I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgivingbe made for everyone--for kings and all those in authority, that we may livepeaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good andpleases God our Savior who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledgeof the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, theman Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony givenin its proper time (1 Timothy 2:1-6).

Prayer:  We exalt you, Lord. Thank you for the privilege of corporate worship in America.  As many worship you with different voices onthe Sabbath, may our praise rise like a symphony.  Bless this corporate agreement so that youare truly seen and believed upon in this nation (Rev. 4; Matt. 18:19).

It may appear like business as usual right now, but I believe we are at the beginning of the supernatural generation that will experience the greatest demonstration of power ever witnessed in history. It looked like business as usual during Moses' fortieth year in the wilderness tending sheep. I'll bet Moses never dreamed that he was about to operate in the power of God in a way that would cripple an empire.   -Mike Bickle
