Learning to be a Fighter “I want you to learn to be a fighter this year. Don’t let Satan run over you like a smooth road. Decree and declare, ‘This is my reset year. This is my year of restitution. This is my year of restoration. This is a year when I’m going to see a blessing come to my life.’ You’re going to have to fight for it, and you need to be right with God. Make sure that you’re aligned with the Lord. Make sure you’ve forgiven anybody you need to forgive. If things happened to you last year, leave those things behind in forgiveness, okay? It works. Forgive; it’ll make you feel so good to forgive. And those people you haven’t forgiven, usually they don’t care if you’re upset with them for the most part. “Here are some principles to understand about resetting and restitution: “Number one: Satan is the thief. Don’t be mad at God. Satan is a thief, and we have to understand that we need to rise up and say to him, ‘No, you cannot have my family. You cannot touch my finances. You cannot have these circumstances that are coming.’ Imagine if you are in a relationship with someone and you have blessed them so much, and they’re just mad at you, because bad things happen. Well, you didn’t cause those bad things to happen. It was someone else, maybe a thief or something. This is what the Bible is trying to say to us. Look, it is Satan that is robbing you. The Lord says, ‘I’ve come to give you life and life more abundantly.’ “Number two: Jesus came to give us an abundant life. “Number three: it’s not automatic. “Number four: we need to claim the provision. “Number five: people do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he’s starving. This is Proverbs 6:30 and 31. Yet when he’s found, he must restore sevenfold. He may have to give up all the substance of his house. “Decide: this is a year of complete realignment. I’m going to grow into my skin. I’m going to come into the purpose and destiny of God. I’m going to have restoration and restitution.” (Cindy Jacobs) “People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.” (Proverbs 6:30-31; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Decree and declare, “This is my reset year. This is my year of restitution. This is my year of restoration. This is a year when I’m going to see a blessing come to my life.” Read Proverbs 6:30-31. Believe it! Call back everything that has been stolen from you by the enemy. Say out loud, “No, you cannot have my family. You cannot touch my finances. You cannot have the circumstances that are coming in my life.” Declare abundant life over yourself and your family. Tell the enemy he gets to give you a seven-fold return of all he has taken from you. Thank the Lord for this spiritual law. A prayer you can pray: God, You are so faithful! You are the Giver of all things. You give life, health, provision, grace, peace, and so many other things. You are not the taker. You are not the thief, though the devil would like us to think so. You have brought the Church to a unique time, and I say, “This is my reset year. This is my year of restitution. This is my year of restoration. This is a year when I’m going to see a blessing come to my life.” I call back everything the enemy has stolen from me. In every situation where he has thought he could take advantage of me. Lord, provide me the faith to get up and demand my health, wealth, peace, etc., back! To every force of darkness, I say, “No, you cannot have my family. You cannot touch my finances. You cannot have the circumstances that are coming in my life. You are not going to stop what God is doing. You get to give back seven-fold what you have stolen from me!” God, You are giving me and my family abundant life! Thank You for everything, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: This is the year of reset, restoration, and restitution! Learn more about Cindy Jacobs here.

God is Restoring it All! “You know, Mike and I had such a year of joyful increase. We took the word about reset, restoration, and restitution seriously. In fact, Mike and I always do this: we sow into the word; we give offerings. The Bible says that ministers are worthy of double honor, so we personally believed; we started giving cash offerings to different people we knew. We began to sow and sow. We cast our bread upon the waters, and God just brought it back on every wave. It’s amazing. I had spent some money, and we were at a point where we needed a blessing to come; then I found some money I didn’t even know I had. God is just wonderful to us. “Going into the Promised Land was a reset for the children of God. That was an alignment coming into their destiny as a people. When we heard this word, Mike and I knew we needed to reset. There were things that we owned that were broken. There were things I had that we were not able to get fixed. I had a cute little car. Four years ago, I had an accident in that car, and I said, ‘Lord, this is a year of reset for that car.’ We took it in, and we got it fixed for way cheaper than they said. I am driving it now. We were able to work out the problems. And you know what? We had a reset. I mean, it is a little thing. But to me, it was something that was fun. It was something I really loved to drive. So, from four years ago, I had a reset. And God wants to do that for your life.” “Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.” (Isaiah 61:7; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Lack often brings shame. Bring any shame to the Lord. When the enemy steals from you, it can make you feel vulnerable. Ask the Lord to be your strong tower and the place of refuge you can run into and be glad. When someone breaks your trust or betrays you, you can harden your heart, close off your life, or even grow bitter. If any of these are happening in your life. Run to His throne of grace to find grace to help in time of need. Is there an area of your life where you just haven’t been able to move forward? Command the way open before you! Say, “The Lord wants to bless me in this area. I am moving forward!” Declare, “God is calling this nation forward into its destiny. No weapon formed against it shall prosper!” A prayer you can pray: Jesus, You are the shame taker. You are the way maker. You are the One that makes a way when there seems to be no way. It does not matter what Satan has taken. He can’t keep it. Your Word is clear. You want to bless me in this area. I am moving forward! The double portion is coming back into the void. Instead of shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor we shall rejoice in our lot; therefore in the land we shall possess a double portion; we shall have everlasting joy. We are going to sow. We are going to sow extravagantly! We are going to sow financially. We are going to sow relationally. We are going to sow into people. We are going to sow into missions. We are going to sow into the needs of our communities. We are going to sow into the poor. We are going to sow into election campaigns. We are going to sow by serving others. We are going to sow in intercession. We are going to sow with great joy! We are going to sow and see a harvest in our personal lives and in this nation. You are calling this nation forward into its destiny. No weapon formed against it shall prosper! Kingdom come and will of God be done in this nation, even as it is in heaven, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: Our loving Father wants to reset and restore big, national things, and small, personal things. Learn more about Cindy Jacobs here.

