Hello and thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15. We have a really special post planned for today.

Special Editorial Section: Larry Sparks: Fire of the Pentecost – Raise the Standard!
Message: Larry Sparks Date: Oct 6, 2022 Source: GH15
‘Tell My Ekklesia to raise the bar, and I’ll raise the anointing. Raise the bar, and I’ll pour out a fresh, new Pentecost greater than Acts 2.’ (
This is a prophetic statement that the Holy Spirit communicated to Pastor Tim Sheets (Oasis Church, Middletown, Ohio). Pastor Bill Johnson emphatically states that ‘Pentecost is the standard for church life.’ When we deviate from the standard, we rob believers of walking in their supernatural Holy Spirit inheritance…

Thank you for helping us save this country we love, and now we are changing gears, as the Lord asked. I think the repentance of the past 20+ years has gone deep into the soil of the nation, so He can start tearing down, uprooting something, and start planting the beautiful fruit of intercession in the soil.

On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees—and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month.

He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Critical Event: Aligning with Heavenly Will – Resolving the 3rd World War Crisis
【Background: The Beixi gas pipeline was cut off, and Europe was in an “energy dilemma”. The people of the European continent were preparing themselves for the winter by cutting down trees and accumulating coal; and the unstoppable “Russian-Ukrainian war” had a tendency to use nuclear weapons. Measured by the “great reset” plan promoted by the globalists, the shortage of artificial resources and the creation of more wars are in line with their intention to control by the “great reset”: to make the poor poorer, the rich richer, a “big government” with a concentration of wealth and power can be established. …Detailed Reading】

Editorial Special Section: Robert Heidler: Sukkot – A Celebration of Sukkot, Celebrating the Glory of God!
By : Robert Heidler Date : October 4, 2020
The climax of the cycle of God’s blessing is on the Feast of Tabernacles. This is when we enter God’s presence without fear. We know that every obstacle in our lives is removed. This is a time to experience God’s glory and fellowship with Him.
The Meaning of Sukkot
In Leviticus 23: 34-43 , God instructs people how to celebrate this holiday. God wants them to go out to the countryside, cut off the branches of the palm trees, the branches of the dense trees, and the willow branches by the river, take these branches home, build sheds, or temporarily shelter. Sukkot is the Hebrew name for this festival.
God instructed them: “Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
When God’s people came out of Egypt, they lived in a sukkot, and God told them to build a tabernacle for him so that His glory could come and live among them. (Exd. 25: 8 ) Therefore, the Feast of Tabernacles celebrates when they live in the shed, the glory of God lives with his people.
Generally speaking, this festival celebrates the following five tents:
- he First Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle of Moses: Exodus 33-35 describes Moses established the tabernacle, when he finished, the glory of God filled the tabernacle, and lived among the people of God in Him. Because the glory of God lives among them, they enjoy perfect provision. The manna fell from the sky every day for them to eat, their shoes were not worn out, and God met their every need. They are also fully protected and enjoy complete health. None of them is weak, sick or feeble. The glory of God brings God’s blessing!
- The Second Tabernacle: David’s Tabernacle: David set up a tabernacle for the ark and surrounded it with 247 praise, and the glory of God came. In Psalm 63:2 , David wrote about this tabernacle: “I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.“ God’s blessing poured out and the Israelites enjoyed unbelievable Prosper and defeated every enemy.
- The Third Tabernacle: Jesus: John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus—God lives Among his people—show His glory, release life, healing and salvation!
- The Fourth Tabernacle: The Church: Acts 15:16-17 describes the rebuilding of David’s tabernacle. God wants the church to be the place where the throne of God’s glory will be established in the praise of His people. When the church completes this call, the glory of God comes, and great blessings are released on the ground.
- The Fifth Tabernacle: The Eternal Tabernacle: Revelation 21:3-4 says: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Isaiah 4:5 says: ” Over everything the glory will be a canopy.”
The five tabernacles mentioned above all have one thing in common: in the tabernacle, God is with us—His glory—to live among men! From the place where God is present, God’s life and blessings are released to His people. That is the focus of Sukkot!
Experience His Glory
In order to understand the tabernacle, we must understand the glory of God. When we talk about glory, what do we mean?
Glory is the tangible and sensible manifestation of God’s presence. God always appears in every place, but at certain times, He reveals His presence in a way that our senses can recognize. In Moses’ tabernacle, the glory of God was revealed in shining clouds; on Mount Sinai, it was revealed by thunder and fire; sometimes God’s presence was evidenced by miracles and power actions, as in Elijah Feel the presence of God in a still small voice.
God uses many ways to show His presence. Whenever you feel the presence of God in a tangible way, you are experiencing His glory. In the presence of God, everything will change! In the presence of God, we find salvation, repentance, power, healing, supply, and fulfillment.
God did not make His glory a rare event. He wants us to seek His presence and live in His presence, so that His power and goodness can become our continuous experience!
Celebrate His Glory
The Feast of Tabernacles is a celebration of God’s glory, a time to remember His past glory, and a time to seek His face and experience His present glory. This is the time to call on God to pour out His glory freshly in the new year.
This week of the year, God wants His people to be with Him in the Tent of Meeting, and He promises special blessings to those who do so.
The Feast of Tabernacles is a time to delight in God, and it is also a time to celebrate God’s beauty. Leviticus 23:40: rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days“ Deuteronomy 16:14-15: “Be joyful at your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns. For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.”
Part of celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles is to bring gifts as an expression of gratitude to God. Deuteronomy 16:16-17 says: “No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.Do not see you empty-handed. “ When we express our gratitude by giving, our hearts were opened to receive more. The Feast of Tabernacles is also a time to celebrate God’s living among His people. God wants His glory to be part of our daily experience. God is with the Israelites in the wilderness tent. He lives on earth through Jesus, and today He continues to live in us through His spirit! When you celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, call on the glory of God to come and live with you. Here are a few ways to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles:
- Separate time and “live with God”
- Find time to meet God
- Take some time to relax and read the word of God
- Get along with family and friends
- Share His beautiful testimony
- Eat your favorite food
- Thank Him for blessing you
- Especially if you have children, build a shed or temporary shelter
Sukkot refers to any form of temporary shelter: it can be a tent, a unilateral shed, etc. It can be made of branches, fibers, wood or other materials. It’s design depicts the scene of the Israelites living in a temporary shelter when they left Egypt. It also depicts God coming and staying with them in the temporary shelter.
If you don’t have space to build a full-size sukkah, you can make a model sukkah. If you don’t have space to build an outdoor sukkah, you can use sheets and chairs to build a sukkah in your living room and let the whole family enter it. Have a picnic while telling them stories about the Tabernacle of God. You can also sleep in it, or even have a party in it, but no matter what you do, you must include three things:
- Remember that God lives with people
- Enjoy the joy of celebrating with God
- Look forward to the glory of God, ask God to live with you, and look forward to His presence visiting you when you seek Him!
Although you can celebrate this festival as a beautiful ceremony to commemorate God’s past deeds, it is also very meaningful, and you may feel blessed and satisfied after it is over. But if you only celebrate it as a ritual, you still lack the greatest blessing, because we have missed the incredible fact that God really wants to meet us in these celebrations.
Therefore, I encourage you to seek and expect the awesome presence of God to meet you when celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles!
Jesus’ Promise to the Feast of Tabernacles
John 7:37-38 says: “ On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
It is important to understand this passage of Jesus . One of the key elements of the Feast of Tabernacles is watering .
Every year on the Feast of Tabernacles, the high priest would make a prophetic move. He would draw water from Siloam Pool, bring it to the temple, and pour it on the altar. This symbolizes praying to the Lord for rain on the earth, and also symbolizing praying to the Lord for the outpouring of His spirit. This “spiritual rain” refers to Joel 2:28 : “I will pour out My spirit on all flesh, you Your children will prophesy, your elderly will have dreams, and the young will have visions.”
his action of taking water from Siloam Pond and sprinkling it is repeated every day of the festival, and then, on the last day of the festival-the “biggest day”-it reaches the climax of the whole week.
When the priest took water from Siloam Pool and brought it to the temple, a large crowd was crowded. The courtyard of the temple was full of people eager to watch this important ceremony. When the priest stood by the altar preparing to water the water, the crowd suddenly all Quieted down.
When the priest started to water, Jesus stood up and said loudly, “If anyone is thirsty, come to me and drink! He who believes in me will flow out of rivers of living water from his belly.”
That was the climax and the purpose of all festivals! When we walk with God and spend His annual cycle,
- He wants to take us to a place where we can experience His current life!
- This is why God has given us the day He has set, when we approach Jesus, He will release His life to us.
- He wants to remind us of His great deeds in the past to build our faith.
- He wants to remind us of His promises to the future to give us visions.
- He wants to accomplish the spiritual work in us so as to break the power of Satan.
- He wants us to be connected to the cycle of His life so that we can receive increasing blessings!
It is not a sin to miss the days set by God, because God did not want them to be a law. The New Testament teaches us not to let others judge how we celebrate (see 1 Corinthians 2:16 ). Getting the details of each celebration right is not the point. The important thing is meeting with God.
The day God has set allows our lives to be in focus with His timetable. It can break the enemy’s strategy of opposing us and keep us away from God. It allows us to “synchronize” with God’s rhythm, helps us not miss the window of opportunity, and allows God to lead us to a new level!

