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)

Selah for Today 10-22-219 - Adventure

 Many people, including believers, live boring and dull lives. They need adventure.

Adventure is defined by Webster's Dictionary as 1) an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks 2) an exciting or remarkable experience. To have days full of adventure, it takes walking by faith. Faith equals adventure. When you walk with God and listen to Him you will have exciting and remarkable experiences every day. So, step out in faith and step into adventure.

  

Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

Deuteronomy 1:11 (NIV)

False Perfectionism

   A few weeks ago, my family and I decided to visit a local church, just to go be refreshed. When we arrived, we learned Pastor Chris was not ministering that day. But, his wife, the co-pastor and first lady would be preaching.

  Pastor Shelia. Said, “That was a Sunday full of surprises. First, God gave her a new message to preach that morning. The second, (looking directly at me) she said, “There is a prophet in the house.” Then the Pastor Shelia walked over to me and said, “Prophet you did not come here just to sit. I am sorry I can’t remember your name (this was fine we had met for the first time the week before).” After I told her my name, said, “After I finish, I am going to turn the mike over to you minister as the Lord leads.” My wife said, “Are you sure you want to do that?” Everyone laughed.

In a few minutes, Pastor Shelia handed me the mike.  The Prophetic Words began to flow, first was the word for this hour, “God is Moving in the Moment,” then there was a word for the church, some individual words, a word for Pastors Chris and Shelia.

 I thought the Lord was done, when the Lord said, “Just one more thing. You all have seen what has happened in the past two years with destruction of people’s lives for things they did 20, or 30 years ago. Even the accusations of something has brought destruction. This is a strategy of the enemy called, False Perfectionism.” This is how the enemy works, he is the accuser of our brothers and sisters, Revelation 12:10. The examples of this are the recent Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Another example is when someone posted something years ago on Facebook or Twitter and it is revealed. Then, their lives and their families are destroyed.

The Lord continued to say, “False Perfectionism is that someone must be perfect, or they are disqualified from serving.  Its purpose is two-fold. First is keep good people from answering the call to serve this nation. The enemy knows that these good people would oppose his plans to destroy this nation. Everyone has things in their past that the enemy uses for this purpose.

  The second is to destroy lives.” At that moment the Lord gave me a vision, I was in an office. There was a man there, who had lost hope because of his past, He opened the desk drawer and pulled out a gun and put it in his mouth. The vision ended.

  The Lord continued to speak, “The enemy has done this my church for years and has now launched this strategy into the nation with a vengeance.

   I have given my church weapons to defeat this strategy. First, you must remember and remind others there is no one who is perfect except for my Son Jesus. Second, tell them that the blood of the Lamb removes all sin. Third, you must walk in forgiveness and mercy. Leave the judging up to me.”

    God has revealed this strategy of the enemy and He has given us powerful weapons. These weapons are Ephesians 6, the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and Revelation 12:11, the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. We need to bold, in showing the forgiveness of God to each other and the to world.

ALL IN!

Many in the church asking praying and believing for a great global awakening. Many prophets, including myself, are hearing from the  Lord that He is indeed moving and many are hearing from the Lord of a billion souls 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 there will instantly be a billion conversions to Christ? God could do that, but He wants to you, His church to do this with Him. His call to the church and individually is to be “All In.”

The phrase “All in” means to be totally committed to something.  To 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. Fire comes down from heaven consumes the burnt offerings, and the sacrifices and 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. So that room with 120 people in it was hot, and there was no deodorant to cut the body odor.  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 and many more every day from that day.

God is calling us to be “All in,” to make the sacrifices to have an intimate relationship with Him. We need to listen to His voice and do what He says to do. Then, all of us will be a part of a great global awakening and a billion people coming to Christ. The big question is, “ Are you willing to be, “All In.”

The Prophets’ Reward

  I had never really thought about the Prophets’ Reward, until one day a lady that the Lord spoke to though me, gave me a bottle of water. She said, “What I had spoken a week or two before has rapidly been coming to pass.” She wanted to give me a bottle of water for the prophets’ reward.  I thanked her and went on my way, still not thinking much about it.

  Later, that night, the prophets’ reward came to me again and I began to meditate on it. The next day I opened an e-mail from Jane Hamon, the title was “The Time of The Prophets’ Reward.”

  At this point, the Spirit leaped in me and I said to myself, “I guess I am supposed to teach on the prophet's reward.” I began a search for the phrase, “prophet’s reward” in the Bible and found only four places where it was mentioned. It is mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 10:40-42 when he sent out the twelve disciples. Jesus also mentions a great reward for those who believe are persecuted just the prophets, in Matthew 5:11-13 and Luke 6:23. Both are mentioned in The Beatitudes at the start of the Sermon on the Mount. The last place mentioned is about the 24 elders in Revelation 11:18 “…and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small."

