America’s 7000 Tour 2020 of the United States Capitals Compilation of Thoughts and Prayers — Segment 2
Segment 2, Nevada and California
7. Nevada, July 18
Prevailing dark spirit — Unworthiness, Step-child
Sabbath, we drove to the capital of Nevada in Carson City. We decided to take the scenic route along the shore of Lake Tahoe. It seemed everyone and his brother was out enjoying the beautiful day. When we got to the capitol grounds prayer warriors were waiting to join us; we eventually numbered 13 in our group. Other clusters of worshippers were also at the capitol praying and singing, holding up “Pray for Nevada” signs. It was refreshing to see so much GOD activity at the Nevada capitol. This was the first capital where we witnessed other people actively worshipping and praying for their state besides us.
As we go from state to state ABBA is teaching us how to more effectively join the heavenly hosts in warfare. We have learned that the underlying dark spiritual element of each state plays significantly into the two giant spirits of Fear and Hatred dominating the landscape of the United States at this time. And we have learned that we need to identify and deal with this darkness before it grabs hold of us and wreaks havoc in our relationships. This was a hard lesson learned by personal experience!
Shortly after we crossed into Nevada from California, I felt in my spirit that the underlying dark spiritual force in this state was a feeling of unworthiness as in “second-class citizen” or stepchild. This was later confirmed by one of the Nevadans who came to worship with us. They said that the prostitution and gambling the state has endorsed and supported has caused the rest of the United States to think of Nevada as the “black sheep” of the family.
As we were worshipping and praying and declaring Psalms, repenting and sighing and crying over the abominations being done in the land, the sweetest, most refreshing touch of the Holy Spirit came into our midst. We have been to six other state capitols and Nevada at Carson City is the first one where the presence of the Holy Spirit was palpably discernable. NEVADA, The Silver State, take note;
“YHVH will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD.” (Malachi 3:3)
Our truck is repaired, but now it seems to be our 5th wheel trailer’s turn. We have an appointment on the 21st of July at Camping World, hopefully, they will be able to resolve the issues with our leveling/grounding system and our refrigerator that day and we’ll be on the road again. If not, and we have to wait for parts we are praying about driving to Utah and Idaho with our truck and then returning to California for our trailer before continuing on to Oregon and Washington. We appreciate your prayers for us as we navigate these uncertain times.
8. California — July 20
Prevailing dark spirit — Divide and Conquer
Six of us gathered on Monday the 20th of July to worship and pray at the California state capitol in Sacramento. Since we have had so many mechanical issues our travel schedule has been totally disrupted. We apologize to those who may have wanted to join us on the original, appointed day. We will try and post where we are going to be and when we will be there as 
soon as we know.As we were praying at the Capitol in Sacramento, I kept having a sense of “Divide and Conquer”. When we were waiting in the Mojave Desert for a tow to Bakersfield the over-riding sentiment for the state was “broken-down, degraded, and over-heated.” This was certainly what we were experiencing!
It is often said of California that what happens in California is soon coming to a state near you — first California, then the nation. Divide and Conquer. California’s legislature passed a law that allows the top two primary winners to be the two choices on the November ballot; no longer a representative from each party. This last election, after the primaries, two Democrats were the choices on the ballot.
Non-Democrats have lost their voice as far as the election process goes. How does one conquer a state? By taking away the voice of the opposition. One can see manifestations of this being played out with the governor’s orders of silence. Make no mistake about it, wearing a mask is an order of silence; no singing in churches is an order of silence; “social distancing” is an order of silence; “stay home, save lives” is an order of silence.

Divide and Conquer leads to this:
Mat 24:9-14, “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
The 6 of us were having a glorious time of lifting our voices and our hands in worship. It was a beautiful day, the breeze was refreshing and ABBA by His Ruach graced us with His presence. What more could we have asked for!
Mat 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
A bright note — It is reported that Destiny Church of Rocklin, CA defied the governor’s orders and sang in their Sunday service this past weekend. Hallelujah! May others join you, Destiny Church. We will not be silenced!
