Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord
~ Joel 1:14

Intercessors for America invites you to join us for 21 days of fasting and prayer for this new chapter of our nation. What better way to start 2025 than to call upon the Lord and plead for a protected Inauguration, a peaceful transition, and providential authority for this new administration?

The first seven days of intercessory focus will be on exposing, dismantling, and removing the oppressive and corrupt rot that our Founding Fathers strove to avoid.  The second prayer phase will be for discernment, understanding, and preparation for the new dawn that breaks forth.  The final seven days will be spent entreating and petitioning the Lord to guide this administration and We The People as we reclaim, restore, and rebuild our governing bodies with foundational truth, honesty, virtue, and nobility.

The November 2020 election results rightly left countless millions distraught and filled with dread for the future of our country.  Out of that dread and lament, a national prayer movement launched, which possibly would not have formed otherwise. Four years of faithful, fervent, and travailing prayer sustained us through these long, darkening four years and has now delivered these miraculous election results of 2024.

When the Lord hears a nation’s prayers, it is fitting to thank Him with the same zeal we beseech Him with.

He answered their prayers because they trusted Him.
~ I Chronicles 5:20

And we must continue to trust Him. As much as the November results were the end of one grueling race, the Inauguration on January 20 will sound the starting gun of the next, far more demanding race.  This next race will require measures of stamina, resilience, and ingenuity not seen in our lifetime.

This newly formed administration will have four short years to deracinate the systemic roots of corruption in Washington, D.C., restore to prominence the biblical principles upon which this nation was established, and, with all excellence, reclaim the form and spirit of governance our Founders gave to us. These heroes of history derived this lasting blueprint through rigorous learning, keen discernment of human nature, and the ardent study of scripture.

Today, the form of our republic, found mainly in The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, remains a firewall against a full-scale invasion of globalist oligarchical tyranny. But the spirit of our republic, which is Christianity, has been muffled, muzzled, and removed from its rightful place in the public square.  If the form of our republic is untethered from its animating spirit, the eroding tides of secular paganism and cultural Marxism will eventually recast a malformed landscape our Founders would fail to recognize, and Our Heavenly Father could never bless. Join us as we pray and fast for the tearing down of this ungodly system and for return to the biblically-based government our Founders initially gave us.

The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount.  The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.  I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days.  If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.
~ Harry Truman, at the Attorney General’s Conference, 1950

So what do we do in response? Our spiritual calling mirrors what will be happening in the natural. Tear down the ungodly structures and spiritual abominations. Seek His Kingdom and its expression through our Founders’ plan for our government. Rebuild in His image as it was intended—and occupy the land.
