One of the greatest offers in the history of the world was made centuries ago to a man named Obed-edom. At the instruction of David, king of Israel, he was asked if his living room could be the Holy of Holies for a while.

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. Thus the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

Editor’s Note: Nita Johnson: The Beast in charge of the United States has been Dealt with, Prepare for the Outpouring of Glory

Information : Nita Johnson  Date: May 21, 2021   Source: EncounterU

Before we begin to pray, I want to talk about Larson (pronounced, the name of the evil spirit). Larson is a major satanic ruler in the United States and has been so since I was saved. You can find what this spirit did in Ezekiel 16:49-51.

Ezekiel Chapter 16, 49-51:

Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done.

It was involved in the slave trade, and in some other corruption in the United States; we have been working hard to deal with this guy. We gave it some very serious blows. On Tuesday night, we demolished some powerful companies in which it participated. We finally did enough work in the spiritual realm to reach the final step: obedience ; opening a door for God to not only defeat it, but destroy it. I really saw this dragon being torn in half before my eyes, so it was over. As it departs, many areas under its control will begin to collapse. We will pray for this this weekend. We have already prayed tonight and will continue to pray until tomorrow night, because we want to see it completely collapse.

I am very excited. God’s powerful presence has continued in this house from Sunday to the present. I now understand why Wednesday’s presence was so strong and lasted for a whole week. It was when He killed Larsen. It was filled with the joy of His presence. I can’t tell you how joyful Jesus Christ is, because this evil spirit was finally killed, it can no longer affect the United States, it is permanently gone. Praise God, so I want to pray for some of His work, His rule and other things, before the gathering ends tonight.

Father God, once again, we are really very excited, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, nothing is impossible with You. You know the strategies of war, and You know how to help us work with You in these strategies, so that You can do the things that can’t be accomplished, without Your guidance, Your authority, Your power, and Your determination. Lord, all this is in You, all we need to do is to obey. When we obey You to do supernatural things and You perform miracles, we are very excited about it. Lord, here we are, just excited to shed tears of joy, because it was such a difficult battle with this guy, but now it’s gone, thank You and praise You. You will be glorified and exalted in this country, and we will see our country begin to become more righteous because the beast has left.

What excites me is that since we started focusing on the commission of the gathering more than 20 years ago, You have given us miracles at every meeting that brought us to where we are now. We are experiencing the greatest miracles now. We thank You  very much, Father God, You are cleaning up the evil, I don’t know what to say, those evil forces are passing away, they know that they can’t stop it.

Lord, I remember many years ago, about 20 years ago, you introduced Larson to me. The angel who did this told me that Larson did not know who was assigned to destroy it, only that its rule in the United States would end. But at that moment, I was introduced to it, and the angel told me that we were the ones chosen to kill it. Therefore, it tried very hard to resist us. But, God, nothing is too difficult for You. We understood that what we cannot do is easy for You, so we thank You for what You have done, we just want to jump and shout for joy for Your greatness, Your care, and Your love, because You are the authority of all power, and You are the power of all might. No one can resist You and still stand.

You will restore America and Israel in Your decree, no matter what evil dignitaries think they can do to Israel, as You did in America, You will pull the carpet from under them. Because You love my people, You love Israel, You love America, and Your love keeps You on guard against evil. These dark forces want to impose evil on these two countries and eventually all the countries on the earth. However, it is not the time yet. Now is not the time for the dark forces to come out and do what they want to do, not yet. Therefore, Lord, because You have the final say, and You are the God they must fight against, Nothing can resist You, but they will be destroyed before You.

Lord, I have served for forty years. For forty years, You have proven this time and time again. No matter what the devil wants to do, You always turn it into harm for itself, and You always turn it to benefit us. Thank You, for Your kindness, Thank You for Your wisdom, kindness, mercy, Thank You for Your power, authority, strategy, and Your way. You know how to seduce them and lock them up.

