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 Library (Formerly Tuesday Bible Study.)

When you act on God's Word it will illuminate your purpose and put a fire in your bones and a two-edged sword in your mouth!

Hopeful!

 
Webster’s Definition of Hope:
a feeling that what is wanted will happen;
a desire accompanied by anticipation or expectation
 
Vines Definition of Hope: favorable and confident expectation: describes the ground upon which hope is based. (Romans 8:24-25)
 
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
 
Mankind hopes for things they want in the natural.
For the Church, hope can and should exceed the limits of the natural to produce the super-natural: the Kingdom of God…which has no limits.
Our faith…is the spiritual unseen substance of what we hope for or desire.
 
Hope is a living, dynamic, powerful ingredient of faith.
Those of us who cook know that when following a recipe all the ingredients need to be involved or you won’t have the desired outcome. Let’s say you leave out flour when trying to make a loaf of bread. There would be nothing to hold things together.
 
Faith is THE substance of what you desire to have, but without hope that you will get want you want, hope is floating in the air like a balloon without an anchor. That’s when the question might come, “Why are my prayers not being answered?”
 
Faith is an unseen, intangible force, a substance of the spirit. Without faith, what can hope be built upon? This is where some get weary of waiting and may go astray. Some then seek natural alternatives to replace what they desire from the Kingdom of God!
 
Faith is the substance of what you want…what you hope for. If hope dwindles by thoughts that say “it’s never going to happen,” it’s because your authority to cast the thoughts down that has been neglected. Could it be you are not in the Word every morning? Could it be that praying in tongues is a rare occurrence for you?
 
Saints, the pull of the world is like a strong ocean current that pulls some swimmers out to sea, and before they are aware they are not able to get back to shore.
 
The Act of Intercession
Hope is vitally important to every Intercessor.
Hope is, and can impact, the force of life into any situation. And if you have ever overcome a bad report or anything negative, faith through hope was activated.
 
Take the Challenge
Let’s read Hebrews Chapter 11 every day for the next week. Why? Strength and direction!
 
Our nation is at a unique time in earth’s history and without the prayers from the army of intercessors, the incoming administration will have terrible difficulty. President Trump and the new administration need us to come alongside, to stand in the gap for them against the wiles of the devil, and release the heavenly authorities to do the supernatural and coordinate with the troops on the ground.
 
Faith in God and hope to restore every city and county and state needs The Church and the heavenly police force to heal our Beloved United States of America!

 
One nation under God!

December 2024 (please read all)
The United States is one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all!

 
Prayers for The United States of America…
“Lord, we are so thankful to You for saving the great United States of America;
One nation, under God, undivided! Cause her to return to and establish godly roots and principles that the founding fathers laid down to produce safety and prosperity to all her citizens in all fifty states!
 
Lord, we pray for all Pastors to be bold in the pulpit, teaching their congregations about political issues and our nation’s godly and historical roots!
We ask You, Lord, to place Your mighty hand of protection on president elect Donald J. Trump and his family, every moment of every day, Lord.
We ask You, Lord, to watch over Vice President J.D. Vance, to keep him and his family safe each day.
We thank You for giving us a president that loves You and Your righteous ways.
We ask You to lead and guide him to choose people who are trustworthy for positions of authority; people who have a track record of making godly decisions that affect and protect our nation in ways of righteousness.
We ask You to intervene and remove people that have hidden agendas that would corrupt the godly foundations that the founding fathers established in the beginning.
We ask You, Lord, to reveal and bring justice upon all those who desire to destroy the freedoms that our nation is founded upon.
We ask You, Lord, to give our President elect and Vice-President elect, supernatural wisdom in all their decisions that they make every day, always looking toward what that outcome would be.
We ask You, Lord, to give President Trump discernment to see beyond the natural to those who are dishonest, hiding an evil agenda.
We ask You, Lord, to give our President and others a keen eye to watch over American dollars that are sent to help other nations.
We ask You, Lord, to oversee where our tax dollars are being spent and cause honesty without corruption to be in place.
We ask You, Lord, to complete the southern Border Wall…supernaturally fast!
We ask You, Lord, to save the United States from bankruptcy.
We ask You, Lord, to reveal dishonest people, all those with hidden agendas against President Trump.
Lord, we thank You for saving all those in the armed forces.   
Lord, save the United States from World War III.
Lord, we thank You for religious liberty and pray it continues in the United States.
Lord, we thank You for all the freedoms that we have and ask you to help us to protect them.
Lord, we ask you to bring correction to schools, colleges, and universities that are corrupting the minds of the young and promoting abortion.
Lord, we ask you to protect the Supreme Court Justices and cause them to make godly decisions, for we are one nation, uniquely established, under God!
 

