Preparing for the National Day of Prayer 2020 TOMORROW Tomorrow is one of the most significant days on the U. S. calendar. We still have freedom here to pray, and we certainly will. As a nation, we honor the Lord every first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer. You will want to participate in one of many online prayer events tomorrow, and make sure you humble yourself before the Lord and do so. The official National Day of Prayer information can be found here. Even though we cannot meet together for the most part, you will find many tools to assist you and your family to pray for the nation. Know that millions of other Christians will be joining their prayers to yours tomorrow as well. We will post a portion of the official prayer guide here tomorrow to make it easier for you to pray, but a condensed version of the prayer guide is available here. Additionally, the One Voice Prayer Movement first Tuesday of the month call has been moved to tomorrow at noon. This Movement is led by Pastor Paula White Cain, the pastor to the president, together with Todd Lamphere, Jon Hamill, Dave Kubal, Cindy Jacobs, James Goll, myself, and many others. You can find information here on the Movement, as well as call-in information for the National Day of Prayer event: it will be held at Noon ET. Dial in to 712-775-7430 with no code or 712-775-7431 then enter 2452#, or join the webcast by clicking HERE. Put it on your calendar now. You won’t want to miss this webcast. We need to humble ourselves and pray for this nation like never before. Again, be wise enough to set aside at least a portion of your day tomorrow to seek the Lord while He may be found. America needs Jesus and America needs a move of God. We continue to proclaim, “America shall be saved!” “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.” (Proverbs 3:13-18; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Prepare your hearts to intercede for America in greater passion than in any former National Day of Prayer. Our nation is in great need. Look and find an NDP online event or conference call to participate in or plan for your family to pray together for America. Consider fasting and/or receiving communion together tomorrow as you pray. Seek the Lord for wisdom on how to intercede. Only He knows how we ought to pray in alignment with His plans and purposes. Don’t look to the media for prayer points for tomorrow. Pray for God’s loving hand of healing and protection to be placed on the people of our Nation. Intercede particularly for frontline responders, the poor, and those deeply affected by sickness or financial distress. Remind yourselves of the holy words found in 1 Peter 5:7: “Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you.” Remember the words found in Psalm 91: “He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Declare, Luke 1:37, that promises: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Worship Him and stay in that place of worship all day in anticipation of tomorrow’s National Day of Prayer. A prayer you can pray: “Father, in our times of greatest need, Americans have always turned to prayer to help guide us through trials and periods of uncertainty. As we continue to face the unique challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans are unable to gather in their churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship. But in this time we must not cease asking You for added wisdom, comfort, and strength. We especially pray for those who have suffered harm or who have lost loved ones. We ask You to hear our prayers as we prepare for our National Day of Prayer tomorrow. We pray for Your loving hand of healing and protection to be placed on the people of our Nation. “We pray for the health and well-being of our fellow Americans as we remember that no problem is too big for You to handle.  We remind ourselves of the holy words found in 1 Peter 5:7: ‘Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you.’ With Your help, we will overcome every threat against us. As we come to You in prayer, we remember the words found in Psalm 91: ‘He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.’ “We are reminded that there is no burden too heavy for You to lift or for this country to bear with Your help. Luke 1:37 promises that ‘For with God nothing shall be impossible,’ and those words are just as true today as they have ever been. As one Nation under God, we are greater than the hardships we face, and through prayer and acts of compassion and love, we will rise to this challenge and emerge stronger and more united than ever before. Thank You, Jesus for Your goodness to us, and may You ever bless the United States of America. Amen.” [From President Trump’s Proclamation of a National Day of Prayer, March 14, 2020] Today’s decree: Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. We will humble ourselves and pray.

