(The Christian Post) A major intercessory prayer event calling the United States back to its covenant relationship with God is slated for early January in Plant City, Florida.
In an interview with The Christian Post, Kevin Jessip, the president of Global Strategic Alliance, explained that what is being called “The Renewal” will be a continuation of The Return. The first event took place on Sept. 26, 2020, on Shabbat Shuva, coinciding with the Sabbath Day when the passage in Joel 2 — about calling a holy fast and a day of repentance — is read in synagogues.
That September day on the National Mall was characterized by massive repentance and prayer as tens of thousands of Christians from across all denominations came to the nation’s capital to pray, fast and intercede.
Jessip explained that their vision behind that day was characterized by five R’s aimed at spiritually restoring the nation. Repentance comes first, which leads to reconciliation, followed by restoration and then comes revival. After that comes reformation.
