INSIGHT FOR INTERCESSORS

NOTE: Do not share this material with those who are not of like mind; especially those who are hostile to our faith and values. There are individuals and organizations, who would like to keep this voice from speaking and from being heard. Please use Divine discernment. Thank you so much!
Shalom!!!
For those of us, who stand upon the walls of intercession, praying for the Kingdom to impact our world and its populations, it’s been quite a roller coaster ride over the past several days. Some moments have been anticipatory, some phenomenal, and some downright dreadful. Let me unpack that last sentence for you.
First, those of us, who went to Washington DC to attend THE RETURN this past weekend, were richly blessed and encouraged. Thank you for your prayers. The hours of worship, repentance, prayers, decrees, and fellowship took place without a major glitch, and without violence or protest from the opposing side. Many thousands of people attended The Return, as well as Franklin Graham’s simultaneous march from the Washington monument to the Capitol. More than 200,000 believers participated, but we may never know the actual number. It was amazing! We could very clearly feel a change in the climate and in the season of the spiritual clash between the two opposing Kingdoms. While the mayor of DC had tried to keep us out of the city, by saying that people coming from a specific list of 30 states would have to be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival, the hotels refused to enforce that demand. The sheer numbers of people coming in would have made it impossible for travelers to be monitored anyway. With that roadblock out of the way, the only thing the enemy could do was to try to make the participants very uncomfortable. An example of that was the refusal of the municipality to grant permission for an adequate number of portable toilets to be on site at the Mall where The Return was held. The smaller number of facilities caused people to wait in line for a long time. Still, it was an opportunity to converse, to meet each other, and to celebrate together what the Lord was doing through this event. That inadequate number of toilets, allotted by the DC leadership, provided facilities sorely lacking in paper and in hand sanitizer, as well as in capacity. Well before the event was over, those pottys were filled to the maximum, thus making them unusable. Any yet, the participants in the historic event stayed focused and rejoiced in the Lord. Many of the food trucks ran out of food, but the kind spirit of the believers enabled sharing. After having tourism shut down, those vendors were richly blessed by the gathering. The bottom line is this: THE LORD WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE RETURN EVENT. From the reports that I’ve been receiving from on-line viewers around the globe, it impacted the people in many nations. Praise the Lord! At one point, we even heard the thunder of YHVH’s voice three times as Jonathan Cahn was speaking. At the conclusion of the sacred assembly, the seven blasts of the shofar, and the prayers that accompanied each blast, were registered in heaven, and thus, they changed things upon the earth. VERY IMPACTFUL!!!
I would love to take the time now to tell you how the Kingdom manifested throughout the remainder of this past weekend. There were divine appointments and spiritual showdowns that were incredible. In a future message I will share what happened at the White House and at the Supreme Court on Sunday. However, right now, I need to speak into this downward rush of the roller coaster that hit us last night at the first presidential debate. It was anything BUT Presidential. We, as a Body of Messiah need to unpack and to understand what happened.
This United States general election is NOT centrally an issue of politics! It is about the rising, or the fall, of a nation according to its chosen alignment with either of the two spiritual Kingdoms … that of YHVH, or with the kingdom of satan. Honestly, we’ve never experienced anything like this before in our nation. The closest that we may have come was during the Civil War in regard to the violent division of the citizenry. The moral foundations, as well as the alliance of the nation with the purposes of good or of evil, are at stake here. I am not saying that Donald Trump is an angel and laudable in all that he says and does. I’m not saying that Joe Biden is a demon and that his running mate is a witch. The Lord alone knows the heart and the full truth about the life, the intentions, and alliances formed within each human being according to his/her inner workings/choices. YHVH alone is worthy to judge those things; determining any individual’s place in eternity. We can only see the fruit of such things. We are commanded to evaluate the fruit of a person’s words and actions, and then to run our evaluations by the Holy Spirit, to see if He agrees with our assessments. What I’m saying is that the alliances, and the empowerment of the two opposing goals and agendas for the course of this nation, are decidedly arising from two diametrically opposing camps. I sat before the Lord this morning, seeking His input about the fiasco that was aired last night … and which took place in spite of THE RETURN and in spite of many other prayers of the faithful. Countless believers came away from viewing the debate feeling shocked, slimed, angry, confused, disheartened, and feeling as if their prayers accomplished nothing. Here are some insights that were given to me this morning about this situation:
First, here is the scripture that came to me: Eph. 2:1-10 (NASB)
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the Prince of the Power of the Air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
--We have never faced this level of “in-your-face” assault by evil; coming at us through the power of the media (the “Prince of the Power of the Air’s” territory) with the intention of destroying what YHVH has put into place for His glory. This type of evil draws power from the fallen flesh, and it entices the human soul (mind and emotions) to express itself wickedly.
