I Prayed have prayed
Lord, thank You that You are calling us to take our place on the battlefield of prayer and repentance. We look to You, our Captain, and we trust You for the victory!
Reading Time: 5 minutes

The killings and ongoing catastrophy in the nation of Afghanistan require God’s Hand. The Living God allows disasters in a nation so that we will turn to Him.

Regardless of your nationality, in any one of the 45 nations on this global repent data base, in your prayer closet or in your church, you, as part of the nearly 1,000 on this team, can take time in your time zone internationally to pray, fast and repent this coming Sunday, August 29, 2021.

We will all grow in Christ, that much more prepared as His Bride. He’s the soon-coming Bridegroom!

You know the Scripture: the Lord said to King Solomon and to you and me today, in 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14: ” When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.”

These are the suggested prayer points; please add others as the Holy Spirit gives them to you:

May the battle become the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20: 15)

May the spirit of death be blocked by God’s Sovereign Hand in Afghanistan and other nations where the spirit of death has been allowed to grow;

In that nation of Afghanistan, may people be hidden supernaturally by the Hand of the Lord just as in John 8:59 when Jesus disappeared into the crowd;

May all those fleeing to the hills or hidden in cities be protected (Psalms 73, Psalms 91);

May the Lord protect, save, and deliver miraculously all women and children being forcibly taken (2 Thessalonians 3:1-5);

May the growing Afghan ecclesia step into its identity in Christ and walk in unity, and continue to grow, with the power of the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 37, Romans 15:5-6);

May the Afghan church proclaim the Good News boldly to their neighbors who are despairing of Taliban rule.

May there be a safe evacuation and escape for Americans, mission workers of all nationalities, and Afghan believers who feel led to leave the country;

May all those Christians who remain be covered in His Sovereign Protection, able to move to areas of refuge;

May there be His Provision for the widows and orphans, and all those martyred for their faith;

May there be confusion in the camp of the enemy, destroying themselves as in 2 Chronicles 20: 22-30.

The horrific debacle in Afghanistan is more than a military and political problem. It’s a spiritual problem: the Victorious Judeo-Christian Truth of Yeshua/ Jesus, standing for Love and Life v. Satan, the loser, and the anti-Christ spirit of death central to Islam.

We have always had to fight this wicked spirit, personally and as nations.

Once the problem is properly defined, we can call on God’s Word for His Way to defeat Satan. It requires God’s Hand. Human incompetence, if not treason, has created a situation only He can resolve, including protecting Christians and non-Christians facing suicide bombings and beheadings this very day, not just in Afghanistan.

The Word is clear:

‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit’ says the Lord of Hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)

Please join me in praying that our “leaders” will awaken to His Solution. God’s Answer has been used 800—that’s no typo—- times in the history of the USA: a National Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer. The Living God is ready to fulfill His Word in 2 Chronicles 7:14 if you and I will do our part. He will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our land IF His people called by His Name, humble themselves, pray, seek His Face and TURN from our wicked ways.

More than prayer has to happen. The Lord rightfully is looking for our REPENTANCE as well.

Who will be the first “leader” to call for this??

The Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul in Romans 12:21 (Amplified version) tells us today:

Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good.

As we wait and pray for God’s Solution, here are additional prayer points from our sister Barbara:

PRAYER DECREE OVER AFGHANISTAN  

We lift up the Name of the Sovereign Lord, Yeshua, the Christ over AFGHANISTAN. And from our position of authority seated with Christ in heavenly places, we declare a halt to the murderous rampage of the Taliban, and we speak the SHALOM of God into the midst of the demonically driven chaos. In the authority of the Name of Jesus we dispatch the Heavenly Host that have been sent out by God to serve, accompany, and protect those innocent men, women and children who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). In the name and power of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth who came in the flesh (1 John 4:3), We decree that the Blood of Jesus has triumphed over and prevails against the entrenchment of all demonic forces seeking dominion in Afghanistan. We loose the Taliban from the spirit of “jihad” that seeks to annihilate Christians and incite hatred and murder. We decree that the spiritual kingdom of Babylon and the stronghold of Islam must bow to the Name, Kingdom, and Authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.  

FOR IT IS WRITTEN:

  • “God has highly exalted (Jesus) and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…” (Philippians 2:10-11) and
  • “The kingdoms of this world (shall) become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever.” (Revelation 11:15)
  • “…and the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6) for “the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our Lawgiver, the LORD is our King.” (Isaiah 33:22)

Then, having authority with Almighty God over all that opposes Him (Luke 10:19), we take the keys to the house of David (according to Isaiah 22:22) and close the spiritual door of access used by these powers of darkness, and we declare annulled all unholy alignments and covenants against the land and people. We call the people out of the reign of darkness and death and into the Kingdom of light and truth — out of the bondage of Islam and into the Liberty of Jesus Christ.

