Editorial Special Section: Lou Engle and Cheryl Amabile: The Luke 4:14 Fast

Message:  Lou Engle & Cheryl Amabile Date : February 28, 2025 Source: Elijah’s List 

Intro from Cheryl Amabile:

We have come full circle to our annual Forty-Day Jesus Fast. The Lord has led us to a Luke 4:14 moment where we stand at the threshold of the greatest healing revival the world has ever seen. But every threshold comes with a threshing floor of preparation. We invite you to join us as part of a corporate breaker company. Ask the Lord how you might empty yourself, making room in your schedule, and perhaps even your stomach, over these next forty days. Our core team is heading to California for much of the fast. It is ground zero for revival… Thank you for your love and support!

With gratitude,

Editorial Special Section: 【Voice of Fig】 Prophetic Message 578522 Acceleration

Message : Jenny Lee Date : March 4, 2025   Source: YouTube video

A Month Full of Energy

• March is a month full of momentum! God has used the stress you’re under to narrow things down and focus on what’s really important. Just like when you are squeezed into a narrow space, you quickly gain strength; God has been allowing this squeeze to remove distractions and align you with His mission. Nonessentials are disappearing all the time, and you are emerging from the fog of clutter and distraction into the clarity of your calling. I command and declare that there will be no more delays, no more distractions/interferences in you! March is a month full of momentum! This month you will see rapid acceleration when you stay focused!

Dear Global 24/7 Prayer Wall Intercessors, Peace be with you!

After 5785 years, changes are happening rapidly on the entire earth, and waves and calls for fasting and prayer are rising and falling around the world. We have listed here some of the ongoing calls to prayer for food:

• 【3/1-4/9 】Lou Engle: 40-day Christian fast, Luke 4:14 call to fast
• 【3/9-3/30 】Canada Divine Call: 40 Days of Fasting and Prayer

We are now at the sacred moment of reset and are also entering the golden age, ushering in an unprecedented harvest. As the late prophet Kim Clement prophesied:  “Now is not the time to stop praying, now is not the time to stop fasting . Now is the time for you to lift up your arms, says the Lord, so that the battle can be won.”

We encourage all intercessors to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, join this wave of fasting and prayer, and pray together with the members of Christ around the world to fulfill God’s plan and will at this time!

Declaration Prayer: Declaration for the Month of Adar

Editor’s note: Adar – the twelfth month of the Jewish sacred calendar, the sixth month of the civil year 5785, corresponding to March 1, 2025 to March 29, 2025 in the Gregorian calendar.

In the name of Jesus I declare :

• I am full of the Lord’s grace!
• The Holy Spirit will continually give me good things and words of grace to speak.
• I embrace my identity as a warrior of God, and God will provide for me.
• The more I celebrate, the more I step into my true identity.
• The happier I am, the more the “mask” falls off.
• When I feel anxious about provision, I immediately declare God to be my provider.
• The joy of the Lord is my strength, and my laughter will break the barrenness and activate the fulfillment of God’s promises.
• Depression and discouragement have no place in me.
• Jesus sets me free. For any remaining bondage in my life, deliverance is already underway.
• I celebrate the goodness of God and every command coming against me is broken in the name of Jesus.
• I forgive those who “cursed” me. I break all false declarations in my life.
• I am the leader! I am rising!

(Adapted from Ramadan – 30 days of prayer for Muslims [3/1-3/30])

Pray for America: Times That Expose Men’s Souls

Editor’s Note:  This article is reprinted from Dutch Sheets’ “Give Him 15” post on March 5th．

【 Current Events/Background:  I have quoted from Thomas Paine’s essay, “The American Crisis,” on previous Give Him 15 posts. I think of it often and read it occasionally, finding it inspiring – as did Washington’s army in the Revolutionary War. In an article published by History.com, Missy Sullivan gives us background on this famous essay, and why it was so important. In it she says: …Detailed Reading】

【 Prayer 】

Father, I pray today for the praying Ekklesia, those who faithfully pick up the sword and intercede for America and the nations. You are using them to shape history. Their prayers release the gospel, salvations, Holy Spirit power, and miracles (Acts 4:29-31). Their prayers release manifestations of Your Kingdom and generate Your will on earth (Matthew 6.10). They release the rain of revival (Zechariah 10:1). Keep them reminded of this. Remind all of those who regularly pray for these things of the unspeakable honor of partnering with You to see Your will accomplished. 

And regarding our nation, we took our eyes off the prize, the honor of this partnership, and squandered our inheritance, just like the prodigal son in Scripture. We have now found ourselves feeding on husks meant for swine and bathing in mud. Many of our government leaders have reached the “fool” and “reprobate” status You spoke of in Romans 1:18-32. The times in which we live have exposed their depraved souls. Our culture became demonized, feeding on filth, and casting off all restraint (Proverbs 29:18 ESV). Expose and remove the masks, uncover the files. In Your great mercy redeem the humble; in Your power crush those who resist You, just as You promised in Psalm 2. 

And Father, we confess that much of the church became conformed to the world (Romans 12:1-2), rather than enlightening and preserving society (Matthew 5:13-14); and we agreed to be muzzled (Acts 4:18). But You have awakened many. We ask for this to continue. Bring sleepless nights to spiritual leaders who have abandoned truth. Haunt their dreams, awaken their consciences, restore passion, and relight the flames of their first love. Send revival. We appeal for the real thing, nothing less than genuine world-changing revival. Do it here and around the world. Millions are perishing without You; change this!  We decree that we will persevere in the righteous cause of changing the heavens…to change the earth.

All of this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Savior of the world.

Critical Event: HOLY CONVOCATION – Rise Up, Canada!

【Background of Current Events:  Since Trump took office nearly seven weeks ago, he has not only carried out a series of drastic reforms in the United States and withdrawn from multiple international organizations, but also promoted peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Kazakhstan, and the release of hostages. The mandatory tariff policies on Canada, Mexico, and China have all been disrupted. .…Detailed Reading】

• Joel:15-17 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation. Gather the elders, gather the children and the nursing babes. Bring the bridegroom out of her chamber, and the bride out of her closet. The LORD’s ministers shall weep between the porch and the altar, and say, ‘Have mercy on your people, LORD, and do not let your inheritance be a reproach, so that the nations may rule over them. Why should the nations say, ‘Where are their gods?'”
• Psalm 20:7 “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will make known the name of the LORD our God.”
• Isa 45:21-22 “Speak and set forth your cause; let them take counsel together. Who has declared it from ancient times? Who has declared it from long ago? Was it not I, the LORD?

