As Steve Thompson related in one of our leadership team meetings, there have been scientific studies made which indicate that the way that we are born can affect our whole lives. One example that was given is a procedure developed called “drug them and tug them,” which was to drug the mother and tug the baby out. That generation became the one that turned to drug use in mass. Drugs are used as an escape from the pains of life.

Pray for America: Turning the Tide of History

Editor’s Note: Editor’s Note: This article is based on the “Give Him 15 Minutes” post published on April 19 by Intercessor Leader Dutch Sheet.

【Current Affairs Background:  There is an obvious diversity of thought in the body of Christ regarding the future of America and, indeed, the world. Some believers hold no hope for a great, worldwide revival. There are various reasons for this. One of them is due to an eschatological view that there will be an across the board, worldwide increase of evil and deterioration of righteousness, including within the Church. In their thinking, a pre-tribulation rapture of the church is the only thing that can and will save us. Others do not see a revival and turnaround in America simply because of the degree and depth of our sin, compounded by the fact that more Americans aren’t repenting of and turning from our evil ways. (I write of my feelings toward this in my book, An Appeal To Heaven.) They also would point to the continued trending toward darkness by so many. This thinking that America is heading toward destruction has recently been confirmed in their minds by recent dreams and prophecies warning of America’s judgment and destruction. ...Detailed Reading】

• Hebrews 11:32-34 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets,  who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
• Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,  fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God..
• Ezekiel 22:30 I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.

【prayer】

• Be a “turner of the tides of history” : Father, please have mercy on America and give America another great awakening to remember those “turners of history” that You used during the funding of America, the Civil War, the two world wars, and other national crises. people”. Help us today as “turners of the tide of history” to fulfill our responsibilities so that Your will for our generation will be fulfilled; help us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, and be empowered and motivated to run this life journey of. We acknowledge that the line before us has not changed, only that our situation has become uncomfortable and unfavorable to us. Therefore, Holy Spirit, for the sake of all mankind, fills us greatly and renews us as we move toward our goal and run with patience.
• We declare in the name of Jesus Christ :
  • Petition to God is still valid!
  • Jehovah God’s work for America is not over yet !
  • Jehovah God is calling for the future of the world to be the pioneers who have been appointed to fight against the world for the future of mankind.
  • More children of God will rise to respond to the divine call, bear everything for the glorious mission of Christ, stand firm in times of crisis, and turn the tide of history at any cost.
  • America must be saved!

Critical Event: “Save  Our Children from the mouth of the Tiger” – Chance to Victory

Editor’s Note : We recently received requests from intercessors to write prayers for children’s “sexual orientation” education. This is a serious global problem. As we seek God’s prayer strategy for this, the Holy Spirit reminds us that America is the initiator of confusion about the “sexual orientation” of the next generation, and that the Florida conservatives’ legal battle against Disney’s liberals, although localized, will have enormous consequences and effect. Don’t underestimate this battle. The United States has reversed, and it will bring about a global reversal like a domino effect. We should continue to pray for this, and ask the intercessors of all nations to pray together.

• John 3:19-21   This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God..
• Hebrews 11:33-34   who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,  quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies..
• Matthew 19:14   Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.“

• Opportunity to Victory:   Father, thank You for giving Florida this great opportunity! Inspire us to see through the eyes of Caleb and Joshua the blueprint in Your heart, the broad perspective. Lord, stir up the courage of the lion of Judas in us, the tenacity of an ox, the eyes of an eagle, to pray, to act, to speak, to roar! Yes, we must seize this opportunity for people like Caleb and Joshua to be set in place! You said that we can do greater works than Jesus did!
• Help the old and the young to come out of Egypt: Heavenly Father, today You will rescue these children just as You did with Moses and the Israelites back then.

We declare: The children of this generation are holy because God is holy!

In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheet: Feed the River and Open the Ancient Well

Info : Dutch Sheets  Date: April 17, 2022  Original: Morning Star Ministries  Source: Resources for the Kingdom of God

I know the speakers have been talking about Passover over the past few days. So this time I’m going to try to lead you guys forward and talk about what’s coming.

The Lord started a few weeks ago – I think the appropriate word is “convicted” – and made me realize that some of my thoughts about America and certain cities around the world were wrong.

I think that sometimes people have given up praying for someone’s redemption, deliverance, and conversion without realizing it. Sometimes we also give up somewhere. When I met the Lord in 2000, He directed me to the work I am doing now, and ended the process of preparation by calling me to serve this country. Since then, I have never for a moment doubted America’s salvation. I don’t know how difficult this challenge will be or how long it will take, and the process is not over yet. But even so, I never gave up on America. Maybe I gave up on certain cities and regions and started thinking, maybe God will ignore them and save others.

However, starting a few weeks ago, things became clearer. God had to come and remind me, not that I didn’t know it at all, but He had to come and remind me, “I love the people here as much as I love the people in other cities. I did turn Saul into Paul, and I did change hearts. I did transform Nineveh. I visited places where no one welcomed me and made them a welcome crowd.” We just don’t know where God is going to work first and how He’s going to work, but we know that He’s going to work.

