Update From DC

Hey Everyone
So the Lord recently made away for me to travel to Washington D.C and California to join on the last part of  a 40 days prayer and fasting push with The Call and Bound4life teams. 
Right now Im in D.C. with the Bound4life team at the JHOP (Justice House of Prayer) 
Everyday we have different teams praying in front of the supreme court and at the prayer room from 9:30 am to 3 pm and we do a corporate prayer meeting at nights called "Rumbles" where we worship the Lord and intercede for america together. 
 
So far this trip has been really intense... There was a soberness that hit me harder once I got here... being here in the nations capital, praying in front of the supreme court,  there is a such a clarity of  how HISTORICAL this elections are!  and the Fear of the Lord is on me for my self and the body of Christ... we cannot be asleep right now!

The Word of God is clear on what matters to Him, and right now the issue of life and the sanctity of marriage are hanging in the balance of this elections... I believe we as the Body of Christ  MUST take a stand and pray for God's perfect will to be done! 

I believe that we must have a louder cry for MERCY than this nation has a cry for change!

We need GOD
We need His Justice and Righteousness to rule in America again
We need an awakening!


Through the Bible we clearly see the Lord using His people to influence the leadership of nations, He has called us to pray for the government (1st Tim 2:1-2), to pray for justice (luke 18:1-8) and to stand in the gap as intercessors for the nation (Ezek 22:30)

Just as Moses was able by his relationship with God was able to go up the mountain to plead for Israel and move the heart of God towards that nation, I believe that we as a Royal Priesthood have that opportunity again! To go before the Lord and cry out for mercy on america and that He would not give us what we deserve but that He would give us what we need! 

Psalms 106 shows us a picture of this, because of Israel's disobedience, her immorality  and the shedding of innocent blood, God said that He would destroy them... 
HAD NOT MOSES HIS CHOSEN ONE  STOOD BEFORE HIM IN THE GAP  vs 23

vs 44-45  Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, and for their sake He remembered His covenant and relented according to the multitude of His mercies 

The history of Israel was changed by one man standing in the gap in prayer!
Let it not be said of us that God sought for someone to stand in the gap and found none.

This is for real, time is short... we need to fast and pray 
and I thank the Lord that His love never fails, that He is slow to anger, and that He delights in showing us mercy. 
Mercy triumphs over judgement 

"Have mercy on us Lord, give us not what we deserve, give us not into the false promises of change by men, GIVE US MERCY, Give us justice and righteousness in America! Raise up a standard of Holiness in our nation, God end abortion and send revival to America... In Jesus name.  Amen"
