The Voice of Breakthrough A couple of weeks back, shortly after the hurricane, Holy Spirit focused my attention on Florida. I shared a prophetic word from Miriam Evans regarding the fires of revival beginning at the southern tip of Florida and spreading all the way up the East Coast to Maine. This week He has focused our attention on Michigan; Two trusted prophets have sent me words regarding this state. Gina Gholston sent the following: “On October 7, while in Michigan, I heard a question in my spirit: ‘Who is this that I see coming out of the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?’ (From Song of Solomon 8:5) “Then, I heard the answer to the question: ‘It’s the remnant warriors in Michigan who have not forgotten Me, and they have not forgotten My promises. They have set Me and My word as a seal upon their hearts, and they have not relinquished their faith in Me! Now, I am leading them out of the wilderness place! Their path is becoming brighter, clearly revealed as in the brightness of the noonday sun!’ “Then I saw the name, Michigan, and other words were being added. They formed this sentence: ‘Michigan will see Me again!’ “I then heard the Lord say, ‘I am coming in power to visit this land. I am releasing, even now, through My awakened body, a flow of unstoppable power that will set things in motion to reveal and uncover, then to revive and recover!’ “Then I saw the entire state of Michigan, and the Lord showed me, in its center, water bubbling up out of the ground. This water looked like a geyser ready to erupt. He said, ‘There is the swell of an underground current rising up out of this land, and it will burst forth and form into a wave of justice that will impact the nation. My roar will be heard from this land.’ “Then He showed me a wave that would be built from the geyser. This wave had a face of a lion, and the wave was cresting. I could hear a mighty roar coming from the wave. And the Lord said: ‘Where you were once muzzled, I am giving you back your voice. I am making you My mouthpiece, and out of you, I will release My sound, My roar, like the sound of many waters, and it will reverberate throughout the nation.’ “The Lord then reminded me of a word He gave me on February 9, 2020; it was as if He was saying it again, this time over Michigan: ‘My power is twirling. It is an unstoppable spin breaking the surface, in order to relieve the pressure from the “swell” of My manifested glory.’ (It was a swell in the sense of a collection of waves that formed one long, massive, continuous wave!) “‘Reformation is pushing forth! The die has been cast and cannot be stopped! The geyser is ready to be released! “‘What has been “concealed” will now be “revealed”! Watch it gush forth and release the pressure of the swell, revealing the river of My prevailing glory!’ “Then, I saw Michigan on a map. However, I didn’t see it as the shape of a mitten - I saw it as a boxing glove! And the Lord said, ‘I am about to deliver a knock-out blow from this state. It is an unexpected and fatal blow to a major agenda that has been at work in this nation! My intercessors have been lacing up the glove with their prayers, obedience, and intercession. Now I will put My hand in the glove, and I will strike the blow. From this upper state, I will deliver a shocking uppercut, and a giant will fall.’” Two days after receiving this word from Gina, our friend Barbara Yoder, an influential leader in Michigan and the nation sent the following word and exhortation, which she had released: “Several years ago in 2004, Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets came to Michigan during their 50-state tour. They prophesied that Michigan was a voice to the nation. On Sunday, October 10, 2022, God released this voice. He moved powerfully on behalf of the state of Michigan in our service. We were led first to release Michigan’s voice to our state, then to the nation! Steve Swanson wrote a song and released it for the first time in the service, a song of repentance and crying out for mercy. “We are in a critical breakthrough moment in the state of Michigan - a kairos window. God has orchestrated a strategic moment in which we can turn the battle at the gates. When a kairos window of opportunity opens, we must release the word of the Lord as a declaration for the moment. Then we must take action, grasping hold of that moment strategically, while continuing to speak into it with apostolic, declarative authority. This is such a moment! And we are releasing THE VOICE from Michigan.” Barbara then prophesied: “The portals of heaven have opened as they did for Jacob when the angels ascended and descended. There is a heavenly defense coming to America now from the north to the south, east to the west. There are companies of angels being released on assignments right now. For what has been shall not be. For we shall recover a nation that honors the babies. We’ll recover a nation that honors justice; we’ll recover a nation that has liberty and honor for all. Regardless of gender or ethnicity, we, the people of the united Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ stand together in unity. We declare that the angelic portal has been opened, and Michael and Gabriel are on assignment. There is an heir force that has been loosed in this nation… “We will be a people who will lift others up into the fullness of who they are, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or age. For we are one people, united through the blood of Jesus, shed for all of us. In Ephesians 2, Paul said we are one new man. For He has called us out of every nation, every tongue and people, and made us to be kings and priests on the earth. And I say to you that today, there is even a new movement of God regarding one new man in this place, and we will allow for nothing else. For there is a King who sits on the throne, and He has already established justice through the blood of His Son. We lift up our hands and declare that Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is our King.” Let’s join ourselves in agreement with our Michigan brothers and sisters today. Let’s decree that they will see Almighty God again! Ask Holy Spirit for the spiritual geyser spoken of to erupt and burst forth into a wave of justice in our nation. Ask Him to release His voice and deliver a knockout punch from there. One issue we can pray into specifically today is a radical, pro-abortion proposal being voted on in just a few weeks, on November 8th. According to the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Proposal 3 would: “Allow abortion up until birth; Allow minors to pursue abortions and sterilization without parental notification or consent; Exempt abortion facilities from basic health and safety regulations; Allow anyone to perform an abortion, even if they don’t have a medical license; Protect abortion providers from penalties for killing or injuring a woman during an abortion; Repeal or drastically alter dozens of state laws.”(1) Let’s agree with Michigan for the fulfillment of this incredible word, and also for the stopping of this evil legislation. Pray with me: Father, we lock arms in the spirit with our spiritual family in Michigan. We declare with them that they are a voice in this nation, a voice of justice, unity and strength. I remember well when You said in 2004 that Michigan had given away their voice, but that they could recover it. You are now saying this has occurred through the prayers, faith, and obedience of Your people there. Thank You for these words of encouragement. Thank You for our brothers and sisters there who have persevered. You stated clearly that You are now answering them. Thank You for causing their voice to be loud. Thank You for the geyser, the wave of glory that will be launched from there to the nation. And thank You for wearing them as a boxing glove, and striking a blow of defeat to evil forces in our land. Defeat this evil legislation, Proposal 3, and give Michigan righteous governmental leaders. Send the greatest outpouring of Your Spirit to Michigan that they have ever experienced. Level 10! Rock the entire state with the power of Holy Spirit. Save millions of people. Transform families, schools, governments, businesses, churches, inner cities, young, old, every race - explode into Michigan! Lord, as we highlight parts of our nation today, we also continue to lift up Florida and those who have suffered such loss there. Restore and heal. We are also aware that numerous people in our nation are struggling under adverse weather patterns. We pray for breakthroughs in their areas. Send rain where rain is desperately needed. We pray and decree these things, which we know are Your will, in the holy name of Your Son, Yeshua. Therefore, we know we will see them accomplished. Our decree: Michigan shall be saved, and its voice will be loud!

The Power of Influence I place great value on those whom the Lord has used to influence my life. Quin Sherrer is one of those people. For several years, she urged - sometimes harassed - me to write. Quin believed in my writing ability when I didn’t believe in myself. A very successful author herself, Quin shares with us today about the power of influence. “Sociologists say we will influence or be influenced by ten thousand people in our lifetime.(1) I wonder if that’s true. “But think of those who do influence us - relatives, friends, teachers, preachers, neighbors, doctors, politicians, bosses, co-workers, salesmen, repairmen and many more. “In turn, we have our own sphere of influence. People whose lives we touch. We influence. “In the upcoming Great Awakening, it is going to take many to disciple (mentor and/or influence) the thousands of new believers who will need to be taught the ways of Christ. But there are others out there right now who need our touch. In numerous ways! “Influencing is ‘the power to change or affect someone or something; to cause changes without directly forcing them to happen.’ We can choose to influence for good, not bad; to help, not hurt; to encourage, not discourage. “Paul advised: ‘Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil’ (Ephesians 5:15-16, AMPC). “God needs mature Christians to mentor new believers--to help them grow in the Lord, and to help them fulfill their destinies. While the word ‘mentoring’ isn’t mentioned in the Bible, ‘go make disciples’ was a command of Jesus. “The Bible is replete with mentoring examples: Elisha learned from Elijah. Mary, while expecting the baby Jesus, went to her older relative Elizabeth and stayed for three months. Paul took young Timothy under his care as a son and wrote him, ‘Continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know from whom you learned it’ (2 Timothy 3:14). He wrote to Titus that the older women were to train the younger women “...to love their husbands, to love their children, and to be self-controlled and pure, taking care of their households…” (Titus 2:4-5, TPT). “I’ve heard it said that every believer needs a Paul to teach him, a Barnabas to encourage him, and a Timothy to carry out what they taught. “Teressa of Avila, a 16th century nun, said, ‘Christ has no hands on earth but yours. No feet on earth but yours. No eyes of compassion on earth but yours. He has no body on earth but yours.’(2) “God is looking for ordinary people like you and me to do extraordinary things for Him by allowing Holy Spirit to use us in the lives of those with whom we interact. He wants us to reach others for Jesus--living our lives as an example and sharing our knowledge of the Bible. But He may also ask us to use our skills, abilities, advice or friendship to help them, too. “The Bible has 35 to 50 ‘one anothers’ listed in the New Testament--depending on which translation you read. Everything from ‘pray for one another,’ ‘encourage one another,’ ‘minister to one another with your gifts,’ ‘carry one another’s burdens,’ ‘instruct and counsel one another,’ ‘comfort,’ ‘serve,’ ‘forgive,’ ‘be hospitable to one another.’ If you have been through many trials, testings and temptations, you have something worthwhile to share, if you now have victory in your life. Maybe you have been through a painful divorce, the death of a spouse or parent, have become a single parent, been delivered from addiction, lost your job, or moved a lot. You can allow Holy Spirit to use you to mentor or encourage a hurting person, from your position of deep compassion. “‘The things you learned and received, heard and saw in me, these do,’ Paul wrote the Philippians from jail, (Phillipians 4:9). To the Corinthians he wrote, ‘Pattern yourselves after me [follow my example], as I imitate and follow Christ [the Messiah]’ (I Corinthians 11:1 AMPC). “One Christian author said, ‘A mentor is someone further down the road from you who is willing to hold the light and help you get there.’(3) “Last Christmas season I saw a true example of mentorship in a gas station. A man in his 40s, followed by several young kids dressed just like him - all wearing red shirts bearing a church logo - approached my car window. “We want to fill your car,’ he said. “‘Why?’ I asked. “‘Because when I was younger a Christian couple named Linda and Skip taught me to do acts of kindness. One Christmas they gave me money to fill up someone’s gas tank. So, I am teaching these young children how to bless others, just like I was taught,’ he said. “I swallowed hard to keep from crying. I had actually known Skip and Linda for quite some time, and had gone to Skip’s memorial service a few months earlier. What were the chances that my car was being filled with gas because of the influence of a Christian couple - whom I knew - on a young boy years earlier? And all while some younger children were also learning from their acts of kindness. Amazing. “Jamie Buckingham, in writing to Christians, said: ‘You may not think your field is very important. But God has set you in your field… Most of us don’t realize it, but our influence is much larger than we can imagine—and will continue for generations to come, be it good or evil. It’s a wonderful responsibility. Always remember though, Jesus is ever with you and His Spirit will whisper just the things you need to say and do.’(4) “Maybe you would like to jot down ways other people have influenced and blessed you. Then, recall ways you were a helpful influencer. Thank God for those priceless occasions! As you do, here are some thoughts to consider: “Who are some you have intentionally influenced? Perhaps you spoke wisdom into their life, helped them develop a skill, shared your testimony, or taught them the Bible? Maybe you mentored some for years, investing much time with them. “Who were the people that influenced you, who mentored, encouraged, corrected, advised, or taught you something? What lessons did you learn? What lasting words of encouragement do you cherish? Did you thank them? “Who were those you never knew but whose acts or achievements greatly influenced you? Who were the somebodies who wrote a book, painted a picture, composed music, taught you a lesson, preached a sermon, or did something so impressive you were profoundly touched? Do you have any heroes of faith? Why not share their stories?(5) “So, let’s take an active role in influencing others for God! Let’s be among those who help bring in the harvest of souls, and also mentor and influence them for Him. How about let’s start today by praying for and seeking those He wants to put in our path.” Pray with me: Father, we ask that You bless those who have made a helpful and significant influence on us. Show us those You would have us influence for Your Kingdom - during this time we are on earth, so that it will count for eternity, Give us divine opportunities and occasions to help others in their walk with You. Equip us to be the encourager You want us to be. May Holy Spirit give us wisdom, understanding, strength and counsel to carry out each assignment from You. Lord, help us look for opportunities to encourage others, to reach and teach those whom You show us need a touch from You. We desire to be Your hands and feet, speaking hope and victory, and helping those You give us, become all You intended them to be. We ask in the name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We will move out of our comfort zone, being careful to listen to Holy Spirit and minister His love to others.

