All State Borders Covered!

This morning IFA posted my third article about the Command the Foreword initiative: 

Lord, thank You for inspiring and empowering your people to anoint every state border before our deadline. We praise You for the many ways Your people are commanding the foreword from coast to coast, declaring our founding documents to You Who inspired them! Hear our prayers for protection, healing, and revival!

“The Paint Your State/Command the Foreword assignment has now been completed,” Dutch Sheets announced in the September 1 Give Him 15 post. IFA has been reporting on this initiative, and we’re so blessed by how many of you have taken part! All state borders have been covered, and intercessors have gone above and beyond the assignment to pray at every border county line, except for eight in the remotest parts of Alaska.

Here’s the latest map of how many county borders were prayed over: 

Here’s the video embedded in the article of me praying through some southern states:

And here’s a photo of the snake the three women mentioned in the article found dead: 

I had to ask if the photo was actually of the dead snake since it looks so alive! Carol Kemp assured me that was how they found it, but it was dead.

Joyce and I are typically on Pray with Others Live the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month, but today I got to fill in for one of my colleagues. Among others, I covered an article I wrote about a new podcast detailing the investigation and trial of the serial baby killer Kermit Gosnell: " Curses from Child Sacrifice Are Broken."

I got to praise the Lord in Mississippi, where the Dobbs Case originated, for the abolition of Roe v. Wade:

When I first arrived on the Belhaven campus they were playing Chariots of Fire on the speakers outside their athletic complex. What a way to welcome me (by the random player of sports-themed music) to perform the rest of the Chariots story with my play: RichDrama.com/BeyondTheChariots .

The next day we had breakfast at this new diner that looks like it's been running since the '50's. They served my coffee in a cup with New York on it.

I just got back from Jackson, MS, to teach and perform at Belhaven University. Jackson is the home of best man at our wedding,  Mac Nelson. He taught at Belhaven several years ago. There are four Belhaven alums that I got to work with as students, and one is attending Belhaven now.

Mississippi marks the 37th state in which I've taught and/or performed.

I didn't have time to go into her home, which is now a museum across the street from Belhaven University.

These two buildings on the Belhaven University campus used to be joined until a fire destroyed the connecting structure.

Sometimes days planned with great care can be a bit of a letdown because they couldn't possibly live up to the expectation.

And then there are days like today!

I had planned to fly back from Jackson, MS, in the afternoon in case a booking developed for Sunday morning. It didn't, but I was thrilled to visit Joe Frost's church. He's the one that invited me down to teach and perform at Belhaven University, and he'd told me how they sit around tables, and people can draw on the paper table covers as they're inspired by worship and the Word.

I had sat next to Joe's pastor, Doug, at the dance concert, but since the pastor's wife chairs the dance department we talked mostly about the concert, so I didn't realize he was Joe's pastor until I walked into the church. We struck up a conversation, and he asked if I'd perform something. He was preaching on a passage dealing with obedience, so I offered the Gethsemane scene from Journey to the Garden ( www.RichDrama.com/JourneyToTheGarden).

Then a woman took a Compassion packet ( www.RichDrama.com/Compassion) though she has no work right now. I told her I'd ask you to pray with us that she'll land a job before the child's packet expires on May 13.

After that, at the church and on the journey to NYC (I actually flew into Newark and drove to Princeton, where I'll teach in the University tomorrow) I was able to express the Love of Jesus to people from Mexico, Korea, the Dominican Republic, and Brooklyn.

The Lord is SO good! Today exceeded my expectations many times over!