Special Editorial Section: Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce: The Angels Are Now Positioned
Message : Dutch Sheets; Tim Sheets, Chuck Pierce Date: October 7, 2022 Source : GH15
Hello and thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15. We have a really special post planned for today. I have two of my comrades that run with me and work with me – my brother, Tim Sheets, who’s just doing amazing things for our nation right now, hearing from God in so many ways and becoming a real trumpet here, and around the world for the Lord during this season. And then, Chuck Pierce, my friend and prophet from Texas who is truly a prophet to the nations. It’s a joy to have them on today. We’ve never tried this before – we’re going to go back and forth with our interview – if there’s a slight delay don’t worry about it, we’ll figure this out and we’ll get it done. We probably won’t stick to the 15-minute time frame, but we won’t go terribly long. So without taking any more time from these gentlemen, let me just hand it to Chuck and ask, “Chuck what’s on your heart to talk about today?”
Chuck Pierce begins to share:
“Well first of all, it’s an honor being with you two and, Dutch, I want to say that yesterday Destiny Image promoted our book, The Prophetic Destiny of a Nation. All of you who do not have that book, I want to encourage you to get it because it’s just as important today as it was when we [Dutch and Chuck] wrote it.
“Now, one thing I want to do, especially since Tim is here with us, is go back to something that occurred in December 2017. That was the month God visited me (I’ve tried to make a couple of slides to show you). I woke up and standing in the place where I seek the Lord was this incredible angelic being. I asked him who he was and he said that he was the angel of war for the harvest. He then showed me the world and timed the harvest ahead. Certain nations and certain states in America would all of a sudden have these incredible harvest sheaths of wheat rise up. Therefore, I could see where harvest was going to take place. Yet it was a war angel for harvest.
The first time I shared this was at Tim’s church in February 2018, because he is so adept in his understanding of angels. The angel and I had a conversation, which I was in fear and trembling, regarding how the Lord of the harvest would begin to train us for these next five years that we are in [2017-2022]. That brings me to this year that we’re soon entering into. This upcoming year is a year of divine recovery and the opening up of new supply lines. What a divine recovery means, is that we return to a state of authority where we are in the place of rulership, that we should be in, and especially all of us Kingdom people. We need to understand that.
Something happened when Dutch and I were in South Carolina at one of the very most important, sovereignly gathered meetings that we have been in, within the past year. We were at the Citadel (Charleston, SC) and it was the first time they had a Christian meeting come in from the outside. It was so important for our nation, for the [spiritual] war ahead. While we were there, Dutch was speaking and the Lord caught me up and showed me something happening in and around America. Now let me show you that [on the screen]. He showed me these four key war angels that had surrounded America. If you’ll notice, the one that aligns with Alaska and on the other side of Hawaii – these four angels were ruling angels from North, South, East, and West.
Then something happened: all of a sudden, 51 angels surrounded America. The Lord began speaking to me and said, ‘I am getting ready to commission change.’ The angels all had their swords in their sheaths, so they were not ready to be sent for war yet. And yet, I knew they had surrounded America. Now I want to encourage each one of you: America is now surrounded by a supernatural angelic force. Then He showed me that in April, things would start changing rapidly. Each one of these angels would be sent to a state and that state would come under a divine choice for the future. If that state didn’t choose, it would be harvest – one way or the other – because you’re harvested based upon what you’ve sown. All of a sudden that angel was going to start harvesting that state based upon what had been sown in the past season and what it had been aligned with.
So I want to encourage you, I know, Dutch, that you and Tim are so focused on America where I have remained focused more on China and Russia and many other nations. But I know when God calls me to America – and he usually calls me to be with you because I need that Apostolic covering. With that, I want to say to all of us: beginning in April, there will start to be great changes in harvesting America. That means, God will begin to make it very clear concerning what is happening in each state regarding how we have sown. Therefore, the prayers that you have been sending up – they have caused America to be surrounded by these angels. Now we are headed into a whole new season where we will be very aware, beginning in April of next year [2023].”
Dutch responds:
“That’s awesome, Chuck, and very encouraging – very encouraging. Tim, I’m going to put you on the spot here. I don’t think you’ve heard this – we didn’t talk about what Chuck was going to say or do today, but you have a great revelation regarding angels and you have great insights regarding the nation. Jump in and tell us what you’re seeing.”
Tim shares:
“I’ll take us back to when you and I as well as others were in Tucson, Arizona. I don’t remember what we called that tour, but it was four to five years ago, during the 2017 time frame. While in Tucson, I remember that after I preached, we were getting ready to make decrees. We were in a large sanctuary, it was like a box store they had made into a church, and I saw 51 angels, Chuck. I have talked about this so many times. They were all governmental angels. When they appear to me, they are wearing a purple sash – a ruling and reigning sash – so I can always identify them.
After I was done preaching, we were getting ready to make decrees in this big conference, and I saw them line up along the left side, the back wall, and along the right side. I said, ‘Holy Spirit, I’ve never seen this many governmental angels!’ I’ve seen them, but one or two, perhaps even three or four, but not 50. And He said to me, ‘There are 51, if you want to count.’ Well I didn’t dare count; I’m going to take His word for it! But I leaned over and said to Dutch, ‘The governmental angels are here.’ I asked Holy Spirit, ‘Why are they here?’ He responded, ‘They’re here to get their assignment. There are 51, one for each state plus Washington, DC.’ We began to make decrees over the states and as we listed each state (this must have been a two-hour session of prayers and decrees that afternoon), making the decrees over each one, that particular state-angel would leave, until I finally saw them all depart except for Washington, DC. We then concentrated on that region, decreeing the governmental authority of King Jesus into the government there; then that angel left.
Chuck, you’re saying – 51 angels are surrounding the United States. I believe they are probably the governmental angels that are fueled by the decrees of the King’s Ekklesia, His warring saints – His remnant. The angels take that decree as an assignment. If you think about all the assignment decrees the Ekklesias have made just in that the past five years, or the prayers, or even the prophetic words that are now synergizing together under Holy Spirit leadership – the governmental angels are assisting in each state.
I believe there is a governmental angel assigned to each Ekklesia in each state. We’re coming to the point where I believe we can say in all 50 states, there is a functioning Ekklesia. It’s not conceptual anymore. In other words, we’re not just teaching what the Ekklesia is. I believe a governmental angel is assigned to each of these Ekklesias – maybe even several – so that the intention, calling, and purpose of the Lord for that particular region or state, that the Ekklesia is taking on that identity and cause, and the government angels are beginning to assist in those decrees. All of us together are also focusing our decrees and prayers on Washington DC, which again, these angels can stir and answer.
Then, there’s another level to this, because at the beginning of summer, I began to sense a different level or order of angels that I’ve never experienced before. I’ve experienced seeing the governmental angels for 15 years, and also seeing other divisions of angels. But I’ve never experienced this particular order of angels.
During the beginning of the summer, I began to share regarding this, but I also began to experience the presence of a very powerful angel that I’ve never seen before. I received a prophetic word about this angel. Long story short, I came to know that it was a seraphim. This is the highest order of angels. They’re the most powerful order of angels. Most theologians believe that Michael and Gabriel, although they are archangels and have additional powers and authority, are also in this order. The seraphim are those angels that minister in the throne room and carry the presence of the Lord. The Lord can commission them from the throne room to go and be part of what He’s doing in the earth realm, helping the Ekklesias.
Gabriel is all over the Scriptures and we also see this mentioned in the book of Daniel. The angels were fighting to get the message through as well as the decrees that were made by Daniel. He was praying and decreeing that the prophecy would come to pass. God, from the throne room of heaven, commissioned a seraphim who was in the Throne Room – Gabriel – to go and bring the promise to pass. Gabriel battled, what I believe, is a fallen seraphim, the Prince of Persia. I believe Lucifer promotes the fallen seraphim to positions of rule or thrones in regions. So Gabriel comes and the battle is intense, but stalemated. Father then speaks to another seraphim (Michael) to go and take care of this. Michael and his angels did – similar to what God did when Lucifer fell with one-third of the Angels and some of the seraphim that went with him. God didn’t get involved in that. He didn’t, Holy Spirit didn’t, Jesus didn’t. It wasn’t as if they were overly concerned. They turned to the seraphim, Michael, and said, ‘Michael, you and your angels – take care of this.’
Regarding the governmental angels that have been assisting us for five or six years now, I feel that there is coming another level of high-ranking angels who are coming to assist them. Now regarding the functioning decrees of an Ekklesia, to some of these governing Ekklesias, I believe God’s going to release seraphim to help them as needed, and I believe DC is part of that target. I sense that the governmental angels and the seraphim are going to begin to take out the principalities over that city. I feel that’s the goal.
So I’m just saying, about that same time, we saw the 51 governmental angels (as Chuck mentioned), and God is saying, ‘Now I’m going to put the highest ranking angels I have and commission them on assignments with my governmental angels and other angels, as well as with my Ekklesia. I believe we are going to win some awesome victories, preparing the way for an awesome harvest.”
Dutch responds:
“Chuck, do you want to jump back in?”
Chuck replies:
“I just want to say a couple of things. First of all, I’ve got that ‘Holy Spirit shake thing’ going on in me. What we’re doing right here is so important for all to hear because it’s something that is confirmed by the mouth of two witnesses. Tim saw the angels being sent. I saw them positioned around America, and they’re carrying the decrees of the saints. They’re coming to war over the harvest of America. If you’re listening from another nation, you will begin to see the same thing I saw in December 2017 where I saw that the nations would actually start shifting into their harvest realm. This is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen.
“I want to end by saying, ‘Tim, I’ve been reading in Isaiah right now, and I think of Isaiah’s visitation with the seraphim. It said, ‘In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord’ because the seraphim caught him up and showed him a dimension of what would happen. There’s another passage in Isaiah 6 where it talks about how the stump would come alive. One of the Hebrew meanings of this year, is the stump begins to come alive again. So what these angels are going to do is find the stump in each place [state] so they can start attempting to bring life from it. If life will not come forth, then I think everybody in that state will recognize there’s something greatly wrong in their state. Dutch I want to encourage you and say that Jerusalem, our America, is being surrounded now, and we are in a time of great change. It’s just like what Isaiah said and you can interpret this yourself. ‘In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord.’ So get ready – there’s going to be visible reckoning that we will fully recognize, and there will not be confusion over it.”
Dutch shares:
“Let me just jump in for a minute and and then I’ll ask both of you to pray and release anything prophetically you might have. But in this season, I keep coming back to the dream about the baseball game – World Seers Series – that showed us the four quarters of 2022. Of course, the last quarter is when the Lord revealed the enemy who was pitching for the team as Baal-zephon. In the dream, we eliminated the voice of that spirit and his ability to rule America. Of course, there’s been a 15-year a battle by the praying Church – repentance, decrees, prayer assignments, and of course, the ending of Roe versus Wade – to disempower that spirit over America. But in the dream, what is significant to me that relates to this conversation is the umpires were aligned with the adversary. They were cheating in order to help the powers of darkness defeat the church. At a certain point in this last quarter, the umpire was expelled from the game. The home plate umpire and Michael the Archangel replaced him. I feel this is all saying – it’s all similar in the sense that God is saying we’re moving into a season now where He’s releasing these high-level angelic beings – probably led by Michael – to war on our behalf and enter the game – to call the game, to release justice and help turn the nation. That was the end goal and result of the series. I believe these two encounters, what God’s been saying to you both, is encouraging us that we are on schedule and our prayers and decrees are working. God is listening and they are being used to release this angelic activity. As Chuck says, it’s not just for America. It’s about the nations of the earth.”
“I was very impacted by your statement, Chuck, about divine recovery, this being a time of divine recovery. Maybe we should pray into that, maybe we should just ask the Lord for that. Feel free to share before we pray regarding what that might mean, or prophesy into it. When he’s finished, Tim, if you would, also jump in.”
Chuck begins to share, then prays:
“I think I’ll just prophesy, because regarding 51, that means there’s going to be a testimony of the grace that has been developing. This will create a staking of the claim for each state and territory. That’s what that number means. I decree right now that we are in agreement with what we saw, and some of you are wondering, what will become of me? I’ll tell you what will happen: you will see angelic movement, because they are now positioned. Tim saw them. I had no idea about that, but knew that all of a sudden, that word burned as a word of knowledge. There were 51 of the angels that would be sent and now I believe there’s seraphim, based upon what you said, and they will be timed like you said – in quarters starting in April. We need to watch how our nation focuses beginning in April. We’ll have four quarters that will lead us back to the greatest change we have ever known.
“So Lord, we come into agreement. Father, I know that when You reveal, You also conceal, and You also establish. Father, You have revealed this by the mouth of two witnesses, and we say, ‘Let it begin!” Time it as You have shown us through the baseball game dream. Now, Father, we loose this into motion and come into agreement with You.”
Tim prays:
“Amen. Our hearts and faith cry out and we say, ‘Welcome Lord Sabaoth, the Lord of angel armies, to orchestrate the plans of heaven on the earth, energizing the Ekklesias and adding the assistance of Your armies
– government angels, seraphim the the mighty fiery ones that strike with power. And even as a seraphim in years gone by, took out the voice of Zechariah for a time, we declare that the angels are taking out the communication systems of the adversary, and that system will be replaced by a system of truth declared into this world by the functioning Ekklesia led by Lord Sabaoth. Holy Spirit, in the greatest outpouring that we’ve ever seen, is leading us into the greatest harvest we have ever seen. So we, the Ekklesia, say, ‘Welcome Lord Sabaoth, welcome, angel armies. Welcome from the Throne Room, commissioned one, assisting us in great victory. We declare this in Jesus’ name, amen.’”
Dutch prays:
“Amen. And Lord, I agree, we all agree – all of those joining us on this post today agree this shall be so. We’ve moved into this new season. We release it now by faith, all around this nation and the nations of the earth. In the powerful name of Jesus, amen.
“Anything else, Chuck? You want to jump in?”
Chuck: “I’m just amazed. I think that would be the word.”
Dutch: “Thank you both. What a great post. I know we rushed through these things quickly but that’s okay.
“Friends, thank all of you for joining us. It’s a joy to have you with us every day and we look forward to seeing you again.”

