Let the “New Wave” of His Glory Fill the Earth!
Your heart will be stirred to see the new World Prayer Assembly video which is called "The New Wave is Coming!" It was filmed and produced by the award-winning Media Village. Here is a direct link to the 7 minute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnEL_NAiSR0&feature=youtube
Please have a look and share the link with others you think would be interested in seeing it. Many are seeing a spiritual tsunami rising up through the global prayer movement. As we meet from around the world in Jakarta this May, the waves from many nations will converge and this great tsunami of His Spirit will cascade outward from the prayer revival now happening in Indonesia to the rest of the world. This is the theme of the new video. Please pray with us for those He is calling to join us at the WPA and for every nation to be represented in Jakarta.
“But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word?”-Jeremiah 23:18
Some snapshots of the global prayer movement as reported by our leadership during a recent conference call:
24/7 Prayer Movement- Amazing stories of growth. Website hits have increased about 30%. Since the beginning of the year, there was a 40% increase in prayer response. Missional communities are growing everywhere and new movements are starting. In South Africa, taxi drivers at war with one another came together with the church leaders at a stadium, and there was reconciliation. Out of that spread a number of prayer initiatives. - Etienne
One great need for prayer across Central Asia concerns increased persecution. It is a new season in the region and prayer is needed on how to move forward for the Great Harvest that He has promised. – Eunice
The Latin America Prayer Summit concluded with 31 people representing 12 nations (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, El Salvador, Mexico, Uruguay, Dominican Republic, and for the first time a good representation from Venezuela.) The meeting was in Curitiba, Brazil, March 2-5. Powerful days. A highlight was the participation of the youth with the anointing they brought to the meetings. They will participate together as nations in a continental prayer agenda, lifting up an altar of praise, worship, and intercession to the Lord. - Yanira
China, Hong Kong and Taiwan- Intercessors on the prayer wall have been working well, and multiple prayer walls were established for the past year. About 600 people are going to the World Prayer Assembly and will be one of the most strategic groups there. – Gloria
Europe- national initiatives have multiplied and often there are reports of other convocations and prayer meetings. Croatia—3 years ago started to fulfil their call. Denmark has a prayer initiative. Prague in the Czech Republic had a prayer gathering recently. - Ioan
USA- Presidential and other governmental elections in November that generates a significant amount of prayer- a momentum of deep, profound prayer for the USA and how it influences the world. Re-launching of Pray magazine now called Prayer Connect (name influenced by IPC and acknowledged). New initiative called the “One Cry” movement which calls forth 50,000 prayer warriors in a common revival vision and to equip them to become ongoing and informed intercessors. – Steve
United Kingdom- Major events happening: Diamond Jubilee of her Majesty, the Queen, and Olympics (July/August, 2012) and the Para Olympics. A couple months ago, Christian prayer was banned in all council chambers, government chambers, and other public places. A footballer collapsed at a match. A call spread across the nation to pray for him including one of the most secular newspapers that wrote “God is in Control” when hearing the man was getting better. Organizing ahead of the Olympic torch, praying ahead and behind the torch “Jesus, the Light of the world”. – Ian
Sri Lanka- Every region has monthly prayer movement with pastors/elders (inter-denominational). Within our own denomination, 5,000 involved in intercessory prayer. Despite bleak situations in the country, God is moving by His Spirit through spiritual warfare, intercession, prayer, unity. - Leslie
Operation World prayer guide being abridged from 1,000 to less than 300 pages and rewritten in more accessible English for non-native English speakers. To be translated into many languages—more than the original larger book’s translations. Project will be done in autumn 2012. - Jason
Caribbean- Another regional prayer summit being planned. In Jamaica, they are in high gear for 50 years of independence. They are declaring jubilee over the nation and to seek to bring the nation into repentance and transformation. - Maria
The World Prayer Assembly has required 8 trips to Indonesia, Korea, and surrounding nations. Hectic and very demanding but also joyful and thrilling to see what the Lord is doing through the WPA. Denominations across the nation are united to participate, God has given favour with political leadership, and millions in more than 350 cities will pray with the Assembly in a live broadcast on May 17 that will also be connected
around the world by GodTV. The Indonesians have developed the “My Home” Project where believers adopt their own streets for prayer and reach out in loving service to their neighbours. Millions of Christians will be involved in this. - John
The World Prayer Assembly Intercession Task Force has received a word from the Lord in different groups but the same vision: a big book is opened, and a "new page" is showing a new season, a new day in which the Holy Spirit is orchestrating a worldwide prayer strategy that will surpass any other prayer movement during the Church’s history. In the WPA 2012, the Holy Spirit will equip the Body of Christ to participate with Jesus in His intercessory ministry. The result will be a great harvest of souls that will be added to the Kingdom of Heaven. IPC is a tool that God is using to align His people to his prophetic agenda. Not only a new wave, but a fresh anointing in prayer and intercession will be release all over the earth. – Yanira
I resonate with Yanira's word that this is a new page of a the Chronicle as the Lord also put the scripture of Revelation in my heart about the opening of the Scroll for the WPA:
"When he had taken the scroll; the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. They sing a new song: 'You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slaughtered and by your blood your ransomed for God saints from every tribe and language and people and nation; you have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our God, and they will reign on earth." (Rev 5:8-10).