• Isa 11:2-3 “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him, a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. He will take delight in the fear of the LORD; he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor determine by what his ears hear.”

【Declaration of Prayer】

• Father! We thank You for all You have done in Canada. We thank You for shaking and stirring Canada to wake it up and stand up and fight for Your destiny and purpose for Canada.
• Father! We ask that You forgive Canada’s willful sin, the sin of not regarding Jehovah as God, and the many laws that have been established and implemented that are not in line with God’s will, deviating from Your will. Lord! We come before You in sackcloth and ashes. Please do not hide Your face from Canada. Please give Canada a chance to repent and awaken Your people and Your priests to stand on the altar.
• Father! Please help Canada return to You and truly rely on You, not on any country in the world, but on the Lord who helps us.
• Father! Please bless Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is currently serving for a short period of time , so that he can have the spirit of worshipping the Lord, and be filled with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and power, so that he can lead Canada.
• Father! We declare that Canada will hold a federal election and a new prime minister who is to Your liking and has a real popular base will be elected. We declare that the enemy’s attempt to delay the election will not succeed. You will raise up a Canadian Trump to lead Canada.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pray for the Indigenous People:Determination in the Fire of War – The Earthly Firstborn and the Spiritual Firstborn Stand Together

【Current events/Background: We reported here that the “Indigenous Embassy of Jerusalem” (IEJ) was established in Israel on February 1 this year, and held a simple opening ceremony (to read related reports, please click here ), and planned The grand opening of the “Jerusalem Aboriginal Embassy” to be held on October 27 this year. Indigenous people from all over the world were invited to wear their own outfits and bring gifts to Israel, stand with Israel, speak for Israel, and support God’s chosen people.…Detailed Reading 】

• The earthly firstborn and the spiritual firstborn stand together:　Heavenly Father, the indigenous people represent the Gentiles of the nations, who came to Jerusalem to stand with the Judahs during Israel’s difficult times. They comfort and comfort Your people! They are to visit Zion and enter into the covenant of union with Your Beloved. May your heart also be comforted! When the indigenous people (the earthly firstborn) and the Jews (the spiritual firstborn) stand together in Jerusalem, worshiping and praising together, the two become one, and the glory of heaven will fill the entire holy city. Peace is no longer just a luxury, the Lord His ways will be taught to all nations.

【3/9-3/30 】 HOLY CONVOCATION: 40 Days of Fasting & Prayer

Stay connected with the Holy Convocation here!

The voice of the Lord resounds, issuing a solemn charge to Canada: It is time for a HOLY CONVOCATION—an appointed moment for divine intervention.

There is a time for everything: a time for peace and a time for war, a time to come in and a time to go out.
The Lord awakens us with a resounding question:
“What time is it, Canada?”

It is time to:
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.
Gather the people, consecrate the assembly;
Bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber.

Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the portico and the altar.
Let them say, ‘Spare your people, Lord.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
Joel 2:15-17

We hear the Lord calling the Church of Canada to 40 days of corporate fasting and prayer from 6pm, March 9 to 6pm, April 18, 2025.

This is not an individual consecration—this is a corporate call.

As ONE body, we come to the altar in repentance, aligning with His time, His sovereign plan, and His holy desires.

The Charge is Clear:
Fast all you consume, and consume Me. Hear My voice and obey. Give Me your TIME.

“All we consume” is not just food—it is everything that takes our attention, focus, and mental space.

We hear the Lord is saying:
“I challenge you to make ROOM for Me in a radical way. Fast everything that consumes your time, and let Me consume you.”

【3/1-3/30】21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for the Nation

2025 Time For Taiwan Taiwan’s prayers are rising

Three years ago, the North American intercessory prayer team, through dreams and prayers, organized more than 70 people to come to Taiwan to fast and pray with the churches, setting off a wave of prayer. This newspaper interviewed Pastor Nathaniel Chow, chairman of the Kingdom Revival Unity Prayer Alliance, and encouraged all churches in Taiwan to participate in the 21-day fasting and prayer for the nation from March 10 to 30 this year, so that the prayers of the whole of Taiwan will rise and bear witness to the glorious work of God.

Pastor Nathaniel Chow said that thank God for allowing us to pray, not just pray, but also pray strategically, like RPG (Revival Prayer Group). When it was least expected, and not planned by man, in March last year (2024), a group of intercessors from North America, with 3 teams of more than 70 intercessors, came to northern Taiwan because of God’s inspiration and guidance within them, and invited all churches to fast and pray for the country together. Pastor Zhou felt that the 21-day fasting and prayer was crucial, and it was a strategic prayer. Although Taiwan has always been praying, it seems that there has not been collective fasting and prayer for some time.

Pastor Chow believes that the ban on prayer in March last year was a breakthrough point. He often describes this phenomenon as “rising water lifts all boats.” “Rising water” means that when the flow of prayer increases, the boat will be higher and many things will be easier to push forward. Sometimes we feel that the fire of prayer is ignited with great difficulty, but it easily fades away after a while. Last year, through prayer and prophetic inspiration, it was decided to hold a five-day prayer fast in three cities: Kaohsiung, Tainan, and Hsinchu. Each city gathers about 60 to 130 intercessors to pray and seek God together in the morning and afternoon, so that the city prayer meetings in the evening also increase and God’s work is seen.

Last year’s 21 days of fasting and prayer also had another impact. Last year, there were two gatherings on Ketagalan Boulevard. Whether it was the “Indigenous Peoples’ 30 Dreams in Place, When We Are Together Concert” held on “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” (August 1), or the “1228 Hakka Rise Up” held on December 28 (National Hakka Day), we saw that the power of prayer was rising, making it easier to promote many things.

“Prayer is unceasing, and the so-called rising water is not just a one-time event. The water cannot recede. If the water recedes, the ship will be stranded, so we must continue to pray.” This year’s 21-day fasting and prayer for the nation from March 10 to 30 will also include a large-scale prayer gathering on Ketagalan Boulevard on the 29th. I believe that if we once again fast and pray for the nation for 21 days in the first quarter of this year, we will see God do wonderful works.

Pastor Zhou appealed: “Brothers and sisters, all churches, let us not only come together to listen to the prayer, nor come to watch the prayer, let us all participate. I believe that through this fasting and prayer, God will bless you, your church, your denomination, your city, and Taiwan, and make Taiwan a blessing to all nations.”

