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)

“Lord, what about 2023?”
“The Dispensation”

 
Vines Dictionary - Dispensation:
The arrangement or administration by God, by which in the fullness of times (or seasons), God will sum up all things in the heavens and on earth in Christ.”
 
“In Him we have redemption through His blood…that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.” 
(See Ephesians 1:7-11)
 
This dispensation will end after the rapture of His church and the seventh year of tribulation, when Jesus returns to establish His thousand year reign on earth.
 
The Dispensation of the Fullness of the Times
When I was a child the earth was a different place. I walked to my elementary school down a country road with woods on both sides without any fear. These days, caution is the word, no matter where you live or where you go. Crime is up throughout our cities in this nation.
 
“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12) “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons…” (1Timothy 4:1)
 
So, be aware of what’s happening, take precautions, but do not fear.
Pray for people everywhere you go. Pray every day for all law enforcement in your city/county to be kept safe. I like to make a quick prayer for them before going to bed every night.
 
2023: Intercession to Bring in The Harvest
“Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; For the winepress is full, the vats overflow—for their wickedness is great.” (Joel 3:13)
“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and 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)
“He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.” (Proverbs 10:5)
 
2023 Prophecy Fulfilled
Two thousand years ago, Jesus said one generation would see a horrific change in society. (Matthew 24:34) We have entered into those times of tribulation but also the days of the great harvest of the earth! Time is short. Be bold everywhere you go to share Jesus. Start a conversation. Ask people, “Are you born again?”
 
One Generation: Jesus is coming!
The population of earth in the 1950’s was about 4 billion people. That has now doubled to 8 billion…in one generation!
 
A good example of the fullness of times is when a pregnant woman comes into her ninth month of pregnancy. The closer she gets to the birth date, the more irritable and uncomfortable the mother becomes. The baby has now grown and the weight is causing much pressure. That pressure is felt by everyone!
 
Once again, I think back to my childhood. I remember, as a preteen, my mother asking me to walk to the store and buy a loaf of bread. We lived in the country. My mother never worried about my safety. These days I have had to tell my family to be aware of where they are going. Think about where you are hiking.
 
As these end days come closer to the rapture of His Body, we remain fervent to the call we received years ago: “Bring in the harvest!”
 
But be watching. Jesus could come at any time.

The Power of the Latter Rain

 
“When Ehud was dead, the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth Hagoyim.” (Judges 4:1-2)
 
The result was that the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.
 
Deborah, a Prophetess, and Judge, was a military leader in Israel. She sent for Barak to deploy ten thousand troops against Sisera, commander of the Canaanite armies of King Jabin who came to destroy Israel. Deborah declared to Barak, “The Lord has delivered Sisera into your hand.” The battle raged until all the Canaanite army fell by the sword, but Sisera fled to the tent of Jael, wife of Heber. She invited him in, gave him milk to drink, and a place to sleep.
 
“Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. So on that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan in the presence of the children of Israel” (See Judges 4:21-24)
 
In Judges, Chapter Five, Deborah and Barak sang a song of triumph. Verses 24-31 tell of the boldness of Jael and ends with: “So the land had rest for forty years.”
 
What does this story have to do with the power of the latter rain?
 
Intercession
We see in this story God’s hand of judgment coming on His nation for turning their back on Him to commit evil. We could also put it this way: when God pulls back His hand of protection on a nation, hell will fill the void with wickedness. “How far Lord, how long O Lord, will this flood of evil continue?”
 
Perhaps the rapture will come soon and He will remove His church. We don’t really know when. God doesn’t always share everything, not even to His prophets. But, we do know His return is in our generation. (Matthew 24:34) That clock started clicking when Israel became a nation in May 1948.
 
One thing is certain: Prayers of intercession are a daily requirement. God wants souls to come into His Kingdom. There seems to be an emphasis on the word “hurry.” Prayers for the lost can be uttered almost anywhere and at anytime. Many of us remember well the scriptures in 1 Timothy 2:1-7 to pray for all men because God wants all men/women to be saved!
 
What has intercession got to do with these stories from the Old Testament?
  1. Israel did evil in the sight of God. They left their first love. They stopped having fellowship with him. They sought worldly ways. They degraded themselves and began worshiping other gods.
  2. The Lord turned His nation Israel over to an evil Canaanite leader.
  3. Hardship brought humility and acknowledgement of sin.
  4. God used a Prophetess who was a Judge and military leader.
  5. God brought deliverance by the armies of Barak.
  6. God used a very bold, anointed wife of a soldier to kill an evil leader with a peg and hammer.
  7. Israel had peace for forty years!!!
 
