PRAYER BLOG - DECEMBER 28

Greetings,

Jeremiah 4:19 - 22
 "My bowels, My bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.  Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is spoiled:  suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.   . . for My people is foolish, they have not known Me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding:  they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."

END OF THE YEAR.   
It is the close of the year, and time to prepare for ending this year and beginning the new year.   Our focus is to see wherein our past year has been in joy and sorrows.  And to wait upon the Lord to go through the new year in strength and power in Him and through His Presence.   There are two things that I take away from 2018 and that I foretell you for the new year.
1.  2018 has increased and heightened the judgements of God
--My bowels; pained in my heart; for I hear the trumpet warning of the destruction upon destruction to come;  When? suddenly and in a moment;   why?   for My people, the church, have not known Me, they have no understanding;    Our nation is wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.


My Bowels; My heart; My pain; My ears what they hear - Why these phrases?  Because of what has transpired in recent years, but much more specifically this year.   These phrases in these verse is a mirror of our current plight at the close of this year.   Over the last decade God has been teaching me and revealing to me His nature in judgement throughout the bible and throughout history.   Those lessons of God's hand going out against a nation, against His people reveals what we see and is happening now.   Somewhere in the middle of the year, God revealed and spoke to me about the judgements, the remedial judgements of what was happening and to identify them.  Over the years I have shared these prayer concerns with you that have followed along and prayed with me and for me.  But this year, about June I believe, God showed me that we had escalated in frequency of these judgements and gone above the norm and had entered into EPIDEMICS.  I have shared the 6 epidemics with you on the prayer blog consistently.   And what do these reveal and show?   Destruction upon destruction.   so how much more is the sorrow when you share it with other prayer and church leaders and they don't see it, or refuse to do anything about it.

I believe that what the Lord has taught me in the means of praying and seeing these things is that God 'looks for a man' to stand in the gap among these disasters.   Therefore I have employed for my own prayer times as well as seeking others to join me in prayer against these epidemic.  I believe the only thing that will end these epidemics is a spirit of prevailing prayer.   A prayer so bent on seeing God's glory and so urgent because life and death is upon all our nation that we must prevail.   And I hold firmly in the promise of Luke, where Christ said, 'if two of you agree as touching anything here on earth, it shall be done for you in heaven.'    Uniting together to see the 'destruction upon destruction' is overwhelming and it must be engaged in prevailing prayer.

Now the cause of these epidemics, is due directly to our nations choice to forsake and forget God.  This has entered into the church as well.  Thus, the verses here that condemns that 'For My people are foolish and do not know Me'.  His people, yes, in this reference it is Israel, or Judah; but today it is His church, His bride.  They do not read the Word of God, nor do they know the God of the Word.  Thus evil is doubled in our day, in these last decades and we are steam rolling to destruction.   And there is almost NONE in the church leadership that I see that is urgent or fervent or alarmed at what is happening.

We must have an agreement that sees the 'handwriting on the wall' and seek to prevail while there is still time.   I believe soon our time will be up; yea, even maybe next year.   Especially, considering how severe the epidemics are and how much refusal there is to see God's glory.   The church must return to holiness;  be broken and contrite.   Only when the church gets to where they need to be, shall it overflow into the streets, homes and society.   One cannot expect society to change, if the church is still powerless, Presence-less and passionate-less.   This is one of the great needs for revival in our day.



2.   2019   will see a continued increase and greater presence of evil upon the church.  
With the rise in the epidemics, and the time of Satan here on earth coming to a close, he will work more than ever against the church.   The rest of the world has seen it and gone through it, we have not.  Yet, our time is coming that Christians will be more hated, more reviled and the church under more scrutiny.  I fear we are not ready for such a time.  But it will be a purging of the body of Christ, like never before.  

