Acts 6:1-15 AKJV
“And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6 whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Editorial Special Section: Nita Johnson: The New Testament and “Union with the Lord” & Walking in Love
Message: Nita Johnson Date: May 15 , 2025 Source: World for Jesus
The Bible often refers to walking with God, being united with God, or being under God’s control. These are some of the words used in the Old and New Testaments. In the New Testament, I believe almost every book mentions the concept of “union with the Lord.” I can give you a few examples:

【 Current Events/Background: One of the fastest ways to create controversy is to mix the subjects of God, government, and the church. It is easy for me to see why the leftist and antichrist elements in our society don’t want God or His Word influencing government. It is inconceivable to me, however, that believers would fall prey to this error. The belief that we are to separate God and government is one of the greatest possible heresies. His influence is meant to permeate EVERY facet of life on Earth. …Detailed Reading】
【 Prayer 】
Father, thank You for what You are doing in our nation. Our faith is certainly not in government; it is in You, the God of government. As You are honored in portions of our government, life and blessings are released. We see this beginning. And again, we thank You.
We understand our responsibility to represent You and Your Kingdom in our land. We carry Your heart, we possess Your authority, and we are Your voice. We ask that You keep the church motivated to pray and be a voice for good in our nation. We ask that this manifest in government, education, families – and every facet of life in America. Multiply the harvest and empower the reformation.
We pray for our leaders as they make decisions that steer the ship of America. Help them avoid mishaps and wrong turns. Give them the ability to rule righteously, honoring Your Word and ways. Through this, restore greatness to our land and make us a blessing to all the nations of the earth. We decree that the earth’s government is on Christ’s shoulders; He is our King (Isaiah 9:6-7)
In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.

Editorial Special Section: Sivan: Blessings for the Hebrew Month
Message: Ron Sawka Date: 2024年6月23日 Source: Ron Sawka Apostolic Ministries
Editor’s note : Sivan is the third month of the Jewish holy calendar year 5785, which corresponds to May 28, 2025 to June 26, 2025 in the Gregorian calendar. This article is excerpted by Apostle Ron Sawka from a 2006 CD lecture by Chuck Pierce, the prophet of Glory of Zion Ministries. He strongly recommends visiting Chuck Pierce’s website for more information and a more complete explanation.
A Month of Much Increase
One of the great highlights of this month is Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost is seven weeks after Passover). In Exodus 23:16, Pentecost is also referred to as “the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field.” The concept of firstfruits is exceedingly powerful because if the first fruits are dedicated to and blessed by God, then the entire remaining (main) amount will also be blessed. As are the first fruits, so will be the remainder. Paul said, “For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches” (Rom. 11:16). You could say firstfruits is a principle of multiplication. Jesus is the firstfruit of resurrection (see 1 Cor. 15:20 [1]). Just as He is holy, dedicated to God, and resurrected, so too is each subsequent believer in Him. Because of Him, we too are holy, dedicated to God, and have resurrection life. In other words, Jesus’s life is multiplied. He is the firstfruit or root. We millions of believers are the lump or branches.
Therefore, since Pentecost is a celebration of firstfruits and this firstfruits principle of multiplication, then we must expect multiplication. Multiplication means massive increase. Expect increase in the following areas:
1. All harvest until now, consider it just first fruits. God wants to multiply it, so expect great increase in our personal lives, in our cities, and in our nations
2. Laborers for harvest—In Luke 10:2, Jesus said to pray and ask the Lord for laborers (which we already are). Let’s expect a massive increase in the numbers of harvest laborers in our cities and nations, just like us and even better.
3. Holy Spirit—We already are baptized in and filled by Him, so expect much more of His filling, manifestation, and demonstration in and through your life.
4. Firstfruit of finances—Honor Him this Pentecost with the “firstfruits of all your increase” (Prov. 3:9) of your finances. He wants our finances to multiply so you will lack nothing as you move ahead in this time of great harvest.
Sivan
- The month of Zebulun. The “businessperson’s month” and the month of Pentecost (May 26–27). God wants us to learn about prosperity. Genesis 49:13 states, “Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; He shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall adjoin Sidon.” Deuteronomy 33:19 states, “For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hidden in the sand.” We must conquer any mindset that God does not want us to have prosperity. We must also defeat the mindset that it is we who earn our money, or that we earn our living by our own efforts. Yes, work is part of our ministry and “the sweat of [one’s] brow” came about because of the fall of Adam (Gen. 3:19), but God wants us to know it is He who gives us the power to obtain wealth (Deut. 8:18). Thinking that our success is because of our own efforts actually puts us under a curse—not blessing (Jer. 17:5–6).
- A month of giving, and a month to review your giving processes. Leviticus 23:16 states, “Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord.” Offerings can be money, time, or service. Very intentionally, ask the Holy Spirit to direct your special offering during Pentecost season.
- A month of receiving new boundaries or new fields. Not only is God pouring out new anointing, but along with that come new assignments and fields. Expect some old ministries to be shut down and be replaced with new ones.
- A month to be merciful. In John 8, the Pharisees wanted to stone the woman caught in adultery, but Jesus forgave her. There will be times when you have to deliberately choose to be merciful.
- A month of alignment (Moses, Miriam, Aaron). Along with new anointing and new fields come new alignments and connections.
- This is a key month of Sabbath. Pentecost (May 26–27) is called the Feast of Weeks because it is seven weeks (fifty days) after the Feast of Firstfruits and Jesus’s resurrection. Note that “7” is the number of completion/perfection. At Pentecost, God gives the following: 1) new provision, 2) new revelation, and 3) new anointing and power. We need a new level of all of these to do and complete the new assignments He is giving us.
- The month of the Hebrew letter zayin [ז]—receiving mercy to complete certain things. One assignment the Lord has given me/us is to activate people, not just to prophesy, but also to heal the sick and release miracles. Expect more grace and help from Him than ever.
- Zayin means both “the sword” and “sustenance or nourishment.” Note how the word of God is both the sword of the spirit and the bread of life. Soon we will have finished counting the omer—focusing for fifty days on how “man lives by every word that comes out of the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4). Thus, we will now find that the word is a sword breaking us into victory.
- The month of the “transparent pane” so that you see clearly. Declare that heaven’s window is over you. The Lord wants us to see. Ask Him to enable you to see. Activate seeing pictures and visions.
- The month of the constellation Gemini (or the two tablets). The law had to come twice because of Moses’s failure. Isn’t it good to know that we can fail and God still comes through for us because of His mercy.
- The “wedding month.” Read Song of Solomon 6:3. The whole point of the Lord giving the law at Sinai was to enter into covenant with His people. It’s like marriage—becoming one with Him. All that He has is ours. All that we have is His.
- Jacob or Esau month—good inclination or evil inclination. We have to remember that there is an evil as well as a godly inheritance. You choose the one you want. Let’s be sure to choose the godly inheritance.
- A month of “cause” rather than “effect.” Become a catalyst that develops into a “cause.” “Effects” will come later. This means it’s time to sow seeds. Talk about the goodness of God as much as you can and soon you will see great harvest.
- A month to continue on in God’s way, instead of taking a wrong path. If necessary, choose against your emotions. Stay out of negativity and conflict. We don’t want to cause the angels to leave. “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar in your tents! They shall call the peoples to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; for they shall partake of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hidden in the sand” (Deut. 33:18–19).
- The month to go from one level of strength to the next.
- The “left foot” month, connecting your speech to your “walk.” Declare your speech and “walk” are connected. The more you talk about the goodness of God, the more victory you will see in your life.
God is moving through—not disconnecting—the months. He is tying each month into the next. Gather wisdom and move forward. This is the way not to waste the blessings of the previous months. God’s power can restore things quickly. Once you get moving in God’s timing, you begin to see restoration and acceleration. Restoration will double, quadruple, or septuple as quickly as what you wasted. Don’t give up on people who have made a mess. God can rebuild. They rebuilt the wall in fifty-two days.

