Editor’s Note: Lana Vawser: A Word for Many Daughters of God Who Have Been in Long Standing Places of Contending for Healing
March 10, 2020
I had an encounter with the Lord recently and He showed me many, many women across the earth that have been in a long standing battle contending for healing. It was highlighted to me strongly that it was healing that they were contending for. It wasn’t just physical healing that these women were contending for, there were various areas but the common theme across all of them was this deep cry for healing.
I watched in this encounter as each woman was standing on the promises of God and began to stamp their feet hard on the ground. No matter how long they had been standing and contending, they refused to move off the Word of God and the fire of conviction to see the Word of God manifest in their life was getting stronger and stronger. I began to notice that these women all across the earth as they stamped their feet, were actually stamping their feet in UNISON. They were all stamping their feet to the same beat. Each time they stamped their feet in faith with the promise of God for healing in their lives, it was like I could hear the sound of a hammer, coming down and the atmosphere was SO pregnant. It was SO thick. The sound of the hammer coming down strongly spoke so loudly of the BREAKING FORTH of BREAKTHROUGH but it also spoke of JUSTICE. The sound of the gavel coming down. ...Detailed Reading
Editor’s Note: Devotional – Nita Johnson : The Light (B)
I have been discussing the fact that Jesus is Light. What He is doing in our midst at this moment is lifting an army, if you will, an “Army of Light.” It is just that His plans are so wonderful, so much bigger, so much greater and so much grander than anything that we could possibly imagine in our natural minds! Truly, His Word speaks to us when it says that His thoughts are not our thoughts. We do not really understand; His plans for us are beyond our ability to comprehend. It is just so exciting! I think it is one of the most exciting times to be alive in His Kingdom in the earth.
In the heart of the Lord, this “Army of Light” is going to eclipse everything else that has ever been demonstrated by God Himself! So, I just think that since we could not be up on the mountain with Moses and we could not be at Pentecost when it was given to us, thank the Lord that we can be at this one! ...Detailed Reading

In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord. “In that day I will respond,” declares the Lord — “I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth; and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

Global Critical Event
Critical Event: Increasing Global Religious Persecution – Calling to Pray for Persecuted Christians
【Current Event: According to statistics, 260 million Christians are being persecuted daily for their beliefs. Last year, 2,983 Christians were killed. Nearly 9,500 churches were attacked.

Many families are broken up which resulting in nearly 60,000 widows and 60,000 orphans. Most of them are Christians.
However, despite the rising persecution, there is also good news of breakthrough. The number of Iranian Christians is growing faster than anywhere in the world in spite of persecution, more than 1 million Muslims in many Islamic countries met Jesus Christ and they have started meeting in underground house churches. At the urging of the United States, a total of 27 countries formed the “International Religious Freedom Alliance” to combat religious persecution around the world. … Detailed Reading】

Editor’s Note: Lana Vawser: A Word for Many Daughters of God Who Have Been in Long Standing Places of Contending for Healing
March 10, 2020
I had an encounter with the Lord recently and He showed me many, many women across the earth that have been in a long standing battle contending for healing. It was highlighted to me strongly that it was healing that they were contending for. It wasn’t just physical healing that these women were contending for, there were various areas but the common theme across all of them was this deep cry for healing.
I watched in this encounter as each woman was standing on the promises of God and began to stamp their feet hard on the ground. No matter how long they had been standing and contending, they refused to move off the Word of God and the fire of conviction to see the Word of God manifest in their life was getting stronger and stronger. I began to notice that these women all across the earth as they stamped their feet, were actually stamping their feet in UNISON. They were all stamping their feet to the same beat. Each time they stamped their feet in faith with the promise of God for healing in their lives, it was like I could hear the sound of a hammer, coming down and the atmosphere was SO pregnant. It was SO thick. The sound of the hammer coming down strongly spoke so loudly of the BREAKING FORTH of BREAKTHROUGH but it also spoke of JUSTICE. The sound of the gavel coming down.
I then saw fire come out of heaven and fall upon the lives of these women all across the earth and the fire of His presence and the fire of His Word came and suddenly engulfed and purified. The areas that needed healing, suddenly were healed. The process had been long, the contending had been long, but the miracle had then suddenly manifested.
The Lord spoke to me that, THAT MIRACLE MOMENT is now upon these women who have been in long standing journey’s of contending for healing.
