Taking Authority Over Election Fraud I am watching the grandstanding, politicking, fear mongering, and outright lying by unethical and far left senators in Judge Barrett’s confirmation process. Even though we have seen many victories as we have prayed this year, we must keep praying. Prophetic leaders continue to receive instructional and warning dreams from Holy Spirit on issues that need to be dealt with through intercession. Another strong warning dream was received just two nights ago regarding voter fraud. A trusted prophetic friend of mine was given a strong dream on Sunday, October 11, 2020, in which President Trump asked for prayer regarding voter fraud. He emphasized that his re-election was in jeopardy if this wasn’t stopped; he spoke generally of it occurring across the nation, while emphasizing Florida. My friend, Ken Malone, prayed a powerful prayer regarding this at our recent Reset 2020 Holy Convocation. Many commented on the weight of authority on this prayer — let’s use it as a point of agreement. We can stop this attempt to steal the election by agreeing in prayer against it daily, from now until the election. Would you take just 3 minutes EACH DAY between now and then to listen to this prayer and declare your agreement? The praying church has been responding well to the recent, numerous Calls to Prayer. One plan I am helping implement to generate more prayer involves a Tuesday night prayer call. These calls will occur EACH TUESDAY NIGHT LEADING UP TO THE ELECTIONS. Set a reminder and join us each week as we take our place as watchmen on the wall: 9/ET; 8/CT; 7/MT; 6/PT The number to call is 425-436-6277; access number 617352. Please share this with your friends. Let’s finish well! “There is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment. Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].” (Romans 13:1b-2; AMPC) Points for Prayer: Do some research and find out where the risk of voter fraud is in your state. Assume there IS a risk. It could be in mass mail-outs of ballots, newly installed polling equipment, or any number of other things. Know your state’s vulnerabilities! Bind the enemy’s attempts to institute voter fraud measures in your state. Loose the angelic hosts to uncover voter fraud plans. Say, “No weapon formed against our President will prosper! No weapon formed against the ancient path that this nation was established on and has always followed will prosper.” Declare, “The Lord is the One who decides who sits in seats of government and no plan of the enemy can prosper to stop God’s appointed ones from taking their seats!” A Prayer You Can Pray (By, Ken Malone): [We have the authority to cancel the voter fraud. In my home state of Florida, it didn’t just happen in 2000, but it happened in 2018 when the supervisor of elections tried to overthrow the 2018 election. Pray with us today against election fraud in your specific state.] Lord, we cancel every assignment of the enemy to overthrow this election in 2020 from the White House all the way down to a state level and city level. We say now that this plan of the enemy is canceled in Jesus' name and we decree the fire of God will begin taking out every false idol in every state that would try to overthrow this election. We cancel the assignments now of every spirit of darkness across every county across this nation. We say, “No weapon formed against our President will prosper! No weapon formed against the ancient path that this nation was established on and has always followed will prosper.” We decree that our King sits on His throne and He laughs at those who plan to overthrow America. “You will not have your way. You will not have your way in America. For the Lord says, ‘I have installed My Son. I’ve installed My Son on that hill. I’ve installed My Son in this nation. This nation belongs to Me! I decree who takes their seat in a governmental office, and who comes out of office. I decree who sits in seats of authority.’” Father, we thank you today that this election will be a just and righteous election. We decree it so in the name of Yeshua. Amen. Today’s Decree: Voter fraud will be uncovered swiftly and no voter fraud plans against America will prosper!

