Operation Jericho — mission 2

Week 6, year 2! (Sunday-Shabbat)

What is Operation Jericho?

It is Believers uniting together with the purpose of seeing walls of chaos, discouragement, spiritual blindness, discord fall down. Even as the wall around Jericho fell, and the Berlin Wall came down, our sovereign Lord will  bring down these walls thru prayer and fasting.

Everyone agrees there is much havoc going on around us. Confusion, frustration, overwhelm on many levels — not just surrounding us, Believers, but surrounding people in general. (I’m suspecting that things are going to be intense from now until the time of the election.)

Last week we saw victories – but more are needed. Many feel the need to continue our “search and destroy mission” of loosing the captives, the stranglehold that many who are weak in the faith are experiencing.

Mission 2 objective: our country and revival.

“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land,” 2 Chron 7:14, NIV.

Yet another example of how our country needs our intercession is the Aurora tragedy. The Father instructs that IF (the condition follows) HIS PEOPLE (not those who do not know Him) but if His people will humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our sin – then He will forgive and heal our land!

Yes, this is our Father’s heart to see this country healed, revival in our land, and that this country will once again become the “light on the hill”, emanating His Word. (Confirmation of Mission 2 came Friday morning. One of our special ops intercessory soldiers asked if we could pray & fast for our country and revival. And she didn’t know what I'd written the night before!! Yes, our heavenly Commander is leading and guiding us.)

We must recognize His voice. And we must also be aware and recognize our enemy’s tactics. It is he  who is trying to wear us down and discourage us from continuing to pray for the walls to come down. But our Lord’s battle plan is victorious! He will bring the break-through, but we must be steady and continue pressing forward.

What can we do to combat personal attacks and to move forward during this mission?

1.       #1, Recognize the havoc on us personally is an attack from the evil one. The enemy intends to dissuade us from our mission.

2.       Stay close to the Lord. Don’t allow satan to discourage and depress.

3.       Partake in a partial fast: Give up any food/drink that is a “love” of yours. It is a point of determination to see His victory.

4.       1Cor 10:13: “No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.”

5.       On a natural level, don’t get overly tired (we are more susceptible to attacks from the enemy when we are overly tired).

6.       Remember: our Lord is moving! He is positioning/orchestrating the pieces of the chessboard of all our lives for His glory!

Our love & prayers are with you!!!!! May we have eyes to see His victories. (Some may be tiny and others huge, but He is moving!)

“Heavenly Father, our sovereign Commander, thank You for having commissioned us! These last couple of years, You have been strengthening our spiritual muscles and readying us for battle. Thank You for allowing us to be partakers with You in breaking down these walls. We continue to pray for our country. Lord, heal our land. We continue to ask for Your forgiveness, that we might see our country healed. Lead, guide, and direct our leaders. We pray that your wisdom will reign in Israel – that she will act as You direct. Bring Your peace to this tiny piece of troubled Land. Thank You for having brought Natan and many of our soldiers home safely. Continue helping them to transition into ‘life back home’. Bring peace to their homes. Be with and protect the soldiers who are still in combat. Heal our intercessors. Give Your discernment to all of the special ops intercessory soldiers – protect their minds and spirits. In Your holy and precious Name, we pray.”
