Numbers 10:3   “When they (the silver trumpets) are sounded, the entire community

                 is to assemble before You at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”

On November 20^th, Silver Trumpets were blown to call the Body of Christ in the United States of America to a HOLY CONVOCATION to Welcome the King of Glory into our Nation January 17th -20th, 2017. Two months later, on January 20th, which is the Second Day for the Battle, we will corporately proclaim the Lord Jesus as King and declare the Victory of His Love over our entire nation. The Second Day of the Battle will be a “DAY OF VICTORY”…a Day of Worship and Joy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before the November 8th National Elections, the Day of the Battle, the “GLORIOUS DAY”, many of us entered corporately into an ESTHER FAST, beginning on the Sabbath, Friday, November 4th at 7 PM and fasting until Monday, November 7th at 7 PM. As we prepared to begin our ESTHER FAST at sundown, three directives were received from the Lord; each had a specific name and action:

Day One     -     Let the Light of the Godhead Shine

Day Two     -     Let the Living Water Flow

Day Three   -   Let the Love of God Embrace all Creation and Bring Salvation

Now, we are being summoned for a HOLY CONVOCATION to Welcome the King of Glory into our Nation.

To prepare for the Second Day for the Battle, Inauguration Day, January 20th, 2017, we will enter into another ESTHER FAST, from January 16th at 7 PM until January 19th at 7 PM. Again, three directives have been received for this initiative:

Day One     -   January 17th - Justice of God / The Faith of Christ

         Proclaim Lord Jesus as the Supreme Judge over the entire nation.                  

• Location for prayer, intercession, proclamation and Communion – The Supreme Court.

Day Two     -   January 18th - Law of God / The Hope of Christ

         Proclaim Lord Jesus as the Giver and Protector of Godly Law to the nation.

• Location for prayer, intercession, proclamation and Communion – The Capitol.

Day Three   -   January 19th - Governance of God / The Love of Christ

         Proclaim Lord Jesus as the Lord of USA.                                                                

• Location for prayer, intercession, proclamation and Communion – The White House.

On January 20th, 2017, we, as representatives of the ekklesia, will sign a Covenant of Marriage with the Lord Jesus…The Judge, The Law Giver, The King of kings and our Beloved Bridegroom. Brothers and sisters from the nations will serve as our witnesses. On that, the Second Day for the Battle, we will proclaim the Lord Jesus as Victor, declare the Victory of His Love over our entire nation and welcome His Governance over the United States of America.

• Location: David's Tent, by the Washington Monument, 130 17th St NW, Washington, DC 20006.

The Second Day of the Battle will indeed be a “DAY OF VICTORY”…

and a Day of Worship and Unbridled Joy. Amen! Alleluia!

1) God Save America - Miracle Headline in One of Australia’s Biggest Newspapers

The Daily Telegraph is Australia’s second largest daily newspaper, comparable to the New York Times, ran a headline before the US election result was announced, which said; God Save America. This anti-God secular newspaper had no idea that this was exactly the prayer of both Australian and American Christians who have been praying in unity in the lead up to the American Election. Australian Christians called for prayer from all over the world for the American elections at a ‘Sunrise Prayer Relay’ on Tuesday 8 November 2016. Australia is 18 hours ahead of the USA.

Warwick Marsh from the National Day of Prayer and Fasting in Australia said, “We congratulate Donald Trump on his win but America does not need Clinton or Trump. America needs God. That is why we are so excited about the headline ‘God Save America’ because that is still our prayer. We are praying for Revival and Transformation in America and a release of the Gospel in the USA. America needs Jesus.”

Pat Steele from the Sunrise Prayer Relay in Australia said; “I believe America is at the beginning of a great awakening. The verse I have for America is Isaiah 43:19, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” I feel that this election result will be the shock that people need to shake the dust off their eyes to know they need saving and reviving. It is only God who can lead them out of the wilderness and wash away the wasteland with His stream.”

Steele continued. “That is why Warwick and I are pretty excited about the headline of the paper today, "God save America". Yes, we might be reading this out of the context of the article, but it reminds me of Balaam in Numbers 23 who was paid by the Moabites to curse Israel but when he opened his mouth to speak he prophesied blessing over them and hope for the future instead. Our God is the God who saves, He is a miracle working God and He is alive, God save America, Amen!!!”

