Praying for Israel: Prayer Guide Against Anti-Semitism 

The atrocities committed by Hamas and various terrorist allies against the nation of Israel on Oct. 7 seem to be a plumb line or water shed event on the earth, with nations dividing for or against the nation of Israel (see Joel 3:1–2). Former allies have become enemies in the public square. Since that day, the number of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel/antisemitic events worldwide has increased dramatically. The spirit of Antichrist manifesting as the spirit of Amalek (see Exodus 17:8–16) is coming unmasked.

Editorial Special Section: Nita Johnson: God’s Fire and the Fear of the Lord (Part 3)

Message: Nita Johnson: (Nita Johnson) Date: June 21, 2022 Source: World Ministry for Christ

It’s great to be with you! Thank you for joining us! I want to start by looking at three verses with you. See Psalm 111:10 , Job 28:28 , and Proverbs 1:7

• Psalm 111:10   The fear of the Lord is the beginning (primary, prerequisite) of wisdom, and whoever does his commandments (will) is wise. The Lord is to be praised forever!
• Job 28:28   He said to the people, “(Behold) fearing (revering and worshiping) the Lord is wisdom, and turning away from evil is understanding.”
• Proverbs 1:7   Fear (reverence) (worship him, for he is truly awesome) The LORD is the beginning (starting point) of knowledge (its essence), but fools despise (skillful, godly) wisdom and instruction

【prayer】

My dear Savior, all this afternoon because of this message many tears have flowed in my heart. These tears seem to be twofold. On the one hand they are for those who are Yours but suffer because they do not fear You. They do not know their Life lacks something. Now is the time when You want to change them. You want Your people to be given a spirit of fear so that they have the basic qualities to walk with You in glory; on the other hand, it is for those who are suffering to know that our person A God of mercy is deeply concerned about the suffering we suffer from our lack of understanding.

Help us to humble ourselves and help us to break ourselves before You, fearing pride, rebellion, stubbornness and the many things that keep us from the truth. Grant us the kindness and humility to love who you are and all that you ask for our good. Lord, please help me to share your heart. Father, we thank you. In the precious name of your dear Son, we love you and we thank you. Amen.

Love God in the Fear of God

The first thing I want to remind you is that once we are saved, prayer becomes the greatest privilege in our lives. Study Him, learn from Him, love Him, and live in the fear of the Lord. This is an amazing life. Living in His divine love and God-fearing Spirit opens up to us the mysteries of God that are manifestly beautiful and wonderful. I promise, there is no other way to live with God! Furthermore, living in His own divine love is about enlarging our small hearts to love those whom He loves, no matter how many they may be. Lord, I thank You for teaching us to humble ourselves and never think of ourselves as better than others or break the law of love.

My dear intercessor, you and I understand the importance of divine love. Can I be honest with you? I learned about His divine love from the beginning through intercessory prayer. When I begin to pray, He will show me someone who is living in sin, and He will allow me to experience His love for that person, His desire to set them free and to help them find, know, and understand life. The greater value in life is to love God in the fear of God. Whenever He would reveal this to me about a person, I would cry, sometimes for hours, to the point where He would break down this stronghold in their life.

Most churches are not equipped to fear God. People can love God and feel His love and presence. They thought God had touched them in an incredible way. However, the fear of God He imparts is a different experience.

We can fear God in a way that we don’t want to disobey Him. We want to live according to what He requires of us or His commandments, but still do many things in the flesh. Sometimes even when He shines light on our sins, we just shake our heads, return to our willfulness, and then go back to walking in the flesh. This is not living in the fear of God.

Walk in the Fear of God

When you live in the fear of God, He gives you a part of Himself. Jesus Christ was the greatest man who ever walked the earth. He walked in the fear of God, so He wants His church to walk in the same. Before you think “we can’t do it”, I say “yes you can”. This is the part of the Spirit of Christ who wants to rule over our lower, soulish nature. So this is possible, the Spirit of Christ must first fill us with the fear of God. It then begins to help us recognize when the fear of God is at work and seeks to give us the strength and grace to turn away from things that sin against God. This is a process, it doesn’t happen overnight.

Baptism in the God-fearing Spirit changes lives

A person’s life will indeed change if he is truly baptized by the spirit of fearing God. I mean significant changes. They will begin to see, feel, and recognize things in ways they never have before. This will make it easier for them to turn away from things that offend the Lord, they will see it through His eyes, and when they do, they will be afraid to continue down that path. Not because they were afraid of being disciplined by Him, but because they were afraid that they would be on the path of evil spirits that would constantly incite and tempt them into rebellion. They will see things differently and turn away from them out of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God’s ways, purposes, and plans. This is really a good thing.

