Years of Prayer in a Day

In a staggering expression of love, the equivalent of several thousand years of intercession and worship was lifted over America this past Sunday morning. (As always, I wrote and recorded this yesterday in order to post it early this morning.) On a Global Day of Prayer, hosted by International Prayer Connect, a 3-hour prayer meeting took place for America. The networks participating around the world comprise 110,000,000 intercessors. 

If all participated, that equals 330,000,000 million hours of prayer (and worship). Let’s be very conservative - if only half of them participated (which I feel would be very low), and each one only joined for an hour, instead of 3 (which I also feel is low), that is still 55,000,000 hours of prayer and worship, which is the equivalent of 2,291,666 days, or 6,278 years. 

Mind-numbing. 

Other than Christ Himself, this is the greatest gift ever given to America. Could there be any greater sign that God is not finished with America?!

I was honored to offer a short prayer, but I was barely able to speak. My emotions were overwhelmed as I tried to process the value of this gift. I was also overwhelmed with grief as I pondered how far America has fallen from her destiny. It was humbling and very moving as nations, many of whom have been sent the gospel from these shores, sent back prayers for America’s reviving and recovery. I am still processing this gift from God and the nations. 

The prayers were strong, compassionate, and filled with faith. The intercessors prayed for:

• Jesus to be exalted in our nation

• the church to return to our first love

• our upcoming elections

• God to restrain lawlessness

• our families and campuses

• religious freedom

• a return to the fear of the Lord

• John 17 oneness among God’s people - only a united church can heal a divided nation

• revival and awakening in America

We ended the prayer time by praying for the salvation of lost people around the world, led by PrayForAll.com, and by partaking in communion together. After the 3-hour prayer time, dozens of on-site prayer strikes occurred throughout the earth in demonic strongholds of darkness. What a time this must have been in heaven!

I want to say thank you to the intercessors and their leaders around the world for their love and prayers. I also want to thank Jason Hubbard and Wesley Tullis of International Prayer Connect (IPCPrayer.org) for their hard work and outstanding leadership in the endeavor. And also, a big thanks to David’s Tent (DavidsTentDC.org) for hosting those of us in Washington, D.C., as well as contributing to the technical aspect of the event. All selfless, all excellent, and all Kingdom-hearted. 

And to those of you here in America who joined us, thank you for doing so. 

Twenty-one days of fasting and prayer now begin in America, ending on October 12 with the Million Women on the Mall event conducted by Lou Engle. 

America shall be saved!

Pray with me:

Father, thank You for Your love and grace, and thank You for this gift of love from our brothers and sisters around the world. We are very moved and deeply grateful. We humbly receive the gift, and are confident the prayers offered will be part of saving America. We were cleansed through their intercession, and strongholds were doubtlessly torn down. 

We pray for THEM today. Send revival to the nations, the world Christ died to save. Most of the billion or more saved in the coming wave of harvest won’t be Americans; they will be from the Psalm 2 “nations” You promised Christ as His inheritance. We love them; we pray for them. Send the blazing fires of revival around the world.  

We end by asking for the complete undoing of the strongholds maintained by principalities in the Middle East. Free the people of Iran, Lebanon, and elsewhere from the deception and hold of these spirits. May the revival in Iran continue to burn, increasing in its intensity and spreading throughout the entire region. We declare the release of great signs, wonders, and miracles in order to increase this harvest. Tear down evil structures, Yahweh; build Your church and expand Your Kingdom into the hearts of millions. 

In Yeshua’s name. Amen. 

Our decree:

We decree that Jesus is King over all the nations!
