Pray for America: Rise Up More Watchmen

Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 7/20 prayer “Give Him 15 Minutes” 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 15 Minutes to Him, give a comment, and then we will pray together. You can join us here as we ‘petition’ for America. – Dutch Sheets

【Current Events Background: One of the important aspects of prophetic intercession is to serve as watchmen. The praying church is maturing in this understanding. Adam was actually assigned to be a watchman. He was told in Genesis 2:15 to “keep” (Hebrew: shamar)- guard, protect, preserve – the garden of Eden. Shamar is one of the primary words for watchman in Scripture. Adam’s assignment to protect the garden had to be related to the serpent. Before the Fall, the only possible thing Adam could have needed to protect it from was the serpent. There were no other threats or enemies.…Detailed Reading】

• 1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.
• Romans 8:28-30 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.  And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

【Prayer】

• Raise Up More Watchmen : Heavenly Father, the cross is the ultimate proof that You used the enemy’s own tricks to defeat Satan. Please reverse Satan’s tricks again, use the power of the cross to break the covenant between America and death, and use all of Satan’s tricks to awaken the American people and expose its true colors. Raise up more watchmen, give them understanding and discernment, understand their authority, rise up in prayer and cry out, release the truth, bring redemption and revival, and transform America.
• We Declare in the Name of Jesus Christ,
  • God does great things that cannot be fathomed, and wonders that cannot be counted.
  • The watchful council of heaven will be multiplied.
  • The spirit of truth will be poured out in the United States, and the satanic enemy will no longer be able to enslave the young generation.
  • Young people will rise up with holy zeal to be the most destructive generation to the powers of darkness.
  • God is turning the destiny of the American people and nation around.

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Pray for Israel: (10) “But Those Who Have Brought It Together Shall Drink It In My Holy Courts.”

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 year is to complement the excellent devotional prayer handbook “God’s Heart for Israel” published by IHOP-KC, Kansas, Missouri. In 2023, IHOP-KC initiates a 21-day global fast and prayer according to Isaiah 62 and recommends participants to use this prayer booklet. We will publish the prayers in it every week in the future.

【Current event: As a prayer leader of Messianic Jewish believers in Jerusalem, Israel, it is very valuable to be able to supplement the handbook “God’s Heart for Israel”, especially for Israeli intercessors who participated in the 21-day fast. It is the main reason why I wrote “Isaiah 62-Praying for Israel” (hereinafter referred to as “Isaiah 62 Prayer”), and I also hope to help those who have been praying for Israel for many years but do not live in Israel and are not Jewish intercessor.....Detailed Reading】

• Isaiah 62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

【Prayer】

Holy One of Israel, I praise You for the covenant blessing of togetherness and unity implicit in this verse. On my knees, I cry out to You on account of the unprecedented discord and disunity in our land. For Zion’s sake for Your sake, forgive us for the hatred and rage of brother against brother besetting our nation. Mercifully remind us how good and pleasant it is when Your people dwell together in unity, for there the oil of blessing flows. There You bestow life forevermore.

In Yeshua’s Name, let God arise and let His enemies be scattered who stir civil unrest in Israel, thus hoping for her destruction. Your Word says You despise those who intentionally sow discord among brothers, so deal with Your enemies according to Your justice. Break the evil power of rebel rousers from the nations. Yet give even them a merciful opportunity to turn and serve You as Lord.

I ask You, Abba, to use the remnant of Jewish, Arab and other Israeli followers of Jesus to display and release in Zion genuine unity based on holy love. Let us be for a sign and a wonder in the land. Through us unveil to Israel the miracle of one new humanity: Jew and Gentile as one in Yeshua, Israel’s Savior and King.

According to Your covenant-based decree, and in the authority of the Name of Yeshua, I declare to Israel what You have said through the prophet Ezekiel: YHVH is joining us together to become one in His hand. He is gathering us together from across the earth and bringing us back to our land. He is making us one nation in the land, under one King. Never again will we be divided into two kingdoms, for YHVH will be our God and save us from our sins. As He decreed through Moses, I prophetically declare over Israel: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Together we shall drink of the goodness of God in His holy courts.

Thank You, my King, for accepting the pleas of my heart based on Your decrees.

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Critical Event: Fatherhood Ignited in Africa

[Background: Sudanese pastor Wagdi responded to the Lord’s call. On July 8th, he will go to Egypt alone to serve the Sudanese refugees who fled there, and rescue his nephew and niece who are fleeing. Here are the latest prayer messages from him:...Detailed Reading】

• Mal 3:1 a  The LORD of hosts says, “I will send my angel to prepare the way before me.”
• Mal 4:5-6   Behold! Before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, and he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of their children to their fathers, lest I come and curse the earth.

