Join us in praying for the following world needs this week:

National Day of Prayer for Religious Liberty
A Great Success!
 
The National Day of Prayer for Religious Liberty was a great success! Dynamic events were hosted in at least 43 states and territories in Canada and overseas, with hundreds of people participating! This was a great representation for the first event of its kind that quickly was launched and implemented in less than a month, as soon as this great need was recognized. 
 
This historical event occurred Sunday, August 9, 2020 at 3:00 pm, specific to time zones in various localities across America, Canada, and around the world. The event was spearheaded by Bishop Art Hodges III, SoCal District Superintendent, as he worked with WNOP and other great leaders of various faiths. Everyone who believes in and worships the God of the Bible was encouraged to gather together.
 
The choice and Biblical significance of August 9th as the event date originated from parallels that the Lord placed upon Bishop Hodge’s heart: Jesus died at the Ninth Hour. The Temple veil was rent at the Ninth Hour. The Jews and Jesus’ disciples prayed at the Ninth Hour. The lame man begging at gate Beautiful was healed at the Ninth Hour. Cornelius saw an angel in prayer leading to salvation about the Ninth Hour. Most people are awake and active at the Ninth Hour (3:00 pm). The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is now considering a legal case for religious freedom, with the decision pending. Nine Supreme Court Justices will ultimately decide the fate of the Church in America. Israel’s first Temple was destroyed by Babylonians in 586 B.C. on the Ninth of Av (August). The second Temple was destroyed by Romans in 70 A.D. on the Ninth of Av (August).  Israel’s third Temple has not yet been rebuilt to date.
 
The enemy seeks to destroy the American Church in 2020. America was founded upon the religious liberty to worship the God of the Bible freely, the boundaries of which are now being challenged and defined arbitrarily by state governors. The religious freedoms of Churches are now being restricted in many ways. The “Let My People Go” themed event was a call to the Church and nationwide to engage in a Prayer, Faith, and Freedom Demonstration at every City Hall, County Administration Building, and State Capital. This also was a call for all of God’s children to lovingly voice and peacefully exercise their constitutional rights. Many people answered the call to “Go, Gather, Pray, Praise, and Proclaim in worship to God!” 
 
The expression has been coined “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And certainly, people participated and gathered…to do something, contending for our religious liberties! The captivating pictures below tell the story! Many people united to fulfill God’s purpose, knowing that “the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits!” And together, we made a difference! The Lord was there…and “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (II Corinthians 3:17)!

The World
“Global Prayer”

The nations in our world are in crisis today because its people either don’t know, or have turned away from God. However, there are good things happening in accordance with God’s will. One of those being the restoration of Israel, Jerusalem being made its capital, and the returning of the Jewish people to their homeland. This is where, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus will return. America, a nation founded on Biblical principles, has played a part in this restoration. And, as a result, is seeing the favor of God in its financial institutions. Recently, there have been talks with our president, and the leaders of other nations that have the potential for positive relations, which can lead to open doors for the Gospel. We are at a pivotal time in world and Church history for doors to be opened for the Gospel to reach every nation, tongue, and tribe of people. It is God’s will to give everyone the chance to receive the glorious, Gospel of Jesus Christ. This was a promise given to Abraham, and it will be fulfilled. We must not forget, as some have, that God will bless those who bless “the apple of His eye”, and curse those who do otherwise. We have seen this come to pass in our day. And, we have seen the world’s nations rise up against Jerusalem, fulfilling the words of the prophet saying, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:3). God has not forgotten His covenant with the land. If the Church will be unified in prayer, God will open doors for America to send missionaries to every nation in this world. God says He “will” pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Therefore, we must speak to bind the forces of darkness, as God reveals them to us, so the power of the Kingdom of Heaven (the Holy Ghost) will be poured out on all flesh. In spite of all the wickedness in this world, there are many who have not “bowed the knee to Baal”. If we will pray, He will heal the land. Today is the day for the worshipers of God to rise up, and speak into the spirit realm for our government and Church leaders so that in the end, whosoever will, may come. Everyone should know Him. Therefore, let us bind together and pray.

Pray that…

  • God would speak to, and turn the hearts of the leaders of the government(s) of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan, and reveal Himself through dreams and visions. 
  • God would give President Trump wisdom to negotiate with nations so a door would be opened for the Gospel to go to those not yet reached, and that our president would have a love for God. 
  • The United States and Israel would remain unified, for the peace of Jerusalem, for lawlessness to be bound, and righteousness to prevail worldwide as a result of this unity. 
  • Our president would have wisdom and equity in the negotiations regarding lawful immigration, and there would be funding for helping those in need, and unity in our government.
  • God would silence the deceptive words of the media, who deceive many, and open blind eyes.
  • God would have mercy on, and provide for the approximately 70.8 million refugees seeking asylum from Syria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Myanmar, Somalia, and throughout the world. 
  • God would expose every human trafficking ring, and bring to justice all responsible parties. 
  • Jezebel and the spirits of sexual immorality, materialism, and child sacrifice that are the motivating forces behind worship of demonic pagan deities, Baal, Molech, and Ashtorah would be bound, and for the love and fear of God, and natural affection to be loosed.
  • There would be a worldwide restoration of Apostolic Doctrine, resulting in the conversion of whole churches across the globe.