We know that the Prophetess spent much time in prayer and intercession for her nation. You could not speak for God without communing with Him always. And I also think the wife of the soldier must have spent much time in prayer for her husband’s safety. Certainly we can assume that when she carried the peg and hammer in her hand, as she quietly got close to Sisera, that she was inwardly calling upon God for His help.
 
This reminds me ... what was David thinking inwardly as he went toward the ten- foot-giant Goliath. You can’t have strong faith without prayer! He was fulfilling the words of his own mouth to take Israel’s enemy down!
 
All these intercessors had an inward power flowing in them. We, as born-again children of God, have been given His Holy Spirit and His power of tongues to tear down strongholds and release the greatest awakening the earth has ever seen!

The importance of fulfilling our assignment can also be historic because of earth’s time clock!
 
As we take our seat of dominion in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus to cast out devils and release the Kingdom of God’s mighty angelic armies, we are fulfilling Jesus’ assignment to build His church! (Matthew 16:17-19)
 
Since so many women are on the front lines interceding, let’s remember often the two women who rose up with great courage and boldness to intercede and save their nation: Deborah and Jael.
 
The power of the latter rain on earth is in you!
Whatever He tells you to do…do it! The Acts are still being recorded….

“Lord, what about 2023?”
 
“Enforce Righteousness!”

“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) Who is set over the nations?
 
That scripture had great impact on me many years ago and still does. We can see that God is talking about words, His anointed Words that change nations and kingdoms. How can we have anointed words that change nations? Spend time in the Word every morning, pray in tongues and be led by the God that made the universe. Faith is the foundation that produces change. It’s the unseen that changes what is seen. (1 John 5:4)
 
In my last email I used an example of prayers that change things: it’s like getting in a roller coaster car, sitting down, and letting the Spirit of God take you where there are demonic strongholds that need to be cast out. The voice of your spirit-man with Holy Spirit knows what to do and where to go. It’s wonderful!  
 
One morning years ago, I was very discouraged about the politics in California. I read the scriptures in Isaiah 40:3-11.
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight
and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 40:3-5) That verse started Prayer with Purpose in 2011.
 

So how do we enforce righteousness?
We cannot truly enforce righteousness unless we know who we are in Christ. You can download these scriptures on the PWP website. Speak and meditate on them to drop them into your spirit. This is vitally important, Saints. https://www.prayerwithpurpose.org/who-you-are-in-christ-scriptures.html
 

You’re Not of the World
So don’t participate in all the bad news. If that dominates your thoughts day and night, it will steal your faith and hope, and make you an ineffective prayer with no joy!
 
Choose daily to be separated from the sins all around us and seek His face. Limit your time with current events. We know from the Old Testament, when Israel turned its back on Almighty God, Almighty God brought judgment and hardship by allowing enemy forces to come in. Proud, unsaved sinners need to be humble to give their lives to Jesus. Getting the harvest in is our number one priority.
 

The Righteousness of Intercession and Tongues
What is Intercession? It means to make a petition or intercede on behalf of another. That’s good but additional power is needed. Holy Spirit led intercession gets the job done! It’s similar to a baseball game when a batter gets up to home plate, swings the bat and hits the ball out of the park. He gets a home run. Well, Holy Spirit in the Believer knows how to get a home run! We need Him to win our race! We cannot bring in this huge end-time harvest on our own. He guides us in effectual praying. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16)
  
Praying in tongues will release Holy Spirit power into the unseen higher realms (heavenlies) to cast out devils against the gospel. Many devils are there by the permission of those children and adults who have been trained in witchcraft and sorcery by Harry Potter and similar books for decades. Far greater in power is the glorious Spirit-filled Church who is seated in heavenly places in Christ that can produce God’s order, the gospel, to our cities. Only the Ekklesia, the called- out ones, can arrest, bind and cast devils out in Jesus’ name! (Ephesians 2:6)
 
We are divine beings, here on a timed temporary assignment that is getting shorter! We have an end-of-day’s purpose to “to destroy and throw down, to build and to plant, to make the crooked places straight and rough places smooth.” Tongues will embolden us and take us into higher realms of authority so that we can remove the wickedness in the heavens over our cities to set the captives free to hear the gospel. And, tornados should never be allowed to destroy cities in our nation!
 

