Shall we fast and pray and approach the throne for God to extend his staff and grant that the plague be stayed before further devastation?
I wanted to share this info. about the dream I had when first filled with Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit told me to write the dream in a book just before the Covid-19 event, but I didn't. Now, I don't know for sure what to do with it but got some clarity just before the last few tornadoes and earthquake down here: In the dream (@ 1980 ?)I was suspended above the globe when I HEARD AND FELT loud booms one after the other and was terrified! With each boom a fire came across the ocean (like they were rockets/bombs). The first explosion originated in China, then Germany or Russia, then Italy, and France and Spain. (I couldn't understand why our "allies" were bombing us. When each one hit its mark a great fire would immediately spread northward like a wild a fire! The first "boom" and fire from Caribbean islands (Cuba?)) then each each coast of South America. The fires quickly spread to Central America and ran through Mexico. At that point I looked up and asked the Lord, "how far"? He pointed just below the DC/ Md. area and said "SOUTH". I remember wondering if we were to move westward or northward. I've been expecting some sort of nuclear event from China, Germany, Spain, Italy, France or Germany all these years. It became all the spots in order of the dream, except the US was hit in the other areas: Confusing though was how the beginning of the Covid crisis in the US appeared in the areas north of Maryland. The crisis curve appeared to have been leveled or "flattened". However, the Lord shook me in the night - Monday night. - encourage/summons the people to continue to intercede like Esther and the Hebrew people at Purim! Even though in the South eastern states the crisis had been comparatively less noticeable, the SE has spiked. Now, there are warnings of a second wave, more devastating than the first. I feel this wave could include a number of things, including the racial wars happening now. Pray for repentance! Pray for intervention! Pray for awakening in our hearts! Realignment with Holy Spirit! Pray for Gods mercy!

The Sons of Issachar knew the times and what Israel should do. Now what should we do?
#1. Guard your heart. Speak life only. By faith, speak what we believe to see God do in your area. Reject anger and bitterness that naturally comes when witnessing the media reports and videos of covid, bankruptcy, suicide, immorality, and rampant racial injustice. We know that the return of our Lord Jesus is very soon. (luke 21) It is easy to focus on all the distractions for the enemy in its plan to destroy God's church, the Name of Jesus, and anyone else who stands in the way of its plans to establish authority worldwide. Don't lose sight of the signs of the times! These all point to the return of our savior! Don't be distracted from the real issue. Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. #2. God said to me that the key is to ask for the continual refilling of Holy Spirit. (Acts 4:23)Keep your joy! Let not your heart be troubled. (luke 21) Have your vessels and lamps filled with oil. (see the lampstand in Zechariah and Revelation as well as the wise virgins in (Matt 25) If a son ask ...how much more shall the lord give the Holy Spirit to them who ask? There are man refillings in the bible. (Luke 11:13, ) Pray without ceasing. Set times of prayer throughout the day. (In the time of great pressure, Daniel prayed 3 times a day.) This is the hour for God's people to shine! (Isaiah 60.) "Arise, shine for thy light is come..." God's remnant realizes that it must be prepared to do the work of the Lord, to stand against the wiles of the enemy to stand as examples of God's glory an compassion, as intercessors. We must be prepared to stand against persecution of all types, and prepared to meet him at the trumpet sound! We must be filled with the Holy Spirit. #3.Concerning the racial violence increase. Mourn for and pray for Minnesota and the family of George Floyd and other recent victims. We are grateful for the exposure that brings attention to this decades long struggle. Know that this is a time when God's mouthpieces can stand up with our God-given authority and pray against the principalities and powers that rule in high places. Pray wisdom and boldness for the believers on the front lines in the governmental, judicial and law enforcement systems. Pray for the comfort, protection and provision for the friends and family of the victims. Pray that the plot of the enemy be derailed and that there be no more unnecessary death. Pray that justice be served. Pray for peaceful protests to be effective and safe. Seek the Lord as to what he would have you to do in the way of service to our communities. #4. Concerning the Nation Opening or closing, the vaccine, future national plans, etc. concerning the eminent return of Christ #5. Pray for your pastors, governmental leaders, etc. Be seeking the lord for wisdom and strength to be found doing the work he has set for you. Pray that you be found worthy to escape the things coming upon the earth. (Luke 21:36) Pray for wisdom to provide food and necessities for you and your family. Seek ways to help others. Learn how to be independent- grow you own produce, maybe even chickens. Be resourceful. Store enough food, water and other necessary items for a few days. Maybe learn to can food. #6. Pray that Souls be Saved! Pray that the saints be unified We can not allow the distractions to take our eyes off the the work of personal evangelism, love and worship. Cannot allow ourselves to be drawn away from our first love. Spend time with God in prayer and fasting, time with the believers, whether in person, on the phone or online. Use social media: conference calls, zoom gatherings for repentance, etc. Fellowship of the believers and corporate prayer is extremely important, especially in times like these. Pray there be calls from leaders in geographic areas, cities, states and nations for prayers of repentance #7. Pray that God's will be done through you. #8. Above all, Love ! It's time to pray for souls to be ushered into gods kingdom before they pass away! Many more deaths are to come daily!
