Message: Dutch Sheets Date: May 16, 2025 Source: GiveHim15
Yesterday, we looked at the biblical account of Mary and Martha, two sisters who entertained Jesus in their home. While Martha was distracted as she prepared Him a meal, Mary was seated at the Lord’s feet, hearing and understanding His words. The passage is so pregnant with revelation that it merits another look.

Nita’s Words of Encouragement
It is common for Christians to be saved and have clean lives, but lack a genuine passion for God. However, how wonderful it is if believers’ hearts are cleansed by the Word of God and are passionate about Jesus! After all, Jesus accompanies us every day with such passion, longing for more from us.
Editorial Special Section:【Voice of Fig】Prophetic Message 578538 We Are Standing on the Threshold of Faith
Message : Jenny Lee Date : June 15, 2025 Source: YouTube video
We are standing on the threshold of faith
- What is a Threshold? A threshold is defined as a point of entry into something or the beginning of something new. So, what is a “threshold of faith”? A threshold of faith is a point where you come to where you can no longer function or live by past limitations. God is leading you into a major breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what is to come. At first, a threshold of faith can feel stressful, trigger emotions, and feel like the enemy is attacking your mind.

【 Current Events/Background: While watching the news this morning, it struck me that many Americans, including myself, have been overreacting to the “mostly peaceful“ riots taking place in Los Angeles and being planned for other cities in America. …Detailed Reading】
【 Prayer 】
- Renew the Hearts and Minds of the American People : Father, turning away from You not only defiles our spirits, but it damages our souls. You created us to know and follow You in every area of our lives. You alone bring knowledge into its right alignment and perspective. Forgive us in America for allowing demons and humanistic logic to shape our thinking, causing us to legitimize insanity. Please restore to us a right mind as a nation; help us rewrite our epitaph. We pray for Your wisdom and understanding to be released in our government, our schools, and above all, our homes. Restore us back to being a nation that exalts Your truth above all else, Your ways above all others. Send a revival of love for Your Word and Your truth. Renew the mind of our nation.
- Prayer for peace and safety : Father, we know that we have allowed spirits of murder, violence, and anarchy to be unleashed in our nation. We ask for Your cleansing and that we be delivered from these spirits; give protection to innocent people and their property. Protect our law enforcement agencies and other groups sent to protect. Deliver those who have been deceived into thinking the riots are just, that this is the best way to help those they feel are being oppressed. Give our leaders a wise strategy as they deal with all of this, and cause the plans of the wicked to fail. Release Your judgments on the efforts and funds of those who underwrite and foment the violence.
- We declare:
- The dark roots and conspiracy behind the globalists in the United States are being exposed.
- Those who conspire to sabotage will be brought to justice.
- The enemy’s plans will be thwarted and have no effect.
- Wicked leaders will be removed and righteous men will arise in their place.
- America will be saved and fully turn back to God!
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

In the Spring, the CLASH!
Excerpt from a word of the Lord received on March 12, 2025:
And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, “The rams have gotten into their positions to vie for dominance. The bilateral rams have gotten into position,” says the Lord. “The rams of Europe have positioned themselves. The rams within the administration of America have all stepped into the area of dominance, and they vie in this time for their portion—unaltered rams who, many, have no direction in ME,” says the Lord.
“These rams have come forth in this time in the spring… the CLASH,” says the Lord. FOR THE CLASHES IN WASHINGTON D.C. SHALL BECOME A PUBLIC SPECTACLE,” says the Lord. “THEY SHALL INCREASE IN ORDER TO REMOVE WHOMEVER DOES NOT BELONG, FOR I THE LORD WILL BRING ORDER TO THE EXCAVATORS WHO ARE DIGGING OUTSIDE OF THEIR SCOPE. I THE LORD SHALL BRING ORDER TO SUCH,” says the Lord.
The Good Shepherd, the Flock, and a Plumb Line in the Church
The following word was given at Church International, Sword of the Spirit Conference, on May 3, 2025:
By the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, by the Spirit of the one true living God, may only the truth and power of Almighty God with authority now come forth, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, let nothing pass through my mouth that doesn’t pass through Your throne first. Allow me, Lord, the humble privilege, Father, of being a vessel of Your power, Lord. Thank You, Father.
The Spirit of the Lord says this day, “I am God, and there is no other. I am before the foundations of the earth were laid. I am ever-present. I am holy. I am a consuming fire,” says the Lord.
“And in this time,” says the Lord, “I am drawing in My people. I am drawing them in deeper,” says the Lord. “I am taking them higher,” says the Lord. “I am drawing them out as the Church. I, the Lord thy God, am dropping one of the biggest and largest and most sobering plumb lines in the Church.
“For I the Lord thy God am the Good Shepherd, and I separate,” says the Lord, “the predators from My flock. And I the Lord endow My flock, and I equip them, and I call them in this time,” says the Lord. “I call them in this two-year period,” says the Lord.
“I am calling My Church with the fire that only comes from on high to be endowed and go forth in this time and speak forth the truth that only comes and proceedeth from the mouth of God. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from of the mouth of God,” says the Lord. “So, when I say you live, you live. It doesn’t matter what the enemy says. It doesn’t matter what rebellion says. If I the Lord say you live, you live… because it is My breath. Every breath you take,” says the Lord, “comes from Me.
“I Am Shifting You”
“I hold time in its place,” says the Lord. “I hold the earth in this place,” says the Lord. “I hold this nation,” says the Lord. “I hold the scales of justice in this nation. Why do you think judges are falling in this hour?” says the Lord. “Because I hold the scales of justice in this nation, and they have been a poor representation of Me on this earth. And the time has come for a great reckoning—a great reckoning, a great cry, a shift in the battle,” says the Lord. “I am shifting you.
“However, you will go forth with a double portion of My might, My authority, My power as you go forth, because the Church in this hour will be the voice crying in the wilderness; it will be ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord!’ And the part of the Church that doesn’t want to do that can die in the valley,” says the Lord. “For I am gathering My little flock unto Me. I am gathering you unto Me. I am equipping you; I am filling you; I am sharpening you in this time. You will be more sensitive than you have ever been spiritually in this time, for the nation requires it, all the way up to the highest seats in the land,” says the Lord.
“I Will Arrest Them”
“I will arrest them, those who want to argue with Me intellectually. I will arrest them, those who want to apply intellectual solutions to a spiritual problem. I will arrest them, those who want to undermine My will in this hour. I the Lord will arrest them, and I will judge them, and I will remove them, and I will place in those positions people whose hearts are completely surrendered to Me, who are equipped by Me, who are called by Me, who have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, who have been down the road of perdition, who understand the nature of the beast and what the battle requires in this hour.”
Entering a Time of the Acts Church
The Lord says, “We are entering that time. We are entering the time of the Acts Church. We are entering the time of the fire that comes from Me. We are entering the time where the Church is to stand up and arrest this nation. And the Church is to stand up against the enemies of Israel and arrest them by taking the sword of the Spirit, by taking My living, active Word. Every jot and tittle in that Word is active; it is living; it has power. And the Church has underused it until now,” says the Lord, “until now. For I am releasing you, and I am commissioning you to operate in the fullness of what I the Lord have called the Church to do in this hour. (Photo via PickPik)
“You are My servants. You are My tools. You are My sharpened weapons. The Church shall become a double-edged sword, and it shall pierce through the deceptions, it shall pierce into the heart of the matter, and it shall also cut through the rebellion.
“The rebellion must end in My house,” says the Lord. “It must end. Did you not think that when you cried out to Me to deliver your nation, I would not inspect My house? Did you not think? And I have come,” says the Lord. “And in this hour there is going to be another sifting,” says the Lord. “There is going to be another sifting of the Church.
“And,” says the Lord, “the prophets that I have raised up in this time, I am filling their mouths with a flow, and a power, and a fire, and a conviction that will make the seats all the way up your legislature to the highest seats in your government, in this state and in the nation, quake in the power that comes from Me,” says the Lord.
