Pray for America: Contend for the Glory Deluge

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from the 6/8 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” by intercession leader Dutch Sheets , shared by Larry Sparks . Larry, publisher of Destiny Image, called Larry’s book, “Pentecostal Fire,” one of the best revival books he’s ever read. Larry encourages us that revival has begun, challenging us not to take small beginnings lightly; an acorn becomes an oak!
“I invite you to join me every day in prayer for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily 15 Minutes to Him, give a comment, and then we will pray together. As we stand for America” Day Petition, you can join us here. – Dutch Sheets

【Current Events Background: “Tell My Church I am reintroducing her to Pentecostal Fire.” Since Holy Spirit gave me this mandate in early 2021, I wrote the book Pentecostal Fire to provoke readers to cry out for the fullness of revival in their lives and in their generation. “Pentecost” is an old-time word, but if we want to move in Book of Acts-level power, we must return to Pentecost to advance into the future.  ...Detailed Reading】

• Ezekiel 47:2-5   He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side. As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep.  He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist.  He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.

• Isaiah 64:1-2   Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you! As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!

• Isaiah 60:1-2   “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you..

【Prayer】

• Ride the Tide of Glory : Father, we thank You for being born again and having the Holy Spirit dwell in us. Please continue to shine on us, cleanse and heal us so that we can bear your glory. While we have seen a trickle of revival, we are not resting on our laurels. Heavenly Father, for the sake of this world affected by darkness, please come down from the sky and shake the whole earth, like fire burning dry sticks, and like water boiling, reveal yourself, let your enemies know your name, and let the nations stand in peace trembling before you. We will not stand still in front of the glory of God’s Shekinah, we will see the gates of heaven open everywhere, and we will continue to face a greater wave of glory!

• We declare in the name of Jesus Christ :

• • God will send down revival again, acting in fire and glory.

• • God will give a great awakening, once again convict us, repent, and bring about a complete turnaround of America.

• • God will make the Pentecost fire fall again, and a greater wave of Shekinah God glory will sweep across the United States!

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Pray for Israel: (5) “No Longer be Called Forsaken”

Editor’s note :“Isaiah 62 – Prayer for Israel” is a series of prayers written by Sandra Teplinski, one of the founders and directors of Light of Zion . Teplinsky in 2023 to supplement the excellent devotional prayer handbook God’s Heart for Israel, published by IHOP-KC, Kansas, Missouri. In 2023, IHOP-KC initiates a 21-day global fast and prayer according to Isaiah 62 and recommends participants to use this prayer booklet. We will publish the prayers in it every week in the future.

【Current event: As an Israeli Messianic Jewish prayer leader in Jerusalem, I felt it would be valuable to supplement Heart of God specifically for Israeli intercessors to use during the 21 day fast. This became my reason for writing Isaiah 62 Prayers for Israel (“Isaiah 62 Prayers”). However, seasoned intercessors for Israel who are neither Israeli nor Jewish can also benefit much from Isaiah 62 Prayers. ....Detailed Reading】

• Isaiah 62:4 “No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married.”

【Prayer】

Creator of All Things, You have granted us stewardship of land that is uniquely precious to You. You harbor tender love for this land and even have compassion on it. On my knees and on behalf of my people, I thank You for the honor of living in this land.

Let us never worship the land, but let the land summon us to worship You, its true Owner. Remind us by Your Spirit that how we relate to the land reflects how we relate to You. The life of the land flows from the life we graciously have in You.

In Yeshua’s Name I re-dedicate the land, the literal ground of Zion, to serve its Creator. I bless the land as married, for His delight.

As in ancient times, we depend on You, O God, to provide rain for our land. I ask You to water our dry and thirsty ground. Provide for our crops and sustain us, for Your Name’s sake. Open the heavens and pour down Your mercies. Thank You for the wonder-working water technologies You have shown and given to Israel. May all praise for this go to You.

Creator of heaven and earth, I petition You to release to Israel all the land You want us to have, now and in times ahead. Judea and Samaria, with its altars of holy covenant from long ago, still lie in the hands of those who plot our destruction. Deliver Your land to Your people and deliver Your people to Your land, according to Your will and Your ways. Let Your justice prevail for all who dwell in Judea and Samaria, both Arabs and Jews. Protect the land and people from destruction and death by enemy attack. Do not allow, O God, the peoples to wrongly divide up Your land. Protect the borders of Israel by the overpowering Blood of Yeshua.

Concerning Jewish people still scattered in the nations, summon them home to the land in aliyah. Provide all they need in every respect so they can stay in the land and marry it. Remove the unjust prohibition against aliyah for Jews who believe in Jesus. Bless all who make aliyah to the land so that even more importantly, they would make aliyah to the Lord.

