A Dragon, Calamity, and a Promise (Part 2 of 4) Yesterday, we began looking at a dream about America in which three doors, picturing 3 scenarios, were shown. I believe it will be helpful to read the dream once more. This dream was given to my friend, Dr. Greg Hood. “On 12/02/2022, the Lord gave me [Greg Hood] a dream. The dream opened with Dutch and I being led by an angel up to large, iron double doors. The angel took us through them, and inside we saw three doors down the left side of the room. Each door had a combination lock with a keypad on it. “We approached the first door, which was open slightly, allowing us to see a little of the room. Dutch reached and opened the door further so we could see more of what was inside. What we saw was unnerving - a dragon eating from a bowl that was shaped like the United States. As the bowl would become empty, men in suits replenished it. “We stepped away from the door, and it returned back to its original position - open, but only slightly. As the angel led us away from the door, I [Greg] reached to push it fully closed, but could not move it. While motioning us toward the next door, the angel said to me, ‘You can’t close it with your hands!’ “We approached the second door, and again, it was slightly ajar. Once more, Dutch reached out and opened it fully. Inside was a movie theatre with a movie playing on the big screen. The movie was depicting spiritual darkness causing all sorts of evil - famine, communism, war, and calamity. A man was sitting in the front row of the theatre. In the dream, we knew he was Nero, the former emperor of Rome. The movie became more intense. We could see cities being overrun, homes and families being displaced. Again, as we stepped away from the doorway, the door automatically went to its original position - open slightly. As we were led away from the door, I [Greg] again reached to push the door closed, but couldn’t do so. While motioning us to move toward the next door, the angel again said to me, ‘You can’t close it with your hands!’ “The angel then led us to the third door. This door was also cracked open, but a little more than the others. As we approached it, we could hear a sound coming from inside the room. Again, Dutch opened the door fully, and as he did, we could feel powerful energy coming from inside. This energy created a strong wind that was blowing outward, then sucking inward, like a person breathing, only much stronger. The wind was so strong it was moving us backward and forward. The angel of the Lord spoke and said, ‘This is the door to awakening and the transformation of nations.’ "The angel then said to Dutch, ‘These doors picture what America is now facing. They can’t be opened or closed by the hands of the prophet, but must be opened and closed by the decrees of the apostolic Ekklesia. Operate them with your mouth, not your hands!’ “Dutch then began speaking forcefully to the first two doors: ‘MY CODE IS 22-22, AND WITH IT I COMMAND THESE DOORS TO CLOSE, AND I DEADBOLT THEM CLOSED FOR GOOD!’ When he declared this, both doors slammed shut with powerful force, and an angel was placed at each one to ensure that it remained closed. “Dutch then turned to the third door and declared loudly and boldly, ‘AMERICA, THIS IS YOUR DOOR. IT IS THE DOOR OF YOUR PROMISE! I CALL YOU INTO YOUR PROMISED DAY OF REFRESHING, REMODELING, AND PURPOSE! AMERICA, THIS IS YOUR DOOR OF DESTINY: THE DOOR OF AWAKENING! IT IS NOW OPEN TO YOU, AMERICA, AND WILL BE THE OPENING OF THE NATION TO AWAKENING!’ “As Dutch finished declaring this, the wind and energy in this room sucked us through the doorway. And we knew the nation had been pulled into the room of awakening!” End of dream. Yesterday we looked at the evils and destruction behind doors one and two. They included devastation, darkness, war, violence, and great oppression. However, wonderful blessings were available behind the third door, including national awakening, recovery, and restored purpose. All three doors were slightly open, revealing that what was in the rooms behind them had already begun to occur, the good and the bad. It certainly doesn’t require prophetic insight to see this when looking at America; evil abounds in every sector of our land. Yet the third door was open slightly more than the other two. God has been doing wonderful things in the Church to prepare us for our role in the saving of America. A remnant is rising with fresh revelation and determination. Many are praying as never before and speaking out for truth and change. The 5 ministry gifts/anointings of Christ listed in Ephesians 4:11, [apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher] have been restored to the Church. Cooperation between various streams of the body of Christ is increasing. The energizing breath of Holy Spirit, shown in the dream pulsating inside the room of awakening, can truly be felt. When thinking of the breath of Holy Spirit, one cannot help but think of Ezekiel 37, where He is seen blowing on the dry, bleached bones of Israel. God did not reject Israel in her spiritually dead condition, nor did He wait for them to save themselves. No, Holy Spirit gathered them, reconnected them, released His mighty breath and life into them, and made them a great army. Likewise, God is not waiting for America to save herself before He moves in our land. He is going to move in order to save us! In Acts 2, Holy Spirit didn’t wait for His confused and unbelieving disciples to get their act together before releasing His breath