Thousands of Christians recently gathered on the National Mall over the weekend in Washington D.C. to pray for the United States amid the uncertain times the country is faced with. The evangelical group “A Million Women,” joined together at the nation’s capitol for a 12-hour livestream that featured various worship events and speakers.
Millions of people from around the world joined virtually in the live stream for the vent which sought to pray for God to bless the nation in what was described as a “last stand” moment for America. The organizer of the event, Lou Engle, explained the desperate need of God throughout the embattled country. He recounted a vivid dream from 2017 in which he saw God raise up an “Esther movement.”
“Everyone knows, America is in a time of crisis, the world is in a time of crisis… fasting and prayer has always shifted history. Esther was raised up for a time if there wasn’t a shift, they would lose a whole nation,” Engle said. “I wake up and I knew there’s coming a massive women’s ‘Esther movement’ that will have authority just like Esther to take down spiritual powers, ideologies, and they will rise up a righteous woman’s movement, and I believe they will shift history.”
Engle’s dream was fulfilled on October 12th, which is also the Jewish Day of Atonement, where over 250,000 women joined together on the National Mall to pray for God to intercede. “The Day of Atonement, the day when the blood is applied to the doorposts of the nation’s national guilt and saves from mercy, gives mercy or judgment, we will take a massive communion service that day and plead the blood over this nation, daring to believe that God will loose America into a new day of mercy,” Engle said.
The organizer also noted that the event was not exclusive to women and that many men also joined in worship and prayer. “We believe it is an Esther-Mordecai moment, not a division of male and female, but to connect together before the heart of God and believe that God will heal us and heal us in our ideologies,” he said.
“Well, I look at Joel chapter two, when there’s no hope for a nation, when there is no remedy…blow the trumpet in Zion and call a fast. It is in those moments that God looses mercy in a day to a nation. There are certain times when God says, you must gather and if you gather, the Lord will fight for us. We believe we’re in that kind of moment,” Engle said.
