The Files Are Being Discovered In yesterday’s post , I said: “I have been sensing that more exposure of corruption is coming in our government, at even greater levels than we have seen thus far. I also feel that President Trump and his team are about to make some very bold moves; again, more so than he has yet done. I am hearing from other leaders who are confirming this. One of those leaders senses that something significant will occur this week.”  I continue to feel this. These feelings were not initiated by what occurred in the Oval Office with Zelenskyy on Friday. They began in me a week or more ago. Will these bold moves by Trump and his team be related to this historical meeting in some way? Perhaps–this disagreement will influence much of what takes place on the world stage in the near future, and America will play a great role in this. However, I do not feel that the moves I’m sensing were generated by the meeting.  What I’m about to say is only a feeling I have, a sense, not a word from the Lord. Why share it if it’s only a guess? 1) Because I’m asking you to pray; and 2) if they bring turmoil, I don’t want you to be alarmed - God is at work. I believe something has been discovered by President Trump’s team (or several things), and is about to be shared, that will shake Washington, D.C., to its core.  At least three words from the Lord have been given to trusted individuals over the past couple of years which speak of God exposing incriminating “files” in our government. This may or may not refer to actual files; more than likely it simply refers to proof of corruption, regardless of the form in which it is found.  In January of 2024, Gina Gholston was given a dream (which I included in a post ) where people were attempting to shred files in the White House. These people were stopped before they could do so, and were arrested.  In July of last year, our friend Shirley Strand was given a vision regarding “files.” Here is a portion of what she said: “I saw government file cabinets all over D.C. and elsewhere. They were flung open and documents were flying out, multiple documents…God is exposing, big time. The Lord spoke to me and said ‘the cup of evil is full. Now I will stand up and deal with these people - I gave them time to repent, and they would not.’” The phrase “ the cup of iniquity is full ” relates to Genesis 15:16, in which the Lord promises Abraham the land of Canaan a second time. In this declaration God said that He would wait, however, until the sins of the Canaanites reached a level requiring their judgment. God knew this level of sin was coming, yet in His justice He waited until it had occurred. In Shirley’s vision, He stated that “the cup of evil was full” for many in our government.  Lastly, in 2022, my brother Tim Sheets had a dream involving files which he knew represented the uncovering of corruption in our government. Tim said: “I saw a very old, gray file cabinet, maybe four feet high. I somehow knew it was owned or was associated with a very prominent American family. This file cabinet was filled to capacity, crammed full with folders. Two men were flipping through all of the files, obviously looking for something. When they had looked through every file in the top drawer, they shook their head, not finding what they were looking for. They did the same with all four drawers, still not finding what they were looking for.  “Then, one of them said, ‘Let’s just take all the folders out of all the drawers. Let’s empty this file cabinet.’ And they began taking out all the files, stacking them up. As they did so, the man said, ‘Well, look here; there are files lying flat at the bottom of the drawers. They must have been hidden by all these other files that were standing up.’ “They pulled out these hidden files lying flat in the drawer, and shortly there after, one of them held up a file and declared, ‘This is what we’ve been looking for. Here it is.’ “At that point in the dream, the scene shifted, and the file cabinet transformed into a very large computer with an extra-large screen. As I viewed the screen, an image appeared and filled the screen. The image was of a very long line of dominoes, in the shape of an ‘S’. I knew it represented a snake. And as I watched, the last domino of the ‘snake’ began to slowly tip until it fell against the next domino. And of course, all the dominoes began to fall, one after the other, until the head was eventually knocked down.” I believe the significant uncovering of corruption mentioned in these dreams and visions has begun, and is about to reach a new level of accomplishment. When this occurs, justice will be severe. President Trump is in no mood to go easy on the corruption in our government, for several legitimate reasons: Firstly, he loves America and truly desires to turn it around, as do those working with him.  Secondly, for almost 10 years, the Left and America’s deep state have viciously and unjustly tried to destroy Trump, his family, and his associates. They hate and fear him because of the level of threat he has become to them. This hatred and fear generated unparalleled attempts to destroy and humiliate him. Trump is determined and ready to dole out justice.  Thirdly, the President wants his legacy to be “the person who was used to save America.” I believe he has accepted the prophecies stating God has chosen him to do this, and that this has added to his determination. And at his age - and in his last term of office - Trump has nothing to lose. I feel that he wants to finish his time on earth by accomplishing his greatest achievement: transforming America to greatness again and recapturing her destiny of being a force for good throughout the earth.  I believe “files” have been found, or will be very soon. And now that key positions on President Trump’s team are in place, look for the real action to begin…for dominoes to begin falling. I wouldn’t be surprised if something significant isn’t mentioned regarding this in tonight’s speech to Congress.   If I’m wrong about the timing, so be it. I am confident, however, that these exposures are coming–the files will be discovered, and the dominoes will fall. Let’s pray about this now. Pray with me: Father, You have protected and preserved the evidence that will expose significant evil and corruption in our government. We ask You to tip the dominoes until the head of the serpent is destroyed. The perpetrators believe they have covered their tracks and buried the evidence, but You have preserved the “files.” You have given individuals much time to repent; they have chosen instead to persevere in their evil ways. Many cups of iniquity are now full. Take action.  We ask for mercy wherever possible - You alone have the perfect blend of justice and mercy. Save and redeem, cleanse and restore, uncover and expose. We pray that wisdom, skill, and supernatural help be given to those responsible for discovery and prosecution. Bring forth whistleblowers with evidence, lead individuals to the right files, and restore integrity to America. Heal our nation and right the ship. We pray for America, Ukraine, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, and all the earth, “Thy kingdom come! Thy will be done, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Save and deliver, end suffering, remove evil leaders. We believe the earth is ripe for another great awakening; send it now, we pray.  Protect our nation’s leaders and their families. We pray for all of this in Jesus’ name.  Our decree: We decree that the files will be found, and the dominoes will fall.  Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Ornate Vessels and Vile Pottage I have been sensing that more exposure of corruption is coming in our government, at even greater levels than we have seen thus far. I also feel that President Trump and his team are about to make some very bold moves; again, more so than he has yet done. I am hearing from other leaders who are confirming this. One of those leaders senses that something significant is going to occur this week.  The Lord recently reminded Gina Gholston of a word she received a year ago, which is certainly coming to pass. It speaks of exposing evil and healing our nation. She feels the exposure it speaks of will continue. Here is that word: “The shroud and veil are being torn. What has bound and blocked will now be removed. I am pouring in the oil and wine of My Spirit to revive and re-life. What has been left for dead will now live, and freedom and light will prevail as I arise in and through My awakened body, the church.  “I have said, ‘Don’t count Me out!’ I am not finished with the work I have begun. I will finish it! I will turn things around.  “Feel the ground shake, but do not fear. Resurrection is happening. Hold fast to the faith that has been developed in you. It is a steadfast anchor that will not allow you to be removed. I will unearth hidden things . . . root systems that have kept evil agendas alive . . . and once I remove their source, I will pull them up and there will be sudden death to those agendas. Hear Me, I am removing their source, drying up their funds, and confusing their communications.  “‘How can this happen?’ they will say! Terror will fill their hearts at the recognition of their halted and exposed operations.  “The tilt is coming. I will overturn the kettle, and expose the vile pottage hidden in ‘ornate vessels’. A gullible focus on and submission to these ornate vessels has caused many to be captured and slowly poisoned by the carefully measured portions of propaganda and deception that have been ‘spoon-fed’ to them. Yet, they will be overwhelmed with shock and awe as I open their eyes to see beyond the ornate vessels and reveal to them the vile pottage. I will put a bitter taste in their mouths, and they will become frighteningly aware of the hidden ingredients contained in that which they once voluntarily consumed. Some will be overcome by great fear at the realization.   “Yes, I will deal with the root and expose the hidden things. But I will not leave you hopeless. I will replace the vile with the precious. I will pour in the wine and oil of My Spirit, and those who receive that which comes from Me will live. I will say to them, ‘Fear not! I am Healer. I am Deliverer. Humble yourself. Pray. Turn from your wicked ways. Seek Me, and I will be your Help and I will heal your land.’ “Shaking, breaking, uprooting . . . sudden death to an evil agenda. The swirl of My justice is beginning to spin. This is not to be feared. It will uncover, reveal, and expose so that life can come. Freedom…Light…Truth…I will prevail.” This has obviously proven to be accurate, and what it speaks of will continue.  I have been reflecting on the word Holy Spirit gave me in July of 2021. I knew that in allowing the election of 2020 to be stolen, God had a plan to expose and judge corruption in our government. Then the Lord led me to Exodus 14, where Yahweh rolled back the Red Sea for Israel and destroyed Pharaoh’s army. The first two verses of this chapter begin laying out the audacious plan of Yahweh.  “Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea’”  (Exodus 14:1-2). God wanted us to realize that HE chose the place for this dramatic Red Sea encounter, even though the meandering and rerouting of Israel gave Pharaoh the perception that they were confused and disoriented, wandering aimlessly in the desert. And geographically speaking, this “wandering” did indeed have them “trapped,” hemmed in by mountains, the sea and Pharaoh’s army. I will now destroy these Israelites with the help of my most powerful god, Baal-zephon,  Pharaoh thought. However, God, the all-wise strategist, orchestrated events to accomplish HIS plan.  