    A Day to Rededicate America to God

    On Thursday, February 5th, President Trump told those gathered that his administration would hold an event on May 17, 2026, on the Washington Mall/Lincoln Memorial to rededicate America as “one nation, under God.”

    I certainly would not have to convince GH15 listeners/readers of this event’s significance. It is monumental. I (and others) have been interceding and decreeing for more than 40 years that this would occur - not the gathering itself, as important as that will be, but what it represents. 

    America began turning from and rebelling against God and His Son, Jesus Christ, decades ago, at least as early as the 1960’s. In 1962, the Supreme Court struck down school prayer; Time magazine published an article in 1965 reporting on the “God Is Dead” theology and movement. In 1973, the infamous Supreme Court decision making the right to an abortion the law of the land was delivered. That season began not merely a decline in morality, decency, and greatness in America; it marked the beginning of a cataclysmic collapse. 

    For the last few years, America has been inching its way to healing. Like the prodigal in Scripture crawling through the mud and slop of pigs back to “his senses” (Luke 15:17), America is returning to our Heavenly Father - to our roots. A rededication of our nation to God by our President and other leaders is astronomical toward this process. Christian leaders have done this; I have participated in it. But it will take on added significance when our government does so. The heavens will shake in the spiritual realm.  

    What Does This Dedication Mean?

    The concept of dedicating people, places, buildings, and other resources to God is very biblical and significant. There are four words in Scripture  translated “dedicate” or “dedication.” Examining them alongside references in which they’re used will provide insight into the principle. 

    1. Chanak(1) is one of the words. It is used to describe Solomon and all of Israel “dedicating” the Temple in 1 Kings 8:63. Interestingly, it is also translated “train up” a child in the way he should go in Proverbs 22:6. It is easy to see that the word conveys more than a simple token prayer or statement of dedication. It implies a serious, ongoing commitment to a process, person, or cause. And it ushered the glory of God into the temple!

    2. Another word translated “dedicate” in Scripture is qadash, and its derivative qodesh.(2) These two highly significant words mean to be holy or to be set apart to God. People were, of course, qadash’ed or separated to Him, but items (such as utensils in the Temple), and even days on the calendar were, as well. Items in the Temple were never to be used for anything else after being dedicated to the Lord. Days on the calendar that were qadash’ed to God were treated as holy days. Joshua told the entire nation of Israel to qadash themselves to the Lord in Joshua 3:5, in preparation for crossing into the promised land. Joel was told to sanctify or consecrate (qadash) the nation of Israel in Joel 2:15-16 in order to allow God’s restoration to occur. 

      It is clear that the concept presented by these words is incredibly powerful. It tells us how seriously Yahweh takes our dedication to Him, declaring us holy and as belonging to Him when we do so. 

    3. A third word translated as dedicate is cherem or charam.(3) This word carries such a strong meaning of being dedicated or devoted to someone that it became the word for a king’s harem. The word implies being set apart to a person or purpose in a very strict way. The spoils of Jericho, for example, were set apart (charem) for God’s use only (Joshua 6:18). When Achan stole some of those spoils, it brought a curse on the entire nation until his sin was dealt with (Joshua 7:11-13)!

      America was “dedicated” to God from her beginning, set apart for His purposes. We abandoned the Lord and His purposes for us, rebelling from His ways and our dedication to Him. The cost has been immeasurable. 

    4. The New Testament Greek word for dedicate is egkainizo.(4) Egkainizo means to “inaugurate, dedicate, and/or consecrate something new;” it can also mean to rededicate it. The word is used in Hebrews 9:18 to describe the inauguration, dedication, and consecration of the Old Covenant through the blood of animals. In the next chapter, 10:20, it describes the inauguration and dedication of the new and better covenant through the blood of Jesus. 

      This word is also used in the phrase “Feast of Dedication” in John 10:22. Today, this festival is called Hanukkah or the Festival of Lights. “The history of the Feast of Dedication goes back to the intertestamental period and the Maccabean Revolt. After a Syrian king profaned the Jewish temple and forced the Jews to abandon their sacrifices and adopt pagan rituals, a group of Jewish freedom fighters rose up, defied the oppressive pagan regime, and overthrew the Syrians. The temple in Jerusalem was “re-dedicated” to God; ever since then, the Feast of Dedication has been celebrated to commemorate this meaningful event in Jewish history.”(5)

    America should take the rededication of our nation to God as seriously as the Jews did the rededication of the Temple by the Maccabees. I can assure you God will take it seriously. We should celebrate the overthrow of defilement and the return of our nation to alignment with the Lord. This won’t mean the work of restoration is finished, but it will certainly mean it can be finished.