【Prayer】

• Impart the Father’s Heart : Heavenly Father, Wagdi has a father’s heart, he is the father of Sultan, and he will be the father of Africa in the near future! This is his destiny – he is to lead many sons and daughters back to their true father’s house. What he did in Sudan, he will do in the nations of Africa. Not only did he do it himself, but he also raised up many fathers and mothers, raised up many spiritual families, and took the Sudan and the lonely and helpless people on the land of Africa into his arms and brought them back to the home of the heavenly father. Wagdi said that he [had put life and death aside] and put only God’s concerns first. Here, we wish him the success of imparting the heart of fatherhood to African countries, reversing the curses of Africa, and becoming a home where the heavenly Father lives happily.
• Successors to the Kingdom of God : Heavenly Father, thank You for miraculously preserving Wagdi’s nephews and nieces. Wagdi wants them to stay with him and receive spiritual equipment. Yes, Father God, Your family inheritance needs successors – there is no delay in bringing up the next generation. They are witnessing the older generation spreading love and embracing destiny. In the future, they will become the mainstay of the Kingdom of God. We declare in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be an heir to the kingdom of God! 

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Editorial Special Section: Blessings of the Jewish Month of Av

Message: Ron Sawka Date: July 17, 2023  Source : Ron Sawka Ministries

Editor’s note : Av is the fifth month in the Jewish calendar year 5783, corresponding to July 19, 2023 to August 17, 2023 in the Western calendar. This article by Apostle Ron Sawka is excerpted from the 2006 CD Lectures of Glory of Zion Prophet Chuck Pierce. He highly recommends Chuck Pierce’s website for more information and a more complete explanation.

Let the Lion Rise Up Inside of Us So We Can Surge Ahead

1. It’s the month of the constellation of the lion, and therefore also the month the lion roars. The Lord, the Lion of Judah, is roaring for us (Joel 3:16) . We are still in the “dire straits” (Tammuz 17–Av 9 [July 6–July 27]), but we must shine brighter and brighter. Notice the Lion of Judah is roaring. It is symbolic of declaration of ruling and even attacking and conquering the enemy. Paul said that in all these tribulations, we are “more than conquerors” (Rom. 8:37), and Daniel prophesied that we would shine as the end approaches (see Dan. 12:3). If the Lord is roaring, then so should we. Let the roar—the shout of victory—rise up in you.
2. The month of Simeon, which means “to hear; to be concerned.” We want to be concerned that we will be able to continue moving ahead. Simeon messed up, just like Reuben (the previous month), who was unstable. Simeon was called an “instrument of cruelty” (Gen. 49:5). Also, there seemed to be instability, perhaps from his mother, Leah, who felt that bearing him would earn her husband’s love (see Gen. 29:31–33). We are grafted into the great inheritance God has for us. However, when there is instability in our bloodline (as was the case with Simeon—and as is the case with most of us), we need to develop spiritual discipline, as demons will try to convince you to align and agree with them. Therefore 1) roar, 2) keep testifying whenever God does something for you, 3) and keep remembering we are in covenant with Him.
3. The month that you decide on what you have heard. You need to make a decision. “Will I just hear what God has told me, or will I actually do it?” He is saying, “Let the Lion rise up in you.” Do that by calling on the warrior/overcomer anointing. One of the best methods of meditating is to declare what God has said. Keep declaring that you are a warrior and a conqueror in all things. And yes, keep declaring and testifying the wonderful things God is doing for you. Verbalize them.
4. Av is called the “low-point month.” Historically, bad things have happened to Israel on the 9th of Av. A few examples follow. First, Av 9 (July 27) is when the Israelites agreed with the negative report of the ten spies and declared they wouldn’t enter the Promised Land. Second, the first temple was destroyed by the Babylonians on Av 9 in 423 B.C. Third, the Romans destroyed the second temple on Av 9 in 69 A.D. Fourth, the Jews were ordered out of England on this date in 1290. Fifth, the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492 on this same day. Sixth, even the Holocaust is connected in that the stage and conditions for WW2 were set in motion by WW1, which started when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914 on the 9th of Av. The point isn’t to be fearful, but to be aware of the disaster that can happen when we abandon a covenant with God and refuse to believe His promises. I believe this is the best context for 1 Peter 5:8, which states, “Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” In other words, we’re not to fear, but to have a sober understanding that our hope must always be in God and the covenant He made with us.
5. Av is also known as the “high-point month” because of Av 15 (August 2), the day the last Israelite of the old generation died in the wilderness. Thus, Israel was once again poised to enter the Promised Land. Be of good cheer. God always restores and gives us another chance.
6. The month of the Hebrew letter tet [ט], which resembles a womb. The struggles during Tammuz and Av are like birth pangs. They are not something to be merely endured, but know that God wants to birth something. Tribulations are preparation for more blessings. Paul writes, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Cor. 4:17).
7. The month where God destroys so that He can reconstruct. The forty years in the wilderness can also be viewed as a destroying of old, wrong foundations of mistrust and unbelief. So for us, the more we choose to shine, the more we can trust God is destroying old hindrances.
8. The month where the earth begins to contract. Watch for earthquakes. The secret of the pregnancy begins to move into the earth realm. When you hear of earthquakes, know that God is getting ready to birth something.
9. The month that also means “there is an iniquity.” However, we don’t need to let it continue. You must change for the better, or you will gradually get worse. Pray, “Lord, show me my iniquities so they can be uprooted.” Choosing to shine in praise and worship, and choosing to declare you are His warrior will do much to uproot iniquitous patterns.
10. The month where the kingdom advances through partnership and connections. Be very aware of your partnerships. If we’ve been responding with more praise and worship, and if we’ve been faithful in making declarations, then we can expect the Lord will have birthed new connections for advance. Watch for them to come now.
11. The month of the left kidney. Develop a new level of discernment, or you will unwittingly oppose God’s counsel and advice. Note Psalm 32. He takes hold of the reins (of our kidneys). Don’t resist the leading of the Holy Spirit. Again, I recommend meditating on what God has spoken or shown. As we do so, we’ll see an increase of His wisdom in us, as well as an increase in discernment.

