Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: In the map, Nigeria looks like a gun, and the
- 0:03Speaker 1: prophecy was that Nigeria was the trigger. The shot would
- 0:08Speaker 1: be heard out of South Africa, but the trigger is Nigeria.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Massive awakening and revival.
- 0:15Speaker 2: What I'm hearing you say is we have no idea
- 0:18Speaker 2: the power that we have to go before the throne
- 0:21Speaker 2: of God and to beg him to tear down strongholds.
- 0:25Speaker 2: To shift nations, to bring them back into repentance and
- 0:28Speaker 2: right alignment with the Lord.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Exactly. What if President Trump has a dream? What if
- 0:34Speaker 1: it shifts? What if rulers, the warlords of ISIS, the
- 0:39Speaker 1: warlords of Boko Haram actually die?
- 0:43Speaker 2: Thousands more, potentially hundreds of thousands more of our brothers
- 0:47Speaker 2: and sisters in Christ will be killed. They'll be martyred
- 0:51Speaker 2: for their faith. Guys, welcome to the Jesus People podcast.
- 0:55Speaker 2: We've got the great honor of having Papa Lou Engel
- 0:59Speaker 2: on the podcast today. Lou, thank you so much.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Well, I am so honored to be here. You know,
- 1:05Speaker 1: I had not heard of you until about four days ago.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I watched a podcast on Nigeria. I'm thinking, who is
- 1:14Speaker 1: this guy? Hmm. And what is going on? Because my
- 1:17Speaker 1: heart was stirred for Nigeria. And then everyone seemed to
- 1:21Speaker 1: be speaking to you about me. And I just know
- 1:24Speaker 1: this is a divine appointment. I'm so grateful for you
- 1:27Speaker 1: to bring me here. Amen.
- 1:29Speaker 2: I really do think the Lord's up to something special.
- 1:32Speaker 2: We were talking about it earlier, but I had three
- 1:35Speaker 2: people reach out to me.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Like three days ago. I had a DM.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I had a text message. And then I was sitting
- 1:43Speaker 2: at a chiropractor's office. And a guy is sitting there
- 1:47Speaker 2: in the waiting room with me, and he looks at me.
- 1:48Speaker 1: He goes, are you Ryan Miller?
- 1:49Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah.
- 1:51Speaker 1: He goes, I think you.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Need to meet Lou Engle. And that was the third
- 1:55Speaker 2: person who had said something. And I'm like, I think
- 1:57Speaker 2: I need to meet Lou Engle. And so I text
- 2:00Speaker 2: Christy Johnston, who had texted me as well about meeting Lou.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Engle, on one morning.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Now, you're a hero of mine, but I don't think
- 2:08Speaker 2: about you every morning. I have three people message me
- 2:12Speaker 2: in one morning.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I'm like, I think I need to meet Lou Engle.
- 2:15Speaker 2: And here we are three days later, you got on
- 2:17Speaker 2: a plane and I'm so honored. I couldn't be more
- 2:20Speaker 2: honored to be here with you. I think the Lord
- 2:23Speaker 2: is stirring up prayer warriors all around the world. And
- 2:25Speaker 2: that's really what I want to talk about today is
- 2:27Speaker 2: I want to talk about what he's doing in the nations.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I want to talk about how he moves through prayer.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I'd love to hear some stories for you. You were
- 2:34Speaker 2: just telling me a story about when you were praying
- 2:35Speaker 2: up at Estes Park. Maybe we start there and see
- 2:38Speaker 2: where the Lord takes this conversation. But guys, the goal
- 2:41Speaker 2: of this podcast is I would ask you to stay
- 2:43Speaker 2: till the end of this podcast because the call to
- 2:46Speaker 2: action couldn't be more important right now. That God is
- 2:50Speaker 2: raising up his prayer warriors, his soldiers to go before
- 2:56Speaker 2: the throne and plead for mercy on behalf of his people.
- 3:00Speaker 2: And to tear down the strongholds, the demonic strongholds that
- 3:03Speaker 2: are over nations right now. God is doing something very
- 3:06Speaker 2: significant in the world right now. And we're going to
- 3:08Speaker 2: get into that in a minute. But, Lou, maybe let's
- 3:11Speaker 2: actually go back to the beginning. How did you become
- 3:14Speaker 2: such a prayer warrior? How did you receive that call
- 3:16Speaker 2: from the Lord on your life?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Well, I'll just go back to 42 years ago. I
- 3:23Speaker 1: was a praying guy mowing lawns for five years. having
- 3:27Speaker 1: graduated from college, did two and a half years of
- 3:31Speaker 1: seminary and made a covenant with a guy that I
- 3:34Speaker 1: would seek Acts chapter two no matter what it cost.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I left seminary and mowed lawns for five years and
- 3:41Speaker 1: that became my prayer seminary. I'd be behind that 52
- 3:45Speaker 1: inch mower. praying in tongues, and seeking God for revival.
