I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray that America and Your church would rededicate themselves to You.
Reading Time: 5 minutes

Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were young, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you (Ezekiel 16:60 NLT).

The promise and call of God on our nation is without repentance. It stands resolute, calling to those who will hear. Come and partner in faith for the restoration and renewal of the Lord’s kingdom covenant purpose for the United States of America.  The ring is a symbol of covenant that we will visit through scripture and historic events to see and hear the voice of the Lord speaking over our nation.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

In fall 2025, in prayer, I saw a vision of a ring of fire accompanied by an arrow tipped with fire. As I took this to the Lord in further prayer and study, I saw the original Hebrew, beriti, for covenant in Strongs 1285 refers, among other powerful word pictures, to an alliance of marriage, a friendship, and an agreement from God to man.

This year, with all of its volatility, I believe the Lord is issuing an open, compelling invitation to see a renewal and renaissance of his covenant promises over our nation. God is calling his friends, those in a purposeful covenant relationship with him, to arise with new zeal, new fire, to see the prophetic promises over this nation come full circle. The ring itself is a symbol of endurance and fulfillment of promise. What is the Lord encouraging us to see in this time of renewal and activation?

Let us look back in history to the iconic moment in 1607 at Jamestown, Virginia, that shaped faith and purpose for our nation. At that moment when courageous settlers, led by Robert Hunt, staked the territory with a wooden cross for the glory of God, I believe the powers of darkness trembled, and the angelic host stood at attention. This first protestant Christian pastor in the New World established and covenanted with God, this land,  for the proclamation and expansion of the gospel throughout the earth.

This fiery ring is a reminder of the Holy Spirit’s seal of promise over the United States. When spiritual and governmental leaders take their place of authority and boldly proclaim truth in the fear of the Lord, the Holy Spirit witnesses and brings signs and wonders to establish that promise in actuality(Eph.1:14, 2Cor.1:21). The fire and breath of the Spirit of God have brought awakening after awakening throughout our nation’s history to focus the church on God’s heart and purpose for this country.

Once again, the ekklesia, God’s church and voice, is being called to rise above the chaos of lies through Marxism and liberalism to speak truth. There is a loud voice from heaven, even a voice similar to that of John the Baptist, shouting to the church to arise, be unhinged from lesser things, and devote life, energy, and breath to agree with God over our United States of America. The voice of the church, the intercessors must be heard and must agree with God’s covenant promises from scripture and history.

The fire-tipped arrow in the vision last fall speaks of the voice, the voice of the Lord spoken from the church.  This fiery anointed voice cannot be stopped as we purposefully agree with God in this kairos moment of our nation’s 250th birthday year. We echo the words of John 1:23, “John replied in the words of the prophet Isaiah: ‘I am a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Clear the way for the Lord’s coming!’ The word ‘shouting’ in that scripture, in Strongs 994, refers to a piercing summons; a loud, decisive, divine intervention. Let the true church arise and shout the decree: This nation is the Lord’s, and her divine destiny will be fulfilled!

As John the Baptist stood in the wilderness of Judea, in 26AD,  and called all to come and walk in the path of the Lamb of God, let us do the same. In 2026, two thousand years later, let the loud authoritative voice of scripture and historic decrees be heard over the chaos of violence and lies so prevalent in our land.  Remember the voice of Elisha to his servant,  “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” (2 Kings 6:16 NLT).

The ring of promise, authority, and fire, along with the arrow of the voice, raised together with God’s logos word and historic proclamations, is a powerful picture to set this nation in alignment with heaven (Esther 8:2, Ps.7).  Intercessors let us boldly take this assignment, welcome the movement of God’s Holy Spirit fire, and rededicate ourselves with uncommon resolve to speak and act so that revival, renaissance, and reclamation of God’s sovereign hand and divine destiny on these fifty states and our nation can be realized this historic year.

Pray and Act:

Declaration by Robert Hunt, April 29, 1607

We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains and may this land, along with England, be evangelists to the world. May all who see this cross remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and this most noble work, that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled. From these very shores the gospel shall go forth, not only to this new world, but the entire world.

Decree: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations (Psalm 22:27-28).

Decree: The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord rings from His temple. We, the church, cry out for people, leaders, and institutions to return to the Lord and acknowledge His greatness and hand on our nation (Daniel 2:21, Psalm 47:8, 1 Samuel 7:3).

This is confirmation… Late December 2025, the LORD gave me the WORD for 2026 of COVENANT. Those of us in Christ Jesus King Yeshua are in Covenant with Almighty GOD. Those coming against our Nation and wanting to destroy our way of life are NOT in Covenant with Almighty GOD. He reminded me of King David coming against Goliath. David knew and lived in Covenant with GOD… Goliath did not . And David knew he would run toward the enemy in the Name of the LORD and Victory would be his. Let us call upon our Covenant with GOD and expect Victory in Jesus’ Name. There is so much more, but I will just say, Thank you for your encouraging and anointed article!

We need to pray for God’s people the CHURCH before we pray for a national revival. May Almighty God revive his people, revive the USA and save us from empty hype and drama falsely labeled as “revival”

2 Timothy 4: 1-5 I charge you, therefore before God, and tge Lord Jesus Christ, who shall. judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom;
Preach the word, ; be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers , having itchy ears.And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned into fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions , do tge the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal , that they are endowed by their God, Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!!!
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, God, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor!!!
Jesus gave US, America!! To do, act, be God’s will!!
If anything, anybody, any ” other ” government has come into America to destroy, kill, steal, God’s plan, May Jesus crush, kill, destroy those plans, ideas, etc. NOW!! in Jesus’s name Amen

All else in our lives, in this world, is as dross, dung, and waste compared to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and serving Him, the King of Glory.
He has come in His glory and declared “It is finished!” The power of sin and Death has been broken, the eternal life for those who seek to “know Him” (Phil. 3) will give His power and authority to those of us who walk with Him.
His kingdom has come and is in this world—every believer in Christ is an heir and an ambassador to finish the work of establishing His kingdom on this earth, as it is in heaven—and His kingdom will reign for eternity without end.
