Chuck Pierce, Establish Daily Anointing!
- Offer a daily sacrifice. Read Number 28:24 – 29:26; Luke 11:1-4; Hebrews 10:11. Daily, there is something in us that we need to bring to Him. We are not legalistically bound by that, but the principle of connecting with Him is the same: we must connect with Him daily.
- Daily, extend love. Read Deut. 4:1-40; Ephesians 5. God is love. His love was meant to be extended daily to those we are in close relationship with, as well as those around us. How will you extend love some way on a daily basis? Once you start finding a way to release love, you’ll see your life begin to change.
- Call upon Him, daily. Read Psalm 88. In the midst of your comings and goings, there is some way that you remember Him and cry out for Him to come. This is how His name manifests in us.
- Wisdom-watching daily. Read Proverbs 8. Too often we lean on our own understanding. But if you ask for wisdom He will give you wisdom. The Word of God also says you have to watch for it coming to your gate. So it’s not just asking for wisdom. Rather, watch so you can open the gate for wisdom to come in.
- Ask for daily bread. Read Matthew 6. The Lord is going to bring the Body into a new way of praying, to unlock the next level of provision that we need. Asking for our daily bread involves a dimension of reviewing and presenting our needs daily.
- Submit yourself to authority daily. Read Luke 7. There’s a daily subjection to authority that we must understand and operate in. We need to watch and see how we are standing and how we are aligning ourselves. We should pray for authorities, daily. This will always give you a proper alignment in your life.
- There’s something in your life you have to die to daily. Read 1 Cor. 15:30-34. We can’t come into resurrection without death, and that’s why Paul said, “Daily, I have to die.” We must be aware of what it is that we’re trying to keep alive, daily, that God is trying to kill.
- Praise daily! Read Acts 2:47. For seven days we have praised. Praise opens the way for the LORD to add something to us. Praise is the pathway to unlock multiplication. Continue to praise to see daily addition end up in multiplication.
- Discern, daily. Read Hebrews 5:12-14. We must discern the spiritual forces operating around us. We discern two ways: by the Word and by the Spirit of God. The daily sacrifice where the word is becoming a cycle in your life creates a daily unlocking of spiritual discernment, and that’s where reality comes. You don’t enter into reality just by knowing the Word; you have to discern by the Spirit. Spirit and truth together produce reality.
- Seek first the Kingdom, daily. Read Mt 6:33; 1 John 2:3. We must develop an understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven. Every kingdom has a culture, communication system, and governing structure. We must learn to walk in God’s culture, communicate from a heavenly perspective, and embrace the dynamics of His Kingdom.

Reformation of Government, David Kubal, Intercessors for America
Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you return to the LORD with all your heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your hearts to the LORD and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines (1 Samuel 7:3; NASB).
God did an amazing thing when He birthed this nation. He put in the heart of our Founding Fathers the desire to form a nation based upon the realization that it is God who makes laws-man only legislates them. God is the one who gives rights to individuals, and those rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And all of this is discoverable because it is God-and Nature’s God-who makes these aspects recognizable to all.
At the same time, our Founding Fathers perfectly understood that man is flawed and that power is intoxicating. Their experience with the Throne of England and its abuses was fresh in their minds and caused them to structure the new government based upon Scripture (Isaiah 33:22) to create a bicameral Congress with two branches as well as the three branches of the federal government: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. The Legislative branch creates laws, the Executive branch executes the laws, and the Judicial branch enforces the laws. The separation of powers, with the proper balance, is critical to a government led by fallen man. This mix of theology and practicality has produced the longest standing constitution in the history of mankind.
And yet, over the past few decades, we have seen much overreach of power as branches of our government attempt to meddle in areas they shouldn’t. However, there is an alternative–an approach called originalism. The late Justice Antonin Scalia described originalism in this way: “The Constitution that I interpret and apply is not living but dead, or as I prefer to call it, enduring. It means today not what current society, much less the court, thinks it ought to mean, but what it meant when it was adopted.” Simply put, our Constitution should be interpreted as our Founding Fathers viewed the issues, not to be reinterpreted according to the whims of the prevailing culture.
The way Evangelical Christians interpret the Bible is very similar. Seminarians are taught not to take Scriptures out of context, but to discern what the author intended to communicate and what the original audience understood the message to be. This is absolutely critical; otherwise any culture or speaker with charisma could twist the Word of God to their own meaning.
If we believe that the birth of this nation was a miracle, if we believe that our Constitution is the most Christian document of its kind in the history of mankind, if we believe that our Constitution correctly understands God’s blueprint for government while correctly weighing the sinful nature of man, then I would argue that we should pray that our government would be reformed to our Creator’s intent.
To take it a step further, many of our Founding Fathers were raised during the greatest revival in our nation’s history, The First Great Awakening, when they formed their biblical worldviews. Revival preceded the miracle of our nation. Prayer preceded this revival. We must pray for the reformation of our government.
Trump Journey! Pray! With Prayer Points by Sandra Teplinsky, Prayer Storm
From Lamplighter, Jon & Jolene Hamill
Like other Israeli intercessors, I am deeply concerned about Trump’s visit and negotiations which follow. We sense demonic traps being laid for him, Netanyahu and Rivlin. We are not afraid; instead, we are gearing up for spiritual battle. God has delivered us time and again over thousands of years. But we are alerting you and asking you to join us in prayer. History belongs to the intercessors! Here are some ways you can stand with us as watchmen and women on the wall:
- First, gear up. Re-consecrate yourself to the Lord, clothed in spiritual armor, and empowered and covered by the blood of Yeshua and His angel armies.
- Enemy forces are setting traps for Netanyahu in any upcoming peace talks with Trump and Abbas. We suggest the following Scriptures be prayed into the matter: Psalm 9:13-15, 35:4-9, 57:6, 119:110, 124:1-8, 140:4-11, 142:1-7; Isaiah 8:10; Proverbs 21:30-31.
- Pray for grace for both Trump and Netanyahu (and Abbas) to surrender themselves fully to God who appointed them to their posts. Pray they will seek out His Word as the final, authoritative guide in any negotiations. Ask God to give them dreams in the night of heavenly strategies. All three leaders are currently experiencing some chastening in their respective nations. Therefore pray for grace to humble themselves before God, so He might lift them up.
- President Trump has surrounded himself with an array of advisors pertaining to Israel. Some present credentials that look good, but they consciously or unconsciously speak the plans of the enemy. Pray that ungodly advisors be silenced or removed from their sphere of influence. Ask God to put in place those advisors who will speak according to His will. Pray He surrounds them with favor and amplifies their voices. Ask for continual grace to keep Trump and his team from getting sucked into what has been called the “Palestinian vortex” of deception and distortion.
- Pray for God to expose schemes of darkness to Netanyahu — and for him to rightly discern them. Such schemes include hostile reactions by America and other nations toward Israel if peace talks break down.
- Keep your eyes and heart on God’s vision for the Middle East, which even now is gradually becoming reality: “In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria…The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” (Isaiah 19:23-25) Pray for revival among Israelis and Palestinians.
- Ask God to awaken and mobilize the intercessory watchmen in America concerning Trump’s engagement with the Jewish state. Pray the President does not fall into any trap designed to cause him, indirectly or inadvertently, to harm Israel. “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” (Genesis 12:3
