IFA received two words from seasoned intercessors in the same day, one confirming the other. IFA seeks the Lord for discernment in selecting all of the information we post, and especially when sharing prophetic words. We encourage you to ask the Lord whether and how prophetic words may apply to you personally or to the Body, as well as how to pray. Every prophetic word is to be tested by each believer. Intercessor, please prayerfully read these and share what you think in the comments below.
First we share a word that intercessor Betsy received:
Change: it is coming much more quickly and more extensively than most people imagine. The bad will get worse and the good will get better. There is a great “sorting out” underway (a differentiation) that will occur September through November.
Do not be shaken by this. Hold onto Me. I AM holding onto you and all who look to Me.
Do not fret about the details. Abide in Me and in My Word. Obey Me when I tell you what to do.
It will be okay for My children. I have decreed it. It will be okay!
It will be very rough for those against Me. I will deal with them Himself. Leave them to Me.
However, there are many more who have “built on sand.” The shifting of the sand will fundamentally unsettle them. They will have some of the “walls of their houses” collapse. They are just lost, confused, deceived, and/or ruled by fear. Have compassion on them; I do. But, do not try to “prop up” their falling walls and houses. Do not try to repair their foundations built on sand; it is futile. Rather, let the collapses happen and then discern My Spirit on their receptiveness for My Kingdom; give them the Kingdom, not “band-aids.”
Care for the “band of sisters and brothers” that I place you in. This is the “soften up” for the Great Invasion of the illegitimate empire of the enemy. (An analogy to the movie “Band of Brothers” and the Normandy Invasion.)
I love you.
Jamie Rohrbaugh is an IFA Contributing Writer who has a wonderful website, https://www.fromhispresence.com/. Here is what she shared with her mailing list:
Beloved, I asked the Lord to tell me what He has in mind in the Spirit realm for this month. . And this is the prophetic word for September 2021 the Lord gave me: “It is a month to fast and preach!”
The Lord elaborated on this quite a bit below; but first, let’s look at three Scriptures.
Here are the Scriptures the Lord spoke to me for this month about the fasting portion of this word:
First is Joel 2:15-17:
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and nursing babes; let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her dressing room.
Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, and do not give Your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
AND Isaiah 58:6-14:
““Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken” (Isaiah 58:6-14).
And here is the Scripture the Lord spoke to me for August 2021 about the preaching portion of this word:
“Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you” (Isaiah 55:5).
I asked the Lord to elaborate on what He said about September 2021 being a month to fast and preach. And the Lord said:
“I have heard your travail and your groaning. I am listening to your cries as they arise to Me. And beloved, your cries are making all the difference.
You cannot stop now. I do not want you to stop travailing; to stop groaning; to cease crying out to Me for help. Indeed, Your cries are keeping the earth from disaster. You do not know it, but your prayers are fervent and effective and I need you to continue crying out to Me so that I can save and rescue many around the earth.
The times of the end are drawing nearer.
I am harnessing the prayers of My people to accomplish My will on the earth even though you do not see it. Many things are happening that were not My will, but I still have a plan to work out all things–and I do mean ALL THINGS–for the good of those who love Me and are called according to My purpose.
My heart is broken as yours is broken for all the sin on the earth; indeed, My heart is even more broken than yours in that area. But My goodness is greater. My redemptive purpose is greater, for the blood of My Son Jesus is GREATEST.
The blood of My Son Jesus is actively at work on the earth,” said the Father.
“You do not always see it or know it, but My grace is still sufficient for you. My strength is still made perfect in your weaknesses.
Indeed, all the governments and kings of the earth with their military might combined are weak when compared to Me. Your heroes and even heroes of faith, in all their might and strength and even faith, are still weak compared to Me.”
“I can do things which you cannot do, and I am doing them,” says the Lord.
“Look at things from My eternal perspective. Learn to see things as I see them. Your emotions should not overrule your spirit at any time. Although your heart is broken by the things you see around you, you should always be able to see how I am working and My redemptive perspective.
In September 2021, it is a month of fasting and preaching. I need you to pray:
- For the world around you.
- For the poor in spirit who are of My Kingdom but who cannot seem to get their head above water. Pray that they will see God.
- Pray that I will continue to prevent disaster, and that I will mend and heal the disasters that men who hate Me have caused.
I need you to receive My heart for the earth. I need you to see things the way I see them, for I am moving on your behalf; yes, even now I am moving. I am perfecting all things that concern you–even those things of greater scope and impact than ever concerned you before.
I am preventing many things using your prayers, and I will both prevent and heal many more things using your prayers.
I need you to fast and pray right now. I need you to combine the strength of fasting with your prayers because then I can respond to your emergency prayers with My emergency response of grace!
I also need you to preach My Gospel more fervently than you have ever preached it before. As I am moving with My redemptive grace, I am bringing more sons and daughters into the Kingdom than I ever have before at any time on earth.”
“I will be glorified in whom I will be glorified,” says the Lord!
“The hearts of kings are in My hands, and in My hands alone. I can AND WILL turn those hearts wherever I wish. I will expose what I choose to expose and I will hate what I hate and vengeance DOES belong to Me,” says the Lord.
The Lord continued:
“I wish for My people to remember that always: that although I am a merciful God, I am equally a JUST God, and the fact that I have reserved vengeance for Myself means that vengeance is important to Me. I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will also get vengeance upon whomever I choose to get vengeance.
I need you to know that because you think I have forgotten you!
