A Missionaries/Disciples Declaration!

When you go forth to Fulfill The Great Commission, given to each one of us, as individuals, and The Church, remember The Words of Jesus: MAKE THEM REAL TO YOU.



Luke 10:19
New King James Version (NKJV)

 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Mark 16:15-20
New King James Version (NKJV)

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.  And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  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.”

So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.


The Lord gave these Prophetic Words to YOU. They are more true for YOU than any prophetic word, that any prophet, at any level could give YOU. Recieve them as such!
Just as if The Lord Himself appeared to you, and stood before you, giving this assignment and these Prophetic Words,take them as yours.

 Remember what He said to Thomas; You have believed because you have seen me alive, with your own eyes, BUT! Blessed are those who believe, without seeing me with their own eyes!!! (PARAPHRASED).

Will you recieve this and follow Him wherever He sends you? If you will trust Him, and His Name, You can declare these Words of Prophecy over yourself,your family and all that are on your team as you go!!!!!



A Declaration From Psalm 91:

Declare this as an individual:


I live in the shelter of the Most High! I find my rest and peace in The Shadow of The Almighty!

I declare this about My Lord:
He ALONE is my REFUGE!
He alone is my place of SAFETY!

He is MY GOD! I put my trust fully in Him and His Name!
He will rescue me from every trap that devil or man may set for me!
He delivers me and heals me of all diseases that I may encounter!

I go forth with confidence and FAITH because:
He covers me with His Spirit! He shelters me with His Mighty Arm!
Delivers me with His Mighty Hand!

These Words are my Armor and Protection, for They were Promised by The Lord!
I will not fear, or dread any attack of the enemy, whether it is by night or day!

I do not fear the diseases, that I may encounter in this place, or those coming upon the world!
I do not fear the images of disater here, or those that are coming upon mankind!

Though I may see death all around me, though death may be on every side.
THIS EVIL WILL NOT TOUCH ME!
THIS HORROR WILL NOT ENTER ME!

It will not overwhelm or conquer me!
For I have made The Lord my Refuge and Shelter!
I will see the punishment of the wicked that has caused such pain to this place!

The Great Call

As I stood looking at The Map of The World a heaviness came over my heart.


I scanned the lands that are controlled by Islamic Extremist, Communist Atheist, Vicious Warlords and Evil Dictators. As I focused on the map, and prayed for these nations, my eyes, both spiritual and natural, were scanning back and forth, the burden of it became too great and:

I said to God: "Who are we kidding,we will never reach them all, we say we will, we say this and that, but we can't, how will we ever truly reach them?"

I heard The Lord say: "You are right, you cant, but I can. I can easily raise up men and women from these nations."

I then saw in my spirit, people being raised up in country after country, nation after nation. I saw God raising up people from within those nations filled with Power and Ability. Bringing them, training them, and sending them back in........


Nothing is impossible to them that believe! Only Believe!!!!      

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.

Who Will Care Enough To Lament

 There are times in prayer that I wonder if anyone sees what I see. Not in a prideful sense or a puffed up sense, but in a way that is heavy on my heart.

I could list the things I am talking about, but it would lead to just more heart ache, because it would start a debate over numerous things that capture mans passion, that frankly God could care very little for.

I have tried to warn people. I have tried to tell people that what they are honoring, respecting and allowing is not of God, or at least, is only tolerated of God, in order to accomplish His Plans and Purposes.

In prayer the other day I was lamenting before God. I looked forward, and saw the end of this window of opportunity, wealthy nations have been given. I saw the waste,the poor stewardship,the greed, the foolishness, the pride, the self promotion, self interest and all the other things that litter The Church.

I saw the piles of ashes that were now worthless. The mounds of wasted opportunity and resources that were given to Leaders in order bring The Gospel to all Nations, and build a powerful spirit filled local church, but were used for other things. I saw the weeping of those who may have given much, but like those who gave before the Widow, they really just gave out of their abundance.

