Author Francis Frangipane penned a question in his book “This Day We Fight”. He asked the Lord about the birthing of the “Jesus Movement” that he was a part of, how did that begin? He understood that all the great revivals of the past, The Welsh Revival, Azuza Street, The First and Second Great Awakening began with a praying people. Throughout these revivals, many tears, groans and prayers went up to heaven much of which flowed from the hearts of women across the world. He wanted to know who were the prayer warriors of the 1970’s?
The Lord responded to Him quite simply saying “I heard the prayers of a million praying mothers on their knees for their children prying them out of the clutches of the world”. Oh, what the Lord can do with the desperate heart of a mother! The question is, are we desperate enough to do the same today? Most certainly the world is swallowing our children and grandchildren up at record speed and we hold the same key in our hands as these mothers of the 70’s did, prayer!
Now is time for the travailing women to arise for a lost and dying generation being destroyed by horrors that mothers of the 70’s could not have imagined. As always, the attack is the same, against their identity as sons and daughters of God, but the methods have become more evil as the increasing darkness settles over the nation. Are there still Hannah’s who will lay aside personal needs and desires to seek the Lord for His? Deborah’s who will gain strategy, Anna’s who press in day and night, desperately barren women like Elizabeth, Sarah and Rachel that will not stop contending until they are pregnant with hope for the future? What about Esther’s who called a fast to pray laying aside status and position saying, “if I die, then I die”!! Are we as women willing to lay down our personal comfort, agendas, ministries, and lifestyles to incorporate dedicated days of prayer and fasting to save our children?
For generations, women have been in the obscure places of ministry often exiled out of public influence, yet the Lord is “El Roi” the God who sees. He has seen them silenced and oppressed, but silencing is like barrenness, it increases the desire to release the Word as it continues to stir inside of us. And oppression, well it has a way of refining and empowering the word that when it comes forth, it changes the environment.
Our God Yahweh is mobilizing an army of these warring women to stand against the atrocities that have befallen our nations, and particularly in America where the vileness seems to be accelerating at a rapid pace. A million women, a million daughters of God coming together making the Psalm 68:11 proclamation of the Lord as sends His Word, and a great company of women proclaim it. Will we be that woman? Will we engage with heaven to bring the Righteousness of the Kingdom to the earth? Will we unite with sisters all over the world in small groups, zoom prayer, prayer in the home, in our state capitals and ultimately in Washington D.C. in 2024 to seek the Lord like the mothers of the 70’s?
The clarion call has gone forth, what will be your answer!