Protection of Religious Freedom in Our Schools [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Nancy Huff, Christian author for the Education Mountain, provides today’s prayer focus.] “On January 16, 2020, President Trump gave everyone involved in public education an infusion of courage to stand up for their faith in the face of opposition. Rather than depend on local school boards to relay to the students’ updated rights on freedom of religious expression, President Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office to make the announcement. The guidelines, designed to protect prayer and religious expression in public schools, should assure students, administrators, and teachers that they can freely exercise their constitutional rights of religious freedom. If anyone is denied religious freedom rights, the new guidelines outline a way for the individual to file a complaint. Believers now have more protection to express their faith in public schools than they have had in almost 60 years.” “Now we proclaim the kingdom of God and teach about the Lord Jesus Christ– with all boldness and without hindrance!” (Acts 28:31; HCSB) Points for Prayer (By, Nancy Huff): Intercede for all the students, teachers, and administrators on our school campuses who believe in Jesus to be bold in their faith and not back down in the face of opposition. Ask the Lord to assure them that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. Pray that school administrators and teachers will not ignore the new guidelines but will allow students to express their religious freedoms on school campuses. Thank God for President Trump and his protections for people who express their faith in public schools. Bless our President and pray that as we take the freedoms given to us, our obedience will open the door for even greater religious liberty in every classroom. Pray the Holy Spirit will call bold believers to work in our public schools. In their positions of authority, they will exercise their First Amendment Right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Pray for history and civics classes to be taught in our public school so that our children will learn the history of our nation and will appreciate the freedoms given to us by our forefathers who wrote the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. Pray that those who teach history will teach the subject in such a way that they will inspire their students to become great men and women who will lead this nation in righteousness. A Prayer You Can Pray: Father, thank You for expanding religious freedom rights in our schools under President Trump. We now have the backing we need for Christian students, teachers, and administrators on our school campuses to be bold in their faith and not back down when they are opposed. Grant a holy boldness to Believers in the education realm. We can express our faith in Christ and share the Gospel message on our campuses. We will now walk in this constitutionally granted freedom supported by executive action. Holy Spirit, call Believers to choose education as their career. We need more workers in this mountain of influence. We need administrators in particular. It seems to be a place we have relegated to the enemy and we are now paying the price. Our freedom has been diminished more and more, and the things taught to our children are far from our biblical values, even shocking at times. That’s ending now! Let those You have strategically placed in education now rise up in authority and teach the things they know to be true while refusing to teach lies. Let them say, “We will no longer teach a false history of America. We will teach civics and the governing process, so we know how to vote and run for office. We will encourage the use of the Bible as a basis for research. May this next generation be a righteous generation in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s Decree: Freedom of religion is secure for Christian students and administrators! Learn more about Nancy Huff here.

Gender Clarification [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Nancy Huff, Christian author for the Education Mountain, provides today’s prayer focus.] “One of America’s most significant resources is its children. As the future of our nation, our children need prayer as they face a major assault by the enemy to the very core of their identity – their sexual orientation. We stand in the gap for all our children as daily our America’s public educational system bombards these little ones with perverse sexual messages that result in early sexualization and gender-confusion. Our schools have invited people, ideas, and images that attack the innocence of our youth. May the prayers of the intercessors come before God to stop the flood of sexual perversion that has affected our children. We will rejoice in His protection for our nation’s children and our nation’s future.” “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.” (Mark 9:37; NKJV) Points for Prayer (By, Nancy Huff): The United Nations has seventeen Millennium Development Goals to be achieved by 2030. Goal #3 is Good Health and Well-being for everyone. Under this goal is the sub-goal of universal access to comprehensive sexuality education and information. The World Health Organization (WHO) routinely publishes a sexuality training “tool kit” and makes the content available to educational leaders and curriculum writers across the world. US educators use the WHO tool kit as an outline for sexuality education in the US. Pray for godly educators and curriculum writers who will reject the UN guidelines and write material that will teach our children purity and the sanctity of marriage. Title IX is a directive under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to be used to promote equal rights for anyone regardless of sex, race, or religion. President Trump and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos recently issued a Title IX directive that defined sex as a male or female. Immediately 18 court cases were filed to stop the Title IX directive, but so far, judges have ruled in President Trump’s favor. Pray for the definition of sexual options to be male or female. This one ruling would have a significant impact on whether or not men can compete in women’s sports and vice versa. As the largest labor union in the United States, the National Education Association (NEA) holds great sway over America’s public schools. They promote sexuality training K-12, which some states have already adopted. The NEA web site encourages teachers to “come out” in their classrooms. Pray to break the control of the NEA over teachers and administrators in public schools. School Boards across America have a lot of power over the direction of the content taught in public schools under their oversight. Pray for godly people to run for school board positions and that they would be bold in their stand for righteousness and sexual purity once they are elected. A Prayer You Can Pray: Lord, light and darkness are becoming more obvious and one of the clearest separations is surrounding the sexual agenda. As we become a more global society, there are some in the U.S.A. who would want to align with the U.N. in its policies for teaching and training on human sexuality. The problem is that those policies are not in alignment with Your heart and Word. They are dark, demonic policies that lead to perversion and exploitation of our children. Long-term, they lead to gender confusion, acceptance of homosexuality and pedophilia as normal, and the end of marriage being defined biblically as between one man and one woman. Give our leaders strategies to reject the U.N. agenda for our country. Additionally, we ask that we can break free of the influence of large, powerful groups, such as the NEA, who would seek to educate our children on moral and sexual practices that are unbiblical. We decree that these practices will be turned back. Bring the roots of these teachings, and the end results, into the light, Lord. We ask for godly people to run for seats on their local school boards. We pray You raise up those that can serve us in the NEA and the U.S. Dept of Education. We need godly representation at every level of oversight and implementation of the sexual education of our children. We ask for them in Jesus’ Name, amen. Today’s Decree: We stop the flood of sexual perversion in education that could affect our children. Learn more about Nancy Huff here.

