all right good evening everyone Jennifer LeClaire here with you senior leader of
The Awakening House of Prayer in South Florida founder of the Ignite prophetic
Network author of many books some of which you may read my point is you
probably know me you probably know of me if you've been following me if you're on
this broadcast this is probably not your first encounter with me you know that I
am pressing hard into the will of the Lord you know that I have made prayer my
life's work just as God told me to back in 2012 and so I'm here today in that
context in the context of prayer and I want to thank you all for joining in
with me tonight I want to press into a certain issue that we see happening on
the i-4 corridor I want to expound a bit and I want to pray I want to share some
some strategy I want to cast some vision and I want you to pay real close
attention and be ready with questions I want you to to really hear what I am
saying and understand the times you know the Bible says the sons of Issachar they
understood the times and they knew what Israel ought to do what we how we should
respond himself I want to talk about this issue just starting off on a very
broad level many of you know that I served as the editor of charisma
magazine and I was actually on contract staff there when I say contract staff I
was not an employee I did not work in the office praise God I worked from my
home office but I did serve there for eight years in an editorial capacity and
over that time you know of course charisma based in Lake Mary which is a
suburb as part of the greater Orlando region during that eight years I can't
even I cannot even count on two hands the number of scandals that we saw break
out along that I four corridor which goes from Tampa to Orlando
I cannot even count on one on two hands the number of scandals the number of
drug overdoses of pastors immoral Affairs all manner of immorality really
a pastors falling pastors committing suicide
and so we see a very strong assignment against the central part of the state we
see a very strong a spirit of Jezebel operating in the i-4 corridor now so
this is this is sort of the answer to to the question why does so many pastors
fall in Orlando you know we cannot blame everything on the devil right but we do
need to undergird our cities our region's our churches our pastors with
prayer and I do not believe although there's some great ministries there
there are some great prayer ministries in the region of Orlando I don't believe
in my heart of hearts that there is enough prayer going on listen there's
all kinds of Prayer the Bible talks about praying with all hi all kinds or
all manners of Prayer and I don't believe we have enough Watchmen I don't
believe we've identified enough prophets prophetic people prophetic intercessors
I don't believe we have stationed them correctly or that we have necessarily
the Intel that we need to push back the darkness not only have we seen all
manner of immorality in idolatry in Orlando we've also seen some tragedies
we've seen some shootings we've seen all sorts of of issues now Orlando is very
well known around the world so when something happens in Orlando the eyes of
the world are upon it as a matter of fact the name Orlando means famous land
and we've seen that we've seen that Orlando is a famous land mostly
predominantly originally because of Walt Disney World amen
because of Disney and Universal came in so we see here now that Orlando is an
epicenter for entertainment and many times listen you know this if you've
seen or you've looked at Hollywood at any measure we've seen there's such
perversion in Hollywood there's a wonderful spirit of creativity a
wonderful spirit of innovation but there's also a lot of I doubt there's
perversion and so we see this to a lesser scale perhaps in Orlando in other
words Orlando is not the mecca that Hollywood is
berlando is an entertainment capital in the world Orlando has one of the busiest
airports in the world why because so many people are flying in and out in
order to go to Disney World and the other tourist attractions that are there
Orlando has a lot of great things going for it there's also a lot of war I have
to wonder and I'm pressing in to discern what is the destiny of Orlando what is
the mandate the mantle for this city for the people of this city listen I was
born in Orlando many people don't know that I was born in Orlando I actually
went to college part of my college experience was in Orlando so I've spent
a lot of years there I met the father of my child in Orlando ok my parents still
live in Orlando I have a lot of friends in Orlando Orlando has a lot of memories
for me and I am determined to see the city
fulfill its destiny I'm not called to go to in all cities or pray for all cities
neither are you but if you are in Orlando then you have a vested interest
in seeing the will of God come to pass what is the will of God I believe that
the Lord wants to bring a great revival to Orlando and we always see Jezebel
begin to move in and operate in the region's predominantly where we witness
been marked for revival we know it's God's will for revival to break out all
over the place and I do believe according to what the Lord told me in
2007 that we will see a Great Awakening in America but there's some cities that
are forerunners are some cities that just have something special and that is
why then a push is so hard to try to destroy its reputation to try to destroy
its destiny before it can ever be completed I was born in Orlando I I
spent so many so much time I still go to Orlando Orlando is a great city but
we're seeing pastors fall we're seeing pastors commit suicide where and I
believe that part of the reason is because of a dearth of Prayer not just
soaking prayer wall for soaking prayer not just a warfare prayer only but
decorative prayer you know prophetic acts strikes so there's there's there's
there there's just you know if every Church in
the city you know prayed without ceasing I think we would still need more prayer
this is the level of prayer we need to see in the region so you know you begin
to talk about these sorts of things and all you hear about is well competition
we don't want anybody else we've been here praying we've been here church and
we've been here evangelizing we've been here disciple you know but you know what
if we would stop all the competition and begin to press in maybe there would be
so much pressure on pastors and then we keep falling to these temptations
Orlando is a great city it's one of the most dynamic cities in America according
to earth magazine KPMG which is the accounting firm list Orlando is the
second most competitive business location among u.s. large cities so we
see a lot of businesses moving in we see a lot of commercial real estate moving
in we see a lot of innovation moving in Forbes ranks Orlando is the number three
city for future job growth so Orlando listen to me Orlando is a very
futuristic city that's one of the words I have no moral interest acceding
Orlando is setting the pace for for a lot of the rest of the the cities in the
nation as far as creativity as far as innovation as far as dynamism
Entertainment Orlando setting the pace Orlando is not like LA you can't make a
direct comparison but they're both sort of hubs if you will for this innovation
