River Flush Columbia
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God
1. Praying and interceding in concert along the major river systems in the Pacific Northwest . This initiative is similar in focus but different in approach to the River Flush conducted on the Mississippi River and its tributaries conducted in April-May 2007.
2. There will be teams on the Columbia , Snake, Willamette, Kootenai, Pend Oreille, Cowlitz, Spokane , Deschutes, Lewis, Yakima , Wenatchee , Okanogan, Kettle, and Sandy Rivers as well as several tributaries to cover the greater Columbia
3. We will be traveling on the journey as each team is led by Holy Spirit from June 15, 2009 to Sept. 5, 2009. All teams will assemble in Spokane , WA
4. Intercessors from around the country but especially along the river passages will be “Lighting the Passage” with worship during the period of the journey.
B. Why are we doing this?
1. The most important reason for the journey is simply obedience to the Lord. During our preparation for a preceding prayer journey in Spokane in addition to other previous prayer journeys, he showed the importance of a corresponding journey down the length of the Columbia River and its watershed.
2. We understand that each river we are journeying has already been prayed for, perhaps numerous times. Our journey’s prayers and intercession will build on what has been done before, and we expect subsequent prayers over the same rivers to continue to build. There is no limit to God’s blessings.
3. One of the primary purposes of this journey is to break the stronghold of water spirits associated with bodies of water which affect the people that live in the land, bringing pride, addiction, fleshly pursuits, manipulation and control, attraction to the occult, and a fascination with death and darkness. In essence, we are doing deliverance ministry to the Pacific Northwest and the Western Gate of the North American Continent. We will be publishing at a later point the Biblical foundation for understanding and addressing water spirits.
4. Third, we have seen prophetically that the Spirit of Baal, a demonic structure that has led our land into pursuit of the flesh, has in fact been drawing life from our nation. In the same way that individuals develop heart disease through fleshly addiction, our nation is being robbed of life. Our prayer journey through the circulatory system around the Northwest of our nation is intended to cleanse the arteries and bring new life. We are continuing the cleansing of our national and continental water systems preparing the way for the address the same Baal and Mammon and other occult spirits and spiritual strongholds of wickedness.
5. Fourth, the Lord has shown us that every apostolic and prophetic declaration and intercession along our river pathway will be spiritual dynamite that will explode cracks in the power grid of the enemy over our land.
6. Fifth, as our teams from around the country merge where the rivers converge, we are making a powerful apostolic declaration of unity in the Body of Christ.
7. Sixth, we are taking spiritual possession of rivers used as demonic highways and establishing them as Highways of Holiness unto the Lord through worship, repentance and apostolic intercessory declaration. Waters that were created to nurture the life of God’s creation will be restored to their full original purpose in the natural and spiritual spheres of Earth.
C. Who is doing this?
1. We are in affiliation with Cascadia Apostolic Summit; Dan Hammer , Washington State Apostle U.S.A.R.; and many others.
2. Our guiding apostles are Jim and Faith Chosa of Day-Chief Ministries, Yellowtail, Montana
3. The journey leader is Preston Jackson , Spokane , Washington
4. Through Jim Chosa and other Native leaders we have and will continue to gain indigenous authority as their representatives in the territories of the land encompassed by this river system.
5. River team leaders include prayer journey leaders from Washington , Oregon , Idaho , Montana , British Columbia
6. Each river prayer team consists of an “onsite team” traveling the river by car and one or more “base camp intercessory teams”.
7. State intercessors are supporting the journey from every state touched by the rivers on the journey as well as intercessors from around the nation and the world.
D. What are we doing on the journey?
1. We will be traveling 2 by 2 as Jesus sent out the 72 to prepare the way before Him in Luke 10 . (Or as many as will conveniently travel in one vehicle.)
2. We will be praying at specific locations revealed to us by research and through revelation by the Holy Spirit.
3. In particular, we are looking for places of iniquity due to false authority, false worship, bloodshed, broken covenants, and immorality.
4. We will establish, at key points, “stones of remembrance” that declare “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness, thereof.”
5. We will reconcile God’s true ownership of the Earth through communion at key sites as directed by Holy Spirit.
6. We will establish, at key points, “boundary markers” that declare the principle of “You shall set bounds for the people all around saying, ‘Beware that you do not go up on the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.”
7. We will do all things as unto the Lord and whatever the Lord shows us to do.
E. Journey culmination.
1. We will convene in a corporate Malachi 3:16 convention on Sept. 18-19, 2009.
2. We will repent for these defilements and receive the forgiveness of the Lord for the iniquities committed in the land.
3. We will prophetically and apostolically apply Jeremiah’s Commission to uproot every kind of iniquity.
4. We will break and sever the connection of evil and wicked spiritual forces to the land and water of this river system.
5. We will sanctify the water and the land.
6. We will apostolically declare the word of the Lord through scripture and revelatory, prophetic expression.
7. We will, out of the blessing of God, bless the land and the people of the land influenced by this river system with a special focus on the Body of Christ.
8. We will unite, through the Blood of Christ and Holy Spirit, our prayers to all the prayers that have been uttered before us.
9. We will apply 2 Cor. 10:6 to the entire Columbia River Watershed area.
