The God of Second Chances I did not mention Friday night’s Healing Summit in yesterday’s GH15 because the post had to be written and recorded on Thursday before I left for Ohio. It was a powerful time. Just as in the first summit, we prayed for many people, and leaders in churches around the nation did, as well. Testimonies of healing are coming in. And as importantly, we prayed for the release of gifts of healing to be imparted throughout the earth. I will be sharing some of the testimonies, but due to the critical nature of where we are in the election process, today, I want to focus on the nation.  America’s Condition We now have a political party in America that is willing to allow thousands of terrorists, murderers, rapists, thieves, brutal gangs, and poisonous drugs into America in exchange for votes. We have a political party that has “lost” over 300,000 children – one can only imagine the suffering many of them are enduring – in exchange for votes. One of the first things Biden did when taking power four years ago was end Trump’s policy of DNA testing to see if those bringing in children were truly related to them. This party’s lust for power and to see America transformed into a weak, globalist nation is literally insatiable. It is hard to imagine that their collective conscience could have become so seared.  It is also hard to imagine that such a large portion of America’s media would become complicit in such heinous activity. They know it is occurring; the sad truth is that they don’t care about these children, the fentanyl deaths, and the inevitable suffering from the criminal portion of the illegals that have come in. Obviously, their ideologies matter more than the children.  And it is hard to believe millions of Americans choose to look the other way. What has happened to our nation?! I do not hate any of these people; I want to see all of them saved. I do, however, hate what they are doing. A true revival, transforming the hearts of millions of Americans, is necessary to change these things. Having the right people in government is important, but as we know, they cannot transform hearts, and America is sick at a heart level. Government leaders can and must reform America, but will only be able to do so after God revives it, transforming hearts.  This is why we pray for both. We must continue contending for revival; and we must continue to contend for reformation in our government, praying that evil is removed and God-honoring patriots are elected. This upcoming election is crucial beyond words. We would not survive four more years of woke, Marxist, antichrist leadership. Very few people are capable of leading us in the level of reformation needed. Keep praying that they are elected. And certainly, we must pray for an awakening in the church, God’s instrument to provide salt (preservation) and light to the earth. A large percentage of the American church lost its savor, and the light grew dim. And regarding her assignment of being a voice for truth and morality? Well, let’s just say her silence screams, “Lukewarm, irrelevant, and cowardly!” God, however, knows how to restore and revive His people. He is doing so, and is about to rain fire on them – FIRE! Be encouraged, praying Christian. The God who has motivated our prayers is answering them. Many American people are now seeing our fallen condition, making them ripe for revival. Corruption and evil are being exposed in our government, setting the stage for reformation. Many in the church are tired of complacency, compromise, woke leaders, and lack of power, which is creating a hunger for true presence and power. All is ready. Keep praying! And finally, pray for the protection of President Trump. I know in my heart that many – here and abroad – want him dead. God works through our prayers. The prayer that allowed for his protection on two occasions – that we know of – must continue. Pray for Trump, his family, and those around him. Pray that evil plans will be exposed, and that every plan fails.  I had already written this when I heard that on Saturday night, our friend,  Jane Hamon , dreamed four times of assassination attempts!!!! I can assure you that some on the left want Trump destroyed, and some nations want the same, Iran being one of them. Please don’t take these warnings lightly – again pray for the safety of Trump, his family, and those around him – DAILY. Declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper. And pray that he will be drawn into a very close relationship with God – Spirit-filled, Spirit-led, Spirit-anointed, and Spirit-empowered. Pray these things DAILY! And I leave you with a message of hope: “Toward the end of the 19th century, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel awoke one morning to read his own obituary in the local newspaper: ‘Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who died yesterday, devised a way for more people to be killed in a war than ever before, and he died a very rich man.’ “Actually, it was Alfred’s older brother who had died; a reporter had botched the obituary! However, the account had a profound effect on Alfred Nobel. He decided that he wanted to be known for something other than inventing the means for killing people in war, and amassing great wealth in the process. So, he initiated the Nobel Peace Prize, the award for those who foster peace. Nobel said, ‘Every man ought to have the chance to correct his epitaph in midstream and write a new one.’” (1) We are re-writing America’s. Pray with me: Father, we Americans have modeled greatness, and a loss of greatness. We now exemplify weakness, depravity, greed, pride, and so much more. You said, “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches”  (Jeremiah 9:23). We have done all of the above.  And yet, Your mercies are great and endure forever. You are turning our nation, awakening us to our nakedness, and have raised up much intercession to fuel this. We thank You. Continue this, Father, allowing us to write a new epitaph.  We pray for the safety and protection of Trump, his family, and those around him. Stop EVERY plan to take him out. Expose all of those endeavoring to do so.  And give us the leadership we need at this time in history. Motivate people to vote, and to do so based on biblical values. Cause them to see that their actions are writing America’s epitaph.  We ask all of this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that America is re-writing her epitaph to once again read “One Nation Under God.” Click on the link below to watch the full videos. David C.

The Sound of the Anvil A few weeks ago, while browsing in an antique store, I was intrigued by a large, old anvil. I’ve never been interested in anvils, but for some reason, I was fascinated by this one. Later that night, I was reminded of the anvil once again and began to wonder if Holy Spirit was trying to speak to me. I texted my friend, Clay Nash, asking what anvils [prophetically] meant to him, if anything. Clay replied that when he thinks of an anvil, he is reminded of the verse about beating plowshares into swords. Joel 3:10 says,  “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” The following day, we discovered that I wasn’t the only one with an anvil fascination! Our friend, Betty Love, a prophet and pastor in Mississippi, adds to this story: “My daughter, Anna, and I were ministering recently with our friends, Clay and Susan Nash. Just before the beginning of worship, Anna called me over to the keyboard and said, ‘I hear the Lord saying, ‘It’s hammer time!’”  “Then, during the worship, I began to hear [in the spirit] a sound repeated, very loudly and distinctly; this continued throughout the meeting. I asked the Lord what I was hearing, and He said, ‘Anvil! It is the sound of the striking of an anvil.’  “After the service, I told Clay what I had heard. He looked surprised and said, ‘Last night, I received a text from Dutch asking what anvils meant to me. Betty, you need to see what Holy Spirit will reveal to you about this.’  “Throughout the night and into the morning, I continued to hear the sound of the striking of an anvil!  The Origin and Use of Anvils “An anvil is a heavy, usually steel-faced, iron block used in metalworking and blacksmithing. It has a flat top surface where metal objects are hammered and shaped. Anvils have played a crucial role in shaping our world through the forging of weapons, instruments, tools, and many other items for everyday use.  “They have been used symbolically throughout history to represent strength, endurance, perseverance, resilience, stability and a firm foundation. As solid, immovable objects that provide a stable foundation for the work of the blacksmith, anvils represent the capacity to weather challenges and difficulties with unwavering determination and perseverance. They represent the ability to withstand hardship and forge ahead in the face of challenges and are known for their ability to withstand heavy blows without breaking. “Our friend, Matt Coss, a worship leader and teacher, points out that the first anvil was likely used by Tubal-cain, the forger of bronze and iron implements (Genesis 4:22). His brother, Jubal, was the inventor of musical instruments and often called the Father of Music (verse 21). The name Jubal means ‘stream,’ and what a stream he created! His name is also linked to the word ‘jubilee’ (Leviticus 25:10), the Old Testament celebration of restoration that pictured the stream of redemption flowing from Christ. Matt said that Ray Hughs, the great teacher on sound, music and worship, believed the rhythm of Tubal-cain’s anvil and building awoke within Jubal, the cadence and rhythm of music. Fascinating. One thing is certain: the anvil and worship were “brothers!” The Word of the Lord “As I prayed and pondered all of this, I heard the Lord say, ‘I have drawn Dutch to the anvil because I AM forging something new within him and within the Ekklesia. I AM releasing the sound of the striking of the anvil to awaken the prophetic destiny of My Ekklesia, this nation, and the nations. It is the sound of awakening, transformation, and reformation, a clarion call to awaken the worshipers, the watchmen, the warriors, and the reformers in this new era. I am forging and building something new. It’s hammer time! Strike while the iron is hot! “‘I have released the sound of the anvil in your midst to awaken an iron will, a flint-faced determination within you! I AM releasing a “Finishing Anointing” of My strength and resilience, enabling you to remain strong in the face of adversity and persevere to the end! I am charging you to wage a good warfare in keeping with the prophecies that have been spoken about you – individually, corporately, territorially, and generationally! War with your prophetic destiny, decrees, vision, and dreams! Healing, revival, awakening, and reformation are coming to America and the nations of the earth. America shall be saved! Again, you must strike while the Iron is hot! Let the Ekklesia declare: ‘The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet and makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility]’ (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP).  Betty Concludes “The Lord is shaping the destiny of America through a functioning Ekklesia that will open its mouth and release His words, whether through decrees and declarations of His Word, or through worship. He is releasing this sound of the anvil as a sign that He’s bringing awakening, transformation, and reformation into our lives and our land. He is forging something new within His people that will produce strength and victory in this season. They will be people with no quit in them.  “We are going to possess and occupy everything God has given us. The sound of the striking of the anvil is the sound of defeat to the enemy, and a sound of encouragement to the Ekklesia Jesus has built. They will stand, war, and occupy in this season. IT’S HAMMER TIME!”   Pray with me: Father, thank You for this powerful, revelatory sound and sign of the anvil You are releasing. You are bringing awakening, transformation, and reformation to Your Church and our nation! We agree with Your Word, “It is Hammer Time!” Shape us, mold us, forge us, and sharpen us with the hammer of Your Word into the mighty weapons and threshing instruments You have ordained us to be!  Awaken the worshipers! Awaken the watchmen! Awaken the warriors! Awaken the reformers! Ignite us to war spiritually, enforcing the victory of Christ our King! Let the greatest “Jubilee” season that has ever occurred flow from Calvary’s stream into all the earth.  In the name of Jesus, our Jubilee, we pray. Amen.  Our decree: We declare that it is hammer time, and Christ is shaping His Ekklesia into His image, from glory to glory. You can find out more about Betty Love at LoveMinistriesLive.com .

