Prayer changes things and we have a limited time before there is a crucial moment in the history
of the United States of America. And as we look back in our history, there has been times where
there has been calls to prayer and repentance that have changed the course of our nation's future.
And with me today is Troy Anderson, the author of The Trump Code and Pastor Baal Begley. And we are
talking about this prayer movement, 40 Days to Save America. For more information about this,
you can visit RevelationWatchers.com. But we're going to talk about this amazing prayer movement.
So Troy, how did this prayer movement get started specifically?
Yeah, John, this movement is inspired by the interview I did with Billy Graham back in 2013.
I wrote a seven part series of articles. And in that interview, what really struck me is you said,
when God sent the prophet, Jonah to Nineveh, to warn them of judgment, the king and the people
repented. And he believed the same thing could happen again this time in America. So I was so
inspired by that. In my second book, Trompocalypse, we called for a national day of repentance. And
then despite a gigantic miracle that actually happened, it was called The Return. It was on
the National Mall. About a quarter million people showed up and 42 million people watched that.
And President Trump actually flew over in Marine One and issued a proclamation for a day of prayer
and return. He's the first president to do this since Abraham Lincoln. And then this year, we had
this great North American eclipse. He went through all these towns called Nineveh. Who knew there's
all these towns called Nineveh, America? So I wrote that story for Chisma. Is this our Nineveh
moment, our chance to turn back to God? So here a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to Dr. Larry
Kiefauver. He's a writer for Kevin Jess, who's a co-founder of The Return. And the thought just
sort of popped in my head, 40 days to save America. We need to pray, fast, and repent. September 26th
to November 5th, the 40 days before the election. And perhaps we could see a big turnaround in
America. So that's the idea behind this campaign. Yeah. So we are in the midst of this right now,
as we're recording this. And whenever people are watching this, you are always welcome to pray.
But specifically, this movement is from September 26th until November 5th, which is Election
Tuesday. Pastor Paul, what is your involvement with this? And what is God speaking to you about
these prayers? Well, when Troy approached me with this, I thought it was a great idea. And 40 days
before the election, we started this fasting and praying. And then it's amazing how things in
America has come to a head. We have this horrible hurricane that recently hit and the devastation
it's done in about 11 states. And you couple that with the strike of the longshoremen and what this
has done to the supply chain. America is really in a critical moment. But we are a nation that has
been bleeding from the southern border. We've been hurting all across America with these endless wars
and people are confused. So this was that America really needs clarity and only God can give clarity.
So I think what Troy did when he brought this up and said, Hey, Paul, we got to pray. And I told my
followers that and thousands of them now have joined in this 40 day fast and prayer. It will
change things, John. So for 40 days, what is the strategy that the Lord has given you guys to
really keep everybody motivated and moving forward in unity? Because it's one thing to say, let's pray
for these for this period of time on the calendar. But how are you keeping people unified? Because
we know that when there is an agreement in prayer, when there was unity in prayer,
there's power. Yeah, John. So what we're doing is we have this newsletter called revelationwatchers.com.
That's a joint newsletter with Pastor Paul Begley. And each day we're setting out a prayer.
And we're also including prayers of the presidents, you know, from George Washington to Abraham
Lincoln, they would often call for these national days of prayer, fasting and repentance. Sometimes
they call it humiliation. And George Washington, you know, he credited that event with the birth of
America, with the colonial forces beating the British Empire during the Revolutionary War.
Abraham Lincoln in 1863, he called for a national day of prayer, fasting and repentance. And he
credited it with the North, you know, winning over the South and ending the scourge of slavery and
saving the country. And so there's many presidents that call for these events. It's all modeled
after what the ancient Hebrews would do at times of national crisis. They would call for a sacred
solemn assembly, and they would ask God to intervene. They would pray, fast and repent.
God would intervene and turn things around. You know, America is experiencing a classic
civilizational collapse. This is what experts have told me that I've interviewed. There's been many
different, you know, civilizations throughout history. They lasted about 240 years on average.