Thank You for answering my requests according to Your ways that are greater than mine.

In the holy name of Christ Jesus, amen!

Critical Event: Sudan – A Nerve on the African Continent

[Background:   In mid-April 2023, another military coup clash broke out in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. This time, at least 56 people were killed and 595 were injured. This is not the first military conflict in Sudan, but this turbulent political situation is really disturbing, and people do not want it to evolve into a Russian-Ukrainian battlefield in Africa. ...Detailed Reading】

Your true disciples in Sudan, the Ekklesia will surely appear, stand before the throne, become the mainstay of the country, the one who carries the ark of God, the one who cries out to heaven, the one who preaches the way of repentance, Those who preach the Gospel of the Kingdom. ( 1 Timothy 2:1-2 )
• Sultan Enters Destiny : Sultan, like little Timothy ( 1 Timothy 4:12 ), is small but strong. Sultan, your name is endowed with the good meaning of “strength”, which contains God’s destiny for you since the creation of the world. Sudan is going to be a blessing to Israel, which in turn pulls the nerves of the entire African continent. At this very moment, it is time that God is going to give birth to precious children in Sudan and Africa. In the name of the Lord, we command the evil spirits behind the military rebellion in Sudan to stop! We have seen through your intentions. The members of Ekklesia all over the world are here to stand with God and the Sudan, and help Sudan to enter the magnificent destiny and the blueprint of God’s plan!

Editorial Special Section: Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Tammuz

Information:  Ron Sawka Date: June 14, 2023  Source: Ron Sawka Ministries

Editor’s note : The month of Tammuz is the fourth month of 5783 in the Jewish calendar, corresponding to June 20, 2023 to July 18, 2023 in the Western calendar. This article is excerpted from the 2006 CD Lecture by the Apostle Ronsaka of Glory of Zion Prophet Chuck Pierce. He highly recommends Chuck Pierce’s website for more information and for a more complete explanation.

Shining by Declaring

We know that this fourth month (see historical sketch below) is a time to be watchful. On the other hand, we are always to be watchful. Also, just as much as we are to be watchful, God wants us to shine. He wants us full of joy and confidence.

I’m amazed at the negative example of King Saul. The prophet Samuel anointed Saul to be king. Samuel told Saul that he would meet prophets and would himself prophesy and be changed into another man. All of that happened. In fact, Saul’s prophesying was so strong that people thought he too had become a prophet (see 1 Sam. 10:11–12).

But what happened? Instead of openly sharing this amazing testimony with those around him, Saul kept silent. He didn’t even tell his family. He missed out on the surge of faith and confidence that comes when we confess/declare what God has done for us. His silence led to the beginnings of doubt and an obsession with the need for more “confirmations.” Instead of being present when the new king was chosen, he hid among the supplies (see 1 Sam. 10:22).

Let’s not be that way. Let’s boldly keep declaring the goodness and power of God. Keep testifying. Keep breaking Satan’s power and overcoming him with the word of our testimony (see Rev. 12:11).

Historical Sketch

One of the intriguing days of this month is Tammuz 17 (July 6), which marks the beginning of the three weeks known as the “dire straits.” These “dire straits” end on Av 9 (July 27), the date the Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 423 BC—and then the second Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.

Tammuz 17 is forty days after Moses ascended Mount Sinai at the first Pentecost (Shavuot). He came down the mountain and then broke the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments had been written because the people had made a golden calf and were worshiping it. It was also on Tammuz 17 that the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Babylonians, and again by the Romans hundreds of years later in 70 AD.

So traditionally, Tammuz 17 is a day to be watchful. But we do it with shining and joy!

The Month of Tammuz

1. A month to see and establish the brilliance of your righteousness. Even when negative things happen, we can shine brighter and brighter through praise and declaration. See Isaiah 58:8 [1], Psalm 112:4 [2], and Daniel 12:3 [3]. Note that Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians during this month (see Jeremiah 39:2) [4], a very negative thing. However in this same month, Ezekiel also saw the glory of God (Ezek. 1:1) [5]. Believe to see the glory of God. Remember that we have just come through Pentecost, which has to do with words that we speak. God wants us to declare His truth, His gospel, and His power. As we do so, the more He confirms with signs and wonders and miracles (Heb. 2:4) [6]. Remember this whole decade of the 5780s is linked with proclaiming and declaring. Let’s shine in what we say! Declare, “I choose the boldness to make positive declarations!”