- 3:50Speaker 1: That really was the seminary of my own soul. And
- 3:58Speaker 1: then 42 years ago, a book got into my hand
- 4:01Speaker 1: called Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting by a man
- 4:04Speaker 1: named Derek Prince. The premise of the book is basically
- 4:08Speaker 1: that nations actually shift, governments shift when there is fasting
- 4:14Speaker 1: and prayers. One thing he said that struck me is
- 4:18Speaker 1: that at the end times in the crisis of nations,
- 4:22Speaker 1: it will be massive solemn assemblies that will be the
- 4:26Speaker 1: shifters of history. I dreamed in 1996 on my first
- 4:32Speaker 1: 40-day fast that I was to be mobilizing the youth
- 4:37Speaker 1: of America to fasting and prayer to go to D.C.
- 4:41Speaker 1: like promise keepers put a million men in. And God
- 4:44Speaker 1: put it in my soul to call for Joel 2,
- 4:48Speaker 1: which is when there is a crisis in the nation,
- 4:51Speaker 1: when there is no hope for a nation, blow the
- 4:54Speaker 1: trumpet in Zion. Call a fast. Gather the elders. Let
- 4:59Speaker 1: them cry out to me. And afterward, I'll pour out
- 5:01Speaker 1: my spirit on all flesh. And so we moved to
- 5:05Speaker 1: that vision. And 26 years ago, 400,000 primarily young people
- 5:11Speaker 1: and mothers and fathers gathered to fast and pray for
- 5:14Speaker 1: 12 hours in D.C. So that became kind of the
- 5:17Speaker 1: journey of my life. massive gatherings of fasting and prayer,
- 5:22Speaker 1: daring to believe that God could turn America back to
- 5:25Speaker 1: God and shift the history of nations, even now, Nigeria. Yes, yes.
- 5:31Speaker 1: And what have you seen happen? Well, I look at my...
- 5:36Speaker 1: With fasting and prayer and these solemn assemblies, you don't
- 5:39Speaker 1: necessarily see the answer right away. But God is shifting
- 5:43Speaker 1: things in the heavens and shifting principalities and powers, similar
- 5:47Speaker 1: to like Daniel. Daniel... Fast and praise for 70 years.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Day three times a day facing Jerusalem until it comes
- 5:57Speaker 1: to the point of Daniel chapter 9 and 10 where
- 6:00Speaker 1: he knows it's time. He sets his face to fasting
- 6:05Speaker 1: and prayer to shift Cyrus to fulfill the exodus of
- 6:11Speaker 1: the Jews in Babylon to go back and build a temple.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And when he fasts and prays, he sets in motion archangels.
- 6:20Speaker 1: This is stunning to me. And the archangels said, for
- 6:24Speaker 1: the first day you set your face, I've come down.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Daniel at age 83 is shifting, presiding over whole empires
- 6:34Speaker 1: in prayer and fasting. Setting in motion archangels over whole nations.
- 6:40Speaker 1: One man. The church doesn't know him. that the shifting
- 6:44Speaker 1: and the power of nations is really upon his church
- 6:49Speaker 1: to shape history. And this is what burns in my heart.
- 6:53Speaker 1: It's burned in my heart for 42 years. I don't
- 6:57Speaker 1: know if I answered your question, but that's what I've
- 6:59Speaker 1: been doing. You sure did. You sure did.
- 7:01Speaker 2: What I'm hearing you say is we have no idea
- 7:04Speaker 2: the power that we have to go before the throne
- 7:07Speaker 2: of God and to beg him to tear down strongholds,
- 7:11Speaker 2: to shift nations, to bring them back into repentance and
- 7:14Speaker 2: right alignment with the Lord.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 7:17Speaker 2: And you have now called these Million Women Marches, where
- 7:20Speaker 2: you are gathering the Esthers all around the world to
- 7:25Speaker 2: come and pray and to shift their own nations. Where
- 7:27Speaker 2: did that come from?
- 7:28Speaker 1: Well, let me go back to one of the greatest
- 7:31Speaker 1: testimonies and most personal testimonies of prayer and fasting. I
- 7:36Speaker 1: lost my son's heart as a teenager. And we wrestled.
- 7:41Speaker 1: We wept because we couldn't find one another's heart. I
- 7:43Speaker 1: was so concerned. I just prayed for him. And I
- 7:46Speaker 1: did a 31-day fast. And on the 31st day, he
- 7:51Speaker 1: came to me and said, Dad, I'm having dreams of revival.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I got my heart. I got my boy's heart back.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And I think this is the Elijah call. Stretch yourself
- 8:03Speaker 1: out over one child. Win a child. And then you
- 8:07Speaker 1: can win a city or a nation. I got my
- 8:12Speaker 1: boys' heart back. And to me, that's the great testimony.