As mentioned, Baal-zephon was one of the gods of Egypt. It was believed that Zephon had great power and was lord over the wind and sea. And…he was the only Egyptian god Yahweh had not yet exposed and judged during the 10 plagues and Israel’s deliverance. Scott Lancer, in an article for Associates for Biblical Research, (Confronting Baal Zephon: The Spiritual Message of the Meeting of Israel and the Armies of Egypt) says,   “Let us remember that God had been triumphing over not only Pharaoh and the Egyptians, but also the supposed power of their gods. The plagues were a drumbeat of victory as the gods of Egypt were, one by one, displayed to be impotent and powerless. And even more importantly, Yahweh wanted the Egyptians to know that He is the Lord” (14:4). (1) Pharaoh believed that his god was more powerful than Yahweh. He supposed that Baal-zephon had caused Israel’s confusion, led them into a trap, and would now aid him in destroying them - right in front of the high place named for him! “ How brilliant!” he was thinking. Yahweh had other plans. He would demonstrate that HE was the Lord of the wind and sea, not Zephon. He would not lead Israel AROUND the sea; Yahweh would actually lead His people THROUGH this sea, the Egyptians believed Zephon controlled. And rather than Israel being destroyed, it would be Pharaoh and the Egyptian army…in front of their “exposed” god! Through this amazing passage, the Lord spoke to me in 2021 that it pictured what was occurring in America. It appeared that we had lost, that  “the god of this world”  (2 Corinthians 4:4) had outsmarted and overpowered our God, and satan had fully taken over our nation. But as is so often eloquently stated, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” The wind is now blowing, the waters have parted, and Baal, along with his worshipers, is being exposed. The D.C. sewage is being smelled by the entire world. Run by crooks, liars, arrogant politicians, corrupt bureaucrats and phony patriots, its “ornate vessels” filled with “vile pottage” are now being uncovered. Some will finally see the evil of those they have followed, as Gina’s word indicated, and turn around. Others will drown in the sea of deception. I pray many of them will turn and be saved.  Pray with me: Father, You said in Gina’s word that You would “deal with the root and expose the hidden things. I will not leave you hopeless. I will replace the vile with the precious. I will pour in the wine and oil of My Spirit, and those who receive that which comes from Me will live. I will say to them, ‘Fear not! I am Healer. I am Deliverer. Humble yourself. Pray. Turn from your wicked ways. Seek Me, and I will be your Help and I will heal your land.’” You also said, “Shaking, breaking, uprooting. . .sudden death to an evil agenda. The swirl of My justice is beginning to spin. This is not to be feared. It will uncover, reveal, and expose so that life can come. Freedom. . .Light. . .Truth. . .I will prevail.” We know these things are occurring and we thank You.  Whatever else transpires, we are confident You are moving through our prayers. We will not be shaken; we will not fear. Please continue to do as You said, tearing the shroud and ripping the veil. “Unearth hidden things . . . root systems that have kept evil agendas alive . . . and remove their source. Pull them up and bring sudden death to those agendas, drying up their funds and confusing their communications.” Then pour in the oil and wine. So be it! Our decree: We decree that the veil of darkness and evil is being torn off of America, and the light of truth is shining.  Click on the link below to watch the full video. https://biblearchaeology.org/research/devotionals/3794-confronting-baalzephon-the-spiritual-message-of-the-meeting-of-israel-and-the-armies-of-egypt

Our Prayers Are Being Answered Yesterday, President Trump asked Scott Turner, HUD Secretary and former Associate Pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church (Plano, TX), to open the first cabinet meeting of this term with prayer. Here is Mr. Turner’s prayer: “Father, we thank You for this awesome privilege to be in Your presence. God, thank You that You have allowed us to see this day. The Bible says that Your mercies are new every morning. Father God, we give You the glory and the honor. Thank You, God, for President Trump, and for appointing us…thank You for anointing us to do this job.  “Father, we pray You will give the President, the Vice President, wisdom as they lead. Father, I pray for all of my colleagues who are here, around the table, and in this room. Lord God, we pray that we will lead with righteous clarity. Father God, as we serve the people of this country and every perspective agency, every job that we have, Father, we would humble ourselves before You and [ask that] we would lead in [the] manner You have called us to lead and to serve.  “Father, the Bible says, ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.’ Father, we today honor You…in Your rightful place. Father, thank You for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America. And Lord God, today in our meeting, we pray that You would be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.” (1) I have prayed to see this for over 30 years. I hope believers know the true ramifications of God being honored by our government. The Lord places tremendous weight on the decisions of leaders.  In 2 Samuel 24:1-17, David’s sin of conducting a census brought great devastation to all of Israel. God had forbidden this, not because censuses in and of themselves are bad, but because it indicated that Israel’s faith was no longer in Him for protection. It was vital that Israel’s trust remained in Him - the salvation of the world depended on this. David’s heart had now become filled with pride and self-dependence. God had to stop this. David later repented, but 70,000 Israelites died because of David’s pride, presumption, disobedience, and independent spirit.  In 2 Samuel 21:1, we’re told that a famine was plaguing Israel under David’s reign. When he asked the Lord why this was occurring, God said it was because his predecessor, Saul, had shed the blood of innocent Gibeonites. The shedding of innocent blood by a previous king in Israel was allowing a curse to operate generationally.  In Numbers 14:20, Moses interceded for Israel, and God said, “I have pardoned them according to your word.”  On another occasion in Exodus 32:14, God relented from judgment against Israel in response to Moses’ intercession.  In still another famous passage, Moses had come off of Mount Sinai, the mountain of the Lord, only to find Israel worshipping the golden calf they had fashioned (Exodus 32). One can only wonder at the fragile faith of these Israelites after the great miracles and amazing deliverance Yahweh had performed for them. Yet it was true; they had wavered in their trust of Him and decided that perhaps Baal was the way to go, after all. A portion of the story that often goes untold, however, is Aaron’s part in the sin.  Moses left Aaron in charge while he was away with Joshua on the mountain receiving God’s law and Israel’s constitution (Exodus 24:14). When they returned and found Israel involved in the great idolatry, both Moses and God laid the responsibility squarely on Aaron: “Then Moses said to Aaron, ‘What did this people do to you, that you have brought such great sin upon them?’”  (Exodus 32:21 NASB)  “Now when Moses saw that the people were out of control—for Aaron had let them get out of control to be a derision among their enemies…“  (verse 25, NASB) The first reference is Moses speaking; the second isn’t a quote from him, making it God doing the speaking. The idolatry was not originally Aaron’s idea, so he wasn’t being accused of that. He did participate in making the idol, but his responsibility was much greater than that. Aaron was being held responsible for not stopping it! Obviously, He could not have personally overpowered the mob that wanted to do this. Therefore, the Scriptures are clearly stating that had he made a righteous stand and said, “No! We are not doing this!” the Lord would have somehow backed him up, just as He always did Moses. And indeed, He did back up Moses when he showed up and put a stop to it. Let the ramifications of this sink in: God was holding the leader responsible for the sinful actions of the people.  “Aaron, you could have stopped this! I would have supported you had you stood for Me.” As a leader, this is very sobering.  Finally, on the positive or blessing side of the equation, let’s remember that the Scriptures state, “When the righteous rule, the people rejoice” (Proverbs 29:2). And “Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord”  (Psalm 33:12; 144:15). Make no mistake about it: the actions of leaders affect the people they lead. Pray that this atmosphere of honor toward the Lord in Trump’s cabinet continues and increases. I’m asking God for a move of Holy Spirit to break out in all areas of our government, including, of course, the White House. Why shouldn’t we ask for this?! I don’t care what it looks like. I’m not asking that it be “charismatic” in its flavor and style, just that it includes salvations, a passion for God, and a love of His Word. Let’s ask for it now.  Pray with me: Father, thank You for a President who will ask for prayer, requesting Your presence and blessings on his cabinet meetings. Thank You that there are members of his team who know You well enough to pray this prayer. We know there are several true believers on the President’s team; thank You for placing them there.  We join them in humbling ourselves before You, asking for Your presence and anointing. We ask for this not only in the White House and other government meetings, but also for our entire nation. Hover over America, releasing Your power to bring the transformation we need. Cause a mighty revival to take place in the government of America. Cleanse, transform, and bring about true relationships with You. We declare in intercession, “You are welcome in this nation…everywhere!” Protect those in our government from harm, as well as their families and staff. Keep them under the “Iron Dome” shield of faith. And protect our nation from the evil individuals - both within and outside our government - who want to divide us. This is disgusting and a great evil; please remove their voices and heal our land of this division.  And Lord, continue to expose fraud, theft, and corruption in our government. Reveal the hypocrisy of those who oppose it. Please remove them. All of this we ask in Yeshua’s name, for He is our access to You. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that He who has begun a good work in America will finish it.  Click on the link below to watch the full video. https://charismanews.com/news/trumps-first-cabinet-meeting-prayer-thank-you-for-anointing-us/

