DEAR FRIENDS,
FIRST—REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR 2-22—The Turnaround Tuesday Global Launch! Turnaround Tuesdays is God’s summons to prayer for a generation to return to Jesus. You will experience a turnaround! You will be equipped. You will receive impartation. You will have time to connect. We believe your life, and even the life of this nation, will change.
BUT DON’T WAIT FOR THE CONFERENCE. Begin now! Take time today to pray for your spiritual children and natural children. Decree also that God’s Eliakims arise to positions of leadership in their spheres. Remember Eliakim’s greatest qualification was that he was a FATHER to the house of Judah—the nation—and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the capital city.
Amen!
Discovering the Power of God’s Turnaround
(Adapted from forthcoming book Turnaround Decrees)
Jolene and I have experienced miracles as we pursued God’s turnarounds, at His direction. It all began in 2014 when we were directed by Holy Spirit to a passage of Scripture we have since come to call “the Turnaround Verdict.” We gathered at Faneuil Hall in Boston on 7-22 to receive this Daniel 7:22 verdict. Historic Faneuil Hall is actually where many founders met to mobilize towards the American Revolution. And the gathering proved revolutionary for us. The trajectory for us personally, as well as for the nation, began to shift dramatically from that date forward. From Daniel 7:
I kept watching, and that horn was waging war with the saints and prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom (Daniel 7:21-22).
The “Turnaround Verdict” conveys a dramatic change of events. One moment the saints are being utterly defeated, while the next moment they are being released to possess the Kingdom. Wow does that sound familiar to our world.
The process shown—approaching the Lord as the Ancient of Days, and securing His verdict in your favor—is central to unleashing the potential of Heaven’s turnaround in your life and sphere.
So many miraculous interventions occurred immediately following the release of this verdict. Churches have come alive. Broken lives have been repaired. Physical healings have occurred. Lost people have discovered, or rediscovered, the power of their Redeemer. Longstanding promises seemingly stuck in a perpetual void have suddenly come to birth. The faithfulness of our God has become His real-time handiwork in the midst of everyday life, for all to see. Even government has shifted by God’s hand in an unmistakeable way, right before our eyes in Washington DC.
But by the grace of God, the greatest turnaround we’ve yet experienced actually came not to the nation or to the White House, but to our own house. It answered the deepest longings of our hearts for our son and daughter. And it framed much of this new expression of the movement He is initiating in our midst.
Many of you have already heard my son’s testimony, when it was shared by Lou Engle at the Global Prophetic Summit last November. In fall of 2014, shortly after the “Turnaround Verdict” was first released at Faneuil Hall, our hearts became strongly resolved to pursue His national turnaround. A gentle rebuke redirected our path. Before we even sought to attain His national turnaround, the Lord wanted us to prioritize family turnarounds. Malachi 4:6 makes this priority so clear.
“He will turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with complete destruction” (Malachi 4:6).
So on Christmas Day 2014, we started a year-long project with our Lamplighter Family called “Turnaround Tuesday.” Every Tuesday was set aside for contending prayer, framed at God’s invitation by Daniel 7:22. We prayed fervently for our own children and for the children of those connected with us for the Lord’s turnaround to prevail.
And a genuine Christmas miracle broke forth exactly one year to the day we began. For discretion’s sake I won’t go into too many details. But our son Jonathan had fallen away from the Lord during his final few years in college. In early December 2015 our son Jonathan contacted us. For the first time in years, he wanted to spend his birthday and Christmas together.
And on Christmas morning in 2015, again a year to the date we first began to pray, Jonathan experienced a dramatic visitation from the Lord. Jesus Himself appeared to him in a vision. With hands outstretched and open arms, the Son of God compelled our son to “return home!”
You already know how Jesus rolls. The miracle we were all praying for became just the beginning of the turnaround story. We’ll save that for later.
But Jesus wants you to know that He loves your child, your son or daughter, even more than you. He will withhold nothing in pursuit of their hearts, their souls, their lives. Your part and mine is to pray. More accurately, to contend in prayer until the miracle you and God both want is manifested before your eyes, just as it was with us.
So lets train, lets pursue, lets contend together for a generation to break free and arise to God’s true destiny. And join us on 2-22-2022 for teaching, impartation and prayer as we launch!

