Editor’s Note: A Sacred Call for Kings and Priests

(Source: Global Watcherman Team)

Do you feel the mountains shaking? Do you feel the panic in the heart of man? The world begins shaking in the beginning of 2020, and the forces of darkness are being shaken. Is your heart shaken? Only faith built on truth will not be shaken. A divine calling has come:

Rick Ridings: We are experiencing great shakening

We are experiencing the birth pain, this process is intensifying! After the shaking, there will be a moment of peace, and then a more severe shaking … and the cycle continues.

1. We see that China Shenzhou is experiencing a great shaking. Through this shaking, God will shake its government;
2. The shaking in South Korea, when I ministered in South Korea in January, and the Holy Spirit said, “He will cause great shaking between South Korea and North Korea within three months.” Although it was not clear why then, it is already happening now. There is a gathering prepared for South Korea before April, not only for South Korea, but also for North Korea because God did not forget North Korea.
3. During a prayer meeting, A lightning was seen from the throne of God and went to Iran, shaking Iran ’s regime, and then we saw what is happening in Iran today: “The latest news: An Iranian vice president has been diagnosed as infected ( (Information: Sina News), Iran ’s former ambassador to the Vatican has died of  new Coronavirus (Information: CCTV News).

• Isa 28: 14-18  Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem. You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death, with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,  it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.” So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it  will never be stricken with panic. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled; your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it.

Next month is very critical for us to pray for China, Japan, and South Korea. These three Asian countries are connected to a certain degree. Bring the Gathering in March before God. Regardless of whether it will be held as scheduled or not, it is more important for us to be in unity with one another.

David Demain : The shaking is to raise up kingdoms that can not be shaken throughout the earth.

A scripture received for this time: ( Heb 12: 26-29 ) At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,  for our “God is a consuming fire.”

We must see that there are two dimensions :

One is earthly, and those that can be shaken on the earth are being shaken / removed. Why? The purpose is to manifest the unshakable kingdom; The other is heavenly. The kingdom of God is coming when His finger touches and shakes the world system, including the political and economic system, and the invisible dark power behind it. Lies will be shaken away, leaving truths that cannot be shaken. God absolutely does not allow the enemy to control us, you will find that God is ultimately in power. Through these vibrations, I realized that I could do nothing, but I have to lay down before God and ask for mercy. Amen!

Asher Intrater: Sitting with the Lord in heaven

Messianic leader Asher said: “For the next month,  pray for the election in Malaysia and Israel”

Now that heaven is open above us, we are going to ascend and sit with Jesus —And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus ( Ephesians 2: 6),

You will restore the effect of Your angels ascending and descending the ladder to heaven among us.

When we gather together, something happens, we enter the higher level of prayer in the spirit, and with the cloud of witnesses we become one group, we become another kind of cloud of witness to pray in the spirit! This is a mighty power, and all nations pray together in unity.

Together, we will form a spiritual government and with the courts of heaven, so that the kingdom of God can exert its influence.

We are united with the Lord to become one spirit, and we are united in unanimous declaration: Jesus is our King, proclaiming that Jesus ’kingship is firmly established, and His kingdom comes to power in Israel and Malaysia!

At this moment, we are sitting on the throne with the Lord, and we ask God to rule the nations! Announcing the names of  countries that will be ruled by the power of the throne of God!

Editor’s Note: Calling 40 Days Worldwide Jesus Fast – 3/1 to 4/9

Dear Global Intercessors,

In response to the sharing of Lou Engle, the Father of Prayer on February 27, we invite everyone to participate in this 40-day fast and pray for Jesus worldwide. May God lead everyone into a close journey with Jesus!

We are entering a movement for fasting on the whole earth. There will be an awakening rod. 2020 is a year of completion. With the “Jesus fast”, the scroll of the Jubilee will unfold. The restoration of all things will take place because of Chapter 2 of the book of Joel for the world, and “Jesus Fast” 

1. 40 days Jesus fast, from 3 / 1- 4 / 9, to truly hear the voice of the Lord Jesus (the vision received today)
2. It is 5 loaves and two fishes, which is, daily pray for 5 unbelievers by name every day.