God is Breathing New Faith Into the Church [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and beginning with posts on 4/28/20, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] TOM HAMON “The prophet Daniel knew the times. He also knew that his voice crying out as an intercessor would cause things to come to pass. We need to know in this year of ‘pey” that we can pray God’s purposes into the earth. At the beginning of the year the Lord told me that this was the year the Church would get God’s perspective. We are moving from rote and routine to moving with God in how things are being released into the earth. Media tells us one thing, but we need to ask what God is saying. I believe the enemy had big plans for this pandemic. He wanted to accomplish an anti-Christ agenda and exert further control over nations. However, like we see in the book of Esther, Haman arose with an assignment to destroy God’s people and stop God’s voice. But, God raised up prophetic voices and gave them prominence in the land for their voices to be heard. He has put their voices in the ears of governmental leaders and I believe, as a result, there has been a Divine reversal. The Church has been restored. Through intercession and declaration, we are rebuilding righteous foundations, walls of justice, and altars of worship in the nation. God has always had His people engage in times of crisis, to release His Spirit of Awakening and Revival, turning hearts back to Himself.” JANE HAMON “Recently, I heard the Lord say, “The invisible enemy (which is what the President has been calling coronavirus) is about to meet the invisible God.” I believe this is the time and season we are going to see something supernaturally shift. It’s not going to be because the Church has followed all the good social distancing requirements. It will be because God is going to supernaturally shift some things. I want to give you a word that will set a course for where we are: “Crisis. Many say that ‘crisis’ in Chinese is the joining of two Chinese characters – one that means ‘danger’ and one that means ‘opportunity’. Actually, the Chinese symbol for ‘crisis’ means ‘danger at a critical junction’. We need to understand that there’s danger at the tipping point and we could tip one way or the other. The Lord said, ‘Don’t doubt in the dark what you heard in the light.’ God has spoken much about hope, promise, dominion, authority, and shifting at the beginning of the year before we were in a crisis. We need to remind ourselves of those things now. “In times of crisis, God begins to shine in miraculous and stupendous ways. One of our friends went on a ventilator for 11 days with COVD-19. Most people who go on a ventilator don’t come off. We were praying for her and the Lord gave us a prophetic Word from Ezekiel 37. He said, ‘Prophesy to the breath.’ Within one hour her numbers turned around and within two days she was off the ventilator. We are in a miracle season where we can hear the Word of the Lord, say it, and we will see things shift!” “Also He said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, “Thus says the Lord God: ‘Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.’”’ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.” (Ezekiel 37:9-10; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Faith is contagious. Ask the Lord to increase your faith. The Lord is asking us to contend for the Church to rise up in faith. The Church was increasing in numbers around the world (in Korea, China, Iran, and other nations) when this hit and now it is “shut down”. Intercede for the global Church to come together in agreement over what God is doing. Decree the Word against this “dragon” that is diametrically opposed to what God is doing in the earth. Contend for the rebuilding of righteous foundations, walls of justice, and altars of worship in this nation. A prayer you can pray: Lord, You said You are bringing us out of survival and into revival. We stir ourselves up in our most holy faith and we stir others up, as well. We choose to believe the Word of the Lord. You are bringing the Church back to life, consciousness, vitality, and strength, and into a flourishing condition. You are activating our faith, so we can grow and become overcomers in the earth! We say, “The anti-Christ agenda will advance no further in this season!” We pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. Encourage them and revive them, Lord. Even though we have been in a terrible season where we have felt squeezed, there is a Divine explosion of spiritual activity coming. The enemy has been trying to shut the Church down wherever they were expanding Your kingdom, but we take up our positions against that dragon and we say, “Kingdom of God, come! Will of God on earth, be done!” That’s all You need to act, Jesus. Do this in America and in the nations of the earth. Give Your Church what we need to rebuild the righteous foundations, the walls of justice, and the altars of worship. Today’s decree: We prophesy breath to the Church and she will rise up, an exceedingly great army! Learn more about Tom and Jane Hamon here.

God is Realigning Nations and Resetting the Economy [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and beginning with posts on 4/28/20, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] REBECCA GREENWOOD “The Lord started speaking the word, ‘reset’ to me toward the end of last year. The Lord saying ‘reset’ was about Him bringing us into a place where He is wanting to reset everything we are doing. He’s resetting things in the church and in our families, but He’s even resetting the aligning of nations. We are going to see God resetting some things in this season between Passover and Pentecost, as well as coming up to the national elections this Fall. “When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they thought they were free. They started out going in one direction, but the Lord redirected them and they ended up at the Red Sea in what looked like an impossible situation. God had hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he was coming after them. He was coming to enslave them again. He was coming because they had plundered Egypt’s goods. So, he was coming to try to restore Egypt’s economy. The Word tells us that the Angel of the Lord came and stood between Israel and Egypt’s army. The cloud stopped between them, as well, so that it was dark on the side of the Egyptians and the light shone on the Israelites, so they would be able to see to pass through the Red Sea when it parted. It was all a setup by the Lord to deal an exacting blow to the Egyptian structure that wanted to recapture the Israelites and their economy. He was resetting the Israelite nation for a new future. “The Lord has given me a Word that we are going to see a lot of activity in the nations between Passover and Pentecost about economies. A Divine reset is going to happen. I believe we are going to see some countries, one in particular, rise up. Where their government might try to to take over the economies of other countries, it will be stopped by the intercession of the Saints. We will pray for every plan to be exposed. This action will cause a realigning of nations. There will be a global economic reset.” “‘I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace.’” (Haggai 2:7-9; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Let your worship rise up and fill the atmosphere where you are, so that You can hear the One that will lead and guide Your intercession. Decree, “The more we worship, the more we fill the atmosphere. The worshipping Bride will cause the dragon structures that are controlling communication and the economy to begin to break and be exposed.” Believe the prophets that this is not the time for the one-world government to arise, though we must be watchful as we are moving that direction. Ask the Lord to teach you to war in the Spirit. Tell Him you want to be a “forerunner intercessor”, not an “after-the-fact intercessor”. Read Daniel 9 and Amos 5. Identificationally repent on behalf of the sins of this nation. Declare to the enemy, “We come in the Name of Jesus Christ to undo, thwart, and stop all of your evil plans within the realm of authority the Lord has given us. You shall not devour the economies of the world!” A prayer you can pray (by, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs and James Goll): Lord, we worship You. Let the Lion of the Tribe of Judah arise and the dragon begin to be exposed. We decree, “The more we worship, the more we fill the atmosphere. We cause the dragon structures that are controlling communication and the economy to begin to break and be exposed.” We know that Satan wants to control the world’s economies. Your Word tells us that someday there will be a one-world government. But, it is not that time yet. We can see that we are moving into that time. So, Lord, show us how to war. So often, we in the Church are “after-the-fact intercessors”. We have got to make the shift to become “forerunner intercessors”. Help us to get in Your Presence, get a hold of what we need to intercede about beforehand, then enter into the example we have in the books of Daniel and Amos in the Bible. Those examples show us we need to begin in identificational repentance and confession of sin. Then, having met the condition of purifying our hearts, we can block, thwart, shorten, or even stop the enemy’s plans. So, we stand together in a unified revelation that the dragon is not to win in this hour. Together, we bind the forces of the spirit of the dragon and we say, “You shall not devour the economies of the world!” Lord, we believe the prophets who are telling us that what is happening now is to reset, recalibrate, and ultimately restore, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: God is realigning nations and resetting the economy for His future plans. Learn more about Rebecca Greenwood here.