Don’t Crack Under the Stress “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). When hearing these words, Joshua was about to embark on one of the most significant and challenging assignments any person could ever receive. The great leader, Moses, had died, and Joshua was assuming leadership of the nation Israel. His challenge would be more than simply leading a nation governmentally, which would have been challenging enough, but Joshua would also be doing so as a general, leading them to war. He would need to walk in great levels of faith, obedience, discernment, and wisdom. He would also need to have a hearing ear, listening carefully to Yahweh’s instructions. Success or failure would depend solely on these things. God gave him a little pep talk as these roles began. You can find this in the first chapter of Joshua, verses 1-9. Holy Spirit kept it simple: “I am now going to give Israel the land I promised Abraham; you will be the leader; I will give you victory over your enemies; be strong and courageous - don’t fear; be very careful to do everything I tell you; remember and think always about the instructions I have given you through the writings of Moses; I’ll always be with you; so, don’t dismay, allowing stress or pressure from these responsibilities to overcome you.” When Yahweh told Joshua not to be “dismayed”, the Hebrew word used is chathath, which has the meaning of cracking or breaking. One lexicon said it would be the equivalent today of “cracking under stress.” I’m not sure how encouraging it would be to receive an assignment from God, along with the admonition, “Oh, and by the way, don’t crack under the stress!” Of course, Holy Spirit wasn’t stating it in this manner. I believe He was, however, warning Joshua that great pressure came with this job, and stress overload was possible if he didn’t remember and obey the basics. If stress were allowed to steal his peace, discouragement and “dismay” would follow. The biblical definition of “peace” is consistent with being told not to “crack” under stress. The Hebrew word for peace, shalom/shalem, means unbroken, whole or complete, the opposite of chathath. An untroubled mind - that which we normally think of as peace - is actually an unbroken, un-fractured mind or emotions. To the contrary, worry is when the mind is torn or divided. (Shalem actually refers to all of one’s being, not just the mind and emotions. To be shalem is to be healthy or whole - spirit, soul, and body. The King James Bible often speaks of physical health as being “whole.” John 5:6 is but one example.) Yet another biblical word addresses this concept. Don’t be “double-minded,” James told us (James 1:8). The Greek word for double-minded is dipsuchos, which literally means “two souls.” As opposed to walking in peace - an unfractured soul - a double-minded individual is a person that has allowed his or her peace to be stolen! Trust controls part of their mind, and worry controls the other, James said this person will be unstable and unable to make a consistent stand of faith; to the contrary, they will “waver.” There is much happening in our world today that has the potential of dividing our minds, stealing our peace, and “fracturing” our souls. This can erode our faith, cause dismay, and distract us from hearing what God says. If we yield to this, not only will it produce ineffectiveness but can also rob us of health. This is why Holy Spirit tells us in Colossians 3:15 to “let the peace of God rule in your hearts.” Rule is the Greek word, brabeuo. This interesting word is taken from the athletic games of that era. Just like athletic events today, the Greeks had referees, judges, or umpires - brabeuo. We are being told by Holy Spirit to make sure the peace of God is the umpire over our souls. “Make certain you allow My peace, and only My peace, to control your mind,” God says. “This will not only keep you healthy, but it will guide you. Allow Me to make the calls regarding what you will think about, believe, and act on.” A different form of this same word was used for the “prize” or “reward” (brabeion) given to the victor in the Greek athletic games. Paul said, “I press toward the mark so that I can win the prize” - brabeion, (Philippians 3:12-14). Let me simplify Joshua’s and Paul’s theology: God’s peace will keep us stress free and in health, guide us to victory, declare us the winner, and give us the prize! Paul said to “let” the peace of God do this. How do we let or allow God's peace to be this umpire? One key is to realize that His peace is already inside of us. Galatians 5:22 tells us peace is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit in our spirits. Peace is not something we have to generate; peace is something we release. It’s not something we try to attain from without; it is something we maintain from within. When attempting to walk in peace, do not look to an outside source. Look into your heart where God has already placed His Spirit. Quieten your soul (mind and emotions), and allow your inner nature to be released. David said he had to compose and quiet his soul, like a weaned child rests against his mother (Psalm 131:2). Tell your soul to be still and allow the voice of God to be heard from within (Psalm 46:10). Pray with me: Father, just as Joshua did, we are embarking on an incredible campaign of possessing our inheritance - a national destiny of helping You redeem the world. The war for America‘s destiny is a war for worldwide harvest. We are not wrestling for material possessions, but for a spiritual inheritance. Our battle is not to maintain our American dream, but Your dream for America. As we do, many giants confront us, attempting to steal our peace. Voices clamor, confusion abounds, deception fills the atmosphere, and demons harass. But we have something stronger than all of this, we have Your peace. It is beyond human understanding, and is a life-giving, healing force within us. And Your peace is in charge! The umpire! The ruler! So we pray now for the body of Christ here and around the world, that they would allow Your peace to rise up from deep within, and be the stabilizing force they need during this season. We resist all fear, anxiety, confusion, dismay, and double-mindedness. We are strong in You, we will not waver, we will not yield, we will not lose. We pray these things in the always victorious name of Jesus, Amen. Our decree: We decree that we, the body of Christ, will be led, ruled, and sustained by the peace of God within us. Many of you have sown financial gifts to the two Hurricane Relief funds we mentioned last week. Thus far, you have given a total of almost $200,000! Thank you for sharing your love and financial support with so many who need it in Florida. If you would like to contribute, here are two pastors/churches whom I personally know and are giving 100% of the monies to those in need (no admin fees).

The Rewarding Pursuit Ceci loves to garden. While living in Colorado, her painstaking efforts were challenged, at best. Long winters, the ground never really warming up while living at 7500 feet, and summer nights always being in the 50-60’s - even during the months of July and August - made gardening nearly impossible. Therefore, tomato plants and potted herbs lined our back deck. It was a bit frustrating to a Mississippi farm girl not to be able to have her own garden with fresh-grown vegetables. She tells me there’s something about having your hands in the dirt, smelling it, feeling it flow through your fingers, and knowing it can bring life that feeds her soul. I don’t get it. I grew up playing sports, not living on a farm, as she did. Publix seems to work for me. Upon moving to the South, Ceci quickly scouted out the best “plot” for her small vegetable and herb garden. I would see her there early in the mornings, on hands and knees pulling weeds, staking tomato plants, and hoeing maverick grass that was trying to encroach upon her beloved garden. After a while, she would return to the house with dirty gloves (yes, she protects those nails), sweaty clothes, a bit sunburned, with dirt on her face. Except for the fight with rabbits who wanted to nibble the tomatoes, her gardening efforts were successful. “In the book First Things First, A. Roger Merrill tells of a business consultant who was moving into a new home. He decided to hire a friend of his to landscape the grounds. She had a doctorate in horticulture and was extremely bright and knowledgeable. . . Because [the business consultant] was very busy and traveled a lot, he kept emphasizing to her the need to create his garden in a way that would require little or no maintenance on his part. He pointed out the absolute necessity of automatic sprinklers and other labor-saving devices. . . “Finally, she stopped and said, ‘There’s one thing you need to deal with before we go any further. If there’s no gardener, there’s no garden!’”(1) As I continue to think about David and his desire to move the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem (as mentioned in yesterday’s post), I thought about the tiring process of carrying the Ark. Then I realized, if there are no tired shoulders, there will be no Ark. Some things, however, are worth long hours, sweat, substantial effort. . . and even splinters. Our world has become obsessed with convenience. Whether it be our food, travel, communication, or gardens, we’re determined to live “new cart” lifestyles. The trend has finally made it into the Church. We offer many convenient times, styles, locations, and even the choice to watch from home in your pajamas. Because our lives are so busy, we even offer condensed and abbreviated versions. Some congregations are now so efficiently convenient, they can serve you your weekly God-connection in forty-five minutes, less time than it takes to watch your favorite television show: fifteen minutes of worship, fifteen minutes of announcements and fellowship, and a fifteen-minute message. “And by the way, we promise not to mention anything that might convict or sadden you. There’ll be no sin talked about, no grieving over the lost, and no mention of social and moral injustices such as abortion, human trafficking, or the state of our nation. We strive to make it quick, easy, and pleasant.” I don’t believe our new-cart version of Christianity is God-honoring or biblical. The pleasure of His company is readily available, but it’s not cheap or convenient. It will cost you time and effort. God wants intimacy with us, but He isn’t an easy score. He expects marriage and covenant, not one-night stands. But I assure you, He is more than worth the price. David and his leaders decided to give it another try - the inconvenient way. “Let’s carry Him ourselves, on our shoulders and next to our hearts. It will be hard work and will take all day, but having His presence and glory nearby will be worth it.” “Now it was told King David, saying, ‘The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.’ David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness. And so it was that when the bearers of the Ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the Ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.” (2 Samuel 6:12-15) In the book of Chronicles’ account of this, we’re told that “God was helping the Levites who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord” (1 Chronicles 15:26). Isn’t that encouraging and so typical of God’s heart? When we honor Him by seeking His presence in the appropriate manner, He makes it easier to find Him. Our Father wants our company. He desires to spend time with us. For David, it had finally happened. The presence junkie would have unfettered access to Yahweh and His glory. He placed the Ark in a tent, called simply the “tent [or tabernacle] of David,” and filled it with 24/7 worship. (Mind you, there were no non-stop digital players; this was 24/7 worship done by individuals.) History tells us David himself spent hours at a time lingering inside. The inconvenience of the process had been rewarded with the enjoyment of His presence. Persistence, pursuit, and presence had won. This can be your story, as well. On this side of the Cross, our hearts are the tent. Wow! As unfathomable as it may seem, we are now the Holy of Holies. His presence is always with us and in us. You be the cart - that’s what He really wants. Carry Him everywhere you go. Reach for Him; He’ll reach back. Make Christ your magnificent obsession, Yahweh your papa, and Holy Spirit your daily companion. Never again settle for the substandard existence of life lived without the pleasure of His company. “We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” (2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT) Pray with me: Father, You are worthy of the highest praise and adoration, and the furthest possible reaches of our love. Jesus, there is nothing we could ever give or do or say that would be equivalent to Your great sacrifice. You’ve paid the price in full that we might have salvation, and yet, to freely bask in Your glory, there is still a price that must be paid. How can we bring You an offering that costs us nothing? Father, we repent for doing this very thing - trying to access the most exquisite of blessings while limiting You by wanting it to be easy and convenient. We confess that at times, we have been casual seekers of convenience instead of constant lovers of Your presence. Today we purpose in our hearts to give our time and effort toward fueling an intentional, passionate pursuit. May we become an Ark of Your glory and Your presence. You are worth it all. As we have been reminded today, we now refuse to live without experiencing the great pleasure of Your company, the depths of Your compassion, and the power of Your resurrection. We ask the same for our great nation. Come and visit our land. Jesus, be our magnificent obsession. In Christ’s name...amen. Decree: I pledge to live underneath the shadow of His presence and to be a passionate pursuer of His will.

