- Destroy all the power of witchcraft in Sioux: Heavenly Father, please reveal to the Christians in Sioux, so that they no longer engage in cultural activities that yield to the power of witchcraft, such as worshiping the sun god, and no longer believe in the myth of the medicine men, to clearly understand the truth, to have spiritual discernment, forsake and cut off any ungodly vows and soul ties, to completely break the power of witchcraft, to be free of the control of religious spirits, to be released from the oppression and blindness of the enemy, and be able to worship and praise God freely in the Holy Spirit!
- Watch over and protect all the participants : Heavenly Father, You are Jehovah Jireh! We believe that You have already prepared vessels for this prayer journey to accomplish Your will. We ask You to give peace to those You have called and that you will supply abundant resources to meet the need for the journey ( Eph. 3:20 ), so everyone can overcome any obstacle to stand with the Sioux family and to accomplish Your mission. Please also bless those who can’t join in person but give financial and prayer support!
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

- Isaiah 40:23 ‘Who brings Princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.’
- Leviticus 26:28 ’Then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.’
【Update: North Korea State Media (KCNA) reportedly warning US risks undoing the progress made in diplomatic relations between the two nations if it does not ‘withdraw its hostile policy’ toward Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
- Reuters: The ‘Four-Point’ historical peace agreement signed on June 12, 2018 in Singapore would be worthless, because US is ‘not doing the implementation’ (believed it’s the desirable release of sanction) (Phil. 4:7)
- KCNA: ‘The arrogant and unilateral US policy will never work on DPRK, which values sovereignty.’ (Isa. 40:23)
- Release of Sanctions (is subject to complete denuclearization)
The second Trump-Kim summit in Vietnam ended without success earlier this year, is due to friction over US demands for denuclearization, and N.K. calls for the reduction of sanctions. (Lev. 26:28)
Singapore Summit Agreement (signed on June 12, 2018) concluded:The new U.S.-DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, and recognizing that mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
The ‘Four-Point’ Peace agreement

- The U.S. and DPRK will joint efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
- Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Both President Trump and Chairman Kim committed to implement the stipulations in above joint statement fully and expeditiously. Both leaders committed to hold many follow-up negotiations, led by the US Secretary of State, at the earliest possible date, to implement outcomes of the US-DPRK summit.
KCNA Comments
It’s unclear the comments from N.K. State media that: ‘US is not acting on the implementation’, regarding US in the Four-Point peace agreement.
South Korea (S.K.) President Moon Jae-in said Monday, talks between N.K. and S.K., as well as negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington are likely to pick up soon. A third Trump-Kim meeting is under discussions which doesn’t need a third country’s arrangement.
Future Meeting
President Trump recently expressed confidence for coming meeting with Kim despite the collapse of the Vietnam summit and may imply not to repeat the last scenario. 】

【Event:2020 Presidential Election Campaign trails began kicking in with a crowded 20+ Democratic candidates, making it the busiest ever.
Political Changers
There are various critical ideologies pushing along by the political-changer-wanna-be’s aggressively, they are but not limited to: Progressive agendas, Socialism, Far-left or Far-right Ideology, Communism, New Green deals, Liberalism, misc. (1 John 2:16)
Who and why to elect is the electability the voters wanted, their needs and points of view are diverse. With that in mind, ages of voters indicated potential preferences of their votes.
Since the political landscape has culturally shifted since the Obama Administration. Its result impacted the 2016 Election that no one was ready for, especially the Democratic Party, even the world with the shocking victory of President Trump.
The realistic look at the age of voters may shed some light to the 2020 Election. Primary votes weighed on Millennials and Baby Boomers because they are the majority voters.
The Millennials We Know Today
10 years ago when millennials were young voters, even then the oldest of the generation were in their 20s, many were primed to vote in their first presidential election. They showed great enthusiasm in being able to vote for America’s first black president. They wanted to be part of history.
Obama did a great job exploiting that enthusiasm. He was the only Democrat to win a majority of votes from white America under the age of 25 in the 21st century, and he inspired minority voter turnout that never seen since.
After the first 4 years, these numbers fell at his second election. (1 John 5:19)
Today, these millennials aren’t as young as they used to be, and a changing world has influenced their positions. The majority of millennials are now in their 30s, and their political orientation is doing what you might expect.
These millennials voters graduated college and entered the workforce. They struggled in ways Americans haven’t struggled for close to a hundred years. Jobs were sparse, pay was worse. And, even while the country worked hard to suppress any dissent towards Obama, the millennials were clearly discouraged. By the end of Obama’s presidency, 58% of millennials disapproved of his job in the White House. That’s a huge turnaround from the record voter he achieved in his first election. At the end, the millennials were disappointed in their choice of president. One of the change is for them to switch to the Republican Party. As of 2016, 48% of white millennials were registered Republicans, while 43% were registered as Democrats. This shift wasn’t limited to racial lines. Among minority groups, Republican registration doubled even before the 2016 election took place. (1 Cor. 13:6)
Simply put, Obama’s failed administration pushed a large number of people towards conservatism. The younger voters turned away from the Democratic Party, and the mistakes made by millennials were observed and avoided by generation Z. (2 Tim 2:22)
The millennials who were told by the Obama administration that the economic stagnation was the new normal, but now finally are able to chase quality careers through Trump’s economy.
Today, millennials are able to purchase cars and houses, hope to starting families that were delayed by the recession. These are all common life activities that tend to push people in the conservative direction.
Meanwhile, generation Z is just beginning to enter job market, and their prospects are the exact opposite of what millennials experienced at first. That’s why the generation Z is the most conservative generation in so long.
Liberalism is powerless
The liberal narrative is not as powerful as it sounds. People have begun to notice. There are now more conservative millennials than liberals. It’s a huge trend shift and show Americans won’t have beliefs dictated to them by a powerful narrative. Instead, they notice the course of their own lives and make their own decisions.
Beware the New Green Deal Narratives
None of these is a call for complacency. Despite the shifting conservatism of millennials, they’re still less conservative than the generations before them. Most of this stems from social issues and the climate-change narrative. That means that a liberal leader could steal those votes back with the right charisma and platform.
Say and Do the Right Thing vs. Socialism and Insanity
But, this also means that millennials aren’t a lost cause. If Republicans can focus on effective policy, they’ll continue to win the millennial votes and the support of subsequent generations.
Despite ambitious persuasions raising socialistic narratives and insanity in the country, these are only vocal minority. As long as good people continue to speak up, the silent majority will feel more confident in following their conscience to do what is right. (2 Cor. 3:10) 】

