Sound the Shofar, Now is the Time!

June 17, 2020

Shalom Praying Friends,

Now is the Time!  If not now, when?  If not you, who? I believe each of us were created for such a time as this and it is upon us now.  One only has to look at a television screen or computer monitor to recognize that something is wrong and has been out of control.  Isn’t that what we’re all about? being in control?  When things are out of control we get all messed up in our thinking.  And sometimes that thinking starts stinking.  But the Lord and the Word of God is the solution to getting back on the right track.

On the rear window of my prayer chariot, my tank, some would call it, is a bumper sticker. It has caused many to think, to laugh, to scratch their head in puzzlement and for some their mouth to fall open and a scramble to take a picture while we all wait in traffic.  I’ve shared about it before.  It’s a caricature of a man lying on his back with his shoes pointing upwards and a fly is buzzing around overhead. He looks dead.  The saying on the sticker says, “Many who plan to seek God at the 11th hour die at 10:30.”

I will make this short and sweet, we are in a now time. A Kairos moment in eternity.  What are you doing with your time?  Are you seeking the Lord? Are you praying? Are you trusting? Are you fighting? Are you cowering? Are you seized and immobile? Are you seeking to repair what is broken? Are you prepared for a move of God unlike anything you have ever imagined or even prepared for?  Are you ready and is your salvation secured that if the Lord calls you today, you are ready? Now is such a time.

Last night I was praying with intercessors on a nightwatch call to quell the violence in our nation. We have been like a band of warriors.  Praising, worshipping prophesying, seeking  the Lord.  A band of warriors, 10-12 strong, from across the nation, who’ve mostly never met each other in person but recognize our voices by the spirit of the Lord.  I read from Psalm 102 about the time we are in for the Lord to move and bring His Glory into our nation, suddenly,  in the background there was a chiming of a grandfather clock in one of the warrior’s homes. She had forgotten to mute her phone but the Lord had another plan. It was sounding that the hour was here!  The Spirit of the Lord erupted and we prayed that now is the time for action and the Lord was confirming it in an incontrovertible way!  Now is the time for action, now is the time for the Lord to bring His Glory! Now is the time and now is the day!

The enemy also pays attention to time.  On Saturday evening at midnight going into Sunday on June 21 there is a global plan of those practicing the dark evil of witchcraft, satanism and lucifer worship.  Their plan is to curse our nation, our president and an actual physical march to bring forth the launching of the One World Order of the antichrist into the nations of the world. 

This wicked plan is deliberately timed to coincide with the first solar eclipse of 2020, a rare annular eclipse, which will appear in the heavens over Israel on Sunday. According to academicians, this type of eclipse described as a “ring of fire” was responsible for Joshua’s miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during battle exactly 3,227 years ago.

So the sun stood still,

And the moon stopped,

Till the people had revenge

Upon their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. Joshua 10:13

The eclipse will be visible for a very short time in a 60-kilometer wide path traversing Africa and the Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia, Pakistan, India, and China. The eclipse will begin to be visible in Israel at 7:26 AM local time, reach its peak one hour later, and disappear at 9:26. The sun will be 99% obscured by the moon, making the sun’s corona appear as a ring of fire around the dark circle of the moon. Israel experienced a very brief ring of fire eclipse last December during the holiday of Hannukah. breakingisraelnews.com

But I have news for the enemy!  He loses and God wins! God’s Glory will cover us and the plans of heaven will go forth.  Don’t expect it to look like you want it to! God’s ways are not our ways. His way of looking at things is different than our’s.  His glasses are way bigger than anything we look through.  Our Omniscient Lord  has macro vision and we, His created ones, have micro vision.

Keeping all this in mind, Let’s pray! Now is the Time!

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.

In Preparation for War:

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.

As we have donned the full armor of God, we stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil that attempts to overcome our minds with dread, fear and hopelessness. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. Ephesians 6:11-12

We forbid any retaliation or backlash of the enemy against us in the name of Yeshua. We blind his vision through the pentagram and deafen his ears to our plans.   We cover ourselves, our families, homes, finances and  ministries in the Blood of Yeshua and We ask You to deliver our nation. All means communication and connectivity are covered in the Blood of Jesus and the enemy can’t interfere. We cover our phone lines, our electrical grid systems, our electronic devices and our internet service with the Blood of Jesus.

