Washington, D.C. area (Pentagon City, Arlington, Virginia)

Approximately 85-90 ministry leaders, issue experts and intercessors from throughout America gathered for two days of all-out prayer for the USA one week before its mid-term elections (November 4). We were determined to avoid the syndrome of most American conferences- lots of talking and very little praying- so the many excellent presentations were limited to 10 minutes and we tried to spend twice as much time praying in response. The Lord was with us to lead and anoint this approach as we heard from many well-informed people, who each presented a brief overview and strategic prayer concerns for a particular issue facing the USA at this time.

We identified and repented for the sins of the nation, most of which we had to acknowledge were the result of the Church not providing sufficient "salt and light" to the surrounding culture and nation and because of its general prayerlessness. We also prayed for reconciliation and the healing of division between leaders, churches and para-church organizations, including the racial divide that has torn us apart and continues to sow bitterness, especially among African Americans and the growing number of Hispanics. We asked the Lord to grant us spiritual revival and moral restoration.

Other issues that we focused prayer on were the following:
Government and the mid-term elections
Business and the marketplace
Education and the government's plan to introduce Common Core
The Family, an institution under assault
The battle for life and protection of the unborn
Reaching the lost
The unity and strengthening of the prayer movement
Youth, children and for emerging leaders of the next generation
Religious freedom endangered by recent decisions of the courts in favor of same-sex marriage
The media
False religion and the occult invasion
National security issues, including our military forces and the threat of radical Islam and ISIS.

We concluded by focusing on the supremacy of Jesus Christ our Lord and with a few minutes of complete silence on our knees together.

We heard encouraging prophetic words from one prophetic leader who told us that he saw a vision of a coming storm that would break the power of the dark forces with which America is struggling and bring in a new era of spiritual revival and restoration. Another prophetic message from an Arab American participant is attached below. What welcome messages these are!

We believe that history does belong to the intercessors and that the Lord will do "far more abundantly" than all we have asked or imagined during the NPA. He will bring about true "hope and change" for the USA as we continue to pray and trust Him along with hundreds of thousands of others across the nation.

Prophetic dream
I saw a physical map of the United States. Then the map transformed into a giant bride that stood up slowly. She was dirty and her dress was dirty. However, she started shaking her self from her head to her feet till all the dirt and soot fell off. I saw all kinds of evil and creatures fall off of her. She looked at her dress and was happy with what she saw. Next, the US bride turned around, extended her arms , embraced and hugged the world real tight. End of vision

Please pray with us for the USA to stand up and shake off the numerous bad moral, political and spiritual influences that have weakened and besmirched her. Pray that strong, good leaders will be put into power and that spiritual revival and moral restoration will soon grace our nation to the glory of the Lord.
