April 21, 2021 Prayer - Redefine, Realign and Restore

"Father God, let your Ekklesia around this nation and world rise with great fire, passion, and purity. Realign us for a move of Holy Spirit on the earth like we’ve never seen before. Realign us for revival. Realign us to unseat the antichrist agendas and those who represent them, and replace them with the sons and daughters of God - locally, regionally, and nationally. Release Your power into the atmosphere of this nation and transform it. Realign culture and government through Your power. Release angel armies to accelerate Your kingdom. Restore geographical regions and territories to Your defining purpose. Bring new identity and great blessings to the regions.

"Father, accelerate Your grace on Your Ekklesia and validate that Your kingdom is among them. Let Your rule protect them and Your power sustain them. May Your presence fill them and Your glory surround them. We declare we will align and become who we are supposed to be.

"And Father, release miracles of realignment in our nation and in people’s lives throughout the earth. We decree realignment in the destiny of prodigals. Unwind twisted hearts and those who are bound in their souls. Let us see visible miracles and manifestations of Your power. In Jesus’ name. Amen."

We decree that God is redefining, realigning, and restoring His people, His Ekklesia, and our nation!

from Tim Sheets:

“Recently, I have sensed there is a strategy that Holy Spirit wants to emphasize. He is doing something supernaturally that God has planned. The Ekklesia, His body through which He speaks and acts, is here to represent Christ’s base of power on the earth. Seated with Him in His kingdom’s government (as Ephesians 2:6 describes) it arises to affect society, culture, laws, and earth’s government. This is a spiritual kingdom, headquartered in heaven, where Jesus is enthroned to rule and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. His representatives on earth will now function at higher levels of efficiency.

“We occupy the seats with Christ spiritually in heaven’s government, but we can also occupy the seats in the natural governments of the earth. This is a restoration of what He said in Genesis 1 and 2 we are to do as part of the dominion mandate. Holy Spirit is calling some of our sons and daughters to run for seats in government, representing Him without compromising. He is especially grooming the millennials to unseat antichrist rulers. Young Davids are going to replace some Sauls.

“As I was praying into our times,” Tim says, “Holy Spirit said to me, ‘Redefine, Realign and Restore.’ I then began to hear the sound of bones cracking in the spirit realm. I heard the popping of bones and joints coming into place. Upon hearing this, I remembered a story from my childhood.

“My dad, along with local pastors, often conducted healing services. At one of these meetings, a man was pushed into the church in a wheelchair. His body was twisted, misshapen, and slumped to one side. Dad and the other pastors gathered around him and began to pray (see Mark 16: 15-18). As they prayed, I started to hear popping, cracking sounds as the man began to twitch, move and shake. I watched him unwind in his wheelchair as his limbs straightened and his body realigned. I saw what appeared to be a hopeless condition suddenly change. A ‘no way’ became a ‘God way’ as hopelessness realigned.

“After pondering this occurrence, the Lord said to me:

“‘My Ekklesia kingdom hubs will now begin to see miracles of realignment in people’s lives, government, and culture. This will be an era of miraculous realignment. I have planned for My Ekklesia hubs to bring realignment to their regions through outpourings of increased power of Holy Spirit moving upon them and within them. I will realign the twisted, the disjointed, and the misshapen. I will realign government and culture through my power, erupting in My Ekklesia volcanic-like hubs. I will press, I will push, I will pull. I will realign as my Ekklesias activate governing decrees. I am activating angels of alignment to assist the supernatural alignment of regions, states, and nations. Angels of alignment are partnering with the prayers of My Ekklesia to accomplish the order of King Jesus. They are moving in unseen ways, to bring forth in seen ways, realignment with proper purpose, realignment with what I say, realignment with My kingdom’s government and My ways.

