    The Healing Summit I’ve asked the leaders participating in tonight’s Healing Summit ( OasisWired.org ) to share a few thoughts. (Tim shared some in yesterday’s post.) I will close with a wonderful testimony. From Ken Malone In December of 2011, my wife, Cheryl, and I embarked on a mission inspired by Holy Spirit, which continues to this day: the restoration and activation of healing revival. I went on a journey to various locations associated with historical healing revivals, including Christ For The Nations in Dallas (formerly known as the Voice of Healing) and Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. At Christ For The Nations, I was deeply impacted as I sat in a room commemorating these revivals under a portion of Gordon Lindsay's old tent, among chairs utilized during the William Branham Revivals. In January of 2024, I was presented with a wooden folding chair, over 75 years old, previously used in the A.A. Allen Healing Revival meetings. Since then, the message from the Holy Spirit has been resounding and unequivocal: He desires His Ekklesia to facilitate the establishment of healing revivals on a global scale. On August 10, 2013, during a speaking engagement in Tarpon Springs, Florida, I experienced a profound vision. Following the sharing of a dream entitled "Tell the Old Story," I gazed at the back wall of the church, where I beheld a vision of the cloud of witnesses. I saw tens of thousands of saints in heaven, their faces blurred by the Holy Spirit, except for the face of one preacher who passed away in 2009 at the age of 91. In the vision, this preacher was dressed in a black suit, white shirt, black tie, and was around 30 years of age. He engaged in gestures I recognized and, after whirling around and smiling, conveyed a message: "Tap into the Voice of Healing." He did this a second time and said again, “Tap into the Voice of Healing.” That preacher was none other than Oral Roberts, a pivotal figure in the healing movement of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. This vision served as a clear message from our Lord: we must align ourselves with His heart for a great revival of healing. From Pastor Pat McManus We are headed into a season that will truly impact the body of Christ and shift the nations in powerful ways. We have moved into a great alignment of hearts in the Ekklesia, enabling us to reveal and release the plans of the Lord in this time.   In Acts 13:1-3 the apostles surrendered to the plan of the Lord, and the Ekklesia was launched into the nations to impact their world. We are in such a time, positioned to step into the greatest opportunity of our lifetimes, aligning with the heart of the Father to see the fullness of His Kingdom revealed. This time will produce the greatest-ever expression of the Kingdom of God in the nations. Prepare to move forward. From Dr. Greg Hood Holy Spirit directed me to Jeremiah 17:14:  "Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.” We know that God is the Healer. We also understand that we are the conduit Holy Spirit flows through to manifest those healings. As we prepare for this to occur tonight in Middletown, Ohio, I feel the Lord is saying the following: He is just as excited about these meetings as we are. Physical healings WILL manifest in Middletown, Ohio, and all over this nation, and in other nations of the world. Others will watch the service later and experience the same anointing. God is rebirthing a healing movement the likes of which we haven't seen for almost 50 years. Galatians 4:4 says, "But when the fullness of time came…" (NASB); I believe we have arrived at another "fullness of time." All that has occurred over the last 50 years has brought us to this moment when God is birthing another healing movement. This supernatural manifestation won't be about men; it will be about HIM flowing through His Ekklesia. The latter part of Jeremiah 17:14 says, "Save me, and I will be saved."  Salvation is also part of what God has planned to release tonight from Middletown. Many who do not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior will come to know him tonight. I also feel a strong stirring in my spirit that many prodigals will come home. Signs and wonders are for unbelievers, and God is going to use them to bring his family back together again.  He is releasing mantles upon His Ekklesia to move in the supernatural. The Ekklesia has entered greater maturity. She is experiencing God's tremendous grace upon her, and will release extraordinary power. God has brought us through many stages of growth to arrive at this place.  From Clay Nash God has shown me that the Healing Summit will provide a trigger point for a significant healing wave to be released across our nation and the earth. Holy Spirit has said that He is seeking to heal His body so His body can go and heal the world. This release of healing is significant to the billion soul harvest. Isaiah 8:18 states that we and our children are for signs and wonders.  From Dutch I’m expecting the gifts of the Spirit - the working of miracles, gifts of healing, words of knowledge, the gift of faith (1 Corinthians 12:7-11)---to operate tonight throughout America and other nations. When this occurs, amazing things happen.  “On a ministry trip to Guatemala in 1980, Ceci and I, along with a seasoned missionary couple, were asked to pray for a woman hospitalized with tuberculosis. We found her in a ward with approximately 40 other women, the beds only about three feet apart. It was simply an area in the hospital where the doctors and nurses could attend to the very poor. There were not even partitions to separate the women. And yes, this woman was coughing her tuberculosis onto those around her. “As we talked and prayed with her, we noticed the lady in the next bed observing us closely. When we finished, she asked if we would be willing to pray for her. Of course, we were glad to do so and inquired about her needs. She pulled her arms out from under the covers and showed us her two hands, curled back toward her body, somewhat frozen in that position. They were totally unusable. She said her feet were in the same condition.  “While performing surgery on her back, the doctor accidentally cut a nerve in her spinal cord, leaving her in this condition. There was nothing they could do to correct the problem. “Compassion filled our hearts as we anointed her with oil and asked the Lord to touch her. Nothing noticeable happened, but we encouraged her to trust the Lord and drifted across the room to see if we could share Jesus with anyone else. No hospital employees were present at the moment, so we had relative freedom to do as we pleased. “Just as we were about to visit with another lady, we heard a commotion and someone screaming, "Milagro! Milagro! Milagro!" We turned to look and saw the lady moving her hands wildly, opening and closing them, wiggling her fingers, kicking her feet under the covers, and shouting the Spanish word for miracle. Indeed, a miracle had taken place! “I don't know who was more surprised—the lady who was healed, the other ladies in the room, or me! I hoped for a miracle, but I don't think I actually had faith for one. I remember thinking, this sort of thing only happened during Bible times. “The next thing we knew, every woman in the room was begging us to pray for them. We went from bed to bed - just like we knew what we were doing -  leading women to Christ and praying for their recovery. Several were saved and healed as the gifts of Holy Spirit were released.” (1) Let’s ask this for tonight. Pray with me: Father, we ask You to meet with us tonight in Middletown, across our nation, as thousands tune in online, and even as the recording is watched throughout the world. We are asking for miracles! And we’re asking for the gifts of Your Spirit to be poured out to believers worldwide, launching a new era of signs, wonders, and miracles. Be who You are; do what You do.  We do not believe we are being presumptuous in asking for these things; we believe this is Your will and time - even a fullness of time for a reawakening of healing revivals. Launch it! Demonstrate who You are to a generation that has been duped regarding Your existence. We humbly and boldly ask for this in the name of Yeshua. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the power of the Lord will be present tonight to heal, and gifts of the Spirit will be imparted by Holy Spirit!

