God of the Impossible, Our Hope is in You! Much has been said of late about angel armies. My brother, Tim Sheets, has written an incredible book on this topic. We cannot do what needs to be done in this hour without these powerful warriors. It is comforting to know they are helping us. And it’s also important to know we can ask for their assistance. I am writing this post on my way home from Washington, D.C. Recently I was given a prophetic word that on my next visit to DC, the archangel Michael would be going with me. I waited for confirmation of when to take this trip and received it Friday night. Saturday morning I flew to DC to release prayers and declarations, asking the Father to release Michael and his war army. I have no doubt that was accomplished. A novel was released 30 or so years ago entitled, This Present Darkness. It was a book depicting how our prayers actually release angels to do what they need to do. I believe this. Please keep praying. Continue appealing and the Father will continue to respond; one way He will do this is by assigning angels to help us. While we were in DC, one of the team members I have been working with received a message from an intercessor. Paraphrasing it, in order to shorten it, the message said, “I don’t know if any of the team you pray with is at the Willard Hotel in DC, but if they are, Holy Spirit says it is significant and they are in the center of His will. The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written there.” Amazingly, though they did not even know we were in DC, we were, and we were staying in this hotel. They shared some words of this powerful song. Holy Spirit confirmations are so powerful they just can’t be made up! As we looked at the words, we realized they could have been written for today. This anthem reached its zenith of popularity during another season of national division and conflict, the Civil War. The great sin of that era was slavery. Today’s sin is 63 million babies slaughtered in the womb. God brought America through that devastating season, as terribly painful as it was. He will do so now in our season of difficulty and darkness. The song dates back to November 1861 when during the Civil War, Julia Ward Howe traveled to Washington, D.C. She reviewed the Union troops and met with President Lincoln. One night during Howe’s stay at the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC, she “awoke in the gray of the morning twilight; and as I lay waiting for the dawn, the long lines of the desired poem began to twine themselves in my mind.” She scribbled down the poem on a sheet of paper before she could forget. The poem was published in February 1862, in slightly altered form, as the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a title chosen by the editor of The Atlantic Monthly. These words, inspired by a drawing from the Bible, became the battle cry of a nation at war. The Battle Hymn of the Republic “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat; Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.” _________________ “So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you ageless doors of destiny! Welcome the King of Glory, for He is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this Glory-King? The Lord, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, invincible in every way! So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you ageless doors of destiny! Here He comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is the Lord of Victory, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, He is the King of Glory!” (Psalm 24:7-10 TPT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank God for His faithfulness. Praise Him for the angelic assistance He provides for us as we go to battle. Give praise to God for His mighty power to save and deliver us. May we allow God to sift our hearts, making sure there is no sin, that we are clean before Him. Commit to the Lord that you will not retreat, but will continue moving forward in your prayers and intercession for America. A prayer you can pray: Father, we thank You for Your amazing angels. Thank You for assigning them to help us in our endeavors; to encamp about us and keep us in all of our ways; to assist us in our assignments for You. Thank You especially in this season for the great warrior, Michael. Thank you for assigning him to this battle. We know he will help us prevail. We thank You also for the coming great revival that is about to be released, coming to the earth. You have said You are going to transform nations and save a billion people in this unprecedented outpouring. We know You plan to use America in this great revival. We need to be a strong nation for this, a free nation, and a prospering church. We thank You for the President we have had for the last 4 years whom You put there to strengthen the Church. We ask You to give him 4 more years. We pray for President Trump and his family. Lord, touch him, encourage him, draw him near to You. Protect his family from harm and hide them under the shadow of your wings. And Lord, thank You for the confirmation regarding the hotel and The Battle Hymn of the Republic. We decree that Your truth is indeed marching on. Your truth is part of our armor. Your glory is coming to America, and Your glory is going to release lightning against Your enemies to expose darkness and break strongholds. We ask You to do this aggressively, and quickly. And now Lord we decree over this nation that we will not be destroyed by this hatred and division. We will not lose this battle. We will prevail. We are more than conquerors through You, we always triumph in Christ. God of the impossible, we ask You for a miracle. We ask You for big changes this week. We ask that You shake our nation until everything not founded on the Rock will be shaken loose and exposed. Greater are You in us than he who fights against us, and You have given us victory. We war from Your exalted position of authority. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Decree: The King of Glory, the Commander of Heaven’s Host is visiting America this week!

Appeal to Heaven - It Still Works! A contemporary Christian song by Leeland, “Way Maker” states, “You are Waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness. My God, that is who You are. Even when I don’t see it, You’re working. Even when I don’t feel it, You’re working. You never stop, You never stop working. You never stop, You never stop working.” You can listen to it here. As my friend, Tom Schleuter, put it, “God will make a way where there is no way! Man’s options may be gone, but not God’s.” The Bible has many stories of God’s surprise endings. There are many instances where it appeared there was no way out, but God had a plan and as it unfolded, it was perfect. I immediately think of the Israelites, led by Moses, traveling from Egypt to the Promised Land. They came to an impassable obstacle at the Red Sea and it looked like their newfound freedom was over. Not only could they not move forward, it appeared they would be annihilated. I’m sure they wondered, “Had God trapped them? Had God even led them there at all? Maybe it was Moses’ fault—just a man they had foolishly followed to this seemingly dead end.” But the Way Maker made a way. Can He do it again? Yes, He can. Consider the following dream given to our friend Gina Gholston: “I dreamed there were hundreds and hundreds of people assembled on the top of a very high place. (I knew they represented the intercessors) These intercessors were waving a flag and fervently worshipping God. “The place where they were gathered was level and grassy, near the edge of a sheer cliff overlooking a valley. The valley below us was filled with many people who were mocking and taunting the intercessors. ‘Look at them. They are waving the white flag of surrender!’ they shouted. Undistracted, we intercessors kept waving the flag and fervently worshipping God! “Then someone in the valley shouted to the intercessors, ‘Show us your flag! What’s on that flag? It’s the white flag of surrender!’ And the crowd around him laughed. “Dutch Sheets replied, ‘Our flag is not for your eyes! Our flag is for Heaven’s eyes!’ Those of us among the intercessors all knew it was an Appeal to Heaven flag. “The crowd below continued to mock saying, ‘And what’s that song you sing?’ We replied, ‘Our song is not for your ears! Our song is from our heart to God’s heart, and our prayers are for His ears alone!’ The intercessors were not deterred and did not relent in their fervent prayers and worship to God. “Those in the valley huddled in small groups, plotting and scheming, but nothing they attempted worked. Again and again, they regrouped, making frenzied attempts to work their evil schemes; nothing they did worked. Realizing it was our actions interfering with their intentions, they became furious! “They turned to look back up at the intercessors and mockingly yelled, ‘What’s that flag you’re waving? It’s the white flag of surrender!’ “Their mocking was an attempt to distract the intercessors, but it didn’t work! The intercessors just continued to worship and pray! “This continued over and over. “Undistracted, the intercessors kept waving the flag as they prayed and worshipped, and those in the valley continued to be hindered in their maneuvers. No matter how they grouped themselves or what they tried, nothing they attempted would work! The interference from the prayers of the intercessors stopped every plan from working! “Suddenly, the intercessors stopped waving the flag and held it up by its four corners, revealing it fully to those in the valley. When they did, the mocking enemy fell over, seemingly dead. The intercessors stood reverently, with their faces set like a flint toward heaven. They had taken a stand!” Encouraging confirmations such as this continue coming to us from Holy Spirit. We are thankful that the appeal “still works.” I am confident a great outpouring of Holy Spirit is coming to America and the nations of the earth. And I’m certain America will fulfill her role in this. No strategy of darkness will stop it. America shall be saved! “When you arrive in your own land and go to war against your enemies who attack you, sound the alarm with the trumpets. Then the Lord your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies. Blow the trumpets in times of gladness, too, sounding them at your annual festivals and at the beginning of each month. And blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and peace offerings. The trumpets will remind your God of his covenant with you. I am the Lord your God.” (Numbers 10:9-10 NLT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Undergird President Trump in prayer and pray for his protection. Give thanks for what he has done for us as President. The Lord surely gave him to us. Stir up your faith to believe the Lord will still remember His covenant with America and fulfill His purposes for her. Declare to the evil and the dark powers that be, “You shall not detour nor destroy President Trump’s future or God’s plan to restore this country.” Declare that the word of the Lord is going forth to the nation—calling the Ekklesia into spiritual battle, establishing God’s will. Rejoice over God’s goodness to us and the fact that He will secure HIs covenant with America. A prayer you can pray: Father, we declare You are the Lord, our God, and we join You in standing against the enemy in our land. We align our decrees with Your words and Your will, knowing that You desire to save the United States of America. We thank You, Lord, for the President’s perseverance - He stands fast and he stands strong. You are using him to oppose what the enemy has been doing in America. We declare that the arrows of the enemy will not penetrate Your protective covering over him and his family. Cause the fiery darts to fall away. Bring him through this with health, strength and victory. We remain in agreement with what the prophets have prophesied—informing us of what You want to do. We thank you for everything You have done, as well as the great and mighty things You are about to do. We declare victory during this challenging season, boldly decreeing that America shall be saved. And we push back every plan and strategy of Satan - they will fail! We will not be distracted by the enemy’s taunting or actions, but will keep our eyes on You. You said hell’s gates won’t prevail against us. We believe this. We know You will give us complete victory. In Christ’s name we make our stand, and make these requests. Amen. Today’s decree: We decree that the appeal to heaven still works! You can find more about Gina Gholston here.

I invite you to join me each day as we pray for our nation until the election crisis has resolved. I’ll be reading the daily Give Him 15, making comments, and then we will pray together. You can join me here as we Appeal to Heaven for America. Stay in the Fight I was on the Victory Channel’s show Flashpoint! Thursday night. [You can watch the entire program here.] Asked to comment on the media’s relentless onslaught of distorted and imbalance information, I replied that we must keep in mind this is a spiritual battle. Many who hate and attack the President now, had no problem with Donald Trump before he became President and began interrupting their agenda. What we are seeing is demonically-inspired hatred, driving an ongoing plan to turn America away from God and our roots. The reason Satan is so bent on doing this is because of the destiny hanging over this nation. We are a nation created to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. There has never been another nation created for this purpose. The enemy hates this and has worked diligently for the last 50 years to turn us away from that destiny. When President Trump was elected and the momentum of this backsliding was stopped, anger rose within satan’s kingdom. He hates Trump’s resistance. As I have stated many times, my prayers regarding this election are ultimately not to support a man. They are in support of God and His purpose for America. It’s a spiritual war and we must stay focussed on that reality. Another guest stated later in the program their belief that President Trump would remain in office the next 4 years. I was asked to comment on that, as well. I responded that I have had 40 to 50 dreams sent to me during the past few months by credible prophets, all of them instructing the church to pray and stand even when it looks impossible. In at least 8 to 10 of the dreams, it looked like we had lost. Yet, at the end of the dream, God demonstrated that the battle was not over. In one dream, He said twice, “I am not late!” In another dream, Trump was in the White House, very distraught, sitting at his desk. He spoke to us, “All I ever wanted to do was to release freedom in America. All I wanted was for the people to hear the sound of freedom. The sound of freedom has been captured. I tried for 4 years to free this sound.” Then, he asked, weeping, “Have I failed?” I replied to him (in the dream), “No sir. You have not failed. It is not too late.” I don’t believe the battle is over. God warned us it would look like it’s over before it’s over. I want to reiterate, however, that I would be warring with the same intensity without these dreams. They are helpful, but not my motivation, The cause of Christ is my motivation. The babies are my motivation, The first and most important covenant God established on earth--marriage between a man and a woman--is my motivation. God being honored in America motivates me. The controversy some want to generate over the accuracy of prophets regarding Trump mystifies me. Those who need a prophecy to fight for the above causes concern me. And though I still believe God is going to give us a miracle, I don’t need that either. Some things are simply worth fighting for - period. Regarding the need for perseverance, even when it looks like it’s too late, let me share a situation in my own life. Thirty years ago, God assigned me to pray for a young girl in a coma. She was essentially in a vegetative state. A disease had attacked her brain and was destroying it. She was fed through a tube; had been this way for about 2 years. The Lord told me to go every week, pray an hour for her, and do this until He gave her a new brain. I did so, praying over her at least an hour every week (plus an hour drive), while seeing no results for a year. Numerous times I questioned the Lord as to whether he had truly led me to do this. Perhaps I had heard wrong. He assured me He did assign me to this, so I continued. At the end of a year, her sister contacted me to say if I wanted to see this girl alive one last time, I needed to do so right away. The doctors had told the family she was going to die. When I arrived, faith rose up within me and I decreed, “You will not die. You will live! You will have a new brain, and nothing can stop this!” Two days later, the Lord walked into her hospital room and completely healed her, giving her a new life. I do not know why God waited. He waited until it seemed to be too late, but He did. I share this story for a couple of reasons. Obviously, I do so to emphasize that sometimes it isn’t over when it looks like it is. But I also share it to acknowledge that there were several times when I wanted to give up. Staring at a comatose, 20 year old young lady for 70 hours is anything but encouraging. I had to continually go back to the Lord, asking if I had indeed been assigned to this. He assured me that I had. I have done so in this situation, as well. And I believe God has said to persevere, that He is going to work a miracle at the midnight hour. But as I said yesterday, if, God forbid, I’m wrong and we lose this battle, I will not regret having stood. Not for a moment. Warring for what’s right is always right. Always. Stay in this fight. “And Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.’” (Exodus 14:13 NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask the Lord for grace to stand firm in faith regardless of what you are seeing and hearing in the natural. Call for the Lord to come in a mighty show of strength and power. Declare that the president will be saved by the One who put him in office. Declare that freedom will be saved by the One who gave it. Declare that this nation and its covenant and destiny will be saved by the One who established it. Declare that every enemy of the Lord will be struck down. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we say now that You have not failed us. You have not failed President Trump and You have not failed our nation. You are moving us into a new place. We are in a defining moment - people are deciding whether they are going to stand, or whether they are going to accept defeat. Lord, we ask You for the ability to stand firm. By Your grace, we will stand for Your purposes. We will believe You despite what we see. We will not judge by what our eyes see or what our ears hear. You are coming to the earth with a mighty wave of Your power. You are coming to deliver, coming to work miracles. We are going to see powerful things taking place. Deuteronomy 33 tells us there is no one like You, God. You come to help us. We can rest in You. You will drive out all of our enemies. You will utterly destroy them. You are going to bring our nation through this. You are going to be seen. You will be revealed as Savior. You will vindicate Your people. You will trample down every high and lofty thing that has risen up against You. Encourage President Trump. Bless our nation. Let us be saved by You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: God is never late and His plans for America are not over!

