Bind the Nobles prayer campaign

On May 5 and 6 we are to prepare our hearts for a prayer campaign on May 7 called “Bind their Nobles.” It is taken from Psalm 149:8.

This prayer campaign comes from the collusion of multiple people.

Preparation: May 5 and 6

This is to be a time of preparation and heart cleansing, as you are led. Some may be led to pray in certain ways, others to fast as well. Be led by the Spirit. The focus is to reset your heart.

Scripture Background:

In Daniel 4:13-17 we read how King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had a dream of a great tree that was chopped down. Daniel interpreted the tree to be Nebuchadnezzar himself, although by extension this tree was his kingdom of Babylon. The stump of the tree was left, so that it could sprout again at the end of the age. That is the origin of Mystery Babylon that we see today.

In Daniel 4:16 we read,

¹⁶ Let his mind [lebab, “heart”] be changed from that of a man and let a beast’s mind [lebab, “heart”] be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him.

Daniel interpreted this to mean that Babylon itself would have the heart of a beast for a period of “seven times,” which is 2,520 years (7 x 360). For Nebuchadnezzar himself, this was applied in short-term prophecy of just 7 literal years, and when his time ended, he recognized the sovereignty of God and gave praise to Him (Daniel 4:34, 35, 36, 37).

In other words, at the end of “seven times,” his beast-heart was replaced with a man’s heart as before, except that now he knew that he himself was not sovereign but was under God.

The application

We have come to the end of the “seven times” judgment cycle, wherein God gave dominion to this beast system that has had the heart and mind of a beast. That is, the Babylonian succession of world empires has functioned from a motive of self-interest to dominate others and to use them as “prey.” That time, as I have shown previously, expired in October 2017, and we have been watching the collapse of the world system since then.

This week we are being instructed to take another step in the progression of the Kingdom. We want to give back the heart of man to the kings and nobles of Mystery Babylon, so that they may truly repent, even as Nebuchadnezzar repented at the end of his personal cycle. We can do this, because we recognize that the beast systems of government, headed by men with the hearts of a beast, have ended, and it is now time to restore their human heart in preparation for their day of repentance.

Overall, there will be repentance, especially when the Holy Spirit is poured out. However, we also recognize that not all of these individual nobles will repent. Just as Belshazzar was killed at the end of 70 years, so also will some follow his example.

Our calling, those whose eyes are opened to see these things, is to pray the will of God and to say Amen to His plan. To do this, our own hearts must first be in alignment with His will and word. So we have set aside two days of preparation and heart-cleansing on May 5 and 6. Above all, we want to make sure we do not have traces of beast DNA in our hearts that would cause us to judge in unrighteousness.

Bind their Nobles Prayer Campaign: May 7, 2020

This is the model prayer, designed to bring us into unity of purpose. Please pray this at least once on day of prayer.

Heavenly Father, we come before Your Divine Court this day in the name of Jesus and under His blood. We put on the whole armor of God, taking the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, and having our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. We take the shield of faith as our protection and the sword of the Spirit as our weapon of choice, for it is Your Word.

Father, we ask that You would turn the hearts of the rulers of Babylon, giving them hearts of flesh so that they may repent and recognize that You alone are sovereign. Fulfill Your word and let Nebuchadnezzar’s pattern of repentance be repeated today. But let this repentance remain in their hearts, so they will never again return to the works and mindset of the beast’s heart.

Our sword of the Spirit is Your New Covenant word in Ezekiel 36:24-27,

²⁴ For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. ²⁵ Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. ²⁶ Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

Psalm 149:6-9,

⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword be in their hand ⁷ to execute vengeance on the nations and correction upon the peoples, ⁸ to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron, ⁹ to execute on them the judgment written; this is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the Lord!

Father, bind them with Your chains and execute Your vengeance by overcoming evil with good (Romans 12:21). Pour out Your Spirit upon the sinners, so that they may come into full agreement with Your Kingdom. Thank-you for hearing our petition, for we pray in Jesus’ name.