You think I do not see–but I see more clearly than you. You think I have not heard–but My ears are always open to the sinner’s cry when that sinner cries out to Me for forgiveness and salvation; how much more are My ears tuned to YOUR cry? I tell you, I am hearing and I am acting!
You think I am doing nothing, but that is not true. You simply have not heard the stories yet. Pray therefore that the testimonies of My Christ and of what He has done will get out over the whole earth, for truly My Son has been acting on your behalf as you have asked and prayed in His name, that I may be glorified in My Son Jesus!
I urge you today, My child: Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
My Son is moving and I am moving. My Son is working; I am working; My Spirit is working; and My works are going out over the whole earth. You need to know this; strengthen yourselves in Me!
You must not be cast down or in despair. You must keep your hope, for Hope is in Me! Remember, “Christ in Me, the Hope of glory!” That same truth applies to the world’s situation just as much as it does to your individual situation, or to your family’s situation.
You are the hope of the whole world, even though they do not know it; for My Son Christ in you is working through you, moving through you, answering your prayers, and preaching the Gospel through your voice!
Beloved, preach My Gospel with power this month and every month.
You will find yourself preaching and witnessing with more power this month than you ever have before. A new thing has come upon you; it is the new thing I have done.
You have received a new BOLDNESS! You have contended for the river and have received it, and this shall be a sign unto you: that the steps of faith you have already taken this month shall reap a harvest. Indeed, the plowman shall overtake the reaper!
My child, I am with you always.
I am with you to comfort you. I am keeping the whole world together in My hand. I am keeping your life together in the palm of My hand, where your name is inscribed. Fear not, little flock; for it is My good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
This month, as you fast and preach My Gospel to your friends, neighbors, and to the uttermost parts of the earth, You will see My hand at work–and you will know how great is the mystery of the Kingdom of God IN YOU.
With ALL My love and blessing,
Your loving and tender Abba Father.”
Whoa.
Thank You, Father God.
Pray with me in response to this prophetic word for September 2021:
“Father God, in Jesus’ name, thank You for perfecting all things that concern me. Thank You for speaking to me about the things that are breaking my heart. Thank You for giving me courage, hope, and boldness to go on praying, seeking, fasting, and believing You. I love You, Abba Father. I receive Your comfort in this word today, and I receive Your touch of boldness, power, and anointing to preach. Thank You, Abba Father. In Jesus’ MIGHTY, holy, and precious name I pray. Amen.”

Yesterday, as I was leaving for church, the phone rang. I was asked if I would give a ride to a young lady, an hour from where I live. I felt that I needed to go. God showed me His power to deliver someone who was in drugs and homeless last Winter, who had seemed so hopeless. She is so bold for the Lord and even while we were together witnessed to a person in the street who said that he needed to hear her words from God. Wow! God still transforms and redeems lives. That gives me so much HOPE. OUR GOD IS STARTING A GREAT AWAKENING, praise be to His Name. “Thank you, dear Lord for your great works and wonders. We are yours, we are in Your Hands. I pray in the Name of Jesus” Amen.
Awesome words! Both confirm a very different, very intense prayer time around 8am this morning. I felt led to pray for President Biden. I did not want to; I told the Lord that, but He gently said, “Obey Me. Proverbs 21:1 came to mind: “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord and He turns it wherever He wishes.” Daniel 4:1-33 (the story of Nebuchanezzar’s dream of the tree cut down and stripped of limbs, leaves, and fruit, leaving only the stump) then came to mind. Daniel 4:31 – as Nebuchadnezzar boasted of how great a kingdom he had built, “a voice came from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken; the kingdom has departed from you.” Verse 32 says: “until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men.”
Then, as I prayed for America, I “saw” a map of America’s contiguous states cupped in the palm of a massive hand, a left hand because the right hand holds the sword of vengeance. Vengeance belongs to God.
As I interceded for America and President Biden, my prayer language took on an intensity and vocabulary completely different from anything previous. I don’t consider myself an intercessor.It is only with the anointing of Holy Spirit and at His direction that I intercede. This was a warring prayer but also one that included sanctuary for the repentant.
For months, the Lord has led me at odd, random times to pray for Nancy Pelosi, that, as Jesus prayed for Peter, she would turn to Him and then strengthen her brethren. She would use her influence and power to lead her peers to Christ.
Thank you for your ministry. God bless each of you.
This is very encouraging. I have definitely been pressing in to more fasting in the past few months, and especially right now (Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashana & Yom Kippur), plus 9/11 anniversary. AND I have also felt a lot of boldness stirring up. Not completely sure how all that will take shape…. As we see greater & greater divisions politically, I felt like that was what the Lord was also doing in the spirit realm–separating the light and the darkness. No more mixture, fewer and fewer “gray” areas. And in sensing that, boldness for myself to take a clear stand regarding what side I am on. No more tolerance for compromise in my own life, and to not at least point out compromise in other areas. Maybe gently like “As a Christian, I can’t participate in that.” Or “Since the Bible says… then I choose….” I have people who, if asked, would label themselves “Christian” but then do nothing differently. And they might not even want to be called “Christian” at this point. Maybe we have another prophetic picture as we look at socioeconomics & that the middle class is getting squeezed out…those “cultural Christians” are being squeezed out & having to join a “side.”
Thank you, woman of God Jamie Rohrbaugh for sharing Abba Father’s thoughts to you for this group! Yes, these words resonate with me!!!!
