I Prayed

Dear Intercessor,
I feel led to write you to encourage you for the days ahead. I have a sense that we are about to enter tumultuous times. I write to you to warn you and encourage you to continue to intercede, despite the circumstances. You likely feel weary from the battle; I personally hit the wall this week, but we must pray for supernatural strength.
I am not sure all of you may be able to relate to this, but being athletic all my entire life (even still compete in Crossfit competitions in my mid-fifties) I have learned many lessons. It is in the final reps, when you are completely exhausted and have nothing left, where you see your gains. In a way, all of the reps before, all the work, all the sweat before the final set of exercises, were only to prepare you for the gains you receive in these final moments.
I sense this is where we are as a community of intercessors. All of the prayer, all of the intercession, all of the strength and energy is bringing us to the point where we will see the “gains.”
In the midst of this foreboding sense, I received a text from a leader in the U.S. Church, a major leader in the prayer ministry movement and probably a name you would recognize. The message contained a prophetic dream sent to him. Here it is:
“I dreamed the morning of October 30 that you (the prayer ministry leader) were leading a team on a rafting trip. The inflatable boat had a ballot box in it and we were headed to deliver it to the President. You informed us just around the bend was severe white water, but we could navigate it. We rounded the bend and the white water was more violent than any I have ever seen. You asked me to secure the ballot box so that it was not lost overboard. You instructed the others to tie themselves in the boat, as we must complete this course together. Deep intercession began to come out of our innermost parts…we prayed to the Angel Armies to get us through these dire straights. As a deep level of tongues began to come forth, we saw upon the river bank, which was high like a canyon, the cloud of witnesses cheering us on. The Angel Armies surrounded and steadied the raft. We rounded the third bend and the water become much faster, but as smooth as glass. We could see the President’s helicopter on the bank of river. He sent military brilliance, congressional brilliance, and constitutional brilliance to retrieve the ballot box. President Trump never exited the helicopter but stood in the door and saluted you and us. He then pointed up into the sky and folded his hands as in prayer. He smiled and gave a thumbs up. He then flew away. We remained and began to pray deeply…”
This prophetic picture warns us that rough waters are coming, maybe rougher than we have yet seen. There will be twists and turns, then as we turn the final bend, the momentum of the victory will speed up and smooth out. Tie yourself to the boat, we will get through this.

Bless you and strengthen you and keep you. Glory to God! Jesus is Lord!
Interesting, because POTUS appears to be far from intimate with God. His behavior is very disturbing. God can use anyone he can even cause the rocks to cry out but that doesn’t mean they are not still a rock. Humility doesn’t appear to be one of his traits.
AMEN and thank you so much for sharing this.
These are the times as the scriptures proclaim “we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against the principalities In High placeses’.
Yes, yes we intersession prayer people believe this vision(dream) is from God and we will
repent and see the waters settle down. Barb
Thank you for this word of encouragement. I found so much comfort in rereading this over the course of the last few days. With the media pumping up Biden as the winner, I realize we are now deep in the middle of the white water as described in the prophetic dream. It’s so encouraging to know that God is in control and we will come out victorious in the end. Stay the course and do not get discouraged! I bless everyone who is praying for justice for all the voters and to deliver the victory to God’s choice.