Prayer for the Children [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Sharon Ngai of Radiance International provides today’s prayer focus.] “It was the Sunday following Hugh Hefner’s death when we called for a special Prayer Burn at our service in Hollywood. With a powerful group of intercessors and Industry Creatives in the room, we cried out for JUSTICE for the exploited women in Hollywood. We understood that Hugh Hefner—the father of modern-day pornography—was also a significant figure in Hollywood who represented perversion and the exploitation of women. We cried out for the women and the unjust casting couch culture they had silently endured for decades in Hollywood. For too long, their cries for justice were ignored and were unable to emerge. But we declared that the sound of their voices would now pierce through. “Four days after our Prayer Burn, an article in The New York Times broke about Harvey Weinstein and his abuse of women in Hollywood. This resulted in the floodgates opening up for voices of women to be heard, not just in Hollywood but beyond. We believe the power of our prayers on that Sunday helped break through and uncover a culture of evil that had been taking place for decades. “In the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s exposure, something even more heartbreaking remains hidden in Hollywood. They are the cries of children who have been abused and mishandled by the powerful. It is hard to imagine that celebrities and well-respected individuals would commit crimes against innocent children, but it has been done. As hard as it is to use the word, we need to call out pedophilia. There are documented stories of child stars as far back as Shirley Temple and Judy Garland who were harassed on sets and preyed upon by the powerful men around them. Since ministering in Hollywood, we have heard first-hand accounts of such abuse. We believe it is time for justice for abused children to break open! Pedophilia is not acceptable. The use and abuse of children in Hollywood or anywhere else in our society is not acceptable. God’s eyes are on the children right now, and we believe it is time for justice for them. Will you pray and add your voice on their behalf?” "'For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light." (Luke 8:17) Prayer Points (By, Sharon Ngai): Pray that the covering that has kept pedophilia and the abuse of children hidden in Hollywood will be fully revealed. Pray that pedophilia rings would be exposed in Hollywood—along with any ties to government and businesses. Pray for all the children, past and present, who have experienced abuse to be healed by the power and love of Jesus. Pray for those who have experienced abuse as children to have the courage to step forward. Let the floodgates of justice be open. A Prayer You Can Pray: Father, we need You as Father today. We know You love all of the precious innocent children in this nation. We look to You today for protection for them. There are heinous individuals that want to use children for wicked and perverted sexual desires. This must stop now! We have heard in the last few months about very famous and/or powerful individuals, such as Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, who have done horrific things with our young. This was hidden from the public, but many, many of those in Hollywood and other upper economic groups were well aware of it. We command these disgusting practices of pedophilia to be exposed completely now! They are coming into the light and the darkness will not be able to overcome this exposure! We pray for the children. God, only You can possibly give them their innocence back. They have experienced things no child should know. Give more and more victims the courage they need to come forward. There are adults with seared consciences that want this normalized. They want it taught in schools down to the kindergarten level. They have even changed the laws in CA to permit this between children as young as 12 and adults. Oh God, please hear us and move to end these practices! We are so thankful for the prayers you have already answered in Hollywood. Exposing the sin is the first step. However, there’s so much more to do. We ask for a complete cleaning up and ending of pedophilia in America in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s Decree: We decree justice for victims of child abuse, exploitation, and pedophilia!

