SUMMER OF RECOVERY: 22 Day Prayer Focus
SUMMER OF RECOVERY:
22 Day Prayer Focus
This summer is proving the Holy Spirit's wisdom to focus our intercession on the gates of our nation. God is moving in the midst of the seeming chaos. We feel led to launch the following prayer focus from July 2 through July 22. During the first 11 days we will seek the Lord for a "Recovery of Apostolic Foundations" at our gates--personally, in our churches and region, and as a nation. The second 11 days we will focus on releasing a "SUMMER OF HARVEST."
Releasing the River in the Northeast
Many of you participated in the "Purim to Passover" prayer focus. You may recall we asked the Lord to release a river of awakening in our land to dislodge the onslaught of evil seeking to entangle us. During this very time period, revival broke out in Lakeland, Florida.
We are expecting the Lord to move with similar strength in the northeastern part of the United States. A few years ago, the Lord showed us that He wanted to release a move of awakening in the south, and a move of awakening in the north. As He joined north and south in awakening, it would have the effect of cracking the nut of demonic resistance over our Capitol region. By this the geographic "east gate" of our nation would experience the restoration of God's glory in our land.
How desperately we need this move of God's Spirit! Throughout the prayer focus I am asking each of you to intercede every day for God to move with awakening and revival specifically from New England down to Virginia. Maine, Vermont and New York are key states, and Washington, DC is a key city. In both NY and VT the Spirit of God spoke to us specifically to decree the release of this river of awakening. Please ask the Lord to continue to move with power!
For Planning and for Prayer
IN the days to come we will be sharing very strategic insight to empower your intercession towards this end. We will be in daily intercession at MIHOP and also onsite in different regions as the Lord leads. IAM leaders Wayne Anderson and Rick Wilson will be among many coming to the metro DC region during this time period. Jolene and I will be ministering in Maine, and Randy Demain will be ministering throughout Vermont. These gatherings will be key to our nation's future--PLEASE PLAN TO JOIN US!
Also during this time, Paul and Cheryl Black, pastors of our home church and good friends of IAM, are ministering in Mozambique with Heidi Baker. Dee Copley will be returning to Peru for more revival meetings. As you can see, this is a very key hour, and what a privilege we have to resource our brothers and sisters before the Throne.
A Vision of Awakening
Let me end this by sharing a token of what we believe is ahead. The Lord moved powerfully during Dee Copley's "Ten Days of Glory," with the presence of God reaching new levels each day. Honor and teamwork paved the way. For Jolene and me, it was a landmark time--not since the Kettle Tour prayer journey have I personally been so deeply impacted by the corporate manifestation of the presence of God.
During intercession one morning, I saw a vision of Jesus laughing with a young girl. She was wearing a gold dress with tossled hair and bare feet. Jesus grabbed her hand, and then gently guided her backwards, baptizing her in a river. When she came up out of the water, she had matured into a fully grown woman--absolutely stunning beauty--in a bridal gown! With a breathtaking smile, she glowed with awe at Jesus, and the sudden maturity He had brought to her life.
A few days later, a young girl began to dance with banners, and a portal literally opened as she moved. As I watched, I suddenly realized this was the same girl I had seen in my vision! Jolene and I shared what I had seen, and then asked her name. It was Hannah!
Recovery of Identity
Hannah... the bride who sought the Lord until God's promise for her life was fully recovered! The Lord is saying that He is bringing His people into the waters of the river of God so that a new maturity and new identity can be released. We are on the resurrection side of the Jordan! And from this place we are being matured from the confinement of the orphan spirit and released into our true identities as His cherished ones--as Sons of God and as the Bride of Christ.
And in these waters there is a recovery of God's promises for each of us. Barrenness is being washed away. WE ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW SEASON OF HARVEST!
Significantly, our friend Pat Hollaran had also seen this child dance. Pat's eyes grew wide--and I dare say a bit moist--as we shared what the Lord had done. Because the night before, he had watched as a similar prophetic drama unfolded before his eyes WHILE HANNAH DANCED. A mighty sentinel angel stepped forward and began to dance with this child. Then Jesus Christ Himself came down from heaven and "cut in" on the dance!
God is moving among our youth. As in the first great awakening, this generation has the full attention of God. AS WE TOGETHER MOVE WITH CHILD-LIKE FAITH, HE IS UNLOCKING PORTALS AND RELEASING THE RIVER OF HIS SPIRIT.
Covenant blessings to each of you as we begin this journey together!
