9/11/01 was a world-changing event, a "set time," trumpeting God's purposeful call to the Body of Christ. The events of that cataclysmic day heralded a call to America's destiny and for the nations to arise. Since that fateful day, a divinely inspired hunger for His Presence, to pursue God, to know Him has been growing in hearts of a remnant of believers and is reflected in Amos 9:11, "On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old." History is replete with the life-changing, culture-transforming benefits of ongoing prayer in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David. Accentuated by the events of 9/11, we are once again in a "set time" for the ingathering of the worshipers, who will worship Him in spirit and truth. This desire has ignited a growing movement as prayer rooms, houses of prayer, prayer centers, or simple gathering of saints in communities to worship Him are emerging across the globe. It is not only an individual but a corporate call to intimacy with the Lord.
As a complementary addition to the present day church, the present-day restoration of the spirit of the Tabernacle of David is propelling the church into its finest hour. As people reach across denominational lines to answer the call to corporately worship, relationships are being restored and built. Barriers between churches, cities, and even nations are breaking down as the love of God knits hearts together in worship and praise. In His Presence, God is restoring and deepening ancient foundations of the church, the greatest commandments Jesus spoke of, to love God and to love one another (Matthew 22:38-39). As the church rises to this call, Romans 11:25 is transpiring, "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in."
The purpose of this book is to relay the biblical, historic and prophetic import of repairing the walls of intercessory worship in our communities in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David, to encourage those called to build it and to give revelation and insight for the church to receive it. The book relays biblical foundations with historic and present day applications of the import of this restoration process. It is not meant to be a dispensational theology, but rather a realistic, empowering guide to help encourage and establish city/region wide worship that leads to personal and community transformation. The book is a result of years of mobilizing a regional intercessory worship watch and developing a network throughout our state that has now reached into the nations, particularly Israel and the Middle East. We have seen these gatherings build and view it as an emerging move of God that is a call from heaven. It is a call in these tumultuous times that will lead to prophetic fulfillment of the nations, of Israel, and prepare the way for His return.
We will be convening the All Nations Convocation and Watchmen's Tour of Israel on 16th - 30th September 2012. We expect more delegates than ever as we will also celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations and continual 24/7 worship and intercession.

Shalom in Messiah’s love,
Calling Christians in all nations to stand in solidarity with Jerusalem and her King, praying together for her peace and security on June 7th each year, beginning in 2012, but also throughout the year. We will commemorate and give thanks to God for the fact that after thousands of years, on this historic day in 1967, Jerusalem was reunited as the Capital of Israel. (Luke 21:24-33) While this date changes each year on the Jewish calendar, we are commemorating each year the actual day that it happened in 1967, June 7th.
Greetings from Jerusalem!
The importance of standing in united prayer for Jerusalem remaining the united capital of Israel with Jews and Arabs living together is more important than ever this year due to the threats internally in the Middle East and from numerous places worldwide to divide Jerusalem. We also pray that God will open a fountain over the House of David (Jewish people) and other inhabitants of Jerusalem (largely Arabs). Historically and covenantally, Jerusalem was King David's city and is the city of our Great King Mt. 5:35. The mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barak says historically there has never been a successful experience when a city has been divided; also Jerusalem has never been the capital of any other nation than Israel.

