Don’t Give Up on America! Rather than giving up on America, join me and thousands of others, as we appeal to heaven for a third great awakening, which could result in millions of people saved and a resurrection of the America we love. As we celebrate our birth as a nation, let’s recommit ourselves to seeing a rebirth of truth, integrity, and our godly heritage. Don’t give up on America! “And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up.” (Galatians 6:9; TLB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: As we get ready to celebrate our nation’s birthday tomorrow, let’s not forget among the celebration the great cost that was paid to birth this nation. And, let’s ask God for a rebirth of it in our day and age. Boldly ask God that this nation would birth a Third Great Awakening! We are seeing signs of revival. Press in for more outpouring—saved souls, transformed lives, and eventual governmental change. Recommit yourself to being a promoter of truth, integrity and godly heritage. It will take all of us to turn this ship around! A prayer you can pray: Lord, we come to You today and thank You for this great nation, the United States of America. We acknowledge that this nation was birthed from great bravery in the face of impossible odds in order that Your dream could come to pass. We want to see another wave of that dream—a third Great Awakening! We want to see souls saved and lives changed, hearts altered and a nation born again! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Today’s decree: We will not give up on America! We will pray and act and be participants in God’s dream for our nation!

President Trump Openly Honors God “We are one nation, under God. The story of America’s men and women in uniform is the story of freedom and overcoming oppression. It’s the strong protecting the weak and good defeating evil. There’s a lot of evil out there!  We are awed by your service and your sacrifice. We Americans love our veterans. We love our families, we love our freedom and we love our God. Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago, America has always affirmed that liberty comes from our Creator. Our rights were given by our God and no earthly force can ever take those rights away. Here in America, we do not worship government. We worship God!” (President Trump)1 “O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.” (Isaiah 25:1; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank God for our nation’s strong, God-honoring heritage, all the way back to its foundations. Thank God for a President that will attend a Christian event and make statements publicly that acknowledge and honor Him. Ask Him to bless President Trump. Thank the Lord for all those who have fought for our freedom, since the beginning – men and women who have sacrificed much. Pray that those currently living would be honored regularly for that service. Thank the Father for the liberty He bestows upon us and affirm that we look to Him ultimately for our freedom, as true freedom can only come from Him. A prayer you can pray: God, we thank you for the godly heritage of the United States of America! May we never take for granted the fact that we are one of only a few nations that can trace our lineage back to your direct establishment for Your purposes. We thank you for President Trump. Bestow honor and favor on him, as he publicly honors You without shame. He points the people to You, Jesus, and says, “God is worthy of our worship.” We thank you for those men and women that have secured and protected our freedom and liberty. Make sure they are seen and honored for their sacrifices. Finally, we thank you for that precious freedom, which only You can ultimately give us through Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen. Today’s decree: The Lord will exalt America, because God is being exalted in this nation publicly by our President and those in the highest authority. 1 President Donald J. Trump, Comments at the “4th of July Celebrate Freedom Rally”, Washington D.C., 7/1/17.

God’s Honor Can Shift the National Atmosphere We are going to take the keys to the Kingdom of God and we are going to change the atmosphere over this nation. It may take six months or a year. We don’t care. We are going to break division, strife, and racism off this nation. We are going to see those with pure and humble hearts rise. We are going to see the Supreme Court rise into a righteous group of people that do not legislate, but honor the Constitution and honor God. We are going to see a President who honors God and His Wisdom above his own human intelligence. God, let the atmosphere shift! “The Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.’” (1 Samuel 2:30b; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Commit to pray daily for the United States of America – for division, strife, and racism to end. Go out of your way to be kind to others, especially those you disagree with. Thank the Lord that He exalts and honors the humble and pure of heart. Thank God for Justice Neil Gorsuch and pray for an even greater God-honoring shift in the Supreme Court. Intercede for President Trump to begin to openly honor the Lord! A prayer you can pray: Father, I want to partner with You in prayer in greater measure than I have been. I want to press in, not relax. My friends and I will push in prayer, like it’s time for a baby to be born! Show me how to put action to my prayers until I am able to face the enemies of the Gospel with peace and grace and love, regardless of how they are acting. Let a culture of honor rise up in me and across the Body of Christ, in the Supreme Court, and in our President. As we honor You, we trust that Your Word will be made manifest and You will give great favor to the one that honors You. Then, wee will watch the nation’s atmosphere shift! In Jesus’ wonderful name, amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Will of the Lord is to raise up those who honor Him, so let the honor begin!

