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)

The Groaning ...
Early Birth Signs!
“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God...
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also....even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body... Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” (See Romans 8:18-27)

1. Who is groaning? The whole creation (nature).
Why are they groaning?
Nature is groaning for the revealing of the sons of God to use their authority to manifest peace and order in the heavenlies and on earth due to the fracturing and disorder that rampant sin is producing.

2. Who is groaning? The Body of Christ.
Why are we groaning?
We are waiting for the adoption: the redemption of our bodies that will occur in a twinkling of an eye.

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:50-54)

The deep inward groaning or yearning of God’s children is the waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies. Like a woman in labor, her birth pangs intensify with time until a great amount of pressure comes just before the delivery.

3. Who else is groaning? The Holy Spirit.
He is groaning with us to give us help when our spiritual and mental strength is depleted and we feel overcome with bad news. If fear is taking hold and entering in, Holy Spirit is there to provide courage and renew boldness. He is the one Who enlightens scripture to transform it into power to be released to your inner man. To every Believer baptized in Him, He is there within you, not outside somewhere, but in you, to strengthen your spirit, soul, and body.

He makes intercession for you with groanings which cannot be uttered out loud until the Believer releases them in tongues.

The unity of Holy Spirit and you is not really two but the two are one. It is like this: Holy Spirit/spirit. Meditate on this:
He is all power. He is the One who raised Jesus out of Hell!
That same resurrection power is in you! (Romans 8:11)

TONGUES!
Praying in tongues is tapping into the power grid of God!

Many of His children are not giving voice to releasing this power.
When we become weak and downcast it may be because we are not letting the power within — out.

When my tea kettle’s water is boiling and bubbling up, it produces a high pitched noise and gets my attention. I take the lid off, pressure escapes, and the screaming subsides!

Saints, there’s no doubt the end days are difficult times, but God has given us Himself.

Let Him express Himself! Pray more in tongues! The power that created the universe and everything on earth is in you and me, the Body of Christ. We are equipped to overcome!

Withstand the pressure of evil in these last days. Pray in tongues throughout your day, here and there, or more as time permits. The screaming will stop!

Philippians 1:28
“Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel...
and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

Strategic Air Command
No, not the movie, the Body of Christ which is seated in heavenly places in Christ, far above all principalities, powers, dominions and authority! It is our time, Saints, not to grow weary in doing good, but on the contrary, to mount with wings like eagles to demand the Kingdom of God to come forth! Jesus said the Kingdom of God is in you. Release it with faith-filled words based on scripture. Tap into the power plant of tongues in intercession. Devils run from it!

Now the season changes!
Our intercession is laying track for other ministries with boots on the ground to be empowered. Arrest and cast out demonic forces that are blocking and stealing miracles, signs, and wonders from the churches. The Kingdom will break forth in local churches everywhere with demonstrations of power to heal all the sick and hurting. Prepare for the harvest.

One Generation – Luke 22:32
You and I are getting older. That means time is running out. One generation, our generation, has a magnificent purpose to fulfill. Think of that! The last generation has been chosen with the greatest assignment of the church age: bring in the harvest of the earth! “Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.” (John 4:35-38)

Seed
God made everything by seed, including you!
Without seed there is nothing. Words are seed.
“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made with things which are visible.” (Hebrews 11:1) Faith without words is dead. Everything in nature was created by His Words. Everything is subject to our words in His name. Spirit words are the sword of the Spirit/spirit. (Ephesians 6:17)

Time
“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)
It seems there is pressure to get things done, especially the assignment to bring in the harvest. And what is the harvest doing? They are wondering what in the world is going on. They are aware that things are different. And that’s exactly what God wants! I was thinking about the last quarter in a Super Bowl Football Game. Thousands are seated in the stands watching the game but also watching the minutes go by.

