It is The Time of Grace

By Deborah Waldron Fry

I woke up seeing a watch face, and on it was written in capital letters, “GRACE.”

“Beloved.  Fear not, It is the Time of Grace.  Here is Truth.  Grace came through your Savior.  It is the message of the AGES, My Child.  For by GRACE you have been saved through faith, it is My Gift to you, Dear One.

Grace is the message of the gospel.  Oh, how the enemy fights against that which has saved you and keeps you.  He has distorted the message of My Grace to cause you to doubt My Goodness in your life.

He wants you to strive to be “good enough.”  But hear the Word of The LORD, My Child.  Through all the coming ages, it is the surpassing RICHES of My GRACE you shall dwell in.

Oh My Child, how the enemy has tried to rob you of your inheritance.  It is always My GOODNESS that leads men to repentance.

Because of My GREAT Love for you, I have made you ALIVE with Christ Jesus by My Spirit.  Let Me comfort your heart, My Child.  Accept My Gift by faith.

You are loved, forgiven and made righteous by the Gift of Grace.  Not of works, lest any one should boast.

So rest, Beloved, in this knowledge; Your Abba Father shall forever display My Lovingkindness to you in Christ Jesus.

With Him, I GRACIOUSLY give you ALL things.  Forever, shouts of “GRACE GRACE” shall ring through the heavens on your behalf!”

“But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in our trespasses.  It is by GRACE you have been saved!  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His GRACE, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  For it is by GRACE you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast,”   Ephesians 2:4-9.

“For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s ABUNDANT PROVISION OF GRACE and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS reign in life through the one Man, Jesus Christ!”   Romans 5:17.

“God, who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him GRACIOUSLY give us all things?”   Romans 8:32.

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and The LORD Jesus Christ.  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms,”   Ephesians 1:2-3.

“So he said to me, “This is the word of The LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says The LORD of Hosts.  What are you, O great mountain?  Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain.  Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”   Zechariah 4:6-7.

Be Sensitive to My Voice

By June Sheltrown Reinke

“Be sensitive to My Voice on the inside of you, and the leading of My Spirit,” says The LORD.

“I will give you a gentle nudge, and not a push.  You must pay attention to the seemingly subtle work of My Spirit in you.

“For I want to lead you continually as you choose to walk in My Will, walk in My Word, walk in My Spirit and My Light that I give you continually,” says The LORD.

“It is not difficult, for I have not given you an obstacle course,” says The LORD.

“It is a straight and narrow path, and it is right in front of you.  You need not focus on what is behind you, for I AM your rear guard.

“I have your back.  Do not look to the left or the right, for every crossroad you encounter will have a plain and straight path forward.

“You will not need to wonder if you should turn to the left or right.  JUST follow ME, as I direct your now steps, and know that and your future is in My Hands.

“Let My voice be what leads you into all truth, and wait on My instructions without your rushing ahead without My leadership.

“You will finish well as you hear and obey and follow the prompting of MY Spirit and know that I will be with you always,” says the LORD.

No More Trips Around the Mountain!

By Jo Ellen Stevens

Just Do It!

No More Trips Around the Mountain!

I heard The LORD saying to some of you today,  “If you want to quit circling the mountain over and over then STOP blaming the devil and start doing what I told you to do in the first place!

It is due season to step off this track and step into your destiny!

It is time to leave your stinkin’ thinkin’ behind and step into the new thing that has been within your reach for many years but that you could not seem to obtain!

You have learned that you can trust Me in your wilderness and you have no more to lose, so it is time to just do it!

This is the season to jump in full force!  Your promise land is awaiting you to take this step!  This is not time to retreat but to stir yourself up!

We have much to do ahead and the day is dawning!  What I have created you for is NOW!  No more time wasting!

No more trips around the mountain!  Just do it!”

By Jo Ellen Stevens

Arise Shine!

Remember What God Has Promised!

By Thomas Downes

The enemy may have come at you from one direction, but he will be scattered, and is being scattered, in seven different directions, because Jesus, the Lion of Judah, has arrived and has become your shield and your exceedingly great reward.

The LORD has no equal.  He has no rival.  There is no power that can ever overwhelm or overcome His intent.

Legions of angels are at His bidding.  There is no army or any force that quench the fire of His Presence.

Remember, that nothing is too hard for God.  Whatever God has promised you, He is able also to perform.

“For without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he who comes to God must believe that He is God; and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”   Hebrews 6:11.

There will be a performance of His good Word toward you to bring you back to the place of rich fulfillment,   (Jeremiah 29:10)

By Thomas Downes

Look Babe, Oak Tree

By Kathy Mote

The Lord once said to me, Look, babe, Oak tree, and He showed me His hand, filled with rich, fertile soil. All I saw was the soil and said so. He smiled and said, I placed My seed in there. Today He reminded me of that and said, I will have My way in all the Earth. My Word, My very breath of Life has been placed within you. It rises within you, bringing you to Me. My breath in you is your faith. My desire in you is My will and it does not fail. Someone needs to know His great power to save today and rest in His arms. You are not the product of your own efforts as you labor to become all you are called, you are His. His love for you is a great fire within you and will not fail. His Word does not fail. He does not fail.

His Word In You Is His Labor Of Love

By Kathy Mote

His Word in you is His labor of love. I refer to what He is speaking into your heart right now. It is His desire to make you aware of Him. Once you realize this your heart is filled with awe. The only place to go from here is into His arms.

Knowing Who You Are

By Kathy Mote

Knowing who you are guards your heart against trying to be something you are not. In a vision I see a baby elephant trying to perch on a wire amongst pigeons. That baby elephant doesn't belong with pigeons and wasn't meant to be a pigeon. That baby elephant shouldn't be grieved that he isn't a pigeon and won't have the approval or acceptance of a pigeon. Beloved, it is the same with you. It is time for a deep and heart freeing revelation of who you are and where you fit in. Without truly knowing this you will not walk in it.

Don’t Suffer Alone

By Greg Laurie

LISTEN

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

—John 10:10

During a Q-and-A session with our pastors awhile back, someone asked how to respond after their friend had recently committed suicide. How do they shine their light? How do they live in light of the circumstances?

This is a very difficult thing to deal with, and there is so much pain and shock for the person’s family. When I come to a situation like this, I don’t try to explain it, because there are some things in life that are just inexplicable. Instead what I try to do is comfort people, help them find perspective, and point them to the God of all comfort.

This is not in answer to the why, but it is pointing people to the whom. They need Christ. They need to lean on Jesus Christ, trust in Jesus Christ, and hang on to Jesus Christ.

Truthfully, committing suicide is one of the most horrific, selfish things someone could do to those around them, because their loved ones will suffer for years to come. There can be many things that can drive a person to such despair. It can be some crisis. It can be some moment of weakness. But understand where it’s coming from. Jesus said of the Devil, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” In contrast Jesus added, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 NKJV).

If you’re getting hit with suicidal thoughts, go to someone—such as a pastor or mature Christian friends—and bring it into the light of day. Don’t suffer with this alone. Allow someone to love you and help you through it, to help you get perspective.

You are loved by God and by many people—more than you realize.

Father God:

I completely surrender myself to you right now!  I cry out for help in Jesus Name!  Deliver me from my own destructions in Jesus Name!  Please help me right now!  I submit myself to You in Jesus name . . . and now I resist the devils and they must flee!  I am desperate for YOU!

I render the spirit of suicide, death & destruction, and the voice of the stranger powerless, paralyzed, impotent and silenced over me right now!  They cannot communicate, manifest or transfer in any way! In Jesus Name!

I pull down your strongholds. I dismantle all these works of darkness of suicide and self-destruction! You may not communicate, transfer, or manifest in any way toward me; you are finished, DEFEATED/DESTROYED at the Cross!  The battle belongs to YOU the Lord of Hosts and the gates of hell will not prevail over ME! I loose the Godly SPIRITS OF DESTRUCTION, BURNING, TORMENT and JUDGMENT ON these demons, works of darkness, & strongholds in Jesus name!  I release the full power of heaven’s myriad of holy warring angels to engage and destroy the strongholds, the works of darkness, wicked spirits. In the name of Jesus! 

I call down the flames of God to not just exposing the snakes/demons/oppression/spirits of offence/spiders/rats/ strongholds/works of darkness, suicide, voice of the stranger, all witchcraft, sorcery, sin & offences, wicked spirits all under the earth, above, & on the earth,  but they drive them out, STRAIGHT INTO the fire, to be consumed by the fire of the Lord. Let there be no escape for them because nothing and no one can escape the FIRE of the Lord!  Turn them into ashes before eyes.  This battle belongs now to YOU Lord of Hosts and the gates of hell will not prevail from this day forward against me . . . In Jesus Name! Amen!

At the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the earth..." (Philippians 2:10)

Luke 10:1919 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. KJV 

Psalm 91:13  ...13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. KJV

(A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. KJV

"Change is Here with Unexpected Opportunities and Upgrades"

By Anne Ballard

In this season, God is shining new light on Scripture so that you can perceive His Word in a new and fresh way. What was once seen through the lens of condemnation and shame, the Lord is bringing clarity and revealing His goodness, hope, and truth.

For some of you, opportunities will appear that may not appear to be upgrades, but as you step out in faith, you will see they are much better than you first expected. God is releasing wisdom and grace to make decisions. Peace will be a vital key as you trust in the Lord's timing and stand strong against opposition. As you partner with Him in blessing those around you and focusing on His presence, He will lead you into the victory you were born to walk in.

Transmuted Light

"Truth's shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of Your Word makes my pathway clear." (Psalm 119:105 The Passion Translation)

I recently saw a sunbeam shine on a woman's arm, and as the light hit her arm, it became a rainbow as though it was shining through a crystal. The transmutation (changing into another nature, substance, form or condition) of the light brought a new perspective of her arm. It was highlighted in a new and different way.

Right now, God is shining new light on the Scriptures. Many have only been made aware of how they fall short because they read the Bible through the lens of condemnation. The grace was there in Scripture, but there also existed a lack of understanding in the verses.

Shame and condemnation have colored the way that many interact with the Bible, and it has kept them from a real relationship with Jesus. Condemnation allows satan to cripple us more and more because we are focused on ourselves and our own shortcomings.

Through God's shining light, however, we can perceive the Scriptures in a new way that reveals truth, hope, life, and joy. Take hold of the power to lay down your old lenses of shame and condemnation and receive the truth of God's Word with hope and love.

Unexpected Upgrade

"Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you." (Ephesians 3:20 The Passion Translation)

Watch as opportunities present themselves that feel like an alternative to your current situation. At first, they may not appear to be better opportunities, but as you step out in faith, you will find that they are actually better in ways you couldn't have seen if you had not taken that step. When the transition is over, you will have a list of improvements that you weren't expecting. The way that you make this decision and even the steps leading to this decision will be easy and not require much effort.

Transitions that may initially seem like a lateral move (equal to where you are now) will end up being an upgrade. You will discover ways that this move was an improvement over the former things once you make the move. Expect to see this become true in relationships, business transactions, and in seeing God's provision.

You may have an opportunity to move (houses, businesses, churches, jobs) and that option will be confirmed as you take a step of faith. Watch this month as God provides a way that ends up being even better than you hoped or thought!

Beneficial Change

"So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God's perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are His lovers who have been called to fulfill His designed purpose." (Romans 8:28 The Passion Translation)

You may see a change that feels like it could potentially be bad or expose a need, but it will suddenly be met in a timely, smooth, and easy way. Weather this change with courage and faith, trusting that God knew about this need before you did and He's working things out for your good.

It will be necessary to take the time to actually evaluate and examine the need thoroughly. After this, you will be more aware of God when He meets the need. Take the time you need to get down to the nitty-gritty and really examine the facts. There will actually be a benefit in paring down, and you may not need as much as you thought you did.

For example, your income may be reduced by a certain amount, but in evaluating your finances you may realize that you don't need several services that you were still paying for. Had you not forced yourself to look closely, you would not have even realized you were still paying for unnecessary things.

God is meeting us as we do the work to examine our situation in light of a coming change.

Wisdom for Decisions

"And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and He will give it! He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures but He will overwhelm your failures with His generous grace." (James 1:5 The Passion Translation)

You may find yourself in a situation where you need to make a decision, but because of circumstances, you may feel almost desperate or rushed. Don't cave to the pressure or frustration. Separate yourself from the situation so that you can think about what you actually want to do. The process may take longer than you would like and that may make you feel like you need to rush, but take the time you need to have peace about your decision.