Into the New Era in the Ark of God’s Presence [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and beginning with posts on 4/28/20, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] JAMES GOLL “Around six weeks ago, I had a dream. I was handed a scroll and when I unrolled it, I found it to be a set of blueprints to build an ark. There were seven others with me in the dream and we began to build the ark. I then discover that word is getting out that there is an ark of God’s Presence being built. So people started coming to where we were building. Then, the blueprints started multiplying, so they could be given to scores, hundreds, then thousands of people. Many then were building arks of His Presence. “I woke up out of the dream and on my heart was imprinted a Word. It was, ‘As it was in the days of Noah.’ So, I have been left to ponder that particular issue since then. I discovered that I had negativity, even judgement of others, and fear that I did not know I had. I have now identified it as an ungodly belief—as in the days of Noah. I repented. “I kept pondering, ‘As it was in the days of Noah.’ The Lord revealed that the literal ark was built for protection. It was for provision. It was for preservation. It was for Presence, as represented by the dove. Finally, the ark was for the new promise. The ark did not go into a new day or a new year or a new decade. It went into a new era of history. The storm brought the ark and the people in it into this new era. “The occupants in the ark were not in there for 40 days. They were in there close to a year. All they could do was sit in there. There wasn’t a lot to do. There was nowhere for them to go. They sat there in a place filled with His Presence. Also, God made provision for them in the storm. Have you ever thought about what they ate or how they got along in there with all those animals? God gave protection and preservation from the storm. Then, the Presence of God was released from the ark into the world in the form of the dove. The ark was designed to carry the people from one era into the next. “The first thing Noah did on land was to build an altar. The Bible says that the smoke from the sacrifice arose into the nostrils of God and it pleased Him. Then, God proclaimed a promise to the people. He set a rainbow in the sky as a perpetual reminder of remembrance. ‘As it was in the days of Noah.’” “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.” (Luke 17:26; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer (by, James Goll): Contemplate His Presence. Moses turned aside, will you? Hear the Lord say, “I have been waiting for My people to slow down and seek Me, because I have much to say about new beginnings; about a new era.” Identify ungodly belief systems in your heart and repent. Prepare to “come out of the ark.” Noah came out and built an altar. We must come out and build a public altar of worship and prayer. How will you come out? Plan to come out properly. Those who don’t know Christ will be in a different place altogether. War against panic and fear in the populace. They will fear disease and death, as well as economic collapse. Decree that there will not be a global economic collapse! Say, “We will go into a reset for recalibration to recover and bring restoration!” A prayer you can pray: Father, You are doing a new thing in the earth. We desire to be a part of it. We will turn aside to wait on You and see what You are doing. Speak to us, Lord. Speak to Your children in this hour and let us participate with You in Your plans. We hear You saying, “I have been waiting for My people to slow down and seek Me, because I have much to say about new beginnings; about a new era.” We want to know these things. We want to intercede until we see them manifest in the earth. The enemy has locked us up for a season with a virus. However, we can see that You have put us in a quarantine place so we can sit for a while and recalibrate our hearts to Your heartbeat. Deal with any ungodly strongholds in our hearts and minds. Remove fear, doubt and unbelief, and judgementalism, especially racism. Remove false ideologies about denominations other than our own. Fill our hearts with Your love and our eyes with Your view. Lord, when we come out of this place, we must be different. We have to be ready for the harvest. We must have clean hands and pure hearts, not lifting them up to idols, and having no deceit in us. If we let You do this work in us, we will look strikingly different from the world who will be fearful, even panicked of sickness and death and financial loss. We will be ready to provide Jesus as their answer. They can know Him and receive peace for their weary, fearful souls. We say, “This is the era of reset for recalibration to recover and bring restoration!” We declare this in Jesus’ mighty Name, amen. Today’s decree: Let the Church ride through this storm in the ark of God’s Presence into the new era! Learn more about James Goll here.