The Angels Are Now Positioned Hello and thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15. We have a really special post planned for today. I have two of my comrades that run with me and work with me - my brother, Tim Sheets, who's just doing amazing things for our nation right now, hearing from God in so many ways and becoming a real trumpet here, and around the world for the Lord during this season. And then, Chuck Pierce, my friend and prophet from Texas who is truly a prophet to the nations. It's a joy to have them on today. We've never tried this before - we're going to go back and forth with our interview - if there's a slight delay don't worry about it, we'll figure this out and we'll get it done. We probably won't stick to the 15-minute time frame, but we won't go terribly long. So without taking any more time from these gentlemen, let me just hand it to Chuck and ask, “Chuck what's on your heart to talk about today?” Chuck Pierce begins to share: “Well first of all, it's an honor being with you two and, Dutch, I want to say that yesterday Destiny Image promoted our book, The Prophetic Destiny of a Nation. All of you who do not have that book, I want to encourage you to get it because it's just as important today as it was when we [Dutch and Chuck] wrote it. “Now, one thing I want to do, especially since Tim is here with us, is go back to something that occurred in December 2017. That was the month God visited me (I've tried to make a couple of slides to show you). I woke up and standing in the place where I seek the Lord was this incredible angelic being. I asked him who he was and he said that he was the angel of war for the harvest. He then showed me the world and timed the harvest ahead. Certain nations and certain states in America would all of a sudden have these incredible harvest sheaths of wheat rise up. Therefore, I could see where harvest was going to take place. Yet it was a war angel for harvest. “The first time I shared this was at Tim's church in February 2018, because he is so adept in his understanding of angels. The angel and I had a conversation, which I was in fear and trembling, regarding how the Lord of the harvest would begin to train us for these next five years that we are in [2017-2022]. That brings me to this year that we're soon entering into. This upcoming year is a year of divine recovery and the opening up of new supply lines. What a divine recovery means, is that we return to a state of authority where we are in the place of rulership, that we should be in, and especially all of us Kingdom people. We need to understand that. “Something happened when Dutch and I were in South Carolina at one of the very most important, sovereignly gathered meetings that we have been in, within the past year. We were at the Citadel (Charleston, SC) and it was the first time they had a Christian meeting come in from the outside. It was so important for our nation, for the [spiritual] war ahead. While we were there, Dutch was speaking and the Lord caught me up and showed me something happening in and around America. Now let me show you that [on the screen]. He showed me these four key war angels that had surrounded America. If you'll notice, the one that aligns with Alaska and on the other side of Hawaii - these four angels were ruling angels from North, South, East, and West. “Then something happened: all of a sudden, 51 angels surrounded America. The Lord began speaking to me and said, ‘I am getting ready to commission change.’ The angels all had their swords in their sheaths, so they were not ready to be sent for war yet. And yet, I knew they had surrounded America. Now I want to encourage each one of you: America is now surrounded by a supernatural angelic force. Then He showed me that in April, things would start changing rapidly. Each one of these angels would be sent to a state and that state would come under a divine choice for the future. If that state didn't choose, it would be harvest - one way or the other - because you're harvested based upon what you've sown. All of a sudden that angel was going to start harvesting that state based upon what had been sown in the past season and what it had been aligned with. “So I want to encourage you, I know, Dutch, that you and Tim are so focused on America where I have remained focused more on China and Russia and many other nations. But I know when God calls me to America - and he usually calls me to be with you because I need that Apostolic covering. With that, I want to say to all of us: beginning in April, there will start to be great changes in harvesting America. That means, God will begin to make it very clear concerning what is happening in each state regarding how we have sown. Therefore, the prayers that you have been sending up - they have caused America to be surrounded by these angels. Now we are headed into a whole new season where we will be very aware, beginning in April of next year [2023].” Dutch responds: “That’s awesome, Chuck, and very encouraging - very encouraging. Tim, I'm going to put you on the spot here. I don't think you've heard this - we didn't talk about what Chuck was going to say or do today, but you have a great revelation regarding angels and you have great insights regarding the nation. Jump in and tell us what you're seeing.” Tim shares: “I'll take us back to when you and I as well as others were in Tucson, Arizona. I don't remember what we called that tour, but it was four to five years ago, during the 2017 time frame. While in Tucson, I remember that after I preached, we were getting ready to make decrees. We were in a large sanctuary, it was like a box store they had made into a church, and I saw 51 angels, Chuck. I have talked about this so many times. They were all governmental angels. When they appear to me, they are wearing a purple sash - a ruling and reigning sash - so I can always identify them. “After I was done preaching, we were getting ready to make decrees in this big conference, and I saw them line up along the left side, the back wall, and along the right side. I said, ‘Holy Spirit, I've never seen this many governmental angels!’ I've seen them, but one or two, perhaps even three or four, but not 50. And He said to me, ‘There are 51, if you want to count.’ Well I didn't dare count; I'm going to take His word for it! But I leaned over and said to Dutch, ‘The governmental angels are here.’ I asked Holy Spirit, ‘Why are they here?’ He responded, ‘They're here to get their assignment. There are 51, one for each state plus Washington, DC.’ We began to make decrees over the states and as we listed each state (this must have been a two-hour session of prayers and decrees that afternoon), making the decrees over each one, that particular state-angel would leave, until I finally saw them all depart except for Washington, DC. We then concentrated on that region, decreeing the governmental authority of King Jesus into the government there; then that angel left. “Chuck, you're saying - 51 angels are surrounding the United States. I believe they are probably the governmental angels that are fueled by the decrees of the King's Ekklesia, His warring saints - His remnant. The angels take that decree as an assignment. If you think about all the assignment decrees the Ekklesias have made just in that the past five years, or the prayers, or even the prophetic words that are now synergizing together under Holy Spirit leadership - the governmental angels are assisting in each state. “I believe there is a governmental angel assigned to each Ekklesia in each state. We're coming to the point where I believe we can say in all 50 states, there is a functioning Ekklesia. It's not conceptual anymore. In other words, we're not just teaching what the Ekklesia is. I believe a governmental angel is assigned to each of these Ekklesias - maybe even several - so that the intention, calling, and purpose of the Lord for that particular region or state, that the Ekklesia is taking on that identity and cause, and the government angels are beginning to assist in those decrees. All of us together are also focusing our decrees and prayers on Washington DC, which again, these angels can stir and answer. “Then, there's another level to this, because at the beginning of summer, I began to sense a different level or order of angels that I've never experienced before. I've experienced seeing the governmental angels for 15 years, and also seeing other divisions of angels. But I’ve never experienced this particular order of angels. “During the beginning of the summer, I began to share regarding this, but I also began to experience the presence of a very powerful angel that I've never seen before. I received a prophetic word about this angel. Long story short, I came to know that it was a seraphim. This is the highest order of angels. They're the most powerful order of angels. Most theologians believe that Michael and Gabriel, although they are archangels and have additional powers and authority, are also in this order. The seraphim are those angels that minister in the throne room and carry the presence of the Lord. The Lord can commission them from the throne room to go and be part of what He's doing in the earth realm, helping the Ekklesias. “Gabriel is all over the Scriptures and we also see this mentioned in the book of Daniel. The angels were fighting to get the message through as well as the decrees that were made by Daniel. He was praying and decreeing that the prophecy would come to pass. God, from the throne room of heaven, commissioned a seraphim who was in the Throne Room - Gabriel - to go and bring the promise to pass. Gabriel battled, what I believe, is a fallen seraphim, the Prince of Persia. I believe Lucifer promotes the fallen seraphim to positions of rule or thrones in regions. So Gabriel comes and the battle is intense, but stalemated. Father then speaks to another seraphim (Michael) to go and take care of this. Michael and his angels did - similar to what God did when Lucifer fell with one-third of the Angels and some of the seraphim that went with him. God didn't get involved in that. He didn’t, Holy Spirit didn't, Jesus didn't. It wasn't as if they were overly concerned. They turned to the seraphim, Michael, and said, ‘Michael, you and your angels - take care of this.’ “Regarding the governmental angels that have been assisting us for five or six years now, I feel that there is coming another level of high-ranking angels who are coming to assist them. Now regarding the functioning decrees of an Ekklesia, to some of these governing Ekklesias, I believe God's going to release seraphim to help them as needed, and I believe DC is part of that target. I sense that the governmental angels and the seraphim are going to begin to take out the principalities over that city. I feel that's the goal. “So I'm just saying, about that same time, we saw the 51 governmental angels (as Chuck mentioned), and God is saying, ‘Now I'm going to put the highest ranking angels I have and commission them on assignments with my governmental angels and other angels, as well as with my Ekklesia. I believe we are going to win some awesome victories, preparing the way for an awesome harvest.” Dutch responds: “Chuck, do you want to jump back in?” Chuck replies: “I just want to say a couple of things. First of all, I've got that ‘Holy Spirit shake thing’ going on in me. What we're doing right here is so important for all to hear because it's something that is confirmed by the mouth of two witnesses. Tim saw the angels being sent. I saw them positioned around America, and they're carrying the decrees of the saints. They're coming to war over the harvest of America. If you're listening from another nation, you will begin to see the same thing I saw in December 2017 where I saw that the nations would actually start shifting into their harvest realm. This is one of the most amazing things I've seen. “I want to end by saying, ‘Tim, I’ve been reading in Isaiah right now, and I think of Isaiah's visitation with the seraphim. It said, ‘In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord’ because the seraphim caught him up and showed him a dimension of what would happen. There's another passage in Isaiah 6 where it talks about how the stump would come alive. One of the Hebrew meanings of this year, is the stump begins to come alive again. So what these angels are going to do is find the stump in each place [state] so they can start attempting to bring life from it. If life will not come forth, then I think everybody in that state will recognize there's something greatly wrong in their state. Dutch I want to encourage you and say that Jerusalem, our America, is being surrounded now, and we are in a time of great change. It's just like what Isaiah said and you can interpret this yourself. ‘In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord.’ So get ready - there's going to be visible reckoning that we will fully recognize, and there will not be confusion over it.” Dutch shares: “Let me just jump in for a minute and and then I'll ask both of you to pray and release anything prophetically you might have. But in this season, I keep coming back to the dream about the baseball game - World Seers Series - that showed us the four quarters of 2022. Of course, the last quarter is when the Lord revealed the enemy who was pitching for the team as Baal-zephon. In the dream, we eliminated the voice of that spirit and his ability to rule America. Of course, there's been a 15-year a battle by the praying Church - repentance, decrees, prayer assignments, and of course, the ending of Roe versus Wade - to disempower that spirit over America. But in the dream, what is significant to me that relates to this conversation is the umpires were aligned with the adversary. They were cheating in order to help the powers of darkness defeat the church. At a certain point in this last quarter, the umpire was expelled from the game. The home plate umpire and Michael the Archangel replaced him. I feel this is all saying - it's all similar in the sense that God is saying we're moving into a season now where He's releasing these high-level angelic beings - probably led by Michael - to war on our behalf and enter the game - to call the game, to release justice and help turn the nation. That was the end goal and result of the series. I believe these two encounters, what God's been saying to you both, is encouraging us that we are on schedule and our prayers and decrees are working. God is listening and they are being used to release this angelic activity. As Chuck says, it's not just for America. It's about the nations of the earth. “I was very impacted by your statement, Chuck, about divine recovery, this being a time of divine recovery. Maybe we should pray into that, maybe we should just ask the Lord for that. Feel free to share before we pray regarding what that might mean, or prophesy into it. When he's finished, Tim, if you would, also jump in.” Chuck begins to share, then prays: “I think I'll just prophesy, because regarding 51, that means there's going to be a testimony of the grace that has been developing. This will create a staking of the claim for each state and territory. That's what that number means. I decree right now that we are in agreement with what we saw, and some of you are wondering, what will become of me? I'll tell you what will happen: you will see angelic movement, because they are now positioned. Tim saw them. I had no idea about that, but knew that all of a sudden, that word burned as a word of knowledge. There were 51 of the angels that would be sent and now I believe there's seraphim, based upon what you said, and they will be timed like you said - in quarters starting in April. We need to watch how our nation focuses beginning in April. We'll have four quarters that will lead us back to the greatest change we have ever known. “So Lord, we come into agreement. Father, I know that when You reveal, You also conceal, and You also establish. Father, You have revealed this by the mouth of two witnesses, and we say, ‘Let it begin!” Time it as You have shown us through the baseball game dream. Now, Father, we loose this into motion and come into agreement with You.” Tim prays: “Amen. Our hearts and faith cry out and we say, ‘Welcome Lord Sabaoth, the Lord of angel armies, to orchestrate the plans of heaven on the earth, energizing the Ekklesias and adding the assistance of Your armies - government angels, seraphim the the mighty fiery ones that strike with power. And even as a seraphim in years gone by, took out the voice of Zechariah for a time, we declare that the angels are taking out the communication systems of the adversary, and that system will be replaced by a system of truth declared into this world by the functioning Ekklesia led by Lord Sabaoth. Holy Spirit, in the greatest outpouring that we've ever seen, is leading us into the greatest harvest we have ever seen. So we, the Ekklesia, say, ‘Welcome Lord Sabaoth, welcome, angel armies. Welcome from the Throne Room, commissioned one, assisting us in great victory. We declare this in Jesus’ name, amen.” Dutch prays: “Amen. And Lord, I agree, we all agree - all of those joining us on this post today agree this shall be so. We've moved into this new season. We release it now by faith, all around this nation and the nations of the earth. In the powerful name of Jesus, amen. “Anything else, Chuck? You want to jump in?” Chuck: “I'm just amazed. I think that would be the word.” Dutch: “Thank you both. What a great post. I know we rushed through these things quickly but that's okay. “Friends, thank all of you for joining us. It's a joy to have you with us every day and we look forward to seeing you again.” Click on the link below to watch the video:

Raise the Standard! In yesterday's post I spoke of young, prophetic revivalists being raised up in this season. (“Young” is getting older as I “mature.”) I mentioned my friend, Larry Sparks, as being one of these voices. In today’s post, I want to share from Larry’s great book on revival, entitled Pentecostal Fire. This is truly one of the best books I’ve read on this subject. I can’t recommend it strongly enough. In Chapter 2, Larry says: “‘Tell My Ekklesia to raise the bar, and I’ll raise the anointing. Raise the bar, and I’ll pour out a fresh, new Pentecost greater than Acts 2.’ (1) “This is a prophetic statement that the Holy Spirit communicated to Pastor Tim Sheets (Oasis Church, Middletown, Ohio). Pastor Bill Johnson emphatically states that ‘Pentecost is the standard for church life.’ (2) When we deviate from the standard, we rob believers of walking in their supernatural Holy Spirit inheritance… “Scripture tells me that ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8). It tells me that it is possible for someone’s shadow to heal the sick, for anointed pieces of clothing to deliver the demonized, and for extraordinary miracles to be performed by the hands of ordinary people (see Acts 5:15; 19:11-12). It tells me that it’s possible for entire cities and regions to come to repentance (see John 3:6, Acts 8:8). Jesus Himself provokes us to believe for ‘greater works’ (John 14:12). But there is one thing the Bible does not tell me: ‘God stopped moving in power.’ I cover this extensively in my book Accessing the Greater Glory, but in short, there is no solid theological argument to legitimately affirm the ceasing of the supernatural power of God (commonly called cessationism). Often, critics of the continuing move of the Spirit, especially through power gifts of tongues, healing, and prophecy, cite that these unusual demonstrations of God ceased when the canon of Scripture was closed, and the last apostle died. We are not claiming any additions to the canon of Scripture, nor do we assert that any leader today, especially those who don the title ‘apostle,’ come anywhere close to the uniqueness established by the original twelve apostles. We simply believe that Jesus established a timeless model that the early church boldly demonstrated and the church today has an invitation to step into. Doing Things God’s Way “‘If we want a genuine revival, we will have to do things God’s way,’ says John Kilpatrick (3) “We have tried Christianity our way, and it hasn’t worked. My friend, revivalist, and author Jessi Green encourages people to perform an honest evaluation on their faith and ask: ‘Is your Christianity working?’ When I consider where we are right now in history, I am convinced that contemporary Christianity hasn’t performed up to the standard set in the Book of Acts. God has graciously blessed us with a level of success, seeing people genuinely converted. He is so kind, gracious, and merciful. I celebrate all the true progress that has been made. But as the world grows darker and society continues to plummet into unspeakable depths of chaos and depravity, we become increasingly aware that the solution is not trying to repackage the world using Christian jargon. They simply don’t want it. “Isaiah 60:2 speaks of people who are under the influence of ‘deep’ or thick darkness. This certainly speaks of the innumerable souls who wander through life without Christ, without hope. They are bombarded with darkness day after day. When they cross the threshold into our churches, they do not want Hollywood or Broadway. They don’t want Christian leaders to insult them by trying to give them a worldly church. We have been entrusted with the otherworldly in the Person of the Holy Spirit; let’s freely give as we have freely received. I repeat, people who don’t know Jesus, or have moved away from Christianity, are not seeking entertainment; they groan to encounter the real and living presence of God… Pentecost Looks Like Something “The Lord is calling us to raise the standard so that we can witness a greater demonstration of Holy Spirit anointing and power in our day. If we have low expectations for Christianity, we will continue to settle for a low demonstration. But what if we actually believed that the Book of Acts gave us a standard for what life should be like? What if Pentecost was the standard for Christianity throughout all periods in history, not just the first-century Church? “This book is a journey back to the priorities of the early Church, the priorities of Pentecost, as I am convinced Pentecost will serve as a prophetic blueprint for the end-time Church. We must recapture the fire that burned in the first three hundred years of Christianity if we are going to step into the greater works that Jesus announced would be possible to those filled with the Holy Spirit. “Jesus had a clear vision of what the Church should look like prior to His return. Paul articulates this to the Church in Ephesus by giving us this beautiful picture of what the Son of God is searching for at His Second Coming: ‘So that He might sanctify her [the Church, His Bride], having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, that He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless’ (Ephesians 5:26-27 NASB). Meditate on that one stunning phrase: ‘the Church in all her glory.’ Wow! He is not coming back for something that is breaking down and falling apart. Pastor Kim Owens boldly declares that ‘Jesus is coming back for a Church that’s in revival.’ On the basis of Ephesians 5, I would agree with that statement. He is coming back for a people that are filled with glory! “We need to define Pentecost clearly if we are going to use it as the standard and model for Christianity today. After all, many hear the word Pentecost and think of either a denomination or a certain ‘flavor’ of Christianity. Pentecost is not a personality. Pentecost is not a preference or style of church. Pentecost is not a denomination. Pentecost was not a dispensation or era. Pentecost was not in the back room; it was front and center. Pentecost was the way of life for the early Church. And Pentecost introduces us to the more of God that is available now. “Many believers today are living like the disciples in Acts 19. They simply do not know there is more of God for them to experience: ‘And it happened while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples, he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit”’ (Acts 19:1-2). “By using the phrase ‘there is more,’ I am not encouraging you to go outside the confines of Scripture to seek for some unbiblical experience. Far from it. For too long we have read the Bible at a distance, thinking such supernatural experiences were exclusive to the Bible days. The canon is closed, but God has not changed. When did we officially exit the so-called Bible days? “Francis Chan wrote in his prophetic book Letters to the Church that ‘We have become too easily satisfied. We are content if a person leaves [church] pleased. God wants them awed.’ (4) It’s time for a generation to experience a God who leaves us undone in breathless awe and wonder. Perhaps we have not seen more of these kinds of experiences in our present day because we have not even considered them as an option. Thus, we have comfortably resigned ourselves to a status quo spiritual existence, all the while longing inside for someone to provoke us to pursue the more. “The great British preacher and orator Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones poignantly reminded us that ‘We were never meant to be content with a little.’ My friend, there is more. It’s available, and it’s accessible!” Pray with me: Father, as Larry makes clear in his book, revival is not off somewhere in the distance; it is here now. Help us to catch up with You. Turn up the revelation dial, enabling the church to recognize the times and seasons. Awaken our faith to embrace the opportunity before us. Break us out of comfort zones, preconceived ideas, religious routines, and hesitancy to change. Renew our wineskins, making them flexible and ready to receive Your “now” words and activities. We decree now what You have stated prophetically to us, “It is time!” We ask for the fire to intensify, the revival fires we spoke of in yesterday’s post…the fires You showed in a dream, beginning in Florida and going all the way up the East Coast of America. But others have seen this fire spread westward, and also from the west coast back to the east. It is clear that You want Your revival fire everywhere in this country. We call forth this fire with our declarations of faith and in agreement with Your words. Send it now, we pray. Raise up many prophetic revivalists in our day. Do it here in America and around the world. May the greatest generation of revivalists in history be unleashed. Give them great wisdom, boldness, revelation, power, and zeal. Perform great miracles through them, extraordinary miracles, and use them to produce shocking deliverances. Save a billion souls through them! May it be said of them as it was the early church, “They turned their world upside down.” We pray and decree these things in the most powerful name in heaven and earth, Yeshua, our Messiah. Amen. Our decree: We decree that Pentecost fire is springing up in the earth and will not be quenched. Today’s post was taken from the book Pentecostal Fire written by my friend Larry Sparks.

Fires of Awakening Coming to the East Coast Florida continues to “pop up” on my radar. Actually, this word/dream I’m about to share with you begins in Florida but includes the entire East Coast, all the way up I-95 to Maine. In light of the devastating hurricane that decimated so much of Florida, I know this word will be an encouragement to many. It was given to Miriam Evans. She and her husband, Tommy, are two of many prophetic revivalists God is raising up in this hour. Miriam says: “In 2018, while ministering in Miami, Florida, I had a disturbing conversation with a pastor. He had been told by an influential Christian leader that Miami was considered a ‘pastor’s graveyard,’ due to the lack of spiritual hunger and zeal on the East Coast. “Processing this statement later that night, I could not accept it; I felt it was a false prophetic word. ‘Holy Spirit, show me what Jesus paid for in that region,’ I prayed. He responded by giving me a dream - that very night! “In the dream, I was at a beach in Miami. A large foot and leg appeared, touching the shore of Florida. This being was so large I could only see his foot and leg; the rest of his body was above the clouds. I heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘This is the Angel of Awakening.’ I immediately remembered the passage in Zechariah 4 where an angel ‘awakened [Zechariah] like a man who is awakened out of his sleep,’ (verse 1). The angel then delivered to Zechariah a message about God reviving the nation of Israel. “As the angel stepped on the shores of Florida, a fire ignited and immediately ran up the eastern corridor of America, from Miami to Maine. I then heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘This land [the East Coast] will be known as the “Land of The Rising SON.”’ “I woke up knowing that Jesus paid for this nation to be revived, and HE had the final word over the East Coast, as well as our entire nation. Then I heard the Holy Spirit speak Malachi 4:2, ‘But for you who fear My name, the Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.’ “I have held that word in my heart since 2018. In May of this year, I began asking God where we should partner with Him to see revival in America. In response, I kept seeing a mental picture of an I-95 sign. Since I live in Dallas, Texas, and we do not have that interstate here, I was unfamiliar with its location. So, I did what any spiritual person would do and Googled, ‘Where is I-95?’ To my surprise, I saw that Interstate 95 runs from Miami, Florida, to Maine. I then heard the Lord say, ‘Now is the time for the fulfillment of the vision I gave you in 2018. The work begins now.’ “Since that time, my husband and I, along with Larry Sparks, have made an intentional effort to advance the Kingdom and contend for revival along the I-95 corridor. We have discovered that along the East Coast, a supernatural hunger has been released, and grace for revival has been imparted. This hunger is one of the signs that a mighty awakening is imminent. “The Holy Spirit is preparing the church for greater glory, through which the manifest presence of God will be seen and felt in this region and across our nation. This tsunami wave of glory will usher in miracles, signs and wonders. The ‘greater works’ Jesus spoke of in John 14:12 will be seen. These miracles will be a ‘sickle’ used to gather a harvest for King Jesus. This wave is rising. NOW is the time to prepare, act, and gather - for the harvest is here!” The Evans and my friend, Larry Sparks, another prophetic revivalist, aren’t the only ones to travel the east coast fanning the flames of revival. My friend, Ken Malone, drove Route 1 from Florida to Maine several years ago, praying and calling forth what is now beginning. I love it when a plan comes together! And I love it when faithful warriors honor the Word of the Lord in these ways. Some plant, some water, some reap - same team! I was with my friends, Brian and Bren Gibbs, a couple of months ago for a gathering in Sarasota. It was so powerful. The Gibbs and others are fanning the flames of revival on the west coast of Florida. I’ll be with my above-mentioned friend, Ken Malone, this upcoming weekend. We will be fanning the flames on the east coast of Florida. Florida shall be saved! But remember, this dream also said the glory revival will not be limited to Florida. The fires of revival will shoot up the East Coast of America, all the way to Maine. New England will be ablaze with revival. Maryland, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, you all have a tidal wave of God’s glory headed your way. This will save you! To all believers in this region of America, waste no opportunity to decree the release of revival over your region. Declare it over your homes, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, inner cities, governments, and churches. Release the convicting and saving power of Holy Spirit over your community, city, and state. Call forth gifts and anointings for signs, wonders, miracles, and great deliverances. Pastors and leaders, prepare for harvest. We are moving into earth’s greatest revival, the most significant and broad-reaching campaign Holy Spirit has ever initiated for the Kingdom of God. Believe this - and take action! Pray with me: Father, we continue to lift up the people in Florida. We pray not only for their physical and financial recovery, we pray for their supernatural, spiritual recovery. Comfort the hurting, restore hope to those who have none, and expedite the overall recovery. But also send a tidal wave of glory - mighty fires of revival. We release gifts and anointings for the miraculous. We release gifts and anointings for evangelism, intercession, strong and passionate worship, and revelatory teaching. Send revivals to every town, city, and county in Florida, and up the East Coast of America. We call forth revival fire in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York, and all throughout New England. We ask for this, especially in schools, colleges, and universities. You are coming to save our children and youth from the lies, perversions, and deceptions that have been promulgated upon them. You will awaken them to who You are. You will restore to them God-given destinies. You will love them with a love like no other. Come and do this now, we pray. And since we know this is Your will, and we do ask it in the name of Christ, we know this prayer will be answered. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the fires of revival and awakening are traveling up and down the East Coast of America. Portions of today’s post were contributed by Miriam Evans.

Running with Angels This season has been anything but boring. During YouTube’s week-long censorship of us, I participated in 4 significant gatherings in 4 states, over a 5 day period. In 3 of the 4 meetings I spoke on the World Seers Series dream, which we reposted last week. In this dream, the Ekklesia was playing a championship baseball game against the kingdom of darkness. Our fourth batter - representing the fourth quarter of 2022 - removed the voice and control of the opposing pitcher by hitting a baseball into his throat. The pitcher was a spirit, Baal-zephon (See Exodus 14). Before this occurred in the dream, Holy Spirit had stated, “Hit the ball at his throat. Remove his voice…If you hit the mark it will change this game.” These last 3 months of 2022 are incredibly significant. If we “hit the mark” - one of the meanings of the Hebrew word for intercession (paga) - it will change the game in America. Baal’s hold over our nation will be broken. Another significant occurrence in this last quarter of the dream was the removing of the home plate umpire, who had been cheating for the kingdom of darkness, and the insertion of the archangel Michael to replace him. Michael is about to enter the contest! As an amazing confirmation, my brother, Tim, has received a strong word from the Lord regarding Michael and other high-ranking angels being sent in this season to help us. Tim is one of the leading scholars on angels; his books on this subject are the best I know of. Holy Spirit often allows him to see angels and speaks to him regarding their activities. Tim said: “God’s purposes are coming together in supernaturally accelerated ways. Promises, dreams, visions and prophecies are surging into this moment. God invites us to participate in His purposes through prayer, faith decrees, worship and embracing who we truly are: sons and daughters of God possessing Kingdom authority to reign with Christ in this life, as Paul said in Romans 5:17. “Recently, Holy Spirit spoke to me, ‘Now begins a merger of the earthly and heavenly realms of Christ’s spiritual Kingdom in ways and levels never before seen. This merger will accelerate a new era Pentecost. Power and Kingdom authority will be seen on earth as never before. I’m merging the Kingdom of heaven with earth and pouring out My Spirit in far greater measure. I am giving you assistance I’ve given no other generation. I have prepared you to work with My angels at levels no other generation has experienced.’ “I have seen more angels this past year than I’ve seen in the last 15 years combined. I know this is due to the planned purposes of God for this time. I have seen multiple divisions of angels that are assigned to work in government, and others that produce revival, awakening, reformation and alignment. There has also been an acceleration of angels assigned to minister to children and youth. “In one of our services just a few weeks ago, I saw more angels present than I have ever seen before - hundreds of them. I saw the two angels assigned to each person’s life, standing with them. There was a powerful, weighty presence of King Jesus in the room. Clearly, something in Christ’s Kingdom is amping up. “Recently Holy Spirit has begun revealing to me another division of angels being sent to assist the Ekklesia: the Seraphim order of angels. These are the highest ranking angels we know of. They are incredibly powerful beings that carry the delegated authority of the Godhead. Most theologians believe Michael and Gabriel are part of the Seraphim order. The Seraphim minister in God’s Throne Room. They provide protection and proclaim the holiness of God, declaring ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord’ (Isaiah 6:3). Seraphim are also angels of fire, which the prophet Ezekiel described as being capable of striking things on earth with God’s power (see Ezekiel 1, 10). God commissions these angels into the earth realm to assist His people. They empower the decrees of the Ekklesia, striking God’s enemies with His lightning-like power. “There is another aspect of the ministry of Seraphim I believe God is accelerating into our times. The first chapter of Luke tells us of Zechariah, a priest that ministered at the altar of the Lord. He and his wife, Elizabeth, wanted children but Elizabeth was barren. God sent Gabriel, a Seraphim from the Throne Room, with His message to them: ‘God has heard your prayers. You will have a son and you are to call his name John. He will have the spirit of Elijah upon him and will prepare the way for the Messiah.’ This word was so overwhelming it caused Zechariah to doubt if it was true. In disbelief he questioned the angel, ‘How do I know if this is really true? Is there a sign you can give me?’ The angel said to him, ‘I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and He sent me to tell you this. Because you question my veracity, here’s your sign. You will be unable to speak until the child is born’ (see Luke 1:5-20). Zechariah’s voice was indeed silenced until the birth of his son. “In this account, a Seraphim was able to stop the ability of a human to communicate. Would they not be capable of affecting the communication systems of those who are enemies of God and His people today? I believe this is one of the reasons God has now sent His Seraphim order to we, the Ekklesia - to help stop the communication of evil in our land and assist in enforcing the decrees of the King’s Ekklesia. Mighty angels are here to help us silence demons and disrupt their influence. They are here to assist us in overcoming perversion, idolatry, dark deceptions, sexual confusion and the worship of Baal through abortion. We need angelic assistance to silence those actively promoting anti-Christ ideologies. They will expose wicked communication and tear down strongholds in government, education, media, big tech, arts and entertainment, and religion. “Hebrews 1:13-14 tells us that angels minister to and assist (diakonia) the heirs of salvation.(1) In Revelation 22:1-7, Apostle John received a word from a Throne Room messenger (which implies it was a Seraphim). When he saw the angel, John knelt, but the angel stopped him saying, ‘I am your fellow servant, and the fellow servant of your brethren, the prophets and to all those who keep the sayings of this book’ (verse 9). Fellow servant is the Greek word sundoulos, meaning ‘to run together with; to serve the same master, plan or cause’. It also means ‘co-servant’ or ‘to be on the same team.’(2) “Using these definitions, we are told that angels are ‘on the same team’ as Christ’s heirs, assigned to ‘run with’ them. They are commissioned to serve the purposes of God with the Ekklesia as they conduct Kingdom business on earth. Psalm 103 tells us angels engage and help connect decrees to their moment, bringing them to pass (verses 20-21). Angels are one of the ways through which Holy Spirit gives us the advantage. Decree God’s words - fuel the angels! Pray with me: Lord, we pray for an outpouring of Your Spirit on our sons, daughters and grandchildren. We pray that a Jesus movement greater than any before would begin to sweep across America and throughout the world. We bind lying spirits assigned to generate evil communication. You have sent Your angels to help us win a great harvest. Our children will sing Your songs, dream Your dreams, minister under the anointing of Holy Spirit, and be mighty members of Your Kingdom. Hell will not stop this. We pray that Your angels would activate and empower this across the world. It is time! We pray for an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit that will bring light into the darkness. Let it accelerate according to Your plans. Father, we continue to pray for those impacted by Hurricane Ian. Comfort those who have lost family members, encourage those who have lost possessions. We lift their arms through prayer - sustain and strengthen them. Give churches in Florida strategies and resources to serve and lead many to you. And lastly, we fuel the greatest revival in world history with our prayers. It is coming and will not be stopped. Send many angels to assist in this. We pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that Holy Spirit is being poured out in great measure and power, producing unquenchable fire and world-wide revival.

