7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/january-4-2022 January 4, 2022 Hello, I am Dutch and Ceci‘s daughter Sarah. Dad has asked me to do the intro for today’s post. He says: Ceci and I traveled to Dallas this past weekend to speak for our dear friend, Chuck Pierce. While here Ceci came under a very severe vertigo attack, making it impossible for her to be mobile. I was not even able to leave her to speak at the conference. This also meant we were not able to return home on Sunday. We are still in Dallas until she is released to travel. Thankfully, I had yesterday‘s post already prepared. And thankfully, I had already asked Chuck Pierce, and my brother, Tim sheets, to record posts sharing recent revelations the Lord had given them - insights I felt were important for all of us as we start the new year. I had intended to release them later this week or early next week, but due to the circumstances, I’m releasing them today and tomorrow. You will greatly appreciate what they have to say. Prophesy Again...! What an honor to be on Give Him 15. I so respect both Dutch and Ceci Sheets. Dutch is one of my favorite people to minister with. In this new era, we must keep prophesying. Once you understand we're in a new era, it is time to accept change. If we're not changeable, we don't shift well. It's also a new season of faith. Your faith must increase. The Lord told the disciples they had a little faith. It wasn't that they had no faith, but that faith needed to come to a new level. Additionally, in every new era we also want to know that a new wineskin is being developed for a new move of God -- and that's part of what we're seeing. Give Him 15 is part of that new wineskin. This is an era when we must understand that the war is increasing. War means conflict. There’s conflict on almost every side, so we've got to keep faith moving and joy moving or else we lose strength. It's also a time to plunder or be plundered. Remember what Yeshua said, "Unless you bind the strong man, you cannot plunder what he has taken from you." This season is a time to recover all, get back things that had been taken, and then use those resources in new ways to develop exploits. From a Hebraic standpoint, this is an era about the voice that comes out of your house. How are you speaking? How are you prophesying? It's a very supernatural, mystical atmosphere around us. We are living in supernatural times; therefore, we must depend on the supernatural power that God has put within us, allowing Holy Spirit to manifest through us to determine who is going to rule our future. That is very key whether you're looking at it from a personal standpoint, your own portion, territory, a state, or a nation. What supernatural power is going to rule in our atmosphere as we keep moving toward an expected time? That's what future means – what we haven't gotten to yet, as opposed to where we were yesterday. In this era, we're building the house for the future. We're moving to re-establish the house over these next couple of years. Within Hebraic thought, time is a circle. We are facing backwards while rowing into the future and gaining a new building plan for the house that we're part of. This year is also the year of the container. Just look at the warfare with container ships stranded out in our ports and the supply not being able to come on shore. With the house, the dwelling place, your home, it’s about the covenant that God has and the sons and daughters that are part of what is being built. This is very important. Know that the heavens are changing. Psalms 102 says there comes a time the heavens become like an old garment. The harvest sickle in heaven is beginning to move, so we must lift our eyes and look at our harvest, re-evaluate the boundaries and sphere that we each have. Then we hear the Lord for war strategies to secure our inheritance. That comes through the Tabernacle of David being restored and worship having a key role in the portion God's given us. Out of David's tabernacle came the worship and praise which allowed them to gain the strategies they needed for war. In this new era, a new day breaks every day and because of that, we must prophesy again. If we become discouraged because of what we haven't seen, we don't keep prophesying into the future. Prophecy is having the mind and heart of God to decree or speak into the atmosphere that we're part of. This is a day for us to prophesy again and as we prophesy, we're building. I encourage you – always speak! The voice that's coming out of you is building your future. Always speak forth what God is saying in your life. Many of you prophesy into this nation or into your family. Prophecy and prayer go hand in hand. What you're praying, you prophesy. Pray and say. There are five key levels of prophetic recovery that are important to understand. You can't get discouraged based upon the circumstances around you. The Lord came to Ezekiel and said, "Let me show you how things really look." He showed him dry bones, lifeless, and asked a question – "Son of man, can these bones live?" Ezekiel said, "Lord, only you know what can be done." The Lord didn't come down on Ezekiel because of his faith level. He said, "Okay, I'm going to tell you what to prophesy. Prophesy to these bones, say to them…”, He told Ezekiel exactly what to say. He didn’t say, “You have to believe this”, but “Prophesy because I'm saying it!” Prophesy to these bones and say, “Oh, dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Behold, I'll make breath enter you so that you come to life. I'll put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin. You will come alive and know that I Am the Lord." Look at what you are praying about and say, "Can recovery happen in this situation?" Then listen for the Lord and prophesy what He says. Ezekiel did what the Lord said, and something happened. Sound started coming. The form started coming, but there wasn't any breath in this sound and form. So, the Lord said to him, "I want you to prophesy again to the breath." In other words, I want you to know there are levels we go through – prophesying, praying, and prophesying again. It's very much like when the Lord touched the man's eyes and the second time he saw clearly. Don't get discouraged by circumstances. Prophesy! That's a word from the Lord to you today. Ezekiel prophesied again and the breath came. Look at the thing you're praying for and say, "I've seen progress here, but I'm going to have to prophesy again. I'm not going to get weary in saying what God is saying." Once the breath comes, the bones rise and start speaking. The bodies come to life, speaking and sharing all they'd been through, all the hope deferred. Then the Lord said, “Prophesy to that hope deferred!” If we ever needed to prophesy to hope deferred, it’s now. Once Ezekiel addressed hope deferred, something else began to happen; he had to determine, "Can I really believe that an army can come out of this grave of hope deferred, this scattered, lifeless place that it's been in?" As he prophesied to that resurrected army, a resurrection power hit from the prophecy and the army started coming together. That's what Give Him 15 is about. Can this army keep coming together and keep saying what God is saying? Often, when we don't see a completion of what God is saying or doing, we get discouraged. But the Lord says, "I said it. Even though the breath’s not happening, and you've already prophesied it, you're going to have to prophesy again. Deal with the hope deferred of your past, then come together as one with new power." Prophesy that and see the joy! Many don't understand that when prophecy doesn’t seem to happen, we have to prophesy again. We have to go to Washington, D.C., and prophesy again. We have to prophesy about that individual and say, "But God has said this and I'm going to decree it." Once we see this, we move forward and keep prophesying until something happens. Can a resurrected army come together? We're seeing that happen. You're part of it right now. Ezekiel 37:14 is one of my very favorite verses. Before Ezekiel ever saw the dry bones, God told him to prophesy that a new spirit and new life would come into the people. He prophesied it, then the Lord showed him the dry bones and took him through these prophetic steps of recovery. Can this army come together? Prophesy – “I will put my Spirit in you! You will come to life, and I will place you in your own land!” That's part of what's happening right now. God is repositioning us in things filled with decay to build the church for the future, a storehouse for the harvest ahead. Amid chaotic times and wrong voices, He is saying, “Prophesy again. Know that I have spoken and fulfilled it." He's taking us through these prophetic recovery steps. Do not be discouraged. You will see the performance of the Lord in what you're trusting Him for. Prayer: Lord, I ask that You move on everyone reading this. Let their faith arise, shine their shield of faith, and let the Word of God start bubbling within them. Let them see into a different dimension. Lord, help them to prophesy recovery can happen! Help them prophesy a new breath will bring life! Help them prophesy hope deferred will be addressed and removed! And help them prophesy a resurrected army is coming together! We pray this in Yeshua’s name, Amen. Our decree: I am part of a resurrected army that will prophesy and see the performance of the Lord. ******************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video.