to them. He released His breath, causing them to get their act together! God doesn’t come to “worthy” people - His coming makes them worthy. He doesn’t begin with an army; He saves, restores, and then forms an army. Put out of your thinking once and for all any belief that says God requires us to save or purify ourselves before He will move. No! He moves by His Spirit in order to save and purify us! No part of our salvation is earned. It is all a gift, received by grace through faith. In the dream, Holy Spirit sucked us into His room of awakening! Two of the blessings found in the room were “refreshing” and “remodeling.” These two results of Holy Spirit’s breath are mentioned in Acts 3:19-21. Verse 19 mentions “times of refreshing.” The Greek word used for refreshing is anapsuxis (Strongs 403), from the root word psucho (Strongs 5594), meaning breath or wind. The prefix ana gives it repetition and intensity. A good and amplified translation would be “the blowing of the breath again, intensely.” This is most certainly what occurred in the dream. It is also what occurred in Ezekiel 37, Acts 2, and every other revival in history. The dream shows us that we are standing at the door of a very anxious and ready Holy Spirit. He is about to release His holy, reviving breath to America again. The Lord referred to the door as “The Door of Promise.” God has promised many times through numerous prophetic voices that America shall be saved. Those who have ears to hear can now hear His approaching breath! The word “remodel” was also used to describe the fruit of Holy Spirit’s outpouring. Acts 3:21 mentions “times of restitution.” The Greek word is apokatastasis (Strongs 605), which means “to reconstitute; to restore something to its former state.” God is going to restore, rebuild, and recondition America. This “remodeling” is a reconstituting of America to His original intent and purpose for her. This was behind the third door - Holy Spirit’s breath waiting to do this! Tomorrow we will look at still another facet of this coming great awakening. Pray with me: Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy. You love to save! All of heaven loves it, rejoicing when You do so. We have allowed satan and flawed theology to paint You as ogreish, looking for any opprtunity to release wrath and destroy people. The truth is that You are love personified, Your gracious heart always anxious to heal and restore. Though America is currently being consumed by the dragon, we hear Your offer to save us from his destruction. We, ourselves, opened the door to this destruction and are reaping the wages of our sins. We are not asking You to overlook those sins; we ask You to cleanse them, eradicate them, through the saving blood of Jesus. Deliver us from evil! Holy Spirit, we can hear You breathing inside the room of promise, the room of awakening and the transformation of nations. We can feel Your energy! Like Elijah on Mt. Carmel, we hear the sound of abundant rain. Come, Sir! Release the wind! Father give us greater understanding of our role in this. You have never moved on Earth apart from humans’ involvement. You work with and through us, not without us. Awaken the apostolic Church to step up in 2023, to truly be Your voice. Stir us, refire us, refill us, and re-energize us! We ask this in Yeshua’s name! Our decree: We declare that another mighty wind from Holy Spirit is coming to Earth, and will NOT be stopped. You can find out more about Dr. Hood at GregHood.org.

A Dragon, Calamity, and A Promise (part 1 of 4) Today, I’m going to share what I believe is an important dream. It is somewhat sobering, yet ultimately very hope-filled. The dream includes 3 scenarios that present challenges and opportunities in America. It also makes clear that the praying church has the authority to determine which scenario ultimately prevails. America shall be saved, yes, but this will occur as the Ekklesia continues to listen and obey Holy Spirit. Just as Elijah birthed God’s promised rain (see 1 Kings 18), and Daniel birthed His promised restoration of Israel (see Daniel 9), the Ekklesia must birth America’s recovery, as well. We have begun this process and must continue doing so. Paul spoke of choices in First Corinthians 16:8-9: “I will remain in Ephesus until the feast of Pentecost. There’s an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for me to minister here, even though there are many who oppose and stand against me” (TPT). Paul was not intimidated or controlled by the opposition; he chose the opportunity - in spite of the opposition. In Deuteronomy, God offered Israel the choice of life or death, blessings or curses (Deuteronomy 30:19). He urged them to choose life, both for themselves and their children. Our decisions have far-reaching effects. We in America are making decisions today that will determine the futures of our children and grandchildren. In his Concord Hymn, Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke of patriotic “...heroes [who] dare to die and leave their children free.”(1) May Holy Spirit give us heroic hearts that will fight for the freedom of our children. The dream, as given to Dr. Greg Hood: “On 12/02/2022, the Lord gave me [Greg Hood] a dream. The dream opened with Dutch and I being led by an angel up to large, iron double doors. The angel took us through them, and inside we saw three doors down the left side of the room.

As the angel led us away from the door, I [Greg] reached to push it fully closed, but could not move it.