Above all - get to know the Savior!!! Its our time to come in close! Song of Solomon!! (Come away my beloved) Psalm 24. Who is the king of glory??? Almost incredibly, I was in the midst of composing a blog last week and thought it to be deleted. ("Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid") I assumed it was not the "appointed time for it. After abandoning it for a while, I came upon it today. I felt to just take a portion of it and concentrate on JOY for the time being.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice A few years ago, the Lord caused me to understand that his instructions are not "suggestions" or "recommendations". In a time of casual private prayer, and I say casual prayer because I was not praying about something that I thought I was overly concerned about - I sensed Him adamantly reply, "I said keep your joy!" I was shocked at the firmness I sensed from Him. I found myself saying, Yes Lord! Im sorry, Lord! Later as I thought about the situation, I thought, Wow! I didnt know it was that serious." He was referring to a word of knowledge that he had sent to me during a previous time of interceding for someone. I was unaware of any unnecessary concern, only thought it good to ask for intercessors to stand with me on her behalf during the altar time at church. During prayer for the individual, the word came through an intercessor that God was also concerned about me and that I should keep my joy. Two lessons from this. One that only just now occurs to me. 1) When we go to the Father in prayer (especially with elders agreeing) He takes it very seriously! Maybe that's why he says fervent prayer avails much, huh? 2) As He listens to our request, He sees the heart of the requestor. He is concerned for the one who intercedes as well as the one who is being prayed for. He knows any repercussions from the devil you might have to deal with as you standing in the gap for the oppressed. Even when you don't sense any chance of it diminishing, He knows the dangers of your losing your joy! "The Joy the the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10 Psalm 24:7-8 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Psalm 27:13 I had fainted unless I believed to see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living (I will remain confident in this,)
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass , then look up , and lift up your heads ; for your redemption draweth nigh .
Bible Hub: stand up and look because your redemption is drawing near Holman: But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near. Aramaic Bible in Plain English: take heart and lift up your heads, because your salvation draws near GOD'S WORD® Translation "When these things begin to happen, stand with confidence! Look up Rom 8:19 21:28 preparation of early events 21:34 look up and lift up our heads looking for later events he draws nigh who will save you looking with joy and expectation looking up, not dowen, "why seek ye the living among the dead" luke 13:11 bend up, turn up (crippled woman) redemption deliverance from oppression Psalm 121:1-4 1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
John 14:27 Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. This is a command Do Not allow your heart to be troubled. Guard your heart, out of it are the issues of life, Guard your gates, ear gate, eye gate, all senses troubled: beset by problems or conflict afraid: feeling fear or anxiety, worried that something undesirable will occur or be done abide under the shadow of the almighty :permit allow accept in accordance with a rule,decision or recommendation stick to, keep hold to, conform to dwell live in a specified place remember His promises, remember his words concerning what you might expect to experience in this world, as he told Paul what things awaited him he does nothing without revealing it to his prophets and his children are not in the dark. You shall be hated of all meln for my sake... He reminds us that He has overcome the world. Rejoice that He is with Father God and that He is coming again!!! believe the report of the Lord perilous times, BUT GOD!!! you want the bad news or the good news first? :) Mark 1:15 repent ye and believe the gospel
Stand your watch and pray that the message of repentance be clearly and lovingly presented by the Holy Spirit. Let him use you. Matthew 3:2 let your hearts be turned from sin for the kingdom of heaven is near
As we go forward, preaching and living the gospel, we have great peace and joy as we anticipate and even re beginning to see the fulfillment of Joel 2 and Acts 2! Acts 2:17-18. 'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS; EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT … It was brought to my attention yesterday that many of even my closest acquaintances do not know of the prophetic dreams and healings that ushered me into the kingdom years ago. 2 Dreams from 1979,1981. This dream is quite prophetic because it let me know that at the time of the rapture, the news media will report that people are disappearing because they are being abducted by aliens. This dream goes hand in hand with the other warning which came shortly before or after the dream about the explosive fiery attacks from China, Russia, Itlay, Spain and France that exploded in the islands,then Venezuela, Brazil & Chili and burst into flames, roaring through Mexico and heading northward through Southeastn U.S.A. Recently I began to see that the bombs were actually Covid19 and other attacks on the planet. As my now husband and I were planning to be married,though not living godly lives, I experienced this frightening dream. Start of the dream: News channel