"The Battle for Dirksen"

"If the trumpet blows an indistinct sound, will the people know what to do?"

The critical times that we are now living in compel us to mobilize the masses and to strike into the most strategic places for kingdom advancement. We believe that this e-mail is a very crucial message for the Body of Christ to throw massive intercession towards decisively winning the "Battle for Dirksen."  Our young prayer activists are currently pouring themselves into this battle -- many are standing 24/7 in front of the Supreme Court facing the capital in intercession for the outcome of this battle.

Recently, one of our young prayer activists had a dream. The essence of the dream was that the Church was fighting in the Civil War and there was one battle that we needed to focus our attention towards, and the battle was called "The Battle for Dirksen."

We immediately knew that this was a significant dream. For only a few months earlier, we gathered a thousand people together to pray and worship in the Dirksen building in Washington, D.C. -- the very place that the Senate Judiciary Committee meets to vote on judges.

"He Broke the Longest-Running Filibuster in History"

Because of the significance of the judicial committee, we knew that this was a critical prayer target that the Lord was revealing to us. But even more astonishing was that in our research, we discovered that Senator Dirksen, whom the Senate Dirksen building is named after, was the key senator who pushed through the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 with amazing ability, cunning skill, and moral persuasion by breaking the longest-running filibuster in history. An explosion of faith went off in our hearts! We knew that God was saying that, "You are in another battle, similar to the battle that Senator Dirksen fought. You must break the filibuster in prayer."

Amazingly, the Lord confirmed His word to us when a pastor's wife in Tennessee, who knew absolutely nothing about our activist's dream and newfound assignment, told us a dream that she had.! In the dream, a group of people was in a place known as Deacon's Ridge. These people were completely uninterested and bored with their surroundings. As they were sitting there, the pastor's wife came to where they were and said something like, "You're not supposed to be sitting in Deacon's Ridge. The battle is at Dirksen's Court!" As the group moved towards Dirksen's Court, the zeal of the Lord came upon the group.

God was trying to tell us something! To add weight, it was significant that the dream was received in Tennessee, the state whose U.S. Senator, Bill Frist, is leading the charge to break the impasse created by the filibuster and confirm President Bush's judicial nominees. We must pray for the Senators who are championing this cause.

This battle to break the filibuster is important not just for the righteous judicial nominees that President Bush is trying to install at the appellate court level, but it is strategically vital for the impending showdown ! over the future vacant seats of the Supreme Court. Let me explain.

Shifting the Supreme Court of America

A young intercessor friend of mine recently had a dream where Sandra Cano, the Doe of Doe v. Bolton, the 1973 companion case of Roe v. Wade, came to her and our House of Prayer and pleaded, "Would you stand with me in prayer and fasting for the day when my case comes before the Supreme Court?" At that time, no one was thinking, let alone praying, for Sandra Cano's case because Norma McCorvey, the Roe of Roe v. Wade, had her case before the Supreme Court at the time the young woman had the dream and much of the Church had been mobilized to pray for McCorvey and her case.

Sandra Cano's case is expected to come up before the Supreme Court in a year and a half to two years time. Thus, if the filibuster is broken now, it gives George W. Bush the time and ability to shift the unrighteous composition of the current Supreme Court and set it up for the day ! when Sandra Cano's case appears before the Court and the law that legalized abortion could be reversed. Could it be that the Lord is setting up this battle to break the filibuster in order to shift the Supreme Court of America and end the scourge of abortion and sexual immorality that has polluted our land? I believe He is.

We are calling thousands to give themselves wholeheartedly to prayer and to fasting in this next week when the showdown to break the filibuster is to take place. We must win this battle to have righteous judges appointed in this nation and turn it back to God.


Unrelenting Prayer and Fasting for Reformation and Revival

Right now, my company of young intercessors and prophets are on a fast for 21 days and going day and night, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, in intercession and worship to pray for our government with the specific focus of breaking the filibuster.

