View MoreFebruary 3, 2023 By Dutch Sheets, Feb 3, 2023 Love Crosses the Divide On Tuesday, when introducing this week’s emphasis on generational synergy and the importance of legacy, I mentioned my mom and grandmother. They loved Jesus, lived godly lives, and prayed for their kids and grandkids EVERY day. No finer people ever lived. I like to think they are watching this week’s posts with us - after all, they are part of the great cloud of “witnesses” - enjoying the fruit of their labors. Perhaps Abba, when one of their kids, grandkids or great grandkids does something for His Kingdom, glances their way and winks while mouthing a “thank-you.” Today’s post is written by our daughter, Sarah (Weinberg), and me. Sarah chose the topic and did most of the work. Not surprisingly, she chose the subject of “love.” Sarah is a lover of people…and dogs, and cats, and birds, and… Jesus, of course, walked in perfect love. He demonstrated that we could speak out against evil, stand for truth, reject hypocrisy, and make other righteous stands - all while loving perfectly. Christ epitomized loving the person while rejecting the sin, even to the point of stating from the Cross - the most heinous, unjust and evil act in history - “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) He expects us to emulate Him. We all just love the verses, “You have heard it said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy? But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44). Ouch! In today’s post, Sarah does a wonderful job of reminding us that if we are to embody, represent, and reveal Christ - and heal the divisions in our land - it will be through our love. She says: “When my dad asked me to write a ‘15,’ I asked him if it would be ok if I give my perspective on the many divisions we are currently seeing in our culture. I’m grateful that he trusts my ‘millennial perspective’ on this topic, and I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you all today. “When thinking about the many divisions we see in the culture of America right now (racial, political, and religious to name a few) I asked myself these questions: ‘If Jesus were right here, walking among us and leading the church of America in this time, what would He say to the people who don’t know Him? How would He love them? How would he speak about them when they weren’t around? What would He say to heal their hurting, bitter, angry, or deceived hearts? “These questions led me into a season of soul searching, because what I am frequently hearing spoken by we, the church, is not what I believe Jesus would be speaking. I think, perhaps, the culture of division we are so surrounded by in America has crept into the culture of the church. Have we forgotten how to see people as people? A person with a different political persuasion is a person. Someone with different views on sexuality is a person. An individual who espouses a different religion is a person. Each of them deserves love and kindness, and I believe anything else grieves God’s heart. “As I said, I am a millennial. My generation, along with Gen X, is sandwiched between the hardworking, confident Baby Boomers and the free-spirited, compassionate Gen Z. I endeavor to see and appreciate the perspectives of each generation, and have often thought about how generational gaps can be bridged. I was pondering this as I watched my dad on Flashpoint last week. He spoke about a vision he had in 2001. In the vision, he saw how hard it was going to be to disciple the younger generation in the coming move of God without cramming religion down their throats. How do we do this? How do we bridge this great divide? I truly believe the answer isn’t as complicated as we often make it. It’s as simple as WE LOVE THEM! Just as they are. 1 John 4:19 (TPT) says, ‘Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.’ It’s wonderful when He simplifies things for us. “It can be tempting for us to want to love someone for who we believe they should and could be. But we can accept and love people as they are without agreeing with their beliefs or lifestyles, and this is how the divide can be crossed. Love creates bridges, whereas judgment only widens the chasm. God’s love conquers hate - every single time. When you don’t know what to do, love is the response, and love is the answer.” “One of America’s greatest adversaries in World War II was Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese general commander who led the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. He was a hero to the Japanese, hated by the Americans. “Shortly after the attack, Jake DeShazer enlisted in the U.S. Air Force with a personal vendetta against Commander Fuchida and the Japanese. He participated in Jimmy Doolittle’s secret bombing raid over Tokyo four months after Pearl Harbor. During the mission, however, DeShazer’s plane ran out of fuel and he was forced to land in Japanese-occupied China. Captured by the Japanese, he was held as a prisoner of war for more than 3 years. “Being close to death due to starvation and torture, DeShazer begged his captors for a Bible. After reading many passages, he gave his heart to Jesus. ‘I suddenly discovered God had given me new spiritual eyes,’ he later said. ‘I found my bitter hatred for them [the Japanese] changed to love.’ “DeShazer’s salvation gave him physical strength and purpose for living. When the war ended, he was released, fully recovered, returned to the United States and enrolled in a Bible college. Upon his graduation, he returned to Japan, only this time he brought love and a message of hope, instead of hatred. Years later, Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese commander was stepping off a train in Tokyo when an American missionary handed him a pamphlet entitled, ‘I Was a Prisoner of Japan,’ written by DeShazer. Impressed with the peace DeShazer had found in Scripture, the desperately unhappy Fuchida purchased a Bible and began studying it. He was struck by the words of Jesus: ‘Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing’ (Luke 23:34). He realized he was one of those for whom Christ had prayed. “‘I requested him to forgive my sins and change me from a bitter, disillusioned ex-pilot into a balanced person with purpose in living,’ he said. ‘I would give anything to retract my actions at Pearl Harbor...but it is impossible.’ “This man, who led the raid of death, spent the last twenty-five years of his life as an ‘ambassador of peace’ sharing the message of love and forgiveness.”(1) “If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal. And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to love, then I am nothing. “And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of love, I would gain nothing of value. “Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when a blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. Love never stops loving. “It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten. Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away. When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways. “For now, we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭TPT‬‬)(2) Pray with me: Father, You have loved us with an everlasting love. When we were still Your enemies, You loved us. We marvel and say along with our brother, Paul, “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). Thank You, Father, for not sparing Your Son. As we focus on the power of Christ’s sacrifice today, not only do we celebrate forgiveness and cleansing, we remember that we were also given His nature, His mind. We are righteous, overcomers, warriors, servants, givers, and lovers. And the greatest of these is love. We remember this as we take Communion today, and pledge to allow Christ’s love to - as Paul stated - make us its prisoner (2 Corinthians 5:14). (Take the bread) And now, we take the cup. As we drink the juice, we remember Your passionate love of people, Your Abba nature, Your giving heart. And we desire to be like You. Awaken Your nature of love in us, that we might love the unlovely, even our enemies. As we drink this cup today, we remember love.

They are both wonderful ladies and make us proud. Today’s post comes from our daughter, Hannah (Magness); tomorrow’s is co-written by Sarah (Weinberg) and me, and will include communion. As we look this week at the power of generational synergy and legacy, I trust you are being stirred, challenged and blessed. Hannah begins: “I’ve been a dreamer my whole life, especially of places I’ve never been and people I’ve never met. One of my favorite imagination games as a child was to take a globe and pick a random country. I’d look at its borders, the names of cities, topography, and imagine what it was like there. I’d create a grand story in my imagination about its history and the people who lived there. Then, I’d go into my dad’s library and pull out his old Encyclopedia Britannica books, thumb through to find that country, and read what it had to say. Was I usually close? Not at all. But still, I never tired of this game. Because imagining the country, and then reading about it, was like getting to meet it twice. Now that I’ve made a career working in some of those countries I used to dream about, I’ve met them again. “Meeting these lands has been more beautiful and challenging and sacred than I ever imagined it to be as a child. I’ve learned more about the similarities we share across humanity. And the differences used as banners across culture, politics, and religion. When I was 18, I had an imagination meets education meets reality moment the first time I went to the Middle East. I quickly knew that these nations were somehow in my heart, before ever visiting. I arrived to find purpose had gone before me. “Now, several years later, I work in the Middle East running a nonprofit organization. I’ve had the privilege of meeting these nations over and over again. Their light and their dark. Their joy and their pain. I’d like to share one of those stories with you today. This particular story is one I hold close to my heart. The faces and feelings it holds stay with me. “A few years ago, our staff was doing a food and clothing distribution on a very, very cold winter day. We were in the downtown area of a city that had become a haven for Syrian refugees fleeing that country’s civil war and, later, ISIS. Our organization had long been working in this city. On distribution days, our staff often receive multiple offers to come into the homes of those we serve for a meal or a drink. Arab culture has a big focus on hospitality, so this is truly a common invitation. Most days, we are too busy to take anyone up on their hosting offer, and politely decline. On this particularly bitter-cold, rainy winter day, I said yes. “I don’t know what was different this time and why I accepted. Maybe it was just because we were all so cold. But when we finished the distribution, we followed the kind woman Khadijah(1) up the street to her apartment. The entrance was a narrow, metal door in between street-level businesses. In we went, heading up four flights of broken cement stairs with rebar sticking out in several places, seeking the promise of a cup of tea to warm our hands. “As soon as we reached the apartment, welcomed by Khadijah and her daughters, I knew I would never forget this day, or these faces.