I Prayed have prayed
Lord, thank You for holding back the thunderstorm, forecast for the very hour that the Let Us Worship event began in Times Square! Thank You for pushing back the darkness that tried in many ways to quell what You are doing in the land.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Let Us Worship filled Times Square with kingdom-expanding joy Sunday evening! Once the tents were put away, there wasn’t a drop of the expected thunderstorm. Intercessors, on-site and from afar, prayed away that attempt of the enemy to thwart the Lord’s plans.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

Eric Metaxas opened the event, saying, “We’re not just singing songs, we’re doing spiritual warfare.” He opened and closed his section with prayer, including this: “We pray that You pour out Your Spirit with manifestations of miracles and healings and signs and wonders in this city, and that people will write about the revival in New York City. We declare it with a Third Heaven authority. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

Sean Feucht, who started the Let Us Worship movement during the height of the COVID lockdowns, said Sunday night: “The purpose of this whole place [Times Square] is to get Your attention, and we’re gathered here to say, ‘Our attention is on You.’ … This is a prophetic sign. … This is where we’re going as the Church of Jesus Christ. Our focus and our attention is on You.” He prayed over us that we might not have blinders on, preventing us from being distracted by the things going on in the world. “If we can do this in Times Square, New York,” he said, “we can do it anywhere.”

The footage we took from the event, which you can watch below, includes an interview that Joyce Swingle and I did with Pastor Jay Koopman, who preached during the event. He is an associate pastor at Harvest Rock Church, in Pasadena, California. IFA followed their court case seeking to stay open during the lockdowns and that went to the Supreme Court, which ruled in their favor. Pastor Koopman prayed for IFA: “Father, I pray that we hear the whisper that is louder than anything around us, that speaks to our hearts.”

I’m not sure Let Us Worship planned it, but we welcomed in the Jewish New Year in Times Square! Rosh Hashanah began at sunset, during the concert. Several of us brought our shofars for the occasion.

Though protesters arrived with signs saying things like, “We love abortion,” and “Curb your God,” Feucht and Pastor Koopman were undaunted. Pray that the seeds planted in hearts on Sunday night will bear fruit.

Let Us Worship’s next stop is Washington, D.C., on Oct. 22. Find out more at www.LetUsWorship.us.

Here’s footage that IFA contributing writer Keith Guinta, Joyce, and I took, including Eric Metaxas’ opening prayers, footage that wasn’t captured after the live feed ended abruptly, and our interview with Pastor Koopman:

It seems the enemy was attacking through the live stream as well, but they may post the entire event later. If someone discovers it, please post the link in the comments below.

Post your prayers for revival in New York City and in our nation.

Halleluyah! Praise is legitimate spiritual warfare, and often sees results where moving in the natural won’t! Looking forward to the release of the videos.

Thank you for the video links and I praise God for all who attended and participated in this worship service. May the Holy Spirit move through out New York City and touch many souls; may all the naysayers see those change as your Holy Spirit permeates New York City.

We join together to seek your favor, Lord, on this growing ministry as well as your protection for it from the many temptations that come with success. Provide Sean sound Christian advisors and support. God protect this fresh beacon that has been shining with your Word so brightly in America against temptations.

I thank you for each person who has found you through this ministry. Please provide strong Christian mentors to also help them grow in their new faith. Continue to move across America as we repent of our sins and seek you. Amen

After viewing this and wiping my tears, I got my prayer notebook. This was one prayer placed on my heart yesterday. Thanks to everyone responsible for this calling in NYC. I believe my prayer is answered. I believe this is just one demonstration. I believe The Lord God Almighty is just beginning.

Dear Abba Father, call those who resist near. Call those who rebel near. Call those who reject near. And for us who revere You, call us nearer. I am asking this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

A more complete recording of the event is now online: https://youtu.be/H3vUl2xPtc4.

Also, of note, is the moment Feucht shared that the police told them we were too loud: https://youtu.be/H3vUl2xPtc4?t=5411

Lord, may we not be muffled! May our praise resound into Eternity!
