In Your Presence

The following prophecy was given through Pastor Lynne Hammond on March 9, 1995 at Living Word Christian Center:

Now, you must let the wind of God blow. You must turn your face into the wind where the breath of God is sweeter and

where His brightest glory shines. Let us sing that now. Just open your heart to God and really mean that when you sing it. (Spirit of the Living God)

It’s Your presence Lord. It has always been Father, Your presence that we have sought and yearned for in our spirits, because, Lord, You have created us that way. When we were born again, the very breath of God that recreated us in Christ Jesus, when that breath was breathed upon us, there was a presence that came with that breath and because of that presence You made us to still yearn for it and so our spirit man, it does, it does cry out to God for it. Jesus, Jesus. Spirit of the Living God fall afresh and renew us. Revive us oh Lord. Revive us through Your plan and Your will Lord. (Tongues) Oh, Lord. Fill us Lord and then use us Father, because that was always Your great plan Father God. That was it right there. That we would be melted in Your presence and we would be molded by Your touch and by Your hand. That we would be so filled with You Lord. And that we would move out in Your great plan. That was it, Lord, all along. Thank you Lord Jesus. (Tongues)

“For have I not spoken unto you plainly, year after year, as My own children? Jesus. That the very inheritance of Mine, My very inheritance is in you and it is nothing less than the Spirit of Christ. God, (tongues) oh, the Spirit of Christ coming to live in His fullness. Coming to live in His completeness, so that He would be manifest to the world. Jesus. The Father’s inheritance shining through You because You have become single-minded to His glory and because You were void of offense.”

“Did I not tell you, has it not been written, and you have heard with your ears and know in your heart that you are written epistles to be read by men that even when they didn’t know and the wondering ones that never heard the Word preached or never seen it on written paper before? But they would see you and He would read Me and they would see the Living Christ loosed. And they made free.”

“And did you not know, and did you not read and did you not see when I spoke to Ephesus who stood on the highest pinnacle of knowledge of their day? And I gave them prayers to pray. And those prayers at that hour that they were prayed were registered in Heaven. And those prayers spoke of the hope of your calling and of My inheritance in you. Did you not know who,” saith the Lord, “that as much as you have inherited the cross, as much as you have inherited redemption in all of its works, as much as you have inherited healing and salvation and prosperity, did you not know that now you have inherited places to walk in? Access to My courts?” Jesus. Oh, Lord. And all that I have belongs to you.

“So whatever shackle or whatever prison would try and hold you and bind you. Whatever tomb of life would try to hold you like it tried to hold Lazarus in a death realm. It could be shaken off right now if you look unto Me. Because you are a part of a very great move and soon you will realize that you are in such cooperation with Me. Soon you are going to realize that this is a plan much bigger than thee and this,” saith the Lord, “is not an organization but this is a living, moving organism of God and it has come in the person of Jesus.” Hallelujah.

“For you know, I don’t have any hands, except your hands. I don’t have a voice except your voice. Jesus. And I don’t have feet except your feet, that is why I said how beautiful they were for you are My body in action. Hallelujah Jesus. I can hear a ringing in glory now. I hear a ringing of Heaven today and there the Spirit of the Lord would say the cross came out of mocking and jeering and sneering and a sip of vinegar and thorns upon a brow, but Pentecost came with a very great cry and I hear the cry and the cry was, it is finished, it is finished, it is finished rings in all of Heaven. It is finished and so now that it is finished, rise in the resurrection power, rise in the mark of the Holy Ghost, rise in the catch of My power and go forth to an inhabited world.” Thank you Father. Glory. Hallelujah. Thank you Father.

A scripture is coming to me. Hallelujah. This is a different prayer meeting. Father I am praying now that You would grant us a spirit of wisdom and of revelation, of insight into the mysteries, the secrets and deep intimate knowledge of You. Oh God, You open our eyes, the eyes of our heart and You flood it Lord with light so that we can really know Father and we can really understand the hope, the hope in You, the hope in You. The hope that is in You which You have called us to and how rich is his glorious inheritance in the saints. He has set apart ones so that we can know Father and we can understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of Your power in and for us who believe as demonstrated in the working of his mighty strength which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in Heavenly places far above, far above Lord. All rule and power and dominion in every name that is named. Above every title that can be conferred not only in this age and in the world, but also in the age in the world which is to come and that you, oh Lord, through Jesus, has put all things under His feet and You have appointed Him the universal and supreme head of the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all for in that body lives the full measure of Him who makes everything complete and who fills everything, everywhere with Himself. Hallelujah.

“And you were put in the earth today to be a fruitful position in God. If you would say, ‘What is my calling? What am I called to do?’ Bear fruit, here in is the Father glorified. For you see, I love to take weak frailty and manifest Myself to them and make an oracle of Myself.”

“Stop, stop questioning your position. Stop wondering for the disciples you know, they were flesh just like you, yet I,” saith the Lord, “joined them to Myself. Impulsive Peter, what a different spirit. Peculiar Thomas, with His defiant ways. I loved it,” saith the Lord. “I loved it. I loved for Heaven to touch them. I loved to be the Potter with the clay. I loved it because one touch of the Master changes everything. One touch of the Master. One touch of resurrection power changes it all.”