In the explosive miracle that took place in their lives not only brought forth the fulfillment of the Word of the Lord (Isaiah 55:11) but it also activated a birthing that had been taking place. I was taken back to the sound of the women of God stamping their feet in unison and beating to the same rhythm. The Lord then spoke these words “The rhythm that you hear is the rhythm of My heart being released in the spirit for the greatest healing revival that has ever been seen coming forth on the earth and these women are KEY in this revival.”
Suddenly I saw the birthing taking place in the earth and much of it was flowing from the lives of these women all across the earth and as I looked closer in the Spirit it was like the anointing that Kathryn Kuhlman carried.
It isn’t that all that will move in this anointing like that of Kathryn Kuhlman, having a ministry that looks like hers, it is a MANTLE. It was a mantle for unusual, astounding signs, wonders and miracles that is birthed from the place of deep, deep intimacy.
Kathryn Kuhlman’s life and ministry hold keys for this new era that are not just for the anointing that will be released upon daughters of God, but keys of wisdom and impartation in stewarding this new era.
The Lord spoke again:
“This activation will happen simultaneously with the miracle of their healing.”
The sense surrounded me so strongly that this activation of this glorious healing anointing would literally happen ‘overnight’. It wouldn’t be a long drawn out process, but as the healing manifested in many of their lives, then suddenly the anointing was released.
I then saw these women carrying this anointing opening their mouths WIDELY and out of their mouths came golden keys. One after another, after another. The Lord spoke again “Watch these women, for they will carry my keys of strategy and wisdom for this new era. Watch what they speak for their words will carry weight to unlock.”
I looked up and I saw golden leaves beginning to fall from the sky and I heard Revelation 22:2:
“On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (NASB)
The Lord then spoke again:
“It’s time for the leaves! It is time for the leaves!”
I began to see a huge commissioning taking place over these women to go into the nations. They were being SENT. Some were being sent in prayer. Some were being sent physically. Some were being sent in media.
The anointing that they had received from the Lord was so different that anything that had been seen on the earth before, and the divine strategy the Lord had given them firmly rooted in the Word of God as the key, were being sent out in various ways into the nations to bring HEALING to the nations in the proclamation and revelation of Jesus, His anointing and His wisdom.
ANOINTED WITH BOLDNESS
I then heard the Lord say:
“I am sending these daughters of mine forth anointed with a boldness they have never carried to proclaim My Word, to preach the Gospel and to see My Spirit bring forth healing in the earth that has never been seen before. They will stand not afraid of man or what may come to them, but they stand in the awe of who I am. They stand in reverence of who I am and the will boldly decree and preach and mighty waves of My healing anointing will be released into the earth. They will be known in the earth as reformers. The fire that tried to kill them, only formed them because I was with them in the fire and they go forth now to carry the fire of My presence and see a mighty healing revival wherever I send them. A spirit of fear in the areas where they were contending for healing almost killed them, but now I send them forth in boldness, My boldness, in the revelation of who I am, and they shall bring fear upon the enemy’s camp because of the revelation they carry of who I am and who I am in them.”
“The time has come for a scene shift. The scene shift of victory. The scene has shifted now to COMMISSION. These ones seek not fame or their name to be known, they lift up My name and My Glory shall be strongly upon them. These women will be written about in history because of their boldness and the anointing that flowed through their lives seeing signs, wonders and miracles that will draw the WORLD to Jesus. They will not only operate in a powerful healing anointing that has not seen seen before, but a heavy mantle of evangelism will also fall upon them as they see multitudes come to know Me.”
STADIUMS
The Lord showed me that there will be some daughters of God carrying this healing anointing that will be raised up by the hand of the Lord in this new era with incredible, astounding favour and because of their obedience and yielding to the Lord and communion with the Holy Spirit will be entrusted with much. There will be stadium events held in this new era where these daughters of God will minister, the stadiums filled and there will be thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of healings, signs, wonders and miracles and many will look and say ‘The days of Kathryn Kuhlman have returned’. It will be her ministry of unusual power as a type and shadow of what she fore-ran. There will be great similarities to the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman but it will not be a replica. It will be MORE than Kathryn Kuhlman saw. The manifest presence of God, the weight of His holiness, the holy hush and quietness in some of these stadiums as the weight of His Glory falls, will see the power of God displayed in ways we have never seen before. They will stand on those platforms not delighting in the thousands upon thousands that have come to their meetings, but there will be only One in the room that their eyes are on. They will be focused on Him, their gaze locked with His. Communing with the Holy Spirit and dancing with Him in His heartbeat and rhythm for what He is doing. The world, the media, the nations, will pay attention as it is reported far and wide what the Lord is doing.