The Year of Reset, Restoration, and Restitution “It is a year of reset. This is the day when we will be anointed for reset. This reset will bring a breakthrough for relations, for families, for the nation. God is going to turn impossible situations around. That’s an exciting word for 2020, isn’t it? “Now, there’s something else connected with this reset. This reset is also going to bring restitution. Many people don’t understand this word, but let’s talk about this prophetically. Restitution was part of the Old Testament law. These were laws of recompense for people that were robbed. They included recompense for loss of animals, bride price, money taking through defrauding the poor or so forth. “This was also seen with Zacchaeus. You may remember Zacchaeus in Luke 19 when Jesus said, ‘Zacchaeus come down; I’m going to stay with you today.’ This appalled the Pharisees that Jesus would stay with such a sinner. But it so touched Zacchaeus’ heart that he said to the Lord, ‘Lord, I am now giving half of my possessions to the poor. And if I cheated anyone out of anything, I will give back four times as much.’ In other words, God, through this word of the Lord to Zacchaeus, so moved upon Zacchaeus who had been such a sinner, such a thief, such a cheat and robber. He was the chief of the tax collectors and very rich. Just through Jesus reaching out to him, it convicted him, and he decided he wasn’t going to just give some money to the poor; he was going to give half of his possessions. And any way he cheated people, he was going to restore more than he had to restore. “And so, we see that God wants to re-establish what Satan has robbed from you. I love this word. When God spoke this to me and to other prophets as well, I began to believe for restoration. And we’re seeing restoration of relationships. I’m seeing some things happen in situations that were not of my will, different relationships that got broken, even in ministry. I didn’t know what to do about it. I’ve prayed; I forgave. Someone had spoken against me. But you know what? God is doing it, and He’s doing it in such a way that it’s just beautiful to see.” (Cindy Jacobs) “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Has the enemy stolen anything from you, recently? Or, are you carrying pain from a prior season of loss? Bring that situation to the Lord right now. Let’s believe God will give you restitution. Why don’t you make a list? Make a restitution list, a restoration list. And say, okay, this year I want my life in this new era to have a reset. I want my life in this new era to be changed. You know what? God can do that for you. Intercede for someone else you know who is living through an unjust situation. Each Believer has a different thought on which is the most significant issue of injustice our nation is facing. This could be a local issue, a statewide issue or a national issue. What has the Lord shown you? Call for a reset, restoration and restitution from the enemy into that situation you care passionately about. A prayer you can pray: Lord, You are the God of restoration. I see that You want to re-establish what Satan has robbed from me. I am believing for restoration. You are going to reset my life and restore to me all that was stolen by the enemy. You are going to make him give it all back. My health is coming back. My wealth is coming back. My life is getting back on track. I’m going to see a restoration of relationships. Restore my prodigals. So many things. Satan, you don’t get to keep what you took from me. You have to give it all back! I come into agreement with the prophets and I say this is the season of restoration, and even restitution. Lord, this isn’t just for me. This is for the entire Body of Christ. (Intercede for that one you know needs a reset, restoration, and restitution, as well.) Satan, you can’t steal from them, either. We are going to join forces against you together until the restoration comes. This isn’t just for individuals, but those societal situations of injustice are going to be dealt with in this season, as well. (Intercede into that thing the Lord has placed on your heart that needs His intervention and turnaround.) I believe this is the season for this thing to unravel. It is time for righteousness and restoration to sweep across this land in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: God is resetting and restoring what has been lost in former seasons.

