5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-13-2024 November 13, 2024 Be Encouraged and KEEP PRAYING It is sometimes difficult to discern the timing represented in dreams; at times, they actually have dual timings — when they’re given and later on. Several significant dreams were given to friends of ours leading up to the 2020 Elections, some of which were obviously for then, and others were for now. Here are two of those dreams – which are related to one another – given to our friend Gina Gholston: ****************** “In a dream given on July 17, 2020, I saw Dutch Sheets running up a very high hill, a small mountain. He was running like a football wide receiver, with his arms stretched out to catch a football that had been thrown to him. The football had been thrown beyond where Dutch was in order to ‘lead’ him ahead, and also so he could catch the pass while continuing to run. “Dutch was running very fast up this hillside to catch the pass. I somehow knew in the dream that the one throwing the football was Thomas Paine, doing so from another hillside. “(Thomas Paine was an author in the days of America’s founding. He wrote a 47-page pamphlet titled Common Sense, which was very influential in helping persuade the colonists of their need for independence from Britain, and in rallying support for the approval of the Declaration of Independence.) “Though Dutch was running up the hillside to catch the football thrown to him from Paine, he had made it to the top of this very high hill before he caught it. Once he caught the football, Dutch turned to look at Thomas Paine on the other hillside, then to his right, where a city was located just up the valley, between these two hillsides. Beyond the city was a river that ran down into the city. Dutch knew the football contained something that was to be released into the city. He was to place it in the river, where it would float downstream, and at the exact right time, its contents would be released into the city. “So, Dutch made his way to the headwaters of that river and placed the football into it. Written in silver letters on the football was the word ‘Triumph.’ As it moved down the river, Dutch was looking toward the city, and I realized it was actually Washington, DC. “That was the end of the dream.” Here is the second dream: “November 11, 2020, I dreamed that I was walking beside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Looking to my right, I saw something floating down a river. I watched as it came closer to where I was, and suddenly, it hit a rock with such force that something went airborne from it. The object flew over my head and landed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I walked over to see what it was, and saw that it was an old, silver skeleton key. Written on the key was the word ‘Triumph.’ “As I stood looking at it, the key lit up. When it did, my cell phone notified me that I had received a text message. The text read, ‘I Am NOT late!’ Then, suddenly, there was a brilliant light that engulfed everything, and the whole scene changed. “I found myself standing on the steps of the US Capitol with a large group of people. I looked down beside me, and on the steps was the same silver key that had come from the river. Underneath the key was a piece of paper, the original copy of an essay I had written thirty-four years ago (1986)! “(A side note: In my junior year of high school, I wrote an essay, which my English teacher entered in a contest run by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority). Their theme was ‘When Electricity Came to Rural America.’ I interviewed my Grandpa, who was born in 1906, who told me all about the difference having electricity had made for him, his family, and our nation. For my essay, I told his story, which was selected as a winner in the contest. The prize was an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C.) “Back to the Dream: The silver ‘Triumph’ key was laying on top of that essay, written in 1986. I picked up the essay and read it, crying happy tears as I reminisced. Then it started to snow, and there was a very tangible peace that blanketed the atmosphere - like walking outside on a brightly lit snowy night. “Then suddenly, the key lit up again, and my phone alerted me that I had received another text. The text read the same as the first one, but this time in all capital letters, ‘I AM NOT LATE!’ “When I awakened from the dream, my first thought was, ‘Of course! It was a key inside the football!!! A key to unlock the “Triumph” God has declared over our nation!’” *************** The primary meanings of the dreams are obvious. God is not late, and He will cause us to triumph. The changes President Trump will help create were not able to begin in 2020, as we had expected. In God’s wisdom, He waited until now, after further exposing the Left, and further preparing Trump and others – both those on his team and in other positions. Other symbolic meanings in the dream are: Paine represents America’s founding, and perhaps even the “common sense” leadership of Trump; the Lincoln Memorial pictures liberty or freedom. (In 1986, when Gina wrote her paper, the Statue of Liberty reopened during “Liberty Weekend,” July 4-7. Also that year, Trump was one of several individuals honored with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.) The river would be the Potomac, known as the “Nation’s River.” The key represents the authority Christ gave the church (Isaiah 22:22; Matthew 16:18-19), with which to carry out His will. The large crowd on the Capitol steps where the “Triumph” key showed up again, and the second text came through reading, “I AM NOT LATE!” may just be Trump’s second inauguration! I wanted to encourage you today with these dreams. I also remind you once