Editorial Special Section: Christy Johnston:  We are in a Nehemiah Moment – The Time of the Hammer and the Sword

Message: Christy Johnston Date: February 16, 2023  

The Remnant is On The Move.

In a recent vision, I saw a battlefield where many of God’s sons and daughters were beginning to move all over the place into new and strategic positions of authority. Like the game of chess, I saw these soldiers moving from their previous held positions into new roles and assignments. The move wasn’t comfortable, nor did it make sense to the soldier, but the move was a setup to ‘checkmate’ the enemy. I heard the Lord say, “I am repositioning and realigning my Body into strategic places to do battle and win victory over the principalities of those regions.”

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheets: The Spoiler

Message: Dutch Sheets   Date: May 23, 2023   Source: “Give Him 15” 

One of the greatest offers in the history of the world was made centuries ago to a man named Obed-edom. At the instruction of David, king of Israel, he was asked if his living room could be the Holy of Holies for a while.

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. Thus the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

(2 Samuel 6:10-11)

Pray for America: Power to Rebirth America

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from the “Give Him 15 Minutes” prayer on 3/27 by intercession leader Dutch Sheets . “I invite you to join me every day in prayer for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes,” give a comment, and then we will pray together. As we stand for America” You can join us here as we go to Petition. “

【Background: A dream was sent to me a couple of years ago in which George Washington, who commissioned the birth of the Appeal to Heaven flag, presented me the original, saying, “It still works.” Today, I want to review the history of this flag, and mention what Holy Spirit is doing with it in our time. ...Detailed Reading】

• Psalm 98:2 “Everyone knows how God has saved us because he has demonstrated his justice throughout history”. (TPT version )
• Amos 5:24   Let justice flow like great waters, and righteousness like a river.
• Matthew 16:18-19   I also tell you: You are Peter, on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against him. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
• Isaiah 22:22  I will put on his shoulder the keys of David’s house; he will open and no one will shut, and he will shut no one can open.

【Prayer】

• God is the Regenerating Power of America:  Father, You have demonstrated Your justice and Your strength throughout American history. When the founding fathers of the United States made the “Appeal to Heaven” banner, held it up on the battlefield and called on You to intervene, You responded and helped them, so that the United States could turn the country into victory, and let the world see a poor colony defeated the then The most powerful empire in the world. Heavenly Father, You have now resurrected this flag to remind us that “Appeal to Heaven” is still valid, Please breathe on us, make our prayers full of vitality and hope, and raise up more people to petition You, once again make America be reborn!
• We declare in the name of Jesus Christ:
  • Appeal to Heaven is still valid!
  • The rebuilding of America must be done.
  • Ecclesia will rise up, take the key of David’s house, destroy the stronghold and system of the devil, and prepare for the comprehensive revival!
  • God’s grace and mercy will come to America again.
  • Justice will be like a torrent of water, and righteousness will be like a torrent of river, flowing through the entire land of the United States.
  • The Spirit of God will be poured out on America with power and glory.
  • America must once again be the light of the world, the beacon of truth!

Pray in the holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Pray for Israel: “Isaiah 62 Prayer” (2) “Nation Shall See Your Righteousness, Kings shall See Your Glory”

Editor’s note : The series of prayers in “Isaiah 62 Prayer” was written by Sandra Teplinsky, one of the founders and directors of Light of Zion in 2023. This booklet, Isaiah 62 Prayers for Israel, was written to complement a devotional called The Heart of God for Israel (“Heart of God”) published by the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri (“IHOP-KC”). In 2023, when IHOP-KC launched a 21 day global fast based on Isaiah 62, it also suggested that Heart of God be used as a prayer guide during those 21 days. We will post the prayers every week in the future.  

【Current event: As an Israeli Messianic Jewish prayer leader in Jerusalem, I felt it would be valuable to supplement Heart of God specifically for Israeli intercessors to use during the 21 day fast. This became my reason for writing Isaiah 62 Prayers for Israel (“Isaiah 62 Prayers”). However, seasoned intercessors for Israel who are neither Israeli nor Jewish can also benefit much from Isaiah 62 Prayers. ....Detailed Reading】

• Isaiah 62:2 The nations will see your vindication,  and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name  that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

【Prayer】

YHVH, You created me for love. Your majestic yet tender love calls forth righteousness in me, transforming me and inspiring still greater love. May this soon be so for all Israel. 

