PRAYER BLOG - April 28, 2018

Greetings,

"And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham."  Genesis 17:22
"And the Lord went His way, as soon as He had left communing with Abraham:  and Abraham returned unto his place."  Genesis 18:33

Back to back chapter in Genesis, God comes down and visits with Abraham; and in both cases at the end of this fellowship, we are left with this awful thought, 'God went away'.  I don't know how best to phrase this, 'When God leaves. . . "; 'God went away. . . ".  Let us consider these phrases and thoughts that are much on our hearts for God's Manifest Presence, Revival and Prevailing Prayer.

1.  God's Manifest Presence - this is when God comes down;  in the Hebrides revival, Duncan Campbell was able to speak to the moment, that the earth shook and he declared, 'God came down'.  There is the realization of God's Divine Word and promises, that He is near us; and 'I will never leave you nor forsake you'.  Yet, there are moments that it is quite apparent that God is more than just near us or with us, but that He fills the very molecules around us.  Moses saw it in a burning bush, 'the ground you are on is holy ground'; Job's friend stated it, 'and the spirit passed and the hairs on my neck stood up';  David knew He was there when the wind blew in the mulberry trees; & Pentecost knew it for the wind of the Spirit blew in the upper room upon the 120 and the pillars of fire stood upon their heads.   We know the reality of God's nature, He is omnipresent; but how much more when the very fibers of our being declare, 'surely the Presence of the Lord is in this place'.    How much more for men and women of God;  all those born again are the children of God, yet, how much more for the ones that God says, 'I have called you'; the anointing of the Lord is upon me; the glory of the Lord was upon him.

When God's Presence is in the place and upon and before the people the next focus happens. . .

2.  Revival - revival mean the coming of the fullness of God upon His people to cause them respond to His Presence in multiple ways that it is evident that God is upon them. 
--One, they see their sin like never before.  Sin of confession, repentance and abhorrence grips the people of God.  Isaiah cried out, 'Woe is me for I am undone; for I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips".  They see sin in all of its awfulness and abhor it.  They detest it like never before.
--Two, the knowledge of God and all His depths is sought after like never before.  Nearness, holiness, faithful, pure love and abiding in Him become the Christian/churches prioirty. 
--Three, They must share and speak of the Lord like never before; telling everyone and any one that they too must come to Jesus and serve. 

3.  Prevailing Prayer - is that which births within an individual or group;  and they seek for the Manifest Presence with such urgency and fervency, to not be denied.  For God is moving to bring forth Himself to His people in such a marvelous way of revival.  And after God comes down, and revival is upon His church, they pray with such devotion that many other prayers are answered for they prevail in prayer in larger numbers.  For the Spirit of God is Manifesting Himself to cause them to pray.  Prevailing prayer brings forth God's Presence, for God is Sovereign and this is His will and plan.  And as prevailing prayer was a seed that brought forth the revival, so the fruit of revival continues to bring forth prevailing prayer for God's Kingdom to be done here on earth as it is in heaven.  

In each of these two passages God came down to Abraham.  He spoke with him, communed with him and revealed to him His plans.  Abraham interacted with God and was a part of this intimacy between God and man.  But in the end, the phrase that this time is now over is solidified by 'God went away'.   One of my great conversations with Ralph Sutera and Henry Blackaby was on this matter, after the Canadian Revival.  I asked them, 'After such revelations and Presence of God, when it was over (when God went away) how did you exist or come to grips with it?"  They both answered me, 'Because we always expected to experience again.'  The appetite for the Presence of God, revival and prevailing prayer became that which this life was all about;  revival is all about God.  

And in conversation with Richard Owen Roberts about when 'God went away' and the revival ceased, we discussed when man puts forth their dirty paws on only what God can do and be.  They corrupt that which is so splendid and marvelous for any human, for any Christian to experience, the Divine Manifest Presence.  Ah, brethren, do be careful in touching the ark, for you know what happened to Uzza.    these passages leave me with much joy in God coming down;  but much horror and anguish with the phrase, 'God went away'.

Prayer Targets:
--it is very alarming to me that over the last 10 days all the prayer targets have happened, near and far;  What is alarming to me about this is that, as some of have seen and said it, that we are now accustomed to these.  Cops being shot & killed; murder-suicides; school shooting; adultery/divorce; sex traffic & teacher/sex cases; drugs with OD & death; natural disasters, mass shootings, etc.  All these have happened over the last 10 days, and hardly even a ripple through the church to respond with "Pray for. . . "   Remedial judgements of God are sent to stir the church to a right response;  if the church has grown apathetic to God's warnings, then the next level of judgement will come.  these will be 7X worse than the previous, Leviticus 26.   Greater death and destruction are coming.
--war, economic crush, plague, greater earthquake (populated areas), etc.  are 'that which shall be' because the other warnings did not go heeded;
--National Day of Prayer -- much interest for Thursday, greater emphasis with Ronnie Floyd as president now;  

Update:
--finished bible reading, 48th time through;  will wait to May 1 to start again;
--'The Activity of God" up through Genesis 20; this is the next time through although this will take years to complete;
--Sermonindex Conference in October is a major focus right now for prayer and getting partners to join us;   please consider joining in daily prayer for this;
--24/7 prayer times;  we have seen an increase in participation of which I'm so grateful -- herein is the battle fought and won or lost by the 'continual cry of His people';    https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090945a4aa2da75-broken/58736439
--A Word  my devotional/commentary blog i'm up through Isaiah 52:7;  I have 1/2 of these started and finished;

PRAYER BLOG - April 21, 2018

Greetings,

"Woe, Woe, Woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"  Revelation 8:13

In Revelation there are 3 sets of 7 judgements.  The set of 7 judgements are the 7 seals;  the second judgement is the 7 trumpets; and the 7th trumpet ushers in the last judgements of the 7 vials.  This is literally about 1/2 way through all these judgements on man and the earth.  'God will bring every work into judgement, whether it be good or evil."  And 3 times at the beginning of this sentence is the word of warning, 'Woe, Woe, Woe".  Not only was it so bad about that which had already come,  but how much worse of that which is getting ready to happen.