The Warrior Heart Early Thursday morning Congress did what I knew they would. Vice President Pence did, as well. A few members of Congress who had planned to protest some states’ electoral votes, decided to renege after having received the violent treatment that thousands of Americans have been experiencing for several years now. Not that it would have mattered, the same result would have occurred. Please don’t misunderstand my cynicism about Congress members’ response to the rioting - I condemn Wednesday’s violence in the strongest terms. But many of us, unlike some of the hypocrites in Congress, have been condemning the violence for years now, when it was NOT being done to us personally. I’m sure the thousands around the country who have lost jobs, homes, businesses, eyes, the ability to walk and more, are grateful to hear some of the members of Congress finally condemn the violence. I still haven’t quite figured out, however, how idiots storming the Capitol suddenly meant voting illegalities that needed to be contested, no longer mattered. On a serious note, I realize Wednesday’s occurrences have devastated some believers so much that they’ve lost the will to fight. The faith of many has been shaken. While I understand - days like Wednesday are a gut punch - my response is simply that for me, nothing has changed: My faith is in God, not in any particular way He might reverse the election. I have many credible dreams and words that have been given to me (at least 40-50) from credible prophets encouraging me to stand. This includes at least 8-10 that have said it will look like it is over, when it isn’t. Incidentally, I would be fighting just as hard without the prophetic words and dreams. What I believe in would still compel me to stay in the fight. I am doing this for God, His purposes for America and the nations; and I’m fighting for the coming generations, including the unborn. Not for Donald Trump. I’m confident there were enough illegalities to have affected the election outcome. And if - God forbid - we don’t prevail, I’ll be able to say I never gave up. One day, I’ll look 10 million more aborted babies in the eye (that many more abortions WILL occur if the left takes over this nation) and tell them, “I didn’t quit on you!” For those who agree with me on these points and still possess a heart to fight, here are a few thoughts from my book, The Way Back, regarding the warrior spirit. “At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, General George Washington instructed his troops: ‘The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.’ The warrior spirit was essential in order to win America’s freedom. “This kind of warrior’s heart is also necessary in Christianity. The Kingdom of God is full of paradoxes - seeming contradictions. This is one of them: though called to possess the quality of love more than any other, even to the point of laying down our lives (1 Corinthians 13) and pursuing peace with all men (Hebrews 12:14), we believers are also called to be spiritual warriors (Ephesians 6:12-20). “General Patton once said to his troops, ‘You must acquire the warrior’s soul.’ What strong and appropriate charges Washington and Patton gave their soldiers! It seems that far too many Americans have lost the warrior’s soul, both naturally and spiritually. Most people want someone else to do their fighting for them. Warriors, on the other hand, fight when necessary, and push forward. They are willing to war for what they love and believe in. “In the Old Testament God shares examples with us of warrior hearts. They are examples, not because we are called to force His will on people, but so their internal traits can be applied to our spiritual battles. “One such example was Benaiah, one of David’s ‘mighty men’ and on my list of favorite Old Testament characters (see 1 Chronicles 11:22-24). This heroic and bold warrior killed a lion. It seems the marauding lion was threatening a village in Israel, which motivated the villagers to set a trap by digging a pit, then baiting the lion into it. Okay, so now what? Without today’s tranquilizing methods, how would they dispose of the lion? Cage it and move it to another region? Or perhaps kill it using spears, arrows, or even stones? Several options were possible - just stay out of the pit! “Not Benaiah. “For some reason, incomprehensible except to the warrior’s heart, this soldier didn’t want to kill the lion from above. ‘Out of my way,’ he shouted. And before anyone could stop him, Benaiah jumped into the pit - ‘on a snowy day,’ scripture adds for good measure - and killed the lion (see 2 Samuel 12:20). “Warrior? I think so. “Eleazar was another David-inspired warrior. ‘He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and clung to the sword, and the Lord brought about a great victory that day,’ (2 Samuel 23:10). What amazing determination and tenacity! In defending the nation of Israel, Eleazar fought past his weariness, and when no longer possessing the physical strength needed to control his hand, he held onto the sword with his heart! When the battle was over, Eleazar’s comrades waded through the bodies and peeled his hand from his sword If you are weary in this battle for the soul of America, my advice to you is to grip your sword with your heart. “The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name. In Your faithfulness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; in Your strength, You have guided them to Your holy habitation.” (Exodus 15: 2-3, 13 NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask God to awaken a warrior’s heart in you. Be honest with God, expressing your weariness, but also drinking of His presence for renewed strength and will to fight. Draw strength from spending time in God’s presence and with other like-minded believers. Ask Holy Spirit to make you one who has the tenacity and persistence to persevere, even to the extent of having your sword molded into your hand as you wield it for the cause of Christ. Boldly declare that He is your strength and your song, express your praise to Him because of His unending faithfulness. A prayer you can pray: Father, it is an honor to partner with You as You turn this nation back to You and restore us to our wonderful destiny. As we move through different phases of the process, we ask You to give us the ability to be unwavering in our faith. And when we do waver we ask You for strength to move back into positions of faith. And we are confident You will give us this strength. We pray for those who were traumatized by Wednesday’s violence. We pray that any spirit of fear attempting to grip them would not be allowed to do so. We pray for any who were injured that they would fully recover. And we pray for the families of those who lost their lives. Give them peace and healing, we pray. And Lord, we continue to pray for righteous government in this nation. We ask You for government leaders who honor life from conception to death. We ask for leaders who will honor your definition of marriage, and of a man and woman. We ask You to send a spirit of awakening and revival to America that restores our national soul. And Lord, because we believe his policies lineup more with your ideals and principles, we ask You to do a miracle and give Donald Trump four more years as president. Please do not allow those who oppose You to rule over us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Decree: I decree that the sword is gripped in my hand and I will not let go until we see God’s will come to pass for America.

