April 1, 2025 When approaching graduation from Christ For The Nations Bible Institute, Ceci and I were confident we would end up on “the mission field,” as we called foreign missions back then. America had so many churches and laborers; we wanted to go where the need was more significant. Opportunities in four nations were on our radar; our bags were practically packed. Then, something strange occurred. While praying one day, Holy Spirit spoke to me, “The Bible College is going to offer you a position, and you’re to accept it.” “Where did that come from?”  I thought. This was nowhere on our radar! Sure enough, within days, the offer came, and we said yes. We thought we would serve there for a short time, then go to another nation. We continued to pray for other nations faithfully and fervently, as well as sow financially all that we possibly could into missions.  Over the next few years, we served in a couple of other ministries, all the while holding onto the dream and wondering why the Lord would not release us to move somewhere overseas. Finally, Holy Spirit broke through our preconceived notions of being foreign “missionaries.” “America is your mission field,” He said, “I need you here. And by serving Me here, you will serve Me abroad.” My first thought was, That can’t be God speaking. America has more preaching and teaching than anywhere in the world. I want to go where the need is greatest. Little did I know… By the late 80s, I could see where America was heading, including the American church. My heart had become greatly concerned, at times overwhelmed with grief (and yes, sometimes anger). I saw that the great Charismatic and Jesus People movements, while bringing many to Christ in America, was not transforming the culture and society as a whole. An eschatological mindset that Jesus was coming soon, and that we could, therefore, ignore the cultural institutions and remain focused only on seeing people saved was dominant. Other theological beliefs also contributed to the church not focusing on discipling the nation, as Jesus had commissioned us (Matthew 28:18-20). The result? After one of history’s greatest revivals, America was actually losing ground spiritually, becoming further from God and His ways.  As I mentioned, I saw this coming in the 80s and watched it pick up steam in the 90s as the church–God’s instrument of change–failed to wake up and take action. Many churches were growing; mega-churches were springing up, bringing a false sense of success. Although most of the growth was only transfer growth, not conversions, many leaders would not accept the reality that we were losing ground. Also, America’s economy was doing well, and much of the deterioration taking place in the nation was still hidden underground. The foundations were crumbling, however, and as this devolution progressed, it eventually became clear that without supernatural intervention, America would not recover.  In ‘99 and 2000, I had had two dramatic visitations from the Lord, in which He brought to fullness a 20-year process of mantling me for my calling to America. In the second of these impartations, as I wept with Him for three and a half hours over America’s lost condition, the Lord clearly said to me, “For what I am going to do among the nations in this season of history, for the harvest I am going to reap in the earth, I must have America.” (1) I share this today to remind us all that the restoration God is doing at this time in America is not just for America. I don’t claim to speak for President Trump or other Americans, but for myself – and I believe where God is concerned – “America first” means: fix and heal America first, so that she is strong and prosperous enough to be the instrument God needs at this time in history. For our nation in general, this means being used by God for various things. For the church, however, it will mean accomplishing Mark 16:15-20 and Matthew 28:18-20: saving people and discipling nations for Christ.   Just as with Abraham, America’s great blessings are not just for us. God told Abraham that the blessings coming to him, his descendants, and his nation were also so He could bless the world through them. This is true of America, as well: we are blessed to bless. I want revival and reformation in America so that we can be used to further revival and reformation around the world. My calling to America is a calling to the nations. Join me, for this noblest of callings is to all of us. With this in mind, I leave you with the following encouragement and call to prayer.   Revival In the Middle East   CBN News states: “Amid talk of a broader war in the Middle East, there is also news that a Jesus Revolution may be underway. An unprecedented number of Muslims are choosing to follow Christ, especially in Iran, as people search for a better life. “Iranians are growing tired of the ayatollahs and a nation led by the empty promises of their Islamic theocracy. An anonymous internal poll found that 80% now prefer a democratic government, and many are leaving Islam. “According to Todd Nettleton, Vice President of Messaging at VOM [Voice of the Martyrs], the faith option many are choosing is Jesus with at least a million Muslims reportedly leaving Islam for Christianity. So, how is the regime reacting to this, with a reported 50,000 of the country’s 75,000 mosques now closed? “‘This is not something that is making the regime happy. And, really, in many ways, they are seeking to solidify their power and to crush any kind of dissent,’ Nettleton said. ‘We have heard multiple stories this year of a Bible study, a home church being raided. Everyone there is photographed, everyone there is questioned. But then the leader of the meeting is held on to. They are arrested, they are detained, they’re put in prison.’” (2) Though great persecution is taking place in other parts of the world, it is also true that the greatest harvest of souls in history has begun. Pray for this to continue and increase exponentially. Pray for our brothers and sisters around the world who suffer because of their faith in Christ.  And yes, pray for America – He needs us.  Pray with me: Father, Holy Spirit is on a great mission, which will not fail, to make the kingdoms of this world “the Kingdom of our Lord of his Christ ” (Revelation 11:15). Our part in this glorious and unfailing cause is to win people to Christ through the preaching of the gospel, and discipling nations to the principles of the Kingdom. In Your heart, the nations are intertwined, flowing physically  from one man, Adam, and spiritually  from one man, Jesus Christ. What we do to save and transform America is also to save and transform the nations. Ultimately, Your glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. We pray for the revival that has begun in the Middle East to now grow and intensify. Save a billion Muslims and Jews in this hour. And as many of our brothers and sisters there suffer for Your name’s sake, we honor and pray for them. They are true heroes of the faith. Give them strength, encouragement, and perseverance; may their faith not fail them in times of testing. Though the pain and loss they experience is great, please remind them of the great reward they will receive – that their suffering is not in vain. Comfort them through Holy Spirit’s great love.  And we pray for the votes taking place today in Wisconsin. Please grant us favor, moving the hearts of conservatives to get out and vote. We also ask that You move on the hearts and minds of undecided voters to vote for righteousness. Awaken them to the damage caused by Leftist and Marxist ideologies; help them to see clearly the fruit of these destructive mindsets.  Please continue to move among the young people in America. Send revival. Send fire. Send awakening. Save America. Save the nations. Glorify Jesus! We pray for all of this in His mighty name. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that the glory of the Lord will cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). Click on the link below to watch the full video.

