Today manufacturing shifts and cultural pressures challenge Indiana's soul. We consecrate the different people groups, the state of Indiana and the USA on this day of May 24: repent of sports and economic idolatry. Deliver families. Raise Indiana as a steadfast Midwest anchor of family values and innovation for the next 50 years.
Our target remains the destiny of the nation of America, all its different people groups, every state, and the strategic capturing and possessing of the Jubilee Gate. We are dedicating the next 50 years to God's divine purpose for this land. Every day we focus on one state — its unique destiny, its people groups, and its assignment — while dedicating one year of the coming 50 years to that state. In this way, we are intentionally preparing to capture and possess the gate of independence and Jubilee in this season, culminating on July 4th.
July 3rd is our National Passover (Exodus 12:1–12). On this night, just as Moses and the children of Israel prepared to move out of Egypt, we are moving out of America's spiritual bondages and beginning again the sacred journey of destiny first pioneered by the Puritans and the Founding Fathers.
On July 3rd, Yahweh Elohim will pass through the United States and execute judgment against all the gods of America (Exodus 12:12). God will never come where He is not invited or properly prepared for. Therefore, let us use these 50 days to prepare our lives, our families, our churches, every people group, every state, and the entire nation for Passover and Jubilee.
Although the Year of Jubilee brings an automatic release into spiritual freedom and the breaking of every spiritual bondage, its full manifestation requires our obedience, preparation, and availability to receive it. This is the very purpose of the 50 Days · 50 States · 50 Years campaign.
The Name
Origin and Prophetic Meaning of the Name "Indiana"
"Indiana" means Land of the Indians. It was named in 1800 as Indiana Territory, reflecting its Native American heritage and the Northwest Ordinance's vision of liberty, education, and opportunity — with anti-slavery leanings at its founding in 1816.
Prophetic Destiny Connection
As the Crossroads, Indiana stands at a strategic junction for revival to spread across the nation — like a spiritual gateway. Its founding values of faith, family, and freedom align with being a beacon for restoring God's divine order.
Indiana is called The Crossroads of America because of its central geographic location and historic role as a transportation hub — major roads, railroads, and interstates intersecting here since the 19th century. This title was officially adopted in 1937.
The Hoosier Connection
The "Hoosier" name traces to Rev. Harry Hoosier (c. 1750–1806), a formerly enslaved Black Methodist preacher whose powerful sermons during the Second Great Awakening inspired many. Some propose his followers or name pronunciation influenced the term, especially among Methodist settlers moving to Indiana.
Historical Destiny
How Indiana Was Founded and How It Has Deviated
Indiana was founded on moral and religious liberty, an agrarian family-based life, and limited government rooted in Judeo-Christian principles. It has since shifted toward urbanization, secular policies in cities, and cultural influences diluting family structures.
Early Revivals' Influence: The Second Great Awakening powerfully shaped Indiana through camp meetings, frontier preaching, and moral reform — establishing strong Protestant roots, education, and anti-slavery sentiments that influenced the state's character. Rev. Harry Hoosier himself was among the most powerful preachers of that era.
Current Spiritual Atmosphere: While still more religious than many states, challenges abound. In Indiana, Christianity remains around 65–70% in many areas, but "nones" are rising, especially among youth and in urban centers like Indianapolis. Abortion is heavily restricted (near-total ban upheld in 2026, with limited exceptions). Secular humanism continues to influence education and media.
Indiana's Leadership Landscape (2026)
Leaders are priests in their fields. Indiana's leadership is predominantly conservative — a Republican trifecta with Governor Mike Braun (R) and GOP majorities in the legislature as of 2026. The most influential figures include Governor Mike Braun and prominent business and sports leaders who function as the high priests of Indiana's cultural life.
This Week's Focus
The Divine Order of Families and Why They Matter
Every week we pray for specific items. This week we are focusing on the families of the USA, not only for Indiana. We come before the throne of grace with one accord, lifting up families across this nation, that they may be restored according to God's divine order.
