70 Days – Righteousness Exalts a Nation – Day 27 GiveHim15 will be collaborating with Love Ministries in a very special 70-day prayer focus. We are going to take a stand for righteousness in the United States of America from February 9th through Passover, April 19th. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34; NASB) REBUILDING THE WALL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN OUR NATION, STATES, AND TERRITORIES – 52 Day State Prayer Focus: Day 10: South Carolina, May 23, 1788 “Strap your sword to your side, mighty warrior, along with your honor and majesty. In your majesty ride forth for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; and your strong right hand will teach you awesome things. Your arrows are sharpened to penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies. People will fall under you. Your throne, God, exists forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter. (Psalm 45:3-8; ISV) “…clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.” (1 Peter 5:5-6; NIV) “If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:1-11; NASB) “Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.” (I John 3:18; NHEB) Give Him 15 minutes of prayer: Decree the above Scriptures over our nation and the state of South Carolina. 52 Day State Prayer Focus: South Carolina (Named after Charles I and Charles II).

Lord Jesus, strap Your sword to Your side, Mighty Warrior, along with Your honor and majesty. In Your majesty, ride forth for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness throughout our nation and the state of South Carolina. Let Your strong right hand teach us awesome things. Release Your sharpened arrows to penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies in our nation and this state. People will fall under You. Your throne, God, exists forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter. You love justice and hate wickedness. That is why God, even Your God, has anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness. Lord, we declare over this nation and the state of Carolina, we love righteousness and hate wickedness. Let the oil of gladness be released upon us. Father, we acknowledge and come into agreement with Your kingdom plan and purposes for our nation and the state of South Carolina. We humble ourselves before You as nation, and on behalf of the state of South Carolina. We ask you to forgive us in any place we have been prideful or rebellious against You, Your Word and Your righteous plan for America. We ask that you align our nation and South Carolina with Your truth, humility, and righteousness. We call South Carolina into the original intent of her birthright and destiny as ordained by Almighty God. South Carolina, we declare that you walk in the spirit of humility under God’s mighty hand. We declare that you abound in the grace of God. Your due time is upon you, South Carolina. The Lord is calling you to birth the new. The Lord declares over you, “Hold to your prophetic destiny and legislate righteousness on behalf of the land. You are the state that reversed the curse!” We declare the Word of the Lord, “Instead of moving out of time and moving in a way with the enemy to produce chaos, you’re going to move with Me and liberty will come from South Carolina… Let God snap you into place and position as a gatekeeper and doorkeeper” (Chuck Pierce). South Carolina, you carry the power of intercession and breakthrough within you. “You are a battle axe in the hand of the Lord” (Diane Buker). We decree over you that you are “prepared in mind and deed.” South Carolina you will not just love in word only, but in deed and truth. Father, we ask You to reconnect South Carolina to her redemptive roots and enable her to bring forth breakthroughs for our nation. South Carolina, you have a new attitude, a new heart and a new mind to bring a true spirit of unity in our nation. We decree revival, awakening, reformation and transformation to the state of South Carolina, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. The 70 Day Decree: Lord God, we present ourselves unto You a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). We acknowledge and declare that we are filled with the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:11). Your Word tells us that righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34). We stand before You in the land You have given us, and we decree and release the righteousness of Christ into our territories, spheres of influence, our cities, states, and nation in order to bring healing, revival, awakening, and reformation to America. Father, let Your Spirit of righteousness be released and established in us, and in every place in which You have given us jurisdiction. Let Your righteous Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10)! Prepare the soil of this nation and realign us with Your righteousness! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior! He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me, who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.” (2 Samuel 22:47-49; NIV) The Lord has raised up a righteous remnant to legislate heaven on earth in this nation. He has given us this 70-Day decree as a powerful Kingdom Key to unlock His redemptive plan for the United States of America. Let us hold fast to the Sword of His Word and faithfully use the keys that the Lord has given to function as His ekklesia in the land. “Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:16-19; AMPC) Give Him 15 minutes of prayer: Decree 2 Samuel 22:47-49 and Matthew 16:16-19 over America. 52 Day State Prayer Focus: Massachusetts (Indian: “large hill place”).