    INTRODUCTION In a moment, I will share a dream my brother Tim released several months ago. Before getting to the main portion of today’s post, however, I want to mention again the importance of praying for the protection of our government leaders. The primary concerns I have felt are for Trump and Robert Kennedy, though Kennedy is no longer running for office. I feel they are at risk. Please pray for all of our leaders, highlighting them during this time. We will do so together in today’s prayer. The New Season of Miracles We are moving into a supernatural, transformational, and reformational era where the glory and power of the Lord are being amped up at much higher levels. The Holy Spirit has consistently emphasized that healings and notable miracles are to be part of this era. They will now come in greater measure.  The divine healing ministry is a part of my heritage. My roots go back to what is called “The Voice of Healing” movement, a time when healing evangelists held healing and miracle meetings in America and other nations. All manner of sicknesses and diseases were healed, even incurable diseases, by the power of God. Well-known ministers of that time were Gordon Lindsay, A.A. Allen, William Branham, Jack Coe, Kathryn Kuhlman, Oral Roberts, and many others.  When I was a boy, my dad was also used by the Lord greatly in the healing ministry. My brother Dutch and I regularly worked at the altars, and we saw the power of God manifest time after time. I have seen many miracles occur, including incurable diseases, blindness, and deafness. I once watched as a man’s crippled and twisted body in a wheelchair completely straightened, completely realigned, and became completely restored. Over the years, I have received many prophetic words about moving in the healing and miracle heritage from my childhood, and I believe Holy Spirit is now accelerating this assignment. It is time for supernatural events to happen on the earth, as was seen throughout the Scriptures. Notable miracles will now help change history, as was seen in the Book of Acts.  We are moving into days when notable miracles will accelerate through Kingdom Ekklesias.   The miraculous will flow into towns, cities, regions, states, and nations. It is time to believe for this supernatural power of the living God to move in our churches with signs, wonders, miracles, and healings. In light of recent words and visions I have received, Holy Spirit has recently prompted me to pray for healings and miracles quite often. I asked the Lord one day to give me a prophetic understanding regarding these dreams and visions, and He gave me another unique dream regarding notable miracles.   THE DREAM I was in a very large room with what looked to be around a hundred people. All age groups were represented, from young children to the elderly. I could see each individual very clearly. I looked over to one side and saw a blind man standing, holding a white cane. I looked around the room and saw people who were obviously deaf using sign language. I saw other people with sores covering their bodies. The sores looked infected, and I knew it was some kind of skin disease or cancer. I saw others who were extremely sick, in the last stages of deadly diseases. I saw some who appeared to be stroke victims, paralyzed and dragging a leg or unable to use an arm. I saw a few others in wheelchairs.   It was as if I was in a hospital ward with people experiencing all sorts of debilitating sickness and diseases. I could see the hollow look in their eyes, the fear and hopelessness written on their faces. I remember in the dream feeling so sad for them that I wanted to get out of the room. I didn’t want them to see me cry.  At this point in the dream, I decided to walk to another room across the hall. When I walked into this room, it also was inhabited by a hundred or so people. However, these people were completely different from the others - happy, joyous, laughing, and energetic, the absolute picture of health - interacting with one another. Obviously, I noticed the contrast between the two rooms. As I stood there for a moment, a man walked up to me whom I had never before met, but instantly recognized.   (It was T.L. Osborn, who is now in heaven. He was one of the famous healing evangelists who moved in the healing and miracle ministry during the days of “The Voice of Healing” movement. I’ve seen videos of his crusades where dozens of wheelchairs and crutches were left behind at the altar. Notable miracles happened through this great man’s ministry.) The dream continued: He and another person walked up to me. T.L. Osborn asked me if I recognized the other man. I replied, “No sir, I don’t think I do.” He brought someone else over to me and asked if I recognized him. Again I said, “No, Dr. Osborn, I don’t think I know him.” He continued bringing people to me, asking if I knew them, and I continued to reply that I did not. Then, Dr. Osborn beamed at me with his broad smile and asked me to look very closely at each person. I did, but again said that I did not recognize them.  He then said to me, “You were just in the room across the hall with these very same people.” He pointed to one person and said, “This is the one who had sores all over their body, and a part of their face was disfigured. He gestured to another person and said, “This person was the one in the wheelchair over against the wall.” He continued pointing out others, “This one was the stroke victim who could not move her arm. These people were the ones in the last stages of cancer, barely able to stand. And remember this man? He was the blind man with the white cane. Here are the children you saw that were so sick and in such pain, they could hardly move, let alone try to play.”   One after the other, Dr. Osborn introduced me to these people, who were now so healthy and transformed that I did not recognize them. They were those whom I had seen across the hall. Then Dr. Osborn asked me if I knew what room I was in, to which I replied, “No. I just wanted out of the other room, so I came into this one.”  He smiled broadly again and said, “This is the Covenant Healing Room.” He pointed to a sign on the wall that read, “By Whose stripes we were healed” [1 Peter 2:24].  End of dream. We are now in a season that will include great, notable miracles. King Jesus is stepping to center stage, with His Ekklesia by His side, to magnify His magnificent healing covenant. He went to the whipping post, took stripes upon His back, and purchased a covenant right to our healing. Holy Spirit is saying it is time to press into the miraculous healing realm and believe for notable miracles.  Pray with me:    Father God, activate the gift of the workings of miracles and gifts of healing across this world. Release healings and miracles throughout all 50 states and around the earth. Loose them in our homes. Loose them in our families. Demonstrate how big and how great You are. Holy Spirit, pour out Your power to activate miracles in our midst. We agree with heaven’s plan. We believe that whatever the need is, You can take care of it.  And we pray for supernatural protection over our leaders in Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. Trump, and especially Robert Kennedy, have been highlighted to me, Lord, so we pray specifically for them today. Surround them with angelic protection, shielding them from harm just as You did when Trump was shot at. Cause every plot or plan to be thwarted.  We ask all of this in Christ’s name, amen. Our decree:   God’s healing power is being released, and we will see notable miracles, signs, and wonders manifest. Today’s post was contributed by Tim Sheets.

    BIG Grace, BIG Power, BIG Miracles  I will share thoughts today and tomorrow regarding healing and miracles in preparation for the Healing Summit this Friday night in Middletown, Ohio . In Friday’s post, I’ll share some thoughts/words from the leaders who are participating.  Today, Holy Spirit has drawn my focus to Acts 4. The timing of this chapter is just after the healing of the lame man at the gate called Beautiful (Acts 3:1-10). Keep in mind there were no chapter divisions when the Scriptures were written; the narrative of Acts 4 is a continuation of chapter 3.  All of Israel was aware of this man. Israelites traveled from around the nation to Jerusalem for the three major feasts, and while there, no doubt walked past him many times. As a result of his astounding miracle, followed by Peter’s preaching of the gospel, approximately 5000 people were saved just on that day (Acts 4:4).  The Jewish leaders who had rejected Christ were angry about these conversions, but could not deny the reality of the miracle (4:16). Their response was to threaten Peter and John, commanding them not to speak or teach in Christ’s name (verse 18). The response of the believers was to pray. In their prayer, they referred to (and included) Psalm 2, which speaks of rulers working together against the rule and cause of Christ: “And you spoke by the Holy Spirit through your servant David, our forefather, saying: ‘How dare the nations plan a rebellion, ranting and raging against the Lord Most High? Their foolish plots are futile! Look at how the kings of the earth take their stand, with the rulers scheming and conspiring together against God and his anointed Messiah!’”  (‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭TPT‬‬) The believers then asked God for several things, and received an astonishing response: “So now, Lord, listen to their threats to harm us. Empower us, as your servants, to speak the word of God freely and courageously. Stretch out your hand of power through us to heal, and to move in signs and wonders by the name of your holy Son, Jesus!” As they prayed, the earth shook beneath them, causing the building they were in to tremble. Each one of them was filled with the Holy Spirit, and they proclaimed the word of God with unrestrained boldness.”  ‭‭(Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬-‭31‬ ‭TPT‬‬) Wow - the building shook! And they were filled with Holy Spirit, and with boldness. “Unrestrained boldness” is one word in Greek, parresia .(1) The footnote in The Passion Translation says of this interesting word:  “This involves more than confidence; it was a free-flowing, unrestrained boldness. It can also mean ‘freedom of speech.’  Parresia carries nuances that are not easily brought over into English…[ parresia ] was reserved for only the highest rank of Greek citizens, not people of other lands or slaves…”(2) This struck me as significant. Parresia  was a type of “freedom of speech” connected to citizenship in that day and culture, much like what we American citizens are granted in our Constitution. But these disciples weren’t asking for Rome’s freedom or permission, but heaven’s. “We are citizens of the Kingdom of heaven,” they were saying. “You are the King of this Kingdom and all the earth! Grant us YOUR permission to speak, heaven’s ‘freedom of speech!’” And the building shook - permission granted!!!  The chapter then speaks of their unity and generosity to one another (verse 32), followed by the incredible statement in verse 33:  “And with great power, the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.” (NKJV) The word “great” is used twice here - “great power” and “great grace” - and is the Greek word megas, (3) from which we get our English word mega. It is used again in Acts 8:13, speaking of “great miracles.” One of Strong’s definitions of megas  is simply “big!” I love that. BIG power! BIG grace! BIG miracles! How much grace and power from heaven do we want? BIG!!! What kind of miracles are we asking for? BIG!!! Let’s ask God for this BIG grace and BIG power to be poured out Friday night, releasing BIG miracles for those present and watching. (So far, 640 churches are planning to stream the service and pray for individuals in their sanctuaries; thousands of individuals will do so in their homes.)  Also, we know this is more than a one-night service for healings and miracles; it is about gifts and anointings that will be released throughout the world for continuing healings: gifts of healing, workings of miracles, the gift of faith, the word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits (1 Corinthians 12: 7-11). A new season! These gifts of the Spirit won’t be released from us, of course, but from Holy Spirit. Let’s agree for this today.  