Thank you, before I pray, I want to say one thing, the whole sernerial played out last year, was by God, not by man, for you to see the whole thing behind the veil. He wants you to see where our nation is and how carless our leaders are, they have one desire to be part of the new world order, and their government is communism.
Editor’s Note: Dutch Sheets: The Dress Rehearsal – Good Friday
Message: Dutch Sheets Date: April 2, 2021 Source: GiveHim15
In Genesis 12, God planted a great dream in Abraham’s heart. By the time we get to Genesis 22, his dream is alive and doing very well. God has given him land, livestock, a large staff, great wealth, and, most importantly, Isaac, through whom the promise of becoming a great nation would occur. The Lord and Abraham had walked together for many years and were close friends. But the strength of their relationship would be challenged one more time. The test would be a huge one and would become the pinnacle of their relationship, proving once and for all Abraham’s amazing confidence in and loyalty to God.

Pray for United States: An Urgent Call to Action
Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 3/30 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” from Dutch Sheets, the intercession leader. “I invite you to join me every day and pray for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes”, comment, and then we will pray together. When we “petition to heaven” for the United States, you can join us here.
【Background: Some issues we take up on our posts are not pleasant to deal with; this is one of them, but trust me when I say we MUST pray and take action on this issue. It is HR 5 – the [In]Equality Act. The church slept when prayer was removed from our schools and abortion was made the law of our land. We will not sleep through this one. …Detailed Reading】
- Matthew 18:5-6 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
【PRAYER】
- Raise up the Church to Pray and Take Action: Heavenly Father, HR5 [No] The Equality Act is an open door that allows enemies to enter the United States and cause great damage. When prayers was removed from schools at all levels in the 1960s, and when abortion became the law of the country in the 1970s, the church fell asleep, but this time, the church will not sleep anymore. Please raise up the body of Christ to pray and take action! Pastors are stirred up to eagerly teach the congregation about all aspects of this bill, and connect other bodies of Christ to boldly rise up and take action to save the United States.
- We, in the Name of Jesus Christ,
- Bind the enemy’s attempts to subvert and destroy all the conspiracies and plans of the godly foundation of the United States.
- Release the angels to fight for the United States, awaken the church, and guide the various government departments in the United States to do God’s will.
- Declare that the American church is no longer asleep!
- Declare that the American church Ecclesia will rise and unite, to pray with one heart, and take action together!
- Declare that the American people will wake up and rise up to resist policies that do not conform to God’s will.
- Declare that God will restore a government that is righteous, merciful, and God-fearing in the United States!
In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed“

Pray For First Nations
Pray for the Natives of North America: The Rise of The First Nation – Strategies for Spiritual Warfare
【Background: In recent years, under the leading of God , the East Coast Chinese have connected and communicated with key First Nation leaders, and pray together online every week, establishing a relationship like family. Since 2016, one of the First Nation leaders that came into contact with the East Coast Chinese is Lockley Bremner from Blackfeet. He is an elder that has the heart of the father, he is also a writer with a kingdom mindset. After a family gathering in Washington, D.C. in February 2020, he understood the true meaning of the Homecoming gathering and saw how God raised up Chinese to help the First Nation to enter into their destiny with sincerity, so he was completely committed to this journey with the Chinese. God further moved him to write articles such as “The Rise of Indigenous Peoples-Strategies for Spiritual Warfare”. The following is Lockley’s sharing: …Click to Read More 】

Editor’s Note: Nita Johnson: The Key that Release the Activities of the Prophetic Words
Information : Nita Johnson Date: April 1, 2021 Source: EncounterU
[Nita’s sharing at the beginning]
We will pray together again tonight. First of all, I want to thank you for coming, and I hope you can also pray with us tomorrow night. This is a very important week, and it is also the beginning of the next very important weeks. I am sure from our intercession, especially tonight’s intercession, our country will begin to change.
Over the past few months, the Lord has given Ricci and me many prophetic words. I can’t tell you all of them. We won’t pray for them one by one because there are too many, but we are going to pray some of the prophetic prayers given by the Lord Himself. When we pray, it’s like releasing the key to make prophetic words work . This is what the Lord has prepared for us in prayer. He wants to start releasing something in our country and government. .
The enemy can only do a little bit of destruction. I started to see what will happen in the United States a few years ago. I can’t believe what He showed me is so serious. As mentioned in my book “Preparing for the Wind of Change”, even if the pastors read this book, they will tell me that they cried for the whole book. It is prophetic. It is a word given to us by angels, God the Father, and Jesus. It is a very important book for us in this period. Even today, after so many years, we can see that it has already happened. What is happening, and what will happen. However, despite these preparations, the Lord continues to speak to us and continues to help us understand what the elites are planning to destroy this country.
By the way, we are not the only country that has become the target of their attacks. The entire African continent has fallen. There is a lot of wealth that the elites crave, but they don’t want to spend money to buy it, so they want to eliminate the population there so they can get their wealth. Therefore, I really want to encourage everyone, if the burden of praying for African countries is placed on you, the Lord’s will is that before these outrageous things start to happen in these countries, the Lord always hopes to bring about revival. This is done to win many souls from the enemy for his kingdom.
Back to America, the enemy wants America, but the Lord will not give it. If He can bring His church to pray, to pray before His throne is still very important, He can see the church praying, and He can hear the cry of the church, and He will intervene. The deeper and more earnest is our cry, the greater the divine intervention will be. We don’t need it earnestly 400 years from now, but now. Because the elite had begun their plan, they wanted to implement the entire plan by 2015, but we prayed for it at the gathering, and in any form of prayer meeting. As you can see, the Lord has intervened. Therefore, He wants to do it again. He has not given up America yet. He has claimed many souls that belong to Him at this moment. If these people understand what it means to be a Christian, they will love Christ, serve Him, and honor Him.
The Lord wants to do some great things in this country, reform, revival, restoration, regain, etc. If He can use us to labor for the United States and for the wealth of heaven, then He will be able to take the United States back from the hands of the enemy. The visions that Ricci and I will share tonight about the vortex are the destruction plan that the enemy has planned to implement. Please listen very attentively and carefully, and pray very eagerly, because the enemy’s plan will not succeed. Let us stop and intervene in their plans through prayer. However, no matter what we have to experience as a nation now, we have to experience it, because God wants to bring out a nation that is as fine gold after being tried.
