Jonathan Cahn, on The Return:

The Return occurs during the 10 days of Awe, the period between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (the first 10 days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei), where Jews seek reconciliation with those they have offended and take time to self-reflect, repent, and practice acts of charity.

During this 10-day period, a most significant day exists on the Hebrew calendar which falls this year on  Sept. 26, Cahn explained. The day is called Shabbat Shuva. Shabbat means “sabbath” and shuva means “return.” It is the day established to return to God, specifically for a national return to Him.

Joel 2 is a portion of Scripture that is appointed to be read on Shabbat Shuva, which speaks about coming before God with repentance and consecrating a solemn assembly of prayer and fasting. Jews around the world will be unrolling the scrolls, reading that scripture in their congregations that day.

“We had no idea,” Cahn said of the seeming coincidence of this day and The Return.

“When I look at the biblical template and I see it unfolding and coming to pass, I know the stakes here and the stakes are that if we do not return to God then we may pass the point of no return, that without revival America is gone as we know it. And without repentance there is no revival.” (Excerpt from The Christian Post.)

Franklin Graham on Prayer March 2020:

The upcoming march is solely about prayer and calling upon God, Graham stressed.

“I don’t have entertainment; I don’t have music. We are coming to pray, to pray for our country, our leaders. And by starting at one end of the Mall and going to the other it’s an opportunity for us to walk together and to show unity,” he said.

Just as the freedom marches in the civil rights era during the 1960s were a demonstration of unity, this is an opportunity for the Church to come together, he added.

“By coming [to the march] we are participating in something that is bigger than us, and we are going directly to the throne of grace, calling upon the name of God, asking for His favor, His help, and I hope that these Christian voices, these prayers will shake the city. And not just shake the city but shake the country. And it can happen.” (Excerpt from The Christian Post.)

Father God Creator of Heaven and earth, to You and You only be Glory and Honor and Power!!! For You have created All things and by Your Power and for Your Glory they We were created!!!
Thank You for what You have done and shifted in the Heavenly and in this Nation….not only this nation but the Nations of the world.
This was my 3rd time in the last 20 years starting with the first Call in 2000 to have the privilege and honor to join with The Church standing in the gap for our Nation.
And each time has been amazing….and I know that each time God heard, God moved…..but this time, This time there was a shift in the Heavens even as I write this Im so humbled by what I know Father has done!!! I still have the burden to cry out..push for the Fullness of what God intends to accomplish in and with His Body in this Nation!!! Amen
But there was a joy, a sweetness you could feel the Fathers pleasure as we repented, prayed, marched, loved on and witnessed to each other and the vendors, the police officers, the lost.
The Beautiful Bride of Christ winning this battle on our knees!!!!

What an awesome privilege it was to be part of the “Return.“ It was spectacular from the first sound of the Shofar to be in that sea of people Seeking to honor God and repent for the sins of our land. Both groups, those praying on our National Mall and those Marching through the streets were crying out to God on behalf of our nation and for the healing of our hearts and land. We have never seen Washington DC so peaceful! It was absolutely beautiful. . The sealing of the day occurred with the 7 Blessings and Declarations of the people followed by the Shofar Blast after each one. Truly a Feast of Trumpets!

I thank you Lord for this country and pray for our people to return to you. Please cause those that don’t believe you to see you. May we as Christians have love in our hearts for those so lost. Use us dear Lord to bring about positive change to your glory! All honor and glory to you Jesus!

Is it possible to put what President Trump said in support of the prayer on the Washington Mall in writing? Jonathan Cahn read it to the people live but I would love to pray through what the President said in his statement. This gives us the Body of Christ an opportunity to quote him accurately and share with others. Thank you for help with this request!
👏🙌🎺🎺🎺

Father, have mercy on our nation as the righteous ones continue to worship in truth and declare You are Lord. Hear the cries of Your people as they stand in the gap in prayer. Move upon Your church and break off the spirit of religion and pride. Open ears, eyes, and hearts to Your truths. Bind every form of brainwashing of liberal thinking and loose righteous thinking. Cause every person in our nation to repent and turn from any wicked ways. Dry bones rise up, Lost souls receive. Wake up believers. Reveal Your great love, truth, and goodness as people search for guidance. Let the fear of the Lord be our wisdom. Holy Spirit move upon us like a fierce wind. Make Your supernatural presence known. This battle is Yours and You have warriors in place. Continue to cover Your righteous ones with the blood of Jesus. Confuse and dismantle every scheme of the enemy. Cause discord and chaos in every camp Satan has established. Charge Your mighty warring angels over every city and town in America. Expose evil and corruption that masks itself as government leadership. Tear down their world of influence and their power over the American people. Cause the rich and influential people to fall if they do not have a Kingdom agenda. Tear down the power of large corporate control. Bless and protect every government leader whose agenda aligns with Yours. Let righteousness, justice, and truth prevail in this great nation. Let us not grow weary or complacent. Quicken us to be vigilant and strong, clothed in Your armor. Our eyes are fixed on You alone, and our faith does not waiver. Your Kingdom reigns forever. Jesus in King and the earth is His footstool. In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus.

My prayers and heart are united with this company of saints! Maranatha!

Reminds of a song we sang in the 70’s during the Jesus Movement!, “Lift High The Banner of Love, Hallelujiah”

Lift high the banners of love, Hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the vict’ry, Hallelujah.
Jericho must fall

1. Brothers, are you sure of your calling?
Will you fight for Jesus the King?
Are you prepared in this battle
To lay down your lives for your friends?

2. We must stand in unity by the spirit made strong
Stand with Jesus, our captain
And fight till God’s kingdom has come

3. Preach the Saviour crucified, dead but risen again
Come against the powers of darkness
In His glorious name

4. In the name of God the Father
In the name of Jesus His Son
And in the name of the Spirit
We will fight till we are called home

Lift high the banners of love, Hallelujah
Sound the trumpets of war
Christ has gotten us the vict’ry, Hallelujah.
Jericho must fall

Oh Lord God, hear our prayers of repentance for the death of 62,000,000 abortions. Forgive us for this loss of the miraculous life you created but was destroyed. The babies cry out from the land. Lord, forgive us, forgive us, forgive us I pray and heal our land. Our destiny as a nation for you, Lord, was made at Cape May and we were to spread your word. Forgive us for becoming complacent, comfortable and thinking we were safe. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. Forgive us, I pray. May today be a reconciliation. Bless all those who have come together today and shift our nation. Remove the blinders from those who promote Marxism, hatred and separation. United in you, Lord of the army angels, we stand today together in DC, our homes and around the world.

Lord awaken the sleeping giant in your church today. Let the fire of your Holy Spirit fall upon your people as they gather this day in our nation’s capital And across the nation. Let true repentance and submission to you and your truth bring us to a place of action to take back the land you have given us. Let the wind of revival blow across our nation and raise up the laborers to be sent out from our nation into the uttermost parts of the world to bring in the end time harvest in Jesus name. Amen