--This influence of darkness that is being transmitted through the airwaves and through digital signals, has great power over those, who are walking in disobedience to the Lord. That includes having power in the hearts and minds of those, who profess to be Christians, but who do not walk in the Spirit, but rather depend upon their flesh, and the media, to inform them of what is right and true.
--The emotions and the understanding/interpretations of the mind are easily manipulated by the Enemy, wherever individuals are not “reborn” and where their minds remain un-renewed. The flesh is easily manipulated to become offended, fearful, arrogant, or rageful. The mind can be spun around into confusion, illusion, delusion and distortion. Satan specializes in all that.
--Satan wants the populations to be offended, judgmental, and full of discontent so that they fall into CONTEMPT for what YHVH is doing, and toward those, whom He has chosen to carry out His plans. Therefore, satan will press on any weakness in the mind or emotions of each human being, to cause the servants of YHVH to go into a panicked spin; creating a desperation from feeling out of control, so that the one being spun tries to save himself (rather than defaulting to Divine dependency and trusting upon the Lord).
--The principality of Leviathan was the moderator and the facilitator at the debate last night. From the first minutes of the event, I could smell Leviathan’s stench and see his operations at work. It was horrible … even sickening … to see how easily he seized control over that debate. His strategy is always to grasp hold of a human weakness, to entrap, to isolate, to rip apart, to spin and to drown his victims before he devours them. Leviathan loves to see his targeted victims thrashing about creating a scene, while he is in the process of dismembering that target, and exalting his allies.
--I was praying in the Spirit through the whole debate, as were many other believers; but it didn’t seem to help at all. Why didn’t the destruction stop? Why didn’t the president keep his mouth closed, rather than continue to feel overwhelmed and responding that way? Why did Trump swallow down bite after bite of satan’s bait, in spite of our intercession? Why all the constant interruptions, demonstrating his unwillingness to abide by the time rules; speaking over the moderator and Biden to make his points? These infractions were a clear sign of what was actually going on in the spiritual realm. He was in a full Leviathan spin as a result of volumes of witchcraft being mounted against him during those 90 minutes.
--Here is a key point that I sense the Lord is making about this messy debate: Donald Trump went into this debate feeling confident in his own abilities, while never being aware of the power, nor of the intensity of the organized witchcraft that was working against him. He entered into the debate operating in his flesh, so he immediately became an easy target for easy takedown. Any available flesh becomes dragon fodder.
--Satan knows our weaknesses by listening to, and watching, us throughout our life. He has observed the painful moments in our history that moved us to respond in ungodly ways … those moments when he interjected lies and wrong responses for us to apply then, and in the future. His operatives in the occult world, are enlisted to bring curses, hexes, and rituals … and all manner of witchcraft … to strike upon those painful, self-defeating places in our soul (those triggers of fear and pain), so that we let go what is Godly and true, to be led away by our flesh into those self-defeating, God-displeasing responses and conclusions. He desires that our flesh will be activated in every situation of intense challenge, because the operations of our flesh make us easy targets for take-down. It’s good to keep in minds, that while we are alive on the earth, we will have flesh as well as spirit and body. Whenever a professed believer operates in flesh, know that it will always create a greater stink, and receive more negative consequences, than a non-believer because we have been born again. The Lord makes sure that the glaring evidence is seen. We are to crucify our flesh, so that it doesn’t become our living mouthpiece and modis operendi; discrediting the Lord and presenting a horrible contradictory reflection of the life of faith to the non- believing world.
