Fifth generation warfare is psychological warfare. Is it any wonder we have more mental illnesses in this generation than past ones? It is a narrative war, which narrative will you believe? Which narrative is right? There are so many things changing at such a rapid pace, people are struggling to know what to believe, who to believe, where to look, who to listen to. No wonder apathy sets in for some, but excitement for others. We are living in a shift on earth that is remarkable.

What if there is a place of peace the Lord is trying to help us find, but we are so busy shadowboxing with all that is being said, we are missing what God is saying? While walking the dog this morning the Lord spoke to me the words, “Existence precedes exposure.” I immediately entered into a time of learning as the Holy Spirit broke down for me how to live in what exists so we are not moved by what is being exposed (revealed).

Everything existed before it was exposed. Jesus existed before the foundation of the world (Colossians 1:17) (John 1:1-3); the earth existed before we could see it, before light was declared (Genesis 1:2-3); land existed before God separated the waters (Genesis 1:9-10); actually everything we see existed before it was exposed, made visible (Revelation 4:11). No wonder it says in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.”

Faith sees what exists before it is exposed. Our challenge is, we live from exposure not existence, which is why we are tossed to and fro by everything as it gets exposed. Then add “prophetic” people who speak what is exposed and call it prophesy. Biblical prophets speak what exisits before it is exposed.

The Lord is inviting us into a place of seeing what exists, so we are not shaken, moved, or confused by what is being exposed. If we would see what exists, we would sing, “You reign above it all, you reign above it all; over the universe and over every heart; there is no higher name, Jesus you reign, above it all.” And we would not be subject to the psychological warfare of what is being exposed. Existence precedes exposure, if you are able to see and hear what exists so you are not shaken by what is being exposed. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Israel spent 430 year in Egyptian exile; Zerubbable, as found in Zechariah, means, born in Babylon. 5 generations were born in Egypt, people were born in Babylon, they only knew exile, they only knew captivity. These people have ancient history, oral tradition and so much experience. America is not even 300 years old yet, and we think we know more than they do. We think we understand millennia of history about a people because they created a state of Israel in 1948. Oh friends, we need to employ humility.

Religion is a matrix and is very hard to get out of. Some of the reasons it is so challenging to escape is because many have been born into religion, which is why Jesus says in John 2, we need to be born again. Religion is hard to escape because when you break free from its matrix, people you love who are in it, think you are a heretic, crazy or rebellious. But Jesus said, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). The challenge is people in the religious matrix have been programmed to believe they are free and you are not.

The cure for humanity called Christianity is humility. Jesus said in Mark 10:45, for the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many. His humility was obvious, but His truth was never compromised. The religious matrix in Jerusalem was so deeply entrenched that when He healed on the Sabbath they called him a lawbreaker; when He spoke truth they called Him a liar; and when He cast out demons they called Him Beelzebub, the chief of demons. Religion hates freedom, which is why it keeps people held captive and calls them free.

For those who have broken out of the religious matrix, keep preaching truth and remember if you are persecuted from righteousness sake, you are blessed 1 Peter says. There is a breaking of the matrix happening, just like there was a Passover which led to freeing people from Egypt. There is an end date for Babylonian captivity, at least that is what Jeremiah said, and we are in this time frame on God’s calendar. We are about to see a massive awakening to the truth of the matrix, that is breaking and setting people free. These are truly biblical times. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Six weeks ago the Lord spoke to me and said, “I want you to go to Communion America in DC because this is the first altar being built in America since the enemy occupation has ended.” I asked are you sure, for the Lord did not allow me to go the Million Women March the year before, of which I wanted to go. He said, “Yes, I need you to lay your hands on that altar that is being built.”

This past weekend, I was in DC for the Communion America event on the National Mall. We arrived Thursday morning and the first session was Thursday night. The presence of God in worship was felt as I stood with others outside declaring Let It Rain, Open the Floodgates of Heaven. Hands raised, voices raised, heavens above us, it was a powerful first night.