In Ephesians 5:22–33 we see the great mystery: Wives submit to their husbands as to the Lord, and husbands love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Marriage reflects Christ and the Church. The church is called the Bride of Christ because families are the foundation. Families were the first institution in the Bible (Genesis 2) and will be the last — Christ is coming back for His Bride!
Why Families Are the Foundation of Nations
The foundation of the nation is God, but the foundation of the church is the family. Strong families produce strong churches, which produce strong nations. When families are broken, society fragments. This is the great mystery revealed in Ephesians.
"You kill the families; you kill the nation." Whatever has destroyed the USA first destroyed families. All the evils in the USA are family-based.
Forces That Have Attacked Families in the USA
- No-fault divorce laws that made leaving a covenant easy
- The sexual revolution and widespread sexual immorality
- Widespread abortion — the shedding of innocent blood
- Welfare systems that undermine two-parent homes
- Media promoting individualism and immorality
- Economic pressures forcing both parents into the workforce
- The rise of secular humanism that dethrones God and elevates man
- Women's emancipation distorted beyond God's design
- Excessive children's rights undermining parental authority
- The LGBTQ agenda — redefining God's order of marriage and reproduction
How Can Families Be Redeemed in the USA?
- Denounce the systematic agenda that targeted the destruction of the Judeo-Christian family structure, parental authority, and traditional marriage through education, media, and law
- Restore the Judeo-Christian family structure as the bedrock of society
- Raise family altars — daily prayer and Bible reading in the home
- Raise up the spirit of Elijah: "He will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers" (Malachi 4:5–6)
- Return to Genesis 12:3 — Abraham's family was chosen to bless nations because he commanded his children and household to keep the way of the Lord
Honest Diagnosis
Divorce Statistics in the USA and Indiana
Indiana's Divorce Reality
Indiana consistently ranks among states with significantly higher divorce rates than the national average. According to U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data, Indiana's divorce rate stands at about 9.0 per 1,000 women, compared to the national average of 7.1.
Some analyses place Indiana's rate around 17.8% in relevant metrics, ranking it in the top 10 states for divorce in the nation. Second marriages carry a ~60% divorce rate; third marriages ~73%.
Biblical History: When God's Enemy Attacked Families
- Genesis 3:6, 15 — The Fall brought division into the first family, introducing enmity between man and woman
- Genesis 6:1–6 — Corruption of family lines led to the judgment of the Flood
- Ezra 9 — Intermarriage threatened the covenant identity of God's people
- Genesis 12:3; 18:18–19 — Abraham's family was chosen to bless nations because he would command his household to keep the way of the Lord
Spiritual Diagnosis
The Veil Over Indiana and Its People Groups
In the 50 Days, 50 States, and 50 Years campaign, we are praying for Indiana to realign to God's purpose and destiny. We desire to build a prayer web connecting all the counties of the state of Indiana to form a national prayer web as the only way to tear down the veil covering the different people groups and the state. Revival does not come until the veil is torn.
Veils Covering Indiana
- Secularism and the rejection of God's authority in public life
- Materialism and economic self-reliance without God
- Generational wounds including Native American displacement and racial divisions
- Autonomy and individualism — the Hoosier independence that pushes God out
- Generational rebellion passed down through broken families
Major Idols in Indiana
- Sports / Entertainment Idolatry — especially basketball and racing culture (Indianapolis 500)
- Economic Success and Self-Reliance — Hoosier independence without God
- Autonomy and Individualism — resisting the Holy Spirit
- Sexual Idolatry — gender ideology, identity confusion among youth
- Regional Strongholds — secular humanism in cities and traditionalism that resists the Spirit in rural areas
Cultural Gateway
The 500 Festival — Indiana's Spiritual Womb
The most influential festival in Indiana is the 500 Festival (Month of May), tied to the Indianapolis 500 — a massive cultural and community event drawing global attention. Key events include:
- Lucas Oil 500 Festival Parade — one of America's largest parades
- IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon — one of the world's largest half-marathons with 30,000+ runners
- Breakfast at the Brickyard, Memorial Service, and 5K runs
- Kids' Day & Rookie Run, and educational programs for fourth-graders statewide
- Over 500,000 participants and spectators annually
May is the month when the spiritual womb of Indiana opens — that is why people come and bring their gods (Deuteronomy 16:16). This festival powerfully shapes the state's cultural and economic identity as the "Racing Capital of the World," generating $400+ million annually from Festival events, with broader IMS/May activities exceeding $500 million to $1 billion.