We will pray for:
1. Jews and Arabs as brothers, cousins, and natural children of Abraham to grow deeper in love and unity with God and each other in Jerusalem, Israel and the Middle East. (Isa. 19:23-25)
2. His people to look on Him and that He will open a fountain over both communities, the House of David and all the other inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Zach. 12:10-13:1)
3. Jerusalem to fulfill the plans of God's heart and be a place of justice for all. (Lev. 19:15, Eze. 47:22, Micah 6:8, Amos 5:24)
4. God to strengthen the leaders and people of Jerusalem and Israel to stand in His everlasting covenant that Jerusalem, the City of the Great King, will remain the Capital forever. (Gen. 14:18-22, Ps. 48:1-2,3, Psa. 122:3-7, Zech. 12:5)
5. Watchmen in all nations and cities to take no rest and give God no rest day and night standing in solidarity worshipping and interceding for Jerusalem. (Isa. 62:6, Zech. 12:4)
6. The way to be prepared for the coming of the King of Glory to the Mt. of Olives, to open and go through the Golden/Eastern Gate and take up the Throne of David, (Ps. 24, Eze. 43:1-7, Isa. 9:7) resulting in judgment on the nations that try to divide Jerusalem and the land of Israel. Pray that your nation will stand with Jerusalem. (Joel 3:1,2, Zech. 12:1-3, Matt. 5:35)
7. Shalom to Jerusalem and her becoming a praise in all the earth forever. (Isa. 62:7)
8. Her King will reign as Prince of Peace over Jerusalem, Israel, (Isa. 9:6), the Middle East (Isa. 19:23-25) and all nations forever. (Zech. 14:9)
Moving Into Action (MIA2012; http://www.mia2012.co.za/) is a large-scale volunteer and missions mobilization conference with outreaches, to be hosted Pretoria, South Africa from 25 - 27 June 2012.
This year, the Global Day of Prayer Broadcast by God TV is very special. Not only will God TV once again broadcast a full 4 hours on 27 May but also as part of the World Prayer Assembly from Jakarta National Stadium, Indonesia, on 17 May with Graham Power and Rory Alec in the studio. This is very significant as it is also the day that kicks off the 10 Days of Prayer preceding the Global Day of Prayer. More information will follow shortly.
New Developments in the Balkans
In October 2008, I had the privilege to be with prayer leaders from most of the nations in the Balkan region. During this meeting, the Balkan Prayer Network was formed. It was one of the most amazing experiences when leaders from nations, who have been fighting bloody tribal and ethnic wars over the centuries, united in prayer and repentance. Well, that group is reuniting again on May 1-3 in Skopje, Macedonia. Every indication is that the prayer movement in the Balkan nations is growing and about to really take off.
Please Pray for This Strategic Gathering!
Another exciting development is the release of the website www.balkannetworks.org. The idea is really what the name implies, for people and networks in the Balkan region to connect, share vision, and stand together for the Kingdom of God to come. We hope that the website can serve as a gathering point for initiatives, stories, and information about what God is saying and doing in the region.
A date for a Balkan Wide Prayer Day has also been set for the 2nd of September 2012. The organizers are asking everyone to stand in unity and join one another in praying for the Balkan region. There won't be a central gathering; everyone will be encouraged to pray where they are. Visit the website for more information and to sign up for the day.

Pray for the Horn of Africa
God is calling 1 million people to pray for 100 million people who live in the Horn of Africa. Why don't you join today and pray for the Horn of Africa? http://prayforthehorn.com/
Somalia currently has little or no Christian witness among its people. In Eritrea, believers are cruelly persecuted in an effort to stamp out any vital expression of faith. Numerous people groups with no access to the gospel in their heart language live in Ethiopia & Northern Kenya. Islam remains the stronghold for the peoples of Djibouti.

reports:
Bombs are exploding as war continues to escalate between Sudan and South Sudan. Sudan's president declared war against the south last week.
Peter Howard with Food for the Hungry (http://globaldayofprayer.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61b0c63c85d40ff9701a40c76&id=10842048af&e=f9768a534f) reports that the heightened tensions have affected their programs. "The government of South Sudan told their communities - communities in which FH is working - (to have) their people dig fox holes so that when the bombings come, they can go in to those fox holes to get cover; but also the conflict gets too much, so people actually start fleeing or moving." "As conflict increases, food prices increase, and food becomes more scarce. So right now, the big concern is malnutrition.... There are concerns that malnutrition could increase by 50% in the coming weeks because of the challenge of getting food in and out of Sudan right now.”
But Howard says the Gospel is making a difference. "We feel that being there and sharing the message -- the Gospel of peace -- is critically important. Our hope is that people not only will sense it physically and feel real peace, but also know the peace of Christ." Prayer is most important, says Howard.