In the first 4 trumpets 1/3 of everything on the earth, and heavens were destroyed.  And now the warning that 3 more were coming, and 'Woe, Woe, Woe' to those that would have to suffer through them.  How much worse was it to be!  We have seen a similar pattern, in the remedial judgements, things only get worse, and the cry goes out, 'Woe, Woe, Woe' to the nation, to our future for that which is getting ready to happen.   Warfare is coming and it is an immediate need to pray for a spiritual awakening to happen to our men and women.  Many will lose their lives and the church needs to understand these things.

As bad as it has been these last years, the worst is getting ready to happen.  All that has happened has not humbled the church to the place of brokenness and contrition.  It has not caused a major prayer movement to seek His face day and night.  The prayer meetings are scarce, and the participation is even less. Most prayer meetings that I'm watching is all about entertaining music for 40 minutes and praying 10 to 15 minutes, and talking 10 or 20 minutes.  This idea that entertaining music is worship is robbing us of true worship of Who God is, and praying in words, thoughts and adoration of His deeds,and words.   Many will participate May 3, which is wonderful, but where will they be May 4?

Woe, Woe, Woe that I have not prevailed, that the church has not prevailed as these evils have increased, we did not deepen our resolve to war a good warfare and prevail.  But our luke warm, sporadic, hesitant praying only emboldened Satan and he came in and robbed us of a future, robbed us of our next generation.  We have to lose it all, before we will pray with urgency, fervency and expectancy.  How awful!  Oh, how heaven must shake their heads, and ask the Father, 'What's wrong with them?'  We have to go through the 'Woe's' to feel the pain and sorrow and then rise up in obedience, and even then that is not a guarantee.  

so if there is was this one thing I can share with you and ask of you, it is this:  Understand that 'woe's' have come and gone through the remedial judgements that we have shared, prayed against and dealt with.  However, the worst is yet to come, and we must be ready to meet it.  Greater evils, greater persecution, greater sorrow and then the end.  For through all this God will work His work and His will will be done.  'shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'  Yes, He shall.  And In this, He has birthed a desire to pray and we have sought to do this to the best of our ability.  Yet, there is still so much ground to cover, so much more to learn, so much more to do.  And time is not favorable as it was 10 years ago.  We must pray so as to prevail; for the 'woes' are coming.

while there is time and day, brethren, pray.  For the night cometh when no man can work.  My beloved brethren, how I thank God for you and your labors; let us all be resolved that in these days, 'I will give myself unto prayer'. 






Prayer Targets:
--the usual woes have hit us this week again:  school shooting Friday in Fl; injuries but no death;  Two cops shot in Fl and killed;  drug overdoses and deaths continue;  also the Fl cops shot, the shooter killed himself - murder-suicide;
--May 3  National Day of Prayer;  let us see if increase of activity may continue after the day of remembrance;  a theme of unity and praying for much to be accomplished;
--Supreme Court ruling in regard are set to be released in May or June regarding our religious freedom;  other laws, judicial acts are happening;  all of which is an attack to stop the church;
--US pastor trail is underway in Turkey;  remembering all the persecuted church and the increase assault against our brothers and sisters in Christ;
--war;  lessening this week of saber rattling, but the pieces are still in place and set to escalate;  war is certain, just to what a degree and venue and place it happens is unforeseen yet;   asking for prayers for a mighty Spiritual Awakening for armed forces;  a mass of souls to be saved, before war happens, where many of these will die and be ushered into eternity;  pray now for their salvation before its too late;
--LGBT agenda, just will not lessen nor go away;  church has allowed this;  This is one of our main battle fronts for our future;
--more court cases and arrest of teacher/student sex;  perversions, lasciviousness gets worse and worse;



Updates:
--1 day, 7 pages to go in Revelation and I will be done reading the Bible through for the 48th time;  word study finished up this time is 'Destroy/Desolate/Devour";
Plans are to start again on May 1;  already started 49th time through with 'the Activity of God' to identify and reference all verses, phrases in the Bible from Genesis, to Revelation of God's action, reactions, words, promises, power and deeds.  this will take a long time to work through like my previous work of documenting my word/phrase studies in the bible, which took me just over 2 years.
But the goal is by September to be on my 50th time through for my 50th birthday.
--took on responsibility to help with prayer partners, points and participation for the Sermonindex Revival Conference;  I sent this out to the prayer group earlier this week to ask for partners to join us.  Also outlined a 5 point blog to help with speicifc points to bring before the Lord.
--24/7 prayer chain;  this is one of the greatest needs, especially in light of what I just wrote above for the times we are in.  Also, sent out this sign up for you to join us and help us.
--A Word - with everything mounting up, this was sure to be cut first; and it has.  I was doing so well, but time and restraints now limit me from doing what I need to do for this devotional/commentary;  Currently up to Isaiah 52.

