Redemption Of A Nation

September 10, 2021 Filed Under: Whispers

Whispers 90

I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest.

ISAIAH 62:6

My watchmen are lifted up on walls, calling out to Me for national revival and redemption day and night. They give themselves no rest, just as the watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem were not silent.

Watchmen, lift up your voices and cry out to Me for the redemption of the land! Stand and watch Me do a great work through those who pray. Remember, the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities in high places. Ask Me to release the army of heaven to fight this battle in My name and for My glory.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

EPHESIANS 6:12

Listen to Me. Let My words flow to you and saturate our soul. I yearn to pour out My guidance and direction and to make the crooked path straight for you. Step over into the realm of My Spirit and lean in. My delight, joy, and glorious presence await those who are willing to live and move and have their being in My Spirit.

Come up to the mountaintop and look down into the valley, for I say to you, multitudes are wandering in the valley of decision, counting the cost of salvation. The harvest is ready and the workers are few, so call upon Me, the Lord of the harvest, to send more workers into the harvest fields. Continue to pray for My redemptive purposes for this land.

JOEL 3:14

Those wandering in darkness desire to see truth and light. Your life is to be a reflection of My love and compassion, My patience and kindness. Extend My love to My broken world. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never dies, in the world or in the world to come.

Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting – Derek Prince

August 19, 2020 Filed Under: Election, Spiritual

Derek Prince’s book, Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting is a must-read for anyone who is serious about prayer and fasting to reshape history. His book gives us powerful tools we need in order to impact the destinies of nations.

For America, her destiny is in the hands of intercessors and those who pray. If we want America to fulfill her destiny, then we have a responsibility to lay aside every hindrance and press into God for our freedom and her destiny and pray as if everything depends on it. BECAUSE IT DOES.

How may righteous people would it take to save America? In the Old Testament, God assured Abraham that if He could find ten righteous people, He would spare Sodom from destruction. Religious history suggests Sodom might have had a population around 10,000. In the book of Job 33:23, the scripture suggests the same ratio or “one among a thousand.” If this is true, could it be that a remnant in the United States could save America from destruction at this juncture in history. I believe this upcoming election is the most important one in our history.

America is on a collision course with socialists and Marxists, and her future depends on the power of God coming forth on the wings of the prayers of the intercessors who are committed to pray day and night until we see the glory of God come upon our land and destroy wickedness across this country.

Will you take up your assignment for this season in history and not grow weary setting prayer as your first priority?

Rees Howells, the intercessor from Wales in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, was a man who changed history through prayer and fasting. From the book, Rees Howells Intercessor, the author states, “It reminds us that no great event in history, even though prophesied beforehand in the Scriptures, comes to pass unless God finds His human channels of faith and obedience. Prophecies must be believed into manifestation, as well as foretold.” (page 237). Mr. Howells fought in prayer with others over the battles at Dunkirk, the battle of Britain, Russia, Europe, North Africa, Italy, “D” Day, and prayed to the end of World War II when the consummation of six years of prayer came in June 1945, with the establishment of the United Nations which was a good thing then.

Mr. Howells walked so close with the Lord that he was told battle strategies before the battle took place. The power of his intercession and submission to God along with those who prayed with him changed the course of history as Hitler was defeated and Europe and the world were set free from tyranny.

Once again, we are standing against forces of hell who are planning the destruction of freedom in America as well as other nations across the globe. You have a choice. Will you wake up, stand up, and commit to prayer over our beloved country?

If you do not have hunger for God, ask. He will not take you one step beyond where you are willing to go.

Depth of Intercession

July 5, 2020 Filed Under: Whispers

Whispers 106

Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 16:5-8

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

James 5:16

The enemy is always in your face to pull you aside, to distract, and to keep you from doing what I have called you to do. Give him no ground. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith, knowing you will be victorious in My name. If you rise up in faith, you will find My Spirit carrying you forward. Arise!

You will experience a new depth of intercession, and prayer will take on new dimensions. Embrace Me and let Me take you into the greater depths of Jesus Christ. Be not afraid to come into the Holy of Holies with the living God. I will envelop you and reveal to you the mysteries of the kingdom. You will see the unseen in the Spirit and be given relevant words for this hour. All of this will be effortless on your part. Take care of My business, and I will take care of yours.