The Day After You no doubt, saw the happenings that took place in Washington D.C., yesterday. It was a day that will be remembered forever. The marches, the speakers, Congress’ attempt to hold session, and the storming of the Capitol building that shut everything down. So where do we go from here. Obviously, Congress has reconvened and the joint session continues. Although the protests and debates continue regarding the 7 contested states, the possibility of a 10-day hold on certifying the electoral votes rests on only two possibilities: The first possibility is that Vice President Pence could decide to allow this. The President’s legal team as well as some in Congress, feel Pence has the right to delay this vote, others do not. Some actually believe he can choose which set of dueling electors to accept. He does not. From The Epoch Times: “Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday said he doesn’t believe he has the ‘unilateral authority’ to decide between competing slates of electors. ‘It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,’ Pence said in a statement released just before the joint session of Congress began.” Again, Pence does not believe he has the right to do so, nor does he intend to at this point. We should pray that Vice President Pence will realize he is in an Esther moment and this personal belief should change. The second possibility is for Congress itself to vote to allow this delay. The Republican Legislators in each of the contested states have sent letters asking Congress and Vice President Pence to give them this extension. They contend that more evidence of fraud has surfaced since the acceptance of the votes in their states, causing them to reconsider their choice of electoral votes. They would like more time to do further investigation. This seems reasonable, but as it stands, there are not enough members of the U.S. Congress who are willing to allow this delay to take place. If this remains the case, again, Pence would have to stand up on his own and allow the 10-day delay. Let me say that I have never placed my faith in any one solution. Of course, I would like to see Vice President Pence give the 10-day hold on the certification, but if he does not, I still believe God has another way. I’ll be surprised if enough members of Congress are persuaded to allow this 10-day delay but again, my faith will not be shaken if that proves to be the case. My faith is not in any of these avenues; it is in God alone. If I were basing my faith on anything other than what I believe God has said, I would have left this fight a long time ago. I certainly do not know how God is going to do this, but I still believe He is. Yes, it will take a miracle, but that is where we have always been in this battle. And since I am warring for our nation’s God-given destiny, which I believe would be seriously hindered under a Biden presidency, giving up is not an option. Today some credible people made me aware of evidence about to be released which - if true - could be a game-changer. I do not know if this is accurate but I have always believed something completely undeniable would eventually be revealed, blowing the lid off all the corruption. I also believe this information will be so shocking that it will awaken the conscience and passion of the American people. I still believe this will happen. Let’s pray that if the new evidence is credible, that it gets to the right people quickly. Finally, several prophets have said this chaos and battle will last until close to Inauguration Day. Three have said the unrest would continue until the 17th or 18th of January. Don’t get discouraged. We must not give up but continue to stand and pray. I would love for this to have ended yesterday, but it did not. And do not be distracted by days like today. Stay focused, and keep your faith grounded in what you believe God has said. Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Remind yourself that faith is the evidence of things not yet seen. Remember not to place your faith in any one avenue of breakthrough. Keep your focus on why we are in this battle. We are warring for the purposes of God in our nation, not for a man. Ask God to bring an earth-shattering revelation of the corruption that took place. A prayer you can pray: Father, it is our joy to partner with You in Your cause of harvest and kingdom advancement. We are so very grateful for what You have given us in this nation. And we know that in the same way Abraham was blessed to be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, America has been blessed for the same reason. We are willing to war for that destiny. We will never allow it to be stolen from this great nation. We have been to Cape Henry to reclaim it, and we believe the well of covenant is now flowing from there into our nation. Our faith is in You, Father, and what we believe You have said. We are confident You have instructed us to engage in this battle, and we do so. We ask you for breakthrough. We ask You for complete exposure of what took place in this election. We ask for it to be so undeniable that no one doubts it any longer. And we ask for this to happen in a timely fashion so that Joe Biden is not inaugurated before it occurs. We ask You for justice. We also ask You to remove the dark evil cloud that is in our Capitol; that you would drive out the bats that were shown in the dream. We ask You to bring revival to Washington D.C., including Congress. We ask for it to be so great that You are welcome there once again, and honored in the way You should be honored. We pray for our President, that You would give him a second term. We pray for Vice-President Pence, that he will do what is right. God of miracles, You can do this! We ask You to do so, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Decree: Our faith is in God alone, and He will give us victory.

I invite you to join me each day as we pray for our nation until the election crisis has resolved. I’ll be reading the daily Give Him 15, making comments, and then we will pray together. You can join me here as we Appeal to Heaven for America. Today History is Made Today is one of the most critical days in our history. This past Sunday, my brother, Tim Sheets, said, “The Holy Spirit has sent out an air raid alarm! Many intercessors are hearing it. It is a serious and immediate warning to now enter into fasting and prayer for America! God is letting me know that we were born for this exact time and He needs us on the wall now.” The United States Congress will be meeting in a joint session TODAY at 1:00PM Eastern Time—both Senate and House of Representatives—in order to accept or reject the votes of the Electoral College presented on December 14, 2020. As a reminder: 7 states have sent 2 sets of Electoral votes, called “dueling votes.” They are Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. Each of these states has been enmeshed in election fraud and provable reports of serious ballot-counting discrepancies. More than 100 patriots in the House of Representatives, led by Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, are planning to object to the electoral votes cast by the 6 contested states. Patriots in the U.S. Senate were a little later to step forward, as Senate Majority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky actually warned Senators not to dispute the Electoral College vote. Despite this manipulation, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri boldly stepped forward and stated, “Somebody has to stand up. 74 million Americans are not going to be told their voices don’t matter.” You can read his entire statement here on why he decided to buck the GOP leadership in the Senate and dispute the Electoral College vote. And as we told you Monday, since he boldly took a stand, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and 11 other Senators have joined him. Senator Cruz’s statement is strong and you can read it here. As a reminder, it is the goal of the objectors, as described by Senator Cruz, “To immediately appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority, to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states. Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission's findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.” Upon conclusion of the 10-day audit and presentation of its findings, a vote based on factual evidence will determine if electoral votes in the 6 contested states are accepted or rejected. The November 3, 2020 election has been an event that will forever mark this nation. Actions and plans we could not see before then have now been clearly brought into the light. However, the media has gaslighted the American people so severely that a large portion of the country still thinks there was no election fraud, others that there was not enough to make a difference. And, of course, some simply don’t care. In the church, some are standing strong, while others have given up. There are also those who don’t believe it actually matters who is in control of government—that God’s purposes will proceed unaffected. This, however, certainly wasn’t the case in Israel’s history. A “man after God’s heart” (David) was needed to replace King Saul, who had no interest in the things of God – not even in honoring the Ark of the Covenant. The entire nation of Israel was, in fact, judged because of an episode of King Saul’s covenant breaking. The Jews of Europe in the 1940s probably wouldn’t agree with the “it doesn’t matter who is in government” theology; neither would the unborn babies of today. Ask the Christians of Turkey how the spreading of the gospel in their nation - and their well-being - has fared during the last few centuries under radical Islamist rule. Of course, it matters to the cause of Christ who is in control of government! Today, let us be those who hold up the arms of the brave men and women of the United States Congress that will stand up and say, “This election had too many clear evidences of fraud and we want an audit of the election results in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico.” For