SUGGESTED PRAYER TOPICS FOR SERMONINDEX REVIVAL CONFERENCE

Greetings,

We are very grateful that you have signed on to join us in prayer for the days leading up to and including the Sermonindex Revival Conference Simulcast.  We know the promise of Christ, 'if two of you agree as touching anything here on earth, it shall be done for you in heaven.'  And seeing these evil days we are in, these days are especially important to prevail in prayer.  Thank you again for joining us and we look forward to this great opportunity that the Lord is allowing for us in October.

When people sign up to be a prayer partner, there is a wide range of prayers.  There are some of you that you have done this for years and you have your way of prayer.  There are others that are new to this and wondering what is required and what they should pray for.  This letter is to set before us a basic over all coverage of topics to bring before the Lord in agreement.  This may not be all inclusive of the topics and you can add in your prayer time those which the Spirit brings to your mind and heart.  But this is to have a general coverage of the issues that we desire to see covered daily before the Lord between now and October.

First, as agreeing to be a prayer partner, it is assumed that you are praying person.  And we know very well, that schedules are different, prayer times are different and that adjustments must be made.  But as a general rule, we are asking of you, as you are able to develop your own prayer times for this gathering, that you come daily, each day before the Lord to pray over these things.  Some days may be cut short, due to circumstance, work, situations and we understand that each day may bring its own issues.  We simply ask that you remain faithful for the next 5 and 1/2 months to pray in agreement each day with us.

Secondly, as we are praying together, there are other opportunities for us to pray together throughout each month.
1.  On the last Saturday of each month, Dai Sup hosts a prayer time via conference call.  He has agreed to focus for about 2 hours each morning on that Saturday for the Revival Conference.  Others of the conference and Sermonindex join that prayer time.

2.  Brother Edgar Reich, also one of the speakers for the conference, hosts the Monday night prayer call, via conference call.  This call is 9 PM (est) each week.  And he has agreed to allow for us to join them one Monday night each month to focus in prayer for the gathering and for revival.

3.  We are hopeful to secure one more opportunity that will allow for us each month to pray together, and details will be shared when that happens.  

As your prayer time for this gathering begins, here is a list of topics that you can pray specifically over:

1.  The Days -- October 3, Wednesday evening, a prayer gathering that evening;  October 4 - 6, Thursday - Saturday;  each day to cover the days together, the overall gathering and the activity of that specific day of speakers,


2.  The Speakers --  by name specifically to cover them:  Al Whittinghill;  John Avant; Brian Long; Glenn Shepherd;  Malachi O'Brien;  Sandeen Poneen;  Edgar Reich;  Douglas Detert; Shane Idleman;  Keith Daniel;  David Guzik;  and Dan Biser;
Moderators:  Don Currin;  Dan Biser;  Greg Gordon;

For the speakers and leaders of this gathering pray for --  preparation, to hear from God for the message to share;  keep them from the enemies assault and attacks;  Divine Holy fullness upon each that we be as one, and Spirit filled to see His glory;  


3.  Host Church -- Westside Christian Fellowship;  Leona Valley, CA;
Pastor -- Shane Idelman;

The host church, pastor and staff need to be held up during these days.  The enemy can attack right at the heart of where we are to be gathered.  And our preparation and prayer of protection for the place of gathering is needful so that it is ready, a holy place and consecrated for the days there.  All the issues of housing, food, services, travel, tech issues are needed to be brought before the Lord.  His Divine Presence to help them, protect them and aid them for all that needs to be done.

4.  Simulcast Host --  Many cannot attend at the home church, but will be participating with us at their own respective churches and homes.  The issues to bring before the Lord is of course, tech issues, distractions that may hinder all these from participating.  This is a world wide opportunity and governments, the enemy, and issues will be used to stop and restrict participants from being with us.  Pray for deliverance, protection and restrain the enemy from his plans and devices.

5.  Revival  -- this is a gathering, to bring forth a solemn charge that God is worthy and desires to Manifest His Divine Presence to His church.  Many of you have longed desired and prayed for revival to fall upon the church, the body of Christ.  God birthed that desire within you, and this seeks to encourage and continue to be steadfast, unmoveable, persevering and faithful to this charge.  We lose focus, get discouraged, forget, become unbelieving, and negligent, these are the things the enemy wants.  But this gathering is to renew us to the desperate hour we are in and how much, more than ever, we need God.  Continue and pray for God's Divine Manifest Presence  'to come down'.

These are just a few points to consider and bring before the Lord together.  As I said, it is not a complete lists by any means, but just the basic oversight for us to bring before the Lord daily.  Thank you again for joining us and may God be pleased and glorified.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Blessings,

Until,

SERMONINDEX REVIVAL CONFERENCE PRAYER PARTNERS

Greetings,

Brother Greg Gordon has announced that the Lord has allowed for him to set forth a time for us to gather in October for a Revival Conference.  Made up of 12 speakers over 2 days to focus on this great need of our day, Revival for the Church. 

We recognize that the church in North America is not where it needs to be in its pursuit of holiness, Christ-likeness, Holy Spirit fullness and in prevailing powerful praying.  As Jesus, in Revelation 3, rebuked the church of Laodicea for their luke-warmness, so comes our condemnation.  We are in desperate times as we have seen in our life time evil increase, sin dominate, and wickedness prevail over the hearts, minds and souls of our nation, future, families and even in the church.  This time is needed to return to the Lord with whole hearts, clean hearts, and Spirit filled hearts. 