March 28, 2025 “Finally, dear brothers and sisters, pray for us that the Lord’s message will continue to spread rapidly and its glory be recognized everywhere, just as it was with you. And pray that God will rescue us from wicked and evil people, for not everyone believes the message.” ‭‭(2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭TPT‬‬) Passages such as these make clear the incredible importance of prayer, and also that God’s will is not automatic or guaranteed simply because of His sovereignty. As I stated in yesterday’s post,  we involve Holy Spirit through our prayers. In these verses, Paul says that prayer is needed in order for the Lord’s message to spread rapidly and its glory be recognized. The success of the gospel is linked to our prayers. Incredible. He also instructed us in this passage to pray for rescue from “wicked and evil” people. The word “wicked” comes from the Greek word atopos . (1)  The note in The Passion Translation says this Greek word can also be translated as “weird,” “irrational,” “absurd,” and “disgusting.”  “Evil” in the above verses is translated from poneros (2) . Thayer’s Lexicon says this word can refer to “a bad condition in a physical sense, such as being diseased or blind, and in an ethical sense: evil, wicked, bad.” In what is often referred to as The Lord’s Prayer, the word is used to reference satan as the “evil one” (Matthew 6:13).  Using these definitions, we are told to pray for rescue from “wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil” people. It is pretty easy to apply some of these terms to what goes on in our government today. Insisting that toddlers have enough understanding to want to change their gender and allowing confused children to be castrated is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil. Sending drag queens to indoctrinate innocent kindergartners is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil. Allowing criminals to go free and walk our streets to steal, rape, and murder is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting and evil. Encouraging Americans to harm those they disagree with and destroy other people’s property is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil. Many people coming into our nation illegally simply want a better life; some, however, are bad people and come for other reasons. To willfully allow them – murderers, rapists, gang members, drug dealers, and terrorists – to pour into our nation is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting and evil. The good news is that we are told prayer can rescue us from the efforts of these individuals. Prayer can also deliver some of them. Let’s persevere in our intercession for a great revival, which will not only save people’s hearts, but deliver depraved minds. Let’s pray for the Lord’s message to continue to spread rapidly and its glory to be recognized. Our prayers matter – appealing to heaven still works. And here is one more issue we must pray about. The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday, April 1, is of paramount importance for not only Wisconsin, but the entire nation. It will significantly influence the state’s judicial landscape and, by extension, its governance. Liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority; one of them is retiring, creating an opportunity to flip the court. The outcome will shape decisions on critical issues such as election integrity, regulatory policies, and individual rights. For conservatives, a majority on the court would create an opportunity to uphold constitutional principles and promote a limited government approach. The judiciary plays a crucial role in interpreting laws and ensuring that legislative actions align with the Constitution. A conservative majority could counteract judicial activism, ensuring that judges adhere to the original intent of the law rather than imposing personal ideologies. Also, the court’s decisions on economic and regulatory issues directly impact Wisconsin’s business climate. A conservative majority is likely to favor policies that promote economic growth, reduce regulatory burdens, and support the rights of businesses and property owners. This could lead to a more favorable environment for job creation and innovation. Additionally, election integrity is a pressing concern for many conservatives. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has the authority to adjudicate disputes regarding election laws, including voter ID requirements and mail-in voting regulations in their state. A conservative court could reinforce measures aimed at securing fair elections, thereby restoring public confidence in the electoral process. AP News reported that “On Monday night [March 24], Democratic U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told supporters that electing Crawford [the liberal judge] was important so she and other liberal justices can order a redraw of congressional boundary lines…‘As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that and have fair lines,’ Jeffries said in a live discussion on the social media platform X. ‘The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court.’” (3) “Fair” and “enlightened” are two words Jeffries and the Left define very differently than Mr. Webster. This election is seen by them as a way to gerrymander the House districts and retake the U.S. House of Representatives. This would halt the progress of Trump and conservatives in Congress as we restore our nation to truth, our original foundations, and frankly, sanity. The stakes are high. The election is seen as so important that as of Tuesday [March 25], $81 million has been spent on this one race, most of it coming from outside Wisconsin. If you live in Wisconsin, please vote. All of us can pray. Pray with me: Father, we are moved by the thought of being Your co-laborers. What a staggering truth! You have made us partners in Your great cause of releasing Christ’s redemption throughout the earth. Whether it be writing a letter, making a phone call, or offering up prayers, we are honored to work together with You. Please breathe upon this election in Wisconsin, and give us a more biblically based Supreme Court there. We ask You to thwart the efforts of those who work against Your principles and ways.  We continue to pray for those in our national government whom You are using to bring reformation. Give President Trump, his Cabinet, and legislators great wisdom as they develop and implement strategies. Continue to expose the rampant theft and fraud that has taken place. Open the file cabinets and expose the hidden files, as You have said You would do. Continue to awaken the American people – bring this nation to its senses! And lastly, You told me years ago that the third great awakening in America would begin with the young people. This has now begun – You are pouring out Your Spirit on campuses throughout the nation. We ask that this not only continue but intensify, and that no effort from satan to defile it would succeed. Guard it jealously. Throw more oil on it, causing it to burn with holy fire and great intensity. Bless the endeavors of those You are using; give them provision, anointing, and great success. All of these things we ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen. Our decree: We decree that the good work God has begun in our nation will continue and not be thwarted.

Introduction You may have noticed, along with me, that changes in our nation (and throughout the earth) are occurring much more quickly these days. Holy Spirit gave my brother Tim a word regarding this. We have titled it: It’s Time For The Blitz The movie “Braveheart,” depicts the story of William Wallace. There is a scene in which he rides before Scottish troops, challenging them with the following statement, “I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of Tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men, and free men you are.  What will you do without freedom? Will you fight? Aye. Fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live…at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance–just one chance–to come back here and tell your enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!” (1) We are advancing into a supernatural era of the church, even as we navigate a fierce season of spiritual war. This will be a time of notable miracles, signs, wonders and great harvest, but also a season in which we’ll have to fight spiritually for our rightful inheritance as the heirs of Christ. Since President Trump’s election, some have been saying “There’s a new sheriff in town.” I believe it’s time to declare something even greater, “There’s a new church in town.” Ekklesias have been engaged and are showing boldness, strength, and unwavering faith. We have been prepared and empowered by the Holy Spirit to win great battles. Those who know their God will stand strong in Him and fight back against hell’s evil agenda.  I was recently reminded by Holy Spirit of a word He spoke to me three years ago: “ It’s time for the blitz push of My Kingdom Ekklesia.” The definition of “blitz” is a sudden, energetic and concerted effort to accomplish a specific purpose; a push to complete a cause; an intense, sudden military attack. A blitz is intended to disorient an enemy. (2) “Blitzkrieg” is a German term referring to an intense warfare campaign designed to bring about swift victories. It is also a method of warfare known as “lightning war.” A blitzkrieg is a surprise attack using a rapid movement of overwhelming force to break through an opponent’s line of defense. It is a sudden strike designed to disorient and dislocate enemy defenders, unbalancing them to provide an opening for quick victories. It can involve multiple battlefronts. (3) Holy Spirit is stirring the Ekklesia to carry out God’s battle plans, changing things on earth and setting captives free. There are spiritual battles on the horizon that we must fight and win. Holy Spirit has trained, equipped and prepared us for the greatest advance of His Kingdom. Holy Spirit gave me the following word regarding this: “ I will move through My Ekklesia hubs and My triumphant remnant in sudden, energetic, concerted efforts to accomplish My plans for the season. I will lead My remnant warriors, implementing lightning warfare. I will lead you to strike like lightning. My Kingdom will now move rapidly with overwhelming force. Rapid strikes will break through enemy defenses, disorienting and dislocating them. Swift victories are on the calendar. I will call you to sudden advances, throwing hell’s kingdom completely out of balance, interrupting their plans and defeating them quickly. My Ekklesias will invade enemy positions suddenly, causing disruptions and scatterings to systems of evil. Multiple surprise moves will be implemented in regions, territories, and nations as My Ekklesia emboldens itself. Hell will not see this coming because their arrogance has blinded them. Their human partners will also not see it coming, as their arrogance, self-righteousness, pride and filth justification has blinded them also.  “Swift, strategic maneuvers are being activated through My Ekklesias to scatter lewd pollutions of My identity for male and female. The demon prince of perversion promoting doctrines of transgender will be struck suddenly, repeatedly, and boldly by My powerful advancing Kingdom and My angel armies. Truth will be their shield and buckler. Just as surely as Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed for perverting My identity for men and women, so will the demon doctrines of blind leaders of the blind be defeated. Original intent, truth and identity order will be proclaimed.  “Rapid strikes and sudden, energetic, coordinated efforts will now push for Me and My ways. Boardrooms, corporate leaders, and corporate identities will change. Government leaders will change or be changed. Sudden strikes, led by unique leaders I’ve ordained, are now advancing into positions of great authority. My Ekklesia’s voice is rising to sound out My Words. Angels are activating to tear down this stronghold of evil that is polluting a young generation. My enemies, the enemies of My heirs, will become unbalanced. They will stagger in the blitzkrieg of truth and righteousness that is now accelerating. Swift victories and turnarounds will be seen.  “For I have a great harvest among those who have been misled and confused by minds occupied by demons. My truth will free them. My truth will reorder real identity, meaning, and purpose; it will rise in them, for My love is set upon them. I will free multitudes from the lie. I have sons and daughters trapped in the confusion and I will redeem them. I have prodigal sons and daughters to free. I have champions whose identity I will restore. I am moving to change battlefronts; activating overwhelming force to accomplish this purpose. I will disorient the confusers. I will now dislocate the positioning of those spreading perversion. Their influence will fade and their voices will fester from the evil infections they created.  “I have targeted kingpin positions of great authority who, as Pharaoh of old, have hardened their hearts against Me. My Ekklesia, assisted by My angel armies, will target them in prayer to remove their influence, and to release leaders that will not resist My ways. For the blitz push of My Ekklesia includes concerted, coordinated, fast-moving efforts to remove the influence of evil kingpins. The Lord of Hosts declares to His church: ‘The warfare for earth will now intensify, but you will experience swift turnarounds as you release My authority to regions, states, and nations. Lightning warfare, quick strikes, and rapid responses will occur against evil that once enjoyed passivity’s stupor among My people. The world will now see a different church. A ‘ruling and reigning with Me’ church. A church that strikes like lightning. When hell pushes, they will push back. When culture, government, big tech and education pushes, they will push back. And when demons push them, they will push back.’”   We are living in a historic, world-shaping time, a hinge of history. Holy Spirit is moving, empowering and resourcing us for this moment, energizing people with tenacious faith. It is time for the Ekklesia of King Jesus to boldly advance.  Pray with me:   Lord, we ask for the blitzkrieg of the Kingdom of God to be released. Loose Your voice throughout America and across the world. Thank You, God, for the release of angelic assistance and the power of Holy Spirit. Prepare and energize us with another powerful infilling of Holy Spirit; make us bold warriors, engaged against evil. Use us to strike like lightning against the strategies of hell, blinding philosophies, and plans of demons. Bring confusion into Your enemy’s camps. Restore purpose, truth and identity, freeing those bound, setting prodigal sons and daughters free. Give us great discernment, wisdom and understanding of our times. Lead us as we engage in the blitz push of Your Kingdom, striking demonic enemies, defeating their strategies, and setting captives free. We decree that Your Kingdom rule WILL come to earth. Will of God, be done! In Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree:  We decree the Ekklesia has been prepared for heaven’s blitz, and will win great and rapid victories for the Kingdom of God.