the sake of our nation’s calling and future, dedicate this day to intercession for them. Many thousands of people, perhaps up to a million, have gathered in Washington, D.C., today to intercede onsite - outside the U.S. Capitol building, a Jericho March around the Capitol and Supreme Court grounds, and prayer in other locations. Whether you are physically there or not, pray today as if the life of our Republic depends on it. Indeed, it does. And finally, pray for Vice President Pence. There is much debate over how much authority he actually has to stop the certification. One thing is certain, however, his name is coming to the top more and more as I listen to what intercessors and prophets are saying around the nation. He may be the most important player today; certainly, he is one of them. Pray intensely for him to be led by Holy Spirit in his decision-making. “I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself, who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers.” (Isaiah 44:24-26 NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Dedicate this day to the Lord. Make it a day of humility and fasting. Take communion, if possible. God is never late, but exactly on time. We have been fasting and praying, declaring, and decreeing, and now we find ourselves at this critical moment. Consider everything that has transpired and been brought out into the open during the 61 days since Election Day. Thank Him. Pray for grace and strength for the brave patriot Senators and Representatives who will stand up today and demand an audit of the election results of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, before they agree to certify any Electoral College votes. Boldly call for divine surprises in the House and Senate chambers today! Pray that Vice President Pence does the right thing. Pray that he is strong and fearless. Pray that he moves in the fear of God, not the fear of man. Declare that the intercession of the saints of the Most High God, and the righteous decrees of His prophets, will ultimately determine the outcome of these elections. A prayer you can pray: God, we humble ourselves and pray on this historically, significant day in America. You have brought us to this day. So much has been brought out from under the cover of darkness; alliances and motives have been revealed. Thank You! Yet some Governors, Secretaries of State, and State legislatures have ignored all of the fraud in the 2020 elections. Judges and Justices of the United States Supreme Court have rejected cases brought before them that could have resolved violations of election laws. But thank you for the Citizens who have raised an outcry, some even conducting investigations of their own, causing their state legislatures to hold hearings regarding these matters. However, here we are on January 6th, Lord, with the Electoral College vote before our U. S. Congress—the members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives will be deciding our nation’s future today. Lord, we boldly ask You to intervene. And we are confident You will! We war from victory. Cause a move of Your Holy Spirit in the House chambers where they will be meeting today. May Your angels also join them. Cause hearts to stir and let passionate and anointed pleas for election integrity be made at this late hour. Let the signatures of more than 100 Representatives and Senators be brought forward. Do not let them back down! In fact, cause even more of them to stand and make their public objection be heard. Courage can be catching! We ask that it would be so today. Give us Divine surprises today, Lord! Our future is securely in Your hands, as is the future of our children, our nation, and the free world. Father, we pray for Vice President Pence. This may be his Esther moment in history. Please move on his heart in an undeniable way. May he know it is You. And give him the strength to do what he knows You are saying. And we break off of him all fear of man and release him to operate only in a holy fear of You. Maker of all things, overthrow those today who have considered themselves wiser than You, rejecting and covering up all the fraud. Let their statements be seen as the nonsense they are. Carry out the words You have put in the mouths of Your praying church. Let them be manifested! Fulfill the decrees You put in the mouths of Your prophets. Shut the mouth of Leviathan, the spirit that twists truth. Let the battle for America’s future be turned today in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: The voices of American citizens and patriotic members of Congress, who are standing up for righteous American elections, will be heard and the enemy’s plan overthrown today! NOTE: We encourage you to watch today’s Give Him 15 post on YouTube. At the end, Dutch shares a dream and leads us in a time of prayer for this important day. The dream and ending prayer are not included in the written portion of today’s Give Him 15. You can watch the entire 33 min video here.

Is It Worth It? “When God led the early Pilgrims to this land - He was obviously involved in the process - they came with hearts willing to pay whatever price the dream would cost them. A part of their stated cause was, ‘For the Glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith…’ The stories and pictures of these Pilgrims usually depict happy, well-fed individuals seated around Thanksgiving tables filled with turkey, corn, pumpkin pies, and other bountiful foods. This eventually occurred, but not initially. “The Pilgrims arrived on a cramped and dirty ship. After spending many days huddled below deck to endure a raging storm, they found themselves in sloshing water filled with human waste and vomit. Holding their frightened and sick children, they prayed for God’s intervention and safe arrival, which eventually occurred. But ill-prepared for the trials of this new land, including a brutal winter, more than half would perish before the end of their first summer. “These Pilgrims weren’t failures, however. Planting a cross on the beach where they landed - Cape Henry - and dedicating this land to the gospel and the glory of God, they created a holy legacy. Heaven still honors the trail they blazed and the prayers they prayed. Buried in the soil of freedom, they became a vital part of the heritage we now enjoy. Pioneers all, their legacies live. “The price they paid to create an outpost for the gospel created a debt for those who followed, including us today. The debt we owe is not only to preserve freedom, but is also to preserve this land as a light of truth - a beacon, a city on a hill - to all other nations. History will record whether we answer the call and pay this debt or fail to do so. If we pay our debt today, the difficult trail we blaze back to the old road will become the glorious path our children walk tomorrow. “America was formed with the blood, sweat and tears of many price-paying pioneers. When John Adams was elected as a Boston delegate in 1770, he knew it was considered treason to the King of England; Adams believed the decision would cost him everything. He informed his wife Abigail, ‘I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin…I give you this warning, that you may prepare your mind for your fate.’ “According to Adams, Abigail burst into tears and cried out, ‘Well, I am willing in this cause to run all risks with you, and be ruined with you, if you are ruined.’ “What amazing passion these two patriots possessed for the cause! “Contrast this sacrificial and servant-motivated attitude to the selfish lust for prestige, power, and financial gain motivating many civic leaders in America today. The difference is disgusting. At the signing of the Declaration of Independence a few years later, Adams, along with his fellow-signers, again accepted the potential and probable cost of freedom: ‘For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’ “Adams would later state to Abigail, ‘I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this Declaration and support and defend these states. Yet through all gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is more than worth all the means.’” (Taken from my book The Way Back) “Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds but sound leadership has a moral foundation. But God is the judge, and justice comes from Him. The wicked hate those who live a godly life, but the righteous hate injustice wherever it’s found.” (Proverbs 16:12; 29:26b-27) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Spend some time thinking about the price others have paid for our blessings. Recommit, at a deep level, to the cause. Pray for those going to Washington today. Pray for their strength, safety, and protection. Pray for those in places of government leadership. Pray that integrity, loyalty, covenant faithfulness, and patriotism will prevail. As always, pray for our President and his team. Pray for his family as well. A prayer you can pray: Father, we ask You for incredible breakthrough this week. We ask You, Holy Spirit, to oversee what happens in our nation’s capital. We build on the prayers and sacrifices of those who came before us. We honor their sacrifices and the commitment they demonstrated. We ask You, as we agree with them, to give us the same hearts they displayed. As they agree with us from the balconies of heaven, may the synergy of the ages be manifested this day. Give us multiplied power through agreement with them and their labors. We ask You for incredible power to be released. And Lord, we speak blessings over the gatherings in Washington. We decree that the power of Holy Spirit will hover over our nation’s capital this week, that angels will be there by the millions, including Michael and his warring angels. We thank you for their help. We believe every word You have spoken, Father, and we expect nothing but victory. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen Decree: America will experience incredible breakthrough this week as we partner with one another, the cloud of witnesses, and the host of heaven!