--What we, in the Body of Messiah, needed to be praying was for the Lord to COVER Pres. Trump’s vulnerabilities and weakness with the blood of Yeshua before the debate and throughout the campaign. We needed to be praying for the healing of his soul wounds that have inspired him to become a self-defensive street fighter whenever he gets triggered. Surely that man has been attacked, accused wrongly, cursed, and cornered by evil many times in his life. Most certainly he has a heavy load of pain in his heart from all that. Early on, he probably learned to stand up against attacks by attacking back … defeating lies by shouting them down, or by refusing to give them an opportunity to speak. Those are not Kingdom strategies in a battle with the flesh … but how would our President know that unless someone taught him about the spiritual realities, and about the ways of warfare? We needed to be praying, prior to the debate, that someone (or the Lord, Himself) would educate Trump about the realities of spiritual war … and about the attack strategies of the Enemy. He was prepared with data and facts … mentally sharp … but not with spiritual wisdom and insight. That must change before he goes any farther in this campaign. We must pray that new awareness and practice into reality.
--We DO NOT FIGHT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but in the midst of being attacked, it feels as if we are. We need to have this spiritual truth embedded so deeply in our soul that we will not react in flesh when attacked by an unholy spirit. As the weeks and months pass, the attacks could become significantly greater, and more frequent. We have to stay on the Rock to avoid being seduced into a spiritual conflict while using carnal weapons. Pray for VP Pence in his debate with Ms. Harris next week.
--Every one of us has an inner child that hates to be bullied. If we have been silenced, misrepresented, or bullied in the past, we need healing (and sometimes deliverance), so that we don’t default to an aggressive, defensive, posture when it is inappropriate. Our triggers need to be removed. I believe we need to pray that kind of wholeness for Pres. Trump. When we are bullied, some of us attack the bully, while others run away, or stay out of his way altogether. Satan is the bully. We, and the President, need to learn how to face-off with the bully, while standing upon the Rock of Messiah in a mindset of shalom. Spiritual war with an “in-your-face” enemy is an active part in the season of the world that we are in right now. The bully will keep attacking from here on out. We need to learn when the fight is the Lord’s, and when it’s ours. However, when we respond and fight back, it must never be with the weapons, or in the modalities, of the Enemy. The Lord must call out the strategies. Flesh cannot be part of this fight.
--Another important piece of understanding is that when we battle, we must battle from a heart of CONFIDENCE, not one of ARROGANCE. We take, and hold, ground not by our own abilities, wisdom, power, or understanding. We stand with, and on, the character, authority, mandates, and truth of YHVH. We don’t stand for our glory, but rather for His.
--The testimony of what the Lord has done with, and through, us needs to be shared … FOR HIS GLORY. We overcome by that testimony, through the blood of the Lamb, and by standing on the confidence we have in Him, which enables us to hold our position even in the face of death threats. Very often, there will be people walking in fleshly jealousy, in competition, or in insecurity (yes, they are found even in the Body of Messiah), who will wrongly assess our strength and confidence in the Lord as personal pride. When that happens, we must take those charges immediately to the Lord for His opinion … to make any course corrections that He suggests. If change is needed, we make that alteration, but then get up and shake off the dust; forgiving and moving on. If the Lord has affirmed the actual condition of our heart as being in contradiction to the charges leveled against us by the accuser, we must NEVER change our course to accommodate or to placate the accuser’s lies. Unholy peace … that which is based upon a lie … is a false peace. It will not hold.
--Neither should we try to make a case for ourselves; expounding upon why the other person is wrong, misled, or intentionally spewing error; enabling our rage level to climb. If we speak the truth and leave the consequences to the Lord, He will back up our report; confirming and vindicating us it in His way and timing. We can never force others to see or to accept the truth. The choice is theirs. To try to force it on a closed mind and heart, only increases the level of ire and destruction. It’s not worth it. I know that is terribly hard to do in a campaign, when the lies are being cast day after day … hour after hour. Sometimes the less often we use the word “I” the easier it is to let go of self-defense; enabling the Lord to be our defense and vindication. And yet, that IS NOT EASY FOR MOST OF US.
--Not only does the testimony of the Lord’s ability through us, and His use of us, need to be shared, but the power of the Kingdom needs to be demonstrated by us as well. That power is demonstrated when we stand in the heat of battle in a state of shalom … not panicked, not raging, not concerned about ourselves, or of what others think about us. There is a strong inflexibility that is holy in declaring the truth in love, while not picking up our own cause in the process. IT IS ALL ABOUT YHVH! Sadly, in the debate, Pres. Trump picked up the cause of truth in a way that made it all about him. We must have compassion upon him and not stand in judgment. We need to pray for him even more. It’s rather amazing that President Trump is alive at all; given the vast number of curses and satanic rituals that have been enacted against him, to remove him from leadership and from life. The pressure under which he lives must be crushing. Clearly the Lord has sustained him and will continue to use him, but we have to cry out for a deep de-sliming of our national leader from the nasty stuff that comes on him from having to engage with things arising from the swamp every day.
