First Coast Prayer Focus

First Coast Prayer Assignment

By: Ken Malone

Week Two September 25-October 2

Week One of the First Coast Prayer Assignment was successful. Many from the First Coast, state and nation, entered into worship and prayer for the first region of our nation. There were a couple of people from different states stopped in St Augustine while passing through to make the decrees in the first watch. I’m so thankful for all who have entered in.

Recap of the First Coast Prayer Assignment.

While in a prayer meeting on September 9, 2022, in High Springs Florida, Holy Spirit took me in my vision to the First Coast of Florida. In the vision, I was positioned over the entire region from the Georgia line down to Flagler County.  As I overlooked the First Coast, I could see that the atmosphere over the region was clear, inviting, and defining. It seemed to me the entire region was waiting for its destiny to be revealed.  As I’m watching in this vision, I hear Holy Spirit say, “Tell the First Coast to take the First Watch to see revival and transformation come to the region.”  It’s time! The hour of breakthrough and revival for the First Coast is here. It’s time for the revealing of the sons of God.

Possess the Gates

The First Watch, possesses the gates of time. The first watch is the entrance of time for the night watches. It’s crucial to possess the gates through worship and intercession.  We own the night!  The gates of a city can be physical entries to a city, but can also be government buildings, key leader’s offices, churches, businesses, the beach, etc. Next, go through the gates. Go to each gate within the entrance to your city and release prayer, worship, and intercession. Isaiah 62:10, Go through, go through the gates, clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.  Proclaim Psalm 24:7-10 TPT, So wake up, you living gateways!  Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. 8 You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, Yahweh, invincible in every way! 9 So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you eternal doors! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. 10 You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, He is the King of Glory!

A Watch of Thanksgiving

The First Watch is a time of entering His gates with Thanksgiving. The word of the Lord tells us we are to enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with Praise. (Psalm 100:4) As you enter the First Watch, enter with a heart filled with Praise and Thanksgiving. Bring Him the sacrifice of praise. Hebrews 13:15, “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.”

Prayer Strategy for Week Two

1. Healing the Land. 2 Chronicles 7:14, “and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” There is a portion of this scripture that we have neglected to pray. That portion is—”and will heal their land.” Remind our Lord of this portion of His word. His promise to you says, that He will heal the land upon entering this covenant with Him. Yahweh has made you and I responsible for our land being healed.  

• Unity is a Key within the Kingdom. Psalm 133, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! ² It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes. ³ It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever.” Ask our Lord to teach us how to dwell with one another. The results will be unity which releases the blessing. Proclaim heart unity between the pastors of the region. Decree heart unity between our brothers and sisters in Christ. Make decrees of UNITY over the First Coast. Proclaim, “the First Coast prepares the way for UNITY in Florida and the nation.

• Prayer and Worship Drives—Prayer Walks.  As you drive or walk through the region; worship, make decrees, forgive the iniquities, wounds, and hurts. Command healing over the region. In 2003 Cheryl and I made a drive across Florida on U.S. 1.  It was called the U.S. 1 Liberty Prayer Tour. During the tour we proclaimed “Liberty throughout the land.” (Leviticus 25:10)

• Decree the word of Yahweh over the region. Psalm 119:130 NKJV, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” Proclaim Isaiah 53:5; Malachi 4:2; Joel 2:28-32. Decree any scripture Holy Spirit gives you. Let His word enter into the First Coast.
