Revival and Awakening
I am feeling the call to pray for
revival and awakening.
Please pray with me;
Lord we have
seen the work of the enemy to destroy this nation and have heard his
threats and seen his actions against your people. We have seen the spirits
of hate and murder unleashed in our land.
Father, this land
was established by covenants with You, to fulfill Your Will in
this land and in the nations of the earth. Lord forgive us for forgetting
and breaking those covenants. Father we desire to fulfill the
covenants proclaimed from the shores of Virginia and Massachusetts
and all the covenants made with You for this land. Father, You who are
Faithful, the Keeper of Covenants arise and walk with us as we keep the
covenants of old.
Father, breathe a
fresh fire of the Holy Spirit into us, cause us stir ourselves. to stir up the
Gifts that you have given us. Direct our steps, overflow us with the Fire
of Your Love that cannot be contained. That we would be transformed and we
go forth and transform this nation.
Start with us, as we
pray, that we would flow with Your Holy Fire and would ignite those
around us. That they would, in turn ignite those that are around them with
Holy Fire. That there would be a Holy Wild Fire that would sweep and transform
this nation and the nations of the earth.
Arise, Lord God of Heaven and God, Keeper of Covenants drive back the
spirits of hate and murder. We stand in Covenant with You Lord God and declare
with You: spirits of hate and murder no more, you are bound and silenced in the
Name of Jesus Christ.
Thank You Father God for keeping the covenants
with us.
In Jesus Name,
Amen

Just One More,Lord!!!
I was
watching the movie Hacksaw Ridge, about Desmond
Doss a Seventh Day Adventist conscientious objector and Medic and Medal of
Honor honoree during World War II.
The battle for Hacksaw Ridge was part of the campaign to take Okinawa. While the Japanese Army held the
ridge, He rescued 75 wounded American Soldiers, lowering them 350 ft., down the side of the escarpment to safety. Captured Japanese Soldiers reported having
him in their gunsights, but their guns would jam when they tried to shoot him.
During this time, he kept praying, “Lord, Just One More!”
That prayer
stayed with me, “Lord Just One More!” I
asked the Lord, “Why is this is staying with me.” Lord said, “I want my people to have that
same cry in their hearts, “Lord Just One More.”
In 1
Corinthians 9:16-27, Paul has this attitude of the heart, doing and being whatever,
it takes for the Gospel.
Mark
16:15-18 (NKJV) Jesus: “And He said to them, “Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who
believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My
name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they
will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no
means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
In Luke
15:1-10, God is all about the just one more. The Shepherd had 99 sheep that
were safe, but there was one that was lost. The
Shepherd was not satisfied until that one lost sheep was found and returned to
the flock (just one more). The woman, who had ten silver coins and then lost
one. She kept searching until it was found (just one more). Then she calls her
friends and neighbors to celebrate. In this passage, we see there is rejoicing
in heaven when one sinner repents (just one more).
Finally, 2
Peter 3:9 says it all: “The Lord is not slow in keeping his
promise, as some understand slowness. Instead,
he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to
repentance.” (NIV) (Just One More).
We are being
called to by the Holy Spirit to have a burning passion in our hearts and
minds, for Just One More, Lord!!
Billy Graham
had this passion; his hear cry was,” Give
me souls, Lord.” In other words, “Just One More.” God has promised the Billy
Graham mantle to the Church, but we also
must have the passion for, Just One More.
We must begin to
stir up ourselves. To begin, to cry aloud to Lord, “Just One More, Lord!! Give
me Just One More,” Then, we must put into action our prayers. We must be courageous
and step out knowing that we are moving with the passion of God.
It’s time for
the passion and the heart cry of the Church to be, JUST ONE MORE. When you get the one, cry out again, “LORD!!!
JUST ONE MORE!!!”

The Adam Relationship
Special Note: I feel it is important to republish this article at this time. Relationship with is key to what is God doing this year and the years to come. Attached are several Prophetic Words for 2018.
As we know, God is restoring all things. When we say this, we are thinking of the restoration of the 5-fold ministry and gifts of the Spirit. Then, all members of the Body of Christ doing the work of the ministry.
But, the Lord is restoring beyond those things. His will and purpose are to restore our relationship with Him. This relationship goes beyond the relationship that King David had, beyond what Joshua and Moses had, beyond what Enoch enjoyed. As wonderful as these relationships were, God wants to bring us back to the relationship that Adam had in the Garden of Eden.
The Adam relationship a place of not only knowing the Will of God for our lives, not only knowing His Voice and seeing what He is doing and moving with Him but knowing Him intimately. It is a place of knowing His footsteps and not only hearing His heartbeat but that we will know what it is to be in the center of His Heart.
The Call of Father God for each of us is to be in a relationship with Him. The purpose of sending His Son Jesus Christ and the giving us the Fullness of the Holy Spirit overflowing our lives is for us for us to have a relationship with Him.
Sadly, many of us never even move beyond the basics of being saved and being filled with the Holy Spirit but there is a desire for more, but many never get to the more of God. The lack of relationship creates a sense of frustration in our spirits and eventually leads many to settle for what that have. There are others who attempt to do it in their strength. Often leading to a legalistic life of reading so much of Word of God and praying many hours a day. These things are good as tools and need to happen, but the Word without the Spirit and prayer without the Spirit lead only to an intellectual knowledge about the relationship with God.
So, how do we reach the relationship that God has purposed us and created us to be in with Him? This requires a shift in the way we do things for God. It requires a shift in our attitude about our relationship with God, our Father. We must realize that relationship is more than what we do for Him.
The relationship comes from spending time with one another not just in the doing of things. The time factor is key. Sadly, many do what has been mentioned above, read the Bible, some study the Bible (there is a difference), and they pray. This is where most of us stumble; we make prayer a one-way litany of our needs with a little praise and thanksgiving to top it off. Then, we are out the door, expecting an answer, but never taking time to listen or spend time with the one we are praying.
Listening is the beginning of a relationship. Psalm 46:10 the NRSV, NIV, ESV, KJV all translate this way, “Be still, and know that I am God.” The NASB says,” Cease striving and know that I am God” and the AMP version, “Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.” In all of these translations, God is saying to us to “stop” realize Who I Am.
How do we be still and start listening? I started, eight years ago, by stopping for 5 minutes at the start of each day, now this means turning off all distractions in our lives, TV, computers, tablets and yes cell phones, and inviting God to come. I would say this: “Father I want to be with you, come and be with me.” Then, I would wait, thinking on God, with the expectation that He would come. Takes some training to keep your mind from wandering off to other things, but you can do it as I did.
Since then my time with the Father has grown and grown, it how goes well beyond the 5 minutes, it is developing into more and more intimate relationship with God.
It has become a knowing that God is with me every day, all day and this fact makes my life exciting and an Adventure in the Spirit, daily.
Salvation opens the way. Being filled with Holy Spirit gives us the power. Studying the Word of God gives us knowledge and prayer start the communication. Taking time to invite God to come and be with us, waiting and listening for Him are the first steps in the restoration of the Adam Relationship in our lives.
There is much more to come. You can begin to experience this relationship with God. God wants you to have it, all you have to do is willing to spend time with Him.
