Scripture Progress:

• Torah: Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11
• Prophets: Isaiah 40:1-26
• New Testament: Matthew 23:31-39; Mark 12:28-34

Move Forward Again

• 8.12 night-8.13 End of 21 days in the Dire Strait on the 9th of Av
• move forward again
• Isaiah 19, 247 starts

Mercy Triumphs over Judgment

• The seventeenth day of Tammuz marks the beginning of the “Three Weeks . ” This is an annual period of mourning during which the Jews mourn the destruction of the Temple and reflect on the reasons for their exile. It was a time of repentance and reflection, culminating in the fasting of Tisha B’Av in Hebrew , when both temples were set on fire (in 423 B.C. and AD 69). During this period, many tragic events occurred in Jewish history, so traditionally, Jews believe that leisure and joyful activities should be reduced during these three weeks. On the 9th of Av, people would gather in synagogues to recite Lamentations and reflect on the causes of these tragedies.
• In contrast, the seven weeks immediately following the 9th of Av and continuing through the month of Elul are known as the “Seven Weeks of Comfort” (Hebrew Menachem Av, meaning “Father’s Comfort”) period. The Hebrew word “Menachem” came from “Nachamu” in Isaiah 40:1 , “Nachamu ami” which means “comfort my people.” Interestingly, in Jewish tradition, there is a close connection between the 9th of Av and this passage in Isaiah. The Sabbath after the ninth day of the month of Av is called “Shabbat Nachamu”, and that day is read as “Haftara” (Note: In addition to the weekly segmented reading of the Torah, an additional section from the “Prophet” is added) A selected passage or passages) from Isaiah 40. It is shown here that God is the father of Israel, He comforts His chosen people, and “mercy triumphs over judgment” is the most important message of this period.
• I heard the Lord say, “Just because you can’t see, doesn’t mean I’m not working! Just because you can’t see any sign of the promises, doesn’t mean I’m taking back My words. Just because you can’t see the instructions and the direction, doesn’t It means I have abandoned you.”
• Says the Lord, “For this is the time that calls you to be like Elisha’s servant and seek that cloud the size of a man’s hand. This is a time when things seem unclear. This is a time when the atmosphere is full of whirlwinds. There are a lot of people who have lost their sight and they feel like they’re walking blind, but you’re not blind and you’re not in some obscure place of obscurity. This is a season that feels like I’m in the unknown, but I never have been. I’m more certain of My plans than I am now. I’ve never been more certain of the path that leads you forward. You just can’t see it yet.
• But I am leading you into a new season of clarity. I am leading you into a new season of vision and bold steps of faith. So get ready now, look to the horizon, and if you ignore all the chaos around you, you’ll see palm-sized clouds forming. On the brink of what appears to be the worst drought, plague, famine, and recession on earth, I am leading you into a season of rain. Yes, prepare yourself, look out to the water and you will see the rain coming. Start prophesying and make it come true. Just like Elisha’s servant who couldn’t see reinforcements in battle, I am anointing you now and opening your eyes to see the sights and spiritual realities of what I do in battle. “
• You will suddenly see great abundance where there was scarcity. Where you feel like everything is falling apart and doors are closing on you. You will suddenly see My provision and protection. Because I am setting you apart at this moment and seeing what I am doing. Because it’s not what you think. This is not what you imagine. The picture that the enemy paints for you is not a true picture, it is not a correct picture of the times. Because many have fallen into a torrent of fear and demonic propaganda telling them things are getting worse, but have they seen My glory? Did they see what I was doing? Can they feel the revival? Or do they just predict doom and destruction?
• Just as John the Baptist started a movement about authority, inheritance, and understanding of what is available in the realm of heaven, I call you to a place where the body of Christ can see the resources available to them and the authority they have not yet touched. You will give them eyes to see, and when they see, it will break down all strongholds, break down all limitations, and break the lies that the enemy has spread about the body of Christ to keep them cowardly in corners when they are called to arise and shine. Yes, this is an Isaiah 60 season , not a season of withdrawal, not a season of hiding, not a season of running away and being afraid. This is a time to lead the group and lead the Body of Christ into their inheritance.
