Editorial Special Section: Chris Reed: The House That God Is Building

Message : Chris Reed   Original Source : Elijah List   Date: October 10, 2020  Source : Kingdom Prayer Network

“Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, ‘See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.’ Then Nathan said to the king, ‘Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.’

“But it happened that night that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying, ‘Go and tell My servant David, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Would you build a house for Me to dwell in? For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle. Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?”… Also the LORD tells you that He will make you a house.'”‘” (2 Samuel 7:1-7, 11)

Special Editorial Section: Veronica West: 7 Years of Abundant Supply for My Righteous Remnant

Message : Veronica West Original Source: Elijah List   Date: October 1, 2020 

Seven Years of Abundance in the Midst of Famine

In the early hours of the morning on September 24, 2022, I heard the Father say, “Watch! For the next seven years there will be short supply for the wicked, as I strip the stiff-necked and rebellious of their wealth and fortunes.

“Yes! But watch, for in the midst of famine, there shall be seven years of abundant supply for My righteous remnant! For that which was stored up by the hands of the wicked shall now be given into the hands of My righteous ones.

“Watch! For this will be that which has long been prophesied by the mouths of My prophets, for now a great transfer of wealth has begun.”

You Are Called for Such a Time as This

A word to the Taiwanese Church:

The Lord is with you and He loves you. He has heard your cry and His heart is toward you.

I hear the Lord saying that all you have walked through, and all that you have battled and faced in the past – it has been unto this moment. You’ve been forged in the fire and made into a sharp weapon for this very hour. What would have broken others has made you strong, and supernatural strength is being added to you.

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheet: The Rewarding  Pursuit

Message : Dutch Sheets  Date: October 10, 2022   Source: GiveHim15

Ceci loves to garden. While living in Colorado, her painstaking efforts were challenged, at best. Long winters, the ground never really warming up while living at 7500 feet, and summer nights always being in the 50-60’s – even during the months of July and August – made gardening nearly impossible. Therefore, tomato plants and potted herbs lined our back deck. It was a bit frustrating to a Mississippi farm girl not to be able to have her own garden with fresh-grown vegetables.

Pray for America: Fires of Awakening Coming to the East Coast

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from Dutch Sheets’ post on October 5, in which God gave the prophetic revivalist, Miriam Evans’ dream.  It’s about fires spreading from Florida to the entire East Coast, along I-95 all the way to Maine. This is a very inspiring dream, to read the full text click here.

【Current affairs background: In 2018, while ministering in Miami, Florida, I had a disturbing conversation with a pastor. He had been told by an influential Christian leader that Miami was considered a ‘pastor’s graveyard,’ due to the lack of spiritual hunger and zeal on the East Coast. ...Detailed Reading】

• Mal 4:2  But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.
• John 14:12   Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
• Isaiah 22:22  I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

【prayer】

• Revival burns Eastern States : Heavenly Father, may You remember the people of Florida, You are the immediate help in their troubles, and give Governor DeSantis and his team divine wisdom, strategy, and adequate resources, Accelerate recovery in all respects. The Holy Spirit not only comforts those who are hurt and restores hope to those who have lost hope, raises a wave of glory. Unleash the gifts and anointing needed for miracles, evangelism, intercession, worship, and revelatory teaching to bring revival to towns, cities, and counties in Florida and the east coast of the United States.

•  We declare in the name of Jesus Christ ,
  • The fire of revival must be ignited on campuses at all levels, freeing young generations from the influence of lies, perversions and deceit.

  • God will raise up fighting warriors from Maryland, turn Washington DC, and become the trumpeter to awaken the United States, the seed of the fire of American revival.
  • Pennsylvania is a cornerstone state. It must shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding and strengthening the United States, pulling the United States back into alignment with God, leading the United States to separate from the world again, restore independence and freedom, demonstrate the virtues and truths of Christ, and become a city on a mountain!
  • Delaware, the state of America’s first fruits, must reconnect to the root of holiness, restore America’s holiness, and open the way for God’s holy glory to come in and bear holy fruit.

Pray for Israel: Celebrate Sukkot daily

【Current Events: Sukkot is one of the three major Jewish festivals. This year’s Sukkot starts from October 9th and ends on the 16th. Except for the past two years due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, this year thousands of Christians from all nations come to Jerusalem to celebrate this time. …Detailed Reading】

• Leviticus 23:39-43 : ‘So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to the Lord for seven days; the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest.  On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees—and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.  Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month.  Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters  so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’
• Isaiah 2:2-4 In  In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,  to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion,  the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation,  nor will they train for war anymore..
• Zec 14:16   Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
• John 7:37-39 On  On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.. 
• Revelation 21:3   And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.“

【Prayer】　

Brand New Tabernacle ~ The Tabernacle of Glory is to be erected in Israel! God’s tent is on earth!

