Towards the end of August, two prayer leaders, one Indonesian and one American called me within a few days of each other, both saying they were deeply stirred by the current plight of the USA with growing lawlessness and rioting gripping many cities here.
Their calls came as a confirmation to me since I was already feeling that America was in a fight for survival as the free society we have known and appreciated her to be. Under the guise of racial justice protests, Marxist agitators working through Antifa and Black Lives Matter as well as other communist-inspired organizations have been trying to burn down U.S. cities and throw the country into revolutionary chaos as they have long planned.
The November 3 national election will be the most important one in our national history because it will determine whether the USA will become the willing tool of these oppressive forces or continue to stand for Judeo-Christian values, freedom, and human rights within this country and throughout our world.
We in the American prayer movement were so glad to hear that our Indonesian brothers and sisters in Christ wanted to rally the global Body of Christ to pray for America during this crucial time.
On September 11th, Indonesian and American prayer leaders co-hosted a global online prayer call via YouTube called “Trumpet Call to the Nations: Global 9/11 Prayer for America”. You can see the full video on this link https://youtu.be/F7pmkOXhBSs It begins with a moving video called “Praying for America”, a splendid aerial video of the country set to the lovely, worshipful music “As One We Stand” by Terry and Barbi Franklin who are both worship leaders and intercessors. (That video has since been adapted for churches and prayer groups to use as a prayer video with specific concerns for the nation now and is attached below for your use.)
Daniel Pandji, the Indonesian leader who mobilized prayer in his country and around the world for the USA, and Frank Amedia, a prophetic pastor who leads a prayer ministry for the US government, both shared their provocative visions about the extreme danger facing our country and the need for us to be midwives in securing deliverance through united prayer at this crucial time.
Rick Ridings and Succat Hallel gave us an encouraging prophetic word from Jerusalem. After David Demian with two Chinese leaders asked forgiveness for those nations that have resented and cursed America, DC prayer leaders received those confessions and blessings and then led us in prayer for the three branches of the US federal government.
From there we embarked on an extended prayer tour to a dozen American cities for a continued time of repentance and prayer with worship led by both American and Indonesian ministry leaders. What a marvellous and moving time to be in the presence of the Lord together, with such unity in spite of our cultural diversity!
We as Americans are so very grateful to the Indonesians and other brothers and sisters in Christ who took the time to be with us and lift America to His Throne of Grace. May we see His breakthroughs come as a result in the coming weeks and especially during the November 3rd election!