• Even if the circumstances around you right now are preaching the opposite to you, I want you to reposition yourself and be prepared. I want you to go into your closet and see the coming rain with your spiritual eyes, and let Me tell you – the rainy season is coming! Will you be the bell ringer for this new day? Or will you be afraid and run away? Will you continue to believe in bad news? Or will you be in My inner sanctum preparing yourself for what is coming? Now, let that breakthrough new song burst out of you. Even in the moments when sadness tries to take over you, let that breakthrough new song burst out and you’ll see I’ve never been more in control than I am right now.
• So shake off the lies that try to suffocate you and the fatigue that tries to bury you in battles, and cry out until the rain comes!
  • We can’t rush the launch of new bread, as the new blueprint is still taking shape. Our attitude now must be one of rest and acceptance. Walking ahead of God will only build man-made things. Will have to wait for the full recipe.
  • We are in the season of fresh manna, but there is a temptation to mix the old with the new. We need fresh manna, not yesterday’s rotten bread!
  • Jesus is the Bread of Life ( John 6:35 ), and He wants us to focus on our relationship with Him now, otherwise, we will be malnourished and have nothing substantial to give to others.
  • This is the season to refill our lamps, God wants us to be in a state of overflowing. You can never have too much oil!
• I believe that over the next 5 months we will see two extremes in the body of Christ ;
  • A people will emerge with new revelations, strategies, and fresh heavenly manna that will lead us into a time of foresight and interception of the enemy’s plans.
  • Those who do not sit at His feet/mount the mountain of the Lord or prepare oil to light their lamps in 2024 will experience massive burnout. They were still busy, eager to use the old manna.
  • Please let this be a reminder to keep your focus on Jesus and fill up your tank so you can run in His strength in the days ahead! Manna will come. Guidance will come. The dots will be connected. Your steps will be steady. Just rely on His presence!
• Deuteronomy 3:24-27 O Lord God, you have shown your servant your mighty power. Is there any god in heaven or on earth who can act like you and do mighty deeds like you? Please let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, the good mountains and Lebanon. But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and he did not answer me. He said to me, “No more!” Don’t mention this to me again. Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes to the east, west, south and north, for you will not be able to cross the Jordan.
• God allowed this great leader who gave up his status as a prince in Egypt to join and save His people from slavery and gain freedom, but? Why was God so stubborn and did not give in to Moses at all, allowing him to cross the Jordan River and enter the Promised Land? Why did the Almighty deny Moses this small favor and let Moses die outside the borders of the Promised Land, on the other side of the Jordan River. He didn’t even get a proper burial and no one knew his grave. Was God cruel to Moses, or was God very kind to Moses?
• Every leader needs to know when to step down and allow younger leaders to take responsibility without interference. God instructed Moses to give the baton to Joshua, son of Nun. Moses got it right and Joshua accepted the challenge. Second, Moses sinned by ignoring God’s instructions and allowing his emotions and anger to strike the rock instead of speaking to the rock. This may not seem like a big sin, but in this case we see the Lord taking it very seriously, especially because of the questionable speech of Moses. Knowing that Moses was not good with words, God still commanded him to speak to the rock. Moses’ mistake was not to strike the rock with his staff, but to go back to the old Moses who lost his temper and killed the Egyptians in his old age ( Exodus 2 ). This act of flesh caused Moses to enter the hard school of being a shepherd in the wilderness for 40 years.
• Also if God allowed Moses to cross the Jordan with the Israelites it would show the people that Moses did not really accept nor fully trust the new leadership of Joshua and others like Caleb. These men had proven their faithfulness to God and their faith and trust in the Lord’s leadership of this newly formed nation that was ready to fulfill God’s promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses blamed the people for their inability to enter Canaan. This sadness and gentle anger against the Lord and the people was one of the wonderful and divine revelations that added to the greatness and humanity of this servant of God, Moses! He is not a perfect person. He is 100% human, possessing all of human greatness and all of human weakness. How wonderful that the Lord can use normal people to become great leaders and humble servants of the Lord and His people.
• I’m also glad no one knows about Moses’ tomb! Hiding the tomb of Moses was a great and divine plan of God. You can imagine what would have happened if the Israelites knew where Moses was buried! There will be temples, monuments, places of worship and museums to honor Moses. No, God did the wise thing and did not destroy Moses’ humanity and humility, retaining it even after his death.