Saints, we’ve got the ball! How much time do we have before Jesus calls us up to meet Him? We know it’s soon. What each of us accomplishes in this last season will determine what our assignment will be in the millennium when we return with Jesus to rule and reign with Him! Glory to God! (Revelation 2:26)

Remember, our prayers of authority are laying track for souls to come to Jesus! The Kingdom of God suffers violence, but the violent take it by force...every day. You’ve got the ball!

The Harvest
Harvesting is the process of gathering a ripe crop from the fields.
Reaping is the cutting of grain or pulse for harvest, typically using a scythe, sickle, or reaper. On smaller farms with minimal mechanization, harvesting is the most labor-intensive activity of the growing season.

“Contend for the heavenlies! Take dominion here!
For what happens here has influence upon the cities below,” says the LORD.

Strategic Air Command:
Dominate the weather. Chaotic weather most often is the result of witchcraft and sorcery. That can be cast out. Stay alert and watch. Keep your armor on, but stay in peace and in His Word. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people on assignment with a purpose.
An empowerment of grace be upon you.

*If the news upsets you, your authority may be hindered.

This is that...August 2022

8/18/2022

Someone recently said, “As Intercessors we have to be informed of things going on in our nation so that we can pray about them.” Holy Spirit said: “No, not exactly.”

Spirit/spirit
Holy Spirit knows about everything that is going on. He leads us as we pray, especially in tongues. Tongues will provide an alternate route to bypass the traffic in the mind. Praying in the Spirit is connecting to Him--Spirit/spirit, completely as One being—a new creation in Christ!

Rather than trying to depend only on gathering information from news programs, we can go inward to the re-created man to pray out mysteries...secrets that are in code directly to Father! Get comfortable with not knowing everything. We pray out hidden, undisclosed knowledge that the world does not have access to, but Holy Spirit does. He is God! We hit the target 100% of the time!

Romans Chapter 8:1-6 contrasts walking according to the flesh rather than living according to the inward Spirit/spirit. We can transfer this knowledge to a higher place of intercession with tongues. Remember, the enemy cannot steal what he doesn’t know.

Romans 8:1-6
Notice highlighted words.
1“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Highlights to Intercession
Vs. 1. do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Do not pray according to the earthly physical senses. What you hear, what you see happening in the news, is all subject to change. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
Vs. 2. Those Intercessors who live/walk in the Spirit/spirit are made free of sin and death. You are under grace. (Romans 6:14) Praying in tongues comes out of the new-creation man that is totally free, beyond earthly restrictions.
Vs. 3. What the Old Testament Law could not do because it worked through the flesh (weak), God accomplished by sending His Son’s Spirit into man. We operate in the higher realm of the Spirit. There, we pray out mysteries that advance the Kingdom of God. Also, tongues will add muscle to build your inner man and make you bold to bind and cast out devils that are against the Gospel. (Jude 1:20, Matthew 18:18)
Vs. 4. Jesus Christ fulfilled the righteous requirement of The Law, therefore the law is now fulfilled in us who walk according to His Spirit. This empowers our praying to a new level of authority on the earth. Do you really know who you are in Christ?

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:16-19)

The Ministry of Reconciliation
Sinners need to be prayed for before the “word of reconciliation” can get through their mental barriers of unbelief. There are many anti-Christ spirits in the atmosphere that need to be bound and cast out over our cities. They are there because there has been little to no enforcement to lock them up. “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12) Let’s kill the root, Saints!

Back to Romans Chapter 8
Vs. 5. Set your mind on things of the Spirit. A few minutes of tongues will silence your thoughts and advance the power of your prayers. Remember it is always Spirit/spirit. Tongues can go where no man has gone before!
Vs. 6. The carnal mind is not based on God’s Word and will result in prayers that are consumed with the problem. Restating the problems over and over will not produce change and may bring weariness and despair. To be spiritually minded is life and peace from God’s Word. That’s where faith resides. And faith works through love!