“‘For the set time has come for the generation of young reformers to align with remnant reformers of all generations, to reform my purpose and revive My works. Reformers are being formed. Reformers are rising in Holy Spirit power to declare realignment. This will erupt suddenly. I will validate it with explosive energy flowing through the generations of My Ekklesia. There will now come a functioning church in the midst of the disfunction. Multiplied grace is being poured upon it. Bound, twisted souls will unwind. Bound, misshaped hearts will be reshaped, reborn, freed. Twisted destiny will be reformed and aligned with My purpose. Hearts bound in disillusion will awaken and beat with meaning. The blind and the aimless will see with focused vision clear pathways before them. They will be liberated from hell’s bondage as the revival of ingathering now leaps into being.

“‘For the synergized generations, in sync with angel armies, will be soaked in the fresh rains of heaven and will leap forward into great revival. It will accelerate in power, passion, and purity. I will validate it with signs, wonders, and miracles. Notable miracles will leap into your families. Transformation will leap into prodigals. Notable miracles are leaping into your regions. The revival in the womb of My kingdom will leap into being. It’s leaping from those who have been in travail. Leap into your future. Forerunners, run! Run through the doors of opening and into the new era I have planned. Run to align your region with My Word. Generations, run into the outpourings of heaven.

“‘For I am transforming and realigning the territorial domain of My Ekklesia hubs into opportunity zones of My kingdom. The name of their cities in their natural realms will be superseded by a new spirit name of My kingdom’s definition. Deliverance city. Healing city. Miracle city. Resource city. Restoration city. Grace city. Glory city. Mercy city. Revelation city. Resurrection city. Joy city. Compassion city. Wisdom city. Hope city. Redefinition will come to regions rooted with My Ekklesias and I will realign their territories to my defining purpose. I will bring a new identity and great blessings to the regions. The grace on my Ekklesia will now accelerate and it will validate that My kingdom is among them. My rule protects them and My power sustains them. My presence fills them and My glory surrounds them. Those who rule with Me will see their regions realign. They will participate in supernatural realignments that I have planned.’”

Tim says, “Holy Spirit is resetting our way of thinking. We need to think with an authoritative, ruling, reigning, and governmental mindset. He wants us to think spiritually minded thoughts, functioning with wisdom in a natural world.

“While our emphasis is on the nation’s realignment with our God, perhaps you need realignment in your own life today. This word also pertains to you. Souls that are bound and twisted with the lies of the enemy will unwind. Misshaped hearts will be reshaped, reborn, and freed. Twisted destiny will be reformed and aligned with His purpose. Hearts that are bound in disillusionment will awaken and beat with meaning. You will have a focused vision and clear pathways before you. You will see signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.”

Break the Power of the Wicked and Uphold the Righteous

Righteous God,

You are our salvation and stronghold, our deliverer and refuge.  Today we pray that you will break the power of the wicked around us.  Destroy wrongdoers and their ideological offspring; destroy the future of sinners and the corrupt.  Uphold the righteous by your merciful hand and do not forsake your faithful ones.  We pray in the powerful name of Christ, Amen!

"Do not fret because of those who are evil

    or be envious of those who do wrong;

for like the grass they will soon wither,

    like green plants they will soon die away.

    for those who are evil will be destroyed,

    but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

The wicked plot against the righteous

    and gnash their teeth at them;

but the Lord laughs at the wicked,

    for he knows their day is coming.   

The wicked draw the sword

    and bend the bow

to bring down the poor and needy,

    to slay those whose ways are upright.

But their swords will pierce their own hearts,

    and their bows will be broken.

The power of the wicked will be broken,

    but the Lord upholds the righteous.

the wicked will perish:

    They will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;

    the offspring of the wicked will perish.

The Lord will not leave [the righteous] in the power of the wicked.

Sinners will be destroyed;

    there will be no future for the wicked.

"The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;

    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.

The Lord helps them and delivers them;

    he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,

    because they take refuge in him.

Turn from evil and do good;

    then you will dwell in the land forever.

For the Lord loves the just

    and will not forsake his faithful ones.

The righteous will inherit the land

    and dwell in it forever.

Hope in the Lord

    and keep his way.

Consider the blameless, observe the upright;

    a future awaits those who seek peace.

The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,

    and their inheritance will endure forever.