Intercessors, please listen to me, God has not failed our prayers. He leads this country through trials, just like gold being tested. It is very important to him. He wants to use the people of this country to spread the gospel to the nations on earth. We only need to participate in witnessing a wonderful and incredible harvest. Bring great joy to the Lord. When I was talking to my daughter Ricci, she was telling me about some different experiences, the Lord suddenly said to me: I hope you will share these experiences and more with the intercessor. I hope you will use what I have revealed. Pray about the two of you so that the intercessor can release, turn the key, and release these things to the earth.
Therefore, we will have at least two or four nights, these two weeks and the next two weeks. We will pray through the visions and experiences the Lord has given. We will explain the visions or experiences to you, and then we will pray for them so that you can understand what we are praying for. We will pray for these things in the next few weeks, maybe three weeks, and we will turn these things into prophetic actions.
My dear friend, this is the time we have been waiting for. Don’t be discouraged, don’t forget, and abide by the Lord’s promise, because He will honor your faith, and He will reward you for everything you are willing to do for the kingdom of God and for America Prayers for the need. Therefore, He desires to bless your sacrifice.
But we must get the job done. Therefore, thank you again for standing with us. Please pay attention to everyone who will pray and speak. When it is time to pray, pray with us, pray with passion, pray with confidence, pray with love and joy. , The Lord will honor our prayers. Thank you, in the precious holy name of the Lord Jesus.
[Nita’s ending Prayer]
Lord, how great You are, You are worthy to be praised. Who can ascend to the hill of the Lord? Those have clean hands and pure hearts, Lord, who can be like You? Strategy and power, holy and majesty. Who is as powerful as the Lord our God, the King of the earth? We want to praise You loudly, my lord. We glorify You in Your love. You took our sins on the cross. You are our king, our God, and our Lord. You have been the master of destiny from eternity, You are the master of the future, the never-ending God. You have such a wonderful plan, so rich, beyond our understanding and our comprehension. What are You prepared to do, and how much have You paid to establish the foundation of Your kingdom on earth. Lord, You endured the sting of death for us, You endured the hatred of people, their humiliation to God the Father. You have taken everything for Your church, You have taken everything for us, Lord. The lamb was slain from the earth and You are worthy of all praise. You ask God the Father for this country. God the Father said “Okay.” He gave You this country on the cross. Thank You, thank our king, thank our Lord, thank You for giving us such a gentle counselor, Teach us to learn and grow humbly, learn to work in the power of Your presence on the earth.
May we be cautious and humble, Lord, as You did, take up our cross. May we love Your strategy, Your instruction, Your work, may Your words, the humiliation of the Holy Spirit, that You may be exalted. Because You have said: If You are lifted up, You will attract thousands of people to You (cf. John 12:32 ). We don’t care about human love, what we care about is the one that love You, a man, a woman, a child, those who are thrown into the dregs, Lord, human trafficking, sex trafficking, etc., and be cleansed by Your spirit even more, healed by Your love, and receive eternal life again.
My heavenly Father, my Father, my heart is burning, it is burning with love for You, who can love like You, who understands like You, Your love is so great, so powerful, So wise, so comforting. Who can resist the elect? Because you have become their god. If God is with us, who can resist the chosen ones? Thank You Lord, thank You Lord, thank You Lord for Your promises, thank You for surrounding us with Your words, thank You Lord for giving us the eternal Holy Spirit, the life in the Holy Spirit, thank the Lord for the power of love, making us one, and let us know Your Glory.
I told the churches throughout the country, to look to Jesus. He will make your light shine and make your heart surrender to Him. He will do great things in you and through you. Oh, the church must arise in holiness and glory. May America arise in the Lord’s eternal plan. May the transformation of these days turn this country into a beautiful thing in Your eyes that we will be in awe and give You praise. We long for the world to look at You because we manifest Your glory, not out of our richess, but from the wealth we have in You.
Father God, my heart is burning like fire to know You,. Yes, to know You deeper than before, Lord, my heart burns in me, remove everything that prevents me from knowing You, purify me in Your fire, pour out Your love and holy fire In me, may those who walk with me love You deeply. They don’t know their right hand from the left. They only know one thing, that is, Christ the Messiah will redeem us with His blood. He offered Himself as a sacrifice and gave us joy.
What a mighty loving and merciful God, may the nations know Your holiness, Your glory, Your majesty, may foolish people see You because of what You do and rejoice in the great work You have done. God, who can be like our God? so glorious, so majestic, so beautiful, and so merciful. Lord, who can be like You? We have searched the world, and no one can compare to You. We search the heavens, even the heavens, and none of them can compare to You. Tonight, we bow our knees before You, we have no offense in our hearts, we work hard to learn from You, Lord, to learn from You more deeply.
I see you standing here, my savior, You are so humble, You are so gentle. You are so beautiful, so humble, so gentle, so holy, You are so beautiful. My Savior, how You love the people on earth. You have no regret at all, You will not regret the drop of blood shed. You only know when people are rescued from the enemy, Your heart will be filled with joy. How joyful they will be with You in eternity. Lord, You have come to seek and save the lost, redeem them from the slavery of sin, and walk with You in glory. The redemption You offer, the redemption You promised, Your redemption for those who look to and trust in Your name.
No one can compare with You, Lord, there is no one like You. Oh Lord, I love You so much, all of us and those who are online, Lord, we love You so much, it is unbearable, heartbreaking love, the power of Your love, the river of Your love, Your divine glory , Your beautiful simplicity. Lord, I thank You for making the nations of the earth know Your righteousness, because the enemy has been judged according to Your righteousness, may Your righteousness heal the whole earth to Your people, may they breathe deeply in the beauty of Your glory, may they live Please please You, Lord, may that day You come on the earth, people look to You, those who learn to hate their sins look to You, they are full of light, shining with Your glory, we respect You, we respect You.