And the greatest part about it is…
It will be all for His Glory!

Editorial Note: Devotional: Nita Johnson : The Light (B)
I have been discussing the fact that Jesus is Light. What He is doing in our midst at this moment is lifting an army, if you will, an “Army of Light.” It is just that His plans are so wonderful, so much bigger, so much greater and so much grander than anything that we could possibly imagine in our natural minds! Truly, His Word speaks to us when it says that His thoughts are not our thoughts. We do not really understand; His plans for us are beyond our ability to comprehend. It is just so exciting! I think it is one of the most exciting times to be alive in His Kingdom in the earth.
In the heart of the Lord, this “Army of Light” is going to eclipse everything else that has ever been demonstrated by God Himself! So, I just think that since we could not be up on the mountain with Moses and we could not be at Pentecost when it was given to us, thank the Lord that we can be at this one!
When the Lord opens up something like this to me, accompanied by what is called a Spirit of Stimulation, it so stimulates my spirit with divine energy, you might say, to enable me to go after the thing and to endure whatever I would have to endure to appropriate it, because whatever He gives to me is for the Church! It is not that He thinks that I am such a good kid that He wants to do all these magnificent things for me—that is not the case at all. I am no better than anybody else, but He wants to bring the Church in, and He uses vessels to do that, and so what I am going to share with you is what I have been learning over a period of years. However, over the last few months He has been bringing things front and center to me and bringing new revelation of old visitations, aligning it with His Word so that we can all understand what He is about to do.
So when you go into prayer over this, tell yourself, “THIS IS NOT ONLY FOR THE PROPHET NITA. THIS IS FOR ANY WHO WILL.” And that is how He says it, because really, it is for those who are willing to pay the price to go after the thing and make it their own!
So having said that, let me just say this: This is of such a nature that really I believe that there is not a Christian alive, even in Heaven, who can desire what is about to be released more than the Lord. He wants this for us so badly! This is the reason He is recreating us so that we can be vessels of light and bring forth the glory of God into the earth in a way that has never been seen before.
Now, it is very hard for us to compare things with the mountain-top experience that Moses had in this, and the Jewish people at the bottom of the mountain, or the time of Pentecost. It is very hard for us, but God is preparing a Church today for those who are desiring that preparation! God is preparing this hour’s Church for Him to release the finest wine He has ever created for the earth! So, we are entering in on a very critical and wonderful time.
What does it mean that Christ is Light? Have we ever seen that manifestation of Christ? I would say that probably that very few in number have, but we can look at the Bible and see how the Lord took Peter, James and John up to the mountain and transfigured Himself on the Mount of Transfiguration. He transfigured Himself so that we could see the Last Days Church! He was showing the disciples that had seen Him only in His humanity. He was showing them, you might say, “the other side of Him,” but it was also a message to the Church, way down the line, that there was a transcendence that was going to come to the Church that would reveal Heaven on Earth.
To be continued next week…
In Him,
Nita Johnson

Pray for The U.S.A.: Fighting the New Coronavirus – “Enter Into A National Emergency”
【Current events: At 3:00 pm on Friday, March 13, 2020, President Trump held a press conference at the White House Rose Garden, announcing that the United States has entered a “National Emergency” due to the pandemic of new Coronavirus. This decision was made in response to the new Coronavirus outbreak.
President Trump later announced this Sunday (March 15) as National Prayer Day on Twitter. He pointed out, “Whenever major moments of disaster and national emergencies occur, the U.S. government, military, community, and people will come to God to seek His will, wisdom, help, and strategies. This is the United States! More than two hundred years of history It has n’t changed, and it ’s no different today. ”President Trump chose to do one of the most appropriate things—to lead the American people to look to God and cry out to Him.
When the United States entered a “national emergency,” the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives rushed overnight to work out the anti-epidemic measures. It is also rare for the White House to abandon the party’s own agenda to please the voters. Once again, the two parties worked together like during Pearl Harbor, and finally defeated the war situation between Japan, Germany and Fascism. Immediately, the stock market soared by nearly 2,000 points. The implementation of the national defense emergency bill immediately made the lazy, scattered bureaucracy system seamlessly connect with the highly effective market mechanism. Trump immediately handled 136 special bills that were not subject to Congress, and a budget of nearly $ 50 billion, which mainly included the transfer of production methods, the control of enterprise operations, martial law, and the use of troops. The return of the manufacturing industry and supply chain to the country is one of the cores. The monopoly of Saudi Arabia’s 30 US dollars a barrel of crude oil (several millions of tons has already set sail) is a strategic reserve to support European epidemic resistance and defeat the global plague within 2-3 months.