Thresh Our Hearts, Lord! [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and beginning with posts on 4/28/20, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] WILL FORD, III “I delivered a message early this year to a church I was speaking at, entitled, ‘The Threshing Floor’. I told them their church was going to go through a threshing season, but also the nations of the earth were about to be on the threshing floor. Well, that Word surprised me, so I went to the Word myself to see what the Lord said about threshing floors. “I found the passage where David went to a threshing floor. It was the year in which he took a census. This year is a census year in America. I am not saying that the taking of our census is responsible in any way for this plague. Rather, the Lord had me look at how David caused the release of a plague over his nation because he was looking to see what kind of a following he had. God told me to look at that area of my life and if there was anything in me looking for the kind of following I have. “David was sent by the Lord to this threshing floor to build an altar there and respond as a priest. He would have had a censor with him in order to burn incense before the altar At that place, the plague was stayed. The Lord told me he went from the census to the censor. He said to me personally, ‘It’s time for you to shift from the census to the censor. You’ve been taking a census of how many people re-post your stuff on social media, of how many re-tweets, of how many “likes” you get.’ “God began to deal with me about not following the cloud, but going after the crowd. He shifted me. He said, ‘It’s time for you to get back to building the ministry from prayer, fasting, and intimacy with Me. You can be on social media, but you can’t be of it, because of what is coming.’ “Many of us are there. Our churches are getting threshed down from 1000s to 10s. Where that is happening, God is saying, ‘It’s time to go from the census to the censor.’ Look, we’re going to have stadium events. But, it’s not about large crowds. It’s not about chasing numbers. It’s about going after the One. It’s about going after the One personally. It’s about going after the One in our churches. It’s about going after the One in our communities. It’s about going after the One. We need to re-calibrate our hearts toward Him. If you’re counting numbers now, you won’t be able to be used when the real numbers start coming in—the massive harvest of souls. It’s coming to those that will leave the 99 and go after the One, not to those who will leave the One and go after the 99.” “David said to him, ‘Let me have the site of your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped. Sell it to me at the full price.’” (1 Chronicles 21:22; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Read Matthew 14:24-43. Call for the harvesting angels to be loosed and the great harvest of souls to begin! Repent of anything in your heart that desires to be seen and known by men. Get it all out of you, so you will never mistake leading people to Jesus. We are to make Him known. Worship Him! Glorify the Name of Jesus. Let His Presence full your heart. Get ready to let that love flow out of you to those who don’t yet know Him. A prayer you can pray: Lord, we loose the spirit of harvest in Jesus’ Name! We loose the combines and the harvesters with sickles, large and small. We look for stadiums filled with people. We believe it is the time for mass harvest. Lord, recalibrate our hearts. Line them up with Your plumbline so we do not labor to bring souls to ourselves, but to You. We repent of those things in our hearts that cause us to want men to follow us instead of Jesus. We repent of those things in our hearts that cause us to want to feel important. We repent of the way we have used social media to make ourselves known instead of glorifying Jesus! People are looking for answers and they are not found in us. They are found in Jesus! We must promote the Son! Lord, we cry out for the angels to be released to thrust their harvesting instruments into the earth. We release callings of evangelism! We release men and women into the harvest fields of the earth! We say miracles will flow. Miracles will happen and people will be drawn to Jesus. The hardest hearts will be melted. Those we consider the greatest sinners will be forgiven. The most debilitating illnessses will be healed. All of this will be bursting forth, because it is harvest time! Let our hearts be cleansed and the harvest come forth in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Today’s decree: The Church of America must repent of looking for a following and go after the One!

Watch Carefully! The Enemy is Trying to Alter Times and Laws CHUCK PIERCE “I think the coronavirus situation is going to start lifting now just as Will Ford’s son saw it. (See the GH15 post for 4/30/20). I think it started lifting April 30th and will start creating a lot of conflict for 30 days. I believe we will then have a reprieve for a couple of months, but then there’s going to be another push because of the key elections ahead in major nations. “We are going to have to start watching very carefully in August, September, and October. There will be strategies to distract, to disintegrate, and to divide us. I do think we are pulling out of this phase, but I don’t want us to get off our watch, because the battle isn’t over yet.” CINDY JACOBS “I agree. There are skirmishes we are fighting, but we haven’t won the war, yet. The book of Daniel tells us that the enemy wants to wear out the saints and alter times and laws. There are hinges of history being formed right now. The Lord showed me a hinge of history in China right now. They could become very militaristic, as happened with Japan and Germany in the past. We don’t want that to happen. We love China and the Chinese people. We want to pray and make sure that the will of God is done.” “He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.” (Daniel 7:25; WEB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Today we will war with the Word of God. Declare 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NASB), “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” Proclaim Ephesians 6:11-17 (NKJV), “ We put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, we take up the whole armor of God, that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. We stand therefore, having girded our waists with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, we take up the shield of faith with which we will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And we put on the helmet of salvation, and take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” Call for the watchmen to get on their shifts as in Isaiah 21:6-8 (ESV), “For thus the Lord said to me: ‘Go, set a watchman; let him announce what he sees. When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently.’ Then he who saw cried out: ‘Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.’” Declare that Satan’s plans must bow to the plans of God for this season as we see in Daniel 7:25 (WEB). Be aware of and do not get under his tactics! Say, “Satan shall NOT!” “He shall (NOT) speak words against the Most High, and shall (NOT) wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall (NOT)… change the times and the law; … [it in NOT time!]” Declare 2 Timothy 2:4 (NET), “God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” A prayer you can pray: Lord, today we will war with the Word of God. We declare 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NASB), “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” We proclaim Ephesians 6:11-17 (NKJV), “ We put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, we take up the whole armor of God, that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. We stand therefore, having girded our waists with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, we take up the shield of faith with which we will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And we put on the helmet of salvation, and take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” We call for the watchmen to get on their shifts as in Isaiah 21:6-8 (ESV), “For thus says the Lord: ‘Go, set a watchman; let him announce what he sees. When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently.’ Then he who saw will cry out: ‘Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.’” The watchmen will warn us, so we can pray with accuracy and timeliness. We declare that Satan’s plans must bow to the plans of God for this season as we see in Daniel 7:25 (WEB). We make ourselves aware of his tactics so that we do not fold under them! We say, “Satan shall NOT!” “He shall (NOT) speak words against the Most High, and shall (NOT) wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall (NOT)… change the times and the law; … [it in NOT time!]” And, we call for the great harvest of souls to be released as we declare 2 Timothy 2:4 (NET), “God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Jesus, we look for the answers to Your heart’s cry as expressed in Your very own words! Amen. Today’s decree: The Church must remain on the wall and watch! Do not let things go back to normal. Learn more about Chuck Pierce here. Learn more about Cindy Jacobs here.