We will enter into a new season for the nations to see the opening of the Scroll! This is about new understandings of the end-time redeemed purposes and unique destinies of different nations in His kingdom before the creation when different tribes and languages gather before His throne and worship Him with new song and intercession during the WPA. Corporate listening during that time is thus very important!
And as the WPA is going to open on May 14, the Lord also impress me with the same number of scripture in 1 Peter 5:14: "And this is the boldness we have in Him that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him." Corporate intercession in unity during the WPA is therefore history changing! - Gloria

"They shall be turned back and be utterly put to shame, who trust in idols, who say to their molten images, you are gods." Isaiah 42:17
"To whom can I give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they can not hear. The Word of the LORD is offensive to them. They dress the wound of My people as though it were not serious. Peace, peace, they say when there is no peace." Jeremiah 6:14
"O YHWH, the nations have invaded Your inheritance...
The Tibetan sand mandalas being built as offerings to their gods are of particular concern because of their desire to empower connections between the Media and politics through the invocation of powerful demonic entities and territorial possession. We have watched the emergence of Tibetan Buddhism in America over the last twenty-five years and are gravely concerned over the proliferation of Tibetan teams building mandalas coinciding with the 2012 Presidential Election. We have never seen so many made in such a short time, which is a cause for alarm as where ever we've seen them built, disaster is soon to follow. We pray that the harvest will not be spoiled, but that we may still see many souls saved. We pray that the intrigues of the LORD's enemies be their downfall.
A prophecy given by a Kenyan years ago, predicted civil war would soon come to our land. As a Christian he cautioned us not to be involved in bloodshed against our neighbors. We are in fact to pray for and love our enemies as ourselves, a high and holy command from Yeshua, one that is only possible through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. We are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
As Christians we know that we battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in heavenly places. That our weapons are NOT carnal, but spiritual for the pulling down of strongholds. You know the rising dangers of modern sophisticated witchcraft and well organized funded Tibetan Buddhist machinery which is introducing idolatry into America at an unprecedented scale never before witnessed. We have many Tibetan Christian friends who have been persecuted for being followers of Jesus. We long for many more Tibetans to know Yeshua. This demands fervent prayer AND repentance for much of the church has opened the door to the darkness of Tibetan Buddhism embracing it as a cultural and spiritual experience. One cannot take burning coals next to one's chest and not be burnt. Idolatry is expressly forbidden in the Word. Pray for more teaching in the Church against idolatry.
Jeremiah said, "And though the LORD has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid attention. They said, "Turn now, each of you from your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the LORD gave to you and your fathers forever and ever. Do not follow after other gods to serve and worship them; do not provoke Me to anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you. But you did not listen to Me with what your hands have made and you have brought harm to yourselves." Jeremiah 24:4-7.
1. Pray for repentance for the lack of discernment in the Church, magistrates, and public about the dangers of modern sophisticated idolatry.
2. Pray for the opening of the eyes of those blinded by the enemies of YHWH. Pray against the spread of Buddhism, Islam, secularism and idolatry.
3. Pray for our president that he would be convicted of his sin and come to repentance. Pray for him and his wife and family’s safety, total health.
4. Pray for all those who have won election to public office to be men and women of integrity seeking to serve the people with noble motives.
5. Pray that the people of the US would return to God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength. Pray for the spirit of intercession to fall upon the land.
Gradually the attitude of Mexicans about their nation’s security is brightening. There has been a “sharp reduction of bloodshed” along the border area and in the country at large according to a news report. The October murder rate in the city of Juarez which used to be known as “the murder capital of the world” was the lowest in five years. Grupo Reform, a newspaper consortium, said that the cartel-related murders have dropped 18% from last year in the nation at 8326 as of October 26. (Albuquerque Journal, Nov. 4, 2012)
God is answering our prayers! Under President Calderon, authorities have been successful is the nation’s struggle against the drug cartels, but there is still more to do. Let’s continue to pray for Mexico and the eradication of the drug cartels and their crime, whether the trafficking of drugs, weapons or human beings used in the sex trade. Pray that the new president and his administration will keep from corruption and accommodation with the cartels and continue this good fight.
Mexico’s Drug War: When Evil Tries to Look Good
The death of the Zeta's cartel leader Heriberto Lazcano marks another in a series of takedowns of Mexico's most wanted capos, otherwise known as the "kingpin strategy". This strategy implies that once the leader or kingpin of the cartel is taken arrested or killed, the cartel will crumble. However, this has not proven to be the case.