Thanks to our dear friends, the Aussies, for standing with us in prayer for the USA’s national election and let’s agree and pray that this word about revival which many others have also prophesied will indeed begin to happen!

Here is another prophetic word about radical change coming to America:

2) "The Uprising is Coming!"
by Chuck D. Pierce, Corinth, TX

Highlights from Chuck Pierce's prophetic video "The Uprising is Coming!" released on November 7, 2016:

• "This election is not about a person – it's about a structure just as if you were an old wineskin – where one day too long that wineskin routinizes around you and it's like cement and you can't get out of it.
•  "This election is not about a person – it's about breaking out of a structure. If we stay in the structure we're in one more season, it will be so routinized and so ordered around us that we cannot as a nation come out of it.
• "Decree and vote for what will break you out of an old structure!
•  "I say there is a new anointing rising in my people, and from the new anointing you will rise up and see the opportunities that I have for you. For right now opportunities seem blocked, but I say to you there is an uprising coming! There is an uprising coming! There is an uprising coming! It has been brewing underneath, but now you will see the uprising," sayeth the Lord!
• The Lord just said, "If you knew how close you were to the revolution of change that is coming, you would not be able to keep your mouth shut one moment!"
• The Lord said, "Do not hold your peace from this day forward – for the next five months you will hear, 'Peace! Peace!' but there is no peace. 
•  The Lord says, "The sword of Heaven is coming to liberate the ground and My people must have the sound that liberates the ground."
•  I say to you I will come from the Islands and I will blow a wind. I will come from both sides of this land with a wind that will cause what couldn't stand to fall. I say to you the winds are now circling from Heaven and will now surround the lands of the earth. I say to you welcome the winds in for the change and the revolution of change is now at hand!

3) An admonition from a Romanian prayer leader:

A Word from the Lord

January 20 – The Second day for the Battle

November 8th was the Glorious Day, a Miracle from God. The People of God received the right to fight for their lives, families, communities, towns and cities and nations all over the world and especially in USA (the leading nation of nations, or Capital Susa following the parable of the book of Esther.

The adversary is regrouping, buy time with nice and politically correct discourses, but is preparing to fight back.

Friday, January 20, 2017, the Inauguration Day is the Second Day for the Battle. The Second Day for the Battle is to secure the victory of Nov 8 for the People of God in USA.

Friday January 20, 2017 is the Day for Battle. Prepare, be Ready, Unite and Fight for the future of you, your children and grandchildren, for the future of this great nation ad the entire world. The adversary has not legal right to return and harm again this nation.

I pray this message will receive the confirmation of the Body of Christ in USA. May you as the spiritual leaders adapt, share and act accordingly?

4) A thoughtful perspective on the situation after the American election

The Day After Election Day

by John Stonestreet

For most Americans, the results of Tuesday’s presidential elections came as a shock, even a surprise, and for many, a bit of a relief. That feeling of relief is understandable. While there’s no way to be sure what will happen over the next four years, Christians may very well have gained a reprieve in areas such as religious freedom and attempts to impose the new sexual orthodoxy and gender ideology on our schools.

So relief? Yes. But I’d caution against elation, because what happened on Tuesday was more of a reprieve than a vindication. A close read of Tuesday’s results, beyond the presidential race, shows that the cultural trends we’ve been talking about on BreakPoint for years continue unimpeded. The saddest example is Colorado voters’ approval of doctor-assisted suicide by a two-to-one margin. I warned on this broadcast that so-called “right to die” invariably becomes a duty to die. I reminded my fellow Coloradans that in a state currently in the midst of an epidemic of teen suicide, approving doctor-assisted suicide sends the wrong message.

But it didn’t matter. The siren song of unlimited personal autonomy and self-definition proved irresistible to a large majority of Coloradans.

And a similar dynamic was at work in the various ballot initiatives concerning marijuana. Voters in California, Massachusetts, and Nevada joined Colorado and Washington in legalizing marijuana outright. As of this writing, the result in Maine is too close to call, although supporters of legalization have already declared victory.

Meanwhile, voters in Florida, Arkansas and North Dakota approved so-called “medical marijuana” use. I say “so-called” because if history is any indication, these laws amount to legalization by just another name.

Only Arizona, thanks largely to the efforts of the Council for Arizona Policy, bucked the trend for legalized weed. So, all in all this was a bad night for the idea that human good involves something other than unlimited personal freedom and pleasure.

