Prayer With Purpose - THIS IS THAT

This is that ...

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came...

Many Jews were confused and marveled, “Whatever can this mean?”

Then Peter standing up raised his voice and began to speak. “These are not drunk as you suppose...but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel...” (Acts 2:16)

This is that... is a resource to reveal, and give light to scripture...by comparing scripture to scripture. Only God can reveal God. Only His Spirit can “guide us into all truth.” (John 16:13)

Separation for Judgment
When evil men rose up against Moses and God’s plan for Israel, God told Moses to separate all the congregation from the wicked.
“Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods. So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.” (Numbers 16:31-33)

Abraham’s nephew Lot, who lived in the depraved city of Sodom, was removed from his home, he and his family, before God’s righteous judgment was released.
“Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.” (Genesis 19:24-25)

Jesus reveals the separation of the End-Days.
“Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matthew 13:41-43)

This is what happens when God shows up!
Separation for The Glory: Intercessory Prayer
One hundred twenty people were praying in the upper room on the day that changed everything.
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-6)

One aspect of this divine utterance is the “keys of the Kingdom of God,” meaning words of administrative authority that bind and loose. Read Matthew 16:18-19, Jeremiah 1:9-10, Isaiah 51:16, Mark 16:14-20.

Why doesn’t all of The Church know this and do it?

Hence, rampant wickedness in our nation … like the stupidity of some cities de-funding the police. Let’s get back in the driver’s seat and let Holy Spirit have His way! The “sword of the Spirit” is our only offensive weapon … “praying always with all prayer …” (Ephesians 6:17-19)

Separation of the Ekklesia
Ekklesia means “the called out ones.” Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go bear fruit …”

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them, and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.’ Therefore, ‘come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.’” (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)

This is what happens when God shows up!
2020 – 2021 The Great Awakening
I am often at the beach looking at the grand and enormous body of water called the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes I can see a wave developing very far from shore coming in. Waves get larger as they come closer to the shore. If those waves and currents below are strong enough, the power of them can easily sink a large ship. There is a great wave of glory approaching the nations; some of its effects are here now. Nothing can stop it.

This past year God has been separating His Church from the world.

That means God has been convicting us of sinful practices that hold back the Holy Spirit from releasing signs, wonders, and miracles. 2020 has required us to be more holy and single-minded to fight the good fight of faith, to “wage a good warfare” contending for the anointing and the Kingdom of God to prevail for The Church, our Constitution, our nation, our President, and our freedoms; so many in the military have suffered and even shed their blood to save this nation. We cannot grow weary and give up for our finest hour has now come!

This is what happens when God shows up!
The Glorious Church and The Angelic Armies of God
Not only are we the generation that will be caught up in the air in a twinkling of an eye to meet Jesus, but we have a responsibility to bring in the lost, for Father is preparing His Son’s wedding feast. “On the third day there was a wedding …” (John 2:1) Selah

We also have the joy of fulfilling this scripture:
“Sit at My right hand till I make Your enemies Your footstool. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:13-14) Through the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we are working with the Greater Armies of Angels who are released now! They are waiting for The Church to release their assignments.

The Church Body is the governing force on the earth, not any political party!

The nations are as a “drop in a bucket” to our great King! Read Isaiah 40:12-23. Our assignments are released as we rule and “reign,” taking our seat in heavenly places in Christ. (Romans 5:17 & Ephesians 2:6) Pull down strongholds, call things that be not as though they were. Subdue every tactic of the enemy. Praying in tongues is required for this. And, tongues will build up your courage! It is a super-weapon that devils flee from!

This is that … which God has waited for …
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”
(1 Peter 2:9-10)

All things are moving toward the return of Jesus Christ.

The Vision: Actually Two

1. While praying on October 20, 2016, I had a vision.
I was attending Billye Brim’s Autumn Assembly on-line. Lynn Hammond gave an anointed teaching and then led everyone into powerful intercession. While praying for the 2016 Presidential Election, God rolled back the natural and let me see into the spiritual. I posted what I saw on Prayer with Purpose.org, - the 11.1.16 Tuesday Bible Study, now called The Library. The nation would vote on 11.8.16. I knew the vision had to do with the election of Donald Trump. I knew it meant that he would win.

Trying to describe the vision into the natural seems restrictive, like trying to tell someone about an exciting chase scene in a movie, but here it is, what I wrote four years ago.