Protection of Leaders Though it seems a bit out of place in this post, I want to add a paragraph urging prayer for the protection of our leaders. I have been feeling an alarm - on Monday, Ceci and I felt it at exactly the same time - regarding another assassination attempt. This warning was strong. Please pray daily for the protection of leaders in every branch of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. Please include those who are running for office and their teams. Consider asking Holy Spirit to lay an individual on your heart to pray for daily. Let’s pray right now.  Pray with me: Father, just as the early church did in Acts 4:29, we ask You to extend Your hand to heal on Friday night and from then on. We ask that signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy Son, Jesus. We realize You have always provided healing, but we believe an “outpouring” of miracles will now be released as part of this new harvest season. Give us mega-grace, mega-power, mega-miracles, and a mega-harvest.  So many are in need of healings and deliverances, Father. We’re asking for the release of Your compassion, just as You did through Jesus, who was “moved with compassion.” Let Your compassion move through the earth Friday. Move in homes, churches, hospital rooms, dorm rooms, everywhere where hungry people are crying out to You.  And please release an impartation of the gifts of Holy Spirit. Deposit them into thousands of believers around the world. We pledge that there will be no focus on our ministries and churches Friday night - only on You. We are not asking for miracles or revival in order to grow our ministries and churches, but to rescue the lost and broken and glorify You. Send this, Father. Amen. And Father, we pray for protection over our leaders and those running for office. We pray especially for President Trump, as he is so hated by some; we also lift up Robert Kennedy, whom we are concerned for. But we also pray for Kamala Harris, our legislators, and our Supreme Court Justices. Please protect them, Father. In Yeshua’s name, we pray all of these things. Our decree: We decree that signs and wonders are being released into the earth in the holy name of Jesus. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

    A Million Women, Part 2 Today’s post is a transcript of my interview with my good friend Lou Engle. Lou is founder of The Call and Lou Engle Ministries . God has anointed Lou to convene large gatherings, filling stadiums to pray and fast. As I shared in yesterday’s post,  on October 12, 2024, A Million Women  will gather on the Mall in Washington, D.C., to pray and fast for America. Here is that interview with Lou sharing his heart about this strategic, upcoming event. (If you usually read the post while also listening, today I encourage you to only listen or read; not both. I have edited the transcript so it will be easier to understand. Therefore, it will not follow the exact wording of the video or audio post.) _____________________________________________________________ Dutch’s Interview with "A Million Women"  Convener, Lou Engle: Dutch: Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15. I told you yesterday I would have a very special guest on today’s post, a guest you would not want to miss. That is my very dear friend Lou Engle, who founded The Call, which held so many events with millions of people gathered from around the nations. I participated in many of those with him. Lou and I have run together for decades. (We’re young, but we’ve run together for decades.) We have committed to one another, even covenanted, to run together to see this nation turned back to God. And Lou’s with us today. I’m gonna basically turn him loose. I want him to share his vision and heart for the event coming up on the Washington D.C. Mall, October 12th, [2024]  one more day that God has planned to turn this nation. And I want him to be able to share unencumbered. I won’t say much. I just want him to take off. So here is my friend, Lou Engle.  Lou: Dutch, it’s so good to be with you. I think it was in the late nineties or 2000, we made that covenant together. You wrapped the American flag around my shoulders, I gave you my coat, and I think we’re still bound together. I am just so moved even thinking about our journey together. We’re just bound together for America.  Dutch: I agree, man.  Lou: And you know, it was 24 years ago, September 2, 2000, when literally 400,000 young people gathered to fast and pray on the [Washington] D.C. Mall. This came out of the Promise Keepers  gathering. Our word was always this, from Derek Prince, when there’s no hope for a nation, when there is no remedy, God still has a holy prescription. Blow the trumpet in Zion, call a fast, gather all the peoples in humility, let them cry out, spare your people, O God (Joel 2:15-17). And the promise is that He would restore the land, and He would pour out His spirit on all flesh (verses 18-32). I’ve never left that word from Derek Prince. And that’s why we’ve done these gatherings over the years.  Probably 77,000 people gathered on 7/7/2007 in Nashville, TN, at Titan Stadium. Dutch, there you released a message of “sevening” America, “divorcing” Baal, and “marrying” the Lord. And now we’re seven years into a new “sevening” period. And on that day ( October 12, 2024 ), Dutch, we’re going to stand with a million women and their Mordecais to say, “God, the blood of Jesus is more powerful than all the ideologies that are sweeping into our nation.”  So, I’ll share briefly the story. It really started in 2014. I was in a gathering and what I would call a “prophetic explosion” took place for two hours. And one of the words was this, “Like Promise Keepers , a million women will go to the Mall in D.C. It will be the last stand.”  Sometimes we need to be shocked by prophecies (prophetic words). At times, we just blow them off. If it is a last stand for America, then maybe this is indeed that moment. Many people think that we are in a “defining moment,” even in the upcoming elections. If so, then this could be a last stand. These women will come in the spirit of Jeremiah 9. Death has climbed through our windows, children are being cut off, those playing outside and the young men in our streets (verse 21). Literally! “Cut off” is the word for literally cutting off (karath) (1). There is a “cutting off” of our children as occurs in transgenderism. We cut them off in the womb, and now we’re cutting them off in our schools and our ideologies. Something’s got to shift right here and now. The million women will come in the spirit of Jeremiah 9:21; they will cry out, and save America. I’ve lived under the shadow of that prophecy since 2014, daring to believe there would come a divine moment. And then in 2017, another divine convergence took place when witches rose up worldwide to curse President Trump. Now, you’ve got to ask the question why witches would rise up worldwide to curse President Trump. In his past, he was not necessarily a moral man. I do think he has some amazing character to stand up to all the fire that he’s gone through, but you’ve got to ask the question, “Why would witches curse him?”  These are my thoughts: Maybe the spiritual realm understood, more than the pulpits of America, that this man was a threat to the blood altar of Roe v. Wade. And if that blood altar fell, it would give us a moment, a window of opportunity. I’ve even been preaching this, Dutch, that when Roe v. Wade ended, the womb of America would open. We prayed, “God, end abortion, send revival to America!” That was our prayer for 18 years, standing and praying in front of the Supreme Court.  I also think the spirit realm may have understood that this man (President Trump) would connect us with Israel for such a time as this.  So I went to the mountains, Estes Park, Colorado, for three days to fast and pray, asking God, “Do you want me to mobilize prayer concerning these witches rising up?” And on the third night, I have one of the most epic dreams of my whole life. (Dutch, you and I are the ultimate dream guys. We believe that God speaks and creates movements.) In this dream, as far as I could see, women were coming from everywhere; young and old. And they were all coming to hear the book of Esther taught. In the dream, as I’m looking at this, I said, “This is a women’s revival! I’m looking at a massive women’s movement, with the spirit of Esther, that will be raised up to break witchcraft.” And in the dream, I’m the only man there; with an old ancient Bible. In the interpretation of the dream, I think the Lord was saying this to me, “I’m giving you an ancient calling of Mordecai to mobilize what you were looking at: a massive women’s Esther movement that will break the witchcraft fueling the ideologies coming into America.” (Back to the dream) In the dream, a woman stands up and teaches from the book of Esther. While doing so, she says, “And these two words in the book of Esther actually mean Nazgul.” I explode out of the dream, instantly knowing what it means because I watched the “Lord of The Rings” movie, the third part, where the Nazgul witch king is destroying the armies of men and says, “No man can kill me.” But (in the movie) the king’s daughter takes off her helmet, lets her hair down, and says, “I am no man,” and she pierces the Nazgul witch king.  I explode out of the dream knowing there is coming a women’s movement connected with the Mordecais, (men and women, but targeting women) who are going to rise up and challenge the witchcraft, the ideologies of the spirit. And not only that, they will challenge the education systems where these ideologies are trying to destroy our children. The brilliance of God is that He would reach into a movie I watched years ago and slam it into the present moment through a dream, to give us faith that maybe we’re in a moment where we are like Promise Keepers, who put a million men on the mall. Dutch, we put 450,000 young people on the Mall in 2000. Maybe God’s wrapping it all up with a massive, Esther women’s movement, at a time that is the last stand.  Esther had been named after the goddess Ishtar. Ishtar, also called Ashtoreth, was a goddess in Canaan. The land was controlled by that spirit. Esther is named after Ishtar, and is living in a culture under the dominion of that spirit. Ishtar was the goddess of sexual immorality, pornography, and transgenderism. (Read The Return of The Gods  by Jonathan Cahn; you will see America in that picture.) So here Esther is, literally sex trafficked. She’s an orphan, adopted by a man (her uncle) who has a heart for the woman. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah (Esther 2:7), but she is also Esther. Maybe she’s having an identity issue. What happens though, is that God, (represented by Mordecai) cares for her heart. Men must rise up and care for the heart of women who have been wounded. They’re gonna find their voice, if we give our care and heart for them. And with Esther, there comes a time, as he’s caring for her heart, she becomes the queen. And he says to her at a certain moment, “Sweetheart, I understand the challenge of your soul, but there comes a time that you can’t live out of your pain. You’ve got to step into your prophecy to change and shape a whole nation.” I think she understood this. I think she understood that when Haman cast lots (Esther 3) to see when to kill the Jews, he was tapping into divination to fuel his ideology of anti-Semitism. And she understood you cannot break divination by politics. You have to break it with massive fasting and prayer, which Mordecai called for. Esther broke it in the spirit through that three-day fast, but she still had to go public. And I believe women are going to do so today. They’re going into the education systems, and into the political realm. Mothers are going to give birth spiritually to 100,000 salvations in the LGBT movement. We believe Ishtar is going to be nullified in measure and there’s gonna be a jailbreak, a new Jesus movement, when a million women go to the mall, Esthers, and take communion. Can you imagine a million people, and millions online?  