IT IS NOW OPEN TO YOU, AMERICA, AND WILL BE THE OPENING OF THE NATION TO AWAKENING!’ “As Dutch finished declaring this, the wind and energy in this room sucked us through the doorway. And we knew the nation had been pulled into the room of awakening!” End of dream. Three doors. Three rooms. Three scenarios. In dreams of this nature I represent the praying Church; actions I perform are not to be done by me alone, but by the apostolic Ekklesia. In the first room, the dragon no doubt represents satan (Revelation 12:9). It could also represent satan in his manifestation as Leviathan (see Isaiah 27:1). I also believe the dragon could represent the Communist Party of China (not the general population) which is evil, no doubt controlled by demonic powers and is often pictured by a dragon. The dragon is seen in the dream consuming and devouring America. Satan’s desire is always to steal, kill and destroy, and he is most certainly doing much of this in America. Notice that in the dream, the door is already open, and the consuming of America has begun. America was being fed to the dragon by men in suits. I believe they refer to some in America’s government, and also in our businesses and corporations. Unrighteous decisions being made by individuals in our government are giving satan the right to consume and devour America. And deals being made with Communist China by some in our business arena are feeding America’s assets and security to that nation. Behind door number two was a movie showing death and destruction being observed by “Nero.” Nero was the emperor of Rome from 54 A.D. to 68 A.D. He no doubt represents evil, perhaps even insane, government. This evil emperor was an insane tyrant, a murderer who killed his own family members, and the ruler who began the persecution of Christians in Rome. Nero had them burned alive, crucified and thrown to the dogs. He was the emperor who oversaw the martyrdom of the apostles, Paul and Peter. Nero was insane, evil, and controlled by demons.(2) Watch a video or two of drag queens dancing in apostate churches or in front of kindergarteners. Then consider the fact that they are celebrated by many in our government - some of them even honored and entertained in the White House. THIS…is a picture of Nero playing the fiddle while watching Rome burn. Back to the dream… All sorts of evils were being displayed on the TV screen of Room 2: communism, principalities overseeing the destruction of families and cities, war, death, and destruction. Sound familiar? Most of these things are already occurring in America. As the dream showed, the door is open and the carnage has begun. Will America be involved in another literal war, perhaps even here on our soil? It is not clear in the dream, though this cannot be ruled out. Regardless, the instructions given to the praying Church will remain the same, which we will discuss later this week. It is clear in the dream that these two doors leading to evil and destruction CAN be closed - that’s good news! However, they could NOT be closed with our hands. In other words, they can’t be closed through human effort: laws, legislation, strength, ideas, methods or programs, including those implemented by the Church. Tomorrow, we will look at the wonderful scenario behind door number 3, followed by the instructions on how we were instructed to close and open these doors. Pray with me: Father, America has sown the wind; we are now reaping the whirlwind. Evil forces are being fed and strengthened, the dragon is gorging himself on our nation. Addiction is common, violence is rampant, babies are legally killed, children are mutilated. Many in government are corrupt and evil, and America is led by a dishonest man whom the entire world knows is also mentally handicapped. And yet…Your mercy is everlasting, enduring forever, triumphing over judgment. You still offer salvation and point the way to deliverance and victory. As many have been partaking of communion together, we have been appealing to heaven’s Mercy Seat, where Your very blood shouts louder than our sins. Your mercy is amazing, and we thank You! We declare today that the apostolic Church WILL close and lock these evil doors. We WILL open the door of awakening, refreshing, remodeling, and purpose. We ARE Christ’s apostolic Ekklesia, and we DO know the code. Open our eyes this week and next as we pursue the further revelation You are offering regarding all of this. In Christ’s name we ask, amen. Our decree: We declare that the apostolic Ekklesia will open the door of life and blessing. You can find out more about Dr. Hood at GregHood.org.

I will be leading us in Communion today. If possible, pause your recording and/or reading and get some juice/wine and bread ready so you can join me. Communion is more than remembering and honoring; it is a declaration of, the release of, and celebration of victory! Hello! Thank you so much for participating with me in prayer each day! Ceci and I are slowing down a little during these last couple of weeks of 2022. I do so each year, taking time to focus on the coming year and listening to Holy Spirit’s words, insights, and assignments. However, with the critical assignment on the final quarter of 2022, I feel we must continue the communion and prayers aimed at ending Baal’s voice in America. Therefore, I have asked trusted leaders and friends to write prayers; I’ll read one each day and also lead in Communion. Though there won’t be a teaching, PLEASE join me daily for these strategic times of prayer. We must not let up - let’s finish well! My friend, Chuck Pierce, sent the following prophetic prayer. The title is: _______________________ Speak Into Your Future! Chuck begins by saying, “We are entering into an incredible year, so I thank God for what Dutch Sheets and his ministry is doing to lead us in prayers and decrees. “I want to lead us in a prayer for the entire year ahead. We have entered a war for divine recovery. How you speak into your future, is how the Lord will manifest. This year is also about opening up the way - new paths - for God’s provision!” Chuck’s prayer: “Father, we ask You to return us to the level of authority You gave the Church initially. We decree that we will recuperate and regain what has been lost, taken or captured. We decree that we will reclaim lands that have become “waste structures.” We decree we will become well and overcome weaknesses. “We ask You to deliver people from troubled states of mind - hope deferred, confusion, fear, and unbelief. We ask You to give us new