In the USA, prayer network and ministry leaders are feeling led of the Lord to connect in intercession for our nation every week by conference calls until October. October 18-20, as many of them as possible will gather in Colorado Springs for a face to face time of standing in the counsel of the Lord together to hear presentations on the current national security threats, to pray in response and to seek God for a united strategy of national spiritual preparedness. The details are attached below if you are a prayer network or ministry leader and would like to take part.

In our calls, we are utilizing 2 Chronicles 20 as the basis for our times of intercession, remembering how the Lord delivered His ancient people when they were attacked by a combined force of three enemy armies. The wise response of King Jehoshaphat was to seek the Lord first and then to call a fast and united prayer response. There are many wonderful and helpful principles from their experience that can guide us in praying for the security of our own nations in this time of special vulnerability to terrorism and other possible dangers.

Intercessors are the “last line of defense” for a nation as we see in 2 Chronicles 20, Isaiah 62 and Ezekiel 22:30. It is as if a mighty rampart begins to mount up larger and stronger each time we unite to pray together for our nation and the specific threats it faces. The Lord builds up a wall of protection, an invisible shield that disempowers the principalities and powers that under the “prince of this world” seek pretexts to sow chaos and destruction if they can. The discerning, Spirit-led prayers of intercessors keep them at bay and are used by God to even change the atmosphere and history of communities and nations.  

These are some of the issues that we have been praying about in recent weeks and ask that you join us in this intercession for the peace and protection of our world:

1.For the church and its leaders and especially the prayer movement to become alert, listening to God and watching on the wall through prayer as Isaiah and Ezekiel remind us to do (Isaiah 62 and Ezekiel 22:30) to fend off the attacks of the enemy and the destruction he wants to bring on our nations.

2.For real clarity and good coordination among defense and intelligence agencies in our governments to perceive and counter threats of terrorists or other states with evil and aggressive intentions.

3.Radical Islamic groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda that are seeking to penetrate into many nations to cause chaos and disruption through terror attacks. That both lone wolves and cells of operatives will be discovered and stopped from undertaking such destructive plans.

4. Russia’s insecurity and attempts to bring former Soviet states like Ukraine back into its circle of control and influence are causing a showdown with the USA and its NATO allies. Its hundreds of muscle-flexing incursions into the airspace of Western nations with its strategic bombers.

5.China’s enormous military build-up and increasingly aggressive behavior in the Asia Pacific region that could spark conflict with SE Asian countries and the U.S. Navy.

6.North Korea led by Kim Jong-un, an unstable and possibly maniacal leader who routinely threatens South Korea and the USA with nuclear missile attack.

7.Greatly increasing cyber attacks by rogue nations, criminal and terrorist organizations on government and private sector computers and vital infrastructure like the national power grid.

8.Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction- North Korea’s export of ballistic missiles and related materials to several countries including Iran and Syria. Iran’s effort to build and deploy nuclear weapons on missiles that the recent deal does not prevent.