We are in an intensive and sustained battle position against the forces that attempt to destroy the nation. We must hold this line and not just for the ending of the filibuster. God is calling the Church for a Daniel-type commitment to stand in unrelenting prayer and fasting for reformation and revival. I believe that God is releasing an entire generation of Daniels and Danielles who will contend against the demonic strongholds for deliverance and the in-break of heaven. Allow me to tell you one of their stories:

For the past two years leading up to the 2004 election, one of my spiritual sons was led by the Lord to go on a Daniel-type fast, eating no meats and no sweets, to see abortion! ended in America and righteous leaders put into office. After the election in 2004 of George W. Bush, who is clearly a pro-life President, the young man asked the Lord for permission to end the fast. On the second day after the election, the young man awoke and felt released to pray, "Lord, unless you give me a sign that I am to continue my Daniel fast, I will end this fast at midnight tonight."

Throughout the day, the young man repeated his heart to the Lord. Around 10pm, he went to the library of his secular college to meet a friend to study. As he walked into one of the study rooms at the library, he noticed a young man that he did not recognize sitting next to his friend that he was planning to study with. My friend introduced himself to the stranger. The young man replied, "Hello. My name is Daniel Fast." If God gives you that kind of confirmation, you know He means business. He intends to end abortion.

Brothers and sisters, we strongly feel that this battle to break the filibuster is critical to the turning of our nation back to God. Would you join with me in prayer and in fasting to see this thing crushed and destroyed?

Have you got your LIFE band yet?  If not, talk to me, email me or something.  vko001@student.ucr.edu.

So if you do have a life band, there are some things we need to pray for. 

The GOP may lose one senator becasue he felt some republican senators were not ethical in their practices during the elections.  The consequences of such are:  We will lose two GOP seats which means losing the super majority. 

Pray that there would be reformation in the practices of the GOP.  God is neither repub or democr.  So... Justic and Righteousness must come through.  From that, righteous jusices will rise up, hear our God's judgement and bring it forth into the natural. 

We're in it for the long-hull!!!  Again, don't get discouraged during this time.  We're all in it together, and this LIFE movement needs the entire church. 

Vision: (Not from me by the way)  LIFE all across America, not just DC.  LIFE in small, medium, big, mega, and whatever else towns is what He desires.

But hey, don't listen to me, friends, pastors, or even Lou.  Listen to God.  You get your revelation from God.  What does He want?  Seek His face.  Only in His face can one receive the grace, mercy, and authority to pray forth justice and righteousness. 

It's not too complicated.  Seek Him hard Nazirites, know Him in the secret place, and start to see your life and world transformed. 

And if God makes it clear to you that you're to pray hard, fast hard, and live strong for Him, right on, let's talk and pray together! 

Just some things for you Saints out there to pray about and keep in mind. 

We must press forward in the air battle.  He has trained our hands for war, and our fingers for battle.  The natural does no phase the faithful.  Let us stand in Faith, or we do not stand at all. (Isaiah 7:7) 

Our president must rule with the council of our Father.  We declare it that these next four years will be different.  The source of all righteousness and jusice does not root out of one man, but one Creator.  Celebration is not of the mans, rather that of The Just Ruler. 

Could it be that there arises a generation, nameless, faceless, but not faithless willing to set aside their agendas, their desires for a chance to enter into the heavenly courts with the Father to call the shots. 

777  What does that mean to you?  Isaiah 7:7, Psalm 79, Revelations 4. 

7 Red strips on the American Flag

7 Fold reproach on the enemy and his destruction of life in our land

7 Spirits of God.

Who knows what's going on?  But we're being rocked. 

I had the honor of spending 3 days with the Cause team in DC.  There we spend night and day pouring out everything we had for righteousness and justice to be restore to our land.  Our generation has been the most massacred generation in histoy, and much like the exodus generation, Pharoah has yet to let us go.  43 million since 1973.  Pursued by violence, suicide, depression, and death there still stands a Nazarite army, totally given to the cause of seeing Him.  Young radical Elijahs, Elisahs, Johns, Esthers, Deborahs, and .... standing in front of the highest court in America, crying out for justice is what this army is about.  Physically silent and oppressed; spiritually entering into the highest court of our land, and passed onto them the mantle of righteous and justified authority.

to be continued... i'm tired.
