2016 has the potential to bring about a reset of the USA, which has been so hard-hit with economic, political and moral problems over the first years of this century. This year will decide who many of our national and state leaders will be for the next four years, especially for the crucial and powerful position of president. It is encouraging to observe how the Spirit of the Lord is stirring up national prayer efforts of various kinds that will carry us through the year until November’s election. 

Here are just some of them. Some are by invitation only, but those with websites included are open to the public. Please do keep all of these initiatives in your prayers. It is crucial that we flow together and complement one another as we pray. United prayer is what brings breakthrough, not just isolated, independent efforts. 

• January 6-7, Atlanta- Cry Out Solemn Assembly- leaders from a broad spectrum of faith movements are working with Dr. Ronnie Floyd, the current Southern Baptist Convention President, to unite together beyond the boundaries for this significant prayer gathering.  There is a growing excitement as God continues to unite hearts and dreams for a Christ awakening in our nation.

• January 12-14, Washington D.C.- Healing the Land consultation with local prayer leaders (Dave Kubal, Intercessors for America and Ivan and Linda Doxtator, Native American leaders).

Prayer Concerns:

• Please pray for the organizers and the effective organization of each of these initiatives. Pray that each will be anointed and guided by the Lord and fulfill its unique purpose in the deliverance and destiny of America.
• Pray that the prayer movement and the churches across the country will flow together in the unity of the Spirit, transcending old animosities and divisions so that community by community His people will develop new levels of reconciliation and heart unity so that our nation can be revived and saved.
• Pray that wicked and corrupt politicians and others in influential positions will be removed from their positions and that this nation will be turned around to fulfill its destiny before God and once again become a blessing to the ends of the earth.
• Especially pray for God’s appointed and anointed person to be elected to lead the nation as our next president. Pray that he or she will be a person of integrity, wisdom who has a heart for the Lord and for the restoration of America.

Thanks for your support in prayer during this crucial year.
