MINNESOTA ROOT 52 STRATEGIC PRAYER GUIDE

AUGUST 20 – 27, 2010

We, the Sons of God, those called of God in Minnesota, begin this week of intercession by connecting with all the Holy Spirit inspired prayers that have been and will be released during this prayer assignment. Through the faith of God, in the fear of the Lord and through the will of God, we agree with the Resolution of Apology which has now become the official law of the land. We release though the blood of Christ the spiritual intent of this national act of repentance into the eternal spheres of Minnesota. We release though the power of Christ, His mercy, goodness, grace and love to accomplish His intent and to release His Kingdom on the earth.

Deut. 7:12-14 “IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THESE LAWS AND ARE CAREFUL TO FOLLOW THEM, THEN THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL KEEP HIS COVENANT OF LOVE WITH YOU, AS HE SWORE TO YOUR FOREFATHERS. HE WILL LOVE AND BLESS YOU AND INCREASE YOUR NUMBERS. HE WILL BLESS THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB, THE CROPS OF YOUR LAND - YOUR GRAIN, NEW WINE AND OIL - THE CALVES OF YOUR HERDS AND THE LAMBS OF YOUR FLOCKS IN THE LAND THAT HE SWORE TO YOUR FOREFATHERS TO GIVE YOU.”

We the blood-covered, anointed believers of God in Minnesota, filled with the power and authority of Holy Spirit, join with our believing brothers and sisters around this nation in proclaiming this a Year of Repentance, Fasting and Prayer to Call the United States back to her Christian Roots. We repent for not being a covenant state and not establishing a covenant with our covenant keeping God until now. Through the blood of Christ and the power of Holy Spirit, we now turn our hearts back to You our faithful God who has never left us or forsaken us.

Minnesota’s preamble states:

“WE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR OUR CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND DESIRING TO PERPETUATE IT’S BLESSINGS AND SECURE THE SAME TO OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY, DO ORDAIN AND ESTABLISH THIS CONSTITUTION.” Adopted Oct. 13, 1857. The state motto is: L’Etoile du Nord or the North Star.

The seal of Minnesota

The seal of Minnesota shows the sun visible on the western horizon, signifying summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The horizon’s visibility signifies the flat plains covering much of Minnesota. The Native American on horseback is riding due south and represents our great Indian heritage. His horse and spear and the Pioneer’s ax, rifle and plow represent tools that were used for hunting and labor. The stump in the foreground symbolizes the importance of the lumber industry. The Mississippi River and St. Anthony Falls are depicted to note the importance of these resources in transportation and industry. The cultivated ground and plow symbolize the importance of agriculture. Beyond the falls three pine trees represent the state tree and the three great pine regions of Minnesota: St. Croix, Mississippi and Lake Superior.

Minnesota prophetic names:

Minnesota has been called the Headwater State -

• The Red River of the North that flows north through Canada to Hudson Bay begins in our state.

• The St. Louis River flows into Lake Superior, on through the St. Lawrence Seaway and out to the Atlantic Ocean.

• The Minnesota River which starts at Big Stone Lake, flows south to Mankato, turns north and meets the Mississippi at Fort Snelling.

• The Mississippi with its headwaters in Itasca State Park flows through the center of our nation to the Gulf of Mexico.

Out of Minnesota flow rivers of living water.

Minnesota was the 32nd state to join the Union in 1858 - the number 32 means “covenant”.

The name Minnesota comes from the Dakota word mnisota which means sky-tinted or somewhat clouded water. The Dakota used to drop milk in the water and call it mnisota.

Minnesota has also been called:

The Threshing Floor State (50 State Tour by Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce)

The Revival State (Cindy Jacobs on several occasions)

The First Fruits State

Fisherman’s Paradise (God says, “I will make you fishers of men.”)

The Land of Plenty.

Mississippi River

The headwaters of this great river, starts in Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota. The name Mississippi means “father of waters”. It is the third largest river in the world and runs southward over 2550 miles through the heart of the United States and all the way to New Orleans, LA where it flows out into the Gulf of Mexico. It takes 90 days for a drop of water to travel from the Headwaters in Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. The French fur traders called the Mississippi the River of the Holy Spirit. Many prophetic words have been spoken over this mighty river and it has been the focus of many prayer journeys some of which include: a 1999 canoe prayer journey repenting for the treatment of the Native Americans; 2004 prayer assignment at headwaters in conjunction with word from Chuck Pierce during 50 state tour that the river will be cleansed; 2 Prayer Initiatives led by James Nesbit - RIVER FLUSH in 2007 and MISSISSIPPI MERCY in 2009 releasing mercy and grace to the victims of abortion.

Minnesota History

The territory first belonged to the Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, Anishinaabe, Cheyenne and Cree. Minnesota became the 32^nd state on May 11, 1858. It is the 12^th largest state with 84,068 square miles.

Dakota Indians

To the Dakota people, the name Dakota (or Lakota and Nakota) means "friends" or "allies." The term Sioux means "snake," a name given to the Dakota Nation by the Ojibwe, their traditional enemies.

The Dakota were here for several hundred years worshipping their gods and performing ceremonial rituals. The Dakotas were initially called the Mississippian people. They built over 10,000 mounds that were used as graves and worship sites; most of these mounds have now disappeared. They worshipped unktehi, “the terrible one” who was the god of water and the underworld. He was associated with maka, a female god who ruled the earth. The Dakota believed that the mouth of the Minnesota River, where it flows into the Mississippi River stood directly over the center of the earth. They believed that the creator brought forth humans from the center of the world located at this confluence. Why would they think this? Minnesota sits on the largest underwater ocean in the world. If the underground water were to come to the surface, it would cover the entire state with 10' of water. Because of the continental divide rivers flow north, south, east and west and mark it as the top of the great dome of the North American continent.

Ojibwe Indians

In late 1850, some 400 Ojibwe Indians perished because of the government’s attempt to relocate them from their homes in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan to Minnesota west of the Mississippi River. The tragedy unfolded at Sandy Lake where thousands of Ojibwes suffered from illness, hunger and exposure. The Lake Superior Ojibwe were told to travel to Sandy Lake, MN where their treaty annuities-cash, food and other goods promised in exchange for the land cessions-would be waiting for them. In prior years, these annuities for the Lake Superior Ojibwe had been distributed at La Pointe on Madeline Island in Lake Suprior, a traditional hub of Ojibwe culture and a more accessible location.

By November 10th, some 4,000 Ojibwe had arrived. They were ill prepared for what they faced at Sandy Lake. The promised annuities were not waiting for them, and the last of the limited provisions that were available were not distributed until December 2nd after harsh winter conditions had set in. While they waited the nearly six weeks for much needed supplies, they lacked adequate food and shelter. Over 150 died from dysentery caused by spoiled government provisions and from measles. Demonstrating their steadfast desire to remain in their homelands, the Ojibwe began an arduous winter’s journey home on December 3rd. As many as 250 others died along the way. On the same day, Aish-ke-bo-go-ko-zhe, the Ojibwe leader also known as Flat Mouth, sent word to Governor Ramsey that he held him personally at fault for the broken promises that resulted in suffering and death.