The 21-day fasting and prayer for the nation in March last year witnessed the rise of the Nazarite generation. The flames of revival and missions ignited the young people. Many prophets also predicted that now is the “Time For Taiwan”. This year, the 21-day fast and prayer for the nation will be expanded from March 10 to 30, and the conference will also provide prayer guidance for the churches. A “Youth Rise and Revival Celebration” was held on Ketagalan Boulevard on the 29th.

Editorial Special Section: Lou Engle and Cheryl Amabile: The Luke 4:14 Fast

Message:  Lou Engle & Cheryl Amabile Date : February 28, 2025 Source: Elijah’s List 

Intro from Cheryl Amabile:

We have come full circle to our annual Forty-Day Jesus Fast. The Lord has led us to a Luke 4:14 moment where we stand at the threshold of the greatest healing revival the world has ever seen. But every threshold comes with a threshing floor of preparation. We invite you to join us as part of a corporate breaker company. Ask the Lord how you might empty yourself, making room in your schedule, and perhaps even your stomach, over these next forty days. Our core team is heading to California for much of the fast. It is ground zero for revival… Thank you for your love and support!

With gratitude,

Cheryl Amabile, Editor
The Briefing via TheCall

The Luke 4:14 Fast

“Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.” (Luke 4:14)

Lou Engle was recently invited to preach in San Diego at Morris Cerullo’s Legacy Center. Morris Cerullo was a Jewish orphan whom God raised up as a renowned healing evangelist in the 1950s. For seven decades, he preached the gospel worldwide, demonstrating the Spirit’s power through miracles, signs, and wonders.

Something very significant was happening in San Diego in the years leading up to Cerullo’s ministry. In 1946, thousands gathered in the city to experiment with extended fasts from food. This movement was documented in Franklin Hall’s book, Atomic Power with God Thru Fasting and Prayer. It sparked a global fasting movement that many believe contributed to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the great healing revivals of the 1950s. We believe that San Diego was—and still is—a birthplace, a John the Baptist-type of city that God has used to unveil the arrival of Jesus in His miracle-working, dunamis power!

What is also significant is that the Morris Cerullo Legacy Center is located right next to the hotel where Lou stayed in 2002 during the 31st day of his original water fast, inspired by Franklin Hall’s book. That night, Lou dreamed he was flying over California, roaring the victory of the Cross over the powers of darkness! With this recent invitation to return to the very place where he had this dream, Lou felt the Lord say, “Re-dig that well!”

It is remarkable to us that Lou was invited to San Diego on February 28th, which happens to be the eve of our annual Forty-Day Jesus Fast. As we anticipate the prophetic promises of another great healing revival, we sense that we have come to a moment of birth—a “Genesis moment”—on 2/28 for Joel 2:28:

“And it shall come to pass afterward (after the fast) that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” (parentheses added)

We have learned that if we want the “afterward” that Joel speaks of, there is always a “forward” of prayer and fasting. Even Jesus subjected Himself to this process and returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit. Throughout our own prophetic history, the Lord has faithfully led us into ongoing cycles of fasting and fulfillment. Therefore, we are launching into this new forty-day season with great expectancy. (Photo via Unsplash)

Following San Diego, Lou will travel to Orange County and then to San Francisco to mobilize the fast (see itinerary below). We believe that California and the nation are in a time of Great Awakening. Now, we must dare to believe for a breakthrough season of fasting and prayer to unleash the headwaters of the healing revival that the world so desperately needs.

Many in this season are being wooed into the wilderness of preparation for the breaker anointing. We invite you to join us as we experiment anew with the atomic power of fasting and prayer from March 1st to April 9th, the anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival.

Perhaps you or a loved one needs a miracle. For many of us, the battle for physical healing has become deeply personal. We can identify with Hannah in the Bible, who was crying out for a son while God was in need of a prophet. The birth of Samuel was His answer for both. Out of barrenness, God brought forth fruitfulness for all of Israel. Believe with us that He will do it again!

On April 4th, near the end of the fast, Lou will be holding a Field of Dreams Communion Service at Bethel Church in Redding, California. Twice Lou has dreamed that he asked Bill Johnson, “Where can you catch fish along the Sacramento River?” Bill answered, “You can catch fish where the river turns red.” Then, in the dream, Lou ran down to the river and saw that the waters were red. Fishermen lined the banks, casting their rods.

This dream depicts what Lou has referred to as “the redding of California” through the sacrament of Communion. It reveals our priestly privilege to appropriate the Lord’s cleansing and forgiveness by applying Jesus’ blood. In doing so, we remove the offense and defilement from the land and its people. Then, as kings, we stretch out the rod of God’s authority over the demonic realm, loosing souls from bondage and darkness into healing and salvation.

The Great Communion Blood Revival involves the raising up of God’s people according to our birthright as sons and daughters of our great High Priest and King in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1–3; Genesis 14). As we learn to function faithfully in our priestly and kingly authority, we will reap the greatest harvest the world has ever seen! The fact that Lou has dreamed this twice confirms, as Joseph said in Genesis 41:32, that “the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon”! Get ready, California!

On April 9th through the 11th, A Million Women will join in a three-day Esther Fast leading up to Passover. Then, on April 12th, we are planning an outdoor Communion Service at Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena. We are believing for the rains of revival to bring beauty for ashes in this city ravaged by fire.

Forty years ago, Che Ahn, the founding pastor of Harvest Rock, had a dream in which a black man said to him, “Come to Los Angeles! There’s going to be a great revival.” We haven’t yet seen that revival, but we believe we have entered the days of harvest. Che is currently seeking to rent the Rose Bowl in August for a mass evangelistic crusade in the 100,000-seat stadium. (Photo of Che Ahn via Che Ahn’s Facebook Page)

Just a week ago, Lou had a dramatic dream in which he was sitting in a cafeteria at a table with no food, only a glass of water. Lou accidentally knocked over the glass, and it broke on the floor as the water poured out. In the next scene, Lou was speaking into a camera, saying, “Can you dream with me? Can you see it? The Rose Bowl will be filled…” Then, music began to play behind him, and he could feel the presence of the Lord. He continued, “And the presence of God will come, and there will be miracles!” When he awoke, Lou understood the imagery of the dream: when we break the fast, the Spirit will be poured out!

God is going to fill the Rose Bowl. He is jealous for the sons and daughters of California as for sheep without a shepherd. Let’s pray and believe for a shaking of the state and a shifting of the culture. As California goes, so goes the nation!

