Praying for Your Nation

 Join us in praying for your nation and the nations of the earth that the Holy Spirit and the Fire of God will fall transforming your nation. Remember God is already moving, all we need to do is ask.
   Max Lucado is right: "Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference." (James 5:15)

The Evil One loads the mind with hate and the heart pulls the trigger.

                         God comes to Love and Comfort. 
 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (NIV) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. ⁵ For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

God is Moving in the Moment

By Richard L. Spangler

   The Lord recently to me spoke “Stop saying I am moving in the hour, I am moving in the moment. What I am doing is different than any other move.  This is a time of my extravagance, there are things that are being released that have not been seen before on the earth. Do not look back to the way I moved before, do not hold onto the past.”

   In Matthew 14:22-36 we an example of God doing something new. We are familiar with the story, Jesus comes walking on the water to the disciples. This was something that had never happened. No one had ever seen a man walking on the water. The disciples were afraid, I would have.  Jesus said, “Do not be afraid, It is I.”  Then Peter, said, “ If it is you Lord tell me to come.” Jesus said, “Come.” In spite of everything Peter had experienced and knew about water, he stepped out of the boat. Peter walked on water until he started looking at storms and not Jesus. Jesus rescued him and they walked together.

  This a time, that Jesus is calling us to get out of our boats and walk with him into the “new” that is happening in this moment. But sadly, there are many that staying in their boats. Their attitude is, this is my boat, I like my boat and I am not letting go of my boat.

    A boat can be any number of things: the Jesus movement of the 1960s, the Charismatic Renewal of the 1970s, the Word of Faith of the 1980s and the Toronto Father’s Blessing and Pensacola Revival of 1990s and the early 2000s. All of these moves were new and different than what had come before and all were great.  These moves served their purpose, blessing God’s people and people all over the world came to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Each time, there was a new move, we had to be willing to let go of the old boat and walk on the water into the new move of God. But, at some point, we build boats of tradition around these moves and became comfortable with our religious boats. They became “our boats”. To be able to experience and be part of what God is doing in the moment, each of us need to let go of “my boat” and step out and walk on the water with Jesus.

  There will be storms raging around us as there were before. The world is always in storms whether manmade or created by the devil. We need to keep our focus on Jesus and walk with him.

 God is saying, “Come and walk with me on the water.” The choice is ours, we can hold onto our boats or we can let go and walk on the water with Jesus. I choose to walk in the moment with Jesus, how about you?

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

ALL IN

By Richard L. Spangler

Many in the church are asking, praying, and believing for a great global awakening. Many prophets are hearing from God that he is indeed moving and a billion souls will be coming to Christ in this awakening. How is this going to happen? Is God, by the Holy Spirit going to move in a great massive move on people’s hearts, and instantly be a billion conversions to Christ happen? God could do that, but he wants to do it through you. His call to you is to be “All In.”

The phrase “All in” means to be totally committed to something.  Prime examples of this are found in 2 Chronicles 2 – 7:3. King Solomon and all Israel were totally committed to building the Temple. We see the results of being “All in” in 2 Chronicles 5:11-14, “the glory and brilliance of the Lord filled the house of God” This happens again after Solomon’s prayer of dedication 2 Chronicles 7:1-3. A fire comes down from heaven consumes the burnt offerings, and the sacrifices. The Shekinah fill the House of God and all the people see it and worship God.  

Another example is found in Acts 1:12-Acts 2. There were 120 disciples gathered in the upper room waiting for days for the promised Holy Spirit.  They were “all in.” Remember they were in Israel, to say the least, a very warm location at that time of year. A room with a 120 people in it was hot, cramped, and uncomfortable. They gave up their normal lives. They knew Jesus and were committed to waiting for the promise. We know the results of their being “All in.” The Holy Spirit came, and the church was born, and 3000 were added in one day.

God is calling us to be “All in,” committed to having an intimate relationship with Him. Listen to His voice and do what he says. Be a part of this great global awakening that is coming.  Billions of people are hanging in the balance. The question is, “Are you willing to be, “All In?”