And no matter how much relief we feel over the defeat of what would certainly have been a radically pro-choice, anti-religious freedom Clinton administration, the serious moral concerns about the man who was just elected president remain, as do the serious moral concerns about the nation that elected him, and those evangelical leaders who went on record saying that character no longer matters in a leader.

So where does all this leave us today? How will we use this reprieve? Well first of all, we should, as the Bible instructs us, pray for those in authority. We should also pray for President-Elect Trump to surround himself with wise and godly counselors, and to act justly, wisely, and rightly.

Beyond that we should support any of his policies that promote the common good. We should urge him to protect the unborn, as well as those who believe in traditional marriage, and to safeguard religious freedom.

But what we can’t do is fall prey to the political illusion. As Chuck Colson liked to say, the Kingdom of God never arrives on Air Force One. Too often Christians lose sight of this basic truth and have allowed themselves to become court preachers instead of prophets.

But prophets we must be. The church’s duty is to speak truth to power, especially when the power doesn’t want to hear it. If Jesus is Lord, no one else is. Now today on BreakPoint.org, we’ve created a symposium on the Church and the election…to answer the question: “What has the 2016 election revealed about the state of the Church and its place in American culture, and how ought we (the American Church) move forward from here?" You’ll want to read what our contributors have to say. Again, visit BreakPoint.org to check out our symposium, “The Election and the Church.”

(from a Christian worker friend living in Kabul) 

“Every city is different, Paris, New York, Berlin, etc, almost like the powers and principalities over it control it, and they must fall. Daniel talks about the Prince of Persia. 

Anyway here is a short history of Kabul.  For those who take the time to read it, it is interesting, and shows a lot of death, etc. Interestingly legends say Cain is the founder of the city, and is buried here.”

History

Legendarily founded by Cain and Abel, Kabul is an ancient city, repeatedly fought over by all the region’s great empires and religions. Known in antiquity as Kabura, it was an Achaemenid outpost 2500 years ago, later renamed Parapamisidae by the Bactrian Greeks who built a city here. In the centuries that followed, Kabul became a Buddhist city during the Kushan era, Hindu (interesting this Hindu temple is still active here, and the goddess they worship is Asmai and Kali, goddess of death) under the Indians and finally Muslims with the Arab expansion from the east. Kabul’s first Afghan rulers were the Ghorids in the 12th century. 

The whirlwind of destruction wreaked by Genghis Khan had largely blown itself out by the time he reached Kabul, and the city escaped the worst of the Mongol destruction. Kabul prospered under Timur in the 14th century, who even married the sister of one of Kabul’s rulers, and used the city as the base for his conquest of India. In 1504 Kabul was captured by Babur, founder of the Mughal empire. Babur loved Kabul, and had rhapsodised about its many delights. Even as his ambition drove him eastward to India he dreamed of the city, writing, ‘I have a longing beyond expression to return to Kabul. How can its delights ever be erased from my heart?’. His body was returned to Kabul for burial. 

Kabul was never a secure throne. When Dost Mohammed became Emir in the 1820s, he found himself squeezed not just by Afghan rivals, but by the British and Russian empires. Initially courted by both powers, the British eventually sent an army of occupation to Kabul in 1839, putting their own puppet on the throne. It was an early round of the Great Game that ended in disaster for the British – their resident hacked to pieces by a mob, and the Kabul garrison massacred as it tried to retreat from the city. The British sent an army of retribution to Kabul in 1842 and dynamited the medieval covered bazaar, but also allowed Dost Mohammed to slip back in to the country and quietly regain his throne. 

Incredibly, the British failed to learn their lesson, and were back again in 1878 trying to impose their rule. There was another massacre of British residents and another punitive army sent to Kabul (this time it was the Bala Hissar to be destroyed). At the end of the war, Amir Abdur Rahman Khan was left master of his kingdom. 

At the start of the 20th century Kabul was the focus of an ambitious modernising program under King Amanullah. Kabul boomed for the next 40 years. The USA and Soviet Union competed to provide vast amounts of aid, which helped pay for the paving of the city and the opening of Kabul University. The capital became a cosmopolitan place, and welcomed tourists from around the world. 