March 27, 2025 “‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’”  (Jeremiah 29:11 NASB) Three Important Words Many people consider this verse only when in difficult situations, using it to inspire hope that God has a plan for their deliverance or recovery. Though certainly including this, the verse has a much broader meaning. “Future” is from a Hebrew word that includes the meaning of destiny. (1) The New King James Version at times translates it this way.  As I said in yesterday’s post , “plans” is from a word meaning “to weave, plait, or mix.” (2)  It can even refer to craftsmen inventing musical instruments, artistic objects, weapons, and other objects. The concept is simple: combining two or more substances to create something new. When used in reference to the mind, it refers to thoughts mixing together to form plans.  God has plans for our future that involve more than rescue operations. They are His all-wise thoughts, woven together into plans before we are even born (Psalm 139:16) that become a hope-filled destiny. We can have confidence that we are more than a meaningless blip on eternity’s radar screen. God has assignments for us to accomplish, people whose lives we are to impact, prayers we are to pray, and more.  “Hope” is a word that means more than a pleasant expectation regarding the future; it is also the word for a cord or tether. (3)  Fascinating. Hope “connects” us to our future. Conversely, a lack of hope can cause us to give up on life, thereby disconnecting us from our future. Knowing and believing God has good plans and a destiny for us is more than optimism; this understanding and assurance actually connects us to that plan. This hope also forms a path or track upon which to travel. We no longer wander aimlessly, but follow the roadmap God gives us as we confidently seek Him daily (Proverbs 3:5-6). Life becomes a secure, meaningful journey, not a maze of endless dead-ends and wrong turns.  Governmental Destinies God destines some people to be leaders, including leadership in government. Donald Trump now believes that God saved his life in order for him to play a significant role in saving America. This belief has become a purpose that produces passion, a path that provides direction, and a cord connecting him to God. A belief in destiny, as President Trump now possesses, creates incredible motivation, discipline, and focus.  There are others in our government whom I am sure also realize they are there by God‘s design and calling. The concept of a “calling” is not limited to the religious world. Adam was called to be a gardener, David was called to be a shepherd and king, Abraham was called to be a rancher. God used these individuals mightily as they carried out responsibilities and careers we would normally not consider “spiritual.” Many individuals in vocations we would not consider spiritual do more to influence the world than those in so-called “spiritual” vocations. Are we to believe God does not “call” people to and equip them for this level of influence in government and other influential arenas? Of course He does. This means we must pray for God‘s gifts, anointing, and wisdom to be given them in their assignments. Do President Trump, his cabinet, and his advisors need this God-given help less than Moses, David, Josiah, or other leaders in the Scriptures? Do Mike Johnson and other legislators need this less than Joseph, Daniel, or Joshua? These people today are making decisions that influence the entire world! We should pray that they seek God and hear His voice. We should ask that Holy Spirit’s help be given them, as well as that of angels. We should ask that revelation of Scripture and insight from dreams be given to them. And, of course, we should pray for their safety and protection from harm, wrong influences, and corruption. I do not find it a stretch to believe that some mistakes made by leaders could have been avoided had people been praying for them. I believe some leaders who have fallen into sin could have been preserved from doing so had people been praying for them. Peter’s ministry and walk with God were undoubtedly saved by Christ’s intercession for him (Luke 22:31-32). Why would we be called to pray for leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-3) if our prayers did nothing? We must accept our responsibility to pray for those in government; part of their success as they serve us will be determined by our faithfulness to pray. The great preacher and orator, Charles Spurgeon, once made the profound statement, “Prayer bends the omnipotence of heaven to your desire. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.” (4)  This doesn’t mean our prayers control God; it means they involve Him. Let’s keep Him involved in our nation’s government. Pray with me: Father, thank You for the assurance that we have a purpose, and that our lives were planned by You. You created us with design and intent; we all have a calling and destiny. Teach us to factor this into our decisions and goals, always seeking Your path for us, staying tethered to Your purpose. A purpose we all share is moving Your powerful hand through our prayers. We are honored to partner with You in this way. We do so today by interceding for our government. We pray that President Trump, his cabinet, and his advisors will be given wisdom from You to lead America on a path of restoration. Keep them from wrong decisions and demonic traps. Help them make sound financial, legal, and military decisions. Guide them in their dealings with other nations. Help them reform our nation back to strength and morality.  We pray for Congress. Give them the understanding needed to legislate wisely. Give favor to those who honor You and Your ways, remove the voices of those who do not. Deliver us from the political spirit that is so influential and divisive in our nation. We pray for our Justices and Judges. Give them wisdom and understanding. Give us Judges who do not legislate, but who accurately and wisely interpret laws without prejudice or bias. We ask for the removal of those who politicize their positions and who do not honor You. Please continue to cleanse and reform our government and send an outpouring of Holy Spirit to our nation’s leaders. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that we are tethered to the plans and purposes of the Lord for our lives. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

March 26, 2025 Abraham was a dreamer, maybe one of the greatest ever. God liked that about him – at that time in history, He desperately needed a dreaming friend. The Lord had been waiting for him to come along, a man He could partner with to recapture His dream of family. The Redeemer would be born through this man’s family. Their story begins in Genesis 12, where God initiates His plan by instilling a dream in Abraham. “Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you…’” Notice that God began His journey with Abraham by speaking to his dreaming nature. How fascinating is that! “I’m going to make you My partner in rescuing My dream, Abraham. And I’m going to begin by giving YOU a dream.” Why, when looking for someone to help Him recapture His dream, would God approach it this way? He could have just demanded that Abraham do what He wanted. But the Lord is well aware of the strength of our dreaming nature. He placed it there, after all. With this in mind, God knew that for the partnership to endure for a lifetime, Abraham would need freedom to release this God-given nature. It couldn’t be a one-sided dream. Therefore, God began by placing a dream in Abraham’s heart regarding the birthing of a great nation and announced the partnership, “I will make from you a great nation” – Abraham's dream. “And in you, all the families of the earth will be blessed” – God’s dream (Genesis 12). Since God gave us our dreaming nature and has a purpose and destiny for each of us, it seems obvious He would want a voice in our choice of dreams. There is a verse of Scripture that addresses this and has meant a great deal to Ceci and me over the years:  “Roll your works on the Lord. Commit and trust them wholly to Him. He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and so shall your plans be established and succeed”  (Proverbs 16:3 AMP – classic edition). This wonderful verse seems almost too good to be true. God declares that He will supernaturally shape our thinking and plans, aligning them with His, which will then ensure success. The word plans  in this verse comes from a word meaning “to weave, plait, or mix.” It can even refer to craftsmen inventing musical instruments, artistic objects, weapons, and other objects. The concept is simple: combining two or more substances to create something new. When used in reference to the mind, it refers to thoughts mixing together to form plans. This obviously would include dreams. Placing this definition back into the verse, God is saying to us: When you dream, I want to be in the mix. If you will allow Me, I will infuse my thoughts into the process and shape your plans according to the purpose and destiny I have created for you. This will guarantee success. Just as He did with Abraham. What a great promise! I recall a time when Ceci and I were searching for the next phase of God’s calling in our lives. We had recently married, and I was about to graduate from Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. We had four opportunities we were considering. The leading possibilities in our minds were overseas. We were standing on this verse, Proverbs 16:3, from the Amplified Bible. We quoted the verse daily, usually picturing ourselves somewhere in Guatemala or Zimbabwe. Our bags were practically packed. Then, something strange occurred. While praying one day, I had the thought, CFNI is going to offer you a position, and you’re to accept it . “Where did that come from?” I thought. This was nowhere on our radar! Sure enough, within days, the offer came, and we said yes. It probably wouldn’t surprise you to know that those next two years working at CFNI became invaluable preparation for what God has done through us for the last forty-plus years. Proverbs 16:3 had happened. God infused His thoughts into ours, and we listened, allowing Him “into the mix.” Dreaming works out much better when we bring the Author of dreams into the plans! Proverbs 19:21 uses this same word: “Many plans  are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand.”  