A Million Women
In Revelation 13:8, Jesus is called “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Amazing - God plans for satan’s defeat before this fallen angel and forever loser even launches his attack. Isaiah 46:10 actually states that God “declares the end from the beginning.”
For we Americans, this means God had already planned for our recovery and turnaround before we rebelled from Him. He is working on those plans now, moving on human hearts and orchestrating Spirit-led events. One of those events is the Million Women gathering on the Washington Mall on October 12 of this year, hosted by Lou Engle (The Call; Lou Engle Ministries) and Jenny Donnelly (The Esther Network; Her Voice Movement).
In God’s thinking, I believe this gathering is most likely a continuation of what began on 7/7/07 in Nashville, TN. On that day, 70,000 plus believers gathered to stand in the gap for America, praying to end her alliance with Baal and renew her covenant with God. Holy Spirit had specifically given this date to Lou Engle, leader of The Call events, before he even understood why. (My family and I were there that day.)
The words “seven” and “oath” are the same word in Hebrew (shaba).(1) This is because an oath of covenant - in a marriage, for example - was repeated 7 times. The oath was often called “sevening oneself.”(2) In Scripture, when Israel turned from idolatry and the serving of Baal in order to renew covenant with Yahweh, 7’s were often involved in the process (see Judges 6:25). The number 7 was also often found in the circumstances surrounding Israel’s judgment for aligning with Baal (see Judges 6:1). The Lord revealed to Lou that He sovereignly chose this date to symbolize the following two things for America: 1) ending her covenant with (“divorcing”) Baal; and 2) renewing covenant with (“remarrying”) Yahweh.
This gathering began a process in America that continues to this day. Coordinated efforts have taken place in ALL 50 states to follow up The Call Nashville. Much repentance has occurred, and thousands of prayers have been prayed to further this process in America. Now comes October 12, on the heels of a worldwide day of prayer for revival in America (September 22), followed by three weeks of concerted prayer, ending with the National Prayer Assembly October 10-11, and this gathering on October 12th. Lou relates this day to Esther and to the prophetic call in Jeremiah 9 for the wailing women to intercede for Israel. He says of this day:
“There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuum created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history: the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.
“Esther was a ‘hinge of history woman.’ She was an orphan Jew in pagan Persia, was adopted by Mordecai, her uncle, and then, because of her beauty, taken into an evil king’s harem. She was then appointed by the unseen dancing hand of Providence into the position of Queen of Persia. At that time, the king promoted wicked Haman, who issued a decree of destruction against all the Jews of the Persian empire. Suddenly thrust into a do-or-die defining moment, Esther chose to risk her life by going into the king’s presence illegally rather than live for self-preservation. There, she made intercession before the king and, in so doing, saved the Jews worldwide from genocide. Now, Esther’s story has become the divine template and inspiration for every generation that lives under the shadow of anti-Christ legislation, persecution, and anti-family ideologies threatening to destroy them.
“Welcome to the American crisis! Welcome to a new Esther Moment! The Lord is summoning A Million Women, Esthers young and old, with their husbands and children, to descend upon the Washington D.C. Mall on October 12, the Day of Atonement, in a LAST STAND moment for America. There, Esther will PRAY, FAST, and cry out for her children, for death has climbed through our windows (Jeremiah 9:21). There, she will find healing and deliverance in the presence of worship. There, she will apply the blood of Jesus to the doorpost of our personal and national guilt, and declare the victory of the cross over witchcraft and the powers of darkness. There, she will take her STAND and inject herself into the public battle for the revival and reformation of America.
“When there is no natural hope for a nation, where there is no natural remedy, God still has a holy prescription, ‘Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a Solemn Assembly, call a fast, gather the peoples’ (Joel 2:15). Let the Esthers, the children, and the Mordecais gather and call on the Lord on the Day of Atonement, a Day that must not be missed. Who knows if you have come into the Kingdom for such a time as this!”(3)
Tomorrow, I’ll have a very special guest with me on Give HIm 15 to share the vision of A Million Women. Don’t miss it! I conclude today with this video, then we will pray.
Pray with me:
Lord, Francis Frangipane studied the history of revivals, and saw that there was an organized prayer movement preceding each one - except the Jesus People Movement. “Why?” he asked You. “What enabled You to bring this revival?”
You told him, “I answered the prayers of a million mothers.”
In the countercultural revolution of the ’60s, with millions of young people drowning in the drug, sexual, and ideological rebellion, a million mothers cried out to You. And You answered.
The fight against darkness now is greater than then. And we are crying out once more for Your deliverance to an entire generation.
Place Your favor on this gathering. Move on the hearts of a million believers to attend in D.C., and millions more around the nation to participate online. And on Yom Kippur, this Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16: 1-34; 23: 27-28), forgive our sins and heal our land.
On this most solemn day of the year for Israel, when the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to sprinkle blood on the Mercy Seat, may the blood of Jesus bring mercy to America. On this day, when the scapegoat symbolically carried the sins of Israel into the wilderness, never to be seen again (Leviticus 16:20-22), remove America’s stain and uncleanness through the sacrifice of Christ.
In Yeshua’s name. Amen.
Our decree:
We decree that America’s covenant with Baal has ended, and we are renewing covenant with the Lord.