Children Are Dreaming (and the Significance of April 30th) [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and beginning with posts on 4/28/20, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] WILL FORD, III Recently, out of the blue, my 7-year-old son, Benjamin, says, “Momma, this coronavirus thing is going to end on April 30th.” When we asked him why, He told us he had this dream: “I saw this huge green plant which had a crown on its head, and it was squeezing the earth. The more it squeezed the earth, the more hands or tentacles it grew. Out of nowhere, a Lion that had the body of a Lamb appeared, and it destroyed the plant and ripped it to pieces. Then a date appeared in my dream: This will end on April 30th. And the dream ended.” My son had this dream three nights in a row. While in prayer one night, my son realized in each dream that the crowned green plant, which he understood to be the coronavirus, though it was huge, became smaller in dreams two and three. For the next three nights, he continued to have a new set of dreams regarding the coronavirus and April 30th. Of this fourth dream, my son said: “I heard: ‘Pray, pray, pray!’ and clouds broke apart, and I saw the green plant with the crown, but it was much smaller. It was trying to squeeze the earth but couldn’t because its hands and arms wouldn’t grow. Then the Lion/Lamb destroyed it again and ripped it to pieces as in the other dreams. And again, I saw at the end of the dream, ‘This will end April 30th.'” On the seventh night, he said, “When the Lion/Lamb appears, instead of ripping the crowned green plant to shreds as it did in the other dreams, He threw it into a pit. Then I looked at the clouds and I saw ‘April 30th.’” “Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.” (Isaiah 8:18; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer (by, Will Ford, III): Call forth the dreaming children! Listen to the chatter of your children and grandchildren, their dreams and visions, as well as their insight. Let them know they are believed. Ask the Lord for interpretations. Declare Isaiah 8:18 over your family! Intercede for the strengthening of families during this quarantine season. Pray for those that have relationship dynamics that are stressful, including addictions and violence. Believe these dreams reveal the beginning of the end of the coronavirus and that April 30th is a significant date that starts the end of quarantines and the ending of the virus. Seven biblically is connected with completion. Whether it’s a seven week or month time frame, I’m not sure, but I am sure that seven represents completion, and that the beginning of the end starts April 30th. A prayer you can pray (by, Will Ford, III): “Oh God, we agree with the prayers of our children; have mercy on us and destroy this coronavirus! For children who have suffered loss, please comfort them. Take our children into a deeper place of intimacy with You. Thank You for strengthening our families in the midst of this crisis. Thank You for doctors and first responders and we ask that You continue to give them guidance and wisdom. “We pray that as quarantines end, the coronavirus becomes weaker, losing its ability to spread, and one day will end. And in the meantime, teach us all to become like little children in the place of prayer. Surely, we, and the children You have given us, are for signs and wonders (Is. 8:18). In Jesus name, amen.” Today’s decree: God will use the faith and prayers of our children to undo the coronavirus. Learn more about Will Ford, III, here.

