PRAY FOR THE GATES OF OUR NATION--PART 6

"Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory" Ezekiel 43:1-2

LET US REPOSSESS THE EAST GATE OF GLORY!

Prayer Warrior, we need to "Rise Up" in a "United Warfare" effort and "Tear Down" this "Wicked Prince" and all his Cohorts that have caused the church in America in many cases to grow lukewarm and powerless. WHERE DO WE START? We start with holy planning and heavenly strategy by the Holy Spirit that will lead us into the "Victory" without fail. The gates of our nation have to be repossessed. There are four main gates: the North, East, South and West Gates. The work continues on the East Gate of our country. The East Gate faces the Atlantic Ocean on the East Coast from the state of Maine all the way down to Florida. There is an evil and powerful prince that controls this gate. He is the Prince of False Religion, and standing with this evil ruler is Witchcraft and the Occult. This is the ruling prince camped out at the East Gate of America. This evil spirit has captured the minds of many who are lovers of themselves, boasters, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof. (II Timothy 3:1-2). Prayer Warriors, get excited; the East Gate is truly the direction of God’s Glory, and this gate originally belongs to Jesus. It is the Glory Gate or the Gate of Revival!

“Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with His glory.” Ezekiel 43:1-2. We need a united effort of prayer warriors to war against this evil prince that hinders and blocks true revival from coming into America. This is why, years ago, and still today certain areas of the East coast were populated with witches and covens. God has given United Intercessors a commission to raise up Ten Thousand (10,000) Warriors Across America—2,500 to be posted at each gate, the gatekeepers who will work together with us to TAKE OUR NATION'S GATES BACK FROM THIS EVIL PRINCE. I have already begun to make contacts with Prayer Warriors on the East Coast who will "Battle With Us" and as we continue to pray that our Lord Jesus continues to raise up prayer warriors from each state that will come and "Unite" with the Divine Connection Of Prayer, then this "Evil Prince" will be Pulled Down, He Will No Longer Rule At This Gate! We will Reclaim the Gate for our Lord Jesus Christ—the Lord of Glory who shall come with a host of angels to guard this doorway. We need the "True Wind Of Revival" to blow in through this gate of our country.

If you would like to be a watchman (Prayer Warrior) on the wall for revival on the East Gate, e-mail me right away at uipwc@bellsouth.net. The Lord has instructed me by the Holy Spirit to immediately begin to gather Prayer Warriors from Every Gate who will Stand and Pray with us so we can Save Our Nation From The Spoilers who want to Destroy Us. The Lord has always had Esthers and Deborahs in the past that have moved in great wisdom, love and prayer to save His people! He has Esthers and Deborahs that are ready in this hour, and prayerfully you are one of them. The Lord Jesus over the past 27 years has imparted unto me the "Strategy of Warfare" needed in this hour to "Tear Down" the "Wicked Prince" on the "East Gate." I have the "Divine Strategy" from heaven above that can mobilize thousands of prayer warriors across this country who will be used in this hour for the job. Time Is Running Out—Let Us Unite And Usher In Revival!

QUICK REVIEW ON THE GATES:

FOUR MAIN GATES:

• North Gate is 12 o’clock • East Gate is 3 o’clock • South Gate is 6 o’clock • West Gate is 9 o’clock

RULING PRINCES ON THE EAST GATE

False Religion

False Prophets

Doctrine Of Men

Cults

Worship Of The Sun

Covens

Witches

Witchcraft

Eastern Mysticism

Mind Religions

DRESS FOR THE BATTLE:

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6:11 " Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night..." Isaiah 60:11

"Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise." Isaiah 60:18

As we form the "Divine Connection Of Prayer" at certain appointed times we will Pray/War and together "Pull Down" this Spirit of False Religion – man-made religions, etc. which are still trying to occupy this gate. Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people." Ezekiel 11:1

This is the Gate of God’s Glory. Ask the Lord to send His ministering angels to come and stand guard over this gate. Ask Almighty God to have His Son, the King of kings, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come reign in His fullness at this gate and let His glory of revival sweep over our cities and nation. "Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory." Ezekiel 43:1-2 We will Pray that the Lord send His glory, power, signs, wonders and miracles to our services.

Let us begin by asking the Holy Spirit to search our own hearts, that we may be totally set free from religious spirits. Repent of any spirits of the occult, Python (control and manipulation), divination, etc. that we receive deliverance and be totally cleansed and purified. "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

TAKING THE GATES OF OUR NATION--PART 5 "THE EAST GATE OF AMERICA"

Pray For The Gates Of Our Nation!

