https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-21-2025 April 21, 2025 INTRODUCTION As we move into the great worldwide revival, which is increasing in strength and momentum, the Holy Spirit gave my brother, Tim Sheets, a strong word about His river of glory. As always, you will find it very encouraging. The title is: THE RIVER OF GOD’S GLORY Tim: Four years ago, during a time of incredible prophetic insights and revelations, I received several visions and words I have been faithfully praying about. I believe their time has now come and will help define the Ekklesia’s current season. Vision 1 - Fire Words In the first vision, I saw a vast army of angel warriors. Each angel was carrying a bronze bow, and lines of them stretched in all directions. They were moving away from a huge warehouse, and I knew they had been inside. The sign on the warehouse read “Arsenal: Fire Word Decrees.” I then saw the angels raise their bronze bows in unison and release flaming arrows. Each arrow tip was ablaze, and the angels were firing them as quickly as possible. The sky was filled with these arrows. They were targeted at enemy positions, which the Lord allowed me to see. When the arrows hit the target, they exploded into larger flames, like fireballs. I was then given an aerial view and saw the barrage of arrows devastating the positions of the Lord’s enemies. I heard Holy Spirit shout, “Behold the ‘fire words’ of the King’s Ekklesia! Empty the arsenals, shoot at the strongholds, and hell’s princes will fall.” At this point in the vision, I declared, “It’s time for the move of God that will destroy the enemy’s strongholds. It’s time for the fire word decrees, stored up for appointed times, to be loosed.” I believe this vision is now in its moment. The Holy Spirit and His angel armies are beginning to empty the prayer arsenals that have been filled with the “fire word decrees” of the Ekklesia. Holy Spirit stored these decrees for their appointed time, as described in Revelation 5:8: golden bowls in heaven, filled with the prayers and decrees of the saints. These “word seeds” have now grown and matured, and angels are assisting in bringing them to pass. Continuation Several days later, I received a continuation of this vision. I was shown an aerial view of Ekklesia hubs throughout the world. As I watched, the roofs of each hub turned into a huge mouth! Holy Spirit declared that they were going to be a mouth in their region, decreeing the words of King Jesus. As the vision unfolded, I saw a crystal-clear, pure river flowing through the heart of each hub. It continued from there outward, flowing into the surrounding territories. At times, the river would branch off, forming new flows or streams. This “river system” was all connected, flowing through all the hubs in one continuous, unbroken flow. In other words, each Ekklesia hub carried the same river, and I knew this was a picture of “the river of God” flowing from God’s throne onto the earth. (See Ezekiel 47:1-12; John 7:37-38; Revelation 22:1-2) I then saw angels dressed in white with golden belts around their waists. Each hub had one angel hovering over it, holding a golden trumpet to his lips, sounding it loudly. They weren’t sounding forth musical notes or sounds, however, but words! The words they trumpeted read, “Everything lives where the river flows” (See Ezekiel 47:9). As the voice of God thunders across the nations through the mouths of His angels and Ekklesia, demonic princes that have ruled territories with their dark agenda will be uprooted. Nations will be saved, and evil agendas, along with those who implement them, will fall. I believe the supernatural river of God is beginning to flow on earth as never before. The greatest move of God is underway; Holy Spirit streams and rivers are rising. TIM: A Further Word While praying about this, Holy Spirit gave me the following word: To the Ekklesia of Christ the King: You will now advance into the most supernatural movement I have ever led. I am pouring out a fresh anointing, blending and synergizing that which I birthed in previous movements. These past movements will intersect with the Godhead’s current plans being activated in today’s great Reformation. Past anointings will merge and function together with today’s supernatural Kingdom, accomplishing My plans. The river of My Spirit has been rising as heaven’s rain has filled it, preparing for torrential flows throughout the earth. In this era, the river of God will flow through My Ekklesia hubs. Rushing, replenishing, and refreshing waters are flowing from Kingdom reservoirs, fed by Godhead rain and aquifers that will not run dry. Prepare to ride Spirit rivers. Kingdom Ekklesias will experience surges of the King’s great power. Heaven’s omnipotent King will reveal more of His power and glory in experiential ways. Regions, territories, and nations will revere His majesty, as the river of God now begins its flood stage flow through His heirs. Signs, wonders, miracles, healings, and deliverances will be seen as never before. You will see the strong arm of the Lord and the aggression of Heaven’s hosts, as they move on Kingdom assignments with My people. My remnant warriors will rise in great might, moving with Me. Demons will tremble, not My heirs. Know and be confident, Ekklesia, that great winds of heaven will blow upon you just as they did upon My first Ekklesia. Pentecost winds are stirring in the atmosphere. Mighty, historic winds are building and will blow upon the sons and daughters. The winds of Holy Spirit will come - one after the other, wave after wave - each one stronger than the previous. The winds will continue until full-blown power from Heaven, ordained for your time, is seen and experienced. They will build until their full effects are felt throughout the entire earth, affecting transformational changes. Wave after wave of Holy Spirit wind bands have begun; the outer bands are upon you. You will be carried forth, borne on Holy Spirit’s sustaining, prevailing, guiding, and refreshing winds. They are not destructive winds; they are winds of grace blowing across harvest fields, white unto harvest. They carry good news, the redemptive power of the King’s forgiveness. They are winds of great deliverance, blowing away hell’s bondage, confusion, addictions, sin, brokenness, fear, and hopelessness. Grace winds are clearing the minds of prodigals, lifting the demonic fog, and lighting the way back home. They are grace winds carrying angel hosts for the time of reaping. For the angel hosts, by the multiplied thousands, are riding Holy Spirit’s atmospheric river into your times. This is what I heard Holy Spirit say regarding the current season of Christ’s Ekklesia. Grace winds are blowing in the latter rains. The glory river is flowing and carrying the presence of Almighty God throughout the earth. We will steward this word, proclaiming and praying that the river will continue to rise and flow. ************ Dutch: Pray with me: Lord, we believe and decree Your Word. You have said You’re going to send the latter rains, greater than anything we’ve experienced. We declare the release of these harvest rains that will cause Your mighty river to rise and flow through the entire world. We declare that grace winds will accompany Your river. We decree: let Your river flow, and let Your river rise to its fullest stage. May the Ekklesias in our nation and around the world embrace the atmospheric river of Your Spirit. We decree that living water is springing up! Springs of Holy Spirit, are rising. We believe that the mighty river of God is going to fill the world with such strength that demons will tremble and strongholds will break. Release the rains of heaven as never before. Soak the earth with power for signs, wonders, and miracles. Release grace winds and bring prodigals home. Send the rain! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Our decree: We decree that the supernatural river of God is beginning to flow on earth as never before, and that everything lives where the river flows! *************************** Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim Sheets.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-18-2025 April 18, 2025 PASSION WEEK/GOOD FRIDAY: The Winner We will be taking Communion at the end of today’s post. God was well aware that the violence and pain of Calvary would be dreadful beyond description. Creation itself would hide its eyes (see Matthew 27:45), and the very foundations of the earth would shake (see Matthew 27:57). God’s heart would break, the angels would watch in shock and horror, and the Son of God Himself would cry out in anguish (see Matthew 27:46). But in history’s greatest irony, this violent death would also be love’s crowning act. The dying man on the Cross was also a seed. Millions of God’s kids were in Christ’s womb, waiting to be born. Until the Resurrection and Pentecost, His words in John 12:24 were not fully understood: “Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” Christ was the “grain of wheat”; we are the “much fruit.” Most people are confused about Christ’s words, “It is finished,” uttered by Him on the Cross. Hollywood’s typical depiction of Him, barely whispering with His last bit of strength, “It... is... finished” (John 19:30), is inaccurate. The producers, of course, see this statement as Christ announcing His death. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In the first place, those were not His last words spoken from the Cross; this was Christ’s next-to-last statement. His final words were, “Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit” (Luke 23:46). Also, the words, “It is finished,” actually are from one Greek word - and the word does NOT refer to His death! Christ was actually making an announcement, a proclamation. He did not barely breathe out the word in His final breath; He cried out with a loud voice (Mark 15:37)! The Greek word is tetelestai. Jesus was quoting from Psalm 22:31; three of His seven sayings on the Cross come from this Psalm. The Hebrew word used in the Psalm is asah. We don’t really know whether Jesus shouted the Hebrew or Greek word. Since Scripture uses both, it is fair to say that both words accurately describe what He was communicating. Asah, the Hebrew word in Psalm 22, means “to perform, accomplish, or fulfill” a goal.(1) It is also the Hebrew word for “create,” used often to describe different facets of the Genesis creation. With these definitions in mind, Jesus could have been announcing that He had accomplished His mission, performing all that was required of Him. Or, He could have been declaring the birth of “the new creation.” Or both! TETELESTAI The root of the Greek word Jesus used in John 19:30, teleo, means “to complete, perform, or accomplish;” another definition is “to finish a necessary process, with the results rolling over to the next level or phase of consummation.”(2) And still another meaning is “to pay.” This form of the word Jesus used, tetelestai, was stamped on the invoices of that day, meaning, “paid in full.”(3) And the tense of the word in the Greek language indicates both “a point in time that something was finished, completed, or paid, and also that it would continue to be complete!” In other words, “once and for all.” WOW! Putting the definitions of asah and tetelestai together, here is a summary of what Christ was declaring: “I have accomplished all that was necessary, for all time and eternity, to redeem the human race. I have paid the debt in full, consummating their redemption.” This decree was a New Testament version of the Genesis commands, “Let there be!” The Resurrection, three days later, was a foregone conclusion. God had already seen and declared it - that’s why He laughed at the powers of darkness when they declared Christ would not rule over them (Psalm 2:1-4). Hell has never intimidated Yahweh, nor made Him question His ability to do as He says. As far as God was concerned, Christ had risen before He even died! And also, as far as God was concerned, a glorious church, an Ekklesia that could fully reveal and represent the risen Lord was guaranteed. A governmental arm of God’s Kingdom on earth, one which the gates of hell could not prevail against, was inevitable. Yes, the maturing of this Ekklesia is still in process, but just as surely as Christ is risen, its complete success is settled in heaven. Can you imagine satan’s headache every year at this time? While on earth, Christ defeated him in every possible way for three years. The blind saw, the lame walked, the deaf heard, and the dead were raised. Then, just when satan thought he had finally defeated the Son of God, Christ turned the tables and rose from the dead. “At least He was finally gone from earth, back to heaven,” satan must have thought. Then, on the day of Pentecost, satan’s absolute worst nightmare was realized: there were 120 more people just like Christ! Then another 3000! Those in the Upper Room received Christ’s nature and righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). They were now one with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17), filled with His Spirit (Acts 2:4), even called Christians, which means, “little Christs.” First John 4:17 actually says, “all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.” And the multiplication has never stopped!!! Christ has brought us back into the family of God. He made us His brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of the Most High God, His joint-heirs. We bear His image and name, are filled with His Spirit, and are completely authorized to reveal and represent Him on earth. And this can never be stopped. It is finished, indeed! That. . . is what the Cross and Resurrection mean to me! Pray with me: Thank you, Father, for sending Jesus. Thank You for loving us enough to reverse the Fall and bring us back into Your family. Thank You for such a great salvation. Thank You, Jesus, for coming. Thank You for joining the human race, so that we could join You in Your family. Thank You for making us Your joint-heirs. Thank You for the Cross. Thank You for the Resurrection, for winning. You are the Conquering King, You never lose, You are good - all the time - and we love You with all of our hearts. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for coming to dwell in us. Thank You for being our Helper, our Counselor, our Guide, our source of power, and for being ever-present with us. This day we celebrate the three of You, our great God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Communion We take this bread now and hold it up before You as a remembrance of Christ’s broken body. Through this sacrifice, He took our suffering and purchased our health. We proclaim His death, burial, resurrection, and victory over all of hell. As we partake of it now, we partake of His wholeness. Eat the bread. And now, as we drink the wine, we honor and place our faith fully in the shed blood of Jesus for the remission of our sins. We also remember that His blood does more than cleanse us of sin; it also makes us new creations in Christ Jesus. We are born again. We celebrate this great victory over sin and the curse. We receive health, wholeness, and salvation as we do this today. And we decree that through the blood of Christ, satan and his forces are forever defeated. Drink the juice. (Feel free to pause and take any amount of time you would like, to spend personal time with Him.)

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-17-2025 April 17, 2025 Introduction Today’s post is taken from my book, The Pleasure of His Company. It is entitled: PASSION WEEK: The Look Simon Peter is an interesting character. I love his realness. A down-to-earth fisherman grinding out a living in the small town of Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee, Peter was a tough, calloused, hard-nosed individual. This outspoken disciple sometimes wore his emotions on his sleeve - he once rebuked Jesus (Matthew 16:22) and later, at the Lord’s arrest, cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant (John 18:10). And, like many good fishermen, Peter was known to string out a few expletives, when the situation called for it (Matthew 26:74). One of Peter’s all-too-human moments came at the Last Supper, the night before Christ’s crucifixion. When Jesus spoke of His arrest and the disciples’ scattering, Peter spoke up and bragged, “I’ll never run. I’m ready to go to prison and die for you” (Luke 22:33, paraphrased). I’m sure Peter believed his level of commitment was this great. Christ, however, knew otherwise and gave Peter the now famous “before the cock crows, you’ll deny me three times” prophecy (v. 34). “Simon, Simon,” Jesus told Peter. “Behold, satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers” (vv. 31-32). The Lord’s prediction concerning Peter came true later that night. Having followed Christ to His trial, Peter watched the proceedings from a distance. Then, he was accused of being one of Jesus’ disciples three times. By the time the third accusation came, things were in chaos - Christ was being slapped around, beaten, and spat upon, and a dangerous mob-like atmosphere was forming. In a confused state of panic, Peter buckled under the pressure. “I don’t know Him!” He shouted for the third time, peppering his denial with fowl language. Scripture says, "He began to curse and swear" (Matthew 26:74). Obviously, it was more than one expletive. The Look I find what happened next very moving. Jesus was close enough to hear him, and upon doing so, “turned and looked at Peter” (Luke 22:61). We’re left to guess what kind of look He gave Peter, but it certainly wasn’t one of shock or surprise; after all, He predicted the denial. Another possibility would be an angry, condemning, I-can’t-believe-you-just-did-that look. Knowing Christ as I do, I don’t believe this was the look He gave Peter, either. I’m reasonably confident the look Jesus gave this troubled, confused, and dedicated fisherman - who had left everything to follow Him - was one of deep compassion and reassurance: “Don’t worry, Peter, I understand. And I still believe in you. Remember, I saw this coming and prayed for you. Everything is going to be all right.” And I believe that with one glance, He saved Peter’s destiny. Seeing Christ’s look, Peter was undone. One can only imagine the flood of emotion he was experiencing. In Gethsemane, he had just seen Christ literally bleed through the pores of His skin, a condition called hematidrosis. Then came the arrest and beatings - Christ’s swollen face and torn clothing would have been covered in blood and spittle. And now this. Overcome with emotion, Peter fled the trial and “wept bitterly” (Luke 22:62). The emotional roller coaster continued with the cross, three days of mourning, followed by the resurrection. As thrilled as the disciples were to see Jesus alive, however, things were still not the same. He kept vanishing and reappearing, only to leave again. He was gone most of the time. Finally, Peter had had enough. All of this was way above his pay grade. We are not told his exact train of thought, but I’m guessing it was something like this: I’m no Rabbi or theologian, and I’m not a prophet who can understand mysteries and see into the future. I don’t understand all of the theology, and certainly not the events of the last few days. Nothing has worked out the way I expected; I have no idea where Jesus even is. I’m going back to the only thing I really understand right now, my previous job. “I am going fishing,” he said to several of the other disciples (John 21:3). Also confused and unable to connect the dots, they simply said, “We’re going with you.” The Calling Revisited The Lord was sympathetic to their plight. He had caused it, after all, and He loved them. Christ knew if they could just hang on until Pentecost, all would be well. So, He told Dad, Holy Spirit, and Gabriel that He was going to make another earthly appearance. “The guys could use another encouraging word, especially Peter. I’m going to go cook them breakfast, visit with them awhile, and help them pay some bills.” And that’s exactly what He did. After the disciples had finished a fruitless night of fishing, Jesus was waiting on the beach. He already had a fire going and food cooking. “Come and have breakfast,” He invited them. It must have brought back great memories. We don’t know everything they talked about, but the pleasure of His company must have been wonderfully reassuring. Eventually, knowing Peter was still grieving over denying Him three times, Jesus began addressing the situation. Three times, He asked Peter if he loved Him, and each time, Peter responded affirmatively. Some theologians believe Jesus asked the question three times in order to offset the three denials. That seems likely, but the first time He asked it, Christ added the question, “Do you love Me MORE THAN THESE” (v. 15, emphasis mine). Was He referring to the other disciples, or was He referencing the fish? I believe it was the fish which represented Peter’s former livelihood and career. The Lord was about to reaffirm Peter’s calling. This is why Jesus chose to meet them at the same location where their original calling had occurred, and why He worked the exact same miracle. And if those repeats weren’t enough, He then gave Peter the same command - twice - as He had on that first occasion. “Follow me!” He said to him (v. 19). Christ was saying emphatically to this ashamed and uncertain fisherman: “Your calling hasn’t changed, Peter. I still believe in and need you. Your failure didn’t disqualify you, and the fact that I’m not around at the present time hasn’t changed the plan. Hang in there - everything will make sense in a few more days.” And it did. On the day of Pentecost, Peter was born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. The Christ who used to walk beside him now lived IN him. Peter preached that day, and three thousand people were born again! A few days later, he healed a completely lame man known by the entire city of Jerusalem, and five thousand more people were saved! He had made it. The crusty, foul-mouthed, impetuous, confused denier had survived his trauma and made it through the most confusing and consequential season in world history. He stepped into the new era of redeemed humankind with strength and purpose. You’ll make it, too. If and when you fail Him - and most of us will at some point - look for the look. It’ll be there. When you’re grieving, confused, and uncertain, Jesus wants to take you to breakfast, not expel you from the family. Follow Him! Pray with me: Father, we are so grateful You look past our external deficiencies and at our hearts, seeing the gold that’s hidden there. You were fully aware of Peter’s weaknesses, yet You focused on the qualities Your love and compassion could see in him. Thank You, Lord, for Your commitment to our development and success. You never give up on us! Even when we are filled with confusion, fear, and failure-induced shame, You lovingly whisper, “Look at Me.” And with one glance of Your eyes, comfort, confidence, and new strength arise within us. Identity, destiny, renewed purpose, and faith for the future are found in those fiery eyes that burn with passion for us. Today, we choose to stare back into Your intense gaze. Our decree: We declare that we will follow Jesus, and will always remember to “look for The Look.” ******************************** Today’s post was taken from my book, The Pleasure of His Company, published by Baker Books.