ENOUGH! This week stacks up to be one of the most significant in America’s history. Millions of patriotic Americans have realized we are now fighting for the life of our Republic, even if most of the career-minded politicians have not. Sadly, for many in Congress, prestige and power satisfies their ambition-ruled appetites. Thankfully, several oath-keeping, constitutionalist patriots in the House and Senate have now risen up, along with millions of angry Americans, to say “ENOUGH!” Thousands of these patriots will descend on Washington, DC this week - perhaps millions. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said of this election that it was “the biggest presidential theft since Adams and Clay robbed Andrew Jackson in 1824.”In case you didn’t do the math, that’s just four years shy of 200 years! Hopefully, those in Washington who could care less about this will find themselves looking for another job when their next election rolls around. Isn’t it a shame we cannot also vote out the spineless and/or ideologue judges? Thankfully, a group of 12 Senators has decided they will join the 100 plus House members in raising objections to the certification of the election. They’re asking for a 10-day investigation into accusations of wrongdoing: “Congress should immediately appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority, to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states. Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed. “Accordingly, we intend to vote on January 6 to reject the electors from disputed states as not ‘regularly given’ and ‘lawfully certified’ (the statutory requisite), unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed.” (Newsmax) Link to article Is that too much to ask? Perhaps McConnell, Thune, and other Senate Republican leaders, who have all but threatened their colleagues, warning them not to make waves by objecting to the electoral votes, should remember the 4 years of baseless challenges by the Democrats to Trump’s 2016 election. As the group of 12 Senators stated: “America is a Republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections. Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law. “When the voters fairly decide an election, pursuant to the rule of law, the losing candidate should acknowledge and respect the legitimacy of that election. And, if the voters choose to elect a new office-holder, our Nation should have a peaceful transfer of power. The election of 2020, like the election of 2016, was hard-fought and, in many swing states, narrowly decided. The 2020 election, however, featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.” (The Epoch Times) Link to article Let’s be in prayer all week that more and more members of Congress rise up and decide to protest this mockery of an election. Pray that the voices of those who have decided to protest the vote make a difference. Pray that so much voter fraud information is exposed this week that they can no longer dodge the issue. Pray that a sense of patriotic duty and moral integrity drives their decisions and they find themselves compelled to make a righteous stand. And pray for those going to Washington DC this week, that they are kept safe. It is likely to be a tumultuous week. “The Lord foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” (Psalm 33:10-12 NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask God for tremendous grace to be poured out on America this week. Pray for protection for those going to and leaving Washington DC, and also while they are there. Determine to be faithful in praying for all that is taking place this week. Pray for the Senators and House members who have chosen to make a stand. And pray that more will come forward to do so. As always, pray for the President and his team: for strength, wisdom, provision, and information. And continue to pray that all fraud will be exposed. Prayer: Father, we ask You for Your grace to be abundant on our nation this week. We ask You to intervene in a miraculous way in Congress, in court decisions, and in state legislatures. We ask You to expose all fraud and cause many in our nation who have refused to acknowledge it to finally do so. We ask You for such a revelation of hidden things that the American people will rise up and say “No!” to this election fraud; that there will be a huge outcry. We have been expecting surprise revelations - let them come this week. We pray especially for Rudy Giuliani and his legal team. Please give them the information, wisdom, and favor they need. And give them the ability to get this information revealed to the American people. Thank You, Lord, for the privilege of partnering with You for Your cause in the earth. We are humbled to be part of this nation that has such a high calling. Thank You for that. Now we believe You for complete restoration of that calling, as we move into the greatest harvest in the history of the earth. May You be glorified through this nation once again. Amen. Decree: The authority of Christ’s kingdom will be released over the United States of America this week!

I invite you to join me each day as we pray for our nation until the election crisis has resolved. I’ll be reading the daily Give Him 15, making comments, and then we will pray together. You can join me here as we Appeal to Heaven for America. God Will Use a Remnant Filled With His Brave Heart The next few days are going to be very significant. Four days from now there will be a joint session of Congress where they will either accept or dispute the electoral college votes. State legislatures are deciding whether or not to rise up and dispute the fraudulent votes. The President is facing difficult decisions regarding whether or not to employ certain options. And the courts are deciding on what to do regarding various cases (including how to “dodge” them). My brother, Tim Sheets, has a message we all need to hear as we press in, intercede, and fast. “We must end the delusional thinking that it takes a majority to change things. It does not. That kind of thinking can demoralize us. We think thoughts like: ‘What can we do? We will never get everyone to work together and do this.’ However, we have to understand that in the Kingdom of God, though we may be smaller in number, the odds are in our favor. In God’s battles, numbers don’t decide victories and they never have. What we need more than numbers are passionate warriors who will not give up the fight. “Jesus said the Holy Spirit would be with us, in us, and that He would always give us the advantage. Christ uses a remnant of high-impact people with courage and resolve who are anointed by the Holy Spirit to become history-changers. This is the era for the remnant warriors - historymakers - to arise and be who God says we are. We are to do what God says we can do. “In the American Revolution, history teaches that only one-third of the people in the young colonies were Patriots. One-third were Loyalists—those remaining in support of the British throne and its bully government. The other 40% did not care one way or the other. Sadly, that is the picture today, as well. It is also a picture of the nominal church; far too many just don’t care. The remnant is bearing the burden by themselves, and this is causing needless hardship and delay. Nevertheless, it won’t stop us. “More than numbers, the early Patriots had a depth of conviction that we are going to have to display in 2021. We must. They were unflinching in their resolve, committed to freedom and liberty. They had faithful endurance, passion, and heart for a cause that would bless their children and future generations of children. Sacrifice was embraced as a virtue; it was honorable, and they changed their moment of history. Because of their resolve, we are the United States of America, with a solid Republican form of government, that has lasted more than 200 years. “It is consistent throughout scripture that God only needs a remnant. Consider Gideon’s 300 - they faced thousands. Though they were not many, God anointed them to win a battle that restored seven years of lost harvest. There were only 120 at the Upper Room, obediently waiting for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They were not many, but they were enough and turned their whole world upside down. Miracles were prevalent and a great harvest occurred. They defined their moment in history - the church was birthed. “The remnant God has to work with today is far more than 120. It’s millions! Think of the stand we can make in this new era. We can change a nation; we can change our world. We must never get to a point where we think God can’t do a particular thing. He sometimes uses only one, as He did when He gave David the ability to kill Goliath and save Israel. Think what He can do through millions. I not only believe He can do something. I believe He will.” “David answered, ‘You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you curse and mock. This very day