"I saw the U.S. - as a gigantic land and spiritual mass, being slowly lifted up from the earth. The wicked were angry and extending their arms - trying to grab hold of her - to possess her, to stop her ascent into the air. They could not touch her; they could not grab hold to keep her. They could not stop her ascent when she began to rise. God and His might were lifting her up — higher and higher — and then higher and higher again, completely out of their reach!!! The wicked watched and went into extreme anger and torment as the U.S. went out of their reach. They watched in awe, looking up as the U.S. arose from their grasp, under the power of God. The U.S. will prosper and break out in revival from the west to the east like a flood that NO one can prevent or stop.”

2. Eleven Days Later: Interceding For the Election
October 31, 2016
”I saw the nation again, rising up under the power of God. This time I noticed that directly underneath the land mass, there was an enormous multitude of praying people with their arms extended upward, lifting the United States up from evil as God was working through them. Saints, continue to pray for our nation. Don't be moved. The best is yet to come! GOD IS WITH US!”

November 19, 2020
This past week I had prepared a rough draft teaching for “This is that …” But that was subject to change. This morning, around 4:00 am, the Lord reminded me about the vision I saw four years ago. The vision above does not describe the awful blackness of those who were trying to hold onto the United States as it arose out of their hands. I could not tell where the people ended and evil demons started; they seemed to be the same, ugly creatures, and black, deep blackness was all about them and inside them. I still cannot adequately put this into words.

This morning I noticed something. “Why two visions Lord?”
“They represent the election of 2016 and the election of 2020!”
“Lord, I didn’t know that!”

I believe in the second vision there was even more evil, chaos, and blackest black under the outline of the U.S. I thought of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and evil wealthy men.

Something else … The corruption in the Elections, especially Presidential Elections, has been going on for many years. Why were the 2016 election results such a SHOCK to Obama and Clinton? Obama didn’t even appoint several hundred Judges so that Clinton would do it … hmmm. I believe Father God entered into the 2016 Election with a miracle, having Trump votes counted honestly! Well, why wouldn’t He do that now? Father wants this awful corruption exposed, brought into the light for all to see. Roaches in a kitchen are not seen during the day. But at night, hidden in the darkness, they come out.

It’s not a pleasant time we are going through. Father knows that. But remember, we are of that generation who has been taught faith and how to use it! Joshua and the next generation of God’s children had the task of getting rid of evil doers in Canaan, but they knew they were not alone. The previous generation had removed the “Almighty God equation” and died in the wilderness. Exactly what they said would happen. Interesting fact, the 10 men who gave an evil report died of a “plague before the LORD.” Read Numbers 14:26-38 — it’s interesting.

Without faith it is impossible to please the LORD! Well, of course, how would you feel if someone didn’t believe a word you said?

2020 The Year of Great Change
(Read Kenneth Copeland’s Prophetic Word: Click here)
https://www.prayerwithpurpose.org/2020-prophetic-word.html

What is Jesus’ assignment in 2020?
To sanctify and cleanse the church. How? With the washing of water by the word of God.
Why? To present the church to Himself … a Glorious Church. That means a church full of glory — not a church full of worldliness and sin. The glorious church is not to have spots, wrinkles, or any such thing. She should be without blemish. (Ephesians 5:26-27)

The Power and Force of The Church through Intercession
Each intercessor, each day moving in Holy Spirit prayer, is like a battering ram against the gates of hell! Jesus said those strongholds cannot stop us! Our spiritual weapons of warfare are mighty in God. God’s Spirit within each of us are demolishing strongholds of satan! Our weapons are far greater than the atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in World War II.

To have the full impact of that fire power each Intercessor must live a holy life, separated from the world, its opinions, and its evil ways. Hours of news programs will hinder that fire power. Faith comes by hearing, but fear comes by hearing also. The evil report of the ten spies caused the entire nation to weep all night. Fear is an enemy to the power of intercession that changes things! Guard your heart! Remember, an evil report is a declaration that is the opposite of what God has said! That can be very contagious. And if you’re not planting God’s Word in your heart, forget prayer. Your gun is empty!

Remember the vision? What’s lifting the U.S. out of the strongholds of devils? Effective prayer! (James 5:16-18)

2020 The Year of Great Change: The Year of Preparation!
Preparation for what? Company is coming!
Jesus’ earthly ministry was revealed the last three years of His life. That’s when signs, wonders, and miracles, came through a holy vessel without spot, wrinkle, or blemishes.

Jesus is preparing His Body on earth for The Great Outpouring — The Latter Rain! Beyond that is The Great Rapture of The Glorified Church! God’s glory is about to come forth. How? Out of The Glorious Church!

This is that … which requires two …
“Have faith in God.”
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” (Mark 11:22-23)

Breath – Wind – Holy Spirit: Healing!
In the beginning, Father breathed the breath of life into man’s nostrils and man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7) On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came as a sound from heaven, as a mighty rushing wind that came upon the disciples in the upper room and all “were filled and spoke in tongues.”

