Redeeming Our Land Gathering -The Canyon,The River,The Scroll, The Mountain
I see the Grand Canyon.. see the Colorado..see out of the River..come creatures of every kind, creatures that crawl,that creep, four footed beasts, fowls of air. "These are all symbols of which have robbed you and your people's inheritance.. lies and deceptive spirits..embedded in rituals and false beliefs ..these have carved themselves so deep.. and deeper by each passing generation.. in the smudges, the miry, muddy River..some embedded in the grandeur walls. Forever lost was The Truth, so it seemed, none to redeem ever.
Saying" this is where I belong, this is my dwelling place, my habitat, my home, I'm welcomed here". I awakened.
I once again see the Ancient Canyon, the Colorado, the River's running Blood Red, this time I see something stirring in the bloody River, suddenly an eagle rises out of the Red River, the Eagle ascends..piercing through the clouds, into the heights of heaven, no sooner then it disappears… he reappears swooping down with a scroll in its claws…sweeps over the River and releases the Scroll into the River's Canyon…with each passing flight with it's powerful wings he overshadows the Canyon.
I noticed...
The Canyon was filling up…'til it was filled, the Canyon disappears, the presence of the screeching cry silenced,the Eagle lands.
I looked again….The Eagle's gone..instead a man standing with an open Scroll in his hands.
My heart is saddened…Not that the Majestic Canyon was gone,but the River?
I see this time a Mountain begins to manifest (looked liked it was materializing as I was the beholder)where the man with the Scroll was.
A new spring begin to flow out of the Mountain, a new River…a new race appears out of that River, people thousands upon thousands… a new River with a new beginning...a new path…starting over.. a new course...new life it'll bring.. a renewed destiny...are fulfilled.
"The Scroll holds a record of a destiny of a Nation/s"
My heart was at peace..the warmth.. the assurance.. "All will be well from now on"
I stood there with my heart filled joy and confidence…"Nothing will ever go wrong again".
I knew I wasn't alone..there wasn't a time in my life that I recalled.. or recollect.. I was so thankful…my redemption had come full circle...I finally knew what it meant to be restored.. completely. "
Glory be to our Lord God forever! Amen.
(The Scroll holds the record...a testimony of Nations coming...into a New Kingdom)
Afterwards… that morning…with my body tingling with a sense of feeling..strong upon me .. a sense that whatever declaration we make…we would be the recipients!

Pray with our Native brothers and sisters for the First Nations to arise and play their part in God’s purposes for the deliverance of our nations. They have an indispensable role and special authority in prayer.
Through the grace and help of the Lord, we in the IPC are rejoicing at what an amazing and far-reaching impact united prayer efforts are having on the nations! I believe future history is being shaped by such prayer efforts. As one theologian put it, intercessors are the “shapers of the future”. Let's keep going and see God do "far more abundantly that all we can ask or imagine" through the diverse events, initiatives and networks He is raising up through His praying people worldwide. May He be glorified and may His Church and our world be deeply impacted in the months to come!
Please pray with us for these upcoming initiatives to be greatly used of the Lord to impact our world for Jesus Christ:
1) UPRISING, July 26-29, in South Korea and encourage any under-35 next generation leaders to take part along with older ministry leaders who would like to be there to support the younger generation and serve as mentors. About 500 are currently registered but we would like to have many more take part. Details can be found on www.unitedprayerrising.com There are also remaining financial costs that we could use your help in meeting.
2) Global Proclamation Congress, June 15-22 in Bangkok. About 2500 pastoral trainers attending from 102 nations in Bangkok so far. For more information www.gprocongress.org
3) Every 4 years, the 24-7 Prayer Movement has an international gathering. This year, it will be 21-30 October in Geneva with the theme: 'Awaken the Dawn'. This is the promotional video for the conference if you would like to share it with anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WbRXmvG_SQ&feature=share. This is where you can find info and buy tickets: http://www.24-7prayer.com/events/geneva16
In addition, the IPC leadership is praying about a possible gathering of international prayer leaders next year. It will have been 15 years since almost 300 prayer network leaders gathered in South Africa to launch the IPC. Since then many national, regional and global prayer initiatives have taken place. What is the Lord saying to us now in the international prayer movement? How can we work together for the future to maximize the impact on our world and for the fulfillment of His global purposes in and through the Body of Christ? We would appreciate your prayers for His guidance and clarity in our planning together and if you have any suggestions, please write to us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