Editorial Special Section: Tim Sheets: Heaven’s Alarm Clocks Are Ringing

Message: Tim Sheets Date: July 17, 2023 Source : “Give Him 15 Minutes”

Editor’s note:  This article is a very powerful prophecy given by Tim Sheets a few years ago. Dach Schitz believes this prophecy is now being fulfilled.

A New Roar

“The alarm clock of Heaven is now ringing on the night stand of a sleeping Church; time to rise, time to rise to the occasion, time to get up!

“I have lions hidden in My remnant, not wolves. They will now rise to patrol and remove the defeated ones, wolf packs, that have come to scatter My flocks. My lions will be fierce, bold, aggressive and unintimidated. They will not flinch when adversaries advance. They will stand strong,” says the Lord, “and fearless.

“A new roar will be heard from My tribe announcing territorial dominion. A roar claiming geographical and spiritual jurisdiction shall now sound from My remnant; a roar establishing that the throne of the territory is occupied and guarded. A roar against hell’s power shall be sounded. A roar of authority in My Name shall come against hell’s intrusions. My ‘called out ones,’ My ‘sent ones,’ will now become ‘step forward ones.’

“They will move forward in My power. They will manifest their rights as sons and daughters of God, ruling and reigning with Me, as intended. My heirs are stepping from the shadows of cultural bondage. They shall now display disdain of enemy princes, mights, thrones, dominions, and rulers of darkness. No longer will they compromise in shared rule; no longer settling for cohabitation; no longer accepting shared occupancy with spiritual evil.

“Passive appeasement has now been replaced with backbones of steel, lips set on fire with holy ingots, and a shout of the King is in their voice, indeed. Jericho’s shout/decree is in their mouth. Determined faith shall now be seen in My faithful ones as they march to remove demon philosophies and doctrines of devils from the land. No shared rule with demonic forces,” says the Lord.

“My rule, My rule shall prevail. My words shall prevail. Power to prevail is being poured out.

Power to prevail is soaking My remnant. Power to overcome hell’s strategies; power to overcome demonic doctrine and a rebel government; power to ‘more than conquer’ demonic tactics is being released. Those who stand with Me shall see hell’s fire misfire.

“So arise and rule. Rise and roar with My authority. I will fill your enemy’s mouth with sand and their hearts with quicksand. They will find themselves stuck in their own mire. Roar with My freedom. Roar with My liberty. Let rejoicing roar out of Zion. March into battle with confident peace.”

My Shaking Will Open Ancient Wells of Revival

“Great revival fire will now begin to burn through intercession-soaked regions as My awakening begins to roll. The regions will now become activated by My glory. The time of My shaking has come. I am shaking earth; I am shaking the heavens. Walls, strongholds, obstacles, and hell’s defenses are being shaken down, and My remnant is being shaken free. My shaking will open ancient wells of revival. The revival in the womb of My intercessors will now be birthed.