God is giving us wisdom for our decisions and the grace we need to make them. He is creating opportunities to grow in decision making as we learn to trust Him in the process. God tells us that He will give us wisdom generously and without judging us whenever we ask (James 1:5). So ASK! After this is over, you will be a better, wiser decision maker. Watch how He meets you in your need!

Victorious Opposition

"But if you will listen, I say to you, love your enemies and do something wonderful for them in return for their hatred. When someone curses you, bless that person in return. When you are mistreated and harassed by others, accept it as your mission to pray for them. To those who despise you, continue to serve them and minister to them. If someone takes away your coat, give him as a gift your shirt as well." (Luke 6:27-29 The Passion Translation)

If you are facing a trial that looks like an attack, persecution, or simply some opposition coming against you, victory can be yours! Stand strong by simply not engaging. Resist the powerful temptation to REACT, and instead seek God's truth for the situation found in Scripture and the wisdom of counsel.

Choose to keep your heart tender by not becoming offended or hurt. The moment that offense sets in, we have given the enemy an access point to derail us with his lies. There is tremendous power in choosing to bless and forgive our offenders. The Bible tells us that in order to be forgiven, we must forgive others first (Mark 11:25). (Photo via Flickr)

Unforgiveness can quickly turn into bitterness and resentment, which eventually leads to a hardened heart. In that place, it is much harder to turn back. Do not give weight or significance to the struggle, but instead focus on Jesus, who has every solution to every need.

God is giving revelation of the tools that He has put at your disposal and the grace not to react to the enemy's schemes. Use your tools wisely; bless them, pray for them, renounce any agreement with what was coming against you (condemnation, rejection, offense, fear, etc.). Declare that you are choosing to tap into God's wisdom and solutions for your situation. Choose peace instead of reacting and lashing back. If God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)?

Declarations:

• God's light is illuminating Scripture to me!

• Transitions lead to upgrades!

• I stand with courage and faith in light of a coming change.

• God gives me wisdom and grace for my decisions.

• I seek God's solutions.

"An Urgent Call to Pray for Religious Freedom in Our Nation"

By Cindy Jacobs

     "For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." (Galatians 5:13 NASB)

     I can remember a time in America where God was honored in everything we did. We honored Him in schools when we asked His blessing on our day with a brief prayer. We honored Him from our courtrooms to our sporting events. Most every formal institution began proceedings by calling on the name of the Lord our God, His wisdom, His mercy, His care, and His justice. We humbly asked Him for His divine intervention in our affairs and decisions.

     Where has that America gone? Slowly, ever so slowly, we have become more secularized and pushed God out of the public square. How can we think we do not need His direction? How prideful that is!

Enough Is Enough!

     The result of our dishonoring Him as a culture is that He is now being forcibly pushed out of even our personal businesses. Recently, even churches are under open attack. There are godless men and women who desire to see God removed from society completely! They want God relegated to our private lives within our own homes. I say, "Enough is enough!"

     I am so thankful for President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Special Ambassador of Religious Freedom Sam Brownback (a long-time friend), and a number of Christian senators and U.S. representatives who are working to reverse this cultural dismissal of our Lord.

     Church, I am asking that we honor God openly everywhere we go. Talk about Him everywhere you go. Worship Him openly wherever you go. Take your Bibles to school and read them there. Talk to your children about Him as you go about your day. Pray publicly. Write your legislators and tell them you support them. We can make God the Lord of our nation once again! Welcome Him!

     The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual's religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.

Prayer Points:

     • Pray concerning our religious freedom and our right to preach, teach, worship and observe our religious beliefs.

     • Pray we stand firm for our religious freedom: "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery" (Galatians 5:1 NASB).

     • Pray we will continue to have "...the right to follow the dictates of our conscience and the demands of our religious conviction" (President Trump). "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter" (2 Thessalonians 2:15 ESV).

     • Pray for unity and peace: "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3).

     • Pray we love one another: "Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord" (Leviticus 19:18 GNT).

     As we pray standing on the Word of God, He is faithful to hear our prayers. "And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him" (1 John 5:15).

For the future of our nation,

By Cindy Jacobs

“My Son and My Daughter,

I Am the God of Suddenly and Exceedingly”

By Russ Walden

The Father says today, "My son and My daughter, I am the God of suddenly and exceedingly." I will come suddenly to your defense in this season. I will multiply you exceedingly in this season. I will come suddenly to your aid and bring My "exceedingly" with Me, for I am not a hesitant God, and I am not an anemic God. When you are thirsting, I will not come to you with a dropper of water to cool your tongue. I will come with an ocean of refreshing and pour out upon you that which you cannot contain. Avert your eyes, My son and My daughter! Look not upon that which the enemy is doing, for I am about to execrate the enemy from your life. The enemy has trifled with you and annoyed you and thought to distract you from that destiny which I am unfolding in this season.

The enemy is going to experience the woodshed of God in this season. There is going to be a spanking of those he's using because I chasten those I love when they set themselves in adversity against that which I am doing in the lives of My children. The payoff is here, says the Father. It is not far off. I am provisioning you, so get out your checkbook and write the check! Today you will see a cloud the size of a man's hand. On the morrow, the windows of heaven will open. I am a God of "suddenly and exceedingly!" Be encouraged this day. It is a new day, and it is a new season. Old things are passed, and new things have arrived. Rejoice!

FIRE BY NIGHT

By Glenn H. Jackson

 "Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]

         ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB 

THE RIGHTEOUSLY MOTIVATED WILL LIVE BY THEIR

FAITH, TRUST AND OBEDIENCE

Words of prophecy:                                                             

*       Put your trust in the Anointing - not only abiding in you, but the Anointing abiding in all those with whom you have to do. Never trust in anything that has its origin apart from My Spirit. For EVERY word spoken and every action carried out APART My Spirit is unrighteously motivated - without exception.

        ...."But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]".... 1 John 2:27 The Amplified Translation

        The righteously motivated will live by their faith, trust, and obedience. The unrighteously motivated will live by their pride, fear and unbelief [mistrust].

        ...."Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith".... Habakkuk 2:4 NASB

Prayer of Proclamation:

        Father, we thank You and praise You that You have raised us up a people who live by faith and trust in You, and in Your Word - a people who allow the Holy Spirit to lead us and empower us in ALL of our ways. And we declare all of these things DONE  [on an ongoing basis], in Jesus' Name. Amen.

        ...."But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you ".... John 14:26 NASB

        ...."But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come ".... John 16:13 NASB

You Shall See the Waves of Glory!

By Deborah Waldron Fry

“Beloved.  Many of My Own feel you are in a lonely place, a bitter place, a dry and weary land.

Reach out, My Child, in your time of trouble, for there is a sacred filling of the soul.  In the midst of your trouble, turn your eyes to your Savior.

Lift up your hands and your heart to Me, for I AM the Lover of your soul.  I shall catch you up to Me in the Spirit, so that your eyes will see that I have never left you.

You shall see the Waves of Glory, the Living Waters that come to refresh you and strengthen you.  Fix your eyes upon Me and not the darkness of this present circumstance.

Suddenly, your dry and thirsty land shall no longer be dry and thirsty.  One glance of My Face shall help you to see the Light shining into your darkness, overcoming ALL the power of the enemy.

In My Light you shall see Light.  Don’t hold back, My Love, and I shall overwhelm you with My Presence, My Goodness, My Shalom Peace.

My Glorious Waters shall FLOW and remove all the signs of famine.  All limitations are removed in this Holy Place of Consecration.

I AM that Place of Sanctification, Beloved, I AM your Refuge and Strength, your Hiding Place.  I have separated you unto Me forever.

You are the Beloved of the LORD.  Oh My Child, your eyes shall see glorious things you have never seen before.

In this Place of surrender, I shall do AMAZING things for you.  For I AM He who pours out Water on the thirsty land and Streams on the dry ground; I pour out My Spirit upon you and My blessing upon you and your descendants.

Fear not.  You are coming out of this wilderness, leaning on your Beloved.”

Consecration,  Sanctification:   Strong’s Hebrew 6941: Set apart, appointed, made holy, honored

“For I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring and My blessing on your descendants,”   Isaiah 44:3.

“Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you,”   Joshua 3:5.

“Such were some of you; but you were washed, but YOU WERE SANCTIFIED, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God,”   1 Corinthians 6:11.

“But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth,”   2 Thessalonians 2:13.

“And because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”   1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

“Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?

I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother brought you forth; there she who bore you brought you forth,”   Song of Solomon 8:5.

I Will Give You Wisdom

By June Sheltrown Reinke

“I will give you the tongue of the wise as you ask Me for wisdom,” says The LORD.

“You will not only have the answers for the complex difficulties that you will encounter in life, but you will be able to speak My Word of wisdom to others in their times of distress.

“I always have a ready answer, and a on-spot solution for anything that happens.  I will not withhold My wisdom and I will give you My counsel as you entrust Me with your life and daily care,” says the LORD.

“I AM big enough and fully equipped to handle anything that you will face,” says the LORD.

“There is no storm that I cannot calm, no fear that I cannot quiet, no problem that I cannot solve, and no enemy that I cannot subdue.

“You are never without My counsel as you enter into My presence and place your entire life in My hands.

“I remain your source at all times, and you can trust Me to empower you with My Spirit and give you wisdom that is not earthly or sensual, but works mightily, and you will have the answers of peace, regardless of the things you encounter in your life,” says the LORD.

His is Giving Us a River of Peace & Prosperity!

By Pastor Debra Lowe

“I will give My People a river of peace and prosperity, for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.

As My People learn to remain stable and fixed trusting in Me for their support, the world around them is beginning to shake in fear.

Fear that has torment, fear that makes them do more unwise things.  Yet, My People will be unafraid, those who receive their comfort and help from Me.

Their hearts will again rejoice and flourish like the grass!  All will see the that My hand of blessing is upon them.

I will continue to bless those who have a humble heart that tremble at My Word.  My People need not be afraid of sudden disaster or destruction that comes upon the wicked, for I AM their security.

In the midst of turbulent times My People will experience a supernatural calm.  Now, the humble in Me will be exalted and the mighty will be brought low.

This holy remnant of Mine shall carry out the work of the Kingdom as never before.  This holy, humble remnant are those who press past the veil and have known Me as Father.

Their constant intimacy has raised a stirring in My heart.  I will entrust to them the power of the ages to come.  They love my presence more than their ministry, than their goals and more than their ambitions.

They will be able to hear Me in a moments notice, they are prompt to obey, they will not be shaken, no, not even when sudden disasters come.

They are stable and fixed trusting in their God!  They will learn that I AM their treasure.  There will be a notable difference between the children of this world and My children as notable as the difference between the Israelites in the land of Goshen and the Egyptians.

I shielded and protected My children from all of the plaques that came upon Egypt.  I AM the same God, I change not.

I will be a refuge and place of safety, from all plaques now.  When My children came out of Egypt they came out with all the precious possessions of the Egyptians, after years of shame and dishonor.

I gave them double for their shame.  So it will be for those who trust in Me, instead of shame and dishonor, they will enjoy a double share of honor.

They will possess a double portion of prosperity in their land.  They will feed on the treasures of the nations.

My People will know Me as their shield and their exceeding great reward! Know Me, for it is those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits for their God!”

“And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God],”   Daniel 11:32.

“The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning,”   Psalm 25:14.

“… For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful) — [and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble.  Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,..”   1 Peter 5:5b-6.

Love,

The Season of Your Greatest Comeback

Lorilei Cooley

I feel the Lord impress on my heart that the "Breaker of breakers" is coming in and moving and shifting the things that would not break or turn around for the longest time, where the power of His Word and what the Lord has spoken will manifest in unstoppable ways. This is the season of the greatest turnaround, comeback, radical vindication and promotion of your life. One season has come to a close and a new one has begun--a season where you will see unprecedented moves of His power and miraculous breakthroughs.

I heard the Lord say, "In this month of October, I am turning the most impossible things around, where the mockers and the naysayers will know that I the Lord am with you, for you, and demonstrating my faithfulness. They will be humbled in this season for I the Lord exalt the humble and resist the proud. I give and take away, and what has been stolen from you in this season shall be returned 100 fold.