Four Prayer Objectives

1. Healing Revival: As we re-dig the wells of past revivals in California, let us pray for a breakthrough of mass healings, miracles, signs, and wonders.
2. California: Pray for the turning of the state into righteousness and the cutting off of her unjust rulers. Decree that California will become the fruitful vineyard of the Lord once again.
3. Government: We continue to ask for heavenly wisdom to be given to all three branches of government. Pray that President Trump will be baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit and girded as a Cyrus for Israel and a Jehu in our domestic affairs.
4. Israel: Let us pray for Israel’s protection from her enemies and for power to possess the lands of her inheritance. We’re contending for freedom for the hostages and revelation for the people to know and embrace their Messiah. (Please consider signing and sharing this petition for President Trump.)

Editorial Special Section: Jolynne Whittaker: MIRACULOUS MARCH

Message:  Jolynne Whittaker  Date : March 2nd, 2025  Source: Jolynne Whittaker FB & Instagram

Welcome to March 2025! Month of MIRACLES and QUANTUM LEAPS.

In my time with the Lord, the Father began to minister to me concerning WINDS OF CHANGE and much needed RENOVATIONS.

I saw this is a month of much-needed shifts and changes, as the Lord renovates and over-hauls systems and structures, even movements, ministries, marriages, households and families——that require GOOD CHANGE in order to thrive and grow.
–
The Spirit of the Lord spoke the term QUANTUM LEAPS and He said some will make **SO MUCH PROGRESS** in the Miracle Month of March, that it will indeed be a MIRACLEas God takes some from the bottom to the top, others from the back to the front, some from broken down to lifted up, others from doing it but faking it, to flowing in abundance and really making it!
–
You will make unprecedented progress in March. You will receive creative bursts and ideas that are clearly Heaven-sent. God gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to those who can receive. Many of you will testify because it’s surely coming in the miracle month of March!
–
Clean out where God tells you to clean out.

Straighten up where He says straighten up.

Go back and obey your last instructions—because the obedience of last season is opening the door for THE SUDDEN BLESSINGS OF GOD in this Mega March!

And DO prepare for the mega.

Prepare for your blessing to arrive pressed down, shaken together, and generously running over.
March is bringing HARVESTS that will be uncommon and greatly abundant!

Winds of change are gathering and blowing to create this all-things-possible-atmosphere. Get ready to testify concerning the mega, a quantum leap, a sudden blessing, and truly uncommon harvest!
I prophesy miracles of God! In this mega month of March!

• Philippians 4:19
• Ephesians 3:20
• Daniel 2:21
• Proverb 2:6

Editorial Special Section: Tim Sheets: It’s Time For The Blitz

Message: Tim Sheets Date: March 7, 2025  Source: GiveHim15

The movie “Braveheart,” depicts the story of William Wallace. There is a scene in which he rides before Scottish troops, challenging them with the following statement,

“I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of Tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men, and free men you are.  What will you do without freedom? Will you fight? Aye. Fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live…at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance–just one chance–to come back here and tell your enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!”

We are advancing into a supernatural era of the church, even as we navigate a fierce season of spiritual war. This will be a time of notable miracles, signs, wonders and great harvest, but also a season in which we’ll have to fight spiritually for our rightful inheritance as the heirs of Christ

Since President Trump’s election, some have been saying “There’s a new sheriff in town.” I believe it’s time to declare something even greater, “There’s a new church in town.” Ekklesias have been engaged and are showing boldness, strength, and unwavering faith. We have been prepared and empowered by the Holy Spirit to win great battles. Those who know their God will stand strong in Him and fight back against hell’s evil agenda. 

I was recently reminded by Holy Spirit of a word He spoke to me three years ago: “It’s time for the blitz push of My Kingdom Ekklesia.” The definition of “blitz” is a sudden, energetic and concerted effort to accomplish a specific purpose; a push to complete a cause; an intense, sudden military attack. A blitz is intended to disorient an enemy.

“Blitzkrieg” is a German term referring to an intense warfare campaign designed to bring about swift victories. It is also a method of warfare known as “lightning war.” A blitzkrieg is a surprise attack using a rapid movement of overwhelming force to break through an opponent’s line of defense. It is a sudden strike designed to disorient and dislocate enemy defenders, unbalancing them to provide an opening for quick victories. It can involve multiple battlefronts.

Holy Spirit is stirring the Ekklesia to carry out God’s battle plans, changing things on earth and setting captives free. There are spiritual battles on the horizon that we must fight and win. Holy Spirit has trained, equipped and prepared us for the greatest advance of His Kingdom. Holy Spirit gave me the following word regarding this:

“I will move through My Ekklesia hubs and My triumphant remnant in sudden, energetic, concerted efforts to accomplish My plans for the season. I will lead My remnant warriors, implementing lightning warfare. I will lead you to strike like lightning. My Kingdom will now move rapidly with overwhelming force. Rapid strikes will break through enemy defenses, disorienting and dislocating them. Swift victories are on the calendar. I will call you to sudden advances, throwing hell’s kingdom completely out of balance, interrupting their plans and defeating them quickly. My Ekklesias will invade enemy positions suddenly, causing disruptions and scatterings to systems of evil. Multiple surprise moves will be implemented in regions, territories, and nations as My Ekklesia emboldens itself. Hell will not see this coming because their arrogance has blinded them. Their human partners will also not see it coming, as their arrogance, self-righteousness, pride and filth justification has blinded them also. 

“Swift, strategic maneuvers are being activated through My Ekklesias to scatter lewd pollutions of My identity for male and female. The demon prince of perversion promoting doctrines of transgender will be struck suddenly, repeatedly, and boldly by My powerful advancing Kingdom and My angel armies. Truth will be their shield and buckler. Just as surely as Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed for perverting My identity for men and women, so will the demon doctrines of blind leaders of the blind be defeated. Original intent, truth and identity order will be proclaimed. 

“Rapid strikes and sudden, energetic, coordinated efforts will now push for Me and My ways. Boardrooms, corporate leaders, and corporate identities will change. Government leaders will change or be changed. Sudden strikes, led by unique leaders I’ve ordained, are now advancing into positions of great authority. My Ekklesia’s voice is rising to sound out My Words. Angels are activating to tear down this stronghold of evil that is polluting a young generation. My enemies, the enemies of My heirs, will become unbalanced. They will stagger in the blitzkrieg of truth and righteousness that is now accelerating. Swift victories and turnarounds will be seen. 