⁠ ⁠ “We all sat together on the cold floor, circling around a small gas heater to warm our hands, drinking tea. As we slowly warmed up, we chatted with this family. As we did, an unimaginable story began to flow out of their memories and spill from their mouths, a story of the deepest darkness, the likes of which I could never imagine. ⁠As I listened, sipping tea and trying to get warm, my heart broke. My eyes flooded and spilled over with tears. And when it seemed that the story simply couldn’t get any darker, it did.⁠ “Pain, violence, brutality, fear, death. All of the worst kinds of stories you hear from war. Women taken advantage of, girls bought and sold like household goods, abuse of the worst kind, loss of property, loss of family, male relatives ripped from family, lives lost, and evil hunting you down. Khadijah’s story held it all.⁠ ⁠ “As I was sitting there listening to Khadijah’s story, tears kept rolling down my face. We all cried. Some of us cried and listened; others cried and remembered. I honestly didn’t know if I could take much more listening. The secondhand heartbreak alone was too much. “But then, spoken softly in a hushed room, a light…⁠ “When the time came that there were no options left in her home country - after the severe loss of people, places, and things - Khadijah fled in the darkness of night with her five daughters. No male relatives were left. “The two oldest daughters carried all they could. The next two held on to the skirt of their mother’s dress. The youngest, still a baby, was held in her mother’s arms. “Khadijah said the darkness of night was her best opportunity to flee without being caught. But it still held plenty of its own terrors and risks. For multiple nights in a row, they ran. Hiding through the day. Chasing an idea of hope that they couldn’t quite see yet. “Even while trapped in a darkness deeper than I could have imagined, Khadijah persisted. She'd heard rumors of freedom, stories of people who fled and survived. So she chased the hope in the rumors. “As you can probably guess, Khadijah and her daughters made it to safety. After several days of fleeing atrocities, they arrived at a border crossing and found physical safety. It was at this point that Khadijah realized the hope was more than a rumor. So, she kept chasing it all the way. All the way to a job, to an apartment, to food on the table, to a new place to call home for herself and her daughters. “I’ll never forget the day I walked up those flights of broken steps and met a woman who reminded me of the deep resilience of humanity. Of the way, even when we seem trapped in the deepest of darkness, a pinprick of light can keep us going and lead us to a tomorrow holding hope. “The state of our world reminds me often of Khadijah’s story. The darkness in our lives likely has different names than what she knew. But it is darkness just the same. It can seem as though darkness is all around us sometimes. When you face this in your life, I hope you remember that there is no darkness that light cannot lift. Tragedy will give way…the darkness will lift…the sun will rise. “And if you ever find yourself without hope, chase the stories like Khadijah did. Even if they seem like rumors. Because hope isn't a rumor. It's real. My hope for you is that you will find a little more of it today. “‘If you’re stumbling in the dark, Run your hands against the walls Find every window and every door Throw them open, throw them open It will flood a blinding light And it will chase away the night Even if you shield your eyes, Let it pour in, let it pour in.’ -Lyrics from the song Gallows, by Jess Ray”(2) Pray with me: As we have read and heard today about searching for light and chasing hope, we pray for those endeavoring to do so. Give them strength in their weakness, relief from their pain, and the fortitude to persevere. We pray that the Khadijah’s of the world find freedom, healing and new beginnings. And we pray that we would become the light-bearers You intend us to be. Awaken us to a deeper sense of purpose, of destiny, of being difference-makers. As we live lives that, for most of us, are comfortable and well provisioned, remind us of those who have not, and that we are called to help. Send a worldwide revival. When nations turn to You, love replaces hate, curses are broken, and darkness flees. Strengthen and provide for those working toward this - Heart of Mercy and others like them, going to the dark places of the earth. Meet every need with abundant provision. We ask for all of this in Christ’s name, amen. Our decree: We decree that the light we carry will always overcome the darkness. Always. Today’s post was contributed by our daughter, Hannah Magness.

