Renewal, Intercession, and God's Promises for Our Nation
Summary
In the presence of God, we seek His divine intervention and the outpouring of His Spirit upon all His people. We call upon the Holy Spirit to invigorate our inner being, renewing our souls, strengthening our bodies, and fortifying our spirits. We celebrate God's preservation, acknowledging His protection over our lives, our health, and our journeys. Our covenant with God, sealed by the blood of Yeshua, promises us peace and abundant life, free from sickness and calamity. We declare that with long life, God will satisfy us, and we will not be held by death but welcomed into glory.
We recognize God's specific callings and blessings upon individuals, such as those named Kim, who are experiencing a new season of favor and open doors. We also intercede for those like Justin, who are troubled by fear, commanding every evil spirit to depart in Yeshua's name. We pray for healing over those with physical ailments, declaring restoration and wholeness over every part of their bodies.
As we gather, we are reminded of the importance of standing firm in our faith and values, especially in the face of societal and political challenges. We are called to be a remnant, a small but powerful group that remains steadfast in God's truth. We must use our voices to speak life and righteousness over our nation, ensuring that our actions align with God's will.
In prayer, we seek God's intervention in our nation's affairs, asking Him to disrupt the plans of the enemy and bring about His justice and righteousness. We declare that it is God's turn to act, to show His power and make His name known. We trust in His timing and His ability to turn the tide in our favor, believing that He will bring about a great awakening and transformation.

Quotes
1. "A new day of the blessing of God where he is calling you out. He's calling you out by name to show you that not only are the hairs of your head numbered, but you've been numbered in the beloved, and God is extending his hand of grace to you and opening up new doors. In fact, there is a Kim that you are in the middle of a job change, and God is saying, stretch your hands, Kim, the one with the job to your right, to the right side of you. And the Lord said you're going to have the right hours, the right benefits, the right pay, the right timing, and the right door is going to begin to open for you." [16:57] (47 seconds)
2. "And here's what I feel. And those of you that are watching, we need to pray specifically. And I'm already watching it. In Exodus 14, there was a moment where God looked through unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire. Okay. In verse 24, if they'll put it up, this is really important because there's a moment where God inserted himself. And what people often say to me is it seems like evil keeps prevailing. Evil keeps winning. When are we going to win? We're already winning. And you have to go back to Exodus 8 where it looked like everything was even, where there was, you know, the magicians could do everything that, quote, the power of God could do." [39:07] (45 seconds)
3. "And so here's what we have to realize. When they throw out the life of the mother rape, that is like a very, very small percentage. Most of it is it's because of they didn't want the baby because of convenience. And they got into a sexual immoral issue, whatever. So we have to be careful and start getting the law behind it and you start manipulating things. So my thought is take the higher ground always. Take the moral side always. So I don't think it's an issue of being confused. I really don't. So we'll talk about it this Sunday about those initiatives so you in Nebraska know what is just good common moral conscience that you need to consider." [37:31] (54 seconds)
4. "And I say to this nation who is on the Lord's side. When you think about how it's come down to them chanting, kill more babies to others saying, no, we got to fight for the kids. It's who's on the Lord's side. It's Deuteronomy. I set before you life and death, choose life. This is, isn't hard. God is looking at where we stand. And are we going to stand with the rebels like number 16? Remember, God called them all out, the whole nation. And there was, there was a core and 250 rebels. Kind of sounds like a certain percentage of the house and the Congress. And God made them decide as a nation." [41:34] (41 seconds)
5. "And you know what? It came down to 300 men. And you know why? Because they knelt down like this. And they kept their eye on the enemy. Because they realized the only way to deliver their nation is they cannot get caught up in what a lot of Christians are doing. It's all about them. The other 9,700 put their face in the water and lapped up the blessings and took their eye off the nation. Thus, there would be no deliverance to the country or to the nation. That's where a lot of people are at. Because they're just, it's all about them. And they put their head down. I'm not hanging my head. I've been fighting for over four years now. So are you. And we're going to continue to fight." [48:08] (45 seconds)
6. "And here's the thing. The 300 had a warring spirit. They had a different spirit that thought, you know what? I might be thirsty, but I am going to deliver this nation for the sake of the children and others that are not here at this water. Okay? So ultimately, the test came down to this. Their spirit, would they be a warrior? Would they be afraid? Would they just lap up blessings? Second, it came down to how and if they would use their tongue, speak right over your country, vote, right? That's part of your voice. Don't let God disqualify you." [49:50] (44 seconds)
7. "And I decree from that office. Shalom. Shalom. Peace. Over the satellites. Over the electric grids. Peace. Peace over the sun, the moon, the stars. Peace over our election. Peace over the transition. Peace over our waterways and our water, our food supply, our transportation. Peace. Shalom. I speak it. And in the office in which I stand, may your agenda go forth and deliver your people. In the land of grace 5785 Means healing and forgiveness and grace It's your turn now Come on, it's your turn now It's your turn now Father, you know what I mean? 2 Chronicles 7 .14 If the people will do their part Then you will hear from heaven And you will heal their land."