Things started to change following the Soviet occupation in 1979. On the surface Kabul continued to prosper. Women made up nearly 40% of all governmental jobs, and the city’s shops were well stocked. The population largely sat out the war that raged across the country, although resistance groups increasingly infiltrated Kabul’s tight defences to carry out guerrilla attacks and bombings. 

If a smooth change of power was expected following the withdrawal of the Red Army in 1989, events quickly proved otherwise. The victorious mujaheddin entered the capital in April 1992 and straight away fell into a murderous battle for control of the city. 

Ahmad Shah Massoud’s Tajiks nominally controlled the presidency and most of Kabul, but they were immediately attacked by the forces of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whose preferred military tactic was the mass shelling of the city. Also jostling for power were General Dostum’s Uzbeks and the Hazara militias. At different times, all fought with or against each other.

 The west and south of the city were flattened under continuous bombardment, and countless atrocities were committed against civilians. Around 50, 000 Kabulis lost their lives between 1992 and 1996, and a flood of refugees left the city. The puritan Taliban might have been welcomed as a group that could return the rule of law. Their first action on capturing Kabul in September 1996 was the public lynching of the former communist president Najibullah. The illiterate Taliban held a strong distrust of Kabul and its educated Persian-speaking population, and ruled the city with a harsh fist. 

The Taliban’s Vice and Virtue Police quickly squeezed the life out of Kabul, beating women for wearing high heels under their burqas, and imprisoning men whose beards were too short. Under American bombardment, the Taliban fled Kabul in November 2001 and the Northern Alliance walked back in to power. Another army followed, this time of aid workers, contractors and returning refugees. Reconstruction continues, but it’s a slow and often very frustrating process. 

2014 September - The two rivals for the Afghan presidency, Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, signed a power-sharing agreement, following a two-month audit of disputed election results. Ashraf Ghani was sworn in as president. This is not working.

Please pray for the healing of Afghanistan from decades of war and division. Pray that these two sides of the government will work together in real unity and deference to one another for the good of the land. Pray that the Taliban and ISIS rebels will be thrown into confusion and disunity and have to give up their armed struggle which is continuing the pattern of destruction and death that has stalked Afghanistan for many centuries. Let’s believe God that the future history of this longsuffering land can be different through persevering prayers of faith from inside and outside of the nation!

From the 27^th to 30^th of October this year we had a remarkable gathering in Geneva of the European 24-7 Prayer family. There were over 470 people gathered from about 26 different nations and many tribes and tongues from God’s church were represented. Highlights of the conference included praying together in unity for a move of God across Europe, worshipping together in different European languages and hearing testimonies of how God is at work across our continent.

As well as a stream of seminars, we experienced rich and challenging teaching from the main stage throughout the weekend from Dr Johannes Hertl (leader of the house of prayer in Augsberg, Germany, a Catholic house of non stop prayer), Miriam Swaffield (mission co-ordinator for Fusion, a student work movement in the UK), Adam Cox (leader Navah Church Kansas City and one of the leaders of 24-7 Prayer USA) and Pete Greig (founder and leader of the 24-7 Prayer movement).

Our gathering culminated in an evening of worship in the historic Cathédrale St Pierre (Calvin’s cathedral). This was a very significant moment for us as we worshipped together on the eve of the reformation, across many different denominations and traditions in order to worship, pray and seek God in unity. In one voice we prayed together a commitment, which included this promise:

‘We will co-operate together for the cause of Jesus Christ, across the boundaries of language, gender, culture, denomination and race.

We declare the supremacy of Jesus, the King of Kings, above all political, cultural and economic systems of control.

If our leaders build walls, we will build bridges. If others preach hate we will preach love. If our nations wage war, we will fight for peace.

As citizens of heaven we pledge our allegiance to the One who is reconciling all things together for his glory: Jesus Christ, Our Lord.’

After the worship event in the cathedral, we hosted a party with our annual ‘Generosity Auction.’ This year we auctioned off slippers which people donated and had a lot of fun bidding outrageously generous amounts to give to kingdom causes. Altogether we raised £12000 in the auction, which, amongst other things, bought a BUV for a micro finance project in Tanzania, a beautiful meal for sex workers we are connecting with in Ibiza and support for our missionaries working with Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

We are incredibly grateful to God for his presence amongst us throughout our time in Geneva and for the many lives, which were shaped and transformed from this gathering. Thank you so much for your prayers, we were humbled to be supported in prayer by so many around the globe.