"As I step in as the King of kings and the Lord of lords, I am bringing you onto the scene and into the forefront as a vessel of My glory, demonstrating who I am through you. Before this months comes to close, you will see mega breakthrough that only I the Lord could do for you!"

WORD FOR 2020

"THE ROARING 20’s"

By Elaine Tavolacci

As I was inquiring of the Lord about a word for the year 2020, the Holy Spirit brought me back to “THE ROARING 20’s." I did some research on it and this is what I found. The Roaring 20's was an age of dramatic social and political change. The name was derived from the exuberant, freewheeling popular culture that defines the decade. It was an era that bought dramatic social and political change, freedom to women, and major advances in science and technology. Germany referred to the 1920’s as “The Golden 20’s” or “The Happy 20’s.” For them, it was also a time of freedom and financial stability.

There were many inventions that shaped and transformed America in the 1920’s. Advances in technology led to the age of electricity for many homes in America, which provided them with the power required to run new labor-saving devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, radios, phonographs, vacuum cleaners, electric razors and irons. I’m a seer, (Holy Spirit-filled, not a clairvoyant), so I saw these inventions as allegories and metaphors.

In the 1920’s many inventions were made that changed the course of history. Henry Ford invented the automobile in 1921. The bulldozer and the traffic signal were invented in 1923, and the electric iron and the jukebox were invented in 1927, the first television was also invented in that same year. Penicillin and the first recliner were invented in 1928.The first pair of sunglasses was invented in 1929. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929.

Divine Revelation

The Lord showed me that there was going to be explosive growth in technology in the 2020’s. The Holy Spirit is going to release knowledge that is not known to man in the natural but will be released through divine revelation. When I began to write this, the Holy Spirit reminded me of something that He told me at the beginning of the year. He said: "Your natural mind could not comprehend the things that I will show you in the secret place." Jesus is going to choose the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and choose the weak things of the world to put to shame the things, which are mighty.

In the book of Revelation chapter 4, the Lord took the apostle John into a heavenly encounter. John saw a door standing open in heaven and heard a voice as a trumpet saying “Come up here and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Immediately he was in the Spirit and he described what he saw in Heaven. Jesus is inviting us to come up to a higher place as He is bringing fresh revelation in the days ahead. He will release fresh manna every morning and fresh quail in the evening.

Kingdom Connections

In the 2020’s, the Lord is going to create kingdom connections. We are going to see brothers and sisters in the faith in synergy as ministries merge. Many of the five-fold ministries will work together and will complement one another rather than control, criticize or gossip. They will no longer be in competition with one another but will cut off those relationships who contend against this move of God that will be sweeping the globe. As iron sharpens iron, they will encourage one another daily, and hold up one another’s arms when they are weary. As I was writing this, I saw particular men and women of God who are called to be ministry forerunners of "The Roaring 20's."

Balance in the Body

Then, the Lord showed me people who were battle weary people from the previous year. This is going to be a time of restoration for those who have testimonies of being delivered from the paw of the lion and the mouth of the bear. They have been through the fires and battled the flames. Those who have been falsely accused and ridiculed are going to receive justice. He is looking for those who will walk in holiness and no longer follow the ways of fleshly desires. As covenant children of God they are always in warfare mode, but as warriors and worshipers they never let their guard down.

The Voice of God

The Lord is raising up prophetic voices. They will not speak on their own accord but they will speak only what they hear the father saying. They recognize His voice because they read the word and spend time with Jesus, Just as Samuel, not one word that they prophesy will fall to the ground. He is raising up intercessors and giving them a blueprint and a battle plan. They will defeat the enemy with the same weapon that he used against them. He is raising up a fearless generation who will submit their lives to the call to transform their nation in The Roaring 20's.

Job 12:22

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings the shadow of death to light.

Daniel 2:22

He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.

Daniel 12:4

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

"The New Decade of Divine Establishment"

By Ben Lim

5780 is not just about a new year, but it is about entering a whole new decade. I believe that the face of Christianity and the trajectory of the Church is going to become massively different in the next few years, and within this new decade. We are facing a new reformation.

"Look at the nations and watch—and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." (Habakkuk 1:5)

5779 – End of the "Ayin" Decade

"Ayin" in Hebrew means "the eye." I believe that this also describes the seer realm and the seer office. The Lord has been showing off many signs and wonders and has been exposing many false prophets, movements, and agendas in the last few years of this past decade. There's been a showdown and the false prophets of Jezebel and Baal are being thrown down from the high places. The Lord has been cleaning house!

"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, 'It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer," but you make it a den of robbers.'" (Matthew 21:12-13)

The Lord is clearing the path and He is making all things new!

2020 – The Year of Great Launching

2020 is such a huge and important year. In fact, this is a "pivotal" year, which means that the prosperity and wellbeing of the years to come are directly hinged to the advancement and establishment of this year. I believe this to be absolutely true because of the elections that are drawing near in November of 2020.

2020 is the year of great launching! New ministries will be launched. New businesses will be birthed. New systems will be created. However, it will not be for the faint of heart. God is raising a whole new wave and breed of five-fold leaders. They will be a part of the Kingdom Ekklesia that the Lord has been longing for. They will be pure in heart and walk in true power and authority on the earth.

Set Up for the Next 10 Years

In preparation for this new decade, the Lord told me to write down the next ten year vision/plan from 5780 to 5790, or from 2020 to 2030. Pray and ask the Lord to give you a divine, ten-year vision/plan for His Kingdom. The Lord is releasing wisdom, insight, and revelation in this time so that we can be well-equipped with Kingdom strategy for great dominion and advancement in this next year, and in this new decade that we are now in.

This new year will be about fighting for our nation, fighting for our children, and fighting for our future. It will impact and set things in motion for the next ten years of America's future. I believe that this is the fight of all fights, the match of all matches, the year of all years and the decade of all decades! This is what we have been waiting for.

2020 is the year where President Trump, God's Cyrus, will be appointed to office once again.

The principalities of this age will be mocking, taunting, terrorizing, and plotting wicked and evil plans to shut us up and to stomp us down, but the Lord will give us great victory in the face of all of His enemies. Nothing can come against the Lord's appointed!

The Decade of the Mouth

In Hebrew, the letter "Pey" has the numerical value of 80 and is shaped like a mouth. The Rabbis believe that it is the number of decree and declaration. We are now in the year 5780, and the decade of the 80s.

I believe the Lord is causing radical kings and queens to boldly declare of the Word of the Lord without compromise. The trumpets will blast and the shofars will call. The Jubilee anointing will be released and the Lord will establish a new Kingdom order in America and in the earth. Finances, wealth, and prosperity will flow. Poverty will be broken and territories will be taken.

This is a war of the kingdoms, and in the end, all the empires of the world will become the Kingdom of our God (Revelation 11:15)!

The Lord is raising up mouthpieces of truth, justice, and righteousness. These sons of thunder will not be muzzled. The preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom will go forth and prepare the way of the Lord.

"You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you: and light shall shine on your ways." (Job 22:28)

In this year and decade of Pey, we will go from seeing to decreeing. We will go from the "eye of the Lord" to the "mouth of the Lord." We will go from soaring as eagles to roaring as lions; from revelation to manifestation, and from vision-casting to establishment. This is the decade of Kingdom establishment! Decree His Word and watch Him establish His immovable Kingdom. Decree His Word as kings and queens and watch Him plant you deep in the presence of the Lord.

The Lord is building His House and He is putting all of the pieces together for this foundational move of God. We, the Church, are here to stay! The Bible, the full and inerrant Word of God, is here to stay. The Lord is establishing His Kingdom reign in all fifty states of America. The Lord wants to establish us in grace and truth so that we can bear great fruit and stand as testimonies of His glory.

We will not fail or fall away, but will remain in Jesus' name.

The Mantle of Billy Graham

The mantle of Billy Graham is coming upon this generation. We will fully understand the power that we have in our mouths to give life and to curse, to command and to rebuke. All of this change and reformation is truly for the harvest! There will be many new voices of prophetic evangelism that will usher in the great harvest. Stadium Christianity will become the norm. Social media and viral, virtual church Christianity will become the norm.

The Lord is giving Believers influence and divine strategy to infiltrate the seven mountains of society. We will be the head and not the tail!

"Holy-Wood"

Hollywood is turning into "Holy-wood." The phenomena of Kanye West and Justin Bieber is going to be the norm. Mark my words, they are the first fruits of this new breed in Hollywood. Sauls are converting into Pauls and the Lord will confound the wise with the foolish. He is doing a new thing! The Holy Spirit is radically anointing the ones that have been rejected by the religious and pious. These "Holy-wood" trailblazers will lead many to Christ. This is the new Jesus People Movement arising.

Do not worry and do not fear, for the Lord is raising up many unusual and covert apostolic/prophetic evangelists in this era. Your children will be saved and they will become signs and wonders to this generation (Isaiah 8:18). Many, many more entrepreneurs, billionaires, millionaires, Hollywood A-list stars and celebrities will turn to the Lord and lead the nations and generations to Christ Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and the world.

They will be bold and they will not be politically correct. This will be pure. This will be raw. This will be holy. This will be the norm. They will arise, delivering a whole generation into freedom and seeing nations baptized in both the water and fire of the Holy Spirit.

There is a new wave of missions and modern-day Christian movements in America that will revolutionize the culture of the day. "...Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment...?" (Isaiah 66:8).

The Decade of Dominion

The Lord is establishing a new Kingdom order in America. I believe that the year 5780, and this entire decade, will be one of Kingdom establishment and dominion. In the words of Jesus Christ, to the one who hears and overcomes, "The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God..." (Revelation 3:12 ESV).

This is the decade of all decades. Speak forth His Word and watch the Lord do it!

"God's Call to Those in the Autumn Season of Life"

By Wanda Alger

     For the generation over fifty, the Lord wants to remind you that your age is your biggest asset and your journey has increased in such value that all of Heaven is now looking for you. Your age does not disqualify you from greatness. On the contrary, because of your faithful witness and consistent walk of faith, the Lord is now calling on you to help deliver nations.

The Commissions of Abraham, Moses & Noah

     "When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am God Almighty; walk before Me, and be blameless (whole), that I may make My covenant between Me and you, and may multiply you greatly.'" (Genesis 17:1-2 ESV, emphasis mine)

     Father Abraham did not even begin to fulfill his divine commission until he was nearly 100 years old. All that had gone before him had been preparation for the plans and purposes of God in the autumn season of his life. Because of the immense weight of responsibility in birthing and discipling a nation, God needed someone He could trust. He needed someone who had already proven himself to be faithful – regardless of the cost. He needed someone who would obey Him, not because it was personally beneficial, but because it was the only choice worth making. Abraham had passed the test.

     Moses didn't begin his commission until he was 80 years old (Exodus 7:7). He thought his assignment would come to fruition 40 years earlier, but he was not prepared. As it turned out, those 40 years of caring for sheep wasn't God's punishment for Moses' failure in Egypt. It was God's divine method of training his heart and molding his character for the true call on his life to set a nation free.

     Noah was over 500 years old when he fathered his sons and built the ark (Genesis 5:32). God saw that Noah was a "righteous man, blameless in his generation" (Genesis 6:9, 7:1). It was not some zealous, young champion that God chose to build the ark and steward an entire makeover of the earth's population; it was an older man who was time-tested and prepared for the challenge. Not only did Noah prove to have the physical stamina for the work required, he lived another 300 years; long enough to see his legacy endure.

     Notice that the call on these three patriarchs was to work with the following generation so that God's plan could succeed. Each of them was commissioned to work with their sons and those who followed them so that the promise of God would be fulfilled. Moses may not have had the grace to speak, but God provided him Aaron. Noah never could have built the ark on his own, so he enlisted his sons to help in the building and carry on the vision for generations following. Abraham raised his son, Isaac, to trust God with his life – literally – and it became the defining benchmark for those who walk by faith.

     Scripture reveals that these three men had already lived a full life, and they had favor with man and blessings from God. They could have easily gone into retirement and felt satisfied, but God had something much better in mind.