and creativity that we so need in America and that we so need in the
church the Lord told me this time last year Here I am I'm in Dallas right now I
just got out of the global prophetic counsel I'm part of the Apostolic
Council prophetic elders I'm here with Cindy Jacobs and Lou Engel and Bishop
Hammond and many many others Bobby Connor and Stacey Campbell and Patricia
Cain so we're here pressing in and you know this time last year while I was
here at this council the Lord began to prophesy through me about a spirit of
innovation coming on to the church that is his will and we've seen a lot of
churches innovate in Orlando is prime the church in Orlando the houses of
Prayer in Orlando are prime for this kind of innovation if it's a future up
types of futuristic city it's a futuristic city that attracts
futurist I'll expand that in another broadcast but Orlando is
number two tied with Portland among a Real Estate's
most creative cities in America see this creative mantle is all over Orlando but
there's also a ton of immorality and not just in the church I'm not going to get
into all these statistics but I'm gonna tell you there's poverty increasing in
Orlando ridiculous considering the wealth that's there that poverty would
be rising one of the highest crime rates in America is in Orlando this is a
problem this is a matter of prayer so here we see a creative mantle that's
being perverted and misused and not not across the board but in many ways we see
poverty on the rise we see high crime rates and yet we see the destiny of
Orlando and I submit to you that these i-4 corridor pastors are falling not
only because of Jezebel listen they gotta take responsibility for their own
selves drug deal doses suicides these problems were seeing in the church but
we're even seeing in the sexual I just read about a woman she filmed herself
doing something really sexually perverse at her desk and the Orange County Human
Resources Division she was also taking secret photos that were inappropriate so
we're seeing this immorality just and that's just a quick internet search this
just happened a couple of a couple of like less than two months ago this was
just a quick google search for 30 seconds immorality in Orlando are very
strongly tied but the church can and will rise up the houses of prayer can
and will rise up but we don't have a strong enough concentration we need to
move beyond soaking and into travail there are things to be birthed in
Orlando there are things to be done groanings to come forth in Orlando you
know in Ezekiel 22 verses 30 and 31 the Lord says I looked for a man a person
among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf
of the land so I would not have to destroy what I found none we're seeing
destruction I'm not saying it's the hand of the Lord listen it is not the hand of
the Lord but we're seeing that the enemy according to John 10 verse 10 has come
in to steal kill and destroy G
said I came that you might have life in abundance to the full until it overflows
and so we have to understand that that there is there's a it's like Orlando is
seeing abundance but Orlando is also seeing death and destruction and we need
to tip the scales toward the glory of God
we need to tip the scales toward the righteousness and the justice of God we
need to tip the scales toward the toward the the safety of God we see so much
violence in this city you know uh this book called prayer altars by John Wall
Dean and Mark Daniels and they say this listen there is no such thing as neutral
spiritual ground either there will be a predominance of holy altars drawing the
presence of God or unholy altars drawing the power of darkness the altar that is
most active will control the territory and will influence everything in that
territory now this is this is a real deal I was in Orlando I think was two
years ago now it was right it was all my birthday I think two years ago and we
were in a House of Prayer there they believed it was a radience house none
that radience House of Prayer forgive me my mind is slipping on on what I've been
up since 4:00 in the morning praying through these prophetic words here at
the apostolic Council listen it was a house of prayer and Ken Malone had a
meeting and in that meeting of this prayer meeting this convocation the Lord
showed me to deal with the Thrones this was specifically for Orlando to deal
with the throne see the Bible says that God is enthroned on our praises he
inhabits the praises of our people is what some translations of that Psalm
says he is enthroned so whatever we worship whatever we praise whatever we
celebrate were enthroning and the Bible speaks you know Derek Prince talked a
lot about not just dominions but also Thrones and we don't talk a lot about
Thrones but you can find an article I wrote if you type in Jennifer LeClaire
Thrones Orlando you'll find that article I might
teach on that at another time but right now I want to press in to this we have
to understand the sin I'm no longer just about revival I don't need another goose
bump I don't need to lay hands on one more
have them shiver and shake and manifest a demon and have the demon I don't I
don't I love to do that but i'm wanting transforming revival i'm wanting to see
a city saved i'm wanted to see a city turned upside down for jesus you know
they only had you only had 12 you know Jesus had 12 disciples and they turned
the place upside down they just did dramatic works of God miracles signs and
wonders they were walking talking houses of prayer amen to an order for
transformational revival to come the spiritual atmosphere and the authority
of the city must change I've been doing a little bit of spiritual mapping in
Orlando look we have a lot of work to do I know some of you who are listening in
or not necessarily from or land you're not necessarily in Orlando but I have a
vested interest there I own property there my parents live there I was born
there I have an authority there and so do you and so I just I want to invite
you to be part of this project we are launching a House of Prayer in Orlando
in January I'd like to do a whole nother call just to pray see who's really in
another broadcast here this is gonna be a strategic hub this is gonna be for
lack of a better way to describe it an intercessory warfare command center and
networking said a revival center listen this is gonna be like a birthing room
III love soaking I love soaking I love soaking but I feel like there's a time
to soak and a time to soar a time to soak and a time to war and I think that
in this season to fight for the destiny of Orlando
we need prayer warriors who know how to fight people who are not afraid to
contend with the principalities and powers the Thrones the dominions that
are over this city and over our state the forerunner state do you know many
prophecies there's been spoken over Florida revival full runner come on
Orlando we need to rise up and begin to understand what the will of the Lord is
and begin to declare and decree the will of the Lord instead of just petitioning
you know petitioning is a great thing there's nothing wrong petitioning but we
have to understand we're to move out of that priestly mental and into the kingly
mantle for the glory of God and so I want to invite you if you're at all
interested in this reach out to me if you're watching listening later reach