- 8:16Speaker 1: That's where it all turns when we win the battle
- 8:19Speaker 1: for our own children. And they start having open heavens
- 8:23Speaker 1: and dreams and visions from God. I thought I'd just
- 8:26Speaker 1: put that one in there. That's a testimony that touches everybody.
- 8:31Speaker 1: He's a man of God. All my kids, they're men
- 8:35Speaker 1: of God. So over the years, it's dreams that have
- 8:41Speaker 1: given us the divine assignments for our lives. This is
- 8:45Speaker 1: something that basically has not been highly esteemed in the
- 8:49Speaker 1: body of Christ. Right. But you read through the book,
- 8:54Speaker 1: through the Bible. It is the kings that are given dreams.
- 8:59Speaker 1: It is actually the rulers are giving dreams. And God
- 9:03Speaker 1: has given us assignments. We had an assignment after 50
- 9:07Speaker 1: days and 50 nights of intercession. God gave us an assignment.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I gathered 70 young people to pray for the ending
- 9:14Speaker 1: of abortion day and night. Lived in a black church
- 9:19Speaker 1: with makeshift dormitories day and night praying for one thing.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Give us a pro-life president. who would give us pro-life
- 9:26Speaker 1: judges that would end Roe v. Wade. 50 days and
- 9:30Speaker 1: 50 nights. It was so stunning that it led to
- 9:35Speaker 1: an 18-year prayer movement in front of D.C., in front
- 9:39Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court, where people would stand five days
- 9:44Speaker 1: a week with this life tape on when we received
- 9:47Speaker 1: a dream, and we were giving voice to those who
- 9:50Speaker 1: have no voice, the unborn. And when Roe v. Wade fell,
- 9:55Speaker 1: We rejoiced. But God gave us the answer. Who was
- 9:59Speaker 1: that president that ended Roe v. Wade? Whether you like
- 10:03Speaker 1: him or not, President Trump gave us three judges. Three
- 10:08Speaker 1: judges as an answer to that crime that ended Roe v. Wade. Now,
- 10:14Speaker 1: this Esther movement, was spawned by a dream that I had. Really,
- 10:20Speaker 1: I read that witches worldwide rose up on one day
- 10:25Speaker 1: to curse President Trump. You've got to ask the question,
- 10:29Speaker 1: why witches worldwide would curse a man that's not exactly moral? Right.
- 10:34Speaker 1: And he doesn't fit the religious political mold or the
- 10:40Speaker 1: Christian ideal. Why would witches curse a man, President Trump?
- 10:46Speaker 1: I believe because they knew in the spirit that he
- 10:50Speaker 1: was going to challenge the ideologies, the gender ideologies, the
- 10:57Speaker 1: abortion ideologies. So when I heard this, I'd seen God
- 11:02Speaker 1: do enough prayer through answers to prayer. I went to
- 11:06Speaker 1: the mountains Estes Park in Colorado to fast for three days.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Some people call it Esther's Park. Hmm. And on the
- 11:13Speaker 1: third day, I have one of the most epic dreams
- 11:15Speaker 1: of my whole life. And in this dream, so vivid,
- 11:20Speaker 1: I see women coming from everywhere. Young, old. I'm watching
- 11:25Speaker 1: a women's revival. It's like I'm fire. I'm the only
- 11:30Speaker 1: man there with an ancient Bible. And I'm wondering, what
- 11:34Speaker 1: is going on? And these women are coming from all
- 11:39Speaker 1: over to hear the book of Esther be taught. In
- 11:42Speaker 1: the dream, a woman is teaching on the book of Esther.
- 11:47Speaker 1: And she says this. I'm just trying to remember because
- 11:52Speaker 1: I haven't shared it for quite a while. She said,
- 11:57Speaker 1: and these two, she says, these two words in the
- 12:00Speaker 1: book of Esther actually mean Nazgul. Boom, I explode out
- 12:08Speaker 1: of the dream. Nazgul? Nazgul. Instantly, I exploded out of
- 12:13Speaker 1: the dream, and I know what it is. The Nazgul
- 12:16Speaker 1: was the witch king in the Lord of the Rings.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Remember that? You've seen that? Where the witch king is
- 12:24Speaker 1: destroying all the armies of men and says, no man
- 12:27Speaker 1: can kill me. But the king's daughter takes off her
- 12:31Speaker 1: helmet and says, I am no man. She pierces the Nazgul.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And I knew as I woke up, there's coming an
- 12:38Speaker 1: Esther movement that's going to break the powers of the Nazgul,
- 12:42Speaker 1: the witches, over President Trump, that he would get the
- 12:47Speaker 1: job done, what God called him to do. I literally called,
- 12:53Speaker 1: and it went viral around the world, a day to
- 12:56Speaker 1: stand and fast and pray to restrain the witchcraft. But then,
- 13:01Speaker 1: in 2024, with Laura Allred, who is with us here,
- 13:06Speaker 1: we gathered because of the elections and the coming gender crisis.