“Our ability to fast, is by the grace of the spirit of Jesus. Everyone enters this fast with great expectations, to enter the heart of Jesus, into spreading the gospel, and harvests. We will see such grace in the next 10 years.”

• Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. ( Luke 4: 1 ~ 2 )
• Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside ( Luke 4:14 )
• Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. ( Israel 60: 1-3 )

Editor’s Note: Special Prophetic Release on the Coronavirus

Doug Addison 

February 28, 2020 

We have been under attack globally with the coronavirus. I have been waiting on the Lord and praying daily over this. On February 25, the Lord showed me the root of the attack and a prayer strategy to break it.

Why global? 

… When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59:19 NKJV

The global attack of the coronavirus is against the global outpouring that is coming to the Earth. Many of the prophets have been releasing prophetic words about a coming global move of God—revival. This is a direct attack against revival.

Understanding 3-cord attacks 

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV

There is power when we agree together in prayer! As Jesus said, if you agree together, it will be done. This is a biblical principle that Satan is using against us. He often uses things from the Bible and distorts or counterfeits it. We have been seeing 3-cord attacks of the enemy that have been more difficult to break—until you recognize them.

Once you recognize the 3-cord attack, you can bind and break its combined attack. If you try to break the individual demons, they will not usually go because they have a 3-cord agreement that requires a new strategy.

Jesus said, “… whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 18:18 NIV

3-cord attack against revival 

The coronavirus is a global attack against revival. The Lord showed me the source of the attack:

Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.

Isaiah 14:29 NIV

This 3-cord global attack (of the coronavirus) is against the global outpouring the Lord is bringing:

Snake: Deception

Viper: Religious Spirit (Jesus called the Pharisees a brood of vipers)

Venomous Serpent: Coronavirus

How to break it 

Here is the prayer strategy the Lord showed me so you can pray this in agreement. Since it is a global attack, it would be good to get as many people praying this as we can.

Prayer 

Lord, we bind the Snake of Deception, the Viper of the Religious Spirit and the Venomous Serpent of the Coronavirus. We break its global unholy alliance, the 3-cord attack to stop the global outpouring of revival.

Lord, we ask that You cast out the attack of the Snake of Deception, the Viper of the Religious Spirit and the Venomous Serpent of the Coronavirus.

We ask that You release a stop of the global epidemic. We ask for healing of those affected. We proclaim full authority over this virus and any associated attacks of illness and death.

And just as in Isaiah 14:29—the rod that struck you is broken—Satan has struck the Earth with the rod of the coronavirus. We ask, Lord, that You would break the rod of this attack and bring the global outpouring and revival.

We decree Psalm 91:7, A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

Declaration Prayer: Proclaiming for Chinese Revival and Destiny

【Background: The Chinese nation is now at a spiritual turning point. In this season, we are called to exercise our true identity and authority as kings and priests of the kingdom of God. When the large-scale epidemic “Coronavirus” broke out in Wuhan on January 21, it spreads at a very fast pace which causing loss of lives and many people were infected. Many cities in China are being isolated and public transportation is shutting down. Asia and the world are also under the shadow of the epidemic.

Over the past years, God has blessed and made China strong, and the Chinese churches have been connected and united together in the form of house church. But He has greater calling and mission for the Chinese body of Christ. He must elevate the height, depth, and purity of the Chinese church. Therefore, He has taken His children in China into an unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness, and showing us how little faith we have. It is a deep brokenness in a quiet way! For us to truly learn the lesson of only see Christ and no one else, in order to prepare us to enter a new level.

