Seeing as Jesus Sees “The Lord is wanting to release a greater impartation of His heart to the Body of Christ for those who do not yet know Him. I saw life-changing encounters with Jesus happening all across the world, as the Lord began to ignite the fire of His love for those who don’t know Him yet. The fire of His love and revelation of His heart were so powerful in these encounters, that it affected the way the Church would SEE. As I saw these powerful encounters taking place, scales of judgment, criticism and accusation were falling off many of God’s people. They began to SEE the world and those who do not know Him yet through His eyes. This lead to a greater awakening of loving the down-and-out, the broken and the hurting, and seeing them as HE sees them. Believers all across the earth were being transformed by His heart of love for ALL people. I watched as the Church began arising in a whole new revelation of the love of Jesus and loving people to life. They were loving people toward the One who is the way, the truth and the life—our beautiful Jesus.” (Lana Vawser)1 “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.” (John 15:12; NLT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask the Lord for a greater impartation of His heart, especially for the Lost. Ask Him to clarify your vision of those who don’t yet know Him, until you can see them as He sees them. Repent, if He shows you a need to, so that your heart is softened. Intercede for every lost person you know, beginning with family members. Let Him bring surprising people before you to pray for. Find at least one person today who may not know Jesus and minister to them in His love. Ask how you can pray for them and let Holy Spirit lead the way. A prayer you can pray: Father, may the great harvest of souls begin for me today! Give me a greater capacity to love as You love. Help me to see the Lost as you see them. Forgive my judgmentalism. I have forgotten what it looks like to not know You. Give me grace not to expect a lost person to act like a redeemed one. (Intercede for every lost person you know, beginning with family members.) Surprise me, Jesus, with those You have chosen for me to pray for. Direct my path today right to those You have destined me to minister to – God-encounters with lost souls! In Jesus name, amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Church is about to see the Lost with new eyes filled with His love! 1 Learn more about Lana Vawser here.

Coming Baptisms of Fire “I saw people within the Body of Christ so overwhelmed and burning with the revelation of the Gospel and the fire of His love. The perfect love of Jesus was going into the world as these ones shared the greatest love story ever told with a completely new and fresh fire. There is a divine re-engagement with the Gospel that will take place in this baptism of Holy Spirit fire, leading to deep wells of encounter. This synergy I saw, of burning Holy Spirit fire for the Gospel, was so powerful. Believers were transformed, chains of fear in sharing the Gospel were gone and replaced with a new boldness and a bursting forth within the Church.” (Lana Vawser)1 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Desire to be a “burning one” for the Lord. Welcome the baptism of fire. Ask God to perfect His love within you. Stand up and break any chains of fear and hesitation off yourself which hold you back from sharing the Gospel. Read the Gospel of Mark and get fired up to do the works that Jesus did, propelled by the same Love that propelled Him. A prayer you can pray: Lord, I want to be a “burning one.” I’m afraid to ask for Your baptism of fire, but I know I have to receive it. Burn away anything in me that keeps me from coming close to You. Burn away anything that keeps me from sharing Your love with others. Melt away every chain of fear and timidity. Make me shine with Your love! As I read the Book of Mark, build my faith and make me ready to share Your love everywhere I go! I want to make You known, Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Body of Christ is being purified with God’s holy fire, and the lost in America will be drawn to His love story seen in us! 1 Learn more about Lana Vawser here.

Thank God for Prophets That Hear In 2007, Chuck Pierce was caught up to heaven and saw a vision of all 50 states and their condition before the Lord. The last thing God said to him in this vision was, “In 2016, I will play my trump card.” At the time, Chuck didn’t even know what that was all about. Kim Clement prophesied something similar in 2007, also. I don’t know if Kim was thinking of Donald Trump when he gave his prophecy. I know Chuck didn’t know it was about Donald Trump. We thank God for the prophets that hear. “Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” (2 Chronicles 20:20c; ESV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for the prophets and the prophetic gift. Repent if you have thought prophets do not exist today, that prophecy is not for today, or that God doesn’t speak to you. Look up every verse in the New Testament that speaks of prophecy and let your faith rise to hear the Word of the Lord. Pray for any prophets you know of. (Google them if you need to. Go to The Elijah List and read some of the Words they’ve given.) Intercede for them to hear clearly and see even more, so they can help the Body of Christ. A prayer you can pray: Father, I thank you for the gift of prophecy and for the prophets. Forgive me where my faith has been lacking regarding this important gift. Forgive me of any pride in thinking I did not need to know what You are saying today. As I do a Bible study on prophecy, teach me more than I knew before. Let prophetic revelation sink deep into my spirit, so that I will desire to prophesy. (Google current day prophets, if you need are not sure who they are. Go to The Elijah List and read some of the Words they’ve given.) I intercede now for some of the current day prophets. Grant them grace to hear even more clearly, Jesus. Help them to release the Words you give them at the exact right time, so we can know what You are up to! I say that America needs the Word of the Lord! Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that America is a prophetic nation that loves the prophets and honors Your Word through them!