Friday was a free day, full of sight seeing locations and destinations in the DC area. It was a fun, long, free day with friends. Then on Saturday we got to the Mall at 2:30pm for the kickoff of the Communion Event. Over 50 tents (booths) lined one side of the mall with every state doing 24/7 worship; the other side of the mall had a table from the Capital to the National Monument. It was a sight to see.

We found our state and then marked our seats at the table across from the TN/Texas tent. While taking it all in, the Lord spoke to me and said, “This is the first feast of tabernacles event America has ever done as a nation. The states all have booths, the tribes of Israel did the same thing.” We then heard music playing, so walked towards it and there was a group of Nigerians singing and dancing, so we joined in as my husband is Nigerian. We were welcomed immediately.

What a day it was. One observation I made was, we declared mercy, but we as American Christian leaders know how to lead in repentance but we don’t know how to celebrate all God has done and is doing. This was a feast, communion was not a sad event, but a festive one and the church has to learn to celebrate. God has heard our prayers, answered our prayers and is healing our land. We must learn to celebrate.

Psalm 103:9, 11 says, “You don’t look at us only to find our faults, just so that you can hold a grudge against us. Higher than the highest heavens— that’s how high your tender mercy extends!” We need to rejoice, for God is saving the nations, hostages are being released, peace is happening in the Middle East, nations are rejoicing, we must learn to rejoice for God has answered our prayers.

Being in DC this weekend with a friend who was here one year ago has been extremely enlightening. So often we go to war, but we never go back to see what the win looks like, sounds like, smells like. One million women march happened on the National Mall last year. They tore down an altar to Ishtar at that event, and what they did, along with the prayers of so many other people has truly transformed our nations capital.

She has been telling us about how dirty and dangerous it used to be here and now it is peaceful, clean and beautiful. The atmosphere is electric with possibility and hope, the people are kind, the city is alive. Seeing this city through her eyes has been amazing, for I haven’t been here in 14 years, but she was here just one year ago. Oh the power of the prayers of a church that wants to build the kingdom of God on earth and bless cities.

Proverbs 11 says, “Those who live to bless others will have blessings heaped upon them, and the one who pours out his life to pour out blessings will be saturated with favor.”

The church has been a prayer warrior and our prayers have been answered. This does not mean we stop praying, but we are no longer uprooting, tearing down and destroying the works of the enemy, now we are called to be building and planting the works of God on earth as in heaven. Now we will see healing, rebuilding of ruined cities, restoring families, returning prodigals. The season has shifted, we must shift with it.

Today, we are going to sit at a two mile long communion table on the national mall, a table of reconcilliation of states, cities, nations, people. We will sit across from people we do not know, we will bless other people, ministries, families, cities, churches, communities. What a difference a year makes. What a mighty God we serve, who answers the prayers of His people. What a responsibility we have to shift from warring to building. It is time to build and bless cities, states, nations.

A few years back my son was a big Marvel fan, so when Infinity War came out, he and his friend wanted to go, so I took them. I hated that movie, because it was a battle from the first scene to the last scene. We walked out of there and I said, son what was that all about? He said, mom it is called Infinity War. I said, that was the worst movie I have ever seen. War from start to finish, no end, just fighting and battles from the beginning to the end.

I share that story from years ago, because we have been born into a war, but the war is over. Yes the war is over. On Yom Kippur this year, the Lord spoke to me and said, “The war is over, you are safe again.” I thought it was personal, but since being in DC the past couple days, the Lord has shown me that what He said, was not just personal but International. “The war is over!”

We went to Fox News studio yesterday on a private tour and we spoke to the executive producer, who is a a relative of a friend of mine. She shared stories that are upcoming and it confirmed to me, “The war is over! We are safe again.” The atmosphere of this city is peaceful. The people are kind, it is not what I expected.

An Uber ride last night is what solidified this for me from the Lord. Our driver was Palestinian, born in Hebron, West Bank, Gaza. He had Arabic news on his phone and we talked about what is happening between Israel and Gaza. With tears in his eyes, he shared how the peace deal was going to be signed, hostages were going to be returned and how peace was being restored. He is an older man and this was real for him.

When we want to prophecy an infinity war that never ends, we are not hearing what the Spirit is saying right now. When we fear this is fake peace, we are not on the right narrative and we will be on the wrong side of history. The Lord said, on Yom Kippur 5786, “The war is over, the slate is clean, we are safe again.”