We say to God the Father: This is a great week. We praise You for Your goodness. We praise You for being with us in this battle. Nothing can defeat Your plans and purposes. If there is someone standing with You, Father God, I know I won’t stop unless You say: Nita, it’s time to go to heaven, your time is over, we’re going to leave this to Ricci. Until that moment, I am the Lord’s, and I will definitely be on your side. I believe this is the same for the rest of the team and the online intercessors, because we long to see the glory of God, which is greater than any glory we can imagine, and we long to see Your glory.

Thank You, Father God, there are many things in my mind, but what I want to say is to ask for forgiveness for the bloodshed that has been going on in this country for so long. First, the blood of the Indians was shed, then the blood of the African Americans, then the abortion, then the human trafficking , one thing after another, we know that the same madness is spreading all over the world.

But, in the name of Jesus, we say it will not continue, You will end it. Lord, what You are going to do, You are orchestrating a purposeful plan. You have formulated a strategy and implemented it, shocking the enemy. Thank You for giving us President Trump. He is a part of the answered prayers for intercessors who are fighting for justice in this country. His work is not finished yet. The work he has to do before he finishes  is like a man with long hair reaching his waist. You have to take him to the barber shop to cut it off and groom him. God, you are cutting the evil hair for this country, and the evil hair of this government is about to be cut off, which is against Your plan and purpose.

We thank You, Father, we thank You for forgiving our sins of bloodshed, we become a church loving these children, we become a church loving those who are used in the most evil rituals, doing the most terrible things , We stand for them, Father God, we cover them with Your blood, we thank You for helping them escape, and we thank You for handling these criminals and abortionists. A few years ago, You told Ricci what You were going to do, and You were going to end it all. Father God, I have kept this promise all these years because I fully believe that You have spoken to her, and I agree with what You gave her. This is my spiritual testimony. Therefore, if we stick to Your plan, the children will be saved.

Lord, please forgive our madness for the satanic rituals performed all over the country. Lord, these people are lunatics, their brains don’t have the same cells as ours, they are lunatics. We pray that those who want freedom will be released by You, and those who love their madness will be dealt with by You, because our God is great and it is terrible to fall into the hands of the living God. You are a consuming fire, and may Your fire consume evil. We thank You, Father God, for ending abortion, ending Satan’s ritual and organ harvesting, and all other evils. It is hard for a Christian’s natural mind to imagine. Lord, clean up the weeds in the yard and pour down Your Holy Spirit, so that glory can be given to the righteous and the saints, and glory to Your name.

We thank You, Father, for protecting these 22 twin towers. They will not be able to attack or destroy any one of them. Father, we are standing in the breach. We ask You to remove those evil people from the twin towers. Father, we thank You for that. Protect those towers, protect their justice, we pray. Father God, in Your name, we destroy the international criminal syndicates that thrive in these places. You can use these towers for Your glory and for the safety of Your people. Father God, we thank You for defeating Freemasonry, what the enemy used to create evil wars against blacks. We thank You for this. A generation of black people in this country will be elevated to honorable status, so that the world can see what You do and what You will do. We thank You Father God for this. We call them into colleges, teach them righteous things, and help them thrive in righteousness, commensurate with their talents. We thank Your Father for this, and spread the abilities of these people throughout the country, praising Your decision, and birth this race, and we thank Your Father God for this. We thank You for protecting them, Thank You for Your wisdom, Thank You for Your knowledge, Thank you for Your cleverness, and Thank You for preparing everything they need to prosper in justice.

We thank the Lord for letting Freemasonry completely disintegrate and end it, just as You did many years ago, let it end. In the name of Jesus, say to the elite group of the New World Order, we bind the power of Freemasonry, and we say to you: no more, no more. Now we are knocking it down. It will decline day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year. May the door of the message be opened for the world to see, and make those men and women fear and tremble before You, because You take away their poison so that they can no longer hurt the people.

We thank You, we thank You, thank You, Father, You are so good, You are so good, we thank You, You are opening the door of relationship and understanding, the door of peace, the door of obedience and justice, we thank You Everything You have done, prepares the nations to welcome the outpouring of this great glory.

