Dear Mighty Warriors:
 
After purchasing property in Lilburn in 2001, the BAPS Hindu Temple will open with ceremonies beginning on Thursday, August 16 and concluding on Sunday, August 26, with the dedication. After the first of September the facility will be open to the public. . This temple is one of the largest temples outside of India and is built to be a regional training location for North America. (Located at the intersection of Hwy 29 and Rockbridge Road) It is attracting a great deal of attention through national and internation media, and will bring in thousands of guests from around the world.
 
A few of us went and walked along the sidewalk in front of the temple recently, and I was deeply struck with the grief and deep, deep groaning of the earth crying out of the revelation of the sons of God (Romans 8:18-20) who will intervene for the redemption of the earth to the purposes of God (Genesis 1:28-31). The Lord is looking for those who will answer the call to respond to the cries of desperation - the cries for redemption, recovery, and release.
 
While there has been much intercession made over this "high place" being built in this northeast region of Metro-Atlanta, the invitation of the Lord has been issued for us to rise up and come together . . .
  • to advance the Kingdom of God by declaring His peace, righteousness, justice, and mercy over the region
  • to break the demonic powers from influencing and infiltrating our communities (Romans 16:20, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5),
  • to fully recover what the enemy has stolen, defiled, or perverted in this region (Gen 14:16; I Sam 30:18; Luke 4:18)
  • to declare a release of captives from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of our God and His marvelous light in the mighty name of Jesus!(Isaiah 42:6-8; 61:1-3; Psalm 102:12-22)
  • to restore true worship in the community of Lilburn, across the state of Georgia and across the nation -- and nations of the world.
We are calling for two evenings of Targeted Strategic Worship, Intercession, and Decrees over the opening of this center with the first being on the evening prior to their first day of celebrations, and the second on the evening of their final day of celebration and dedication.
 
Wednesday, August 15 (Plus, Community Transformation Prayer every Wednesday morning from 10:00 am - 12 Noon)
 7:30 PM
A Worship, Intercession & Proclamation Gathering to release a Canopy of Praise to the Most High God over our community during all the dedication proceedings, a Shield of Faith to extinguish the fiery darts of the enemy over our region, and the Sword of the Lord to disrupt and destroy the schemes and intentions of the enemy to establish a stronghold - or beachhead - during the days of dedication of the temple and its gods..
 
Sunday Evening, August 26
6:00 PM
A Gathering to release high praise & worship to the Lord God Almighty to exalt the Lord in His rightful place as King of kings and Lord of lords over this region; a time to ask for the nations as our inheritance and to ask the Lord of the harvest for laborers to go into the harvest fields; and to declare the advancing of the Kingdom of God in these days to push back the gates of hell with signs, wonders, and miracles.
 
Location for Both Gatherings: City Harvest Worship Center, 750 Indian Trail Road, Lilburn
 
We will hold of these services in Lilburn so as to be directly in the communityof the temple to advance against the enemy's camp. We are not praying against people, but going forth as ambassadors of the Prince of Peace to release His Kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven" by declaring and decreeing the revealed word of the Lord.
 
OTHER WAYS TO JOIN IN THIS EFFORT:
  1. Incorporate intentional intercession over this situation into your personal prayer time daily
  2. Ask the Lord what He would have you prophesy over the temple and this region, then simply His instructtion to speak His Word as a peace warrior (feel free to submit prophetic words to us for judging of accuracy and tining, if you wish - send to ktm_gapn@yahoo.com)
  3. Intercede and make declarations over the land as you drive by ("drive-by prayers and drive-by prophecies")
  4. Sow the atmosphere over our city and sate with songs of praise & worship and declarations of faith wherever you are
  5. Join your faith with a few others to pray together (in person or over the phone) on a regular basis, if possible, during these days of celebration and dedication of the Hindu Temple to thwart the enemy's plans.
  6. Incorporate this issue into your corporate prayer meetings in your church and/or community with intentionality and faith that is secure.
May God bless each Mighty Wwarrior who answers this call -- for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom -- on earth, as it is in heaven!
 
The following passage has been released as an encouragement and direction for these days. Please read, meditate and join us in declaring this over our state:
 
Ezekiel 36:1-10
"Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
2 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The enemy said of you, "Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession." '
3 Therefore prophesy and say, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because they ravaged and hounded you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people's malicious talk and slander,
4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD : This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns that have been plundered and ridiculed by the rest of the nations around you-
5 this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.'
6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.
7 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.
8 " 'But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.
9 I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown,
10 and I will multiply the number of people upon you, even the whole house of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
 
For His Glory,

In trying times it is important that we align - or realign - our words (both spoken and written), our thoughts, and our beliefs to line up with the Word of God. When things gets tough we must guard our hearts from agreeing with anything that is contrary to what God has spoken in His Word and prophetically. This article provides some solid Biblical truths to help us align with God during trying times.
The Lord is rekindling an awakening of the Spirit of Intercession in the Body through the telling of the old, old stories of His displaying the love, mercy, grace and power of Christ throughout the ages. We have entered into a season to "recover" all that has been lost, stolen, or left behind in our families, communities and nations. It is time for a fresh fire to burn within the people of God today with a passionate desperation for the promises of the Lord to come forth in power. Read, rehearse, pray, and share the stories of old believing that our God will yet do it again in our day.
The Lord began to speak about His weaving of a tapestry in these days that will reveal the Glory of the Lord as we come together from various streams in humility to seek His face and do His will. The tapestry He is weaving is glorious. . .