Filled with what? Power! (Acts 1:8)

That same day, as the disciples went out into the streets preaching the Kingdom of God, three-thousand souls were born again. (Acts Chapter 2) Three thousand people had God’s powerful Spirit enter into them to help them overcome all obstacles and help them fulfill their Kingdom assignments. The Holy Spirit is the Healer for the multitudes, but also, for the disciples.

After all, God’s people need to be healthy!
That means, whatever sickness might come upon them, God was resident in them to heal their body.

You have The Healer in you!
Yes, you can go to the doctor who lives within you for healing. How do you release this power into your body? By saying words that are written in scripture!

“The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit” … when spoken in faith! (Ephesians 6:17)
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue”… your tongue!
When you believe in your heart and speak words of faith, they will become what the scripture says. After all, that is how you and I received salvation! (Romans 10:8-10)

Read the following scriptures out loud. Remember they first came forth out of God who cannot lie.
“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen…” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Healing is the Children’s Bread: Eat!
Healing is the children’s bread (Mt. 15:26). Healing is my bread.
Jesus, You took my infirmities. You bore my sicknesses (Mt. 8:17).
You carried my pains (Isaiah 53:4).
By Your stripes I am healed (Isaiah 53:5).

Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law, having become a curse for me…so that the blessing of Abraham might come upon me… (Galatians 3:13-14)
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Rom. 8:2)
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me. He who raised Christ from the dead will give life to my mortal body through His Spirit who dwells in me. (Romans 8:11) I receive that!

My words are life to you, and health/medicine to all your flesh (Pr. 4:22).
I give you power and authority over all unclean spirits to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease (Mt. 10:1 & Lk. 9:1).
(My) good report (words) makes your bones and joints healthy (Pr. 15:30).
Trusting Me brings health to your flesh and strength to your bones (Pr. 3:8).
(My) pleasant words are sweet to your soul and health to your bones (Pr. 16:24).
I heal all your diseases (Ps. 103:3).
I sent My word and healed you and delivered you from your destructions (Ps.
107:20).

No plague shall come near my dwelling (Ps. 91:10).
I am strong and of good courage. I am not afraid. God is with me. (Joshua 1:9)
I do not worry. I cast all cares onto the Lord. (Mt. 6:31 & 1 Peter 5:7)
He gives (blessings) to His beloved in sleep. (Psalm 127:2)

Your light shall break forth as the morning and your health shall spring forth speedily (Isaiah 58:8).
I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds says the Lord (Jer.30:17).
I will satisfy you with long life (Ps. 91:16).
The years of your life shall be many (Pr. 4:10).

My joy is your strength. A merry heart does good like a medicine (Neh. 8:10; Pr.17:22).
The eyes of the blind shall be opened. The eyes of them that see shall not be dim. The ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. (Isaiah 32:3; 35:5).
With long life I will satisfy you and show you My salvation. (Ps. 91:16)

My faith works through love. (Galatians 5:6)

This is that …
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” (Mark 11:25-26)

Closing Comments
Saints, there’s another realm besides this materialistic world. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will raise anything in your life supernaturally. There’s a glory life that you can live … life in the Spirit.
Take the promises of God and "see" them by faith. See them first in the spirit ... where they do exist, just like God.

“… while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Abraham became the father of many nations before he was a father! (Romans 4:13-25)

The Call of Intercession

The Commission:
Jeremiah was called, meaning he was given an assignment even before he was born to operate as a prophet. A prophet is one who speaks on behalf of God to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth.

“Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.’” (Jeremiah 1:9-10)

To be called means you are called by name and charged with an office or a specific work to accomplish. The importance of Jeremiah’s birth and his acceptance to do the will of God for his nation Israel was extremely important.

Likewise, intercessors are called as God puts forth His hand and touches their mouth to speak and decree words that root out, pull down, destroy, throw down but also to build and to plant His good will in the earth.

Now, let’s look deeper into true intercession, something God is calling multitudes of Christians to move into during these end times.

The 2020 Assignment: The Re-Election of President Trump
Prayer for this election is of vital importance for the continuance of our freedom of speech and the Gospel being preached in our nation and other nations. Just think of the effect our satellites have preaching the Gospel message 24/7 throughout the earth! This President must be re-elected for he not only upholds our Constitutional rights but firmly stands for our Christian rights and for protection of the unborn!!!

Intercession and Tongues
Prayer takes on a significant role when the person praying is filled with the Holy Spirit and speaks in tongues.

Tongues will take you from the natural carnal realm into where God’s Spirit dwells in your spirit. Jesus said, “out of his belly shall flow rivers of water.” When you hit those wells of living water, you are standing in the gap to change earthly circumstances by the authority of the Name of Jesus and the power of God operating within you. Angelic armies are in coalition with us.

