Editorial Special Section: Caleb Chao: Father and Son With One Heart, Two Generations Walk Together

Info: Caleb Chao Date: August 2023 Source : Homecoming Team Audio

Editor’s note : Caleb Zhao (Caleb) is the son of Papa Gideon, the father of the global homecoming team. He has been walking with his parents of the Homecoming team, and he has inherited many properties and anointing of the Kingdom of God, and he has great spiritual insight. This article is one of the homecoming gatherings in Hong Kong this year. Caleb was invited at the last minute to summarize the fresh revelation released and the key to how two generations can walk together. It was translated by a Chinese family and widely circulated. We publish this information here to share with all intercessors.

The Manifestation of God’s Power Depends on the Family

I didn’t expect so many second generation pastor’s children here. It is nothing short of a miracle that you are here. I believe there is a homing signal operating ,because what the Lord is doing, is with the family, and it has to start with our own family. I believe it is His grace that carries us, and I also believe that there is God’s great wisdom in this.

【 Background on Current Events: I have intentionally not spoken much about this up to now, in order to stay focused on the instructions given in the “commanding the foreword” dream. However, I have been giving much thought to the subject, knowing that at some point, I would need to address it. Things of this nature are not something I enjoy talking about – most spiritual leaders are reticent to speak of warnings such as this, and appropriately so. We don’t want to be alarmists or create fear in people. But today, I want to address this approaching storm.…Detailed Reading】

• Hebrews 12:26-27 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
• James 1:5   If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.

【Prayer】

• In the Face of The Coming Storm : Rise up, Father, and scatter Your enemies, and let those who hate You flee from before You, (Psalm 68:1) but redeem thousands whose consciences are not yet extinguished prodigal son. Unleash the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that Your children understand that the shaking of this coming storm is meant to save America and help us to prepare and not panic. Let us remain strong in the storm, full of confidence and courage, firmly rely on You, closely follow the Holy Spirit, receive wise strategies and instructions, lead the United States to fully return to You, and carry out Your call and will for the United States.
• We Declare in The Name of Jesus Christ :
  • The powers of darkness in America will be destroyed and the root of evil must be rooted out.

  • People in the United States are waking up and turning back to God.

Pray for Israel: (15) God’s Love for Jerusalem

Editor’s note : The series of prayers in “Isaiah 62 Prayer” was written by Sandra Teplinsky, one of the founders and directors of Light of Zion in 2023. This year is to complement the excellent devotional prayer handbook “God’s Heart for Israel” published by IHOP-KC, Kansas, Missouri. In 2023, IHOP-KC initiates a 21-day global fast and prayer according to Isaiah 62 and recommends participants to use this prayer booklet. We will publish the prayers in it every week in the future.

【Current event: As a prayer leader of Messianic Jewish believers in Jerusalem, Israel, it is very valuable to be able to supplement the handbook “God’s Heart for Israel”, especially for Israeli intercessors who participated in the 21-day fast. It is the main reason why I wrote “Isaiah 62-Praying for Israel” (hereinafter referred to as “Isaiah 62 Prayer”), and I also hope to help those who have been praying for Israel for many years but do not live in Israel and are not Jewish intercessor.....Detailed Reading】

• Isaiah 62:1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn,  her salvation like a blazing torch.
  

【Prayer】

God of Israel, You have sovereignly chosen to set Your Name YHVH — Your very identity and divine character –in Jerusalem (1 Kings 5:5, 8:20, 29). There You will dwell in glory, reigning over the earth. Until that day when You establish Your resting place in Jerusalem, I will not rest before You. 

As You urge Your people to do, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I ask You to reveal Yourself as Prince of Peace to the Jews, Arabs and foreigners who even now earnestly seek Your face in Jerusalem. Captivate their hearts with the beauty of Your shalom, the fullness and wholeness of restored spirit and soul. Usher them into the peace of Your salvation. 

Mercifully shield the city physically from all violent assault. Guard those assigned to guard Jerusalem. I ask You to post angelic peace keepers in the streets of Jerusalem. Reveal and thwart terror attacks, planned daily by those posturing themselves against You. As nations prey for the piece of Jerusalem, do not allow their plans to divide her to succeed. 

I pray for Messianic Jewish, Arab Christian and other brothers and sisters from the nations whom You have called to live or serve in Jerusalem. Daily fill and refill them with Your Spirit; immerse them in Your boundless, intimate love; be a protection of peace about them; and equip them for fruitful ministry. 

Yeshua, as Jerusalem goes through shaking upon shaking before Your return, be a wall of fire around her. As the city shakes, forgive me for any unconfessed critical or otherwise wrongful attitude I have harbored toward her on account of those in governing authority in Jerusalem. Do not let my love grow cold for Your city. According to Your Word, I bless and pray for all those in authority in Jerusalem. 

Maintain or raise up the authorities in Jerusalem whom You desire to govern Israel for Your end times purposes. Protect each one and grant them the gift of the fear of the Lord, for it is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Mercifully give them grace to turn in full surrender to You. 