The Fallacy of Fear
Many Believers are standing still because they lack knowledge of scripture or are too timid to cast out devils. That’s usually a result of not praying in tongues and not knowing their identity in Christ.
 
The indwelling Holy Spirit and God’s Word inside us opens up direction and vision as we move and live in two victorious realms; “I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…and they shall prophecy.” (Acts 2:17) If you move in the power of Holy Spirit, the spirit of fear will fear you and flee. This power of authority is the two voices as one.
 

The Builder of the Church
“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and 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) In Matthew 18:18 these words are given to all the disciples.
 

Keys: Words
“Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.”
“Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
 

Remember who you are!
You are the Sheriff in your territory and the weapons of your warfare are not physical because your enemy is not physical. They are demonic spirit beings that Jesus Christ has already stripped in hell. They take advantage of the ignorant. Read Colossians 2:14-15 often.
 
Jesus gives us His keys of His Kingdom. Where are they? Can you see them? No, His keys are word-weapons coming out of your mouth. They are anointed words of Spirit/spirit! Two beings are required to pull the trigger.
 

The Time of the Church’s Rapture
“And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)

This is that…
April 2023

 
TIME
Nearly every time I look at the clock I’m surprised. I often say, “Wow, it’s later than I thought it was.”
 
It seems as though time has been speeded up. This alone can cause pressure, not being able to get everything done that we used to do in a day. Someone said that’s just because you’re getting older, but I don’t think so. I think the whole planet is getting ready for a change. Jesus mentioned this when speaking of the end of the last days. “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” (Matthew 24:22)
 
When the calendar turned to January 2020, to me it was like everything normal was removed as things went wild. The pandemic hit every nation on earth hard, which brought some nation’s economies to a screeching halt. Our nation used the pandemic as an excuse to shut down the church. Then some democrat-run states continued to exercise control, even saying that singing in church was not allowed. At the same time, other kinds of facilities were open to the public. This year, things continue to go wild as school boards say they have the right to inform and influence children in choosing the gender they want to be. Teachers say parents cannot influence their students in what decision they decide to make.
 
We could go on and on about the rise of debauchery being promoted to kids in public schools while parents know nothing of what their kids are being taught. The end-days church has been given a mandate to stand up and fight the good fight of faith. All these things, and so much more, reveal the time of Jesus’ return may be sooner than we think.
 
“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2)
 
“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.  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 24:12-14)
 
This “good news” of the Kingdom of God must be preached throughout the world with signs following. After Jesus went preaching and teaching, God’s Kingdom was revealed by demonstrations of healings, signs and wonders, like multiplying two fish and five loaves of bread which fed five thousand men.
(Matthew 14:13:21)
 

The Importance of Prayer
“Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” (Luke 6:12) Jesus spent this night praying and the following day He went out to choose the twelve disciples. Jesus prayed often. He was always with His Father.
 

2023
The Importance of Intercession, Tongues, and Authority

Intercession is your voice releasing what you have inside of you. This is how Holy Spirit joined to your spirit can move mountains. Getting up into the higher realms of the Spirit will reveal those places of demonic strongholds that need to be blasted with power, demolished, and cast out. I almost want to compare this to getting on a roller coaster. You get in your seat, begin to pray in tongues and the car starts to move. As you get going, excitement builds and you hear yourself change with an increase of power and authority as words binding the enemy come forth. Now you’re moving with greater speed as the anointing is charging your batteries and power words are blasting devils out! Tongues, those heavenly fire bullets are flying out of your mouth as you’re hitting different demonic fortresses! Words of dominion, back and forth between English and tongues are sent out like military rockets that bring disarray to separate then bind evil beings to get cast out and locked up! You are being led along by the Holy Spirit within you. What a ride!
 
Intercession has a magnificent purpose for God’s vessel who lives in two realms of earth. Although you are born of a woman, you also are born again of God’s Spirit. You carry the One who made the earth…inside you.

Remember: Matthew 16:18-19 is your Sheriff's badge!
 
In the beginning, God’s Spirit didn’t do anything until Father spoke. Your Father wants you to be like Him! Father has given you full authority in two realms of influence…the earthly realm and the spirit realm. You go into the spirit-realm to release the Kingdom of Almighty God on earth!
 
This is God’s will and this is God’s purpose! As no one on earth has your thumb print, no one else on earth has your voice print or your location or your calling to fulfill. If you are not engaged in intercessory prayers often (daily is good), you leave a vacancy that demons desire to fill with debauchery.
 