Interceding Into the Shaking [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and beginning with posts on 4/28/20, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] RICK RIDINGS, SUCCAT HALLEL, JERUSALEM “In July, I was in Hong King at an event with about 10,000 mainland Chinese. Demonstrations had begun in Hong Kong. I felt the Lord prompt me to proclaim the vision I had about the threshing basket. He told me to declare, “When it looks like the demonstrations are going to spin out of control, and it looks like there will be a military invasion of Hong Kong, trust Me. I will bring it back down. But, there will be another shaking. China will be severely shaken in the coming days. “As I was leaving Hong Kong, demonstrators took over the airport. It was a severe time and it did look like things were going to get out of control. God raised up His prophetic people with a Word to shift the situation. They physically went into the street between the police and the demonstrators. They began to worship the Lord. As they worshipped, the whole thing calmed down. It was a very dangerous situation and many of them could have been killed. But, they were God’s answer in that moment and the threat dissipated. “A few months later, the shakings in China began with the coronavirus. I am in contact with a close friend who is a pastor in Wuhan. She said that through the deep shaking they just went through, she held onto that Word. She said things looked like they would go completely out of control. They were surrounded by so much death. However, they declared, ‘Lord, the enemy cannot do anything beyond what You allow. You will bring these shakings back down.’ Through it all, God did a lot of sifting and threshing in their personal lives and in the Church. She reports that they are in a very different place now of total dependence on the Lord. They said they feel the Lord has restored to them a ‘first love’ for Him again. “I believe that God wants us to know things ahead of time. He wants us to know that He is the One that shakes out everything that can be shaken, so that only what cannot be shaken will remain. Many prophetic voices have felt like things would shake, but would start settling down after Passover. I believe the Lord is showing us that we need to use the ‘calm periods’ between the shakings to advance the Gospel and bring in the harvest. I don’t think the shakings are over. The shakings are preparing the harvest. The shakings begin at an individual level, then the nations shake. The evil systems of the world need to be ‘shattered’ by the prayers of the saints, so the systems don’t strengthen in the shaking, rising up to steal the harvest.” “Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, you shall shatter them like earthenware.’” (Psalm 2:8-9; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Focus your attention on the Prince of Peace. Just sit there a minute and gaze at His beauty. Contemplate Psalm 2: 8-9. The Lord has given us scepters of iron, and the world’s systems are vessels of clay. Declare, “God is giving us authority to wield that iron scepter, to break evil structures. It is not time for them to arise!” Rise up, Ekklesia, and receive direction in how to pray to break the systems of evil in the earth. Say, “Instead of total collapse, we will see fruit and blessing in the harvest coming in.” A prayer you can pray: Lord, You are truly seated on Your throne. You sit in incomprehensible majesty. You are unperturbed in Your countenance. You are beautiful in Your Glory. All who surround You proclaim, “Holy, holy, holy!” You are the One who was, Who is, and Who is to come. You hold all things in Your hand and You know the end from the beginning. Lord, we thank You for Your eternal Word. In it, we find words of life. It brings peace, comfort, encouragement, and life to those of us who know You. In Psalm 2:8-9, You say, ““Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, you shall shatter them like earthenware.’” Therefore, we have no need to be afraid. This is the promise You gave Jesus, which is also given to the Church, His Bride. We join our faith and intercession to this section of scripture.We declare, “God is giving us authority to wield that iron scepter, to break evil structures. It is not time for them to arise!” We expect the systems of the earth to be broken, so that Your mercy can wake up the lost, save, heal, restore and restructure. We call for the Ekklesia to rise up and war in the Spirit with Your Word. We say together, “Instead of total collapse, we will see fruit and blessing in the harvest coming in.” We praise You, Jesus, in advance of the victories we fully expect. Amen. Today’s decree: The shakings in the earth are releasing the great harvest of souls. Learn more about Rick Ridings here.

The Threshing Floor [On April 23rd, I participated in the Prophetic Dateline Event hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Other prophetic friends were on, as well, and I wanted to give you a sense over the next few days of what the Lord is saying through these voices.] RICK RIDINGS, SUCCAT HALLEL, JERUSALEM “In October 2016, the Lord gave me a series of visions that I feel describe the season that began last summer. In those visions, I saw the Lord take a threshing basket filled with wheat. He threw the wheat in the air and the chaff was blown away while the good wheat used to make bread fell back into the basket. “The Lord began in Jerusalem. He put the Temple Mount and the Western Wall in the basket and threw them in the basket. Immediately after that, there was an actual situation at the Temple Mount that could have exploded into a full-scale middle eastern war. The Lord showed me that it was not His time to allow that. He showed me that just as it was about to go out of control, He took control (throwing it up in the air), the chaff blew away and everything fell back into the basket and calmed down. “Then, He threw the basket up two more times. This indicated there would be a series of shakings. He said that the shakings would go out to the nations and they would be severely shaken. He told me, ‘Each time things look like they will go out of control, those with eyes to see will see that I am in control and I will bring that shaking down. It will end up looking different than what was expected.’ “Out of the shakings will come water in the driest places, polarization of light and darkness, and separation of truth and lies in the nations. The final thing He showed me is that there will be a great harvest coming from this season of shakings. This harvest will be a global harvest.” “Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them, and you shall make the hills like chaff; you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the tempest shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in the Lord; in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.” (Isaiah 41:15-16; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Read Joel 2:12-32. Intercede as the Lord leads while you are reading through it. Seasons of shaking and threshing are accompanied with repentance. Make sure your heart and life are right with the Lord. Invite the threshing process of the Lord into your life and into this nation. Don’t be afraid. All that is His will remain. Rejoice that the shaking season will end with great increase! Rejoice that harvest is right at hand! A prayer you can pray: Lord You say, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me all your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, mourning. Let your remorse tear at your hearts and not your garments.” So, Lord, we repent. Come and examine us. Examine us as individuals, as Your Church, and as a nation. Forgive us, so we may return to You, for You are gracious and merciful. You are full of kindness. You don’t really want to punish us, but we trust You to separate sin from righteousness, light from darkness, and truth from lies. Will You decide to bless us, instead of letting us remain under this terrible curse? Will you bless us, so we can give back to You our lives and the fruit of our hands? We will pray, “Spare your people, O our God; don’t let the heathen rule us, for we belong to you. Don’t let us be disgraced by the taunts of the heathen who say, ‘Where is this God of theirs? How weak and helpless he must be!’” Let them say instead, “The Lord has done a mighty miracle for you.’” Therefore, we will not be afraid, for You are doing amazing things in the earth. We will rejoice in the Lord our God! For You send forgiveness. The threshing floors will pile high again with wheat, and the presses overflow with olive oil and wine. We will praise You, Lord, who does these miracles for us. We will know that You alone are God. You will pour out Your Spirit upon all of us! Our sons and daughters will prophesy; our old men will dream dreams, and our young men see visions. Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved! (Excerpted from Joel 2, TLB.) Today’s decree: The Lord is threshing the earth, dividing and cleansing, and salvation has come! Learn more about Rick Ridings here.