Who would have guessed when we began to mobilize this, that October 7th would take place and worldwide anti-Semitism would break out, as in Esther’s day. Brothers and sisters, this is not just an accident. God is setting the stage for a massive showdown. When He offered up His blood on Passover, He didn’t just save families, He judged the gods of Egypt. Principalities and powers were dislodged by the power of the blood. And when we gather on the Day of Atonement, October 12th, for 10 hours of fasting and prayer, it will be a spiritual court case. The Day of Atonement was literally a court case for the nation of Israel when they went into judgment or into mercy. And I believe a court case has been set on that day; we must get the verdict of mercy! We must get a verdict of mercy! The root of mercy that you preached for years, Dutch, the root of mercy.  And here’s what I’m also thinking. Haman was a political leader (Esther 3:1). He was the avatar (an avatar is a host, embodying another); he was the host of that spirit of Ishtar. That’s how he was loosing his ideologies. Today, we’re in an election where there are avatars, there are hosts carrying the spirit of Ishtar for the offering up of our children: to transgenderism, sexual perversion, and abortion. We are in a showdown. We believe that on this day , something could shift. When Esther says, “I’ve come into the Kingdom for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). We will gather by the thousands on the mall in D.C., daring to believe that God is gonna loose a new Jesus movement, a new awakening and revival, (which is already beginning), and a stand that could literally shift elections. Our stand is not against people, but against spirits that are releasing ideologies. There will also be massive repentance.  And, by the way, how can you vote for those who are the avatars of the very things you’ve been repenting for as a nation? I believe we’ve come to a court case - the books are open, the court is seated, and a decision is going to be made on behalf of the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:22). Bring together men and women for such a time as this. That’s the story. Dutch: Lou, it’s just incredible. I’m having trouble talking I'm so moved by what you’re saying. I feel we’ve come to a point in time where we can turn this nation. I feel God will use this event as one of the final, important days He has brought us to, to turn this nation. I’m not saying it will all be finished. I’m just saying it’s a part of the finish, and it’s huge. I’ve been to many of these large events, and I’ll be at this one.  I just want to encourage our listeners to participate in the October 12 event  in whatever way possible - including men, not just women. I am hoping that thousands of men will be there just to support these Esthers, and I know you feel the same way.  Lou, I would like for you to finish this post with prayer for the nation, for this event, and whatever God has on your heart.  Lou: Well, I want to just say that Dutch, I’ve asked that on October, 12th, if you would bring us into a covenant renewal moment similar to what we did as individuals now on 7/7/2007 in Nashville.  Now we’re in a real crisis moment for Israel and for the world. So in the name of Jesus, Lord, we pray that You would cause the church to wake up to the crisis, a last stand reality. That God, there would be a sound that those who have been prepared will be able to hear. That sound is saying, “For such a time as this, you’ve come into the Kingdom.” I pray that You would do what we cannot do, blow the trumpet. God, You can release the sound. We don’t even know what’s going to happen in the next 50 days. Lord, perhaps, even a crisis. So we just cry out to you, Lord.  We know that You’ve ordained these dreams. We’ve believed them. Now we ask that You set them in motion. Let the bones rattle. Call to D.C. buses and airplanes; bring them from the north, south, east and the west, to stand before You and before the blood of the Lamb that speaks a better word. Lord, we give You praise and thanks for this in Jesus name. Amen.  And Dutch, I want to give thanks. Just two weeks ago, I had no money. I prayed one day, “God, if we don’t get money now, it’s over.” That day, I get a phone call. In five days, two million dollars exploded forth. And I knew the Lord was with us; I just knew the Lord was with us. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. So I want people to believe that God is moving right now, but we must move with Him. Amen, I love you, Dutch.  Dutch: I love you, too. And what’s the website they can go to to sow into this, Lou?  Lou: AMillionWomen.org . And then we’re also doing something that is a public stand - women and mothers fighting for their children. It’s called don’t mess with our kids.us . Don'tMessWithOurKids.us.  It’s important that we don’t just pray. We have got to go public, take a stand.    Dutch: Well, amen. Ceci and I have sown into this event and we’ll probably do more, but I just encourage you, friends of GH15, get on board. I know that to do an event like this on the D.C. Mall will cost several million dollars. Lou puts himself out in faith every time God asks him to do one of these large events, and He just comes through, and He blesses through people like you.  Lou, thank you so much. This has been so powerful.  And thank you all for joining us today. Lou and I may do another longer podcast in the future to talk about some of these things in a little more depth and detail.  Thank all of you for joining us today on Give Him 15, and thank you, Lou.  Please join us again tomorrow.  Click on the link below to watch the full video.

    A Million Women In Revelation 13:8, Jesus is called “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Amazing - God plans for satan’s defeat before this fallen angel and forever loser even launches his attack. Isaiah 46:10 actually states that God “declares the end from the beginning.” For we Americans, this means God had already planned for our recovery and turnaround before we rebelled from Him. He is working on those plans now, moving on human hearts and orchestrating Spirit-led events. One of those events is the Million Women  gathering on the Washington Mall on October 12 of this year, hosted by Lou Engle (The Call; Lou Engle Ministries ) and Jenny Donnelly (The Esther Network; Her Voice Movement ).  In God’s thinking, I believe this gathering is most likely a continuation of what began on 7/7/07 in Nashville, TN. On that day, 70,000 plus believers gathered to stand in the gap for America, praying to end her alliance with Baal and renew her covenant with God. Holy Spirit had specifically given this date to Lou Engle, leader of The Call events, before he even understood why. (My family and I were there that day.) The words “seven” and “oath” are the same word in Hebrew ( shaba ). (1)  This is because an oath of covenant - in a marriage, for example - was repeated 7 times. The oath was often called “sevening oneself.” (2)  In Scripture, when Israel turned from idolatry and the serving of Baal in order to renew covenant with Yahweh, 7’s were often involved in the process (see Judges 6:25). The number 7 was also often found in the circumstances surrounding Israel’s judgment for aligning with Baal (see Judges 6:1). The Lord revealed to Lou that He sovereignly chose this date to symbolize the following two things for America: 1) ending her covenant with (“divorcing”) Baal; and 2) renewing covenant with (“remarrying”) Yahweh.  This gathering began a process in America that continues to this day. Coordinated efforts have taken place in ALL 50 states to follow up The Call Nashville.  Much repentance has occurred, and thousands of prayers have been prayed to further this process in America. Now comes October 12, on the heels of a worldwide day of prayer for revival in America (September 22 ), followed by three weeks of concerted prayer, ending with the National Prayer Assembly October 10-11, and this gathering on  October 12th . Lou relates this day to Esther and to the prophetic call in Jeremiah 9 for the wailing women to intercede for Israel. He says of this day: “There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuum created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history: the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing. “Esther was a ‘hinge of history woman.’ She was an orphan Jew in pagan Persia, was adopted by Mordecai, her uncle, and then, because of her beauty, taken into an evil king’s harem. She was then appointed by the unseen dancing hand of Providence into the position of Queen of Persia. At that time, the king promoted wicked Haman, who issued a decree of destruction against all the Jews of the Persian empire. Suddenly thrust into a do-or-die defining moment, Esther chose to risk her life by going into the king’s presence illegally rather than live for self-preservation. There, she made intercession before the king and, in so doing, saved the Jews worldwide from genocide. Now, Esther’s story has become the divine template and inspiration for every generation that lives under the shadow of anti-Christ legislation, persecution, and anti-family ideologies threatening to destroy them.  “Welcome to the American crisis! Welcome to a new Esther Moment! The Lord is summoning A Million Women, Esthers young and old, with their husbands and children, to descend upon the Washington D.C. Mall on October 12, the Day of Atonement, in a LAST STAND moment for America. There, Esther will PRAY, FAST, and cry out for her children, for death has climbed through our windows (Jeremiah 9:21). There, she will find healing and deliverance in the presence of worship. There, she will apply the blood of Jesus to the doorpost of our personal and national guilt, and declare the victory of the cross over witchcraft and the powers of darkness. There, she will take her STAND and inject herself into the public battle for the revival and reformation of America. “When there is no natural hope for a nation, where there is no natural remedy, God still has a holy prescription, ‘Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a Solemn Assembly, call a fast, gather the peoples’ (Joel 2:15). Let the Esthers, the children, and the Mordecais gather and call on the Lord on the Day of Atonement, a Day that must not be missed. Who knows if you have come into the Kingdom for such a time as this!” (3) Tomorrow, I’ll have a very special guest with me on Give HIm 15 to share the vision of A Million Women . Don’t miss it! I conclude today with this video, then we will pray.  Click here to watch 'A Million Women Event Trailer' . Pray with me: Lord, Francis Frangipane studied the history of revivals, and saw that there was an organized prayer movement preceding each one - except the Jesus People Movement. “Why?” he asked You. “What enabled You to bring this revival?” You told him, “I answered the prayers of a million mothers.” In the countercultural revolution of the ’60s, with millions of young people drowning in the drug, sexual, and ideological rebellion, a million mothers cried out to You. And You answered.  The fight against darkness now is greater than then. And we are crying out once more for Your deliverance to an entire generation. Place Your favor on this gathering. Move on the hearts of a million believers to attend in D.C., and millions more around the nation to participate online. And on Yom Kippur, this Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16: 1-34; 23: 27-28), forgive our sins and heal our land.  On this most solemn day of the year for Israel, when the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to sprinkle blood on the Mercy Seat, may the blood of Jesus bring mercy to America. On this day, when the scapegoat symbolically carried the sins of Israel into the wilderness, never to be seen again (Leviticus 16:20-22), remove America’s stain and uncleanness through the sacrifice of Christ.  In Yeshua’s name. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that America’s covenant with Baal has ended, and we are renewing covenant with the Lord. You can find out more about this upcoming event at A Million Women.org .