This is how it started for me in the process. I was so busy during the period when I got this dream that I was passed on to me that I just read it without thinking about it, so God led me back to it about a week later. It was a short dream, and now I read it to you, and I will add some explanation to it.

I have a meeting somewhere with my wife and two other people. Before the meeting, the two men told me, “It’s time to ‘feed the river'”.

This sentence is very interesting. I heard it, but didn’t understand at all what it meant. Because they say “to feed” not “to be fed” or “drink from the river.”

We walked past them and sat by the river, enjoying the leisurely moments of a beautiful day. At this point the two men came up to me again and said, “It’s time to ‘feed the river'”. They handed me some buckets, and I walked into the river with the buckets, and after walking for a while I threw the buckets into the river, and I kept throwing buckets into the river as I walked, even though I kept throwing the buckets, the buckets never came shortage.

On this part of the river walk, I passed some camps and saw people fishing. As I walked past them, they shouted at me, “Daqu, thank you so much for ‘feeding the river’, now we’re going to catch some big fish”.

When I got to the end, I rejoined everyone, back to the starting point, and they said, “Now we can start the meeting.”

Because of this dream, I began to ask the Lord, because I knew there must be some meaning in it. There’s a reason God didn’t tell me what was in the bucket in the dream. So I started praying about it, and I started looking into what God or the prophets put into the water in the Bible.

The first scripture that comes to my mind is in 2 Kings 2. The people from the school of the prophets said to Elisha, this is a great place, and we’ve decided that we’re going to have a school of the prophets here. But we found that the water here is of poor quality, producing the curse of barren. Its Hebrew meaning is infertility, and its broader meaning is “unable to prosper.” Because the water contains toxic substances, the land is poisoned and cannot be produced. Can you help us change the barrenness of the land that does not bear fruit?

So Elisha said, Go and bring me new bottles. The way to purify these waters cannot be found in old bottles. Must be new wines in new wineskins, which have been prepared for the season.

They brought new jars full of salt to Elisha. Elisha poured the salt into the water. Yahweh Rapha, the God of healing, pours “Rapha,” or healing, into the water, and the water is cleansed. Since that day, clean water has allowed the land to flourish.

Until I started studying these scriptures, there were some that I didn’t realize, but now I keep thinking, “What does this have to do with drinking?”.

This place is the city of Jericho. When the city of Jericho was captured by Joshua and the Israelites, Joshua cursed the city of Jericho. He said that no one would be able to live or build a house here again, or he would lose his first or youngest son ( Joshua 6:26 ). Joshua cursed the city of Jericho according to God’s leadership, and this curse has remained in effect.

Until then, the curse was still in play. But some prophets saw this place and connected it so much with the redeeming nature of God, knowing that God was willing to change his will, just as he changed his original will for Nineveh – if the right thing happens, then I Always willing to come to salvation rather than judgment. Even if Canaan was cursed in Genesis 9, God is still willing to transform Canaan and make the “land of Canaan” a promised land to receive blessings, and to make the cursed land a promised land! A land so special that people are vying for it!

Some people looked at the land and said, “This land looks so beautiful, I think God wants to redeem it”. Elisha agreed with them, so he said, “Bring the salt in a jar.” The curse was removed, and the land began to prosper again.

I asked the Lord, “What does this salt represent?”. He said, ” What did Jesus say? You, the salt. I want my people – starting with you – to stop cursing the city”. It’s okay to release warnings from the Lord, I don’t mean that. I don’t mean not to speak out against something wrong or sinful. What I’m referring to is cursing with words, always uttering destructive, negative words at them.

God started saying to me, “Why don’t you challenge the people who live in those areas that are very liberal, far left, antichrist core, as they drive through the streets, walk in the neighborhood, go to worship on the way, drive roll down the car windows, let yourself be salt – the medium of preservation and cleansing – and start sending life-giving blessings to communities, neighbors, cities, nations? Cleanse wherever you go, release the Lord Rapha, My stripes, my blood, my healings, why don’t you release them into accursed cities and nations?”

I found that when I started doing it myself and reminding others to do it, I found that faith started to arise in me. I am not sure, but I feel that some of the most wicked strongholds that exist in this country right now could be the gateways to revival and watering in this awakening movement that God is about to send! Because He loves these homeless people, He loves people who commit any sin you can name.

We praise Him for loving sinners but abhor sin, but I’m not sure we remember enough that He loves sinners so much. So on this day Jesus rose from the dead, I’m going to challenge you all to start addressing the cursed places, and the sin, poverty, sickness, destruction, antichrist spirit, such an unbiblical leftist agenda, Life, blessing, release, healing, water that causes barrenness in the area, these will be broken, because you are adding salt to this, you are adding salt to that city!

Open four ancient wells

Another friend of mine has had several dreams in the past six months or so. Excitingly, over a period of about a year and a half, he passed on to me about a dozen dreams about God reopening the well of revival. These wells are present in 14 or 15 locations around the world. The friend learned in a dream that these places were places that had experienced great spiritual revivals in the past. The wells are reopened in the dream, but I’m not sure if they always appear in the same places in the same way. I think he means, “What I have done there in the past, what I have poured out there, I will wake up again!”.