Now, we are entering this historical moment, the Chinese family is face to face with the fear of death, and the bride of Christ is having a face to face encounter with the end time  forces. The enemy knows its time is running out, so its ferocity is ever increasing. However, in the end the Son of God appears to destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3: 8) Chinese people around the world must rise to watch and pray, not only to overcome this plague battle, but also to enter into the same destiny given to the Chinese by God since the creation of the world, to spread the gospel to all nations all the way to Jerusalem, and to welcome the returning of the glorious King.

Pray for The U.S.A.: The Changing Views of ‘Same-Sex Marriage’ In Churches

• Leviticus 18:22  ‘Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.’ 
• Leviticus 20:13 ‘If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.’ 
• Matthew 19:4 ‘Haven’t you read the scriptures? Jesus replied. They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’’
• 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ‘don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people, none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.’

【Alert: 47 percent of mainline pastors say they back same-sex marriage, and see ‘Nothing wrong with two people of the same gender getting married.’  A sharp increase from 30% of 2010 in mainline pastors.

A recent poll of 1,000 conducted with a list of all Protestant senior pastors, ministers or priests by region and church size on views on ‘same-sex marriage’. It showed a high percentage of support from Presbyterian or Reformed (49%), Methodist (47%), Lutheran (35%) and Christian Church of Christ (20%), Baptist (3%) and Pentecostal (1%). (Lev. 20:13) 

Among evangelical pastors, only 8% support same-sex marriage, same percentage as 2010. ‘The change in pastors’ views of same-sex marriage has less to do with their denominational tradition than their view of the Bible.’ Said Scott McConnell of LifeWay Research. ‘An evangelical distinctive is the ultimate authority, the Bible has over one’s beliefs despite changing cultural perspectives. It’s not surprising that evangelical pastors across different denominations continue to view same-sex marriage as wrong through this lens.

More than four years after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states, culture has attributed the changing attitude among certain groups, especially mainline pastors. For the majority of pastors, performing same-sex marriage ceremonies have been more of a theoretical issue than a practical one for their ministry. (Lev. 18:22) 

Homosexuality is trying to affirm their existence and has been successful with broad agendas. Church leaders have wavered on the issue with two opposing reactions – condemnation and compassion.  What homosexuals need is salvation, conviction, forgiveness and love. Homosexuality is a sin that cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. (1 Cor. 6:9-10) 

Culture and The Church

If the Bible believing church embraces a culture or beliefs contrary to the scriptures is a perversion. The temporal world strives rebellious cultures thus to destroy God’s Holy Word. For any excuses behind biblically condemned perversion is nothing short of denying God and the Gospel (Mat. 19:4). Church Leaders must defeat the enemy’s works and must confront it with the truth. The scriptures condemn homosexuality, leaders need to stay faithful and honor His Word, and leave the results to Him.

Critical Events: Middle East Conflict Resumes, Syrian Border Flooded With Millions Of Refugees

【Current Affairs: The 9-year bloody Syrian civil war has once again caused a major conflict in the northern Syrian battlefield. In order to annihilate the last base of the Resistance in the northern border of Idlib Province, the Syrian government of Assad has repeatedly bombed Turkey’s “buffer station outpost” in northern Syria. On 2/27, at least 33 Turkish troops were killed in a Syrian-backed Syrian air raid, killing the Turkish army the worst since it intervened in the Syrian conflict in 2016. Concerns emerged from the direct conflict between Turkey and Turkey. So far in 2020, about 300 civilians have died in Idlib and Aleppo provinces in Syria. The situation is still worsening and the people have suffered the most.

Turkish-Russian tensions rise as European refugee crisis emerges

At present, the Turkish Army has dispatched a large number of armored troops to enter northern Syria, and issued military orders and threatened to “face the decisive battle” with Syrian Assad troops before the end of February. Two Russian warships equipped with cruise missiles are reportedly sailing to Syria, and tensions have risen in Turkey and Russia. On 2/28, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conference to look after the crisis. At the same time, Turkey opened up refugee movements and assisted refugees to “go abroad.” The European refugee crisis had reappeared years ago. Greece and Bulgaria, which border Turkey, had strengthened border security.