    Changing America God wasted no time before introducing the all-important concept of government in Scripture, doing so in the very first chapter: Genesis 1:26-28. Government is vital. Whether it be in a home, city, nation, or any other grouping of people, God’s intent for government was that it serve people by providing protection (covering), instruction, justice, appropriate and loving discipline, peace, and more (Luke 13:34; 19:44; 1 Timothy 2:1-4; Romans 13:1-4). Righteous rule (government) is God’s primary method of releasing these necessary actions and outcomes on earth. Proverbs 29:2 tells us that this brings joy to people; when it does not occur,  the result is mourning. No wonder He told us to pray first for those in government! (1 Timothy 2:1-4) The Hebrew word used for “mourn” in Proverbs 29:2, that which occurs when the wicked rule, is a strong word. Anach  means not only to mourn, but to moan and groan, even to gasp. (1)  Moaning, groaning, gasping, and mourning - that’s what wicked rulers produce. Proverbs 14:34 adds that the sin these rulers produce causes shame and disgrace to a nation.  The controlling element of America’s current ungodly government has brought disgrace and mourning by believing it has the right to:  Kill babies and make those who believe this is murder pay for the abortions Approve the selling of the aborted babies’ body parts (are you gasping yet?) Allow babies born alive during failed abortions to lay unattended until they die   Redefine what it means to be male and female Reject the first covenant God established on earth, marriage, and redefine it using activities He forbade (and celebrate this rebellion with cheering, flags, nudity, and lit-up government buildings) Take ownership of children from their parents; they indoctrinate them using pornography and drag queens, even to the point of encouraging the children to be sterilized by drugs or castration (are you mourning yet?) Open our borders to drugs that kill tens of thousands every year, to criminals, rapists, and terrorists, and to millions of illegals annually who are never taught our laws, history, and values (all for votes to stay in power) Promote Marxism and socialism Rewrite America’s history, attempting to steal our Judeo-Christian roots  Redefine our Constitution Remove our freedom of speech Lie to us at will And much more. What if I told you the American church could easily change all of this? Yep. You see, approximately half of evangelicals aren’t registered to vote, and half of those who are still don’t vote. It is an accepted fact that if all evangelical Christians voted and did so according to biblical values, we could control every national election and place godly, Bible-believing leaders in office. This means that in one election cycle, we could begin reversing every evil I just listed. Every one. In America, “we the people” have the amazing right to place in power who we want to rule over us; “we the believers” have the numbers to ensure they’ll be leaders who possess God’s biblical values.  Let me be more specific. Yours and my votes, based on biblical truth, could save the lives of babies, the reproductive future of children, God’s plan for marriage and the family, and America’s freedoms - almost overnight.  But “we the believers” don’t do so. We empower evil by not voting or by voting inappropriately. Why? Complacency - not voting; a dislike and distaste for the political process and political spirit; succumbing to the political spirit and voting based on party affiliation; and compromising biblical truth by voting based on party affiliation, personalities, and promises of personal benefits, rather than voting based on truth and the good of all.  How can we change this? Here is a helpful tool. MyFaithVotes.org   is an informative website that has done the work for you! It is a wonderful one-stop-shop website where the Christian voter can be educated, informed, prepared, and ready to go to the polls. There, you can find information concerning upcoming elections, articles about upcoming bills in Congress you need to be aware of, and much more. If you follow their prompts, you can even find out if you are registered to vote, info on absentee voting, where to vote near you; and if you are NOT yet registered to vote, their links will take you directly to the right link in YOUR state where can register to vote online, right then! Additionally, they provide simple ways to engage with those who represent us in our State and U.S. Congresses. You can do all of this from home!   Here are a few of the many tools the MyFaithVotes.org website offers:   My Voter Hub - check your registration, receive a text voting reminder, order an absentee ballot, see your ballot ahead of time - who is on it, what they stand for - and mark your sample ballot to take to the polls with you, and more.  Contact Your Elected Officials  - simple instructions for composing an email regarding your concerns and the ability to send it with one click to whichever of your representatives you would like to contact Think Biblically - a 6-week Bible study course on topics in the public square, presented by Christian influencers, such as Voddie Baucham on Justice, and Abby Johnson on Abortion   This year   My Faith Votes   is also running a simple, yet very impactful Get Out the Vote  campaign to influence Christians who aren’t currently participating in important elections. It’s called Write Now . Engaged Christians from all 50 states can write to and pray for disengaged Christians in the key swing states, encouraging them to vote. These disengaged Christians are identified as already registered, pro-life and pro-traditional family, but do not vote consistently. Through these letters, you can encourage them to vote for their biblical values. Simultaneously, My Faith Votes sends digital ads to these recipients. Their prior campaigns reveal that through this Write Now  campaign, they see a significant lift in the number of Christians who vote. This non-partisan effort is not political; it is biblical.  My Faith Votes  has the current names/addresses of hundreds of thousands of Christians in key swing states who are registered voters, pro-life, pro-traditional family, who either don’t vote, or are inconsistent in doing so. If you’d like to help change this, you can go to this direct link: www.writenow2024.org . They will supply a free digital packet with complete, easy-to-follow information, including a letter they have already written for you. You will simply supply the printing of the letter, envelope, and stamp, along with a prayer for the recipient. You will only use your first name and last initial for the return address. Your privacy is of utmost importance.    This has resulted in a 20%-50% increase in those who go to the polls. You will have a positive effect with the letters you send. Nationally, My Faith Votes  has helped generate thousands  of biblically motivated votes, helping turn elections. Think about it - with a couple of hours of your time and a few dollars, you can help elect righteous and godly leaders. Please consider getting behind this! Hold writing parties. Involve your church or other groups!   If you’re interested in helping, they also have extensive tools for CHURCHES, including multi-media, bulletin inserts, and much more.   Let’s all do our part to encourage people to vote for leaders with traditional and biblical values.  Pray with me: Father, we thank You for the awakening happening in the church. The sleeping giant is stirring. Cause the alarm clock to become louder and louder. Make it impossible for Christians in America to silence the alarm or override it with other activities and thoughts.    Our hearts, though breaking over many issues, are also filled with faith that You are changing things dramatically. The conscience of a nation is being brought back to life. The heart of a complacent and passive church is being, and will continue to be, awakened. Thank You for Your grace and Your mercy.  And Father, as believers awaken from complacency and lethargy, motivate them to vote. Give organizations like My Faith Votes  great participation and success as they implement Your creative ideas. We ask You to lead many people to participate in their efforts. Thank You for turning this nation around. We are very grateful that You have not given up on America. And since You have not given up on her, we won’t either. Your verdict has been rendered: America shall be saved! So be it. And we, Your family, will do our part to see this occur. In Christ’s name, we pray this. Amen.   Our decree:   We declare that we, the church, will involve ourselves at every level and in every facet of government, releasing the authority and blessing of God into the earth through our prayers and actions.