In the name of Yeshua we bind the strongmen of witchcraft and Abbadon (destruction) over America and Israel. We renounce all pride that would open the door for destruction.  Proverb 16:18 We bind the prince of the power of the air and abolish demonic frequencies. We bind every scrambling spirit that would attempt to twist the words we pray or hear. 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 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 nation America and Israel. Lev.18:21

We decree and declare that today is the dawning of a new day! Our season of frustration and failures is over and we walk in a season of obedience, reformation and victory.  Old things have passed away; all things have become new. Let Your Holy Spirit and His wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, the fear of the Lord and prophetic insight be upon us today. Isaiah 11:1-2 We decree and declare that now is the time to stand for righteousness. Now is the time to possess the land!

Lord in Jesus name, grant us the ability to hear clearly as You give us insight and the strategy and battle plan of heaven to bring about the victory You desire.  Open our ears and let Your Word inspire us to righteousness and alignment of the movement of Your Spirit with clear, crisp transmission.

Cause our spiritual eyes to function with 20/20 vision for the correct insight, understanding, and interpretation of the movement of God in this season. Lord we do not want to prophesy out of bitterness, emotion or by the flesh.  Do not let our eyes be seduced by the spirit of covetousness and greed and our minds by the pride of life.  Make our feet as hinds feet over all our troubles.  Lead us along the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Psalm 23:3 In Jesus name, we have the foresight to see the entrapments of the enemy and we shall avoid them.

Father place the anointing of a warrior upon us. Every domain and system that You have assigned us we  confiscate from the enemy. We release the law of dispossession; every satanic or demonic squatter that is on our lands, properties or territories, we command to go in the name of Jesus. We are more than conquerors through You who loves us. Romans 8:37

Strengthen the hedge of protection around our lives, our possessions, our families, friends and associates and ministries.   We remind principalities, powers and familiar spirits that they have no right to touch our lives in any way, for we are in covenant with You Lord and hidden in the secret place of the Most High and we shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

We release our names and all that is assigned to us and associated with us into the atmosphere.  Allow prayer warriors to pick us up in the realm of the spirit and pray, reinforcing our hedge of protection.  Let them stand in the prophetic and intercessory gap for us and all that is assigned to us and associated with us. Job 1:10

Since Your Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, we shall neither stumble nor fall. Psalm 119:105  We walk in dominion and authority. Our lives are characterized by liberty.  There is no slackness in our hands. Where we stand, God gives us the land.

Lord Yeshua, just as You stood in the boat and spoke to the storms, we too stand in the midst of the storms around us and rebuke the winds and the waves to command calmness into our territories.  Our faith overrides all our fears. Matthew 8:26  We will not suffer shipwreck in our lives, because we have faith and a good conscience. 1 Timothy 1:19

Lord we know you are about to arise and show your tender love to America. Now is the time, Lord, for your compassion and mercy to be poured out—the appointed time has come for your prophetic promises to be fulfilled. For your servants weep in sympathy over America’s ruins and feel love for her every stone. When you arise to intervene, all the nations and kings will be stunned and will fear your awesome name, trembling before your glory!  Yes, you will reveal yourself to America and appear in the brightness of your glory to restore her and give her children. Psalm 102:13-16 Now is the time we stand in righteousness. Now is the time we possess our land.  We take back what the enemy has stolen in Jesus name. Jehovah Shalom Your wholeness surrounds us.

Your Word says, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Put on Christ!  And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:9-14

Mighty God our Redeemer!  We recognize that before we can deal with the wickedness in this nation effectively we must deal with the wickedness within ourselves.  We put pressure on every stubborn demon and stronghold and break its grip in our lives. We uproot every stubborn root from our lives, in the name of Jesus.  Matthew 15:13 We loose humility and righteousness into the midst of our families and relationships.

