Abba Father, Your Word brings us hope. It strengthens and fortifies our spirits, our hearts and souls. It emboldens us to petition You to remove the lawless, the lawlessness, the violence and corruption, the satanism and godlessness from our lands. Replace them with Your order, Your harmony, Your grace, Your brotherly love and unity, Your prosperity and righteousness, Your families and relationships, ordered to Your perfection and good.

We declare Isaiah 60:18, that violence will disappear from our land; the desolation and destruction of war will end. Salvation will surround us like city walls, and praise will be on the lips of all who enter. Thank you Abba Father God, for removing violence from our lands and replacing it with brotherly love and harmony.

Take Care of Your Remnant

Dear Father God, we ask You to take care of your faithful remnant in this time of justice and purification. We are the seed sowing peace and righteousness.

For Your Word Zechariah 8:11-12 declares: “But now [in this time since you began to build] I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ declares the Lord of hosts. ‘For there the seed will produce peace and prosperity; the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will produce its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit and possess all these things.”

Thank you Loving Father God, for Your mercy and grace, for cleansing and healing our lands through Your justice. Hallelujah!

SEALING PRAYER:

"On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. “Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. “All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God— the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name.” Revelations 21:25-27, 22:14, 3:12
