The Prophetic Macedonian Call

The LORD says, “I have given My Servant this message for you. You can accept it or reject it.”

“I have given My Servant this message for you. You can accept it or reject it.

If you reject it, and not heed The Macedonian Call, you’ll continue to walk in your own limited way and on your limited path, and you will follow your own limited purposes.

But if you heed The Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia, there will be an incredible launching of Revival beyond your wildest dreams or imagination!

If you reject The Macedonian Call to Lee County VA, I will raise another, but this major opportunity will pass you by.

I AM giving you an open window of time, act quickly and begin to pray and fast if this bears witness, says The LORD God Almighty.”

I awoke at 4:00 am and The LORD urged me to write. I was troubled and beside myself, upset with tears, as I felt so helpless and in desperate wrestling for this region!

I have lived here 21 years as a licensed ordained minister with no help, no Church, but I tried a few times to reach out, to no avail.

These were such hard times of silence when I was so hopeless, discouraged, and despaired of life itself and ended up backslid several times. Having no Church, no fellowship, took its toll on my soul.

It is hard to progress forward when you have nothing to progress for. Maybe someone can identify with me in this statement.

I have written “Catch of The Day” since 1998 and that was my only outlet of giving out what was written within me!

I see so much and I know what He can do through me, but I am limited in my locality. There were a few times I was able to get away for ministry purposes, but ended up right back here, in the midst of a valley of dead, dry bones.

I thank God he gave me the outlet of the internet or I felt I would have died here, rich in Spirit but dry to the bone.

I was very hopeful a few months back, as I thought God had opened a door into a House Church, but The LORD closed that door suddenly.

I am accountable and responsible to my apostle and mentor, Durussia O Jenkins of DPM as while I was out of town, I was confronted concerning that door. For what door God shuts no man can open, and what door God opens no man can shut.

I have been rejected by every Church in the area I have gone to. I was especially shocked in my experience, that 99% of the people you come across couldn’t receive from me, because I am a woman minister.

People are very shallow and superficial in their lives and many only scratch the surface, like chickens scratch for bugs and worms, instead of deeply mounting up as an eagle until they clearly see from what is above!

The region has a strong hold of religion and is flooded by many religious spirits. Every known Pentecostal Church I went to rejected me in this region.

In this region, there are very many Baptist Churches, 2 Methodist, many Church of God based out of Cleveland TN and Church of God of Prophecy (which this denomination is the result of a split in Church of God), 1st Christian Church, 1 Catholic, 1 Jehovah Witness, also a few Pentecostal Holiness, and a Church “that handles snakes!” I don’t want to go there!

No Assembly of God Churches and none that I know of that are non-denominational.

I remember a few of them, but they are no longer where they were, or they are closed. I came through Lee County VA in the 1980’s when Revival was in St Charles VA. (A coal mining community ghost town)

This REGION is the “Mid-Point” in the Appalachian Chain Mountain Range. This is The Center and the Very Heart of this mountain range. If you have ever heard of ‘Hillbillies’— you are in the general vicinity!

However, I will continue to fast, pray, and search further to find out who would be interested in this vision and helping us with The Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia locally.

In my experiences here in America, and having traveled the USA and the globe in the Military, I have learned a whole lot about global perception and unity. In the 21 years I have lived here, I have watched and witnessed this region well.

To give you an idea of the condition and maturity level of the people; the majority have NOT moved on with God’s Glory Cloud!

I sense that most are still living 20 or more years behind the rest of the advancing Church. The majority are dried up religious shrines with dead men’s graves in traditional memorial fashions.

They call this the Bible Belt? You can’t keep a belt up on a skeleton, nor can a skeleton hold a Bible!

There had been the beginnings of Revival Fire in this area in the 1980’s, but the pastor confessed he did not know what to do with it. (The way I understood it was, he didn’t know what to do with the Revival to maintain it)

The Pastor and his family moved away. When he moved away, the Revival died and the people were chaotic, confused, and many wandered.

Then some found religious Churches, others I know of, left the Churches all together having no place to find rest in God.

I have seen many visions of bleating sheep and lambs scattered all over the mountains and valleys here, seeking refuge and care.

Many during that Revival were saved, delivered, healed, and filled with The Holy Ghost but when the Revival died, there was no discipleship training, no nest to grow in, or a field of ministry by streams of water. (Psalm 23)

Historically, Revivals prepared God’s People for hard times coming. Revival comes to a wayward, asleep, or dead Church with a sound to wake up and a great shaking and conviction to Repent!

I had heard that the Revival was compared to a Brownsville type of Revival. The Pastor confessed and taught that the 5-fold Ministry was needed to accomplish the work. (Ephesians 4)

He was a visionary, as the 5-fold Ministry had not come into play yet in this region. It will take the entire 5-fold Ministry to maintain end-time Revival.

Not just one or two, it will take having all 5 offices in operation. The fullness of the Godhead bodily.

The office of the Apostle like Paul was, the office of the Prophet like Agabus was, there are many offices of Pastor, Teacher and Evangelist.

“I therefore, the prisoner of The LORD, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism,One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:4-16 KJV emphasis added.

I have not met anyone here who walks in the office of a Prophet or an Apostle. I know there could be one or more, but I have never met any the whole time I have lived here.

