Do Not Fear/Be Ready to Help.....Day 18


 

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NLT)


Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.  And do everything with love.




I have a word in my heart this morning.


Do not fear
Do not get entangled in the world’s battle
Do not join the broken chorus of clamor and noise
Do not look with just the eyes of your mind or even heart

Be ready to Help
Be ready to be Hospitable
Be ready to Care
Be ready to Love
Be ready to Hold
Be ready to Comfort

Hatred is of The World
Chaos is of The World

We are to be The  Light
We are to be a Place of Peace

In Christ there is No Distinction
We are One Race
We are One People
Of One Spirit
Serving One God

We are The Body of Christ
The Hands Of God
The Voice of God

The Lord Jesus is working with us
Empowering us
Strengthening us
Providing for us
Guiding us

I plead with you
I beg of you
I would take out my own heart and show you if I could

Do not fear
Do not get entangled in the world’s battle
Do not join the broken chorus of clamor and noise
Do not look with just the eyes of your mind or even heart
Look with The Eyes of Christ



Psalm 27:13  (NLT)


Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

 

Job 11:13-20 (NLT)


“If only you would prepare your heart
and lift up your hands to him in prayer!
Get rid of your sins,
and leave all iniquity behind you.

Then your face will brighten with innocence.
You will be strong and free of fear.
You will forget your misery;
it will be like water flowing away.
Your life will be brighter than the noonday.
Even darkness will be as bright as morning.
Having hope will give you courage.
You will be protected and will rest in safety.
You will lie down unafraid,
and many will look to you for help.
But the wicked will be blinded.
They will have no escape.
Their only hope is death.”


Isaiah 28:5-6 (NLT)


Then at last the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will himself be Israel’s glorious crown.


He will be the pride and joy
of the remnant of his people.


 He will give a longing for justice
to their judges.



He will give great courage
to their warriors who stand at the gates.


 

James 5 (NLT)

 

Warning to the Rich

Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you on the day of judgment. For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The wages you held back cry out against you. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. You have condemned and killed innocent peopl who do not resist you.

Patience and Endurance

Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.
Don’t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look—the Judge is standing at the door!
10 For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.
12 But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.

The Power of Prayer

13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. 17 Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! 18 Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.

Restore Wandering Believers

19 My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, 20 you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

A Dream and A Warning-- Day 17





I was in a hard place the other day. It was just one of those days that the emotions and flesh were gaining ground. Before I went to bed I looked up to The Lord and said; "Please Lord, speak to me tonight". I was asking from a place of desperation in my heart and soul, much like when David poured out his heart to God.

I do not feel comfortable posting on here why I do not like crying out to God in this manner concerning speaking to me in the night. I will say this, that it has been the battle line many times, and I am left exhausted  and emotionally spent for days sometimes.......That is as much as I feel comfortable revealing right now.

Well, it was indeed a battle night again. I did indeed had a very vivid dream, that, although it didn't  leave me so drained, it wasn't real pleasant either. I kind of blew it off in disappointment, saw some tid-bits of God in it, but, it was a rough dream, so I left it alone.

Tonight during prayer, and seeking God in the way He speaks to me, the puzzle began to come together. Many times I will have pieces in front of my eyes. I have posted on it before with a great picture, if you wish to find it after. Anyway, I had these pieces again, a few scriptures, the dream, the type of resistance I have been dealing with, a news clip that caught my eye, just seemingly random things....

At one point during my fellowship with The Lord, I lifted up, with His help, a complaint I have in my heart about Him. Yes, He sees everything, there no sense in hiding what you really feel in your heart toward God, sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes He puts it there to stir you to pray in a way everyone else is afraid to...Selah.....

My complaint is between The Lord and I, however at one point, I mentioned the dream to Him, complaining, that I wanted Him to speak to me clearly, but instead, I had to battle again. 