I don’t think that the movement that God is going to carry out around the world will only be in four or five sporadic places, say there are only two or three places in a country, so that the local people have only a few places to choose from. Engagement, what we’re entering is a broad field. I’m sure there will be some areas that experience deeper or more than others, but it won’t be confined to one place but will spread out and sweep across the neighborhood, the community, the country. From the dream of God reopening these wells, I know that we are getting closer to the great revival and harvest to come.

The first of two dreams this man shared, 4 wells of rebooting appeared. One of them is the Fulton Street Revival, which has a lot to do with prayer . The second well is the Tennent Well , which is associated with the First Great Awakening. God let someone who is burdened by the lukewarm pastors and leaders who are prevalent today rise up to preach, and let the fire of God fall on the pulpit again. He even challenged some pastors, “You should be saved!”. Of course these pastors were offended, but things really took a turn. God moved, and this whole thing became part of the First Great Awakening. Leaders began to turn to God, and some people’s love for God was rekindled.

In this dream, the well begins to burn, and the fire of revival falls on the leader. Leaders come here from all over the country with sticks in their hands that have cut ties with liberals, lukewarm, etc. from the pulpit, and stretch into the burning well until the sticks burn, and then run back to where they were, Go to the pulpit, and the fire is kindled there, and the pulpit burns in the flame of revival.

The third well is about Haystack Revival . It was a revival that broke out on the campus of Williams College that gave birth to world missions, so the well must have something to do with the global soul harvest. When the well was opened in a dream, thousands of people came out of the well to preach the gospel all over the world. So I believe that a very huge global mission, evangelism movement is coming.

The fourth well that appears in this dream is related to the Cane Ridge Revival. Thousands attend a large tent party in Sugarcane Ridge, Kentucky. It was the early 1800s, and the revival was breaking out in Cane Ridge, with people coming from all over the country on horses, carriages, and even on foot. This revival was spread by word of mouth testimony, thousands were saved, the sick were healed, and countless were knocked down by the Holy Spirit in the fields where the meeting was held. This amazing act of God’s power represents the harvest of souls.

Four Other Wells of Restoration – A Journey of Awakening

It took a long time to talk about these four wells, so I will share with you the next four wells in the form of brief introductions. In this dream I just received, I met Gabriel with the limb who gave me the dream.

“The dream started when Dutch and I were walking in a field with many wells. We saw a lot of abandoned wells and we talked about it. When we were talking, I said to Dutch, ‘Do you hear anything? I heard the sound of metal grinding as if the gears were turning”. Dutch said, “I heard that too”. We walked towards the place where the sound was coming from when the Archangel Gabriel appeared beside us. , said to us as we walked, “It’s time to reopen another well in America! She (America) has reached another milestone on the journey of awakening.” I asked Gabriel in the dream, “The journey ?” He said, “Yes, America has been on a journey of awakening since the late 2000s! ”.

We quickly approached the well that made the sound. When we arrived, Gabriel said to us, “This well will come back to life! The power of resurrection has come! ‘. Under God’s wonderful arrangement, the first time I shared this dream was on Easter Sunday. The power of resurrection has come! This well will come back to life! He added, “The time has been set for the well to resume full operation. This well will give you the insights and strategies you need to advance your awakening, and the powers of darkness cannot stop it! ‘. He added, “You are in a time of great war, visible war, and invisible war! Go to work! ‘. “

The people who shared the dream with me did not know these places. The area where the first well was located was originally an aboriginal property, but was robbed by the whites, so it was a battlefield . Just a few days before this dream was passed on to me, the Aboriginal people regained their title to the land through court proceedings. This is a remarkable achievement.

In this well, we see thousands of people of different ethnicities and backgrounds in the well. They are wandering there, hoping to delay, the crowns on their heads fall to the ground, and they don’t know where they are lost . They had keys on their shoulders, but the keys were faded and unusable.

Gabriel said, “Prophesy to them. Give them back the roar”. I had a horn at the time, but instead of blowing it, I used it as a microphone to prophesy to the people in the well. I said, “Kings, humble yourself and get your crown back. Take your call, align with courage and discipline, it may be a bloodbath, but you rule!”

When the people returned to the ground, they put the recovered crowns on their heads, turned into lions, and began to roar, and the surrounding land shook with the roar of the lions. Gabriel kept calling them “kings” because the lion was the king’s anointing. At the end of this dream, I said to Gabriel, “Gabriel, let me be blunt, now that we’re not called up as Christians, we’ve become kings?”. Gabriel said to me, “In the kingdom of God, there is only one class of kings!”. I say, this is exactly ekklesia!

I think what Gabriel means is that we are not just called to be Christians who can go to heaven, we are also to take on the qualities of the lion of the Lord Jesus. We must retrieve the crown, put it back, and roar with the lion of Judah, for he will roar out of Zion and send us out again with authority. We want the faded keys on the shoulders to shine again so they can function again.

He said, Teach these lions how to keep the crown from falling off their heads and keep the key on their shoulders light, because when the key stays light, they can unlock the supernatural!