    Pray with me:

    Father, thank You for raising up this nation to be a light, a city on a hill, trumpeting the gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth. Though we have strayed from our purpose and destiny, You have not altered it. You intend to resurrect this destiny and allow us to participate in the great billion-soul harvest.

    As we pray for America today, we ask You to more fully reveal to us our great need for You. We repent over our sin and rebellion, the aborted babies, sex trafficking, and the mutilation of children, confused about their identities. Cleanse our hearts of our self-sufficiency, pride, arrogance, and rebellion toward You. Break and cleanse the hearts of the church over our lukewarm condition and compromise.

    Father, we thank You for the great turning that has begun; turning from our way to Your way; turning from sin to righteousness; turning from death to life; turning from selfishness to selflessness and love. 

    As we approach this rededication, we pray for our government leaders. Give us legislators and judges who truly acknowledge a reliance upon You and Your statutes. Only through You will we see America’s destiny fulfilled. 

    Heal America’s breaches. Repair our political, generational, and racial wounds. Deliver us from wicked leaders who use them to divide us. Remove them from positions of authority. Expose their hypocrisy and evil agendas. 

    We boldly ask You to bless our nation and bring a sweeping revival - an awakening that will touch every soul and set us apart to You once again. Come, Holy Spirit, sweep across our states and cities. We ask for these things in Christ’s name, Amen.

    Our decree:

    We decree that we, the people of America, place our trust in Almighty God and honor His will and ways. We rededicate this nation to You!

      Air Superiority, Part 4

      As we discuss our “air superiority” as the Ekklesia, I want to touch on the question of why it often takes time for our prayers to be answered. If we have the authority of Christ’s name in order to represent Him, why does it sometimes take so long to expel satan and his activities? 

      The reality is that when exercising our authority over satan and his kingdom - binding and loosing, taking back what he has stolen, etc. - this often occurs incrementally. This is especially true when doing so regarding corporate entities, such as a nation. It is much easier to expel evil spirits from, and break their control over, an individual versus a nation. 

      Satan gains access to humans in multiple ways. At times, he infiltrates the lives of people and nations simply through his subtlety, working without them being aware of his actions. Second Corinthians 2:11 tells us he takes advantage of those who are unaware of his schemes and tactics. Satan’s craftiness is his greatest strength. Hosea 4:6 affirms this, telling us that people can be destroyed by ignorance or a lack of knowledge. 

      Scripture also tells us, unsurprisingly, that satan sometimes gains access to humans because of sin. Doors can be opened to him legally, providing a legal right to control a person or nation. Ephesians 4:27 warns us not to “give place to the devil.” “Place” is from the Greek word topos,(1) from which we get the English word topography. Topos is used not only to speak of literal land or places, but also figuratively, as it is here, in reference to giving or providing a “place of opportunity” or a “place of power.” In this same sense, topos is the word for a scabbard, a place in which to carry a sword or gun. “Don’t give satan ground or territory upon which he has a legal right, spiritually speaking, to implement his weapons or his control.”

      Paul used the word “topos” in Acts 25:16, referencing his “license” (KJV) or legal right in Roman law to defend himself against the charges brought against him. The point of these references is that sin can provide a legal right to satan, giving him a “place” from which to conduct his stealing, killing, and destructive activities (John 10:10). These sins can actually defile and bring curses to the very land upon which we live, according to Numbers 35:33 and other verses. 

      America’s sins, especially abortion, have given satan access to our nation. We are told very clearly in Scripture that the shedding of innocent blood releases a curse on the land (Numbers 35:33; see also Proverbs 6:17). Another sin that has opened the door to satan’s activities is simply our nation’s rebellion against God and His Word. Rebellion, we are told in Scripture, is the equivalent of witchcraft (1 Samuel 15:23), opening the door to demonic activity and control. It cost Saul his position as king of Israel. Idolatry could also be listed as a sin that defiles the land and brings curses upon people and nations. We could certainly list others, but it is not my purpose to offer a list of America’s sins. I am simply pointing out that as a nation, we are reaping the results of giving “place” to satan. 