Special Editorial Section: Larry Sparks: Fire of the Pentecost – Raise the Standard!
Message: Larry Sparks Date: Oct 6, 2022 Source: GH15
‘Tell My Ekklesia to raise the bar, and I’ll raise the anointing. Raise the bar, and I’ll pour out a fresh, new Pentecost greater than Acts 2.’
This is a prophetic statement that the Holy Spirit communicated to Pastor Tim Sheets (Oasis Church, Middletown, Ohio). Pastor Bill Johnson emphatically states that ‘Pentecost is the standard for church life.’ When we deviate from the standard, we rob believers of walking in their supernatural Holy Spirit inheritance…
“Scripture tells me that ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8). It tells me that it is possible for someone’s shadow to heal the sick, for anointed pieces of clothing to deliver the demonized, and for extraordinary miracles to be performed by the hands of ordinary people (see Acts 5:15; 19:11-12). It tells me that it’s possible for entire cities and regions to come to repentance (see John 3:6, Acts 8:8). Jesus Himself provokes us to believe for ‘greater works’ (John 14:12). But there is one thing the Bible does not tell me: ‘God stopped moving in power.’ I cover this extensively in my book Accessing the Greater Glory, but in short, there is no solid theological argument to legitimately affirm the ceasing of the supernatural power of God (commonly called cessationism). Often, critics of the continuing move of the Spirit, especially through power gifts of tongues, healing, and prophecy, cite that these unusual demonstrations of God ceased when the canon of Scripture was closed, and the last apostle died. We are not claiming any additions to the canon of Scripture, nor do we assert that any leader today, especially those who don the title ‘apostle,’ come anywhere close to the uniqueness established by the original twelve apostles. We simply believe that Jesus established a timeless model that the early church boldly demonstrated and the church today has an invitation to step into.
Doing Things God’s Way
‘If we want a genuine revival, we will have to do things God’s way,’ says John Kilpatrick
We have tried Christianity our way, and it hasn’t worked. My friend, revivalist, and author Jessi Green encourages people to perform an honest evaluation on their faith and ask: ‘Is your Christianity working?’ When I consider where we are right now in history, I am convinced that contemporary Christianity hasn’t performed up to the standard set in the Book of Acts. God has graciously blessed us with a level of success, seeing people genuinely converted. He is so kind, gracious, and merciful. I celebrate all the true progress that has been made. But as the world grows darker and society continues to plummet into unspeakable depths of chaos and depravity, we become increasingly aware that the solution is not trying to repackage the world using Christian jargon. They simply don’t want it.
Isaiah 60:2 speaks of people who are under the influence of ‘deep’ or thick darkness. This certainly speaks of the innumerable souls who wander through life without Christ, without hope. They are bombarded with darkness day after day. When they cross the threshold into our churches, they do not want Hollywood or Broadway. They don’t want Christian leaders to insult them by trying to give them a worldly church. We have been entrusted with the otherworldly in the Person of the Holy Spirit; let’s freely give as we have freely received. I repeat, people who don’t know Jesus, or have moved away from Christianity, are not seeking entertainment; they groan to encounter the real and living presence of God…
Pentecost Looks Like Something
The Lord is calling us to raise the standard so that we can witness a greater demonstration of Holy Spirit anointing and power in our day. If we have low expectations for Christianity, we will continue to settle for a low demonstration. But what if we actually believed that the Book of Acts gave us a standard for what life should be like? What if Pentecost was the standard for Christianity throughout all periods in history, not just the first-century Church?
This book is a journey back to the priorities of the early Church, the priorities of Pentecost, as I am convinced Pentecost will serve as a prophetic blueprint for the end-time Church. We must recapture the fire that burned in the first three hundred years of Christianity if we are going to step into the greater works that Jesus announced would be possible to those filled with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus had a clear vision of what the Church should look like prior to His return. Paul articulates this to the Church in Ephesus by giving us this beautiful picture of what the Son of God is searching for at His Second Coming: ‘So that He might sanctify her [the Church, His Bride], having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, that He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless’ (Ephesians 5:26-27 NASB). Meditate on that one stunning phrase: ‘the Church in all her glory.’ Wow! He is not coming back for something that is breaking down and falling apart. Pastor Kim Owens boldly declares that ‘Jesus is coming back for a Church that’s in revival.’ On the basis of Ephesians 5, I would agree with that statement. He is coming back for a people that are filled with glory!
We need to define Pentecost clearly if we are going to use it as the standard and model for Christianity today. After all, many hear the word Pentecost and think of either a denomination or a certain ‘flavor’ of Christianity. Pentecost is not a personality. Pentecost is not a preference or style of church. Pentecost is not a denomination. Pentecost was not a dispensation or era. Pentecost was not in the back room; it was front and center. Pentecost was the way of life for the early Church. And Pentecost introduces us to the more of God that is available now.
Many believers today are living like the disciples in Acts 19. They simply do not know there is more of God for them to experience:
‘And it happened while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples, he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit”’ (Acts 19:1-2).
By using the phrase ‘there is more,’ I am not encouraging you to go outside the confines of Scripture to seek for some unbiblical experience. Far from it. For too long we have read the Bible at a distance, thinking such supernatural experiences were exclusive to the Bible days. The canon is closed, but God has not changed. When did we officially exit the so-called Bible days?
Francis Chan wrote in his prophetic book Letters to the Church that ‘We have become too easily satisfied. We are content if a person leaves [church] pleased. God wants them awed.’ It’s time for a generation to experience a God who leaves us undone in breathless awe and wonder. Perhaps we have not seen more of these kinds of experiences in our present day because we have not even considered them as an option. Thus, we have comfortably resigned ourselves to a status quo spiritual existence, all the while longing inside for someone to provoke us to pursue the more.
The great British preacher and orator Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones poignantly reminded us that ‘We were never meant to be content with a little.’ My friend, there is more. It’s available, and it’s accessible!”