God-Solutions are Coming for Violence and Disturbances “This is a time of very strong violence in the heavens. As we look at nations, we see there’s violence in weather; there’s violence in the earth. There are stronger earthquakes (there was just an earthquake in Bogota), volcanoes erupting, weather-related patterns, fires breaking out. Whether or not these things are natural, they do cause disturbance in people’s lives. “In the next few years, we see in the U.S. and other countries that there will be more and more clashes. There are going to be clashes that rise up again, and we need to pray about this. In fact, if we pray about them, we can quell them, and it doesn’t necessarily have to happen. But I see people becoming very heated with one another. And I want to just say from the Holy Spirit that regardless of how you feel politically, there needs to be civility. The Holy Spirit can help us discuss issues, even disagree, without getting mad, without getting angry over it, or without using derogatory speech. I think that we can be Christ-like in how we’re sharing. We are in a Jesus movement, and the love of the lost is breaking out in ways beyond what we can imagine. “Great authority to make decrees is coming, and governments will change as a result of these decrees. We also received an exhortation the Lord has really strongly given me: do not simply prophesy the problems from the Earth, but if God gives you these warnings, see heaven’s solutions. In other words, prophesy from the throne of God. We are seated with Him in heavenly places. Prophesy God’s solutions ─ what He wants to do and His heavenly perspective.” (Cindy Jacobs) “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.” (Job 22:28; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Is there a natural disaster that is on your heart? Intercede into it. Decree the goodness and mercy of God into it. Is there a relational conflict or crisis that you are concerned about? Do the same for that. Be very aware and watch for these matters. Learn to do two things: pray ahead of disasters and conflicts, as the Holy Spirit gives you warning. Additionally, pray into them once they manifest. Decree God’s intervention and manifested hand to save. Call forth God-solutions. Cry out for the love of God to be manifest by the Church in the middle of violence, disturbances, and disruptions. Let the Body of Christ be examples of grace and mercy, healing, hope, and encouragement. Declare that the lost will find Jesus in the crisis moments. A prayer you can pray: Lord, the earth seems to be in upheaval. We know Your Word tells us that this will be more and more the case as the time of Your coming draws near. We want to keep our eyes on You and help navigate the challenging situations the earth will face. We know there will be natural and man-made crises. We know there will be need of physical and spiritual intervention. Show us what we need to be watching over and watching for. Raise up the local, national, and international watchmen on the walls. Let us get ahead of tragedies before they can even strike. However, if they do, let us intervene in intercession and action to bring quick resolutions and healing to our communities. Let Your people be the ones with the answers. Lord, revivals often accompany natural disasters. People start looking for You in hard times. Some will lean toward rejecting You, but let us get to them first! Let us bring Jesus’ hope and life into the pain and despair of loss. Lord, send us into the harvest. Make us Your hearts, and mouths, ears, hands, and feet; bringing the Gospel to those Who need You. Thank You, Jesus. Amen. Today’s decree: The Ekklesia will prophesy solutions from heaven into the problems of the earth. God will hear and answer! Learn more about Cindy Jacobs here.

Prophecy is Increasing “The Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders met in Dallas in November 2019, as we do every year. We saw that the prophetic is going to rise up in many spheres of authority. There are going to be marketplace prophets. We were talking to one the other day, and he was telling us that when he’s with a group of business people, he gets very detailed words. Some people call that an ‘Issachar Prophet ’─ one that knows the signs of the time. Chuck Pierce, I think, is certainly one of those, and there are others as well that are that kind of prophets. So, look for some more revelation on, and a fleshing out more, of these [different] kinds of prophetic types. We know there are Psalmists that will sing just the word of the Lord. It will be exactly what needs to be heard. “Another thing we heard in this year of the voice was that we need to let the Spirit’s voice be heard around the world and be established. And here are some ways: · Number one, a voice of warning. Watchmen will be sounding the alarm. If you are feeling something coming that is dangerous to your nation or if you had a dream, many times that’s God telling you to pray about that thing. · Number two is being a voice of righteousness. · Number three, increased guidance will be given through the prophets to world leaders. There are governmental prophets rising up, and it’s very exciting. This is a really common occurrence for me to speak to world leaders, to give them prophetic counsel, or to prophesy to them. That’s one of the jobs of the Prophet. · Another way the voice will be heard is through decrees and proclamation. · Another is wise choices in what we preach. “I saw a vision of the word ‘watch’, and the Lord told me that He was going to confirm that we are going to have more