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-16-2025 April 16, 2025 PASSION WEEK: President Trump Celebrates the Resurrection For a while, believing that we would see God honored again through those who lead our nation seemed beyond our reach. Hopelessness tried to hold us hostage for four years. Our national leaders purposefully exalted death, assaulted our freedoms, imprisoned some for their beliefs, and had a blatant, in-your-face disregard for our Christian faith. They shoved DEI down our throats and tried to keep us from ever envisioning a whole America again. But we did not lose our courage; we continued to dream God’s dreams, and our prayers are now writing history! This week, Brooke Singman of Fox News reported on President Trump’s plans to honor the Passion Week of Christ. “‘The newly created White House Faith Office is grateful to share that President Trump will honor and celebrate Holy Week and Easter with the observance it deserves,’ Jennifer Korn, Faith Director of the White House Faith Office, told Fox News Digital. ‘Throughout the week, we will distribute a Holy Week proclamation, a special presidential video message (and) host a pre-Easter dinner and White House staff Easter service.’ “Korn said it ‘will be a special time of prayer and worship at the White House to be shared with Americans celebrating the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday.’”(1) Contrast that to Biden’s utter disrespect for the Cross and Resurrection of Christ. “Karoline Leavitt noted that, last year, the Biden White House marked Easter Sunday, which fell on March 31, 2024, the most solemn Christian holiday, as Transgender Day of Visibility.”(2) Both Biden and Obama before him took the disrespect of God and America’s Judeo-Christian heritage to new levels. Biden allowed bare-chested transgender individuals to show off their breasts on the White House lawn. Obama lit up the White House with the colors of the pride flag when the Supreme Court mocked God’s definition of marriage and came up with its own. Throughout their presidencies, both of them intentionally mocked God and His Word, as well as the American church. This has brought great disgrace to our nation, just as the Scriptures warned us would occur when the unrighteous rule: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). ************* God, in His mercy, has now given us a President who honors Him. This was prophesied by Kim Clement eighteen years ago, way back in 2007: “Trump shall become a trumpet! says the Lord. No, you didn’t hear me. Trump shall become a trumpet! Are you listening to me? I will raise up the Trump to become a trumpet. He will be a praying president, not a religious one. But I will fool the people, says the Lord. I will fool the people. Yes, I will. “God says, The one that is chosen shall go in, and they shall say, ‘He has hot blood.’ For the Spirit of God says, Yes, he may have hot blood, but he will bring the walls of protection on this country in a greater way, and the economy of this country shall change rapidly, says the Lord of Hosts. “Listen to the word of the Lord. God says, I will put at your helm for two terms a president who will pray, but he will not be a praying president when he starts. I will put him in office, and then I will baptize him with the Holy Spirit and my power, says the Lord of Hosts.”(3) ************ We now have a praying, God-honoring President and White House staff! We are told by God and His Word that this produces blessings. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2). This is the beginning of America’s reset and reformation. President Trump called it a “Golden Age,” and prophets have called it a “renaissance.” The dictionary gave the phrase “golden age” as a synonym of renaissance. How about that–prophets and the President are saying the same thing regarding this time in America. And remember, what God is doing is not just for America, but for the great worldwide harvest that is truly beginning. This week, President Trump released a message to honor Christ. Here it is, in case you haven’t seen it; read it and rejoice. And the President’s closing prayer will be our prayer today: “This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity. Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead. “During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the Cross. In His final hours on Earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the Cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation. Through His suffering, we have redemption. Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness—signaling that death does not have the final word. “This Holy Week, my Administration renews its promise to defend the Christian faith in our schools, military, workplaces, hospitals, and halls of government. We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life, and protecting God in our public square. “As we focus on Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, we look to His love, humility, and obedience—even in life’s most difficult and uncertain moments. This week, we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation. We pray that America will remain a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom for the entire world, and we pray to achieve a future that reflects the truth, beauty, and goodness of Christ’s eternal Kingdom in Heaven. “May God bless you and your family during this special time of year, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.”(4) Decree with me: "America shall be saved!" ********************* Click on the link below to watch the full video. ----------------------------------------------- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-hold-extraordinary-holy-week-events-trump-honors-easter-the-observance-deserves Ibid.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-15-2025 April 15, 2025 Introduction As we approach the time we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Savior, Christ Jesus, I remind you that it occurred in the month of Nisan. The timing of the revelation regarding Nisan, and the in-depth meaningful studies we have done in recent GH15s, have led us up to this pivotal week - no doubt orchestrated by Holy Spirit. For the remainder of this week, we will gratefully remember the sacrifice Christ made for us. The title of today’s post is: Passion Week: Human, As Well As Divine As Jesus approached the day of His crucifixion, the human part of Him experienced a deep emotional struggle. We sometimes forget Jesus was truly human as well as divine, with very real human emotions. He experienced the pain of grief, sorrow, and rejection; He knew the pleasure of joy, peace, hope, and love. As our representative and substitute, Christ functioned as a true human - minus the sin nature. He did not rely on His deity to face life’s situations. Jesus, therefore, did not simply switch into His God nature in order to endure the ordeal of the Cross and the events leading up to it. He began making His final journey to Jerusalem - and the Cross - in Luke 9:51: “When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem.” The emotional strain of knowing what was coming became very challenging to Christ. In Luke 12:50, He said, “I have a baptism to undergo. How distressed I am till it is accomplished.” This was still several weeks before the Cross, yet the emotional pressure was already wearing on Him. The word “distressed” here is also the Greek word for a prisoner, or someone held fast by something they cannot escape from; it also means to be in mental anguish. Luke, whose gospel emphasizes Christ’s humanness more than the other three, reminds us 10 more times - some of them through direct quotes from Christ Himself - that He was focused on getting to Jerusalem. It was never far from His thinking. His emotions must have been raw as He thought of the Old Testament prophecies describing His coming ordeal. And when He rounded the last curve, crested the last hill, and saw Jerusalem, He began weeping uncontrollably (Luke 19:41). Wuest’s literal translation of the Greek New Testament says “And as He came near, having caught sight of the city, He burst into tears, weeping audibly over it...” Christ’s request to the Father while agonizing in Gethsemane - “Let this cup pass from Me” - was genuine. Describing this time in the garden, the Greek text literally says that Christ, in His anguish, fell repeatedly to the ground. The words used to describe His trauma mean: to be in a state of great anxiety, even disoriented; exceedingly sorrowful; overwhelmed with sadness, encompassed by grief. Wuest’s translation says Christ was “thoroughly alarmed and distressed...even to the point of death.” This is what caused His capillaries to burst, a condition known as hematidrosis, causing drops of blood to literally drip from His pores onto the ground. I believe our redemption actually began there in the garden when the first drops of blood began to fall. It was then that He bore our griefs and sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). His disciples observed His struggle, even as they wrestled to remain awake with Him in prayer. They had no idea they were about to enter a whirlwind of catastrophic events, observing the arrest, trial, beating, abuse, and crucifixion of the One they had set their hopes on. Their next few hours would be tormenting and traumatic. Then they watched as Jesus was tortured, killed, and laid in a tomb. No doubt they were very confused, their minds spinning from the events of the last two days, trying to make some sense of it all. They likely rehearsed the things He had said to them over and over again. The disciples definitely did not realize Jesus was going to die. It is also clear that they did not believe He would be resurrected on the third day, though He had told them this would occur. They didn’t know what to think. Their troubled souls had no idea what God was doing. There are times in our lives when we find ourselves in a similar place. Life seems good, or at least normal. We trust the Lord and enjoy our walk with Him, our time with family and friends. Then, difficult changes occur. During covid, for example, we lived through an entire year in which many unpleasant changes came upon us suddenly. We were forced into isolation for a season. Then, other transitions began. Some lost loved ones, others experienced job losses or forced career changes. Some had to start new businesses or even move to other locales to find work. The way we educate our children was altered, and entire families had to adjust. The church had to find new ways to worship, minister to one another, and evangelize. When circumstances change at this level, we must run TO God, not FROM Him. He knows what is happening, what is on the horizon. He is our peace, our hope, and He has promised us a victorious future. On the days between Gethsemane and the Resurrection, the earth reeled from satan’s activities against Christ. But a wonderful surprise was coming! Victory was on the horizon, though no one knew this yet. God was working behind the scenes, vanquishing the enemy and sprinkling the Mercy Seat with Christ’s blood. His plan was taking shape and would soon be revealed. Don’t be anxious, church. Don’t let fear, confusion, or anger, rooted in the chaos of our times, overtake you. Spend time with your Father. Quiet your soul, and wait upon Him. He will speak, comfort you, and prepare you for what He has planned. David, the Psalmist, when in exile from his homeland and living in a dark cave, said, “I certainly believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord,” (Psalm 27:13-14 NASB). Pray with me: Lord, we will seek You, and we will find You. You have made promises to us, and You will do what You have said. Hope has risen in us, giving way to faith. We are listening for Your instructions. You have planned for the success of the church. You will make us victorious–like You! You have planned for harvest and have done so well. A great outpouring of Your glory has begun with signs and wonders poured out. Your Kingdom power will hit this earth like a powerful tsunami, and You want us ready. We WILL be ready! Let Your suddenlies manifest, Lord! Creative miracles, be! Radical salvations, occur! Sudden resources, flood in! Let Your power and glory be seen in and through us, Lord! Break all the pain, fear, and anxiety of the last season off of Your people. Let all its effects be washed away by the power of Your resurrection and the magnificence of Your presence. We exalt Your holy name, Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We declare that our faith in God’s plan is strong! Revival has begun! ********************************* Click on the link below to watch the full video

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-14-2025 April 14, 2025 Introduction On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week, I shared posts on the month of Nisan and its rich meanings, especially our redemption through Christ. Thank you for the wonderful feedback I have received. One of the things we learned was that the resurrection of Christ occurred on the 17th of Nisan, which begins tomorrow evening at sunset and goes through the day on Wednesday (April 15-16 on our calendar) (LINK to Friday’s post). However, most Christians will celebrate Easter on Sunday, April 20. As you prepare to celebrate Resurrection Day, I thought I would share with you an event that occurred on the actual day Christ rose from the dead, Nisan 17. It is in the latter half of today’s post, which is taken from my book, The Pleasure of His Company. Today’s title is: The Visit It should come as no surprise that the primary place to receive revelation is the Lord’s presence. He wants to speak to us, not shout from far away. Spending time with God and His Word allows Him to access our minds, revealing spiritual insights and His wisdom for our lives. The power of the revelation flowing in Christ’s presence can be seen through two meetings He had with some of His early followers. As He was beginning His earthly ministry, Jesus visited John the Baptist, who publicly announced concerning Him, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29, 36). Two of John’s disciples heard this stunning announcement and decided to check Him out. One of them was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, who became one of the twelve disciples. As they followed Him, Jesus noticed, turned to them, and asked, “What do you seek?” (verse 38). Their answer was interesting. “Rabbi (which translated means ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” (verse 38). “Come, and you will see,” was His invitation to them. They took Him up on His offer and ended up spending the day with Him (v. 39). If you’re content with things as they are, spending a day with Jesus isn’t a good idea! Having a private audience with Him for an entire day is going to change you. Radically. The conversation might be superficial at first. At some point, however, you would no doubt ask personal questions concerning yourself and your future. Everyone thinks about purpose. Experts tell us that the desire to know our purpose is one of the strongest desires we humans have. Did these two men ask Jesus about this? We don’t know for certain, but perhaps, because something Andrew heard while with Jesus impacted him so greatly, he decided on a career change, becoming one of Christ’s twelve disciples! Destiny flows from days spent with Jesus. Andrew received another revelation, however, that day, which had to do–not with his own identity–but Christ’s. He began the day by referring to Jesus simply as a teacher (“Rabbi”); he ended it by calling Him the Messiah. “He found first his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (which translated means Christ)” (John 1:41). On that day with Jesus, Andrew received the two most important revelations needed for a successful life: who Christ is, and who he was. When those two things are realized, they unlock destiny. The purpose of anything is found in the mind of its creator, not in itself. Self-identity comes from identifying and knowing the One who made us. You’ll never really find yourself until you find Him. Andrew found both that day. Resurrection Day - Nisan 17 At the end of Christ’s ministry, two more of His followers had a revelatory encounter with Him. The meeting occurred three days after the Cross; to say their world had turned topsy-turvy would be a gross understatement. To have discovered, lived with, and traveled with Jesus for three years, only to lose Him, would be life’s cruelest injustice. These two men were informed earlier in the day that Christ had risen from the dead. But, really, who would believe two grief-stricken ladies claiming to have been visited by angels (Luke 24:1-12)? As they walked the seven-mile journey to Emmaus, they discussed this too-good-to-be-true report and all that had transpired over the past few days. That’s when He arrived. “And it came about that while they were conversing and discussing, Jesus himself approached, and began traveling with them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him” (Luke 24:15-16). “What are you discussing?” He wanted to know. They gave Jesus a brief summary, expressing their surprise that He would even have to ask. “What else would we be discussing?” was their inference. It seems everyone in Jerusalem could think of little else than what had transpired with Christ the last few days, since so many of them had thought He might be the long-awaited Messiah. They spoke to Him of their devastation and also of the rumor that He had risen from the dead. Jesus, His identity still hidden from them, “explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (v. 27), including the fact that He had to suffer and die. Though they still didn’t know it was Jesus, His words began impacting their hearts. “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us... explaining the Scriptures to us?” they stated (v. 32). When they reached their destination, the men pleaded with Jesus to stay longer with them, perhaps spend the night. The Lord agreed to do so, and during dinner, “He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him” (vv. 30-31). He disappeared from their site at that moment, and they hurried back the seven miles to Jerusalem with the good news: Christ was, indeed, risen. I find it more than a coincidence that Christ chose to temporarily hide from these men who He was, in order to release the revelation “in the breaking of the bread” (v. 35). Was the timing His way of saying to them, “Sup with Me and I will reveal to you hidden things?” I believe so. Feed on His words (Matthew 4:4). Eat them. As you do, revelation will come. He will reveal Himself to you, just as He did these two men. And just as occurred with Andrew, He will also reveal to you your purpose and destiny. Spend some time with Jesus–He is risen! Pray with me: Father, there is so much we need to hear from You. Jesus said Your Words are spirit and life (John 6:63). Filled with revelation and wisdom, they give us the insights we need to succeed in life. Remind us, in these perilous times, to take the time and sup with You. As our Creator, You alone know what is best for us and the purpose for which You made us. We want to fulfill that purpose. As we walk with You, You will reveal this destiny, and Yourself, to us. Help us all to remember that times with You are the most important of our lives. Open our eyes, just as You did for Andrew and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. We pray, as Paul did in Ephesians 1:17-20 (TPT‬‬): “I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know Him through your deepening intimacy with Him. I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling —that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His holy ones! I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!” ‭ Our decree: We declare that Christ is alive, and we have been raised to a new life through Him! *********************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. -------------------------------------------- Today’s post was taken from my book, The Pleasure of His Company, published by Baker Books