I have witnessed pastors, teachers, and evangelists and the revivals they do are little 3-or 5-day meetings where they get the people hyped up and then they go back to living the way they always have. I have seen no soul winning, or true revival in this region in 21 years.

I was told that Paul Yonggi Cho, of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul in Korea prophesied that a Great Revival will break out in this region.

The LORD told me that this area and region is like an outreach mission area, and we NEED missionaries who hear the sound of The Macedonian Call!

We need those who are sold out to Jesus, to be servants in reaching this region and to help us win souls, and plant Churches. Coming to this region is like stepping into another country.

Over the years, I have tried to leave here on several occasions only to be back within several months.

DPM (Dunamis Power Ministries, in conjunction with several other ministries and many various donations of food, favor, and prayer, you name it!)

We went into Hamilton NC in July 1996 and met them where they were, with a tent for 7 days and Revival broke out, yet the Revival did not remain.

Going into that region where Hamilton NC felt like we entered into a time warp and third world country. I truly believe that the way and effect of that outreach was a test and trial run of what’s to come!

Will you hear the sound of His Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia? Blow the shofar Irene!

I know a close and dear co-laborer friend of mine in Malawi Africa. Since we met online, the Anointing and Power has been released in them, and they just started experiencing crusades and souls being saved, delivered of demons, and healed, Church growth, and provisions.

This dear man of God is my #1 Prayer Warrior in my life! Why? Because when he says he fasts and prays for me, he means it! Things happen!

We are spiritually and ministerial connected in a deeper way!

They know I am desperate for the souls in this region and the condition of The Church here to break the stronghold of religion.

This man of God and his family and Church are fasting and praying for Me, the Ministry, DPM, and this REGION for a Major Breakthrough and Release of God’s Power to bring Revival here to breakthrough in Lee County!

Sometimes I ask God to take me to Malawi, because the people there are hungry and they want God and are open to The Gospel!

America is fat, sassy, asleep, and snoring away in their comfort, ease, and entertainment!

“For thus says The LORD God, My Call is beyond your own strength, space, and purpose, for this is an outreach for the manifestation of the fullness of the Godhead bodily!

I have a path and plan laid out for all those who hear the sound of My Voice! I AM sounding!

Shall you Hear, Rally, and Come Together Again in My Divine Order? I Shall blast My Sound in the airwaves and Provoke You to React, then to Act!”

In a Vision, I see a very large, strong, streamlined, sleek, and a very different type of powerful Rocket that will push a spacecraft way beyond what has been our limited means.

This Rocker Power will blast past anything we have ever known or seen in this life, or in the history of the Church.

I knew within myself that this is a call to those within and connected to DPM! But not limited to only them but to whomever shall come.

This Vision is for whoever hears the Call!

This Vision was a description of what GOD will do and what it will take for a number of us in various States and Ministries to come together and align to help!

If we HEAR and OBEY HIS Voice in this Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia, The LORD is going to launch Revival in this region!

In a Vision, I saw this Powerful Rocket Igniting for TAKEOFF and to sequence the time for launch!

“It is the time to come into alignment to take the Nation. I AM calling forth My Five-fold Ministry of Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, and Evangelist to come into agreement and become one for this Macedonian Call into Lee County Virginia in the Spring of 2022.”

I see the various separation sequences of Orion traveling the universe, being able to land on an asteroid and to travel to Mars.

In 1986 we saw the spacecraft Challenger fail 73 seconds after takeoff. The right rocket weakened, failed, and tore apart resulting in a flood of liquid oxygen and hydrogen creating a huge fireball as it fell into the ocean killing all seven astronauts.

In the past, the rocket ignition, or the ministry Challenge failed to be carried upward and the right-hand rocket or, the right-hand man had been weakened, failed, and tore apart and compromised the total challenge.

Each part of the plan must be in place for proper ignition and lift off and for continuing onward, and upward! It will take ALL parts of the ministry to come together!

The challenge isn’t a one man show, or even a one ministry event, it will TAKE ALL parts to various ministries that will come together and be who you are in the fullness of the Godhead bodily!

We’ve got to be launched together, before we can go onward and upward! Hear the sound!

“The hour is late, and I have given you The Macedonian Call to Lee County VA.

My Spirit prays for you. Please don’t fail me now. Millions are crying out.”

Come over here and help us find Jesus!

Help us find Hope and Joy, help us find Peace and Love, the Grace you show, and we need The Light of The Gospel!

We need Healing, Freedom; we need Deliverance! Please come and help us! Please come over here and help us! We need Jesus!

I pray that you hear and heed The Macedonian Call.

If we deny this call, God will raise up someone else to heed His call.

Be still and get quiet and listen to the depth of your soul. Haven’t you felt His power upon you as you read this? Will you walk after Jesus?

He tells us that we will not be defeated and He will lift you, and you will see light on the darkest of nights. He will be with you and He will use you in this final hour to reap the harvest before it’s too late!

If you hear this call, please contact me with all your information, because it is strictly by Faith.

We do not have the financial ability to do any of it — but we have feet and hands that move and do!

Let us know what you can do!

And please — Pray for us!

Thank you kindly and God bless.

Unlocking Regions to Cross Over

The LORD says, “It is the hour to ‘cross over’ to possess and take the land of promise! For now, I shall go before you!”

“Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against The House of The LORD, because they have transgressed My Covenant, and trespassed against My Law. Israel shall cry unto Me, ‘my God, we know Thee.’ Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by Me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.” Hosea 8:1-4 KJV.

“It is the hour to ‘cross over’ to possess and take the land of promise! For now, I shall go before you!

With the innocence of a child, in those who speak in My Name, I shall rule and reign supreme! These are the sons of The Living God, who carry the man-child within.

But with the rod of reproof and iron, I shall deal with all those who despise and deny My Name! (Revelation 2:27)

Although the enemy seeks to devour the innocence of the man-child, it is much, more, profitable to fear almighty God, and take your courage from Him, and Him alone!

God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. Darkness must flee at the sound of his name and the light it brings.

In child like innocence, I proclaim that these, who made such a mark on My Fatherly Heart, have such purity in innocence, that exudes and radiates the glorious light of My Presence!

These eagerly sit at the highest place! In childlike wonderment at My Feet, for their story has made an indelible mark upon My Heart, and these are the apple of My Eye, and they are tattooed on The Palm of My Hand, and nothing can pluck them out!”

“Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My Hands; thy walls are continually before Me. Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith The LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, the place is too straight for me: give place to me that I may dwell.” Isaiah 49:16-20 KJV.

“Behold, all their walls are ever before Me! If anyone touches the innocence of one of My little ones, it is better that they tie a millstone around their neck and throw them in the midst of the sea.”

“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:4-6 KJV.

“Be strong! Yes, be strong! For I know you! I know what I have invested and imparted within you! You are me, and I AM you! And you are fully functional and, well known, by Almighty God of the Heavens and Earth.

Yes, your activities have been monitored, surveyed, and have become well known, by the demonic realm. But be assured, I have a Plan!

The darkness shudders at the sound of My Trumpet and they tremble at your sight! They shriek in terror, as their plots and schemes are disclosed everywhere! Legions crumble, and fall as you carry the light of the dawn!

Do you finally understand who you are in The Kingdom of The Living God?”

“Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of The LORD shall be thy rereward.” Isaiah 58:8 KJV.

“With His Ascension, He took captivity, captive and gave gifts to men. For truly He has given His remnant, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists to equip every part of His Body for this last day.

His Message is a clear herald sound to awaken! You must awaken in every way!

What has kept you and, what has stood before you? What has kept you from becoming fully operational?

You that carry My Message in your heart’s mission on the earth, so that these will align themselves according to His Will. In doing so, you will bring and bear witness to the Truth, to reveal those in these last days message.

This is a Decree and Declaration and a point of no return! You shall cross over! Never look back again, for I AM restoring all things in My Latter Rain!

These shall walk into Kingdom Alignment and Advancement! It is time to cross over through all the chaos, upheavals, injustice and judgements and calamity storms that rage. Fear not! Take possession of your soul.

I AM bringing forth the restoration of all things and The Latter Rain outpouring unto all the earth, reconciling man and God in preparation of The Harvest before the great and terrible day of The LORD! The enemy seeks to devour the child.

Remember who you are!

Remember the Power that I invested into you and put your total trust in, and remain committed to Jesus Christ, your LORD and Mighty Warrior!”

Put your total trust in Jesus, and make it so now, Jesus Christ!

The time is drawing very near. Rend your heart and not your garment and return to full devotion to Him!

God will manifest the seriousness of the hour! God will blow out, cast out, and clean out The Church! God shall set it in order by His Command.

Judgment has already begun in The House of God, and you, as a part of The House of God, you choose this day whether you be hot or cold, yes or no. There is no passive choice and lukewarm has been cast away.

God shall cause us to reap whirlwind uprooting everything in the path.

Now faith is! Before God speaks, and releases, He first shows His Servants the prophets!

We have passed over beloved! Now is the time to take, and possess your souls! Take it and possess your land, and take possession of everything God has established for you! Into your hand, take it, and do all things as unto The LORD!

We have much to do and much is coming to this Nation, and the majority of The Church do not want to hear, but soon they will seek it out and finally will hear, and then listen!

Know those who labor among you and keep alert. Friends are hard to find, but spread The Word seeds all over, and when it is time, come among those of like heart, mind, and spirit, for truly refreshing will come from the presence of The LORD Almighty!

Jesus came from Prayer and then chose 12 disciples. Know those among you who are part of the inner circle. Become familiar with these feet that bring good news! God has made room for us!

The time is drawing near and many are at the fork in the road. The choices you are led to take, may not be easy, but as you commit your ways unto The LORD, you shall be established.

Cast all of your cares to The LORD, for He cares for you! Abide in Him, and He will give you strength to endure all things beloved!

“Moses said to the people, ”Do not be afraid! Take your stand [be firm and confident and undismayed] and see the salvation of The LORD which he will accomplish for you today; for those Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you while you [only need to] keep silent and remain calm.” Exodus 13:13-14 AMP.

“Your local, national, and international regions are being unlocked, and all Doors will opened before you!

As I open before you, you will carry My Anointing and The Light of My Glory! The Harvest is plentiful beloved!

Give heed to everywhere you go! Ask The LORD to expose hearts, so that you may touch the very issues of their lives. And as their heart is laid before you before you, touch them at their greatest need.

You will see My Works in the deep, and as you go deeper still, you shall be amazed how open these precious ones are to your message of hope.

