Nesbit, MO

While researching Europa, MO we discovered a historic little community that once existed a few miles east of Europa. Nesbit had once had a store, a school and a church. While at a home-going recently I also discovered I have a cousin who presently live a mile from Europa.

We felt that we needed to visit Nesbit before going to Europa so that I could repent of any root issues my bloodlines may have deposited in that area.

This area is in a sparsely populated region several miles south of Kennett, MO, which is the hometown of singer Sheryl Crow.

As we arrived at a town close to where we thought Nesbit, MO was located, we asked the police and post office and no one had ever heard of a Nesbit, MO, yet Google said it existed.

Feeling the pressure of time, I felt we needed to press on to Europa, as we drew near to a garage I asked the driver to pull in, I wanted to ask one more person if they had ever heard of Nesbit, MO.

A very large man dressed in over-alls and blind in his left eye met me. He was an old-timer and when I asked about Nesbit, MO he said,

“O yeah, I used to live not far from there” and then he thought a minute and gave me very specific directions… “Go past where the black top turns, keep going straight, third road you come to make a left go… let me see? I believe that it is the second road you come to, make a right and it is back down that road, it’s been a long time.”

We followed his directions to the best of our ability and wound up a mile or so down a gravel road, three houses set at a cross road, one of the team members Dwayne Williams got out to ask where Nesbit was. When he returned he said, “We’re here! The store was there and the church was right over there.

Before we began this journey the Lord had instructed me that it was very important when we walked upon the land to be silent before Him and let the land speak to us.

We went to where the church was located got down on our knees and thanked God.

We presented ourselves to him and waited for the land to speak to us.

As I counseled with the team about what they had heard, Louise Mileur saw a black mother drawing her children close for fear of the KKK. Remember, our mandate was to uproot an anti-Semitic spirit from the land, which is the root of all racism. This led to deep repentance, we rejoiced greatly as we danced with the Lord in intercession.

We also repented of the treatment Tecumseh and his people received at the hands of our forefathers that would drive him to release bitter curses upon the land.

At each stop on this journey we would sever the connection between Leviathan, Jezebel, and Baal. We ended the season of intercession with communion, driving stakes, and releasing the sound of the shofar from Nesbit, MO.

Scriptures: 2 Chron 7:14, Jer.1:7-10, Luke3:9, Is. 27:1, Is. 52:12, Gen. 1:27-28, Gen. 3:5, Jer. 8:22

Europa, MO-

Europa is located where the old-timer had said, where the blacktop turns… in the center of this intersection is a grassy triangle with a huge power pole in the middle. Louise had led the team of intercessors to Europa on July 28 but it was raining so hard the prayed just down the road at Lulu Baptist church, they were kind enough to give the team shelter from the storm.

Here we repented of the “Beast System” Europa being the name of the statue in front of the European Union of a woman riding a bull. Rev. 17:3

We felt that we wanted to drive a stake right at the base of the power pole and link all of the previous intercessions through the years to this point. We worshipped, prayed took communion, released the sound of the shofar, and staked that sucker.

Scriptures: Gen. 12:1-3, Is. 27:1, Rev. 19:1, Rev. 18:1-24

Sikeston, MO-

We followed our trusty Google directions to Clayton Park and arrived at the intersection of streets where the park was supposed to be located, but it wasn’t there.

We wandered around town looking for the park and finally a police officer gave us correct directions.

When we arrived at a park of litter and disrepair, in the poor side on town, heaviness was in the air. Again we bowed low and repented of the anti-Semitic spirit, the root source of racism, and the religious spirit.

There was a very large tree that had been cut down to a stump. It reminded us very much of the stump of Daniel 4. We prayed and took communion and drove a stake at the base of the stump. We then moved to higher ground drove another stake, worshipped and released the sound of the shofar and resound to Israel.

Scriptures: Is. 1:9-11, Is. 27:1, Ps. 85, Dan. 4

Cape Girardeau, MO-

We prayed at the base of the floodwall in Cape Girardeau, standing on large granite pavers, in front of a large mural, which basically depicted the territory this journey would cover.

As we began to pray we received a phone call from team member Daniel Brown, who couldn’t join as he was taking care of his wonderful wife, Diane, who has been very ill. He had just gotten a dire report concerning her and needed intercession. This turned into another powerful season of intercession. The sound of the shofars echoed through the city.

Scriptures: Ez. 47, Is. 62:10, Zec. 4:4-7, Zec. 8:1-8,20, Is. 53:1, Is. 27:1
