Our Prayer Focus:
Preparing our Hearts to Enter Into the Closet of Prayer
It has come to our attention from sources inside D.C. that, when President Trump will be accepting his nomination tomorrow night for his second term in office, thousands of protestors will be gathered nearby. They hope to make enough noise that the voice of President Trump will be drowned out!
We have also been notified that security has been increased at all key agencies downtown, too.
Let us pray . . .
Today's Prayer:
Father God, we lift up this incoming horde to You, in repentance, knowing that You bled and died on the Cross for each one. As You did when You hung on that Cross, we say: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)
We ask that You station Your Holy Angels round about each one, and place a hook in their jaw, stopping them in their tracks. Amen.
We pray, too, for the Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police, and the Park Service Police,. that all will be able to effectively enforce the law and keep the peace in our city. May each "team" work perfectly alongside the others, in unity and in synchronicity, in order to secure our streets in safety.
And finally, Lord, we do ask that Your Blood would cover President Donald John Trump as he delivers his well - earned acceptance speech in front of the delegates at the Republican National Conference tomorrow night, Thursday, August 26, 2020.
Praise the Lord!
> > > Additional verse to decree for today:
(2 Chronicles 20:15)
"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."
A Song for Today
THERE'S POWER IN THE BLOOD!
Go here to sing the melody and to read the lyrics, too!
> > > As we sing this song today over the hordes of protestors even now who are making their way into this city, thank our Lord that His Blood covers each one!
Tomorrow's Prayer Focus:
Friday's March on Washington
This Friday we will see a March on Washington Coinciding with the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s March on Washington where he delivered his historic "I Have A Dream" speech in 1963. Thousands of visitors will make their way to the District to participate in the march. Let's cover that event in prayer, too.
A Special Announcement:
To all of our readers
[Please note: I am going to use a "period" in between the following letters, on purpose.]
It has come to our attention that, even though we are sending these alerts out, using the spelling of "s.i.e.g.e", some of you are reading these as "s.e.i.g.e.!"
All spelling is correct on our end, both sending out and receiving our Prayer S.i.e.g.e alerts.
If you are one who is receiving this with an incorrect spelling, please ignore the same and "carry on" to the prayers for the day. We will continue to send out this message for the remaining days of our s.i.e.g.e.
It is a mystery to us why this is happening, but we thank our God that He IS in control, and that thousands of you are now joining us in this 40-day s.i.e.g.e.
Thank you!
What is "The Siege?"
Radical activist group plans to "lay siege to" and "occupy" White House in September
The radical activist group that takes credit for the #OccupyWallStreet movement in 2011 has announced plans to occupy the White House next month. Adbusters, a digital publication that describes itself as "a global network" determined to "advance the new social activist movement of the information age," issued a post dubbed "#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #1."
"It's been nine years since we set off the political earthquake of #OccupyWallStreet, laying siege to NYC's Zuccotti Park and inspiring thousands of similar protests around the world," the post reads. "The Occupy anniversary arrives September 17th, 2020. And it may be the perfect day to trigger another global big-bang moment - a massive collective action of the sweetest kind of disobedience."
"It's time again for dramatic, decisive action. Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C," the post continued. "We will lay siege to the White House. And we will sustain it for exactly 50 days. This is the #WhiteHouseSiege."
Our Response:
Our strategy
In confronting this enemy, we will follow Christ's example. Accordingly, every day for the next 40 days, we will join forces with prayer points, Scriptures, and worship to confront the enemy at the gates and to render him null and void.
We will begin now, and end on Sunday, September 20, just after the siege of the enemy has begun. BUT. by the grace of GOD, the enemy will instead find a big surprise at that gate: the LOVE OF JESUS, with His Hands extended towards each one, waiting to welcome them home.
By marshallng our forces in advance, just as was done this month in Austin, Texas, the plans of the enemy will be routed and OUR GOD WILL REIGN on the streets of Washington, D.C.!
Please note . . .
When lifting up prayer about these "enemy troops," our intercession is in fact aimed towards the forces in the heavenlies that are holding them captive!
It is written:
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12)
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." (Ephesians 6:13)
Let us now stand together, dressed in the full armor of God in this evil day, at the gate of the highest authority in this land, praying for our nation, our President, and our upcoming elections.
In His Amazing Grace, we invite all of you to join us as we LAY SIEGE TO THE SIEGE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