Pray for Israel: Intercede for LGBTQ Parades Held In Israel During the Gay Pride Month
【Current Event: The official estimated about 15-30,000 people participated in the LGBTQ Pride parade in Jerusalem on June 6. It is the first of several such parades scheduled to be held in cities around Israel in the month of June. The parade occurred just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the appointment of Amir Ohana as Justice Minister, making a point of mentioning that he would be the first openly homosexual senior cabinet member in Israeli history.
About the LGBT movement in Israel
This is not the first gay parade in Jerusalem. The first gay parade in Jerusalem was held in 2002. In addition to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is the LGBTQ center of Israel and it is also considered the LGBTQ center of the world. Under fervent promotion by the international media and the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, 250,000 participated in LGBTQ Pride Parade in 2018, of which about 30,000 were from all over the world. Tel Aviv was also selected as the best honeymoon location for gay marriage. According to the polls, more than 70% of Israelis support gay marriage.
Forces behind the movement
· Ministry of Tourism of Israel: The Ministry of Tourism has promoted gay tourism since 2016, advocating Tel Aviv as a tourist destination for gay, bisexual and transgender, particularly in European countries such as the UK and Italy.
· Tel Aviv City Council: The Tel Aviv City Government invested millions of dollars last year to fund gay, bisexual and transgender groups in the city. Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai publicly declared: “Tel Aviv, which has already been acknowledged as the world’s ‘most gay-friendly city’ will continue to be a light-house city – spreading the values of freedom, tolerance and democracy to the world.”】(Source: ICEJ Chinese Affairs Department – Jerusalem International Christian Embassy)
We once again call on the global intercessors to rise and pray for the increasing proliferation of Israeli LGBTQ movements.】

Pray for Hong Kong – Millions of Hong Kong people protest against the amendment to the “Extradition Bill”
【Current Affairs : Millions of Hong Kong people rushed to the streets on June 9 requesting the Hong Kong Government to withdraw the “Extradition Bill” for suspects to be sent to China. After much negotiation, The Hong Kong government chiefs finally announced the suspension. Yet, the protesters continue to go to the street, wearing black T-shirt to protest.
The incident stemmed from a Hong Kong man who fled Hong Kong after killing his girlfriend in Taiwan in February 2018. According to territorialism, Taiwan has jurisdiction, but Hong Kong and Taiwan have no criminal mutual legal assistance, making the Hong Kong side unable to prosecute the murder charges.
Motivation Regulations
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam asked for amendments to the fugitive offenders ordinance for the loopholes in public security and to avoid becoming a hiding place for criminals. However, millions of people in Hong Kong are questioning the true motive is to please Beijing and facilitate Beijing to arrest dissidents people in Hong Kong and send them to China.
The Concerns of millions of Hong Kong People
The proposed law would allow Hong Kong to extradite fugitives to territories where it doesn’t have formal extradition deals — including Taiwan and mainland China.Critics believe the bill would leave anyone on Hong Kong soil vulnerable to being grabbed by Chinese authorities. But supporters said it will prevent the city from becoming a haven for mainland fugitives. the law will no longer guarantee the freedom of Hong Kong but will become a tool for Beijing to undermine the rule of law in Hong Kong.
The Destiny of Hong Kong
Chuck Pierce prophesied in Hong Kong last year: “proclaiming that Hong Kong is God’s. gateway to the next movement in Asia, a new movement is starting up and forming rapidly among the Chinese. Hong Kong’s role as a “gateway” is irreplaceable, it is the gateway to open and release breakthrough for Asia. (For more reading, please click here )

Pray for Sudan – For the Peaceful Transition of the Regime
【Background : The Sudanese demonstrators continue to demand that their military government hand over power to the civilian government. A series of bloody suppression from June 3-9 have caused more than 100 deaths among the demonstrators, more than 500 injured and triggered major strikes in the nation.
On the first day of the strike on the 9th, the capital Khartoum was like an empty city. The shops and offices were closed. The airport staff and pilots at the international airport all participated in the strike. The entire airport was empty and the traffic in the land and the air traffic was nearly shut down.
Sudan Professional Association
The Sudanese Professional Association (SPA), the main protest group in Sudan, launched a national “Civil Disobedience” campaign on the 6th, demanding the resignation of the ruling military committee and stating that only when the civilian government can announces on the state-run television station that it has taken control, will the strike end.
Since the end of last year, the SPA has taken the lead in launching a protest against the 30-year dictator Bashir, opposing the rise in fuel prices. Later, protests broke out in various parts of Sudan, which turned to the request of then-President Bashir to step down. On April 11 this year, Bashir was under house arrest by the military. The Sudanese Defense Minister announced that he would start a three-month state of emergency. The protesters demanded that the civilian government preside over the transitional government, but the military government that took over the power began bloody oppression over the quiet protestors.
United Nations announcement
The United Nations strongly condemns the violence in Sudan and expressed grieves over the civilian casualties. It also reminds the Sudanese military transition authorities of their obligation to protect civilians and respect their basic human rights, including the right to freedom of assembly and expression. The UN statement will launch an investigation to bring perpetrators that killed innocent people to justice and support the establishment of a transitional government with civilian authorities. 】

Pray for Latvia – 40 Weeks of Prayer for the Revival and Transformation of Europe
【Background :Latvia has been oppressed by many nations, yet, still maintaining her own national culture and language. Latvia is blessed in many ways, like good cooperation between different churches, and the fact that traditional Christian values are still relevant for many people. But also, we face challenges, like broken families, alcoholism, corrupt government whom the nation doesn’t trust.
Ethnic and language
Latvia, historically has been ruled by many nations, almost to extinction several times, and yet they refused to submit to power; Latvia and Lithuanian languages are the only remaining ancient languages in the Baltic region, and traditional mother tongues and music was their national identity. During the World War, Latvia was occupied and slaughtered by the Soviet Union and was expelled by German immigrants from the Baltic Sea. Latvia is currently the third poorest country in the European Union. About 30,000 people a year leave the country to seek job opportunities, Most of them are young and well-educated, resulting in serious loss of talents from the country especially the capital city.
Religious condition
Latvia is the last country being evangelized in Europe, Although the influence of the Finnish pagan and Baltic myths still exist but is gradually decreasing. According to the 2015 EU survey, among 76.7% of Christians, 26.2% are Catholics, 24% are Orthodox, 16.6% are Protestants, and 9.9% are other Christians. The atheist national policy of the Soviet era and the secularization of Europe caused the sharp decline of Latvian Christian faith and now only about 7% regularly attend church services.
The Constitution prohibits same-sex marriage
Since the middle of the 20th century, European countries have successively guaranteed LGBT rights. Among the current EU member states, six countries including Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Latvia do not recognize same-sex marriage. The Latvian Constitution prohibits the recognition of same-sex marriage, whether in partnership or marriage. However, in 2018, Latvia recognized the European Union’s same-sex marriage only for the right to residency. Although the government agreed to cooperate with the European gay parade, but the Latvian government did not welcome the event.
Abortion and sexual exploitation
Latvia legalized abortion in 1992, under the rule of Russian government, Pregnant women can apply for abortions in 12-22 weeks. At the same time, human trafficking and sexual slavery (especially among the children), and labor exploitation, caused the government to crack down on crime, granting funds, to protect victims, help them recover quickly, and block foreign tourists from coming to the country for sexual purposes.