“The revivalist mantle is descending upon My righteous evangelists. The fire shut up in their bones will now become words of fiery passion. With My Gospel, I will shake open the capped wells of evangelism. I will shake open the ancient healing wells. Miracles will multiply. My angels are pumping those wells and they are reopening as new wells. I’m creating new roads, new inroads, new mantles, new vision, new harvest. Behold I will do a new thing and you will see it. Now it will spring forth.

“Because your cries have come before Me, because you have pursued My Presence,” says the Lord, “because your worship has become sweet savor – the Lord of angel armies decrees over His remnant people – you shall now begin ‘reality church.’ No more acting, no more actors, no more pretending. Real church, real disciples, real Christianity, real worship, real power, real glory, real miracles, real healings. It is ordained, I have determined: ‘reality church.’

I am now removing arrows shot into My royal priesthood. Arrows of betrayal, arrows of Jezebel, arrows of Absalom, arrows of deceit and gossip borne by lying spirits, arrows shot by those bound by religious demons. I, Your God, am removing these arrows. You will be free. You will be healed. You will be restored and set on fire with My Presence, for I have said I will make My ministers a flame of fire. It is ordained, I have determined: your place of pain shall now be gain, and where you reign. You will rise and rule with Me.

“I am now coming to My remnant. And I am coming as Lord Sabbath-Lord of Angel Armies. Because they have aligned with My purpose, I will now align My hosts to aggressively assist them. There is now coming a convergence of the angel armies and the church’s prayer army into a divine coalition, the coalition of My willing: those who run to the battle, not from it.

“My earthly and heavenly armies will now challenge thrones of iniquity, thrones of idolatry, thrones of rebellion, thrones of witchcraft, thrones of humanism and antichrist dominions.

Battalions are dispatched and await the decrees of My word through My saints. They will respond and overthrow iniquitous thrones so My saints can rule with Me.

“It is now time for My greatest campaign ever on earth. Decree it,” says the Lord. “Align your words with Mine and angel forces shall align with you. Align with angel forces in your regions, and I will accelerate an alignment within your nation. Yes, revival is now; the harvest is now; victory is now,” says the Lord. “Arise and pursue My cause. Arise and roar. Arise and fight. Arise and shine, for Your light has come, and the glory of your God shines upon you!”

This word is incredible. There is SO MUCH in it. Read it through a few times and allow Holy Spirit to direct your heart toward parts of it He especially wants to minister to you. Share it with others. Use it in prayers. Let’s do so in our prayer today.

Editorial Special Section: Elaine Tavolacci: Getting Ready for Ascension

Message: Elaine Tavolacci   Date: July 16, 2023   Source: Elijah List

“As we are about to see a changing of the guard in our country, the LORD is looking for many men and women to replace those who have been in seats of great authority! He is replacing them with those who have functioned in spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11), as well as the five-fold ministry of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12).”

Let Your Voice Be Heard!

Many prophetic voices will emerge and be raised up from the pit to the palace. Get ready for a promotion. The LORD said: “Let your voice be heard!” There is a seat that is assigned to each one of us. When we find our seat, we will then rule and reign from that place. It is not about control or manipulation, but it is about rightfully taking our Kingdom position.

In that place, there will be no division or competition, as we will understand our true identity. It is not about self-promotion or trying to make a name for ourselves, but those who work together will speak as one voice and walk in one accord.

The right hand will know what the left hand is doing, as one hand washes the other. They will do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility they will value others above themselves. They will not be critical, but will have compassion rather than judgment against those who don’t know the LORD. (Photo via Unsplash)

“He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.” (Job 12:22)

God Speaks through the Donkey and the Burning Bush

True prophets of God, as well as other prophetic voices, should not be silenced or mocked. As the Scripture says, “…Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm” (Psalm 105:15). The LORD will speak not only from the podium but from the pit. He will speak through a donkey as well as a burning bush.

Those who know the voice of the LORD will discern between the holy and the profane (Ezekiel 44:23). They will not just speak with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, therefore our words have creative power.

The Holy Spirit will give voice to His Word through His prophets in this hour. They shall decree a thing and it shall be established. The LORD is going to raise up teachers who know the Word of God and will release revelations (treasures) from the Old Testament as well as the New (Matthew 13:52).

“You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.” (Job 22:28)

Those Who Know Their God Will Be Used to Do Great Exploits

Then God showed me some things concerning healing ministries and the miraculous. I began to read about the Israelites, who were led by a cloud by day and a fire by night; and they were fed manna, which the LORD supplied daily.

I also read about the great men and women of faith in the Bible, such as Moses, who parted the Red Sea, and Elijah, who was fed by ravens and raised the dead. Elisha received a double portion of Elijah’s anointing, and God used him to perform miracles beyond human comprehension. Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and it delayed going down for a full day.