We whisper Your name, Lord. The world is silent, looking for who is their king, who is You the Messiah, and You undergird the church. Lord, send Your Son Jesus to us to make us Your glorious children, that is what You are doing. Although we have wars, disappointments, retreats, and unexpected things, please keep us from losing faith in the Lord who created us. Whatever happened and is happening, will bring us into Your plan and purpose, the heavens will rejoice, and each step brings us closer to the whole picture. The things that are about to happen are much more than that, Lord, what You are doing is preparing us for revelation. We thank You for this, Father God, and we thank You. It will be much greater than we thought.
President Trump, his family and his government will stand in the midst. You will use him to bring America back to Christ. You will use him to be the healer of this country. Your Holy Spirit flows out through him and does what no one can do. This is the wisdom in your life. Lord, you make me weep often. You know the right path. If you take the path on the left, but it won’t accomplish what needs to be done. We leave America to you to manage, so we will go out with You, because We trust you, our nation trusts You, Lord, You come to sit on the throne of this country and be our Lord and King.
Lord, son of Your heavenly Father, You are the messenger of God, we thank You for the gift of revelation, and the fruits from this incredible gift, we can know and understand Your time, Your plan, and we know there is nothing to be afraid of, because You are with us, You guide and lead us, we will follow, because we believe in You my savior.
You weep for this country, You weep for this country, You are still the great intercessor, the first intercessor, You are still the head, You weep, You weep for this country, You weep for your church, You are weeping for the the nations on earth that will be destroyed without Your intervention.
I stand with Ricci and the rest of the team that we say to the New World Order: you will not prosper, that you will fall into the traps you have set for others, that you might learn wisdom and righteousness! We will not let you prosper, we will not! America belongs to the churches, and we say to you: Take your hands off! Jesus controls the destiny of this nation, not you! Fear and bow before Him! Let all the people around the earth bow before the mighty name of Jesus and learn wisdom, that your souls might be saved. Take your hands off this nation! No matter what you do, you will fear God for every bit of it, because He is going to restore to a greater measure anything we ever know before and you can’t stop it! We forbade you to even try, for we do not even want to see your failure!.
I thank You Lord Jesus, thank You for dealing with the hearts of those who try to steal this country, just like the boomerang being released and returned again, that is, the boomerang of His holiness, His love, His grace, and His mercy has been released to this nation, it will return to the hands of its savior.
Oh God, what is in Your hand? You will sow for the sower, because You will send the sower to the field to reap the crops (harvest soul). What You have prepared to accomplish Your great work is now being cleansed and washed. I saw You did this, thank You Lord, thank You. You are very careful and caring, You are so incredible, You are opening a way for us where there seems to be no place to go. Your church has nothing to be afraid of. The work You do in our days will be awesome and worthy of praise. This is so amazing, and I thank You for Your grace to enable me to walk with You. Lord, we have not given up, we can carry the weight of Your glory. You send us to walk in purity, we will not be lost, we reject pride, we can walk in high places with You and humility. Jesus, our priest, our high priest, we worship You. Praise God.

Thank you, before I pray, I want to say one thing, the whole sernerial played out last year, was by God, not by man, for you to see the whole thing behind the veil. He wants you to see where our nation is and how carless our leaders are, they have one desire to be part of the new world order, and their government is communism.
He wants all of us to see, so that no one in our nation, saved or unsaved, can say they didn’t know, they would have done something if they had known. He wants us to see without going into the oven, So, please in the next period of time, as the time rolls on for just a little while, it will not be long, I promise you, I want to strongly encourage you not to feel that God has failed us, and don’t let the enemy plant that lies in your mind, please rather the goodness of God is revealing the truth of the plan of the enemy before our very eyes, and He will help us in victory.
In fact, He has already given us the victory, in this land. He has given us the land, we are standing in the position of Abraham. The Lord said: This is the land I gave you and your family as an inheritance. But someone has to walk out in taking the land as an inheritance, some one has to put their feet on the land to take it as inheritance. This is where God is taking us, He is saying: I have given America to the church, but the church must as Riccii said, must arise, stand and marshall under the Lord, must stand in faith, move in love, move in joy, move in faithfulness, and move in appreciation to the what the Lord has given us.
We have all been called to play a part, for everyone on this phone line, I have no idea what it is going to be, I only have a very good idea of what mine is, but we are going to be called to do what the Spirit of the Lord wants us to do. We need to ensure whatever He has given us is being held by the soldiers of the great king. Please trust, please believe, please don’t let the enemy deceive your minds, but stand with the church, even when the church disagrees, stand. David went out to win the war, with just only a handful of people, while Israel stood there and said: I don’t agree with that. David did not argue, he just did what the Lord told to do, and Israel won the victory that day.
So, we cannot even listen to the narratives of our brothers. If their narratives oppose the narratives of God, we must choose to believe, He is not going to let the enemy destroy this nation or the church in this nation. Out of the love of God who sent His Son to the cross, He will give it to you to hold on to the nation that is given to the church. Please in your daily prayers hold on to this promise.
Now, I am going to bow my head to God to see what He has us to do now. Please join me.
Lord, my Savior. so many times tonight, I have felt Your presence. As this one or that one was praying, I am very glad that You have joined us. Just a few minutes ago, I saw the angel You have sent to help us finish out the night. His presence is also very strong. If I understand it correctly, He is going to lead a battalion out tonight to begin a special work in regards to all that we’ve prayed. He is here to take part in our victory and help us. If I understand You correctly, I know I do, but for the sake of those who are listening.
You are the mighty God, You are the king, You are the glorious of heaven, You are the glory of all there is, and You are the glory of the earth. The enemy is trying to bury us. You are holding fast to Your promises to America. Your promises will not fail. You are not God that You can tell a liar. You are not a God that will tell us one thing and do another. This is not Your way. But You are going to raise up an army at this hour, and that is going to work with You and help fulfill Your promise of blessings to the people of this nation, and subsequently to bring blessings to the people all over the earth.
