In this critical hour in our nation’s history, now, more than ever, we are being called to stand in the gap for America through the NIGHTWATCH. Our nation is being methodically pushed to abort her God‐Given assignments of: being a beacon of freedom, being a hope for struggling nations, being a publisher of the Gospel, and being a true friend and supporter of Israel.

Moreover, the forces of evil are most active in the night, when most saints are sleeping and when the enemy can “gain ground” in the spirit before the break of day. By “holding heaven open” through the NIGHTWATCH, we cast down the enemy’s forces and render his works null and void, AND we cry out for the deliverance of those who have been ensnared by wickedness, setting captives free through the precious Shed Blood of our Savior.

There are countless times in Scripture where the battle has been won OVERNIGHT.
For example:
Recall Esther, whose uncle Mordecai went to bed one night, thinking he would be hung the next morning on the gallows Haman was constructing. But, OVERNIGHT, something changed. The gallows meant for Mordecai were used instead to hang the wicked Haman. Recall Jacob, who travailed THROUGH THE NIGHT with an angel, until he received the blessing of our Father. Recall Moses, who led the Israelites OVERNIGHT, through the Red Sea, to safety.

Let’s take the battle, where the battle needs to be taken: at the highest gates of authority in our nation, and at the exact time the battle must be waged. Praise God for His Victory!! Has He not, indeed, designed the strategy of the NIGHTWATCH, “for such a time as this?”

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)

God is using the emerging generation to advance his kingdom around the world. He is calling his Church to embrace a new understanding of the role of children. He wants us to see children with new eyes, with His eyes. The 4 to 14 Window Movement is one of the global responses to this call.

On May 7 to 10, 2013, a North American Summit for the 4 to 14 Window will take place in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Eleven different Tracks will focus on areas like Children in Prayer, Education, Family and Home, Children’s Ministry in the local Church, Media, Mission Structures and the role of Senior Pastors.

A major goal for the Summit is to see the 4 to 14 Window Movement become a catalyst and resource for local churches and communities across North America.

In 1973 Roe v. Wade stunned the American Church and in many ways, took her by surprise. For 40 years now we have been battling to remove this plague of Abortion from our land. What we wouldn’t all give to be able to wind back the clock and have a do-over! It’s way easier to stop a strong man before he gets into your house, than to take the house back after he’s made it his stronghold.

We know God hears prayer, holds the hearts of kings in his hands, and honors our supplications as much as Elijah's! If it were December 13, 1971 again and the Oral Argument of Roe vs. Wade were being held at the Supreme Court, to what length would we go to mobilize prayer for those nine Justices? Considering the cost of 55 million lives since,  I'm sure we all would bring everything to a grinding halt to pray for the nine “Supremes”.

My friends, the Roe v. Wade of our generation has come upon us. March 26 & 27, the Supreme Court will hear cases Hollingsworth v. Perry and United States v. Windsor. Both cases are really Sexual Immorality v. Sanctity of Marriage. Will the Supreme Court of the United States call sexual immorality equal to holy matrimony? This is a spiritual war, and you had better believe we can win it, or we’ve already lost!  40 years later, we have an opportunity to show God that we are different now. 
 
God has spoken and confirmed to our intercession community in DC to mobilize the mobilizers to prayer for the Supreme Court and the sanctity of marriage. God has through a couple of dreams confirmed these things:

Five days of prayer and fasting Feb 18 - 22. Please fast and pray with us.

1. Pray for all the Supreme Court Justices, but specifically for Justice Kennedy. We know that Justice Kennedy will likely be the swing vote on this case.

2. Let’s pray that God would slam the door shut to the spirit of sexual immorality in America and deliver a generation from sexual confusion. 
 
I believe God has given us an opportunity to turn back the clock. If we rise up in prayer, and in faith, I believe God will reverse Roe, too, as we show him that we are a different church 40 years later.

SAN DIEGO, California, January 22/Christian Newswire/--In partnership with the 4/14 Window Movement and the worldwide Body of Christ, Children’s Ministries International, Inc. announced, in a statement released this morning, that the 2nd annual Global 4/14/ Day is set for Sunday, April 14, 2013.

“Global 4/14 Day has become an annual day of prayer,” said Steve Karges, coordinator of the event. “The focus of our prayers on April 14 will be for children in the 4/14 Window,” Karges continues, “and we invite Christians worldwide to join the movement and pray.” “ONE MILLION Christians praying for TWO BILLION children will have a resounding impact on our world,” Karges said. “We are making this announcement today,” Karges continues, “to give individuals, churches and ministries around the globe, enough time to plan and organize local prayer events.” The Global 4/14 Day website, www.global414day.com, has been updated and is available in 14 languages. Additional translations of the website will be added in the future in order to reach and invite more people to pray. “The 4/14 Window refers to all children between the ages of 4 and 14,” Karges concludes. “During this decade or ‘window’, most children in this demographic develop their moral and spiritual foundations.” For a free Prayer Guide and to learn more about Global 4/14 Day, visit www.global414day.com.

For now is the time for the harvest of the earth. It is time for the every tongue and tribe on this terrestrial sphere who will ascribe glory to my Name, says the Lord.

This morning I saw a vision of a great worship service before the throne of God. People's were standing and worshipping together to represent their nation before the throne.

However, the sound of worship was very small from certain of the regions. A few, mainly martyrs were faithfully standing before the throne of God, crying out to the Lord, "How long, O Lord, before you avenge our blood?"

Their cries reached the throne of God and He whoever lives to make intercession turned to the hosts of heaven. The great Captain of the Lord of hosts commanded them with His voice with the sound of many waters.

"I MUST ANSWER THEIR CRIES!” Go find those who will avenge the blood of the martyrs and harvest their nations.

At this, I could begin to hear the groaning of the earth for the manifestation of the sons of God to see the harvest.

It was if the intercessors became living stones who were becoming part of a building. I was curious what it would become.  Then I knew, they were rebuilding the tabernacle of David. It was the manifestation of Acts 15:16. The living stones were singing! They were worshipping!

The Holy Spirit began to convict the intercessors of the need to fill the void where there was no sound. One by one they took up the song of the nations.

Heaven joined in for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven until there was no place in the earth where intercessory worship was not taking place.

The intercession ripened the earth. And then the LORD OF THE HARVEST released the anointing for evangelism into the earth. Revivalists and a new generation of burning ones for God were thrust the harvest.

Thousands of new missionaries went out across the most unreached parts of the earth. Whole sectors of society were reformed and transformed. A new justice cry went out as righteousness and justice were married in the earth.

Then God arose and shook the nations. The King wanted the nations for His inheritance.

This resulted in prayer houses and towers being placed in every part of society. The great harvest of the earth has begin! Every tongue, every tribe, every kindred will bow before the throne of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