“O my God, incline thine ear and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name; for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.” Daniel 9:18-19

THE EAST GATE OF AMERICA PART #5

Psalms 85:6 reads, “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” The Psalmist cried, “Send us revival Great and Mighty God!” Today, we cry out the same, “Lord we need revival in America!” How many times have you heard that cry? But again I repeat, “We need TRUE REVIVAL LORD! Not a man-made show or one that says come and join our church and see this great time we’re having, but rather a revival that draws the lost people by His Mighty Holy Spirit.” We need a "Revival" that needs no neon signs with flashing lights to call attention in saying "Revival" is here. A flashing neon sign is not necessary when God’s Holy Power is there drawing sinners, backsliders and a lukewarm church like a magnet to His presence. What we really need is God’s True Power to flow from heaven above, followed with a Wave Of His Glory like we’ve never seen before. We need a revival that will come suddenly like a rushing mighty wind to stir us up and out of our complacency and lukewarmness here in America. We are a Nation Void Of God’s Power And Glory. This type of true revival is one that is a result of the prayers of a people who are Genuine Prayer Warriors and Intercessors--People who Hunger For More Of God. A true revival is birthed from individuals who have a Lifestyle of Prayer. Your next question may be, “Is this really possible in America today?” Let us look at the Word of God for that answer, “Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.” Acts. 3:1

A REVIVAL WITH POWER NEEDED

Peter and John were prayer partners. At three o’clock in the afternoon they were praying in the church. They were not mowing the lawn or getting their hair styled, nor were they playing golf or taking their afternoon nap. All these things, like mowing the lawn, getting hour hair styled, playing golf and taking an afternoon nap represent the American lifestyle of the church. We live in a time that these things many times take priority over prayer and serving in the church; therefore, our nation is paying a dear price because of “No True Revival.” But not Peter and John, they set an example for us, they were full of the power of Jesus, they were praying at three o’clock in the afternoon. They were about their father’s business. As a modern day church we want the same power to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils, yet our lifestyle has no room for Jesus! Peter and John were charged up with the presence of God because they spent time with Jesus. They reflected the one they were spending time with. What or who do we spend most of our time with? In America we have become, in many cases, a powerless church loaded down with programs, agendas, entertainment, and extra curricular activities. This is causing many to grow lukewarm in their relationship with Jesus. Demon rulers have taken over our Nation’s Gates, while church watchmen sleep. We have been pulled away from the presence of our God by the cares of this world.

CHURCH WATCHMEN ASLEEP

As we read further in this chapter of the book of Acts, it reads, “And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.” Acts. 3:2-5. This lame man was carried daily to the gate Beautiful so he could beg for his daily bread. Now, I know this man was tired of being a cripple who was always dependent on others. He was a man in much despair and hopelessness. As the lame man looked upon these two apostles, he sensed that they had something to give him. He immediately held out his cup expecting a few pennies, that he so desperately needed, when to his surprise, Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6. Peter was not a man who had silver and gold because he had let go of all his worldly possessions to come and follow Jesus. He was not consumed with chasing after success and the almighty dollar, but rather followed hard after his New Profession—A Fisher Of Men. This new profession caused him to be full of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and he became a carrier of His Holy Spirit. “And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.” Acts 3:7. Peter did not hesitate, not even for a moment; but, convinced in his heart, reached down to this lame beggar and up he came—his feet and ankle bones healed in the name of Jesus! “And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.” Acts 3:8. This man needed no coaxing to come to church. There was no presentation on how good the church was, or enticing with the color of carpet, or how big the youth group was and how many programs they had, or how many activities he could attend, but it was the Genuine Power Of God that “Healed Him” and “Drew Him” into the church doors of the temple. This man was no longer a crippled and lamed beggar, but rather he became whole by the Power of God and he walked, leaped and Praised God. What a testimony he was to the people who had seen him earlier at the GATE BEAUTIFUL!

AMERICA IN DISTRESS

Many came to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and the early Church Grew because of the many Signs, Wonders and Miracles that ushered in "Great Revival!" PRAYER WARRIORS WE NEED THAT POWER AGAIN! Why is true revival not happening for us in America? Oh yes, I know that there are God’s Mercy Drops in a few places in our country, but why only a few? What do we need to do to bring a “Glorious Wave Of Revival” to America just like the one Peter and John experienced? Before we answer the above question, let us talk about another Great Man of God who holds some keys and answers for us. “Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.” Nehemiah 2:17. As we look at this scripture, we see that in Jerusalem were also a people void of real revival because there were No Watchmen On The Walls! We can say the same: today the distress in America is alarming. We are overrun with moral decay, drugs, alcohol, sexual perversion and crime. The Church Is Lukewarm—a lot of Big Empty Words with No Power. Where are the Watchmen On The Walls and those who Guard The Gates in America? Nehemiah has the answer and his message still speaks the way for us to go. The Gates Of Our Nation are burned with fire and the enemy is camped out there. He comes in and out with his Pornography, Humanistic Values, Rape and Stealing of all our best industry. He is slowly but cleverly turning us into a One World Country, Dependent on a One World System instead of a Nation Dependent on the One God, with the "Great Blessings" he has originally intended us to have.

