The LBI National Strategic Prayer Call is the apostolic prophetic instrument of Lightbearers International for strategic level intercession with a mandate to release God’s throne room strategies over God’s Household, and the nations of the earth. We are releasing the Father’s heart in alignment with His purposes and promises for the nation of Israel. This is a NOW season -- This is a NOW time -- We are releasing a NOW WORD!

NATIONAL STRATEGIC PRAYER DEVOTION “Praise God for his astonishing gift, which is far too great for words!” (2 Corinthians 9:15, the Passion Translation) Do you truly DISCERN the TIMES and the SEASONS? The radiant lights, tantalizing scents, and familiar tastes of the holidays are all around us. For a moment just recall the smell of Grandma’s turkey basting in the oven, the joy in decorating Mom’s Christmas cookies, the warmth of cinnamon candles burning as the fireplace logs crackle, and the aroma of fresh evergreen trees sparkling with lights that seem to dance with joyful anticipation. Bliss and joy through experiencing family traditions are treasured by many as love is shared and memories are created! Even the fragrance industry understands the “magic” of the season, and gift sets can be seen stacked upon retail counters. And extravagant giving is marketed to say “I love you” as jewelry stores remind us “A Diamond is Forever” for those “Hearts on Fire”. Beloved, if the world sees and discerns the Advent Season through the lens of marketing and materialism . . . HOW MUCH MORE should WE as believers in Jesus cause the reality of the “Greatest Gift” ever given to be seen and HIS TRUTH REPRESENTED by our words, in our thoughts, and through our deeds! “For this is how much God loved the world—he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life." (John 3:16 TPT) We are being beckoned to carry the FRAGRANCE of His PRESENCE and ANOINTING upon us as literal PERFUME. Do you sense His drawing you to come closer as a “broken vessels of honor” fit for the Master’s use? SELAH. Let us hear the Spirit asking us NOW . . . “What FRAGRANCE are you wearing?” “God always makes his grace visible in Christ, who includes us as partners of his endless triumph.Through our yielded lives he spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go. Wehave become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God—a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing.” 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 The Passion Translation (TPT)--------------------------------- Additional Scripture Passages for Meditation and Prayer: SS 1:2-4 SS 4:9-10 John 12:3 --------------------------------- Marisa A.

“7 KEYS - 7 DECREES - 7 DAYS”
An Intercessory Strategy Leading Us to Passover
April 2 - April 8, 2020
Oh come, let us go up! By faith Abraham ascended Mount Moriah, to the very place the Temple would one day stand to offer His only son saying, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb” (Gen. 22:8). David went up to the threshing floor of Ornan, the place King’s Solomon temple would later be built, to make an altar and bring sacrifices declaring “I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer that which costs me nothing . . .And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel” (2 Sam. 24: 24-25). And Jesus made His ascent, by faith in His Father’s plan, unto Jerusalem at the Passover season to be sacrificed as the perfect, spotless Lamb of God.
As we remember today the protection of the Ark of His presence; the blood applied on the doorposts and lintels on the homes of the Israelites as the death angel passed over; and the Blood of Jesus NOW applied to the mercy seat . . .Let us use the KEYS to ASCEND, INTERCEDE, and make DECREES by FAITH over our families, communities and our nation! “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom 6:23). “And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance” (Heb. 9:15). BEHOLD THE LAMB! And “They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads” (Rev 22:4). AMEN
Note: There are many “keys” throughout the Psalms of Ascent. On this, our final day in the intercessory strategy leading us to Passover, we are purposely citing only chapters without referencing specific verses within the “Keys and Decrees” portion below. Our prayer is that the reader would diligently search out hidden riches contained within these Psalms. Decrees have also been omitted in order for the reader to seek the LORD, listen and obey, and DECREE the keys He gives and directs! “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” (Prov. 25:2 KJV) May we continue as Kings and Priests unto the LORD ascending toward His glorious throne and soaring in the spirit of wisdom and revelation from glory to glory even forevermore!
FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURES:
Gen. 7:7 “Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark”
Ex. 12:3 “take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, a lamb for ea(ch household”
Job 22:28 “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.”

( I / WE) DECREE . . .
4. PSALM 126 & 127: When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream . . .The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad. . .

For the LORD has chosen Zion: He has desired it for His dwelling place: This is my resting place forever; Here I will dwell . . .Behold how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing, Life forevermore. ( I / WE) DECREE . . .
DAY 8 - PASSOVER - The 50th Key and Decree:
PSALM 134 - BEHOLD, Bless the LORD All you servants of the LORD, Who by night stand in the house of the LORD! Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the LORD. The LORD who made heaven and earth, Bless you from Zion! ( I /WE) DECREE . . .
THE PRIESTLY BLESSING (Num 6:22-27)
And the LORD spoke to Moses saying; “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the say you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
AMEN AND AMEN!
