Communion in D.C.


There is absolutely no doubt that we are in the beginnings of revival in America, an outpouring of such proportions that it will be considered another Great Awakening. Many efforts have contributed to this: much prayer, worship gatherings, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and more. Small acts of obedience have been essential; grassroots efforts that are often unseen by the masses combine in the spirit realm to become great waves of anointing and momentum. Occasionally, however, the Lord leads individuals to convene larger gatherings of believers. Lou Engle and The Call come to mind, as does Washington for Jesus, A Million Women, and others. 


One of the more unique and larger gatherings that Holy Spirit has orchestrated was Awaken the Dawn in October 2017. Fifty-eight tents lined the Washington Mall, filled with 24/7 worship led by 1700 worship teams. Yes, I said 1700. Fifty thousand people attended, and 4,000,000 participated online! Many people were saved, including government officials, and many more were healed. Also, statewide movements of prayer and revival were birthed in EVERY state. This event truly was used to help birth a new day. And the fruit didn’t end that day–since 2017, Awaken the Dawn has hosted 800 tent gatherings in capitals, campuses, and cities around the nation…EIGHT HUNDRED! 


Holy Spirit has led David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn to host another gathering on the National Mall called Communion America. It will take place next week, October 9-12. Although he and his ministry are taking point, this is a collaboration of several ministries, including ours. Fifty tents, one for each state, will be filled with 24/7 worship, prayer, and communion, culminating in partaking of the Lord’s Table together on Saturday, the 11th. The sacrifice of Christ will be honored as millions of people there and throughout the nation take Communion as one. Without question, this will further open the heavens over America. I can’t wait!


I realize that many of you, due to jobs and other responsibilities, cannot attend every event of this nature, and there is also a short time to plan. However, if possible, consider attending this gathering for at least a day. We are told in Scripture that three times a year, all men in Israel who could possibly do so were required to attend the major feasts in Jerusalem (Exodus 23:14-19). Joel 2:16 emphasizes gathering the nation to seek the Lord’s restoration. These and other references emphasize the importance of God’s people coming together in mass at times. When we do, the agreement taking place accomplishes things in the spirit realm that cannot occur as we gather in our smaller gatherings.


Also, there is something incredibly transformative about praying at seats of power–not only for the nation, but for the individual. I can safely say that God has used visits to Washington, D.C., to accomplish much in my heart. There is something about taking a stand in our nation’s capital – as both a citizen of heaven and of America – that is incredibly significant. My emotions have run the gamut when doing so, from overwhelming travail to exultant, powerful decrees. If you have never made such a pilgrimage, this would be a great time to do so. During my visits, not only have I been used by God, I have been marked. Nothing has caused me to “take ownership” of our country more than my visits to pray in Washington, D.C. Holy Spirit has reminded me many times while there, “Take ownership of this nation – it belongs to you.”


Why Communion?

The Lord has informed numerous leaders over the past few years that Communion would play a significant role in the coming revival. This is not a new phenomenon, by the way. The great Red River Meeting House and Cane Ridge revivals of the 1800s were born out of Communion. Those revivals rocked our nation and were used to birth the Second Great Awakening. It is no exaggeration to say that Communion birthed an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that saved our nation. 


Why would the Lord choose Communion to launch and be the focal point of revival? The answer seems simple: nothing honors, calls attention to, and reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice and our salvation more than partaking of the Lord’s Table. Imagine the honor He will feel when millions of His family do so together while appealing to Him for our nation. And imagine the terror hell will feel when we do so! Nothing overcomes the powers of darkness like the blood of Jesus. God’s decree of freedom for the human race was written with His blood. It covers the Mercy Seat of heaven and unlocks God’s mercy on earth.


The book of Hebrews says that the blood of Christ “speaks!” (Hebrews 12:24). Indeed, it does. Loudly. I believe its message of freedom will reverberate in the heavens over our nation next week, October 9-12, as millions of us join together to honor and call upon its life-giving power. 


Join us, either in person or online. And get behind this effort with your prayers and by spreading the word. You can also help with financial support; this event is costing a couple of million dollars. Ask the Lord if He would have you sow a gift. Ceci and I have done so. Please check out the link we are providing, which provides a more detailed explanation of the event and how to support it.


Pray with me:


Father, we know You relate to people, not just as individuals, but as groups of people. Family units are blessed and cursed, as are cities and entire nations. Nations also possess divine purposes and destinies. We know You raised up America to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the Earth. And though we have rejected You and turned from this calling, in Your mercy, You are restoring us. You have said we will experience a great harvest and be used, along with others, to reap an incredible harvest throughout the earth.


