Prepare the Way Ministries
Who We Are
Prepare the Way Ministries International, established in 2001, is a dedicated intercessory ministry with a profound mission. Their purpose is to awaken every bloodline and family tree to embrace the original intent and complete destiny that the Heavenly Father has ordained for them. Through prayer, worship, and prophetic insight, the ministry tirelessly labors to pave the way for individuals and families to walk in the fullness of their God-given purpose. Prepare the Way Ministries International stands as a beacon of divine alignment and restoration, calling forth the inherent potential and inheritance within each bloodline to manifest in accordance with Heaven's design.
Ministry overseer James Nesbit has been used by God to help prepare the way for the awakening in America. Through strategic-level intercessory assignments, he has faithfully carried out the divine mandate to pray and intercede for the nation for more than 25 years. James’s unique insight and profound understanding of spiritual warfare have empowered him to navigate the unseen realms with wisdom and discernment.
James has also been the overseer of Mountain Alliance of Illinois, HAPN state coordinator for Illinois, and served as HAPN regional coordinator for Joy Number Nine (Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan). Since his move to Alabama in 2016, he has served on the leadership team of All In Alabama. He continues to lead strategic prayer journeys (national and international) at the leading of the Lord.
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
’Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert
a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’
The voice said, ‘Cry out!’
…O Zion, you who bring good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, you who bring good tidings,
lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, ‘Behold your God!’ ”
– Isaiah 40:3-6, 9 (New King James Version)