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-11-2025 April 11, 2025 History’s Divine Orchestrator This past Wednesday, at the encouragement of several leaders, I began a series of posts on what I feel God is saying to the church at this time, highlighting the “month of miracles” - Nisan. My brother Tim’s comments summarize their consensus well: “I think the teaching you gave about Nisan is not just for the Healing Summit. There is a heavy weight on this word right now. Yes, signs, wonders, and miracles are accelerating, but I believe a broader launch is beginning. I sense that it may be a prophetic word concerning a worldwide move of Holy Spirit, that God is announcing the launch of revival and reformation through this word.” Yesterday’s post summarized many events that have occurred down through history in the month of Nisan, which symbolized redemption and new beginnings. If you have not read these previous two posts, I highly recommend that you do so; they will give greater context for today’s, which is regarding seven events that took place on the seventeenth day of Nisan. The number 17 in Scripture represents “complete victory, overcoming the enemy”(1) and “the perfection of God’s divine order.”(2) First, I will list these seven events, then make comments. They are: Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on this day. (Genesis 8:4) The Israelites entered Egypt on this day in order to survive a severe famine, where they lived for 430 years. (Genesis 46; Exodus 12:40-41) Israel crossed the Red Sea in the Exodus on Nisan 17, 430 years “to the very day” from when they entered Egypt. (Exodus 12:40-41) After crossing the Jordan River under Joshua’s leadership, Israel ate the fruit of the promised land for the first time on this day. God had told them they would spend 40 years in the wilderness because of their unbelief (Numbers 14:34). On the 40th anniversary of them crossing the Red Sea - “on that very day” – they ate the first fruits of Canaan. (Joshua 5:10-11) King Hezekiah, in his reformation, rededicated and opened the cleansed temple, which had been defiled. (2 Chronicles 29:1-28) After Queen Esther led a three-day fast, the tables were turned on wicked Haman, and he was hung on the gallows he had built for Mordecai. (Esther 7:10) Jesus rose from the dead. (Luke 22:1-8) It is inconceivable, apart from divine causation, that these events all occurred on the same day in history. One article said the odds against it are about 1 in 784 quadrillion (1 in 783,864,876,960,000,000, to be exact!).(3) Think about the flood, followed by Noah’s Ark coming to rest ON THE SAME DAY Jesus rose from the dead. “Thousands of years before the resurrection, God engineered history to point toward the pinnacle event of salvation. Just as the ancient judgment ended on the day the ark touched the ground, so the judgment of the restored world ended on the same day of the year, when the tomb could not hold [Jesus].”(4) What other than the omniscient mind and omnipotent power of God could produce such a feat? The exact amount of rain had to fall; therefore, it had to begin on just the right day so that the weather patterns would cause just enough water to evaporate, causing the Ark to touch ground ON THAT DAY, which would be Resurrection Day! This is far beyond human comprehension. Causing Israel to leave the land of Egypt ON THE EXACT SAME DAY 430 years after they entered is just a bit mind-boggling also. As you think about how incredible that is, remember that God had to orchestrate all of the events leading up to it at the exact right time. He orchestrated Moses’ birth and rescue. He had to encounter Moses at the burning bush far enough in advance to overcome his insecurities and get him back to Egypt. He had to calculate the timing of all the plagues, factoring in the amount of time the Egyptians would take to give their answers. He had to time how long it would take the thousands of Israelites to pack and journey to the Red Sea. Then he had to roll back the Red Sea at exactly the right time for them to cross out of Egypt and into the land – ON THE EXACT DAY they had entered it 430 years earlier! Then there is that Nisan 17 just after Joshua had led Israel across the Jordan and into the promised land. They ate the first fruits of the land ON THAT DAY, and began the seven-day conquest of Jericho (Joshua 5:13-6:5). That means that the day Joshua met Jesus, “the Captain of the host of the Lord” (Joshua 5:13), was THE EXACT SAME DAY hundreds of years later that “The Captain” stepped onto earth’s battlefield, conquerred death and stepped from the tomb. Did you get that? ON THE VERY DAY! This might be a good place to pause and remind yourself that God can do what He says. If He can take out Haman on the very day He would rise from the dead a few centuries down the road, He can deal with all that Haman’s boss, satan, sends your way. (Feel free to pause the video and run around the room for a few minutes, if necessary.) Nisan 17 – literal Resurrection Day – will be April 15-16 this year, next Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. (Remember that the Jewish new day starts at sundown and continues until sundown the following day.) Remember this anniversary when you get out of bed next Wednesday morning. On that day, celebrate your redemption, the beginning of the new life Yeshua gave you when you were born again. And remember – in the face of all adversity and difficulty – that Pharaoh is dead, Jericho fell, Haman was hung, satan is defeated, and the tomb is empty. Your “Captain” won the war, and He will take care of you. Pray with me: Father, we believe You are drawing attention to this Hebrew month, Nisan, to make a strong statement. You are announcing, reminding us that You are Creator and Redeemer, well able to save. Christ is our Savior, Healer, Deliverer, and conquering King. He will not fail us, but will do all He has promised. In this “month of miracles,” You are releasing another wave of Your mighty redemptive power, bringing victory and new beginnings throughout the earth. In this “month of speech,” we declare that we will have our breakthroughs. We will see Your salvation, Your miracles, the return of prodigals, and the great awakening You have promised move into full power. Lives will be saved, and America shall be saved. And millions around the world will be saved. As we celebrate Passover weekend, we will do so with a new and fresh revelation of our salvation and Your desire to save. You love to save and redeem, not destroy. You love to bless, not curse. You are the Giver, not the taker. And you are our Father. Our decree: We decree this day that we have crossed the Jordan into our promised land, and with grateful hearts will eat the fruit He has promised. ***************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ----------------------------------------------- https://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/17.html#google_vignette Ethelbert W.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-10-2025 April 10, 2025 The Month of Redemption Yesterday, at the encouragement of several leaders, I began a series of posts on what I feel God is saying to the church at this time, highlighting the “month of miracles” - Nisan. In the words of my brother Tim: “I think the teaching you gave about Nisan is not just for the Healing Summit. There is a heavy weight on this word right now. Yes, signs, wonders, and miracles are accelerating, but I believe a broader launch is beginning. I sense that it may be a prophetic word concerning a worldwide move of Holy Spirit, that God is announcing the launch of revival and reformation through this word.” Why would God highlight this Hebrew month, and why would He choose it to launch a movement? Let’s dig a little deeper. There are two calendar years in Israel: one civil and one spiritual/religious. Nisan is the 7th month of the civil year and, at God’s decree, became the first month of the religious year. When He delivered Israel from Egypt and established Passover, Yahweh spoke: “And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.” (Exodus 12:1-2) Though this occasion delineated Nisan as the first month of the religious calendar year - the one God would operate by - it wasn’t the beginning of the month’s significance; Nisan was already a VERY significant time period to the Lord. In fact, Jewish Rabbi Joshua states in the Talmud that Yahweh began the creation of the universe on Nisan 1!(1) No wonder He told Moses in the above verse that Nisan was the “beginning of months.” And God began tabulating earth’s history from then. This forever established Nisan as the month of beginnings, or as we sometimes refer to a fresh start, new beginnings. This month also marks the beginning of spring in Israel, which symbolizes renewal and new beginnings as well. The renewals and new beginnings Nisan is associated with often include the concept of redemption. This can be seen by the fact that in Nisan: Noah’s Ark came to rest after the flood. (Genesis 8:4) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were born, marking new phases of God’s redemptive plan.(2) God made covenant with Abraham, which began the process of bringing the Messiah to us. (Genesis 15) Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, launching his new beginning and that of the nation through whom Messiah would come. (Genesis 32) Moses had his encounter at the burning bush, inaugurating his renewal and fresh start, as well as Israel’s Exodus a year later. (Exodus 3-4) Passover was instituted, and the Exodus occurred, beginning a new season for Israel (Exodus 12); this pictured the Cross and our redemption. The bitter waters of Marah were healed by throwing a tree into them, picturing Christ being cast into the bitter waters of spiritual death, on a “tree,” removing the curse and giving us the sweet water of life. It was also here that Yahweh announced, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:22-26) The Tabernacle was first set up on Nisan 1 (Exodus 40:2), marking the beginning of Israel’s system of worship. The flooded Jordan River, picturing the spiritual death separating us from our redemption and inheritance, was “cut off,” allowing Joshua to lead Israel across and into the promised land (Joshua 3-4). Notice that the Jordan was not rolled back but was “cut off,” and this was done several miles upstream at a town named Adam (Joshua 3:16). This symbolized the “cutting off” of the spiritual waters of death that flowed to us from Adam. The entire story of Joshua leading Israel across and into the promised land was a picture of our glorious redemption through Christ. Daniel was delivered from the lions. (Daniel 6) The return to the land of Israel from the Babylonian exile under Ezra and Nehemiah began (Ezra 7:9). Nehemiah actually received permission to rebuild Jerusalem and its walls on the first of Nisan (Nehemiah 2.1) Haman’s plan to destroy the Jews was enacted, as well as Esther’s three-day fast for deliverance from the plot. (Esther 3:12; 4:16) Sennacherib and the Assyrian army’s attempt to destroy Israel was thwarted by one angel. (2 Chronicles 32) Christ, our Passover Lamb, was sacrificed on the Cross, bringing redemption and a new beginning for the entire human race. Obviously, much more could be said regarding these events; they are loaded with insights and revelation. And there are other significant events picturing redemption and marking new beginnings that occurred in Nisan, which we cannot cover here. Suffice it to say that this time period was and is sacred to the Lord, the time when He began His dream of family, and the time He chose to recapture this dream at the Cross! Our original birth and the new birth - Nisan! No wonder the month is special to Abba. Remember this as you celebrate Passover this upcoming Saturday and Sunday. It should come as no surprise - in light of the above - that Nisan is considered the month of miracles. It is also considered the month of speech, in part because this is when God created the universe with His words. Also, God commanded Israel to tell the story of Passover and the Exodus, which occurred in Nisan, to their children. The Jews know death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). To them, Nisan is considered a time for renewed focus on words and their power, because they set the course for the future.(3) Conclusion Has God chosen this incredibly significant and holy month, which represents His original creation, the new creation, and so many other acts of redemption, to launch another phase of the great revival beginning on earth? I believe so. Align your speech with His. Declare that revival is coming to you, your family, your city, and your nation. Declare that freedom, healing, redemption, and deliverance are yours through Christ. Tomorrow, we will look at Nisan once more, highlighting its amazing connection to victory. Pray with me: Father, we are incredibly blessed and humbled by the fact that You use us to accomplish Your purposes. We will forever be amazed that You chose to create a family and make them instrumental in Your Kingdom coming to earth. We choose to align with these purposes, not allowing them to go unaccomplished from a lack of involvement on our part. We will partner with You, asking and acting in faith. We continue to release prayers for worldwide revival. And as a part of this, we release faith-filled prayers for signs, wonders, and miracles. We ask for the gifts of Holy Spirit to be released to believers around the world, facilitating these works of power and the fruit of Christ’s redemption. Heal the sick, deliver the oppressed, set captive people free through His body, the church. Do a work so significant in this regard during April/Nisan that history will record it as a time when great miracles began, just as in Acts 2. Father, You have not been caught off guard or surprised by the evil of our day. You warned us very clearly in Your Word that it would occur. You also gave us amazing examples of Your ability to deal with it. We remember this today. We do not minimize the suffering of so many at this time, but neither do we surrender to it as the final chapter. You ARE the Deliverer. You ARE He who restores and heals. You give fresh starts, new beginnings, turnarounds, and right minds. You destroy Hamans, close the mouths of lions, and cause bad to work for good when we keep our faith anchored to You. And we do so today. Give deliverance from evil throughout the earth. Save and restore. And based on Your instructions in Matthew 6:10, we command the release of Your Kingdom authority, goodness, and will into our lives. And all this we do in our representation of Christ and His authority. We ask that You glorify Jesus, advance Your Kingdom, and release Your compassion to people here in America and around the world. In Jesus’ name we pray this. Amen. Our decree: We decree that in the month of new beginnings there will be new beginnings! ************************ Click on the link below to watch the full video. ---------------------------------------------------- https://www.fusionglobal.org/hebrew-calendar-months/nisan/ Ibid. https://www.livekabbalah.com/blog/nisan-aries-kabbalah-lesson

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-9-2025 April 9, 2025 Do It Again At the recent Healing Summit, I shared for a few minutes about the Hebrew month of Nisan (March 30-April 28 in 2025), which I also mentioned in a recent GH15 post. Over the weekend, my brother, Tim, texted me saying: “I think your teaching about Nisan was not just for the Healing Summit. There is heavy weight on this word right now. Yes, signs, wonders, and miracles are accelerating, but I believe a broader launch is beginning. I feel it may be a prophetic word concerning a worldwide move of Holy Spirit, that God is announcing the launch of revival and reformation through this word. “I believe the truths surrounding the month, Nisan, and the call its message releases will resonate with the body of Christ, causing them to begin moving forth into great, great promise. I think it is trumpeting a call of Holy Spirit to the church to move into supernatural times of promise, just as it did in the exodus and other events in Israel. “Perhaps you should consider doing some Give Him 15 messages on the subject.” A couple of the other team members also commented on the message being timely and expressed that I should consider some posts on the subject. I feel that they may be right. I am certainly not an expert on all things Hebraic, but over the next few days will be sharing some of the insights I have discovered. First, I should comment on why God would choose a particular time of year, such as Nisan, to do or launch something significant. A Messianic Rabbi once asked me (a post from July 25, 2023), “Do you know what the Hebrew word for ‘testimony’ means?” I told him I did not, and he continued. “The root word for ‘testimony’ means ‘to repeat; to do again,’ or ‘do time again.’ It does not mean only to speak about or give witness of something.” As clearly as I can recall, he continued, saying, “It’s as though time is pregnant with God’s words and power. The eternal God releases the power to do or accomplish something; it enters into time and is forever there. His words are eternal, alive, and powerful (Psalm 119:89; Hebrews 4:12). As we implement His laws and the principles of His Word, we can tap into this power. Declaring what He has done in the past – testifying – is one of the ways we do so. “We believe that when one declares God’s Word or shares what He did in the past – a testimony – the same power is released to ‘do it again’ today. That’s why we believe it’s so important to tell our children what God did in the past, and why God was angry with Israel when they neglected to teach them Israel’s history. For example, we believe that when we tell our children about the exodus – how God delivered Israel from Egypt at Passover through great signs and wonders – the same power is released again. Our children can receive the spiritual fruit of Passover and deliverance. We believe the power of what God did yesterday can be released again and again and again and again.” The Rabbi then spoke of “time” in relation to this. “We do not measure time in a linear fashion as Westerners do, as in a timeline. We see time as cyclical and believe that as it cycles annually, and we reach the time of year when God did something in history, it’s easier to tap into the power again. During the time of Israel’s feasts, for example, we believe it’s easier to tap into the blessings God ‘placed’ in that feast-time.” I was fascinated by this and studied for myself the Hebrew word for testimony, eduwth/eduth. Sure enough, the root word (ud or uwd) means “repeat or do again.” The lexicon said it refers to “the continuance of a past event.” For this reason, the Arabic words for “return” and “habit” (doing something again and again) come from this same root.(1) I also studied the word “remember.” For much of my life, I wondered why the Old Testament said, “God remembered…” My thinking was: He never forgets anything, so how could He remember? And why would He tell us in Isaiah 43:26, “Put Me in remembrance...” Why would we need to remind God? When I studied the Hebrew word, my lexicon said it didn’t just mean “to recall.” It informed me that in Hebrew, “Remembering is not merely a recalling of the past but is also a call to action (italics mine).”(2) Finally, the concept made sense: Of course God doesn’t need us to help Him by pulling something out of His memory, as though He forgot about it. Putting Him in remembrance is asking Him to act on what He said in the past, and do it. This Hebrew concept of remembering - recall and do - can be seen in the process of a person building their dream home. For years, they have dreamed, planned, and promised themselves that they would do so; they’ve saved money and waited for the right time. While waiting, he or she hasn’t forgotten about it; the house is always “in the back of their mind.” The timing, however, for various reasons, hasn’t been right. When they realize it is now time, they begin consciously “remembering” the house – not in the sense that they had forgotten about it – but in the doing stage of remembering it…because it is now time to build. They buy land, if they haven’t already done so, have the plans drawn, get the permits, hire the builder, and build the house! THAT…is the biblical concept of “remember”! The Lord “remembered” Hannah, barrenness was broken off her, and she conceived (1 Samuel 1:19). Samson repented; God then said He “remembered” him, and his strength returned (Judges 16:28). God said He “remembered” His promise to Abraham, and the exodus process began (Exodus 2:24). When the right time arrives, and yes, sometimes that timing hinges upon our actions, God “remembers.” Remembering engages His creative mind and releases His great power and ability. In fact, one of the primary Hebrew words for “create” actually comes from the word for “think or imagine.” Individuals, including God, think, dream of, or imagine something (yetser), then create it (yatsar).(3) Might God have planned or imagined revival for our generation and has now determined it is time? Have we “put Him in remembrance” (Isaiah 46:23)? Is He about to “do something again?” And if so, would this month of Nisan perhaps be a time He would announce it? I believe this may be occurring. Tomorrow, we will look at the significance of the month Nisan itself, and why God may have chosen it. Pray with me: Forever, oh Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89). Your words are just as powerful today as they were when You first spoke them. They are alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12), spirit and life, (John 6:63). They never return void, empty, or fruitless, but always accomplish their assignments (Isaiah 55:11). They are seeds, containing reproductive, multiplicative power (Matthew 13:37; 1 Peter 1:23). Your words produce faith (Romans 10:17), multiply as fruit (Matthew 13:23), and generate victory in battle (I Timothy 1:18; Ephesians 6:17). When we speak them, we are not demanding from You, but honoring You, demonstrating our trust. We testify today of Your faithfulness, and the great works You have done for us. We ask You to do them again. Remember Your promises regarding our nation. Remember Your promises regarding our family members, the prodigals in our lives, the healing of bodies. Remember and take action. Just as You have done before in the month of Nisan, bring forth Your redemptive power. Save, heal, transform, and reform. In Jesus’ name! Amen. Our decree: We decree that God has remembered us and is releasing His mighty power again. ******************************** Watch the full video below: ------------------------------------------------------------------ R.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-8-2025 April 8, 2025 Introduction The Healing Summit in Ohio this past Friday night was a great success. Many people were touched and healed by the power of God. Just as importantly, reports are indicating that healings occurred in other churches and locations. I remain confident that the prayers of agreement which spanned America and other nations, are now being used by Holy Spirit to release, not only healings, but a new movement of signs and wonders. This will be a part of the evolving revival, causing millions to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for praying and believing with us for this. I’ll be sharing testimonies from individuals in the coming days. Today’s post is from Ché Ahn’s powerful new book entitled Blueprints for Transformation: Bringing Revival and Reformation to the Nations, and it is a perfect follow-up to Friday night’s Healing Summit. The title of today’s post is: HOW TO MOVE IN POWER EVANGELISM The Great Commission cannot truly be fulfilled in our own human strength—rather, we must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. Zechariah 4:6 declares, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.” The biblical basis for power evangelism is clear: 1. Jesus Needed Power: In His three years of ministry, Jesus did everything in complete reliance on the Holy Spirit. He healed the sick, cast out demons, raised the dead, multiplied food, and walked on water in response to what He saw and heard the Father doing (John 5:19). He did all of this in His humanity, as a man filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. 2. The Early Church Needed Power: Before ascending into heaven, Jesus commanded His disciples to receive the power of the Holy Spirit by waiting in the upper room (Acts 1:4, 8). The Holy Spirit was then poured out on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4), enabling them to walk in the supernatural power of Christ’s kingdom. 