Wake Up Call To America!

Dear Praying Friends, The "Snow" continues to fall in Washington DC and other areas on the North East Coast. Washington DC is the National Government Seat. Our God is not pleased with our law makers who are making laws which are against the Ten Commandments. Then on 2/10/10 an "Earthquake" of a 4.3 magnitude hit West of Chicago, Illinois, our President's state. Our God is "Shaking Up America" and we are under a "Severe Weather Judgment" for our Abominations and Blood Shed of Innocent Babies. It is as if God is Shaking Us Out Of Our Deep Sleep, the "Earthquake" hit at 4 a.m.(deep sleep hour). We can "Expect" the Judgments to Continue! We are going to begin to see the "Eruption of Volcanoes" in the world, and here in the Western World. The Pacific Ocean is being targeted and we have "Volcanoes" in the Western part of America off the Pacific Ocean, state of Washington, Oregon, California and through out Hawaii and other nearby places. Volcanoes spew bubbling lava, gases and ash. In Leviticus 18:24-25. "Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants." Because of our many Abominations and Sexual Perversions we are "Going to be Judged." When Volcanoes begin to erupt--its like the land vomiting out her inhabitants because of its abominations spoken of in Leviticus 18. AMERICA, AMERICA, "Repent Before It Is Too Late." The blessing we have enjoyed in the past is because of God Almighty and His Son the LORD JESUS CHRIST--as a nation you have rejected Him and broken covenant with Him. As I continue to watch the snow fall, the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance what Isaiah 1:18 says., "...though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though your sins be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." America, Repent, Turn Around And He Will Forgive Us! In His love and service, hilda arredondo, UIPWC of Louisiana 253 Blossom Rd. Opelousas, La. 70570 Prayer Line (337) 948-1501

TAKING THE GATES OF OUR NATION--PART # 4 "FALSE GODS"

“O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.” Daniel 9:18-19 PRAYER WARRIORS INTERCESSORS! SOLDIERS AT LARGE! EVERYONE WHO PRAYS! Let us bind together in the privacy of our homes and dismantle the enemy of the North, South, East and West Gates of Our Nation. Let us war and pull down these Evil Spirits and as they are dethroned, "Pray" that the Righteous Judge (JESUS CHRIST) the LORD OF GLORY will once again sit on the Gates of our Nation. Please set some time aside daily and pray in the Unity Of The Faith with United Intercessors in this strategy to take the “Gates” for the Lord Jesus Christ! God has a Mighty Plan for Us and as we achieve this all of us will benefit from this Victory in every area. Psalm 133:1-3

PART #4 THE NORTH GATE – “FALSE GODS”

First, let us talk about the NORTH GATE and where it is located. It is located at 12 o’clock noon on the time clock or pointing North. There was a particular “Ruling Spirit” at this first gate. So if you were looking down at a United States Map that was laying flat on a table-12 0'clock would be NORTH and the states on that gate would be North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois and Alaska. “Then He said unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.” Ezekiel 8:5.

This particular ruling spirit on the North was referred to as the IMAGE OF JEALOUSY because it stood in God’s stead towards the NORTH. It provoked the Almighty God to anger, because a “False” god stood in HIS PLACE. Let us look at this IMAGE OF JEALOUSY, what is it? For one, always a spirit of jealousy is identified with a spirit of strife, division and competition. Some would accept these spirits as good, healthy, and normal attitudes in the hearts of the people, but the truth of the matter is that at the root of competition is “Jealousy” which produces Division, Strife and Hatred. Instead of LOVE among the brethren it produces Disunity. The Word of God reads, “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish. For where envying and strive is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:14-16. As we read this scripture from God’s Holy Word, we can certainly see that envy and strife opens us up to evil spirits. The evil demonic force of the IMAGE OF JEALOUSY (which carries spirits of Strife, Division and Competition) sits on this North Gate as a Ruling Prince, blocking what? Revival,Yes, BLOCKING REVIVAL!