I think we're about 10 years past our expiration date. And so we are witnessing all the different
signs that experts see with civilizational classes in the past. And so I think the only
answer for America is to turn back to God in prayer, humility and repentance and ask Him to
intervene in this situation. So why do we need to get to a place of prayer, fasting and repentance?
It seems like if we are the children of God and we've been, you know, we've are doing what we're
supposed to be doing, it seems like there wouldn't be this need. How did this happen? How did we get
to this place where I believe that prayer, fasting and repentance is the right answer, is the things
that we need. But how did we get here, Pastor Paul? Well, I think it starts, great question, John. I
think that starts with the fact we're not doing what we're supposed to do. And that's allowed us
as a nation to fall into this abyss of darkness spiritually. Now, I'm not saying Christians aren't
doing what they're supposed to do, but as a country overall, we've allowed a lot of the left agendas
and some of the anti-Christian, Judeo-Christian principles to be removed systematically from
our schools, from our homes, from our judicial system. And after a while, you know, you can't
just keep walking as a society contrary to the word of God, things will break down. And then when
things break down, people realize we've got to do something. And the Christians always say,
well, we got to get back to God. Okay. So here we are at that critical moment where it's time to pray,
to fast. Cause the Lord said in 2 Chronicles 7 14, if my people that are called by my name would
humble themselves and pray and seek my face, He said, I would, and for, you know, I would hear from
heaven, I'll forgive their sin and heal the land. So we've got to forsake the wickedness that's been
going on and cry out to God. God's wanting to hear from us. We're doing that now. Yeah. So you
mentioned earlier, Troy, about the return, which was this, I remember watching it on streaming
devices cause I couldn't be there in Washington, DC for that. But I remember that literally as this
was happening, this, this return event, we had, Jonathan Cahn was on stage and they were blowing
the shofars. This was a significant moment. And literally as that was happening, I was watching
on, on my iPad on one device and on another device, I was watching the announcement of the,
the Supreme court justice nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, which we know that the appointing of her
really solidified what would eventually become the overturning of Roe versus Wade in the Dobbs
versus Jackson case. So we see some direct connections with that spiritually prophetically
there. What other things have you seen and what some of these, what are some of the things that
you believe that we might see? Yeah. So, I mean, you know, after the return, you know, many people
thought that, you know, president Trump would get elected in 2020, but then he didn't. So, so why,
why is that? I mean, you know, we know about everything that happened probably in the
background, but, you know, why did God allow that? So I think that, you know, God wanted to reveal
this just how wicked and corrupt everything's become. And the last four years, people sort of
wake, wake, woke it up to this agenda. You know, we've got the United nations agenda, 2030, you
know, you own nothing and be happy. You know, the world economic forms, great reset plan, you know,
they're, they're pushing us into some kind of global system. And, and the concern is, I mean,
you know, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. born not too long ago, is it possible we could go into some kind of
totalitarian system? You know, I don't know how fast something like that can happen. But, you know,
the apostle John warned in the book of Revelation that at some point, there would be a rise of an
Antichrist and a false prophet in a one world system, mark of the beast. And so are we on the
verge of those events? You know, but Pastor Bailey and I wrote a book called Revelation 9 11, sort of
exploring that, you know, I've got this book, the Trump Code looking at, you know, what role might
God have for president Trump? I mean, we just watched two assassination attempts and he's,
he survived everything. So it seems like God's hand is on him. He has a mission and purpose for
him. And so I think it's incumbent on us to pray fast, you know, repent and intercede for our
country. Yeah. So Pastor Paul, I have this question for you. So four years ago, we had this risk
return, the repentance. And I've been to many rallies, and I've been to many events where there
is a call for repentance. My question for you is when have we repented enough? Good question. Well,
whenever we, we repent and change, which is what the word repentance means. I mean, it's one thing
to say, Lord, I'm sorry. But if you don't ever change, if you want things to change, you got to
change some things. And when we repent and say, Lord, we're guilty, we're repenting of this, and
we're going to walk on a different path. We're going to follow your path. And when we start to
see America shift in that direction, and it does, it starts at the pulpits across America, in, in,
in inspiring the people to do it. And then we see the results of it in the legislative branches,
or the executive branches, when it filters up all the way to the top of our government. When we start
seeing laws passed, when we start seeing Supreme Court justices have the courage to make the right
decisions, when we see presidential candidates stand up for what's right, and to run against the
grain in a lot of cases, then God sees true repentance, he sees there's a change going on.
