I have just learned recently the reason shepherds will pour ointment on the heads of sheep is because “Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep.  Psalm 23:5: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;  my cup overflows.” …Detailed Reading

Declaration Prayer: Prayer of Declaration for America

Editor’s note: There are less than 90 days left until the US general election on November 3. God has revealed nations to stand with the United States. When America does God’s will, nations will rise up. Therefore, we are here to call on intercessors from all countries to declare prayers for the United States at this time.

Declare and Decree in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ:

• The Lord God is the Lord of America and the eternal King. ( Psalm 24:1 )
• God will gives the spirit of mercy and repentance to the American churches, raise up churches that conform to God’s will, and possess the enemy’s gate in America!
• The great light of God’s truth shines on the American people, especially the youth, who are sitting in the shadow of death, opening their spiritual eyes and awakening them in time to return to God.
• God wants to do the work of uprooting, demolishing, replanting and establishing in America. God’s will for America must be clear, and all people and things that hinder the United States will be removed. God’s judgment will come to the deep government, corrupt the wicked’s tactics, and break the wicked’s head. Elisha of God’s family will arise, Jehu of God’s family will arise! These people will eliminate the power of Jezebel in the United States.
• The revival is coming to America, and the glory of God will enter America. This is the day when God restores the church and the day when God’s glory is manifested in America. Jesus is victorious! The church triumphs! All glory, honor and authority belong to God!
• The United States will continue to support Israel to stand together with Israel and seek peace for Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:6)
• The Lord Jesus is in power in the United States. Justice and righteousness have once again become the foundation of American legislative, executive, and judicial institutions. ( Ps 89:14; Ps 97:2 )
• American government leaders are full of justice, integrity, and wisdom, and the decisions they make are in the will of God. ( Early 2:2)
• The Lord Jesus will send harvest workers to the fields to harvest crops, and America will have a great harvest of souls.

In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pray for the First Nation in North American: Turnaround the “Trails of Tears” – The Restoration and Redemption of Chahta and Chickasah

【Current affairs: First Nation young leader Jennifer Gomez shared the reconciliation and restoration of the Choctaw and Chickasaw groups. The two tribes originally came from the same tribe, with similar languages ​​and cultures; however, due to the Trails of Tears, they were separated.

For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

【PRAYER】

• Establish a Real Family Relationship : Father God, thank You for starting to reconcile the Choctaw tribe with the lost tribe through the “Trails of Tears”. Please shower them with love, continue to heal and comfort them, so they can truly understand Your love for them to know their identities and positions to be free in the truth. Get rid of all competition, jealousy and fear, and open up communication and establish real family relationships. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head,  running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard,  down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing,   even life forevermore (Ps. 133:1-3 )
• Give the Anointing of Unity and Breakthrough : Father God, You are the God that does new things! Please supernaturally open the way and call more First Nation peoples from all the tribes to attend the September gathering, and grant unity and breakthrough. The anointing enables all ethnic groups to become one, becoming the rod in the hands of God, exercising the authority of the eldest son, and bringing down the restoration of the land and the country.

Editor’s Note: America Destabilized!

Shared by: Mike & Cindy Jacob

Date : August 14

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”(Hosea 4:6; KJV)

America is broken. Not just in the many obvious ways that are all over the media, but specifically in the three foundational institutions of America: family, government, and the Church.

Family:

The biblical structure of family has taken on new meaning in this day and age. According to the Word of God, “two are better than one”, “he who finds a wife finds a good thing”, and “it’s not good for the man to be alone”. But the biblical definition of marriage has now deteriorated to 7.5 million couples living together, with 40% of those unmarried households having children. Same-sex marriage has been legalized by the highest court in our land. Transgenderism, even among children, is now being normalized. Recently, a new domestic partnership ordinance was adopted in a Massachusetts city which decided to recognize polyamorous relationships. The ethical and moral values of families in America are clearly no longer founded on the Word of God.

Government:

Vice President Mike Pence recently delivered a speech that was hailed as his best speech ever. “You know, it’s not so much whether America will be more conservative or more liberal, more Republican or Democrat, more red or blue. It’s whether America remains America.” 2 “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every family too. For what family is so strong, what community so firm, as not to be overturned by enmity and dissension? Divisions commonly end in desolation; if we clash, we break; if we divide one from another, we become an easy prey to a common enemy; much more if we bite and devour one another.”