“Fully surrender unto Me; fully believe. Faith is a substance of things not seen. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; it is the evidence of things not seen. It is substance, it is evidence, it is tangible; it produces the tangible. You have been equipped, you have been called, you have been sharpened,” says the Lord, “and now I am sending you out—sending you out, endowed with the armor of God, endowed with the Word of God, endowed with prophecy, endowed with instruction. And you, in this hour, will cause the great fires of revival to be struck in this land, in California, in New York,” says the Lord. “It shall take forth into Canada, for it doesn’t matter who sits in that seat,” says the Lord. “For if I speak it, it shall be. You shall even see My fire,” says the Lord, “consume Ukraine and Russia. It shall consume them—the Sauls in this hour,” says the Lord.
Sauls Are Being Dealt With
“Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, as spoken through the prophet. It is, and that’s a Saul. And the Sauls are being dealt with in every walk of life, every walk. The kingdom has been torn away. Every walk,” says the Lord, “from government to the Church to the Vatican to the highest seats in the nations—they’re being dealt with. Their kingdom has already been taken in the realm of the spirit. They may linger a little longer, but then they will fall, because it’s the time of the power to go forth and break forth in this nation and in the oppressed nations of the earth, where they have attempted to suppress and bury My Word. It shall resurrect from the ashes of what they have attempted to do, because I the Lord have spoken it this day.
“My Best I Gave to You, Now I Require Your Best in This Season”
“Submit before Me; surrender before Me; seek Me while I may be found. Call unto Me, and I will show you great and mighty things which you know not, for I am the Lord your God, El Shaddai. I am the God who visited Abraham. I am the God who wrestled with Jacob. I am the God who raised Joseph up to be second in command in a pagan land.
“I am the God that sent My one and only Son, My first fruits. My best I gave to you; now I require your best in this season, because the collision course that is coming,” says the Lord, “it is dangerous, and it is wicked, and it is timed by the devourer and his disciples. However, the Church can rise up in this hour and put a stop to the enemy’s plans that come from the pits of Hell, that were birthed and sent into the earth, and sent out upon the destroyers. For the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy; that is his agenda. However, I the Lord have come to give you life and life more abundant. I have spoken it so, and so you shall have it this day.”
Thus says the Lord of Hosts, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I Come to Visit My People”
The following word was received on May 4, 2025:
“ALL praise, glory, and honor be to the Lord of Hosts, maker of Heaven and earth, El Shaddai. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Behold, I come quickly,” says the Lord, “with might and power. I judged the matters of men and nations, and MY judgments are righteous, they are holy, and to My Kingdom there is no mortal end. (Photo via Pexels)
And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, “BEHOLD, I come to visit My people,” says the Lord. “I come in this time, in this hour, to visit MY people. I have come for their words,” says the Lord, “for reinforcements have been dispatched to break through.”
“In a time,” says the Lord, “where you are at the precipice of great transition, of great power; where My people are at the precipice of being positioned and utilized in greater ways—in ways that shall take the abilities I have placed in them, I have sharpened in them, to greater levels of power and precision—at a time when [the enemy] attempts a push of persecution, where the enemy attempts to puncture and wound.
“Behold, I have given unto My people power to trample upon serpents and scorpions and against all the power of the enemy, so nothing by any means shall hurt you. You have been endowed with power and authority from on high, for the battle has shifted; the great march has begun that shall become a powerful stampede in the spirit to break down barriers that My children have been standing at for years. And in this time, those barriers shall be crushed, and you shall walk into new territory, greater territory—Pentecost,” says the Lord, “fire and power; for if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Be thou lifted up and cast into the sea,’ and it shall obey. And in this time, the mountains that have been faced in your lives and in your nation, you shall speak to them with the faith and the vision and the power and the conviction for them to move.
“For the enemy has attempted to set up camp on such; he has attempted to lay claim. He is desperately and destructively attempting to hold onto what I have ruled from My throne must be given unto My children, who have the conviction to take new territory and to take such back that has been in the possession of the enemy of the kingdom of darkness for decades,” says the Lord. “And in this time, it shall and will be taken back, for he is a thief, and the thief in this hour is about to be caught in a trap that they shall not bypass in this time,” says the Lord.
“Red Nations Shall Experience a Red Dawn”
Thus says the Lord, “Behold, the red nations shall experience a red dawn. For grace has quickly thinned to a vapor… to a vapor, as such leaders are upon a crumbling pedestal. For behold, I corner you as you have persecuted and cornered My people, as you have prostituted yourself to the gods of the earth, to the woman on the beast of Europe,” says the Lord. “For I the Lord am raising up enemies against you in this hour, for judgment has entered your courts; it has entered your halls for those swinging a sword unnecessarily. Those who continue wars of attrition for the sake of a public stage shall fall in a sobering way in this time. For the kingdoms have already been taken and judged before My court, and the verdicts shall now come down, including Ukraine; for you have entered covenant with witches and rebellion, and now there shall be a wounding in battle,” says the Lord.
“For the union of China and Russia and Iran shall be struck for a time, and a severe deflation and two-thirds of its combined power in that union shall be taken from the current leaders,” says the Lord. “For this is a time where the old wineskins are failing, for the people cry out in those nations, and the new wine is being pressed, and it is destroying the old wineskin,” says the Lord.
“Assassination attempts and successes in this time,” says the Lord. “Be on guard in your nation,” says the Lord. “For the Church has the power to step in the gap and thwart crashes that have been set into motion by those holdouts of ‘Saul,’ the holdouts of ‘Ahab’ that desire to crush the people that sit in their high place—an attempt to call My people the ‘troublers’ of their nation, that attempt to call them troublers of Israel. In this time,” says the Lord, “that shall and will be thrown down, for I the Lord am Sovereign; I sit on the highest throne. Leaders of the nations of the earth—paper doll leaders—that have been a mirage, a prop, a ruse, I shall shake you in this hour, and I shall break chains of oppression and attrition in these nations that have bound them for decades,” says the Lord.
It Has Come to a Head
“As the power and authority from on high is increased in the Church,” says the Lord, “it shall cause a great pressure. And you shall see one rung—one piece of chain—break, and with force shall throw the entire chain down, that it shall make a great sound and a great crash and a great tumult in the world,” says the Lord. “The outcry shall be great,” says the Lord. “It shall be sobering,” says the Lord. “However,” says the Lord, “it has come to a head, and in this time it must be dealt with.”
A Plague of Events, Wolves, and Mindsets—They Are No Match for the Power of God
And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, “I the Lord am beyond the world of intellectualism; I am beyond figures on a page; I am beyond the war of attrition between those who trade in the earth. And I the Lord am piercing the cabinet of your nation in this time, for some have gotten shaky and are about to veer way off course to get caught in a ditch,” says the Lord. “I the Lord shall cause a sharp maneuver in this time to redirect such and get the attention of your president,” says the Lord. “For plans have already been set in motion for another plague of events. Plans have already been set in motion to stop the forward motion as you go through a narrow and treacherous part of the valley that the enemy has deployed forces to attempt to send wolves and block the way,” says the Lord. (Photo via Flickr)
“However,” says the Lord, “wolves are no match for My power. They are only as strong as their numbers,” says the Lord. “And when their pack attempts to engage, I, your Shepherd, shall put them down but not without a change of mindset within the Church, within the Body, within the cabinet. For some very tempting offers have been dangled, looking as if the fruit shall multiply. However, it shall open the door for rebellion and for pride and for a physical attack,” says the Lord, “that I the Lord shall intervene. However, it shall be another sobering wake-up call to the nation and to the Church.
“I am sounding the alarm,” says the Lord. “My people must be ready and willing to go where I have ordained them to go, to say what I have ordained them to say, and dare to believe for the greater outpouring that is needed upon the dry areas of your nation,” says the Lord.
“Power that shakes a nation,” says the Lord, “that arrests a nation, that arrests leaders in Europe, that arrests the Ayatollah, that arrests the leader of China, for that snake shall rear up for one more strike and be wrangled and put down,” says the Lord. “I am arresting you, for I Am, and there is no other besides Me.