Now let me briefly describe the second well. The second well is about the heat rising from the Frelinghuysen well. Flynn Heisen was a preacher during the First Great Awakening. Even before Jonathan Edwards, he had been greatly used by God to give birth to the first Great Awakening.

In this dream, Inoue wrote “The temperature of the hot air rising from the Fringhassen well is set at 600 degrees”. The Bible index Strong’s Concordance 600, is “restoration”, and Gabriel has been referring to “restoration” in the dream. The well looks like a spired, stained glass-shaped building. The angel flew into the building, rushed through the stained glass, and began to light the fire in the well. What is special about this well is that it’s all about “the church being restored and served as it was in the first awakening.”

This is such a powerful, powerful image!

Listen, many leaders who are now lukewarm, they will find fire again! Don’t curse them, but come and pray for them!

Don’t curse your city, come and pray for your city! God wants to bring down the fire and turn on the source of heat, not the fire of judgment, but the fire of revival! Pentecost Fire! Fire from His throne! He is going to open the fire in them, the fire that actually burns in them!

Archangel Gabriel said, “The fire that burns in the furnace of the preacher’s womb will heat up to 600 degrees. Then my home will return to being a birthing and fatherly raising home! A birthing and fatherly raising Birth and fathering! My home will be a birthing and fathering home again!”.

I turned to the man who had the dream (he was a prophet), pointed at him and shouted, “Prophecy!”. At this moment, a ball of lightning-like light shot out of my finger and shot into the prophet’s chest, and he began to prophesy.

He said, “The Holy Spirit says, in His calling, His gift, turn your face to me again, and I will kindle you to be born again. My passion will be imparted to your eyes, and when my eyes are burning, you Your eyes will also fire. My passion will swallow you up, and you will begin to see with my eyes. I am opening unseen realms to you that I have not yet opened to my children (Dutch Explained here, it is the enlightenment of the spirit of revelation).”

The Lord of Armies said, “Open your mouth, and through you I will release the sword of my word, and your word will be built in my word. When my word becomes a sword, I will use it to sculpt My body so that I can release My body into the deep stream of my awakening.”

When he finished prophesying, I began to declare. I said, “I add coals and light this furnace, commanding the coals to receive the breath of God. The Father is blowing on you, and from your belly is kindling the fire of courage that will stand firm, and you will not be threatened by their countenance or threat. And shaken. You will recover, recharge, and release ekklesia into her passionate mission. God’s fire, burn and devour!”

I’ll end with one more share, as Gabriel takes us to the 3rd well.

The well is buried in a thicket of thorns and thorny shrubs, and we can barely see it. It took a lot of hard work to get to the well, because we had to keep making paths along the way. However, even though we managed to get there, the thorns all around us kept us from getting close.

When we were wounded by the thorns and had to step back, we said in frustration, “We can’t do it”, at this time, the me in the dream was enlightened. I said, “This well cannot be opened in the same way that we open other wells, it is a well that responds to sound. So we have to make the right sound.”

I turned to Gabriel and said, “Please bring us some of the right voices that we need.” I turned again and saw my spiritual son, a worship leader, walking towards us with his worship team. I was startled by his presence and said to him, “Why are you here? Bring us some voices!”. They began to play worship music. At this point, the thorns and thorny shrubs that covered the well began to wither and fall.

The shape of the well is different. It looks like a door and is called “The Well of Glory”. Its Hebrew word is “glory,” but its main meaning is “robe.” Therefore, it is the glory associated with the robe. Elijah’s robe carried the glory of God, which is why Elijah’s robe on Elisha represented the coming of glory.

When we walked through the door, it was like a dry cleaner with clothes hanging all over the place. Clothes hang on the racks, numbered on them, as well as washing machines, dryers, and more. Clothes are of different sizes.

So there’s a lot of cyclical mechanical action here. Clothing types include robes, shawls, blazers, jackets and more. Every size and color you can think of is here. They are grouped according to 7 mountains – the government’s robe, the media’s robe.

Gabriel said to us, “Look at these robes, examine them carefully, and you will know how to restore them. You will know how to redeem them and activate them”. Gabriel added, “Some robes were never worn, some were discarded, and some were not passed on to the right recipient. Your job is to distribute these robes and pass them back to ekklesia. This is the time to bring together the old and the new, and bring heaven to earth in its entirety!”.

Gabriel took us back to the door, and as we were about to step out of the well, he handed each of us a golden key. It’s like opening a bank safe, he said, and you both need a key to properly distribute the robes. Apostles and prophets, you two had better work together. You have to go into this well both together, turn the key, and this whole room will open up to you. Apostles and prophets, when you turn the keys together, the robes and glory of this whole room will open to you so that you can pass them on to others! Anytime you feel you need it, you can come and get it! You will know which robe to take and to whom to pass it on.

We looked out and saw hundreds of people standing outside knocking on the door. There are several apostolic leaders helping us distribute. They organized everyone to line up in groups, waiting to receive their robes. At this time, I recognized 3 apostolic leaders I knew in a dream, one of them was Chuck Pierce. Chuck appears to be the one who gives the order, the order of the heavens, the prophetic, the apostolic.

