America has Godly Roots I wrote about the beginnings of America’s colleges in my book Giants Will Fall. 106 of the first 108 colleges in America were founded on our Christian faith. That includes all of the Ivy League schools. Students at Harvard were required to read the scriptures twice daily. Harvard’s founders stated, “All knowledge without Christ is vain.” Harvard’s motto was, “For Christ and the Church.” The rules and precepts of Harvard stated, “Every student shall consider the main end of his study is to know God in Jesus Christ.” Princeton’s motto was, “Under the protection of God, she flourishes.” Jonathan Dickinson was the first president of Princeton. He stated, “Cursed be all learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ.” Countless other examples could be given. “Under God” is more than just a religious quote stuck in the Pledge of Allegiance just to satisfy America’s Christian zealots. It is, in fact, our history and we must lay claim to it. We must pray. We must not allow the humanists, the secularists, and other anti-Christ forces to steal our godly heritage. We must know our history. We must never be ashamed of it. There were parts of it that were not good, and God wants to heal this nation from the painful parts of our past. God wants to heal those who have been oppressed. Satan is trying to fight all that. He wants to foster and foment more anger, violence, and hatred so that the healing cannot happen. But God is going to win! “You neglected the Rock who begot you, and forgot the God who gave you birth.” (Deuteronomy 32:18; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for our godly heritage and proclaim that you will not let it be forgotten, but will fight for it to be known. Contemplate the fact that today’s most liberal colleges were founded by Christians. Students of those colleges were taught of Christ as a basis of their lives and knowledge. Talk to the Lord about that. Many colleges and universities teach a very liberal socialist humanistic philosophy to our youth today. Ask the Lord to fully expose this and change it. Decree God’s healing over people who are hurting and angry. Every time you see a riot in your city or through a news source, bind the powers of the enemy and decree God’s healing over the nation. Lay claim to our righteous destiny, which is to be a voice for the Gospel to the ends of the earth. A prayer you can pray: Lord, I thank You for this nation. Thank You for what You raised us up to be. We are not going to let it go. We are not going to lose it. We are going to look back and remember the godly things. We will remember and thank You for our godly roots and heritage. Continue to uncover and expose facts, such as 106 of the first 108 colleges in America were founded on our Christian faith. It should be made known far and wide that our most liberal schools today were founded by Christians. Not only that, but they wanted the students to know that only with God at the center could they expect to be successful in their lives and careers. Even Harvard declared, “Every student shall consider the main end of his study is to know God in Jesus Christ.” Your Word was honored as a necessary foundation for life and learning. As Jonathan Dickinson said, “Cursed be all learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ.” This is who America was and this is who America is! We are going to pray healing over this nation. We are going to see restoration. We are going to see the races come together. We are going to see increasing revival in our streets. It is going to come through Blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and White Americans. We are going to see the Church come together and the Ekklesia be used by You in our nation to impact the earth. We ask You for increased strategy and revelation so that we can reset this nation. Thank You, Jesus. Amen. Today’s decree: I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, nor of the Christian roots and heritage of this nation!

God Himself Raised Up the United States of America Historians have studied the writings, letters, and publications of our leaders, founders, legislators, etc., during the establishment of this nation. There were three people that had the most effect on this nation’s forming and shaping. John Locke, who gave us the phrase, “Appeal to Heaven”, was the third most quoted. Montesquieu was the second most quoted. He’s the one that pointed out Isaiah 33:22, which says, “God is our Lawgiver, Judge, and King.” So he said, “If heaven and God’s government is based on these three ideals, a nation would be wise to form its government based on these three expressions of God.” Our founders took his advice and formed our government based on this verse. So, we have a separation of powers—our Legislative branch (Lawgiver), our Judicial branch (Judge), and our Executive branch (King). The person that had the most to do with shaping our nation and its government and ideals was God. He was quoted more than anyone else. Don’t tell me we’re not Christian in our roots. Don’t tell me God didn’t raise up this nation. I’m not going to allow our history to be stolen. That’s what this violence movement in America is all about right now. We allowed our history to be taken—stolen from the young and from certain segments of our culture through universities and lying professors. Now, we have a generation that doesn’t know our history. We are going to need to get this back. However, God is asking the Church to pray right now that the ancient markers be restored and that we finish our course. That means that we finish the destiny and calling He has for us. I believe God is about to send the greatest revival ever to this nation, and to many other nations around the world. He is going to reap the greatest harvest the earth has ever seen. He is not finished with America. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for granting His wisdom, revelation, and the leading of His Spirit to the individuals who formed what became the governing structure of the United States of America. Clearly, His hand was in it. Deal with any place in you that feels unsure of our Christian roots or that feels hesitant in sharing this truth with others. Confident and unwavering faith will help us to pray correctly. Pray that America’s calling is re-established and a strong revival makes our roots come alive. Pray that we are able to tap into the fullness of why He raised this nation up. Appeal to Heaven, “God, send our nation and the nations around the world the greatest revival and the greatest harvest ever.” A prayer you can pray: Father, thank You for Your sovereign and divine wisdom and leading of the Holy Spirit at the founding of our nation. Like Esther, Daniel, and Joseph, You granted the right individuals the revelation they needed at the time of our founding. You enabled them to form what became the governing structure of the United States of America. You granted revelation to people like John Locke, Montesquieu, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and others, all so they could bring it together for the future of our fledgling nation. Lord, check my heart today. If I have ever doubted that this nation was established by You, forgive me. The history is so clear. The record stands. Don’t let any individual or group remove our foundational history from us. Don’t let it be rewritten by those who want You out of the picture. Let it be taught in our schools! The generations following us must know this. We are not leaving anyone out. It is just factual—You established the United States of America for Your eternal purposes. Unfold the revelation of why in a more full measure. Lord, let us fulfill that destiny. Send this nation and the nations of the world the greatest revival and the greatest harvest ever. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: God desires that we finish the destiny and calling He established us for!

