Editor’s Note: Since this was published Thursday morning, fervent intercession has led to the arrest of 10 people plotting terror on the Rio games. Meanwhile, Brazil police smashed an ISIS plan for attacks on the games. But keep praying. Al-Qaeda is calling for lone wolf terrorists to rise up.
I had no clue the 2016 Summer Olympics were in just two weeks. I have been knee deep in reporting on terrorist attacks, shootings and other violence in America and around the world.
At about 6:30 Wednesday morning, I heard these words in my spirit:
ISIS and other dark forces have formed a confederacy that will orchestrate a coordinated attack at the Olympics. The plan calls for attacks on every side and in diverse manners. Suicide bombers are being trained to infiltrate the perimeter with new tools and tactics and with mass carnage in mind.
Even areas in the outskirts of the city will be targeted to bring mass chaos and spread thin responding forces. Demonic alliances are being forged even now because the attacks in the minds of these terrorists surpass the resources any one group has collected on its own.
Underground networks are being formed even now to strike several cities on the same day, even though the Olympics are the primary targets of terror.
I saw fire, lots of fire and people being trampled as they tried to race away from the sites. I saw chemical weapons being deployed that suffocate victims. Other chemical weapons were deployed that lead to a slower, more painful death. It was clear to me that this coordinated attack is not depending or relying on any one method or strategy or group. This is a cadre of groups unified for one evil purpose.
Again, I had no idea the Olympics were in 15 days.

When I researched this out, I discovered the games in Rio run from Aug. 5 to Aug. 21. I also read news reports indicating Brazil has beefed up Olympic security after the Nice terror attack and how security services foiled a French delegation at the Rio 2016 Olympics. In other news, a Brazilian extremist group used the Telegram to pledge allegiance to ISIS.
Some of this may be chatter, but some of it is likely real and I’m convinced there’s much more going on behind the scenes.
Please don’t brush this off. I still remember watching in horror the aftermath of the terrorist bomb attack on Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics. The attack ultimately killed two people—one immediately and a second had a heart attack while running to the scene—and injured 110 others. In other words, we’ve seen terror attacks on the Olympics before. Now, in an age of terror where we see violence every week, we need to take this warning seriously.
The Lord also showed me He is calling undercover intercessors to press into new realms of prayer to combat these plans and thwart the purposes of the wicked ones. He’s looking for covert groups of prayer warriors who will band together without any recognition or fanfare and press into what the Lord is showing step by step that each stage of the enemy plot can be overturned. He’s calling special forces to rise up and push back the chaos that intends to manifest so that many lives can be saved. He’s looking for skilled spiritual generals to organize groups of intercessors to pray without ceasing about specific assignments.
Two weeks doesn’t leave us much time to thwart this terror attack. God would not be warning if He did not want to intervene. I believe we can take authority over these demons before the manifest in the midst of a global scene. {eoa}