    Important Upcoming Events I’m unsure why most believers do not pray passionately for America’s recovery and turnaround. I suppose it’s a combination of causes. For some, it is their theology. They believe the condition of America and the world is just a sign of the times, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. “God is sovereign; if He wanted to change it, He would,” they believe. “Just accept it - we’ll be rescued soon by ‘the rapture.’”  Then there are those who fall prey to the “frog in the kettle” syndrome. “The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water, which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of sinister threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly.” (1) Some modern biologists dispute this theory, but the metaphor is still used extensively. Regardless, the phenomenon has certainly occurred in America today. For many Americans, including the church, warnings about what is occurring in America have gone unheeded. The growth of government, loss of freedoms, incredible moral decay, rebellion against God - these and other destructive phenomena have occurred one “degree” at a time; we adjust, and all seems okay. Meanwhile, another baby is killed, another child is castrated, and another sin is accepted as normal.  One would think the church would surely be ablaze with fervent prayer and grieving repentance after 65,000,000 abortions. Nope, no time for that. I’m happy to tell you that despite our compromise and lukewarmness in the American church, God is waking up this frog! A remnant is awakening to America’s true condition, and they are praying. Several key prayer endeavors are taking place in our nation this fall, and millions from around the world have agreed to help us!  Dave Kubal, President and CEO of IFA, says regarding our times and the upcoming prayer initiatives: “We’re in a crucial battle for America and the world in 2024. International conflicts could spark World War III, and global elites are pushing for a ‘New World Order.’ Once a proud superpower that sought to spread and uphold faith in God and promote values like democracy and human rights, America is increasingly adopting a more secular mindset and recklessly accumulating debt. “It’s a scary time for humanity, but God has given us the powerful tool of united prayer. As E.M. Bounds said, ‘Prayer can do anything that God can do!’ We need to come together and seek His guidance for America’s future. “Join forces with fellow believers this fall to resist the evil one’s plans and protect our nation and the global body of Christ from his agenda! Global Zoom Prayer Call Kickoff, September 22 “Join the kickoff for a three-week prayer initiative by joining us for the Global Day of Prayer,  a three-hour Global Zoom Prayer Call  featuring international prayer leaders. This will lead into focused prayer, fasting, and shared concerns as we seek agreement in Matthew 18:19. This is a Global Day of Prayer for America.  Two Culminating Washington D.C. Events, October 10-12, 2024 “The initiative will finish in Washington, D.C., with the  National Prayer Assembly (NPA) on October 10-11, and the Million Women on the Mall gathering on October 12, the Day of Atonement.” (2) I am excited to be participating in these events. As I alluded to earlier, during the three hours of prayer on September 22, 2024, at 7:00-10:00 AM ET,  we are expecting millions of people around the world to join us. Literally. Believers around the world are praying for revival in America. Dr. Jason Hubbard, Director of the International Prayer Concert,  says: “It’s our desire to see a massive, full-scale revival and awakening erupt in America! “We have been asking for another historic move of the Holy Spirit to sweep across our land and awaken a generation to wholehearted love and surrender to Jesus!... “We are longing for a Gospel Explosion, a tsunami of revival to come crashing in on the beaches of our nation for the spread of his fame, for the extension of His reign, for the increase of His gain, and for the honor of His claim of that which rightfully belongs to Him, from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea!... “We are in desperate need of revival in America. Many of our churches are prayerless and plagued with pride. Many of our homes and marriages are broken. Believers are said to only donate two percent of their income in one of the wealthiest nations of the world. “The overall church growth in America is stagnant…the church and its leaders are struggling to walk in John 17 oneness. “Our nation is divided politically and socially. As we know, only a united church can heal a divided nation… “Samuel Davies reminded us from his vantage point of the First Great Awakening, ‘there are eras when only a large outpouring of the Spirit can produce a public general reformation.’ He witnessed first-hand how revival and awakening brought a cultural change that nothing else could accomplish. The pastor of St. John’s-Wood Presbyterian church declared after the Welsh revival, in which 100,000 people came to Christ in nine months (1904-1905), that ‘the mighty unseen breath of the Spirit was doing in a month more than centuries of legislation could accomplish…’ (3) “May the church in America bring our minds and hearts before the bonfire of God’s all-consuming Son, the Lord Jesus, asking for a greater revelation of who He is, where He is headed, what He is doing, and how He has blessed. Let’s ask for a glorious Gospel Explosion to erupt in this nation for his renown!” (4) I’ll be saying more about these prayer events in the coming days, but please put these dates on your calendar now.  Don’t miss the opportunities to pray and agree with millions of believers around the world.  Pray with me: Father, You know our propensity as humans to default on accepting responsibility whenever possible. We in America have often looked the other way, hoping that someone else fixes our nation’s problems. But we must accept responsibility and take action.  We thank You for awakening Americans, especially the church, to our true condition, and ask for this to continue. We also ask You to awaken believers to the incredible authority they have in Christ with which to change this. Our prayers can bring Your mercy and transforming power. Stir the hearts of millions more to take up the cause.  Thank You for moving on the hearts of millions of believers around the world to pray for America. Stir the hearts of millions of Americans to participate on September 22, and the events thereafter. You said America shall be saved, and these are some of the methods You will use. Thank You. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that by the mercies and power of God, America is shifting this upcoming fall.

    Introduction I received an encouraging word from Larry Sparks, a revivalist and publisher with Destiny Image, regarding the upcoming Healing Summit in Middletown, Ohio. He believes it is part of Holy Spirit’s plan to release sudden outpourings throughout the world. Larry graciously agreed to write an entire article communicating the revelation he was receiving. You will enjoy it. Larry’s title: ________________________________________________________________ Multiplied Miracles, Mantles, and Outpourings   These three words: Space, Setups, and “Suddenlies”  speak of what we are entering this Fall in the spirit. When we give the Holy Spirit space  to do whatever He wants, we are being setup  to experience “suddenly”  outpourings of God’s presence and power.     Coming up is a significant event that is giving space  for the Holy Spirit to move and will serve as a setup  for both America and the nations to experience “suddenly”  outbreaks of Holy Spirit. On August 30, Tim Sheets is hosting a one-night Healing Summit at Oasis Church in Middletown, Ohio. I’ve had a strong sense of expectation that the Lord is going to use this night as a forerunner gathering, and have been praying almost daily for it. It’s a pioneering meeting meant to break something open and, like a domino effect, spiritually shift the nations.   I believe the meeting will serve as a prophetic prototype for what’s possible in the days ahead; it is not just for the Oasis Church. There is a fresh and growing expectation that as we gather together in one accord, He will come.     I’m convinced that as we give the Spirit more space, as Tim is doing, we will witness more results—specifically, the following three supernatural effects:   Effect 1 - Multiplied Notable Miracles   “Notable miracles ” is a phrase that has captured my attention. Early in the Book of Acts, we see how a single “notable miracle,” the lame man outside of the Gate Beautiful, captured the attention of the onlooking world (Acts 3). Yes, it caused controversy and division, but above all, it pointed people to the undeniable reality of the Risen Messiah.    It’s time to once again create spaces for the Holy Spirit to move in miracle-working power. This  is Heaven’s timeless response to doctrines of demons such as humanism, atheism, and the vain philosophies of a post-modern, post-Christian era.      I believe this Healing Summit is going to be like a shovel that digs through and hits a bubbling spring of healing miracles.  Our nation is desperate to witness an authentic, pure demonstration of the miraculous. Not hype. Not smoke and mirrors. We are crying out for undeniable displays of God’s power, causing people to fall on their faces and cry out to God.   Effect 2 - Multiplied Miracle Mantles Released   Leaders, fathers, and mothers…if your eyes have seen the miracles of God and your hands have released the supernatural power of the Spirit, it’s time for you to freely give what you have freely received .   I see a multiplication of miracle mantles being released through the laying on of hands. Every follower of Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, has in their hands miracle-working power. Being used to release miracles is not reserved for the platform minister. Certainly, God has raised up notable vessels for miracles in times past, such as Kathryn Kuhlman, John G. Lake, and Smith Wigglesworth. But the same Spirit inside Wigglesworth, Kuhlman, and Lake is in each of us.   Take it a step further: The same Holy Spirit that saturated Peter so that his shadow brought healing and deliverance is in us (Acts 5:15). The same Spirit of power that saturated Paul and caused articles of his clothing (that he wore while making tents) to release extraordinary miracles also lives in us (Acts 19). Yes,  I’m impressed by the healings and deliverances that took place because of Peter’s shadow and Paul’s clothing–but I am more provoked by the truth that it’s possible to be that saturated  by the Holy Spirit.   Every believer contains Holy Spirit’s power. I also believe that the elementary doctrine of the laying on of hands  (see Hebrews 6:2) is a powerful way we catalyze believers to step into a whole new dimension and demonstrate this miraculous flow. This is what I see happening at the Oasis Healing Summit and other gatherings of the like. I see spiritual leaders, mothers and fathers who have been used as catalysts for the miraculous, laying their hands on every believer hungry to be used by God in this supernatural capacity…causing a mighty release of multiplied miracle anointings.      Effect 3 - Outpourings that Transform Territories   In Acts 9:32-35, a paralyzed man was healed. I believe this is a significant portion of Scripture for the Healing Summit and for every single believer burning to see God-given, regional transformation at levels we have not yet experienced.    With good intentions, we’ve tried using the “Greatest Hits” of our Church Growth handbooks. We’ve experimented with Christian gimmicks and spiritual entertainment of all sorts, motivated by an often genuine desire to bring the maximum amount of people to Jesus. The results, unfortunately, have been minimal. God is good and will work through some of these methods because He desires to see people born again and transformed. But why settle for a trickle of Holy Spirit activity when we can experience a mighty rushing river? This passage in Acts 9:32-35 speaks of a notable miracle, where a bedridden, paralyzed man named Aeneas is miraculously healed. Admittedly, I often camp out on the more explosive parts of this story: the amazing miracle of this paralyzed man being healed, or the powerful decree that Peter made which released the healing (“Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you!”), or the drama of it being instant and overt (“immediately, he got up”).    For too long, I focused exclusively on the miracle of Aeneas’ healing and not on the fruit it produced. The final verse of this passage was recently burned into my heart when I considered what Aeneas’ healing miracle catalyzed territorially:  “ So ALL who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord” (v. 35). All  who lived in two entire territories saw the man who received a notable miracle, and did what? Turned to the Lord!      Here are a few things to remember as we pursue the miraculous:  1) Do not be ashamed of pursuing miracles, making space for God’s supernatural power to manifest, or operating in the gifts of the Spirit.   2) Do not be discouraged by religious voices that say, “Pursuing miracles is chasing God’s hand ; instead, we are supposed to be pursuing His  face .”  Time after time, throughout the Psalms, we see the interconnectedness between the  nature of God (His face) and the works  of God (His hand); His miracles reveal Who He is!  3) Finally, we must not discount the miraculous as secondary, trivial or unimportant. The very thing that causes some of the unnecessary controversy in Christianity today— signs, wonders and miracles —is what has the potential to cause the greatest regional and territorial revival.   Where our noble efforts have failed in securing territorial Kingdom transformation, notable miracles performed by the hands of everyday believers, both young and old, will be catalysts for this level of supernatural breakthrough.  Miracles performed in our church sanctuaries and the marketplace, at high school lockers and in college dorm rooms, at sporting events and in the local grocery store; Miracles that provoke; Miracles that confront; Miracles that cause once-skeptical agnostics to fall on their faces, crying out to the Lord; Miracles that stir a commotion in regions, placing a demand on the local churches to host more gatherings, preach more truth, and be ready to receive far more conversions.   Make more space for Holy Spirit to move miraculously. When you give Him space  to move, you are creating  setups  for God to release  “suddenly” outpourings. And remember, “suddenlies” have been known to release Day of Pentecost sounds over territories, sounds that draw in the multitudes and cause thousands to be born again.    Pray with me:   Lord, we give You space in our lives to do whatever You want. Cause us to recognize and step into Your divine setups so we can experience “suddenly” outpourings of Your Spirit in our lives.   We ask that every believer will be used to release miracles, signs, and wonders.  We ask that miracles be demonstrated in the name of Jesus to break open entire cities, regions, and even nations for the Gospel. Lord, use each one of us. We stir up Your anointing within us. Cause us to be so saturated with Holy Spirit that we would be demonstrators of Your gospel through miracles and healings.   Our decree:   We decree that notable miracles are breaking out in America and across the nations, causing entire territories to be saved and transformed by the power of God.     Today’s post was contributed by our friend Larry Sparks, a publisher with Destiny Image.