As word of the Sandy Lake, MN disaster spread, so did opposition to the government’s removal policy. Non-Indian settlers-including missionaries, newspaper editors, legislators, and local citizens-voiced their support for the Ojibwe. Ojibwe leaders traveled to Washington to secure guarantees that annuities would be distributed at La Pointe and that the Ojibwe could remain in their homelands. In 1852, the U.S. government abandoned its efforts to remove the Ojibwe. And in 1854, Congress passed a law authorizing that future Ojibwe treaties would instead provide for permanent reservations in areas the Ojibwe traditionally occupied.

The Kensington Rune Stone

In 1362 an expedition of Scandinavian explorers (Vikings); Knights Templars, thought to be Free Masons, who may have come through Lake Superior or Hudson Bay, journeyed inland fourteen days to an area near Alexandria, MN, now called Kensington. There they marked a 200 lb. slab of greywacke stone with runes (Old Norse writing), thereby staking their claim to the land and waterways of North America. (This is reported to be the first land claim to be known in America.)

The centuries old stone was found in 1898 by a farmer in the Kensington, MN area. It had originally been buried and then markings on stones nearby marking "X" for its location. Some writings on the stone have been translated by an historian to read: "this was a religious expedition by Magnus Erickson, a Catholic ruler of Norway" and part of Sweden in the 14^th century. Another inscription says, “eight Goths and twenty-two Norwegians on exploration journey from Vinland over the West. We had camp by two skerries, one days journey north from this stone. We were and fished one day…… After we came home we found ten of our party by sea looking after the ships, fourteen days journey from the island.”

There has been much controversy as to the authenticity of the markings on the stone, but scholars consistently have proven its authenticity. There have also been artifacts made of iron that were not used by the Indians and were found in the same area as the stone. There is also a possible connection with the rune stone and an area in southern Illinois where over 4000 Egyptian artifacts have been found. Many of the markings are similar.

A giant twenty-five foot replica of the rune stone is displayed in Rune Stone Park on the east side of Alexandria (known as the eastern gate). It was erected by the Kiwanis in 1951 and exhibited at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. The original rune stone is located in a museum in Alexandria, Minnesota several miles away from the original site.

'Chokio Altar Stone' - In addition to the 'rune stone' another stone called the 'Chokio Altar Stone' was found near Chokio, Mn. in 1970. It is a small hand held stone with runes. The Vikings who mixed their beliefs with those of the Roman Catholics used this kind of stone to perform mass when they were traveling.

As blood-covered, anointed believers filled with the power and authority of Holy Spirit we renounce any and all land claims that have been made to false gods. We repent of any and all false doctrines, canons, and decrees that are contrary to the truth of the eternal word of God, “Your Word is Truth”. Through the blood of Christ we release the blood-covered, anointed promises of God, that He is our provider; truth of God that He alone is God; the purpose of God, that this land will return to its original state and fulfill the eternal Kingdom purposes of God. We release the blood-covered, anointed justice, judgment and truth of God over these false gods.

Giants and other Defilements in the Land

The Sleeping Giant

Part of Minnesota’s iron ore range in the north eastern part of the state is called the Mesabi Range which includes Giants Ridge. The Ojibway Indians called Mesabi, the sleeping giant. It is the largest of the 4 iron ore ranges in Minnesota. Iron from Minnesota was used in construction of buildings throughout the United States and in manufacturing during 2 World Wars. The ore was so important that the entire town of Hibbing was moved between the years of 1919 and 1959 in order to mine the ore. Minnesota holds the chief deposit of iron ore in the United States. Mesabi means giant. (Dan. 2:33, “his legs of iron, his feet part iron and part clay”) But God is driving the giants from this land. (Deut. 9:3, But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them; He will drive them out and annihilate them quickly, as the Lord has promised.”) He is shattering their legs, breaking them down, driving them out. Copper was also mined from the North Shore and Great Lakes area. According to the International World History Project, Ancient Phoenicians (descendants from the Canaanites) used copper from this area of Minnesota in the building of Solomon’s Temple. It is believed that the giants in this land came over with these Phoenician traders and miners.

Minnesota holds the legends of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox and also The Jolly Green Giant, both products of advertising campaigns. Other 'giant' legends are Big Ole, St. Urho, The Giant Voyageur and Hermann the German.

Paul Bunyan

Paul Bunyan is a mythological lumber jack who is said to have dug the Grand Canyon by dragging his axe behind him. The legend claimed Paul Bunyan made Mt. Hood by piling rocks on top of his campfire to put it out. Part of the myth told how the Great Lakes were formed to be used as a watering hole for his giant blue ox, Babe. Another story said that when a tank of water Babe was hauling broke open, it formed the Mississippi River. "We declare that Paul Bunyan is not the Creator!"

The Jolly Green Giant

The Jolly Green Giant is known as the third person of the Viking trinity, 1) the father Odin, 2) the son Thor and the 3) Freyr, or the Green Giant. There is a large billboard of The Jolly Green Giant and Little Sprout at the north end of the Minnesota River Valley. History surrounding the giant says that he was the father and guardian of the valley. It also says that Little Sprout was a combination of Tom Sawyer and Peter Pan and he would never “grow up”. There is a Dakota folklore story that tells about a giant who was painted green and had a feather in his hat. The Indians came to him and asked for food because they were starving. The giant said, I am dying so you must wrestle me for it. The Indian wrestled with the giant and won. The giant said, all that I ask is that you bury me. When the Indians did this, corn grew up and fed the people.

At the southern end of the Minnesota Valley stands a 55’ statue of The Jolly Green Giant as well. It was erected in 1978 to coincide with the opening of Interstate 90 which runs east and west, from Boston to Seattle, through the southern end of Minnesota. It is known to be the longest four-lane road in the U.S. The 'Green Giant' marks the midpoint between East and West. One comment known is that The Jolly Green Giant 'dwarfs other leviathans.'

We declare that The Jolly Green Giant is not the Provider, Guardian or Father! We thank you Lord that You are the GREAT I AM, and greater than all the giants in our land put together and that You are driving them out before us.

Hermann the German

Hermann the German is a 27’ statue of a German warrior with his sword raised and stands on a hill in New Ulm. The statue is made of iron covered with copper standing on a 70’ column of iron and supported by 16 columns of iron. This statue is said to be the symbol of all citizens of German heritage, the main immigrant people group in Minnesota. It was given to the city of New Ulm in 1897 and paid for by the Sons of Hermann, a fraternal organization formed in New York City in 1840 for the protection of German immigrants. The Sons of Hermann are an offshoot of the Odd Fellows and German Jews participated fully in the Sons of Hermann. There is a matching statue in North Rhine Westphalia in Germany. "We declare that Hermann the German is not our defender!"

Big Ole

Alexandria hosts Big Ole a 28’ symbol of Minnesota Viking pride. His shield proclaims, “Alexandria, the birthplace of America.” He was built in 1965 and exhibited at the New York World’s Fair that year. He was vandalized by fire once and damaged on several occasions, but it is said, “through it all, Alexandria rallied to their Viking lord”, covering repair costs. "We declare that Big Ole is not our Lord!"