Most of the time, we humans make our plans and formulate our dreams without bringing God into the process. This began with Adam and Eve’s original sin in Eden. Satan, the tempter, knew he could throw a wrench into God’s dream if he could cause humans to dream without divine influence. God’s plan wasn’t to have a family of independent dreamers; He desired co-dreamers. It was never His plan that we dream apart from Him and His influence – not because He’s a control freak, but because He wanted partners and associates. God wanted someone to dream with  and someone to dream  through. He needed outlets for His dreams. During the late 1700s, the Lord chose a remarkable destiny for a young man in England, one that would help shape the history of a nation. The movie Amazing Grace  tells the true story of William Wilberforce, who led the efforts to eradicate slavery from Great Britain. When asked by his butler after his conversion if he had found God, Wilberforce’s reply was, “I think He found me.” Indeed, God found Wilberforce, who became so joined to His heart and desires that ultimately, no price was too great for the dream. His passion to see slavery end was so overwhelming that it resulted in stomach ailments, nightmares, ridicule, and four decades of tireless work. But days before his death, the decisive vote came to eliminate slavery from England. When the law became formal three days after the vote, Wilberforce’s spirit left this world. Thomas Buxton, a member of the House of Commons at the time, said of Wilberforce, “The day which was the termination of his labors was the termination of his life.” (1) God has need of you, just as He did Wilberforce. Since He never acts without purpose, the fact that you’re alive is proof that you have something this generation needs. Most people, however, go through life pursuing personal careers and goals without ever considering that God wants to dream through their thoughts/plans. Too often, He’s a lonely dreamer. There must be millions of written but unfulfilled destinies in God’s dream book in heaven. The plans, accomplishments, and dreams He wrote about for so many are tragically undiscovered and unrealized. He and His plans never make it into their dream mix.  Pray with me: Father, as we are challenged to dream, we look now at the importance of keeping You in the mix. Teach us how to allow Your thoughts, Your ways, and Your heart to leaven the process. You have promised that if we do this, our plans will be established and succeed. You tell us in Your Word that many plans are in a person’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord – Your counsel – will stand. Forgive us for taking You out of the mix in our personal lives, and also for doing so as a nation. We repent on behalf of our nation and ask for the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our rebellion and rejection of You. You have determined that we would be outlets for Your dreams, as would our nation. We choose this day to walk in the fullness of that revelation. Psalm 2 makes clear Your dream of a great harvest in all the nations. You told Jesus to ask You for this, and You would do it. He has asked, and now You will accomplish it. As part of Your dreaming family, we partner with You to see this accomplished. And we do it in the unfailing name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We declare that God is in our thinking, leading us down His paths. Therefore our plans will succeed. Today’s post was taken from my book Dream , published by Baker Books.

March 25, 2025 Introduction In yesterday’s post, I spoke to you about the nations being given to Christ as His inheritance. Today, let’s focus on us as individuals being part of this inheritance. We are loved by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Today’s title: Undistracted Devotion I like football. Okay, I love football. And for all the NFL fans out there, the Dallas Cowboys may be America’s team, but as any true fan knows, the Denver Broncos are God’s team. That’s why He made the sky blue and sunsets orange. Several years ago, when my younger daughter, Hannah, was only three or four years old, I was enjoying a great Broncos playoff game (my favorite NFL team at the time). Did you catch that? Not just a game – a Broncos playoff game. I had a great fire in the fireplace, had kicked back in my football recliner, and was into a great game. Hannah did not understand football and couldn’t have cared less about the game. She plopped down in my lap and, as kids do, began jabbering about something. She wasn’t talking about anything terribly important – at least, I didn’t think it was all that important. But I was listening…sort of. I was actually dividing my attention between her dialogue and the exploits of John Elway.  This is real devotion to my daughter, I thought. Sharing my football time with her childish jabbering. Bronco’s playoff football, at that. What a devoted dad I am. I was doing the typical distracted listening routine, an “uh-huh” here, an “ohhh” there, with a smile or two and a head nod thrown in for added effect. Sure, I was missing a play here or there, but hey, that’s just the price of devotion. Hannah has always been very perceptive. And, of course, she has the female trait of wanting the men in her life to really listen – to the details! I don’t know when that particular gene kicks in for women, but it obviously comes alive at an earlier age than I realized. After a few minutes of my divided attention, Hannah had finally had enough. “Dad,” she said rather sternly as she placed one index finger on each cheek and turned my face away from the TV and directly toward her. “Look me in the eye and listen.” Women manifest these mindsets and tendencies at a young age! With my attitude adjustment, I looked her in the eye and listened! That, my friend, is undistracted devotion. Paul uses these two words, “undistracted devotion,” in 1 Corinthians 7:35, speaking of our commitment to the Lord. The phrase comes from the Greek words  aperispastos euprosedros . The literal meaning of the first word is interesting, “Don’t let anything pull or drag you away from something.” (1)  With this picture in mind, it became the word for “undistracted.” Devotion is euprosedros.  The root word prosedros  means “to sit forward or toward” someone or something. Imagine a person sitting in the presence of someone they are completely devoted to, leaning toward them, hanging on every word. The prefix  eu means “well,” intensifying the concept to mean “sitting well toward.” In our culture today, we often use a similar phrase, “sitting on the edge of our seats.” Obviously, we mean by this that we’re totally captivated by someone or some performance. Hence, the meaning of “devotion.” Putting the two words together: Don’t let anything or anyone pull you away from your devotion or attraction to Him.  Hannah wanted me to give HER some face time, not the TV; she wanted undistracted devotion , demonstrating that she, not the Broncos, was number one. And she was. At that moment, my favorite color wasn’t orange; it was brown, the color of her eyes. God would like some face time with you. He knows you’re busy and can’t live like a monk, giving yourself to nonstop worship and meditation. He’s also aware that you have a family to care for, work to perform, and the need for sleep. He doesn’t want all of your time; He does, however, want some  undistracted  time. It’s a matter of setting the right priorities. You can’t focus on everything; focus on what matters most. I have found that priorities are heart-related. What means most to me is what I’ll prioritize the most. If we find ourselves uninterested in the pleasure of God’s company, the place to start is with repentance. We should ask God to forgive us of indifference toward Him, and to awaken passion in us. Then begin spending quality time with Him. As we do, hunger for His presence will increase, and we will look forward to those times. As King Solomon was about to begin his reign over Israel, he prayed a prayer God couldn’t resist. “So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”  (1 Kings 3:9). The phrase “an understanding heart” should actually be translated as “a hearing heart.” Most translators struggle with the concept of a “hearing” heart, so they don’t word it this way. But the Hebrew word is shama, meaning “to hear.” (2)  Solomon asked for a hearing heart. God liked that.  In times past, before we had refrigerators, people used icehouses to preserve food. They had thick walls and were well-insulated. In winter, large chunks of ice were taken from lakes, ponds, or streams and laid on the floor, then covered with a thick layer of sawdust to insulate it. This made a great “refrigerator.” One day, a gentleman lost an expensive watch in the icehouse. Due to the thickness of the sawdust, his efforts to find it had failed. Others looked, also in vain. Finally, a small boy slipped into the icehouse when no one was around and promptly found the valuable watch. Surprised, the men asked the young boy how he had so quickly found the valuable timepiece. “I closed the door, lay down on the floor, and was very quiet,” replied the lad. “Pretty soon, I heard it ticking.” (3) Hearts can hear, but only when they’re undistracted. Our problem in hearing God isn’t His refusal to speak but our negligence in getting quiet enough to hear. Silencing the soul (the mind and emotions) is a learned art. The psalmist David spoke of this.  “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother” (Psalm 131:2). When we quiet the soul, we can hear His voice in our hearts. God speaks to those who will listen. Slow down a little and let Him into your world. If you do, He’ll allow you into His. He will find the pleasure of your undistracted devotion, and you will experience the pleasure of hearing His heart. Look Him in the eyes and listen. Pray with me: Father, we thank You for Your undivided attentiveness toward us. The Song of Solomon tells us You are ravished by just one glance from our eyes (Song of Solomon 4:9). What pleasure might it bring Your heart when we choose to not only glance, but to gaze, giving You our undivided devotion. You love Your family! We repent today for letting ourselves lose interest in the pleasure of Your company; forgive us for our indifference. Awaken passion in us for Your presence, and guide us as we reset our priorities. Holy Spirit, teach us the art of waiting on You with undivided hearts in order to hear You clearly. You are worthy of our undistracted devotion, sitting on the edge of our seats, watching intently for Your every move, listening to every word You speak. Like Solomon, we ask, “Would You grant to us hearing hearts!” What a change this will make! Jesus, we choose to prioritize You, taking the time to look into Your eyes, and pausing to listen.  (Prayer taken from: Song of Solomon 4:9; Matthew 13:15; 1 Corinthians 7:35; Isaiah 50:7; 1 Kings 3:9, 28; 1 Kings 10:24; Psalm 131:2) Our decree: We decree that we will silence the distractions, listen intently to the Lord’s voice, and hear Him with our hearts.