Perhaps this represents a new, dispense-like task to be given to Chuck. Pierce, take everyone to a higher level to distribute to leaders who need these robes.

Now to summarize a converted scene. I saw we entered a well full, it was a harvest well, it looked like a barrel bin, and it looked like it was about to burst. We have to open it and take out the harvest within, but we cannot open it. So we have to go back to the previous well with 7 mountains of robes, pass the keys to the people, put the robes on them, and bring them over to help us open this well of harvest. We don’t need to be very prophetic about this well to understand the implications.

The work that God is going to do will not be confined to the four walls of the church. This revival, awakening, outpouring, will go through the church, through the people of God, through ekklesia, and everyone will have the robe that God will give! coat! coat! There is a robe made just for you! There are robes associated with characters from your past life that you must find. The apostles and prophets will help you to get your cloak, your robe, and let the glory be carried in the way it must be carried.

prayer

Therefore, Father, we ask You to help us to feed these wells, we are the salt, we are the vessels that You will use to pour healing, preserving agents into cities and nations to remove the curse of death and infertility, Redeem them the same way as Nineveh, the land of Canaan. Lord, you have the power of resurrection, the anointing that you can open these wells: revival, awakening, prayer, world mission, redemption, pouring out, pulpit fire, church fire, business fire, media fire , the fire on campus.

We must make new noises, and let the thorns and thorny bushes that stand in the way of where we must go wither and fall. New voices will allow us to reach our destination. Lord, please raise up a group of apostolic, prophetic leaders at this time. They will be excited to put their robes on others instead of just wanting their own. Please give us a burning heart to dispense, to be a teacher to lead, to feed, to awaken others. Find lions that have lost their crowns and tell them, “You have a crown! Wear it!”. Polish the key so that it can open the door again. Give us new hearts so that our hearts can burn again in the fire of revival!

[Chuck’s response]

One of the things that led me to pray for the nation came from a scripture God gave me. As early as 14 years ago, God showed me the situation in America. At that time I asked Him, “How is this nation going to be saved?”. “You must learn to play the trump card,” He said. This was told to me by God long before Trump took to the political stage, and I recorded it in the book. Playing the trump card means that you have to make strategic moves that keep the enemy from overtaking you. This is exactly where we are now.

Then God gave me this scripture. Luke 13:7-9, “He said to the gardener, ‘Look, I have been looking for fruit from this fig tree for the past three years, but I can’t find it. Cut it down, and why waste the land!’ The gardener said, “Lord, keep it this year until I dig up the soil around me and add dung; if it bears fruit later, I will cut it down again.”

I want to make it very clear to you that the Lord used this passage to tell me that at the end of the third year, Mr. Trump will no longer be the “President of the United States” as we know him. But the gods will then start digging and fertilizing, but there must be some new planting that sets the next period for the country. We must have a heart to see the land where we belong to be revived again and bring people to life.

The same thing happened two years ago. We have the most vigorous fig trees here, producing 4 times a year, prolific and prolific, but a deadly cold hit and froze the fig trees. The Lord says, when you plant this fig tree, you are planting a fig tree that will make the nation grow again! Your planting will allow the fruit that has been delayed for the past two years to start bearing fruit again in a new way!

(Prophecy to Dutch Sheet)

I said, I have developed the fast track for you, and sent angels to help, to rediscover the voice and the tools of the nation. I say, not only can you dig the ancient well, but when you dig the ancient well, you make the country a well! The Lord said, I am starting this Passover today, and in the next 3 years, I am giving you the anointing of the people of God’s kingdom in this land! Those that are closed, silenced, sealed, stopped, I will let you start breaking those blockades in this land! I will send angels to help you, and you will walk with the angels, because while you are unraveling certain areas of the land for them to produce, certain areas of the land will be more desolate.

But I say, if you start now, by the end of the next 3 years, you can make the country flourish again! I’m going to tell you what this will look like. The messiest room in the building, we’ve finally cleaned it up, but it’s not back to what it should be. Penny led her team to refinish all the pipes, which also had to be opened. It will take several months to remove the contamination from the pipes. It has to be rinsed, closed, and rinsed again. . .

I’m telling you to ask the Lord this Passover to give us the grace we need to deal with the filth that will come to the fore. If we get the grace to deal with the filth, then we will see new rivers start to flow for the next 3 years. This is God’s word for this Passover. If you come and ask Me for the grace to deal with the filth, then I will push the filth away and bring a new source throughout the land!

I tell you, be ready. Be ready, voices are to be heard, workers are to work, and grace is to be abundantly available to each of us. Ignition firebrand must go first. I’m sending you out to find a way to start bearing new fruit today! In the holy name of Jesus. Because the fruit and planting that the Lord has prepared for our future is starting again today! I send you forward, in the name of Jesus!

Editorial Special Section: Rick Joyner: True Discipleship

Info : Rick Joyner Date: April 23, 2022    Source :Morning Star Ministries

As Steve Thompson related in one of our leadership team meetings, there have been scientific studies made which indicate that the way that we are born can affect our whole lives. One example that was given is a procedure developed called “drug them and tug them,” which was to drug the mother and tug the baby out. That generation became the one that turned to drug use in mass. Drugs are used as an escape from the pains of life.