intercessors. They’re going to have more war rooms, and we’ll be able to watch and be watchmen.” (Cindy Jacobs) “For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Peter 1:21; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Welcome the increase of the prophetic in this era. Declare, “In the last days, our young men and women will prophesy. We are excited about that!” Call forth the prophets to different sectors of society – especially prophets to business, to government, to education, to media, to arts and entertainment. Intercede now that their character will line up with the Word, so they can carry the call. “We call them righteous, holy, set apart unto the Lord and His work.” Decree, “Prophets will be raised up and trained quickly in protocol and proper delivery for their arena of influence. Put Your Words in their mouths. We decree the way open for them. Divine alignment! Divine connections! Open doors that no man can shut!” A prayer you can pray: Father, it is time for the prophets to arise in the nation. We welcome the increase of the numbers of prophetic voices. We say they are necessary for the time. We welcome them into all areas of society, especially those where they have not been seen very often, such as in business, government, education, media, and arts and entertainment. You have positioned many in the marketplace. Stop them from thinking they are in the wrong place in service to You. They are in the exact right place. Now, let their voices be heard! Let them speak forth strategies, policies, inventions, and laws. Let them encourage bosses over them and employees under them. Let them decree the success of the venue in which they have been placed. Let the world see what is happening and be drawn to Jesus. Let prophesy increase for the building up of the Body of Christ and the expansion of Christ’s Kingdom in the earth! We call these prophets righteous, holy, set apart unto You and Your work. You are raising up prophets who will be trained quickly in protocol and proper delivery for their arena of influence. Put Your Words in their mouths. We decree the way open for them. Divine alignment! Divine connections! Open doors that no man can shut, Jesus!” Amen. Today’s decree: We welcome the prophets coming forth in every sector of society! Learn more about Cindy Jacobs here.

Learning to Fight for Your Promised Land “So, we say that this is a season where we’re going to have to go to war if we’re going to get into our Promised Land. Looking at the biblical symbolism of taking your Promised Land, when the children of Israel crossed the Jordan, there were all kinds of tests and things they had to do. They didn’t just stand on the Promised Land and say, ‘Well, here I am!’ and all the giants ran away, and all the problems ran away. No, they had to fight for it. “This is a season where we’re going to have to go to war to come into our reset and our blessings and our purpose. But don’t let that make you afraid. Just learn how to go to war ─ it’s very important. We need to know how to navigate in prayer and deal with the powers of darkness coming against us. We need to go back and re-teach those things that we taught many years ago. One of the things that my generation should do is teach the next generation what we know, and my generation knew how to go to war.” (Cindy Jacobs) “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Tell the Lord how badly you want to see what He has promised to you. Declare how much you want to see His promises to your city, state, and this nation come to pass. Congressman Louie Gohmert recently said, “Many Christians lean on their shovel and pray for a hole.” There are times when the Lord wants you to do something toward the answer of your prayers. Say, “Here I am, Lord. Send me!” Brush up on spiritual warfare. Read all the warfare passages of the Bible. Ask Holy Spirit to teach you. Read books on the topic like Intercessory Prayer and Possessing the Gates of the Enemy. Think about those in your circle of influence who are younger than you. What about Believers who are newer to the Kingdom? Do you know something about spiritual warfare that you can teach them? Make a plan to do it. Use technology – conference calls or video-chat services, like Zoom, Periscope, etc. Don’t hesitate! Put the word out! A prayer you can pray: Lord, this is the year I am taking the promises You have given me very seriously. It is time for those things to become reality! You have said it is the year, so I will stir up my faith to believe it. I declare that Your promises over my life and my family are coming to pass (name them). I declare that the promises You have made to my city are manifesting this year. My state is going to line up with prophetic words spoken over it. The United States of America has had numerous Words given and many are manifesting now. I will decree them again as if they have already come to pass. (Google some or search Elijahlist to find those words and decree them!) Lord, I want to be an answer, not just an intercessor. I want feet put to my prayers. Here I am. Send me. What would You have me to do? As I remind myself of the principles of spiritual warfare, show me who I can take along on that journey. Who can war alongside me? Who can I teach? What is our assignment? Give me Your plan and make the way clear for me to accomplish it. I am willing to learn new things, like how to use certain technology, so I can equip someone else. Thank You, Jesus, for Your leading, guiding and directing. Amen. Today’s decree: The older will teach the younger, and we will war together to secure our nation in Him!