St. Urho

Menahga hosts a 12’ statue of St. Urho, the patron saint of Finland who is a mythological grasshopper chaser. It is said that he used his splendid and loud voice to chase grasshoppers out of pre-ice age Finland. The statue in the U.S. was initially made as a joke in the 1950’s, but is now honored with his own day, Mar. 16^th each year. "We declare that St. Urho is not our defender!"

Giant Voyageur

There is Giant Voyageur in Two Harbors. He stands 20’ tall and recalls the time when giant French explorers navigated the wilderness waterways of Minnesota.

Another Giant Voyageur stands at the entrance to the community of Ranier, MN which is situated on the Rainy River near International Falls.

Pipestone Quarries

Near Pipestone, MN. stand the Pipestone Quarries. The stone was used to make ceremonial pipes for the Plains Indians that were used to carry their prayers to the Great Spirit. These quarries were sacred to the Dakota, Lakota and other North American tribes. They believed the stone was the hardened flesh and blood of their ancestors who died in the 'great flood'. They also believed that the red boulders were solid forms of their gods.

Jeffers Petroglyphs

Near the town of Comfry are the Jeffers Petroglyphs. Carvings found there have been dated before the first known pyramid and Stonehenge. It is one of the most sacred sites in the nation to many tribes and is visited by the Iowa, Oto, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Lakota, Dakota, Nakota and Ojibwe who come to visit and pray at the site. There is a quote from the Lakota creation story that says, “Before any other thing Inyan (rock) was and his spirit was Wakan Tankan ‘the great mystery’”. In March of 1998 there was an EF4 tornado that nearly destroyed the entire town of Comfry . It was an extremely large and unseasonable tornado for the state of Minnesota.

Viking Altar Rock

Near Sauk Center stands the Viking Altar Rock used by the Vikings during their exploration of the upper Midwest region of the United States. It was rededicated in 1975 with a celebration mass. The local Knights of Columbus promote the rock. It is believed to have been an altar based on the presence of two sets of holes, roughly triangular in shape, about a meter above the base, which is speculated to have held an altar shelf. Other holes at the ends are claimed to have supported sticks on which a canopy could be placed. The Vikings practiced infanticide which may account for Minnesota’s later role in Roe vs. Wade.

Lord, we repent for allowing these giants and defilements into our land. We now renounce each and every one of them. As anointed blood-covered believers we command these false heads to stand up. We say to them, you have been overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of His Testimony. We release the righteousness of God into our land, we release the blood-covered judgments, truth and justice of God over these false rulers and we exalt You as King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords over the state of Minnesota. Ex. 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

Freemasonry

As many other states we have a deeply imbedded history of Freemasonry. The Patrons of Husbandry (commonly known as The Grange) was founded in St. Paul in 1867 by government clerk Oliver Hudson Kelley and six associates.

Minnesota Lodges

160 Masonic Lodges in Minnesota with around 16,000 members.

6 Prince Lodges

80 Eastern Star Lodges for women with 8,000+ members.

Morals and Dogma (digest/index) of which is a textbook of the ancient and accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry was written by Albert Pike. Pike presided over the Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Chapters for 20 years including the two chapters in Duluth. Duluth chapters were directly involved in funding the printing of the book.

Today Duluth is the site of the world’s largest inland port which gives Minnesota access to the entire world. At one time Duluth had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world – they now have more Freemasons and lodges per capita than anywhere else in the US and the city is struggling economically. Almost every mainline denominational church in the city has a Masonic cornerstone and many of the churches were founded by the same leaders that were active in the Masonic temples; 95 - 98% of the schools also have a Masonic cornerstone.

Duluth

Duluth was also the site of the Communist International group called the Scandinavian Socialists. It was the largest 'local' in the US with over 400 members. In 1919 they became the Communist Labor Party. As immigration continued, in 1921, even larger Finnish Socialist locals in Superior and Duluth lead the Finnish Socialists Federation of North America into the communist movement and played a significant role in developing the Communist Party in the US. In 1929 a directive from Moscow demanded that local communists assert greater control over the Finnish cooperative movement. This split the Finnish community and many were murdered because they were seen as a threat to Stalin. In 1930 the very influential Farmer-Labor Party was formed, but anti-communists within fought against their influence and in 1948 with the help of Hubert Humphrey, took control and formed the now merged Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

Paganistan

The Twin Cities Pagan community

Pagan priests call the Twin Cities "Paganistan" in reference to the long-lived Pagan community established there. It is a name that the Twin Cities Metro Area Pagans have taken on to identify their growing community. The Twin Cities is known to have the second largest contemporary Pagan community in the US (only San Francisco's Bay Area is larger). This pagan community has its formative roots as far back as 1972, when the Gnostica Bookstore was holding spiritual seeker classes on topics like magic, contemporary Witchcraft, and other occult traditions down on Hennepin Avenue. Gnostica eventually grew to become Llewelyn Publications, the world's largest New Age and Paganism publisher -- and the Pagan community in the Cities grew right along with it.

From the publication: "Minnesota Pagan" (2005)

Pagans of all different flavors—Witches, Wiccans, Wicans, Weikans, Druids, Heathens, Asatru, Theodists, Santeros, Voudunistes, neo-Canaanites, Dianics, Hellenic Reconstructionists, from all over the western hemisphere and beyond, have come to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) to live. Together they have built one of the largest, Pagan communities of any American city (not to mention the world).

Llewellyn Publications

Llewellyn Publications which was started in St. Paul, MN 1961, is considered the premier publisher in the world today of books concerning the 'new age', wicca, alernative spirituality and so on.

Minnesota Abortionist

Jane Hodgeson

Born in Crookson, MN i(1915-1991), Dr. Jan Hodgson was a Minnesota physician who spent more than 50 years working towards full reproductive health care for women. She earned her medical degree from the University of Minnesota in 1939 and continued her medical training at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Hodgeson opened her office in St. Paul in 1947. Through the years her dedication that all women should have full access to reproductive heath care led her to the place of challenging Minnesota's harsh abortion law in 1970, when she became the only physician in U.S. history to be convicted of performing an abortion in a hospital. Following the Roe v. Wade decision in 1972, Dr. Hodgson provided help and leadership in the launching of several Twin Cities' abortion clinics. When she realized how many women were making long, difficult journeys to get to the Twin Cities, she founded the Duluth Women's Health Center in 1981. Now located in The Building for Women, the Women's Health Center serves women from northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and southern Ontario. For more than fifteen years Dr. Hodgson regularly made the 300-mile round trip from her home to Duluth in order to provide abortions, since it proved impossible to recruit a local physician to provide services. As an influential activist, she frequently testified as an expert in courts throughout the U.S. and Canada, and wrote and lectured on a broad range of reproductive issues.

"A medically necessary abortion is any abortion a woman asks for" quote by Minnesota abortionist Jane Hodgeson.

Eugenics

Minnesota Eugenics Society & Founder Charles Fremont Dight - 1920

Eugenics was a movement to improve the human species by controlling hereditary factors in mating. In the early 1920s, Charles Fremont Dight, a physician in Minneapolis, launched a crusade to bring the eugenics movement to Minnesota. He fostered the idea that the state should administer reproduction of mentally handicapped individuals. His main lines of approach included eugenics education, changes in marriage laws, and the segregation and sterilization of what he called “defective” individuals.