Thank You for leading David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn to host this Communion gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Now, we ask You to breathe Your life, favor, and blessing into it. Give it wind. Move upon the hearts of many to attend, and millions more to participate online. We ask that through this event, Christ would take His rightful place in our nation. As we partake of the bread and wine next week in D.C. on the grounds of the Washington Mall, arise and scatter Your enemies. Give us great breakthrough in the heavens, shattering strongholds and lifting the veil of darkness off millions of people. Let the power released as we gather merge with the power released from millions of prayers and other significant events in our nation over the past 30+ years. Amalgamate and synchronize the prayers into one explosive release of Your power. We ask for all necessary funds to cover the costs of this event.


Give us more righteous leaders in our three branches of government and impart to them wisdom and understanding, as they seek to transform and reset America back to health. Pour out Your Spirit on our government – let history read that the government of America was transformed by a Third Great Awakening. Awaken it! Enlighten it! Return it to our righteous roots. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.


Our decree: 


We decree that another great revival has begun in America, and will increase through the power of Christ’s blood sacrifice.

The Reset Has Begun


Like many people, we have a nice upright steamer that we use to touch up our clothing (Ceci no longer likes to use the ironing board). I recall several years ago, I turned on the steamer and was waiting for it to heat up. I became distracted by something in another room and walked away for “a few seconds.” Whatever had distracted me then completely captured my attention, and I forgot about the steamer; the seconds turned into an hour or so. 


When I remembered turning on the steamer, I ran to check on it, thinking I had either burnt up its motor, or perhaps even caught something on fire. Fortunately, there was no fire, but the water tank was empty, and the steamer would no longer operate. I refilled the tank, toggled the on/off switch several times, but I couldn’t get it to work. I had burned up the motor. This was a nice steamer, somewhat expensive, and I was really frustrated about ruining it. Several thoughts went through my mind: Do I take it somewhere and try to have it repaired? Do I tinker with it and try to fix it? Or do I just throw it away and buy a new one? 


Then I noticed a small button on the bottom edge of the steamer, almost hidden underneath it, that I had never seen before. Could it be? I wondered. Does this steamer have an automatic shut-off and a reset button/feature? I pressed the button, and a few seconds later could hear the water heating up. In a minute or two, I had steam. Saved by the reset!! Reset features are wonderful, saving a lot of time and preserving many items from the junk pile—if we know they’re there, that is. 


Currently, Congress, the Supreme Court, and especially the Trump administration are pushing the reset button on many areas of American governance. The borders were on overload, but Trump pushed the reset button. Spending was, and still is to a great degree, out of control, but Trump and Congress are pushing the reset button. The trade deficit was out of balance, but Trump pushed the reset button. Some federal judges were way out of control, but the Supreme Court has and continues to push reset buttons. Crime had gotten way out of control, but Trump and the National Guard are pushing the reset button. 


Yesterday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told America’s military officers that he was pushing the reset button. Our military would exist for war, not politics and social experiments. He outlined a 10-point plan to reset the military. “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate-change worship. No more division, distractions, and gender delusions. No more debris…we are done with that (expletive),” Hegseth declared.(1) Reset!


God resets things: individuals’ lives (2 Corinthians 5:17), times and seasons (Daniel 2:21), nations (Jeremiah 1:10; Job 12:23), careers (Acts 13:2-3), and more. One of the New Testament words that has the connotation of a reset is apokatistasis, which is used in Acts 3:21.(2) Translated as “restoration” in most versions of Scripture, it basically means to “restore something to its original condition.” Some lexicons use the word “reconstitute” to define this word. Constitution refers to an entity’s construction - how it is made - and/or how it functions. Obviously, reconstitute, restore, reset, and even reformation would be synonyms of one another. 


Acts 3:21 speaks of “seasons of restoration” - periods in which God is reconstituting situations on earth back to the way they’re supposed to be. The word “seasons” is a clear indication that historical resets of nations don’t happen instantly - there is no reset button for this. Nevertheless, the reconstitution occurs, restoring things to the way they are supposed to be. The margin of the Passion Translation states that here in Acts is the only time in the New Testament this form of the word is used, and that it is actually a medical term meaning “restoration of perfect health.”


God is restoring America to health and to His original purpose for her. He is reconstituting us. Unlike my steamer, it will take some time. But like my steamer, we have not been destroyed. God’s mercy, made possible through prayer and repentance, shut down the power flow of spiritual darkness that was attempting to destroy us. And He is resetting our nation. Pray for our leaders as they continue to do their part - we have a long way to go.


And also continue to pray for revival. Revivals enable the resetting of nations much more quickly, radically altering the mindset of millions of people. It is the closest thing to a cultural reset button. God has engaged it for us, and the water is heating. Feed this radical shift and reconstitution with your prayers as it unfolds and intensifies. 


Pray with me:


Father, thank You for restoration, for reconstituting and resetting people and nations. It is Your grace and mercy, received by faith, that restores us. You have said You are restoring our nation. We can certainly see this beginning and, by Your grace, we will see it through to completion. We ask that You reset our government, our families, our churches, and our schools. Reconstitute us to Your ways and to the purpose for which You created our nation. 