View MoreJanuary 27, 2022 By Dutch Sheets, Jan 27, 2023 Christ Took Our Curse In Numbers 21, the Israelites became outspoken in their criticism of Yahweh and Moses. Based on the judgment they incurred, it was likely that this had the potential of leading to a coup. A plague of serpents was released by God to stop it. “Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey. The people spoke against God and Moses, ‘Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food.’ The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people so that many [people of Israel] died.” (Numbers 21:4-6) When Moses interceded for the people, the Lord’s instruction to him was profoundly important. Yahweh saw this occasion as an opportunity to picture satan, the serpent (Genesis 3:1; Revelation 20:2); the curse that resulted from Adam’s sin (Genesis 3:14-19); and the Cross, God’s remedy for the sin (John 3:10-21). Moses was instructed to form a serpent from bronze, and hang it on a pole in the center of Israel’s encampment. Whenever anyone was bitten by one of these serpents, if they looked at this pole, they were healed. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.’” (Numbers 21:8) First, there can be no doubt that the fiery serpents in this account symbolized satan (and his demons), who seduced Adam and Eve into questioning God’s nature and partaking in the forbidden fruit. But did the antidote, the serpent on the pole, also picture satan? No. Shockingly, Jesus equated the serpent on the pole to Himself! How can such a thing be? How could a serpent be used to picture Christ? Three passages, Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Galatians 3:13, and John 3:13-14 give us the answer. Deuteronomy 21: 22-23: “If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is accursed of God) so that you do not defile your land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance.” Galatians 3:13: “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.’” John 3:14: “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” According to these verses, Christ became our substitute, taking the curse that came on the human race at the Fall. When He hung on the tree (Cross), it pictured this. Allowing Him to be pictured by the bronze serpent simply shows that He identified with our sin and curse, taking the sting of death for us. Also, in the Old Testament system of sacrifice, bronze symbolized judgment. When Christ fulfilled this Old Testament picture painted by Moses, He was taking humankind’s curse, our judgment of death, and giving us life. “Everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he shall live” (Numbers 21:8). Christ on the Cross was the antidote. His substitution removed the sting of sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:55-56), gave us eternal life (John 3:16), and bestowed on believers the blessings that were given to Abraham (Galatians 3:14). As the Israelites had to look at the serpent on the pole, we must “look” to Christ on the Cross to receive these blessings. Jesus defined what it means to “look” upon Him. After revealing that the bronze serpent on the pole pictured Him (John 3:15), Christ made the statement that summarizes the salvation message more than any other: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Believing in Christ’s finished work at the Cross is the way to life, blessing, healing, restoration to God’s family, and fellowship with our Heavenly Father. We are also given a word of caution, however, regarding this symbol Moses used. Over the passage of time, it became an idol, and was given the name Nehushtan. This word most likely means “a brazen thing” or “a piece of bronze.” A thousand years later, 2 Kings 18:4 tells us that the Israelites had begun to worship and burn incense to it. In his purging of idolatry from Israel, Hezekiah destroyed this symbol. We must not worship symbolic objects, regardless of how wonderful the truth that they represent. Our faith must be placed in the fulfillment, not the symbolism. Reminders that point us to Christ and His redemption are appropriate; idols are not. When we eat the Communion bread and drink the juice, we are using them only as symbols, reminders. Jesus said when we do so, we “remember” what He did for us (Luke 22:19). However, this does not diminish the importance of Communion whatsoever. Remembering what Christ did causes our faith to engage. It motivates us to “proclaim,” both in our hearts and from our mouths, the Lord’s death until He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26). Communion is theological, rooted in Scripture; devotional, enhancing our relationship with God; and confrontational, proclaiming the power and victory of Christ’s Cross. Pray with me: Father, thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your Son to redeem us from the curse of sin and death. We have placed our faith wholly in that sacrifice. The Cross produced complete victory over sin and satan’s kingdom. We proclaim this victory now as we look at the man, Jesus, taking our curse, in order to give us life and blessing. As we take the bread today, we are proclaiming that by Christ’s stripes, we are healed. We are proclaiming that the chastisement for our peace and wholeness was upon Him, that He bore our grief and sorrows. We ask You, through the power released when Jesus’ body was broken, to bring healing and wholeness to our nation, as well. (Take the bread) And as we partake of this cup, we declare that the power of Christ’s shed blood is greater than all of our sins. We proclaim that His blood cleanses us from ALL sin and unrighteousness. We ask You to cleanse, not only our individual lives, but also our nation. Root out evil, judge the strongholds of darkness, and restore us to Your Kingdom cause. Pour out Your spirit in our land, and begin with the youth of America. Rescue them from evil and the wickedness they have been exposed to by our media, our education system, and our government. Deliver and save them with Your mighty arm, we pray in the name of Jesus.