You are being asked to consider joining us in prayer for these special days of gathering.  Praying for the many aspects that lead up to this time and prepare the ground for our gathering.  We are asking for you to consider to pray for the following:

1.  Time and place:  October 3 (prayer gathering), October 4 - 6, 2018, Revival Conference at Westside Christian Fellowship, Leona Valley, CA;
2.  Speakers:  12 speakers:  Brain Long; John Avant; Glenn Shepherd; Edgar Reich; Shane Idleman; Sandeep Poonen; David Guzik; Douglas Detert; Al Whittinghill; Malachi O'Brien; Keith Daniel and Dan Biser;
3.  Simulcast Viewers:  with tech advancements we will be able to broadcast this conference to many around the world;  And with this, there is the added issue of tech issues for all to work properly and go right.  As well as to pray for those churches, houses, that will be hosting and those that will be gathered together in their respective places to participate with us.
4.  This will be a holy time for this gathering and we are asking for a dominant, captivating Presence of the Holy Ghost to fall on those before, during and after.  Prevailing prayer is the means to accomplish this. 

Now over the next 5 and 1/2 months there will be updates and other issues to bring before you prayer partners.  There will be special conference calls for prayer scheduled each month and each week to focus on these days.  This is an initial letter of invitation to ask of you to join us.  Please contact me or Greg to receive emails and communications regarding these prayer needs.

PRAYER BLOG -- April 14, 2018

Greetings,

"And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."  Ephesians 3:19

Found in this prayer of Paul for the church of Christ is this great verse for our need and desire today.  There are 3 things for us to consider in it for our pursuit of revival and His Divine fullness in each of us, as the body of Christ.

1.  To know the Love of Chirst;

2.  that which passes this knowledge - experience;

3.  Be filled with God the Holy Ghost;  



1.  To know;   Now this knowing the love of Christ is not just the head knowledge of the fact of being able to recite John 3:16.  It is the understanding of belief in what He has done, is doing and Who He is.  God is Divine love. 

Ravenhill once said, 'we don't know God;  we don't know the Word of God and we don't know the God of the Word'.  This phrase, which I use so often, speaks much to me about our problem in the church today and with prayer and the pursuit of revival.
1.  Too many, throughout my Christian experience in the churches, pulpits, teachers, and pews have no knowledge of the Word of God.  This is multiple reasons:  1) they don't read it; 2)  they never have adequate bible study times, privately or corporately;  3)  they don't feel a need to know it.
2.   This leads to them not knowing Who God is.  1) no knowledge what God has revealed in the Bible about Himself; His Names, His attributes, His works and deeds    No time spent in gazing, adoring or dwelling through meditation about these things of God that  causes us to know Him better and deeper.
3.  No time spent daily, weekly or for many decades in a healthy walk and acknowledgment of these things that causes us to know God and know the God of the word.

Out of these 3 things comes a pure, undefiled love of Christ for Who He is, what He has done and is willing and going to do for those that belong to Him.  Many out of their ignorance of the Word and the activity of God do not know the depths of His Divine love for us.  Out of this love for Christ comes forth the great part of our praise and worship of Him in prayer.   Out of this love for Christ comes forth the brokenness and contrition over our sins.

2.  That which passes this knowledge - experience;
Once the mind is filled with the knowledge of Who Christ is, what He has said about Himself and done, it fills the Christian with a greater love and appreciation that causes us to obey, become like HIm and be with Him.  A healthy, spiritual Christian exemplifies these things because they know Who He is and they are drawn to Him.   Murray said: "A glance at Christ will save; but it is the gazing at Christ that sanctifies."  How much difference to those that simply have a knowledge about Christ;  yea, even the devils have this; than for those that seek His Presence and long with faithful love to abide in Him, and He in them.

The Christian that experiences this love daily is the most healthy, spiritual one that you will find.  He gives them spiritual blessings, because they have learned that in Him are all things to endure, be faithful, overcome and complete His task.  Answered prayers, blessings, provisions, are sources that reveal the love of God to His children.  Not only that which He has done, as given in the Word, but through biographies and the church history to show and demonstrate He is faithful to each generation that seeks Him.  'If you seek Me, you will find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.' 


3.  Be filled with the Holy Ghost;

 Have you been filled with the Spirit?  Do you know what this is?  do you desire it?  in the book of Acts, there is that questions asked by followers of Christ, "We have not even heard of this being filled with the Holy Ghost."  And to many in the church today, being taught all their life of humanism, is found relying on self and men rather than God and Spirit.  That which is most needful for the first church, and for the church today, is the least thing sought for.  I believe this goes back to our understanding of the Bible as well.  We seek to much to rest in our own ways or the ways of man, rather than the ways of God.

Paul was filled, he prayed for others and laid hands on them and they were filled, and we need this also.  To see the outpouring of God's wholeness we must know Him, love HIm and be filled with Him.  When these 3 things break down, we see the mess we are in today.  If there is to be a revival,  it will be because God completed and fulfilled it in a man, woman, or small group that did it right. 