You desire righteousness in Zion so she might share holy, intimate and infinite fellowship with You. You patiently, yet passionately, await the day when love fellowship is restored not just with a remnant within her, but with all Israel as a truly righteous nation. Through her, You desire to display Your righteousness to the Gentiles and showcase Your glory to all kings. Because Your heart yearns no less for them than for Zion, by the righteousness of Yeshua, this wonderous reality already unfolds. May it increase and may the day of its fulfillment be hastened! 

Loving Abba, grant me – and grant all Israel — the gracious gift of conviction of sin unto righteousness. Forgive us of our lovelessness, pride, unbelief and bend toward unrighteousness. Forgive us for thinking You do not exist, or have forsaken and rejected us. Open the eyes of our hearts so we may see that it is we who have collectively rejected You and Your beloved Son. In Yeshua’s Name, heal us with the medicine of Your love. Let it saturate deep to rouse our desire for true righteousness, holiness and love-driven obedience that comes by faith.

Let all nations see the dazzling miracle of Your righteousness and glory manifest in Israel, so they, too, may be drawn deeper and deeper into Your heart. As You draw in the Gentiles, lovingly open the eyes of their hearts to see the blessing, for their sake and Yours, of aligning in love with Israel. Let this, too, cause the unparalleled glory of Your righteousness to explode on earth! 

Thank You for hearing my cries and moving on behalf of all Your people

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Critical Event: Sudan – A Nerve on the African Continent

[Background:   In mid-April 2023, another military coup clash broke out in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. This time, at least 56 people were killed and 595 were injured. This is not the first military conflict in Sudan, but this turbulent political situation is really disturbing, and people do not want it to evolve into a Russian-Ukrainian battlefield in Africa. ...Detailed Reading】

• 1 Timothy 2:1-2 I beseech you, first of all, make supplications, prayers, intercessions, and blessings for all people; for kings and all those who reign, so that we may live in godliness, integrity, and peace .

• 1 Timothy 4:12  Do not let others look down on you when you are young, but be an example to believers in word, in deed, in love, in faith, and in purity.

• Isaiah 55:5 You will call nations that you did not know, and you will run to you nations that did not know you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

• Isaiah 30:20 Though the Lord gives you bread of affliction and water of affliction, your teacher will hide no more; your eyes will see your teacher.

【Prayer】

• The Ekklesia of Sultan Responded : Abba, Father, although You gave the Sultan hardship as bread and affliction as water, You, the teacher, will no longer hide from her, and the Sultan will see You with her own eyes ( Isaiah 30:20 )! Your true disciples in Sudan, the Ekklesia will surely appear, stand before the throne, become the mainstay of the country, the one who carries the ark of God, the one who cries out to heaven, the one who preaches the way of repentance, Those who preach the Gospel of the Kingdom. ( 1 Timothy 2:1-2 )
• Sultan Enters Destiny : Sultan, like little Timothy ( 1 Timothy 4:12 ), is small but strong. Sultan, your name is endowed with the good meaning of “strength”, which contains God’s destiny for you since the creation of the world. Sudan is going to be a blessing to Israel, which in turn pulls the nerves of the entire African continent. At this very moment, it is time that God is going to give birth to precious children in Sudan and Africa. In the name of the Lord, we command the evil spirits behind the military rebellion in Sudan to stop! We have seen through your intentions. The members of Ekklesia all over the world are here to stand with God and the Sudan, and help Sudan to enter the magnificent destiny and the blueprint of God’s plan!

In the name of the Lord Jesus, amen!

Pray for Native Americans: Arise and Resound!

【Current Affairs: In these times, I believe the Lord is INCREASING and RELEASING His voice, with great authority, through His “first fruits” people groups of the land. He is raising up His sold out, set apart, Indigenous burning ones, and releasing HIS VOICE to set nations ablaze for Jesus. …Detailed Reading 】

• Psalm 149:3-4 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people;  he crowns the humble with victory.
• Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord;  he turned to me and heard my cry.

Editorial Special Section: Christy Johnston:  We are in a Nehemiah Moment – The Time of the Hammer and the Sword

Message: Christy Johnston Date: February 16, 2023  

The Remnant is On The Move.

In a recent vision, I saw a battlefield where many of God’s sons and daughters were beginning to move all over the place into new and strategic positions of authority. Like the game of chess, I saw these soldiers moving from their previous held positions into new roles and assignments. The move wasn’t comfortable, nor did it make sense to the soldier, but the move was a setup to ‘checkmate’ the enemy. I heard the Lord say, “I am repositioning and realigning my Body into strategic places to do battle and win victory over the principalities of those regions.”