again to persevere in prayer for Trump as he chooses the team with which he will work, for the incredibly important decisions being made by the House and Senate, and for the continuing vote counts. Let’s not let up in our praying. Pray with me: Father, we thank You for these two dreams. They remind us of Your perfect timing. You are the Eternal One, the Creator of time, yet You are not controlled by it. For You, a day is as 1000 years, and 1000 years as a day (2 Peter 3:8). As the I AM, You see the past, present, and future all at once and declare the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). They also remind us that You always win. Also, You cause us to always triumph in Christ when we honor and obey You (2 Corinthians 2:14). We thank You for what has occurred in these elections, even while realizing they are not an end in themselves. They’re simply part of what You are doing to restore America to Your plans and purposes. This is always the goal as we pray for our nation. At this strategic time, we ask that Your wisdom be given to our government leaders in the House and Senate, as well as to Trump and his transition team. We ask that You strategically guide him, and that he does not make ANY mistakes in choosing appointments to various positions. We also ask for Your protective hand to stop any and all election interference as the votes continue to be counted. And we ask for Your overriding hand to rule in the election of the Senate Majority Leader. And finally, we pray for Your hand of protection over our government leaders, their families, and staff members. In Jesus’ name, amen. Our decree: We declare that God is never late. Never..! ************************ You can find out more about Gina at GinaGholstonMinistries.org. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/october-22-2024 October 22, 2024 INTRODUCTION I want to begin today’s post by telling you about an incredible tool to help undecided voters make up their minds, and motivate them to vote. It is the Million Voices Candidate Fact Sheet. John Graves, who leads this effort, tells us: “Research proves a nonpartisan fact-sheet is the #1 factor to motivate undecided, persuadable, swing voters to go and vote. We have only a few days left for people to share nonpartisan information about candidates. This info is crucial for persuadable voters.” Their website, MillionVoices.org is easily navigated. Trust me - if I can do it, it’s easy! They have a short video explaining how to use the guides, which can also be downloaded. From the presidential race, to governor races, to congressional races, you can easily learn where candidates stand on important issues without having to read tons of information. You can even find out if candidates have changed their positions in the last few months. In other words, you’ll be able to tell what has been their long-term position. This is a tremendous tool to use and share with others. Check it out. For today’s post, I feel it would be a great encouragement for all of us to be reminded of the “America shall be saved” dream. I first heard the phrase spoken several years ago by Reinhart Bonnke, who said the Lord spoke this very clearly to him. Then, a few years later, the Lord gave this dream to Gina Gholston. Here are Gina’s comments regarding this word, with a few more thoughts added. Be encouraged, and keep the faith. Our title is: Ready, Set, Go The Ekklesia is being called to attention and to their post to release prophetic proclamations that will reconnect this nation with God’s heart and desires. His verdict for America has been determined, and He has remembered His promises. This is not the time for intimidation or retreat. As His governing body, the Ekklesia must stand steadfast with faith and confidence in the Lord, unshaken in our expectation and persuasion that He is faithful to complete the good work that He has begun in this nation. In 2018, I had a very significant dream, which was an announcement from heaven to reveal God’s verdict and His intentions for America. I had no idea at the time that God would use this dream in the prayer movement and beyond. Its message would give the Ekklesia hope and strategy for the future into which we were being ushered. Dutch has shared this dream several times, but no time was quite as powerful as its initial release at the end of the Turnaround Conference held at the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C., in February 2018. This was just two weeks after I had the dream. That conference was actually incorporated into the dream. The gathering consisted of national and international intercessors who had united for the sole purpose of making an appeal to heaven on behalf of the United States of America. As the intercessors ascended in worship, they accessed the presence of God to hear; then they effectively declared His intentions. God’s response to their fervent appeal was to reveal His determined verdict: America shall be saved. In the dream, a courier angel emerged from that gathering carrying a large scroll, which contained God’s response. The angel proceeded to the U.S. Capitol building and declared those words before a large crowd, releasing the glory of God to impact the nation with transformation and reformation. “America shall be saved!” It’s not a cute catchphrase; it is a verdict that was determined by God Himself, and it is a promise that will be fulfilled by the God who made it. We must know and be convinced of this as we pray for our nation. We may not know the “hows” and the “whens,” but we must believe this is the will of God for America, which enables us to pray and decree effectively. If we pray from a place of doubt or uncertainty concerning His will, we are not aligning ourselves in agreement with Him, causing us