What Is Discipling Indiana's Youth?
How Can This Be Reversed?
Raise family altars — daily prayer, Scripture, and worship in the home. Prioritize church over activities. Disciple youth intentionally through parental modeling. Limit screen time. Invoke the spirit of Elijah for generational healing. Strong families and prayer webs break these strongholds.
Standing in the Gap
Prayer for Indiana and the USA
Heavenly Father, we praise Your holy name. We thank You for the state of Indiana, the Crossroads of America, a land rich in history, strategically positioned at the heart of the nation. From its Native American roots — home to tribes like the Miami, Potawatomi, and Shawnee — to its territorial days under French, British, and early American influence, Indiana has stood as a meeting point of peoples, ideas, and destinies.
George Rogers Clark's campaigns during the Revolutionary War helped secure the Northwest Territory, contributing to America's independence from colonial bondage. Today, we invoke that same revolutionary spirit in the second Revolutionary War.
Indiana, you are called the Land of the Indians — not by colonial error alone, but prophetically as a restored inheritance. You are the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13), a preservative for the moral fabric and godly foundations of this nation. You carry the anointing to restore America to her biblical inheritance, just as Leviticus 25:13 declares: "In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property." You are the custodian of America's destiny at this crossroads moment in history.
We repent for every deviation from Your purposes. We repent for the rise of secular humanism that dethrones God and elevates man, for the "nones" who reject faith, for syncretism blending Christianity with practices that mirror the errors of ancient Israel. We repent for the shedding of innocent blood through abortion and for sexual immorality, which defy Your design for life, family, and gender (Genesis 1:27–28; Psalm 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5). We repent for divisions among people groups — White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and others — and for failing to unite in Your redemptive purposes.
In the name of Jesus, according to Jeremiah 1:10, we uproot, tear down, destroy, and overthrow every evil worship system, demonic altar, and spiritual bondage over Indiana and the United States. We come against the veil covering this state and nation (Isaiah 25:7–8). We dethrone every false god, execute Your judgment upon them (Exodus 12:12), dismantle every evil altar (Deuteronomy 7:1–5), confuse and overthrow the evil priesthood (1 Kings 18:40), and nullify every evil covenant and sacrifice by the blood of the Lamb (Hebrews 7:12). We break every spirit of death, confusion, gender ideology, and moral decay.
Indiana, we command you to return to your inheritance and divine destiny! Break free from every spiritual bondage. As your forefathers fought the Revolutionary War to liberate America from colonial rule, we launch a spiritual Revolutionary War against abortion, sexual immorality, gender confusion, secular humanism, and every force holding this state and nation captive. Let the church in Indiana arise as watchmen on the wall, standing in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30) so that this state does not miss its visitation in this season of automatic Jubilee release.
We pray for all people groups in Indiana — Native Americans, European descendants, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and immigrants. May every redemptive gift unite to fulfill God's assignment. Raise up intercessors, leaders, and believers who will preserve righteousness, flow like rivers of living water (John 7:38) from this crossroads portal, and impart preservation, innovation, and revival to the nation. As highways, railroads, and trade routes converge here, let the Gospel flow outward, discipling America and thus the world (Matthew 28:19).
We plant and build a godly worship system in Indiana. We declare: Indiana is a preservative state, a restorer of inheritance, a portal of righteousness! You will lead America back to her Puritan and Founding Fathers' foundations — liberty, justice, and reliance on Almighty God. You will disciple the nations through your central influence.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We give You glory for the victory, the release, and the Jubilee that is breaking forth (Psalm 50:23). Holy Spirit, instruct us, guide us, and show us what You want to do next in Indiana and across America.
We repent. We reset. We rebuild. The spiritual Revolutionary War has begun!
Amen.
