At this critical moment, The whole earth should come to pray for unity and self-purification
At this important moment in history, we must pray together and seek the true will of God. In the past few days, we have faced a lot of pressure. We have experienced epidemics, attacks, wars, and famines. We seem to be trapped, and don’t know what to do. Christians know, however, that our help comes from the Creator; therefore, when we are experiencing depression and stress, we need to consider what God’s will is. To march forward with God’s comfort, and ask God to speak to the nations with a new spirit.

“One of the primary strategies of satan is to wear down the saints. The kingdom of darkness wants us to become so overcome with exhaustion and discouragement that we back off. He wants us to be occupied with worry and fear. He also desires for us to be so tired that we won’t pursue what God has put in our hearts.

OUR FATHER: A LIGHT BEING
I will talk to you about the Fear of the Lord; I want to preface it with these few remarks. God, our Father is a Light Being. And because He is Light, He doesn’t have Light, incidentally: He IS Light. So those who need Light need to go to Him.

Someone came and reported to Jehoshaphat, “A great army has come against you from abroad, beyond Syria, and now they are in Hazezon Tamar, which is Engedi.” Jehoshaphat was afraid, and determined to seek the LORD in all Judea. Declared fasting. So the people of Judah gathered together and asked the Lord for help, and people from every city in Judah came out to seek the Lord. . . . When the crowd sang and praised, the LORD sent in ambulance to smite the Ammonites, Moabites, and Mount Seirites who had come against the Judah, and they were defeated. For the Ammonites and the Moabites rose up and smote those who lived on Mount Seir, and annihilated them; and after they had annihilated those who lived on Mount Seir, they killed each other again. When the men of Judah came to the watchtower in the wilderness, they looked at the great army, and saw dead bodies lying all over the ground, but not one escaped.

(See Psalm 113:3-4 ) O Lord! Glory not to us (Israel), not to us, but to thy name for thy love and truth. Why allow the Gentiles to say, “Where is their god?” Yet our God, the Holy One of Israel, is in heaven, doing what he wills. (See Psalm 115:1-3 )

- Israel’s enemies mix with each other: Lord of hosts, we thank You for keeping Hamas (Islamic resistance militant group ruling Gaza) out of Islamic Jihad’s revenge against Israel, Hezbollah in Lebanon in northern Israel There was also no rocket attack on Israel in solidarity with Gaza, which prevented the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from escalating last weekend, and enabled Israel to achieve its goal of “Operation Dawn”, which severely weakened the terrorist organization PIJ. We thank You! We pray that You will continue to distrust, confuse, and support each other, Iran’s armed proxies around Israel, such as PIJ, Hamas, the Palestine Liberation Organization, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis. To make their evil plan “intended to destroy Israel” unfounded!

- The Israelites will fear and know the LORD, the Palestinians will fear and know the LORD, the whole earth will fear and know the LORD, and the inhabitants of the world will fear him, and only give him glory!

Critical Event: Reopening the Gateway and Fountain of the Gospel in Bahrain
【Background: At the initiative of President Trump, Bahrain and Israel concluded a peace agreement in September 2020, called the Abraham Accord, declaring friendly relations with Israel of peace, cooperation and constructive diplomacy. Bahrain was the fourth Arab country to recognize Israel at the time. This is a good result of the Trump administration to promote the eradication of global terrorism in the Middle East. …Detailed Reading】
- Genesis 26:18-19 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them. Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there.
- Luke 15:20,24 So he got up and went to his father.“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
【prayer】
- When Bahrain came home : Father, You wept and hurt for Bahrain, who in Your eyes was Ruth who followed Naomi closely, saying to Israel, “Your God shall be my God,” and eventually into the house of Boaz as the bride of Christ. Thank You, Father God! Choose the little “mustard seed” of Bahrain, who, if filled with the love and power of Christ, will be the strongest Christian pioneer in the Arab world. This time, let the global Christian family take Bahrain on the way home, feel the warm invitation and the warmth of home, and make Bahrain say: It’s good to be home!
- Bahrain’s waters are overflowing : Father, now You want to rebuild Bahrain, restore the function of this ancient well of revival, so that the waters inside and outside of Bahrain will be opened, so that her neighboring countries UAE (United Arab Emirates), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc. The Persian Gulf countries are the first to feel the great overturn and blessing! Bahrain wants to put on the glory of Christ and has great appeal in the Arab region!
- In the name of Jesus Christ we declare :
- The visit of the body of Christ will stir up the awakened spirit in the capital city of Manama, releasing the light of Christ.
- The Abraham Accords must bring more countries to align themselves with Israel.
- Blessings will come to the Arab region, to the descendants of Ishmael, to satisfy God the Father.
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.

- Psalm 149:3-4 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
- Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.