The Plains States – Awakening the Father’s Heart in the Land
by Rebecca Greenwood’s Word for America – Part 5 of 9
I then saw Him move into the center of the U.S. and He spoke to the Plains States, “You will cause the heartbeat of the Father to beat again, and there will be an awakening to the heartbeat of the Father. A recognition of the Father’s heart of love will be awakened from the Plains States that will have effect across the nation.”
I could see the pillars of unrighteousness that have held that area in the heartland, but I could also see new strategies being birthed and implemented in order to see those pillars of unrighteousness toppled.
There is a stirring in the Dakotas which will surprise many. There is an awakening that is coming to the First Nations people in the Dakotas, a revival awakening move of the Father’s heart that will begin to beat again.
“The Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path.” (Proverbs 2:6-9; ESV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
Declare over the Plains States, “You will cause the heartbeat of the Father to beat again, and there will be an awakening to the heartbeat of the Father!”
Command pillars of unrighteousness rooted in the Plains States to topple!
Ask the Lord to rebuild pillars of righteousness, beginning in these states, which will affect the entire nation.
Say, “Righteousness exalts a nation!” (Proverbs 14:34a)
Call forth the destiny of the First Nations peoples of the Dakotas. Much work of repentance and forgiveness between caucasians and Native Americans has taken place over the last five years in this area, leading up to this next five years. Let the fruit of reconciliation now be seen in the earth!
Decree Proverbs 2: 6-9 over the Plains States. This is their destiny and their gift to the United States of America.
A prayer you can pray:
Plains States, “You will cause the heartbeat of the Father to beat again, and there will be an awakening to the heartbeat of the Father!” Father, we call forth that intimacy with You that the Church of the Plains States know so well. You have been building this in them and they have been leading the way in this for many years. They have understood 24/7 worship and intercession. They have revelation on the heartbeat of the Father. They have practiced loving one another. Caucasian and Native American Christians have purposefully repented to one another, forgiven one another, washed each others’ feet, and honored one another. This work of reconciliation has opened the door for justice to flow like a river in this land. Let it come from the Dakotas in accordance with Your Word. Righteousness exalts a nation! Righteousness opens the pathways of justice. You, Lord, give wisdom. From Your mouth comes knowledge and understanding. You store up sound wisdom for the upright. You are a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of Your saints. The nation will understand righteousness and justice and equity, indeed, every good path, as it is revealed by Your Spirit through the Plains States. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Today’s decree:
The Father’s heart of love will be awakened from the Plains States that will have effect across the nation! Righteousness exalts a nation!