Ending Human Trafficking [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Cindy Jacobs of Generals International provides today’s prayer focus.] “Human trafficking must be exposed and must cease to exist in our lifetime, especially in America. There are 30 million slaves in the world, and 10 million of those are children. I know the Lord wants to rescue all those who have been exploited and set them free. He is a God whose lovingkindness extends to all those who seek refuge in Him. He saves the searching and the perishing. Let us pray for justice and healing for those who are trafficked here in America and that the traffickers will be brought to justice! “There are 17,500 women and children trafficked into the U.S. every year. Human trafficking generates over 100 billion dollars annually worldwide. The Trump administration has awarded more than $35 million in grants from the Justice Department to organizations that provide safe housing for survivors of human trafficking. Let us continue to cry out in prayer against trafficking and modern slavery until it is eradicated in this nation.” “Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” (Psalm 82:4; ESV) Points for Prayer (By, Cindy Jacobs): Pray for liberation and justice for the victims: “He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free” (Psalm 146:7; NIV). Ask the Lord to heal and restore the victims: “I waited patiently for the Lord, he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock making my steps secure” (Psalm 40:1-3; ESV). Pray for God’s vengeance on the traffickers: “For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality” (Colossians 3:25; ESV). A Prayer You Can Pray: God, we declare that we are going to see the ending of human trafficking in America. Right now, that seems like an impossible declaration, but we know You can help us make this a reality. No one 150 years ago thought slavery could really end, but it did. Modern day slavery will be uncovered and ended as well.  There must be exposure, Lord. We say, “Expose, expose. Expose!” Holy Spirit, shine Your light in the dark places of our communities where these secrets are hidden. Uncover the transports, the housing, the illicit activities that those involved hide within. Light, penetrate the darkness! Darkness, you cannot resist the Light! We say, “The Lord upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free!” We say, “You are free” to those who are crying out, ‘I am waiting patiently for the Lord. He will incline to me and hear my cry. He will draw me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.’” And we declare over the traffickers, “You will be found out! Every wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality with God.” Thank You, Jesus! Amen. Today’s Decree: Human traffickers will be exposed and brought to justice in America! Learn more about Cindy Jacobs and Generals International here.

Voting For Life! [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Che Ahn of Harvest International Ministries provides today’s prayer focus.] “Church, we have come to a crucial crossroads. I believe this is the most important election because so much is at stake when we cast our ballots this year. We are living in a time where the decisions that our commander-in-chief makes will have an enormous effect on our families, communities, and our nation for years to come. Now is the time for us as God’s people to take action and to defend biblical family values in America. “We need to stand for Life as ethnically and culturally diverse, pro-life Evangelical leaders committed to seeing the end of abortion on a local, state, and national level. As we mobilize the Church to join this movement, we are passionate about saying, ‘All lives are sacred, including the unborn.’ We believe that only with the unity of all races and cultures under Jesus Christ will we be able to end abortion. The younger generation will play a critical role in taking up this cause and making the pledge to always vote pro-life. “I believe it is time for us to rise up, take a stand on God’s Word, and partner with heaven’s agenda to bring reformation to society and revival to our land! God is raising up His children as Spirit-led activists, so that we would vote biblically and righteously in this crucial moment in our nation.” “Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Your youth are to You as the dew.” (Psalm 110:3; NASB) Points for Prayer (By, Che Ahn): We pray for the Church to carry God’s heart for the unborn and vote pro-life in the 2020 election. We pray for the unity of all races and cultures in the Body of Christ, as we respond to our God-given call to be reformers and agents of reconciliation. We pray for the youth of our nation to be educated and activated to vote biblically and take a stand for the truth of God’s Word. We pray for an impartation of boldness and courage as we advance God’s Kingdom in this hour. A Prayer You Can Pray: Lord, we choose Life! We choose Life for our nation! We will vote for those who choose Life, as well! We will define “Life” as the existence of a person from conception to natural death. We will not twist that term to mean anything that justifies the killing of the unborn. We will not accept any form of ripping a human being from the safety of its mother’s womb. We are going to see the curse of the shedding of innocent bloodshed removed from America! Lord, we ask for unity between the races in America. We ask for unity between the generations, as well. We say that every life is important to you, whether rich or poor, old or young, educated or not, regardless of type of job or ethnicity. You love us all, and we will love and respect and fight for one another’s rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Let the younger generations of voters learn what this biblical stand means. Let us together vote for those things that please You. We cannot justify in any way a pro-abortion position or voting to preserve abortion rights. We will take a bold stand for Life as we go to the polls November 3rd in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s Decree: We commit to standing for Life and voting Pro-Life on November 3rd! Learn more about Che Ahn and Harvest International Ministries here.

