Thousands To Converge on Washington Mall for ‘The Return’ on Sept. 26, Flanked by Prayer Inspired by Ancient ‘10 Days of Awe’

NEW YORKAs political discord and a pandemic threaten societies around the world, prayer movements are gaining momentum and some have united to shape a global Christian revival with Washington, D.C., at its epicenter.

Hundreds of thousands of Christians and more than 100 denominations of churches world-wide have committed themselves in prayer and collaboration leading up to “The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance.”

“The Return” (TheReturn.org) is set for 40 days before the presidential election, and on the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, in the days of America’s founding and dedication to God. Surrounding the “The Day of Return” on Sept. 26 at the Washington Mall will be 10 days, known from ancient times as the Days of Awe, to be set as a special time of prayer and repentance on Sept. 18-28.

“10 Days” (10days.net), a movement of prayer, fasting, and repentance in love and unity based on the 10 Days of Awe, has been invited to collaborate with “The Return” as movement leaders call all peoples to turn from sin and humble themselves before God.

“We are in the midst of a multifaceted crisis right now, a crisis that no human being knows how to solve,” said “10 Days” leader Jonathan Friz. “An insoluble problem should lead us to self-reflection. What if instead of blaming one another, we took time to consider how our own actions and self-will have contributed to the current state of political division, racial strife, pestilence? What if instead of placing ourselves on a pedestal as judge, we would humble ourselves before the only Judge, and seek His mercy in a time of national and global calamity?”

Echoing Jesus’s prayer at the Last Supper that His followers would be unified, “The Return” and “10 Days” are pooling efforts to inspire believers everywhere to call on the name of the Lord as the only source of hope for their countries.

“It’s time to get into the trenches and help call people of goodwill to prayer along with ‘The Return,’” said Grant Berry of Reconnecting Ministries and Tikkun Int’l (reconnectingministries.org), who is partnering with “10 Days.” ‘It’s a real honor for our entire 10 Days team to stand alongside ‘The Return’ in this national and global call to prayer, repentance, and humility before God. If ever there was a time when we needed it, it’s now! Please Join Us.”

Ramping up to the September climax, “10 Days” is leading a three-pronged prayer strategy for “The Return” that includes personal intercession for movement leaders, weekly Zoom prayer calls, and a “Consecration Challenge” aimed at mobilizing 120,000 believers in dedicated prayer and fasting. Grant Berry and Jonathan Friz are working with “The Return” by leading the weekly global prayer intercession.

Coordinated events within “The Return” movement will also take place throughout America’s cities, towns, houses of worship and homes, as well as in multiple countries around the world, as many believe the nation has been given a critical window of opportunity to repent and return to God.

Share this great endeavor with your friends!

I would love to attend but am very concerned of people’s safety on account of the rioters and looters.
But then we should NOT cave in to fear. God has not given us a spirit of timidity and fear, but a spirit of boldness and courage. Father, may we not give in to fear and give us a courageous spirit. In Jesus” name, Amen.

“And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.”
Acts 1:4‭-‬8‭, ‬13‭-‬14 NKJV

“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Acts 2:1‭-‬4

Praise God!

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16
Prayer has divided seas, rolled up flowing rivers, made flinty rocks gush into fountains, quenched
flames of fire, muzzled lions, disarmed vipers and poisons , m arshaled the stars against the wicked,
stopped the course of the moon, arrested the rapid sun in its great race, burst open iron gates,
recalled souls from eternity, conquered the strongest devils, commanded legions of angels down
from heaven. Prayer has bridled and changed the raging passions of man, and routed and destroyed
vast armies of proud, daring, blustering atheists. Prayer has brought one man from the bottom of the
se a, and carried another in a chariot of fire to heaven; what has not prayer done!” Author Unknown””

God, help turn the tide in America from false teaching in education and the proliferation of communist and socialist ideas throughout universities and in classrooms for decades. Hitler said, “Give me your youth” and he turned them into fascists because of the vacuum from theological reductionism in the seminaries. Strengthen the church to not only pray, fast and attempt unity, but also speak the truth and cause our leaders to repent and stop the falsehood and false doctrine of revisionist history in Jesus’ Name.

There is a White House Siege to take place starting September 17 and run for 50 days. I am sure you have news of it. I believe there needs to be, those who can, out there before this siege starts to pray for it to fizzle or not take hold. We need worship leaders to lead worship. We need prayer walkers more than have been. Dutch Sheets, I believe, has a story about God leading him and his daughter to DC years ago. When he got there a few others had also been lead. They prayed. They didn’t know but that the Dali Lama was going to be there the next day, if I remember right, to send out 700 devils into Washington DC. He wasn’t able to, and he didn’t know God had sent Dutch the previous day. The Dali Lama left with his 700 devils.

