“I AM Cleansing the Land” by Joanne
Holbrook The United States of America is the only country that has ever been founded on the premise that the citizen is sovereign. The USA is based on the timeless idea that all men are created equal, and that we are endowed with God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The United States’ Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights guarantee that freedom for its citizens based on the responsibility of that citizen to live morally and ethically according to a specific set of Judeo-Christian behavioral guidelines. And these are precisely the primary reasons the USA is under attack, and from both foreign and domestic enemies. “Many of the foundations God laid through His sons and daughters in the USA have been eroded. Disobedience began to infiltrate God’s children, and as it grew, the spiritual foundations were compromised. This gave the enemy a legal right to claim more territory. However, God still has a remnant who are standing for Him. You and others He has called are representing Him and His interest at this time. It is a critical hour. Many things will be shaken that are not built upon God. His kingdom will never be shaken. Make God your priority and you too will never be shaken. Hebrews 12:27 states: ‘This means that the things will be shaken so that only the unshakable things will be left.’ ‘And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.’” —Isaiah 61:4 [Source] Understand the necessity of moral
government Christians Can Change World Events As the ekklesia, Christians have altered the course of history and governments by emphasizing Biblical methods of prayer and fasting. It has been documented that even recent history has been shaped through prayer. Examples include the Second World War in North Africa, the birth of the state of Israel, the end of the Stalin Era, the independence of Kenya, East Africa, and the presidential election of 2016, USA. Regarding the latter, be encouraged to enjoy just a few of the prophecies dating as far back as April 4, 2007 here and here. Uncomfortable with prophecy? Understand more about the New Testament spiritual gift of prophecy 101 here. We the people, today, can too—implement change even in local, state, and national governments. We the people proclaim a National Day of
Fasting, Prayer, and Humility Sunday, May 4, 2025. The same has preceded
monthly since November 4, 2009. Concise
Prayer Points for the Whole of 2024 and ‘25 Thanks
to our God and His contemporary prophetically-gifted, we have supernatural
(prophetic) intel. And thus, we have proclamations and decrees to vocalize
(reference Eph. 6:17b). One particular prominent contemporary
prophetically-gifted happens to be Julie
Green Ministries, through whom God has provided us with proclamations, or
“Marching Orders.”
Our
awesome God provides prophecies almost daily through Julie Green here. And here is a list documenting our
God’s fulfilled prophecies through
Julie Green Ministries. God’s Justice IS Being Served Covertly As you may know, the press cannot be trusted—it has been bought and sold. As followers of Jesus, it is imperative to understand what is truly going on ‘behind the scenes.’ Our God’s righteous justice IS being served, and the Enemy is going down swinging—it APPEARS very dark for now. God’s righteous justice will come to a head this calendar year and is on schedule to be concluded by Passover next year (5785 or 2025). Be strongly, strongly encouraged to begin to understand what is authentically and stunningly going on behind the scenes and why HERE. Concise
History Lesson Our world
is on fire. Genocide. Human trafficking. Pedophilia rings. Adrenochrome. The
Cabal. The Great Reset—New World Order—the One World Government. Ukraine is
one of the most corrupt countries of all time. Open borders. Cartels. C O V I D - 1 9 scam. And
China and Iran are flexing their muscles. The diabolical lust for
power of dictators and oppressors are replete in humankind’s history. Yet,
since World War II, something happened that secured authentic relative peace
and world-wide economic expansion for
decades. What was it? Hint: It was not about the exemplary lust for power,
oppression, terror, or money. It did
however, include morality. In less than 6-minutes, NATO's former Secretary
General and Denmark's former Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen provides a concise history lesson and prayer
points for us today. “By the President of
the United States of America. A
Proclamation. Whereas, the Senate
of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just
Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by
a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for
National prayer and humiliation. And whereas it
is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the
overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble
sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and
pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures
and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is
the Lord. And, insomuch as
we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to
punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the
awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a
punishment, inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end
of our national reformation as a whole People? We have been the recipients of
the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in
peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other
nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the
gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and
strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our
hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and
virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too
self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too
proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us
then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national
sins, and to pray for clemency [mercy] and forgiveness. Now, therefore,
in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the
Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the
30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting and
prayer. And I do hereby request all the People to abstain, on that day, from
their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several places of
public worship and their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the
Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to
that solemn occasion. All this being
done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized
by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on
high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national
sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country, to its
former happy condition of unity and peace. In witness
whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the City
of Washington, this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United
States the eighty seventh. By the
President: Abraham Lincoln William H. Seward, Secretary of State.” The above proclamation is preserved in the Library of
Congress as Appendix number 19 in volume 12 of the United States At Large. It
was initiated by a resolution of the United States Senate, and was officially
declared by President Lincoln on March 30, 1863.