Take Pride in God

• Deuteronomy 4:6-9 Therefore be careful and do it; this will be your wisdom and understanding in the sight of all peoples. When they hear all these laws, they will say: How wise and intelligent the people of this great country are! How can a great nation have a God as near to them as the Lord our God is near to us when we call upon Him? And what great nation has such righteous statutes and regulations as all these laws which I set before you today? But be careful and guard your soul diligently, lest you forget what you have seen with your eyes, and lest it depart from your heart during your lifetime; but pass it on to your descendants and to your descendants.

Survive by Obeying God’s Words

• Deuteronomy 4:1   Now therefore, O children of Israel, obey the statutes and judgments which I teach you, and obey them, that ye may live;
• Deuteronomy 4:4   But you who trust in the LORD your God will live today.
• Deuteronomy 6:6-9 Take these words that I command you today and take them to heart, and teach them diligently to your children. Talk about it when you sit at home, and when you walk by the road, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall also bind it as a sign on your hand, and put it on your forehead as a scripture; and you shall write it on the doorpost of your house and on your gate.
• Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Hear, O Israel! Jehovah our God is one Lord. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
• Israel, listen! These words that Jehovah, our God, is one Lord, are the highest testimony of the Jewish faith. Each word deserves careful study, but the first word – the verb Shema – deserves special attention.
• There are profound differences between the two ancient civilizations that formed Western culture: ancient Greece and ancient Israel. The Greeks were the supreme masters of the visual arts: art, sculpture, architecture, and drama.
• Jewish, as a profound religious principle. God, the only object of worship, is invisible. He is beyond nature. He created the universe and therefore transcends it. He is invisible. He reveals Himself only in words. Therefore, the highest religious act in Judaism is listening. Ancient Greece was a culture of eyes; ancient Israel was a culture of listening. The Greeks worshiped what they saw; Israel worshiped what they heard.
• What Hans Kohn said in his The Idea of ​​Nationalism. The ancient Greeks were “people with a sense of vision, space and shape.” It’s as if they want to transform the fluid, fleeting, ever-relevant elements of life into rest, space, and confinement. The Jew did not see as much as he heard. . . His organ is the ear. . . When Elijah became aware of God, he heard only a quiet, small voice. For this reason, the Jew never created an image of his God. “
• This is why the key word in the Old Testament is Shema. God is not something we see, but a voice we hear. This is what Moses gave this week in the Torah, describing the supreme revelation at Mount Sinai: Deuteronomy 4:12 The Lord spoke to you out of the flame of fire, and you heard a voice but did not see a form.
• Deuteronomy 7:7  The LORD has chosen you not because you are more numerous than other peoples, but because you are the fewest among all peoples.
• In Genesis, God promised the ancestors that their descendants would be as countless as the stars in the sky, the sand on the seashore, and the dust of the earth. Abraham would be a father, not just to one nation, but to many nations. At the beginning of Exodus, we read that when they went down to Egypt, the covenant family of only seventy people ” became fruitful and increased in population. They became so numerous that they filled the land” ( Exodus 1:7 ) . Three times in Deuteronomy, Moses describes the Israelites as “ as numerous as the stars in the sky” (Exodus 1:10; 10:22; 28:62). King Solomon called himself part of “your chosen people, a great people without number” (1 Kings 3:8) . The prophet Hosea said: “The children of Israel will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be numbered”). There is little meaning in humbleness; it is to highlight that God’s selection is based on love and not on the basis of numbers.
• God does not choose a nation for His glory. If He did, He would undoubtedly choose a powerful and numerous nation. His choice has nothing to do with honor, but everything to do with love. He loved the ancestors who listened to His voice; therefore He loves their descendants.

seven weeks of comfort

• Week 1 40: 1-26
• Week 2 49:14~51:3
• Week 3 54:11~55:5
• Week 4 51:12~52:12
• Week 5 54:1-10
• Week 6 60:1-22
• Week 7 61:10 – 63: 9
• The following is an application of seven weeks of dialogue between people and God – it is actually a process that can be recreated during these 7 weeks; as we seek to heal and grow through our challenges, losses and experiences, this Process helps us establish a dialogue with God.
• I should add that this system is relevant to all of us at all times. Even if you haven’t personally experienced a (recent) loss, all of us:
  1. Living in the same uncertain world requires healing.
  2. One must have sympathy for those who are suffering.
  3. You can and must always grow; even when things are going relatively smoothly, there is still so much more we can achieve. We all need a kind of healing and elevation from one level to another relative to our own level.

