Month: August 2024

Wow, the enemy is not happy with what God is doing. Nate Johnston is speaking about witchcraft that has been loosed; John Castleman is sharing how the attack has come to his neighborhood; Lou Engle is calling for 90 days of prayer; Emma Stark is speaking into it. These are not past videos, these are this week videos, all saying the same thing, all experiencing the same attack, the same assault, the same invasion of the enemy in a very real way.

It is easy to think it is you. You said something wrong, you did something wrong, you are just dealing with the outcome of some bad choice you made, but this is not that, this is an all out assault on God’s people. It is not political it is spiritual. Whew, can you feel it, are you experiencing it?

On Monday morning I had three encounters with spiders. The first one was on my window screen right at eye level of where I sit at my desk every day. Then not long after there was a small black spider on my wall right where my desk is facing crawling along. Then I took the dog for a walk and as I was about to go out the gate, there was a web from bush to bush with a huge fat black spider right at eye level in the middle of the web. If I didn’t look up, I would not have seen it. Three spiders, different locations, same day. I knew it meant something but what I did not know.

Spiders prophetically represents a deceiver, a web of lies; threat; evil spirit; oh if I would have took notice at the moment of these three spiders and began to pray and break their announcement before they could attack. I learned a lesson this week, the Lord reveals ahead of time what is coming so we can shoot it down before it rises up. What a hard lesson to learn, because this attack has been different than others and many are feeling it.

I squished the small black spider on the wall, I sliced through the web and went out the gate, and the one on the window went away, but what they came to do is here. Friends don’t give up what you value when the enemy is on the scene, we must learn to link arms in the battle for one can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand to flight. We need each other for the attack is real and it is fierce.

In 2015 the Lord spoke to me and said, “I have plenty of people above ground, but very few people who are willing to go underground. Will you go underground so I can heal this land?” I remember exactly where I was when the Lord asked me to go underground. I gave Him a very quick reply, I said, yes I would. I did not know exactly what that would mean at the time, but being underground led me to learn how to do what I call prophetic adventures.

A prophetic adventure is where you are reading the word of God and the Lord highlights something and invites you to act on what you read. For me it began with reading Genesis 26 where it speaks of Isaac redigging his father Abrahams wells, because the Philistines had thrown dirt in them. Spiritually this looked like me going to various locations and praying on location for whatever happened there and asking the Lord to do it again.

Missouri has had many moves of God, so I went to Smithton, MO to the little country church that saw the power of God; I then went to Concordia, MO where Kathryn Kuhlman was born and prayed for a well of healing to spring up; I went to other places in Missouri where AA Allen had tent meetings. I also traveled to Oklahoma where William Brahmam had a school; to Azusa Street in CA where William Seymour saw an outpouring; to Indiana where Marie Woodworth Etter had tent meetings. Location after location to redig wells and ask for the Lord to heal our land.

Another thing the Lord invited me to do was salt rivers according to 2 Kings 2 and decree neither death nor barrenness would be in the land any longer. I was invited to blow the shofar and make a salvation declaration for our land. Adventure after adventure after adventure. Then Gina Gholston through Dutch Sheets invited us to paint the borders of our states. All this underground work was done per the voice of the Lord by many Intercessors around the nation.

Then this morning I am reading 2 Samuel 24:21 and it says, “Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be averted from the people.” King David did a prophetic act and 2 Samuel 24:25 says, “So the LORD responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was averted from Israel.”

I know the work that has been done underground, this is why I am so confident in the deliverance of our nation by God. The Lord is responding to all the work that was done when no one was looking. America is being saved not destroyed, fear not!

It is going to look one way, but it is going to be something completely different, your eyes are going to deceive you based on your history because it is a mystery. The Lord is about to reveal a mystery of reversal of the likes we did not know was possible. It is going to look strikingly similar to past situations, but the outcome is going to be completely different. If you listen to the fear mongers, the dooms day speakers, you will be paralyzed in the mystery of prosperity that is unfolding right before your eyes.

When Jesus said in Matthew 24 all the shaking that would happen from earthquakes to wars, He was not fear mongering, He was telling His people who had ears to hear that He was shaking out the powers, principalities and rulers, for the kingdom of God was coming in with righteousness, justice and peace. Most missed it because it looked like another enemy invasion, but it was a kingdom expansion.

The Bible is clear that the Lord comes in the storm clouds, He descended on Sinai, as well as in the upper room in fire; He came like a flood in Genesis and He comes in water while Jesus is being baptized in water. Friends, it may look similar to something you have seen before, but the results are going to be so different. God is coming to rescue, restore and rekindle, not to destroy us. It is going to be a mystery and many will miss it as it is actually happening, but I am telling you, this is going to be epic.

Psalm 126 is what we are going to experience, “When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy!” It is Psalm 126 time!!!!!

As our children go back to school today, we as parents need to make a decree according to Psalm 125, “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore. For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong.”

The enemy is such a coward he will attack children, teenagers, young adults, anyone who is spiritually not able to see his tactics. We who know our God, must decree over our schools, that the Lord is surrounding our children from this time forth and forevermore. We must decree the scepter of wickedness will not, shall not, can not rest on the land allotted to us the righteous. This is our decree and we will see our children thrive, blossom, even advance the kingdom in their schools.

The school system is a harvest field and many of us have sent our workers out into this field. Now we must pray, we must decree, we must add our authority to them as they go into the harvest field. The fields are white unto harvest, we know this; Christ in our kids is greater than he that is in the world, we know this; there is no junior Holy Spirit, we know this; so we decree Psalm, 125 over our children today.

