Editor’s Note: The month of Elul is the sixth month of the Jewish calendar year 5782, corresponding to August 28 to September 25, 2022 in the Western calendar.

Elul: Blessings for the Hebrew Month

Elul—The Sixth Month of the Hebrew Year 5781

August 9–September 6, 2021

Seeing Breakthrough and Increase

The prior month, Av (July 10–Aug. 8), was about the Lord roaring from Zion and releasing His judgments and decisions that bring breakthrough and justice. Jeremiah 25:30 states, “Like a lion about to attack, the Lord will roar from the heights of heaven; from his holy dwelling on high he will roar loudly.” It required our entering into that roar by faith. Av was also about listening carefully and paying attention to what He says.

Now we come to the sixth month, Elul, which is all about breakthrough, victory, and increase. 

That continuous attitude of “roaring by faith” and listening carefully links us to the breakthrough He has for us.

I like the tradition of reading Psalm 27 each day during this month. The Lord is our light and salvation. He brings increase and victory. Let’s watch for the revelation (light) and victory (salvation) He brings us.

Editorial Special Section: Greg Hood: Push Through the Curve and Come Out with Momentum

Message : Greg Hood  Date: August 19, 2022  Original Source: GiveHim15  

I believe we have been journeying with the Lord through the past several years, wondering, at times, what He is saying to us.

When God speaks to us, what He says may not always be for that minute or that day, but it could be for down the road or even years later. But I’m hearing the Lord say that much of what we have heard for the past few years is beginning to sprout through the ground and bear fruit. For the church, we need to be in a place where we have our ear on the heart of God and listen like we haven’t listened before.

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheets: The Synergy of the Ages

Message : Dutch Sheets  Date: August 15, 2022  Original: GH15    

Agreeing with the Cloud of Witnesses

My journey regarding the Appeal to Heaven flag began as I spoke to the student body of a Bible institute in 2001. I was concerned that the institute was not walking in the fullness of what its founder, Gordon Lindsay, had established. To be clear, it was not an issue of sin; the school was not in an apostate state. The institute was full of good administrators, faculty, and students who loved Jesus. I simply realized that, just as happens to all of us from time to time, the school was experiencing less than what God intended it to experience and needed a stronger connection to its roots. In response to this burden, I chose to replace one of my teaching sessions with a prayer meeting.

【Current affairs background: On July 22, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed the Respect Marriage Act (HR8408) by a vote of 267 to 157. The bill seeks to guarantee same-sex marriage by federal law. This bill has already begun to be considered in the Senate. Five Republican senators have said they will support the case. If more than 10 Republican senators, together with the existing 50 Democratic senators support, the bill will be passed smoothly into federal law. ...Detailed Reading】

• The church is the key to turning things around : Father, we praise and praise You that even though the wicked are ups and downs like the sea, You say, “The wicked will have no peace” (Isaiah 57:20-21).

• • The LORD God will intervene in the hindrance, so that the quick vote of the wicked will not come to pass.

• • Spirit for the fear of God descended upon Republican leaders, giving moral courage to no longer fear LGBTQ voices.

• • There will be regular hearings in the Senate to open up the public and inspire a wave of opposition to the bill.

• • God will work to get enough Republican senators to oppose the bill to keep the case from passing.

• • All 50 states must further legislate to eliminate child brides and protect the rights of pedophile victims.

• • Yahweh God is the God of no control! You reign in America forever and ever!

• • Ekklisia of the earth will arise and shine, and rule the earth with God; seal the breaches, and rebuild the walls.

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.

We thank You!

  • 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!

May Your mercy surround them, draw lines of protection for their hearts, and guard their hearts and minds.

May You raise up and anoint these truly righteous, mercy-loving leaders who walk with You in humility to lead Israel out of the political impasse. May Your will for Israel be done this election season!

In the name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Editorial Special Section: Ron Sawka: Blessings of Month of Elul in 2022

Message : Ron Sawka Date  : August 19,  2022  Source : Ron Sawka Apostolic Ministry

Editor’s Note: The month of Elul is the sixth month of the Jewish calendar year 5782, corresponding to August 28 to September 25, 2022 in the Western calendar. This article is excerpted from the 2006 CD Lecture of the Glory of Zion Prophet Chuck Pierce, who highly recommends Chuck Pierce’s website for more information and More complete explanation.