Zoe in Hi Def I recently pulled up behind a car with a license plate reading 222ZHD. I felt my spirit leap and I knew it was a message from the Lord. I immediately knew what the 222 stood for. Isaiah 22:22 has become a very meaningful verse for me, as my calling relates to this nation. It says, “You’ll open doors that no one can shut and shut doors that no one can open.” But, I wasn’t sure about the ZHD, until I asked the Lord about it. He said, “It’s Zoe Hi Def.” Zoe is the Greek word for “life” – life sustained by God. Hi Def is a term describing very sharp, clear sound or images. If you put this together, God was saying, “God’s Life is about to be poured out clearly and vibrantly across this nation, and the enemy will not be able to stop its effect! His Church will hear His voice with a new degree of accuracy, so it can stop the enemy in his tracks!” “I’ll place on his shoulder the key to the house of David—what he opens, no one will shut, and what he shuts, no one will open.” (Isaiah 22:22; ISV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask God to help you hear Him more clearly in 2018. Ask Him for a greater faith to believe what He tells you to pray about. Expect answers! In 2018, believe God for a significant shift in unity in the Body of Christ, for another step forward in the ending of abortion, for real healing of the racial divide, for more exposure and arrests of those involved in sex trafficking and child pornography rings. Make Isaiah 22:22 declarations after listening carefully to God’s Hi Def directions! A prayer you can pray: Father, open my ears to hear Holy Spirit in Hi Def this year! Give me prayers to pray that the enemy cannot oppose and give me the faith to believe that the answers are imminent! Let me start by asking You to answer the prayer of Jesus and grant us greater unity in the Body of Christ. God, show the Church how to pray to end abortion in America. Show us how to heal the racial divide. I want clear direction to intercede until every sex trafficking ring and child pornography ring is exposed, with the victims freed and the participants brought to trial. Thank you, Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Church is going to shift things as we live a Hi Def Christian life in the U.S.A. this year!

The Year the Harvest is Ripe! We are not just moving into a new year. We are moving into a new era! We are moving into a season of evangelism such as the world has never seen! We could see more saved in the next 20 years than in the last 2000 years, combined. We are going to see a tidal wave of evangelism. I believe we could see a billion souls saved worldwide in this era. The Lord is saying, “I’m going to pour the Father’s Glory out on the entire nation. I am going to pour My Zoe life out on this nation!” This life will be manifested in notable miracles, drawing the lost to Him. “Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, ‘Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.’” (Revelation 14:15; NLT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: • Get out your Bible and research verses on the harvest and evangelism. • Pray into those verses and begin to decree and prophesy them into the earth. • Call for the salvation of all of your own as-yet-unsaved loved ones to be harvested into the Kingdom. • Intercede for the salvation of a whole people group – the elderly, the young, Native American, Jewish, Muslim, Ethiopian, Asian, etc. • Ask for the reaping of the harvest in your state. • Determine to look for opportunities to share the Gospel with the unsaved as often as possible this year. A prayer you can pray: Lord, I will begin my prayer time today in Your Word, searching out scriptures on the harvest and on evangelism. Wow! What a year this is going to be. I align my faith for evangelism with the Word of the Lord through the prophets – this is the year the great harvest begins! I will decree your Word and I will look for opportunities to introduce the lost to You. Save my family members (name them.) Save (choose a people group. Intercede for them as Holy Spirit leads you to.) God, release the harvest of souls in (name your state.) Thrust me into the harvest fields, Jesus! Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the harvest fields of the earth are ripe and the great harvest of souls is beginning!