    Our Messianic church near Tampa is doing it’s annual 3-week Daniel Fast for Teshuvah.
    We are doing the simulcast of The Return from 9am-9pm.
    It’s a busy month with Rosh HaShanah [Jewish New Year] and Yom Kippur
    [Day of Atonement]. That’s why we were told to fast the whole month this year.

Heavenly Father, In Jesus’ Name protect those who will be marching in Washington just as You protected the Israelites from Pharoah’army during the Exodus. Protect Franklin Graham, due to his prominence, seems he cold be at high risk for attack if not protected by police, etc.

I pray this revival will call down Your mercy and grace across our nation and the world.

Thank you for all who are organizing, working, praying to turn their own hearts and the hearts of many to the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Amen

Amen.

Thank you Lord that many Christians are coming together in the heart of our nation to humble themselves and pray for: forgiveness, compassion, humility and restoration to a God fearing people lifting You up with prayers and praise on our lips.

I pray for a demonstration of your peace and unity during these 10 days of awe for it is You that is AWEsome and mighty to the breaking down of strongholds that the enemy has erected. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Keep the rebels of darkness well away from this time at our nation’s capital. Even now set your angel army around the perimeter of Washington D.C. to keep it shining all 10 days and beyond. Let your light so shine that nations will humble themselves in Your sight. amen

I’m praying that God deal with the hearts of His people to tend their hearts and not their garments humble them selves repent and seek Gods face to heal our land. God spoke that scripture to me way before this pandemic started I didn’t know what God was saying to me so I began to ask God what are you saying still didn’t understand until all this chaos started from the pandemic.

    I believe that is part of the movement. My understanding is that Mr.Graham is leading the prayer walk along with other leaders and it has been coordinated to cover DC and America in prayer along with “the return”. No matter what, Christians from every walk of this life have opportunity to saturate our nation in prayer and fasting and repentance.

As I was praying this am for our nation, God Gave me Joshua 5:13-15. To me, He is saying the RETURN is holy ground.
May we all fall before the Lord in awe and humility during this set apart time. This is God’s call to the church in the USA.
Please be a part!!!

He also gave me Psalm 68 in the Passion translation- read it in the Passion…
Excerpts:
Verse 4:”Let them sing their celebration songs for the coming of the Cloud Rider Whose name is YAH!”…
“What a glorious God! He gives us salvation over and over, then daily carries our burdens!” (19)
“Our God is a mighty God Who saves us over and over! For the Lord Yahweh, rescues is from the way of death many times. But He will crush every enemy, shattering their strength. He will make heads roll for they refuse to repent of their stubborn sinful ways…
For my people will be the conquerors…”
Make music for the One Who strides the ancient skies. Listen to His thunderous voice of might split open the heavens. Give it up for God, for He alone has all the strength and power! Proclaim His majesty! For His glory shines down on Israel. His mighty strength soars in the clouds of glory. God, we are consumed with awe, trembling before You as Your glory streams from Your Holy Place.
The God of power shares His mighty strength with Israel and with ALL His people. God, we give our highest praise to You!”

The psalm begins with “God arise with awesome power, and Your enemies will scatter in fear!”

I believe the “Return” will cause a shift in the heavenly places where the rulers of darkness and the prince of the power of the air over Washington DC will be scattered. I am “seeing” something similar to what Joshua was seeing in his first battle of such huge proportions-
God is for Himself and His
purposes ; He gives help to His people as they seek His face and He does cause HIS enemies to be scattered.
May we ALL come to repentance during the RETURN!!!
We are on Holy ground!

The week of Sept 18-28 is the week for us to fast & pray for nation. As I was looking at my calendar the eve of the 27th is Yom Kipper. I had to look up to see what Yom Kipper represents. It means the day of Atonement. If you don’t believe me please look it up.
It’s up to the church & pray with other denominations to our GOD! Asking forgiveness of our sins and of this beautiful majestic
Land. He will hear our voices He will Heal our/His LAND!!! BELIEVE & TRUST HIM! KEEP YOUR EYES UPON HIM. And watch what He Will Do!!! GOD says,”I Am the GREAT I AM”

    The church should celebrate the Lord’s Feasts:

    “In court they will act as judges. When they judge, they will follow my teachings. They must obey my laws and my rules at all my special feasts and keep my Sabbaths holy.” Ezekiel 44:24
    What blessings He gives for obedience!
    Maybe that will be next as we Return.
    Get your Hebrew Roots, too.