Elul: Blessings for the Hebrew Month

Elul—The Sixth Month of the Hebrew Year 5781

August 9–September 6, 2021

Seeing Breakthrough and Increase

The prior month, Av (July 10–Aug. 8), was about the Lord roaring from Zion and releasing His judgments and decisions that bring breakthrough and justice. Jeremiah 25:30 states, “Like a lion about to attack, the Lord will roar from the heights of heaven; from his holy dwelling on high he will roar loudly.” It required our entering into that roar by faith. Av was also about listening carefully and paying attention to what He says.

Now we come to the sixth month, Elul, which is all about breakthrough, victory, and increase. 

That continuous attitude of “roaring by faith” and listening carefully links us to the breakthrough He has for us.

I like the tradition of reading Psalm 27 each day during this month. The Lord is our light and salvation. He brings increase and victory. Let’s watch for the revelation (light) and victory (salvation) He brings us.

The Month of Elul

1. The month of the tribe of Gad. When Gad was being born Leah said, “A troop comes” (Gen. 30:11), which indicates increase. Also note Jacob’s blessing in Genesis 49:19, which states, “Even though a troop will trample over him, he shall triumph.” This also indicates that this is a month of triumph and victory.
2. The month to camp— or to find your place in the order of camps—in the company of the Lord. A mistrust of others or a desire to “go at it alone” are because of roots of rejection or an orphan spirit. Last month was about shifting into our identity. The more we are connected to and are part of God’s family, the more this shifting will come about.
3. The month of rewards. Rewards begin to manifest over what you have done. Think “reward,” and ask the Holy Spirit to help you to be able to see all the good things God is giving you. You will begin to reap what you have sown. If you constantly labor and never see the reward, you’ll get burned out. You need to know how to abound. (In Philippians 4:12, Paul said that he knew how to abound [1].) Also in these end times, let us remember the sowing-reaping cycle is rapidly speeding up.
4. The month that the King is in the field. He is coming to visit us and to help us in our work and ministry. Approach Him and allow His countenance to shine upon you. There is an awe of God that we come into so He can pour Himself out upon us.
5. The month of the Hebrew letter yod [י]. Yod is connected to the number ten. It is the only letter that is suspended in midair; it indicates appointed mercy from the hand of God. Ask Him for mercy for any situation in your life that needs solving.
6. The month of Virgo (the maiden). “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine” (Song of Sol. 6:3). The more we are connected to His family, the more we enter into intimacy with Him.
7. A month to run into the tower of might—a strength greater than yours that can encompass you. You don’t have to be strong all the time, but you can enter into His strength (see Proverbs 18:10 [2]).
8. A month for inner knowledge of peace to be activated. Always find time to “regroup” in order to be whole.
9. The “point month.” The understanding of the beginning so you can begin to reach your end.
10. The month to fix what has been broken. (If He doesn’t tell you it’s fixable, let it go.)
11. The month of complex systems beginning to be managed.
12. The “mother month.” The month of nurturing. This month is apostolic, just like Av. Whom are you looking after? Who is looking after you?
13. The month where Rebecca gave birth to Jacob and Esau. Do you “birth” blessing, or something that God is going to hate later on? What are you contending for? What is contending for you?
14. The month of the left hand—controlling the sense of action and good or bad emotions. You need to be sure your emotions are in good order. God gives us great ability to stand in the midst of emotional conflict and still abound. You don’t need to be someone who is unstable or unreliable. You have the ability to be a burden bearer.

(This material comes from my 2006 notes taken from a series of lectures [on CD] given by Chuck Pierce [Glory of Zion]. I highly recommend his website for more materials and more in-depth explanations. —Ron Sawka)

Editorial Special Section: Greg Hood: Push Through the Curve and Come Out with Momentum

Message : Greg Hood  Date: August 19, 2022  Original Source: GiveHim15  

I believe we have been journeying with the Lord through the past several years, wondering, at times, what He is saying to us.

