FAITH AND FASTING

On January 1, we posted what might be called a Manifesto declaring war on the principalities of hell in America. I’m not talking about humans, but demonic entities ripping and tearing at everything true and good.

This is a battle unlike any other we’ve ever been involved in, a David and Goliath moment. We must fight for our nation, or we lose her. How we fight, however, is going to be different than how the world fights. We fight in spirit – in agreement with God’s Word – in prayer with FASTING, united with other believers doing the same.

In this light, today we post a few updates just below followed by the full text of the January 1 spiritual DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, 2024. It will continue to be our battle plan for 2024, a suggested topical prayer guide.

God bless and protect each of you in our family of faith, and your loved ones, in this season of praying and fasting over this very pivotal moment for America. For Jesus, and in His name…

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE 2024

Vision:
Our ultimate goal is to see TRUTH, HUMILITY, and WISDOM reign in our land, blessing and strengthening generations yet to come.

Mission Statement:
We aim to take down dark spiritual principalities, pharaohs of hell who’ve set up kingdoms in our nation. The plan is to engage the ultimate spiritual weapon given us by Christ Himself: PRAYER WITH FASTING. Matthew 17:21; Mark 9:29

Opening Prayer:
Father in Heaven, You are worthy, holy, pure and perfect. We owe everything to You, worship and adore You! Forgive us our faults and secret sins we’ve long ignored. Cleanse us, fill us with Your Spirit as we yield to You and You alone in the Heavens. Deliver us from evil as we fight in spirit and prayer for this nation. Cover the doorposts for us and those we love with the blood of Jesus. Please keep all You’ve entrusted to us safe and hidden in Your strong tower. Let nothing formed against us prosper! Wake Your people. Grant us wisdom and lead the way. Make Your people ready, cloak us in Your spiritual armor, and make our way perfect. We unite in prayer and fasting and ask You to hear our cry, forgive our sin and heal our land. All for Jesus, and in His name. Amen.