Dight organized the Minnesota Eugenics Society in 1923 and began campaigning for a sterilization law. In 1925 the Minnesota legislature passed a law allowing the sterilization of the “feeble–minded” and insane who were resident in the state's institutions. Dight spoke and wrote on the subject of eugenics, including over 300 letters to Minneapolis daily newspapers, a 1935 pamphlet on the History and Early Stages of the Organized Eugenics Movement for Human Betterment in Minnesota, and a 1936 book entitled Call for a New Social Order. In 1933 he sent a letter to Adolph Hitler and included with it one of his letters to the editor in which he commended Hitler's work in Germany. Dight died on June 20, 1938, in Minneapolis. He left his estate to the University of Minnesota to found what became the Dight Institute for the promotion of Human Genetics.

Lord, you are Creator and all life comes from you. The breath of life flowing from your Holy Spirit fills our beings and we stand each hour of each day because of the life you breath into each of us. You are the author and finisher of all life, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end and we come into this earth just as you designed for us to. Each of us having a purpose and a destiny to fulfill for your Kingdom. Father, as blood covered believers we renounce any way that we have closed our eyes to you as sovereign creator and allowed evil decisions to be made in this state and nation concerning lives that you breathed into being. We say to them, you have been overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of His Testimony. We release the righteousness of God into our land, we release the blood-covered judgments, truth and justice of God over these false rulers and we exalt You as King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords over the state of Minnesota.

HISTORICAL TIMELINE

1660’s French explorers and fur traders came and began trading with the Dakota's

1670’s the Ojibway tribe moved from Illinois to Minnesota and were in constant conflict with the Dakota.

1803 the US bought the Louisiana Purchase and Minnesota became part of the United States.

1805 Lt. Zebulon Pike sent to Minnesota to oust British fur traders and buy land from the Dakota, They were promised $200,000, but only given $2000 which they didn’t receive until 1819.

1849 the roots of the first Jewish community were established in St. Paul (formerly called Pig’s Eye, but later renamed Saint Paul) They were welcomed to the city and helped by the townspeople.

1849 St. Paul became the Capitol of the territory.

1850 SANDY LAKE TRAGEDY –following a culmination of events brought about by the federal government, about 400 Ojibwe , mostly men, died of disease, starvation and cold.

1851 Treaties of Traverse des Sioux and Mendota, ceded land in the Minnesota Territory from the Dakota in exchange for money and goods.

1856 First Jewish Synagogue established in St. Paul.

1857 Issac Nunez Cardoz, namesake and direct descendant of one of America’s most important and distinguished Jewish families arrived in St. Paul.

1857 half of the Jewish population left St. Paul due to the economic collapse from the failure of the Ohio Life Insurance Co., beginning the start of a national economic depression

May 11, 1858 Minnesota became the 32^nd state.

1859 St. Paul (the city built on 7 hills) became the official Capitol of Minnesota. There had been a bill passed to move the Capitol to St. Peter, but trader and legislator Joseph Rolette, didn’t want it there so he hid with the bill for a week, until it was too late for the Governor to sign it, making St. Paul the official Capitol.

1861 - April 29 – July 15, 1918 1^st Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, first state regiment tendered to the Fed. Gov’t. under President Lincoln’s call for 300,000 troops to fight in the Civil War. Their most famous battle was on 1863 (July 2) the Battle of Gettysburg where 215 of the 262 members were killed. It is the largest loss by any surviving military unit in American history during any single engagement. They continued to fight the next day and captured the colors of the 28^th Virginia winning the battle.

1862 Dakota Conflict/Mankato Hangings - Dakota Conflict, brought on because government annuities to the Dakota were late and often unfair, they had no food due to crop failure and could get no more credit from local traders. A small band attacked and killed a family at Acton Township in Meeker County. During the conflict 400 – 800 settlers were killed. It was said that until the terrorist attacks of Sep. 11, 2001, the civilian wartime toll from the Dakota Conflict was the highest in US history, excluding the Civil War and the beginning of many conflicts on the Great Plains between the Indians and settlers. Following the conflict the settlers were outraged and wanted all of the Indians involved hung. There was an original list of 303. President Lincoln intervened due to influence by Bishop Henry Whipple, Episcopal Bishop of Minnesota who had been working with the Indians, and cut the list down to 40, one received a pardon and another died. On Dec. 26, 1862 38 Dakota were hung in Mankato, site of the largest mass hanging in US history.

1863 In April of that year the US government declared all previous treaties with the Dakota null and void and undertook proceedings to banish the Dakota from Minnesota. Previous to that declaration almost 400 Dakota warriors were imprisoned in Mankato. During the trials 274 were converted and baptized by Missionary Gideon Pond and Dr. Williamson before they were sent to prison in the Iowa territory. Remaining convicted Indians were imprisoned in Illinois and held there for four years. By the time they were released 1/3 had died of disease. During this time 1600 Dakota women, children and old men, the neutrals and friendlies, were held at an internment camp near Ft. Snelling. During their march to Fort Snelling the Indians were often spit on or had water thrown at them and were hit by poles, pitchforks and axes. There is also a report of a woman from the town of Henderson grabbing a suckling baby from his mother’s arms and throwing it to the ground. The baby died from head injuries. (Henderson is right by the town of Le Sueur where W. W. Mayo lived, whose sons later helped to form the Mayo Clinic, which had a hand in legalizing abortion in America) In spite of these acts, hundreds of these Indians were converted as well. Almost 300 died due to poor conditions and disease. Resistance and battles continued with the Dakota until the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. In 2009, the Minnesota legislature passed a unanimous bill to have the Banishment repealed. The bill was signed and sent on to the Federal government because the banishment order was initiated from there. The bill is now in committee.

But we as the eternal saints of God in Minnesota join with our legislative officials and say to the Dakota and all Native peoples, “You are welcome here.”

1876 the James-Younger gang attempted a bank robbery in Northfield. This was outside of their usual territory. The townspeople grew suspicious of the 5 members standing outside the bank and took up arms. Frank and Jesse James escaped, the three Younger brothers; Cole, Jim and Bob were wounded. They split up around Mankato and the Younger brothers were captured west of Madelia. (We have roots of arresting lawlessness).

1889 W.W. Mayo’s sons William and Charles opened St. Mary’s hospital in Rochester

1919 Mayo Properties Association is formed (Mayo Clinic, which now serves people from all over the world)

1923 Charles Dight organized the Minnesota Eugenics Society and began campaigning for a sterilization law.

1925 Minnesota legislature passed a law allowing the sterilization of the “feeble–minded” and insane who were resident in the state's institutions. For the next several legislative sessions Dight fought unsuccessfully for expansion of the law to include sterilization of the “unfit” who lived outside of institutions.

1946 Minneapolis was named the anti-Semitic capitol of the US. In almost every area (mountain) of influence there is a separation between the Jewish and non-Jewish in Minneapolis. They are ineligible for membership in service clubs like; Rotary, Kiwanis and Toastmasters. There is lack of significant participation in dominant economic activity in this city compared to other cities around the nation of comparable size. St. Paul on the other hand has been called the spiritual capitol of the nation. Minneapolis and St. Paul have become the spiritual mecca for the spirit of Islam. St. Paul is also known as Paganistan. This root of anti-Semitism is the root that allows the religious spirit to work.

