On Saturday February 14 Intercessors met together at the steps of

The Justice Building in Medford to pray for the Government of Our State/County/Cities and Judges. 2 Timothy 2:1-4 exhorts us To pray for those who are in authority over us, that we may lead A quiet and peaceable life in all godliness, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

We also prayed for our  pastors/spiritual leaders and Fathers.
Prayer was offered concerning the Homosexual agenda in our State. Prayed for deliverance, break deception, reveal truth
And let the truth set them free.

Prayer was offered to Break the Spirit of Death (Assisted Suicide) and Abortion. Prayed Isa. 28:17-19 “I will make justice the measuring Line and righteousness the plummet and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol,( the place of the dead) shall not stand.” We choose Life, Hope, Future, Prosperity over the Rogue Valley/Oregon.


A brief history of the Oregon flag was presented as follows:
The Oregon State flag is the only flag with a different design on each side. Adopted in 1925, the flag is navy blue and gold. The flag displays the words State of Oregon above a shield of 33 stars representing Oregon as the 33^rd State to be admitted into the union.

Below the shield part of the state seal is the date 1859 the year the State was admitted into the union. Depicted on the shield is a blazing sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, mountains, forests, a deer and a Conestoga wagon all representing the natural resources and splendor of Oregon to the early settlers in the territory. A plow, a sheaf of wheat and a pickaxe represent the early industry of the state: agriculture and mining.

Two ships shown, a British man-of-war and American trade vessel. The departing British ship and arriving American ship are said to represent that a claim to the land was laid by both Great Britain and the US at the same time. It also said that the tack of the two ships represents the ascendance of American power in the Western hemisphere.

The crest of the shield is the American eagle. Also displayed is a banner with the words “The Union”. The eagle and the banner express support for the Union that Oregon joined in l859.

Each person took one symbol and interpreted what it meant and Then prayed prophetically and declared the restoration and redemption of these symbolic pictures of our state. It was very interesting to see how many prophetic words were released into the atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to take them where He will.
We prayed for Revival, transformation, and an abundant Harvest in Oregon.

We put a stake in the ground with the above scripture Isa. 28:17-18 inscribed on it.