In the vision, I then saw that each soldier was given both a hammer and a sword. I then heard the Lord say, “This is a Nehemiah moment, a window of time to restore, rebuild and tear down the principalities of long-withstanding strongholds over regions and culture.”

“The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire.”

Nehemiah 1:3

God is positioning these soldiers, His remnant, realigning them and moving them into unusual battle formations. I saw many being handed divine keys in this hour, while continuing to hold onto their hammer and sword. These keys would open up new assignments in earthly realms. New job opportunities, unexpected physical moves to new locations, new relationships and new roles. I heard the Lord say, “just because you did not anticipate it, does not mean that I did not plan it. Trust me in this hour, for I am setting you up for victory, and it will come swiftly, just as Nehemiah’s call to rebuild came swiftly. My swift hand of justice will cause you to rebuild in a moment, what was torn down over many generations.”

God is moving His people into a re-alignment of His will. This is strategic movement on His part, and it may not make a lot of sense in the moment, but to those who are being called, they will have an unmistakable burning within their spirit, as the Holy Spirit speaks, ‘move this way, walk in this direction.’ The direction may not come with all of the answers, but take that first step. Seek confirmation, but don’t be afraid to follow His leading, for where He is leading you may not feel comfortable or make a lot of sense in the moment, but it is a strategic repositioning that is going to surprise you with victorious outcomes.

Stay on Guard Against The Spirit of Intimidation.

In the midst of the vision of this great re-positioning, I saw the enemy prowling to intimidate. He began to surround soldiers with questions and intimidations. “Who are you to think you can have authority over this?” “You don’t have what it takes to fulfill this task from the Lord.” “Have you forgotten where you came from… Who your family is? Have you gotten too full of yourself? Do you need to be taken down a notch?” I then saw, that these questions and intimidations came through the form of friends of the soldiers, some family members and even some fellow Christians surrounding the soldiers on the field, poking and prodding them to bow to the harassment.

The spirit of intimidation won’t always come through the world, its voice will sometimes echo through those we love, treasure and hold in high esteem the most, which can often be the hardest battle to overcome. I am here to remind you, you are going to NEED to be filled to overflowing with the Word of God in this hour if you are to fully step into the new assignment He has for you. Pour over the scriptures that remind you of who you are in Christ Jesus. Fill your soul and your spirit with what the Lord says about you. Forgive those that harass, love them, bless them, but ignore their words and keep moving.

Nehemiah faced this spirt through Sanballat and Tobiah. Their names mean, “Enemy in secret’ and ‘Yahweh is Good.’ The enemy often comes in secret, through those who love the Lord themselves, their intentions may be ‘good’ but through insecurities of their own, they bend their voice to the will of the serpent and become voices of intimidation. Stay on guard. You can disarm this spirit by loving and blessing them in return, but continuing to stay in the Word and in the will of the Lord by moving on with the work He has set before you. This is why you will need the sword- it is the sword of His Word.

A Time to Rebuild.

I have been seeing the numbers 444 repetitively as of late. The number 4 in Hebrew holds historic and prophetic significance. It represents authority, government, rule, dominion, time, fullness and Holy Spirit. As I was studying the story of Nehemiah, I was amazed to discover that Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem and rebuilt the walls, all within the year of 444BC. The Lord is resounding this message right now, that we are in a Nehemiah window of time to rebuild divine government, assert Christ-authority, rule and dominion over the strongman that is set up over regions, and to restore the fullness of the Holy Spirit within the Body of Christ. It is a time of rebuilding the foundations, rebuilding the walls that have been devastated by the generations. This is the hammer in the vision. It is the restoring of God’s ideas, God’s plans and God’s foundations over every fabric of society, from government to cultural thoughts and ideologies. God is calling His soldiers to hammer into smithereens the idols that both the church and the world has erected. Idols of thought and speech, idols of self, idols of ‘man-made’ ideologies, idols that have set themselves against the one true God.

Isaiah 61:4

They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

The Lord is looking for a people right now who will say, “send me, and I will go.” He is looking for a people who will trust Him in the midst of the discomfort of change, who will follow Him to the ends of the earth. He is positioning His people right now for ordained victory to tear down the altars and rebuild the walls.

Who will go?

