An Apostolic/Kingdom Day Of Prayer

April 30, 2009

2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people (The Ekklesia) who are called by My name (Yahweh) will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (Yahweh’s response to Solomon’s prayer)

Now, I realize that this prayer has been recited, prayed and wrongly used and applied in times past; but I hope to bring some clarity to what it is actually saying. Before I do let me say that this is what Yahweh said in response to Solomon’s prayer, and in response to the prayer of Solomon and the people of Israel.

2 Chronicles 6:12-42 Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands 13(for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven); 14and he said:

The Prayer of Solomon:

“Yahweh Elohim of Israel, there is no Elohim in heaven or on earth like You, (There is no Elohim in heaven or earth like, or besides you) who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. (This is the Key) 15You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.(Yahweh will perform His Word and His Will through the hands of faithful men and women) 16Therefore, Yahweh Elohim of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk in My law as you have walked before Me.’ 17And now, O Yahweh Elohim of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David.18“But will Elohim indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. (Yahweh is bigger than man’s government and construction) How much less this temple which I have built! (This was an acknowledgment concerning how small and insignificant are the works of our hands)19Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Yahweh my Elohim, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You: 20that Your eyes may be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your name, (Yahshua said, ”I will build My house and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it”) (We are the house and the standard of His name and righteousness in the land) that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place. 21And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive. (Prayer of Repentance) 22“If anyone sins against his neighbor, and is forced to take an oath, and comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this temple, 23then hear from heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, bringing retribution on the wicked by bringing his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.24“Or if Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and return and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication before You in this temple, 25then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to them and their fathers.26“When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them, 27then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.28“When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; 29whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows his own burden and his own grief, and spreads out his hands to this temple: 30then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, (This is an important part of this prayer) whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men), 31that they may fear You, to walk in Your ways as long as they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.32“Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a far country for the sake of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray in this temple; 33then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name. 34“When Your people go out to battle against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to You toward this city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name, 35then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.36“When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to a land far or near; 37yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness’; 38and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been carried captive, and pray toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and toward the temple which I have built for Your name: 39then hear from heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You. 40Now, my Elohim, I pray, let Your eyes be open and let Your ears be attentive to the prayer made in this place. 41“Now therefore, arise, O Yahweh Elohim, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Let Your priests, O Yahweh Elohim, be clothed with salvation, and let Your saints rejoice in goodness.42“O Yahweh Elohim, do not turn away the face of Your Anointed; remember the mercies of Your servant David.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people (The Ekklesia) who are called by My name (Yahweh) will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (Remember this as you pray today)

Isaiah 26:1-3 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; (In the day of His salvation we will say we have a strong city Yahweh will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. )(That day is today if you can hear it) 2Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. (cities, the regions & the nation will be able to enter in to His rest) 3You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

Isaiah 26:4-8 Trust in Yahweh forever, for in Yahweh, the Sovereign, is everlasting strength. (When we enter His rest and function and operate from a position of peace, we are a strong and mighty nation of people) 5For He brings down those who dwell on high, the lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust.

I pull down the strongholds of greed and corruption in this city, region & nation. I cast down every false reasoning and demonic strategy that corrupts and thwarts the will and purpose of Yahweh for this city, region & nation. In Yahshua’s name, I call for the downfall and removal of every political despot in this country, from the elected commander and chief to the lowest intern on Capitol Hill. I, also come against and call for the exposure and removal of every false leader in every area of service in government, and ask Yahweh to be merciful and forgive all of us for not representing His heart in the way serve and govern. I declare, Today is the day, and this day will be marked in history, as a day when Yahweh cleaned house.

I also call for and demand that false prophets, hireling pastors and corrupt religious leaders be uncovered, exposed and removed from the pulpits of this land, and that the scourge of lying debauchery is dealt with in a way that can only be attributed to the hand of Yahweh. I repent for whatever I have said or done now or in the past that contributed to the destruction of Yahweh’s people, and I ask forgiveness for any part that I may have had in the demise and downfall of this nation. Today is the day, this is the hour, and now we will turn in our hearts and see the salvation of Yahweh in our lives, cities, and regions.

Today if you can hear it, a clarion call has gone out for national prayer and repentance. I charge you to rise up and take your place. Do not treat this day with disrespect or contempt.

Heaven and the earth are being shaken right now. You can run; but you cannot hide! There is no denying that we are in a very different time and season in the nation. Heavens and earth are shaking; but those who have dug deep and built their house on The Rock of revelation, will be sustained in this hour, and will find help in a time of need. Lean and depend upon the voice of Holy Spirit to lead, guide and direct you in this hour. Trust and rely on Yahweh and the person of Holy Spirit to help you navigate through these troubled times. He that has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the Ekklesia. This is the dawning a new era and a sound has gone forth like a roar. Can you hear the voice within the sound, and the word within the voice? 6The foot shall tread it down the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.” the way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. 8Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O Yahweh, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name and for the remembrance of You. (Yahweh, we remember you and we proclaim you name in all the earth)

Isaiah 26:9 With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Yahweh’s judgment is in the earth and the inhabitants of the world will learn the way of righteousness) (Yahweh, I declare it, decree it, and call it done)

Isaiah 26:10-16 Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, And will not behold the majesty of Yahweh. (Let the wicked be graciously removed from this planet, or be consumed by fire of Yahweh. We ask you to cleanse and purify the earth by the fire of Your presence)(Let the wind of the Spirit blow away the chaff, and let the harvest of wheat fall into the garner)(Let the rain of the Spirit fall on this dry and thirsty land once again and fill the earth with the knowledge of your Glory) 11Yahweh, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed for their envy of people; yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. (Get ready, the fire is going to devour our enemies)(They are going to be consumed by the fire of Yahweh, or destroyed by their own fire)(Mark it down and count on it)(If you do not repent and turn in your heart today, the fire of this prayer and word of the Spirit will begin to burn through the fields and your life and your landscape will change this week)

12Yahweh, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us. 13O Yahweh our Elohim, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name. 14They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.(Your enemy has been destroyed and it is time for any remaining residue to be removed and purged from your memory) (Be delivered Yahshua’s name)(Lazarus come forth, you have been made free)15You have increased the nation, O Yahweh, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.16Yahweh, in trouble they have visited You, they poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them. (Today, if you can hear it, is the day that we will begin a new era of prayer and fasting. We will not continue to call upon His name because His chastening is upon us. Instead, we will remember to pray, trust and call upon the name of Yahweh everyday and for the rest of our lives)(This could be our last chance to hear and obey His voice and our life does depend on it)

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