“And so it is that you are marked by Me and you have been marked all along for a time you see and so the hour has come.” Glory. So Jesus, you be Jesus in us. Father, help us to so decrease that You, oh God can increase. You are the resurrection power, and I believe with all of my heart that You are filling us this hour. Thank you Father. Jesus, be Jesus in me. Don’t let it any longer be me, but just You Lord, just You, just You oh God. Resurrection power. (Song – Jesus be Jesus)

The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of God

The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of God

by Olga Hermans

 

A vital revelation that Jesus shared on the subject of hearing ad doing is found in Mark 4. This is an important chapter for us to realize that we choose how we hear from God. In this parable of the sower, Jesus teaches us how to be fruitful in God’s kingdom and how to avoid being unfruitful. Guess what? It’s totally dependent on how we choose to hear and understand the Word.

You might say: “Is this really a choice that we have to make?” It is always our choice; we have to open our hearts by an act of obedience to God to be willing to hear Him. We are able to ignore the voice of the Lord; there will be moments that we don’t want to pay attention to His voice, we close our eyes, we take no notice of His voice. We have to be determined to hear His voice, like Paul said in Phil.3:10

We all are familiar with the parable in Mark 4:2-9, notice what Jesus said when He finished relating it to the people: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” v:9
The word hear in this verse isn’t just talking about hearing with our physical ears. True bible hearing includes not only hearing what God says, but comprehending what He means, receiving it in faith and meditating on it until it is planted in your heart so that you can do it.

When the knowledge of God’s Word comes to a person’s heart, understanding (revelation) enables him to walk it, talk it and apply it to his life. Living the Christian life is no longer a matter of keeping a set of rules and regulations. Instead, it becomes a supernatural walk of following God in the spirit, unhindered and undefeated.

Do you want to know the mysteries of the Kingdom?

And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [of our circle] everything becomes a parable. (Mar 4:11)
You see, it has been granted unto us God’s covenant people to know and understand the hidden mysteries of God. Proverbs 2:7 says that God stores up His wisdom for the righteous.

People who are not in right-standing with God can’t understand the wisdom of God or operate in it. It is hidden from them. They don’t qualify, but we who are born into the kingdom have “top secret clearance”!

God wants us to have understanding so He lights our candles by His Spirit with the Word of God and reveals the secrets of His Kingdom. Prov. 20:27 says, “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” And mark 4:22 says nothing is hidden from us.

The secrets of God’s Kingdom are waiting to be revealed to those who want them enough to spend time with the One who knows all secrets.

Here comes our part into play; we have been given the power of choice, to make choices according to the Word of God; yielding to God when he calls us to come to Him and spend time with Him. We choose to honor Him and acknowledge Him during our daily tasks; we choose to talk to Him and walk with Him.

He wants to reveal to us those things that are mysteries for us, the hidden things that we need to know. Choose wisely; our life is driven by our choices. Choose life!

 

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

 

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

by Olga Hermans

 

Do you remember my post on “our call to fellowship with the Father” on Febr. 19? You can read it here. We talked about  4 definitions and we talked about konoinia.

The best example of konoinia is a marriage. My husband and I got married in November 1980, 30 years ago. We have a beautiful love story, maybe I share that one day. We have known each other since 1965, so we are in the 46th year of knowing each other. That is a long time, if you think about it.

We know each other now in the most personal way possible; we have worked through things together and we have experienced the highs and the lows, the good, the bad and the ugly someone might say; the attacks of the enemy in our lives. We have gone through very hard places together. We know each other and we still are getting to know each other. Why is that?

That is because we shared life together and we still do of course.  I heard this quote by E.W.Kenyon as we talk about marriage here: “The two have become poured into the same cup perfectly blended.” And that is what we should be looking for not only in our marriage but also in our relationship with the Father, where the two of us are poured into the same cup together and we are perfectly blended and that people really would see Jesus in us.

At least to the best that we can exhibit, that they would see the Father blended in us and that we are truly one together. That is what it means to be “IN HIM”, to be blended with each other.

Koinonia is knowing somebody in the most personal way possible. Do you want to know the Father in that most personal way possible? I am very hungry for that. I know the Lord since may 15, 1989 and still sense that strong longing to get to know Him. That’s good. Remember what Paul said in Phil.3:10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding [the wonders of His Person]more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection. Ampl.

There is always more to know about Him; it is unending!! I t will take eternity for Him to exhibit the love that He has for us. It is massive, it is gigantic; it is beyond imagination! God is calling us by name into a close companionship, a sweet communion and an intimate relationship and a personal friendship with Him. He is calling you and I by name! That is what HE would like to have.

Have you ever thought about how to approach the Father? My heart has been yearning for a deeper and a more closer relationship with the Father. I have been yearning for that and it has been intensified the last year, what about you? I am hungry to know the Father in ways that I have never known Him before. My pastor in Tulsa; Billy Joe Daugherty many times said “in your quest to bring change in your life, you have to do something you have never done before.” So, in our quest to know the Father in a different way, we have to do something different.”

The Holy Spirit wants to help us in the relationship with the Father. Sometimes we have to get out of a mold, because it turns into religion; a habit and sometimes you have to break out of that in order to turn your thinking around to get a different perspective. So, sometimes you need to do something that you have never done before to get a different result.