He desires to help His church come into this state of being in a position to please Jesus in all things. Once they make a mistake, they will immediately fall to their knees and repent, because they know they have offended this holy and precious Lord and they will do whatever it takes to never make the same mistake again. Because they fear the Lord and dare not harm Him again, they have the fire of God to cleanse and refine these tendencies in their souls, praise God!

Live out of love for God and in obedience to Him

His desire is to make us into the image of His beloved Son. This is not something we can do on our own, but we can hope and study God’s Word diligently. We can learn from His character. For example, read the chapter of love in 1 Corinthians 13 and pray about this chapter every day until it is deeply imprinted in your heart and you can know it from memory. Out of love for Him (who sets my heart on fire) you learn to live in obedience to Him until finally He overwhelms you with His Spirit of grace. In that place, you would never knowingly do anything to disobey Him.

Now that I have entered into union with the Lord, can I grow more? Can I do more? The answer to both questions is yes. Can I experience Him more than I do now? Again, the answer is yes. But there are still times when my heart breaks because I forget what He has said to me and do or fail to do what He tells me not to do. Then He has to correct me, which is always painful, not because His correction upsets me, but because I break His heart by my own forgetfulness, and that hurts me.

A new inner compass

He wants us to live a life that becomes a new compass for our hearts. You can install a compass on a ship’s machinery, but if no one knows what they’re doing to monitor the compass, the ship can still go off course. Deep within us lives someone who knows what to do, and that person is the Holy Spirit. When He sees us doing this and making mistakes, He rebukes us with His grace, His love for God, and His love for us. So that we never make the same mistake again.

A God-fearing spirit teaches us not to rely on ourselves but to trust God alone, and that we should also love selflessly so that we can know Him. I once told someone, and honestly this has happened many times, that if the person would do certain things He asked, the Lord would open the door to union. The next time I saw that person, a huge change had occurred in him, but not the change I wanted to see. The man became proud, so obviously that it was almost frightening. Instead of being humbled by the invitation, this man began to walk in pride because the invitation had been given. Finally, I had to tell this person, “You know this is His invitation, but if you don’t meet His requirements, He doesn’t have to give it to you anymore. Besides, even if He gives it to you, you won’t enjoy it. You need to change the path you’re on. “I don’t think that person is ready to do that, but I hope that one day that will change.

The fear of God opens the door to wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God

The Lord has told me many times that He wanted to bring someone into a life of union with Him, but they became so dissatisfied with the Lord’s decrees in a short period of time that they lost the open door. So hopefully a spirit of fear of the Lord can help us achieve this goal. The fear of God truly opens the door to wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God, and access to those things given to mankind. There are many things in heaven and in God that humans have never seen, heard, or known, because only a handful of people throughout the ages are willing to pay the price to hear, understand, and understand these things.

I know Paul saw many glorious things, but he himself admitted in his later years that he could have experienced more. In fact, He doesn’t tell us that some of His battles will take longer to overcome than He imagined. It is very important for all of us to stay alert. If someone like Paul could have missed it, let alone us.

The moment the Lord tells us, “This is what I ask for,” pay attention, humble yourself, and begin to do so immediately while praying for the grace and sovereignty of Jesus Christ in that area of ​​your heart. If God teaches us to hunger and thirst for His righteousness, so that we learn to walk in the length, breadth, height, and depth of His love, then there is no good thing He will withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Many people get offended and angry when He corrects us and shows us something bad in our hearts and souls. Their self-righteousness built a wall between themselves and the Word of the Lord. But there is absolutely no way we can enter into union with the Lord if we cannot accept guidance and correction. If there was one group of people with whom Jesus most wanted to be united, it was His intercessors. Honestly, I think you are the first people He wants to give a spirit of fear of the Lord.

He is not a God who withholds the best from us. He wants to be the God who pours out upon you the horns of spiritual abundance. He desires this very much because intercessors sacrifice so much to become intercessors. He wants to reciprocate with His kindness, goodness, mercy, and blessings. Don’t let any of you force Him to withhold when He so lovingly desires to give.

There are many people in the church who are lost in paganism due to apathy. Cults, false churches, and religions get lost in these waves of God-spit irritation because they are indifferent to a God who has laws and rules, and they don’t think they have to keep those commandments, which encourages indifference even more.

