Prayer for the Education Mountain
by Kitty Shipshock
Deuteronomy 4-9: 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
The words of Deuteronomy to this generation seem to be obscured. We have removed prayer, the 10 Commandments, even the mention of God's name from schools. The mandate was clear, the Commandments of the Lord God were to be written in the hearts of our children. Our public schools and many of our private schools fail to recognize the importance of that mandate. Our children spend most of their time in our educational system gaining knowledge that excludes the presence of our Lord. We are raising a generation that does not know God, His laws or His heart.
As the school year comes to an end, we may be tempted to ignore the importance of education for the next 3 months. However, the generation that is coming behind us needs to know the truth of the living God.
I am asking you, his blood covered sons of God, to turn your hearts towards the children. I am asking you as mothers and fathers of the faith to take seriously the Malachi mandate and welcome the spirit of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children. This summer as you drive by your schools cry out to the Lord for his mercy on our education system. Let's make this summer a time of seeking Father for the minds, hearts, and souls of those children he has entrusted to our nation.
Heavenly father, we come before you boldly this day, into your throne room, where we know your scepter is always extended towards us. We ask you, in the name and through the blood of Jesus, to cleanse our schools of all heresy. We ask you father to reveal to us the controlling spirits of our educational system. We ask you to give us wisdom, discernment and strategies for reclaiming every educational institution for the glory of God. We also ask that you will raise up people in the educational mountain to stand in intercession and awareness for our state's children. In Jesus name we proclaim victory for your kingdom in every school in our state.

2011 Lightening Strike near Ely and still the fire is burning (March 15, 2012)
Pagami Creek Fire continues to burn!
Minnesota Boundary Waters
Marcia Todd
Prayer Coordinator for Lake County
Minnesota Apostolic Prayer Network
On August 18, 2011 a lightening strike started a fire 13 miles east of Ely in NE Minnesota, in the area otherwise known as Minnesota's Arrowhead. Due to lack of precipitation and high winds, on Monday, September 12, 2011, the fire ran an unprecedented 16 miles in a few hours. As the Pagami Creek Fire continued to burn in the low humidity and high temperatures, often with winds, it became the biggest fire in Minnesota in 93 years burning over 92,600 acres.
It was hoped that the typical significant snowfall for NE Minnesota would be enough to put the fire out, but this is not the case. As of March 14, 2012, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has reported that, with aerial surveillance, the fire is still seen burning in peat bogs.
Now, in the winter of 2011-2012, the Arrowhead region is significantly behind in winter snowfall and is having record breaking high temperatures in March. This unusual weather is prematurely melting the little snow that did fall. The forecast temperatures for the coming month are also higher than normal and this will dry out the fuel for fires in the forest. A number of years ago there was a wind storm that blew down significant portions of forest that are now fuel for a current fire. Last fall there was great concern that the fire could easily and quickly move through a portion of this blown down area north into Canada, which is why there was Canadian help with firefighting aircraft. This is also important for there are restrictions for fighting fire in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area where much of the Pagami Fire burned. The fire season has now begun in NE Minnesota and the MN DNR is predicting that 2012 will be a severe fire season.
For the size and scope of the fire, there were no human fatalities, few injuries and no damage to homes. However, many people were either evacuated or prepared to evacuate for a period of at least a couple of weeks. During the time of the Pagami Creek Fire, the economics of the region struggled. Loggers and others who make their living in the woods were unable to get to work as the roads were blocked for many miles. The Arrowhead Region also has a high economic dependency on tourism. During the time the fire burned, many resorts and other industries involving tourism also struggled. The lack of snow this winter has kept business at low levels for those who depend on people coming to our region to enjoy snow related activities. The early spring-like weather we are experiencing also creates further issues for local businesses who depend on cold and snow for their livelihood.
Prayer for precipitation and financial recovery for the Arrowhead Region is greatly needed and very much appreciated.