Of the 37 capos identified in 2009 as Mexico's most wanted men, 25 have now been captured or killed. Undoubtedly Lozcano was the biggest catch of them all, and of the Mexican criminals whose notoriety is comparable to Lazcano's, only four remain at large: Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, Servando " La Tuta" Gomez, Juan Jose " El Azul" Esparragoza, and Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
While this is a tremendous triumph for Mexico, the violence and cartel influence continues to be strong. Even when the arrest of a capo does lead to a group's disintegration, this does not mean that its members decide to adopt law-abiding lifestyles. Many times they splinter into smaller organizations, all vying for power…
Is there hope that the grip of the cartels will be loosened and trafficking, drugs and violence will cease? God reminds us, the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land (Psalm 37:9).
PRAY:
• We praise you, Mighty God, that the cartels have been shaken. We thank you that so many kingpins have been captured; we thank you for hearing our cries for the people of Mexico.
• We ask you to continue to break the foundation of the cartels so that there will be a complete crumbling of their organizational structure. We call for the four main leaders to be captured and held accountable for their evil deeds.
• We implore of you, God of Hope, to bring light and encouragement to the people of Mexico. May they see your hand at work and stand firm in the knowledge that you have a plan for their future of good and prosperity. (Jer. 29:11).
There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. - Proverbs 23:18
The aim of the Conference is to bring together the people of God, the holy priesthood, intercessors, worshipers - the five ministries - which led by the Holy Spirit, the release Brado Lion of Judah in the Church and in the areas of influence of society, the word prophetic for every season we pursue the revolutionary revival of the kingdom of God in Brazil and nations.
Our vision is to inspire and enable prophetically seeds of life, from strategic places in this generation and the next, redeeming the land and releasing the skies amid a revival revolution watered by worship, prophetic intercession in compassion for the great harvest.

An Answer to Prayer: President dedicates his nation to God!
Great leaders are prime targets for Prayer. Sometimes they are enemies of Christianity but most of the time they just need the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Like Saul of Tarsus, it is possible for anyone to become a great spokesperson for Christ. However without prayer, it will remain only a possibility. Such has been the case with President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of Uganda.
Museveni was involved in the war that deposed Idi Amin Dada, ending his rule in 1979, and in the rebellion that subsequently led to the demise of the Milton Obote regime in 1985. With the notable exception of northern areas, Museveni has brought relative stability and economic growth to a country that has endured decades of government mismanagement, rebel activity and civil war. His tenure has also witnessed one of the most effective national responses to HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Behind the scenes many have been praying for him – especially his wife, a devout and dedicated believer, his children, fellow Ugandans as well as many others around the world.
And, as we all know, PRAYER WORKS!
Recently a “Jubilee Prayer Night” was organized by Uganda Jubilee Network, an association of Anglican, evangelical and Pentecostal churches. The network, coordinated by Dr. James Magara of Intercessors for Uganda, has been guiding Christians to fast and pray for Uganda to be a God fearing nation in the next 50 years.
In a Historic moment President Museveni repented for his sins and the sins of Uganda as a nation. He dedicated Uganda to God to be His nation anchored on His principles and values.
The President, indicating that the next 50 years belong to the young generation, advised the young people to be God-fearing referring to the Biblical verse in Proverbs 9:10 which says, “The fear of God is beginning of wisdom.”
President Museveni’s Prayer:
Father God in heaven,
Today we stand here as Ugandans, to thank you for Uganda. We are proud that we are Ugandans and Africans. We thank you for all your goodness to us.
I stand here today to close the evil spiritual past and especially in the last 50 years of our national leadership history and at the threshold of a new dispensation in the life of this nation.
I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of our past leaders to repent.
We ask for your forgiveness for our own sins, and those of our past leaders:
We confess these sins which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation:
Sins of idolatry and witchcraft, so rampart in our land
Sins of shedding innocent blood
Sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and betrayal
Sins of pride, tribalism and sectarianism
Sins of laziness, indifference and irresponsibility
Sins of corruption & bribery that have eroded our national resources
Sins of sexual immorality, drunkenness & debauchery
Sins of un-forgiveness, bitterness, hatred and revenge
Sins of injustice, oppression and exploitation
Sins of rebellion, in-subordination, strife and conflict
These and many others have characterized our past leadership, especially the last 50 years of our history. Lord forgive us, and give us a new beginning. Give us a heart to love you, to fear you and to seek you. Remove far from us all the above sins.
We pray for National unity. Unite us as Ugandans and eliminate all forms of conflict, sectarianism and tribalism. Help us to see that we are all your children. Children of the same Father, help us to love and respect one another and to appreciate unity in diversity.
We pray for prosperity and transformation. Deliver us from ignorance, poverty and disease. As leaders give us wisdom to help lead our people into political, social and economic transformation.
We want to dedicate this nation to you so that you will be our God and guide. We want Uganda to be known as a Nation that fears God. A nation, whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice. Blessed is the nation, whose God is the Lord. A people you have chosen as your own. Psalms 33:12
I renounce all the evil Foundations and Covenants that were laid in Idolatry & Witchcraft. I renounce all the satanic influence on this nation.
And, hereby covenant Uganda to you, to walk in your ways and experience all your blessing forever. In the Name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
Whenever we pray for people, we can envision the changes that would happen if their energies were redirected toward Christ. NO-ONE is beyond God’s reach, and prayer keeps them within His grasp.