Editorial Special Section: Persecution & Martyrdom, Unexpected Catalysts for Revival
Message: Ricci Johnson-Wilson Date: May 19, 2025 Source: World for Jesus Ministries
To set the stage for this message, let’s introduce the first martyr of the first century Church.
Acts 6:1-15 AKJV
“And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6 whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. 11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, 13 and set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 14 for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. 15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Between Acts 6:16 and Acts 7:54, Stephen will take the Sanhedrin on an historical journey, Abraham to Moses, listing the foundation of their Jewish heritage and faith. In doing so, he will refute the false accusations made against him.
Let’s skip down to Acts 7:54, after Stephen not only conveyed their history, but then reprimanded their actions.
Acts 7:54-8:4
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 and cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
8:1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word.
Stephen, as we know, is the first martyr to seal his witness to the truth of Jesus, the Son of God, and the fulfillment of the Covenant, with his blood.
Two significant things occurred with the shedding of Stephen’s blood.
- Paul’s 3-year rampage against the Christians was launched
- The Awakening and resulting revival that the early Church experienced in that first year after the Passion of our Lord, catapulted to a whole new level.
It’s inevitable, intercession, repentance, and a return to God, bring the Awakening. When the people of God are oppressed, they cry out to Him in unprecedented ways. He, forever a gracious God, pours Himself out upon those who’ve sought His face. When revival breaks out, it often seems that persecution increases as well.
Persecution is a Catalyst for Revival
I asked myself, is persecution a catalyst for revival?
There are many reasons people are persecuted for their faith:
- On a national level, it’s often confusion or fear of an overthrow. History records that the Roman government were very concerned about this because the Christians would only worship one God, and they refused to bow to any of their gods. They often held “private meetings” and as such, the assumption was that they must be preparing for an insurrection or an overthrow the Roman government.
- Jealousy is another reason for persecution; we see this with the Sanhedrin.
- A lack of control by national or religious leaders over what God is doing in communities.
- Various political authoritarians may attempt an intervention; this is usually through arrests, torture, imprisonment, and even sentencing Christians to death. We see this today in rigidly communist nations such as North Korea and China.
- Religious differences, Islam vs Christianity often compels severe persecution. We see this in nations with Islamic governments. For many in these countries, converting to Christianity can bring a death sentence. Some forbit the distribution of the Bible and will arrest any and all who attempt to bring a Bible in their country. Even though Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world, in some of these countries where persecution is the most severe, we see Muslims—disciples of Islam—turning to Christ in great numbers because He is appearing to them and awakening them to the truth of Who He is.
I recognize that few of these listed above are experienced by Americans. I do find it interesting when people tell me part of America’s problem, one that is bringing the judgment of God upon our land, is the fact that we did not make America a Christian Nation.
America is uniquely blessed in that it is the only nation dedicated to God and the spread of the Gospel. Mandating religion often leads to terrible or insincere outcomes. Nations that mandate religion need only one bad apple to come in and they will outlaw any and all religions that do not conform to that leader’s religion. That’s why the early settlers fled their nations to come to America to begin with. Afghanistan is one very recent example; Islam is considered their only religion. Converting from Islam to Christianity is considered shameful to the family, the community and Allah, dissidents are often tortured and then killed under Sharia law. This has increased exponentially since we pulled out in 2021, and the Taliban took over.
We see similar accounts in Iran, Iraq, Turkey and other nations that, prior to the birth of Islam 1300 or so years ago, had a significant Christian presence. Remember, these regions were evangelized by the early Church. The Apostles Peter, John and Paul spent years spreading the Gospel message throughout these very regions. Every Apostle except John was martyred somewhere the vast regions of Northern Africa to India and all the way up to Rome. Many followers of Christ were martyred as well, tens of thousands were killed in Rome by Nero alone. In fact, Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, a pharisee, who was brought to Rome as an historian, is considered to have “switched sides” because he was seen as sympathizing with the Christians after recording the horrific abuse and torture of Christians by Rome. Ultimately, he recorded in his historical accounts, that Jesus was indeed the Messiah of the Scriptures.
Persecution has a profound impact on people and the nations in which it exists. Let’s look at just two unexpected outcomes of persecution:
- Persecution tends to promote the very thing it seeks to destroy.
How? If we read through the book of Acts searching for the impact of persecution on the early Church, we see this truth revealed to us in statements such as the one in:
Acts 6:7 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Or
Acts 8:4. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word.
The persecution by the Sanhedrin, promoted and catapulted the Word of God throughout the region. Not only in Jerusalem, but Philip, another of the seven chosen to serve alongside Stephen, went to Gentile areas to preach the Word of God. He traveled up to Samaria where he saw revival break out. Then the Lord sent him down to the desert to meet the Ethiopian who was reading the book of Isaiah on his way home from Jerusalem. Philip begins at the very passage he was reading, Isaiah 53:7-8 and takes him straight to Jesus. Incidentally, there’s a small Ethiopian sect in Egypt living in intense persecution today, who trace their spiritual heritage back to this Ethiopian official.
Philip baptized the Ethiopian in a river along the path and then the Spirit of the Lord sweeps Philip up to Azotus and he’s directed to continue north, preaching the Gospel until he settles in Caesarea 60 miles north of Azotus. Philip’s travels took him over 100 miles on foot where he preached the Gospel everywhere he went! (Acts 8) In Acts 21:8, years later, Paul—formerly Saul, the persecutor—would stay in Philip’s home with his wife and four prophetic daughters. (Acts 21:8) The persecution and martyrdom of Stephen was a catalyst for this profound revival that occurred with Philip. This is only one example.
Persecution promoted the very thing it sought to destroy…
Some historians believe that in the first century alone, over 1 million Christians were martyred. Yet, as surviving Christians fled, the Word of God was spread and the followers of Christ increased daily. As I shared last week, there are 89 references to the “Word of God increasing greatly”, or “the followers of Christ increasing greatly” found in the New Covenant Scriptures. Again, persecution promotes the very thing it seeks to destroy.
- Persecution activates a zeal in the heart of the believer for the very thing they are being persecuted over.
In Acts 4 Peter and John are before the Sanhedrin after the lame man was healed and they were commanded not to speak in the name of Jesus. Peter and John’s response was that they must obey God rather than man. They returned to the Apostles and other disciples of Christ and after testifying to the rest of the disciples what God did in that meeting, they concluded by praying for more boldness (zeal) to declare His Word! And God responded by shaking the place up!
In Acts 5, the Apostles are arrested again. An Angel let them out of the prison and told them to go right back into the Temple and continue to preach the Word. Once again, they are dragged before the Sanhedrin. Were it not for the wisdom God provided Gamaliel in this moment, the Sanhedrin would have had them killed. The Scriptures tell us they were once again warned not to speak in the name of Jesus, but this time they are flogged. This word “flogged” in the Greek literally means “flayed.” In other words, they were whipped until their skin was flayed from their bodies.
Acts 5:41-41 record their response:
“And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”
Acts 6:1 tells us that the number of disciples increased.
In Acts chapters 6 and 7, we have Stephen’s witness. He’s brought before the Sanhedrin and as he is about to speak, Luke records him as “having the face of an Angel”. These events within the secret quarters of the Sanhedrin would not have been accessible by the public. Paul himself testifies to Luke what occurred in these closed-door meetings. In the end, Stephen is stoned, and like Jesus, he cries out for mercy on behalf of his persecutors, extending forgiveness to those who did not care to receive it.
At this point, persecution really breaks out against the Church. Yet, we see a catalyst occurring as the Word of God explodes across the region! It is spread from Ethiopia to Antioch as Saul (Paul) embarks on his three-year, murderous rampage against the Church. The zeal in the heart of believers increases and spreads!
Acts 8:1-4 tells us that because Paul was wreaking havoc on the people of God, those who were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word. These people did not get in their cars, carriages or climb up onto camels, they grabbed what they could carry and fled, spreading the message of the Gospel wherever they went!
This, my friends, is a genuine zeal for the very thing persecution was meant to destroy.
By Acts 12, we have the first martyr by a political figure as Herod beheads James. Prior to this, it was persecution by the religious sect. Now, it has escalated and will continue to escalate for the next several decades. But the people who were persecuted were activated and maintained their zeal, promoting the very thing the enemy sought to destroy.
The New Covenant is the testament of the Apostles lives as they lived and ultimately died for Christ.
Why were they capable of preaching the Gospel as they did, in spite of the risks?
They prepared in times of relative peace. They received from Jesus the warnings of what would come, and He taught them how to endure. After His death, resurrection and ascension, they had about a year of relative peace to prepare for the severity of what would come.
I know it’s difficult for us to picture what true persecution looks like, especially in America. We are blessed to have minimal discomfort for our faith. But, as Mom and I have shared, persecution is coming. Especially for those who would try to leave the Catholic Church. So, how do we do prepare? Should the Lord give us the privilege of walking alongside someone trying to flee the Catholic Church, how would we help them endure?
Preparation for disasters or emergencies is best done before the emergency arises. Preparing for persecution is the same thing, doing so amid relative peace is the best option. How do we do this?
-
- We need to recognize the signs of impending persecution. Inevitably, the enemy seeks to cancel Christians in the public square before persecution really takes off. The Sanhedrin sought to cancel Jesus in the hearts of the people before they ultimately crucified Him. Then, they denied Who He was and continued to harass the Apostles at times even violently before they escalated to the level in which they killed Stephen. Once Stephen’s blood was shed, the rampage headed by Paul began.
For us here in America, we knew persecution was on the horizon when Christians were arrested for praying outside abortion clinics, or when fathers were arrested for speaking out at their children’s school board meetings. Instead of standing with righteousness, Biden’s DOJ labeled these brave individuals as domestic terrorists for trying to protect the pre-born or shield their pre-teens from explicit material. But recognizing the signs is important, it helps us amp up our preparations.
-
- We need to build or even rebuild our arsenal during peacetime. Paul often likened the walk of the believer to that of a soldier. We should do the same.
On a national level, we can look at President Trump’s efforts to strengthen our nation’s war chest both times he’s taken office as an example of the importance of building up our nation’s arsenal during peacetime. How did he do this? He’s signed Executive Orders to rebuild our military. Why? Foreign nations tend not to attack or invade nations with strong military arsenals. Even if they do, the stronger nation will prevail.
Appling this same concept to the life of a Christian: this means we need to build up our spiritual arsenal in times of relative peace. How?
-
-
- By maintaining a Word and prayer life.
- Continuously strengthening yourself in the Lord.
- By applying the Word to our lives. Consider the messages Mom brings, like the one last week. She had us read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a and where we saw the word “love” insert our own name. The goal is to personalize the whole passage. Then ask the Lord to reveal where this isn’t true of us.
-
I can promise you, if we truly take that to heart, when we are interacting with family, co-workers, friends, we will see if we respond with patience and kindness when our whole world seems to be crashing down on us.
You’ll see whether or not we are boastful of our own promotion or envious of our co-worker who just got that promotion we worked harder for.
If we seriously, intentionally, lay that passage before the Lord with our whole heart, He will allow circumstances that will try the very message that passage presents us with. That’s one of the first steps to union, but did you know, that if we take this passage and allow God to take His holy rotor rooter to our soul until impatience, unkind responses, envy, boastfulness, vanity, pride, haughtiness, rudeness, self-serving, touchy, fretful, resentful, that gotcha attitude, unrighteousness, and deceitfulness are removed and replaced with love, patience, hope, endurance, and an unwavering pursuit of truth, when persecution comes, we will be capable of loving those who persecute us. We will have compassion on them considering their final destination should they remain on this course of persecuting God’s people. How often do we read of those executioners commissioned with lighting the fire, wielding the sword, casting the stone or pulling the trigger coming to Jesus because of the martyr’s responses in their last moments? If we have not learned how to love prior to persecution, that lesson will be far more difficult when the intense pressing comes.
The early Church prayed, pursued the Word, and were built up by the Apostle’s teaching as they served one another. They applied what they learned to their lives on a daily basis. As a result, when persecution came, they were ready.
-
- We need to know the Lord we serve
If we do not know Jesus, really know Him, experientially know His will and His ways, in times of persecution you will be pressed beyond your ability to stand strong. Even Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:9 and Acts 26:11 that his greatest regret, his greatest grief was that his persecution was so severe, his abuse and punishment so great, it the caused believers to blaspheme in the Synagogues. That’s not because they did not know the Lord, it’s because the punishment was more than they could bear. What could have changed this?
The closer we walk with the Lord, the more we know Him, the greater our strength and His grace will be in times of great affliction.
In America we have tremendous freedom afforded to us by our Constitution. Sometimes, we rely on those Constitutional freedoms, we decree them boldly, demanding our “Constitutional Rights!” On the surface, we are proud of our great knowledge and willingness to fight for our 1st Amendment rights. However, during Covid, out of fear, we relinquished those rights as a Church and closed our doors in obedience to corrupt governors.
This revealed a lot about the condition of the American Church. Little by little, chaos, false flags, acts of terrorism, and so on, compel us once again, out of fear to relinquish more and more of our “freedom”.
However, we must never forget, we have a freedom that is much higher than man can understand or possibly grant us. One in which God has given us, to worship Him, and Him alone—may we never forget this Truth. This has nothing to do with our Constitutional rights, and everything to do with our God-given privilege to know, to love, and to worship Him. If we stand on the former and rely on the latter, we will be better for it.
I am grateful that God found it in His heart to create this nation to be a place of refuge in the end times. However, even in America, persecution has come in different forms, mostly to strip us of our rights. One day, yes, even in America, we will see persecution rear its ugly head with the intent to strip us of our love and relationship with our Savior. Until then, we must gird up our loins, not simply for our own sake, but for this next generation. To prepare them to be overcomers, to understand that martyrdom, whether you are a living martyr like Trump, and now Elon have been, or one who lays down his life for the sake of the Cross like Paul, and most of the Apostles and the many Christians living in the middle east and Africa even in our day, the call to stand for the Cross and to love those who persecute you, remains the same.
When one lays down their life like Stephen did it serves as a catalyst for revival. Even if persecution increases to the degree as recorded by Josephus, where the roads of Jerusalem were strewn with crosses, so much so, it reeked of death as they ran out of trees to procure more wood from which to crucify their victims, the call remains the same and God will use it as a catalyst to open the eyes of the blind to Who He is as He pours out the martyrs grace to those who say yes to the call.
May we press in and press on as those who went before us did. As times begin to shake a little more aggressively here in our nation, let us not turn our back on God’s plans and purposes. Let us remember to continuously view the events set before us through the lens of the Lord. Let us trust God’s plan for His Church, our nation, and the golden age that is upon us. This doesn’t mean we won’t have shake ups as the corruption in our nation is exposed and uprooted, what it means is that God is using these things to awaken the masses to their need to get on the right side of history. To awaken from their slumber and participate in the weeping and sweeping of our land as I shared last week.
This is the crux of this message, the intercessors have been pressed down into the tectonic plates to pray that we might keep this nation from being ripped apart by the enemy. The intercessor has endured much in the line of personal persecution for our stance over the last several years. But it’s worth it because we are living martyrs for God’s plans and purposes to be done in the earth.
There is a day coming, that is not too far off, in which we are going to actually see the exposure that we’ve prayed for at least the last decade to come forth. This is not just voter fraud, activists posing as journalists, or BLM, there are going to be devastating revelations that will shake the nation to its core. Abortion, human trafficking unlike anything most can imagine, will be revealed. God will allow it because until people really understand what has occurred, they will not fight to stop and prevent it from re-emerging. That’s when the intercessors are truly going to need to engage and having allowed God to thrust us deep into the tectonic plates, we will have learned to intercede to keep the nation from being ripped apart. I feel it every day in my spirit and I honestly don’t know what to do with this information but cry out to God and plead with Him to give me a message to help us stay united, stay in prayer, and remember that persecution comes in all forms, and if you are willing, God will use your tears, your sacrifices, and your obedience, to keep this nation in tact in the coming days.
Please go through 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a as Mom encouraged us last week. I can think of nothing more profound to help prepare us to respond to this exposure with love, with grace, and with strength, fully reliant on Him to get this nation across the finish line and be part of the healing that His revival will bring to those who have been victims. Persecution, which comes in all forms, really is a catalyst for revival.