Sending Hope to Florida Never underestimate the power of hope! The Old Testament word for hope has the connotation of a cord, used as an attachment; the New Testament calls it “an anchor of the soul” (Hebrews 6:19). Hope is a lifeline, a stabilizer. In 1965 during a family reunion in Florida, a grandmother woke everyone at 1:00 AM, issuing orders to get empty Coke bottles, corks, and paper. “I’ve received a message from God,” she said. “People must hear His Word.” She wrote verses on the paper while the grandchildren bottled and corked them. Then everyone deposited over two hundred bottles into the surf at Cocoa Beach. People contacted and thanked her for the Scriptures throughout the years. She died in November 1974. The next month the last letter arrived. Dear Mrs. Gause, I’m writing this letter by candlelight. We no longer have electricity on the farm. My husband was killed in the fall when the tractor overturned. He left eleven young children and myself behind. The bank is foreclosing, there’s one loaf of bread left, there’s snow on the ground, and Christmas is two weeks away. I prayed for forgiveness before I went to drown myself. The river has been frozen over for weeks, so I didn’t think it would take long. When I broke the ice, a Coke bottle floated up. I opened it, and with tears and trembling hands, I read about hope. Ecclesiastes 9:4: “But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.” You went on to reference other Scriptures: Hebrews 7:19; 6:18; John 3:3. I came home and read my Bible, and now I’m thanking God for the message. We’re going to make it now. Please pray for us, but we’re all right. May God Bless you and yours. A Farm in Ohio (1) How did this life-saving Coke bottle make a nine-year journey all the way from Cocoa Beach, Florida, to a river in Ohio? Not just any river, mind you, but the right river, near the right farm, at the right time. I can almost hear the “Mrs. Gause Coke Bottle Angel Patrol” heaving a sigh of relief when the last message of hope was delivered nine years after it had been sent. And I can imagine God’s explanation to the angels: “This last one will be a Christmas present, much like the first one I delivered to hopeless humans two thousand years ago.” Coke bottles were transferred into hope bottles - three of the four verses in the bottle were about hope. Interesting. The bottles didn’t contain verses regarding power, miracles, or even provision, all of which this lady desperately needed. Why? Because these things are produced after we hope. The demoralizing power of hopelessness paralyzes the soul; hopeless hearts can’t reach out in faith. Hope is to the heart what seeds are to the earth. Without hope, life is sterile, unfruitful - dreams won’t be conceived, destinies won’t be realized. Hope is essential because it is the starting line, the genesis, the launch pad. It is the incubator where faith is formed: “Faith is the substance of things HOPED for,” God tells us (Hebrews 11:1, KJV). If there is no hope for the future, there will be no faith to face it - let alone build it. Or, in the case of many Floridians, rebuild it. Just as one of your residents sent angel-guided messages of hope to many, we now send a message of hope - accompanied by prayers - to you, Florida. In 2012 I bought a home in Dallas with a tree in my backyard I named The Hope Tree. I gave it that name because it used to be dead - or so the previous homeowners thought. While speaking with the former owner when I was considering purchasing the house, he told me that not only had the tree died, but he had cut it down. There was nothing left but a stump! It doesn’t get much deader than that! “Then I put in a sprinkler system,” he told me. “I placed one of the sprinkler heads next to the stump, and the tree grew back!” What?! I stood next to him, looking at the tree. This was not a wannabe tree consisting of two or three small sprigs, mind you, but a complete tree. Immediately I thought about the passage where God speaks about this never-say-die kind of tree: “For there is hope for a tree when it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its shoots will not fail. Though its roots grew old in the ground, and its stump dies in the dry soil, at the scent of water, it will flourish and put forth sprigs like a plant.” (Job 14:7-9) Why had this passage from Job come to my mind so quickly? Amazingly, in that season, I had been encouraging myself with these exact verses from Job as I prayed for America. “You can revive America’s destiny and cause us to be great again, Lord,” I prayed often. Imagine my shock and amazement as I looked at the tree before me, a perfect picture of the Scriptures I had been standing on. I bought the home, and that tree became my daily reminder of the validity and power of audacious hope. Like me, many people in this season are looking for hope. Life can be difficult, at times, brutal. The struggling economy is stealing jobs and destroying the dreams of many; diseases seem to have multiplied, ravaging the health of some and taking the lives of others; our kids cut themselves and shoot their classmates; our government is broken and refuses to reform; and the entire world, it seems, is filled with unrest. Stumps abound…and then, once in a while, hurricanes appear. You are not at the mercy of life’s unpredictable winds and currents, Florida. This storm won’t destroy you. You will win. Through the power of hope and its ability to connect you to God, your song will be restored, and you will sing again. The great poet Emily Dickinson captured the sustaining power of hope in one of her beautiful poems: Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tunes without the words And never stops at all. (2) Don’t stop singing, Florida. We need your song. Pray with me: Father, we lift the people of Florida up to You. Life has dealt many of them a very difficult blow. But You are a very present help in times of trouble. Send them help in the form of peace, strength, hope, and provision. Sustain them with Holy Spirit’s comfort and power. Remind those who know You that in all things they are more than conquerors through Christ, and that nothing will separate them from His love. We pray for Governor DeSantis and his team, who will need to make many decisions. Please give them great wisdom as they rebuild their state. And with our focus on Florida, we pray for a great revival to come to this region of our nation. May it start in Florida and go up the coast, all the way to Maine. Save millions of people. You never waste what satan means for harm. We call upon this principle now and speak spiritual life into Florida and up the east coast of America. We pray all of this in the all-powerful name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We decree that hope will rise in Florida, and Holy Spirit’s resurrection power will be released over this state.

Weary, Yet Pursuing This is our first post since YouTube suspended us for a week. At times we post services/meetings where I’m a guest. We shared one a week ago that YouTube didn’t like and censored us. It’s good to be back. I have been asked by my team to request that those of you who do not follow us on Facebook or have not yet subscribed to our email list, please do one or the other (You can easily subscribe to our emails by going to my website: dutchsheets.org). In a letter sent by email and on Facebook, we gave explanations regarding what was happening, and the re-posts we would be releasing for the next several days (this past week). If you do subscribe to our email list, you will receive our emails and explanations such as this, and any other important information. This is our first line of communication that cannot be censored. Note also that we are now on all podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc. We also told you I would be releasing a full-length teaching today regarding what I believe Holy Spirit is currently saying to America. This is such an important time. However, due to hurricane Ian which devastated Florida early Thursday morning and is now circling back into our area, we have been busy battening down the hatches and preparing in other ways. Because of this, I will not be able to record and release this teaching until early next week. I apologize for the delay, but this is obviously out of our control. God has certainly used the downtime from writing and recording new posts to involve us in other strategic gatherings. Over the last five days, I have spoken and been involved in 4 important prayer events in 4 different states. I feel like Gideon's army of 300 pursuing their enemies in the book of Judges. It was said of them that they were “weary, yet pursuing” (Judges 8:4). As you know, we are living in incredibly strategic times. The powers of darkness have pulled out all the stops in attempting to maintain their hold on America and influence the earth. Faced with crises throughout the world, along with ethical and moral decay here in America - exacerbated by an inept and ungodly government - we find ourselves in perilous times. “Business as usual” is certainly no longer an option. In his publication, The American Crisis, Thomas Paine said, “These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” (December 23, 1776)(1) History.com tells us that “When these phrases appeared in the pages of the Pennsylvania Journal for the first time, General George Washington’s troops were encamped at McKonkey’s Ferry on the Delaware River opposite Trenton, New Jersey. In August, they had suffered humiliating defeats and lost New York City to British troops. Between September and December, 11,000 American volunteers gave up the fight and returned to their families. General Washington could foresee [a revolution] without an army if the rest of his men returned home when their service contracts expired on December 31. He knew that without an upswing in morale and a significant victory, the American Revolution would come to a swift and humiliating end. “Thomas Paine was similarly astute. His Common Sense was the clarion call that began the revolution. As Washington’s troops retreated from New York through New Jersey, Paine again rose to the challenge of literary warfare. With American Crisis, he delivered the words that would salvage the revolution. “Washington commanded that the freshly printed pamphlet be read aloud to his dispirited men; the rousing prose had its intended effect. Reciting Paine’s impassioned words, the beleaguered troops mustered their remaining hopes for victory and crossed the icy Delaware River to defeat hung-over Hessians on Christmas night and on January 2, the British army’s best general, Earl Cornwallis, at the Battle of Princeton. With victory in New Jersey, Washington won not only two battles, but also the love and thanks of man and woman.”(2) Some will accuse me of sensationalism and exaggeration by comparing America’s War of Independence with our cause today. Yet the destiny of our nation and the nations of the earth are no less at stake. America’s rebellion from God, the abandoning of its basic moral code, and its rejection of truth - not to mention common sense - have, indeed, placed us on life support. French diplomat and philosopher Alex de Tocqueville, when writing about America in 1831, is widely quoted as saying: “I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; and her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought it for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution. “Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits a flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”(3) Sadly, Alex de Tocqueville was right. We have ceased to be good and, thereby, ceased to be great. A nation that traffics aborted baby body parts, castrates its children, and mutilates their bodies - all in the name of love - is a depraved nation. And the flaming pulpits he observed? Sadly, most of America's churches are asleep, some totally apostate. Our government is deceived, openly rejecting God, while our education system propagandizes, teaching that the most benevolent and liberty-producing nation in the world is evil, while sending drag queens to dance for kindergartners. Do I believe America’s run is over? Those of you who follow me at any level know I do not believe this. Accurately assessing a problem is not equivalent to a lack of faith. Abraham acknowledged that he and Sarah would need the resurrection power of God in order to conceive Isaac. Yet, they believed (Romans 4:16-21). I, too, believe. Yet, the facts tell us we need more than a course correction. We, like Abraham and Sarah, need a resurrection, one which can only come through a true, massive, revival of historic proportions. A Third Great Awakening. This will occur if the Ekklesia does not lose heart and give up. We have moved into a season in which we can win this war for the soul of America. Like Abraham and Sarah, we can see this needed resurrection. God has said prophetically that He is offering us mercy, and this will occur if we persevere in our prayers and obedience. Please, stay the course! Pray with me: Father, we ask for the cleansing of America’s sin through the precious blood of Jesus. Your Word tells us that His blood cleanses us from ALL sin and unrighteousness. The depravity of America’s sin and her rejection of You is cause for great shame. And yet, as we weep over our evil ways and loss of spiritual life, we have faith in Your mercy and grace. Make America good again. We ask for Your salvation to flood into this nation. Bring Your conviction of sin, a renewed hunger for You, and an awakening of our corporate conscience. Turn this into repentance, resulting in a release of resurrection life. You delight in mercy - and we will receive this mercy through Christ. We know the last quarter of this year is profoundly important. Motivate the praying church to rise up as never before and contend for America‘s life. Re-light the flames of intercession where they have dwindled, and bring Your fire and passion. Give us strategy for this season. Retune the Liberty Bell, restore our destiny, and SAVE A BILLION PEOPLE HERE AND AROUND THE WORLD. We ask this in the unfailing name of Jesus. Our decree: We decree that America will be good again, and her greatness will be reborn.

As you know by now, we are on day 4 of review. We have received a strike from YouTube, meaning they are censoring us. They will not allow us to post any new content for 1 more day. Therefore, we have taken Monday-Thursday of this week to review older, strategic teachings which are needed before I share a NEW MESSAGE tomorrow, Friday, 9/30. I hope you have enjoyed these days of review. The World Seers Series (Part 4) On Monday (9/26/2022) we began discussing a dream about America, given to my friend Greg Hood. This is a very enlightening and important dream, filled with insight and revelation. (Though we are looking at it in segments, I will once again post the entire dream at the end of today’s post. I know many of you like to see the entire dream in one sitting.) REVIEW I will do very little review in today’s post since it would consume so much of the time. You may want to reread Monday’s-Wednesday’s posts (1/10-12/2022 or 9/26-29/2022) to refresh your memory. You certainly should try and do so if you did not see them. In the dream, a baseball team comprised of spiritual leaders in the church and representing the Kingdom of God, was playing in the World Seers Series. This was the last game of the series, the 8th inning, we were winning but the score was close, and we were very focused. Then the Holy Spirit initiated a change of strategy. Through this strategy, we were able to load the bases and position ourselves to win the game. Again, if you have not done so, please take a look at Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s posts. THE DREAM (continued) “…As we were watching this, a phone rang in our dugout. Dutch answered it. We could see him looking up and behind home plate into one of the skyboxes as he talked on the phone. He was speaking to our team owner, who said to Dutch, ‘You are to pinch-hit. We have a wicket here to not only win the game but to win big. Dutch, you know this pitcher. He has lost big games before. He is not what he has made himself out to be. Be patient and don’t be distracted by what he will throw at you. He wants to get your eyes off the pennant.’ “Dutch hung up the phone and said, ‘Hood, hand me my bat. I’ve been instructed to pinch-hit.’ I (Greg) reached for Dutch’s bat and pulled it from a large wooden communion box where it was locked away. As I removed it I could see clearly that the bat had inscribed on it ‘Ephesians 1:17.’ I handed it to Dutch as he said to me, ‘What direction should I launch the ball?’ “I said to Dutch, ‘Straight for the throat of the pitcher! Remove his voice!’ “Dutch replied with a smile on his face, ‘You know, many will think this is a dirty and illegal move on our part. But what the heck, we won’t allow them to force us to play by their rules anymore. We play ball for the Royal.’ “As Dutch walked to the batter’s box I said, ‘If you hit the mark it will change this game.’ “The pitcher approached the batter’s box as Dutch stepped into it and said to him, ‘I am here to take you and this weak team out once and for all. You have no hope of making it out of this batter’s box in your right mind. This is my season and you will not steal it from me!’ “Dutch stepped up to him, just an inch from his face, and spoke with a firm and bold voice, ‘I am here to uncover you. Now go back to your perch and throw the ball if you dare!’ “As he walked back to the pitcher’s mound we could see his name on the back of his jersey. Thus far in the dream, we had not known who he was or who this team was. Written there was the name, ‘Zephon.’ “He released his first pitch and it was not aimed anywhere close to home plate, sailing over the stadium wall behind home plate, hitting a bus in the parking lot and putting a large dent in the back left side of it. An alarm sounded with a very distinct sound. We knew this was our team’s bus. The umpire shouted, ‘STRIKE ONE!’ “The opposing coach came to the pitcher’s mound again and brought the pitcher, Zephon, another baseball glove. It was a left-hander’s glove and an old, greasy-looking ball which flew into the dugout. The umpire shouted ‘STRIKE TWO!’ Then he said to the pitcher, ‘You only have one strike left.’ “It was at this point in the dream that we noticed the umpire was wearing a white medical type coat with the insignia of a pharmacist on it. Dutch turned to the umpire and said to him, ‘You are no longer allowed to call this game; we remove you, and Michael will take your place!’ (I don’t know who Michael was in the dream but it seemed he was the angel.) Dutch then turned to the pitcher and said, ‘Throw your ball. This is your last pitch but not my last ball! I will deliver the third strike to you and your house!’ “Zephon threw the ball and Dutch hit it with a powerful swing. The ball went to its mark and struck the throat of the pitcher, taking his voice and his strength. Zephon was removed from the game. We knew in the dream the game had changed and he would never pitch again.” End of Dream MY THOUGHTS We are winning 22 to 20. The bases are loaded. The owner of the team in the skybox is obviously the Lord in heaven. He called me and told me to pinch-hit. I realize this could represent an assignment for me personally, but often in dreams of this nature I simply picture the Ekklesia (those in the body of Christ who understand their authority and the governmental calling of Matthew 16:18-19) and the prayer movement. The Lord tells me I know this pitcher and, as we will see shortly, I do. The statement, “He has lost big games before. He is not what he has made himself out to be,” is also significant. Yahweh tells me to be patient, don’t become distracted, and keep my focus on the pennant (the word for a major league baseball team winning its championship). In other words, we must stay focused, not allowing the enemy to distract us in this very strategic season. Keep your eyes on the goal, the prize, the finish line. My bat was in the “communion box.” This could speak of covenant - we will win through our covenant with Christ. It also speaks of our intimacy with Him - listening to and drawing near to Him. The scripture inscribed on the bat, Ephesians 1:17, is a verse that references “the spirit of wisdom and revelation” being given to the church. It will take this wisdom and revelation to win the spiritual war we are engaged in, and it will be found in the communion box. Incredible! I was then told to hit the ball at the throat of the pitcher and remove his voice (influence). My response can be summarized as meaning we have operated with too little aggression against our spiritual enemy. The Ekklesia must arise in this hour and become aggressive in our spiritual warfare. Satan and his forces of darkness are deadly serious. Their nature is to steal, kill and destroy. They are evil and we must relentlessly and aggressively resist them. I am then told if I “hit the mark” it will change the game. This is another meaning of the Hebrew word for intercession, paga, which we mentioned Tuesday. Still today in Israel, the word for “bullseye” is paga. Friends, if we pray as we are being instructed, we will win! This is our year of breakthrough for America! The pitcher began to mock me, which I answered by declaring that I was going to uncover or expose him. It was then that we saw his name, Zephon. (I have written posts about this spirit before and you can read them here and here.) This is incredibly significant. Zephon is one of the names of Baal, the ruling principality over America. This is also one of the spirits God exposed and conquered during the Exodus of Israel (see Exodus 14). God judged all of the gods of Egypt in the Exodus, but He saved this one for last, waiting until it appeared Israel was hopelessly trapped. At the Red Sea it looked like Egypt’s god, Zephon, “lord of the wind and seas” had Israel hopelessly trapped and would prevail over them. JUST LIKE AMERICA! But God sprang His trap, showed His great power and destroyed the armies of Egypt. This is what Holy Spirit meant in the dream when He told me I knew this pitcher, that he had lost games before, and that he was not what he made himself out to be (all-powerful). Zephon threw a wild pitch that went out of the stadium and hit our team bus. It was called a “strike!” We are being warned of strategies satan will use to “strike” us. Vehicles usually speak of ministries in dreams. This says to me the enemy will try and strike/attack ministries/leaders during this season. If he can distract leaders, he can hinder us from hearing in a way that causes us to win. Remember, the Lord, in the skybox, told me not to allow Zephon to distract me. It was at this time that we noticed the umpire, who had been helping our adversaries, was wearing a pharmaceutical jacket. This in no way is an indictment against the medical community or pharmacists. It is likely a play on words regarding the Greek word, pharmakeia, which means not only drugs, but sorcery or witchcraft. It is saying that the occult and the powers of darkness have been warring against us; we, however, with the archangel Michael’s help, are displacing them. I hit Zephon’s pitch, meaning that we, the Ekklesia, the prayer army, successfully met his attack. The ball struck him in the throat, removing his influence. We knew in the dream he would never pitch again. I believe this means he will never be able to rule our nation again. Pray with me: Father, You are without question asking the Ekklesia to step up to the plate in this hour, take our place of authority, and rule in the midst of our enemies (Psalm 110:2). This is our Esther season - we were born for this. Baal has ruled our nation for decades, stealing our inheritance, attempting to destroy our destiny, even demanding our children as blood sacrifices. You have now set him up for failure. We have indeed seen him before - Your word makes clear that You know how to take him out. We will strike his throat and remove his voice. He will be overcome and never rule our nation again. You have loaded the bases, now give us the win! We cover our leaders, ministries, and families with protective prayer. We declare that no witchcraft, no weapons, no strikes against them will prosper. None! We will prosper and be in health in this season (3 John 2). We will not only win, we will be more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). Our decree: We decree that the Ekklesia will win the World Seers Series!!!

By Greg Hood) As the dream started I could see that we were in a baseball stadium. I knew we were playing on our home field which in the dream was known as Royal Stadium. I also knew that the stadium was located in Washington D.C. All the seats in the stadium were filled with people. I knew the people in the seats were mostly Americans. A smaller portion of the people were from somewhere I had never heard of. The attendees were there to watch what we knew was the World Seers Series. Dutch and I coached one of the teams playing in the World Seer’s Series. (Our team was the Election prayer team, and more.) It was the final game in the series and we were ahead. It was our turn to bat. Dutch was the Head Coach of the team. He wrote out a new batting order, and hung it in our dugout for the team to see. The atmosphere in the dugout changed somewhat, with some thinking that the old batting order was better than the order Dutch had rewritten. We had home-field advantage. It was the bottom of the 8th inning and we were winning. The scoreboard displayed the score of 20 for the opposing team and 22 for our team. I could see clearly on the scoreboard our team name - Kingdom Ekklesia. I could not make out the name of the opposing team; their name was very blurry. The mood shifted in our dugout as our team made an effort to encourage one another. We knew we were in the last innings of this game and the game was tight. We didn’t take anything for granted now. We focused intensely. We were the underdog, it seemed, and there was great urgency to win this game for the nation. Dutch shouted, “Smith, lead us off!” Smith stepped from the dugout, but before making his way to home plate I said to him, “The ball needs to be hit straight down the first baseline with great force. Your assignment is to remove the hindrance that’s guarding first base.” As Smith walked toward home plate we could see he was wearing the number 5221 on his jersey. He stepped into the batter’s box and the pitcher threw him a curveball. He hit it so hard down the first baseline that the first baseman could not see it coming. It struck him on the side of his neck and incapacitated him. Anger became very evident in the opposing team because they now had no first baseman. The umpire at first base held Smith on first and would not allow him to advance. Ken Malone was coaching first base and begin to speak to Smith. He instructed him to watch the third base coach for he would give the sign he needed to steal second. Coaching third base was the Archangel, Gabriel. Dutch then said, “Jones, you are up. We need advancement. You know the pitch you are looking for!” Jones said to Dutch, “I feel a confidence that I have never felt before. The pitcher will not be able to resist throwing me my pitch.” Before Jones approached the batter’s box I said to him, “The guy in left field is expecting you to hit it high and long. Hit it high and short into left field. He won’t be able to adjust his position in time to catch you out.” Jones smiled with a big grin and said, “This is what I was built for. I was born to give ‘left field’ problems.” We could see the numbers on his jersey as he walked to the batter’s box. He was wearing the number 2388. Just before the pitcher released the ball, Gabriel gave Smith the sign to steal. Smith shot from first and stole second. The pitch landed just in front of home plate. The umpire called it a strike. Jones looked at Dutch for the correction. Dutch came out of the dugout very quickly and proceeded toward the umpire with fire in his eyes, and as he pointed his finger at the umpire he declared, “YOU WILL REVERSE THIS CALL AND GIVE IT BACK! YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THE STRIKE ZONE!” The umpire reversed the call immediately. I could tell in the dream that it weakened his authority on the field when Dutch addressed him this way. Before stepping back into the batter’s box, Jones looked at the pitcher and said, “You don’t have the nerve to throw me my pitch. You don’t have the ability to cause me to miss it. Throw that ‘cutter’ and I will hit it.” You could see the anger and pride on the pitcher’s face. He drew back and threw Jones his pitch. He threw it hard and fast. Jones hit it high and shallow into left