2022: The Year of EXPANSION
The A.R.I.S.E 10:10 Prayer movement was birthed out of a burden to see Roe v Wade overturned through life decrees daily during the month of October 2021. In this targeted mission, we were simultaneously preparing the way for life in our state of North Carolina with full confidence Roe V Wade would be overturned and the battle would soon return to the states. Three women joined me and set their face like flint to contend for life over our nation everyday at 10:10AM. Those remainder months of 2021 we would receive specific and strategic prayer assignments to follow throughout the year all the while God was doing something unique in each of us personally. You can expect to be transformed from within as you pray the Fathers heart ❤️
Bound4LIFE
In 2022, we were instructed to spearhead the Bound4LIFE North Carolina chapter, preparing the way to intercede for life in our state of North Carolina. We continued to target prayer for life, finding we were expanding in our prayer intel. We covered many of the seven mountains naturally as we flowed with Holy Spirit including marriages, family, government and our schools. Yet we always ensured we would cover each other in personal prayer as well. We had declared war in the spirit and knew covering each other was paramount. We forged bonds, walking out life together in that process. There was always at least TWO of us coming together in prayer when schedules, trials, travel, work, and seasons came and went. We endured much warfare but maintained our commitment to pray. Other women would join us as led and available, finding one on one prayer calls were beginning to organically evolve and allow us to cover more ground for the Kingdom of God. Prayer was becoming more targeted, strategic, personal, and edifying. Our callings and prayer assignments were becoming more clear and alignments were being divinely assigned into deeper relationships with one another. God was giving us prayer connection and friendship through the power of TWO agreeing with all of heaven.
There is Room in Your Womb
Then my burning book moment arrived. I remember looking at my front door window pane seeing the package. I had no idea the divine and delightful connection God would bring into my life through simple obedience. Without going into all the detail (that’s for a future blog post) I was blessed with the opportunity to co-labor with The Wall Movement in prayer, helping lead several successful prayer calls including national coverage. We managed to have one call with all 50 states represented before the June 2022 Supreme Court decision! Furthermore much of our 2022 decrees were formed from Danielle Helmer’s book, There is Room in Your Womb founder of The Wall Movement where we partnered in building the Promise Carriers group. God began to handpick and highlight women to me in stewarding Promise Carriers including Karina Philip based in New Jersey and women God moved upon through the Arise Women’s Summit hosted in Tennessee in June of 2022. Karina and I were aligned and assigned to collaborate in launching a summer book club by our own personal encounters through Danielle’s book. The love, friendship, unity and care for one another naturally forged fire between us. Looking back it was obvious we were shaking up heaven (and hell) as we persisted through the resistance that came each week to lead. Yet we persevered and prayed TWOgether each week before our zoom meet and we’re always refreshed. Our book club completed in August 2022 yet Karina and I both believed this group was special and not done! We agreed to meet monthly to connect on zoom and share how God was moving in our lives as well as continue to pray for one another. Even now, the miracles and testimonies from this time together as a group are already beginning to sprout forth with healings, destinies, even babies being birthed. We discovered following our book study that TWO connections were being orchestrated as we each were being led. God was just getting started with us and more movement was coming!
East Coast Regional Revival
To close 2022 several women from our book club and other personal connections came together in intercession for East Coast Regional Revival through a prophetic dream regarding Georgia and the mid term elections. We closed our time together contending for marriage with proposed antibiblical legislation passing through our House and Senate. We were resolved to stand for biblical marriage between one man and one woman as God ordained irregardless of the outcome, which looking back was fitting as our next prayer assignment was being revealed. December we were instructed to rest as well as pray into what our book club looked like for 2023. Resting in December hasn’t been natural for me but God has faithfully began to release the blueprints and strategy for 2023 with a convergence of many prayer circles and daughters who are committed to their first love, our Husband Jesus. The movement started with a seed – a God encounter on the side of a baseball field. With every step of obedience God has moved and is inviting you too into the storyline.
2021: THE INVITATION to intercede
Where it all began
It was mid afternoon Saturday October 2nd, 2021 during my son’s baseball practice I would receive a deposit in my spirit to birth what is now being called A.R.I.S.E 10:10 prayer movement. As I began to open and read the book, How To Experience Revival Journal by Charles Finney with eagerness and excitement, I was not prepared for what was to come. I was burning with expectation to dive into learning more about when to expect a revival yet soon became flooded with absolute conviction and the deep reality of the state of our nation because of the condition of the church. We are ripe for revival because we are backslidden, carnal and selfish. We are conformed by the patterns of this world and entangled in SIN, from sexual immorality, to sex trafficking, pornography and abortion. As I became more consumed in its pages the heaviness and reality of where we are as a nation grieved me. The weight of our sin brought me to my knees and the silence of being unable to speak pierced me. I sat for hours meditating on how far we as a nation have turned from God. We are a rebellious and stubborn generation. We have forgotten about our first love, Jesus Christ.
As the hours went by I grieved in the pit of my being. I laid prostrate before the Lord weeping, repenting, and pleading the blood of Jesus and the mercy of God. SAVE US! Before long the day was complete, the sun had set and the night had come. I continued to lay and even nap in the secret place burdened in my soul. The next morning I was moved in my spirit to do something. I knew this was an Esther moment. I felt drawn to look up Lou Engle (if you do not know about him, look up this spiritual giant). I came across a replay message given by Lou Engle during Bethel’s worship conference in 2017 called “Heaven Come.” As I listened my spirit was quickened. I began to pray and call on my tribe to intercede. It became very clear – “resurrect the Esther Mandate word given by Lou Engle – mobilize an army of women to petition the courts of heaven and pray for the ending of abortion.”
Over the course of several days, the Holy Spirit has been illuminating to me the significance of the date 10/10. I have discovered recently Charles Finney whom I was reading about was actually converted on this same date of 10/10 in the year 1821. The Lord was also impressing upon me of entering into a time of RESTORATION.
The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy LIFE, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
John 10:10
He continued, I have come to give LIFE. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. I am the giver of LIFE. Decree forth LIFE and call forth others to come into agreement for the ending of abortion in the United States of America.
The Original 10:10 Prayer Movement Mandate
Adopt the decree released through the original Esther mandate. “Jesus I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God end abortion. Send revival to America.” Specifically decree forth North Carolina as First in Freedom for the ending of abortion. Decree forth LIFE. Begin to mobilize the saints to decree forth LIFE each day at 10:10am together on call. Officially launch this mobilization for others to join beginning Sunday 10/10-21.
