Intercessor, July is a special month. Did you know that two states have dedicated this month to prayer and fasting?

Both Tennessee and Louisiana have decided to dedicate this month to prayer. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry announced this for his state at the beginning of July, issuing a proclamation. In this proclamation, he called “upon the people of Louisiana to come together during the month of July in a season of prayer and fasting, seeking God’s blessing, protection, and wisdom for our state and our nation.”
You can read his proclamation in the embedded post below:
Meanwhile, as we’ve covered previously, Tennessee State Representatives Mark Pody and Monty Fritts introduced House Joint Resolution 51 earlier this year. The bill, signed into law by Governor Bill Lee in early May, establishes July as a month of prayer and fasting that will be celebrated annually. This comes after Tennessee dedicated July 2024 to prayer and fasting.
Representative Fritts discussed his and Representative Pody’s legislation on an IFA webcast in April. You can watch that webcast below:
These are not, however, the only states honoring the Lord in prayer. Texas also recently declared July 6 as a Day of Prayer. Governor Greg Abbott issued the proclamation in response to the devastating Independence Day floods, writing, “I urge Texas of all faiths and religious traditions and backgrounds to offer prayers on that day for the healing of individuals, safety of our first responders and public safety officers, rebuilding of communities, and restoration of the region struck by this disaster.”

As more and more communities dedicate time to prayer, it’s important to remember what the Scripture says in 2 Chronicles 7:14. In this passage, the Lord says, 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, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
The people in these states and communities are turning to the Lord. Let’s pray they seek His face and turn from their wicked ways so that He may heal our land!

Jesus,
I pray that 2 Christian NC State Reps, Zenger and Jones will help support NC to declare July as a month of prayer and repentance . Please make a way God.
Lord forgive our sin, help us turn and follow you.
Our Heavenly Father. Thank you for the two states of Tennessee and
Louisiana that are dedicating themselves to prayer and fasting for the month
of July. May this spread like wildfire and go to all 50 states!! We need an
awakening and revival to heal this hurting land. When President Trump
had the B2 Stealth Bombs and F-35 fighter jets bomb the 3 nuclear sites
in Iran. It was a successful mission because the Intercessors for America declared
that day as a Global day of Prayer for peace. I totally believe that God had his hand in these
successful bombings and nobody was hurt and no planes got shot down. This
was an act of God because of people praying all over the World.
There’s so much to be praying about on a daily basis and God answers prayers.
Let’s all get on our knees in prayer and offer up prayers to the Throne Room of God!!
In Jesus Name. Amen and Amen!!
YHVH, please use this trend, even though it may be political, to awaken our nation to the desperate need we are in. May a spirit of humility and repentance fall on our nation. Revive the church and awaken the lost. Shake everything that can be shaken, so that what is unshakeable may remain. You alone, Yeshua are the ONLY sure and solid foundation!
Political figures are doing more than churches. Sad but true. Churches are ingrown, serving internal needs and neglecting the harvest.
Let’s pray they seek His face and turn from their wicked ways so that He may heal our land!
July 10-21st is the 100 year Anniversary of the Scopes Monkey 🐒 Trial. When Evolution and the evil decree of Eugenics was declared as Law in this Nation. All of us 🇺🇸 Americans need to be on our knees crying out to God this month for an overturning of this evil decree. And don’t forget… before 2nd Chronicles 7:14, it says that the people praying should be facing JERUSALEM God’s holy capital city of David. Then pray the prayer for their LAND.
This year is the anniversary of several unGodly events Miriam. Thank you for pointing it out! I proclaim that this is the year of divine reversals – that YHVH would reverse what is antithetical to His Sovereign will and purpose (eg. evolution and it’s resulting evils like eugenics, replacement and fulfillment theology or supercessionism, etc.). Let Truth prevail!!
To be clear Gov. Abbott did not mention Jesus or Christians or the God of Israel. Anyone praying to their god other than YHVH, the God of Israel is pointless and prayers will not be answered. This “all inclusiveness” pertaining to faith is misleading. Also Jared Kushner and Trump’s daughter are practicing Chabad Judaism, which is mysticism. Vance’s wife and Gabbard are practicing Hindus. There is only One God and He is jealous! Gov. proclamation is vague. Some of our founding fathers of USA were not Christian but Free Masons and I believe that is why our Constitution is vague and has gotten us into the trouble we have today because they were not specific about the God of the Bible. You can NOT serve two Masters. God wants us to worship Him alone! Many US politicians say they are Christian but they are of many denominations, some of them cults, and practice and believe things that are not Scriptural. There is ONLY ONE we are to pray to and call upon. Our ways are not His ways nor our thoughts His thoughts. There are ways that seem right to us but are displeasing to Him. Seek to please God alone. Know His word and obey it. Trust in Messiah alone to save you, not your good works.
Michelle, I agree with your sentiment and concerns, and have stated the same in regard to “religious freedom”. This is tricky in any form of government other than a theocracy such as that rejected by ancient Israel, when they demanded a “k”ing instead of being willing to be governed by YHVH. However, I am thankful that this indicates a move toward recognizing our dependence on God. Not all may now recognize that YHVH is the One and Only God, and any other is just a worthless idol – but praying that they will!
Father in Heaven, Thank You for godly leaders in our nation! Please, Lord, let there be godly governors, mayors, congressmen and judges in all 50 states who would dedicate themselves to You and instruct our people to pray for Your mercy & guidance in our land! We ask You to turn the fathers’ hearts to the children and the childrens’ hearts to the fathers, in Jesus’s mighty Name.
“Thank you, Lord, that these states are turning to you fasting and praying. May this sweep across our country. Bring revival throughout our land. Thank you, Jesus. Amen”
Thank you, LORD, for the obedience that has been shown to begin a road to implementation of 2 Chronicles 7:14 “…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, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Amen.
That’s GOOD because July is usually the muslim Ramadan month, when they fast for allah.