I say for words have gone up and cries have come up, and I have stored them for a time such as this, but now the outpouring of that which I have stored begins and it will be as keys falling upon what was created to become the new of the future, and I say from those keys coming down, an entire nation will be unlocked. Get ready for the ‘Unlocking of the Rock’ that was established in New England.’” Listen to the Word spoken by Chuck Pierce here.

He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me, who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.” Lord, thank you for establishing Your righteous decrees in our land and rooting out wickedness. Set us free as a nation from all our enemies that seek to destroy the very birthright and destiny that You have stored in the land of America and this state of Massachusetts. We acknowledge and declare over our lives and land, Jesus, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Lord, we thank you that You are building Your church, the Ekklesia, in this nation. The gates of hell will not prevail against us! No demonic stronghold or entity will overpower or block Your righteous decrees for our nation and this state. Let that which is improper and unlawful according to your Word, be bound up in this nation and the state of Massachusetts. Let your righteous decrees and that which is ordained in heaven come forth for this state. Massachusetts, awaken in your birthright and destiny. You are getting a swift shift in the days ahead. You will not abort the plan of God for your life, Massachusetts. Remember the Rock! Acknowledge the goodness and providence of the Great Legislator, and what is written in your preamble, “‘We, therefore, the people of Massachusetts, acknowledging, with grateful hearts, the goodness of the great Legislator of the universe, in affording us, in the course of His providence.’ I hear that old childhood game being played over you, ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’”, the Lord says, “You will not be covered or cut out in this hour, for the Rock is rising up out of the land. What was recorded in the very beginning of your founding will resound throughout this nation once again. You will rise up in your birthright and destiny, Massachusetts, as the Mother of this Nation, for the gates of hell will not prevail against you. Lord, we agree with your words spoken over the “Bay State” and New England. “I say now the unlocking begins in this nation, and it begins here in the place where the rock was established. I say for words have gone up and cries have come up, and I have stored them for a time such as this, but now the outpouring of that which I have stored begins and it will be as keys falling upon what was created to become the new of the future, and I say from those keys coming down, an entire nation will be unlocked. Get ready for the ‘Unlocking of the Rock’ that was established in New England.” Let the Rock be unlocked! In Jesus Name, Amen.

We are going to take a stand for righteousness in the United States of America from February 9th through Passover, April 19th. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34; NASB) REBUILDING THE WALL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN OUR NATION, STATES, AND TERRITORIES – 52 Day State Prayer Focus: Day 6: Georgia, January 2, 1788 The Lord is calling you to gain a passion for intercession to see the manifested plan of God for our nation come to pass. The Lord has a redemptive plan for this nation and each of the 50 states. “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one.” (Ezekiel 22:30-31; NLT) “The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.” (Nehemiah 1:1-3; NIV) Nehemiah was willing to gain a passion for intercession when he heard broken down walls and gates in Jerusalem. For some days he mourned, fasted and prayed before the Lord. God answered Nehemiah’s prayers and gave him favor with the king so that he could answer the call to rebuild and restore the wall. He faced opposition and overcame, because He was a man of prayer who held fast to the Lord His God. “So, the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.” (Nehemiah 6:15-16; NIV) The Lord is seeking gap standers for this nation and this state.

We ask that you align Georgia in Your righteousness. We call Georgia into the original intent of her birthright and destiny as ordained by Almighty God. The Lord declares over you, “Georgia is one of My Gates; a governmental gate.” You are a gatekeeper state authorized to open gates to the Lord and close gates to the enemy. The Lord says you are an open portal – a place of revelation, fresh worship and restoration; a place where healing of racial divisions and strife takes place; where the womb will no longer be hostile to new life (both naturally and spiritually); where new ministries will not just be conceived but brought to full maturity; where sounds of worship will come forth. Take hold of your prophetic destiny and legislate righteousness on behalf of the land. May the godly, three-fold cord of wisdom, justice, and moderation manifest within your borders. Georgia, you are “The Peach State.” Taste and see that the Lord is good. We declare that you are reconnected to your roots bringing governmental breakthroughs that shape our nation in righteousness. Let the redemptive Sound of Heaven come forth in your land. May our King go up before you and break open the way for you, Georgia. Let the Shout of the King be among you! Lord, rebuild Your wall of righteousness around this nation, and restore the gates of this nation and this governmental gateway state of Georgia. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