Judgment, Justice, and Joy
“The gods of this world, of nations—the rulers of darkness—are being judged,” says the Lord, “along with their props. For My power, in greater measure, at a greater level, has been authorized from My throne to now enter the earth—the JOY of the Lord, the justice of Yahweh, multiplied. And you shall see such power strike around the time of Pentecost,” says the Lord, “going to July, as I the Lord am dealing with those who have launched attacks of persecution against Israel, who have in the media done such, who have shown truly what was stirring in their hearts for years against My people. For an active covenant is being attacked; the armies of Israel are being cursed. I the Lord shall be the balm in Gilead that deals with such.
“A mortal wound—fire against Hamas,” says the Lord, “for the fire they caused. A strange thing shall occur,” says the Lord, “as your camp is struck, and the Palestinians shall turn on you with a greater venom than you have instilled in them for My people. For this is the time of the great reversals” says the Lord. “What you witnessed decades ago during wars, you shall see the reversals in those nations in this time.
“For I have given My people a window to step on the head of the serpent and subdue him in order that the greater works may come forth, the greater assignments, the greater power. The head of a serpent shall be stepped on in the White House that has been parading and disguised as another,” says the Lord. “Physical evidence shall even come forth of this on the White House lawn, for the head of the serpents are about to be crushed, for the earth is MY footstool. Do not care what the world says, what the persecutors say, what digital militias say,” says the Lord, “for their rebellion shall be put down as well in this time.
With Ascension Comes Pressure, So Press Into Him
“Let your focus be on obeying and completing what I have assigned you and pressing through into greater territory as you unapologetically speak truth that will pierce the side of the enemy. It will puncture the prognosticators; it will press those deployed to attempt to crush you. However, they shall be crushed in the process by their own campaign, by their own attacks, for I am the Lord, and I have spoken it this day, and it shall go forth and accomplish what I the Lord have ruled.
“I am mounting you up with wings like eagles. You shall come to higher altitudes; you shall see what you could never see before. However, with ascension comes pressure,” says the Lord. “Press into Me, that you may handle such pressure with power and grace that flows from My throne,” says the Lord. “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God,” says the Lord. “It has been spoken this day, and so it shall be confirmed.” Thus says the Lord of Hosts, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Editorial Special Section: Ella Onakoya: A Season to Soar on Wings of Prayer & Praise
Message: Ella Onakoya Date: Jun 2, 2025 Source: Elijah List
A Dream of Parachutes
There is a clarion call from Heaven for us to stay and abide in the heavenly places where we have been raised with Christ Jesus. In times of distractions and attempts by the enemy to take us from God’s secret place, the word of the Lord is to stay the course and abide in His presence, for this is our place of victory and dominion.
Fairly recently, the Lord gave me a dream to highlight this message. In the dream I was in a helicopter, and several others were in their helicopters too. We were on our way to a designated spiritual assignment.
Suddenly our helicopters stopped in midair, and we were told to come out and make our way to our destination that was still several miles away. We were shocked and asked why we were being told to get off our aircrafts in midair and not wait till we landed on the ground to leave the aircraft as was the normal practice for flights.
The answer from our pilot, or flight attendant, was that we all needed to make our journey to our destination on the parachutes we would be given. We were not to walk on ground to our destination but soar with the parachutes till we got to where we needed to be. Each of us were then given parachutes and pushed out of the helicopters to continue our journey.
In the dream I noticed that some of us had good parachutes that helped us soar quickly to where we needed to be, but others had faulty parachutes that wouldn’t open or fly properly. Some people with the faulty parachutes landed quickly on the ground but far away, miles from where they needed to be. Those individuals started making their way to the destination by walking. As they walked, I saw many distractions and interruptions on their path. It was clear that the reason why we were given the instructions to soar instead of walk to our destination was to avoid these ground-level distractions and interruptions. (Photo via Pexels)
I woke up and received the following revelations regarding the dream:
Soar on the Wings of Praise and Prayer
This is a season to soar on wings of praise and prayer. Praise allows us to see from Heaven’s perspective. We are called to see from Heaven’s perspective so as not to be distracted or dismayed by difficult earthly perspectives.
An encouraging testimony of operating in the spirit of praise in the midst of earthly difficulties happened last year when I was invited to speak at a church that I knew was going through many difficult circumstances. In particular, they were unable to pay off their hugely expensive building mortgage, and they were under serious threat of losing their building.
As I started to minister at the church, the Lord led me to sing almost throughout the whole service. As I sang these Heaven-inspired songs, I received downloads of words of knowledge that released many physical healings to the sick. I also received words of prophetic strategies of favor for the church building.
Recently, I heard from the pastor that the very impossible situation had been resolved. They had received supernatural favor from the building owner (just as I prophesied as I ministered in praise), and they are no longer losing their church building! I believe victory was released to that church as I led them to soar on the wings of prayer and praise.
Faith to Fly
Secondly, the difference between the good and faulty parachutes is faith. In my dream, faith was the ingredient that caused the parachutes to fly properly. Some immediately believed they could fly and began to soar. Those who doubted saw their parachutes collapse. I encourage you to keep your shields of faith up and not doubt. I hear in my spirit, “Faith will cause you to encounter the goodness of God.”
Our faith is the ingredient that empowers our prayer and praise, which is what accelerates us to our intended destination by God.
In my dream, the faulty parachutes were also symbolic of false beliefs and lies of the enemy that some have believed. A strategy of the enemy is to cause interruptions to our God-ordained destinies by getting us to believe the lies spoken to us. I encourage you to put on your armor and guard your loins with truth (Ephesians 6:14). (Photo via Pexels)
This is the word of the Lord for those with faulty parachutes: “Even those with faulty parachutes, for the reasons given in this word, are not to despair but to put on hope and faith, because as faith ignites their hearts, they will begin to soar again.”
I sense the Lord’s encouragement to the ones with the faulty parachutes through these words, “Don’t despair; you will yet again fly as you lift up faith-filled prayers and praise.” As your faith soars, interruptions and delays will give way for you to enter into your destination intended by God.
Today, I pray for a release of faith-filled prayers and praise to rise from within our hearts so that we can soar and fly without hindrances. Beloved, it’s your season to fly!

Editorial Special Section: Hank Kunneman: The Pentecostal Experience
Message: Hank Kunneman Date: June 8, 2025 Source: Elijah List
A Crucial Moment in Church History
As Spirit-filled Believers, we know that the season of Pentecost was one of the most crucial moments in Church history. Coupled with that powerful event is the personal Pentecostal experience in the life of the Believer—an experience earmarked by the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Many Christian circles and denominations have negated and even omitted the importance of the Pentecostal experience for Christians today, and the value of speaking in tongues. Thus, fewer and fewer Christians are speaking in tongues. As you may know, many groups have claimed this experience has passed away or is no longer relevant. Others believe that while some Christians are gifted by God to speak in tongues, others are not.
Pentecost Is on a Comeback!
This is all so far from the truth! Not only do we need the power of Pentecost working in our lives more than ever, but the Bible clearly teaches that every Believer should speak in tongues!
We deeply believe that Pentecost is on a comeback! There is a revival of the Pentecostal experience that is about to sweep through churches in a fresh way once again.
There is also a fresh move of the Spirit to renew the power of Pentecost in the personal lives of Believers everywhere. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
We need the power of the Holy Spirit working daily in our lives in the same powerful way the early Church needed it!
Ask the Holy Spirit to Fill You
So we want to encourage you to focus afresh on the power of praying in tongues and join with Christians around the world to celebrate Pentecost.
Let this special day mark the moment when you increase the amount of time you spend daily praying in tongues. Undoubtedly, this will unlock amazing new measures of the supernatural in your life.
It’s time for the whole Church to rise to a new level of power through the Pentecostal experience!
If you are not filled with the Holy Spirit and don’t speak in tongues yet, simply ask the Holy Spirit to fill you!
We often encourage those seeking to speak in tongues for the first time to simply open their mouths and begin moving their tongues. Begin to add volume to whatever syllables you hear in your heart—even if they seem small at first.
Remember, even the early Believers had to open their mouths at will in order to speak in tongues as they trusted that the Holy Spirit was giving them a divine utterance.

Editorial Special Section: Dutch Sheets: The Distractions
Message: Dutch Sheets Date: May 16, 2025 Source: GiveHim15
Yesterday, we looked at the biblical account of Mary and Martha, two sisters who entertained Jesus in their home. While Martha was distracted as she prepared Him a meal, Mary was seated at the Lord’s feet, hearing and understanding His words. The passage is so pregnant with revelation that it merits another look.
“Now as they were traveling along, [Jesus] entered a certain village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. And she had a sister called Mary, who moreover was listening to the Lord’s word, seated at His feet. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him, and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving along? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only a few things are necessary, really only one, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:38-42).
I’ve already acknowledged my tendency toward Martha-ism. I am important, after all! Someone once gave me a double-billed cap – one pointing left, the other right – imprinted with the words, “I’m their leader. Which way did they go?”
I still wear it proudly! How sadly appropriate is this cap. There was a time when I needed only two of me to accomplish all of the “urgent” and “important” things I’m “called” to do. Now, I need me in triplicate. And my Martha ministry is still growing – soon I’ll need to be omnipresent!
Jesus disagreed with this outlook on ministry. In a loving yet stern way, He told Martha she was “worried and bothered about so many things” (v. 41). Not good, especially when we take a deeper look. “Worried” is merimnao, which has in its root meaning the concept of dividing or separating something. It is revealing that worry is defined by a “divided” mind. When we’re worried about something, no matter how hard we try to focus on other things, a piece of our mind keeps being drawn back to our concern. Our mind, therefore, is described as being “divided”. Martha, it seems, had so much going on in her life that her mind was divided between many concerns; “so many things” was the phrase Jesus used. And like all of us at times, her balancing act wasn’t working as well as she thought. She was “worried and bothered”.
Martha was, in all likelihood, servant-motivated. She was probably one of those gifted people who can do several things at once, and was most likely a hard worker. In this instance, however, Mary had it right. Multitasking can be good, but not when Jesus is talking.
The Lord appreciates hard work, and He knows that at times we are going to be very busy. But He also wants times when we’re all His. Take the cap off and sit for a while.
The word bothered is also painfully revealing. It is the Greek word turbazo, which is derived from the Latin word turba, meaning “a crowd”. Webster says “disturb”, “perturb”, and “turbulent” are all derivatives of the same word. When life gets too crowded, we get disturbed. Perturbed comes next, followed by turbulence. Like an airplane flying through a storm, our emotions bounce up and down, making us short-tempered and irritable. Our health suffers, as do our relationships. Martha was not only irritated at Mary, she was even a little miffed at Jesus. “Do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me,” she grumbled. Barking out orders to God in accusatory language probably created just a little bit of turbulence in this room full of people!
Mary wasn’t the problem, however, and Jesus certainly wasn’t. Martha simply needed to take her cap off, slow down, and listen. Her “crowded” mind couldn’t shut out all the noise. Many offices nowadays have ambient noise generators. They admit a constant but quiet sound, low enough so as not to be disturbing, yet loud enough to drown out other noises. They’re used in phone centers to drown out other voices, in counseling offices to provide privacy, and in various other businesses.
Martha’s ambient noise generator was her service for Christ. Amazing, but true. Believe me, I understand. Her generator was the rattling of dishes, the banging of cupboards, and the clanging of utensils; my generator is the internal noise caused by travel, preaching and teaching, writing, correspondence, meetings, Give Him 15s, and more. All good, but not when they muffle the voice of the Master. Your ambient noise generator may be running a business, driving nails, keeping books, raising kids, social media, or even a hobby. It doesn’t matter what it is, just turn it off once in a while.
Mary didn’t have one of those contraptions. She was mesmerized by His words. Her attitude was, “If He wants something to eat, He’d better stop talking. Because until He does, I’m not leaving this spot.”
Why did Martha feel differently? Perhaps it was her personality, or could it be that Jesus had grown a little too familiar to her? Scholars agree that Jesus was very fond of Martha, Mary, and their brother, Lazarus, and stayed in their home when in the area. Had Martha heard Him enough that the excitement had worn off? Does this ever happen to us?
In Christianity today, Philip Yancey writes:
I remember my first visit to Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. Rings of Japanese and German tourists surrounded the geyser, their video cameras trained like weapons on the famous hole in the ground. A large, digital clock stood beside the spot, predicting 24 minutes until the next eruption. My wife and I passed the countdown in the dining room of Old Faithful Inn overlooking the geyser. When the digital clock reached 1 minute, we, along with every other diner, left our seats and rushed to the window to see the big, wet event.
I noticed that immediately, as if on signal, a crew of busboys and waiters descended on the tables to refill water glasses and clear away dirty dishes. When the geyser went off, we tourists oohed and aahed and clicked our cameras; a few spontaneously applauded. But, glancing back over my shoulder, I saw that not a single waiter or busboy – not even those who had finished their chores – looked out the huge window. Old Faithful, grown entirely too familiar, had lost its power to impress them.
I’m afraid this describes many Christians’ relationship with the one we call Faithful and True. We’ve known Him so long, become so accustomed to Him, well, you know…
Don’t ever stop being impressed with Jesus! Get out of the kitchen once in a while. Slow down. STOP! Fight tenaciously for quality time at His feet and never lose your hunger for the pleasure of His company.
Pray with me:
Father, we thank You for desiring to communicate with us. But so often we let Your voice be drowned out by other noises. Help us to always remember what is most important – You. You are worthy of the highest affections of our hearts. The harsh yoke of busyness and heavy burden of over-activity, we remove now and lay them at Your feet.
Holy Spirit, help us to continually break away from the bustle and shut out all the noise. Today, we choose to cease from striving, so that with singleness of heart, we can rest at Christ’s feet, and be washed in Your words and love. May busyness never crowd out of our lives precious opportunities to enjoy the pleasure of Your company.
And Father, we want those now coming into the family to be born into a “presence” movement, an “I’ve tasted and I’ve seen” movement. May they be “Presence Junkies!” Addicted! Give us this type of revival!! We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Our Decree:
We decree that Jesus is building a church that will listen first, then do exploits.

Editorial Special Section:Nita Johnson: “Union with the Lord” Q&A – About Life Growth
Nita’s Words of Encouragement
It is common for Christians to be saved and have clean lives, but lack a genuine passion for God. However, how wonderful it is if believers’ hearts are cleansed by the Word of God and are passionate about Jesus! After all, Jesus accompanies us every day with such passion, longing for more from us.
When our sins are washed away by the truth and His love, and we begin to run toward the good things God has given us in Christ, the Father’s heart is filled with joy that He gave His Son so that we can experience this.
Nita Prayer
Father, we cannot express in words how thankful we are for You. You teach us how to walk with You and You succeed in transforming us. This brings You great joy. How we love You for the many ways You work every day to mold whoever is willing into Your image, according to Your power, authority, and love. Father, it is so wonderful and amazing! Thank You for being with us tonight and helping us to know more deeply Your love and grace. Amen.
Nita Q &A
- Q: I am often held back in my journey with God by my fear of trusting Him fully. How can I overcome this?
A: Continue to resist fear and don’t let it control you. Spend time studying the Bible, which will greatly strengthen you. In particular, read and study Romans 5-8 , not only to understand the content, but also to actually live it. God’s love is the key, especially pray that He will help you live out the love of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 .
Repent to God about your fear and ask for grace to overcome it. Ultimately, He will do it, but you must also work to cleanse yourself.
He told me another thing on this subject. One day while walking by the lake, I was so moved by His grace, mercy, and love that I said to Him, “Lord, I love You so much. I just can’t find words to express how much I love You.”
He said to me, “Nita, when words fail to say ‘I love you,’ obedience speaks volumes.” I immediately knew that every time I obeyed Him, what rose before His throne was, “Jesus, I love You! I will always strive to obey. If this is enough to express my love for You, I will obey even more.”
So, you might as well keep this sentence in mind and meditate on it carefully.
- Q: How do you strike a balance between obedience to God and obedience to spiritual leaders?
A: Find a ministry that is more balanced. If necessary, give up other ministries. Remember Martha and Mary. The Lord does not tell us in His Word to be involved in five, six, seven, or even a dozen different ministries. He wants you to find a ministry that brings some satisfaction to your heart, helps you love and know Jesus more, and learn how to be the person He wants you to be. It will be good for you to find one or two such ministries.
- Q: Is the Jubilee Anointing and Baptism of Fire part of the preparation for our “union with the Lord”?
A: There will be a great outpouring before the end of the world. The Jubilee anointing mentioned in Isaiah 61 will help us mature and reach the state of “full-grown men” described in Ephesians 4:12-13 .
If you think you are a mature Christian but you still sin, you should read these and other scriptures, reflect on your life, and repent of your immaturity. Pray that God would pour out His Holy Spirit to help us resist the sin nature (the spirit of sin) and other evil spirits lurking in our hearts. Ask the Lord to pour out His love and lead you on the path to God. Unless you can walk on this path, you are not as mature as you think.
If you are always criticizing others in your heart, if you always feel that others are inferior to you, then you should admit that you have made a mistake, apologize to the Lord, and ask Him to clearly point out where you have strayed from the right path. This way you will grow faster and please Him more. He will do all this for you. I know He will do it because He did it for me.
- Question: In our pursuit of union with the Lord, how can we avoid the mistakes of asceticism, and how can we distinguish between the two?
A: Don’t go to extremes. Just obey God’s leading. Simply practicing abstinence will not bring you into union with the Lord. The key is whether you love Jesus so much that He becomes everything to you.
God will bring about great changes in the lives and hearts of those who are willing to turn away from the world. But this does not mean you have to kick everyone out of your life. The most important thing is that you do not continue to persist in behaviors that offend God because they will keep Him from coming to you.
- Question: I am a single mother and have almost no time to pray. How should I pursue “union with the Lord”?
A : No matter what, you must make time for Bible reading and prayer. I think of the mother of the Wesley family. If I remember correctly, she had 13 children. Each of them became an excellent Christian leader because they had a strict but loving mother. And she would go to her prayer room every day to pray for an hour. In that hour, the Lord did many wonderful things in her and through her, and brought her into “union with the Lord.”
Therefore, ask Him for grace, and He will help you, because He desires you to do so. Set your schedule, starting with 15 minutes, 15 minutes of Bible reading, 15 minutes of prayer. Then, gradually increase to 20 minutes, until the total time of Bible reading and prayer reaches 1 hour. Please do not make any excuses, God will give you grace to help you.
- Q: Is the anointing in Isaiah 11 the same as the anointing in Psalm 68:13 ?
[ Psalm 68:13 When you lie down among the sheepfold, you will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with gold. ]
A: The anointing mentioned in Isaiah 11 is a yoke of governance, not for ordinary Christians. Those who are given this anointing authority are appointed by God before the foundation of the world to fulfill the duties of governance. If you are not given this authority, don’t worry, you will have everything you need as a child of God.
Psalm 68 is filled with great promises from God. Verse 13 refers to women who are doing end-time ministry, though not 100% of them are women. They are refined to a special place of glory, so that their disposition and character are like those of doves. They will be a great blessing to Christ’s people.
- Q: How can we know that we have entered the first level of “union with the Lord”? (Question from 5/22/25)
A: I’m not sure, but I think so – at least He does to me.
Each level brings positive and dramatic changes to your inner person. For example, you may have many fears, some so deep that you feel you will never overcome them. The Lord may remove these fears from our hearts at a certain level. You will feel them disappear instantly, it is amazing. During one level, my assistant and I noticed and listed 32 changes in me. If you have any doubts in this regard, I suggest you confirm with the Lord.
I hope the above content is helpful to you. May God bless you!

Editorial Special Section: 【Voice of Fig】 PProphetic Message 578538 We Are Standing on the Threshold of Faith
Message : Jenny Lee Date : June 15, 2025 Source: YouTube video
We are standing on the threshold of faith
What is a Threshold? A threshold is defined as a point of entry into something or the beginning of something new. So, what is a “threshold of faith”? A threshold of faith is a point where you come to where you can no longer function or live by past limitations. God is leading you into a major breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what is to come. At first, a threshold of faith can feel stressful, trigger emotions, and feel like the enemy is attacking your mind.
- Sometimes it can even be like a roller coaster of the soul, with ups and downs – God is bringing precious things to the surface to set you free and bring you relief. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy wants to push you lower. God is calling you to soar like an eagle, but the enemy wants to keep you stuck on the ground like a turkey.
- God’s calling is for us to go with Him from glory to glory ( 2 Corinthians 3:18 ), so He is always leading us into deeper truths – about who we are, our calling as children, leaders, parents. There is always a deeper capacity, anointing, character, and fruit in our lives that we are called to live out.
- So we experience thresholds of faith not because something has gone wrong, not because everything has fallen apart, but because we have asked God for “more.” This pressure is actually what we prayed for.
- But we often forget that before breakthroughs can happen, God first upgrades our inner operating system. If He allows breakthroughs to happen before we experience transformation, we will collapse and be swallowed up. The problem is that in this consumer-oriented Christian culture we have inherited, we want the situation to change, but we resist the necessary inner changes. We avoid deliverance, avoid healing, avoid rebuke, and avoid the refining fire.
- We want the “good” without the “fiery” and the “promise” without the “pruning.” But that’s not how it works.
- Right now, the Lord is pulling us higher, but we are struggling, in tension, in moments when everything seems to be falling apart.
- The promise has not been fulfilled, and God doesn’t seem to have made a move. That’s where the battle is—because it feels too late, like the eleventh hour, and you think, “How can I believe in God again when the last promise didn’t come true?”
- But the Bible says: “By faith Sarah, Abraham’s wife herself, received power to conceive, even though she was past childbearing age, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.” – Hebrews 11:11
- Sarah’s breakthrough seemed impossible. She was past childbearing age. But God was working in her. She had to shift her focus from herself to God’s power. She could no longer rely on her own efforts but on God’s power to perform miracles.
- That’s how you know you’re on the threshold—you feel “dry” and like nothing is working, but God is calling you right now: to believe again, to dream again, to take another step into something new that you’re not even ready to believe in yet.
- He is not looking for “perfect faith”, He just wants a “willing” response.
- The threshold is where we often feel most broken, vulnerable, and unworthy. But that is exactly where God chooses to expand you.
- It’s not when everything is in place, it’s not when you feel strong, it’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into something new. As I prayed about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan River,” and I immediately knew what the Lord was showing me.
- In the Bible, the Jordan River symbolizes the threshold of calling, identity, and breakthrough.
- Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites cross the Jordan and enter the Promised Land.
- 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan and was taken up to heaven.
- 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed the Jordan with a doubled anointing.
- Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River and then went into the wilderness.
- Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the Jabbok River (which connected to the Jordan River) and left his old identity and life.
- I believe we are standing at the Jordan River right now, with our feet about to step in. You say, “Oh, no deeper water! It’s too scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I fall?”
- This is how it feels in our hearts right now. I feel it myself, God is expanding me, and I know it is for my good. But on a natural level, it looks like battle, mental attacks, exhaustion, plunder, failure, shut-ins, confusion, and feeling like more than I can handle.
- Why? Because God is showing us that what we relied on in the past—our efforts, our gifts, our own strength—can no longer sustain us into the next season.
- Meanwhile, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to get you to give up at the threshold. He wants you to “break off” at the very moment of breakthrough. But God is asking you: Are you willing to trust me at this moment? Are you willing to believe, even when it seems like nothing is working?
- A few months ago, I was in this moment, surrounded by doubt and pressure. I heard the Lord whisper to me, “The only way you can survive this season is to stay at My feet and remain in My presence.” This is the key to crossing the threshold – not knowledge, not connections, not effort, but surrender. So I prophesy to you now: Just as Caleb and Joshua stayed in the tabernacle and came out with a “different spirit”, so will you. You will cross this threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. God is tearing down your old operating system and removing the pain and shame of your past. “I have today rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” – Joshua 5:9
- The shame, the failure, the false labels are being cut off. You are being re-commissioned. This is the threshold of faith that you have been praying for, and now is the time to step into it, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Divine Interruptions
- During one of my prayers, I heard the Lord say one word: “interruptions.” This June will be a month filled with many “interruptions.” Some of these “interruptions” come from the enemy, but others – divine interruptions – come from the Lord Himself. He is orchestrating these moments to bring His people into deeper purpose, intimacy, and revelation. As recorded in the Bible, divine interruptions change destinies, awaken dormant callings, and manifest His glory. These interruptions often come when we least expect them, and they usually catch us off guard, but God uses these experiences in new ways to accelerate us into His destiny and calling for us.
- “Crush them like I did” I had a spiritual encounter with the Lord on May 30, 2025. I was walking hand in hand with the Lord, enjoying His presence, when I suddenly saw some long, thin green snakes coming out of the ground, raising their heads like cobras… They were not real cobras, but were imitating the posture of a cobra.
- I bravely said, “Lord, I will crush them with my hands!” But the Lord stopped me and said, “No, don’t do that.” He then said, “You have to crush them the same way I did.” I asked, “Lord, how do you crush them?”

Pray for America: Things Are “Mostly” Okay – Pray for an End to Violence
Editor’s Note: This article is reprinted from Dutch Sheets’ June 10th posting of “Give Him 15 Minutes.” For prayers and proclamations to protect America’s waterways, click here; 24 Points of Prayer – To Stand Against Terrorist Attacks in the United States, click here. )
【 Current Events/Background: While watching the news this morning, it struck me that many Americans, including myself, have been overreacting to the “mostly peaceful“ riots taking place in Los Angeles and being planned for other cities in America. This revelation helped me see that we have also been overreacting to other “mostly” situations, as well, adding unnecessary stress to our lives. My revelation could have been a result of the light from the “mostly peaceful” fires in the background, or the “mostly calm” demeanor of the news reporter as he dodged bricks. Whatever the reason, I am experiencing tremendous relief.
The life-changing revelation I received was that “mostly” is good enough. Conservative Christians, for example, need to lighten up: believing most of Scripture is good enough; God was right most of the time. And whoever said a little leaven leavens the whole lump had to be exaggerating; mostly free from the leaven of sin is good enough. If most of the apples in the barrel are good, the others won’t actually be spoiled. And a loaf of bread mostly free of mold is fine; don’t overreact and throw out the whole loaf.
Lawlessness in our nation is nothing to be concerned about. Obeying most speed limits, stopping at most stop signs and red lights, and staying mostly on your side of the yellow line is good enough. Most homes in America are safe; only a few have been taken over by squatters. Most items in our department stores are still there; people can only take up to $800 worth without paying. Quit worrying about it!
The Biden White House was mostly free of cocaine; there was only a bag or two here and there. Our elections are mostly legal and fair; don’t be afraid. And by the way, most of our presidents have been sane and alert. Don’t worry about one.
And what about sports? There are mostly only women in women’s sports and locker rooms; only a few guys. No big deal. Regarding boxing matches, mostly legal punches are good enough; only one or two below-the-belt shots shouldn’t hurt anything. And mostly obeying rules on the basketball court, football field, and baseball diamond should be sufficient. Breaking the rules occasionally is to be expected when the competition heats up.
Feeling better yet? Your life would be so much less stressful if you would settle for “mostly.”
The lack of common sense in our nation presently is a bit staggering. As is sometimes said, “Common sense is not as common as it once was.” Some Supreme Court justices admittedly don’t know the difference between a man and a woman. (Remove the women on the Court and have only men, and you’ll be surprised how quickly they learn the difference.) It is now okay to groom small children for gender confusion and permanently neuter them. Two hundred billion dollars’ worth of waste and fraud in our government annually is no longer a big deal. That is billion, with a “B.” Paying hundreds of billions of dollars a year to Americans who don’t want to work is now okay. (The verse in the Bible [2 Thessalonians 3:10] that says if you don’t work, you don’t get to eat is no longer relevant today.) People who violate due process to come into America demand due process to be removed. Some politicians and judges agree. I’m concerned that many people in America may now be “mostly” crazy! Common sense is certainly not as common as it once was.
The good news is that most Americans are not buying this “mostly peaceful” nonsense. Also, some good news regarding this mess is that salvation – bringing God into a person’s life – restores common sense. His Word can even heal damaged brain cells. A young man I met at Bible College had “fried” his brain on drugs. After coming to Christ, he spent five to six hours each day reading God’s Word, and the power therein healed his damaged brain. When I met him shortly thereafter, he was brilliant and had regained his proficiency as a concert pianist.
Granted, this is not the same thing as common sense. But the point is simply that when God comes into our hearts and minds, He enables us to think more clearly…and sanely. Revival, saving millions of people, will raise the level of common sense in our nation. Stay the course. Appeal to heaven for the Third Great Awakening.
“Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel awoke one morning to read his own obituary in the local newspaper. It stated: ‘Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who died yesterday, devised a way for more people to be killed in a war than ever before, and he died a very rich man.”
“Actually, it was Alfred’s older brother who had died; a newspaper reporter had bungled the epitaph.
“But the account had a profound effect on Nobel. He decided he wanted to be known for something other than developing the means to kill people efficiently and amassing a fortune in the process. So he initiated the Nobel Prize, the award for scientists and writers who foster peace.
“Nobel said, ‘Every man ought to have the chance to correct his epitaph in midstream and write a new one.’”
Revival will rewrite our epitaph.

Pray for Israel: Current Events and Prayer focus this Week (6/13)
Editor’s Note : This article on current affairs in Israel and other nations is reprinted from a post on June 15 in the “Caring for Israel Telegram Group ”; the prayer focus is in reference to the prayer focus issued by “ Israel Intercessors ” (613 ) every Friday for all intercessors to refer to and pray for.
Israel and other nations
Israel
- Operation Rising Lion
- Netanyahu said: Iran plans to have 10,000 missiles in 3 years and 20,000 in 6 years, each missile carries a ton of explosives, which poses an existential threat. I have witnessed this threat for more than 40 years and pointed out that the Ayatollah regime’s possible possession of nuclear weapons is the greatest threat to humanity. Soon, Israeli Air Force planes will be seen flying over Tehran – we will strike every stronghold and target of the Ayatollah regime. The Iranian regime is at an unprecedented stage of weakness, and the Iranian people should seize the opportunity to resist. The war is against the Iranian regime, not the people, and the goal is to eliminate the Iranian threat and let the Iranian people achieve freedom.
- Lieutenant General Zamir, Chief of the IDF General Staff, announced Operation “Rising Lion”. This is a bold and comprehensive military operation aimed at combating the growing threat of the Iranian regime, because Israel can no longer stand by and face a regime “determined to destroy us”. Looking back at the founding of the State of Israel, only 77 years after the Holocaust, today’s battle is not only a military operation, but also a continuation of the Jewish tradition of survival and self-defense. The IDF will create a more secure future for Israel through unity and determination, based on Jewish and Zionist values.
- Defense Minister Katz said that anyone who tries to destroy Israel will be destroyed, and stressed that Iran will pay a greater price for its aggression. He congratulated the IDF on its major achievements in Operation Karawi, which targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders and nuclear scientists, and said the IDF will continue to operate to thwart Iran’s nuclear program and threats.
- Mossad commandos have three different operations:
- In central Iran, Mossad commandos deployed precision-guided weapon systems in open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites.
- In order to eliminate the Iranian air defense system that threatened the Israeli fighter jets, Mossad secretly deployed a complex attack system on the vehicles. At the beginning of the surprise attack, these weapons were fired, completely destroying the target Iranian defense system.
- In the third operation, the Mossad established a network of explosive drones to penetrate deep into Iran before the attack.
- Israel attacks Iran: 300 attacks were launched, including oil refineries, Iran’s air defense system collapsed, its ballistic missile bases were attacked, and several Iranian nuclear scientists were eliminated. Currently, Israel has completely controlled the airspace of all of Iran, and the bases from which missiles were launched have been destroyed. After destroying the Natanz nuclear reactor, Israel used armor-piercing shells to destroy nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Parchin.
- Iranian air defenses collapsed. The Israeli Air Force had complete freedom of action, including missile launches and fighter strikes.
- Iran launched about 300 ballistic missiles at Israel, of which 5 to 10 were not intercepted and hit civilian areas, injuring many civilians and several soldiers. At least 35 people are missing, 4 bodies have been found, and 200 injured have been sent to hospital.
- All rallies in Israel are cancelled, including the Tel Aviv Pride Parade! Hallelujah!