     Their lifetime of faithfulness had produced a priceless commodity – absolute confidence in God's heart and unwavering trust in His plans. Regardless of the worldly reputation they had gained or any acquisition of goods, it was their heart after God that had been refined as gold through the furnace of affliction (Isaiah 48:10). It was their determination to persevere when tested and remain faithful when forgotten that would establish their names in Heaven as history makers.

"Wisdom Is with the Aged, & Understanding in Length of Days"

     This kind of faith is a sacred treasure that gains its value by being put through fire. It is of incalculable worth. Heaven is looking for the faithful Abrahams to pass this on to the next generation.

     The world tells us to stay young as long as possible. We often say, "I wish I were young again." We need to change our perspective. Though there are certainly benefits and freedoms to having a younger physique, there is a wholeness of soul, mind, and spirit that only comes from a long life in God. It is this matured faith and fine-tuned perspective that is essential in building the faith of future generations.

     "Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days." (Job 12:12 ESV)

     If you wonder why you don't have the same passion or zeal you once did, there's a reason. The grace on your life has changed and God is now asking you to mentor others who can carry the vision to completion. There are sons and daughters ready and willing to pick up the cause and run with it. They just need wisdom to guide the way and fathers and mothers to walk with.

     Because of the cultural shifts that need to take place and the generational patterns that must be transformed across the earth, it's going to take a three-fold generational partnership to see it happen.

     The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob establish His people through intergenerational relationships. The call of Abraham is to equip, empower, and encourage the coming generations of Isaac and Jacob so that the entire household can be established.

     Now is not the time to kick back, but to step up. I believe those who are over fifty have actually gotten better over time, and the fine wine that has been aging within us is about to be released.

"Birthed in Joy"

     My middle name is Joy, and it was prophesied over me many times that in my "later years" I would have much joy. It struck me recently how Sarah reacted to her call when she was in her later years. Having given up on her life-long dream of bearing a child, she was now told that she would birth a son. What was her response?

     "So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, 'After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?'" (Genesis 18:12)

     I can totally relate! She said she was simply "worn out and old"! However, not only did she see God's promise fulfilled, the son she birthed was called "he laughs" (Genesis 21:3). Isaac was birthed in JOY. Not only did he bring his mother great joy, his life produced another generation that would fulfill the covenant promise given to Abraham and change the course of history.

     I believe the new wine of the Spirit that is coming upon the earth is partially dependent on the generation of Abraham answering this call from Heaven. In this autumn season, there is a convergence of generations and grace to be apprehended that can bring great breakthrough. The biological clock is irrelevant to those who have yet to see their promises fulfilled.

     Be full of JOY because I believe revival is about to be birthed through YOU!

TOTAL DEPENDENCE UPON GOD

By Yolanda Ballard

Taste and see that the LORD is good.  Blessed is the man who trusts in Him and makes His abode in Him.

Rest in the faithfulness of The LORD Jesus Christ.  He is always there with you leading you and guiding you into all truth.

He is the fullness of all grace and truth.  He enables you to walk in His perfect will as you lean upon Him and depend on Him.

There is never a thing He would ever ask you to do He would not give you the enabling, the grace, to do it.

This is the day of the great falling away mostly because men tend to be independent.  They don’t lean upon Him for the strength to do what they are called to do.

Once they become independent, they aren’t leaning upon Him and are trusting in themselves to make it through and that is so wrong.  It is the root of pridefulness.

We need to trust in Him and be always dependent upon Him to lead and guide and enable you to do your calling.

Be sure that He would never lead you in a direction that you weren’t able to walk successfully.  He would never allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear.

In all things, you have the strength in Him.  His faithfulness is always with you.

Lean not upon your own understanding or faith.  In all things acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Yes, it is all about Him and how we are all wrapped up in Him.  We are one with Him, completely dependent upon Him, and desperately in love with Him.

We can never make it on our own.

It is dangerous to even try. It is an open door to the wrong type of independence, which is sensual, prideful, and full of sin, and yes, the root of one who falls away from Him.

AT THE FATHER'S FEET

http://www.roarnworship.com

You Are Not Out Of Time

By Russ Walden

The Father says today, you are not out of time. The hands of a clock do not rule your life. My limitless power defines your life. Because I have time, says the Father, you have time. Do not allow the ticking of the clock to drown out My still small voice that is whispering to you in the winds of the day. My sound is reaching you. It is a sound that reverberates in eternity and carries you on the wind of its wings. I have put My sound within you, and it is going out into all your earth. My sound is causing all that I have placed under your hand to resonate in harmony with My promises. People come and people go, says the Father. Situations change, and circumstances evolve to look very different from what you expected. Yet, My faithfulness remains. I am the constant (the constancy) in your life - constant love, constant provisioning, and constant protection.

You are not finite, says the Father, for I have made you to taste of My infinite nature. Be at rest in My infinity. What can a man take away from that? Were you to give all your goods and all your relationships and all your energies to that; there would still be an untapped, immeasurable increase available to fill your entire life with My goodness and My blessing on your behalf. Grieve not, says the Father. Fear not the seeming apparent loss. There is nothing man can take from you that I will not restore from My limitless supply. You are the provisioned one. You are provisioned from My storehouse, and I will not allow you to fall behind in one wit of My fullness even today.

FIRE BY NIGHT

By Glenn H. Jackson

 "Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]

         ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB 

THERE IS NO FEAR IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

Words of prophecy:                                                             

*       There is no righteousness in fear and there is no fear in righteousness.

        ...."In righteousness you will be established; You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; And from terror, for it will not come near  you".... Isaiah 54:14-17 NASB

        ...."The righteous are bold as a lion [in both word and deed]".... Proverbs 28:1b NASB

        In the way of righteousness is life - and in its pathway NO death in ANY of its forms shall remain standing. In the way of unrighteousness is death and darkness -and in its pathway is an "open door" to all that which proceeds from it.

        ...."In the way of righteousness is life [resurrection power], and in its pathway there is no death [no death in any of its forms {darkness, fear etc.} can remain standing]".... Proverbs 12:28 NASB

        ...."Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it".... Matthew 7:13-14 NASB

        ...."There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death".... Proverbs 14:12 NASB

        ...."Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil".... Proverbs 3:5-7 NASB

Prayer of Proclamation:

"Crush" - to press or squeeze with a force that destroys [in this case, the various Kingdom-forces: Faith, Righteousness, Wisdom, Truth etc.];

        Father, we thank You and praise You that by Your doing You have made us the righteousness of God in Christ! Therefore we set ourselves in faith to receive ALL of the benefits of our esteemed position in Christ [day in and day out] - as well as, in our obedience, to be found crushing the Evil One at EVERY turn, to Your greatest Glory. And we declare all of these things DONE  [on an ongoing basis], in Jesus' Name. Amen.

        ...."But by His [the Father's] doing you are IN Christ Jesus, Who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption".... 1 Corinthians 1:30 NASB

        ...."[The Father] has delivered [past tense] and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us [past tense] into the kingdom of the Son of His love".... Colossians 1:13 The Amplified Translation

He Knows These Times Are Hard

By Deborah Waldron Fry

I saw the Warrior Bride of Christ.  She had sunk down to her knees in despair. She was overcome by weariness.

She was about to give up.  Suddenly, she heard a Voice in the Wind, like the Sound of Many Waters.  It was Jesus, the Bridegroom singing to His Bride.

God her Father was rejoicing over her.  Glory was falling down like golden snowflakes, like Manna from heaven.

The Sound enveloped her and filled her with great Strength and Joy and she rose up, once again empowered by the Spirit of God to stand strong and courageous against ALL the power of the enemy.

“Beloved.  I have heard your cries and seen your tears.  I know these times are hard.  Turn your eyes and yours ears to Your Savior.

I AM surrounding you with Songs of Deliverance.  Supernatural songs to strengthen and transform you from glory to greater glory.

My Glory is raining upon you.  My Spirit in you shall overflow once again with My Joy.  The Joy of the Lord is your strength.

I AM rejoicing over you with gladness.  My Songs like Sweet Oil pouring into every part of your being.

Arise and shine in the Power of My Might for We are One, My Child. The Glory of your God is seen upon you. I am the Manna come down from Heaven.  Those who eat this Manna shall live forever.

Fear not, Beloved, for in Me you live and move and have your being.  Rejoice, for Yahweh is in your midst, the Mighty One who saves!

I AM your Deliverer, your Glory and the Lifter of your head.”

“Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.”  Selah But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.  To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain,”   Psalm 3:2-4.

“The LORD your God is in your midst, a Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing,”   Zephaniah 3:17.

“For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry You; and as a groom rejoices over His bride, so your God will rejoice over you,”   Isaiah 62:5.

“You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance,”   Psalm 32:7.

“Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.  This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your forefathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this Manna will live forever,”   John 6:57-58.

Don’t Be Alarmed By Bad News You Hear

By June Sheltrown Reinke

“Don’t be alarmed by the bad news that you hear,” says The LORD.

“I have GOOD NEWS for you!  I have given you eternal life, an eternal destiny, eternal rewards and eternal joy that is unspeakable and full of GLORY.

“Your earthly sojourn is full of ups and downs, trials and tests, but your position in Me is sound.  I have given you a place that cannot be taken away from you as you will be seated in heavenly places with ME.

“I have given you blessings that cannot be extracted from you, and you are fully enabled to overcome everything that comes your way, by what have given you,” says The LORD.

“Let none of the troublesome things that you hear and see move you from your fixed position of being rooted and grounded in Me by your faith and trust in ME.

“I will finish the good work I have begun in you and perfect that which concerns you.  You will not be an incomplete or failure to thrive, regardless of the on slot of the enemy against you.

“You are already declared the victor in ME, as you stand upon Me and My eternal word, a sure foundation in any difficulty that you face.

“I have been with you in the past, am with you now, and forever I will be with you to bring you through every situation with the shout of victory, and the voice of triumph,” says The LORD.

Prophets Live Burdened

By Johann van der Hoven

Making It!

“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.  Many are the failures** of the righteous, but The LORD delivers him out of them all!”   Psalm 34:18-19

Although we may be imperfect in our ways, God searches our hearts and in finding His heart in ours, He mends our imperfect ways by His grace.

Without Him none of us will ever make it!

**Hebrew – rah.  Strong’s H7451  רָעָה    רַע,  ra‛    râ‛âh,  rah, raw-aw’

From H7489; bad or (as noun) evil (naturally or morally).  This includes the second (feminine) form; as adjective or noun: – adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, + displease (-ure), distress, evil ([-favouredness], man, thing), + exceedingly, X great, grief (-vous), harm, heavy, hurt (-ful), ill (favoured), + mark, mischief, (-vous), misery, naught (-ty), noisome, + not please, sad (-ly), sore, sorrow, trouble, vex, wicked (-ly, -ness, one), worse (-st) wretchedness, wrong. [Including feminine ra’ah; as adjective or noun.]

Herein lies the beautiful balance of the Gospel

While calling us to God’s high standard, it also brings us to the understanding that it is He Who we receive and yield to, “Who works in us to will after His good pleasure”.

It is He alone Who transforms us to become what He alone can mould us to be!

We can never compromise the Truth of the Gospel or seek to lower God’s standard –

Yet His Truth and standard is only attainable in our willingness to walk Hand in hand with Him, and to yield to Him to influence our hearts with His heart — Until we see with His eyes, hear with His ears and perceive with His heart!

Prophets Live Burdened

Elijah was a “burning fire” and a “troubler” of Ahab.  He called for Fire from Heaven and it fell.

Yet he was God’s lonely prophet who also became weary and tired of carrying the burden of God’s heart over Israel and in due season sought a release from The LORD …

“He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die.  “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors (these people whom You have sent me to bring Your Word to, whom I descend from.”   (1 Kings 19:4)

Prophets are men and women fully possessed by God and with God.  They are called to “cry” His heart, to carry His burden as a mother carries her unborn child in labor.

They are called to live beyond themselves, their humanity and their human failures, to “lift up their voice and shout aloud and spare not”, declaring God’s heart among His people.

Prophets live burdened….  They see with God’s eyes, hear with His ears and perceive with His heart, they speak boldly as messengers of His heart, yielded to His Spirit, yet they live humbly and walk meekly, fully knowing that they are no more than mere mortals on earth.

People of Purpose

By Greg Laurie

LISTEN

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.”