Keys for The Soldier:

Do not neglect your time in the Word of God in this hour. While there are many pressing issues at hand, there is none more pressing than keeping your oil full. If you do not, you will be wholly susceptible to the voices of intimidation, and will likely\be unable to withstand the lies. Keep your oil full and you will be able to move with confidence in the direction God is sending you. You are needed, your voice is needed, your assignment is NEEDED, so STAY on guard and in the Word.

Do not be afraid to confront the idols and smash them to smithereens. “Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The soldier of God MUST be BOLD in this hour to confront the principalities of darkness and claim back the territory that belongs to the Lord.

Pray unceasingly. Pray in tongues throughout the day, take communion daily. Keep your spirit filled with what the Lord is saying and don’t be moved until you see His Kingdom established over your regions

Editorial Special Section: Lana Vawser: ‘ YOU WILL RECOVER ALL’

Message: Lana Vawser Date: May 19, 2023  Source: Lana Vawser Ministries  

Recently, I had a dream and I heard the Lord speaking and He said. “YOU WILL RECOVER ALL.”

As He spoke these words I could feel the creative power of His Word already bringing forth that which He had spoken suddenly. I knew when He spoke these words, it was not a word for “a far off time” but He was making the declaration now of what was coming to pass now and what was springing forth.

The sense was SO strong in the dream as His voice went forth it was activating the recovery and I knew the recovery was coming from EVERY direction. There will be no direction left untouched.

When I woke from the dream, I could feel the Lord’s heart for His people, that now is the time to look UP and look at Him and to not look at what has been lost. I could feel His heart so strongly encouraging His people to not get their eyes upon the ‘losses’, but to keep their eyes upon Him in expectation of how He is restoring, and all is being recovered.

The Lord has been speaking so much in the last few years about recompense, recovery, restoration: and in this dream when His decree went forth, I KNEW that we have entered the time of the greatest divine recovery we have EVER seen. It will be ABOVE and BEYOND what we have ever seen before.

Sevenfold restoration (Proverbs 6:31), double for the trouble you have endured (Isaiah 61:7), a total divine recovery (1 Samuel 30:18) a tidal wave of His blessing, His provision and His restoration. It is time!!!

I also heard the Lord speaking over bodies, “RECOVER.” I saw many who had been struggling with issues in their bodies for LONG periods of time — the Lord is declaring a divine recovery. The cycle of sickness — broken. Divine healing and total RECOVERY in Jesus name.

As the Lord spoke the word, “RECOVER,” again I saw the tidal wave of the healing revival that He has been speaking about crashing in, all over the world.

We have moved into the era where we will see the greatest healing revival in the earth that we have ever seen before. I heard the heartbeat of the Lord, “It’s time for you to recover,” and this declaration was a declaration of WHOLENESS.

There was a RECOVERY that we are going to see in accelerated ways now, where the healings — of bodies, minds, hearts and souls — will be on a level we have never seen before.

Major deliverance, major healing, total wholeness that was purchased for us at Calvary by our precious and beautiful Lord Jesus.

I saw many have been assaulted with fear recently, regarding their health. I saw many assaulted with foreboding of “what could happen” in their health down the track. I saw the enemy standing before many and he was dangling names of diseases and attempting to lure people into fear. “This could happen to you.” “This is going to happen to you.” I could feel the weight in the atmosphere of his lies. I could feel his lure wanting to bring people into a place of putting faith in fear, rather than faith in the Lord.

I saw many overwhelmed by areas of brokenness and pain and trauma and seeing the fruit of these things in their lives, and feeling like wholeness and healing would never come.

In all these different areas I heard the Lord speak over them, “The enemy has come hard at you again in these areas because NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOUR RECOVERY!!!!!!!!”

Expect swift deliverance. Expect swift healing. Expect supernatural divine recovery because it is happening and manifesting NOW. Focus not on the losses, focus not on the “what if’s” or “what has been”, but lift your eyes to the hills for where does your help come from? It comes from the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121) and He is bringing forth divine recovery, wholeness and healing on a level that we have never seen. We just need to lean into Him.

RE-COVERING MINISTRIES

I heard the Lord say, “I am RE-COVERING ministries,” and I knew, right now there is a deep birthing taking place that is going to change what many ministries have looked like.

There are new areas, new avenues, new “arms” of ministries that He is birthing right now. He is leading many into new “lands” of ministry they never imagined walking in. He is leading many into new areas of influence for His Kingdom that many never expected they would enter. He is changing the “focus” in some ministries from ministering heavily in one certain area, to a completely different area. I could see the increase all around that He was bringing and these new areas, and the new ways He is “re-covering” many ministries was going to see MAJOR fruitfulness and harvest.