Singing a Song of War We are in a fascinating new era. It is going to be fast-paced and fruitful. There will be challenges, but it will be important how we face those challenges. We have to remember that we are in the decade to open up our mouths! No more silent, hopeful petitions. It’s time to open the heavens and partner with the Lord in the earth, declaring and decreeing our way forward. Here’s an important revelation from Cindy Jacobs: “This year in the Hebrew is 5780. There’s symbolism in this to help us understand what the Holy Spirit is saying. It’s not only a new era, but it is a year of the voice. Now what do we want to say about the year of the voice? 2 Chronicles 20:20 says: ‘So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”’ “Then he goes on to talk about something that is very critical for this season: “And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: ‘Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.’” (2 Chron. 20:21, NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Did you realize you can decree and declare in song? Shift your mindset to worship and praise differently. Our focus should always start with worship directed to God. Tell Him how wonderful He is! Now, declare His goodness, His might, His victorious, overcoming nature. Imagine the enemy listening to you extol the virtues of the Lord. Now, make it personal. What are you warring for? What does the Word say about that situation? Praise God for the outcome in advance! Did you listen to the State of the Union Address last night? Look for the transcript on whitehouse.gov. Praise God for the wonderful things He is orchestrating in our nation right now. National support for Life, guarantees of freedom of religion, alignment with Israel, and a strong economy and jobs. Among other things. Declare, “Let God arise, and our enemies be scattered!” A prayer you can pray: God, we praise You! You are worthy of all of our worship and honor and praise! You know our circumstances and have already provided a way out! We will open up our mouths in the midst of our enemies and we will extol Your virtues. You are holy, righteous, and glorious. You are merciful and kind. You are just and You redeem us from the traps the enemy lays for us. You are the way-maker. You put Your words in our mouths, so we hit the mark when we intercede. We will decree the decrees of the Lord and we will be victorious over all the works of the evil one against us. Teach us to war with those words from that place of intimacy with You. From under the shadow of Your wings, we will prevail. What can the enemy do to us? He cannot access us there. We declare that the praises of God are a two-edged sword in our mouth. They cut the way open and they destroy all the works of darkness. Nothing is left behind that can stand in the way of Your plans. We decree that You are turning our nation around completely. Nothing the enemy can do can stop it! You are using President Trump to right so many wrongs of the past. He has committed to stand for Life and end abortion in America. He has been a strong advocate to end human trafficking. He has worked hard to strengthen our economy and put Americans to work again across all sectors – all Americans, every race, every neighborhood, city and rural, every age, male and female. He and his team are figuring out balanced and fair immigration standards, healthcare solutions, education options, the opiod crisis, diminishing student loan debt, and many other things. He has come alongside Israel and is helping form a workable solution to the Mid-East peace process. You are the reason. He is listening to Your people. He values prayer. Lord, President Trump is Your instrument, but we praise You for this turnaround! We say, “Our mighty God will vanquish all of our enemies! There is nothing they can do to stop You when You are on the move, Jesus!” Amen. Today’s decree: Let faith arise! Let our voices be heard in praise! Let our enemies be scattered!

Reverend David Kennedy TODAY AT NOON – FEBRUARY ONE VOICE PRAYER MOVEMENT CALL: Noon ET by Dialing 712-775-7430 with no code, or 712-775-7431 then enter 2452#. Or, join the webcast by clicking HERE. February has been designated Black History Month. A story recently hit the national news that embodies this month. It is the story of Rev. David Kennedy. He lives in Laurens, South Carolina. It’s a small town in a rural area, and for more than 20 years Rev. Kennedy has been working to bring racial reconciliation to that place. You see, that small town housed the World Famous Ku Klux Klan Museum. In 1997, due to an interesting string of events only God could orchestrate, the Reverend ended up owning the building it was housed in. The reason Rev. Kennedy’s story is in the news right now is that it has been made into a movie about to be released on February 28th. It’s called, “Burden”. The title comes from the name of a man, Michael Burden. Michael was a Klansman who was tasked with killing the reverend, as he “bothered” the Klan. They had lynched his uncle more than 100 years ago, and now one of them had opened a shop filled with Klan memorabilia, called “The Redneck Shop”. Rev. Kennedy tried to get them to close the shop, as he felt it was a magnet for hatred. Instead of being bitter and angry and hating the Klan, Rev. Kennedy decided to walk in the ways of His Savior. He forgave the racist acts, and tried to get them to reconcile with him. His quest began in the 1990s, and the Klan was having none of it. However, it appears that God intervened as Rev. Kennedy prayed. The title to the property where the museum was housed was in the name of a key member, Michael Burden. Under pressure from his girlfriend, he tried to leave the group and was kicked out of the building. David saw him on the street with his family and intervened to help him without question. Out of those circumstances, Michael deeded the building to him for $1000. However, there was one