Extraordinary Miracles The Bible speaks of “special” miracles (Acts 19:11) being performed by the hands of Paul at Ephesus. The New American Standard Bible uses the word “extraordinary.” Wuest’s great literal translation says of these miracles , “not the ordinary kind known to the apostles…but uncommon, extraordinary ones.”  One would think every miracle is special, uncommon, and extraordinary. It seems, however, that to God, most miracles are, well, just regular old miracles. Then, on rare occasions, He decides to elevate His game and perform “special” miracles…like He did for Ronald Coyne.  In 1948, Gordan Lindsay started the Voice of Healing magazine to publish testimonies of healing that were occurring throughout America and other nations. He later founded Christ For the Nations Bible Institute, which Tim and Carol, Ceci and I, Greg Hood, and, of course, thousands of others attended. In his book Gifts of the Spirit, Volume 3 , Gordan Lindsay tells Ronald’s story: “In May 1950, the Coyne family moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma. One day in August of that year, while the mother was taking a nap, she was aroused by a cry coming from her son, Ronald, who was down the street a short distance. His brother came in and said Ronald had stuck a wire into his eye. “At first, the mother thought little about it, but the boy continued to cry, and late in the afternoon, she noticed a white spot on the eyeball. The parents took the boy to a doctor and later to one of the best eye specialists in Tulsa, Dr. Otis Lee, at the Springer Clinic. He realized the seriousness of the accident and rushed the boy to St. John’s Hospital. “Surgery was performed in an attempt to save the eye, but during the operation, it was discovered that an abscess had formed and there was no way to drain it. The mother was informed that Ronald might lose the other eye, or he might even lose his life if the infected eyeball were not removed. “During these hours, the mother desperately held on to God, hoping that the eye might not be lost. She would not give her consent to the removal of the eyeball, but finally, her husband gave his permission for the operation to proceed. A plastic eyeball was fitted to take the place of the eye, which was removed. Four days later, Ronald came home. For ten months, sight was totally gone, obviously, in his right eye.  “Shortly after this, he went to a Vacation Bible School, came home with a big smile, and said, ‘Mother, I got saved!’  “About two weeks after Ronald was saved, the family began attending a revival in Sapulpa. Ronald had an infection in his tonsils, so his mother told him to go up and be prayed for. The lady evangelist, Rev. Gillock, prayed for him, and then noticed that something was wrong with his eye. She asked the boy if he believed the Lord could heal his eye. She didn’t know the eyeball had been removed but thought the plastic one she saw was a real eye. When Ronald said he believed he could be healed, she prayed that he could see. And God heard the prayer of faith!  “Ronald began to see objects with his right eye! First, he saw the steps, then the microphone, and then was able to count fingers.  “All were astonished who knew the facts. The parents and others tested him repeatedly. The absolute conclusion was that the boy was seeing! “Soon, the news spread. The local newspapers wrote an article on the miracle. Reporters came from the Tulsa World and the Tulsa Tribune, and these papers carried the story. About this time, the Lord spoke to the mother and told her to ‘go and tell the people.’ Since that time, she has taken Ronald to many meetings, and the demonstration of what God has done has been made to vast audiences. “At the Dallas Voice of Healing Convention in December 1952, Ronald stood before the congregation and showed the people how he was able to see through the plastic eye. I tested the boy a number of times, and there was no doubt in my mind that the boy was able to see; he could do so equally well with the plastic eye in or the plastic eye out. It was, in fact, a continuous miracle! “Ten years later, Ronnie spoke at our 1962 Voice of Healing Convention at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Now a fiery young evangelist, he not only delivered a splendid anointed message, but demonstrated that the miracle still enabled him to see perfectly out of the plastic eye.” (1) The Working of Miracles This is a manifestation of the “working of miracles,” one of the gifts of the Spirit listed in First Corinthians 12:8-10. It often works in conjunction with the “gift of faith,” another of these gifts. We cannot control the operation of these gifts - Holy Spirit does this - but we can certainly ask for them to operate (Acts 4:29-30), and we can discern when He desires to use us in their release (Acts 3:1-10).  I’m not promising you that “extraordinary” miracles of this nature will occur at the Healing Summit tonight in Middletown, Ohio, or in other places joining us online for healing services. I am, however, boldly stating that we are coming into a season in which miracles of this magnitude will occur. And I am certain that people will be healed tonight.  I am also certain that gifts of the spirit will be imparted to many in the body of Christ as we ask for this to occur. These gifts will not just operate tonight, but will continue to manifest in the future.  Let’s ask for both to occur tonight: miracles and a release of the gifts of the Spirit for future ministry.  Pray with me: Father, move by Your Spirit throughout the earth tonight. Heal people in homes, hospitals, churches, and elsewhere. Heal eyes, ears, hearts, and other bodily organs, joints, blood, bones, neurological systems, and more. Remove cancer, tumors, brain diseases and disorders, and many other diseases. Also, we ask that You heal minds, emotions, and relationships. And we ask for special miracles – creative, uncommon, extraordinary miracles.  Release gifts of the Spirit tonight to believers around the world. Holy Spirit, we ask that You would breathe Your nature and gifts into thousands of Christ-followers. Let the restoration we spoke of in yesterday’s post take place so that we may demonstrate the resurrection of Jesus to the world (Acts 4:33). We live to glorify Him.  And in His name, we pray this. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that tonight, the sick will be healed, and believers will be empowered.

Operation Restoration This past Sunday, October 20, my friend Greg Hood was given a significant dream about the Healing Summit  tomorrow night [Oct. 25, 2024] in Middletown, Ohio, and even beyond Friday night. It is too long to share in its entirety, commenting on all of it, so I will point out a few things.  At the beginning of the dream, my brother Tim, Ken Malone, Pat McManus, Clay Nash, Greg, and I – the six individuals ministering at the Summit – were standing in the middle of a small clearing in a hilly woods area. As we stood there, a huge man approached us on a path. We knew he was an angel. The path he was walking was very narrow and somewhat overgrown.  He opened an old wooden gate that closed off the path, which contained a sign reading, “DO NOT ENTER,” and the number 3249. Underneath the numbers, it read “Mulkey’s birthing place.” John Mulkey was a preacher and pastor in the revivals leading to the Second Great Awakening; he was a good friend of Barton Stone, the leader at Cane Ridge. The number 3249 in Strong’s is  yasur, meaning “they that depart.” (1) Mulkey had to depart his denomination to follow the Lord in this movement. The church he pastored has been restored and can be visited today: the Old Mulkey Meeting House, Monroe County, Kentucky. At the time of the dream, Greg knew none of this.  The gate disappeared as the angel approached, and the path became open. The angel walked up to us and told us he was a “Restoration Angel.” He said the path was now open, and he was there to lead us down it. He told us that at the end of the path, an assignment was waiting for us, which was to complete “Operation Restoration.” At the end of the path was a massive opening and a dilapidated log cabin. The angel told us, “There is a very large and diverse toolbox at the door of this dilapidated cabin. You are to remove the tools and give them to those with you.”  The toolbox had a combination lock, so I asked the angel for the combination. He responded, “The combination is 363.” In Strong’s Concordance, 363 is the Greek word  anamimnesko,  which means “remember.” (2)  “Remembering” opened the toolbox.  Inside, the toolbox was divided into several compartments for holding many tools. The tools were wrapped and had bows on them; we knew they were “gifts.” At this time, we looked around and noticed other people standing with us, many of whom we did not yet know. We were instructed to pass out the tools/gifts to those present.  We noticed there was another compartment under the tools. There, we found three old-looking, large, deep vessels. On each vessel were written numbers: the number on the first vessel was 1636, the second vessel’s number was 218, and the third vessel had 605 on it. These numbers represent three significant Greek words in Strong’s Concordance: the first one means “olive oil,” (3)  the second means “anoint,” (4)  and the third, “restoration.” (5) Together, they represent the “anointing oil of restoration!” More specifically and in the context of the dream, they mean: “The oil from Holy Spirit, which anoints us to restore ‘Mulkey’s birthing place.”’ The angel then told us, “Your assignment is to restore this – “Mulkey’s old birthing place.” You will make it come to life again by mixing together the contents of the vessels and applying the mixture to the old logs. Use the tools from the toolbox to apply the mixture to the logs, and they will live again.” The logs, of course, represent the church, the body of Christ.  There was an old well inside the building. We took all three vessels from the toolbox – containing the anointing oil that restores – inside the building and poured them into the well. When we did so, a cloud, fire, and light sprang from the well. Those present to help with “Operation Restoration” then dipped the tools/gifts they had been given into this well. As they did so, the well gave each of them the proper mixture needed for the portion of the building they were to work on.  They then went to the specific part of the building they were assigned to work on and began applying it. The restoration process seemed seamless; everyone knew what to do. The angel then told us, “Go get the wood from the corner of the room and bring it to the well.” As we did, we realized that the wood was an old, dry pulpit! The angel then said, “There’s a stack of letters inside the pulpit; take them out. I will need them to be mailed.” Each letter was already addressed. As we pulled them out, we could hear rattling inside, and the angel explained, “These are seeds of restoration that I will distribute throughout the nation.”  The restoration process of the building was completed. The angel led us back outside the building, and we could see that it was now a lovely, restored log cabin. He told Dutch, “You’re going to have to extend the pillars under the building to raise it higher than it is right now. You must raise it to twenty-two feet in the air. Every pillar will be twenty-two feet.”  The number “22” has always represented Christ’s authority when Holy Spirit gives it to me, pictured by the keys referenced in Isaiah 22:22 and Matthew 16:18-19. This portion of the dream is saying that after this season of restoration is complete, releasing a fresh revival anointing, God is going to increase the level of authority.  As we began lifting the building – in other words, as the authority increased – we heard deafening noises of growling and shouting from the wooded area around us. The angel noticed our concern and said, “Don’t mind all the noise. It’s there to distract you from accomplishing your task. Once the pillars each reach twenty-two feet and the restoration is complete, the “distracting” voices from the woods will cease.” As we completed the task, the voices in the woods did, indeed, stop shouting and growling.  