Beyond money and recourse's, the pile of ashes the largest, were made up of  wasted time and talent. Used to build great empires and personal kingdoms instead of planting churches all over the planet. Surrounding the gates of hell with The Local Church, causing The Kingdom of Darkness to tremble and shake.

There is a song I really like, many of you wouldn't like the music, but I challenge you to find the Lyrics and Read them. The song, in a loose way, speaks to a passion for the important things.
It specifically is talking about human trafficking, but very well could be applied to any type of captive that we are called to set free as The Church.

The Song is called "Descending Into Hell" by Sleeping Giant.

I cant go into it all again. I can just pray.

I will leave you with two questions:

1. Do you think God intended for a preacher here to live on a Mountain Top Mansion worth millions of dollars, while his comrades, his own body, die in poverty preaching the gospel in the dark places on earth??  If you are thinking of a debate for this question, or answered yes. Then I lament for you also.

2. Are you worried more about Agendas and Hyper-Protocol, (I am not talking about good protocol, but relationship destroying, us and them protocol.) or setting the captives free?


I decided to post the lyrics I spoke of:


I'm rigged to Fire, and I'm set to blow

I cannot live in this state,
Break down the doors smash every window,
To help the orphans escape

What would Jesus do?
I think illuminate

You know what's "unbiblical?"
That's Jesus sitting sitting in some blackened room
These people live so violated and we're concerned with church agendas

Oh My God

Pure religion says I fight this war

The hidden millions in our own back yard,
Exploited masses
These kids are all alone, waiting for someone

I tell you what's "biblical"
The master came to set the captive free,
And we should be like him,
We will worship and pray, then instigate their release!

I can't see Jesus in this
Pollutes my trust, it fills my heart with hate
I hear their muffled screams, these children terrified

God what is right, I can't stand by and...
I refuse to stand by in this house of fear,
It's innocent kids who pay the real price, in the House of Fear

Take back every throw away life from the House of Fear
Can't live for myself as innocence dies, in the House of Fear!

Holy God Where are you in the dark and hidden place?
How can I sleep when children live as slaves,
These are your people Oh God

I'll pray and I'll move,
Father say the Word!
Cause this is unspeakable, slithering darkness but I'll bring the light
And by the morning they'll all be gone, given the chance to lead a different life

Descending into Hell
Cause these Kids are for sale, we walk into Hell

Descending into Hell
For those locked in a cell, we walk into Hell

Descending into Hell
Some can't speak for themselves, we walk into Hell

Descending into Hell
Even Jesus himself walked into Hell

His Divine Providence

Understanding and Discerning Gods Divine Providence is going to be a key element of Prayer in the days just ahead. This is especially true when it comes to prayer for Israel,The Church and whatever particular Nation you live in. If you are hung up on any FALSE Religious thinking or political bend, you WILL NOT be an effective prey-er.


His Divine Providence and Plans trump not only the evil man would do to interfere with them, but also the good man would try and do to interfere with them.

Remember Peter, he was offering to do a Noble thing in the sight of man. He was going to stop anyone from harming his Master and Lord. But Jesus rebuked him...saying that he was not mindful of the things of God but of Man.

Matthew 16:21-23

New Living Translation (NLT)


21 From then on Jesus[a] began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.

22 But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him[b] for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”

23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

 
One of the most frustrating things for me over the years as a man of Prayer, and a Prayer Leader, has been being in a Cooperate prayer setting, flowing with The Holy Spirit, only to have somebody start praying with a mix of their political bend, personal agenda or own opinion on how church should be done. It causes a cramp in my spirit and mind, and derails what The Lord is doing.
I am sure we all have done it from time to time, but for some, actually for far too many, it has become the only way they pray, especially here in America where The Flag ranks up there with The Cross in the eyes of far too many.


I plead with you with The Grace of God, dont let this be you in these last days. I have warned before about those who trust in their Constitution and Second Amendment more than they trust in The Word and The Spirit of God.

Seek Him and He shall be found.
