Dutch was planning to give you a special GH15 for Monday but he’s asked me to let you know it will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday and will instead, be a podcast. That way he can take his time in sharing his heart with you. If you are subscribed to our YouTube channel, you will receive a notification when it is posted. Today’s post was taken from a book called God Be With Us - a Daily Guide to Praying for Our Nation. It was written right after 9/11 by dear friends of ours who have written MANY books, Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock. For a season of time, Quin and her husband Leroy attended the church we pastored in Colorado Springs. The Power of Forgiveness One of America’s greatest adversaries in World War II was Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese general commander who led the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. He was a hero to the Japanese, but hated by the Americans. Shortly after the attack, Jake DeShazer enlisted in the U.S. Air Force with a personal vendetta against Commander Fuchida and the Japanese. He participated in Jimmy Doolittle’s secret bombing raid over Tokyo some four months after Pearl Harbor. During the mission, however, his plane ran out of fuel and he was forced to land in Japanese-occupied China. He was captured by the Japanese and held as a prisoner of war for more than 3 years. Being close to death due to starvation and torture, DeShazer begged his captors for a Bible. After reading many passages, he gave his heart to Jesus. “I suddenly discovered God had given me new spiritual eyes,” he later said. “I found my bitter hatred for them [the Japanese] changed to loving pity.” DeShazer’s new spiritual perspective gave him physical strength and purpose for living. When the war ended, he was released and fully recovered. He returned to the United States and enrolled in a Bible college. Upon his graduation, he returned to Japan, only this time he brought love and a message of hope, instead of hatred. Years later, Mitsuo Fuchida was stepping off a train in Tokyo when an American missionary handed him a pamphlet entitled, “I Was a Prisoner of Japan,” written by DeShazer. Impressed with the peace DeShazer had found in Scripture, the desperately unhappy Fuchida purchased a Bible and began studying it. He was struck by the words of Jesus: “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). He realized he was one of those for whom Christ had prayed. “I requested him to forgive my sins and change me from a bitter, disillusioned ex-pilot into a balanced person with purpose in living,” he said. “I would give anything to retract my actions at Pearl Harbor...but it is impossible.” This man, who led the raid of death with a great ambition to become a highly acclaimed fighter pilot, spent the last twenty-five years of his life as an “ambassador of peace” sharing the message of forgiveness. Impossible as it may seem, God is able to reveal the truth of the forgiveness of sins to the most hate-filled avenger, and also to the most determined aggressor. He wants us to agree with His purposes and pray to that end. What a wonderful story. Hearing stories like this one inspires us. Repentance and forgiveness actually need to be a regular part of our lives. As we go through life, we encounter many opportunities to take up an offense and allow bitterness to take root. The key is to live our lives in the secret place and maintain a spirit of humility and honesty, being transparent so Holy Spirit can show our blind spots. Just as personal repentance and forgiveness is needed, corporate repentance is also. For a nation hoping to enjoy God’s favor, a crucial key is repentance. Our pastors and spiritual leaders carry the responsibility of leading their congregations and those whom they influence, in learning to hear God’s heartbeat for them and for their nation, including corporate repentance. In 2001, soon after the terrorists hit the Twin Towers, Pastor Sheets told his congregation: “Our message must be one of carefully balanced grace and truth. God’s desire is always to forgive and redeem...to turn us from our sin, not destroy us for it. He is ‘slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness’ (Psalm 86:15 NASB). Dutch then shared some principles that are appropriate for us today: Pray that all Believers will see a need for humility and repentance. Pray that as Christians, we will respond to the needs in our nation with great wisdom. Ask for a turning of our nation back to God and believe He can do so. Ask for God’s mercy to triumph (James 2:13). Pray for comfort in our nation, but that it would be accompanied with true recognition of our great spiritual need. Pray that our government leaders will move with great wisdom and make sound decisions. Forgive those who have wronged us, yet pray for justice (not revenge) to evildoers (Matthew 7:1, Romans 13:4). When God spoke to Solomon, He said, “If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray” (2 Chronicles 7:14). It seems clear He expects His people to repent on behalf of the nation, not just for their own sins. This requires deep and sometimes painful humility. But it is worth it to know God will reward our repentance with His grace - both for us personally and for the nation. Jesus said, “Forsake the habit of criticizing and judging others, and then you will not be criticized and judged in return. Don’t look at others and pronounce them guilty, and you will not experience guilty accusations yourself. Forgive over and over and you will be forgiven over and over.” (Luke 6:37 TPT) A prayer you can pray: Oh Lord, we confess that we have sinned against You in thought, with our words, and with our deeds, by what we have done and by what we have not done that we should have. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. Lord Jesus, we are truly sorry and we humbly repent. We ask for Your mercy and forgiveness. We desire to delight in Your will and walk in Your ways. And Lord, although it’s difficult to pray for those who may be our enemies or those whom we just do not see eye to eye, we pray for Your mercy and grace. You don’t love us any more than You love our enemies. Jesus, Your blood was shed for all of us, and we are grateful for that truth. Holy Spirit, the One who is our Helper - help us to live a life of forgiveness and humility. Just as Jesus stood up to those who opposed Him, we ask for Your patience and again, humility as we encounter those who might challenge us. Let us always be an example of Your truth, loving-kindness, Your peace, and joy, and at times, even Your longsuffering. Thank You for loving us and having patience with us and with what we are walking through as a nation. We know that You will always remain faithful. In Jesus’ name we pray...Amen. Decree: We declare that Your truth remains, that You will forgive our sins and the sins of our nation.

The Boardroom The following dream is incredibly encouraging. It is, in my opinion, a follow up to the dream I shared a couple of weeks ago about Operation Redeem All. Both of these dreams say to me that we are entering the great revival many have seen coming. As with numerous dreams sent to me in this season, the cloud of witnesses is involved. I am not defending or endorsing attempts to communicate with the dead (necromancy). We do not do that. Through this phenomenon of dreams, God is showing us that what they produced and accomplished, we are now about to build on and move forward. It is simply “the synergy of the ages,” which I have spoken about in recent Give Him 15s. In this particular dream, a merger of sorts - at both a heart level and cooperation level - takes place between two distinct streams of the body of Christ: the Word of Faith stream and the apostolic, prophetic, prayer stream I am part of. A well-known word of faith leader (whom we’ll call Joe) graciously states that he has been uncertain of some of the things we have been doing, but now sees their validity. He is embracing them, intends to catch up and wants to merge efforts. It must be said, even though it is not stated in the dream, that I and others in the circles I run with acknowledge that many in his stream are ahead of us in certain aspects of their understanding and revelation. All of us have strengths and weaknesses. The point in this dream is not to compare, but to show that God is bringing harmony, and even cooperation, between our streams; and that this will produce great spiritual wealth for the kingdom. Here is the dream, after which I’ll share further insights: The Boardroom “On the morning of January 31, 2021, I (Greg Hood) dreamed Dutch and I were in a large boardroom. The room was a traditional boardroom with a very long table and chairs, like you would see in any boardroom where meetings take place. The room was on the top floor of a large high-rise building. (I don’t recall entering the building. The dream began with us being at the entrance to the large boardroom.) “Dutch and I were the first ones to enter this room; we were early. He was wearing a tie and kept adjusting it, saying, ‘I don’t like these things and am ready to take this tie off.’ “Since we were early, no one else had yet arrived. We walked over to the windows surrounding the entire room and looked out. Dutch remarked, ‘Hood, all we can see from here are the clouds.’ I said, ‘You are right. We have seen a lot from the clouds lately, but nothing like we are getting ready to see.’ “As I said this, the door to the room opened and four more apostolic, prophetic leaders we are related to spiritually arrived: Tim Sheets, Clay Nash, Randy Lopshire, and Jacquie Tyre. Tim commented to us, ‘You guys are early. When you are early, all you can do is look out the window and enjoy the clouds.’ Tim was teasing Dutch, his natural brother. Clay spoke up and said, ‘Man, I just had a déjà vu experience. I feel like we have been here before.’ Different Streams “The boardroom doors opened and a leader in the Faith Movement (whom I’ll call Joe) walked in. He said, ‘Am I late? Timing is everything to me. It took me a long time to get here but I am here. Let’s get started.’ Dutch replied, ‘We can’t just yet. The others are not yet here. I believe they will be along shortly.’ Joe then replied, ‘Dutch, I am so glad you are here and that you got here before me. I would not have liked being here in this room alone if I had been the first to arrive.’ “He then continued, ‘I have heard so much about you, Dutch. I wasn’t sure about all that you were doing in the nation, and didn’t know how I felt about it. But an angel came and instructed me to go into business with you, giving me the scripture, Luke 19:11-13. I have been very excited ever since. I know we’re about to make each other very wealthy.’ Joe then looked intently at Dutch and said, ‘You are out of my wheelhouse but I’m catching up. I won’t be behind any longer.’ Dutch then took his tie off and replied, ‘It’s so awesome to have you at the table, Joe.’ “As we stood by the large windows, Dutch leaned over to me and whispered, ‘I’m not even sure why we’re here.’ He then dropped his tie into a wastebasket by the window where we stood and said, ‘Let’s all take a seat, they’ll be here any second now.’ We all took our seats on one side of the table. The Cloud of Witnesses “As we did, the large glass doors at the entrance of the board room opened. Walking in with Jesus were Gordon Lindsay, Charles Spurgeon, Kenneth Hagin, and a man named Dean. (I did not know Dean but felt an excitement and a connection with him because my middle name is Dean.) They sat on the opposite side of the boardroom table. “Kenneth Hagin then said, ‘Let’s start the transfer and merger. Is everyone ready?’ Those on our side of the table looked at one another as if to say, ‘What’s being transferred? What merger?’ Gorden Lindsay had a large smile on his face and said, ‘There is much that has been held back from your generation but now it is time to release it to you - both what we have - along with new insights and gifts. They are your inheritance and your assignment!’ “Simultaneously, Gordon Lindsay and Kenneth Hagin slid papers across the table. Gordon Lindsay slid his papers to Dutch; Kenneth Hagin slid his papers to Joe. I was able to see what was written on the papers. They both read, ‘KINGDOM DECREE - TITLE DEED.’ The First Document “The document Joe received was beautiful. It was trimmed in gold around the edges and had an amazing picture of a crown at the top. It looked new, obviously having been well kept. Written under ‘KINGDOM DECREE - TITLE DEED’ were the words, ‘RENEWED FOUNDATION ALIGNMENT.’ Underneath that was written: ‘HARVEST, SIGNS, WONDERS, and MIRACLES.’ I could see scriptures written in bold letters. Two that stood out were Mark 16:15-20 and the entire Book of Acts. There were more passages, but I could not see them clearly. “There were many signatures at the end of this document. I knew they were the names of great soul winners and preachers of the Gospel. Jesus then spoke and said, ‘Joe, sign underneath T.L.’s signature and give the document to Dutch.’ Joe signed the document and said, ‘AHHH, YES!’ He was very excited and slid it down the table. Jesus then addressed Dutch and said, ‘Use your ring to make My mark on it.’ As Dutch did this, the pages of the document - which had been very nice paper - became a beautiful cloth-like material. The Second Document “The dream then changed and our attention was turned to the document Gordon Lindsay had given Dutch. The document seemed to be a very old scroll. Underneath the words ‘KINGDOM DECREE - TITLE DEED’ I could see written in bold letters ‘EKKLESIA MANDATE.’ Underneath that was written: ‘HARVEST, SIGNS, WONDERS, MIRACLES’ and ‘REAPING OF WORLDS.’ Under those words were: Isaiah 9:1-7; Isaiah 22:22; Daniel 7:27; and Revelation 11:15. I remember thinking, ‘I know those scriptures!’ On our side of the table, we began whispering to one another, ‘This is it. This is that!’ We all began expressing much excitement. “Just as on the document given to Joe, there were many signatures at the end of the document given to Dutch, signatures of those who throughout history had possessed notable supernatural ministries. There were many names I did not recognize, but also some I did. Jesus then spoke, ‘Dutch, sign underneath Dean’s signature and use your ring to make My mark on the paper.’ Dutch did as requested and the documents began lighting up; they also began breathing as if they were alive. “With a very regal look on His face, Jesus then said, ‘It’s done. The merger and transfer are complete. The bowls are full and are ready to be poured out.’ He then spoke to Charles Spurgeon and said, ‘Charlie, make the decree.’ Charles Spurgeon pushed his chair way back, stood to his feet and began releasing mighty decrees over all of us. The gentleman named Dean stood as well and moved from his seat to where we were sitting. He began pouring oil on our heads and laying his hands on them as Spurgeon made his decrees. When Dean did so, it felt like electric shockwaves were shooting through our bodies. We were charged with power like none of us had ever experienced. When the patriarchs finished, they sat back down. We were all remarkably changed. “Jesus then took the documents into His hands and breathed on them. The documents immediately began to morph, becoming matching capes (mantles). Jesus stood up, placed one on Joe and one on Dutch. He then declared, “The clock has started. Angelic movement has begun. Steward this well.” “Those who had entered the room with Jesus then departed - not leaving through the door; they simply disappeared. “The rest of us remained seated, deeply impacted by what had just taken place. We then began discussing, planning, and prayerfully strategizing about what was to take place next.” End of Dream My Thoughts We are in a high boardroom, there to join a heavenly council. As stated earlier in this post, we represent different streams of the body of Christ. I am wearing a tie which I am very uncomfortable with. This indicates a dissatisfaction with traditions, forms and even religious ways of thinking. These must be discarded in order to receive what is about to be imparted. Those who enter with Jesus from the cloud of witnesses all represent powerful moves of God in the past. Gorden Lindsay would picture signs and wonders, five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) and the revelation of Ekklesia. Kenneth Hagin represents the Word of Faith movement, as well as the great teaching movement of the 70s and 80s. Charles Spurgeon symbolizes great and powerful preaching, and Dean, I believe, was Tim’s and my dad, who also had a strong miracle ministry of signs and wonders. He probably also represents generational synergy. The transfer and merger is fairly obvious. God is now about to release the same type of mantels these individuals operated in: powerful preaching and teaching accompanied by tremendous signs, wonders and miracles. He is also about to merge all of it into a powerful move of His Spirit that causes great increase in the body of Christ and kingdom of God. Powerful mantles and anointings are being released enabling individuals to carry out these supernatural ministries. Jesus tells us unquestionably it is time for this. “The clock has started,” He said. And angels are now acting to bring it forth along with Holy Spirit. Take heart my friends. We are moving into a great season of revival. This will include millions of people coming to Christ, great signs and wonders, and the transformation of many nations. The time for this to occur has arrived. Prepare. A prayer you can pray: Father, we thank You for this encouraging dream. We thank You for what those, who were part of Your great plan in times past, have accomplished. Thank You for the price they paid and the roads they created. We honor them and want to pick up the baton they are now handing us. We also honor our brothers and sisters in other streams of the body of Christ. We acknowledge our great need of one another. We repent for any and all criticism we have leveled at them, asking You to forgive us. Bring us together. Show us our need for the strengths and anointings each carries. And now Lord, allow us to partake of the synergy of the ages. Release once again the mighty anointings of powerful preaching, great faith for the supernatural, signs, wonders and miracles. Please begin a release of these anointings in order that we might reap the incredible harvest You have planned for now. We call them forth in the mighty name of Jesus! We also call forth greater unity! And we call forth the greatest outpouring of Your Spirit earth has ever seen. We do so in the mighty, all powerful name of Jesus, the Head of the Church and Savior of the world. Amen. Decree: We decree the great transfer of Christ’s gifts and merger of His streams will now take place!

Be One Who Lingers When I was a student at Christ For The Nations Institute 40+ years ago, I was diligent to spend quality amounts of time every day with God. My practice was to pray and/or spend time reading Scripture for at least an hour before school began at 8AM. Many days I would also pray another thirty to forty-five minutes after our last class ended at noon. I would then rush to the cafeteria before it closed at 1PM. During these forty-five minutes, I would pray and meditate over what I had learned that day, as well as anything Holy Spirit would bring to my mind. These times of lingering became special to me and I believe they were to the Lord, as well. Spending time with the Lord helped me develop a love for His presence. I was anything but a spiritual giant, only very hungry for God. One definition of linger is “to leave slowly and hesitantly.” If you don’t find yourself leaving God’s presence slowly and hesitantly, there’s a short somewhere in the connection. When you truly connect with Him, it’s like a warm bed on a wintery morning - you don’t want to leave it. Regular visitors to the throne of grace become lingerers, pure and simple. Charles Swindoll shares this story: I vividly remember some time back being caught in the undertow of too many commitments in too few days. It wasn’t long before I was snapping at my wife and our children, choking down my food at mealtimes, and feeling irritated at those unexpected interruptions throughout the day. Before long, things around our home started reflecting the pattern of my hurry-up style. It was becoming unbearable. I distinctly recall after supper one evening the words of our younger daughter, Colleen. She wanted to tell me something important that had happened to her at school that day. She hurriedly began, “Daddy, I wanna tell you somethin’ andIwilltellyoureallyfast.” Suddenly realizing her frustration, I answered, “Honey, you can tell me...and you don’t have to tell me really fast. Say it slowly.” I’ll never forget her answer: “Then listen slowly.” You’ll never find yourself having to say to your heavenly Father, “Then listen slowly.” He has plenty of time for you and loves it when you linger in His presence. In fact, His biggest problem is our limited time with Him, not our lingering. We’re often in such a hurry we actually want Him to listen really fast. But He isn’t our spiritual Santa Claus, wanting us to take our two minutes in His lap, give Him our wish list, and be on our way. He is Abba-Papa. David, the shepherd and psalmist who became king over Israel, was a lingerer; he loved being in God’s presence and he left slowly and hesitantly. David once said, “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple” (Psalm 27:4). Notice the words dwell, behold, and meditate. Those are lingering terms. He also said, “O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house and the place where Your glory dwells” (Psalm 26:8). You don’t make statements like that unless you’ve learned to linger. First, we learn to linger, then He becomes addictive and we love to linger. Listen to David’s language: “I love the habitation of Your house.” I enjoy reading about David and his walk with God. It has been revealing and enriching to observe their relationship (His and God’s) in the Scriptures - the good, the bad, and the ugly. One thing I especially like is that David kept it real, sharing with God his most intimate thoughts. Whether he was joyful, discouraged, lonely, or on top of the world, David talked to the Lord about it. He knew God wanted to be involved in his world, and he wanted to be in God’s. Eventually, a change came in their relationship, a change so subtle that most people never think about it. Many people love God’s presence. Thankfully, the worship movement of the last thirty to forty years has