Region’s are going to be unlocked, unchained, and all Doors, will open before you! You will carry My Anointing and The Light of My Glory!”

I must warn and wake up The Church to speak to the dead, so they will arise and shine and that Revival will remain, and that many will arise from death to the newness of life, and many souls be saved and delivered and discipled and return to the Truth of God’s Word!

Man cannot bring conviction to a soul. Only The Holy Spirit can!

We must pray in advance and in going, that His loving kindness leads the lost to Repentance. Speak accurately and make no flowery speeches or lie about how easy it is to follow Christ.

Picking up The Cross, has never been a popular message, ever! However, let them know that they can find total fulfillment in their lives!

For in knowing Christ as our lover, friend, and creator, is when we learn to seek Him daily and there is no greater love and need serving Him as LORD!

Once that Holy Spirit conviction comes, God gives them free will and free choice. If they choose repentance and turning away from sin, then they can experience continual Revival.

“You must prepare My People with what is coming! It is the time to form Houses of Safety, and Refuges, for truly times of refreshing come from The Presence of The LORD.”

Selah and amen! Oh LORD, Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Selah and amen!

We must PRAY that God gives us Grace so that we will be about The LORD’s business! These are times like none other. It is a very dangerous time, and times of disillusionment, and spiritual blindness. We must Pray!

“Behold, the days are coming,” says The LORD God, “When I will send hunger over the land. Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water, but rather [a hunger] for hearing the truth of the words of The LORD! People shall stagger from sea to sea [to the very ends of the earth] and from the north even to the east; they will roam here and there to seek the word of The LORD [longing for it as essential for life], but they will not find it. In that day the beautiful virgins and [even the vigorous] young men shall faint from thirst.” Amos 8:11-13 AMP.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom The LORD has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from The LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “Consult the mediums [who try to talk to the dead] and the soothsayers who chirp and whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead-on behalf of the living? [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! If their teachings are not in accord with this word, it is because they have no dawn.” Isaiah 8:18-20 AMP.

“But this I say brethren; The time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.” 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 AMP.

The Quest of One

The LORD shared these Words with me, and HE wanted me to write this ‘especially’ for you, about this most important topic!

How are you doing today, my Lovelies?

I hope you are well this day, and begin your day with your true friend, lover, and LORD, Jesus Christ!

I am praying for you! God woke me up this morning thinking of YOU! The LORD shared these Words with me, and HE wanted me to write this ‘especially’ for you, about this most important topic!

His topic today is about; ‘The full development of your Relationship with JESUS!’

This Relationship with Jesus is a daily thing, as we must realize that, we only get twenty-four hours each day, and we can’t go back to yesterday, to add or take anything away. We can only live, moment by moment!

What we sow into The Holy Spirit, and into others, will bring a reaping of benefits! Benefits in this life, and the life to come! Live, and in all you do, live heartily as unto The LORD himself, knowing that your labor is not in vain in The LORD!

What would you say, or do differently, if this was your last day to live? Having a deep, and personal relationship with Jesus daily, will fulfill us more, and more, each day giving us greater assurance, and the sure confidence of His Word!

Feelings are not an indicator of your position, and purpose! Your flesh is not yet glorified! It still screams at us, and it feels, it hurts, and it pains us! Amen?

But, we are not led by our aches, pains, and feelings! Those feelings are temporal afflictions of the fleshly thoughts, and nature. Our flesh definitely lets us know what it wants! And one day, we know that our flesh will eventually die! Amen?

If we seek The LORD with all our whole heart, and we ask Him for some bread, would he give you a stone? Or, if you were hungry, and asked him for a fish, would he give you a snake?

Satan wants us to put stock, and belief, into our fleshly circumstances. The devil wants us to believe that ‘these circumstances’, are the real deal in life, and it must be God’s will just to lay down and surrender to them.

The devil wants us to put confidence in what our flesh, and he is that telling us. “Just sleep on and on, because he says, it is too hard, and it doesn’t cost all that!”

The devil wants to keep us from full devotion, and developing a strong prayer life with Jesus! Why? Here’s some inside information beloved; because, if we let the devil do that, we will be accessible to his plots, and schemes.

This is THE devil’s main strategy: His mission for YOU is, to keep you and all believers earthbound, and afflicted with demonic abuse, that tells you things like, “you are not good enough or, you don’t have what it takes, or you really don’t feel good, why try, go back to bed.”

That is a lie straight from the pit of hell! You’ve got to wake up! Revival means to wake up from being dead!! Wake up! i can’t hear you!

Now since we have been awakened, read these Words carefully! All believers in Christ Jesus are required to have spiritual, and physical discipline!

Discipleship 101. The root word for disciple is discipline!

Do you consider yourself a Disciple of Christ, or do you think you’re grown?

Let’s get real!! Do you have the evidence in your life and do you bring your body under subjection to The Holy Spirit daily?

What do I mean? Do you aggressively, take your flesh, and yank it back, like the reins, and bit on a rebellious horse or mule?

Important note: Our flesh is not our friend, and it will go the way of the world if we do not intervene. (1 Corinthians 15:31)

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” Psalm 5:3.

Putting first things first, we must spend time with God to build a personal relationship with Him. You will not survive this life without putting God first!