We Must End Abortion in America [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Cindy Jacobs of Generals International provides today’s prayer focus.] The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion on January 22, 1973, has led to an estimated 61 million abortions since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling. According to the Word of God, we have committed a grave national sin. God fully realizes the depth of the depravity of sin in the hearts of man. Nevertheless, His heart is always that we would choose His way. When we operate out of our sin nature at a national level, we end up with things like legalizing abortions to the point of infanticide. Yes, shockingly there are states which allow abortions through the third trimester. This would be infanticide, as those children may be able to survive outside the womb. God does not want that for our culture! We need to pray and ask for forgiveness and the mercy of God for the millions of babies who have lost their lives. Legalized abortion is not the will of God. Lord, save America and save our children! “They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire of Molech, which I had not commanded them, nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”(Jeremiah 32:35; NASB) Points for Prayer (By, Cindy Jacobs): Pray for the unborn babies: “Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.” (Psalm 127:3; NASV) Pray for mothers’ eyes to be opened: “Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?” (Isaiah 49:15; NIV) Pray for all Americans to know the truth about abortion: “To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in me.” (Acts 26:18; NIV) A Prayer You Can Pray: Lord, forgive our sin and send revival to America! We are in desperate need of You. We have sinned in such a horrific way. Our nation’s embracing of abortion has led to the slaughter of over 61 million babies since 1973. We repent with much grief and many tears. We cannot imagine the pain this causes You. You gave these children into this world for a purpose that they will never fulfill. Each and every one was a gift to our culture and we have decided we didn’t need them. Oh, God, forgive us. Cause their mothers’ hearts to warm and bring them to Your throne of grace. We have compassion for them, for many did not understand what they were doing. Society said they could legally abort their children. This is the fault of every one of us who has participated. We may have had an abortion, encouraged someone to get one, or not said anything when someone was considering one. We may have driven someone to get one or paid for one. We may have performed abortions, or worked where women were counseled to have an abortion, or in a place where abortion was performed.  We may have participated in the legislative process of approving or expanding abortion rights. We may have even voted in a way where abortion could be advanced. Lord, open our eyes to our personal need of repentance and to how abortion has touched almost every one of us. Hear our cries of repentance, forgive us, and heal our land in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s Decree: Lord, save America and save our children!