Letter From Home(2019/6/10): God is Using Chinese to Build His Family
The “Homecoming” gathering in Austin, Texas is a major breakthrough for Chinese in North America. It is the result of a series of hitting the ground with the arrows in the prophet’s chamber (see 2 Kings 13:18-19). In the past, when we immigrated from overseas, we were seeking for a better life and for our children to receive better education, one day, we will return home, back to our root. But later, we came to know the Lord and our spirit grew mature, we became more aware that God brought us here from overseas perhaps for His own calling. Just like Abraham, Joseph, Moses and Daniel, God wants to use Chinese in this generation to bring nations back to the Father’s home, including the United States. This is God’s election, the destiny of overseas Chinese for today…
In addition, we used to think that taking care of our church is busy enough, how can we have any extra time to do bigger things in the Kingdom of God? So we only focus on establishing our own churches and ministries. But gradually some people began to realize that church can grow big, ministries may expand, yet we can only come to the end of our human endeavor and there is still a holy dissatisfaction. At the same time God has been waiting for us. God has a big plan but He does not want to do it Himself, nor does He want the angels to do it, He is waiting for us, God may be disappointed at times but He never gives up. He has been looking for a group of willing people to do a Kingdom experiment. God has been waiting, until even now…
What God wants is not just unity, He desires oneness – with God and with man, as the Lord said, that they may be one as we are one (John 17:22). This is the heart of the Father and the same heart of the Lord. I have been a believer for 49 years and a pastor for 38, but I didn’t quite get it till now! To become one Is supernatural, is it possible? But what is impossible for man is possible for God, as long as we are willing. However, that is exactly where the difficulty lies – God gives people free will, hard soil needs to be ploughed and rocks removed before the godly seeds of the Kingdom be planted in order to experience the joy of the harvest. God has been waiting and the whole creation is groaning for a long time for us to be willing to lay down our own agenda and to build Him a family. And God happens to be using Chinese at this moment. Why? Because we don’t know how, we are weak, and we do not have much profound theology. However, God is looking for those who do not want to stay in the cultural and theological framework of man, who want to come out of it and be willing to move from the tradition, denomination and religion lane to enter the lane of the Kingdom of God and to connect with like-minded remnants of God who have the same spirit, regardless of red, yellow, black, white, and brown, to change from being orphans to sons and daughters, and then to become true fathers and mothers, to align with God, to build a family for the Father, to love the orphans into sons and daughters, so we no longer need to be jealous of each other and no need to compete to build the tower of Babel and ended up with 43,000 denominations today! But to have the heart of the Father and the vision of Jesus, to look for the remnant with the same mind, to become one with God and with one another! Let us offer up our willing hearts together, although we are not perfect, yet our hearts are pure. Holy Spirit, do a deep work in us…. As I ponder on this, I wept, and I rejoice with the Father’s delight! The Jericho wall has come down, not by a few famous priests, prophets, elders, pastors, but by a group of nameless people who obeyed God with one heart… I am excited, and glad to be alive today!
Close to 800 people attended the Austin overseas Chinese “Homecoming” gathering, yet among them 200 were non-Chinese. Most of them came because of the testimony of IHOPKC Homecoming “Convergence” last September. Chuck Pierce couldn’t come but sent a 17-minute short film. He said, this “Homecoming” is the most impactful movement in the history of the church for the past decade. “Homecoming” (1) brings about reconciliation between ethnic groups, and (2) helps the church to become aware of the importance of fathers and mothers. Finally, he mentioned China: (1) Politically: China will become the greatest influencing nation by 2020. The war of the world would be around the Chinese economy. Through 2026 China becomes imperialism by occupying nation after nation through using their wealth. (2) The church: without Homecoming sweeping, and mobilizing the Chinese people through America, we won’t see this Kingdom unlocking occur. He said, I want to encourage you that this is the key defining moment when God’s Kingdom in Chinese people must be unlocked. You are in the Kingdom movement, so don’t get down into a place where you are trying to deal with church but move from this Kingdom movement of mobilizing God’s Kingdom into Chinese people and with that, affect many other cultures, including America. ”
Chuck Pierce said that this movement coming out of Austin will be one of the most affecting movements over these next 3 years here in America and it will begin to have great access in San Francisco, in New York, and will begin to move down through Chicago. Homecoming will begin to unlock the move of God. Through Homecoming it will begin to unlock a movement of Kingdom, not just in the Chinese but here in America. The Kingdom of God is being revealed through the Chinese people, and the church of the Chinese people is now unlocking a Kingdom expression that’s never been seen before, and its influence is not only among the Chinese, but also affects the United States. This Austin meeting has a prophetic Kingdom significance, the power of God is going to be activated and advance you forward in an accelerated rate…
What Chuck Pierce said was very similar to what Bob Jones and Anton Cruz shared.
(1) Bob Jones once said that God would change our perception of the church in one
generation. Last September at the IHOPKC “Homecoming” Mike Bickle said that today is that generation. (2) Bob Jones also said that in 2030 we will see the church become home.
In fact, this is already happening, we all witness it with our own eyes. (3) Anton Cruz also went to Austin this time, he said that God told him two very clear things: (i) First, God is raising and using Chinese (He stressed that it is all Chinese – China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and overseas.) (ii) God is raising up father and mother to build His family. He went to Austin this time to confirm on these two things from God.
God is using Chinese to build His family (III)
In fact, in the past ten years we have seen God revealing His heart through “Homecoming” – the Kingdom of God is a family. Homecoming has affected more than 30 nations. We have witnessed this and have played an important part in it. We have gradually being convinced that, indeed, there are assignments for the overseas Chinese. God brought us from overseas to this nation, not only for our children’s education and future, but God’s plan is for us to bring the nation back to the Father’s home. This is what God has entrusted the Chinese today, and our next generation will also play a part. The Chinese quintuplets – China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and overseas, of which overseas is the last to be birthed, but we believe that it is born. In the “Homecoming” movement today, many young people from everywhere have begun to participate, and are influencing other young people in various countries. Now our ABC (American Born Chinese) has a late start, but I believe that when the parents are secured in their identity and the calling of God, the children will also rise up, no longer feeling inferior and insecure, but will be excited for their destiny as Chinese, and will boldly stand together with the young people everywhere in one heart, for God’s Kingdom and family.
What comforts me the most is that we have been on the right path in the past ten years. There is great price to pay to walk together this family journey. In the first few years, David Demian often asked me, “Fred, do you have money? Does your church allow you to do this?” But it is a joyful thing to walk in the will of God. The Kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Thank You, Lord, for helping us to have a far sight and a big heart to shift from “church lane” to “Church/Kingdom lane” and to “Kingdom/Church lane”. As we make the shift, God is already using us to influence this generation, including America. God is very pleased with great contributions made by small soldiers. And when we first seek the Kingdom of God, we are convinced that God will watch over our church. My encouragement to you is, start putting money aside, save up vacations, take the opportunity to go out and participate in “Homecoming”, then your vision and heart will be broadened. When you care about God’s business, God will care about yours. From now on, be a true son, a true daughter, a father, a mother, to receive love, to give love. Get out of your own lonely island, connect with others, and truly live out the heart of God in John 17. Love the older generation, love also the younger, build the family of God and bring this family to Chinese and non-Chinese, and even to the first nations of America who have been so oppressed and crushed in the past…
Today, when the Chinese finally understand God’s heart and are willing to lay down ourselves to build a family for God, we do not forget the sacrifices of the forefathers and mothers of the Westerners, laid down their lives for centuries and brought the precious Gospel to China, so we are blessed to have a part in God’s family, and even now grow and become mature to be entrusted by God to take up family responsibilities. As we express our gratitude we do not look down at ourselves any more, and neither will we look too highly. We say we will fight alongside with the non-Chinese, fly in the formation of the Canadian geese, seeking the delight of Abba Father, running together to the end to receive rewards before the throne of God… Ah, the joy of maturing!!

It is the Moment for God to Release His Command
Lately, the Lord has inspired us with Psalm 110 and 46, both psalms mention God rises at dawn:
-
- Psalm 110:3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb
- Psalm 46:5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day
The scriptures do not directly mention the night, but we know unless we go through the long night, we will not be able to wait for “the dawn,” or see “the morning dew”.
But the Lord tells us that the night is not horrible, because He is still in control and still working; in the darkness, He is stirring the heart that is crying out for God and enjoy the morning dew: a group of people clothes with holiness, willingly sacrifice themselves. He is the captain of the Lord’s army, train up our character and faith in the darkness, gather us, lead us, to become an army, prepare to be revealed at the break of day.
Undoubtedly, this is a timely verse, because our city is in a suffocating night, and everyone is shouting: “When? When can we get out of this dark situation? When will God’s justice be revealed?”
If we overlook the meaning of “the darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people”, we will miss the opportunity to be tested and tried by the night to become His mighty warrior. This is the dark season, but it is also the moment for the Lord to send forth His command, His words and promises are our bright lights in the darkness. It is time for us to respond and say, “Lord, speak, Your servant is listening!”
From the history of Israel, we have learned that the darkest era is also the time when the prophet rebuked, comforted, edified, and exhorted the people the most. For Hong Kong, June is a heavy month, but God wants to encourage us through His servants and prophets: in July, there will be a Chinese Homecoming Gathering, in August a “sacred abandonment” special meeting, and at the end of September, a conference with Derek Schneider and Dean Briggs; plus the June-August youth event and children’s show, both received Noah’s ark as the theme; I believe these are not coincidences, These are telling us that God is determined to save and build up this city. Although, the intensity and spiritual significance of these series of gatherings is astounding and overwhelming, but we believe that God will send forth His command to the people in the darkness and prepare His morning dew, and we will receive it!
Everything is ready to go, for the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. You can choose to be entangled in the night; or to wait in the darkness, listening to the Lord, ready to go, until dawn, marching out following the Lord of Hosts? Not much time is left to be called by the Lord, the day is breaking!
Bless you,

