A New Esther Moment
This week we have been invited to join a nationwide time of prayer and fasting for our children and for our nation. This event has been called a last stand for America. In scripture we see Abraham asking for mercy toward the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses interceding for the children of Israel in the desert, and Daniel repenting on behalf of Israel while in captivity. (Gen 18, Ex 32-33, Dan 9) What was the result? The righteous were removed from Sodom and Gomorrah before destruction, the children of Israel saw the glory of the Lord and received the promised land, and the exiles were given their freedom and the temple was rebuilt. There is great power in prayer!
A Million Women isn’t just a good idea, instead it is a reflection of revelation given to many intercessors across America. In Lou Engle’s words, “Welcome to the American crisis! Welcome to a new Esther Moment! The Lord is summoning A Million Women, Esther’s young and old, with their husbands and children, to descend upon the Washington D.C. Mall this Saturday, October 12, the actual Day of Atonement, in a LAST STAND moment for America. There, Esther will PRAY, FAST, and cry out for her children, for death has climbed through our windows (Jeremiah 9:21). There, she will find healing and deliverance in the presence of worship. There, she will apply the blood of Jesus to the doorpost of our personal and national guilt, and declare the victory of the Cross over witchcraft and the powers of darkness. There, she will take her STAND and inject herself into the public battle for the revival and reformation of America.”
“There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuum created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history: the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.” (From “Give Him 15, October 7, 2024)
Come and join the Gate DC family this Saturday as we will be joining intercessors from around the nation on the National Mall to swing wide the heavenly gate so the King of Glory can come in! The location is at 7th St, between Madison and Jefferson Drives starting at 9am and continuing until 6pm. Please bring water, snacks (if not fasting) and a chair or blanket for your own seating. Come and be an agent of change. Be a history maker. Release the sound of the coming King!