God Bless you for bringing all of this to light–I had no idea! We hear of the thousands of military vets that take their lives, but have not been made aware to remember the pain & difficulty for the many firefighters. I won’t even just say law enforcement, though all are important–but somehow firefighters have some sort of ‘invincibility’ aura. They go in, put the fire out, and are heroes–end of story. But you have shown there is So much more to their lives & so much that has impacted them mentally & emotionally, as well as spiritually. Thank you for making me more aware of the lasting horror & sorrow they must have endured since 9/11. With the 9/11 anniversary upcoming, it is good to remember them & how much they need the Lord.
After a long while away from the Lord, I recently repented and decided to start reading the Word again. My first day of prayer and reading was Sept 2nd. I was led to read Joel 2:15-17 and felt an urgency to focus on this scripture. Seeing this same verse here really shook me. The Lord hears our prayers and He urges us to all prepare now and not wait or procrastinate any longer. Thank you for this post and I hope and pray we can all stand together in prayer for our people and nation wherever we may be.
Thank you for sharing this above. Amen! I agree and believe the biggest crisis coming next will be faith crisis. This is the greatest portent of the Noah generation in Matt 24: everyday people in their everyday neighborhoods and work-a-day world had no room for God. Everyone was lost except Noah and family! it was a crisis of faith in grievous proportions. Here’s where Intercessors come in and seed sowers! God bless us in these vital times. http://www.iOutreachInc.org
Father, I recieve Your Word . I recieve the strength You alone give, I recieve correction where I falter. father You are my keeper, You are my song, You are the love in my heart, Father You are everything I have need of. When I feel down, You pick me up and shower me with Your love. Father it is my desire to walk in Your ways and stand on the rampart and see what you would say to me. Sing, oh sing my children for in the songs there is strength and deliverance. sing unto Me, oh, yes, sing, my child for I love to hear your love sung to me. “”””””
Thank You Father.
I received the Isaiah 58 verse earlier a month or so ago, I thought as a personal word to me, but now believe it is much more than that. Thanks for sharing, I will keep praying!!
I just wanted to say the Lord truly spoke to me thru this article today. it’s as if he spoke directly to me. He truly does work in mysterious way’s! Amen! and Amen!
Lord, thank You for this encouragement. Thank You for the supernatural BOLDNESS. I need it.
Lord, I give myself to You to not only pray as You lead,as always, but to also speak as You give me utterance and the words to say.
Thank You, Lord, for doing far more than I can even ask or think when I bring my prayers to You. Thank You, thank You, thank You!!!
I think both Betsy’s and Jamie’s prophetic words are right on— they echo what the Holy Spirit is saying to me.
Recently I had been crying out to the Lord for wisdom and understanding about a certain issue, and I didn’t get a real clear prayer strategy. I was frustrated in a way.
When I went to church that morning during worship, I felt like sort of cupping my hands in my lap—then I had the sense that the Lord put into my hands a beautiful round loaf of golden brown bread. It was about 7” across like a round stone, I could palm it.
Then the scripture came to me about “if we ask our Heavenly Father for bread, He will not give us a stone.” He gives good gifts to His children.
I felt like He was saying to ask, seek and knock for wisdom and understanding in prayer, and His answers are like that beautiful portion of bread, the round loaf; and those answers are bread for me because they satisfy me; even though sometimes the strategies take time to develop, they will take form and shape. Don’t give up. God has heard me.
Just as Jesus said to his disciples when they saw him talking to the woman at the well, they wanted him to eat, and he said that he had already eaten—that he had “ food “ to eat which they knew not of: he had been dining, “supping” with the woman, on “spiritual bread “—-her response to his salvation message.
So cool. God is so good.
Thank you for so much encouragement, as the LORD of Glory continues to reveal Himself and His Divine Love and provision. We need to dig deeper into His Holy Scriptures and spend even more time in fervent intercession, covering ALL we see in the natural with His Holy Fire! To that end it is of great benefit for ALL the Body of Christ to recognize the profound significance of the Feasts of the LORD- commonly called the Feasts of Israel.
Rosh HaShanah begins Monday evening with Yom Kippur 10 days later. Why is that important? Prayerfully consider this blogpost that gives spiritual insight as to how these and all the Feasts are graphic in representing the Covenants of our ABBA Father. Be blessed beyond measure, for His Light shines brightly in the midst of darkness:
https://zionsgate.wordpress.com/2011/09/27/the-blessings-of-rosh-hashanah-yom-kippur/
The part about preaching the gospel in power which includes the utilization of the gifts of the spirit does resonate with me. I sense the power of the Spirit will be released as we fast and pray. I see the Holy Spirit coming to our gatherings as we invite Him to minister to us. I see believers boldly stepping out in promptings from the Spirit to heal the sick and downtrodden, I see the Sprit moving as a response to worship done in Spirit and truth. I see compassion expressed one to another and this compassion opening doors for the work of the Holy Spirit.I see this happening in the midst of our nation being rocked with internal strife and natural disasters. As the lost head toward destruction I see the faithful push in toward the Lord. I also see many lost seeking and finding the Truth, who is Jesus our Lord.