The Matrix, Part 2 Yesterday  we spoke of prayer that “births” or brings forth God’s will and purposes. This prayer is sometimes referred to in Scripture as travail, not just because it can be hard work, but also because of the birthing aspect. We mentioned Isaiah 66:8, which speaks of travail that produces sons and daughters, and Galatians 4:19, which refers to it in the context of birthing maturity in believers. Today, I want to address another fascinating word that connects our prayers to birthing God’s will on the earth. It is first used in Genesis one. “And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2)  The Hebrew word used for “moved,”  rachaph , is very interesting. One of its primary meanings is “to brood over.” (1)  The Amplified translation actually uses the phrase  “was moving, hovering, brooding over.” The margin of the New American Standard Bible also uses the word “hovering.” Rachaph  is hovering or brooding over something.  But there is more to this word’s meaning. Webster’s Dictionary defines “brood” as “offspring; progeny; that which is bred or produced.” (2)  It comes from the root word “breed,” which we know means to procreate. In using this term to describe Holy Spirit’s work at creation, God uses the analogy of procreating and birthing. He was creating or bringing forth life. A Hebrew scholar once confirmed this to me, stating that  rachaph is indeed a reproductive term that can refer to the literal act of procreating. Pretty graphic, but it confirms that rachaph is literally a reproductive term. One lexicon defined the word as “brooding and fertilizing.” (3) We know from the New Testament that it was Jesus who called forth life in this Genesis setting. We are told that all things were created by His words (see John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16). But Holy Spirit was working with Him, brooding or hovering over the earth, releasing His creative power at the words of Jesus, “giving birth to” what Christ spoke.  Psalm 90:2 confirms this analogy, referring to what Holy Spirit did at Creation as a birthing.  “Before the mountains were born [yalad], or Thou didst give birth to [chuwl] the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.”  Although the words are not translated as such in this verse,  yalad  and  chuwl  are also the primary Hebrew words for travail. They are translated with various synonymous words or phrases: “bring forth,” “born,” “give birth to,” “travail,” (4-5)  and others (see Deuteronomy 32:18; Job 15:7; 39:1 for examples). Regardless of how they are translated, it is easy to see that the concept is giving birth to something. And, of course, as with Psalm 90:2, they are not always referring to a literal, physical birth but simply to creating something, just as we do when saying an idea, vision, or nation was “born” or “conceived.” Now, let’s make the prayer connection. These are the same two words used in Isaiah 66:8:  “As soon as Zion travailed [chuwl] she also brought forth [yalad] her sons.” What Holy Spirit did in Genesis when He “brought forth” or “gave birth to” the earth is what He wants to do through our prayers: “birth” God’s will in situations. As I said in yesterday‘s post , we do not have the inherent power to produce the will of God in situations. We do, however, have within us He who does possess this power, the Holy Spirit. And He is released through our prayers. The New Testament also uses a word that speaks of Holy Spirit hovering around or overshadowing individuals ( episkiazo ) to release His power and life. (6)  The word is used in Luke 1:35 to describe Him doing so over Mary to conceive Christ in her. It is also used in Acts 5:15 to describe what was happening when Peter was ministering God’s healing power. We often interpret the passage as meaning that Peter’s shadow healed people (see Acts 5:15). What it is actually saying, however, is that Holy Spirit was hovering around or overshadowing individuals in order to heal them, as Peter ministered. This concept need not be overly mystical or ethereal. The point is simply that the Holy Spirit’s power is released through our prayers to bring forth the will of God in situations. No, He is not our errand boy or puppet, and we do not command Him. However, He does perform and release God’s will, and one of the ways this occurs is through our prayers. Allow this truth to generate faith in you. Allow it to strengthen your heart and resolve. Be conscious of the fact that Holy Spirit has been sent to help you produce God’s will in situations. You are not helpless; you have a powerful Helper (John 14:16,26; 15:26; 16:7). What an amazing promise! In my prayers, I frequently ask Holy Spirit to hover around people or places and bring forth God’s plan. Where nations are concerned, Holy Spirit hovers over them to bring revival. He releases His power to convict, lift the veil of deception, and reveal Jesus to people. This is what it means for Him to “rend the heavens…and come down” (Isaiah 64:1). When we ask Him for revival, we are asking Him to hover over cities, regions, and nations to bring forth life.  We ask Him to hover over or overshadow diseased people and release miracles. When we ask God to shift those in government, we are asking Holy Spirit to hover around them and transform their thinking. Ask Him to do this.  Ask Him to hover in our schools, on our campuses, in dorms and classrooms. And yes, ask Holy Spirit to hover in our churches, bringing forth a great awakening to believers. Let’s do so now.  Pray with me: Father, thank You for our wonderful and all-powerful Helper, Holy Spirit; He whose infinite power created the heavens and the earth with its intricate detail and beauty. We are amazed at this title and role of Holy Spirit: our “Helper.” Cause this role of His to be a much stronger revelation to us. Remind us that we do not have to operate in our own strength and power as we pray and deal with life’s issues. We actually have the Creator within us! Today, we ask that He be sent to hover over America and other nations of the earth. Send Holy Spirit to release revelation, conviction, enlightenment, and power to save millions. Fill the atmospheres of nations with His reviving power. Release Him to hover over cities and regions, over schools and campuses. We know that Holy Spirit’s overshadowing releases revival. Please do this. We here in America ask for Holy Spirit to hover over the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court. Change people’s thinking in these government positions to align with Your will and ways; cause many of them to be born again. Send a true revival to the government of America. And Father, we ask that Holy Spirit would move, hovering in our churches to release power and birth life. Release His fire, conviction, and first-love passion. Release signs, wonders, and miracles. Send a third great awakening to America, starting with our churches. We believe You will do this, and we thank You for it, in the name of Jesus. Our decree:  We decree that the power of Holy Spirit is birthing the greatest revival earth has ever seen, and He is using the prayers of the Ekklesia to do so.

The Matrix “Before she [Zion] travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.” (Isaiah 66:7-9) “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (Galatians 4:19) The words “birth” or “birthing” are often used not only to describe bringing forth offspring, but in the creation or production of something new. This could be an idea, a policy, an invention, or even a nation. In prayer circles the words are sometimes used to describe producing an outcome through our prayers.  The Bible uses many analogies of the natural realm depicting spiritual truths, such as “moving mountains” through our prayers and faith, “planting” God’s Word in our hearts, or being “born again.” In this same way, we speak of “birthing” things through prayer. “Travail,” another word associated with the natural birthing process, is also used in the context of prayer. In the opening passages, travail is used to describe birthing a nation – Isaiah 66:7-9 is often associated with prayer – and of travailing to birth maturity in believers. Though prayer can certainly be hard work, often involving persistent “labor” and at times tears and groaning, these physical aspects are not the primary reason the word travail was chosen. It was used because the “laboring” done in prayer was “birthing” something in the spirit. Spiritual power - not just physical energy - was being released to “give birth” to occurrences in the spiritual realm.  As sometimes occurs, many who have been associated with the concept of travailing prayer have made physical manifestations the focal point (hard work, groanings, weepings, crying out, etc.). We have failed to remember that the primary point of using the word travail is that something is being birthed. The reason for this mistake is simple, but no less harmful: we are physical beings, live in a physical world, and are informed through our five physical senses. It is very easy for us to at times over-emphasize the physical realm.  For example, Charismatics and Pentecostals have a phenomenon they often call being “slain in the Spirit.” Although this is not a biblical phrase, and the practice is certainly abused, I believe people can and do fall under the power of God. Many in these circles, however, over-emphasize it, believing that those who fall down are receiving more from the Lord than those who do not. Some assume, even if only unconsciously, that nothing is happening to those who don’t fall, judging what is taking place in the spirit realm  by what they see in the natural.  This is dangerous and leads to extremes, imbalanced practices, and wrong expectations.  With any spiritual release of power, the possibility of a physical manifestation or impact always exists - that is biblical. People may weep, fall down under the power of God, laugh, even appear drunk. But we should never judge what is occurring in the spiritual realm only by what we observe in the natural - including with the subject of prayer!  When Paul said he was “travailing” in order to see Christ formed in the Galatians (4:19), he was not necessarily groaning, crying out, weeping, etc. over them as a woman might do in her travail. He may have at times, because he prayed for them intensely. But he was making the point that he worked or labored diligently in prayer to bring forth their maturity. The Passion Translation refers to Paul’s travail in this verse as “spiritual ‘labor pains.’” The emphasis was on spiritual  passion, not the body’s  response. Paul said elsewhere of Epaphras that he was “laboring earnestly” in prayer for the Colossians (4:12 NASB). Same concept. Both Paul and Epaphras were praying earnestly and passionately in order to “give birth to” spiritual  realities.  Prayer that “births” spiritually can occur whether or not a physical manifestation occurs. We can do so when walking, kneeling, driving, doing housework, mowing the grass, preparing for our day, or in a prayer meeting. Anytime we are releasing the power of Holy Spirit to bring forth His life and victories, we are “giving birth.” If the prayer becomes more intense, involving weeping or crying out, find an appropriate place and let it happen. But do NOT assume you have given birth to spiritual life only when this occurs.  Holy Spirit Wants To Use Us! We truly are God’s “birthers” on earth. The Holy Spirit wants to “bring forth” life through us. Jesus said of believers in John 7:38: “From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.”  Interestingly, “innermost being” is the word koilia  which means a womb or matrix. (1)  The church is the “womb” of God upon the earth from which He releases the power of Holy Spirit in order to bring forth life. We are not the source  of life, but we are carriers  of the source of life. We do not generate  life, but through prayer we  release  Him who does. As we mentioned, Galatians 4:19, speaks of prayer being used to “birth” maturity in new Christians. Many years ago when the Lord first began emphasizing this truth to me, I was counseling 4-5 very troubled individuals. Three of them were suicidal (they were also seeing professional counselors). Some days I was spending hours with these people, trying to help them through their pain and distress. There were occasions when they called me at very critical moments, saying they were planning to take their lives right then. I remember one calling me at 2:00 A.M, saying, “I have a gun to my head right now…” Trying to help several people in this condition made this a stressful season, to say the least.  