When God speaks to us, what He says may not always be for that minute or that day, but it could be for down the road or even years later. But I’m hearing the Lord say that much of what we have heard for the past few years is beginning to sprout through the ground and bear fruit. For the church, we need to be in a place where we have our ear on the heart of God and listen like we haven’t listened before.

God has brought us into a place of maturity, not to just withstand what lies ahead of us, and I think there are a lot of challenges lying ahead of us, but not anything that we can’t overcome. However, we must be careful. I used to go to an old butcher store as a young boy and watch the butcher trim the fat off the beef. I think that’s what God has been doing in us for the past few years, trimming the fat and getting us into a place where we are not serving Him for comfort, but for the breakthrough. The Kingdom of God is coming in a way that we’ve not seen before, and God is giving us opportunities to take ground like we’ve not done before.

I believe the church is coming out of boot camp and training. We’ve had a number of great books written in past years. God has given us great teachers, programs, and Bible colleges have sprung up to get us equipped in our Christian beliefs. Now we need to get out of the bootcamp mindset and into battlefield mode and mindset. The Lord is bringing us into a place of harvest – traditionally, we think of this as people receiving Christ, getting saved. But I feel harvest isn’t only for individuals but also regions, nations, and governments. God is bringing culture back into the hands of the church. The Ekklesia has grown to a place where we can actually make a difference spiritually and culturally.

Even though we have missed the Jesus movement of the 60s/70s and what happened during the Charismatic Movement, but I believe we won’t miss it this time – we are ahead of the game and are ahead of the curve. The pressure is still there, but the church has to get used to being in a place of pressure. Through different churches and teachings, we have been used to living a life of ease, even compromise – living a life of a “it’s all about me/us” mentality. Some people go to church just to help them over a hump. But that’s changed. If you need a pat on the back and help over the humps, you may be disappointed over the next several years. We are headed into a place where there are going to be a lot of humps. But the church has emerged into a place of being able to carry the weight of God without buckling the knee.

Pressure is important. I like to ride motorcycles. When you come to a curve, you want to put on the brakes. However, the pressure and acceleration you give the motorcycle help you get through the curve. As the church/Ekklesia, we are in a place where we are in that curve, pressure is there – cultural, political, and ideological pressure – we are coming to a place where the world is telling us we need to put on the brakes. But we can’t do that, we need to accelerate and use the momentum the curve gives us to propel us to the other side. Once we come through these tight places, there’s an acceleration that God gives us from the momentum, and we’re going to see a rapid harvest. People will come into the Kingdom like never before.

But I also sense the greatest barrier, even the largest obstacle, will be the religious spirit (not people, but principalities). If we aren’t careful, we will find ourselves on the wrong side of awakening and revival. We must make sure the judgmental mindset is gone from us and from what God wants to do. Many of us are holding on to things that can be great hindrances, keeping us from God’s plan. We must especially be careful our doctrine lines up with God’s Word. I think God is asking us to meet with Him personally, individually, and corporately to deal with our doctrines. I relate them to the precious pigs that the Gadarene was raising. When Jesus showed up on the shore and cast the demons out of the man, they went into the pigs. The pigs didn’t want to live with the demons, so they ran off the cliff. God wants to run some of our previous pigs off the cliff. God is looking for oneness in the body of Christ that will release the power of God in this hour.

During the next few months – even as we walk through the upcoming elections – we must be careful as we look at the candidates – looking at their character and lifestyle. We may need to be reminded that God used Pharoah, Cyrus, Hezekiah – many others who were not the ideal candidates, but He used them. We are there. We are asking Holy Spirit what Father is saying – what is He wanting today. The answer may surprise us and take us backward if we are steeped in a religious ideology that makes us more heavenly-minded than earthly-good. I see that shift coming and God bringing us into a place where we hear Him clearly.

I see it very clearly, we are in a very strategic time as a church. We are in that curve, ready to propel us. Here are a couple of things we need to pay attention to within ourselves, and if we miss some things, it won’t be because God failed, it will be because the church has not been able to make the necessary adjustments that need to happen.