In times of disaster they will not wither;

    in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

The Lord makes firm the steps

    of the one who delights in him;

though he may stumble, he will not fall,

    for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

I was young and now I am old,

    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken

    or their children begging bread.

"Trust in the Lord and do good;

    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;

    trust in him and he will do this:

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,

    your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord

    and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,

    when they carry out their wicked schemes.

The power of the wicked will be broken,

    but the Lord upholds the righteous."

(adapted from Psalm 37 NIV)

April 17, 2021 Prayer - Praise and Protection

 Sovereign Lord,

Who are we, Sovereign Lord, and what are our families, that you have brought us this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of your servants - mere humans! For the sake of your word and according to our will, you have done great things.  How great you are, Sovereign Lord!  There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.  You have established your people as your very own forever and you have become their God.  Sovereign Lord, you are God!  Your covenant is trustworthy and you have promised good things to your servants.  Now be pleased to bless the houses of your servants that they may continue forever in your sight.  Contend, Lord, with those who contend with us; fight against those who fight against us.  Take up shield and armor; arise and come to the aid of your servants and families. May those who seek our lives - physically, mentally, emotionally, or our societal systems, livelihoods, and relationships - be disgraced and put to shame.  May those who plot the ruin of your children be turned back in dismay. May their path be dark and slippery with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.  May all who exalt themselves over your children be clothed with shame and disgrace.  May we who delight in our vindication in your eyes shout for joy and gladness, always saying, "The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servants."  Our tongues will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.   Your Love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.  Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep.  With you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.  Continue your love to those who know you, continue your righteousness to the upright in heart, your servants and families.  In Christ's name we pray, Amen.

April 15, 2021 Prayer - Mountain-Moving God

 Mountain-Moving God,

Your voice roars to the ends of the earth, thundering and resounding as you hold nothing back. You work in marvelous ways and do great things beyond our understanding. Our hearts are grieved because much of this world doesn’t live according to the commandments to love you and love each other.  And much of the world is enslaved to the forces of evl as the enemy of our souls seeks to kill, steal, and destroy.  Yet we know that you desire to give all those you love the abundant life lived in relationship with you through the work of Christ Jesus.  Thank you that your plans stand forever; there is no wisdom, insight or plot that can succeed against your purposes throughout this generation and generations to come.  Thank you for your invitation to each of us to become your children and to glorify you by serving your good Kingdom purposes here on Earth.  Thank you for filling us with Holy Spirit to help us do what you call us to do, and thank you for the gift of prayer, in which we can hear your voice and your plans for our lives. 

Help us to live in a humble posture of prayer, obsessively abiding in Jesus, so we can know what you say about the world around us. Keep our hearts pure as we pray, research, and influence this world for your Kingdom.  Help us be salt and light, boldly sharing your Love and Good News, even as we move forward in faith. Forgive us for our cowardice, meekness, and fear when we have not boldly proclaimed the Good News of Great Joy that you are for this world.  

Go before us to level the wickedness in the “Mountains of Culture.”  Impel your people to boldly step into the culture in the realms of arts & entertainment, business, the Church, education, families, government, and media & social media.  In Jesus’s name we pray that you will break the power of the wicked in those mountains.  Uphold, protect, and bless your people as they work to change the culture of each mountain from evil to Righteousness. Cause revival and reformation to fall on those places of darkness and evil, wickedness and corruption.  Provoke your Word-and-Spirit Jesus-followers to invade places of darkness and spread the Light of your Truth, Wisdom, and Righteousness into those places.  Give us courage to pray in faith for miracles in this culture.  Help us to prayerfully, lovingly, gracefully, and intentionally change these societal mountains of influence so that they are filled with your Righteousness, Truth, Salvation, Wealth, Health, Justice, and Sound Minds.  Help us to “ROAR” in faith; may your Revival, Outpouring, Awakening, and Reformation be poured out in this nation, causing the hearts of men, women, and children to be tuned into your heart. 