Editorial Special Section:Lou Engle: The Red Thread
Message: Lou Engle Date: May 22, 2025 Source: Elijah List
A Dream of a Scarlet Ribbon
On April 20, 2020, my friend Chris Berglund had a dream of a red thread, like a scarlet ribbon, floating in the air. It was a text thread from me that read, “El, my Father, my God, El Elyon is about to breach the earth soon—the Great Communion Revival!”
El Elyon is the Most High God. It’s the name Melchizedek used when he offered the first Communion of bread and wine to Abraham. We know that Jesus is the greater Melchizedek. He is raising up a priesthood from the children of Abraham to carry His body and blood.
We believe the thread floating in the air represents the scarlet thread of redemption that runs through history, all the way to the Cross, and beyond. In the dream, it was a prophetic word that El Elyon is about to breach the earth. “Breach” is a military term. It depicts a breaking open of the way—where God comes rushing in. We believe He is coming not just with revival but with the power of the blood that carries deliverance, healing, and cleansing to a generation.
Chris had an earlier dream in 2004. He saw a mystic woman standing on the sands of time. She opened an ancient treasure chest from which incense-like words began to rise. The words said, “Lou Engle now has the gift of faith for the Great Communion Blood Revival.” We didn’t understand it then, but after carrying the dream for over twenty years, we believe we’re stepping into the moment for which that word was given. (Photo of Chris Berglund)
Revival Is Here
Throughout revival history, the blood has led the way. The First Great Awakening began in a Communion service with the Moravians in Germany. The Second Great Awakening started at the Red River Meeting House in Kentucky, during what was called the “Scottish Communion Season.” For four days, people gathered at the table of the Lord, and a great move of the Holy Spirit was birthed.
The red thread has continued. In 2009, I had a dream in which I asked Bill Johnson, “Where can you catch fish along the Sacramento River?” Bill answered, “You can catch fish where the river turns red.” I ran along the river and saw that where the river turned red, there were fishermen catching fish all along its banks.
This is a harvest dream. The red river is the river of blood, the river of the sacrament. I believe we’re moving into a season of revival that will release one of the greatest harvests in America’s history. It’s all connected to the revelation of Communion and the power of the blood.
There have been many confirmations. During a fast in 2022, while praying for the Great Communion Revival, we received a news article reporting that the Catholic Church had just launched a three-year Eucharistic Revival. The article told of young people being healed just by looking at the host.
Could it be that, as Protestants, we’ve lost some of the awe and reverence the Catholics have had for Communion? What if we’ve treated it too casually—just crackers and grape juice once a month—and we’ve missed the Lamb at the center of the throne? God is restoring and reviving our understanding of His covenant meal.
The Power of Communion
A few years ago, I read Beni Johnson’s book, The Power of Communion, and was deeply impacted. Beni was taking Communion three times a day and going to high places like Mount Shasta. She and her team would apply the blood through Communion, and the altars of witchcraft were rendered ineffective. People were taking Communion for their families and seeing deliverance and healing. Moved by these testimonies, I began to realize how I had devalued the explosive power of the sacrament. (Photo via Pexels)
Recently, I heard a story of a couple whose four-year-old son had cancer for the second time. They did everything they could. Finally, they took Communion for forty days straight, pleading the blood of Jesus over their son. At the end of the forty days, he was completely healed! Later, they found out the little boy had been sneaking into the cupboard and also taking Communion each day. The doctor was amazed when his examination showed no cancer cells or any evidence the boy had ever had cancer.
Not long ago, I felt led by the Holy Spirit to watch footage of nuclear bomb explosions. As I watched, the Lord spoke to my heart, saying, “You think these are powerful? When I went to the Cross and shed My blood, I broke principalities and powers. I shook the earth. I defeated death, Hell, and the grave. You haven’t even begun to understand the power of Communion.”
Something is shifting in our mindsets. Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” But we are realizing that Communion is not just a memorial, it’s actually a reenactment of the most powerful interchange in history!
Back in 2004, we launched a “Silent Siege” in front of the Supreme Court with red “LIFE” tape over our mouths. We always ended our time of prayer by taking Communion and pleading the blood of Jesus that speaks a better word than the blood of sixty million aborted babies. For eighteen years, five days a week, intercessors fasted and prayed, crying out, “Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.” Millions have now prayed this prayer. When Roe fell, it was because the blood judged the death gods of America. Do you see it? The red tape has become a continuation of the scarlet thread.
One young woman contacted us to share how she lost her red LIFE band in a Walmart parking lot in Mankato, Minnesota. A year later, she was waitressing when she saw another woman wearing the same band. She asked her about it, and the woman said, “I found it in the Walmart parking lot about a year ago. I was going to get an abortion the next day, but when I saw the word “LIFE” on the band, I knew it was a sign to keep my baby—and here she is!” Her beautiful child was beside her in her baby carrier.
The Thread Continues
God is weaving this thread through our history. When we were planning our Day of Atonement gathering in D.C. for A Million Women, we couldn’t get the permit for the National Mall on that day. A prophetic leader declared to us, “We must not change the date. The Day of Atonement is the day a nation receives either mercy or judgment.” We made plans to proceed without the permit and were trusting God to open the way. A few months before the gathering, the group who held the permit resigned, and we were granted access to the Mall. (Photo via WallpaperSafari)
At 6:00 p.m. on the night of the gathering, we took Communion and cried out for mercy—not based on our righteousness, but on the blood. Afterward, an African American leader contacted me. He didn’t know about our gathering, but he told me, “At 6:00 p.m. last night, I told my wife, ‘Something just shifted in America. Trump will be elected, and our country will have another chance.'”
The blood has the final word. On the Day of Atonement, we believe America received a verdict of mercy.
From Coast to Coast
We’ve just come from Communion gatherings in Redding, San Francisco, San Diego, and Burbank, declaring, “Behold the Lamb of God.” On Passover, we held our final Communion service in Los Angeles. The blood has been saturating California. In hindsight, we see Heaven’s wisdom in bringing us from our nation’s governmental gate on the Day of Atonement all the way to the gates of culture by Passover. In each location, a table was set for us in the presence of our enemies. From the rising of the sun in the east to its setting in the west, the name of the Lord has been praised (Psalm 113:3)!
My pastor, Che Ahn, had a dream on the morning of Passover in which we were singing “America the Beautiful.” We had sung this anthem in Washington, D.C., but he didn’t know we were planning to sing it that night in Los Angeles. As instructed in another dream, we changed the word “grace” to “blood.” So, the song rang out from sea to shining sea: “America, America, God shed His blood on thee!” Che was stunned by the fulfillment of the dream. The blood of Jesus is judging the gods. Just as He judged the gods of Egypt, His blood is judging the gods of California! When the blood is applied, principalities fall.
Years ago, Cindy Jacobs gave a prophetic word that California would be a pro-life state. We knew the only way this could happen is if the Hispanics rose up en masse and took down abortion. I believe we are coming into the fullness of time for the Hispanic voice to rise in California for the sake of revival and reformation.
Sometime after Cindy Jacobs’ prophecy, my friend Matt Lockett, who runs the prayer ministry Bound4Life, had a dream of a Hispanic man calling for him to “Come to California.” In 2012, we began a movement of prayer and fasting called California Estada Provida (“California is pro-life”). I believe the masses are awakening to the sanctity of life and the blood of the sacrament, which is more powerful than the false ideologies perpetrated by the government in Sacramento.
It’s Time to Unite
As the red thread continues to unfold, we are calling the intercessors of California to unite in praying Bound4Life’s twenty-two-word prayer that broke Roe. Other states can substitute their names in the following prayer: Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my state. God, end abortion and send revival to California.
Starting on Shavuot—the Jewish holiday of Pentecost, beginning the eve of June 1—Believers across the country are preparing to take back the month of June and rename it “Life Month.” Citizens for Life will be hosting Life Marches in Texas and across all fifty states. (Photo via Pexels)
From now to Pentecost, let’s unite in prayer for a global outpouring of God’s Spirit. May the Voice of Many Waters uncap the wells of Azusa Street, the Hebrides Revival, and other past moves of God. Let’s continue to intercede for President Trump to be baptized with the power of the Holy Spirit and for an anointing to rest upon our government to fulfill the purposes of Heaven.
Then, from June 1 through June 21, I urge you to join me and many others in a focused stand of intercession. Clothed in the righteousness of Christ, we will make a daily declaration of the victory of the blood of Jesus over the powers of Molech and the powers of California. All the while, join me in declaring this victorious truth that Derek Prince proclaimed daily: “We have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb from the hand of the enemy!”
Finally, on June 21, I invite you to attend a strategic, day-long gathering in Downey, California, where a new breed of revivalists and godly activists will pray, proclaim, and take Communion over California. Led by Seth Gruber, a rising and powerful voice for life, The Last Stand could be a hinge-of-history moment to turn California back to God.
The blood will never lose its power!

