2012 Initiatives
Because of YOU, much ground was taken for the Kingdom of God, and His purpose for our state and region was advanced in 2012.
We came together...uniting to give honor to Him...we sought His face...worshipped Him...decreed His Word and the spiritual climate has accelerated in our state.
Thank YOU, for your sacrifice of prayer on behalf of our communities, state and nation. And more importantly, for what it means to the generations to come...may they know HIM. Psalm 19:7-11, Psalm 119.
· January - A Year of Unity and Covenant
Knowing we only stand upon the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we began the year on 1/12/12 by HONORing some of the Generals from different prayer ministries at a gathering in my home, groundbreakers and forerunners who have walked, prayed and persevered in this state. We felt the Holy Spirit was highlighting for the coming year:
UNITY- His desire was for us to honor one another, and be united for His Kingdom purposes. We were to unite the different groups, networks, etc. honoring each one for the piece they bring as a part of the tapestry/quilt the Lord was forming across the state.
COVENANT- All nations reconcile around Israel. Being in covenant with the God of Israel and the people of Israel is our heart.
January-June 2012 Isaiah 22: The Eliakim Shift
For 40 days from January 1st thru June we prayed over every Primary and Caucus in each state. On March 6, 2012, Tennessee took the lead in praying over our state Primary and the nation. Thank you to all who joined in the nightly prayer calls and for your place on the wall in this state! Because of YOU, our state shifted.
Summoning Eliakim
"Then it will come about on that day that I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah. And I will clothe him with your tunic, and tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority and HE WILL BECOME A FATHER to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the house of Judah" (22:21). The name Eliakim means "God of arising" or "God of awakening." God chose Eliakim specifically because he had the heart of a shepherd. He would perpetuate the covenantal legacy of David. As a father, instead of using his constituents for his own gain, he would divest of himself to invest in their well-being. By this he would mentor two primary spheres-the capital of Jerusalem, and the house of Judah-the house of praise. Awakening and transformation would be released!
· HAPN- Chicago 50 - Releasing Awakening Fire from Passover to Pentecost
April 9, 2012 - May 28, 2012 50 days of daily prayer calls releasing light into every corrupt gate in the nation. Releasing power of eternal truth into structures built upon deceit. Calling for darkness to be Exposed.
On April 24, 2012 TN was appointed to lead prayer on Welfare. Understanding Deut. 28:1-14, we repented for breaking covenant and coming out of agreement with heaven and into agreement with the curse. We repented for using resources to fulfill our every want, for a sense of entitlement, for using our blessing to further our own comfort and lifestyle, not understanding every resource has Kingdom purpose. We repented for turning away or a blind eye to the poor, fatherless and widow, for not being the true church operating in kingdom principals, for reliance upon and dependence upon a government system rather than upon Almighty God. We thanked Him that He is a God of everlasting Covenant who revealed Himself throughout the Old Testament and NT, and a generational God, who revealed Himself through Jesus, the messenger/mediator of the New Covenant and thanked Him for the seal of that Covenant, Holy Spirit. Gen. 15:1-8, Deut. 4:12, Jer. 21:31-33, 38-40, Mal. 3:1, Ez. 36:27, Heb. 10:11-14, Acts 1:4-8. Together, we released the FIRE OF THE HOLY ONE over Tennessee and the nation and with thankfulness in our hearts we released Deut. 8:18 over His burning ones.
· March 23, 2012 Nat. Day of Prayer Summit
We united at the NDP Prayer Summit with Lynn Jacobs, Sarah Lowe, Becky Fortner, Gail Duron, Marlene Tidwell, Kay Durham, Marion Farrar, Sharon Skaggs, Susan Carter and many others.