The Declaration of Independence Proclaims Our Christian Roots The Declaration of Independence is America’s first founding document. In my book, Giants Will Fall, I point out the fact that God is referenced four times in that document. He is mentioned as our Lawgiver, Creater, Judge and Protector. The first way He is mentioned is as our Lawgiver. So much for the separation of God and state. God wants to be involved in our government. That doesn’t mean that our government will tell everybody how they have to live. It means we will operate as a nation based on His truth. If we do that, the hearts of men and women will respond to His truth and people will be impacted and morality will be produced. The Declaration also speaks of Him as our Creator. So much for evolution. So much for some denying Him as our Creator. The signers of the document, calling themselves the “Representatives of the United States of America”, then appealed “to the Supreme Judge of the world” to judge the “rectitude” of their intentions. “Rectitude” means “morally correct thinking or behavior, or righteousness.” They wanted to be sure that what they were doing in drawing away from England and forming a new country was what He wanted them to do. So, they humbly submitted themselves to God’s sovereignty and asked Him to judge their words and actions. The Declaration concludes with these words, speaking of God as our Protector, “For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.” When we read our founding documents, it becomes impossible to say that our founders were not Christian and did not intend this nation to honor God, the Bible, and the Christian faith. After the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it was recorded that some of the signers wept. Others, like John Witherspoon, bowed their heads in prayer. This was a sacred event to them. This was spiritual. It wasn’t just a national thing. Samuel Adams rose and stated, “We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting sun, may His Kingdom come.” When the document was released publicly on July 4th, the ringing of the Liberty Bell sounded. The verse on the Liberty Bell is from Leviticus 25, verse 10, “Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof.” Did you know there is a verse of scripture on the Liberty Bell? Did you know that in God’s sovereign providence it is a verse that has to do with jubilee? I wrote about this in Giants Will Fall: “This verse is taken from the description of the year of jubilee, which was a prophetic picture of Christ. Our Jubilee forgave our debts and freed us from spiritual slavery.” That’s what jubilee was all about in the Old Testament—the forgiving of debts, a release from spiritual slavery, and the restoring of what once belonged to someone—land and inheritance is given back. Christ came and fulfilled all of that and He became our Jubilee. I go on, “Just to make sure you get the connection, our nation’s birth was announced under the biblical decree that Christ is our Liberator and Savior.” “Set aside and consecrate the fiftieth year to declare liberty throughout the land for all of its inhabitants. It is to be a jubilee for you. Every person is to return to his own land that he has inherited.” (Leviticus 25:10; ISV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord that those who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence made it clear that this nation was to be reliant on God as Lawgiver, Creator, Judge, and Protector. Contemplate for a moment the holy moment they experienced immediately following the signing. That was a holy moment we can honor today. Declare Leviticus 25:10 today, “Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof.” Christ is our Jubilee! The ringing of the Liberty Bell was the declaration of the birth of this nation. It rang out that this nation would be joined to Christ, our Liberator, according to the verse written on it—Leviticus 25:10. SHOUT, because that ring resounded in the heavens at the birth of this nation! A prayer you can pray: Lord, what a powerful reminder today of Your Divine and Sovereign guidance in the founding of this nation, the United States of America. I feel Your Presence on that moment as if I were there in that room, watching “the Representatives” sign it with a holy and reverential fear of the Lord upon them. I can imagine their emotion as they wept, prayed, and proclaimed their honor of You and their desperate need of You to get them through the next season of warring for the inheritance You had promised. The document they had just signed, the Declaration of Independence, made clear that this nation was to be reliant on God as Lawgiver, Creator, Judge, and Protector. They meant every word they had written and pledged everything they had for it. Thank You that they sealed this holy moment with the ringing of the Liberty Bell, upon which was written Jeremiah 25:10. As they struck that bell, the sound of Your promise rang out, “Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof.” Christ was to be honored throughout the existence of our nation. Jesus was the promise foretold in that scripture. Without Jesus, there is no liberty, and those standing there on that historic day knew that well. I will shout my praises to You, renewing that covenant in my generation, My Lord Jesus, my Savior and my King! We are wholly reliant upon You. Amen. Today’s decree: Our founders were clearly Christian and intended this nation to honor God, the Bible, and the Christian faith!