We must learn to live in peace for the war is over. We are going learn many new things as we are no longer in war. The narrative has changed, some will resist it and not believe it, but it will not change it, “The war is over!” Proverbs 10 says, “The beautiful ways of God are a safe resting place
for those who have integrity. “ Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

In 1999 I went to a revival in Missouri and my life changed forever. I saw, heard and experienced things I had never known before. I was blessed with some of the best friends in the world, I was trained by one of the best apostolic leaders I know and I carry inside of me the seeds of those years.

Like with anything we cannot live our lives from a moment in our history, we must build on what we have learned, we must continue to grow in our walk with the Lord, no matter how powerful a time in our history was. If we stop and camp at one encounter, even if that encountered lasted years, we must continue listening, learning, loving and leaning into the Lord.

This morning the Lord built upon that which I learned in that revival, but showing me that it is not about pulling something down from heaven, but about pouring something out that is already in me. This is a huge paradigm shift for me, for I was trained to pull it down and God is saying, pour it out.

Proverbs 8 with Wisdom speaking says, “What I impart has greater worth than gold and treasure, and the increase I bring benefits more than a windfall of income. I lead you into the ways of righteousness to discover the paths of true justice. Those who love me gain great wealth and a glorious inheritance, and I will fill their lives with treasures.”

The paradigm shift for me is that this is in me, therefore, God is wanting it to come through me, to come out of me, for people need what God has put in me. I do not have to pull it down, I need to pour it out. Friends, we need to quit looking up to heaven for something to come down and ask the Lord how do I pour out what you have planted within?

We are a walking treasure chest of the glory of God on earth, now we need to pour out what He has put in us. Christ in you is the hope of glory. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are a son/daughter of God. You are wealthier than you recognize, so you can be more generous than you think. We must repent of waiting for something to come down upon us and change the way we think to something that is to come out of us. The kingdom of God is at hand. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Yesterday while in Murphy, NC for a prophetic adventure, staking claim for the salvation of the nations, we went into a gift shop on site at the location we were at. While in that gift shop, I found a compact Bible, and I opened it randomly to Isaiah 33 and my eyes fell on the words “Ambassadors of Peace.” 

We left the gift shop, but the words “Ambassadors of Peace” would not leave my mind. Then the words of Paul in Romans 16 flooded my thoughts, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under His feet.” Jesus is the Prince of Peace and with all the peace talks happening, I am honestly surprised at how anti-peace many Christians are. 

When war is in our hearts, peace cannot rule over us. People who are not healed are familiar with and okay with war. Wounded people are warriors, because they are not healed enough to enter into peace. Peace feels passive, vulnerable, to people who are wounded. Peace is hard to access if you are wounded, this is why God wants to heal His people. 

Jesus never went to war with people or the enemy. Jesus remained in peace and through peace He crushed the head of Satan. Peace is a powerful weapon, for in peace you are not moved by circumstances or situations. We as the body of Christ have been so dipped in Matthew 24 wars and rumors of wars, we cannot enter into Romans 16 and Isaiah 33, to let the God of peace make us ambassadors of peace. 

Friends, peace is not a precursor to some Ezekiel 38 war. When peace makes you afraid of a looming war, your theology is off. Jesus Christ declared it is finished. He is the Prince of Peace and we are to be ambassadors of peace, but we must allow the Lord to healus. 

We must embrace the man of peace and stop living in fear of some Armageddon war that is coming. Babylon is falling not rising, fear not my friends, this peace is not some precursor to a war, it the way of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Www.apsotolicresourcecenter.org

I was walking the dog this morning and on my path I found two white washcloths. We live on a private road, but there is enough traffic with a church at the bottom of the hill, apartments across the street and another neighborhood next to ours. So finding things on this road is common for me, but it has been awhile, so when I saw these two white washcloths I picked them up and headed home.

As I was walking home, pondering my latest find, the Holy Spirit whispered to me in regards to the washcloths, “Washed white as snow.” I knew this was a nod to Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they will be like wool.”