caveat: David couldn’t occupy the building while the owner of “The Redneck Shop” still did business there. That tenant finally passed in 2017, clearing the way for David Kennedy to finally heal history and bring full restoration and reconciliation to Laurens. “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32; BSB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Notice the years mentioned in the story above. Rev. Kennedy was not working to end racial hatred in his town in the 1920’s or the 1960’s. It was 1996 to now. Let that sink in. Follow the directions in Ephesians 4:31-32 and make sure there is nothing negative in your own heart or mind toward any other racial group. Are you aware of any racially charged situation(s) in your city? Intercede regarding it. Pray that the Lord uses the movie, “Burden”, to highlight how the Church moved to lovingly correct history in their town. Pray it catches on! Decree, “I will pray and act to end racism and bring reconciliation in my own community. Racism will eventually end in the United States of America.” A prayer you can pray: Father, what a motivating story of the persistence of Your love in Your people. Rev. Kennedy never gave up. He knew what you wanted him to do. He had a choice to hate because of his uncle’s lynching by the Klan, or to forgive. He chose the latter, then he lived it out. You set up the circumstances, and he walked right into them and through them in righteousness. I am very sure it was not easy. I can imagine it was frightening at times for him and his family, but he leaned on You, and look at the outcome! Now, the whole world will be able to see what Your love can do. History is being corrected in Laurens, South Carolina. Hate is being challenged and love is winning. We need a whole lot more of that in America. This is one of countless racial conflicts happening in the U. S. on too consistent a basis. Make us the answer, Lord. We are supposed to be, but we often ignore things, because it’s scary or hard. If we are confronted, let us show love. If there is any opportunity for us to engage hate like this, give us the opportunity to bring You into the middle of it. Use Rev. Kennedy and Micheal Burden’s story to shift the nation’s mindset. Let the world see the love of Jesus. I will pray and act to end racism and bring reconciliation in my own community. Racism will eventually end in the United States of America, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: One situation at a time, one town at a time, we will repent, forgive, and heal our land.

It’s a New Era “2020 is significant in that it is literally a new era. One of the words God has given is that we’re going to grow into our own skin. What do I mean by that? We’re going to grow into the purpose of God that He has for us. It’s time to intentionally say: What is my purpose, where am I going in life, and how do I achieve that? And how do I come into conversion – a place where our full gifts and our full abilities are used? It’s a very exciting season. “Of course, it will be a challenging season as well. Any time you’re going to a new level – we used to say, ‘New levels, new devils’ – there will be some resistance. Think about going into the Promised Land, how there was resistance and there were giants that met them when they went into the Promised Land. If you’ve heard me speak very much, you know what I say: If you’re going into your Promised Land (your purpose, your destiny, what God has for you), and you’re not having any pushback (there are no giants in the land), then you’re not going in the right direction. There will be Jerichos to take, so there will be battles, but it’s going to be exciting. When you’re going the way the Lord has for you, there is that surety inside of you most of the time that, ‘Wow, this is what I am made for. I’m just created to do this.’ And I believe that for you. “All of you are listening to this, and we want to give you hope for your future. Maybe you’ve gone through terrible times of loss, terrible times when you feel like you’ve had setbacks, but I want to say to you: believe God. Believe God that He does have something wonderful for you, no matter how many things have happened to you, how much loss. I think many of us in the past few years have lost family members; there are things that have happened to us that we didn’t want to happen. Sometimes it can make us feel out of control. But this is a year where we are literally starting, not only a new decade, but a new era.” (Cindy Jacobs) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: If you’re facing challenges and pushback from the enemy, rejoice! Lift up your head and praise! The enemy has noticed that God is with you and what you are doing. Ask the Lord to renew His Word to you, to encourage you, and remind you of His love and commitment to you. Tell your Jericho walls to fall! Intercede for the impeachment trial and command it to end positively for America, and fall into the dust of history. A prayer you can pray: God, the enemy hits me so hard sometimes that I literally forget that usually means I am on the right track! Satan hates You and Your people doing Your will. He hates it when he can’t stop what You are doing! He is not going to sit there quietly and let us take territory he wants. So, I will lift up my face and look for You, the One who is my help, my fortress, and my shield. I’m fighting for You and Your purposes and the enemy hates that! He’s after me and he’s after this nation. His attack against President Trump is ridiculous! My situation seems small compared to that. Lord, stop the enemy’s disruption of the governing of this nation. Let our President go! Let our Senators go! Let Your will come to pass now! Let the walls of impeachment fall today! We are done with this. Enough! In the mighty Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Today’s decree: The giants we face simply show us we are headed in the right direction!