- Walmart, CVS, Walgreen, Target work together to ensure that everyone can quickly drive through special inspection points in their parking lots, and receive free tests. and to ensure that the supply chain for all types of goods is unobstructed.
- Lapcorp, Quest Diagnostic, the nation’s diagnostic agencies, once competitor but now worked together to increase testing intensity and speed.
- Home Care Industry and Signify Health join to ensure that people who need testing but can’t go to the inspection site in person will get timely on-site service.
- Roche, a large company, helps speed up testing 10 times.
- The Ministry of Health will simplify complicated bureaucratic regulations, for hospitalization, to ensure that patients receive treatment as soon as possible.
- Temporarily waive interest on federal loans for all college students.
- Google’s 1,700 software engineers joined to establish a dedicated website where people can not only upload their symptoms at home, get timely information feedback, but also immediately find out where the most convenient test can be done.
- Free lunch for children from low-income families is not cancelled due to school closures. Instead, people (or robots) will deliver lunch to home, this is more human.
- The elderly with the highest mortality rates receive the best protection and the fastest care. Voluntary isolation and work from home rather than going in and out as usual
- Comcast Networks provides low-income families with 60 days of free Internet access, which guarantees that children from low-income families can attend classes at home.
In addition, “Remdesivir” the only effective WHO approved CVIP-19 drug used to treat Ebola virus treatment was effective in Japan. Fourteen elderly people with an average age of 75 years were severely hospitalized and critically ill. Two weeks after using Remdesivir, none died and more than half were cured. It is hoped that these measures to overcome the epidemic will be effective within one month.
Other measures that President Trump and Congress have taken include:
- A $ 8.3 billion emergency appropriation bill was passed to specifically fund state and local governments to improve the capacity of hospitals and health centers to handle suspected cases of New Coronavirus.

Pray for Israel: Pray for the Return of Jewish People (Aliyah)
【Background:According to Israeli news, all passengers landing in Israel must be quarantined for 14 days due to the coronavirus. Hundreds of flights to Israel have been cancelled. El Al, an Israeli carrier, has shut down 80% of its employees without pay. The land of Israel is no longer open to the world.
Many tourists who have planned to travel to Israel, during the upcoming Passover and Easter festivals, have found the quarantine restrictions very inconvenient and even expensive. In addition, thousands of Jews who would have come to Israel during the Passover, can not make the trip due to the restrictions.
Rabbi Kahana used this situation to warn the Jews scattered overseas, he said, “With the establishment of the State of Israel, God, with his eternal mercy, opened the door to a large-scale Aliyah after nearly 2000. However, over 70 years have passed, many Jews living in rich western countries have not heed the divine call and ignored Hashem’s goodness.”
He concluded: “God will not punish people without warning them in advance. The anti-Semitic event is the first warning. The current restrictions to enter Israel is the second warning. I am afraid when the third warning comes, it will be too late! 】
(Excerpted from the Star of Light Israel Media: “A Rabbi Warns: Coronavirus shuts down Israel; if global Jews do not heed the warning, they may miss their last chance! “)
Critical Events: Middle East Conflict Resumes, Syrian Border Flooded With Millions Of Refugees
【Current Affairs: The 9-year bloody Syrian civil war has once again caused a major conflict in the northern Syrian battlefield. In order to annihilate the last base of the Resistance in the northern border of Idlib Province, the Syrian government of Assad has repeatedly bombed Turkey’s “buffer station outpost” in northern Syria. On 2/27, at least 33 Turkish troops were killed in a Syrian-backed Syrian air raid, killing the Turkish army the worst since it intervened in the Syrian conflict in 2016. Concerns emerged from the direct conflict between Turkey and Turkey. So far in 2020, about 300 civilians have died in Idlib and Aleppo provinces in Syria. The situation is still worsening and the people have suffered the most.
Turkish-Russian tensions rise as European refugee crisis emerges
At present, the Turkish Army has dispatched a large number of armored troops to enter northern Syria, and issued military orders and threatened to “face the decisive battle” with Syrian Assad troops before the end of February. Two Russian warships equipped with cruise missiles are reportedly sailing to Syria, and tensions have risen in Turkey and Russia. On 2/28, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conference to look after the crisis. At the same time, Turkey opened up refugee movements and assisted refugees to “go abroad.” The European refugee crisis had reappeared years ago. Greece and Bulgaria, which border Turkey, had strengthened border security.