Letter From Home: God is using Chinese to build His family
The “Homecoming” gathering in Austin, Texas is a major breakthrough for Chinese in North America. It is the result of a series of hitting the ground with the arrows in the prophet’s chamber (see 2 Kings 13:18-19). In the past, when we immigrated from overseas, we were seeking for a better life and for our children to receive better education, one day, we will return home, back to our root. But later, we came to know the Lord and our spirit grew mature, we became more aware that God brought us here from overseas perhaps for His own calling. Just like Abraham, Joseph, Moses and Daniel, God wants to use Chinese in this generation to bring nations back to the Father’s home, including the United States. This is God’s election, the destiny of overseas Chinese for today… … detailed reading

- Philippians 4:7 ‘And the power of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’
- Isaiah 40:23 ‘Who brings Princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.’
- Leviticus 26:28 ’Then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.’
【Update: North Korea State Media (KCNA) reportedly warning US risks undoing the progress made in diplomatic relations between the two nations if it does not ‘withdraw its hostile policy’ toward Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
- Reuters: The ‘Four-Point’ historical peace agreement signed on June 12, 2018 in Singapore would be worthless, because US is ‘not doing the implementation’ (believed it’s the desirable release of sanction) (Phil. 4:7)
- KCNA: ‘The arrogant and unilateral US policy will never work on DPRK, which values sovereignty.’ (Isa. 40:23)
- Release of Sanctions (is subject to complete denuclearization)
The second Trump-Kim summit in Vietnam ended without success earlier this year, is due to friction over US demands for denuclearization, and N.K. calls for the reduction of sanctions. (Lev. 26:28)
Singapore Summit Agreement (signed on June 12, 2018) concluded:The new U.S.-DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, and recognizing that mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
The ‘Four-Point’ Peace agreement
- The US and DPRK commit to establish new US-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
- The U.S. and DPRK will joint efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
- Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
- The US. and DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains (1950-53 Korean War), including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.
Both President Trump and Chairman Kim committed to implement the stipulations in above joint statement fully and expeditiously. Both leaders committed to hold many follow-up negotiations, led by the US Secretary of State, at the earliest possible date, to implement outcomes of the US-DPRK summit.
KCNA Comments
It’s unclear the comments from N.K. State media that: ‘US is not acting on the implementation’, regarding US in the Four-Point peace agreement.
South Korea (S.K.) President Moon Jae-in said Monday, talks between N.K. and S.K., as well as negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington are likely to pick up soon. A third Trump-Kim meeting is under discussions which doesn’t need a third country’s arrangement.
Future Meeting
President Trump recently expressed confidence for coming meeting with Kim despite the collapse of the Vietnam summit and may imply not to repeat the last scenario. 】

【Event:2020 Presidential Election Campaign trails began kicking in with a crowded 20+ Democratic candidates, making it the busiest ever.
Political Changers
There are various critical ideologies pushing along by the political-changer-wanna-be’s aggressively, they are but not limited to: Progressive agendas, Socialism, Far-left or Far-right Ideology, Communism, New Green deals, Liberalism, misc. (1 John 2:16)
Who and why to elect is the electability the voters wanted, their needs and points of view are diverse. With that in mind, ages of voters indicated potential preferences of their votes.
Since the political landscape has culturally shifted since the Obama Administration. Its result impacted the 2016 Election that no one was ready for, especially the Democratic Party, even the world with the shocking victory of President Trump.
The realistic look at the age of voters may shed some light to the 2020 Election. Primary votes weighed on Millennials and Baby Boomers because they are the majority voters.
The Millennials We Know Today
10 years ago when millennials were young voters, even then the oldest of the generation were in their 20s, many were primed to vote in their first presidential election. They showed great enthusiasm in being able to vote for America’s first black president. They wanted to be part of history.
Obama did a great job exploiting that enthusiasm. He was the only Democrat to win a majority of votes from white America under the age of 25 in the 21st century, and he inspired minority voter turnout that never seen since.
After the first 4 years, these numbers fell at his second election. (1 John 5:19)
Today, these millennials aren’t as young as they used to be, and a changing world has influenced their positions. The majority of millennials are now in their 30s, and their political orientation is doing what you might expect.
These millennials voters graduated college and entered the workforce. They struggled in ways Americans haven’t struggled for close to a hundred years. Jobs were sparse, pay was worse. And, even while the country worked hard to suppress any dissent towards Obama, the millennials were clearly discouraged. By the end of Obama’s presidency, 58% of millennials disapproved of his job in the White House. That’s a huge turnaround from the record voter he achieved in his first election. At the end, the millennials were disappointed in their choice of president. One of the change is for them to switch to the Republican Party. As of 2016, 48% of white millennials were registered Republicans, while 43% were registered as Democrats. This shift wasn’t limited to racial lines. Among minority groups, Republican registration doubled even before the 2016 election took place. (1 Cor. 13:6)
Simply put, Obama’s failed administration pushed a large number of people towards conservatism. The younger voters turned away from the Democratic Party, and the mistakes made by millennials were observed and avoided by generation Z. (2 Tim 2:22)
The millennials who were told by the Obama administration that the economic stagnation was the new normal, but now finally are able to chase quality careers through Trump’s economy.
Today, millennials are able to purchase cars and houses, hope to starting families that were delayed by the recession. These are all common life activities that tend to push people in the conservative direction.
Meanwhile, generation Z is just beginning to enter job market, and their prospects are the exact opposite of what millennials experienced at first. That’s why the generation Z is the most conservative generation in so long.
Liberalism is powerless
The liberal narrative is not as powerful as it sounds. People have begun to notice. There are now more conservative millennials than liberals. It’s a huge trend shift and show Americans won’t have beliefs dictated to them by a powerful narrative. Instead, they notice the course of their own lives and make their own decisions.
Beware the New Green Deal Narratives
None of these is a call for complacency. Despite the shifting conservatism of millennials, they’re still less conservative than the generations before them. Most of this stems from social issues and the climate-change narrative. That means that a liberal leader could steal those votes back with the right charisma and platform.
Say and Do the Right Thing vs. Socialism and Insanity
But, this also means that millennials aren’t a lost cause. If Republicans can focus on effective policy, they’ll continue to win the millennial votes and the support of subsequent generations.
Despite ambitious persuasions raising socialistic narratives and insanity in the country, these are only vocal minority. As long as good people continue to speak up, the silent majority will feel more confident in following their conscience to do what is right. (2 Cor. 3:10) 】

Pray for Israel: Intercede for LGBTQ Parades Held In Israel During the Gay Pride Month
【Current Event: The official estimated about 15-30,000 people participated in the LGBTQ Pride parade in Jerusalem on June 6. It is the first of several such parades scheduled to be held in cities around Israel in the month of June. The parade occurred just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the appointment of Amir Ohana as Justice Minister, making a point of mentioning that he would be the first openly homosexual senior cabinet member in Israeli history.
About the LGBT movement in Israel
This is not the first gay parade in Jerusalem. The first gay parade in Jerusalem was held in 2002. In addition to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is the LGBTQ center of Israel and it is also considered the LGBTQ center of the world. Under fervent promotion by the international media and the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, 250,000 participated in LGBTQ Pride Parade in 2018, of which about 30,000 were from all over the world. Tel Aviv was also selected as the best honeymoon location for gay marriage. According to the polls, more than 70% of Israelis support gay marriage.
Forces behind the movement
· Ministry of Tourism of Israel: The Ministry of Tourism has promoted gay tourism since 2016, advocating Tel Aviv as a tourist destination for gay, bisexual and transgender, particularly in European countries such as the UK and Italy.
· Tel Aviv City Council: The Tel Aviv City Government invested millions of dollars last year to fund gay, bisexual and transgender groups in the city. Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai publicly declared: “Tel Aviv, which has already been acknowledged as the world’s ‘most gay-friendly city’ will continue to be a light-house city – spreading the values of freedom, tolerance and democracy to the world.”】(Source: ICEJ Chinese Affairs Department – Jerusalem International Christian Embassy)
We once again call on the global intercessors to rise and pray for the increasing proliferation of Israeli LGBTQ movements.】

Pray for Hong Kong – Millions of Hong Kong people protest against the amendment to the “Extradition Bill”
【Current Affairs : Millions of Hong Kong people rushed to the streets on June 9 requesting the Hong Kong Government to withdraw the “Extradition Bill” for suspects to be sent to China. After much negotiation, The Hong Kong government chiefs finally announced the suspension. Yet, the protesters continue to go to the street, wearing black T-shirt to protest.
The incident stemmed from a Hong Kong man who fled Hong Kong after killing his girlfriend in Taiwan in February 2018. According to territorialism, Taiwan has jurisdiction, but Hong Kong and Taiwan have no criminal mutual legal assistance, making the Hong Kong side unable to prosecute the murder charges.
Motivation Regulations
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam asked for amendments to the fugitive offenders ordinance for the loopholes in public security and to avoid becoming a hiding place for criminals. However, millions of people in Hong Kong are questioning the true motive is to please Beijing and facilitate Beijing to arrest dissidents people in Hong Kong and send them to China.
The Concerns of millions of Hong Kong People
The proposed law would allow Hong Kong to extradite fugitives to territories where it doesn’t have formal extradition deals — including Taiwan and mainland China.Critics believe the bill would leave anyone on Hong Kong soil vulnerable to being grabbed by Chinese authorities. But supporters said it will prevent the city from becoming a haven for mainland fugitives. the law will no longer guarantee the freedom of Hong Kong but will become a tool for Beijing to undermine the rule of law in Hong Kong.
The Destiny of Hong Kong
Chuck Pierce prophesied in Hong Kong last year: “proclaiming that Hong Kong is God’s. gateway to the next movement in Asia, a new movement is starting up and forming rapidly among the Chinese. Hong Kong’s role as a “gateway” is irreplaceable, it is the gateway to open and release breakthrough for Asia. (For more reading, please click here )

Pray for Sudan – For the Peaceful Transition of the Regime
【Background : The Sudanese demonstrators continue to demand that their military government hand over power to the civilian government. A series of bloody suppression from June 3-9 have caused more than 100 deaths among the demonstrators, more than 500 injured and triggered major strikes in the nation.
On the first day of the strike on the 9th, the capital Khartoum was like an empty city. The shops and offices were closed. The airport staff and pilots at the international airport all participated in the strike. The entire airport was empty and the traffic in the land and the air traffic was nearly shut down.
Sudan Professional Association
The Sudanese Professional Association (SPA), the main protest group in Sudan, launched a national “Civil Disobedience” campaign on the 6th, demanding the resignation of the ruling military committee and stating that only when the civilian government can announces on the state-run television station that it has taken control, will the strike end.
Since the end of last year, the SPA has taken the lead in launching a protest against the 30-year dictator Bashir, opposing the rise in fuel prices. Later, protests broke out in various parts of Sudan, which turned to the request of then-President Bashir to step down. On April 11 this year, Bashir was under house arrest by the military. The Sudanese Defense Minister announced that he would start a three-month state of emergency. The protesters demanded that the civilian government preside over the transitional government, but the military government that took over the power began bloody oppression over the quiet protestors.
United Nations announcement
The United Nations strongly condemns the violence in Sudan and expressed grieves over the civilian casualties. It also reminds the Sudanese military transition authorities of their obligation to protect civilians and respect their basic human rights, including the right to freedom of assembly and expression. The UN statement will launch an investigation to bring perpetrators that killed innocent people to justice and support the establishment of a transitional government with civilian authorities. 】

Pray for Latvia – 40 Weeks of Prayer for the Revival and Transformation of Europe
【Background :Latvia has been oppressed by many nations, yet, still maintaining her own national culture and language. Latvia is blessed in many ways, like good cooperation between different churches, and the fact that traditional Christian values are still relevant for many people. But also, we face challenges, like broken families, alcoholism, corrupt government whom the nation doesn’t trust.
Ethnic and language
Latvia, historically has been ruled by many nations, almost to extinction several times, and yet they refused to submit to power; Latvia and Lithuanian languages are the only remaining ancient languages in the Baltic region, and traditional mother tongues and music was their national identity. During the World War, Latvia was occupied and slaughtered by the Soviet Union and was expelled by German immigrants from the Baltic Sea. Latvia is currently the third poorest country in the European Union. About 30,000 people a year leave the country to seek job opportunities, Most of them are young and well-educated, resulting in serious loss of talents from the country especially the capital city.
Religious condition
Latvia is the last country being evangelized in Europe, Although the influence of the Finnish pagan and Baltic myths still exist but is gradually decreasing. According to the 2015 EU survey, among 76.7% of Christians, 26.2% are Catholics, 24% are Orthodox, 16.6% are Protestants, and 9.9% are other Christians. The atheist national policy of the Soviet era and the secularization of Europe caused the sharp decline of Latvian Christian faith and now only about 7% regularly attend church services.
The Constitution prohibits same-sex marriage
Since the middle of the 20th century, European countries have successively guaranteed LGBT rights. Among the current EU member states, six countries including Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Latvia do not recognize same-sex marriage. The Latvian Constitution prohibits the recognition of same-sex marriage, whether in partnership or marriage. However, in 2018, Latvia recognized the European Union’s same-sex marriage only for the right to residency. Although the government agreed to cooperate with the European gay parade, but the Latvian government did not welcome the event.
Abortion and sexual exploitation
Latvia legalized abortion in 1992, under the rule of Russian government, Pregnant women can apply for abortions in 12-22 weeks. At the same time, human trafficking and sexual slavery (especially among the children), and labor exploitation, caused the government to crack down on crime, granting funds, to protect victims, help them recover quickly, and block foreign tourists from coming to the country for sexual purposes.