God is not obligated to manifest Himself in a structure that He has not organized or created for His manifestation. He is not obligated to manifest Himself in revival and awakening in our religious structures. He works with us, yes, but He’s always moving us toward change. I think it’s very important to pay attention to where we are right now. As we look toward the upcoming revival and awakening, we must step out of things that are trying/challenging to us. We must allow Holy Spirit to deal with what we are hanging onto as crutches, doctrine, and hindrances. During the next few months, I sense great exposure of false doctrines. There will be an opportunity to change those things and get back on track. God is going to deal with and give opportunity for this across the board – to all believers in all denominations. And as I am saying this, I am seeing a vision over the church and many question marks popping up everywhere. There have to be people qualified to answer these questions and able to say, ‘This is wrong,’ or ‘this is right’ and proven biblically. To get us through this year, God is dealing with us in order that we are positioned well enough to handle the upcoming great outpouring.

So my challenge to you is to go in your prayer closet and ask God, “Why do I believe what I believe, what doctrines and beliefs have I held onto that are not right and don’t line up with Your Word? Give me the grace and boldness to change them.” We are coming to the place where we may have to make choices to follow Christ, even if our friends and family disagree with our decisions. We are in the time of mega decisions, stepping into this with the boldness and power of Holy Spirit, in order to push through the curve and come out with a momentum that brings awakening and revival.

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheets: The Synergy of the Ages

Message : Dutch Sheets  Date: August 15, 2022  Original: GH15    

Agreeing with the Cloud of Witnesses

My journey regarding the Appeal to Heaven flag began as I spoke to the student body of a Bible institute in 2001. I was concerned that the institute was not walking in the fullness of what its founder, Gordon Lindsay, had established. To be clear, it was not an issue of sin; the school was not in an apostate state. The institute was full of good administrators, faculty, and students who loved Jesus. I simply realized that, just as happens to all of us from time to time, the school was experiencing less than what God intended it to experience and needed a stronger connection to its roots. In response to this burden, I chose to replace one of my teaching sessions with a prayer meeting.

As I led the student body in intercession, I heard the Lord whisper a phrase to me, “You need to agree in prayer with Gordon Lindsay.” That startled me; Lindsay had died nearly 30 years earlier.

“Lord,” I said, “is that really You speaking? He isn’t here; he’s in heaven.” In retrospect, it’s comical to try and explain something to the Lord, but I felt I needed to state the obvious. “He’s dead, Lord,” I reiterated.

The response was simple, “Well, his prayers are not dead.”

That really impacted me. If you had asked if I believed Gordon Lindsay’s prayers had died with him, I would have said “no,” yet I had never given the concept any real thought.

Holy Spirit continued, “Until this generation comes into agreement with what he asked me to do, I can’t answer his prayer.”

This greatly impacted me, as I realized God hadn’t said, “I won’t.” He had clearly said that without this generation’s agreement with Lindsay, “I can’t” answer his prayers and do what I promised him.

I began to ponder Hebrews 11, remembering the heroes of faith listed there along with some of their amazing exploits. Interestingly, however, the passage is also clear that some of those faith-heroes did not see the fulfillment of their promises. This has always seemed somewhat contradictory to me. When God searched history to accent greater lives of faith, He chose to list some that did NOT receive the fulfillment of their God-given promises. These people went to the grave with unrealized promises from God, yet they had truly believed, even making it into the great Hall of Faith. Clearly, they weren’t deficient in their walk of faith; why then did they die without seeing the promises fulfilled?

The last two verses of Hebrews 11 give us the amazing answer; they did not receive the fulfillment of their promises because God wouldn’t allow them to be “complete” without us. That is incredible! We, today, are a continuation of these individuals’ callings and assignments. The Greek word translated “complete” also means “to finish; to mature; to reach the intended goal.” Think about the ramifications of this: without us, God can’t finish what He began through those saints; what He started through them cannot mature or reach its intended goal until we grab the baton and run our leg of the race. That is mind-blowing!