Prayer Targets:
--War;  not because of Syrian being bombed for their use of chemical weapons;  but I have been sharing for months, now that one of the remedial judgements not exercised upon our nation is war an death through its repercussions;  It is time right now to pray for a genuine work of God to be done in the armed forces for the saving of men & women before war time comes.  God was merciful before the Civil War to send the great revival of 1840's, 50's leading up to the Civil War, where 500,000 people died.  the nations are positioning for conflict with China, Russia, Iran and North Korea;  by God's Divine hand of mercy these things can be taken care of.  However, our nation is under judgement as well as theirs', and I fear that God is sending the red horse in Revelation to war.
--continued progression of evil by LGBT agenda in courts, laws, and society's influence;  church largely silent and allowance for this evil to spread and devour our future;
--last week 2 more situations of teacher/student sex cases;  this had been quiet for a while; but as in all judgements, there is a lull period before the next wave;
--murder-suicides; awful case of incest, baby and murder-suicide of father-daughter;  a greater perversion with the incest;
--drugs; death, abuse, epidemic, destruction of next generation;
--lack of response by the church to the urgency of this hour;
--weather natural disasters continue and look to increase as spring weather and imbalanced places setting up for drought (1/4 of South West of US-extreme OK);  wildfires;  tornados,  earthquakes have been non factor, expecting major change;
--new disease concerns;  STD's over 2 million reported, highest ever;  new strains of STD's resistant to meds, other bacteria and new plague on the horizon;
--economy; 
--2 more police officers have been shot; I do not believe they have died but critical condition; 




Updates:
--bible reading, T - 80 pages to go;  Up through Ephesians; coming down to the stretch for the 48th time;
--newest work for 49th time through is verse by verses, 'The Activity of God';  first 4 and 1/2 chapters of Genesis took me a long time for several reason, one of which was that almost every verse has the activity of God being done.
--24/7 prayer time   Cannot express how you are needed to pray with us and for us;  weekly, daily, to invest time for the spiritual matters, future, and revival;    http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090945a4aa2da75-broken
--A Word blog;   nearing completion of Isaiah chapter 51;  over 1,930 blog devotional/commentary started;   the labor of this time investing work is not starting a verse, it is completing it;
--sermons uploaded to  youtube page;
--as many of you know now, Greg Gordon has set up a Revival Conference for Oct. 4 - 6;  I will be helping in prayer, moderating and speaking at this time together to seek about the Lord's will for revival;

PRAYER BLOG - April 7, 2018

Greetings,

I have marked 25 Scriptures that tell us of God's nature toward us due to our response to Him.  Some of these reciprocal responses between God and us are blessings:  for example --
James 4:8, 'Draw nigh unto Me, and I will draw nigh unto you';
Malachi 3:7, "Return unto Me, and I will return unto you"

but there are others that are horrifying and sounded as a warning for us:  for example ---
Deuteronomy 31:16 - 17, "They will forsake Me; therefore I will forsake them"
Ezekiel 23:17 & 18, "their minds were alienated from Him; God's mind will be alienated from them"

Zechariah 7:13, "Therefore it is come to pass, that as He cried, and they would not hear; so they cried and I would not hear, saith the Lord."

With the increase of the prayer movement, I am wondering just where we are in light of such bible verses.  God births within us these desire to pray and to cry out to Him.  Yea, it is one of our greatest witnesses of Him, that when we 'called unto Him, He answered us and showed us great and mighty things which we knew not."  The other day in pray, worship time, I began the prayer unto Him, of Himself, 'when I remember what You have done. . ."  and following came forth a flood of answered prayers, provisions, blessings, salvation's, Divine encounters with God that flooded the mind, heart and soul of great honor unto Him.  But then again, how many times has He called, directed, spoken and we did not hear Him, or we did hear Him but disobeyed Him.


One of the things that has become ever so alarming is the increase in the remedial judgements on our nation.  That which is happening in other parts of the world, should be a learning as well of what may be for us.  But we have seen so much in these 18 years, this century thus far, that should humble us with where we are and what's going on.  Yet I don't hear these reciprocal verses of God's response to us, due to our response to Him.   I believein order for us to understand how the prayer movement can increase, for over 40 years and still see so much evil come upon us; so many remedial judgements is that our prayer movement is not acceptable to God.  Is that a hard saying?  I know it is; I know it may not be the answer, but in light of these verses and the response of God, it should at least be considered.  For this much I know, the rise of evil is not God's fault;  and it is not simply because Satan is stronger or more influential; then it is upon the church and their response to Him.  Perhaps its time to examine what we are doing and why we are doing it.  Did God not condemn Israel in these passages of Zechariah that when they fasted, offered and prayed it was not to Him?  People become so defensive that they are praying, they are serving, they are doing ministry; but what if in doing these things it is not unto the Lord, but out of self and duty?

If its not God; and its not Satan, that simply leaves us.  The church is not surrendered to be endued with power of the Holy Ghost; not filled with the desires of the Lord to read, to pray, to speak, to go, to do;  not as deep in prayer as we should be;  fasting is increasing but still I would suspect that it is limited to the level that the body should be in these days of evil.   For I firmly believe that with the rise of evil on our watch, we should have gone deeper in prayer than ever before.  the church should have been more militant to war a good warfare;  we should have turned to Him for help like never before.  And all the while these evils were happening, He was calling to us, beckoning to us, giving us time and opportunity to prevail with Him.  And only a small remnant got it.  Now as the walls are crashing, the foundations of the nations are crumbling, the church is deteriorating, families are all but extinct, the church is seeking to rally and crying out like never before, or at least unlike we have seen in recent decades.

