Forty Days of Light Over D.C.
RELEASING THE LIGHT AND SOUND OF ETERNAL WORSHIP
OVER THE DISTRICT OF CHRIST
10 3 11 Through 11 11 11
Through the years, I have participated in several strategic prayer initiatives in Washington DC. In September 2008, while on one such assignment, our team met in Philadelphia, the foundational city of ruling government in our nation. We met there and prayed, and then journeyed to the city of Washington DC. It was a momentous occasion indeed. The day after our journey ended, Lehman Brothers fell. We never fully realize all that Father does on a prayer journey or strategic assignment. Our responsibility is to simply be obedient to what He shows us to do.
Another significant moment in Washington DC was in March 2010, as I joined prayer leaders from around the nation. On that assignment, I heard very clearly within me, “This city needs a siege laid to it.” The next words I heard after this were from a man standing next to me, who turned and said to me, “This city needs a siege laid to it.” Not that there haven’t been many faithful people praying and intercessory assignments successfully executed in the city, I am fully confident there have been. As a matter of fact, each step of obedience leads to another and the unfolding of Father’s heart and the advancement of the Kingdom in the earth. That brings us to the name “DC 40” or “40 Days Over DC”. They are one and the same.
When I first received revelation concerning this 40 day assignment, I had no intention of staying away from home for any longer than that, but while ministering in Vincennes, IN, earlier this year, the worship leader began singing “This is the year we return to Philadelphia.” As he sang those words, the Spirit of the Lord washed over my being, and I knew that He was saying to me, “This is the year you return to Philadelphia in prayer.”
As I pondered what was happening within me, and because 11-11-11 is when the DC 40 initiative is completed, it began to arise within me that there needed to be 11 days in Philadelphia. When I looked at the calendar, that brought the entire journey to 51 days, ending on 11-22-11. Isaiah 22:22 is one of the foundational scriptures that we have been moving in, and in Revelation chapter 3, when the Lord speaks to Philadelphia, He talks about laying the Key of David on the shoulders of that city - the same key Isaiah 22:22 speaks about. That is why DC40 (or 40 Days over DC) has turned into 51 days.
As I was counseling with a young leader in Washington DC, he had just taken part in a 51 hour prayer assignment - one hour for each state, and one for the District of Christ. Now, we are moving from 51 hours to 51 days - each state (and the District) fasting and praying for the healing, deliverance, awakening, and reformation of our nation.
If you are reading this, I would suggest to you that you may be called to play a part, for we were all born for such a time as this.
