Root 52 Prayer Initiative
By Cindy Jacobs, USRPN

Root 52

Dear Intercessors of Georgia,

Mike & Cindy Jacobs of the United States Reformation Prayer Network have asked each of the states to join them in a national prayer initiative for 2010.  They are calling this initiative "ROOT 52″ because it is a 52-week prayer strategy to bring the nation back to it's covenant roots.  A torch of prayer and fasting will go "en-route" from state-to-state in the sequence that they joined the Union and came to form the United States of America.  Georgia's week of prayer and fasting will be February 5-12. (We will be providing more information specific to Georgia closer to this date.)

Documents you will need for the corporate national initiative January 1st through 15th or either attached above or are shown at the bottom of this email (select and click): The "Route 52″ Proclamation; Prophetic Words from Chuck Pierce on Covenant Roots; 50 State by State Weekly Prayer Calendar; US Constitution and Preamble; Bill of Rights; Declaration of Independence; White House Czars, Cabinet Members; Supreme Court Justices; etc.

Below are some excerpts from the communication we received from the USRPN.  As we approach our week of intercession, we will release more details for our state prayer initiative.  However, during the course of "Route 52″ please be praying for each of the states (schedule attached).

"ROOT 52″

USRPN National Prayer Strategy

We are calling this initiative "ROOT 52″ because it is a 52-week prayer strategy to bring the nation back to it's covenantal roots.  A torch of prayer and fasting will go "en-route" from state-to-state in the sequence that they joined the Union and came to form the United States of America.

The strategy for ROOT 52 encompasses all 50 states standing together in covenant both to fast and pray in agreement during the first two weeks of 2010 for our national leadership and national governmental structure.  We will then move forward each week with individual states continuing to bow in repentance before God and taking up the torch of prayer and fasting until we complete 52 weeks, equaling 1 year. (50 states plus 2 weeks for government leadership).

The first week of the year begins corporately with all 50 states mobilized and joined together in prayer and fasting for our nation's leadership in the White House:

President Barrack Obama and Vice President Biden, their wives and families, the Cabinet members, as well as the many Czars, as they are part of the whole (team).  (See attached list of White House Czars and list of Cabinet Members)

The second week we would continue to pray and fast corporately for the Judicial, Legislative and Executive branches of our government. (See attached list of Supreme Court Members)

During these first two weeks, we are to 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". (To access these documents, select and click on the list at the bottom of this email.)

As Chuck Pierce was shown by the Lord, some states have a covenant root of our founding fathers.  If there's not one, the state will contend for one and war to pull down, tear down, and uproot, and seek the Lord to plant and to build a new structure spiritually in that state.  (See attached Prophetic Words on Covenant Roots by Chuck Pierce).

We also want to pray Jeremiah 1:10 that God will uproot and expose as well as build and plant. We need to pray that any terrorist funding, and jihadist plots be uncovered.

Pray for the complacency of the the church be broken. We need to pray for a Great Awakening and for Reformation to start in every state.

In Hebrew, the United States is translated Artzot Ha-Brit, which means "lands of covenant" (view source). If we will covenant together as the body of Christ, we have an opportunity to turn this battle at the gates.  As the United States of America, we've all heard the motto, "united we stand and divided we fall."  We believe that as the call goes out and the praying church arises, uniting in heart and purpose, that we will stand strong.  As a result, we will see the walls of deception, seduction, lies and rhetoric come down like those of Jericho. Something needs to change and I we trust you agree.  We know the Lord is faithful and he has a plan for good and not for evil; to give us a hope and a future and an expected end.

We see a remnant arising.  There is a triumphant reserve.  There are those who recognize it is no longer "business as usual" and the grass roots movement is feeling the wind of resurrection blowing.  If we will take our place in repentance, bowing low before God in humility with fervent prayer and fasting, seeking God's face and his heart towards our nation, we believe that united with God and one another, a nation can be shifted.

Vicki (California Coordinator) shared that the Lord recently spoke to her that Babylon and Egypt were both built with bricks but His building program is building with living stones. Apostle Dutch Sheets said that its time to altar a nation.  Elijah, led by the spirit of God, rebuilt the altar that had been torn down in the nation through the seduction, control, intimidation, lies and unrighteous political alignment with Jezebel-a covenant breaking spirit.  Even as Elijah used twelve stones to rebuild the altar of God, representing the 12 tribes, we too can stand on the principle that we have 50 stones/states as an offering to build and to re-altar this nation and turn it back to God.

Come bow with us.  Come war with us.  Help save the soul of our nation.

We have issued the call:  ROOT 52!

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. . .