 I acknowledge, O God, that to pray for Jerusalem’s sake is to pray for Your sake. You are the One who has placed Your Name within her. You are the One who has chosen her in infinite love. You are the One yearning to establish the rule and reign of Yeshua within her, merging heaven and earth in Jerusalem, to Your glorious delight. 

Thank You, Lord God, for the privilege of praying for the desires of Your heart. 

In the name of Jesus, amen!

Critical Event: Fatherhood Ignited in Africa

[Background: Sudanese pastor Wagdi responded to the Lord’s call. On July 8th, he will go to Egypt alone to serve the Sudanese refugees who fled there, and rescue his nephew and niece who are fleeing. Here are the latest prayer messages from him:...Detailed Reading】

• Mal 3:1 a  The LORD of hosts says, “I will send my angel to prepare the way before me.”
• Mal 4:5-6   Behold! Before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, and he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of their children to their fathers, lest I come and curse the earth.

【Prayer】

• Impart the Father’s Heart : Heavenly Father, Wagdi has a father’s heart, he is the father of Sultan, and he will be the father of Africa in the near future! This is his destiny – he is to lead many sons and daughters back to their true father’s house. What he did in Sudan, he will do in the nations of Africa. Not only did he do it himself, but he also raised up many fathers and mothers, raised up many spiritual families, and took the Sudan and the lonely and helpless people on the land of Africa into his arms and brought them back to the home of the heavenly father. Wagdi said that he [had put life and death aside] and put only God’s concerns first. Here, we wish him the success of imparting the heart of fatherhood to African countries, reversing the curses of Africa, and becoming a home where the heavenly Father lives happily.
• Successors to the Kingdom of God : Heavenly Father, thank You for miraculously preserving Wagdi’s nephews and nieces. Wagdi wants them to stay with him and receive spiritual equipment. Yes, Father God, Your family inheritance needs successors – there is no delay in bringing up the next generation. They are witnessing the older generation spreading love and embracing destiny. In the future, they will become the mainstay of the Kingdom of God. We declare in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be an heir to the kingdom of God! 

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Editorial Special Section: GZI: Bringing the King to Your Field

Information:  Glory of Zion International  Date: August 20, 2023

Editor’s note : This prophecy was released by Chuck Pierce and Keith Pierce at Glory of Zion International (GZI).

• Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace  those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
• 2 Samuel 6:6-7 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.  The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.
• Deuteronomy 32:2 Let my teaching fall like rain  and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass,  like abundant rain on tender plants.

Chuck said in an email sent on August 21 that God’s goal for you in the month of Elul is to come and seek His face and His blessings. He is looking for someone with a heart to meet the King in the field. God wants you to long for His presence and to receive His favor. Not only does He want to appear to you, He also wants to reveal Himself through you. By being a servant, being a blessing, being faithful, receiving His blessings and expressing His creativity. You bring kings into your field. I declare that you will receive supernatural revelation and wisdom to help you bring the King into your field.

I send you in Elul to do what He wants you to do with new authority and experience His Season of Favor. I am so thankful to ask how God has arranged for us to move forward in the fulfillment of His will, and here are some of the revelations released through this prophetic portal during the August 20th celebration:

Let the Lord guide your steps this month as you experience His presence and favor. You have been in a complicated season and things seem complicated around you but I am going to show you this month and tell you how to manage what you have to deal with. If you ask me I will Show you how things end. You have been staring at the beginning and the middle of things, but let me show you the ending, and then you will have to correct the beginning, rework the middle, and end up in a better position than ever before.

I am breaking the order of the ox carts, I am overthrowing Eli’s family, Eli’s sons, even the Philistines and Uzzah who do not understand MY order. The bullock carts are turning because the order of My Presence is being formed and the priesthood is being called to this temple. You will see the Ark of MY Presence being welcomed in. When it is welcomed in, the city will rejoice and the heat will be broken. Don’t go back and touch what I am leading forward, let it manifest the way I am leading.

Today is the day to pay off your debts and present yourself in a glory you have never seen before. Don’t look back, but hold on tight, follow and watch Me work for you. I am bringing a weather pattern from California that understands MY NAME. I have changed the time course of California, I am starting from the south and going north. I am reshaping, renewing and restoring what was lost yesterday to present tomorrow’s future.

Don’t be afraid of the rain, don’t be afraid of the flood, don’t be afraid of the storm, because when it’s all over, you’ll see the rainbow California has been longing for. I’m going to surprise Sacramento , and I’m going to act in a way that surprises them. I will come in through the back door and open a new door, and what flows out of the back door will be replaced by what I channeled in.

I will transform the land of Oklahoma into a place of rapid flow. What was lost in the past will emerge from the water, and the food thrown into the waves will come back to you. Look north as I’m about to start raining in Oklahoma. I’m going to start watering My tribe, watering My Native reservation. The rivers in Oklahoma will fill up again, and many will go there for renewal.

Houston , get ready, I’m building fire under you too, things are going to start churning in ways that make new paths.