70 Days – Righteousness Exalts a Nation – Day 21 GiveHim15 will be collaborating with Love Ministries in a very special 70-day prayer focus. We are going to take a stand for righteousness in the United States of America from February 9th through Passover, April 19th. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34; NASB) REBUILDING THE WALL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN OUR NATION, STATES, AND TERRITORIES – 52 Day State Prayer Focus: Day 4: Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787 “Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. (Psalm 33:8-12; NASB) “Our children will also serve Him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done.” (Psalm 22:30-31; NLT) Let’s look at this quote and a letter from Elias Boudinot who was born in the state of Pennsylvania. He served as President of Congress, signed the peace treaty to end the American Revolution, was the first attorney admitted to the US Supreme Court bar, a framer of the Bill of Rights, and was the director of the U. S. Mint. “Let us enter on this important business under the idea that we are Christians on whom the eyes of the world are now turned… Let us earnestly call and beseech Him, for Christ’s sake, to preside in our councils… We can only depend on the all-powerful influence of the Spirit of God, Whose Divine aid and assistance it becomes us as a Christian people most devoutly to implore. Therefore, I move that some minister of the Gospel be requested to attend this Congress every morning . . . in order to open the meeting with prayer.” From a letter to his daughter: “You have been instructed from your childhood in the knowledge of your lost state by nature – the absolute necessity of a change of heart and an entire renovation of soul to the image of Jesus Christ – of salvation through His meritorious righteousness only – and the indispensable necessity of personal holiness without which no man shall see the Lord [Hebrews 12:14]. You are well acquainted that the most perfect and consummate doctrinal knowledge is of no avail without it operates on and sincerely affects the heart, changes the practice, and totally influences the will – and that without the almighty power of the Spirit of God enlightening your mind, subduing your will, and continually drawing you to Himself, you can do nothing. . . . And may the God of your parents (for many generations past) seal instruction to your soul and lead you to Himself through the blood of His too greatly despised Son, who notwithstanding, is still reclaiming the world to God through that blood, not imputing to them their sins. To Him be glory forever!” (Elias Boudinot, The Age of Revelation (Philadelphia: Asbury Dickins, 1801), pp. xii-xiv, from the prefatory remarks to his daughter, Susan, on October 30, 1782) Give Him 15 minutes of prayer: Decree Psalm 33:8-12 and Psalm 22:30-31 over our nation. Pray and decree portions of Elias Boudinot’s quote and letter as directed by Holy Spirit. Pray for Pennsylvania and the nation from their Motto: Virtue, Liberty, and Independence. And from the state’s Familiar Name: The Keystone State. And from the 50 State Tour’s prophetic insight: The First Shall be Last – A Governmental Shift State. Declare and agree with the preamble of the constitution of this state: “We, the people of Pennsylvania, grateful to Almighty God for the blessings of civil and religious liberty, and humbly invoking His guidance …” A prayer you can pray: Father, we acknowledge that You are the Lord of the United States of America. We thank you for our founding fathers who established this nation in Your righteousness. Let all the earth fear the Lord. You nullify the counsel of the nations; You frustrate the plans of the peoples. We declare, “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of Your heart from generation to generation.” Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom You have chosen for Your own inheritance. We are your righteous inheritance standing before you in the land. We declare, “Our children will serve You. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. Your righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything the Lord has done.” We ask for a change of heart and an entire renovation of the soul of this nation through Jesus Christ and by the power of Holy Spirit. Let Your awakening and transformation come to America in such a way that it sincerely affects the heart, changes the practice, and totally influences the will of a nation! Thank you for the righteous legacy of Elias Boudinot and William Penn. Father, we acknowledge and come into agreement with Your kingdom plan and purposes for the state of Pennsylvania. We ask that you align Pennsylvania with Your righteousness. We agree with the words of William Penn, “Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.” We call Pennsylvania to awaken in her birthright and destiny as ordained by Almighty God. Pennsylvania, we acknowledge you as “The Keystone State.” You are the stone at the top of an arch that holds everything together; the block that holds all the other blocks in place. Father, let justice and righteousness flow through this state, overturning injustices and division. Remove the trauma of war, innocent bloodshed, broken covenants, and division from this land. Bring complete healing. Let the blood of Jesus Christ speak over and cleanse this state of all defilement and unrighteousness. We pray for righteous authorities to be established throughout the state. Pennsylvania, your virtue is your ability to liberate and realign this nation spiritually through governmental prayer and declarations. We declare that the three-fold cord of godly virtue, liberty and independence will rise up within this state and shift our nation. Let Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, represent the love of God poured out upon you and this nation, bringing healing and reconciliation. Lord, reconnect, restore and revive Your plan for this state and our nation. We put a demand on the godly inheritance of Pennsylvania to be released and flow throughout our land. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we pray, amen. The 70 Day Decree: Lord God, we present ourselves unto You a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). We acknowledge and declare that we are filled with the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:11). Your Word tells us that righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34). We stand before You in the land You have given us, and we decree and release the righteousness of Christ into our territories, spheres of influence, our cities, states, and nation in order to bring healing, revival, awakening, and reformation to America. Father, let Your Spirit of righteousness be released and established in us, and in every place in which You have given us jurisdiction. Let Your righteous Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10)! Prepare the soil of this nation and realign us with Your righteousness! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me… My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.” (Psalm 71:1-2,15-16; NIV) “Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you? Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you — I, whom you have redeemed. My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.” (Psalm 71:19-24; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes of prayer: Read and pray Psalm 71 over our nation. Declare and agree with the preamble of the constitution of this state: “Through Divine goodness, all people have by nature the rights of worshiping and serving their Creator according to the dictates of their consciences, of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring and protecting reputation and property, and in general of obtaining objects suitable to their condition, without injury by one to another; and as these rights are essential to their welfare, for due exercise thereof, power is inherent in them; and therefore all just authority in the institutions of political society is derived from the people, and established with their consent, to advance their happiness; and they may for this end, as circumstances require, from time to time, alter their Constitution of government.” Pray for those in authority in our nation and this state. Pray over the 7 mountains of society within our nation and this state: Church, Family, Government, Business, Education, Media, Arts/Entertainment.