—Daniel 1:8

When Daniel was very young, probably a teenager, the Babylonians carried him away captive to Babylon. They brought him to the king’s palace to groom him in the Babylonian ways, along with his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

But Daniel was a man of purpose. The Bible tells us that he “purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank” (Daniel 1:8 NKJV).

Daniel made a principled stand to not eat the food at the king’s table. We don’t know why. The Bible doesn’t say. Maybe the Babylonians offered the food to idols, which I think was probably the case. But God honored their stand as a result. And in the end, Daniel and his friends were healthier than everyone else.

Daniel made a stand in a seemingly minor area. It doesn’t seem like a big thing, but it was to Daniel. Consequently, that experience gave him the strength he needed to make a stand in a significant area later in his life.

In the same way, if we make a stand in a seemingly small area now, we’ll be able to make a stand in a major area later.

Growing older can mean becoming set in our ways. We like routine. We like doing things the same way. That can be bad or good. It can be bad if we’re not open to any kind of change. But it can be good if we’re set in our spiritual ways and hardened in our spiritual disciplines.

We have a choice in life. We can be either thermostats or thermometers. A thermostat determines the temperature in the room. A thermometer simply tells you what the temperature is. Which one will you be?

"The Lord Wants to Recharge Your Spiritual Battery!"

By Judy Jacobs

The Bible says that the enemy comes to "wear out the saints" (Daniel 7:25 KJV). As the coming of the Lord draws closer and closer, there will continue to be onslaughts of the enemy's tirades to wear us down more and more. However, I also believe the Lord has the answers to all that we are going through and will go through.

The Word is our firm foundation upon which we stand. It keeps our feet steady. And, as David said in his psalm, "He makes my feet like hinds' feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble]..." (Psalm 18:33). The NLT translation says, "He makes me as surefooted as a deer..."

Because the enemy comes to wear us out, our spiritual battery can get run down. We get slow, tired, lethargic, sluggish, and burned-out! I believe the Lord has something to say to us about our spiritual battery and recharging us in His Holy Spirit.

He Is Recharging Your Mind, Body and Family

The Lord of Heaven's Host says to you today:

"My Holy Spirit is coming to you. I am coming to recharge and revitalize your inner man. I have seen your weariness and your struggles, and I understand them, for I have felt them, just as you are feeling them even now!

"I am releasing My Shekinah glory over you. My Shekinah glory is the same glory that descended on the temple that My servant Solomon built, when the glory was so strong that even My ministers could not minister. My glory is coming upon you just like in the day of Pentecost, when My Spirit fell and they all spoke with tongues and fire sat on each of them."

The Spirit says, "Charge! Charge! Charge! Be charged and BE RECHARGED in your mind. Be recharged in those things that have held you captive in your thoughts and dreams. Be recharged in the things that have held you captured in believing Me for the great and the mighty.

"I am reprogramming your mind to think My thoughts. I am rearranging the pattern of your memory to reorganize you into thinking the patterns of My Word. Remember My Word: '...Whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.' I declare a recharge! Recharge, RECHARGE!

"Be also recharged in your body. My hand is upon you right now to give you healing in your body. I am still the God that heals you! It is My will that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. I watch over My Word to perform it, and I am performing My Word over you to bring healing and deliverance," says the Lord.

"This sickness is a sickness that IS NOT TO DEATH! For I am raising you up to walk in the newness of life! Just like I raised My friend Lazarus from the grave, I am raising you from the grave of this sickness in your body! I am raising you to a RECHARGE!

"The vitality of My Holy Spirit is coming on you to make you run and not grow weary; to walk and not faint. You will feel supercharged in your body. Again I say, charge and recharge!

"In your family, I declare to you today: The family was My idea from the beginning. I made you all in My image. You look just like Me. I am doing a new thing in you all. My Spirit is taking you back to the season of joy and peace, as in the beginning. For some of you, it will be a new beginning that I will place in your lives, homes, and relationships.

"Take My joy today! My joy is a joy that is long lasting and genuine. The happiness that the world offers is temporary and 'plastic,' but the joy that I give is a wonderful reality. It is a joy that the world didn't give to you, and the world can't take it away!

"Trust Me in this season of your life. I am doing a great work, a mighty work, a powerful work, and a lasting work. I am RE-CHARGING your family structure, and when I finish, nothing will be, look, seem, sound, and feel the same," says the Lord of Hosts!

The Lord says, "My will and My purpose will prevail over all others. I will have My perfect will in this matter, and you will look back on this day and declare, 'The hand of the Lord has wrought this!'

The Everlasting Battery

"My battery is an EVERLASTING BATTERY! There is no shortage to My power that surges through this battery," says the Living God. "There is no need to worry about what will happen in the midnight hour, when all the light is gone. I will be the light to SUPERCHARGE your path!

"There is no need to worry if your battery will fail when you are needing it to take you forward, for I am RECHARGING your battery. I am recharging your battery to climb the steep hills and go through the low valleys of rough places and crevices—places that you will plow through with ease," says God.

"There is no need to be consumed with whether or not this battery will last through the heat or through the cold. I will comfort and strengthen you in the coldest of storms and winters that come through your life. I will gather you under My wings and hide you in My secret place.

"The heat may be overbearing at times. It may feel as if you will be consumed. But, My breath of freshness will blow on you, giving fresh perspective and fresh insight into My plans," says the Lord. "You will walk out of your darkness, coldness, valley, and extreme heat; you will walk out RECHARGED with My precious Holy Spirit.

Thank the Lord! Your Latter Will Be Greater Than Your Former

"I am coming now to REV UP your supernatural engine of endurance, perseverance, and well-being! Lean on Me and trust Me," says God. "Right now, I am standing over Heaven's balcony, sending reinforcements of 'RECHARGE' for you. Can't you feel it? Can't you sense it? It is coming on you and strengthening your feeble hands and weak knees. Your smile is coming back; your courage is growing stronger, and your faith is flexing!

"All that is left to do is to thank Me. With expectation, lift up your eyes and heart, believe My Word, and you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

"I am not just making you survive. I am causing you to THRIVE!

"Go in My victory, My glory, and My promise! Your latter will be greater than your former. Everyone who hears of your RECHARGE will want it. You will be able to lay hands on them and infuse My supernatural deliverance to them.

"Many will say to you, 'What happened to you?' And you will say, 'It is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes!'

"Go in My victory! Go in My authority! Be refreshed, be renewed, and be recharged," says the Almighty One.

Amen! Get ready, get set, C-H-A-R-G-E...TO BE RECHARGED! Hallelujah. Can you sense the Lord recharging your battery already? Take a moment and receive from the Lord as you let Him charge you up right now.

"Justice Reigns! How the Newly Crowned Miss Tennessee

Is a Message from God to the Nations"

By Johnny Enlow

"I saw the justice of God unfolding as He is righting the wrong of so much innocent bloodshed—and then I came home to see the beauty of Justice crowned publicly. It is a great day and my heart is elated—both at our personal story, but also at the Kingdom story being played out." - Johnny Enlow

     Justice Reigns! As many of you are aware, our amazing and beautiful daughter Justice was just crowned Miss Tennessee USA 2020. We are beyond excited for her and what she has overcome to win this pageant, but also the spiritual parallels and accompanying prophetic message from it all. (Screengrab image: via ClarksvilleOnline)

     Justice had to overcome Lyme disease and severe Endometriosis on her path to receiving this crown, but I am sure you will hear her say it was worth it. It was a couple of years ago at a Hollywood, CA pageant that her health challenges went to a severe level. She had just announced herself on stage and within two minutes collapsed backstage, ultimately ending up in the ER and hospital for three days.

     Justice was unable to finish that competition, but I observed that within days right there in Hollywood, the Harvey Weinstein allegations came out, and the #metoo movement ensued. There was something about Justice being announced on a stage in Hollywood that served as a prophetic act.

     Justice had to go through an intense and very delicate 7-hour operation related to the Endometriosis and had an arduous recovery, but continued to be led by God in knowing that she was to do pageants. Over the last three years or so, she has held several titles but has always fallen short of winning at the big stage of the state level, though she has done well.

Living Epistle

     Paul talked about being a "living epistle" where you don't just know the Scriptures, but God begins to use your life's story in a way that reveals God in an instructive way. This is so true with our "Justice Hope." Her name was given to me by the Lord even though we had a different named previously picked out. It came out of a season of seeing tremendous unrighteousness and injustice. The Lord was speaking that He was the ultimate Hope for Justice, and it is a guarantee that either here or there, now or later, His foundation of justice must be reckoned with.

     Justice is not necessarily synonymous with vengeance, but is rather about crooked paths and results being made strait. It is still always about God's grace, but justice is about God's mercy and grace FOR VICTIMS—those who have been wronged are coming to the forefront and receiving His attention. People who say, "No, we want grace not justice," are fundamentally misinformed on the place and value of justice. Justice is about wrongs being made right, and it is important to understand that this is a foundation of His throne. Justice is grace, but for the wronged.

Time for Justice to Be Seen on the Big Stage

     Our Justice has been contending for the big stage at the same time that justice, at a national level, has been contending for a crowning moment. The beauty of justice needs to be publicly revealed, as it causes many to rejoice. 

So many of you spoke of bursting into tears when Justice was announced as winner. Last night one of the judges came to us and said, "Justice is amazing." She said that when Justice walked out in her red dress, she literally "gasped" at her beauty, and that there was something she saw that Justice carried inside and out. Justice could not win on the big stage in California, but she was able to announce herself on that stage and become a serious contender. Justice in California is still being suppressed but it is forthcoming as well, and will soon be evidenced. (Photo L to R: Enlows with daughters Justice, Grace, and Glory)

     Last Thursday, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee declared it a day of humbling before God and praying for the state. It took guts for him to do that, but it is not coincidental that two days later, Justice won in Tennessee. There is an alignment that creates a new day that allows justice/Justice to flourish.

     It is also significant to me that a state that ends in SEE is where Justice reigns. We have just finished a decade on the Hebraic calendar where SEEING was the repeat focus, and I have previously spoken into that. Justice gets crowned in a state that starts with TEN and ends with SEE. With that, we head into 2020.

Something Has Changed

     As many of you have already noted in your comments to us, Justice winning is also a prophetic encouragement to the Body of Christ, the United States of America, and even to the world. His Justice is relentless and comes in waves. You can knock her off the stage and temporarily suppress her, but a wave of Justice will ultimately prevail and it will cause people to rejoice as Hope's flame comes alive. We are going to see true, good justice go viral, and it will both warn the evildoer and encourage the heart of the downtrodden.

     The day before the pageant, I returned from a most amazing trip to Uganda. There I was the keynote speaker at the large National Prayer Breakfast, invited by the president and parliament. The message was greatly received, and the president publicly praised it and asked if I would get that message in booklet form so he could get it around to the nation. I had personal meetings with the president, the prime minister, the speaker of parliament, and other dignitaries while being hosted and "chaperoned" by the minister of finance.

     I am used to favor, but this was unprecedented. I fell in love with the Ugandans and the story of justice and redemption that God is telling with the "living epistle" of Uganda. The nation known for the horror stories of Idi Amin and Joseph Kony is about to be told in an entirely new way.

     The president and first family [of Uganda] are absolutely amazing, God-fearing, and honoring individuals. Across the spectrum, at the top of government, Believers are in place and are now getting a better idea of how to receive the Kingdom of God at that level. I was in the very house where Idi Amin had underground tunnels for death and torture, and much innocent blood spilt. It is now a place where an altar to God has been intentionally raised and occupied by the first family.

     I saw the justice of God unfolding as He is righting the wrong of so much innocent bloodshed—and then I came home to see the beauty of Justice crowned publicly. It is a great day and my heart is elated—both at our personal story, but also at the Kingdom story being played out.

PEOPLE OF GOD IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I HEARD THE LORD SAY “THERE IS A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY OVER THE NATION FOR MY PEOPLE TO STEP INTO A MIGHTY OUTPOURING OF MY STRATEGIES IN GREATER ACCELERATION THAT WILL CHANGE THE COURSE OF THE NATION”

By Lana Vawser

This week I had a vision and I saw the Lord sitting on the throne and He had a large book upon His lap. When I looked at the engraving on the cover of the book, in gold writing it said “United States Of America”.

As I stood there watching what struck me was the sound of the PAGE turning and I heard the Lord say:

“WORSHIP! WORSHIP! WORSHIP! It’s a NEW DAY of DIVINE STRATEGY!”