One day during my prayer time, Holy Spirit spoke these words to me very clearly: “If you spent a fraction of the time releasing My power to these individuals by praying for them, as you do talking to them, you would see many times the results.” I know a good deal when I hear it!  I began spending a couple of hours every day praying for these people. This may sound like a lot of time, but I was spending more than this “counseling” them. I would simply say, “Father, I bring [their names] before You now, asking that as I pray, Holy Spirit will be released to go and hover around them, bringing forth Christ’s victory and nature in them.” Then I would usually just pray in the Spirit. I began seeing results immediately. Breakthroughs began occurring in them quickly. Almost overnight, bondages began breaking, mindsets began changing, and healing began. It was remarkable. What was taking place? The power of Holy Spirit was being released through the prayer to “birth” spiritual growth in these individuals. Strongholds were broken, deception was removed, revelation was born, and truth began its work of making them free (John 8:32). We have been doing this for America, birthing transformation with our prayers! Power has been released EVERY TIME we have prayed for our nation and the nations: weakening strongholds, lifting the veil off of evil to expose its hiding places, and even positioning the right individuals to bring about change. Don’t let up, we are winning.  Do this also for your family members and friends. Don’t be hesitant. You are not being disrespectful or telling Holy Spirit what to do as you pray with boldness or make decrees. You are releasing Him from your spirit to do what He desperately wants to do. Holy Spirit loves to save, deliver, and set captives free; He loves to fulfill the mission statement of Jesus in Luke 4:18-19:   “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord” (KJV).  Let’s pray now.  Pray with me: Father, You rebuked the Corinthian Church for acting like “mere men,” (1 Corinthians 3:3; NASB), acting as though they were “only human.” We are NOT only human; we are humans filled with Your Holy Spirit; we are sons and daughters of You, the all-powerful God, carriers of Your life and power. You desire to use us to birth change on the earth, just as You did through Jesus and the early church.  You have been raising up a company of believers who understand this. Though they are still a remnant, they are a growing remnant, now comprised of millions of believers around the world. This remnant has been birthing things in the natural realm by releasing Your power in the spiritual  realm and will continue to do so. We release Your power, light, and life into our world today. We ask that You continue to expose evil, overthrow the strongholds of darkness, and liberate captives - here in America and around the world. Shatter strongholds of evil. Continue to transform America and other nations. You are using our prayers to birth revival, and once again we call it forth today, allowing the power of Holy Spirit to issue forth from our obedient prayers and decrees. We will not be intimidated by lies and accusations accusing us of trying to manipulate You; we are obeying  and partnering  with You. All of this we pray in Yeshua’s name.  Our decree: We decree that the purposes of God are being released around the world through the prayers of the Ekklesia.

Redefine, Realign, and Restore My brother, Tim Sheets, shared a powerful word from the Lord in 2021. I feel it is important for today, and follows the post I shared on Friday . This will encourage you greatly. He says: “Recently, I have sensed there is a strategy that Holy Spirit wants to emphasize.   He is doing something supernaturally that God has planned. The Ekklesia, His body through which He speaks and acts, is here to represent Christ’s base of power on the earth. Seated with Him in His Kingdom’s government (as Ephesians 2:6 describes), it arises to affect society, culture, laws, and earth’s government. This is a spiritual Kingdom, headquartered in heaven, where Jesus is enthroned to rule and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. His representatives on earth will now function at higher levels of efficiency.   “We occupy the seats with Christ spiritually in heaven’s government, but we can also occupy the seats in the natural governments of the earth. This is a restoration of what He said in Genesis 1 and 2 we are to do as part of the dominion mandate. Holy Spirit is calling some of our sons and daughters to run for seats in government, representing Him without compromising. He is especially grooming the millennials to unseat antichrist rulers. Young Davids are going to replace some Sauls.   “As I was praying into our times,” Tim says, “Holy Spirit said to me, ‘Redefine, Realign and Restore.’ I then began to hear the sound of bones cracking in the spirit realm. I heard the popping of bones and joints coming into place. Upon hearing this, I remembered a story from my childhood.   “My dad, along with local pastors, often conducted healing services. At one of these meetings, a man was pushed into the church in a wheelchair. His body was twisted, misshapen, and slumped to one side. Dad and the other pastors gathered around him and began to pray (see Mark 16: 15-18). As they prayed, I started to hear popping and cracking sounds as the man began to twitch, move, and shake. I watched him unwind in his wheelchair as his limbs straightened and his body realigned. I saw what appeared to be a hopeless condition suddenly change. A ‘no way’ became a ‘God way’ as hopelessness realigned.   “After pondering this occurrence, the Lord said to me:  “‘My Ekklesia kingdom hubs will now begin to see miracles of realignment in people’s lives, government, and culture. This will be an era of miraculous realignment. I have planned for My Ekklesia hubs to bring realignment to their regions through outpourings of increased power of Holy Spirit moving upon them and within them. I will realign the twisted, the disjointed, and the misshapen. I will realign government and culture through my power, erupting in My Ekklesia volcanic-like hubs. I will press, I will push, I will pull. I will realign as my Ekklesias activate governing decrees. I am activating angels of alignment to assist the supernatural alignment of regions, states, and nations. Angels of alignment are partnering with the prayers of My Ekklesia to accomplish the order of King Jesus. They are moving in unseen ways, to bring forth in seen ways, realignment with proper purpose, realignment with what I say, realignment with My Kingdom’s government and My ways.    “‘For the set time has come for the generation of young reformers to align with remnant reformers of all generations, to reform My purpose and revive My works.  Reformers are being formed. Reformers are rising in Holy Spirit power to declare realignment. This will erupt suddenly. I will validate it with explosive energy flowing through the generations of My Ekklesia. There will now come a functioning church in the midst of the dysfunction. Multiplied grace is being poured upon it. Bound, twisted souls will unwind. Bound, misshaped hearts will be reshaped, reborn, freed. Twisted destiny will be reformed and aligned with My purpose. Hearts bound in disillusion will awaken and beat with meaning. The blind and the aimless will see with focused vision clear pathways before them. They will be liberated from hell’s bondage as the revival of ingathering now leaps into being.   “‘For the synergized generations, in sync with angel armies, will be soaked in the fresh rains of heaven and will leap forward into great revival. It will accelerate in power, passion, and purity. I will validate it with signs, wonders, and miracles.  Notable miracles will leap into your families. Transformation will leap into prodigals. Notable miracles are leaping into your regions. The revival in the womb of My kingdom will leap into being. It’s leaping from those who have been in travail. Leap into your future. Forerunners, run! Run through the doors of opening and into the new era I have planned. Run to align your region with My Word. Generations, run into the outpourings of heaven.   “‘For I am transforming and realigning the territorial domain of My Ekklesia hubs into opportunity zones of My kingdom. The name of their cities in their natural realms will be superseded by a new spirit name of My kingdom’s definition.  Deliverance city. Healing city. Miracle city. Resource city. Restoration city. Grace city. Glory city. Mercy city. Revelation city. Resurrection city. Joy city. Compassion city. Wisdom city. Hope city. Redefinition will come to regions rooted with My Ekklesias and I will realign their territories to my defining purpose. I will bring a new identity and great blessings to the regions. The grace on my Ekklesia will now accelerate and it will validate that My kingdom is among them. My rule protects them, and My power sustains them. My presence fills them, and My glory surrounds them. Those who rule with Me will see their regions realign. They will participate in supernatural realignments that I have planned.’”   Tim says,   “Holy Spirit is resetting our way of thinking. We need to think with an authoritative, ruling, reigning, and governmental mindset. He wants us to think spiritually minded thoughts, functioning with wisdom in a natural world.     “While our emphasis is on the nation’s realignment with our God, perhaps you need realignment in your own life today. This word also pertains to you. Souls that are bound and twisted with the lies of the enemy will unwind. Misshaped hearts will be reshaped, reborn, and freed. Twisted destiny will be reformed and aligned with His purpose. Hearts that are bound in disillusionment will awaken and beat with meaning. You will have a focused vision and clear pathways before you. You will see signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.”   Pray with me:     Father God, let Your Ekklesia around this nation and world rise with great fire, passion, and purity. Realign us for a move of Holy Spirit on the earth like we’ve never seen before. Realign us for revival. Realign us to unseat the antichrist agendas and those who represent them, and replace them with the sons and daughters of God - locally, regionally, and nationally. Release Your power into the atmosphere of this nation and transform it. Realign culture and government through Your power. Release angel armies to accelerate Your kingdom. Restore geographical regions and territories to Your defining purpose. Bring new identity and great blessings to the regions.   Father, accelerate Your grace on Your Ekklesia and validate that Your Kingdom is among them. Let Your rule protect them, and Your power sustain them. May Your presence fill them and Your glory surround them. We declare we will align and become who we are supposed to be.   And Father, release miracles of realignment in our nation and in people’s lives throughout the earth. We decree realignment in the destiny of prodigals. Unwind twisted hearts and those who are bound in their souls. Let us see visible miracles and manifestations of Your power. In Jesus’ name. Amen.   Our decree:    We decree that God is redefining, realigning, and restoring His people, His Ekklesia, and our nation!  Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim Sheets.