March 24, 2025 It is exciting to change the world as part of God’s international Ekklesia! His praying church is growing and maturing. A simple but powerful insight regarding prayer is what some call “Praying the Promises.” One of the most profound promises in Scripture we can pray and act on is Psalm 2:1-9 (NKJV):  “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and His Anointed (Christ/Messiah), saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath and distress them in His deep displeasure: ‘Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.’ I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You.  Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”  Think about the amazing phenomenon occurring in this passage. Psalm 2 allows us to enter a conversation between the Father and His beloved Son, Jesus, in which Yahweh makes Him an eternal PROMISE! “You are My Son … Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession.” (verses 7-8) This Psalm tells us Jesus was given a great promise for which He had to ask, cooperating with God through prayer. The Father instructed His Son to pray and ask for every nation; they were His inheritance. God loves the nations. He loves America! We know that while on earth, Jesus was a man of disciplined prayer (Hebrews 5:7; Luke 11:1). Surely He asked for the nations!  We pray with passion and hope for America because Jesus was promised this nation as His inheritance. And He is granting us more and more insights, revelation, and passion as we do so! This is also why we pray with faith and send missionaries around the earth – because Jesus was promised every nation as His inheritance. And every nation has a growing Ekklesia “Praying the Promise” for their beloved nation. “Several years ago, I was ministering in Toronto. On my last morning there, as I was packing my bags and thinking about my final session, I was also visiting with Holy Spirit. I wasn’t in intercession, and it wasn’t my quiet time. I was simply communing while working, sharing some of my inner thoughts with Him, much the same way I might have done with my wife had she been there.   “Suddenly, Holy Spirit spoke to me. It was as natural and matter-of-fact as if two friends were sharing their hearts. ‘Japan is really on My heart this morning,’ Holy Spirit said.   “This surprised me. I’ve never thought of God at times having one place on His heart more than others. I’ve always figured He had every place  on His heart all the time. And the phrase ‘on My heart’ surprised me as well. It was more than on His mind; this was something deeper – very important to Him. I felt as though He was letting me into His very heart.   “He then said to me, ‘I must have Japan. There is tremendous warfare over the nation right now. Would you pray for Japan this morning in your session?’   “How do you like that?! Not a command, as in ‘Pray for Japan!’ But a question, ‘Would You?’ He was asking  me!   “‘Of course we will, Holy Spirit,’ I said. ‘We would be honored to do that.’ And we did! Such an anointing and burden of prayer came upon the assembly – tears, travail, intense intercession. It went on for about 45 minutes, at which time I had to leave for the airport. They continued – how long, I do not know.” (1)   God’s heart was yearning for the nation of Japan. Japan has been promised to Jesus, as has Canada, Mexico, Iraq, China, etc. Every nation has been promised to Him. Jesus loves Japan. Jesus loves the nations! This season finds us in a powerful and anointed time of “Praying the Promise” Yahweh gave Jesus regarding the nations. Holy Spirit has many redemptive purposes now working through the Ekklesia in a massive invasion of planet earth. They are happening in amazing, synergistic ways!  Holy Spirit outpourings are occurring in America  Angel armies are on the move  The Great Communion awakening is taking place Righteous leadership is arising in nations  And the Prayer Army is “Praying the Promise” of Psalm 2 Do you think the Father will answer the decree and promise He made to His Son in Psalm 2? YES! Jesus has asked and continues to do so through His Bride, His Ekklesia, you and me. Holy Spirit is orchestrating this partnership of prayer for America and all nations. And our prayers are being progressively answered, manifesting before our very eyes. Conclusion We pray for our nation, not because of a particular political party or candidate, and not from a selfish nationalism. We pray, and we do so with confidence because of the Father’s Promise to Jesus in Psalm 2. Would you take hold of this promise? Would you “Pray the Promise” with Jesus? Pray the simple prayer: “Heavenly Father, I pray with Jesus today and ask that You fulfill Your Promise to Him, giving Him America as His inheritance. Today, I ask for Your Kingdom to COME and Your will to be done in our country.” There is something epic happening in America… There is something epic taking place in the nations… The promise of the Father to His Son (Psalm 2) is being answered right before our eyes! Just over 50 years ago, the Lord began this phase of growing His prayer army. Two books were copyrighted in 1973 that ignited many intercessors: Rees Howells – Intercessor  by Norman Grubb (Christian Literature Crusade, copyright 1973), and Shaping History through Prayer & Fasting  by Derek Prince (Whitaker House, copyright 1973). Both of these books emphasized the great need to impact the nations for Jesus through prayer and fasting. Each of them demonstrated that God has chosen intercession as the key to shaping history. Back then, most believers were not focused on the nations, including praying for America. Fifty years later, that has changed for America and all nations. Holy Spirit is emphasizing and anointing this awesome promise in Psalm 2. Let’s pray it and release the power of God’s promise to Jesus. Pray with me: Father, we pray and decree Your promise to Jesus that You would give Him the nations as His inheritance. He created the earth and all it contains with His words, redeemed the inhabitants with His blood, and You have declared that He would be King, the Sovereign Ruler over all of it. We now “Pray the Promise.” We ask that America be not just the promised, legal inheritance of Jesus, but the relational and realized inheritance. We ask this as well for all the nations.  We know this isn’t institutions and organizations, nor is Christ’s rule a forced dominance or dictatorship. Your relational heart wants to make the inhabitants of the nations Your family and friends, Your heirs, and Christ’s co-heirs. This desire is beyond explanation – the infinite God wants a relationship with finite man. We are grateful beyond words. So now we ask: give Christ the nations. Give Him this billion-soul harvest Holy Spirit has talked about. Give Him the fruit of His labors and sacrifice, the complete harvest from the incorruptible seed He became. John, the beloved, saw this company: “…a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Revelation 7:9). We ask for this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree:   We decree that the Father’s promise to give Jesus the nations will be granted. America shall be saved.