I was struck by the sense of urgency in the atmosphere; it was like the sound of an alarm being sounded in the nation calling His people to attention. It wasn’t the sound of “not enough is being done” it was the sound of “get into position and FOCUS on Me in worship right now because you are about to receive nation changing KEYS”.

As the sound was heard across the United States by the people of God; I heard the sound of worship that was already resounding across the nation get even LOUDER. It was like I could hear the sound of “POSITIONING” resounding louder than ever. I could hear the sound of an army rising up with an increase of fire in their bellies that said “NOT ON MY WATCH”. It was a fierce cry and resolves to see the Kingdom of God and the victory of Christ manifested across the nation.

As I looked across the nation I saw Matthew 11:12:

“From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].” (Amplified Version)

“From the moment John stepped onto the scene until now, the realm of heaven’s kingdom is bursting forth, and passionate people have taken hold of its power.” (The Passion Translation)

I saw the ever-increasing work of the Holy Spirit upon God’s people in the United States to AWAKEN them to take hold of the promises of God for their nation, like never before. A divine intolerance was arising in God’s people like never before to not allow the enemy to steal, kill and destroy in their nation.

As I watched in this vision, I saw the Spirit of God working deeply in the hearts of God’s people to bring forth a deep surrender with them that His Kingdom would come in the United States of America, WITHOUT agenda. It was the call from the heart of God to embrace Him on HIS terms, how He chooses to come, who He wants to use, where He wants to show up and how He wants to show up. As God’s people worshiped there was a greater alignment and a ‘dealing of the heart’ taking place to usher His people deeper into the place of beautiful surrender for the Lord to move and show up as He chooses.

As worship was increasing in the nation like never before I heard the sound of loud rumbling, it sounded like a loud earthquake and I heard the Lord say “What I am releasing is nation changing and history altering strategy”. Suddenly I saw a HUGE wave come crashing down from the throne, from the book upon the Lord’s lap onto the people of God. As I watched I saw it was a “WAVE of DIVINE STRATEGY”. What struck me was that it was not just “one strategy” it was a wave of SO many strategies and SO many answers to MANY issues within the United States of America. I heard the Lord say:

“I am heralding the day of the greatest acceleration of divine strategy in the United States of America”

The Lord then showed me that there is a window of opportunity upon the United States right now to step into the greatest acceleration of RECEIVING divine strategy from the Lord for the nation and seeing it manifest.”

I could see the whirlwinds of distractions thrashing through the United States; I could see the huge giants standing guarding places they had occupied for a long time. The giants stood their smug looking as if they believed nothing could take them down.

Suddenly, again I could hear the sound of worship getting louder and louder in the nation and I heard the Lord say: “As in the days of Jericho, the walls will come tumbling down. The guarded places will SUDDENLY be opened by My power as My people worship that will usher in My wind to accelerate and bring to life and My fire to purge and My fire to ignite and revive.”

Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in. (Joshua 6:2-5)

The urgency of the hour surrounded me again. The same sense that has surrounded me in this new era from the heart of God for the entire body of Christ filled me for the people of the United States. “FOCUS”

I felt the fear of the Lord over me to encourage God’s people to continue to seek His heart and to position themselves in praise and worship right now for the SAKE OF THE NATION. For what God is releasing NOW in these divine strategies will be completely nation altering.

I then heard His decree:

“My people as you praise, as you worship Me over the nation and in the nation, I am releasing these strategies and the wisdom on HOW to implement them through prayer and building with Me that will see the greatest alignments of My hand take place that the nation has EVER seen. But you MUST show up and you MUST be intentional in your worship and praise. The wave of accelerated strategy is available to ALL but it is your choice to DIVE IN through your position of worship and praise and your surrender to MY WAY!!!!”

MODERN DAY NOAH’S ARE ARISING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WHAT THEY ARE BUILDING WITH ME IN OBEDIENCE WILL BE THE PLATFORMS FOR THE GREATEST REVIVAL, REFORMATION AND RENAISSANCE THAT THE NATION HAS EVER SEEN

I was surrounded by the sense as this wave of accelerated strategies that God was releasing into the United States came forth crashing upon His people that there are moments now and will continue in this new era where the Lord will release a strategy for you to build with Him that makes no sense in the natural. The blueprint He gives you, the wisdom He releases to you in the natural “seems impossible”, “doesn’t make earthly sense” but requires radical obedience to build with Him. Complete obedience in the building of the strategies God releases is crucial.

God is downloading new strategies for new directions within assignments and mandates that the Lord has already had many build and they have been building for years. There are new directions and extensions and changes being revealed from the Lord within those places. Do not fight against the changes the Lord wants to make, even if it doesn’t make sense to you, for in your obedience to change, shift, and rearrange at His Word is making room and setting the stage for the greatest move of God in your midst that will affect and influence the nation.

The Lord also spoke to me that these strategies the Lord releases and asks His people in the United States to build will be the platforms for the greatest revival, reformation and renaissance being released in the nation.

“ Faith opened Noah’s heart to receive revelation and warnings from God about what was coming, even things that had never been seen. But he stepped out in reverent obedience to God and built an ark that would save him and his family. By his faith the world was condemned, but Noah received God’s gift of righteousness that comes by believing.” (Hebrews 11:7 – The Passion Translation)

The Lord continues to highlight this Scripture to me for this new era for many reasons. As He spoke this verse to me again for God’s people in the United States for the work He is doing in the nation, I felt the invitation from His heart in this new era to be in the wave of strategy He is releasing with eyes to see and ears to hear. To be positioned to HEAR and RECEIVE the REDEMPTIVE SOLUTIONS from the Lord and step into a place of radical obedience with the Lord that is going to bring nation-wide shifts in the United States of America.

Revival is and will break out in the United States in some of the most unexpected ways and places because of the obedience of God’s people to seek Him in purity, to build what He is building and move forward in radical obedience.

These nation altering strategies from heaven being released to decree, to pray, to implement, to build will CHANGE THE COURSE OF THE NATION!

The Lord spoke again “In the implementation of My strategies there will be a CHANGING OF COURSE FOR THE NATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!”

The fear of God came over me again.

The words surrounded me:

“The fate of the nation, hangs in the balance. Arise, praise and worship and come up to a new level of SPEAKING what you SEE and then you will SEE WHAT YOU SPEAK!!!”

It is CRUCIAL right now to be SPEAKING what the Lord is revealing in the United States, NOTHING but the Word of God over and into the nation.

NOT ONLY AM I RELEASING AN ACCELERATION OF STRATEGIES, THERE WILL BE A DEMONSTRATION OF ACCELERATION IN THE MANIFESTATION OF MY HEAVENLY STRATEGIES AS MY PEOPLE OBEY ME

I heard the Lord say:

“Not only am I releasing an acceleration of strategies, there will be a demonstration of acceleration in the manifestation of My heavenly strategies as My people obey Me.”

“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the ploughman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills, and I will bring my people Israel back from exile. “They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. (Amos 9:13-14)

I then heard the words:

“Again I will shake the nation of the United States of America and the nation will tremble in awe and wonder of My power and that I am the One who sits in heaven and laughs at the plans of man. I am going to re-introduce the United States of America to My power. I am going to re-introduce the body of Christ in the United States to My Glory, My Majesty and power. Reverential fear of who I am will not only be restored to the Church in the United States of America, but the nation will tremble at the King of Glory. I, the Great Am and My ways.”

“How dare the nations plan a rebellion.

Their foolish plots are futile!

2 Look at how the power brokers of the world

rise up to hold their summit

as the rulers scheme and confer together

against Yahweh and his Anointed King, saying:

3 “Let’s come together and break away from the Creator.

Once and for all let’s cast off these controlling chains

of God and his Christ!”

“God-Enthroned merely laughs at them;

the Sovereign One mocks their madness! (Psalm 2:1-4 – The Passion Translation)

Why are the nations in an uproar [in turmoil against God],

And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?

The kings of the earth take their stand;

And the rulers take counsel together

Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint]

And cast away their cords [of control] from us.”

He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion];

The [Sovereign] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].” (Psalm 2:1-4 – Amplified Version)

REALLY, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

Father God is Spirit that created all natural or physical earth and all that is on it or in it. He also created heaven, spirit beings, and all of creation. Spirit God has all knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and power. Spirit God is sovereign over all creation. Spirit God is love and rules by righteous order in all creation.

Spirit God made man in His own image and likeness and gave mankind dominion of all life on Planet Earth to rule and reign with Him. Spirit God breathed His Spirit life into Adam giving him of His Spirit life. Thus making man a Spirit being in an earthly body. Adam fell in disobedience breaking the bond with Father God and loosing dominion on earth to Satan, a fallen powerful angel from heaven cast down to earth. (Genesis chapters 1-3).

(Scripture reference for the rest of this article is the New Testament especially the four gospels.)

God became man in Christ Jesus, Yeshua Messiah, to redeem and reinstate mankind back into His original state. Jesus defeated Satan and took back dominion for mankind on earth. Spirit Christ came to earth born of a virgin as human being, endured the cross and defeated Satan at the resurrection and ascended back to the Father in Heaven. He returned to earth in the Holy Spirit to abide in mankind to reestablish the fullness of the dominion of mankind on earth as it was designed to be from the beginning, the kingdom of God.

THE RULE OF SPIRIT GOD IN MANKIND BY CHRIST JESUS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH.

King means sovereign or monarch, “dom” is the root of dome, domain, and dominion. Thus kingdom means sovereign rule of a territory or domain.

The kingdom of God as Christ Jesus proclaimed and demonstrated it on earth is the sovereign ruler/dominion of God or of heaven on earth, the ruler/dom of God or of heaven on earth.

The power to reign with love and righteous order is in Christ Jesus. Christ is in His people by the Holy Spirit to rule and reign on earth. The power and love that brings righteousness, peace and joy on earth is in the Holy Spirit.

The kingdom of God is now on earth in Christ Jesus, Yeshua Messiah, by the Holy Spirit of Christ within those in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. The full creative love and power of God is within His people to flow out to redeem the world and transform it back to the Garden of Eden original plan and purpose of God.

Christ in you is the hope (positive expectation) of glory from heaven on earth. (Colossians 1:27).

As fallen human beings redeemed by Christ Jesus and filled with His life by the Holy Spirit, we still have a choice to believe and cooperate with and appropriate the work of Christ Jesus now on earth. Jesus has defeated the devil, and the only right Satan has to attack and harm mankind is the right given to him by mankind. We still are given dominion, and through our beliefs, words, and actions we can release the enemy powers of darkness of Satan to do great harm to mankind and the whole world. Or we can bind Satan and His demons and destroy His work in the world by releasing and appropriating the finished work of Christ Jesus thus restoring the kingdom of God rule on earth as it is in heaven.

Satan working through evil spirits or demons works to blind the minds of human beings to the reality of the potential of the kingdom of God now available to mankind on earth. Working through religious spirits posing as angels of light, he has had great success is suppressing the reality of the kingdom through misinterpreting scripture and establishing doctrines of demons in many church systems that block the mind to the truth of the present kingdom of God potential. Satan causes the people to believe that they cannot have the kingdom now but must wait for a future further work of Jesus.

IT IS FINISHED

Christ Jesus has already defeated the devil. It is us, mankind, who must enact our dominion rights to appropriate the finished work of Jesus into the world by our acceptance and alignment with His work in us by the Holy Spirit. All the love and power of Father God and Christ Jesus from heaven is now available within us by the Holy Spirit to rule and reign with Him on earth.

SEEING PAST THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS

How is it that in the greatest country in the world such gross blindness is affecting so many people? Why is there such deep divisions and differences of interpretations by so many Americans?

On the surface we could blame the very different views perpetrated by mass media, public education, entertainment, religious denominational teachings, and many other sources of data being fed into the minds and hearts of the population. Certainly these things are the vehicles delivering a barrage of both foolish fantasy, devious lies, and mind-bending twisted news.

While at the same time another stream of power and love of the reality of the kingdom of God is flowing into the land.

The deeper real question is, why is it that a large percentage of men and women from all walks of life cannot discern the truth from the foolishness and lies? The fact is that there is a tremendous lack of insight and discernment in the minds and hearts of much of the population including many Christians. A large percentage of the people are deceived by the barrage of smoke and mirrors of the deceptive globalist ideology and other deceptive belief systems seeking to destroy the emerging kingdom of God reality coming forth on earth.

