We are going into battle against our enemies to take back what has been stolen from us.
We are awakening from the "matrix" of cultural Christianity and taking our place as disciples of Jesus Christ who are preparing the way for His return.
We are taking the Presence of God into every aspect of Life, and charging the atmosphere around us with the atmosphere of heaven.
We are going into prisons, hospitals, schools, bars, family reunions, and office parties with the message of hope, help, and eternal life by His blood.
Strategy for the Heartland:
Teach, equip, train, release
Find a curriculum that teaches Kingdom and not church.
Pray, decree, worship,
Be an awakening voice to your sphere of influence
Be a spiritual father to the next generation
Find your alignments
Find your stream
Find your tribe
Be under authority somewhere
In your region, connect with a regional leader for the release of vision and corporate anointing.
Find out where you are to serve and do it.
Let the Lord enlarge your vision from building a ministry to advancing the Kingdom.
Hear the Lord about how to do that.
Seek Divine connections with key leaders in each sphere of influence
Raise up prayer teams who are not isolated or competitive, but connected and submitted.
Be a part of the bigger picture!
Join with Missouri Prayer and other strategic alliances for unity, vision, and equipping.
Worship and Prayer Gatherings in each university campus
Decree Lordship of Jesus Christ in our governmental establishments such as courthouses, Capitol Buildings
Prayerwalk our schools
We will be dealing with death structures in each region as the Lord reveals these.
Foundational Decisions to Raise up Age-Old Foundations in Missouri:
"When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do ?" Psalms 11:3 Raise them up again!!

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. " Isaiah 58:11-12

Missouri Prophecies
Prophetic Word released during the Awakening and Reformation Tour at Life Christian Church in St. Louis:
"A new gate has opened in the gateway state. It is a gate that swings in. It swings into the ways of God, into the purposes of God, into the Presence of God. It swings into life and that LIFE will sprout and grow and overwhelm and overthrow the culture of death in this nation. This new gate swings on hinges. It has hinged on your intercession; it has hinged on your obedience. It has hinged on perseverance. This LIfe that has sprouted will be released to and through the next generation. From Missouri. the Show Me Your Glory State to the nation."
Supernatural deliverance is going to fall on this state. It’s going to fall on the younger generation. Take off your mourning clothes! Take off your grieving clothes! I’m getting ready to SHOW OFF in the Show Me State.
Barbara Yoder, April, 2009
We are entering a day of "sound". It’s absolutely critical that we get out of our sound into GOD’S sound. There is a sound that’s going to go into the middle of darkness this hour that will set insane people free, that will set the demoniac free. I declare that Missouri will hear that sound, then you will no longer have meetings but HOLY CONVOCATIONS.
Barbara Yoder, April 2009
You are entering into worship that I like, that literally rings my bell. As you move in that worship, I shall take over your services. I shall create healing. There will be times when you will not even be able to speak, for the thickness of the Presence of God.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. For you have developed a worship of earth, but I am going to bring the worship of heaven.
This state will be known as one who opened the prison doors...what I do in this state and how I use this state will tingle the ears of this nation.
Chuck Pierce, October 2003
I am setting a course in Missouri that will control and open up the gates of this land!
Chuck Pierce, October 2003
God is going to show His glory to the SHOW ME state.
Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheet October, 2003
There is already a GROUND SWELL of the cry of the Lord in Missouri. All you have to do is begin to cry out "COME TO MISSOURI!"
Barbara Yoder, March, 2009
I am going to save your children! I am going to save your children’s children! I am on the way!
Barbara Yoder, March, 2009
There’s a voice coming forth from this State. It’s a voice that is crying out in the wilderness of America. It’s a voice crying out in the Heartland saying, "We are a Godly Nation! We are a Nation that’s coming forth on the Word of God. We are not going to move away from what God has designed for us. We are going to stand in the State of Missouri. We’re going to decree who is Lord."
Regina Shank, March 2009
Miracles will begin to break out in unlikely places. The supernatural is going to invade the natural realm.
Regina Shank, March 2009
We’ve been interceding and the bowls are full, and they’re tipping over and lightnings and thunderings and the Glory of God is being released into the earth, God. We say "Yes" Lord. Show us Your glory!
Regina Shank, March 2009
I shall have "break-out" places all along the Mississippi. It shall become like a river of LIFE in this nation. There will be boats of worship that travel on the Mississippi River and there shall be revival that breaks out all along the Mississippi River. It shall be like a river of LIFE. There shall be baptisms that begin to take place in the Mississippi River.
Barbara Yoder, March, 2009
You are going to take over the boating industry of the Mississippi River.
Barbara Yoder, March 2009
I am going to release the angel over St. Louis and I am going to visit St. Louis. I am going to show up. I am going to break out in the darkest part of the city. Even NOW I am planting ministries in the inner city. I am going to cause a revival to occur in the inner cities. I shall break out on the left. I shall break out on the right.

Covenant with Israel!
Israel was made a nation in 1948 by President Harry S. Truman, the man from Missouri.
Our commitment to Israel has been decreed on that land.
September 11, 2001
May 24-June 9, 2006
Norma Ramey travels regularly to Israel. She took a decree from Missouri that stated our commitment and covenant with Israel. She also took a bottle of Missouri wine to pour on the land as a symbol of that covenant.
St. Louis - The Ship Nobody Wanted
On June 3, 1939, the German ship St. Louis brought refugees from Europe to America. This ship was carrying 900 Jews who were seeking refuge here from persecution and death. That ship was turned away and had to return to Germany where 1/3 of them perished in concentration camps.
This refusal to help convinced Hitler... he would not be opposed.
Although many Jewish refugee ships were denied entry by western nations and forgotten, the St. Louis saga was well publicized and exploited by the Nazis for propaganda. The St. Louis snub helped convince Hitler he could launch his Final Solution without opposition from the West.
Repentance
In 2004, there was a repentance and a letter of apology read to survivors and/or descendants of those who were on this ship. We (Missouri) sent a representative and a letter of apology as well. But now from St. Louis, we must recognize our dullness of heart and our call to care for all who are in need. Missouri has a call to comfort and give refuge to those in need.
"There shall be a comfort that comes from this state to the nation."
Barbara Yoder, June 2008
This is a prophetic picture of our call to carry the Jewish nation to safety. This can be done in intercession, with acts of kindness, and with understanding of their role as God’s chosen people. We have been grafted into the olive tree through the blood of Jesus Christ. We who were not a people are now the people of God. To the Jew first, then to the Gentile.
"Missouri is going to welcome in Israel. And in the midst of it there's going to be a changing complexion of the Jewish root of this nation. I will begin to release many, for there will be a major gathering in St. Louis that begins to realign the course of the church: Jew and Gentile, and I say, many will come, and the Natives will welcome in the Jewish people into this land. The Messianic church of this land will culminate in its progression in St. Louis, and you will see that I have chosen Missouri to display the glory of the future of this nation."
Prophetic Word from Chuck Pierce, June 2008
Covenant Root Going Deeper
Lord,
We acknowledge our sin of apathy, hardness of heart, and lack of love toward others. Specifically we ask for forgiveness for turning away those who were seeking refuge on our shores. Our namesake, the St. Louis carried Jewish passengers to America and we turned them away. This act was used to give impetus to Hitler. Forgive us Lord. We acknowledge our guilt and ask for your cleansing blood to cleanse away this iniquity from our nation and from the soil of Missouri.
Blessing of Abraham…We bless Israel!
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:2-3