So, let’s focus entirely on the fact that God wants a relationship with us. That is a change of focus, isn’t it? Let’s focus on the desire of the Lord instead of focusing on our desire to know Him. Let’s see the side of God on our relationship. So often we have an idea about God sitting on the throne in that huge authoritative way that we are continually approaching Him. We have our own perspective of what God is all about.

We have to be able to see the passion of God that He has for us; His hunger for us, His desire for us. He loves to hear our voices in the morning! He wants sweet communion with us and too many times we have that sense of unworthiness in us. But that is why we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Let’s come to end of this post ad let’s make a choice to build our relationship with the Father from another perspective. Let’s realize that he wants to fellowship with us and that as we go to Him to love on Him and to minister to Him and be thankful for everything that He has done for us; we also receive His love for us. Knowing how much He loves us, realizing how much He loves to hear our voice in the morning.  Will you make that choice? Choices change things in our life. Let me know what you think or what is going on in your life. I would love to hear from you!

4 Definitions Of Our Call To Fellowship With The Father

by Olga Hermans

 

Stepping into a deeper relationship with our Father, understanding Him and understanding His love, understanding what he wants to do for us requires a choice from us. We choose to answer the call of the Father, who longs for us to come into His presence and fellowship with Him.

1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. God is faithful to you and me! He always has been faithful and he always will be faithful to us. He will never let us down; He will never abandon us and He will never let go of us. He has not given up on you! God is faithful!

We are called unto fellowship! As we draw away to fellowship with the Lord, to express our love for the Lord in that secret place of prayer, the Lord will show us the next move for our life. So draw aside from the world today and be refreshed, redirected,  refired and best of all renewed!

When we tell the Lord how much we love Him and mean it from our heart, I can assure you (that when you get quite enough) you will hear Him say “I love you too”. God is faithful; He loves us no matter what we have done. He is always waiting for us to come back to Him to be with Him.

We are called to fellowship with the Father; this is a very personal call. We have various calls on our life. There are people that are called as pastors, teacher, and prophets or in the business realm. But there is something that all of us are called to and every one of is called to fellowship. You and are called to fellowship!

There is a call coming out of heaven to the Body of Christ and it is a call to fellowship. I want to know the Lord in 2011 more than ever before, what about you? I am seeking to have a living and vibrant relationship with my heavenly Father in a way that I never had before. I am so glad that He called me to fellowship. Do you hear the call? Are you awake enough that you hear Him calling you into His presence?

The GNB says ” God is to be trusted, the God who called you to have fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord”.

We all have the experience that we are called by telephone; somebody called you. Somebody spoke to you, somebody was after you. You see, God is after us! He is pursuing us.

The word “call” in the Greek means “to call aloud by name”. We/the sheep know the voice of the shepherd and He calls us by name. So, God is calling us by name into a new level of fellowship with Him. God is very personal with us.

It also means in the Greek “to invite”. We are invited by the Father into a place of intimacy with Him that you might not have experienced before. Or maybe you have experienced it, but it has waned over the years and now is the time that it is coming back into a deeper place with Him.

The word fellowship in the Greek is the word Koinonia. We are called into koinonia.
Here are 4 definitions of fellowship/koinonia.

1.   It is a close companionship; God is calling you into a living relationship with Him. A companionship is a fellowship that is close. There was a relationship that Moses had with God; as we all know it was a close companionship.

2.   It is a sweet communion; God wants that sweet communion. When you go into the presence of the Lord in your times with Him there is that sweetness about it. You just sense the presence of the Lord as you read your bible and worshipped Him; there is that sweet communion. It is the presence of God in your heart and on your life. It that sweetness that you don’t want to leave. Have you ever been there?

We all have to come to a place where the voices of the world are shut down and the voice of the Spirit turned up. So, you can hear Him loud and clearly! Give Him the first of your morning! The reward of that is this koinonia, this close companionship and this sweet communion.

3.   It is an intimate relationship that begins to develop and it carries you in all the things you do during the day. It is a personal relationship what I am hungry for. You?

4.   A personal friendship. Jesus called the disciples friends. There is a covenant friendship, that is developed between us and the father, that he wants more of from you and me.

This koinonia is knowing someone in the most personal way possible and the best example of that is a marriage. Choose to answer the call to fellowship with the Father. Make a choice to set time apart for God, who love you more that you and I are able to realize. Oh, how much He loves us! Here is a video that you might want to watch; let the words seek deep down in your spirit.

 

Deuteronomy 28:1-13

Deu_28:1-13

PRAYER:

Thank You, Father, for the provisions of our covenant. You have freely given me all that I need for success in life. I trust Your Word. I know that all of Your blessings have come upon me and they will overtake me. I am blessed in the city and blessed in the country. My children are blessed at my side. My production increases unfailingly under Your anointing. Everything in my care is fruitful and multiplies. I am blessed when I come in and blessed when I go out. When my enemies rise against me they are smitten before my face. They rise against me one way but flee from me in seven ways. You have commanded blessings on all of my storage places and my accounts. [Read more…]

Financial Inversion Shall Increase in These Days

Financial inversions shall increase in these days. For you see, it has been my desire to move in the realm of your financial prosperity. But release Me, saith the Lord, release Me that I may come in your behalf and move on your behalf.