Editorial Special Section: Nathan French: New Systems Are Being Established
Message: Dutch Sheets Date: May 22, 2025 Source: Elisha List
Editor’s note: Below is the word of the Lord that Nathan French shared during his recent interview on ElijahStreams. We encourage you to pray as you read through it and watch the episode right here.
Word of the Lord received on May 20, 2025:
“I Am”
“I am preparing My remnant army. I am building new infrastructure that can withstand the storms. I am increasing the release of My power and helping My people to realize their need for Me. I am building up families so that together they can overcome. I am restoring unity from a mindset of abundance. I am lifting burdens and fulfilling promises. I am kicking open doors for those who have been and continue to be faithful.
Breakthrough
“Rewards are not the same for everyone because not everyone says yes to Me in the same way. Many factors contribute to a breakthrough, which is defined as a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development. My promises are yes and amen (firm and unwavering).
New Systems Are Being Established
“New systems are being established to generate a financial turnaround for this nation and the nations of the world. Keep an eye on cryptocurrency, but make sure to educate yourself before you invest. AI provides great opportunities, but with it comes great danger. It is important to learn and understand these developments. The internet has distracted many from meaningful connections with loved ones, but I am working to restore a deeper sense of intimacy for those who choose to spend time with Me and be still.
“I Give Direction”
“I will give direction to those who desire to be led in the highest office. President Trump will be known as a president who hears and fears Me, the Lord your God.
“I am not the Lord of everyone who calls on Me.” (Photo via Rawpixel)
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” (Matthew 7:21–23 NKJV)
“My response, ‘I never knew you,’ is for those who pretend to be surrendered and who operate in the gifts without intimacy with Me.”
“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” (Romans 11:29 KJV)
“The phrase ‘the gifts are without repentance’ means I don’t take the gifts away once they are given. However, many chose to turn their hearts away from Me to pursue cheap idols and temporary pleasures. For those who have drifted away from Me,” says the Lord, “let your hearts become pure and willing once again.
“I am paying attention to how each leader leads and how each builder builds. I am watching and observing the workmanship of each one. I want to see how their actions impact others so I can measure fairly who can be trusted with more. There is so much more available: more power, more grace, more favor, more territory, more of My presence, more of My healing, more of My love, and more of My peace.
“Who wants more? Receive more according to your faith!
Tariffs
“Every nation is unique. Tariffs have come and tariffs have gone. If I charge you more than you charge Me, what more has been accomplished? The secret is to farm your own land. The supplies are plentiful right under your own feet, and there are blessings in abundance on your own ground. Foreign soil has always brought challenges, but I can give an individual strategy that unlocks corporate blessings. Win, win, I’m in. You vs. Me, the people flee.
Strategy
“Design your approach to think about what others want, and then help them create opportunities for growth. Helping others is an act of love that I reward. Stay in My will and you will stay in My favor, and in My favor, you will continue to receive My rewards. (Photo via Pexels)
“Leaders, act because it’s right, not because you want something in return. Then I will reward the right motive. The pure at heart will see Me,” says the Lord. “Those who see Me will see and know what I want, and what I am preparing to do. My plans are made, and I will share them only with My close friends. Stay close, My friend.
Why Blame Trump?
“Large companies that are used to certain profit margins are blaming Trump’s tariffs for increased prices. Ultimately, instead of losing hundreds of billions due to imbalanced trade, Trump’s tariff plan will create a fairer balance, resulting in a win-win situation. China feels the pressure, because it recognizes America’s growing desire to become increasingly independent.
“I am the God of balance and justice. It should not cost America billions of dollars just to save money. The estimate of 300 billion dollars a year in revenue is a major imbalance. The previous administration was being richly compensated for their compromise caused by personal greed, sacrificing the well-being of the American people for their own gain.”

Editorial Special Section: Nita Johnson: The New Testament and “Union with the Lord” & Walking in Love
Message: Nita Johnson Date: May 15, 2022 Source: World for Jesus
The Bible often refers to walking with God, being united with God, or being under God’s control. These are some of the words used in the Old and New Testaments. In the New Testament, I believe almost every book mentions the concept of “union with the Lord.” I can give you a few examples:
- Romans 6:5 : “For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall certainly be also in the likeness of His resurrection .”
- John 15:4 : “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine , so neither can you, unless you abide in me.”
Notice the word “union”? In fact, as we study the Bible, you will find that it continually brings believers back to this concept, inviting them to unite with the Lord and be formed into His image.
Many leaders who love the Lord do not understand these profound things, so few people are taught in this area. I remember many years ago a very close pastor friend of mine said to me, “Nita, don’t get too hung up on talking to people about ‘union with the Lord’ because that is not the doctrine of truth.” I did not argue with him, but I also did not abandon the teachings the Lord had given me. But now, Jesus is awakening the church, and He wants to give this grace to more believers.
Yet today, few are united to the Lord in some way. But believe me, the initial stages of “union with the Lord” are actually not that difficult. All you have to do is obey the Lord. “Union with the Lord” has three pillars: love, faith, and obedience .
From now on, I hope you will think carefully about what I have shared with you and ask the Lord to give you understanding. He will. If you want to know how many times this desirable blessing is mentioned in the Bible – you can ask the Holy Spirit what words to look for. Get out your Bible study tool, the Strong Concordance Bible Index, and you’ll be amazed at how many times these words are mentioned in the New Testament. I hope you will develop a strong interest in “union with the Lord” and be willing to pursue it seriously. I love you and may God bless you!
『Union with the Lord』Walking in Love
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a : “Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast; it is not puffed up or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
If I asked you to read this passage from beginning to end and replace every instance of “love” with your name, could you honestly say that is you? If someone betrayed you or let you down, would you seek revenge? Or do you look at that person with sympathy and try to be kind to your enemy? Are you truly living out every word of this passage? Of course, this is impossible for most people, except those who are already united with Christ. Therefore, our goal is to have Christ formed in our hearts into His image.
The Lord is seeking a resting place with His own divine love, and He longs to possess your whole heart and being completely. Then you will naturally live out these scriptures. Because Christ lives in your heart, His love fills you and controls you. The only way He can take control of you is if you have reached an agreement of total commitment—just like a marriage.
When you reach the final destination of “union with the Lord”, your character, personality, identity and way of looking at things will no longer be the same. At this point, you will see everything through the eyes of the Lord.