He simply said: "Look at the dream again", and He then asked me a question, that opened the whole dream up. I saw the Prophetic Significance for myself and, more importantly,  The Church in the coming days.....

I wish I could show you the dream. Words are only so useful in things like this, but I will try my best, and trust The Holy Spirit for the rest.



The Dream:

I was drawn into this building that resembled a mall. There was something outside that drew me in, something that pulled the flesh. I walked up to the second floor and was led into a shower with a very attractive woman. I was totally being led by the flesh and did not notice the activity going on around me. 

The dream became graphic, so I will obviously spare the details. I heard a man preaching that caught my attention. I stepped out of the shower, I was clothed, and listened to him. I became aware that this place was a type of church. There were men preaching as people were going about their business. 

I stood there as I sensed The Holy Spirit begin to impress on me that these men were the leaders of this sinful place. There were several of them standing in corners preaching but my attention was focused on one, as I listened to him read from the Bible. 

I knew he was twisting the scripture to condone the sin that was in the place. He knew that the people were distracted by the allure of the flesh and pleasure so he kept speaking, seemingly in the background. 

I could tell he was building toward something, the more he spoke, the more agitated I became. He then went from twisting scripture and deluding the people, to declaring that he and the other leaders were above The Word and he declared themselves to Be God himself.

I then began to aggressively rebuke him. I do not remember what I said, but I came against him hard and with an authority. He couldn't seem to stand once he was confronted. I began to yell over the railing, warning the people.

I was now aware that these men had lured people in from the street through lust, offered pleasure,vice and distractions, while they spoke into their hearts lies and deceit,  in the background they were able to sow lie upon lie, building up to the greatest lie, all while the people were distracted and deceived by lust and pleasure. 

The leaders scattered. I ran outside and found some men in a car trying to flee. At first I was angry with them, thinking they were the leaders of this place, but as I plead with them to repent and not to leave, they would not even look at me. I pleaded with them with all my heart. I told them that I understand what they are going through, that lust was so deceitful.

As I was begging them to listen, they would not even acknowledge me. Not in a rebellious or angry way, but they looked afraid. They were pretending not to hear, like they were to scared to even look and hear what I was saying. I felt sick inside for these men. I tried to tell them that I was once trapped  in the addiction and oppression of these things. They were too  frightened and ashamed to even try and break free. 

No matter what I said, no matter how much I tried to tell them that I knew exactly what they were feeling, they would not even look at me.....they left...the dream ended.



Those of us called to prayer and called to be Spiritual Armor Bearers in The Body of Christ, can not allow ourselves to be distracted by the flesh or the things we can be drawn away by.

The leaders of this false church, felt comfortable and hidden, as they spoke spell like false doctrines into those who were under their roof. All it took was for them to be confronted by someone with authority and anointing, and they fled. 

But, it was too late for many, they had been deceived too long, they were too ashamed and too gripped by the allure of pleasure and lust, they would not even look at the truth.....

The Five Fold ministry gifts must be alert and grounded in sound doctrine these last days.

Our enemy is using seducing spirits to draw in and distract many right now. Standing in the place of a preacher, pretending to be a messenger of light. Subtly twisting scripture in the background, so at the time when he feels ready, he can bring a damning doctrine into the church.

Sexual sin and the other sins of the flesh are just the hook and the blinders. His goal is to remove Christ from His throne in the minds and hearts of those in his grip.

I will let the scriptures that I felt led to post speak from here. I know a couple do not seem to fit, but I sense in a short time they will. 





Isaiah 2:12-22

New King James Version (NKJV)


12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,

And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols He shall utterly abolish.
19 They shall go into the holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the earth,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,

And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 Sever yourselves from such a man,
Whose breath is in his nostrils;
For of what account is he?

