The United States of America is the only country that has ever been founded on the premise that the citizen is sovereign. The USA is based on the timeless idea that all men are created equal, and that we are endowed with God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  The United States’ Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights guarantee that freedom for its citizens based on the responsibility of that citizen to live morally and ethically according to a specific set of Judeo-Christian behavioral guidelines. And these are precisely the primary reasons the USA is under attack, and from both foreign and domestic enemies.

 

 

 

“Many of the foundations God laid through His sons and daughters in the USA have been eroded. Disobedience began to infiltrate God’s children, and as it grew, the spiritual foundations were compromised. This gave the enemy a legal right to claim more territory. However, God still has a remnant who are standing for Him. You and others He has called are representing Him and His interest at this time. It is a critical hour. Many things will be shaken that are not built upon God. His kingdom will never be shaken. Make God your priority and you too will never be shaken. Hebrews 12:27 states: ‘This means that the things will be shaken so that only the unshakable things will be left.’

 

‘And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.’”  —Isaiah 61:4  [Source]

 

 

 

Understand the necessity of moral government

 

 

 

Christians Can Change World Events

The Ekklesia has altered the course of history and governments by emphasizing Biblical methods of prayer and fasting. It has been documented that even recent history has been shaped through prayer. Examples include the Second World War in North Africa, the birth of the state of Israel, the end of the Stalin Era, the independence of Kenya, East Africa, and the presidential election of 2016, USA. Regarding the latter, be encouraged to enjoy just a few of the prophecies dating as far back as April 4, 2007 here (first 59-minutes) and here. Uncomfortable with prophecy? Understand more about the New Testament spiritual gift of prophecy 101 here.

 

We the people, today, are also implementing change even in local, state, and national governments.

 

 

 

We, the people, proclaim a National Day of Fasting, Prayer, and Humility on Friday, September 4, 2026. The same has been the case monthly since November 4, 2009.

 

 

 

Ekklesia Prayer of Protection, Exposure, and Righteous Governance

King of Heaven, YeHoVaH of Hosts,

You who sit enthroned above every earthly government,

We gather as Your Ekklesia — not as spectators, but as those called to legislate in prayer according to Your will.

You declared that the government rests upon the shoulders of the Messiah, and that Heaven’s rule is to be manifested on earth.

Therefore, we stand in delegated authority under the Authority of Yeshua/Jesus.

Father, we place President Donald J. Trump before Your throne of mercy and justice.

We decree:

√ Protection over his life.

√ Protection over his mind.

√ Protection over his physical body.

√ Protection over his household and bloodline.

We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.

Every plot conceived in darkness shall be exposed by light.

Every assignment of violence, slander, manipulation, or unlawful strategy is nullified in the authority of Y'shua/Jesus.

We extend this same protection over his authentic, legitimate team and their families.

Let angelic hosts surround them.

Let confusion enter the camps of those who plan harm.

Let fear fall upon those who plot unrighteous schemes.

Y'shua/Jesus, our Righteous Judge of all the earth, we address the powers of darkness that seek influence through satanism, witchcraft, corruption, coercion, and hidden alliances within federal systems.

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood — but against principalities, powers, and [unseen] spiritual wickedness in high places.

From within the Name of Y'shua/Jesus:

√ We break the influence of occult manipulation over government decisions.

√ We nullify rituals, spoken curses, and hidden agreements made in secret.

√ We sever ungodly spiritual covenants influencing national leadership.

Let the fire of Heaven expose what has been concealed.

Let hidden corruption be uncovered without hindrance.

Let repentance come where hearts are reachable — and removal come where hearts are hardened.

YeHoVaH of the Hosts of the Kingdom of Heaven, You see those who enrich themselves at the expense of the people.

We decree:

√ Ill-gotten gain shall not stand.

√ Corruption shall not remain hidden.

√ Unjust alliances shall unravel.

√ Complete victory over the muslim brotherhood.

√ All wolves in sheep's clothing are plainly exposed and brought to Your authentic justice, post haste.

√ Specific comfort & care for President Donald J. Trump's heart when the wolves are exposed and how close they were to him.

√ YeHoVaH's perfect timing, perfect ammunition, and perfect target for President Donald J. Trump to deliver the death to tyranny, the new world order, the one world government, the one world currency, all unrepentant, wicked associates, underlings, and opposition to the authentic liberty Y'shua/Jesus Messiah - paid for in full with His complete blood sacrifice.

We declare that legislators who have prospered through deception, bribery, chicanery or exploitation shall face accountability.

Let righteousness invade both houses of the legislature.

Let integrity replace manipulation.

Let servant-leadership rise where self-service has ruled.

Let righteousness and authentic justice invade the Judges and Judicial sytem et al, including but not limited to The U.S. Supreme Court and its membership.

Our King - Our Father in Heaven,

You established boundaries and nations. You are the Author of lawful order.