In the same way, men and women will be used of God, and those who know their God will be strong and do exploits in this day. All creation is waiting in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed (Romans 8:19).

Blind Eyes Will Open and Deaf Ears Will Hear

Jesus is going to visit us and manifest His glory in extraordinary ways. He will speak to us in dreams and visions, as well as through miracles, signs and wonders (Matthew 10:8). Many will be healed, as the need is so great.

There will be people who are carrying the presence of God, and His presence will be in them and surround them. People will be healed in that anointing the same way Peter’s shadow healed the sick. God’s presence will fill the sanctuaries and His train will fill the temple.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12)

Just as God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them, we will once again see the eyes of the blind open, the deaf hear and the leapers healed.

“Just as it was prophesied in Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17 – ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams’ – it shall come to pass in these last days,” says the LORD.

Chuck said: Av is one of the most important months to help us fulfill the promises. In this month, we can choose to accept the curse or choose to break the curse, trust God’s promises, and enter into His blessings.

I declare that you will receive the gift of repentance and receive the anointing of divine reversal and restoration. My wind is blowing your lost seed, let it flourish and bear fruit. The Lord can transform, transform, and hasten the harvest of the earth. We must welcome the breath of the Holy Spirit and hope for the best for our future. Here are some of the prophecies released on Sunday:

May His wind cause your seeds to sprout in new ways. The wind of the Lord is changing, and the barrenness that was once will sprout at noon as the wind blows. The seeds you sowed yesterday that you thought were lost will begin to sprout for you before the evening is over.

Watch and See the Winds of Change

As the Spirit comes like the wind, I am releasing the wind, not only from the west and south, but also from the north and east. One thing is designed to bring one thing and another from the winds you least expect, for the day of revival has come upon you. I placed you in the arch and you prayed for it and longed for transformation. I am reaching out to lead you where you did not want to go before. By My Spirit I will give you the strength to do this and to wear what you never wanted to wear before, My clothes are all you need. I collected your lost seeds, kept them in a memorial box, and now I am shaking the memorial box with your lost seeds.

When I blow My winds and throw these seeds into the air, they will come back brand new with many flowers and abundant fruit. We’ve reached a tipping point and I need you to raise your expectations because I’m about to overturn the bowl and you’re going to see signs, wonders, miracles. We are at a tipping point.

Deuteronomy 32:2 Let my teaching fall like rain  and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.

Editorial Special Section: Keys to Kingdom Transformation: The Prophet’s Chamber and Fatherhood

Written by: Mo Lan Date: July 13, 2023  Source : “National Renaissance”

After the Pandemic in 2023, the group of believers began to resume gatherings. God brought the anointing of breakthrough and transformation in the gathering of believers in South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, demonstrating His miraculous deeds. Regarding the key to the transformation of a country or city, let us review the team operation mode of the initial home gathering – the application of the prophet’s inner chamber and father’s authority, how to promote the coming of God’s presence and the transformation.

The Workings of the Prophet’s Chambers

Regarding the revelation of the victory of the Prophet’s Chamber, Pastor Gideon Zhao pointed out that in 1995, the Heavenly Father gave him a revelation,  to build the Prophet’s Chamber, and wait for God’s revelation and action to bring God’s presence and further breakthrough and transformation of the country.

In July 1995, Heavenly Father led the Watchman for the Nations team to Zechariah 10:8: “I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before.” and held the first “gathering of nations” in Whistler, Canada . “Heavenly Father doesn’t want us to gather because of some famous pastors. But just a group of elders waiting on God together and receiving the will of the Heavenly Father. This is a new breakthrough.” During the gathering, the Holy Spirit uncovered the historical scars and divisions in the church, stirred up the participants to intercede, repent and declare, and take prophetic actions to change the spiritual atmosphere in Canada .

After the gathering in Whistler, Heavenly Father explained to Gideon that if the church does not operate in this way, the annual big gathering is just a show, not a real seeking God. “God asked me to cancel all the committees in the church and only seek Him. This was not easy for me. At that time, I was taking a course on church growth, which proposed building a church in a planned way, but God asked me to put it down and listen to what He said.”

Gideon received from the Father to gather the church leaders at his home every Friday, and it has not stopped for nearly 30 years until now. His home was the headquarters of the church, and they used the model of the Antioch church to worship and wait on God. Now the home movement is going to different countries and regions around the world. Regardless of the size of the meeting, the pre-meeting meeting or the post-meeting meeting, they all use this model to gather and wait for God. Whatever the Holy Spirit speaks, they do it.