The people who have suffered the most in the war are always the people
Under the flames of war, the people who will suffer most will always be the people. The United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Di Carlo, said that since early December last year, nearly 1 million people have been displaced, including 560,000 children. Most of them live in makeshift camps. Women and children are particularly at risk of violence and exploitation. Because of food insecurity, 6.5 million Syrians face hunger every day.
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed that at least 1,750 civilians have been killed since April last year. In the past two months alone, 351 civilians have been killed. The majority (94%) of these civilian deaths occurred in opposition-controlled areas, were bombed by pro-government forces, and 6% occurred in government-controlled areas.

Pray for India Native Americans: Nagaland’s Calling And Destiny Of Mission
【Event: We published a Nagaland missionary, Husezo, sharing how God transformed Nagaland from a tribe of headhunters into a 99% Christian. We recently received a letter from Husezo asking us to pray again for Nagrand and his personal destiny.
The following is a letter from Husezo:
Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019: This Act was passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019 to provide citizenship to people from countries outside India who were of other religions, excluding Muslims.
Since the ruling government is pro Hindu and against all other religions, this act actually divided the country along religious lines and was passed to protect illegal Hindus from other countries in India. Along with the National Register of Citizens (NRC), it is being used to render so many Muslims of India stateless and this has led to so many protests, riots, and loss of life and property. The northeast states of India (where my state Nagaland is located) were some of the worst-hit and the students protesting at universities were brutally suppressed by the police. In the northeast, 30 people have died during protests, 175 were arrested and more than 1400 detained due to this act.
In Delhi (capital of India), the Hindu community have taken arms against the Muslims over the CAA issue and destroyed 79 houses and 327 shops of the Muslims; so far, 46 bodies have been recovered and 200 have been injured here. The central government is encouraging the violence against Muslims and the Prime Minister is turning a deaf ear. Even the United Nations Commissioner has moved the Indian Supreme Court over the CAA, but has been shut out by the government citing it as an ‘internal matter.’ construction of concentration camps have started in North-east India for anyone who is against the Gov. The government has also started the construction of concentration camps have started in Assam, north-east India for anyone who is against the Government.
Please pray that as India goes through this difficult time of internal violence, God will use the Christians, especially the Naga Christians to minister to the Indian people and lead them to Christ. This winter I was able to go to India and minister at various places in Delhi, Assam , and Nagaland. To my surprise when I went for ministry, I was so encouraged to witness great zeal among the believers when they told me this is the golden opportunity for us to share the gospel and show compassion with the unbelievers, especially with the Muslims. I was also able to share the Gospel with a Muslim man and he was so fascinated by how Christians love the Muslim brothers and sisters. He promised to read the Bible and Quran to find the Truth. Pray that during his queries and confusion, God will speak to him directly through visions and dreams.
This time of turmoil has united the citizens against the government’s discrimination based on religion and for the first time in History especially in North-east India all the religion is coming together against the government. Pray that the Christians will use it as an opportunity to do mission work among their neighbors. As the Muslims are facing the most problems, pray that we can reach out to them with compassion and wisdom and share the gospel with them. Pray for Christian unity and miraculous breakthroughs in mission.
Special prayer for the call in my life and for my seminary training as I pray and prepare myself for the ministry ahead of me. God has open the way for me to be able to stay for another program i.e Master of Arts in Global Leadership (This program is designed for training focussing on global leadership, Business as mission in partner with Lussane conference which was started by Billy Graham and John Stott). I believe I can finish it by a year or a half if I can transfer some of my credits. This is a very essential program that will really train and equipped me for the ministry I am called to.
The total credits for the program are 36 credit hours which was a huge blessing as they reduced from 48. One course consists of 3 credits which cost Per credit hour. 700$ i.e Per course (3 credits). 2100$. I have received a scholarship of 525$ per course. So, in total, the tuition costs after my scholarship will be 18,900$. I am hoping some of my credits can be transferred so that will reduce time and money. I have a rough target to raise funds for my tuition costs i.e between 15000$- 18,900$. Other living expenses will also be needed for my housing and monthly needs, but tuition is my main concern now. I need to raise it until the 2nd Week of April to decide whether I can stay, or I have to leave the country.