I inferred from the part in the dream where it says ” out of OUR innermost parts and “deep level of tongues”, that after that happened we were “cheered on” and then the ” Angel Armies” began to work on OUR behalf. This sounds like to me that we should be praying in the Spirit, in tongues. With a sense and consciousness of unity and oneness by saying ” Father thank you for the Spirit of Your Son and we are One IN HIM. Please Holy Spirit give me an utterance to come in agreement with others in the Body Of Christ. Your Beloved Church” Amen
As I read about what you dreamed, I have never felt such intense worry and being angry at what our Amazing President is going through. I have been praying constantly and asking God, Hashem, to protect our fearless Leader and give him the Strength, and Power to Succeed and be our President for 4 more years. I ask God to perform his Miracles at this time and to bring Justice to the evil doers, the ones that lost their light and belief in God. I have a deep faith that God is not done. He is the most Powerful and Our Maker. I keep donating to help our Republican Party to keep our Representatives in office. We must all in unison Pray and give thanks to God for taking over the situation. Goodness must prevail. Amen
Lord Almighty, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, rich in mercy and love, we thank you for hearing us in our humble state, agreeing that we are sinners in need of forgiveness. Please receive our confession and repentance on our own behalf and that of our country, which has strayed far from you. Our hope is not in our own righteousness, but in that of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that it is the blood of Jesus that justifies us before your throne – nothing else. It is because of our confidence in your love and willingness to forgive that we look to you alone for deliverance. Just as King Jehoshaphat declared “our eyes on on you” (II Chronicles 20:12)
Yes, where there is faith there is no need for fear! We MUST remember our God is still in control and always will be. Our days are eternally secure with Jesus in a new heaven and a new earth. satin and all his followers days are numbered then they will be sent to roast in hell for all eternity.
Lord God, thank you that we have you to fight our battles. Your word says no evil will conquer us and no plague will come by my home. I pray that our enemies like in Corinthians 2:20 will destroy each other in the battle. The Jewish people did not need to fight but to watch that salvation of the Lord.
My prayer is also – Elisha prayed that his servant would see the armies of angels surrounding the city. God opened his eyes and he realized he had overlooked these mighty invisible beings. Amen!
Thank you so very much for this encouraging word. Thank you for all that you do for holding the intercessors together ” in the boat”. I pray that God will continue to awaken His church to bring more to join us. I pray that the God of Angel Armies will Fight for us and His name’s sake. Please still the waters quickly, Jehovah Shalom, Our Peace.
Heavenly Father, I pray for protection and discernment for all Your children, as You have directed me to do. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen
We live in the midst of spiritual warfare and the prophetic prayer you shared is just one of the warnings received by folks. Keep praying .
Thank you so very much for this encouraging word. Thank you for all that you do for holding the intercessors together ” in the boat”.

I really needed this today. Thank you so much for sharing.
We praise You for You, O Lord, are King. You are robed in majesty. Indeed the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. Your throne, O Lord, has stood from time immemorial. You yourself are from the everlasting past. The floods of discord and discontent, anger, violence and defiance of hatred and blindness to truth and justice have risen up all around us. They have roared like thunder in their self importance and arrogance, in their lies and deceitful schemes, politically correct agendas, rampant sexual immorality and the fight for the on-going murder of innocent children through abortion. They have lifted their pounding waves against all we know to be right, just and decent. . against the truth of your Word. BUT. . You, O Lord, are mightier than these raging floodwaters surrounding us. . .You are mightier than these breakers against the very fabric of our nation. Your royal laws cannot be changed. . . Your foundations stand firm forever. Your reign, O Lord, is Holy forever and forever. Amen
(Psalm 93)
I was just going to post this Psalm! Thank you and Amen and Amen!
Amen! We will get through this in the name of Jesus!
Amen!
Father in Heaven, Thank You for your protection, guidance, strength and this land. Father forgive our Nation’s sin, we have allowed the death of infants and called it abortion; we have alienated you from our houses of worship, we have allowed the union of marriage between one man and one woman to be seen as an alternative lifestyle, we have worship Money and Entertainment. WE HAVE TAKEN YOU OUT OF OUR SCHOOL, ARENAS OF PRAYERS, THE WHITE HOUSE AND HOUSES OF CONGRESS. We have taken your name ” GOD”, out of the pledge of allegiance and stood silent, allowing moral decay from within bringing us to ruin. Father, I pray for your grace and forgiveness, for there are Faithfull followers and godly people, still in our Nation. In Jesus name, I pray….Amen
Amen!
And, Father, we have self righteously pointed fingers at our elected, and appointed, officials, murmuring and complaining (which you hate), because they did not do what WE wanted, rather than compassionately lifting them into your care, praying for their protection against the insidious onslaught of evil endlessly facing them, and being their Aron and Hur to stand in the evil day, in Your strength alone. Please forgive us, Father.