Nearly 5,000 Chinese people from all over the world gathered to worship in unity, praying for the peace and revival of the kingdom of God and the next generation. This article is an excerpt from the live broadcast YouTube video . Pastor Anton Cruz, founder of Royal Children’s Ministry in India, shared the message of “God’s call to the remnant” in the video,
At this critical moment, The whole earth should come to pray for unity and self-purification
At this important moment in history, we must pray together and seek the true will of God. In the past few days, we have faced a lot of pressure. We have experienced epidemics, attacks, wars, and famines. We seem to be trapped, and don’t know what to do. Christians know, however, that our help comes from the Creator; therefore, when we are experiencing depression and stress, we need to consider what God’s will is. To march forward with God’s comfort, and ask God to speak to the nations with a new spirit.
Just as the Israelites came out of Egypt, God let the people come out of despair and overcome all the limitations of the past; they did not look at Pharaoh’s chasing soldiers or the Red Sea, but see through God’s eyes to transcend all darkness, death, weeping, and despair. When we look at the Father and understand the will of the Father, we have great hope.
God is purifying us, God is purifying the nations, purifying the people, purifying our minds. God told me in 2020 that there will be a great shaking, many people will fall into suffering and shock, but after 2025 there will be a new breakthrough. And this day is the time when God prepares the people, and the people should purify themselves and welcome His coming again.
In the post-pandemic generation, you and I are the remnant people who should respond to God’s call
During the raging epidemic, I contracted the virus twice and experienced God’s supernatural salvation. I met Jesus while I was in the isolation ward of the emergency room, crying out to God, during the most painful period of my body and soul. Jesus entered the ward in the form of the long-haired doctor and healed me and 22 seriously ill clergymen at the same time.
After experiencing supernatural healing, Papa Anton kept asking God: “ Why did so many friends die after being infected once, why did he survive the second time, and why did God save his life? “ recalls Papa Anton an envoy of God. From the call he received in 1986, that is, to save the lost orphans in the world, to raise up an army of intercessor in the last days, so that these orphans and children who have lost their parents could all rise up to pray, preach the gospel, prophesy, and bring forth mighty prayers.
“Now is a time of transition. People used to pay attention to megachurches, thinking that they needed megachurches to see the glory of God.” But God wants a generation of prayer, and children are to be the prayer army of the last generation. We must pray and praise and worship God day and night, and the church, no matter how big or small, must become a temple of prayer, even a small family.
God chooses the remnant , revives the prayer, transforms the generation
At every momentous moment in the Bible, God has chosen the remnant of God. Although Satan the devil steals, kills and destroys, we will see God raise up a small group of weak people to shame the strong enemy. “God is going to raise up children to be an army in the last days, and that’s going to happen in the next few years. “ We’re going to see the younger generation and the fatherless generation being raised up by God. For many children who lost their families due to the epidemic and war, the Heavenly Father will personally be their father, and God will raise them up.
In Exodus, Satan the devil wants to stop God’s plan, and the primary goal is to kill the firstborn child; in the time of Jesus’ birth, many children were also killed. Satan the devil is still trying to prey on the younger generation today, deceiving children through media, movies, music, sex, drugs. And God calls us to rise up in prayer, to bring young people and children to God.
When God begins to touch the children of the next generation, He will bring the whole generation, the people of Israel, away from Pharaoh, and the whole young generation will be raised up to holiness. Just like the orphans cared for by Papa Anton, they experienced many miracles, some were healed, and some children were moved by God to travail and pray for the nations.
What God sees is the glory of man’s heart
In Haggai’s generation, after the Israelites returned from captivity, the people who came back to build the temple were young people. At that time, the elders asked them, “ How many professionals are there among you? Have you ever seen the glory of God? How can you do such a huge project? When will it be built? ” Faced with these challenges, the young people who built the temple fell into depression. It seems that today we are all depressed because of the epidemic, war, and environmental unrest, but Haggai pointed out: “God looks at the glory of your heart. God does not look at the buildings, the number of people, the size of the temple, and the glory of the heart. ”
Malachi 4:5-6: “Behold, before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes, I will send Elijah the prophet to you. He will turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the hearts of children. Turn to Father, lest I come and curse the earth.”
Believe that this is a new era, a new beginning
“ Every time I am attacked, I always believe that if you experience a small problem, you will get a small blessing, and if you experience a big problem, you will get a big blessing. “ The remnant people who have experienced the epidemic and war should start to rise up, pray, and use new abilities and new trends. Movement, new release, raise up the people of this generation and the next generation, let the church become a house of prayer day and night, young people, children, worshipers, and intercessors will be raised up, and the glory of the end will be greater than the glory of the former!