What I learned about this verse is referring to God taking Israel as a nation to court, seeking reconciliation with them as a nation. This struck me, for I have read those verses as an individual not as a nation. These verses are about national cleansing and temple restoration. It is a connection to Yom Kippur.

Chat GPT said, “Two white washcloths, prophetically speaks of witness, completion or two dimensions of cleansing, it is heaven and earth agreeing. (Deuteronomy 19:5). On Yom Kippur, the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies dressed in simple white linen, symbolizing humility and cleansing. After the atonement ritual, Israel waited for the scarlet thread tied outside the Temple to turn white — a sign from heaven that God had accepted their repentance (Isaiah 1:18’s imagery directly echoes this ritual). Your finding of two white washcloths is like a quiet echo of that — a visible token of accepted cleansing and a renewed invitation to intimacy with God’s presence.”

I sense finding these two white washcloths is God declaring national atonement and temple restoration. With all the words of staking our claim, connecting heaven and earth in 5786; Communion America happening this week in Washington; and today starting Feast of Tabernacles; I believe we have been given a clean slate and now we write a new story of God’s glory. Wow, what a morning. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

The world is on the hunt for the new currency as they fear the fall of the old Babylonian financial system. Many people are trying to invest in what they think is the new incoming system, so they can capitalize financially on what may manifest in the very near future.

People are willing to research, risk and retreat all for money, but where are the people who are not heroes at financial predictions, or market analysis, but who are able to see the invisible because they have faith in an unseen God? Where are the men and women who are risking it all to follow Him no matter the personal cost to them?

Reading Hebrews 11 is sobering, because we love to talk like we are Joseph, Esther, Moses, Deborah, David, Samuel, Jael, or Solomon, but to be Iike them, we have to do what they did. Our identity with someone in history is not about a hope, but about an actually walking the way they walked with God.

Listen to what Hebrews 11:27 says about Moses, “He found his true wealth in suffering abuse for being anointed, more than in anything the world could offer him, for his eyes looked with wonder not on the immediate, but on the ultimate—faith’s great reward!”

If we are going to be apart of a deliverance company of nations, as Moses was, we must be willing to not suffer for being anointed. We must long not to be rich and famous, but to be faithful in all our ways. We can’t be moved by what we see in the moment, but we must have eyes to see the light shining in the darkness.

God is delivering the nations by the prayers and prophetic acts of those who people don’t see, don’t know by name. They are the Navy Seals, Green Berets, 82nd Airborne in the spirit and they have been and continue to take ground for the kingdom of God on earth. Faith sees what the news does not announce. Can you see the deliverance of nations happening right now? It’s never too late to join in. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Cultural Christianity is not equal to Biblical Christianity. Every culture has certain modes of operation and if we are born into that culture we do not recognize in ourselves how cultural we actually are. When we fully enter, not just visit or vacation, in another culture, but actually live there, we realize how cultural we are and how cultural they are.

When I moved to Malaysia in August 2004, the first three months, was vacation, it was fun, adventurous, everything was new, I loved it. So when God spoke to me to move there, I came back to the US in December 2004, packed my room, notified my housemates and off I went to live in another country.

After living there for nine years, I realized many things about myself and about the nation of Malaysia. My frustrations came from culture clashes, for America did not fit into Malaysian culture and Malaysian culture was not conforming to American me. One of us had to submit, if we were going to live peacefully together.

I chose to live in their culture, so I surrendered to the way they did things, rather than fighting with them, because they were not American in their return policies, offering of water for free while eating out, or whatever other cultural challenge I faced.

The same is true in Biblical Christianity. We as believers, no matter our cultural background, have tried to get Biblical culture to fit into our culture and it will not conform to us, we must submit to it, for us to live peacefully in the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

Proverbs 3:11 says, “My child, when the Lord God speaks to you, never take his words lightly!”

When we submit to God’s culture, kingdom and Word, we will find ourselves loving life everyday, living abundantly and forgiving quickly and freely. Friends, your battle is not demonic, it is cultural and until you submit to Biblical culture, your cultural Christianity will try to force God’s hand and He is not changing, for He is God and we are not. Conform to Him it is so peaceful. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