To help with this, I’ve asked some of the prophetic voices I draw from occasionally on the posts to fill in. If you listen regularly you’ll know the names, even if you haven’t seen their faces before, and you’ll be very blessed by these posts. Enjoy! And I’ll see you next week. We Will Not Shrink Back, Give Up, or Give In Jesus Rocked the Boat Have you ever noticed every time Jesus found himself in a temple, he caused trouble? In John 2:13-16, we find Jesus turning over the tables of the money changers. He even made a whip and drove them out of the temple. He accused them of making His father’s house a place where thieves do business. Matthew 23:25 is full of harsh words. Jesus calls the scribes and Pharisees - hypocrites, robbers, and self-indulgent. Is it a good idea to disrupt the livelihood of powerful people and humiliate them publicly, especially people well-connected with the most ruthless government on earth—the Roman empire? It sure does sound familiar in today’s world, doesn't it? The lives of our children and youth have become a commodity for trade. Churches and so-called ministries who profess to know God and do things "for" God have become a place for showbiz Christianity. It has the appearance of God but His power and His presence are absent from it. Well, Jesus didn't care that people didn’t like it. In fact, He was doing exactly what He was sent to do—destroy the old priestly order and establish a new one, in His name and through His life. A New Priesthood When the disciples of John the Baptist asked Jesus why His disciples didn’t fast as they did, He answered them, “I haven't come to put new wine into an old wineskin. It would be destroyed. I did not come to patch up your old broken, dilapidated religion. I came to destroy it and replace it with something entirely new—something alive and eternal.” Many churches today are happy with the old religious ways. I hear people say often, “Give me some of that old-time religion.” I say, no thank you. I want what Jesus is doing today. I want this new and living way that Jesus has brought to the earth called the Kingdom of God. It’s not a religion; it is not full of ordinances and rituals. It is the rule and reign of Jesus the King, through His sons and daughters - that's you and me if you're born again - moving together as one body, expanding His kingdom here on earth. I want this new wine that Jesus is pouring out. What about you? John 2:10 reads, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” You see, Jesus did not give them the same old stuff they were drinking. He gave them something better, something symbolic of what He was bringing into the earth, something intoxicating. Scripture often refers to Holy Spirit as new wine because the Holy Spirit is intoxicating. What does it mean to be intoxicated? (Back in my B.C. days - before Christ - I know exactly what intoxication meant to me then.) Intoxication alters everything about you - how you think, walk, speak, and even the way you spend your money. Jesus gave us new wine and a new and living priesthood through Holy Spirit. It was not just for an infilling to speak in tongues or heal the sick. It was to bring about a priestly order onto the earth that has been absent since Adam—the Melchizedek priesthood. We must get this priesthood activated for the fire of God to fall in America and in our personal lives. Jesus is our high priest, not after the Levitical priestly order but after the priestly order of Melchizedek. These are totally different types of the priesthood. Thank God Jesus was born in Judah’s tribe, not in Levi. But Jesus brings another quality that the Levitical priests did not have— eternal life! According to Hebrews 7:23-25, Jesus “Is able to save forever… and He always lives...” Jesus functions from the power of an endless life and so should we. Hallelujah! Jesus replaced Levi with Melchizedek. The kingdom operation of the priesthood is no longer under Levi’s order. It operates from the power of an endless life of Jesus. The good news is, we are a part of Jesus’ priesthood after this new order, the order of Melchizedek. In this new order, the job of priests is to get things legally in place, so that we can step into our kingly anointing and make decrees from Father’s heart that establish His will in the earth. Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2:5 that we are “living stones, built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood." Priests intercede, kings make decrees. We are both "kings and priests" according to 1 Peter 2:9. Yet we cannot step into our kingly anointing without understanding the priestly anointing that Father God has given us in our lives through Jesus Christ. Kingdom vs Religion This is not a religious function. This is a kingdom function. Religion wants ordinances. Religion wants the rituals of Levi’s priesthood. Religion wants you to go through the steps so that maybe you can please God someday. Religion wants rituals on Sunday morning—singing, standing, kneeling, praying, hearing - yet leaving the same way we came. Religion wants us in a holding pattern, waiting for God to change things, when we already have His power working in us and through us. Christ’s Kingdom Leavens Everything - NOW This new order of priesthood is powerful because it is not religious. No matter if we are business people, teachers, government officials, stay-at-home parents, artists, or entertainers...whatever sphere of society we inhabit, we carry a priestly and a kingly anointing to establish the glory and dominion of the King, Jesus. This is how God is getting kingdom done. Luke 10:19 states that you and I have been given authority over the enemy. As kings and priests, we apply that scripture to wherever we find the enemy working - in the government, in our schools, in our economy, in the medical arena; in every facet of society where inequity has taken root. I shake my head in disbelief as to what our society has succumbed to - when I see transsexuals and transvestites indoctrinating our young children, reading them stories that support their lifestyle. I once read of a stripper instructing a third-grade class on how to pole dance. This is not spiritual warfare in the ether somewhere. This is wickedness right under our noses. It is happening in our homes and communities. If you don’t believe me, check your kid’s internet usage and monitor what’s being taught at their school. As bad as this sounds, here is the good news. We have the power to displace it and overcome it! God is looking for sons and daughters who will rise up and say, “I will be that priest and king in the sphere of influence God has planted me in. I will be that voice of reason, the hands and feet of God proclaiming His goodness and His authority. The religious priesthood will not do this. Some Sunday morning pastors may not do this. A professional minister may not ever do this. It has to be Spirit-grown sons and daughters coming to a place where we understand our position, power, and responsibilities. Where we are no longer comfortable coexisting with the ways of the world. In Revelation 5:10 (NKJV) the John states of Jesus, “You have made us kings and priests to our God, And we shall reign on the earth.” This is not a post-millennial event; this is a here-and-now event. This is not scheduled for the future. This is now! Wherever He has given you authority, whatever sphere of influence He has put you in, it is your responsibility to bring the glory and dominion of God to that place. This means not backing down, not being a coward, not trying to coexist. Pray with me: Father, we ask today that by Holy Spirit, You would give us the courage to make the shift out of the old way of religion and step into Your Kingdom power which You have provided for us through Jesus Christ - His death and resurrection, His ascension and His sitting down at Your right hand. Amen. Our Decree: We decree that we are moving in the power of Jesus’ priesthood which operates from the power of an endless life. We decree that we are new wineskins ready to receive the new wine of Holy Spirit’s empowerment for this fresh revival and awakening He has brought us into. We decree that we will NOT shrink back, give in, give up or give out when it comes to bringing our families and our nation into the purpose of God..! ***************************** Today’s post was contributed by Greg Hood and taken from his book Rebuilding the Broken Altar.