states of mind, where the Word will begin to refresh our thoughts and restore our faith. We also ask that the wounds of betrayal from the past season break off those who have been betrayed. “We decree that old cycles in which some are trapped will break, that they will come into a whole new identity. Father, we ask You to remove trauma that has become embedded in their cells and thinking processes. We ask that in any way our spirits have been distressed in the last season, You break the power of that vexation. Cause us to leap into our future! We ask that we will be known as a joyful, faith-filled people, capable of representing Your Kingdom. “We also ask You to give us new seer gifts. This is a year pictured by Ezekiel’s prophetic ministry, so we ask You to open our eyes to see in ways we have never before seen. We also ask for a new watchman anointing, enabling us to watch for and discern that which is coming against us. “Father, in our war for recovery and restoration, help us to overcome the dragon’s fiery breath and be empowered by the fire of Your Spirit. We ask You to rebuild altars that have either gone into decay, grown cold, or have fallen into waste. “We thank You that we will have new sources of supply; we will pioneer new avenues for the Spirit’s supply into our future. We’ll dig new wells this year. “We decree that any spirit ruling in our sphere of authority, such as Goliath or Baal, will begin to lose its grip on what we have authority over. Give us strategies to release what our enemies have held captive. “Father, make the Ekklesia a united company this year; a mighty army that will rule for the future. Give us revelation regarding how to dethrone the devourer, and give us new opportunities to serve, speak, and change those around us that don’t know You. Give us inroads into new places. “Finally, Father, we declare the release of Your Kingdom rule. Manifest Your Kingdom authority that resides within us, so that spirits, powers, and principalities ruling our government will begin to fall. Put Your decrees within us; when we decree Your will, it will happen. In Jesus’ name we pray these things.” Father, as we move into the new year, we do so under the banner of the Cross, the provision of the New Covenant in Christ’s blood. As we partake of this bread that represents His body we proclaim the healing of our spirits, souls, and bodies; we proclaim the healing of our homes and families, and we proclaim the healing of our nations. (Take the bread) As we drink the cup, we proclaim victory, deliverance, cleansing, and eternal life. We are saved from sin and death. We will walk in Christ’s freedom and victory; we will represent Him and His message of love, we will extend His salvation everywhere we go. We boldly declare Your promise that America shall be saved, and that revival is coming to the nations! (Drink the cup) You can find out more about Chuck Pierce at gloryofzion.org.

Fresh Air I hope you had a good Christmas and hope that you have a happy and blessed New Year! I always find the words sent by my brother, Tim, to be encouraging and instructive. This one, however, is exceptionally edifying. As the title suggests, it speaks of refreshing breath from Holy Spirit, and it also speaks of the Father’s great plans for 2023. You’ll be encouraged. Tim shares: “We are in amazing supernatural times in which new plans from the Godhead have begun to manifest. In many ways last year set the table prophetically for our future. Prophetic words from the past received fresh emphasis and have begun to activate. I recently heard Holy Spirit say, ‘It is time for God-happenings, thousands of Kingdom events will occur.’ “We are moving into a season of great God-planned events, aided by angelic assistance. The King’s Ekklesia has begun functioning at higher levels of our Kingdom’s authority, and the Kingdom of Christ is expanding in its influence. “I have been pondering, praying and asking for revelation regarding 2023. Holy Spirit reminded me of past prophecies and promises given to the heirs of God, His sons and daughters. I believe we are moving into a time when great victories will be seen in the individual lives of Kingdom heirs. Great breakthroughs will activate in the lives of God’s family members who declare ownership of His promises. Greater inheritance benefits will be received by those heirs. “A Kingdom shift in the spiritual atmosphere will make it easier to receive inheritance blessings from the Father. We are moving into a time of blessing, refreshing, and strengthening for the children of God. He wants us strong and courageous, well able to live our lives in joy and gladness as functioning citizens of His Kingdom - occupying and carrying out God’s family business until Christ returns. “As I was praying into this, I received a prophetic download from Holy Spirit. He said, ‘The heirs will begin to breathe fresh air. For fresh resurrection breath, even now, is being breathed by the Father on the sons and daughters. Emotions will resurrect. Feelings will resurrect. Minds will resurrect. Physical bodies bound by spirits of infirmity, disease and all manner of sicknesses will resurrect. Those living skeletal lives of existence will resurrect. Those plagued by demonic fatigue will resurrect. Broken hearts will resurrect. Fresh air is being breathed upon the heirs. They shall breathe fresh air.’ “‘As in the Exodus of old, says the Lord, the children of God in this hour, moving into the new days, will not be decrepit. They will not be feeble or worn out ‘has-beens.’ Even old age will not define them - it didn’t define Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, or Caleb. And it will not define My heirs! I have deliverers rising in all age groups, young and old, male and female. “‘My children are coming out of bondage. There will not be lack in their homes. There will not be hopelessness in their dwellings. There will not be the oppressive grip of present-day pharaohs on them or their children. There will not be the sweat of fear upon their brow. They will not march to the menacing drums of cultural evils or the feral voices of evil politicians. “‘They will live in resurrection life, resurrection power. They will breathe the breath of life, the fresh air of heaven. They will experience anointings and angelic assistance to live as My family ought to live, says the Lord, a family serving joyfully and triumphantly in the dynasty of their Father. Heirs serving as joint-heirs with Christ. Yes, fresh air is blowing from the mountain of