As the wife of a retired FDNY Firefighter still living in NYC, I too feel an ominous heaviness concerning September 11th. We will be attending a memorial mass in downtown Brooklyn for his firehouse families. They lost seven men that day and my husband personally knew and worked with half of the 343 firefighters who died that day, let alone the many more who have died since then due to 9/11 related illnesses. This is a largely unreached group. They have for the most part been closed to full surrender to the Lord or relationship with Him. They have been overrun by false healing- as directly following 9/11 the City of NY allowed occult practioners into firehouses with transcendental meditation, reiki, acupressure…Many are still ensnared, confused, fearful, angry, self medicating with alcohol, isolation and mammon. Please pray for a powerful anointing for preaching accompanied by signs and power. They are hungry and lost, broken yet fearful of surrendering to the Lord. My husband is part of a FDNY retiree group of over 50 men on Staten Island. Only one has recently given his life to the Lord, and he is moving out of here to Florida. The fields are ripe for the harvest. Pray that the Lord of the harvest send laborers into the vineyard. Please pray for me as I go forth to minister to these families as the Lord opens the way. These families do look up to me as a “spiritual person “ as I’ve sung for many of these memorials then and over the years. Pray that my husband would surrender to the Lord as well. How I long for spiritual unity in my marriage and home. Also I would ask for prayer as my friends and I have been ministering on the boardwalk in Staten Island, in worship, preaching and praying. We began at the beginning of the lockdown and are still out there on Sunday mornings. Please pray that we be protected and hidden from any who would try to interfere or prevent what the Lord is doing there. Thank you so much!
Abba Father, I pray for my dear sister that you would continue to give her the boldness and courage she needs as she ministers in Staten Island. Lord, keep her and her group hidden and protected and still able to share the glorious gospel with others. I pray that many, many people would turn to you Lord and surrender their lives to you. I also pray for the retirees in FDNY. Abba, may they have eyes to see that you are the only way, truth, and life. May they see, know, and understand how much you love them by giving your son Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins. I pray they give their lives over to you. May a revival break out in NYC and all across our land so that many millions more will come into your kingdom. Thank you for your great love for us Lord. Amen
Praying in agreement, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord, I stand with Carolann in asking for her husband’s salvation/full surrender. Surely You have heard her prayers and nothing would delight You more than to answer them with a powerful gift of life to him. Reassure her that her prayers and example are powerful in his life. Let Your perfect love cast out all fear in him. We are encouraged that one of the retirees has RECENTLY given his life to the Lord! May he be first-fruits of many more salvations. “Light a (holy) Fire” among these firefighters that cannot be put out! Bring them to a place of welcoming YOUR fire, participating with it, rather than fighting & resisting it. Let every coping mechanism that is not from You show itself to be empty. We stand against occult practices & nullify them in the Name of Jesus. We declare healing by the Blood of Jesus. Bring revelation to them regarding emptiness, and embolden them to trust You for true fulfillment. I think of another person’s response on this thread–a vision/sense of the Lord giving her a loaf of bread (like His promise in Scripture). Carolann asks for bread for her husband…we know you won’t give him a stone instead. Lord, open his eyes to the bread You are placing in his hands, stir up his spiritual hunger, so that he will eat it and live!
Thank you for sharing these words and scriptures. I believe God is calling us to fast and preach for many reasons. I agree with those who are praying for a bountiful harvest of souls in Afghanistan. I pray for strength, protection, courage and the Holy Spirit anointing on Christians who stayed behind “for such a time as this” to share the Gospel. Another reason I believe God is calling His people to fast and pray is this month is the 20th anniversary of 9/11, we just let thousands of people from Afghanistan into America, our borders are wide open and we’ve left stockpiles of weapons with the Taliban. I have dread in my heart something terrible is going to happen here in the USA.
Holy and Almighty Father, hear our prayers as we come before you in fasting, prayer and preaching this month. I pray for protection from our enemy the devil against your people around the world. Nothing formed against you will prosper! Nothing is impossible for you! In Jesus name I pray.
WOW!!! That’s one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL Words from the Lord I’ve ever heard! Thank you so much for sharing with us, we NEED each other! Oh God, help us be ALL that You have called us to be together through Your Son and Spirit and Jesus Name! I receive it! I was crying and praying through the whole thing!
Interestingly enough, the church I have been going to also was sensing the need to fast in September, especially for consecration.
Your words resonated with me. I am the only one that I know of in my family who is saved. My daughter and her family don’t want to hear about Jesus and salvation. They wouldn’t even let me buy my granddaughters Bible storybooks when they were young. My sister and her husband are not saved either. All of these lead “good” lives, according to human thinking. They are like I was more than thirty years ago. Somehow, though, the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin and of my need for salvation. I pray throughout the day everyday that my family and others would come to a saving knowledge of our Lord. I have begun to pray for Muslims in Afghanistan and elsewhere to have dreams and visions of our Lord and to hear Him preaching the Gospel to them and that they would be saved. I am so thankful that our Lord led me to Intercessors for America and encouraged me to join in on the prayer webcasts. They are such a blessing. I am able to focus my prayers better on what is happening in the world. I take great comfort in God’s promise to never leave us nor forsake us. I have highlighted the numerous occurrences of that promise throughout both the Old and the New Testament. I am also comforted by knowing the God is in control of all situations, no matter how things appear. He has promised to work all things together for good to those who love him and are called according to His purpose. I pray the He will bless all intercessors and strengthen us to do His will and to fast and pray for others.
I’m sorry if my comments seem to come out of left field. I thought I was replying to another intercessor who had mentioned unsaved family members.
Vicki. “you are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.” Be encouraged, you are perfectly placed. May God bless you, in greater abundance than you could ever hope, today, tomorrow and every day.

