God revealed to us that for us to exert and maintain the influence of His kingdom during this electoral process thereby neutralizing the power of forces of darkness to manipulate this season for their end, a prayer altar needs to be raised at the same time the physical activities of the election is occurring from voting to counting, coalition and then announcement.

This is patterned after Moses and Joshua’s strategy in their fight against Amalekites.

While Joshua was on the field Moses raised his rod over the entire process and God’s intent started getting fulfilled with Joshua advancing. When Moses hands were dropped the Amalekites prevailed.

Read Exodus 17:9 -13

“ And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.”

Our hands must be lifted up at the same time physical engagement is going on. The church cannot afford to sleep. The enemy can only move when the Church sleeps.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

The elements we are declaring in prayer are peace i.e. violent free, order, justice and righteousness.

Select one hour in the daily 24hour cycle and repeat that hour or any other for the four days.

For example you praying 6pm to 7pm on 15th you can choose 2am to 3am on 16th and so forth.

Thank you