We repent for every stubbornness which is self idolatry and rebellion which is as witchcraft in our lives and renounce it as sin and ask Your forgiveness. 1 Samuel 15:23

 Cleanse us by the water of the Holy Spirit and set us free to do the work that You have called us to.  Rest Your Spirit O Lord God upon us! Because You have anointed us and Your Spirit is upon us, we shall preach the good tidings to the poor; You are sending us to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3

Therefore Lord God, in fear and trembling, we are asking You to bring a burden against the spirit of Egypt and ride on a swift cloud into this nation America.  In Your presence the idols of celebrity, media, greed and power will totter and the heart of Egypt will melt in the midst of Your presence. You set Egyptians against Egyptians and they will fight brother against brother, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.  The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; destroy their counsel as they consult the idols and charmers, the mediums and the sorcerers. Isaiah 19:1-3

We declare and decree that this is the day that YHWH Tsabaoth, the Lord of Hosts, shall come upon everything proud and lofty,  upon everything high and lifted up, and it shall be brought low. Isaiah 2:12  Let the pride of the deep state stumble and fall, and no one raise him up.  Let the Lord kindle a fire in his cities and it will devour all around him. Jeremiah 50:32

In the name of Jesus, Lord raise up a foreign army against the pride of the prince of Tyre, the deep state. The most terrible of nations will draw their sword against the beauty of his wisdom. The Lord will defile the splendor of the proud spirit of the prince of Tyre, for his heart is lifted up declaring that he is a god.  He will throw him in a pit, and he shall die the death of the slain.  The Lord will break the spirit of the prince of Tyre and he will no longer call himself  a god, but a man, for he will die and become an outcast. Ezekiel 28:2, 7-8

We dismantle the scales of pride on the back of Leviathan.  Job 41:15 Let the wicked be taken in their pride and for the cursing and lying that they speak. Psalm 59:12

In the name of Jesus, we tear down and uproot demonic confederacies and strongholds of corruption in governmental leadership and authorities in states that plot evil to enslave the people and restrict our liberty to worship the true and living God.  We will subdue kingdoms, rain down righteousness, obtain promises and stop the mouths of lions because of our faith. Hebrews 11:33 

We are established and anointed by God.  2 Corinthians 1:21 Our steps are ordered by the Lord. YHWH Tsabaoth, Our Defender, the deep state is Your enemy. The deep state is America’s enemy.  America’s future, success and prosperity are in Your hands. Lord You are the God that swallows Your enemies.  You swallowed Pharaoh in the Red Sea.  You swallowed Korah in the earth because of his rebellion.  You caused the earth to swallow the flood released by the dragon. Revelation 12:16 You prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. Jonah 1:17 Stretch out Your right hand, O God, and let the enemy be swallowed up.

In Yeshua’s name let all discouragement and defeat be swallowed up. Let all assignments of hell against America be swallowed up. Let all the rods of the enemy be swallowed by the rod of God. Let every Korah that rises against America and our lives be swallowed up. Numbers 16:3

We declare and decree that the enemy plans for wickedness and to release the One World Order will fail. We call forth the Angel Armies to war on our behalf with the angel of darkness. As the Ring of Fire eclipse takes place the Angel armies will defeat the foe. Their entire plan shall fail in Jesus name. 

Insurrection and rebellion, witchcraft, sorcery, satanism, luciferianism, shamanism, totalitarianism, socialism, communism and atheism be swallowed up in Jesus name! We declare and decree, enemy, your wicked schemes against America are not tolerated. Fear and worry be swallowed up. Anxiety be swallowed up.  Frustration be swallowed up. Everything that would attempt to swallow up America and us, be swallowed up. Let every attack of hell against America and us be swallowed up in Jesus name. We declare and decree the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. Revelation 18:23

Let all wickedness against America and us be swallowed up as Pharaoh and his host were swallowed up in the Red Sea, or as Korah, Nathan, and Abiram were swallowed up in the earth.  We break the jaws of the wicked and pluck the spoil out of his teeth, so that he cannot swallow.  Lord rebuke the devourer  for America’s sake.  Let any problems  that would overwhelm America be swallowed up in the name of Jesus. Numbers 16:19-32