Revelation tells us what He will do to those who are indifferent? He warns us clearly and strongly that He will spit us out of His mouth! One of the ways He does this is by allowing deception to come to us. Then we accept false teachings from the religious community that have no basis in fact.

So my dear friends, we must be careful. It breaks His heart to lose anyone who is His, so let your heart be broken by it so that you will never make the same mistake again. There is an anointing that can break the chains of this evil slavery. I believe that God will give grace to the church to help those who have gone astray but still come back. They had not yet hardened their hearts into rebellion so that they could not return.

They will learn the lessons they learn. They were temporarily on the wrong path, and He would bring them back to the path of Christ. They will always remember the mistakes they made and never make them again.

Restored in the Love of Christ

King David was such a person. If God can restore someone like King David, or heal someone like Abraham who sinned with Hagar, then He can heal anyone. He can restore anyone. We need to pray for our loved ones and ask God to restore them. May His grace rest upon them, that they may be restored in the love of Christ to His goodness, righteousness, and holiness. I think He will.

I remember an incredible and glorious moment. Once I was serving in a women’s group, and I was asked to speak to this woman from the podium. He said her son had homosexual tendencies and it broke her heart. She was worried that he would die before returning to the Lord. The Lord said, “Tell her that I have a special plan for her son and that I will be doing the work of restoration, so keep praying for him.”

It turned out that the lady gathered women from three different surrounding cities for this gathering. Because they often attend such meetings, when I tell her the words of God, everyone knows who the Lord is talking about. After the meeting, she ran to me with tears streaming down her face. She said, “Do you know what sin my son is in?” I replied, “Yes, I know, but I don’t want to say it in front of everyone. He is gay.” She said, “That’s right. It’s true. I cry so hard every night.” I said, “So now you can pray with faith because God will honor your tears.”

The Lord is waiting to bless us. He really is. He does not find reasons to abandon us and His promises. He wants to bless us, and He wants to fulfill His promises. However, if we do not pursue goodness, there will come a time when He will closely search our hearts for the promise of blessing. He allows this to happen because we don’t care enough to protect the relationship. Still, He will work, and quickly.

Live 100% for the Lord

I spent the afternoon thinking about things I would do and think. Over the years, many people wanted to walk with me and travel with me, but they didn’t last long because I really gave 100% to Jesus. They thought they were going to get a lot of friendship, conversation, and have me as a good friend to them. But that didn’t happen, and because I chose to live for the Lord, they felt offended and thought they’d better go find someone else. Honestly, I have to agree with them because they are unhappy.

I live a life longing to know Him more deeply and intimately. I have no control. If this longing seemed all-consuming before the union, it was even more so after entering the union. It burns in my heart like an unstoppable fire. I want to know Him deeply, intimately, and to know Him more deeply in every way. That I may be completely His. May they win Christ in His infinite wonder.

Our brother Paul lived with the same intention. Let’s turn to Philippians because he says it much better than I can. This is the place we all must get to if we want to gain the deeper things of God.

Philippians 3:7-9a   But whatever gain I had, I now count as loss (totally) for the sake of Christ. Not only so, but I also count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing [knowing and understanding Him more fully and clearly] Christ Jesus our Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness that comes from the law,

This is not a man who says, “I want my righteousness to be recognized,” because no one knows better than I do that my own righteousness is like filthy rags. Which means I have a mess here. That’s not who he is.

Philippians 3:9b-11  Having the righteousness that is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God by faith, so that I may know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, Or I might be raised from the dead.

I hunger and thirst for Him and the righteousness He gave me when He brought me into union, but it wasn’t enough. It needs to be applied over and over again until it consumes everything that fights against it. I hunger and thirst to know Christ. Now He has me.

He eradicated my sinful nature in 2018 and wrote His name on my heart in 2019. He said to me, “Your heart now belongs entirely to me and not to any one person or thing.” This is such a beautiful thing for me. I cried and cried. He did this to me and in me. He claims me as His own.

Die to self to eradicate the sinful nature

He longs to see a church so passionately owned by Him. He wants us to have faith in this calling because He wants our faith to overcome all obstacles that stand against it. This is a beautiful thing. When a person dies to self so much, He is able to eradicate the sinful nature. It means everything to Him. It was also a very painful experience.

He took me to the cross and it was very painful. He showed me scripture after scripture about what He had done. He wants all of this because He wants to make sure the sinful nature is ready to be eradicated from my soul. Then He can bring my soul to a level of cleansing in Him so that He can truly bring me into union. It’s not my doing, it’s His doing.