3. Paul Needed Power: Likewise, the apostle Paul acknowledged His dependency on the power of the Holy Spirit. In his first letter to the church at Corinth, he wrote, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power” (1 Corinthians 2:4 NIV). The gospel was never meant to be dependent upon the words of man. Holy Spirit has always been God’s intended means of bringing a visible demonstration of His Kingdom to this earth. Two Keys to Operating in Power Evangelism First, we must be sensitive to the prophetic voice of the Holy Spirit. If you belong to Jesus, you are one of His sheep, and Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27). God created you with the innate capacity to hear Him. Second, I encourage you to look for those who are hurting physically, and if the circumstance is right, ask if you can pray for them. Hearing God’s voice and being led prophetically by Him are keys to seeing healing in power evangelism. Let me share a story with you about what this can practically look like. One morning, sometime around 2008, I was leaving my house to go to the church office. At that time, the office was by Mott Auditorium in Pasadena. My neighbor Ann, a hospice nurse, called out to me from across the street. Ann and her husband, Andy, were the typical unchurched yuppie couple. Sue and I had often witnessed to them, inviting them over for a barbecue and giving them gifts for Christmas and Easter each year, as we just wanted to love on our neighbors. Seeing her wave me over, I walked to the driveway across the street to talk with her. “What’s up, Ann?” “Ché, I have a patient who has been in a coma for two weeks,” Ann told me. “She’s 90 years old, and I think she’s going to die any minute now. Could you come and give her last rites?” To be honest with you, I had no idea how to give last rites. Ann came from a Roman Catholic background, so she saw me as a priest. I said, “I’ll be happy to, but I have a meeting in Altadena.” “The patient is in Altadena,” she replied. “Great, let me drive my car over, and then after I see your patient, I’ll head to our church office.” Thus was the arrangement. In my mind, I figured I would just say the Disciple’s Prayer, quote Psalm 23, and that would be it. So, I followed behind Ann in my car for the short trek to Altadena. When we arrived at a small two-bedroom bungalow, I got out of the car and was led to the elderly woman’s room where a Filipina nurse was attending her. The patient’s name was Lois. She was indeed in a coma, by all appearances, shriveled up, and connected to an IV and some other basic life support. The moment I walked in the room, I heard the Lord say to me, “Raise her from the coma and preach the gospel to her.” Now, I didn’t want to alarm Ann because she had a very traditional expectation of what I was there to do. I turned to her and said, “Do you mind if I pray a different kind of prayer than give the last rites?” She said, “What do you mean?” “Do you mind if I pray that God would heal her?” Ann looked at me like, I knew you were a religious fanatic. She said, “You can do whatever you want to do,” and then she walked over to the corner of the room where the other nurse was standing. With that permission, I leaned over the bedside and said a simple prayer: “Father, in Jesus’ name, I command Lois to come out of the coma and for her to hear the gospel.” Two or three seconds later, Lois suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing an unfamiliar Korean man standing over her bed, she immediately said, “Who are you?” I was so stunned by her coming out of the coma so quickly that I just said, “I'm a pastor.” “I can’t believe you’re a pastor,” she said, “because I prayed, ‘God, keep me alive until You send a pastor to tell me how I can go to heaven.’” I told her, “Lois, God has heard your prayers, and I’m going to tell you how you can get to heaven.” So, I shared the gospel with her, and she gave her life to Jesus Christ. When I came back later to follow up and read the Bible to Lois, the Filipina nurse also gave her heart to Jesus. A few months later, Ann came to our church service on Easter Sunday, and she was the first one to walk forward when I gave the altar call for salvation. Thus, God brought salvation to all three women as a result of Lois’ miracle! God desires all to be saved. He is constantly speaking—we just have to be listening. When we tune into the voice of the Holy Spirit, we must then be obedient and follow His leading to see supernatural results. ******* Pray with me: Father, thank You for the many reports of healings we are receiving from Friday night’s gathering. I thank You also for the healings that began and will continue until the individuals are completely well. And thank You for releasing gifts of the Spirit to people around the world, enabling them to minister in healing anointing ongoingly, as Holy Spirit leads. You have shown many people that a wave of the miraculous, of signs and wonders, is beginning throughout the world. We ask for this to increase quickly and very powerfully. We also continue to pray for the changes needed in America’s government. We ask You for a shaking of all that is unrighteous, including the judicial system and its use of lawfare to hinder the changes we need. Give Congress the strategy needed to end this injustice. We pray for continued exposure of fraud and waste, and that President Trump and his team be guided to make wise decisions. And lastly, we continue to stand against the principality You referred to as “the Prince of Persia” in Scripture. This evil spirit has been responsible for hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of lives being destroyed. He breeds hatred, pain, and death. End his stronghold in that region. And break the influence of Iran, a nation he has used for centuries. We love the people of Iran and ask You for a continuation of the revival taking place there, and throughout the Middle East while also asking for the end of this evil stronghold. Release many signs and wonders into that region. All of this we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the new movement of signs and wonders in the earth has begun. ****************************** Today’s post was contributed by Ché Ahn and is taken from his new book Blueprints for Transformation, published by Servant Leader Publishing.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-7-2025 April 7, 2025 INTRODUCTION Since I recorded today’s post on Friday before leaving for the Healing Summit, I am not able to give a report. I will do so over the coming days. Today, I’m excited to be reading a portion from Ché Ahn’s new book, entitled Blueprints for Transformation: Bringing Revival and Reformation to the Nations. At the beginning of this year, I stated that we were moving into revival and reformation and that I would share a good bit on these subjects throughout the year. The timing of this book’s release could not be more appropriate. In the foreword, I call this book a “masterpiece,” and it truly is. I concluded the foreword by saying, “The greatest expansion of God’s Kingdom on earth has begun. Blueprints for Transformation is one of its textbooks! Without a doubt, this is one of the most important books of our time.” The title of today’s excerpt is: FROM REVIVAL TO REFORMATION In the mid-1990s, our church, Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, CA, entered an unprecedented season of God’s glory being manifested in our midst. For six months straight, children in our church, including my daughters, regularly saw angels during our meetings. It was as if heaven had descended on us. Extraordinary healings took place. People smelled the fragrance of heaven, and there were many other manifestations of God’s glory. I loved each and every testimony that we witnessed. Through these experiences, I reached this conclusion: This is what God’s glory is—heaven coming to earth! The Prayer of Reformation: Heaven on Earth After those supernatural encounters, I felt led by the Holy Spirit to study the biblical theme of heaven on earth. In that season, I discovered an extremely important truth that had been in the Disciple’s Prayer (commonly called “the Lord’s Prayer”) all along. In Matthew 6:10, Jesus instructs His disciples to decree these words in prayer: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” This is a revival prayer! For the past 2,000 years, the church has been praying for the kingdom of heaven—the rule and reign of God—to be established and manifested on earth. In essence, we have been praying for Revival with a capital “R.” But this is also a prayer for reformation. And it’s not only for us individually or for our families; it’s a prayer for our nations. The more I delved into the reality of seeing heaven on earth, the verse that really gripped me was Psalm 89:14 (NKJV), where the psalmist declares, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face.” In praying the Disciple’s Prayer and meditating on Psalm 89:14, I learned that we are actually praying for God’s righteousness, God’s justice, God’s love, and God’s truth to invade our lives and permeate society. “Heaven on earth” is asking God to invade the earth. Yes, with supernatural salvations, healings, and deliverance—the revival component of His kingdom—but also with His attributes of righteousness, justice, love, and truth, which bring reformation to earth as it is in heaven. For that is what heaven looks like. Revival and Reformation: A Third Great Awakening Since the events of 2020, I have been sharing that we are living in an extraordinary time of global shaking and greater glory. From the onset of the COVID-19 lockdowns to skyrocketing inflation, the extreme progressive Left agenda, and escalating global conflicts everywhere we look, all the nations of the globe have gone through an unprecedented time of shaking. The following ancient biblical prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes: “‘I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of hosts. ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ declares the Lord of hosts.” (Haggai 2:7–9, NASB1995) God is using the darkness we are witnessing today as a backdrop for the great light of revival and reformation to break out. In my 50-plus years of walking with Jesus, I have never seen such a stark contrast between the darkness covering the nations and the greater glory of God being revealed, as Isaiah had prophesied centuries ago. “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:1–3, NASB1995) I believe with all my heart that we are entering into a Third Great Awakening, which will encompass both the darkness getting darker and the light getting brighter. I define a Great Awakening as a national revival and reformation of society. In this case, the revival and reformation will spread throughout the world to other nations. In 2024, I had the privilege of speaking at two campuses of Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI). Under the able leadership of Senior Pastor Niko Njotorahardjo, GBI has 1,200 campuses and a combined membership of 300,000. While numbers alone don’t signify revival, this is a body of Spirit-filled, on-fire believers who are making a difference in their society. Indonesia is now 35 percent born-again believers.(1) To put that in context, despite being the world’s largest Muslim nation, Indonesia has some of the world’s largest churches! The move of the Holy Spirit is truly turning the tide in this island nation. Other places experiencing genuine revival range from Brazil and Latin America to Nigeria, India, China, and the underground church throughout the Middle East. My friends Rolland and Heidi Baker are transforming Mozambique, another Muslim nation, through Iris Ministries. The World Christian Database (WCD), one of the most authoritative sources on religious statistics, offers invaluable reference materials on all parts of the world. Its figures on China are particularly startling. According to the WCD, the country’s Christian population exploded from under 1 million in 1970 to around 120 million today. That’s over 9 percent of the country’s entire population, and the number of believers is expected to grow to 220 million by 2050.(2) If these numbers are even close to accurate, it would make the story of Chinese Christianity probably the greatest harvest in church history—and that is just one nation. Tens of thousands of souls are being born again every day, primarily in the Global South. God is on the move like never before! ******************** Pray with me: Father, as we move into worldwide revival and reformation, we decree again as You instructed us: Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. As Ché informs us, this is a prayer, not only for revival but for reformation. We also pray Psalm 89:14, asking for Your righteousness, justice, love, and truth to invade our lives, nation, and the nations of the world. We know the earth is ripe for this outpouring. You have and will continue to shake the nations in order to create further readiness for this great revival and reformation. You said You would fill the earth with Your glory, and we ask for this now. We declare Isaiah 60:1-3, that Your light has come and Your glory is rising upon us. Nations will come to this light, and kings to its brightness. Continue to pour out Your Spirit in Indonesia, Brazil, Iran, China and elsewhere. But we also ask for a great expansion into other nations of the earth. And we ask for the preparation in the church to continue, as Ché’s book so powerfully addresses. We ask this in Christ’s name, amen. Our decree: We decree that we will move with Holy Spirit into earth’s greatest revival and reformation. ************************************ Today’s post was contributed by Ché Ahn and is taken from his new book Blueprints for Transformation, published by Servant Leader Publishing.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/i-believe-in-miracles-and-they-are-happening-again I Believe In Miracles—And They Are Happening Again! April 4, 2025 Introduction One of our favorite guest contributors for Give Him 15 is our friend Cheryl Sacks. Just the other day, Cheryl sent us a timely word that I feel is appropriate for me to share today, the day of the Healing Summit in Ohio. You will be encouraged and inspired by her words. Join us tonight by livestream and believe for YOUR healing. Today’s title is: I Believe in Miracles — And They Are Happening Again! In Dutch’s recent Give Him 15 posts, he spoke of a mighty wave of God’s glory that is beginning to roll in—a wave of healing, deliverance, and salvation. He reminded us that on the Hebrew calendar, we are in the month of Nisan, which is historically marked by miracles. (Read The Month of Miracles GH15 post here) Those in my generation have lived through seasons of extraordinary supernatural activity—things our children and grandchildren have yet to see, but I am confident they will. We remember ambulances pulling up to healing crusades, people near death carried in on stretchers—and walking out healed and whole. We saw limbs grow out and, in some cases, entirely new limbs where there had been none before. My husband, Hal, and I witnessed such miracles firsthand. When the Power of God Fell One unforgettable night, Hal took his mom to a Kathryn Kuhlman crusade at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. What happened that evening was far more than a story about a healing evangelist—it was a glimpse into how God’s power can move through anyone willing to believe that He still performs miracles today. Hal’s mother suffered pain from a disintegrated disc. She also experienced chronic complications after having part of her colon surgically removed. Hal went to the meeting in faith, believing God would heal his mom—but also believing for something even more impossible: the healing of his sister Merrily. At the time, Merrily was in a catatonic state, locked in a padded cell at Camarillo State Mental Hospital. While touring with the rock band Jefferson Airplane, she became addicted to drugs and deeply entangled in the occult. Her mind was shattered, and demons tormented her. Hal had brought an item of her clothing with him that night, standing in proxy for her deliverance (see Acts 19:12). The service had barely begun when Kathryn pointed to the balcony—right to the spot where Hal and his mother were sitting. “I see the most unusual healing power hovering right there over the balcony,” she declared. “I’ve never seen anything like it!” At that moment, something like electricity surged through Hal’s body. “It felt like I was plugged into a 220-volt socket,” he later told me. Immediately, he turned and prayed for his mom. She twisted and turned in her seat. No pain. Instantly healed. She jumped to her feet and ran toward the platform to tell Kathryn what the Lord had done. Hal sat there awestruck, thinking, “Wait . . . Mom could barely walk into this building!” Weeks later, when Hal’s mom returned to her doctor—who was Jewish—he was in disbelief. Not only was the disintegrated disc regenerated, but X-rays revealed that the inches of colon previously removed had somehow been restored. “This can’t be,” he said, studying the scans. But he couldn’t deny what the X-rays confirmed. The Messiah he didn’t believe in had clearly done what medicine could not. Back in the auditorium, the Spirit of God was still moving. Hal noticed the woman next to him—elderly, wearing large hearing aids. Her husband explained that even with the devices, she could barely hear a word. Hal laid his hands on her ears and prayed. After a few seconds, Hal asked her to remove her hearing aids and turn away from him. He whispered, “Say, ‘Praise the Lord.’” “Praise the Lord,” she responded. “Say, ‘Jesus healed me.’” “Jesus healed me . . . Oh my God, I can hear!” she screamed, bursting into tears. But the Lord wasn’t finished. Remembering his sister, Hal held the piece of Merrily’s clothing in his hands and prayed for a miracle. The next morning, Hal’s mother received a call from Merrily’s doctor. His voice was trembling. “Mrs. Sacks . . . I wonder if you can shed some light on something that just happened. I’m really shaken.” As he did every day, the doctor had walked into Merrily’s room and said, “Hello, Merrily. How are you doing this morning?” For months, there had been no response—just a blank stare. But that morning, Merrily looked him in the eyes and said, “I’m fine, doctor. Jesus came into my room last night and healed me!” There was no other explanation. It was a documented miracle. One week later, Merrily was released—healed, restored, and completely in her right mind. A Living Room Healing Meanwhile, halfway across the country, I was a young high school teacher living in Dallas during the height of the Charismatic Renewal. Everyone in my circles was reading the Bible—believing it and doing what it said. My roommate, Ruth, had her car stolen, and was riding the city bus to work. She evangelized everyone who would listen, often bringing total strangers home to our apartment for prayer. One day, Ruth stopped by the 7-Eleven and asked the cashier how he was doing. He told her he had cancer and was scheduled for surgery the following week. Without hesitation, she said, “Come over to our apartment on your break. My roommate and I will pray for you, and you’ll be healed.” An hour later, I walked into our living room to find a complete stranger on our couch. When I heard we were about to pray for a man with cancer, I gulped. But I laid my hands on his head and prayed for the power of God to come into his body and burn out the cancer. While doubts feverishly danced in my head, a spirit of faith rose inside me. I declared he was healed! A few weeks later, Ruth saw the man again at the 7-Eleven. He was beaming. “When I went in for my pre-op appointment, I told the doctor to do another X-ray,” he said. “‘You won’t find a thing,’ I told him.” Sure enough, the doctor came back amazed. “How did you know?” “Well,” the man replied, “two really good friends of mine prayed, and God healed me.” Faith Wears Shoes I heard another story that beautifully illustrates how God’s miraculous power is manifested in the most practical ways. A mother with five children couldn’t afford new shoes. She bought one pair for each child, always a couple sizes too big, hoping they would last two years. But one daughter’s shoes arrived at least two sizes too small—and there was no way to return them. The mother brought the shoes to a healing service and asked the pastor to pray over them. Moved with compassion, he was about to offer her money for a new pair—but the Lord interrupted him. “No,” God said. “She came believing Me for a miracle.” The girl tried to put the shoes on, but they wouldn’t fit. So the pastor prayed. This time, the shoes slid on perfectly. Not only did they fit—they lasted three years.(1) The Wave Is Rising This same wave of healing, deliverance, and salvation is building again. And this time, God isn’t just releasing it through a few anointed individuals. He’s moving through ordinary believers—people like you and me who dare to believe! You don’t need a stage. You don’t need a title. You just need to be willing to step out in faith and obedience. God will do the rest. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you (Romans 8:11). Miracles are happening again. And they can happen through you. Pray with me: Lord, we thank You that Your healing power is being poured out in this hour. As healing meetings are convened this month, awaken Your people to believe again. Use not just leaders—but every willing believer—to carry Your glory. Let miracles flow in living rooms, churches, streets, and schools. Our decree: We decree that we will step into this wave with boldness and fearless obedience. And we decree that our children—and our children’s children—will see God’s mighty wonders with their own eyes and carry His miraculous power to their generation! ********************************* You can learn more about Cheryl and her husband Hal’s work at PrayerSaturated.life and BridgeBuilders.net Click on the link below to watch the full video. ------------------------------------------------------- Footnote for Faith Wears Shoes: Witnessed by Deanna Dutton, co-pastor of Without Walls, Mesa, Arizona when she was a child sitting on the front row of the church her father pastored.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/it-s-here IT'S HERE! April 3, 2025 Introduction (The conservative candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court was defeated Tuesday. We prayed for conservative values and the Constitution to prevail, and many of you gave your time for the cause. Thank you! God will honor your gift. While I am disappointed, my faith is not shaken. God is restoring our nation and will continue to do so; He knows how to reverse setbacks. Remain strong, immovable in your faith. And today’s post will help. I should mention that Wisconsin voters did choose to require a Voter ID, and that is huge.) The title of today’s post is: IT’S HERE! It has been a little over 35 years since Holy Spirit gave me an open vision that would be part of charting the course for my life. The vision was about revival and the coming great awakening. I’ve shared it before on Give Him 15, but it is appropriate for today. While teaching a class on prayer, suddenly, I began seeing – not what was before me physically – but a spiritual vision. I saw thousands of young people in a stadium or arena passionately worshiping and crying out to God. The scene changed, and they left the stadium. I watched as they arrived back in their hometowns as balls of fire. Everywhere they went, the fire of revival sprang up. As I prayed about this, Holy Spirit said He was showing me what was coming: that there would be a Third Great Awakening, which would begin with the young generation. As you can imagine, I was deeply impacted. A month later, Ceci and I went to Washington, D.C., for a few days to participate in the National Day of Prayer. Upon arrival, I was told of a unique event taking place all that week called a Biblethon. A canopy tent and small PA system were set up on the Capitol lawn. Individuals signed up for 15-minute slots, and the entire Bible – Genesis through Revelation – was read over the Capitol and nation 24/7 for the entire week. Those participating didn’t choose the passages they read; each one had to start where the last person stopped. When the entire Bible was finished, they started again in Genesis. Upon arrival in D.C., a friend told me of this Biblethon and said, “I knew you would want to participate in this, and the slots were almost gone, so I signed you up.” “Yes! That’s awesome,” I replied. “The only slots still available were through the night, so I signed you up at 2:00 AM tomorrow night,” he said with a smile. Instantly, I heard Holy Spirit say, “Through the passage of Scripture you read in the Biblethon, I’m going to confirm what I told you after the vision – that another great awakening will occur, and will begin with the young people.” We should never demand that the Lord do things our way. He doesn’t respond well to that! I was absolutely not doing this, but my response to Holy Spirit was, “Sir, I could find the concept of revival in ANY 15-minute reading of Scripture. Any! Whether the passage be about holiness, righteousness, love, You judging evil, a miracle, someone You used, etc., I could get the meaning of revival from it. I trust You, but I don’t trust myself in this situation. I am not trying to manipulate or force You to conform to my demands, but because of the Scriptures You’ve been speaking to me from in my ‘quiet times,’ there is only one way I would know for certain that a passage was confirming that word: if I get to read either the book of Haggai or Habakkuk.” Haggai is two chapters long, Habakkuk is three. There are 1189 chapters in the Bible. I knew the odds were almost impossible that the reading progression would have arrived at one of these books just when it was my time to read. But that’s what I told the Lord. When I arrived at the Biblethon tent the next night, thirty minutes early as instructed, they were nowhere near Haggai or Habakkuk. Someone was reading from the gospels. I didn’t want the Lord to feel badly about being unable to have them at one of the passages I requested, so I assured Him it was okay, and that I still believed the vision and word were from Him. I knew He was comforted! A few minutes before my time slot, the lady in charge approached and told me I was next. Then her expression changed; she looked at me strangely and departed from protocol, saying, “Mr. Sheets, you have your choice; you can read either the book of Haggai or Habakkuk.” I was stunned! God was saying, “Not only can I arrange it so you can read one of those two books, I can do better than that. You said ‘Haggai or Habakkuk.’ Okay, you have your choice, son: Haggai or Habakkuk.” That, my friend, is how much the Lord wanted me—and wants you—to know He is going to send a Third Great Awakening, beginning with young people. I have been waiting for 35 years to see in realty what I saw in this vision. I have now seen it. Two days ago, Ceci sent me a video clip, adding the words: “Your vision!” As I watched it, tears began to flow and I said, “This is it. It’s here.” The video is from a Passion Worship Gathering in 2024, just over a year ago. This particular clip has had over 10 million views. I am not sure why we are just seeing it, but the timing of when this gathering occurred is right. Many have been saying for a year or so that revival has begun with the young people in America. This is being confirmed over and over by what is occurring on college campuses across the nation. Regarding the video: I have been blessed to have been in many worship times as strong as this one, even in large gatherings, such as The Call events with Lou Engle. But this one is the scene I saw in 1990. It is primarily younger people, no hype or manipulation, not music driven, just tens of thousands of young people in awe of and overwhelmed with Jesus. The lingering presence of Holy Spirit, the expressions of adoration on their faces, the depth of what was occurring - this is what I saw in the vision. The Third Great Awakening has begun. Find a quiet place where you won’t be distracted. Use the link below, watch the video, and be blessed. It’s approximately 20 minutes long. Don’t just listen to it – watch it! If you’re older and don’t know how to do so, have someone assist you, but watch it if you can. Pray with me: Father, in Habakkuk, You said to “Write down the vision…So that one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hurries toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it” (Habakkuk 2:2-3). Like the shepherds at the time of Christ’s birth who then waited many years for Jesus to explode on the scene, we have waited over 30 years for this great awakening. It has begun. Now, we ask for the fire to explode all over this nation. Shake the earth and send “the desire of all nations” to us. Fill this nation and the nations of the earth with the greater glory (Haggai 2:6-9). Cause this fire to consume the strongholds and plans of the enemy. As wax melts before the fire, consume Your enemies (Psalm 68:2). Come as You spoke of in Malachi, “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of armies, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branches” (Malachi 4:1 NASB). And Lord, prepare us for the fire of revival. We pray that no traditions of men, preconceived ideas, or wrong expectations will hold us back. Blow the lid off. Rock the boat. Stretch our wineskins and challenge our paradigms. Give us new wine, fresh wind, and an abundance of rain. We ask for the greatest, biggest, and most far-reaching revival in history. Outdo Yourself, Holy Spirit. In Yeshua’s name! Amen. Our decree: We declare that Jesus, the desire of the nations, will be revealed in His glory throughout the world. ******************************** Here is the link to the video from Passion Conference 2024: LINK Watch the complete video by clicking the link below.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/i-must-have-america “I Must Have America” April 1, 2025 When approaching graduation from Christ For The Nations Bible Institute, Ceci and I were confident we would end up on “the mission field,” as we called foreign missions back then. America had so many churches and laborers; we wanted to go where the need was more significant. Opportunities in four nations were on our radar; our bags were practically packed. Then, something strange occurred. While praying one day, Holy Spirit spoke to me, “The Bible College is going to offer you a position, and you’re to accept it.” “Where did that come from?” I thought. This was nowhere on our radar! Sure enough, within days, the offer came, and we said yes. We thought we would serve there for a short time, then go to another nation. We continued to pray for other nations faithfully and fervently, as well as sow financially all that we possibly could into missions. Over the next few years, we served in a couple of other ministries, all the while holding onto the dream and wondering why the Lord would not release us to move somewhere overseas. Finally, Holy Spirit broke through our preconceived notions of being foreign “missionaries.” “America is your mission field,” He said, “I need you here. And by serving Me here, you will serve Me abroad.” My first thought was, That can’t be God speaking. America has more preaching and teaching than anywhere in the world. I want to go where the need is greatest. Little did I know… By the late 80s, I could see where America was heading, including the American church. My heart had become greatly concerned, at times overwhelmed with grief (and yes, sometimes anger). I saw that the great Charismatic and Jesus People movements, while bringing many to Christ in America, was not transforming the culture and society as a whole. An eschatological mindset that Jesus was coming soon, and that we could, therefore, ignore the cultural institutions and remain focused only on seeing people saved was dominant. Other theological beliefs also contributed to the church not focusing on discipling the nation, as Jesus had commissioned us (Matthew 28:18-20). The result? After one of history’s greatest revivals, America was actually losing ground spiritually, becoming further from God and His ways. As I mentioned, I saw this coming in the 80s and watched it pick up steam in the 90s as the church–God’s instrument of change–failed to wake up and take action. Many churches were growing; mega-churches were springing up, bringing a false sense of success. Although most of the growth was only transfer growth, not conversions, many leaders would not accept the reality that we were losing ground. Also, America’s economy was doing well, and much of the deterioration taking place in the nation was still hidden underground. The foundations were crumbling, however, and as this devolution progressed, it eventually became clear that without supernatural intervention, America would not recover. In ‘99 and 2000, I had had two dramatic visitations from the Lord, in which He brought to fullness a 20-year process of mantling me for my calling to America. In the second of these impartations, as I wept with Him for three and a half hours over America’s lost condition, the Lord clearly said to me, “For what I am going to do among the nations in this season of history, for the harvest I am going to reap in the earth, I must have America.”(1) I share this today to remind us all that the restoration God is doing at this time in America is not just for America. I don’t claim to speak for President Trump or other Americans, but for myself – and I believe where God is concerned – “America first” means: fix and heal America first, so that she is strong and prosperous enough to be the instrument God needs at this time in history. For our nation in general, this means being used by God for various things. For the church, however, it will mean accomplishing Mark 16:15-20 and Matthew 28:18-20: saving people and discipling nations for Christ. Just as with Abraham, America’s great blessings are not just for us. God told Abraham that the blessings coming to him, his descendants, and his nation were also so He could bless the world through them. This is true of America, as well: we are blessed to bless. I want revival and reformation in America so that we can be used to further revival and reformation around the world. My calling to America is a calling to the nations. Join me, for this noblest of callings is to all of us. With this in mind, I leave you with the following encouragement and call to prayer. Revival In the Middle East CBN News states: “Amid talk of a broader war in the Middle East, there is also news that a Jesus Revolution may be underway. An unprecedented number of Muslims are choosing to follow Christ, especially in Iran, as people search for a better life. “Iranians are growing tired of the ayatollahs and a nation led by the empty promises of their Islamic theocracy. An anonymous internal poll found that 80% now prefer a democratic government, and many are leaving Islam. “According to Todd Nettleton, Vice President of Messaging at VOM [Voice of the Martyrs], the faith option many are choosing is Jesus with at least a million Muslims reportedly leaving Islam for Christianity. So, how is the regime reacting to this, with a reported 50,000 of the country’s 75,000 mosques now closed? “‘This is not something that is making the regime happy. And, really, in many ways, they are seeking to solidify their power and to crush any kind of dissent,’ Nettleton said. ‘We have heard multiple stories this year of a Bible study, a home church being raided. Everyone there is photographed, everyone there is questioned. But then the leader of the meeting is held on to. They are arrested, they are detained, they’re put in prison.’”(2) Though great persecution is taking place in other parts of the world, it is also true that the greatest harvest of souls in history has begun. Pray for this to continue and increase exponentially. Pray for our brothers and sisters around the world who suffer because of their faith in Christ. And yes, pray for America – He needs us. Pray with me: Father, Holy Spirit is on a great mission, which will not fail, to make the kingdoms of this world “the Kingdom of our Lord of his Christ” (Revelation 11:15). Our part in this glorious and unfailing cause is to win people to Christ through the preaching of the gospel, and discipling nations to the principles of the Kingdom. In Your heart, the nations are intertwined, flowing physically from one man, Adam, and spiritually from one man, Jesus Christ. What we do to save and transform America is also to save and transform the nations. Ultimately, Your glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. We pray for the revival that has begun in the Middle East to now grow and intensify. Save a billion Muslims and Jews in this hour. And as many of our brothers and sisters there suffer for Your name’s sake, we honor and pray for them. They are true heroes of the faith. Give them strength, encouragement, and perseverance; may their faith not fail them in times of testing. Though the pain and loss they experience is great, please remind them of the great reward they will receive – that their suffering is not in vain. Comfort them through Holy Spirit’s great love. And we pray for the votes taking place today in Wisconsin. Please grant us favor, moving the hearts of conservatives to get out and vote. We also ask that You move on the hearts and minds of undecided voters to vote for righteousness. Awaken them to the damage caused by Leftist and Marxist ideologies; help them to see clearly the fruit of these destructive mindsets. Please continue to move among the young people in America. Send revival. Send fire. Send awakening. Save America. Save the nations. Glorify Jesus! We pray for all of this in His mighty name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the glory of the Lord will cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). ************************************ Click on the link below to watch the full video. --------------------------------------------------------- More of this story is told in my book Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation: Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Tim Sheets, Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation (Shippensburg, PA: Destiny Image Publishers, second edition), pp. 17-18. https://cbn.com/news/world/irans-jesus-revolution-mosques-close-1-million-muslims-accept-christ

https://www.givehim15.com/post/a-mighty-wave-is-coming A Mighty Wave is Coming March 31, 2025 We have entered the Hebrew month of Nisan (March 30-April 28 on our calendars). It is known as “The month of miracles.” This was the time in which God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, using great miracles. It also is the timeframe in which He said, “I am the Lord your healer” (Exodus 15:26). I believe God is using this “anniversary” and its significance to launch a new phase of Holy Spirit’s outpouring. A mighty wave of signs, wonders, and miracles is beginning throughout the earth. It will be unprecedented, not in its level of power, but in its scope and reach. This wave of the supernatural will be part of the greatest awakening earth has ever experienced. Many of the miracles will be captured by technology and seen throughout the world, causing multitudes to realize God is real and Jesus is the Savior, just as it occurred in Scripture. I love what the observers said when Jesus healed a paralyzed man in Mark 2:10-12: “But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” (KJV) The Passion Translation says the people were “awestruck” and said, “We’ve never seen anything like this before.” The margin says the word awestruck could be translated as “shocked into wonderment” or “out of their minds with amazement.” God is about to blow people’s minds with his wonderful works! These healings will be different than the normal process of a person asking for and “laying hold” of their healing by faith (First Timothy 6:12). This will be a manifestation of the gifts of Holy Spirit spoken of/referenced in 1 Corinthians 12. Those who have very little or even no faith, including unbelievers, can receive miracles through these gifts of the Spirit. Prodigals, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Christians – people of all faiths and backgrounds will receive miracles, performed in the name of Jesus. Those who are walking in faith, of course, will also receive healings and miracles, as well as those who have none. Evangelists will begin moving in signs and wonders at a much higher level, as they preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. However, ALL believers can and will participate in this increased level of the supernatural. Our part is not to guarantee healings or hype people’s emotions (and call it faith), and we should resist using miracles to build a following. Our responsibility is simply to obey Christ by asking for healing with motives of serving people and promoting Christ. The two reasons we are conducting the Healing Summit this upcoming Friday night in Middletown, Ohio, are simple: we want to see people healed, and we want these gifts of the Spirit to be imparted throughout the world. That which is being birthed is both for the individual and to impact the masses. Healings and the impartation of gifts will occur, not because of the leaders conducting the service – the night is not about anyone other than Christ. They will occur because 1) it is time for this worldwide wave to roll, and 2) prayers will be offered and agreed with by millions of people around the world. Prayer releases the will of God. Join us if you can. It is wonderful to be in a room where the power of God is moving, and we will pray personally for all in attendance who desire prayer for healing. (Please register at oasiswired.org/healingsummit; this helps guarantee all can be accommodated.) Or, of course, you can join us online; thousands will do so. If you are gathering as a congregation to join us online or to conduct your own healing service, which many are doing, feel free to let us know at oasiswired.org, and we will post the location. Plus, it is encouraging to know that others are participating. (You will not be asked for money!) Those of us involved are sensing a greater weight on this gathering than the previous Summits, although those were powerfully anointed of the Lord, and many people were healed. Please pray with us for the hand of the Lord to move in extraordinary ways Friday night (April 4th) to release miracles, and a season of the miraculous. Not just here in America, but throughout the world. The Judicial System I would be remiss if I did not ask you to pray once again regarding the Supreme Court election being held tomorrow in Wisconsin. It will have national ramifications (millionvoices.org/wi & Newsmax). Please pray that God moves on the heart of every conservative in the state to get out and vote. Pray that He turns the hearts and minds of those still undecided as to who they will vote for. Ask God for favor and grace to be given us in this election. And let’s continue to pray regarding the Judges trying to interfere with President Trump and his team. Pray that conservatives in Congress take action and stop this through legislation, and that the Supreme Court rules against these judges when the case comes before them. We knew the left would not lay down and give up in their efforts to maintain control over America. And we must not relinquish our efforts to pray against their actions and plans. Pray for DOGE and its efforts to find, expose, and stop the waste and fraud taking place in America. What they are discovering is abominable. Pray that God continues to expose the abuses and reform our nation. And lastly, pray for the revival that has begun on college campuses. Ask God to stoke the flames, causing them to burn with intensity and strength. Continue to cry out for millions of young people to be saved in America and around the world. Jesus loves every one of them and is coming with revival to rescue their generation. Pray with me: Father, we pray today that You would do through us what You did through the early church and many others down through the ages: stretch forth Your hand to heal. Release great grace, great power, and great miracles (Acts 4:33, 6:8). We are told that the miracles released in Acts gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:33). Do this once again, just as You have many times in the past. Just as Peter discerned that it was time for the great miracle at Gate Beautiful in Acts 3, we are discerning that it is time for an upsurge in miracles. At least 5000 people were saved that day; we ask for miracles in our generation that produce many times this number of conversions. We ask for healings and miracles to take place this Friday night (April 4th), in Ohio and around the world. And we ask for the gifts of Your Spirit that produce miracles to be released throughout the world. We ask this for the glory of Christ and the cause of the great harvest. We also pray regarding the elections tomorrow in Wisconsin. Move upon the hearts of conservative values voters. Motivate them to get out and vote. Move on the hearts and minds of those still considering for whom they will vote. Turn them in Your direction. Protect the vote. And we pray for our President, our Congress, and our judicial system. Move upon those in Congress to enact legislation that will keep unelected district judges from ruling our nation. Move upon the Supreme Court to make decisions that align with our Constitution and with You. And now Lord, as this mighty company of believers agrees in prayer for these things, doing so in the name of Jesus, we thank You in advance for Your answers. Amen. Our decree: We decree that “the month of miracles” will birth a mighty wave of the supernatural throughout the earth. ******************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/help-turn-the-tide Help Turn The Tide Mrch 28, 2025 “Finally, dear brothers and sisters, pray for us that the Lord’s message will continue to spread rapidly and its glory be recognized everywhere, just as it was with you. And pray that God will rescue us from wicked and evil people, for not everyone believes the message.” ‭‭(2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭TPT‬‬) Passages such as these make clear the incredible importance of prayer, and also that God’s will is not automatic or guaranteed simply because of His sovereignty. As I stated in yesterday’s post, we involve Holy Spirit through our prayers. In these verses, Paul says that prayer is needed in order for the Lord’s message to spread rapidly and its glory be recognized. The success of the gospel is linked to our prayers. Incredible. He also instructed us in this passage to pray for rescue from “wicked and evil” people. The word “wicked” comes from the Greek word atopos.(1) The note in The Passion Translation says this Greek word can also be translated as “weird,” “irrational,” “absurd,” and “disgusting.” “Evil” in the above verses is translated from poneros(2). Thayer’s Lexicon says this word can refer to “a bad condition in a physical sense, such as being diseased or blind, and in an ethical sense: evil, wicked, bad.” In what is often referred to as The Lord’s Prayer, the word is used to reference satan as the “evil one” (Matthew 6:13). Using these definitions, we are told to pray for rescue from “wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil” people. It is pretty easy to apply some of these terms to what goes on in our government today. Insisting that toddlers have enough understanding to want to change their gender and allowing confused children to be castrated is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil. Sending drag queens to indoctrinate innocent kindergartners is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil. Allowing criminals to go free and walk our streets to steal, rape, and murder is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting and evil. Encouraging Americans to harm those they disagree with and destroy other people’s property is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting, and evil. Many people coming into our nation illegally simply want a better life; some, however, are bad people and come for other reasons. To willfully allow them – murderers, rapists, gang members, drug dealers, and terrorists – to pour into our nation is wicked, weird, irrational, absurd, disgusting and evil. The good news is that we are told prayer can rescue us from the efforts of these individuals. Prayer can also deliver some of them. Let’s persevere in our intercession for a great revival, which will not only save people’s hearts, but deliver depraved minds. Let’s pray for the Lord’s message to continue to spread rapidly and its glory to be recognized. Our prayers matter – appealing to heaven still works. And here is one more issue we must pray about. The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday, April 1, is of paramount importance for not only Wisconsin, but the entire nation. It will significantly influence the state’s judicial landscape and, by extension, its governance. Liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority; one of them is retiring, creating an opportunity to flip the court. The outcome will shape decisions on critical issues such as election integrity, regulatory policies, and individual rights. For conservatives, a majority on the court would create an opportunity to uphold constitutional principles and promote a limited government approach. The judiciary plays a crucial role in interpreting laws and ensuring that legislative actions align with the Constitution. A conservative majority could counteract judicial activism, ensuring that judges adhere to the original intent of the law rather than imposing personal ideologies. Also, the court’s decisions on economic and regulatory issues directly impact Wisconsin’s business climate. A conservative majority is likely to favor policies that promote economic growth, reduce regulatory burdens, and support the rights of businesses and property owners. This could lead to a more favorable environment for job creation and innovation. Additionally, election integrity is a pressing concern for many conservatives. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has the authority to adjudicate disputes regarding election laws, including voter ID requirements and mail-in voting regulations in their state. A conservative court could reinforce measures aimed at securing fair elections, thereby restoring public confidence in the electoral process. AP News reported that “On Monday night [March 24], Democratic U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told supporters that electing Crawford [the liberal judge] was important so she and other liberal justices can order a redraw of congressional boundary lines…‘As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that and have fair lines,’ Jeffries said in a live discussion on the social media platform X. ‘The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court.’”(3) “Fair” and “enlightened” are two words Jeffries and the Left define very differently than Mr. Webster. This election is seen by them as a way to gerrymander the House districts and retake the U.S. House of Representatives. This would halt the progress of Trump and conservatives in Congress as we restore our nation to truth, our original foundations, and frankly, sanity. The stakes are high. The election is seen as so important that as of Tuesday [March 25], $81 million has been spent on this one race, most of it coming from outside Wisconsin. If you live in Wisconsin, please vote. All of us can pray. Pray with me: Father, we are moved by the thought of being Your co-laborers. What a staggering truth! You have made us partners in Your great cause of releasing Christ’s redemption throughout the earth. Whether it be writing a letter, making a phone call, or offering up prayers, we are honored to work together with You. Please breathe upon this election in Wisconsin, and give us a more biblically based Supreme Court there. We ask You to thwart the efforts of those who work against Your principles and ways. We continue to pray for those in our national government whom You are using to bring reformation. Give President Trump, his Cabinet, and legislators great wisdom as they develop and implement strategies. Continue to expose the rampant theft and fraud that has taken place. Open the file cabinets and expose the hidden files, as You have said You would do. Continue to awaken the American people – bring this nation to its senses! And lastly, You told me years ago that the third great awakening in America would begin with the young people. This has now begun – You are pouring out Your Spirit on campuses throughout the nation. We ask that this not only continue but intensify, and that no effort from satan to defile it would succeed. Guard it jealously. Throw more oil on it, causing it to burn with holy fire and great intensity. Bless the endeavors of those You are using; give them provision, anointing, and great success. All of these things we ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen. Our decree: We decree that the good work God has begun in our nation will continue and not be thwarted. ********************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ------------------------------------------------------------ James Strong, The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1990), ref. no. 824.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/the-power-of-purpose The Power of Purpose March 27, 2025 “‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’” (Jeremiah 29:11 NASB) Three Important Words Many people consider this verse only when in difficult situations, using it to inspire hope that God has a plan for their deliverance or recovery. Though certainly including this, the verse has a much broader meaning. “Future” is from a Hebrew word that includes the meaning of destiny.(1) The New King James Version at times translates it this way. As I said in yesterday’s post, “plans” is from a word meaning “to weave, plait, or mix.”(2) It can even refer to craftsmen inventing musical instruments, artistic objects, weapons, and other objects. The concept is simple: combining two or more substances to create something new. When used in reference to the mind, it refers to thoughts mixing together to form plans. God has plans for our future that involve more than rescue operations. They are His all-wise thoughts, woven together into plans before we are even born (Psalm 139:16) that become a hope-filled destiny. We can have confidence that we are more than a meaningless blip on eternity’s radar screen. God has assignments for us to accomplish, people whose lives we are to impact, prayers we are to pray, and more. “Hope” is a word that means more than a pleasant expectation regarding the future; it is also the word for a cord or tether.(3) Fascinating. Hope “connects” us to our future. Conversely, a lack of hope can cause us to give up on life, thereby disconnecting us from our future. Knowing and believing God has good plans and a destiny for us is more than optimism; this understanding and assurance actually connects us to that plan. This hope also forms a path or track upon which to travel. We no longer wander aimlessly, but follow the roadmap God gives us as we confidently seek Him daily (Proverbs 3:5-6). Life becomes a secure, meaningful journey, not a maze of endless dead-ends and wrong turns. Governmental Destinies God destines some people to be leaders, including leadership in government. Donald Trump now believes that God saved his life in order for him to play a significant role in saving America. This belief has become a purpose that produces passion, a path that provides direction, and a cord connecting him to God. A belief in destiny, as President Trump now possesses, creates incredible motivation, discipline, and focus. There are others in our government whom I am sure also realize they are there by God‘s design and calling. The concept of a “calling” is not limited to the religious world. Adam was called to be a gardener, David was called to be a shepherd and king, Abraham was called to be a rancher. God used these individuals mightily as they carried out responsibilities and careers we would normally not consider “spiritual.” Many individuals in vocations we would not consider spiritual do more to influence the world than those in so-called “spiritual” vocations. Are we to believe God does not “call” people to and equip them for this level of influence in government and other influential arenas? Of course He does. This means we must pray for God‘s gifts, anointing, and wisdom to be given them in their assignments. Do President Trump, his cabinet, and his advisors need this God-given help less than Moses, David, Josiah, or other leaders in the Scriptures? Do Mike Johnson and other legislators need this less than Joseph, Daniel, or Joshua? These people today are making decisions that influence the entire world! We should pray that they seek God and hear His voice. We should ask that Holy Spirit’s help be given them, as well as that of angels. We should ask that revelation of Scripture and insight from dreams be given to them. And, of course, we should pray for their safety and protection from harm, wrong influences, and corruption. I do not find it a stretch to believe that some mistakes made by leaders could have been avoided had people been praying for them. I believe some leaders who have fallen into sin could have been preserved from doing so had people been praying for them. Peter’s ministry and walk with God were undoubtedly saved by Christ’s intercession for him (Luke 22:31-32). Why would we be called to pray for leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-3) if our prayers did nothing? We must accept our responsibility to pray for those in government; part of their success as they serve us will be determined by our faithfulness to pray. The great preacher and orator, Charles Spurgeon, once made the profound statement, “Prayer bends the omnipotence of heaven to your desire. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.”(4) This doesn’t mean our prayers control God; it means they involve Him. Let’s keep Him involved in our nation’s government. Pray with me: Father, thank You for the assurance that we have a purpose, and that our lives were planned by You. You created us with design and intent; we all have a calling and destiny. Teach us to factor this into our decisions and goals, always seeking Your path for us, staying tethered to Your purpose. A purpose we all share is moving Your powerful hand through our prayers. We are honored to partner with You in this way. We do so today by interceding for our government. We pray that President Trump, his cabinet, and his advisors will be given wisdom from You to lead America on a path of restoration. Keep them from wrong decisions and demonic traps. Help them make sound financial, legal, and military decisions. Guide them in their dealings with other nations. Help them reform our nation back to strength and morality. We pray for Congress. Give them the understanding needed to legislate wisely. Give favor to those who honor You and Your ways, remove the voices of those who do not. Deliver us from the political spirit that is so influential and divisive in our nation. We pray for our Justices and Judges. Give them wisdom and understanding. Give us Judges who do not legislate, but who accurately and wisely interpret laws without prejudice or bias. We ask for the removal of those who politicize their positions and who do not honor You. Please continue to cleanse and reform our government and send an outpouring of Holy Spirit to our nation’s leaders. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that we are tethered to the plans and purposes of the Lord for our lives. ************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ---------------------------------------------------------- James Strong, The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1990), ref. no. 319.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/put-god-in-the-mix Put God In The Mix March 26, 2025 Abraham was a dreamer, maybe one of the greatest ever. God liked that about him – at that time in history, He desperately needed a dreaming friend. The Lord had been waiting for him to come along, a man He could partner with to recapture His dream of family. The Redeemer would be born through this man’s family. Their story begins in Genesis 12, where God initiates His plan by instilling a dream in Abraham. “Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you…’” Notice that God began His journey with Abraham by speaking to his dreaming nature. How fascinating is that! “I’m going to make you My partner in rescuing My dream, Abraham. And I’m going to begin by giving YOU a dream.” Why, when looking for someone to help Him recapture His dream, would God approach it this way? He could have just demanded that Abraham do what He wanted. But the Lord is well aware of the strength of our dreaming nature. He placed it there, after all. With this in mind, God knew that for the partnership to endure for a lifetime, Abraham would need freedom to release this God-given nature. It couldn’t be a one-sided dream. Therefore, God began by placing a dream in Abraham’s heart regarding the birthing of a great nation and announced the partnership, “I will make from you a great nation” – Abraham's dream. “And in you, all the families of the earth will be blessed” – God’s dream (Genesis 12). Since God gave us our dreaming nature and has a purpose and destiny for each of us, it seems obvious He would want a voice in our choice of dreams. There is a verse of Scripture that addresses this and has meant a great deal to Ceci and me over the years: “Roll your works on the Lord. Commit and trust them wholly to Him. He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and so shall your plans be established and succeed” (Proverbs 16:3 AMP – classic edition). This wonderful verse seems almost too good to be true. God declares that He will supernaturally shape our thinking and plans, aligning them with His, which will then ensure success. The word plans in this verse comes from a word meaning “to weave, plait, or mix.” It can even refer to craftsmen inventing musical instruments, artistic objects, weapons, and other objects. The concept is simple: combining two or more substances to create something new. When used in reference to the mind, it refers to thoughts mixing together to form plans. This obviously would include dreams. Placing this definition back into the verse, God is saying to us: When you dream, I want to be in the mix. If you will allow Me, I will infuse my thoughts into the process and shape your plans according to the purpose and destiny I have created for you. This will guarantee success. Just as He did with Abraham. What a great promise! I recall a time when Ceci and I were searching for the next phase of God’s calling in our lives. We had recently married, and I was about to graduate from Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. We had four opportunities we were considering. The leading possibilities in our minds were overseas. We were standing on this verse, Proverbs 16:3, from the Amplified Bible. We quoted the verse daily, usually picturing ourselves somewhere in Guatemala or Zimbabwe. Our bags were practically packed. Then, something strange occurred. While praying one day, I had the thought, CFNI is going to offer you a position, and you’re to accept it. “Where did that come from?” I thought. This was nowhere on our radar! Sure enough, within days, the offer came, and we said yes. It probably wouldn’t surprise you to know that those next two years working at CFNI became invaluable preparation for what God has done through us for the last forty-plus years. Proverbs 16:3 had happened. God infused His thoughts into ours, and we listened, allowing Him “into the mix.” Dreaming works out much better when we bring the Author of dreams into the plans! Proverbs 19:21 uses this same word: “Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand.” Most of the time, we humans make our plans and formulate our dreams without bringing God into the process. This began with Adam and Eve’s original sin in Eden. Satan, the tempter, knew he could throw a wrench into God’s dream if he could cause humans to dream without divine influence. God’s plan wasn’t to have a family of independent dreamers; He desired co-dreamers. It was never His plan that we dream apart from Him and His influence – not because He’s a control freak, but because He wanted partners and associates. God wanted someone to dream with and someone to dream through. He needed outlets for His dreams. During the late 1700s, the Lord chose a remarkable destiny for a young man in England, one that would help shape the history of a nation. The movie Amazing Grace tells the true story of William Wilberforce, who led the efforts to eradicate slavery from Great Britain. When asked by his butler after his conversion if he had found God, Wilberforce’s reply was, “I think He found me.” Indeed, God found Wilberforce, who became so joined to His heart and desires that ultimately, no price was too great for the dream. His passion to see slavery end was so overwhelming that it resulted in stomach ailments, nightmares, ridicule, and four decades of tireless work. But days before his death, the decisive vote came to eliminate slavery from England. When the law became formal three days after the vote, Wilberforce’s spirit left this world. Thomas Buxton, a member of the House of Commons at the time, said of Wilberforce, “The day which was the termination of his labors was the termination of his life.”(1) God has need of you, just as He did Wilberforce. Since He never acts without purpose, the fact that you’re alive is proof that you have something this generation needs. Most people, however, go through life pursuing personal careers and goals without ever considering that God wants to dream through their thoughts/plans. Too often, He’s a lonely dreamer. There must be millions of written but unfulfilled destinies in God’s dream book in heaven. The plans, accomplishments, and dreams He wrote about for so many are tragically undiscovered and unrealized. He and His plans never make it into their dream mix. Pray with me: Father, as we are challenged to dream, we look now at the importance of keeping You in the mix. Teach us how to allow Your thoughts, Your ways, and Your heart to leaven the process. You have promised that if we do this, our plans will be established and succeed. You tell us in Your Word that many plans are in a person’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord – Your counsel – will stand. Forgive us for taking You out of the mix in our personal lives, and also for doing so as a nation. We repent on behalf of our nation and ask for the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our rebellion and rejection of You. You have determined that we would be outlets for Your dreams, as would our nation. We choose this day to walk in the fullness of that revelation. Psalm 2 makes clear Your dream of a great harvest in all the nations. You told Jesus to ask You for this, and You would do it. He has asked, and now You will accomplish it. As part of Your dreaming family, we partner with You to see this accomplished. And we do it in the unfailing name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We declare that God is in our thinking, leading us down His paths. Therefore our plans will succeed. ************************* Today’s post was taken from my book Dream, published by Baker Books.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/undistracted-devotion Undistracted Devotion March 25, 2025 Introduction In yesterday’s post, I spoke to you about the nations being given to Christ as His inheritance. Today, let’s focus on us as individuals being part of this inheritance. We are loved by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Today’s title: Undistracted Devotion I like football. Okay, I love football. And for all the NFL fans out there, the Dallas Cowboys may be America’s team, but as any true fan knows, the Denver Broncos are God’s team. That’s why He made the sky blue and sunsets orange. Several years ago, when my younger daughter, Hannah, was only three or four years old, I was enjoying a great Broncos playoff game (my favorite NFL team at the time). Did you catch that? Not just a game – a Broncos playoff game. I had a great fire in the fireplace, had kicked back in my football recliner, and was into a great game. Hannah did not understand football and couldn’t have cared less about the game. She plopped down in my lap and, as kids do, began jabbering about something. She wasn’t talking about anything terribly important – at least, I didn’t think it was all that important. But I was listening…sort of. I was actually dividing my attention between her dialogue and the exploits of John Elway. This is real devotion to my daughter, I thought. Sharing my football time with her childish jabbering. Bronco’s playoff football, at that. What a devoted dad I am. I was doing the typical distracted listening routine, an “uh-huh” here, an “ohhh” there, with a smile or two and a head nod thrown in for added effect. Sure, I was missing a play here or there, but hey, that’s just the price of devotion. Hannah has always been very perceptive. And, of course, she has the female trait of wanting the men in her life to really listen – to the details! I don’t know when that particular gene kicks in for women, but it obviously comes alive at an earlier age than I realized. After a few minutes of my divided attention, Hannah had finally had enough. “Dad,” she said rather sternly as she placed one index finger on each cheek and turned my face away from the TV and directly toward her. “Look me in the eye and listen.” Women manifest these mindsets and tendencies at a young age! With my attitude adjustment, I looked her in the eye and listened! That, my friend, is undistracted devotion. Paul uses these two words, “undistracted devotion,” in 1 Corinthians 7:35, speaking of our commitment to the Lord. The phrase comes from the Greek words aperispastos euprosedros. The literal meaning of the first word is interesting, “Don’t let anything pull or drag you away from something.”(1) With this picture in mind, it became the word for “undistracted.” Devotion is euprosedros. The root word prosedros means “to sit forward or toward” someone or something. Imagine a person sitting in the presence of someone they are completely devoted to, leaning toward them, hanging on every word. The prefix eu means “well,” intensifying the concept to mean “sitting well toward.” In our culture today, we often use a similar phrase, “sitting on the edge of our seats.” Obviously, we mean by this that we’re totally captivated by someone or some performance. Hence, the meaning of “devotion.” Putting the two words together: Don’t let anything or anyone pull you away from your devotion or attraction to Him. Hannah wanted me to give HER some face time, not the TV; she wanted undistracted devotion, demonstrating that she, not the Broncos, was number one. And she was. At that moment, my favorite color wasn’t orange; it was brown, the color of her eyes. God would like some face time with you. He knows you’re busy and can’t live like a monk, giving yourself to nonstop worship and meditation. He’s also aware that you have a family to care for, work to perform, and the need for sleep. He doesn’t want all of your time; He does, however, want some undistracted time. It’s a matter of setting the right priorities. You can’t focus on everything; focus on what matters most. I have found that priorities are heart-related. What means most to me is what I’ll prioritize the most. If we find ourselves uninterested in the pleasure of God’s company, the place to start is with repentance. We should ask God to forgive us of indifference toward Him, and to awaken passion in us. Then begin spending quality time with Him. As we do, hunger for His presence will increase, and we will look forward to those times. As King Solomon was about to begin his reign over Israel, he prayed a prayer God couldn’t resist. “So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” (1 Kings 3:9). The phrase “an understanding heart” should actually be translated as “a hearing heart.” Most translators struggle with the concept of a “hearing” heart, so they don’t word it this way. But the Hebrew word is shama, meaning “to hear.”