God, the fresh air of Heaven into His sons and daughters. The life of the Father will surely be in them and will surely be seen through them.’” Tim says, “There is purpose behind all the prophetic words we have been given. Prophetic words are given to prepare us for assignments, assignments that lead us to supernatural victories. God’s words are given in order that we may use them as prayer strategies and faith declarations. The remnant is now going to begin to live out these prophetic words. They are no longer futuristic; they’re for this moment. “A supernatural shift has occurred to prepare us for 2023, a supernatural year in which God’s plans will manifest in our lives individually, corporately, and nationally. We will also now begin the implementation of spiritual warfare plans that will continue into the future, year after year gaining in strength and power. “God’s heirs are being strengthened for this supernatural mission. In 1 Timothy 1:18 (Voice Translation), Paul said ‘Timothy, my dear son, I am placing before you a charge for the mission ahead. It is in total agreement with the prophecies once spoken.’ “There is a mission before us that aligns with prophetic words Holy Spirit has given. He is issuing a charge to His heirs to rise and merge with the armies of the Lord, accomplishing this mission. It is a demon-defeating, stronghold-demolishing, uprooting mission against Baal and his indoctrination of evil. And the mission will be triumphant! The One who sees the end from the beginning has pre-decreed our victory. “The moment has come for the sons and daughters of God to receive times of refreshing and be filled with power from on high. Be encouraged and strengthened. We are in an era of supernatural movements on the earth. Great, bold, fearless warriors are rising, anointed by the Holy Spirit. The world will begin to see the curtains being pulled back, revealing a glorious church without spot or wrinkle, just as God’s Word says. “Hear this final word of the Lord: ‘New levels of Authority will now be seen in My Kingdom. The weak will say, “I am strong,” the lost will say, “I am found.” Captives will say, “I am free.” The sick will say, “I am healed.” Prodigals will say, “I’m going home.” Hopeless sons and daughters will declare, “I am filled with hope and am alive again,” says the Lord. The addict will say, “My chains are gone.” The blind will say, “I can see.” The deaf will say, “I can hear”. The cripples will say, “I can run,” says the Lord. Let the God-planned waves of revival build. These movements now begin.’” Tim concludes by exhorting us: “Receive what God is saying for this coming year. He is infusing supernatural strength to His heirs and outpourings of the Holy Spirit will liberate dreams, destinies, callings and purpose in our individual lives. Breathe in the fresh air and let Him give you resurrection life.” Pray with me: Father, we find ourselves as a generation of believers navigating uncharted waters. Like Joshua of old, we’ve not been this way before. And yet, like Esther, we were born for this time. We know You never call without equipping, and You never send without leading. We anchor ourselves in the Rock of Ages, standing on and declaring Your promises. We decree over 2023, “Kingdom of Christ, manifest in our lives, homes, businesses and nations!” Lord, we bless and thank You for Your words. We say “amen” to them and ask You to activate us in this prophetic moment. Cause us to be functioning heirs in functioning Ekklesias. Breathe fresh breath and wind upon us. Breathe it in our homes and churches. Breathe resurrection life into Your people. Thank You for the promises You have given us. We decree that demonic fatigue is leaving the people of God. We decree that sickness and disease must go in the Name of Jesus. We decree that fear bows at Your Name. We declare a Kingdom shift is occurring in the atmosphere. Thank You for moving us into supernatural waves of Holy Spirit outpouring, movements that will not be stopped. May we breathe the very air of Heaven. Our decree: We decree that our spirits are renewed every day, and that this life from God is flowing into our souls and bodies, rejuvenating and renewing.

Though there won’t be a teaching, PLEASE join me daily for these strategic times of prayer. We must not let up - let’s finish well! Our friend, Jacquie Tyre, sent the following strong prayer. The title is: ________________________ Blessings Over the United States of America “Father, in the name of Jesus, we take our place of intercession over the United States of America. We plead the blood of Jesus over this land, humbly repenting and beseeching You to shower blessings over us, by Your mercy and kindness. “As Your Ekklesia, using the keys of the Kingdom (Matthew 16:19), we unlock the gates of life, loosing blessings that flow from Your throne. And, we lock the gates of death, binding up curses that have been unleashed across this land by our many sins, and by the evil actions of nefarious leaders who dare to mock You and Your covenant purposes. We are eternally grateful for Your Word that declares, "mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13). “We choose this day to align with Your heart of love for America and to release words of blessings over her in Jesus' mighty name: “We bless our nation to fulfill Your original intent for her, walk in Your ways, turn away from evil and run toward righteousness, justice, and truth. “In Jesus' name, we decree over America, you are blessed to step into your identity as a nation set apart for God's purposes; you’re blessed to display the glory of God and advance the Gospel of the Kingdom to the nations of the world. “America, You are blessed to burn with the zeal and passion of God our righteous Father. “You are blessed to step into the most incredible move of Holy Spirit awakening and reformation the world has ever seen. “America, you are blessed to be a distributor of God's grace and glory! “We decree over the United States of America that God is for you and not against you; He loves you, and His face shines upon you, releasing great grace over you to be and do according to His divine purposes. “We bless you, United States of America, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.” Father, we seal these decrees with the covenant body and blood of Christ. They forever insure our victory. (Eat the bread) With the power of the blood of Jesus, we declare Baal’s hold over America is broken. (Drink the cup) You can find out more about Jacquie at JacquieTyre.com.