taught many of us the difference between singing and worshipping. And as we have learned to truly worship, we’ve discovered the glorious truth that it attracts His very presence (Psalm 22:3). Through this process, we’ve come to expect and enjoy the presence of the Lord. David understood this and was a passionate lover of God’s presence. As much as he loved the Lord’s presence, however, David was never called “a man after God’s presence.” He had the awe-inspiring honor of being referred to by the Lord as “a man after My heart” (see Acts 13:22, italics mine). There can be a huge difference between pursuing God’s heart and experiencing His presence. It is possible to be in a person’s presence and never make it into their heart. There are plenty of people I’m willing to hang out with, but very few I’ll allow into my heart. That part of me is reserved for the people I’ve spent enough time with to know I can trust their motives and intentions. I need to be confident my heart has value to them. It is breakable; I want it handled with care. God is no different. His heart can be broken. His emotions can be wounded and His hopes dashed. He allows many into His presence but is much more selective with His heart. It’s important that we seek God’s heart. When we find it, hidden inside we will discover our purpose and destiny. His presence is free, but His heart will cost you time and effort. But oh, how worth the effort He is. Pay the price to find His heart, no matter what it costs you! Our Father is not easily offended. He is patient and longsuffering, and His loving-kindness is extremely generous. But still, I can’t help but wonder if He doesn’t get hurt at the way we treat Him - and even push Him away. In America, we have turned our backs to Him, not allowing Him in our schools or public buildings. We lightly value His marriage covenant and redefine His standards of morality, calling bad, good and good, bad. Our moral compass has left true north and our children are looking for what is right and true. It is without a doubt that, as a nation, we have saddened our Maker. However, His devotion and faithfulness are not like ours. He patiently waits for us to repent and ask for forgiveness, to come back into His presence and look for His heart. Papa’s loving arms are always ready to embrace us. Sadly, you may not encounter much competition on this quest for God’s heart. Many love His presence and are willing to sing a few songs once or twice a week to enter it. Few, however, are after His heart. Choose to become one who is. Don’t settle for a cursory look; be a lingerer. Talk to Him slowly, listen to Him slowly, and leave Him slowly. A prayer you can pray: Father, You are worthy of my time, attention, and the affections of my heart. You generously reward those who diligently seek the beauty of Your heart. Forgive us for our impatience when approaching your throne, Lord. Like Joshua at the Tent of Meeting, we want to be those who love to linger in Your presence, leaving slowly and hesitantly, beholding Your beauty and meditating upon Your word. May we learn to linger more and more. We pray for our great nation. Lord, send your mercy to America as you promised. Those of us who know and love You - remind us to always do the right thing, being influencers within our communities and areas where we live. May we stand for You and what You represent - life, love, truth, and compassion. May we bring Your presence and heart with us as we enter our schools, businesses, our workplaces, and colleges. May the times in Your presence cause us to be those filled with Your peace, showing Your mercy and love, no matter the circumstance. Save our great nation, Lord. We believe this is Your plan, and we are confident you are going to do so. In the name of our Lord Jesus, we pray...Amen. Decree: We choose to be those who will linger in Your presence and seek after Your heart. Portions of today’s post were taken from my book The Pleasure of His Company.

A Flag Reborn My 13 years of preparation leading up to the discovery of the Appeal to Heaven flag ended in May of 2013. I was at the graduation ceremony of Christ For the Nations Institute - back at the “synergy of the ages” location, as the director. As the Executive Director of the Institute, it was my responsibility to choose the commencement speaker. I chose one of my spiritual sons, not because he’s a great preacher, but because he isn’t a preacher at all. Will is a military man - a JAG attorney for a branch of our Special Forces. I chose a soldier as our commencement speaker because I wanted our graduates to know they did not have to be a pastor or preacher in order to serve God. At the end of his commencement address, however, Will threw me a bit of a curve. “I believe the Lord has asked me to give a special gift to Papa Dutch,” he said. I wasn’t sure I liked this, not wanting the emphasis to move from the graduates to me. But he had the microphone - I decided to trust him. “Before I give you the gift,” he said, “I need to explain the history behind it. It’s a replica of a flag displayed by George Washington and America’s founding fathers. This flag was actually used before the Stars and Stripes existed. In many ways, it is the banner under which America was born,” he explained. This fact does nothing to dishonor “Old Glory” - I display her proudly and still tear up during the Pledge of Allegiance. Nonetheless, the symbolism of this earlier flag is extremely important. “This banner has the phrase ‘An Appeal To Heaven’ across the top,” he continued, “a phrase our Founders took from the writings of John Locke, an influential English philosopher from the mid-1600s. Locke wrote a series of papers on ‘Natural Laws,’ stating that human rights originated with God, not with government.” Locke made the case that when people have done everything humanly possible to experience those God-given rights and have failed to do so, there remains but one option: And where the body of the people or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven… Will continued, “Lock’s phrase, ‘appeal to heaven,’ connotes that when all resources and the ability to attain justice on earth are exhausted, an appeal to earth’s ultimate Judge is the final recourse. This concept would become a foundational philosophy in American society, used even in the Declaration of Independence.” George Washington and his contemporaries used the Appeal to Heaven phrase in America’s cause for freedom from Britain’s tyranny. Having exhausted all peaceful possibilities of experiencing the liberty they so desired, the colonists realized their only hope for freedom was through war. Yet with Britain’s great military, weaponry, and wealth, contrasted by the colonist’s dire lack of these resources, any military attempt to break free from British rule was preposterous, even laughable. Laughable, that is, unless Almighty God intervened. The stance of the colonists was simple. Their right to freedom came from God; He would help them. “We will appeal to heaven!” they declared. And a flag was born. From the days of the pilgrims, godly men and women have believed the Almighty was involved in the birth of our nation. They also felt that if a nation chose to partner with and honor God, it would experience His favor and blessing in extraordinary ways. Washington and the colonial dreamers agreed. They decided to take it a step farther and find out if the Sovereign was, indeed, birthing “a city [nation] set on a hill that can’t be hidden...a light to the world,” (Matthew 5:14). They no doubt knew of John Winthrop, a leader of the puritan’s Massachusetts Bay Colony, using this verse in his 1630 speech on board the Arbella to describe what he believed God wanted to build in America. They knew of the planting of the cross at Cape Henry in 1607, and of the ensuing prayer meeting dedicating the land to His glory. They had read the Mayflower Compact of 1620, stating the voyage was made “for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith…” Would God honor these events and prayers? Even more importantly, was He inspiring these actions? Was America God’s dream? They believed it was, indeed. The pilgrims absolutely believed America had a God-given destiny, and our founding fathers did, as well. Throughout our history, America’s presidents and leaders have reiterated this belief. John F. Kennedy referenced Matthew 5:14 and Winthrop’s famous speech, as did Ronald Reagan and numerous other U.S. Presidents. Though modern-day revisionists try to rewrite and remove our history, the truth will always trump their lies. General George Washington, leader of the American Revolution, obviously believed in this divine plan. He commissioned several ships for the Revolutionary War efforts and, highlighting their dependence on providential help, each vessel was to fly under the Appeal to Heaven banner, also known as the Pine Tree Flag. The popularity of the flag spread and was soon flying throughout the colonies as well as being adopted as the flag for the Massachusetts state navy. It became the symbol of these colonists’ unwavering spirit of liberty, as well as a clear statement of where they placed their faith. Do you find it interesting, as I do, that America was born under the banner of prayer? And that 230 years later, God would bring that dusty old banner out of hiding in order to serve as a stark reminder to us that our strength alone did not birth us as a nation? We were birthed by the hand of God. And we were born not just for our own blessing and freedom; we were created to represent Christ around the world. In our now spiritually weakened state, America must appeal again. Just as we were no match for the military power controlling us in that day, we are no match for the spiritual powers controlling us now. Only that which birthed us then can rebirth us now: an appeal to heaven. “And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my banner” (Exodus 17:15) A prayer you can pray: Father, it is indeed remarkable the way You raised America up as a voice in the earth. You did so knowing You would need her to be a trumpet of the gospel to the ends of the earth. We have done so, and yet we have not experienced our finest hour in this regard. That is now coming. We also are deeply impacted by knowing we were born under a movement of prayer, that it truly was through appealing to You that our freedom was produced. You did this. And just as You have brought this flag, the Appeal To Heaven flag, out of hiding, we pledge to You that we will appeal once again. And we believe You will once again free us from oppression. You will free us from tyranny, the tyranny of evil forces of darkness that have enslaved us. America shall be saved. And so, Lord, we pray regarding this revival now coming forth. We ask for signs and wonders to abound. We pray for your church, the Ekklesia, to rise to the glorious level You speak of in scripture: a worthy bride for You and an expression of Your authority in the earth. Make us an Ekklesia the gates of hell cannot prevail against. We call this forth in the name of Jesus, and decree it shall be so - it shall not be stopped. We ask and declare this in the name of the Lord himself, Jesus Christ...Amen. Decree: We decree that the appeal will be heard...and will succeed! Portions of today’s post were taken from my book An Appeal to Heaven.