DNR Forecasting Record Fire Season for Minnesota Arrowhead Region
Pagami Fire Still Smoking as Fire Season Begins
This article is from the Duluth Northlands NewsCenter. Please pray concerning the predicted recorded breaking fire season.
March 14, 2012
Duluth, MN (Northlands NewsCenter)
Officials at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources say aerial surveillance shows fire is still burning in areas of the Pagami Creek Fire. These hot spots are in the extensive BWCA peat bogs. This news comes the same day that fire season officially begins in the northland.
On a beautiful March Day in the Twin-Ports smoker Chasers and foresters for the Minnesota DNR are getting ready to do battle in another season of fighting fires. But it's not your average fire season that the men and women of the Minnesota DNR are training for this year because 2012 is expected to be one for the record books. A winter drought, unusually high temperatures in March, and a smoldering, sleeping giant in the Boundary Waters are all part of a recipe for a severe fire season in the arrowhead.
Officials say it's a fire season that's continued throughout the winter. "It never actually quit. There were fire fighters fighting in December and January and again in February and March" In the next month, with average precipitation, high temperatures will dry out fuel setting the stage for more fire.
But, the DNR is ready. They're fully staffed and preparing to send out crews and gear out for an early start.
Crews are expected to be sent south of Duluth first where to snow has already melted.
News Center meteorologists are predicting average precipitation with higher than average temperatures for the next month.

Super Tuesday or Super Holy Spirit?
Tuesday evening, March 6th, as I began to dial in to the Minnesota Prayer Network conference call I was reflecting on "Super Tuesday" and feeling a bit deflated and disinterested. I was puzzled by my lack of focus on the day that has gained so much public attention in the past week. Why was I not feeling impassioned to pray for the many primaries and caucuses that were taking place around the country. Both conservative and liberal agendas were launching their stab at promoting a frontrunner for the presidency as well as countless numbers of other offices that will find themselves on ballots on our November 6, 2012 election day. Wikipedia says that Super Tuesday typically represents a presidential candidate's first test of national electability. I envisioned people all around our nation positioned in front of their televisions, surfing the internet, sitting in sports bars and all watching the Super Tuesday results roll in. One night to idolize "Super Tuesday" as though the results would be the answer to our Nation's problems!
It reminded me of "Cyber Monday", "Black Tuesday", "Black Friday", "Fat Tuesday" and "Super Bowl". Days that have become "idolized" over the years for their historical significance. People in every walk of life putting all their focus on a single day with great expectancy and hope for an outcome that would be the answer to all our desires; great shopping, great eating, winning sports team, rising economy, great leaders.
On our call we prayed fervently for all the candidates, the primaries, the caucuses and for their provision, protection, integrity and a call to righteousness and holiness. I know that we are called to be those that bring these candidates, the parties they represent and the voters before the Lord in prayer and we accomplished that with all our hearts.
Then as we were praying the Lord immediately began to speak to my heart about "Super Tuesday" and reminded me that it grieved his heart to watch a nation turn to news reports for their answers. The reality is that people all over this nation were sitting before the "Super Tuesday" results rolling in as though they were worshipping at an altar. Whose altar is this?
The "Super" at the Lord's altar is the Holy Spirit and his Supernatural Power to bring the answer to every situation that we are concerned about in every area of our lives.
So on our Tuesday night conference call we came in repentance before the Lord for our Nation worshipping "Super Tuesday" and looking for the results of one day to show us the possible presidential results. We repented and asked forgiveness for the way that we are drawn by media to see things through the World View instead of running to the Lord and asking for his direction.
Thank you all who were praying that Tuesday night and seeking the Lord for 'His Kingdom come, His Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.'