Editorial Special Section: Ron Sawka: Billion-Soul Harvest? The Two Indispensables
Message: Ron Sawka Date: October 5, 2022 Chinese Translation / Source: Ron Sawka Ministries
“‘Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.’ So, he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped” (Rev. 14:15–16).
“Saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day’” (Matt. 20:12).
Lately it seems that every time I speak, I find myself talking about “end-time harvest,” or the “billion-soul harvest.” I believe the term “billion-soul harvest” comes from a prophecy from the late Bob Jones, a well-known prophet with ties to both International House of Prayer (IHOP) and Morning Star Ministries. The concept of a great end-time harvest is spoken of repeatedly in scripture. In particular, I am amazed at the parable Jesus spoke about harvesters (Matt. 20:1–16). This parable is a bit difficult to understand, but one thing is clear—those who entered and labored only in the final hour received as much as those who labored from early morning on (Matt. 20:12).
And many Bible scholars point to the book of Revelation where the signal is given and the harvest of the world is reaped in an accelerated fashion. We read, “‘Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.’ So, he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped” (Rev. 14:15–16).
So the concept of a great and speedy (as in one- or two generations) end-time harvest is a common and agreed-upon theme in scripture. Another concept that supports this is the Feast of Tabernacles. Some scholars note that Jesus’s death and resurrection was the completion of the Feast of Passover, and that the pouring out of the Holy Spirit beginning in Acts 2 was the completion of the Feast of Pentecost. What is left is the Feast of Tabernacles. This feast takes place during harvest and spiritually points to a great, great end-time harvest.
It is so fitting that now—this year/Hebrew year 5783—we, God’s ekklesia—His church—seem to be crossing over into the beginning of the fullness of that harvest. We have all known that God used Covid as a special time to prepare His church. He told us to keep a close eye on the feasts. We have done that for the past 2 1/2 years. It seems this year’s Passover was a time of release of new anointing. And now the Feast of Tabernacles is a crossing over into this harvest.
That being said, what do we need in order to take part in the harvest? There are two things: warfare anointing, and being a friend of God. First, I believe we receive a warfare anointing through prophetic activation. In other words, as we are activated to prophesy and then begin to move in it, the prophetic anointing comes upon us. It is a warfare anointing (see King Saul, and better yet—King David). A boldness and authority come because the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus (Rev. 19:10). Jesus certainly moved in boldness and authority, and so will you.
Second, be a friend to God. This is why God created man. He longs for relationship with us. He wants to be our friend and for us to be His friend. This is what the Feast of Tabernacles is all about. People built a temporary booth. It was kind of “activation” that God wants to dwell with us. He doesn’t only want my praise and worship during services. He doesn’t only want me to “serve Him” through ministry. He also wants to be my friend. He wants my thoughts to be occupied with Him. He wants to walk with us as friends, just like He walked with Enoch. The more He is my friend, the more I will find that everything I do speeds up and increases for His glory.