Jesus said of our day that it would be like Noah’s time.
“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” (Genesis 6:5-6)
  
The Lord knows very well how we grieve over our nation and what is happening in our cities. We want to go home! But we have a purpose that is exceedingly important now: Bring in the lost! Part of bringing in the lost is first cleansing the heavens over our cities so that the lost on earth can hear and understand what Jesus did for them and get born again. All the churches and all the ministries have a mandate on them of extreme importance. As time moves ahead, the earth begins to have pressure like a woman beginning to have painful labor pains. Intercessory prayer can relieve that pressure. Put God’s Word first place in your life, pray much in tongues, guard what you hear, cast all cares onto the Lord and remember who you are in Christ. Keep looking up and fight the good fight of faith!
 
And now, once again, I looked at my clock.
“Wow, it’s later than I thought.”

“Lord, what about 2023?”

 
The Soldier
The Athlete
The Farmer

Paul writes to Timothy telling him to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus: Soldier, do not entangle yourself with the affairs of life. Athlete, compete according to the rules to win your race. Farmer, work hard and be first to partake of the crops; after all what the farmer plants he gets to eat first. The Book of Timothy continues on to admonish all those in Christ to present yourself a worker who rightly divides the word of truth, sanctified and useful for the Master’s work. Why? Because of what’s ahead:
 
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”  (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
 
Why?
Because denying the power of God is to deny the Holy Spirit of God who is at work through the Body to enforce the Kingdom of God on earth to heal the sick, cast out devils, and raise the dead!
 
“But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (See 2 Timothy Chapter 3)
 
Paul continues to encourage Timothy and reveal the future:
“I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:1-5)
 
If there’s one word that keeps coming up to me in these scriptures it’s “separation.” And that’s not always easy to do, but necessary. The bottom line in making decisions as to who you will continue to have close fellowship with when they are no longer on the same page with you is this: just how important is God’s Word in your life? How much are you willing to compromise the Gospel for? How much compromise or silence are you willing to embrace for the sake of remaining quiet? If close bonds with certain others continually leave you feeling a loss of joy after being with them, it may be time to “from such turn away.”  
 
If this seems harsh, think about Jesus. His mother and brothers wanted Him to stop preaching and come outside so they could rebuke Him. What was His response to His family?
 
“While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, ‘Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.
“But He answered and said to the one who told Him, ‘Who is My mother and who are My brothers? And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:46-50)
 
The Soldier, the Athlete, the Farmer were all “faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” (2 Timothy 2:2) Each one was one hundred percent committed to fulfilling their assignment. Each one gave it their all without compromise. These are good examples but do not compare with Jesus’ commitment, all the way to the end. If He had been pulled away…where would you and I be today???

Guard your heart, guard your anointing.
 
The End of the End Days
Matthew Chapter 24 describes times of great tribulation coming upon one generation. Jesus describes these days as being like the days of Noah, which were exceedingly wicked, so much so that God our Father was sorry He had made man. What debauchery! (Genesis 6:6) Are we not seeing this? What are we to do?
 
Remember who you are in Christ! Pray at least 30 minutes in tongues every morning. Study scripture. Jesus’ return could be any day. That means stay united in Him and let not your heart become weary that you let go of your assignment to intercede for the lost.
 
The Intercessors have great power and authority to cast devils out as they unite in heavenly places over every city, every county, every state. This is where we are seated together in the power of the Holy Spirit. And frankly, I don’t think we can have that fullness without praying in tongues. We all need to step up our time in the Spirit now. Blessed is the man who Jesus finds doing his job when He returns in the air to remove His Body.
 
Remember, the soldier had to press through his fear of death to take the land from the enemy. He was driven to accomplish his assignment no matter what the cost! The athlete, as he was running the last lap, was tired, hurting and weary, but he could see and hear his coach cheering him on, “Keep going, you can do this, do not give up, don’t stop now. You will win this race and receive the victor’s crown!” The farmer had great faith through many storms, believing that what he planted, fertilized, and cared for would yield an amazing harvest.

Saints, Jesus is with us. Do not fear. Feed on God’s Word. Continue to intercede and pray more in tongues. The victory line is just ahead...
 
Jesus is there!

Ephesians: The Handbook for Intercessors
I love Ephesians! Here we see who we are in Christ. You are a spirit, you have a soul, you live in a body. Remembering this fact will bring clarity to the many verses that go deep into the hidden treasures of this book and a life separated to Jesus.
 