Dearest Father, Please raise up leaders with the spirit, boldness and clarity of Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of the United States The border walls as well as the walls against wickedness in the nation.
Well stated and back up with the Word of God. Amen.
That The Lord works in His ways..not our ways..is ever more apparent
Yes sir Herb, He is God of the Impossible!
Amen..Im also continuing to seek ways to be involved in our local civic process., my biblical duty- to be salt and light..*Everywhere there are people
I am encouraged. My fasting is weak..but my prayer life is regular..and my daily time in the word has improved 1000% over this past year..of course.
I still believe- and will always believe..that believers should be actively involved in their local governments
This definitely resonates with what I have been going through during my prayer time. The overwhelming emotions, and crying out to The Lord over His people. There is an abundance of hurting in our nation. We are all feeling this pain. The compassion for God’s people is undeniable. We will get through this together. We must stay United, and fight the good fight of faith. We are Kingdom Warriors and we never give up!
Yes and amen. Such a serious time we are in, yet so exciting because of the harvest of souls coming into the Kingdom of God. Thank you for sharing.
Good afternoon,
I viewed a lesson this morning by Derek Prince entitled, “Thy Kingdom Come.” Within the first five minutes, he gave the illustration of the power of prayer and fasting:
“1987, The Church in Russia was looking forward to its 1000th anniversary. It set aside the month of January for prayer and fasting, And I believe, if you look for the real cause for the dramatic, political changes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, it’s not in the decision of politicians. It’s in the prayers of God’s people.”
(8) “And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. (9) Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?” (1 Kings 3)
This is so profound and true. Speaks all that I have been feeling and hearing and praying. It is so uplifting, precious and encouraging to read these words that are certainly from our God. Thank you. Praise the Lord. 🙏🙌
Yes. We have been traveling across country praying as we go. Yesterday as we were preparing to pray over each empty chair at the OK bombing memorial the Lord reminded me that our prayers are no small thing. When we are praying in obedience in partnership with him, we’re not grasshoppers. In His hand our prayers are powerful giants. AND LETS NOT FORGET IT. AMEN!
YES and AMEN!
Amen! God was speaking to me through Nehemiah 9, how our country is so similar to where God’s people were then. God moves, we forget, something bad happens because we have lost our focus on God. Then we call out again and God hears our prayers and moves on our behalf again…. we forget… and on and on. We need to fast, repent for our forefathers and ourselves, seek God and keep our eyes on Him. He will see us through this. We know who wins, we have read the final chapter. God is moving in mighty ways, speaking to many people, drawing many intercessors in prayer, fasting, and repentance. Praise God!
I feel insufficient to respond but both of these intercessors are speaking words that resonate in my heart and mind.
In Betsy’s HOWEVER: “…many more who have “built on sand.” … They are just lost, confused, deceived, and/or ruled by fear. Have compassion on them; I do…”
This morning, I was led to pray for all who are innocent of evil but not God fearing. Even in the time of Revelation, when the earth reaches a level of such intense suffering, people curse God instead of calling out to HIM. I am not referring to these, who are active in their support of our adversary but our kindly neighbors, maybe children, spouses…any who have not felt the personal tug of the Lord.
Dear Father in Heaven, show me how to rise to Your Call. Show me how to be the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
“You must not be cast down or in despair. You must keep your hope, for Hope is in Me! Remember, “Christ in Me, the Hope of glory!” That same truth applies to the world’s situation just as much as it does to your individual situation, or to your family’s situation.”
I pray my family members and all those who do not yet love HIM, will KNOW that Christ is the Hope of Glory and only in Him can we approach God Almighty. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Help us do Your Will in the Name of Jesus, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, to Your Glory forever and ever. Amen
2 Corinthians 2:15;John 14:6
Praying in agreement. Amen and amen!
I can see only one salvation for the people of Afghanistan which is the only hope for all people, but this is quite urgent. I pray that the Holy Spirit will fall on that nation in an overwhelming way – that he will visit the Americans still in that oppressed land and call on those who are serious Christians to preach in the streets, secure in the protection of the Lord, to share the good news of Christ, without which tens of thousands or more of these poor, ignorant followers of the god of Islam will be murdered by the vilest terrorists on the planet. The Afghans will perish eternally unless the Lord visits them in a miraculous way and brings them into the eternal life that is found only in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen! The Lord had me in 2 Cor 12…. His grace is sufficient. His power is perfected in our weakness. This word confirms a lot. I get weary in praying and not seeing, but I know what is not seen is eternal. All what we see is temporal. I need to press in to fasting. I left that practice behind. Thanks for sharing this.
This is a excellent word(s) – especially for me since I have had many ups and downs with my faith in the last 8 months and whether the Lord had forgotten our nation.
In the midst of all the rough seas, I have had glimpses or small visions of our nation being released from bondage, millions across the land rejoicing at freedom being experienced again & people in deep and willful corruption finally receiving justice and accountability for criminal actions against the people. (that can be incredibly hard to grasp when many leaders that are so corrupt but protected from justice). God seemed to be saying “I still hear the groans and heartbreak of my people”.
Today I believe He said something to me (for all of us) that we must be sure that when we long for and ask for justice that we do so with pure hearts. He’s not saying justice for wrongdoing is not something we shouldn’t long for but He is saying don’t let hate and subtle revenge be the motivation for justice. Too many are still hating the person or group of people instead of hating the sin. God is still in the role of restoration for mankind, regardless of what crimes have been committed. We have all been lost in varying degrees and we must carry the reminder of that humbling truth daily with us… especially when praying for God’s perfect justice to move forward.