Communion is more than remembering and honoring; it is a declaration of, the release of, and celebration of victory! Hello! Thank you so much for participating with me in prayer each day! Ceci and I are slowing down a little during these last couple of weeks of 2022. I do so each year, taking time to focus on the coming year and listening to Holy Spirit’s words, insights, and assignments. However, with the critical assignment on the final quarter of 2022, I feel we must continue the communion and prayers aimed at ending Baal’s voice in America. Therefore, I have asked trusted leaders and friends to write prayers; I’ll read one each day and also lead in Communion. Though there won’t be a teaching, PLEASE join me daily for these strategic times of prayer. We must not let up - let’s finish well! My friend and spiritual dad, Jim Hodges, sent the following strong prayer. The title is: _____________________________ Unto Us a Child is Born “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over His Kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness. From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.” Isaiah 9:6-7 "Eternal God, our Heavenly Father, thank You for commissioning and sending Your eternal Son into the earth to save us and the entire world! We know You love people and the world You created. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your willingness to be clothed in a human body. You, the eternal Word, Creator of the universe, became flesh and dwelt among humanity. Son of God, You were gifted to us, Isaiah’s ‘Child that was born’! Thank You, Holy Spirit, for Your power that brought forth a Child through Mary's womb. Thanks, too, for our new birth in Christ! “Christmas 2022 finds us in a world desperately needing good news. We pray: ‘Lord Jesus, release Your wise and wonderful counsel to Your Ekklesia in all the nations, including America. Manifest Yourself as the Governor of Your Father's Kingdom in all spheres and aspects of life, especially in civil government. As Mighty God, release Your miraculous power to and through us as we proclaim a Third Great Awakening, a massive global harvest of people that will honor the sacrifice of Jesus. Anoint us to implement the victory of Your Cross and the empty tomb! As Eternal Father, pour out Your love and deliver us from the curse of fatherlessness in our land and in the earth. As Prince of Peace, let Your shalom cover the earth!’ “We pray in the mighty, majestic, and marvelous name of Jesus. Amen.” Father, we now partake of the victory meal, the Lord’s Table. You told us this would empower our prayers. Because Christ became flesh, then sacrificed His body for us, we are saved. We stand on the strength of that salvation now. (Take the bread) And Father, You said in Your Word that the blood of Jesus speaks! We let it speak through us today. It declares life, healing, and deliverance. It declares the healing of nations. It declares the disarming of the principalities and powers, placing them under Christ’s feet - and ours. We exalt His blood now. (Drink the cup) You can find out more about Jim Hodges at FMCI.org.

The title is: ____________________________ We Will Hit the Mark! “Father, thank You for who You are to us individually and as a nation. We thank You for the call that You have on our lives individually, and also corporately as a nation. During this trying season, we believe You are moving America back into her assignment, back into what You have in Your heart for her today. We are thankful that You love America, and You love Your Ekklesia, Your Church. “As we step into things that are unknown, we know You’ve been there before we get there, and we will rest in that. Thank You, Father, for Your goodness in our life. Thank You that Your Church is maturing and growing, and we are not stepping back, but we're stepping forward into the fullness of who You've called us to be. Your sons and daughters are stepping into the power of their true identity. We are thankful for Your Kingdom, for Your goodness, for Your glory. “We will stand strong amid the trials and tribulations that face us on this journey. We will rest our faith in You and You alone. Father, You are our source of strength, You are our source of hope, You are our source of comfort, and You are our source of empowerment. We stand firm in our partnership with You today. We stand firm in that partnership against your enemies, enemies that desire to move America away from her calling and assignment. “Father, we thank You for the Communion which You have entered into with us. Through this Communion, we will silence your enemy, Baal-zephan. His voice and his Influence are being removed from our culture. “Today, we declare that through this time of Communion, Your Ekklesia will hit the mark. WE WILL NOT MISS THE MARK - WE WILL HIT THE MARK. Today, we lean into Holy Spirit for the Ephesians 1:17 power that is needed, Your wisdom and Your revelation. Father, we won't be driven back or paralyzed by intimidation or fear of the enemy. Strengthen us! We will move forward with Your wisdom and Your revelation. (Take the bread) “Through the power of Christ’s shed blood, let Your enemies feel the weight of this mighty covenant between You and Your Ekklesia, Your sons and daughters. And Father, let Your light shine brighter than ever before through Your Ekklesia in these dark times. Your light will surely dispel all darkness. “We declare through this prayer today: Kingdom of God come, will of God be done in America, as it is in heaven. “In Yeshua's name we pray, amen!” (Take the cup) You can find out more about Greg at GregHood.org.

