“Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”
Matthew 6:10
A 35 Day Prayer Initiative will begin on Sunday, October 28 through December 1st, 2007. The Light the Highway prayer initiative is to release His light, His truth, His righteousness, His justice, His kingdom across our highways, preparing the way of the Lord!
In preparation for the prayer initiative Saturday, October 27th between 5 & 6 pm on we will be building
altars of worship to the Lord, releasing
It is most important that we have an attitude of humility and the reverential, worshipful “fear of the Lord.”
Therefore, On Saturday October 27, between the hours of 5 and 6 pm,
we will join brothers and sisters across
The Focus: This will be for the purpose of releasing Indiana’s own unique sound, the Voice of Righteousness, a Kingdom of God sound declaring “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” It is an invitation for the Lord of Heaven to come and have His will accomplished in our lives and families, town and county, and our state and nation.
The Method: We come before Him with thanksgiving and repentance, and worship Him; we will take stones of remembrance and build an altar. Some will be using an actual altar as a remembrance of this consecration time. If you do this consider using three stones used foundationally, in a triangle, for an altar, then a fourth to crown the three.
1. A stone of Repentance,
2. A stone of Reconciliation,
3. A stone of Righteousness,
4. A final 'crown' of Praise and Worship.
The ancient altars of scripture all faced East. Try to make yours do this as well. To move into worship use Scriptures such as Psalm 149, and songs such as ”Holy, Holy, Holy", or songs that can be reminiscent of the songs of Revelation.
The Desire: He calls the place “
· Psalms 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
There is a crisis mounting up in our land. We must cry out to the Lord, we have failed in our stewardship, in our ambassadorship, and in our executorship. When there is no remedy, He is our remedy. (Ps.29:1)
· James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
· Psalms 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
· Psalms 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
· Psalms 10:17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
· 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
· Hebrews 1:8 & 9: “But about the Son, he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness, therefore God, your God has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
His righteous scepter then releases deliverance and healing, but also releases judgment and justice!
· Psalms 103: 20-22 CJB “Bless Adonai, you angels of his, you mighty warriors who obey his word, who carry out his orders! Bless Adonai, all his troops; who serve him and do what he wants! Bless Adonai, all his works in every place where he rules! Bless Adonai, my soul!”
This will then, release His righteous rule in our state and into the nation!
A proclamation of repentance, this is the attitude the Lord is looking for in His people.
A
Proclamation written by the church leaders of
Let it be
known, on October 20, 2007, the people of
Let it be published throughout the land that every person humble themselves, calling urgently upon God. Let them give up their evil ways, their violence and thefts. We have invited the world to commit adultery, while we promised our silence. We have replaced conviction with compromise; comfort and convenience in place of the counsel of God.
So this day we turn our hearts back to God. We choose blessings instead of curses, so our children may live and love the Lord. We shall listen to His voice, hold fast to Him and keep His commands in the Book of the Law.
Hear from Heaven and forgive our sins. Have mercy and compassion upon our city. Lift up the needy, wounded and homeless. Deliver those bound with addiction and set free the captives of prostitution. Answer us, O God. Shake the very ground beneath us for You are sovereign. Let every being revere the Lord Almighty.
We are making a binding agreement in writing, signed by our leaders, pastors, priests, parents and youth.
35 Days of Prayer
October 28 - December 1, 2007
a segment of ‘Light
the Highway’ http://www.lightthehighway.org/en/index.php/Main_Page
Light
the Highway is a worldwide movement to bring reformation to cities, regions and
entire nations as thousands of believers commit themselves to personal and
corporate holiness along their “highway”.
Scriptures to declare over our roads and highways are: Isaiah 35:8-10, Isaiah 62:10 and Isaiah 57:14 – “Keep building! Keep building! Clear the way! Remove everything blocking my people’s path!” “As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: ‘A voice of one calling in the desert, PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE STRAIGHT PATHS FOR HIM. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. AND ALL MANKIND WILL SEE GOD’S SALVATION.” Luke 3:4-6 NIV
This prayer initiative is done together with the prayer and organizational efforts of the Indiana Apostolic Prayer Network under the auspices of Apostle Sallye Burton together with the Indiana Apostolic Prayer Network local representatives. From Sallye Burton of the IN Apostolic Prayer Network:
1. Repent for sins committed, and of highways being ways to transport sin and promote filth and all uncleanness. Ask the Lord to cleanse the highways.
2. Declare our highways "Highways of Holiness" declaring Isaiah 35 and especially vss. 8-10....
Isaiah 35:8-10 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall
be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall
be for others: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion
shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it, it shall not be found
there; but the redeemed shall walk there: And the ransomed of the LORD shall
return, and come to
3. Declare they are highways of life, living water, of purity, joy, righteousness and peace, of safety – breaking all curses off them and declaring no accidents, no death, hell or destruction.
4. Declare our highways a way for prodigals to return home; cry out for the next generation and declare NO MORE ABORTIONS, NO MORE CHILDREN KILLED BY ABUSE OR ABANDONMENT; NO MORE DEATH TO DESTINY. Cry out for God to raise up Godly houses of refuge for children.