- 13:12Speaker 1: revolution that was coming in that election. We knew we
- 13:17Speaker 1: were in an Esther moment. And on the Day of Atonement,
- 13:20Speaker 1: October 12th, we knew it had to be on the
- 13:24Speaker 1: Day of Atonement where the blood is offered up to
- 13:28Speaker 1: get a verdict of mercy over America. Maybe 300,000 women
- 13:33Speaker 1: gathered together to that sound. 10 million worldwide women. many
- 13:39Speaker 1: of the millions in africa which we're talking about today
- 13:42Speaker 1: and we gathered together and we took communion at six
- 13:46Speaker 1: o'clock at night and we lifted up the blood of
- 13:51Speaker 1: the lamb and declared the victory of the blood and
- 13:55Speaker 1: when president trump was elected whether you like him or
- 13:58Speaker 1: not in two days the whole gender Issued, shifted. In
- 14:04Speaker 1: two days, there were two genders, not 26. And there's
- 14:09Speaker 1: been a shift all across the board in many of
- 14:12Speaker 1: the ideologies. And this is the power of united massive efforts.
- 14:18Speaker 1: fasting and prayer it changes history and so that's how
- 14:23Speaker 1: it that's how it started with a dream and we
- 14:26Speaker 1: did the dream if you hang around the dream king
- 14:30Speaker 1: you get into a dream stream you join yourself to
- 14:33Speaker 1: a dream team and you do the Martin Luther King
- 14:35Speaker 1: thing you bring justice to the.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Earth amen amen amen and we're talking about Nigeria right
- 14:43Speaker 2: now what I'm hearing you say is that the lord
- 14:47Speaker 2: Shifts the heart of kings like streams of water. Is
- 14:50Speaker 2: that the Lord breaks the strongholds on nations through the
- 14:54Speaker 2: prayers of his saints. And we are calling everybody listening
- 14:59Speaker 2: to this podcast right now to prayer. We're calling women, Esthers, Mordecais,
- 15:04Speaker 2: all around the world to prayer. Tell me more about
- 15:08Speaker 2: what you're doing in Nigeria and what your hope is
- 15:10Speaker 2: for what the Lord's about to do through this prayer movement.
- 15:13Speaker 1: So significant. A million women now is exploding everywhere. Across
- 15:17Speaker 1: the world. I think it's Solomon's Assemblies like Esther's fast
- 15:21Speaker 1: that breaks the power of Haman and changes kings and
- 15:26Speaker 1: rulers and public policies.
- 15:28Speaker 2: And a million women, that's your prayer movement.
- 15:30Speaker 1: It's led by Laura Allred from here in Dallas and
- 15:35Speaker 1: Apostle Isi, a woman that's an amazing anointed woman for
- 15:39Speaker 1: all of Africa. There's 42 nations in Africa. that are
- 15:44Speaker 1: opening their door to a million women. I believe it's
- 15:48Speaker 1: an Esther era when God is raising up intercessors to travail,
- 15:53Speaker 1: to break through the death threats over nations. So that's
- 15:58Speaker 1: the significance of this, Ryan. I didn't really catch it
- 16:01Speaker 1: until I watched your podcast with Nigeria. I think God's
- 16:07Speaker 1: made you to be a trumpet to this sound right
- 16:11Speaker 1: now for the sake of Nigeria. We're holding a solemn
- 16:15Speaker 1: assembly on the 25th of this month, just in 10
- 16:18Speaker 1: days from today, as we're podcasting this podcast here. This
- 16:24Speaker 1: is what we're believing. I think I just sent out
- 16:27Speaker 1: a podcast today about women that had been in 67
- 16:32Speaker 1: days in captivity and getting out of a bus. They
- 16:36Speaker 1: must have been raped and And how long? See, we
- 16:41Speaker 1: see Iran, and I think Iran is huge. Hmm. But
- 16:46Speaker 1: this is huge, and it's been hidden. I think God's
- 16:49Speaker 1: bringing it to light through you and others, even through
- 16:52Speaker 1: this podcast, that maybe millions will hear this sound and say,
- 16:57Speaker 1: it's not enough for us to just look on and
- 16:59Speaker 1: be sad. We've got to use the weapons that God
- 17:02Speaker 1: has given to us of united, massive fasting and prayer.
