UPCOMING GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE
UPCOMING GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE
Pray that the sign in the heavens placed there by the almighty hand of God will produce a humbling spirit in the hearts of men and women everywhere.
“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.” (Ps 34:7-9)
On August 21, 2017, America will experience a total solar eclipse whose trajectory is exclusive to the United States. This has not occurred since 1776. Scientists, astronomers, news reporters, and the average person are awaiting this unique image in the skies. Camp sites in the western states have been reserved for months to ensure the first glimpses of this phenomena. The Red Cross is even being mobilized in some states.
There is much prophetic buzz right now about this eclipse that starts at 12:05 Eastern time in Salem, Oregon. People are wondering and praying about events that could occur while the eclipse stretches across the country for four hours and 29 minutes, until finally being visible in Charleston, South Carolina. Below you will find links to various resources to aid you in inquiring of the Lord for yourself about these issues. We have also compiled some prayer points for you to use.
One thing is certain: our adversary takes every opportunity to deceive. This sign in the sky is perfect fodder for those who worship creation to give “praise” to their false god. Occultists who look to the sky for direction will enter into deep levels of deception with attempts to release negative supernatural powers on this day. Those of us with a biblical worldview understand that the one who wishes to destroy us only has influence when people willfully give him and his demonic army permission. Let’s pray for God and His army to combat and defeat any destructive supernatural forces that may work on August 21. (By David Kubal, President/CEO Intercessors for America.

Prayer Points for the Great American Eclipse:
- Pray that this event would draw everyone’s attention to the one and only True God who made the heavens and the earth (Ps 19:1-4; Rom 1:20).
- Pray that the wonder and awe of God would displace any fear of the unknown (Is 24:19).

Lord, in your word a solar eclipse is a sign the bible speaks of. Traditionally Rabbi’s have seen them as signs of judgement on the Gentiles. Lord God, i also notice that its path is over the states that voted for our President (Oregon very nearly brought in a conservative Gov who is a Doctor in the last governor election, Salem is largely conservative). Lord God, you said that judgement starts with the church, and Lord if you have a message in this eclipse for your people, only those who oppose that which you oppose and stand for what you stand would be able to understand it. Lord God, bring your church to repentance, draw congregations to pray and fast, open up our understanding to know the days in which we live. Cause we your people to know who we are in You, and who You are in us. In Jesus name, Amen
The Word of God is defiantly going to come to pass even the commas and dots. Trust in the LORD in all thy ways and lean not on our own understanding, in all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our path!
Lord God, i thank you for our Sister Anne who is like her father before her, a voice calling out in the wilderness of our countries worldliness “repent”. Lord God i pray that we Christians would take seriously this sign you are giving and repent, and give ourselves fully over to the will of the Father. Lord God, help us to bind the spirit of fear and look with loving eyes on what you our Father are doing. Should Earthquakes and other calamities accompany this phenomena i pray you would have your way in the hearts of men and that in their trial they would call out to you and know that you hear them. Call out your evangelists Lord, and help us all to be ready with an answer to anyone who asks us about the hope that we have in You. In Jesus name, Amen