Prophetic Countdown to 2018 – Glory Multiplication! “There was a dramatic climate change as a result of the combined ministry of the prophets that is listed in I Kings 18. Three years of drought were shifted into years of rain and plenty. We are in those times once again. This is a time when we go beyond the personal gift of prophesy and we prophesy out of the glory realm. It is a metamorphosis including seclusion, melt down, reconfiguring and breaking out. You must see the church with new eyes. You must see there is no wall that separates the sacred and the secular. You must see your business, government and secular occupations as mission fields. When we see from the glory realm of God, we receive revelation to transform society.” (James Goll)1 “To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies. O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!” (Psalm 68:33-35; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Consecrate yourself to the Lord and His purpose for You in this generation. Declare that the Lord is pouring out a greater grace to complete things He has said He will do through us. Ask Him to discipline you to watch and pray with Him, so we can get the job done. Our nation depends on it! Intercede for the partnering of the marketplace and the Glory the Church is experiencing. The world must see and experience His Glory and be drawn to Him. A prayer you can pray: “Father, in Jesus’ wonderful name, we consecrate ourselves to You and Your purposes in our lives and in our generation. We declare that we are receiving a fresh measure of Your grace to complete the assignments previously given to us. With faith and obedience, we align ourselves to pass under the shepherd’s rod and come into the new season You have for each one of us. Thank you that these are the Days of Acceleration and that your plans and purposes will be swiftly established in Jesus great name! We say there is a convergence of the Glory and the Marketplace. Jesus in the last hour went to the marketplace and declared, ‘This is My House of My Presence.’ Amen and Amen!”1 Today’s decree: “I decree that knowledge will increase—not only the experience, but the capacity to teach, train and multiply the glory realm of the Lord.”1 1 Learn more about James Goll here.

Prophetic Countdown to 2018 – Merger! “Previously, we had an era in which the Holy Spirit emphasized spiritual warfare. This was followed by an era in the global prayer movement that was centered more around Bridal intercession. We will now move into a convergence of Worshipping Warriors and Warring Brides. It is a time when there is a merger—between intimacy and the warrior—resulting in love motivated warfare. It is the time for those who know the Inward Journey into the secret place of God (Psalm 91) to move out into demonstrations of External Works of Power. Those walking in an Outward reach will see with greater clarity the necessity for the Upward reach. The Outward believers will be empowered by the Inward Life and the Inward will be challenged to become channels of love in practical ways. Bridal intercession is where the beauty of the Lord meets Bold Spiritual Warfare, and Valiant and Violent ones come forth.” (James Goll)1 “Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes—you will see the wicked paid back. For you have taken refuge in the Lord, my shelter, the sovereign One.” (Psalm 91:8-9; NET) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Thank the Lord for the season where He taught us to engage in spiritual warfare. Thank the Lord for the season where we first learned to draw close in intimacy to Him. Praise Him that He is bringing those two things together for His Bride now! If you are more outward focused, ask Him to prompt you to more intimate moments spent with Him. Get a journal and write down what He shows you. Note the scriptures He gives you to use as a sword. If you are more inward focused, ask Him to challenge you to become a channel of His love in practical ways to those around you. Watch for His prompting to engage the enemy in the marketplace, so that captives are set free. Worship Him, wait, get His direction, and decree His enemy-defeating decrees over the nation at least once every day for the month of January. Start today! A prayer you can pray: Lord, thank You for the season where You taught Your Bride to war. Thank you for the season where You drew us into intimacy with You. Thank you that we now get to experience the melding together of the two more than ever before! (See points 4 and 5 above and pray for yourself accordingly.) Starting today and through the month of January, I will try to seek You in that place of intimacy until I hear Your strategy to war against the enemy on behalf of the U.S. Then, I will decree Your decrees and watch the enemy move out of the way of Your Kingdom advancement, Lord! Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that God is uniting the Worshipping Warriors and Warring Brides together to become Valiant ones violently establishing His Kingdom in this land! 1 Learn more about James Goll here.