“We have a covenant with the Father that we don’t initiate anything for God until God speaks to us, so we have authority from God because it’s the Holy Spirit who works. That’s the key to the prophet’s chamber.”

Prophet’s Chamber in the Bible

In 2 Kings 13:14-19 , Elisha told the king to shoot arrows and strike the ground, because King Joash only struck the ground 3 times, so the Israelites could only defeat the Syrians 3 times. “Heavenly Father told us clearly that the success or failure of the Israeli army depends not only on the battlefield, but also on the actions of the prophets . No matter how powerful the army is, God said that it can only win three times. The revelation of this scripture is the foundation of the prophet’s chamber of the entire homecoming movement. God’s prophecies and actions can determine the destiny of a country. During many large gatherings of homecoming, they were moved to release prophetic actions. After the meeting, the atmosphere of the entire region was changed, because God’s presence came .”

In New Testament times, there are also examples of the use of the prophetic chamber. In Acts 13:1-3 , in the Antioch church, the elders and leaders of the church were inspired by the Holy Spirit, laid their hands on Barnabas and Paul, and sent them out to build the church. In this closet of prophets in the New Testament, there are likewise only a few. At that time, Paul was only a teacher, not an apostle. When they waited on God, the Holy Spirit spoke. Then the Heavenly Father explained to Zhao that in the entire New Testament, except for the seven churches in Revelation, all the churches he knew were founded by these few people. This is the model of the church He wants.

Repentance in Canada

Through the gathering, the Lord revealed that the divisions and scars in the church prevented Canada from entering its destiny, and they needed to further seek the root of the problem. At that time, David Demian’s seventh child, Benjamin, was about to be born. Suddenly, one night, the doctor called and asked them to rush to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctor said that if you wait a little longer, you may not be able to keep it. He told Daimian, “From now on, every word I speak is a matter of life and death.” Demian realized that the Lord was reminding them to listen attentively to His words. Not long after, he was invited to attend a meeting. Heavenly Father said, I have called you here to tell you that the root problem of Canada’s inability to break through is anti-Semitism, which was brought by the European ancestors when they came to Canada to establish the country. If you don’t deal with this matter, Canada cannot be revived.

As they sought further in the prophet’s chamber, God revealed to them Canada’s anti-Semitic immigration policy and related history during World War II. On the eve of World War II in June 1939, ship St. Louis, carrying more than 900 Jewish refugees, drifted from one country to another in order to escape Hitler’s persecution and pursuit. Canada was their last hope and the last country to reject them. They returned to Europe with despair, extreme pain and helplessness. In the end, more than one-third of the people on board died in Nazi concentration camps.

“The Lord instructed us to welcome the holocaust survivors who are still alive back to Canada and repent their sins to them. We called for offerings across the country, and finally more than 20 survivors came from all over the world.” On April 10, 2000, representatives of the Church, Aboriginal people and Congress made a deep repentance to them for their rejection of the Jews. “When we’ve dealt with this, the country has the grace to deal with Aboriginal issues, Anglo-French reconciliation, things that couldn’t be solved before.”

Father’s Authority

Gideon pointed out that to seek breakthroughs and transformations in a country or city, apart from the inner workings of the prophets, another key is to accept the authority of the father given by God, and He delights in multi-generational walking and pursuit together. In 2 Kings 13 , Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” This sentence was also received by Elisha before Elijah ascended to heaven . Elisha wanted to get the double anointing of the spirit. Elijah said, “Your request is rare, but if you see me when I am taken away from you, you will receive it.” Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” (2 Kings 2:9-12) . Elisha took full share of his father Elijah’s share as the father of the nation of Israel.

Gideon also shared that Heavenly Father gave him and David Demian three spiritual fathers. The first, Bob Birch , was known as the Apostle of Prayer in Canada . The Jesus Movement in the 1960s and 1970s started from his church. At that time, many hippies believed in the Lord and became pastors. The second John White , together with John Wimber, brought the third wave of the Charismatic Movement to Hong Kong. The third, Jim Watt , was the youngest leader of the Latter Rain Movement in 1948. The three of them brought Gideon and David Demian together to make a covenant with God: If we do not hear the Holy Spirit speak, we will do nothing. “We are under the authority of three fathers, and since about the 90s, two generations of us have been seeking it.”

Recognize the Elders in The City

Gideon shared that if Heavenly Father wants to speak to a nation, He will not just speak to one or two people alone, so there is no collective authority. Heavenly Father revealed to him that whenever they go to a country, they first find the pastor who is the father and acknowledge the father of the country. “Whoever has the heart of a father, we went to visit them. During the process, we recognized some people whose ministry was bigger than their church, and who had a heart for the kingdom. I asked the Heavenly Father, how many people have such a weight in their ministry that they can disciple the nations? The Heavenly Father said that He gave the homecoming team a commission. When they went to each country, they would call those fathers to seek the Lord with them and walk together.”