This rose when the threat of Hillary was possible the next president.  But for the greater part after the election, a vast majority returned back due to fear of her being elected.  Yes, it is a reprieve,  but if you think they are stopped or going away, you are gravely mistaken.  OUr greatest battle lies upon us now.  These agendas of evil have captured so much of the minds, hearts and ground of our nation; we are not taking it back like we should.  and the whole is swallowing up what remains in the church. 


It is all but certain that the next and new wave of remedial judgements are coming upon us.  God in His mercy sends and allows for these remedial judgements to come, to cause His people, the church to respond rightly to Him.  The failure of the church to rightly identify our high offense against Him has caused these horrible happenings.  the nation is sinking into deeper sin, and is now on a pace for self-destruction.

Here is something to consider just how much has happened to us, as a nation, in this century thus far:

--April 20, 1999 - Columbine school shooting;  a year before the century began, but it has been the initial warning of what was to come;
--December 26, 2004 - Christmas day earthquake & tsunami - 9.1 earthquake and 250,000 killed;  This was another awe moment of seeing and knowing how quickly disaster and death can come, in one event.  Natural disasters.
--August, 2005 - Hurricane Katrina;  most powerful, deadly, and record costs setting storms in US history;
--2007 - 2008;  economic collapse due to greed in banking system;  world wide affects from this housing bubble;  
--March 11, 2011 - Fukushima earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown;  this was a major earthquake of 9,0 that triggered a massive tsunami.  19,000 deaths from tsunami, the Pacific Ocean is all but filled now with the release of the cooling water from the nuclear plant;
--July, 2012; aurora theater shooting - 25 killed;  
--December, 2014;  Sandy Hook school shooting; 28 killed; another moment in our history that stopped us and we see the evil of men and the judgements upon our nation;
--2008 - 2010 - 2013 - Prop 8 voted in California to not allow same sex marriage;  overturned by 9th Circuit court; Supreme Court allows same sex marriages, thus destroying marriage instituted by God and the allowance of evil, now legalized and judicial edict to permit evil in our land openly and in direct defiance against God and His word and ways;
--August, 2017;  double hurricanes over the gulf coast;  an historic moment of destruction;  Again an heightened increase in natural disasters on our land.
--October 2017;  Las Vegas mass shooting;  record number set in this evil unleashed unsuspecting people.


I do this historical unfolding so often that we are reminded of these events that shook us in the moment, but quickly passed and we right back to our way of life. A response from the heart that was only slightly toward God for the moment; it is not an enduring, lasting response of surrender to the Lord.  Our response was not as in Zech. 1:4 'turn to Me, and I will turn to you';  but we would not turn to Him with the whole heart.  Our failure to turn to Him in our hours and moments of needs are what causes this in Zechariah 7.  "I called for you, but you would not hear ME;  now you call for Me, and I will not hear you."

the prayer movement may rise and escalte in participation, but what good does that do, if the Lord will not hear us due to our sin and neglect of Him.  Let the wrongs be made right; let the sins be confessed;  and then plead for revival, for His help; for Himself to come among us.  To do this right, someone will pay the price to be broken and contrite over these things, recognizing them and rehearsing them before Him for our shame and remorse.  But this is a hard thing to find, when so many are so defensive when confronted about our position and plight.  this Scripture is dismissed, for the Scriptures that say, 'God hears all prayers'.  But the reality is that there is a greater depth of the prayer movement needed to beseech Him for this hour and prevail 'in wrath to remember mercy'.  For Him to help us, and Manifest His Divine Presence to us.  Our time is growing to a close, will we leave it as such to the next generation?  We can't afford to that.  Too much is at stake and we need to strike now, while we still have time and opportunity.  I plead with you, don't turn a defensive ear to me, but let us go before the Lord and plead with Him, 'for who knows if He will turn and leave a blessing behind Him?' 



PRAYER TARGETS:
--ISIS/Boko Haran; their evil and death and destruction continue;
--drugs;  legalization, practice, deepening of affects are nearing tipping point of no return;  Not only that which is on families and lives and society; but erasing a generation to repopulate and systemically bring us to the point of ending our nation;
--war;  It is becoming clearer that war is nearing, and with each day and week more pressing that it will be this year.   gas in Syria again;  Russia/China alliance;  heightened political fallout on governments;

--murder-suicides;  Youtube shooting, attempt at more deaths, and took her own life;   mothers and children over the cliff in CA, 6 dead;  Deuteronomy 28 judgements;
--cops shot another unarmed man in NYC;  as any officers that have been killed, this has been also the other side of this condition;
--LGBT agenda is not going away; they have swelled in numbers and great gains, and the church has largely allowed it and is not seeking much to take back the ground;  they will not stop but continue til the church is silent and removed or given to join their hellish agenda of evil;

ACTIVITY OF GOD - GENESIS

The Activity of God

Going through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, phrase by phrase and word by word to give attention to the following:
--the Names of God;
--the word & deeds of God;
--the sayings of God;
--the attributes of God;

Too often the churches weakness and the Christians weakness is found in this one sin, 'we do not know God'.  We have not studied the Bible, nor Him to learn more of Him.  Seeking that this might be a help for myself and others in this pursuit that each of us 'may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.'