The Power of Angelic Armies Await Your Orders!
1 Corinthians 13:1 “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels...”
So when you declare the mountain to move, angelic armies are released to remove hindrances that are preventing revival. But remember, hatred and unforgiveness toward evil leaders will keep your faith stuck at the red light.

When praying for my city, I go back and forth between English and tongues. I am very aware of the angels.
Sample: “I plead the blood of Jesus on every lost person in my city. I command devils of lawlessness and anti-Christ spirits against the Gospel to be cast out of them now! You devils be taken captive by the great armies of God! I pray for the lost to hunger for Jesus. Lord, give them ears to hear and understand what Jesus did for them. Pull them into You, Father, in Jesus’ name. I speak peace and order over my city.”

Always keep in mind: You and I are enforcing what Jesus has already accomplished!!! And He wants us to DO this!

“Contend for the position!”

What does that mean exactly, Lord?
"Your place in the spirit is where you dominate from!"

The kingdom of God suffers violence but the violent take it by force! Intercessors, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. It is from this position that you have Kingdom authority. As a New Creation you are one with Holy Spirit—the One who is all power and might. It was He that produced what Father spoke in the beginning, and it is He who performs and brings about what you release in prayer.

2 Timothy 3:1-13
Scripture has revealed the end days to be perilous times, times of great distress. Your position of authority can dwindle down to nothing if you read or hear all the evil reports bombarding the air waves every day and you carry them with you. (Mark 4:19) Jesus warned us: the cares of the world entering in choke the Word and the Word becomes unfruitful! If the Word is unfruitful, you are unfruitful in prayer. Your words will have less and less authority. Hebrews 4:16 – “the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith....” If worry and cares steal the Word, they will deteriorate your faith and become void of power. The mountain will not move into the sea! (Mark 11:23) Satan schemes to steal the “authority of the Believer” to make their words void of power over him.

The Matthew 16:18-19 Mandate
“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.” Keys are authority; keys are anointed words!

Intercessory prayer is advancing the Kingdom of God. Here we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with principalities; taking dominion against powers, and the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...through the name of Jesus. (Ephesians 6:12) If you are timid with this, it is because you don’t know who you are in Christ. If you only see yourself like the one in the mirror every day, you will be timid spiritually.

Your mind must be renewed to who you are...in Christ, for in Him you have an anointing of strength and power. In His name you cast out devils. In Him healing flows to heal the sick. These are SIGNS that follow those who believe. (Read Mark 16:14-20) Remember, you are enforcing what Jesus has already done! it is Holy Spirit in you that performs the miracles as you speak.

2022 – What a Year!
It would seem to me that God has revealed the hidden corruption in our nation for all to see. Why? So that the Church can rise to her position of authority and clean it out.

It is always “in His name” that we contend for our position of authority over demonic forces. In reality, every one of them has been stripped bare in hell by Jesus Christ! “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” (Colossians 2:15)

Why weren’t they chained up permanently back then? Because we are still going through the ages and Father has a plan for each generation. God is developing us in how to rule and reign now and when we come back in the Millennium. (Revelation 2:26-29)

The Act of Intervening in The Spirit
Our great calling for souls to come into the Kingdom is at hand! I believe it is a number one priority. Some of the wicked will turn from evil and seek the Lord; remember Saul of Tarsus? We are praying for the lost, and taking the land for peace and order in our cities. Dominate weather patterns! People of sorcery are behind much of the chaotic weather. That’s about control!

In the military isn’t it important to follow orders from the General? This word from the Lord today, “Contend for the Position,” is vitally important to our nation. Keep your armor on, stay in God’s Word daily and go to the root of trouble: cast out the devil! Remember who you are!

Tongues Will Open the Unseen and Take You In
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God...” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

This is that…7.11.22
The Power of Tongues
If I pray in tongues, my spirit prays. (1 Corinthians 14:14)

My spirit is releasing what I didn’t know I knew. Scripture reveals I am a spirit, I have a soul, I live in a body. My spirit can never ever be alone. Holy Spirit of God lives there: Spirit/spirit—entwined in perfection. Information, knowledge of the unknown, abides in this sanctuary vault. Therein is the One who formed what Elohim spoke in Genesis Chapter One.