Week 1. Nachamu Nachamu – Companionship

First we need to comfort each other. If you are hurt, you must find friends who can comfort you. Turning to God is not enough. You need to find peers you can relate to and who you can relate to. Once something breaks, you have to rebuild it from the bottom up. We may not initially be ready for God to comfort us directly. We first need to create a suitable “container” that will accommodate us to receive God’s blessings and comfort.

Exercise : Find a friend, find a teacher who can hold your hand and help you get through this. Genuine and authentic people who can accompany you and then help you prepare for the next stage. And allow yourself to be a friend to others as well.

Week 2. God has Abandoned Me; My God has Forgotten Me – Consciousness

Once we do everything humanly possible to heal and comfort one another, we reach a new level of awareness and sensitivity where we can identify previously obscured blind spots and undernourished parts of our souls. In our newfound awareness, we cry out, “God has abandoned me; my God has forgotten me.” We feel a deep emptiness.

Exercise: Next time you cry, don’t cry just because you’re in pain and overwhelmed. Try not only to focus on the emptiness you feel, but to feel that your crying is also the emptiness of not feeling your connection to something higher than yourself – your connection to God.

Week 3 . There is no Comfort for Those who Suffer – Acknowledgments

Our cries reach heaven. We admit that we are not satisfied with comfort from men; even with the best intentions and words, we will never feel completely satisfied. We are not content with just settling our losses; we must not only be healed from our losses, but experience protection and have new inheritance and victory. We need to know that we don’t just relieve pain, but that it brings us and those around us – especially our loved ones and neighbors – to a higher place. It means that we drink from the Lord’s living water together and are joyful in our hearts. It even becomes a blessing to all nations.

Exercise: Be compassionate and sensitive to those around you. Acknowledge the emptiness of others and your emptiness will be acknowledged and comforted.

Week 4. I am the Lord who Comforts You – Reunion

A new divine power comes into your life (the first three steps to make it possible). This power brings us deep comfort from within, helps me know that I have a destiny in this world, a power that transcends and includes all life experiences, even painful ones. These experiences make me unique. This power is not mundane; it is divine, and it allows me to experience a profound peace – peace with my inner being.

Practice: Pray every morning, acknowledging that your soul is awakening in the new day. Declare your personal mission statement – ​​you are indispensable in this world and are meant to live out it.

Week 5. Sing in the Midst of Hardship, You who have not Given Birth – Rebirth

After the initial reconnection and corresponding comfort, we can begin to feel reborn and renewed. Even though we may feel “barren,” we learn to sing. Not because we accept our “barren” state, but because we learn to give birth in new ways. We learn new tools and methods – sometimes tools and methods like “bypass surgery” that open up new avenues of birth, even more powerful than traditional ones, ones that can lead to more babies. We expanded to a bigger place. As a result, we didn’t just sing, we composed a new song.

Exercise: Meditate on and internalize the text of this week’s prophetic book. God tells you “Do not be afraid, for you will not be ashamed…you will forget the shame of your youth and the shame of your widowhood…for your Maker is your husband…the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. Because God has called you as a wife who is forsaken and sorrowful, says your God. I have left you but a little while, but I will bring you back with great mercy. My anger will overflow and I will hide my face from you for a moment. My love has mercy on you.” Then sing a song to yourself about the blessings in your life.

Week 6. Arise and Shine – Rebuild

Even if we find comfort, the world around us can still be a dangerous place. It is not enough to isolate ourselves from the pain around us, we must also be able to feel safe in our environment. So, having been comforted personally and given the ability to be reborn, we now take comfort in our ability to transform and rebuild the world around us—even a world of darkness and uncertainty.

Exercise: Now meditate and internalize these words: “Arise, for your light has come, and the divine glory has risen upon you. For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and darkness will overshadow the peoples, but God will rise in you, and His glory will appear in you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the light of your rising… The nations will build up your walls… The descendants of your oppressors will bow down. Before you, all those who despise you will fall at your feet. They will call you “the City of God, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.” Even though you are abandoned and hated, and no one passes you by, I will make you an eternal majesty… no more violence in your land, no more desolation and destruction in your borders… your sun It will no longer set, nor will your moon fade. Because God will be your eternal light, your days of sorrow will be over. All your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; the branch I planted, the work of my hands…the least will become a thousandfold, the least will become a mighty nation; I, God, will catch up in His time . “Now, not only do you have to sing for yourself, but you also have to sing new songs with others.”