 

 

Jeremiah 23:20-24
New King James Version (NKJV)

20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart.
In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.
21 “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran.
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in My counsel,
And had caused My people to hear My words,
Then they would have turned them from their evil way
And from the evil of their doings.
23 “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?
24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

 

 

Obadiah 1:11-16

New King James Version (NKJV)


11 In the day that you stood on the other side—
In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
When foreigners entered his gates
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
Even you were as one of them.
12 “But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother

In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.
15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
16 For as you drank on My holy mountain,

So shall all the nations drink continually;
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
And they shall be as though they had never been.

 

 

Timothy 3:1-9

New King James Version (NKJV)


Perilous Times and Perilous Men

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

 

Revelation 2:18-23

New King James Version (NKJV)


The Corrupt Church

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 
Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their[ deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works

Brian Nhira- "Dream On" on Good Day Tulsa 2013-- Day 16



There is no better way to post today than this song. My new favorite. 

I confided in a trusted friend today, Faith, about my struggles and her response fit well also. 
I will paraphrase: 

"Don't allow your attention to be drawn elsewhere right now. You are to close to the finish line. This is why horses wear blinders in a race"  Amen.






Lyrics



Verse 1:
Seems like everyone just wants to crush your dreams
But the only place you feel at rest, is when you're dreaming

Verse 2:
All These Hopes and dreams are tattooed on your heart
And no matter what anybody say, not going anywhere

Chorus:
So don't stop dreamin', even when you stand alone, no.
Don't stop dreamin', even when all hope is gone, no.

Verse 3:
Day by day these get stronger in your heart
And day by day they get harder to explain
No matter how hard you try, still not understood

Chorus:
But don't stop dreamin', even when you stand alone, no.
Don't stop dreamin', even when all hope is gone, no.
Don't Stop dreamin', even when you're all alone, no.
Don't stop dreamin', even when all hope is gone, no.

Bridge:
If these dreams are from you God
Then why do those I care for most, Shut them down
How do I explain it to them?
How do I make them understand?
That these are my dreams, these are from you God

Chorus:
But don't stop dreamin', even when you stand alone, no.
Don't stop dreamin', even when all hope is gone, no.
Don't Stop dreamin', even when you're all alone, no.
Don't stop dreamin', even when all hope is gone, no.
Don't stop. Dream On.

Day 14-15





Some powerful things are about to happen in The Church and The World. 
Divine Protection among Gods Judgment  and Demonic Chaos.



Some powerful voices about to go out. 

Many "Sauls", persecutors of The Church, turning into mighty "Pauls", with Great Wisdom and Influence to reach the Blind,  Agnostic and Atheist. 

Many hidden, quiet voices about to be released from even the most unlikely vessels, with Great Boldness, to demonstrate His Power and Glory!



A spirit of repentance flowing through The Church. True Repentance and True Salvation.



DESTINY!

There are some voices that are about to go out!
That will raise in The Body a Victory Shout!
The forces of darkness are shaking in fear!
They know that The Final Harvest is here!
Jesus Our LORD, has risen The Banner of His Word
The Power of His Spirit is about shake the nations of this world…
Jehovah is preparing, by calling His elect into The Light
So they can join His Army, and Engage in The Fight
From the North and the South:The East and The West
The called out ones are coming into their rest!
The voice of The Shepard, The Message of His Blood and The Truth of His Cross
Gleaning the Kings Garden, separating the Silver from The Dross
His name being Exalted, above all that would offend
As The Almighty, All Powerful God…His children He will DEFEND!
This is a battle of His Making and Choice
A separated time for The Triumphant Church to Overcome and Rejoice!
GLORY..GLORY..GLORY….
TO THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!

Kneeling Warriors Who LOVE The Church! Day 13




 


 I am posted today to plead with whoever reads this, to take up the mantle and the mission of intercessory prayer for The Body of Christ.

Stir up in yourself a love for The Church. Not a passive, weak, soft love, but a love that is willing to go on the offensive for The Church, that is willing to defend her even unto death. (Death of self in prayer, for the purposes of this post)

Allow The Holy Spirit to move you with such compassion that you begin to intercede intensely for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Lift up the leaders of churches all across the world, in all the nations.