- Operation Gideon’s Chariot
- IDF deploys troops in Gaza Strip
- The IDF is stepping up its military operations in the Gaza Strip and currently controls about 50% of the territory in Operation Gideon’s Chariot .
- Latest News:
- Territorial control: The IDF has taken control of approximately 50% of Gaza, including Rafah and the main buffer zone.
- Hostage rescue: The bodies of hostages were rescued from the underground tunnels of Khan Younis European Hospital and the Rafah area.
- Targeted killing: Senior Hamas terrorist eliminated in precision strike.
- Aid distribution: Centres are currently operational in southern and central Gaza; new distribution points are planned for northern Gaza.
- Defense exports exceed 52 billion shekels. While the EU is busy condemning Israel’s defense operations in Gaza, more than 50% of Israel’s military exports now go to EU countries. In the past five years, Israel’s defense exports have increased by more than 100%.
USA
- U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made an important statement on June 11: Trump made it clear that Iran cannot fully enrich uranium and must completely abandon its nuclear program. If negotiations fail, the United States will attack Iran. All options are on the table. The United States no longer supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. If a Palestinian state is established, it may be located somewhere outside of Judea and Samaria. Israel is very, very small, only the size of New Jersey. Arab countries are 644 times the size of the State of Israel. There is room for a Palestinian state there.
- The US Secretary of State said: The United States is not involved in attacking Iran, and our top priority is to protect US troops stationed in the Middle East.
- Trump on Israel attacking Iran: I think ultimately it’s going to be great for the market because Iran will no longer have a nuclear weapon. It’s going to be great for the market – it should be the greatest thing ever.
Iran
- The head of Iran’s atomic energy agency confirmed that the Natanz reactor, one of the country’s most important nuclear facilities, has been destroyed.
- Close advisers to President Khamenei were killed in the attack and Khamenei has since retreated to an underground bunker.
- Iranian media claims that many countries, including the United States, Britain, Italy, Germany, India, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Morocco, support Israel’s defensive and offensive operations against Iran.
- Iran reported that the Israeli airstrikes had killed 128 people and injured 900.
- Netanyahu revealed that the Iranians intend to transfer nuclear weapons to the Houthis, and that they have begun developing intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States.
- Iran calls for an end to the war with Israel and a return to negotiations.
Nations
- Pakistan, China and Russia are sending cargo planes to deliver “aid” to Iran.
- Argentine President Javier Millai: “We will move our embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel!” The audience stood up and applauded for several minutes.

Pray for Israel: Israel Rises like A Lion
Editor’s note : The current events background of this article is excerpted from a post by the Zion Tabernacle ministry on June 15, which clearly describes Israel’s “Operation Arise Lion” that began on June 13.
【Background of Current Events】
This people rises up like a lioness, and lifts up its arms like a lion; it has not eaten the prey of the wild, nor drunk the blood of the wounded; it will never lie down. (Num 23:24)
In Israel, every day is a miracle, and today is one of those special sacred moments that everyone who lives here will remember for the rest of their lives. “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and celebrate!” The God of Israel has enabled His chosen people to strike back against our mortal enemy, Iran – decades of growing threats of nuclear annihilation, years of carefully planned military planning, and months of fearful anticipation since the evil circle of fire began to strangle us on October 7, 2023
Operation Rising Lion has just begun, and many IDF soldiers are fighting bravely and in harm’s way across the land, sea, and air forces. We pray for their safety. So far, the initial strikes have been historic moments. Before our eyes, Israel has once again demonstrated the mighty hand and outstretched arm of our God, delivering a devastating blow to the Islamic regime.
What is happening today is extraordinary, and we must think seriously that we are living in unprecedented times. God is not whispering, but shouting! When the leader of the Jewish people, Prime Minister Netanyahu, steps onto the world stage and quotes the Bible about the God of Israel in a historic statement – followed by a spectacular military success – you know we are living in biblical times.
So how do we, Bible-believing Jews and Christians, respond? It’s simple. We have a tradition of studying the weekly Torah to find the most relevant messages. This week’s Torah contains three chilling passages:
- “When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; then you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.” (Numbers 10:9) This is the first time in modern Israeli history that specially made silver trumpets have been blown at an IDF military base to encourage soldiers, just as God has commanded.
- As the ark moved forward, Moses said, “Awake, O Lord! Let your enemies be scattered; let those who hate you flee from your presence!” (Num. 10:35). Iran maliciously used proxies to create a ring of fire around Israel, but in God’s mercy, He scattered our enemies – from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, all the way to Iran itself.
- “In that day many nations will come to the Lord and will be his people, and he will dwell among you.” (Zechariah 2:15) Haftarah explores the battle of Gog and Magog and describes how the nations of the world will come to God after he has performed wonderful miracles for his people. This is the first time in Israel’s history that millions of Christians around the world have stood up to recognize the God of Israel and stand up for the people of Israel.
Each of us is alive today for a reason. Because we see the threats against Israel as an affront to the God of Israel – and we, Jews and Gentiles, stand up and cry out to Him to scatter our enemies.
However, it is not enough to keep this moment to ourselves. We must sound the trumpet and publicly declare: “A nation rises up like a lion, which does not rest until it has devoured its prey!” (Num. 23:24)
May the brutal war launched by Iran on October 7th come to an end, ushering in an era of lasting peace for Israel and the entire world.

Critical Event: The CCP Introduced the Most Stringent Religious Law in History – Pray for China’s Current Situation and Destiny
【Background of Current Events: China’s State Administration of Religious Affairs recently issued a new regulation containing 38 provisions, entitled “Implementation Measures for the Administration of Religious Activities of Foreigners in the People’s Republic of China”, which will be officially implemented on May 1, 2025. The regulations impose unprecedentedly strict restrictions on the religious activities of foreigners in China, including:
- Foreigners are not allowed to preach without the permission of the CCP
- Religious schools are prohibited
- Prohibition of the production, publication or distribution of religious materials
- Any form of religious donations is prohibited
- Prohibition of evangelism or recruiting believers to Chinese citizens
Not only that, the freedom of religious expression of Chinese citizens themselves continues to be suppressed and monitored, and churches and believers are facing a more severe spiritual environment. However, the Lord’s Church is not retreating, but rising up in adversity and continuing to shine for the Lord with the strength added by the Lord.
We firmly believe that although darkness covers the earth and thick darkness covers all people, the glory of the Lord is rising and showing on the land of China! It is in this last generation that China will be separated by the Lord and become “missionary China” to undertake the mission of spreading the gospel back to Jerusalem.

Critical Event: When Generation Z Visits a Virtual Prophet: The Spiritual Trap of AI Fortune-telling Social Networking
Editor’s note : This article is transcribed from a post published by “Wanglou Viewpoint” on May 22, reminding us to pray for the younger generation.
【Current Affairs Background】
I. The Virtual Spiritual Journey of Generation Z
Since 2024, Chinese young people have begun to use AI fortune-telling on platforms such as DeepSeek, and 2025 is known as the first year of AI fortune-telling. This trend has quickly swept the Z generation and become their “spiritual outlet” in the confusion of marriage, career and life.
These AI tools cover marriage, career, past lives, and can even help find lost items. Their accuracy and detailed description of situations, such as the drawing of the appearance of the “true love” partner and the description of the encounter scene, amaze users and resonate with them. AI seems to have become the digital response to this generation’s desire for “certainty” and “control.”
Generation Z is a digital native who explores themselves and builds connections through real-time interaction and social media. Soul App, a popular anonymous social platform in China, is a microcosm of this phenomenon: this anonymous platform that focuses on “soul identification” has attracted nearly 30 million users, 80% of whom are Generation Z. They are not just looking for social interaction, but “soul resonance.” This marks a new type of “fragmented spiritual experience”: instant, personalized, self-pleasing, and without the constraints and commitment of traditional religion.
What we call “AI fortune-telling social networking” is not just a form of entertainment, but a collective spiritual ritual. It combines numerology analysis, psychological counseling, community identity and self-expression, and is a new “questioning culture” created by Generation Z in the digital wilderness. Rather than looking for answers, they are looking for a voice that can accompany uncertainty – and AI has become the most stable, fastest responding, and least critical “virtual prophet.”