--We need to understand that satan is always seeking to displace the people of YHVH, because he was displaced from heaven. He wants us to be the targets of displeasure and rejection, because he rebelled and faced the consequences of the Lord’s displeasure and rejection from the courts, power, and glory of heaven. We have to trust that where the Lord has positioned us and called us, He will also keep us in that position until HE wants to remove us. We must not give the Lord a reason where He will need to, or want to, remove us from our place as the result of any rebellious, soulish, choices that we might make. We want YHVH to be able to trust us, so that means He needs to train us. Sometimes that training is painful, as He allows us to make embarrassing and consequential mistake, so that we know flesh will get us into trouble, but the Spirit of the Lord will bring us through in victory. Last night’s debate is a case in point. It must be a learning moment.
--Satan is terrified when the people of YHVH have both a high position of power/influence, as well as a holy fear and dependency upon the Lord. To keep people of the Spirit from gaining power, satan works tirelessly to influence the minds of carnal people (including the religious, self-righteous, and the spiritual blind) to be offended by Kingdom confidence, words and actions. In this way, satan can make the righteous pay a personal price in negative reactions and humanly contrived consequences for any holy obedience. His intention is to make the uproar so costly that the righteous will decline to take a righteous stand at all. To the flesh, the operations of YHVH’s Kingdom can seem ridiculous, insane, outrageous, offensive, narrow, total fabrications, and highly restrictive. Any mention of the glory of YHVH, and any policies suggested that would limit the license of human flesh to prosper a sinful lifestyle, are decried as evil and illegal. So, should the people of YHVH remain quiet and keep the truth of sin and salvation to themselves? Absolutely not! NEVER! However, we must depend upon the Holy Spirit to renew our minds and to cleanse our hearts so that we don’t begin to lose Kingdom authority, by speaking/behaving carnally … depleting our spiritual credibility in the process.
Beloved, for a long time now, it has felt as if our nation was slowly being eaten by a boa constrictor. We haven’t been attentive or oppositional to the inroads that satan has made into our social structures, laws, schools, courts, media etc. Slowly, slowly the boa has been tightening his grip around our way of life, while he has been gulping down portions of the world around us. The good news is this: If someone with a knife sees someone being eaten by a boa constrictor, he/she will be able to use that knife to open up the body of the snake and extract the person before he/she dies. We need to pick up the sword of the Spirit right now, and cut this devouring beast open to free this nation. The boa is vulnerable when he is focused upon the meal he is working so hard to devour. The Left-wing Luciferians, globalists, and supporters of evil are confident that their expertly calculated, focused, plans for destroying the Judea-Christian foundations of our nation (and of other nations) … as well as devouring the lives of the righteous … are succeeding and will be victorious. They have not yet seen what YHVH is about to do to flip over their game plan by the use of His sword. During this time, it will be important for us to gird ourselves up in the Lord, to brace ourselves, and to keep moving ahead as the Lord instructs. We need to cover YHVH’s chosen leaders with thick blankets of intercession and support. We need to turn off the news media and tune into the Kingdom report of the Lord.
Now in closing, I will offer some suggestions for prayer to help bring this dreadful debate around into Kingdom gain.
**Praise the thank the Lord for being in total control of the outcome of this election
**Thank Him for allowing the difficult and painful experiences that help us learn where we have been weak and vulnerable. Pray that He will cover those vulnerable places while we heal and grow. Pray the same thing for our President.
**In mercy Lord, employ Your sword to slash open the principalities and powers that are seeking to devour this nation. Set the people free.
**Pray that YHVH will enable Pres. Trump to see his words and actions during the debate through Kingdom eyes, to acquire insight and restoration where it is needed. Pray that his triggers will be disabled and that healing will come.