Editorial Special Section: Gina Golston: Dreams of the Fire of Revival

Message: Gina Gholston Dates: August 21-24, 2023  Source : “Give Him 15 Minutes”

Editor’s note : This is an excerpt from the “Give Him 15 Minutes” post about the dream chain that reignites the fire of revival and how America’s intercessors obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. We have compiled them here specifically for future reference.

Red River Meeting House

“On January 14, 2020, I dreamed I was at the Red River Meeting House in Adairville, Kentucky. I had gone through the gate and started walking up the driveway toward the Meeting House, when I noticed 100 bald eagles on the grounds. I was captivated by the sight of so many eagles.

“Hearing a noise behind me, I turned and saw an older well-drilling rig coming through the gate toward the Meeting House. It stopped about halfway up the driveway and parked under the walnut trees; it then began drilling. No sooner had the bit been set when, whoosh, the water gushed out in very high, massive amounts!

“I thought, ‘This looks like Old Faithful.’ I have seen Old Faithful, and this reminded me of that famous geyser, only it was MUCH larger! In the dream, I thought about how Old Faithful is very predictable and it erupts in a rhythm of time. Then I heard an audible voice speaking about this geyser ‘It is set on the rhythm of Heaven’s time clock. And it’s time!’ (In the dream I understood that to mean, ‘It’s blown before, a gushing move of the Spirit of God, but it’s set for another, greater gusher! And it’s time!’)

“Next, I saw two hands come down and clap one time. It was a very loud sound which was a signal to the eagles. They weren’t scared by the noise of the clap or by the spraying of the water; they calmly rose up, hovering like a helicopter, ready to fly. As they rose, I saw that each eagle had 3 arrows in one of their talons and a rolled-up paper in the other. Then I heard the same audible voice say, ‘Rapid eye movement: My seers are on the move.’

“As soon as I heard those words, the eagles flew off in every direction, each heading purposefully toward their assignment. As they left, each one flew through the supernatural water, becoming drenched. Incredibly, their feathers never dried as they flew. Wherever they traveled, the water would fall off of them – like a rain shower – onto the dry ground where they flew.

“Back at the Red River Meeting House, the water continued gushing and I also became soaked with it. I went into the Meeting House, which I realized had been set up to be a command center. There were seven drafting tables with ‘architects’ sitting at them, drawing up blueprints, plans, strategies, revelations. People were coming in, one after the other, soaked with the water from the geyser. They would approach one of the architects, who would roll up a set of plans and hand it to them. Immediately, the architects had another one drawn up and would hand it off to the next soaked person walking in. I was amazed at the speed with which the architects worked: draw it, roll it up, hand it off; draw it, roll it up, hand it off! This sequence didn’t stop.

“When the people received their blueprints, they were supernaturally transported to their assignments in America and around the world. And just as occurred with the eagles, the revival water soaking them was being flung onto people everywhere they went. I heard the audible voice again saying, ‘Rapid Response Teams.’ Then I noticed a sign on the wall behind the pulpit that read, ‘Rapid Response Command Center.’

“Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I knew by the Spirit that what was happening at the Red River Meeting House was also taking place at Cane Ridge, Kentucky, and Azusa Street in California! I was then lifted up and could see a line running north and south, connecting Cane Ridge and the Red River Meeting House. Another line from each of them went west to Azusa. I could see that these lines formed the shape of a spearhead. From the line drawn between Cane Ridge and the Red River Meeting House was yet another, coming from the nation of Wales to the east. It was forming the shaft of the spear.

“This picture was depicting that all four of those places—Wales, Cane Ridge, Red River Meeting House, and Azusa—were connected; and also that what I saw happening at Red River was simultaneously happening at all of them. I was being shown that all of those past moves of God were now being brought together to ‘spearhead’ another greater and more powerful move of God in our time.”

Spear of Revival

( Editor’s Note : In 2020, shortly after Gina received the dream of the Red River Meeting House, she saw a thread in her spirit that connected the past four great revivals. The line ran from the Red River Meeting House to Cane Ridge , and from these two places westward to Azusa Street. These three lines form a spearhead. Then, a line extends eastward from the spearhead all the way to Wales, forming the spear shaft. Together these lines form a complete spear. In the following dream, Gina sees this “spear” again.)

“As I looked at this, the spearhead instantly lit on fire. When that happened, the entire spear began to spin counterclockwise. The spinning was slow at first, but gained speed with each spin, going faster and faster. As it was spinning, it began to tilt upward…still spinning…until it was standing vertically…the spearhead blazing with fire. Once the spear stood vertical, it was lifted up and thrust forcefully back down into the ground – into the center of the U.S.

“When the spearhead went into the ground, it created swell after swell of what I first thought were waves of water. It was not water, however; it was people. These people were burning with the fire of revival, wave after wave of them, moving outward in all directions from the standing spear.”