      When corporate sins such as these are ongoing, a one-time repentance from a few people is not adequate to remove satan’s legal right to control the group. A consistent repentance and usually from an increasing number of individuals, is needed in order to bring sufficient cleansing. There is no verse of Scripture that explicitly states this, but it is certainly implied. The Bible says, “If My people humble themselves and pray…”, not “If an individual” does so. Christ’s Ekklesia on earth, given authority to overcome the government of hell, is not one person but a body of people. Agreement in prayer requires plurality. It is clear that, in many ways, God deals with humanity corporately, not just individually. 

      Because of this principle, “binding” demonic powers and “loosing” nations from their influence, as we spoke of in yesterday‘s post, is a process. The fruit occurs incrementally. In summary, as our prayers increase, they release more of God’s power…which causes more hearts to turn toward the Lord…which lessens the “place” or territory from which Satan can control. Gordon Lindsay, a great teacher on prayer in the 1960s, used to say in reference to incremental victory over satan’s actions, “I push the devil back a little farther every day.” 

      That’s what we’re doing in America. 

      Pray with me:

      Father, we begin today by asking You to forgive our nation for taking the lives of over 60 million innocent children through abortion. We could never atone for this gross evil. America deserves nothing but judgment and curses. But we thank You that through the blood of Jesus, we can receive – not what we deserve – but Your mercy. We thank You that Jesus took the punishment we deserve, and through His blood sprinkled on the Mercy Seat of heaven, provided mercy for us. 

      Through this, we ask You to cleanse America, washing away all of our sins and their resulting curses. We ask that the “place” that has been given to the spirit of murder in America be removed. Break the hold of violence and bring peace to our nation. 

      We ask for a continuation and increase of the revival that has begun; it will further cleanse and remove the deception that allows our great national sins. And we ask You to raise up more and more righteous leaders in our government who understand principles of repentance and spiritual cleansing, and who desire to follow Your ways. Give them the faith and boldness to repent on behalf of our nation and to make biblical, life-giving decrees. We ask for greater revelation and enlightenment to the Ekklesia regarding our authority in Christ. And give us wisdom to apply this authority in more productive ways. Teach us how to demolish strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:3-5), uproot evil systems (Jeremiah 1:10), and manifest Your wisdom even to principalities and powers in heavenly places (Ephesians 3:10)

      All of these things we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

      Our decree:

      We decree that Christ’s governmental influence on earth is ever-increasing (Isaiah 9:6-7), and He has made the church ambassadors of that Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20). We will represent Him!

        Air Superiority, Part 3

        Air Superiority in World War II

        “Arthur Travers Harris, known as “Bomber” Harris, became commander of RAF (Royal Air Force) Bomber Command in early 1942. Until then, Bomber Command hadn’t done much, but the energetic and controversial Harris soon changed all that. He became the architect and chief proponent of nighttime ‘area bombing’ of major German cities. In March of 1942, he struck Lübeck. In April, he bombed Rostock. Then, on the night of May 30-31, 1942, he launched a devastating, 1,000-bomber attack on Cologne. 

        “A few days later, Harris went before RAF film cameras and delivered a chilling, two-minute message, saying, ‘The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation.

        “‘They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind. Cologne, Lubeck, Rostock—those are only just the beginning. We cannot send a thousand bombers at a time over Germany every time, as yet. But the time will come when we can do so. 

        “‘Let the Nazis take good note of the western horizon. There they will see a cloud as yet no bigger than a man’s hand. But behind that cloud lies the whole massive power of the United States of America. When the storm bursts over Germany, they will look back to the days of Lubeck and Rostock and Cologne as a man caught in the blasts of a hurricane looks back at the gentle [breezes] of last summer.

        “‘It may take a year. It may take two. But for the Nazis, the writing is on the wall…’”(1)

        And Harris was right. The bombings he spoke of came and decimated the Nazis. Likewise, the prayers and decrees of the church today are beginning to decimate the powers of darkness and will increase. We are winning the battle in the heavens! 

        When we, the church, work together in projects like America’s Big Ben Moment - A Minute to Win It, Clay Nash and his Josiah Company praying for the mid-term elections, Intercessors For America and their prayer alerts, and others, we are dropping millions of spiritual “bombs” on the powers of darkness. We’re the spiritual “Allied Forces,” raining down destruction on satan’s demonic forces with our air superiority. 