Minnesota holds Agenda 21 Seminar
February 18th Minnesota held a one-day seminar focused on Agenda 21 with 35 in attendance. Sandra Roesner and Deb Lehr prepared a teaching with an excellent power point. I observed that as we addressed a prevailing issue that is sending up red flags in our communities & states it is causing us to look at the whole nation. This is also generating a passion to pray. People respond to having a 'cause'. Because of our emotional make up the 'cause' ignites passion and we "activate" prayer.
We had 3 young adults who shared from their generation's perspective. It was powerful. As we listened I saw that part of the "gap" between generations has happened as children were convinced to not listen to the instruction and wisdom of their parents. Instead they were fed humanism and anti-christ fundamentals to base their thoughts and decisions on. A disconnect between generations has happened because of this agenda to usurp the role of parent.
The people attending were asking and want to know what the solution is to the situation of Agenda 21. We admitted that we do not have a solution. What we do have is the call to prayer. The National prayer networks are working together to mobilize this nation to prayer. Prayer is what we have and prayer is the best solution. We need to stand together in prayer, in alignment with the word of God to see this nation shift at every level.
The next thing that we discussed is the need to know what Christians can do to actually make a difference in the world around them. Once we have hit the issue with prayer we can expect to see the Lord open a door that we can step through and be a voice that will bring influence in our society.
I believe that Agenda 21 has so infiltrated our culture that it well may be the thing that gets people to prayer activation. We need to keep exposing this insidious venom that has so altered our everyday life. We need to combat this with what the Biblical Worldview says and directly expose Agenda 21 as a strategy to take our freedoms away and decrease our population.
We are getting ready to appoint someone to the focus of Agenda 21 in Minnesota.

Mission Native America - Crow Creek Distribution Report
CROW CREEK RESERVATION
“They Are All Happy”
That was the comment made by Cynthia Howe’s daughter, Janice as we packed up to leave the Big Bend area of the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota. We had finished the distribution of three semis of furniture, clothing, household items, and toys. Two and a half of the semis were chairs, couches, wardrobe closets, chests, microwaves, desks, entertainment centers, lamps, wall pictures, and beds. Cynthia was the contact Dr. Swallow had made to coordinate with MNA.
As we were packing up the trucks and cleaning up the gym where we had worked, Cynthia’s daughter said, “Today I was around the Reservation and saw the people moving in their new furniture and throwing out the old. Everyone was happy. This time everyone had received something and they are all happy.”
Every piece of furniture has a sticker on it that says, “A gift from the Lord, delivered by Mission Native America - www.MissionNativeAmerica.com”
Here is the Honor Roll of those who served and gave, in addition to the hundreds who prayed and assured the victory:
Richard & Patsy Rains, Rains & Sons Trucking
Mary Stoneroad
Franklin & Sharon Noah
Mark McVay
George Zapata
Jesse & Mancie Dawson
Chuck & Brandie Monday & Sena (Turned 16 on the trip)
Pat Akers
Justin Boland, Somebody Cares – Houston
Darrell Naselroad
Lance & Betsey Moller , SD HAPN Leader
Brent Rose, War Cry Ministries
Vernon & Donna Chopper, Yankton Reservation
Eric & Shelly Cox, Living Word Fellowship, Woodward provided a semi-trailer and a 15-passenger van for the volunteers; HAPN Central Region, Karen Kruger, leader, contributed funds; also OAPN/HAPN; Dr. John Benefiel; Pat Akers; Rick & Sally Cook; Kasey & Donna Garinger; Ricky & Debbie Lloyd; Gerald Freeman and Ascension Church; John Chambers; Huitt Foundation; Somebody Cares; Les & Donna German; Darrell & Darlene Naselroad; and Annette Gravitt, Terry & Jackie Johnson, William Hurley, Caroline Hodgden, and Garlock Ministries.
Thank you and bless you for Caring!!
Dr. Jerry L & Cuba Deann Mash, Directors
Furniture Release from Rhode Island Naval Base
With the completion of the distribution at the Crow Creek Reservation (see testimony below), we were still about $2,000 short. Besides making up the shortage, a decision has to be made today as to whether or not we can confirm to the Rhode Island naval base that we will be able to pick-up two semi-trailer loads of furniture February 15-17.
We must have $5,000 more to send out the trucks to pick up this furniture!
"Over $250,000,000 was spent on Super Bowl ads. Each 30 seconds
averages $3.5 million! It puzzles me that we have delivered over $25 million
to God’s Host people and have never spent a million over 12 years."
-Dr Jerry Mash
PRAY..., PRAY..., Pray... and help!
We can’t send out the MNA trucks without funds to cover the costs. We squeeze the maximum out of everything we do. Many volunteers bless the work with their time.
Together we can make this happen!