Then the scene shifted, and we were all standing inside the building and looking out the windows. From this new height (now twenty-two feet up), we could see that the large field the cabin was in was the shape of the United States of America.  End of the dream.  I have known that the Healing Summits we are leading are for more than releasing healing to people, as wonderful and important as that is. The instruction to conduct them is an indication of God’s timing, a new season releasing a fresh impartation of Holy Spirit’s anointing and gifts to many in the church. These gifts are tools, tools empowered by the restoration of an old well of revival in our nation; they will be “mailed” to many. Get ready!  And join us tomorrow night  for another step in this assignment.  Pray with me: Father, You are a great architect and builder. You, Your Son, Jesus, along with His partner on earth, the Holy Spirit, are building an Ekklesia the gates of hell will not prevail against. This church has certainly had its growth pains, but Your wisdom and power have kept us advancing. You are now moving us toward the place in time of which You spoke in Scripture, wherein people from every tribe, tongue, and nation will be part of Your family (Revelation 5:9).  The next great birthing season for this campaign will include many signs and wonders. Miracles will convince millions of people that Jesus is, indeed, Your Son and their Savior. We position ourselves for this season and the bestowing of gifts/tools from Holy Spirit that will aid in accomplishing it. We ask You to be part of this tomorrow night. Heal thousands of people around the world, and release gifts/tools to thousands of believers, enabling them to demonstrate the resurrection of Jesus. Open the ancient well of healing. Give individuals the strength to walk away/leave any old wineskin and paradigm that hinders them from moving into this new season. Let Your compassion flow and Your power be released tomorrow night. Release the cloud of glory, the fire of Holy Spirit, and the glorious light of truth from the well. We ask for all of this in the glorious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Our decree:  We decree that the well of the Second Great Awakening is opening, releasing all that is needed to produce another great awakening.

“I Was At The Right Rally” The apathy of many in the American church will prove to have been one of the greatest all-time disgraces - if not THE greatest - in her history. My Faith Votes , quoting from the Christian Post , tells us: “As many as 104 million people of faith, including 32 million self-identified Christians who regularly attend church, are unlikely to vote in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election on November 5 mainly due to  lack of interest , research from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University shows (emphasis mine). The findings of the study released Monday by longtime Evangelical pollster George Barna and his team of researchers (1)  are based on data collected in two related surveys of a national sample of 2,000 U.S. adults during August and September 2024.” (2) My Faith Votes  reports: “Why did so many regular churchgoers indicate that they won’t vote? One reason could be that many churches are failing to urge congregants to steward their God-given civic responsibility. According to Barna, ‘...an estimated five million regular churchgoers would be likely to vote as a result of that simple exhortation.’ [Let that sink in: 5 million!] “‘What a great way for believers and churches to use their platform – not by replacing their spiritual mandate with political emphasis, but by teaching people to live a culturally engaged life based on biblical principles,’ Barna continued. ‘And it’s not only voting for the next president, but also determining who will hold many other federal, state and local offices, and what will happen with numerous referenda.’ When Christians could be the deciding factor in matters of life and death, good and evil, how can we stay home? “While the survey revealed Christians’ complacency, it also showed that many would appreciate instruction from their church on how to think about the issues from a biblical perspective.” (3) And in that last point lies a huge part of the problem. Even though many in the church desire it, many Christian leaders – whether from ignorance, deception, or fear – refuse to instruct their followers on the responsibility of stewardship in the area of government.  Senior Pastor Gary Hamrick of Cornerstone Chapel told the Pray, Vote, Stand Summit : “‘Let me tell you what happens when we are not involved in the political process,’ he said somberly. ‘We open the door for every evil ideology to fill the vacuum. When we decide we’re going to check out, we’re not going to be involved; we’re not going to be politically engaged; all we do is open the door for more of the same evil agenda and ideology. Why is it that so many Christians are sitting out on the sidelines? Why [is there] such political apathy in our world? Because a lot of Christians think that politics is a dirty word that they don’t want to be involved in. “We will leave the world of politics up to the rest of the world,” they would say, and then wonder why every evil has filled the vacuum. If you thought the last 35 years were disturbing, imagine the next 35. …We are one generation away from losing what is valuable and precious and sacred,’ Hamrick warned. “This trend of political indifference and disgust is in spite of the Scripture’s clear teaching that government — like the family and the church — is an institution created and established by God. ‘Why is it that when it comes to the family, people are protective of the family, Christians in particular? Why is it when it comes to the church, Christians in particular want to care for the church and defend the church? But then when it comes to this third institution, the second one that God ordained, [and] all of a sudden people say, “Well, that one doesn’t need my involvement, that one doesn’t need my participation, that one doesn’t need for me to be engaged.”’” (4) In the above paragraph mentioning how many Christians may not vote in the upcoming election, the phrase “due to lack of interest”  leaped out at me. Think about it – “lack of interest.” My Faith Votes  reported on why we should be interested: "Watchdog database Stop the Harm  reported that just under $120 million in medical expenses were submitted to insurance companies for treatments designed to hide a minor’s gender characteristics in the United States between 2019 and 2023. The database, launched by the medical advocacy group “Do No Harm,” reported about 14,000 minors receiving such treatments within the four-year period. About 8,500 minors received hormone blockers, and more than 5,500 minors underwent actual surgeries to hide their gender characteristics, the database reported. (5) “ …14,000 minors... 14,000 young boys’ and girls’ bodies – beautifully designed by their Creator – that have been permanently mutilated. Allowing this - either directly by enacting legislation that protects doctors who perform such procedures and prescribe such medications – or indirectly by remaining silent as this goes on – will forever be a great failure of our nation. “Several of the medical facilities complicit in these ‘gender transitions’ are the nation’s largest children’s hospitals, like the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. These institutions, originally established to heal children, have begun harming children. What’s worse, a report released earlier this year revealed that many doctors have performed procedures on minors or prescribed medications to minors that have not been adequately tested or researched. The same report revealed discussions amongst doctors trying to determine whether a child’s mental illness or disability impairs their ability to give consent – with some doctors arguing it does not. Think about it: doctors are performing life-altering, gender-mutilating surgeries on children too young to fully comprehend what is happening.” (6) The church’s “lack of interest” in this boggles the mind.  I attended a Trump rally on Monday night [Oct. 21], my first. It was initially planned not as a political rally but a private gathering with faith leaders – a time to pray, worship, and hear some comments from President Trump. So, I thought, why not?  Though it did remain a gathering with a strong spiritual emphasis, it was opened to the public and became a political rally, as well. Dr. Ben Carson, a man for whom I have profound respect, shared briefly. He spoke of a recent Kamala Harris rally when a couple of attendees shouted, “Jesus is Lord.” Before mentioning Kamala’s reaction, Dr. Carson referenced Matthew 12:34, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” He pointed out that Harris’ response was immediate, not thought out, straight from the abundance of her heart: “Oh, you’re at the wrong rally,” she said.  When Carson mentioned this Monday night, a chant erupted: “Je-sus! Je-sus! Je-sus!…” I knew I was at the right rally.  And when Franklin Graham – who follows the example of his late father [Dr. Billy Graham], carefully avoiding a political spirit – presented the gospel before President Trump shared, I knew I was at the right rally. He asked those present if they believed in prayer, then he asked us to – in our own words – lift our voices and pray for a minute or so. When the sound of fervent prayer arose loudly over the gathering, followed by Graham’s own heartfelt prayer, I knew I was at the right rally.  And when President Trump said he would stop the disgusting, shameful, unconscionable mutilating of thousands of children, the scarring of them forever and stealing their posterity, I knew I was at the right rally.  There are enough Christians in America to stop this mutilation of children,  if  they were only interested. To the millions of uninterested Christians who don’t intend to vote, and the thousands of uninterested pastors who refuse to teach and motivate them otherwise, I must confess that I will never, ever understand your “lack of interest.” Gary Hamrick, the Cornerstone pastor, cautioned, “If we see the rising tide of evil in our land and we decide to do nothing, we are ceding ground to the enemy, and we are being unfaithful to our calling as ambassadors for Christ.” (7)  Your decision NOT to vote for biblical values IS a vote for their demise. Beware; this self-imposed restriction bears eternal consequences. Pray with me: Father, please forgive the American church for our apathy, which is born of poor theology, deception, and selfishness. Some in the church actually believe You don’t care who is in government, as though decisions to oppose Your Son, destroy children’s lives, and promote evil are acceptable to You. They believe that You, like them, are uninterested. Forgive us for allowing these lies in the church.  Help us to rid the church of this deception in the future, and help us to overcome its fruit in this election. At every level, we ask You to give us a government that welcomes You in its gatherings, and doesn’t smirk when Your name is mentioned. We ask You to favor those who know and honor You, who protect the innocent, who rule righteously. Rid us of corruption and dishonesty in our government. Protect Donald Trump, who is so fiercely hated by the progressives and globalists.  And we will never stop asking for and declaring that powerful revival and reformation are coming to America. Signs, wonders, miracles, and millions of salvations, come!  We ask for and declare all of this as representatives of Christ, in His name alone. Amen.  Our decree: We decree the breaking of apathy off the church in America.   Additionally:   As you make your plan to vote, take advantage of the Voter Hub on   My Faith Votes ’  website.