The counterfeit fake kingdom one world government is a major part of the kingdom of darkness seeking to enslave and dominate the entire world. This is the enemy’s counterfeit for the true kingdom of God ruling the world with love, righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

RESTORING STOLEN SPIRIT COMMUNION

The devils smoke and mirrors cunning deception has so traumatized many believers against the Spirit-to-Spirit communion that opens the way to seeing and hearing clearly the magnificent heavenly Spirit connection with Father God that they fear the manifest presence of our Heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit. One of the devil’s effective tricks is to mimic the real manifestations of the Holy Spirit in a person and then cause them to do some blatantly evil work.

Thus reinforcing the fear of the manifest presence and works of Spirit God. When the real love and mighty power of the presence of God come before them, they run away in fear. In other words Satan creates counterfeit spiritual works that look like the real and then uncovers them to cause people to turn away from the real. This enables him to continue killing, stealing, and destroying from the people of God.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER

Love is arising creating humble godly men and women who give their lives to caring for and bringing forth the kingdom of God in the hearts and lives of others. Supernatural power demonstrations in the atmosphere of the loving care of Spirit God can soon wipe away the resistance and melts the hearts of the people.

This is the work of restoration of true communion with Sprit God in the Holy Spirit without reservation or hesitation.

This is truly falling in love with God and becoming one with Him in all that we are and all that we do.

Our hearts are melted together with Him now and forever.

The supernatural creative power is then free to flow through us as it was in Christ Jesus in His natural body on earth. We become the much multiplied Body of Christ in which He fully dwells to do the mighty works of establishing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

Christ Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.” “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.”

Resist Not Evil

By Russ Walden

The Father says today, "resist not evil." Do you understand that I am your defender and protector? What can man do to you? What can a man take from you? When you act in your own defense, you are deviating from My purposes for your life. My purpose in your life is to provision you and bring you via the shortest route to your greatest blessing. The enemy knows where your panic button is and how to make you flinch. Lean on My grace, and you will prevail over the temptation to react with "fight or flight" when the enemy threatens you.

The threat is real, says the Father, but it is temporal. My protection is equally real and eternal. Lean on My grace. Trust in Me. Trust that I will show up in the conflict, rain down on you, and drive away every adversary. Your enemies are My enemies. Let your mouth pray. Set up around your life and your loved ones a "prayer perimeter." Set aside all those weak prayers and weak dishwater teachings that only cause all your faith to flow out your feet. Put your emotions in check and rise up in your spirit to join with My Spirit against every assault of the adversary, and you will see victory and will overcome.

FIRE BY NIGHT

By Glenn H. Jackson

 "Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]

         ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB 

GODLY DESIRE IS THE SPONTANEOUS FRUIT OF

A "BURNING AND ACTIVE" REVELATION

Words of prophecy:                                                              

*       It is My desire, Will and intention for every last bit of true service [Kingdom-service] to be empowered by the Holy Spirit [Who is the Spirit of Christ], alone.

        ...."I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing".... John 15:5 NASB

        Godly desire is the spontaneous fruit of "a burning and active revelation" [the Spirit of wisdom and revelation] that is found abiding in one's heart.

        ...."[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints [His set-apart ones]".... Ephesians 1:17-18 The Amplified Translation

Prayer of Proclamation:

        Father, we thank You and praise You that, as we give Your holy Word preeminence in our lives, throughout each day, "godly desire" is continually imparted to us by the Holy Spirit in our inner man - manifesting in words and deeds on our part that are perfectly aligned with the deepest thoughts and intentions of Your Heart. And we declare it DONE  [on an ongoing basis], in Jesus' Name - to Your greatest Glory. Amen.

        ...."If you abide [dwell] in Me, and My words abide ["actively" dwell] in you, ask whatever you wish [desire], and it will be done for you".... John 15:7 NASB

Spending Time Wisely

By Johann van der Hoven

Spend as much time in the Presence of God as you do in ministry and you will be a well balanced minister of the Gospel.

Spend double the amount of time in the Presence of God than you spend in ministry and you will be an exceptional minister of the Gospel.

Spend less time in the Presence of God than you do in ministry and you will probably have more to say than Him!

Our time with our Father directly impacts upon our effectiveness in being vessels of His Presence whereby He may communicate Himself to His people.

Powerful ministries are the fruit of men and women who spend much time in the Presence of a Powerful God, and who as a result are impacted by His Presence in a Powerful way!

By Johann van der Hoven

Don’t Fret About Your Unknown Future

By June Sheltrown Reinke

“Don’t fret about your unknown future,” says The LORD.

“It is known by Me. I have planned and prepared for every moment of your earthly sojourn, and you need not worry.

“I know the way that you take, and I will order every step.  Forsake the fear, abandon the unbelief and forget the negative voices of every naysayer.

“The opinions of others will disrupt your peace, for there is no end to them.  They will advise you of what you are to do when they cannot even come up with solutions for themselves.

“WHY would you want to lean on the arms of the flesh that can only do fleshly things?” says The LORD.

“Lean on Me, who knows you, knows every situation that exists now and that which is unknown to you,” says The LORD.

“For nothing is a problem to Me.  Nothing is beyond My infinite understanding, and nothing can puzzle Me.  I AM above all and on spot for everything that pertains to your life.

“I will not need you to wring your hands or spend endless hours fretting about things you cannot understand or control.

“TRUST that I have it, as well as you, and you are never without My perfect plan for your every moment of your life, says the LORD.

I Stood On A Dock Made of Stone

By Kathy Mote

In a dream, I stood on a dock made of stone, and etched into the stone at odd angles was ancient writing, stating man's thinking and opinion. There was a woman who was speaking to me in a language that sounded like Portuguese. She and her wealthy family were very upset, and she kept telling me that someone had stolen their yacht. She kept crying to me that their Bota were gone.

In this dream I knew the Lord had taken their boat and given it to His children, but I didn't know how to tell her this, or if I was allowed to. I didn't feel that I should argue with her. She didn't speak the same language. When I awoke, I looked up the word Bota. It means boot, or heavy walking shoe. I saw that they were stranded on the dock etched with their own opinion.

The Lord showed me that He is taking away the reward for man's religion, efforts and thinking. He is showing the fruitlessness of man's ways as He makes a way for His children. The people who were so upset with me thought I could do something about this, but I couldn't. I could not explain this to them because they didn't speak the same language. They understood nothing.

All of mankind who have respected their own opinion have not sought God and His opinion. They have not given their heart to Him, called Him Lord or honored Him. He is taking away their portion, laying waste to their efforts to make their own place without Him. Because they did not honor Him, He will not honor them, but His own children He will fill with delight. He will abundantly bless those who love Him. He will reward those who seek Him. He has made a way for us to enter that no man can deny, and no one can counterfeit.

The days are upon us when God's children will be known by God's blessing.

I Saw in the Spirit An Ancient, Very Heavy Cement

Door Shudder And Begin to Open

By Kathy Mote

I saw in the Spirit an ancient, very heavy cement door shudder and begin to open. On the side of the door where we are standing was a world made of cement. There was no Life in it. Everything appeared to be man made and was sterile and lifeless. There was no joy anywhere to be found on this side of it. The Lord told me He would open the door to great revelation.

At first this door opened only a crack, but as it moved, I began to see what was on the other side of it. I saw beautiful Life and the joy of living things, soft grass and bright sunshine enough to make your heart sing. I heard the door shudder and the world on this side of the door began to shake as there began a great rumbling.

The Lord said it was time to reveal His face. Time to reveal those things that have been hidden for such a time as this and none of these things are man made. Time to reveal glory, prosperity, joy and healing. Time to know that His Life contains all these things and is found in His presence, given freely. Time to know God's power and to abide in the beauty of humility.

The Lord said, Great revelation is being poured out that will change the world you live in. I will pour out a revelation that will pierce every heart and make every head spin. This is the knowledge of My thoughts and My heart, a revelation not yet seen. This is knowledge you can only perceive as you are brought to Me. This has not been seen by those who abide in the dark, for the time has come for those in darkness to see My face in My Beloved. They will shine like a blinding Light to those in the dark. What I have done in those who are in My arms will show the world what I am like. My children will know My faithfulness as they are brought to glorious Life.

His Gift to You

By Kathy Mote

The hunger in your heart to hear Him and be near Him is His gift to you. It is your very personal invitation. It awakens your heart to come to Him. It is His Spirit living and breathing in you, and when you are awakened by it, you have been 'quickened'. That's not a word we use today, but it means 'made alive and feeling'.

Knowing in your head is not at all the same thing as knowing by personal experience and that explains the difference. We who know Him try to explain this to those who know of Him and it is the case of the 'haves' and the 'have not’s'. This isn't something you can preach on. But the power of God to quicken and make alive is present and He has been setting things up for us to shine brightly.

The 'haves' are really annoying the 'have not’s and their differences are a gulf between them that is widening. I think this is a very good thing. I think that change is coming. I hear the Lord say, “It's time to shake them up to wake them up. Pour oil on My Beloved.” Only He can do this. What a glorious day this is.

Unbelievable Move by President Trump

By Jeremiah Johnson

 “Here is President Trump’s unbelievable and genius move in Syria! By pulling the troops out of Syria, Turkey invaded Syria and assaulted the Kurds, Russians sent an envoy to Damascus to make a deal between the #Kurds and Syrian government to unite them against Turkey. Iran is not happy the Turks are in Syria and brought their troops to the border of Turkey, Germany hits #Turkey with sanctions. Do you see what a chess player Trump is? As long as U.S was there, those forces were united against U.S. He is putting these former allies against each other and they neutralize each other and didn’t cost U.S. anything. Formerly Turkey, Iran, Russia and #Syria were united against U.S. Europeans were not involved and were enjoying U.S. protecting their interest but now they are busy fighting for their interests.

It’s good for Israel because Iran has to defend Syria against turkey instead of focusing on harming Israel, three enemies of Israel, Iran turkey and Syria are facing off against each other. This invasion is gonna cost Turkey a lot! So it brought unity between Syria and Kurds, and division between Russia, Turkey and Iran. This is just unbelievable what President #Trump is doing! This guy is a genius.”

Spirit Dominated

By Greg Laurie

LISTEN

“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.”

—Daniel 6:3

Daniel’s spiritual life wasn’t merely an afterthought. It wasn’t something that he found time for in his busy schedule. His life revolved around it.

As Daniel 6 opens, Babylon has fallen. Darius is now in charge of the Persian kingdom. And immediately, Daniel appears on the new king’s radar.

Why was that? Daniel had integrity and honesty. He stood out from other people. And at around eighty years old, he was a seasoned saint.

King Darius wanted to elevate Daniel above his other advisors, making him the most powerful man in the kingdom, next to the king himself. The king chose him for such a position as a result of his hard work, excellence, and integrity.

We need Christians like Daniel in our government and schools. We need them in medicine, music, and sports. The list goes on and on. We need believers to let their lights shine everywhere.

And like Daniel, Christians should always do their best work. They should be the best at whatever they do.

In effect, Daniel had a ministry in politics. He influenced world leaders and didn’t compromise the truth. The Bible tells us that he “distinguished himself above the other governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him” (Daniel 6:3 NKJV).

“Excellent spirit” also translates “spirit dominated.” You’re never more clearheaded than when the Holy Spirit is directing you.

Although Daniel lived at the epicenter of rampant idolatry and incredible cruelty, he remained a righteous man. In the midst of widespread sexual immorality, Daniel flourished spiritually.

That is because Daniel made time for what mattered: his relationship with God.

"God Is Establishing Covenant Promises! Are You Ready?"

By Candice Smithyman

The Lord gave me a prophetic dream for this Hebrew New Year 5780 concerning the decade of "Pey," which is the Hebrew letter for the number 80, a symbol that has the appearance of a mouth. Many prophets have been sharing that this will be the decade where we must speak to move destiny and create change in the earth.

"My Word Will Not Return Void"

In this dream I was in a church, at the podium, speaking. There were only a few people in the sanctuary and they were working in the back. These were people who cared for the church, and they were talking and taking out garbage. They represent the servants no one notices as they serve God humbly.