blaring on the television. Reports of many people disapearing from everywhere. The news media reports that these were abducted by aliens in UFOs. At the time, I was concerned about finding my fiance, Bruce. I was also afraid that if I were abducted the experiece might be painful. I rushed outside to find him and tell him of the news report. I knew we needed to get married before anything happened. As I ran down the street I spotted a mutual close friend of ours going into a bakery shop. I ran into the shoppe only to have the friend leave before speaking to me. Before I could turn to catch him, the man behine d the counter smiled and said to me,"Looks like it'll all be over by tomorrow!" I was terrified. I said, no it can't be over. We're not married yet!" I ran outside to find our friend. Maybe he knew where my fiance was. To my surprise, as I exited the store, I looked up to see our friend getting into a long black limousine. As the door opened I could see that my Bruce was sitting in the back seat! As I hollered his name, the car pulled off and left me standing there on the sidewalk! Devastated, I looked up in the sky. For some reason a tiny speck high in the clouds got my attention. As I stood there mesmorized, the speck gradually got larger and closer to me. Son I could see that it was in the shape of a man. Then even closer, it was definitely a man. Then I realized it's Jesus! I was so excited that I began to waive my hands and shout and jump up in the air, Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Until...I realized that I was not acceptable to Him. Joy turned to dread. My shout changed to "Jesus, don't leave me! Don't leave me!" And I awoke. As I had planned to write a book about all this, I pray that this acount will come at the right time for someone. These dreams were speaking to me of things that we are experiencing now. We should believe without actually having to see evidence of these things, but our Lord does sretch to make things plain sometimes. Our proof of life is in the word. Matthew 25 When all these things begin to come to pass, look up, your redemption draweth nigh."
Joel 2:12-13 King James Version (KJV)
12 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the Lord your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. As we have entered into a crucial time in this "pandemic", It is high time to seriously seek the Lord and repent for our sins against him. As it appears that the virus is defeated, and as businesses, parks and beaches open, there are many theories and many attempts to stop the virus. Where we dare not ask God to stop the plague, we must enter a time of personal and corporate repentance and unity. It is evident that certain regions that stand in prayer and consecration before God are less affected by the plague. STAND FOR YOUR REGION, STAND FOR YOUR FAMILY, STAND FOR YOURSELF 2 Chronicles 7:14 must be our guide. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Jeremiah 9:23,24 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'
We want God to have his way. Habakkuk makes plain His goal. Habakkuk 12:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. We know that we are living in the last of the last days. Aside from the worldwide viral pandemic, we see the signs of the last days as prophecied in God's Word accelerating. (Matthew 24:3 , 2 Timothy 3:1, Luke 21) John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Habakkuk 2:1 "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see
what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved" And reprove me, He did!! His answer in part - Isaiah 46:10 I will be exalted in the earth I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.' John 17 I pray not for the world... but that they may be one Last week I felt compelled to pray that God stay the plague I no longer feel that it is anyone's duty or position to ask such a stay! Where I thought I had a duty and permission to ask Him, I now think I had been presumptuous. I have asked forgiveness for this. Habakkuk had been shown by the Lord in a vision what devastation was coming upon His people because of sin in the land. He did not ask God to change his mind, but humbled himself before the Lord and vowed that he would praise him still. "Yet will I praise Him." I say, Great are you Lord! Even at the beginning of the covid scare I stood on Isaiah 26:20,21 "Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. 21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. And then we had shelter-in-place rulings. Afterwards I began to see that the dream was telling me that the wild-fire spread of devastations. whether Covid, violence, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires etc.) would be coming to the southeast and spreading from there before this particular threat is over." I had wondered why the Lord chose not to reveal to me the true meaning of the dream, or why I had not understood what I was seeing until near the last phase. I now understand how God has always chosen to work in the earth. and I understand that He had no intention of changing His plans! I could have understood the dream and been impelled to warn and pray more intently rather than seek a way out of this. I do continue (as I have over the last few years) to ask for the spirit of revival to come! May God reawaken our hearts and realign us with the Holy Spirit! In our virtual gatherings and if we are given opportunity later, we can do the work of the kingdom in power and anointing of the Holy Ghost. It will be our job to do as Jesus Our Lord did when he walked this earth. It is time to Preach the word. To proclaim as He did, "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand." He