“It applies only to certain offences and this comes under the jurisdiction of the Syariah court and is only applicable to the Muslims. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims.” If there is any truth to this at all, the laws regarding the subjugation of non-Muslims as dhimmis will not be imposed, but this will give an immense boost to Sharia hardliners who want to see those laws implemented in Malaysia as well as the hudud laws — that is, the laws mandating amputation and stoning, etc.
“Malaysia Backs Islamic Law,” Reuters, May 29, 2016:
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government threw its support in parliament last week behind an Islamic penal code that includes amputations and stoning, shocking some of his allies and stoking fears of further strains in the multi-ethnic country.
Critics believe the scandal-tainted prime minister is using “hudud,” the Islamic law, to shore up the backing of Muslim Malay voters and fend off attacks on his leadership ahead of critical by-elections next month and a general election in 2018.
The government on Thursday unexpectedly submitted to parliament a hudud bill that had been proposed by the Islamist group Parti Islam se-Malaysia’s (PAS).
Although debate on the law was deferred to October by PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang, its submission to parliament brought criticism from leaders across the political spectrum, including allies of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, who represent the ethnic Chinese and Indian communities.
Mr. Najib sought to ease tensions with his allies on Friday, saying the bill was “misunderstood.”
“It’s not hudud, but what we refer to as enhanced punishment,” he told a news conference after meeting leaders of his ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party.
“It applies only to certain offences and this comes under the jurisdiction of the Syariah court and is only applicable to the Muslims. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims.”…

Let’s pray for Malaysia and its government to be purged of its corruption and kept from going down the sharia road towards increasing Islamism and the bondage and oppression it brings on a free society.

“The Islamic State’s recent defeats on the battlefield signal that its once-vaunted militia army has been hobbled by worsening money problems, desertions and a dwindling pool of fighters, analysts and monitoring groups say….’These issues suggest that as an entity that is determined to hold onto territory, the Islamic State is not sustainable,’ said Jacob Shapiro, an expert on the Islamic State who teaches politics at Princeton University.” — Washington Post, February 6, 2016
The WaPo was by no means the first to pronounce the Islamic State in imminent danger of death. The Atlantic announced in January 2015: “ISIS Is Losing Its Greatest Weapon: Momentum: Evidence suggests that the Islamic State’s power has been declining for months.”
A CNN headline asked in November 2014: “Has ISIS peaked? Terror group suffers setbacks in Iraq.”
CNN followed a few weeks later with “For ISIS, tough times as it seeks to regroup.”
The New York Times announced on February 4, 2015, that “ISIS Is Losing in Iraq.”
On April 15, 2015, Vox issued its own report: “ISIS is losing.”
“Isil launches Syria assault, achieving biggest advance along Turkish border for two years,” by Louisa Loveluck, Telegraph, May 29, 2016:
Thousands of civilians fled an Isil offensive on Sunday as the terrorist movement achieved its most significant advance along the Turkish border for two years.
The three-pronged attack threatened to overrun the last swathe of territory in eastern Aleppo province held by non-jihadist rebels. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, said at least 6,000 people had sought safety in Kurdish-controlled territory to the west.
Others joined the burgeoning number of civilians camped along the Syrian side of Turkey’s now closed border. As many as 165,000 displaced people may now be scattered in fields and informal settlements along the frontier, as well as in the nearby town of Azaz.
Although Turkey says it has an open-door policy for Syrians fleeing war, the border remains closed to all but the most severely injured, and Turkish police have shot refugees trying to cross illegally.
In clearing rebel forces from Azaz and the nearby town of Marea, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) would strengthen its hold on a stretch of land along the Turkish border. Control of the area would allow the terrorists to threaten the Bab al-Salama border crossing, the strip of territory where thousands of civilians are now concentrated – and thousands more are expected to flee in the coming days.
Isil appears to be using its new territory to re-start its war against the Turkish state. After a two week lull, Isil launched fired more projectiles at Kilis, a Turkish border town where refugees and local residents now live in fear of the group’s rockets.
Marea has long been a bastion of relatively moderate rebel forces fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad. During almost six years of war, the town has survived regime tank and air assaults and the effects of Isil’s chemical weapons.
But the terrorists finally entered the town on Friday, surrounding its hospital for ten hours before being pushed back. “We are very scared inside this hospital. We know Isil is coming back,” said one member of the medical staff, asking for his name to be withheld. Hours later, Isil gunmen did return – and the fighting continued as night fell….”