    Yesterday, I quoted from the phenomenal book Killing America: Turning the Tide on the Tsunami of Darkness  by Gene and Teri Bailey. I’m doing so again today. One of the chapters in the book is about drawing a line in the sand and saying, “No further.” We have reached that point in America: we must stop those trying to destroy the America God formed - NOW. One of the individuals from America’s history who modeled this was Peter Muhlenberg. You’ll love his story, as well as another regarding the great John Quincy Adams. Enjoy. Today’s title: Drawing the Line In the basement of the U.S. Capitol, there’s a statue of a man named Peter Muhlenberg. Most are not aware of who he was. Peter’s father, Henry Muhlenberg, was responsible for the Lutheran Church being established in the United States, and Peter was a Lutheran pastor as well. The reason Peter’s statue is in the Capitol is because of his famous action on January 21, 1776. After he gave his sermon based on Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV),  “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven,”  he closed his message with the words, “In the language of the Holy Writ, there is a time for all things. There is a time to preach and a time to fight. And now is the time to fight.” At that point, Pastor Peter Muhlenberg threw off his clerical robes to reveal the uniform of an officer in the Continental Army. Drums began to roll, men kissed their wives, and then walked down the aisle to enlist. Muhlenberg walked out that day, and 300 men connected with him, going to fight for the American Revolution. There was a pastor who drew a line and stood up. Peter lived in Woodstock, Virginia, while his brother Frederick Muhlenberg, also a minister, was in New York. Frederick responded like a lot of pastors do today. He was like, “Oh, Peter, you’re kind of overreacting. We need to preach and stay in the church. We’re not supposed to cross the line. We’re not supposed to be in politics. We’re supposed to be preachers.” And Frederick continued that way…until the British burned down his church. When they did that, suddenly Frederick decided he was going to join the fight. Frederick joined the military, then later ended up serving as Secretary of State and Speaker of the House. Peter Muhlenberg was a general in the Revolutionary War and ended up serving as a Senator and several key appointments in our government. But what’s interesting is that they were two pastors. It was highly unusual to step out of that position - and to wear a soldier’s uniform under your priestly robes was unheard of. Peter Muhlenberg was so important to America that there’s a statue of him in the basement of the Capitol. There is a statue of him in a park in DC, as well. He was the founder of the Black-Robed Regiment. That’s the essence of what we are doing through this book and Flashpoint Live. We’re motivating individuals, ministers, business leaders, and teachers to get out of their robes of complacency and stand up for what’s right. Again, this is not a call to violence, but to fight through the constitutional means available to us by making our voices heard. Peter’s own brother didn’t agree with him until they burned down his church. And what was the outcome of his brother getting involved? He fought the fight in the American Revolution. Unfortunately, it seems like most people are like Peter’s brother—they don’t get involved until the battle comes into their backyard. The “What you do in your bedroom is your business” attitude has gotten us where we are today. We have to understand our role as believers and as patriots who love and believe in America. There has to be a line that you won’t let someone cross, whatever the risks and costs. (1) Duty Is Ours; Results Are God’s   Even though the founding fathers intended the United States of America to be a nation without slavery, this didn’t happen right away. One man fought tirelessly for the freedom of America’s slaves: John Quincy Adams. For twenty-eight consecutive years, he consistently fought for this cause - even when it seemed that he was making no progress at all. One day, while he was leaving the Capitol building, a reporter stopped him and asked why he kept pushing for the emancipation of slaves when it seemed hopeless. Adams turned, looked at the reporter, and said simply, “Duty is ours; results are God’s.” He then walked on. In 1847, a man who looked up to Adams came to serve in Congress as a freshman legislator. Soon, Adams took this man under his wing and became his mentor - they grew so close that this man was a pallbearer at Adams’s funeral. After one term in the legislature, this man went home, and Adams later died after serving 28 years in the legislature - seeing none of the fruits of his labor. Sometime after Adams’ protégé returned home, he ran again for office, and again, and again. In fact, he lost multiple elections. But one of the elections he did win was the most important - the race for President of the United States. This man’s name was Abraham Lincoln. He went on to be one the most important presidents in our nation’s history - and the one who ended up freeing America’s slaves. John Quincy Adams’ response to the reporter’s question was an extremely wise one. He understood that you cannot be distracted by what you see when working toward a goal; you have to live by faith and trust that God will bring out the fruits of your labor. While we are leading the change, we must always remember to keep our eyes on the goal like Adams did. We must always remember that “Duty is ours, results are God’s.” The Lord knows what He is doing, and He knows when the day will come that Americans once again recognize God’s hand in the affairs of men. (2) Pray with me: Father, we ask that You please bring revelation to the church of our responsibility to pray and work for Your turnaround in America. We ask that the spirit of intercession come afresh and anew on us. May we see clearly where we are in history, and may we see just as clearly that we have what is needed to turn the tide. Awaken us! We declare that Your authority is now being released over the government of America. You are dismantling the arrogant systems and political forces that have exalted themselves against You. All who have opposed You, along with the strongholds they have built, will be pulled down. And all unrighteous laws they have written will be reversed in the coming season of revival and reformation. Their evil ways and activities will be exposed. Your angels are on the move now to expose and dismantle. Speak to pastors and leaders; reveal where we are in our nation and throughout the earth. Remove distractions from us and veils of deception that make us feel everything is fine. Make it clear that we are in one of the most critical times in history. Help us to see that our individual congregations, our careers, our personal plans, and dreams are not what matter most at this point in time. Please bring revelation, lest we miss our moment in history. In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that evil carries no power, authority, or rights in our land or over our people, and America shall be saved!