**Pray that YHVH will help us look with open eyes at what needs to be changed in ourselves, before we set about trying to tell others how to change. Pray that Pres. Trump will have some quiet time before the Lord … perhaps in the presence of a Spirit-filled advisor … to sort out what really happened in his own soul last night. Pray that he will hear and receive the word that will help to remove those vulnerabilities, which have been accessible to the enemy’s attacks.
**Praise and thank YHVH for His great compassion and mercy, which allows us many chances, and gives us many opportunities for the growth and re-tooling of our souls. Thank Him for the free gifts of forgiveness and salvation that we, and all others, need desperately. Pray that YHVH would correct Donald Trump, where He needs to be corrected, but that he would not absorb any unholy accusation or condemnation that would weaken him further. Pray that Trump would forgive himself and Biden (and the moderator Mike Wallace) for last night’s display, and be able to move on. Pray that Trump will not get stuck in blaming others, or in making plans for revenge and self-vindication. Pray against bitterness setting in.
**Pray for a release of the Spirit of Humility, so that all of us, as well as our President, will come to a place of humble self-revelation that will bring freedom and wholeness into our souls.
**Pray for Trump to be filled with the Holy Spirit and led by that Spirit in all that he will encounter on the road ahead. Pray that Trump will develop (and express) an awareness of the fear of the Lord and his dependency upon Him in all things.
**Pray for the Lord to wash the minds and the hearts of the believers, who watched the debate. Pray that offense, rejection, hopelessness, disgust, or rage would not be allowed to set up residence in their minds or hearts.
**Pray and bind up the unholy spirits that came flying off the screens last night, into the homes and lives of many people … potentially infecting them with rage, offense, rebellion, arrogance, etc. Pray for the angels of the Lord to gather up those demons, who have been given this opportunity and entry to mess up human lives, hearts, minds, and relationships.
**Pray for the hearts and minds of the women, who watched the debate in a state of rage, fear, and horror … those, who have had to endure abusive bullying from men … whether husbands, boyfriends, fathers, etc. Pray that they would not transfer that historical pain in their lives upon the President; making him the responsible for the cruel words and actions of others against them. Pray that they would not transfer their historical hatred to Trump, because of his aggressive, dominating style that was demonstrated in the debate.
**For those, who had intended to vote for Trump, but who now intend to not vote at all, as a result of last night’s debate, pray that they will have a deeper revelation of what is really happening here … and then come out to vote as the Lord directs them to.
**Pray for the deceived young people … and all those, who hate Trump’s style, because it reminds them of the bullying tactics use against them by their own fathers. Cause them to see and to process the realities correctly. Bind up all transference. Pray that the youth would wake up to see that the promises made by Obama were never fulfilled, and that the promises by the Left will destroy their freedom and prosperity, rather than secure it. Pray for an awakening within the youth in regard to the truth about socialism and global control. Pray that their programming, which makes them blind to the blessings of our American freedom and foundation, will be broken over them.
**Pray for the President to have a moment of humble reflection and apology before the people, for the way he spoke and acted when it was inappropriate during the debate.
**Pray that Trump will clearly see that ALL of his accomplishments have come by the hand of the Lord on His life, so that he would no longer boast in himself. Pray that he will openly begin to give the glory for his successes to the Lord.
**Pray to break the unholy coupling of Trump’s abilities and leadership wisdom with the COVID-19 deaths and destruction of the economy. He is not to blame for this disaster. Pray for the protection of his heart when those deaths are laid at his doorstep. He must not receive that false responsibility.
**Pray that a true and wise prophet will come to the President and teach him about spiritual warfare and about the way to engage against this template of spiritual wickedness that is seeking to take down our nation … and to remove him from office.
**Pray that any occult propping up of Biden by the enemy will fail publicly. Pray that any cheating, dishonesty, and conspiracy that has been operating will be exposed.
**Pray that Joe Biden will have an encounter with YHVH and emerge with a holy fear of the Lord. Pray that he will emerge from the encounter as the best man he can possibly be. Pray the same for Pres. Trump.
I could continue on with many more points, but I need to sign off now and get this to your inboxes. May the peace of the Lord fill your hearts and minds following this debate debacle. Keep praying. Keep believing! The Lord is doing something amazing in all this. Trust Him and weather the storms. We must maintain a humble posture of confession, repentance, and faith before Him. Know that we have His focused attention and that we are perpetually surrounded by His great love.
Stay well and stay IN HIM!!
