WASHINGTON, DC—A million women are slated to gather at the Capitol Mall in Washington D.C. to pray and fast on Saturday, Oct. 12.  The vision for the massive gathering comes from Lou Engle who for decades has been committed to convene large gatherings and fill stadiums to see America turn back to God in the aftermath of The Promise Keepers Men’s Movement which had its biggest event on Oct. 4, 1997 for it’s “Stand In The Gap: A Sacred Assembly of Men” on the Capitol Mall.  This men’s movement was started by former University of Colorado, Boulder football coach Bill McCartney (1982-1994).

Engle organized a Capitol Mall event 24 years ago on Sept. 2, 2000 that brought together 400,000 young peopleto fast and pray on the D.C. Mall. He also organized a gathering of 77,000 people on July 7, 2007 at Titan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.

A Last Stand For America?  

“The vision for ‘A Million Women’ started in 2014. I was in a gathering, and what I would call a ‘prophetic explosion’ took place for two hours,” said Engle. “And one of the words was this: “Like Promise Keepers, a million women will go to the Mall in D.C. It will be the last stand.

“Many people think that we are in a ‘defining moment,’ even in the upcoming elections. If so, then this could be a last stand. These women will come in the spirit of Jeremiah 9. Death has climbed through our windows; children are being cut off, those playing outside and the young men in our streets. We cut them off in the womb, and now we’re cutting them off in our schools and our ideologies. Something’s got to shift right here and now.The million women will come in the spirit of Jeremiah 9:21; they will cry out and save America.

“And then in 2017, another divine convergence took place when witches rose up worldwide to curse President Trump. Why would witches curse him?

“These are my thoughts: Maybe, the spiritual realm understood more than the pulpits of America that this man was a threat to the blood altar of Roe v. Wade. And if that blood altar fell, it would give us a moment, a window of opportunity. When Roe v. Wade ended, the womb of America would open. We prayed, ‘God, end abortion; send revival to America!’ This was our prayer for 18 years, standing and praying in front of the Supreme Court.

“I also think the spirit realm may have understood that this man (President Trump) would connect us with Israel for such a time as this.

An Esther Movement That Will Break Witchcraft

“So, I went to the mountains (Estes Park, Colorado) for three days to fast and pray, asking God, ‘Do you want me to mobilize prayer concerning these witches rising up?’ And on the third night, I have one of the most epic dreams of my whole life.

“In this dream, as far as I could see, women were coming from everywhere, young and old, and they were all comingto hear the book of Esther taught. In the dream, as I was looking at this, I said, ‘This is a women’s revival! I’m looking at a massive women’s movement with the spirit of Esther that will be raised up to break witchcraft!’ And in the dream I was the only man there with an old, ancient Bible.

“In the interpretation of the dream, I think the Lord was saying this to me: ‘I’m giving you an ancient calling of Mordecai to mobilize what you were looking at, a massive women’s Esther movement that will break the witchcraft fueling the ideologies coming into America.’

‘I Am No Man’

“Back to the dream: In the dream, a woman stood up and taught from the book of Esther. While doing so, she said, ‘And these two words in the book of Esther actually mean Nazgul.’

“I exploded out of the dream, instantly knowing what it meant, because I’d watched the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie (the third part), where the Nazgul witch king is destroying the armies of men and says ‘No man can kill me.’ But (in the movie) the king’s daughter takes off her helmet, lets her hair down, and says, ‘I am no man!’ and she pierces the Nazgul witch king.

“I exploded out of the dream knowing that there was coming a women’s movement connected with the Mordecais—men and women (but targeting women) who are going to rise up and challenge the witchcraft, the ideologies of the sprit. And not only that, they will challenge the education systems where these ideologies are trying to destroy our children.

“The brilliance of God is that He would reach into a movie I’d watched years ago and slam it into the present moment through a dream to give us faith that maybe we’re in a moment where we are like promise keepers who put a million men on the Mall.

