Decree That Awakening Has Come This well of signs, wonders and healing evangelism will open now. The streams of evangelical moves of healing evangelism and charismatic moves of healing evangelism will come together now and we will see harvest released like never before. We’ll see the ingathering of souls, for the Lord has said to many, including me, “Stop saying the Awakening is coming. The Awakening has come! It is here!” “Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Learn more about the streams of healing evangelists here and here. Let God stir up a desire in you to walk in this type of move now. He is not pouring out on 1 or 2. He is pouring out on all flesh! Pray for the great ingathering of souls. Pray for everyone you know who does not yet know Jesus as their Savior and Lord and for those who have wandered away. Be specific. Agree with the Holy Spirit and declare that the Awakening has come! A prayer you can pray: Father, as I read the articles above and others that You lead me to, help me to soak in Your history of these moves and grab hold of a vision of my own participation in them! I want to be a healing evangelist as I go about my everyday life. I pray for everyone I know that does not know you yet! Draw them to Yourself, Lord. Give me the humble honor of praying with and for them, and then discipling them. I agree with You that the Awakening has come! In the Jesus’ Name, Amen. Today’s decree: The Great Awakening is not coming…it has come!

The Tabernacle of David For This Generation “Here we are at the most important time of the entire decade. It’s unusual, what is about to happen. Look at somebody and say, ‘You’ve been waiting for this.’ God is connecting heaven and earth in a unique way. He is connecting identity with destinies. The Tabernacle of David is coming into place for this generation.” (Chuck Pierce)1 “’After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name,’ says the Lord, who does these things—things known from long ago.” (Acts 15:16-18; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: David was a man who warred hard and worshipped even harder! We warred hard yesterday. Worship harder today! The Tabernacle of David was one that was open to all to worship in spirit and truth, unlike the tabernacle of Moses that was only open to the priests. Ask the Lord to hasten the pouring out of His Presence among us! Pray that as this generation is filled with His Power and Presence, identities will become clear and destinies will begin to unfold. A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, we thank you for choosing David who was so human and transparent, flawed, yet loved by You and deeply in love with You. He was a worshipper who wanted nothing else except to be in Your Presence. He longed to build a house for You to dwell in. We are Your tabernacle in this generation! Fill us with Your Presence! We pray that You would clarify our identities as we worship You and watch You unfold our destinies before us. May we expand the tent pegs of Your tabernacle in this nation, Lord! In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: The Lord is now building the Tabernacle of David in this Generation! 1 You can learn more about Chuck Pierce here.

Strategy to Overcome “The U.S. strategy for conquering Japan (during World War II) was to capture a succession of weaker Japanese outposts, ‘island-hopping’ toward the Japanese mainland. Slowly, in many bloody battles in the Pacific jungle, at Guadalcanal, the Solomon Islands, the Philippines, and Iwo Jima, the U.S. forces wrested Pacific territory from the Japanese, island by island.”1 “Then Joshua said to his men, ‘Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid. I will show you what the Lord will do to the enemies you will fight in the future.’ Joshua captured all the cities from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza. And he captured all the cities from Goshen to Gibeon. He captured all these cities and their kings on one trip. He did it because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.” (Joshua 10:25 & 41-42; ICB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Spiritual warfare often mimics warfare in the natural realm. Ask the Lord for prayer strategies that chip away at demonic strongholds in the nation and in your state and region bit by bit. Write them down and watch for victories reported in the media. Grab a friend or two and take your prayer strikes out into the community. Pray over places you know of that represent current or historical strongholds. Where was innocent blood shed? Where is there false worship? Where are there strongholds of poverty? Ask the Lord to show you where to go and what to do – He will! Start somewhere and keep this up over time. Don’t worry if others have already done this. If you still see a problem, then go do it again! Reinforce spiritual victories: go to places where God moved in past revivals. Where are the wells? Go “redig” them in intercession. Finally, prayer without action is often not enough to keep the enemy permanently at bay. Ask the Lord if there is a strategy in the natural to effect lasting change. Get filled with faith and do whatever He tells you to do – big or small. A prayer you can pray: Father, teach us to war in the spirit! Show me where there are spiritual strongholds that have been built up by the enemy that you want me to deal with in my generation. Give me a prayer partner or two or three to go to historical sites to pray until the enemy is routed! Send us to the places where You have moved in that past, so we can redig those wells of revival! Fill us with faith and show us how to hold the ground both in prayer and in action. Thank you, Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: We will take ground one step at a time until our God has reversed every curse and we have shifted our nation to glorify Him! 1 The Library of Congress, American Memory, “Today in History.” LibraryOfCongress.com. 12/10/2010.