Church:

In the book of Revelation, the Lord talks about the seven churches. The church of Laodicea was neither hot (on fire for God) nor cold (did not know God). They were lukewarm. Has the church today become lukewarm? Have we lost our zeal and passion for the things of God? Do we still hunger and thirst after righteousness? Or, have we become comfortable being in the middle of the road with one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom? “Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.”

The real battle is: A battle for the soul of our nation. God doesn’t judge a nation based on the character of one man; He judges it based on the spiritual health of its people.3

Decree with us:

1. “The Law came, so that the full power of sin could be seen. Yet where sin was powerful, God’s gift of undeserved grace was even more powerful.”(Romans 5:20; CEV)
2. “For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”(John 3:17; NIV)
3. You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you have become the Lord’s people, you are in the light. So you must live like people who belong to the light,(Ephesians 5:8; GNT)

For the Future of the Kingdom,

Mike and Cindy Jacobs

Editor’s Note: Ararat-The Curse has Been Reversed!

Shared:  Pastor David Peng

Date : August 14

I have just learned recently the reason shepherds will pour ointment on the heads of sheep is because “Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep.  Psalm 23:5: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;  my cup overflows.”

On August 13th, the second “Homecoming Gathering” of Isaiah 19 was held at 8 am Eastern Time. Joining the gathering often gives me the sense that I am participating in a “drama”, “We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭4:9‬ ‭B)
In the first gathering Isaiah 19:24 was the order emphasized, the Egyptian and Arab brothers and sisters started the worship and sharing. Although their language is unfamiliar to us, the sound of string instruments and flues evoked our hearts with sorrow and sadness and longing, a sense of displacement, the frustration and dissatisfaction of life. This emotion is no stranger to the Chinese!

They began to share the complex emotions of love, hate caused by “Israel” and “Jews” in their hearts. I felt like I was hearing Hagar’s lamentation and Ishmael’s crying… the sense of betrayal, the pain of the fatherless, and the jealousy between the brothers, finally formed a stronghold, and stopped communicating with each other; But in actuality they were brothers from the same family but they disdain and despise each other. The gulf between them became deeper and larger and the walls were built.  As Asher, the father of Israel, pointed out, this is a “curse for four thousand years.” All were grieved and implicated, no one except our enemy the devil is happy about this. However, for the past four thousand years, the descendants of Israel and Arabia, Isaac and Ishmael have given their enemies time and time again to hurt each other. It is shuddering to think of the curse of these thousand years!

But this is what is wonderful about this!
The eager cry of a young Chinese sister Irene revealed a speck of light. The Chinese have always regarded “center” as their mission, and they are the messengers of peace given by God. This is a special destiny given to the Chinese by the Lord! Irene’s heartfelt cry of prayer, announcing that the Chinese are ready to be their messenger of reconciliation, and even willing to sacrifice her life to make it happen!!
While everyone’s hearts were still trembling, the Holy Spirit inspired Asher to proclaim and pray loudly, asking the blood of Yeshua  to break the curse of four thousand years, and the mercy of God as anointing to heal the entanglement of thousands years of scars, all the enmity and hatred are brought to the cross, cancel the curse of these four thousand years, they will no longer be able to continue to control and ravage them!

Yes, this is our hope “and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility” (Ephesians 2:16) When Everyone sighed: The more illumination, the more temptation. always loyal and good are ups and downs, evildoers are rampant, and where is the law of heaven? ! In fact, it is because the kingdom of God has not yet fully come, and God’s will has not yet been fulfilled. Everyone will soon see that evil is overwhelming, ‬‬But the gift is not like the trespass. ( Romans 5:15a ) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,” (Romans‬ ‭5:20‬ b)

At this moment, God gave us a big surprise for all who watched and participated!
After the Jewish father Asher prayed, sister Rebekah led everyone with an Armenian poem. Asher specifically mentioned that the famous Mount Ararat is located on the land of Armenia. Just as the Rebekah sisters sang the first lyrics, which is 17:49 local time in Israel, there was a sudden great news that the Arab Principality decided to restore all diplomatic relations with Israel! (Note 2)
Asher continued to explain, ” Ararat ” in the original Hebrew means” curse reversed “, then he excitedly points out a point, “glory to Lord, because He is a God who keeps His covenant and shows love and compassion, we are experiencing the agreement between God and Noah!” (“Glory to God, the Lord of covenant! We’re beginning to the reality of the covenant of God with Noah !”)