This is a very beautiful thing to Him. Because it’s beautiful to Him and it’s beautiful to me. He looked me in the eyes tenderly and said, “You are Mine now, completely Mine.” I didn’t mean to come across as a braggart. I do not think so. Just repeating His words brings me to tears of love all over again.

What He would go through to own us and make us His is so extraordinary to me. I cannot bear to think about taking back anything He has given me, because I know the price He has paid to achieve His goals. This hurts me more than any cost. I went to that virtual cross.

There is almost nothing He has experienced that I have not experienced at some point in time. I even know what He went through from what I went through. He told me He experienced this on the cross. It’s terrible, but I wouldn’t change it. As hard as it was to endure, I would do it again. My dear brothers and sisters, if this is how things turn out, I am willing to go through anything just to be owned by Him and be counted worthy to be owned by Him. anything!

Pay the price to unite with the Lord

I want to encourage you to think this way. You are an intercessor. If there’s anyone anywhere in the world I’d like to see possess this beautiful grace, it’s you. My daughter is emerging and rising rapidly. He showed me what was to come, in part because of what I had been through. The same thing will happen to you. If the price you’re paying seems a little too high, it’s possible you’re paying the price for one of your children to experience union with the Lord. Whatever He ultimately calls you to experience, it’s all for a reason. Pay the price!

How great He is! How wonderful He is! How majestic He is! How wonderful, loving, and gentle He is! He is a stern disciplinarian, and I like that too. Paul spoke of His wonderful person. I can’t tell you how many tears I shed over this passage that taught me the wonder of His attributes.

They are so wonderful. His holiness is my favorite part. His holiness is so pure and beautiful. His throne is beautiful because He is beautiful. Desire it all, but never refuse correction. Never do this to yourself. Don’t do this to Him. Desire it all, and He will give it to you.

Pray for America: Stay Focused; God Will Have The Last Word (Response to Trump Verdict)

Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from the prayer post of “Give Him 15 Minutes” on 5/31 by prayer leader Dutch Sheets. We agree with the prayers released by the National Day of Prayer Committee and are reprinting them here for the reference of all intercessors.

【Current Events Background:  Before I share, I want to say that earlier today, I began feeling heavy sadness and grief for the nation. As I was praying and writing the earlier post, the one I’m now saving, a friend called to talk about an unrelated matter, but during the conversation, mentioned the sad condition of America. The floodgates opened, and I began to weep to the point of being unable to speak. I couldn’t finish our conversation. He, knowing this was a travail from Holy Spirit, graciously ended the call. I walked and prayed for a while, then continued writing. I tell you this to point out that the sadness many are feeling over the depth of corruption in our nation was already coming on me – for the purpose of prayer. Like many, it wasn’t as much anger I felt, but a deep wave of sadness.

I want to state clearly that my sadness is not from a feeling of defeat—I wasn’t surprised at the verdict—but instead, is intense grief over the shocking depths to which America has fallen. I am still confident that revival is coming—America shall be saved—but the cost of our sin has been great. And it is not yet over; the shaking will continue for a season. 

Tonight [Thursday], as I have been seeking the Lord, Holy Spirit reminded me of these things:

1) Chris Reed’s dream on March 9, 2024. He saw a 16-17 month period of time symbolizing the rebirth of America. It began around the time of the eclipse in April and ended in July 2025. The season was very chaotic, difficult, and alarming. At times, it looked like the “baby” (a reborn America) might not make it. But it did. At one point in the dream, July 11 stood out to him, though at the time, he didn’t know if it was in 2024 or 2025. We found out today that July 11 is Trump’s sentencing date.

2) A pastor friend of mine had a dream in June 2022. I don’t feel it is time to share all of it, but some I can. In the dream, he found himself standing next to Trump; it was now 2024. Trump said, “I’ll be a political martyr in the next few years. Not because of my goodness but because God has put the tools in me to tear down, root up, and confront the system. It’ll be an eight-year process and will take two men – me, then another – for the full sweep of power.” 

I’ve watched as the leftists, globalists, and Dems have tried to destroy Trump. Truly, he is a political “martyr.” And yet, in the dream, he prevailed and served his second term, beginning the tearing down of the evil system, which was finished by another.