March 21, 2025 First of all, I want to thank you for such a wonderful response regarding the upcoming elections in Wisconsin. The feedback we are receiving is that many have responded to this simple yet brilliant plan of sending letters, encouraging like-minded individuals to vote. Million Voices , those leading this incredibly important effort are very appreciative; they also tell me they still need more letters sent and time is short. This election has such incredible ramifications for the entire nation that I am now hearing secular media speak of it accordingly. Some are predicting that $100 million will be spent on this one election. If you did not see the important post regarding this entitled “ A Critical and Time Sensitive Opportunity ,” you can find it here . Please get involved if you can; you do not have to be a Wisconsin resident to help. And thank you again for your time and prayers. Today’s post  Those who formed America, both its leaders (including in the church) and the general population, knew God and man would have to work together in order for the nation to be formed and succeed. God would supply 1) the wisdom and understanding of His laws and ways found in Scripture; 2) the natural resources; and 3) the blessings reaped from obedience sown. Man’s part would be to 1) remain in right relationship with this heavenly source (which included honoring and walking in His ways; 2) seek and apply His wisdom and guidance; and 3) implement hard work to maximize His resources. It isn’t all that complicated.  God would do His part, we would do ours. He would NOT do our part, we CANNOT do His.  There was no separation between God and country in their thinking. No, they did not want a state-run church or a church-run state. But they did want a God-influenced, God-honoring, and God-blessed government and nation. His ways would be the source of their laws and government, His favor would be the source of their protection and blessing. This partnership and alliance is biblical, demonstrated through Israel, and every other person God has used.   In America’s relationship and partnership with God, believers (the church) would of course be a voice into government, along with all other citizens. It was, after all, a democratic  republic. These believers would also pray for government leaders, those who carried the weighty responsibility of understanding and applying God’s principles of truth and justice for the nation. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Somewhere along the way things changed. Some members of government decided, “we don’t want God’s or the church’s involvement. Christians can be in government,” they said, “but leave the Bible and your faith out of it.” (This is called secularism.) Conversely, some in the church agreed, saying, “we don’t want to be involved.” How asinine and foolish it is for a nation to say they don’t want God‘s influence in their government; and how heretical and foolish it is for believers to relinquish their voices into God’s method of releasing justice and peace on earth: government.  In the church, these changes influenced doctrine. Many believers in America now contend that the church should stay out of “politics,” as though using this word instead of “government” somehow exonerates them from their “we the people” responsibility. Just “preach the gospel,” they say, often quoting Jesus’ words, “My Kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). Interpretation: Just work to get people born again and ultimately to Heaven; don’t concern yourself with the affairs of earth.  Pardon my sarcasm, but I guess Holy Spirit didn’t get the message. He put hundreds of principles in the Scriptures regarding how to live here on earth, including how to govern. The last time I checked, the principles contained in the Bible were all regarding how to live on and govern the earth, not heaven. Yet many in the church have no time for these “petty” principles regarding stewardship of the earth. “Just get people to heaven!” they preach. “To hell with this evil and corrupted earth.” Yet, God had not even ended the first chapter of Scripture before He announced the divine-human partnership, assigning Adam and Eve the responsibility of managing and governing the earth for Him. The horrible irony is that pulling out of government – which includes not praying for those involved in it, not speaking into it, not teaching on it, and not participating in the process – invites the rule of darkness, corruption, wars, suffering, and evils of every sort. It doesn’t help get people TO heaven, it keeps them FROM heaven.  Thankfully, a segment of believers is being awakened to the divine-human partnership established by God on earth. Revelation of the Creator’s plan for His kids to manage the earth with Him, implementing the ways and plans of His Kingdom, is on the increase. The earth is groaning and travailing for the full manifestation of this (Romans 8:19).  One of the ways we can involve ourselves in this partnership is simply by praying for government. We CAN influence and empower those in authority through our prayers and Spirit-led decrees of God’s Word. We can bind evil spirits that are behind evil laws, and ask God to remove those who dishonor Him and His ways. Please do so. And pastors, honor the words of Christ and make your church a “house of prayer”  (Matthew 21:13). Offer up a prayer or two in your services regarding government and God’s influence there. Do so not just for America, but for all nations. If this simple act of obedience alone occurred, it would change the world overnight.  Pray with me: Father, we know You want to bring change, but the change will involve us. You want to deliver, but the deliverance will be released through us. We are Your agents of change, those who birth Your will on earth through our prayers and declarations. We are Your family, Your representatives and partners on earth. As such, we pray for the manifestation of Your Kingdom’s purposes and principles in our government. We ask for this in our Executive Branch, our Congress, and our Judicial system. As You did through Jeremiah, root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, build, and plant (Jeremiah 1:10). Whatever is required, we ask that You do it.  Remove the influence of activist judges. Do not allow them to succeed in preventing the changes we need in America. Give us righteous judges who have backbone, men and women who are fearless and uncompromising, from the Supreme Court down through the entire judicial system of our government. Please do this in Wisconsin’s upcoming election. Thank You for the revival that is beginning among the young people in America. You told us You would do this and it is taking place. Now cause such a powerful revival to sweep through our land that every branch of our government is also impacted. Give us leaders who are on fire for You, living lives of devotion and passion, honoring Your Word and ways above all else. All of this we pray in Yeshua’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the fruit of God’s partnership between Him and His people will fully manifest in America. Click on the link below to watch the full video:

March 20, 2025 As corrupt as some on the Left have become, it should not be surprising that they have leftist judges who will do their bidding. The politicization of many in the Judicial Branch of our government is certainly being demonstrated. America is not approaching a constitutional crisis; we are already in one. The Left has amped up its use of the Judicial system to keep our Executive Branch from doing what “we the people” elected it to do. “Government by temporary restraining order,” as one article describes it, is now the strategy. (1) As I said, we should not be surprised. Did we think the swamp would go down the drain peacefully? They will fight with every effort possible to maintain their control over America. Honesty, integrity, the Constitution – none of these things are deterrents. One of their problems now, however, is that the evils they are fighting to protect are so blatantly dishonest and corrupt that every honest American can see it. We know Biden and his team betrayed our country and broke our immigration laws to bring in millions of illegals, including rapists, murderers, and vicious gangs. Now, liberal judges and liberal members of Congress are fighting to keep these vicious criminals in our country. Biden actually flew many of them in with our hard earned tax dollars, yet they tell us Trump can’t fly them out.  Some judges and members of Congress also fight the shutting down of fraudulent programs, including the waste and theft of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. These efforts, they tell us, are to save democracy. There’s a head scratcher: the $36 trillion of national debt is not the problem; DOGE is the real problem. Americans may have for years been uninformed, naïve, and negligent, but the majority of them are not stupid. When politicians and judges want criminals to remain in the land and don’t want taxpayers to know how their money is spent, we might just have a corruption problem. Is there any wonder why most Americans are cynical of our government officials?  I can assure you this will get uglier before it is resolved. Just as the Left won’t give up, we who want to see America saved are also determined to win, and are positioned to do so. There is now a bold and patriotic man, whom the Left tried to humiliate and destroy for 10 years, by the way, leading one of our three branches of government. He has put together a team of gifted patriots determined to clean up our government, and they have patriots in Congress working with them. Most importantly of all, a majority of Americans support the process. This threefold cord - Trump and his team, some in Congress and the American people - is determined to save our nation and restore it to greatness and strength. And they are acutely aware that the process, like a radical surgery to remove a tumor, will be messy and painful. But they also know that the procedure is necessary, or the patient will die. This trinity of reformers realizes that the Left in Congress will continue to fight, as will progressive, leftist judges. They know the propaganda and publicity arm of the swamp, the mainstream media, will also continue to fight, as will their indoctrination arm, the current education system. The Left is fighting for its political and ideological life, and will stop at nothing in attempts to maintain its power. Nothing.  We, the praying church, must stay informed and engaged. We must pray for our righteous leaders daily, releasing the spiritual force necessary to empower their natural efforts. This is a two-fold effort to save our nation and reposition it to its God-given destiny. We intercessors must war against spiritual forces, while they fight on the governmental and social fronts. The war must be waged in both realms. As you pray, remember that we are not trying to “talk God into” doing this, but are implementing His chosen method, prayer, which releases His authority and power. I quote again the great Jack Hayford, who said: “Prayer is essentially a partnership of the redeemed child of God, working hand in hand with God, toward the realization of His redemptive purposes on the earth.” (2) I conclude with Christ’s instructions in Matthew 6:10, telling us to command His will to be done. “Be done” is the Greek word ginomai . (3)  The word means to be created, born, or come into existence; it is used when referencing Christ creating all things in John 1:3 and Hebrews 11:3. We get many of our “gen” words from this word: genus, genes, genetics, gender, genealogy, generation, etc. all having to do with reproduction. When Christ told us to command His will to be done, He was saying, “Command My will to be generated, to come into being for Me.”  Obviously, it is not our power that is released in order to accomplish this. It is, however, our voice. We are those through whom Christ works to accomplish His purposes on earth. Jesus is asking us to do for Him what He did for the Father while on earth. Christ said His works were actually those of His Father: “The Father in me, He doeth the works”  (John 14:10). Though this was true, Jesus was the one doing the touching and speaking. He was the Father’s conduit. In our representation of Christ, the pattern is the same: He provides the authority, power and directions; we are His hands, feet and voice.  Don’t rely only on government officials to cleanse and restore our nation. Release the authority and power of Christ. According to Psalm 2, all nations are part of His inheritance, including America. Let’s make it happen!  Pray with me: Father, we are humbled and honored to represent Your Kingdom here on earth. Though Your Kingdom is spiritual, it is no less real, and You want its influence in every activity on earth, every square inch of which belongs to You. Those who think they can overrule You are deceived. You have already promised rule over the nations to Your Son; and He declared in Matthew 28:18 that all authority here on earth was now His.  Though we are not called to release Your influence by natural force, we are called to do so spiritually, dealing with spiritual powers operating behind the scenes. We bind them and their efforts to destroy America’s relationship with You and the calling You gave us. We command the generating of Your will in our government and nation: be done! We ask You to release Your influence over individuals, to orchestrate events and circumstances, and to expose evil.  We ask You to bring a revival that will save and change the hearts of millions of Americans. You are clearly ripening the harvest fields through Your works and actions. We thank You for this and ask that it continue. Please bring a solution to the rogue judges operating in our nation. Give President Trump, his Justice Department and our legislators wise ideas and strategies. Use them to clean up this mess we pray, in Jesus name.