I didn’t know the original meaning of Mount Ararat until now. I only knew that Mount Ararat was the name of the mountain where Noah’s Ark finally landed. Now I’ve learned that “Ararat” means God cancels and reverses the curse. It was the rainbow that God gave to Noah for the first time to open the heaven after the trail of the terrible flood, a place of declaration of safety and stability! That ark is the salvation in the flood, also a foretell of the cross that bears the sins of the world! “Ararat” is not a name for stranded failure, but a sign of God’s sufficient grace, and the curse turns into a blessing! Because “I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.” (Genesis ‬ ‭9:15‬) ‭ and “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” (‭‭ Galatians‬ ‭3:13 )
Final thought, isn’t the time we are in, like the time of  Noah, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” ‭‭ (Matthew ‬24:37‬)  is now the era of judgment, and the time of turning the tide, seeing that the strong anointing is about to break the heavy curse and yoke! Amen! The yoke will be broken  because you have grown so fat (Isaiah ‬ ‭10:27‬ ‭b)
Is our God awesome?! Isn’t He worthy of all our praise and worship? !
Sincerely, Pastor Peng

Pray for United States: “Let’s Worship”-New Revival Movement

【Current Events: The US Constitution guarantees freedom of religion , freedom of speech , and freedom of assembly . Once upon a time, some powerful politicians and social media giants adopted various forms of religious suppression, such as restricting church gatherings and banning singing in churches in response to the Coronavirus epidemic . At the same time, several online social media strictly censored Christian-related speeches and took them down. We have the right to worship and preach the word of God freely. In view of this, Sean Feucht, leader of the Bethel Church worship group, launched a campaign called “Let us Worship”, hoping that by the peaceful protest of the church to release the sound can let government leaders and large technology companies know “We refuse to be silent!”

“Revival riot“ (Riot to Revival)

Sean said: “I think it’s time. We must stand up. We need bold and courageous pastors who not only defend our constitutional right to worship, but also oppose crazy laws against the church.”

Since the beginning of July, thousands of Californians have been participating in “Let’s Worship” protests across the state. After several weeks, from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the beaches in San Diego, more than 5,000 people gathered on Sunday. When gathered for worship in San Francisco on July 9, the local police said, “Oh! We need this very much on this bridge.” They also helped seal up a lane for them. On July 26, more than 5,000 people participated in the San Diego event. People prayed sincerely, sang and worshiped freely to bring God’s presence, many people were healed and released, and some were baptized in the sea.

In addition to California, “Let’s Worship” has also stopped in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, and Washington.

Brave Believers in Seattle

In the most recent rally in Seattle on August 9 , Christians showed a living testimony of being strong and courageous in the Lord . Violent protesters flashed knives, Satan worshipers marched in the worship crowd all day, yelling “Hail to Satan!” White people yelling and threatening against the anti-fascist organization (ANTIFA) Local black priest. Although there were more than 30 bodyguards guarding Sean and his band, the drums , guitar pedals and generator were still damaged. However, even so, they never stopped worshiping! Is experiencing a lot of pain in Seattle brings blessings!

The Voice of Worshiping God Never Ceases

Sean said: ” Faced with the turmoil caused by the Coronavirus and ethnic conflict, God gave the answer through His people in actions of love and unity. Maybe we can’t meet in buildings, but we can meet on the beach, on the bridge, and Meeting in the park is no longer restricted within the four walls. We can still be the church, even if we are not in a building. ” Sean’s team will continue to travel to various places to build altars of worship and prayer and keep heaven’s doors open.

