For Such A Time As This; Fast & Pray

This is an urgent fast called by Lou Engle for a three day Esther Fast from sundown on Wednesday, March 8th through the evening of Saturday, March 11th to counter this witchcraft   FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS Esther said, “I and my young women will also fast as you do. Afterward, though it is against the law, I will go to the king…and if I perish, I perish” (Esther 4:16)   There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions, either good or evil, spring up in the vacuum created by these openings. In such divine moments, key men, women and entire generations risk everything to become the hinge of history—the “pivot point” that determines which way the door will swing. The Esther Hour Esther is a prototype of history’s hinge—a courageous woman who humbly and artfully spoke truth to power. Facing witchcraft and dark conspiracies in Persia’s power base, Queen Esther risked her life, armed with nothing but a dying love for her people, a providential position of authority, her own dignity, and the secret arsenal of corporate prayer and fasting. Through her a nation was spared annihilation.    Three years ago in a leaders summit in Fredericksburg Virginia our meeting was sovereignly hijacked as the Lord shifted our focus toward the hidden taproot of strength in the godly women of America. We began to envision something of a million women gathering on the mall in Washington DC, similar to the Promise Keepers gathering, that would be a last-stand breakthrough to hold back darkness in America. Those hours of corporate intercession were as strong and clear as any prophetic moment I have ever encountered in thirty plus years of prayer, but at the time we could not see how it could be brought to pass. Habakkuk's statement seemed to be the counsel of the Lord to us, "Though the vision tarry, wait for it, it will surely come."  The Truly Empowered Woman That moment arrived January 21, 2017, the day after the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, as we watched hundreds of thousands of women take to the streets with the purported aim of “empowering women.” A vacuum had been created by this election, by historic women’s injustices, and yes, even by President Trump’s past hurtful statements towards women and minorities, and it seemed that a false heiress rushed in and was seeking now to become the hinge of history by framing the narrative of a future America that does not acknowledge God’s exalted view of women and His biblical design for her glorious purpose in the earth. Instinctively we had a corporate knowing: it was the time for the true empowered woman to stand up, for the meek (strength-filled humility) shall inherit the earth.     Hundreds of thousands of women watched the March, heard the vitriol, and could not identify with the radical ideologies being expressed that would not acknowledge God’s word and ways in the public controversy. This new woman declared deep inside her heart "this is not my revolution!” Now, like Esther, she is arising “for such a time as this”. It’s time for this corporate Esther to frame the future by recognizing and taking up her God-given role of persistent public persuasion in the open square as well as that of her humble appeal to God in prayer.   Fasting Through Purim The Women’s March was the first shot across the bow, heralding a revolutionary rise against the President of the United States, “We the People”, and in reality, the foundational biblical truths upon which our nation was founded. Soon after, the second shot was manifested publicly: an unprecedented global summons of witchcraft to curse President Trump, his cabinet and all of those aligned with a biblical worldview. Suddenly, the whole controversy was elevated to a global spiritual dimension, inaugurating a spiritual battle that cannot be won on the playing field of protests and political arguments. Only the Church has the answer to this unprecedented manifestation of witchcraft. Spiritual strategy must be used to overcome this open-faced, brazen challenge of the powers.   According to Derek Prince, Haman (the adversary in the Book of Esther), was practicing divination through the casting of lots, and was clearly aligning himself with demonic spiritual powers to destroy the whole Jewish population in the earth. Esther’s 3-day no-food-no-water fast broke the spiritual power channeled by Haman’s witchcraft. It effectively reversed the curse and shifted the whole public policy of the Persian Empire towards the Jewish people. I cannot stress this enough: we are in a similar day and a cataclysmic battle for the soul of our nation. We cannot live the same way we lived yesterday.  Recently, two women contacted me and asked me to use my influence to call for a three day Esther Fast to answer this challenge. Immediately after, I experienced a life-changing dream where I saw a nation-wide Esther movement arising that alone could break a major spiritual power of death. I knew then that I was to take my place as a Mordecai and call not only “Esther and her handmaidens” but the whole nation, to fast and pray for three days leading up to Purim. The Jewish holiday Purim celebrates God’s deliverance of the Jews through Esther’s fasting, sacrifice and courage. This year, Purim begins on Saturday evening, March 11th.  Therefore, we are seizing this sudden moment for a three day Esther Fast from sundown on Wednesday, March 8th through the evening of Saturday, March 11th to counter this witchcraft, to stand against the rising anti-Semitism,  pray for the President, and contend for the uprising of an Esther movement in America that will, among many things, reverse the decree of ‘73, Roe V. Wade, just as Haman’s decree was reversed.   Let the women arise as Esther’s for such a time as this and take their place in the courts of heaven and in the public courts of man to shape history in this hour.  If your heart burns, mobilize this fast to all your connections. Blow the trumpet in Zion! Call a fast! Consumed by the call,

Use of Tax Payers' Money

DAILY DIRECTIVE - DAY 27 // Feb. 28th

Use of Tax Payers' Money

Canada is a couple days away of attending an international conference called "She Decides" which will discuss various nations' participation in giving more money to abortion internationally. Many Canadians feel this would not be a good use of tax payers' money - especially when we have so many needs here at home such as clean water on first nations' communities, proper housing for them etc. Today please join us in prayer for our leaders to use wisdom in dispensing tax payers' dollars. Please pray that funding would not go to controversial things such as abortion but rather be used in ways that all Canadians can feel good about such as fighting poverty internationally, making more jobs for Canadians here at home, caring for our most vulnerable and the like. Thank you for your fervent intercession today on this issue as it is being deliberated over by our leaders right now.

Haggai 2:6-9

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.

5777 The Year of the Clashing of Swords

Wow! It has been over two years since I last posted here. A lot has gone on in this ministry and the direction the Lord has taken this it has broadened. This is still an intercession ministry but instead of focusing on praying for the sick the Lord has opened up many new doors and I believe it is time to start sharing what He has been doing and to see if I can round up prayer warriors who want to take this to the next level.

I'm in Canada but my eyes have been on the States watching the elections and witnessing all the changes going on. Before I go any further, I wish to state that if I was a resident of the States I would have voted for Donald Trump. He is amazing and I wish we had a prime minister here in Canada that has the depth of anointing that this man has. Now, I know there are many out there that don't like him and I can understand why, but the media has lied about his character and his actions are proving that. He supports Israel and that alone should bring great joy to Christian. We are told by God to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and President Trump is making peace and ushering in the prophecy's that are foretold in Scripture.

These are exciting but scary times!

This year is Canada's 150th birthday and I have been part of 150 days of prayer for Canada. I'm going to share those prayer points here and I hope you will pray along with me for a reformation not only in Canada but in the States and all of North America.

My country is in a very bad spot since our new liberal Prime Minster Justin Trudeau has come in. Right now the government is looking at passing a motion, M-103, which, in short, is a motion to take away free speech from Christians. It looks pretty bad.  Here's a clip from The Rebel Media.

As you can see this does not look good for Canada. Would you consider praying against this motion that has already passed the first step. The next voting on it is in April.

One more thing. March 3-5 Franklin Graham is coming to Vancouver to hold a festival of hope and there has been a huge attack from some of the Christian leaders on the coast. It is really sad. Here is a link to the CBC news article explaining. Just click on Franklin Graham's picture and it should direct you.

Festival of Hope

Canada needs a man like Franklin Graham to share the real Word of God and stir up the churches to take a stand God and His righteousness. My prayer is that he will travel throughout Canada calling the Christians to repent and seek after God, just like he did before the US elections.

Thank you for reading and praying!

Psalm 122:6 ESV

 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!"

Blessings,