Put Yourself in the Storyline History was never a subject I enjoyed in school. Reading a history book was akin to reading a physics book. “Nothing I’ll ever need or use, so nothing I really care about,” was my thinking. Not that I was a shallow person, you understand. I was simply into more important subjects, such as athletics. Funny how things change. Over time, my small and selfish world of living only for myself was finally expanded to seeing the importance of who and what came before me. However, the power and importance of history went to an entirely new level as God introduced me to the concept of “the synergy of the ages.” Had that not occurred, I would never have fully appreciated the Appeal to Heaven flag. The following dream helped. There’s just something about an ambulance with its lights flashing that generates a strong mix of emotions. But seven of them! Something horrible must be occurring. Fortunately, it was only a dream. The Lord has frequently spoken to Julie Meyer, an internationally known worshipper and seasoned leader, through detailed dreams. In this particular dream, Julie saw seven ambulances lined up, each with lights flashing. Growing very concerned, she walked to the back of one of the ambulances to see what was happening. When she peeked in, Julie saw a non-responsive person laying on a gurney. Next to the patient was an attendant working feverishly to revive him. In her dream, Julie knew immediately this attendant was an angel. He looked at her and said, “I can’t find a heartbeat.” She went from one ambulance to the next finding the same scenario - patients on the gurneys with angels attending them trying to restart their hearts. Suddenly, one of the angels looked directly at Julie and confided, “It’s the intercessors.” This dream made sense to me. For a number of years, I have watched as the strength of the prayer movement has waned, many becoming weary and losing heart. Intercessors have prayed years for revival, but the revival hasn’t materialized, and many of them have experienced what Proverbs 13:12 refers to as “hope deferred.” And as this passage teaches, hope deferred has made their hearts sick. Traveling across America, I can attest to the truthfulness of the dream. It’s hard to find a heartbeat in many tired intercessors. As Julie’s dream continued, suddenly one of the angels shouted, “I found a heartbeat, but it’s very faint!” The other angels grew excited and asked, “What did you do?” They, of course, wanted to do the same thing in order to generate a heartbeat in their own intercessors. The first angel replied, “Tell the old stories. When I started telling her stories of what God did in the past, her heart started to beat.” With that, these heavenly attendants began speaking to the intercessors about the First Great Awakening, The Second Great Awakening, and other outpourings of Holy Spirit - right up through the healing revivals and tent meetings of the 1940’s, fifties, and sixties. As they did so, the hearts of all the intercessors started beating again. At this point in the dream, an angel looked at Julie and directed her, “Tell the old stories of what God has done in the past.” The entire dream was impacting, but this angelic messenger then added instructions that stirred my heart even more: “Tell the intercessors to put themselves in the storyline, because the old stories are also their stories.” What a profound and intriguing thought! Who among us really thinks this way? We should, however. God has one overarching plan for humankind, not many; we’re all part of the same unfolding drama. Our generation’s role in history is simply another act of yesterday’s play; our battles are conflicts of one ongoing war. Every revival in history is but a sequel in Holy Spirit’s ongoing series of outpouring, and every soul saved enters the same spiritual family. Our stories, though many, are one. Put yourself in the storyline, because the old stories actually are your stories! For too long, we Christians - even those who are students of church history - have simply viewed accounts of past moves of God as inspirational. We love those old stories, but we certainly don’t think of them as something we can agree with in prayer, connect to, or draw strength from. And we’ve never thought of them as “our” stories. They are past tense, a dead history. As mentioned in yesterday’s post just as I had never thought of Lindsay’s story as my story, I had never thought of Wesley and his Methodists as my movement. Finney’s awakening certainly wasn’t my awakening, and William Seymour’s Azusa Street outpouring wasn’t mine. Most of us simply haven’t thought this way. Our shortsighted reasoning has stolen from us the synergy of the ages. We’ve not put ourselves in the storyline. And since we don’t typically align with past movements or agree with past prayers, this has all too often led to the segmentation of the ages, forcing each generation’s intercession and effort to stand on its own. Actually, the results can be more devastating than that: God says that when the generations disconnect, it can create a curse (Malachi 4:6). This is one of the reasons satan robs people of their history: because it is more than history; it is a generational connection. On the other hand, putting ourselves into the storyline God is writing allows us to tap into the strength and life of what He did years ago. Iniquities from the past flow to 3 or 4 generations (Exodus 34:7); blessings, however, flow to a thousand generations! (Deuteronomy 7:9). We must understand the eternal purposes of God - not just the purposes we feel are for our present time. As we do, He then can continue through us what He began in someone else. And again, according to Hebrews 11:40, they can watch from heaven as their promise is fulfilled through us. Again, referring to yesterday’s post, this is what the Lord was trying to show me regarding Gordon Lindsay. The student body and I needed to put ourselves into his storyline, becoming a necessary link in the chain. We couldn’t just assume God’s promises to Lindsay would one day be fulfilled - Holy Spirit needed agreement in order to finish what He had started. We had a vital role to play. Reinforced by Julie’s dream, this revelation opened my heart to a myriad of storylines we, as a generation, needed to identify with. We could insert ourselves into the storyline of the pilgrims at Cape Henry, declaring that the gospel of the Kingdom would go from these shores to all the nations of the earth. We could align with Charles Finney, believing that city-changing revivals would be rekindled in our day. We could agree with the prayers of Rees Howells for revivals that would shake nations. We could join the efforts of Martin Luther King, Jr., and see his dream of racial healing in America reach its intended goal. The great cloud of witnesses had finally become more than mere spectators and cheerleaders to me; they were an earlier leg of a relay race, waiting for someone to grab their baton. This truth pierced my conscience. God began the process of connecting my heart and actions with those who had lived before me. My life began expanding, being defined not just by an eighty or ninety-year destiny, but also by an inter-generational purpose. I realized I was part of a historical chain, planned by God and built with human lives. “Back to the future” took on real meaning: Like Elijah’s servant, Elisha, I would have to connect with the past in order to find my future; the power he needed today was hidden in his yesterday (2 Kings 2:14-15). Reaching back would not only bring my life added significance, but also the lives of those who had lived before me (Hebrews 11:39-40). God’s love of relational connection would find fulfillment, causing Him to release an entirely new level of spiritual power - the synergy of the ages. I immediately began processing this revelation in the context of my calling to America. It was obviously relevant to praying for nations. I knew I could connect with America’s story more personally, joining my heart to the prayers and dreams of pilgrims, colonists, pioneers, and every other generation that makes up our story. Whatever the cost, I determined to do my part in keeping the dream alive. Now may the God who gives endurance and who supplies encouragement grant that you be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify and praise and honor the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 15: 5-6) A prayer you can pray: Father, we want to thank You for the privilege of partnering with You in the great endeavor of saving the world. Thank You for the new phase we have moved into, which You have called Operation Redeem All. We believe we are moving into the greatest revival in history. Thank You for exposing the evil in America. We thank You especially for the exposing of unrighteousness in our government. We ask You to shake and expose all of the evil operating in America‘s government. We know this is part of Your plan in bringing revival. We also thank You for ministering to the intercessors in America and around the world. We believe You are breaking weariness and hope deferred off them. We who hear this Give Him 15 post and see the dream you gave Julie choose now to insert ourselves in the great storyline of what You have done in the past. We understand, yet we ask for an even greater revelation of the synergy of the ages. Show us, Lord, our connection to past revivals and moves of Your spirit. Allow us to literally receive anointings and impartations from them. And as we move into this great revival that is being birthed now, we ask You to take the movement of prayer around the world to completely new levels. Increase revelation and understanding. Increase passion. Teach us how to birth things in the spirit so they can manifest in the realm of the natural. May we truly partake of the intercessory nature of Jesus Himself. We ask You for these things in the holy name of Jesus...Amen. Decree: We declare that weariness and hope deferred are being broken off the intercessory prayer movement in America. Portions of today’s post were taken from my book An Appeal to Heaven.