For yes, yes, yes, there shall be in this hour financial distress here and there. The economy shall go up and it will go down; but those that learn to walk in the Word, they shall see the prosperity of the Word come forth in this hour in a way that has not been seen by men in days past.

Yes, there’s coming a financial inversion in the world’s system. It’s been held in reservoirs of wicked men for days on end. But the end is nigh. Those reservoirs shall be tapped and shall be drained into the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It shall be done, saith the Lord. It shall be done in the time allotted and so shall it be that the word of the Lord shall come to pass that the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Predominantly in two ways shall it be done in this hour. Those that have hoarded up and stored because of the inspiration of the evil one and held the money from the Gospel shall be converted and drawn into the kingdom and then shall it release that reservoir into the kingdom. But many, many will not. They’ll not heed the voice of the Word of God. They’ll turn aside to this and they’ll turn to that and they’ll walk in their own ways; but their ways will not work in this hour. It’ll dwindle and it’ll slip away as though it were in bags with holes in them. It’ll go here and it’ll go there and they’ll wonder why it’s not working now. “It worked in days past,” they’ll say.

But it shall be, saith the Lord, that the word of the Lord shall rise within men—men of God, of low esteem in the financial world—that shall claim the Word of God to be their very own and walk in the light of it as it has been set forth in the Word and give. They’ll begin to give small at first because that’s all they have, but then it will increase; and through the hundredfold return, so shall it be that the reservoirs that have held the riches in days past so shall it return to the hands of the giver. Because of the hundredfold return shall the reservoirs be lost from the wicked and turned to the Gospel. For it shall be, it shall be in this hours that you will see things that you’ve never dreamed come to pass. Oh, it’ll be strong at first in ways, then it will grow greater and greater until men will be astounded and the world will stand in awe because the ways of men have failed and the ways of God shall come forth.

As men walk in My Word, so shall they walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh, yes, there will be some who say, “Yes, but God’s ways are higher, surely higher than our ways and we can’t walk in those.” It’s true that the ways of God are higher. They are higher than your ways as the heavens are above the earth, but I’ll teach you to walk in My ways. I never did say you couldn’t walk in My ways. Now learn to walk in it. Learn to give. So shall the inversion of the financial system revert and so shall it be that the Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all the world and there shall be no lack in the kingdom. Those that give shall walk in the ways of the supernatural and they shall be known abroad. My Word shall spread and the knowledge of the Lord shall fill all the earth in the day and the hour in which ye stand. Ye shall see it and know it for it is of Me and it shall come to pass, saith the Lord.

Praying For Israel by Lynne Hammond

Praying For Israel by Lynne Hammond

by Olga Hermans

 

This is an unchanging spiritual truth set forth clearly in Scripture: Those who bless the nation of Israel will be blessed. Yet, I find as I travel and minister that a startling percentage of Christians aren’t doing anything about that truth.

It’s not that they don’t believe it. For the most part, they do. They know that God declared to Abraham and his descendants, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you” (Genesis 12:3 NKJV). They’ve seen that declaration repeated and confirmed throughout the Bible.

Their theological position on the issue is right. There’s just one problem. They neglect to act on it.

To be perfectly honest, we all make that mistake at times. We don’t intend to, of course. We simply forget about the little Jewish nation that for most of us is multiplied thousands of miles away. We get caught up in our own day-to-day lives. We get focused on our personal plans and forget that we’re a part of God’s great big eternal plan—a plan that includes not only us as individuals and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ but the nation of Israel as well.

Today I’m writing to remind you of that plan and to stir you to action. I’m writing to ask you to pray for Israel. “Oh, Lynne, I’d like to do that,” you might say, “but I don’t watch the news very much.

I don’t know what to pray because I have no idea what’s going on over there right now.” That’s okay. The Holy Spirit knows and He’ll show you what to pray if you let Him.

He’ll not only prompt you concerning current events and needs, He’ll give you prayer directions that come straight from the Bible—directions based not on the news or on political whim and opinion, but on God’s eternal, unchanging Word. Directions like these:

Number ONE: Pray For The Land

When it comes to understanding the land of Israel, secular news media (and most politicians) always get it wrong, so they can’t help you. They think the Jews’ presence in the land of Israel is the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. “If Israel would give up more land, things would settle down,” they say. But the truth is just the opposite. The more Israeli land is put into the hands of other nations, the more trouble there will be—for everybody.

Here’s why. It’s not just a piece of real estate they’re arguing about over there. It’s God’s property. It’s the only land mass in all the earth God has chosen for Himself and given to the Jews. Think of it! In all the world, it’s the only one.

Anybody who thinks the land of Israel isn’t important to God should think again or, better yet, read the Bible because it leaves no doubt about the issue. It records with great care the God-ordained boundaries of Israel. It tells how, time and again, God reminded the Israelites that He had given it to them and commanded them to possess it. (Thirty-two times in Deuteronomy alone!)

The Bible says in unmistakable terms that “the Lord made a covenant (promise, pledge) with Abram, saying, To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18 Amp).

As contemporary Christians, we sometimes miss the seriousness of that verse. We don’t fully grasp what a covenant really is. We think of it as a contract and since we have lawyers who help us break contracts whenever it suits us, we figure that over the years God probably changed His mind about giving the land to the Jews. But that’s not the way God operates.