This is how we establish God’s Kingdom on earth.

Jesus said, “ … I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:18-19)

What are those keys that unlock or lock up?
They are anointed words of authority coming forth out of your mouth. “Death and life are in the power of your tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)

We could also say to The Church: Death and life are in the power of you praying in tongues!

Passing From One Realm to Another
As you begin praying in tongues, there is a pressing into the spirit realm that will begin to subdue thoughts that are focused on earthly circumstances and allow you to “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”

This is where your tongues are anointed and productive in changing circumstances. “With God all things are possible!” Answers break through from the spirit realm to this earthly realm. Tongues will take you in!

The more you practice praying in tongues, personally or with others, the easier it is to jump in the river and flow with the Holy Spirit in power.

While there, revelations come, secrets become known, gifts are opened up, wisdom and knowledge are released, discerning of spirits, and interpretations of tongues. Interpretation of tongues is like a person who translates one language to another.

But for an Intercessor, much of the time tongues is a heavenly language that is kept private to protect secrets. During times of war messages are often sent by code. Why? It’s a form of communication that the enemy cannot decipher. That limits his plans greatly!

That is why he sowed the lie to the Body of Christ that “tongues are not for today.” Saints, praying in tongues are vitally important in the days we are living in!

This is that … which the power of intercession accomplishes!
“… the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”

November 2020
Saints of God:
Fast and pray much in tongues for the voting in our nation to be done in order with truth and that there be peace in our cities after the election.

“The Anointing”
What is it?
The children of Israel wandering in the desert were given Manna, bread from Heaven, to eat every day. It only lasted one day and could not be stored up. The Word of God is “living Bread which came down from Heaven.” (John 6:51) It is planted into our hearts as we study. The soul, which is the mind, will, and emotions, is continually making contact with a fallen world; therefore, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2) As the children of Israel could not store up Manna, neither is receiving God’s Word a one-time exercise. You eat food everyday so that you can live on this earth. The real you, a spirit born from above, needs Word food. “Give us this day our daily bread.” And remember healing is the children’s bread. Selah

Now, how does bread relate to the anointing?

Jesus Christ
Christ is not the Lord’s last name. The title Christ signifies “The Anointed One” or Messiah.
Definition of anoint: rubbing or pouring olive oil on someone to represent the flow (empowering) of the Holy Spirit.

To anoint is different than the anointing, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38) Isaiah said, “And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” (Isaiah 10:27) The yoke refers to bondage.

Read Luke 4:18-19 and you will see exactly how the anointing destroys yokes. But notice that the first thing Jesus did was preach from God’s Word written in Isaiah Chapter 61. Why? So that faith would come. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17) Jesus, the Word made flesh, was dependent upon the written Word. Interesting isn’t it?

The Body of Christ: The Glorious Church
Jesus Christ moved to Heaven. But His Spirit resides on earth in every Believer. If you are born again and have been baptized in the Holy Spirit (see Acts 19:1-7) then you have the same anointing upon you to destroy yokes, not only on behalf of others but also for your own life.

The fullness of God’s anointing produces “life more abundantly.”

The Apostle John reveals the operation and impact of the anointing: believers are holy and separated to God. “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”
(See 1 John 2:20-27)

The anointing operates or remains alive in you as “you abide in Him.”

The secret to spiritual strength is the inner-man connection to the Spirit of God…through His Word. No deposit, no return. Like the children in the desert had to go and get the Manna each day, God’s Word waits for us to search out the scriptures to receive our nourishment which electrifies the anointing to destroy yokes.

How does a healthy diet produce a healthy athlete to run his race all the way to the finish line? It just does.

This is why the discipline of daily prayer and study is SO vital. What takes place here in private will be seen and felt by you and others the rest of your day! But beware of the thief! You will have to guard your heart about what you watch, what you hear, who you fellowship with, and what you are saying and thinking about during your day. Stay in the praise lane. You can feel a decline in your anointing by a loss of joy.

“You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions." (Hebrews 1:9)

You’re Not the Vine – You’re the Branch
But realize this; the vine cannot bear fruit, only the branch can bear fruit. Jesus is as much dependent upon His church for The Awakening/Revival as we are upon Him. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.”

Do you see the results of going back into the world? Watch out because getting too close to the world will eventually lead to idolatry ... an exaltation of self that produces doubt over Jesus and His Word.

This is how faith crumbles and mountains don’t move.