Critical Event: “Re-education Camps” Broke Out in Xinjiang – Pray for Xinjiang’s Destiny

【Current Affairs: For a long time, the Chinese government and Xinjiang have been in conflict and political tension. Since the end of 2016, the basic human rights in the “Xinjiang area” have been deteriorating. The long-term human rights persecution of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang by the Chinese Communist Party has already aroused high international attention. According to reports so far, there may have been 2 to 3 million Uyghurs detained indefinitely. Facing questions from the international community, the Chinese government argued that it was a “re-education camp.” The Uyghurs were detained to allow them to receive “vocational education,” so that they could have jobs, and all ethnic groups in Xinjiang get along well and have good economic development. However, a recent Washington report revealed that, in addition to forced labor and forced Sinicization of Uyghurs through “re-education camps,” the CCP also planned to use compulsory birth control and sterilization of Xinjiang women to curb the Uyghur population growth, which may have reached the United Nations. By the definition of “genocide”, experts also described the CCP as a “chronic massacre.”

International response to human rights in Xinjiang

• Human rights organizations including “Amnesty International” and “Human Rights Watch” have submitted reports to the United Nations, documenting the persecution of human rights in China’s large-scale concentration camps in Xinjiang.
• When German President Steinmeier met with Xi Jinping on December 9, he also expressed his concerns about the situation of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
• The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 with an overwhelming 413:1 vote on May 27, and it was signed by Trump on June 18 and officially took effect. This bill requires the President of the United States to name and sanction for abuse. And Chinese officials imprisoning Uyghurs. 

The ancient path for the gospel to return to Jerusalem

Xinjiang is an ancient path that the gospel must pass through. In the 1940s, a group of Chinese Christians received the vision of “Back to Jerusalem” and wanted to spread the gospel back to Jerusalem via the Western Silk Road. As a result, a small group of missionaries came to Kashgar on the border when the Communist Party closed the border. The whole class was arrested and imprisoned, and the vision was hibernated.

It was not until 1981 that one of the imprisoned members, Zhao Ximen, was released. This vision was revived because of his testimony. Many Chinese responded to this vision. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the training, language learning, and development channels for cross-cultural missions to enable Chinese Christian missionaries to take the gospel from the Silk Road through the strong base camps of Muslims, Hinduism, and Buddhism. May God provide resources to enable Chinese believers to complete this vision and fulfill the Lord’s Great Commission.

Pray for the First Nation in North American: Turnaround the “Trails of Tears” – The Restoration and Redemption of Chahta and Chickasah

【Current affairs: First Nation young leader Jennifer Gomez shared the reconciliation and restoration of the Choctaw and Chickasaw groups. The two tribes originally came from the same tribe, with similar languages ​​and cultures; however, due to the Trails of Tears, they were separated. God moved Randy, the leader of the Chickasaw tribe, to actively connect with Jennifer, and went to the Choctaw Reservation in Mississippi to attend a gathering together, to reunite with them again. The following is Jennifer’s testimony of how God restored these two groups:

The Restoration and Redemption of Chahta and Chickasah

The purpose of this writing is to provide a brief background of how the Holy Spirit began a momentum of reconciliation of the Choctaws and Chickasaws in the Spirit of God and to ask for prayers for an upcoming gathering on Saturday, September 5, 2020. 

The history according to linguist the early missionaries who wrote the stories given to them by the Choctaw elders.  The Chahta (Choctaw) and Chickasah (Chickasaw) were two brother chiefs who led their people to their new home.  The original tribe’s name was Chickamacaw who were the first Mexican Empire.  They were exiled from their land because of a more dominant tribe.  It took them over 43years before they found their new home.  They were led by the Holy Men IshtAhullo who carried a sacred pole.  The IshtAhullo would put the pole in the ground and if leaned to a direction in the morning that is the direction they continued to go.  Once they crossed the Mississippi River the pole did not lean, and this was their new home.  It is said the tribes divided because they were too big for one place, so they agreed to let the pole decide their fates again.  They stood on opposite side of each holding onto the pole, then walked away from it.  As a result, the Chickasaws ended up north and the Choctaws stayed in the south.  That is a brief history of the Chickamacaw. 

The Choctaws were the first to go on the trail of tears in 1830, but some Choctaws hid in the swamps to stay in Mississippi.  Eventually, they became a federally recognized tribe in 1945 and are known as the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.  The Choctaws who walked the trail of tears are known as the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.  There is another group of Choctaws who escaped the trail of tears and hid in the woods in Louisiana and today they are known as the Jena Band of Choctaw Indians.  (We are praying for a Louisiana Choctaw intercessor to connect with us because we have not connected with anyone there.  They are still a missing piece of what God is doing in the reconciliation.)  The Chickasaws made sure all of their people went to Oklahoma.  So, the only remaining tribe in Mississippi are the Choctaws.  