The people who have suffered the most in the war are always the people

Under the flames of war, the people who will suffer most will always be the people. The United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Di Carlo, said that since early December last year, nearly 1 million people have been displaced, including 560,000 children. Most of them live in makeshift camps. Women and children are particularly at risk of violence and exploitation. Because of food insecurity, 6.5 million Syrians face hunger every day.

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed that at least 1,750 civilians have been killed since April last year. In the past two months alone, 351 civilians have been killed. The majority (94%) of these civilian deaths occurred in opposition-controlled areas, were bombed by pro-government forces, and 6% occurred in government-controlled areas.

A Gathering of Chinese and Aboriginal People in Washington DC (2)

【Event: This week we will continue to share the meetings between Chinese and Aboriginals in DC, God is doing great things. We will continue to count His blessing and give Him glory!

Last time we mentioned God called a small group of Chinese from the East Coast and indigenous peoples of all ethnic groups from different ages to make a salt covenant, but even the indigenous peoples took the initiative to establish a family relationship with each other. After the gathering, local Chinese leaders took several Aboriginal elders to DC’s Capitol Hill to pray. An Aboriginal elder from the Blackfoot tribe of Montana prayed for the United States in front of Capitol Hill. Afterwards, he said to the local Chinese leader, “I have been to DC to pray a few times before, but I have never felt the words of authority coming out of my mouth like this time!”

Praise God, this Aboriginal father knows his identity!

Here is Papa Fred, the father of the East Coast, bringing another perspective to show about the gathering.

The three days between 2/20 and 2/22. Nearly 20 East Coast Chinese invited 11 Aboriginal people and 2 white people to gather around DC. The Chinese were coming from New York, New Jersey , Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Aboriginal and white people were from Oklahoma , Arizona  , Montana , South Dakota , Mississippi , Florida, New York, New Jersey and other places. This is the result of praying online over a period of time. We have been connected with the aborigines for over three years, and felt led to spend a few days with a few leaders with a kingdom perspective, and to share the core value of “family” we received from “Homecoming” for them to bring back to their tribes.

For three days, we lived in a big house, cooking, sharing, and living life together. There were no pre-planned agendas. Only following the leading of the Spirit of God,  we worshipped with the flute, the guitar, and the drum, singing and dancing together. Starting with them telling their personal stories, sharing their feelings, and God did a very deep work, naturally.

The aboriginal stories are quite similar. Older ones described being driven away from their lands, leaving their homes and experiencing death. Just like black people like to sing spiritual songs, they also sang: “Give me Christ, or else I die.” And: “Jesus, I need You, come, help us.” Some younger one shared, being fatherless, and mother being alcoholic, he may have received a little love from his grandmother, but he was also tortured by drugs, alcohol, entrapped with various sins and the ugliness of human nature, and  also even experiences death.

Thank You Lord, for having some mature elders with wisdom among us this time, giving everyone a sense of security. One young lady shared that at first, she was uncomfortable with the passionate love and sincere caring of the Chinese, but she was changed in three days. She is no longer the same and became a new person completely. She was thankful to God for the gift of “family”. An older lady also shared that she had changed because of the love and family of God. The major coordinator of this gathering said that he no longer seeks to be a speaker in big conferences, but would rather be in small gatherings like this with love for one another, and allow God’s will be done.

The next morning we took communion together. In the evening, the Chinese and the Aboriginal people made a salt covenant with them and with one another. After making that covenant, the Aboriginal elders said that there is still unfinished business among them, and 11 of them also made a covenant with each other. We were so happy to see this! Because there has always been so much jealousy and strife between their ethnic groups. If they can make a covenant, and begin to trust, and unify, is the greatest request we have before the Lord!

The East Coast Chinese family was really cute. Without anyone giving orders. People brought food, worked together in the kitchen, preparing, cooking and cleaning. This is such a beautiful family, no wonder the aborigines have been touched and changed, without us needing to say anything.