I am VERY serious! We are living in times like none other and I warn you, that prayer is as vital as breathing! You will not survive these days without developing your prayer life!

God longs to spend that time with you each day, and He is waiting to give you peace and strength. May God not proclaim to us “and ye would not! ” (Isaiah 30:15)

The Bible is loaded with weighty words as weapons of warfare. Prayer prepares us for war and prepares us for anything and everything that comes when we must go out into the world. Are you hiding, pretending, and hoping war won’t come to your door?

Folks it is time to prepare! God always has a plan for his beloved. But we must wait before The LORD for His Plan for our day.

I know an Apostle in Hong Kong, who smuggled Bibles and took my prophetic words, articles, teachings etc. into China and it is against the law!

The man of God told me how The LORD swiftly, spoke a word that changed his direction quickly, as they were coming on the adjacent street on their way to arrest him!

God spoke and led him a different way and avoided capture through his sensitivity to God through his prayer life.

Beloved of God, we must now begin to go deeper in developing our prayer life for it is two way communication with The LORD. And a matter of life and death.

Unless you haven’t looked lately, there is a WAR going on, a BIG WAR! David, the man after God’s own heart tells us, “early in the morning will I rise and seek thee.” (Psalm 63:1-8)

We must rise early, in taking time with God before the enemy starts throwing stuff at us! And a thousand things can come flying in our face that we need to do!

Another strategy of the devil is to put you to sleep and slumber while you pray. Our flesh loves to sleep, be lazy, and slumber. AND there are demonic spirits that will come to rock you to sleep and permanently if we are not careful. Taking authority over the devil is needed, especially in the beginning stages of developing your prayer life.

The LORD is showing me also, people I know, and some are ministers and that started out right, and now are not committed to their prayer life, and that is dangerous!

This is the devil’s number one strategy is to keep you from your deep prayer and fellowship in the mornings. His mission is to shut you down!

“Or let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; And he shall make peace with me.” Isaiah 27:5 KJV.

YES, you must take hold of your flesh and bring it under control, and I die daily! Now bind that spirit of slumber, spirit of sloth, and laziness too, those three areas if not conquered, will lead in spirits of apathy, and complacency.

Another effective maneuver we can use is, instead of sitting, get up and walk around and worship and pray until you get a breakthrough! In the beginning stages of developing your prayer life, you will face these spirits. You will find that the attitudes we have with our flesh, supports the devil.

Your prayer life is a threat to the devil! He wants you to be cut off from other people who love, support, and encourage you!

His desire is to shut you down before you even get started. I am encouraged though knowing you are reading this.

I know what I speak of, because I live it! So now you know VERY well that the devil wants to shut you down, and to get you to retreat into familiar things that are motivated by spirits of hell!

Some of the devil’s familiar spirits and methods are; to send you evil spirits that act like buzzards of rejection, depression, hopelessness, and despair and once they have your agreement with their thoughts, they will pick at you, to devour your dying flesh.

Then another step he uses, to turn you against yourself! He gets you to turn inward to self-hatred, self-pity, self-loathing and worthlessness!

Then he takes you deeper into isolation, so that people won’t come out of their homes. I know someone who hasn’t been out of their house in eleven years!

The devil will not stop until you take the bull by the horns, plant your feet, and set your forehead like flint! Not only is flint strong, but it strikes a spark to create a flame! You are flameable! (Hebrews 1:7)

Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”

“But those who wait on The LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired.” Isaiah 40:31 AMP

Remember developing our prayer life is foundational, and we cannot grow or maintain that level unless we have a daily relationship with The LORD in prayer.

We will not survive what is coming unless we prepare! This is a process of preparation like a marathon.

Learning how to mount up like an eagle takes effort at the beginning, but once we learn to mount up above the storms, it will give us exhilarating results and it grows.

As we learn how to master the process, we will begin to live the life of “walking in the Spirit every day.”

Yes, we will still go through things that try us, but when we remain diligent with God’s ways and become perfected in our prayer life, all of our needs and desires of our heart will come from that place of intimacy.

The Spiritual benefit of learning to mount up like eagles, and get above all the fierce storms, then all we do is stretch our wings and the currents of the winds will carry you as you soar.

Yes, and according to that scripture, ‘he made his angels winds,’ and you will fly with the angels and see from afar. (Hebrews 1:7)

As an eagle, your greatest threat is becoming earthbound. Eagles are meant to soar and can deal with threats far above, and at their determined will, can swoop down and capture their prey!

You are a weapon of war! You devour the devil, don’t let them devour you! The wonderment of getting to that place in God, makes everything possible! Because, we can see clearly up above, and not beneath.

Now study and know the pattern of the enemy, and see and study God’s pattern of things. First lesson in Spiritual Warfare 101: Know Your Enemy!

We may think that isolation gives us temporary relief, but then comes the price of that choice. We must guard our hearts and minds. For out of the heart come the issues of life. And the greatest battle for us is, the battlefield of the mind.

If the thoughts you have are not in alignment with the fruit of The Holy Spirit, and God’s Word, we know where those thoughts originated. As we seek ye first The Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, all these things shall be added unto you.

Yes, the mounting process through prayer and fasting takes effort, but you will learn to rise up way beyond the demonic storms that want to keep you earthbound. (earthly, sensual and devilish)

Together and in union we are strong! That is why we must come together and pray, worship, partake of the Word through teaching, preaching, prophesy, gifts of the Spirit, and fellowship with those of like heart, mind and Spirit.