We decree the protection of citizens' right to choose their representatives free from corruption.

We declare:

√ Exposure of voting fraud.

√ Removal of unlawful interference.

√ Safeguarding of lawful ballots.

√ Integrity in voter registration.

√ Clarity in counting.

√ Transparency in process.

Let only lawful citizens be heard in lawful ways.

Let systems be purified.

Let confusion be removed.

Let justice stand at the gates again.

We do not pray from fear.

We pray from governmental authority.

We align with Heaven’s decree:

Righteousness exalts a nation.

Let truth rise.

Let corruption fall.

Let justice prevail.

Let the Kingdom of Heaven be manifested in governance.

We bind corruption.

We loose righteousness.

We bind deception.

We loose truth.

We bind violence.

We loose peace.

Your will be done in the United States of America as it is in Heaven.

From within the magnificent Name of Y'shua/Jesus Messiah,

Amen.

 

Concise History Lessons and Prayer Points for Today

Our world is on fire. Syria has fallen apart from genocide. Russia has seized Ukrainian land at gunpoint. And China is flexing its muscles. The diabolical lust for power of dictators and oppressors are replete in humankind’s history. Yet, since World War II, something happened that secured authentic relative peace and world-wide economic expansion for decades. What was it? Hint: It was not about the exemplary lust for power, oppression, terror, or money. It did however, include morality. In less than 6-minutes, NATO's former Secretary General and Denmark's former Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen provides a concise history lesson and prayer points for us today.

 

 

 

By the President of the United States of America.

A Proclamation.

 

Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation.

 

And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.

 

And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment, inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole People? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!

 

It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency [mercy] and forgiveness.

 

Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer. And I do hereby request all the People to abstain, on that day, from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several places of public worship and their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.

 

All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace.

 

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

 

Done at the City of Washington, this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty seventh.

 

By the President: Abraham Lincoln

William H. Seward, Secretary of State.”

 

 

 

The above proclamation is preserved in the Li­brary of Congress as Appendix number 19 in volume 12 of the United States At Large. It was initiated by a resolution of the United States Senate, and was officially declared by President Lincoln on March 30, 1863.

“The [above proclamation] message of the United States Senate, officially declared by President Lincoln contains two related themes that may challenge our careful consideration.

 

First, the proclamation acknowledges the unique blessings enjoyed by the United States but suggests that these blessings have fostered an attitude of pride and self-sufficiency that is the root cause of a grave national crisis. Some of the phrases could apply with equal force to the condition of the nation today: “We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.... We have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.... We have become too self-sufficient ... too proud to pray to the God that made us!”

 

Second, the proclamation unequivocally acknowledges “the overruling power of God” in the affairs of men and nations. It indicates that behind the political, economic, and military forces of history, there are divine spiritual laws at work; and that by acknowledging and submitting to these laws, a nation may change its destiny, averting threatened disaster and regaining true peace and prosperity. In particular, the proclamation sets forth one specific, practical way in which a nation may invoke on its own behalf “the overruling power of God”—by united prayer and fasting.

 

The author of this proclamation, Abraham Lincoln, is generally regarded, both by Americans and by the world at large, as one of the shrewdest and most enlightened of American presidents. He was a man of sincere faith and deep convictions, but he never sought membership in any of the Christian denominations of his day. In no sense could he be considered as unbalanced or extreme in his religious views. Further, this proclamation was not merely the product of Lincoln's private convictions. It was requested by a resolution of the entire United States Senate.

 

How shall we assess the deep and unanimous convictions of men of this caliber? Shall we dismiss them as irrelevant or out‑of‑date? To do this would be merely the mark of unreasoning prejudice.

 

Rather, we owe it to ourselves to give honest and careful consideration to this proclamation and the issues that it raises.

 

Is there a divine Power that overrules the destinies of nations? Can this Power effectively be petitioned by prayer and fasting?

 

It is to the examination of these questions that this [book] is devoted. An answer will be offered from four main sources: first, the teaching of Scripture; second, events of world history during or after World War II; third, the annals of American history; fourth, records of personal experience in the realm of prayer and fasting.”

Why is it important that we, as citizens in this Republic, get involved and remain involved in making and protecting public policy?

America is the only country that has ever been founded on the premise that the citizen is sovereign. As such, we are obligated to rule and govern ourselves, under God. We need to fulfill this obligation by exercising our sovereignty in a responsible way, starting with prayer.

Why the Left and Right Clash Over National Identity

 

 

 

“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for He wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.” 

—1 Timothy 2:1-6

 

 

This event of A National Day of Fasting, Prayer, and Humility, or this website, is not an outreach of Derek Prince Ministries, and is not associated with the same. We have simply found this book to be a powerful and effective tool!

 

 

May God bless you in this endeavor to know Him through Jesus the Christ (Y’shua Messiah) more and more and more, and to know the power of His love. Be of good cheer, be not afraid; He has overcome the world!