Even those more visible, media type preachers that you do not agree with, lift them up in prayer, pray that they would hear the voice of The Lord. You may not agree with them,  pray for them not against them for the sake of the people. Let God decide who to lift up and bring down. When we as people of prayer try and do it for Him, we are tying His hands, He will not move on our prayers.

Pray for the Christians in hostile nations. Pray that a great outpouring of intercession and power would be released on their behalf.

I am reposting the articles below, in hopes that they will stir you to prayer. After today, I will be reposting a few posts that I sense need to be read by somebody out there, or several people, that The Lord wants to speak to.




Call Them In to Send Them Out!!!


They will come from Many Nations.
With a Common Vision.
On a Holy Mission.
To fulfill with Burning Passion.
The LORDS Great Commission.





Prayer-A Life of Prayer



Below I have posted a couple of past post, mixed in with some nuggets of wisdom I have gained on this long, and sometimes odd, journey of Prayer that The Lord has had me on since I was a small child.

I pray they bless you and help you enter deeper into the place where your prayers become more effective in the lives of others and The Church.


"Intercession involves more than just prayer. Learn about your subject, study it, become well familiar with it. If you don't care enough to learn deeply about your subject, how can you enter in with compassion and empathy?"  Randy Furco


The Ministry Of Prayer

Lets start with our essential scripture verses for The Ministry of Prayer to, and for ,The Body of Christ Locally and Globally!!


Romans 8:26-28
Amplified Bible (AMP)


So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groaning too deep for utterance.

And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.

We are assured and know that {God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.



I feel led by The Holy Spirit to re-emphasize these verses and plead with whoever He may lead to read this, to take up this Ministry to your Local Church and The Body of Christ Globally.

My heart is assured that we have past a road marker of sorts in The Spirit. More than any other time in the history of The Church, I believe the Ministry of Prayer as explained and revealed in the verse above is needed, is mandatory and is the call of every mature spirit filled Christian.

Our brothers and sisters in Christ need us. Our leaders need us. We are a family. We are an army and we are connected in a very real way both naturally and spiritually.

There are things that the enemy has sent his servants on assignment to accomplish, in order to disrupt Gods plan for His Children and The Church. There are Angels sent from heaven on assignment for God to bring His Plans and Purposes to pass.

In the middle of this battle is us, The Church! The enemy already has mankind in his grip. His focus is to keep them blinded and buffet the Church so we will lose real Faith in The Lord Jesus and His Word!

The outcome of The war is and has been already determined. However the outcome of the battles we are in now, and will be in soon, depends on The Ministry of Prayer! I will state that again.

The outcome of The war is, and has been, already determined. However the outcome of the battles we are in now, and will be in soon, depends on The Ministry of Prayer.

In closing I will say what I said in an earlier post. There is ALWAYS a part we play in receiving Gods promises. The above promise is no different!

"We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose."


We must purposefully take up The Ministry of Prayer for The Local Church and The Body of Christ in The World.

"Anyone who would say a life of intercession is not a life of discipline,dedication and hard work: Does not live a life of intercession." Randy Furco


Prayer/Tongues and The Will of God


Romans 8:26-28
Amplified Bible (AMP)

So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groaning too deep for utterance.

And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.

We are assured and know that [[a]God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.


I don't think there is a better translation that brings out the revelation of these verses than The Amplified Bible. I chose to only post three verses, because the revelation is so deep,so profound that I want to be sure the reader grabs what The Lord is saying.

We have heard the verse over and over that says "All things work together for good....", but is this always true, no matter what? Or, like with any promise of God, is there an essential part we must play?

First, all things don't just magically work together for good. You can choose to do many things, that will quite hinder you, and not work together for your good, can't you? Within yourself, you can't control all circumstances or other people.