taught the Word of God, healed the sick, cast out devils and gave God glory! As the father has sent him,He sends us. His commission for us, Matthew 10:8-10 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. I RETURN TO HIS PROCLAMATIONS, LOOK UP YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH! and REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! His prayer to the Father, that they may be one. John 17 Our duty now is to proclaim that God is Sovereign. His intent is that His glory be seen in the earth, ( For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea Habakkuk 2:14) Shall we fast and pray and approach the throne for God to extend his staff and grant that the plague be stayed before further devastation in our cities? Pray for awakening in our hearts! Realignment with Holy Spirit! I wanted to share this info. about the dream I had when first filled with Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit told me to write the dream in a book just before the covid 19 event, but I didn't. Now, I don't know for sure what to do with it but got some clarity just before the last few tornados and earthquake down here in Mississippi and South Carolina. ----------------- -------------------- -------------------------- In the dream (@ 1980 ?)I was suspended above the globe when I HEARD AND FELT loud booms one after the other and was terrified! With each boom a fire came across the ocean (like they were rockets/bombs). The first explosion originated in China, then Germany or Russia, then Italy, and France and Spain. (I couldn't understand why our "allies" were bombing us. When each one hit its mark a great fire would immediately spread northward like a wild a fire! The first "boom" and fire from Carribean islands (Cuba?)) then the east coast, then the west coast each of South America. The fires quickly spread to Central America and ran through Mexico. At that point I looked up and asked the Lord, "how far"? He pointed just below the DC/ Md. area and said "SOUTH". I remember wondering if we were to move westward or northward. All these years I've been expecting some sort of nuclear event from China, Spain, Italy, France or Germany. Near the beginning of US acknowledgement and shelter in place, however, it became evident to me that these were the same areas hit in order of the dream, except, rather than south, the US was hit hardest in the areas NORTH of Maryland. Confusing though was how the beginning of the Covid crisis in the US appeared The crisis curve appears to have been levelled or "flattened". However, the Lord shook me in the night - last Monday night. - encourage/summons the people to continue to intercede like Esther and the Hebrew people at Purim! Could it be that the southeast was spared due to the prayers of the saints there? Only God knows. Even though in the South eastern states the crisis has been (comparatively) less noticeable, if we do not continue to watch and pray the SE will become the next "hot spot", fueling more negative reaction through fear and politics. Pray for Gods mercy! pray for intervention. Pray for awakening in our hearts! Realignment with Holy Spirit! We must humble ourselves and pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. I felt compelled by Holy Spirit to take this step! I felt I had permission to approach the throne. I actually felt I'd be held accountable if I didn't take this stand. Pray for me. I believe that the Lord is working in His people through all of this. The Lord Bless You and Keep You! Be full of Joy! We have all been praying for Revival and we have seen that times of devastation precedes revival. James 4:4, KJV: "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
Romans 12:1 be transformed by the renewing of our mind to be a friend of God, it is necessary to renew your mind with the Word of God and the presence of God "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
(MAKE SACRIFICES TO HAVE A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION DAILY! Matthew11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. walk with God, co-laborer with Him, be yoked together with Him, walk at the same pace! don't go in circles the objective is to arrive at the destination at the time agree with the report of the Lord. (INTENTIONALLY LISTEN AND OBEY) Exodus 33:11-13 Moses was called "a friend of God"
God talked to Moses face to face because he was found righteous/obedient. (TAKE TIME TO TALK TO GOD DAILY!) Exodus 33:21 Context. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. Moses found grace in God! He was more concerned about God and his people than he was about his own welfare. (YOU WILL CONCERN YOURSELF WITH WHAT PLEASES OR DISPLEASES GOD) We gain confidence through spending time with Him.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (YOU HAVE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND PRAY) 1John 5:14,15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. (CONFIDENCE IN OUR FAITHFUL FATHER GOD!!) Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things whatsoever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (BELIEVE WHEN YOU PRAY!) Luke 18 "Men aught always to pray and not to faint"
(Do Not be Distracted easily, stay strong, gain spiritual discernment, hit the mark) don't faint in the day of adversity 1 Thes.. 5:17 pray without ceasing (Prayer is a continual conversation with God.) Daniel 11:32 "They that do know their God shall do great exploits." (We accomplish great things when we are consistent in prayer) Acts 8:19, 22 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for they light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and Hi glory shall be seen upon thee. |