Pray that the coalition forces would be given wisdom and resolve to overcome ISIS and put them to flight. Pray that they will be thrown into confusion, disunity and give up their jihadist ambitions and that their defeat will cause other radical Islamic groups to lose heart around the world. May many of these wrong-headed, deceived jihadists come to know Jesus Christ and turn 180 degrees around to become mighty missionaries for Him!

“On a dreary, cloud-covered day in Serbia the sorrow of the refugee crisis was personified in three women who stood together, telling their stories with tear-streaked faces and children who silently clung to their legs. The women wept from exhaustion, frustration, and a crushing fear as others looked on and walked past without a word. Why do we not weep in the face of such sorrow? How can we turn our backs on these stories? Sometimes the best way to love someone is to stand by and weep with them?
“When does this stop being a refugee issue and start becoming a human issue?” -A volunteer with CYCI (a group working to find and aid Yazidi Christian refugees)
“Jesus wept.” -John 11:35
PRAYER POINTS
Pray for empathy and action to well up in the church worldwide. Pray for those on the frontline caring for people -- that they would stay strong. Pray for our hearts to continue to be soft to Jesus and His heart for refugees.
A CHORUS OF VOICES The same words, phrases, and sentiments are being spoken throughout Europe’s refugee route in a chorus of voices. Will we listen? THE NEED: “We are in need. We want peace and a hope and a future.”-Syrian refugee THE URGENCY: “The time is now. God is sending all these people into Europe and the Church must respond.” -Macedonian pastor THE OPPORTUNITY: “We are shocked. Muslim people are asking us about Jesus and how to know Him. They are asking for Bibles and for prayer.” -Christian aid worker in Greece THE RESPONSE: “We need people to come, serve, listen and care and give out of whatever they can do. We desperately need Arabic speaking Christians to come help us.” -Missionary in Germany
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
~Luke 10:2
Pray for God’s glory to be known among refugees throughout Europe and beyond. Pray for breakthrough in “stuck” areas – the processing of people, this humanitarian response. Cry out for the entire generation of children growing up without education. Pray for Christian leaders in domains of society to make a difference through policy, management, and practical care.
God is stirring hearts with the hunger to know Him in this one of the most unreached nations in the world. Thanks for praying for the Cappadocia United Prayer Movement event, May 18-21. It was a wonderful time for local Turkish believers along with expatriates working in the country and intercessors from outside Turkey to pray for His breakthrough together. Here is a report from the organizers with some follow-on prayer concerns:
- We thank God that we could see His powerful work moving in His people in Turkey through the 2016 Turkey Outreach and Cappadocia United Prayer Movement
- We thank God that over 500 intercessors gathered together to unite in prayer for the spiritual breakthrough and great revival of the Turkish Church.
- We thank God that all the participants of English Camp, including teachers, children, youths, and their parents, experienced God’s grace during the Cappadocia United Prayer Movement.