What, and most importantly, Who does the scripture reveal, that is essential to "All things working together for good..."

The revelation about the importance of the ministry of The Holy Spirit in a Believers life, in The Church and in the world on behalf of the Believer, is revealed mightily, not only in these verse, but in this entire chapter of Romans.

My friend you can pray from your mind. You can know The Word, you can be as religious as you like. But unless you are actively allowing God, through His Holy Spirit to partner with you in your labor of prayer, you are missing out on the promises of these verses. Not only for yourself, but your family, your church and your community.

I have stated it before, and without reservation I will state it here. If believers all across the planet, all of a sudden stopped praying in tongues, the foundations of the world systems would begin to fail, the foundations of government would begin to collapse. The enemy of God and man would reek havoc on The Church and mankind........

The only ministry, that is able to cause all things to work together for good, is The Ministry of The Holy Spirit partnering with the prayers and intercession of The Church on earth. This is how God causes His Will and Plan to come to pass on earth. This is how His purposes are accomplished.

This is why the verse says "who love God and are called according to HIS Purposes". The Church and an individual believer must be standing in a place of salvation and in a place where they have submitted themselves to Gods purposes. Then in that agreement, The Holy Spirit joins forces to cause Gods Plans and Purposes to be revealed and manifested on earth.

Don't limit what God can do through your effectual fervent, spirit filled prayer. He, right now, is asking you to join forces with him, and pray in the SPIRIT, PRAY IN TONGUES! If you have not been baptised in The SPIRIT with the evidence of speaking in tongues, then just ask The Father, and He will do so.

Allow Him to use you to bring His will to earth. Allow him to use your heart and voice to cause all things to work together for good, not only for you, but set your focus even higher, for The Church in The World!!!!!!


"The Life of an Intercessor can become so attached, so in tune with what The Lord wants to do on the earth through His Church, that their life becomes a living testament, an amazing journey, only fully understood by God and His chosen vessel." Randy Furco




Prayer For The Healing of The Body of Christ!!


The Body of Christ is in need of healing. There comes a time in the life of a believer that the Lord wants them to stand for healing, to stand for what belongs to them.

We can carry the scars and damage of past sin in our physical body. We can walk around with the remnant of brokenness and pain resonating in our body. Often times, we don't even realize how these things are holding us back, damaging our environment and the very people we are called to love.

The Lord loves us, is patient and merciful to us. However, we must, at one point, yield to His healing and delivering work in order to properly fulfill our mission and purpose.

There comes a day that He will lead us into a battle, that the outcome of ,will not only affect our destiny, but the destiny of others. A battle that will be presented to us as a clear choice, to fight, or not. To progress or not. To take ground or yield ground to our enemy.

So it is, with The Body of Christ, in this nation, right now. We have carried within The Lords Body, scars, pain, unforgiving, resentment and hate, for far too long. The LORD will have none of it any longer. The Church is His Body, and He demands that those in His Body yield and allow Him to heal.

He is no longer content with allowing his Body to walk this nation broken, scarred, segregated, full of distrust and hate. He is no longer willing for His Body to be out of balance and unhealthy.

He is leading us into a battle of His Making. Many will have a clear choice, to choose healing or not. To fight or not. Those who choose to stand and be healed will enter into a glorious ministry of reconciliation and deliverance.

Those who choose to hold on to the brokenness, prejudice, pain and resentment will remain unhealed and be subject to the attack of hatred that is coming upon this nation. Trying to battle using natural means that are doomed to fail.

I see in The Spirit a new labor of prayer. A battle in prayer to drive out of The Body of Christ all that offends. So that she can be free and able to move unhindered. Yes, drive out prejudice and racism. Yes drive out materialism. Yes drive out the foul political Spirit that has gripped her. Yes drive out dead religion, doubt and unbelief.

Drive out every false doctrine, worthless debate and foolish babbling. So much to drive out, so little time. However what He has determined.....He shall accomplish.



