Washington State Prayer Targets January 2023

Sex Ed Protest 2019

By Tim Taylor, January 10,2023 -  We've begun a new year and entered a new legislative session in our state.  Let us rise to the challenge to pray and obey to see our Father's will done, on earth, as it is in heaven. 

Here's what our Washington State apostolic and prophetic council focused on this month.  Isaiah 60 seems to be unfolding as dark gets darker, but there is a remnant rising whose light is shinning brighter and brighter as we prepare the way of the LORD.  It reminds me of Hebrews 10:36, "For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls."

At the end of this article, you'll find a prophetic song that I think is a beautiful decree for us to proclaim about the Bride of Christ coming out of the Northwest.  See below. 

Church Sphere 
Observation – The need for the restoration of David’s tabernacle (24/7 prayer, praise, and worship) interacting and working with leaders from the 7 spheres of society has never been greater.  

​Let us pray and proclaim

• There is a remnant Church that is alive and aggressively attacking the gates of hell with no fear even as they build our Father's house of prayer for all nations. (Joshua 1:6-9, Matthew 16:18, 1 John 4:18, and Isaiah 56:7).
• They are snatching those drawn towards hell's gate out of the fire, hating even the garments stained by sin while positioning leaders in the 7 spheres of society to disciple cities, counties, states, and nations. (Ephesians 3:10, Revelation 17:9, Matthew 28:19, Proverbs 32:23, and Matthew 25:32)
• The Church is becoming the embodiment of Ephesians 3:10 and showing forth the manifold wisdom of God to principalities and powers in heavenly places who manifest through earthly offices.  The Ecclesia’s (Church's) leaders, elders, ministers, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastor and teachers are demonstrating courage and not compromising the truth equipping the saints in the religious, business, government, media, education, healthcare and the family mountains to be bold and very courageous to speak the truth (even in the face of cancel culture, the LGBTQ and Marxist agenda) the gospel of the kingdom, and to demonstrate it through casting out demons, healing the sick, and preaching to the poor. (Mark 16:15-18, Matthew 4:17).

Family Sphere

---

Observation: The family unit as God designed is under attack from virtually every sector.
 
Please pray for families

• Against depression as so many are caught in cold and dreary weather.
• For peace as parents are trying to keep up with homework, extracurricular activities, and faith-based activities
• For parents to maintain time for their relationship together
• Emotional healing for the children, as well as parents
• Super natural Physical health for the entire family
• Discernment for parents as they keep watch over their children (friends, activities, phones, screen time, how to school, etc)
• That grandparents move according to God’s plan for their involvement in the family

Government Sphere
Observation - Election integrity is a huge issue. Corruption is still rampant and known within both parties, yet accepted.   Let us pray that corruption is rooted out of our elections and truth and justice are once again honored.  Let us pray and proclaim:

• Fearless moral people awake to stand up to evil and corruption in our electoral system at every level and return to in-person voting using hand-counted ballots.  (Ephesians 6:13).
• People are rising to engage in local politics and no longer sit in passivity and ignorance.  
• Corrupt judges with a Marxist, socialist, godless worldview are replaced by those who will do justly and speak truthfully.  
• A new legislative session in Olympia has begun.  Besides prayer, here are some ways to stay engaged and informed.
  • There are over 800 openings in 2023 for school board directors.  Pray and also ask God if it would please Him for you to run for that office. 
  • Silence is no longer an option. 
  • Have patience and play the long game. 
  • Don't back down.  Confront evil and voice your opinion to your representatives even as you pray for them.  
• Watch for the governor to seek to codify abortion through SJR 8202.
• Watch for attempts to expand assisted suicide through SB 5179. 
• One of our members, Dave, put together an excellent list of resources and training. Click here to download your pdf copy.

Business Sphere
Observation - Fear and government's interference with this sphere continues to cause inflation and economic hardship.   Let us pray, proclaim and declare:

• God's people, business people, would prosper.  That this only increases cash sales and profitability for our businesses. 
• That Dave Hodsgon's message of "that all shall prosper" would permeate society's understanding and our state.
• God's people would remember to worship God with their giving (tithes/offerings) and that trust in God's faithful covenant keeping word would override their fear of lack.  Pray they'd be like Isaac who sowed in the year of famine and reaped a hundred-fold (Gen 26:12). 
• That the judgment of God would usher in unprecedented prosperity to those who took righteous stands.
• That the righteous would prepare for a wealth transfer.  
• We are thankful for the exposure of businesses like Balenciaga (promoted pedophilia) who represent those who operate in the Babylonian system and declare their business fail and its resources acquired by those who'll do what is right with a kingdom mindset.  
• We declare blessing and prosperity over every one of our business people (people who are in covenant with the local Church who also proclaims this decree.)