Flying Eagle Unleashes the Fire of Revival

(February 2, 2021)

“I dreamed I was standing with someone I did not know on a deck-like structure in the heavens. From this place, we were looking down, observing the United States of America. Though I did not know who the man was, I could feel a strong anointing coming from him. This anointing was causing me to have an indescribable hope for the nation!

“As we were looking down, we saw what first appeared to be warplanes flying over the United States. The gentleman said to me, ‘Oh my, I wonder what is happening in America? What do all these warplanes mean?’ He said this, not with concern, but almost as though he was wanting me to see something that wasn’t obvious. He looked at me as if I should know the right answer to his questions.

“I did know the answer to this one. ‘Those are not warplanes; those are eagles!’ I replied. ‘I have seen them before in a dream. There are 100 of them, and they’re carrying water from the reopened well of revival at the Red River Meeting House. The well has been unlocked and is now gushing forth into the nation.’

“I could clearly see that, just as in the previous dream, the eagles were carrying arrows in one of their talons and a rolled-up piece of paper in the other. Also, they were still wet and dripping water from the geyser that drenched them at the Red River Meeting House.

“As the eagles flew throughout America, they all simultaneously began diving. When nearing the ground, they leveled off and began dropping their arrows into the land. I knew there were 100 eagles, each carrying three arrows; therefore, 300 arrows were released throughout America. As each arrow hit the ground, it ignited as though it had hit a gas pocket, and a spiraling plume of fire shot up. We watched as the water the eagles were releasing was also ignited by the fire! This ‘revival water’ from the Red River Meeting House was extremely flammable and instantly caught fire! It seemed as though all of America was on fire, the fire of revival.

“As the dream continued, I became VERY aware of the power and presence of God. It was so strong I fell to my knees and began to sob uncontrollably! The gentleman with me began speaking under an incredibly heavy anointing. (It was then that I noticed he had a very strong accent.) He said, ‘You have seen correctly! This is how America will be saved! Do NOT doubt it! There is coming a sweeping move of the Spirit of God that will ignite America with the fire of His presence. This will bring a swift, undeniable awareness of God and an awakening.

“‘What seems to be one thing, is about to be revealed as another,’ he continued. ‘Some are in fear because of how things appear, but others SEE – with holy awe and expectation! The eagles are on assignment. They carry ‘firepower;’ they carry His glory. At precisely the right moment, their arrows will be released, will hit their targets, and the move of God will ignite and spread very quickly!’ Then he said again, ‘Do NOT doubt it!’

“Still on my knees, I looked up at the man and suddenly knew he was Duncan Campbell, one of the leaders of the great Hebrides revival.”

( Editor’s Note :  About two months after this dream, Duck Schitz received from a priest 300 arrowheads that he found while praying in a field in eastern North Carolina. Felt the arrows were somehow connected to the 300 arrows in Gina’s two dreams.

After testing in August of this year (2023) , they believed that these dreams were related to the task of ” preface to the declaration ” they are currently doing , so they called representatives from 50 states to go to Cape Henry with 300 arrows on August 20 , where America made its covenant with God, together with Native representatives, proclaimed the Cape Henry Covenant – reconnecting America to the Foreword.

The next day (August 20th), they brought 300 arrowheads to the Red River Guild Hall, soaked them with the anointing there – the water of revival, as shown in the dream, and will One representative from each The leaders of the next states will listen to the declarations and prayers led by the Holy Spirit before September, so that all states will be “anchored” on the Cape Henry Covenant/Preamble and soaked in the water of revival.

We believe in completing these prophetic actions, the resulting synergy will grow and explosive capabilities will be unleashed across the United States and from here to the ends of the earth. )

SEE Exodus 23:20-31..!!

..So recently in a Prayer Meeting while we’re praying for the Region we will be going to this coming Weekend,…for our “Ireland Arise Shine Conference”,…

The lady who was leading us began to see and discern the activity of Angels surrounding us as we were praying for the Conference and for the Region,..when suddenly I saw an Angel standing in our midst,…and as I looked at the Angel of the Lord I heard these words,..”THE ANGEL OF EXODUS 23:20..!

    “God’s Angel to Prepare the Way”

20 “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. 21 Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him. 22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. 23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out. 24 Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces. 25 Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, 26 and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.

27 “I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. 28 I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.

31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,[b] and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you. 32 Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods. 33 Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you.”

Hallelujah…WE SAY LET IT BE SO,..IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME..!

Editorial Special Section: Caleb Chao: Father and Son With One Heart, Two Generations Walk Together

Info: Caleb Chao Date: August 2023 Source : Homecoming Team Audio

Editor’s note : Caleb Zhao (Caleb) is the son of Papa Gideon, the father of the global homecoming team. He has been walking with his parents of the Homecoming team, and he has inherited many properties and anointing of the Kingdom of God, and he has great spiritual insight. This article is one of the homecoming gatherings in Hong Kong this year. Caleb was invited at the last minute to summarize the fresh revelation released and the key to how two generations can walk together. It was translated by a Chinese family and widely circulated. We publish this information here to share with all intercessors.