I also saw that where some had laid down their ministry, walked away from their ministry or the enemy had come and plundered, there is a mighty move of His Spirit that is going to see a “recovering” and “divine comeback” take place in these ones lives and ministries. A restoration, rebuilding and repositioning.

We are in the time of the greatest divine recovery we have ever seen. The enemy came to steal, kill and destroy, but NOW the Lord is bringing forth a COMPLETE divine recovery in Jesus’ name.

Editorial Special Section: Nate Johnston: Get Ready for Your Marching Orders!

Message: Nate Johnston   Date: May 14, 2023   Source: Nate-Johnston Website 

Over the last few days, I keep hearing the Lord say, I am giving My marching orders.

I believe this is the Lord. Handing out strategic and specific instructions to those who’ve been waiting on their next steps and the things that the Lord is asking them to step into.

Come out of Wrong Alignments

These are the instructions for those who’ve been patiently waiting and not rushing ahead of the Lord to receive only what He has to give, and refusing to step into hustle or their own strength.

These orders are for those who have their ear to the ground and have been longing to hear what the Lord is leading them into in this next season.

I really felt this was for those specifically who’ve been in a season of waiting and pause, those who were in a time of being refreshed, refueled, healed, and yet ready to embark on new orders again.

There are also so many that have been shipwrecked by circumstances, sickness, and financial setback that God is going to stand back to their feet.

The other side of this is I felt like the marching orders also represented what the Lord was leading His people out of.

Since January, there’s been a strong sense of closure that’s come upon the body of Christ. Where the Lord has been leading people out of wrong alignments and old wineskin assignments and activities.

I believe May and June we’re going to see many of those alignments wrapped up and finalized.

We’re going to see many people leave many environments and habitats that they’ve been occupying for a long period of time and the Lord will move them into a new sphere of influence and even location.

This will be a time when He changes your title, your role, and your desk nameplate.

This is a time where He changes your clothes and your name then leads you into a wider open space that He’s been preparing for you.

Watch as God begins moving people out of positions and places that they have not stewarded correctly or properly.

I don’t believe this is a condemnation word over those in the body of Christ, but more for those who’ve been deliberately moving against the Lord and moving against what the Spirit of the Lord is doing.

 A Time of Great Exposure in Governmental Realm

In saying that, I believe this is also an hour governmentally, where the Lord is going to shift and move people out of places of authority that were never given by the Lord but was given by man.

This is a time of great exposure in governmental realms. In places where people have been in roles and places that do not carry the heart of the Lord and the spirit of God, now is the time when God will actually usher those who carry His heart and will steward them correctly into these roles.

Reposition, A Time of Expansion And Increase.

This is a time right now when the Lord is giving His marching orders to His remnant, to His pioneers, those who have His heart, and those who represent Him well. He is leading them into a time of expansion and increase.

I specifically just want to say yet again to those who have been in a pause and a waiting season, get ready because the Lord is about to reposition you. Look for the strategic and acute insight that he’s about to pour out that leads you into fresh clarity for what He has ahead for you.

For I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying “Am I a God of confusion? For you have had many seductive voices surrounding you leading you into confusion and chasing you to doubt Me or the promises I have given you. Will I not do it?”

And even now the Lord is releasing the Issachar anointing upon the church, so she is able to DISCERN the kairos we are in and know how to plan and walk it out practically. Receive it today!

Your marching orders are coming because we are in a governmental shift in the body of Christ, out of powerlessness and into a militant occupation on the earth.

You may feel defeated on the battlefield, but I prophesy to you in the name of Jesus to stand to your feet, dust yourself off and begin to tie up your boots because the Lord is calling you into a season of renewed strength and vision in Jesus name!

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.”

Psalms 32:8

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheets: The Spoiler

Message: Dutch Sheets   Date: May 23, 2023   Source: “Give Him 15” 

One of the greatest offers in the history of the world was made centuries ago to a man named Obed-edom. At the instruction of David, king of Israel, he was asked if his living room could be the Holy of Holies for a while.

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. Thus the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

(2 Samuel 6:10-11)

Can you imagine being asked – in Obed-edom’s day, by the way, when the very presence and glory of God hovered over the ark, “Would you mind if we placed the ark of the covenant in your home for a few months?” If you were a lover of God, this honor would have been unimaginable.