    Today’s post is taken from Gene and Teri Bailey’s new book, Killing America, Turning the Tide on the Tsunami of Darkness . Rarely do I simply read a portion of a book on the GH15 posts. This one is an exception, because it conveys my heart. It is extremely rare to find a book that lays out the true condition of America, WITHOUT leaving the reader feeling defeated and hopeless. But if you watch Flashpoint Live , you know the Baileys believe America can and will be saved! And this book makes that case! Get it. Read it. And give a copy to a friend.  Here is a portion of the opening chapter; tomorrow, I will share a portion regarding how we stop the killing. From the book: Killing America Our blessed America, the land of the free and home of the brave, the place of dreams and opportunities, of baseball, Chevrolet, and apple pie - the country we love - is being killed. When we say “killed,” we mean those behind this dark agenda will stop at nothing less than the absolute demise of America as we know it. This one nation, under God, raised up by God, founded on Judeo-Christian values as a bastion of light and a defender of the weak, is being murdered in cold blood… America is not being assassinated with a quick bullet to the head, or even being overtaken suddenly by foreign militaries. Bombs aren’t being dropped, and missiles aren’t flying - not yet, anyway. Instead, it seems our country is suffering a slow, painful death by poisoning. What makes it even more deplorable is the ones who appear to be administering the toxic doses are from within our own ranks. Over the years, it seems we’ve allowed subversion from the American ideal set by our founding fathers. For decades, we’ve ignorantly and numbly watched the gradual execution while occupied on our rabbit-eared TVs with fuzzy screens, which transitioned into Technicolor on our RCA TVs, and advanced on to high-definition, flat screens and smartphones. All the while we were eating our popcorn and cheering our favorite sports teams. Sure, from time to time, we would get concerned, and have moments of uneasiness, but then we’d go back to being distracted and pacified by our toys and comforts. All the while, our freedoms were being stripped away, ever so subtly, as lethal ideologies were slowly injected into our culture. Germaine Copeland, bestselling author of the Prayers That Avail Much book series with more than seven million copies sold, told us, “Over 50 years ago, I heard a former Communist youth leader outline the plan to take over our nation. She said they were already in important positions in the media, universities, government, etc. I may have been the only one who walked out that day believing her. Everyone I talked with, or attempted to tell, said it will never happen in America.” Eventually, the deadly venom started taking its toll, to the point where it appears our Lady Liberty is now gasping from its cumulative effects. The closer she is to death, the weaker she becomes, and the more accelerated the damage. The forces against her saw an opportunity to finish her off and sent a tsunami of darkness to drown her in depravity. It’s a double whammy - a poisoning by deadly ideology, so far from the strength of our original biblical Judeo-Christian values, and drowning by a tsunami of its dark outgrowth. This is where we find ourselves, in what appears to be the last stages: shallow breathing and possible signs of a death rattle is near. Meanwhile, the tide of darkness seems to be rising. Make no mistake. The forces of darkness are not out to merely change America and make her over by implementing their own progressive agenda. They want America as we know it, destroyed, including your freedoms, so something entirely new and extremely dark can be ushered in. Total control appears to be the goal. Logical dialogue is not in the playbook, so First Amendment rights seem to be heavily targeted. The old adage: "I respect your views and you respect mine," is not part of the agenda. "I allow you to be your own person, but I don't agree with you," is apparently not acceptable, either. The key here is that often disagreement is labeled “hate speech.” It seems if we don’t affirm and celebrate others’ ungodliness, we’re guilty of hate speech. Labeling our freedoms as “hate speech” provides the moral license to marginalize and then tyrannize. Because we can’t be shut down with a logical argument, we will be shut down by belittling or laughing at us. Or, we may be screamed over so we can’t be heard, maybe even shoved, punched in the face, or knocked to the floor. Property is sometimes destroyed, and cities burned. If we’re fortunate, we won’t be beaten, hospitalized, or possibly arrested. Yes, arrested, because the whole time, during the ordeal, there is an insistence that we need to be kind. We are blamed as the ones actually provoking the violence and bullying them because of our disagreement with their ideologies. You and I are, in essence, being fed to the lions while our antagonists sit in the Colosseum cheering. In Roman times, thousands packed an arena to laugh and cheer while Christians were ripped apart and eaten by lions. The general public had been desensitized while Christians were dehumanized and deemed a threat to a pagan society. Humans are capable of doing horrible things. Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) says: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Today, if you are a patriot, a conservative, or want to see America turn back to her original foundation of Judeo-Christian values, you find yourself in the minority. If you love this country, you are considered by many a racist, bigot or even a hater worthy of being fed to the lions. America is a God-given nation and her documents of freedom are based on biblical values. What we are affirming is America is a space for freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom of thought and to pursue life, liberty and happiness. It was founded on godly principles (that we will look at throughout this book). Imagine where we will be in five years if we don’t make our voices heard and fight back. They are killing America. That is the bad news. The good news is, there is still hope . America is not dead yet! (1) Pray with me:   Father, we are like the Psalmist David, who in the midst of great adversity, declared his faith that he would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). The following verse tells us to  “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”  Because our trust is in You and Your obvious will, we will not faint or grow weary in our prayers and efforts to see America saved. We have put our hand to the plow and will not turn back. Many times throughout history, it looked as though it was over for Israel. But You had other plans, and demonstrated through them that Your mercies endure forever. You also proved that You can resurrect nations. We believe wholeheartedly that America shall be saved. I ask You to release great favor on this book. Though it clearly reveals satan’s plans and diagnoses America’s condition, it just as clearly imparts faith and understanding of how we will change things. Thank you for Gene and Teri Bailey's faith and wisdom. Thank you for the voice You have given them. And thank you for their warrior hearts.  And finally, I ask You to strengthen the prayer army across this nation and strengthen those on the front lines of seeing government, education, media, and every other segment of our culture restored. As they fight spiritually and labor for the turnaround of America, infuse Your wisdom, revelation, and strength into them.  We ask all of this in Christ’s name. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Today’s post was taken from Gene and Terri Bailey’s book Killing America  and used with permission.

    Releasing God’s NOW Strategy Genesis 1 tells us that when God began the creation process, the earth was formless ( tohuw ) (1)  and empty ( bohuw ). (2)  As well as formless,  tohuw has a broad range of meanings, including “desolation, desert, barren, confusion, and even chaos.” (3)   How does God deal with chaos, confusion, barrenness, and other negative things represented by these words? He began His transformation process by speaking: “Then God said…” (verse 3). “Said” is amar (4)  in Hebrew; as well as “saying” or “announcing,” it can mean “to say in one’s heart; to think; to imagine.” Zodhiates used the phrase “internal speech” (5)  as one of its meanings. So, God imagines and conceives in His heart or mind, then releases His creative power with His words.  It should come as no surprise then that the first step for us when dealing with chaos is to find out what God is thinking and saying about it; what His will is. This always begins with Scripture and/or scriptural principles, but also includes Holy Spirit’s now revelation. Once God’s will is known, His now  strategy can be implemented. This may be fasting, agreement in prayer, prolonged intercession, declarations, etc., or even a prophetic act such as “go wash your eyes in the pool of Siloam” (John 9:7). The sons of Issachar  “understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do”  (1 Chronicles 12:32). “Understood” is  biyn, (6)  which includes both wisdom and revelation. It is wisdom, understanding gained from experience and learning, but also revelation, that which Holy Spirit is revealing now. Because of this unique blend, these Issachar leaders could discern times, timing, and what to do regarding the time. What, when, and how. Revelation (what is He saying?) and application (how do we apply this?). This is why God says in Ephesians 1:17 that we need a spirit of wisdom AND revelation.  This is what Solomon possessed. We think of him as having wisdom, but Solomon asked for and was given biyn  (1 Kings 3:9), understanding, wisdom, and discernment - revelation. The margin of my Bible says he asked for  “a hearing heart.”  This is also what Daniel possessed (Daniel 9:22-23). In verse 22, the angel Gabriel said, “I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding ( biyn )” (NASB). What a phrase - insight with understanding! That’s how we turn chaos into order and remove darkness with light! One of the gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12:28 is “helps,” as it is usually translated. The word comes from  antilepsis, (7)  meaning “to lay hold of.” This is why it is often translated as “helps” - one person taking hold of an object with another “helps” them. The Passion Translation, however, translates it as “gifts of revelation knowledge.” This was surprising to me. In their margin note, and I have confirmed this in other sources, they say that the word means not only “to lay hold of” but “to lay hold of revelation; to apprehend or perceive.”  One of the ways we help one another is through revelation, helping them hear what God is saying. Only then can we apply His strategy to His will. Both must occur.  When we know what God thinks about a situation, first and foremost from His Word but also by His Spirit, we can then say what He says. Remember, that’s how God dealt with chaos: He thought, imagined, conceived; then He said. And His words have creative power.  In yesterday’s post , I mentioned the New Testament word used for God creating all things:  ginomai (8)  (John 1:3, 10; Hebrews 11:3). The word means “to cause to be, become, or be created.” I also pointed out that He told us to  ginomai His will (Matthew 6:10) by commanding. Obviously, we don’t create matter or physical objects from nothing, as He did. We create or cause His will to be done, to manifest. And one of the ways we do so is by declaring His will and Word.  God and His Word are one. He is His Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). This is why His words are filled with such power - they flow from the essence of who He is. The Passion Translation states regarding Genesis 1:3, “God created light but did not create the sun until the fourth day. God Himself filled the universe with the light of His presence and glory.” (9)  Incredible! This same translation continues by explaining that “The Hebrew verbs used with the phrases ‘Let there be’ and ‘and there was’ are both related to the holy name Yahweh:  yehi (“let there be”) and  wayhi (“and there was”).” As Yahweh spoke, the essence of His creative being flowed from Him into the universe. The I AM released His nature with the words  “Light BE!” and light BECAME!  Truly, there is no one like our God! Pray with me: Lord, we are in chaotic and dark times, just like in Genesis 1. Just as You thought, imagined, and released Your plan, then, we know You have plans for our situation today. We know what some of those plans include: we know Your will is that no one is lost - You love them all; we know You have a great harvest planned all over the Earth; we know the Father has promised You the nations of Earth - they all belong to You; we know America shall be saved; we know You’re building an Ekklesia that the plans and counsels of hell cannot overcome; and we know we can declare the release of Your Kingdom authority, and the coming forth of Your will.  We align with Your will and declare worldwide harvest. We call forth such incredible revival that a billion or more people will come to Yeshua. We decree the salvation and restoration of America, including a transformed government. We call forth a youth revival in America and around the world that will result in millions of them coming to Christ. We decree the breaking of Baal’s strongholds over America. We call forth the fire of Holy Spirit and renewed passion into America’s churches.  We declare these things in Christ’s name and authority alone, Father. We humbly acknowledge that we have no other authority to do so, and that His will is what You honor. Of Him, to Him, and through Him are all things. And we acknowledge that Yours is the Kingdom and power and glory forever. We want You alone to be honored in all we do. Amen. Our decree: We decree that God is bringing order and light into the chaos and darkness of our time.