Connecting with Heaven I received interesting and insightful feedback from our dear friend, Jean Steffenson, regarding a couple of recent posts, one of them being   yesterday’s .  Here is an edited version of Jean’s texts: “Dutch, I am so encouraged by today’s Give Him 15 regarding the connection between the natural and spiritual, and the two of them coming into alignment or proper harmony. I, too, have been thinking of this for some time when hearing of Israel’s Iron Dome. I’ve actually been seeing in the spirit a “glory dome” placed over America, made of laser-like light and which dispels darkness, destroying all evil coming against this nation.  “Education is another example. Natural change is occurring, picturing spiritual change that also needs to occur. Trump wants education to go from the Federal Government back to the states, as it should, and God wants it realigned as well, back into harmony with Him and with the family (Isaiah 54:13). “Money is another area that must realign. The natural wealth of this nation must be rescued from alignment with evil, from being wasted and used corruptly. We must pray and believe that great wealth will be removed from the kingdom of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of light. I keep seeing God judging and dethroning the false gods of America. Heaven and earth are working together. Our prayers and decrees have prepared the way for President Trump and his administration to deal with the spirit of mammon and other evils.  “Trump doesn’t know he is indirectly confronting the false gods (demons) behind the evil ruling much of our government. But he has been set in position by God in the natural realm, and the Ekklesia has been positioned alongside him in the spiritual to take America back from the rule of evil. Neither can do what is needed without the other. The government of God is going to a higher level, and will determine who rules our nation.” Well said.  Regarding this alignment of heaven and earth, Jesus instructed us to pray accordingly, asking for His Kingdom to come and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven  (Matthew 6:10). One cannot believe the Bible and assert that God doesn’t want to influence earthly governments…or education, business, the family, etc. What an absurd and ridiculous contention. The God who made us doesn’t want involvement in our world? Of course He does! All of it. He wants as much heaven on earth as He can get.  Connecting with Heaven You won’t find the words “align” or “alignment” in most English translations of Scripture, but you will absolutely find the concept. One of the Greek words that includes this meaning of proper connection and alignment is katartizo .(1) It is used in the context of connecting or realigning various things: nets (Matthew 4:21), relationships (1 Corinthians 1:10), fallen believers back to God and the body of Christ (Galatians 6:1), the ages of time (Hebrews 11:3), and more. God wants harmony, connection, and alignment with the earth, with us, and us with one another. In Matthew 6:10 above, the passage we call “The Lord’s Prayer,” God makes clear that He wants to heal the disconnections, the dislocations, between heaven and earth. “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” ( The Greek wording actually states that we are not only to ask for this, but also to  command it for God.) Through prayer, we would be the connecting agents of His will and Kingdom, manifesting here on earth, just as it does in heaven. God wants His will to manifest in our government, our education system, homes, businesses - every aspect of all the earth.  He uses our prayers to accomplish this. Isaiah 58:12 goes so far as to make the profound statement that through fasting and prayer, we are healers of history.  “And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in” (KJV). Our fasting, prayers, and repentance bring heaven to earth, allowing God to heal breaches that occurred in history - both between Him and us, and also between people - bringing realignment and reconnection.  Unfortunately, America has experienced a significant disconnection from God and loss of His will. This has affected every area of our society. We are now in the process of healing the breach, reconnecting and realigning America with Heaven - kartartizo.  As we do so, the natural will reflect the spiritual once again. God’s will and ways will be seen in our government, our schools, our homes, etc. Keep praying for this to occur. And by the way, don’t try to tell God who to use. He absolutely does reserve the right to determine whom He uses, and He certainly uses unbelievers at times to implement His will and ways.  A Final Thought As President Trump, Musk, and DOGE are used to answer our prayers by exposing fraud and removing wasteful spending, there will, unfortunately be government employees lose their jobs who have done nothing wrong. Many of those being terminated haven’t been actively seeking to give taxpayers’ money to crazy DEI and “woke” causes. I am glad for the downsizing of our government, just as President Clinton did in the 90s when he dismissed 400,000 government employees. But I’m also praying for the innocent and unfortunate individuals who will be adversely impacted; it will not be easy for many. Pray for them, their spouses, and children. Ask God to give them grace as they make difficult transitions, and that they find employment quickly in the private sector. Remember, mercy is also a manifestation of heaven on earth. Pray with me: Father, America has been out of alignment, disconnected from You. You offered heaven’s will, we chose hell’s. In intercession, we repent on behalf of our nation and are now inviting Your will to come to our land. Heal our breaches. Bring heaven to our government, schools, children, homes, families, churches - Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.  Use President Trump and Elon Musk to remove the idol of mammon from our government. You said the love of money is the root of all evil. Surely, America has become a picture of this. Deliver us from this evil and bring heaven to earth. And even though we ask You to use these men and other individuals, our faith is not in them; it is in You. We know that only a massive return to You will truly and fully save America. Please send revival. And lastly, we pray for those who have been and will be displaced through the downsizing of our government. Please motivate them to turn to You as this occurs; give them peace, grace, and provision during this challenging time. Cause Americans to come together, not be further divided. Help us to love and serve one another. Amen. Our decree:  We decree that America is being realigned with the Kingdom of God, and His rule and will are coming to our land.  Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Introduction I love many of the church’s hymns. However, some of my greatest memories from the early days of the Charismatic/Jesus People Movements are singing the praise and worship “choruses,” as we called them. We referred to them as such because they were typically short, like the chorus of a hymn. Some were only one word, like the Hallelujah chorus. They rarely had verses.  The simplicity of these songs was part of Holy Spirit’s brilliant plan. The young generation of that era rebelled against extravagance and form; we wanted things simple and real, sometimes to a fault, like living in communes and wearing few clothes! When we came to Jesus, the Holy Spirit gave us simple songs.  We also had rejected authority, the establishment - including, unfortunately, our parents and their traditions. We didn’t want their hymns. So when we came to Christ He simply said, “Give ‘em some simple choruses for now. They’ll come around.” And His most brilliant aspect of the plan was that He put in the hearts of our generation to use the Bible as our songbook. “We don’t need those fancy hymnals,” we boasted. “We sing the Bible!” Little did we know He was using this singing of His Word to renew our minds, remove our rebellion, and feed us on the bread of life. Holy Spirit is so smart! One of my favorite “choruses” of the day was taken from Psalm 20:6-8: “Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy Heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.”  (AKJV) The primary portion of the song was verse 7, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”  It drove into my heart the revelation that we must look to the Lord first for our provision, protection and strength. We would do well to remember this today.  “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain”  (Psalm 127:1; AKJV). Ben Franklin quoted this verse from Psalm 127 at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 when suggesting more prayer was needed for wisdom and to overcome disagreements and other obstacles. We must remember its message today. My friend, Jay Comiskey, sent me the following information to encourage us as we build a protective prayer “dome” over America. It is entitled: THE IRON DOME SHIELD OF INTERCESSION In 2024, the Israeli Military (IDF) demonstrated a remarkable air defense system to protect their people. Guy Cohen, a Messianic Jewish leader from Israel, described this remarkable system: “Israel now has a multi-layered defense array. Our current system is surprisingly effective against almost all attacks from missiles, rockets, and UAVs. The IDF armor consists of the following defensive weapons: The Iron Dome, David’s Sling and The Arrow defense system. They each cover various distances, from close-range missiles all the way up to threats at the edge of the atmosphere. Currently, yet another level is being developed - laser technology.” (1) As you know, Israel has been attacked by several enemies over the past 16 months. From Hamas in the South, to Hezbollah in the North, including the nation of Iran, multiple thousands of rockets and missiles have been fired at Israel.   Miraculously, very few of these weapons have reached their target. Israel has been amazingly spared much death or damage. How? The Jewish people worked relentlessly (with the USA) to develop these Iron Dome Systems to protect their nation from evil missiles and rockets. They have won the defensive battle for their country. This has allowed their military to go on the offensive  and severely cripple Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran! On January 27, 2025, President Trump announced, we “need an Iron Dome for the USA!” He repeated this call in February. (2) Sometimes the Lord uses “signs, wonders and other indicators” in the natural to help us see a parallel truth in the spiritual realm. 