It seems that there has also been a parallel to this in the church. When the gospel of an “easy salvation,” or an easy new birth, began to be preached, Christians in mass seemed to become easily addicted to spiritual drugs, or doctrines that make you feel good while escaping reality. This message of an easy salvation was basically “come to Jesus and He will save you from all of your problems,” rather than the biblical gospel that we come to Him to be saved from our sin, and to enter a life of radical discipleship and self-sacrifice.

I was given a prophetic word over twenty years ago that “the saved needed to get saved.” This word continues to ring in my ears as I have watched a veritable meltdown of morality and integrity in the Western church. The weakness of Christians to stand against temptation and deception continues to grow rapidly. There is something fundamentally wrong with what is generally happening in Christianity today. When something starts going fundamentally wrong, it is the result of a problem with the foundation. We need to reexamine the very foundations of our gospel message, and the method, or lack of one, that is being used to disciple those who are coming into the church.

Because of excesses in the past with shepherding and discipleship, many believers now have a knee jerk reaction just to these words. As I have studied those movements, trying to understand what went wrong, I do believe that the methods that were devised by them promoted weakness and immaturity in believers rather than maturity. I am certainly not proposing a return to them, but there is a true discipleship, and there is a desperate need for true shepherds who will lay down their lives for the sheep, and not just try to use them for their own selfish gain.

The Apostle Paul described the gospel that he preached in I Corinthians 2:1-5:

And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I am determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

A question that we must ask is: Are people today really being converted by the cross at all? Are we merely converting them to our denominations, to our doctrines, and to us? Are we even converting them to shallow promises of an easier life and deliverance from their problems? Following Jesus will not deliver us from all our problems— it will even give us some of the biggest ones, possibly even calling for our lives! He did not come to deliver us from our problems, but from ourselves. He did not come to change our circumstances—He came to change us! Jesus is not coming cap in hand begging men to “accept Him.” He still calls men to come to Him the same way He called them when He walked this earth.

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me (Luke 9:23),

When Jesus called His disciples, it was for total commitment. They had to be willing to leave everything to follow Him, and so do we. If He is not the Lord of all, then He is not our Lord at all. As Paul also wrote:

For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;

and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf (II Corinthians 5:14-15).

Nothing less than this is true discipleship, as the Lord Jesus Himself made clear:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.”Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness'” (Matthew 7:21-23).

When we modify the message of the cross in order to make it acceptable, we destroy the power of that message to truly save. There are many “gospels” that are being preached today that have made multitudes feel safe in a spiritual condition in which their eternal lives were in jeopardy. Those who preach such a diluted gospel, and who promote such an easy Christian life, may be the biggest stumbling blocks living today. As Paul said, “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, that the cross of Christ should not be made void” (I Corinthians 1:17-18).

Before we can preach the true message of the cross, we must be delivered from the fear of man, the compulsion to be accepted by men, or the motive of wanting to receive anything from them. As Paul declared in Galatians 1:10: “If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.”

If we are to walk with Christ we cannot be controlled by the fear of man, or the compulsion to be accepted by men. If we are controlled by these fears and desires, we will not be bond-servants of Christ. We do not preach in order to please men, but to please God. Our goal must not be to get people to respond to our message, but to the undiluted gospel of Jesus Christ. Only when we walk in this way are we truly walking under His Lordship, and only then will our message be true.

Editorial Section: Kevin Zadai: How to Pray from the Spirit, Not from the Soul

Info : Kevin Zadai  Date: March 28, 2022  Source:  Kevinzadai.com  Source : Seven Spirits

Turn off the mind (turn off the living, brain-working thoughts), keep praying in tongues—do it often, and in about ten years, you’ll be able to tell whether you’re praying in spirit or in soul.

Because, this is what happened to me: I used to pray out of my mind , and then I could tell when it was my soul that was speaking and when it was my spirit that was praying . As individuals with three parts: spirit, soul, and body , we are all complex. So sometimes even the best of people can feel some kind of “touch”, but it’s not actually from God (His Spirit), but from their own soul.

Therefore, you must feed your spirit more than your soul.

So, what we do is: we spend a lot of time praying , a lot of time studying, and then we do something interesting to dis-engage from it for a while –  we might sit down and choose something to watch For example, I might watch a training video for my next flying lesson, and I fill my mind with it for about half an hour, and then we pray and study again.

Soul is a giant baby, always screaming for input, screaming for attention.

And because of this, the greatest test I have personally (died on the operating table, went to heaven, and was sent back to earth after talking to the Lord for four hours ) was not ( in seeing clearly how people on earth are After being tempted and disturbed by various demons in the spiritual world) relearning how to live on earth, but, learning how to reject my soul.

The soul thinks it has various “rights”, but the soul doesn’t really have any rights –  my “will” (the will is one component of the soul, the other two are: emotions and thoughts) don’t really have any rights, because, I was bought –  Jesus paid for the “deed”, so he owns the property –  He owns me.