God is handing you over to me... The whole earth will know that there’s an extraordinary God in Israel. And everyone gathered here will learn that God doesn’t save by means of sword or spear. The battle belongs to God—he’s handing you to us on a platter!” (1 Samuel 17:45-47 MSG) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Consider historical and biblical remnants used by God to bring about His purposes. Let faith arise in you. Declare, “The patriotic remnant will arise and, together with Holy Spirit, will save America once again!” Ask the Lord to remove all corruption, injustice, and demonic presence from the halls of our government. Pray for the complete cleanup of each branch of government—the Executive, Congress, and the Judicial system. Decree, “The future of this nation will be secured.” A prayer you can pray (by Tim Sheets): God, come to America today. Come and strike against Your adversaries. As Your church makes a stand with You, as Your warriors rise, we will not look at numbers and we will not back down. We will draw up in faith and send forth missiles of Your Word. Come and remove the corruption. Remove the injustice in our justice system. Remove the corruption in our Congress. Remove the duplicity in our state houses. Come, Lord, and heal our land. Let Your Holy Spirit and His power synergize with the millions and millions of prayers that have gone forth into this season and into this election. Anoint them with power. Let those prayers become weapons in the arms of Your mighty warring angels. Come to America. Come to our land. Let not the faith and resolve of our forefathers be wasted. Let the plans activated by the fires of hell, in darkness by lawless demons, fall to the ground now. Snuff them out. Let the Jezebel spirit influencing many in the halls of our Congress, those under her influence that want to hold government as their own, be routed now. Knock the corruption away. Batter it away in response to the prayers of Your saints. Let a remnant of legislators arise and do what they must to keep this nation on Your course. Remove the deception from their eyes, as we pray. Let them see how high the stakes really are. Let them watch how the bloodthirsty ones drool over the thought of illegitimately ruling there. Move them to do the right thing for the future of this great nation You have raised up as Your own. Thank You for acting on our behalf, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: The Lord has used a remnant of the Church to pray and He will act on these prayers. America will be saved! Learn more about Tim Sheets here.

Happy New Year! Running with the Horses Gina Gholston, a prophetic friend of ours and member of the team I’ve been taking on prayer assignments around the nation, sent me a powerful dream yesterday. Here is a portion of it: “This morning, December 31, I dreamed I was with our prayer team, and we were coming back from having accomplished an assignment. We were leading tall, muscular horses by their bridle reins. The horses still had on their saddles and we were leading them alongside a whiteboard fence. Dutch Sheets was leading his horse in front of us. Our horses didn’t appear to be tired but were hot and sweaty. We had apparently been running them hard. “We came to what appeared to be a very large barn. There was a door leading underneath the floor of this barn. Once we entered, we gathered our horses into one area; there was barely enough height for our horses to stand. “We could see another door on the opposite side of this space and knew the way out was through that door. However, with the low ceiling - some places lower than others - there were low places where our horses could possibly get stuck. A couple of team members began measuring the height throughout the space, marking a trail the horses could meander through safely. We all returned to our horses and led them along the marked path, exiting through that door. “As we departed, we found ourselves in a field and could see the U.S. Capitol Building in front of us. We then mounted our horses and as we sat looking at the building, we began to hear air sirens. These were like the air raid sirens you would hear in old World War II movies. “As the sirens were sounding, we saw a large hand come down from the sky, taking hold of the dome of the Capitol Building. The fingers of the hand wrapped around the dome and the thumb of the hand flicked the dome open. It was hinged. When it was opened, a very thick, black smoke began rising up out of the building. The smoke was so thick it was almost solid in appearance, actually resemblling a living thing. The dome remained open until all of the black smoke finished rising. “The hand then reached around the dome and closed it. The thick smoke hovered over the dome until a powerful wind came. However, the wind did not blow the smoke away. Rather, it (the wind) became like a a net and gathered the smoke into a bundle. A rope tied the top of the bundle and it was then flung out of sight. “As we listened, we heard a Cavalry bugle playing the signal to ‘charge!’ We began moving toward the Capitol, not at a full gallop, but a steady, determined, fast trot. As we began, written in white letters on the ground in front of us, were the words, ‘DON’T STOP.’” End of dream. In dream symbolism, horses represent strength and speed. I believe the characteristics of the horses actually picture us, the ekklesia. We have become a strong army, capable of responding quickly. Though obviously pushed hard, the horses were not tired. This tells us that God is renewing our strength and giving us stamina for this fight. What a great way to begin this new year, with new strength and stamina from God! Going into the cellar-like part of the barn and having to stay very low while there, represents hiddenness and humility. In scripture, the word for hiddenness has 2 meanings. It obviously means humility, the willingness to remain unseen. But hiddenness also pictures the secret place of the Most High (Psalm 91), the hidden place of His presence where we are nourished and protected. In order for us to navigate out of this place, we had to stay low but we also had to measure and mark a path. I believe Holy Spirit is saying that our journey onward in this battle must be very precise. We must follow His direction carefully and trust Him to give us precision. We cannot simply guess or assume we know what to do; we must listen attentively to Him. As we exited and saw the Capitol building, we could see the hand of God taking action. He removed the lid/the covering, and exposed the darkness inside. Notice that it looked almost like a living creature. This is telling us the darkness is in an alliance with evil spirits, probably a principality. But the wind of God’s Spirit came, bound it, and cast it away. God is coming to cleanse our government. Many in our Congress need to go. And finally, Holy Spirit said to us, “Don’t stop!” During this season, God is using our prayers of the unseen realm in profound ways. We must receive His refreshing, keep ourselves in a humble place before Him, listen for His instructions, and persevere. As we do, He will purge the evil out of our government. And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire. (2 Kings 6:17 KJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Make a conscious decision to humble yourself before the Lord now. Remind yourself that only He can deliver us and heal this nation. Confess that you are strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Declare that you are being refreshed to continue. Ask Holy Spirit to give you a very clear and precise strategy - for yourself and for your family. Ask Him to do so also for those in government who are fighting to expose and deal with the unrighteousness in our land. Using the authority of Christ’s name, command the darkness to leave our Congress and our government. Ask Holy Spirit to show you any specific ways you should pray. Now, determine that you will not stop! A prayer you can pray: Father, we thank you for Your mercy toward America. We thank You that even though we have abandoned You, You have not left us. We thank you for Your leadership in the church at this present time. We believe You are orchestrating a great turnaround. We thank You for strength and endurance. As we humble ourselves before You, You give us grace. You are renewing our strength that we might run with the horses. And like the eagles, we are renewed and mount up with new strength, running without growing weary or fainting. We ask You to give us Your precise strategy during this season. Continue to give us clear dreams and prophetic words. We want to follow your strategies, Lord. And we thank You that as we do so, You are cleansing our land. You are delivering us from evil and renewing covenant with America. We thank You for this, Lord. And we pledge to You that we will not stop. In Christ’s name, amen. Decree: We decree that darkness is being removed from our government!