The elders in these cities are the key critical mass in God’s eyes. When they are willing to humble themselves to listen to and obey God, God will reveal His strategy and initiate the coming of the Kingdom of God, the breakthrough and transformation of the country.

We will not initiate anything until we hear the voice of God, because others will look at us and know whether we are doing things by ourselves or whether God is leading us to do things; whether this authority is fabricated by ourselves or bestowed by God. “As Paul said in Acts 15:28 ,It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements. “The Holy Spirit and us” indicates that they have received collective authority from God. In the days to come, the community of believers will need collective authority, not to limit themselves in man-made structures, but to allow the Holy Spirit to fully dominate.

Call out Chinese Father

More than 20 years ago, God revealed to David Demian, “I have a group of remnants who are not afraid of persecution and death. They are Chinese. They will play a very special role in releasing the Jews and Arabs into the endtime destiny.” Since 2006, with God’s commission, Gideon and David have entered China time and time again.

The first father pointed out was Pastor Zhang Rong liang (Papa Liang). He is the pioneer of the gospel in the darkest period of the Chinese church. The Chinese Catholic Church he founded is one of the five largest house churches in China. He was in and out of prison six times between 1971 and 2011, spending a total of 16 years behind bars. Every time he was released from prison, he continued to preach with zeal, which promoted the great revival of Henan. It can be said that in the mourning of the fatherlessness of the next generation in China, the father of China was born by the Holy Spirit. The following is Papa Liang’s sharing:

In October 2011, I had just been released from prison. Two pastor leaders from Wuhan and Guangzhou invited me to Wuhan. Although I don’t know what it was, I was very happy. When I arrived at their home, the people there were very enthusiastic and called me Papa Liang. Papa Gideon said that during the years when we are not at home, he became China’s surrogate father. Now that we are out of prison, China should have her own birth father, and let the one that has gone through blood sweat and tears together to lead China. He asked me to represent the father. I feel that this task is so big! In such a big country, I feel unworthy and incompetent as an old farmer herding sheep in the mountains, to be the father of the country.

In the end, they all surrounded me and wanted me to be China’s father! They kept crying and praying to God, their tears and urgency really moved me! Sister Ruth said, “We were all raised by you and birthed by you.” I thought to myself, no, I have never been to Wuhan, and this is the first time we met. They explained: “The person who preaches the Gospel to us is either you or your team, or someone sent by your team, or someone who is influenced by the team. In short, we will call you Papa!” At that time, my heart couldn’t take it anymore! My own flock, there were those who rejected and betrayed me. Yet, this group of people who have never met me, said that I birthed them. I was drawn and affected, and under the calling of God, I received it.

Pray for America: Rise Up More Watchmen

Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 7/20 prayer “Give Him 15 Minutes” 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 15 Minutes to Him, give a comment, and then we will pray together. You can join us here as we ‘petition’ for America. – Dutch Sheets

【Current Events Background: One of the important aspects of prophetic intercession is to serve as watchmen. The praying church is maturing in this understanding. Adam was actually assigned to be a watchman. He was told in Genesis 2:15 to “keep” (Hebrew: shamar)- guard, protect, preserve – the garden of Eden. Shamar is one of the primary words for watchman in Scripture. Adam’s assignment to protect the garden had to be related to the serpent. Before the Fall, the only possible thing Adam could have needed to protect it from was the serpent. There were no other threats or enemies.

The first mention of satan in Scripture (Genesis 3:1) describes him as being more “crafty” than any other creature. The word used (arum), comes from a Hebrew word (aram), meaning smooth or bare. God was telling Adam that satan was slick, smooth, cunning, wily. Watch him! Applying this to all of us, our biblical assignment as watchmen is to protect our “gardens” from the crafty serpent.

Adam failed in this assignment. Israel also failed at times to guard against satan’s craftiness; yesterday I highlighted one of those occasions. I chose this incident with the Gibeonites because the same word used to describe satan’s craftiness was used to describe this people. Israel was deceived by the crafty Gibeonites into entering a covenant relationship with them (Joshua 9:4). Though they were a local people, they dressed in old, worn clothes, making it appear that they had come from a distant land, wanting to make a covenant with them [the Israelites] (Joshua 9:3-15). This incident clearly symbolizes or pictures all humankind being deceived by the craftiness of the serpent, thereby aligning with him. (You can learn more about this in Wednesday’s post.)