The Importance of Values [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Dave Kubal of Intercessors of America provides today’s prayer focus.] For 47 years, Intercessors for America has been praying for godly government. This is the core of what we do. We pray our leaders would legislate, implement, and then protect the values that are closest to God’s heart. As we are in an election season, what are those biblical values that are closest to God’s heart? One could go into great depth to answer this question from a national governmental point of view. However, I offer three main biblical values we need to pray would be implemented through the leaders that will be elected this fall. Protection of Life: Nothing is more precious to God than life. From conception to natural death, God desires life to be protected. Protection of the Family: Our society and our Supreme Court have embraced tragic views that grieve the heart of God and allow a diversity of what a legal family looks like based upon individual, personal beliefs about gender, attraction, and more. No belief or court opinion will ever have the power to redefine that which God has defined. Efforts to change what family is have nevertheless wreaked havoc on our lives. Protection of Religious Freedoms: Attack on religious freedoms is the reason many of the early immigrants to our nation came here. They sought the freedom to be able to worship their God! We need legislators and elected officials who have a heart to protect all faiths. This protection would in turn allow the Church to be the Church and give us the opportunity to be salt and light in our nation. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Ps 139:13; NIV) Points for Prayer (By, Dave Kubal): Pray for the value of life to be embraced by candidates and in their platforms: “So God created mankind in his own image. . . . male and female he created them. And God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it” (Gen 1:27, 28). Pray for the strengthening and upholding of the family in America. Pray for healing where there is harm and brokenness and for a true understanding of identity to flourish: “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple” (Ps 19:7). Pray for elected officials and judges at all levels to protect the free exercise of religion. Pray that laws and policies infringing on religious freedom would be overturned and discarded. Pray for our leaders to uphold and honor the fundamental right of religious freedom. A Prayer You Can Pray: Lord, we will be casting our vote on November 3rd for many reasons, but there are three we ask You to give us. We ask You for the candidate that will uphold Life from conception to natural death. We ask for the one that will agree with the defining of family in alignment with Your definition. We also ask for the securing of our First Amendment right to freely worship You where and how we desire. You created Life and it is not mankind’s place to define what that means. We cannot give it and it is not ours to take. We have compassion for each mother’s circumstances. We cry out for their lives, as well. Some of these situations are hard, and the Church and our nation need compassionate answers. We pray for grace and wisdom for the hard situations. We choose Life for the unborn and blessing for America. Likewise, “Family” is Your creation. You created male and female and partnered them together to create the basis of the nuclear family. The enemy hates the institution of marriage, because You said it is a mystery and a revelation of Christ and the Church. While not every family has a mom and dad in the home, we cannot throw the blessing of the intact family away. Lord, forgive us. We are now seeing what a slippery slope it is to try to legislate alternative forms of marriage and family into the landscape of our culture. Forgive us and help us to correct these things. Finally, we see that religious freedom, especially for evangelical Christians and Jews, is under attack. Our freedom to worship You is a spiritual threat and has become a true matter of spiritual warfare with some governing entities. Governors and mayors on the Left, primarily, are trying to keep the Church from meeting, even going so far as to say we can’t even meet out of doors. One mayor said only one person at a time can be inside a church in their city! We cry out to You, Lord, to save us and secure these freedoms. We will vote for those that will not hinder us. We must worship You! Thank You for stirring Your people to vote by November 3rd in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s Decree: We will vote for Life, Family, and Religious Freedom.

Godly Advisors [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Dave Butts of the National Prayer Committee and Mike Jacobs of Generals International provide today’s prayer focus.] “A good leader looks for good advice from good people. Scripture is clear how important this is. Proverbs 20:18a says, ‘Make plans by seeking advice.’ The young King Rehoboam got into trouble because he ‘rejected the advice of the elders’ (I Kings 12:8). “Many people actively seek to advise leaders because they understand that in doing so, they can shape important policies and decisions. It is so critical that we pray for good and godly advisors for leaders in all areas of government. The right advisor can make a huge difference in turning a nation in godly directions. “The mayor of a major city recently said that they know how to deal with many issues in their city, but they don’t know how to deal with evil. Evil doesn’t come from one political party or the other, so neither one will have answers for it. “As Christians, we have the ability to open the heavens over our cities and other governmental realms of authority. We can establish environments in them where heaven can be involved. We have authority through the shed blood of Jesus Christ as we intercede and put a halt to evil. Therefore, not only should we be asking God for righteous leadership through the midterm elections, but we also need to ask God to raise up spiritual advisors and partners to come alongside political leaders who recognize there are things they do not have the ability to deal with. “We need to ask God to allow us to create an open heaven over these areas through our worship and intercession in order to shut down the evil, so the political leaders will know what to do. We are not to decide if that leader’s politics will affect the change we feel is necessary. We are very simply called to pray for them.” “A wise man listens to advice.” (Proverbs 12:15b; ESV) “Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.” (Proverbs 19:20; NLT) Points for Prayer (By Dave Butts and Mike Jacobs): Call forth the godly advisors who would be willing to serve the nation by advising leaders at even the highest levels of government. Pray that our governmental leaders would accept advice and be discerning in where they look for advisors.  Declare: “A wise man listens to advice. A wise man accepts instruction and makes plans by seeking advice. God has raised up those who are able to be godly advisors to those in political office from the local governmental offices to the statehouse and the White House. They will find one another!” Intercede for the advisors to seek the good of the nation and not personal gain. A Prayer You Can Prayer: Father, You said in Your Word that wise men listen to advice. We desire wise leaders and we make that request to You today. We don’t want those who only know what to do in good times. We need those who know how to seek You in the hard times. We need those who know how to reach out for counsel by godly advisors. Bring the right advisors to our President, department secretaries, and congressional leaders. We know You have prepared some men and women to be advisors for such a time as this. We ask for even more. There are some Christian leaders that want access to the halls of government for their own reasons. We ask for those that are pure in heart. We ask for those with proper motives who are content to stay behind the scenes. We ask for those who can be trusted to keep a confidence. We declare, “A wise man listens to advice. A wise man accepts instruction and makes plans by seeking advice. God has raised up those who are able to be godly advisors to those in political office from the local governmental offices to the statehouse and the White House. They will find one another!” Today’s Decree: We call for righteous advisors for our President and other government leadership. Learn more about Dave Butts and the National Prayer Committee here.