View MoreJanuary 25, 2023 By Dutch Sheets, Jan 25, 2023 Over the past couple of years, we have shared hundreds of Give Him 15 posts. They have come from God’s mandate to equip the Ekklesia so we can pray for America more effectively. From time to time, we will be sharing our most requested posts. Some will be strategic teachings, key parts of America’s prophetic history, important concepts we are learning as the ekklesia, and occasionally, even prophetic dreams Dutch feels we need to keep in remembrance. Thank you for being part of the Give Him 15 family. Continue praying for America and enjoy these great teachings. The DSM Staff Is God Sovereign? My intent with this post is not to open a theological can of worms. I am certainly not the final voice on all things theological. I do want to make a very important point regarding theology, however: The sovereignty of God does not mean He controls everything that takes place on earth. This should be obvious, but a religious mindset permeates the church (and many unbelievers, as well) that says God is in control of everything that occurs on earth. The obvious negative connotations of this are dealt with through beliefs and statements such as, “there must be a reason;” “everything happens for a reason;” “all things work together for good;” “well, God is in control;” “nothing happens unless He allows it;” and so on. These statements and beliefs bring a degree of comfort to people, causing them to insert a sense of purpose into their pain. I understand this. However, problems, pain, loss, and difficulties don’t have to be allowed by God in order for Him to make them serve us. And the fact that He uses bad events doesn’t mean He is behind them. God did not put sinful motives into the hearts of Joseph’s brothers causing them to sell him into slavery. He did, however, have the ability and sovereign power to use their evil, turning it into good. Yahweh did not put into the heart of King Saul to falsely accuse and persecute David. No part of this was caused by God, yet He did have a plan to use it for David’s good. The cave of Adullam, David’s home through much of that season, became his classroom and writing chamber. He wrote many of the Psalms from that cave, psalms that have touched hundreds of millions of people. God does not have to cause it, to use it. The word sovereign actually means “the greatest in power and authority.” This is obviously true of God - He is sovereign. The word does NOT mean “in control of everything.” The Bible is filled with actions that occurred that were not God’s will, nor did He “allow” them. God “allowing“ everything on earth is only true in the sense that He allows humans to possess a free will - we have the power of choice. I once heard the great Foursquare Pastor, Jack Hayford, say regarding this topic, “God is sovereign, but in His sovereignty, He has limited Himself.” He also said, “The quest of Jesus Christ on the earth is greatly crippled by wrong notions of the sovereignty of God.” Pastor Hayford has a way with words! His point in the second statement was that a wrong concept of the sovereignty of God causes complacency and passivity in people...at times, irresponsibility. They believe - whether consciously or unconsciously - that God is in control of everything and will do what He wants, regardless of our involvement. This is so wrong. God works on earth through people. He needs our cooperation. Having stated this balancing truth, I want to share the fourth passage of scripture regarding Holy Spirit shifting us from phase to phase, season to season. His divine shifts, changing the times and seasons (Daniel 2.20-21), occurs in us, not just in the world around us. Psalm 84:4-7 says we go from strength to strength: “How blessed are those who dwell in Thy house! They are ever praising Thee. How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring. The early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength, every one of them appears before God in Zion.” “Baca” means weeping; therefore, the valley of Baca means “the valley of weeping.” We frequently refer to difficult times and situations in life as valleys. As we pass through these valleys - aren’t you glad they aren’t permanent - refreshing springs can burst forth as we cooperate with God. A valley of tears can be transformed into a place from which the water of life flows. A barren, dry place can be transformed into a place of springs. Notice that the place of new strength, doesn’t emerge after Baca, it is actually born at Baca - the place of weeping. The Hebrew word used for “strength” is also very revealing. Chayil is from the root word chuwl, the Old Testament word for travail or giving birth to something. What a picture! When we walk in faith and perseverance through difficult places, God can actually use them to birth (chuwl) new places of strength (chayil) in us. Like the cocoon of a butterfly, Baca can become a place of transformation. And like the butterfly, our destiny is not the cocoon of Baca - weeping; our destiny is the flight of freedom