1 Corinthians 15:46: “However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.” Israel has once again become an important SIGN to God’s Ekklesia in America: It is time to build and operate our own Iron Dome Shield of Intercession over our Country! The Holy Spirit is calling us to partner with Him in building a mighty Iron Dome system of prayer and intercession to protect President Trump, his agenda, and our country . I believe God’s Prayer Army is at a unique place of maturity to build this spiritual Iron Dome of protection for America and all the nations. In Dutch’s book, Watchman Prayer , Chapter 7 is entitled “ Armed and Loaded with Prayer .” He shares how our prayers build strategic boundaries. Our job as watchmen and women is to protect and empower God’s purposes on earth. I believe Holy Spirit is giving His people profound wisdom and revelation from the Scriptures to protect America.  Here are some powerful building blocks to operate an effective spiritual  defense system throughout our land: All Authority … Matthew 28:18: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Luke 10:19: “ Behold, I give you the authority …   over all the authority of the enemy , and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” The Alpha and Omega Revelation 1:8: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Exceedingly Abundantly Above … Ephesians 3:20: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” No weapon formed against you Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.” Angel Armies Psalm 103:20-21 (NLT): “Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! The Lord is teaching us how to build His spiritual “Iron Dome Shield” over America. Ask for wisdom and revelation from Holy Spirit regarding what to PRAY and DECREE into a current reality over President Trump and all those in authority. He will give you insight. There is a clichè in football that says, “Defense wins Championships.”  Let us build a defensive “Iron Dome Shield” over our country that will cause “America to be saved.” Pray with me: Father, as we build the protective prayer dome over America, give us willing hearts and hearing ears. Motivate intercessors and faithful believers throughout our nation to take seriously the warnings about praying for protection over America. Remind us that we can see our “turning point” take place this spring if we use the weapons of prayer mentioned in   yesterday‘s post . We will not make the mistake of placing our trust only in our government or military. We want and need wise leaders and a strong military, but our first and foremost trust is in You, not “horses and chariots.” We have prayed over America’s borders and waterways; we have obeyed other instructions telling us how and when to pray. We now make bold declarations of faith that we will continue to build and fortify Your protective dome/shield, and we will keep it in place through our prayers and decrees.  We declare that America shall be saved, both physically and spiritually. America shall be revived, restored, and reformed. She will pick up her mantle once again of being an evangelist to the world, funding, resourcing, and taking the gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth. Amen. Our decree:  We decree that though some trust in chariots and some in horses, we will remember the name of the Lord our God!   Click on the link below to watch the full video. https://www.tikkunglobal.org/post/iron-dome-and-the-full-armor-of-god   https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-signs-executive-order-to-develop-american-made-iron-dome-missile-shield/

When Kings Go to War Yesterday, I shared two urgent, credible prayer requests for America; you can find them here . Thank you for praying, and please continue to do so. I want to share another prayer request today, based on a dream given to Steven Springer a year and a half ago, in September of 2023. I shared it in a post not that long ago, but the dream keeps coming back to me. I believe it is important for now, perhaps even related to yesterday’s requests. After sharing the dream I’ll give some interpretation and highlight a portion. THE DREAM Dutch and I, in a group of five people, were in large, futuristic war machines. Dutch had a standard that held three banners/flags. The top flag was white, with red letters that read “The Love of the Lord.” The next banner was the Appeal to Heaven flag, and the third was the American flag, which was very tattered.  We followed Dutch in formation, advancing quickly toward a battle in front of us. We each had amazing weapons that shot laser lightning. On the side of the weapon was inscribed, as if it was the brand name, “Paga.”  Every time we shot the weapons we hit the mark, never missing our target.  Dutch would then get out of his vehicle and plant the standard into the ground as if to mark new territory claimed for the Kingdom! As the spear-like flag pole was thrust into the ground, springs of water would gush forth. I (Steven) would then declare, “Let your Kingdom come, and let the awakening well be unlocked!” Angels would then appear - to keep watch over the territory we had taken back. After each battle, Dutch was given another standard containing three more of the same flags, with the U.S. flag being less tattered.  We moved from battlefield to battlefield, and the process was repeated. Then, as we approached another battlefield and were positioning ourselves to fire, General George Washington came riding to us out of the woods. As he looked at the standard with the banners Dutch was holding - the love of the Lord flag, the Appeal to Heaven flag, and the American flag - he said to us, “Remember Gettysburg, and in the spring is when kings go to war. There will be a revolution and reformation that must take place.” He said again, “Remember Gettysburg, and in the spring is when kings go to war.”   The fear of the Lord came upon us. We all got out of our vehicles, fell to our knees, and began to pray. We were asking for gates to be opened, and that the Lord would give our nation back to the sons of the Kingdom and heal our land. As we did, lightning struck twice, and the land was healed. New growth came up from the ground. And as the banner of love waved in the wind, it released a sound over America.  End of dream.  INTERPRETATION  There were five of us in these battles, which were obviously spiritual, not physical. In Scripture, the number “5” represents “grace.” The grace gifts Christ gave the church, listed in Ephesians 4:11-12 were five in number. David carried five stones to his encounter with Goliath. With God’s gifts and grace, we are equipped to win our spiritual battles.  The three flags represent: 1)  God’s redeeming love (Song of Solomon 2:4; John 3:16), 2)  Prayer, and 3)  America. The American flag was tattered, picturing the United States’ torn and broken condition. The three flags shown together reveal that God loves America and wants to heal her through the prayers of the church.  Our weapons were inscribed with the word  “Paga” and fired laser lightning. Steven didn’t know when given the dream that paga is the Hebrew word for intercession! Our weapons were prayer! Paga  has several nuances of meaning, which I teach extensively in my book, Intercessory Prayer , which can provide pictures of what our prayers accomplish. One of those meanings is “to strike the mark” (think bullseye). (1)  In the dream, our prayer-weapons released laser lightning, which struck the mark with great accuracy. This is actually spoken of in Job 36:32: “[God] fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike the mark.” The phrase “strike the mark” is indeed the word paga!  This dream - and the verse in Job - tells us that our prayers release God’s precision-guided judgments/lightning against His foes.  Paga  also means “to encounter” and “to mark boundaries of territory!” (2) Combining all of these definitions: in intercession we encounter spiritual forces, releasing God’s power to strike them with precision, staking claim to territory for the Kingdom of God . All of that is in the word paga!!!  This is what we were doing in the dream.  It is significant that the banner of love was above the Appeal to Heaven flag. God is love (1 John 4:8) and His power, released through our prayers, is motivated by love. Our war is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). We love people and want to see them saved, even those who oppose the Lord.  As we took back territory from the powers of darkness, the land itself was being healed, America as a nation (the flag) was being repaired, and wells of awakening (revival) began springing up from the ground.  At some point, George Washington, the “Father of America,” leader of the American forces in the Revolutionary War, and our first president, came to us with a fascinating message. Part one of his message was “Remember Gettysburg.” Gettysburg was a battle, not in the Revolutionary War, which Washington fought, but in the Civil War. This is significant. The Civil War was internal, a war amongst ourselves, not against another nation. We were being destroyed from within. Gettysburg was the turning point battle in this war.  Then in the dream Washington said, “In the spring is when kings go to war. There will be a revolution and reformation that must take place.” The first part is a quote from 2 Samuel 11:1. At the time in history when this verse was written, most wars were carried out in the spring, primarily due to weather conditions. Why is this verse mentioned in the dream? I am not confident enough to prophesy this interpretation as a sure word from the Lord, but I now believe that Holy Spirit is alerting us that there will be significant efforts this spring - perhaps two of them - to stop the turnaround in America. I don’t know the nature of them, but the Gettysburg/Civil War aspect of the dream causes me to believe they will be from within our nation. Could they be related to the attacks we mentioned in yesterday’s post? Or warnings we have received regarding our water supplies and/or ports? Could they be political? I’m not certain. What I am certain of is that we can win these battles through prayer.  When Washington told us this in the dream, the fear of the Lord came upon us, we exited our vehicles and began to pray earnestly. As we did, our prayers produced lightning from heaven, which struck the ground twice. This was the turning point! The land was healed, and the banner of love released a sound over America. How interesting! Was this a love song?! I believe our Gettysburg, the “turning point” in the spiritual war for the soul of America, the “revolution” for America’s “reformation,” may very well take place over the next few months. We must persevere in our spiritual warfare, our intercession, releasing the lightning of God to defeat His enemies. Pray with me: Father, we want to listen to You diligently and obey You quickly. We listen to and obey Your words from Scripture first and foremost, but we also take to heart the words of Holy Spirit as He leads us in our intercession. At the beginning of 2025, You emphasized lightning in our nation’s capital. This is the year for the lightning! You have also reminded us that Your power, Your lightning, Your judgments - pictured in Revelation 8:5 - are released from our intercession. Holy Spirit guides these prayers, causing them to “strike the mark” with great precision. And You have reminded us that they are to be motivated by Your love – though they release judgments against Your enemies, they are for the healing of our land and the redemption of many people. We will not grow complacent. We hear Your alert and believe You are telling us that our generation’s spiritual Gettysburg, our turning point, is coming this spring. We ask You for great sensitivity and discernment as we remain on our posts and appeal to heaven. Help us to stay alert and watchful. Give us this breakthrough! In Jesus’ name, we pray this. Amen.   