The Manifestation of God’s Power Depends on the Family

I didn’t expect so many second generation pastor’s children here. It is nothing short of a miracle that you are here. I believe there is a homing signal operating ,because what the Lord is doing, is with the family, and it has to start with our own family. I believe it is His grace that carries us, and I also believe that there is God’s great wisdom in this.

As children of pastors, or second-generation believers in our families, some of us ask, ” Why should we be the sacrifice for someone else’s obedience ?”

Remember Abraham and Isaac? God said to Abraham, “I have a test. To this, Isaac could have asked, “Father, if you are going through a test, why am I a part of it?” There is a divine purpose. – to teach us how to walk together.

It is recorded in the Bible: “Abraham got up early in the morning…and he got up and went to the place God showed him.” (Genesis 22:3) It was because of his complete trust and obedience to God. This is also the inheritance left to us by our parents.

Looking at life, you may see Heavenly Father only doing cruel jobs, or as a Father who can solve all problems.

What does the name Abram mean? He is the “exalted father,” but he has no son. It sounds like a heartless joke. Not only that, but he was later renamed Abraham, which means “father of many nations.”

Do you know what the greatest gift (inheritance) Abraham left us? He trusts in a perfect (perfect) Father. Regardless of his circumstances, he accepted his promises wholeheartedly. However, he did not respond and follow alone. How did he do it? He invited his son to go “camping” with him.

He said to Isaac, “Come on, kid, go hiking with Daddy.” Isaac must have thought, “Wow! That’s great! Daddy finally has time for me! Because, you know what? My dad’s been busy all the time.” Serving the nations; this time it’s finally my turn to travel alone with Dad!”

So, they embarked on a hiking and camping journey together.
“Dad, what are we planning to do?”
“We are going to worship God.” “
Then what do we worship?”
“You don’t have to worry about this, you only need to be responsible for carrying the woods.”

Who else carried the wood for his own sacrifice? That is the Lord Jesus! He only does what He sees the Father does.

Learn to Trust Your Parents Absolutely

Therefore, as Isaac’s generation, we need to learn to trust our fathers absolutely, just as they absolutely obey God the Father.

By this time Isaac was old enough to carry a large bundle of firewood. So, I don’t think he’s just four or five years old, he’s old enough to carry a bundle of firewood that’s big enough for him to remember a little bit. How old do you think he is? He’s certainly not a baby; he’s at least a teenager. At this moment, he was carrying a pile of firewood that was about to burn himself as a sacrifice, and asked Abraham, “Dad, where is the sacrifice?”

According to the Bible, “Abraham bound his son Isaac, and put him on the wood on the altar” (Genesis 22:9).

What 14-year-old would let his father tie him up? Of course, most parents want to keep their children tied up at home: “Stop going out…stay home…stay in church…”

Invite Your Children to Travel with You

What you should do is: Invite your children to walk with you! “Come with me! Let’s walk together…” Don’t always try to keep your children at home. To tie them up at the right time, while their hearts are still soft. (At this moment, the audience burst into laughter)

The key is here. We are all familiar with the story: Isaac was lying on the altar, “Abraham stretched out his hand and took the sword to kill his son” (v. 10). At that moment, he heard a voice calling to him.

Question: Who heard this voice? Not only Abraham, but Isaac heard it too!

Why did Isaac need to be tied up? It is to let him be in the right place and hear the voice of God with his own ears!

What Isaac heard was God’s promise to his father; he began to realize “So I am part of God’s promise to my father. In fact, I am that promise! (He is the son of that promise!) If God is going to bless my father, he has to bless him through me. So, this is my inheritance. “

What Isaac passed on that day, I was the offering for the sacrifices, but “obedience is better than sacrifice.”

Obey the Voice You Hear Now

However, obedience consists not in obeying the voice I heard yesterday, but in obeying the voice I hear now! If Abraham had insisted on following the instructions he had heard yesterday, he would have killed Isaac by now. How many fathers have killed their own Isaacs by mistake because they insisted on obeying yesterday’s promise and did not value the word today!

Why did Isaac have such absolute obedience? It was because he saw God face to face with his father, and he saw the absolute obedience of his father Abraham.

We can trust our perfect Heavenly Father because He will not ask us to do anything He would not do himself. So we know that He is a perfect Father.

Sometimes I think their journey home is probably the most embarrassing journey home ever.

“Dad, I have to see a psychiatrist later, because I’m not sure about our relationship now.”

However, as Job experienced: when you meet God face to face, you find that He doesn’t need to answer any of your questions . Remember when Job had many, many questions to ask? However, when he met God, he took all the questions back.

Two Generations Meet God Together

I think, between our two generations, the best thing for us to feel is that we met God together. We thus bridge the gap between the two generations, which is much more cost-effective than seeing a psychiatrist.

Therefore, as parents, we need to create some journeys that we can take our children with: “As I embark on a journey of obedience to God, please follow me. Although I don’t know the outcome of this journey, I trust God completely.” Father; therefore I will obey him. Because he is a good God, he can help me to be kind to you.”