“For I have a great harvest among those who have been misled and confused by minds occupied by demons. My truth will free them. My truth will reorder real identity, meaning, and purpose; it will rise in them, for My love is set upon them. I will free multitudes from the lie. I have sons and daughters trapped in the confusion and I will redeem them. I have prodigal sons and daughters to free. I have champions whose identity I will restore. I am moving to change battlefronts; activating overwhelming force to accomplish this purpose. I will disorient the confusers. I will now dislocate the positioning of those spreading perversion. Their influence will fade and their voices will fester from the evil infections they created. 

“I have targeted kingpin positions of great authority who, as Pharaoh of old, have hardened their hearts against Me. My Ekklesia, assisted by My angel armies, will target them in prayer to remove their influence, and to release leaders that will not resist My ways. For the blitz push of My Ekklesia includes concerted, coordinated, fast-moving efforts to remove the influence of evil kingpins. The Lord of Hosts declares to His church: ‘The warfare for earth will now intensify, but you will experience swift turnarounds as you release My authority to regions, states, and nations. Lightning warfare, quick strikes, and rapid responses will occur against evil that once enjoyed passivity’s stupor among My people. The world will now see a different church. A ‘ruling and reigning with Me’ church. A church that strikes like lightning. When hell pushes, they will push back. When culture, government, big tech and education pushes, they will push back. And when demons push them, they will push back.’”  

We are living in a historic, world-shaping time, a hinge of history. Holy Spirit is moving, empowering and resourcing us for this moment, energizing people with tenacious faith. It is time for the Ekklesia of King Jesus to boldly advance. 

Pray with me:  

Lord, we ask for the blitzkrieg of the Kingdom of God to be released. Loose Your voice throughout America and across the world. Thank You, God, for the release of angelic assistance and the power of Holy Spirit. Prepare and energize us with another powerful infilling of Holy Spirit; make us bold warriors, engaged against evil. Use us to strike like lightning against the strategies of hell, blinding philosophies, and plans of demons. Bring confusion into Your enemy’s camps. Restore purpose, truth and identity, freeing those bound, setting prodigal sons and daughters free. Give us great discernment, wisdom and understanding of our times. Lead us as we engage in the blitz push of Your Kingdom, striking demonic enemies, defeating their strategies, and setting captives free. We decree that Your Kingdom rule WILL come to earth. Will of God, be done! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree: 

We decree the Ekklesia has been prepared for heaven’s blitz, and will win great and rapid victories for the Kingdom of God.

Editorial Special Section: Lana Vawser: Daughters, Arise as Victors and Overcomers!

Message : Lana Vawser  Date: March 2, 2025  Source: Elijah List

Word of the Lord released on February 11, 2025:

Recently, I heard the Lord speak this over many daughters of God: “Arise, daughters! Break agreement with a victim mentality. I am causing you to arise as victors and overcomers.”

As I leaned into the Lord and listened to His heart, I heard, “My daughters, ARISE, ARISE, ARISE! For there are many of you who are in a battle of tension. There are many of you who are finding yourselves in a season of intense pressure to come under a victim mentality. There are many of you in this season who are taking the bait of the enemy to become a victim to circumstances, pressures, pains, and oppositions… But there are deep and mighty things that I am teaching you within the pressure and opposition—how to arise and stand in ways you never have before.

“I Am Inviting You Into the Winds of My Momentum”

“This is the hour to not remain idle in the tension—the tension to hide, the tension to run. This is the hour to stand and to arise, to move forward by faith and take Me at My word. For the enemy has come after many of you to continue to keep you in an idle position and cause your wheels to continue to spin, but without movement and momentum. And I say unto you that I am inviting you into the winds of My momentum in ways you have not known before…

“My daughters, this is the hour where I am mobilizing you within your assignment… causing you to move forward within My blueprint and that which I am calling you to put your hands to in this hour.

Do Not Remain Idle

“I say unto you, the temptation is great to remain idle; the temptation to come under circumstances right now and to hide away is great for many of you. But I say unto you, this is the hour where you must truly dig deep in the trenches of deep intimacy with Me to allow Me to teach you the lessons, wisdom, revelation, and understanding that I have for you right now, which are going to help you navigate this season you are in. (Photo via Pexels)

“I say unto you that there are also jewels of revelation within the season that you are in right now that are found in the tension, which are going to build you and set you up for the seasons to come. But you must not give into the temptation to remain idle; you must not give into the temptation to ‘come under’; you must not give into the temptation to hide and to remain silent. You must arise and DECLARE!

Arise and Declare!

“I say unto you that the enemy has ‘come hard’ at you in this season and in the tension to attempt to lure many of you into unbelief, especially around the power of MY Word. For the enemy has come against you to remind you, over and over again, of disappointments and heartaches you have faced and to lure you into unbelief. But I say unto you that this is the season where, if you take Me at My Word, you will see unprecedented demonstrations of My power at work within and through My Word.

“This is the hour that I am calling you to arise and overcome. This is the hour where I am strengthening your resilience. I am strengthening your endurance in deeper levels. I am sharpening your vision. I am sharpening your discernment. I am taking you into deeper realms of revelation and mysteries contained within My Word, but you must not remain idle.

Don’t Settle!

“There are many of you in this hour who have been entertaining the ‘lures of settling.’ There are many of you who have been entertaining the lure [to settle] for so much less than what is yours in Me and what I have created you to do. Can you hear the sound of t awakening to your destiny in this hour louder than ever? Your destiny to know Me and to fulfill that which I have called you to do on the earth—it’s getting louder. The call is getting stronger for you to arise and be who I have created you to be.

“I say unto you that you must get ferocious and violent right now in apprehending, by faith, that which I am speaking to you. You are not to cower. This is the hour where you are moving into overcoming in ways you have not experienced before. (Photo via Piqsels)

“For I say unto you that, for many of you, there will be decisions that must be made to separate you from places and spaces that are fostering victim mentalities within you. There are places and spaces that I am highlighting which are not building faith but sowing seeds of unbelief and a lack of faith within you.

“I say unto you, be ferocious in your faith, for there is great transition taking place for many, and there are new avenues and assignments ahead in this season. And what I am teaching you right now will assist you in the new avenues and assignments that will come in this next season.

Deeper in Identity

“My daughters, I say unto you that I am taking you deeper into what it looks like to live fully alive in Me and to live fully as you were created to be. The strength in Me—in the overcoming that I am building in you in this hour—is deeper than you have known. I am stretching you and pressing you, and all that is not of Me is being refined and purified. I am strengthening you in ways you have not experienced before that are coming from a place of deep, deep dependence upon Me. The strength that you shall know in this season is a strength that is not your own; it is Mine.