Prayer for Our President [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Dave Kubal of Intercessors for America provides today’s prayer focus.] “”Unhinged. Unfit to Serve. Impeachment.’ “You have heard these words connected with President Donald J. Trump. The constant stirring of animosity has spilled into, or so it seems, every form of public life. Polarizing politicization is whipped up to drive ratings in what appears to be an effort to neuter the impact of this President. “Yet we know the scriptures: ‘For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ God created Donald Trump, just like He created any previous and future President, and God created that person to do ‘goods works.’ “What is interesting in this passage is that God created these good works ‘in advance.’ This phrase indicates that the list of President Trump’s heavenly accomplishments existed before he took office. He has accomplished much, but is there more? Could some of the items on the list only be unlocked through the prayers of the Church? “Now, it is left to the mysterious combination of President Trump’s effort, our prayers, and the sovereign will of God to play out. Your assignment is simple: pray.” “For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10; NLT) Points for Prayer (By, Dave Kubal): Pray every “good work” our President was created to accomplish would be accomplished. Pray God would strengthen him to focus on the task and not the criticisms. Pray God would quiet the civil acrimony. A Prayer You Can Pray: Father, we want to thank You for protecting our president and First Lady Melania. May they continue to heal completely from any effects of COVID-19 on their bodies. You have set a course for President Trump and we want to see him complete it. By Your grace, he has accomplished many good things, but we believe there is more for him to do. The nation is moving toward life. It is moving back to its constitutional foundations. Our First Amendment rights are being secured. The battle over religious freedom continues to be contentious in some states, but overall, this president has made sure those freedoms remain.  For these reasons and more, the nation is strongly divided. Your Church is even strongly divided over political matters. It seems the barrage of disparaging remarks and criticism against the president is absolutely unending. It is as if President Trump cannot do anything right in the eyes of governing officials in his opposing party, the media, and other influential people. Help him to ignore the criticism and focus on the task at hand. Let him listen only to that which is truly helpful and wise. All the rest can fall by the wayside. And, Lord, we ask You to heal our divided nation. Only You can. It is impossible for man to do so. Our emotions are so stirred up! We desperately need You to interrupt the chaos with a holy Great Awakening. We join You in it, Jesus! Amen! Today’s Decree: We will pray for President Trump, so that he can fulfill all that God placed him in office to complete. Learn more about Dave Kubal and Intercessors for America here.

A Presidential Transformation [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. I provide today’s prayer focus.] In a dream a friend of mine had, a group of intercessors was in the oval office with President Trump. In great humility, he thanked us for our leadership and for the Appeal to Heaven movement. He asked me if there could be a high level, strategic task force set up for him and said he was asking this at the suggestion of Melania. I then gave him a white stone with the scripture Revelation 2:17 on it. It said, “God gives us a new name that no one knows.” He smiled and quoted back the verse, “There was a man sent from God whose name was John” (John 1:6; NIV). John is the President’s middle name. I have been praying for quite some time that Donald Trump would become “John” Trump, representing intimacy with the Lord. I have asked that he have a great encounter with God that would bring him into this role. Returning to the dream, he prayed over those of us there, and in the prayer he said, “Let these leaders lead a holy convocation, that I might finish my eight years well. Let the ancient markers of our founding fathers be restored.” I feel we need to pray for this president, not just up to the General Election, but beyond. This is not just about Donald Trump. We also know God is restoring the nation back to the ancient markers. I believe President Trump is a part of that. “We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.” (Romans 6:6-8; NIV) Points for Prayer: Intercede for President Donald J. Trump. Ask God to meet with him and transform him into “John.” May he be truly saved. Thank the Lord for a president who has reached out to leaders in the Church for prayer, counsel, and advice. Ask the Lord for a restoration of historical markers – those things that our founding fathers put in place to ground the nation through anything a future nation might face. A Prayer You Can Pray: [As we are all aware, President Trump and Melania have been battling COVID-19. Please take some time today and pray for them in your own words.] Today’s Decree: President Donald J. Trump shall be known as John!