That is to say, my body does not belong to me, and my life does not belong to me. Therefore, I really can’t make my own decisions, and I actually have no right to control my own life, because the sovereignty rests with God . However, if a person is disobedient to God , such a person deliberately demands that he has the final say and is in charge of his life, then God will actually grant his (rebellious) request. And this, in my opinion, is even scarier. When God allows people to go their own way, that permission is more terrible than denying your prayer request. In my opinion, that’s probably the scariest thing ever.

The scariest verse in the Bible is when Samson woke up unaware that the Holy Spirit had left him: 

Delilah said, Samson, the Philistines have brought you. Samson woke up from his sleep and said to himself, I’m going to go out and exercise like I did before. But he did not know that the LORD had left him. (Judges 16:20)

Because it’s one thing to be bewitched; it’s even scarier to not even know you’ve been bewitched. Not knowing that the Holy Spirit has left you is bad.

The soul must be rejected for this reason: the mission of the soul should be to serve your spirit (not to make demands of its own). The function of the soul is supposed to enhance (supplement) your spiritual experience. That is, when your spirit is going through a God -related experience, such as when God is speaking to you, the soul should direct the chemicals in your body to make you feel loved and accepted. It feels good to interact with God , and the function of the soul is to contribute to that feeling. This involves both physiology and body chemistry, as well as feelings and thoughts .

In short, the soul should be used to intensify the experience of your spirit (which you feel through your body, your mind).

So what happens if you have a problem with your soul and you are praying in tongues at the same time ?

Sometimes, I’m praying in spirit (praying in tongues ) against high-level evil spirits, and all of a sudden I feel so bad, my mind and body feel like I’ve done something wrong –  this has happened many times in the past, When I was praying in tongues against those high-level evil spirits, sometimes everything was fine, but all of a sudden, my body started to have all sorts of terrifying sensations, as if it was going into a terrifying realm, and I thought, “What is going on? Did I do something wrong?” And then the Lord showed me, “You just had a face-to-face confrontation with Goliath . Goliath is an evil ‘ ruler’ who came to get rid of you Suck life away from your prayers .” That’s it, this experience (encounter) affected how my soul felt, and I learned: don’t hold back, just stay there and say, “This trick of the evil spirit will not work.” So I kept praying , kept praying . And then we get to the “self blowing well” –  it’s like, you keep digging down, and all of a sudden, you find the well. Then the flow, the overflowing, begins.

Chances are, those demonic spirits know that you are about to dig a “blowing well” in your spirit, that you are about to overthrow them (make them lose their thrones), so they throw a layer to and from your soul in advance (while you are praying in tongues). Confusion, feeling like a wet, cold coat that makes you feel bad and disorganized, designed to make you give up. That is, your soul can (under their influence) deceive you into thinking you have done something wrong.

This has happened many times. For example, every time I bought something important and big for my house, and the Lord said to me, “No, don’t use this yourself, give it to so-and-so to use.” My response was : “Huh, alright.” Then all was well until they (recipients) drove up and pulled the thing away. Immediately my feeling became: “What have I done? (How did I give away such a precious thing?)” In fact, all I did was obey God (did nothing wrong at all). But my soul is like a giant baby that is desperately clinging to food, unwilling to give up, complaining and moaning.

In this way, your spirit and your soul oppose each other. It’s not your spirit that’s against you, because God has told you to do that, but your soul is against you, saying, “Oh, now you’ve done that ‘ stupid’ thing! Since it’s given to someone else, how are you going to do this month? How are you going to pay your bills?” and so on.

Therefore, the soul should serve the spirit.

Jesus Himself said to me, “When you pray in tongues, you are ‘ overthrowing your soul’ , like an inversion in wrestling: you press down your soul until the two sides are reversed again. Then you subdue your soul, and you tell it how to feel and how to think. It is no longer that it directs you, but you direct it.” The Lord said, this is called ” overthrowing .”

In this way, praying in tongues builds and strengthens your spirit.

During this process, you must command your soul: “Be quiet, shut up!”

As David said, “My heart, why are you so gloomy?” It was actually him speaking to his soul. That is, a part of him is saying to his soul, “Hey, what’s the matter with you?”

Pray for America: Turning the Tide of History

Editor’s Note: Editor’s Note: This article is based on the “Give Him 15 Minutes” post published on April 19 by Intercessor Leader Dutch Sheet.

【Current Affairs Background:  There is an obvious diversity of thought in the body of Christ regarding the future of America and, indeed, the world. Some believers hold no hope for a great, worldwide revival. There are various reasons for this. One of them is due to an eschatological view that there will be an across the board, worldwide increase of evil and deterioration of righteousness, including within the Church. In their thinking, a pre-tribulation rapture of the church is the only thing that can and will save us. Others do not see a revival and turnaround in America simply because of the degree and depth of our sin, compounded by the fact that more Americans aren’t repenting of and turning from our evil ways. (I write of my feelings toward this in my book, An Appeal To Heaven.) They also would point to the continued trending toward darkness by so many. This thinking that America is heading toward destruction has recently been confirmed in their minds by recent dreams and prophecies warning of America’s judgment and destruction.

While I am not disputing anyone’s dream or word in this post – as yesterday’s post stated, great shakings are coming – I am contending that judgment can be lessened and, at times, stopped by intercession (Genesis 18:22-33; Ezekiel 22:30-31). I am also contending that if judgment is reaped/does occur, it will be redemptive and America will survive. God is not finished with America!