We firmly believe that if some of the First Nation leaders will begin this journey together, God will vindicate them, turnaround the unjust treatment they have encountered, to heal and restore them, so they can lead the people to walk in unity and bring about the revival of the whole land.
For the First Nation people, this will be a historical event, and we look forward to seeing a united First Nation family stepping into the destiny!】 (Source: Joe Donnell, Pastor Fred Hsu and Mrs. Molica Hsu)

The Plains States – Awakening the Father’s Heart in the Land
by Rebecca Greenwood’s Word for America – Part 5 of 9
I then saw Him move into the center of the U.S. and He spoke to the Plains States, “You will cause the heartbeat of the Father to beat again, and there will be an awakening to the heartbeat of the Father. A recognition of the Father’s heart of love will be awakened from the Plains States that will have effect across the nation.”
I could see the pillars of unrighteousness that have held that area in the heartland, but I could also see new strategies being birthed and implemented in order to see those pillars of unrighteousness toppled.
There is a stirring in the Dakotas which will surprise many. There is an awakening that is coming to the First Nations people in the Dakotas, a revival awakening move of the Father’s heart that will begin to beat again.
“The Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path.” (Proverbs 2:6-9; ESV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
Declare over the Plains States, “You will cause the heartbeat of the Father to beat again, and there will be an awakening to the heartbeat of the Father!”
Command pillars of unrighteousness rooted in the Plains States to topple!
Ask the Lord to rebuild pillars of righteousness, beginning in these states, which will affect the entire nation.
Say, “Righteousness exalts a nation!” (Proverbs 14:34a)
Call forth the destiny of the First Nations peoples of the Dakotas. Much work of repentance and forgiveness between caucasians and Native Americans has taken place over the last five years in this area, leading up to this next five years. Let the fruit of reconciliation now be seen in the earth!
Decree Proverbs 2: 6-9 over the Plains States. This is their destiny and their gift to the United States of America.
A prayer you can pray:
Plains States, “You will cause the heartbeat of the Father to beat again, and there will be an awakening to the heartbeat of the Father!” Father, we call forth that intimacy with You that the Church of the Plains States know so well. You have been building this in them and they have been leading the way in this for many years. They have understood 24/7 worship and intercession. They have revelation on the heartbeat of the Father. They have practiced loving one another. Caucasian and Native American Christians have purposefully repented to one another, forgiven one another, washed each others’ feet, and honored one another. This work of reconciliation has opened the door for justice to flow like a river in this land. Let it come from the Dakotas in accordance with Your Word. Righteousness exalts a nation! Righteousness opens the pathways of justice. You, Lord, give wisdom. From Your mouth comes knowledge and understanding. You store up sound wisdom for the upright. You are a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of Your saints. The nation will understand righteousness and justice and equity, indeed, every good path, as it is revealed by Your Spirit through the Plains States. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Today’s decree:
The Father’s heart of love will be awakened from the Plains States that will have effect across the nation! Righteousness exalts a nation!

