Dear Steve,

My husband and I are physicians in Bakersfield. We are very involved in prayer in our region and fellowship at Canyon Hills Assembly of God. Presently, we are the Kern Region Prayer Coordinators for the US Strategic Prayer Network. We have also co-founded a ministry, "Three Stranded Cord Strategic Ministries," whose purpose is to equip the church in worship, prayer and the Word. Through TSC, we are working intimately with several ministries including the Wagner Leadership Institute. Respectfully, Susan Rowe

PS This hit our regional prayer gathering Monday night like a lightning bolt. In our sphere, the 24 hour prayer watch is intensifying as a result.

VISION -- ATHALIAH AT THE GATES

In a time of intense prayer over particularly vicious warfare under, I had a vision. The vision was as follows: I saw a pile of rubble.

The pile was made up of bricks and steel frames like a building that had collapsed. All of a sudden, a giant pair of hands came out of the sky.

It scooped up the rubble and formed it in its hands. The hands opened and I saw a very large clock tower. The clock tower was the image of Big Ben.

This vision was particularly alarming for two reasons. First all, it was very clear. Secondly, there was a distinct paradigm shift in the atmosphere as the warfare broke and the peace of God settled in.

In seeking the Lord for the understanding, I heard "Athaliah agates."

Athaliah means "the Lord's time."

Revelation began to fall regarding this nation and why it continues to hang in the balance. What is possessing our nation's gates that prevents the Lord's purposes from coming forth? The Lord began to show me that the rubble I saw was the destruction of Athaliah.

ATHALIAH KILLED THE CHILDREN OF INHERITANCE

Athaliah killed the children of inheritance. She also usurped the throne from the rightful heir.

The Lord began to show me that her spirit has gained access to the gates of this nation through the legal killing of millions of innocent. Her rule hinders true seed from coming to full fruition.

She steals rightful inheritance from those God has ordained. She usurps God-given authority and aborts spiritual babies preventing them from coming into maturity.

Her rule, however, collapsed as those who carried and understood covenant stood watch over the promised inheritance.

YOU SHALL KEEP THE WATCH OF THE HOUSE

2 Kings 11:7 says, "You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down."

I heard the Lord say, that is why He has raised up prayer watches across this nation. That is why He has released strategies in cities, regions and nationally to restore covenant because the hour has come, it is "the Lord's time", for the rule of Athaliah to be broken off our nation's gates. The time has come for the righteous to possess the gates of this nation.

BIRTHING OF THE GOVERNMENT OF DAVID

I heard the Lord say there will be a birthing forth of the government of David across this nation, if the watchmen mobilize and press in at this hour and over the next nine months (the time of gestation). As watchmen stand guard, that which was utterly destroyed by Athaliah's rule will reform as God molds the governmental structures into His will. As Athaliah is removed, there will be a great unleashing of prophetic destiny and zeal for individuals, cities, and nation if we rise up in the watches at this hour.

MOBILIZE THE WATCHES, STAND GUARD!!

Mobilize the watches, stand guard, so that the true Joash's of this nation may come forth and take possession of the throne. The promise of Isaiah 9:7 is at hand "And of the increase of His government and peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."