To better understand the North Gate position we have to see the direction of the number twelve on the time clock. It is North. North is also the direction of Judgment. Jeremiah 50:3 reads, "For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.” In Jeremiah 1:14, it reads, " Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the North an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. In Jeremiah 47:2, it reads, "thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood..." These are only a few scriptures. Twelve is also the Number of Government. Jesus chose 12 disciples. They were the governing foundation of the early church. (Luke 6:13).

Read Acts 1:23-26. That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. As they gave forth their lot; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he numbered with the eleven apostles.” It was very important the twelfth slot be filled. There were 12 Tribes Of Israel, and Twelve Stones represent the Tribes of Israel (twelve representing governing bodies). In Revelation 19: 4, "And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.” These 24 elders are divisible by 2 which equals two twelves. Washington D.C. the nation's seat of government is located North East on the United States map. In REPOSSESSING the NORTH GATE—just as the people in Nehemiah’s day gathered as one man at the water gate to pray, let us also UNITE in "TARGET PRAYING" to take the Gates Of Our Nation. This evil demonic force of the "IMAGE OF JEALOUSY" Sits on this Gate as the Ruling Prince, Blocking Revival as we said earlier. Many times different denominations, churches, or individuals want to be used to say they broke forth first with revival-Oh, What Terrible Pride! The "Great Revival" that we need will not be identified with churches, denominations, or individuals, but with Jesus and all the people of God. Let us begin by allowing the Holy Spirit to search our own hearts and Repent of Jealousy, Strife, Division, and Competition. We must "War" and "Pull Down" this evil, first in our own hearts, before we can pray and war for our nation.

JESUS REIGNS OVER US

As we continue to look at the NORTH GATE, we read, “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.” Ezekiel 8:14. Tammuz was also a false god. This NORTH GATE was the gate of "False Gods." As we prayed and fasted many were the false gods that were revealed to me that reigned at our nation's gate. The false gods of the love of money, prestige, pride of life, drugs, alcohol, etc. Others were: Greed, Sports, Addictions, Bribery, Perverted Justice, Prostitution, Corrupted Governments and Pornography. We will take authority over all these spirits in Due Season, Tearing Them Down. As the "Praying Gatekeepers" stood their watch with Prayer and Intercession--we prayed that all Government Officials would Seek the Lord and be Lead by Him.

Pray that all the Unsaved on the North Gate Be Converted to the Lord Jesus Christ. God Loves All Men And Wants To Save All, but those men who "DO NOT" have the best interest of the "People Of Our Nation" and continue to reject God,be "Uprooted" from this Gate. Pray that God replace them with His Choice of Holy, Godly Believers. The Holy Spirit instructed us to pray for the operation of a Pure, Holy, National, State and City Governments, for Men and Women that would Love True Justice, Peace, and Righteousness of God’s Holy Word. In 1 Timothy 2:1-3, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.”

Jeremiah 1:10 reads, “See I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Now it was time to plant. We prayed to Almighty God to send His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to Reign Over That Gate. All corruption that had been entering in through that gate will never enter again, because Jesus Christ sits at this Gate as the Righteous Judge over our city—it original function was to be the GATE OF JUSTICE AND TRUTH with OUR LORD JESUS as THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. It is important to "War in the Spirit Realm" and "Pull Down" All Evil In High Places, that the Lord may place those of "His Choosing" in Positions of Authority Over Our City and National Gates. As we pray about the hidden things going on, He Will Reveal & Tear Down. Because there were no watchmen guarding this gate, corruption came in to our nation. It was around the 1920's that alcohol, illegal gambling, prostitution and murder began to pour in through this gate into our nation. Evil Men like Al Capone and others were used as they took this gate through the city of Chicago, Illinois.

The NORTH GATE—Remember this was the Gate of False Gods, but now it is known as the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, (Gate of Justice/Truth)

1. Pray that Jesus and all His Angels Rule and Seal this Gate Off with the Precious Blood of Jesus – from all Evil--Amen.

2. Pray that our Gates be known as the Gates of Praise! Isaiah 60:18. "Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise!"