A Woman Named Esther

“Esther had been named after the goddess Ishtar. Ishtar (also called Ashtoreth) was a goddess in Canaan. The land was controlled by the spirit. Esther was named after Ishtar and was living in the culture under the dominion of that spirit. Ishtar was the goddess of sexual immorality, pornography, and transgenderism. (Read The Return of the Gods by Jonathan Cahn; you will see America in that picture.)

“So here Esther is, literally sex trafficked. She’s an orphan, adopted by a man (her uncle), who has a heart for the woman. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah (Esther 2:7), but she is also Esther. Maybe she’s having an identity issue.

“What happens, though, is that God (represented by Mordecai) cares for her heart. Men must rise up and care for the hearts of women who have been wounded. They’re gonna find their voice, if we give our care and heart for them.

“With Esther, there comes a time, as he’s caring for her heart, when she becomes the queen. And he says to her at a certain moment, ‘Sweetheart, I understand the challenge of your soul, but there comes a time that you can’t live out of your pain. You’ve got to step into your prophecy to change and shape a whole nation.

“I think she understood this. I think she understood that when Haman cast lots (Esther 3) to see when to kill the Jews, he was tapping into divination to fuel his ideology of anti-Semitism. And she understood that you cannot break divination by politics. You have to break it with massive fasting and prayer, which (Esther) called for.

Women Going Public

“Esther broke it in the spirit, through that three-day fast,but she still had to go public. And I believe women are going to do so today. They’re going into the educaton systems and into the political realm. Mothers are going to give birth spiritually to 100,000 salvations in the LGBT movement. We believe Ishtar is going to be nullified in measure, and there’s gonna be a jailbreak (and) a new Jesus Movement when a million women (Esthers) go to the Mall and take communion. Can you imagine a million people, and millions online?

“Who would have guessed when we began to mobilize this that October 7 (attack last year on Israel) would take place, and worldwide anti-Semitism would break out as in Esther’s day. Brothers and sisters, this is not just an accident. God is setting the stage for a massive showdown. When He offered up His blood on Passover, He didn’t just save families, He judged the gods of Egypt. Principalaties and powers were dislodged by the power of the Blood.

“And when we gather on the Day of Atonement, October 12 for ten hours of fasting and prayer, it will be a spiritual court case. The Day of Atonement was literally a court case for the nation of Israel when they went into judgment or into mercy. And I believe a court case has been set on that day; we must get the verdict of mercy! We must get the verdict of mercy!

A Stand Against Hamans

“And here is what I’m also thinking. Haman was a political leader (Esther 3:1). He was the avatar. (An avatar is a host, embodying another.) He was the host of that spirit of Ishtar. That is how he was losing his ideologies.

“Today, we’re in an election where there are avatars, there are hosts carrying the spirit of Ishtar for the offering up of our children to transgenderism, sexual perversion, and abortion.

“We are in a showdown. We believe that on this day something could shift, when Esther says, ‘I’ve come into the Kingdom for such a time as this’ (see Esther 4:14).

“We will gather by thousands on the Mall in D.C., daring to believe that  God is gonna to loose a new Jesus Movement, a new awakening and revival (which is already beginning), and a stand that could literally shift elections. Our stand is not against people but against spirits that are releasing ideologies. There will also be massive repentance.

“And by the way, how can you vote for those who are the avatars of the very things you’ve been repenting for as a nation? I believe we’ve come to a court case: the books are open, the court is seated, and a decision is going to be made on behalf of the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:22), bringing together men and women for such a time as this. That’s the story: Being A Part Of Turning A Nation.

Prayer

“So, in the name of Jesus, Lord we pray that You, would cause the Church to wake up to the crisis, a ‘last stand reality’; that, God, there would be a sound that those who have been prepared will be able to hear. That sound is saying, ‘For such a time as this, you've come into the Kingdom.’ I pray that You, would do what we cannot do; blow the trumpet. God, You can release the sound. We don't even know what's going to happen. So, we just cry out to You, Lord.”

“We know that You've ordained these dreams. We've believed them. Now we ask that You set them in motion. Let the bones rattle. Call to D.C. buses and airplanes; bring them from the north, south, east, and the west to stand before You, and before the blood of the Lamb that speaks a better word. Lord, we give You praise and thanks for this in Jesus' name. Amen.”