That many Christian leaders in a variety of social realms such as politics, justice, and religion will be prepared for an upcoming great spiritual revival, in which they will carry out and deliver God's glory to the next generation
For Church Planting in All 81 Provinces of Turkey
- That churches would be planted in all 81 provinces of Turkey, so that they may incubate many seekers and baptize believers
- Pray that legal seminaries and bible schools would be built in Turkey, so that the next generation of spiritual leaders could be trained

- Pray that Salih, who received gospel through David Byle in prison, will continue to grow in his faith and live as God’s messenger in prison, and that God would make David Byle’s court cases known to Turkish Embassies, Consulates and to sympathetic politicians who are interested in protecting religious freedom
- Pray that Radio Shema in Ankara would be protected by God’s supernatural hands, and Christian workers at Radio Shema would be strengthened in their faith and hope, to keep up the hard work of spreading the gospel in the Black Sea region
- God’s truth and glory are revealed in Turkey, the Turkic window, and the Islamic world so that they may see spiritual restoration and revival
- Help Muslims in Turkey and the Middle East open their hearts toward the gospel, and may their hearts become good soil to produce good crops
- May the spirits of Islam that twist the gospel - "spirit of lies, confusion, fear, and dissension" - be gone

“John Brennan, current head of the CIA converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia.
Obama's top adviser, Valerie Jarrett, is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live.
Hillary Clinton's top adviser, Huma Abedin is a Muslim, whose mother and brother are still involved in the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt!
Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a Muslim .

Nancy Pelosi (Democrat minority leaders in the US House of Representatives) announced she will appoint Rep Andre Carson, D-Ind, a Muslim, as the first Muslim lawmaker on the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, of all things! It would make Carson the first Muslim to serve on the committee that receives intelligence on the threat of Islamic militants in the Middle East! He has he suggested that U.S. schools should be modeled after Islamic madrassahs, where education is based on the Quran!!!”
(From a report sent by a concerned prayer leader from abroad)
Some also think that Barack Hussein Obama is a closet Muslim himself… in Audacity of Hope (written by David Plouffe, his one-time speech writer) Obama states, ‘If things get UGLY, I will come down on the side of the Muslims.’
Let’s pray for God’s protection over the USA and other nations from being undermined from within by those who have sympathies with radical Islam. Within Islam, it is OK to lie in the cause of Allah. Pray that citizens and government officials will be discerning, wake up and resist any covert Islamic attempts to take over either governmentally, educationally or culturally.
Six Ways to Pray for Our Nation
1. PRAISE THE LORD THAT HIS SOVEREIGN GOODNESS IS AS TRUE TODAY AS EVER.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1)
Remember: This world ultimately belongs to God, who created all things and Who, in Christ, is restoring all things. This remains true now and forever.
2. REPENT OF SIN, AND THANK GOD FOR HIS PROMISED FORGIVENESS.
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? (Romans 2:1-4)
Remember: The Christian worldview teaches that all have sinned, and that we are welcomed by God through repentance. Nehemiah began his work in the world with repentance. So ought we.
3. PRAY FOR OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT LEADERS TO FIGHT EVIL AND STAND UP FOR TRUTH.
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (I Timothy 2:1-4)
Remember: There is no place where God is not at work, including in Nero’s household. God honors nations who honor Him.
4. PRAY THAT TRUTH AND JUSTICE WOULD PREVAIL OVER “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS” AND “TOLERANCE,” BOTH IN OUR OWN LIVES AND IN OUR CULTURE.
O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill? He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. (Psalm 15)
Remember: Right and wrong do not change according to cultural fashions, nor does legality alter morality.
5. PRAY FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTION SEASON, THAT GOD WILL SHOW US MERCY AND NOT GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE.
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
To you, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for you have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we asked of you, for you have made known to us the king’s matter.” (Daniel 2:20-23)
Remember: God ultimately orchestrates human history and uses whom He will to accomplish His purposes.
6. PRAY THAT GOD UNITES HIS PEOPLE, USING THEM TO BRING RESTORATION IN THIS BROKEN CULTURE.
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:16-19)
Remember: Those who have been reconciled to God have been put on mission as agents of reconciliation.