In Harm’s Way “Teenagers’ brains are not fully developed until about 25. That gave me a lot of hope when my kids were careening through their teens. Needless to say, they didn’t always make the wisest decisions. Evidence-based research says their bad choices were rooted in science. “As adults, we’re responsible for helping them safely navigate those risky years. Imagine, then, giving your 13-year-old the choice to return to her pimp. That’s precisely what our government is doing. As the California Department of Social Services put it, this is a ‘paradigm shift…allowing for youth to be the curators of their own safety, including how they define safety.’ “Frustrated by their lack of success healing trafficked youth, the government blesses their decision to run back – validating it by calling it ‘harm reduction.’ Perhaps we should consider how pimps defy safety. They torture our children into a mortality rate 40 times higher than the national average; almost 50 percent try to escape through suicide. “It’s time to take our children and these agencies back from the enemy.” (Deena Graves, M3 Transformations) Word Give Him 15 minutes in prayer (by Deena Graves): Contend for our children. The enemy is working relentlessly to wipe out a generation through child sex trafficking, abortion even after birth, gender confusion, and other deceptions and perversions. Praise God for the professionals and first responders who personally sacrifice to work with abused-and-neglected children. Speak over harm-reduction, “Our children may not be sent back into the waiting arms of their all-too-happy pimps; instead, they are supernaturally healed from the mental torment that drives them back!” Declare, “The Government of God sets the policies for these agencies; every demonic structure operating in them is obliterated.” Say over the federal and state agencies that set policies for both governmental and non-governmental agencies, “Your hope is restored. The Lord is sending in teams to transform your work, resurrecting your destinies and the destinies of the children you serve.” Decree that fathers rise up, families are restored, and we no longer need child welfare agencies. A prayer you can pray (by Deena Graves): Father, Thank You for opening our eyes to the atrocities our children are living, not only in the arms of traffickers and buyers, but by the system entrusted with protecting them. We thought we could make people aware of the horrors of human trafficking, pray, and then trust the worldly government to fix it. We honestly thought we were doing our part, Lord. Social justice has been the “sexy” subject, the issue of the moment, so we executed compellingly-named campaigns, deemed a month each year as “awareness” – and left our children in the arms of pimps just as these agencies are doing. We let unverified stats and stirring messages replace our responsibility to resolutely “defend the defenseless, the fatherless and the forgotten, the disenfranchised and the destitute.” We abdicated our “duty to deliver the poor and the powerless; liberate them from the grasp of the wicked” (Psalm 82:3-4, The Passion). Without The Light, the system lost hope, turning to harm reduction; pepper-spraying; emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of our children themselves; and so much more. We declare these strongholds of oppression, perversion, deception, and murder no longer reign in these agencies; the Kingdom Government reigns. We’re going in to take our children back; we are the head and not the tail in decisions concerning our children. We loose angels to prepare the way for our teams with the right knowledge and skills to arm these agencies with Kingdom strategies, the hope of Christ Jesus, and effective treatment plans. We declare the dominion of God in every agency that works with our highly traumatized children. Today’s decree (by Deena Graves): We declare that the generation the enemy has mercilessly tried to wipe out is arising, stepping into its destiny, to crush his head.

20/20 Vision – Word from James Goll “As we enter the year of 2020, clear 20 – 20 vision is vitally important both in the natural and in the spiritual. This requires insight from the Spirit of God and the Word of God revealing the Heart of God. It is neither ‘near-sighted’ nor ‘far-sighted’; nor is it ‘night blindness’. Clarity of sight comes from equal deposits of the Word of God and the Spirit of God, combined with hands-on experience. With clarity of insight from the Word and Spirit, here are 20 prophetic points to pray over and activate in your life this year: 1) We will see the fulfillment of a previous generation’s prophetic Words. 2) We will See a true prophetic Caleb Company arise who give the good news report when the world espouses an evil, negative narrative. 3) We will see crisis intercession arise like in the days of Esther. 4) We will see the restoration of faith as both a gift and a fruit, and as each believer’s portion. 5) We will see an increase of healing and miracles through Presence-saturated worship. 6) We will see old disappointments replaced by fresh vision of a new era. 7) We will see integrity restored as a jewel in the bridal garment. 8) We will see the convergence of character, compassion, and power resulting in the fruit of our works matching our faith. 9) We will see safe places emerge where unchurched Christians will feel at home. 10) We will See an Adoption Movement embraced as a key component in the Pro-Life Movement. 11) We will see a divide in the historic church on the issues of moral purity. 12) We will see governmental leaders calling for Sacred Assemblies to call on the name of the Lord to heal our land. 13) We will see a detoxing of escapism and fear in our End-Time theology. 14) We will see an explosion of creative entrepreneurship releasing new, disruptive technology and inventions resulting in new jobs and diverse income streams. 15) We will see the first fruits of the Great Harvest as international influencers turn to Christ. 16) We will see a shift from the ‘come here’ mentality to the ‘go therefore’ mandate. 