Editorial Special Section: Joe Dawson: Align with God
Message : Joe Joe Dawson Date: August 4, 2004 Source : Joe Joe Dawson Facebook.
Recently in a time of corporate prayer, the Lord spoke to me about being in alignment with Him. Many people talk about being in alignment with the right people and associations. I believe that who you align with can be vital to accelerating with the Lord and that aligning with the apostles and prophets that are right for you. However, the Lord is really highlighting to me that the most important alignment in our lives, and in this season, is with Him.
Your alignment with God and with the Word of God is first priority. Then secondly really aligning with the prophetic words and promises over your life. When you are properly aligned with God the devil has no bearing or hold on you. The enemy has no authority when you are walking in the grace of God. I believe the difficulty that some people have been experiencing is because the enemy has been able to beat them down due to the fact that they have chosen to walk out of alignment with God. Now is the time to get in right alignment with the Lord, fully submit everything to Him and remove any access the enemy has had in your life in previous times.
Ephesians 2:10 in the Passion Translation says, “We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!”
Only when we are aligned with the Lord can we fulfill our destiny and fulfill all He has called us to do. God has a breathtaking purpose for you and has Kingdom assignments that only you can carry out. I want to challenge you to believe in your destiny and become passionate about God’s purpose for you. When you know who you are in God and what He has called you to do staying aligned with Him is simple.
One of the ways we get in and stay in alignment with God is through His Spirit. John 14:26 in the Passion Translation says, “But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.” Holy Spirit will always bring things back to your remembrance when you’re going through a hard season, become afraid or when you get off track.
Romans 12:2 says, “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” Notice this scripture doesn’t say perfect in your eyes! No, the Lord wants you to live a life perfect in His eyes. What would your life look like if you were holding yourself to God’s standard for you instead of your own? I believe this is a season where we cannot be entangled with the world and the noise and chaos of culture. Instead, God is looking for those who will change culture. We are the Church, the ecclesia, the governing body of believers through whom God wants to advance His Kingdom in the earth.
Just as Romans 12:2 says, now is the time for us to have a total reformation of how we think so that we can be empowered by God to be agents of change and reformation in the earth. In this season, align with the Lord! Allow the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to keep you moving forward. And get ready to accelerate into your purpose with God!

Message : Tim Sheets Date: August 8, 2022 Original Source: GiveHim15
“One of the primary strategies of satan is to wear down the saints. The kingdom of darkness wants us to become so overcome with exhaustion and discouragement that we back off. He wants us to be occupied with worry and fear. He also desires for us to be so tired that we won’t pursue what God has put in our hearts.
“Daniel 7:25 (NASB) tells us, ‘And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Highest One…’ The two words ‘wear out’ is one Hebrew word, bela, which means a ‘mental or emotional attack’.(1) This references attacks against our soul, which is our mind, will, and emotions. It isn’t a physical weariness. The oppression of the soul is a compressed, squeezing feeling, even a feeling of constantly being overwhelmed. The picture in the Hebrew language is that of a snake that wraps itself around its prey and squeezes until there is no longer breath. The enemy’s agenda is to put the squeeze on the saints until we are mentally and emotionally exhausted.
“Hell’s plan is to wear us out until we throw up our hands in utter frustration and walk away in a shroud of hopelessness. Darkness fueled by wokeism and liberalism, fired by hell, is resulting in unrest, despair, fear, and worry.
“This is a clear tactic of hell in our times. The division, lies, deception, and constant turmoil in our nation can produce a feeling of hopelessness. If we are not careful, this can cause us to wonder if things will ever change.
“The Ekklesia must confront the lies with truth. Sometimes the battles are long, but that doesn’t mean we can’t win them. Jesus said, (John 16:33, NKJV) ‘In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world!’
“We are to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. By placing our eyes on Jesus and giving Him our heavy burdens, life’s journey will be met with much less exhaustion and much more joy.
“My daughter, Rachel Shafer, shares an important truth in her book, Expect God. She writes:
“‘Several years ago, our youngest daughter Lily had major surgery. It was almost 12 hours long, extremely complicated, and included a long recovery time. We were a couple of weeks into this recovery process and trying to adjust to all that was happening, when in a moment of weakness, I said to God, “I feel like my life is spiraling out of control,” to which He replied, “Look up the word spiral.”’
“‘The meaning of spiral includes the advancement to higher levels through a series of circular movements. I was very intrigued by this definition. When I made the statement that I felt my life was spiraling out of control, I was thinking of spiraling downward, but that’s not what it actually means. I began to study more and came across this quote by Frances E. Willard:
“This seems to be the law of progress in everything we do; it moves along a spiral rather than perpendicular; we seem to be actually going out of the way, and yet it turns out that we were really moving upward all the time.”’
“‘When I read this quote, the words leaped off the page! At times I may feel life is crazy, out of control, and going in the wrong directions, but His Word tells us that He works ALL for our good (Romans 8:28). All means all!’
“‘I realized that by looking upwards and keeping my gaze on Him, I was also moving up. I was going to higher levels in my walk with Him. I was accessing greater trust, stronger faith, and had an expectant heart that He was going to fulfill His promises.’
“‘So while I felt I was in a downward spiral, after studying the Word, my perspective changed. I realized that yes, I was spiraling, but I was spiraling to higher levels. I was looking up and moving up. I was learning to press into the waiting. God met me in my darkest pain and taught me to hope again. God can take even the bad things and, in the proper season, turn them around and use them for good in the way He intends.’ (Rachel ends)
Tim continues, “God desires for us not to live in an atmosphere of weariness and frustration, but instead, an atmosphere of hope. We need to confront the appalling, dark atmosphere by binding it in the name of Jesus (Mark 3:27). We must refuse to live under a cloud of confusion, fear, hopelessness, and despair.
“We are not to be distracted, but wholly fix our eyes upon Jesus. His eyes are like flames of fire (Revelation 1:14). He is offering us an invitation to encounter Him in deeper ways – more than we ever have. We are being invited into the deepest parts of His heart, His ways, and His plans for us. He desires for His kingdom and government to be established on the earth like never before.
“Holy Spirit has not been preparing us to lose. Like Daniel, we must pray until Holy Spirit comes with angel armies and begins to dethrone princes (Daniel 10:10-21). We decree that the time of our confinement is up. It’s time for breakthrough, and for King Jesus and His everlasting Kingdom to see the powers of darkness bow to Him.
“We are people who refuse to have our hearts dampened by the world’s darkness. We can live in a life of God’s overcoming victory because hope from above has been provided for us. Victory after victory is our right, and there is no need to live below that privilege.
“We need to show the world there exists an Ekklesia that lives in a different realm. One that looks at the tactics of hell, the world, oppressive governments, and darkness, but chooses to say, ‘None of that moves us.’
“I want to encourage you with this thought, ‘You can win. Your life and your future will turn for good.’ It’s time to go on the offense, use your authority, and press into the presence of God. God’s presence is greater than the attack of our adversary.
“Your tomorrows are going to be better than your yesterdays. Your future will be far better than your past. The God you served yesterday is still God today, and He’s God of tomorrow.”