2 Chronicles 7:14-16
Amplified Bible (AMP)

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place.

For I have chosen and sanctified (set apart for holy use) this house, that My Name may be here forever, and My eyes and My heart will be here perpetually.



"It can be hard at times for the intercessor to see another standing on the stage or platform that he or she spent years laboring over in prayer. To see the fruit of their prayers in so many other lives, yet still have to struggle with issues in their own. 

Jealousy and Envy is always knocking at the door. That is okay, do not be condemned. Take it to The Lord, He understands, He will not scold or reject you. He is invested in your life and ministry. Leave it at His alter with joy, naked and not ashamed, and He will be faithful every time to give back to you the joy and peace that comes with seeing the fruit of your laboring with His Holy Spirit" Randy Furco





A Type and Shadow of Speaking In Tongues??
(Some edits of original post)

Notice, in the verses below, that although Hannah was not speaking she was pouring her soul out to God, from a deep place in her heart. So deep that she could not express it with words, only the utterance of her soul could express it.

She was praying very much like the rivers of living water that flow from our Spirit man, from that deep river that is released when we enter into fervent prayer. We pray in The Spirit out to God, uttering words that we do not know, crying out to The Lord!

Oh I believe with all my heart, that Hannah, if she was filled with The Holy Spirit would have been praying in tongues fervently, crying out to The Lord. I am convinced that this account is SHADOW AND A TYPE of deep,fervent prayer in The SPIRIT.

The kind of prayer that avails much and changes the course of lives,cities and nations!!


1 Samuel 1:12-17
Amplified Bible (AMP)


And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli noticed her mouth.

Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.

Eli said to her, How long will you be intoxicated? Put wine away from you.

But Hannah answered, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I was pouring out my soul before the Lord.

Regard not your handmaid as a wicked woman; for out of my great complaint and bitter provocation I have been speaking.

Then Eli said, Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.



The Next Chapter shows Gods Judgement and Mercy. Mercy toward Hannah. judgement toward Eli's sons. AND The the ministry of Samuel, a foreshadowing of Christ. Below Hannah's Prayer is prayed out, and the result of her prayers are Nation Changing. She prayed for a child and that Child was Part of Gods plan on Earth. A living testament to the life of an intercessor!


1 Samuel 2
New Living Translation (NLT)

Hannah’s Prayer of Praise

Then Hannah prayed:


“My heart rejoices in the Lord!
The Lord has made me strong.[a]
How I have an answer for my enemies;

I rejoice because you rescued me.

No one is holy like the Lord!
There is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.

“Stop acting so proud and haughty!
Don’t speak with such arrogance!
For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done;
he will judge your actions.

The bow of the mighty is now broken,
and those who stumbled are now strong.

Those who were well fed are now starving,
and those who were starving are now full.

The childless woman now has seven children,
and the woman with many children wastes away.

The Lord gives both death and life;
he brings some down to the grave[b] but raises others up.

The Lord makes some poor and others rich;
he brings some down and lifts others up.

He lifts the poor from the dust
and the needy from the garbage dump.

He sets them among princes,
lacing them in seats of honor.

For all the earth is the Lord’s,
and he has set the world in order.

“He will protect his faithful ones,
but the wicked will disappear in darkness.

No one will succeed by strength alone.

Those who fight against the Lord will be shattered.
He thunders against them from heaven;
the Lord judges throughout the earth.

He gives power to his king;
he increases the strength of his anointed one.”



Then in The New Testament:


ACTS 2:13-21
AMP

And all were beside themselves with amazement and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another, What can this mean?

But others made a joke of it and derisively said, They are simply drunk and full of sweet [intoxicating] wine.

But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be [explained] to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say.

For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only] the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day;

But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams.

Yes, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to God's kingdom].

And I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor;

The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes--that great and notable and conspicuous and renowned [day].

And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord {invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord--Christ] shall be saved.