Father, please bring the outpouring of revival into every city, every county, every state in our nation!
__________________________________________
Intercessors: Father God needs us!
Remember Who You Are
You and I were chosen to be on earth to fulfill a heavenly seat of authority for such a time as this in earth’s history!
Only you can fill your shoes (assignment) in God’s end-time advancement of His Kingdom. Intercessors, each with a specific voice, complete a heavenly call and most likely are being joined to other Believer’s that are praying also.
 
We have a very unique position in the spirit realm. Like a large majestic puzzle, the Father has fitted us together for the great commission: “Revival in the United States!” President Trump is involved in this assignment and must have a prayer covering 24/7. Twice his life was saved from the enemy… that we know about.
 
Word study is our launching pad that catapults us into the higher realms of authority to open and release God’s angel armies over the United States.
 
Praying in tongues is the secret military code of the Kingdom.
 
Every one of His pray-ers should be receiving Holy Spirit downloads that re-charge our anointing to help the incoming President and cabinet to make godly choices. Tongues are only discerned by God and sometimes His anointed warriors.
 
President Trump is cleaning house and re-planting godliness in all offices of the government. This is huge!
No man can do this without Holy Spirit and His intercessors.
Each intercessor is uniquely qualified to prosper in their assignment and so important to the United States recovery process. No one can fill
your position!

We are in active service to God’s military.
If we neglect our calling because of busy activities, the enemy will fill that opening with corruption.

Prayer comes first!
 

 JANUARY 2025
God’s agenda!

The United States has entered into a unique appointment in earth’s history. The victory of our nation’s revival is just ahead which will affect all the nations of the earth.
 
Therefore, let each of us be determined to fulfill our call each day. This pleases the Lord.
 

*Fight the good fight and intercede much with Holy Spirit.
*Be watching for thieves of prayer time. Thieves wear clever disguises!
*Be determined to hit the bell of victory with praise each day after you pray over our cities! Praise silences the enemy!
*Pray over U.S. maps.
*Remember: abandoned prayer posts in our cities will get filled with demonic entities that are determined to steal, kill, and destroy…if they can detour God’s army of intercessors.

Your Kingdom Authority!
 
“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)
 
“And He said to the man who had the withered hand, ‘Step forward.’ Then He said to them, ‘Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?’ But they kept silent. And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.” (Mark 3:4-5)
 
“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will
cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
they will take up serpents;
and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18)
 
Church
Are we waiting for God…to do something He already put in our hands to do?

Occupy!

 
Occupy: to take possession of by settlement or seizure; to hold possession of by tenure; specifically to dwell in, to hold (position or office), to employ, busy, or engage oneself, one’s attention, mind, etc.
 
Saints, when Jesus called and you answered and said yes, along with the new birth and eternal life also came your reason for living. We could say your earth assignment was deposited in your spirit. It’s a specific calling that no one else has or can fulfill… only you and your Helper: Holy Spirit.
 
The Parable of the Minas reveals how the Kingdom of God works. (See Luke 19:11-27) Jesus hires three servants and then sends them out on assignment by saying to them: “Occupy til I come!” Other translations say, “Do business till I come.”
 
Two servants obeyed their master by increasing what was given to them, but the one who feared his master, hid from others what he was called to do. What was the result or consequence of this action? What did the master say to him?
 
“For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.”
 
I believe the Lord wants us to step up our witnessing to others. Why? Because He is coming soon and the harvest is ripe and ready for picking! The worse things get around the world the easier it is going to be to witness to the lost.

What’s Ahead…

 
Revelation 19:1- 16
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
 
Jesus and His Army
The Judgment of God!

When Heaven is opened, the Apostle John sees Jesus, called Faithful and True. He is seated on a white horse.
 
Jesus is the One called Faithful and True.
In righteousness He judges and makes war according to His Father’s will.
 