As revival continues to build momentum, we ask that it would touch all ages, races, and segments of society. We ask for powerful waves of revival to come into our inner cities, radically transforming them. Remove gangs and violence, and break the spirit of poverty from them. Raise up strong churches in these inner cities and wise leaders to spearhead revival and reformation. Deliver, heal, save, and transform. We also ask these things for the rural communities of our nation. Let no one escape the wave of revival as it sweeps across our nation.


And cause the transformation in our government to continue. Expose the corruption in the Deep State, the courts, Congress, and anywhere in the Executive branch of our government. Restore a God-honoring, God-fearing, Bible-believing government in our nation, just as it was in our nation’s beginning. All of these things we ask in Yeshua’s name. Amen.


Our decree:


We decree that the reconstitution of our nation has begun and will continue!

We Will Not Fear; We Will Not Back Down


Another church was viciously attacked over the weekend, a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. On Sunday, at least four people were killed and eight others wounded in the shooting attack, then the shooter set the church ablaze, with many people inside. At the time of this writing, it was feared they may find more casualties in the rubble of the burned building. 


Spirits of violence, hatred, and murder have been unleashed in our nation. This has been happening for some time, but now seems to be escalating. I don’t want to overspiritualize what is occurring – there are obviously multiple reasons and causes – but one of them is most certainly a spiritual door of violence and murder opened in America by the shedding of innocent blood through abortion. We are told very clearly in Scripture that this releases a curse on the land (Numbers 35:33; see also Proverbs 6:17). 


We are also instructed to “give no place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:27). “Place” comes from the Greek word topos,(1) from which we get the English word topography. This word is used not only to literally speak of lands 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 term “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 release his stealing, killing, and destroying (John 10:10). These sins can actually defile and bring curses to the very land upon which we live, according to the above verse in Numbers, as well as others. 


America’s sins, especially abortion, have given satan access to our land. Another sin that has opened the door to satan’s activities is the sin of rebellion. America rebelled against God, His Word, and His Lordship. Rebellion, we are told in Scripture, is the equivalent of witchcraft (1Samuel 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 still reaping the results of giving place to satan, one of those results being the violence and murder we are experiencing. (I am not suggesting that those affected are experiencing the violence because they personally sinned. But rather that in a general sense, it is taking place.)


And yet, there is “good news,” which is the meaning of the word “gospel.” The good news/gospel is that we can be forgiven – both individually and corporately – through the blood of Jesus, which was shed for our sins and is now on deposit, sprinkled on the Mercy Seat in heaven (Hebrews 9). The good news is also that God loves to redeem, not judge, and that His mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13). 


Americans have been unlocking this corporate forgiveness and cleansing, removing satan’s legal right to release death and violence, through repentance, the reversal of Roe vs Wade, and the enactment of righteous laws. The cleansing is not yet complete, however. One of the reasons is that the shedding of innocent blood is ongoing, as is rebellion and other forms of sin. But the cleansing IS occurring! 


Do not underestimate the power of our prayers. And don’t underestimate the power released when our national government reverses evil laws and enacts God-honoring edicts. The cleansing effects flow from the head to the body, and they remove the spiritual ground satan was given. Also, do not underestimate the power of those in government who pray and repent on behalf of our nation, calling on God for His forgiveness and mercy. Reread the post of September 26, titled “Mercy is Our New Currency.” We are appealing to heaven for this mercy, “purchased” for us through the blood of Jesus. Pray that believers in our government become increasingly bold in doing so, even publicly.


In the natural realm, I am expecting President Trump and his team to take stronger actions against the violence in our nation. God has given him and his team backbones of steel; they won’t back down, but will do everything they can to quell the violence and rebellion. This will generate more demonic manifestations and rebellious “tantrums” for a season, perhaps even more violence. When you see this, don’t fear. Stay in faith.


I am suggesting that churches all across our nation pray prayers of repentance in their corporate gatherings, asking God’s forgiveness for the shedding of innocent blood and for our rebellion against Him. Then ask that all of the territory given to satan through this defiling of our land – his “place” – be removed from him, and the spirit of violence and murder be broken off our land. Pray for protection over your members and your gatherings. 


I also suggest that we all do this for our homes and families. Declare that through the blood of Jesus, Psalm 91 will be fulfilled over you and yours. 


Satan is trying to stop what God has begun in our nation. He wants us to cower in fear and retreat from our stand for righteousness and truth. The current violence is one of his weapons for this. We will resist his attempts; we will not fear, we will not back up, we will not back down, and we will overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and the name of Jesus.


“There’s an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for [us] to minister here, even though there are many who oppose and stand against [us]… Remember to stay alert and hold firmly to all that you believe. Be mighty and full of courage.” ‭‭(1 Corinthians‬ ‭16‬:‭9,13‬ ‭TPT‬‬)


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


Our decree:


We decree that God’s mercy endures forever, knowing no end.