DEAR FRIENDS,
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR 2-22—The Turnaround Tuesday Global Launch!
Please sign up now to secure your place at this defining event. We will be adding so much more in the days ahead. Turnaround Tuesdays is God’s summons to prayer for a generation to return to Jesus. You will experience a turnaround! You will be equipped. You will receive impartation. You will have time to connect. We believe your life, and even the life of this nation, will change.
We are honored to return to Trinity Church in Cedar Hill TX, where the movement was spontaneously birthed during the Global Prophetic Summit hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs last November. Lou Engle actually changed his message to birth this movement. I can still hear the roar that erupted across the auditorium as we began to contend in prayer! It was an unforgettable moment.
Mike and Cindy are returning to join us for the launch, with Chris Mitchell Jr, Becca Greenwood, Anthony and Melissa Medina, and a special message by Lou Engle. We had an amazing conversation with Trinity pastors Jim and Becky Hennesy recently. Both were very strongly impacted by Turnaround Tuesday. Turns out that for an entire year before, they focused the Trinity church on family restoration, including fierce prayer for sons and daughters.
And since the beginning of the year they have been leading in fasting and turnaround prayer every Tuesday, along with their prayer pastors Anthony and Melissa Medina. A primary focus emerged to gain breakthroughs for the sons and daughters of this generation—coming to Jesus and gaining the fullness of their destiny and purpose in life.
JOLENE AND I ARE DREAMING OF CHURCHES across the nation and world similarly engaging in Turnaround Tuesday prayer! I believe we are going to see spontaneous groups coming together in person, on video and conference calls, in homes and churches and even offices to engage in intercession for our spiritual and natural children. Because this movement has been initiated by the Father for every son and daughter. It’s time for you and I to engage!
“He will turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with complete destruction” (Malachi 4:5-6)
OPEN DOOR PROJECT! 2-2 thru 2-22. Lets join together in prayer as the Lamplighter community in preparation for the turnarounds God is releasing in this season, including the launch of Turnaround Tuesday. A door of access stands open!

DEAR FRIENDS,
WHAT A CENTURY THIS DECADE HAS BEEN. With more twists and turns than an episode of “24”—for those who remember the legendary counterterrorism battles to preserve the nation’s freedom both from without and within. Jolene is quick to say she learned spiritual warfare from Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Dutch Sheets and Jack Bauer. Not necessarily in that order…
I’ll just add that, after a decade of public ministry in DC, while behind the scenes running down dark corridors either pursuing or being pursued, we are still doing our best to provide accurate, real-time prophetic intelligence to fuel your prayers and catalyze God’s turnaround. The good news is, overall we’re winning. Jesus is winning.
And the door is now open!
Historic Prophetic Word
As we look back over the decade, the prophetic word that launched us into Washington DC continues to speak profoundly to our world. Pay close attention to the time frames spoken of. Because in 2012, Rick and Patricia Ridings prophesied the emergence of the Crown and Throne movement. Interestingly, they prophesied a decade-long window for its founding.
In January 2012, Rick Ridings prophesied this movement in Washington DC as part of a consecration service for Jason Hershey’s Washington House of Prayer. With the Washington Monument cracking and gargoyles toppling from the National Cathedral due to an earthquake, Jolene and I had already experienced a foretaste of this prophetic word already!
It was in this same service that Rick and Patti prophesied our relocation to Washington DC. Against all odds, we moved within 12 days!
Below are highlights from Rick’s word, which makes many aspects of God’s move for this nation very clear. Point one—WE CONTINUE TO CONTEND AGAINST PHARAOH STRUCTURES FOR BREAKTHROUGH AND AWAKENING!
Point two—as we ride, He will ride. The Lord is coming!
THE LORD IS COMING! RIDING ON A SWIFT CLOUD
AS I say in Isaiah 19 when I come on a cloud swiftly the idols and the gods of Egypt will tremble before me. The Lord says these gods of Egypt thought that they had thrones in the gates of the District of Columbia–in the north and the south and the east and the western gates of Columbia, the District of Columbia. The gods of Egypt thought they had a throne through freemasonry and the wrong foundations that were laid at the corners of the District of Columbia, at the points of the gates.