To help with this, I’ve asked some of the prophetic voices I draw from occasionally on the posts to fill in. If you listen regularly you’ll know the names, even if you haven’t seen their faces before, and you’ll be very blessed by these posts. Enjoy! And I’ll see you next week. The Power of Being Relationally Aligned “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. (Genesis 11:1) God had a problem. It was 4,000 BC, and the whole world was connected with one common language. And they decided to make a name for themselves by building a city with a tower that reached to the heavens. It was a good plan, and it could have worked, except God took exception with it. Now, man had a problem. Genesis 11:5-7: “The Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, ‘If as one people speaking the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.’” As anyone who has ever tried building anything knows, the surest way to discover your true friends from your enemies is to build something—anything. A house, a shopping mall, an elementary school, a power plant, a pipeline, a nuclear test facility, and yes, a move of God. It seems like there is always one group in favor and several noisy groups adamantly opposed. Which makes me wonder why God took issue with the building of a tower. I mean…didn’t he say “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and yes, subdue it?” (Genesis 1:28). Doesn’t this include tower building? I think it does. Well, apparently it doesn’t matter what I think. God thought it was a bad idea and that was the end of it…literally. “Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other. So, the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.” (Genesis 11:7-8) That was it. From unity to disunity. From power to powerless. From progress to disarray. From one language to…well, to babble. Not very God-like, was it? Well, actually it was. God recognized the power of relational alignment. He knew that if man was aligned, there would be no stopping them. Anything would be possible. To eternity and beyond! Why was this an issue? One word: Sin. God’s problem was not the advance of man. It was in what man was advancing. That city and tower were not about progressing with pure motives. This wasn’t a bunch of people sitting around, trying to find ways to improve the earth, to glorify God or even better, to get better cell phone reception. These were the sons and daughters of Adam, living in a fallen state, building a monument for their godless pride. We see this often in today’s society. No telling where they would have reached. But God wasn’t about to wait and find out. Today, we see the same forces at work. Technology has fueled the information age and empowered man with a common language—the means of relational alignment. And while we are seeing great things from unifying inventions like computers, the internet, satellites and smart phones—I’m writing this on a computer right now—only a blind man could miss the evil being propagated through these same channels. The applications that enable the whole world to hear the Gospel also facilitate internet mobs’ intent on canceling anything that does not fit their social justice cause. As we grow closer in one common language, we uncover the power to transform the earth—our pre-sin mandate. But we also tap into the power to do anything we set our minds to. The issue, therefore, is our minds, informed by our hearts and driven by our natures. The good that redeemed men and women can do is up against the evil that unredeemed people can do…often unwittingly. Amidst the mess we see, the power of relational alignment cannot be ignored. The lesson of our day is that, yes indeed, we can accomplish anything we set ourselves to do when we are relationally aligned. Alignment works for good when those who aligned surrender to God. Indeed, relational alignment amplifies what unites us. God doesn’t hate towers; He doesn’t hate building. He hates sin. Simultaneously, He loves mankind. And He loves it when we align under Him—surrender to His will, when we do it His way. What is His way? It starts with integrity of the soul and spirit—understanding Jesus’ life and saving power. It starts with people who know who they are in God. It flows to leadership—people under God who have been prepared, tried and even tested, those who have held the knife over the beating heart of that which they loved and heard the words: “Stop! Now I know…” [Abraham and Isaac] It starts with being qualified, and it continues with the attraction of capable leadership to those looking for leaders. Many say that people are rebellious, and they won’t follow leaders. I say that many are tired of pseudo-leaders. Relational Alignment cannot be forced. The strength of a movement is not from blind obedience but in the resultant empowering of those being led. This happens through relationship. Alignment is the key ingredient that binds the Kingdom of God into life-giving relationships. Our anointing’s are not made to function independent of one another. Not at all. We are gifted to serve each other, first in the Kingdom of God, and from there, to the world. Jesus’ means of achieving all that the Father set in motion through His death and resurrection is His body—the Ekklesia, the church. Until and unless we become fitly joined together, we will not experience the power required to do what Jesus said we will do: Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will even do greater things than these because I am going to the Father. (John 14:12) (One of my favorite scriptures.) Relational alignment is not easy to achieve, but it is vital. We will spend a lifetime learning to be aligned and eternity rejoices through relational alignment. I’d say it’s worth the effort. Alignment is now. It propels the church forward into the new era. It qualifies us for greater power. It holds us together when the storms of rage assault us. It advances the vanguard, heals the wounded, shelters the weak, and directs the strong. It makes the church the church. It makes the Ekklesia His legislative assembly. It is the sinew and tendons of the body of Christ. It is the retort to the quintessential challenge: “Oh yeah? You and what army?” Relational alignment produces that army. From aligned individuals to aligned families to aligned fellowships to aligned nations—it is the leaven that gives rise to the people of God to glorify Him through one language, one voice, one body. It is the tower we should have built 4,000 years ago—the tower that God rejoices over. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I want to mention at this point about a book that I’ve written, “Relational Authority: Authentic Leadership” My friend, this is a tremendous resource that will help you. Much of what I have said today is in this book. It’s about building relationships that are strong. That are properly aligned. I have another book that will be out in 2022, “Aligned for Conquest.” They will go together. I suggest that you go to my website: ClayNash.org and look at this resource. I truly believe it’ll be something that will strengthen you, mature you, and help you become that weapon for God that He needs in the earth. Pray with me: Father, teach us what building Your movement is all about. Make us wise craftsmen to align Your people through relationship. Teach us to be the leaders and followers that You intend. Make us the sons and daughters of Your family in all respects. May our identities in You lead us to unite in relational alignment with one another for Your glory. Amen. Our Decree: Now I want you to make this declaration with me: We declare God’s Kingdom will come. We declare His will shall be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We declare that we shall align relationally. The dross shall be separated from the gold, the chaff from the wheat. We shall be purified and unified. We shall be endowed with power from on high, as the early church becomes the latter church. We will hold up the honor and glory of Almighty God—now and forevermore. “Two are better than one. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.’”(Ecclesiastes 4:9, 12) *********************** I want to thank you for joining with us today. I’m honored to be a part of this Give Him Fifteen; an incredible platform. But I’m honored that you would choose to take time to be here. So, may God bless you, empower you, mature you and send you forth with His mandates. America is being saved and you’re a part of it.