(2) Solomon asked for a hearing heart. God liked that. In times past, before we had refrigerators, people used icehouses to preserve food. They had thick walls and were well-insulated. In winter, large chunks of ice were taken from lakes, ponds, or streams and laid on the floor, then covered with a thick layer of sawdust to insulate it. This made a great “refrigerator.” One day, a gentleman lost an expensive watch in the icehouse. Due to the thickness of the sawdust, his efforts to find it had failed. Others looked, also in vain. Finally, a small boy slipped into the icehouse when no one was around and promptly found the valuable watch. Surprised, the men asked the young boy how he had so quickly found the valuable timepiece. “I closed the door, lay down on the floor, and was very quiet,” replied the lad. “Pretty soon, I heard it ticking.”(3) Hearts can hear, but only when they’re undistracted. Our problem in hearing God isn’t His refusal to speak but our negligence in getting quiet enough to hear. Silencing the soul (the mind and emotions) is a learned art. The psalmist David spoke of this. “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother” (Psalm 131:2). When we quiet the soul, we can hear His voice in our hearts. God speaks to those who will listen. Slow down a little and let Him into your world. If you do, He’ll allow you into His. He will find the pleasure of your undistracted devotion, and you will experience the pleasure of hearing His heart. Look Him in the eyes and listen. Pray with me: Father, we thank You for Your undivided attentiveness toward us. The Song of Solomon tells us You are ravished by just one glance from our eyes (Song of Solomon 4:9). What pleasure might it bring Your heart when we choose to not only glance, but to gaze, giving You our undivided devotion. You love Your family! We repent today for letting ourselves lose interest in the pleasure of Your company; forgive us for our indifference. Awaken passion in us for Your presence, and guide us as we reset our priorities. Holy Spirit, teach us the art of waiting on You with undivided hearts in order to hear You clearly. You are worthy of our undistracted devotion, sitting on the edge of our seats, watching intently for Your every move, listening to every word You speak. Like Solomon, we ask, “Would You grant to us hearing hearts!” What a change this will make! Jesus, we choose to prioritize You, taking the time to look into Your eyes, and pausing to listen. (Prayer taken from: Song of Solomon 4:9; Matthew 13:15; 1 Corinthians 7:35; Isaiah 50:7; 1 Kings 3:9, 28; 1 Kings 10:24; Psalm 131:2) Our decree: We decree that we will silence the distractions, listen intently to the Lord’s voice, and hear Him with our hearts. ****************************** Today’s post was taken from my book, The Pleasure of His Company, published by Baker Books.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/praying-the-promise Praying The Promise March 24, 2025 It is exciting to change the world as part of God’s international Ekklesia! His praying church is growing and maturing. A simple but powerful insight regarding prayer is what some call “Praying the Promises.” One of the most profound promises in Scripture we can pray and act on is Psalm 2:1-9 (NKJV): “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and His Anointed (Christ/Messiah), saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath and distress them in His deep displeasure: ‘Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.’ I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’” Think about the amazing phenomenon occurring in this passage. Psalm 2 allows us to enter a conversation between the Father and His beloved Son, Jesus, in which Yahweh makes Him an eternal PROMISE! “You are My Son … Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession.” (verses 7-8) This Psalm tells us Jesus was given a great promise for which He had to ask, cooperating with God through prayer. The Father instructed His Son to pray and ask for every nation; they were His inheritance. God loves the nations. He loves America! We know that while on earth, Jesus was a man of disciplined prayer (Hebrews 5:7; Luke 11:1). Surely He asked for the nations! We pray with passion and hope for America because Jesus was promised this nation as His inheritance. And He is granting us more and more insights, revelation, and passion as we do so! This is also why we pray with faith and send missionaries around the earth – because Jesus was promised every nation as His inheritance. And every nation has a growing Ekklesia “Praying the Promise” for their beloved nation. “Several years ago, I was ministering in Toronto. On my last morning there, as I was packing my bags and thinking about my final session, I was also visiting with Holy Spirit. I wasn’t in intercession, and it wasn’t my quiet time. I was simply communing while working, sharing some of my inner thoughts with Him, much the same way I might have done with my wife had she been there. “Suddenly, Holy Spirit spoke to me. It was as natural and matter-of-fact as if two friends were sharing their hearts. ‘Japan is really on My heart this morning,’ Holy Spirit said. “This surprised me. I’ve never thought of God at times having one place on His heart more than others. I’ve always figured He had every place on His heart all the time. And the phrase ‘on My heart’ surprised me as well. It was more than on His mind; this was something deeper – very important to Him. I felt as though He was letting me into His very heart. “He then said to me, ‘I must have Japan. There is tremendous warfare over the nation right now. Would you pray for Japan this morning in your session?’ “How do you like that?! Not a command, as in ‘Pray for Japan!’ But a question, ‘Would You?’ He was asking me! “‘Of course we will, Holy Spirit,’ I said. ‘We would be honored to do that.’ And we did! Such an anointing and burden of prayer came upon the assembly – tears, travail, intense intercession. It went on for about 45 minutes, at which time I had to leave for the airport. They continued – how long, I do not know.”(1) God’s heart was yearning for the nation of Japan. Japan has been promised to Jesus, as has Canada, Mexico, Iraq, China, etc. Every nation has been promised to Him. Jesus loves Japan. Jesus loves the nations! This season finds us in a powerful and anointed time of “Praying the Promise” Yahweh gave Jesus regarding the nations. Holy Spirit has many redemptive purposes now working through the Ekklesia in a massive invasion of planet earth. They are happening in amazing, synergistic ways! Holy Spirit outpourings are occurring in America Angel armies are on the move The Great Communion awakening is taking place Righteous leadership is arising in nations And the Prayer Army is “Praying the Promise” of Psalm 2 Do you think the Father will answer the decree and promise He made to His Son in Psalm 2? YES! Jesus has asked and continues to do so through His Bride, His Ekklesia, you and me. Holy Spirit is orchestrating this partnership of prayer for America and all nations. And our prayers are being progressively answered, manifesting before our very eyes. Conclusion We pray for our nation, not because of a particular political party or candidate, and not from a selfish nationalism. We pray, and we do so with confidence because of the Father’s Promise to Jesus in Psalm 2. Would you take hold of this promise? Would you “Pray the Promise” with Jesus? Pray the simple prayer: “Heavenly Father, I pray with Jesus today and ask that You fulfill Your Promise to Him, giving Him America as His inheritance. Today, I ask for Your Kingdom to COME and Your will to be done in our country.” There is something epic happening in America… There is something epic taking place in the nations… The promise of the Father to His Son (Psalm 2) is being answered right before our eyes! Just over 50 years ago, the Lord began this phase of growing His prayer army. Two books were copyrighted in 1973 that ignited many intercessors: Rees Howells – Intercessor by Norman Grubb (Christian Literature Crusade, copyright 1973), and Shaping History through Prayer & Fasting by Derek Prince (Whitaker House, copyright 1973). Both of these books emphasized the great need to impact the nations for Jesus through prayer and fasting. Each of them demonstrated that God has chosen intercession as the key to shaping history. Back then, most believers were not focused on the nations, including praying for America. Fifty years later, that has changed for America and all nations. Holy Spirit is emphasizing and anointing this awesome promise in Psalm 2. Let’s pray it and release the power of God’s promise to Jesus. Pray with me: Father, we pray and decree Your promise to Jesus that You would give Him the nations as His inheritance. He created the earth and all it contains with His words, redeemed the inhabitants with His blood, and You have declared that He would be King, the Sovereign Ruler over all of it. We now “Pray the Promise.” We ask that America be not just the promised, legal inheritance of Jesus, but the relational and realized inheritance. We ask this as well for all the nations. We know this isn’t institutions and organizations, nor is Christ’s rule a forced dominance or dictatorship. Your relational heart wants to make the inhabitants of the nations Your family and friends, Your heirs, and Christ’s co-heirs. This desire is beyond explanation – the infinite God wants a relationship with finite man. We are grateful beyond words. So now we ask: give Christ the nations. Give Him this billion-soul harvest Holy Spirit has talked about. Give Him the fruit of His labors and sacrifice, the complete harvest from the incorruptible seed He became. John, the beloved, saw this company: “…a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Revelation 7:9). We ask for this in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the Father’s promise to give Jesus the nations will be granted. America shall be saved. *************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. --------------------------------------------------------------- Dutch Sheets, Watchman Prayer (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Publishing Group, 2000), pp. 138-139.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/the-weaponization-of-the-judicial-system The Weaponization of the Judicial System March 20, 2025 As corrupt as some on the Left have become, it should not be surprising that they have leftist judges who will do their bidding. The politicization of many in the Judicial Branch of our government is certainly being demonstrated. America is not approaching a constitutional crisis; we are already in one. The Left has amped up its use of the Judicial system to keep our Executive Branch from doing what “we the people” elected it to do. “Government by temporary restraining order,” as one article describes it, is now the strategy.(1) As I said, we should not be surprised. Did we think the swamp would go down the drain peacefully? They will fight with every effort possible to maintain their control over America. Honesty, integrity, the Constitution – none of these things are deterrents. One of their problems now, however, is that the evils they are fighting to protect are so blatantly dishonest and corrupt that every honest American can see it. We know Biden and his team betrayed our country and broke our immigration laws to bring in millions of illegals, including rapists, murderers, and vicious gangs. Now, liberal judges and liberal members of Congress are fighting to keep these vicious criminals in our country. Biden actually flew many of them in with our hard earned tax dollars, yet they tell us Trump can’t fly them out. Some judges and members of Congress also fight the shutting down of fraudulent programs, including the waste and theft of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. These efforts, they tell us, are to save democracy. There’s a head scratcher: the $36 trillion of national debt is not the problem; DOGE is the real problem. Americans may have for years been uninformed, naïve, and negligent, but the majority of them are not stupid. When politicians and judges want criminals to remain in the land and don’t want taxpayers to know how their money is spent, we might just have a corruption problem. Is there any wonder why most Americans are cynical of our government officials? I can assure you this will get uglier before it is resolved. Just as the Left won’t give up, we who want to see America saved are also determined to win, and are positioned to do so. There is now a bold and patriotic man, whom the Left tried to humiliate and destroy for 10 years, by the way, leading one of our three branches of government. He has put together a team of gifted patriots determined to clean up our government, and they have patriots in Congress working with them. Most importantly of all, a majority of Americans support the process. This threefold cord - Trump and his team, some in Congress and the American people - is determined to save our nation and restore it to greatness and strength. And they are acutely aware that the process, like a radical surgery to remove a tumor, will be messy and painful. But they also know that the procedure is necessary, or the patient will die. This trinity of reformers realizes that the Left in Congress will continue to fight, as will progressive, leftist judges. They know the propaganda and publicity arm of the swamp, the mainstream media, will also continue to fight, as will their indoctrination arm, the current education system. The Left is fighting for its political and ideological life, and will stop at nothing in attempts to maintain its power. Nothing. We, the praying church, must stay informed and engaged. We must pray for our righteous leaders daily, releasing the spiritual force necessary to empower their natural efforts. This is a two-fold effort to save our nation and reposition it to its God-given destiny. We intercessors must war against spiritual forces, while they fight on the governmental and social fronts. The war must be waged in both realms. As you pray, remember that we are not trying to “talk God into” doing this, but are implementing His chosen method, prayer, which releases His authority and power. I quote again the great Jack Hayford, who said: “Prayer is essentially a partnership of the redeemed child of God, working hand in hand with God, toward the realization of His redemptive purposes on the earth.”(2) I conclude with Christ’s instructions in Matthew 6:10, telling us to command His will to be done. “Be done” is the Greek word ginomai.(3) The word means to be created, born, or come into existence; it is used when referencing Christ creating all things in John 1:3 and Hebrews 11:3. We get many of our “gen” words from this word: genus, genes, genetics, gender, genealogy, generation, etc. all having to do with reproduction. When Christ told us to command His will to be done, He was saying, “Command My will to be generated, to come into being for Me.” Obviously, it is not our power that is released in order to accomplish this. It is, however, our voice. We are those through whom Christ works to accomplish His purposes on earth. Jesus is asking us to do for Him what He did for the Father while on earth. Christ said His works were actually those of His Father: “The Father in me, He doeth the works” (John 14:10). Though this was true, Jesus was the one doing the touching and speaking. He was the Father’s conduit. In our representation of Christ, the pattern is the same: He provides the authority, power and directions; we are His hands, feet and voice. Don’t rely only on government officials to cleanse and restore our nation. Release the authority and power of Christ. According to Psalm 2, all nations are part of His inheritance, including America. Let’s make it happen! Pray with me: Father, we are humbled and honored to represent Your Kingdom here on earth. Though Your Kingdom is spiritual, it is no less real, and You want its influence in every activity on earth, every square inch of which belongs to You. Those who think they can overrule You are deceived. You have already promised rule over the nations to Your Son; and He declared in Matthew 28:18 that all authority here on earth was now His. Though we are not called to release Your influence by natural force, we are called to do so spiritually, dealing with spiritual powers operating behind the scenes. We bind them and their efforts to destroy America’s relationship with You and the calling You gave us. We command the generating of Your will in our government and nation: be done! We ask You to release Your influence over individuals, to orchestrate events and circumstances, and to expose evil. We ask You to bring a revival that will save and change the hearts of millions of Americans. You are clearly ripening the harvest fields through Your works and actions. We thank You for this and ask that it continue. Please bring a solution to the rogue judges operating in our nation. Give President Trump, his Justice Department and our legislators wise ideas and strategies. Use them to clean up this mess we pray, in Jesus name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that He who began a good work in America will finish it. ******************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ----------------------------------------------------------- https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/the-legal-move-that-could-stop-anti-trump-lawsuits-in-their-tracks Jack W.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/rogue-judges-and-despotism Rogue Judges and Despotism March 19, 2025 President Trump is in somewhat of a showdown with several judges. Though most judges are honest individuals, the Left has often used liberal judges to do for them what they could not accomplish through Congress. Roe vs. Wade is a glaring example. Through the word “privacy” in our Constitution, judges found the right to kill babies in the womb and made it the law of the land. The Supreme Court finally righted this abominable wrong in 2022. On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court decided it had the right to overrule God and the Bible by redefining marriage, making the right to same-sex marriage the law of the land. Five unelected Justices reversed thousands of years of tradition, and in one of the most arrogant defiances of God in history, “redefined” the first – and arguably the most important – covenant He established on earth. The Justices were Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. In the past few years, we have watched rogue judges (and prosecutors) try to destroy President Trump and those associated with him. Now they are attempting to keep him from exposing and ending fraud in our government, and from deporting violent criminals – who came to America illegally in the first place. If we were not all watching this lunacy take place, it would be beyond belief. Hundreds of congressional leaders and numerous judges don’t want the fraud exposed or the criminals deported! It turns out Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Thomas Jefferson, no novice when it comes to government and the Constitution, warned of judicial extremes. “The great object of my fear is the Federal Judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting with noiseless foot and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step and holding what it gains, is insidiously engulfing the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them.” (Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, 1821)(1) In a letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804, Jefferson warned that giving judges too much control would lead to despotism. A despot, by the way, is a king, tyrant, or other oppressor with absolute, cruel, and unlimited power. This Founding Father stated: “Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.”(2) In a letter to Judge Roane, September 6, 1819, Jefferson restated his concerns regarding the judiciary, contending that the Constitution did not give them control over the other two branches. Had it done so, Jefferson contended that: “The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.”(3) In a letter to Diplomat William Jarvis (September 28, 1820), Jefferson again warned that making the Supreme Court the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional issues would lead to despotism: “You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so . . . and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.”(4) And at the risk of boring you with Jeffersonian wisdom, eloquence, and accurate predictions, here is one more statement referencing the judiciary as the “most dangerous” branch of our government: “At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the Constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance...” (Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823)(5) Thomas Jefferson knew the weaknesses of human nature, and that “judges are as honest as other men, and not more so.”(6) Indeed, the last line of defense for the deep state and leftist legislators, in their attempts to maintain control of America seems now to be the courts. As Daniel Horowitz stated: “They have ordered the administration to fund private foreign aid organizations, reinstate specific personnel, and publish designated information on government websites. In one case, a judge even directed the Secretary of Defense to retract a statement on the Pentagon’s policy regarding transgender troops. And over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasburg attempted to block the deportation of violent gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. “What’s next? Will they order Trump to stop threatening Hamas or remove the bust of Andrew Jackson from the Oval Office? “Judges have forgotten who they are: unelected shields against government overreach, not legislative swords that can impose policies. Perhaps Trump needs to examine that bust of “Old Hickory” Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office and recall his (likely apocryphal) response to Chief Justice John Marshall’s ruling in Worcester v. Georgia: ‘John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!’”