The Spirit Is Blowing a Fresh Wind on the Gift of Prophecy- Wanda Alger, Winchester, VA - Dec 21, 2024

 

Do Not Quench the Spirit of Prophecy

I had a powerful dream about prophecy. And for those who follow prophetic ministry, and prophetic ministers, you will understand why it is probably no coincidence that this dream comes now. The Lord is inserting a strong admonition into this conversation. We must not allow either the failures of others or the fear of man to quench the Spirit of prophecy and rob us of the much-needed and life-changing words of the Lord.

In the dream, my husband (a pastor) and I were in a church service, and I was watching a visiting minister pray for a man who had come forward. People were prayerfully watching to see how this man would receive ministry. The prayers being offered were heart-felt and sincere, though there was no visible evidence of them impacting the man being ministered to.

After the minister was done praying, the man who came forward looked at the minister and cried out, "But, what do YOU SEE?" It was a desperate plea from his heart for the minister to dig deeper and speak from the depths of the Spirit.  continue >>>

December 18, 2024 How Can You Leave 2024...and Make 2025 Better? - Karen Hardin

 How do you want to leave 2024—and enter 2025? What will you leave behind and what will you take with you? How we enter/leave a job, position and even a year is important. We have an opportunity as we enter 2025 both corporately (as a nation) and individually, but it requires an action on our part. Are you ready to break off the yoke that has been on you? Yokes aren’t always a bad thing. A young ox is yoked to a more mature and experienced ox to train them how to pull together and walk. Also, we are yoked to Christ when we receive him as our Lord. Matthew 11:28-30 says, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (NIV 1995). But what about yokes that have been placed on us by others or because of events? Many are carrying yokes of oppression, depression, disappointment, lack, rage, etc. from what has been done to you or happened to you. The longer it has been there, the more it has seemed like it would always be there. But it doesn’t have to be. To be free requires an action on our part.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO MAKE NICE WITH DEMOCRATS

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO MAKE NICE WITH DEMOCRATS

Did you hear about the woman in Seattle who bit, stabbed and then hacked her father to death with an ice ax because Trump won? Here’s what the New York Post reported:

“A space rocket program manager butchered her father with an ice ax on election night after a breakdown following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory — and was found smiling and clapping, covered in her loved one’s blood, cops said.

“Corey Burke considered the bloody rampage — in which she allegedly strangled, bit and hacked her 67-year-old father in the $800,000 Seattle home they shared — an “act of liberation,” charging documents allege.

Well, did you hear about this? Probably not. We both know that if it had been a Trump supporter, it would have been plastered on all the news shows.

“Burke, 33, is a training program manager at Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ spacecraft company, according to her LinkedIn, and is married to prominent transgender writer Samantha Leigh Allen, public records show.

“Burke sat down next to her father and watched him die, then smashed all the windows in the house in what she described as “an act of liberation,” officers reported.

“When cops arrived, they found Burke “clapping … because she was so happy.”

Well, did you hear about this? Probably not. We both know that if it had been a Trump supporter, it would have been plastered on all the news shows.

Another reason for the news blackout is that she is married to a famous transgender writer.

Did Biden, Harris, and Walz feed the violence?  You decide. Every chance they got, they said “Trump is Hitler”, and repeatedly screamed that Trump would destroy democracy.

Even some of their own warned them to stop inciting violence. They did not care. And the silence over this grisly murder proves they still do not care. But it gets worse.   continue >>>

Hope for the Hopeless - Karen Hardin

Hopelessness is like a slow death. Without something to put hope in and to look forward to, where does the world turn? Without God, the world turns to things that will distract them from the intense pain in their souls. For some it is alcohol or drugs. For others it involves cutting oneself or some other self harm practice. While others fill their emptiness through emotional or physical relationships with someone they hope will love or affirm them. These people are in every nation on earth. They are all around us. 

We know that God is the only one who can fill all those dying from hopelessness. Our team members in China and Cambodia are working hard to do just that. Your prayers and support make it possible for these teams to do their work. Thank you. 