Agreeing With The Cloud of Witnesses My journey regarding the Appeal to Heaven flag began as I spoke to the student body of a Bible institute in 2001. I was concerned that the institute was not walking in the fullness of what its founder, Gordon Lindsay, had established. To be clear, it was not an issue of sin; the school was not in an apostate state. The institute was full of good administrators, faculty, and students who loved Jesus. I simply realized that, just as happens to all of us from time to time, the school was experiencing less than what God intended it to experience and needed a stronger connection to its roots. In response to this burden, I chose to replace one of my teaching sessions with a prayer meeting. As I led the student body in intercession, I heard the Lord whisper a phrase to me, “You need to agree in prayer with Gordon Lindsay.” That startled me; Lindsay had died nearly 30 years earlier. “Lord,” I said, “is that really You speaking? He isn’t here; he’s in heaven.” In retrospect, it’s comical to try and explain something to the Lord, but I felt I needed to state the obvious. “He’s dead, Lord,” I reiterated. The response was simple, “Well, his prayers are not dead.” That really impacted me. If you had asked if I believed Gordon Lindsay’s prayers had died with him, I would have said “no,” yet I had never given the concept any real thought. Holy Spirit continued, “Until this generation comes into agreement with what he asked me to do, I can’t answer his prayer.” This greatly impacted me, as I realized God hadn’t said, “I won’t.” He had clearly said that without this generation’s agreement with Lindsay, “I can’t” answer his prayers and do what I promised him. I began to ponder Hebrews 11, remembering the heroes of faith listed there along with some of their amazing exploits. Interestingly, however, the passage is also clear that some of those faith-heroes did not see the fulfillment of their promises. This has always seemed somewhat contradictory to me. When God searched history to accent greater lives of faith, He chose to list some that did NOT receive the fulfillment of their God-given promises. These people went to the grave with unrealized promises from God, yet they had truly believed, even making it into the great Hall of Faith. Clearly, they weren’t deficient in their walk of faith; why then did they die without seeing the promises fulfilled? The last two verses of Hebrews 11 give us the amazing answer; they did not receive the fulfillment of their promises because God wouldn’t allow them to be “complete” without us. That is incredible! We, today, are a continuation of these individuals’ callings and assignments. The Greek word translated “complete” also means, “to finish; to mature; to reach the intended goal.” Think about the ramifications of this: without us, God can’t finish what He began through those saints; what He started through them cannot mature or reach its intended goal until we grab the baton and run our leg of the race. That is mind-blowing! God gave these individuals promises, but He often didn’t give them timelines. He did not tell them He would bring the fulfillment into their lifetimes, although I’m sure most of them expected Him to do so. The eternal God, who transcends time, speaks promises that are sometimes more reflective of His nature and relationship with time than ours. At times, He makes promises to people, knowing full well He will deliver on those promises through their children, grandchildren, or spiritual descendants. I wonder what I may be finishing for some pastor or teacher from a few decades ago? Or perhaps for even some flag-waving patriot warrior? The generations are far more interconnected than most of us realize. In God’s mind, accomplishing something through our descendants is the same as doing it through us. Our comparatively shortsighted approach assumes every promise He makes will take place momentarily, or at the very least before we die! Meanwhile, God feels no pressure and understands that if He fulfills His promises through our offspring (natural or spiritual), the accomplishments were for us, as well as for them. Conversely, the opposite is also true. The actions and accomplishments of individuals in former generations are sometimes credited to those who follow. Hebrews 7:9 states that the descendants of Levi paid tithes through their great, great grandfather Abraham. I wonder what blessing we’re experiencing today that someone else paid for! There is an aspect of our spiritual walk that stretches beyond the boundaries of our window on earth. We can connect spiritually with past events before, and we can affect future happenings through our actions today. But Holy Spirit wasn’t finished instructing me in this prayer session. He was about to use a seven-word sentence to rock my finite human mind. These seven words stretched my thinking yet again, and have resonated in me ever since: He said to me, “I need the synergy of the ages.” “You need WHAT?” I immediately responded. It is obvious by now that this prayer time was wreaking havoc on my preconceived concepts and paradigms! A 13-year journey was beginning with a series of theological brainteasers that, fortunately, were making me think outside of my God-limiting boxes. What is the synergy of the ages? I quietly wondered. Synergy is a fascinating concept. Basically, it is a multiplication of power or effect through a combined effort. In almost all cases in the physical world, one plus one equals two. But not when people work together. When two or more people combine their efforts and strengths, power is multiplied - not just added. God so loves unity and agreement that He created a phenomenon through which power multiplies if we will simply work together! Synergy, however, not only operates in the natural realm, it also exists in the spirit realm. Prayer is one example. Spiritual synergy takes place when two or more agree in prayer. The result is that through multiplied power much more is accomplished than would have been had we prayed alone. Leviticus 26:8 teaches us about this power of multiplication, “Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before your sword.” Spiritually, that’s powerful; mathematically, however, it makes no sense. Think about it - if five of us can chase a hundred, that means each of us is responsible for twenty. At that rate, a hundred should chase two thousand, not ten thousand. But something unusual and supernatural takes place through agreement: synergy. When we agree in prayer, power grows exponentially. Synergy also occurs when generations connect. Honoring our parents increases our years on earth (Ephesians 6:1-2) while disconnecting from them brings curses (Malachi 4:6). Spiritual mantles, another word for callings and giftings, multiply in effectiveness through generational synergy (2 Kings 2:9). God’s plan is always for the present generation to build on the strengths of the previous. This is the synergy of the ages - multiplied power and fruitfulness through generational agreement and honor. In Al Sander’s book Crisis in Morality! he compares descendants of an atheist, Max Jukes, to the offspring of a well-known preacher of that same era, Jonathan Edwards: Max Jukes...married an ungodly girl and among their descendants were 310 who died as paupers, 150 as criminals, 7 as murders, 100 as drunkards and more than half of the women were prostitutes. Jonathan Edwards...lived at the same time and married a godly girl. An investigation was made of 1,394 known descendants of theirs. Of these descendants, 13 became college presidents, 65 college professors, 3 United States senators, 30 judges, 100 lawyers, 60 physicians, 75 army and navy officers, 100 preachers and missionaries, 60 authors of prominence, one a vice-president of the United States, 80 became public officials...and 295 college graduates, among whom were governors of states and ministers to foreign countries. Could any testimony more powerfully make my point? Success, favor, and blessing can multiply down through the generations. But due to our ignorance in this area, we unknowingly break the generational storyline God is writing. When Holy Spirit spoke to me that day, I was already aware of synergistic prayer. I knew I could agree in prayer with the person next to me and power would be multiplied. I just didn’t know I could agree with the generation behind me! Generational synergy - the synergy of the ages - was nowhere on my radar. Once God had awakened me to the principle, however, He wasn’t about to stop with a Bible institute. Before He was finished, Holy Spirit would challenge me to reach back to our nation’s founders, agreeing with what He had birthed through them. And when He did, a forgotten flag would be an important part of the process. I’ll describe that notable introduction soon. “Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for.” (Hebrews 11:1-2 TPT) A prayer you can pray: Father, as we contemplate the importance of an old flag and how You are using it today, we marvel at Your unusual ways. A part of understanding the flag is understanding how much You honor those who have gone before us. And also how much You require us to connect with and continue their legacy. We thank You for fathers and mothers in the faith, and in the natural. We thank You for the price paid by those who came before us. And as we do so, we turn our attention to America. The great cloud of witnesses includes people who pioneered freedom and liberty for us here. We know they made mistakes and part of our history is evil. But we also know this can be cleansed by the blood of Jesus, and believe much of it has been. And as we now look forward, we ask for revelation of this incredible concept You call “the synergy of the ages.” As we embrace and honor those who have gone before us, we ask for a multiplying of Your power today. Let that translate into the fullness of Your purpose for America: being an incredibly powerful voice of the gospel of the kingdom to the ends of the earth. And we boldly declare that no effort of darkness will stop this. America will fully turn back to You and You will accomplish through her all that You intended in this hour. We pray and declare these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen Decree: We decree that the synergy of the ages is producing powerful and wonderful fruit in America today. Portions of today’s post were taken from my book An Appeal to Heaven.

Let’s Dream a Little What will Operation Redeem All, part of a Third Great Awakening, look like? Let’s dream a little: The presence of God will be incredibly strong in our lives and gatherings. His manifest presence will be so real; this alone will draw people to salvation. Worship will go for hours, even days, as people become lost in His overwhelming presence. Token worship times of 15-20 minutes will not be tolerated in places that are experiencing this outpouring. People will have tasted of Him and nothing else will satisfy. Gimmicks will no longer be needed. Programs will still have their place but will not be the main draw or attraction. Bite-sized messages of 10 to 15 minutes will also not be enough. People will be hungry to learn God’s word and ways. Bible reading and study will be in vogue again. This, alone, will deal with much deception and humanistic thinking in America. People will suddenly care what God says and thinks. A biblical worldview will begin to be desired. The fullness of Christ’s anointings will be manifested: the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, and teaching giftings of Jesus will function at their highest potential levels. This will enable the church to fully manifest Him. Christ will be clearly seen among the nations. Salvations will occur by the millions. The numerical growth of the body of Christ will be explosive. Every stratum of society, every age group, all classes of people, and every race will be part of this harvest. Divisions and prejudices will be overcome by the love of God. Campuses and universities will be on fire with revival. Classes will be interrupted, events will be canceled and students will gather by the thousands to worship. Teachers and professors, too, will be impacted by this. Deliverance will be dramatic. People will be freed from oppression, immorality, gender confusion, hatred, anger, rejection, eating disorders, mental disorders, fear, drugs, and more. Miracles - signs and wonders - will be prevalent, pointing people to Jesus. Extraordinary miracles will take place. Creative miracles will be seen. Incurable diseases will be healed. Crime will diminish. Violence will decrease. Entire gangs will be saved. Drug dealers will be born again. Pornography will decrease. Poverty will lessen. Love will abound. Government officials will be transformed. God will be honored in many government places. Laws will change, life will be honored and our Christian heritage will be celebrated. America will once again celebrate her role of exporting the gospel to all nations. The church will disciple entire nations; Kingdom principles will transform them from poverty to blessing, hunger to provision, and disease to health. Curses will lift. America has not seen a revival the likes of which is coming. Nor have other nations, for this will take place around the world. Do not be so disappointed by the past season that you cannot move into the new. Our faith is not in individuals, political parties, the resources of people, our government, or other institutions. Our faith is in God. Reject any doctrine or theology that doesn’t have Jesus winning. Believe that He can bring this revival - declare it out of your mouth, daily. Add a bullet or two of your own to my list of what revival will look like. Believe He loves people enough to do this! Believe that the greatest campaign of Holy Spirit in the history of the world is now beginning! And choose to be a participant. “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 NASB) A prayer you can pray: Almighty God, we praise You for Your great love and grace. We thank You for Jesus and for Holy Spirit. We know we are moving into Operation Redeem All. We thank You for this. We believe You are working even now to begin this great outpouring of Your incredible Holy Spirit. It is going to be wonderful beyond our wildest dreams. We prepare our hearts for this now. We are excited about it. We long for this amazing level of Your presence. We love to be with You. We love to talk to You, commune with You, dream with You, and partner with You. We thank You for the gifts of Your Spirit and we open our hearts to be used by You in these wonderful ways. We pray for worldwide revival. We ask for a billion or more souls to come to You in this great outpouring. We ask for transformation, healing, deliverance from hunger, disease, and death. Pour out Your life all around the world. And we now decree that this shall be so! Nothing will stop it! We pray and decree these things in the mighty name of Jesus...Amen. Decree: The greatest outpouring of Holy Spirit earth has ever seen is now beginning.