God Established America With Imperfect Christians How can it be true that God sent Christians to these shores to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom here and to the nations of the earth? The first Christian settlers to these shores did at times treat the Native Americans unfairly. I am not defending what our ancestors did. God has been having us repent for a generation. What He wants us to do now is to join hearts. He wants to join together the First Nations peoples, Caucasians, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and any other people groups in America. He wants to join us all together for this great cause—a worldwide harvest. People of all faiths are welcome in this nati0n, but God specifically raised up America to trumpet the message of Christ, His salvation, and His Kingdom. Here are some quotes showing what God wanted and what our founders intended. “Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” —George Washington “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” —John Quincy Adams When the Pilgrims landed, they wrote the Mayflower Compact. It was a covenant they made together. Before disembarking, they prayed together, took communion together and read this Compact/covenant. One of the phrases in it was that they were coming to this land “…for the Glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.” Has America always done everything right? No. But that doesn’t change the destiny that God has for this nation. Why would God ask us to pray that the ancient markers be restored, as He did to me recently in a dream? Because our destiny is still intact. There’s still a calling on this nation to be a voice for Him in the earth. That’s what the quotes above are all about. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: We need look no further than ourselves to answer the question, “How can it be true that God sent very imperfect Christians to these shores to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom here and to the nations of the earth?” Because He always works through imperfect people. Rejoice that you have been forgiven if you have repented of your sins and are born again! Thank the Lord for showing us in the Bible all of the imperfections of those He has used throughout all of history to carry out His plans in the earth. Praise Him that He forgives, but still gets the job done through we imperfect ones. Read the historic quotes above out loud as a prayer and conclude with “…for the Glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith” on the earth. Declare, “Despite our failures, America’s destiny to be a voice of the Gospel to the nations is still intact!” A prayer you can pray: Father, thank You so much that You have not demanded perfection from us. You knew we would not be able to walk perfectly before You at all times. You knew sin and fear would get the better of us at times. But You sent Jesus to die on the Cross for us and be raised from the dead in a power that raises us in reconciliation to You. We thank You for hearing our prayers of repentance over the years for the sins of our nation’s forefathers. Lord, You are faithful to forgive and deliver, because You have a plan to accomplish. You want an army of soul-winners, and shame has no place in that. Heal our painful history and keep us going forward, fulfilling that plan. Your Word is filled with stories of imperfect people still used by You. Israel was not perfect as a nation, yet Your Word tells us it is the apple of Your eye. It is the example of those in covenant with You. What mercy and grace, Father. We see in the historic quotes of our imperfect founding fathers an understanding of what You were doing through them. You kept Your plan in motion despite their known or unknown sin. You do the same today. You continue to woo us to the Cross in repentance, You deliver us from shame, You heal our land, and You use us to spread the Gospel of Your Kingdom to the nations. Despite our failures, America’s destiny to be a voice to spread the Gospel to the nations is still intact! Praise You, Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: There’s still a calling on this nation to be a voice for Jesus in the earth.

America’s God-bestowed Destiny God is about to move this nation into a great state of healing. Doesn’t it make sense that the Accuser, the enemy, would rise up and begin to point out the sins of the past? He’ll not only do that, but he will try to steal from us the good in our past. He contends that we are not a Christian nation. He argues that we don’t have righteousness in our roots. He and unbelievers in the political far left would unequivocally state, “This nation was not raised up by God.” Here is an excerpt from my book, Giants Will Fall, that references Karl Marx: “No wonder secularists want to steal America’s God-given history. We shouldn’t be surprised that former President Obama once said we were not a Christian nation, contending that we were also a Muslim nation, a Hindu nation, an atheist nation, and so on. Karl Marx once said, ‘The first battlefield is to rewrite history.’ The demons in Marx knew the power of history. And demons today inspire anti-Christ forces in America to try and rewrite ourhistory, as well. As Believers, what we must do is stake our claim to the fact that God birthed America and we are in covenant with Him. If we war using this truth, He will fight for us and defeat the giants.” It’s important to know that we have a God-given history. He raised up this nation. It’s also important to know the reason why. When Robert Hunt landed on the shores of Cape Henry in 1607, he made the following statement—prophesying, though he may not have called it that. He planted a cross on the beach and said, “The Gospel will go forth from these shores, not only to this land, but to all the nations of the earth.” This is God’s destiny for America. It was Israel that gave us the Gospel—the Messiah, Jesus, came from Israel. America was raised up and given the mantle to trumpet that Gospel and the message of Messiah. There has never been a nation with as great a destiny to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom and of salvation. That is our destiny. Our primary destiny is not simply to be the strongest or the richest nation on earth; to the contrary our strength and wealth were given to us in order to fulfill our destiny. “Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. … Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame. We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you. The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him. … Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear Your Name.” (Daniel 9: 4-5, 7-9, and 19; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Identificationally repent for the unwillingness of many to believe this nation was set apart by God for His purposes. Use the excerpt from Daniel 9 above. Declare, “This nation was raised up by God.” Say, “Satan will not steal from us the good in our past!” Decree, “Secularists will not steal America’s God-given history!” Proclaim, “The Gospel will go forth from America’s shores, not only to this land, but to all the nations of the earth.” Worship Him who established us with such a wonderful destiny! A prayer you can pray: Father, I come to you in deep humility and pray over America the prayer of Daniel from the book of Daniel, chapter 9: “Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. … Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame. We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you. The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him. … Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear Your Name.” Thank You for Your forgiveness. We can therefore make decrees of Your promises to us! The United States of America was raised up by You. God, Your destiny