Holy Spirit is all knowing, never tiring, and all powerful.
In the beginning He made light. He made the expanse, the earth, the plants, the heavens, and all that is needed to sustain life. He made man a speaking spirit like God. He is One with Father and Son. And one day He would join with man as man became a new creation that would rule and reign on earth to subdue God’s enemies.

So what is actually taking place when we pray in the Holy Spirit?
You are building yourself up in faith. And faith works through love. We are subduing natural thinking to go into the higher realms of unlimited authority. We are transferring into the realm of God; His Kingdom.

I wrote down my thoughts after 15 minutes of tongues:
Tongues subdues the soul. Tongues edifies or strengthens the inner man, the real you where Holy Spirit abides. Tongues can release heavy burdens onto the Lord. Tongues nourishes my faith with a boost of anointing. You can pray out your future in tongues. Tongues reveals hidden things, hidden information you didn’t know. Tongues brings your thoughts into subjection. Tongues can help you rule your emotions. Tongues can pray out your future day. Tongues can release the Kingdom of God. Tongues transfers you into the spirit realm. Tongues is heart to heart communication with Father and Jesus. Tongues can be discerned by the Angelic Armies of God.. Tongues gives you the freedom of joy. Tongues can help you think right. Tongues is Holy Spirit language. Tongues can give you knowledge of something only God knows. Tongues is a never-ending supply of power given to strengthen God’s child. Tongues not released causes an inward frustration to the new man. Tongues released can go into your future and pray out mysteries.

“… be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.”
(Ephesians 4:23-24)
You were born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible through the Word of God. (1 Peter 1:23) That is when you were seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:6) The new man will grow exceedingly as he develops his Kingdom language.

There’s no end to searching out God’s Holy Spirit who dwells within you and me! (Isaiah 40:25-31)

Praying in tongues is the precursor of power.
“...the Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it be force.” (Matthew 11:12)
“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 16:19)
“...you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit...” (Acts 1:5)
“...you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you: you shall be witnesses to Me...” (Acts 1:8)

How to Overcome in Perilous Times: Tongues!
“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)

“...I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”
(Matthew 16:18)

“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)

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7)

Saints, got 15 minutes to pray in tongues?

The Day of Visitation

7/3/2022

Dear Ministers of Intercession,
Gaining Ground and Influence

The Authority of Using our Weapons:
Spirit-filled intercessors who pray in tongues enter into the Spirit realm. Although we have boots on the ground, this is where we are “seated in the heavenly in Christ,” far above principalities and powers to attain glorious victories as we blast through and bind strongholds of demonic influence! (Ephesians 1:3, 1:21 & 2:6) Have you noticed the difference in the heavens after the Supreme Court stood for our Constitution last Friday? Things are open and the Kingdom of God has come for the great Revival of souls! Does one intercessor in their prayer closet have authority to change things? Absolutely! You are one with a multitude of elite soldiers that gather together in the unseen realm. “The Kingdom of God suffers violence but the violent take it by force!” That force is the Holy Spirit within you and me! Intercession joins us to other Believers for a Kingdom purpose, even though we can’t see others or touch them. You are never praying alone.

The Day of Visitation
In my study yesterday of 1 Peter Chapter 2, I felt like I struck gold when I read verses 11 and 12. “Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.” What does this mean, “the day of visitation?”

Bible Hub: One commentator said: “Peter hopes that this close observation of the lives of Christian people would lead the Gentiles to glorify God; he was thinking, perhaps, of our Lord's words in the sermon on the mount: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Another comment about “the day of visitation” was, “They did not know the time when God was visiting the heathen with His converting grace.” Someone else commenting also on Matthew Chapter 24 said, “The day of visitation is when God brings things to a crisis—bringing both grace and vengeance.”