- Acts 1:3 And he showed himself alive to them after his suffering by many convincing proofs, being seen by them over a period of forty days and speaking about the things concerning the kingdom of God
Day 43: Restoration of Spiritual Covering and Heavenly Order
- The Scripture declares: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: I will no longer act arbitrarily, I choose to live under the spiritual covering and order established by God!
- Prayer content: Lord, I am willing to be humble and obey the covering you have established for my life – spiritual leaders, family order, and the laws of the kingdom of heaven. I no longer live in danger of being uncovered, but anointed and protected in alignment. Please enable me to rise up in the covering and become a covering and protector for others!
- Chuck Pierce : Fast for a day!
- Read: Ezra 8, Nehemiah 1, and Acts 23 .
- Ezra and his companions, returning from captivity, fasted by the river Ahava as they faced the dangers of their journey. Ask God to lead you into a new path and to break any spirit of deprivation that is in your way.
- Declare that your children (both physical and spiritual) will be protected. If the Holy Spirit requires it, fast. If you feel spiritually
oppression and fasting are necessary. Fasting is often done in times of sorrow. For example, David fasted when he heard the news of Saul and Jonathan’s death; Nehemiah fasted and prayed after learning that Jerusalem had destroyed itself; and Darius, the king of Persia, fasted all night after he threw Daniel into the lions’ den. Ask God to remove old cycles of sadness from your life. Ask God to reveal situations (individuals, cities, families, nations, churches, etc.) that are in a state of decline. Receive God’s supernatural wisdom. - Pray: Ask God to send angels to help you with your predicament. If you are moved, fast for a day. Notice the fasting patterns in Luke 2, Mark 2, Matthew 4, Luke 4 , and Acts 13 . Anna in the temple “served God day and night, fasting and praying . ” John the Baptist led his disciples in fasting. Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights before being tempted. Thank God for giving us the spiritual discipline of fasting, and thank Jesus for faithfully completing His fast.
Day 44: Anointing of Connection and Alliance
- The Scripture declares : “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.” “Two can withstand one who is alone, even if one is victorious; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9, 12)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: I no longer walk alone, I am aligned with the connection ordained by God, and the alliance releases power!
- Prayer : Lord, I thank You for preparing spiritual partners, coverings, co-workers and comrades for me. I reject the spirit of being alone, I am willing to be a rope in unity. I declare: When we form an alliance, the heavens will shake, the earth will be transformed, the enemies will be defeated, and the Kingdom of God will expand!
- Chuck Pierce :
- Read: Daniel 8 , meditate and sing Psalm 34 . Allow the power of angels to help you bring God’s wisdom into your situation. Praise the Lord of Hosts! Tear down strongholds and seize your portion! Changing our minds and realigning our perspectives is a process! I believe God is doing a lot with each of us in this season. I believe His primary goal is for us to understand His mind and intentions as we move into the next level of promise. We have an inheritance in the land He has prepared for us. When we refuse to properly wire our minds, religious strongholds are formed within our thought processes and have the power to operate. Jesus tells us that you cannot mend an old garment with new cloth, nor can you put new revelation into an old structure. In facing the “new” we must dismantle the old. Our old thought patterns must be precisely dismantled and new ones must be established. A new connected mindset of time, season, action, and approach must align. This requires tearing down those strongholds that stand against our territory and prevent new fruit.
I wrote about these things in The Battle for the Church’s Future and Reading the Current Situation. When new ideas have a hard time fitting into existing thought structures and creating new ways of doing things, you likely have a stronghold. A stronghold is a thought pattern that resists the will of God. This kind of thinking is polluted by evil forces and causes you to be unwilling to align your thoughts with the mind of Christ. We all process what we see and feel through our senses, but we do not process information or revelation in the same way. If you’re not careful, you might end up rejecting someone simply because they see things from a different perspective. Cultures and races process information differently. The environment affects our thoughts. Men and women may describe the same object or scene completely differently. However, “in Christ” we should understand and know the God who created us. When we face a world full of distractions, how we “filter” these distractions and choose the best ones is the key to our success. Distractions cloud your decision-making and discernment. As we interact, we can begin to tear down strongholds and shape our identities for the future.
- Read: Daniel 8 , meditate and sing Psalm 34 . Allow the power of angels to help you bring God’s wisdom into your situation. Praise the Lord of Hosts! Tear down strongholds and seize your portion! Changing our minds and realigning our perspectives is a process! I believe God is doing a lot with each of us in this season.

Our old thought patterns must be precisely dismantled and new ones must be established. A new connected mindset of time, season, action, and approach must align. This requires tearing down those strongholds that stand against our territory and prevent new fruit.
Day 45: Prepare your heart for the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit
- The Scripture declares , “Be glad, O daughter of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for He gives you the autumn rain in due time, and sends you showers, both the autumn rain and the spring rain, as at first. The threshing floors will be filled with wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil” (Joel 2:23-24).
- Prophetic declaration : I declare: My heart is ready, the spring rain and autumn rain will water it, and the harvest season will come!
- Prayer : Lord, my heart is open to You, may Your rain nourish my dry life. I want to prepare myself for the Pentecostal fire and anointing that is coming. Please remove my hardness, stubbornness, and insensitivity, and let me become a piece of soft soil, waiting for the rain from heaven to pour down upon me!
- Chuck Pierce :
- Read and memorize 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.“Although we live in the world, we do not fight according to worldly standards, because the weapons we use are not worldly but have divine power to pull down strongholds. We destroy every plot and every high thing that stands in our way. Take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ. When we are fully obedient, we are ready to punish all disobedience. ”
- Ask yourself: Is there an area where I am elevating my thoughts above the Word of God? Am I proud somewhere? Is my pride and insecurity keeping me from receiving the revelation and counsel I need to enter a new dimension of freedom?
Day 46: The Anointing is Poured Out
- The Scripture declares , “You love righteousness, and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.” (Psalm 45:7)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: Today a new anointing will be poured out, I will be anointed and enter the position that God has specially prepared for me!
- Prayer : Lord, I long for Your anointing. Please send down fresh oil from heaven today and anoint me as a leader, intercessor, worshiper, and workplace messenger. I want to be a vessel for the flow of Your anointing, not relying on power, not relying on talent, but relying on Your Spirit to accomplish things!
- Chuck Pierce : Take it and fight it with the prophetic word!
- Memory: 1 Timothy 1:18-20. “May these instructions I have for you according to the prophecies spoken to you earlier help you to fight in the battles of the Lord. Hold fast to your faith in Christ and keep a clear conscience. For some have deliberately violated their consciences, and as a result their faith has been shipwrecked.” Also read Exodus 23 .
Day 47: Authority Activated
- The Scripture declares : “Behold, I give you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will by any means harm you.” (Luke 10:19)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: I no longer live in weakness, I am a prince/princess with heavenly authority!
- Prayer : Lord, I thank You for the authority from heaven. Today, I choose to step out of fear and live out the victory of Christ. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I trample on the enemy’s schemes, break the chains that bind me, and release God’s will to be accomplished in my family, workplace, and city!
- Read Romans 6 and memorize verse 14 . “Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Is there an area in your life where you are dominated or ruled? This is the sign of how to spot a stronghold. The thought patterns associated with this stronghold must be discovered and dismantled. Be aware that this may be a hurt emotion and the behavior you are doing or “acting out” is actually covering up the real emotional pain. Ask God for the grace to overcome! Now read Romans 7 .
Day 48: Sent Into the Kingdom
- The Scripture declares : “Again Jesus said to them, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.’” (John 20:21)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: I am sent! I am not just blessed, I am an outlet for blessing and a vessel for transformation!
- Prayer : Lord, I hear Your voice of sending: “Can you go for me?” Today I responded: “Here I am, please send me!” Send me into campuses, families, workplaces, cities, and nations. I am no longer just a spectator, I am a representative of the kingdom with authority and anointing!
- Chuck Pierce :
- Read: Romans 8. Know that you can defeat the condemning thoughts that seek to deny you victory.
- Recite verses 6-8 . “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. For the carnal mind is hostile to God; it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.”
Day 49: Workers of the End-Time Harvest
- The Scripture declares : “Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.’” (Matthew 9:37–38)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: I am no longer just praying for the harvest, I am the reaper sent out!
- Prayer : Lord, this land is thirsty for the gospel! Please raise up a new generation of harvest workers who are not afraid of cultural, religious, or political darkness. I am willing to be the sickle in Your hand, entering into every tribe, language, and people to harvest souls, so that the kingdom can expand and the glory can belong to You!
- Chuck Pierce : Today begins with a simple thought. Hold on to this thought.
- Meditate on Isaiah 55:8 . Read Psalm 94 . Recite Luke 21:19 , “By your patience you preserve your lives.” “If you stand firm, you will find your lives.”
- Read Matthew 14 . God will teach you how to ride the waves in new ways! Hear Him say, “This is your time to rise up and take possession of your life. If you can take possession of your soul, then I will let you take possession of this field. You will walk in and say, ‘This is Mine. Restore everything!’ Take your mind first, then I will realign everything. You have complicated your progress. Simplify! Start with one thought, then move on. I will hasten you to victory! You will find yourself picking up the spoils of your enemies. Twelve baskets later, you will say, ‘I will take back what was once lost! I have learned to multiply!’ Take your fields first. Those who have never allowed My gifts to rise up and multiply, you will see a new beginning.” Sound creates action. Know that God can empower you to regain your lost ground. Go forward – learn patience, wait for God’s strategy, and have a joyful heart, confident that you will secure God’s share for you!
Day 50: The outpouring and sending of the Holy Spirit
- The Scripture declares : “When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all together in one place. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues like those of fire, which separated and came to rest on each of them.” (Acts 2:1-3)
- Prophetic Declaration : I declare: Today is the day of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit! I’m not just filled, I’m overflowing!
- Prayer : Holy Spirit, I welcome You! May You pour out upon me today as You did on the day of Pentecost. Burn me, transform me, fill me, enable me to speak in heavenly tongues, release prophetic words, and become a witness to the power of the Kingdom of God. Rivers of living water will flow from within me to heal the nations and ignite the generations!
Seven Important Signs
- 7 Signs You’re in Transition Here are seven important signs that God may be leading you into a major transformation in your life:
- Persistent inner agitation or restlessness Even when everything seems normal on the outside, you feel uneasy or dissatisfied. This inner stirring is often God’s way of reminding you that the current season is coming to an end and He is preparing you for something new.
- Closed Doors or Sudden DisturbancesOpportunities once relied upon may suddenly close or no longer be viable. While this may be painful, it is usually done to clear obstacles so you can move in a new direction that is aligned with God’s will. For example, in 1 Kings 17, Elijah lived off a stream of water for three years until the stream dried up—the depletion of a resource heralding the coming of a new season.
- You may be continually receiving prophetic words regarding change, transformation, movement, or stirring, through prophetic words, prayer, or clear direction through the scriptures. During your quiet time, you may repeatedly feel a message, theme, or scripture touch your heart and point you to a new direction, season, or calling. The greater the transformation, the clearer the testimony of God.
- Get Confirmation from Wise Counsel A trusted person—a mentor, spiritual leader, or mature believer—may confirm the stirrings of your heart.
- New doors may open without warning, unexpected opportunities or divine connections, or God may bring you to the right person at the right time. These moments often fit so well that it’s hard to believe they’re just coincidences.
- Being called into greater faith or risk Transformation often requires you to take a step of faith and leave your comfort zone. If you feel like God is challenging you to trust Him in new ways, He may be preparing you for a greater plan.
- A Peace That Passes Understanding Even in the midst of uncertainty and turmoil, you may still feel an inner peace that cannot be shaken. When circumstances seem chaotic, but there is an unexpected calm, this is often a strong sign that God is guiding you.