Third Level Blessing Revisited

By Richard L. Spangler
At the urging of the Holy Spirit, I am reposting this article. This teaching connects to the recent Open Hands Article. As you pray this prayer, pray for the double blessing for everyone you are praying over. I hope this Blesses You.

 While attending a Ministering Spiritual Gifts Conference I heard a teaching by

Apostle John Burkholder of Buffalo, NY. Apostle Burkholder taught on Luke 6:38,
“Give and it will be given to you a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you.”

             He stated, that he prays this over his offerings regularly. One day as he was praying  this verse, God spoke to him that he was praying it wrong. Apostle John
asked how that he was praying it wrong. The Lord stated it was not enough to pray
for his offering to blessed, but he needed to pray for those who the Lord spoke to:
 to give to him to be blessed, so that they could give.

Then the Lord took it to another level, not only was to pray for blessings for those who were to give to him but also pray for those who were to bless the givers so that they could bless the givers. This is a third level blessing.

This takes blessing others to a whole different level; it takes it beyond simple
addition into a multiplication of blessings. God is a God of multiplication. We see at
creation in Genesis how God commanded everything living thing to be fruitful and
multiply (not add).

 This is true in blessings as well as praying for others to be blessed. If we pray in the
matter stated above, our blessings will be multiplied as well.  So as you give your
tithes and offerings, pray for those who are to give to you, to be blessed, and also for
hose who are to bless them to receive a blessing.

Here is a personal example. I prayed over my offering that afternoon and on Sunday
at church. Now my wife has had some physical issues that prevented her from
working for more than two years. (God has been faithful in His provision for us).
  We and her doctors agreed that she should apply for disability. So, she set down and
filled out all the paperwork and submitted it. Her claim was promptly rejected. She
appealed. We were to go to an appeals hearing on the next Tuesday. I was told that I
could say nothing during the hearing, so I just sat there and prayed quietly in the
Spirit. The judge stated that it appeared my wife qualified and that we would be
notified in 7 to 10 days of his decision. We were excited and praised God. It gets
better, our attorney called on Friday, stating that the judge’s decision had already
been given and he ruled in our favor! She stated it would at least two months before
we received any back payments (two years’ worth) and then monthly checks. We
again rejoiced. Then on the following Tuesday, the lawyer called, stating she did not
understand it but the checked was already processed and mailed. We were stunned. On Friday we received a check for two years’ worth of back payments. Praise the
Lord.  We tithed on what we received and I again prayed over it and now waiting to
see what God does now.

            Again I want to encourage you, when you give your tithes and offerings praying for God’s blessing. Then go beyond that praying for others to be blessed so they can bless you. Finally, take it to the third level of blessing, praying for those to be blessed that are to bless those who are to bless you. Then, watch and see what God will do.

Pray for Your City

As I reflect on, the United Cry 16 in D.C., Azusa Now in L.A. and Houston and prayer meetings across this country and Canada on Saturday April 9,2016, this is what I sense from the Holy Spirit .Today as we pray we Will be not only bring about a move of the Holy Spirit in North America but we will be raising a wall. This wall, is a wall of protection of God for North America. It will run from D.C. north along the east coast of the United States and Canada. It will run south... along the east coast coming around and moving west along the Gulf Coast connecting with the wall running from Houston to the east. The Houston connection will not only run east but will also run west protecting the southern border of the United States and connecting with the L.A. portion of the wall running east. The L.A. Prayer Wall will run the length of West Coast of United States and Canada reaching the farest points of Alaska and Canada, also reaching across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. This is far greater and more powerful than any physical wall and must be maintained by the prayers of the Saints of God! !
So today, raising this Wall of the Lord God's Protection and maintaining it is just the end of beginning of what God is doing in North America, so saints let's get to work, relying on the Holy Spirit to lead us into another Great Awakening that will not only effect the United States and Canada but every nation and people group on earth!!!

It is with these events in mind, and following the leading of the Holy Spirit, that I asking everyone join us in "Praying for Your City" April 23, 2016 at 10 a.m. (your local time). Check out the event at