To download an MP3 message "Intervening by Prayer in National Affairs” by Derek Prince, please click here. “The [above proclamation] message of the United States Senate, officially declared by President Lincoln contains two related themes that may challenge our careful consideration. First, the proclamation
acknowledges the unique blessings enjoyed by the United States, but suggests
that these blessings have brought about an attitude of pride and self‑sufficiency
that are the root causes of a grave national crisis. Some of the phrases
could apply with equal force to the condition of the nation today: “We have
grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.... We
have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these
blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.... We
have become too self-sufficient ... too proud to pray to the God that made
us!” Second,
the proclamation unequivocally acknowledges “the overruling power of God” in
the affairs of men and nations. It indicates that behind the political,
economic, and military forces of history, there are divine spiritual laws at
work; and that by acknowledging and submitting to these laws, a nation may
change its destiny, averting threatened disaster and regaining true peace and
prosperity. In particular, the proclamation sets forth one specific,
practical way in which a nation may invoke on its own behalf “the overruling
power of God”—by united prayer and fasting. The author of this proclamation, Abraham Lincoln, is generally regarded, both by Americans and by the world at large, as one of the shrewdest and most enlightened of American presidents. He was a man of sincere faith and deep convictions, but he never sought membership in any of the Christian denominations of his day. In no sense could he be considered as unbalanced or extreme in his religious views. Further, this proclamation was not merely the product of Lincoln's private convictions. It was requested by a resolution of the entire United States Senate. How
shall we assess the deep and unanimous convictions of men of this caliber?
Shall we dismiss them as irrelevant or out‑of‑date? To do this
would be merely the mark of unreasoning prejudice. Rather,
we owe it to ourselves to give honest and careful consideration to this
proclamation and the issues that it raises. Is
there a divine Power that overrules the destinies of nations? Can this Power
effectively be petitioned by prayer and fasting? It is to the examination of these questions that this [book] is devoted. An answer will be offered from four main sources: first, the teaching of Scripture; second, events of world history during or after World War II; third, the annals of American history; fourth, records of personal experience in the realm of prayer and fasting.” —Derek Prince, in his book entitled, Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting
The simple yet powerful tools you need to have an impact on the destinies of
your family, church, locale, country, and the world. Excerpt reproduced here
with permission. Why is it important that we, as citizens in this Republic, get involved and remain involved in making and protecting public policy? America is the only country that has ever been founded on the premise that the citizen is sovereign. As such, we are obligated to rule and govern ourselves, under God. We need to fulfill this obligation by exercising our sovereignty in a responsible way, starting with prayer. Understand Our Need for Government and its Real Nature
Why
the Left and Right Clash Over National Identity Pray for
President Trump “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As
you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks.
Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can
live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and
pleases God our Savior, for He wants everyone to be saved and to understand
the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God
and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave His life to purchase freedom
for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper
time.” —1 Timothy 2:1-6 This event of A National Day of Fasting, Prayer, and Humility or this website are not outreaches of Derek Prince Ministries, and are in no way associated with the same. We simply have found this book to be a powerful and effective tool! May God bless you in this endeavor to know Him through Jesus the Christ (Y’shua Messiah) more and more and more, and to know the power of His love. Be of good cheer, be not afraid; He has overcome the world! |