Being diligent in fasting and praying gives us a sharp edge with no hacking, and it will make us extremely sensitive to The Holy Spirit. Picking up our cross to follow Jesus after prayer, will give us the strength to see us through.

However, we must ALWAYS realize, no matter how far we go in our walk, that our greatest purpose, achievement, and stability begins at the starting point of developing our relationship with The LORD in prayer.

This is foundational for ALL believers! None are exempt! That is why you see so many confessing Christianity but when you inspect them closer, you find that they practice sin and their actions are rotten fruit! God told us to judge by the fruits! We are truly known by the company we keep.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12:1 AMP

Religious leaders devoid of the Spirit or compromised, and also people who are compromised say and teach do not judge. We are to judge lest we be judged!

Are we allied with them! Watch out who you defend and hang out with! We are known by the company we keep.

People who love their sin will say you are not supposed to judge! They say that, but love their sin and seek to validate their actions to others and themselves!

There are so many who say they love and serve God but are prayer less and powerless. T here are many pretenders and you have been among them!

“Holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them.” 2 Timothy 3:5 AMP.

How can you find, and choose wise friends? Look in faithful gatherings of the saints, even if there are few in number, you will find where there are two or three, there he is in the midst! God’s faithful children will be gathered around each other, and The LORD’s Word in truth is taught there.

Don’t judge by numbers, it is better to have three faithful believers gathered in agreement, than hundreds who are pretenders.

We are taught to judge by the fruits of the Spirit, and the fruits people bear in their lives and how they treat and care for the flock of God.

We are to watch the consistency of the leaders and followers. And above all, pray for the leaders as they are servants of God and need backup as they are targeted by the devil.

True discipleship was formed this way, with a few good men and women! The LORD chose Twelve disciples after he prayed.

Watch the company you keep, and as you test the waters, search for the intent of any relationship. Godly men, and godly women are lovers of good men and good women, so learn to discriminate wisely. Make spiritual notes.

Godly men and women can easily be ranked by the fruits of the Spirit and knowing them well to see if they are real and authentic? Search and rank on integrity, honesty, loyalty, virtue, and wisdom.

The fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom. If you are a seeker, and want a godly group of believers that are like a close-knit family, that is what being personal in ministry is all about. For these are those who truly care for the flock of God.

This is wisdom too; to select friends the same way. You can tend to get lost in large groups and have many unmet needs with no accountability or responsibility. For leaders must watch over your soul as one who must give an account to God for their actions.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” Proverbs 13:20 KJV.

How can you get rid of bad company? Be unavailable. Make a point to be around wise, godly people!

Yes, we understand that no one is perfect, but we will know the consistency of their lives and the fruit they bear. Bad company and foolish friends will fade away as we come closer to God and godly people.

Yes, the lost and sinner can come, but it is the group that must prepare the environment that is conducive to the flowing of The Holy Spirit.

Fruit Inspection 101 : If a person says they know Him, but do not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. We must watch, be extremely sensitive, and listen to their words and watch their actions and behavior.

In Jesus’ close inner circle, He chose twelve disciples. Jesus did not hang out closely with pretenders and fools. He could read every thought and heart.

However, he did reach out to the masses and taught and prophesied. He walked perfectly in the Spirit and He was the only man that never sinned. However, He did not entrust himself or share secrets with man because He knows the origin of our thoughts and intent.

If you have the desire and passion to know God deeply, and to experience His gifts and secrets, He must know you are trustworthy.

So, you decide how far you will press in. He is the one you must please and he will reveal things when you are ready. God doesn’t share secrets easy. We are told not to cast our pearls before swine.

Since Jesus chose his close friends, so too, we must pray and ask The LORD to reveal the hearts of men and choose our inner circle wisely.

Do we desire to be in Jesus’ close circle and be a close confidant and friend? Are we developing a closer walk so that He can share trustworthy secrets?

The LORD desires us and tries to woo us so much closer. He wants YOU to experience the BOMB!

You CAN have it! However, HE wants to court and woo you, and that you desire him above anyone and everything!

For our maker is our husband! He wants YOU to KNOW HIM as THE passionate lover of your soul! He wants you to desire him and desire no other!

He wants you to experience what a godly, loving, close, fulfilling relationship you can have in HIM! He wants us to live in constant, fulfilling, communion, and fellowship with HIM!

Having a godly marriage in this life is possible and honorable but there are many distractions and cares that come with it. That is why it is so important to WAIT ON The LORD!

For The Father to walk you down the aisle and give you away, the two must become one! That is the written, sealed, covenant agreement signed in The Blood of Jesus!

You must be equally yoked with a God-fearing mate having the same heart, mind, Spirit, and being in one accord. However, we know nothing is perfect in this life and all marriages have seasons of discord.

There are some who have chosen to remain unmarried, having no necessity of thought and having power over their own will and body. In this life, a godly marriage is a type and shadow of what we could experience when yoked, separate, and set apart to The LORD!

For our maker is our husband! He is our perfect husband! He is a jealous husband! What is keeping us from a closer walk with Jesus?

“For we are members of HIS body, of HIS flesh and of HIS bones. For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” Ephesians 5:30-32.

