Dr. Michael Brown (www.askdrbrown.org) is the host of the nationally syndicated "Line of Fire" radio program. In a perceptive article on WND.com mainly referring to last month’s US election, he writes, “By all counts, 2016 was a year of great shaking, perhaps of divine proportions.” He goes on to say that “much of the shaking is the result of the Lord responding to the prayers of His people, who for many years have been asking Him to rock our world (not destroy our world) and wake us up.” He then poses the question, “Could a spiritual movement like this happen again in our day?” His five valuable keys to moving from shaking to awakening that are quoted in full below are important to consider prayerfully:
- “To the extent prayer played a role in the shaking of 2016, it must be maintained and even increased. Many Christians prayed fervently in the months leading up to the elections, recognizing how terribly broken our nation was and how desperately we needed divine intervention. But human nature being what it is, once we get past the feeling of crisis, we take our foot off the gas. Now is not the time to let up. To the contrary, we must redouble our prayer focus if we want to see real, lasting change.”
- “We must put our hope in the Lord, not Donald Trump. Let’s say that Mr. Trump turns out to be a phenomenal president, appointing terrific Supreme Court justices, effectively fighting terrorism, strengthening our economy (especially in the inner cities), securing our borders and creating compassionate solutions for worthy immigrants, replacing Obamacare with a much better plan, restoring respect for America abroad – and even more. Even if he managed to do all this, which would be more than remarkable, he would not in any way usurp the role of the church, nor could he. He could not turn the hearts of rebels and mockers; he could not restore a spirit of prayer to the church; he could not break the hold of sexual bondages; he could not unite broken families – and on and on the list goes. So, while we pray for our president to succeed in his mission, we put our trust in the Lord, not him, for spiritual awakening.”
- “We must give ourselves to the Great Commission and to changing hearts and minds, especially among young people. Change will not come to America from the top down. It must rise from the grass roots up, and the most effective “weapon” we have, along with prayer, is the gospel. With the Lord’s help, we must make Jesus known to a generation that does not know Him, and we must demonstrate to the world that God’s ways are best – ways of life and harmony and peace.”
- “If, in fact, we have been given a divine respite, a reprieve of sorts, we must maximize this opportunity with holy desperation. If we don’t, things could get worse than ever, and in a hurry at that. Along with many other leaders, I do believe that we have been spared what could have been a disastrous Hillary Clinton presidency, in particular when it comes to issues of great concern to the church (especially abortion, religious liberty and the meaning of marriage). But if that is true, then what we do with this respite is of critical importance. Will we redeem the time and maximize the moment, not only on the political and social fronts but on the spiritual and relational fronts as well? Will we seize hold of our liberties and make a real difference? I dread to think of what’s ahead of us if we don’t.
- “We must not underestimate the depth of division in our country. The task is massive, and only with the help of the Holy Spirit will we see positive, lasting change. Even if we’re right about God giving us a respite with the Trump election, we cannot forget how divisive he has been as a candidate (and even president-elect) and how these elections have revealed the deep rifts that stand between us, in particular along the lines of sex, race, skin color, age and religion. And while we understand that there will always be deep divisions in a nation of 330 million people, we also understand that as followers of Jesus, we have been given the message of reconciliation, both vertically and horizontally, and it is through a great spiritual awakening that these deep divides can be bridged.”