Daniel 6 is so RELEVANT to the 21st century! Almighty God, I exalt your WORD. It is timeless.
Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”
Wow! This could be said about our dear President Trump. His enemies have tried to find grounds for charges against him but have been unable to do so because he is trustworthy and is neither corrupt nor negligent. Now we ask, O God, that you would glorify your name in this election. That you would save President Trump from the lions who seek to devour him. Shut the mouths of the liars, Lord. Silence those who bear false witness against him continually! Show the American people what a good heart he has, a heart of love and patriotism, a generous heart that seeks to lift others up. A heart that has turned to YOU. May the arrows of his enemies miss their mark. May Angel Armies and Intercessors be ever on the walls shooting arrows at the Enemy. Christ has died, Christ is risen, and CHRIST WILL COME AGAIN!
‘Amen!
Luke 1:37 With God, all things are possible. The Lord will fight for us! …
Psalm 108: 13 Through our God we shall do valiantly. It is HE who will tread down our enemies.
Intercessors: Now is the time to stay encouraged to KEEP PRAYING!!! Do not give up! We need to rally the troops (of intercessors) to fight this battle on our knees! Let us continue to cry out “Lord, have mercy on America!”..
Dear God, please let President Trump be declared the winner of the Presidential race tomorrow. Let there be a DECISIVE, SWIFT VICTORY, sweeping every state without question. We ask ALMIGHTY GOD to thwart, silence and confuse any wicked schemes of the enemy. HE IS ABLE. HE IS MERCIFUL & HEARS OUR PRAYERS!
We can ask great things, because HE is a great God!
Yes, Amen!
It may look like we’re surrounded, but we’re surrounded by God

Brothers and sister win Christ, we must sing songs of praise, out loud when we are faced with attack. The enemy HATES our praises to our LORD and we must put on the full armor of God described in Ephesians chapter 6. Seeking to use the shield of faith, “which you will be able to quench ALL THE FIERY DARTS of the wicked one.” And finally speak His word out loud.
Amen! Read the story of Jehoshaphat. There was a huge confederation of armies that were coming against Judah. This was his response:
“So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 21And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:
“Praise the Lord,
For His mercy endures forever.”
What follows is the result of the people trusting God and GOING FORTH TO BATTLE PRAISING HIM:
“Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 23For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they [e]had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.”
The armies were DESTROYED. The only weapon the people of God had to use was PRAISE! Let the praises of our mouth be the sword in our hands Church!
Yes, the Lord showed me that this year we praise to combat the enemy using Jehoshaphat as an example.
2 Chr 20 is one of my very favorite chapters in the whole Bible!
We can enter His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise!
and He inhabits our praise!
…can’t get any closer than that!

WOW: What’s up with Pennsylvania–The KEYSTONE STATE prophetically? What is a keystone??
http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=24506
Chris Reed 10/22/2020 This goes along with the 1 from Charlie Shamp
Pennsylvania, The nation is looking to you!!
https://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=24486
Please check out these 2 prophetic words.
As intercessors, we are on assignment until we go home. In some respects, I believe that the battle for our nation will grow more intense. We dare not relax and “rest on our laurels” I don’t know that the devil will go easily or quietly out of this nation, the United States of America. God established her and He will keep her but we must do our part, the assignment He has given to us.
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!! May we be the light, His light to the world once again!!
Amen! Resonates very strongly with me. Praying for Pennsylvania and key cities – Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia – will look up others
God just gave me scriptures and I did not know where to turn to share them, then He reminded me to come here. I have been on a fast from all meat since November 2019 praying for our country and our President. Through the past few months, my fast has become deeper as the election draws near. Now, today God gave me these scriptures and I want to share them with you from 2 Chron Chapter 20:
v3-4: “Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from the other side of the Dead Sea. It is already in Hazezon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi). Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him.”
v11: “See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance. Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
v14: Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite and descendant of Asaph, as he stood in the assembly.
v15 He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
vs17-22: You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you. Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord. Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for his love endures forever.”