In our society, divorce is an epidemic, especially in the Church. Breaking a Covenant and going from one person to another is just another sign of being unfulfilled.

You see we keep trying to stuff anything and everything into that void within us; something we think will make us happy.

When only The LORD can fill that void in us. Do you see that this is a deep longing within us that can only be fulfilled by The LORD?

The answer to all of this is, RELATIONSHIP! When we begin to seek The LORD with all of our heart, soul, and strength, He will fill that void and longing we have within us.

Due to the law of sowing and reaping, as a believer, we must exercise our authority over the devil who gained the access and right to enter the family tree.

As a believer there are two seeds we can sow, the sinful passions of the desires of our flesh, and the righteous passions and desires of The Holy Spirit.

When we have sown the bad seeds and can see the results of our choices, there is an answer. Once we repent and turn away from the sin, there is something we can do.

If we are weak or immature in the things of God, we need to pray asking God to guide us to help. You may be able to gain help through your church or know a strong believer that you trust.

Often immature Christians go to secular counseling, and I am not trying to say that counselors are wrong, but believers should seek out Christian counselors.

If our seed grew into a tree, that took some time. However, as we have grown and we finally know who we are in Christ, we have the power over the demons to put a stop to generational curses!

We have the authority over that generational tree and it can be uprooted, pulled down, overthrown and destroyed! We have the power and authority over all the works of the devil!

To be free from this pattern of defeat in our lives and in our children, and in our children’s children, we must go to the root source spiritually, and lay the axe at the root of that tree so that it goes no further!

What that means is spiritual warfare! And to take back everything that was stolen from us! Then to be sure that familiar spirits cannot gain a foothold again, we must develop a deep relationship with our Maker. (Study Galatians 6:7-10)

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So, shall it also be with this wicked generation.” Matthew 12:43-45 NKJV.

God has, and will continue to forgive us from all our mistakes and sin. But sin isn’t cheap; it has a high price tag.

However, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

True repentance comes from divine conviction by The Holy Spirit. When that conviction comes, we must choose to repent and completely turn away from our sins.

Sin is sin to God. And once we have truly repented of our sins, He forgives us fully. However, some sins carry a lot more weight and damage in this life, that affects many people for a long time, especially children and broken families.

And personally, it takes God to heal all the damage. Yes, HE is able and willing to heal, but in my experience, there is such disillusionment when it comes to God.

Children especially, can carry anger at God and to the parents for their failure regardless of who’s to blame. They may be forty eight years old and still manifest a wound that took place twenty three years ago.

Understand this! I am NOT saying they cannot be healed, but in my experience only God can intervene. And yes, we are to believe God and trust HIM in prayer for all of those involved.

But, we must totally turn our children over to God so that HE can make sense to them in their altered view of the world around them and reach them where they are.

Marriage is a covenant of ONE! One heart, one mind, one Spirit! This is union, this is alliance, the mystery of two becoming one flesh.

Are you unhappy, unfulfilled, lonely, and bored? I challenge you to make up your mind and decree and declare. A QUEST of ONE! Go pursue, overtake and recover everything!

You may have once had a deep relationship with The LORD, and life came at you with such a blow of destruction, that it felt like there was no hope any longer. Although you were forgiven, the loss, pain, destruction, and deep wounds remained.

In your humiliations, you have wandered aimlessly, and have been deeply discouraged, and depressed for a very long time!

But, because of your broken relationships, constant reminders, and wandering, you slipped, again and again into sin. You truly want God’s forgiveness and restoration, but found none and settled into just existing by God’s grace.

Beloved, if you have truly repented, God has forgiven you. However, people are hardened, and won’t forgive or forget. So, you despaired of life itself.

You feel the weight of invisible chains and locks wrapped around your neck. And the devil has made sure to keep you reminded of how low you have gone, by flashing images in your face. He has continued to exercise power over you, keeping you down with no hope of redemption.

In your despair, you left the home you once knew, even thinking you gave up your birthright. You wandered and staggered throughout the bitterness of your own acts, of soul, condemnation, guilt, and self-hatred; then you gave up!

As you laid in a helpless heap and powerless, seeking death but it didn’t come. You settled into your abode and became content with husks that the swine ate.

While wallowing in the muck, mire, and stench, suddenly, a thought invaded your mind! You came into your right mind! You remembered your Father’s house!

Then the fearful thoughts flooded your mind, of how you would be received, if received at all. You had taken all your inheritance and squandered it.

All that was left was the carcass of my broken, bruised and powerless man of sin. The thought came to his mind, and he wondered if he might be able to sell himself to his Father as a slave? He took what strength he had, and began the long journey back.

As the Father was on His porch pondering the day, he looked up on the horizon and began to see something coming afar off.

Suddenly the Father’s vision cleared as the image came closer and he recognized the form of HIS youngest son! And with great compassion and thankfulness to God, The Father got up, and shouted, and HE ran to his son and without a hand shake or word, He fell upon him and embraced him and wept!

The son, in all the poverty, humiliations, the filthiness, and stench, cried out to his Father! “I have failed you! I have sinned against heaven and you! For I squandered all my life, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Father, can I become your slave?”

The son didn’t hear the Father say anything, for he embraced him, kissed him and wept loud and all the servants and the other sons came out to see what had happened.