Lord, with Your eagle, and You are working with people of faith. You are working with people that refuse to accept less than what You those who are determined to get all that You’ve promised . You are working to build their hearts and strengthen their will. You are working so their eyes can see what You see, their hearts know what You know, and their minds know what you know. You are working with them every minute and every day with Your church to strengthen her and bring her out into victory. You are the captain of the host, dear Jesus, You will lead the faithful warriors who are willing to follow You. You are willing to take on the task of bringing the American church to victory. They begin to pour out love for people all over the world.
We know not, we don’t understand Your ways But this we do know that You are God and You are the God of all. You are the Lord, You are the Lord of all those who are willing to walk in faith and in purity. Lord, You send Your words to lead the way You send Your spirit to be the counselors of our hearts, to bring us through. No enemies formed against us can prosper, no weapons the enemy formed against us will prosper If God is for us, who can be against us? Who can be against us if God is on our side. Your spirit searches the deep profound bottomless things of God so that He can give us what we need. To know You dear Lord, our savior, to pull us away from the world, the way of the world from its way, its rebellion ways. To know You and You alone.
Forgive us for wanting yards and yards, miles and miles of information., forgive us and teach us to desire the truth, that what will heal us, strengthen us, and that will make us into Your image. Help us grow up in our minds, in our hearts, in our spirits, to want that is of You and You alone. We were born to be Your children and to bring glory to Your name. Help us to see we cannot run the way of the world. Everywhere we look is a dead end street, a deception revealed that we can’t overcome, because we chose the way of the world, instead of the way of Christ. He said: He came to do Your will. Oh Lord let it be true for us and be true for Your church, that, we come to do Your will, Oh God, we live to obey you, we live to know you, we live to understand Your will , to walk in Your will.
Yeshua Yeshua, You are long suffering, You are kind, You are gentle, You know the end from the beginning, you are the first, and the last, you are the beginning and the end, you know all things. Jesus, You never change, You are the same yesterday, today and forever. We trust You, we choose to trust You when we don’t understand, we trust You, we drink your living water, we drink Your milk, drink Your wine, we eat of Your flesh, so we might bring You glory on this earth.
Lord, my heart is so enlarged in You. Lord, You alone, no desire to take Your glory, You alone are our glory, the glory of our Father. May we be beckon of light to Your glory, may we drink, drink of the fountain of light and life. May the nations of the world see America as a beacon on the hill, not because we know how to entertain our youth, but because we have learned to love God, because we love You, they want to love You. I love You so much, Lord. I love You so much, my heart hurts, and it burns in me to love the truth, the revelation of who You are.
Jesus, Jewah, may we walk in the virtues that make the beauty of who You are. One word from our mouth melted the hearts of those who love You. Without you, I am nothing, I am nothing; without You, I can’t do anything without You. But in You, all things are possible. But of all the things that are possible, we want to bring glory to Your son.
Lord, I bend my knees before You. I just want Your glory, Your glory alone. In the churches of this nation, in the churches throughout earth, You are the glory. We know, one day Your glory will only be seen in judgment and injustice.
We want Your will, whether we understand it or not, we want Your will, and in Your will. You will be glorified. Holy is your name, Holy is your name, Holy is your name, Holy is your name. Holy,… are Your ways, so beautiful, so pure, so holy, Worthy. Worthy are You Oh God, You are to be worshipped, Your fire is so sweet, so beautiful, You are worthy to be praised, worthy to be loved, worthy to be served. Carry me in Your bosom so I will always know Your heart and Your ways. Raise up Your church with the hunger of knowing You, because the son said: this is eternal life and to know thee, the one true God , And Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
Until we love, to know You above all things we have not even touch the beauty and the value of eternal life. Lord, help us, die to self so we can live to You, more of You and less of me. I have nothing to give You, because apart from my will, I have nothing worthy to give You. I ask you to receive it and use it to do whatever You want, just to bring You glory.
You gave me so much, by Your blood, You said this great move is going to come out of the blood of the martyrs, so great is Your love for the martyrs Lord, You want to honor them in this greatest move of God, what a God we have what a great and mighty God we have. Strengthen us and make us wholly Yours; strengthen us with the grace and by Your grace to walk in the humility of Christ. Please show us our proud hearts, our proud minds, and our rebellious ways, show us Lord, so that we might repent and begin to see things through Your eyes and the eyes of our beloved Savior. To walk behind Him following His footsteps.
Jesus said to His disciples: Come follow Me. I want to follow Him and in my following to bring You great joy because You are the strength, power, life and light of my walk. I give You glory, I give You glory. Holiest of all, I give You glory, Worship You, worship You through me. Lord, that I might die so You can live wholly and completely none more than You Lord. Give us the grace and the ability to give honor to Your majestic name Lord. How we love Jesus, how we love Him, we love Him, cause our love to increase, humble ourselves to You Lord, cause it to increase and increase and increase to all that we know.
Lord, Lord, my savior, my lord, my king. We love You, Lord, bless everyone that is on this line, bless their family, bless everyone in the team, on through every intercessor on the line, bless their family, and reveal Yourself to them. Lord, let the spirit of revelation come and unveil to who You really are. Meet their financial needs, meet the needs of their families, heal those bodies that need Your healing, but the most important thing is to heal their spirits, to strengthen their spirits in truth and light.
Thank You, Jesus, thank You for waiting for the angels. This angel in the living room is waiting for the Lord’s instructions. He sent them to start a work tonight to prepare for the prophetic thing that you want Ricci to do next week. , And this will start a whole new cycle, which You will release Your glory in this nation. We praise You. Amen!

Editor’s Note: Dutch Sheets: The Dress Rehearsal – Good Friday
Message: Dutch Sheets Date: April 2, 2021 Source: GiveHim15
In Genesis 12, God planted a great dream in Abraham’s heart. By the time we get to Genesis 22, his dream is alive and doing very well. God has given him land, livestock, a large staff, great wealth, and, most importantly, Isaac, through whom the promise of becoming a great nation would occur. The Lord and Abraham had walked together for many years and were close friends. But the strength of their relationship would be challenged one more time. The test would be a huge one and would become the pinnacle of their relationship, proving once and for all Abraham’s amazing confidence in and loyalty to God.