A prayer you can pray: In you, O Lord, we, the righteous remnant of the United States of America, have taken refuge; let us never be put to shame. Rescue our nation and deliver us in Your righteousness; turn Your ear to this nation of America and save us. Be our Rock of refuge, to which we can always go; give the command to save us, for you are our rock and our fortress. Deliver us in Your righteousness, O God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men. For You have been our hope, O Sovereign Lord, our confidence since our youth. Be not far from us, O God; come quickly, O my God, to help us. May our accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm us be covered with scorn and disgrace. But as for us, your righteous remnant, our hope is in you. We stand on Your word, righteousness exalts a nation. Our mouth will tell of Your righteousness, of your salvation all day long. We will come and proclaim Your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord; We will proclaim Your righteousness, yours alone. Our tongue will tell of Your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm us have been put to shame and confusion. (Psalm 71) Lord, we lift up prayers for all those in authority on the seven mountains of society in our nation and the state of Delaware. Let their hearts be turned unto righteousness. We ask You to remove the ungodly and replace them with righteous rulers. Father, we acknowledge and come into agreement with your kingdom plan and purposes for the state of Delaware. We ask that you plumb line Delaware in your righteousness. We call Delaware into the original intent of her birthright and destiny as ordained by Almighty God. In Jesus’ name.