- 17:07Speaker 1: I am taking this from 1 Samuel 7, where the
- 17:10Speaker 1: Philistines were defeating the Israelites. And Samuel calls all the
- 17:17Speaker 1: people to gather. You've got to gather in the time
- 17:22Speaker 1: of crisis. There are times that he says you've got
- 17:25Speaker 1: to drop all your differences and you've got to gather
- 17:28Speaker 1: or else, you know, you lose. And so gather the elders.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Gather the elders. It's Esther, Mordecai. Call the fasting to
- 17:40Speaker 1: break this This demonic Haman spirit that's raging for decades
- 17:46Speaker 1: in Nigeria. When we heard about this, we sensed we
- 17:49Speaker 1: need to do this for a solemn assembly. And Samuel
- 17:53Speaker 1: gathers them all to Mizpah. And when they gather the
- 17:58Speaker 1: Philistine lords, I think it's the spiritual powers over Israel. ISIS,
- 18:05Speaker 1: Boko Haram. There are spiritual powers. You can't deal with
- 18:09Speaker 1: this through politics. You've got to deal with it. Like
- 18:13Speaker 1: Daniel chapter 7, 10, shifting principality from power. This is
- 18:18Speaker 1: our calling. And we've looked to politics more than the
- 18:22Speaker 1: God who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
- 18:25Speaker 1: And it's not just a name we use in our
- 18:27Speaker 1: worship services. It's the God who wants to manifest his
- 18:31Speaker 1: rulership over kings now. Raise up kings and brings them down.
- 18:35Speaker 1: We are going to gather. He gathers them to Mizpah.
- 18:39Speaker 1: The Philistines attack. The spiritual powers rise up against this.
- 18:45Speaker 1: And he said he lifted up a suckling lamb. He
- 18:49Speaker 1: lifted up the blood of Jesus in the Old Testament.
- 18:55Speaker 1: And it says when he does this, the Lord thundered.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Against the philistics. Come on. With a mighty sound. This
- 19:03Speaker 1: is what we're believing. We've tried everything else. What about
- 19:06Speaker 1: a solemn massive assembly with millions praying worldwide in 10
- 19:11Speaker 1: days that God would thunder and somehow. Shift President Trump. Yes.
- 19:17Speaker 1: What if President Trump has a dream? Someone gives him something,
- 19:20Speaker 1: shows him a video, shows him your documentary, and even
- 19:24Speaker 1: shows him this thing right here when he says you're
- 19:27Speaker 1: missing it by bombing ISIS. Couldn't God get this message
- 19:32Speaker 1: to President Trump? What if the Nigerian government, God shifts things?
- 19:37Speaker 1: What if rulers, the warlords of ISIS, the warlords of
- 19:43Speaker 1: Boko Haram actually... Die. We're not calling for death, but
- 19:48Speaker 1: God rises. up to move against principalities and powers and
- 19:53Speaker 1: kings and rulers. What if it shifts? Maybe it takes
- 19:56Speaker 1: another five years. But I know this. If you get
- 20:02Speaker 1: a breakthrough with massive gathering, then you've got to sustain
- 20:05Speaker 1: what you gain. Keep that prayer going on. Can I say, Ryan,
- 20:10Speaker 1: I believe God's called you to be a prophet to
- 20:12Speaker 1: this issue. To keep this fire burning until it breaks.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Until the radical Islamic regimes are pressed back. I'm sorry,
- 20:23Speaker 1: I'm preaching, but I feel this. And that communist spirit
- 20:28Speaker 1: that's coming into America. We can just let it happen.
- 20:32Speaker 1: We're praying about going to Yankee Stadium next year. Into
- 20:36Speaker 1: New York City. And to say, hey, we're going where
- 20:39Speaker 1: the battle rages. And ideologies are pressing in. God spoke
- 20:44Speaker 1: to me years ago. No one's targeting America. False ideologies
- 20:49Speaker 1: with massive fasting and prayer. I've made my decision. I'm
- 20:52Speaker 1: going for that. So this is what we're believing on
- 20:54Speaker 1: the 25th. And we would like to encourage you. I
- 20:57Speaker 1: don't know when the podcast will come out. But on
- 21:00Speaker 1: the 25th, can we call millions through this podcast? Everybody,
- 21:05Speaker 1: fast that day and cry out that God... would thunder
- 21:09Speaker 1: against that spirit of that radical, the Boko Haram. And
- 21:14Speaker 1: maybe three days before that, I know this, thousands in
- 21:19Speaker 1: Nigeria have been fasting 40 days. They're weary. Could we
- 21:23Speaker 1: join and lift up the saints like Moses and his
- 21:28Speaker 1: three guys on that mountain, winning a true battle in
- 21:30Speaker 1: the heavens?
- 21:31Speaker 2: I want to take a quick moment and tell you
- 21:32Speaker 2: about a ministry that me and my family are very
- 21:34Speaker 2: passionate about, one that we personally support. It's called Global
- 21:37Speaker 2: Christian Relief. And I've seen the work they're doing in
- 21:39Speaker 2: persecuted countries all around the world. I've seen what they're
- 21:42Speaker 2: doing in China. I've seen what they're doing in Nigeria personally.