17) We will see that Prophetic Evangelism is for the many and not just the few. 18) We will see the beginning of the Third Great Awakening. 19) We will see the beginning of the Great Harvest. 20) We will see the beginning of the Greatest Show on Earth.” (James Goll) “They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, ‘Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.’” (2 Chronicles 20:2; BSB) “The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.” (John 20:20b; BSB) “I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that which was profitable and teaching you publicly and from house to house.” (Acts 20:20; BSB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for the prophets who help us navigate the seasons we are in. Intercede through the points above. Spend time on those the Holy Spirit highlights to touch your heart. Meditate on the three scriptures James says are for this year. Intercede into them or decree them as the Lord leads. A prayer you can pray: Father, we bless the prophets of God, like James Goll. We are thankful that You are still speaking today. While You can speak to every one of us, there are still those with exceptional equipping gifts among us. They help us know what You are doing right now in the earth and in the nation. We bless each one that we know hears Your voice and has blessed us. Thank You for the Word James gives us here. Many prophetic voices are saying the same things, so we know this is You by the witness of so many. As we look through the 20 items listed here, we see that the synergy of the ages is mentioned. You are bringing forth and building on the prophecies of the past, adding to them, and bringing them now into manifestation. You are mixing our words with faith and having us decree and declare, not just petition. You are having us gather as worshippers until Your Presence is manifested, then listen for Your Words and decree them in faith and power. As a result, our theology will be straightened out where it has been crooked. Moral matters will be corrected and we’ll see a pure, holy, God-fearing Bride working great miracles in the earth. You won’t hold back any longer, Lord. It is time for the outpouring of miracles, signs and wonders. It is time for the Third Great Awakening. It is time for the Great Harvest of souls. It is time for the authority of the Believers to be manifested in very real ways. Glory, glory, glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: We will believe the prophets and will see our way forward! Learn more about James Goll here.

On the Sidelines or in the Battle to Win It? Every square inch of this nation belongs to the Lord. The earth is the Lord’s and its fullness. Believe with me that the blood of Jesus is going to break every curse in the soil. Believe for your area of influence, and I’ll believe for mine. His blood will break every curse in the atmosphere and every curse over government. We all have authority over government, because we elect the government that represents us. The Lord is bestowing His power on our nation now like we have not seen in many years. God is going to be seen. Signs and wonders are coming. Miracles are coming. Don’t doubt this. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t just say these things. Say whatever God says. You can believe it! He will do it, if He is saying it! Don’t be one watching on the sidelines to see if it will be true. Think about the Israelites leaving Egypt with Moses. If they thought that way, they would have died in Egypt or remained in slavery. They had to believe Moses’ words, act on them, and move out. God is watching. God has been waiting. God has been looking for a people that He knows will press through. He’s been waiting for that moment where there are enough Believers, filled with faith, to pray out loud until they see their decrees a reality in the earth. These will not doubt or lose heart or stop short. They will push to the finish line. You are that generation. “Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.” (Exodus 4:12; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Repent, if you have been watching and waiting to see what is going to happen, instead of decreeing His purposes in the land. Ask the Lord to be with your mouth and teach you what to pray. Encourage others around you to do the same. Lead your family members and children to decree. Get your church to decree. Get coworkers and friends, neighbors and colleagues to decree the word of God, as well. Say, “Raise up your decreeing army, Lord! Fill our mouths with Your Word, our weapon of warfare against every enemy we face!” Declare, “Every square inch of this nation is the Lord’s, the people, the ground, and the atmosphere! He will have it!” A prayer you can pray: Lord, forgive me when I have gotten in a “wait and see” place. There is no faith in that. Not only does nothing change, but things can go backward when we will not engage the enemy. You have told us that You have put Your sword in our mouths – the Word of God. Show me what to declare to advance Your purposes. What verses are my sword made up of? Let me join with my spouse in united decrees over our marriage, family, provision, and national future. Let me teach my children not just to petition You in prayer, but to decree. I will tell all of those in my arena of influence. My friends and I will join together to change our schools, neighborhoods, and city. Our church will decree Your purposes into those things we are called to, as well as decreeing together what You want for our state and nation. I want to be that confident catalyst, showing the way. Raise up your decreeing army, Lord! Fill our mouths with Your Word, our weapon of warfare against every enemy we face! I say, “Every square inch of this nation is Yours, the people, the ground, and the atmosphere! You will have it!” In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. Today’s decree: I won’t sit on the sidelines, but will speak His decrees until He is glorified in America!