His eyes were like a flame of fire
On His head were many crowns
He has a name written that no one knew except Himself
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood
His name is called: “The Word of God”
 
John also sees the armies of God.
They are clothed in fine linen, white and clean. His people, redeemed by His Blood, follow Him on white horses.
The armies in heaven are clothed in fine linen, white and clean
They follow Jesus on white horses
 
Out of the Lord’s mouth goes a sharp sword
With it He should strike the nations
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron
He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
 
“KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.”

 
The End of Days: Revelation 19:1-16
 
Judgment follows Justice.
Or does Justice follow Judgment?

 
Definition of Judgment:
Deciding a legal decision; order or sentence given by a judge or law court; a misfortune looked on as “punishment from God”
 
Definition of Justice:
The administration of law; the use of authority and power to uphold what is right, just, and lawful
 
When the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is riding on His white horse followed by His army, Jesus is passing judgment on the nations and makes war to punish those who are against Him.
 
God will bring justice, correction against lawlessness. He strikes the nations who are in rebellion to Him. Jesus Himself will execute the wrath of God. The glorious Believers will be with Him for they are those who have been selected for His service to administer law and order.
 
Saints, how well we do in these difficult times will affect our position when we return with Jesus as God’s army.
 
2024 Fact:
Those not living in His Word will be subject to compromise and become worldly…and will probably not hear His call to meet Him in the air.
*Read 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 often.

The Call to Intercession: Scripture!

“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)
 
“Death and life are in the power of your tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)
 
“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)
 
“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. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 
 
“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— “ (Ephesians 6:10-19)
 
Governing Authorities
The police in my city have a very important job to keep law and order here.
 
Likewise, intercessors have a very important job for the Kingdom of God to keep law and order in our cities, state and nation. The weapons we use are unseen, released in the heavenlies, to arrest those spirits of evil trying to take our nation.

Thank God those prayers were at work over President Trump a couple of weeks ago when Jesus saved his life from an assassin. The weeks ahead are going to require you and me to stand firmly rooted in God’s Word and pray more in tongues.

Our keys are most important in heavenly realms. Get a map and pray over cities and states across our nation: peace and order! Don’t neglect your assignment and leave an opening in the heavens!

The Times and the Seasons
 
“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-2)
 
You and I were chosen and sent to proclaim the Kingdom of God; a chosen generation! As we are all getting older, our days ahead are less than when we first started. That means they are more important now as we are closer to His return.
 
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you.”
(1 Peter 2:9)
 
The Clock is Ticking
The Body of Christ on earth is so magnificent and more powerful than we know! As time is moving us forward, each day is more important to the Lord. Each of our daily assignments is designed to connect with others we know or don’t know.
 
You and I have a piece of God’s end-time master plan. Like a puzzle with many pieces, each assignment is vital to the others. Each Believer has an important and unique position in the end-time move of God.
 
I was led to copy a chapter a day from the Book of Revelation in my notebook. It’s very exciting even though I don’t understand everything I am writing. I remind myself the Apostle John is seeing into earth’s development and future. How could he write about things he has no idea what they are.
 
Let’s take a look and see what’s going on after you and I, the glorious church, have finished our assignment and are removed from earth by the Lord’s rapture.
 
Revelation 9:15 – 21
“So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
 
But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
 
The After Effects
When the righteous are removed, righteousness is removed from earth.
What is left? Lawlessness and debauchery!
 
Satan’s kingdom rules and reigns with no acknowledgement or punishment for wrong doing. They did not repent.
 
What is repentance?
* Repentance implies sad and humble realization of and regret for one's misdeeds
* The act of showing that you are very sorry for something bad you have done; this involves change from unrighteous actions to righteous actions
* The ability to repent is something God gives—it is only possible because of His grace.
 
When The Church of Jesus Christ is gone, so is law and order.
See what happens next:
 
*No repentance of their murders
*No repentance of their sorceries (the art, practices, or spells of a person who uses supernatural powers through the aid of evil spirits; black magic; witchery.
*No repentance of sexual immorality
*No repentance of their thefts
 
Lawlessness Means: No Laws!
When The Church is removed, so is the power of righteousness that holds back perversions and deviant behavior. When we area gone, rampant lawlessness will cover all the cities and nations of earth.
 
July 2024
When Jesus described the end days in Matthew Chapter 24 & 25, He also gave them a warning: The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins.
 
Don’t let the busyness of this world steal your time in God’s Word. It is how we remain righteous against lawlessness!