Letter From Home(2019/6/10): God is Using Chinese to Build His Family
The “Homecoming” gathering in Austin, Texas is a major breakthrough for Chinese in North America. It is the result of a series of hitting the ground with the arrows in the prophet’s chamber (see 2 Kings 13:18-19). In the past, when we immigrated from overseas, we were seeking for a better life and for our children to receive better education, one day, we will return home, back to our root. But later, we came to know the Lord and our spirit grew mature, we became more aware that God brought us here from overseas perhaps for His own calling. Just like Abraham, Joseph, Moses and Daniel, God wants to use Chinese in this generation to bring nations back to the Father’s home, including the United States. This is God’s election, the destiny of overseas Chinese for today…
In addition, we used to think that taking care of our church is busy enough, how can we have any extra time to do bigger things in the Kingdom of God? So we only focus on establishing our own churches and ministries. But gradually some people began to realize that church can grow big, ministries may expand, yet we can only come to the end of our human endeavor and there is still a holy dissatisfaction. At the same time God has been waiting for us. God has a big plan but He does not want to do it Himself, nor does He want the angels to do it, He is waiting for us, God may be disappointed at times but He never gives up. He has been looking for a group of willing people to do a Kingdom experiment. God has been waiting, until even now…
What God wants is not just unity, He desires oneness – with God and with man, as the Lord said, that they may be one as we are one (John 17:22). This is the heart of the Father and the same heart of the Lord. I have been a believer for 49 years and a pastor for 38, but I didn’t quite get it till now! To become one Is supernatural, is it possible? But what is impossible for man is possible for God, as long as we are willing. However, that is exactly where the difficulty lies – God gives people free will, hard soil needs to be ploughed and rocks removed before the godly seeds of the Kingdom be planted in order to experience the joy of the harvest. God has been waiting and the whole creation is groaning for a long time for us to be willing to lay down our own agenda and to build Him a family. And God happens to be using Chinese at this moment. Why? Because we don’t know how, we are weak, and we do not have much profound theology. However, God is looking for those who do not want to stay in the cultural and theological framework of man, who want to come out of it and be willing to move from the tradition, denomination and religion lane to enter the lane of the Kingdom of God and to connect with like-minded remnants of God who have the same spirit, regardless of red, yellow, black, white, and brown, to change from being orphans to sons and daughters, and then to become true fathers and mothers, to align with God, to build a family for the Father, to love the orphans into sons and daughters, so we no longer need to be jealous of each other and no need to compete to build the tower of Babel and ended up with 43,000 denominations today! But to have the heart of the Father and the vision of Jesus, to look for the remnant with the same mind, to become one with God and with one another! Let us offer up our willing hearts together, although we are not perfect, yet our hearts are pure. Holy Spirit, do a deep work in us…. As I ponder on this, I wept, and I rejoice with the Father’s delight! The Jericho wall has come down, not by a few famous priests, prophets, elders, pastors, but by a group of nameless people who obeyed God with one heart… I am excited, and glad to be alive today!
Close to 800 people attended the Austin overseas Chinese “Homecoming” gathering, yet among them 200 were non-Chinese. Most of them came because of the testimony of IHOPKC Homecoming “Convergence” last September. Chuck Pierce couldn’t come but sent a 17-minute short film. He said, this “Homecoming” is the most impactful movement in the history of the church for the past decade. “Homecoming” (1) brings about reconciliation between ethnic groups, and (2) helps the church to become aware of the importance of fathers and mothers. Finally, he mentioned China: (1) Politically: China will become the greatest influencing nation by 2020. The war of the world would be around the Chinese economy. Through 2026 China becomes imperialism by occupying nation after nation through using their wealth. (2) The church: without Homecoming sweeping, and mobilizing the Chinese people through America, we won’t see this Kingdom unlocking occur. He said, I want to encourage you that this is the key defining moment when God’s Kingdom in Chinese people must be unlocked. You are in the Kingdom movement, so don’t get down into a place where you are trying to deal with church but move from this Kingdom movement of mobilizing God’s Kingdom into Chinese people and with that, affect many other cultures, including America. ”
Chuck Pierce said that this movement coming out of Austin will be one of the most affecting movements over these next 3 years here in America and it will begin to have great access in San Francisco, in New York, and will begin to move down through Chicago. Homecoming will begin to unlock the move of God. Through Homecoming it will begin to unlock a movement of Kingdom, not just in the Chinese but here in America. The Kingdom of God is being revealed through the Chinese people, and the church of the Chinese people is now unlocking a Kingdom expression that’s never been seen before, and its influence is not only among the Chinese, but also affects the United States. This Austin meeting has a prophetic Kingdom significance, the power of God is going to be activated and advance you forward in an accelerated rate…
What Chuck Pierce said was very similar to what Bob Jones and Anton Cruz shared.
(1) Bob Jones once said that God would change our perception of the church in one
generation. Last September at the IHOPKC “Homecoming” Mike Bickle said that today is that generation. (2) Bob Jones also said that in 2030 we will see the church become home.
In fact, this is already happening, we all witness it with our own eyes. (3) Anton Cruz also went to Austin this time, he said that God told him two very clear things: (i) First, God is raising and using Chinese (He stressed that it is all Chinese – China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and overseas.) (ii) God is raising up father and mother to build His family. He went to Austin this time to confirm on these two things from God.
God is using Chinese to build His family (III)
In fact, in the past ten years we have seen God revealing His heart through “Homecoming” – the Kingdom of God is a family. Homecoming has affected more than 30 nations. We have witnessed this and have played an important part in it. We have gradually being convinced that, indeed, there are assignments for the overseas Chinese. God brought us from overseas to this nation, not only for our children’s education and future, but God’s plan is for us to bring the nation back to the Father’s home. This is what God has entrusted the Chinese today, and our next generation will also play a part. The Chinese quintuplets – China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and overseas, of which overseas is the last to be birthed, but we believe that it is born. In the “Homecoming” movement today, many young people from everywhere have begun to participate, and are influencing other young people in various countries. Now our ABC (American Born Chinese) has a late start, but I believe that when the parents are secured in their identity and the calling of God, the children will also rise up, no longer feeling inferior and insecure, but will be excited for their destiny as Chinese, and will boldly stand together with the young people everywhere in one heart, for God’s Kingdom and family.
What comforts me the most is that we have been on the right path in the past ten years. There is great price to pay to walk together this family journey. In the first few years, David Demian often asked me, “Fred, do you have money? Does your church allow you to do this?” But it is a joyful thing to walk in the will of God. The Kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Thank You, Lord, for helping us to have a far sight and a big heart to shift from “church lane” to “Church/Kingdom lane” and to “Kingdom/Church lane”. As we make the shift, God is already using us to influence this generation, including America. God is very pleased with great contributions made by small soldiers. And when we first seek the Kingdom of God, we are convinced that God will watch over our church. My encouragement to you is, start putting money aside, save up vacations, take the opportunity to go out and participate in “Homecoming”, then your vision and heart will be broadened. When you care about God’s business, God will care about yours. From now on, be a true son, a true daughter, a father, a mother, to receive love, to give love. Get out of your own lonely island, connect with others, and truly live out the heart of God in John 17. Love the older generation, love also the younger, build the family of God and bring this family to Chinese and non-Chinese, and even to the first nations of America who have been so oppressed and crushed in the past…
Today, when the Chinese finally understand God’s heart and are willing to lay down ourselves to build a family for God, we do not forget the sacrifices of the forefathers and mothers of the Westerners, laid down their lives for centuries and brought the precious Gospel to China, so we are blessed to have a part in God’s family, and even now grow and become mature to be entrusted by God to take up family responsibilities. As we express our gratitude we do not look down at ourselves any more, and neither will we look too highly. We say we will fight alongside with the non-Chinese, fly in the formation of the Canadian geese, seeking the delight of Abba Father, running together to the end to receive rewards before the throne of God… Ah, the joy of maturing!!

It is the Moment for God to Release His Command
Lately, the Lord has inspired us with Psalm 110 and 46, both psalms mention God rises at dawn:
-
- Psalm 110:3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb
- Psalm 46:5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day
The scriptures do not directly mention the night, but we know unless we go through the long night, we will not be able to wait for “the dawn,” or see “the morning dew”.
But the Lord tells us that the night is not horrible, because He is still in control and still working; in the darkness, He is stirring the heart that is crying out for God and enjoy the morning dew: a group of people clothes with holiness, willingly sacrifice themselves. He is the captain of the Lord’s army, train up our character and faith in the darkness, gather us, lead us, to become an army, prepare to be revealed at the break of day.
Undoubtedly, this is a timely verse, because our city is in a suffocating night, and everyone is shouting: “When? When can we get out of this dark situation? When will God’s justice be revealed?”
If we overlook the meaning of “the darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people”, we will miss the opportunity to be tested and tried by the night to become His mighty warrior. This is the dark season, but it is also the moment for the Lord to send forth His command, His words and promises are our bright lights in the darkness. It is time for us to respond and say, “Lord, speak, Your servant is listening!”
From the history of Israel, we have learned that the darkest era is also the time when the prophet rebuked, comforted, edified, and exhorted the people the most. For Hong Kong, June is a heavy month, but God wants to encourage us through His servants and prophets: in July, there will be a Chinese Homecoming Gathering, in August a “sacred abandonment” special meeting, and at the end of September, a conference with Derek Schneider and Dean Briggs; plus the June-August youth event and children’s show, both received Noah’s ark as the theme; I believe these are not coincidences, These are telling us that God is determined to save and build up this city. Although, the intensity and spiritual significance of these series of gatherings is astounding and overwhelming, but we believe that God will send forth His command to the people in the darkness and prepare His morning dew, and we will receive it!
Everything is ready to go, for the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. You can choose to be entangled in the night; or to wait in the darkness, listening to the Lord, ready to go, until dawn, marching out following the Lord of Hosts? Not much time is left to be called by the Lord, the day is breaking!
Bless you,