2. A month to make choices so we fulfill our potential. The month of the tribe of Reuben. He lost his inheritance as firstborn. Reuben is an example of someone with great potential who didn’t deal with his basic issues and failed to excel. The Lord wants to deal with blind spots and other unresolved issues so we can spring ahead. Genesis 49:3–4 describes Reuben as follows: “Beginning of power; excellence and dignity; unstable as water” [7]. Declare, “Lord, I will keep declaring your goodness and what you are doing in me. You will take care of my blind spots!”
3. A month to shine through our worship. Worship even when there are delays. God wants us to really shine this month, and one of the ways will be through worship. Ask the Lord to take your worship to a new level. Note that Moses’s face glowed after being with the Lord. Also notice that the people worshiped the golden calf (Exod. 32:1) [8] because they couldn’t accept delay. Therefore, thank God for any delay and keep worshiping Him. As we submit to Him in worship, He also brings issues in our lives into submission. Also note that God has given praise to us as a horn or weapon (Ps. 148:14 [9]). Declare, “Lord, no matter what situation I find myself in, I choose to declare that you have an answer.”
4. A month to either accept your calling or to speak an evil report of who you are. We have a choice of which it will be. People fall into negativity because they don’t know how to speak out who they are. You must like yourself. If you don’t, then there’s something about the Lord that you don’t like. Look at past prophecies of who you are and declare them during this month. They will be like seeds you sow which will bring a great harvest in late September/early October (Feast of Tabernacles). Declare, “Lord, I am your child. You have called me. You have a greater destiny for me than I imagine and the time is now.”
5. The month of the letter chet [ח], which means “light radiating from your eyes.” The devil tries to put this light out. Chet is also tied to the number “8,” which signifies new beginnings; it also is referred to as the letter of “life,” but can also mean “sin.” Through this letter, God is showing us that we can, and must, choose correctly so we don’t fall into negativity. See Isaiah 42:6 [10] and Revelation 1:14 [11]. Declare, “Lord your fire is burning in me. It’s your fire inside me that causes my eyes to shine with your light and life.”
6. The “filmstrip” month. Take time to look at yourself. If you keep going the way you are, how will you end up? Therefore, stop and make any necessary adjustments. Ask the Lord to show you how you might end up if you aren’t careful to walk with Him. Declare, “Lord, you are faithful to show all areas that need to change and you will reveal them at a time when I can successfully deal with them.”
7. The month where we must allow ourselves to be soft and vulnerable to the Lord. This month is linked with the constellation of the crab. Our shell must be removed so that we are vulnerable. If you don’t allow yourself to be vulnerable, you will become hardened and won’t be able to enter into the next stage of growth. Ask the Lord to remove any hardness or shell from you. Declare, “Lord, when adversity arises, I choose not to be stubborn and withdraw, but instead will quickly look to you.”
8. A month to guard your heart—what you feel and think, as well as your eyes—what you allow yourself to see. “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse” (Deut. 11:26). See also Deuteronomy 30:15, which states, “I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.” Declare, “I choose life.”
9. The month of the right hand—the aligning covenant. See Song of Solomon 5:2–12. Remember your covenants—the right hand has to do with covenants and relationships. Ask the Lord for a new level of intimacy with Him. We have just come through the month of Pentecost, which was about aligning. Now watch for those the Lord brings to align with you to move you ahead into your destiny. Declare, “The more I come into intimacy/friendship with the Lord, the better my covenants with people will be.”

Editorial Special Section: Ricci Johnson Wilson: Dry Bones and the Rebirth of a Nation

Message: Ricci Johnson Wilson Date: June 12, 2023  Source : World For Jesus Ministries

Thursday, June 8, 2023, I shared a vision (Dry bones and the Rebirth of a Nation) and an accompanying word from the Lord. That is typed up below.

First, however, I feel the need to share what occurred on our prayer call Friday, June 9, 2023. Just as I was about to greet everyone and begin our prayer call, the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord came over me as the Lord suddenly, on the spot, brought His revelation to a dream I had in our May, Gathering of the Eagles. I feel it’s important to share this dream and the revelation first, because the Lord is speaking to us regarding our need to prepare for the days ahead.

The dream and the revelation: During the Seattle Gathering of the Eagles, I had a dream that Darrell (he is facilitating our Corporate Calls now) and I were in front of a computer monitor. On the screen was a map of the United States with 5 cities highlighted: DC, New York, Denver, Houston, and Los Angeles. There were controls to increase or decrease the cloud cover. The Lord was clear: “decrease cloud coverage, exposure is coming!”