1968 The American Indian Movement (AIM) was started in Minneapolis.

1972 Harry Blackmun , former General Council for the Mayo Clinic, appointed to the Supreme Court by Pres. Nixon, was assigned by Justice Warren Burger, Minnesota native, to author the Roe vs. Wade decision, which became law in 1973, making first-term abortions legal in the US. The association to Mayo may have come out of W.W. Mayo’s actions following the Dakota Conflict. He was one of the presiding doctors during the time, following the hangings he dug up the body of Cut Nose and took it to his home to teach his sons about anatomy. (a common practice among doctors in those days)

1870 – 1920 the nation was fed from Minnesota wheat fields. Like other states this state has both redemptive giftings and a history of not walking in covenant with God. The city of Minneapolis once dominated the flour milling industry. But in 1906 the Lumber and Flour-milling industries donated a Poseidon-like statue, called “Father of the Waters” to the city of Minneapolis. The statue features symbolize the countryside where the river flows from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. The figure (that looks like a Greek god) reclines on a Native American blanket, leaning against the paddle wheel of a riverboat. He holds a cornstalk, and his head is adorned with a pine cone and leaf wreath. A fish net, an alligator and an aquatic turtle entangle his legs. The statue still resides just inside the atrium of City Hall. And upon retirement, those who have worked for the city get a miniature version of the statue.

Lord, as blood-covered, anointed believers filled with Holy Spirit, we connect with all the Holy Spirit inspired prayers of repentance that have gone up in reference to this idolatry in our land. We release the blood-covered, anointed truth and judgments of God upon this false god. And we declare that You alone are Father over the Mississippi River and this state.

REVIVAL HISTORY

1863 – May 10 – 30, Mills Revival in St. Paul. Up to 7000 in attendance on last night and 7/8^th rose to their feet attesting to the benefit of the meetings. 50 churches had united for the services.

1850’s and 1860’s - Minneopa Camp Meetings, between 3000–5000 attendees. This was a group of Welsh Calvinistic Methodists. Meetings were also held in Judson, South Bend, Ottowa, Le Sueur, Cambria and Minneapolis. They were called the “jumpers” because they jumped for joy. They built the Normal School in Mankato, now known as Minnesota State University, Mankato. They started the first newspaper in the territory in St. Paul known as the Minnesota Register. They helped to lay the 1^st foundations of the future State Capitol. It was said that the meetings had many manifestations of the divine presence.

1868 – 1888 “Red Rock”, now part of St. Paul, summer tent revival meetings with thousands in attendance from all creeds, colors, nationalities and economic status . Almost entire cities turned out. Amanda Smith, an African American evangelist and ex-slave was one of the preachers (Cindy Jacobs -Minnesota is anointed to break the spirit of racism, the gender barrier and the race barrier) These camp meetings influenced the political outcomes of the times. Because of these meetings there is an inscription on the Minnesota State Capitol Building stating:

“THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE VOICE OF GOD” (Cindy – Minnesota is called to tip the scales of government, to release a great awakening) Meetings waned, but continued until 1974.

Other camp meetings were held all over the state during the 18^th century.

1890’s – early 1900’s Scandinavian Pre-Azusa Street revival meetings held in at least 17 cities in the state. The meetings were marked with manifestations of the spirit, signs, wonders and miracles, conversions to Christ, deliverance from alcohol and marked by righteous living

1904 – 1934 Billy Sunday meetings in several cities in Minnesota

1940 Mordechi Ham visits Minneapolis and St. Paul, 2000 a night make decisions for Christ

1954 Pastor Gerald Derstine and a number of young people in the Strawberry Lake Mennonite Church in Ogema on the White Earth Indian Reservation, experienced unusual signs such as speaking in tongues and being slain in the Spirit. To this day they continue to hold gatherings with world renowned speakers.

1971 – Lutheran Charismatic Renewal held their first gathering at the Minneapolis Convention Center, they are now called Lutheran Renewal and continue to hold gatherings every year with world renowned speakers

1975 – Catholic Charismatic Renewal which led to the formation of several charismatic prayer groups around the state. The only one still meeting to my knowledge is a small group in Mankato called The River of Life.

1970’s Minnesota was also impacted by the Jesus People Movement. Coffee Houses sprung up; the one in St. Peter released a revival on the Gustavus Adolphus College campus. And there was the 2^nd Street Revival in Le Sueur.

PROPHETIC WORDS – paraphrased

This list is not complete, but the prophecies listed here remind us of what God has said and is saying to and about Minnesota.

2000 CHAD TAYLOR

I have remembered my covenant with those that prayed before. Revival was their cry, revival, my reply. Old wells are being re-dug, new wine and oil for healing are being poured out. There will be a great move in the youth; they will tear down the idols and high places. They will blaze a trail of revival and reformation. Opposition that has enslaved women is being broken. Control and witchcraft that have kept my David’s in the wilderness will be destroyed. Kings and Priests will now walk side by side in this coming revival. Minnesota will be an epicenter in coming days. It will be an apostolic headquarters. From this place they shall go to the uttermost parts of the earth, building bridges of revival. A prophetic river, running deep will come from Minnesota.

2001 CINDY JACOBS, North Heights Lutheran

Hab. 1:5, God wants to do a work here which will astonish the nations. A tremendous work of the Spirit is coming, like what was seen in the Jesus People day. It’s going to touch the government. Minnesota will be one of the first states to vote against abortion at a state level. God is going to use this state to change the nation. There’s going to be a sweeping move of Holy Spirit. Leaders will arise in government and business. There’s going to be a revival among the youth. There’s going to be revival in the high schools of Minnesota, stadiums will be filled. Many women will be raised up. The prayer movement will change. This will be a place of reconciliation where people from the nations come, red, yellow, brown. There will be a children’s revival. They will be on their faces crying out to God. There’s another Jesus People Movement coming – a double portion. There is a new sound arising.

2003 DUTCH SHEETS AND CHUCK PIERCE – 50 State Tour

God is calling Minnesota the Threshing Floor State. A place of harvest, judgment, shaking, testing, a place where the wheat and fruit come forth, favor, blessing, a place where judgment is stayed, plagues are stopped, a place of great victory, a place of intimacy, redemption, restoration, new beginnings, a place where debts are paid.

(Chuck Pierce) The hate group in this state will be exposed. 10,000 souls will be saved (this happened at the Luis Palau Crusade the following summer). A new sound will come forth, worship will shift if you gather people together 4 x’s this next year. Worship for 120 days, 30 days in St. Paul and the government will shift; 30 days in Minneapolis and the economy will shift, then 30 days each in two other cities.

Make room Minnesota, God is coming in! There will be a speech made in this state that will change the course of this land. This speech will be a speech that brings great division. But this speech will be from Me. I will release from this state a message that will travel down from the headwaters of the Mississippi that dwell in this state, down through this land. This speech will come through a government official and will change the course of this land. It will bring direction to this nation that will set its course for the next 40 years. I say, open up the way for My head to be displayed and My mind to be declared in this state.