Editorial Special Section: Nita Johnson: Changing Gears – From Confession to Repentance to Rebuilding America
Editor’s Note: This article is corroborated with the August 26th message of Dutch Sheet’s “Give Him Fifteen Minutes” – the gears for shifting are starting to turn (please click here to read ). This is God’s message of breakthrough in America through His faithful servants. At this moment, the Ekklesia Church stands aligned with God and is more ready than ever to welcome the great revival of God’s glory!
【Share by Nita】
Thank you for helping us save this country we love, and now we are changing gears, as the Lord asked. I think the repentance of the past 20+ years has gone deep into the soil of the nation, so He can start tearing down, uprooting something, and start planting the beautiful fruit of intercession in the soil.
We pray because God asks us to pray so He can make the impossible possible, and He is shaking those who need to be shaken. He is shaking the structure, shaking the foundation. He is shaking this country, and the nations of the world need to be shaken off in order to shake the New World Order out of their small ball game.
At least for a while, I hope some of these people (people of the New World Order) will visit some good, conservative, and preferably even Christian judges who can help them understand what they’re doing Wrong things, and evil motives. How wonderful it would be if they could turn evil into righteousness, or at least help us to more easily uproot the evil tares they once planted! But even if these things didn’t happen, we know that we still have a Lord who knows everything!
The Lord is always ahead of what we are hearing
I can’t tell you how many times when we first started a meeting some people liked to do research and they kept relaying what was going on in the news media, but most of the time the Lord was always one step ahead of what they heard. So it makes us take a step forward with hope, because it’s worth it. As we go forward, and then, look back at the wisdom of God following us, and after He has led us into a place of safety, it is a wonderful feeling to see that He has torn down what must be torn down.
He loves America, He has no plans to retreat, to let go, I really don’t care what other people say, all I care about is what the Lord says, and I’m sure you do too. So we took the sword of the Lord, cut down the tares, and cut across the fields, we came to the forest, we came to the valley, we climbed the mountain, and we looked back at the valley we just came from, and we were amazed!
We marvel at what He has done, He is a miracle, His love is a miracle. He is so gentle, He is so gracious, His wisdom is so far-reaching, it is such a privilege and a great privilege to serve Him. I am sure that you will agree with what I have said.
God’s “Thank You” to You
We never want you to question the value of your prayers, they are. When we pray humbly out of love with a pure heart out of God’s will. We will see time and time again that in the most unlikely of circumstances, His will is done.
We pray and He works. When we’ve done our best, standing before the throne in heaven, when He looks at you, looks into your heart, He’s very, very excited, and He says to you, “Very good, very good, good and faithful servant Man, thank you! “ He does it all the time, not just in the bible, He really does it all the time, I can’t tell you how many times I go into a place where there’s a mirror hanging on the wall up, I see “thank you “ in nice italics or I see a heart and “thank you “ in bold print goes through that heart. I know what He’s going to say, and what He’s going to say is what I’m going to say to you tonight, “Thank you .”
Thank you for believing, thank you for your prayers, thank you for your sacrifices. Thank you for bringing your doubts to the altar and asking Him to send fire on lukewarm doubts and burn beautiful gold. Then keep moving forward, toward the task you have been called to, until we see His will done. Thank you for not giving up.
Thank you for not listening to the media, they are here to convince you that a certain group of people has more power to control others in this field than others. They’re here to convince you, if you happen to be a conservative or a Republican or a Christian, they’re here to convince you that no matter what you do, you can’t bring about any change, we (the enemies) will win.
But you don’t listen to what they say, you just smile, shake your head, walk away, and say, “Thank the Lord for saying things like that because they didn’t know you. “ Don’t give up, don’t give up, never Give up on God because He will never give up on you. Praise God!
More than 20 years of “confession and repentance” changed history
Now what God requires of us is to put “confession and repentance ” at the lowest level, and let God lead “confession and repentance “ through His knowledge of things . Our (prayer) has always been very effective, and in more than 20 years, we have changed history. You have changed two hundred years of our country’s history, more than two hundred years of history.
23 years of prayer to wash away the sins of more than 200 years of history, that is an incredible thing, God is the judge of the whole earth, He is willing to wash away sin, willing to forgive, and start to heal the earth – the greatest nation in the world. The land, after more than two hundred years, whether it is right or wrong, He is willing to accept our sacrifices, you are willing to offer “confession and repentance “ to Him, you are willing to cover the sins of bloodshed, confess your sins You have repented for more than 20 years, and you have paid a lot. You may have experienced a lot of things that you did not need to experience, if not to prevent the judgment from happening! But you did hinder judgment, and you paid the price. I am willing to make amends for anything you have endured and endured for My will to be done.
America will get better
When a doctor walks into your child’s room, as soon as he walks in, you know it’s right to see the doctor, and that’s exactly what your child needs. However, as far as you know, we always have ambivalence, what the hell is going on? You might even look at your paycheck to see if you can afford the medical bills. But, because he is your child, you are willing to make any sacrifice to make that child better. But when that doctor is about to leave his office, and he has told you about his current treatment plan and told you that your child will be fine, it gives you the comfort that you can deeply Breathe a sigh of relief.
I think the Lord Himself is a bit like that father who sent intercessors – “teams of doctors “ out there to perform surgery for his children – “America “ , He was watching, He was listening, He was doing His part, you do your part, He’s never breathless waiting because He knows you’ll be faithful. However, He continued to pour out His grace on the intercessors until the patient was fully recovered. And, when that patient made a full recovery, I thought he would sit in his comfortable chair, and he would say to himself, how grateful I am for that “team of doctors . “
God was very happy, God took His daughter – America to the team of doctors and they began to pray, prayer turned into surgery, and America was healed. I am so grateful, and I think God feels the same way as the grateful parents, what a right decision to take their child to see the doctor! And the child gradually got better.
Intercessors pay the price
Today is not like 1776 or any age of war, where the bloodshed of war was needed to bring about the transformation the country needed. However, the pressure today is on the intercessors, and they need to pay the price! Still paying the price to pray when it’s inconvenient to pray, and when you don’t feel like praying, still say yes to God instead of going to sleep. When it feels easier to give up, still choose to believe. With everything about us, the fibers of our whole being are challenged.
But when we are willing to take on the challenge, in our hearts we make up our minds, we do not change, we will stand, we bravely hold the stone in our hands, we put our faith in our hearts, our faces show Resolve, we say to all the powers that want to destroy this country, maybe you aspire to do so, but the one in us is greater than the one in the world.
So when the conflict is high, know your greatest wisdom, the wisdom will turn to the enemy army, find their confidence, take their confidence, become your own. But know that with all your drills, all your routines, all your fears, even all your stubbornness, you can’t destroy what God says you can’t.
So we stand for His daughter, America, and our home, America. We hold fast to the country our ancestors bought back for us with their own blood. We love this country and we are not ashamed of her.
In preparation for the gathering of eagles, I met some true love of God Christians who had been taught that you should not pray for your country, contrary to what the Bible says. So I don’t know why these people can teach others with such teachings. We should pray for our country so we can live in peace. So loving America is not sin, but wisdom. It is not Israel’s sin to love Israel, it is wisdom to love Israel. But to the wisdom of loving Israel, they also needed to add love for the Messiah. For Christians, we have done it. We put the love of the Messiah on our agenda, and actually put Him first, so He planted America in us or He planted us in America, either way, so stand up, be Stand up, I say stand up again.
When God who made heaven and earth says so, we are free to listen and act. I don’t care about people who’ve been in ministry for 50 or 60 years and if they say you shouldn’t love America and you shouldn’t pray for America, you know, they might think it’s good to pray for Africa or Europe, it’s just Do not pray for America. I don’t quite understand this, but if they say something like that, don’t get mad at them, don’t scold them, just smile, praise the Lord, and walk away because they must have misunderstood something. And, because your hand is on His arm when you walk away, He is the Light, He is our God. They will eventually understand that when God redeemed us as a nation that is willing (to love Him), then praying for America, loving America, is pleasing to your Father! Now I can say more, but I want to give Ricci a chance to say something.

Thanks. It’s really beautiful! You know, I share my love for this country with you, and you all have that love, and so does Mommy. You know, just a few days ago, I was talking to a friend about praying for the president, and they had a friend who made a harsh critique of President Trump, and I said if they were praying for him, It would be impossible to judge him like that. Because when you pray for someone, you get a kind of love for them.
The same is true for the country, with the same hope. As you pray for this country, as long as you gain a true love and appreciation for this country, you will want to know more about this country. We’ll go back to 1776, to the Constitution, to read the documents left by our founding ancestors, because you want to know the origin story about the birth of this nation’s destiny.
It is very important that we maintain this level of love for our country. It has been very difficult for us over the past few years as we confess our sins and pray for our country because we saw what was being done in the name of our country. But it’s kind of like a prodigal son, you know, when our kids go away from the flock and get lost, we might be hurting a lot for what our kids do, but when they come home, all they do It’s like they’re all gone and you just love them.
You’re so grateful they’re back, you’re so grateful they’re coming home. So, our confession and repentance is to pave the way for the prodigal son to go home and find his destiny and purpose. So that he can fulfill that destiny to the fullest.
So I’m sharing my mother’s love for this country, because we’ve prayed for her for so long, but I’m so excited to see how the Lord is changing ranks at this moment, because we’ve been praying on our knees for 22 years , 23 years, and it’s so exciting for me to see God say I need you to start rebuilding!
When you know, my mom called me last night to share this with me, and I was like, what is this? I don’t know the difference, all I know is repentance, intercession, and spiritual warfare. Here’s what I know because I’ve been doing this for almost half my life. So she said, the Lord said we need to change grades. She sent me some documents, I believe she will explain the information in detail with you, and when she is done, I will continue to share.
But today all I did was pray and I sat before the Lord and I grabbed hold of God and I said: Please show me what you are saying, because when the Lord speaks to the prophets, it is our duty to seek Him by faith that can be practiced.
Daniel 9, when the time for the fulfillment of Jeremiah’s prophetic prophecy drew near, that’s what he (Daniel) did, he came to the Lord, he began to confess his sins and repent, so if there was any small , the last thing will hinder the fulfillment of that prophecy, and he will solve it. When a prophet speaks, we have a responsibility to come to the Lord and listen to His heart so that our faith can be stirred up and fired up so we can step in (in that prophetic prophecy) and do what God says.
So that’s exactly what I did this morning. I prayed, I worshiped Him, and then I started to go into prayer in the spirit, and while I was praying, the words of my prayer started to get even stronger, and then went into a whole different direction. And I, you know I feel like in that prayer, I got into a mission.
Then, for the intercessors, the Lord began to speak to me. He started talking to me about what they (the intercessors) have been through these 22, 23 years, no matter how long you’ve been with us. He began to show me the hearts of the intercessors, and the pain in their hearts, and their hearts were almost broken because of the weight of intercession they had been bearing for so long. He began to show me their knees, which were almost worn out because they were on their knees countless times in prayer.
He started showing me that their backs were bent because they spent so much time bending over to pray. Then, in the next moment, when the intercessors were saying, I don’t know if my body can go on, not because their spirits don’t want to, but because of the pressure they’re experiencing on their bodies. Boom, here comes the Lord, He takes me over this country, into the sky like woven dots, and starts showing me everything in living color, that’s what mom will share with you tonight.
So I encourage you, if you have any doubts that this is the direction the Lord has called us to go, if you are wondering, I don’t know if I can do it. Come to the Lord and let Him kindle your faith. Because as prayers, our next step is to rebuild this nation, and it must be done through prayer. We will lay the foundation in prayer, laying His foundation.
If we go through the process of rebuilding through prayer, it will be much more powerful and more effective if we do it through prayer instead of waiting for someone to build. It is the beauty of being an intercessor if the foundation is laid by the intercessors so that the nation can stand when it faces trials. We lay the foundations, we forge the canyons, we cross the barriers, we break the barriers. So the kingdom of heaven can come in a powerful way.
I understand it’s hard when hearing something new and I always encourage them to pray, but this time, it was the Lord who asked me to see it with my own eyes and my spirit was lit in full accord with it. This is a lesson He is going to give me, so I go ahead and give this to my mom for her to share.