Is America Experiencing the Judgement of God? [We are repeating this entry from September 6, 2017, adjusted for COVIS-19, as it is so pertinent for today.] Some Christians believe the storms and fires happening in America are God’s judgement on our nation. We are certainly an imperfect nation and we probably deserve judgement. So, let’s look at what the Word says. God judges sin. However, God’s plan is always to bring men to repentance and salvation – not to destroy. Only modern-day Pharisees want to see the lost or a nation, en masse, crushed under consequences of their sin! God’s plan of salvation through Jesus Christ was that His kindness would lead men to repentance. Jesus Christ came to seek and save the lost and to deliver us from all the works of the evil one. He is more merciful and long-suffering than we can imagine. We live in a fallen world and the earth is groaning at the weight of it. God is our Savior in the midst of the fire and the storm. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:17; ESV) “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!” (Lamentations 3:22-23; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Worship the Lord for His goodness, His mercy, His love, His long-suffering, and His grace! Repent if you see a pharisaical nature in yourself. Be honest with God about this. He already knows. Thank Him for sending Jesus. Thank Jesus that He came. Thank the Holy Spirit that He draws us to the Father with outpourings of His love. Let the knowledge that there is a future judgement coming light a fire under you to seek out the lost and lead them to Jesus. Rebuke COVID-19! The Ekklesia has authority over the wind and the rain – and viruses. A prayer you can pray: Oh God, I worship You! You who are wonderful, good, gracious and loving. You have patience with sinners and sinful nations. It is incomprehensible to me. Forgive me when I would condemn, but You are still patiently working to draw everyone possible to Your plan of eternal life in Your Son. Pour out Your love through me. Let me be a light and a place people know they can go to for truth and to find life in Christ. Grant me a measure of Your love and patient endurance, Jesus. In the meantime, I rebuke you, COVID-19! You may not steal precious lives from those God loves! Lord, mercifully stop this virus and all of the effects of it that would steal lives and property. God, heal and restore. May the Church shine in this hour, love in this season, and cast the devil’s work out of our nation. Amen. Today’s decree: God sent His Son to seek and save the lost. The Ekklesia will partner with the Lord to undo all the works of the evil one, so that Jesus’ love might be fully revealed.

Possessing His Promises in the New Era [Beginning on 4/21, I asked my brother, Tim Sheets, to share some thoughts with us over the next few days, so we can pray with spiritual insight. We are going to talk about what God has to say to the Church and this nation right now.] TIM SHEETS: I have started to talk back to the television. I hear those in the media and other experts in this situation around the world telling me that I have to accept this situation as the “new normal”. No! I’m not going to accept this as my new normal. This is not normal. It’s abnormal, and I’m accepting that. I’m not the only one. So many of God’s people are hearing those words and canceling them over their cities and states. They are declaring, “No! God says this…” We’re seeing things totally differently than what the world’s presenting. I’m seeing revival in hearts. What’s propelling this is that technology is staggering. Media has been using it to speak to the whole world at once. Anyone can now do this to get their message out. We Christians can now give a Word and the whole world can hear it. It doesn’t take months or years for strategies to get out there, as it did in the early Church. They had to write letters and hope they got to their destinations. We can get the Word out in a few hours. The speed now is incredible. The day after Passover, I was praying in my office and immediately I was in the Spirit. I began to see Christ and the breakthrough angels that accompany Him. I have seen them a number of times before. They carry these big mallets and they strike the earth with them. When they strike the earth, the earth shakes and they make a decree. They say, “Break up! Break out! Break through!” This time, however, the Holy Spirit had them add “Pass over!” Something has definitely shifted this Passover. We are breaking up, breaking out, breaking through, and possessing His promises now in this new era. We have reached a fullness of time. Because of the technology we now have, Believers around the world could enter into this all together as we received the revelation of the Passover this year. Now, we can all get this message out quickly to those who haven’t yet heard. “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.” (Daniel 12:1 and 3; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: We must let hope and faith rise within us and expect that our enemies will be scattered! Declare, “We are not accepting this shutdown, this lockdown, as our ‘new normal’!” Prophesy what God is saying your future normal will look like! Prophesy what God is saying the Church’s future normal will look like! Prophesy what God is saying the nation’s future normal will look like! Thank the Lord for the technology that allows us to spread the Gospel faster and farther than ever before in history. Intercede for the media and their proper use or disuse of their platforms. A prayer you can pray: Father, we feel hope arising in this season of limitations. Faith is rising. Creativity is rising. We aren’t going to be in this position forever, and we won’t allow anyone to make us think we will be. We are not accepting this shutdown, this lockdown, as our ‘new normal’! We are praying and learning and innovating. When we are released from this we will see the multiplication that occurred, even as it has throughout history. You are using this time to reset and multiply. You will restore to us all that was lost. We say, “We will regain all and more, because God is good to us. We will show forth with signs and wonders Who He is.” We will prophesy what You are saying over ourselves, our families, our businesses, and our ministries. We will prophesy the future of the Church in accordance with Your Holy scriptures. We will prophesy the way forward for our nation. We will say what You are saying. We will proclaim what is on Your heart. This is not the end. This is not the collapse of life as we know it. Judge what needs judged, Lord, and redeem what needs redeemed. We say, “Let God arise and every one of His enemies be scattered!” Let those in the media find themselves reporting truth. Let truth be honored in America again, and every lie be found out, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Today’s decree: We are breaking up, breaking out, breaking through, and possessing His promises now!