We declare the word of the Lord from Psalm 24 saying: “The land of Afghanistan belongs to the Lord, and all those who dwell therein.” We declare over that nation: “Be lifted up you city gates and ancient doors of Kabul and Afghanistan – so the KING OF GLORY may come in — the LORD OF HOSTS, the LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY, the LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE.”  We declare that the dominion of Allah and the forces of evil aligned under that stronghold are uprooted and cast out of Afghanistan, and the dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ is established!     

We ask You, LORD OF HOSTS, to show Yourself Mighty – and to call forth Your warrior angels of the Heavenly Host to enforce this decree (Hebrews 1:14) and to withstand this battle in the heavenlies! (Daniel 10:13)

In Yeshua’s  Holy Name above all names, and under His Precious Blood, Amen and Amen.

******************

Prayers are strongest when there is, in advance, time with the Lord to confess sins and repent. Using the gift and power of repentance is vital before you pray for others!

It’s the fervent prayers of a righteous person that avails much. (James 5:16)

Dear Lord, I completely agree and pray for prayer and repentance to happen all across our land. You are calling us to take our place on the battlefield of prayer and repentance. May Your will be done and we look to You, our Captain, and we trust You for the victory! In Jesus Name and Authority I pray, amen!

Yes, I will join the day of repentance tomorrow, with prayer and fasting. I agree we definitely need even a national day of repentance, but with the current administration, that will never happen. We, as God’s people need to humble ourselves first and stand in the gap.

It’s clearly time for His Solution in His Eternal Word to be the line in the sand for each of us and for every nation— especially this beloved USA which He birthed through His Miracles for His Divine Plan.

Yes I sense God calling ALL Christians to take part in this day of repentance, fasting and prayer. I don’t really see this as a call but a step of obedience and responsibility for all of us.
I cannot shake the heaviness that seems always to be present. Sometimes it’s hard to even concentrate on everyday life but I know that burden has been placed upon many from God. It’s like something great is about to take place but it will not break forth until the body of Christ responds to God’s nudging.
°Lord I pray this message of prayer, repentance and fasting will go forth today to reach millions of people. Amen.

    Amen! I so relate to that spirit of heaviness…but God keeps telling me to put on the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness! Easy to say so hard to do when all around you appears to be crumbing. Be encouraged though and praise! The Bible is filled with those who in dire circumstances and times of great uncertainty willfully chose to praise! Yes, I too feel a call to obedience and will pray and fast today. Thank you for your honest words and know God is calling others to prayer and fasting.
    He reinforced 2 Chronicles 20:22-30 to me this morning. They praised God first…then went into fight. God gave them the battle without having to even fight. He reigned victorious! The enemies destroyed each other. Oh, for such a victory we pray! So, remember to praise as well as praying and fasting today.

I will take part in the National Day of Repentance this weekend with fasting and prayer. Corporately and individually the Church needs to turn back to the Lord who is calling us to repent. The Lord’s mercy, compassion and grace are unlimited if we would but humble ourselves before Him and acknowledge our need for repentance. I also personally acknowledge Him as the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob who created all things visible and invisible and who was and is and ever shall be world without end.

Father God I thank You for waking Your church and calling us to stand at the gates and keep watch over the city.
Forgive us for being asleep and not knowing the season and times. Father I repent and ask for Your mercy over this body, Your grace to wash over us once again so we may join in Your battle for Your creation.
Abba, You are Lord God almighty, the God who takes vengeance on Your enemies!! It is time for You to punish evil!!
Father, let the rays of revelation light shine from Your people in Afghanistan and pierce the conscience of the wicked.
Father arise as judge of all the earth and punish those bent on evil, avenge the wicked as they heartlessly murder the widows and foreigners and even the orphaned children. See how they are crushing those who love You God??
But Lord, Your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear You, You are faithful to all who love You and follow You.
Father, May we be Your fire-tipped arrows in intercession calling Angel armies into Your battle to pierce and strike down Your enemies, staggering backward they will be destroyed!!
Father, answer our prayers with amazing wonders and awe inspiring displays of Your power so no one can deny that You are the only one true God who lives and reigns forever.
Just like in days of old Father, You are the same God yesterday today and forever, You are our only hope, our trust is in You alone🙏🙏🙏

As I read this piece, I couldn’t help but think that some of the things we say about the new Taliban nation are true of the US
and that we could easily insert in the prayers the US along with Afghanistan

Lord, my prayer is for good and not for evil. I ask you to break the equipment and the tools that are used by evil and as in Babylon, you break the tool of communication between evil forces and those being used by them will be confused, inefficient, weak and lost so that your people will be hidden under the shadow of your wing. So that our troops would be protected through the prayers of the saints and by your hand. I pray that the Taliban will come to naught and like a candle will be blown out and useless against the people of Afghanistan and the people that live there to help and every Christian there and our soldiers. In your name, Jesus!!!!