What Does It Look Like to Live Fully Alive?

“You are coming further into the days of knowing what it looks like to live fully alive in My supernatural strength. Break agreement with the ‘overwhelm,’ break agreement with limitation; break agreement with discouragement, despair, and unhealthy narratives within your mind, and meditate upon My Word and on things above (Colossians 3:2).

“Now is the time to get louder in your faith. Now is the time to get louder in NOT tolerating that which does not align with My Word. This comes not from your own strength; it comes from beholding Me and knowing that I am faithful, and that I am not a man that I should lie (Numbers 23:19).

“Receive the wind of My Spirit to strengthen you in this hour. Choose this day to arise and break agreement with a victim mentality. As you draw close to Me in faith—breaking agreement with a victim mentality—I will cause you to arise in these days with wisdom and discernment like you have not known, to move [you] into a deeper place of partnering with Me in gloriously unprecedented works in and through your lives.

“Agreement with a victim mentality has dulled down so much of your discernment; it has clouded your vision and filled so many of your hearts with despair and heaviness.

“ARISE! ARISE! Be violent in your renouncement of the victim mentality, and know that I am bringing you into a level of governing with understanding and awakening to your authority that is going to bring significant transformation in and through your life. It’s time to learn in a deeper way what it looks like to live as an overcomer! Not only are you taking back land, you are taking new land and occupying and overcoming, especially in the ‘lands’ of your hearts and minds.

“ARISE!”

Editorial Special Section: Ricci Johnson-Wilson: The Unifying of His Body

Message : Ricci Johnson-Wilson Date : March 4, 2025   Source: World for Jesus Ministries

Last week we discussed Acts 2:1-38, focusing on the impact of Katanusso—the piercing and Metanaoe—the turning, in terms of the individuals Peter and the Apostles were ministering to on the day of Pentecost.

There is another element however, and that is the birth of the Church.

Acts 2:37-39

³⁷ Now when they heard this they were stung (KJV says “pricked” Katanusso-pierced all the way through) to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles (special messengers), Brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸ And Peter answered them, Repent (Metanaoe-a profound commitment to change one’s behavior and align with the will of God – change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise (of the Holy Spirit) is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, (even) to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.

This is the promise that gains us entrance into the Body of Christ. Peter is sharing the promise He heard from the Lord Jesus not long ago:  

John 3:16-18 (AMPC)

¹⁶ For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

¹⁷ For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.

¹⁸ He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]

This is the Gospel message in a powerful nutshell. This is the core belief of the Church, our motto if you will, and this is the very message that should emanate from us. I believe over time, we have complicated it and reduced it to memorized Scriptures instead of something that oozes from our being. I remember years ago taking an 18-week course just to learn how to spread it to others and on my first trip out, I froze. Years of sharing the truth of the Gospel with my friends, and I froze when sharing it systematically with a stranger.

The Church’s motto, the truth of His life, death and resurrection is so profound, yet so simple. Even a child can hear and receive the purity of it. Whether we are children or adults, this motto should emanate from us and invite others to take part in the Hope of our future.

Let’s look at the Church aka the Body of Christ:

What is the Church? In the New Testament, “ecclesia” primarily refers to a gathering or assembly of people, often used to denote the community of believers in Jesus Christ. It is translated as “Church” in most English Bibles. The term emphasizes the collective nature of believers who are “called out” from the world to follow Christ. It can refer to both local congregations and the universal body of Christ.

Cultural and Historical Background:  In the context of the New Testament, the term was adopted to describe the community of Christians who gathered for worship, teaching, fellowship, and the observance of the sacraments. The early church was distinct from Jewish synagogues and pagan temples, forming a new identity centered on faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

Jesus Himself spoke specifically of the Church in Matthew 16:13-19

¹³ Now when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is?

¹⁴ And they answered, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

¹⁵ He said to them, But who do you (yourselves) say that I am?

¹⁶ Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁷ Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood (men) have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven.

¹⁸ And I tell you, you are Peter (Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock), and on this rock (Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar) I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it (or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it).

¹⁹ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.

The Church, are those individuals who are called out of their worldly-ways and into a new Christ-centered culture, involving an entirely different way of living and a new purpose for their existence. We are called out of all other practices to follow Christ. Our lives, our very existence and everything we do is to be done in accordance with His will and His ways. The ways He walked, the ways He demonstrated what it looks like to follow the will of the Father over His own will, is our living example of the prayer He Himself prayed in John 17: that we would be one with each other and one with the Father, just as Jesus and the Father are one.

Jesus is the essence of who we are! “He is the Christ! He is the Son of the living God!” as Peter proclaimed! And that rock—that precious proclamation—that revelation and understanding which Peter declared, really is the foundation of the Church. It’s not Peter’s Church, it’s Christ’s Church. His Ecclesia, His called-out ones, a unique collection of people called “Christians”. We make up the Church.

We read in the book of Acts that they became one in the Spirit on the day of Pentecost and this revelation exploded within them. Throughout the book of Acts we can see that the gates of Hell did not prevail against them. The Gospel message was preached, and the people were pierced through the heart and turned from their wicked ways to follow Jesus. The book of Acts reveals the mighty miracles wherein people were brought and laid down in the pathway that Peter would walk, likely to and from the Temple, so that as his shadow was cast over them, they would be healed of incurable diseases and set free from demonic possession. In addition, Paul prayed over handkerchiefs, and they were sent hundreds or thousands of miles to the those who were sick so that they would be healed. This is the literal demonstration of the life of one who is like Christ. Imagine if the Church functioned like this today!

Jesus said that the gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church. In the book of Acts, we see this truth lived out through every single chapter.

Let’s consider just the impact of Pentecost and Peter’s piercing message and what it teaches us about the birth of the Church.

Acts 2:40-47

⁴⁰ And (Peter) solemnly and earnestly witnessed (testified) and admonished (exhorted) with much more continuous speaking and warned (reproved, advised, encouraged) them, saying, Be saved from this crooked (perverse, wicked, unjust) generation. ⁴¹ Therefore those who accepted and welcomed his message were baptized, and there were added that day about 3,000 souls.

⁴² And they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread (including the Lord’s Supper) and prayers.

⁴³ And a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).

⁴⁴ And all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and (together) they had everything in common; ⁴⁵ And they sold their possessions (both their landed property and their movable goods) and distributed the price among all, according as any had need.

