Shalom Praying Friends,
I still remember the first time I heard a shofar sounding……
My heart pounded within me and I felt a stirring in my spirit like I had never felt before. I began to study the purpose of the shofar. The shofar, the trumpet, is often referred to as the Lord’s mouthpiece. It is important enough that it is referenced 110 times throughout the old and new testament, it means something is about to happen. Pay attention!
People are reporting that they are hearing shofars sounding in the atmosphere. Prophets are prophesying about shofars sounding. People I know ask where they can buy shofars. At my church we sound shofars to call our people to worship. As our pastor raises the offering to heaven after praying over it, we sound the shofars. I have heard the answering sound of the shofar in Washington DC when I prayed for the angelic hosts to war over our nation. When the shofar sounds, you need to listen up!
One night several years ago, I and another intercessor went down to the waters edge late at night after a night of heavy intercession and I sensed I was to sound the shofar over the waters. The Spirit of the Lord has told me that it will carry over the waters to the nations of the world. There was no one around that I could see and it was quite dark on that beach when I sounded the shofar. Suddenly from out of nowhere a man and woman came running towards us. The woman exclaimed excitedly that she had heard the shofar sounding and wanted to know if Jesus was returning! We told her, “Not yet, but maybe soon!”
There is so much tumult in the spirit and yet today I want to rejoice in the Lord and declare that this is the day He has made! I have experienced great building of faith in Him, more than I have had before and quiet confidence in what He is doing although the media and naysayers are doing their best to undercut that.
So much is being revealed and prayers are being answered but quite often not in the manner in which we had placed our hope, especially if we placed our hope in man and not the Lord, YHWH. Now is a time of great heart introspection. Who have you placed your trust in? God or man? Yourself or others you like? Have you placed your trust in the one with the most likes, or the most handsome looks? If its not the Lord, I suggest some carpet time with our Creator and dust off your bibles.
This I know, when I start off spiritual warfare, I often feel compelled to sound the shofar and alert the Lord to what kind of battle we are waging here on earth. In the Book of Numbers 10:9 it is written: When you go to war in your land against the enemy that attacks you, then sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. Let us pray!
Suggested Prayer Guide:
Lord, as we prepare to engage the enemy, Your Word gives us instruction on the rules of spiritual warfare. We heed Your instructions lest we become unnecessary casualties of war.
Heavenly Father we come to You in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and we ask You to set the captives free today. Lord we claim Your protection by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ over ourselves, our families, our homes, and all we put our hands to.
We declare that our spirit man is clad with the armor of the Lord and the armor of light. We put on the breastplate of righteousness to protect our heart and our chest cavity and vital organs. We function and conduct our life’s affairs according to Your original plan and purpose for us. It protects our reputation. We gird our loins about with truth. It protects our integrity. We put upon our feet the sandals of the Gospel of peace which guides our every step. We put on the helmet of salvation to renew our minds daily. It protects us from negative thoughts that would derail Your purposes and plans for us. We hold up the shield of faith to thwart every fiery dart of the enemy, it secures our future and our destiny. According to Judges 7:18, with the Word we take up the Sword of the Lord which grants us dominion and authority against the powers of hell. In the name of Yeshua we shall be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.
We nullify the power of any sacrifice made to devils in our cities, regions, or nation in the name of Jesus. Leviticus 17:7 We bind and rebuke Molech and any spirit that has been assigned to abort the destiny of our communities, our cities, our states, our nation. Lev.18:21
We declare all means of communication and connectivity; our phone lines, our electrical grid systems, our electronic devices and our internet service are covered with the Blood of Jesus. In the name of Yeshua we bind the strongman of pride, religion and rebellion over America that we may plunder the enemy’s camp. Mark 3:27. We bind the prince of the power of the air and abolish demonic frequencies.
We activate the angels of the Lord to cut off the power and communication between the devil, the strongman and the people to whom we minister to. We bind every scrambling spirit that would attempt to twist the words we pray. We bind all gossip and MEDIA disinformation that would try to insert itself against the plans of heaven for this nation. We tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy , and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Luke 10:19 We pray all these prayers in the name of Yeshua. The enemy is forbidden access and cannot interfere.
