My husband and I took our tiny camper and drove 1550 miles around the border of Kansas.  We stopped and anointed each border county in Kansas and felt led to leave a stalk of wheat.  We decreed and prayed to the Lord of the Harvest for a tremendous harvest of souls in Kansas and more workers for the harvest.  (Matt. 9:37-39) We spent time praying in each corner and at the geographic center of the 48 states.  

Our goals were to

1.  Anchor Kansas in Hope
2. Appeal to Heaven
3. Apply the Oil
4. Activate the Harvest of Souls

We spent time at Mt. Sunflower also. It was a beautiful green at Mount Sunflower, and some friends met us there. Connie played the shofar, and that was so powerful. The warfare seemed intense there, and we were exhausted after we left. It was difficult part of the journey but rewarding. We thank our dear friends for organizing this.

As I prayed about what we could leave in each county and at the geographic center, I thought about seeds. But because we are retired farmers and love this season of harvest, I felt the Lord say this is the season of harvest, not planting. So I gathered stalks of wheat that we carried and left one in each county as we prayed and decreed. It is not time to plant seeds, but it is the time to call in the workers for the harvest because it is harvest time. Matt. 9:37-38. So using our Appeal to Heaven flag we asked the Lord of the Harvest for more workers to bring the great harvest of souls in.

As we drove around the border of Kansas, we thought about all the green we saw the entire way. There was never a more beautiful time to drive the Kansas border as we saw the lushness of green. The harvest of the ripe wheat was a beautiful sight to see also. We saw wheat that would not be cut, due to the early drought, and wheat that was hailed out, and wheat that was being harvested and wheat that was ready for harvest.

We met wonderful people on our journey and met a couple from Atlanta, Georgia at the geographic center of the United States. They said Kansas is beautiful. And we certainly had to agree. 

  We read Give Him 15 by Dutch Sheets every morning and we have read Gina Gholston’s book “Carry On”.  We felt led to take our teardrop that has Psalms 139:25 and Proverbs 3:6 painted on the sides of it and drive the borders.

We were met with a bald eagle that sat in a tree outside of Baxter Springs and waited for us to get his picture. We had to turn around, change camera lenses and get some nice photos. His head was held high. What a beautiful sign from God!

We prayed at the Mine Battlefield museum, and were particularly touched by the battle that took place here in the Civil War. We are in a battle now, not physical but spiritual. The Union forces won this battle in one hour, even though they were out numbered 8000 to 1200 troops. We read the “Gettysburg Address” here and sang all the verses of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” This was a very moving experience. My husband said the Union troops had the advantage by being on the higher ground. May we battle this fight with the full armor of God from the higher ground.

In several counties, we used the words of Abigail Adams in the letter she wrote to her husband on June 20, 1776. These words seemed to be very fitting words. She wrote, “I feel no anxiety at the large armament designed against us. The remarkable interpositions of heaven in our favor, cannot be too gratefully acknowledged. He who fed the Israelites in the wilderness, who clothes the lilies of the field, and who feeds the young ravens, when they cry, will not forsake a people engaged in so right a cause, if we remember his loving kindness.”

In White Cloud, KS in the NE corner of the state a beautiful zebra striped swallowtail butterfly landed at my feet and flew in between my legs several times while three hawks (we weren’t sure what kind of birds they were) soared high above our heads. 

At the geographic center of the United States, we soaked several stalks of wheat in oil of frankincense and left them there. As we were leaving, I felt the song “Spring Up Oh Well” in my spirit. We prayed and decreed in the tiny chapel. This is another key spot. We braided three stalks of wheat together and left it there. This represents the three strand cords’ strength. Our God is so faithful.

We came home, exhausted, but thrilled that the Lord had given us, safety, protection, and many prayer warriors to help us complete this journey.