How would you respond? “Uh, I don’t know, King. I’ll have to think about whether or not I want the shekinah glory of God hovering in my living room for the next three months.” I don’t think I’d have had to pray about it. Obviously, Obed-edom didn’t.

Can you imagine running to your wife and blurting out, “You’ll never guess what is in our living room!” And what about the conversation with your kids: “Now, guys, you can look but DON’T TOUCH!” And don’t you just imagine that Obed’s house became the first choice for the neighborhood home group!

One can only guess what it was like at Obed-edom’s home for the three months the ark was there. Did they sit for hours and stare at it? Did it ever get dark in the house? (Think about it.) Was the whole house permeated by the presence of Yahweh? Was there a constant haze? Did people fall down when they walked by it? We don’t know these answers, but we do know “the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household” during this unprecedented season (v. 11). We also know that when David finally moved the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, Obed-edom packed up and moved his entire household with it, becoming a gatekeeper in the tent that housed it, the Tabernacle of David (1 Chronicles 26:1-4). One can almost hear his conversation with David: “If you think, Your Highness, that after having the presence and glory of God in my living room for the last three months that I’m going to live without it, you’re badly mistaken. You’re taking me with you!”

David understood.

It had been David, a lover of God, who decided to find the ark and bring it back to Jerusalem. “Then David consulted with…every leader. And David said to all the assembly of Israel…’Let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul’” (1 Chronicles 13:1-3). What a sad epitaph for a leader: “The presence of God was not sought after during his reign.” And what sad days those must have been for the Lord.

I’m certain Yahweh was pleased when David, a man after His heart, wanted His presence to be the focal point of the nation once again. Yet the process turned out to be difficult. Due to the inappropriate way David’s team transported the ark, a man felt compelled to touch it in an attempt to steady it, an act that should have been avoided. The consequences of touching the ark had been clearly explained by Yahweh. The offender was killed by the glory of the Lord, which resulted in great fear and a three-month delay. This is why the ark made its way to Obed-edom’s house.

David researched the correct way to transport the ark, and it was relocated to Jerusalem. Obed-edom, however, was not about to buy into the separation. “Pack up, guys,” he told the family. “We’re moving.”

I’ve done the Obed-edom thing – sort of. Obviously, it wasn’t exactly the same but was about as close as you could get to it nowadays. Fifteen years ago (in 2008),  in the Colorado Springs church I pastored, we had a special series of services. On Sunday morning, a prophetic guest dropped a bombshell: “Put everything else on hold for ninety days, and do nothing but 24/7 worship. Just as Obed-edom hosted the ark of His presence for three months, God is asking you to do the same,” he declared.

My mind began racing: Was this really a word from Holy Spirit? Should we try it? Could we pull it off? What about our other programs? How would this affect the church? These and other questions flooded my mind.

But…we did it! We did the Obed-edom thing.

The next three months became the best of my life. Like Obed-edom, I was ruined. The logistics were challenging, of course, but the worship never stopped, not even for services. And the presence of God in our sanctuary for the next ninety days, well, it was thick and weighty. I canceled all but a couple of my speaking engagements during the three months and spent several hours every day just hanging out with God.

Not only did it change my life, it also changed the lives of hundreds of others. People sacrificed their vacation days and spent them with God. Occasionally, entire families brought sleeping bags and spent the night “camping out” in His presence. Many came on their lunch breaks. A few people came and spent time with Him every day; one lady actually spent all night, every night, there. An Air Force colonel came every morning on his way to work and stopped in every night after work. In the end, all who participated were ruined. Normal, for us, had become radical. Thirty or forty minutes, a few worship songs on Sunday morning would never again satisfy. The Obed-edom thing causes BIG problems. It’s now easy to see why he didn’t even try to fight it. “I’m addicted,” he said through his actions. “Where the ark goes, I go.”

David seemed to understand: “No sense in arguing with him; he’s ruined. He’ll never outgrow it or outlive it. Make him a doorkeeper at the tent.” David, too, became “addicted.” I finally understood why he would say, “A day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside” (Psalm 84:10). David also said, “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple” (Psalm 27:4).

Understood.

You, too, can do the Obed-edom thing. No, not 24/7. But the Lord wants to hang out in your house. His presence is no longer limited to an ark in a Holy of Holies. Pursue Him. If you do, like the bride looking for her groom in the Song of Solomon, He’ll let you find Him. Oh, how He wants to be found. Until you experience this pleasure, you’ll never really understand it. Once you have, you’ll refuse to ever again be without it.