· March 30, 2012 Occupy for Jesus
On sight prayer at Legislative Plaza in Nashville where the protesters had set up tents, we prayed, divorced Baal including Writ, and occupied Nashville for Jesus!
· April 6, 2012 100th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh
Although last year we prayed at every Civil War battle in the TN during the HAPN 11:11 Campaign, with April 6, 2012 being the 150th anniversary of civil war, TNRPN joined with Deborah Brunt and returned to one of the bloodiest civil war battle sites to date. Knowing the enemy's desire to re-ignite civil war among the peoples of the land, we returned again. Not only for a time of repentance, but repentance of the blood-guilt from the church's acceptance of slavery and uniting the spirit of religion once again with the political spirit when it comes down to money and who controls it. We repented, prayed and poured out communion on the land. We ended the assignment in Shiloh Church, the little log Methodist church that gave the battle its name. Together we declared His Word and prayed Jehovah Shaloam across the land.
· April 17, 2012 TN Governors Prayer Breakfast
TNRPN joined in prayer with Marlene Tidwell and TN Governmental Prayer Alliance in praying for our Governor and our elected officials.
· May 13, 2012 Vision of God's Army
During worship service in my home church the presence of Holy Spirit became heavy in the room. Immediately I turned to my husband and said, "It's the sound of the Army of the Lord!" and when I turned back immediately I saw (in a vision) what looked like a large group of people all lined up in formation several people wide. My view was from a perspective of behind and slightly elevated so that I could see the people forming uniform rows in front of me (being short I can usually only see a couple rows) it looked like several hundred people.
I asked the Lord, "Where is the standard? What standard is this army marching under?" Immediately it zoomed in on one man in the front and center holding up a white banner and on that banner was written JESUS in red lettering. In my mind I thought, "that's it? One tiny banner for this huge army?" I instantly felt ashamed and embarrassed the Lord heard what and I said, quickly I said in my heart, "not that the name of the Lord is small, I didn't mean that, God..." and before I could finish groveling in my mind I heard the voice of Holy Spirit say, "Look closer". Immediately my eyes went to the people in formation. On the left arm of every one of them was a white arm band with JESUS written in red on it. I heard the Lord say, "Every one of them marches under My banner themselves. Not just one person out front." At that moment I knew that each person I was looking at was an individual that knew the Lord personally, knew exactly what they were doing there, and exactly what the cost to themselves would be. No one in this group was 'drafted' in, or were there for any other reason other than the Love of HIM who has given us all.
As I looked from person to person I was surprised at the number of young people in the lines, all ages, all races, all sold out to the One whom we love, and lots and lots of young people.
With that, the army starting moving forward. When it did, I started rising up so that my view was that of like a panoramic view that expanded a vast distance to the left and right. As I looked I saw multitudes of people coming (in ranks) to join the army, from the left and from the right. I could see it was a huge army all marching forward together.
I had two immediate impressions. 1) I saw the old 'Uncle Sam wants you' poster and heard the words 'Holy Spirit wants YOU'.... I felt it was a call to those who are not intimate with Him to come into a deeper place with Him and His purpose. 2) I felt a word for those that have known HIM and are intimate with HIM; Do not become weary, do not hesitate, AS YOU MOVE FORWARD others will join you.
· May 2012 Vision of shofar across TN
On May 19, 2012 while at a prayer gathering for strategy for the state. The Lord showed me the state of Tennessee, across the state was a shofar. The mouthpiece was in Chattanooga and the shofar extended to west TN. I felt the Lord say, He was going to release His sound across the land beginning in Chattanooga. It would be the native sound of the land from that area...as it moved to middle TN it would be the sound of the land there added to it, and as it moved to west TN it would be the sound of the land there. I asked the Lord, what part did I have, if any? He gave me Nehemiah 4:20 "Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us." I knew the Lord was confirming we are to unite and help one another as we are able, as each of us fulfills the different assignments God has asked us to do. I then committed the TNRPN-HAPN to help partner with Bettye Lundquist of His Warrior Bride and Global Spheres to help in any way we could with the Taking Captivity Captive gathering to come in Chattanooga.
· July 15, 2012 Cry Out Nashville