He never breaks His covenants. He meant it when He said to Abraham in the land of Canaan, “Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever”  (Genesis 13:14–15).

Forever. That one word ends all debate. It settles the fact that God’s gift of land to Israel wasn’t just a temporary loan. It wasn’t just Old Testament stuff. It was part of an everlasting covenant.

A three-Fold Cord

To pray aright, this is what we as believers must understand and remember. God has bound the land of Israel to the Jews. He has bound the Jews to the land. And He has bound Himself to both of them. It’s a divine three-fold cord and anybody who tries to break it gets into serious trouble.

Ezekiel 36 makes that crystal clear. There God speaks about how the enemies of the Jews try to claim portions of Israel for themselves. He prophesies to the land (not to people but to the land! Isn’t that interesting?) and says that other nations have “snapped after and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and you became the talk and evil gossip of the people” (v. 3). Sounds like it could have been written yesterday, doesn’t it?

Read through Ezekiel 36:5–10 (Amp) and you’ll see that the first thing we can pray concerning Israel is for the land. We can pray for it to be restored from the ravages of the enemies who have tried to steal it. We can pray for the land to be productive and for its cities to be rebuilt. (Other people might complain when Israel builds 1,600 new homes for Jews in East Jerusalem, but we say, “Yea! God’s will is coming to pass. The cities are being rebuilt.”)

“But what about the Palestinians?” somebody might ask. “They’re descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael. Why don’t they have just as much right to the land as the Jews do? Doesn’t God love them too?”

Absolutely, God loves the Palestinians. Jesus died for them just like He died for the rest of us, and the Bible says that’s the greatest expression of love there is. Yet the fact remains that the land of Israel wasn’t given to Ishmael. It was given to Isaac. Just read Genesis 25:5-6 (Amp) and you’ll see this truth.

The “east country” refers to the Arabian Peninsula. That’s what Ishmael was given and it’s a huge chunk of land. So huge that you might wonder why his descendants are determined to take possession of Israel too. But it’s really no mystery.

Satan is always fighting God’s Word. He is always trying to stop it from coming to pass. He would love to see the land divided and the Jews pushed out of it. So he perpetually provokes and manipulates people toward those ends. In a nutshell, that is the reason for all the trouble in the Middle East.

Anyone who thinks the question of Israel is a geopolitical one is mistaken. It’s spiritual. That’s why it’s so important to us as believers. God says that when the Jews possess the land, “I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations … and the nations shall know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 36:23 NKJV). A Jewish

Israel brings glory to God. And as Christians, glorifying God is what we’re all about.

Number TWO: Pray For the Jews To Come Home—To the Land and To God

To find additional direction about how to pray for Israel, all we have to do is read the next verse in Ezekiel 36. There, God says to the Jews, “I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land” (v. 24).

As you probably know, the Jews were dispersed all over the world several thousand years ago after the destruction of the first temple. Some of the tribes got so lost that even today nobody can find them. But in our generation, we’ve seen a miracle take place. We’ve seen Jews streaming back home, back to the land of Israel from all over the globe.

Some Jews, however, are still being held captive because they live in nations that won’t let them go. One group I pray about a lot right now is the Jews in China. Isaiah 49:12 speaks specifically about them. It says, “Behold, these shall come from afar—and, behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim (China).”

That’s the verse I base my faith on when I pray for the Jews in that nation to be released. I’ve been told there are about 2,000 of them there right now but I am praying and believing that very soon they will all come home.

I don’t stop there, either. I also pray for the Jews’ spiritual homecoming. I pray for God not only to restore them naturally by bringing them back to the land but to restore their relationship to Him as well. That’s His will and His plan. Speaking to the Jews about the time of their return to Israel, He said:Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you. A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them. And you shall dwell in the land that I have to your fathers; and you shall be My people and I will be your God. (Ezekiel 36:25–28 Amp)

One of the best ways I can think of to bless the people of Israel is to pray for their spiritual restoration. What better gift could they receive?

Number three: Pray For the Peace Of Jerusalem

One thing most everybody agrees on today is that Jerusalem is a holy city. It’s holy to the Jews. It’s holy to the Christians. And it’s holy to the Muslims. But it’s only promised to one of those groups. God promised it to the Jews. It is not only a sacred part of their past, it is central to their God-ordained future.

This, too, is something many believers haven’t understood. Certainly, they know about the city’s biblical history. They know Jerusalem was the site for the first Jewish temple, the one Solomon built and that it was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. They know many years later, a less glorious version of the temple was rebuilt by Herod and that it was destroyed by the Romans about 70 A.D.

But that’s not the end of the matter. Bible prophecy reveals that when Jesus returns to reign on the earth, He will come to Jerusalem and build a third millennial temple there. It will rest on the original site of Mount Moriah and be the most glorious temple of all.

I can’t go into detail about it here but to get an idea of how important Jerusalem will be during the Millennium, read about it in Ezekiel 43. That chapter tells how the glory of God will fill the temple at that time and remain there forever. It declares that Mount Moriah will always be most holy and separated unto the Lord.