This event proved to be far more than just a test, however. Hidden in it was one of the most amazing pictures of the cross the Lord ever painted. As we shall see, it demonstrated more than Abraham’s trust in God; it was also a heartwarming picture of Jehovah’s trust in Abraham.
In Genesis 22, the Lord made a shocking request of Abraham.
“Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” (Genesis 22:2)
Amazing! Ridiculous! Unbelievable! But He said it: Give me the dream, Abraham. Take that part of the dream which is the most precious to you and sacrifice it to Me. That would cause just a little bit of a hiccup in your morning devotions.
Abraham must have felt like someone slugged him in the gut. One can only imagine the thoughts and questions that began to swirl through his mind:
- Do I really know God’s voice as well as I believe I do?
- Do I truly know Him as well as I think I do? I don’t believe He will make me go through with the sacrifice of Isaac. If He does, I’m confident He will raise him from the dead.
- With either scenario, what will Isaac think regarding my love for him? Could this so traumatize him that it wounds his psyche, maybe even permanently?
It’s impossible to know Abraham’s thoughts, but we know he was a good father and loved Isaac very much. We also know there could be no greater test than this of anyone’s faith and trust. To say that Abraham passed the test would be the understatement of the millennium. He said “yes” to questions one and two, and trusted his Friend with number three.
The challenge this presents us to emulate in our dreaming seems ridiculously small in comparison to what Abraham had to do.The principle, however, is the same and one we must always remember: When God asks for the dream, give it back to Him. Dreams are powerful. It is possible to so attach our emotions to them that a dream can become a taskmaster we serve, rather than an assignment or goal we steward.
This is precisely what occurred with Adam and Eve, and all of us contracted the virus. Stewarding the dream wasn’t enough for them; they became convinced they could own it. At that point, rather than God remaining Lord of the dream, the dream became lord. Legitimate desires became cravings, even obsessions. We humans have been serving our dreams ever since. We kill for them, abandon family and friends to accomplish and keep them, and spend everything we own to buy them. Since the fall of humanity, God’s challenge has been keeping the dream a servant and a tool, rather than us allowing it to become the master. Whether the dream is a person, money, possessions, position, or status, the only hope for its purity is keeping it tethered to Him.
It was, of course, never God’s intent to allow Abraham to go through with the
sacrifice of Isaac. The only human offering He has ever sanctioned was that of Christ on the Cross. But at the time Abraham couldn’t be certain. He was certain, however, of his complete trust in God’s character and friendship. Yahweh would either provide a viable substitute for Isaac (see Genesis 22:8), or if He did require him to go through with the sacrifice, the Author and Giver of life would not leave Isaac dead—He would resurrect him (see Genesis 22:5 and Hebrews 11:17–19). What an incredible and genuine trust this demonstrated!
Abraham actually saw his obedience as an act of worship. When addressing his servants he said, “I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you” (Genesis 22:5). This is almost mind-boggling. How many of us could consider a test of this magnitude as worship? When we worship God, we do so because of who He is – holy, true, trustworthy, and faithful. Abraham was proving beyond any doubt that He knew God. He was confident Yahweh was the Dream-giver, not the dream-stealer. I’m not yet sure what this is all about, Abraham must have reasoned, but God has something very important He is up to and it’s not the death of Isaac.
Did He ever!
The Dream-giver was Himself dreaming at Moriah. The path to the recovery of His dream would be painful and ugly, and He was about to give us a sneak preview. This entire episode was designed to paint a picture of the Cross, where God would one day recapture His dream of family. No one else knew His plan, not even the angels, but here on this very mountain He would sacrifice His Son and redemption’s song would one day be sung.
Father God was well aware that the violence of this future day would be dreadful beyond description. Creation itself would hide its eyes (see Matthew 27:45) and the very foundations of the earth would shake (see Matthew 27:57). God’s heart would break, the angels would watch in shock and horror, and the Son of God Himself would cry out in anguish (see Matthew 27:46). But this violent death would also be love’s crowning act.
When the day actually occurred, Satan believed it would be the day of his ultimate victory. This could end God’s dream once and for all. Satan did not know the details of God’s redemptive plan, but he did know it was somehow wrapped up in His Son. Kill Him, he thought. He has become human, breakable, mortal. Kill Him and kill the dream! What Satan didn’t know—no one but God knew it—was that the cross was written into the dream.
Impossible!
Insane, Satan must have thought when the plan succeeded.
Actually, it was brilliant. Painfully and devastatingly brilliant, yes, but brilliant nonetheless. And suddenly it all made sense. What looked like one dying Dreamer on a Cross was really a dream-seed. There were millions of dreams locked up in Him, waiting to be released. Until the Resurrection and Pentecost, Christ’s words in John 12:24 were still not fully understood: “Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” Christ was the grain of wheat; we are the “much fruit.”
That the events on Moriah in Abraham’s day were a foreshadowing of Calvary can be seen by several things:
- First, Isaac was referred to as Abraham’s “only” or “only begotten son” no less than four times (see Genesis 22:2, 12, 16; Hebrews 11:17), descriptions that were no doubt meant to be prophetic of God’s later references to His “only begotten Son” (John 3:16).
- Moriah, the mountain on which Abraham was told to offer Isaac, was the very mountain where centuries later Christ would be offered as our sacrifice. How woefully fitting and strikingly prophetic that Isaac actually carried the wood for the sacrifice up the mountain (Genesis 22:6), just as Christ would one day carry His Cross! What must have gone through the Son of God’s mind as He watched this prophetic picture unfold!
- Perhaps the most telling proof of all was the name Abraham gave the place when the episode was finished. Predictably, the Lord didn’t allow him to go through with the sacrifice. At just the right moment, Yahweh stopped him and revealed a substitute ram God had provided, caught in a thicket. After sacrificing the ram, “Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide [Jehovah Jireh], as it is said to this day, ‘In the mount of the Lord it will be provided’” (Genesis 22:14). Though I am fairly certain Abraham didn’t know he was prophesying the place of the Cross, history confirms that he was.
The poignancy of this dress rehearsal is impossible to overstate. Here was the Creator painting a picture, indecipherable and veiled to all but Himself, of His most cherished dream and horrible nightmare: recapturing His lost family through the death of His Son. And He is literally doing so on the stage where it will ultimately occur! Perhaps it was because of the pain of the plan that God wanted one of His best friends to be there with Him.