Give Your people (children) peace and protect. Those who don’t know you well salvation and those who don’t know how good You are and go astray, guide with Your Truth, in Jesus name! Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O yet of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying , what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that yet have need of all these things. But seek yet first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth spraketh. Thy words were founf, and I did eat them; and Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine hearts: for I called by Thy name, O Lord God of hosts. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hearth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. There shall no evil befall the, neither shall any plague come nigh Thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over the, to keep the in all Thy ways. Lord, I give You all the stories and so call “facts” about the eclipse that is contrary to Your Word. Malachite 3:5 So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me, says the Lord Almighty. In Jesus name!
2nd Chronicles 7:14
Grace & ability to perform the command given:
Septuagint Bible:
When my people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray to Me and seek my Favor, and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins, and heal their land.
• When my people: we Christians need to take responsible, and be accountability for the world conditions, the unsaved can’t see, and can’t really pray. As the church we are the plumb line in the sand, and the moral compass that moves the universe seen and unseen.
• Who are called by My name: if you are recognized by the unsaved, and they call you personally a Christian, then you have passed the first requirement to be ready to move on. An excellent beginning is to fellowship (do not forsake the assembling together), in a “free church”; that is to have Jesus as the head of your church, and not the state as is the outcome of a 501C3 corporation church. God Almighty says my name not “doing business as”, as a free church Jesus can run it. 2,000 years ago the early church had to fight being a Roman corporation, and many died, because of the refusal to be a state corporation.
• Humble themselves: Stop grieving the Holy Spirit. There is a shift here in ability, where you can receive grace to move on to the next command to pray [1 Peter 5:5 God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble]. Your soul at this point has to realize it can’t do anything spiritual except come to the end of itself, give up and cry out to God Almighty; your soul can stop blocking the Spirit from receiving; it can open up to the heart & confess from a connection to the spirit; Ps 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. In other words repent of your personal sins, not someone else’s sins.
• Pray to Me: (Not just pray, but move into the next phase toward Renaissance, pray to God Almighty directly), You can & need to be persistent “ask & keep asking, then progress to seek & keep seeking, and finally knock & keep knocking!” [Ps 34:17 (The righteous) cried, and Jehovah heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.]; you are beginning to stop your suppressing & denial of the truth here. Judging others is also an attempt of the soul to create it’s own justification, and bypass Jesus’ work on the cross, by comparative self righteousness.
• Seek My Favor: Under the new covenant Heb… tells us “Come boldly to the throne of Favor/Grace”. Here you can draw near God Almighty [Ps 37:4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.]; you can now begin hearing what God Almighty wants you to pray, especially about yourself, and not just what your soul desires to pray; before this you were caught up in soul worship (guilt, shame, condemnation, unworthiness, embarrassment, self pity, self absorbed, pity party, introverted), you were self reliant & unable to repent & turn to God. Instantly turning to God instead of self will bring you to the place of overcoming [past obedience & surrender]. The spirit of fear of relying on God kept you in a different kingdom, instead of completely in the kingdom of light.
• Turn from their evil ways: After seeking God’s Favor you now have drawn close enough to turn from your flesh, the world, & the devil [James 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.], we see being subject to God is the step that allows you the strength to resist the Devil, without the nearness of God Almighty you can’t resist the devil.
• I will hear from heaven: you have now broken through the brass heavens, & your prayers are now being head, & you are actually repenting from your heart/spirit, & not just your soul or mind; your heat is opening up to God & man; your realizing your error; and your not blocking, or distracting from the truth anymore. Now, is the time to: Ps 32:6 pray to You in a time when You may be found.
• Forgive their sins: As you draw near God Almighty, & experience the grace of Jesus offers, you will begin to forgive God & all others you have judged including yourself; now God can remove the tormentors & forgive you, so that you can be sanctified [Matt 18:32-35
32 Then his lord called him unto him, and said to him, you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you sought me:
33 shouldn’t you also have had mercies on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.].
• Heal their land: at this place what you have now bound on earth is also bound in the heavens, the “prince of the power of the air” is helpless, because as Jesus said, “he has nothing in Me”; the principalities & powers are defeated, along with the world rulers, and God Almighty will begin building His kingdom! The unsaved will now begin feeling the power of God Almighty & healing will be normal, evil will flee the country, because the conviction of God is to strong.
• At this point, God has judged His house, and can begin judgment on the world “1 Peter 4:17
17 For the time (is come) for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if (it begin) first at us, what (shall be) the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? ASV”; God has done what He promised in scripture” Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. ASV”
FYI…I cannot open the link for the Teshuvah Sacred Assembly. My computer is blocking a “Back door plug in” Not sure if that is happening to anyone else. I am not technically knowledgable, so not sure if it is important to you or not. 🙂