Jewish Nation: The First group to pray for in praying for America
There are two groups of people that are very important when you pray for America, and that is the church and the Jewish people. I can tell you very honestly, many years ago, maybe 25 years ago, or more, the Lord told me: Talk about Israel and the Jewish nation. We’re Jewish, you know that. But it’s not because we’re Jewish that He speaks to us that way. He speaks to us because we are Christians. And what He said was, I will take care of those who take care of the Jews. This is a huge commitment. So, all over America, we have Christians praying for the salvation of the Jews, for their needs to be met, for their eyes to be opened to know the truth…and so on.
So the Lord heard these prayers, but He was also looking at the intercessors, He wrote it down on paper, wrote it down, yes, a certain lady prayed for Israel again today, very good! He also went through the nation’s list of people and made a positive note on their daily prayer list for Israel and the Jewish people. They (the Jewish people) are first, always first, that’s his decision. As Christians, we have to respect this because we love Jesus.
The Church: The Second Important Group to Pray for in praying for America
The second group of people is the church. God wants to see the church truly awakened. He loves to see intercessors come out, but He wants to see the church truly awakened. I would like to encourage you to pray for churches around the world, especially for churches in the United States. If God can touch American churches, American churches will touch the world.
As you pray for the church, pray for these:
- Pray that they have the confidence to come out and grow;
- Pray that they will see God’s vision and see the part they need to fulfill;
- Pray that they will be strong in righteousness, love, and holiness.
- Pray that the church will be a humble people, giving glory to God, giving their lives to the Word and giving all they have to live for Christ. And there will be a group of intercessors, praying for Israel, praying for the salvation of Israel.
- Pray for the church to be conformed to the image of Christ and pray for sinners in both nations, so that they too may awaken to the beauty of Christ and dedicate their lives to Him. You are to pray that prayer more today than ever before, because until we completely kick out the seed under the legions of evil, the people of the world race are Not safe, and they don’t have the umbrella of knowledge of Christ over their heads to cover them. The chances of them falling into false teachings or false beliefs and aligning with lies are enormous.
- Pray that their hearts will be drawn to the gospel.
- Pray that the church will be kind to the unsaved, so that we may reflect the image of Christ to the unsaved.
- Pray that the unsaved in America can observe the power centers around them and throughout the nation, and discern who is telling the truth and who is not. Don’t look at what they are doing now, look at their past history. Did what they say now prove to be true in their history? If not, don’t trust them. Let them prove themselves to you.
- Pray for the government that God is going to bring to this country. This government loves justice, loves justice, and believes in the teachings of the Bible, which is the platform the conservatives built on. You have a few days left to make choices, but I do want to strongly encourage you to do what I suggest. I will tell you to pray for Democrats or Republicans, but as a prophet I have to tell you the truth: The Democrats are no longer the party of the 30s, 40s, it is communism. They continue to hide the truth until they are empowered enough to stop hiding. (reveal their true colors) So, really, that’s what you have to believe, and don’t help them, don’t keep them in your own defense, Protect them, because it’s not about whether we love them or not Whether we love America and whether we are willing to sacrifice our lives for America is about whether the choices we make about our government are pleasing to God. So we pray for the church, we pray for the government, and we pray that God will give us a righteous government that will despise all evil and fight for all righteousness! They will be a group of real men or women of God who see those from the smallest to the largest (among the people) and they find the love that should be shown to them (the people) in leadership positions.
- Pray for the Lord to intervene in our judicial system and restore it to its original purity.
- Pray that this country will choose to be governed by the law, not the rule of law established by the power of the devil and covered up, and that the right hand of the rule of law is the word of God, and the left hand is the regulations of the constitution.
- Pray for the Constitution, and ask the Lord to protect it because the Democrats really want to destroy it. If they do, they (Democrats) can own America, so please pray that way.
- You are free to pray for the economy. It sounds to me like God is already intervening in something huge, I thought it would take years for him to intervene, and we’ve been praying about this for less than a year, and he’s already intervening, giving us a strong economy to meet the needs of the people.
- Thank God for removing the Federal Reserve system and the IRS. He knows and understands prayers like this, you don’t need to explain it to Him, I just find it interesting, you know, when someone prays like this. For example, a friend of your family, is asking you to pray for a puppy – and one of his feet is hurted and infected, so you bring him into prayer, and you say, Lord, one of my little buddies is hurting, because his feet were inflected and the infection was obviously going into his shoulder bone, we took him to the vet and the vet showed us How deep the infection. That is a serious situation. Lord, please don’t forget that we want You to go into where it’s infected and get the infection out. We hope that You can touch him so that the whole infected area can be healed. Heal its skin, because that’s where the infection is. Lord, please take away the pain in this little thing! Now, you think you need to explain all this to God, but before you can finish explaining your dog’s problems to Him, God may have rescued him and met all his needs, not by your prayers in these words. He is a very wise God! We often come to Him with requests, and we get to the very nuanced parts, and not only give Him the problem, but the solution! I can’t tell you how, over the years, in my days with the Lord, and in my life as an intercessor, I’ve continually rediscovered the reality that God has almost never used Any of my suggestions. He is so much greater, so much higher, so much better than my suggestion! If I just let him do what He wants to do, as He wants to do. I can assure you, He’s not going to stand there with a medical tool in his hand and say, well, now you want to tell me what to do here? I’ve brought a lot of extra tools if you need them. But you’re going to tell me what tool to use and where you want me to put it. He wouldn’t do that, He just had to say a word and things would change. Please take this into account when you pray, and please take this into account when you pray for the nation.
- We must confess and repent for abortion bloodshed because we still have many states they haven’t given up that right, must confess and repent for those areas of human trafficking and sacrificial abuse and even thank him more than confession and repentance Much, thank Him! Because He will deliver and release everyone who is forced to go through those (painful) processes.
- Release the abducted children and set them free. Protect those newborns and unborn babies from falling through. I say newborns because I know they have new bills coming out in New York that will really freak you out and that all needs to be put to an end and pray that God will put an end to the sacrificial abuse in this country.
- Media is a huge problem. We have to pray that God will control our media, He will use the people to govern the media, and let the media giants know that the American people will no longer fill their pockets because they feed the people with rubbish. And let this country teach the media, tell them what you want and what you don’t want. God will step in, and He will put God-fearing spirit into their minds and hearts to change and cleanse the media of rubbish. Let the media bring messages that are good for the family and strengthen the Christian faith, etc. The prayer censorship law was set up again, in order to protect the American people from accepting the garbage of the media and from the mind control that can be seen everywhere in the media. Once the Lord helped me understand that they use mind control tactics in every area of the media, they are controlled subconsciously. So people will know that their minds are controlled. So my advice is to stay away from the secular media, but still, pray about it, pray for the kids who grew up in the secular media.

Thanks, Mom. This is really, really exciting! It’s exciting to see what God is about to do in our country. It’s exciting to know things you can pray for and see them come to life.
Part of what the Lord has shown me is… This morning, as I was praying, the Lord showed me part of it. He showed me these different elements in living colors, and that’s what she (Nita) said, needed Pray until things are done. What He showed me was this nation being rebuilt and being rebuilt. I saw:
- The financial system is being rebuilt!
- The church is being rebuilt!
- A true purity into the family of God! So we can be called a house of prayer.
- The education system has been completely updated! I see the same thing with Harvard and Yale, they look like they are closed because everything is over, as if they were closed until the pastors come in these venues and start preaching. Also, these colleges started out as Bible schools, and they were. Our founding fathers said that the most important thing you can do in life is to study the Word of God as much as you can. So that’s what those universities are for. God will restore righteous education and return it to the nation.
So it’s a very exciting time for us to see this transformation in action!
We look at things and we think, well, shouldn’t this be resolved first? Yet the Lord said, I need you to prepare the ground for me. I need you to do this. He, as Mom has said so many times, He loves to use His children, He loves us to be in line with Him, through prayer, to get things done. He is not a dictator, it is a partnership that we must maintain. If we have sown the seed, if we have prayed into it, if we have participated in the process of birth, and if we have participated in the process of rebuilding, we will care about it in a very different way than if we have just stepped in and done it.
We’ve really entered the rebuilding process, and today, I can’t take it anymore! I can hardly bear what God is about to do! So praise God! Thank you mom for going online and sharing with us what the Lord has shown you so we can work with Him in the fight for our country.