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:5-7) “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” (Mark 11:23) A faith-filled intercessor has the power of the Sword of the Spirit in their in their mouth…

Praying in Tongues and The Anointing
Those who pray in tongues and stay in tongues experience the direct line into the heart of God. Jesus referred to this as a river, and everyone knows that when you jump into a river you get wet …“out of His heart will flow rivers of living water.” That’s the anointing! John the Baptist said, “… He (Jesus) will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” That’s the anointing!

It abides inward then goes outward to manifest the Kingdom of God on earth. “…for in Him we live and move and have our being ...” (Acts 17:28)

This is that …
which Joel prophesied about the Day of Pentecost.
“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh …” (Joel 2:28)

This is that...

The Plot Thickens
What does this mean? This term is used when a situation is becoming more and more complicated and puzzling.

The contrast of those walking in the light and those living in darkness is becoming more and more obvious. What’s going on? Two things: Father is at work pulling His disobedient children out of worldliness before they are completely consumed by lies and evil and miss the rapture.

The end of the age is here and Jesus’ return in the air is soon. Father is also dealing with sinners.

Who Turned the Light Out?
“But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”
(2 Corinthians 4:4-5)

Definition of Veil: to hide, to cover up, conceal, envelop, keep secret
A person who hears the gospel message being preached and thinks it is absurd nonsense cannot receive conviction of sin.

That’s because their conscience has been defiled, deeply stained by sin. They have been blinded by satan. They cannot SEE or comprehend what Jesus died to give them.

What’s surprising is even people who seemed to have had good sense in the past are being taken over, believing that lies are truth.

We are seeing the parable of the Tares and the Wheat take place before our eyes. See Matthew 13:36-43. That’s exciting because Jesus hints about the rapture in this passage.

As for sinners, intercession is required to pull them out! Remember, someone prayed you in!

July 2020
So get used to it, things are separating; it’s either black or white now so don’t get alarmed and run around sharing the next bizarre story.

The stage is being set for the tribulation.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20-21)
“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” (Daniel 11:32)

We were called to fulfill our purpose in this prophetic season written about in past ages in God’s Word. What a privilege!

1. The Shaking of all Nations: Hebrews 12:25-29
The virus, the rioting, bizarre behavior, lying news programs, anti-Christ Democrats, people who are under satanic dominion, the threat of socialism and the one world coalition, a Presidential election on the horizon … my goodness, “what now Lord?” Are we to withdraw in fear?

Absolutely not!!! We will be “more fervent still!” The Glorious Church is emerging with “healing in her wings” as the Kingdom of God is about to explode on earth in every nation!

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21)

2. Intercession and Revival
Intercession lays track for God to move.

When He made man He gave man authority over all the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28) Although our mighty Father can do anything, He set it up that we are to ask anything in Jesus’ name, and He will do it.
“And I have put My words in your mouth;
I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
That I may plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ” (Isaiah 51:16)

Speak with authority!
Intercessors have great power when they pray in the Holy Spirit. We tap into the river of life. Let’s jump in and let the current move us this way and that. He leads. We follow. This is how we pull down evil, how we plant the heavens, how revival comes and is birthed.

3. Preparation
*Simeon, a just and devout man, was waiting for the Consolation of Israel and the Holy Spirit was upon him when Jesus was brought to the Temple at eight days old. Simeon rejoiced and prophesied over the Holy Child.
*Anna the prophetess, who had not departed the temple for eighty-four years but served God with fastings and prayer night and day, came in at the same hour Simeon was holding Jesus giving thanks to God. She also gave thanks to the Lord and spoke of Jesus to all those that were there. (See Luke 2:25-38)
*We, The Body of Christ, are praying prayers of preparation for Jesus’ return in the air. But just before that great and awesome day, there must come the great awakening/revival in all the nations. We are now in its first stages of progress.

As this “gospel of the Kingdom of God” is being preached in all the nations, which must include signs, wonders, and miracles, it is breaking through demonic strongholds of lies and witchcraft in the heavenlies so that even the wicked lost can “HEAR” and understand what Jesus did on the cross and experience the overpowering love of God for them. This brings repentance of sin and total surrender of self so that they can be born again.

Intercession is vital!

This is that…which comes before the rapture!
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)

This is that ...

The Glass

2020
Many prophetic words have come forth about this year. Some have made mention to 20/20 vision: that Believers will have spiritual insight, being able to SEE and understand what is taking place in the unseen realm, which affects the natural realm.

Now let’s pretend that you are sitting at a table and before you is a glass of water. The water line is in the middle of the glass. How do you SEE it? Is it half full? Or would you say no, the glass is half empty!

The Kingdom of God
Let’s look at some examples of how Believers SEE earthly circumstances and the results that follow.