- 21:45Speaker 2: I've seen how they're rebuilding homes that have been burned
- 21:47Speaker 2: down by terrorists. How they're smuggling Bibles into countries I'm
- 21:51Speaker 2: not even allowed to say. And I would urge you
- 21:53Speaker 2: to heed Jesus' call. That whatever you did for the
- 21:56Speaker 2: least of these brothers, you did for him. So click
- 21:59Speaker 2: the link in the show notes. Support the persecuted church.
- 22:02Speaker 2: And know you're not just doing it for them. You're
- 22:03Speaker 2: doing it for him.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Sorry, I just kind of blew up.
- 22:06Speaker 2: I mean, I do not want to get to heaven
- 22:09Speaker 2: and realize I punted on the greatest Christian genocide of
- 22:11Speaker 2: my generation. And if there are thousands fasting in Nigeria
- 22:17Speaker 2: and they very literally are our family.
- 22:20Speaker 1: They're our family. They're our family.
- 22:22Speaker 2: We will stand before them in heaven one day. The
- 22:24Speaker 2: veil will be lifted from our eyes and we will
- 22:25Speaker 2: realize that literally is my brother. That literally is my sister.
- 22:30Speaker 2: And I didn't take a day to pray for And
- 22:34Speaker 2: fast for them. When my ears heard the call from
- 22:38Speaker 2: Lou Engle.
- 22:39Speaker 1: And I punted.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Now I don't think we're going to get to heaven.
- 22:43Speaker 2: And have all of these massive regrets. But I do
- 22:45Speaker 2: think we will have hindsight. That will be 2020. And
- 22:48Speaker 2: I do know that we are called as believers. To
- 22:51Speaker 2: stand in the gap. For whatever you did for the
- 22:54Speaker 2: least of these. Watch this next word. Brothers you did
- 22:58Speaker 2: for me.
- 22:59Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 23:01Speaker 2: Brothers the persecuted. Whatever we did for them, we're doing
- 23:05Speaker 2: for Jesus. So if we are going to focus our attention,
- 23:10Speaker 2: now that the veil has been lifted on what's happening
- 23:13Speaker 2: in Nigeria, because this issue has been happening for over
- 23:15Speaker 2: a decade, but for whatever reason, God chose 2025 to
- 23:19Speaker 2: bring about the veil to be ripped from American Christians' eyes,
- 23:24Speaker 2: from Christians worldwide's, their eyes. And we now have a
- 23:28Speaker 2: question that we need to answer. What will we do
- 23:31Speaker 2: about this?
- 23:31Speaker 1: Shoot.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Now that we've seen it, what are we going to do?
- 23:34Speaker 2: Because I can tell you, looking in the eyes of
- 23:36Speaker 2: six-year-olds that have fled their villages and now live in
- 23:40Speaker 2: a different state and have had to live in the
- 23:41Speaker 2: bush for maybe over a year, some of them, and
- 23:45Speaker 2: have nothing but the clothes on their back and the
- 23:47Speaker 2: trauma in their eyes, when I looked into their eyes,
- 23:49Speaker 2: I will never be the same. And what I'm asking
- 23:54Speaker 2: everyone listening to this is to just have those eyes
- 23:58Speaker 2: in your mind. Ask the Lord to give you eyes
- 24:01Speaker 2: to see their eyes, their trauma-filled eyes, where they have
- 24:05Speaker 2: this blank stare on their face. And the next thing
- 24:09Speaker 2: I'd ask you to do is to ask the Lord
- 24:11Speaker 2: to rip the veil from your eyes to see Jesus
- 24:15Speaker 2: in them because he is in them. Jesus is in them.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Whatever you did for the least of these brothers, you
- 24:22Speaker 2: did for me. And so that's the call. Not everyone
- 24:27Speaker 2: can go or should go to Nigeria right now. Not
- 24:31Speaker 2: everyone should go, as we were talking about earlier, and
- 24:33Speaker 2: drop shipments of night vision goggles and drones so they
- 24:38Speaker 2: can at least see when the attacks are coming because
- 24:40Speaker 2: they're not allowed to be armed. The government will take
- 24:42Speaker 2: the Christians' arms away. They'll turn a blind eye to
- 24:44Speaker 2: the Muslims. That's just a reality. They at least want
- 24:47Speaker 2: to see when the attacks are coming. Not everyone can
- 24:48Speaker 2: go and drop those shipments. But you can pray. But
- 24:53Speaker 2: you can fast.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Fast.
- 24:55Speaker 2: And understand that the number one thing I heard from
- 24:57Speaker 2: Nigerian Christians when I was boots on the ground, when
- 25:00Speaker 2: I asked them, what would you want from American Christians?
- 25:03Speaker 2: They said, pray. Because they understand that this is a
- 25:06Speaker 2: spiritual battle. What just came to mind as you were
- 25:09Speaker 2: preaching there is the president, President Tinubu's wife, is a Christian. Now,
- 25:16Speaker 2: she's compromised.
- 25:19Speaker 1: And she is.