Isn’t that profound? We are seeing this take place right before our eyes!

Other translations say the day of visitation is a day of inspection; a day of reward and retribution; a time when He comes to judge; when He visits them; a Day of Judgment; a day of examination when He will judge the world.

When Jesus wept over Jerusalem He was seeing the future destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. He said, “…they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” (Luke 19:44)

The Day When God Visits
Bible commentator Ellicott writes: “And this will not mean only the great last day, but on whatever occasion God brings matters to a crisis. The visitation is a visitation of the Christians and the heathen alike, and it brings both grace and vengeance, according as men choose to receive it. (See Luke 19:44, and Luke 1:78.)

The Day of Visitation 2022: Judgment!
When God brings things to a crisis—bringing both grace and vengeance!

The Lord reminded me of two passages of scripture that are important for us right now. The Parable of the Tares and Wheat speaks of angels separating God’s worldly children at the end of the age from people that are wicked and delight in lawlessness. (Matthew 13:36-43)

These days we can certainly see an increase of people that delight in doing evil. Quite a change from when we were young.

Insurrection
The second thing God reminded me is found in Numbers Chapter 16. It is the account of those who rose up in rebellion to remove Moses and Aaron from leading God’s nation. God told Moses to separate His people from those leading the insurrection. What was God’s punishment on this violent uprising against authority? God opened up the earth and Korah, his followers, and all their families went down alive into Hell! Two hundred and fifty other leaders that Moses had chosen were also in rebellion. They perished as a “fire came out from the Lord.” Here too we see a separation of people taking place.

The church of 2022 has been warned: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14)

The closer Jesus’ return comes, the more important separation is. We wouldn’t want to be left behind. Keep your oil lamp full! (Matthew 25)

June 14th, 2022

6/14/2022

What is it?
You and I were born into it.
It directs your life.
You and I cannot control it.
It is always now.
It moves forward.
It never goes backwards.

If allowed, it causes pressure now or in the future. The past is only memories. The future always remains to be seen. The majority of past decisions you or others have made were influenced by it. It controls the earth in seasons which produce food. Everyone makes their plans according to it. Animals are subject to its influence. Humans come and leave earth according to it.

God the Father set it in motion but is not subject to it and lives outside of all its boundaries. In all the world only one book is not subject to its restrictions but remains alive and current for each generation on the earth. Father has proclaimed: “I declare the latter end from the beginning…” (Isaiah 46:10)

All of God’s children experience a unique relationship with Him, apart from it.

It had no influence on Father when He chose you in Him before the foundation of the world. That is when you were predestined to be adopted. You were predestined to fulfill God’s plan according to it. According to His selected plan, you believed and were marked with a seal. The promised Holy Spirit is a deposit of your divine inheritance until all things reach their fulfillment according to it. By grace you were saved according to this. God prepared good works for you to fulfill beforehand. (See Ephesians 1 and 2.)

Your personal relationship with Father depends on your daily decision to rule over this, for if you do not control it, it will dominate and fragment your life, causing anxiety and even anger. That adds up to making bad decisions and a loss of the peace that Jesus desires us to have.

Jesus submitted to it when He came to earth, fulfilling His Father’s plan.
He submitted to it when He said good-bye to His disciples, yet promised them He would send the Helper. His disciples prayed and waited in the upper room for the appointed blessing to occur. And Jesus will again submit Himself to it when He fulfills His promise to return and remove His Glorious Church from earth.

All end days scriptures and events written in the Old and New Testament are in subjection to it. One generation, in particular, is waiting for the fullness of it.

1948 – 2022
Watching For It
“So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:31-36)

“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)

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’ ” (1 Corinthians 15:51-54)

Time Says:
*You can only live and experience life in this present moment.
*The past and the future are only thoughts.
*True freedom releases the mind to enjoy and live life fully, right now, in this moment, in this day.
*God has given you this day to enjoy it in Him.
*Jesus will return in the air according to Father’s time.
*Watch!