Let us continue to pray towards a Great Awakening for the USA and for the nations of our world in 2017. May this be a year of great breakthroughs for the Body of Christ worldwide!
An HOLY CONVOCATION to Welcome THE KING of GLORY into our Nation and BEYOND…
Dear ones, 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call facilitators, and all our brothers and sisters in Christ who will joyfully Welcome THE KING of GLORY into our nation!
The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call team has been focused for the past 30 days on transitioning from darkness to LIGHT. We believe that the LIGHT has now OVERCOME the darkness and we have reached a point where we cannot and will not turn back! These past few weeks following our Presidential Election have been quite a “learning curve” for all of us, as we joined together on this call, submitted ourselves to the Holy Spirit’s guidance in our intercession, and operated in mutual submission to Him and to one another. We are moving forward together, for these next 40 of the 70 days, rejoicing and praising God for the USA Trumpet Call to a HOLY CONVOCATION to Welcome the King of Glory into our nation! The list of those affirming and endorsing what God is doing through this initiative is growing every day. We welcome all who want to participate in the 24/7 Call, or come to join us in DC and/or endorse this “labor of love” for our nation!
As we press into completing the “70 Days of Prayer”, the first assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Conference Call, we find ourselves living, moving and having our being IN the LIGHT as HE IS IN THE LIGHT. We are together experiencing what it is to be empowered by the Holy Spirit, so that we might embrace all that our Heavenly Father has for us, through His beloved Son, our Lord, Savior and KING, Jesus Christ!
We are praying with increasing grace and gratitude toward the January 20th Inauguration / installation of Donald Trump as our 45th President. Our hope for our nation is being renewed while our pounding hearts are rejoicing that we will not only be installing a new temporal leader, but welcoming, greeting and reestablishing our National Covenant with our LORD and KING, our BRIDEGROOM, Jesus! We are watching, waiting and praying…in joyful expectation…as we move toward that most GLORIOUS DAY!
We invite you to journey with us to Washington, DC, to be part of this HOLY CONVOCATION, from January 16th -20th. It will be an historic gathering of great consequence spiritually. We will convene daily, to worship and take communion together each morning and evening, will be fasting and praying in concert, and going out to intercede at various sites in our Capitol to erect HOLY ALTARS to the Lord where dark altars have stood. Let the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of our GOD! These “70 Days of Prayer” leading to the Inauguration and the Holy Convocation are preparation for us to Welcome the King of Glory into our Nation. On January 20th, we will joyously proclaim Jesus as our Lord and King, declaring His Victory of Love over the hearts of the people of our nation and affirming His Sovereign Governance over the United States of America.
And there is MORE…following that January 20th “Day of VICTORY”, those who can remain in DC for an extra day are invited to join us for a special Shabbat “AFTERGLOW” (from 6 PM Friday, January 20th until 6 PM Saturday, January 21st).
- We will come together and enter SHABBAT on Friday evening at 6 PM, as we share a meal and express our gratitude for what God has done…and what He has allowed to take place.
- Then, on Saturday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, we will gather in a “Malachi Moment”, to “debrief” and envision the future together, as we transition to the next assignment… covering the “First 100 Days” of our new Administration and enforcing the gains that have been made, the ground that has been taken, and assure that the intercession continues on behalf of what God is purposing, planning and preparing for our nation as we go forward into 2017.
- At 6 PM Saturday, we will be released to return to our individual states…to the new assignment for this next phase of our 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call…and BEYOND!
***** We strongly urge you to remain with us for this critical time of discernment
and vision casting for what is to come in 2017! ALLELUIA! *****

RE: TRAVEL / ACCOMMODATIONS
If you feel that the Holy Spirit is leading you to attend this HOLY CONVOCATION in DC, please pray and seek the Lord for your provision to do so. Each of us is responsible for making our own arrangements. We are unable to coordinate rooming and transportation. Many are staying with friends or ministry partners; some are sharing hotel rooms. Please be sure you have a place to stay and funds to get around the city (Uber is best)…ie. to David’s Tent and to any assignments you might accept. ($$$ for food is optional, as many of us are fasting, but please be sure to have your provision so that your needs are met in advance of coming).Thank you!

