Today's Prayer Focus:
OCCUPY WALL STREET: PART ONE
(The Organization)
Warning!
We cover this edition of "Laying Siege Against the Siege" and all who will read this article with the Blood of Jesus; and we bind all forms of retaliation from striking us after we read and pray through the information offered below. Amen.
During the remaining days of our SIEGE AGAINST THE SIEGE, we will begin to release a roll call of evil organizations bent on destroying or redesigning our nation, These groups will include: Occupy Wall Street, ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter (BLM) . . . and more.
For now, these groups are working behind the scenes in tandem with each other, sharing strategies, resources and tools to wreak havoc against the cities they target. The members of these groups all have one thing in common: they need to know our Savior. Each one is caught in a noose of deception but hallelujah! Through the work of the Cross, they can be set free!
In love, we come against these networks as we take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, and decree: Psalm 129:4. It is written: "The LORD is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked."
Amen and amen.
A Scripture to Decree:
PSALM 7:9 (NKJV)
"Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds."

Preparing Our Hearts to Pray about: OCCUPY WALL STREET (The Organization)
HISTORY:
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) was a protest movement against economic inequality that began in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, in September 2011. It gave rise to the wider Occupy movement in the United States and other countries.
The Canadian anti-consumerist and pro-environment group/magazine Adbusters initiated the call for a protest. The main issues raised by Occupy Wall Street were social and economic inequality, greed, corruption and the undue influence of corporations on government-particularly from the financial services sector. The OWS slogan, "We are the 99%", refers to income and wealth inequality in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. To achieve their goals, protesters acted on consensus-based decisions made in general assemblies which emphasized redress through direct action over the petitioning to authorities.
The protesters were forced out of Zuccotti Park on November 15, 2011. Protesters then turned their focus to occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, foreclosed homes, and college and university campuses.
The original vision to create this siege at Wall Street came from an advertising executive in Toronto, CANADA. A group called "AdBusters" actually launched the original OWS.
Adbusters is an anti-consumerism magazine based in Vancouver, British Columbia. In the summer of 2011, it proposed the "occupation" of Wall Street, and the idea caught fire.
According to an October 20, 2011 article in NPR, Adbusters never claimed any control over the protests seeing itself "more as an idea shop, sort of an "anti-advertising firm" that takes special glee in creating fake ads to subvert the message of real products."
Now, Adbusters is back and calling for a siege of the White House . . .
As this movement has once again caught the attention of anarchists across our nation . . . it is time to pray.
Today's Prayer
Today's Prayer: Focus on Occupy Wall Street
Father, we are surprised to see that this movement, that caused such disruption in our financial markets in 2011, actually was the brainstorm of an advertising executive in CANADA.
Father God, we set boundaries around our nation, pleading your precious Blood over our northern border, and decreeing that no enemy forces can breach our wall.
Even as we forgive the founders of OWS, we decree to our enemy: "This far and no further, and here will your proud waves stop!" (Job 39:11) We now lay axe to the root of the current plan to lay siege to the White House, and we ask that You would send forth a withering spirit to cause this new movement to implode on itself and to die out. In Your Name we pray, amen.

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

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.