The prophet Zechariah adds that in those days the Lord Himself will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: …and Jerusalem shall be called the [faithful] City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again dwell in Jerusalem and sit out in the streets…And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets…Behold, I will save My people from the east country and from the west…And I will bring them [home] and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and faithfulness and in righteousness. (Zechariah 8:3–8 Amp)

Most wonderful of all is what the book of Isaiah tells us about Jerusalem. It says that during the Millennium “…all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:2–3 Amp).

Can you see how precious Jerusalem is to God? No wonder the Bible says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]” (Psalm 122:6 Amp).

In Hebrew, the word peace means “to be whole with nothing missing, nothing broken.” So that’s how we should pray for Jerusalem. We should pray that it would not be divided but kept intact under the sovereignty of Israel. We should pray that the people in it would be safe and prosperous.

Because Israel’s leaders are keys to those things, I often pray for them as well. These days I pray personally for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister; for the Vice Prime Minister, Moshe Yaalon; for the head of the Mossad, Tamir Pardo; for Defense Minister, Ehud Barack; and for the Chief of Staff, Gabi Ashkenazi. I also pray for generals and others in the military who because of the current situation with Iran are so vital these days.

Oh, friends, let’s not forget to pray often for the peace of Jerusalem!

Number FOUR: Pray For America To Do The Right Thing

Although I love Israel, I want you to know this: I also love the other nations and America in particular. The Lord gave me a prayer assignment for her many years ago and today it is stronger than it’s ever been. I want America to be blessed.

I want her to fulfill God’s plan and purpose. And to do that, she must deal with Israel not according to political opinion but according to the Word of God.

Those who bless Israel will be blessed. So as Americans, one of the greatest things we can do for our nation is to pray for America to bless the nation of Israel.

In what ways should we bless it?

Our government should recognize Jerusalem as its capital, for one thing.

God says it’s the capital, the Jews say it’s the capital, and we should agree with them. Congress should also continue to provide aid to Israel whenever it’s needed.

And our national leaders should refuse to join those who are criticizing Israel and be supportive instead.

As believers, we’re instructed to pray for “kings and for all that are in authority” (1 Timothy 2:2) and one of the things we can pray is for God to turn the hearts of our leaders so that they treat Israel with favor and wisdom.

That’s crucial if the United States of America is to stand as a sheep nation in the millennial judgment and not be destroyed with the goats.

I can almost hear someone thinking right now. What’s this about sheep and goats? What are you talking about?

I asked the same thing when I first started praying about Israel many years ago. I had no clue about the sheep/goat judgment until the Holy Spirit spoke to me about it in prayer and warned me that in the last days Satan would try to turn America into a goat nation. The Lord explained it by pointing me to Matthew 25.

Take a moment to read through what Jesus said in Matthew 25:31–36, 40–43, 45 NKJV.

I used to assume that Jesus was talking about personal judgment in this passage. But He wasn’t. He was teaching about the judgment of the nations, and the “brethren” He refers to are the Jews.

Once I saw what qualifies a nation to be a sheep nation is blessing and helping Israel, I began praying for America’s leaders to stay on the sheep side of things! Sheep nations don’t oppress the Jews or try to push them off their land.

Sheep nations don’t make evil compromises and alliances with Israel’s enemies.

That’s what goat nations do and they don’t have any place in the ultimate plan for the ages. They end up destroyed and forgotten.

I don’t want America to end up as a goat nation. I’m sure you don’t either, so let’s keep this prayer point before the Lord.

Since this is an election year, we also have opportunity to put feet to our prayers. There are many different criteria to consider when pondering how we should vote and one of them must be the candidates’ attitude toward Israel.

When I have an opportunity to talk to government officials, this is always my first question to them: What are you going to do about Israel?

To be honest, it’s a question we must also ask ourselves, as individual believers.

The Following Prophecy Was Given By Dr. Billye Brim on July 25, 2010

“The time and purpose for all of our lives are very important and in fact, you are alive to meet those appointments, those people, and to pray those prayers. Listen and keep ever aware and alert to the voice of the Spirit and what He would have you say and what He would have you to pray. When you go around your house and you hear a word – repeat it, for it will be from Me.”

“If at the beginning of your day, you will acknowledge Me in all your ways; then I will alert you, for it is critical in this day that I have My Body speak and say what I want it to say. Know you are on call – you are on call! Give Me your all – you are on call! In the daylight hours and in the nighttime too everything is speeding up, and will until you are through to the brightness of the new day.”

“And so, this is not the time to let the enemy keep you sitting in confusion, in darkness, and despair – wondering why you are alive or why even care. But this is the time to know of your import. This is the time to know, for it is short. Yea, give Me your thoughts, your words, and do not shrink for you are on the very brink of the most wondrous days that have ever been.”

“And yea, even before the brightness of the new day, you shall see upon the Body of Christ the anointing come – the anointing of the Glorious One. And on in glory and in power you are going to finish this out, it’s your finest hour!”

“Do not center on the negative. Yea, be aware and alert and know it’s there. Focus on the light of My face and upon sureness of My Glory and My Grace. Who will begin to walk in a new atmosphere? You’ll begin to walk where things are very clear. You’ll hear a voice and you’ll turn around and say, ‘Who said that?’ It is because your hearing is tweaked in this day.”