        Jesus made a profound announcement in Matthew 16:18-19:

        “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

        The Passion Translation adds the phrase “my legislative assembly” after the word “church” in verse 18. Their very accurate explanation is that “The Greek word for ‘church’ is ekklesia and means ‘legislative assembly’ or ‘selected ones.’ This is not a religious term at all, but a political and governmental term used many times in classical Greek for a group of people who have been summoned and gathered together to govern the affairs of a city. For Jesus to use this term means He is giving the keys of governmental authority in His Kingdom to the church.”(2)

        When Christ said He would build His Ekklesia, He wasn’t speaking of religious services, an organization, congregations, and certainly not of buildings. Not that those things aren’t good or useful. It’s just that to think of them as “the church” completely misses His point. Jesus was saying that His body, His bride, would also be His Kingdom’s legislative body on earth, operating in His authority to release His will and ways.

        Pause and ask yourself how many Christians have been taught this. Satan has done a great job of hiding this truth from the body of Christ, which more often than not, doesn’t function as His Ekklesia, His church, only as fellowships or congregations. The attendees are worshippers, not warriors; lovers, but not legislators.

        Jesus went on to say this Ekklesia would have His keys, His authority, to deal with the gates or government of hell operating in the invisible realm of the spirit (“heavenly places”). They would bind (deo) and loose (luo) satan’s forces, words which were not only used with physical connotations, but are also legal terms meaning to forbid and allow. Deo is used for “legally binding,”(3) and luo is used for “dissolving” or “voiding”(4) something that is legally or contractually binding. 

        The church, the Ekklesia, is Christ’s “air force,” authorized to rain down spiritual bombs “against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). God actually said He would manifest His wisdom to principalities and powers in heavenly places through His Ekklesia (Ephesians 3:10). 

        This is now taking place. Many in the church have been made aware of what Jesus actually said in Matthew 16:18-19, and are now functioning as His Ekklesia.

        I once heard the late, great pastor/teacher Jack Hayford say an aspect of prayer was “enforcing the victory of Calvary.” His point was that what Jesus accomplished on the Cross is not automatically released on earth, but occurs through the actions of the church, including His defeat of satan. Dr. Hayford was quick to point out that we don’t have to re-defeat satan, but we do have to enforce his defeat in Jesus’ name. 

        This is confirmed by the use of luo in 1 John 3:8. Remember, this is the Greek word for “loose,” in Matthew 16:19, but is also a legal term meaning to void or dissolve something legally binding. In 1 John 3:8, it is used to say “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy (luo) the works of the devil.” 

        But Jesus didn’t literally destroy satan or his works. He legally voided his hold on humanity and the earth, breaking satan’s headship over us, which is the meaning of Genesis 3:15. Jesus didn’t literally crush satan’s head at the Cross; He broke his “headship,” voiding his legal hold over us. 

        This must be received through faith in Christ and enforced in His name. The Scriptures state that Jesus luo’ed the works of the devil, but also that His Ekklesia would luo the works of the devil. We don’t re-defeat satan, but we do enforce his defeat. I’ll say more about this tomorrow. 

        Pray with me:

        Father, the glorious Ekklesia/church You spoke of is arising. We are working together, allies in Your Kingdom, releasing truth bombs and declaration bombs as we enforce Christ’s victory of Calvary. Christ luo’ed satan’s hold over us, and we are enforcing that victory. You gave us air superiority, and we are using it to accomplish Your will. 

        Bless every prayer group and ministry with fresh revelation, insight regarding Your assignments for them, and renewed strength. Turn every 9pm prayer and decree into a fiery missile of destruction to satan’s plans for America. Guide every prayer and decree offered by the Josiah Company, regarding the midterms, straight to Your desired target. Continue to bless, encourage, and lead intercessors who partner with Intercessors For America, and every other prayer network in America. 

        We release decrees now over our government, declaring that evil, lawlessness, leftist ideals, and antichrist systems are being demolished. Leaders who oppose You and Your ways will continue to be exposed and defeated. We decree that human traffickers will be exposed and judged, murderers and rapists removed from our streets, and the mutilation of children will end. 

        We ask You now for a great revival here and around the world. Release wind from Heaven to fan the flames of revival. Dethrone evil leaders who oppose it. Show Yourself very strong in this hour, we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

        Our decree: 

        We decree that the Ekklesia is gaining momentum and becoming the spiritual “air force” God intended it to be.