TAKING THE GATES OF OUR NATION--PART 3

“O my God, incline thine ear and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name; for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.” Daniel 9:18-19 The Church of our Lord Jesus Christ desires to see the power and a move of the Spirit. We have seen a measure, a trickle here and there, but we desire to see more. PRAYER WARRIORS INTERCESSORS! SOLDIERS AT LARGE! EVERYONE WHO PRAYS! Let us bind together in the privacy of our homes and dismantle the enemy of the North, South, East and West Gates of Our Nation. Let us war and pull down these Evil Spirits and as they are dethroned, pray that the Righteous Judge (JESUS CHRIST) the LORD OF GLORY will once again sit on the Gates of our nation! Please set some time aside "Daily" and "Pray in the Unity of the Faith" with United Intercessors in this strategy to take the “Gates” for the Lord Jesus Christ! God has a Mighty Plan for "Us" and as we achieve this all of us will benefit from this "Victory" in every area. Psalm 133:1-3

Part #3 “Possessing Our Cities for the Lord Almighty"

Daniel prayed, “Oh my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by they name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies.” Daniel 9:18. In this verse of Scripture from the Book of Daniel, it actually is talking about the city of Jerusalem, God’s Chosen City. Today, as we view America, we also see many cities; and our God has a "Special Plan" for each one. Yet, our cities are in desolate conditions. The word desolate means to” lie waste” As many of us look back over our past lives recalling when we first came to Jesus, and how our lives have changed for the better as we began to attend church and serve the Lord, many times we have possibly said, “Oh, those ‘wasted years’.” By that we mean we weren’t doing anything fruitful in our lives for Jesus Christ. That is the same thought we can have as we read Daniel’s prayer in the above scripture. He saw the city lying waste, and today, many of our cities in America lay waste.

COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK

There is no real fruit of the “Fire of Jesus Christ” (Revival). Churches sincerely try, struggle, and seem to fall back in their efforts for revival. The reason being that Satan’s wicked powers rule, and reign over them. The Church, in general, has not known what to do, other than lock themselves up behind their four walls and build their own little places of refuge. Meantime, God’s good people, who are citizens of our communities, are surrounded with many problems, sin, and much wickedness. Chaos and confusion is beating at our church doors. We are being forced to come out and take a look at what is happening around us; yet, not only look, but begin to diligently intercede for our cities, so that demonic holds can be broken.

TIME OF THE PRAYER WARRIOR

The Church is being called to come out of her comfort zone by taking the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and face the forces of darkness with warfare from the Spirit of the living God! IT IS THE TIME OF THE WARRIOR! God’s call goes out to His people, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Isaiah 60:1. It is time to call upon God for His help for the deliverance of our cities if we are to have revival. Daniel, in his prayer, continued to say, “Oh Lord, hear; Oh Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake Oh my God: For thy city and thy people are called by thy name. “ Daniel 9:19. As Daniel interceded in great humility before God, not demanding his so called, “Rights As A Child Of God,” but rather, identified with the sins of the people and their miserable wretchedness. Intercessors, today, are called to do the same. We are to confess the sins of our cities before the God of Heaven in the powerful name of Jesus, and ask for forgiveness.

PRAY FOR AND BLESS YOUR CITY

Years ago, the Lord would send us south to beautiful Louisiana and we would spend seven years there. Originally, we were from up north. Prior to this move, I had tried many times to leave my hometown, hating it because it was a small one. Looking from a lost person’s view, which I was at the time, my little city appeared to have no glamour, and I absolutely felt it was “dullsville.” Always, my secret desire was to be elsewhere in a big, glamorous city. Then, in later years, I got “saved” and I adjusted somewhat better to where God had placed me. I had inner peace to a measure, but, then I always detested the snow and cold weather, and again, my secret attitude of the heart was, “why didn’t God put us in a place that was warm with palm trees and flowers all year round?” I still carried a grumbling attitude because of the place where I lived. In Louisiana, we spent seven years in the kind of climate we had always so desired. During those seven years, among the many things that transpired, one was a longing in my soul to know where I belonged. To our surprise, in 1987, the Lord would send us back up north after our ministry training. It was settled in my heart that God had planted my husband and I and our children in this little town.

TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Our first winter back, my husband, and I stood outside as the first snow fell and worshipped the Lord for the winter season. Oh, what a joy welled up inside our souls, knowing He had a specific purpose for Jose, I and our children – where we were planted! This was our city, we were to love it and pray for it. We began thanking the Lord for our city and blessed it daily. Many things that I had not been aware of before, NOW, spoke to me so wonderfully. The city was known as “The City of Trees,” and many of our streets are named after them. Some are called, Myrtle, Olive, Maple, and Woodbine. The Lord began to speak to me that He had a "Special Plan For Our City" from the beginning of its foundation, but Satan’s forces were ruling instead. He needed the city claimed back for His Glory. In January of 1988, I went to the library and did a study of the history of our city. The Lord would speak to me that our city was called to be a city of priests after Isaiah 61:3-4, “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. And they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.” Yes, our community was called to be a city of the “Trees Of Righteousness,” a royal priesthood, yet, as I looked around the city, it laid waste; No Real Revival, No Real Glory Of God, and No Fire For Jesus. The Lord said, “I need a Joshua to work through so I can take the city.” Later, I would realize, as I looked at painted signs around our city, one said, “The City of Blossoms.” Besides the wood trees, there were many blossoming flowers and trees planted throughout our city. The Lord said, “I want my "GLORY’ to blossom in this city.” He instructed me to go back to the public library and continue to study the history of our city. I would find out many reasons why our city lay in ruins: Evil spirits of prejudice, pride, and greed had crept into our city over the years, and spirits of the occult and cults reigned over us. It was time to pray!! Every other month, we would have an all-night, twenty-four (24) hour prayer meeting to pray for our City, State, and Nation. We did this for several years, inviting people from our community to come and pray. Then, we began to move into "Forty Days" of Prayer and Fasting.

GO OUT AND POSSESS THE CITY

Then, one day, the Lord called a small nucleus of us, who could regard confidence and move in discretion (Characteristics Of A Good Warrior), and instructed us to prepare to and possess the gates of our city. “That in blessing, I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.” Genesis 22:17. The Lord would direct me by the Spirit to go out and possess the Gates Of Our City. He further said, “Just as I gave Joshua in his time, the commission to go and take Jericho, I’m speaking to the Joshua's of today to do the same. If they obey and do as I say, they, too, will possess their cities.” Genesis 24:60, “And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou are our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.” Of course, my first question was, “Where And What Are The Gates Of Our City?” He would lead us step by step, revealing from His Word, how to recognize and identify the particular Gates Of Our City. He would instruct us to get a map of our city. As we began to seek the Lord with prayer, He would reveal to us that Our Cities have Four Main Gates; they are located at the Four Main Directions: North, East, South, and West. Each "Gate" of direction is usually Located At A Street entrance In Your City. These gates went around our city clockwise. Clockwise – the North Gate is 12 o’clock , the East Gate is 3 o’clock, the South Gate is 6 o’clock, and the West Gate is 9 o’clock. Now the same strategy goes clockwise for the Nation's Four Main Gates, as you will read later. Share with your friends about this "Exciting Study" Of The Gates.

TAKING THE GATES OF OUR NATION--NEHEMIAH PLEASE STAND UP

"NEHEMIAH'S ARE SKILLED WARRIORS"

We need the Nehemiahs in America today. Who is Nehemiah? “And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, and said, “I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my Father’s house have sinned.” Nehemiah 1:4-6. Nehemiah was a man of prayer who had a personal relationship with the God of Heaven. He knew how to intercede and get results from the throne room. He had a great reverence for the great and terrible God. I will say again, “Today, we need men of prayer like Nehemiah.” The Nehemiahs of our time who are being raised up for this present hour are more than just Intercessors, they are Revivalists who carry the Spirit of Reformation. They are BOLD, FEARLESS and come with a HOLY COMMISSION from GOD. Their orders for the day are to "Rally a People" to Rise Up and War! They are GOD'S CHOSEN MEN/WOMEN for the hour with a Burden for Revival in their city and nation. They are Men and Women who have Forsaken all “Earthly Goods for the Heavenly Commission.” They know how to fast, get a hold of God and can readily identify with the Sin In The Land as they pray.

NEHEMIAH IS A SKILLED WARRIOR, as God’s servant, I see a problem among the people of God. When a new move of God is birthed, many try to get on the bandwagon, so to speak, either by trying to appoint themselves or appoint someone they know who has a title or a famous TV show and make them the “Man of the Hour.” Saints, please hear me; men and women with doctorates, degrees, and titles behind their names are great. Doctors, lawyers, and saints with TV Gospel shows are great. Ditch diggers, welders, and common laborers are great, but let me share something with you; it is going to take more than great people with TV shows, doctorates, and degrees to be Nehemiahs. The Nehemiahs of our time are warriors whose hands have been trained to war. They are skilled by the Holy Spirit to tear down, pluck up, and push down the works of darkness. They have been prepared to stand against the principalities, powers and wicked spirits of darkness. NEHEMIAH'S ARE SOLDIERS OF GOD. Just recently a good Christian woman called me on the phone and told me that God had called her to take her city for the Lord. While talking to her, she shared with me that she did not pray much or even very long when she did pray and has never done any spiritual warfare. As I continued to listen intently to her conversation, I knew she had given up nothing for the Gospel's sake. Later, after that conversation I thought, “My God, My God, how can some of your people be so deceived?” The Holy Spirit revealed to me that this woman desired secret power and the limelight. New moves of God are always noised throughout the camps of God’s people; therefore, she had heard about Taking Cities For God. She thought taking the city would be exciting and her "secret fault of pride" was deceiving her to be presumptuous. Beloved, the real Nehemiahs of our time are SOLDIERS OF GOD and GENERALS OF INTERCESSION who have fought the Good Fight of Faith, Risked their Lives and have been Tried and Tested by the Lord before they were ever given the commission to Take a City. They carry a special mantle that allows them to face these evil powers camped at our GATES. They are not lime lighters, entertainers, or showmen and certainly don’t work alone, but as Nehemiah, a people are drawn to them. The people whom Nehemiah draws by the anointing are not just any people, but rather Tough, Committed Christians who have a mind to work and work hard! Sister Hilda, you may ask, “you’ve shared with us about the importance of Nehemiahs returning to America with a burden to Rebuild the Walls and Gates Of Our Nation.

