by A Call to Prayer from Rick and Patricia Ridings
We believe that intercessors right now are called to an “epic battle” which is greater than the battle against the COVID-19 virus, and during which time a focus on only COVID-19 can even divert us. It is an epic battle for the “billion soul harvest” and for the shifting of nations into sheep nations while there is still time.
1. A Spiritual Battle for the Nations
This is a time to focus Numbers 23:23 on key frontline nations and their Cyrus-type leaders. We sense the Lord spotlighting Israel, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, India, the UK, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, the Sunni Arab nations, Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, and the USA. Proclaim over Israel, and over nations beginning or continuing to stand with Israel:
“There is no sorcery against Jacob, no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’” – Numbers 23:23
A few days ago I (Patricia) noticed 23:23 on my phone. I felt the Lord was trying to get my attention about something and I began to wonder: “what is the meaning of the number 23 and why did 23:23 seem to jump out at me?”
Later on, I was praying for someone who was going through an attack of the enemy, and I felt to proclaim over her, “there is no sorcery against Jacob, no divination against Israel”. When I looked it up and realized the reference was Numbers 23:23 I remembered seeing 23:23 on my phone!
This is what the Lord was trying to tell me, how urgent and relevant this scripture is for these days.
2. A Call to Fast
Because witchcraft is so involved in this battle, we call on intercessors to ask the Lord whether this is a season when their prayer warfare should be strengthened by fasting. We have already started an extended liquids-only fast and pray the Lord may show you whether He is calling you to a fast, and if so, what kind and length of fast.
3. Focus on the Exposure and Rooting Out of Systems of Evil
Please refer to a vision the Lord gave Rick of “systems of evil” being like spider webs, and evil rulers like spiders. We feel that the next few months are very key for the removal of many spider webs and spiders. Proclaim Job 8:11-15:
“Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water? While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass. Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. What they trust in is fragile; What they rely on is a spider’s web. They lean on the web, but it gives way; They cling to it, but it does not hold.” – Job 8:11-15
4. Restrain World War by Restraining Regional War in the Waters East and South of China
I (Rick) have already publicly stated several years ago that when it was time for a great harvest, Satan would seek to cut it off by a world war, even as he cut short the Azusa street worldwide Pentecostal harvest through World War 1 and the Spanish Flu plague.
Before the lockdown here in Israel, on March 23, I (Patricia) was praying together with an Israeli couple for the Israeli government. As we were praying I had a vision of a high wall that collapsed suddenly and broke into tiny pieces and I thought of Isaiah 30:12:
“This sin [of deceit] will become for you like a high wall that collapses suddenly, in an instant.” – Isaiah 30:12
Three days later we saw a headline: “Blue and White Party Collapses Suddenly”, using the same words as are used in Isaiah 30!
As we were rejoicing about this answered prayer, I heard the Lord say to pray that the wall of corruption would fall in China and to pray for the Chinese people to be delivered. Then we began hearing report after report of corruption being exposed and nations holding China accountable for their unfair trade practices, etc.
The Lord further confirmed this to me as I was reading Isaiah 26:20 – 27:1:
“Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course [this could indicate this season of lockdown]. For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover her slain [during this season the Lord is exposing corruption globally]. In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.” – Isaiah 26:20 – 27:1
We had been praying about the seas to the south and east of China and for China’s neighboring nations, so this was such an encouraging confirmation that during this time of the pandemic that came from China, the Lord wants to deal with the dragon spirit that has enslaved the people of China for so long!
Thank the Lord the dragon is fleeing! May all the Lord’s enemies flee before Him, the mighty One of Israel!
5. Restrain a World War by Restraining Regional War in the Middle East
In a recent vision, I (Rick) felt the Lord showed me that, at this point in the shakings, we are called to “restrain” that which Satan would try to bring forth ahead of the season in which it will be allowed by God.
6. Praise Is Key to Seeing Division Brought Upon the Enemies of God and His Purposes
I (Rick) felt last November that 2 Chronicles 20 would be a key passage for 2020. Today, on June 20th, 2020, I sense now is the time to release far greater praise, and to declare that God is arising and His enemies will be scattered. More specifically, we need to proclaim division between the spirit behind, and the people under, the domination of Sunni and Shia Islam; between the elite families in China who control the wealth and power; and between leaders of the “global elite” and “deep state”. (See 2 Chronicles 20:20-23.)
7. Also Very Key Is Worship on Earth as in Heaven
This means worship that is God-centered and proclaims His sovereignty, rather than focusing upon our own selves and our needs.