THE REFINER’S FIRE IS EXPOSING SINS OF THE HEART, MAKING WAY FOR HIS GLORY  - Wanda Alger

So, I will show My greatness and My holiness and make Myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

The exposures of sexual sin and moral compromise in the camp are but a symptom of a much larger problem. Deviant behaviors and ungodly practices are but the overflow of the heart and mind. In bringing these fruitless deeds to the light, the very thing the Lord is uncovering is a lack of holiness and purity within His House. continue >>>

Q and Praying Medic Dream

(Excerpt from Andrew Whalen's book, Dreams to Save a Nation, DAY 11: Q and Praying Medic Dream.)

March 18, 2018:

In the dream, I found myself prophesying out loud, "If the Church would listen to a man named Praying Medic speak about something called Q, then the Church would really understand what is going on and know how to pray."

 The Book of Revelation, Part 10 - Rick Joyner

In the book of Revelation, there is a prophetic outline of God’s plan to restore the world to the paradise it was originally created to be. We also see God taking leadership over the earth and mankind being restored to a special place of fellowship with Him. So, as we seek understanding of the Revelation, we must keep in mind how the end of this age will unfold and prepare for God Himself to come to the earth and dwell among men. We are preparing a home for Him.

 As we unite with Him in this great purpose, we begin to see how He is working through our experience in this life to prepare for “the period of the restoration of all things” (see Acts 3:21). A primary purpose for the church age is to call and prepare those who will reign with Jesus over the earth during this period.

Rosangela Atte: A December to Remember! - Maple Ridge, BC, Canada - Dec 9, 2024

Recently one morning, the Lord reminded me of this word He gave me two years ago, and instructed me to reshare some excerpts of it.

He said, "Rosangela, I haven't forgotten about the promises I have made to My people. Tell them that I Am about to remember them! Tell them again, that this will be a December to remember!"

"But Zion said, 'The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.'

'Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.'" (Isaiah 49:14–16 NKJV)

A Christmas Miracle That Overcame Hate - Karen Hardin

Messages from political leaders or media hosts have repeatedly stoked fear that freedoms will be lost and our democracy destroyed with this past election. These messages are intent on creating fear, hate and division.

Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Christmas opens the door for a miracle of love to be released.

THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE
Forgiveness, hope and love can emerge in the most unexpected places and ways because of shared values—such as Christmas.

In a story almost forgotten in history, late on Christmas Eve 1914 during World War I, British soldiers in their trenches heard German soldiers, hunkered down in their trenches, singing Christmas carols. They reported that a few small Christmas trees with candles could be seen standing along the line of the trench. Even on Christmas eve, the German soldiers sitting in the dark, cold and wet trenches, mustered the Christmas spirit to sing. The trenches were close enough that the British soldiers heard it. 

Word for the Week - The Book of Revelation, Part 9 - Rick Joyner

We have been talking about the Lord restoring mankind and the earth. In Reelation, mankind falls to its deepest depravity before the Lord comes to rule and restore. He said it would be like “the days of Noah,” which saw the worst corruption and evil the world would experience until the end of this age. In His parable about the wheat and the tares, Jesus said, “the end of the age is the harvest” (see Matthew 13:39).

      In this parable, Jesus was speaking of how the wheat and tares would grow up together. The harvest is when all the seeds that have been sown will come to full maturity, so both the good and evil sown into man will come to full maturity at the end of this age. Then, we will experience evil in its fullness—the full maturity of the sin of man personified in “the man of sin”—and the full maturity of the nature of Christ will be manifested in His people. This is predicted in Isaiah 60:1-3: “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”

      Most of the books I’ve read and messages I’ve heard preached on the book of Revelation focus on the evil, the antichrist, and the tribulation. By far the most exciting and wonderful thing about the end of the age is what is being done to prepare the way for His kingdom and how the glory of the Lord is going to be manifested in His people. The light and glory of the Lord are going to overpower the deepest darkness, the worst evil. As we see in the prophecy above, the light wins, and the nations will come to the light.  continue >>>

The Wilderness Is for Words - Sara Whitten,  Kerrville, TX - Nov 24, 2024

What Is a Wilderness Season?