3) Gina Gholston’s dream, “Work While You Celebrate,” the dream in which intercessors were instructed to paint the borders and anchor the nation, told us that a great shaking was coming. But the dream also said not to fear; America would survive if we obeyed the Lord. Revival came along with the shaking. (Links to these three GH15s sharing the dream: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3)

For the Lord to emphasize over and over not to fear, told me the shaking and difficulties would be severe. This is why I have said multiple times in the GH15 posts, that things will get worse before they get better. I don’t want you to be caught off guard and waver in your faith. We are not yet through the shaking, but what is coming will shake down evil, awaken the nation, and end in revival. Stay in the secret place of Psalm 91, don’t forget to pray over the waterways, water supplies, dams, and ports (terrorists are here), pray for Trump and other God-fearing leaders, and DO NOT FEAR. Stay in a place of faith.

4) This evening [Thursday], Pat McManus, a friend who pastors in Illinois, shared a word with me. A few nights ago, the Lord awakened him with a prophetic word. Holy Spirit said, “The fierceness of My throne is coming. Guard your heart, stay focused on Me. I am releasing a fire that will strengthen those that are willing to hear the sound.

“I am going to purge the land with the fire of My glory. Stand, and stay focused on Me. You are entering My glory. Rest assured that I am strengthening your heart.

“I am about to come in power. Don’t lose sight of that which I’m about to release on the land, an unquenchable fire. Stand strong, and don’t lose sight of what I am about to do. Again, stay focused, persistently pursuing and pressing into all that I am.

“I’m igniting the fire; it will blaze with My glory, and nothing will stop the dismantling, re-ordering, and repositioning.”

The fire and glory of God is coming to America. It will cleanse, and it will empower. We must stay focused on Him, not the shaking, and refuse to be shaken. It will tear down that which is evil, not us; we will emerge on the other side with renewed strength and purpose, and a renewed nation. Evil will not prevail. Yes, the kingdom of darkness believes it is winning, but God will have the last word.

Pray for America: 24 Prayers for 24/7 Prayer Against Terror Attacks in America

Editor’s note: As prophet Chris Reeds mentioned in the message “As is Israel, so is the United States ,” many sleeper cells of terrorist organizations have infiltrated into the United States and established many camps.

Pray for America: PRAYERS AND DECREES FOR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICA’S WATERWAYS

Editor’s Note: This article comes from the “Give Him 15 Minutes” website of intercession leader Dutch Sheets , which provides a reference for intercessors from various states to pray for American waterways. May the Holy Spirit lead the intercessors to accomplish this critical task of restoring America.

【Prayer】

Father, You have assigned us to pray for protection over America’s water supply, waterways, and dams. Your Word tells us that unless You keep or guard a city, the efforts of watchmen are in vain (Psalm 127:1). Therefore, we look to You for protection – You are our refuge, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm46:1). When You are for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? You save us from our enemies, men of bloodshed who do iniquity (Psalm 59:1-2). You are theCreator and Owner of the entire world – all of its inhabitants, as well as the seas and rivers. You are the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty in battle, and the Lord of angel armies (Psalm 24:1,7,8,10). As a Master Workman, You set the boundaries for the seas and drew the tributaries of the earth (Proverbs 8:29-30), and still maintain ownership and authority over them.

We know, Father, that we always have access to Your throne of grace through Yeshua (John 14:13-14; Hebrews 4:16). However, in the dream, we were given coins referencing our authority for this specific assignment. They included the words “Official Pass,” the Cross engraved onto an arrowhead, and the U.S. seal. The blood of Jesus (the Cross) is our official pass, giving us authority to accomplish this assignment. Yet, it was engraved onto the arrowhead, which in Scripture pictures deliverance and victory (2 Kings 14:14-19) – our “deliverance” from evil is in the power and blood of Jesus. However, we believe You are also reminding us of the 300 arrowheads, 5 of which were buried in each state after being anointed with oil by First Nations believers. As our First Nations friends prayed over the oil, they were led to declare Isaiah 60, verse 18: “Violence will not be heard again in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise.” Our covenant with You, Lord, through the Cross, also joins us in covenant with our First Nations brothers and sisters. We believe You are cleansing America of past sins, healing her of broken covenants and relational wounds, and giving us a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11). The coin reminds us of this.

To You, Lord, nothing is hidden; You reveal and expose secret plans and agendas (Matthew 10:26; Luke 8:17). We ask that any foreign or domestic plans to harm our dams, waterways, and water supply will be revealed and thwarted before they are carried out. Expose every plot to restrict our supply lines, hinder our power sources, or tamper in any way with our water supplies, dams, or waterways. Prevent the theft of weapons, extortion, and all that would assist terrorist activities. Frustrate the plans of the crafty to keep their plans from succeeding (Job 5:12), and create disunity and confusion among them (Judges 7:22).