I first heard the words, “America shall be saved,” from the late Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, who contended that he heard it from Holy Spirit. Then, God gave a powerful dream to our friend, Gina Gholston, in which an angel announced the words at the U.S. Capitol. I know there will be some shaking, but I also know America SHALL be saved.

My friend and fellow-believer in America’s unfinished destiny, William Ostan, agrees and wrote the following case for continued prayer for our nation. His belief in prayer’s effectiveness is why he introduced me years ago to the Appeal To Heaven flag. Will knows, “It still works.” He states:

“As world events have continued to spiral out of control with massive inflation crippling an already weakened America, a resurgent Russia’s illegitimate war in Ukraine, and an aggressive China making its intentions plain for eventual world domination by the end of this decade, the church now has a stark choice on how it responds to these and other difficult circumstances. Will we retreat in the face of overwhelming odds and prepare for what some deem an inevitable defeat? Or will we stay engaged in the culture through prevailing prayer and a resolute determination to overcome the odds, becoming ‘impossible people’?

“In his book, Impossible People: Christian Courage and the Struggle for the Soul of Civilization, author Os Guinness[1] writes,

“‘In the golden era of the Roman Empire, Pliny the Younger advised Emperor Trajan that Christians should be executed solely for their tenacity and intransigence. “Whatever the nature of their admission, I am convinced that their stubbornness and unshakable obstinacy ought not to go unpunished.”’[2].

“Christians in the early church confronted far more dire consequences than we do today, including instantaneous death or dismemberment for illegally proclaiming the gospel, yet they refused to stay silent and cower in fear! Instead, they became known as ‘impossible people’ because of their courageous stand marked by ‘unshakable obstinacy.’ We would be wise to draw inspiration from their strength for our current cultural moment!

“Guinness accurately describes the thinking in America by stating,

“‘Christians throughout the West often appear to be on the back foot. They have been told repeatedly that their prospects are hopeless. In a thousand withering dismissals we have heard that we are fighting a losing battle and the game is already over. [As] Christians…our day is done, our disagreements with others are a matter of bigotry, and we are reactionaries and on the “wrong side of history.”’3]

“We are fed these lies by the world daily and, sadly, at times by some leaders in the church. For years, countless books, articles, and speeches have stated that a ‘post-Christian’ America is fait accompli, and her eventual doom is imminent.

“How did we come to believe these lies? In my opinion, one of the reasons is that some leaders have constructed an idol of comfort in the hearts of millions of American Christians. But instead of being lulled into complacency, we need to be reawakened to our holy calling as ‘impossible people,’ those who will suffer anything for the glorious cause of Christ and stand resolutely in the face of cultural decay, come what may.

“Guinness teaches us that,

“‘As salt and light in today’s extraordinary world, our contribution is indispensable. We are not simply guardians of some of the best of the past, but pioneers whose task is to stand against the world for the future of the world – and for the very sake of humanity.’[4]

“‘Standing against the world’ simply means to resist the unbiblical ideals and control of those who oppose the church. And I want to home in on Guinness’ ‘very sake of humanity’ phrase. Recently, there have been some prophetic words and dreams matriculating through the body of Christ that predict several states seceding from the union, significant food shortages, and a total dismantling of our monetary policy. I’m not qualified to say if these predictions are true or not.

“However, I am confident that if these things occur, there will be major rioting and looting, leading to much death and destruction. The ‘thin red line’ between order and chaos will rapidly cease to exist. Storing up a few cans of food and bottles of water would likely be the least of our concerns. If the dreams are from God and come to pass, I believe we will experience widespread suffering in America at a level unknown since the Civil War.

“One of the reasons God gives His people dreams of this nature is so we can pray fervently for mercy and turn the tide of history. At times, however, the unintended consequence of hearing a warning dream can be to short-circuit the praying church, causing them to acquiesce and hunker down for the inevitable. This is human nature. The worst may indeed come to pass. BUT, I believe ‘history belongs to the intercessors’[5] who are willing to change it through prayer and fasting.[6] Mercy may once again triumph over judgment!

“Some of you may be thinking that I’m ‘Pollyannish’ or ‘blindly love America too much’ to see the impending judgment. I ask you to consider the heroes in the book of Hebrews’ ‘Hall of Faith.’ Their incredible exploits compel us to continued engagement. Allow these words from Hebrews 11:32-34 and 12:1-2 to permeate deep into your heart and mind:

“‘And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets – who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight…Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.’[7]

“Overcoming overwhelming odds by being ‘impossible people’ is not just in our spiritual DNA, it is our destiny. Winston Churchill echoed this truth during WW2 by teaching the following to all freedom-loving people, ‘When great causes are on the move in the world…we learn that we are spirits and not animals, and that something is going on in space and time, which, whether like it or not, spells “duty.’”[8]

“Friends, if a time of worldwide crisis is imminent, that is precisely why this is the greatest time to be alive, courageously following in the footsteps of the mighty men and women of the past who did their duty as ‘impossible people!’”