As I shared, just as our prayer call began, the fear of God fell upon me, I could barely stand in His presence. I encourage you to listen to the audio as a strong warning was given by the Lord to avoid distractions and stay the course over the next few months because we are going to great exposure regarding DC, New York, Denver, Houston, and Los Angeles. DC is the Government, New York is the financial end, Los Angeles is media and entertainment, Denver is religious/cultic, and Houston is likely human trafficking. I sensed the enemy will try to bring about alternative chaos, perhaps riots, economic crisis, wars and rumors of wars, and so on, to keep our hearts and minds off the deeply rooted corruption that God is exposing.

This is the hour to remain diligent in our intercession and stay before the throne as His Justice is about to fall upon the land.  

The Vision

In Seattle GOE I had a vision of the nation. It was dry and barren. Hidden beneath the mountain of debris, I could see the skeletal system of the nation.

Within the chest of the skeletal system, at its core, was the heart.

Suddenly, the skeletal system began to shake violently, the debris began to fall off the land and into the sea. The bones shook so violently, I felt certain they would shatter. Then, the heart began to beat, and that skeletal system came to life. Muscle, tendons, sinew, tissue… all formed around the bones until it was a living, breathing nation once again.

The nation was reborn, it arose and went forth, restoring other nations as it had been restored. Awakening nations, as it had been awakened!

We often think of Ezekiel 37 when the dry bones came to life. However, the Lord directed me to 2 Kings 13:20-21: And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.  And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.”

Our nation bounced back like the man thrown on the bones of Elisha!

This miracle of Elisha’s after his death is more surprising than any of those he performed during his lifetime. The Jews regarded this miracle as his highest glory. It may be said to belong to a class of Scriptural miracles, cases, i. e. where the miracle was not performed through the agency of a living miracle-worker, but by a material object in which, by God’s will—virtue—for the time resided. (We see this same type of miracle in Acts 19:12 when handkerchiefs were prayed over and sent by Paul to the sick and people were healed).

If we look back at this season of Israel’s history, the nation was headed into very dark days. However, this miracle served to add weight to Elisha’s unfulfilled prophecies, especially to those concerning the coming triumphs of Israel over Syria. In the extreme state of depression to which the Israelites were now reduced, this miracle may just have been the thing necessary to encourage and reassure them to press in and press on!

Now, considering where America is today, living in a state of oppression and state capture, I firmly believe the Lord was showing me how, under the watchful guidance of the prophetic, the Lord will use the intercessors to bring this nation back to life!

His virtue still remains, and it will once again be seen in the earth. 

“The Heart”

What is the heart? The Heart of the nation is the church and the Biblical foundations the nation was founded upon were born out of the Church. The Church must be revived to their First Love, come out of the world and up to God where we can hear His will and His purposes, then pray and act accordingly.

“The Covenant”

In 1607, Robert Hunt made a Covenant with the Lord as he dedicated our nation to the work of the Gospel. (April 26, 2023, it was rededicated, and the Covenant reiterated)

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

We revisit this Covenant to stir our hearts to our purpose as a nation. However, it is vital that we remember for a Covenant to be fulfilled, the people of God must also fulfill our portion. We must engage with the will of God for this nation. We cannot simply rest on the knowledge of the Covenant between Robert Hunt and our Lord. Instead, we must recognize that there was a legal authority and precedent set on that day that this nation would be a nation from which the Gospel would go forth unto all the nations, and just as Moses reminded God of the Covenant He made with Abram 400 years earlier as he led the people out of Egypt and headed toward the Promise land, we too can petition the Lord for His mercy and protection for our Nation based on the Covenant that we will stand and be a nation from which the Gospel would pour out unto all the earth! Before anyone settled here, our nation was dedicated to God and the spread of the Gospel for the generations both here and abroad. The dedication of our nation was for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in Matt 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

How do we align ourselves with God in bringing about His Plans and Purposes for our Nation?

#1. The Church needs to return to its First Love.

One of the goals of the Communist Manifesto from the “Naked Communist” is to infiltrate and weaken the Church. Why? Because they knew as long as the Church remained steadfast, they could never capture the nation. They’ve been very successful in their effort, but I see a new breed of believers rising, and they are ready to shake the shackles off and reverse course on behalf of the Church! The heart of the nation, the church, needs to be awakened so we can occupy! (Luke 19:13)

#2 We need to protect and prioritize God’s plans over our own.

It is important to remain active in the battle. We are at war for the soul of this nation… we need to view this season as we would wartime. Set aside distractions, our programs, our own agendas, and focus on the battle that we are in.

Remember, this is war so it’s important that we work, and we war against the enemy not one another.

#3 We need to see events through the lens of the Lord.