for America is intact! Satan will not steal from us the good in our past! Secularists will not steal America’s God-given history! The Gospel will go forth from America’s shores, not only to this land, but to all the nations of the earth. In hope and faith, we worship You and thank You for these things, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: America is a nation established by God to trumpet the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Repentance That Brings Healing to a Nation I have written in a number of my books about the power of history. I have written about healing history. We should not sweep under the rug the mistakes we have made. We need to talk about the fact that we broke covenants with the First Nations peoples. We need to learn about the slavery issue. We need to understand the effect on our nation of abortion and the shedding of innocent blood. We can’t just ignore these things. They have to be forgiven and healed. I have talked about identificational repentance. We can repent for the sins of our fathers and forefathers. God honors that. I have given biblical examples of this. In “The Way Back”, “Giants Will Fall”, and “Appeal to Heaven”, I speak of these things. No one that understands scripture is saying that we should ignore the past and act like it never happened. What we do teach is that we can repent for the sins of the past, and then the iniquities of the fathers are not passed on to the next generations. Also, God can begin to heal the wounds. There has been much repentance in America over our past sins. A lot of people protesting probably don’t know that. There are probably a lot of people in Native American communities, African American communities, and others, that don’t know that. Yet, there is a large element within the praying Church that understands this and has done a lot of it over the last 20 or more years. I am talking about 1000s of people and thousands of times. I have been in gatherings myself with thousands of people that prayed prayers of repentance over the sins of our ancestors. So, there has been a lot of intercession and a lot of repentance. I believe that because of that God is now able to cause healing. This is because when we repent and there is forgiveness, it brings release. Luke 6:36 says, “Forgive and you will be forgiven.” It also says, “Release and you’ll be released.” When we forgive and pray prayers of repentance, there is more than a verbal forgiveness. There is a release that happens. We are released from the guilt and shame. The access given to Satan to accuse, steal, kill, and destroy, is cut off. I believe that America, because of this repentance, is now at a place where healing can come. God will heal hearts, but also the scars, the pain, and the injustice. These things can now be changed. Evil iniquity and sin are no longer flowing through the cord of history. It has been broken through prayers of repentance. The blood of Jesus has been applied and healing can now come. “‘Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.’ If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.” (Matthew 6:12-14; NLT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord that He has allowed the chaos in the nation, so that we can see the work that still needs to be done. Thank the Lord for the thousands of people who have prayed thousands of prayers over the years in repentance for the many sins of our nation. Thank Him for leading us to repentance and forgiving those who forgive others and releasing us from any further generational bondage as a result. Ask the Lord to show acknowledgement and fruit of repentant prayers. Say, “God has heard our prayers of repentance. He has forgiven and He is healing our nation!” A prayer you can pray: God, we are thankful today! Our nation is in another cycle of turmoil. Rather than be afraid, let the Ekklesia be thankful to see the work that still needs to be done. We have come far, but there’s another layer here. You have given us the key to deal with much past sin and pain with the gift of identificational repentance. It is so encouraging to hear of the thousands of people who have prayed thousands of times for forgiveness for the sins of our forefathers. Thank You for identificational repentance. Thank You for breaking our hearts for what breaks Yours. Thank You for forgiving us as we press toward love and unity in the bond of peace. Lord, begin to show how far we have come. There have been times of healing and all is not lost. Manifest the fruit of repentance where all can see it. We believe You have heard our prayers of repentance, You have forgiven, and You are healing our nation! We will continue to pray and love and act until we see a clear turnaround in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: God is healing injustice in America.

An Attempt to Steal America’s History Let me say a few things about a dream in which President Trump said to me, “Pray that I would finish my 8 years well and the ancient markers of the founding fathers be restored.” And where in another dream, he was going up to the headwaters of the Allegheny River, or the beginning, where things started, and he began to decree that America will complete her course and finish well. There is a great destiny on this nation—a God-given destiny. There is a great movement underway, demonically-inspired, by the way, to thwart this. It is trying to steal our history and the fact that God raised up this nation. I want to be clear and say that I’m not at all saying that pleas for justice and peaceful protests against racism are demonically-inspired. America needs to take another step forward in the healing of our nation and the establishing of justice for all. I believe that is happening and will happen. Beyond that, there is a movement to try and steal from us our history. They point to almost anything in our beginning and say that we were born with evil motives by evil men. They say things didn’t begin in 1776, but the birth of the nation was in 1619 when slaves were brought into our nation. We existed as colonial extensions of many other nations at that point. Slavery was and is despicable. It did exist back then. It was dealt with in a significant way in the Civil War, as we all know. We have been on a journey since to eradicate racism. I don’t think it will ever be fully eradicated, because it is a heart issue. Satan is the author of all hate and he is behind racism. There will always be people he has access to. Even so, America has made great strides in eradicating the prejudice and racism that exist. The Lord wants to help us move that forward. Beyond that, notice when God is releasing dreams, insights, and appeals for prayer, asking us to pray regarding our ancient markers. He is asking us to pray about this, because this is our current assignment; our purpose. At the same time, there is an attempt by satan to steal from us and say all of our founders were bad—Washington, Jefferson, the Pilgrims, etc. Those being used by him are saying, “This is bad. We need to rewrite our history. We need to expose the evil of who we really are.” Isn’t it interesting that while God is asking us to pray so we can recover this history, satan is trying to steal our history? “This is what the LORD says: ‘Stand beside the roads and watch. Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is. Walk in it and find rest for yourselves. But they said, “We won’t walk in it!”’” (Jeremiah 6:16; ISV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Acknowledge before the Lord that this nation is imperfect with continuing injustices and pain from generational trauma on some of our people. This is especially true as a result of the sins of slavery and racism. Thank the Lord that He is allowing the current upheaval to bring another layer of healing to the people and the land. Pray for the hearts of men to be convicted of sin and come to the Cross of Christ in deep repentance, so they can be saved. Call for the wounded ones to come to the cross to find grace to help in time of need. Only at the cross is there healing for their souls. Notice that the enemy has come in to take advantage of this time of Divine exchange at the Cross of Christ. Satan has brought forth many forces all at once to create chaos and hitchhike on real issues, causing more pain and further division. Declare, “Stop, satan! America’s history will not be rewritten. In fact, it will be rediscovered and redeemed!” Tell the Lord, “We ask for the revelation of the ancient paths, so we can walk in them and find rest for our nation.” A prayer you can pray: Lord, some of the citizens of this nation have experienced racist attacks and the effects of the generational sin of slavery. We are thankful that this nation formally abolished slavery following a great Civil War, where thousands of lives were lost. The cost and bloodshed were so great, but it was worth it that all Americans might be free. We have moved far too slowly at times to correct the sins of our past. There are racists among us and pain is still being caused. Lord, only You can change hearts. Only You can deliver. We ask You to deal with the racist hearts. We can identificationally repent for the sins of our forefathers, but You are the One who heals. Even while we are working through another layer of repentance and forgiveness, the enemy is looking to steal, kill, and destroy. He wants to keep us all in bondage, where You would set us on a path to be truly free. There are those who even want to rewrite our history saying that we were never a Christian nation. They want to destroy our heritage, so we will not even think to look to You for deliverance. Stop, satan! America’s history will not be rewritten. In fact, it will be rediscovered and redeemed! We will learn from it and correct our course going forward. Save us, Lord, from the wicked ones with destructive agendas. We desire for America to be healed and made one, that beautiful melting pot You created us to be. We ask for the revelation of the ancient paths, so we can walk in them and find rest for our nation. We humbly ask this is Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: The history of America will be rediscovered, not rewritten!

A Holy Convocation – Reset 2020 In 2018, Holy Spirit gave one of my trusted prophetic friends a significant dream in which President Trump invited a small team (of which I was a part), to the White House. POTUS thanked me (Dutch) for the Appeal to Heaven prayer movement and presented me with a new Appeal to Heaven flag. He then prayed the following prayer: “Lord, let this man and these leaders convene a holy convocation that I might finish my eight years well, and the ancient markers of our founding fathers be restored.” I knew the dream was from God and have waited for His timing to convene this historic gathering. In another powerful dream recently sent to me, President Trump was alone in a small boat making his way upstream to the headwaters of the Allegheny River. On his arduous journey, he was greatly opposed. He eventually reached his destination, however, because the Ekklesia (Christ’s governing church) and the cloud of witnesses were along the banks covering him with prayer. I have been given more than one dream in which President Trump’s success in office is directly linked to the Ekklesia, the praying Church, interceding for him. In one, the president began to release decrees himself, stating that America “will complete her course and finish well.” Then I go on to say, “God is not finished with America—not even close—nor is he finished with President Trump. For America to return to her ancient markers and finish well, however, the Ekklesia must arise and prevail. No other force, strategy, or group can enable America’s reset. Only Christ’s authority released from His Church can restore our nation. In a battle of the ages, all hell is opposing this as can be clearly seen by the anger, senseless violence, and vitriolic hate in our land. I’m confident, however, that a willing remnant of the Ekklesia is rising, which the gates of hell cannot prevail against.” In another dream, a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit had been shown to the dreamer—a revival restoring the nation. At the end of the dream, a Time magazine cover was seen. It read, “Millions Baptized Into Their Inheritances. The Spirit of Adoption is Now on America.” I believe Holy Spirit’s choice of this particular publication, Time magazine, was to reveal that it is indeed time for this historical outpouring. A Third Great Awakening is coming quickly. We must respond in faith and action. Join me as we take our place in history and turn the tide for this great nation. Plan to attend Reset 2020, October 8th through the 10th in Middletown, OH. You can find more information or register here. “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.” (James 5:17; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Worship the Lord, the Giver of all things. He gives and He removes those things that stand in the way of His plans. He is doing that for America. Call for the Ekklesia to have the grace, revelation, and stamina to press in as we intercede for President Trump. Proclaim, “A willing remnant of the Ekklesia is rising, which the gates of hell cannot prevail against.” It appears God still has a role for President Trump to play in this season to keep America on track. Say, “God is not finished with America—not even close—nor is he finished with President Trump.” Intercede for the many revival fires being lit across the land—in California, Seattle, Minneapolis, New York, Georgia, and South Carolina. Decree, “It is time! Millions across this nation will be baptized into their inheritances. The Spirit of Adoption is now on America.” Plan to attend “Reset 2020” where you will be able to decree and declare the future of America together with other members of the Ekklesia. A prayer you can pray: Father, we worship Your great and mighty Name, that Name above all other names. You are the Giver of Life and that abundantly. You have created all things and You truly created this nation and our government for Your sovereign and Divine purposes. The enemy is trying rabidly to stop Your plan. He works methodically and patiently, then tries to strike at an opportune time. However, he overplays his hand and now we are able to see what he is up to. He is trying to remove America’s destiny. He is trying to erase our covenant with You and our covenant relationship with Israel. Yet, You will not allow it! You have raised up an army of prayer warriors in America. You have an Ekklesia that You have been training to decree and declare with authority Your will and agree with Your plans. A willing remnant of the Ekklesia is rising, which the gates of hell cannot prevail against. You have said through many prophets and many dreams that You are not finished with President Trump. Don’t let him falter or waver or give up, Lord. The attack against him is just relentless! However, we know You are not finished with America—not even close—nor are You finished with President Trump. Show us how to work with Holy Spirit to keep the enemy at bay, so he can accomplish everything You have laid out for him to do. The enemy has seen that it is time for a great outpouring of salvations and miracles. Millions across this nation will be baptized into their inheritances. The Spirit of Adoption is now on America. In California, Seattle, Minneapolis, New York, Georgia, South Carolina, and other places a revival move has begun. Don’t let the fire go out, Jesus! Give us plenty of time to get the harvest in! We will pray and we will act. Amen. Today’s decree: America will complete her course and finish well!