God, I was thinking about something that Ricci prayed a few minutes ago. I remember seeing huge waves sweeping across the United States twenty years ago and spreading to many countries in the world. When I was sitting there writing a press release, this vision just appeared. It was so terrible, it was so wonderful, I cried and cried, as Ricci said: Lord, we know it will be soon , Lord, help us to humble and glorify You, and only give You the glory, not us.

I thank You for Your blessings. I need intercessors that are standing. They stay, they stand and pray. We thank You for this, Father, bless them, bless them; Lord, bless them.

In Your precious holy name, amen.

Editor’s Note: Dutch Sheet: “The Joy of His Presence” Day 11, Chapter 11: The Spoiler

Letter information: Dutch Sheets Date: May 17, 2021  Source:  GiveHim15

Editor’s note : The message of Dutch Sheet  “Give Him 15” ​​series started on May 7th for a 30-day journey with God, going through daily from the chapters of his book “The Joy of His Presence” How the intercessors connect with the heart of God. Dutch Sheet said that the reason for using this book as a prayer post is because it is related to the “God Presence Movement” that God is about to release on earth. Many intercessors report that they have benefited from it a lot. Therefore, even though this journey has started already, we still encourage everyone to take the time to join. You can read new or past posts, by clicking here , and it is updated daily.

One of the greatest offers in the history of the world was made centuries ago to a man named Obed-edom. At the instruction of David, king of Israel, he was asked if his living room could be the Holy of Holies for a while.

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. Thus the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

(2 Samuel 6:10-11)

Can you imagine being asked, “Would you mind if we placed the ark of the covenant in your home for a few months?” If you were a lover of God, this honor would have been unimaginable. Remember, in Obed-edom’s day, it was over the ark that the very presence and glory of God hovered.

How would you respond? “Uh, I don’t know, King. I’ll have to think about whether or not I want the shekinah glory of God hovering in my living room for the next three months.” I don’t think I’d have had to pray about it. Obviously, Obed-edom didn’t.

Can you imagine finding your wife and blurting out, “You’ll never guess what is in our living room!” And what about the conversation with your kids: “Now, guys, you can look but DON’T TOUCH!” And don’t you just imagine that his house became the first choice for the neighborhood home group!

One can only guess what it was like at Obed-edom’s home for the three months the ark was there. Did they sit for hours and stare at it? Did it ever get dark in the house? (Think about it). Was the whole house permeated by the presence of Yahweh? Was there a constant haze? Did people fall down when they walked by it? We don’t know the answers to these questions, but we do know “the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household” (v. 11) during this unprecedented season. We also know that when David finally moved the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, Obed-edom packed up and moved his entire household with it, becoming a gatekeeper in the tent that housed it [the tabernacle of David] (1 Chronicles 26:1-4). One can almost hear his conversation with David: “If you think, Your Highness, that after having the presence and glory of God in my living room for the last three months I’m going to live without it, you’re badly mistaken. You’re taking me with you!”

It was David, a lover of God, who decided to go after the ark and bring it to Jerusalem. “Then David consulted with…every leader. And David said to all the assembly of Israel.’Let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul’” (1 Chronicles 13:1-3). What a sad epitaph for a leader: “The presence of God was not sought after during his reign.” And what sad days those must have been for the Lord.

I’m certain He was pleased when David, a man after His heart, wanted Him and His presence to be the focal point of the nation once again. Yet the process turned out to be difficult. Due to the inappropriate way the ark was transported, a man felt compelled to touch it in an attempt to steady it, an act that should have been avoided. The consequences of doing so had been clearly explained by Yahweh. He was killed by the glory of the Lord, which resulted in great fear and a three-month delay. This is why it made its way to Obed-edom’s house.

Finally, David discovered the correct way to transport the ark and it was relocated to Jerusalem. Obed-edom, however, was not about to buy into the separation. “Pack up, guys,” he told the family. “We’re moving.”