⁴⁶ And day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose (KJV one accord), and in their homes they broke bread (including the Lord’s Supper). They partook of their food with gladness and simplicity and generous hearts, ⁴⁷ Constantly praising God and being in favor and goodwill with all the people; and the Lord kept adding (to their number) daily those who were being saved (from spiritual death).

What does this show about the impact of his message?

The Church was born! 3000 people were added to their number in a single day!

What does this teach us about the birth of the Ecclesia?

1)     The truth of the Gospel, and what Jesus saved us from, was preached. They/we have been saved from a wicked, perverse, and unjust generation (vs 40)

2)     The people heard, accepted, and welcomed the truth (vs 41) It’s important to note, the Temple was 36 acres, that’s roughly the size of 24 football fields. If 20,000 can stand on a football field at once, we know that tens of thousands could fit in in the Temple. While not all heard the message, thousands upon thousands did. And only 3000 were added to their number (plus women and children). The Word pierces the heart, and repentance comes forth, but not always. They have to welcome the truth and pray for those who don’t. Day after day the Apostles went to the Temple, many more were added each day.

3)     They (the new members of the Church) steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the fellowship of the Apostles. The people stayed and learned the fullness of how to walk like Christ. (42)

4)     A reverential fear of God fell upon the people. The more we learn about God, the more we see our desperate need for Him and the more we find ourselves humbled by His great mercy to send His Son for us. There is a fear of offending or sinning against Him, we learn that sin separates us from Him, and a fear of this separation prevails in our lives. (43)

5)     The people were moved to give to the work that was enriching their souls so greatly. In addition, when someone embraced Christianity, the Jewish community would disown them, there was a great need for provisions. (44-45)

6)     They walked united in purpose. (Vs 46) The KJV says “in one accord”

One Accord: The Greek for this is “homothymadon”. Homo which means “same” and thymadon which means “passion”.

The term “homothymadon” is used to describe a group of people acting with a unified purpose or in complete harmony. It conveys the idea of being of one mind or spirit, often in the context of prayer, worship, or decision-making. This unity is not merely an external agreement but a deep, internal harmony of purpose and intent. This is a God-produced unity.

Cultural and Historical Background:  The early Christian community, emerging in this cultural milieu, emphasized spiritual unity as a reflection of their shared faith in Christ. This unity was seen as a powerful testimony to the transformative work of the Holy Spirit among believers, distinguishing them from the surrounding society.

They assembled in the temple, on the street, in their homes, thousands upon thousands were being added to their number, and they walked with the same internal harmony of purpose and intent, the same passion. What passion? The Passion of Christ. Their lives centered around Him. They served as He served. They prayed for the sick and they were healed. They delivered those vexed with demons. They walked as Christ walked. Jesus, the Son of the living God, put on human flesh and dwelt among us to show us how we are to live this life as believers.

We are the body of Christ, we have one mind and one spirit, we are to move forward as a unified body still today.

What happened? Why are we static? How did we diminish in our effectiveness as a body?

I did a quick internet check to see exactly how many Christian denominations there are today, 45,000. Yep, that was forty-five THOUSAND worldwide. That’s nearly 14,000 more denominations than Bible verses!

How did this happen? In the beginning of the Church, they were united, in one accord, they all had the same passion. Their focus was the spread of the Gospel, the one with the core understanding that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, and that God the Creator, so loved the world, He sent His son to die for us, that we might have ever-lasting life with Him in Heaven! His Son was sent to die for us. We are to walk in that same kind of love. Love that has so pierced our hearts that we have turned from our own way of thinking and doing things to walk out the life of Christ, AS HIS BODY in everything we do. When a new believer comes in, they enter the Body of Christ and flow in one accord, united, with the same passion that Christ walked this earth with 2000 years ago and that the early Church practiced. One that emanated the love of Christ.

That said, I would add to this list of what Acts 2 teaches us about what it means to be part of the Ecclesia:

7)     They walked in love. What kind of love? The kind we read about in 1 John 4

1 John 4:7-21(KJV)

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. ⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. ¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. ¹³ Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. ¹⁷ Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ¹⁹ We love him, because he first loved us.

This entire passage not only provides the Gospel message, but it details the entrance of the sinner into the Body of Christ to become as a fearless member. One who has repented, turned from their wicked ways, received the impartation of His Holy Spirit, and now bears witness to the Son of God, the Savior of the world. One who walks in the same passion and the same love that Christ walked. One who does not fear the loss of this temporal life, but rather, fearlessly pursues the eternal life. Just as Jesus bore witness to the Father, we bear witness to the Father and the Son. One who through their witness of the Father and the Son, draws all men unto His kingdom.

What happened?!? It took time, but man got in the way. Tensions between people and their interpretations of Scripture brought division and separation. Denominations formed and then splintered further from there. I will say that there are some splits that needed to happen, the Reformation separated us from the Catholic Church. But here we are hundreds of years later, and the Lutheran Church split because of sin and compromise. Now 2000 years from the birth of the Church, we have 45,000 different methods and beliefs on “following Christ”. They range from Catholic to Jehovah witnesses, Lutheran to Christian Science, Methodist to non-denominational. Wars have been fought over religion which is why in 1999 the Pope brought so many denominations together to sign a document to “unify the church”. The problem is, the follower of Christ, cannot unite with one who believes you pray to Mary, rather than Jesus, the Son of the living God. The follower of Christ cannot unite with one who believes Jesus was a prophet but not the Son of God. That is not unity of the faith, that is an attempt to bring all world religions under the Pope’s reign.

Documents and signatures do not unify, belief in the Gospel message unifies.

In December, I had a vision of the Church, or what people call the Church. It split in two and branched out into two different segments:

• The Apostate church – which, honestly, looked like the swamp. The melding of ideology contrary to God’s Word and woke agendas, it’s a thick and soupy mess of compromise and sin.
• The Ecclesia – the unified Body of Christ. The unified body went up and became engulfed in the baptism of fire. An explosion occurred and it spread like wildfire.

How do we become a Unified Body of Christ?

1)     We need to return to our first love. What do I mean by this? It’s kind of like our spawn point, that point where we enter the School of the Spirit and turned our lives over to God. At that point we gave up our will and became one with Him, His will and His ways. Jesus would tell the Church of Ephesus that His one complaint with them is that they left their first love. We need to return to the passion of the fire that burst within us the day we gave our lives over to Him. I remember when I got saved like it was yesterday. I made a conscious decision to give my life to Him and when I did, my life was forever changed. I hungered for more of Him every single day. He became the focus of my life morning, noon and night.

