When Wisconsin intercessors gathered to pray at the Capitol in Madison on October 12, the Day of Atonement, “A Million Women” held a worship rally simultaneously in Washington, D.C. The groups coincided with prayer, fasting, communion, worship, and declarations.

Those gathering that day in both locations anticipated a breakthrough and freedom! I was personally shaken by the level of repentance I saw in those who traveled to Washington, D.C. I knew immediately that this was truly a “holy convocation.” People’s hearts were open on a level that I have never witnessed in all my 30+ years as a Christian.

I prayed deeply as I gathered with like-minded intercessors at the Capitol in Madison. We prayed for repentance in the building where laws are passed shaping all aspects of our state culture. The shofar sounded multiple times as we processed our love for the Word of God. Our gathering included communion to symbolize Christ’s sacrifice to make us holy, and we praised the Lord in song for the blessing needed to take back what the enemy has stolen.

Several people approached us during our three hours of worship and intercession to thank us for our prayers, and I could sense the Holy Spirit working. I was reminded of a personal vision I had last May of Christ coming into a worship service in the Capitol rotunda, roaring as the Lion of Judah. It was easy to believe the sincerity of these strangers’ comments since the Holy Spirit prepared me through this vision.

This same location was where “Call to the Capitol” took place in mid-April on the feast of Purim. Although we faced hecklers and possible violence from an LGBTQ+ group at that prayer rally, God redeemed that event. Thirty-five state and city police, along with security personnel on the grounds, protected us. The Lord is redeeming our Capitol city!

Recently, state intercessors created and branded a large prayer room specifically for revival close to a large non-denominational church in east Madison. The room is open every weekday for personal and corporate prayer to usher in an awakening in the Church–and beyond!

We look for many more opportunities to bless our capital city, named after James Madison, one of the great and brilliant writers of the American Constitution. The Lord is ushering in an awakening and revival in Madison.

Please pray with us!

• Pray for Wisconsin’s voting process. Intercede that Governor Tony Evers would have a change of heart as many unbiblical policies have hurt the state terribly. Ask for the Lord’s intervention. (Prov. 21:1-2)
• Pray for the Senate seat to be filled with the righteous candidate in next week’s election.
• Pray for IFA Wisconsin to have at least one person in each county represented on the weekly prayer call. I am asking God for the gifts of those who participate in our state prayer calls to be utilized. The first IFA Wisconsin leader, whom I dearly respect, has said to me many times, “Each person brings their oil.” If that could be true for every Christian, hallelujah! (1 Pet. 4:10-11)