March 19, 2025 President Trump is in somewhat of a showdown with several judges. Though most judges are honest individuals, the Left has often used liberal judges to do for them what they could not accomplish through Congress. Roe vs. Wade is a glaring example. Through the word “privacy” in our Constitution, judges found the right to kill babies in the womb and made it the law of the land. The Supreme Court finally righted this abominable wrong in 2022.  On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court decided it had the right to overrule God and the Bible by redefining marriage, making the right to same-sex marriage the law of the land. Five unelected Justices reversed thousands of years of tradition, and in one of the most arrogant defiances of God in history, “redefined” the first – and arguably the most important – covenant He established on earth. The Justices were Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. In the past few years, we have watched rogue judges (and prosecutors) try to destroy President Trump and those associated with him. Now they are attempting to keep him from exposing and ending fraud in our government, and from deporting violent criminals – who came to America illegally in the first place. If we were not all watching this lunacy take place, it would be beyond belief. Hundreds of congressional leaders and numerous judges  don’t want the fraud exposed or the criminals deported! It turns out Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Thomas Jefferson, no novice when it comes to government and the Constitution, warned of judicial extremes.  “The great object of my fear is the Federal Judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting with noiseless foot and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step and holding what it gains, is insidiously engulfing the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them.” (Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, 1821) (1) In a letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804, Jefferson warned that giving judges too much control would lead to despotism. A despot, by the way, is a king, tyrant, or other oppressor with absolute, cruel, and unlimited power. This Founding Father stated: “Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” (2) In a letter to Judge Roane, September 6, 1819, Jefferson restated his concerns regarding the judiciary, contending that the Constitution did not give them control over the other two branches. Had it done so, Jefferson contended that: “The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” (3) In a letter to Diplomat William Jarvis (September 28, 1820), Jefferson again warned that making the Supreme Court the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional issues would lead to despotism: “You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so . . . and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.” (4) And at the risk of boring you with Jeffersonian wisdom, eloquence, and accurate predictions, here is one more statement referencing the judiciary as the “most dangerous” branch of our government: “At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the Constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance...” (Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823) (5) Thomas Jefferson knew the weaknesses of human nature, and that “judges are as honest as other men, and not more so.” (6)  Indeed, the last line of defense for the deep state and leftist legislators, in their attempts to maintain control of America seems now to be the courts. As Daniel Horowitz stated:  “They have ordered the administration to fund private foreign aid organizations, reinstate specific personnel, and publish designated information on government websites. In one case, a judge even directed the Secretary of Defense to retract a statement on the Pentagon’s policy regarding transgender troops. And over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasburg attempted to block the deportation of violent gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. “What’s next? Will they order Trump to stop threatening Hamas or remove the bust of Andrew Jackson from the Oval Office? “Judges have forgotten who they are: unelected shields against government overreach, not legislative swords that can impose policies. Perhaps Trump needs to examine that bust of “Old Hickory” Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office and recall his (likely apocryphal) response to Chief Justice John Marshall’s ruling in Worcester v. Georgia:  ‘John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!’” (7) What is our role in all of this? Vote, stay informed, be voices for truth, support honest and righteous government officials, get involved in local school boards and government, and PRAY. We must pray that the Lord overrides the decision of dishonest or misguided judges, exposing their inappropriate decisions. Ask God to continue exposing the corruption in our government. We need for unrighteous judges who legislate from the bench to be removed. Ask God to give favor and great understanding to honorable judges. Pray daily for great wisdom to be given to government leaders fighting for truth, freedom, and the restoration of America. We should pray this, especially for President Trump‘s Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies as they uproot and tear down the evil that has entrenched itself. And pray for those in Congress working with them by codifying the changes. Lastly, pray for revival. Lasting change will only come to America as millions of hearts are transformed by the power of Holy Spirit. This, and this alone, will empower the full reformation needed in our nation. Pray with me: Father, we know that righteousness and justice are the foundations of Your throne. We also know that these foundations are based on truth, which is found in You and Your Word. And we believe that as our Framers sought You for wisdom, You answered their prayers as they wrote our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Leftists and despots continuously rebel against this wisdom and Your truth. We ask for Your supernatural help in stopping their efforts. We ask that You give President Trump’s team great understanding and wisdom as they work against attempts to turn our nation away from the Judeo-Christian principles upon which we were founded. Release Your sovereign and all-powerful hand to dismantle evil structures and systems created by those who resist truth in America. Break off of us the tyranny of evil and dishonest judges.  Help us rebuild a strong America. Give us wisdom to mend our flaws, building back an even stronger and more righteous nation. Shake out evil and do a deep work of cleansing. Revive us and restore us. In the name of Jesus, we pray, amen. Our decree: We decree that righteousness will prevail in the courts of America.  Watch the video below: http://www.robgagnon.net/JeffersonOnJudicialTyranny.htm Ibid. Ibid. Ibid. Ibid.