You are fearful to come into this deeper place because of the suffering you have endured. I am your portion and your cup, and I make your lot secure. I have placed your boundary lines in pleasant places, and you have a delightful inheritance.

Your prayers are breaking through and availing much. Because you have roused yourself, My power is being released. When someone is seeking after Me, circumstances align themselves according to My purposes.

Intercession

July 3, 2020 Filed Under: Whispers

Whispers 87

“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”

John 14: 13-14

Intercession and prayer are a holy call. I want My church to stand in the gap for this nation. I want you to push back the forces of evil through prayer. I will awaken prayer warriors, and they will hear My call. My protection will surround intercessors as they move forth in My Spirit. The Church has lack of understanding and experience in spiritual warfare, of overcoming forces of darkness through prayer and intercession. Harassment from the enemy will be bound as intercessors arise. I have declared My church will be called a house of prayer for all nations.

I have extended My authority to the church through the divine mystery of prayer for enforcing My purposes throughout the earth. I ask you to pray in My name according to My will and watch My sovereignty unfold upon the earth. As you pray and take the priestly and kingly authority I have given you, the church will be elevated to her highest call. My bride will sit with Me on the throne in heaven, which was God’s sovereign plan before creation. Take hold of the authority I have given you in prayer.

Your prayers are not intended to change My purposes but are rather a means through which I exercise My decrees. I accomplish My sovereignty in My time and in My way. Lay your need before Me, commit your way to Me, and lay it in My hands to deal with it as I deem best. It is your responsibility and privilege to ask for the blessings I have promised, purposed, and provided. Prayer is not about asking, but about an attitude of dependency upon Me where you lay out your need before Me, asking according to My will. As you pray and intercede, our communion and relationship grow deeper.

Prayer was designed by Me to allow you to exercise faith and receive spiritual blessings and as a means for growth and maturity. Prayer does not inform Me of what you need, for I know what you need before you ask, but rather is an acknowledgment to Me of your sense of need, which brings humility. I am honored in your asking and laying before Me your every concern. Prayer gives you opportunity to honor Me by coming to Me as the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity. Lay hold of My willingness to answer prayers according to My purposes. Prostrate your soul before Me and worship Me as you pray and intercede, and call out for My power and glory to descend into your life and the lives of others as you submit to My will.

Rouse yourself in prayer and weary yourself on My behalf, and you will see My sleeping church awaken and the dying world filled with My glory.

Prayer Is First Priority

July 2, 2020 Filed Under: Whispers

Whispers 48

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

James 5:16

My convicting power will set my captives free. I am knitting My church together for strategic purposes. My army is coming together, and My saber is rattling, for the day of the Lord is at hand. I am strategically placing every believer into position. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Make sure you take seriously the full armor of God so you can stand your ground.

Prevailing prayer is My most divine ministry. Only the Spirit can convey to you My heartbeat, My priorities, or the spiritual battle I call you to fight.

I am calling you to an in-depth study of prayer that will challenge you to mature in your relationship with Me. Make prayer a first priority, and let Me draw you into deeper intercession. Be willing to set aside the time and exercise discipline. Remove every hindrance in your life and make adjustments for prayer. Life will fall into place as you make these necessary adjustments and I take center stage.

Prayer unlocks prophetic promise. Step with firm confidence into each new day. Pray, plan, think, and seek counsel from godly mature believers.

Prophetic words that were spoken over you life in years past will be fulfilled at My perfect time. The fulfillment of those words will line up with My strategic plans for your life.

My words will not come back to Me void.

The Holy Spirit’s leading is necessary for powerful, effective prayer. No one can “muster up” effective prayer from within themselves.

Adventurous exploits await us as you experience the power of My name. Great redemptive acts await anyone who is willing to devote himself or herself to prayer.

Authority Of The Believer–Part 2

June 23, 2020 Filed Under: Spiritual

Yesterday, I posted Whisper 82, “Authority of the Believer.” In this post, I wanted to explain what this means for those of you who may not be sure.

When Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave His children the Holy Spirit to empower them and give them authority to deal with strongholds and powers of darkness in high places. That does not mean as a Christian you need to be bombarding the principalities of darkness over our country. God sends warring angels to fight and pull down these demonic entities. An example of a principality of darkness is in Daniel Chapter 10(Old Testament). The “prince over the kingdom of Persia” had withstood Daniel for 21-days. But Michael, one of the chief princes of God, came and fought the prince of darkness over Persia.