- Lev 23:15 And you shall count from the day after the Sabbath, when you presented the wave sheaf, seven full Sabbaths.
- Lev 23:16 And he shall count fifty days, even unto the day after the seventh Sabbath: and he shall offer a new meal offering unto the LORD.
- Lev 23:17 And you shall bring from your dwellings two loaves of a wave offering of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour baked with leaven, as a wave offering of firstfruits to Jehovah.
- The Levites Make Their Own Heave Offerings “You shall place the Levites before the LORD… and wave them like a heave offering, that they may do the service of the LORD.” Numbers 8:13–15
- To be cleansed, commissioned and commissioned before God.
Destined Morning Light Series
- Job 38:12 : “You commanded the morning from the beginning of your days; you gave to the morning sun its place.”
- This is a verse about “spiritual governance” and “morning commands.”
- This is also the starting point of our daily “power”. When you wake up in the morning, you are not just starting your day, but issuing a command to align your day with God’s will.
- Every morning is a critical time for us to exercise spiritual authority
- In the spiritual world, the morning light of each day is the gate of time for spiritual transformation.
- If we sleep, become passive, and ignore this moment, darkness may take over.

- In the dream I was shown that within the realm of inheritance, there was a shift in the understanding of the nature and purpose of inheritance. There is a shift from the old order of supply into a whole new capacity for wealth.
- Some will discover that what they carry with them is not just resources, but a wealth like a world power level. However, this door to awakening and understanding depends on mentality and perspective.
- What is “world power”?
- A world power is a country or countries that dominates global economics and actions through its influence and sets the framework for the global order to which it is connected. And what is a “country”? In short, it is a system with culture and language.
- For the LORD your God will bless you, as he has promised; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow from them; you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you. – Deuteronomy 15:6
- “The Lord will open for you the storehouse of heaven to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow from them. You will be above and not below, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today to do them.” – Deuteronomy 28:12-13
- It’s not just about “staying ahead of the curve,” it’s not just about “staying above water,” and it’s not just about running a successful business or being an entrepreneur. This also does not mean that your local government will ask you to pray for them. Rather, there is a superstructure of wealth contained within your inheritance that has the power to unlock heavenly armies—world forces equal to the angelic level as described in Ephesians 6:12.
- “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” – Ephesians 6:12
- The Bible mentions this, especially in the passages that talk about “lending to many nations and borrowing not from anyone” and “being the head and not the tail” :
Wealth is a Battle, Especially a Renewal of Thinking
- The root word for “power of the underworld” here is Kosmokrator (cosmic ruler), which refers to the operation of power in this world system.
- Just as the dark world has its own ruling powers, God has his own world powers—authority and power from the age to come. The dominance and power over this realm is engraved in your blood, your DNA, and your divine blueprint. Once this is activated, you will enter a whole new range of abilities.
- This awakening of transformation will challenge your overly narrow-minded thinking and your ways of supply that are still connected to old thinking about lack and poverty.
- God desires to start a supernatural structure in your life and destiny that is more than just a wealth system as you can imagine. It is much more than money and resources. This is a realm that reigns in abundance, and you must align yourself with the order of Heaven to see it fully released.
- God is causing His Word in you to prosper in all that you put your hands to do. The flourishing design of Your destiny is being revealed to a greater degree. Some shifts and changes in perspective are not just transitions, but reorientations that allow you to enter a higher perspective, reach your highest potential, and unleash a deeper level of influence. Let us enter the seven-day exercise and raise your hands to receive.
Day 1: Entering the Destined Season of Transition

- Theme Declaration: God has engraved the authority and power of the kingdom into my DNA. I have the resources and wisdom from the future world to establish His order on earth.

Day 4: Dismantle the Poverty and Scarcity Mindset
- Theme Declaration : I am not a victim of lack, I am a steward of abundance. All old scarcity mentality, slavery thinking and spirit of compromise now completely leave me.
- Prayer : In the name of Jesus, I break all ties with the spirit of poverty, the spirit of failure, and the spirit of compromise. I receive the mentality of the Kingdom of Heaven: abundance, expansion, governance and creation! I think like a king, I act like a king, I reap like a king!
Day 5: Aligning with Heaven’s Resources
- Theme Declaration : I am aligned with the heavenly treasury. The Father in Heaven will send rain in due season, and He blesses all the works of my hands. I no longer just receive,
- Prayer : Lord, let me be a channel for Your flow. I connect to the economy and strategy of heaven. I am not a reservoir, I am a source of living water. Everything I do will prosper because it is aligned with Your will.
Day 6: Removing Restrictions and Launching the Paranormal Wealth Structure
- Theme Declaration : God is starting a supernatural wealth structure in my life. This system is not affected by the economic fluctuations on earth. It transcends money and is a power that brings transformation and governance.
- Prayer : Heavenly Father, open my eyes to see the heavenly economic order. Align my thinking, plans, and decisions with Your Kingdom. I want to be the carrier of Your rule and blessing, on earth as it is in heaven!
Day 7: Unleashing Full Power and Influence
- Theme Declaration: My inheritance is not only money, but the influence of the kingdom. I will lend to many nations and rule over the nations; I will not be a tail or a slave. My destined world power is being released!
- Prayer : Lord, I declare that I am a son of the Kingdom of God, a royal priest, and the voice of the generation. I arise for this moment! May every aspect of my life enter into the rhythm of Your kingdom and witness Your glory being released to the ends of the earth!

Pray for America: God, Government, and the Church
Editor’s Note: This article is reprinted from Dutch Sheets’ May 22nd 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: One of the fastest ways to create controversy is to mix the subjects of God, government, and the church. It is easy for me to see why the leftist and antichrist elements in our society don’t want God or His Word influencing government. It is inconceivable to me, however, that believers would fall prey to this error. The belief that we are to separate God and government is one of the greatest possible heresies. His influence is meant to permeate EVERY facet of life on Earth.
“Government” is the overseeing or management of an entity. Our English word comes from two Latin and Greek words, which mean “to steer a ship.” Governments are actually sometimes referred to as “ships of state.” AI provided me with the following definitions of government. “A government is the system or group of people responsible for making and enforcing rules, providing public services, and ensuring the overall organization and function of society. It’s the body that makes decisions and establishes policies that affect society, including economic activities and human rights.”
Who wouldn’t want God’s help with this?! Trying to steer ships of state through storms, currents, icebergs, and other dangers without the Creator’s guidance is like “the captain of a ship on a dark night who saw faint lights in the distance. He told his signalman to send the message: ‘Change your course 10 degrees south.’
“Immediately, he received the response: ‘Change your direction 10 degrees north.’
“The proud captain was angry that he was being challenged, so he sent a further message: ‘Change your course 10 degrees south. This is the captain speaking!’
“He received the response: ‘Change your direction 10 degrees north. I’m Seaman Third Class Jones.’
“The captain, thinking he would terrify this insubordinate sailor, wired a third message: ‘Change your direction 10 degrees south. I am a battleship.’
“The final reply came: ‘Change your course 10 degrees north. I am a lighthouse.”(1)
In the Genesis creation, King Jesus prepared Earth, a planet in His Kingdom, to be the home of His future family. He then formed this family, beginning with Adam and Eve. Next, He assigned them, and their descendants, the responsibility of governing or managing their home, the earth, (Hebrew: radah and mashal) and delegated to them the authority needed to do so (Genesis 1:26-28; Psalm 8:6). As those with delegated authority, they were obviously to manage according to God’s will and ways – the principles under which His Kingdom operates.
This was all interrupted at the Fall. We humans lost our relationship with God and decided we could manage the earth without God’s help and guidance. We would just do as we pleased. Chaos ensued. The first son born to Adam and Eve, Cain, killed the second son, Abel (Genesis 4:8). By chapter 6 of Genesis, God said “the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent…was evil” (verse 5). The ship was sinking.
The Repair
But God had a plan for recovery. Jesus was incarnated – He became human – to restore us to God’s family, which all believers know. What is not as well known is that He also came to restore our assignment and authority to manage the earth. The first Adam had lost this, the last Adam recaptured and restored it (1 Corinthians 15:45; Matthew 28:18-20). Our authority to represent God’s Kingdom on earth now flows to us, not from our natural connection with the first Adam, but from our spiritual connection to Christ, the last Adam. This is why we operate “in His name.”
Through this delegated authority, Christ uses the church, His Ekklesia, to once again accomplish His Kingdom will and purposes here on earth (Matthew 16:18-19). When Jesus said He would build His Ekklesia/church, an Ekklesia was a governing body. How would this governing assignment be fulfilled? Not by force! Jesus was not saying we would “govern” or release His will by using physical force, but through spiritual authority and the implementation of His ways – the principles under which His Kingdom operates. To picture this, He said His Kingdom was like leaven, meaning that it permeates and influences all with which it comes into contact (Matthew 13:33). When we operate according to His Kingdom principles, He is steering the ship through us. The same is true when we offer biblical prayers and Spirit-led decrees.
As I alluded to earlier, God’s divine influence should occur in every facet of life on earth. This especially includes government, with its incredible responsibility of “steering the ship.” God intended for ALL earthly government – whether in a home, a city, or a nation – to be an extension of HIS delegated authority, releasing HIS love, resulting in HIS righteousness, justice, and peace on the earth. The more influence God is given – the more a government aligns with His Word and Kingdom principles – the more peace, health, and justice are released into that jurisdiction. In the Scriptures, government leaders – not just spiritual leaders – were almost always involved in God’s saving and transforming of a people and nation. To contend that God would not want to influence government is not only heretical, it is absurd, even asinine.
America’s Restoration
It is impossible to overstate the significance of God being increasingly worshiped and honored by elements of our government. Worship and prayer are now occurring regularly in the White House and congressional offices. President Trump has invited God into the White House. He is attempting to restore not only America’s greatness, but also honor and restore America’s Christian heritage. Coming from the most powerful position in our nation, this is opening the door for even more righteous change in our nation. As all seeds do, the seeds of truth are multiplying after their kind. Spiritual hunger is begetting spiritual hunger, spiritual life is begetting spiritual life. This is flowing down to the nation. Revival has begun and will now multiply. As it does, it will provide the power and ability to also reform laws and systems in accordance with God’s ways and Kingdom principles. We must pray for this to continue.

