THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD – PRAYER AND ACTION
Prayer is the Foundation…….
- Day and Night Prayer in 83 counties in MI…the original mission! Much progress has been made in this area and on January 10, 2016 our state will continue to cohesively connect MI in day and night prayer leading up to the election. We are actively enlisting people. The “War Room” movie was a great inspiration for people to enter into their prayer closets and to pray in small groups as well. Jesus said could you not watch with me one hour and pray.
- Michigan/Capitol Hill Prayer Partners – DC/Moravian Night Watch: Michigan is directly connected to Washington, DC (chpp@patriot.org.- Sarah Ballinger) CHPP has been facilitating a national prayer night watch (12 years) working with major ministries across America. MI took the prayer torch in October working with national prayer ministries.
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners in Washington DC has assigned Transformation Michigan to develop what is being called the “second line of defense”. On January 10, 2016 prayer teams and individuals are already volunteering for a seven week assignment focusing on the night. We are adding the hours from 6 AM to 12 midnight as well in our efforts. More on this soon as the strategy is unfolding. A state/national conference call line is being established where hours in the night and day will be covered by churches, ministries, prayer teams and individuals.
- MICHOP:Michigan Capitol House of Prayer is establishing weekly daily/prayer here at this seat of government? We are located across the street from the state capitol on 322 West Ottawa. Contact Gina Johnsen our site director if you would like to bring a group in: CONTACT ginamichop@gmail.com
- Together RESET – 2016… A national prayer gathering will take place on the Washington DC mall on July 16, 2016.
This will be unprecedented as Christians across all streams in the body of Christ will be mobilized to pray for the nation before the next election. Transformation Michigan has been appointed to mobilize the state of MI to come to a 1 million person prayer gathering in DC.
National leaders/church organizations/ministries, are endorsing this of event such as the Billy Graham organization, The Call Lou Engle, Southern Baptist, Luis Palau organization, Rick Joyner – Morningstar, Campus Crusade, Intervarsity, Bill Johnson, Jesus Culture, Hillsong, Kansas City IHOP…numerous other ministries and churches across United States. – http://resetmovement.com/
- Decision America and Franklin Graham coming to Michigan…in October 2016, Franklin Graham will be coming to the Lansing Capitol steps.
Franklin Graham is going to every state capitol in the nation. Transformation Michigan is acting field coordinator to promote and encourage people to attend. We are hoping for thousands to come as Franklin will challenge government and the church to repentance. He will make a call for people to pray, vote Biblically, and impact their communities for Christ. The gathering will be on a Tuesday from 12-1PM.

- The Call Azusa – Lou Engle…is taking place on April 9thin the LA Colliseum.
It is a national prayer gathering. A number of prayer leaders in Michigan are flying out to participate. Transformation Michigan is getting the word out through our state as we have been designated as a state coordinator to promote. Many of the younger generation will be attending. There is an expectation of a great Awakening” to manifest. There are a number of prayer leaders in MI who were involved with TheCall at Ford Field on 11/11/11 to attend.

and finally…..
Action must follow Prayer…
- Billboard Initiative…Major Highways will have Bill Boards go up on selected major highways 6 months before the election. There will be a corresponding website – “We Agree America”! A recognizable brand will be developed. Each region can procure a billboard and take responsibility for raising the funds. we desire these to go up 6 months before the election.
This Billboard initiative that does not affiliate with any political party. We are only under the banner of “We Agree America!” We each share in the vision and mission – to vote Biblically and impact the next election! The areas below are what we consider at this time to be “unity magnets” so people can be unified in a common purpose to engage our culture. The goal is to impact our next election so people can vote Biblically.
VOTING BIBLICALLY…is letting God orchestrate our life’s choices by seeking His guidance through His Word and prayer. It is maintaining a belief that God’s Word is true and leads to enacting God’s principles by which to select, endorse, and vote for righteous candidates.
By putting “God First” the shift in the political sphere of influence gives the people the voting power in which to return to God’s original intent of governing a nation. In scripture God reveals His truth about family, education, government, media, religion, entertainment and business. Historically, a large number of Christians have not voted we need to change that and allow God to be the “First Voice,” as we become a “Voice of Faith,” across America.

- Door to Door Activation…4 Color double sided high Gloss 8 ½ by 11 handouts made for Distribution will be printed to correspond with the Billboards. The flier will be concise and to the point with graphics that will catch the eye. We would print up thousands to distribute. We would seek volunteers in communities to go door to door throughout the area they reside in and distribute these. There are always people who have the boldness and tenacity to do this. These handouts will be passed out on universities in the Fall as well.
- Social Media/Radio/Blog Radio must be impacted…Internet, Twitter, Facebook, You Tube, Radio, etc. must be utilized to get the message out. The younger generation does not read they are encompassed with short social media bites of information. We must reach the college age students with the message utilizing social media. This is the world they live in.
- “We Agree America” Publication…a hard copy as well as an E-book will be produced that will have key chapters defining issues of the day where people can be educated to vote Biblically. There will be contributing authors and the intent is to not date the publication so it can be used for many years to come.
- Disseminating information through state conferences/gatherings…is part of our plan where you can help. We must network with our connections to get out the information. We must have tables made available and make announcements at conference gatherings to educate and update people. The church must be activated to vote. Pastors and ministry leaders must be found who will step out and make a stand.