These powers of darkness are to never be confronted by individual believers, but rather to call on God to send warring angels or whatever means He chooses to fight these powers of darkness. God orchestrates the take-down of these national and regional strongholds.

He wants us to pray and stand in the gap pleading the blood of Jesus, crying out in Jesus’ Name, and praying scripture over situations and circumstances. Our prayers matter, and we should be praying more than ever before about the horrible things going on in our country. Fight in the Spirit realm and watch strongholds start to collapse.

If you are called to governmental intercession, or warfare prayer, it is important you learn from other experienced intercessors how to move in levels of advanced prayer. Do not go in where “angels fear to tread” and where you have no knowledge.

There are levels of prayer. Ask Jesus to take you deeper into intercession directed by the Holy Spirit.

Authority Of The Believer–Part 1

June 22, 2020 Filed Under: Spiritual

Whispers 82

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Ephesians 6:10-13

Rise up in the spiritual authority extended to you as a believer and follower of Jesus. Claim the power I have given to you by the Holy Spirit to wrestle with powers and forces of darkness that seek to destroy your life. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. All power in heaven and on earth reside in the name of Jesus. It is in My name that you take hold of the blessings of God and stand firm against the schemes of the enemy.

Take hold of the authority that is yours through My Word, prayer, and by speaking the power of My name many times a day. Let My name be constantly on your lips and in your heart. Take every thought captive to the mind of Christ by calling out and binding destructive or sinful thoughts in the name of Jesus. Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Rise up and take hold of all I have given you as My child, a joint heir in Christ. I have called you to be a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and I have given the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you loose is loosed.

Claim victory over situations in the name of Jesus daily and continually. Watch My power permeate your life, and blessings begin to flow. Learn to walk in authority and take hold of that for which I took hold of you.

Pastors, Wake Up!

September 6, 2016 Filed Under: Spiritual

I guess as we look at the chaos around us, it is easy to point a finger of blame. Of late, I have heard so many stories of some pastors bowing their knee to everything but God, that it has finely struck a nerve. So many politicians appear spineless, and some pastors are no exception.

Will the real pastors please stand up?

They refuse to stand up against anything the Word calls sin, because it isn’t politically correct. We can’t call prayer in churches, because someone might be offended if we pray for the President. The “myth of neutrality and fear of losing their 501c3 status is an excuse for their compromise.” (Mario Murillo)

Some churches have derailed as well as our nation due to concession!

It’s time for people to stand up, speak up, and get up and do something.

People go to the house of God (if they are fortunate enough to be able to get in the door due to COVID) and hear some irrelevant sermon and some goofy stories that have nothing to do with the crisis at hand or the Word of God.

Some pastors are buying into worthless ideologies, because they are just as deceived as many of us. Now is not the time to bow the knee to cultural demands, but rather time to take a strong stand for what God’s Word says.

We experience Godlessness in academia, media, courts of law, and politics, but pastors don’t want to offend anyone, so they remain silent.

I have watched this play out for decades. If pastors and people of faith don’t start speaking out against the radical ideologies in this country, we are going to end up in a place we don’t want to be. We cower in fear yet God says in Joshua 1 : 7

Our problem is we have deviated so much from God’s word, we are inclined to believe anything. To be honest, I would guess that some “Christians” haven’t even read it. So many Christians have no real standard by which they live, because their faith is wrapped up in the doctrines of men, and they don’t know who they are in Christ. I have taught Bible studies for decades, and most people showing up in the classes have been Christians for years, yet many have spent little time in the scriptures. How can that be?

We have lived such lukewarm Christian lives, we don’t know how to repent, nor do we know how to fast and pray. We are in some of the most dangerous days in our history as a country and so many Christians don’t even know how to pray. I haven’t heard a pastor pray and cry out to God from the pulpit in over 25 years.

It’s time for pastors and believers to wake up and stop playing “church games.” I have often wondered in the past months, if God shut the church doors due to COVID because he was weary of the nonsense going on in some churches.

In the Old Testament, God allowed the magnificent Temple of Solomon to be burned to the ground along with Jerusalem, because His people would not repent and turn from wicked ways.

God is standing at the door and knocking and waiting for America to repent and turn to Him. Only God can deliver us from the place in which we have found ourselves.

The battle for America will only be won on our knees in prayer. God alone can bring repentance and revival to our broken and desperate land. Join Him in what He is doing in our nation!