Two Trees
Now there is only one!

On a mountain top that overlooks the Pacific Ocean only one tree is left and that one just barely! The other tree has dried up and died. For many years “Two Trees” was a landmark for my city. What happened? A very slow decrease, year after year, of rain.

Two Trees
In God’s garden, He spoke to the earth to bring forth trees that yield fruit, “whose seed is in itself.” (Genesis 1:12) Later, He would speak to His son Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for “in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 1:17)

The Freedom to Choose
You and I can only live in today.
Every day, Father gives us the choice to eat of the Life of Scripture, or to go with the flow of the world. Living life with Holy Spirit is a glorious joy that blossoms with anointed fruit. “Against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:23) That fruit is a witness to the lost and suffering!

The unsaved still have a choice to obey God and eat of the tree of life before the climactic event of the Church being removed from the earth.

Those who continually harden their hearts against God are becoming crazy! The definition of crazy is mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way. Well, they’re eating poison fruit. And so, “God gives them up.” (See Romans 1:18-32)

The Powerful Ministry of Prayer
Yet there’s hope for the blind! You and I have an anointing of power to release those “whose minds the god of this world 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)

Fruit of the Latter Rain: One Generation!
The early rain was the first Pentecost- Acts 2:1-21.
The latter rain began in1948 as Israel became a nation. The Pentecostal movement exploded in the1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s!

“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.” (Luke 21:32)

“Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” (James 5:7-8)

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you—The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month.” (Joel 2:23)

“Let us now fear the Lord our God, Who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season.” (Jeremiah 5:24)

“Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.” (Hosea 6:3)

“Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone.” (Zechariah 10:1)

So ask the Lord for rain!
Remember, dear Saint, you fulfilling your life’s call is dependant on what tree you eat from. The only tree that bears Kingdom fruit is from your Bible as it becomes life within your spirit to re-charge your anointing with power! Scripture is fruit “whose seed is in itself.”

“Two trees” in my city stands as a picture of life … without rain.

Keeping Your Tree Alive with Fruit
I remember Brother Copeland sharing that once a year experienced pilots do what is called “recurrent flight training” to stay sharp. One company on the internet says recurrent training “empowers you with unwavering calmness and composure needed for all situations, from the everyday to the unusual. We train you to stay sharp, fine tuned, and always prepared.”

After over 40 years of walking with the Lord, I still need recurrent training, especially during turbulent times…how about you?

I have written over 150 Bible Lessons on what I consider the two most important subjects of Scripture: 1. “Walking/living by Faith in the Word” and 2. Knowing “Who You are In Christ.” Since we are seated in heavenly places in Christ, like pilots, let’s sharpen our spiritual skills from Scripture. Suggestion: Prayer with Purpose Bible Studies.
Have fun!
Get a new notebook, take notes, look up scripture! Anointed prayers that change nations begin at the power station of studying with Holy Spirit.

That is the tree of life, the Kingdom of God!

Curiosity not only killed the cat…
But the entire human race!
“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. 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. “ ’ “ (Genesis 3:1-3)

Curiosity: a desire to learn or know; a desire to learn about things that do not necessarily concern one
Curious: arousing attention or interest; strange; unusual; odd

Things to Ponder
*Why didn’t Adam take authority over the situation since he was standing right there and knew first hand what God had spoken? (Genesis 3:6)
*Notice, the serpent’s question was from a negative angle.
Definition of Negative: to deny, to contradict, to prove false; having the effect of diminishing, depriving, or denying; a statement of denial, refusal, or rejection
*Using the negative, the serpent drew her into conversation by prompting a reply to his twisted question: “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’ ” In other words, you cannot eat any fruit! Satan was certainly soliciting a response.
*The serpent is always trying to steal, kill or destroy God’s Word, spoken or written. That’s because the Word is alive and more powerful than a two-edged sword and is part of the Believer’s armor when released in spoken words. “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
*One question corrupted the original plan of God for man.
*Eve was deceived, Adam was not. (1 Timothy 2:14)
*Why was Eve deceived? “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate.” (Genesis 3:6)
*There was NO death until their disobedience!