- 25:21Speaker 2: not acting very Christian at the moment, but I do
- 25:23Speaker 2: believe that she maybe has some seeds of gospel that
- 25:26Speaker 2: have been implanted in her. She at least carries the
- 25:29Speaker 2: identity of Christian publicly, whether it's for PR or whatever.
- 25:32Speaker 2: I don't know. But what I'm asking is there, there's
- 25:34Speaker 2: a moment where she receives a dream and where she,
- 25:41Speaker 2: where something shifts and we can shift these things through
- 25:45Speaker 2: our prayers, where, where we are aligned, where we're unified.
- 25:48Speaker 2: John 17, where two or more are gathered He's there
- 25:51Speaker 2: as well. And we understand that we can tear down
- 25:54Speaker 2: spiritual strongholds through our prayers. And so, Lou, could you
- 25:57Speaker 2: just give us one more time the details of this?
- 26:00Speaker 2: We're going to try to rush this podcast out. What
- 26:03Speaker 2: are the details of this fast? If people want to
- 26:05Speaker 2: get involved, we'll also put a link if you have
- 26:07Speaker 2: a website in the show notes and in the description.
- 26:09Speaker 2: But give us kind of the top line.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Yes. You could go to a website of a million women,
- 26:16Speaker 1: a million women. Dot something. We'll put it down below.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I don't even know my own. It's okay. Dot org.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Okay, I'm getting confirmation.
- 26:26Speaker 1: It's a millionwomen.org. Dot org. I'm gripped by this passage.
- 26:33Speaker 1: In the last verse of 1 Samuel, where Saul falls,
- 26:39Speaker 1: that whole regime dies, basically, to the Philistines. The last
- 26:44Speaker 1: verse is, and the sons of Jabesh Fasted seven days.
- 26:52Speaker 1: It is the hinge verse to the restoration of Israel
- 26:57Speaker 1: and the coming of David. Seven days to change history.
- 27:02Speaker 1: We're actually calling a fast as far and wide as
- 27:05Speaker 1: we can from the 9th to the 25th, which would
- 27:09Speaker 1: be a seven-day fast. As far as we can, fast
- 27:16Speaker 1: whatever way you want. wouldn't want to the way God
- 27:19Speaker 1: leads you. I think water is the.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Best, but if you're a pregnant woman, probably not a water.
- 27:24Speaker 1: No, exactly. Um, uh, seven, seven days. And then on
- 27:29Speaker 1: the 25th, that's the day of the solemn assembly gathering
- 27:33Speaker 1: in Lagos. And then in every state, they'll be gathering.
- 27:37Speaker 1: People are being gathered in every state across Nigeria. Join
- 27:43Speaker 1: us for that day in fasting and prayer. And that
- 27:47Speaker 1: is what we're expecting. That's what we're asking. And I
- 27:50Speaker 1: think this podcast, I'm so grateful that you would allow
- 27:53Speaker 1: us to trumpet this sound and be a pioneer on
- 27:57Speaker 1: this great word. So that's the details. Amen. Amen.
- 28:01Speaker 2: A few bullets of what, To be praying for during
- 28:04Speaker 2: this time, specifics. One, the spiritual strongholds to be torn down. Two,
- 28:09Speaker 2: the leaders in our government to not be spineless. To
- 28:11Speaker 2: get dreams and visions, to be unified, for there to
- 28:14Speaker 2: be a coordinated effort to do something more than just
- 28:17Speaker 2: bombing the La Quara, the small little group, to say
- 28:20Speaker 2: you did something. President Trump to be moved. Strengthening for
- 28:25Speaker 2: those who are in IDP camps. There are not just
- 28:28Speaker 2: thousands who have been killed. There are hundreds of thousands
- 28:31Speaker 2: right now that are displaced. that are living in these
- 28:34Speaker 2: IDP camps, and they don't know where they are. Many
- 28:41Speaker 2: of them are dealing with complex trauma from losing their families.
- 28:44Speaker 2: The strengthening of our believers. So good. For Nigerian Christians
- 28:48Speaker 2: to rise up and leadership to rise up into power.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Right now there's a war going on right now. I
- 28:54Speaker 2: don't think people understand the significance of Nigeria. Nigeria is
- 28:58Speaker 2: split 50-50 Christian-Muslims. And it used to be about 70-30 Christian, Muslim,
- 29:03Speaker 2: more Christians. But there's a spiritual war over Nigeria right
- 29:08Speaker 2: now because Nigeria is the most populous, the most culturally
- 29:13Speaker 2: impactful country in Africa. And trust me, the demons know that.