Reset 2020 In 2000, I had a very significant visitation from the Lord. He gave me His heart for America. As He gave me His heart and showed me the fallen condition of America, I wept with Him for the nation for 3½ hours. At one point, He said to me, “I must have this nation.” It was in the context of what He wanted to do in the earth in our day. I knew what He was saying was, “I must have the Church. The praying Church must do what I need her to do so I can redeem and restore America.” He also shared with me that He was about to reap a great harvest around the world. That started me on a new phase of my life and journey with Him. Now, twenty years later, 50 states later, 1000 cities, and millions of miles later, I feel like I’m coming to the end of that phase. That phase has been about the restoration and resetting of America. The turning of a nation back to Him through a Third Great Awakening. I believe we are coming to the end of that. Never have I been more convinced that the fate of our nation and what God wants to do around the world in our generation is in the hands of the Church. It’s not in the hands of the politicians, nor governments, nor parties, but the praying Church. In 2018, a prophet gave me a dream that the Lord gave him for me. In it, President Trump invited myself and others to the oval office. He spoke with us for a while and at the end he prayed a humble prayer. In that prayer, he asked the Lord, “Would You please have these leaders convene a Holy Convocation, so that I can finish my eight years well. Let the ancient markers of our founding fathers be restored.” I believe God is restoring America to our destiny. A part of that is restoring us to those ancient markers. Notice that President Trump didn’t say, “Pray for me regarding my eight years.” He didn’t ask for prayer about some agenda he was wanting to accomplish. If you take the dream literally, what God wants to accomplish through this man and what He wants to do in this nation is dependent on the praying Church. We are going to convene that Holy Convocation this October. I have been waiting for God’s time. We will be convening October 8-10 in Middletown, Ohio. The Ekklesia, the praying, governing, Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in America, is going to take our rightful place and govern for Him in this nation. We are going to make declarations and decrees. We are going to hear what He wants and insist that it happens by binding, loosing, and decreeing His Kingdom Will in the earth. I’m calling it “Reset 2020”, and I’m asking you to be there. Let’s join our hearts together and finish what many of us started years ago—seeing this nation turn back to God and Him accomplishing what He wants through the United States of America. Thank you. “Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten,…My great army which I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; then My people will never be put to shame.” (Joel 2:25-26; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for everything He has done to build a mighty, praying Ekklesia in and for America over the last twenty years. Intercede for the Church to get ready to push hard in intercession for America over the next few months leading up to “Reset 2020”. Pray for those the Lord has raised up to pray and speak into President Trump’s life and administration. Pray for protection over them and that they will be given the opportunity to finish everything God put them in place to accomplish. Say, “God’s plan for America in this hour will not be cut short!” Decree, “This nation will turn back to God!” Plan to attend “Reset 2020”. You can find out more about it and register here. A prayer you can pray: Lord, looking back over the last twenty or more years, we can see that You have been building a mighty, praying Ekklesia in this land. We are praying, interceding, binding, loosing, decreeing, and declaring Your purposes in our realms of influence. From our families to our churches, to our cities, states, regions, and this nation, we have called heaven to earth! We have traveled to many places across our states and across America, covenanting the land to Your promises, which we know are yes and amen to us. We are at the tipping point. We are at the place where the nation will stop falling away from You. It will RESET! We pray for all those who You have raised up to be in their right places for this reset. President Trump is in the right place. Let Him call out for You and Your wisdom in greater measure so he can finish well. Keep changing his Cabinet members and advisors until he is surrounded by Your counselors hand-picked to help him hear You. Thank You for increasing His humility. Let him learn to pray and seek Your face for the wisdom he desperately needs. We say, “Your plan for America in this hour will not be cut short! This nation will turn back to God!” We believe we will see the Third Great Awakening in more power and glory than we could have ever imagined possible. Thank You, Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: The Ekklesia is taking our rightful place to govern for Him in this nation!