I’ve done the Obed-edom thing – sort of. Obviously, it wasn’t exactly the same but was about as close as you could get to it nowadays. Thirteen years ago (in 2008) we had a special series of meetings in the church I pastored in Colorado Springs. On Sunday morning, a prophetic guest dropped the bombshell: “Put everything else on hold and for ninety days do nothing but 24/7 worship. Just as Obed-edom hosted the ark of His presence for three months, God is asking you to do the same,” he declared.

My mind started racing: Was this really a word from the Holy Spirit? Should we try it? Could we pull it off? What about our other programs? How would this affect the church? These and other questions flooded my mind. But…

We did it! We did the Obed-edom thing.

The next three months became the best of my life. Like Obed-edom, I was spoiled. The logistics were challenging, of course, but the worship never stopped. And the presence of God in our sanctuary for the next ninety days, well, it was thick and weighty. I cancelled all but a couple of my speaking engagements during the three months and spent several hours every day just hanging out with God.

Not only did it change my life, it changed the lives of hundreds others. People took their vacation days and spent them with God. Occasionally, families brought sleeping bags and spent the night, “camping out” in His presence. Many came on their lunch breaks. A few people came and spent time with Him every day; one lady actually spent every night there. An Air Force colonel came every morning on his way to work and every night after work. At the end, all who participated were ruined. Normal, for us, had become radical. Thirty minutes, and few worship songs on Sunday morning would never again satisfy. The Obed-edom thing causes BIG problems. It’s now easy to see why Obed-edom didn’t even try to fight it. “I’m addicted,” he said with his actions. “Where the ark goes, I go.”

David seemed to understand. “No sense in arguing with him; he’s ruined. He’ll never outgrow or outlive it. Make him a doorkeeper at the tent.” David, too, became “addicted.” I finally understood how he could say, “A day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside” (Psalm 84:10). David also said, “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple” (Psalm 27:4).

I get it.

You, too, can do the Obed-edom thing. No, not 24/7, but nonetheless, the Lord wants to come to your house. His presence is no longer limited to an ark in a Holy of Holies. Pursue Him. If you do, like the bride looking for her groom in the Song of Solomon, He’ll let you find Him. Oh, how He wants to be found. Until you experience this pleasure, you’ll never really understand it. Once you have, you’ll never again be without it.

Pray with me:

Father, we’ve tasted of and seen Your goodness, and we hunger and thirst for more. We want to host You and Your presence and we want this for others. Let us encounter Your heart to such an extent that we are ruined for anything less. Come, show us Your glory, reveal Yourself to us. Thank You for letting Yourself be found by those who seek You wholeheartedly.

One day with You, Jesus, is so much better than a thousand spent anywhere else. May dwelling in Your presence be our highest aspiration, our greatest fascination, and the deepest longing of our hearts. Let all things pale in comparison to time spent in the pleasure of Your company.

Yahweh, humankind’s fallen nature, aided by satan and religion has distorted the perception of Your true nature. No longer seen as a loving Father, You are perceived as distant, uncaring, impossible to please, and as a harsh judge. May the coming “presence movement” shatter these misperceptions, just as surely as Christ did when He revealed Your nature 2000 years ago. And may Your Abba-heart be seen by a lost, hungry world. In Christ’s name we pray…Amen.

Today’s post was taken from my book The Pleasure of His Company.

Father God, we prostrate our hearts before you today. 

We see the danger coming. 

We see the storm clouds have risen. 

But we are not afraid, because we know there is a legion of angels surrounding us. 

God, we beseech you—Expose the fraud! God, fill the hearts of the whistleblowers that they be strong. 

Lest they lose their jobs—there’s a better one waiting.

Father God, let not money and security be that which keeps our mouths closed, but open our mouths to speak the truth as to what has happened. 

And hold those accountable who seek to destroy freedom in this great country that you have given us, God. 