I felt led to highlight some verses that I believe speak to and about the Intercessor. Notice how often scriptures mention “the heavenly places in Christ.” This is where an Intercessor, by the spirit, does their work for the Kingdom! What takes place within you is crucial for those ministries that have boots on the ground.
 
This is interesting: Jesus calls us to make intercession for others while “He always lives to make intercession for us.” (Hebrews 7:25) That’s Kingdom protection!
 
1. Ephesians 1:3-5
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will…”
1.a  As we are praying before God’s throne for the lost, which includes the wicked in government places, we are being blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. A spiritual transaction of renewal takes place which helps us to remain holy and separated from a fallen world. Fulfilling the purpose of intercession is most important now for the revival of the end time.  
 
2. Ephesians 1:10-11
“…that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will…
2.a  We are predestined to fulfill the purpose of His will. While we are fulfilling God’s purpose in prayer, all things are working for our good as we look for the return of our Savior before the Great Tribulation that’s coming.
 
3. Ephesians 1:17-23
“… that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”
3.a  If you have not memorized this prayer, you should.
That is how you deposit what is written in the Book into your spirit. This will empower your words. We are to enforce Kingdom authority upon enemies of the Gospel. Since you are in Jesus, you are seated in heavenly places far above all principality and power. That means every spirit-filled tongue talking Christian is responsible to be sheriff over their jurisdiction!  “The weapons of our warfare” are for prayer enforcement. See 2 Corinthians 10:1-6.
 
4. Ephesians 2:6
“… and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus…
4.a  He has made all of His Body to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus to rule and to reign, even when you’re alone in your prayer closet. The Kingdom of God is within you and me. It is released as we intercede over our cities, our states, and our nation. Intercession has great power when released by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you! The scripture below deals with this.
 
5. “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:19-22)
 
6. Ephesians 3:10-12
“… to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.”
6.a Here Paul continues to reveal the dispensation of the grace of God or “who we are in Christ.” He received this mystery by revelation.
 
Those who pray have this promise:
“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.”
 
7. Ephesians 5:18
“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit…”
7.a Chapters 4 and 5 are rules for Christians to live holy lives. Stress and anxiety are causes for the increase in alcoholism in our nation. Paul says to the church, “be filled with the Spirit!” That happens by praying in tongues throughout your day. When pressured with stress, cast all cares onto the Lord and start praying in tongues! Remember, the anointing is to be protected for it is necessary for powerful intercession.
 
8. Ephesians 5:25-27
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”
8.a We are to be sanctified and washed with the “water of the Word” every day. Our relationship with Jesus is our highest priority in end times. His job is to present us, a glorious church…to Himself when He returns in the air to take us home.
 
9. Ephesians 6:10-19
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” See verses 14-18.
9.a Verse 18 reveals the reason for the armor: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful…
 
Being watchful or being alert to things that come to steal your position is your responsibility. In the military, soldiers guard the perimeter of the camp day and night against attack. Guard your heart.
 
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive…” (John 7:38-39)

“Lord, what about 2023?”

 
I was talking with someone the other morning about where we are on God’s calendar and the many awful things that have been allowed in our nation. The last two years are beyond what I could have imagined to take place.
 
During our discussion I drew a picture of where I think we are on God’s calendar. I drew a picture of a funnel which toward the bottom gets smaller and smaller and smaller. A little ways from the bottom pinpoint of the funnel I scribbled a little dark circle. I said the dark mark represents earth. This is where I think we are on God’s calendar.
 
The picture of the funnel reminded me of a birth canal.
 
As the baby is getting closer to the time of delivery, the mother and the baby have no control over what is taking place. We say “nature is at work.” Also during this time, there is much discomfort for both of them as contractions are taking place moving the baby downward. As time goes by, that pressure gets more and more intense on both mother and child.
 
2023
We know we are in that special time of earth’s history called “The End Days.” There’s much written about these days in the Old and New Covenants that we have been taught. Yet, now it is more important than ever to keep The End Day’s scriptures before our eyes.
 