Genesis
Chapter 1
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  --God created;
1:2   And the Spirit of the God moved upon the face of the earth.  --Spirit of God moved over face of earth;
1:3  And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.  --And God said/spoke light into existence;
1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good:  and God divided the light from the darkness.  --God saw/sees what He created and its fulfillment;  God divides light from dark;
1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.  --God called (2), God speaks it into existence, the names of day & night, which comes from His Own creations of light & dark;
1:6 And God said; --And God said/spake
1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:  and it was so.  --God made, and God divided;  God made a heaven above the waters and beneath the waters and then separated them from each other; God separated the waters to make and form;
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven .  --God called the name of it;
1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear:  and it was so.  --And God said/spake;  Spoke the waters to separate and gather into one place and dry land to appear, His creation and Design;
1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas:  and God saw that it was good.  --God called the name of it (2);  God saw/sees it was good and acceptable to Him;
1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose see is in itself, upon the earth:  and it was so.  --And God said/spoke; God brought forth grass and seed and fruit trees; God made it to be reproducing.
1:12 and God saw that it was good.  --God sees/saw it was good and acceptable to Him;
1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  --And God said/spake; Creating the sun, moon to determine seasons, time and separation of day and night.
1:15 and it was so.  --God had said it in verse 14 and now the Divine act of lights in the heavens was done because He had said so and it was complete;
1:16  And God made two great lights. . . He made the stars also.  --God made the sun, moon and stars; His power of creation is beyond our concept;  Knowing also their purpose for His created universe;
1:17  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth - God's purpose to give light to the earth, but the activity of God is that He set them in the heavens;
1:18  and God saw that is was good.  --God saw/sees and it is good in His sight;
1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life and fowl that may fly above the earth --And God said/spake; fish and fowls brought forth in the sea and sky, His hand of creation;
1:21 And God created great whales and every living creature that moveth which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind:  and God saw it was good  --God created the fish and the birds; God saw/sees and it is good in His sight;
1:22 And God blessed them, saying, -- God pronounces a blessing for them to multiply and re-create to sustain themselves;  God said/spake this into their ability of procreation;
1:24  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:  and it was so  --And God spoke/said; allowing His creation of animals, creeping thing to be created and brought forth, and it was so;  God spoke it and it was so, it is done;
1:25  And God made the beast of the earth, and cattle, and every that creepeth upon the earth:  and God saw that it was good   --God made animals and creeping things;  God saw/sees and it is good in His sight;
1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:  let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth;  and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth  --And God spoke/said;  Let us make man -- the Trinity, God speaking making man with Himself, FAther, Son and Holy Spirit;  He gives them authority over all else that He has created and made upon the earth.
1:27  So God created man in His Own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.  --3 times in this verse is the activity of God, God created man in His Own image;
1:28  And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:  and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  --God blesses them; if God blesses who is able to remove it?  And God said/speaks to them;  the Lord grants them power and ability to procreate, replenish, have dominion and subdue the earth and all that is in it over fish, fowl and animals.
1:29  And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, every tree of fruit to you it shall be for meat.  --And God speaks/says;  God give them His creation for food and sustenance.
1:30   I have given every green herb for meat:  and it was so.  --God gives the animals, birds and creeping thing the green herb for meat/food;  and it was so -- God brings it to pass as His design and purpose.
1:31  And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold it was very good.  God looked and saw; God created and made and it was very good.  Everything else in this chapter when God looked at it was good; but here at the conclusion it is very good
Chapter 2
2:1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.  The Lord God is not mentioned in this work, but seeing that all the heavens and earth were created by Him and for Him, it is His work of completion for His purposes.
2:2  And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.  God ended His work; God made (2); God rested; God worked
2:3  And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it:  because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.  God blessed the 7th day and sanctified it, made it holy;  God rested; God worked; God created and made all of creation.
2:4  when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens  --God created; God made the heavens and the earth (2);
2:5  for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth   --the Lord gives rain and withholds rain, yet here there was no need for rain as it was sustained from the earth in a mist and dew to water vegetation;  the Lord causes it not to rain;
2:6   But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground   -- the Lord made it to be so that His creation would be sustained and maintained.
2:7  And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  --God formed man from dust, created in His image;  God breathed into his nostrils life.
2:8  And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.  --God planted a garden, perfect Eden;  God put man there;  God formed man.
2:9  And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;  the tree of life & the tree of knowledge;  --God made the trees to grow and for food and in sight beautiful;  God created tree of life and tree of knowledge - eternal purpose;
2:15  And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it  --God put man in garden to dress and keep it;
2:16  And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, -- God commands; God speaks/says;  A directive of which trees to eat;
2:17 God commands;  God speaks/says continues from verse 16;  a curse for eating of the tree of knowledge; pronouncement of death for disobedience;
2:18  And the Lord God said, I will make him an help meet for him  --God speaks/says;  God makes woman for man;  I will's of God;
2:19  and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beat of the field, and every fowl of the air;  and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them  --God formed every creature, beast, fowl and brought them to Adam to be named by him;
2:21  And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept:  and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof  --God causes Adam to be asleep;  God takes his rib and closes him up;
2:22  And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.  God took from man a rib;  God mad a woman;  God brought her to Adam.
Chapter 3
3:1  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made;  Yea, hath God said  --God made the beasts of the field, the serpent;  Although Satan is asking a question, we know God has said/ has spoken;
3:3  God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.   - And God spoke/said;  God pronounced punishment of death for disobedience;
3:5   For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof - God knows, Omniscient;
3:8  And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  the voice of God speaking/walking; And God said/says;  His presence among them, He came down to be among them.
3:9  And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  --God calls; And God says/said;  He asks a question that He already knows the answer too.