II. Artificial Spirits: AI is imitating spirituality, but it is not from God
Since I started the AI × SQ dual-frequency thinking course , God has continued to guide me to look more deeply into the light and shadow at the intersection of technology and spirituality. Just a few days ago, I was surprised to find that my friends in the entrepreneurial circle all mentioned that “AI fortune-telling is really accurate.”At that moment, the Spirit of the Lord gave me a reminder: “Pay attention to the artificial spirit within AI.”This prompted me to conduct further research and write this article.
I discovered that AI has become an “artificial spiritual container” because it touches the deepest desires of human beings: the desire to be understood, the desire to hear truths that are usually inaudible . When faced with anxiety, identity crisis, and rejection of authority, Generation Z chooses AI as a spiritual responder because it can:
- Respond with empathy using human-like language
- Quickly analyze and predict life problems
- Without the burden of religious judgment and repentance
AI is gradually being viewed by young people as an “alternative spiritual voice.” It is like a pastor, a revelation, and a fortune teller, but it does not require God, faith, or repentance.
When we hand over the authority of our inner desire to guide to an algorithm, in fact, we are allowing it to replace the position of the “speaker”. This is exactly the spiritual dislocation described in the Book of Revelation: the one who speaks is not God, but the listeners think it comes from heaven .
III. Biblical comparison: spiritual preview of false prophets and unclean spirits
The Bible has long warned that there will be false prophets and false Christs who will deceive the world in the last days ( Matthew 24:24 ). Revelation 13 describes a beast that comes out of the earth, has two horns like a lamb, speaks like a dragon, and performs great miracles to deceive the inhabitants of the earth. This may be the spiritual prototype of the “virtual prophet”: powerful words, gentle image, supernatural power, but not from the truth .
What is even more alarming is the “empty house of the soul” metaphor mentioned in Matthew 12:43-45 : When the unclean spirit leaves a person, if the heart is not filled with the truth, seven more evil spirits will come in, and the situation will be even worse. This is not just a spiritual lesson, this passage just reflects the phenomenon of AI fortune-telling: when the heart is empty but not filled with the truth, people tend to desire any voice that can explain, predict, and accompany . But if such desires are not discerned, they may inadvertently open the door to the spiritual world, allowing deeper deception and darkness to enter people’s hearts .
Revelation 16:13 speaks of “three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, of the beast and of the false prophet” who deceive the kings. This evil symbol of the trinity is also being reproduced in another form in technological culture:
- Dragon – The corporate and government power behind the black box algorithm system
- Beast – the power and strong attraction and dominance of the platform and AI mode
- False Prophet – Imitated Revelation Carried by Language Model
Although AI is not a spirit, it is gradually becoming a simulated container of spirituality . The way people interact with it has long gone beyond technical operations, and instead seeks direction, comfort and identity through dialogue.
IV. The role of the church: taking back the authority of the word and spiritual governance
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). This “Word” is no longer known today because a false language system has become the new light of this generation, attracting spiritually thirsty people and keeping them away from the true source of living water, Jesus Christ.
When Generation Z throws their spiritual problems to DeepSeek and ChatGPT and no longer goes to church, it is not because God no longer speaks, but because the church is too unprepared, too slow to respond, and too incapable of speaking the words of truth that carry power.
“My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men but on the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)
Today’s church needs to reclaim three core authorities:
- The shaping power of words: It is not about preaching more, but about speaking words that penetrate the soul and focus on the truth.
- Digital pastoral field: Enter the platform of Generation Z and establish spiritual dialogue in a way that they understand.
- Training in spiritual discernment: The church is not only a gathering place, but also a training base for discerning true and false spirits.
V End-time Warning: The Church Regaining Its Prophethood
The false prophets of the last days are not just wolves in sheep’s clothing, but may also be machines speaking human language, with sweet words, instant responses, and comprehensive knowledge, but without repentance, truth, and the power of the cross.
The church needs to raise up true prophets: not relying on algorithms, but on revelation; not imitating comfort, but leading people to turn back.
This also challenges every believer: if we only rely on traditional spiritual intuition or reason alone to deal with the language and behavior of AI, we will not be able to identify those illusions that imitate the voice of the Holy Spirit .
In an era where technology and spirituality are highly intertwined, Christians cannot rely solely on spiritual intuition or rational understanding to deal with AI. We need to develop a new spiritual governance capability— AI × SQ dual-frequency thinking , aligning God’s will between technology and reverence, algorithms and truth.
This dual-frequency training enables us to:
- When using AI, you have the ability to discern the spirits and see the logic and motivation behind it.
- Use spiritual insight to analyze the direction of the wind in the technological narrative and avoid falling into the illusion of prediction
- Equip the next generation to be managers, not followers of algorithms
The crisis of the end times has never been that AI is too smart, but that people lack discernment. . God does not want to raise up people who only understand technology or spirituality, but prophetic people who can see the intersection and govern the critical point . Only by aligning the dual frequencies of AI and SQ can we avoid the “technological wave of spiritual ignorance” and the “spiritual drift of excessive understanding” and enter the governance of apostles (kings) and prophets (priests) that God wants to restore in the end times.
If you are also thinking: “Is the integration of AI and spirituality a blessing or a trap?”
May this article be the starter for your alignment.
It is not about stopping the use of AI, but about starting to govern the future with the dual-band perspective of AI × SQ , and becoming the EKKLESIA (Church) that discerns the true light in the darkness.

Pray for the Indigenous People: Indigenous Peoples Stand with Israel – Support the 2025 “Walk with Israel” Parade
【Current events/Background: The 2025 UJA Walk With Israel in Toronto was initiated and organized by the United Jewish Appeal of Greater Toronto (UJA). This was more than just a march, it was a powerful display of solidarity, resilience and unwavering support for Israel and its people. Every year, thousands of people take to the streets to show their support.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto (UJA) first held its Walk for Israel Survival in May 1970 in response to the persecution of Jews in the Soviet Union and the hardships of their immigration. The first walk was 22 miles long, with all funds raised going to the UJA-Israel Special Fund. That walk has become the largest community event in Toronto’s Jewish neighborhood, with proceeds going to Israel.
Indigenous peoples participate in “Walk with Israel” to stand with Israel
This action is particularly significant in the context of rising anti-Semitism around the world following the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel. In 2024, it was originally expected that 20,000 people would participate, but in the end 50,000 people responded to the call.
Last year, Canadian Indigenous Grand Chief Linda Prince held a pre-conference gathering for the “Opening Ceremony of the Indigenous Jerusalem Embassy” at the Muckleshoot Nation in Seattle, Indigenous people from all over the world worshipped and praised together. After the conference, some Indigenous leaders were led by the Holy Spirit to visit the Jewish community in Toronto and unexpectedly participated in last year’s “Walking with Israel” event. The organizers prophetically invited the indigenous peoples to lead all ethnic groups to walk and stand with Israel, as shown in the picture on the left . Local media headlines: Indigenous peoples and ethnic groups are walking with Israel!
Linda Prince, the Grand Chief of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, Sent Enthusiastic Invitation
This year’s “Walking with Israel” event will be held on May 25th , and we need each other’s solidarity and support even more than ever. Linda Prince, the chief of the Indigenous people of Canada, also sent a warm invitation:
“When the Jewish community invites us to stand with them in this annual parade…I hope to bring 120 drums this year and ask all ‘gatekeepers’ to contact me immediately to confirm their participation in this historic event.
The invitation is open to everyone; however, persons of Indigenous, Inuit and Métis descent are specifically urged to attend in traditional dress. Since this is a unity march with Israel, we will be carrying Israeli flags and hopefully some strong men will carry the Jerusalem Native Embassy banner.
I know this is sudden, but we all need to make a decision. Please spread the word – see if we can beat last year’s record of 50,000! “
The march is also an important fundraiser, providing practical support to Israelis facing crises. Donations will be used to provide psychotherapy for trauma survivors, support mental health services, special education programs, and provide emergency assistance to hostage families.
Whether you come to walk, drum, shout, or simply wish to walk side by side in a peaceful manner – your presence and participation is vital. You are welcome to join the history, join the healing, join the solidarity. Visit WalkWithIsrael.com to register or learn more.