WHERE DO WE BEGIN?

1. The first thing you do is to pray that our God raise up an individual with the Heart of Nehemiah in your city or bring one in for the job. Perhaps one of you reading this article could be one or a Nehemiah in the making.

2. Secondly, recognize Nehemiah when he shows up. You will know them by the Special Umbrella of Divine Protection they carry to perform the job.

3. They will be BOLD, FEARLESS and have a WARRING ANOINTING.

4. He/She will NOT BE CORRUPTED with Hidden Sins of Lusts. They have paid the price of Getting Rid of Secret Faults. The Fire of the Holy Spirit has already come to their lives as a "Consuming Fire" Revealing Secret Motives, Sin and Burned up the Dross of their Iniquity.

5. They are HOLY WARRIORS that carry the Presence of Jesus and STAND in GOD'S AUTHORITY.

NEHEMIAH'S ARE MANTLED FOR THE JOB, they will help you Identify the Gates of Your City. They have Anointed Plans and Strategies directly from the Throne of Heaven. These Holy Strategies come from Hours, Months, and Years Spent at the Feet of Jesus. They’ve encountered the Mean, Deadly, and Dangerous Prince that is Camped Out at your City Gates. They also know that without the “Mantle of God” upon them they would never dare enter the arena of these Killer Giants who are out to Destroy the Nehemiahs who will lead God's people to victory. Nevertheless, in obedience They Will Stand in the Day of Battle With Assurance that Jesus Is With Them to protect them. Modern Day Nehemiahs carry the Mantle of a Prophet and Apostle and will Raise Up a New kind of Church—a Warring Church made up of Prayer Warriors who are young, middle aged and old, both male and female, regardless of race or color. They will "Pull Down" the Principality, Identify, and "Demolish Territorial Giants" over their cities. Nehemiah's have the Keys to Intercession and Warfare, along with the Heavenly Commission for the job. Together, they will "Possess the Gates of the City, Rise Up, and Build for the Glory of God the Father, the Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. Amen… Thank you so much for reading this message.

TAKING THE GATES OF OUR NATION!

“O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.” Daniel 9:18-19

The Church of our Lord Jesus Christ desires to see the power and a move of the Spirit. We have seen a measure, a trickle here and there, but we desire to see more. PRAYER WARRIORS INTERCESSORS! SOLDIERS AT LARGE! EVERYONE WHO PRAYS! Let us bind together in the privacy of our homes and dismantle the enemy of the North, South, East and West Gates of Our Nation. Let us war and pull down these Evil Spirits and as they are dethroned, pray that the Righteous Judge (JESUS CHRIST) the LORD OF GLORY will once again sit on the Gates of our Nation. Please set some time aside daily and pray in the Unity of the Faith with United Intercessors in this strategy to take the “Gates” for the Lord Jesus Christ! God has a Mighty Plan for Us and as we achieve this all of us will benefit from this Victory in every area. Psalm 133:1-3

Nehemiah 1:3, “And they said unto me, the remnants that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.” Nehemiah received a disturbing report—the people whom God loved so dearly and had brought out from bondage were again in captivity, affliction, and reproach! What caused them to be brought back into this alarming state of captivity and reproach? The answer to this question is in this same verse of scripture—the wall around Jerusalem was broken down and needed repair and the city gates were burned with fire. The cities of that time usually had a stone wall around them for protection and the gates were considered the doorways of the city. They were usually made of strong wood; some were covered with brass and a few were known to be overlaid with gold. Cities without any gates or doorways were left wide open to the “spoilers” of that day, who would come in to do three (3) things: rape the women, kill the men, take their goods and take their children captive. The Gates of the city were the place where the elders transacted legal business, conversation and the reading of the law. The Proverbs 31 Woman, verse 23 says, “Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.” Since the gates were the doorways of the city, therefore, no gates, no doors, the enemy ran rampant.