Separation of Church and State [Beginning 9/25, and continuing through Election Day, November 3rd, GiveHim15 is joining forces with many other national prayer ministries in 40 Days of Prayer for America. Cindy Jacobs of Generals International provides today’s prayer focus.] “Since the removal of prayer in schools in 1962, there have been many other situations where ‘freedom of religion’ has been misconstrued by the court system as ‘freedom from religion.’ “The statement in the First Amendment that ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion’ has become known as ‘the establishment clause.’ In misconstruing it, the courts have often placed their decisions in direct opposition to the second half of that statement: ‘or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.’ None of the cases where the ‘establishment clause’ has been used by the courts to strike down free exercise of religion in the public square has ever been based on a law passed by Congress. The laws have changed on actions by judges in our courts, especially at the Supreme Court level. “At times, the conflict has been between the free exercise of the Christian faith in the marketplace and an individual who is offended by the practice who then sues the former. In addition to the removal of prayer from the public square, there have been cases calling for the removal of the Ten Commandments from government offices and land, removal of nativity scenes from public land, removal of Bible reading in the public places, and inequitable access to public facilities and funds by Christian groups.” “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12; NKJV) Points for Prayer (By, Cindy Jacobs): Repent, as Daniel did in Daniel 9, on behalf of our governing leaders and our judges (this is often referred to as identificational repentance), especially our Supreme Court Justices, for laws and judicial decisions that misconstrued the First Amendment. Pray that many of these decisions would be challenged and overturned, so that true freedom of religion is secure in the United States once again. Use the Isaiah 22:22/Matthew 16:19 keys to shut the spiritual door where the First Amendment is used to shut down Christian activities outside the walls of our church buildings. Intercede for those who hate Christians and seek to close Christian businesses or otherwise cause believers harm. Declare that they would not be able to misconstrue the First Amendment to their advantage in the future. Pray that we would show compassion toward them and that they would come to know the love of Christ. A Prayer You Can Pray: Father, we identificationally repent for the sins of our governing leaders and our judges for decisions they have made that have brought injustice and death into our culture. It is a tragedy that even our Supreme Court justices have misconstrued the U. S. Constitution at times and bent it to their personal or political ideologies. It was never meant to be manipulated for that reason. It was meant to provide the foundation to keep our republic secure. As we seat a new Supreme Court Justice, let her be one that will uphold the rule of law. Let her even help to overturn laws that were decided to please a society instead of on a solid constitutional basis. We take the keys of the Kingdom and use them to proclaim what will be and won’t be allowed in America. We say that the First Amendment rights of the Church and of Believers will be honored. We declare that we will no longer be discriminated against. We say that the Gospel will be preached across this land, Jesus will be glorified, and the nations will hear the Word of the Lord from our shores! We pray for those that are almost rabid in their attempts to shut the Church down and keep us from meeting, even in small groups in our homes. We say to that anti-Christ spirit, “You are bound and gagged in Jesus’ Name!” We are children of the Most High God and we will not be shuttered or silenced! We will operate in love and intercession for all who hate us, but we will enter into civil disobedience if necessary to retain our freedom. We are those the Son set free and we will live in that Christ-given and constitutionally-guaranteed freedom! Amen. Today’s Decree: The First Amendment will not be manipulated by those who oppose the Lord, His people, and His ways. Learn more about Cindy Jacobs and Generals International here.