Too often, however, we have all found that people value sacrifice more than obedience. But today, God is inviting us to move forward with the wisdom to walk from generation to generation. How we respond will affect our next generation. How we respond to our Heavenly Father, and our spiritual fathers, will affect our children. They will learn from us.

When we embrace this realization, we realize that it’s not about me, it’s not about my sacrifice. Because we want the next generation to move forward freely, in perfect alignment, in God’s original purpose for creating the family.

Why did God send Elijah to the throne at that moment? Because on the eve of Elijah’s appointment, King Ahab came to the throne; during the reign of King Ahab, the city of Jericho was rebuilt. But Jericho is cursed: “Cursed is the man who rises up and rebuilds Jericho before the LORD: he will lose his firstborn when he lays its foundation, and his younger son when he installs its gates. ” (Joshua 6:26)

On that day, however, someone claimed, “I will build my own kingdom, even at the cost of my son.” When he was about to start work, he probably thought that curse was just someone else’s gibberish; yet , when he stretched out and began to lay the foundation, his elder son died. At that point, he could have stopped working; however, he decided to go ahead and when he laid the last brick, his younger son died.

This incident embodies the values ​​pursued by the world system-sacrificing the next generation to build its own kingdom; and this value has led to the greatest gap between the two generations. The kingdom of God values ​​inheritance, and this is what the world cares about. This is what I can do now to make a name for myself.

The Heart of The Father is Turned to The Children, And The Heart of The Children is Turned To The Father

It was in the context of the time of King Ahab that God sent the Spirit of Elijah, the Spirit of the Father. He said He would turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers, through the Spirit of Elijah. Because that’s the kingdom, and that’s what we’re contending for – we live for our next generation, with eternity in mind: to let every generation know that they are part of the Father’s promise.

“Through you, Abraham, I will bless the families.” (Genesis 12:3) I am a son, I am part of that promise, I am part of the answer. In fact, I was one of the answers to this test paper. We are all part of the answer to this test.

Are we starting to realize why sometimes I have to be the sacrifice of others obeying God? Because God has a higher plan. Sometimes we, like Jesus, feel like we are carrying our own wood, but I want to see what the Father is doing. I only do what I see the Father is doing, I want to say what I hear the Father is saying. I want to be a perfect son.

But do you know what one of Jesus’ many names is? Everlasting Father! He is the perfect example of both Father and Son in one person. We also don’t want to lose any of our identities. We need to know when to be a son and when to be a father. In this way, we can make the two generations walk together.

So, I believe that God is inviting us all to do only what we see the Father do, to be a perfect son. We need this wisdom and the safety to believe that those parents who walked before us were completely obeying God and were absolutely good parents.

Pray for America: Facing the Coming Storm

Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 8/24 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” by Intercession Leader Dutch Sheets . “I invite you to join me every day in prayer for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily 15 Minutes to Him, give a comment, and then we will pray together. As we stand for America” You can join us here as we go to Petition. – Dutch Sheets

【 Background on Current Events: I have intentionally not spoken much about this up to now, in order to stay focused on the instructions given in the “commanding the foreword” dream. However, I have been giving much thought to the subject, knowing that at some point, I would need to address it. Things of this nature are not something I enjoy talking about – most spiritual leaders are reticent to speak of warnings such as this, and appropriately so. We don’t want to be alarmists or create fear in people. But today, I want to address this approaching storm.

No one in my circle of prophetic friends knows exactly what the shaking will be. All of them have stated that while they believe this significant wave is coming, they also acknowledge that Holy Spirit has not revealed exactly what it is. Political? War? Terrorism? Civil unrest/violence? Financial? God seems to have determined not to reveal this, at least not yet. So, how do we prepare?

First of all, when God has chosen not to be specific, don’t speculate and/or make predictions. This only creates confusion. Holy Spirit tells us only what we need to know; we must accept this as wisdom on His part – He has His reasons.

Secondly, focus on what He HAS said. Everyone I am hearing from is stating emphatically that this is to deal with the evil and corruption in America, not destroy us. They are using words like reset, restore, rebuild, and reconnect (to God, purpose, destiny, our roots, etc.). No one whom I know is saying God is finished with America and that this will be our destruction. On the contrary, they are saying this is for America’s salvation. Focus on that, and the goodness of God.

At the same time, these leaders are also saying the upcoming shaking will be challenging and difficult. It is not a ripple we will move on from in a day or two, but a very significant storm. God has given America opportunities to turn back to Him for 30-plus years, which have been rejected. Evil has become very entrenched in our land. Many in our government are corrupt and serve only themselves and their plans, not the American people. We are very far off track in this regard. Some government agencies are corrupt, many government officials are corrupt, and many who control our nation from other positions (business, media, education, finance, etc.) are corrupt – and this corruption runs very deep.