Enjoying the Presence of God “I enjoy reading about David and his walk with God. One thing I especially like is that David kept it real, sharing with God his most intimate thoughts.  Whether he was joyful, discouraged, lonely, or on top of the world, David talked to the Lord about it. He knew God wanted to be involved in his world, and he wanted to be in God’s.” David loved to be in the Presence of God. 1 “O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Read Psalm 62-64 and notice how real David was with God. Look at all of his emotions! He wasn’t religious in his communication with the Lord; he was real. Ask the Lord to help you be that real with Him if you struggle with this. He loves you! Pour your heart out to the Lord in some area: are you joy-filled, fearful, worried, angry, disillusioned? Tell Him about it. He knows, but He wants you to know He wants to be the safest place in the world to you. Ask the Lord to grant a grace for all Believers to be this real with God, so they can help the lost know they can be this real with Him! Such is the seed of revival. God already knows it, so go ahead and talk to Him about it. A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, I am so glad you had men like David record their relationship with You, so that we could see how real we can be with you. Thank you that David held nothing back, even expressing anger and frustration at you. However, he always ends up worshipping You in the end. I want to be like that—not just a worshipper, but one who can be real with You and hear Your heart and get back on track. Let this become the hallmark of the Church, so we can show the lost how to know You this intimately, also. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: There is a grace to be as real with God as David was and to show the lost how much He wants to know them this deeply, as well! 1 Dutch Sheets, The Pleasure of His Company (Bethany House Publishers, Bloomington, MN, 2014) 169.

Father’s Day “Our Father is not easily offended. He is patient and longsuffering, and His loving kindness is everlasting. But still, I can’t help but wonder if he doesn’t get offended at the way we treat Him. We give Him such little time, expecting Him to listen fast and perform quickly.”1 Our earthly fathers may be imperfect, but this would be a good day to listen carefully and lovingly, if your father is still living. “Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.” (Proverbs 22:23; NIV) “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to the fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.” (Malachi 4:6; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Tell the Lord you are sorry if Your time with Him has been rushed or minimal. Repent and ask Him to help you spend more quality time with Him. Be very honest with Him about your relationship with Him. Let Him minister to you and draw you close. Often, our relationship with our heavenly Father mirrors our relationship with our earthly dads. Today, let God heal any wounds you carry from a distorted image of God that may have come from your relationship with your dad. Forgive your dad, even if he is no longer living. Just write a little note and deal with it. Now, if your dad is living, visit your dad or call him, even if your relationship has been strained. If the two of you talk often, really listen and enjoy the time. Be thankful for what you have—don’t take it for granted! If you rarely talk or aren’t even sure what to talk about, ask a couple of questions and listen carefully. Tell him you love him and that you would like to have a better relationship this coming year. Trust the Lord to touch His heart and change things. If your dad has passed, tell your wife or kids or a friend about some happy memories you had with him. If you are a dad, open up with your children and let them into your heart and thoughts and relationship with your heavenly Father a little more today! A prayer you can pray: Father, I am so thankful for You! You are a wonderful Father – good and kind and loving me no matter what! Forgive me when I am hurried in my conversations with You. Forgive me if I worry and overthink things in my life instead of bringing everything to you! I want to know You better. Deepen my relationship with my dad (if your dad is living). Help me to open up with my own kids and show them how much they mean to me and You mean to me (if you are a dad.) In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: Deepen our love for one another, Father, especially with You and with earthly dads and the next generation today! 1 Dutch Sheets, The Pleasure of His Company (Bethany House Publishers, Bloomington, MN, 2014) 168.

Finding the Old Road Jeremiah 6:16 speaks of Israel losing their way. The prophet told them they must go find the old road. America, also, has lost the old road. God is calling for a generation of passionate warriors to rise up and boldly declare, “We’re going to find the old road. Come hell or high water—or persecution, or mocking, or loss—we’re gonna find the way back to God’s plan and purpose for America.” “Thus says the Lord: ‘Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.’ But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” (Jeremiah 6:16; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Pray that God will show us how to find the way back to His intent for this nation. Tell the Lord how important it is to you to honor Him by participating in prayer and action to restore America to its roots. Repent for any fear, complacency, or doubt and unbelief you have in believing that we can accomplish this goal. Worship Him, because He has already planned that we would! A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, we believe that You had a very specific reason for putting this nation together. You had a reason for the ones you sent here to establish it. You set everything and everyone up just exactly so! Over the last 200 years, we have made a bit of a mess in that we have wandered away from that intent and decided we wanted to rule ourselves. Lord, forgive us and put us back on Your path! We worship You, as You are able to make that happen in a moment. Use us, Lord! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Today’s decree: By His grace we will find the ancient paths and walk in them, recalibrating the nation to line up with God’s plan and purpose!

When Will Enough Be Enough? Our Founding Fathers were God-honoring pioneer patriots with the steel of mind and heart to face perhaps the greatest empire in all of history. Like King David, they asked the question, “Is there not a cause?” and answered it with their very lives. Is Christ’s cause in America important enough to give our lives for? There are now millions of young people in the US who have had their opportunity to know Christ stolen from them by ungodly educators, politicians and judges. Are these young people worth our prayers and passion? How many more of them must die in gangs, school shootings, suicides, overdoses and drunken car accidents before the church of America has the passion to stand up and shout, “Enough!” How many more babies must be murdered in the womb of their mothers? When will enough be enough? “There are six things the Lord hates. There are seven things he cannot stand: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up evil plans, feet that are quick to do evil, a witness who tells lies and a man who causes trouble among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19; ICB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: There is a time when it will take everything in us to shift things forward. We have coasted long enough – time to press in! Are you willing to give your life in passionate intercession and action until we see life honored in America? Ask the Lord to forgive those who have brought the nation down a dark God-less path to this point. Ask Him to set His people on fire to reverse these actions. Pray over the injustices stated above in article and the scripture. Let yourself get passionate as you pray! As you pray, ask the Lord to show you what you can do to be a change-agent in just one of these areas! A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, many gave their lives to establish this nation and free it from tyrannical rulership at its foundations. I am grateful! Forgive those who have brought us to a place where we have wandered far from what this nation was intended to be – ungodly educators, government leaders, politicians and judges. We pray for the young ones who have paid the price of being raised in a society where God is honored less and less. As I pray, please show me, Lord, what I can do to reverse the culture of death we are in and bring honor to Your Name once again in America! Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Today’s decree: Enough is Enough! Let God arise in America and let His enemies be scattered!

Whatever You Do, Do It Well! On June 16, 1775, George Washington was appointed commander in chief of the Continental Army by the Second Continental Congress. That same day, the Congress authorized the creation of the post of chief engineer for the army, in anticipation of upcoming battles with British forces. The engineers’ work building fortifications, surveying terrain, and clearing roads during the war proved so valuable to the Revolutionary forces that the Congress resolved to form a permanent Army Corps of Engineers.1 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its flavor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by people. You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13-16; NET) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Look at how the Army Corps of Engineers came about. The army didn’t just need soldiers, it needed support in practical ways. All of you with practical gifts REJOICE! God made you engineers and architects, scientists and lawyers and administrators! Your gifts are important! Repent if you have thought your practical gifts were of value to God. Repent if you just wanted God to hurry up and put you “in ministry” or on the mission field. NO! You are needed right where you are – all through every arena of influence in America! The Lord would have us be lights in the darkness and salt to make men thirsty. We can’t do that inside the walls of our church buildings. We have to get out among the rest of humanity day by day. Ask the Lord to use all of the gifts He created you with in order to spread His Kingdom message! A prayer you can pray: Father, thank you that You created many of us with very practical gifts. You have a perfect place for us – an important place! Our nation needs our gifts! Society needs our gifts! Our families need our gifts! I worship You with my gift as I go to work today. Make me the brightest light and the saltiest salt. Draw men to God through my life’s work. Forgive me when I have discounted who I am and what I’m doing for a living. I am needed. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: Every gift God put within us has tremendous value and we have a role to play to make our nation great and to expand His Kingdom! 1 The Library of Congress, American Memory, “This Day In History”. Today In History, June 16. 12/10/2010.

Faith to Keep Striking In thinking about 2 Kings 13:18-19, you ask yourself certain questions. Where are we as a nation? Is this passage of scripture a warning for us now? Did we stop interceding too soon? Did we do enough? But, I feel like the Lord is saying to us now, “Just keep striking. Just move past three. Don’t stop. Just keep striking!” One of the Hebrew words for intercession is “pagah,” which means “to strike the mark.” There is a new era of intercession on us where we do not stop until we see the victory! “Then Elisha told the king to take the other arrows and strike the ground with them. The king struck the ground three times, and then stopped. This made Elisha angry, and he said to the king, ‘You should have struck five or six times, and then you would have won complete victory over the Syrians; but now you will defeat them only three times.’” (2 Kings 13:18-19; GNT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Our nation is facing serious issues that government alone cannot resolve. Terrorism is one of these things. We have prayed much, but we still see random acts of terrorism taking place. Keep praying. Don’t give up. Don’t stop. Keep striking. Ask God for the faith to keep praying when the battle seems too big and the stakes seem too high. Gather yourself in love and compassion and keep striking. Battles sometimes get confusing, scary, and hard to sort out emotionally (think of the American Civil War). Ask the Lord for wisdom and discernment and keep on interceding until the smoke starts to lift and you can see your way forward again. Then, keep striking. A prayer you can pray: Jesus, we want to be like You, interceding until we see the victory. We do not want to be those that stop short in this day when You are saying that the arrow of victory is about to fly, if we will not stop striking the ground in intercession. Grant us the grace to keep praying when we can’t see a difference or when we feel weary in well doing. Grant us the faith to keep praying when the battle gets tough and our emotions are torn. Show us how to keep praying our way forward until we see the victory, especially when our current national situation is challenging us. We will keep striking by Your grace! Amen. Today’s decree: We will strike the ground with our arrows of intercession until we see the arrow of victory fly!