We declare healing is in their hands; power is in their mouths; purity is in their eyes; discernment is in their ears; and God is with them in every school around the nation. We decree no weapon formed against them shall prosper, no tongue that rises up against them in judgment shall prevail. We decree they are the head and not the tail; they are generous with their words of life; they will be able to discern good and evil.

It is going to be a year of reaping the harvest in schools this year and our children are the workers. This is a multigenerational move of God and it has begun. They were born for such a time as this. Fear not, for the Lord our God is with them, in Jesus name.

A decree has been made from the throne room in heaven. The Lord has spoken and He is making an announcement today for all to hear. This decree is from heaven to earth, “The snare is broken, and we have escaped!” Says the Lord. I can’t explain it, I can’t show it to you in real time, but the Lord has made a decree and it cannot be changed. “The snare is broken and we have escaped.”

I was praying Psalm 124 this morning and it says, “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, then they would have swallowed us up alive. Then the flood would have swept us away. Then over us would have gone the raging waters.” I believe it was getting very precarious in a way we will never understand, because the Lord did not allow the enemy to have his way with us. I believe we have been saved from some situations that sought to destroy us, but God.

As I continued to pray, I read verse 7 and it says, “We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!” Immediately I heard a herald from heaven decree, “The snare is broken and we have escaped” says the Lord of hosts. Oh my friends, the Lord is on our side, He is not against us, He is for us, personally, locally, nationally, internationally. He has made a decree and now we will see that the snare is broken and we have been set free.

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, gratitude in my heart and ears burning as the voice of God spoke with such clarity, such confidence, such authority, “The snare is broken and we have escaped!” All I can do is rejoice, celebrate and declare to you what He has spoken to me. We will see what He has said, it is just a matter of time.

Momentum is a powerful force that can work to our advantage or it can become a hinderance to the direction we are needing to go. Momentum comes as we pick up speed in a certain direction through habits. To stop momentum is to stop doing what you have been doing, to consciously bring to a halt and activity, direction, or speed in which you have been going for weeks, months or even years. This is not easy, but it is necessary.

We can get so caught up in momentum, that we cease to obey the whisper, to feel the touch, or acknowledge the person right in front of us. Our schedules drive us from one thing to the next, the news cycles hook us on one story after another. We know we are not living a life of abundance, we know were are busy, but are we productive? We know we are cruising along through life, but are we loving the journey or the passengers riding with us?

Selah is a biblical word that means to pause, to stop, to rest, it is not a permanent word, but it does invite you to pull over for a minute, recalibrate, identify what is working and what needs to change. The Bible references a Sabbath day, this is a Selah and it is not a punishment, it is a gift for those who will receive it.

Psalm 123 says, “To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.”

Many people are running tired, and the Holy Spirit is inviting you to lift up your eyes. When you see His face, it softens your heart because He is so strong and gives you the confidence that you are not alone. Selah my friends, Selah. God is not shaken by all that is shaking, Selah; He wants you to know you are not alone.

The theme is getting stronger and stronger every day. God is changing the guard, but not just the physical guard, meaning one man for one man, but He is changing the guard on a heart level of the likes we will need to adjust to. We have been under controlling, oppressive, self-seeking leadership for so long, we will not know how to trust the new leaders, for they are going to have hearts of generosity of the likes we are not accustomed to.

I have been amazed at how many people were replace in the book of 2 Samuel under David’s leadership. King David replaced King Saul, this was a huge shift and many in the church have preached and prophesied this kingly change. But many other changes of leadership happened as well and they were all heart level changes.

Saul had a heart to kill David, David had a heart to spare Saul.

Mephibosheth had a heart to let David and his men hunger in the wilderness, Ziba had a heart to resource the men with food, drink and supply while they were on the run. (2 Samuel 16)

Ahithophel advised Absalom to sleep with all of David’s concubines in broad daylight, while Hushai advised Absalom to bring all the people together in person. (2 Samuel 17)

Joab had Absalom killed for he considered David’s son an enemy of the kingdom, but Amasa wanted to spare Absalom per the orders of David. (2 Samuel 19).

David replaced Saul as king of Israel; Ziba replaced Mephibosheth as distributor of resources; Hushai replaced Ahithophel as counselor to the king; and Amasa replaced Joab as commander of the army. And we must not forget how in Isaiah 22 says Eliakim replaced Shebna as the one in charge of the royal house.

God is placing new leaders in positions of authority and they will rule with righteousness and generosity; with kindness and compassion; with truth and justice; with hope and peace. We are going to be ruled by lovers of God and lovers of people. It is the changing of the guard on a heart level we have never seen before and it is happening right now.

In no uncertain terms I heard the words, “NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME!” It was so clear, I could not deny what the Lord was saying, but the question I had was the appointed time for what? We can hear something from the Lord and assume we know what He is talking about, but unless we ask Him questions, we may assume one thing and He is saying another thing. The appointed time for what, is the question I needed answerered before declaring to you, NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME.

Isaiah 49:8-9 says, “Thus says the LORD: In an acceptable time I have heard You, And in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You and give You As a covenant to the people, To restore the earth, To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages; That You may say to the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’”

NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME for the salvation of the nations; for us to cut covenant with God alone; to restore the earth; to inherit desolate hearitages; to say to prisoners, go free and to those in darkness, show yourselves. This is what time it is. We are no longer waiting, we are now working. We work by making decrees, we work by speaking up, we work by consecrating ourselves, it is harvest time, it is the appointed time, it is now time.

We have been told Isaiah 61, arise and shine, but it is also Psalm 68, let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Friends, NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME! For salvation of a nation, deliverance of people, freedom for captives, favor to rest on you, prosperity to locate you, power to envelop you, and healing to consume you. We are not waiting any longer, NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME, says the Lord!