The name of the mountain where this occurred was also significant. Moriah means “seen of God.” Yahweh had taken Abraham there to show him, though in a veiled form, what He was “seeing” in the future—the Cross and the death of His Son. God must have been deeply impacted as He envisioned the pain, agony and in earth’s ultimate irony, the joy of what would one day take place there. He was also moved by Abraham’s complete faith in Him, so much so that He reiterated to him His promise of forty years earlier, reminding Abraham of his dream, also.
“By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” (Genesis 22:16–18)
God’s intentions seem fairly obvious. He didn’t want to dream alone. At this hideously evil, yet gloriously holy place, where He would eventually recapture His dream, Abba wanted Abraham to dream with Him. Two dreaming friends on a mountain, looking into the future and dreaming together. This had to have been one of earth’s most meaningful and heart-warming scenes. Wonderful. Moving. Devastating. The following paraphrase sums up the drama of this day:
Remember My promise to you, Abraham. Go ahead, dream.
Here at Moriah, the place where I am seeing My dream restored, I want
you to see yours, as well. Gaze at the stars, envision the sand and see pictures of how I’m going to multiply you.
And though you don’t yet realize it, Abraham, My dream is hidden in
yours—in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed. Our
dreams are completely intertwined, Abraham. Actually, your dream is
really all about My dream.
You see stars, I see sons and daughters. You see sand, I see a bride for
My Son. You see an altar, I see a cross. You see a ram, I see My Son.
I will bring Him here one day and I’ll build an altar. . . in the shape of a cross. Unlike you, I won’t be able to stay the knife, but through My Son’s death. . .I’ll have My dream!
A day for the ages.
A day for friends.
And a day for dreamers everywhere.
An incredibly close friendship must have been necessary for God to become this intimate with Abraham. Taking him to the place where His ultimate dream and ultimate pain would occur demonstrated their closeness. They watched the dress rehearsal together; and years later the consummation did, indeed, take place.
I’m sure these two friends were together again on that day, watching the events unfold and sharing the pain as Isaac’s counterpart hung on the cross-shaped “altar.” But the pain, excruciating as it was, was temporary. They knew it would be. Three days later “Isaac” arose, proving once and for all that the dream was alive and well. Death lost; life won. And the power of dreaming was vindicated.
I can’t prove it, but I think the heavenly choir broke out into Handel’s Messiah, not yet known on earth, but sung in heaven since earth’s creation.
Pray with me:
Father, thank You for showing us the strength of Your friendship with Abraham. We, too, want to build a relationship with You that exemplifies this type of intimacy. We want it to be strong enough that You are willing to share Your heart with us, to trust us with Your plans and desires.
On this day during which we look back at the Cross, we want to again thank You for offering Your Son to die for us. It’s hard to fathom the depth of Your love. But we accept it and we embrace it.
And Jesus, thank You for humbling Yourself to become one of us. Your love and humility are beyond words. We could never thank You enough, but we can thank You. As the song says, “You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words…” We love You!
And we recommit to You and Your cause. It is our great joy to partner with You. Thank You for bringing us into Your world. Amen.
Our decree:
We declare that the blood of Jesus will never lose its power!

Pray for United States: An Urgent Call to Action
Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 3/30 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” from Dutch Sheets, the intercession leader. “I invite you to join me every day and pray for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes”, comment, and then we will pray together. When we “petition to heaven” for the United States, you can join us here.
【Background: Some issues we take up on our posts are not pleasant to deal with; this is one of them, but trust me when I say we MUST pray and take action on this issue. It is HR 5 – the [In]Equality Act. The church slept when prayer was removed from our schools and abortion was made the law of our land. We will not sleep through this one.
The Child & Parental Rights Campaign is one of numerous conservative groups tracking this legislation. Please believe them when they say this resolution is “an existential threat to families and faith communities.” We believe it is a direct attack against the U.S. Constitution’s protections of freedom of religion and freedom of speech. They explain the Act and its dangers for us:
The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted to remedy discrimination against individuals based on the innate and immutable characteristics of race, color, national origin, and gender. Congress recognized that people were being denied rights and privileges and forced to endure substandard housing, employment, and educational opportunities solely because they were born of a particular race or nationality, with a certain skin color, or as a female. Passage of the Civil Rights Act rightly meant that those innate characteristics could not be used to justify differential treatment in education, housing, employment, and other essential goods and services.
The (In)Equality Act, HR 5, was reintroduced in 2021 after failing to obtain Senate approval in 2019. It proposes profound and far-reaching changes to the Civil Rights Act that would directly threaten religious liberty, free speech, freedom of conscience, the sanctity of life, parental rights, and the privacy and safety of women and girls. The proposed changes to the Civil Rights law under HR 5 would erase biological reality and actually reduce, not expand, protections against discrimination, contrary to the original intent of Congress.
H.R. 5 has passed in the United States House of Representatives. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have made clear their intent to pass this bill. It is now pending in the United States Senate, where it must now be stopped. If passed, here is what it would do:
- Redefine Gender (Male and Female) to Include “Sexual Orientation” and “Gender Identity”: HR 5 would add “sexual orientation and gender identity” to the term “sex” throughout the Civil Rights Act. Therefore, “sex” would no longer be defined as it has for millennia as the objective biological reality of being male or female. Instead, it would include the societally derived concepts of sexual orientation or gender identity as being equal to and interchangeable with the term “sex,” thereby overriding the very nature of “sex” in the law.
- Require Owners of All Establishments Open to The Public to Comply: HR 5 would expand the definition of “public accommodations” required to comply with this new definition of “sex” to include: a “stadium or other place of or establishment that provides . . . recreation, exercise, amusement, public gathering, or public display.” This would readily include facilities faith-based organizations use for public gatherings or for sports or recreational activities for children. It would also include: “any establishment that provides goods, services, or program, including a store, shopping center, online retailer or service provider, salon, bank, gas station, food bank, service or care center, shelter, travel agency, or funeral parlor, or establishment that provides health care, accounting, or legal services.”