Operation Redeem All Yesterday, we spoke of the exposing and judgment of iniquity in the earth. Today, we will look at the next portion of God’s plan. On January 21, 2021 (the day after Inauguration Day), my friend Greg Hood received the following dream: “Six members of the prayer team Dutch worked with during the election battle were sitting at a high top cedar table, on a deck by a lake. There were six empty seats remaining. On the table was a large map of Washington D.C., rolled out over a map of the United States. “We were discussing the process of the prayer journey we, along with the team, had been on over the last 2½ months. Dutch said, ‘I know we have been obedient to do what we’ve been commanded by the Lord, and I know we’ve been successful.’ “I then pointed out to Dutch that the map on top, the map of Washington D.C., had a large tear down the middle. The tear was jagged, like an old map would look after being torn, though this was not noticeable unless you looked closely. Dutch said, ‘We should fuse this map back together.’ “Suddenly, we realized someone was approaching us from behind. We turned to look and saw William Penn, Billy Graham, F. F. Bosworth, George Washington (dressed in his Continental Army uniform, not his presidential attire), Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus. Each of them took a seat at our table. “Jesus then spoke very calmly and said, ‘George.’ When Jesus spoke his name, George Washington began speaking to us, ‘Good job, the Ekklesia has completed phase one. “Operation Expose All” went well and we have achieved our goal.’ “Again, Jesus spoke very calmly and said, ‘Billy.’ When Jesus called his name, Billy Graham began speaking to us, ‘Guys, now it's time for phase 2 to go into full swing. We are here to activate “Operation Redeem All.”’ Billy Graham went on to say, ‘Ready yourselves and the Ekklesia. Days of great victory are just ahead of you. These great days of victory will be met with much resistance from the darkness. As you release light, however, America will transform and be reestablished right before your very eyes.’ “The conversation continued as Jesus then looked at us and said, ‘I have something for you.’ He then gave us a gift, a gold ring like no other I had ever seen. The gold was so pure it was as if you could see through it. The ring had a key etched in it, along with the words “King of Kings” & “Kinsman Redeemer.” Jesus said, ‘Wear this ring, and all that you put this ring upon will be impacted with the weight of the Kingdom.’ “Jesus then gave us an old wooden gavel that had Revelation 19:11-12 inscribed on it: ‘Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself’ (Revelation 19:11-12). “When Dutch took the old gavel into his hand it became very heavy. The weight of it seemed impossible to handle. Dutch said, ‘This gavel is too heavy, I can’t lift it. How will WE ever use this.’ Jesus then said, ‘You have to talk to it. It knows our dialect.’ When Dutch began to speak in heaven’s language the gavel became light and easy to wield. “Jesus said, ‘Have we reached a place of agreement? Are we all in agreement with the release of “Operation Redeem All?”’ He began calling the name of each one present from the cloud of witnesses; each gave their ‘Yes’ to the assignment. He then looked at the remainder of us sitting around the table - those still living today - and said, ‘What about you six? What is your answer? Your vote is needed to complete this council’s assignment.’ We all answered a resounding ‘YES!’ “Dutch then slammed the old gavel on the table and said, ‘The Council’s assignment has been approved and carried! “Operation Redeem All” has been activated and set in motion.’ “All from the cloud of witnesses smiled, stood up, and left, patting us on the shoulder as they did so. Jesus said to us, ‘I am with you! I believe in you! I am staying with you to watch you finish this.’ He then said, ‘Look at your map.’ When we did so, it was no longer torn. It had been healed so perfectly it looked as if it had never had a tear.” End of Dream This amazing dream is filled with rich symbolism. The connection to our past, both nationally and spiritually, covenant (William Penn), America’s birth (George Washington), the nation divided - pictured by the tear through Washington D.C., the survival of a torn nation (Abraham Lincoln), evangelism (Billy Graham), and signs and wonders (F.F. Bosworth). I encourage you to spend some time thinking and processing the dream yourself. It is rich with meaning. But I want to specifically point out a few things. Holy Spirit refers to phases regarding what He has been doing through our prayers: Operation Expose All and Operation Redeem All. By referring to phase 1 as exposing “all,” Holy Spirit is not saying all of the corruption in America has now been exposed and removed. He is saying all that was needed for Him to accomplish His purpose in the past 2½ months has been accomplished. I also believe this includes what is still being investigated and will yet come into the light. Count on it! Holy Spirit then references a new phase: a phase of redemption. This is an amazing promise. I believe it refers to the redemption we have been asking for - the healing of our land, the restoration of our original purpose and a Third Great Awakening - is next on His agenda. America shall be saved! We must begin to decree this in our prayers. In the dream, Jesus gave us His signet ring, representing weighty kingdom authority; He also gave us his gavel, symbolizing judicial authority to bind and loose, as well as picturing justice. Christ’s Ekklesia is now going to a higher level of functioning in his weighty authority. When a king’s signet ring was stamped on a document, it then became the irrefutable law of the land. Christ is reemphasizing to us our authority to enforce His Kingdom will on earth. And as we hear and declare Heaven’s words, the gavel of the Ancient of Days will fall. The King needs our agreement. He cannot do this without us. In the dream Jesus said we have a vote, and must choose to align ourselves with His will and desires. He has rebirthed the appeal, use it! Be bold in your prayers, strong in faith and steadfast in your efforts. Do not grow weary in doing what you know is right. Don’t allow hope-deferred to stop you from praying for America and the nations of the world. Christ’s agenda will be accomplished and you are an important part. “‘He will come to Zion as a Kinsman-Redeemer to those who repent of their rebellion. Yes, Zion will be redeemed with justice.’ says Yahweh.” (Isaiah 59:20 and 1:27 TPT) A prayer you can pray: Thank you, Father, for what You have done in this nation: Your birthing of a covenant people who will submit to You; Your decision to honor us with the holy calling of trumpeting the good news of Your kingdom to the ends of the earth; and the incredible blessing You have given this nation as we partnered with You. We are very grateful. We thank You for the uncovering of truth You continue to do in our land. We continue to ask You for grace and mercy to all who will receive this from You through repentance and faith. And we thank You for the redeeming phase we are now coming into. We believe this and we cast our vote for it. We join ourselves with the great cloud of witnesses and believe You for the synergy of the ages. We ask for this. We believe the appeal still works. And we boldly release it. We accept our responsibility and will wear Your signet ring. We take Your gavel with holy reverence and sobriety. Give us Your words and we will speak them releasing Your justice on the earth. We know this is Your plan - this partnership with Your Church - and we pledge to You we will honor and fulfill it. We love You very much. We ask and pray these things in the name of Jesus...Amen. Decree: We decree that Operation Redeem All is now officially underway.