- 29:19Speaker 2: There's a war in the heavens right now. Because if
- 29:22Speaker 2: you can take Nigeria for the demon of Islam, then
- 29:27Speaker 2: you can take Africa. And Africa in the coming years–
- 29:31Speaker 2: It has more children being born. I mean, you can
- 29:33Speaker 2: just look at the statistics of Africa. Africa will be
- 29:37Speaker 2: the most prominent, maybe the most prominent. continent in the
- 29:42Speaker 2: next 50 years and so right now what we're battling
- 29:46Speaker 2: for in nigeria is so much more than nigeria you're
- 29:49Speaker 2: battling for a there's a spiritual reality but there's a
- 29:53Speaker 2: physical reality of territory The Muslims are coming from the
- 29:57Speaker 2: north to the south, and they're taking villages. They're leapfrogging
- 30:02Speaker 2: over the Muslim villages. They're killing the Christian villages, and
- 30:06Speaker 2: they're taking that territory. Because if you then take Nigeria,
- 30:11Speaker 2: you have access to Africa. It's the gateway to the
- 30:14Speaker 2: rest of the continent. So if we don't want to
- 30:17Speaker 2: see– it might be the largest continent, but one of
- 30:22Speaker 2: the largest continents, and for sure– going to be one
- 30:25Speaker 2: of the most impactful continents on the planet, fall to Islam.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Now is the time to be praying and fasting. We're
- 30:33Speaker 2: at a hinge point.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Yes. And I think we realize that Nigeria is like
- 30:39Speaker 1: the revival, fire, the prayer movements in Nigeria. What if,
- 30:45Speaker 1: as this prophecy was given, that in the map, Nigeria
- 30:50Speaker 1: looks like a gun, right? And the prophecy was that
- 30:53Speaker 1: Nigeria was the trigger for a great revival. It would
- 30:58Speaker 1: spread and go all, and the shot would be heard
- 31:04Speaker 1: out of South Africa. But the trigger is Nigeria. Massive
- 31:09Speaker 1: awakening and revival. We should always be praying for that.
- 31:14Speaker 1: That God would, yeah, amen. Amen, amen.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Lou, could you close us in prayer? And again, guys,
- 31:23Speaker 2: I'm just going to encourage you just go into the description,
- 31:27Speaker 2: click the link for a million women and join us.
- 31:31Speaker 2: We're going to rush this podcast out. And if, if
- 31:35Speaker 2: you can't fast water for seven days, fast, something fast coffee,
- 31:40Speaker 2: fast sugar, fast for a day, water, fast, whatever it is, just,
- 31:45Speaker 2: just go before the Lord, knowing that you are joining us.
- 31:49Speaker 2: With thousands of others. To beseech him.
- 31:53Speaker 1: To beg him.
- 31:54Speaker 2: To plead with him. To have mercy on your brothers
- 31:58Speaker 2: and sisters. My brothers and sisters. Our family in Nigeria.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Absolutely. Lord we thank you. We thank you that you are.
- 32:10Speaker 1: The Lord of history. You raise up kings. You bring
- 32:15Speaker 1: them down. You change times and seasons. Who is like you. Lord,
- 32:22Speaker 1: you're the God of Daniel. Shifts history by the removal
- 32:27Speaker 1: and shifting of principalities and powers. We thank you that
- 32:32Speaker 1: we are not at war with flesh and blood, but
- 32:35Speaker 1: principalities and powers. We exalt you today that you're the
- 32:40Speaker 1: God of the Psalm 110. Stretch forth your rod out
- 32:43Speaker 1: of Zion and rule in the midst of your enemies. Lord,
- 32:49Speaker 1: I pray. on this day, on the 25th, that you
- 32:53Speaker 1: would thunder in the heavens over Nigeria, over the church,
- 32:58Speaker 1: over those being persecuted. You would be jealous for your people,
- 33:03Speaker 1: our brethren, and that, God, you would give us a breakthrough.
- 33:08Speaker 1: We lift up our eyes to you, the God of
- 33:10Speaker 1: all hope, all perseverance, and we bless you today for
- 33:15Speaker 1: the answers to prayer. I pray, Father, for a mass
- 33:20Speaker 1: mobilization from this podcast. Bones will rattle. Movements will occur.
- 33:28Speaker 1: And you would open our eyes to see the pain
- 33:31Speaker 1: of our brothers and our sisters. You would break our
- 33:35Speaker 1: hearts and that God, out of this moment, from this podcast,
- 33:40Speaker 1: a prophetic sound will erupt all around the world. For
- 33:44Speaker 1: the sake of Nigeria. We do pray. For massive revival.
- 33:49Speaker 1: All through Africa. It's already happening. But make Africa the head.
- 33:54Speaker 1: And not the tail. Out of Nigeria. In the name
- 33:58Speaker 1: of Jesus we pray. The Lord of history. We thank
- 34:02Speaker 1: you that the books are open. The court is seated.
- 34:06Speaker 1: And the books are open. And those saints that have
- 34:10Speaker 1: been wearied. Will be given the kingdom. Daniel 7. In
- 34:14Speaker 1: Jesus' name we pray.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Amen.