To help with this, I’ve asked some of the prophetic voices I draw from occasionally on the posts to fill in. If you listen regularly you’ll know the names, even if you haven’t seen their faces before, and you’ll be very blessed by these posts. Enjoy! And I’ll see you next week. The Tide is Rising As many of you are familiar with the daily Give Him 15, I am sure you have heard Dutch mention the dream I had that was set on the grounds of the Red River Meeting House. (Here is the GH15 post where the dream was shared from 2/9/2021.) At the end of that dream, I saw lines that formed the shape of a spear being drawn on a map. These lines were connecting the locations of four major moves of God that took place in the past - at the Red River Meeting House, Cane Ridge, Azusa Street, and Wales. Several months later, I had another dream in which I saw that same spear, but in this dream the spear was on fire, and it was spinning counterclockwise as it was being lifted up and then thrust into the center of the United States of America. This burning spear was releasing waves and waves of what appeared to be water that was on fire. As I looked closer in the dream, I realized these were not actually waves of water. They were waves of people who had been ignited with the glory of God that would be revealed at a specific time. I believe God was showing us through these dreams that it is now time for the fires of all those past moves of His Spirit to culminate in a combustible force of manifested glory, to be released in and through the Body of Christ. One morning in prayer, I heard the Lord say to me, “My power is twirling. It is an unstoppable spin, breaking the surface to relieve the pressure of the swell of My manifested glory.” I knew He was using the word “swell” in the sense of a collection of waves that form one long, massive, continuous wave! He continued, “Reformation is pushing forth! The die has been cast! It cannot be stopped! The geyser is ready to be released, and what has been concealed will now be revealed! Watch it gush forth and release the pressure of the swell and reveal the fiery wave of My prevailing glory!” This move we are in now will not be a reenactment of what God has already done - it will be a combination of all the mighty works He did in those moves, and even greater. What a revelation! This fiery swell of God’s unstoppable glory will now be manifested in this nation and in our world through the Church that Jesus built—His Ekklesia. God will move with the demonstration of His might through those who have surrendered their hearts and their all to Him. He will show Himself strong in and through those who are anchored on the foundation of the Word of God and who have become living, breathing Arks of His presence (see 1 Corinthians 6:19), containers of His transforming glory, and carriers of His all-consuming fire! Recently, God spoke prophetically through Dutch, emphatically ensuring us, “I CAN do this!” The thrusting of the fiery spear into the center of this nation was clearly revealing that this awakening has begun. Holy Spirit is now releasing an unstoppable movement of a wave of glory that will spread across the nation and around the world. It is the glory of the presence of the Lord as He flows through His glorious Church. No power from hell can stop the move of God that is now set into motion. This is a defining moment that has the power to change everything! The Lord has given me a revelation that has enlightened me with understanding for our times. He showed me that the movement we are now in is a movement of Spirit and truth. It is wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ that produces through us the exceeding greatness of His might—not just with words, but with power and demonstration, revealing the reality of Jesus to the world around us. There seems to be a very real and practical demonstration in the lives of true believers becoming light to the world, as darkness has taken its toll on our nation and our world. All we have learned in the Word, by the Spirit, and through our experiences with God along our journey, is now launching us into the place of true effectiveness in our society. No more hiding behind church walls, seeking emotional gratification and inspiration, with all that identifies us to the world being the fact that we are church-goers! Now is when the true Church is rising up with a revelation of who we are in Christ, marked and known by the demonstration of the reality of a life lived in Kingdom covenant. I believe the spark ignited by such a life and such living, will be so powerful that it will burst out in a move of God that will revolutionize this nation, and even our world. This is what history calls an awakening. When the Church awakens to the reality of Who God really is, who we really are in Him, and to the power of all that He has made available to us; and when we begin making it our priority to be all He has anointed us to be, we will then be a holy, set-apart people. We will be easily recognizable in our society—in all of our spheres of influence—not by our appearance and church attendance, but by the glory of God’s presence being demonstrated in our lives and living! I see a tide rising! It’s a fiery, blazing tide of uncompromised, bold, anointed warriors whose focus is on the Lord! Their ears hear His voice. Their feet march to the rhythm of His sound! Not everyone will hear this sound and move with Him, for many are deafened by the noise of the propagated chaos and blinded by the deception that is operating by a spirit of fear. But there is a company rising—a remnant within the remnant—who are not moved by the chaos, and they are not driven by fear; they are being ignited by the spear of God’s prophesied awakening. And now, we step into our defining moment with ears that hear God’s voice and eyes that recognize His movements. The swell of God’s manifested glory is ready to be released to implement a holy, unstoppable pushback! Not against flesh and blood; that’s not our fight! This is a pushing back of darkness, and I can feel the rumble as the twirling of Yahweh’s power is now releasing the pressure of the swell, to reveal the fiery wave of His prevailing glory that has been waiting for this precise moment in time. “The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken” (Isaiah 40:5 NKJV). Pray with me: Father, the fiery swell of Your transforming glory is beginning to manifest in this nation and in our world through Your remnant people. Awakening has begun. It cannot be stopped! We are returning to You with an unquenchable passion that will not allow us to accept an environment that is void of Your presence. We are ignited with the flames of awakening, and we will be unstoppable initiators of revival. We will be the wave that carries the fire of Your demonstrated glory to the earth! You are our only focus. We surrender our all to You. Consume us, Lord! May Christ be formed in us, and may it be Christ Who lives through us! We will go for You! We will burn for You! We will shine for You, not because we want to be seen or known, but because we have been consumed by You and we desire to make You known! Your Word is like fire shut up in our bones, and we will not hold it back. We cannot hold it back! Let wave after wave of Your glory flow into us and out through us to make Christ known! We will be Your voice that echoes the desires and intentions of Your heart! Make us Your fuel, flame of God, and release us as a wave, filled with the manifestation of Your fiery presence, covering the earth with the revelation of the glory as the waters cover the sea! In the name and authority of Jesus, we pray. Amen! Our decree: The Ekklesia now arises in the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ; and through us, He reveals the exceeding greatness of His might—not just with words, but with power and undeniable demonstration. ********************************** Today’s post was contributed by Gina Gholston and portions were taken from her book, Awakening the Church to Awaken a Nation.