I Prayed have prayed
Holy Spirit, we welcome You and invite You to purify our hearts and make us willing to bend to Your will and Your ways in our lives and in our nation.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

We were recently invited to be a part of a team of seven, with connections to Shekinah church in Ann Arbor Michigan, on a whirlwind prayer journey to Washington D.C. The adventure began as we took communion before jumping in the church van, praying for divine encounters and signs along the way.

The first divine detour occurred in Pennsylvania. After a brief lunch stop, we clamored back into the van and set the GPS for C Street in Washington D.C. The GPS led us on a completely circuitous route, and we ended up in rural Pennsylvania.  We pulled over and debated backtracking to the freeway when we noticed we were just a couple of miles from the Flight 93 memorial! We knew God had orchestrated this moment and we had to follow! As we entered this National Park, dedicated to memorializing that fateful day, 9/11, we found the Tower of Voices.

“The Tower of Voices is conceived as a monumental, ninety-three feet tall musical instrument holding forty wind chimes, representing the forty passengers and crew members. The intent is to create a set of forty tones (voices) that can connote through consonance the serenity and nobility of the site while also through dissonance recalling the event that consecrated the site.” (from the National Parks Website).

We were deeply touched as we reflected on the courage and self-sacrifice of the 40 passengers and crew members. Realizing their plane was headed for the Capitol or White House, they determined to take a stand. They overtook the terrorists, thus saving our nation from further destruction, causing the plane to crash in an open field. We felt we were on hallowed ground.

We were heading back to the van to move on to other parts of the site when we knew we needed to go back to the Tower of Voices. Standing in the base of the Tower, we began to sing “Spirit Holy Wind of God We Welcome You” penned by Patricia Ridings:

“Spirit Holy wind of God, we welcome You. Come purify our hearts.
As a wheat field bows down low, as the wind begins to blow,
Make us willing, Lord, to bend before the power of Your wind.”

As we sang a strong wind began to blow and actually caused the 8 prototype wind chimes to sound despite being under construction and TETHERED! In this Hebrew decade of PEY (voice, mouth, wind, breath) their voices still speak.

We felt the Lord was saying: the 40 voices represent a generation that took action to shut down the onslaught of the enemy by interceding with their very lives.

September 2020, the United States of America stands poised in history on the brink of a collision course between the forces of those who seek to destroy our very fabric of life and those who must take a stand, unite, and raise a voice declaring truth, life, and liberty.

Fear, unrest, and rioting are running rampant in our cities.  Terrorism exists within and without our borders.  The throes of evil are hurtling towards our nations’ capital and the White House, endeavoring to rewrite our history and tear down any memorial for which we stand.  A clarion call must sound loud and clear!  Will this generation rise to the challenge, inspired by those who have gone before us?  The Heroes of Flight 93 stir and impel us to resist the onslaught of evil.

We believe God is compelling His bride in this hour to step into our prayer closets as well as gathering together to humble ourselves before Him to intercede – lifting our voices to heaven to arrest the schemes of the enemy, pressing in until we see His Kingdom come forth on the earth!  It’s time to take action and arise!

(IFA thanks intercessors Sandy and Nigel Lidiard for sharing this encouraging testimony!)

As I read this, I could feel Holy Spirit rising in me for the call. Continuously being one to release truth at all cost. I bow my knees and heart at all cost for the call of God.

The God of finite details continues to call Christians to detailed prayer and service. We are presently on the precipice of major changes in our nation. God is calling his body to step in and seize the opportunity before us. If we don’t, it has a very great chance of being lost.

I used to be a happy Christian doing some acts of helps & kindness thinking I was doing everything I could to promote those things that have eternal values…until 2020 where God has called me to be a prayer warrior on steroids, regardless what people may think. I am SO grateful for your organization because it keeps me plugged in to strategic prayers.

Father in Heaven, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, in whose name I pray.

I pray for the family members of those who sacrificed their lives on 9/11 to save the White House, or nation’s Capitol building. They will always be remembered. Thank You Lord, for comforting, blessing, and keeping those family members all these years since 9/11. Bless all who lost loved ones that terrible day.

Thank You for humbling us as a nation, and bringing us to repentance. “You have tested us, Lord”. “You wish to purify us as silver” so we are fit vessels to serve Your Kingdom and others. Thank You for reminding us to humble ourselves, and seek Your guidance and blessings in the days ahead. You will strenghten us to “raise our voices”, and call to You for deliverance from evil. You are faithful, Lord. Praise and Honor to Your Name. Amen

Please Google this video and watch this video: Alex Jones & Bishop Larry Gaiters The Coming Destruction of Black Lives Matter. I researched witches in high school for a report, I also interviewed one of the last slave owners for a college research paper, and I also had many discussions with a Congressman from Baton Rouge years ago who is now deceased. I don’t like spreading false news, but something inside of me tells me that this video is not false news. Please respond to me after watching this video and help me to sing praises unto the Lord to stop these witches and their Black African witchcraft.
Thank you Lord for all those who protect us. Thank you Lord for all the lives you spared. Thank you Lord for helping those who have lost their homes by providing them with food, clothing, and shelter. Thank you Lord for watching over us like you do the ravens in the field.