The one true injustice in the world is the Creator and Provider of every good and perfect thing being rejected by His creation who has turned to worldly things to worship instead of Him. We must repent! We must ask for forgiveness and turn from our wicked worldly ways and turn back to the heart of worship. Our Lord and Savior who died for us and our Heavenly Father who loves us so much that He did not spare his own Son but gave Him up for us all! Praise Him! Worship Him!
Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible encouragement! These words grasped exactly how I’ve been praying! Thank YOU FATHER for hearing and answering in JESUS Name! Amen!
Completely in agreement with these words! We are in an Is.60 time – darkness, deep darkness covers earth and people but over us, GLORY! Let your light so shine! Also, the Joel.scripture is specifically about crying out for His chosen ones – the Jewish people, and us, the ingrafted ones. Blow the shofar! We are still in Elul – the King is in the Field – and we are His Beloved and He is ours.
I believe our King is speaking to us intercessors now as perhaps He never has before. I believe with all my heart that He is bringing the greatest awakening & revival ever on the earth. I believe He is continuing to shine His piercing light on the evil and corruption in the earth, and I believe His vengeance is coming in His perfect timing. I will be fasting and praying this month, and witnessing to everyone God brings into my path about His unbroken promises — to all who not only believe IN Him but also BELIEVE HIM and His Word. Pray, people of God — for America, for Israel, for all believers, and for all who do not yet know Jesus. Pray for all those things that break HIS HEART, listen for His instructions, and obey. To Abba, His Son, and Their Holy Spirit be all honor and glory and dominion!
Many are fearful when the exortation to “preach” is given because they do not understand that the preaching of the Kingdom of God and His righteousness through Jesus Christ from a pulpit is only a very small part of God’s urging. The workings of the Holy Spirit, the unique ministry of each believer and the administration of it all by the Father gives each Beleiver a distinctive anointed ability to reach their sphere of influence.
Since our election, the Holy Spirit has given me three words to Stand, to Wait, and to watch. As I stand in faith, the Word of the Lord strengthens my faith, for His Word is Truth. As I wait, He gives me strength, rest and peace, even in the midst of the storm around. As I watch, I see the Glory of the Lord being manifested. I’m very encouraged with these words of exhortation giving us hope, direction and an eternal perspective. I also have an impression that the Harvest is great, but the laborers are few. My prayers have turned to a cry for repentance both in the Church and in the World around and an awaken in the Churches to be ready to disciple those who God brings into our midst. During this year He has led me to teach on the Agape Love of God, Prayer, and the Precious Blood of Jesus. Teaching is not my gifting, but as I lean into His Heart I know this is His leading. after much prayer and seeking His direction and study, the door has opened in my church to do teaching on deliverance. With much caution, but dependency on the Holy Spirit I’m moving forward, knowing He leads the way and will give me even the prayers for those who partake. My heart is that Jesus will set His people free and be able to loose us of all those things that hinder and keep us bound, that we may say as Jesus did “the enemy has no hold on me”. May He set His people free, that all may use the giftings of the Holy Spirit with freedom, love and authority, as God shows us His Glory. So, “let us fix our eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Whatever we may face be encouraged and know He has paved our way with His Precious, incorruptible Blood and won the victory. Let the Church pick up that plow and preach the Good News, teach others and live the Word for His Glory. His Holy Spirit will guide us as we ” draw near to Him”.
Yes…I had a vision We were in a boat like the disciples and Jesus said the wave is going to continue to rise but keep your eyes on me.
Then the wave turned into a sunami but in front of that huge wave near the top, stood the united army of the Body of Christ standing in a continuous line across the the wave with arms and shields locked together moving toward the shore with the power of the Lord!
Yes, this rings true to my heart. Unity in His Bride is vital. We need to be open to and embrace His presence, His Spirit and His Word. Let us obey and submit to our merciful and Just God and Father.
SO encouraging! Consider looking up information on the Jewish tradition at Rosh Hashanah (Sept 6 – Labor Day) of the Tashlich prayer. Repentance is a powerful aspect of coming before a Holy God – and as we receive and respond to the call to be more bold in our surrender and used by Him, having the opportunity to recognize our justification before Him motivates me even more. Fear operates with the enemy the way Faith operates with God. I have been SO distraught over the latest happenings – but am turning to worship of our Holy God – to be still so that I can tune into what He is saying to me. We are united in Him – and it is SUCH an honor to pray alongside such faithful warriors.
Thank You, Lord, for Your people hear Your voice! Wonderful encouragement.
Yes, the Lord has had me praying and prophesying:
From seeing the abundance of wicked in America caused by the wicked in power, He’s had me appealing to His mercy and that He’s a just Judge and God…
Lord, You are the God who passes over, have mercy on us, O God, for many of us have NOT aligned ourselves or yoked ourselves with wickedness by voting for evil men/women, injecting ourselves with these satanic COVID vaccines/other vaccines produced using the cells of aborted (murdered babies) which perpeutates the demand for abortion and wicked science using fetal cells, etc. We hate what you hate and desire to walk in Your ways. We want nothing to do with the evils of this nation.