Lord, You are a God of wonders; let the powers of the deep state and hell be swallowed up. Exodus 15:11-12 We come against every stubborn stronghold of wickedness and destruction in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government that would attempt to stubbornly hold onto America. We command it to yield to the power of God and the name of Jesus. 2 Samuel 5:7 

We pray for those in leadership and authority in this nation.  That they would be God-fearing and recognize that they are accountable to Him for each decision and act. Proverb 9:10  We pray that they would be drawn to a saving encounter with Christ; if born again, that they be strengthened and encouraged in their faith. 1Timothy 2:4, Ephesians 1:17-23 We pray that they themselves would respect authority and practice accountability. Romans 13:1-7  We pray that they be granted wisdom, knowledge and understanding. James 1:5  We pray that they be given godly counsel and God-fearing advisors. Proverbs 24:6

We pray that those in authority who craft legislation and make the decisions regarding the constitutionality of laws would value and regard the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ as the superior law. We pray that You would convict and chasten each member of the Supreme Court and all lower courts who have chosen to uphold the law of man in rebellion to Your law! And that they would repent while there is still time.  Especially in the decisions regarding sexual orientation and abortion.  Psalm 9:7-11, John 8:31-32  That they endeavor to restore the sanctity of life, families, divine order and morality in our nation. Ephesians 5:22-6:4

Today we decree and declare that America partners with You and not the enemy of our souls. We know that all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.  The grass withers and its flower falls away, But the WORD of the Lord endures forever, just as Your gospel says. 1Peter 1:24-25

You’ve told America that Your thoughts towards us are good, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a future and a hope. And we believe Your thoughts. Jeremiah 29:11 We decree and declare America will not forget Your law. We will let our hearts keep Your commands for length of days and long life and peace will be added to us when we do. We trust You Lord with all our hearts, and will not lean on our own understanding. Because Your ways are not America’s ways, we may not understand what all You are doing in our lives and country, but we are choosing to trust you.  Proverbs 3:1-2, 5

We declare that America is called by Your name Yahweh.  We declare that the people of America choose to humble ourselves and pray and seek Your face in worship, prayer and Your WORD. We are sinners and purpose to turn from our wicked ways.  Will You forgive America for our sins? And heal our land? You made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm.  Surely nothing is too hard for You. America submits ourselves to You.  2 Chronicles 7:14, Jeremiah 32:17

We declare that America’s salvation is near because she shall fear You and glory shall dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are meeting together and righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of America’s earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes the Lord will give America what is good and our land will yield its increase and be great again. Righteousness will go before the Lord and shall make Your footsteps America’s pathway. Psalm 85:9-13

We declare America shall look among the nations, will watch and will be utterly astounded! For You O Yahweh will work a work in America’s days which we could scarcely believe even if You told us Your plans! Praise Your Holy Name! Habakkuk 1:5

Lord You promised that when we overcome and keep Your works until the end, You would give to us power over the nations. Thank You Lord that You keep Your Word to us. Revelation 2:26  The enemy may look like a giant but You have given us this land to possess and we shall dispossess the enemy inhabitants of the land and dwell in it!  And as we possess it we will grant redemption to it in Jesus name! Numbers 33:53, Leviticus 25:24

Precious Yeshua, as  we overcome we shall joyfully be clothed in white garments, and our name will be written in the Book of Life; You will confess our names before Your Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:5

People of God, faithful to hear! May the Lord bless you, and keep you: May the  Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you: May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.  He shall put His name upon the children of Israel, and He will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27

Almighty God as we reclaim our land and nation America, we ask You to bless it. The strength in our land is released to us when we are righteous and living on it. Today we verbally bless our land and ask for the release of the benefits and treasures that are ours. Health and wellbeing. Fruitfulness and lush valleys. Rich harvests and minerals brought from the earth.  Livestock and game on our plains and in our forests. Fish in our streams, rivers and oceans. A roof over our heads and food on our banqueting tables. Most importantly, eternity with You Lord!

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