God gave these individuals promises, but He often didn’t give them timelines. He did not tell them He would bring the fulfillment into their lifetimes, although I’m sure most of them expected Him to do so. The eternal God, who transcends time, speaks promises that are sometimes more reflective of His nature and relationship with time than ours. At times, He makes promises to people, knowing full well He will deliver on those promises through their children, grandchildren, or spiritual descendants. I wonder what I may be finishing for some pastor or teacher from a few decades ago? Or perhaps for even some flag-waving patriot warrior?

The generations are far more interconnected than most of us realize. In God’s mind, accomplishing something through our descendants is the same as doing it through us. Our comparatively shortsighted approach assumes every promise He makes will take place momentarily, or at the very least before we die! Meanwhile, God feels no pressure and understands that if He fulfills His promises through our offspring (natural or spiritual), the accomplishments were for us, as well as for them.

Conversely, the opposite is also true. The actions and accomplishments of individuals in former generations are sometimes credited to those who follow. Hebrews 7:9 states that the descendants of Levi paid tithes through their great, great grandfather Abraham. I wonder what blessing we’re experiencing today that someone else paid for! There is an aspect of our spiritual walk that stretches beyond the boundaries of our window on earth. We can connect spiritually with past events before, and we can affect future happenings through our actions today.

But Holy Spirit wasn’t finished instructing me in this prayer session. He was about to use a seven-word sentence to rock my finite human mind. These seven words stretched my thinking yet again, and have resonated in me ever since: He said to me, “I need the synergy of the ages.”

“You need WHAT?” I immediately responded.

It is obvious by now that this prayer time was wreaking havoc on my preconceived concepts and paradigms! A 13-year journey was beginning with a series of theological brainteasers that, fortunately, were making me think outside of my God-limiting boxes.

What is the synergy of the ages? I quietly wondered.

Synergy is a fascinating concept. Basically, it is a multiplication of power or effect through a combined effort. In almost all cases in the physical world, one plus one equals two. But not when people work together. When two or more people combine their efforts and strengths, power is multiplied – not just added. God so loves unity and agreement that He created a phenomenon through which power multiplies if we will simply work together!

Synergy, however, not only operates in the natural realm, it also exists in the spirit realm. Prayer is one example. Spiritual synergy takes place when two or more agree in prayer. The result is that through multiplied power, much more is accomplished than would have been had we prayed alone. Leviticus 26:8 teaches us about this power of multiplication, “Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before your sword.” Spiritually, that’s powerful; mathematically, however, it makes no sense. Think about it – if five of us can chase a hundred, that means each of us is responsible for twenty. At that rate, a hundred should chase two thousand, not ten thousand. But something unusual and supernatural takes place through agreement: synergy. When we agree in prayer, power grows exponentially.

Synergy also occurs when generations connect. Honoring our parents increases our years on earth (Ephesians 6:1-2) while disconnecting from them brings curses (Malachi 4:6). Spiritual mantles, another word for callings and giftings, multiply in effectiveness through generational synergy (2 Kings 2:9). God’s plan is always for the present generation to build on the strengths of the previous. This is the synergy of the ages – multiplied power and fruitfulness through generational agreement and honor.

In Al Sander’s book Crisis in Morality! he compares descendants of an atheist, Max Jukes, to the offspring of a well-known preacher of that same era, Jonathan Edwards:

Max Jukes…married an ungodly girl and among their descendants were 310 who died as paupers, 150 as criminals, 7 as murders, 100 as drunkards and more than half of the women were prostitutes.

Jonathan Edwards…lived at the same time and married a godly girl [Sarah Pierpont]. An investigation was made of 1,394 known descendants of theirs. Of these descendants, 13 became college presidents, 65 college professors, 3 United States senators, 30 judges, 100 lawyers, 60 physicians, 75 army and navy officers, 100 preachers and missionaries, 60 authors of prominence, one a vice-president of the United States, 80 became public officials…and 295 college graduates, among whom were governors of states and ministers to foreign countries.

Could any testimony more powerfully make my point? Success, favor, and blessing can multiply down through the generations. But due to our ignorance in this area, we unknowingly break the generational storyline God is writing.

When Holy Spirit spoke to me that day, I was already aware of synergistic prayer. I knew I could agree in prayer with the person next to me, and power would be multiplied. I just didn’t know I could agree with the generation behind me! Generational synergy – the synergy of the ages – was nowhere on my radar. Once God had awakened me to the principle; however, He wasn’t about to stop with a Bible institute. Before He was finished, Holy Spirit would challenge me to reach back to our nation’s founders, agreeing with what He had birthed through them.

And when He did, a forgotten flag would be an important part of the process. I’ll describe that notable introduction soon.

“Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for” (Hebrews 11:1-2 TPT).

Editorial Special Section: Barry Wunsch: High Alert Taiwan

Info : Barry Wunsch Date: August 11, 2022  Original Source : The Canadian Hammer Source : National Revival Unity Prayer Alliance

Editor’s Note :  The Prophet Barry Wunsch of  The Canadian Hammer sent a prophetic dream message about Taiwan on April 25, 2022. At this time of tension between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the following information is for reference, please check the content and pray for it, because the Bible reminds us: “Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt  but test them all; hold on to what is good,” (1 Thess 5:19-21)

During a dream early this morning I was shown Taiwan from a satellite view.

I saw an island with a red zone around it.

I saw a flashing red high alert triangle over Taiwan.

I saw a massive wave coming from the southwest. A white cap tidal wave.

I saw a nuclear blast flash and go off deep under the ocean bed. 

This was a deliberate, static blast that caused an earthquake.

I watched as hundreds of shipping vessels were hit by this wave. Flipping many. Others are throwing cans into the waters.

I saw streets empty.

It was like a ghost town.

No movement.

I saw high rises. Apartments and office towers with people locked in.

I could hear the people crying out to God for help.

Nothing moving in or out.

Food was getting scarce.

Those that were out on the streets were in white hazmat suits.

This hit against Taiwan was going to impact the world.

I saw an ancient silver idol statue.

It was the biggest one there.

And watched as it toppled onto its face.

The white suits were like military robots.

Like a machine they moved about with zero emotions.

I saw the big Asian nation flexing its muscles. I saw a big red spirit starting to snarl and try to roar. But it was nothing to God. It was in the form of a cloud. God could blow on it and it would be gone.

This was a show to the world as an example of what they could do.

It was to be used to bring fear to the Nations.

A table of leaders gathered in a high rise, they had remained hidden away and prepared for this day. They were key for Taiwan. These were brilliant men and women. They held great wealth and power and were surrendered to God and aligned with God’s Kingdom.

They were working on a strategy with The Father to bring freedom to all there, and deal with the enemy.

I saw Jesus enter the room.

Going from person to person hugging them, and as he did they become infused with the love and power of God.

As He did this, they were all able to suddenly see in the spirit.

Jesus released a plan to them all right there, it looked like a hologram cloud that floated above the table for all to see.

It was a 3-d design that was full of every detail. And those at the table were instantly able to interpret it.

The hologram of light began to pulse in rhythm with the Fathers heart, changing colors of every spectrum.

The hope and Spirit of God began to grow and emanate out of that room.

Until a gold shield-like bubble came over Taiwan.

“Taiwan is mine,” says the Lord, ” it belongs to no other. For it is I who placed it on its foundations. There is no one who can get that credit from Me.

Taiwan is mine and no one shall take it from me!

For the Nations are going to see the crack in the enemy’s armor.

Taiwan, I hear your prayers and see your travails.

I will position you to take your shot.

And it will be a clear shot to the heart.

And Taiwan will know My freedom.

Taiwan, you are not alone.

I have not abandoned you.

I have not turned My back.

I am here and I am with you.

I am bringing revival to your land.

So, trust in Me and stay strong for the Nations are watching you and are with you.

Holy is the word of the Lord

HOLD THE LINE!

God Bless and Protect you and your families!

Pray for America: Boycott the Respect for Marriage Act

【Current affairs background: On July 22, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed the Respect Marriage Act (HR8408) by a vote of 267 to 157. The bill seeks to guarantee same-sex marriage by federal law. This bill has already begun to be considered in the Senate. Five Republican senators have said they will support the case. If more than 10 Republican senators, together with the existing 50 Democratic senators support, the bill will be passed smoothly into federal law.

Extreme reaction to overturning of Roe v. Wade

According to the American media “Insider”, after the “Roe v. Wade” case was successfully overturned, Justice Thomas has planned to bring the important case of same-sex marriage “Obergefell v. Hodges” in 2015. v. Hodges) , to the Supreme Court for re-examination. Thomas wrote in the collaborative opinion that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution should not be over-interpreted by the outside world, except that it does not expressly guarantee the right to abortion. should be reassessed together. The Left therefore pushed for the passage of this bill, called the Respect for Marriage Act, which actually was not a respect for marriage at all, but rather the promotion of a radical sexual ideology as a state doctrine. In addition, they warn, the Respect for Marriage Act “is designed to exclude any dissent and silence those who have long believed that the marriage of a man and a woman is essential to human prosperity.”

Potentially serious consequences

The leaders of more than 80 religious and conservative groups have appealed to U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, urging him to persuade Republicans to vote against the Respect for Marriage Act. They denounced the bill as an attack on millions of Americans, especially those who believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. The following may have serious consequences of this bill:

• Completely demolish the marriage defined by God as “one husband and one wife, one man and one woman, for one lifetime”.

• Repeal the Respect For Marriage Act.

• Offset the blow that a conservative justice of the (federal) high court could overturn a wrongful ruling on homosexuality in the future.

• All 50 states and territories in the United States officially recognize gay marriage, pedophile marriage (no matter how old the bride is, one year old can be also); polygamy, polyandry; random marriage (father-daughter marriage, mother-son marriage, grandfather and granddaughter get married, even father and son, grandfather and grandson).

• Christians who oppose this bill are not allowed to run for any elections or hold public office.

• If Christianity retains the Bible, it is bound to become an illegal religion.

What can Christians do?

• Call and fax the Republican senators in this state, let them know you oppose this bill, and explain what you think.

• Fasting and Prayer:

• • Pray for Mat Staver and Liberty Counsel , who are trying their best to block this bill, and their co-workers have one-on-one communication with Republican senators to explain the serious consequences of passing this law.

• • Pray for Republican leaders to stop fearing LGBTQ voices.

• • Pray for Senate proceedings to delay this bill and never use the Voice Voting Act for a quick vote.

• • Pray for God’s intervention, so that the Senate must have a regular hearing, and have time to give the victims of the “child bride” a fair chance to testify and to appeal their grievances in person. Pray that God will use these testimonies to enlighten society and spark a wave of opposition to this bill.

• • Pray that God will change the cowardly hearts of Republican Senators and give moral courage to keep this bill below 60 votes.

• • Ask God to resist Schumer and seal his mouth. May God “strip away the counselor’s clothes”, strip off his leader’s robe, and eliminate his power and tactics, so that he can’t operate the procedure, and can’t put pressure on the people standing by the fence.

• • Not only did God work to make enough Republican senators to oppose the bill, but also further legislation to protect the rights of pedophile victims.

• • All 50 states in the United States will revise their laws to eliminate child brides and impose heavy penalties on child trafficking and sexual assault. (250,000 child brides in the United States from 2000 to 2010). Once the child bride is discovered, the state is responsible for protecting her, providing for her support, and assigning a court social worker to apply for her divorce case⁰, so that she can get out of this abusive fake marriage.

Pray for America: Declarations for the 50 States to Enter the Destiny (5)

Editor’s Note : This is a prayer point for each of 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(7/25), 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:

(21) Massachusetts:  (Bay State)

 Motto:  By the Sword We Seek Peace  

We, the people of Massachusetts, acknowledge with gratitude the goodness of the greatest legislator in the universe, who, in His will, has provided us with a safe harbor of opportunity and prosperity, where there is no fraud or violence, where people covenant to love one another, and where we build a state of peace based on biblical truth for ourselves and for future generations.