INTRODUCTION I want to begin today’s post by telling you about an incredible tool to help undecided voters make up their minds, and motivate them to vote. It is the   Million Voices Candidate Fact Sheet . John Graves, who leads this effort, tells us: “Research proves a nonpartisan fact-sheet is the #1 factor to motivate undecided, persuadable, swing voters to go and vote. We have only a few days left for people to share nonpartisan information about candidates. This info is crucial for persuadable voters.”  Their website, MillionVoices.org  is easily navigated. Trust me - if I can do it, it’s easy! They have a short video explaining how to use the guides, which can also be downloaded. From the presidential race, to governor races, to congressional races, you can easily learn where candidates stand on important issues without having to read tons of information. You can even find out if candidates have changed their positions in the last few months. In other words, you’ll be able to tell what has been their long-term position.  This is a tremendous tool to use and share with others. Check it out.  For today’s post, I feel it would be a great encouragement for all of us to be reminded of the “America shall be saved” dream. I first heard the phrase spoken several years ago by Reinhart Bonnke, who said the Lord spoke this very clearly to him. Then, a few years later, the Lord gave this dream to Gina Gholston. Here are Gina’s comments regarding this word, with a few more thoughts added. Be encouraged, and keep the faith. Our title is: Ready, Set, Go The Ekklesia is being called to attention and to their post to release prophetic proclamations that will reconnect this nation with God’s heart and desires. His verdict for America has been determined, and He has remembered His promises. This is not the time for intimidation or retreat. As His governing body, the Ekklesia must stand steadfast with faith and confidence in the Lord, unshaken in our expectation and persuasion that He is faithful to complete the good work that He has begun in this nation. In 2018, I had a very significant dream, which was an announcement from heaven to reveal God’s verdict and His intentions for America. I had no idea at the time that God would use this dream in the prayer movement and beyond. Its message would give the Ekklesia hope and strategy for the future into which we were being ushered. Dutch has shared this dream several times, but no time was quite as powerful as its initial release at the end of the Turnaround Conference held at the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C., in February 2018. This was just two weeks after I had the dream. That conference was actually incorporated into the dream. The gathering consisted of national and international intercessors who had united for the sole purpose of making an appeal to heaven on behalf of the United States of America.  As the intercessors ascended in worship, they accessed the presence of God to hear; then they effectively declared His intentions. God’s response to their fervent appeal was to reveal His determined verdict: America shall be saved.  In the dream, a courier angel emerged from that gathering carrying a large scroll, which contained God’s response. The angel proceeded to the U.S. Capitol building and declared those words before a large crowd, releasing the glory of God to impact the nation with transformation and reformation. “America shall be saved!” It’s not a cute catchphrase; it is a verdict that was determined by God Himself, and it is a promise that will be fulfilled by the God who made it. We must know and be convinced of this as we pray for our nation. We may not know the “hows” and the “whens,” but we must believe this is the will of God for America, which enables us to pray and decree effectively. If we pray from a place of doubt or uncertainty concerning His will, we are not aligning ourselves in agreement with Him, causing us to pray from a wrong perspective and in unbelief. We must pray from the perspective of the determined will of God. Many prayer assignments have been carried out, and many faith declarations have been made since the Lord revealed His verdict through that dream. Our faith agreement has continued, and we press forward with undaunted conviction that what God has promised, He will do. Much has been accomplished, but we’re not finished. We must not relinquish our persistent push in prayer and our consistency in intercession. Heaven is responding to our obedience. God remembers His promises, and not one word or assignment will return to Him without results. He speaks with the intent to perform! Another Encouraging Word Last year, as I was preparing to speak at a conference gathering, I looked up on the wall of my hotel room and noticed a framed black and white photo of a clock tower. The tower resembled the shape of an arrow pointing upward. As I looked at the photo, I was suddenly caught up in the Spirit, and saw a bolt of lightning come out of the sky and strike the clock tower. Immediately, I heard the Lord say to me, “It’s a striking time!”   I was then reminded of a GH15 from 2021 about a dream I had in which the word “strike” was emphasized. In that post, Dutch stated, “The strike represents successful intercession! The Hebrew word for intercession is paga. (1)  Among other things, it means to strike a target. It is used this way in Job 36:32, ‘He covers His hand with the lightning, and commands it to strike the target.’ ”   After re-reading Dutch’s post, the Lord spoke through the “Ready, Set, Go” command given to runners. He said, “The time has come. I am igniting the torch. My runners who have responded to My leading and positioning are being ‘set’ to run with the fire. Listen for the command of the ‘go,’ and do not hesitate to run.   “My runners will be divinely assisted to run with endurance as they carry and release the flames of revival and glory. I am igniting My saturated bundles that are positioned throughout the land. They will run and not grow weary. I am ready to ignite the nation with the fire of My glory.   “Your labor has not been in vain. You have taken ground! It has been a little at a time, but you have  taken ground. In the previous season, I have been uncapping wells and releasing the flammable waters of My Spirit. Those waters have now spread throughout the nation. Now, I have ignited you to ignite the land. Don’t hold back! I have infused you with fire; run with it! I Am releasing you as My fiery arrows, and you are right on point! In the days to come, I will strategically direct and release you into designated targets, and upon impact, the ignition of My glory will be undeniable. These are the days when the fierceness of My might will be revealed.”   Striking time has come! We can’t stop now. We must not succumb to intimidation or weariness in our “well-doing” (Galatians 6:9). We must remember and be fully persuaded of what God has said. We must release our declarations with confidence that they are right on point, and that they will hit the target to release the unveiling of His intended purposes. America shall be saved! This is our promise, and it is our expectation, for the Lord has determined it to be so!   Pray with me: Father, we know and believe Your verdict for America: She shall be saved. That salvation will come as a result of an awakening bringing an awareness of You. As Your Ekklesia, we rise to attention and release our voice in agreement with You, declaring Your verdict and prophetic proclamations. And we do so with the assurance that our obedient intercession is causing movement, and that Your words will strike the target to accomplish that for which You send them. We will not shrink back in intimidation or fear. We stand securely and confidently, with undaunted faith in You. We are unshaken in our expectation and persuasion that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in this nation. We pray this in Jesus’ name and for the greatest harvest in history. Amen! Our decree: We decree that the striking time has come! Our prayers are hitting the mark, and America shall be saved! This is our promise and expectation, for the Lord has determined it to be so! Today’s post was contributed by Gina Gholston. You can find out more about Gina at GinaGholstonMinistries.org .