The title is: _______________________________ We Remember “Father, today we appeal to Your covenant of grace, sealed by the blood of Christ. We are grateful that Your word declares that by covenant You set us free! We remember the covenant, and ask, like the Psalmist (Psalm 74) that You would arise and extend Your hand to remove evil from our land. God, we plead the all-powerful blood of Jesus and appeal to heaven for the removal of Baal, the evil one that has set itself against covenant and infringed upon the power structures of our nation. “We decree that Baal will not maintain his rule and Leviathan’s hold will end. You will come with Your swift storm to destroy the evil one. You sit in the heavens and laugh, knowing Your son will stretch out His scepter and break the bonds of the enemy (Psalm 2). Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and You will reign forever and ever. “Jesus, as You instructed, together we remember You as we take the bread that represents our covenant with you (Take the bread). And as we drink the cup, we proclaim Your death until You come. We plead the better blood of the Lamb over our families, our churches, and our nation. We remember all You have done, and with faith we believe in all You are going to do! (Drink the cup) “God, in these times of encroaching darkness, give us wisdom as the body of Christ to shine like stars and turn many to righteousness (Daniel 12).

The title is: ___________________________ Our Christmas Blessing Today I have the wonderful opportunity of sharing communion with you, so go ahead and gather your elements. We have been hearing wonderful stories from you, our Give Him 15 family, of how Holy Spirit is meeting with you during your times of prayer and communion. We are from different walks of life and even take communion differently. But we are all here to worship Jesus, honor, and esteem Him, the One whose body was broken for us - for you and for me, and to pray for our great nation. I’m grateful to be sharing communion with you today, two days before Christmas. For many of us, our lives have been busy with preparations. For me, this looks like cooking, preparing the house for our family gatherings, decorating, and wrapping presents. I love that our grandchildren are young and experience the excitement that comes with Christmas morning. For us, as we gather together on Christmas Day, we like to start our family time with the story of Christmas - why we celebrate. We know the children are excited about presents, but we have always felt that it was important to model to the children the importance of WHY we celebrate Christmas Day. When our children were younger, we had a small book that told the story of Christmas. We would each read a page, then pass it to the next person for their turn to read. It was always memorable. Some bake a Happy Birthday, Jesus cake. These are wonderful and tangible ways to celebrate this holy day, especially with our young ones. Let’s gather the bread and wine and pray together. Lord Jesus - the One whom we celebrate, we are grateful for Your gift to us - Your willingness to come to earth in order to redeem a fallen world and give us life. We honor You and Your sacrifice. Today, Lord, we pray for those who minister in the nations of the earth - the missionaries, and the indigenous peoples of the earth who carry You in their hearts and serve you with their lives, sharing the Gospel in other lands. Strengthen and encourage them. Give them surprises, Lord, Your provision and gifts from heaven. I ask that this holy weekend be a time of miracles and answered prayers. Thank You for Your plans for America - a nation that will carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We love this nation and agree with You that Baal’s hold will be broken, and redemption will come. We declare breakthrough. We take the bread now, a symbol of Your body that was broken for us (take the bread). In John 14, Your Word says, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Because of this principle, we boldly ask that You would uncover what needs to be uncovered and cause TRUTH to shine forth in America. We ask that You would cause the lake to flip, as it were, and uncover what tries to hide. We ask that the unmasking would occur and You, the One who sees all, would judge the good and the evil. Because of your cleansing blood, we can ask for the forgiveness of our sins and receive Your gift of redemption. We now take the wine, the symbol of Your blood that was shed for us on Calvary (take the wine). We are grateful for You, Jesus. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Today we celebrate You. In Your name, we pray, Amen. Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have a wonderful, celebrative weekend and a special time with your family and friends. May the fragrances of Christmas be in your home this weekend as we all celebrate Christ, our Christmas blessing. We will see you on Monday - God bless!

Our friend, Regina Shank, sent the following strong prayer; let’s agree with her. The title is: ________________ The Healing of Our Land “Lord, we cry out for our nation. May the destiny You planned for her never be destroyed by demonic interference, liberal agendas, or religious institutionalism. May Your grace and mercy never be removed from us. May we lay down our differences, stand together as one voice, and pray without ceasing until heaven invades earth with an outpouring of evangelism, deliverance, and restoration. Let a spirit of conviction fall upon the lost. Let your people be a voice crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord.’ “Wake up the watchmen; wake up the intercessors; wake up Your people. Raise up more intercessors in each state - not those who merely lament the problem, but who decree Your Word. We thank You for the angels who carry out words spoken by Your prayer warriors. Your Word says, ‘Bless the Lord, you His angels, You mighty ones who do His commandments, obeying the voice of His word!’ (Psalms 103:20 AMP) “Thank You for the awakening that has begun; light is overcoming darkness and Your name is exalted over every entity that would try to raise its head above Your name. Exposure has begun and will continue because You are the light of the world. Let Your light shine in the darkness of men’s hearts. Turn the ship of America back to biblical values, back to purity and holiness, back to the altar of repentance, back to prayer in schools, back to a love for Your presence. Heal our land, Lord. We cry out to You for deliverance and the restoration of freedom found only in You. May we not experience church as usual, but supernatural gatherings that change the hearts of people and produce zeal for Your ways and purposes. This will enable us to change our society and culture. “In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.” Father, You said that as we join our prayers for America with Communion, proclaiming Christ’s victory over all of satan’s rule, Baal’s voice in America would be overcome. We are obeying You, hitting the mark with Calvary empowered prayers. We enforce Your victory in the all powerful name of Jesus. (Take the bread) And we decree that our faith is securely anchored in Christ - the blood of the Lamb, and the authority of Judah’s lion. We ask for the cleansing power of this blood to be applied to America. Deliver us and send revival. (Drink the cup) You can find out more about Regina at ReginaShank.com.