A Grace to Refire the Daniel Generation Daniel was fasting for 21 days at age 83! The Lord’s been speaking to me that it’s time for the “Daniel Deployment”. These are those that have gone into retirement and entered the best of their years. We’ve seen a vision of men and women who go on tours to unreached people groups in extravagant places. They don’t go there to be tourists. They’re going there to fast and prayer walk to release the harvest. “And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, just as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old. I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming.” (Joshua 14:10-11; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Pray that the Lord releases grace on a generation of older men and women who are saying, “My best years for the shifting of history are upon me.” Loose the “Daniel Deployment!” Loose an anointing to reach the unreached people groups of the world who have come into this nation—nations within a nation. Ask for grace for fasting in the right seasons to move angels and demons, so that the harvest can be reaped in multitudes. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we call for the “Daniel Deployment!” We call forth the Daniels and Calebs and Abrahams and others of this day who are of retirement age. Refire them, Lord! Give them a special grace and creativity to hear Your voice and go and do things they now have time to do. Grace them with supernatural health and send angels before them. Give them grace to fast and an anointing to set captives free and to mentor and disciple, especially those in this nation from other nations of the earth. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: The “Daniel Deployment” is about to begin!

Terrorism in Orlando “Please join us in praying for the families of those who were murdered by an Islamic terrorist in Orlando. At least 50 people are dead and another 50+ are wounded. I want to caution those who would release a word of condemnation and judgment on the LGBT community. Though we do not agree with their lifestyle, our hearts grieve for the loss of life and those who lost loved ones in this murderous crime. This is a time to pray for the Lord to visit those who are in need. Today is a day of grief for those who died and a day to ask the Lord to comfort those who lost a family member or friend.” Ken Malone “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven…A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.” (Proverbs 3: 1 and 4; NLT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask the Lord to comfort the families and friends of those who lost loved ones in the terrorist action in Orlando, FL, yesterday. Pray that the Lord would supernaturally preserve the lives of those wounded in the attack, many of whom have been hospitalized. Pray for a Holy Ghost wave of revival to sweep into Orlando with thousands being saved as a redemptive act to undo the darkness that has fallen there. Command any other terrorist plots be uncovered now, in Jesus’ name! A prayer you can pray: Lord, send the Comforter to comfort the family members and friends of all of those who lost their lives in the terrorist activity yesterday in Orlando. We grieve with those who mourn today, Lord. We ask that You would be Healer to those who were wounded. Heal them completely and miraculously, Lord, body and soul, and introduce them to Your Son, that their spirit may be saved, transformed and made whole. Deliver them from the effects of the trauma, Lord. Sweep through Orlando with a spirit of revival, Holy Spirit, even as on the day of Pentecost! Amen. Today’s decree: We command all terrorist plots against this nation to be uncovered now in Jesus’ Name!

Finishing the Civil Rights Movement The God of Providence is going to heal our nation from divisions, our strife, our wounds, and from our shedding of innocent blood. What was started in this nation many years ago in the civil rights movement was aborted and never reached its fullness. It will be finished in this season. A people that have felt disenfranchised and that they have no place here will find identity and destiny and will truly be healed. “And yet it is a new Law that I am writing to you. It is truth. It was seen in Christ and it is seen in you also. The darkness is passing away and the true Light shines instead. Whoever says he is in the light but hates his brother is still in darkness.” (1 John 2:8-9; NLV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Identificationally repent on behalf of this nation for its continued racial divide. Pray that the love of God will flow down upon those descendants of slavery who still experience a sense of disenfranchisement, lack of identity and destiny. Pray for the healing of their soul. Worship the Lord that He is completing the work of the Civil Rights movement that was left unfinished in the 1960s. Worship in faith over a healed nation and imagine what that will be like! A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, forgive us as a nation for we continue to walk in racial division. It is no different in the Church than in the world. Forgive us. I pray that You would heal the deep wounds in those who are descended from former slaves who still carry the sorrow, lack of identity and sense of lost destiny. Restore, Lord, restore! I worship You, as You are the only one who is able to heal this, Father, through the precious blood of Jesus. Grant us grace for national racial wholeness and racial reconciliation in the United States of America. Make us one, even as You are one! In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Today’s decree: The work of the Civil Rights Movement will be completed in our generation and America will be healed!