But the Lord says, those thrones of the enemy that have been set at the gates of DC are going to come down cause I am coming on a cloud swiftly. Many have plowed, many have prayed, many have praised, many have worshiped, many have been faithful to me for many years, and the Lord says I have seen your tears even as Nehemiah who wept over the devastated city of Jerusalem and surveyed the city and saw the devastation of it there and what the enemy had succeeded in doing to the city of Jerusalem.
And Nehemiah surveyed the city and looked over it and prayed over it and wept over it and came around it secretly for a long time surrounded the city in secret and was not seen because the time was not yet there to be seen.
But there is a time when things are to come above the ground. There is a time when things are to be seen. There is a time when things are to move swiftly.
Presence Comes, Thrones of Egypt Crumble!
There’s a time of preparation, there’s a time of plowing, but this is a time of My moving swiftly and I am riding upon a swift cloud, and I will judge the gods of Egypt in this city. As thrones have been set in the gates in the north, and the south, and the east, and the west of the District of Columbia, those thrones of the enemy shall CRUMBLE in this season. There shall be one throne after another that was set in the gates that shall crumble before My presence, says the Lord.
Because it is my presence that will cause those thrones to crumble, and it is my presence that will be manifested greatly as I am pulling together pieces from many many things, and many many people, and many many ministries, that have been faithful to me as I have put those puzzle pieces in place. But I am putting the puzzle together in this season says the Lord.
Establishing a Throne for the Lord
Now is the time where I will begin to put those puzzle pieces together, in a very clear way, and the picture of the puzzle will be Me upon My throne. It will be Me upon My Throne. It will be My manifested presence.
And it is my Presence that will cause My enemies to scatter. It is my presence that will cause the thrones of evil that have been set in these gates fall, and crumble before me. And they shall crumble. I am removing thrones of the enemy in the north, the south, the east, and the west in order to establish My throne in this city. And I am raising those up in the north, and the south, and the east and the west who shall act as arms to lift up, as pillars lifting up my throne, and my throne shall rest upon this city in a way that it has not in the past…
Shifting Foundations
We thought a few believers would somehow change everything. But you don’t change everything unless the foundations, and systems, and demonic structures are changed. And I believe the Lord is saying this is a season where I am judging demonic structures and demonic systems in government. And where it’s not a question of party or people, it’s a question of ungodly foundations that were there that have got to do with the gods of Egypt. And I’m going to judge the gods of Egypt. I’m going to judge wrong systems and wrong foundations.
Because in the past, even if believers came into office, they hit a brick wall, they were unable to move forward in Kingdom of God priorities, because of systems and structures that were evil, that were set in place, and they could not budge. And through worship and intercession these things will be budged. And it is through worship and intercession that I desire to send an earthquake into the very foundations of Washington DC. I desire to send an earthquake into the very governmental system of this nation…
Covenant Relationship Key
And I’m going to put things into position, I’m going to bring things together, so that it is not this one scattered, and that one scattered, but a working together in a way beyond what has happened up until this point…
There have been times where a greater coming together has happened. And then the enemy has been able to succeed in scattering once again… but I believe this is a season where the Lord says, I’m going to bring together those who will learn to walk together in covenant with Me…
God is going to bring forth those who know their positioning upon the wall, and will be ready for this time of positioning to work and to flow together in a covenant relationship that the enemy cannot pull apart. I believe God is going to bring these together the priestly and kingly anointings… by priestly I mean long times of waiting in God’s presence, intimacy with Him, drawing near to minister to the Lord. That is one part of what God is building into this house of prayer. But the other part is the kingly, the kingly is the government of God governing over the kingdoms of this world. His kingdom governing over the mountains of society. exercising authority to be salt and light and to bring significant change…governing, legislative authority in prayer to shift and change in foundations, and structures, and systems.
Crown & Throne Movement
In Book of Revelation when you see the elders of God, they have harps and bowls. And the Lord says I have been restoring the harp and the bowl in the last 10 years in a very special way throughout the earth. I’ve been restoring the harp and bowl and I’ve been bringing together worship and intercession as a fragrance, as a ministry to the Lord of harp and bowl.
But the Lord would say there’s two more thing that those elders have. They not only have a harp, they not only have a bowl, they have each have a throne and they each have a crown. And in these next ten years, as I have restored the harp and the bowl, I am going to further restore now the walking with the throne and the crown. I’m going to restore to My people walking in governmental intercessory, kingly authority. That what you proclaim on earth shall be that which you have already heard proclaimed in heaven!
