Dear Intercessors,

After some time of seeking the Lord for continued direction and focus for the United States Reformation Prayer Network (USRPN) as we enter the New Year, I was contacted by Vicki Nohrden, the USRPN Apostolic Prayer Coordinator for the State of California. Vicki shared that she has been given by the Lord a national prayer strategy for the USRPN. We have built upon what Vicki shared with us to develop what is now the Root 52 National Prayer Strategy. This prayer strategy is simple, and yet, could be a highly effective strategy to implement as a united front for our nation. 

I strongly believe that this strategy has been given to counter attack what the enemy is trying to do in dividing the nation, the church, the family, etc.  

The first two weeks will be a special concerted time of prayer and fasting for the governmental leadership of the nation and then we will go state by state from week to week in the order that they joined the Union.  By the end of the year, we will see all 50 states have a covenant root established or deepened as we build a highway of prayer across the nation from state to state.

Part of the strategy is to make proclamations from the Preambles of State constitutions.  Let us also pray over and make decrees from the Preamble to the United States Constitution and the United States Constitution itself.  We also need to "declare" from the Declaration of Independence and pledge our nation to be "one nation under God".

As all of us have watched the deterioration of our nation concerning biblical rights being stripped from our society, it should be a matter for alarm and a wake-up call to pray for the nation more than we have ever done in the past.

I have heard two distinct prophetic words for 2010-they are "Win in 2010" and "Arise and Shine America".  We have lost a number of skirmishes concerning the nation in 2009 but we are going to win in 2010!  Our decree should be that America will be that city set on a hill that the reformers who came to our shores dreamed we would be.  We must not back down one inch or give any ground-rather, let us draw a line in the sand and say to the enemy with a loud decree--Your time of advancement is over!

Let us stand together in a greater measure than we have ever done in the past-shoulder to shoulder in the battle for this nation until we see the Great Awakening and Reformation back to biblical worldview that we have all dreamed would happen in our generation.