Editorial Special Section: Nita Johnson: OUR FATHER: A LIGHT BEING
Message : Nita Johnson Date: August 2, 2022 Source: Jesus Works for the World
I will talk to you about the Fear of the Lord; I want to preface it with these few remarks. God, our Father is a Light Being. And because He is Light, He doesn’t have Light, incidentally: He IS Light. So those who need Light need to go to Him.
And because He is Light, His word is Light. We look at His Word in the Bible, it looks very black and white; and red letter editions look red and white. But we don’t think of His Word as being Light. Nevertheless it is; His Word is Light. That is why the entrance of His Word brings Light and Life.
His name is Light. Now in a world where that doesn’t matter, from one human being to another, we might think “what is that to us whether it is or isn’t Light.” I am going to be very honest with you. It could take a whole book to write; but what I know is- His name is Light.
So when we want to speak an order carrying authority, and we say that order (for instance): “in Jesus’ Name”, we are invoking the God of Light.
And that God of Light overcomes all darkness. So when we use His name, His name overcomes all darkness – praise the Lord. His Word is Light; His Name is Light; He is spirit and therefore the Bible encourages us, that in being Spirit, He is Light; which is a very good thing since the Church that He Fathers is also Light.
As soon as we become born again, there is a new impartation of the Light of Christ, the Light of God; and this new impartation is meant to divert the powers of darkness, overcome the powers of darkness, and give us the power of sonship. So we are very thankful for that.
NITA EXPERIENCING LIGHT
I think – if i were to give you an example: since I entered into union, there are times, when for instance [at night, going to sleep] I pull the bedding back, because i forgot to do something before I went to bed. I jump out of bed, and light is covering my being. And I never expect it, it is always strange and exciting at the same time. It is like God is saying “I am here.”
There are times when I will be getting ready to get online and share, and as I am getting ready, I am looking in the mirror, and my face is clothed with Light, it emanates from it. Sometimes it is just my hands and my feet. But whatever the case, I now can understand that as one in union with Him, I am a child of Light. And that is your goal. Light is imparted when you get saved, but it is ever increasing when you walk with God, spend time in prayer and in the Word (not just memorizing, but coming to KNOW GOD through HIs word).
His person is Light. His voice is Light. The Bible speaks of the power of His Voice; and since I have heard the power of His Voice – that Voice is as the sounds of many waters. In all honesty, a terrifying experience. But that Voice is Light, it is Light through and through. It doesn’t have Light, it is Light; His person doesn’t have Light, He is Light, He is the essence of Light, He is the matrix of Light. Light doesn’t come to Him, it comes from Him to us.
His kingdom is a kingdom of Light, since He is the Father, Christ is the Son who is Light; the Spirit is also Light, and His children are light.
His kingdom is Light: it is Spirit and it is Light. And as I just said, His people are Light.
LIGHT CARRIES AUTHORITY
Everything about Him is Light, and Light carries authority. It carries authority that is greater than any other authority in known creation. No authority in Heaven is above His authority, no authority on earth is above His authority. There is none other.
In fact, the Bible even teaches us that all authority comes from God. So, at one time, before the devil decided to be a ‘bad guy’, he gained his authority from God. You just can’t go anywhere and be out from under His notice, His rule, His love – praise God, and the beautiful understanding that He so wanted to give you and me as intercessors (and as those who help other intercessors in the knowledge of God so that they can grow more useful in the kingdom).
I will stop there with my preface.
Ex. 20:18 – 21
[they] looked, they trembled with fear and fell back and stood afar off.
19 And they said to Moses, You speak to us and we will listen, but let not God speak to us, lest we die.
Believe me I have had those feelings when I am in the Presence – especially an overwhelming amount of His Presence bearing the fear of God.
20 And Moses said to the people, Fear not; for God has come to prove you, so that the [reverential] fear of Him may be before you, that you may not sin.
What is he saying: this Fear Of God is a good thing, not a bad thing; don’t be afraid of it, the fact that you have it keeps you protected – because as long as you walk in the fear of God, you will behave yourself.
21 And the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
If we’re going to walk with God, we find ourselves desperately needing the fear of God. Why? Because it helps us overcome our rebellion.
REBELLION IN THE BELIEVER NOT ERADICATED
Just because we are saved, doesn’t mean we are without rebellion.
God has to eradicate that ugly horrible thing called rebellion, it is a process over time, it doesn’t happen overnight. Unfortunately, He doesn’t come to you one day and say, “You need to be saved”, and extracts the spirit of rebellion from you and grants you His Spirit. It doesn’t work that way.

Pray for America: Stay Focused
Editor’s Note : This article is an excerpt from Dutch Sheets’ August 4 “Give Him Fifteen Minutes” post, which was written by Dutch Sheets to 8/2 Kansas on “Value Them Both )” poll results.
【Current affairs background: I want to share some thoughts today regarding Tuesday’s vote in Kansas. Of course, I am deeply disappointed with the outcome of the vote in Kansas. Yet, we must remember that when dealing with the free wills of people, we are never given the authority to control them, only to influence them. Given that fact, we don’t always experience the results we want, just as God Himself doesn’t. For example, it is not His will that any perish spiritually, yet many do (see Matthew 18:14).
I am quite sure that in response to our prayers, God did everything He could to change the will and thinking of many voters. He simply cannot always do so. Jesus could not change the heart of Judas, even after living and traveling with him for three years. Christ wept over Jerusalem because of their blindness and impending judgment (see Luke 19:41). He had tried to reach them, but could not.
Does this mean time spent praying for those who will not change is wasted? Does it mean we were wrong to conduct prayer gatherings and encourage people to pray for Kansas? Of course not. This is no different than preaching the gospel to a person or people, only to have them reject it. We are required to do what is just and right, even while knowing we will not always see the desired outcome. And God is faithful to give people a choice. Though we did not see the results we wanted, we can be sure God has stored up our prayers for Kansas and will still use them at the right time (see Revelation 5:8).
To the people in Kansas and around the nation who fought for the babies, I simply say, “You did well and must continue to fight for them.” After the reversing of Roe, this ongoing battle for life was to be expected. As insane as it is, one of the greatest battles of our time is for the lives of unborn babies. And even after experiencing setbacks, we must continue to fight spiritually and legislatively – just as we continue to preach the gospel, even though some reject it.
It is often stated that elections have consequences. They do, and those results sometimes have far-ranging effects, not just short-term consequences, lasting for a short election cycle of 2 to 4 years. When God’s influence is removed from a people/nation, systems of evil and sin begin to be built. Over time, the fruit of this accrues and multiples. Educators are given positions of influence, minds are molded, unrighteous laws are written that can be difficult to change, and more. Cycles of sin then perpetuate, bringing greater deception and destructive fruit; strongholds are strengthened. In our nation, unrighteous and ungodly decisions began being made decades ago. We are now seeing the horrible fruit of this. And I am not speaking only of abortion.
In America, God is showing us the fruit of rejecting Him. In Scripture, He calls those who do so, “fools.” Indeed. The greatest country on earth now has babbling, cognitively deficient people leading us; men who think they are women serving in cabinet positions; individuals creating national policy who contend that men can become pregnant (and attempting to punish those who disagree); Supreme Court Justices who can’t define what a woman is; educational leaders who contend that we should teach kindergartners they can change their genders; military leaders who believe “wokism” defines preparedness for war, and we could go on.
The rejection of God creates insanity.
My advice to those in the church – and frankly, to all well-meaning Americans – who have bought into the progressive liberalism of our day is, “For the sake of your children and grandchildren, wake up.”
To Christians in America who think the church should not be overly involved in political issues and elections, I would simply ask, “How do you think we got into this current mess?” Answer: by allowing unrighteous and ungodly people, who don’t honor God and His ways to be elected into government.
To the praying church (and others working to see America restored in various ways), “Do not give up!” Sixty years of godless evil cannot be reversed in a year or two. We are making progress. And when the great awakening God has spoken of comes in full force, it will be the game-changer. The change of heart caused by millions of people being born again will truly offset the godless, humanistic thinking of a generation. Then, and only then, will they genuinely care what God and the Bible say. Remember that we are creating this now through our prayers and by placing people into positions of authority and influence.
We must not grow weary in our efforts. God can do this! He has said, “America shall be saved.” Not many believed America could win her independence, but she appealed to heaven and prevailed. Very few believed Roe would ever be overturned, but it was. No one believed Ninevah could experience revival, but it did. No one in Israel believed Saul of Tarsus could become an apostle of God and writer of Scripture. I’m sure no one would have even considered anything as ludicrous as slave trader John Newton one day pastoring the greatest abolitionist in history, William Wilberforce…let alone writing history’s most sung ballad of all time, Amazing Grace. Don’t underestimate God’s ability to redeem.
Let God deal with the people, states, and governments that oppose Him. He will have His way with unrighteous governments and systems. Shakings will continue and intensify. Kansan believers, remain faithful, and keep standing for life. All Americans (and elsewhere) who labor and pray, stay focused. Stay in faith. Keep listening to Holy Spirit, not the circumstances around us. God will prevail.

Pray for America: Declarations for the 50 States to Enter the Destiny (4)
Editor’s Note : This is a prayer point for the 50 states of the United States, taken from Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of the Nation, published in 2005 by Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce a Nation)” book. The motto is the name the prophetic group gave to the 50 states during their 2003 tour. Starting this week, we will be here together to pray and declare for the five states, releasing them into their destiny.
Please pray for the following five states this week:
Kentucky: (Bluegrass State) Motto: United We Stand, Divided We Fall The Trumpet Has Sounded–It’s Time to Run With the Horses!
God is loosing the horses, runners, and the riders in Kentucky. There is a breaking out that is going to occur in Kentucky. It is a firstfruit state for revival. God is going to bring a new order to this state, which will cause both the land and the Church to flourish. The serpent that has held back revival will be cut off. The Lord says, “I am returning a right mantle of war to the White House from this state, and there will be vindication.”A supernatural confession will arise from the gov’t in Kentucky as men attempt to change righteous laws. The outcry and resistance from Kentucky will be see throughout the nation and it will cause a remnant from every state to rise up in agreement with Kentucky. Worship will be the key in KY to exposing hidden things and causing the enemy to loose his hold. The seer anointing and great revelation will be loosed in Kentucky
Louisiana: (Pelican State) Motto: Union, Justice, and Confidence The Governmental Mantle State
Decrees given: that the enemy would be outwitted in KY, that the gov’t of God would shift completely and immediate change would come to civil gov’t. Declaration that eyes will open to see a new supply and a transference of wealth into the Kingdom of God. Declared that the deadness that had entered the Church because of unbelief would break. Declared that the voice of wisdom would arise and that Louisiana as a state would be propelled into what God has for her.
Maine: (Pine Tree State) Motto: I Direct The East Gate for the King
Maine is the first place the sun hits the United States. It is the land of the dawn; and the name of our First Nation People, the Wabanakis (people of the dawn). Psalm 24 is a key Scripture for Maine as we welcomed the King of Glory to come through the East Gate. Maine is the “womb of the morning.” Prayer will birth revival in this “womb” and the Lord will refresh Maine with His dew.
Maryland: (Old Line State) Motto: Manly Deeds, Womanly Word ” I will awaken the seed.”
Although great division will come into Maryland, this division will be used to stir things for righteous change. A declaration was made that Maryland would be a “state of reversal” and that certain laws would change here that will cause the nation to be changed. Historically, Maryland was a state that “kept the line.” Once again, it will be a state where the line in drawn. Dutch shared that the Lord said, “I am going to awaken the seed and open the womb.”

Pray for Israel: ‘Operation Dawn’ hits Gaza Jihad
【Current affairs background: In response to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ, Chinese abbreviation: Jihad) planned to launch an attack on Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Israel time from August 5 to 7, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the Gaza Strip A preemptive air strike called Operation Breaking Dawn was launched.
In retaliation, PIJ also fired more than 1,000 rockets from Gaza to Israel’s border towns, southern and central parts of Gaza in two and a half days. What’s more, on the third day of the conflict, PIJ expanded the range of rocket launches, and at around 8:00 am on Sunday (8/7), rocket alarms were sounded in several communities near the capital Jerusalem. Later in the day, the PIJ said it had fired “massive” rockets at Tel Aviv and southern cities. Thanks to Egypt-based mediation, Israel and PIJ reached a ceasefire agreement at 11:30pm on the 8th.
Over 1,000 rockets fired at Israel from Gaza
As of the evening of August 8, the ceasefire between the two sides and the Israeli army stated that since the start of “Operation Dawn”, Jihad fired more than 1,100 rockets from the Gaza corridor towards Israel. Of these, 200 rockets fell back into Gaza, killing civilians, including children in the Jabaliya refugee camp.
During the Sabbath and Epoch fasting periods, when Jews gathered at the Western Wall and Temple Mount to pray, the Jerusalem area also sounded the air raid sirens for the first time. In addition, the southern Israeli community and the cities of Sderot, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Yavne, the central Israeli city of Rishon Lezion, Air raid sirens were sounded in Holon, Bat Yam, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Modiin and several other cities. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis took refuge in bomb shelters.
In response to the Gaza PIj rocket attack, the Israeli army continued to use the “Iron Dome” missile defense system (Iron Dome) to intercept it. According to the data released by Israel, the interception rate is 96%.
Focus on fighting Islamic Jihad
The targets of the IDF’s “Dawnbreak” (military) operation were limited to the Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Hamas was not hit.
On August 1, the Israel Defense Forces arrested PIJ West Bank leader Bassam al-Saadi and others in Jenin, Samaria, and killed a PIJ militant during the operation. Subsequently, PIJ declared a state of alert and preparedness, and said it would use “the most advanced weapons” to attack Israel.
On August 5, the IDF preemptively attacked the residence of Tayseer al-Jabari, a senior PIJ commander in northern Gaza, through air strikes. Jabari was killed. In retaliation, PIJ fired rockets from Gaza towards Israel. The IDF then killed Khaled Mansour, commander of the PIJ’s southern brigade, in a targeted mid-air attack on Rafah in Gaza. “According to our intelligence… all PIJ’s senior security personnel in Gaza have been eliminated,” said Major General Oded Basiuk, head of the Operation Dawn command.
The IDF said Israeli Air Force jets, armed drones, helicopters and tanks carried out more than 40 strikes, hitting dozens of targets belonging to the PIJ in the Gaza Strip, including military bases, weapons production sites and warehouses, and rocket launch sites , buildings used by operatives, observation posts, etc.
Who is PIJ (Palestinian Jihad)?
PIJ was established in 1981 and is based in the Gaza Corridor. It refused to accept the “two-state solution”, advocated the armed destruction of Israel, and aimed to establish an Islamic State of Palestine. designated as a terrorist organization. It has planned numerous attacks against Israeli civilians, including suicide bombings. After being retaliated by the Israel Defense Forces in 2004, the group’s influence was greatly diminished.
Iran is the main financial donor behind the PIJ and also has strong ties to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which provides it with financial, military and moral resources. After Israel and Egypt cracked down on Hamas in early 2014, PIJ’s power has regained its steady growth with Iranian funding.
PIJ , which also uses the Gaza corridor as a hostile Israeli base, has a lot in common with Hamas : both seek to destroy Israel, are also affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood, and also receive substantial funding and military support from Iran. Because of similar goals. Hamas and PIJ have cooperated in various fields. However, PIJ is much smaller in strength and size than Hamas, which is mainly a radical political and armed group of Islamic Sunnis that holds power in the Gaza corridor. PIJ is closer to Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic of Iran, both of which are Shia Islam.
Tensions between PIJ and Hamas intensify
According to the analysis of the “Jerusalem Post”, Israel’s “Operation Dawn” Hamas and the already tense relations between Hamas and PIJ have further strained, and many PIJ supporters feel betrayed. Hamas did not join PIJ and other armed groups in launching rockets into Israel. There was not even a direct conversation between senior officials of Hamas and PIJ.
Palestinians in Gaza rated Hamas as one of the winners in Israel’s confrontation with PIJ. The PIJ, the second largest armed force in the former Gaza, was hit hard in Israel’s “Operation Dawn”, with senior commanders annihilated and arsenals devastated, making the PIJ a real threat to Hamas’ ability to rule the Gaza corridor frustrated. Hamas can thus consolidate its dominance in Gaza.
Iranian forces behind
According to the “Al Jazeera” report, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Salami issued a statement on 8/6, emphasizing that Palestine will not face the Israeli army’s bombing alone. Restoring the rights of the Palestinian people.
Salami also threatened to launch Hezbollah in Lebanon to use rockets to harass Israel. The conflict in the Gaza Strip not only represents Israel and Palestine, but behind Palestine is the shadow of Iran’s desire to expand its influence in the Middle East. Around Israel, two armed groups, Hamas and Hezbollah, are related to Iran. The Israeli government accuses Iran of Smuggling weapons to them to harass Israel.
Iranian President Lacey also issued a tough statement, claiming that Israel will pay the price.
PIJ Secretary General Ziyad al-Nakhala has been visiting Tehran, the capital of Iran, since 8/2, meeting with the Iranian Foreign Minister, the Iranian President, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, and the Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
According to a report by the London, Tehran – Asgard Al-Awsat news agency 8/8, the adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Akbar Wilayati, has put Tehran and Palestine in Islamic jihad. The relationship between the organizations was described as “close and serious”. Nahara, who is still in Tehran, said that Iran has a prominent presence in the Palestinian territories and that the enemy (Israel) and the United States have adopted a “very weak” policy in the face of Iranian influence.

Pray for Israel: Messianic Believers – Israel’s Critical Mass
【Current affairs background: According to statistics, by 2022, there will be more than 14 million Jews in the world, of which about 6.5 million Jews live in Israel. Of the 14 million Jews, there are about 500,000 who believe in Jesus, out of that 250,000 of whom live in the United States, and only 17-20,000 Messianic believers live in Israel.
The young Messianic group became the eschatological remnant of Israel, a critical mass. How important and precious they are. Young Messianic believers are enthusiastic and eager to pursue the Lord and participate in various equipping training. They long to stand on the shoulders of their fathers and run straight for the mark. They desire to obey completely, to be transformed into the likeness of the Lord Jesus. They are like the ” thirsty ones ” that the Lord Jesus called in the Gospel of John ( John 7:37-38 ).
Shaking cause people to walk together, walking together brings greater shakings
All walks of life in Israel have been shaken since the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Israeli cabinet was disbanded a few weeks ago. How important is the prayer and response of the Israeli Messianic believers as the critical mass in Israel at this time. We believe that the revival and transformation of Israel will come when Messianic believers stand together in one heart and two generations walk in alignment with God.

Critical Event: Reopening the Gateway and Fountain of the Gospel in Bahrain
【Background: At the initiative of President Trump, Bahrain and Israel concluded a peace agreement in September 2020, called the Abraham Accord, declaring friendly relations with Israel of peace, cooperation and constructive diplomacy. Bahrain was the fourth Arab country to recognize Israel at the time. This is a good result of the Trump administration to promote the eradication of global terrorism in the Middle East.
God has already prepared
In the Middle East, where the Gospel of Christ is severely resisted, is Bahrain an important gateway and source of the Gospel? “Bahrain” means “two seas” in Arabic, representing the inner water and the surrounding outer water. Manama, the capital of Bahrain, means “sleeping place”. In the eyes of God, the living water of Christ will flow out of the fountain of Bahrain in His time and spread; this enchanted “Sleeping Beauty” will also be awakened in the kiss of Christ.
In Bahrain, the currently recognized Christian community dates back to the 12th century, but according to archaeological remains, Bahrain had its own Christian church as early as AD500. This means that the Gospel entered before Islam and, with the recognition of the Bahraini government, marked a sign of Christianity in the spiritual realm. The signing of the Abraham Accord was also a prophetic move, paving the way for God to further act in Bahrain and the Arab countries.
Called by God to Do Important Things
Pastor Hanni and his wife Danni have been planting churches in Bahrain for 23 years. When they first prayed to God, God responded that he would raise up local Christians in Bahrain. Amazingly, God took an opportunity to speak to the king of Bahrain himself and asked him to give Pastor Hanni a Bahrain flag. Since then, Pastor Hanni and his wife have been empowered to become the first Christian pastors in Bahrain and can preach anywhere in Bahrain. Afterwards, the local people gradually rose up. At present, there are about 100 churches in Bahrain, and 50% of them are local people.
In 2022, God has called through the “Homecoming” team to gather in Bahrain this October! This time to open the ancient well and to wake up the body of Christ of all nations from its slumber. The ancient wells of Bahrain will not only spew fresh water, but also spread out; Manama will wake up and come alive in the love of the body of Christ, and Bahrain will become the beacon of the Persian Gulf, and even the pilot light of the Middle East!