We boldly come before you asking for miracles in this day.  We pray in Jesus’s name that you will free your Church from the demonic spirit of fear she has been under and give her boldness and courage to stand firmly on the Word of God.   We pray in Jesus’s name that you will cause the lukewarm Church leaders and congregants to repent and to move in faith to fulfill Jesus’s call to and go and make Word-and-Spirit Jesus-followers.   We pray in Jesus’s name that you will stop the momentum of the enemy and confuse and divide the demonic voices in our society so they cannot work together for evil.  And we pray in Jesus’s name that you will cause Word-and-Spirit Christians to stay in this fight as empowered warriors, believing you, and refusing to yield one iota of faith to doubt and unbelief.  

Thank you that you are at the head of your army, that your forces are beyond number, and that the army that obeys your command is mighty.   Thank you that, even when we face battles and earthy or spiritual foes, when we put our trust in you, you say we will endure.   Even when we are engaged in the battles of this life, remind us that our power comes from you.  When we feel hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, remind us that we are not crushed, in despair, abandoned or destroyed because you, our Lord and God, are with us.  May you, our fountain of hope, fill us to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as we trust in you. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround our lives and the life of this nation with your super-abundance until we radiate with hope and the mountains are turned to righteousness! In the strong name of Christ we pray, AMEN and AMEN!!

“Listen! Listen to the roar of [God’s] voice,

    to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven

    and sends it to the ends of the earth.

    he thunders with his majestic voice.

When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.

    he does great things beyond our understanding.” (Job 37:2-5 NIV)

Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13-16 NASB)

“Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart... But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

April 8, 2021 - Give Him 15 Prayer for Justice

"Father, we are living in very complicated days. Truth seems far from many. Unrighteousness abounds and we are told lies on a continuous basis. We are thankful for Your Holy Spirit living in us, guiding us into all truth.

"Thank you for raising up and placing men and women of conviction in seats of government, especially at our state levels. We need them to uncover and remove corruption. We need them to enact righteous laws. We bless them for taking bold and righteous stands, unafraid of what can happen to them. Protect them from personal attacks on their reputations and families. Bless their states’ economies, which satan and the left is seeking to destroy.

"Lord, please intervene in the tragic mess at our southern border. Send your holy angel armies to watch over the multitude of children being sent to America by their families. Forgive our nation for the government’s encouragement of this. Lord, give strategies to Your people to solve the problems associated with this crisis. We need answers that are beyond our natural knowledge. Save and heal the children that have come. Reunite them with their families. We say, “Grace to this mountain in Jesus’ name.” Amen."
“A lover of justice is our mighty King; he is right in all his ways. He insists on being fair to all, promoting true justice and righteousness” (Psalm 99:3-5)

An Appeal for Justice

We are living in the days the Bible said would come, where evil is called good and good is called evil. In the midst of this, some of our state governors and legislatures are taking action. They are not just acting in defense either, but are getting ahead of the corruption by putting laws in place to stop or minimize some federal actions.

Georgia’s Voter Laws

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed SB202 into law on March 25th and it has created a firestorm. This Election Reform Law features an increase in the early voting period and an option to extend voting hours. It dictates that absentee ballots must be counted by 5 PM the day after elections, and allows the use of drop boxes only in the early voting period.1

But the point in the law that is most at issue is the voter ID requirement. Voters must confirm their identity whether voting in person or requesting a mail-in or absentee ballot. The law states, “In order to confirm the identity of the voter, such form shall require the elector to provide his or her name, date of birth, address as the registered address where the elector wishes the ballot to be mailed, and the number of his or her Georgia driver’s license or identification card issued.”2 You can read the full law here.

Delta Airlines was one of the first to condemn the new law, saying it would cause limitations to voting among the black community. As Fox News host, Tomi Lahren said about this response, “Would that make Delta Airlines racist for requiring a driver’s license or other government issued ID to fly?”3 This is political to the core.

United Airlines has now followed Delta’s lead. Other prominent companies speaking out against the law are Salesforce, Patagonia, Coca-Cola, and Major League Baseball. As Senator Rand Paul tweeted, “Your sports league might be a little too woke if it will freely do business with communists in China and Cuba, but boycotts a U.S. state that wants people to show an ID to vote.” Insanity.