When the enemy is as bold as he is today, using sports, retail, church, media, and education to target our children, especially in this past couple of weeks, we know we are on the brink of something. What that “something” is really has been stirred up by the Lord and prayed to the surface by the intercessors—those who stand in the gap for the nations. We must dig our heels in and fight for the soul of this nation like never before.

#4 Pray for and pursue the Awakening.

We know that there must be one last awakening before the Lord’s return. The enemy knows this as well which is why he is trying to take our children and thwart God’s plan for them through this very sick and corrupt agenda.

I know God allowed this season to compel men to stand for righteousness – the sickness of the world, the left, it is pouring out into the four corners of the land so men might become sickened by the gross debauchery, unrighteous legislation, and ultimately, work to thrust it from our land.

His Rods of Righteousness are rising!

In the coming days – we will see 5 things we need to prepare for:

#1 The Church is going to come under persecution.

Through this season of persecution, will see greater purification of the Church. Those standing on the Word and pursing God, will be strengthened in this season. We, as intercessors, need to pray for the Church to be strengthened, for their heart to return to their First Love, and be ignited by the Spirit of the Lord for the work that lies ahead.

#2 There will be wars and rumors of wars.

We will see an escalation with Ukraine, but it’s for greater exposure than we ever thought possible. We need to pray for our nation, the pain of this exposure will be close to unbearable. Part of this agenda is to push for war, but God will use it to expose the corruption. (I shared a few weeks ago, they will push for war between China and Taiwan as well.)

#3 There will be exposure of human trafficking like never before.

In our Pentecost GOE, I was praying over human trafficking, and I saw the Lord raging through pathways like a father searching for his son in the debris of a collapsed house. He was ripping up walls, throwing furniture, boxes, etc, searching for the children. Last night, I learned that Operation Underground Railroad and Mel Gibson partnering to release a four-part series that will expose the depth of Human Trafficking in Ukraine and in Hollywood.

God has a plan for the youth, aligning with His plan, standing in the gap for the children as He directs, will set the captives free.

#4 The Media will get out of control.

In their effort to control the masses and fulfill secret obligations, we will see these talking heads become more excessive, aggressive, and even lose control on live TV. They will suppress the truth and expand their distraction techniques to prevent WE THE PEOPLE from seeing the truth. (Remember, they are driven by unholy covenants they’ve made, let’s pray that God will make a way of escape for them.)

It’s important that during this chaos, this exposure, God is setting the captives free. The enemy will bring distractions, he’ll use the media, to really push this effort. We really need to pray for discernment in this hour.

#5 The enemy will increase in his efforts to sever the heart (the Church) from the Nation. 

God says the heart of this Nation is the Church (the true Church, those called out of the world and up to God) Our mission is to pray for the Church to reengage with the purpose of this nation’s founding.

Why? This nation, having been dedicated to the spread of the Gospel, received decades of training in the Word of God by the Black Robe Regiment even before the Revolutionary War. Our Founding Fathers pulled from those messages as they wrote the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. When they developed our government, they pulled from those messages and poured over the Scriptures to develop a government based on Biblical principles.

George Washington quoted Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” and because of this truth, they needed to establish checks and balances in this new government to protect “We the People” from an oppressive government.

As such, Isaiah 33:22 was used as the foundation and example of the three branches of our government. “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king” Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.

Exodus 18 was used as the guideline to breakdown government from the Federal, to the State, and ultimately the Local levels.

So, when the Left, Academia, the Media, and so on, try to destroy this nation, its founding, and its history, they are not only trying to uproot the Biblical principles established to protect us from THEM, but they are also attempting to thwart what God is trying to accomplish in the days ahead, and that is not something we as intercessors can tolerate.

We must adhere to and remain focused on God’s plans and purposes for this nation and:

Luke 19:13 “Occupy till He comes!”

I want to encourage you to stay the course, good v evil is in the most epic fight for the nations of the earth, and they know the United States must fall if evil is to succeed. 

Finally, I implore you…pray for the Lord of the Harvest to send forth the laborers (Matthew 9:36-38) The awakening is upon us, and it is going to be seen in many arenas. The Church, the government, academia, everything will be impacted by what God is doing. Pray, pray for the Lord of the Harvest to send forth the Laborers.

Blessings & love,

Ricci Johnson-Wilson

Editorial Special Section: Veronika West: AMERICA…; STOP HOLDING YOUR NOSES…; FOR YOUR EYES ARE BEING OPENED,…AND YOUR MOUTHS WILL TASTE OF HIS GOODNESS..!!

Message: Veronika West Date: June 9-10, 2023 Source : Veronika West Facebook    

…”Stop holding your noses America, for the stench you smell is the fertiliser that will revive and enrich the hard and compact soil that will bring forth a Supernatural Harvest of souls”..!