“October” – Have Things Turned? I shared a dream with you on Friday  that God gave my brother Tim in 2022. It was for then, but it is definitely for now, as well. Dreams and prophetic words are given not just to encourage us but also so we can partner with God to see their fulfillment. This is why their fulfillment is often down the road. The partnering required of us can include prayer, action, and standing in faith. I believe the following dream given to my friend Clay Nash in 2020 is another example of this. It was for then, but it is also for now.  The dream is about Cape Henry, VA, where Robert Hunt and those with him landed in 1607, planted a cross on the beach, and declared that the gospel would go from this land to all the world. It also mentions Rees Howells, an intercessor and founder of the Bible College of Wales. He and his students shouldered a great intercessory burden during World War II of supporting the Allied Forces and warring spiritually against the Nazis. Rees and his intercessors prayed for hours every day, no doubt helping save the world from Hitler’s demonic plans. Here is the dream: “I dreamed the morning of September 9, 2020, that Dutch issued a call for some people to rally near Cape Henry. The group was not large, only eight people. He instructed the team to fast, pray, and consecrate themselves to the Lord. We were to do this before setting foot on the land at Cape Henry.  “As the team obeyed and sought God, dreams were received revealing a wave of awakening being released, sweeping across the nation. Also, a clear strategy was revealed to start a prayer initiative beginning in the first U.S. states that formed our nation, and proceeded to the last.  “Dutch then said we were ready to set foot on the land, at the cross, and see the ‘Well of Oaths’ opened and freed, to flow across America.  “Once we arrived at Cape Henry, some from the Cloud of Witnesses appeared, and Rees Howells stepped forth to pray over us. His prayer said, ‘Let those assigned to break up the fallow ground plow deep, in order that the soil of this nation be prepared for the seeds of righteousness to be sown. This will result in an abundant harvest...a harvest that will come with such abundance and so quickly that the harvester will overtake the sower. And let the preparers of the soil do a quick work so that the sower not delay the harvest.’ “Howells then took off his coat and placed it on Dutch’s shoulders, saying, ‘This is the coat I wore during World War II, and must be worn by the Ekklesia in order to see the Kingdom harvest at hand.’ “Rees then hugged Dutch - like a father would a son - and said, ‘The training is finished, it’s time to go to war...and OCTOBER will see the turning of the war.’ He held up a scroll with a wax seal on it and said, ‘This seal will be broken in OCTOBER, and the words from it will be activated, and will release a holy awe.’” End of dream.  My Thoughts Cape Henry, more than any other place in America, represents God’s Kingdom purpose for her. When Robert Hunt and company stepped ashore and planted the cross on that beach, he prayed/prophesied:  “We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the people within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled. After the prayer, they read the following Bible passage:  “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord’s and he ruleth among the nations,”  (Psalm 22:27-28). There is no doubt that these settlers were entering into a covenant with God. And there is no doubt that God placed the desire in their hearts to do so. This was and is God’s plan and His destiny for America, and it will be restored. The phrase “well of oaths” actually comes from Scripture. It is the literal meaning of the name Beersheba, where Abraham planted a tamarisk evergreen  and called on  Everlasting  God (Genesis 21:33). Many of you have heard me share that in 2007 God told me through a dream that the boxing gloves of “Everlast” and “Evergreen” would have to be worn in order to take out the spiritual giants in our land. Evergreen symbolizes covenant; Everlast is the eternal nature (and a name) of Yahweh - Lord over the past, present, and future. As such, He can cleanse us  of our sinful past, heal us  of our broken past, and secure our future. We must believe this for America.  After Abraham’s passing, in an attempt to harm Isaac, various wells Abraham had dug were filled in by Philistines, including Beersheba, “the well of oaths” (Genesis 26:18). Isaac redug this well of covenant (Evergreen), connecting with the God of yesterday, in order to find what he needed for today and the future (Everlast). He, like his father Abraham, wore both gloves. (This is explained in depth in my book An Appeal To Heaven .) God was saying the same to us (America) in the dream: “You must tap into your past, the covenant your fathers made with Me. In this ‘well of oaths’ you will find the life, the revival, the spiritual harvest and restoration you need. Obviously, this ultimately flows from the Cross, which also was and is so clearly pictured at Cape Henry. Rees Howells represents prayer. Only the power released through prayer can tap into/re-open this well. Howells wrapped his mantle around me - I represented the Ekklesia - and said it was what he wore during WWII, and that we must wear it now in order to produce the GREAT, RAPIDLY APPROACHING harvest God plans to bring.  October Rees’ next words spoke of  training, timing , and a turning : “The training is finished, it’s time to go to war...and OCTOBER will see the turning of the war.” He held up a scroll with a wax seal on it and said, “This seal will be broken in OCTOBER, and the words from it will be activated, and will release a holy awe.” I believe this was fulfilled Saturday, October 12, at the A Million Women gathering in Washington, D.C. We repented and asked for many things, then redug Bearsheba, “the well of oaths,” renewing covenant with the Lord. I feel that the scroll in the dream represents the covenant made by Hunt and company at Cape Henry, and that the war for the re-opening of this covenantal well “turned” in favor of God’s Kingdom on that day. The seal was broken, the words were activated, and will release a holy awe. October. We shall see. Pray with me: Father, thank You for reminding us of this dream. It communicates so much and brings great hope. We have wrapped ourselves in the mantle of intercession and, like Isaac, labored to remove the clutter and debris stopping up the covenant well in our nation. Like Abraham, who wore not only the glove of covenant but of “Everlast,” we believe You are bigger than the failures and sins of our past, wise and powerful enough to give us what You have declared for our future.  We believe that in this month of October the battle turned, great breakthrough occurred, the well was officially re-opened, the seal broken, and our covenant purpose reestablished. Let the power of this now flow to the nation bringing revival, awakening, and reformation. The dream said the harvest it would produce was coming quickly and that it would be great. We ask for this record breaking influx of souls - here in America and around the world.  We bless You, and ask these things in Jesus’ authority/name. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that America’s well of oaths is now open; we are drinking of the covenant flow. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Introduction God often used allegorical pictures in Scripture. Jesus was called a “lamb,” His word was referred to as “seeds,” Holy Spirit as a “dove.” Numerous examples could be given. In 2022, the Lord gave my brother, Tim, a very interesting allegorical word regarding “boomerangs” and “highways.” Holy Spirit reminded Ceci of this as we processed yesterday’s post and some other prophetic words. We felt strongly that He desires to remind us of it.  When we hear a prophetic dream or word from the Lord, our typical response is to believe it is for NOW, and indeed, this is the case for some. However, God also gives us prophetic dreams and words that are His intentions for the future. He gives us an opportunity to come into agreement with His will until it comes to pass. As we will hear, this is the case for today’s post.  This word has clearly been coming to pass in the context of Supreme Court decisions, the deaths of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, whistleblowers, political affiliations changing, and a lot more! And God isn’t finished with this. This word was in a GH15 post on March 21, 2022, entitled “Boomerangs.” We’ll just call this one:  The Boomerangs Are Flying Tim shares: Holy Spirit gave me a dream a couple of weeks ago [2022] where I saw a large division of angels. The angels were wearing breastplates and helmets made of silver. Throughout Scripture, silver represents redemption, truth, and interestingly, the purchasing of a slave’s freedom. In the book of Leviticus, a slave’s freedom was purchased with silver, fifty shekels for a male, and thirty for women (sorry ladies). Interestingly, this sheds light on why Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver. He wasn’t redeeming Himself; He was redeeming His bride. I knew this dream was about truth, freedom, and redemption.   In the dream, angels were throwing something toward various nations, cities, and regions. They were also throwing them toward what appeared to be power stations, electric grids, and refineries. I knew these places represented evil -  there was a gray shadow surrounding them as if they were in a dark cloud. The items the angels were throwing caused freedom to be experienced and truth to be revealed. In the dream, I was trying to see what was being thrown, but could never see them. I awakened, not knowing what the angels had been throwing.   Upon awakening, I began to pray in the Spirit and ask for revelation. Holy Spirit’s response was, “They were throwing boomerangs. You are moving into days of things boomeranging back on My enemies.” A prophetic word was then downloaded to me by Holy Spirit. The Lord says, “A boomerang effect is being caused by My angels upon strategies of darkness, just as My Ekklesia has asked. Evil plots, plans, and schemes of dark government will boomerang back on My enemies. Efforts that were meant to destroy My plans will boomerang on those opposing Me. Plans of destruction will come back upon them. And the King’s redemption shall be seen.  “The Lord of Hosts decrees that in these days angels, in alignment with declarations of the King’s Ekklesia, are activating these boomerang strategies upon goat nations, cities, and governments. Divine reversals are now being released. Release the angels with your decrees, says the Lord. There will be reversals of powers, influence, and authority. Arrogant leaders anointed by hell will experience My supernatural reversals of their plans. Dictators anointed by hell will see their empires reversed. Billionaires anointed by hell to finance iniquity will experience humiliating reversals of their wealth. Their evil, the Lord says, will boomerang on them.  “Those who initiated systems of evil to oppose Me will experience this boomerang. A boomerang-ing effect is proclaimed by Me upon media propaganda systems. Their reversal is planned and in process, says the Lord. A boomerang-ing is declared against humanistic education systems, lawless ideologies, and their underground systems. I see their plans clearly, and a reversal is planned. My angels are deployed to defeat them. Release My angels with your decrees.  “You will see visible, public displays of undeniable reversals. My heirs will rejoice, as what was meant to harm them turns for good. I can, I have, and I will stand for them. I can, I have, I will cause My Ekklesia to prevail. I can, I have, I will anoint history makers. I can, I have, I will anoint new leaders. I can, I have, I will change the course of history. I can, I have, I will pour out My Spirit and shake hell. Reversals are now being released, and hell will not stop this.” There is much that needs to change in our nation, and God keeps promising that He is going to change it. As I pondered this, Holy Spirit reminded me of another vision I received a while back, which I believe is connecting to its divine moment; it also confirms this dream. In this vision, I was traveling an interstate highway named The American Way . I had the sense that it was a well-known, well-traveled highway. This road led to Washington D.C., but it did not continue through it; instead, it ended at a bypass that circled it. All along The American Way were typical, large green signs; they all read the same: “U-turn This Exit.” Interesting. This interstate highway was built to include many U-turn possibilities.  I then heard Holy Spirit say, “ U-turns have been planned and are coming to  the American way . New routes to destinations will now appear, rerouting people through ‘freedom states.’ My highways will be followed to places of reset. My Kingdom government is entering certain states, influencing and reconnecting them to covenants. The covenant resets now entering these freedom states will cause u-turns in the national government.” As I contemplated and prayed about this vision, the Lord said, “U-turns are occurring, and freedom states will produce change in D.C. I am shaking to bring change and reset covenants. Government and policies on Capitol Hill will turn; leaders will flip to My ways. I will turn some of their hearts as I did Saul of Tarsus. Yes, there are some ‘Sauls’ in D.C. and in state capitals; they will become ‘Pauls.’ U-turns are coming to systematic deep-state corruption; leaders in their ranks will flip and stand against illegal shadow government. U-turns are coming to the education system. Systematic indoctrinations of evil will be shaken and destroyed. You will see u-turns at the Supreme Court. U-turns will come to long-standing laws that oppose Mine, and, yes, a Saul will become a Paul at the Supreme Court. [This was released three months before Roe vs Wade was reversed.] “The American Way will turn. Exit ramps of turnaround are in place. I am providing ways to turn around, just as My heirs have requested. This will also cause turnarounds in other nations as covenant roots reconnect. The time has come, and My plan is accelerating. U-turns have now begun; stand for their completion.” Pray with me: Lord, we continue to call forth what You declared in this vision. Thank You for what You have done and are doing. Let this highway of freedom and turnaround roll through the states and around Washington, D.C. “Bypass” the arrogant and those with evil agendas. “Bypass” those who choose not to go Your way. Activate Your plan in “freedom states” throughout our nation. Give us u-turns on “the American Way.”  Shake everything that needs to be shaken. Accelerate the dreams, visions, and plans You have provided for us. We pray that visible u-turns will be seen not only here in America but throughout the world. Turn Sauls into Pauls. We come into agreement with heaven and pray that activities will be changed by Your power.  We declare reversal to the battle schemes of the schemers. Continue to overturn evil governments and demonized dictators. Release angels to throw the boomerangs. Reverse evil plans, plots, and schemes.  And Father, You said You would turn people, states, nations, and governments, even “deep state corruption.” You are merciful and love to redeem. Release the conviction of Holy Spirit to those You referenced. Break strongholds of deception and darkness off them. Remove the veil and cause Your light to break forth. Continue the divine reversals. And for all this, we pray in the authority of Christ. Amen. Our decree: We decree that divine reversals are now being released and will continue.

Introduction You will be very encouraged by the incredible dream Holy Spirit recently gave my brother, Tim. The title is: Anointed For Battle There is an anointing now being poured out upon the true church, the King’s Ekklesia, that is different from what we’ve previously experienced. I believe it is an anointing for a current assignment. As heirs of Christ, we are always anointed with favor to prevail, but Holy Spirit also anoints us for special assignments. This anointing is a supernatural enablement to accomplish God-ordained purposes.  Isaiah 10:27 (KJV) tells us that the anointing destroys the yoke. Although it is commonly stated that the anointing “breaks” the yoke, the true definition is “destroys.” Breaking something implies that it can perhaps be fixed, but God’s anointing absolutely destroys the yoke. I’m sensing a very aggressive anointing on Christ’s church to overcome evil in this current season. The war against Christ’s Kingdom and Ekklesia is real and intensifying. But we are not intimidated! We have everything we need to prevail, overcome, and turn this nation around. Holy Spirit is anointing the Ekklesia for spiritual battle, and to occupy positions and territories. I believe the glorious Ekklesia is rising, just as God’s Word said it would. The Kingdom of God is amping up like I’ve never seen before to accomplish Christ’s purposes on the earth.  A Powerful Dream Holy Spirit gave me a dream that pictured and emphasized what He has been speaking to me. In the dream, I was camping with ancient Israel in the wilderness. It was the night before they were crossing into the Promised Land. Joshua was the leader then, as Moses had already gone on to be with the Lord. I was assisting Joshua and the leaders, serving any needs they had. A council meeting was called, and all the tribal leaders came from around the various camps to meet with Joshua and many military leaders. I listened to their discussions that night, thinking how historic it was and that I couldn’t believe I was witnessing it.  In the opening of the meeting, these leaders rehearsed the promises God had given them – that the land was theirs by promise, but they also had to battle for it in order to occupy it. They also discussed the fact that the land would be given to them incrementally.   As they spoke, one of the leaders said,   “From Father Abraham until this day, our fathers have passed on to us these promises, and I believe it’s time: we must now occupy the land.” Another said, “Yes, it’s been 400 years, and I too believe it’s time.” Someone else said, “I’ve waited for this moment for years, and I too, believe it’s time.” This went on for a few moments; then the discussion turned toward the concerns of the people and what they may face. There was discussion concerning the children and protective details for their care. Then, the military leaders gave a briefing on what their intelligence was reporting, and a captain was assigned to guard against potential counterattacks from the Amorites. This discussion went on for quite some time, and I became aware that I was observing a “war council” in ancient Israel. Toward the end of the meeting, one of the leaders brought up the apprehension some of the people were feeling. After all, it had been 400 years since the promise, plus they had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. At this point in the dream, Joshua spoke for the first time. He said to call the people from their tents so he could address them.  The scene in the dream shifted to Joshua addressing the entire camp. I remember thinking:  this is one of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever heard. He emphasized the need for courage, admitting to the people that when Moses died, he had felt overwhelmed. “But,” he said, “the Lord of Heaven told me to be strong and of good courage. Don’t fear. As I was with Moses, I will be with you. Lead My people into My promise.” He then raised his voice very loudly and said, “I have received divine assurance that we will possess the land. Our God is our Helper, and He will put our enemies underfoot. Set yourself for the inheritance promised. Set yourself for battle. Purify your hearts and remove sin from your life. Separate yourself to the purpose of Almighty God. Sons and daughters of Jehovah, soak your hearts in confident valor, trusting the Lord of hosts. Let a brave heart rise within you.”  He then repeated the words the Lord had given to him, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear. It is time to occupy the promise of your God for yourselves, your fathers, and your children.” A thunderous shout went up from the camp. That was the end of the dream. I obviously knew I had dreamed a very biblical account from the book of Joshua. I believe we are now at a similar time. Holy Spirit was making the point that promises God has made us are now in their moment. It’s time to battle for them and occupy the land. We must take them by spiritual force, as Jesus referred to in Matthew 11:12 (NLT), which says we must forcefully advance, even as violence attacks us. The verse in the NKJV says, “The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”  ‘Take it by force’ is the Greek word harpazō,   which means to seize, to grab hold of with bold determination, aggressively. (1)  There are times when we must use ardent zeal and intense exertion to spiritually seize or lay hold of promises. Holy Spirit is pouring out an anointing for a spiritual battle  that will affect the natural realm.  There’s a lion-like boldness coming upon the church to answer hell’s challenge. Proverbs 28:1(AMP) says the wicked flee when no one pursues them, but the uncompromisingly righteous are as bold as lions.  The remnant warriors of the King must now manifest lion-like hearts. A lion-king will answer any challenge from another “lion” in his territory. His entire attitude changes, and a roar of courage rises from within. Likewise, we must avail ourselves to Holy Spirit’s anointing of boldness and courage as we battle hell for this nation. We are battling principalities and powers, rulers of darkness of this world that have entrenched themselves in positions we should be influencing. We must be fearless warriors, standing for what we know is right and true. We must stand against evil’s intrusion with audacious bravery.  It is important to remember that the Godhead has made great preparations for these times. He will help us remove the demonic agendas promoting evil in our land. He will help us expose and defeat those polluting our nation with wickedness. It’s time to soak in an anointing to battle and possess what God says. It’s time to rise with great confidence and possess our inheritance. It’s time to live in the promises God has made to us.  Pray with me:  Father God, we come boldly before Your throne, doing so in the name above every name, Jesus Christ our King. Lord, break the hold of darkness, break the diabolical structures, and send Your supernatural light. We declare that this is Your nation, and the recent schemes of our government will backfire in historic proportions. In the name of King Jesus, treacherous strategies will backfire, misfire, and boomerang! Expose hidden demonic agendas in the name of Jesus. We declare that principalities and powers of darkness ruling territories will be brought down in the name of Jesus. Bring change and shift things in Jesus’ name. Nothing can confine You.  You are our warring King. Power of God, rise in this nation. Cause the Ekklesia to rise in aggressive authority, anointed with favor to prevail. Give us signs and wonders to confirm Your Word. Show us Your mightiness. Begin to move supernaturally. We know it is time to step into the fulfillment of Your promises. Your Kingdom come; Your will be done in Jesus’ name! Amen! Our decree:   We decree that Holy Spirit is anointing the King’s Ekklesia with boldness to spiritually occupy positions and territories. Let the roar of courage arise! Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim. You can learn more about him at   TimSheets.org . Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Healing Summit 2.0 In just over a week, on October 25 , we will conduct another Healing Summit in Middletown, Ohio. Seats are still available, and you can register at OasisWired.org . We have registrations so people aren’t turned away on that night. And we are pleased that, as before, many churches are planning to join us online.  Hundreds of verified healings occurred during the last gathering, including terminal illnesses, tumors disappearing, and much, much more. The healings occurred not only in Middletown, but many took place in other churches and homes around the country. TESTIMONIES One couple in attendance remained in the balcony during the ministry time, praying for hundreds in the prayer lines below, even though each of them needed healings, as well. They prayed and worshipped the entire two hours we ministered to people. Though the wife felt nothing take place in her body, she discovered that was not the case when she went in for surgery on her kidney a few days later! After prepping her and inserting the anesthesia port, the techs took final pictures of her kidney for the surgeon. Surprisingly, they returned a few minutes later to take a couple more. Finally, they returned and said, “We don’t know what happened, but you no longer need the surgery.” A few days later, since the husband’s pain had disappeared from his knee, he revisited his doctor. He, too, was told he no longer needed surgery, and he had the knee of a 25-year-old!  Another lady was prayed for who had multiple brain tumors and had been told by doctors she would not live until Christmas. But after being re-examined by her doctor, she was told that 10 of the 12 tumors had completely vanished, and the other two were dissolving, now almost completely gone! So many healings occurred! A NEW LEVEL We have a strong conviction that the numbers and scope of the healings will go to another level at the Summit on October 25. We believe as in Acts 19, “notable” miracles will occur. I was reminded by Holy Spirit while writing this that in the January 3 GH15 post (2024: A Hinge of History) , I actually spoke of notable miracles increasing this year, stating that: “Incredible miracles will invade the earth, accompanying the gospel and the preaching of the Word. Amazing signs and wonders will occur in schools, homes, businesses, churches, arenas, bars, hospitals, on campuses, and in the streets. It was in Ephesus that “God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul” (Acts 19:11). Yet this was also the church warned later against a form of godliness without power, and rebuked for leaving their first love. Passion, presence, and power go hand in hand; passion  attracts God’s presence, which releases His power.  Holy Spirit challenged the ekklesia at Ephesus to do what was necessary for restoration. He is offering the same to many believers and churches in 2024. “Noted Greek scholar Rick Renner says of Acts 19:11, ‘Wrought’ in this verse is from the Greek word  poieo, (1) which denotes creativity. Because the word poieo  is used in this context, we know that the miracles taking place in Ephesus were miracles of a creative nature. In fact, this power was so out of the ordinary that the Bible describes it as “special,” which is a translation of the Greek word tugchano .(2) This Greek word means to hit upon, to happen upon, or to fall upon. It implies something unique that overtakes someone or a power that falls on someone as if to take him or her by surprise. “‘Paul literally hit upon, happened upon, or fell into a level of power that was without equal in his experience. He found himself suddenly operating in a realm of miracles that was extraordinary and powerful beyond his wildest expectations. Of course, all miracles are uncommon, but there was something about these miracles in particular that transcended every miracle that Paul had previously experienced during his ministry. From the usage of this Greek word tugchano,  it seems that Paul himself was surprised by the exceptional assortment of miracles that were occurring at his own hands.’ This is the level of power and miracles that I believe will begin in 2024.” MORE THAN A NIGHT OF MIRACLES October 25 will be more than a healing service, however. We are confident Holy Spirit’s plan for these meetings is also to birth and release the coming season of signs and wonders here in America and around the world. We believe gifts of healing and other gifts of the Spirit will be imparted to members of the body of Christ worldwide as thousands pray in agreement, asking for this. We are contending - not just for miracles in periodic services - but for signs and wonders to take place daily, worldwide. This will be part of generating the coming harvest.  Join us in Middletown, if possible. Come believing for miracles, both for yourself - if needed - and for others around the world. If you cannot attend, join us online. And please agree in prayer with us for the birthing of this great healing movement throughout the earth. If you lead a congregation, consider joining us online – intercede for this new season to begin, then pray for those present in your service who need healing. Let’s press in together for this.  HURRICANE RELIEF  Before ending today’s post, I also want to mention the hurricane relief effort taking place. We are distributing to several credible, boots-on-the-ground organizations and churches the thousands of dollars you have donated. It is very moving to see the depth of gratitude from those who so desperately need help. We will not forget these people! And you can still donate at DutchSheets.org  or GiveHim15.com , as the Lord impresses you to do so. We take  no  portion for overhead or administrative expenses - all of the funds go directly to these relief efforts.   Pray with me: Father, You said in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Christ sent His disciples out to heal the sick (Matthew 10), and later told all His followers to “lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”  (Mark 16:18). It is time for we, the church, to stir up this anointing and ask for the gifts of Your Spirit associated with it. We will do so on the 25th, but we begin now by asking You for these gifts. Impart them to many in Your church - not just to those in ministry vocations, but to BELIEVERS! Remind the church that Jesus took lashes to purchase our healing. And motivate us to take action based on Your words, refusing to allow past experiences to weaken our faith or resolve. We are conduits; You supply the power; remind us of these things. And as we come together on October 25, both in person and through livestream, we ask that You heal many. Give us notable, creative miracles. Release a new era of signs, wonders, and miracles, and impart gifts of the Spirit.  And, in this perilous time, keep the church full of faith and fully engaged. We will not allow weariness, fear, or anything else to distract us. We will remain alert and strong.  We pray also for those who are suffering from storms and hurricanes. Give them the resources and help they need. Encourage their hearts; draw them to You.  Lastly, today, we ask You to intervene in America’s upcoming election. Give us government officials who are honest, servant-hearted, and who know You. “Righteousness exalts a nation; sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). Remind Americans of this.  We pray for all of these things in Jesus’ name, amen.  Our decree: We decree that the Lord forgives all our iniquities, and heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:3).

Introduction   Intercessors For America recently released a vision given to one of their state leaders regarding America. It is both sobering and encouraging, speaking of America’s current condition, but also her recovery. The title of the post is: _____________________________________________________________ BATTERED BUT NOT SINKING The Vision  A sailing ship is breaking apart as it sails through an intense storm. Some of the crew are actually tearing the ship apart, trying to destroy it, throwing the pieces into the sea. Soon, thinking the pieces removed were what had been keeping the ship afloat, they jumped overboard, believing the ship would now sink.   Once overboard, the former disloyal crew attempts to lash the floating pieces together, attempting to make a new vessel. This is obviously very difficult to do. As the frustration mounts, “taskmasters” start whipping the “crew” with cords, ropes, and chains.   But the original ship does not sink: its superstructure is intact, and most of its siding remains in place. Once repairs are made, the ship begins sailing much better than before, being lighter in weight and free of the disloyal crew. Its remaining crew is encouraged. They become hopeful, work well together, and have vision and unity. The ship cuts through the billowing waves, heading forward. After a while, the ship emerges from the storm into sunny weather and gently rolling seas. A true course is laid for its destination.   However, some of the crew hear cries of anguish and despair from many of the former crew now behind them in the storm. The ship maintains its course but slows down to lower longboats. Moved by compassion, the longboats row back into the storm, and rescue the former crew, who now want to become loyal. They bring them to the ship while it continues to its destination.   Interpretation by the Recipient  “The ship is America. The storm is the 2024 election and its aftermath. The parts being torn off the ship are elements of our society that are not true to our foundations and godly destiny. The disloyal crew are those who believe that America, as she currently exists, must be destroyed. The loyal crew believes in the godly foundations and destiny of America. The amount of time between the start of the vision and the ship emerging from the storm is unclear. It is long enough for the loyal crew to learn the necessary lessons, but short enough to rescue the repentant among the disloyal crew. The ship’s destination is America’s godly destiny.   “There is hope for America; her structure is strong. Much of her protection through godly leaders, spiritual warriors, and families is still in place. Her godly destiny remains - given by God and supported by the hosts of Heaven.   “But, we must preserve the purposes for which the Lord has apprehended us: neither denying nor despairing at the fierceness of the storm America is in. (The word ‘intense’ in the vision in no way fully conveys the chaos from and force of the storm I saw on and around the ship.)   “We shall not abandon America to those seeking to destroy her. We, as God’s servants, shall unite, take courage, be strengthened by the Spirit, repair our ship, and learn how to sail her forward through the storm.   “This will take time, but the wind of Holy Spirit is already filling our tattered sails, starting to move us forward. We shall stay on the ship, work together, and arrive in a light-filled place, aligning our course to fulfill America’s destiny. And, we shall remember compassion.   “Do not be distracted by the dismantling. Although it will seem to destroy America, the Lord will empower His faithful to rebuild America, restoring her to His design.   “‘There is a time for everything. … a time to tear down and a time to build up.’ (Ecclesiastes 3:1a, 3b; NASB)   “If we are faithful to His purpose, America shall not only survive, but be reformed into His ‘ship’ to the nations.” My Thoughts Obviously, I agree with what is depicted by this vision, or I wouldn’t be posting it. Though satan and his allies have pulled out all the stops to destroy America and her calling, God’s verdict was rendered a few years back: “America shall be saved!” Events like Saturday’s gathering in DC  are part of the Ekklesia’s enforcing the verdict. As Paul instructed his spiritual son, Timothy, we must through faith and obedience “lay hold of” (1 Timothy 6:12) the salvation God provides.  Daniel told us satan tries to change or alter God’s decrees and timing (Daniel 7:25). The verse tells us one of the ways he attempts to do so is by “wearing down the saints of the Most High.”  This is not going to succeed. The determination of those present, and of the Ekklesia around the world on Saturday is steadfast and immovable. The unity was strong, faith was high, humility was clearly demonstrated, and understanding of God’s Word and ways was obvious, as was a knowledge of His destiny for America. As we prayed for “the ship” and asked for her restoration to the Lord and His purposes for her, it was evident He was honoring those prayers, and that we were truly “laying hold.”   Much compassionate prayer was also offered for those who do not know the Lord. We will fulfill this aspect of the above vision also, rescuing all who turn to Christ. After all, proclaiming the good news of Christ’s redemption and Kingdom IS America’s destiny.  In conclusion, I want to mention and provide a link to another article recently released by the Christian Post  and reprinted by IFA (Intercessors For America). This article explains and debunks five of the most often repeated lies against Trump. Though the liberal media and politicians know these assertions are untrue, they, nonetheless, continue to repeat them.  I am not sharing the article to convince you; I realize most of our readers and listeners are informed and don’t believe the lies of the left. But this article will arm you with clear and concise answers to those with whom you speak. Many people have been duped by these untruths and need to hear the truth.  The five debunked lies are: That Trump said white supremacists in Charlottesville  were “very fine people.” That Trump told people to guzzle or inject bleach.   The misconstruing of Trump’s “bloodbath”  comment.  That Trump tear-gassed protestors for a photo-op.   That Trump said he would become a dictator on day one if re-elected.  Here is the link to this   informative article  in the Christian Post . Read it, send it to others, and keep it handy for easy reference when needed. Pray with me: Father, the “ship” of America is most assuredly in a terrible storm. Without a doubt, there are people on board who believe she just needs to be abandoned, and a new and different America should be created. Just as a number of Israelites became confused, fearful, or simply deceived, motivating them to go back to Egypt and the worship of Baal, a number of Americans have decided they don’t want the nation You created.  Their efforts to destroy the “boat” and build a different one will fail; You will frustrate all their plans. You have said the ship called America shall be saved. We believe this, and fully intend to remain on board, steering it towards the next phase of Your destiny for her. Also, we will JOYFULLY welcome those delivered from their deception back onboard, doing everything possible to rescue them. May the awakening awaken many.  And regarding the eight years or more of relentless attacks against Trump - the lies, lawfare, election interference, assassination attempts - we ask You for truth and justice. Expose the lies, convict the criminals, and thwart the efforts of evil. Give us the President/pilot You desire to steer this ship called America. According to Your instructions in Matthew 6:10, functioning as Your voices on earth, we command the release of Your will in this regard.  We ask for all of this in Yeshua’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that America, though battered and torn, is NOT going to sink. She will be repaired and sail to Heaven’s goal.

RESTORING AMERICA’S COVENANT WITH GOD INTRODUCTION It was an honor to serve my friend, Lou Engle, at the A Million Women gathering at the Washington Mall on Saturday. Though there were not a million gathered, I’ve heard estimates ranging from 250,000 to twice that; by noon their website had received 10,000,000 hits. Fifty nations also held companion events. It was truly unprecedented.  Though challenging for people to sit or stand for such a long time in the heat of the day, they remained attentive and engaged. It was inspirational watching them! The words, testimonies, prayers, and decrees were VERY strong; the worship was powerful.  I was asked by Lou to share for a few minutes regarding America renewing covenant with the Lord and lead in prayer to do so. Several people have asked for a copy of what I shared, so I am sharing portions of it on today’s post. FROM THE MILLION WOMEN GATHERING When we state that America has a covenant relationship with God, we are NOT saying the Lord entered into the type of covenant with our nation that He did with Abraham. And we’re certainly not suggesting that it is on the level of the covenant we enjoy with God through Christ. Nor are we implying that it is based on a blood sacrifice of some sort. We are saying that early Pilgrims, settlers, and America’s Founders entered into alliances, agreements, and covenants with God. They did so through prayers, declarations, and written documents - including our founding documents. Our Founding Fathers made sacred, covenantal promises pledging to function under God’s government and care, to serve His purposes, to partner with and honor Him. And most importantly, America’s founding was inspired by God Himself. HE put HIS desire for this country’s birth into the founders’ hearts. America absolutely has covenantal alliances with God… RESTORATION We are asking God to restore America’s covenant/alliance with Him. The word restoration in Scripture is a powerful word. It means “to reconstitute something back to its to its original condition and purpose.” We are asking for a reconstituting of our covenantal alliance and purpose as a nation. AMERICA’S COVENANT WITH GOD That America’s early leaders and Founders desired this type of covenantal relationship with God is undeniable. Here are a few statements/facts that demonstrate this: Robert Hunt planted a Cross on the beach at Cape Henry in 1607 and declared, “We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work, that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled.” After the prayer, he and the company read Psalm 22:27-28:  “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.” The Puritans in 1630 stated in the Mayflower Compact that their voyage was made “for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith.” Their leader and first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop, declared that they had “entered into covenant with God for this work.” He also declared that God “shall make us a praise and glory… a city upon a Hill”  (Matthew 5:14), which has been referenced by no less than 12 U.S. Presidents.  At the time of America’s quest to become a sovereign nation, the colonists openly declared, “We have no king but Jesus.” George Washington stated, “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” Samuel Adams, known as the Father of the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, stated, “The right to freedom is the gift of God Almighty… The rights of the Colonists as Christians may be best understood by reading, and carefully studying, the institutes of the great Lawgiver and head of the Christian Church: which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament.” After signing the Declaration, he declared: “We have this day restored the Sovereign, to whom all men are to be obedient. He reigns in heaven, and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let his kingdom come.” The Liberty Bell,  which rang out at our birth as a nation, states  “Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof.”  (Leviticus 25:10) Founder Patrick Henry stated, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Our sixth U.S. President, John Quincy Adams, declared, “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” America’s Declaration of Independence refers to God four times: as nature’s God, the Creator who gave them their inalienable rights, the Supreme Judge of the world to whom they were appealing, and as the God of Divine Providence.  America’s independence was won under a banner of prayer that read “Appeal to Heaven.” George Washington, president of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, opened the gathering by saying, “…the event is in the hand of God.” When those present at the Convention struggled to agree on aspects of the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin appealed for prayer to ask God for His help. In his request to those present, he referenced God’s “superintending providence,” then stated: “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? Or do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?  “I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that God governs the affairs of men. And 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 the house, they labor in vain that build it.’ I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building, no better than the builders of Babel…  “I, therefore, beg leave to move – that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of heaven, and its blessing 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.” This request was approved, the prayers occurred, and the Constitution was born. And what of the individual states? God or the Divine is mentioned at least once in each of the 50 state constitutions, and nearly 200 times overall.  Our Founders were intentional about their honor of, reliance on, submission to, and partnership with Yahweh and His Son, Jesus Christ! RENEWING COVENANT   (We will make this our prayer and decree today) (many of these are the literal words of our Founding Fathers) Declare with me:  Whereas God is the Creator and rightful Owner of all the earth, including the United States of America; Whereas He oversaw the creation and establishment of the U.S.A. for His purposes, including being “a city on a hill,” a light to other nations, and an “Evangelist to the world”;  Whereas our ancestors covenanted with Him to honor “this most noble work” of partnering with Him “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith”; Whereas we were founded “not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”  Whereas our founding documents refer to Him as  “nature’s God,” “Creator,” “the Sovereign,” “the Supreme Judge,” the God of “Divine Providence,” and “our Lord”; Whereas we are in covenant with God through Jesus Christ, which qualifies us to intercede, and are citizens of the USA, qualifying us to stand as her representatives;  And whereas the USA has broken our agreements, our covenants with Almighty God, but we have repented for this. We now appeal to You, Judge of Heaven and Earth, in the name of Yeshua, to forgive and cleanse our land. We pledge ourselves to You. And we ask for a restoration, a reconstituting of America’s covenantal relationship with You.  We ask You to send a sweeping revival that impacts every area of our society and culture, including our government. And we ask that this revival restores a heart of humility, along with Your holy purpose of evangelizing the nations. May we represent Your Kingdom in every way You intended. We agree with our brother and forefather, Samuel Adams: “From the rising to the setting of the sun, let [Your] kingdom come.” We ask for all of this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