Our friend, Jane Hamon, sent the following strong prophetic prayer. The title is: ____________________________ Let the Lion of Judah Roar! “Lord, several months ago You showed me a vision of Jesus Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, standing off the eastern seaboard of the United States. As He began to release His roar over the nation, it was a roar of ownership and dominion, as if to say, “this land belongs to me.” As He roared, first the land began to shake from New York City all the way down to DC. Then the reverberations of His roar began to shake to the north, up into the New England states, to the south, all the way to Key West, the tip of Florida, then throughout the nation all the way out to the west coast, shaking California, Washington and Oregon. Even Alaska and Hawaii were being shaken by Your roar. The shaking was the prelude to a Great Awakening. “You then showed me the shaking was being used to strip a dark cloud or covering off the nation, exposing corruption at the very root. Eyes were being opened all across the land, in the church and in the culture. Suddenly, I saw politicians and media figures unable to continue telling their lies; they were exposing the truth of all that had been taking place in secret. At the same time I saw congregations of people with their hands lifted in worship, whose mouths suddenly became as the mouths of lions, roaring out praise and decrees that were opening the heavens and causing new light to shine upon our nation. A new dominion and authority was coming to the ekklesia. Our voices were being released to roar with You. “In Joel 3:16, Your word declares, “The Lord shall roar from Zion (His people) and utter His voice from before Jerusalem. The heavens and earth will shake but the Lord will be a shelter for His people and the strength of Israel.” Lord, we cry out for You to release Your roar over the United States of America. We ask that You would roar over our nation, shaking us down to the foundations of righteousness and justice, making us a place where You can establish Your throne of favor once again. We cry out that You would roar against wickedness and corruption, against injustice and the spirit of lawlessness. We cry out to You that you would release your roar of dominion, shaking principalities and powers, exposing strongholds and illegitimate demonic networks holding lies and chaos in place, toppling every Baal structure that has led us astray. “We cry out that You would shake and awaken your Ekklesia to arise with a roar in our mouths: a roar of new authority, a roar for revival, a roar for boldness and truth. Forgive us for apathy and complacency, for playing church while our nation is being destroyed. Forgive us for being bound by religious mindsets that resist revival. Forgive us for refusing to hear Your voice, Your roar, for it Your voice that shatters the enemy (Isaiah 30:31). Awaken us to hear Your Voice. Awaken us to BE Your Voice in our nation. Give us hearts of a lion and send revival to America again. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray! Amen.” Lord, this will occur through the power that flows from Calvary. Our declaration of faith in Your sacrifice releases its power. We release it now as we honor Christ’s broken body. We partake of healing - spirit, soul, and body. And we release healing power to heal our land. (Eat the bread) Father, we know all victory comes through the cleansing blood of Jesus. His blood cleanses us individually, and it cleanses nations. Salvation is in Christ’s blood. Mercy flows from it. The blood of Jesus also empowers our prayers and decrees. Of Christ, to Christ, and through Christ are all things! He is our “every good thing!” As we partake of this covenant drink now, we decree that You are rising over America, and Your enemies are scattering!

We must not let up - let’s finish well! ______________________ Lord of the Harvest An important aspect of the coming revival will be the return of MANY prodigals. Millions! Join Ken Malone and me today as we pray regarding this. “Father, as we celebrate communion with you, we remember the price You paid for the salvation of the world. We pray for a harvest of souls in America. Our faith lies in Your promise to bring awakening to our nation. You said America shall be saved, and we believe Your spoken word. We remind You of that today. Lord, as You said in Matthew 9:38, we pray to the Lord of the Harvest and say, send forth the laborers into the harvest fields of America. Father, move on the intercessors to travail for the harvest. Release Your angel armies to minister in the harvest fields. Send the apostles, prophets, and evangelists into the fields. Send Holy Spirit. Surround the laborers with Your Presence. “Father, remember the prodigals, those who have known You and drifted away from Your house. They are hurting, and it’s time for their return. We cry out with travailing hearts for their return to You. Holy Spirit, we ask You to minister to the wayward sons and daughters. Father, bring them home to You. Visit them in their dreams and thoughts. Bring conviction and turn their hearts to You. We prophesy to them, ‘Come on home. Come home to the Father, come home to the Son, Come home to Holy Spirit.’ “Lord, we pray for the younger generations in America. You prayed in John 17:20 t for those who would believe on You. We join in that prayer and say, ‘Bring in the men, women, boys, and girls. Make them one with You.’ “Father, during this Christmas season, visit the families in our nation as they gather in homes across America. “Lord, save our nation and save the world. We pray this in Yeshua’s name.” And Father, as we take the bread today, in agreement with Ken, we do so in intercession for the prodigals. Your sacrifice at Calvary will free them and bring them home! (Eat the bread) As we drink the cup of salvation, we release the mighty power of Christ’s blood to free prodigals from sin, satan, and every stronghold of Baal! We declare that his voice is silenced in their lives!