Today, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians consist of 8 small communities that adds up to over 11,000 members of the tribe.  It is also important to know about 80% of the tribe believes in Jesus Christ as their Savior, but about 90%-95% of them do not believe the Holy Spirit is with us (they have the bible).  As you could imagine that created a religious environment, people learn the bible based on their own interpretation, and with all the trauma they experienced there are many open wounds. 

Monday mornings Joe Donnell and I pray with the east coast Chinese Family.  A Choctaw prayer intercessor, Darlene Willis, from Mississippi called to ask for prayers because of all the deaths due to covid19.  As we prayed, I saw a forcefield over the land, prayers were being released like arrows but the forcefield blocked it.  I explained this to Darlene, immediately she realized they were blocking the prayers and she asked how to deal with it.  As a result, the Chinese and I began doing zoom calls with their church, Spirit of Life, on Wednesday evenings.  During the first prayer meeting, I saw a spear pierce through the forcefield and penetrate in the land.  Within 3-4 weeks things began to significantly change.   It went from 5-6 deaths a day to 1 in a week and now there are less than 10 people in the hospital. 

At the beginning of July, I gave Joe Donnell an update – he felt the urgency to do a gathering in the land of Mississippi with the Chinese and a few other non-natives.  Our team from Oklahoma for this trip was Randy Wade of Chickasaw, two elders from Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Ruby Taylor and Lois Samuels, and myself, Jennifer Gomez, Mississippi Choctaw (I live in Durant, OK).  The Holy Spirit revealed this would be a Turnaround Time for the Choctaws and the land.  However, the Chinese family was unable to make it but we were able to set up a Zoom Video Conference.

The first evening of the gathering Holy Spirit stirred us and opened a portal from heaven.  The family of God was highlighted in a powerful way.  The Choctaws were encouraged and felt the presence of God. 

The next morning, we (the Oklahoma team) connected with another Spirit filled Choctaw woman, Shirly Berg, on the reservation.  The Holy Spirit led us to an additional prayer assignment at Nanih Waiya, which is a mound that was our first home.  Also, it’s the place where the Choctaws and Chickasaws divided.  We soon learned it was time to clean our home and get our house in order.  The Spirit of God had us welcome the Chickasaws back home.  We stepped into repentance, reconciliation, prophetic acts, declarations and worship.   The cloud of witnesses’ presence was very strong, and the glory of God penetrated the land like a vortex.  Later that evening was our final day of prayer with the church at Spirit of Life.  The work done at the mound brought forth the beginning of a redemptive plan of God for the Choctaws and Chickasaws and I believe the nation.  I could see an ancient well busted open and God was restoring hope.  I kept hearing “No more hope deferred!”  That evening God highlighted He is removing the old wineskins and giving us New Wineskins for the New Wine.  One of the Chinese ladies painted golden grapes and saw that is who we are.  The Choctaws were greatly encouraged because God was giving them back their identity.  God began a momentum there and some people stepped into the new.  The pastor of the church, Thomas Ben, heard the Holy Spirit say take your portion.  Another lady saw a huge wall then she saw an angel come in and crush it.  The first night many of the Choctaws were shy, but by the last night they were all praying and pouring out their hearts. 

Now we are back in Oklahoma preparing for our annual Choctaw Day of Prayer.  As we are praying for this gathering, God has highlighted the binding of the brothers in the Spirit of God so we may walk in covenant as a real FAMILY full of love and honoring God.  And it starts with the remnant!  After we came back from Mississippi, I had a vision and saw the refiner’s fire inside the edges of the mound, and the Holy Spirit said, “I am healing the land and the people, and I am starting with the Holy Men.”  (The Holy Men are the ones who made the mounds.)  We believe God wants something very similar here in Oklahoma that was done in Mississippi.  This time there will be more Chickasaws, the Mississippi Choctaws are coming and the remnant of Choctaws here in Oklahoma.  We need prayers for the Louisiana Choctaws to join us that would be all the pieces coming together. 

There is an urgency on this gathering and will help shift the state of Oklahoma.  Oklahoma is a Choctaw word that means land of the red.  They carry a powerful authority over the land.  May God have His way with His children and we step into our DESTINY.