A Surprise is Coming In yesterday’s GH15 post (Thursday, 1/28/21) I said, “Like any good fighter, God sometimes allows the enemy to land a blow just to set him up for a knockout punch. I assure you that regarding His strategy for America, God is far ahead of satan. And now that the church is praying, the strategy will be unleashed.” Those who punch God don’t often factor in the law of sowing and reaping. In Genesis 15:16, God tells Abraham it will be 400 years before the promise He made in the 12th chapter materializes, because “the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.” Amazing! Though God knows the Amorite’s cup of iniquity will be full, in His justice He still will not give the land to Abraham until that occurs. Not only are there prayer bowls in heaven, where intercession is stored until the time is right to release its fruit (Revelation 5:8, 8:3-5), but iniquities are also measured and stored by God. God does not render His judgments regarding sin or corruption when He “feels like it” or “finally decides” to do so. He releases them at the absolute right time. He is guided by justice, not emotion, and only He knows when the cup of iniquity is full. Rest assured, however, the Judge of all the earth will always do what’s right. When it seems that the wicked prospers without consequence, it is often that they are being allowed to top off their cup of iniquity. Yes, God has waited for certain evil forces on earth to fill their iniquitous cups. They have done so; He will now move. You will begin to see two things happening simultaneously: the goodness of God will be poured out on multiplied millions of people, and the judgment of much wickedness will take place. Breakthroughs for which we have waited decades will now occur. Some of the judgment will involve governments. I believe the greatest upheaval in the history of the U.S. government will occur, beginning this year and continuing for several more. I am not speaking of war with an invading nation or uprisings from within. I do not espouse any violent overthrow of our government or physical harm to individuals. I’m referring to cleansing in the form of removal from office and positions of power, as God and the American people deal with the iniquitous roots that have tried to strangle our righteous roots. Ambition, lust for power, greed, and a desire to transform America have overtaken our political system. As I have stated before, God initiated the concept of government (He IS government - Isaiah 33:22), but He despises the political spirit. It divides, compromises, oppresses and controls people. In America, enemies of Christ have partnered with spirits of Baal and Jezebel (lust for wealth, power, and perversion), Leviathan (deception and twisting communication), and Witchcraft (mind control), to spin a 3-fold web. Government, education, and media have now trapped our nation in a web of humanism (man is the center, not God), secularism (God removed from all public life), and pluralism (many gods, or ways to God). This unholy trinity is entrenched - its roots are now deep in a generation of brainwashed Americans - and there is no human remedy. These spirits believe they have won. Like the celebrative screeching of the hoards of hell for 3 days after the Cross, they are excited, thinking they’ve killed God and Christianity in America. But an ominous thunder is about to be heard, a terrifying earthquake felt, and the horrifying grating of stone on stone as the entrance to a tomb is rolled back. And celebrative screeches are about to become terrified screams. The King is arising. Another generation is about to experience His omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. Love and justice will be seen simultaneously with love taking the lead. Even God’s judgment of evil can be overcome by His mercy and love when there is repentance. Just ask Nineveh. But to those who repent and those who don’t, God’s all-consuming fire is coming. It will melt hearts and destroy demonic webs. People will be enlightened, freed, delivered, and reborn; others will perish. Governments will change, nations will be transformed. When looking at America’s giants, what many fail to factor in is the coming revival...and “the appeal.” Don’t forget the appeal to Heaven - it has been rediscovered, and it still works. Our prayers will now release heaven’s greatest earthly campaign. And when God’s Spirit is poured out, He can do in a day what human methods can’t in decades. HE - not ideas, innovative thinking, great preaching, and certainly not religion - HE will save us. So, take heart, intercessors. Be encouraged, disheartened Americans. Phase 1 is complete; Phase 2 now begins. We’ll talk about that tomorrow. “May everyone who knows Your mercy keep putting their trust in You, for they can count on You for help no matter what. O Lord, You will never, no never, neglect those who come to You.” (Psalm 9:10 TPT) A prayer you can pray: Father, in both Your justice and Your mercy, You are patient and longsuffering. We thank You for this. As You wait for cups of iniquity to fill, You are always working to bring people to repentance. Your mercy is greater than Your judgment. You are saying bowls have been filled and are about to be poured out - bowls of iniquity and bowls of prayer. We ask for this. Forgive and redeem all who will receive Your love, while You remove iniquitous roots from America and other nations. Like You, we take no pleasure in the judgment of the wicked; yet we know, at times, You must do so. So please release Your fire. Fire to consume sin and fire to cleanse. We place ourselves on your altar of cleansing, also. Fill us with Your Spirit, send a fresh Pentecost. Turn America around. You have promised this and You have begun the process. Now let things intensify. Conquer evil, restore destiny, heal that which is broken, and save millions. Let those who have been negatively impacted by the last 30 to 40 years of humanistic ideologies be delivered in a day. Cause the scales to fall off their eyes and the spirit of revelation to enlighten them. Deliver those in deception and bondage. Awaken this nation to her true heritage, purpose, and destiny. We know this is happening, and we thank You from the depths of our hearts. We pray these things in Christ’s name...Amen. Decree: Lord, the process of Your victorious redemption has begun and Your gracious turnaround is coming.

The Appeal is Working It surprises no one when I say America needs a revival. We are a nation of addicts and lawless rebels. The United States is the single largest market on the earth for illegal drugs and leads the world in the export of pornography. We cannot build prisons fast enough to hold our criminals. We’re rich in goods and poor in character - powerful without, weak and self-destructive within. What about the Church in America, God’s intended salt and light for this condition? Since 2007, Christianity in the United States has decreased by about 8% Church attendance and Bible reading are at decreased levels of involvement. (My note; This means we have actually lost ground.) Six out of 10 Americans believe “Holy Spirit is a symbol of God’s power or presence but is not a living entity. One out of every five professing to be born-again Christians believes the Bible contains errors. Only 44 percent of born-again Christians are certain of the absoluteness of moral truth. Yes, we need a revival! Repentance of sin, turning back to God, and a Third Great Awakening are America’s only hope. Will this occur? YES! In their book Is It Real When It Doesn’t Work? Doug Murren and Bard Shurin recount: Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel awoke one morning to read his own obituary in the newspaper: “Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who died yesterday, devised a way for more people to be killed in a war than ever before, and he died a rich man.” Actually, it was Alfred’s older brother who had died; a newspaper reporter had bungled the epitaph. But the account had a profound effect on Nobel. He decided he wanted to be known for something other than developing the means to kill people efficiently and for amassing a fortune in the process. So he initiated the Nobel Prize, the award for scientists and writers who foster peace. Nobel said, “Every man ought to have the chance to correct his epitaph in midstream and write a new one.” Profound, and worth emulating. God is giving America a chance to re-write her epitaph. If written today, it would read, “Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting,” or perhaps, “The Giants Won.” But our gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abounding in loving-kindness, forgives sinners and heals nations. An army of Calebs has been awakened in America. What many have not yet figured out is that the recent election wasn’t about Donald Trump. It was about a belief system - that and a root system. Millions of Americans have awakened to the fact that their roots are being attacked. This attack has now progressed to a war on their beliefs - they’re being told what they must believe and what they’re allowed to say. They now know this. But the seed of America was planted and her roots sprang up from an Appeal to Heaven. In spite of all the odds, the appeal worked. And we have - and are - appealing again. What this is causing, and also what many don’t yet realize, is that God himself is about to make His move. Our prayers have NOT been in vain, even the prayers surrounding the election and its aftermath. The appeals have moved the struggle for America’s destiny out of our hands and into God’s, motivated by His great love, God is coming with another redeeming wave of revival that will sweep millions into His family. He has been challenged; He shall now respond. A prayer you can pray: Father, thank You for Your great mercy. Even when we are unfaithful, You remain faithful. And in Your great love, You are coming to rescue our nation. You are coming to set many free from their addictions and bondages. You are coming to free millions from deception and the power of darkness. And You are coming to establish Yourself as King and Redeemer. Nothing will stop this. Just as You birthed America for Your sovereign purposes, You are re-birthing us. The Reset has begun. We are returning to You and returning to Your ways. We are also returning to our purpose. Revival is coming to this land and we will experience it in its fullness: coast to coast, north to south, and everywhere in between. It will be sweeping and powerful beyond our wildest dreams. Signs and wonders will be prevalent. Deliverance will be profound. And the reformation of our nation will happen much more quickly than most believe possible. We ask for this, decree it boldly, and believe it is so, in Jesus’ name...Amen. Decree: We decree that what God has begun will NOT be stopped.

A Great Youth Revival Is Imminent We are continuing to look at and pray regarding defeating spiritual giants in our land. Yesterday we looked at what it means to “pioneer Hebron again.” In the 1970s, Don McLean wrote a song about America; it was one of the most popular songs of his day. American Pie was listed by the Recording Industry Association of America as the number 5 song of the 20th century. A notable and favorite line of this oldie is “the day the music died.” McLean was more prophetic than he knew. “The land of the free” has become the land of the bound. America the Beautiful still describes us on the outside. Internally, however, we are ugly, ravaged by societal disease and moral decay. Like Hebron, we have become a stronghold of giants. In their desire to be encouragers, many religious leaders refuse to point out the true condition of America. I get it. No one wants to bring discouragement and, to be sure, a critical spirit and defeatist attitude must be guarded against. But no serious doctor would begin treating a patient without first diagnosing the problem. To blindly declare that everything will be okay simply because God is good and gracious, is beyond naive; it is untrue. An accurate diagnosis is not only sound wisdom, it is compassion. While not blind to America’s condition, I am not discouraged. And in pointing out America’s desperate need, I do not want to discourage you; I want to awaken and motivate you. Like Caleb, I am indignant and ready to take out some spiritual giants. America is in trouble and very sick, but NOT terminal. Let’s take an honest look at our true condition, then hear some hope. God, who was pushed from our hearts by the giants of pride, materialism, humanism, and pleasure, was inevitably also expelled from our schools. Our youth have experienced great devastation from this. Consider these facts: Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in young people. Over 5000 commit suicide every year - more than 13 each day. Child protective services is able to substantiate the claim of sexual assault on a teenager every 8 minutes. That is 180 confirmed assaults every day. And conservative estimates say 2 out of 3 assaults are never reported, making 540/day a more accurate figure. 719 teenage girls undergo abortions every day - roughly 262,500 each year. Roughly 10 million new sexually transmitted diseases and infections occur in teens every year in this country. These diseases, many of them causing sterility and some even death, have become another ploy of satan to wipe out a generation. According to Fox News, the United States is again ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking. “The United States is the No.1 consumer of sex worldwide. According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report, over 300,000 of America’s young population is considered at risk for sexual exploitation. Life has been cheapened. Greed and selfishness rule; sacrifice is out. Authority is mocked while rebellion and violence are extolled by our so-called role models and heroes. “If it feels good, do it” is now more than an overused cliché - it is a terrifying reality. When suggested that allowing God back into our schools might help, smugness and defiant arrogance are often the responses of those who so desperately want Him banned. Satan’s insidious attack on the home has borne fruit. During the twentieth century, the divorce rate rose 700 percent in America. Thirteen million children under the age of 18 are growing up with one or both parents away from home. Seventy percent of all juveniles in state reform institutions come from fatherless homes. We wonder why young people grow disillusioned and dysfunctional. The simple truth is they are the product of our rebellion, reaping what we have shamefully sown. But we will not allow this to continue. We are going to defeat this spiritual giant and see a great revival among the youth of America. We WILL pioneer Hebron again. We will see a generation transformed! A prayer you can pray: Father, I thank You for the revival you’ve shown me is coming to America. Today our focus and prayer are for our young ones. Your passion for them is great. And You are coming to rescue an entire generation. You are going to deliver them from sin, fear, gender confusion, drugs, a death culture, immorality, the wounds of fatherlessness, and deception caused by humanistic ideologies. They will become heroes, world changers, the greatest generation of revivalists and reformers the world has ever seen. Unleash this mighty outpouring of your wonderful Holy Spirit, Father. Let the fire of revival sweep across our nation. We bind the spiritual strongholds - giants, that have bound a generation. We decree that the strongholds are broken and the generation will now go free. We loose the spirit of revival. We declare that schools will be on fire with revival - grade schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities - they will all be visited with the fires of revival. Signs and wonders will take place in their schools, on their campuses, and in their dorms. Nothing can stop this. Even as an unrighteous government and unrighteous educators will try to stop this, and attempt to continue indoctrinating our youth with antichrist ideologies, we declare in Christ’s name that this will fail. This giant will also fall. A sweeping spiritual cleansing is coming to our nation. Many of these individuals who oppose this will become believers in Jesus. Others will lose their places of prominence and authority. We will have a righteous government again. We pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus...Amen. Decree: Nothing will stop the move of God coming to America! Portions of today’s post, including the statistics, were taken from my book Giants Will Fall.

