A Place to Run Into to be Saved
When Joshua told Caleb he could go take his inheritance, he conquered Kiriath Arba, the city of the giants. He renamed it Hebron again – “place of friendship, intimacy, and covenantal friendship with God.” Hebron went on to become one of the cities of refuge. If the Hebrews had accidentally killed someone, there were six cities established in Israel where they could run to. They could be protected from family members taking vengeance on them. The New Testament tells us that these cities of refuge were pictures of Jesus or types of Christ—a place they could run into and be saved. (THE TURNAOUND EVENT STARTS TONIGHT.

“The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.” (Proverbs 8:10; NLT)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Decree that the United States of America will be transformed from a Kiriath Arba to a Hebron.
- Check your own life – are you living a Hebron relationship with the Lord? If not, talk with Him about it and correct that right now.
- Declare that those coming into the Kingdom will find a safe place, a strong tower of refuge, from their past and the world’s ways. Say, “The giants are falling and the harvest of souls is being released!”
- Intercede for the Church, that we will find a place of joy in an intimate friendship with God that is so tangible that those that don’t know Him will want Him.
A prayer you can pray:
Lord, tonight we will meet together and believe that our nation will begin to turn toward You! You are the love many are looking for. You are the safety we seek. You are the answers to our societal pain and mess. YOU are who we need, Jesus! Come and visit America! We want You here! Ignore those who don’t know You or who reject You. Ignore so-called Christians that think You don’t care or that You’ve given up on America. Come, Lord, Jesus, come! Be our strong tower, our refuge, our love, our hope, and our future! Amen.
Today’s decree:
We decree that America’s day of turning to God has come!