    Very instructive Elizabeth. While I wholeheartedly believe what this discussion is about I don’t believe everyone has it in themselves to do the necessary homework to prove its veracity. Now, having said that, there is some concern that when people make distinctions between good and evil, black and white, there are some fence sitters who will pick and choose what sounds like them.

    I appreciate the extensive research of Bishop Larry Gaiters and tenacity of Alex Jones to speak to uncomfortable topics. Isn’t it interesting in just the language alone that the enemy would take a word like divination and make it palatable by calling witches (celebrity idols) whether knowingly or unknowingly. Think about how BLM leaders demand that their audience “say their names!” That ACT is meant to invoke the “familiar spirits” of the dead.

    I just wanted to respond to say you are not alone in having this sham of authoritarianism being brought to light. The only thing that is going to bring these groups to an end is to upend their sources of funding and exposing the lies of their causes.

    So Lord, Shabbat Shalom Baruch ha Shem, on this day, Rosh Hashanah, a day when you have called for the life of a supreme court justice, I declare this to, indeed, be a new beginning in a new year where the yoke of suppression is lifted from truth. May your word proceed from the mouth of your creation in every form you deem necessary to bring the Prodigal “to him/herself,” that those who were trained up in the way they should go will understand the goodness and richness with their lives under the cover of a loving and protective father. May they recognize the swine they are feeding for their unsaved master and “make a u-turn” in this very hour. And while that is happening, speak to the Prodigal’s brother and sister that they may join in a righteous luau, a feast that honors the Prodigal’s return. Let their be no envy or strife against the tortured victims of darkness … come to the table because WE ARE ALL sinners yet all are invited. In the name of Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ our Messiah, amen.

      @Ronda: I really appreciate that you encouraged us to google Bishop Larry Gaiters w/Alex Jones. The information that Bishop Gaiters was trying to get-out to the listeners was powerful, enlightening information…information that is needed. However, Mr. Jones interrupted him too many times and disrupted the flow of information, and sadly, with great disappointment, it was the host who was a true interference….that was a frustration to me.

      But THANK YOU for leading me on this path.

        Well I appreciate your attempt to suck me in but I found nothing related to the topic you started on the coming destruction of BLM.
        I found many interviews between these two guys but nothing about the deeper research related to spiritism, voodoo and or witchcraft. The original topic was about how a group of travelers to DC were taken on a spiritual field trip to the site of one of the terrorist hijacked planes that went down because good people stepped up to save many others.

          I am sorry, and I pray that you can forgive me. I did not realize how many times G. Edward Griffin was interviewed by Alex Jones. In fact he has many videos. If interested about hearing the subject matter from a different perspective, please watch the video below. G. Edward Griffin is the founder of Freedom Force International dedicated to the victory of individualism over collectivism. It now has members in more than 65 countries. He will be doing an expo on Jekyll Island in Georgia: Red Pill Expo.org This can also be watched livestream.

          If you go on Trump supporters website: 2020electioncenter.com, and type in BLM in the search bar, you can watch videos with Patrisse Cullors, the Founder of BLM. This is a very conservative website. I don’t think I have it in me to research validity. A lot of articles are biased.

    Witchcraft was taught as superstition in school books when I was a kid. That is what I thought for many years but NO more. There is a sinister evil power out there taking possession of our younger people who have no Christian moorings. Let’s be sure sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews are indoctrinated in Biblical teachings that prevent them from caving in. May the Soverign of the universe fight for us as we intercede against the powers of hell.

I agree, God’s children must put God first, in the home, work, play, outside in the world. May we, His children, seek Jesus and obey God. May our US of America stay under God’s authority and blessings and peace, wisdom. Many countries LOOK to US for help and stability. May God bless President Trump and Vice President Pence

From Psalm 93 TPT, “Chaos once challenged you, the raging waves lifted themselves over and over… YET at the sound of your voice they were stilled by your might.” As we find ourselves in a time where terrorists would attempt to take down or Capitol and our White House yet again, we stand and we pray and we speak your decrees, O God, knowing that at your word angel armies are being released to fight for us. Hallelujah!

Dear Heavenly Father May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven during this season of uncertainty, unrest, and urgency! I call upon Your mighty name and lift your Holy word to you. Isaiah 64:1-4 NIV

Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you! [2] As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you! [3] For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you. [4] Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

Father we wait to see your hand of justice and cleansing move across this country! In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen

Begin with me, Lord! Compel us to our prayer closets and may our prayers be effective against the plans of the enemy. His Satan’s will be thwarted as Your will is done and Your Kingdom, our God, comes! For Your Name sake, we pray.