Also, our nation has, in a general sense, rebelled from the ways and biblical principles upon which we were founded. For many, this has become more than ignorance and deception; it is now arrogant rebellion against God and His rule. They shake their fist in His face, mock Him and His Word, and openly defy Him. These rebels brag about their shedding of innocent blood, sell aborted babies’ body parts, traffic in children, divide people to hold onto power, allow suffering and destruction in order to further their purposes, celebrate violence, and war against truth. They now serve the father of lies, he who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (see John 10:10). The shaking must and will be intense.

Thirdly, do not allow yourself to be controlled or motivated by fear. Holy Spirit has said over and over regarding this, “Do not be afraid.” As we follow Him, He will take care of us. In the “commanding the foreword” dream, Jesus said to those gathered, “There is a shaking that is coming, but you must not fear! You must know and be convinced that this nation is anchored and surrounded. KNOW that! Be convinced of that!”

Pastor Randy Lopshire, without minimizing the size of the wave, encouraged us in his dream that, “As the water of this massive wave began to catch up with us, the effort of running (in front of it) became easier, and a sense of peace began to come into my heart. The more the water level of the wave caught up to us, and my body was in the depths of the water, the more I had the peace and assurance that ‘all was well.’ A certainty that this wave was FOR US and NOT for our destruction began to cause great faith to rise in my heart…In the end, we all rejoiced because what had first been seen as destruction, was actually restoration and reformation. There was no sense of ‘doom and gloom’ at all.”

Clay Nash shared from his tsunami dream, “Those that stood steadfast, seeing with eyes of faith and hearing with fine-tuned ears, used the tsunami to lift them to a higher platform of authority and purpose. They were released into a new flow of purpose that was secured by their willingness to trust God at this new level.

“The (spiritual) Generals began to give prophetic directives – prayer initiatives – that would secure inheritances and establish God’s original design for the nation.

“At the end of the dream, a plane flew over, pulling behind it a banner that read, ‘Look vertical, not horizontal, as answers are on the way.’

“The Generals began a time of praise for God’s faithfulness and goodness.”

Fourthly, you may want to consider some practical preparations. I am not speaking of selling your house and buying a ranch in the desert, or hoarding up food and supplies for the next year or two. But I think it is prudent – even apart from this warning – to have some supplies on hand to get through a few weeks of difficulty. A couple of months’ worth of canned food, water (or the ability to purify a natural source), cash on hand, medical supplies, etc. – these are all wise plans. I think of them as I do an insurance policy. We don’t intend to have a car accident, but we have insurance, as instructed, and as is wise. We have other forms of insurance, as well. This is not fear or unbelief; it is doing as Joseph did in Egypt: preparing for a future season of potential difficulty. Biblical wisdom teaches us to prepare for the future. If it turns out that these supplies are not needed, they can be used later.

In conclusion, I want to emphasize that I am well aware of our humanness; we all know in part, and prophesy in part. None of us are infallible. But I would rather warn people of what I believe is coming – endeavoring to do so with wisdom and faith – and it turn out to be wrong, than not warn them and it turn out to be true.

Pray for America: Epoch-Making Revival

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from the 8/15 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” by Intercession Leader Dutch Sheets . “I invite you to join me every day in prayer for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily 15 Minutes to Him, give a comment, and then we will pray together. As we stand for America” Day Petition, you can join us here. – Dutch Sheets

【 Background on Current Events: One of my favorite verses on revival is Acts 3:19: “Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.”

As is often the case, our English translation doesn’t fully convey the Greek content. The phrase “times of refreshing“ is loaded with meaning. “Times“ is translated from the word kairos, which means “opportune time.”(1)

Wuest, a very literal translation of the New Testament, uses the following phrases to translate kairos: “epoch-making periods” (see Acts 3:19); “strategic, significant period” (see Acts 12:1); “strategic, epochal time” (see Acts 19:23). Using his words, kairos times are strategic, significant and epoch-making. America must experience an “epoch-making” revival. (2)

I looked up the term “epoch-making” to make sure I understood it. It means “significant by virtue of ensuing historical developments.”(3) Epoch means “a period of time characterized by momentous events or changes,”(4) and “a fixed point of time from which succeeding years are numbered.”(5)

That’s what we’re after – momentous events and changes. A revival so great it is historical, one from which succeeding years are numbered. We sometimes speak of floods as epoch-making and historical. The year is remembered, like the Johnstown Flood of 1889 or the Big Thompson Canyon (Colorado) Flood of 1976. The size of the flood is measured by how often one of that proportion comes: a 50-year flood or a 100-year flood. We want a flood of the river of God so great that people will speak of it the way they speak of physical floods…a revival of such monumental proportions that it is epoch-making. Historical.

BREATHE ON US, O GOD!

The word “refreshing” in Acts 3:19 is important. It is translated from the word anapsuxis, from ana and psucho. Strong’s Concordance says ana means “repetition, intensity or reversal.”(6) Zodhiates agrees, adding the word “increase.”(7) Psucho means “to breathe, blow or refresh with cool air.”(8)

Here are some definitions of the two words ana and psucho combined (anapsucho or anapsuxis)

• “to draw breath again”
• “to revive by fresh air”(9)
• “to cool or refresh with a breath”
• “to regain strength”
• “Restoration”(10)

In this verse, Peter is saying that if we respond properly to the Holy Spirit, it will create a kairos time for God to breathe on us again; to revive us with a fresh breath; to restore us, giving us new strength.

