I received a serious word from God in the early hours on super bowl Sunday: In that word the Lord spoke to me some very serious things. He told me to be on watch mode (24 hour call, if the need presented). I knew that when I am asked to be in that mode, that it is possible that something serious could be approaching. The Lord told me that this was a week to be diligent in all things---free up time so that prayer, watch, and study could be the order of the day.
The Lord said that as a result of financial pressures, failing relationships, and other serious matters, many have abandoned their post in the work of the Lord. Disappointment, compromise, and struggle have discouraged many and have dulled the ears of His servants. He talked about the importance of not allowing these things to kill our spirit or negatively affect our hearts, because these things can cloud our discernment; and the things that we begin to focus the most on and get carried away with can become a deceptive force and can become the things that try to speak to us the most ----almost to the point that it will try to sound like God. (Meditate on 2 Thessalonians ). If we are not careful, we will allow the things I mentioned previously to keep us from receiving the love of God’s truth - that they might be saved - and as a result believe a lie. Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.” John 10:27
He shared that some great men and women of God have died prematurely, and how it is so important to have the proper prayer support to under gird these individuals, so that at heighten times of satanic activity---these supports can stand unified against the forces of the enemy. If there was ever a time when the Lord is asking His people to grow and wax strong in their spiritual lives, it is now!!! He said that there is a rising up of a people who by their very walk will cross the paths of many and have a dynamic spiritual impact upon those who are in key places and positions. Unfortunately, many have come in contact with key people but they have remained unchanged. Where are the Daniels, the Josephs, the Elijahs of our day?? Where are the prophets of our day who are crying out against sin?? We need more of our leadership to gather together: not to preach, not to prophesy, but to pray. The Lord said that the watchmen of our day are working overtime. But Jesus, who is the Lord of the watch---sees all things and is assessing all things. There are those who are also faithful to His call and have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Prayer Keys:
· The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much----God broke down to me this revelation---simple but true---the right people praying fervently around the right things at the right time get real results. Plus, it prepares and shifts the atmosphere and has an impact on those who are praying in the Holy Ghost. Suddenly, they are pushed into praying into greater realms and receive insight as they press in with fervency. While they are praying in the Holy Spirit — they begin to see the mind and the eyes of the Lord and receive a greater understanding of His heart on the issue. So the right kind of prayers, the right people, at the right time can shift the direction and flow of the prayers of others who are praying for the same issues. And all those fervent prayers can become a mighty force to be reckoned with - when the Lord gives us inside information concerning the issues that we are praying for, and the utterances are sent out like waves that go directly to the root of the situation.
· The Lord said that the biggest deception that the enemy is trying to sell to people is that their prayers don’t change situations. But, prayers move mountains, obstacles, and strongholds, and can cause great deliverances. So pray, push, and watch God move upon situations and circumstances as they line up with the will of God in the earth.
· We should know our watch times and build our prayer life around them. (For those who wake up every night or every day at the same time---it is a strong indication of a possible prayer time. We should add to that other times in the day that we find ourselves in good prayer flow.)
· Begin to pray around hindrances, delays, and blocked blessings-----it is one of the strategies that the enemy is using against the people of God. The purpose is to wear them out and get them to give up and lose hope.
· Delay is an enemy within itself----but also know that procrastination is a sent spirit to slow down one’s progress and keep diligence and discipline from being set in order. Press pass procrastination; it can be a set up against us to miss out on certain windows of opportunity and open accesses through some key areas.
· As my people pray, says the Lord . . . . . . they will experience a stronger sense of awareness---so many things will open up before them.
We need to pray around these key issues:
· The Lord said that Britain is about to get ready to deal with some serious threats, because the enemy will try to send a diversion in one area - in order to strike in another area.
· I saw in a vision of maps with red shaded areas----the Lord told me they were hot spots (areas that are being targeted for future attacks)---The Lord said to pray around those who are operating in sleeper cells that are working among others in these hot spots and they are going unnoticed----pray for heighten levels of awareness concerning my people—pray they will know the enemy as he approaches---pray for those who will hear or see something suspicious and report it, so that the plots and plans of the enemy will be averted.
· There is a spiritual significance concerning the snow storms in 49 states within days of each other. This is significant and is a strong indication of some impeding trouble—it is also significant about hitting Washington, D.C. as one of the first places ----also about hitting Dallas so quickly afterward.
The Lord says: This is a time to enter into my watch for your own preservation as well the preservation of others: a time of repositioning that can only come through prayer and waiting in the presence of the Lord; a time to be changed from who you were to who you are to be. This is a time to walk a new walk, a walk that has been adjusted to who’s you really are and not who you think you need to be. Receive the truth as an inheritor of my covenant. For I love you with an everlasting love. This is for those who are committed to the cause of the watch.
The Lord is calling His watchmen to prepare their place of watch that they may be given chief assignments; they are strategic and time is of the essence. I am placing others before significant people in order to impact their lives to consecration, transformation, and repentance. I am sending out Ananias to come to the aid of those who are coming through their own personal Damascus road experiences. Cry out for your nation, your people, and the land. Cry out and repent on behalf of our leadership both spiritually and naturally.
“Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36