Prophetic Countdown to 2018 – Acceleration! “It is a time when innovation arises within the church. The following is a review of a God encounter I had on the Day of Atonement. On the Day of Atonement in the fall of 2017, I had a very intense and dramatic encounter. I heard the voice of the Lord thunder in my bedroom, ‘These are the beginning of the Days of Acceleration. Acceleration is an increase in the rate or speed of something. Yes, these are the Beginning of the Days of Acceleration. What took ten years to do could take one year. It is a time when God’s purposes swiftly move forward. But there are always conditions that must be met. We must align with the Word of God and character to carry the gift.” (James Goll)1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God…” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Call for the innovation He has promised would come from His people. Ask for it in your life. Ask for innovation to arise in every sector in America. Ask God to bring His Acceleration into our lives, so that His purposes come forth swiftly! Intercede for a rapid increase in witty inventions, supernatural miracles, salvation experiences, prodigals returning, in apostolic church planting, and in Kingdom advancement! Pray for acceleration in our political processes, so that blockages are removed and God’s plans for the nation can quickly advance through the system in the White House, the Congress and the Courts. A prayer you can pray: Father, I call for the innovation You have been promising to give Your people for quite a while. I say, “It is time! No more delay!” Supernaturally accelerate Your purposes for our lives and the nation. Let Your promises be manifested now. Let Your governmental plans be a reality now. Let Kingdom expansion, apostolic church planting, salvations, returning prodigals, signs, wonders and miracles, and witty inventions manifest quickly! Swiftly remove anything earthly that stands in Your way. Move the enemy and his plans aside, so Your Kingdom can come and Your Will be done in America! Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that these Days of Acceleration will propel God’s vision for America forward – fast!

Comfort is Coming I see many postings on social media about what a difficult year 2017 has been. It was challenging to many, but it was also a shift year, a transition year, a breakthrough year. Through the hardship, we received mercy. Through the struggles and pain of loss, we are coming to know the God of All Comfort. See, if we let the Holy Spirit be our comforter, He will console us and heal our hearts. Then, we become equipped to help others who will encounter similar losses. This is especially true where we become equipped to help the unsaved when they will have nowhere to turn. Let Him heal you. “All praise goes to God, Father of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. He is the Father of compassion, the God of all comfort. He consoles us as we endure the pain and hardship of life so that we may draw from His comfort and share it with others in their own struggles.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4; The VOICE) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: If you had a hard circumstance to overcome in 2017, bring it back up to the Lord right now. Bring the pain and the questions and the heartache to the foot of the cross and ask the Lord for a Divine exchange – His comfort for your grief, his blessing for your poverty, His healing for your sickness and disease, etc. His scripture is healing. Look up Bible verses that can serve as a balm of Gilad to heal your heart. Tell Jesus that you are willing to partner with Him to heal the hearts of those who don’t know Him. Ask God to heal our nation’s wounds, as well. A prayer you can pray: Father, let me tell You about the heaviness on my heart. Let me tell You where I feel I need You most. (Bring the pain and the questions and the heartache to the foot of the cross and ask the Lord for a Divine exchange – His comfort for your grief, his blessing for your poverty, His healing for your sickness and disease, etc.) Lead me to scriptures that I can pray over my life – those that will heal my mind and emotions. I want to be thoroughly healed by You, so I can help lead others to you. Show me how to help heal this nation’s wounds, as well, Jesus. Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that God is taking our pain and making us a compassionate nation!

The Reward of Friendship With God As far as we know, only two people on earth were shown by God who the Messiah would be – two who waited on Him in the courts of the Lord. One was a priest named Simeon and one was a prophet and intercessor, Anna. These were not religious ones or they would not have recognized Jesus at all. These were those with Gods own heart, His friends, those with His eyes and His ears – eyes that see and ears that hear. He made them a promise, and, as old as they were, they saw that promise fulfilled. Jesus, the Savior of the world, was revealed to them. “Anna, a prophet, was also there. She was a descendant of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was now very old. Her husband had died seven years after they were married, and she had been a widow for 84 years. Anna never left the temple courtyard but worshiped day and night by fasting and praying. At that moment she came up to Mary and Joseph and began to thank God. She spoke about Jesus to all who were waiting for Jerusalem to be set free.” (Luke 2:36-38; GWT) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: How’s your love life – with God, that is? We can all find more time to hang out with Him and fall even more deeply in love. Decide to do that as you move into 2018. If you want to know God’s plans, see things as they unfold, and understand what is happening in current affairs, you are going to have to spend time with Him. There are no short-cuts. Ask Him to help you with a new level of discipline. The natural response to seeing Jesus is telling others about Him. This will be the wave of evangelism about to hit our shores. It won’t be because we went to school to learn how to evangelize. It will be because we have been with Jesus and are compelled to tell others about Him. Pray it in! A prayer you can pray: Father, I want to fall even more deeply in love with You. I want to just hang out with you a part of every day. Minimize distractions in my life and draw me to You. Heal any broken, fearful places in my heart, so I don’t hesitate. Show me what You want me to see. I want to see Jesus, and I want to see what You are doing in America and the rest of the world. You are up to something and I don’t want to miss out on a thing! Stir my heart to want to tell others the things I know of Jesus. Spark the wave of evangelism in my neck of the woods. Use me in my circle of influence. Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that the Bride is coming into more intimacy in order to go out into the harvest fields!