As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.”
Thank you for standing in prayer and fasting for I know God is telling us the enemy will come, but as we pray, fast and praise together the enemy will be defeated in Jesus Name. Thank you for a place to come to pray and stand in agreement. I pray for our churches and church leadership to awaken to what is happening around us.
Praise God Joy! I just read this story last night and just posted it in the comments above! God is FAITHFUL and is confirming His word to his servants in these dark times.
“Praise renders the enemy powerless”.
Yes Jesus, Amen!
Thank You so much Joy for sharing these scriptures with us. It so encouraged me.
God Bless You and all Believers as we lift up the Name of the Lord by Praising Him for His goodness and mercy. I will be praying and fasting and praising our GOD. 💕🙏
Amen Melodie! I’m so happy to be amongst other praying believers during this time! This song is our battlecry: https://youtu.be/wJghcUSZyK4
Joy, It just struck me as I read it: “Give thanks to the Lord,
for his love endures forever.” As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes….
Not His MIGHT, not His POWER, not His MAJESTY – but FOR His LOVE!
HALLELUJAH!
Our God, our Banner, our Deliverer, and Protector, our Fortress, our Refuge, and Strength is SUCH an Encourager!
Who is like Him – FULL of grace and truth, and Trustworthy! …not only yesterday, but today, and tomorrow!
Thanks for sharing this message. “God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.”- Psalm 46
I started the day feeling I was in hurricane winds blowing in the Spirit.The Lord led me to dry, warm shelter. But as I looked out I saw lone man in rain gear in the waist high flood waters. But I knew there was a high speed boat and rescue crew on the way. The Lord said this man ignored the warning because he thought he had time to buy one last thing he thought he needed. But God intervened. “Let us be wise and not fools that we may live long on the earth.” 1 Corinthians 7…..
What a privilege to be here at your side, on my knees with you, praying and interceding every day. I love you and appreciate you and have learned so much from you. My prayers are deeper and stronger and filled with so much more faith.
Thank you. I am reminded that even as everything calms down and we see the Lord’s victory, we still need to intercede. We have to keep the victory!
Father we thank you that no matter how things look, you are always with us! Thank you for all the Intercessors who have faithfully held the line in prayer. Thank you for all of your dreams you’ve given to your servants to warn ,prepare and make us ready. Thank you for your angels who are sent to minister to us, protect us and watch over your word. Thank you Lord for everything. We trust you Lord! We give you glory and say Your kingdom come, your will be done in America as it is in heaven.
Joshua1:6-9. The LORD exhorts us “ be strong and very courageous “
V8. study this book of instruction continually meditate on it…obey
V9This is my command- be strong and courageous
Do not be afraid or discouraged
For The LORD your GOD is with you …..
Then Eph 2 : 10-16.and having done all STAND
LORD bless encourage and strengthen all your prayer warriors Thankyou. Amen
Father God, you are the Almighty Creator. You created everything out of nothing. Your power is beyond our comprehension. But you have assured us that you are as close as our next breath and will never leave us.
Father God, Adonai, thank you for being a God of love, mercy and forgiveness. We repent for our actions, thoughts and words which are not pleasing to you. We repent for the complacency and lack of boldness that has led to the problems in our nation.
We pray for your wisdom, strength and courage to continue to stand against the constant evil and demonic spirits bombarding us and trying to weaken our resolve and intercession.
I have personally felt the demonic spirits attacking, making it difficult to keep my thoughts focused on the battle for the One True God, Elohim. If I feel overwhelmed with these attacks, I revert to very simple and familiar prayers, that I can recite. It helps to pray through these attacks in any way, and ask for the Holy Spirit to pray for you and with you.
Romans 8:26…the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
How amazing is that? Our living God, knowing our heart, will pray through us and for us. Let us strengthen our resolve to pray more not less! The Holy Spirit will help us.