Prevent those bent on doing evil from infiltrating critical positions of influence in our nation. Expose all corruption and confusion that would delay the rooting out of terrorism (Luke 12:2-3). Protect and give wisdom, discernment, and intelligence to all those involved in the search for terrorists: police departments, Homeland Security and their partners, the FBI, border agents, and guards at dams and waterway entrances. Open their eyes, direct their steps, and reveal the whereabouts of all those bent on doing evil. Weed out and expose any in positions of authority who may be involved in aiding or advancing terrorism from within. Protect us from cyber-attacks. Contend with those who contend with us (Isaiah 49:25), cause evil to “bow down

before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous” (Proverbs 14:19). We ask that Holy Spirit would hover over the dams and waterways of our nation, just as He did the waters of the earth in Genesis 1:2, releasing life and blessing. Arise over us, God, and cause every enemy to be scattered (Psalm 68:1).

【DECREES】

Father, we know that as Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters at creation, Jesus was declaring life-giving words (Genesis 1:3-25; John 1:1-3). As His Ekklesia, His representatives, we now declare and decree His Words over our water supply, waterways, and dams:

• We decree that the powerful and majestic voice of the Lord thunders upon America’s waters, blessing them with peace (Psalm 29:3-4,11).

• We declare peace and security within our nation’s walls; violence will no more be heard in our land, devastation or destruction within our borders; our walls are salvation and our gates praise (Psalm 122:7; Isaiah 60:18).

• We declare that God is a wall of fire around our nation, and His glory is in our midst. He is our hiding place; we are protected from trouble because He surrounds us with songs of deliverance, and His angels encamp around
• The Lord keeps us from harm by day and by night, watching over our coming and going from now and forever (Zechariah 2:5; Psalm 32:7; Psalm

121:5-8).

• We decree, by faith in God and His Word, that every dam, waterway, and water supply in [insert name of your state] and all of America is protected and shielded from evil. No evil plot planned or devised against them will succeed; every snare is broken. We will not fear, and terror will not come near us (Isaiah 54:14 AMP; Isaiah 54:17; Psalm 21:11; Psalm 124:7).

• We decree Proverbs 21:22 (TPT) over America: “A warrior filled with wisdom ascends into the high place and releases regional breakthrough, bringing down the strongholds of the mighty.” Therefore, we decree the tearing down of every hidden stronghold of the enemy over America’s dams, waterways, and water supply and release breakthroughs in every region.

• We declare Isaiah 58:11 over America, that she is a well-watered garden, whose waters do not fail.

• Read and declare Psalm 91.

【RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH STATE】

1. In the dream, each state representative was given a hand-carved staff. In Old Testament times, men’s staffs were hand-carved with pictures representing their history and testimonies of God‘s faithfulness. We encourage intercessors in each state to use their state’s history, specifically the preamble to its constitution, in a prayer or decree.

2. We also encourage intercessors to consider using the book The Prophetic Destiny of A Nation, praying and declaring God’s prophesied destiny over their individual state.

3. We also want to point out that there are several nuclear silos for our military in the Northwest and Plains states, two parts of the nation especially highlighted in the dream. We encourage intercessors in these states to remember this as they pray. Holy Spirit will guide you as you do so.

4. One of our team members wrote the following decree for the states through which the Mississippi River flows. However, the decree can be used not only for those states, but also could be easily adapted for any major river:

Lord we thank You for the main artery of the Mississippi River, called also the “Father of Waters” and “America’s River, running 2,350 miles through our nation from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. In the name of Jesus, we ask that angels protect everything regarding this river. We bind all attempts to obstruct the petroleum, agricultural, and other commercial items it carries. We decree that no destruction shall come to its flood control structures & pumping systems, and that no attempts at cyber disruption of refineries, chemical plants, or the computer networks that regulate the barges will succeed. We declare Ezekiel 32:14 that the waters of the Mississippi run deep and smooth like oil, that all along its banks is blessed, and all of its ports are prosperous.

In conclusion, Father, consider the threats against America and give Your people boldness to speak Your Word. Stretch out Your hand to heal our land and people, performing signs, wonders, and miracles, for Your glory (Acts 4:29). Breathe upon the intercessors with words, travail, groans, cries, songs and decrees to govern with Your power (Romans 8:26-27; Psalm 149). In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