Pray for Israel: Isaiah 62 Prayer Movement-Prayer Letter for May 2025
Editor’s note: This article is reprinted from the prayer letter of ICEJ (International Christian Embassy Jerusalem ) dated May 3, 2025. The prayer part is also adapted from this article.
【Current Affairs Background: Israel experienced several weeks of relative calm on the Gaza front, but this situation suddenly ended. Israel has decided to resume air and ground combat in Gaza as Hamas refuses to release more Israeli hostages to extend the ceasefire.
The Houthis in Yemen also renewed their missile attacks on Israel, and even rocket fire from Gaza has returned for the first time in six months. With 59 hostages still in captivity, 24 of them presumed to be alive, many Israelis are upset with the government for seemingly abandoning the hostages. Yet the truth is that Hamas simply does not want to release any more hostages, as they are the only ‘insurance’ for their continued existence and rule in Gaza. Please continue to pray for the release of the remaining Israelis held hostage in Gaza, and for total victory and peace for Israel. May Israel know that God will never forsake them for His Holy name’s sake, as assured in 1 Samuel 12:22.
I believe as we pray this month, we should put emphasis on God acting for His Holy name’s sake. From the powerful prophetic passage in Ezekiel 36:16-38, we read that God has not brought the Jewish people back to their ancestral homeland to be destroyed, humiliated or cast down before the Gentile nations, but He has brought them back because of His Holy name’s sake (v. 22), and that through Israel the surrounding nations will know that God is Lord of all (v. 36).
We are now in the Hebrew month of Nisan, which also means we are close to Pesach and the story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and their journey to the Promised Land. Here, we see the same principle, that God acts for His name’s sake. Even when Israel rebelled and God wanted to destroy them for their unbelief (Numbers 14), Moses interceded with the Lord to have mercy on Israel for His name’s sake among the nations (vs. 13-16). In Psalm 106:7-9, it says that even when Israel rebelled at the Red Sea, “He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known.”
This is an important principle to remember when we are praying for Israel. It is not just about Israel; in fact, our emphasis should be much more on the glory and power of God, as He acts to preserve and defend His holy name. Indeed, God has made so many promises to Israel that He cannot break, otherwise His name will be profaned among the nations (Ezekiel 36:20-21).
Jesus himself also taught us to pray in this direction. “Father, hallowed be your name.” (Luke 11:2).
The best days are still ahead for Israel, according to Ezekiel 36. This nation will come to a full spiritual restoration and even the Land will become like the Garden of Eden. The current war is mere birth pangs that God will use to steer the Middle East and the world in the right direction for His name’s sake.
Thank you for praying with us!
Many Blessings,
David van der Walt

Pray for Israel: Current Events and Prayer focus this Week (5/26)
Editor’s Note : This article on current affairs in Israel and other nations is reprinted from a post on May 16 in the “Caring for Israel Telegram Group ”; the prayer focus isin reference to the prayer focus issued by “ Israel Intercessors ” (5/16 ) every Friday for all intercessors to refer to and pray for.
Israel and other nations
Israel
- Israeli special forces eliminated terrorist commander Sarhan in central Khan Yunis.
- Netanyahu said a humanitarian crisis must be prevented in order to maintain freedom of movement and gain support from allies. He stressed that strong U.S. support will continue, but the humanitarian disaster in Gaza is unacceptable. At the same time, Hamas plunders humanitarian aid to finance its terrorist activities. To cut off Hamas’ aid channels, Israel and the United States established a three-stage framework to ensure that food reaches civilians first.
- In response to calls for “ending the war”, he said Israel’s security must be ensured, including the return of hostages, Hamas laying down its arms and demilitarization.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Trump to express his condolences for the killing of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington and his hope that they would be remembered. Netanyahu thanked the Trump administration for its efforts to combat anti-Semitism in the United States. The two leaders discussed the Gaza war, and Trump supported Netanyahu, including releasing all hostages, eliminating Hamas and advancing Trump’s plan. Both sides agreed that it is necessary to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons.
- Netanyahu discussed the killing of two ambassadorial staff members in Washington with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Wright, calling it a difficult and terrible thing. He thanked the United States for its stance against anti-Semitism and stressed the need to fight anti-Semitism and violence against Israel to the end.
USA
- White House spokesman: We are 100 percent committed to the red line set by Special Envoy Vitkov, which is that Iran will not be able to enrich uranium. We have also made this clear in our talks with Iran.
- The Trump administration is considering relocating approximately one million Palestinians in Gaza to Libya. In exchange, the United States will unfreeze funds frozen in Libya decades ago. This proposal is under discussion.
- The Trump administration made it clear to Hamas: It hopes all hostages will be released!
- President Trump’s speech at a joint press conference with the President of South Africa: Don’t expect any results from filing a lawsuit against Israel in The Hague Court
- President Trump told South African President Cyril Ramaphosa that hundreds to thousands of people are trying to immigrate to the United States because they fear being killed and having their land confiscated, and South Africa does have laws allowing for land confiscation.
- The couple murdered in Washington, D.C. in the name of “Free Palestine” were Israeli embassy worker Aaron Lischinsky and his fiancée Sarah Milgrim.
- President Trump said: The horrific killing in Washington, DC was motivated by anti-Semitism and must stop immediately! Hate and radicalism have no place in America. We express our sincere condolences to the families of the victims. Rodriguez, from Chicago, was the killer and when he was arrested he shouted “Free Palestine”.
- This danger is evident everywhere, in the slogans “from the river to the sea,” in Hamas’s manipulation of protests, in the silencing of institutions, and in the distortion of free speech into a tool of terrorism. This incident is not an isolated incident, but a continuation of October 7th. This is not just a threat to the Jews, it is a threat to civilization as a whole.
- U.S. Middle East envoy Vitkov announced that the United States would not accept any level of uranium enrichment in a potential deal with Iran. “We cannot allow even 1% uranium enrichment capacity,” he said, highlighting the US government’s firm opposition to uranium enrichment while seeking a peaceful solution to the issue through dialogue.
Nations
- Azerbaijani Defense Minister Hasanov led a Defense Ministry delegation to Israel and met with Defense Minister Katz and Chief of General Staff Zamir. The talks deepened military technology and military education cooperation between the two countries.
- Azerbaijan supports Israel and says it should not aid Gaza.
- Iran’s foreign minister declared: Iran will never give up its hard-earned right to peaceful uranium enrichment. The sentiment was echoed by Iranian President Pezeshkian, who criticized Trump’s dual message of “peace and threats.”
- Four to six countries, including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Syria and Lebanon, are likely to join Saudi Arabia and others in the Abraham Accords in the coming months.

Pray for Israel: Operation Gideon’s Chariot begins: Israel Aims to Eradicate Hamas
Editor’s Note: This article was reprinted from CANWF in Jerusalem on May 21, 2025. The prayer section is also based on this section.
【Current Affairs Background: Last Sunday (5/18), the Israel Defense Forces officially launched “Operation Gideon’s Chariots” in Gaza, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal. Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir said the operation was aimed at “recovering the hostages” and “eradicating Hamas.” According to information provided by the IDF, Israel has sent a total of five divisions (Note: a division consists of 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers) to fight Hamas terrorists. Currently, Israel has attacked about 670 Hamas military targets, namely Hamas’ arsenals, underground tunnels and anti-missile units. Israel has never sent such a large army to Gaza since 2024, in order to expand the Israeli military’s control in Gaza as soon as possible to prevent the resurgence of Hamas terrorists.
The Necessity of Operation Gideon’s Chariot
Since mid-March, when hostage agreement negotiations stalled and Israel resumed military operations for more than 70 days, no other hostages have been released except for the release of American-Israeli hostage Alexander. Although the Israel Defense Forces already control nearly 40% of the Gaza region, the reality is that Hamas has “once again” attacked and killed many Israeli soldiers.
Current affairs commentators familiar with the fighting warn that what is happening in Gaza is a repeat of what the Israeli army is doing in Lebanon. Israeli troops have been stationed in southern Lebanon for 18 years, suffering from attacks and threats from the Hezbollah terrorist militia. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, even though Israel is well aware that escalating the war is not an easy task, when Israel faces the fact that there are still countless Gaza terrorists who are planning to launch new attacks on Israel, Israel decides that it must expand its military operations in Gaza to protect national security . And this is a decision Israel must make.
Last week, Israelis demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to call on U.S. President Donald Trump to secure the release of all hostages held in Gaza. (Photo credit: Reuters)
Does This Action Represent Abandonment of Hostages?
The hostages’ families fear that the expanded military operation will endanger those still held in Gaza . As of now, there are still 58 hostages held in Gaza, of which only 23 are believed to be survivors. Israeli officials once again reiterated that the purpose of the military operation is to “release all hostages” and “strike Hamas.”
Israel’s military action still leaves some room for hostage agreement negotiations, which means that Israel has not 100% rejected the possibility of hostage agreement negotiations. According to American hostage envoy Adam. Adam Boehler said at the Post conference: ” The IDF’s ground military operations in Gaza will help the United States promote initiatives related to the hostage agreement. ” He emphasized that the United States is willing to facilitate a hostage agreement, but only if Hamas is truly “willing” to release the hostages.
In addition, Israel is providing humanitarian aid to Gaza through its approved contractors and is ensuring that these new resources will not be hijacked by Hamas terrorists; at the same time, Israel says this aid is sufficient to prevent Gaza’s poor from starving.
Watching Israeli Military Operations
Let us watch over Israel’s expanded military operations and pray that God will allow Israel to accomplish their military goals, not only to eradicate Hamas, which poses a threat to Israel and Gaza, but also to rescue the remaining hostages.