Jesus’ Ministry … He didn’t SEE sickness and disease; He saw the multitudes healed! “Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.” (Matthew 15:30)

If Jesus was focused on the horrible conditions of the “great multitudes” He would not have had faith to heal. “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.” (John 5:19)

This is very important for The Church to remember. To walk and live in the Spirit, Galatians 5:25, we must go inward and SEE what God says. Jesus desires His Body to do the greater works! (John 14:12)

Elisha and his servant…The King of Syria was making war with Israel. “When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.

“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this army with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.” (2 Kings 6:15-20) Elisha had NO fear because he was in the Spirit and saw the armies of the Lord encamped about them.

You also have mighty angels beside you.
“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.” (Psalm 34:7 and also Psalm 91:9-13) SEE that!

The Twelve Spies… God told Moses to send out one leader from each tribe to spy out the land that God was giving them. Ten leaders said they could not take the land. “… the people are too strong, the cities are fortified, and the giants live there.” Caleb and Joshua saw the same circumstances but believed what God said. They replied, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Faith is bold and takes possession of what God has promised.

Sadly, the ten leaders transferred their fear and unbelief to two million people who then wept all night. They spoke what they saw in their hearts: “... we will fall by the sword!” (Numbers Chapter 13 & 14)

Secrets of The Kingdom of God
You cannot speak boldly what you cannot SEE.
Faith in God/His Word produces vision and boldness in the inner man.
If you can't SEE it it is because you are in doubt/fear.
Faith requirement: meditate on His promise day and night. (Joshua 1:8-9)
Satan desires to steal all traces of the Word of God from you, The Church, and the earth!
Satan’s job is to limit and keep you in your mind and natural senses. “This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. (James 3:15)
Your Kingdom inheritance comes in proportion to your knowledge and acting on who God says you are.
You must know/SEE who you are…in Christ!
We are written epistles! (2 Corinthians 3:2-3)
Holy Spirit is waiting for your faith-filled words…words that carry what you SEE, whatsoever you desire.
Grace Knowledge or Revelation Knowledge comes from the Father so we can act on it.
Job said, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job saw it inside first…
Abraham did not see his aged body, but believed that what God had promised He was able also to perform. (Romans 4:21) He saw himself the "father of many nations!"
You have to SEE it before you can speak it. The “abundant life” is in you.
Jesus endured the cross, by looking at “the joy that was set before Him.” (Hebrews 12:2) Jesus SAW His resurrection. Jesus saw you and me born again!
You control your world. Say to the mountain … Mark 11:22-23
Difficult times are here but “Faith is the VICTORY that overcomes the world.” (1 John 5:4) But faith requires you SEE the end result before you speak it! (Mark 11:23)
God saw these “perilous times” before the foundation of the world and ordained that you and I would be born in this time to establish His Word and His Kingdom: to bring in the lost before Jesus’ return in the air! Can you SEE that?

Is the glass half empty?
Are you negative and without hope? You don’t know who you are in Christ or the power of the Holy Spirit within you. Turn off the News and get in the Word of God! Your hopelessness infects The Body. (Ephesians 4:14-32)

Do you see the glass half full?
Caleb and Joshua SAW God with them and released their faith! “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” How you SEE is a reflection of what you’re seeing, hearing, and thinking about day and night!

When Caleb and Joshua were spying out the land they must have been so excited, “This good land belongs to us!

This is That … The Kingdom of God
“…on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:18-19)
God will not do what He told YOU to do first!

Take the land, Saints.
The Power of Intercession must go out first… and we have an election to take now for this President and for our great nation!

THE BOX
God has made us, first of all, a spirit born from above.
Second, He has given us a soul: a mind, will, emotions, intellect, and memories.
Lastly, He made a magnificent thing we call a body, which is our earth suit, and the temple of His Holy Spirit.

In my garage is a box full of things that carry memories. The mind is a good example of a box. In that box we have good and bad memories, things we have learned, experiences we have had. Things we watch, listen to, associate with, think about, conversations we have, and so on are all being placed into the box … your mind.

The End Days Just Before the Return of Jesus
God spoke to Daniel about 200 B.C.
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Daniel 12:4)

Paul wrote to Timothy about the end days.
“But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].
(2 Timothy 3:1 AMPC)

Information Overload?
Knowledge increasing, times of great stress and trouble …
How are you doing? Are you sleeping well every night? Are you remaining in peace throughout your day? Are you in fear, anxious about your family and the virus, the United States government, the economy… and so on?