I invite you to join me each day as we pray for our nation until the election crisis has resolved. I’ll be reading the daily Give Him 15, making comments, and then we will pray together. You can join me here as we Appeal to Heaven for America. End 2020 Well and Keep Fighting The year 2020 is finally over. Today we stand on the precipice of entering a brand new year, a new beginning. Many of us consider this the time to evaluate how we spent our life this past year, in order to make new commitments and set goals for the upcoming new year. However, much of what happened in 2020 was beyond our control - someone else was deciding what life would look like for us. But we are Americans. We know how to roll with the punches and make the necessary adjustments in order to protect our families, our homes, our businesses, and our very lives. As I continue to pray for the 2020 Presidential election, I have not wavered in my faith. I believe God’s plan is not for socialism to take over America, but for President Trump to continue leading our nation out of darkness and into continued blessings. God desires for America to be a solid republic with strong capitalism, a country where adoption is celebrated and abortion is nonexistent, where we help our neighbors, support our policemen, have a strong military, worship without fear, and embrace the freedoms we all hold dear. This is the reason I went with a team to Washington D.C. this week. We went there to pray, to put our feet on the ground in that city and decree what we believe is the word of the Lord for our nation. We visited Lincoln’s Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Jefferson Memorial to release the prophetic word that came through a dream earlier this week (Wednesday’s post). We prayed near the White House, declaring God’s word, purpose, and desire regarding who would live there for the next 4 years. We prayed that God would send His warring angels to battle for us, pushing back darkness so His will can be done. Giving up is much easier than holding on, and there are plenty who have done just that. Some have even apologized for standing up for President Trump. However, until God tells me differently, I choose to believe the prophetic words He sends my way and the dreams that come almost nightly giving us direction and declarations to make are effectual. The faith I have to believe God is on our side causes me to hold on. Like so many of you, I choose to dig my heels in deeper and fight for what I believe is right. This great country we call America and its partnership with God is worth fighting for. So I say hold on! Keep praying and believing the word of the Lord, keep making declarations and decrees. Keep partnering with God and saying what He says about His plans for our nation. He alone is America’s King, her Lawmaker, and Judge. Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Things are happening behind the scenes. Stay firm in your faith and continue to pray for everything hidden to come to light. This is an important week - continue to ask the Lord for HIS great breakthrough. Intercede for all of Trump’s election attorneys. As they work in the civil arena, determine to come alongside in the spiritual realm, praying for them. The spiritual realm is important, not just the natural. Be relentless in your prayers and continue to decree the word of the Lord. Trust that God will move quickly on our behalf, uncovering and flipping over what is trying to remain covered up. Pray that all evil will be exposed - no matter where it is or who it involves. It’s time for everything in darkness to come into the light! Pray for the ekklesia to arise with boldness, strength, and a new resolve. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we are grateful You are with us and are on our side in this battle. As we approach the end of this year and start the beginning of a new one, we recommit our lives to You and resolve to represent You well. You are the Giver of life, the One who sustains and strengthens us. You are not fickle, changing from day to day. You are the Almighty, the Beginning and the End, the Sustainer of life, the Creator of all. We thank You for the United States of America and this free land that You planned, purposed, and ordained so that Your gospel could go from here unto all the nations of the earth. We believe that part of that purpose is for Donald Trump to remain as president of our land. We ask that You refresh our president and his family. Encourage their hearts and help them to find strength and hope in You. We ask You to visit President Trump in his dreams, send Your Holy Spirit to him - envelope him in Your love and Your divine presence. Cause him to see and be confident that he is part of Your plan, and submit 100 percent to You. Come, Holy Spirit, and encourage each person who is listening and praying with me today. I ask that they be infused with hope, strength, peace, clarity of thought, and the supernatural ability to hear You clearly. We choose to look to You, Jesus, the One who sustains us and gives us peace that passes all understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Decree: We declare that the will of God will be established for America!

I invite you to join me each day as we pray for our nation until the election crisis has resolved. I’ll be reading the daily Give Him 15, making comments, and then we will pray together. You can join me here as we Appeal to Heaven for America. Christmas Day 2020 Merry Christmas. I want to read a familiar passage of scripture to you on this glorious day. I read it as a blessing and as an encouragement. It reminded me of this great battle we are in for our nation. It reminded me that Jesus, our Savior, is able to deliver us. May it reveal in greater depth the One we worship. Let it be an encouragement and a refreshing to you. I’ll be reading most of Isaiah 9 from The Passion Translation: “No more gloom for those who are in distress! Although the Lord greatly humbled the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, he will one day bestow upon them great honor—from the Mediterranean eastward to the other side of the Jordan and throughout the Galilee of the gentiles. Those who walked in darkness have seen a radiant light shining upon them. They once lived in the shadows of death, but now a glorious light has dawned! Lord, you have multiplied the nation and given them overwhelming joy! They are ecstatic in your presence and rejoice like those who bring in a great harvest and those who divide up the spoils of victory! For you have broken the chains that have bound your people and lifted off the heavy bar across their shoulders, the rod the oppressor used against them. You have shattered all their bondage, just as you did when Midian’s armies were defeated A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominion will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: The Wonderful One! The Extraordinary Strategist! The Mighty God! The Father of Eternity! The Prince of Peace! Great and vast is his dominion. He will bring immeasurable peace and prosperity. He will rule on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom to establish and uphold it by promoting justice and righteousness from this time forward and forevermore. The marvelous passion that the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, has for his people will ensure that it is finished!” Clay Nash added this commentary for us: “Jesus is no longer a baby laying in a manger. He is no longer a man hanging on a cross. He is the man that walked out of the tomb and who has taken His place at the right hand of the Father. We, as His praying church are seated in the heavens with Him through Christ Jesus. We know what the will of God is and what His promise is. Therefore, we decree to the nation, ‘Injustice will not prevail. Fraud will not get by. We will see a revealing, an extraction, and an exposure of the wicked agenda that is trying to enslave Americans. We cast off that wicked narrative and every immoral way. “‘We stand strong in the rulership we serve under—that of King Jesus alone!. We declare that His mighty throne promotes justice and righteousness and is an eternal throne. He will rule over all with a marvelous passion. He will finish the work He began. He will fulfill the covenant He established. We may be faithless, but He is always faithful. Therefore, we can stand and proclaim His goodness, mercy, love, light, power and dominion, forever and ever. Amen.’” From Ceci and me, our family and our staff, “May the peace of God rest upon Your household both now and in the new year of 2021. May God be revealed and glorified in every way through which we serve His Son.” Today’s Decree: Today we worship Jesus. He will rule over America from the foundation of David’s throne, to establish and uphold it by promoting justice and righteousness. https://youtu.be/AVP3ZH3xb7o