…So I wanted to share a strange Dream I had last night concerning the Nation of America.

….In this Dream, I found myself standing again before The Oak Tree. The same Oak Tree I saw in a recent dream encounter.

Now as I looked again at The Oak Tree, suddenly a very unpleasant pungent smell began to fill the atmosphere, and as the strong odour seemed to permeate my surroundings, my eyes were drawn to the soil/ ground around The Oak Tree.

As I stepped closer to the tree in the dream, I saw that the soil that surrounded the base of the tree had been deeply aerated and a strong smelling fertiliser had been laid around the base of The Oak Tree.

As I looked at the fertiliser, suddenly I heard these Words, ”Stop holding your noses, America! For the stench you smell is the fertiliser that will revive and enrich the hard and compact soil that will bring forth a Supernatural Harvest of souls!”

As I heard those Words, suddenly the ground beneath my feet began to tremble and a sound began to rise from deep beneath the ground.

It was the sound of a Lion’s Roar, and as I tried to stay standing in the midst of the ground beginning to shake, I could feel the sound waves of the Lion’s Roar strongly reverberating throughout the roots system of The Oak Tree.

Then I saw the leaves and the branches of The Oak Tree begin to move back and forth and back and forth, when suddenly I saw a Pure White Dove circling the great Oak Tree and I watched as the feet of The Dove landed upon the top of the shaking and swaying branches of The Oak Tree.

And as soon as the White Dove’s feet landed, the great shaking of The Oak Tree stopped, and a quiet stillness came upon The Oak Tree.

Then suddenly I heard the sound of soft ‘coo-ooing’ filling the atmosphere in the dream, (and this is hard to describe)… but like a ‘Love Song’ I have never heard in the earthly realm.

I listened as the beautiful White Dove released her gentle sound over the mighty Oak Tree, and as the sound and the Love Song of the White Dove filled the airwaves, I heard these Words, “Listen! For at the sound of The Roar of The Lion of Judah, the roots, the roots of The Oak Tree shall be revived and restored.

And at the sound of the Love Song of The White Dove, the Fruits, the Fruits shall be purified and come forth as pure gold!”

As I heard those Words in the dream, suddenly I saw The Mighty Lion of Judah appearing beside The Oak Tree and I watched as the mighty Lion lifted His Head and His Eyes looked up towards the beautiful White Dove.

Then the Great Eagle suddenly appeared, and then The Great Owl, and then the lamb appeared and stood beside the mighty Lion of Judah.

As I looked and looked again in the dream, (the Spiritual Atmosphere was now becoming thicker and thicker, heavier and heavier as the weight and power of His Glory began to descend upon The Oak Tree) and again as I looked I saw, the mighty Lion of Judah, The Lamb, The Great Eagle, The Great Owl and the beautiful White Dove over The Oak Tree.

Then suddenly I saw the mighty Lion of Judah dropping His Head, and with His Eyes like blazing Fires, He looked intently at the roots of The Oak Tree and suddenly He opened His Mouth and He roared into the ground, a mighty Roar that sounded like the rushing of a thousand waterfalls.

I watched and listened as the thunderous Roar of The Lion of Judah went forth from His Mouth.

….Then I saw the most incredible and glorious (hard to describe…) Rainbow River of seven glistening and radiant colours coming forth from His Mouth, as I saw the Rainbow River deeply penetrate the soil and the roots system of The Oak Tree.

As I looked in utter amazement, I heard these Words, “Watch and Listen! For at the sound of My Roar the manifest Power of My Seven Spirits shall go forth into the foundations to awaken this Nation to her true Kingdom Identity, Authority and Destiny.

For I shall now remember My Covenant Promises and My ekklesia shall arise in the midst of the stench that surrounds The Oak Tree, and like strong smelling salts in her nostrils, she shall surely come to her senses and take her rightful place!”

As I heard those Words, suddenly I woke up!

“Love Song of The Harvest”..!!

As I spent time in prayer concerning this powerful, powerful Dream Encounter the first thing The Spirit of Revelation spoke to me about was the Love Song, of The White Dove being released over The Oak Tree and into the atmosphere.

I heard Him say, “The Love Song of The Harvest, a Love Song of Truth, Righteousness, Unity, Mercy and Peace. A Love Song of that will draw all men unto Me. A Love Song that will lasso The Lost and The Prodigals.

For the sound of My Love Song rise in the nations that will trump the sound of hate, racism, division and death. The sound of My Love will beckon the broken and bind up their wounds.

A Love Song that will herald A Harvest of A Billion Souls.