field. The left fielder called it which stopped any of his other teammates from advancing toward the ball. The left fielder ran forward for the ball and as he did this he was watching the spin Jones had put on the ball. This confused him and caused him to trip, which caused him to miss the ball. When he fell, he dislocated both of his knees and could not stand back up. Jones easily made it to first base. Smith stayed at second. Dutch then called from the dugout, “Johnson, you are up!” Johnson took a bat in her hand and stepped from the dugout and I said to her, “They will position themselves at the wall because they know you can break the home run record with one swing of your bat. I feel you should bunt towards third.” She replied, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. I have noticed that he does not have the rapidness in his eyes that he thinks he has.” As Johnson stood in the batter’s box we once again could see the number on the jersey. Her number was 4851. The pitcher mocked her as she stood there waiting for the pitch. He threw a fastball high and just outside the corner of the plate missing the strike zone. Johnson stood still. She never even twitched. Seeing this, Gabriel looked at Smith and gave him the signal to steal third as soon as the pitcher started his next wind-up. The pitcher drew back his arm and as soon as he did, Smith left second base and it was almost as if he just appeared on third. This confused the pitcher as he caught Smith out of the corner of his eye stepping onto third base. He released the ball and it came to the plate again this time, low and just outside the strike zone. Dutch stepped outside our dugout and motioned to Johnson to come over to him. He leaned into her ear and said, “Let the next two pitches go through. No swinging at what he is throwing. This will give us the strategy we need to win this.” Some thought that Dutch was thinking that the pitcher was done and he did not have any more strikes left in his arm. Johnson stepped back to the batter’s box and did as Dutch had coached her to do. The next pitch came hard and fast. “STRIKE ONE” the umpire shouted and then laughed. The second pitch came as a change-up pitch and was very slow. “STRIKE TWO!” Johnson stepped out of the batter’s box and took a deep breath looking back at Coach Dutch. Dutch motioned Johnson back to where he was standing and said, “The count is 2 and 2. We are in the right place to bunt it down the third baseline.” She approached the plate again and positioned herself. The pitcher released a curveball. Johnson stepped into it and bunted down the third baseline. It caught the third baseman off guard. No one had ever bunted on this pitch before. He moved very slowly and retrieved the ball. He held it in fear that Smith would advance to home plate. Jones easily moved to second and Johnson took first. Now the bases were loaded. The coach and the catcher from the other team went out to the pitcher’s mound and began speaking with the pitcher. In the dream, we could tell there was much disagreement among them. It even seemed that the pitcher had authority over the coach of the other team. As we were watching this, a phone rang in our dugout. Dutch answered it. We could see him looking up and behind home plate into one of the skyboxes as he talked on the phone. He was speaking to our team owner. The owner of the team said to Dutch, “You are to pinch-hit. We have a wicket here to not only win the game but to win big.” He went on to say, “Dutch, you know this pitcher. He has lost big games before. He is not what he has made himself out to be. Be patient and don’t be distracted by what he will throw at you. He wants to get your eyes off the pennant.” Dutch hung up the phone and said, “Hood, hand me my bat. I’ve been instructed to pinch-hit.” I reached for Dutch’s bat and pulled it from a large wooden communion box that it was locked away in. As I removed it I could see clearly that the bat had inscribed on it Ephesians 1:17. I handed it to Dutch as he said to me, “What direction should I launch the ball?” I said to Dutch, “Straight for the throat of the pitcher! Remove his voice!” Dutch replied with a smile on his face, “You know, many will think this is a dirty and illegal move on our part. But what the heck, we won’t allow them to force us to play by their rules anymore. We play ball for the Royals.” As Dutch walked to the batter’s box I said, “If you hit the mark it will change this game.” The pitcher approached the batter’s box and as Dutch stepped into it, said to him, “I am here to take you and this weak team out once and for all. You have no hope of making it out of this batter’s box in your right mind. This is my season and you will not steal it from me!” Dutch stepped up to him, just an inch of his face, and spoke with a firm and bold voice, “I am here to uncover you. Now go back to your perch and throw the ball if you dare!” As he walked back to the pitcher’s mound we could see his name on the back of his jersey. (Remember thus far in the dream we did not know who he was or who this team was.) Written there was the name, “Zephon.” He released his first pitch and it was not aimed anywhere close to home plate. It went over the stadium wall behind home plate and hit a bus that was parked in the parking lot. It put a large dent in the back left side of that bus. An alarm sounded with a very distinct sound. We knew this was our team’s bus. The umpire shouted, “STRIKE ONE!” The coach came to the pitcher’s mound again and brought the pitcher, Zephon, another baseball glove. It was a left-hander’s glove and an old greasy-looking ball. The pitcher had been pitching right-handed the entire game up until now. He went into his wind-up and released the ball; it flew into the dugout. The umpire shouted, “STRIKE TWO!” The umpire spoke to the pitcher, “You only have one strike left.” It was at this time in the dream that we noticed the umpire was wearing a white doctor’s-type coat that had the insignia of a Pharmacist on it. Dutch turned to the umpire and said to him, "You are no longer allowed to call this game; we remove you, and Michael will take your place!” (I don’t know who Michael was in the dream but am thinking the angel.) Dutch then turned to the pitcher and said, “Throw your ball. This is your last pitch but not my last ball! I will deliver the third strike to you and your house!” Zephon threw the ball and Dutch hit it with a powerful swing. The ball went to its mark and struck the throat of the pitcher taking his voice and his strength. Zephon was removed from the game. We knew in the dream the game had changed and this pitcher would never pitch again. End of Dream

Today’s post is a little different - we have 2 POSTS for you today. The World Seers Series (Part 3) and The Great Advantage. As you know by now, we are on day 3 of review. We have received a strike from YouTube, meaning they are censoring us. They will not allow us to post any new content for 2 more days. Therefore, we are taking Monday-Thursday of this week to review older, strategic teachings which are needed before I share a new message on Friday, 9/30. I think you’ll enjoy these teachings. The World Seers Series (Part 3) On Monday (9/26/2022) we began discussing a dream given to my friend Greg Hood. This is a very enlightening and important dream, filled with insight and revelation. (Though we are looking at it in segments, I will once again post the entire dream at the end of today’s post. I know some of you would like to see the entire dream in one sitting.) REVIEW In the first part of the dream a baseball team, comprised of spiritual leaders in the church and representing the Kingdom of God, was playing in the World Seers Series. This was the last game of the series, the 8th inning, we were winning but the score was close, and we were very focused. Then, Holy Spirit initiated a change of strategy. We discussed all of this on Monday. Yesterday (9/27/2022) we looked at the need for intercession first and foremost. If the church prays, we will win the battle for the soul of America. Prayer incapacitated the enemy! We also saw that Holy Spirit is saying the Ekklesia has grown spiritually and is ready for this season. And we saw a likely reference to the courts/judicial system in this section. They were made to reverse bad calls/rulings. These summaries in no way do justice to this dream. If you have not done so, please take a look at Monday’s and Tuesday’s posts (parts 1 and 2). THE DREAM (continued) “Dutch then called from the dugout, ‘Johnson, you are up!’ [Again, not the person’s real name.] “Johnson took a bat in her hand and stepped from the dugout. I (Greg) said to her, ‘They will position themselves at the wall because they know you can break the home run record with one swing of your bat. I feel you should bunt towards third.’ “Johnson replied, ‘That’s exactly what I was thinking. I have noticed that he does not have the rapidness in his eyes that he thinks he has.’ As she stood in the batter’s box, once again I could see the jersey number. Her number was 4851. The pitcher mocked her as she stood there waiting for the pitch. He threw a fastball high and just outside the corner of the plate missing the strike zone. Johnson stood still; she never even twitched. “Seeing this, Gabriel looked at Smith and gave him the signal to steal third as soon as the pitcher started his next wind-up. The pitcher drew back his arm and as soon as he did, Smith left second base and it was almost as if he just appeared on third. This confused the pitcher as he saw Smith out of the corner of his eye stepping on third base. He released the ball and it came to the plate again, this time low and just outside the strike zone. “Dutch stepped outside our dugout and motioned Johnson to come over to him. He leaned toward her and said, ‘Let the next two pitches go through. No swinging at what he is throwing. This will give us the strategy we need to win this.’ Some thought Dutch was thinking the pitcher was done and had no more strikes left in his arm, but this wasn’t the reason. “Johnson stepped back to the batter’s box and did as Dutch had coached her to do. The next pitch came hard and fast. ‘STRIKE ONE’ the umpire shouted, and then laughed. The second pitch came as a change-up pitch, very slow. ‘STRIKE TWO!’ “Johnson stepped out of the batter’s box and took a deep breath looking back at Coach Dutch. He motioned her back to where he was standing and said, ‘The count is 2 and 2. We are in the right place to bunt it down the third baseline.’ “She approached the plate again and positioned herself. The pitcher released a curveball. Johnson bunted down the third baseline, which caught the third baseman off guard. No one had ever bunted on this pitch before. He moved very slowly and retrieved the ball, but held it in fear that Smith would advance to home plate. Jones easily moved to second and Johnson took first. Now the bases were loaded. “The coach and the catcher from the other team went out to the pitcher’s mound and began speaking with the pitcher. In the dream, we could tell there was much disagreement among them. It even seemed that the pitcher had authority over the coach of the other team. MY THOUGHTS Johnson, in real life, is a strong prophetic voice to the body of Christ. She also walks in other anointings but this is what she is most known for. Her jersey number in the dream, as with all the player’s numbers, is very significant. It’s the number of a Greek word meaning “to bring together;” or “to bear together (as in a load or weight).” Because of the concept of 2 or more working together, it is also the word for holding or gaining an advantage. Perhaps its most significant use is in John 16:7, where Jesus said, “But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” (NASV) Through this God is saying we must get Holy Spirit in the game. He will be our advantage! Listen to Him. Release His power. Follow His strategy. Notice the dream said of this person, filled with and empowered by Holy Spirit, “…you can break the home run record with one swing of your bat.” This indicates power, the power of Holy Spirit! And yet! The strategy was not to try for a home run, but to bunt. I feel this is the Father saying it is our weakness that makes us strong, for His strength is perfected or made complete in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Though satan believes he has won the war for the soul of America - notice that he was mocking us - God has other plans. And if we humble ourselves at this time, acknowledging our weakness but moving in His strength, we’ll win. After allowing the opposing pitcher to throw two pitches that were outside the strike zone, I instructed her to not swing at the next two pitches, regardless of whether they were in the strike zone or not. She did as I instructed and they were both called strikes. Now the count was 2 balls and 2 strikes. This was the strategy chosen by Holy Spirit in the dream in order to catch the opposing team by surprise. Typically, no batter bunts with two strikes against them. The reason is that, unlike swinging at a pitch, if a batter bunts at it with two strikes against them and fouls the ball, they are out. When swinging at pitches with two strikes against them, a batter can hit any number of foul balls and still not be out. In other words, in the dream God is telling us Holy Spirit has a plan to take satan by surprise. This surprise loaded the bases. God always outsmarts His enemies…always. Dissension then began in satan‘s camp. The catcher, coach, and pitcher began arguing. This is telling us God is going to bring confusion and disagreement to those opposing Him. They will begin to fight amongst themselves. And in tomorrow’s post, we will see how God intends to win this war for America. Pray with me: Father, thank You for Your amazing gift, the Holy Spirit. He is our advantage. Help us get Him in the game, following Him carefully and precisely in this hour. We ask that His voice be amplified. May His directions be clear to us. And may we have ears to hear. Holy Spirit, we have sung it and now we say it to You, “You are welcome in our places of worship, prayer, and activities. You are in charge!” We thank You, Father, for the plans You have in place. You already know how You are going to outwit the enemy. You will cause him to play into Your hands, and his plans for America and the earth will fail. Show us how to cooperate with this. We thank You for these things and ask them in Christ’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the wisdom of God always supersedes the wisdom of satan and his kingdom.