Covenants were sacred in those days, an agreement Israel could not just back out of or ignore. This covenant, in fact, was so binding that a short time later Joshua and Israel honored it by defending the Gibeonites in war! (Joshua 10). Another proof of its sacredness can be seen many years later during David’s reign over Israel. His generation was experiencing a severe curse of famine (2 Samuel 21). When David asked the Lord about the root or cause of this curse, he was told it was because his predecessor, King Saul, had broken the covenant with the Gibeonites. David had to make amends. That…was the strength of covenant!

Although the deceptive covenant with the cunning Gibeonites could not be broken, God decided to use it to paint an important picture. Through this crafty scheme, He would demonstrate that His infinite wisdom far exceeds satan’s craftiness; He would use it to picture 1 Corinthians 3:19: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written: ‘He is the one who catches the wise by their craftiness’” (NASB). As you will see, God’s play on words here is amazing.

“Catches” is the Greek word drassomai,(4) which means “to entrap or capture.” No surprise there. It comes from drakon, which means “a dragon or great serpent,” because that’s what dragons and serpents do to their prey: they catch, entrap, or capture them. Still no surprise. But drakon is also one of satan’s names, used of him twelve times in the book of Revelation (12:3, 4, 7, 9, 13, 16, 17; 13:2, 4, 11; 16:13 and 20:2). God actually uses one of satan’s own names, “serpent,” the very name associated with his craftiness, when describing how He outwits and traps him! “My wisdom is so great,” God is saying in this verse, “that I entrap the crafty serpent using his own craftiness!”

Now, back to Joshua. God decided to illustrate this and hide a picture of the Cross in the Gibeonite situation. The “crafty” Gibeonites would picture the “crafty” serpent. Joshua was instructed by the Lord to make them, “Hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord” (Joshua 9:27). Use them to make preparations for the atoning sacrifices, Joshua.

The altar of the Lord, where the blood of atonement was shed, symbolized the Cross. By using the “crafty” Gibeonites to prepare the wood and altar for the atoning sacrifices, God was demonstrating what He would one day do with “crafty” satan: use him to make preparations for the ultimate atoning sacrifice: Christ’s crucifixion. Get the whip ready, satan. Gather the spikes, weave the crown, hew the wooden cross. The all-wise God would use satan’s “craftiness” to orchestrate his own demise!

ONLY GOD!

This Old Testament occurrence is an incredible assurance that God can reverse the subtleties of our adversary – the dragon, the serpent – and use them against him. Through God’s amazing grace and wisdom, which always supersedes Satan’s subtlety, even our mistakes can be used to bless us, to work for our good (Romans 8.28).

Today

The serpent’s crafty enslavement of America will backfire on him. A generation of young people will be shown that they are being robbed of their destiny through lies about God and truth. They will be shown that their pain, disillusionment, loss of identity and purpose, have actually come from satan and his lying voices. Events will be orchestrated by Yahweh that allow them to taste of His goodness and love. This will forever “ruin” them to all other sources of fulfillment. The destructive lies and deception they were fed will fill them with righteous indignation, fuel the flames of holy passion, and make them the most devastating generation to the kingdom of darkness the world has ever seen.

Others will also taste and see God’s goodness, then turn on satan. Drug addicts and dealers will become powerful deliverers of the bound. Terrorists, like Paul, will become apostles and evangelists. Slave traders like John Newton will become pastors of abolitionists – as he became for William Wilberforce, the greatest abolitionist in history; they’ll write anthems like Newton’s Amazing Grace, the most often sung testimony in history. Do not doubt it: for every venomous bite of the serpent, God has the antidote. For every crafty plan, He has a redemptive strategy.

The Cross oozes the anti-venom, life-giving blood of Christ. It cleanses from ALL sin and unrighteousness – former sins cannot even be seen through it. It changes natures and eradicates sinful DNA, replacing it with God’s divine nature. The blood of Jesus heals every wound, restores dreaming natures, and puts new songs in hearts. The power of the Cross exposes every serpentine plan and releases God’s wise, pre-planned victory strategies.

Prayer, offered through faith in Christ’s sacrifice, releases this. Humble appeals, offered from repentant and faith-filled hearts, releases the very salvation of God. Watchmen have been awakened, the sleeping giant has been roused, and the ambassadorial representatives of Christ are beginning to release His authority. The borders of homes, cities, states, and nations are being painted, restoring the garden. The foreword is being commanded, releasing God-given destinies from the archives of heaven…and the great Dragon-Slayer is taking action.

As Founder Samuel Adams stated, “We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and in Heaven we have placed our trust.” Keep appealing and decreeing, church. It worked then, and it will work now.