Remember the box?
If you’re spending hours watching the news, reading things online, constantly talking about all that’s going on, you are taking in a lot of information that will cause anxiety, stress, and hopelessness. Most likely faith in God is diminishing. Remember, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7)

Jesus taught His disciples the most important parable, “The Sower Sows the Word.” (Mark 4:10-32) Then Jesus said, “Take heed what you hear…” Why? Because what is coming into your ears will get down into your spirit-man and either increase your faith or steal your faith. If you are listening to something that is causing fear or anxiety to come upon you, stop what you’re listening to. Joy and peace are the first fruits of your spirit to go dim because your inner light is going dark. Take control!

Cares and the Unproductive Church
“Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:18-19)
Vines Dictionary - Cares: anxiety, distracting care, taking thought

Notice Jesus said, “cares entering in.”
That means they’re getting into your heart (spirit) where God’s Word is stored. Anxiety and fear begin to choke scripture. Other definitions for choke are to suffocate, smother, gag, asphyxiate, quench, and strangulate! Monitor your feelings. Sadness is a sign of loss …

So often scripture tells the Believer to guard his heart.
Proverbs 4:20-27 should be studied often in our day. “Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.” One of those life resources from The Word that flow into you is healing/medicine to all your flesh.

But if cares and desires for other things are choking God’s Word, it is restricting “health to all your flesh” like a kink in a hose. Hours of hearing negative words at night will probably erase the fruitfulness of your Bible Study earlier that day. “Take heed what you hear.” Both faith and fear come by hearing.

Don’t ever go to bed loaded down with worry, fear, and cares. Cast your cares by giving them to the LORD. Go to sleep on a scripture. Listen to good faith teaching for an hour before you go to sleep. “Do not worry!” (Matthew 6:24-34)

EMPTY YOUR BOX OF CARES … OFTEN!
Constant fear will open the door to satan because he is the author of it. If you are having difficulty casting cares to the Lord, make it a practice three times a day to give them to Jesus. Copy these scriptures on a card and read them out loud.

*“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith…”
(2 Peter 5:6-9)
*“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

This is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith. (1 John 5:4)
Answered prayer is dependant on faith.
No Word? No Faith! No faith? No fruit from God’s anointed Word!

You are so important!
You being fruitful affects me and the whole Body of Christ.
And we, the Glorious Church, are on assignment to bring in souls!

This is that … which is smart to practice!
*“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)
Include this scripture with the other two on your card.

Praise Him! ... and the enemy will flee!

The Glorious Church and The Footstool

The Preceding Days Before the Great Tribulation:
Do not fear!
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:17-19)

What is perfected love? God is love.
Faith works through love.
Definition of perfected: being entirely without fault or defect; flawless; faithfully reproducing the original; satisfying all requirements; corresponding to an ideal standard
What does perfected love produce? Boldness (courage) in the day of judgment!
Faith works through perfect love to cast out fear and worry. Father protected the children of Israel from all ten plagues that came on the Egyptians. He certainly is protecting His Church today.
How do God’s people get perfected love?
Refuse to fear! Love God with all your heart. Walk by faith in God in His Word…just like Jesus did. As He is, so are we (now), in this world. (See Ephesians 2:6)

The Mature Believer:
1. Knows who they are in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
2. Has developed the habit of “taking every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5)
3. Has developed their skills in spiritual warfare. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Times of Judgment
“For our transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
In transgressing and lying against the Lord,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
He saw that there was no man,
And wondered that there was no intercessor;
Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.” (Isaiah 59:12-16)

Jesus Christ: Intercessor!
"It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." (Romans 8:34)

The Glorious Church: Intercessor
God spoke through the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel:
“So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. (Ezekiel 22:30)

Jesus said, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations?’” Today, The Church with all of its diversities of activities and differences of ministries is standing in the gap for the nations. Prayer is the sustaining force of power. Prayer is the very foundation of every ministry, for without prayer there can be no success. “Without Me you can do nothing.” The branch cannot bear fruit of itself.

The Power of Intercession…The Holy Spirit!
Intercessors are moving forward with great authority, binding and loosing, praying for leaders and the lost to establish the Kingdom of God in every nation.

This army is equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit, skilled in praying in tongues, and moving together in the Word of God. Intercession lays track for the other ministries to advance, and all of us are moving forward with great zeal now to restore the United States to its Christian roots under our godly President and advance the day of Jesus Christ’s return! This is the hidden scheme behind the pandemic, to stop the Kingdom of God from advancing.

Today, more intercessors are needed throughout the nations. Let’s pray them in!

April 2020: Making His Enemies His Footstool
“The LORD said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.’” (Hebrews 1:13) How is He going to do that?

The Father is speaking to His Son of the end-days Glorious Church that comes forth as the great army of the LORD, no longer pew warmers satisfied to eat baby food every Sunday, that have no idea of their authority or how to use it.