“On January 3 through the 14th, the Kalachakra Puja, a very spiritually and physically charged gathering being lead by the XIV Dalai Lama of Tibet will be held in Bodh Gaya, India the site believed to be where the Buddha is supposed to have achieved enlightenment. , http://www.dnaindia.com/…/report-dalai-lama-presides-over-2…
Here's my perspective on the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism from a Christian perspective including one lesson on the Maitreya Project, the Buddhist Messiah being built at Bodh Gaya. Check it out on youtube:https://youtu.be/GuFwXkALQbA…
For more information you can check out worldviews101.com and search through the site. Whenever the Kalachakra is performed by over 100,000 shamans, lamas, etc., there is always some war that seems to get fueled. This is occurring right before the Presidential Inauguration and right after the UN Resolution condemning Israel. Remember, the Kalachakra ceremony is all about raising up a Shambhala Army for the prophesied Buddhist war against the followers of the evil snake religions of Mohammad, Abraham, Jesus, Mani, etc.
http://www.worldviews101.com/?cat=13. If you use the search function on our site and type in Kalachakra it will bring up everything related to the Kalachakra Ceremony. The Ceremony being held there will follow basically the same pattern it follows everywhere.”

Let us pray for God’s overthrow of this Kalachakra Puja, a ceremony of invoking demons by the Dalai Lama and others associated with him. Pray that he and other Tibetan Buddhist lamas and those coming under this influence can be set free from spiritual darkness and come to know Jesus Christ. Pray that all demonic spirits being supplicated will be bound and unable to do the harm to our world they and these lamas and shamans purpose
In the Messianic Jewish community that I’m part of, we define ourselves as Jews who are at the same time loyal to Yeshua as Messiah and Lord, and loyal to the Jewish community with its values and traditions. This can be a balancing act at times, but it also unlocks a prophetic vision for the restoration of all Israel, not just individual Jewish people, through Messiah Yeshua. This restoration, in turn, is to be the source of blessing for all of humanity. “For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?” (Rom. 11:15).
This vision was rekindled in the late 60s and early 70s as many Jewish people got swept up in the Jesus movement of those days. Today’s Messianic Jewish community was pioneered at that time and on through the 80s, but in North America it’s been in a less dynamic mode in recent years. In contrast with our early days, we are missing:
- Unabashed enthusiasm for Yeshua and his rule present and future.
- Active moving of the Spirit of God among us.
- Simple and powerful reliance on Scripture.
- Constant concern for Jews who need Messiah and how to reach them.
I request prayer for our community to be renewed on these four vital points. We also need prayer for:
- Spiritual awakening among the Jewish communities of North America, including (and probably starting with) our existing Messianic Jewish community.
- Our community to have a new level of influence and impact in the wider Jewish community, with boldness and wisdom in sharing the good news of Messiah, and many Jewish people of all ages responding.
- Renewing our founding vision in terms that younger Jewish people can understand and find compelling, and which remain true to Scripture.
- The growth of a thriving prayer network within our community.

“Ethnic cleansing is taking place in war-torn South Sudan, the country's UN human rights commission has warned.
It says it has observed starvation, the burning of villages and rape being used as weapons of war across the country.
The three-member commission, which was established earlier this year, has just completed a 10-day visit to South Sudan, which has been blighted by conflict for more than three years.
President Salva Kiir has denied that ethnic cleansing is taking place.
In a statement released on Thursday, the commission says "the stage is being set for a repeat of what happened in Rwanda" in 1994 - a reference to the killing of 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus, in the space of three months.
Yasmin Sooka, the chair of the commission, said that everywhere the team went in South Sudan, it "heard villagers saying they are ready to shed blood to get their land back".
South Sudan's civil war has caused more than 2.2 million people to flee their homes. It began in 2013, two years after South Sudan became independent, when President Salva Kiir sacked his cabinet and accused Vice-President Riek Machar of instigating a failed coup.
Government and rebels agreed to attend peace talks in 2014, and a deal was signed a year later.
Mr Machar eventually returned from exile to be reinstated as first vice-president of a new unity government under Mr Kiir in April 2016.
However he was again sacked months later after renewed conflict.”

Please pray with our Sudanese brothers and sisters in Christ for an end to his conflict and for His peace and restoration to return to this troubled land. Pray that Satan, the ultimate genocidal killer, is bound and that tribal leaders will become peacemakers that can agree on a way forward that will avert the danger of genocide, bringing healing and blessing to both tribes.