In the Book of Revelation, one sees a back and forth between scenes of shakings upon the earth and the worship in heaven. I (Patricia) recently had a vision of those who are trusting in the Lord worshipping Him in the eye of a storm. While the world around us is in the middle of great destruction and uncertainty we are safe in this place, worshipping the One who will never change.
This new era of shakings is a time we need to stand in the eye of the storm and worship His greatness and sovereignty. We are to war in this spiritual battle from a position of rest in worship as we proclaim His will from the third and highest heaven upon the earth.
This word is very timely and spot on. I’ll be personally contending in these areas as well as bringing my spiritual community which me. I’m with Him and you all until the end!
The Lord called me up to the high mountains. Is. 2 was the main one, but also Is. 40 reminding us who God is and how powerful are we in Him, with the Holy Spirit, and the living Word, Jesus.
I am also being called to Fast – haven’t received the full call for that yet – to know the kind of Fast He wants
Praise is something that is being the hardest hit – the powers and principalities fighting hard to prevent – fasting will help break through
Today was Jer:18:1-17 But also note the next verses say persecution arose for Jeremiah – expect more persecution on the leaders in the Body of Christ who are listening and obeying what the Spirit is saying at this time. Be strong! Be Courageous! For the Lord Your God is with you!.
I been led to fast till mid August , kind of Daniel fast. And take on midnight cry. So I am fasting. I pray in heavenly tongues from 11pm till after midnight. I believe the battle for me is against the Muslim spirit in Jerusalem and intercede especially for Jesus believers to multiply. I am praying for every soul in Israel to come to the Lord God Almighty in Yeshua’s name
A dream I had about a 2 weeks ago, I found myself in the Courts of the Temple there were many , many people their they were on their knees praying, the worship was the most awesome I have ever heard, I was told that I must tell the people that they must pray like they have never prayed before, and that soon Hashem will sort this out in our world
Hey there. Greetings from Germany.
I‘ve grown up with „fearfull“ prophetics.
You people here are the first to give me hope during this time where one can not stop crying about politics and the like.
Every new EMail I receive from you makes my heart jump in new hope. Even if this is a „call“. It is wonderful how you show how the father is working in the midst of these times.
Thank you very much!!!
The God of Israel has given to my wife and myself that soon Yeshua will be seen in the sky around The World. The Light will Come From His Hands and The Fathers Love Will Come From His Heart Habbakuk Chapter 3. He will ask Every Person on The Planet One Question? IN their own language. Who they Choose to Follow and Serve Yeshua Jesus or satan.?
The Holy Spirit has told us to tell The Saints to Pray
that the heart of mbv an would not be hardened in The Day of Visitation so Man can Receive Healing, Salvation, and Deliverance.
Nations are in the valley of decision at this time especially regarding Judea and Samaria, President Trumps peace deal, the annexation of 30% and a proposed Arab state in the remaining 70% of Judea and samaria, alignment as Sheep or Goat nations is happening now.! You Kings be Wise! Be disciplined. O Judges of the earth!
I shall join in the fast, at the beginning of the corona, YHVH showed me wickedness, witchcraft, occultist practices, sacrifices from places of authority, in order to accomplish the plans and the agenda of darkness.,on earth ahead of God’s timing. As we prayed and fasted, He said the agenda of darkness was defeated, but another wave was in the pipeline, more aggressive, more destructive and we needed to pray and destroy.?
I’m standing and agreeing with you
I stand and agree with you. May the Lord strengthen and supply all your needs. Physically and spiritually for His Glory amen.
In the name of Yeshua. May His Glory be revealed. And the eyes of all be opened. That your arms be strengthened and held up high . In the name of Yeshua.. As you Worship and spray in the Holy place. Knowing, His Glory is being revealed as you stand in the Holy Place. Revealing the unfailing Love of Yeshua..
In the name of Yeshua. May His Glory be revealed. And the eyes of all be opened. That your arms be strengthened and held up high . In the name of Yeshua.. As you Worship and spray in the Holy place. Knowing, His Glory is being revealed as you stand in the Holy Place.
Thank you for your incense of worship., And prayer..
I had been praying for a prayer strategy while I go to Finland via Germany on June 29, 2020. I felt this was an answer to my prayers. By the way, many times the Lord has given me a strategy through you. Thanks and God bless you mightily!
Sincerely,
Sirkku Chewning
So encouraging, thank you both.