The Finishing Anointing in the New Era – Part 6 [We began a very encouraging series 7/16 from a message Chuck Pierce released on Sunday, 7/12.] “In your testings, you have to press to the end of the test. Some people take lots of courses, but they don’t want to take the tests. However, you are going to have to take the tests to be affirmed that you have overcome. You are going to have to take the test to be affirmed that you have mastered that subject. You are going to have to take the test to be affirmed that you can rise up over what was trying to master you. You are going to have to finish something some way. “In the 1970s I was trying to break a habit and needed to do something to distract myself, so I did needlepoint. It was tedious and I would want to put it down. Yet, I knew that if I put it down and didn’t get to the end of it, I wouldn’t break the cycle of the other. “God wants us to have a finishing anointing. He wants us to get to the end of things. There is an action line in your life. You are going to press toward the mark until. You are going to keep action flowing until you cross the finish line. When we moved into our new building, it was a mess. I wondered if I had gone over the edge and made a huge mistake, but I realized I would rather go bankrupt trying to follow God into what He had for us than to go nowhere. I even said that. A month after we moved out of the old place, it was sold. If we hadn’t moved, we wouldn’t have had anywhere to meet! “That still didn’t tell me how we were going to convert the massive messed up space we had bought into what God wanted for us. God said, ‘You start with the garden, because I started with a garden before I ever built the temple. Until you know how my garden life works, you don’t need to get sequestered in a building. That garden was overwhelming for Pam at first, because that was my wife’s assignment. Yet, she sought the Lord and it became an oasis and a blessing to our whole city. “‘Behold, I do a new thing,’ says the Lord. ‘Do you perceive what I’m doing?’ There comes a moment when everything shifts. The Lord’s question to us means that we could miss that moment. Then He said, ‘It is finished! The end of what I’ve been called to do is now. Come. I want to say to you, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”’” “Watch closely: I am preparing something new; it’s happening now, even as I speak, and you’re about to see it. I am preparing a way through the desert; waters will flow where there had been none.” (Isaiah 43:19; The Voice) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Let the Lord dialogue with you, “How do we finish strong?” At the end of each day, make a list of the things you must accomplish tomorrow. Prioritize it as you begin the new day. Start with the first thing, then move through it until it is complete. If you hit a snag, jump to the next thing and go back. At the end of the day, review and adjust the list, then make a new list for the next day. There are consequences to procrastination and leaving things unfinished. Are there things you have left undone that the Lord is asking you to go back to and finish? Rejoice in the Lord! You will finish well! Keep doing the things above and before long what needs to get finished will get finished. A prayer you can pray: Father, I don’t know how everything that needs to be moved forward is going to be moved forward, but I know it has to start somewhere. I believe that the things you have called those of us working together in our congregation or community or sphere to do will have great impact throughout the whole world. We are going to keep moving forward because the Church is called to heal the nation and the nations of the earth. We decree that the action line in each of us is being activated. Whatever action for faith that’s needed, let there be loosed an anointing for timing. Let a finishing anointing be loosed. Let there be a new resistance and a new strength released in us. We decree the fear of the future, the traumas of the past, and the self-desire of the present will not stop us from finishing what we need to finish this season! It is finished! We will shout it every morning until it manifests in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: The Church and this nation will flourish and will finish well! Learn more about Chuck Pierce here.

The Finishing Anointing in the New Era – Part 5 [We began a very encouraging series 7/16 from a message Chuck Pierce released on Sunday, 7/12.] “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe that? He would say to us, ‘You have a past, you have a present, and you have a future. The only way you can walk in victory is to allow the action of My Spirit to move You into that victory. You have a future self right now that’s setting goals and wants to see certain things happen. You want to experience certain things in your life. You have these future goals, but you have this present self that’s going to have to create some sort of willful action so that your future goals go into movement. If your present self doesn’t move right, submitted to Me, your future in Me gets postponed. It gets delayed. It gets stopped.’ “He says, ‘You’re dealing with certain past and present issues of emotion that are hindering the movement of your future. If you don’t come to some place of finishing your past and your present, you’ll never activate your future. Your past self is hanging onto certain traumas that you have experienced that you are holding down in your emotions. Fears that are playing on those traumas are keeping you from crossing an action line.’ “Here’s what you have to understand. God is God. He is sovereign. He knows when He is ready for us to move. He knows at what point we must take action. I write books, therefore, I have deadlines. When I don’t hit my deadlines, my action level starts wavering. It’s the same with you. If we don’t hit certain deadlines, and hit certain faith actions, we are held in our last season. It will take an action of your will, especially if you don’t really want to do what you need to do. “Sometimes it’s an experiment. You start moving until God stops you. It just can’t move forward yet. But the time will come when you will move forward. There is an action line in you that God is trying to get in order. You are going to know that if you don’t give, or worship, or take some action, something’s not going to work out for you. “So, for us to get into the new, we have to have some level of hope that rises fresh within us. Faith is going to spring from hope. Faith is an action. If the enemy can destroy your hope and keep deferring it, you will eventually just get sick. If you never get to the end of hope, an infirmity of weakness sets in on you. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. If you can’t bring your hope into a place of finishing power, sickness will set up against you. That’s what is wrong with America.” “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 13:12; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Take an assessment of yourself today. Are you happy and fulfilled? Are your hope and faith high? Are you under spiritual attack? Are you confused and struggling? Are you sick? Your hope may be deferred. Ask yourself right now, “Do you really believe that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever?” Do you know you are deeply loved by the Lord and that He has a perfect plan for you? Let hope arise in you. Say, “Lord, I don’t want to be left in my last season.” Ask Him to heal you of the effects of any deep trauma you have experienced in a past season. Intercede into the past traumas of this nation as He leads you. Break the effects of trauma off of a people group you may represent. Ask Him where you stopped moving forward and ask for the grace to move again. Just take one step at a time, but keep moving. A prayer you can pray: Father, I come to You today in need of an adjustment. I want to finish well. I love You and am so thankful for Your unending love and devotion to me. Let’s talk together today about how I am doing spiritually. Where am I on track and where am I stuck? Where has my hope become deferred to the point of causing me heartache or physical illness? Am I filled with joy and trust and expectation? Do I really believe that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Do I fully trust in your love? Align my heart with yours! Lord, I don’t want to be left in my last season. I want to fulfill the things You have destined for me. If there is any place of trauma I have experienced that is holding me back in fear, please heal me. I pray the same for this nation. Where people groups have experienced corporate trauma, Lord, heal. Heal and deliver. Let those of us around them intercede for their healing, and act in healing ways toward them. We must be one. We must be unafraid of one another. We must be each other’s best cheerleaders. Where I, as an individual have stopped, or where our nation has stopped moving forward, let hope arise and manifest in faith. Jesus, arise within us and be gracious to us. America will be saved! Amen. Today’s decree: Let hope arise within the Church so our nation can fulfill its destiny! Learn more about Chuck Pierce here.