Our decree: We decree that we will be sensitive to Holy Spirit’s instructions and win our generation’s Gettysburg! Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Urgent Prayer Needed Recently, Intercessors For America  passed on the following urgent prayer requests. “Two urgent requests have come into IFA for immediate intercession. While we cannot share more details than listed here, please know these have come in from reliable, high-placed sources. “ CRITICAL ISSUE #1 :  Vetted national security experts with the highest security clearance in the communication field are asking for a prayer shield for our nation in regards to risk to our communication grid. Pray for those making decisions about our grid, engineers responsible for security, and those on the front lines. “ CRITICAL ISSUE #2 :  A request for prayer over personnel involved in U.S./Israeli relations. Pray for all those making decisions, for those both in Israel and in the U.S. who are working together on current issues in the region, and for God’s purposes to be fulfilled. “We appreciate your faithful and urgent prayer for these two issues, even without many details. God knows all the specifics to each of these urgent requests, and He calls us to partner with Him as we intercede.” It is no secret that all of America’s cyber systems are vulnerable. That would obviously include the power grid, communications grid, water systems, and others. Our government has been asleep at the wheel, seemingly refusing to take seriously enough the warnings. Hopefully, that is incorrect, and things are being/have been done that, for security reasons, we are not being told about. Regardless, we must absolutely take warnings such as this very seriously.  The world is currently in a very volatile time. This is not just for the obvious reasons, such as major global powers like China and Russia posturing for control. The forces behind globalism also desire more control; for this they want and need a weakened America. Trump’s “America First” agenda works against them tremendously. They must fight against its success in every way possible, from without our nation and from within. The victories President Trump and the conservative movement have won are real but tenuous, and nowhere near complete.  We also know there are certainly hundreds, but more likely thousands, of terrorists and enemy soldiers now in America due to the Left’s open border policy of the last four years. When will they strike? Could this warning of attacks against our communication grid be one of their plans? Perhaps. One thing is certain: they came here with a plan, not just for a better life.  We must pray diligently for our leaders and those in positions of responsibility to discover, expose, and stop these attacks. We must pray that God’s mercy triumphs over the horrible judgments America stands to reap. We must pray that we don’t experience the full fruit of the treachery and traitorous acts visited on our nation by our past leaders. We must ask for genuine revival - the fruit of repentance - and radical reformation in the place of these woes. We must continue to pray for the exposure of the corruption in our government and for the right people to be confirmed for President Trump’s Cabinet and Agencies.  THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL Regarding the prayer request regarding Israel, the U.S., and the Middle East, I feel this is very timely. I have been sensing the weakening of the prince of Persia (Iran). When thinking of Iran’s government and its evils (not Iranians in general), don’t forget that they are ancient Persia, and are controlled by the principality mentioned in Daniel 10. He is one of the spirits that has ruled this region for millennia, led the battle to stop Daniel’s prayers and Israel’s restoration (Daniel 10), and was the spirit behind Haman’s attempt to destroy the Jewish people in the Book of Esther. This spirit is still alive and active today in the region.  I have felt for quite some time that God is removing the influence of this spirit, which will also mean a shift in the government of Iran. Great revival is occurring there (underground), and I feel it will eventually feed a huge outpouring of the Spirit in the entire Middle East.  Let’s take this request seriously and pray that those making decisions now, especially the Netanyahu and Trump teams, make wise and timely decisions - kairos  decisions. It’s time for the head of this hateful, demonic snake to be cut off. As the above request says, pray for God’s purposes to be accomplished and for a great spiritual harvest to come in that region.  Finally, I assure you that there has never been a more important time for watchman intercessors to stay engaged. We must faithfully pray for protection over our leaders, and ask God’s wisdom to direct them. Allow no distractions; accept no complacency. We are writing history with our prayers.  Pray with me: Father, we join our hearts with thousands of intercessors today, asking for Your protection over America. We have sown the wind; we ask You that we not reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). We ask You for mercy and protection from attacks against our nation’s communication system, our power grid, our water supplies, and any other vulnerable part of our nation. Give supernatural exposure regarding plans to destroy or damage them and weaken our nation. We also ask You to protect our government leaders, and give them great wisdom as they lead in this very challenging time. Thwart the plans of those working against righteous causes, and bring success to those who are promoting wise, effective, and strategic policies. Give them grace and wisdom to reform and rebuild our nation. We continue to pray that the right people are appointed to President Trump’s Cabinet and Agency positions.  And we pray for the Middle East; we ask that You give the Trump and Netanyahu teams wisdom on what to do and when to do it. You are Lord over the nations – orchestrate events to cause revival in that part of the world. Eliminate the influence of the prince of Persia. Free the people of Iran and that entire region from his influence and control, lift the veil of deception, and open their eyes to Yeshua. You sent Michael, the great archangel, to deal with this principality in Daniel’s day. Send the heavenly forces necessary to do so again in this season. In Jesus’ name, we ask these things. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that mercy triumphs over judgment, and the purposes of God will be accomplished in our generation. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Restoring the Dream Most of today’s post is taken from my book DREAM , which I wrote in 2012. You may not be aware of it, but you have a dreaming nature. You inherited this part of your make-up from your Creator. He created us in His image and likeness so our hearts could relate to His and in order that His dreaming heart could find millions of expressions. You were designed to dream, both for yourself and for God. You MUST dream. In fact, if you don’t dream with Him, He can’t experience all of His dreams, and you’ll never achieve your destiny. A life without dreams is like a GPS without a satellite. The GPS might operate, but it would lead you nowhere. Likewise, without God-given dreams to guide you, you will travel life’s highway searching for a destination you’ll never find. Divinely inspired dreams, on the other hand, will guide you to the destiny God intended for you. Your Designer dreamed dreams for you before you were even born, then skillfully wove them into your DNA as He created you, along with the ability to find and fulfill them. His ultimate destiny for you will be the sum of those dreams. The journey of life, then, is meant to be a dream quest. Finding and fulfilling what your Maker dreamed for you brings life’s ultimate satisfaction and should be life’s ultimate pursuit. If you don’t discover those dreams, you’ll either waste your life running in wrong races and crossing wrong finish lines or, like many people, have no finish line at all. Some individuals stop running altogether, wandering through life as though it were a maze, hoping they will make the right turn and stumble upon the right exit. What a tragedy. Your Creator doesn’t intend for life to be a shot in the dark. You CAN find His plans and dreams for you and pursue them with confidence. The Ultimate Gift  is one of my favorite movies. It’s the story of Red Stevens, an older and extremely wealthy businessman who knew he was dying and was trying to decide where to leave his fortune. It seemed his children were money-hungry, self-indulgent, and irresponsible, as were his grandchildren. All but one. Jason seemed like all the rest, but Red had seen something else in him, buried under the outer layer of pain, laziness, and his party-driven lifestyle. Red knew that under this stained veneer was great strength and noble character. So he decided to leave his fortune to Jason - IF he passed a series of twelve tests, which Red personally presented posthumously by video. These were difficult, time-consuming tests, some of which were projects that took weeks. Jason would only learn of the next challenge after successfully finishing the previous one. When presented with the proposal by Red’s executor, Jason at first resisted. The old man’s money could go to charity; he wasn’t going to play the game. But after much thought - and the fear of going broke! - he decided to give it a try, just to get the money. What he didn’t know was that each challenge was designed not only as a test but as a character builder and teaching tool - Red called them “gifts, a series of gifts.” It is fascinating to watch the transformation in Jason. He learns the value of hard work, loyalty, giving, family, and several more important qualities needed for a successful and responsible life. Toward the end of the process, he sits down to see a video showing him his next assignment. Grandpa, though of course now gone, knew when making the videos that if, at this point in the process, they were still being shown to Jason by his wise and discerning business partner, Jason had passed the previous tests and could be trusted with the wealth. Almost.  