to pray from a wrong perspective and in unbelief. We must pray from the perspective of the determined will of God. Many prayer assignments have been carried out, and many faith declarations have been made since the Lord revealed His verdict through that dream. Our faith agreement has continued, and we press forward with undaunted conviction that what God has promised, He will do. Much has been accomplished, but we’re not finished. We must not relinquish our persistent push in prayer and our consistency in intercession. Heaven is responding to our obedience. God remembers His promises, and not one word or assignment will return to Him without results. He speaks with the intent to perform! Another Encouraging Word Last year, as I was preparing to speak at a conference gathering, I looked up on the wall of my hotel room and noticed a framed black and white photo of a clock tower. The tower resembled the shape of an arrow pointing upward. As I looked at the photo, I was suddenly caught up in the Spirit, and saw a bolt of lightning come out of the sky and strike the clock tower. Immediately, I heard the Lord say to me, “It’s a striking time!” I was then reminded of a GH15 from 2021 about a dream I had in which the word “strike” was emphasized. In that post, Dutch stated, “The strike represents successful intercession! The Hebrew word for intercession is paga.(1) Among other things, it means to strike a target. It is used this way in Job 36:32, ‘He covers His hand with the lightning, and commands it to strike the target.’” After re-reading Dutch’s post, the Lord spoke through the “Ready, Set, Go” command given to runners. He said, “The time has come. I am igniting the torch. My runners who have responded to My leading and positioning are being ‘set’ to run with the fire. Listen for the command of the ‘go,’ and do not hesitate to run. “My runners will be divinely assisted to run with endurance as they carry and release the flames of revival and glory. I am igniting My saturated bundles that are positioned throughout the land. They will run and not grow weary. I am ready to ignite the nation with the fire of My glory. “Your labor has not been in vain. You have taken ground! It has been a little at a time, but you have taken ground. In the previous season, I have been uncapping wells and releasing the flammable waters of My Spirit. Those waters have now spread throughout the nation. Now, I have ignited you to ignite the land. Don’t hold back! I have infused you with fire; run with it! I Am releasing you as My fiery arrows, and you are right on point! In the days to come, I will strategically direct and release you into designated targets, and upon impact, the ignition of My glory will be undeniable. These are the days when the fierceness of My might will be revealed.” Striking time has come! We can’t stop now. We must not succumb to intimidation or weariness in our “well-doing” (Galatians 6:9). We must remember and be fully persuaded of what God has said. We must release our declarations with confidence that they are right on point, and that they will hit the target to release the unveiling of His intended purposes. America shall be saved! This is our promise, and it is our expectation, for the Lord has determined it to be so! Pray with me: Father, we know and believe Your verdict for America: She shall be saved. That salvation will come as a result of an awakening bringing an awareness of You. As Your Ekklesia, we rise to attention and release our voice in agreement with You, declaring Your verdict and prophetic proclamations. And we do so with the assurance that our obedient intercession is causing movement, and that Your words will strike the target to accomplish that for which You send them. We will not shrink back in intimidation or fear. We stand securely and confidently, with undaunted faith in You. We are unshaken in our expectation and persuasion that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in this nation. We pray this in Jesus’ name and for the greatest harvest in history. Amen! Our decree: We decree that the striking time has come! Our prayers are hitting the mark, and America shall be saved! This is our promise and expectation, for the Lord has determined it to be so! ******************************* Today’s post was contributed by Gina Gholston.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/september-23-2024 September 23, 2024 As believers, we know that God desires to use us as His representatives, being conduits of His power and love. As we go about our daily lives, we should always be aware of this. Today, our friend Gina Gholston shares about this concept, challenging us to represent Christ each day. She mentions the Healing Summit at The Oasis in Middletown, Ohio, several weeks back. We have decided to do another one in a few weeks, on October 25. Many testimonies of healing have come in, both from individuals present there in Middletown, and as importantly, from churches that joined with us online that night. It must be emphasized that our purpose is not to build the ministries of those participating in these healing services. It is to come into agreement with heaven’s plan, unlocking a new wave of signs and wonders in the earth that will not only bless the hurting, but will point millions of people to Jesus. Although we have received many wonderful testimonies of healing, we know the level of power and anointing must increase. We believe the previous meeting was a wonderful beginning, but we also believe a much deeper well of miracles is to be opened. And we are intent on seeing this. Churches will join in again, agreeing for this. You can register to attend starting today, and I’m sure it will fill up quickly. All details can be found at OasisWired.org. Here is what Gina says