If you missed my earlier posts over the last month, misionary groups are forecasting that they will complete within 10 - 15years, reaching every people groups and language with the Gospel.   It is astounding to consider that in our life time this is going to happen.  But this also means at the end of those 10 years, that the next stage of prophecy will be set into motion.  And in that stage the church will not be 'raptured' out but will go through tribulation and great tribulation.   The witness to the world will be complete, then the wrath of God shall be unleashed as written in the 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 vials poured out on the earth.   But I also believe that perhaps before the close of this next 10 years, the world revival will come and usher as some have prophesied 1 billion souls into the kingdom.  And almost always there is a great revival then a great conflict.  A great conflict that will claim billions of souls as well.   HOw it all works out only the Lord knows.  But this is where we are as we enter the new year.   

whatever your resolve let it be this, 'to be all for the Lord'.   Use these days and this next year in great preparation of knowing God, more in prayer, and more intentional in witnessing.     
blessed new year to you 


EPIDEMICS:

somewhere along this year, God spoke and revealed to this poor sinner, that all the wrath, judgements, remedial judgements and His anger that was hot against our nation and against the church was rising and escalating.   The severity was rising so fast over these last years, that I could not keep up with most of it.  Until, I started to match in Scripture with the judgements on Israel and Judah and the other heathen nations.   Then I was able to categorize them into groups.   Out of that came the 6 levels of judgements.   But due to the consistency and severity the Lord revealed that it was no longer simple judgements once a month or every other month, but it was weekly, yea, daily.   And that it was no longer just simply judgements or remedial judgements, but that God's anger was so hot, it had escalated into EPIDEMICS.

At this revelation, the urgency, fervency took over of just how far we have fallen, and how much God was doing against us.   Reaching out to church and prayer leaders, is simply was not received.  It is left to the remnant that do see and do understand to know our place for such a time as this.  It is to wage the spiritaul warfare.  It is to recognzie Satan's devices, schemes and ploys and defeat him. 
What's at stake?  It is to prevail for our Lord.   Whole families, future, eterntiy hangs in the balances for so many and this is the warfare we are called to wage.    Let us be found faithful as we go into the new year ready to see God's hand grant us the desires of our heart. 

As I shared with the churches yesterday and prayed in my time, whatever has been left undone for 2018, whatever has been left unanswered, let us carry it into 2019 and more fierce about seeing it accomplished done.   Lost souls, saved;  miracles, mercies, power bestowed, and definitely more holy in our personal walk, and for the church.  

Consider the destruction upon destruction:
--drugs overdose deaths, probably for 2018 back down to around 60,000;
--alcohol related deaths - 80,000 - 90,000;
--homicides - over 20,000
--suicides - over 50,000

Almost a 1/4 of a million deaths through these 4 means of destruction.   Where do we begin?  right here.   Consider the work of Satan on the lives, the minds and hearts and the homes and streets and see wherein his devices are found.   Herein is our spiritual warfare to be waged.

THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - I KINGS

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.'

18:21     How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him    God is God and to be followed;
18:22    I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord    God's prophet, Elijah that remains;
18:24     I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God that answereth by fire, let Him be God.    God answers when His servants call;   God is God;   God's Name to be called upon;
18:30    and he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.     God's altar repaired and offered upon;

20:35     And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee     God's prophets called and sent to Ahab;  And God said/spoke;
20:36    Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee.  And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him    God's Word to be obeyd;  God's word not obeyed and he was destroyed by the lion;   God's Word comes to pass;  Omniscient;  Omnipresent;
20:42     And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.    And God said/spoke;   God had appointed him to destruction;  God appoints Ahab and Israel to destruction for his folly;

PRAYER BLOG - DECEMBER 21

Greetings,

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!  I am sure I will not write again till after Christmas and toward the end of the year.   So let me express prayers and blessings upon you that read, pray, follow and support me.   May your cup be full and overflowing with joy, peace and love of our Lord.

"But the end of all things is at hand:  be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."  I Peter 4:7

What a two fold message is here!  Not only the end of the year is upon us, but as I have shared, a ending of Biblical fulfillment is upon us.   Translators and missionary groups are reporting that at present course, the Gospel can reach the entire world, people groups and languages in the next 10 - 15 years.  The Lord allowing for us to live that long, we can see an 'end of the age' moment.   Thus hurling us into the last stage of prophecy.  If knowing this doesn't press ones soul to 'get ready' for the end  I don't know what will.   It s time to finish well, and understand that 2018 the end of all things is at hand.