…A Love Song that will still the heart of beloved ekklesia and will cause her to arise in an unbridled boldness, an uncontainable courage and fearlessness that will push back the powers of hell!”

Those were the first Words The Spirit of Revelation spoke to me concerning The White Dove and the Love Song of The Harvest.

As I heard those Words it paralleled powerfully with what I saw in the first Dream Encounter when I saw the Fruit on The Tree, then I saw The White Dove — which represented The Evangelist and The Harvest!

A Divine Convergence is taking place — The Five Fold are being fully restored.

Then The Spirit of Revelation spoke to me concerning seeing all the five coming together around The Oak Tree, and then seeing glorious Rainbow River being released from the mouth of The Lion of Judah as He roared into the soil/ ground.

This is the manifest power of Seven Spirits! The Spirit and Power of Elijah being released within The Roar of The Lion of Judah.

This manifest Power will bring a cleansing to the foundations of the nations. Sheep and goat nations are being separated. The Roar of The Lion/ Seven Spirits/ Spirit and Power of Elijah will awaken sheep nations to her true Kingdom Identity, Authority and Power!

The Roar of The Lion of Judah will bring a Divine Separation of goat and sheep nations.

The Roar of The Lion carries the power of the Rainbow River, which is the Manifest Spirit and Power of Elijah/ The Seven Spirits of God, which speak to “Covenant” and “His Covenant Promises” made to the Nations.

”Watch, for now sheep nations are now being awakened by the Manifest Power of The Roar of The Lion of Judah, for The Great Separation has now begun in the nations!” says God

L.G.B.T…

The devil has hijacked The Rainbow.

…The Spirit of Revelation has shown me that the LGBT Movement has tried to steal the sign, The Rainbow.

This has been for the purpose of distorting true Kingdom Identity and Power and Authority within the nations. This stronghold of deception is at work behind the LGBT Movement!

I hear The Spirit say, “Watch! As I awaken My Sheep Nations with The Roar of The Lion. For My Roar shall awaken My Sheep Nations to their true Kingdom Identity and the stronghold and stranglehold of deception shall be utterly destroyed, for I AM now drawing out those who have had their minds deceived, and I AM removing the thick scales that have distorted their vision and blinded them to their True Identity and Destiny!”

…”WATCH!…THE KINGSHIP MANTLE OF JEHU AND THE ANOINTING OF JAEL WILL CONVERGE IN THE COMING DAYS…; AND MANY WILL SAY…”SEE,..THE MADMAN HAS RISEN WITH THE SHARPENED TENT PEG IN HIS HAND”..!

…I hear the Spirit say,..”YES!…But Watch!..For as the JEHU Mantle and the JAEL Anointing rises in the days ahead,..so the Judas Spirit will be fully exposed in the midst of the chaos,..

..I say,..Watch and Pray,..For the hour of great betrayal is HERE,..and that which was planned long ago by the hands of man,..and the secret deals done behind closed doors will begin to unfold in plain sight,..But Fear Not!..For A Remnant is rising that will be as the violent that will take the Kingdom by force…

…I say,..Look!..Pray,..and Pay Close Attention,..for the Authority of the Kingship Mantle of Jehu will converge with the Power of the Anointing of Jael in the coming days,..and the two shall rise as one,…and many will say,..See!..For the Madman has risen with the sharpened tent peg in his hand”..!!

Pray for America: Contend for the Glory Deluge

Editor’s Note: This article is an excerpt from the 6/8 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” by intercession leader Dutch Sheets , shared by Larry Sparks . Larry, publisher of Destiny Image, called Larry’s book, “Pentecostal Fire,” one of the best revival books he’s ever read. Larry encourages us that revival has begun, challenging us not to take small beginnings lightly; an acorn becomes an oak!
“I invite you to join me every day in prayer for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily 15 Minutes to Him, give a comment, and then we will pray together. As we stand for America” Day Petition, you can join us here. – Dutch Sheets

【Current Events Background: “Tell My Church I am reintroducing her to Pentecostal Fire.” Since Holy Spirit gave me this mandate in early 2021, I wrote the book Pentecostal Fire to provoke readers to cry out for the fullness of revival in their lives and in their generation. “Pentecost” is an old-time word, but if we want to move in Book of Acts-level power, we must return to Pentecost to advance into the future.

Back to the Future

I recently made my own prophetic visit to “Pentecost past.” Like any good Spirit-filled believer, I journeyed to the Bonnie Brae House, which is where the 1906 Azusa Street Revival was ignited. Since I didn’t have an appointment, I wandered outside, praying for any insight Holy Spirit wanted to release. I laid my hands on the outside gate, praying, “Lord, do it again. We need that kind of landscape-changing move of God today.” Good news: it’s stirring and brewing.