Therefore, because You are mighty and all things are easy for You, it is nothing for You to PASSOVER us, Your people, for the blood of Jesus is upon us, just as You did for Your people in Egypt that judgment – You MADE A DISTINCTION – that we not be touched or affected by judgments we do not deserve. You can easily restrict Your judgment on the heads of the wicked alone. In Jesus’ name, amen. etc etc
Psalm 37 is for such as time as this and one He’s had me pray and prophesy for some time now.
“Wait on the Lord,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
Because they trust in Him.” – Psalm 37:34-40
He has also had me prophesying to the false thrones the wicked have set up for themselves (e.g. Gates, CCP, Rockefellers, The Joeker in the Whitehouse). That because their foundations are built on sand, He told be to prophesy that they crumble beneath them, turn to dust, and get carried away with the wind, etc.
Love how we are one by the Spirit and He confirms His Word to us and prayer strategies to greatly encourage us and even bring us into agreement with one another. So powerful!
Thank You, Father God, that You are moving. Thank You that You do not ever sleep nor do you slumber. No matter how evil and depraved things get on this earth, You are still who You are. You never change. Thank You for your covering, protection, and Your great love. Please, show me how I can better serve You, and to be salt and light to this dark and broken world around me.In Jesus’ name.
Thank you for sharing.
The Holy Spirit has been prompting my heart for months to “get ready” – during that time and now he has been and is a PREPARING His children to be his hands of healing. Just as, in the book of Acts the apostles healed the sick and cast out demons in Jesus name, so will we be used in this hour! But we first have to be in intimate relationship with Him, seeking Him and listening to his promptings. Lord, that you would make us “ready” for what is coming!
Yes,my spirit resonated with these posts early this am as I prayerfully read through them.The Lord has been telling me to fast and pray.I now recognize He seriously is convicting Intercessors to get very serious and put prayer power behind this Spiritual battle that has revved up due to the late hour. Yes, I believe He is saying repent as individuals that we may have the fullness as of the Holy Spirit to guide us.We are to get the Gospel out in any form we can; pray for our families,friends, cities, nation and the world.The Afghanistan debacle has been a final revelation of just how far we have gone the way of evil.We are living in the Days of Noah again, but God is not finished.
We are to be encouraged that He is speaking to many: keep running the race as the finish line is within sight; give it all you have.Thank you Lord for this prayer group.
It’s easy to hear Abba’s heart through the pen of these intercessors. IFA is a never ending source of encouragement and truth. Thank you! I grew up in a military family, and the situation Afghanistan (worthy of the commander in chief being court-martialed) has left me breathless and in tears for the losses being experienced by both the Afghan people and our US military personnel. I love how the Lord has encouraged us that we just haven’t heard the stories yet! I am praying for the underground railroad for the safe departure of all who want to leave and safe travel to the next assignment from God for them. I think intercessors understand the depth of heaviness with not only this situation but also the effort to systematically dismantle our God given Republic. God forgive us, God deliver us from our enemy. We know all things are in your Holy, Righteous, Justice filled hands and we just want to be in the gap doing our part when we see you.
Eternally,
Danielle
This is the Word that I really needed today. My husband has turned to the bottle and after 56 years together he keeps telling me that he is leaving. The Devil is using him for despair. It was working until today. I will resume fasting, return to prayer, that I’ve had not been able to finish, and preach to all. Thank You!
Satan is attacking marriages and families, especially for those whose family members are not saved and/or sold out for the Lord.Hang in there my sister.Do not despair.Remember Satan is using every means possible to shut intercessors down.Be faithful.I will keep you in my prayers💜
Franci, I am lifting you up in prayer! May God deliver you both from the snare of the enemy. Be encouraged! No weapon formed against you will prosper.
I’m late in reading your comments, but it is perfect
timing because what you said stands out so profoundly
from those who are not facing what you face. I know
what God can do for you. I know His perfection that
will answer every cry of your heart. The lying devil
thinks he can entice your husband away from the Truth
and that you are helpless to stop his actions, but you
remember the power of God and what He can do and you
will stand on the Word of God and trust Him. God
choses the foolish things to confound the mighty. It
may cross your mind often, “what can I do?” “How can
I make any difference in my husband?” The answer is,
you cannot, but God can. You just keep on with your
close relationship endeavors with the Lord and let Him
have your husband. I will spare you the details of all
that I endured with my rebellious, alcoholic husband –
did I mention abusive as well? But, the solid, unshakable
faith that trusting the Lord brings will conquer all the
actions of the lying enemy who is defeated in Jesus name.
You are not alone! You are strong in the Lord and in His
mighty power. I will keep you in my prayers. Be very alert
to noticing the blessings of the Lord for you, His faithful
daughter! In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Both of these are similar to Pastor Dana Coverstone’s dream which week before last he spoke about and it was explained by an interpreter. Pray much for our redemption draweth nigh.
Beautiful ❤️
I agree with these words of encouragement and action.
Thank you, Jesus, for the information ahead of time.
Help your intercessors to focus and hear your voice.
Heal our bodies, strengthen our spirits, and help us to fast, pray, and minister to people.
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you for sharing. These prayers and testimonies are very comforting. May God continue to hear our prayers. May our prayers help right the wrongs committed by sinners and may our prayers turn the sinners hearts back to God. May God’s love and strength bringing healing here in our country and in the world.
Amazing words of encouragement at a much needed time!! Thank you, Father, for placing your words in their hearts so they might be shared to encourage your children at a time we most need encouraging. Help me to speak boldly for You in the days to come and to never give up the hope that I have in You!