I found Isaiah Chapter 2 interesting this morning. This prophet is pointing toward our generation, those Spirit-filled Believers on earth right now who have been called with a purpose to bring in the harvest and prepare His Body for the return of Jesus. Once the Glorious Church is removed then will come God’s terrible wrath upon earth. After that, the 1,000 years of Christ’s rule from Jerusalem will come, which we will be a part of. See Revelation 2:25-29 and Matthew 19:28.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 
But for now, the Apostle Paul reveals the coming of the Lord for His Church:
“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

"For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13 – 5:11)
 
Let us also remember The Parable of the Ten Virgins. Five were prepared, watching with their lamps full of oil.  Jesus said of the others, “I do not know you.”
“Watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” (Read Matthew 25: 1-13)
 
Revival at Asbury College
At the same time we are watching, (prepared for Jesus’ return), the Lord is pouring out His Holy Spirit to gather souls into the Kingdom of God. Revival does not come without a foundation of prayer being laid in cities by praying people.
 
Could it be that the Holy Spirit anointing, which sparks faith in Jesus in an unbeliever that gets them born again, actually started with the revival that occurred in the 1960’s and 70’s? Many Believers then were praying for revival and have continued to intercede these many years. Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” (Matthew 24:34)
 
Revelation 5:8-9 is so curious to me.
It says that in heaven there are “golden bowls full of incense which are the prayers of the saints.” Are they saved in bowls to be released according to God’s time clock for earth? What would it look like if God poured out those bowls of intercessory prayers all at the same time? Might that be a most powerful event to help the lost get loosed from the evil lies of demonic control so that they find the love of their life, Jesus Christ?
 
Whether this is accurate or not, we do know that God will release His power upon the earth to get the lost in before the great and awesome day of the Lord’s wrath!

Prayers for the lost will be poured out like a flood that devils cannot hold back or steal! Multitudes are coming in…and we need to be praying in answers to how the churches can train up these new believers!
It’s glorious!!!

“The Established Heart”

Definition of establish: to make stable; make firm; settle.
To order, ordain, or appoint (officials, laws, etc.) permanently
To set up (a government, nation, business, etc.)
_____________________________________________________________
 
“But I am the Lord your God,
Who divided the sea whose waves roared--
The Lord of hosts is His name.
 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 51:15-16)

 
1. The Lord of all the earth is your God.
2. He has put His word in your mouth.
3. He has covered you with His anointing.
4. He will use your words to plant the heavens and lay the foundations.
5. I say to you, you belong to Me!  
 
“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)

 
1. The Lord has touched your mouth.
2. Have eyes to see into the spirit realm.
3. I set you over nations and kingdoms.
4. You are to root out and to pull down.
5. You are to destroy and throw down.
6. You are to build and to plant.
 
“He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am? ’ ”
 
“Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and 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 16:16-19)
 
1. Jesus asks you, “Who do you say I am?”
2. You are the Messiah, the Son of God, my Savior!
3. Now, you are My disciple.
4. Through this revelation, you will bring others to Me as I build My church.
5. The gates of hell shall not prevail against this revelation.
6. The gates of hell shall not stop Me from My assignment or prevent My disciples from this divine work.
7. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
8. Your words of authority that bind evil on earth will also bind evil activity in the heavenlies over your cities. Bind devils of witchcraft and sorcery!
9. Your anointed words of power will loose what you declare loosed on earth— like lost souls. That will affect the heavenlies, releasing the power of the Kingdom of God that builds His church.
 
“…that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.” (Ephesians 3:8-12)
 
1. Preach Christ to make all see and understand the mystery, hidden in God from the beginning of the ages, who created all things through Jesus.
2. The purpose is that now the wisdom of God must be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
3. This is the eternal purpose which God accomplished in His Son, our Lord.
4. In Jesus, His church has boldness, confidence, and access through faith in Him.
 
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:10-12)
 
1. Be strong and powerful in Jesus your Lord.
2. Put on God’s armor and keep it on so that you will stand firm against the deceits (tricks) and evil military-like strategies of the devil.
3. Our number one enemy is not flesh and blood.
4. Principalities, powers, rulers and spirit forces in the heavenlies are to be cast out of our cities by the keys (word power) Jesus gave us in Matthew 16. Fear not!
 
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints…”
1. Since you have the mind of Christ, the helmet of salvation protects who you are in Christ. Knowing and acting on your identity in Him will cause you to think differently and pray with the authority that changes nations. (See the link below.)
2. The sword of His Spirit, God’s Word coming forth from intercessory prayers accompanied with praying in tongues, is far more powerful than the already defeated enemies of God. Tongues will re-charge your spirit.
 