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. He is raising up His sold out, set apart, Indigenous burning ones, and releasing HIS VOICE to set nations ablaze for Jesus.
Recently, the Lord took me up into an encounter, and I was looking down on my nation of Australia. By the Spirit of God, I knew that this encounter was for Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and other Indigenous people to the lands.
His Glory Released Through the First Nations Indigenous People
I could see glory mist rising up from the land across the nation. As my spiritual eyes zoomed in closer to the land, in the midst of the glory, I could see people dancing, and I heard a glorious sound. It was the First Nations Indigenous people of the land, worshiping and dancing in their cultural way; the dust of the land spraying up as their feet hit the ground. The glory of the Lord was released into the land as they stomped in the dance. The glory spread and filled the land of the nation (see Habakkuk 2:14).
The First Nations people carry a glory that is unique to the land. This glory is about to be released into the nations, and I believe it is a powerful, ancient key to unlock the awakening of nations.
The Rhythm of an Ancient Love
The overwhelming sense which surrounded me was that these First Nation countrymen and women were dancing to the rhythm of an ‘ancient love’ that compelled them to arise and dance with song; an ancient love that wooed them and drew them back to their first love, Jesus.
“Break forth with dancing! Make music and sing God’s praises with the rhythm of the drums! For He enjoys His faithful lovers. He adorns the humble with His beauty, and He loves to give them victory.” (Psalm 149:3-4 TPT) (Photo via Piqsels)
“We love Him, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 KJV)
An Intergenerational Love Drawn from an Ancient Timeline
This ancient love seemed to rise from deep within the age-old layers of this land. It felt to me like an intergenerational love for our Creator was being drawn from an ancient timeline, up through the feet of the First Nations people, and released into the “now” timeline. It was being released through their dance, their song and their hands.
As we all join hands and hearts, the love of God will become known through our lives in the present day. We will be known by the fruit of this ancient love of God; the one who loved us before the foundations of the earth. This intergenerational, ancient love is reigniting within the people.
During this whole encounter, I was surrounded with a strong sense of surrender and being positioned right in the center of a place that beckons, “Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you” (see James 4:8).
Ancient Strongholds Broken
As the perfect love of God poured out through the land and the people, the sheer power of this pure love caused ancient strongholds to be broken off of the land and the people. The land itself was breaking free from shackles and being saturated and soaked in the love and the pure goodness of God.
Unearthing His Hidden Treasures
The love of God was washing away all reproach and revealing these priceless treasures.
“I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.” (Psalm 40:1-3 AMPC)
I believe the Lord is unearthing His hidden treasures. These hidden treasures are the First Nations voices of the Land, which are being unearthed from the lower layers of the land, causing them to ARISE and RESOUND – NO LONGER BOUND! Once hidden, now they will be lifted up from the miry clay to decree and declare the Word of the Lord, and to display His splendor. (Photo via Pxfuel)
First Nations Awakened Sons Shift Into Destiny
What I was seeing was the First Nations awakened sons and daughters shifting into destiny, arising from the land with a dance of deliverance, a strong song and a new voice.
“O God, my saving God, deliver me fully from every sin, even the sin that brought bloodguilt. Then my heart will once again be thrilled to sing the passionate songs of joy and deliverance!” (Psalm 51:14 TPT)

Cleansing Prayers
Dear Heavenly Father, I ________ (put your name in it) come to the throne of grace, through the blood of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, to receive Your abundant grace and mercy. Lord Jesus, ________ confess You are the Lord of my life. I ask the resurrected power of the Holy Spirit to fill and saturate every part of my being. I surrender all my spirit, soul and body completely to You. Now I ask You to reveal to me, remind me of any sin that I have committed known or unknown, so that I can confess and repent of them accordingly. (Recommendation: quiet yourself, so you can allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you)
Cleanse me from all the defilement of the world, sanctify me and my family line of any unrighteousness with the blood of Jesus. Now by my own will, I choose to forgive everyone that has offended me or hurt me, I release them into the freedom of my forgiveness. I also release them from the debts they might owe me. I now cast all my burden to You . Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light. I now put on the armor of God that You have given me, gird myself with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit, my feet fitted with the gospel of peace, so that I can pray and intercede in the Holy Spirit by Your mighty power, and after done all to stand firm.
