104 - The Passover Fast
Letter From the Editor:
Over the years, we have experienced together the explosive power of fasting and prayer to bring about breakthroughs in the heavens and the unfolding of long-awaited promises. With war raging in Eastern Europe, Israel remaining in the cross-hairs of global danger, and insidious battles ensuing within our own borders, we have an intensifying need and glorious opportunity to put these spiritual weapons to work once again. This year’s 40-day fast begins on Monday, March 7th, and continues through Friday, April 15th, which is Passover and Good Friday. Our team has recently received some powerful dreams that have created an unwavering anticipation of what God desires to do in this hour. We will unpack these dreams in the weeks ahead, while also keeping you informed of the cutting edge prophetic intel we receive along the way. Meanwhile, in today’s briefing, Lou Engle sets a faith filled course for us to run on as we advance together in The Passover Fast. We hope you’ll join us!

THE PASSOVER FAST
By Lou Engle
In the past few months, the Lord has been revealing to us a prophetic prayer strategy for 2022, involving a 40-day Daniel fast from March 7 - April 15. It was back in 1999 that I prayed, “How can I turn America back to God?” At that time, I was reading about Nehemiah’s massive mobilization project. He had gathered all the leaders of Jerusalem and commanded them, “Build next to your own house, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, gather to me there, and there the Lord will fight for us!”
Recently, I was given a dream in which I was summoning generals from across the globe into a Pentagon for a fast. I was declaring to them, “It's going to work!” Since this dream, I have been calling spiritual generals, leaders in their own spheres, leaders in nations, to consider joining me in calling their people into a 40-day Daniel fast for an unveiling of Christ in the nations of the earth.
We’ve had a series of dreams emphasizing Isaiah 25:7, “On this mountain, I will remove the veil that covers all nations.” In 1996. I did my first 40-day fast. At that time, the Lord spoke to me, calling that 40-day fast the “Mountain of the Lord.” I believe we are coming to a Mountain of the Lord moment in history. For instance, 2022 is the 100-year anniversary of the passing of William Seymour, the father of the Azusa Street Revival. He prophesied that in 100 years, a revival far eclipsing Azusa Street would take place.
On May 14, 1983, Bob Jones prophesied in Kansas City that a spiritual drought would cover America, but in God's appointed time that drought would lift. Unaware of any timing, The Send was scheduled to gather in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium this year on May 14th. We're entering the 40th year since Bob Jones’ prophecy and the very anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel.
This year, on January 22nd, it was the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the court case that legalized abortion. We believe we're in a year of Jubilee, and it’s time for the unborn and for this generation to be set free. But it's not enough just to say, “Well, this is a cool year.” I believe it is an invitation for a massive breakthrough.
Over the past couple of years, God has given us an understanding and dreams that The Great Communion Revival is ready to break out and the blood of Jesus is going to cover the nations of the earth. We believe there is a breakthrough desire in the Church worldwide and this 40-day fast could remove the veil that covers the nations and release evangelists and missionaries in a massive thrust throughout 2022. Therefore, we are calling this 40-day Daniel fast, daring to believe “it's going to work!”
Let us pray together and plead the blood of Jesus for 40 days, ending on April 15th, which is Passover and Good Friday. We're calling believers all over this nation and all over this world to take communion daily and to declare: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” What if millions worldwide would speak this over the Jewish nation right up to Passover? “Behold the Lamb of God!” What if all of America and its churches would be praying and commanding: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” What if we entered into faith that on Passover a veil would be ripped, and suddenly in Jerusalem and around the world, people are having dreams of Yeshua and dreams of Jesus.
We are believing, because of what we've seen, that a veil is going to be removed during these 40 days… and then we’ll converge! We're calling thousands of evangelists, thousands of singers and musicians, thousands of intercessors from across the globe to rally to Arrowhead Stadium in May. After 22 years of day and night prayer at IHOP-KC, led by Mike Bickle, we believe the days have come in which the overflow of the bowls is taking place and great salvation is going to break out.
So, would you join us for this 40-day season of fasting? The Daniel fast is not hard. We can do this together, taking communion each day, and commanding the nations of the earth: Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world! And, as we look towards The Send, we’ve never been into good events. We want to see a breakthrough in the heavens, to shatter the darkness, and loose the greatest revival that maybe America and the nations have ever seen.
It’s time for The Passover Fast!