70 Days – Righteousness Exalts a Nation – Day 17 GiveHim15 will be collaborating with Love Ministries in a very special 70-day prayer focus. We are going to take a stand for righteousness in the United States of America from February 9th through Passover, April 19th. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34; NASB) DANIEL’S INTERCESSION: REPENTANCE FOR A NATION It is so important for us to recognize the times and the seasons of God in our lives. Belief determines behavior. Daniel understood through the prophetic word given through the prophet Jeremiah that the captivity of Israel would last for seventy years. He recognized the timing of the Lord and responded to the call of intercession. Daniel’s intercession became a catalyst for the deliverance of the children of Israel and their restoration to Jerusalem. “In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom— in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So, I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. “I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. “Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame — the men of Judah and people of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you. O Lord, we and our kings, our princes and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you… “Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. O Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill. Our sins and the iniquities of our fathers have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn to all those around us. “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.” ( Daniel 9:1-19; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes of prayer: Ask the Lord to cause you to recognize His times and seasons, so that you will know what to do and how to respond in intercession. Read Daniel’s model prayer of intercession for a nation out loud. Ask the Lord to place a fresh mantle of intercession upon you for this nation, as you stand in the gap to build up His wall of righteousness. A prayer you can pray: “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. “Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame — as a nation because of the sins of innocent bloodshed, idolatry, immorality, broken covenants, blatant rebellion and a total disregard for righteousness. We have been unfaithful to you. O Lord, we, our leaders, and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you as a nation. The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. O Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath from our nation of America. Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. You have given us this 70 Day Decree prayer mandate to see reformation and transformation come to this nation of America. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your righteous remnant. Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the of this nation which bears your Name. We appeal to your great mercy. Oh Lord, listen! Oh Lord, forgive! Oh Lord, hear and act! For your sake, Oh my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name. Remember Your promise, righteousness exalts a nation. We humbly ask these things in Jesus’ name, Amen. The 70 Day Decree: Lord God, we present ourselves unto You a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). We acknowledge and declare that we are filled with the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:11). Your Word tells us that righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34). We stand before You in the land You have given us, and we decree and release the righteousness of Christ into our territories, spheres of influence, our cities, states, and nation in order to bring healing, revival, awakening, and reformation to America. Father, let Your Spirit of righteousness be released and established in us, and in every place in which You have given us jurisdiction. Let Your righteous Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10)! Prepare the soil of this nation and realign us with Your righteousness! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

70 Days – Righteousness Exalts a Nation – Day 16 GiveHim15 will be collaborating with Love Ministries in a very special 70-day prayer focus. We are going to take a stand for righteousness in the United States of America from February 9th through Passover, April 19th. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34; NASB) THE SUPER INTERCESSOR God works within us by the power of Holy Spirit to bring about His God dreams in our lives, and through us into our land. “God can do anything, you know — far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around, but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us.” (Ephesians 3:20; MSG) “…No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never, so much as imagined anything quite like it — What God has arranged for those who love Him. But you’ve seen and heard it because God by His Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you. The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Whoever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God — except that he not only knows what he’s thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way. The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit — God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah’s question, “Is there anyone around who knows God’s Spirit, anyone who knows what He is doing?” has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ’s Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; MSG) “But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” (Jude :20 NIV) Give Him 15 minutes of prayer: Thank the Lord for His ability to work within your life and spheres of influence by the power of Holy Spirit. Ask the Father to open your eyes and heart to the God-possibilities He is able to bring about in your life and this nation by the work of Holy Spirit within you. Ask Holy Spirit to search out the deep things of God and make them known to you – bringing revelation that brings revolution in your life. Thank the Lord that you have the mind of Christ. Ask Holy Spirit to give you prayer strategies, as you stand in your designated spheres of influence and intercede for your city, state, and nation. Acknowledge and yield to Holy Spirit as the Super-Intercessor who partners with you to bring about God’s Kingdom purposes in your life and land. Practice Jude 20. Pray in the Holy Spirit.

We acknowledge and declare that we are filled with the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:11). Your Word tells us that righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34). We stand before You in the land You have given us, and we decree and release the righteousness of Christ into our territories, spheres of influence, our cities, states, and nation in order to bring healing, revival, awakening, and reformation to America. Father, let Your Spirit of righteousness be released and established in us, and in every place in which You have given us jurisdiction. Let Your righteous Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10)! Prepare the soil of this nation and realign us with Your righteousness! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