(7) What is our role in all of this? Vote, stay informed, be voices for truth, support honest and righteous government officials, get involved in local school boards and government, and PRAY. We must pray that the Lord overrides the decision of dishonest or misguided judges, exposing their inappropriate decisions. Ask God to continue exposing the corruption in our government. We need for unrighteous judges who legislate from the bench to be removed. Ask God to give favor and great understanding to honorable judges. Pray daily for great wisdom to be given to government leaders fighting for truth, freedom, and the restoration of America. We should pray this, especially for President Trump‘s Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies as they uproot and tear down the evil that has entrenched itself. And pray for those in Congress working with them by codifying the changes. Lastly, pray for revival. Lasting change will only come to America as millions of hearts are transformed by the power of Holy Spirit. This, and this alone, will empower the full reformation needed in our nation. Pray with me: Father, we know that righteousness and justice are the foundations of Your throne. We also know that these foundations are based on truth, which is found in You and Your Word. And we believe that as our Framers sought You for wisdom, You answered their prayers as they wrote our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Leftists and despots continuously rebel against this wisdom and Your truth. We ask for Your supernatural help in stopping their efforts. We ask that You give President Trump’s team great understanding and wisdom as they work against attempts to turn our nation away from the Judeo-Christian principles upon which we were founded. Release Your sovereign and all-powerful hand to dismantle evil structures and systems created by those who resist truth in America. Break off of us the tyranny of evil and dishonest judges. Help us rebuild a strong America. Give us wisdom to mend our flaws, building back an even stronger and more righteous nation. Shake out evil and do a deep work of cleansing. Revive us and restore us. In the name of Jesus, we pray, amen. Our decree: We decree that righteousness will prevail in the courts of America. ********************************* Watch the video below: -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.robgagnon.net/JeffersonOnJudicialTyranny.htm Ibid.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/keep-the-serpent-out Keep The Serpent Out! March 18, 2025 The Hebrew words translated “watchman” are natsar, shamar and tsaphah. They mean to guard or protect by watching over. In ancient times they were also used to describe hedging around crops with thorn bushes to keep out encroachers.(1) The words include the concept of hiding or concealing something.(2) Watchmen, through intercession, create the Psalm 91 secret place of protection. Genesis 2:15 is the first time one of them is used in Scripture: “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep (shamar) it.” Adam was told to guard or “keep” the garden. From what? It had to be the serpent! I assert this firstly because it is much in keeping with the nature of God to have warned him. To have done otherwise would not have been consistent with God’s character. Second, neither Adam nor Eve seemed shocked when a snake talked to them. It evidently didn’t come as a total surprise. Third, what else could there have been before the Fall to guard, keep or protect the garden from? Only the serpent. This is an important point – the first mention of watching or protecting in Scripture gives us the primary responsibility of the watchman: Keep the serpent out! Guard or protect that which God has entrusted to your care from the subtle encroachment of the serpent. Keep him out of your garden: your home, family, church, city, nation! Keep him out! These three Hebrew words are also translated in several other ways. I’m going to list several of them, elaborating briefly, to provide a more well-rounded understanding of the concept. As you will plainly see, many pages could be written commenting on the symbolism and connection to prayer. For brevity’s sake I have not done so, but I would encourage you to think on each definition, allowing the Holy Spirit to bring insight to you personally. Keep or Keeper This is by far the most frequent usage of these three words, translated as such at least 250 times in the King James Version. Watchmen “keep” possessions, places, and individuals safe. They ensure against loss, theft or damage. They “keep” things intact, in possession. Guard Watchmen are guards. They protect possessions, places, and as the next usage demonstrates, people. Bodyguard Watchmen guard and protect individuals, shielding them from danger and harm. They are the secret service agents of the Kingdom, guarding and protecting others. When I pastored, intercessors in our fellowship were faithful to cover me in prayer. More than once I was told, “Pastor, I was up through the night praying for you.” Occasionally they asked, “Was something wrong?” “No,” I always responded. They were a bit confused, thinking they had misheard the Holy Spirit, until I replied, “And your prayers are probably why! Keep praying; it’s working!” It was a comfort to know I had spiritual bodyguards. Ministers would be more effective if the body of Christ had more faithful watchmen. Doorkeeper This one is obviously similar to the next, so I will comment on both of them together. Gatekeeper Watchmen have the ability, through prayer, to determine who or what enters their homes, their families’ lives, their churches, their cities, etc. They discern by the Holy Spirit what to allow in, and through prayer, open and close the door. They invite in the work of the Holy Spirit and reject the works of darkness, keeping enemies out. Preserve or Preserver Watchmen preserve, keeping things from ruin and destruction. They preserve lives, anointings, moves of God and a host of other things by covering them in prayer. In their book, How to Pray for Your Family, Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock tell of four ladies who functioned as watchmen for their farms. These women walked the perimeters of the fields while the husbands worked, sometimes covering as much as six miles in a day. They prayed for protection from insects, crop diseases, hail and drought. They asked God to give their husbands wisdom in farming and marketing and prayed for angels to be assigned to the efforts. The results were amazing. It turned out to be one of their better years. No storm or insect damage, no unwise decisions and a good profit – while others around them had a difficult year with little profit. We simply aren’t practical enough at times with our intercession tactics. These ladies, watching in intercession, opened the way for God’s blessing upon their families’ financial endeavors.(3) Pay attention Watchmen must be on the alert, paying attention. Though this is obvious, we often fail to do so. Like soldiers, God “calls us to attention.” Lives are at stake. The spiritual harvest fields must be guarded. Pay attention, watchmen! Observe Be observant. Quite simply, watchmen must watch! If they do so, they’ll observe what others fail to see. This involves the concept of discernment. Behold This usage is similar to observe, of course, but I list it because it intensifies the command to watch: Behold! Beware Watchmen must be vigilant, aware, on the alert. First Peter 5:8 warns us to be of sober spirit. Always beware, intercessor! Watch for satan, who roams about like a lion, seeking someone to devour. When you discern him at work, enforce Calvary's victory with your God-given authority. Protect In the same sense as guarding and keeping, watchmen protect. They build walls or boundaries of protection from the attacks of the devil. Maintain Watchmen maintain things for other people and for the Lord. They are the maintenance crew. They may not build or plant, as some do, but they maintain what has been built, keeping things working well, preventing breakdowns. Ask the Lord to strengthen you in your ability to watch and pray. Ask Him for sensitivity – the ability to sense in the spirit realm, being able to pick up and hear His alerts and warnings. Let’s do so now. Pray with me: Father, it is never Your will for the serpent to encroach on our “gardens.” He is subtle, but You have sent Holy Spirit to help us, alerting us to his attacks. Teach us to listen, to always be alert, paying attention to Your promptings. Fine tune us. We want to be watchmen for our families, friends, and leaders. We are also to be watchmen for our nation. Had we been alert, prayer would not have been removed from our schools, and the murder of babies in the womb would never have been the law of our land. Had we been paying attention and taking action, our government would not have been overtaken by those who dishonor You, our education system by unrighteous propagandists. You are giving us another chance to step into our role of protecting and preserving what You gave us. You are raising up an army of watchmen who refuse to allow our harvest and our inheritance to be stolen. Release boldness and determination to this army, enabling them to be fearless and unwavering. May we find ourselves faithful in this strategic and unprecedented hour. In Christ’s name, we pray, amen. Our decree: We decree that we have ears to hear and hearts to obey what God is saying. ****************************** Portions of today’s post were taken from my book Intercessory Prayer, published by Baker Books.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/now-is-the-time Now Is The Time March 17, 2025 Signs and wonders will undoubtedly play a significant role in the coming great harvest. This is consistent with Scripture. In the book of Acts, immediately after the church was born on the day of Pentecost, miracles began occurring and were used to generate amazing numbers of conversions. As chapter 3 begins, Peter was used to heal a lame man at the gate called “Beautiful.” He had been lame from birth, completely unable to walk, and sat at this gate daily, begging for alms. Because of the prominent location, all of Jerusalem and many in Israel knew of this man, having seen him numerous times. Jesus Himself had no doubt walked by this man many times, and yet chose not to perform the miracle. Always led by the Spirit, He knew it wasn’t the right time (John 5:19, 30; 8:29; Luke 4:1). On this day in Acts 3, Holy Spirit moved upon Peter, letting him know this was the right time. He was used to work one of the greatest miracles ever performed, and as a result, 5000 people were born again. What is incredibly fascinating is that the Greek word used in this passage for the name of the gate, Beautiful,” literally means “the right time” (horaios). How fascinating is that! The word does not mean beautiful in the sense of attractive or pretty. It is a “circumstantial beauty,” used to describe that which occurs when the right circumstances come together at “the right time,” creating something beautiful. God, in His sovereignty and foreknowledge, named this gate “The Right Time,” then made sure the lame man’s family chose this as the location for him to daily beg for alms. Then, He led Jesus to NOT heal the man, saving the miracle for “the right time,” when the newly birthed church would need a miracle of this magnitude to prove Jesus was alive and was the Messiah. The “right time” miracle at the “right time” gate! Isn’t God amazing!!! Continuing in chapter 4 of Acts, miracles were once again associated with reaching people for Christ: “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.” (verses 29-33) The church leaders prayed for boldness, healings, signs and wonders, then declared God’s Word. He responded by giving them great grace and power to demonstrate Christ’s resurrection, which resulted in multitudes being saved. In the next chapter, Acts 5, “by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people… and believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women… there came also a multitude out of the cities round about onto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and those who were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed everyone.” (from Verses 12-16) It was clearly God‘s plan to use signs and wonders to confirm the truth of the gospel, producing “multitudes” of conversions to Christ. It will do the same today. By the time we get to Acts chapter 6, ministry in the early church had expanded from being done primarily by the apostles, to now taking place by deacons, also. This caused the growth of the church to go to a new level, multiplying tremendously. Verse 8 tells us “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.”Acts 8:4-8 mentions the deacon, Phillip, doing the same: “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.” No doubt there was! We who are involved in the Healing Summits believe it is “the right time” for many signs and wonders to occur throughout the world. We realize miracles have never completely stopped, but we also believe there are seasons when they increase dramatically, and feel we are entering one of those seasons. This is why we are doing the summits. Join us April 4th in Middletown, Ohio, if you can. (Registration is required due to a limited seating capacity.) We will pray personally for every person desiring prayer. If you are unable to attend in person, please join us online at Oasiswired.org. Many have been healed while doing so in previous summits. Entire congregations, home groups and families will be watching, agreeing with us and praying for one another. If you let them know at the Oasis Church (oasiswired.org) that your church is doing so, they will list your church’s name and address so people in your region can be aware of it. Join your faith with ours for miracles to occur that night, both for yourself and for others. And also, pray with us for the release of this great movement of signs and wonders around the world. And the following is very important: If you lead a congregation or are associated with a network of churches, consider doing your own healing service that night or later in the month of April. Our desire is multiplication, not one large event!!! I realize that would not leave much time to prepare, but these do not have to be elaborate gatherings. Simply have a time of worship and begin praying for people to receive healings. If you do so, Holy Spirit will honor it. The month of Nisan (March 30 through April 28) is the Hebrew “month of miracles.” God chose this window of time in which to work profound miracles for Israel, and this was also the month He declared He was “the Lord our Healer” (Exodus 15:26). Obviously Holy Spirit is not limited to this timeframe in order to work miracles, but we can honor what He did and said then, using it as a point of reference to agree for a fresh season of the supernatural. It is time. Pray with me: Father, we often think of ourselves as working FOR You, while You think of us as working WITH You. Co-laborers. Partners. Family. We know, of course, that You are in charge, the Ruler of the universe. You are all-powerful, infinitely wise, ever-present, uncompromisingly holy, and eternal. Yet You wanted and created family, sons and daughters filled with Your Spirit and nature, capable of partnering with You. We are truly in awe of this. As we move into the great revival that will bring a billion or more souls into Your family, we are beyond excited to work with You to accomplish this. As Your ambassadors we will release Your authority; as Your evangelists we will declare the good news of Christ; and as Your healing agents we will heal the hurting and set captives free. Just as Christ was moved with compassion and healed the sick, we, His body, are as well; we are passionate to see them healed. We also know miraculous signs must be performed at “the right time,” pointing people to Christ. We believe we have moved into one of earth’s “right times,” and we ask for the release of Holy Spirit’s gifts and power in order to produce these signs. Give us signs and wonders we pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that at this right time, we will see an increase of signs and wonders throughout the earth. ********************** Watch our video:

https://www.givehim15.com/post/a-critical-and-time-sensitive-opportunity A Critical and Time-Sensitive Opportunity March 14, 2025 “…the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32). I am pleased to be associated with a company of believers that do more than just talk about their faith. They practice it, doing exploits for the Lord. And they don’t limit those actions to the four walls of a building on Sunday mornings; they are the church all week! As far as these warriors are concerned, gone are the days when they stay out of the culture war, leaving government, education, media, and other segments of society to the antichrist spirit. It truly is a new day. Because of this mindset, those praying and working toward turning America around experienced great victories in the 2024 elections. As a result, much progress is now being made. The borders are closed, the mutilation of our children is being curbed, waste and fraud involving hundreds of billions of dollars has been discovered, our military is being rebuilt, DEI is being removed, wokism is dying, and we are just getting started. However, we must remember that satan is always roaming about looking for opportunities to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8). In Colossians 4:2, we are exhorted to: “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving” (NASB). The first warning issued about satan in Scripture was regarding his cunningness or craftiness (Genesis 3:1). He, and those aligned with him, are always looking for openings through which to take advantage and attack. As the verse in Colossians instructs us, we must remain alert. I want to make you aware of a contest satan would like to keep the church ignorant of, which might allow him to stop the wonderful progress being made. This situation has definitely been under the radar. It involves Wisconsin. Yes, you heard that correctly. An upcoming election in that state holds critical, national consequences that could impact all of America. Let me explain. Wisconsin has become extremely critical in recent national elections; it was actually one of the most pivotal states in the past three presidential elections (2016, 2020, 2024). The Wisconsin Supreme Court controls key elements of its election process. Currently, the Court is liberal, after only one seat flipped in 2023. Because of that one seat, the court undid voter ID requirements, made drop-boxes legal again, and more to influence the outcome of their elections. Now, there is great concern that they will gerrymander the state’s districts, in order to flip a couple of U.S. House seats from Republican to Democrat in 2026. (For those of you who don’t know, gerrymandering is redrawing the boundaries of districts in order to control the outcomes of votes.) The U.S. House of Representatives is so close now that a two-seat flip would give control back to the Left. This would be catastrophic, severely hindering the President’s and Congress’s ability to make the needed and essential changes. But we have a tremendous window of opportunity: on April 1, less than three weeks away, Wisconsin will vote on a Supreme Court seat. A win for the conservative candidate would turn the court back to a conservative majority, which would espouse more biblically driven values. And the ripple effects would very likely influence the future of the entire nation! This election is so critical that national organizations on the Left are pouring tens of millions of dollars into it! We can help determine the outcome. The voter turnout for this election has historically been low. That means engaging even a small percentage of the Christian voter population becomes very significant. If we influence like-minded individuals to vote, it could turn the tide. But time is running out, and we must act quickly. Whether you live in Wisconsin or not, you can participate in this important effort. Here’s how we can help, beyond simply praying: Write Now – This is a unique and easy letter-writing campaign designed to encourage likeminded, registered voters in Wisconsin to head to the polls and vote their values. Over 160,000 Give Him 15 listeners participated in this activity for swing states during the 2024 elections, and we made a HUGE difference. The process is: Easy – Million Voices provides the content of the letter, and the names and addresses of like-minded voters. You provide a bit of your time, the printing, envelopes, and stamps. You can do as little as 10 or as many as you’d like. Effective – Handwritten letters have been shown to boost voter turnout by an amazing 57%. Your participation can truly make the difference! Rooted in Prayer – As you pray over the letter, every word you write will be anointed to inspire and mobilize others, guiding them with purpose. Call Now – For those who would like to, you can make calls to like-minded voters, urging them to get out and vote. Million Voices gives you the names, numbers, and the script. Mostly, you would be leaving messages. But history has proven the effectiveness of these calls. Click to Share – You can use Million Voices’ system to send their Wisconsin Supreme Court Voter Guide to those you may know in Wisconsin. How easy, and yet so effective. With early voting starting soon, we must act NOW. All of the above plans can be accessed through one website, which is: MillionVoices.org/WI. There you will find videos that further explain these options. Give Him 15 listeners, we did exploits for the Lord in 2024; let’s do it again in this Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Time is short. Let’s do our part to help Wisconsin and in doing so, help the entire nation. And while I know some of you will not be able to do this due to time constraints, we can all participate in the prayer aspect of this. Whatever effort you make and role you play, please know that God appreciates all of our partnering with Him. First Corinthians 3:9 tells us “we are labourers together with God.” And Hebrews 6:10 assures us: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” He won’t forget. Pray with me: Father, we are moved by the thought of being Your co-laborers. What a staggering truth! You have made us partners in Your great cause of releasing Christ’s redemption throughout the earth. Whether it be writing a letter, making a phone call, or offering up prayers, we are honored to work together with You. Please breathe upon this effort in Wisconsin, and give us a more biblically based Supreme Court there. We ask You to thwart the efforts of those who work against Your principles and ways. We continue to pray for those in our national government whom You are using to bring reformation. Give President Trump, his Cabinet, and legislators great wisdom as they develop and implement strategies. Continue to expose the rampant theft and fraud that has taken place. Open the file cabinets and expose the hidden files, as You have said You would do. Continue to awaken the American people – bring this nation to its senses! And lastly, You told me years ago that the third great awakening in America would begin with the young people. This has now begun – You are pouring out Your Spirit on campuses throughout the nation. We ask that this not only continue but intensify, and that no effort from satan to defile it would succeed. Guard it jealously. Throw more oil on it, causing it to burn with holy fire and great intensity. Bless the endeavors of those You are using; give them provision, anointing, and great success. All of these things we ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen. Our decree: We decree that the good work God has begun in our nation will continue and not be thwarted. *********************** As a reminder, go to MillionVoices.org/WI for instructions and more information.