In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak over this state—over this country—and over this whole world, Lord, that benefits from the freedom we experience, God. 

We speak in your name Jesus Christ, that you set things right, that you open up the secrets and you let us see and we hold those accountable, God in your name, who need to be held accountable, Lord. 

We speak these things in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

Pray for United States: AMERICA’S RETURN TO COVENANT

Editor’s note: This article is excerpted from the “15 Minutes to Him” ​​4/25 prayer of intercession leader Dutch Sheets.

【Background: In a recent service, I made the statement that prophets were going to a higher level of maturity and accuracy in their prophetic gifting. The anointing and revelation that restored this gift to the body of Christ, will now mature the gift to higher levels of hearing, discerning, and applying the information.

I did not say this as an indictment toward those moving in the prophetic – the prophets I know and listen to already operate at a very mature level. Nor am I singling them out – all of the anointings of Christ listed in Ephesians 4:11 must mature to higher levels. I said it in my message simply because I saw it. We desperately need the prophetic gift operating at a very high level to accomplish all the Holy Spirit intends in the coming season, and great grace is coming to facilitate this.

My long-time friend and colleague, Bob Long, heard me say this and it jogged his memory regarding a prophecy he gave a while back. He immediately sent me the word, along with some thoughts. This prophecy is both enlightening and encouraging:

A Call Back to Covenant

“‘We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelists to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit, join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled.’1 (Robert Hunt, Cape Henry, 1607)

Bob says, “Most scholars agree this was the first Protestant prayer – and the first time an intentional corporate prayer of COVENANT – was offered to God on the soil of America. It was heartfelt, deliberate and offered with appropriate spiritual protocol. The embryonic nation was now in true covenant with God. The wooden cross, planted in the sand beside their kneeling prayer, witnessed their dedication of a land to God and the covenant oath with which they did it.

“This foundational prophetic prayer is actually not well-known but its significance cannot be overstated. God has not forgotten this original covenant entered into with Him! Is He heartbroken with America? Yes. Angry? Perhaps. Is it too late for America to be saved? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Will there be an awakening in the hearts of the American people and a return to our original Covenant with God? YES!

“I was attending an annual leadership conference where Dutch Sheets was speaking,” he says. “On one particular night, there was a strong prophetic flow and release of intercession for our nation and the church in America. The word of the Lord came to me clearly; here is a portion of what I prophesied:

“‘I have not turned away from the covenant this nation made with Me, but this nation has turned away from it. The cry of a remnant in this generation has been heard, and I am raising up a new wave of prophets to call this nation back to America’s original covenant. You will see an increase in the number of trustworthy prophets arising in the land. You will see the level of the prophetic word released go to a higher level, and a nation will hear the word of the Lord calling it back to the covenant!

“‘I am also going to bring forth a new wave of evangelists in America. They will flow in apostolic understanding and an anointing for signs and wonders. There will be an increase in the number of true evangelists in this nation. There will be a company, even a wave of them, going after the hearts of a people. The call to redemption through My Son will be heard by many for the first time.

“‘I am shaking all things. I am raising up more who will join the remnant. I am raising up more who will increase the volume of My call to this nation to return to Covenant. I am raising up more of those who will reveal My Son to the multitudes, that hearts may turn to Me. A remnant shall be strengthened and a nation shall be shaken, that it may be awakened!’ 

“In the days after releasing that word,” Bob continues, “I prayed over it, asking God for more clarity and strategy. He led me to the above prayer, Robert Hunt’s prayer of Covenant in 1607, at the Cape Henry. I have studied all the events and history of America’s early pilgrims and settlers many times. Somehow, however, I had missed the reality that they had solemnly entered into a covenant with God regarding this nation!”

Bob challenges us, “Let each of us bring this covenant before the Lord individually! Let us also collectively use the covenant, along with this prophetic word of the Lord, and pray! God wants to send reinforcements so that together, WE HIS PEOPLE, might awaken a nation! 

We say yes, Lord!”