A still image taken from a video obtained by Reuters shows the damage inside a police station in the Midan neighbourhood of Damascus, after Syrian state television said a young girl of about nine years of age blew herself up on December 16, 2016. REUTERS TV via REUTERS
Disturbing video shows Jihadi parents encouraging and prepping two young girls just before they left the house, One girl would become a suicide bomber inside Syria's capital city police department, except officials say someone blew her up from the outside.
The two girls seven and nine were disturbingly groomed by a man in a video just before the bombing took place in Damascus.
A woman in a burka is also seen in the video hugging and kissing the girls.
The seven year old girl is thought to be the one killed in the bombing at police station on December 16th.
It is reported that the little girl was carrying a belt that was detonated from afar,' the paper posted on its Facebook page.
The blast in Damascus, the Syrian capital, wounded three police officers.
Daily Mail reports that the video released has been confirmed by Syrian journalists to be depicting Jihadist husband and wife alongside their two little girls seven and nine years of age. They also linked one of the youngsters to the explosion on Friday inside a police station in Damascus that injured three police officers and claimed the life of the one little girl…
Daily Mail copy / TRUNEWS summary.
Already many Muslims are coming to see the demonic nature of radical Islam and turning to Jesus Christ as they witness such horrors as this personally or hear about it in the news. Let’s pray that today’s children and youth will be set free from this horrendous deception and vicious ideology. May we see an immense harvest of millions upon millions being delivered out of Islam and coming to vibrant faith in Jesus! God will use our prayers in that process.
Multiple confidential sources inside of a powerful jihadist group within the United States have informed the Christian Action Network and the Clarion Project that members have been told to arm themselves in anticipation of raids by the Trump Administration.
The Pakistan-based spiritual leader of Muslims of America (MOA), Sheikh Gilani, told top MOA officials (known as "khalifas") to order all unarmed members to obtain firearms, licenses and hunting permits in order to resist raids on the group's approximately 22 compounds that they expect to happen under the Trump Administration. Additional "security" was also called up and assault rifles have been mentioned as desirable.
The group now expects the FBI "to reopen its cases against them as a homegrown terrorist organization," one of the confidential sources told Martin Mawyer of the Christian Action Network and Ryan Mauro of the Clarion Project.
The sources independently stated that members across the country were told of instructions from Sheikh Gilani to "be prepared to fight." The message reportedly relayed to members was to "hear and obey," using language identical to the oath of allegiance members sign when they join the group. He predicted, "You will be tested."

Pray too for a wall of spiritual protection over the US Presidential Inauguration and over Donald Trump and his administration due to all the hate and division that the current election produced. Pray for the vigilance of the authorities and the effective elimination of the terrorist threat in the USA, Europe and other parts of the world where ISIS and other such groups are operating.
The first 100 Days of the presidency of a newly elected POTUS is critical for setting the platform and for garnering the success of the administration from the start. This year the first 100 days begins on Inauguration Day, January 20th, and runs through April 29th, 2017.
As we look back in the history of the nation, the idea of this time period and setting of administrative priorities stemmed from the first hundred days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency.
It is critical that we stand together As One for the new administration as it takes power in January. President Trump has an aggressive 100 Day policy. If we do not lift our voice in prayer for this president and his policies, then we will not have a right to complain about what happens during this time frame. Not only that, but we are commanded to intercede first for those in authority over us that we can lead a quiet and peaceable life. (I Timothy 2:1-3).
In that light, a coalition of prayer ministries have banded together to write a prayer guide to cover the first 100 days as part of the As One initiative www.prayasone.org. This is the second major collaboration we have endeavored as national prayer networks. The first involved two separate 40 day periods of prayer walking our cities and neighborhoods that resulted in thousands of people putting feet to their prayers across the America.
Pray100 has a Facebook page as well as Twitter account #pray100. We encourage you to use both of them to request that others join in and post your own prayers for the nation.

Please pray that President-elect Donald Trump and his Vice-President-elect Mike Pence will seek the Lord for His wisdom and guidance for the very challenging assignment they have been given as the new leaders of the USA.