But suddenly, the Father called out to his servants . “Quickly, run! Get my best robe and best shoes”, and the Father took the robe of righteousness and wrapped him, to cover him.

He didn’t point out all the sins, the Father knew he was very sorry and ashamed. But the amazing thing is, even in our filthy stench, and humiliation, he covered us too, as he covered him, and he covered his feet, to speak of new steps in a new direction.

Then, the most amazing thing that the Father did, HE took off His signet ring of authority and placed it on his finger.

That speaks of divine authority and the power to back him up! I was God’s stamp of approval! Then He said, “This is My youngest son, he was lost, but now is found!”

In stunned amazement, the son did not realize who he was! Then the Father said to all, “this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and now is found!”

The Father said to the servants, “bring me now the fattened calf and dress it, and let us feast and celebrate!” The older son came in from the field, and heard the music and could see the dancing. So, he called one of the servants to ask “what was going on.

“Your youngest brother has returned, and your Father has decreed, and declared a celebration, because he has come back safe and sound.”

Something interesting I see here in so many ways, speaks of a Religious spirit as The older son became angry and stood back in “hateful jealousy” and he refused to come see his brother and celebrate.

The Father went to find the older son and pleaded with him to come and celebrate. But he said, “Look, all the years I have served you, and never disobeyed any commandment of yours. Yet, you never gave me a feast and celebration so that I could celebrate with my friends! And here comes this son who lived in wickedness and squandered your wealth, and you kill the fatted calf for him!”

The Father said to him, “Son, you are always with me and everything that I have is yours! Celebrate with us all, because your brother was dead, and is alive! He was lost and was finally found! “

The older son was jealous, envious, of what seemed like preferential treatment. It is clear as well, to the extreme, that the older son did not realize who he was, or what he had available either!

And in compassion, the Father confronted his misunderstood role as well, as he had settled into a life of religious duty, instead of a relationship of love, trust, and fulfillment.

I want to encourage you this day, to seek that restoration of things you lost, and what you had with God. But I want you to think bigger! Make The LORD your greatest Quest to seek Him out!

Ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened for you! Go after HIM! Go after God with all that is in you!!

Break free of all constraints around your neck! Shatter the chains that have kept you earthbound! Seek Him while He may be found! Do you want a godly husband or godly wife?

Put God first in all you do! Go after HIM with such furious determination, and you shall find HIM when you seek HIM with your whole heart! Once you find HIM, you will never want to live any other way!

Remember this in closing, people and even believers continually try in so many ways to stuff things into them, to attempt to fill that void, where only The LORD Jesus can dwell.

So many believers are unfulfilled in their marriages and their spiritual life. God’s desire is towards you, and He wants to send restoration for the years that were wasted and all the loss.

Trust in His goodness and mercy, that shall follow you all the days of your lives and you shall dwell in the house of The LORD forever and ever!

Amen and Amen!

“Therefore also now, saith The LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto The LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto The LORD your God?
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Let the priests, the ministers of The LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Then will The LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Yea, The LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: but I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for The LORD will do great things.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in The LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of The LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am The LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of The LORD come.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as The LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom The LORD shall call.”
Joel 2:12-32.

Decree and Declaration — The Divine Take Back!

The greatest and most devious, fought for conspiracy of hell against you, is to keep you out of your prayer closet at any cost.

The greatest and most devious, fought for conspiracy of hell against you, is to keep you out of your prayer closet at any cost.

If he, Satan, can keep us prayer-less, he keeps us powerless! Then the enemy can gain a foothold and spiritual ground in our lives, to bring chaos and confusion.

We believers have the blood-bought rights of our salvation, weaponry, armor and our inheritance, and we have a hotline to Heaven! Praying in The Holy Ghost.

The First Rule to remember in Prayer Warfare: Your flesh is not your friend — it’s your enemy. Your flesh will agree with the devil and will fight against your own soul!

In the beginning stages of Prayer Warfare, the devil will strongly use slumber and sleep to lull you into laziness, slothful complacency and apathy! Even when you are wide awake and begin to Pray, you will become so sleepy!

Take authority over it and press in! Then, he uses people to interfere and fight Prayer. Satan uses whomever and whatever he can to steal your valuable time in Prayer!

This is his greatest offensive play and he uses it everyday. Arm yourself with that, and be equipped with this understanding that by interfering, he will try to keep us out of Prayer with everything he has in his arsenal.

He knows, if you find out who you are, and what you’ve got and what is available to you…. he knows he will lose ground in your life and in everyone you influence in your life, and your life to come!

If this Message brings a stirring in you to righteous indignation against the devil, it is supposed to. And it is time.

This is your Word. Do you want total Victory in Christ? Then you need to actively take your flesh captive and bring it under subjection and make it obey you.

Take the reins back. Take the control back to your body and using your mouth and words to command your spirit and decree a Press!

Yes, decree a Press! Yes, it is time to press into God in a sanctified (set apart) Prayer and consecration and tell that devil to get out of your life and family! Tell that devil to go.

Hear the sound of the trumpets and Decree, Declare, and Establish Victory in the Name of Jesus. Hallelujah, and Amen and Amen.

“Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.” Colossians 3:5 NKJV.

“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:7 NKJV.

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians 5:24 NKJV.

“I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.” 1 Corinthians 15:31 NKJV.

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NKJV.