  The prophet’s reward is great and you will not lose it. We have two examples first is Elijah and the widow at Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. After her statement of the facts, the widow does what Elijah says and there is a  supernatural continuous provision. Then her son dies and a is bought back to life by Elijah. A great reward of provision and restoration of life. The second is in 2 Kings 4:8-36 Elisha and Shunammite woman. The woman served the prophet and received a great reward. She received life and had a son. Then years later the child dies and Elisha restores life to her reward.  So we see the prophets’ reward is one of supernatural provision and an impartation of the life of God into their lives.

   If God’s provision and life are all there is to the prophets’ reward that would be more than enough. But there is more.  
  The greatest reward is the relationship with God. Matthew 10:40-42, when you receive a prophet you are receiving God himself. When the Word is spoken by a prophet, you are receiving far more than just provision and life, you are opening a life-changing relationship with God that you will not lose.

  Receiving is more than just hearing a prophetic word, there is also doing. The widow and Shunammite woman did something. They activated the word in their lives. Sadly, many people hear a word and do nothing with it. True receiving is you taking action. Action starts by believing and praying over the word. Then, when the opportunities to do, then do, step out, even a small step is a beginning.  Then, the prophetic word and the prophets' reward are yours and will not be lost.

Who Are You Part 3

 In part 1 of Who Are You, we looked at the servant. In part 2 we looked at the kings and priest. All of these have varying degrees of relationship with God.

 The next level of relationship is that of a friend.  A friend as defined by Webster’s Dictionary is: 1a: one attached to another by affection or esteem b: acquaintance  2 a: one that is not hostile b: one that is of the same nation, party, or group 3: one that favors or promotes something (as a charity) 4: a favored companion

Enoch was one such person in Genesis 5:22-24Amplified Bible (AMP) ²²Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God after the birth of Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters.²³So all the days of Enoch were 365 years.²⁴And Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God; and he was not, for God took him [home with Him]. This is an amazing friendship with God. This same type of relationship is mentioned of Noah in Genesis 6:8-9.

   In Genesis 18:3 Abraham refers to himself as a servant, but God calls Abraham his friend in Genesis 18:17. This shown by the discussion that follows a friend is allowed debate a decision and servant is not.

 Jesus speaks of friendship and the difference between friends and servants in John 15:15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.]

A friend has a closer relationship than a servant, a priest or king, but a friend can be any of these as well. But there are limits in the relationship of a friend and access to the house. There are parts of a house that is for the family and for the family only. The good news is we are in the family of God.

 We will look at Family of God in the 4^th and final part of this series coming soon.

A Series of Prophetic Words and Visions for this Moment Part 4

  I saw another vision of the United States and there were at least 23 Pillars of Fire coming down across the nation and the fire from these pillars flowing in every direction even crossing the borders with Mexico and Canada. 

  Everywhere the pillars came down and the fire flowed I saw there were times when church buildings were overflowing with people 24 hours a day for weeks at a time. I began to think, there are not enough chairs. The Lord, spoke, “Don’t worry about the chairs most of my people will be on the floor due to My weighty presence filling those places.”  The vision also showed me colleges and schools where the students and teachers and professors were on the floor in the classrooms crying out to God. Regent University is one of these places.

  Then the next vision was of the world. There were thousands of Pillars of Fire coming down on islands, in Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America. Every continent will be touched by this Move. In this vision, God bought me close to the middle east. There was a Pillar of Fire in Israel. This pillar spread the fire into the desert to the south, north into Lebanon and beyond and east to the Euphrates River.

   This is what I have been given so far and I am expecting more.

God also has spoken to me, there are specific prophetic words for regions, cities, and churches in addition to these national and global words and visions. Please contact me for the details at lionsvoiceministries@yahoo.com.

 I hope this encourages and blesses you.

  There will be some of my people who will not move with me. I will still bless them but they will miss the fullness of the blessings that I have for them.

   There will be some who will oppose My moving in this way. If they continue to harden their hearts, I will remove them.”

A Series of Prophetic Words and Visions for this Moment Part 2

Then I saw Three Pillars of Fire coming down from heaven. The first pillar came down on Cape Henry. Its fire flowed over the Chesapeake Bay, flowing up the Eastern Shore and southward along the coast of Virginia Beach and Northeastern North Carolina and covering the Atlantic Ocean for hundreds of miles.

  The second pillar came down on Regent University and CBN. At this point, I heard the Lord say, “I will not allow Regent University to go the way of Harvard or Yale.” This pillar spread out in every direction, connecting to the first pillar and the fire was directed south. The fire flowed into Northern Georgia.  It also connected with the third Pillar of Fire in the west.

   The third Pillar of Fire came down on the Richmond, Virginia area. This fire was directed to west Reaching across the mountains into Tennesse, West Virginia, and Ohio. The fire also spread north covering Wahington D.C. Maryland and flowing into Pennsylvania.

  I asked the Lord, “Why three Pillars of Fire? The Lord answered, “Virginia is the gateway to the nation since the first settlers came ashore and dedicated the land. I am establishing My presence in the gateway. I will keep evil from entering through the gateway.”