3:10  I heard thy voice in the garden: and I was afraid  The voice of God speaking/saying;
3:11  And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?  Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?  And God said/speak;  Asking two questions to which He already knows the answer.  The Lord commanded;
3:12  The woman which Thou gavest me  The Lord gave woman unto man;
3:13  And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?  And God said/says;  The Lord asks a questions that He knows the answer to.
3:14  And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field;  upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:  And God said/says;  God curses the serpent; removes legs and places him upon the dust of the earth to go; curses in respect and fear above all other animals of creation.
3:15  And I will put emnity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;  it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.  and God said/speaks, continuing from the previous verse of His curse upon the serpent.  God put emnity between the snake and the woman, between Satan and man.
3:16  Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring froth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  And God said/speaks; As He cursed the snake, so now He brings His curse upon the woman for action in this folly of eating of the tree;  she shall have labor and sorrow in conception and birth pangs of labor.  she shall also be submitted to her husband and he will rule over her.
3:17  And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:  cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.  And God said/speaks (2) in this verse;  The Lord commanded them not to eat of the tree, which they disobeyed, and now they receive the curses from the Lord for their choice and actions of sin against Him and His Word.  God cruses the ground because of Adam and he will labor in sorrow and eat of it all the days of his life.
3:18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.  God continues His curse upon the ground and Adam for his sin.  God issues the command for the ground to bring forth thorns and thistles.
3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken:  for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.  God continues curse upon Adam, saying that he shall labor by sweat of his brow for food.  He shall return in death to the dust of the earth from which he came.  For he was taken from the dust by God and made man.
3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.  The Lord made coverings for Adam and Eve, killed animals, to skins and clothed them.
3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:  and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:  And God said/spake saying God knows good and evil;
3:23  Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.   God sends man out of the garden of Eden; Adam tills the ground from whence the Lord made him.
3:24  So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.  God drive man out;  God places angels to guard tree of life and from man eating of it.
Chapter 4
4:1  I have gotten a man from the Lord  the Lord gives children;
4:3  Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord  the Lord receives gifts and offerings of men;
4:4  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.  And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering.  Abel brought gifts and offerings unto the Lord;  The Lord gave respect unto Abels offering.
4:5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect   The Lord did not respect, receive the offering of Cain;
4:6  And the Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wroth?  and why is thy countenance fallen?  And God said/spake;  asking questions of which He already knows the answers;  and God knew that He was angry and upset
4:9  And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?   And God said/saying; God asks a questions to which He knows the answer, omniscient;
4:10  And He said, What hast thou done?  the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.  And God said/spake; God asked a question to which He already knows the answer.  God hears the blood crying out to Him from the earth; blood shed is God's life in the blood crying back to Him Who gave life.
4:11  And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.  God curses Cain for shedding his brother's blood.
4:12  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.  God's continued curse - cruses the ground he sows and seeks food; makes him a stranger and castaway in all the earth.
4:13  And Cain said unto the Lord - man speaks to God to be heard;
4:14  Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid;   Cain recognized the act of God that has driven him away from family and his living;  and driving him away from the Presence of God.
4:15  And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.  And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.  Even here we see God's mercy for fallen man.  And God said/spake;  God puts mark on Cain to preserve him from other men takinn vengeance;  'Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord; I shall recompence.'
4:16   And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.  when men are driven out from the presence of the Lord;
4:25  And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth:  For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.  God gives mercy, blessings and children;  can replace the loss and hurt of lost loved ones;
4:26  then began men to call upon the Name of the Lord  the Name of the Lord; and God hears when men call upon Him;
Chapter 5
5:1  This is the book of the generations of Adam.  In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;  God creates man; creates him in His Own likeness;  God made man;
5:2  Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.  God creates man and woman (2);  God blesses His creation, (what is in this blessing for man?)  God calls them Adam,  
5:22  And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah  God walks with men and men walk with God;
5:24  And Enoch walked with God;  and he was not; for God took him.  God walks with men, and allows them to walk with Him;  God took him, God receives the saints unto Himself;
5:29  because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.  God cursed the land because of Adam's sin;  God can bless and/or curse;
Chapter 6
6:3  And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.  And God said/spoke;  God separates Himself from flesh and God limits their days upon the earth;;
6:5  And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  God sees the actions of man, the intents of man and the thoughts of man.  God knows whether good or evil.
6:6  And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.  God repents of creating man and placing them on the earth, for it ruined His perfect creation.  God made man on the earth;  God's heart was grieved for this.
6:7  And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them.   And God said/spoke; I will's of God to destroy everything;  God created all things; God repented that He had made man to begin with.
6:8  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.  God's grace to sinful man/men;  God sees and looks upon men to bestow grace;  God finds men;
6:9  and Noah walked with God   God walks with men, if they walk with Him;  'Can two walk together unless they be agreed?'
6:11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  God beholds and sees the actions of men, He saw that it was evil, and filled with violence of men.
6:12  and God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth.  God looked and saw the evil of men;  God had established His right way and men forsook that way; holy vs. unholy; righteous vs. unrighteous; God's way vs. man's way;
6:13  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me;  for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.  And God said/spoke;  God sees the ways of men before His throne, knowing past, present and future;  He saw the violence an devil of men; the I will's of God is that He will destroy His creation;
6:14 - 16  God speaks to Noah and gives specific instructions on building the ark;
6:17  and, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven:  and every thing that is in the earth shall die.  the I will's of God to bring flood waters upon all the earth and destroy all flesh and animals; all breath given from God taken from His creation;  Death is certain;