Jesus Unites and Divides The Christmas story, as recorded in the Book of Luke, goes on for a while. A significant moment is when Jesus is taken to the Temple at 8 days old for his circumcision. Simeon, a priest at the time, was able to see Him. He was one of two people that God had revealed His plan to. God had told Simeon that he would see the Christ before he died, and this was the day! He prophesied that Jesus would be divisive. Imagine that being said of your child. God is one who unites men. He also divides – soul from spirit, thought and intent of the heart, light and darkness, and wicked from pure motives of the heart. He raises some up and takes others down. All of this is to draw men to Him. “Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: ‘This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.’” (Luke 2: 34-35; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Is there an area of your heart that has become offended at God? Repent. Let Christ shine His marvelous dividing light on your heart and deliver you from sinful, selfish motives, thoughts, and actions. Thank Him! Now, you can intercede with a pure heart for others that you know are caught up in the same issues and pride. Pray for them as the Lord reveals their situation to you. Pray for your Senators and Congressmen today – there is great need for pure hearts in Washington right now. A prayer you can pray: Father, where my heart has become offended at You and the way You have worked in my life, forgive me. Heal my heart and draw me closer to You. You are always good! I welcome Holy Spirit’s bright, holy light to shine in every nook and cranny of my heart. Straighten out the crooked and iniquitous thoughts, motives, and actions. Deliver me, so I can intercede for others with grace and anointing. Then, we can all be free together! I lift up my two Senators and my Representative and ask that you purify their hearts, as well, so they may serve the people well. If they resist You, remove them. In Jesus Name, amen. Today’s decree: I decree that God will continue to clean up Congress by dividing darkness from light in the hearts of this nation’s leaders!

God Came Down History shifted the day that Jesus was born! God became man and began to dwell among us. Oh the angelic rejoicing! Mankind would have an opportunity they hadn’t had since Adam and Eve fell into sin – man would walk and talk daily with God again. Intimate friendship! Face to face discussions. God came down. He came to give hope to the hopeless, forgiveness to the sinner, sight to blind, and hearing to the deaf. He came to show love to the lost and rejected ones. He came to the lonely and the oppressed. Nothing about Him has changed. He still comes to us each day just the same. Find Him today at your point of need or in your place of rejoicing! Merry Christmas! “’Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.’” (Luke 2: 11-14; NIV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Open your Bible and read Luke 2:1-20 and Matthew, chapter 2. Pay attention to the timing and the sequence of events. Notice how the enemy immediately tried to take Jesus out. Talk with your family about these things you noticed or write them down and think about them through the day. These are the things God wanted us to know about His son coming to the earth. He wants us to see that despite the peril to Himself and His plan, He came anyway. He is that desperate for relationship with you. Put on traditional Christmas worship songs today or sing a few carols that speak of Him and His miraculous birth. Make this a day of worship! A prayer you can pray: God, I am in awe! Christmas has a new meaning for me this year! It is always such a special season, but I feel You revealing Yourself in such a real way more and more. You are pouring revelation of Yourself and Your ways out on the Ekklesia. You are drawing us to Yourself. What a story Jesus’ birth is! It was dangerous and magnificent all at the same time! It was glorious and just the beginning of a whole new chapter in the earth – the chapter of “God With Us, the hope of Glory!” I will worship You all day long today in the midst of the gifts and the meals and the fellowship with family and friends! Jesus, I thank You for coming on that beautiful night long ago. Amen. Today’s decree: I decree that today Jesus will be revealed more than ever before! God is with us!