· July 27-29, 2012 Taking Captivity Captive
TNRPN was privileged to serve with Bettye Lundquist of His Warrior Bride, and so many across the state and southeast region in the gathering 'Taking Captivity Captive-Native Healing Sound of the Land-Cry of the Bride' held at Coolidge Park, Camp Jordan, Chattanooga and Red Clay in Cleveland, TN. On the land where trauma from the Trail of Tears and Civil War has affected the whole nation and every Native and African nation, and the land where the Brainerd Missionaries, groups of native, black and white-who made covenant with God and kept it, fighting the evil of the Trail of Tears all the way to the Supreme Court and winning, only to be betrayed by the President of the U.S., Andrew Jackson. We came together in the opposite spirit from that which caused all these curses... and we met with God. Uniting in this first layer of Worship to Him with our Sounds of Worship, equally honored in beautiful symphony, and Prayer, moving together to release freedom to what was once held captive in bondage, and healing to His people and His land. Agreeing that YHWH never forgets covenant, we chose to love, honor and respect one another.

Lynn Jacobs, Pastor Jim Laymon, Genendal Fratantuono, Pastor Yaqub Masih at the Foundry and State Capitol for a day of Prayer and Fasting for our state.

· Oct. 4-6, 2012 Awakening for a Kingdom Shift
TN along with AL and MS hosted a 3-day regional gathering 'Awakening for a Kingdom Shift' during the Feast of Tabernacles. Awaken the Watchman, Assemble the Army of the Lord, Gather the People for Strategy, was the theme with speakers including Cindy Jacobs, James Goll and Kamal Saleem, with amazing Worship from Nashville team led by Jeff & Suzanne Whatley and Tina Bolinger. Three months before the conference, the Lord showed MS RPN coordinator Mildred Bean and Ruthie Young the three-state region formed the shape of an 'anvil'. They felt we were to build an altar/platform of worship for Him to manifest as the "Most High Blacksmith", sensing that Samuel 13 was important, because the Philistines had kept Israel under bondage by not allowing them to have any blacksmiths to make weapons.
Accordingly, a one-hundred-year old anvil was placed on the platform at the conference and decrees were made striking the anvil with hammers from several states. The decrees rang out God's time for a new sound and a shift in each state of the region toward the Kingdom. TN released two decrees- because of our standing with Israel, a state receiving God's Covenant Blessing and the Spirit of Adoption. As state leaders struck the anvil, sparks actually flew, as if the hammers were gavels, and God was using the states as His anvil to forge His instruments for war-His armor, shields, keys, and harvest tools.
Cindy taught on our authority from Ephesians about being seated in heavenly places with Christ over all principalities. The next day she spoke on the Kingdom of God and land issues that are affected by iniquitous structures. Kamal had a powerful testimony about His conversion, and shared several visions/dreams to encourage us regarding this nation. At the same time, He gave sobering statistics regarding Islam, along with interesting revelation about Saudi Arabia targeted by Iran, and Turkey arising into power of the old Ottoman Empire. He and James Goll both spoke out of Psalm 83. Seeing the anvil on the platform, Kamal told us that his father had been a blacksmith and that he himself as a child had worked with him. Only God could have orchestrated that!
James Goll shared if you want to be close to the heart of God, be close to His people. We lose
sight/vision when we poke God in the apple of his eye. Zechariah 2:8. He called forth the shields of the earth into place, the shields belong to God. There was a wonderful fresh anointing and commissioning released to AWAKEN, to Stand as Watchmen, and to build a Prayer Shield, especially for Israel. Many prophetic decrees over our nation were unlocked, using a key, that Mike Jacobs had recently been given while he was in Israel, as a prophetic symbol of unlocking.
Cindy Jacobs released this Prophetic Word for Tennessee:
"...The Lord says daughter, don't be weary in this battle. For God says I give TN the anointing to turn the nation. The legislature of this state is going to propose a plan that is literally going to be modeled across America. The Lord says TN will draw a line in the sand. A red line. Stand for Israel. God is going to begin to bless this state in ways that are unusual. There will be signs of productivity come to TN. And God says to you that there are whole cities that have gone down economically that will begin to prosper. It will be a wonder, says the Lord...
...And God says I am going to raise up the next generation. The youth in TN are going to arise. You are going to be a mother to a new generation of young people. This movement is going to be a very young movement in TN. And God says that even I am going to give you high school students. I am going to move in elementary schools. God says there will be a revival awakening. It's going to come to the TN state. And I am going to begin to loose mantles. I am going to raise up my circuit riders! That are going to preach the gospel out of TN says the Lord. They are going to be my Gideons. They are going to tear down the altars of the former generations! And God says they are going to build My tabernacle of David! JESUS!"...
· Oct. 28, 2012 Nashville celebrates Israel