Week 7. I will Rejoice in God’s Presence – Reconciliation, Renewal

After these past six weeks/comfort, we have grown and acknowledged that growth. We got to the point where we’re now ready to give back. We do this – celebrate joy. “I will rejoice greatly in God, and my soul will rejoice in my God, for He has clothed me with the garment of salvation.” We promise to stay awake and alert – “For Zion’s sake I will not remain silent , for Jerusalem’s sake I will not stand still until her righteousness shines like a radiance…And the nations will see your righteousness, and kings will see the glory of the Lord.”

Exercise: Do your part to protect and defend the helpless. Speak up and take a stand. O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen on your walls. They will never remain silent day or night…Behold, God has declared to the ends of the earth: Say to the daughters of Zion: Behold, your salvation is come…They will call them “holy people,” God’s salvation; you will be called “praiseworthy,” a city not abandoned. Pray for Jerusalem and peace in the Middle East.

Conclusion

• Most importantly, remember that God is with us in all our pain. “He suffered with us in all our troubles…He redeemed us by his love and mercy; he lifted us up and carried us through all the years.”
• Now, let’s prepare to enter the New Year (a new 7-year cycle).

Prayer

• Ask the Lord to open our ears,
• Listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit
• Follow His statutes and advance to the Promised Land

Editorial Special Section : Anton Cruz: Urgent Call to Pray for Israel for 21 Days

Message:  Anton Cruz Date: August 5, 2024

This is an urgent call for all nations to join together at this time. We are so desperate and we need prayer. Only prayer can truly change the atmosphere and change the atmosphere of this war. I believe in the power of your prayers, and I need someone to rise up today and say, “I am willing to pray for Israel for one hour every day for these 21 days, to pray for peace, and to pray for the nations.”

We are at a very important moment. When we prayed for the last 100 days, many miracles happened. In short, we all see that beyond all this is God’s heart, which is full of mercy, and we see miracles happening. Now I believe in your 21 days of prayer, we are going to pray for Israel, we are going to pray for peace.

2024 is a year of decision. We need God and we need prayer. I’m telling you, this is a very, very important year and something is going to happen. If we pray, you will see God’s mercy coming. If you are not ready to get down on your knees and repent, you will see God’s judgment coming, but I believe this is Jonah’s time.

You know, today is not even 12 hours or 24 hours, something is going to happen. Iran is ready to launch a war. This is not just a war in Israel. This is the seventh year. Something is going to shock all countries. This is just the beginning. It may be a forecast. It may become three world wars. It is possible! But I’m telling you, when we get down on our knees and cry to God, we can stop it. We can bring about God’s mercy, and our prayers have great power. Children, arise! Young people, arise! Spiritual parents support and encourage them as they journey with our generation.

Thank you, we are going to pray for 21 days. I’m waiting for you! We need your prayers. Let us all join together, not just for Israel, but for the nations, for our next generation and our children.

Heavenly Father, we need You! We need your mercy! We are ready to stand in the gap and pray for the nations, to be a defensive wall before You. Thank You Heavenly Father, I thank You for those who are ready to make a covenant with You and join in prayer. I pray for them to have the spirit of Daniel and the anointing of Joshua. Thank You Heavenly Father. I pray to God that they will receive power and have Your glory in these 21 days. We need Your mercy, God!

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! God bless you!

Editorial Special Section: Lou Engle & Christy Johnston: “A 90-Day Call to Prayer for the U.S. Elections”

Message: Lou Engle & Christy Johnstona Date: August 9, 2024  Source : Elijah List

Editor’s Note: Christy Johnston is an Australian writer, prophetic teacher, and one of the best intercessors in the United States (even though she is Australian!). Dreams were nothing new to Christie, but few inspired the faith of countless intercessors like this one.

90 Days

On August 7th, our friend Christy Johnston had an urgent dream in which she saw herself calling for 90 days of prayer leading up to the U.S. elections. She knew it was a clarion call from Heaven that went far beyond the reach of her own sphere of influence. Christy then saw a tremendous response from the Ekklesia. It was a 2 Chronicles 7:14 moment. Hundreds of thousands of people from every nation were falling on their knees and crying out for the United States of America. She also saw hordes of demonic beings that looked like orcs from The Lord of the Rings movies. As she watched in the dream, their hands suddenly became shackled and their plans were interrupted by the power of intercession from the people of God.