Pray with me:

Father, we’ve tasted of and seen Your goodness, and we hunger and thirst for more. We desire to host You, Your presence, and we want this for others. Let us encounter Your presence to such an extent that we are ruined for anything less. Come, show us Your glory; reveal Yourself to us. Thank You for letting Yourself be found by those who seek You wholeheartedly.

One day with You, Jesus, is so much better than a thousand spent anywhere else. May dwelling in Your presence be our highest aspiration, our greatest fascination, and the deepest longing of our hearts. Let all things pale in comparison to time spent in the pleasure of Your company.

Yahweh, humankind’s fallen nature, aided by satan and religion, has distorted the perception of Your true nature. No longer seen as a loving Father, You are perceived as distant, uncaring, impossible to please, and a harsh Judge. May the coming “presence movement” shatter these misperceptions, just as surely as Christ did when He revealed Your nature 2000 years ago. And may Your Abba-heart be seen by a lost, hungry world. Do the Obed-edom thing around the world! Send revival! In Christ’s name, we pray…Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that we are hungry for the presence of our Father, of Christ, and of Holy Spirit. We will never be satisfied without it.

Critical Event: Sudan – A Nerve on the African Continent

[Background:   In mid-April 2023, another military coup clash broke out in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. This time, at least 56 people were killed and 595 were injured. This is not the first military conflict in Sudan, but this turbulent political situation is really disturbing, and people do not want it to evolve into a Russian-Ukrainian battlefield in Africa.

A Look Back at The Turmoil in Modern Sudan

Sudan is a poor farming and herding country in Africa. It is assessed by the United Nations as one of the least developed countries in the world. In 2020, the country declared a state of economic emergency to deal with the economic crisis and currency devaluation; it is also the most unstable country in the world , Sudan has been battered by wars and coups over the past half century:

• It gained independence from British colonial rule in 1956.

• South Sudan gained full independence in 2011 after decades of civil war and division.

• In April 2019, the military uprising in Sudan overthrew the 30-year-old Bashir dictatorship. In August of the same year, the “Sudan Sovereignty Council” composed of military and civilian representatives was established. The military representative was the chairman of “Burhan”, and the prime minister of the transitional government was “Hamduk” power, which was supposed to hold democratic elections by the end of 2023.

• Unexpectedly, in October 2021, the military coup happened again. The chairman of the interim committee and the military representative “Burhan” put the civilian prime minister “Hamduk” under house arrest. At the same time, the army imposed martial law on the capital Khartoum, cutting off power and internet in the city. In November, the two sides signed a political declaration, and the military agreed to re-appoint Hamduk as Prime Minister of the Sudanese Transitional Government. Then will there be variables?

• A “Rapid Support Force ” established in 2013 and led by the vice-chairman of the Sovereign Council “Dagalo ” finally had another military coup with the army of “Burhan ” on April 16, 2023. The conflict was caused by the two It broke out due to political discord. Both sides have released words in the media, accusing each other of being an evil force that should be overthrown, etc. All this has thrown the country’s democratic process into disarray, with people taking to the streets, blocking roads with barricades, going on strike, raising the flag and shouting “No cooperation with the coup d’etatists!”

Sultan’s Destiny

In 2020, President Trump signed the “Abraham Accord” with Israel, UAE, and Bahrain, and then Sudan, Morocco, Oman, and Jordan joined in one after another, all of which normalized diplomatic and economic relations with Israel. The great significance of this agreement is that it has greatly maintained and strengthened the stability of the Middle East, the peace of African countries and the world.

Just as we were rejoicing because of the collapse of the Bashir regime, the abolition of the apostasy law, the spread of the gospel, and the signing of the “Abraham Accord”, Sudan immediately entered a state of emergency in spiritual warfare-the uninterrupted military chaos seems to be Cut off her fate. The enemy wants to use people’s desire for power (military rebellion, military power) to make a big breach, making her a Russian-Ukrainian battlefield in Africa, but God is calling the sons and daughters of the world to stand with Sudan on the spiritual battlefield at this moment!

The small but strong Sudanese Church is being pushed by God into the depths of her destiny. We pray that not only will she become a powder keg for Africa, but in the not-too-distant future, she will become a preacher of the “Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven” to bring the Gospel down. The messengers of the land become a pair of hands leading Africa to bless the holy city of Zion.