Welcoming Ambassador Opher Aviran from Israel, Mr. Mark Freedman of the Nashville Jewish Federation, Rabbi Dr. Gerald Meister, Rabbi Yitzchock Tiechtel, Rabbi Saul Strossberg, and members of the Jewish community, we affirmed our commitment to the God of the Bible, to His Land and to His chosen People.
· Oct. 31, 2012 Bridal Canopy Initiative
What a glorious and powerful time each team had securing the borders of our state and re-setting covenant of our land back to the Lord following last years Baal divorce decree assignment on all 300+ masonic lodge sites in our state. With worship, prayer and decree and communion, we lifted up the Bridal Canopy over our state, securing it at the 4 corners, center and capitol with 9" stakes that read 'with humility, great thanksgiving, total gratefulness for the covenant of love purchased through the Lamb of God, Yeshua. Heb. 10:11-14, Deut. 6:5, Duet. 7:9, Jer. 31:33, Deut. 28:1-14, Psalm 149, Psalm 122:6-9, We enthrone Jesus over this land to rule and reign. Isaiah 62:1, 4-6. Isaiah 22:15:23 over elections. Shebna's out-Eliakims in!"
What a beautiful picture of God's protection over our us and our state, as we recovenanted our land back to Him. This joyous assignment had signs and wonders that accompanied each gathering. Thank you to those on-sight and those warriors at home who prayed!

It was my joy to serve alongside you in 2012, I look forward to more joining us as we work together for the Harvest! Matthew 9:37-38
We came together...uniting to give honor to Him...we sought His face...worshipped Him...decreed His Word and the spiritual climate has accelerated in our state.
Thank YOU, for your sacrifice of prayer on behalf of our communities, state and nation. And more importantly, for what it means to the generations to come...may they know HIM. Psalm 19:7-11, Psalm 119.

"...The Lord says daughter, don't be weary in this battle. For God says I give TN the anointing to turn the nation. The legislature of this state is going to propose a plan that is literally going to be modeled across America. The Lord says TN will draw a line in the sand. A red line. Stand for Israel. God is going to begin to bless this state in ways that are unusual. There will be signs of productivity come to TN. And God says to you that there are whole cities that have gone down economically that will begin to prosper. It will be a wonder, says the Lord...
...And God says I am going to raise up the next generation. The youth in TN are going to arise. You are going to be a mother to a new generation of young people. This movement is going to be a very young movement in TN. And God says that even I am going to give you high school students. I am going to move in elementary schools. God says there will be a revival awakening. It's going to come to the TN state. And I am going to begin to loose mantles. I am going to raise up my circuit riders! That are going to preach the gospel out of TN says the Lord. They are going to be my Gideons. They are going to tear down the altars of the former generations! And God says they are going to build My tabernacle of David! JESUS!"...

· Oct. 31, 2012 Bridal Canopy Initiative
What a glorious and powerful time each team had securing the borders of our state and re-setting covenant of our land back to the Lord following last years Baal divorce decree assignment on all 300+ masonic lodge sites in our state. With worship, prayer and decree and communion, we lifted up the Bridal Canopy over our state, securing it at the 4 corners, center and capitol with 9" stakes that read 'with humility, great thanksgiving, total gratefulness for the covenant of love purchased through the Lamb of God, Yeshua. Heb. 10:11-14, Deut. 6:5, Duet. 7:9, Jer. 31:33, Deut. 28:1-14, Psalm 149, Psalm 122:6-9, We enthrone Jesus over this land to rule and reign. Isaiah 62:1, 4-6. Isaiah 22:15:23 over elections. Shebna's out-Eliakims in!"
What a beautiful picture of God's protection over our us and our state, as we recovenanted our land back to Him. This joyous assignment had signs and wonders that accompanied each gathering. Thank you to those on-sight and those warriors at home who prayed!