March 18, 2025 The Hebrew words translated “watchman” are natsar, shamar  and  tsaphah . They mean to guard or protect by watching over. In ancient times they were also used to describe hedging around crops with thorn bushes to keep out encroachers. (1) The words include the concept of hiding or concealing something. (2)  Watchmen, through intercession, create the Psalm 91 secret place of protection.  Genesis 2:15 is the first time one of them is used in Scripture: “ And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep (shamar) it.”  Adam was told to guard or “keep” the garden. From what? It had to be the serpent! I assert this firstly because it is much in keeping with the nature of God to have warned him. To have done otherwise would not have been consistent with God’s character.  Second, neither Adam nor Eve seemed shocked when a snake talked to them. It evidently didn’t come as a total surprise. Third, what else could there have been before the Fall to guard, keep or protect the garden from? Only the serpent. This is an important point – the first mention of watching or protecting in Scripture gives us the primary responsibility of the watchman: Keep the serpent out! Guard or protect that which God has entrusted to your care from the subtle encroachment of the serpent. Keep him out of your garden: your home, family, church, city, nation! Keep him out! These three Hebrew words are also translated in several other ways. I’m going to list several of them, elaborating briefly, to provide a more well-rounded understanding of the concept. As you will plainly see, many pages could be written commenting on the symbolism and connection to prayer. For brevity’s sake I have not done so, but I would encourage you to think on each definition, allowing the Holy Spirit to bring insight to you personally. Keep or Keeper This is by far the most frequent usage of these three words, translated as such at least 250 times in the King James Version. Watchmen “keep” possessions, places, and individuals safe. They ensure against loss, theft or damage. They “keep” things intact, in possession. Guard Watchmen are guards. They protect possessions, places, and as the next usage demonstrates, people.  Bodyguard Watchmen guard and protect individuals, shielding them from danger and harm. They are the secret service agents of the Kingdom, guarding and protecting others. When I pastored, intercessors in our fellowship were faithful to cover me in prayer. More than once I was told, “Pastor, I was up through the night praying for you.” Occasionally they asked, “Was something wrong?” “No,” I always responded. They were a bit confused, thinking they had misheard the Holy Spirit, until I replied, “And your prayers are probably why! Keep praying; it’s working!” It was a comfort to know I had spiritual bodyguards. Ministers would be more effective if the body of Christ had more faithful watchmen. Doorkeeper This one is obviously similar to the next, so I will comment on both of them together. Gatekeeper Watchmen have the ability,  through prayer, to determine who or what enters their homes, their families’ lives, their churches, their cities, etc. They discern by the Holy Spirit what to allow in, and through prayer, open and close the door. They invite in the work of the Holy Spirit and reject the works of darkness, keeping enemies out.  Preserve or Preserver Watchmen preserve, keeping things from ruin and destruction. They preserve lives, anointings, moves of God and a host of other things by covering them in prayer. In their book, How to Pray for Your Family ,  Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock tell of four ladies who functioned as watchmen for their farms. These women walked the perimeters of the fields while the husbands worked, sometimes covering as much as six miles in a day. They prayed for protection from insects, crop diseases, hail and drought. They asked God to give their husbands wisdom in farming and marketing and prayed for angels to be assigned to the efforts. The results were amazing. It turned out to be one of their better years. No storm or insect damage, no unwise decisions and a good profit – while others around them had a difficult year with little profit. We simply aren’t practical enough at times with our intercession tactics. These ladies, watching in intercession, opened the way for God’s blessing upon their families’ financial endeavors. (3) Pay attention Watchmen must be on the alert, paying attention. Though this is obvious, we often fail to do so. Like soldiers, God “calls us to attention.” Lives are at stake. The spiritual harvest fields must be guarded. Pay attention, watchmen! Observe Be observant. Quite simply, watchmen must watch! If they do so, they’ll observe what others fail to see. This involves the concept of discernment. Behold This usage is similar to observe, of course, but I list it because it intensifies the command to watch: Behold! Beware Watchmen must be vigilant, aware, on the alert. First Peter 5:8 warns us to be of sober spirit. Always beware, intercessor! Watch for satan, who roams about like a lion, seeking someone to devour. When you discern him at work, enforce Calvary's victory with your God-given authority.  Protect In the same sense as guarding and keeping, watchmen protect. They build walls or boundaries of protection from the attacks of the devil.  Maintain Watchmen maintain things for other people and for the Lord. They are the maintenance crew. They may not build or plant, as some do, but they maintain what has been built, keeping things working well, preventing breakdowns. Ask the Lord to strengthen  you in your ability to watch and pray . Ask Him for sensitivity – the ability to sense in the spirit realm, being able to pick up and hear His alerts and warnings. Let’s do so now. Pray with me: Father, it is never Your will for the serpent to encroach on our “gardens.” He is subtle, but You have sent Holy Spirit to help us, alerting us to his attacks. Teach us to listen, to always be alert, paying attention to Your promptings. Fine tune us. We want to be watchmen for our families, friends, and leaders.  We are also to be watchmen for our nation. Had we been alert, prayer would not have been removed from our schools, and the murder of babies in the womb would never have been the law of our land. Had we been paying attention and taking action, our government would not have been overtaken by those who dishonor You, our education system by unrighteous propagandists.   You are giving us another chance to step into our role of protecting and preserving what You gave us. You are raising up an army of watchmen who refuse to allow our harvest and our inheritance to be stolen. Release boldness and determination to this army, enabling them to be fearless and unwavering. May we find ourselves faithful in this strategic and unprecedented hour. In Christ’s name, we pray, amen. Our decree: We decree that we have ears to hear and hearts to obey what God is saying.  Portions of today’s post were taken from my book Intercessory Prayer , published by Baker Books.

March 17, 2025 Signs and wonders will undoubtedly play a significant role in the coming great harvest. This is consistent with Scripture. In the book of Acts, immediately after the church was born on the day of Pentecost, miracles began occurring and were used to generate amazing numbers of conversions. As chapter 3 begins, Peter was used to heal a lame man at the gate called “Beautiful.” He had been lame from birth, completely unable to walk, and sat at this gate daily, begging for alms. Because of the prominent location, all of Jerusalem and many in Israel knew of this man, having seen him numerous times.  Jesus Himself had no doubt walked by this man many times, and yet chose not to perform the miracle. Always led by the Spirit, He knew it wasn’t the right time (John 5:19, 30; 8:29; Luke 4:1). On this day in Acts 3, Holy Spirit moved upon Peter, letting him know this was the right time. He was used to work one of the greatest miracles ever performed, and as a result, 5000 people were born again. What is incredibly fascinating is that the Greek word used in this passage for the name of the gate, Beautiful,” literally means “the right time” ( horaios ). How fascinating is that! The word does not mean beautiful in the sense of attractive or pretty. It is a “circumstantial beauty,” used to describe that which occurs when the right circumstances come together at “the right time,” creating something beautiful.  God, in His sovereignty and foreknowledge, named this gate “The Right Time,” then made sure the lame man’s family chose this as the location for him to daily beg for alms. Then, He led Jesus to NOT heal the man, saving the miracle for “the right time,” when the newly birthed church would need a miracle of this magnitude to prove Jesus was alive and was the Messiah. The “right time” miracle at the “right time” gate! Isn’t God amazing!!! Continuing in chapter 4 of Acts, miracles were once again associated with reaching people for Christ: “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.”  (verses 29-33) The church leaders prayed for boldness, healings, signs and wonders, then declared God’s Word. He responded by giving them great grace and power to demonstrate Christ’s resurrection, which resulted in multitudes being saved. In the next chapter, Acts 5,  “by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people… and believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women… there came also a multitude out of the cities round about onto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and those who were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed everyone.” (from Verses 12-16) It was clearly God‘s plan to use signs and wonders to confirm the truth of the gospel, producing “multitudes” of conversions to Christ. It will do the same today.  By the time we get to Acts chapter 6, ministry in the early church had expanded from being done primarily by the apostles, to now taking place by deacons, also. This caused the growth of the church to go to a new level, multiplying tremendously. Verse 8 tells us “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.”Acts 8:4-8 mentions the deacon, Phillip, doing the same: “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.” No doubt there was! We who are involved in the Healing Summits believe it is “the right time” for many signs and wonders to occur throughout the world. We realize miracles have never completely stopped, but we also believe there are seasons when they increase dramatically, and feel we are entering one of those seasons. This is why we are doing the summits.  Join us April 4th in Middletown, Ohio, if you can. ( Registration is required  due to a limited seating capacity.) We will pray personally for every person desiring prayer. If you are unable to attend in person, please join us online at Oasiswired.org . Many have been healed while doing so in previous summits. Entire congregations, home groups and families will be watching, agreeing with us and praying for one another. If you let them know at the Oasis Church ( oasiswired.org ) that your church is doing so, they will list your church’s name and address so people in your region can be aware of it. Join your faith with ours for miracles to occur that night, both for yourself and for others. And also, pray with us for the release of this great movement of signs and wonders around the world.  And the following is very important: If you lead a congregation or are associated with a network of churches, consider doing your own healing service that night or later in the month of April. Our desire is multiplication, not one large event!!! I realize that would not leave much time to prepare, but these do not have to be elaborate gatherings. Simply have a time of worship and begin praying for people to receive healings. If you do so, Holy Spirit will honor it.  The month of Nisan (March 30 through April 28) is the Hebrew “month of miracles.” God chose this window of time in which to work profound miracles for Israel, and this was also the month He declared He was “the Lord our Healer” (Exodus 15:26). Obviously Holy Spirit is not limited to this timeframe in order to work miracles, but we can honor what He did and said then, using it as a point of reference to agree for a fresh season of the supernatural.  It is time.  Pray with me: Father, we often think of ourselves as working FOR You, while You think of us as working WITH You. Co-laborers. Partners. Family. We know, of course, that You are in charge, the Ruler of the universe. You are all-powerful, infinitely wise, ever-present, uncompromisingly holy, and eternal. Yet You wanted and created family, sons and daughters filled with Your Spirit and nature, capable of partnering with You. We are truly in awe of this. As we move into the great revival that will bring a billion or more souls into Your family, we are beyond excited to work with You to accomplish this. As Your ambassadors we will release Your authority; as Your evangelists we will declare the good news of Christ; and as Your healing agents we will heal the hurting and set captives free. Just as Christ was moved with compassion and healed the sick, we, His body, are as well; we are passionate to see them healed. We also know miraculous signs must be performed at “the right time,” pointing people to Christ. We believe we have moved into one of earth’s “right times,” and we ask for the release of Holy Spirit’s gifts and power in order to produce these signs. Give us signs and wonders we pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.  Our decree:  We decree that at this right time, we will see an increase of signs and wonders throughout the earth. Watch our video:
