Daniel’s Cry for Help!
Daniel's Cry for Help!
Saints of God, we know that in Scripture, when Israel's future was in danger, Daniel CRIED OUT to the Lord, freely confessing the sins of the Hebrew people and asking our Lord to rescue His people.
Here is that testimony taken from the Book of Daniel, Chapter 9:
3 Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. 4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and made confession, and said, "O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments, 5 we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. . .
18 O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies. 19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name."
(Please also meditate upon all of Daniel 9: 1- 19)

Daniel Chapter Ten
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, but the appointed time was long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. . .
"10 Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come."
. . . 18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!"

Today’s “Daniel Cry”
TODAY MARKS 21 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY:
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD, 2020!
As we view the polls and the news we are receiving about the outcome of this election, is it not time for us, too, to position ourselves as Daniel did, and to CRY OUT in repentance, for the deliverance of our nation?
Do we not need a MIRACLE to see righteousness maintained in the White House, and restored in the halls of government?
And does GOD never change??
Is He not capable of sending an angelic force to SAVE OUR NATION, when men's attempts may fail?
Will He not answer our cry?
Remembering Zion
Remembering Zion
"If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill!" (Psalm 137:5)
As we seek our Lord for the need to repent for our sins as a nation, let us also include our actions against Israel over time.
The Challenge
The Challenge
We ask each one of you to seek our Lord, beginning today, to enter into a fast of 21 days, as Daniel did.
Ask our LORD to show you what kind of fast He would call you to follow FOR THE NEXT 21 DAYS.
(For example, the classic "Daniel fast" is one of vegetables, only; but our Lord may have another plan for you to observe . . .)
Let us then trust Him to bring forth His will for our people as we fast and pray over the next 21 days on behalf of God's will for our General Election on Tuesday, November 3rd.
Let's lay SIEGE over ELECTION DAY, together, trusting our God to respond.
In Closing
In Closing
In closing, please meditate upon all of Psalm 106 during your own time of fasting during these 21 days.
As our nation, too, has sunk into great darkness and evil, please note what GOD did for His people, when they were "stuck in Bablyon" with no way of escape:
PSALM 106
43 Again and again he rescued them,
but they chose to rebel against him,
and they were finally destroyed by their sin.
44 Even so, he pitied them in their distress
and listened to their cries.
45 He remembered his covenant with them
and relented because of his unfailing love.
46 He even caused their captors
to treat them with kindness.
47 Save us, O LORD our God!
Gather us back from among the nations,
so we can thank your holy name
and rejoice and praise you.
48 Praise the LORD, the God of Israel,
who lives from everlasting to everlasting!
Let all the people say, "Amen!"
Praise the LORD!
About CHPP
About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10].
Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