Earth: God’s Garden
And yes, the serpent is still here and still up to his old tricks. How many times has curiosity gotten a Believers attention in the early morning to look up something on the internet?

Instead of getting into scripture and spending time with the Lord, an idea/question came into his mind to get his tablet or phone and look something up. One bite of that fruit led to another and then another and time in the Word was lost. Days and days of that will have an effect. How? The Believer’s authority has no power when operating only on memory, just like the results of not eating food for many days. When I was growing up there was a saying that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Spiritually, putting God’s Word ahead of everything else must be a requirement!!! Everything else goes to the back of the line!

Mark 4:13-20 “The Parable of the Sower”
This passage describes four different types of people who heard the Word.

The last Believer, Jesus said, would bear much fruit for the Kingdom of God. But did you know we can reverse these scriptures? Even the once fruitful Believer who has been neglecting his study for a long time will become thorny ground! Why? That’s because the Word is being choked and cannot bear fruit for him. After that he becomes stony ground, and finally he becomes hardened wayside ground who cannot receive. Wow…

“The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.”

No Word? No Faith!
That means no nutrition is getting to the spirit. A starving spirit is like pictures we have seen of Holocaust victims dying of starvation in concentration camps in Nazi Germany. Be on guard Saints of anything that comes before God’s Word!

1 John 5:18-21
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”

Secrets to Intercession
A woman who is pregnant is carrying the life of another. As she approaches her due date, the weight of the child becomes heavy and uncomfortable; “When will this child come?” One thing common in the ninth month of pregnancy is this: the woman learns to endure. She has no choice.

The closer the hour comes, the harder it gets.

We know the hour in which we are living. We who are older are the generation that will fulfill Jesus’ prophecy, that in one generation we would see the deterioration of law and order. Deterioration means the process of things getting worse. “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” See Matthew 24:34. Just think, we’re famous!

We who have been called to live in the end time have a magnificent purpose to fulfill. What is that? To birth the Kingdom of God on this earth! Why? Father wants souls now! Why? Because the seven years of the great tribulation is around the corner! And that means the return of Jesus in the air to evacuate His Glorious Church comes first!

“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
(Luke 21:34-36) Yes Lord Jesus!!!

The Youth
The first Harry Potter book was published in June 1997 and took off with tremendous popularity world-wide. Twenty-five years of teaching sorcery and witchcraft has spread not only in children but adults as well. This evil has also advanced into our political realms. Add to this what our kids have been taught in public schools for years and that produces the unwanted fruit of perilous times as they become adults. And much of the chaos and disorder in the heavens weather patterns are a result of the demonic practices that are taking place, especially at night. Are we to fear? Absolutely not! Paul reveals it is a work of the flesh.

“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:19-21)

“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)

It’s The Ninth Month Saints – Endure!
All this brings us into The Book of Revelation, except for this sliver of time in which we are called to birth souls. The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The call to pray for the lost has gained tremendous importance because time is getting shorter which produces more pressure. (Remember how long a day was when you were a kid?) Yet with all these things, Holy Spirit within guides us, protects us, and instructs us in how to release anointed words (prayers) over everyone we know and see. We are extending life to those in darkness, helping them to reach out for Jesus! Revival is here!

And Jesus is ready to birth signs, wonders, and miracles all over the earth!

POWER
Remember! Tongues has never been more important! It transfers you into His Kingdom to do exploits. “…but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” (Daniel 11:32) Take your authority and bring peace to the heavens that Father made to be good.

You are an overcomer because The Overcomer is within you!

P.S.
You’ve got to know who you are in Christ!
