On the 25th of March, the Firewall Team (Gatekeepers Prayer & Intercession Ministry) made their way down to the Courts to pray. There were specific prophetic acts & scriptures that God had placed on our hearts to pray & decree over the courts & the city.
There was great excitement, as we piled into one car and drove to the courts. I shared a little about the mission of the court which is the implementation of justice in our society. As we continued to share about this – we noticed lightning in the sky. I was immediately reminded of the scripture in Luke 10:18 where Jesus told His disciples that ‘He saw Satan fall like lightning.’ I felt led to pray that the lightning in the natural would be a sign of God shaking and displacing demonic powers over our city.
After the team prayed over two bottles of anointing oil, we got out of the car and separated into four groups. We agreed to mainly pray for justice & righteousness, Christians to be raised up in the courts (in influential positions), prisoners to receive a touch from God and above all for laws to be passed in favor of the Kingdom.
As we began to walk, pray, decree and anoint the walls, steps, pillars and ground with oil – it began to drizzle. One group walked around the building, some prayed at the entrance of the courts, some prayed for the judges (whose names were written on a board outside the building) – and as we did, the weather around us began to change. From a slight drizzle – it was now raining so heavily that we decided to head back to the car.
As we walked to the car, huge pieces of hail (ice) began to fall. This hasn’t happened for years in our city – and as the Firewall team stood outside hearing the thunder, seeing the lightning & feeling the heavy rain & hail – it felt like there was a war going on around us. We felt our faith levels soar – and continued to pray in the car – for the plans and purposes of God to come to pass in the courts & in our city.
We are so thankful to God for showing up the way He did.
We will continue to pray until His kingdom comes & His will is established in our city & nation.
