Day1

Dear friends of the vision, when we came to Carson City nearly one week ago, we had very few contacts and truly wondered if we would have much support at our capital prayer meeting today. Early this morning high winds and cooler temperatures had invaded the valley. I was quite discouraged as I thought of one more cold and windy day at the capitol steps. Well, we were wonderfully blessed, the wind lessened its force and people from prayer groups, two key churches, and National Day of Prayer leader driving from Snoqualmie, Washington, came to help us pray. Three shofar blowers made a joyful sound, as we opened with the shout of the shofar, repented for the sins of the nation, and celebrated at the benediction with faith and confidence that God had heard us. Two of the shofar blowers drove 9 hours from Southern CA. There were several other people, including some home schoolers, and a group of ladies who could pray with great passion for America.

Nevada is a state that has great promise for the Kingdom of God. Like so many of our states, sin has a stronghold in gambling and other destructive habits that destroy the will of people. Pray for this historic state which was organized in 1861 under the presidency of James Buchanan, two days before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated on March 4th. On October 31, 1864, Nevada became the 36th state admitted to the Union. Votes from new states were needed to support Lincoln�s proposed 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in this country. Now, it is time for the freedom of the soul to sweep across the state that helped make freedom for others. We have placed coals of fire in this capital city. We were taken by one of the security to the top of the dome in the capitol building and joined hands in prayer over this vast valley for a great awakening! It is truly coming to pass even as we continue from state to state.

There are many ministries on the cutting edge of what the Holy Spirit is doing in these crucial days that are before us. I was so encouraged by the help of a volunteer lobbyist in the Senate and Assembly. A legislator came to our prayer time and allowed us to pray for her and bless her in her service for the great state of Nevada. The Holy Spirit wants to accomplish so much in all of our lives if we would trust Him to intervene in the affairs of humankind.