and victory. The dry, barren places in our lives can indeed become places from which the river of life flows and new strength is born. God has been doing much work in this troubling time on earth. Unfortunately, many Christians have not realized that the difficult seasons of travail are often the conduit to bring us to new levels. Rather than persevering through these seasons, many have despised the Bacas in their lives and grown bitter or cynical. Rather than going from strength to strength, they unwittingly choose to remain in Baca, making it home. They don’t move from a place of plowing and sowing to one of reaping and blessing. Tragically, many miss the shifting of the times and seasons God wants to do for them. Chayil, the word for strength, is also the word for army and for wealth. We can fight more effectively and prosper to a greater degree after having gone through the valleys of Baca - if we make them our servants. Yes, it can be difficult; we may not understand what is happening at the time, and it may even seem like we’re losing ground. But if we faithfully press on, allowing God to use the Baca times, He will transform them into boot camps and springs of blessing. Once on the other side, we’ll realize we’re stronger and more prosperous than before. God wants us to go from one position of victory to another, from one phase of soldiering to another - enlistment to Bootcamp to infantry and so on. Some will go on to special forces. Allow Holy Spirit to do what is necessary to shift you into the new. He will take you from one stage to another, and another, and another. Pray with me: Father, You have the necessary omniscience and omnipotence to transform anything satan, people, or life’s circumstances bring our way. What they mean for evil, You can use it for our good. Places of weeping can become birthing chambers, cocoons that house us while we’re transformed into those who can fly. Nothing can outmaneuver, outsmart, or out-plan You. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. This is true for us individually, but it’s also true for nations. You are Ruler over the nations. We anchor ourselves to this truth. In America, though the righteous have been weeping, You are going to use this season to birth something new and good. We will allow nothing else. We use the authority You gave us to bind and loose, forbid and allow (Matthew 16:18-19), and we will accept nothing else. We pray now for our brothers and sisters who have gone through difficult circumstances. The season has been very painful for many. But we now agree with them that You will do something good with it, and bring them forth as pure gold. Heal their hearts and strengthen their wings. In Christ’s name, amen. Our decree: We decree that going from strength to strength is our destiny; Baca is not our home. Portions of today’s post were taken from my book God’s Timing for Your Life.

PROPHETIC WORD 1/14/23 THE RECKONING IS UPON YOU ... View MorePROPHETIC WORD 1/14/23 THE RECKONING IS UPON YOU The Lord said the Reckoning is upon My people. A "Reckoning" is a righting what was done wrong and recovery of what was lost, but not just what was lost but what you never had; My people finally receiving what they never had in the first place. There are blessings coming your way you never knew you wanted or needed. They are heavenly blessings, heavenly gifts and heavenly joys. The Reckoning brings a "recompense"; a recompense against the enemy and not just a replacement of what My people have lost in the fierce storms they have previously walked through, but a sevenfold replacement; sevenfold return of heavenly blessings to recompense on the enemy's head what he has brought against you for evil, what he has brought against you to destroy you and to break you. My true Reckoning is at hand, the enemy will watch My people flourish and become more fruitful than ever before; more souls will be saved than ever before, not just a double portion but sevenfold! Seven times the amount of souls coming into My kingdom and seven times the amount of Miracles, Signs and Wonders are going to be released and produced through the Reckoning. Seven times the financial blessing and provision. The enemy will be the only one looking back with regret, he will regret the suffering and the pain he's brought upon My people and the hindrances and the blocks that he is insisted on putting in their way to slow them down and push them back. The Reckoning is here! Embrace what heaven is bringing My people and trust that I know exactly what you need, you will be receiving what you never knew you wanted or needed. You will receive what you've never had, embrace all this with joy and run without looking back. Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14 AMP PRESS FORWARD MY PEOPLE Embrace and press into what's ahead without fear, as the Reckoning is upon you and recompense is coming to the enemy. Run with joy forgetting what's behind and trusting all that I'm doing ahead of you. Sevenfold blessing is upon you, embrace it and press on in true victory.