Sudanese President Omar Hassan Bashir has practically declared war against South Sudan, the world's newest country, by stating that his main goal is now to "liberate" the southern people from their rulers, following recent border fighting.
The Heglig oil field, which is recognised by the international community as part of Sudan and was seized by the southerners this month, "will not be the end. The end will be in Juba," Bashir told a rally on Wednesday. He told the crowd that his message to South Sudan was: "Either we end up in Juba and take everything or you end up in Khartoum and take everything."
That clearly means, if Bashir acts accordingly, that it will be an open war between the Khartoum government in the north and the southern authorities based in Juba.
It is the peak of tensions between Khartoum and Juba since South Sudan became an independent state last July, after decades of a bitter civil war which killed two million people.
The Juba government says that it was forced to seize Heglig because the northerners had been using it as a base to launch attacks on South Sudan, which is ruled by the former rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement.
Forces of the north and south have been fighting in several areas since South Sudan seceded from Sudan following a referendum held last year. The feud is essentially a creation of the British colonial power, which gave little regard to the sharp disparity between the Arab Muslim-dominated north and the mostly African south when it ended its rule of the area in the 1960s. The north-south conflict had been simmering since then, but it burst out into an open civil war in the mid-1980s. An internationally brokered agreement ended the fighting in 2005 and led to the 2011 referendum and creation of South Sudan.
However, Khartoum and Juba failed to agree on several key issues. These include transit fees Juba should pay Khartoum to use its oil pipeline, demarcation of the border, division of national debt, conflicting claims to the oil-producing area of Abyei in the south and the rights of citizens who after separation found themselves in a foreign country. It is estimated that there are 500,000 southerners in Sudan and 80,000 northerners in South Sudan. The two sides accuse each other of supporting rebel groups.
There is no longer any pretence of peace and any understanding between Bashir and South Sudan President Salva Kiir. Both sides are said to be building up their forces, including voluntary fighters, for a major clash in which Khartoum hopes to retake Heglig, which the southerners call Panthou.
There is an Israeli involvement in the conflict. Israel has been supplying weapons to the southerners since the start of their uprising, as admitted by Joseph Lagu, former leader of the rebel forces. Tel Aviv maintains close relations with South Sudan. Kiir paid a visit to Israel last year to cement the relationship.
An all-out war will be disastrous to both sides. Their oil-dependent economies cannot withstand a conflict. The Juba government had earlier shut off the oil wells that financed both governments. A few more weeks of closure of the northern pipeline, will wreck the south's only oil export route beyond salvation.
The currencies of both sides have all but collapsed. The two stand to suffer from hyperinflation and massive food deficits if they spend any large amount on war. The peoples of Sudan, both north and south, suffered enough but could face a worse situation.
Nobody seems to know how to go about finding a peaceful solution to the conflict.

We know Someone who can bring true peace and healing of this worsening conflict. Please pray for the powers of division and darkness to be bound and overthrown so that the two next door neighbor nations can be reconciled and get along with each other.

reports the follow:
Ethnic Tuareg rebels have seized control of three main provinces in northern Mali. The National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad (NMLA), which led the rebellion, claims to be secular. However, they have been aided by jihadists fighting specifically for an Islamic state in which Sharia (Islamic law) is enforced.
Once the NMLA achieved its goal, its ally, a jihadist faction known as Ansar Dine, seized control, hoisted the black flag of al-Qaeda, and announced the imposition of Sharia. Sources say there are now four flags flying in Gao province--those of the NMLA, Boko Haram, Ansar Dine, and al-Qaeda.
The rebellion has resulted in widespread violence. Rapes have been reported and massive destruction and looting have crippled the humanitarian aid sector. In addition, Christian charities and churches have been destroyed. Virtually the entire Christian population of northern Mali has been forced to flee.

PRAY:
• Please pray for the comfort, provision and protection of Mali Christians who have been victimized and displaced.
• Pray that God will thwart the plans of the wicked and prevent Mali from becoming a sanctuary for Islamic extremists.
• Pray for revival and that many in Mali will turn to the Lord