Today it is the same in America, the Gates Of The Nation are torn down. Earlier I shared that the enemy would do three major things: rape the women, kill the men, take their goods, and take them captive. In the 911 terrorist attack in New York 81% of the men were killed. In John 10:10, it reads, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.”We need the praying gatekeepers or watchmen. Rape also runs rampant and our children are taken captive everyday by drugs, alcohol, etc. here in America.

Where are the watchmen or gatekeepers needed to "Guard" the Gates of America? As we read the first chapter of Nehemiah we certainly get a picture of the pitiful state of the city of Jerusalem, with its broken down walls and burnt gates. There was a problem in Jerusalem—there were no watchmen upon the wall guarding the city; no one seemed to care about its welfare and safety. Therefore, the city was left open to terrorizing attacks of the enemy. The enemy could come in at anytime to kill, steal, and destroy, and that he did! If you would, please try to imagine your house with no doors and torn down walls, while you and your family try to sleep at night or rest during the day. Picture in your mind sitting down during the day at your breakfast table to eat and your kitchen door is gone and the kitchen wall has big holes in it, and in other places the walls are broken. At night, when you lay down in your bed and pull the covers tightly up around your neck, you see that the wall is also torn down and the door of your bedroom is gone and the windows have been broken. How would you feel? Would you feel safe, warm, and peaceful? No, you wouldn’t, but rather you would feel insecure, cold, and troubled. Yes, thieves and robbers could easily have access into your home. Wild animals and perhaps even snakes could crawl in and hurt your loved ones. Therefore, I know that you will agree that the doors and walls of your dwelling place are needed for your safety and refuge.

The gates were torn, the wall was down and there were no watchmen. Today in America the same, the watchmen and gatekeepers are the prayer warriors, intercessors, and the prophetic men and women of God, who are called to stand in the gap and guard the gates of our cities. Where are they? As we look around America today, we can see some of the very same problems within our country that existed in the city of Jerusalem. At one time there was a hedge around us for our divine protection. It was put there by the Almighty Hand of God. When a people acknowledge God, He acknowledges them. Our enemies would try to come against us, but the Wall of Divine Defense would not allow them to come in. Our Lord stood in our behalf and our country was like a wall and defensed city impenetrable by the enemy.

As we look back over the last few decades we see that something has happened to America. Evil spoilers began to come in and ransack the people of our country. Good companies that have employed hundreds of good American people in the past are closing up with very little notice to its employees and moving out of the nation. The “Blessings of the Lord” which were given to us by Almighty God are picking up as if they had wings and leaving to foreign countries. The America we have known and loved is dying! The spoilers of crime, rape, drugs, alcohol, pornography, and evil have invaded our country. Our education system has been taken over by the “spoilers” of humanistic values and Antichrist beliefs who daily corrupt the minds of our little children; therefore, many of our young are growing up without Christ. Our wall which was made up of the Ten Commandments, Prayer in Schools and the Bible is torn down and our Gates are Burned with Fire. America is headed for "Greater Troubles" and something needs to be done! You may ask, “What can we do?” The answer is not hard; it is found in God’s Word.

Next week we will post Part 2, the continuation of this message on the Gates. Tell your praying friends about these messages-there will be many to come. I will share with you the revelation the Holy Spirit has imparted to me about the Gates of America. From 1980-1990 I was in my prayer closet. In 1980 I went down on my knees and face and in 1990, ten years later the call came from Almighty God that He was going to stand me up. He revealed to me that I went down on my face as an Intercessor and ten years later HE would stand me up in the Prophetess calling to speak what He had given me during that time. It would take three more years to get up from this kneeling position of my heart. The revelation of the Gates was not copied from another individual, it was a heavenly revelation imparted to me by my Heavenly Father and I was not allowed to reveal it till the years of the "Fiery Crucible" were over. Through this study I will reveal who is camped out at the gates of our nation. WE NEED a total of TEN THOUSAND WARRIORS (10,000) TO PRAY FOR THE GATES OF THE NATION and tear down the powers that are there destroying our nation.

Please help me spread this message-Our Nation is in Trouble and You and I can Make a Difference for her Deliverance. If, after reading this article, your moved to become part of this Divine Connection of Prayer for taking the Gates of Our Nation which will bring Revival, E-mail me immediately!