The Greatest Revival In History “I’ve heard a word from God,” Chuck Pierce told me. I was excited. Chuck is a prophet, after all. What pearl of wisdom was he about to share with me? Directions for my future? A profound nugget of revelation? If nothing truly spiritual, perhaps at least something exciting, like who would win the Super Bowl. Don’t laugh - he’s done that before. I was expectant. We were in Israel, the place where Jesus had lived and ministered. Chuck probably tapped into the timing of Christ’s return to earth, or maybe who the anti-Christ is. Who knows what he had picked up from the revelation-filled airwaves of Jerusalem! “I heard Holy Spirit say, ‘I’m going to pioneer Hebron again,’” he stated with a great deal of confidence. I, in return, gave him a mix of “deer in headlights” and “you’ve got to be kidding” looks. “What does that mean?” I asked the prophet. “I don’t know,” Chuck replied. “What do you mean you don’t know? You’re a prophet, for crying out loud,” I reminded him. “Well, I heard Holy Spirit say it, but I don’t know what it means,” he stated. “It’s for you. He’ll tell you what it means.” Prophets can be annoying. I wasn’t completely surprised. Chuck has done this to me before. God will sometimes give him a word or phrase - just enough to entice me. I then, have to dig and discern for myself what it means. It must be a game God and prophets sometimes play with us normal folks. So I locked in on Hebron. The names of people and places in Old Testament times were important, their meanings often holding prophetic significance. Bethel, for example, where Jacob had a profound encounter with God, means “the house of God.” Jerusalem means “the city of peace of wholeness.” Hebron - the place Holy Spirit said He would pioneer again - means “friendship.” It also means “league, confederacy, or federation.” Though the word itself doesn’t refer to a covenant, the concept is certainly there. “Hebron” is a strong alliance born out of a close relationship; covenantal friendship. Because of this meaning, God made it the final resting place of Abraham, the covenantal friend of God. In fact, Adam and Eve, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah were all buried there at Hebron. It is easy to see its significance. With this meaning in mind (friendship), Hebron became symbolic of several things: It is the highest city in Israel; therefore, covenantal friendship with God is the “highest” or the loftiest privilege we are afforded. It is also the thing satan most wants to steal. Hebron was the city where King David first set up his throne. Authority is released as we walk in intimacy and covenantal friendship with God. Later in Israel’s development, Hebron became one of its “Cities of Refuge.” These were cities structured and managed to protect individuals who had accidentally taken a person’s life. The individuals fled to a city of refuge in order to prevent a family member of the slain person from enacting revenge. It was inconvenient, but better than vengeance killings. Later, the New Testament tells us these cities of refuge became types or pictures of Christ, to whom we “have fled for refuge” (Hebrews 6:18, KJV). According to the Talmud, the best lambs for sacrifices came from there. Hebron, then, pictures the salvation, safety, and refuge we find in Christ, the Lamb of God. Satan hates geographical locations that have become meaningful to God and His people. When possible, he seeks to defile them, using perversions, violence, covenant breaking, idolatry, and the shedding of innocent blood. Hebron, as a type of Christ and a picture of covenantal friendship with God, became a prime target, and in the four centuries between Abraham and Joshua, evil giants had overtaken the city. In fact, the greatest of all the Anakim (giants), Arba, made it his stronghold, and renamed Hebron after himself: Kiriath-Arba - meaning “the city of Arba” (see Joshua 14:15). By the time the 12 spies of Israel were sent by Moses to check out the Promised Land, three more giants, direct descendants of Anak from whom the giants were spawned, had inhabited Hebron (see Numbers 12:22, 28, 33). This holy place, representing friendship and covenant with God, was now ruled by giants and was a place of terror. It so terrified ten of the twelve spies, in fact, that they brought back an evil report of fear and unbelief to the rest of the nation. “There is no way we can take our promised land,” they stated. “The giants are simply too big and powerful.” Caleb, one of the 12 spies, was indignant. Seeing that Arba and the other giants had defiled this holy city and desecrated the final resting place of the patriarch Abraham, he was angry. His response was to ask Moses for this very mountain-top city as his inheritance. “WE can conquer these giants and their fortified cities, guys,” Caleb told the fearful Israelites, “and I’ll take the biggest.” Because of the Israelites’ fear and unbelief, however, Caleb had to wait for this opportunity. Forty-five years later, after 40 years of wilderness wanderings by the unbelieving generation and another 5 years of war, it was time. Caleb, now 85 years old, said, “Give me my mountain!” (Joshua 14:12). In asking for this piece of land, this warrior was asking for more than a city; he was requesting the assignment of conquering the greatest stronghold of the giants. The great warrior did indeed conquer Kiriath-Arba and its giants, then renamed it, Hebron. In the words of my prophetic friend, he pioneered Hebron again. In that special place, Caleb enjoyed a covenantal friendship with God. He also paved the way for it to become David’s first capital and a picture of Christ, our Savior, and our Refuge. When Holy Spirit declared through Chuck that He was going to “pioneer Hebron again,” He was making an encouraging and wonderful announcement: “I am going to empower you to confront and take out spiritual giants ruling regions of the earth, transforming these regions into strongholds of life. You are going to transform spiritually dark cities and nations into places where covenantal friendship with God can be experienced and from which the rule and authority of Christ - He who sits on the throne of David - can be seen.” I did my happy dance! The church is moving into a new era. We will soon experience our finest and most productive season of harvesting souls. I believe we, the body of Christ, will see at least a billion souls saved in the next 10-20 years, perhaps more than have been saved in the previous 2000! Portions of the earth that have been ruled by evil, spiritual giants will be liberated. Evil forces have ruled some regions of the planet since Adam’s fall. But there is a holy invasion about to occur, a release of Caleb-hearted, fearless warriors who will thrill at the thought of conquering cities for Christ. We have a distinct role to play in birthing this new era. All that God does on Earth is birthed through His intercessors. The praying Church is about to step into its highest authority and its greatest history-writing role. A Prayer You Can Pray: Father, we thank You for Your word regarding Hebron, that we will conquer spiritual strongholds and giants. You have shown us, through this amazing place, that the key to overcoming giants and moving in high levels of authority is covenantal friendship with You. We rule from there. So, our first request is for higher and higher places of intimacy with You. May we live at Hebron! We thank You for the salvation, refuge, protection, and covenant friendship with You we have found through the Lamb. We also know, however, that our King and Redeemer gives to us His warrior nature; that we, like Caleb, are more than conquerors through Christ. We ask You for higher levels of this nature to operate in us, that we would have a fierce determination to see people free from sin, oppression, and every attack of satan. May we truly be liberators. And we pray for America. We ask for the greatest revival in the history of this nation to burst forth. We pray for the youth, our schools, and universities. Come to them with your power and love. We pray for inner cities and places overrun with poverty and hopelessness. We ask You to be the Hero of these without hope. Save them. And we ask You for revival in the church. Send us your fire. Let the greatest renewal that has ever hit the Body of Christ come to the American church in this hour. And may we see our destiny as a nation restored. We will be Your instruments to take the gospel of Jesus Christ and His kingdom to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name...Amen. Decree: We decree that spiritual giants will be defeated in this hour!