I threw the mic in their direction and I remember thinking, "Am I losing my mind? This Mic is thousands of dollars and now it will be broken." But when it hit the ground it bounced and then started bouncing off all the seats in the sanctuary that were empty.

As it bounced, the Mic turned the color red and got bigger until it was so huge it was like a boulder. It was a Mic with the fire and rock of the Lord.

Then the Holy Spirit said to me loudly in the dream, "My Word will not return void but accomplish the purposes for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). As I woke up and began to pray, I realized God was saying that when His voice goes out, it will continue to grow with fire until it accomplishes what He sent it to accomplish. This word will be carried even by His humble servants who go unnoticed by others but God notices them.

God had spoken to me a few weeks before that this would be the year where He would establish covenant promises with His people. God establishes these promises with us because we are His children, bought with the covenant Blood of Jesus. When God's Word is spoken and released by us with faith, it will come to pass.

When we talk about God establishing His promises with us, what does this mean? Well, a covenant promise is one that God makes to us and makes to our hearts. If God says, "I'm establishing covenant promises this year," it means that He is going to be setting things in motion in your life to establish covenant. These are the promises that will be tested. These tests are coming against the Word He spoke to you and you will need to rise in faith.

Once the Word of God goes out, the enemy comes to steal the Word (Matthew 13:19). As you continue through this new year 5780, walk in faith knowing that this will be the year that God will establish His covenant promises with you, and that you will begin to see changes for your future that will benefit the Kingdom of God.

King David

I want to share with you the story of one who knew and understood this—King David. David was set apart and consecrated to be the king at a young age, but it would be many years before he ever actually sat on the throne. He had to go through many years believing that he was anointed with oil and set apart, and that a promise was made to Him by God.

God chose David for his heart and set him apart, but David was moved into a place where he had to remain quiet until the day that he was called to step forward. Do you know what day that was? It was the day when he faced Goliath. The day that David was promoted was the day He had to enter a battle and operate in faith to kill the giant.

When God says He's going to establish a covenant with you, you will face Goliath. In 1 Samuel 17:34-37 (NIV), David says to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine."

If God says He is going to establish you this year in the covenant promise that He made with you, He's going to raise you up, and as you're going forth, when you face the enemy before you, you will know who you are.

You'll be able to say, "But you enemy, you Goliath, you liar, you devil, you uncircumcised, non-covenantal god; you cannot take the covenant that I've entered into with God, because I know who I am. I know that I'm circumcised and you are going down because God is establishing His covenant with me."

The word "establish" in the Hebrew is the word "qum" which means "to rise." You will rise in your faith and position in confidence to go forth because you know who you are in Him.

When God says, "I'm going to establish a covenant," God's saying, "I'm going to go before you. My name will go before you."

Circumcision to the Israelites was their identity (Genesis 17:10). That's what set them apart from every other tribe on the planet. As Believers in Jesus, we are set apart as circumcised members of the Kingdom, which means we have a power that every other god and enemy on the planet does not have.

We will be challenged just as David was challenged in his identity as the anointed and appointed one of God to be the king. David knew who he was. He had the oil poured over his head. He had exercised in his environment the fighting of the lion and the bear. So, all along he was equipping himself. We should be equipping ourselves as we are fighting lions and bears with the Word of God, worship, prayer, fasting, and the spiritual disciplines.

Your Appointed Time

One day, your challenge for identity and the covenant promise God made with you will come. As the anointed and appointed one, when it's your time to step into the position where God can establish His covenant, God will be there. When you pull out those five small stones, you're going to knock that devil in the head without any trouble at all. The supernatural will come and do it for you because it's all by faith.

God says, "I've already established My covenant with you." That thing is going down. It's uncircumcised. It has NOT been set apart by a covenant with God Himself. You who are the circumcised ones in your hearts have all the power; now step into place right now.

Ezekiel 36:26-28 (NKJV) says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God."

We need to realize that if God is saying, "I'm going to establish covenant with you," He's also saying, "Are you prepared to fight Goliath with the Word of God and all of the preparation that you've done behind the scenes where nobody saw?" All your closet prayers, all your tears, all the trials you faced in the early years with God by your side...all that preparation is now about to come to fulfillment.

You are filled with the power of God, so pick up your five small stones and sling them. They're going to hit the devil in the head and he's going to be laid out. Why? He's uncircumcised and you're not. You're part of the circumcised family of God. That's your identity. This should be your mindset.

Stand Up in Faith!

When God says, "I'm going to establish covenant with you in 5780," He's saying, "I'm expecting you to stand up and be who I've called you to be. I'm expecting you to know your identity as a circumcised citizen of the Kingdom and stop bowing down to the Goliath who's coming to steal the covenant that I've established with you.

"I'm expecting you to stand up and to fight for the Kingdom, and to go forward and do what it is I'm calling you to do. I'm expecting you to repent. I'm expecting you to leave that sin. I'm expecting you to get yourself up every single time the devil knocks you down and keep on going. I'm expecting this of you."

Why? Because you're circumcised in your heart.

The only way the giant's going down is if you live by faith in knowing that it is God Himself who establishes the covenant. If God says He wants something done, it's going to get done. If God says that He wants a victory in this area, there's going to be a victory. God says it's His covenant. God will bring it to pass when you are faithful to live by faith. He is always faithful and He is not a man that He should lie. Everything to Him is yes and amen; it's "go forward," it's abundance, it's increase, and it's multiplication.

You serve a good, good Father. You serve one that knows your pain, knows your brokenness, and He will not break a broken reed. He will not stab you when you're down. He'll lift a hand to you and He'll lift you up. He'll look you in the eyes and He'll say, "It's okay, son. It's okay, daughter, put it on. You just forgot who you are. The circumcision in Me took care of it. Get yourself dressed and let's go establish the covenant promise in 5780."

This is going to be a dynamite year of establishing covenant promises, all because God said He wants to do it. We must get on board with Him and stand up and fight the uncircumcised Philistines in our lives; for we have His power, His strength, and His promise.

"A Time of Speaking Clearly to See Clearly"

By Amanda Crabb

     There is a decade shift upon us. According to the Hebrew calendar, we have been in the decade of the Ayin. "Ayin" is the 16th letter in the Hebraic alphabet. It has a numerical value of 70 and is associated with the "eye" or "to see."

     For the last 10 years we have been in a season of vision casting. God has allowed His people to set their eyes and establish their vision upon Him and His plans for the future. Habakkuk 2:2, 3 says, "...Write the vision and make it plain on tablets...Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

     There are many of us who would say that we have journals full of visions and dreams, but we haven't seen them come into the fullness of time yet. Although we have seen a lot happen in the last 10 years, there is a divine shift upon us now.

     On September 29 at sundown (Rosh Hashanah), we moved into the Jewish year 5780. "Pey," in Hebrew, is the 17th letter in the alphabet. It has a numerical value of 80 and is related to "the mouth" or "speaking."

Speak Clearly to See Clearly

     I heard the Lord say that in order to see clearly in 20/20, we must speak clearly. We shall have whatever we are speaking in this coming season. If we are decreeing and declaring His promises over our lives, that is what we will have!

     Our natural vision cannot change unless our words do first. Mark 11:24 says that whatever we ask in prayer, BELIEVING, we shall receive it!

     It is time for the Body of Christ to guard the mouth gate. If it doesn't line up with His Word, we don't need to speak it. As leaders, and seasoned Christians, we are being called out of leading from our emotions to leading from His Word, His presence and His Spirit.

     Our eyes are about to behold some amazing things, but all of this has first been seen in our secret place. Amos 3:7 says, "Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants and prophets."

     So the question is, have you written it down? Have you been in the secret place of the most high God? It is time to start speaking life over what God has shown you in secret. It is time for the Bride to boldly decree a thing! As we take the time and call our hearts into alignment, our words will follow! Matthew 12:34 says, "...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

     Start preparing your body for His temple dwelling. He is asking His Bride to open her mouth wide and He will fill it.

A "Chuppah" for the Bride

     I prophetically heard that the next 10 years of ministry are crucial. There is a "chuppah" coming over His Bride. "Chuppah," in Hebrew, is a canopy or a chamber.

     Isaiah 4:5-6, "Then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain."

     Joel 2:16 says, "Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet."

     We are entering into a season where God Almighty will be our canopy and His Bride is coming out of the closet.

     In times of war, armed forces have often set up tents that match the ground they are on; that way, if the enemy should fly over them, they won't be seen from an aerial view point. Ephesians 2:2 refers to satan as the "ruler" and "prince of the air."

     There will be a people rising who will not fear becoming a casualty of war when they speak God's Word. So much of the Church has remained in a "closet" position, but we are moving into a season of coming out! As the Bride rises to the occasion to minister effectively and boldly for His Kingdom cause, the Lord Almighty Himself will be our shield, our defense, our chuppah!

     Matthew 6:6, "But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly."

     This isn't a time to forsake the secret place, it's a time when whatever is instructed there will be brought out into the open. What is spoken in private will be declared from the rooftop!

     Get ready to be a WITNESS for the greatest harvest of souls the Church has ever seen! In Isaiah chapter 6, Isaiah desired to have his mouth cleansed in order to be God's mouthpiece. May we ask the Holy Spirit to do the cleansing work that only He can do, so we can come out of our secret place and declare effective truth in this "Now" season!

FIRE BY NIGHT

By Glenn H. Jackson

 "Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]

         ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB 

GREAT AND GLORIOUS CHANGES

Words of prophecy:                                                             

*       Believe - and keep on believing. Receive - and keep on receiving, ALL that I have prepared for you.

"Believe"- to have confidence in the existence, or the reliability of something [in this case, through a supernatural revelation of God's Word];

"Receive" - to take into one's possession through appropriation;

"Appropriate" - to take to or for oneself;

Latin: "recipere"- regain, take back, bring back, carry back, recover; take to oneself;

        ...."But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also , therefore we also speak".... 2 Corinthians 4:13 NASB

        ...."In [supernatural] hope against [natural] hope he [Abraham] believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, 'SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE'. Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform".... Romans 4:18-21 NASB

        ...."And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God". [lit. have the faith of God] "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be [granted] him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe [based on the finished work of the Cross, the Word of God and the Blood Covenant] that you have [already] received them, and they will be [granted] you".... Mark 11:23-24 NASB

        ...."Jesus said, 'Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last, first".... Mark 10:29-31 NASB

        That which is about to "manifest" in this final hour in the midst [lives] of God's faithful ones will happen "abruptly" [suddenly] on many fronts.

"Abrupt"- beginning, ending, or changing suddenly; unexpected;

Latin: "ab" - off + "rumpere" - to break;

       ...."Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert".... Isaiah 43:18-19 NASB

Prayer of Proclamation:

        Father, we thank You and praise You for Your "suddenlies" in our lives in this hour - suddenlies that will bring about   the great and glorious changes that will empower us to BREAKTHROUGH through on EVERY front [spirit, soul, body, financially, relationship-wise, location/environment-wise and  ministry-wise]. And we declare it DONE  [on an ongoing basis], in Jesus' Name - to Your greatest Glory. Amen.

FIRE BY NIGHT

By Glenn H. Jackson

 "Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]

         ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB 

THE LIFE OF FAITH IS NOT SOMETHING THAT ONE "TRIES" IN THEIR OWN STRENGTH AND INTELLECT

Words of prophecy:                                                             

*       The life of faith should not be a foreign concept to My children.

        ...."we walk by faith [revelation], not by sight [feelings - or lack thereof]".... 2 Corinthians 5:7 NASB

        ...."Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith".... Habakkuk 2:4 NASB

        Faith is not something that one "tries" in their own strength and intellect. The life of faith comes [manifests], and is sustained in one's life by "revelation" - and an "abiding" trust in the Father and in His Word.

        ...."But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak".... 2 Corinthians 4:13 NASB

        ...."Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil".... Proverbs 3:5-7 The Amplified Translation

Prayer of Proclamation:

        Father, we thank You and praise You that You have raised us up a people of faith - a people who abide   [dwell] in the place of a deep, deep trust in You [Your faithfulness] and Your Word. And we declare it DONE  [on an ongoing basis], in Jesus' Name - to Your greatest Glory. Amen.

        ...."For in Him [Christ - the Word of God] we live and move and have our being [entire existence]".... Acts 17:28a The Amplified Translation