- Force Faith-Based Organizations to Hire Employees Who Do Not Share Their Beliefs: Owners and employers of virtually all establishments open to the public would have to ensure that hiring policies, dress codes, codes of conduct, promotions, and disciplinary actions do not treat someone differently because they are or are perceived to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. That includes churches and faith-based non-profits having to hire people who do not share their beliefs. In addition, property owners would have to ensure that all users of their property comply with these rules. Faith-based organizations would be able to continue to rely on the “ministerial” exception for employment decisions, but that offers only limited protection. Most importantly, because the ministerial exception would apply only to employees regarded as ministers, it would not insulate churches from hiring decisions related to other staff. Without the protection of RFRA (see below), therefore, faith-based organizations would still be required to adopt LGBT-friendly employment policies.
- Threaten Religious Freedom and Free Speech: Evincing a blatant hostility toward religion, HR 5 would explicitly remove the protections of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as a defense to a claim covered by HR 5 or as a basis for challenging its enforcement. Faith-based organizations would be compelled to, e.g., adjust their programs, open up their privacy facilities to transgender (opposite-sex) persons, and revise employment policies, or be subject to liability.1
- Require All Organizations Open to the Public to Open Up Their Bathrooms: Women and children who use these facilities would surrender their right to privacy and be placed at increased risk for harassment or assault by men who claim to identify as women.
- Undermine Parental Rights and Instruction: By requiring that all private facilities in schools be open to members of the opposite sex if they self-identify as another gender. Children would be required to accept that their female classmates are actually male or male classmates are actually female, contradicting their parents’ instruction concerning the binary nature of one’s sex. HR 5 would also likely lead to universal instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity as normative, further contradicting parental teaching about the created nature of men and women and human sexuality.
- Force Health Care Providers to Provide Abortions, Gender Transition Treatments: Individuals and organizations who provide health care would be prohibited from refusing to perform abortions, “gender-affirming” surgeries, or any procedures requested by LGBT patients on the basis that it violates the provider’s religious beliefs.
- Jeopardize Girls’ and Women’s Athletic and Educational Opportunities
- Inevitably Threaten Tax-Exempt Status for Faith-Based Organizations: While not explicitly included in HR 5, faith-based organizations that refuse to comply with its redefinition of sex/gender could face the loss of their tax-exempt status.
We are clearly instructed by God to align ourselves with His word and stand in opposition to sin. This assault is particularly targeted at our children and grandchildren. In Matthew 18:5-6 (NIV), Jesus said, “And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” We must uphold what the Lord has declared to be right and righteous, and we must do more than just pray. We must pray and act on behalf of our nation’s children. He will save them as we do our part.
CALL TO ACTION
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on HR 5 on March 17, 2021. Leaders in the Senate have declared their intent to move this bill to a full Senate vote quickly. It is imperative that pastors and faith leaders take immediate strategic action to stop its passage. Here is what you should do:
- Find your U.S. Senator here (senate.gov). The Senate switchboard number is: (202) 224-3121. (If you need more explanation as to what to do once you’re on that website, scroll down to the end for details.)
- Numbers matter to politicians. Leaders of all churches, pastor associations, or faith-based movements should contact your U.S. Senators and request a meeting to discuss the threat HR 5 poses to your organization and to parents, students, medical professionals, and business owners within your community.
- Pastors and leaders should notify other pastors, associations of pastors, or faith-based groups of the threat and invite them to join in preparing a joint letter informing your U.S. Senators of your opposition to HR 5 and urging them to vote “No” on this bill.
- We ask that all churches send a letter on behalf of your church via email and U.S. mail to your U.S. Senators informing them of the harms of this bill and asking them to vote against it. (Their addresses are on the website mentioned above.) Individuals, please do so also.
- Educate your congregation from the pulpit on the threats posed by HR 5 and encourage them to contact their U.S. Senators with letters, emails, and calls urging them to vote “No” on this bill.
TOOLS FOR ADVOCACY
Child & Parental Rights Campaign has developed tools to assist us in having our voices be heard. Click on this link to be directed to a private page on their website (You may also find this link on our website: GiveHim15.com). This link will direct you to the following resources:
- PowerPoint on HR 5 to share with your congregation or other leaders
- Sample letter from an individual
- Sample letter from churches
- Sample letter for networks
- Legal Summary on the Equality Act (PDF)
There is still time to take action, as it appears there are not enough votes in the Senate currently to bring cloture to a filibuster. A filibuster is a tactic used to delay a vote in the Senate. It takes 60 votes in the Senate to stop a filibuster—that is cloture—versus a simple majority to pass legislation. Pray that the filibuster is not removed or amended! The filibuster is critical to keep ungodly legislation from moving forward. You can learn more about filibuster and cloture here. You are going to be hearing a lot about this in the news, related to many ungodly and unrighteous pieces of legislation, so educate yourselves on it. It’s important that we stay informed.

Pray For Israel: Yeshua, the King of the Jews is Resurrected
【Editor’s Note: Seven days after the Passover, in the early morning in Jerusalem, the capital of our King, although spring is still cold it is a beautiful blue sky and sunny day. Local Christians from Jerusalem come here to celebrate resurrection Sunday by visiting The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Garden Tomb and other holy sites to gather to commemorate the Lord Yeshua.
The global Coronavirus has affected Israel for more than a year. Israel will no longer close the city during the spring festivals such as Passover this year. Although foreign tourists have not been allowed to enter the country, those who live in Israel, whether they are Chrsitan from Arab, Armenic, Ethiopia, internationals, or Jewish Messiahs, they all joyfully Held a resurrection Sunday meeting.
Israel is gradually coming out of the shadowy valley of the Coronavirus epidemic. At this moment, in such an atmosphere, celebrating His resurrection in the holy place where the Savior Yeshua died and was resurrected, it does impress upon us the profound meaning of going from death to life.