• Salvation comes to Israel : There is only one true God who rules over all things, opens the eyes of Israel’s spirit, gives them a heart that truly seeks You, removes the veil from the eyes of the Israelites, and sees that Christ is the Messiah prophesied by the prophets Isaiah (2 Corinthians 3:14, Isaiah 53 ). In Zion poured out “a spirit of grace and supplication, [therefore] they shall look to me, whom they have pierced, and shall mourn for me…as in bereavement of the firstborn” (Zechariah 12:10) . The salvation and spiritual fullness of the Gentiles stirred up the longing for the Messiah in Israel ( Romans 11:11, 25-26 ). On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, so that Israel can really drink from this river of living water that flows out of their belly, and make them long to live with You as if they were celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles every day!
• We declare in the name of Jesus Christ :
  • Jews and nations will know of Your salvation, and Your holy name will be proclaimed throughout the earth.
  • For this unprecedented harvest, Jehovah God will raise up workers around the world.
  • The LORD God will save his people, the remnant of Israel (Jer. 31:7), and all the house of Israel (Rom. 10:1) .
  • God’s tent is on earth! The tabernacle of God’s glory is to be erected in Israel!
  • The Israelites lived in tents, looking forward to the coming of the King of Glory, whose presence would fill the tabernacle of glory in Israel!

In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Pray for Israel: Watching for Israel’s Election Season

【Current affairs background: Since the resignation of former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in late June, the parliament has been dissolved and the post of Prime Minister has been temporarily replaced by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid until a new parliament is elected. Israel will begin voting on November 1. That means Israel will have one of the longest election seasons ever, its fifth in three and a half years. …Detailed Reading】

• Proverbs 21:1 In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.

• Mark 10:43-44 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.

• Micah 6:8   He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy  and to walk humbly with your God..

• 2 Chronicles 1:11-12   God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king,  therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

【Prayer】　

• Healing the hearts of Israel’s leaders : Father, You are the God who searches the heart and You are the God who heals the heart. May You work in the hearts of the leaders of the political parties in Israel, removing the dross from their lives, removing the selfish political ambition, power control, disobedience and strife from their hearts. I ask You to plant righteousness and integrity in them, heal and wrap past life events, and deliver them from the pit and prison of the enemy. May Your mercy surround them, draw lines of protection for their hearts, and guard their hearts and minds.

• Raise up a government after God’s own heart: Father, we thank You that You are the “King” of Israel, who has been watching over Israel. Please prepare the hearts of the elect of Israel to discern the true intentions of politicians, to elect leaders who are in accordance with Your own will, and to form a stable coalition government that is in accordance with God’s will. May You raise up and anoint these truly righteous, mercy-loving leaders who walk with You in humility to lead Israel out of the political impasse. May Your will for Israel be done this election season!

In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Critical Event: The Covenant of the Descendants of Ishmael with Abraham

【Background: From October 20, 2022, there will be a “Homecoming” gathering in Bahrain, a small country in the Middle East. The sons and daughters who are burdened with returning to the Middle East responded to God’s call and flew from all over the world to Bahrain, and then to Dubai, to restart the ancient well of the gospel, with the intention of making key prophetic actions in these two countries and leading Ishma. The descendants of Ishamel returned to the house of God the Father one after another. …Detailed Reading】

• Genesis 12:2-3   “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
• Hebrews 8:6  But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
• Matt 5:9  Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

【Prayer】

• Stand for Ishmael in the covenant: Abba Father, You are the God of covenant and mercy! Through Your covenant with Abraham, You have shown great mercy to the descendants of Ishmael to return to the Father’s house. Through the “Abraham Accord”, You opened the door of blessing. At this moment, You have raised up a homecoming team to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to gather in Bahrain and Dubai, and continue to ignite this Ishmael homecoming movement; may the Holy Spirit be in Ishmael The hearts of the descendants of Ishamel are stirred, longing for Jesus Christ, the Mediator of a better covenant, and willing to be reconciled with Israel and step into the eternal “Abraham covenant” with You!
• The Ordination of Bahrain and Dubai : Father, thank You for ordaining Bahrain and Dubai to spearhead this plan. Although it is illegal in Dubai to “evangelize the local people”, the main structure of a world-famous sailing hotel in Dubai is a giant cross, which seems to declare: Dubai is destined to belong to Jesus Christ! The ancient well of Bahrain (meaning water inside and outside), which has been hidden for a long time, will now spew out a living spring of water in Christ, to moisten the Arabian Peninsula and beyond in the hands of God. In the hands of the Father, all good things are possible!

In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Pray for Native Americans: Arise and Resound!

【Current Affairs: In these times, I believe the Lord is INCREASING and RELEASING His voice, with great authority, through His “first fruits” people groups of the land.

Related Events and Prayer Background

Editorial Special Section: Chris Reed: The House That God Is Building

Message : Chris Reed   Original Source : Elijah List   Date: October 10, 2020  Source : Kingdom Prayer Network

“Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, ‘See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.’ Then Nathan said to the king, ‘Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.’

“But it happened that night that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying, ‘Go and tell My servant David, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Would you build a house for Me to dwell in? For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle. Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?”… Also the LORD tells you that He will make you a house.'”‘” (2 Samuel 7:1-7, 11)

This chapter begins with David wanting to build God a house, but God ends with telling David, “I will make you a house.” This happened because David partnered with the purposes of Heaven and wanted what God wanted. Like David, sometimes we all need to abandon our plans and agendas, reexamine what we are doing for the Lord and receive God’s instructions through His prophets.

A Collection of Living Stones

The house God is building today is a temple not made with human hands, but a collection of living stones. Yet today, we see the Church collectively drowning in a flood of human ideas, programs and new initiatives to help build God’s house. Not to diminish anything that God has done elsewhere or in the past, but over the years, many well-meaning people have borrowed ‘bricks’ from Toronto, Brownsville, the Voice of Healing, the Latter Rain, the Pentecostal movement and various other movements trying to build God a house. But what worked in one place does not work everywhere, and what God did in the past may not be the new thing God is doing today.

Moves of God cannot be manufactured. They come by prophetic revelation, by catching a vision for what God is doing and by partnering with the purposes of Heaven.

When John the Baptist preached repentance and the Kingdom of God, he addressed a religious people set in their ways. They had perverted what God had done through previous generations by adding toys, trinkets, rules, regulations and man-made ideas. John commanded them to repent and change how they saw the Kingdom of Heaven. God shook everything that could be shaken, so His Kingdom would remain pure. God does this in every generation.

We can no more borrow bricks from other movements than David could fight Goliath with Saul’s armor. That may have worked for Saul, but Saul wasn’t facing Goliath. Before we initiate anything, we must evaluate whether it is needed or simply dead weight.

Likewise, when we assemble bricks to build God’s house, we must evaluate whether we are building God a habitation or someone else’s graven image of the past. Sure, we can glean from and learn from others, but we cannot take others’ ideas and expect God to bless us as He did them. (Photo via PxHere)

Big box home improvement stores have many prefabricated items to build your house, but that doesn’t work for God’s house. (It was forbidden for a hammer or chisel to be used, and were not even heard, when building God’s house; see 1 Kings 6:7.) Instead, we must want the spiritual change, reformation and transformation God is doing in each of us, as His predestined living stones to build His house.

The political and economic shaking we see happening in the earth right now is merely a reflection of the shaking that’s happening in God’s Church. Judgment begins at the house of God. So, whatever we see happening in the world, began in the Church. God is shaking our Church systems and will continue to shake them until all that remains is the pure Kingdom of God. We are now entering a third great reformation in which God is stripping away everything He never told us to do.

What if God Wants to Build Us Something?

2 Samuel 7 represents an incredible dialogue between God, David and Nathan. David wanted to build God a house. God wanted to build David’s house and wanted His house built in His timing and order, not David’s. David’s blueprint, strategy and business plan was not the Lord’s.

It’s easy to build God’s house with good intentions, but our good intentions just become dead, formal religion when added to God’s simple plan. Like Martha, we can become so encumbered with serving, troubles and anxieties that we miss God’s opportunity to do so much more, simply by sitting at His feet.

God wants to change our thinking. Instead of us trying to build God something, what if God wants to build us something? Instead of giving God our contrived systems, laying them at the altar and saying, “Bless this mess,” what if God wants to change our systems? Instead of asking God to “bless this mess,” ask, “Lord, what are Your blueprints; what are You building?”

The Key to Kingdom Multiplication

Spiritual relationships are key. Most churches have kept Saul and discarded David whom God is using in this hour. David had a spiritual relationship with God. Spiritual relationships are important to Kingdom multiplication, which is what we ultimately want. When healthy men and women come together in healthy marriage relationships, children are born. Kingdom multiplication happens when Christ (the Bridegroom) and the Church (the Bride) have healthy relationships. Souls get saved, the Kingdom progresses and people get trained and equipped without agendas.

The Ten Commandments are all about relationships. The first four are about our relationship with God; the last six are about our relationships with others. The first and second greatest commandments are the same – love God and love your neighbor. This is God’s order for the house He is building.

God Is Moving

David felt bad for living in a house of cedar while God lived in a tent, but God cannot be confined to one place. He cannot be put in a box and kept there because God is always moving and wants to be with His people. In some of the first and last mentions of God in Scripture, He is moving: “…and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters” (Genesis 1:2), and “…’Surely I am coming quickly’…” (Revelation 22:20).

Between the moving of the Spirit in Genesis and the coming of Jesus in Revelation, Romans 8:14 says, “[F]or as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.” We also want to be moving behind God and following Him. Each morning, ask Him: “Who are You speaking to and where are You moving today?” Then plan your day around that. (Photo via Unsplash)

Don’t Forget to Celebrate the Victories

David and God could have a conversation because David was in a place of freedom and rest from his enemies, not in a distracted place of personal warfare. David could not even build God a temple because he had bloody hands. Likewise, many today cannot receive clear direction from God because they’re engaged in never-ending spiritual warfare. Bloody hands can prevent you from building something from God, for God.

Those in a constant state of spiritual warfare, or inner turmoil, fail to make spiritual gains because they fail to take captive their thoughts to the obedience of Christ (see 2 Corinthians 10:5). Yes, put on the armor of God; yes, do spiritual warfare, but don’t get so obsessed with warfare that you forget to celebrate the victories.

Remember, in God’s presence there is “fullness of joy,” and at His right hand are “pleasures forevermore” (see Psalm 16:11). God commanded His people to keep seven annual holidays to take a break from warfare and to feast, celebrate and share God’s redemptive story.

When we get so discouraged or depressed that we lose our joy, peace, zeal and passion and want to throw in the towel, the devil is the one taking ground, not us. But it’s more than just taking a break from warfare. Remember, God never led the Israelites into battle using normal methods. He first sent the worshipers, which we can do when we know God is fighting with and for us.

God Wants You to Work WITH Him, not for Him

God responded through Nathan the prophet to David’s pure and lofty goals of building God a house, saying, “…’Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?'” (see 2 Samuel 7:5). God is not impressed with our good intentions, but by our desire to partner with Him. David wanted to build God a house; God wanted to build David’s house for the coming Messiah.

And when the Messiah came, He said, “…I [not you] will build My Church; and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18, emphasis added), and, “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:30). God doesn’t want us to work for Him but with Him. “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it…” (Psalm 127:1) now takes on a whole new meaning.

God will continually shape and mold us into His image so that we are not only positioned to become His habitation on Earth but also His New Jerusalem in the coming age. Never lose hope knowing you are part of the house God is building.

Special Editorial Section: Veronica West: 7 Years of Abundant Supply for My Righteous Remnant

Message : Veronica West Original Source: Elijah List   Date: October 1, 2020 

Seven Years of Abundance in the Midst of Famine

In the early hours of the morning on September 24, 2022, I heard the Father say, “Watch! For the next seven years there will be short supply for the wicked, as I strip the stiff-necked and rebellious of their wealth and fortunes.

“Yes! But watch, for in the midst of famine, there shall be seven years of abundant supply for My righteous remnant! For that which was stored up by the hands of the wicked shall now be given into the hands of My righteous ones.

“Watch! For this will be that which has long been prophesied by the mouths of My prophets, for now a great transfer of wealth has begun.”

A Line in the Sands of Time

As I heard those words, I saw an hourglass come up before me, and I saw the grains of sand within the hourglass; the grains looked as if they were suspended in time.

Then I heard these words: “A divine, pregnant pause…nations in the Valley of Decision; nations in midst of birthing!”

Suddenly, I saw the finger of God come down and draw a line in the sands of time, and I heard these words: “The battle lines have been drawn! For it is time to draw a line in the sand.

“Look! For the old has gone! Behold, I do a new thing! Do you see it? For it now springs forth!”

Seed Time and Harvest

Suddenly I saw the grains of sand begin to fall again, and a great acceleration started to take place within the hourglass; the grains of sand began to fall rapidly.

Then I watched as the grains of sand became grains of seed, and I heard these words: “Seed time and harvest have begun! For the days are here when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman, and the planter by the one treading grapes! (Photo via Unsplash)

“New wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills!”

It’s Time for New Wine and Acceleration

Then I saw the seed within the hourglass turn to wine, and I heard these words: “Watch! For the miracle I did at first, where water was turned into wine, so shall I do again in these coming days.

“For even now, a greater acceleration shall move upon the sands of time; for the times and seasons are in My hand.

“Watch as the old wineskins shall fall away, and the new wineskins shall come forth; and I shall pour out My Spirit upon all flesh!”

Two Altars: The Dismantling of the Old and the Rising of the New

After hearing these words, suddenly I saw the mountain of business and government; and a complete dismantling to the financial structures that we have known began to rapidly take place.

I saw an altar rising. It was an altar to the beast, to the kingdom of this world. Then I heard these words: “Watch, for the beginning of a cashless system and society shall suddenly begin to rise. But WATCH!”

Suddenly, I saw a second altar rise; it was an altar to the Kingdom of God. I heard these words: “For two altars will rise in the coming days – one to the beast and one to the King of kings. For I shall raise up a new financial system in the midst of a global financial crisis that will bring forth a great transfer of wealth for the advancement of My Kingdom purposes in the earth!”

Special Editorial Section: Jodie Hughes:”Taiwan, Your Prayers Are Powerful and Your Voice Is Bold!”

Message : Jodie Hughes Original Source : Elijah List   Date: October 11, 2020 Source : Kingdom Prayer Network

You Are Called for Such a Time as This

A word to the Taiwanese Church:

The Lord is with you and He loves you. He has heard your cry and His heart is toward you.

Taiwan, you are in an Esther 4:14 moment. For such a time as this, you have been called. I hear the Lord saying that all you have walked through, and all that you have battled and faced in the past – it has been unto this moment. You’ve been forged in the fire and made into a sharp weapon for this very hour. What would have broken others has made you strong, and supernatural strength is being added to you.

“…And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)

The Lord has heard your prayers and they are shifting things over your nation. Even in the turbulence, your prayers are affecting outcomes. It is a time to release a bold rally of intercession. Let the call go out: It’s time to pray! Let the call go out: It’s time to battle in the heavenlies! Let the call go out: It’s time to fast and pray!

For such a time as this, the Lord has prepared you in the battles of last season. All that you have walked through and all that you have learned has been preparation for now.

It is a time of spiritual war, and in a time of war, priorities shift. It is a time to focus on storming Heaven as the God of angel armies wars with you. This is not a battle primarily fought through man’s armies or diplomacy; this is a battle cry to the Church. Arise, army of the Lord. Let the call go out! You have been called into the King’s service for such a time as now.

Pray with expectation of walls falling. Let out a shout. Intercede and cry out for the nation. Just as Esther was brought to her position for the very moment her nation needed a mediator, so too is the Taiwanese Church in such a moment now. Let the call go out! You have been preserved for such a time as this – to war for your nation in prayer. You are stronger than you think and your voice is more powerful than you realize.

The War Over Souls

Right now there is a war over souls in Taiwan, and over your call as a gateway for the Gospel to the East. There is urgency for souls. I see coordinated prayer strikes and strategies mobilizing an army of Believers for evangelism. The call to win souls is of the highest urgency, and there is an open window right now for this. What was once considered unwanted will now be received with fresh openness. The window is open for harvest. The hearts are ready. The call to win souls is urgent and must not be missed.

The call to prayer for the nation is equally urgent. A fierce, bold, warring intercession is coming on the Taiwanese Church. The prayers will sound more like a battle cry, and abandoned passion will spread. The prayer meeting will be the war room, and the place of birthing revival and miracles as God breaks out in your midst. (Photo via Unsplash)

Your prayers are powerful, Taiwan, and your voice is bold. The Lord is activating a new boldness and courage in your voice. Intimidation and fear are being broken off as they are lies that have sought to squash the bold authority you are called to. You are not timid or scared. You are a bold and strong people that know how to battle in the heavenlies with great authority and effectiveness. The enemy has tried to silence your voice and stifle your confidence, but the Lord says, “It’s time to let the call go out and let a war cry be released from the remnant.”

Your Shout Is Releasing Zeal to Prevail!

Taiwan is a free people, and you are free to pray and intercede. Let the call go out. This is the hour you’ve been prepared for. Let a battle cry be heard from God’s people that rumbles the ground. Shout, as walls still come down at the sound of prophetic praise and prayer. Shout, as God is stirring up His zeal in the Church of Taiwan!

“The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies.” (Isaiah 42:13)

Pick Up Your Faith Like a Stone and Slay Giants

While in prayer, I saw a picture of David and Goliath. This is a David and Goliath battle season, where the fight seems bigger than the resources, strength or people available. However, I hear the Lord saying to the remnant, “Lift your eyes from focusing on the battle between government and human agendas and authorities, or against ‘flesh and blood,’ as this is a wrestle ‘…against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms’ (Ephesians 6:12). This is a wrestle to set the captives free.”

Just as God partnered with the faith of David, He is partnering with the faith of the believing Church. Pick up your faith and throw it like a stone at the true enemy, binding intimidation and releasing boldness, freedom and righteousness. Taiwan shall be saved. Souls shall rush in. Revival shall break out. The Church shall release a shout that slays giants.

I hear the Lord encouraging you. As David killed the bear and later killed the lion, this trained, equipped and prepared him for the coming season. David’s victories over the bear and lion also protected his father’s flock. You have done well, Church of Taiwan. You’ve protected the flock and all that God has been establishing in your midst. You have loved well and fought well and discipled well. You have grown the flock and healed their hearts. You have overcome much and done so with great grace. You have truly been forged through the fire of persecution and cost, and have grown strong as you faithfully served Jesus.

After David’s tests of the lion and bear came the battleground of Goliath; and just as David was prepared by his journey, so are you prepared for such a time as now. This challenge you face – just like the story of David and Goliath – is not just for the flock, but now for the nation.

Taiwan Shall Be Established as a Gateway Nation to the East

This battle is for the prophetic destiny of Taiwan. You have already been prepared and now is the time to let out a shout that brings downs walls and scatters the enemy. Shout, Taiwan! Arise and release a war cry. Call to the North, South, East and West. Arise, Taiwan! (Photo via Piqsels)

Taiwan shall be established as a gateway nation of revival fire to the East. The God of Angel Armies is sending reinforcements. Angel armies are hearkening to the call of your prayers and declarations. Arise Taiwan. The war man speaks of is but distraction from the war the devil is stirring to keep the Taiwanese Church bound in paralysis, and souls lost for eternity. Instead, Taiwan, you will see revival shake and break the enemy’s plans in Taiwan as your bold, prevailing shout of faith arises.

You Are Not Outnumbered – A Remnant Is Enough!

This battle is for the nation of Taiwan, but not as you suppose. Declare war on the true enemy, who is after the very eternal destiny of your people, and the birthing of a generation with hearts after God. Taiwan is called as a missionary nation – a gateway nation to the East. Taiwan, you will increasingly send many missionaries to the East and beyond; however, the battle is won in the war room of prayer.

The call is going out! Arise, warrior Church of Taiwan! Arise, faithful saints whose hearts are after God just like David’s! Your strength is your pure heart after God and worship that rumbles the ground. Arise, faithful Church of Taiwan! You are not outnumbered. A remnant is enough. The Lord fights with you and partners with your prayers. Call in a harvest of souls NOW. Now is the time of harvest, not later – NOW. Now is the time of intercession, not later. Now is the time to press in for revival, not later. Now is the time to cry out for your sons and daughters, not later. Let the call go out. It’s time to war in the heavenlies and arouse your zeal.

The Lord Loves You, Taiwan

The Lord loves you, Taiwan. The Lord loves you, faithful remnant. He sees you, He is with you and He is watching over you. I hear Him say, “Arise and break off the shackles of intimidation. Arise and shout!”

For such a time as this, you are called to service of the Lord. This is about the salvation of your people. This is about the call on your nation as a gateway of the Gospel to the East. This is about the arising generation that is called to change the landscape of Taiwan for Jesus. I hear the marching of the armies of the Lord and the trumpets blast… Taiwan is called as a nation that unashamedly serves Jesus.

Arise, mighty warriors of the King. Your prayers are shifting more than you know. Let the call go out! YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED INTO THE SERVICE OF THE KING! For such a time as this, you have been made ready. Let the call go out! You are enlisted into the army of King Jesus.

Fresh oil is being poured out. Receive this oil, as it is anointing you with grace and strength for this season.

I bless you, prevailing remnant and Church of Taiwan.

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheet: The Rewarding  Pursuit

Message : Dutch Sheets  Date: October 10, 2022   Source: GiveHim15

Ceci loves to garden. While living in Colorado, her painstaking efforts were challenged, at best. Long winters, the ground never really warming up while living at 7500 feet, and summer nights always being in the 50-60’s – even during the months of July and August – made gardening nearly impossible. Therefore, tomato plants and potted herbs lined our back deck. It was a bit frustrating to a Mississippi farm girl not to be able to have her own garden with fresh-grown vegetables.

Editorial Special Section: Continue “The Joy of His Presence”

Because it’s about what God is about to release on earth ; the coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit will be the biggest “God’s Presence movement” in history, Dutch said . … The degree of our heart connection with Abba’s Heavenly Father determines the results that can be produced in the kingdom of God. He wants partners and family, not hired labor. Therefore, an intimate knowledge of Jehovah should be the highest goal in our lives;… (Click here for the full text .)

“The Joy of His Presence ” has 30 chapters, which were shared in the post “Give Him Fifteen Minutes”, each of which is gripping, and it seems that Heavenly Father is pulling our hearts through Dutch’s words. We encourage everyone to read one a day, savor it, and may the Holy Spirit add to our desire to connect with the Father.

We have organized it briefly for your convenience. You can read it from the main options of this website, as shown in the image below:

God desires to live with us. The Feast of Tabernacles has just passed, let us continue to walk with God every day and enjoy the joy of God’s presence.

Pray for America: Fires of Awakening Coming to the East Coast

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from Dutch Sheets’ post on October 5, in which God gave the prophetic revivalist, Miriam Evans’ dream.  It’s about fires spreading from Florida to the entire East Coast, along I-95 all the way to Maine. This is a very inspiring dream, to read the full text click here.

【Current affairs background: In 2018, while ministering in Miami, Florida, I had a disturbing conversation with a pastor. He had been told by an influential Christian leader that Miami was considered a ‘pastor’s graveyard,’ due to the lack of spiritual hunger and zeal on the East Coast.

Processing this statement later that night, I could not accept it; I felt it was a false prophetic word. ‘Holy Spirit, show me what Jesus paid for in that region,’ I prayed. He responded by giving me a dream – that very night!

In the dream, I was at a beach in Miami. A large foot and leg appeared, touching the shore of Florida. This being was so large I could only see his foot and leg; the rest of his body was above the clouds. I heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘This is the Angel of Awakening.’ I immediately remembered the passage in Zechariah 4 where an angel ‘awakened [Zechariah] like a man who is awakened out of his sleep,’ (verse 1). The angel then delivered to Zechariah a message about God reviving the nation of Israel.

As the angel stepped on the shores of Florida, a fire ignited and immediately ran up the eastern corridor of America, from Miami to Maine. I then heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘This land [the East Coast] will be known as the “Land of The Rising SON.”’

I woke up knowing that Jesus paid for this nation to be revived, and HE had the final word over the East Coast, as well as our entire nation. Then I heard the Holy Spirit speak Malachi 4:2, ‘But for you who fear My name, the Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.’

I have held that word in my heart since 2018. In May of this year, I began asking God where we should partner with Him to see revival in America. In response, I kept seeing a mental picture of an I-95 sign. Since I live in Dallas, Texas, and we do not have that interstate here, I was unfamiliar with its location. So, I did what any spiritual person would do and Googled, ‘Where is I-95?’

To my surprise, I saw that Interstate 95 runs from Miami, Florida, to Maine. I then heard the Lord say, ‘Now is the time for the fulfillment of the vision I gave you in 2018. The work begins now.’

Since that time, my husband and I, along with Larry Sparks, have made an intentional effort to advance the Kingdom and contend for revival along the I-95 corridor. We have discovered that along the East Coast, a supernatural hunger has been released, and grace for revival has been imparted. This hunger is one of the signs that a mighty awakening is imminent.

The Holy Spirit is preparing the church for greater glory, through which the manifest presence of God will be seen and felt in this region and across our nation. This tsunami wave of glory will usher in miracles, signs and wonders. The ‘greater works’ Jesus spoke of in John 14:12 will be seen. These miracles will be a ‘sickle’ used to gather a harvest for King Jesus. This wave is rising. NOW is the time to prepare, act, and gather – for the harvest is here!

Dutch shared this very pointed word: “Illinois is My apostolic state.”  For Illinois to move fully to the apostolic anointing, it will have to transition to another level of strength, understanding and maturity.

There will need to be more connecting, another level of networking in the state. Breakthroughs and deliverance are going to come and people will be set free.  The Lord says, “The grace is coming on the place.”  Decree that there is a connecting of the Body of Christ coming in Illinois that is going to another level.  Dutch continued prophesying, “God has a phase of learning and another level of the glory. He wants to begin to unfold on you  that God is inside of you, to be God inside-of-you minded everywhere you go. Illinois will be known as the place where the river of God dwells. The Lord said through Dutch, “I will deal with religion and religious form in this state.  I am shaking the established churches and ministries in the region.  Ask for My mercy for them, but do not ask for mercy for the structure.  Ask for restoration of heart.

(14) Indiana: (Hoosier State)  Motto: The Crossroads of America     The First-Strike State

Indiana, God is dreaming about you! (spoken by Will Ford III)  Dutch said that there is something to do with firsts.  First strikes that have to do with Indiana that are first for the nation.  First Strike places have to do with the miraculous profession, the supernatural element that comes and begins to multiply. Maybe there is a First Fruits movement of harvest coming here.  Maybe where God is about to strike first is this younger generation and the revival in the college campuses.  I saw the fire of God going from place to place and saw very clearly Notre Dame but not limited to one place. I saw a move of God’s Spirit literally overwhelm the universities…it was a first strike, coming with such ferocity..fire of cleansing, fire of trials, holiness movement…miracles..a rolling move of fire that could not be stopped! He asked if Indiana would be would be a First strike state. First strike people have to be people who insist on heavenly strategy  Chuck then said, “You are at a crossroads right now.  You are either going to be found wanting, or you are  going to come into what God has for you and make a shift this time and not go back.. Then I saw secret societies that are so entrenched in this state.  May the Church be anointed in a new way.”  

Pray that Indiana will go all in for what God is calling them to do.  Call forth the cleansing revival fire of God sweeping through colleges to forever change Indiana and continue through the whole nation!

(15) Iowa: (Hawkeyes)  Motto: Our Liberties We Prize & Our Rights We Will Maintain Corn State-Supply & Release

 The Lord said through Chuck Pierce, “The corn belt states are going to rise up and learn a new way of releasing.  

Chuck prophesied, “The Lord says, “You will release food.  You will release funds.  You will release revelation for times that are ahead.’ There will be a shift in the economic system, but it’s a sign for this particular state.  In Iowa, in the days ahead, you are about to be broken open in a way like never before.  The Lord would say, “From this state, Babylon will begin to change.  For I will make a supernatural connection from the cornfields to the supply from this state that will change the course of the Church in Iraq.  Do not look at the confusion that is going on in that land.  For here in Iowa, you will a supernatural authority to defeat Babylon in days ahead.  The Lord would say to you, “Change is now upon this state.  What has been asleep, now will wake up.  I will have a people that begin to rise before the sun and make decrees, so that the order that I have for this state will be made.  I will have a praying group that rises every morning in the north, south, east and west corners.  They will rise up and make their decree. And from that decree, I will bring to birth My very purpose in this state.  And even though you have been submerged under Michigan and Wisconsin, I say that Iowa is now rising to the attention of this nation.”

Pray for Israel: Celebrate Sukkot daily

【Current Events: Sukkot is one of the three major Jewish festivals. This year’s Sukkot starts from October 9th and ends on the 16th. Except for the past two years due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, this year thousands of Christians from all nations come to Jerusalem to celebrate this time.

The tradition of Sukkot

This tradition originally originated from God’s command to Moses ( Numbers 29:12-35 ), from which the Jews understood that they should serve as priests for the nations, offer specific sacrifices at the Feast of Tabernacles, and pray that the Gentiles would know The one true God, the Creator and the God of Israel. Later, when King Solomon dedicated his temple at the Feast of Tabernacles, the Gentiles already cried out to God in prayer ( 2 Chronicles 6:32-33 ). Therefore, Jerusalem will be called “the house of prayer of all nations” ( Isaiah 56:7 and Matthew 21:13 ). Thus, this tradition inspired the anticipation of Israel and welcomed the Gentiles to Jerusalem to worship God at the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Jews celebrated the teaching of the Gentiles about the law of God.

Concerning the Second Coming of the Lord

The Feast of Tabernacles is the third pilgrimage day of the year. The Jews must go to Jerusalem to observe the feast and meet God. At this time, they not only commemorate God’s provision in the wilderness, but also look forward to the promised Messianic age, and look forward to the future when all nations will pour into Jerusalem. (See Isaiah 2:1-4 and Micah 4:1-3 )

As Christians, we do have good reasons to celebrate Sukkot, to thank God for the provision in our lives, and especially to thank the Holy Spirit for filling us. We, too, can rejoice at the abundance of souls that are taking place around the world today. For Christians, these are the best and most fitting reasons to celebrate Sukkot. The Bible also promises that on that day all nations will come to Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Tabernacles. The prophet Zechariah foresaw a day when the nations would come yearly to Jerusalem “to worship the great King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles . “ ( Zech 14:16 ) This is about the second coming of the Lord. (Source: ICEJTTaiwan)

Celebrating Sukkot every day

Revelation 21:3 “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God..” God desires to live with His people throughout the earth, to live with us, not just at the Feast of Tabernacles. His intention was to have an intimate relationship with people, walking with God as Adam did.

“God’s tabernacle  among men” means that God’s address is written in people’s lives, so Isaiah 61:1 means that not only the Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me, but the Spirit of the Lord dwells in us. If the Lord dwells in us, we become a person who is sensitive to God. When we are more sensitive to God than to the world, to the problems, to the people around us, or to the activities of the world, we can truly be built up with God, as in Revelation 21:3 , “the tabernacle of God is among men .” Intimate relationship, become a “ God-man “ , live, dwell, breathe, walk, and work with Him every day, so that His will is done on earth as it is in heaven!

Pray for Israel: Watching for Israel’s Election Season

【Current affairs background: Since the resignation of former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in late June, the parliament has been dissolved and the post of Prime Minister has been temporarily replaced by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid until a new parliament is elected. Israel will begin voting on November 1. That means Israel will have one of the longest election seasons ever, its fifth in three and a half years.

On this electoral board, political pieces are being moved. Some politicians are uniting with others because of various interests. At present, the election is still deadlocked, but the results of the primary election of the Israel Coalition Party (Likud, also known as the Likud Party) have been announced, and Netanyahu has won and once again becomes the leader of the Likud Party. However, Netanyahu is still facing trial in three cases involving bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The trial has been delayed for several years with no clear outcome.

Prolonged political uncertainty can be confusing, but there is no doubt that the Lord is treating Israel in a different way, allowing Israel to manage to move forward without a strong central leadership. After all, God is the “King” of Israel who has been watching over the nation and its people. Let’s pray together that God’s will for Israel will be done.