The World Seers Series Part 3 and The Great Advantage. As you know by now, we are on day 3 of review. We have received a strike from YouTube, meaning they are censoring us. They will not allow us to post any new content for 2 more days. Therefore, we are taking Monday-Thursday of this week to review older, strategic teachings which are needed before I share a new message on Friday, 9/30. This particular teaching came right after SCOTUS’s rule on Roe V Wade was handed down. In the dream, the 2nd quarter was about the end of abortion. I think you’ll enjoy these teachings. The Great Advantage I want to mention a dream today that I believe, in part, was about the Supreme Court overturning Roe. I addressed the dream, given to Greg Hood, with a fair amount of detail a few months back, so I will not revisit all of it. (I have included the entire dream at the end of the post.) In summary, the Ekklesia and kingdom of darkness were contending for America; this was pictured by a baseball game. The event was called the World Seers Series. Four batters on team Ekklesia faced the opposing pitcher. I and other prophetic voices felt that our four batters represented assignments and strategies in the four quarters of 2022. Without restating the details and complete interpretation, we felt the first quarter represented a concerted prayer effort to remove the hold of a religious spirit over America. The spirit of religion seeks to promote form without power, erode intimacy with God, remove Holy Spirit’s influence, and more (see 2 Timothy 3:5; Revelation 2:4, 3:1). We were given very specific assignments through which to do this, culminating with a private prayer gathering in Washington D.C., on 2/22. Though the fruit of this will take time to manifest, we are beginning to see signs of such, and are confident our assignment was accomplished. Again, without giving details, it seemed clear to us that the second quarter (April-June) was about abortion and the Supreme Court reversing Roe. Obviously, this occurred, with a week left in the quarter. Here is the portion of the dream that we feel applies to the upcoming third quarter of this year: “Dutch then called from the dugout, ‘Hamon you are up!’ “Jane Hamon grabbed a bat and stepped from the dugout. Dutch said to her, ‘They will position themselves at the wall because they know you can break the home run record with one swing of your bat. I feel you should bunt towards third.’ “She replied, ‘That's exactly what I was thinking. I have noticed that the third baseman does not have the rapidness in his eyes that he thinks he has.’ As Jane stood in the batter’s box we could see the number on her jersey: 4851. The pitcher mocked her as she waited for the pitch. He threw a fastball, high and just outside the corner of the plate, missing the strike zone. Jane stood still; she never even twitched. “Seeing this, the angel, Gabriel, our third base coach, looked at the runner on second base and gave him the signal to steal third as soon as the pitcher started his next wind-up. The pitcher drew back his arm and as soon as he did the runner left second base; he was so fast, it was almost as if he supernaturally appeared on third base. This confused the pitcher as he saw our runner out of the corner of his eye stepping on third base. He pitched the ball and it came to the plate. It was low and just outside the strike zone. “At this point, Dutch stepped outside our dugout and motioned to Jane to come over to him. He leaned in to her and said, ‘Let the next two pitches go through. No swinging at what he is throwing. This will give us the strategy we need to win this.’ Some thought Dutch was thinking the pitcher was tired and wouldn’t be able to throw any more strikes, that he would walk her. But this wasn’t the case. “Jane stepped back into the batter’s box and did as Dutch had coached her to do. The next pitch came hard and fast. ‘STRIKE ONE’ the umpire shouted, then laughed. The next pitch came as a change-up, very slowly. ‘STRIKE TWO!’ “Jane stepped out of the batter’s box and took a deep breath looking back at Dutch. He motioned Jane back to where he was standing and said, ‘The count is 2 and 2. We are at the right point to bunt down the third baseline.’ “Jane approached the plate again and positioned herself. The pitcher released a curve ball. She bunted it down the third baseline, which caught the third baseman off guard. (Batters don’t normally bunt with 2 strikes; if they bunt a foul ball, they’re out.) He moved very slowly and retrieved the ball, but he didn’t throw it to first base out of fear that our runner on third would advance to home plate. Consequently, our runner on first easily moved to second and Jane ran to first. Now the bases were loaded.” (End of this part of the dream.) There is more to the dream, but I believe this portion is about the third quarter of the year. Our third batter, Jane Hamon, could have tried for a home run. She was obviously capable, and to have successfully done so would have broken the home run record. Her actions speak of humility. I believe Holy Spirit is saying this is a time for the Ekklesia to walk in humility. This is not a time to gloat over the victory we just achieved. It isn’t a time to mock and belittle those who disagree with us. If we do so, we will alienate those we want to reach. Also, pride will cause us to fail. Take the humble approach. Jane was unmoved by the enemy’s mocking and the pitches he was throwing. “No swinging at what he is throwing,” she was told. “Jane stood still; she never even twitched.” This is a warning to not be distracted by what satan does during this season. We must listen to Holy Spirit’s strategies, not be moved by what the powers of darkness say or do. The dream shows that God has a plan to surprise the enemy, the powers of darkness, in this season. They were expecting Jane to attempt a home run but she was instructed not to do so. She was to bunt, and do so at a time when they would never have expected it. God has surprises coming. Jane is a prophet. I believe the dream shows us that God is going to give very important strategies to prophetic leaders in this season. We must listen closely to them. I also believe it is a caution to prophets, and we who are prophetic, to walk in the humility demonstrated by Jane. We must not sensationalize, try to hit “home runs” with our revelation, prophetic words, etc. We must listen carefully to Holy Spirit and only say what He gives us to say. And lastly, the number Jane wore on her jersey is the number of the Greek word (in Strongs concordance) meaning, “to bring together, causing an advantage.” This is the word Jesus used in John 16:7 when He said it was to our “advantage” that He went back to Heaven. This was because He would send Holy Spirit to us. In his fleshly body, Jesus could only be in one place at a time. When Holy Spirit came, He would be IN us, not just with us, and could be in/with all of us, all the time. I believe this is telling us Holy Spirit is “coming,” being “sent” to us - that He is about to be poured out in powerful and unexpected ways over the summer months. He, and He alone, is our advantage. Only His strategies, power and presence will give us victory. We must humble ourselves and ask for Him to move in exceptional ways - starting now. This “coming” was made possible by the Supreme Court’s ruling. Holy Spirit is now about to “load the bases,” positioning us to win the game. America shall be saved! The shaking must and will continue. But we must not be alarmed or distracted by this. It is what we have asked for - the exposing and removing of evil in our land. Keep appealing to Heaven, church. It still works! Pray with me: Father, we thank You once again for Your deliverance from the evil decree of Roe. We believe that in Your mercy You are cleansing us from the national, corporate defilement it brought upon us. Wash us in the blood of Jesus. May it flow from Your mercy seat to the heart of our nation. We thank You also for delivering us from the effects of a religious spirit: having a form of godliness without power, a reputation that we’re alive when, in reality, spiritual death controls us. Forgive us for rejecting Holy Spirit. We now turn ourselves to the next [third] quarter of this year. As we do, we humble ourselves before You. No victory we gain is from our own strength. You are the strength of our lives. You are the greater One. Holy Spirit, we ask You to come to us in extraordinary ways. Come in power, revelation, salvation, and deliverance. You are our advantage; You make the difference. May the next three months mark a distinct shift in Your activity in and across this nation. Shake what must be shaken; strengthen that which remains. Refresh the leadership of Your Ekklesia, especially those who lead us prophetically. We ask for them to be fine-tuned, more so than ever before. We ask that they be convicted by You to weigh their words very carefully, to listen until they are confident they are releasing only Your words. And we ask that all of us are reminded to be alert. Enable us to recognize the attacks and strategies of the enemy meant to distract us. We declare now that by Your grace and strength we will not be distracted in this season. We pray all of these things in Christ’s name, Father. Amen. Our decree: We declare that Holy Spirit is our great advantage - He will not fail!

I knew we were playing on our home field which in the dream was known as Royal Stadium. I also knew that the stadium was located in Washington D.C. All the seats in the stadium were filled with people. I knew the people in the seats were mostly Americans. A smaller portion of the people were from somewhere I had never heard of. The attendees were there to watch what we knew was the World Seers Series. Dutch and I coached one of the teams playing in the World Seer’s Series. (Our team was the Election prayer team, and more.) It was the final game in the series and we were ahead. It was our turn to bat. Dutch was the Head Coach of the team. He wrote out a new batting order, and hung it in our dugout for the team to see. The atmosphere in the dugout changed somewhat, with some thinking that the old batting order was better than the order Dutch had rewritten. We had a home-field advantage. It was the bottom of the 8th inning and we were winning. The scoreboard displayed the score of 20 for the opposing team and 22 for our team. I could see clearly on the scoreboard our team name - Kingdom Ekklesia. I could not make out the name of the opposing team; their name was very blurry. The mood shifted in our dugout as our team made an effort to encourage one another. We knew we were in the last innings of this game and the game was tight. We didn’t take anything for granted now. We focused intensely. We were the underdog, it seemed, and there was great urgency to win this game for the nation. Dutch shouted, “Smith, lead us off!” Smith stepped from the dugout, but before making his way to home plate I said to him, “The ball needs to be hit straight down the first baseline with great force. Your assignment is to remove the hindrance that’s guarding first base.” As Smith walked toward home plate we could see he was wearing the number 5221 on his jersey. He stepped into the batter’s box and the pitcher threw him a curveball. He hit it so hard down the first baseline that the first baseman could not see it coming. It struck him on the side of his neck and incapacitated him. Anger became very evident in the opposing team because they now had no first baseman. The umpire at first base held Smith on first and would not allow him to advance. Ken Malone was coaching first base and begin to speak to Smith. He instructed him to watch the third base coach for he would give the sign he needed to steal second. Coaching third base was the Archangel, Gabriel. Dutch then said, “Jones, you are up. We need advancement. You know the pitch you are looking for!” Jones said to Dutch, “I feel a confidence that I have never felt before. The pitcher will not be able to resist throwing me my pitch.” Before Jones approached the batter’s box I said to him, “The guy in left field is expecting you to hit it high and long. Hit it high and short into left field. He won’t be able to adjust his position in time to catch you out.” Jones smiled with a big grin and said, “This is what I was built for. I was born to give ‘left field’ problems.” We could see the numbers on his jersey as he walked to the batter’s box. He was wearing the number 2388. Just before the pitcher released the ball, Gabriel gave Smith the sign to steal. Smith shot from first and stole second. The pitch landed just in front of home plate. The umpire called it a strike. Jones looked at Dutch for the correction. Dutch came out of the dugout very quickly and proceeded toward the umpire with fire in his eyes, and as he pointed his finger at the umpire he declared, “YOU WILL REVERSE THIS CALL AND GIVE IT BACK! YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THE STRIKE ZONE!” The umpire reversed the call immediately. I could tell in the dream that it weakened his authority on the field when Dutch addressed him this way. Before stepping back into the batter’s box, Jones looked at the pitcher and said, “You don’t have the nerve to throw me my pitch. You don’t have the ability to cause me to miss it. Throw that ‘cutter’ and I will hit it.” You could see the anger and pride on the pitcher’s face. He drew back and threw Jones his pitch. He threw it hard and fast. Jones hit it high and shallow into left field. The left fielder called it which stopped any of his other teammates from advancing toward the ball. The left fielder ran forward for the ball and as he did this he was watching the spin Jones had put on the ball. This confused him and caused him to trip, which caused him to miss the ball. When he fell, he dislocated both of his knees and could not stand back up. Jones easily made it to first base. Smith stayed at second. Dutch then called from the dugout, “Johnson, you are up!” (When I first shared this dream, I had not yet received permission to use Jane Hamon’s name, so I used the fictitious name of Johnson.) Johnson took a bat in her hand and stepped from the dugout and I said to her, “They will position themselves at the wall because they know you can break the home run record with one swing of your bat. I feel you should bunt towards third.” She replied, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. I have noticed that he does not have the rapidness in his eyes that he thinks he has.” As Johnson stood in the batter’s box we once again could see the number on the jersey. Her number was 4851. The pitcher mocked her as she stood there waiting for the pitch. He threw a fastball high and just outside the corner of the plate missing the strike zone. Johnson stood still. She never even twitched. Seeing this, Gabriel looked at Smith and gave him the signal to steal third as soon as the pitcher started his next wind-up. The pitcher drew back his arm and as soon as he did, Smith left second base and it was almost as if he just appeared on third. This confused the pitcher as he caught Smith out of the corner of his eye stepping onto third base. He released the ball and it came to the plate again this time, low and just outside the strike zone. Dutch stepped outside our dugout and motioned to Johnson to come over to him. He leaned into her ear and said, “Let the next two pitches go through. No swinging at what he is throwing. This will give us the strategy we need to win this.” Some thought that Dutch was thinking that the pitcher was done and he did not have any more strikes left in his arm. Johnson stepped back to the batter’s box and did as Dutch had coached her to do. The next pitch came hard and fast. “STRIKE ONE” the umpire shouted and then laughed. The second pitch came as a change-up pitch and was very slow. “STRIKE TWO!” Johnson stepped out of the batter’s box and took a deep breath looking back at Coach Dutch. Dutch motioned Johnson back to where he was standing and said, “The count is 2 and 2. We are in the right place to bunt it down the third baseline.” She approached the plate again and positioned herself. The pitcher released a curveball. Johnson stepped into it and bunted down the third baseline. It caught the third baseman off guard. No one had ever bunted on this pitch before. He moved very slowly and retrieved the ball. He held it in fear that Smith would advance to home plate. Jones easily moved to second and Johnson took first. Now the bases were loaded. The coach and the catcher from the other team went out to the pitcher’s mound and began speaking with the pitcher. In the dream, we could tell there was much disagreement among them. It even seemed that the pitcher had authority over the coach of the other team. As we were watching this, a phone rang in our dugout. Dutch answered it. We could see him looking up and behind home plate into one of the skyboxes as he talked on the phone. He was speaking to our team owner. The owner of the team said to Dutch, “You are to pinch-hit. We have a wicket here to not only win the game but to win big.” He went on to say, “Dutch, you know this pitcher. He has lost big games before. He is not what he has made himself out to be. Be patient and don’t be distracted by what he will throw at you. He wants to get your eyes off the pennant.” Dutch hung up the phone and said, “Hood, hand me my bat. I’ve been instructed to pinch-hit.” I reached for Dutch’s bat and pulled it from a large wooden communion box that it was locked away in. As I removed it I could see clearly that the bat had inscribed on it Ephesians 1:17. I handed it to Dutch as he said to me, “What direction should I launch the ball?” I said to Dutch, “Straight for the throat of the pitcher! Remove his voice!” Dutch replied with a smile on his face, “You know, many will think this is a dirty and illegal move on our part. But what the heck, we won’t allow them to force us to play by their rules anymore. We play ball for the Royals.” As Dutch walked to the batter’s box I said, “If you hit the mark it will change this game.” The pitcher approached the batter’s box and as Dutch stepped into it, said to him, “I am here to take you and this weak team out once and for all. You have no hope of making it out of this batter’s box in your right mind. This is my season and you will not steal it from me!” Dutch stepped up to him, just an inch of his face, and spoke with a firm and bold voice, “I am here to uncover you. Now go back to your perch and throw the ball if you dare!” As he walked back to the pitcher’s mound we could see his name on the back of his jersey. (Remember thus far in the dream we did not know who he was or who this team was.) Written there was the name, “Zephon.” He released his first pitch and it was not aimed anywhere close to home plate. It went over the stadium wall behind home plate and hit a bus that was parked in the parking lot. It put a large dent in the back left side of that bus. An alarm sounded with a very distinct sound. We knew this was our team’s bus. The umpire shouted, “STRIKE ONE!” The coach came to the pitcher’s mound again and brought the pitcher, Zephon, another baseball glove. It was a left-hander’s glove and an old greasy-looking ball. The pitcher had been pitching right-handed the entire game up until now. He went into his wind-up and released the ball; it flew into the dugout. The umpire shouted, “STRIKE TWO!” The umpire spoke to the pitcher, “You only have one strike left.” It was at this time in the dream that we noticed the umpire was wearing a white doctor’s-type coat that had the insignia of a Pharmacist on it. Dutch turned to the umpire and said to him, "You are no longer allowed to call this game; we remove you, and Michael will take your place!” (I don’t know who Michael was in the dream but am thinking the angel.) Dutch then turned to the pitcher and said, “Throw your ball. This is your last pitch but not my last ball! I will deliver the third strike to you and your house!” Zephon threw the ball and Dutch hit it with a powerful swing. The ball went to its mark and struck the throat of the pitcher taking his voice and his strength. Zephon was removed from the game. We knew in the dream the game had changed and this pitcher would never pitch again. End of Dream