I also like the concept of intensity in ana. God wants to breathe on us again intensely. Peter was apparently thinking back a few days to Pentecost when the breath of God blew again intensely, once more filling humans with the life of God.

In Ezekiel 37:1-14, the dry bones represent spiritual death. First, God caused them to come together, reconnecting; then He put skin on them, “but there was no breath in them” (v. 8). The prophet was then told, “Prophesy to the breath . .. say to the breath, ‘Thus says the LORD GOD, Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life’” (v. 9).

This is what occurred in Genesis 2:7: God breathed into Adam’s lifeless body and brought His life to it. In Acts 3, Peter thought back through history – Genesis, Ezekiel, Pentecost – and prophesied that it could happen again if the people would obey the Holy Spirit.

It did, and has happened since on numerous occasions. God wants to do it yet again! He has another breath – another wind – to blow on our generation and wants to release it with great intensity.

BUY THE OPPORTUNITY!

We must seize the moment. Twice the New Testament tells us to “redeem the time” (see Ephesians 5:15-17; Colossians 4:5, KJV). “To redeem” is translated from exagorazo, meaning “buy or purchase,” and “time” is kairos – buy the opportune, epoch-making time.(11)

Indeed, opportunities must be bought; they cost something – time, energy, abilities, money, and even our very lives. If we don’t spend what is necessary and “buy” them, opportunities can be lost.

“When Apple Computer fell on difficult days, Apple’s young chairman, Steven Jobs, traveled from the Silicon Valley to New York City. His purpose was to convince Pepsico’s John Sculley to move west and run his struggling company.

“As the two men overlooked the Manhattan skyline from Sculley’s penthouse office, the Pepsi executive started to decline Jobs’s offer.

“‘Financially,’ Sculley said, ‘you’d have to give me a million-dollar salary, a million-dollar bonus, and a million-dollar severance.’

“Flabbergasted, Jobs gulped and agreed – if Sculley would move to California. But Sculley would commit only to being a consultant from New York. At that, Jobs issued a challenge to Sculley: ‘Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want to change the world?’

“In his autobiography Odyssey, Sculley admits Jobs’s challenge ‘knocked the wind out of me.’ He said he’d become so caught up with his future at Pepsi, his pension, and whether his family could adapt to life in California, that an opportunity to ‘change the world’ nearly passed him by. Instead, he put his life in perspective and went to Apple.”(12)

We must not miss our opportunity to change the world! Let’s pay the price and buy it!

SEEK VISION FOR THE HARVEST

Allow God to birth vision in you, vision that will motivate you to faith and action. Vision is a life-changer, a rearranger, a cause producer. Its hunger can be insatiable, a motivating force creating energy and energizing creativity.

Vision moves us from mere mental assent to physical exertion. It separates the hearer from the doer, the convert from the disciple, mediocrity from excellence. Vision is also what separates a ripe harvest from a reaped harvest (see Matthew 9:37).

I remember hearing Wayne Myers, a well-respected missionary from Mexico, speak for three straight nights at the first missions conference I ever attended. I was single at the time, still living at home, 22 years old. After listening to him the first night, I gave a third of my bank account to the missions program of the hosting church. The second night I gave the next third. You guessed it: the last night I gave the rest. If there had been a fourth night, I’d have been walking home – they’d have gotten my car!

There was no manipulation; this giant of the faith didn’t make me give the money. No one twisted my arm. What happened? Some of the all-consuming vision he had for reaching the world with the gospel was supernaturally imparted to me, and I bought the opportunity. I’ve given to missions ever since.

I remember when vision came to me to reach out to those devastated by pain and suffering. It was February 10, 1976. The country was Guatemala, the village was San Pedro, and the setting was a food line. I was serving soup to hungry women and children who had lost everything the previous week in an earthquake that killed 30,000 people and left one million homeless. I vividly recall ladling out the soup into cans, bottles, jars (whole or broken), and whatever else they could find to hold a little soup. I also remember looking at the last lady in line, a mother holding her two-year-old child – who likely hadn’t eaten in days – and telling her there was “no mas” (“no more”).

Things got all messed up in my life at that moment! I could no longer look the other way and pretend not to see the needs of suffering humanity. I had looked into hungry eyes … hopeless eyes … haunting eyes. And vision was born, plans had to be changed, spending habits altered, priorities rearranged. Things have never been the same since.

Let’s ask God to increase vision and passion for a historical, epoch-making revival. Let’s ask for hearts that are willing to seize the moment, and buy the opportunity.

• Ezekiel 37:9  Prophesy, prophesy to the wind, “Thus says the Sovereign LORD, O breath, come from the four quarters, and blow upon these slain, and give them life”
• Matthew 9:37  Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
• Acts 3:19 Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, and that day of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord
