Editorial Special Section: Global 40-Day Fasting and Prayer (January 21 to March 1)

Date: January 21, 2023  Source : Rebuilding the Tabernacle of David (RTOD)

RTOD and Prayer Ministries believe that this year, 2023, is the kairos when God will begin to exercise His reign in all nations. At the same time, we are all aware that we are currently living in a critical time, seeing the changes in the political arena of nations, another wave of pandemic sweeping across the countries, unprecedented natural disasters and crisis, the possibility of financial breakdowns, gender distortion and war once again wakes us up. It’s time to call family members from the nations to join in 40 days of fasting and prayer to align with God and to align with one another.

We will post a link to this 40 Days of Fasting prayer update here, and go to the Global 40 Days of Fast & Pray homepage for details.

Editorial Special Section: Bob Jones: The Coming Promise

Message : Bob Jones  Date: February 14, 2023  Source : David’s House

Editor’s note : This year, February 14, 2023 is the 9th anniversary of Bob Jones’ departure, so this article is hereby published to commemorate this influential contemporary prophet. This is the last message of Bob Jones during his lifetime, and it is very shocking. He died in the arms of the Lord on February 14, 2014, US time. Many people said that he returned to his beloved Lord on Valentine’s Day, dancing the eternal dance of joy. Bob. Jones is a contemporary prophet, carrying the great love and truth of the Lord Jesus. God has given him the ability to predict for more than forty years. He predicted earthquakes, tsunamis, comets, and weather patterns. Just like Daniel, he exercised his gifts with amazing ability. Bob often told leaders about dreams and experiences, and at the same time dream interpretation.

After his death in 1975, God sent him back to serve the leaders of the church, to reach the people with God’s love and truth, and to equip the saints by knowing spiritual gifts. God promised Bob that he would see a billion souls enter the kingdom of God in one of the great waves of the Harvest of the Last Days.

Editorial Special Section: Rick Joyner: The Beautiful Walk

Message : Rick Joyner Date: February 28, 2023  Original : Morning Star Ministries

In I Chronicles 16:29, II Chronicles 20:21, Psalm 29:2 and 96:9, we find the phrase “the beauty of holiness.” There is a beauty to holiness to which all people are drawn. There is a repulsion in counterfeit holiness by which all people are repelled. To distinguish between true and false holiness is critical to the victorious Christian life. It is the difference between being on the path of life and being on the road to increasing death and separation from God. We must distinguish between these two paths.

Message : Nita Johnson  Date: February 26, 2023    Source : The World for Jesus Ministries

On January 29th, which was our last meeting together, in the middle of the night, while I was in prayer, the Lord spoke to me and told me that what He had given us that day was the first release of the Great Awakening. Now I, quite honestly, wasn’t looking for that. I was looking for a great revival, a great outpouring of revival, but I wouldn’t have given it that name because He hadn’t talked to me about that previously.

Pray for America: Now is the Turning Point!

Editor’s note:  This article is a post from Dutch Sheets on March 3rd of “Give Him 15 Minutes”, sharing a prophetic word from Gina Gholston . Gina is a prolific dreamer and has been used regularly by God to share prophetic words and teachings to the Body of Christ since March 12, 2013. This particular dream has special meaning because it has to do with America and our hopes for American renewal .

Background: In this dream, I saw myself standing on a beach where an urgent scene was unfolding in front of me. The setting changed, and I realized I was standing on a stage in front of a very large group of people. All of a sudden, the beach scene began being shown on a movie screen above my head, giving everyone in the room a full view of what I was seeing: a gigantic, beached whale. Written across its back were the words, ‘The United States of America.’ Suddenly, God gave me the interpretation of the vision, and I began urgently declaring, ‘We have to turn this thing! We have to turn it quickly, or it will die! It’s not dead yet, but we must turn it quickly!’  ...Detailed Reading

【Prayer】

We declare in the name of Jesus Christ :

  • The Spirit of God and His Word are the foundation of the United States, the fountainhead of the nation.
  • God is revealing America’s prophetic destiny.
  • No one or anything can stop the action that God has started!
  • God did not delay, we are full of hope·
  • The wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing on America and refilling America.
  • The Body of Christ will be a “whirlwind” of God, turning the hearts of many.
  • Angels of God will help the Council of Heaven to align and act with God’s plan.
  • Now is the turning point for revival!
  • America will be saved by God!

In the name of Jesus, amen!

Editorial Special Section: Bob Jones: The Coming Promise

Message : Bob Jones  Date: February 14, 2023  Source : David’s House

Editor’s note : This year, February 14, 2023 is the 9th anniversary of Bob Jones’ departure, so this article is hereby published to commemorate this influential contemporary prophet. This is the last message of Bob Jones during his lifetime, and it is very shocking. He died in the arms of the Lord on February 14, 2014, US time. Many people said that he returned to his beloved Lord on Valentine’s Day, dancing the eternal dance of joy. Bob. Jones is a contemporary prophet, carrying the great love and truth of the Lord Jesus. God has given him the ability to predict for more than forty years. He predicted earthquakes, tsunamis, comets, and weather patterns. Just like Daniel, he exercised his gifts with amazing ability. Bob often told leaders about dreams and experiences, and at the same time dream interpretation.

After his death in 1975, God sent him back to serve the leaders of the church, to reach the people with God’s love and truth, and to equip the saints by knowing spiritual gifts. God promised Bob that he would see a billion souls enter the kingdom of God in one of the great waves of the Harvest of the Last Days.

Bonnie (Bob’s wife) has a great love for God and His word and the cross of Jesus, she loves children and loves to bless them with gifts of joy, truth, love and words of encouragement, Bonnie has the gift of prophecy , performing healing and miracles at the same time, she is passionate to see women freed from the fear of men and enter into their gifts and calling, she is an advocate for women to enter their rightful place beside their husbands By.

While worshiping and praising God, Bob saw a vision of an apple tree in full bloom. After praying to God to let him understand the meaning of this, God told him that there are many people who are already in the budding state, and they have been waiting for that which can be traced back. to a promise many, many years ago.

Now God says that before the apple trees bloom this spring, their buds will bloom. While some of these are ancient promises, before the apple trees bloom in the spring, they will begin to bloom and they will bear the fruit of righteousness.

The Peacemaker plProspers

In the prophecy of the fruit, the apple represents peace. So it means that many “peacemakers” will come out in great numbers, or come into their divine calling, by this spring, and they will bring forth the fruit that God has called them to bear. So get ready to see these peacemakers emerge bearing the fruit of God and revealing the “Son of Peace” to this world .

In the next season, the peacemakers will continue to appear to reconcile human souls with the Father. As they reveal the Father’s love to human souls, it will bring stability to the Body of Christ in various ways. Through the management of these peacemakers, first of all, they will bring the souls of men into a place where they can enter into the peace of God, which is beyond human comprehension, and they will also enter into the love of God, and This will create the fruit that God wants now in the body of Christ. This means that the appearance of the fruit is  needed for the harvest.

“The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7 Modern Chinese Version) “The peace of God” will be yours, and that peace is through Christ. The salvation of God guarantees a peaceful state of soul, so that there is no fear from God, and that peace can satisfy many and all kinds of people in the world.

The peace that God has given us is beyond the comprehension of the world. Unfortunately, many of the body of Christ view the Father from the wrong perspective, seeing Him as a cruel master rather than a judge of love and justice. Ninety-five percent of the Body of Christ believe that the Father is like a judge squeezing them all the time. They blame the Father for disasters and wounds, but in reality it is Satan’s work.

Heavenly Father just removed His hand where He was no longer welcome, but now we will start to see Him as He is – God is love, and love is beyond any love you could ever expect. As we are reconciled to our Heavenly Father, this blooming flower will begin to turn into fruit, and that fruit will begin to appear this year, bear more next year, and even more after that.

Armory of God’s Love

“I opened the armory, and drew out the weapons in my fury. I, the Lord Most High, the Captain of Hosts, will deal with Babylon.” (Jeremiah 50:25 Modern Chinese Version)

God is equipping the body of Christ with the weapon of His “divine love ,” which the enemy cannot defend against. We’ll start to see the armies of God united together, a kind of common union, so that the enemies of the land will have to leave the whole city. This army is poised to win entire cities, and eventually entire states, and in some parts of the world, entire countries.

This is the year when the armies of God come together with the angelic hosts innumerable, and the weapons cannot be defeated by the enemy. The angelic host is here now to prepare the body of Christ for harvest and there will be a great victory. Just this year, even the trees bloomed, and Satan couldn’t stop it from happening.

Visions of the Armory of God

In the vision, Bob saw that the armory of God was now open, and that the Father was unleashing weapons of warfare that had never been provided to mankind before. In this vision, there was a weapon in my hand, and the mere touch of the weapon terrified me. There is nothing in the world today that can stand against the weapons that the Father brings out of His armory. There are some first things He has to deal with, and that is in Jeremiah 51. In fact, the first thing He will deal with is always against his church.

Jeremiah 51:20-25 : “[Cyrus of Persia, soon to conquer Babylon] is my ax and weapon of war; with thee I will smash the nations, with thee I will destroy the nations ; Horses and riders; with you you smashed chariots and those who sat on them; with you you smashed men and women; with you you smashed old men and young his herds; with you he crushed the farmer and his pair of oxen; with you he crushed the governor and his vice-governor. “I will take vengeance [completely and thoroughly] before your eyes on the Babylonians and the inhabitants of the Chaldeans,” says the LORD. all the wickedness that Zion has done [I will do this].” And the LORD said: You mountain of destruction [that is burning away, you will become a barren, desolate, extinct volcano], the one that [will] destroy the world Mountain, I am against you. I will stretch out my hand to you, and I will roll you down from the [burnt] rock, and I will make you a burning mountain [burned into ashes ].”

[Note: Cyrus was the founder of the Persian Empire. Under his rule, his empire included all the civilized countries in the ancient Near East, and also included most of Southwest Asia, and parts of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Its empire stretches from the Hellespont in the west to the Indus in the east. king of kings. He first conquered the kingdom of Medes, then the kingdom of Lydia, and then the kingdom of Neo-Babylon. (Wikipedia)】

The Ministry of the Peacemaker

What God is doing is uniting the churches with each other because these weapons that are being unleashed cannot be directed by one person, it will take teams to direct and manage these weapons, and it is usually a team of about 12 people, and these teams will be in Unity in the same thinking and goal, when they go out to fight, they order and declare according to the heart of the Father, and these orders will be established according to the will of the Father.

“Whatever you have resolved to do, it will be done to you, and the light will shine on your way.” (Job 22:28) This is the vision I have seen – the blossoming of the apple tree will be the prosperity of our spirit and use it to Worship the Father in spirit and truth. This is our human soul making peace by knowing the truth, which makes the soul obey the spirit and our spirit to be controlled by conscience (actions, deeds and thoughts) so that the body of Christ will know and know the God of the Divine nature of Father God – love.

He loves you! The Bible makes it clear that God loves us, it is His nature, because God is love ( 1 John 4:8 ). The whole essential characteristic of the peacemakers will be the love of God, and love will be the fruit they bear.

Now comes the peacemakers, who are reconciled to God and to man. They embody the nature of the Father – Love! The love of the Father is all authority over His children. I don’t know how soon the fruit will ripen after the flowering, but I do know that the flowering will end before the middle of May and the fruit will begin to set and ripen. From the visions I’ve seen, this fall is going to be awesome.

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheets: Get Ready!

Message : Dutch Sheets    Date: March 2, 2023 Source : “Give Him 15 “

Editor’s note : This message is part of Dutch Sheets’ March 2 post on “Give Him 15 Minutes.” In the post, Duck explains different but important concepts of time and seasons to help the church prepare for the coming revival.

God does not pour out His life and blessings when He “finally chooses or decides to.” As the eternal God who sees the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10), He does not have to “finally decide” whether or not He wants to do something. His works and ways are predicated on principles and truth, not His mood or emotions.

Where revival is concerned, God must do so when hearts are hungry and ready to receive Him. Therefore, He uses the desperation and needs of people to create this hunger, and uses the prayers of His people in this process. He also prepares the hearts and understanding of His people to be able to work with Him in these outpourings of His Spirit.

Obviously, these things take time. The Bible says much about times and seasons. I have often spoken about “time” on the GH15 posts because discerning the times and seasons is critical if we are to cooperate with God. We can miss an opportune time, and we can get ahead of His timing. He alone sees and understands all the parts of His overall plans, and we must discern and be led by Holy Spirit in order to successfully partner with Him (Romans 8:14). This is why the prophetic anointing of Christ is so important for the church.

Let’s review for a moment. The Scriptures speak of chronos times and seasons. This is general time, a season of time (Strongs 5550). We get our English word “chronology” from this Greek word. In the life of a farmer, this would be the season of plowing, sowing, tending to the growing crop, and the many other practical aspects of producing a harvest.

Kairos is a word meaning a strategic or opportune time (Strongs 2540). Again, where a farmer is concerned, this is when the harvest is ripe and must be reaped. For an investor, the kairos time is when they must pull the trigger on buying or selling. For a pregnant woman, it is birthing time. Abraham was told that he and Sarah would have a son. Most of us would expect the child to come within the next year or so. They certainly did. Instead, however, they entered into a 25-year chronos season of preparation. Then, Yahweh appeared to them again, saying it was time (Genesis 17:21) and Sarah would have a child a year from that moment. Understanding the times and seasons is important.

There is also the word horaios. This is “the right time.” The now time (Strongs 5611). For the delivering mother, it’s time to push. For the farmer, the combine had better be in the field. This is the word used in Acts chapter 3 when Peter was used to heal the lame man at the gate called Beautiful.

“Beautiful” is this Greek word, and does not mean pretty or attractive. It means “a right time.” It is only translated as “beautiful” in the context of circumstantial beauty. When circumstances come together in the right way at the right time, this creates a beautiful thing. In His sovereignty and foreknowledge, God had named it this to paint a picture. Then He made sure this lame beggar was positioned daily at the “right time” gate (Acts 3:2). Jesus passed by him multiple times and did not heal him. Why? He was saving this miracle for “the right time.” He wanted it to demonstrate to all of Jerusalem that Christ was truly the Messiah, and had risen from the dead. All of Israel knew of this man who sat at the gate, and the miracle performed in Christ’s name launched the early church into an entirely new season. The chronos season of Christ’s life and ministry had led to the kairos season of the Cross and Pentecost, which led to the horaios right time for this miracle and the outpouring in the book of Acts.

The last word associated with time in the New Testament is pleroo, which means fullness (Strongs 4137). This is the fullness of time when a season has reached its culmination. A new one can now begin.

It is becoming clearer each day that we are in a kairos season of spiritual harvest. Many horaios (right time) occurrences will take place: breakouts of revival, miracles, supernatural conversions and transformations, and more. Like Peter and Acts chapter 3, we must be prepared. Although it was time for the miracle, he (Peter) still had to hear Holy Spirit’s alert and respond in faith, seizing the moment.

It would be hard to believe that the outpourings at Asbury and elsewhere, coinciding with the Jesus Revolution movie, are coincidental. Could God be telling us that the Great Awakening, which some of us have been speaking of, is about to go to another level? I feel that He is.

Anyone with any discernment whatsoever knows there is no other hope for America. But we’ve been in equally low places in our nation before, and God has saved us through powerful and massive revivals. This will happen again. Since we know He uses our prayers to operate, we must continue to diligently pray.

We must also prepare in other ways. As was presented in the Jesus Revolution movie, which I recommend you see, revival comes in unexpected ways and through unlikely people. And it usually gets messy. Stewarding it can be incredibly challenging. Many leaders in the church will reject it because of the baggage brought by new believers, others because it doesn’t fit their theology. I saw an Instagram clip regarding the Asbury outpouring, in which the entire post was arguing that it wasn’t yet a true revival, so shouldn’t be called one. As though the term used to refer to it is what matters most. Religious spirits will always seek to divide us and impose their theology. God is moving – rejoice!

We must prepare in numerous ways, sharpening our sickles and trimming our lamps (Matthew 25:7). We must make sure they are filled with fresh oil. We should be allowing more time in our services for prayer and worship, giving Holy Spirit more opportunities to move. We should be looking for ways to work with other people and groups. It is not a time to critique; it is a time to partner in every way possible.

Churches and leaders should be preparing their people to lead others to Christ. Make sure they know how to do this. Create entry points in the life of your congregation for unbelievers to enter. Begin discussions with your leaders on how you will handle challenging and delicate situations. How will you treat the same-sex couple, the prostitute, the drug dealer, the smelly homeless person, the gang member, etc., who enter your congregation looking for hope? How will you protect the innocent and the children, discerning the predators, without rejecting the true seekers? How will you feed and clothe the poor? Revival can and will be challenging. We must prepare.

Watch the Jesus Revolution movie (it’s currently in the theaters). It tells the story of one part of the Jesus People revival of the 60s and 70s, the Calvary Chapel movement under Chuck Smith and others. The overall Jesus People outpouring  occurred in thousands of churches all across the nation with millions of young people coming to Christ. Yet, the movie gives us a good picture of some of the challenges we will face. Watch it. Allow Holy Spirit to dream through you of this happening again. And allow Him to prepare your hearts.

Pray with me:

Father, we are confident in Your wisdom and understanding. Your ways are always right. You are never having to react to satan‘s or man’s actions, hoping You are making the right decisions. You have been planning and preparing for another great season of harvest around the world, and You have been preparing Your people as instruments of this revival.

We recognize the times and seasons. We can discern with our spiritual eyes that the harvest is ripe. As Your harvesters, we know we must prepare. Help us to do so, Holy Spirit. Sharpen our sickles. Fill our lamps. Fine-tune us to Your gifts and voice. Give us Your ideas and instructions on how to prepare. Awaken the watchmen to sound the alarm even more. Awaken Your leaders to the fact that we cannot conduct business as usual in this hour.

And regarding this harvest, we call it in with Spirit-led decrees. We decree that it will not be lost or stolen. We prophesy to the wind of Your Spirit, just as You instructed Ezekiel to do, “Blow wind of heaven, blow!” We decree that every strategy and plan of hell to stop this will fail. We decree that the veil of darkness covering the hearts of entire people-groups and nations will be lifted in this season. We decree that America shall be saved, and light will come to the nations of the world. And we pray and declare these things in Christ’s name.

Our decree:

We decree: it IS time for worldwide harvest, and the reapers are ready!

Editorial Special Section: Rick Joyner: The Beautiful Walk

Message : Rick Joyner Date: February 28, 2023  Original : Morning Star Ministries

In I Chronicles 16:29, II Chronicles 20:21, Psalm 29:2 and 96:9, we find the phrase “the beauty of holiness.” There is a beauty to holiness to which all people are drawn. There is a repulsion in counterfeit holiness by which all people are repelled. To distinguish between true and false holiness is critical to the victorious Christian life. It is the difference between being on the path of life and being on the road to increasing death and separation from God. We must distinguish between these two paths.

True holiness is one of the most compelling and contagious characteristics a person can have. Yet, most Christians think holiness is a form of legalism, harsh judgment, or readiness to smite for the least wrongdoing. This has been one of the most effective lies of the devil to destroy God’s people and to sow death and destruction, rather than the life and healing we are called to carry, through Christianity.

As instructed in Hebrews 12:14, we are to: “Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification (holiness) without which no one will see the Lord.” This makes sanctification as important as it can be. One of the most important tests to determine the level and quality of our faith is: Are we growing in sanctification? To grow in sanctification means to dispel the lies which have bound us and to know the truth that sets us free.

There is an understandable repulsion to the counterfeit holiness, which is legalism. The self-righteousness of the Pharisees was Jesus’ worst enemy when He walked the earth and continues to be the worst enemy of all who walk the path of life. On the contrary, true holiness is one of the most beautiful, compelling, and attractive characteristics a human being can have, because it is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

To know the “Holy” Spirit, we must first get to know His first name. “Holy” is His first name because it describes His basic nature. We cannot love the Holy Spirit and be a proper host for Him without loving holiness. To love and to walk in holiness is to walk in the greatest freedom and fullness we can know on this earth.

False holiness makes the bride want to be perfect for her Bridegroom out of fear. If He sees any imperfection in her, He will strike and reject her. True holiness makes the bride want to be perfect for the Bridegroom, because she is so in love with Him and earnestly desires to be perfect and please Him in every possible way. Love characterizes true holiness. Fear characterizes false holiness.

True holiness is what Adam walked in before the fall. When we see true holiness demonstrated, it calls to something deep within us to walk in the way we were made—like wearing tailor-made garments so comfortable and attractive everyone wants garments just like them.

True holiness does not add pressure to our lives, but life and power. As we are told in Romans 14:17, “the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” True righteousness is in the Lord. It is the highest state of existence we can have. In His kingdom and domain, there is peace and joy far beyond anything we can experience.

This peace and joy in God’s righteousness both gives life and attracts others to it. Jesus is the holiest man who ever walked the earth, yet sinners were attracted to Him. He was also attracted to them because He loved them. He never condemned sinners but touched them so they wanted to rid themselves of any sin that was not in harmony with Him.

True holiness is true love and liberty. False holiness is fear which builds prisons and seeks to put all men in them. These are the two most opposing forces on earth. Thankfully, love is stronger than death and will always prevail.

Editorial Special Section: NITA JOHNSON AT BETHEL. 2.26.22.

Message : Nita Johnson  Date: February 26, 2023    Source : The World for Jesus Ministries

On January 29th, which was our last meeting together, in the middle of the night, while I was in prayer, the Lord spoke to me and told me that what He had given us that day was the first release of the Great Awakening. Now I, quite honestly, wasn’t looking for that. I was looking for a great revival, a great outpouring of revival, but I wouldn’t have given it that name because He hadn’t talked to me about that previously.

But that is what He is calling and what is happening. So by early that very week, we started seeing outpourings taking place in the universities. And I really wasn’t surprised that they were calling it the Great Awakening. God knows what He’s doing and He’s telling His church what He’s doing. And we’re just so thankful for that.

Then on February 22nd, He awakened me at 2:22, that’s 22 minutes after two. And 222 means God’s eternal purpose. So He began to speak to me about how the things that are happening and the things that are going to be happening represent His eternal purposes in the earth at this time. Isn’t that exciting? I want you to think about something. God created Heaven and earth. He didn’t create them so that He could sit on His glorious thronemand look down at the people of the earth to occasionally see what we’d like. He created the earth for you and me to give us a place to worship the Father. That’s what we’re here for. To worship Him and to bring Him glory.

HE BREAKS THROUGH VEILS OF ENEMY AND OUR OWN HEART

So when He looks upon the earth, or does what He’s doing right now begins to make Himself better known, it’s because He wants that fellowship. And He’s willing to break through the many veils that the enemy establishes (and that our own hearts establish) to actually prevent the very thing we say we want. 

So He begins to send His glory. He begins to send His angelic visitors, His angelic missionaries, if you will, to the earth – to begin to break down these strongholds, so that He can visit.

Now it’s only been, I don’t know, a matter of days since I was worshiping Him. And I suddenly was taken to a place where I was allowed to see another convoy, another army of majestic angels being sent to the Earth. And the thing that was so amazing is: as they came down from Heaven to the earth they formed what looked like a bridal veil, and it was so beautiful. It was coming down so that they could prepare more places, more ways, prepare the earth for greater visitation from the Lord.

THE VISION: 333. WE ARE NOT LATE!  HIS PERFECT TIME

On February 22nd the Lord spoke to me about the Great Awakening. It is 333, and I saw that in a vision (just like I saw the 222 in a vision). And I know that 333 means we are functioning in God’s Kairos moment. So we have God’s eternal purpose released to us in a perfect moment. Do you know what that tells me? We’re not late. It’s His perfect time.

It’s really sad, it’s discomforting to think we’re late. And we think “Boy, I just totally can’t get what He wants to give us in the lateness of the hour.” But He’s saying we’re not late. We’re right on time!

Now I want to give you one more exciting piece of news before I share with you what I’m going to share. THE LORD HUNGERS FOR YOU The Lord hungers for you. He doesn’t hunger for what you do, for what you are, for what you can ever be.

It isn’t that we are not called to do a work for Him. We are called. Everything outside of this building is a mission field. We are called. But His heart is for you – His Heart is to lift you up into a place where you can walk with Him and know Him like His Son knew Him, and walked with Him on this earth.

HIS WORK IN US: PREPARATION FOR REVELATION, WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE

He wants to reveal the depths of Himself to you. But these revelations take time because our souls are not fit for them. He must do great work on the inside of us to prepare us for the revelation. Because you see, everything you’ve shown, you’re accountable for. And if He gives you revelation after revelation after revelation and you do not seek to live out these revelations, then you suffer harm. You suffer loss. He doesn’t want that.

So He wants to prepare you spiritually, enlarge you spiritually, strengthen you spiritually to hear His voice, to know and understand His ways so that you can walk with Him in glory.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON TWO PLANES

There are people today who live on the earth but they live in heaven. They live in both planes all the time. Now, the Lord took me, took my spirit to heaven many years ago and it has been there ever since. He doesn’t do that unless He has built your soul to accommodate His Spirit and His Spirit’s even stronger workings. For if you’re not built up in Him like a mighty edifice then your soul, your flesh cannot tolerate that kind of presence from the Lord.

I know others, some that even live more in Heaven as they are here; in their life, traveling back and forth between Heaven and earth is substantial and it is awesome. This isn’t just for a few. Anyone who will can have it.

He came to me many years ago, many, many years ago, decades ago. Because I’ve had so many experiences with Him, and the person who was traveling with me at that time kept saying, “You need to tell the church what God is saying to you.”

And I’d say “No, this is sacred, this is private. I’m not going to tell.” And so we’d have these conversations frequently. When we would minister at churches together, I would go back to the hotel and spend my time with the Lord.

She’d go out to the restaurant and have fellowship time with the pastor. But what she would do is sit and tell the pastor what I see. So when I would see the pastor, he’d say “Nita, how can you not share these things with the church.”

I said because they’re sacred. I can’t do it.“

“You need to do it.”

 Well anyway, long story short: so the Lord came to me. And He said to me, “Why do you think I give you these incredible experiences and revelations about what I’m doing?”

I said “Because You love me?”

He said nothing – you know, no response.

I said “Lord, I really don’t know.”

He said “You’re a prophet. I’m giving them to you to give to my church.“

And I said “Lord, I have one problem with that. When you start talking about spiritual things in the church, you get people roused up. And if they don’t understand it, don’t want it, they persecute you. And, it even one goes to the pastor, then the pastor persecutes you. So what has been gained?”

He said “What does it matter to you how they receive what you said? That’s my business. Your job is to obey.

So you really want to hear what I have to say, right? Turn in your Bibles please to Joel 2.

2 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on My holy Mount [Zion]. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of [the judgment of] the Lord is coming; it is close at hand—

2 A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and of thick mists and darkness, like the morning dawn spread upon the mountains; so there comes a [heathen, hostile] people numerous and mighty, the like of which has never been before and shall not be again even to the years of many generations.

3 A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has escaped [the ravages of the devouring hordes].

4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses and horsemen, so do they run.

5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains they leap—like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a mighty people set in battle array.

6 Before them the peoples are in anguish; all faces become pale.

7 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war. They march each one [straight ahead] on his ways, and they do not break their ranks.

8 Neither does one thrust upon another; they walk every one in his path. And they burst through and upon the weapons, yet they are not wounded and do not change their course.

9 They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up on and into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.

10 The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining.

11 And the Lord utters His voice before His army, for His host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful who execute [God’s] word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can endure it?

12 Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].

13 Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met].

Let’s go to v. 15, 

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly.

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and the nursing infants; let the bridegroom [who is legally exempt from attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None is exempt from the humiliation.]

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the [heathen] nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

18 Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people.

19 Yes, the Lord answered and said to His people, Behold, I am sending you grain and juice [of the grape] and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the [heathen] nations.

20 But I will remove far off from you the northern [destroyer’s] army and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, with its front toward the eastern [Dead] Sea and with its rear toward the western [Mediterranean] Sea. And its stench shall come up [like that of a decaying mass of locusts, a symbol and forecast of the fate of the northern army in the final day of the Lord], and its foul odor shall come up, because He has done great things [the Lord will have destroyed the invaders]!

21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things!

22 Be not afraid, you wild beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness have sprung up and are green; the tree bears its fruit, and the fig tree and the vine yield their [full] strength.

23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He gives you the former or early rain in just measure and in righteousness, and He causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.

HOW DOES A SOULISH PERSON KNOW WHO GOD ALMIGHTY IS?

When you stop to think about the nature and character of God, think about this question. How does a being who is human, soulish – (no matter how great their understanding may be of temporal things, they may be known for their wisdom, known for their philosophies; they may be highly honored for their contributions toward humanity and for humanity; but they’re not spirit beings) –  how does one who is not spirit know God almighty, who is?

We have people all over the world that teach and preach the Word of God. And what they give you is milk. They don’t help you come to learn God. Because they have come to learn God, they’ve learned about Him but they do not know Him!

How do you give God to someone if you don’t know Him?

God wants to speak to us. The Old covenant is full of prophets who spoke about – you hear me? – about God. Few knew Him. They had not the ability, the spirit, the properties to impart God to His people. So the Jewish people were hearing about God for generations.

But who wants to wait knowing God?

He is Spirit. They were flesh, they were soul. So the Bible tells us in the Book of Hebrews that God taught in past times to us through the prophets. Right? “But in these last days. He speaks to us by His Son.”  Why? If His Son has freedom in the vessel that is speaking, His Son imparts Spirit Into your spirit through the utterance of their mouths.

If they don’t have a prayer life and they don’t know God they are as good

to us as the old covenant people that neither do both.

DAVID KNEW GOD

How many of you can say, “Many have been the times that when I‘ve been really hurt or been in trouble, I want to go to the Psalms. I’m just drawn to the Psalms and receive ministry.”  How many of you? Not many? Out of the Old Testament prophets, probably King David knew God more than any of them outside of Moses. That’s why his Psalms have such power even today.

MOSES, HIGHER THAN ANY BEFORE HIM – OR AFTER HIM, UNTIL CHRIST

When we read about Moses, and we study his ways in the midst of the people (guiding, leading, teaching the people) we know that this man is a representative of the Father – higher than any has been before him, or after him until Christ. So much so that the very glory of Heaven shined from his being in holiness. They had to cover him so they could bear to hear his words.

JESUS IS NOW SPEAKING THROUGH THOSE IN UNION

Jesus is now speaking to His church, because He can impart to our hearts and our spirits, what no man can do.

When He speaks through a mouthpiece in the church that He owns – literally owns by walking in union with them they have the same capacity to impart truth to God’s church.

That’s what this Awakening is all about. If we see healings and miracles, that’s wonderful. It’s amazing, right? But what this Awakening is about: God’s coming to impart Himself to His church, impart higher truth to His church, and even bring many into union with Himself.

Everyone has to play the role. It’s not going to happen by accident. You have to have prayer life, you have to have Word life, you have to live to obey Him. And as you do that, you will become recreated in Christ. I’m going to read this to you and then I’m expelled of it. These words were given to me directly by the Lord.

Revival, this awakening to the Lord of heaven and earth! It is Emmanuel that is coming! God with us, God in us! This revival is the Fire of the revelation of God and can be the all-consuming Fire of God to you, Should you desire it!

 How many of you want that kind of revelation? It’s so good to see that.

Something new, something magnificent, is coming to the people of God! It is holy! It is majesty; it is glorious! It is revelatory! It carries in Its bosom visions from on high! Visits to the place where the Author of Life is universally known and ever revealing Himself as He purposed from the beginning, when God created Adam.

 Again, think about that. How many Millennia ago did God put Adam’s feet on this earth? And yet, here we are, today. God is saying, “This move is about Me, and My revelation, My cohabitation with my church.”

What He intended to do with Adam, He’s going to do with those who will pay the price to walk with Him.

It is a time of “presence”. He didn’t say His presence. He said the only thing God would say. 

It is a time of Presence, so transforming that you will experience who you were meant to be.  Faith, joy, abounding with the knowledge of God as He really is. Love so pure, saturated with excellency, a richness so profuse, beyond worldly gain, above material gain, provisions of glorious expressions of the Truth ever inculcating your spirit and Life. Christ, the Giver of the fatness of Divine revelation, and impartations of the experiential knowledge of the Father, will reign through His Church.

My dear sisters and brothers: be prepared for a transformation that will put you on a plane you can’t fly up to, let alone walk to. He has to do it. He has to be able to put in you the ability to see the vision of God. In seeing the vision of God, you begin to understand the plans and purposes of God. You begin to understand the beauty and grace of Heaven. Your own wisdom will substantially enlarge your knowledge, your understanding.

YOU WILL NOT KNOW YOURSELF. INVASION FROM GOD

You will spend time in the Word and the Word will become a living essence to you. Not just still black and white. Well, that’s amazing encouragement. But you will meet God in His Word. You will walk away from the mirror of the Word and not know yourself, you’ve been so transformed by His Spirit.

What are those sins…

What are those hindrances that are always arising trying to stop us from going on in God?

How many times have we tried to conquer one after another? We get this conquered and this flutters up. We finally get it conquered and another one flares up, until some just begin to feel hopeless. You need an invasion. You need an invasion in God. 

The time for the “nice tea parties” with the Son is over. You need to be invaded. You need to be so transformed within, you no longer see yourself, but only Christ – the nature and the character of the living Word. You sit at the feet of Truth and your heart burns like fire. The seeds of truth go into your soul and bring forth fruits and hunger, hunger and more hunger for God until you are raptured in hunger for Him. You do what He created you to do with such earnestness and love. You cannot be satisfied until His heart is pleased. It’s no longer about you. You don’t even see yourself anymore. You don’t feel yourself anymore. You only know Christ.

If you don’t live there, if you don’t walk there, you walk so low.

How can you ever hope to know Him? You end up like the children of Israel, standing beneath the mountain -with Moses alone atop the mountain, getting to know God.

When they realize their failure, they look to him and they say “You teach us. We can’t bear it. You teach us what you know. You are become glory. How? Why? What has changed in you? Has anything changed in you? Or are you just adorned with the glory. What’s going on, Moses? 

I have been before Moses several times. That man was so filled with God, so holy. The light and the glory that emanated from him was from within. He heard the voice of God. He heard Truth, and became truth.

You say, “How do you know?”

Because God told me so. And he is an example, he’s an image of what happens when God makes a human being truth.

Moses couldn’t have done it, but God could, and He did. Do you think that He would give the old covenant the way He gave it, and then turn around after the blood of His dear Son, and call His church to function in a covenant that is not more profound, more noble, more excellent than even that?

We have allowed the enemy to fool us (that) The great happenings of God are for past times for Bible scholars to read. That’s what he has convinced us. Am I right? We don’t sit at the feet of Word, crying out to God, tears falling down our faces, “Give me truth. Give me truth. How I long to know You. Pour Yourself out through Your glorious Word and transform me that I might know You, and understand You and the wonders of Your person.”

But we read the stories. “How wonderful, how glorious that God has touched men in such ways.”

That’s not enough. Why? Because the church let it be enough. How can you not read this glorious book and think,  “I’ve got to know Him. I’ve got to know Him. I’ve got to know Him more than I’ve ever known Him before. I’ve got to be consumed with the knowledge of God. I’ve got to be consumed with truth. I want to be truth, Lord. Make me truth, for Your glory. “

That’s quite an order.  Is it too much for God?  It is a small thing. The problem never has been with Him. The problem has been our own negligence, our own lack of understanding, our own lack of expectation for something higher.

Paul tells us in Corinthians, does he not? These things that you see with Israel and the old covenant are an example for us. What is he saying to us? Don’t just read it. Let it become you. And you will see by this, certain figures of the old covenant, it can be done in you.  (1 Cor. 10:11)

Not only that, but we are to challenge one another. That’s what I’m doing. I’m challenging us to go higher, to expect more, to want more, to have to have more, not to be denied. Those whose hearts are not where they need to be – when trouble begins to set in, what do they do? (missing word) They go wherever they want to go where the stress and the tension and the call cannot reach their heart quite so easily, somewhat away from it, from the rest of their lives. 

But God loves us. You might say, “Why do you want this so much?” Does He allow it? Because He knows who He is. He knows His worth, His value; and what it takes for you and for me not only to enter into these beautiful gardens of truth and dine, but you’ll be able to live on the truth you receive. And these storms against your faith are meant to strengthen you, so that you can possess an inner hunger that is insatiable to know truth. And a spirit that is strong enough to hold you up and enable you to press through the hindrances, to gain and stand in the truth. 

GREATER BATTLES

It’s not easy. I used to think (I’m so ashamed of this, you know, at this time in my life) but I used to think that if I could just get to union, everything would be great. But I learned once God took me to union, that’s not true. For He’s greater, so you have to fight more. You have to fight greater battles to gain stability and truth you’re receiving. So it’s not a bad thing because that strength, once gained, you will always have.

If Jesus could come into this room right now and stand right here and look at you. He’d look every one of you in the eyes. But you know what He would say: “I hunger for you. I want more of you. I’m chasing you.”

Will you stop, turn back and look at the One who belongs to the running feet? It is your Lord chasing you: “My hunger for you drew Me to the cross. You don’t belong to the world anymore. You’re mine. My joy is intimacy with My bride and the privilege, the privilege of making known the Father to you.” 

Now tell me. If you were to hear Him say that. Would you say to Him “Well, yeah, but…okay, I’ll get together with you tonight, Lord. But there’s a football game coming up in about an hour and I don’t want to be interrupted from my time with You. So I’ll watch that first and get back to you.“

Would you say that to Him? The Christians all over the world do. By the time they get back to the Lord that burning hunger has been dispelled by the things of the world. Does it cause your heart to ache to know that you, yourself, say no when you could say yes?

Wait doesn’t mean wait, it means no.

He doesn’t want you to wait. 

For the first many, many years of my Christian walk. I had two hours’ sleep at night. I was so hungry for God. I minister, minister much every week. I’d spend all day before I went to preach with the Lord. I would come home from preaching, I spent hours with my Savior. Because He was the only One that could satisfy that burning hunger. 

Oh yeah, now I’ve got to tell you something. If you really start pressing into the Lord, one of the things that people will tell you is: “You know you’re getting a little excessive. No one needs to pray as much as you want to pray. I think you need to cool down a little.”

When people say that to me, do you know what I say? “Do you have any idea how much time Jesus spent in prayer when He was here? Everyday, every night. And if the Son of God needed it. How much more do I need it?”

IT TAKES TIME TO SWITCH FROM SOULISH TO SPIRIT

Secondly, if our minds are so busy with temporal and worldly things, our minds don’t have time or opportunity to adapt to Heaven’s mind – to understand the words of Heaven, the thoughts of the Lord; because it takes so much time to switch from soulish thinking to the mind of the Spirit. So it takes a long time for our lives to come into a very pleasant, peaceful life in the Spirit. And that’s where growth really begins to happen.

 The other thing we do: I don’t know if you know anyone like this. I’m sure none of you are like this, but since we started the Inner Healing movement in the church it seems like Christians like to spend a lot of time thinking about those past things. Have you ever met anyone like that? That’s all they want to talk about.

Well, but that’s past, you’ve been healed, right?

You say, “But I just want you to know who I am.”

And I think, “What do you mean who you are? You belong to Christ. You’re not that person anymore. So we can’t go there.”

Are you listening to me? I don’t care if you were the nicest person or the meanest person. Your past needs to be removed and forgotten. Because right now. You belong to Him. He is holy. You therefore must be holy. He is perfect. You therefore must be perfect.

And a person will stand and say, “What do you mean perfection? No human being is perfect and you’re not.”  But He’s putting Himself inside of you in union! Total ownership of you will make you perfect. That’s why the Bible tells us to be that. We can’t do it, but He can and He will.

But you’re not going to watch your favorite cooking show and become perfect. Right after I got saved. One of the richest things my mother ever told me – I was an adult, I was in business; every once in a while there were two friends that I would go out with and have, you know, what would you call It? A dinner drink or something of that nature. And just one before I went home. It happened rarely. But now I’m saved, right?

My mother says to me. “Do you continue doing this kind of thing?”

And I said. “Well, not much Mom,”

“But do you do it?”

I said yes.

“You think that is the Lord’s will for you? “

Well, I hadn’t really thought about that one way or the other, I mean, I’m a new Christian. So I don’t really know what He’s going to expect. This is two or three years ago.

She said “Nita, how would you feel if you’re sitting there with your two friends and you’re both having a very innocent cocktail, and then the Lord walks in and stands in front of the table. What would you do?”

I said, “I’d cry. It would break my heart. I’d cry.”

She said “Why would you cry?”

I said “I don’t know. I just….I guess because He wouldn’t be pleased. I just know right now, at this very moment, I would cry.”

She said “Think about that next time you go.”

So, I don’t know how long it was we were going. The three of us were saying our goodbyes because I’m going on in Christianity and they’re going out in their lives. I had not even tasted a drink. And my mother’s words came back to me. And I said to them, “Look, I can’t do this. This would hurt Him. I can’t do it. This is where you guys are. You’ve really decided to just go your way. That’s your privilege and I have to go His way.”

And I felt like a great cloud had been lifted off me. And my growth in Christ from that minute on soared. So we can’t even touch these worldly things very rarely. If it’s not good, it’s not good. If it displeases, it displeases every time.

We don’t live for ourselves anymore. And if we do, we don’t belong to Him. Do you know that’s true?

James 4:

WHAT LEADS to strife (discord and feuds) and how do conflicts (quarrels and fightings) originate among you? Do they not arise from your sensual desires that are ever warring in your bodily members. 

You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you become murderers.

COVETOUSNESS AND THE SPIRIT OF MURDER

Isn’t that a strong word? Is He really saying here “so you go out and murder someone”? That’s not what He’s saying. He’s saying the sin of covetousness embodies the spirit of murder. If you covet what belongs to someone else, you have in a sense murdered them spiritually.

Covetousness Is very very serious. To hate is to murder, as far as your hearts are concerned.

Well, He says: “Admit it to me.”

  1. 2, You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
  1. 3, [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.

Doesn’t that whole thing just sound (missing word)? Yet when it’s happening, it feels so innocent. Doesn’t it? Because the devil was standing there saying “Yeah but there is pleasure. Feel that pleasure in sin. “

“Yes, you’re right.“

And so you go. You were like unfaithful wives having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God. Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy. So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes a stand as an enemy of God. How many of you want to be God’s friend? He wants that more than you could ever know. He wants to look at you, lift you up in His hand and say, “This is the fruit of grace. This is the jewel. You see my jewel. It’s my son wrapped in grace. Changed by grace, beautified by grace.” 

  1. 5,  Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?

 He wants your jealous love.

He wants your possessive, jealous love.

“Yes, but I love Jesus.” 

I love Jesus.. And I’m jealous of my relationship with Him. I will not let anything or anyone touch that. No matter how much they judge me, no matter how much they speak about me, even behind my back, I don’t care. I’m jealous for His love. He is my Jesus. He’s my Lord. He’s my friend. He is my help. He’s the very heartbeat for which I live.

HE GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE

But He gives us more and more grace. Power of the Holy Spirit to meet these evil tendencies, and all others fully. That is why He says God sets Himself against the proud, gives grace to those who are humble.

It doesn’t seem so hard, does it? We say no, He says grace. You say no, He says grace. When it comes to righteousness. We say yes, He gives grace. We say yes about that, He gives grace. Grace to say no; grace to say yes. Grace to walk in the fullness of the Lord. 

This awakening is not about making you happy. This awakening is about making you holy, and in love with God. You must want it with all your heart. And once you get it, you must live it with all your heart. And if you don’t know how to, go to the Grace Giver. Isn’t that what the writer said? We go to the throne of mercy. And receive grace to help. And He will do it.

I could go through, you know, maybe a whole book, just to talk to you about this subject, but I won’t.

When we were singing “Way Maker” this morning the Lord came upon me very, very strong. He spoke to me in a vision. And He said to me,” I’m here. I’m here to transform My people.

So I want to take a moment. And make an offer to you to please come up. You can come up along the stage. You can come up and kneel on the first row and pour out your heart to God. Let Him know that you’re sorry for your mistakes and the things that you seek for pleasure, aside from Him.

And tell Him you want Him. And you want Him just like I’m sharing with you now. And He will answer you. He is going to touch many people today. Something new is going to be done in your mind and in your heart. But seek it with all of your heart.

Pray for America: Now is the Turning Point!

Editor’s note:  This article is a post from Dutch Sheets on March 3rd of “Give Him 15 Minutes”, sharing a prophetic word from Gina Gholston . Gina is a prolific dreamer and has been used regularly by God to share prophetic words and teachings to the Body of Christ since March 12, 2013. This particular dream has special meaning because it has to do with America and our hopes for American renewal .

Background: In this dream, I saw myself standing on a beach where an urgent scene was unfolding in front of me. The setting changed, and I realized I was standing on a stage in front of a very large group of people. All of a sudden, the beach scene began being shown on a movie screen above my head, giving everyone in the room a full view of what I was seeing: a gigantic, beached whale. Written across its back were the words, ‘The United States of America.’ Suddenly, God gave me the interpretation of the vision, and I began urgently declaring, ‘We have to turn this thing! We have to turn it quickly, or it will die! It’s not dead yet, but we must turn it quickly!’ 

As the dream continued, we saw hundreds, if not thousands, of people on the beach who were frantically trying to help. I knew, however, they were only going to do more damage than good because there was no order. Some people then stepped forward and began helping get everyone into position. All were then able to work together effectively, and the whale was turned back into the water.

As I reflected on this vision playing out on the movie screen, I heard myself announce, ‘Everyone must get in place. Some will know how to lead us. We must all be willing to listen and then get into position so we can easily turn this thing back to where it can live.’

It was then that I realized all of the people in the room, as well as those on the beach, were a representation of the Church in America. I began to declare, ‘We must be assembled properly. We can turn this nation! We can turn it, but we must be rightly positioned.’

End of dream.

The beached whale in this dream obviously represented America. For a whale, water is essential for life; it cannot survive without it! In Scripture, water is symbolic of the Word and the Spirit of God. The life source for America is God and the principles of His Word upon which she was founded. As the whale could not survive without water, America cannot survive as the nation God intended her to be without Him.

In 2013, God used this dream to show others and me that a time of urgency was coming, that America was veering away from Him, her life source. The days ahead were going to be a life-or-death situation for our nation. For a while, it would even seem that the purposes of God for America had been lost, and the death of this great nation was inevitable. However, He was showing us that there was a way to save it! Just as the people in the dream worked together to turn the beached whale back to the water, the Church would be used by the Lord to turn America back in the right direction. But God was giving us a warning. Though the Church was present, we were not prepared, for the tasks ahead.

I felt this dream was not a ‘wake-up call’ to America, but instead, was an urgent call to us – His people, the Church. It was a call to action! We were entering a new era, a time of major transition that would put a demand on the church. The Lord would begin to assemble and position us to be rightly aligned and able to function as His Ekklesia. We would need to know and operate in our true identity.

As members of Christ’s body, we each have a part in God’s plan. In the dream, people stepped up to give instructions regarding how to work together to get the beached whale back to its life source. Likewise, several years ago, when the Lord called the Ekklesia to get focused and rightly positioned, there was a response that launched a devoted remnant into a time of urgent preparation. I believe we have now emerged from that time of preparation and have become a people through whom the Lord can work. This is how we will turn this seemingly dying nation back to God!

The following is a portion of a word the Lord spoke to me several years ago that I feel is timely for now:

The wind is blowing! Hear it in the spirit and know that I will blow My breath into this nation—Resurrection and Pentecost all rolled up into one unprecedented move of My Spirit. It will be an undeniable, gushing blast of My glory and My presence.

This is a turning point. Stay in tune with My Spirit. Stand still in My presence and I will fill you afresh with My wind, My Holy Spirit. I will release you as My ‘whirlwind’ into this nation, bringing My life to what has seemed dead. I am now releasing My whirlwind, and I will blaze a clear trail through this nation that will cause the hearts of many to return to Me.

Align properly with my plan. I have a remnant, an Ekklesia, assisted by My angels, who will carry My anointing – clothed in the wind of My Spirit – and through them, I will turn this nation and set it back on course.

The stage is now set. God’s desire for the Ekklesia to be used in helping to heal and restore America’s destiny is being revealed. The Body of Christ has been positioned and assembled, and through us, God will fulfill His intentions. This is the turning point, and America will live!

Pray for Israel: Bring Back the Sheep Scattered Among the Peoples

Current Events / Background: On January 27, 2023, at the International Day of Remembrance of Holocaust Victims held at the United Nations Headquarters, Secretary-General Guterres warned that anti-Semitism, hate speech, and misinformation keeps spreading all the time.

Guterres cited attacks on Orthodox Jews in Manhattan, bullying of Jewish schoolchildren in Melbourne, Australia, and spray-painted swastikas on Holocaust memorials in the German capital Berlin. Neo-Nazis are now the number one domestic security threat in several countries, and white supremacist movements are becoming increasingly dangerous. Congress President Csaba Kőrösi said at the commemorative event that there has been a “new wave of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial” around the world today. Kresch said: “These messages are like poison, seeping into our daily lives. We hear them from politicians and read them in the media. The hatred that once caused the Holocaust continues to ferment today.”

As anti-Semitism continues to intensify around the world, coupled with the continued deterioration of the Russo-Ukrainian War, a large number of Jews have returned to Israel. The Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) released the 2022 “Alia (Jewish immigrant return)” statistics, pointing out that in the past year, about 70,000 people became Alia, most of them came from the war countries of the former Soviet Union. The total number of immigrant returns more than doubled in 2021, while hitting a new high in more than 20 years.

But at the same time, Israeli statistics show that out of the 5,600 Russian Jews who benefited from the “Return Law” two months after the start of the Ukrainian war, about 1,800 Russian Jews returned to Moscow with Israeli passports. This meant that a third of Russian Jews who arrived in the occupying country left in a hurry. Demand for European citizenship among Israelis is on the rise following elections in November 2022 that will bring to power the most extreme government in Israeli history. Israelis had the highest rate of applications for French citizenship, up 13%. It can also be noted that the percentage of immigration applications from EU countries in general has increased. Portuguese authorities recorded a 68% increase in naturalization applications from Israelis. Meanwhile, Polish and German authorities have recorded a 10% increase in the same applications over the past two months. There are two factors for Aliyah: first, the high cost of living in Israel and the lack of job opportunities. In addition, after the extreme right government came to power, it has increasingly restricted the Aliya group.

Critical Event: The Pure Worship of the Young Generation

【Background: Since February 8 this year, an “ancient well” buried in Asbury University in Kentucky, USA, once again erupted with fresh water – the outpouring of the Holy Spirit! The presence of God strongly attracts young people to worship continuously in the chapel. In the presence of the Holy Spirit, there was great joy, and there were tears of weeping and repentance.

At the same time, the Holy Spirit also attracted thousands of people who heard the news. Outside of the chapel was filled with people from all over the world. People talked about God’s deeds passionately, and it was like this every day. So far, the passion for worship has spread to several nearby universities including Samford and Lee, and this momentum seems to be unabated.

This is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit since the two outbursts on the Asbury campus in the 1950s and 1970s. The two Holy Spirit revival movements on the campus affected 130 colleges and universities, and directly triggered the Jesus Movement and the Holy Spirit Movement in the 1970s, which spread to various church denominations. This time, it is undoubtedly the prelude to the great revival, and it is estimated that there will be a more violent impact.

A 72-year-old elderly said, “I was a student in Asbury in 1970 during the revival of Asbury. It’s great that I can catch up with it again 50 years later!” There’s always been anger issue, and God has set me free this time.” Someone has testified of being set free from drug addiction. Some people also observed that the entire campus was filled with the atmosphere of the presence of God, and the students had hopeful faces on their faces, laying hands on passers-by and praying non-stop… …

The Struggles of the Younger Generation

In this era filled with all kinds of lies, LGBTQ, racial division, and socialist ideology, children are taught in public classrooms and university podiums that there is no absolute truth and moral standards, and people can do whatever they want, but their conscience does not agree with it. Confusion, stress and tears filled the hearts of the children. Coupled with the three years of Pandemic control in the United States, schools have mostly online classes, and the social circle has narrowed. Many students are physically and psychologically unhealthy. Fortunately, God is here! He has borne our pains and sorrows, and He has come to seek these young men!

Pure Worship

When seeing the young generation singing with the most simple voice, worshiping Jesus with the purest heart, and interacting with God, people can only say: This is really God’s own deed! The student movements in every generation are almost all movements with the purest motives, because the students have no background and no support, and rely on their intuitive judgment of daring to love and hate. The same is true in the matter of loving Jesus. If students are willing to love and worship God, it means that God is real! He deserves it!

Successor of the Kingdom of God

God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Lord of all generations! The living wells dug by Abraham were filled by the Philistines. When his son Isaac not only dug them again, but also dug several wells continuously, Isaac even became a big household in the area during the famine years! This is how God blesses the successor to the next generation. Today, God wants to bless these young successors even more, so that the anointing of God’s wonderful kingdom will flow from generation to generation! 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. 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)