When this latter video begins, Red says, “It’s time for you to learn to dream, Jason.” Like the grandson in the movie, I was riveted to the television. What a concept! I thought. The test of dreaming . Jason was given a very large sum of money, told to dream, and do whatever he wanted with it. And just in case you decide to watch the movie, that’s where I’ll stop. The timing of watching this movie was perfect for me. I was in a season of reexamining my life, analyzing the past, and wrestling with the future. As part of this process I planned a week alone to think and pray. We were living in Colorado at that time. I had a cabin reserved for the week, but when I arrived, it just didn’t feel right. I decided to follow my instincts: This isn’t the place. I called Ceci and asked her to check online for another location, preferably in Estes Park, Colorado. I would start driving in that direction. The place she found was more than perfect. The Americana-themed decor reminded me of my calling, and the altar and a Cross out back reminded me of Moriah, a special place of dreaming mentioned in Scripture (Genesis 22). Though I was unaware of it, God had planned that He and I would dream together in this place. Perhaps you aren’t aware of Moriah and its rich biblical history. It is the mountain where Abraham took Isaac, at God’s instruction, to offer him as a sacrifice. God stopped him from doing so, of course. He had only wanted to paint a picture of Himself offering His Son on the altar of the cross centuries later. Moriah was the actual place where this would occur! There, on that momentous mountain, Abraham and God dreamed together. Abraham was told to envision the day he would have so many descendants they would be a great nation. God envisioned the day He would recapture His dream of family. And though Abraham didn’t yet understand it, the two dreams were intricately entwined. God would use this patriarch’s dream to recapture His. Messiah would come through the nation Abraham would birth.  God had big dreams for another nation: America. Some people find it ludicrous to think Yahweh birthed America for His purpose, His dream. Indeed, some find the assertion heretical, screaming, “Christian nationalism! God would never create a nation for the primary purpose of announcing the good news that Abraham’s nation was used to birth. He no longer raises up and uses nations. He only uses individuals now.” How ridiculous. He is Lord over the nations (Psalm 22:28). Acts 17:26 tells us He appoints the times and boundaries of nations; Daniel 2:21 informs us that He chooses rulers. Are we to believe that when raising up nations and leaders He never has His most important cause in mind: the redemption of the world through the sacrifice of His Son?!  This destiny on America doesn’t suggest He loves us more than other people. God loves “the world,” every “whosoever,” on the planet (John 3:16). Nor does it imply that other nations don’t have important callings from God. For a nation to be chosen as an “evangelist to the world,” as Robert Hunt prayed over America at Cape Henry in 1607, doesn’t give us elite status, any more than a person called from their birth to be an evangelist does. Yes, it is a very high calling,  but not a high status . God unquestionably raised up America to send the gospel to all the earth. This was His dream for us.  The American Dream of living free and prospering through hard work is good. But it is not the ultimate gift God had in mind for us, any more than it was for Abraham.  “I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee…and thou shalt be a blessing…and in thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,” He told Abraham. (Genesis 12:2-3) Fallen human nature caused Americans to forget God’s dream as they pursued their own. He wants to unite the dreams again. As you pursue “the American Dream,” don’t forget His. Pray with me: Father, Your plan for America was very clear: to be a “nation evangelist” to the world. You gave us the liberty and prosperity to make this possible. Like Israel, we failed You, even rebelled from You, many times. But thankfully, Your mercy is greater than our sin; You redeem and restore. Just as You did many times with Israel, You are restoring America back to You and to this purpose.  We will experience a revival that not only saves us, but also restores passion for our destiny. Evangelists will go forth from America’s shores by the thousands, and evangelism will go forth through the airwaves. Your Kingdom will come, Your will be done. Let Your hammer fall where needed, Your fire burn what needs to be burned, and the rain of Holy Spirit fall on our land. Even now, we hear the sound of abundant rain. May Your dreams for Earth’s greatest harvest come true, and may we be a part of this. Our decree: We decree that God’s dream for the greatest of all harvests will be fulfilled, and America will achieve her role.  Much of today’s post was taken from my book DREAM  published by Bethany House (Baker Books).

Revival Fire and Reforming Zeal On Wednesday, I listened to a portion of the DOGE Congressional subcommittee hearing. It was a clear commentary on America’s broken government. A panel of experts was invited to give the committee insights regarding how our government can save money and become more efficient. One side asked sincere questions; the other played politics and, between chuckles, accused the richest man in the world of working to expose waste in government…in order to enrich himself. Of course, one of those on the Left was literally sworn in on a comic book, so I guess we shouldn’t be terribly surprised. Listening to him feign sincerity when complaining about Musk exposing waste and fraud, then demanding more openness and transparency actually was a bit comical.  One guest expert on the panel explained how our government could save taxpayers $1 trillion annually from fraud alone just by updating to the type of systems that businesses routinely use. T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N!! Every year. Just from fraud. Not one member on the Left was interested in his information. He also pointed out that another trillion dollars - again, trillion - was lost to fraud during Covid, 70% of which went overseas. Still, not one Representative on the Left was interested, acting more like they were in a college debate than an effort to save a nation.  When unbelievable but true amounts of money, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, were mentioned for things like condoms sent abroad, sex change surgeries abroad, support to Al Qaeda, trans research on rats - the list seemed endless - not one person on the Left registered concern. Not one. Their only issue was with the billionaire who is exposing it for free, working for another billionaire who also works for free. If only they were being paid exorbitant amounts, perhaps their efforts would be accepted. And we wonder why America hasn’t been able to get her financial house in order.  By the way, this exposure of trillions in waste and fraud is being called a “constitutional crisis.” Not the waste and fraud, mind you. The exposure. The Left is crying foul because Musk is an “unelected” appointee investigating “unelected” bureaucrats. When that accusation didn’t work, they shopped for the right “unelected” judges to help them stop this “unelected” individual. I know, it’s confusing.  Many Americans have been saying for decades that what America needs in government is a return to common sense. That is certainly true, as Trump has stated repeatedly. Sadly, however, we must add honesty and integrity to the list. The American government needs a good bath; it is filthy. While there are good leaders in our country, there are also many who are corrupt and deceived.  But let’s be honest, this is simply reflective of our nation, in general. Humanism invaded our land with its relativity and lack of moral absolutes. Secularism removed God from education and government, the church lost its voice, and the inevitable consequences are now being witnessed. A decade or more ago, discernment may have been required to see where this was heading. Now, however, one need not be discerning to see it - common sense alone is more than enough.  The problem did not begin in government. It started in the spiritual realm as an attack against God and truth, then invaded education and government. This will have to be reversed. We cannot simply vote or legislate the problems out in our nation. Biblical truth must be restored. If it isn’t, the evil and insanity will just be voted back in. We’ve seen the cycle over and over.  Revival - an outpouring of Holy Spirit producing millions of conversions and a love for God and His Word - will break the cycle. Truth will be restored, making true reformation possible. If we want a healthy and free future for our kids and grandkids, we won’t find it at the ballot box alone. We will achieve it first through a return to God, accompanied by voting for righteous leaders. Revival and reformation - revival feeding reformation - this is the key.  Don’t just watch Trump, his Cabinet, Johnson and righteous House members, Thune and conservative leaders in the Senate, and Judges. Pray for them! They are the scalpels, not the surgeon; hammers, not the carpenter. Only Christ can heal us; except He builds the house, they labor in vain (Psalm 127:1).  Cry out for revival!!! I’m continually amazed that so few churches and believers do so. We should be travailing in intercession, appealing for a great awakening. There is no other hope for America and the world. Find a church that is sounding the alarm and praying accordingly; partner with them. If you can’t find one near you, connect with one online. Support those making a difference, and agree with them.  Pray with me: Father, You told us in Your Word to be diligent and alert to satan’s attacks. We were not. You told us to pray first for government, the entity You established to funnel Your peace, protection, and justice into the Earth. We did not. Through these and other failures, we allowed darkness and deception to invade our nation. We gave them an inch, they took a mile.  Thank You for mercy, and for enlightening us. Now we cry out for a life-giving revival, accompanied by a transforming reformation. Save and heal America. Return us to You and restore our sanity. We appreciate wise leaders, and we pray for their success, but we also pray that they come into a true and strong relationship with You and Your truth. Show them their need for You, and that You must be the source of our nation’s healing and health. Send a revival to our government; then lead them as they reform .  And awaken the church. You began a worship movement in the 1970s that emphasized our connection to You. Indeed, loving and relating to You must always come first. However, we now need the fire of revival; lovers must become laborers, and worshippers must become warriors. We have passion; we need zeal. Please give this to the church. Please.  Our decree: We decree that revival fire and reforming zeal are coming to the church, and to our nation. Click on the link below to watch the full video.