Imagine your city police force driving around all day in their cars but never using their weapons and not arresting evil doers of any crimes. Would society suffer? Would lawlessness and chaos increase there? Should their immoral behavior influence The Church and silence Pastors from teaching God's Word?

When was the last time your Pastor taught 1 Corinthians 5:11 from the pulpit?

Not being taught the scriptures, babies have no idea what Jesus actually accomplished through His suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension.

Vines Dictionary - Footstool: under a foot; a footstool was used by a conquering king to place his foot on the neck of the conquered, i.e. those under his total dominion. (see Joshua 10:24)

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” (Galatians 3:13-14)

“(Christ) …having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Colossians 2:14-15)

“… Jesus Christ who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.” (1 Peter 3:22)

"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death." (Revelation 1:18)

Jesus already dealt with the enemy.
Why does The Church have to deal with him?

Father wants His creation to fulfill His original intent to take dominion over the earth! “Let Us make man in Our image, according to our likeness: let them have dominion over all the earth. Be fruitful…fill the earth and subdue it…have dominion…” (See Genesis 1:26-28)

The first Adam was given authority over the earth but failed to dominate the snake, the tempter. When he sinned, his authority over the earth was transferred to satan. (See 1 Corinthians 15:20-58)

The last Adam (Jesus Christ) got authority back …but only for those who are “in Him.” Through Jesus, and through His name, we enforce the Kingdom of God on earth. Jesus’ prayer, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven,” is being accomplished in these end days! (Matthew 6:10)

What the fight over this planet is all about:
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)

Notice: “then the end will come.”

The gospel of the kingdom is not only the salvation message but includes signs, wonders, and miracles…just like Jesus brought forth. “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38)

What a privilege to be born into the last generation of His Church! Each member of Christ's Body is vitally important. Fulfill your calling Saints!

This is that…
which will keep you from the Great Tribulation
“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.” (1Timothy 4:1-2)

March 2020
“God, where are you?”

Where are you, My child?
Your level of faith in Me has slipped dangerously low because you glance at a scripture in the morning and off you rush to social media, Fox News, or other things to find out what’s going on in the world. How many hours do you spend seeking other things?

Your question to Me reveals that your spirit-man is hungry for scripture. A flippant prayer here and there is not fellowship with Me. You’re not connecting with Me because your affections are for other things. And why aren’t you calling Me Father anymore?

I require FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE, NOT LAST PLACE.
“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” (Revelation 2:4)

FEAR REPLACES FAITH
Your question and the fear you have in your heart about the virus situation shows just how far you are slipping backward into the pull of the world. The cares of this world will close in on your inner man and suffocate The Word and “it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:13-20) That’s why you’re anxious and worried and can’t sleep at night. Over and over I hear your thoughts asking where I am and how you don’t understand what is going on.

Let Me ask you this, why has your affection changed toward Me?
Don’t you realize you cannot fulfill your purpose without Me?
Don’t you remember John 15:5?
Without Me, The Word, you can do nothing! There are many unwanted repercussions that can result from this behavior.

You are wondering about why you are not seeing My hand over this land. That’s because you are drifting away from Me, and have been for a long time. You would have known what I am doing if you would study and pray in tongues in the Holy Spirit. That’s where I am ... in your heart.

You continually ignore My call to come to Me.
“…Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)

Because you’re too busy for Me, your calling/assignment has terribly declined, leaving a vacancy in the grand design of the Kingdom of God on earth. (See Ephesians 4:16)

No one can take your place that I have called you to. All the promises of God are yours, but they are dormant without faith, and faith comes from hearing God’s Word. (Romans 10:17) Without God’s Word, your heart will become hardened and over time bring you into total unbelief and may even affect your eternal salvation. (Hebrews 6:4-6)

And if you persist in going back into the world, you won’t be ready for the rapture. "TEKEL -- you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.”
(Daniel 5:27)

Read through these Holy Scriptures and let the Word of God convict you to repentance and change your ways.

Then meditate on them and the Who I Am Scriptures.

Hebrews 12:25-29 (NKJV)
“See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.’ Now this, ‘Yet once more,’ indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.”

Hebrews 2:1-4 (NKJV)
“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?”

Hebrews 10:38 (NKJV)
“Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”

Mark 4:23-24 (NKJV)
“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

Joshua 1:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

1 John 4:18 (NKJV)
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”

Hebrews 3:7-14 (NKJV)
“Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
‘Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, “They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.”
So I swore in My wrath,
“They shall not enter My rest.” ’ ”

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end …”

This is that…which is “where God is.”
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)

What about the virus?
Jesus says:
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life…Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (See Matthew 6:25-34)

2020 - End Days Requirement: Praying in Tongues Daily!
“But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.”

“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 17-21)