“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”
(Colossians 2:13-15)
 
1. You were made alive together with Him…His resurrection power is in you!
2. Never allow the devil to bring up past sins; they do not exist!
3. Jesus nailed your evil past to His cross.
4. Jesus stripped the devil while in Hell.
5. Jesus’ triumph over the enemy was our triumph over the enemy.
6. Live every day in Jesus and His Resurrection power!
7. Your heart is established in the Lord.
8. Fulfill your assignment church! When we all fulfill our purpose, we become His Glorious Church without spot or wrinkle!
 
The Established Heart is you, dear one!

“Lord, what about 2023?”

 
Two Trees … Two Choices
“And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (Genesis 2:9)
 
“Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.’ ”
(Genesis 2:15-17)
 
In The Beginning…The Test
“And he said to the woman, ‘Has God indeed said, “You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” ‘And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1-5)
 
Eve not only misstated the commandment of God but also believed that knowing good and evil would make her wise. (Genesis 3:6)
So she ate and then “gave to her husband with her, and he ate.”
 
Definition of Deceive: to persuade someone that something false is the truth, or to keep the truth hidden from someone for your own advantage
 
And so her belief infected all her children with the sin nature. Untold sorrow and wickedness were released when Adam and Eve could have eaten from the tree of life!
 
Jesus! The Savior of the World
Jesus, born of the virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, had a sin nature as well; but He chose not to sin throughout His life!
 
His divine calling and His love for Father were always first place. He came to redeem man! Even when in the desert for forty days, Jesus always chose scripture against the lies of His enemy, satan. (Matthew 4:1-11) What about born again Christians? Shouldn’t we be like Jesus as well?
 
“… knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him…” (Romans 6:6-8)
 
What about 2023?
Revival and Judgment!

Just like Adam and Eve, every day we will have choices to make. Eat from the Tree of Life, your Bible! Don’t seek after the glitter of the world: the knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil.
 
Watch out for distractions that come to steal your time with the Lord.
That will eventually steal your anointing and hinder your race. Praying in tongues will drop off too. For an Intercessor that may mean souls will not be reached!
And, if you are a Pastor, your spoken words will become ineffective and the church will not get their battery charged up! The power of Holy Spirit at work in the Body of Christ must not be lost from the local church. The thief opposes the Kingdom of God and desires to start with Pastors…
 
Daily Choices Matter
From the moment we wake up till the time we to go to bed, we have many choices to make, especially now that we have become so attached to technology. What are we reading, watching, and listening to? The gap between good and evil should be widening as we get closer to Jesus’ return in the air. We do not want to be left behind!
 
Recently, my husband and I began watching a drama series  based on a true story of a deaf woman who was hired to help the FBI with criminal cases. Her ability to read lips helped them many times to solve difficult cases. The actress, so good, kind, and knowledgeable, once in awhile spoke of God. But I began to realize that as the series was continuing, the stories were becoming darker and more disturbing, showing the underground wickedness of terrorist and cell groups kidnapping and killing people, trying to blow up our cities. Holy Spirit inside me was saying this is not for me. So we stopped watching it.
 
Why? We were eating from the wrong tree, the one called, “The tree of knowledge of good and evil.” Yes, the FBI was doing their job, but as an Intercessor, I need to be more watchful over my heart and what I put before my eyes and allow into my ears…especially before bedtime.
 
I don’t want the Word and peace of God planted in my heart every morning to become stolen at night. That will affect my armor and effective praying. (Ephesians 6:10-19) Thank God there’s so much anointed teaching to watch on YouTube. Or perhaps something like Andy Griffith once in a while would be okay…haha.
 
Jesus and The Kingdom of God: 2023
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7)
 
These things keep coming up to me like a billboard sign for 2023:
  1. Our prayers are being answered. Yes, revival is here!
  2. So is extreme wickedness. As it was in the days of Noah…
  3. Separation! The Parable of the Tares and the Wheat is taking place. Separation and dividing in the political realm and also in churches is taking place. Imagine churches embracing homosexuality! Are we to take Romans, Chapter One, out of the Bible? Saints, everything is being separated by the Lord for a reason. Read Mark 4:10-20 often.
  4. The Great Apostasy: a falling away, a withdrawal, a defection. In Christianity, apostasy is a withdrawal from faith and trust in God. Some who once walked with Jesus, will walk with Him no more…(2 Thessalonians 2:3)
 
“You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:17-18)
 
Beloved, we were chosen to live in the last days: “A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people…” (1 Peter 2:9)

This is That
January 2023: The Spirit Realm Realities

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
(1 Corinthians 13:13)
 
GOD IS LOVE
Why is love the greatest of these? Because without love, faith and hope lose their foundation. Without love, faith and hope cannot release the Kingdom of God into the earth. That does not please God because “the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19)
 
The Whole World
Imagine getting onto a freeway where no one is obeying the speed limits. Suddenly there is chaos everywhere! People are driving every which way, changing lanes, speeding up…then suddenly slowing down, no regard for others. Uh oh, there’s a crash over there and then another one in the fast lane. Panic and chaos have taken over; fear is everywhere as people come to a stop because they cannot move. “How can I get off this freeway? Is there any way out of this?”
 