Now, the instruction of course, mirrors what Jesus told Peter, James and John in the garden, 'watch and pray.'   Here we have this same message, "be sober, and watch unto prayer'. 
--Be sober - you can't be physically sober, ingesting alcohol or drugs;  it affects perception, thought and response;   you  can't be spiritually sober, ingesting foolishness, evil and worldliness; it affects mind, heart and soul.   Be sober of what is going on, don't be disillusioned by man's ways;  man has taught humanism so much that it is the error of the church today.   Self, ease, worldly all of which dilutes soberness of God's will and way.
--Watch unto prayer - Oh, if we knew what was at stake, how quickly we would give ourselves to watch and pray.  To know our place is to be before the Lord.  so much at risk, so much at stake, great is the need of this hour.  The need of souls eternity, the need of deliverance for the addict, the need for the church to be Spirit filled and empowered by His Holy Ghost.   Great is the need for the Lord.   For if the Lord does not build the house, they labour in vain.

The end of the year is coming, the end of the age is coming;  where are you in relationship to the Lord.   Where are you in your walk with the Lord?   What a great testimony if here at the end of this year you are able to say, 'I've never been stronger and closer to the Lord."   Ah, but how few I find like this.   Most that I hear and know are sitting idle, wanting to be strong, be faithful, yet, in constant failures and fallings.  Unable to rise above and do that which their convictions lead them to do.  Why?  They refuse to be sober, to watch unto prayer.

I believe that this has a key element of learning for the Christian.  To watch, is a lost discipline before the Lord.   While watching, one observes, one meditates, one hears from the Lord, one gives time and place to that which is truly important and eternal and of priority to the Lord.   The mad rush, the busyness, the fervor of agendas and schedules eradicates time alone with God.  Thus the weakness of the soul and the spirit in the things of God.  We do not know the value of an hour with the Lord in the American church.

We don't know it in the worship services, we don't know it in the secret closet.   Too much of 'its about me', which grieves the Holy Spirit.   Out of the Word, out of prayer and silent before a lost world about Christ, salvation and eternity; these are the provocation of the church before the Lord.  These must be changed and corrected, as the end of the year comes, and the New year begins.   Look unto the Lord, adore and gaze upon Him;  see Him, high and lifted up;  give place and time to Him Who is worthy.

Realize now, what is at stake at the end of this year, at the end of the age.   Ge ready, for the end is here.  And we must all give an answer to the Lord for the things done, not done;  give an answer for the good, for the evil; give an answer for everything done and not done in the body, mind, heart and life.   Let us finish well and be right as He is right.        



EPIDEMICS:

1.  Drugs/Alcohol - impact, legislation in the farm bill passed and signed to legalize HEMP;  continues to claw away at legalizing all use of drugs, this is where we are headed, same as prohibition.    Deaths from all these sins are over 100,000 yearly; and the affects are too numerous to understand

2.  Cancer - several great testimonies and answered prayers;  but also more names added, upwards towards 2 dozen names;

3.  Great Evil - the rise of murder-suicides;  street killings;  Praise God that as Christmas break comes for schools, we can rejoice in the minimal cases of school shootings/stabbings over the last 4 months;   pray toward the New year;  

4.  LGBT - continued subversion of children and next generation into this sin;  Larger numbers bodies, minds and souls affected, Increasing to high percentage of majority.  Only a remnant spared.

5.  Children - more children killed by family, several incidents on the rise with this;  Yemen impact of famine/war;  

6.  Natural Disasters - 7.4 in Russia;  this is the 3rd 7.0 in this month;  4 within the last 3 weeks;  expecting one more before close of the year;   this have been in remote areas, so minimal loss of life and impact;   Flooding; drought in Alaska; 

The 3 things that I am watching to see is the economy; war; and pestilence.
Economy - dow jones has bottomed out after record setting over the last year;   this was pretty much expected, but wait to see of further ramifications for utter collapse.   the hiccups of it rising and falling is not the issue, it is the utter collapse of stability in ecnomies and markets world wide.   They are all built on the backs of each other, one falls, collapse of the whole.