I will raise up key government leaders and they will terrify the enemy’s plans. I will bring these 4 leaders together. There will be a unifying anointing on them. When they come together there will be no question who is doing this. And I will start sweeping across this state.

CINDY JACOBS – in Elk River

I call Minnesota the Revival State, I have not said this of any other state in the nation.

As the sons of God, we release the agreement with these eternal words of God for Minnesota. We release the light of God to expose those things that are hidden in darkness and call them into His light; and we release eternal government of God to establish righteousness in the land. We call forth the government leader that will make the speech that will change the course of this nation for 40 years. We call forth the four leaders who will come together and terrify the enemy’s plans.

2004 BARBARA YODER

Minnesota will be a model for taking our cities back for God. Minnesota is going to be in the middle of the revival, and not at the tail end. The presence of the Lord is in Minnesota. I am going to visit your ministries; your churches; your leadership; I’m going to visit you. I’m moving in, move over; make room for Me, Now. God is going to accompany what you do when He tells you to do it. He will confirm it with miraculous signs and acts. There will be further uncovering of corruption. Don’t be surprised, the pressure will intensify if people refuse to change. There will be further purifying of the government. As you continue to pray God will uncover a couple of pockets of underhanded dealing. People are making deals behind closed doors and God is going to uncover it. I ’m going to move in Mankato.

As believers, called of God we release the eternal righteousness of God into all of our spheres of influence. We stand in faith that God will perform His Word.

2007 CATHYJO SEVERSON - Jubilee Worship Center, St. Cloud

“I WANT Minnesota to be a Cancer Free Zone":  March 25^th, 2007 Minnesota is called to be a place of healing.  God wants us in Minnesota and at Jubilee to steward healing virtues.  I see a warehouse in heaven marked for the people of Minnesota. From that storehouse He will be giving us body parts and more. St. Cloud sits on the Mississippi and is located at the top of what is known as "Medical alley".  St. Cloud is on the northwestern end and Rochester is at the southeastern end of Medical Alley. St. Cloud’s destiny is to be a place of healing.

At the top of this state are the headwaters - Living Waters of Revival will flow (Baudette is strategic)

St. Cloud is on the Mississippi and in the strategic place to be impacted by that great outpouring.  We need to position ourselves in faith to capture that revival as it is carried on down in the current of God. I see people coming here, Minnesota and Jubilee for healing.  I see the map of Minn. Outstretched before me and people crossing over its borders and receiving their healing!

2007 BARBARA YODER (Starting the Year Off Right)

Mini-soda there’s not much fizz to Minnesota. I’m going to burn with a revival fire in Duluth. I’m going to release fire in Bemidji. I’m going to visit Itasca – The Headwaters of the Mississippi. It shall come from the North down. It shall come from the North over to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lift up your head oh you gates – gather the prophets. For there shall be a new prophetic wind that the apostles can take and run with. The Lord said, I will break the agreement of the Nordic gods from Scandinavia with the ancient Egyptian thing. They have come into agreement over Minnesota and that is why Islam could get into Congress. Read your old testament for God is about ready to literally break structures. Watch Itasca for backlash. Go there and break the power of Leviathan to strike back, for the tail is there.

As the soldiers of God with the mind of Christ and through the wisdom of God, we release the truth of God, the righteousness of God, the power of God and the reality of God to establish His eternal purposes in the state of Minnesota.

BOB JONES

The angel of Breakthrough Revival has been released in Minnesota.

MINNESOTA RIVER FLUSH – part of the Mississippi River Flush

The angel named Revival was seen on the Minnesota River on two separate occasions, once near Redwood Falls and once by Mankato. Neither group knew about the other.

Through the blood of Christ we agree that the Angel of Breakthrough and the Angel named Revival have been released in the state of Minnesota.

COLLAPSE OF I35 BRIDGE - Aug. 1, 2007

CHUCK PIERCE

Minnesota this is a time I am separating the tares, causing them to be seen. Your state has always been on the edge of liberal moves and it has affected the nation. Now things done in secret will be brought to the light. Things now will come down. Things will rearrange. Things will begin to break forth. This is a time I am rearranging and connecting places. The divine connection has begun in a new way. The old structures that connected you in relationships, religion and politics will now be disconnected and rearranged. This is a time I have now awakened a people that say, “we will go to the other side, no matter how we have to go!”

2008 ROBERT HEIDLER – dream he shared during Glory of Zion prayer time

He was playing a guitar, but the chords were not over the right words so it was very hard to play. Then he saw an old brick wall and someone had taken letters from old signs and fastened them to the wall to make the words and chords of the song. The first 3 chords were OK, but the 4^th one was the letter “N”, which is not a guitar chord. He then realized the rest of the letters made no sense either. All he could do was sing the first line of the song “MINNESOTA IS RISING”. I had no idea what God was saying. We continued to worship and said, if You are saying something is rising in Minnesota Lord, then we agree with You and declare it in the heavens. The interpretation God gave him was, “God has a song for you to sing.” This new sound arising will unlock bitterness and blockages of the past.

As blood-covered anointed believers filled with Holy Spirit we release the blood-covered anointed song of God for and over Minnesota. We release the blood-covered forgiveness of God to remove all bitterness. We release the blood-covered freedom of God unstopping all blockages of the past, present and future.

WARSHIP VISION by Karen Gibson during the Republican National Convention

Karen saw a warship below the Xcel center (where the convention was being held) on the Mississippi. It was a flagship – command center – the Lord’s War Room. The front of the ship looked like an icebreaker. There were 3 flags flying on the ship saying: Jesus is Lord over the Twin Cities; Jesus is Lord over Minnesota; Jesus is Lord over the United States of America. There were 3 rings on the flags, they were interlocked like those for the Olympics. They represented the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. She had a sense of Heaven invading the earth. Navy Seals, Rangers, Swat Teams, Apache Helicopters and Airplanes were being released. Teams would go do their assignments, come back and report and receive their next instructions. The Lord kept saying, “come on board, into My command room, the war council room and receive your strategies and weapons for war”. There were angels asking to be released. God released them and they went to the 4 corners of Minnesota. They stood shoulder to shoulder, lining the border and forming a covering of protection for those who were coming and going.

It was reported that during past revivals a warship had been seen as well.

2009 CINDY JACOBS

Minnesota, you are what I would call a “hinge of history”. A hinge of history is a strategic moment, a door of opportunity that releases the destiny of God for a generation. A hinge bears the weight of the door; the greatest stress is on the hinge. It is a great responsibility to be a hinge. The hinge serves the door; Minnesota is being called to serve the nation like Christ came to serve. A door of opportunity is getting ready to open that will give you National and International visibility. I am getting ready to shoot you like a flaming arrow. I’m getting ready to do a new thing with you. Minnesota is going to make movies. (There is currently one in the works called “Souvenirs”. It is being filmed in Mankato and is a story about Red Bull division of the National Guard, which is based there. They are renowned for their 22-month deployment, Sept. 2005 – July 2007 in Iraq, which was the longest stretch there since the war began. Another example of the mighty warriors God is raising up in Minnesota). I have given you a seer anointing to see and peer into the future. You are a state of Awakening and Reformation! You are called to AWAKEN the rest of the nation. God is on the move here. There is a great rumbling – an underground rumbling – a sound of shaking in the ground and God is getting ready to cause from nowhere, a greater army than was in the Jesus People Movement. They are going to awaken the nation. God is ready to release power, anointing and miracles like we have never seen. WAKE UP!!!!!