This has caused a wave of economic impact over the issue. In support of the law, Donald Trump has called for the boycott of Coca-Cola, in addition to Delta AIrlines. Some Republican legislators in Georgia have asked for the removal of Coca-Cola products from their offices. In opposition to the law, New Jersey Governor Murphy is seeking to entice Atlanta’s movie industry to relocate to his state.4

But the largest current economic effect could come from MLB’s decision to move the All-Star game from Atlanta to Coors Field in Denver, CO. The Atlanta Braves Organization said MLB’s decision “only hurts business, employees, and fans in Georgia.”5

There are reportedly a number of other conservative states looking to enact similar laws, so this battle is far from over. These states are trying to get ahead of potential Executive Orders or any legislation Congress might try to enact on election reform.

Arizona’s Recount

The battle over election integrity in Arizona has never ended. While the 2020 election results in Arizona may be “settled” in D.C. and the media, they have never been settled in that state. Republican State Senators have pressed ahead and are requiring an audit of Maricopa County’s results. “They have hired four firms to audit election results and recount all 2.1 million ballots cast.”6 The county did everything they could to stop this audit from occurring. The recounts will include all races, including the presidential race.

It is deemed necessary by the AZ Senate, “to bring election integrity to the election process,” according to Senate President Karen Fann. She continued, “As Board Chair (Jack) Sellers and County Recorder (Stephen) Richer wrote in The Arizona Republic, a democracy cannot survive if its people do not believe elections are free and fair.’"7

Children at the Border

One of the great humanitarian crises in the world today may be brewing at our southern border. The situation there, especially where it concerns children, was highlighted recently when two girls, ages 3 and 5, were dropped over the border wall near El Paso, TX, miles from any town. The world watched with horror as security cameras at the border wall captured the callous action. Thankfully, border agents saw it and moved quickly to save the sisters, who were not badly hurt. They have now become two of the thousands of children held in U.S. detention centers.

The U.K.’s Daily Mail provided some statistics to help us grasp the weight of this problem:

• Around 16,000 minors crossed the US-Mexico border in March, with 5,767 children in Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) custody on Sunday, 4/3, according to CBP data.

• Additionally, there are 11,886 children in the custody of Health and Human Services, meaning the Biden administration has more than 17,500 children in custody.

• Last week, the Biden administration finally allowed journalists inside the Donna facility in Texas for the first time, after weeks of shutting the media out and releasing their own photos. There, more than 4,000 migrants, including children and families, [are] crammed into pods with the facility now at 1700 percent capacity.

• Border guards say roughly one in seven of the migrant children have tested positive for COVID, while photos also show detainees being treated for lice.

• U.S. border officials estimate that up to 184,000 unaccompanied migrant children could arrive at the US-Mexico border this year, according to internal government data reviewed by Reuters.8 [Let that number sink in.]

Even CNN reported, “Border processing facilities for migrant children are ‘stretched beyond thin’ and experiencing ‘profound overcrowding’ that make social distancing ‘impossible,’ court-appointed monitors said in documents made public this weekend.”9

Amid growing criticism, the Biden Administration has become very defensive of its handling of the situation at the border.10 Reporters questioned Biden on his immigration policies in a press conference on March 25th, in which he said he would not send unaccompanied minors back. There was some pushback by reporters saying - if parents think they can get their children over the border, then be allowed to come to get them on the U.S. side, they will likely believe they can stay. You can read the entire press conference comments here on Whitehouse.gov.

The Lord loves and cares about these children and families. Struggling people in other nations see America as a land of opportunity. We know that and have compassion for their situation. The answers to this situation are complicated, and we must ask the Lord to grant our leaders His wisdom, and the necessary resolve to effectively deal with it. The church in these areas is being called in to help, as well. Pray for them; perhaps send them support. These are days of opportunity to show the love of Christ to those in pain. May it result in a harvest of souls.