What is a wilderness season? When we think of "wilderness" what comes to mind is an area that is unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and uncertain. There are no maps, trails, or human conveniences built in. A wilderness is any land that has not been modified or cultivated. It hasn't yet been settled or borne fruit.

In the spirit, this translates to a season in which we are in unfamiliar territory. The path ahead is uncharted, and we are without the comforts we typically lean on. It can be a rugged place where we feel unprepared, or unequipped. It can also tend to feel punishing, though we find in Scripture that the wilderness is actually not a bad thing.

Strategic Warfare - Karen Hardin - November 20, 2024

Lawlessness, Division, Rage, Insanity

These spirits are operational in much of our society today. Worse they can be found in some who serve in positions in our government, schools, and even some churches.

And in families.

As we approach Thanksgiving, we know for many there are perhaps challenging family relationships. Whether immediate or extended family, when there is division it can make the upcoming holiday feel like you are walking on egg shells.

So what can we do?

Remember you have the Word of God to declare over your family. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

Capturing a Hummingbird & Manufacturing Revival - Nate Johnston, Colorado Springs, CO - Nov 19, 2024

A Competition by the River in Three Days

Recently, I had a peculiar yet powerful dream. It was one of those dreams where I immediately knew God was speaking. If God could put a dream in bold caps lock, this would be it. The urgency and clarity of the dream made it impossible to ignore. I knew that every detail mattered.

In the dream, I walked into a conference setting. The location wasn't grand or large, but it had a massive river flowing beside it. As I entered through the front door, I was immediately confronted by a person. This person began to criticize me, telling me I didn't know what I was talking about, listing their ministry statistics and achievements. They boasted about how God had chosen them for a mighty move of His Spirit, but not me.

Right away, I discerned that this person was operating out of an orphan spirit, striving to manufacture something that wasn't from God. Their charisma, their appearance, and even the way they spoke was familiar—a formula the Church has used for far too long. I stood quietly as they slandered me.  continue >>>

An Explosive and Powerful Word from the Lord--November 14, 2024 - November 15th, 2024 - by Amanda Grace

ALL praise glory and honor be to the Lord of Hosts, maker of heaven and earth. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. He is holy, wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, prince of peace. And the government shall REST upon His shoulders.

And the Spirit of the Lord says this day.

Isaiah 61:1-8
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] [a]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. 4 And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. 5 Aliens shall stand [ready] and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; people will speak of you as the ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of your captors] shall be yours. 7 Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs. 8 For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong with violence or a burnt offering. And I will faithfully give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with them.  continue reading >>>

Let the Real Fathers and Mothers Stand Up! -  Danielle Dixon, Queensland, Australia - Nov 16, 2024

This word has been building up over the last few weeks. I heard a cry from sons and daughters in the land; it sounded like a distressed newborn baby crying.

The Lord said, "I am raising the true fathers and mothers in the earth to bring peace to this generation and provoke them to maturity."

The Church is coming of age. God has been maturing us in many different areas. We are being prepared for the coming years. For those who have yielded to this process, there will be an opportunity to help others grow and mature in areas where they have been stunted. This type of maturity allows people to operate in the fullness of the parental anointing.

Those Who Will Destroy the Orphan Yoke   continue >>>

This is just a reminder that what happened this week is not about politics. It’s about defeating spiritual wickedness in high places over this nation. To post about the outcome is not necessarily a commentary on any individual or party, but on overcoming the demonic agendas at work in every sphere of our culture.

That being said…if we truly believe we are in a spiritual war, we may have just won a major battle, but the war is not over. Yes, our victory has already been secured through Christ in the heavenlies, but on the ground, we still have work to do. The spiritual adversary that seeks to finish his plans for our destruction, is not going away easily…

"...and he departed...until an opportune time."