“Those plans that seemed hard to come by and you’ve known before, now they will be very clear. It is not like it was in days of yore. There have been some key moments, there have been some key happenings, and things have stepped up. And you will see the operation of the dunamis power. Spoke I not unto you and said when Oral Roberts moved to Heaven there came a shift and there will be another. For you shall soon hear of the departure of another brother and know that when he goes, another shift will occur.”

“And it is not you that has being shaken, it is darkness. You receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And though all around others might see darkness, not you – you’ll see Me. Hah! You’ll get another breath, you’ll get another pick-up – even in your body, My very Queen. So, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for days of rejoicing! Praise God!

Nothing is held back that you need in this hour. Every word that has been spoken concerns every person in this room. We thank you Lord that you have the wherewithal to do it. You have time – it’s measured, but you have it.”

TOMMY HICKS’ END-TIMES VISION

The following is a stunning vision given to American preacher Tommy Hicks (who was a major figure in the powerful 1954 Argentina Revival).

VISION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE END-TIME MINISTRIES
My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the  revelation  that  God  gave  me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was  so stirred  and  so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon  the  end-time ministries.

The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever  been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize  and  understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times.

I received a letter several weeks ago  from  one  of  our  native evangelists  down  in  Africa,  down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could  they  write,  but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the  territory  of  Tanganyika,  they came  across  a  small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across  natives that were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong.

They  told  him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had  to  leave.  They were  afraid  to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed  to  the  hut and  he  asked  them  to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go.

The native and his wife went to this little cottage  and  entered in  where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus Christ,  and  spoke the man’s name and the woman’s name and said, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I  command  life  to  come back  to  your bodies.”  Instantaneously these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people.

To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning  of  these  end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going  to  take every man and every woman and he is going to give
to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God.

In the book of Acts we read that  “In the last days,”  God  said, “I  will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I wonder if we realized what he meant when God said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I do not think I fully realized nor  could  I  understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the book of  Joel: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord  your God: for he hath given you the former  rain  moderately,  and  he will cause to come down for you the rain, the  former  rain,  and the latter  rain -” (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to  be  the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, but  he  is  going  to give  to  his  people  in these last days a double portion of the power of God!

As the vision appeared to me  after  I  was  asleep,  I  suddenly found  myself  in  a  great  high distance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly  the  whole earth  came  into  my  view.  Every  nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and  the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembing  as  I  beheld he great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.

As the lightning flashed over the face  of  the  earth,  my  eyes went  downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked  at  it,  I was  almost  bewildered  by  the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the  south.  Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be  a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but  his body was covered with debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it  would  even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run  away  from  this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back.

All  of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand, and when it  did  these  creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.

Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands  went  into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and  filth  that  was  upon him,  and  he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.

Suddenly,  every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon it was so  great  I could  not  even  begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord  and  I  said, Oh  Lord,  what  is the meaning of this.” and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the  Lord even as I was asleep.
And  from  those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant,  and  slowly,  slowly, this  giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted,  his whole form seemed to  have  melted upon  the  face  of  the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth  itself and  as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As  I  beheld the sight before me, people stood up all  over  the  world!  They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord.

At that very moment there came a great  thunder  that  seemed  to roar  from  the  heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white – the  most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, and  he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one, and to  another,  and  to  another.  And  as  he stretched  forth  his hand upon the nations and the people of the world – men and women – as he pointed toward  them,  this  liquid light seemed to flow from his hands into them, and a  mighty  anointing of God came upon them, and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord.

I  do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch  forth his hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people as he stretched forth his hand that refused the  anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God.  But  as he  stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each  of those that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed  to  go  into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.

I  was  bewildered  as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world,  in Africa,  England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they  went  forward  in the  name  of  the  Lord.  I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they  were rich  men,  they  were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness.  As  the  Lord stretched  forth  to give them this anointing, they became  well, they became healed, and they went forth!

And this is the miracle of it – this is the glorious  miracle  of it  – those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed as if there was this same liquid fire  in their  hands. As they stretched forth their hands they said, “According to my word, be thou made whole.”

As these people continued in this  mighty  end-time  ministry,  I did  not  fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, “What is the meaning of this?” And he said, “This  is  that which  I  will  do  in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpiller – I will restore  all that  they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of  the earth.”

As  I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the  face of  the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps  he  was  in Russia,  or China or America or some other place, and vice versa.
All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.

Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And  like  Jesus,  they  passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer, and  after  I  had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realised that I never saw a church, and I never saw
or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the  name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah!

As  they  marched forth in everything they did as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people  were  ministering  to  the multitudes  over  the  face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these  people stood  forth  and  gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it  seems  as though there were those that rebelled, and they would become  an-
gry and they tried to  attack  those  workers  that  were  giving the message.

God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last  hour as the world has never known. These men  and  women  are  of  all walks  of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would  stumble  and  fall, another would come and pick him up. There were no “big I” and “little you,” but every mountain was brought low  and every  valley  was  exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common – there was a divine love, a divine love  that  seemed  to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I  have  ever known.  Jesus  Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld this  sight.
I  could  only  cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the  face  of  the  whole  earth, bringing forth in this last end time.

