One of the issues I want to encourage you to pray over are the schools. Why? During one of our prayer sessions, we prayed for the schools and I want to tell you, God is granting us authority in areas we may not have realized we had. The Lord wants us to take dominion of our nation back for the Kingdom of God. He does not want us to sit idly by and wait for the enemy to slaughter our children; He wants us to take dominion! I want to encourage you to go to the campuses in your cities and raise up a standard of protection. Go to the schools—the preschools, the elementary schools, the junior high, the high school and the college campuses—and walk the boundaries of the campus, raising a standard of righteousness. Declare the word of the Lord over that school.

Now, am I not telling you to go there, declaring the Word of the Lord, at 8:30am when all the parents are dropping off their children. Someone just might have you arrested! However, I am encouraging you to go on the weekends when you have the freedom to take hold of the educational system for the Kingdom of God! Pray over the curriculum, the teachers, the students, the administrative staff and so on. Pray that the veil of deception will come down and the Light will penetrate the campus through and through. Pray that the Lord will protect those children from the plans of the enemy. If you need your faith lifted up, go to our website and read about what God has done through our prayers!

Friends, we have more authority in the Kingdom of God than we realize and it is time for us to start exercising that authority. Take back dominion! Last year there was a petition going around to support putting on the marquis of all the schools, “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.” I am reminded of the fact that they took the Bible out of our schools and now they want to take a direct commandment from the Ten Commandments and display it on their marquis. Removing the Bible and prayer from our schools left our children exposed because we removed God from those campuses. Go, and in the Name of Jesus, declare the Ten Commandments over the campus. Proclaim that there will be no drugs and alcohol on those campuses. Declare that the Word of God will be allowed in the classrooms once again! Let the Spirit of the Lord lead you in this but, as intercessors, we are called to be a shield, guarding the earth from the enemy and proclaiming the Word of the Lord! Let’s go and do! Take your Bible with you and read the scriptures as you go around the school and bring that campus back under the dominion of the Lord God Almighty. Let’s stand together and bring our children back under the protection of the Lord.

God is raising up a new breed of believers who have the faith, the passion, the fervency and the hunger to see the Kingdom of God planted and deeply rooted in this nation. They are those who desire to see a standard of righteousness raised up in this nation, who will fight for righteousness, who are fearless as they press in on behalf of those who cannot press in for themselves.

Will you be among them? Will you take a stand of righteousness? Will you commit yourself to pressing into God that you might be used of Him in ways that you did not think possible? It is time to see God move. It is time to experience the fervency and the passion of the living God in your life. He is doing something in the spirit. He is stirring us up, He is stirring up His children! And as He does this, He is going to begin imparting things into us. God is going to be tangible! Tangible! I know people who are faithful to God. They pray, and they read the Word of God and they have been faithful for 30 or 40 years, and they say, “But I want to feel Him! I want to see Him!” That is what is coming. Tangible. Passionate. Fervent impartation of the Lord God Almighty. Prepare!

We start by coming to Him, humbling ourselves, turning from our wicked ways and repenting. We repent on behalf of ourselves and we repent on behalf of our nation! And we learn to abide in Him, to clothe ourselves with Christ and to press in, because we are the sons and daughters of the living King. The sons and daughters of the King! Take your inheritance, my friends! Press into it with all that you have, with all that you are! Get your Bible out and study it until He speaks to you through it. Get on your knees and pray until you feel the presence of God like you have never felt Him before! Why? He is raising up a people that are passionate and hungry for Him because that is what the world needs right now, people who are hungry and passionate for their God. Will you be among them?

Closing Prayer:
Father God, I lift up these intercessors to You right now. (I encourage you to raise your hand and receive from Him.) I lift these intercessors up to you right now, Lord God. I lift every person up to You right now who is reading this and I ask that You would impart a knowing within them. Impart within them an excitement, a joy, a passion for which You are about to release in this nation and in the Body of Christ! Begin taking them through the refining process, oh God! And as you do, impart into their lives the reality of who You are and a hunger for more of You!

Blessings & Love,
