Music City Moves Spiritual Mountain Amidst Mayhem in USA byLARRY TOMCZAK for Charisma News
Sunday evening in Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, multitudes gathered on the Capitol grounds, culminating seven successive days of prayer and praise countering the chaos. Beginning once again on the grounds of the Capitol courthouse, multitudes of intercessors peacefully passed Black Lives Matter activists in a prayer vigil on the way to the seat of our legislative body.
The week was reminiscent of what took place in Jericho when God directed His people to march for six days around the city and then, on the seventh day, do it again, but this time lift up a shout of praise. God caused the formidable walls to collapse, enabling His people to secure the victory.
What took place then and what was repeated in Music City most likely appeared like foolishness to the natural mind. Multitudes of peaceful and pleasant-faced Christians prayer-walking by assembled police and Black Lives Matter demonstrators may have triggered similar thoughts. But after an explosive eruption a week ago, the entire city certainly rejoiced that our experience was nothing like that of cities like Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Atlanta and scores nationwide. The multitudes of black and white prayer warriors who participated—and I was privileged to be one of them—believe we experienced divine intervention in moving a mountain out of our way.

First of All
I have had the honor of serving on the board of Intercessors for America, launched by Derek Prince and Ern Baxter almost 50 years ago.
The biblical passage that has been the core of our mission is 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NASB). I believe, from personal experience, this is one of the most neglected directives in the entire New Testament: “First of all then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (emphasis added).