Lord says, “I am calling you to a fast, a fast that doesn’t stop. Every day someone must be fasting. I am calling you to put a stake in the ground and stand. Upon that stake is Righteousness and Justice. I am going to shift your legislature. Minnesota will be a pro-life state. Look to the southern part of Minnesota. I am going to do a work there. I’m going to sweep it with my glory. Look to the reservations for I am going to bring miracles, signs and wonders. I’m going to raise up women evangelists. They will preach like fire. They will be Fire Women. I’m going to bring revival in the Wicca community. Remember what it says on your Capitol, “The voice of the people is the voice of God”. Ask God what to do and do it.

2010 AWAKE MINNESOTA CONFERENCE

CHUCK PIERCE

I see fire on the water of this state (the Triumphant Reserve). You are going to begin to change how this nation thinks, drinks. You are going to begin moving out of the church structure into the community. There is a sound coming from Minnesota that will flow across this land. This sound separates, recreates, rushes, the enemy entrenched will be washed away. From here there will be a move to the East, West and South like a jackhammer to break up the hard ground of America.

He began to explain the picture God had given him of Minnesota. He said, Minnesota is the only state that had 3 colors. The top was gray like it had a dark veil over it. He said, watch the borders. The middle was yellow which signified it is filled with His glory. The south was dark blue which represents compromise (this compromise has occurred over and over again because of the spirit of intimidation that operates here). What happens in the south will determine what flows into other states. BUT, IT WILL SHIFT because of the glory that is in this state. God said what you see in this season you will say and it will manifest. Chuck shared about the 8 Freedom Outpost cities in Minnesota, and told us to study Isaiah. 55.

We, the believers in Minnesota, receive these words and promises from the prophets. And we release the plans and purposes of God to bring these words to fruition. We release the wisdom and knowledge of God and step out in obedience, faith and in the power of Holy Spirit to ensure that these words come to pass. We release the Eyes of the Lord to the North to watch our borders and the Holiness and Truth of the Lord to the South and say, “No more compromise”.

2010 JEFF JANSEN, Global Fire Ministries

The Lord revealed to him five angels that had been released in North America to bring revival fires to key cities. They will move along five key highways that crisscross the US. These highways will be known as Revival Highways. They have been released to facilitate the will of God on the earth. He named Interstates I 90 and I 94 in Minnesota. He said, as we continue to provide the fuel of love and holy awe to the moving of God, the atmosphere will become electric resulting in mass explosions of revival fires that will burn bright for nations to see. He also reminded us of William Seymour’s prophesy that within a 100 years of Azusa Street there would be a release of the Shekinah Glory of God that would burn brighter than what took place at Azusa. We say, “Yes, Lord, Yes!!”

2010, June Minnesota Strategic Coalition Meeting

Tom Gibson reported that the warship seen in 2008 was still in Minnesota. He also shared that he believed the Lord had been showing him that the time for the threshing floor was over and that we were now entering the time of war. The rest of the team agreed and the word lined up with a recent word by Chuck Pierce, that we are now entering a new 10 year season of war.

2010 CINDY JACOBS, North Heights Lutheran Church

Because you have been faithful and have been praying through the word the Lord gave in 2001, the bowls are full and about to be poured out.  I have been in many places just before revival has broken out and it feels like that here.  God is doing a work here, I've said it before, but you are a first fruits state, a revival state, a state where God is going to move first. Tonight feels like the 70's during the Jesus People Movement.  I say again, God is going to shift the government of this state for His glory.  You are going to be one of the first states to vote against abortion on a state level.  God is going to use this state to change the nation.  There will be revival fires in cities all across the state.  A sweeping move will come from the north.

This will not be a fatherless visitation, people will be filled with the love of God, submit to Him, submit to righteous authority and walk in humility.  Daniels and Josephs will arise in the government.  A media leader will arise and start many media groups here.  There is going to be a youth revival coming from here, there will be a childrens revival.  Flames of Holy Spirit will leap to Wisconsin, twinning Minnesota and Wisconsin for His purposes.  These flames will bring nations to Minnesota.  There is a cry for reformation coming forth.  There will be a businessman's revival.  You will feed and care for the poor and hungry.

Worship is the key, worshippers will come.  The Lord says, I have come to shift this state.  The anointing of glory is coming to Minnesota.  The glory of the Lord shall be revealed and you will release it.

CHUCK PIERCE – WORSHIP WARRIOR

We must ascend in worship and descend in war. God is calling us to bridge or connect worship and war. There is a sound in heaven that enables us to recognize, embrace and advance through this process. It moves us toward victory in accomplishing God’s will on earth. When we release the sound of worship, earth must respond. Just like in David’s time, new instruments will need to be invented to facilitate the new sound coming forth (from Minnesota). As we ascend we gain more revelation of who He is and what His will is for our lives (our state and our nation) on earth.

Chuck gives us three keys to operating in war:

- When it’s time for war, we must go to war

- We must know what the war is all about

- We must war from an abiding place (Ps. 91)

As blood-covered anointed worshippers in Minnesota, we rest in that abiding place. We release blood-covered worship to our eternal God and Father. We receive the mind of Christ, His plans, His purposes and His strategies, His wisdom and revelation and we obediently release His kingdom and His love on the earth.

FRIDAY: THE 7 MOUNTAINS

Is. 2:2 “IN THE LAST DAYS, THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD’S TEMPLE WILL BE ESTABLISHED AS CHIEF AMONG THE MOUNTAINS; IT WILL BE RAISED ABOVE THE HILLS AND ALL NATIONS WILL STREAM TO IT.”

SATURDAY: ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Ps. 34:1 “I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES; HIS PRAISE SHALL CONTINUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH.”

Minnesota has made significant contributions to comedy, theater, music and film. Several well- known actors, writers and musicians have been born here. In the 1980’s, 40 top hits were produced here. There are over 40 recording studios in the state. But it is time that this mountain is governed by the knowledge and glory of God.

We call forth and release blood-covered, anointed believers to come forth in the areas of dance, music, art, drama, theatre, painting, writing, singing, acting, producer, screen writers and modeling.

We call forth those believers who will not compromise their Godly standards, who are so influential and obedient to God that they reform this entire industry. Those, who, have the praise of the Lord continually on their lips. We release the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ into the hearts and lives of the kings and leaders at the top of this mountain, so that the entire industry would come into alignment with the eternal kingdom purposes of God.

SUNDAY: RELIGION

Our first prayer in this arena is for Israel since Minnesota previously was not a covenant state.

Ps. 122:6 “PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM: MAY THOSE WHO LOVE YOU BE SECURE.”

The believers in Minnesota, who now stand in covenant with Israel, release peace. We cover Israel the Jewish people with the blood of Christ and release the foreknowledge of God to them. We call them out of darkness and into His marvelous light. We release the riches of Christ to them that their eyes would be opened and they would see their Messiah.

Eph. 4: 4-6 “THERE IS ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT – JUST AS YOU WERE CALLED TO ONE HOPE WHEN YOU WERE CALLED – ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM: ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, WHO IS OVER ALL AND THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL.”