Christy understood that this dream was not just about America, but about the nations of the earth. Meanwhile, there is a demonic agenda in the United States that must be stopped. When she woke from the dream, Christy contacted Lou Engle. They did the math to find out when 90 days before the elections (on November 5th) would be. It turned out to be this past Wednesday, August 7th, the very day she had the dream! Christy and Lou acted quickly to release a live Instagram message to herald this call to prayer. We urge you to watch it and share it far and wide. But if all else fails, just DO THE DREAM with us and pray each day for 90 days!

In the video, Lou explains how Psalm 149 is key to understanding the dream. The psalmist wrote:

“Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment—this honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!” (Psalm 149:6–9)

Lou believes that great principalities and powers are in a cosmic conflict over the elections and over Israel right now. There is also a battle over which ideologies are going to be loosed into these nations. Lou mentioned Derek Prince’s book, Shaping History through Prayer and Fasting, and how it tells of how “governments are shifted in prayer and fasting, as it was in the days of Daniel and as in the days of Esther.” Lou went on to say, “I believe right now God is saying, urgently, put high praises of God in your mouth. Carry it to your beds. Pray on your beds and declare the binding of kings and nobles, and the shackling of the principalities and powers, so God can actually establish His purposes” (both now and in these elections).

Christy and Lou addressed the principalities associated with the ancient goddess Ishtar, and the gods Molech and Baal, as mentioned in Jonathan Cahn’s book, The Return of the Gods. The premise of the book is that when America removed God from the public sector in the 60s, and in the 70s, then demons came back seven times worse to repossess the nation. Ishtar was the goddess of sexuality, homosexuality, prostitution, and transgenderism. Lou acknowledged that the influence of this unseen entity is being manifest on the ground level in our nation as never before. Even certain elements of the Olympic ceremony exemplified her perversions.

Lou also emphasized that when those in positions of authority make decrees and agreements with wickedness, or with righteousness, it opens portals in the heavenly realms—whether for evil or for good. For example, he explained that when the president awarded a transgender woman as “Woman of the Year,” he was opening a portal for transgender ideologies and spirits to come in and affect our nation. Knowing what a controversial topic this is, Lou said, “I would rather be controversial than to be halting between two opinions and missing the very moment that the Elijahs of God, and the Esthers of God, are being called into.”

Would you join us in these 90 days of intercession by setting your alarm to pray at either 4:14 AM or 4:14 PM? The time is based on Esther 4:14, which says, “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Also, our Nigerian friend, Folake Kellogg, had a dream in which the Lord told her, “You cannot have Esther 4:14 without Nehemiah 4:14.”

“And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, ‘Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.'” (Nehemiah 4:14)

We shudder to think of what will happen for our generation and the generation to come if we do not triumph over the plans of darkness in this hour of history.

So, at 4:14 in your own time zone, we ask that wherever you are you stop and take Communion. Stand in the gap on behalf of 1) Israel, 2) your own nation, and 3) America.

Years ago, the Lord told us in a dream that it would “honor the body and the blood to pray for His Israel each day before the sun sets.” Let us “execute the judgment written” by decreeing the Word of God and calling forth His purposes while, at the same time, decreeing the judgment of the Cross over powers and principalities. In doing so, over the next 90 days, we will be establishing national altars of righteousness and opening portals of God’s favor as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Additional Prayer Points

For those who would appreciate more guidance for your intercession, consider agreeing with us in the following prayer objectives inspired by Lou and Christy’s exhortation:

1. Let us pray for the restraining of the demonic principalities and wicked governments that seek Israel’s destruction and have brought death and suffering upon their own people. “Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O Lord! Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek my life; let them be turned back and confused who desire my hurt.” (Psalm 70:1–2)
2. Repent on behalf of your nation, Israel, and America, for every unholy agreement and blood covenant. Plead the better blood of Jesus and His greater covenant. Call for the dismantling of witchcraft and the occult in every sphere of our government and society.  “…’How can there be peace,’ Jehu replied, ‘as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?'” (2 Kings 9:22)
3. Pray for the presidential elections, that America and the globe will be spared from the demonic agendas being espoused by the Democratic party.  “For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?” (Esther 8:6)
4.