Education Sphere
Observation:  Our education system is under demonic attack.   Let us pray and proclaim:

• The principality at work through the Education System, Beelzebub, the lord of flies and lies, would be cast down and truth would return. 
• There are teachers called to serve in the public education system who’ll be like a prophet declaring truth, holding a standard of righteousness and restoring appropriate boundaries and stewardship. 
• Teachers would be bold and pray in the Holy Spirit and anoint their buildings and classrooms inviting God's presence.
• That ministers and pastors would equip members who are teachers with the truth and pray with and for them and their respective classes and schools.  
• That parents would engage with teachers, school boards and even run for offices, serve on committees or volunteer. 

Healthcare Sphere
Observation.  Socialist thought has invaded our healthcare system and greed permeates much of the pharmacuetical industry.  Let us pray and proclaim:

• Lord Jesus deliver us from greed & lies from pharmaceutical companies.  (Revelation 18:23)
• May abortion cease to be called "healthcare" and may its practice end in Washington. 
• Colossians 1:13 "He delivered us from the domain of darkness & transferred us to the kingdom of the Son of God."
• Matthew 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom & all these things will be added to you." 
• That Christian families would believe they now live & walk in the kingdom of God. Seeking Jesus & the Holy Spirit's direction for healing, health & wholeness first before consulting the medical system. Knowing that the medical system has long since been under the domain of darkness.
• Pray salvation over medical & nursing schools for the new generation
  • Answers to prayer - *Just recently made connections with a key office assistant to a Aberdeen's" CEO of our local hospital, to begin giving our women's prayer group prayer requests & concerns to lift up to the Lord.
  • The Elma hospital's CEO had asked that we be praying for our county commissioners regarding their ability to work together & make decisions before he shared his hospital's building plans with them  Within 2 weeks the answer was in our local paper, of the commisssioner's overwhelming support for this hospital to proceed with their plans. 

Media Sphere​
Observation:  Censorship by tech oligarchs working in collusion with some government agencies is on the rise.  Many Christian's are having their videos, messages or posts censored.  
 ​
Let us pray and proclaim:

• 2000 Mules reaches every eye and ear God intended this work to reach and that their conscience would require a righteous response as lawmakers and citizens awake to the corruption in our electoral process. 
• We are thankful for Elon Musk's action at Twitter to release communication between the DNC and their company who conspired to censor free speech.  We pray for justice to be rendered to those who broke the law and for those whose rights were trampled to have them restored.  
• God's people will increase in discernment regarding the truth.  Declare wisdom and discernment is rising.  Conviction is returning.  The ability to discern between truth and lies grows.​
• We are thankful for The Chosen and pray it impact this state powerfully.

Let us Pray, Proclaim & Sing - A Prophetic song from 1999
​"The Bride of the Northwest"

Your groom is calling, Your Groom is calling, I am calling for you
The Bride of the NW, I am calling to you.
The Bride of the NW with the islands in the sea.
With the tribes & the nations within,
I am calling x2, I am calling to you!

The Arctic, Alaska, Canada & Washington,
Oregon, Montana, Nevada & California
I am calling x2, I am calling for you!

To draw near to My side,
By My shed Blood for you,
Draw to Me!
Do you hear me calling,
Your Bridegroom is calling,
You are Mine!
Let the Spirit & the Bride say come. x4

( I have sung this song as it is here for the last 23 years.  In the prophetic it has not changed but always been the same words.  Within the last 4 months as I restarted singing this song, I began to get words of the Bride singing back to her bridegroom.)

We hear you calling
We hear you calling, O precious Savior
We await You as our groom,
*So we come to Your side, To find help in time of need,
We come to Your side, In the blood of the Lamb
To worship You, To give You glory & honor,
To praise Your Name on High!
Let us hear You & obey.
You are Mine & we are Yours.
*Now the Spirit & the Bride say come x2
Now the Spirit & the Bride say come to You today.

(When I originally received this song the Lord Jesus, as the Bridegroom was beginning through the voice of the Spirit to call to His Bride (the church in the NW)to acknowledge Him, to hear His calling heart, & draw near in intimacy,prayer, intercession, in worship, praise, adoration,sanctification & etc.Jesus has a specific calling & destiny for the region of the NW to serve Him. I'm sure this has been a process through the decades of time. There has been a slow increase in the church beginning more & more to hear the call of the Lord Jesus in this region. For the Bride beginning to respond & sing in this song I see that a turning is happening in the heavens here in the region of the NW in this day. More of the church is increasingly waking up to the call of her Bridegroom. She will continue to arise in all the fullness in Christ until the end of the age culminating at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!)  

To Him Be the GLORY!