Pray for America: Fires of Awakening Coming to the East Coast
Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from Dutch Sheets’ post on October 5, in which God gave the prophetic revivalist, Miriam Evans’ dream. It’s about fires spreading from Florida to the entire East Coast, along I-95 all the way to Maine. This is a very inspiring dream, to read the full text click here.
【Current affairs background: In 2018, while ministering in Miami, Florida, I had a disturbing conversation with a pastor. He had been told by an influential Christian leader that Miami was considered a ‘pastor’s graveyard,’ due to the lack of spiritual hunger and zeal on the East Coast.
Processing this statement later that night, I could not accept it; I felt it was a false prophetic word. ‘Holy Spirit, show me what Jesus paid for in that region,’ I prayed. He responded by giving me a dream – that very night!
In the dream, I was at a beach in Miami. A large foot and leg appeared, touching the shore of Florida. This being was so large I could only see his foot and leg; the rest of his body was above the clouds. I heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘This is the Angel of Awakening.’ I immediately remembered the passage in Zechariah 4 where an angel ‘awakened [Zechariah] like a man who is awakened out of his sleep,’ (verse 1). The angel then delivered to Zechariah a message about God reviving the nation of Israel.
As the angel stepped on the shores of Florida, a fire ignited and immediately ran up the eastern corridor of America, from Miami to Maine. I then heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘This land [the East Coast] will be known as the “Land of The Rising SON.”’
I woke up knowing that Jesus paid for this nation to be revived, and HE had the final word over the East Coast, as well as our entire nation. Then I heard the Holy Spirit speak Malachi 4:2, ‘But for you who fear My name, the Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.’
I have held that word in my heart since 2018. In May of this year, I began asking God where we should partner with Him to see revival in America. In response, I kept seeing a mental picture of an I-95 sign. Since I live in Dallas, Texas, and we do not have that interstate here, I was unfamiliar with its location. So, I did what any spiritual person would do and Googled, ‘Where is I-95?’
To my surprise, I saw that Interstate 95 runs from Miami, Florida, to Maine. I then heard the Lord say, ‘Now is the time for the fulfillment of the vision I gave you in 2018. The work begins now.’
Since that time, my husband and I, along with Larry Sparks, have made an intentional effort to advance the Kingdom and contend for revival along the I-95 corridor. We have discovered that along the East Coast, a supernatural hunger has been released, and grace for revival has been imparted. This hunger is one of the signs that a mighty awakening is imminent.
The Holy Spirit is preparing the church for greater glory, through which the manifest presence of God will be seen and felt in this region and across our nation. This tsunami wave of glory will usher in miracles, signs and wonders. The ‘greater works’ Jesus spoke of in John 14:12 will be seen. These miracles will be a ‘sickle’ used to gather a harvest for King Jesus. This wave is rising. NOW is the time to prepare, act, and gather – for the harvest is here!

Pray for America: Declaration for the 50 States of America to Enter their Destiny (2)
Editor’s Note : This is a summary of prayer for the 50 states of the United States, taken from the 2005 book Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation by Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce. The motto is the name given to the states by the Prophetic Panel during its 50-state tour in 2003. We will start the week of 10/3 again with prayers for the states, five states each week with prayers and proclamations, releasing the states into their destiny.
(6)Colorado: The State of Breaking the Drought
Motto: Nothing without providence
We, the people of Colorado, with deep reverence for the Supreme Ruler of the universe, ask God to help us build independent and perfect governments, establish justice, maintain security, promote social prosperity, and secure for ourselves and our children and grandchildren the right to enjoy, establish justice, maintain security, promote social prosperity, and ensure our own and our children’s freedom.
Colorado, this is a year God is going to address bitter roots in this state. You can repent of it and it can be removed….If drought comes, look for the bitterness, and God will send water in the place of drought. This is a season for God’s word to go out from here and flood the nations in a new way. This is a season of revelation. Enter in and receive, and God will surprise your enemy that has held you captive in the past.”
Colorado is a treasure in this nation. Let the treasure of this state be mined properly and brought forth. Pray for what has been blocking the mining –both old and new to come forth–and the treasure of this state will be seen throughout this land.”
(7) Connecticut: (Constitution State) The State of Favor
Motto: He who transplanted still sustains.
We, the people of Connecticut, respond with gratitude to God’s good pleasure in allowing us the freedom, autonomy, power, and security that began with our forefathers.
Connecticut carries a greater mantle of revival than any other state in New England. God is going to cause something in Connecticut that will cause this nation to take notice of this state. God says this is a state that He is ready to give favor, connect and penetrate, and pull together. The Lord is about to open a door to new authority. It will be known that the glory of the Lord will be poured out over Connecticut. The war of regulation for this entire nation now stirs within Connecticut. There will be legal wars to set the course of a nation that has gotten off course. God has chosen you from the foundation of this nation to regulate this nation. Go to war in worship and this nation will be regulated under God’s watch care.”
(8) Delaware: Releasing the First fruit of a Nation
Motto: Liberty and Independence
By the grace of God, we, the people of Delaware, have the power from God to worship and serve our Creator, according to We, the people of Delaware, have the right from God to worship and serve our Creator, building and maintaining a God-glorifying society according to our conscience, free will, mutual respect, and justice.
Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and the first state in the Union. It is known as the “Cradle of Methodism.” Delaware is going to reconnect to your roots and you are a first fruit state.” “If the firstfruit is holy, the whole lump will become holy. I am reconnecting you into a place of holiness that this nation has not seen in a hundred years. Let the highway of the Lord begin. And if you will cause that highway to rise up, many will run on this highway of glory. For you, Delaware, have the power to break the spiritual impasse in this land.” (Pray that Delaware would rise up and stand in its spiritual identity and purpose as the firstfruits state.)
(9) Florida: First for Revival; the Forerunner State
Motto: In God We Trust
We, the people of Florida, thank the Almighty God for our constitutionally guaranteed freedom, and we declare that we will watch over the rights, interests, the integrity of our government, the peace of our society, the preservation of public order, and the guarantee of equal civil rights God has given us .
Florida is a forerunner state–forerunning in the purposes of God, in revival and in destiny for the nation. Florida is an apostolic state with a governmental mantle to shift and change the nation. The 22nd floor of the State Capitol Bldg in Tallahassee is an Is. 22:22 floor, “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” Where the Church of Florida is to pray and govern the state from.
(10) Georgia: (Peach State) A Governmental Gate
Motto: Wisdom, Justice, Moderation
We, the people of Georgia, relying on the protection and guidance of God Almighty, shall continue the principles of free government, ensure justice for all, preserve peace, promote the interests and welfare of citizens and families, and pass on the rights of freedom to future generations.
“Georgia is one of MY gates; it is a governmental gate.” We are to be gatekeepers–watching and praying to open gates to the Lord and close them to the enemy. Georgia is to be an opened portal–a place of revelation, fresh worship, and restoration; where the womb will no longer be hostile to new life (both naturally and spiritually); where new ministries will not just be conceived but brought to full-term maturity, where new sounds of worship will come forth.
“Church’s destiny–governmental breakthrough–summits–destinies of nations shaped in Georgia–nations coming to Georgia..Sound of Heaven, come to Georgia. It’s a shout of a King who is among them. He roars out of Zion–out of Georgia. Let every leader hear the sound of Heaven over the state, church and schools.” May God’s will be done in America!

Pray for Israel: Celebrate Sukkot daily
【Current Events: Sukkot is one of the three major Jewish festivals. This year’s Sukkot starts from October 9th and ends on the 16th. Except for the past two years due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, this year thousands of Christians from all nations come to Jerusalem to celebrate this time.
The tradition of Sukkot
This tradition originally originated from God’s command to Moses ( Numbers 29:12-35 ), from which the Jews understood that they should serve as priests for the nations, offer specific sacrifices at the Feast of Tabernacles, and pray that the Gentiles would know The one true God, the Creator and the God of Israel. Later, when King Solomon dedicated his temple at the Feast of Tabernacles, the Gentiles already cried out to God in prayer ( 2 Chronicles 6:32-33 ). Therefore, Jerusalem will be called “the house of prayer of all nations” ( Isaiah 56:7 and Matthew 21:13 ). Thus, this tradition inspired the anticipation of Israel and welcomed the Gentiles to Jerusalem to worship God at the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Jews celebrated the teaching of the Gentiles about the law of God.
Concerning the Second Coming of the Lord
The Feast of Tabernacles is the third pilgrimage day of the year. The Jews must go to Jerusalem to observe the feast and meet God. At this time, they not only commemorate God’s provision in the wilderness, but also look forward to the promised Messianic age, and look forward to the future when all nations will pour into Jerusalem. (See Isaiah 2:1-4 and Micah 4:1-3 )
As Christians, we do have good reasons to celebrate Sukkot, to thank God for the provision in our lives, and especially to thank the Holy Spirit for filling us. We, too, can rejoice at the abundance of souls that are taking place around the world today. For Christians, these are the best and most fitting reasons to celebrate Sukkot. The Bible also promises that on that day all nations will come to Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Tabernacles. The prophet Zechariah foresaw a day when the nations would come yearly to Jerusalem “to worship the great King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles . “ ( Zech 14:16 ) This is about the second coming of the Lord.