Critical Event: Canada – The Best is Yet to Come!
【Background of Current Events: The Canadian federal election ended on April 28. Under the manipulation of the fake issue of “fighting Trump”, the Liberal Party won 170 seats, but still failed to reach the 172 seats required to pass the half mark. The Conservative Party, which had once surpassed the Liberal Party by 20 percentage points in pre-election polls, came in second with 143 seats, an increase of 23 seats from the last time.
However, this result may be somewhat discouraging or disappointing to Christians who have participated in praying for the Canadian election or to people who support conservative positions, and they need to be encouraged.
Prophet Veronika West recently published an article detailing an “Open Vision” she received on May 7 this year. Here is her article:
The Carney Throne and the Infestation of Borers
On May 7, 2025 , I had a wonderful open-ended vision. Suddenly, I had a glimpse in my spirit of Mr. Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, sitting on a throne-like chair. Although it looked majestic, there was a sense of emptiness – it gave me the chills! Then suddenly the view shifted and my eyes were drawn to the wood of the chair, it was as if I was taken into the wood and I saw that the entire chair was crawling with woodworms!
Suddenly, the left leg of the chair broke, and the chair became completely unstable. The wood was crawling with bugs, thousands of tiny wood borers were slowly eating away at Carney’s wooden chairs, and thousands of eggs / larvae were scattered across the wood grain. This throne-like chair was so infested with woodworms that I could actually hear them gnawing at the wood structure!
The chair now looked askew and awkward, but Carney appeared to still be sitting, though trying desperately to stay upright. Then I saw some people start to gather around him frantically, trying to prop up the broken legs of the chair. They desperately tried to add things to stabilize the chair – but to no avail!
Although the borers appear to be eating “slowly”, the infestation is now so extensive that, like an extremely aggressive cancer, entire structures and systems are being destroyed from the inside!
I knew in my spirit that a great disaster was coming and everything would be exposed to the world!
As I continued to look at the Chairman and Mr. Carney of Canada who was sitting above, I saw that his own bones were quickly becoming infected as well and deep decay had begun to eat away at his body!
Corruption is Crumbling
The Holy Spirit immediately made it known to Veronica that the chair/throne—in essence—had been completely destroyed and was now only a mere formality! The broken legs of the chair symbolize instability, while the termites represent internal corruption, that is to say: ” strong on the outside, corrupt on the inside” foreshadows the collapse of this corrupt political structure.
In the Bible, woodworms symbolize decay and judgment. Mark 9:48: “Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.” Symbolizes the eternal torment of the wicked.
Isaiah 14:11 speaks of worms devouring the king of Babylon : “Worms are your bed, and maggots your covering. ” This powerful image, linked to Carney’s role as godfather of the World Economic Forum and former president of two Rothschild central banks – represents the financial underpinnings of the Babylonian system in which we live.
Locusts and moths symbolize destruction but also restoration. The locusts may devour everything, but then they return to their original state. This is what we are about to witness – this is the beginning of a turnaround, the venomous insects are destroying themselves, clearing the way for renewal and resurgence.
And recently, when the Holy Spirit told Veronica about the prophetic revelation of the newly elected Pope, the Holy Spirit gave her Revelation 14:11: “The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and his image, and those who receive the mark of his name.”
The number 14+11=25 – this year is 2025 (5785 in the Jewish calendar). Here’s a relevant prophetic connection!
Canada’s Remnant to Rise Up – The Best is Yet to Come
Despite the chaos, there is hope. Canada’s best days are coming because God is training a remnant – a people of the Kingdom of God who know Him and will bring about a great revival. These remnants have nothing to do with religion, but rather with influence, and truly knowing their identity in the Kingdom of God, being able to hold authority on earth, becoming living stones for building the temple, becoming the righteous foundation of the nation, bringing about revival and transformation, and ending corruption.
Believe that this is a process. The days ahead are filled with hope, renewal, and divine justice. The throne may look magnificent, but bugs are at work. Soon, the old order will collapse, making way for a new, godly governance that respects truth, freedom, and our national covenant. Canada, stay strong. The best is yet to come.

Critical Event: Prophetic Insights into the New Pope
【Background: American Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the 267th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church on the evening of May 8th local time. His name is ” Pope Leo XIV” and he became the first American Pope. Former Pope Francis accepted same-sex marriage on gender issues, compromised with the secular world, and repeatedly deviated from the biblical position, becoming a controversial figure of his generation .
According to expert analysis , Leo XIV was chosen as Pope to represent the continuation of the ideas of the late Pope Francis, and he is expected to continue to promote “social justice” and a series of church reforms initiated by other Pope Francis.
The New Pope and the Prophetic Age: Amanda Grace on Pope Leo XIV
Have we just turned the page and entered the age of prophecy? Amanda Grace shares her amazing spiritual insights on this.
- The name chosen by the new Pope, “Leo XIV”, has a prophetic meaning behind it: Leo means “lion”, and “Leo XIV” means “Lion” XIV. This is extremely prophetic and far-reaching. The new Pope will become a symbol of the times.
- The election in the United States last November was a catalyst for major shifts in the spiritual realm. It triggered a change of popes that would affect the entire planet. Between that election and President Trump’s second term, we are now seeing the first-ever election of an American pope.
- The election of a new pope takes place during the 50-day period between Passover and Pentecost. 50 is the year of jubilee, when there will be a reversal. So, at Pentecost there will be fire and there will be lions – Leo XIV.
- This is crucial for the critical two-year period we are about to enter. The Lion will be Pope and he is American, it is all relevant.
As Grace proclaims, this moment is not just a political or religious milestone but a prophetic shift of global significance. From the rise of the American pope to the symbolic moment between Passover and Pentecost, every detail shows that a divine arrangement is playing out on the world stage.

Did God talk to His Prophets About the Next Pope Years in Advance?
If the Lord God does not reveal his secret to his servants the prophets, he will do nothing. (Amos 3:7)
In a recently released video, prophet Charlie Shamp shared a vision he had on May 19, 2018 , of the end of Pope Francis’ life and what the next pope will look like:
“In spirit I saw the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica. I saw St. Peter’s throne and Pope Francis sitting on it. He looked very ill, in fact his health seemed to be declining before my eyes. He seemed to be deeply traumatized and unable to recover, and suddenly he stepped down and another pope took his place.
The newly elected pope seemed very cunning and smart, he claimed to carry the keys to the kingdom, and his youthful temperament made him very attractive. His face is like stone, but he claims to be like rock. I am very upset about the sudden change and the person who is now sitting in the chair. Seeing him, my heart was filled with sorrow, and in an instant my soul returned to the living room where I had just been sitting. I don’t see a date for this to happen, but it will happen. There are huge changes taking place on Earth that are unprecedented in history. At this time, we must remain alert and vigilant. Now is the time for the church to begin praying like never before. “
Champ believes that the timing and identity of the new pope have important prophetic significance. “I don’t believe it’s an accident that he was chosen as an American to fight against what God is doing right now in America.” He warned that the newly elected pope could be a big part of the globalist forces’ fight against the coming Third Great Awakening. We desperately need to pray and trust that God will bring revival and that any deception attempted through the Pope will be broken.
As history unfolds before our eyes, Charlie Champ’s vision is both a prophetic warning and a call for spiritual vigilance. As the world celebrates the election of the first American pope, Champ urged the faithful not to be overwhelmed by the excitement but to discern the times with prayerful clarity. At a time of global influence and spiritual power, Champ’s message is clear: The church must rise up in intercession, reject deception, and strive for the revival God has ordained for this generation.

Veronika West Prophetic Insights
“Breaking News; New Pope Election; Pope Leo XIV; Elected May 8, 2025!”
When I saw this headline, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Watch and pray! For the smoke of their torment will continue to rise…” I thought of Revelation 14:11 , “The smoke of their torment will ascend forever and ever. And they will have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and his image, and anyone who receives the mark of his name. ”
-
- Revelation 14:11 – (14 + 11 = 25)(2025)…(5785)(25)
- Also, Daniel 8 ; the Antichrist is the final horn in Daniel 8!
- May 8, 2025: (8), prophetically symbolizes a new beginning; a new order is emerging!
- The prophetic concept of the “eighth day” is usually associated with the reign of the Antichrist, representing the period of tribulation and false peace before the end of time!
- Pope Francis has died at the age of 88. There are still 8 months until his 89th birthday – 88/8; we all know that the number “8” represents a new beginning, new life, resurrection, and recovery. “88”: It means double or twice. It also represents restoration and freedom, symbolizing divine transition and redemption, especially the redemption of time and seasons.
- Pope Francis died on the 21st: 777=21 We all know that the number “7” represents perfection, divine order, and completion!
- New Pope elected; 8th day; Pope Leo XIV; 14th day; (7/7=14); prophetic meaning (7) fulfilled; first pope from the United States;
Veronika West heard God say to her, “Watch, the nations have now crossed the threshold… the time of sorrow has indeed begun.” The Holy Spirit reminded her of Matthew 24 (three 8s) verse 8: “These are the beginning of sorrow (birth pains).”
The whole earth has entered the beginning of “birth pains,” which will be marked by a series of profound and intense challenges, including new wars, greater famines, new and ancient plagues, larger and stronger earthquakes, forest fires, devastation from volcanic eruptions, the resetting of national borders, etc., which will increase in frequency and speed as the time of His Second Coming approaches.
This is indeed a sign, but it also represents that the nations have crossed the threshold and entered a new beginning, and all peoples will leave Egypt for the second time. The pope, who died on Easter Monday at the age of 88, powerfully proclaimed the birth of a new Kingdom of God on earth, the birth of new wineskins ready to be poured out with new wine and oil.

Ricci Johnson-Wilson Shares About the Pope and Catholicism
… The previous pope was quite liberal, you could even consider him a Marxist. Everything He stands for, we fight against in prayer. He endorsed birth control, embraced green activism, and even called for radical measures to “save the planet” and issued ten commandments to prevent climate change. He has endorsed LGBTQ+ ideology by openly accepting gay priests and same-sex marriage. He has called for open borders, condemned national leaders who fought to protect them, and perhaps most importantly, deliberately ignored the protections of the victims of a scandal involving abuse by Catholic priests in the Northeast a few years ago, took no action to prevent such incidents from happening again, and quietly transferred the priests to different dioceses.
As the old power of Catholicism dies out and new power prepares and enters, God says that the next Pope will be worse than all the previous ones combined. The heaviness I feel comes from the darkness in the heart of the next Pope. Then I saw a large exodus of believers leaving Catholicism. The Lord will use this papal appointment to awaken His people and get them out of Catholicism!
… The evil spirit that is prevalent in Catholicism is the spirit of compromise, which releases a dormant spirit that keeps people trapped in deception. We see a huge growth in its influence today, with many Christian leaders working with or connecting with Catholicism. Catholics often call themselves “Christians,” but this is only part of the deception. The ultimate goal of Catholicism is to bring all religions under its rule.
Not only will the decisions and message of the new pope be more liberal than the previous one, but he will also further leverage Francis’ message of “tolerance and understanding” to promote Catholicism as a world religion.
In the process, a massive exodus of congregants will begin! The decisions and policies that the next pope will implement will be so liberal, so shocking, that it will serve as a catalyst to break through the haze that has bewitched faithful Catholics, awakening them and causing them to flee Catholicism. I believe people are bound by the Catholic spirit of compromise, and God will set the captives free! …because God has a plan for all of us! It is not unity, not coexistence, nor tolerance, but the explosive operation of God.

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.