Sealing Up the Leaks We need to ask God to expose the leaks in the government, especially in the White House. The moles need to get out. We need to ask Him to remove the political spirit off our nation and give us people with hearts that just want to see the right things done. As the Ekklesia, we can bind the powers of darkness that are trying to stop righteous government. Then, we need to loose God’s government into the nation. We need to change the atmosphere! “But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, evil men who push away the truth from them. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts.” (Romans 1:18-19; TLB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask God to expose lies and leaks wherever they can be found in our government, even at the highest levels. Pray for full exposure of unrighteousness everywhere it can be found. Loose God’s government, righteousness and truth. Ask for angelic forces to invade Washington, D.C. A prayer you can pray: Father, I’m asking You to deal with leaks. Expose truth everywhere. There are lies and leaks that are causing confusion and affecting our leaders’ ability to govern. I’m asking You to divert that. Expose unrighteousness everywhere it exists in government and media. Even if it is in the White House, expose it. Take away the voice of those that are doing what they are doing just because they hate what the president stands for and the change that is happening. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that men and women in high government offices and in the media will embrace the truth and stop pushing it away or leaking out lies!

Dealing With the Wicked Interesting things are happening. More and more, liberal media figures and entertainers who are making sarcastic and inappropriate comments about our President and other conservative situations are being publicly shamed. They are coming under fire by their own side in increasing measure. Conservatives are speaking up. The public has had it. Bosses are firing the loose-lipped without hesitation to keep ratings or business. Truth is just beginning to be honored. Keep praying! “May the True God rise up and show Himself; may those who are united against Him be dispersed, while the people who hate Him run away at the sight of Him. As smoke disappears when it is blown by the wind, may You blow away Your enemies forever. As wax melts in the presence of fire, may the wicked heart melt away in God’s presence.” (Psalm 68:1-2; VOICE) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank God that it is becoming unpopular to attack the President and conservatives, especially if they have been hurt (like Rep. Scalise, when he was shot.) Pray Psalm 68:1-2 in the VOICE version. Pray that those walking in wickedness, right and left, would encounter the Living God and be led to repent. Intercede even more passionately until we see sweeping national moves of repentance. A prayer you can pray: Father, we are asking you to deal with those that have aligned themselves with demonic structures and philosophies. Remove their favor. Do as you said in Psalm 68, “Let God arise and His enemies be scattered! Let those who hate Him flee before Him.” You also said, “As wax melts before the fire and smoke is driven by the wind”, you will deal with them. I’m asking you to melt their wax. I’m asking you to dissipate their influence. I’m asking you to expose their selfish ideals. Expose the lies. And, expose truth wherever it may be found! In Jesus’ Name, amen. Today’s decree: I decree that wicked hearts will melt in repentance in the Presence of the Lord, as He reveals Himself in greater measure!

A Day to Rejoice! There is a time for deep repentance, a time for war, and a time for rejoicing! We have been warring and repenting. Today, let’s rejoice and worship! Days of rejoicing are days to reflect on what the Lord has accomplished. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the generations that followed them built altars of remembrance to the Lord for what He had done. Faith rejoices even before it sees the victory! “And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and daughter…the fatherless, and the widow that are among you, at the place that the Lord your God chooses to make His Name [and His Presence] dwell.” (Deuteronomy 16:11; AMP) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Throw your hands in the air and joyfully thank the Lord that you know He is hearing your prayers! Be specific as you thank Him for answers to the things you’ve been praying for, even though you haven’t seen the answers yet! Go and tell somebody else all that you know the Lord is doing! Tell your family, a neighbor, a stranger, or tell the world on social media! A prayer you can pray: Lord, I rejoice in You today! All of Your promises are “yes and amen”, to me! You are forgiving our sins, healing our nation’s breaches and moving us closer to a great awakening each and every day! I can’t wait to tell my family, friends, neighbors and the whole rest of the world how awesome You are! I can’t wait to see those that have pitted themselves against You begin to turn toward You. In Jesus’ precious Name, amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Lord has heard our prayers and supplications and that He is worthy to be praised!

It’s Okay to be Hated We are headed in the right direction. Let me tell you just one reason that media and the liberals are so angry. In an article a few weeks ago by a secular, not Christian, writer, it was said that this is the most evangelical Christian Cabinet and staff in the White House ever in history. The writer was alarmed by that. Percentage-wise, they believe that 75% of President Trump’s inner circle are evangelical, born-again Christians. There are forces in this nation, spiritual and literal, that hate that. They hate you. They hate everything you stand for. They mock Him on a regular basis, so why would we, our President and his Cabinet members be exempt? “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 10:22; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: These are not days to be fearful or defensive. Repent, if this has been your position. Thank the Lord for the spiritual attack, as it means the enemy is on the run! Thank the Lord for raising up and preparing strong Christian men and women that love Him, so that He can place them in high places for such a time as this. Pray again today for our President, his family, and his Cabinet members, asking for grace to stand firm. A prayer you can pray: Father, forgive me where I have been fearful or defensive as these strange times unfold. I am used to being different as a Believer, but I am not used to being attacked for my faith. I am not used to seeing my President, his family, and his Cabinet members attacked daily with such vitriol. Change my fear to great faith, knowing that Your plan is coming to pass. You have been raising up men and women behind the scenes for many years who are able to stand firm in their positions in these days. I lift them all up in prayer now (use the links above to help you pray.) In the powerful Name of Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: God will grant great grace and favor to those who stand firm in faith in this hour!

How to Tell the Enemy’s Hold is Slipping Away Our founders understood that the God of government needed to be involved in our government, so we’re going to pray for President Trump. We’re going to pray for our government. We’re not going to pray for Republicans or Democrats. We are not into politics. We are into government. Everything you hold dear and believe in is at stake right now. God help us, you need to know that what I’m saying to you is true. You see the ferocity, hatred, and anger that’s happening right now from those that do not want our nation to turn back to biblical ideals. They are more intensely angry than at any other time in this nation’s history. It’s demonically inspired, because the enemy sees his hold slipping. We will pray! “Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You lust for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way.” (James 4:1-3; MSG) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord that our President is listening to God-fearing men and women, which can ultimately help change our nation. Pray for those anger-filled people that are trying to stop God from changing the nation. Pray they would meet the God they are really angry at. Intercede against the character assassination attempts and their effects. Passionately appeal to heaven for the change to continue! A prayer you can pray: Lord, I thank You for the change that You have begun. I thank You for President Trump, who is listening to conservative constitutionalists and Believers who are advising him. I thank You for the change that has begun. We are not naïve enough to think this nation has already turned. We see the warfare that is now taking place. We see the anger. We see those that have entrenched themselves in this nation. We see their distortion of truth. We see their character assassination tactics. We see the attempted coup of sorts—the attempt to steal from us the ability to change this nation. Lord, we appeal to You! We appeal to heaven! You are the God that can do anything! We firmly place our faith in You and ask You to keep moving, keep transforming, keep changing government leaders’ natures until people like President Trump become Your ambassadors on the earth. In Jesus’ name, amen. Today’s decree: I decree that God will transform our nation’s leaders from angry, natural thinking men and women into His ambassadors for righteous government, as we, the Ekklesia, appeal to heaven!

History Speaks – John Locke “And where the body of the people or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven…” 1 The Church is in a battle for religious freedom today, even as at our nation’s foundation. We have an eternal right to appeal to heaven! “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Come before the Lord in humble prayer and make a list before Him of the areas you see where Christians are battling for their freedom in America today. Present this list before the Lord and ask Him to intervene on behalf of His people. Thank the Lord that He has heard your request. Do this regularly. A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, thank you that I am able to come before your throne with boldness knowing that You receive me whenever I come. Lord, there are those in our nation who need your help desperately in this hour. Christians and our beliefs are under attack by those that do not know You. (List those things you know about.) Forgive them, Lord, and move on behalf of Your children. Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Lord hears the cries of His children for mercy and help, and He moves quickly to deliver them! 1 John Locke, The Second Treatise of Civil Government, “Chapter XIV, of Prerogative, Section 168.” 1690

The Beginnings of Prayer in Congress The Constitutional Congress was trying to work through the forming of our government and all the laws and principles we were going to operate under. They couldn’t get it done, because human nature was in the way. Then, one of the most unreligious members of that group, Ben Franklin, got up and said, “How has it happened sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of Lights to illuminate our understanding? In the beginning of the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had many prayers for Divine protection. Our prayers, sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed instances of a superintending Providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And, have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? I have lived, sir, a long time and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings that ‘except the Lord build, they labor in vain that buildeth.’ I firmly believe this. I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel. We shall be divided by our little, partial, local interests, our projects shall be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a byword down to future ages. I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth, prayers imploring the assistance of heaven and its blessings on our deliberations be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service.”1 And they did, and He did, and that is how the custom started of every day in Congress beginning with somebody leading in prayer. “The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.” (Psalm 14:2;NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: May we humble ourselves before the Lord, repent, and seek His face on behalf of our leaders in government who desperately need to seek Him, as well. Read Benjamin Franklin’s speech above out over our government, interceding identificationally as you go. Implore the Father to touch the heart of someone in our national government, our state governments and our local governments, just as He did Benjamin Franklin, to turn the heart of that assembly to seek Him for direction. A prayer you can pray: Father, I humble myself before You, I repent and seek You as an intercessor on behalf of my governmental leaders. (Read Benjamin Franklin’s speech above out over our government, interceding identificationally, as you go.) There has to be a man or woman who is willing to step up and make a speech like Benjamin Franklin did, imploring our modern assemblies to seek You for assistance and lasting impact. They don’t even need to be a strong Believer. They must simply be convinced that they can’t get the job done without humbly seeking You! And, I believe You will meet them at their point of humility, downloading Your plans to them. In Jesus’ Name, amen. Today’s decree: The Lord is looking down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God, so He can pour His wisdom out on them! 1 “Franklin’s Appeal for Prayer at the Constitutional Convention,” https://wallbuilders.com/franklins-appeal-prayer-constitutional-convention/ 12/31/16. 6/23/17.

Holy Spirit Invasion of the Three Branches of Government The leaven of the Kingdom of God will overcome every other force. Our founders, despite what the media, the liberals, and the modern education system try to tell you, understood that. One of the three most frequently quoted people by our founders, after God and the Bible, when historians studied over 15,000 documents, was the Baron de Montesquieu. Montesquieu wrote about God and government. He proposed our model of government, based on three branches. He formed that concept from Isaiah 33:22. He thought that if God governs that way, through a legislative, executive and judicial branch (lawgiver, judge and king), then any smart government on planet earth would be wise to pattern itself after heaven. “For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.” (Isaiah 33:22; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Intercede for our governing leaders and ask God to cause His Kingdom leaven to permeate their whole being, but especially their thinking. Pray that President Trump would receive thoughts from heaven that help him to “drain the swamp” completely, breaking the political spirit’s stranglehold on Washington, D.C. Ask the Lord to transform lives and break political, racial, and religious division off of our nation. Believe it can be! A prayer you can pray: Father, we ask you to give our government leaders Your thoughts. Speak to them from Your Word. Speak into their minds and give them thoughts that come from heaven. Do this for the executive branch, in Congress, and for judges, as well. We are asking You to drain that place of evil. We’re asking You to get that political spirit off our nation! Get it off our nation! Get political division off our nation. Get religious division off our nation. May the leaven of the Kingdom permeate and transform lives. Thank You, Jesus, amen. Today’s decree: “The LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; we look to Him alone to save us!’

The Leaven of the Kingdom of God When you get saved, God’s authority and His Kingdom anointing and blessing starts invading your household. When a nation experiences revival and starts turning back to God, the Bible says that righteousness begins to exalt an entire nation. And, when the righteous rule, the people rejoice! When the unrighteous rule, curses start happening. I’m not teaching a theocracy in the sense that we dictate to people how they have to live. I’m not saying to all other religions, “You can’t function here.” I guarantee you that if you throw the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness in a room, the Kingdom of God will overcome the kingdom of darkness every time! “And He was giving orders to them, saying, ‘Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.’” (Mark 8:15; ESV) “He spoke another parable to them, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened.’” (Matthew 13:33; ESV) “A little leaven leavens a whole lump of dough.” (Galatians 5:9; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Worship the Lord and thank Him for the leaven of the Kingdom that is about to invade your household, your city, and this nation, because you are a Believer in Him! Bring a situation you are facing before the Lord. Boldly call for the Kingdom of God to invade the kingdom of darkness in that situation. Do the same for a city issue. Now stretch your faith for a national one, as well. A prayer you can pray: I worship You, Father! You are great, mighty, and able to deliver! Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, but it is also very near! Thank You that You are revealing a fresh revelation to the Ekklesia—a mystery that it is time for. My personal life needs this leaven of the Kingdom. My family needs this. My business needs this. My city and nation need this! (Start calling for God’s Kingdom to invade the kingdom of darkness manifesting in these areas. Be specific!) In the Name of Jesus, amen. Today’s decree: Kingdom of God, invade the kingdom of darkness like leaven leavens a lump of dough!