Yes! Yes! The Spirit has been prompting me to fast with my prayers! I truly believe we are in the last days! The Word declares that God gets no pleasure with the death of anyone, not even the wicked! My God, may I be found trustworthy to carry Your word to our congregation! Praise God for this prophetic word!
Great encouraging word! As our church is ready to embark on a 6 week special time of prayer, reading the word and fasting from some media as well as food, we look forward to the Lord moving mightily is us and others. We are expecting growth-spiritually and in numbers. And best of all, my husband and I are going to She Leads American in DC Oct 1& 2. We will be honoring Christian women leaders and on Sat giving back our nation to the Lord at the Lincoln Memorial. Many leaders are coming from Alveda King to the leader of National Day of Prayer. Info is on Facebook. Join us! God bless you all!
For over a week now, I have been experiencing renewed freedom to testify about our wonderful Lord Jesus. It is such a joy to tell about Him! One opening is to ask, “Have you see the program “The Chosen?” Also, one of our Pastors recently said to not make far horizon decisions based on current conditions.
I am so grateful for this word of encouragement, yes as my heart too has been so broken in fact it’s heavier than I’ve ever experienced in my life! But God‘s word continues to encourage and build up my faith even when sometimes I feel like I have none! Thank you Lord Jesus Christ the lover of my soul, the deliverer of my country, my family and myself! thank you Lord Jesus! honor and glory to your holy precious name!
Thank you Lord for this word of encouragement. Yes Lord we do not know what to do but our eyes are upon you. 2 Chron 20:12
I found this prayer uplifting. I am a Christian, conservative senior citizen and have been praying and fasting for eight months and have seen more evil in the last eight months than in my lifetime. However, I believe the what the Bible says and that King Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father and will come again to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end. I will not let the fallen one and his minnows affect my faith. I will continue to fast and pray, believing that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are working to establish “thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” All praise, honor and glory be given to King Jesus!
Yes, and AMEN!
All of it is so amazing!
I think many intercessors have grown weary and it is time to refocus,remember our creator who is still desiring that His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, and through your prayers!
I see where more could rise up in prayer, spiritual warfare!
This is how the enemy loses it power. Mention the name of Jesus,and the enemy flees.
It is time to hang in there in prayer. God is not looking for fancy prayers, it is more the attitude of your heart, although prayer strategy is important.
There is a war going on in the heavenlies,join in the fight.
Conformation is good however,God does not always speak the same things to each one of us, each of us may carry a different piece of the puzzle.
As I prayed this prayer, along with my brothers and sisters, I felt the power of the Spirit and tears began to fall, God’s presence is with His people, I feel it, we have His power in us, He will overcome, stand strong!
Thank you for sharing this encouraging post. I will be sharing with my intercessory prayer group this morning.
This really spoke to my heart, I’m posting this through tears of joy. I love you Abba!
Thank you Lord for speaking thru these God-loving intercessors. Such words of wisdom
inspiring us to remain hopeful and trust you Lord with all our being. I will intentionally seek opportunities to share the good news about Jesus with others, with prayers for discernment on how best to approach each person based on their receptiveness at that time. I will unceasingly pray with fervor for humanity to lean on you, Abba, always and for those separated from you to turn back to you. Lord, help me meet people where they are at but to also allow you to speak/act thru me to share the gospel and use words when necessary. I will specifically pray to hear these words from the Lord, “Have compassion on them; I do. But, do not try to “prop up” their falling walls and houses. Do not try to repair their foundations built on sand; it is futile. Rather, let the collapses happen and then discern My Spirit on their receptiveness for My Kingdom; give them the Kingdom, not “band-aids.” God bless all of you. Now let us all go forth to spread the goodness of God.
Yes, these prophetic words confirm what I have been hearing from other well known prophets for September-November. God is moving & working to repair our broken country & the world He made.
Thank you for the two encouraging words! I take them to heart.
Thank you for sharing these prophetic words of encouragement, they truly resonate with my heart. Betsy and Jamie thank you for being obedient in sharing the words you receive. Let us all be found faithful to take heed and be encouraged that our Father IS on the throne, He IS doing a new thing and He IS well able to use us to accomplish His will if we will humble ourselves repent and seek His face. There is NO FEAR in Love ( Abba is love) because perfect Love casts out fear. Father May we all be found faithful, give us ears to hear and hearts to obey when You speak, please don’t allow me to miss any opportunity You set before me Holy Spirit, You make me bold and brave, draw others to me through Your grace and when I open my mouth let my words be Your words🙏🙏
I am so encouraged that Abba Father is perfecting all things concerning His saints. The world is so messed up but we know Who has the victory. Preach and fast.
Yes, my soul forth agree. Our God is speaking loudly. Will we hear an echo or His voice. Blessings & Amen!
I believe and agree that fresh opportunities to speak and pray with all the people around us, even those who’ve rejected our words in the past, will present themselves this month of September. All we need to do is be willing to speak, and God’s power through our words THIS MONTH will bring breakthrough! John 3, Romans 10, Acts 2, just share the basics and mix it with love and your own testimony and I sense there is going to be a dramatic increase of interest this coming season. It’s our neighbors, our families, our community- God is preparing hearts to receive the “Good News”. We just have to be willing to share it! This next great Awakening will be the result of one-on-one sharing mixed with our faith and prayers for those around us. Let’s step out of our comfort zone and believe that one touch can make the difference!!
Amen & Amen
Lord we trust you and seek to obey.