about the coming surge of God’s power. Her title is: How to Impact the World A few weeks ago, Oasis Church in Middletown, Ohio, hosted the Healing Summit. People from every state and even different nations came together in faith to experience the healing power of Jesus, and that’s exactly what transpired. Testimonies have been flowing in from thousands who experienced healing, deliverance, and salvation. Recently, the Lord showed me that the Healing Summit was more than a healing service. The Healing Summit wasn’t just about Oasis Church. He said to me, “It was the launch of a movement.” I believe it is not a “new thing,” but the restoration of Christ’s desire for His church. He is restoring His Ekklesia, His governing body, to fully operate in His power and authority. There is an awakening of our spiritual inheritance that has begun to stir in the hearts of God’s people. Many are recognizing the power deficit we have tolerated in past years, and are now determined to regain what has been lost. We will no longer be content to just hear stories and testimonies of what God did in past generations. We know He is not done and are pressing in to experience a touch from Him ourselves, and shine with His glory and power. There was a wave of healing power that was released at the Healing Summit, and what was launched that night will continue to grow with an even greater intensity. I believe God is launching another great move of His Spirit. As members of Christ’s body, we must be aware of all God has made available to us. We must be diligent to know the Scriptures and remain steadfast in our focus and obedience to Him. We must represent Christ and exhibit a true reflection of His likeness to the world. Some would argue that healing, miracles, and the gifts of Holy Spirit are not operational today. They say we no longer need a demonstration of the power of God, but nothing could be further from the truth. We need the Word of God being taught accompanied with the power and conviction of Holy Spirit if we are to see America saved and our world changed. God’s healing and miracle gifts spark an awakening and awareness of Jesus that can come no other way. By seeing, many will believe! Not one Christian would be a believer today if it were not for the power of Holy Spirit. Our very salvation stems from the power and ability God demonstrated in raising Jesus from the dead. The Holy Bible we preach from and use as the foundation of our beliefs is filled with the records of miracles, signs, and wonders that occurred through people being used and anointed by Holy Spirit. Evidence of the reality of Jesus has provoked change and turned the hearts of great skeptics all throughout history. Imagine the Bible with no demonstration of God’s glory—no record of the wonder-working power of God, no record of the Red Sea parted, of David killing the giant, or of Daniel being delivered in the lions’ den. Imagine having no record of Jesus opening blind eyes or Lazarus being raised from the dead. And most importantly, of Jesus Himself dying on the Cross and on the third day, being raised from the dead. Without the demonstrations of the glory of God, there is no awareness of God, and no hope! But the Bible IS filled with these examples because Jehovah is the God of power and might, and has given us His Spirit who enables us to release His power in and through our lives. Jesus gave that power to His Ekklesia with the promise that those who believe in Him would do the works He did, and even greater (John 14:12). This power and gifts of Holy Spirit weren’t given as a momentary gift or just for those in the early church. Read the book of Acts. There you will see many examples of God’s power which was for then, and for now. A lack of knowledge of that power and its availability to the church - the Ekklesia - has caused many to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of a godless culture. Be aware: a movement has begun. There is a company of enlightened heirs who desire to be conduits of Holy Spirit. Awareness of our spiritual inheritance IS being awakened, and there is a reigniting of an uncompromised pursuit of its full activation. We are tired of living in unnecessary spiritual poverty. We desire to deepen our resolve and avail ourselves completely to the Lord to see His power fully released, flowing with an even greater intensity. With honor and in the fear of the Lord, we are determined to receive all that Holy Spirit has made available, and we will experience the fullness of God’s desires. We will see the billion-soul harvest come in. We will see bodies healed, minds delivered, and lives transformed by the love and power of God. We will experience and operate in His supernatural wisdom and imparted authority. We will see America saved! This is our time to carry the mantle, and we will allow the power and reality of Jesus to flow out from us, impacting the world. Pray with me: Father, when we accept Jesus as Savior, we become Your heirs! We have an inheritance that is rich and powerful. Provoke within us a deeper revelation of who You are and who we are in You, so we may be conduits of Your power. Stretch forth Your hand through us, Jesus, with miracles, signs, and wonders, providing an undeniable evidence of Your love and power. We ask that Holy Spirit would come upon the unbeliever with fervency and clarity so they can see and encounter You. We cry out, “Show us Your glory, Lord!” Spearhead another sweeping move of Your Spirit throughout our nation and the nations of the world. Reap the harvest You desire, we pray. In the name of Jesus, Amen! Our decree: We declare that God’s redemptive movement has begun. We will be conduits of His desires and plans. **************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video.