As the Sons of God we release the peace of God into this mountain. The factions have been at war far too long with one another. We release a spirit of cooperation and appreciation for one another’s differences. We release the truth that there is only one body, one spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. We also release into this mountain a spirit of alertness to be on guard and to know the times and seasons. We release into this mountain the understanding of the true kingdom of God and its operation on the earth.

MONDAY: BUSINESS

Minnesota has impacted the business mountain in many areas. Richard Sears co-founder of Sears & Roebuck was born here and one of the nation’s promotional geniuses. The Mayo brothers, who along with other doctors established the Mayo Clinic that treats patients from around the world. Taylor Corporation, IBM, 3M, the University of Minnesota, have made major advances in their respective areas. This is just to mention a few. This mountain unlike the others will provide the major finances or wealth for the kingdom of God to advance on the earth.

We call the economic system of this state and this nation to come into kingdom alignment with the eternal purposes of God.

Deut. 8:18 “BUT REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD, FOR IT IS HE WHO GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE WEALTH, AND SO CONFIRMS HIS COVENANT WHICH HE SWORE TO YOUR FOREFATHERS, AS IT IS TODAY.”

As the blood-covered, anointed heirs of God we release the wealth of God to believers working in this mountain. We release the light of the gospel of Christ to the heads of this mountain so there will be integrity and accountability in the business sector of this state. We release the continued development of Kingdom businesses that will aid in the transfer of wealth from the ungodly to the Godly for the use of the kingdom. We release the revelation of those natural resources that God has kept hidden for such a time as this, the oil wells, gold mines, diamond mines that were placed here by God for His purposes.

TUESDAY: FAMILY

Mal. 4:6 “HE WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN, AND THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THEIR FATHERS; OR ELSE I WILL COME AND STRIKE THE LAND WITH A CURSE.”

As blood-covered sons of God, we first of all turn our hearts back to our heavenly Father who has never turned His heart from us. We release the love of the Father to the influential heads of this mountain, the mothers and fathers of every family. We release the knowledge of the love of God that they would know who they are in Him. We release the proper positioning of fathers as leaders who lead their families in the ways of the Lord. We release the reminder of covenant and commitment between husbands and wives. We release a love and honor of children for their parents. We release the respect and honor between generations and the encouragement to help each other become all God has called them to be. We release the truth that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. We release the blood-covered justice and judgments of God upon those forces that are trying to destroy the family unit.

WEDNESDAY: EDUCATION

Deut. 11:18-20 “FIX THESE WORDS OF MINE IN YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS; TIE THEM AS SYMBOLS ON YOUR HANDS AND BIND THEM ON YOUR FOREHEADS. TEACH THEM TO YOUR CHILDREN, TALKING ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU SIT AT HOME AND WHEN YOU WALK ALONG THE ROAD, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN AND WHEN YOU GET UP. WRITE THEM ON THE DOORFRAMES OF YOUR HOUSES AND ON YOUR GATES, …”

In 1787 the Northwest Ordinance made rules for creating new territories. It called for support of education and stated, “Religion, morality and knowledge are needed for good government and the happiness of mankind.” No one had to persuade Minnesota’s early leaders that this was true. The territory passed a law stating that each place with at least 5 families had the right to form a school. They said, “Man should be educated for eternity.” By the 1890’s, in addition to the University of Minnesota, there were 9 small church supported colleges. Within 10 years, 7 more were added.

The first teacher in Minnesota was a Christian woman named Harriet Bishop. Her dedication to the Christian life was without question. Bishop's mission was to enhance the lives of women and children of Minnesota frontier though education that was centered in Jesus. Strangely enough the first woman instructor at the University of Minnesota, Maria Sanford, had a similar mandate in her life. A Puritan in thought and doctrine, Sanford was devoted to growth through educational excellence. Somewhere between the Bishop’s first school in Saint Paul and Sanford’s first lecture, Minnesota educators have forgotten the mandate from God of Deuteronomy 6 :” 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. (NIV)

As we approach the education mountain we need to remember that the children of this state are an entrustment from God. What is educationally bestowed upon the minds of learners is not as important as the spirit behind the imparted information. The true source of wisdom does not come to the mind from information gathered in one's life. Wisdom comes to the spirit from a spirit. Minnesota education is steeped in progressivism, liberalism, and secular humanism. In Minnesota it has become acceptable to teach any doctrine of man but the name of Jesus is not permitted on a public school campus. Therefore education is denying the generation a connection to true wisdom. The basic battle is to restore the God of creation to his rightful place in the education of this and future generations.

The foundation stone of Minnesota education was Christ. Other stones have been laid over that righteous footing. Our Prayer is: “Thy Kingdom come back to our education, on earth as it is in heaven.

As blood-covered, anointed children of God, we release the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ into our educational systems, beginning at the pre-school level and running through post graduate level. We release into this system the anointed teaching of the principles and the understanding of those principles of the Kingdom of God. To the tops of this mountain, those who make the decisions on educational material, we release the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the fear of the Lord. We release into our children the knowledge and wisdom of God and the boldness to stand up for what is true, holy and pure. We call the educational system to come into alignment with the eternal kingdom purposes of God on the earth.

THURSDAY: MEDIA

1849, Minnesota’s first newspaper, The Minnesota Pioneer, was in print.

1885 there was a newspaper started in St. Paul for Africa American readers called The Western Appeal.

1889 The Western Appeal went national.

Is. 52:7 “HOW BEAUTIFUL ON THE MOUNTAINS ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS, WHO PROCLAIM PEACE, WHO BRING GOOD TIDINGS, WHO PROCLAIM SALVATION, WHO SAY TO ZION ‘YOUR GOD REIGNS’”.

As the blood-covered, anointed believers filled with Holy Spirit in Minnesota, we speak into this powerful mountain that too often shapes the direction of this state and nation . We release blood-covered, anointed truth into every news report and to every reporter. We release the righteous judgments of God over these reports and reporters and call them into alignment with the eternal kingdom purposes of God. We call forth and release the blood-covered, anointed believers filled with Holy Spirit who will take up their position in this mountain and transform news reporting into preaching the ‘good news’.

We thank You Lord that we, Your Eternal Word on the earth, can release the presence of God. There for the love of the Father can exposure of all darkness in each of these mountains. Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you are bringing forth evidence and demonstration of what You are doing above, on and beneath the earth.

FRIDAY: GOVERNMENT

Is. 9:6-7 “…AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE UPON HIS SHOULDERS. AND HE WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.”

Minnesota has had a history of liberal politics. It is time for God’s government to be established under His headship.

As eternal beings, we call forth and release blood-covered, anointed righteous statesmen, judges and governmental leaders. We release them in the local, state and federal government arenas. We release the call for the unrighteous to either change their hearts and come into alignment with God or be removed from office. We release the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ into the hearts and lives of the kings and leaders at the top of this mountain. We release the righteousness of God to eradicate corruption which will in turn establish justice and eradicate poverty. We release the blood-covered truth, justice and judgments over this mountain. We release the exposure of every form of manipulation and under-handed dealings. We release the Light of God to bring those things hidden in darkness, into the light.