As  I  watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations,  and  that congregation would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, “I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh,” and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and every  woman that  received this power, and the anointing of God, the miracles of God, there was no ending to it.
We have talked about miracles. We have  talked  about  signs  and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o’clock this morning the letter from our  native  workers.  This  is  only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a “do-nothing, an unheard-of,” who would go and stretch  forth  his hand  and  say,  “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body.” I dropped to my knees and began  to pray  again,  and  I said, “Lord, I know that this time is coming soon!”

And  then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle.

Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder, that seemed  to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice, the  voice that  seemed to speak, “Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride.” And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth  and  I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be  rising.  And  as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the  east  and  the  west, from the north and the south, and they seemed to be forming again
this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ  seemed  to  be  rising first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvellous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of.

But as this body suddenly began to form, and  take  shape  again, it  took  shape  again in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful  gorgeous  white.  Its  garments  were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered  into  this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the  Lord Jesus  came,  and  became  the  head, and I heard another clap of thunder that said, “This is my beloved  bride  for  whom  I  have waited. She will  come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time.”

As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the  far  north,  and  I saw  seemingly  destruction:  men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, “Now is My wrath being poured out upon the  face of the earth.” From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God’s wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember  it  as  though  it  happened  a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing  the  cities,  and whole nations going down into destruction.

I  could  hear  the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in he mountains opened up.

They  leaped  into  water,  but  the  water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were  wanting  to take their lives, but they could not. Then  again  I  turned  my eyes to this glorious sight, this body
arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly,  it began  to  lift  from  the  earth, and as it did, I awoke. What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries – the last hour.  Again on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before.

My life has been changed as I realised  that  we  are  living  in that  end  time,  for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a  churchianity.  It  is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord, and are going to say, “I heard it  so many  times  in  the  vision and according to my word it shall be done.”

Finding Time For God

Finding Time For God

by Olga Hermans

 

Unfruitful quiet times are a sign of immaturity. Wow…that is quite a statement isn’t it? It’s what a minister said once; let’s have a look at it, ok? Does that make feel uncomfortable and immature when you struggle with your own time of devotion, your own time to be with God. People start reading their Bibles and praying because they know it is the right thing to do or they heard that other people do it, but soon they find themselves just going through the motions.

They read their Bible, shut it, and forget what they read. Or they pray about a couple things that are important to them. Then they go on with the rest of their day. They think they’re doing everything they’re supposed to do to be a mature Christian, yet they don’t understand why they feel so weak.

So, we can ask ourselves who has time for a devotional prayer life when there is such need for supplication and intercession. Let me tell you; we all do.

Why? Because it’s the richness and depth of our own devotional time with God that determines how much of the heart of God we have. It’s our daily, personal intimacy with Him that determines how well we live.

Only One Thing
If you remember, Martha complained to Jesus that her sister Mary wasn’t helping her serve. But Jesus told Martha that her sister chose the better thing which was to sit at the Master’s feet and fellowship with Him.

That is a great story! It reminds me that life in God is wonderfully simple. Only one thing is absolutely necessary and that’s fellowshipping with the Master. Everything else we need to do will come from that time with Him.

When you begin to let that truth slip away from you, prayer can become very complicated and burdensome. People get disillusioned because they feel like they have done everything to get strong, but are still not strong. Why keep having quiet times? It doesn’t do any good to have devotional time if you’re not really connecting with God.

It’s time for serious Christians to stand up and say, “You know what? I’m tired of going through the motions and pretending I’m mature just because I’m doing this act. I’m only mature if I take what I read and apply it to my life and begin to do it.”
Let me ask you something. Do you want the strength to keep praying in faith for seemingly impossible situations day after day? Do you want the spiritual energy to keep praying in faith for your family or your nation or your lost neighbor even when all natural hope is gone? Of course, you do.

Making that choice might be hard, but the reward is so great! Making the choice to NOT make time for God might be easy, but the reward is struggle and doubt and condemnation and guilt and all that.

Well, faith works by love. So the more you fall in love with Jesus, the stronger your faith and your prayers will be.

That’s the truth! When you choose to make time and spend time just worshipping Him and surrendering yourself to Him, when in times of devotional prayer you begin to see Him and experience His love, your soul will absolutely burn to do something for Him.

You’ll be on fire with the power and desire to pray out His plan. You’ll pray for your family, for nations, for souls, and for the Church with greater effectiveness than ever before.

Your Love for Jesus Will Keep You on Track; do you believe that? It really does.
There is just something about spending time loving and worshipping God that will keep you on track.
No wonder Jesus, when He was asked what the most important commandment was, answered this way. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matt. 22:37).

Jesus rebuked the church at Ephesus in the second chapter of Revelation. Despite their hard work and the fact that they held fast to sound doctrine, He said:
I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love]. Remember then from what heights you have fallen. Repent (change the inner man to meet God’s will) and do the works you did previously [when first you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you change your mind and repent. Rev. 2:4-5 Ampl.

Did you also read what He said there about them falling from the heights? If you want to go to high places in the spirit, if you want to pray from that high place where you are seated with Jesus in the heavenlies, here’s how to do it:

Choose to spend time cultivating your love for Jesus. Spend time worshipping and ministering to Him. Spend time just getting to know Him through prayer and the Word. I’m telling you, the more you do that, the more you will fall in love with Him and the more you fall in love with Him the better you will pray.

Do you have an advise to the readers? What is your idea or suggestion?