He steps in, then it brings, you know, he'll part the waters at that point. So you're saying
primarily that repentance starts in the heart, but then it needs to get to our feet in our hands.
Absolutely. I mean, it's no good if you don't, you know, the Bible says faith without works is dead,
you know. So believing is one thing, but doing is another. And if you put the two together, it's a,
it's a winning recipe. And through the prayer and fasting, and these 40 days, look, Nineveh,
as Troy said, the Nineveh moment that Billy Graham spoke to him about in that great interview,
the Nineveh moment certainly is this, they, they got desperate. Sometimes it takes desperation
to get participation. And then when that took place, 40 days later, God held back the, you know,
I've had people ask me, was Jonah a false prophet because he prophesied the destruction? No,
the prophecy he gave was correct. The results change. When God sees us change our hearts,
God can change his mind. And I think that's what we've seen happen. And we can see it again.
We have our chance right now. Yeah. So how many people have gotten involved with this that you
can tell so far and what are you expecting over the next, you know, 30 some days at this point,
Troy? Yeah. So, so far, my, my first co-author, Dr. Paul McGuire, he's joined us. Derek Gilbert's
a host at Skywatch TV. He's joined us. Dr. Bruce Oliver has a top 100 Christian podcast. He's
joined us. Dr. Larry Kiefauver. And as I'm doing all these media interviews for this new book,
the Trump Code, I'm encouraging believers to pray fast, repent during this 40 days. We're sending
out these newsletters that, you know, hundreds of thousands of opens each month. And I'm reaching
out to many of my media contacts and asking them to do interviews. And so, you know, I never
expected when I called for that National Day repentance, it would actually happen. It's just
a gigantic miracle, the Holy Spirit. So I'm believing the same thing again, this time that
this, this message will spread across the country. It'll help, you know, ignite this movement of
prayer, fast repentance. I just saw a great video on CBN news says there's revivals of thousands of
kids getting saved at college campuses across the country. So I think the Holy Spirit's moving,
you know, major things are happening. And so I just encourage people to, you know, get involved
in this, pray fast. You know, we just skip a couple of lunches a week kind of thing, or, you
know, give up something and, you know, ask God to forgive you and, you know, try to be, you know,
more moral and good and, you know, turn from our wicked ways.
Yeah. So being intentional with our repentance, being intentional with our prayers and make sure
that we are focused on what the Lord's telling us to do. And so if we want to make sure that we
are united, go to, for more information, go to revelationwatchers.com and you can get these,
you can get this email, which will help give you opportunities to pray for specific things on
specific days with this large movement of people. And so I just want to encourage everybody to go
check that out, sign up for that because November 5th is coming and prayer can change things. And
can change things and it does. And so Pastor Paul, can I ask you to pray for everybody that's
watching here? Since I don't want to, I don't want to miss this opportunity for talking about
prayer. Let's pray. So Pastor Paul, thank you. Thank you, John. Lord, we just thank you,
heavenly father, for your mighty blessing upon us and on America for nearly 250 years, God,
you've established a nation here on the, when the pilgrims come off the Mayflower, that Mayflower
Compact 34 said they would dedicate this land to the freedom to worship you. And Lord, here we are
today realizing that there are those who would like to stop your grace and your mercy to follow
a different direction. One that is not even under your direction. Lord, we pray that you will help
us. We repent of the sins of our nation, the sins, God of the, of the death of the unborn
and many other atrocities and things that have happened. But Lord, there's a lot of wonderful
people in this country who truly love you. And Lord, we are crying out to you and calling on you
to give us and establish for us the leadership that we need, Lord, to walk in your light and
in your love. Thank you for all of these that are watching and listening and everyone that's
getting involved in the prayer of agreement to save America. We thank you, God, that you truly
are looking down on us. We stand Lord with this rail and we stand together and we ask it now in
Jesus name. Amen. And amen. Amen. For more information, go to revelationwatchers.com
