The Lord warned in Matthew 24:12 about the time of the end of the age that we are now in: “Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.” Lawlessness begins when we start to push our own concepts of law and justice above God’s, as He has clearly laid them out in His Word.
Another example of how this spirit of lawlessness begins its encroachment upon a nation is how laws are disregarded or changed by those who do not have the authority to do so. An example of this in the U.S. is how district court judges, who have been given authority in specific districts, try to extend their authority over the entire country by countering or making changes to executive orders by the president or mandates from Congress. This is also a violation of Article I, the “separation of powers” clause in the Constitution, which is “the supreme law of the land.”
Such denial of clearly established rules is an attempt to seize control where one has no authority. This can be compared to the way a 5-year-old may try to control their whole family with tantrums or other outrageous behavior. If such behavior is not reigned in, this behavior can grow increasingly extreme and dangerous. Such children will grow up convinced they don’t need to obey rules, but can make their own. Isn’t that what the devil did, thereby causing the first rebellion and causing a third of the angels to fall? He sought to seize authority he had not been given, which is the root of every rebellion since. READ MORE
When Jesus Sees
From an early age, we’re taught to look away from those who are different. “Don’t stare,” we’re told. “It’s rude!” Often people with disabilities make us uncomfortable, so we learn to pretend we don’t notice that someone has a deformity or scars or walks with a limp or moves around in a chair. Unfortunately, we sometimes take it one step further and pretend we don’t see the person at all.
The woman in the synagogue had spent 18 years being overlooked. She was bent over like a question mark, staring at the ground and her own two feet. She couldn’t see the faces behind the words, but she knew the tones, the jokes and the whispers. She could hear people hurrying past and skirting around her. And while plenty of people looked at her, many probably looked the other way. Only one truly saw her.
When Jesus saw her, he didn’t turn away. He didn’t pretend not to see her. Instead, he spoke to her and touched her. She was set free from her infirmity. Her 18 years of living with a crooked body dropped away, and she stood straight and tall, seeing Jesus face-to-face.
In that compassionate interaction, Jesus had an encounter with someone the world tends to overlook. He showed us that, first of all, we need to see others—to look at them and acknowledge their presence as God’s creation, precious in his sight. When we look into their eyes, we’ll see a human being and not a deformity, disability or limitation.
Second, we need to speak to that person as we would anyone. Conversing normally shows that we’re not intimidated by the person’s disability. Even if we’re just talking about the weather, we are expressing our interest in the other person’s words and opinions.
Third, we need to be willing to touch them if it’s appropriate. Human touch is a mysterious, powerful tool that communicates worth and significance through something as simple as a handshake, a touch on the shoulder or a hug.
Everyone needs to know that they are valued. When we begin to see others as Jesus does—as human beings with value and significance—we might become the window through which they can see Jesus for themselves.
Reflection
How do you tend to respond to people with disabilities?
What does Jesus’ example with the woman teach you about relating to others with or without physical disabilities?
You Will Prosper Through the Prophetic Word of the Lord - Andrew Towe, Chattanooga, TN - Aug 18, 2025
A Supernatural Anointing on Your Mouth
The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and said, "Be careful what you speak. Your words hold immense power. Refuse to partner with the enemy by speaking your current circumstances; you must speak by faith the words that I have decreed. Though it may seem like nothing is changing, I am moving behind the scenes and have ordained a divine shift.
"Do not sabotage your prophetic promises by coming into agreement with your adversary and speaking words that contradict My purpose. Your tongue gives life or death to your destiny. There is a supernatural anointing coming on your mouth to shift the atmosphere of your life."
Guard Your Tongue
While I was in prayer about August and the approaching fall months, I felt a strong conviction from the Lord regarding my speech. I've always been mindful of my words, knowing the significance of the prophetic anointing on my life, but I sensed a heightened call to be more diligent in guarding my tongue.
It's all too easy to let thoughts escape our lips without careful consideration, but in this season we must choose our words with intention. Remember, our words have the power to change everything! READ MORE
Why Did GOD Say 'I AM THAT I AM'? The Origin Of Eternity
God of the Storm & Operation Takedown Mockingbird - Andrew Whalen, Peoria, Illinois - Aug 17, 2025
[Editor's note: Below are the dreams and words that Andrew Whalen shared during his recent interview on ElijahStreams. We encourage our readers to consider them prayerfully and watch Andrew's interview here for full context.]
The God of the Storm Dream
From Andrew Whalen's book, Dreams to Save a Nation: Day 13.
(Dream received on September 1, 2022.)
In my dream, I found myself riding in a vehicle with "President" Biden and other high-level players on the governmental scene. I overheard them talking about their alignment with deep-state agendas and plans (I was aware that their goal was to destroy America), and I rose up in a fury. With a prophetic intensity, I declared to them, "Have you not heard of the God of the storm?" I continued, "What He will unleash from Heaven against you will not be stopped." At this point in the dream, I recognized that Biden and the other leaders realized I could be trusted, and they took off their faces (masks).
I was shocked, and I realized that these governmental leaders were actually pro-American and God-fearing people operating an intentionally misdirecting show of political theater. One of the political leaders who took his "face" off was actually Charles Bronson underneath the mask.