The Spirit of Adoption is on America [Beginning on 4/21, I asked my brother, Tim Sheets, to share some thoughts with us over the next few days, so we can pray with spiritual insight. We are going to talk about what God has to say to the Church and this nation right now.] DUTCH SHEETS (Speaking to Tim Sheets) Let me read a portion of a dream sent to me on April 8th. That was the literal Passover Day. The Lord had prophesied through many that the breakthrough would begin on Passover. Since Christ is our Passover Lamb, what better day to begin a breakthrough than that day. In the dream, I was on a platform with hundreds of other leaders. The only other identifiable person in the dream was our spiritual dad, Jim Hodges. We were talking about the original intent of our nation. I believe that was to be the greatest trumpet of the Gospel the world has ever had. So, we spoke about our history and past moves of God. Then, we spoke of current trends. Then, I said, “During this pause, God is recalibrating our hearts toward Him. Once the recalibrating is complete, the reset will take place. Then, there will be a fresh baptism of consecration. It will then be time for the fathers of the Ekklesia to release the spirit of adoption upon sons and daughters. We will baptize them into this and release them into destiny.” Many of us have known that what God is about to do will eventually grip the millennials and the younger generations. Just as in the Charismatic movement and the Jesus Movement, there will be millions of them that will come to the Lord. I believe we are about to move into that. When I stopped speaking, Jim Hodges began to say, “Pharaoh, let my people go.” He said it over and over. Eventually, the crowd began to decree it with him. I’m not sure if that was directed to evil governmental systems or humanistic forces in place that have tried to silence the Church. Probably all of the above. Then, Jim said, “God is reconstituting our nation as we follow the cloud by day, the apostles, and fire by night, the prophets.” God is going to move us back to original intent, original purpose, what we were created for. The dreamer then saw a cover of Times magazine that said, “Millions Baptized into their inheritances; the Spirit of Adoption is on America!” “But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, ‘Abba, Father.’ Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.” (Galatians 4:4-7; NLT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Consider this thought from the heart of the Father from the dream above, “The reason I can recalibrate this nation back to its original purpose and intent is because I have fathers and mothers, apostles and prophets, who hear My voice. They know how to receive strategy from Me and raise up sons and daughters into the fullness of their destinies.” Meditate on the fact that you are adopted as a son or daughter of the Most High. You are not rejected or abandoned. Not ever. Say, “Let it begin! Pharaoh, let God’s people go!” Repeat it as the Holy Spirit leads you. Declare, “Millions will be baptized into their inheritances now! The Spirit of Adoption is resting upon America!” A prayer you can pray: God, You have literally said through the dream above, “The reason I can recalibrate this nation back to its original purpose and intent is because I have fathers and mothers, apostles and prophets, who hear My voice. They know how to receive strategy from Me and raise up sons and daughters into the fullness of their destinies.” You have put us in our proper places. We have moved into a time that the earth has never experienced. You have adopted us into Your family. We are not alone. We are not rejected. We are not on our own or abandoned. You have made us Your full sons and daughters with all of the benefits of that position in Christ. We don’t have to beg or hope. We can know whose we are, and we can confidently make You known. You have matured many into the five-fold gifts. You have given us the ability to raise up sons and daughters according to Your Word. We have moved into a maturity to be able to reveal the fullness of who Christ is to the world through our obedience to You as Your matured sons and daughters. The result is that we are going to bring multi-millions of young ones into the kingdom in this era, and we won’t lose this harvest. That is staggering to ponder. So, we say, “Let it begin! Pharaoh, let God’s people go!” We declare, “Millions will be baptized into their inheritances now! The Spirit of Adoption is on America!” Amen. Today’s decree: The Spirit of adoption is upon America. Mature sons and daughters of God are revealing Christ to the nation. Learn more about Tim Sheets here.