The View From Above

Back in December 2011, I had a view of the The Church in its massive, magnificent position, seated in the heavenly places. I wrote to you about it.
There, in its Kingdom place, above all, encompassing the entire earth was The Glorious Church! (See Ephesians 2:6-7) For more details see Current Events. Scroll down to find.
 
Imagine how Christians might act if they truly saw themselves, “above and not beneath,” going forth with confidence, proclaiming the gospel with signs following: healing the sick, raising the dead, baptizing the multitudes who have just been converted…. 
 

Paradigm Shift
You … The Habitation of God!

The devil is mad. It’s not just because he knows his time is short, but he is actually being pressed, pushed down! We are not the grasshoppers, he is. We are a new creation, born-again ambassadors for the heavenly Kingdom. We are one dynamic unit, or building, as Ephesians says, a “dwelling place of God in the Spirit!” (Ephesians 2:22)
 
The Glorious Church, full of God’s power—Holy Spirit—is over satan. The Church is pressing down upon him as our Father God makes him a footstool for Jesus. (See Hebrews 1:13)
 

One Generation: Us!
We were born, chosen, given an assignment to fulfill in earth’s history: to harvest the earth! 

Jesus was sent to earth with His assignment that would precede us. He overcame every temptation by the uncompromised Word of Truth and then paid for the sin of all mankind. That opened the door to the new birth in Christ! As we get closer to the finish line, let’s give our very best just as Jesus did.
 

2024
Think of the enormous power of the Gospel being preached to earth from all the satellites and live-streaming communications! Add to that the generals of intercession who are invading the nations 24/7 with prayers, supplications, and declarations of faith…binding up and casting out devils day and night. We who stand actually operate in two kingdoms. Therefore, you and I must guard our thoughts/words so that we remember who we are and fulfill the assignment given to us by God before we were born. The time ahead of us is short!
 
Never before has the fullness of the message of redemption in the power of the Holy Spirit hit this earth like this; spreading the gospel to every continent. Elon Musk continues to blast satellites into the atmosphere; his goal being 42,000 of them! We sometimes can hear the sonic boom from Vandenberg Air Force Base when they are sent out.
“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)
 

What is a witness?
To have knowledge of an event of change from personal observation or experience; give or serve as evidence of: testify to
 
Never before has the fullness of the message of redemption in the power of the Holy Spirit hit the entire earth. In our day it is spreading from city to city, nation to nation, from the outer atmosphere, penetrating earth’s heaven where demonic influence has previously occupied.
 
The Glorious Church, full of Holy Spirit, is pressing in to occupy by binding and loosing. God is revealing His Son Jesus from high above the planet as satellites hit the air waves of our cities…satan’s kingdom is being pressed down under Jesus’ feet as intercessors work from their seat of authority on earth while we are seated in heavenly places in Christ.
 

Pray in tongues!
Just as military soldiers have uniforms, we are to be dressed in spiritual uniforms that we never ever take off! (Ephesians 6:10-18)
*stand: girding your waist with truth,
*having on righteousness, the breastplate;
*shod your feet with peace;
*taking the shield of faith to quench every fiery dart
*keep your helmet on
*use your sword
*release God’s Word: pray more in the Holy Spirit!

Revelation 2:1-7
“To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,
 
“These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
 
“Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
 

“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 2:1-7)
 
The Tree of Life
(Genesis 2:9)

“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 3:22-24)
“Then the Lord God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever — therefore the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.”
 
(Revelation 22:2)
“In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
 
(Revelation 22:14)
“Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.”
 
Demands of Life in 2024
Leaving your first love for the things of this world may not happen overnight. I think of people who have been caught in an unseen riptide who were simply playing at the beach. Watch out for the pull of worldliness, all the news events and all the busy tasks of our day. They can rob us of our place of studying Scripture with Holy Spirit. Nothing is more important than this!
 
Leaving your first love may have the consequence of God removing your lampstand. In other words, your “light” will go out.
 
Vines Dictionary: Lamp or Lampstand
A lamp which held little oil and would frequently need replenishing
This is something Believers also experience. The wise know this and stay committed to be replenished from their source of life: The Bible.
 
What can happen if one lets this go?
 
The Parable of the Ten Virgins: Matthew 25:1-13
All ten virgins went to meet the bridegroom.
 
Five were wise, taking oil with them.
Five were foolish, taking no oil with them.
All of them slumbered! At midnight a cry was heard: “Behold, the bridegroom is coming! Go out to meet him.”
 