Your throne, O Lord, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness, the scepter of Your kingdom. Let the scepter of Your Kingdom be extended over the nations. Psalm 45:6 Let the nations be still and know that You are God; be exalted among the nations, and be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is the great king over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet. Psalm 47:2-3 Let the nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to You.Psalm 47:9
Father God forgive us for we have sinned against You in rebellion and defiance of Your Word and Your Holiness. Romans 13 Set a guard, O Lord, over our mouths; keep watch over the door of our lips. psalm 141:3 Lord subdue the floods that have lifted up, for You are mightier than the noise of many waters. Psalm 93:3-4 Our horn, Your Shofar, which is an emblem of excessive strength and stately grace, You have exalted like that of a wild ox; we are anointed with fresh oil. Psalm 92:10 We will use our mouth as Your holy Shofar and not as a defilement. We ask that in Your mercy You would pardon us for rebellion against You. We cancel all negative words that have been released by us in to the atmosphere causing wounds, lies and death.
Lord work righteousness and justice as we war in the spirit and forbid the works of rebellion in Your church and Your nation America. Psalm 103:6 Lord give freedom to the prisoners and open the eyes of the blind. Raise up those who are bowed down Psalm 146:8 Let the nations come to the mountain of the house of the Lord (Your church), and let them learn Your ways and walk in Your paths. Let them beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks, and let them learn war no more. Isaiah 2:2-4
Let the people who walk in darkness in the House of the Lord and in the shadow of death see Your light. Isaiah 9:2 Of the increase of government and peace (Shalom), there is no end. Let Your government and peace increase from generation to generation. Isaiah 9:7
Lord You have a plan for our nation America. Exactly as You planned, it will happen. Your plan is manifesting before us. Your ways are not our ways, Your ways are better when You plan outside the small box of our limited understanding. We are so restricted in our humanity. And when things do not go according to how we want You to act on our behalf we begin to doubt You, the ultimate rebellion against faith in You. Forgive us for we sin when we doubt You. Isaiah 55:8-9
Regarding our elections, Lord, the true prophets that You have revealed matters to are standing firm on the Rock of their Salvation. Yet others have fallen short in denying Your Word when it did not come to pass as they expected. Unholy expectations that are borne of the flesh and not of Your Spirit. “O you of little faith, why do you reason and doubt among yourselves because you have brought no bread? For the timing of the Lord is perfect in every event and action. Matthew 16:8 Have mercy o Lord and create in them a clean heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within them. Psalm 51:10
Father we have prayed for Godly leaders to be elected who will carry on the heritage of the dedication of our nation unto Jesus. We have prayed for leaders who will not veer off from the foundation of the essence of this nation. You Word says that when godly men reign, the people will rejoice. It also says that the people cry out under the rule of the ungodly.. Proverbs 28:12 Father do You hear the cries of Your people? Deliver us from the ungodly in high places, governors of states, corrupt judges, corrupt legislators.
Lord in the coming days many will be exposed for the acts of treason/rebellion they have committed against this nation but they would never have been able to progress as far as they have if not for the rebellion of people who say they are called by Your name who have rebelled against You. When they condoned leadership in churches by people knowingly engaged in perverse relationships. They have sought glory for themselves in a bully pulpit when in fact they should have been praying for the success of the plan You have implemented for this nation. Instead of praying they have murmured and accused. Instead of fasting they have gorged themselves on fleshly desires. Matthew 12:34 Father God forgive us for the spirit of religion that exalts itself against the knowledge of Your love and truth. We renounce it as sin.
With a compromised spirit of witchcraft rebellion, many in the church have turned a blind or wandering eye from Your Word. Not all, but many. Heaven help us to turn back to You Lord and away from self absorbed carnalities. When we rightly judge matters, many in the compromised church shout “You’re judging me!” Nay!! The Word of God judges in righteousness and truth!

The Word of God judges perversion, homosexuality, bestiality, incest as sin.Leviticus 18:23

Elohim we recognize that rebellion is as treason against You and there is a consequence and it is daunting. For it is written, “I will spread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and try him there for the treason which he committed against Me. Ezekiel 17:20
We bind and forbid satan and the spirits of rebellion, bitterness and insubordination over the Church and our nation, the United States of America. Lord we sever all the strings to these evil spirits that have come against Your people and this nation and strike against all the strongholds and cut them down now. We release obedience, submission and loyalty to them instead. We cry out for Your mercy and tender compassion.