Then, Holy Spirit spoke an unusual phrase to my heart. It brought much clarity to what I had been prayerfully processing in this season. He said, “Don’t Stop Short of the Shekinah Glory.” Let me provide some context.

Don’t Criticize the Acorn Because It’s Not Yet an Oak Tree

When God is moving, we can fall into one of two extremes if we’re not careful: Criticism or complacency. Criticism rejects present revival stirrings because the move of God is still in its infancy. Complacency occurs when genuinely enthusiastic Christ-followers claim that what is currently happening is the fullness of the great end-time revival.

What’s happening right now–Asbury and the campus outpourings, the Jesus Revolution movie, and all the prayer, worship and repentance gatherings–is the great revival in acorn size. Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church speaks of revival beginning as an acorn which ultimately grows into a mighty oak tree. It would be foolish to look at an acorn and treat this seed like it was already the mighty oak; it would be equally foolish to completely dismiss the acorn, rejecting it as false because it had not matured into adulthood yet. We don’t reject an infant because he or she is not grown-up yet; we celebrate every step of the child’s development. This should be how we steward revival in every phase.

How Will You Respond to the Trickle?

We don’t reject an acorn because it’s not an oak tree; likewise, we don’t reject a trickle because it’s not yet a mighty rushing river. Ezekiel’s River encounter started with a trickle. The prophet recounts: “Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side” (Ezekiel 47:2). How we steward the ‘acorn’ and the ‘trickle’ is essential, as it reveals to Heaven if we are fit to venture into deeper depths. Heaven does not seek the flawless; simply those who refuse to graduate from being hungry for more.

What caused Ezekiel to move from a trickle to ankle-deep to being fully immersed in the river? A desire to keep moving into deeper waters. After he experiences the river in “trickle” form, we see how Ezekiel decides to move forward: “Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep.” He didn’t criticize the trickle because it was small, nor did he camp out at the trickle, claiming it to be the full River–Ezekiel simply went onward because he was convinced that there was more.

“Don’t Stop Short of the Shekinah Glory”

Back to the Bonnie Brae House prophetic word: “Don’t stop short of the Shekinah glory.”

Shekinah is a Talmudic Hebrew term that describes a Biblical reality. God’s Shekinah Glory is His majestic, manifest presence that visibly dwells among humankind. God manifested His presence in the Old Testament as a pillar of fire and cloud. When He descended upon Mount Sinai, He came with thick smoke, lightning, and all manner of activity that human senses could experience.

The Shekinah was the holy Presence of God that dwelt behind the tabernacle curtain, beyond the veil. It was widely inaccessible to everyday people. One had to navigate appropriate Old Covenant protocol just to be represented before God’s holy Presence by the high priest. Then the cross changed everything.

How do I know the Shekinah glory is accessible to believers today? The New Covenant in Jesus’ blood grants us access to experience in fullness what those in the Old Testament could only taste and see in part. Pentecost was not a theological concept; it was a release of divine glory. Tongues of fire appeared visibly over the heads of the Upper Room company. The sound of a mighty rushing wind brought multitudes to see and hear what was going on. The atoning work of Jesus dealt permanently with the veil of separation that kept mankind at a distance from the Shekinah; now, this glory lives in you, and you have access to drink deep of its endless riches.

We might be witnessing a “trickle” of that Shekinah Glory right now, but I believe Scripture and revival history provokes us to keep crying out and moving forward.

God is Not a Concept or a Theology; He’s a Person

I have a strange “life Scripture.” It’s not “I can do all things through Christ” or Jeremiah 29:11. Mine is Isaiah 64:1 because it represents everything my heart burns for: “Oh, that You would tear open the heavens and come down, that the mountains would quake at Your presence”.

A landscape-changing Holy Spirit outpouring is a theological availability–but what makes an available blessing become an accessible reality for us today? An Isaiah 64:1 cry of desperate, constant prayer. Our intercession builds a bridge between theological availabilities and living realities. Isaiah 64:1 exposes a heart that is dissatisfied with head knowledge and theological concepts; it reveals one who knows that God’s Shekinah glory is available and that we cannot settle for anything less.

Isaiah 64:1 is the appropriate response of a Biblically literate follower of Jesus and student of revival history. I pray that you consume enough Bible information and revival testimony to reach a breaking point—where you can no longer live satisfied with good theology without longing for the living God to tear open the Heavens and break into real-time and space with His Shekinah glory. Oh, that the response would be as it was on the Day of Pentecost–the onlooking masses would witness in awe asking, “What must we do?”