2)     We must cling to the Truth of His Word. No one can grow without proper nutrition and development. His Word provides this for us. We need to ingest and apply the Word, the whole council of God’s Word, every day. We need to connect with our passion—Jesus, through prayer, again every day. Today, with so many distractions available at our fingertips, it takes a great deal of perseverance to stay on course. We need to make a conscious decision that this step is not optional. Acts 2:42 says “And they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread (including the Lord’s Supper) and prayers.”

3)     We must move with one accord, with one passion, and that passion is our pursuit of Him. If our focus is His love, demonstrating His love to those we encounter, and walking out His love in our daily lives, like we read in 1 John 4, we will move in one accord. We will become a Church that the gates of Hell will not prevail against like Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 16. The gates of Hell will not prevail against us! Can you even imagine!?

In 1961 Tommy Hicks had a powerful vision. I shared this vision back in July of 2018. I’m going to close by sharing a portion of his vision. It is the product of the unification of the Body of Christ. That which my heart cries out for in this hour.

Suddenly, in the vision I was standing with the full view of the whole world before me. From out of the heavens came great thundering and lightning. Accompanied with this phenomena came a voice, a great voice, for it was the voice of God. My face was turned towards the North. With a great flash of lightning covering the whole earth, I looked down and beheld a massive form that appeared like a huge Giant. I was amazed as I saw this Giant cover the earth. Its feet seemed to reach to the North Pole, and its head extended to the South Pole. The arms were dramatically spread from sea to sea. Again, with another great flash I saw that this Giant was alive, and yet, strange to say, struggling for life. I said, “Oh, Lord, what does this mean?”

This massive being was covered with debris and seemed to be fettered. As I viewed this being, it began to quiver, then almost go into convulsive gestures. As this took place, I saw thousands of strange little creatures. Every time the Giant would quiver, they would withdraw. However, when it ceased to move, they would return again. I was definitely made to know what these creatures were. They were instruments that had bound the body of Christ throughout the ages.

Suddenly, the right hand of the Giant came up, and with it came a loud voice like a roar of thunder from heaven itself. The left hand was raised . . . and as I looked, I saw its hands extend into the very heavens. Then very slowly the Giant began to cleanse the debris from off its body. I saw it rise to its feet with hands outstretched to heaven, so great that its hands were in the heavens, while one foot was in the sea and the other was on the earth. I trembled immensely, for never before had I seen such a sight.

Presently, the sky was filled with clouds, heavy clouds, but lo, they turned to silver until from the very silver clouds themselves came liquid drops of light and poured on the form of the Giant. As I watched intently, I saw the Giant melt to the earth itself. The form had seemed to dissolve, and now in its place I saw millions of people. I cried to the Lord, “What is the meaning of this?” A voice so clear and vibrant said plainly, “I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army, which I sent among you.”

As I listened to the voice and watched the multitude of people, from the clouds came great drops, like liquid light. This majestic heavenly substance made every one it touched lose their identity. . . and their identification was JESUS. I saw no barriers, no denominations, nor sects, but the transcendent glory of heaven that rested upon these people compelled them to lift their hands in praise and adoration.

I watched to see who this company was worshipping. At that point, I saw a great white figure come out of the clouds pointing His finger to one and then to another. It seemed that He was giving directions, for as He would point, they would go, some through deserts, forests, and jungles. God is going to have a perfect Church. He is going to have a people that is so endued with power that it will not be an exposition of self, but it will be Christ in them the hope of glory. I saw these people pass through the fire unburned. They crossed rivers as though there was no water in them. They crossed oceans with ease, escaped persecution as though a hand transported them from their surroundings.

In spite of wild beasts roaring, being attacked by men with swords and weapons of war, nothing seemed to hinder them. They moved over mountains and through valleys. They moved like the hart skipping down the hills. Their faces shone with the countenance of victors . . . they were Conquerors.

I hesitate to tell this part of the vision, because it was with great trembling I received this portion of the revelation. I saw the man clothed in white point with a sceptered hand. Again, there was a pouring forth from His hand what I call “liquid power.” As soon as it would touch the person, he would have his hands bathed and dripping in the same heavenly substance. Upon receiving this anointing, they would walk into hospitals, through the streets, into the institutions, and on and on, marching throughout the length and breadth of the land. I would hear them saying, “According to my word, be thou made whole.” As the liquid power flowed from their hands, each one they touched was instantly healed and made whole.

I saw people transported in the spirit from nation to nation. I saw them going to Siberia, Africa, to Canada, and to the ends of the earth. I saw them literally lifted up and placed by the Spirit in the respective countries.

Then I heard a voice, not a thundering voice this time, but a voice that was low and beautiful as the murmuring of the waters. This tender voice said, “My little children, I have given unto thee my treasures. You are mine; you belong to me. I have loved you with an everlasting love. Now my power shall be in you. The gifts that I have given unto thee shall be made manifest to a lost and dying world. I am going to restore to thee ALL.” These people arose in the power of this great commission. I saw them cross oceans, go through fire, face persecutions, and be lifted by the Spirit and transported to many places. They were being placed where God wanted them. They were being put in places God was going to visit His people. They were prepared and already equipped.

I realized that this whole panorama picture was the demonstration of the Kingdom of God through those who follow Him. I continued to see a stream of people marching, healed, blind eyes opened, deaf ears unstopped—literally millions receiving the power of this great manifestation. It seemed so “fluid” in its operation. There was no exaltation of a man—simple, but profound, “According to my word, be thou made whole.”

As I watched, it seemed as though days formed into weeks, until months and years seemed to slip away, and in the midst of those who received the fullness of God’s visitation, there were also those who withdrew. I could see the anguish of their faces. The price was too steep; retaining of identification meant too much to them. They refused to march and eventually slumped away. The price was more than they could bear. They eventually slipped out into the darkness of the night.

In 2009, Mom released a series of messages entitled Acts Book Two. Why? Because the Lord told her that we were approaching an event so profound, so impactful, it would be likened to the events witnessed in the book of Acts. It will transform the Church; it will transform the nations as the Spirit of the Lord sweeps across the land. The Awakening and Revival.

I believe this is what Tommy Hicks saw…

Through constant prayer, the work of the Gatherings, these weekly prayer sessions, we are paving the way for such a move, let us press in and press on toward His plans and purposes to unify His body.

Blessings & love,

Ricci Johnson-Wilson