Father You said rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry, and the rebellious dwell in a dry land. Father You said if we are willing and obedient we will eat of the good of the land: but if we refuse and rebel, we will be devoured by the sword. The sword of islam hangs over our heads, it must not fall on our necks but rather clatter to the ground broken in Jesus name.
Father, You said You would purge out from among us the rebels, and those that transgress against You and bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn and they shall not enter in the land of Your people.
We curse the root, seed, core, branches, sprigs, twigs and uproot the tree of rebellion and all the spirits in the family of rebellion and all that have been sent against us and this nation. We pull the tree of rebellion out, roots and all, the branches and leaves will wither, dry up, die from the roots up and there will be neither root or branch left, but like a tree (rebellion and all the spirits let in and all in the family of rebellion) will be consumed roots and all. Hosea 9:16, Job 18:16, Ezekiel 17:9, Malachi 4:1
We repent for and remit the sins of our ancestors for allowing rebellion to come down through the bloodline and we ask You Father to release us and this nation from all cause and effect of rebellion. In the name of Jesus we come before You Lord and repent for the spirit of rebellion and whoredom in this nation, the political whoredom, the spiritual whoredom and the self serving rebels.
We ask in Yeshua’s name that You would cause the Fear of the Lord to come upon Your Church, in every pulpit, in every denomination, in every congregation whether it be in a building or a home.
In the name of Yeshua, the Ultimate law giver Elohim, we ask for the Fear of the Lord to come upon all levels of social media and communication, that the Spirit of the Lord would wash through the main stream media and they would repent for the iniquities that they have perpetrated against this nation.
We ask that You would release the Fear of the Lord to all financial and economic markets, all education and government sectors, municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement and justice. And that every person involved in wrong doing and treason, would repent of their transgressions and confess and make right the travesty perpetrated against our nation and You God.
We ask for the scales of justice in the judiciary that have been tipped in favor of the secret societies, bribery and corruption would be re-calibrated and balanced in favor of righteousness. We stand on Your promises that as we pray, and cry out to you for mercy, that You will bring down and judge Your enemies.
We proclaim that You, our God, will save America, for the sake of Your beloved Ecclesia, as we partner with You…and for all the souls that must come into Your Kingdom as a result of Your people and God-given freedom in the United States of America, in our Messiah Yeshua’s Name. We refuse to accept anything that is in opposition to Your perfect will for our nation including the leadership you desire.
Lord at the heart of the matter, You are our God; We shall earnestly search for You. Our souls thirsts for You; our whole body longs for You in this parched and weary land where there is no water. We have seen You in Your sanctuary and gazed upon Your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how we praise You! We will praise You as long as we live, lifting up our hands to You in prayer. You satisfy us more than the richest feast.
We will praise You with songs of joy. We lie awake thinking of You,
meditating on You through the night. Because You are our helper,
We sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
We cling to You; Your strong right hand holds us securely.
But those plotting to destroy us and our nation AMERICA and the nations of the world will come to ruin.They will go down into the depths of the earth. They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals. But the king will rejoice in You God. All who swear to tell the truth will praise him, while liars will be silenced.
Psalm 63
We plant a tree of life in our churches, our homes and our nation that will grow strong and tall and will be submissive, obedient, yielding and will surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and the work of the Cross. We ask You Holy Spirit to fill Your people and this nation with obedience, gentleness, calmness, patience, submission, peace, tranquility and loyalty to the Father God and man. Cause us to be soft, pliable, elastic, compassionate, merciful, tolerant of other people and obey God and His delegated authority on earth. In this case President Donald John Trump. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and call it done. We release this truth into the atmosphere: The root of all sin is rebellion, whether it be accepting You Jesus Christ as our Savior or rebellion against Your, (God’s) authority or Your delegated authority (man.) Rebellion is the gateway to hell!
We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” For the sake of our brethren and companions, We will now say, “Peace be within you.” Because of the house of the Lord our God we will seek your good. Psalm 122:6-9 AMEN!