And you will learn through the harp and the bowl to mount up into the very council rooms of God, and to hear my counsel in the heavenly places, and to proclaim and declare my counsel on the earth as I taught my disciples in prayer: Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
So as in these past 10 years I restored harp and bowl, I in these next 10 yrs will restore the throne, the throne and the crown to my people. To learn to walk in kingly authority. So I believe the Lord is saying that what He is raising up here, He is going to bring a marriage of the priestly and kingly…
So even as God has brought us to see how worship and prayer belong together, as He has married those together, He’s going to marry the harp and the bowl with the throne and the crown that the elders also exercised in that heavenly place. And of course, ultimately it is to throw down before Him, it’s all about Him… it’s all for Him…
Jon & Jolene—Move to DC
Ezra priestly, Nehemiah kingly, and God is going to bring these things together… And in that sense I felt tonight, and I checked this out because I don’t give this kind of prophetic word without checking it out beforehand, but both Patti and I really felt for Jon & Jolene that the Lord had prevented the vision from coming forth in MD in Frederick in ways you had hoped… when we were there we just couldn’t get excited about the building you were showing us. We didn’t have the sense, this is it!
And we were sharing together in the plane today on the way here we both felt separately that somehow in this season that God was going to have you very focused for quite a season in Washington DC. And it may involve a move. It will involve a move of focus to Washington DC and it may even involve a physical move to Washington DC. And I believe there’s something the Lord has taught you and developed in you and through you in terms of governmental intercession that’s going to be very key in what God wants to bring forth… So I submit that to you all to pray about it!
OPEN DOOR PROJECT! 2-2 thru 2-22. Lets join together in prayer as the Lamplighter community in preparation for the turnarounds God is bringing forth in this season, including the launch of Turnaround Tuesday. A door of access stands open!

DEAR FRIENDS,
FIRST—THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING in Turnaround Tuesday. Lets contend together for our spiritual sons and daughters, and our natural sons and daughters! And plan to join us on 2-22-22 for the global launch from Trinity Church Dallas!
SECOND—WE ARE CELEBRATING A DECADE IN DC! It was a decade ago this weekend that we settled into an apartment in Pentagon City, across from the Pentagon and just across the Potomac from Washington DC.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD YOUR LIFE UPENDED BY A PROPHET? Our lives certainly have been. Rick and Patricia Ridings both received the same prophetic directive from the Lord on a flight from LA to Washington DC. They cautiously brought up the subject in the car on the way to a dedication service for what became Davids Tent DC. Both Rick and Patricia felt that Joleen and I were being summoned to Washington DC… immediately!
Further, they both felt we were to begin by coming alongside Jason Hershey and his house of prayer project. The word was given in mid- January 2012, and we picked up our stakes and moved within a few short weeks.
Jolene and I were expecting to be gone from “home” for maybe six months at the most. Instead Washington DC became home. And it’s been an incredible journey ever since!
Turnaround Preceding the TURNAROUND
We have found that many times the turnaround in our sphere is preceded by a dramatic turnaround in our own lives. Remember this is Turnaround Tuesday. What the Ridings prophesied has largely come to pass. We have seen a dramatic turnaround in Washington DC and the nation. And by the grace of God, a decade later we are seeing grace released to complete the turnaround. His way!
Tomorrow as we begin the Open Door project, we will share more on the prophetic words that were given by the Ridings in conjunction with our sudden move.
The Open Door
But for now, our hearts are full of gratitude to Jesus for opening a door to Washington DC that has enriched our lives so greatly, and in process enriched the nation. We are grateful for the faithful, amazing friends we have come to know since connecting here. We are grateful for our home group, a wild bunch of high-level saints of God dedicated to seeing Jesus move in Washington DC.
And of course we are grateful for you, the ever-vigilant Lamplighter family. Your love, collaboration and generosity of heart have kept us strong, kept us advancing, and kept God’s lamp shining in our midst.
All that said, Jolene and I are looking forward to breaking new ground ahead with you, including engaging in the Open Door Project through 2-22, culminating with the Turnaround Tuesday launch.
From Washington to Washington to Jerusalem… No King but Jesus!