The Finishing Anointing in the New Era – Part 4 [We began a very encouraging series 7/16 from a message Chuck Pierce released on Sunday, 7/12.] “The Lord is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows the day you are going to die and He knew the day He was going to put you in the earth realm. All order comes through His voice, because He’s the One that’s creating our future. He has already created what we’re supposed to be in this next season. Your end is actually the start of your new beginning. So, why do so many people resist their end or the ending of a season in their lives? If we really believe God is Alpha and Omega, why are we resisting ending a season when it is the beginning of a new season? “Let me ask you a question. Have you ever procrastinated? I’m not a big procrastinator—at least in the things I need to do for other people. Procrastination is really interesting. Let me give you an example from my relationship with my friend, Barbara Wentroble. We travelled together on a team for years. Every 3 months she started a new diet. She always stuck with it. She had great results and looked incredible. At the beginning of trips, she would explain the diet to me. I would look down at myself and think, ‘Why can’t she just leave me alone?’ “So, one time she was on a high protein diet and she told me how to do it. We ate at a buffet. She went through and got her protein. I was right behind her and I got my protein and was doing great with my choices until we got to the biscuits and gravy. I said, ‘This isn’t going to work for me. Maybe I’ll start tomorrow or in a couple of months when you’re on a different diet.’ That’s called procrastination. “I had to ask the Lord why I don’t always want to do something. If you’ll ask Him, He’ll tell you. Here’s the thing about procrastination: if you start something and you don’t get to the end of it, you don’t receive the anointing of resistance and celebration that allows you to start something again. Therefore, we have to learn the process of finishing. “Here’s what happens with procrastination. It is a putting off. You go against your own better judgement and do one thing when you know you should do another. For example, I know I need to lose weight, but I’m going to go against my own better judgement so I can taste what I want to taste in the moment. Then, I can be satisfied in the moment. We procrastinate because we won’t allow a new way or a better way to rise up within us.” “Look carefully, then, how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Worship the Lord, because He is the Creator of all things! He knows the end from the beginning and He lines things up perfectly for us, even when we move out of His timing! Repent if you have procrastinated in anything He has told You to do. Repent if you know you are actually resisting something He has told you to do. Intercede for governing leaders from the president on down through the Congress, your governor, your county leaders, and your Mayor and Council. All of them are a potential stopping point for the nation moving forward. All of their decisions can work together to advance or stop our nation’s movement forward. Say, “Our nation is here at an ending and a beginning today.” Declare, “Our leaders will need to stop going against their own better judgement and do one thing when they know they should do another! Straighten them out, Lord! Save us from their earthly wisdom!” A prayer you can pray: Oh God, You are magnificent! You are holy and wise, compassionate and merciful. You know when we are off the rails and how to get us back on. You do this for us as individuals, as congregations, and as nations. Your purposes are unfathomable, but we know You are working all things together for our good and for the fulfillment of Your Kingdom purposes! You line things up perfectly for us, if we will seek You. You hold things in a state of suspense at times until we find our place of alignment with You. When we are in fear, we run all around, get stuck, and can’t find our path, so give Your Church Your peace once again, so we can get on track! We lift up our governing leaders. They are also trying to find the right way forward in a season where we have no frame of reference. Even the best of them are making messes. We desperately need prophets and apostles raised up to lead or to speak into our leaders. Help us, Lord! At every level, our nation desperately needs You. Our nation is at an ending and a beginning today. Old things are passing away. New things must come into being. Our leaders will need to stop going against their own better judgement and do one thing when they know they should do another! Straighten them out, Lord! Save us from their earthly wisdom in Jesus’ merciful Name. Amen. Today’s decree: God is doing a new thing in the nation and we will not resist it! Learn more about Chuck Pierce here.