Pray for America: Power to Rebirth America

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from the “Give Him 15 Minutes” prayer on 3/27 by intercession leader Dutch Sheets . “I invite you to join me every day in prayer for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes,” give a comment, and then we will pray together. As we stand for America” You can join us here as we go to Petition. “

【Background: A dream was sent to me a couple of years ago in which George Washington, who commissioned the birth of the Appeal to Heaven flag, presented me the original, saying, “It still works.” Today, I want to review the history of this flag, and mention what Holy Spirit is doing with it in our time.

Toward the end of 2013, I realized I was ending a 13-year spiritual journey. It started during a prayer and ended with a flag, an old and forgotten flag – by everyone, it seems, except God. He had kept this banner in hiding for a couple of centuries, waiting in the wings of history until He was ready to reintroduce it.

And Reintroduce It He Has!

The Appeal To Heaven flag now hangs in thousands of homes, prayer rooms, churches, government buildings, and even businesses. A church in Indiana made their own version – fifteen feet by thirty feet – then made one for me! Another congregation decorated the Christmas tree in their foyer with dozens of small Appeal to Heaven flags. Thousands of people have small ones tucked in their Bibles, tacked to bulletin boards, or conspicuously sitting on their desks. Others display them as lapel pins, wear them emblazoned on shirts, show them off on bumper stickers and at least one person has the flag tattooed on his arm! Governors display the flag, as do judges and congressmen; one was spotted in the U.S. Capitol. Another was recently flown over the Capitol of Arkansas. The other day I saw an appeal to heaven flag streaming behind an 18-wheeler – it’s going viral!

The flag is associated with America’s founding, to be sure. It seems, however, that God doesn’t intend it to be used by America alone. It can be seen flying in the Himalayas – the highest point on the planet – where it is raised above dozens of Buddhist prayer flags. It has flown on the plains of Ninevah, the place of earth’s first region-transforming revival, and in many nations including South Africa, Panama, and Cambodia, where it was flown during prayers against human trafficking. It has even been to the North and South Poles! Who knows where it will turn up next?! This international use seems especially appropriate, given America’s God-given destiny of being a spiritual light to the nations.

In times past, flags held more significance than they do in our present day. Their symbolism was understood, from the color to the design, enabling a flag to tell a story or make a strong statement. Many flags are sacred – people swear allegiance to them and die to protect their honor. Banners, as they are also called, were often intended to make declarations. One early colonial American flag had a picture of a coiled snake with the accompanying phrase, “Don’t Tread On Me.” It was a warning to Great Britain: “Be careful; step on us, and we strike!”

The Appeal To Heaven flag is especially relevant to America’s God-given purpose and destiny. Modern-day progressives, historical revisionists, woke politicians, and humanistic professors scoff at the notion that America was established by God for a divine purpose. They also mock the assertion that our Founders believed in and honored this divine-human partnership. Sadly, some Christian’s do, as well, joining the Left in calling those of us who share these beliefs “Christian Nationalists.” They, of course, get to define what that means – it’s one of their propagandizing tactics. What they don’t get to do is change the facts. As John Adams said, “facts are stubborn things…” These modernists and revisionists may not like America’s origins, but they can’t change them. Yahweh, the God of the Bible, was indeed involved in America’s founding and He did so for His purpose.

When General George Washington commissioned the Appeal to Heaven flag to fly over our naval ships in the Revolutionary War – don’t look for that in our modern-day American history books – little did he know that 240 years later, God would ordain that it fly again. This time around, however, it isn’t flying over a fledgling nation being born, but over the most powerful nation in the world being reborn. This rebirth isn’t literal, of course, but is a spiritual and moral renewal that will resurrect America’s God-given calling, purpose, and greatness.

In the days of the flag’s genesis, the American colonists had no chance of winning a war with the world’s greatest empire, Great Britain. The impossible odds, however, lost their relevance once the patriots chose appealing to heaven over conceding to fate…and tyrants. When those ill-prepared and poorly equipped revolutionaries appealed for justice to the Giver of inalienable rights, the tide turned. When they agreed to come under God’s governance and honor His ways, He who “governs in the affairs of men,” as Ben Franklin stated at the Constitutional Convention, did just that. Affirming the Lord’s governing intervention, Franklin also said, “All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of super-intending providence in our favor.”

Now, let it be said of our generation that when our nation teetered on the edge of destruction, having lost the ancient path of truth, we answered the divine call to appeal for its restoration. Let it be said of us, as it was of our forefathers, that in the face of overwhelming odds, we took our stand in heaven’s courtroom, appealing to the Judge of all the earth for His saving grace, mercy, and sustaining power.