Critical Event: Africa – The Joy of the Gospel is Intertwined in the Turmoil of the Current Situation
【Current Events: Africa, this suffering land, seems to be a condensed version of the history of world suffering, with all kinds of disasters, political chaos, wars, paganism, witchcraft, jihadist violence, locust plagues… But God has not forgotten her! On this continent, God has washed it with the blood of martyrs in the past and swept it with the gospel. can the prosperity of the gospel really go with the turmoil here? Today, Africa has entered 2021 amidst the joy of the gospel and the ups and downs of the current situation.
The joy of the gospel is intertwined in the turmoil of the current situation
- In July 2020 Sudan canceled the “Islamic apostasy law” bill, giving the Reformers the freedom to hear, and believe the gospel; then they canceled Islam as the state religion; they revived their civil rights, including Christians religious Freedom. This was really great news! However, 2021 Sudan began with cruelty, perhaps because of the epidemic’s containment of the economy. Tribal violence broke out again in Sudan’s Darfur and southern regions. Mobs took revenge on the villages and carried out inhuman bloody conquests. Most of the victims were women and children.
- In South Sudan, there have been years of war and fierce fighting, and the rate of various cruel and violent crimes is extremely high. Innocent civilians come to the church to seek refuge. In the village near the capital Juba, the wind of the Holy Spirit blew in. Thousands of people came to the Lord. Within a month 16,802 people believed in the Lord, including soldiers, witches, etc.
- In North African countries, Muslim converts are under strong pressure from inside and outside. External pressure is the hindrance of faith, and internal pressure is the chasing and strife for money and power among church leaders, which prevents the flock from getting the care they deserve. But the gratifying thing is that God directly raised up young converts to preach the gospel passionately, earnestly pursue God’s words, and lead others to the Lord. Muslim converts are the fastest-growing group, which can be described as “explosion”. These persecuted converts may be the new future of Christianity.
- Since 2019, the government of Algeria has deprived the people of the right to worship God freely from the Constitution. To this day, the government has closed 13 community churches. The petitions sent by the people have not yet been answered. Facing the socio-economic crisis caused by the delay of the Coronavirus, believers can only worship God outdoors and be baptized in rivers and seas. It feels like an early church. The local pastor said, “We can’t stop because the Lord’s Holy Spirit continues to touch people’s hearts.” “People start family gatherings and prayers. This increases the understanding between believers, sharing sorrow and joy.”
- Uganda, a country that was once designated by the United Nations to be exterminated by AIDS in a few years, once lived through the power of the gospel. But now they are facing new challenges. In addition to the rebound in AIDS, the Coronavirus epidemic and the presidential election have forced the people to jump out of the comfort zone and continue to pray. The local pastor Otchero said, “The current global situation desperately requires integrity, passion, determination and perseverance of intercessors to pray continuously, especially fasting and prayer.” “We are facing challenges that cannot be ignored. All we need is God.”
- Nigeria is one of the most severely persecuted countries in the world for Christians. It is a place where Christians and radical Islamic organizations coexist, and spiritual warfare is fierce. The northern part is the “Boko Haram” radical organization of the nomadic Fulani tribe, the southern part mostly believes in Christianity, and the southwest is the chieftain system of traditional beliefs. The political arena of Nigeria is ugly and corrupt, and terrorist attacks are rampant everywhere. Unexpectedly, in such a harsh environment, God stretched out his hand to stir enthusiasm, sent messengers to preach and establish institutions, making many impossible possibilities. In Nigeria, miracles, such as the resurrection of the dead, are common. God is visiting in the manner recorded in the book of Acts to raise up His army to win this place.
- There have been two locust plagues in Kenya last year, causing severe food shortages. This is the worst locust plague in East Africa in 70 years. To make matters worse, the locust plague caused many people to lose their jobs. Even the pastor of the church must spend all his time looking for food for his family and cannot serve the congregation.
- Eritrea’s early legislation declared Christianity illegal. This is a typical religious persecution and has been listed as the country with the worst religious freedom in the world. The U.S. State Department estimates that nearly 1,200 to 3,000 prisoners in the country are in prison for their beliefs. The leaders of the Full Evangelical Church have been in prison for more than 15 years. A year ago, 70 Christians were imprisoned, including 35 women and 10 children. But last year, due to the epidemic, the Erilian government released more than 20 Christian prisoners who had been imprisoned for many years for believing in Jesus.

Pray for the Natives of North America: The Rise of The First Nation – Strategies for Spiritual Warfare
【Background: In recent years, under the leading of God , the East Coast Chinese have connected and communicated with key First Nation leaders, and pray together online every week, establishing a relationship like family. Since 2016, one of the First Nation leaders that came into contact with the East Coast Chinese is Lockley Bremner from Blackfeet. He is an elder that has the heart of the father, he is also a writer with a kingdom mindset. After a family gathering in Washington, D.C. in February 2020, he understood the true meaning of the Homecoming gathering and saw how God raised up Chinese to help the First Nation to enter into their destiny with sincerity, so he was completely committed to this journey with the Chinese. God further moved him to write articles such as “The Rise of Indigenous Peoples-Strategies for Spiritual Warfare”. The following is Lockley’s sharing:
INTRODUCTION
There is a consensus among the First Nations Prayer Group that God has a special calling upon the First Nations people at this juncture in time and that revival will not come to America until the First Nations are restored. It is our common belief that the First Nations are a sleeping giant who are awakening and are key to revival; that God has reserved them for these last days and they will arise to become a blessing to this continent (Turtle Island) and powerful evangelists around the world.
That the Chinese Christians have a unique burden for First Nations people as a type of midwives and husbandmen to bring to birth this move of God among First Nations; they are family with us and partners in aiding First Nations Christians to accomplish God’s purposes. This unique relationship has developed into a close-knit family group that is joined together in love, trust, and perseverance. There is no separation between us, we are one.
The foundation of the movement is based upon becoming the family of God under mature fathers and mothers in the Lord, modeled after the Homecoming movement. That this prayer group has grown and developed over a period of time and has established key relationships from around the country and has homogenized into a core family unit, being guided by the Holy Spirit through prayer, vision and discernment.
VISION
For mighty warriors to arise from among First Nations and to take their place in the army of YHWH. That First Nations tribes be restored to their original calling. The desired outcome of our vision is expressed in the LORD’S Prayer, Matthew 6:10 “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
