Meanwhile, brothers and sisters, we must be patient and filled with expectation as we wait for the appearing of the Lord. Think about the farmer who has to patiently wait for the earth’s harvest as it ripens because of the early and latter rains. (8) So you also, keep your hopes high and be patient, for the presence of the Lord is drawing closer.
(James 5:7–8 TPT)

The North Star State
Too often, we write off portions of the country that become woke and progressive in their policies, forgetting that revival can turn them back to God. There are many wonderful believers in Minnesota praying for their beautiful state. God is not biased toward the Bible Belt! His love knows no bounds, and He is planning on transforming places many have given up on. I want Minnesota to be one of them!
The name Minnesota is a Sioux word meaning “sky-colored water.” How beautiful is that! It is known as “The North Star State,” and its motto is “The Star of the North.” “The North Star, also known as Polaris, appears to stay fixed in our northern sky. It marks the location of the sky’s north pole, or the north celestial pole, the point around which the whole northern sky – full of stars – turns. That’s why you can always use Polaris to find the direction north.”(3)
On the 50-State Tour, Holy Spirit called Minnesota “the threshing floor state.”(4) Threshing floors were mentioned often in Scripture. “In biblical days, there was no machinery, so after the harvest, the grain was separated from the straw and husks by beating it manually. First, there had to be a flat surface that was smooth and hard, and this was known as the threshing floor. The process of threshing was performed generally by spreading the sheaves on the threshing floor and causing oxen and cattle to tread repeatedly over them, loosening the edible part of cereal grain (or other crops) from the scaly, inedible chaff that surrounds it (Deuteronomy 25:4; Isaiah 28:28). On occasion, flails or sticks were used for this purpose (Ruth 2:17; Isaiah 28:27). Then winnowing forks were used to throw the mixture into the air so the wind could blow away the chaff, leaving only the good grain on the floor.”(5)
Threshing floors were used to separate the bad from the good. As such, they came to picture Old Testament sacrifices which were used to cover the people’s sins and make them acceptable to God. The sacrifices generated mercy. David offered a sacrifice on a threshing floor he purchased from a man named Araunah, which generated forgiveness and cleansing for Israel (2 Samuel 24:16). This threshing floor was on Mount Moriah, where Abraham and his son, Isaac, were used to picture the cross (Genesis 22) and where Solomon later built the Temple (2 Chronicles 3:1). Simply stated, threshing floors picture the Cross where we find cleansing and mercy!
How about that, Minnesota! We should start calling Minnesota “the Mount Moriah State” or perhaps “the Mount Calvary State.” Let’s ask God to cleanse Minnesota from all that would separate it from God and use the state to fulfill its name and destiny by bringing salvation to others.
And let’s ask Holy Spirit to use it as “the North Star,” leading many people to Christ. Let’s ask Him for a sweeping revival to invade Minnesota, causing it to be a hotbed of revival and awakening.
Pray with me:
Father, You are one who transforms people and places. Moriah became a holy hill, filled with Your presence, Mount Zion, Jerusalem. Kiriath-arba, meaning “the city of Arba,” (6) who was the greatest of all the giants, became Hebron, the place of covenantal friendship with You. You’re the God who doesn’t change, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Surely, Lord, You can bring life to dry, desert places. You can transform our nation, and You will do so at city and state levels. Transform Minnesota. Many believers there are calling on You to do so. Answer those prayers by sending a powerful outpouring of Holy Spirit to that region. Fill the city streets with miracles and salvations, just as they were with anger and violence in 2020. Fill the schools with revival fire, causing great life to flow through the hallways and campuses. Revive the churches with holy fire. Gather dry bones, send Your wind, and make them a powerful army. Eradicate the effects of liberalism, socialism, false ideologies and beliefs, and restore to Minnesota a purity of thought and beliefs. Give them righteous leaders who love life and protect children, who lead with wisdom, honesty, and integrity.
And, Lord, we ask for these things also to all of America and the world. Send revival! Awaken and transform! It’s time, and we ask. Pour out Your Spirit on all flesh! In Christ’s name and authority, we ask. Amen.
Our decree:
We decree that Minnesota shall receive the fire of revival and point many to Christ!