Rejoice brothers and sisters! We are covered with the blood of our precious Jesus…even to helping us pray! HALLELUJAH…Amen and Amen
Father God we keep our eyes on you the “boat “ as we move in prayer toward the finish line. Father strengthen and pour out grace to your church as we continue in the battle. Thank you King Jesus that the increase of your government there shall be no end.
Lord Jesus, no matter what happens- and only You know the future-you have already been there, we know that You are still in control. This is what matters. We can trust in You for these upcoming days, just as we have trusted in You and made it this far in life.We thank and praise You that You are mightier and stronger over our enemy. Thanks to your completed work on the cross, we can take authority in prayer, and negate satan’s best efforts to kill, steal, and destroy. We bind the influence of the devil and his minions over any and all aspects of our society. We loose the mighty power of heaven, the loving power of the Holy spirit, and the God of Angel Armies to combat the best efforts of the enemy. Satan cannot, and will not, succeed when faced with the awesome, unlimited power of Jesus combatting him!
We have the victory, in the name of the Lord! But beyond the reelection of the president, we ought to press on in prayer for revival! Revival is the most important need of our generation!
Praise Jesus Amen
Father God:
Thank You for this morning. Thank YOU for who YOU ARE FATHER. Thank You for the privilege to pray. Forgive us if we doubt sometimes. Let us FOCUS on YOU not on the tumultuous.
Tomorrow is the election day finally. Thank you for MAGA2020 Landslide Victory. All the glory is YOURS Father. Only YOU CAN DEFEAT DC Deep State; Media; Billionaires; Tech Giants and said I TOLD YOU SO to them all. Because YOU created us all and ONLY YOU ARE able to make right what was wrong.
All I’m asking, please, from now on, please help us to stick to TRUTH (JESUS is the WAY, TRUTH and LIFE) and promote TRUTH without budging or giving in to politically correct.
Please send YOUR angels to harness those who intend to harm or instill fear in people. Protect all the USA from city, county and states, PEACE be to all. Protect all of us who call YOU, FATHER. May YOUR blessing and YOUR FACE shines upon us who call YOU, FATHER.
In Jesus name, we pray that YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. Amen.
Thank you for the encouragement! My brother had pneumonia, went to the hospital, was sent home, received JESUS as LORD, and caught pneumonia again. Went back to the hospital and this time they found a black mass on his lungs and brain. The first time nothing was there. After he prayed and got saved, within two weeks a mass was diagnosed! Such is the devil’s workings. I have been praying for a covid-19 attacked nephew since he was hospitalized on March 29. He is still in rehab to re-learn the things that weakened while on the ventilator. Also my nephew got saved after coming off the ventilator. Through all of this I have been praying daily for our President, and today I have been feeling weak because of the many prayer needs. Thank you so much for reminding me of the need to keep on praying until GOD gives the victory and release! During times like these I just get on my knees and get refreshed by our HOLY SPIRIT!! FATHER GOD help us to not give up in well-doing because we will reap if we faint not in JESUS MIGHTY Name!!!! Amen!!!
I pray for God’s healing and protection over your family members. Lord give us strength to persevere and trust in your goodness to come forth in all our circumstances. In Jesus name. Amen.
Lord God, Your power is beyond measure and You’re sovereign over all things. Strengthen us and grant us wisdom, endurance and encouragement for the challenges ahead. We pray that many will repent and return to You and that others will accept the precious and priceless gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ! we love You. Thank You for covering us with the blood of Jesus. Thank You for offering us eternal life and the inheritance of Christ! Thank You for sending Your Angel Army to defend and protect Your children! Praise be to You, Almighty, Everlasting and Eternal Lord who was and is and is to come! In Jesus Name we pray!
“…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 will heal their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14 MEV
Dear Lord, we pray: Revive and resuscitate the living word of our U.S. Constitution. We bring it to your altar, God- a living sacrifice in need of your resurrection power! It is the source of the “west-running brook” called the United States of America, a country contrary to all that came before it, that was birthed out of Your wisdom given to our founding fathers by divine inspiration. Oh God, restore to us the discarded values of our country’s firm foundation, and truly make us “…one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and Justice for all”; Amen!
God Bless America!!