All ten virgins arose and trimmed their lamps because it was night. Then the foolish said to the wise, “Give us oil, our lamps are going out!” The wise virgins answered, “No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; go and buy some for yourselves!”
 
While they went to buy oil the bridegroom came. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding and the door was shut! Later, the other virgins came saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us!”
He answered, “Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you!”
 
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” (Matthew 25:13)
Our generation will be raptured! Read Matthew 24:32-44 often. That clock started clicking in May1948, when Israel became a nation!

A song for you that I couldn’t remember the name…
 
I had a song about the “tree of life” playing in my head but I didn’t know the title.
So I looked at a list of songs on my phone. I clicked on one which I didn’t recognize and that was what was playing in my heart when I woke up today! Totally God!!!! Totally for you!

“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
(Revelation 1:7-8)

April 2024
Two Women

 
Judges Chapters 4 and 5 are so interesting. Four characters stand out to me:
 
Deborah, a prophetess and a judge in Israel.
Barak, great commander of the army of Israel, once told Deborah he would not deploy his troops for battle unless Deborah would go with him. (Judges 4: 8)
Sisera, commander of the great and wicked Canaanite army who was sent to annihilate Israel.
Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, invited the wicked General Sisera into her tent and when he was asleep got a hammer and a peg and drove it into his head and killed him! (Judges 5:24-27)
 
Judges chapter 4 reveals the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. This is because they began to worship other gods, wanting to be like the other nations around them: they turned away from the Holy Commandments…
 
We Christians, who came out of the revival of the 1970’s, are getting older. We remember the days when the United States was united as one nation under God, under His ways, whether Christian or Jew.
 

Well, what has happened?
Could it be that when the murder of the unborn became legal in 1973, and now 64 million babies have died legally, could it be that opened more doors of debauchery throughout our nation?
 

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1:18-32

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
 
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
 
“Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
 
“Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
 
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” (Pastors, wake up!!!)
 
What shall we say then?
Is it all hopeless?
 

Intercession of Two Women
Deborah the prophetess and Jael, the soldier’s wife, interceded for the nation of Israel. What did the Lord do? He brought a great victory! The last verse in Judges Chapter 5 says, “So the land had rest for forty years.”
 
We who have been called to intercede for our nation have God’s Holy Spirit in us to guide us into areas that only praying in tongues can get into to bring deliverance and victory! In the natural, it seems hopeless, but let’s remember the victory that God brought forth when Israel was also under judgment.
 

The Year 2024
Since the close of this age gets closer everyday, it may be that as we are praying, calling for our cities to repent, the sound of the trumpet may blow and we will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air!
Either way, until then…work the works of Him who called us! You and I were born for such a time as this!
 

Never leave your post vacant in the spirit!
Remember Jael…just a wife at home…with a hammer…

What about April 8th ???

The Solar Eclipse!

What is it? An eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. The last solar eclipse was in 2017.
(NASA website) https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/eclipse-snap/en/
 
Because Texas will experience the full eclipse, multitudes of people are planning to be there to see it in person. So…hotels rooms are all booked! There may be some electrical outages and possibly food and gas shortages due to the increase of people. So, some people are stocking up, which, in itself may cause problems.
 
Eagle Mountain Int’l Church in Fort Worth, Texas, had Pastor Terri talk about this event on Sunday, March 24th at the end of their church service.
 
Pastor Hank Kunnerman had a prophetic Word from the Lord about this eclipse: its four minutes long.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DxdbTSAd3A 
 
Intercessors Alert!
Get a map of the areas that will experience the eclipse. Pray over the cities and towns that might experience a large increase in their population.
Pray in the Holy Spirit now. Be led.
Let’s remember the intervention of two women: Deborah and Jael…
Let’s always remember WHO was guiding them…He who is in you!
 
Prayer with Purpose
The Lord has been reminding me to attach all my prayers to HIS PURPOSE,
like, “Lord, renew my youth like the eagle so that I may continue to release the Kingdom of God to this earth.”
Or, something like…
“Father use this event on April 8th to bring the multitudes to salvation, to believe that You made the heavens and the earth (Romans 1:20), that You sent Your Son to pay the price for their sin and that You love them and have eternal life for them. Lord, help them get born again, in Jesus’ name.”  
We’re praying for you…attached to His tremendous love for you!