War - always interested to see where, when and how this explodes;  China/US tensions over waters in Pacific, Taiwan and islands;   Syria is now an open issue with Trump pulling troops out.  No checks or balances for Iran;  North Korea issues coming in the new year if they fail to comply.

Pestilence - Ebola outbreak in Democratic Congo;  500 infected, 300 dead;   rising;  flu, and other issues to watch in 2019;



UPDATES:

--sermons - Fox's Hollow, 12/16 - 'What Its all About" - spiritual warfare for the soul and eternity and why Christ coming is so relevant to us;   Most important message from my heart and for our prayer times.   I know its recorded sideways, but the content is the improtance;

Until,
Dan

PRAYER BLOG - DECEMBER 13

Greetings,
"Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God:  and the Lord do that which seemeth Him good."   II Samuel 10:12

It is one of the great verses in the Bible!   Brought dear to the heart upon reading Foxe's Book of Martyrs with the account of Dr. Ridley and Bishop Latimer when they was burned at the stake for their faithfulness to preach and teach and stand for the Word of God among those heretics, priests of the Catholic church.    And upon being burned at the stake, when the fire was laid at Ridley's feet, Latimer looked upon him and encouraged him with this verse, "'PLAY THE MAN' will have a new body in the morning":.   Ah! such strength in the face of evil, of death, of this unjustice;  all to know that God Who holds our very breath, holds our lives and soul also.   ah! how this should quicken the soul and revolve of any of God's people.   Forever, I pray, will the Lord allow for this account to be burned into my memory and heart.   Forever to be remembered to 'Play the man for my Lord; for He will do what He seemeth good'.    And what sayest thou of thyself?


As we approach the end of the year, 19 days, 'have you played the man for your Lord?'  will you?   Everything is coming to a head in glorious fashion for our Lord' kingdom.   Our time is quickly hastening on.   Much confession of wasted time, energy and resources throughout this past year; but just as much as rejoicing what God has done, begun and completing.   I praise God for all those that have testified that they have read their bibles through, some several times through.  Praise God for those that have completed for the first time.   What joy I get to see the joy in their life of those that finished.    How much more for those that have testified of answered prayers, these are numerous.  There is much to consider of what the Lord has done and is doing in us and through us.   but how much more for what He wants to do through the soul that says, 'Play the man for the Lord'.   Are you there?

And there is much in these remaining weeks and days of this year and that which is to come in the New year for us to 'play the man for our Lord'.  The devil is as busy, having laid the groundwork for decades, in indulgences, in availability, in opportunites, he is seizing souls left and right.  Many of them are very own.   How many parents are crying out for their childrens souls?  How many grandparents crying out for their grandchildren?   How many spouses? sibilings, friends, church memebers?   Oh, brethren, it is not a time to grow weary in well doing;  but PLAY THE MAN!  do you not know that their souls are in eternal jeopardy?  Yes, I believe you do;  but understand that the majority in the church does not realize this truth.

Too many involved in the Christmas gala, entertainment, selfish times, will lose sight that while their eyes are on the world, Satan is stealing, killing and destroying.   He does not take holidays.   PLAY THE MAN!  rise up and understand that, yes, we can enjoy the holiday, but don't lose time in the secret closet, in the Word, in the opportunities to witness.   Finish strong brethren!  Prepare to finish strong so you might start strong in the New year for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom here on earth.

PLAY THE MAN!   Be all that His Holy Spirit is leading you to be and do.   Surrender afresh, even this moment in His glorious raptured  Holiness.  Yield time to Him, that He has been drawing you for.   Be anointed and filled with His Holy Spirit that you may walk in the power of His great name and do great exploits for our mighty Lord and King.   Keep looking unto Jesus and find peace with Him.   Everythings at stake; future, souls, freedom, blessings.   And all can be taken away in a moment.   that day is soon approaching, so while we have today, 'PLAY THE MAN'.