Celebrating Sukkot every day
Revelation 21:3 “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God..” God desires to live with His people throughout the earth, to live with us, not just at the Feast of Tabernacles. His intention was to have an intimate relationship with people, walking with God as Adam did.
“God’s tabernacle among men” means that God’s address is written in people’s lives, so Isaiah 61:1 means that not only the Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me, but the Spirit of the Lord dwells in us. If the Lord dwells in us, we become a person who is sensitive to God. When we are more sensitive to God than to the world, to the problems, to the people around us, or to the activities of the world, we can truly be built up with God, as in Revelation 21:3 , “the tabernacle of God is among men .” Intimate relationship, become a “ God-man “ , live, dwell, breathe, walk, and work with Him every day, so that His will is done on earth as it is in heaven!

Pray for Israel: Watching for Israel’s Election Season
【Current affairs background: Since the resignation of former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in late June, the parliament has been dissolved and the post of Prime Minister has been temporarily replaced by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid until a new parliament is elected. Israel will begin voting on November 1. That means Israel will have one of the longest election seasons ever, its fifth in three and a half years.
On this electoral board, political pieces are being moved. Some politicians are uniting with others because of various interests. At present, the election is still deadlocked, but the results of the primary election of the Israel Coalition Party (Likud, also known as the Likud Party) have been announced, and Netanyahu has won and once again becomes the leader of the Likud Party. However, Netanyahu is still facing trial in three cases involving bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The trial has been delayed for several years with no clear outcome.
Prolonged political uncertainty can be confusing, but there is no doubt that the Lord is treating Israel in a different way, allowing Israel to manage to move forward without a strong central leadership. After all, God is the “King” of Israel who has been watching over the nation and its people. Let’s pray together that God’s will for Israel will be done.

Critical Event: Aligning with Heavenly Will – Resolving the 3rd World War Crisis
【Background: The Beixi gas pipeline was cut off, and Europe was in an “energy dilemma”. The people of the European continent were preparing themselves for the winter by cutting down trees and accumulating coal; and the unstoppable “Russian-Ukrainian war” had a tendency to use nuclear weapons. Measured by the “great reset” plan promoted by the globalists, the shortage of artificial resources and the creation of more wars are in line with their intention to control by the “great reset”: to make the poor poorer, the rich richer, a “big government” with a concentration of wealth and power can be established.
Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, said at the Davos forum, “We are not lacking globalization, but lacking global government.” To the point of revealing nuclear weapons, the Kremlin seems to be initiating an unprecedented and terrible nuclear crisis as the Russian army slides to the brink of collapse on the battlefield! Many countries are evacuating their citizens from Russia and neighboring countries. Humanity is at the most dangerous moment in history.
Pushing the truth behind World War 3
The day Biden entered the White House, he immediately terminated the Keystone Pipeline, which opened the prelude to the energy crisis, but fabricated the “energy crisis” from “sanctions against Russia” and blamed Putin. You know, Putin is the one who can end this “Great Reset” program. This deliberate crisis will work for some kind of geopolitical shift of power, or lay the groundwork for further evil, not about history, race, culture, or people, but about the intentions of a handful of elites and politicians. This is why the Western regime has become belligerent, donating money, donating weapons, creating public opinion, and stimulating both Russia and Ukraine to stop fighting, because they find that their rights are slipping, and if they want to maintain and hold it forever, they must constantly Selling to everyone in a “good for you” way, getting people to identify with them all the way from “killing until nuclear war”, following their ideology, and ultimately keeping people away from the truth and the truth and involved in hellish destruction… Initiating World War III was their goal.
Come, align with the sky
Only the kingdom of God can compete with it, and the people of the kingdom of God are crying out for a great revival in the face of adversity. “World War 3” cannot break out before the Great Revival of the Global Gospel! God is in power, the land and the people are his, and he will not allow Satan to advance his schedule! But at the same time, in the kingdom of God, He is looking for people who are willing to prevent the breach of war ( Ezekiel 22:30 ), intercede for the world and the king, and take responsibility for the country and the nation. He’s looking for the “critical minority” to be the right vessel to be “aligned with God” to accomplish great things! The purity of this vessel is extremely high, 100% pure gold, that is, absolute obedience to God, as Jesus said in the Gospel of John: “The Son can do nothing by himself, but only by seeing what the Father does. do” (John 5:19a) . The vessel was built in love, and they loved God willingly, just as Jesus gave his life willingly in love. This vessel is the one who understands the Father’s will and the blueprint in the Father’s heart. He is a member of the Father’s family, a true son: “Everything the Father has is mine” (John 16:15) . Don’t underestimate this group of vessels aligned with the Father’s heart who can do greater things than Jesus did (John 14:12)! Spiritual explosions as the high-purity vessels of God come together to issue decrees The strength and shock will be far greater than the power of the nuclear explosion in the material world, and no force can stand in front of it.

Pray for Native Americans: Arise and Resound!
【Current Affairs: In these times, I believe the Lord is INCREASING and RELEASING His voice, with great authority, through His “first fruits” people groups of the land. He is raising up His sold out, set apart, Indigenous burning ones, and releasing HIS VOICE to set nations ablaze for Jesus.
Recently, the Lord took me up into an encounter, and I was looking down on my nation of Australia. By the Spirit of God, I knew that this encounter was for Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and other Indigenous people to the lands.
His Glory Released Through the First Nations Indigenous People
I could see glory mist rising up from the land across the nation. As my spiritual eyes zoomed in closer to the land, in the midst of the glory, I could see people dancing, and I heard a glorious sound. It was the First Nations Indigenous people of the land, worshiping and dancing in their cultural way; the dust of the land spraying up as their feet hit the ground. The glory of the Lord was released into the land as they stomped in the dance. The glory spread and filled the land of the nation (see Habakkuk 2:14).
The First Nations people carry a glory that is unique to the land. This glory is about to be released into the nations, and I believe it is a powerful, ancient key to unlock the awakening of nations.
The Rhythm of an Ancient Love
The overwhelming sense which surrounded me was that these First Nation countrymen and women were dancing to the rhythm of an ‘ancient love’ that compelled them to arise and dance with song; an ancient love that wooed them and drew them back to their first love, Jesus.
“Break forth with dancing! Make music and sing God’s praises with the rhythm of the drums! For He enjoys His faithful lovers. He adorns the humble with His beauty, and He loves to give them victory.” (Psalm 149:3-4 TPT) (Photo via Piqsels)
“We love Him, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 KJV)
An Intergenerational Love Drawn from an Ancient Timeline
This ancient love seemed to rise from deep within the age-old layers of this land. It felt to me like an intergenerational love for our Creator was being drawn from an ancient timeline, up through the feet of the First Nations people, and released into the “now” timeline. It was being released through their dance, their song and their hands.
As we all join hands and hearts, the love of God will become known through our lives in the present day. We will be known by the fruit of this ancient love of God; the one who loved us before the foundations of the earth. This intergenerational, ancient love is reigniting within the people.
During this whole encounter, I was surrounded with a strong sense of surrender and being positioned right in the center of a place that beckons, “Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you” (see James 4:8).
Ancient Strongholds Broken
As the perfect love of God poured out through the land and the people, the sheer power of this pure love caused ancient strongholds to be broken off of the land and the people. The land itself was breaking free from shackles and being saturated and soaked in the love and the pure goodness of God.
Unearthing His Hidden Treasures
The love of God was washing away all reproach and revealing these priceless treasures.
“I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.” (Psalm 40:1-3 AMPC)
I believe the Lord is unearthing His hidden treasures. These hidden treasures are the First Nations voices of the Land, which are being unearthed from the lower layers of the land, causing them to ARISE and RESOUND – NO LONGER BOUND! Once hidden, now they will be lifted up from the miry clay to decree and declare the Word of the Lord, and to display His splendor. (Photo via Pxfuel)
First Nations Awakened Sons Shift Into Destiny
What I was seeing was the First Nations awakened sons and daughters shifting into destiny, arising from the land with a dance of deliverance, a strong song and a new voice.
“O God, my saving God, deliver me fully from every sin, even the sin that brought bloodguilt. Then my heart will once again be thrilled to sing the passionate songs of joy and deliverance!” (Psalm 51:14 TPT)