Massachusetts is the mother of our nation–the state that represents the very birth and development of our nation. “The voice of MY people will be heard louder than the voice of the enemy in this state.” 1. Pray that the believers have full faith.  2. Pray that they enter into the weapons of deliverance–stir them up.  3. Pray that they frustrate the enemy.  4.Pray that they fight for their covenant.  Chuck said that Massachusetts has been a state where there are no absolute truths.  Do not be afraid.  Be aware of religious and political spirits that will try to align themselves together to frustrate God’s purposes.  Dutch shared that God is coming to bring a Great Awakening to snatch many from hell! God is going to break through in Massachusetts and many of His enemies will become His friends.  God will transform the curses into blessings

(22) Michigan:  (Wolverine State)  

Motto:  If You Are Looking for a Beautiful Peninsula, Look Around You.

We, the people of Michigan, are thankful to the Most High God Almighty for the freedom and blessings we have received, and we sincerely desire those blessings. We sincerely desire that these blessings will not be lost among us and future generations, so we seek God’s security and entrance into His protection.

A State With a Restored Voice  A former mayor of Detroit had given Saddam Hussein the keys to the city.  Thus, the Church in that region lost their voice as the door to another religious structure was opened. Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets exhorted the assembly that these keys must come back into the authority of God’s apostolic realm and the gate must be shut!  They prayed for several days and God intervened in Baghdad. (miraculous event at that time.)  Pray against anti-semitism in this state and the demonic hold of Islam in Detroit. Also Detroit was the first city after Washington D.C. to pattern itself after the Masonic layout of a city.  Pray against that stronghold as well.

(23) Minnesota:  (North Star State)  

Motto:  The Star of the North    The Threshing Floor State

We, the people of Minnesota, thank God for our livelihood and religious freedom, and we long for God’s blessings to continue and endure among us and our descendants. We long for God’s blessings to continue and endure among us and our descendants, and ask God to keep them.

This is a time for Harvest praying.  Minnesota, the Threshing Floor State, is leading the way!  Watch Minnesota move the Harvest from the Threshing Floor into the Storehouse. Chuck Pierce prophesied that there would be great medical breakthroughs in Minnesota.  (Shawn Bolz also prophesied the same thing when he came to Minnesota a couple years ago.)  Dutch Sheets said, “Lord I decree that the State of Minnesota is a threshing floor.  The grain will be so high that they will need help to harvest it.  Fertility and blessing!  The favor of the Lord. You will possess the gates of your enemies.  Jehovah Jireh will manifest.”

Pray for a quick end of the flooding of the Islamic prayer siren throughout the airways of Minneapolis which came about during the lockdown of COVID19.  Pray for righteous leaders in Minnesota and also righteous representatives/senators from Minnesota at the federal level.  Yes, Lord, Minnesota will possess the gates of its enemies!

(24) Mississippi:  (Magnolia State)   

Motto:  By Valor and Arms   The State in the Valley of Decision

We, the people of Mississippi, are gathered together in thanksgiving to the Most High and Almighty God and the blessings He has bestowed upon us. We honor the name of God in this land.

Mississippi is at one of the greatest crossroads of any group of people that I have ever ministered to in my life…This state, your destiny, whether you move on in the Lord, you are so in the balance. There is something about this state right now that if very important to the Lord.  And the Lord is really raising the bar for Mississippi.”  Chuck Pierce said that the meaning of Mississippi is “father of waters.” God wants to break the orphan spirit of Mississippi and raise up the apostolic mantle. I am bringing a gathering anointing in this state.  The isolation on you will break.  From this you will see much fruit come forth.”

(25) Missouri:  (Show-Me State)  

Motto:  The Welfare of the People   The Show Me Your Glory State

We, the people of Missouri, in deep reverence for the Supreme Ruler of the universe and in immense gratitude for His goodness and kindness, ask God’s help to build a better home for Missouri. We ask God’s help in building Missouri as a better home for us.

Missouri has more rivers than any other state.  Declare that they will have all the rivers of God flowing there!  Dutch said, “Missouri, help is on the way!  God is going to show His glory to the “Show Me” state. The river of God will flow through Missouri bringing signs, wonders, and miracles.  God is releasing the “seer” anointing, opening the eyes of Missouri to see prophetically.  Four cities will have a release of evangelism that will overtake them:  Kansas City,

St. Louis, Jefferson City, and Carthage. Missouri has lifted prayer and worship to a new level and is setting the captives free.”

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: Watching for Israel’s Election Season

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

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

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