1. The Spirit of God is releasing new revelation from Missouri for worship in Spirit and truth and for the apostolic and prophetic foundation …to restore a dwelling of God in the Spirit (quote from a prophetic word from Kansas to Missouri, 5/15/02).   Please pray that the foundations will be repaired in this state in preparation for the building of a dwelling of the Lord and for a continued release of the Lord's Heart from the "heartland".
   
   
2. Missouri is called the "show me" state.  Please pray that the Lord will show us His ways, that we will walk in His glory, as we cry out as Moses did in Exodus 33, "show me Your glory," that as a state, we will know the Truth, and the Truth will set us free, that we will not go forward without His Presence going before us.
   
   
3. Missouri is the physical "gateway to the west".  Pray that we will be diligent to our call as "gatekeeper" to discern when to open and when to close the spiritual gateways of Missouri.
   
   
4. Missouri has been the headquarters for white supremacist groups.  Please pray that racism will be eradicated from the state, that the roots of fear that fuel this hatred will be removed through the "perfect love of the Lord."
   
   
5. Please pray for unity within the state that Psalms 133 and John 17 will be a reality throughout Missouri.
   
   
6. Please pray that we will offer to the Lord the first fruits of our lives, and rejoice in the harvest He sends both naturally and spiritually.  Isaiah 9 
   
   
7. Please pray that perversion will not have a stronghold in Missouri, that we will walk the "highway of holiness" (Isaiah 35). Pray for families, homes, and relationships to be held together through knowledge and application of the ways and purposes of God.
   
   
8. Please pray for the harvest to come forth in Missouri, that every person will have opportunity to hear and receive the gospel of the Kingdom, salvation through the blood of Jesus.
   
   
9. Pray that the body of Christ in Missouri will rise to their calling, that the five fold ministry will come forth, functioning together as the Lord originally designed.  Ezekiel 37
   
   
10. Pray that the "river of God" that flows from His throne will flow through this state.  Ezekiel 47
    
    

We made five foundational decisions for Missouri in strategic locations as the Lord directed us, based on Isaiah 58. Please be in agreement that the foundation stones will continue to be in place.

Decision one:  We chose the Presence of God and not the programs of men based on Exodus 33.  The decision for the Presence of God was made October, 2000 in Bolivar, MO.

Decision two:  We chose the law of life in Christ Jesus and not the law of sin and death based on Romans 8.  This decision for Life was made April, 2001 in Hannibal, MO.

Decision three: We chose the Spirit of Truth in our state and not the spirit of deception based John 14. The decision for the Spirit of Truth was made December 7, 2001 in Independence, MO.

Decision four:  We chose to operate by the fruits of the Spirit and not the works of the flesh based on Galatians 5. The decision for the fruits of the Spirit was made April 20, 2002 in Cape Girardeau.

Decision five:  We chose the Kingdom of God which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit and not the kingdom of man, manipulation, domination, and control based on Romans 14:17. This decision for the Kingdom of God was made in Columbia, MO in 2002.

Please pray that these foundational decisions will carry much weight in the Spirit, and that Isaiah 58:11-12 anointing will be upon us. "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun scorched land and will strength your frame. You will be like a well watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets and Dwellings.
