"DUTCH SHEETS Issues EMERGENCY 3-DAY CALL to PRAYER and FASTING for THIS ELECTION!"

As I write this, Dutch Sheets is on the way to Washington D.C. -- to pray, decree, and proclaim regarding this election.

He has gotten an emergency alert today from the Lord and I intend to take it VERY SERIOUSLY.

The Prophets are speaking and proclaiming. But this is a partnership and God's people MUST BE PRAYING!

As odd as it seems, the Lord and the Church are in this together -- it's a partnership. It's a marriage.

God CAN do it alone, but He generally won't. He told us that we "have not because we ask not." Do not assume that God will put the right man in office without our agreement for the same.

With that in mind, please read this and FORWARD IT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. DO NOT DELAY. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

"DUTCH SHEETS Issues EMERGENCY 3-DAY CALL to PRAYER and FASTING for THIS ELECTION!"

October 28, 2004

Dear Friends,

Up until now, the Holy Spirit has not led me to issue a call to prayer for this year's elections, as I did in 2000 (others have done so and many are praying).

That began to change this morning, as I sensed clearly that the warfare over this election went to another level - big time! As it was in 2000, it is an all-out war in the spirit realm for the soul of this nation, and I sense in my spirit that we have not yet broken through into victory.

If we lose this war - and make no mistake, we can lose it if at any point we yield to apathy, overconfidence, weariness, or anything else that might cause us to not finish well - the results will be devastating.

Do not make the fatal mistake of laying the results of this election solely on the will and sovereignty of God. As He did in 2000, God is requiring a partnership with the praying church in order for righteousness to prevail.

We must not allow a faulty theology that simply says, "We have asked God to intervene, the rest is up to Him," to give us a false sense of security. Sometimes asking is all that is necessary, sometimes not.

In this battle it absolutely is not.

Just as when Israel did not possess Canaan, and also when Jerusalem missed a visitation from Heaven in Christ's day; God's will alone will not decide this election (Hebrews 3:18-19; Luke 19:44). In 1963, we forfeited God's will by removing His influence from our schools; in 1973, we missed God's will by allowing abortion to be legalized. And make no mistake about it, our lack of action at this point in time can cause us to miss God's will and send us spiraling downward again.

We must move into spiritual warfare now, as never before! There is a persistence that must be exercised, striking the ground until complete victory is assured (2 Kings 13:14-19). By those who understand the principles of spiritual warfare, there is a kingdom force that must be employed in the spirit until the powers of darkness yield to the forces of light (Daniel 10:12-14; Matthew 11:12; Ephesians 6:12). There is a binding and loosing that must occur until confusion reigns in the enemy's camp (Matthew 16:18-19). The kingdom rule and will of God must be released in intercession and declaration until Heaven's desires prevail on earth (Matthew 6:10).

Don't let up. Intensify!

The next 3 days will determine the fate of America for decades - maybe forever.

Also, I believe the purposes of God in many nations are at stake; not the least of which is a great harvest of souls around the world.

Take some radical steps. I am changing my schedule and going to Washington D.C. for the next 3 days, in order to pray in the way I believe the Lord is leading me.

Though this is not practical for most of you, here are some suggestions for the final 3 days leading up to this election:


1. Fast. Some are already fasting; I am asking for thousands more to join them. Ask God to lead you as to what kind of fast, and use wisdom concerning medical factors.

2. Join together in prayer meetings and prayer services: the prayer of agreement is powerful - use it.

3. Get up earlier than usual and pray before beginning other activities.

4. If possible, do a night watch - get up through the night and pray; or pull an "all-nighter," if you feel the strength to do so.

5. Pray Isaiah 22:22!

6. Send this prayer alert to every praying Christian that you know. Please give it to your pastor far enough in advance of Sunday's services so that he can plan.

Finally, this is not a partisan issue; it is simply a righteousness issue. God must have a man in office who seeks His face. If all of us do our part, we will prevail in this election and see America take another turn toward righteousness and revival.


For His Cause,