I heard the Spirit say, "I am giving the enemy his death wish." READ MORE
What Do John MacArthur & Ozzy Osbourne Have in Common? - Christa Elisha, Oxford, Ohio - Aug 14, 2025

Partnered to Pray
I woke up the morning of July 24, 2025 burdened in the spirit to pray. I was feeling such grief in my soul that I couldn't attribute to my own circumstances, so I inquired of the Lord as to how He was feeling that day. I have learned through the years that when we surrender our entire souls to the Lord, He will often trust us with His emotions. When we recognize this, we can partner more effectively with Holy Spirit to release the will of God in the earth with the same heart that Jesus has as He intercedes for us in Heaven.
It was then that I had a vision of John MacArthur and Ozzy Osbourne. Both men were standing on either side of Jesus, bitterly weeping over the lost legacies God had hoped for them to leave and over the witchcraft they had released across generations.
As we study the seven churches Jesus addressed in Revelation, we need to see how they apply to their time, our time, our churches, and to us personally. As we see our connections with the church in history, we will see how closely the history of our own local church can mirror the churches in Revelation, for good or bad. As we will see in the Lord’s message to the first church He addresses in Ephesus, it is when we lose our first love for Him that we get diverted from following Him. The same is true in our congregations and in our own lives.
Getting the message of what went wrong in the other churches is important, but they may not be relevant to us if we keep our first love for the Lord and stay on track following Him.
A major factor that helps us get back if we have deviated from loving and following Him is seeing the city He is building to dwell among us. There has never been a project in the world that is as important or as great as this one. Seeing it will give us the resolve to, like the patriarchs, leave even the greatest things men are building to be a part of what He is building. READ MORE

The Oil of Joy - Strength for the Season - Tim Sheets and Dutch Sheets - Aug 8, 2025
Intro from Dutch Sheets: Holy Spirit has given my brother Tim a very encouraging word regarding restoration and renewal coming to the Body of Christ. As always, it is powerful, and I believe it will minister to you greatly. Tim's title is "The Oil of Joy: Strength for the Season."
"The Oil of Joy: Strength for the Season" By Tim Sheets
I believe this is a season in which the Lord desires to bring deep healing and renewal to our souls, positioning us to reign victoriously with Christ in the fullness of His promises. Just as the Lord, our Shepherd, restored David's soul in Psalm 23, He desires to do the same for us.
I recently heard the Lord say, "This is a season in which I will give beauty for ashes in amplified ways. My transforming anointing will destroy yokes of oppression, hopelessness, and resulting bondages. It will be poured out in great measure. 'Soul strikes' will be healed, bringing full recovery to My people. I will give the oil of joy for mourning and garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness." READ MORE
The Book of Revelation, Part 41 - By Rick Joyner
In these times when lying and deceiving to gain political advantage are so prevalent, we must become even more devoted to the truth. As we’re told in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, God will destroy “… the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved (emphasis mine).”
People seek truth for many reasons, but there is only one reason the followers of Christ are to use: because we love the truth. It is not enough to know the truth, but we must have a “love of the truth.” People will compromise the truth if they are seeking it for anything less than love of the truth. We will not compromise something we love, and we’ll have the courage to stand for it regardless of the pressure or opposition. READ MORE
How Money Interests Influence the Newsroom | Sharyl Attkisson
They will make the greatest bid for world domination in history. It is no longer just armies that threaten freedom—it is corporations and corrupt politicians. I believe that evil in all of its vile colors is even now rising to try to crush our freedom and our churches.
In other words, they wield astonishing power. These villains possess mountains of money, unlimited connections, and enormous influence. Will they destroy nations and borders? Will they drive the Church underground? Is it possible that they can indeed plow under the entire moral foundation of America, and even the world?
Not only that, Barack Obama, George Soros, and Bill Gates have plans—plans that could easily envelope the world. They are feverishly putting the finishing touches on strategies to redefine the human race. READ MORE
Jul 29 - Week 30 - The Book of Revelation, Part 40 - Rick Joyner
We can be humble and contrite as the ones the Lord is seeking to build His house with, but this will not guarantee that we will not fall into the same traps as others have. Being humble and contrite is a good foundation for the other qualities we need, but there is more needed. Our trust cannot be in our humility but in God, whom alone we must follow.
We follow Him by knowing His voice and only responding to His voice (see John 10) and by staying filled with His Spirit, who has been sent to lead us into all truth. All truth is in theTruth, Jesus. To be His dwelling place, we must grow up into Him.
So, humility is required to stay on course. True humility is first the understanding that without Him, we can do nothing. With this knowledge, we will be far less prone to try anything without Him. Let us always keep in mind that, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (see James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5). There is no treasure on earth as valuable as God’s grace, and one definition of humility would be to keep that foremost in our minds and hearts. Arrogance and presumption are deadly enemies. These caused the first fall and almost every one since. Humility is not the path of life, but it is how we stay on it. READ MORE
Cease Striving and Know That I Am God - Francis Frangipane, Cedar Rapids, IA - Jul 26, 2025
The Soul Is Porous
Among the numerous intricate and beautiful aspects of the human soul, there's one quality that serves all others: the soul is porous. This indicates that besides our hidden strengths and abilities, the soul is also influenced and molded by what's around us. We adopt customs, language, habits, virtues, and vices mainly by absorbing the reality that envelops us. Truly, the essence of life as we perceive it is formed by the inward reception of these external realities.
Thus, the soul, while it is born with innate powers, is also the product of its times and circumstances. Because we live in unprecedented, prophetic times, individuals born during the last five or six decades are impacted not only by the common struggles and joys of life, but also by the unspeakable disasters as they occur around the world.