What did Jesus say about love?
“ ‘And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31)
 
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35)
 
Paul gave us a description of what love looks like in action. See 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Notice below what happens when nations turn away from God.
 
End Days: Perilous, Chaotic Times
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
 
Definition of Perilous: full of danger or risk; hazardous, risky, unsafe
 
What then?
Are God’s people to live in fear continually, like being stuck on a freeway with the ungodly ruling in our governments???  Absolutely not! “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.” (1 John 4:17) The Helper, the Holy Spirit lives within you. That means the Kingdom of God is in you. He will direct your steps and keep you from getting stuck in world chaos. But will you hear Him?
 
“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 4:19) The Word has enemies!
 
The Unfruitful Word
If fear and the cares of this world enter into you it’s a sign you are being pulled away from scripture: your soul desires other things. Faith cannot move the mountain. Prayer becomes ineffective and the Kingdom of God does not bear fruit. Faith works through love; loving God, loving His Word, loving others.
 
One Generation: You!
We are the generation sent to harvest souls into God’s Kingdom. Walking in faith, hope, and love are especially important to Intercessors.
 
If we choose to abide in worldly programs, newscasts, party lifestyles, alcohol, and so on, Holy Spirit/ spirit-man may become silenced as soul and body are taking you away … influenced by the sway of the wicked one. That current is strong, saints. Watch out! Some, whose heart becomes so hardened may not be able to get back.
 
Keep your will set on God’s ways every day. Holy Spirit will prompt us to study the Word, pray throughout the day in tongues, listen to faith teachings and so on. Eat from the tree of life, not the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
 
Peter says:
“His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.” (2 Peter 3-7)
 
Jesus our High Priest and Intercessor
“Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:23-25)
 
His call has become our call. This strong desire we have burning in our hearts for lost humanity comes from the heart of our Lord.
 
When God sent the Holy Spirit to earth on the day of Pentecost, tongues of fire sat on the 120 prayers in the upper room. The power of tongues was manifested. “When the sound occurred, the multitude came together and were confused…”
Peter stood up and preached and that day 3,000 people got saved!
(See Acts Chapter 2)
 
Tongues!
There is no defining of the power of this gift, for it starts in our hearts where Holy Spirit resides. When released it can give praises to the Most High and increase our strength. It also joins us together with others who are seated in high places in prayer. And, of course, tongues can be released with great authority as a tremendous weapon of power against principalities and powers in the air over our cities.
 
Spirit-led tongues can take you into your divine place of authority to loose multitudes from the captivity of demons. Tongues can cause the lost in your city to hear the gospel and receive Jesus as Lord. Tongues are a mighty weapon that blast through the air. They cannot be contained or stopped. They are divinely sent. The devil can’t stop tongues. However, he does desire to keep you from praying in tongues. Why? Because he cannot steal what he doesn’t know. One way satan can stop tongues is through the soul to distract you.
 
When the 120 prayers began to pray in tongues, an anointing came upon Peter to preach the Word. His anointed words were received by the lost and curious. His words became as living water which got them born again!
 
We have this same power; even quick prayers for one we may see on a street corner or someone in a store are powerful. An intercessor is touched with God’s compassion for those that are lost.
 
Saints, multitudes of souls are seeking what they know not. Our High Priest and Intercessor is calling them into Him…
 
Remember this: we are one Body seated in heavenly places in Him. When we pray, we are never alone but are joining together with other parts that we know not in the natural.
 
*The spirit-man has a “need” to express the deep things in the heart to the Father through tongues.
 
Secrets of 2023
There’s something about this year 2023. Some of those things are hidden.
God is not revealing everything to the prophets, but intercessors have the job to pray them in! Ask God for more about this. What a divine and glorious call we have been given. “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done Lord Jesus!”  
 
The Spirit Realm Realities
“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
(1 Corinthians 13:13)
 
Feed your spirit the Word, Beloved!
You might enjoy Proverbs Chapter 8.