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-28-2021 December 28, 2021 Welcome to Give Him 15. Ceci and I are trying to slow down a little this last week of the year. To help with this, I’ve asked some of the prophetic voices I draw from occasionally on the posts to fill in. If you listen regularly you’ll know the names, even if you haven’t seen their faces before, and you’ll be very blessed by these posts. Enjoy! And I’ll see you next week. Contending for Victory Over the Real Pandemic I believe we have entered into a season of Great Contending on the earth today. Contending for lives, lands, and our very future! As we entered into this season of the pandemic, the Lord reminded me of the story in Matthew 8 where He commanded His disciples to get in the boat and cross over to the other side. If you remember, in this story it says that in the middle of this journey, in the middle of the lake, a furious storm arose. I’m sure the disciples could’ve wondered, where in Jesus’ word to us did He speak about such a terrible storm? He never mentioned it, He just commanded that it was time to cross over! However, the storm was so bad that these seasoned fishermen ran to Jesus who was in the boat asleep, woke Him and cried out, “Don’t you see, don’t you care that we are going to die!?” Jesus did care, it’s just that He also knew what He had already decreed! Jesus was unfazed, He awoke, arose and rebuked the winds and waves as if He were speaking to a person - because this was not any ordinary storm, this was a demonic storm! You see, Jesus was getting ready to deal with a territorial, controlling spirit in the land of the Gadarenes on the other side of the lake. I think that spirit understood the threat and stirred up a demonic storm to try and intimidate the disciples, to cause them to turn and retreat. However, Jesus spoke with authority and dealt with the storm. But at the same time, He was not happy with His disciples; He rebuked them saying, ‘Why are you afraid and where is your faith?’ In other words, Jesus was saying, I commanded you to cross over and I didn’t leave you or change My mind. You didn’t need to wake Me up; you needed to wake yourself up to our mission and your authority to fulfill it. I believe that is where we are today. God is speaking to his Ekklesia and saying, “I’ve called you to cross over, now use your authority to deal with every demonic storm and subdue every territorial, controlling spirit you encounter! Don’t be intimidated by this demonic storm. No, cross over, break the grip of the enemy, loose the people and set the land free as you’ve been called to do! In 2020, as the whole world was drafted into this battle with a virus we have come to know as Covid 19, I heard the Lord saying, “This is not just a natural foe but a demonic storm!” And its strategy could be summed up in 3 crucial attacks: …FEAR, FATIGUE & FATALISM. Fear The assignment of fear, panic, pandemonium, chaos, and intimidation in this season is real and is more than just the effect of the circumstances we are facing. Fear is a spiritual assignment formed by the enemy to try and get the church to withdraw and retreat from the battlefield. The purpose of the attack of fear is always control. Fear is also very contagious, like an epidemic. But do you know what is even more contagious? Faith. So stop listening to fear. It’s time to get around some people of faith! The enemy’s plan behind this pandemic, both naturally and spiritually, is a full-on assault of the antichrist spirit to bring to pass an antichrist agenda. The enemy’s efforts have been focused on trying to get the church to back up, when we are called to advance. We do not fight with natural weapons, but we do fight! When we use them purposely and rightfully we are destined to win! In praying about the word for the New Year of 2021, I felt led to do something I’d never done before. I felt the Lord ask me to look at the Strong’s Concordance numbers in Hebrew and Greek corresponding to the number “2021.” What I found was compelling. The Hebrew word corresponding to the Strong’s number 2021 is the word, hotsen, and its meaning is “to be sharp and strong, as a weapon of war; like a chariot advancing.” And Strong’s number 2021 in Greek is the word, epicheireo, which means “to take in hand, to undertake, or put the hand to.” I believe God is speaking to the church that this is a time we must be strong and sharp and fearlessly put the spiritual weapons of war in our hands! Fatigue The assignment of fatigue is sent to wear us down and wear us out so the enemy can take us out! The book of Hebrews tells us that when we are running, we can’t afford to let our hands or our heads hang down, or allow our legs to be weak! It’s time to catch your breath and get ready to run some more! Get ready to run to the battle! We can’t afford to be passive or fatigued in the battle. Scripture is clear that the joy of the Lord is our strength and implores us to be strong and courageous and not afraid or dismayed. Joshua was instructed 4 times in the beginning of the book of Joshua, only be strong and courageous. God’s promise was that he would bring them into their land and they would possess it. They would fight, and God would fight for them! The Lord of Hosts would bring them victory as the Captain of the Angel Armies! They would possess their promised land! The word for possess in Hebrew is yaresh, and it means to possess by dispossessing or driving out the previous inhabitants. In other words, receive your inheritance of promise by being a contender that drives out every pretender! It’s not a time to be discouraged (robbed of courage) or disheartened (robbed of heart for the battle) or to be weary in doing what is right or required. Keep praising, keep praying, keep fasting, keep prophesying, keep giving, keep living right! Fatalism The ploy of fatalism is to try to get us to accept the inevitability of the enemy’s triumph; to release a wave of hopelessness against us. However, the truth is that our God revels in impossibilities and impossible odds! Don’t give in or give up in the face of overwhelming forces! Remember Moses with Pharaoh’s army hot on his trail as he stood in front of the Red Sea! Remember David facing Goliath! Remember Gideon’s victory! Remember Elisha’s decree, “More are they with us than they that are with them!” And remember, in Esther’s day, it looked like it was too late and that the schemes of the enemy had been enacted and codified into law. But she made an appeal to the king and said “If I perish, I perish; I believe I have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.” And because of her faith, a major, divine reversal took place for the people of God; Haman and his 10 sons were hung on the very gallows they prepared for Mordecai and Esther. It’s time for the Esther church to arise and make an appeal to heaven! Fatalism wants to convince you that it’s over before you get started. It whispers, even in a prophetic sense, saying “don’t you know that it’s the end times? It’s too late, the antichrist will arise, this has been prophesied and there is nothing you can do about it.” However, that has never been God’s word to his people. He said He will have a glorious church without spot or wrinkle before He returns, and that we are called to occupy till He comes. He said if his people will pray and turn, then He will hear from Heaven and heal the land! The Ekklesia is always the determining factor! Jesus said that He will build His Ekklesia and they would be given the keys to the Kingdom; they would have the power to prevail against the gates of hell and open up the gates of heaven. Daniel declared that there would be a time when it felt like the enemy was prevailing or winning; but then a decree would come from the Ancient of Days that would loose favor on the Saints of the Most High so they could take the kingdom. This is not a time to shrink back, kick back, or give up, but to advance God’s kingdom in the earth. Let’s contend for God’s purposes in the earth as overcomers filled with faith, power, and passion to welcome the King of Glory, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord strong in battle, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords! Don’t run away. It’s time to cross over and defeat fear, fatigue, and fatalism. Run to the battle! Pray with me: Lord, we pray that we will not shrink back or be controlled because of fear or intimidation! We ask for strength to battle at the gates to see the victory. And for hope to cause us to engage and understand our role as the Ekklesia - to see the battle shift and healing come to our land. Our decree: We decree that the Ekklesia will be bold and courageous, ready to run to the battle! We speak strength into every weary warrior and joy in the battle! We decree that our God will fight for us and the God of peace will soon crush satan underneath our feet! We will cross over! We will speak to every demonic storm, ‘Peace, Be Still!’ And we will take authority over every demonic, controlling spirit the Lord has sent us to conquer! ******************************* Today’s post was contributed by Pastor Tom Hamon.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-21-2021 December 21 , 2021 A Christmas to Remember (Contributed by Cheryl Sacks) It was just before Christmas, and we were two months behind in our mortgage payments. On January 1, our home would go into foreclosure. Hal and I had no money to buy Christmas gifts for each other or for our five-year-old daughter, Nicole. When Nicole gave us her Christmas list, it contained only one item…a pair of blue jeans with pink flowers on the pocket. I was praying fervently that we’d have money for Christmas and that we would not lose our home. Yet, I was starting to feel discouraged. The next day, Nicole came home from school and handed me the school newsletter. The school was asking us to participate in the Christmas tradition of giving to those in need. I had a clear sense that we should try to do something for one of the three families the school wanted to help…even though we ourselves were in desperate need. The newsletter listed specific needs for each family, simply labeled as families A, B, and C. I noted that Family B needed clothing for a five-year-old girl. Since I wanted to include Nicole in the shopping process, I decided we would adopt Family B, so that she could relate to giving to someone her own age. The next afternoon, Nicole and I went shopping at K-Mart. As we pushed the basket along together, we looked for some item of clothing that would be right for a little girl her age. Soon we came to a rack of girls’ jeans, and Nicole spotted a pair with little pink flowers on the back pocket. “Oh!” she said excitedly, “I just know the little girl will want these!” Into the cart went the jeans with pink flowers. My mind was already racing ahead. If the parents didn’t have money for jeans, then they wouldn’t have money to purchase a shirt to complete the outfit. “Now, let’s find a blouse or something to go with these jeans,” I told Nicole. Soon we found just the right thing – a pink sweater with a black and white panda bear on the front and a matching pink shirt. I was rejoicing at the blessing of giving this special gift. Yet a few minutes later as we stood in line, my excitement waned. There in the basket was the exact item my daughter wanted for Christmas…jeans with pink flowers on the pocket ...in just her size. Now with my last $25, I was going to buy them for someone else’s little girl. I thought of how I’d always believed in giving sacrificially. Years before I had learned about “seedtime and harvest,” sowing and reaping, from Oral Roberts. Whether you have little or much, just like a farmer, it’s not wise to eat your seed, but to plant it and watch it multiply. I’d seen this truth work in our lives over and over again. Yet, right then I was wavering. “Lord,” I prayed. “If what I’ve believed about “sowing and reaping” is really true, then I need You to prove it to me now.” We checked out at the cash register and went home. But all throughout the day I was still vacillating. I began contemplating wrapping up the gift and giving it to Nicole rather than to the little girl in Family B. That night as I pulled out the wrapping paper, I still did not know what to do. Finally, I walked into Hal’s office where he was studying and told him what a struggle I was having. I reiterated what he already knew. Our own daughter had asked for jeans for Christmas just like the ones I had purchased to give away. How much sense did it make to give them to someone else’s little girl? “I believe I know what we’re supposed to do,” Hal said. “But take some time to pray and hear from the Lord what He wants you to do.” I opened my Bible and the pages fell open to Ecclesiastes 11:1-6: “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days…He who observes the wind (and waits for all conditions to be favorable) will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap… In the morning sow your seed and in the evening withhold not your hand …” It was evening, and I was considering withholding my gift. It was clear the Lord was telling me not to wait for conditions to be favorable…to cast my bread upon the waters. I wrapped the jeans, pink blouse, and panda bear sweater in white tissue paper as the school had requested and wrote “Family B” on the outside of the package. Later as I was wrapping some small items for the woman in Family B, Hal walked in. “What size is the man in that family we’re giving to?” Hal asked. I looked on the sheet and replied, “Medium.” A few moments later, Hal entered carrying his new gray sweater vest. “I want you to wrap this up and give it to the man on the list,” he said. “Oh, that is your favorite piece of clothing!” I said. “We should always give God our best,” he said. And with that I wrapped the gray sweater vest. The next day Nicole took her gifts to school. As was the tradition, the children brought their gifts forward during a school assembly and placed them at the foot of a manger cradling “baby Jesus.” These presents were first and foremost a gift of love to the Savior. As Nicole shared with me about presenting our family’s gifts to the Lord, I was reminded of how God demonstrated the principle of sowing and reaping through the life of His Son Jesus Christ. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will never die but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). God gave His only Son, His most precious possession, first ― then received many sons and daughters in return. Through the principle of sowing, God reaped the greatest harvest in the history of the world. The next Sunday afternoon I was getting ready to go to the evening service at our church. I heard the doorbell ring and looked outside the window to see a white station wagon which I recognized as that of our friends Mario and Cathy Rossetti. They lived just around the corner and our kids attended the same school. As I opened the front door, Mario began unloading boxes filled with gifts. The boxes kept coming and coming. There must have been fifteen boxes or more. I noticed they were all wrapped in white tissue paper. “What is this?” I asked. But before Mario could answer, my eyes scanned several packages. Each one was marked “Family B”! “Oh,” I grabbed my heart! “The jeans with the pink flowers and the panda bear sweater. They’re in one of these boxes! The gray sweater vest. It’s in there too!” Then I remembered Hal saying, “We must always give God our best.” I breathed an awe-filled prayer. “Lord, You knew this all along! When I was standing in line at K-Mart complaining, You knew. When You led me to read the verse in Ecclesiastes, ‘Cast your bread upon the waters and you will find it after many days,’ You knew!” How had I ever doubted God’s Word? A half-hour later Hal pulled into the driveway after running errands. “Hurry, we’re late for church!” “Hal,” I said. “Could you come to the bedroom for just a moment? I have something to show you!” “I’ll look at it later,” he said. “We’re going to be late.” “You have to come now,” I said, and I took his arm and directed him into our bedroom. There on the floor, the furniture, and everywhere in between were boxes and boxes of gifts. “What is all this?” he exclaimed. “Do you know who Family B is?” I asked. “No, who?” he said. “WE are Family B! WE are Family B…you, Nicole, and me!” On Christmas Day we opened our presents. Among the gifts were a man’s gray sweater vest size medium, and size five girl’s jeans with pink flowers on the pocket, and a matching panda bear sweater and pink shirt. “But what about the poor little girl?” Nicole asked as she opened her gift. It would be years before she would learn the significance of that Christmas gift. It had been only a few years before this that the Lord had called us to leave our secular jobs and start the Christian ministry which is now BridgeBuilders. We didn’t yet have many supporters and we often went without a salary. We were completely dependent on the Lord to provide for our needs. The week between Christmas and New Year’s we received a call from a pastor in another town. He and his wife were coming to Phoenix and wanted to stop by and drop off a gift. We were excited to see our friends and receive what I thought was to be the gift of a turkey. “We can definitely use it!” I said out loud. We opened the door wide and greeted the couple. As they entered, the pastor pulled a check out of his pocket and handed it to Hal. We learned that the pastor had challenged his congregation to give to the Christmas missions fund the same amount of money they were giving in gifts to their friends and family. The collection had been split between our family and an overseas missionary. Hal and I looked at the check…it was made out for $1500! Fifteen hundred dollars! Exactly enough money to catch up on our home mortgage payments. Pray with me: Father, through the years, when money is tight and pressures grow great, You often remind me of this story. I know You never want us to forget that we are in a covenant relationship with You, and that if we will act in obedience to plant seeds of kindness, love, and resources, You will be faithful to multiply them. You said, “Give and gifts will be given you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will they pour into your bosom. For with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others—it will be measured back to you” (Luke 6:38). Help us to become even more like You, Father, and Your giving heart. You gave first, and You gave the greatest gift. Amen. **************************************** Today’s post was contributed by Cheryl Sacks.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-20-2021 December 20, 2021 Have You Been Marked..? A Christmas Consideration “Jimmy was nine when his mom told him his little sister was sick and would die if she didn’t get a blood transfusion – and that Jimmy was one of the only people in the world who had the rare blood type needed. She asked him if he would be willing to let the doctors give his blood to his sister. “Jimmy was very somber. He didn’t know what was involved, but he loved his sister and agreed to give his blood. “On the appointed day, Jimmy was solemn, but brave, when the nurse put the needle into his vein and began to drain his blood. After a few minutes of watching the bag fill, he looked scared. The nurse said, ‘Don’t worry, it will be over soon.’ “The boy accepted her assurances and asked, ‘How much longer will it be before I die?’ “The nurse was shocked. ‘You’re not going to die!’ she said, and then wept when she realized Jimmy thought he had to give all his blood to save his sister.”(1) What a powerful story. No greater love… The Christmas season is one of the most remarkable times of the year. A time when we celebrate Christ’s birth as a human…so He could give his blood and die. Unlike Jimmy, He had to give all, laying down His life for us. Because of this, Christmas is, indeed, a time of giving. Appropriately so. As such, it’s also a good time for each of us to take inventory, just to make sure we maintain the proper heart toward giving and receiving - it’s more blessed to give than receive. The spirit of the age can sink its claws into us at times, without us even being aware it is happening. Christmas is also a great time of year for imparting to our children the spirit of giving. If done properly, they can be marked for life with God’s giving heart and nature. Or, sadly, Christmas can also be a time when we teach them that the greatest thing in life is receiving. Relax. This is not a post discouraging you from giving your kids gifts at Christmas. It is simply a reminder that it truly is more blessed to give than to receive. Years ago, my life was marked by a man named Wayne Myers. He is, without a doubt, the person who embodies this truth more than any I have ever known. I’ve watched Wayne give tens of thousands of dollars away, on multiple occasions, and be almost giddy with excitement in doing so. Sometimes the gifts were not so large. I once saw him empty his wallet to a Bible school student - while on his way to the airport! This was 40 years ago when there were no cash machines to replenish his supply. He then asked his wife who was traveling with him if she had any more cash on her, because he didn’t think what he had was enough to give the student. That was Brother Wayne. So, some of you may be thinking, a few thousand dollars here and there is not that much for a person to give; many people do that. Perhaps so. But Wayne is not a millionaire businessman or a philanthrapist. He is a missionary to Mexico who, for all the years I was blessed to have contact with him, didn’t even own a home. Wayne’s motto in life is “Live to give.” And he has. Wayne would almost become violent if someone else tried to pick up the check at a restaurant. The giving nature of God oozed out from every cell of his body. His generosity was so infectious that one had to budget the number of times they heard Wayne speak each year! Because when listening to him, that month’s budget was blown. Of course, Wayne was so full of faith that God would return the money many times over - and he proved it hundreds of times - that you found yourself believing it, also. What a legacy. Ceci and I have tried to live by the truth that it is more blessed to give than receive, though nowhere near the level Wayne has walked in. And we have proven over and over the truth that it truly is more blessed to give than to receive. Personally, though Wayne was used to fan the flames, this mindset began in me while serving in a food line in Guatemala, after the horrendous earthquake of 1976. It killed 30,000 people in 30 seconds and left 1 million homeless. Having been there when it occurred, I stayed to participate in the relief work. In the village of San Pedro, which was obliterated, I was serving in a soup line. People were holding broken jars, cups, cans - anything they could find in which to receive a small portion of soup. Most hadn’t eaten for days. As I ladled out small portions, I was watching the soup disappear too quickly. Hoping against hope I kept scooping...and watching. The last person in line was a lady holding her three-year-old daughter; they were the only two survivors in a family of six. As she got nearer, I could see it coming: there wouldn’t be enough. Still, I hoped. The last of the soup was served just before she held out her jar. As I looked into her eyes my heart was shattered. It was like someone punched me in the gut. Through tears, I used my broken Spanish and said, “No mas, no mas.” At that moment, I would have given everything I owned for just one bowl of soup to give them. My world was wrecked. My definition of success changed. Priorities were reordered. Bank accounts were looked at differently. And what really mattered in my life was turned topsy-turvy. I began to truly understand: it is more blessed to give than to receive. Years later, Ceci and I were planning a ministry trip to Mexico City. We decided to take our daughters, Sarah and Hannah - ages 9 and 7. We wanted them to see how less fortunate people lived in other countries. When our gracious hosts asked us what tourist activity or place we would like them to take the kids to, Ceci surprised them. “An orphanage,” she said, “I want you to take us to an orphanage.” They found one two hours away and our two daughters rocked and held orphaned children for an afternoon. The journey was beginning for them, as well. They began learning it is more blessed to give than to receive. The experience marked them. Consider taking some time this year to teach your children the joy of giving to those in need. Do not allow Christmas to be only about receiving. Take them to a feeding center and allow them to serve. Load up the family and take groceries to a family struggling financially. Set everyone down and discuss together what your family could do this year to help a less fortunate family enjoy Christmas. Sow a family gift to a missionary who is telling unreached people about Jesus. Adopt a child through Compassion International, One Child, or another worthy ministry. Help a family that lost everything in the recent tornadoes. There are many opportunities, just find one. Mark your children with the heart of Jesus. Pray with me: Father, we thank You for the incredible blessings we enjoy in America. Thank You for all You have given us through Your Son, Jesus. You taught us - and demonstrated - that it is better to give than to receive. This Christmas season, keep us reminded of this. We pray for those who are suffering lack this Christmas. The poor, hungry, homeless - we pray that they would find their way out of poverty and loss. Give them a fresh start. We pray for those suffering from the tornadoes. Bring them hope in this tragic time. Send them a friend, a helping hand, relief. And most of all, we pray for those who do not know Christ as Savior. Send someone to them with the good news. Assign an intercessor to pray for them. Open their eyes, lift the veil. We ask all this in Christ’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that greed will not control us. Generosity will be our guiding principle. ******************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. _______________________________ Adapted from: https://raycenter.wp.drake.edu/2016/04/28/the-ultimate-gift/

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-17-2021 December 17, 2021 “God’s Mega Event” A Christmas Prophecy We have spent a good deal of time this week and last addressing the abortion issue. Today’s post is a general word from Holy Spirit through my brother, Tim Sheets and connected to the first Christmas. It is powerful and VERY encouraging. You are going to want all of your friends to hear this word! Share it, please. Tim says: “Recently, I asked Holy Spirit for fresh revelation and insight concerning this Christmas season. He very clearly responded to me saying, ‘Prophesy from Luke’s writings on the birth of Jesus Christ. Prophesy it into your times.’ “In the first chapter of Luke we read that a supernatural mega event, planned by the Godhead in heaven, had come to its appointed moment. The Christmas narrative gives us the miraculous story of Christ’s birth and it also prophesies into our times. It explains the powerful creative abilities of Almighty God that can come from the spirit realm into the natural realm and change everything. This incredible story explains how the master plan of the Godhead began to be implemented on the earth under Holy Spirit’s supervision and also with the angel armies. “Woven throughout the story, we see how the prophetic promises that had been given for thousands of years all had to align supernaturally. The characters that were to be part of this awesome event had to be born at the right time and grow into their moment. The story reveals that hell cannot stop any purpose of God coming onto the earth. It also shows that Lucifer and his kingdom have no clear understanding of what the Godhead is planning. It proclaims that while hell’s kingdom is real, it is inferior in every way, shape and form to the Kingdom of Almighty God. And it reveals how the supernatural impacts and invades the natural realm. “During this time of history, the soul of Israel was suppressed and there was a shroud of hopelessness throughout the land. However, God had been planning a mega event. He was planning for massive change on earth, and this is what He says is going to happen again. The miraculous birth of Jesus shows it was time for the kingship of Jesus to be introduced in a new way. It was time for a living, ever-expanding Kingdom to be revealed. The moment had come for God to be with us and for Holy Spirit to live inside of us. Holy Spirit’s hovering and overshadowing would cause new, seemingly impossible things to spring forth. He birthed something in a teenage girl that would change the world, and a few years later birthed new things in the younger generation through the disciples. We also see the older generation giving birth to the new through Zachariah and Elizabeth. Every generation was included in this mega event. “As I prayed about this, I received a prophetic download. Hear the ‘wind words’ of Holy Spirit penetrating our times and activating power to shift a nation. “‘For you have come to an appointed time, says the Lord of hosts. Another supernatural mega event has been planned by heaven for you. It is accelerating into the earth realm. Lucifer, his kingdom, and rulers of darkness will not stop it. You will see My kingship manifest upon the earth in new ways. New levels of reigning power will now reach into the governments of nations. Dictators, oligarchs, hierarchies and family dynasties that run with the camp of Beelzebub, and those who run demon errands will be confronted and stopped by My power. It will rise exponentially in new places, new ways and through new and renewed sons and daughters of all generations. I am releasing new mantles for new times. New anointings reserved for this era are now being poured from heaven as My supply river flows from My throne through all Ekklesias and into all of the earth. “‘This new flow of Holy Spirit will cause the expansion of My Kingdom in ways and displays never before seen. Indeed, says the Lord, the mind of man captured and bound by reason will be blown. For it will be seen that I cannot be confined by reason or science. I cannot be confined by man’s laws or wisdom. I cannot be confined by the language of fools. I cannot be confined by your capitals, congresses or parliaments. I cannot be confined by your religions. None on earth or in the universe can confine Me. I will break out against all confinement. The shattering of confinement has begun, says the Lord. “‘Yes indeed, I have a surprise for you. I have a new event planned for you. I have a new pentecost planned for you. My Ekklesia will see the breaking off of confinement and function in new anointings of Holy Spirit. For I have remembered My word through the prophet Joel. It is part of My supernatural mega event. I am pouring out My Spirit on all flesh, the young and old together. I have given visions to My young men by the multiplied thousands. They will now run with Me, sounding forth awakening. I have put My prophetic words in the heart of My handmaidens. Like Mary, they are highly favored and will prophesy. Prophetic declarations have been put in their heart by My Holy Spirit. They will speak My words into the nations. ‘“The babes, the teens, the male, the female will all participate in My outpouring. My older, seasoned generations are dreaming again, says the Lord. I am giving them new dreams and I am activating their old dreams. I am anointing their dreams to break forth from confinement. Those called ‘barren’ will now produce, says the Lord of hosts. My Zachariahs and Elizabeths will give birth to their dreams. They will sing with exuberance. Holy Spirit’s hovering, flowing, overshadowing presence will now birth new things. They will spring forth. “‘The presentation of My Ekklesia will now manifest in ways never seen before. Church will be done in new ways as Holy Spirit blends the new with the renewed and activates the gospel of My Kingdom. This will be confirmed with power-signs heaven will provide. It will be a message confirmed with creative miracles and assisted by My Kingdom’s angel armies. Angelic visitations will increase as I release My messengers with destiny messages. Revelation, understanding and enlightenment will accelerate in My sons and daughters as My DNA will be revealed inside of them. My mind will be revealed in them as Holy Spirit guides and provides. “‘I will do exactly what I promised. Through My Ekklesia, I will fulfill My prophetic unction released through My handmaiden in Galilee. Mercy will flow in wave after wave. There will be new births and new birthings. I will bear My arm and show My strength to this world. I will scatter the bluffing braggarts. I will knock tyrants off their high horses. I will pull victims out of the mud. I will sit the starving down to a banquet. I will remember and embrace My chosen ones, piling on favoring mercy, doing exactly what I told them I would do. I will be God with you. I will move more and more into the earth realm manifesting Myself among My people, producing change all over the world. Change is coming.’” ********************* Pray with me: Lord, we receive Your prophetic utterance. Be it unto us exactly as You said. Be it unto us according to Your Word. We are entering into a time that has been planned by You. Accelerate into this world. Manifest in this nation. Pour out Your Spirit on all flesh. Give us new visions and new dreams. Break off any confinement. Confirm Your Word with signs, wonders and miracles. Let new anointing pour from heaven as Your supply river flows from Your throne through Your Ekklesias. We declare the barren will now produce! Activate Your angel armies and release revelation, understanding and enlightenment to Your sons and daughters. Let the spirit realm move into the natural realm and begin to change things. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. Our Decree: We are moving into a supernatural mega event, planned by God, that will change this nation and the entire world. **************************** Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim Sheets.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-14-2021 December 14, 2021 Two Women At Christmas As we approach Christmas let’s consider the story of two women who were significant in the birth of our Savior, the promised Messiah: Mary and Elizabeth. The younger one seeking out the older. Lives touching. Mentoring occurring. A divine encounter, a God-set up. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is unique in history. Yet she had a humble beginning. Pastor Jack Hayford says we may wonder about her, “Was Mary possibly only a plain girl with simple faith, raised in an ordinary home, scheduled for an arranged marriage, and headed for an uneventful future married to the town carpenter? The suggestion that she was ordinary comes from the words Mary sings: ‘For He has regarded the lowly state of His handmaiden. He has exalted the lowly’” (Luke 1:48). Hayford adds: “God clothes Himself in the ordinary so He can come to ordinary people—you and me.” 1 Mary and Elizabeth. Both were having miracle babies who would affect history. Both women could have been labeled “disgraced” by their Hebrew peers - Elizabeth for being barren, Mary for being pregnant before marriage. Both knew God intimately, were worshipers, and were acquainted with Scripture. The Christmas story began not in Bethlehem but in Nazareth, where Mary received the message from Gabriel. He disclosed God’s plan for her life. “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!...Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.” (Luke 1: 28-32 NKJV) When Mary questioned Gabriel how this could happen, since she was a virgin, he explained: “Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the holy Child will be called the Son of God… and His kingdom will have no end.” (Luke 1:30-35). Mary, in bold obedience replied, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word” (verse 38). And the angel departed from her. “We can hardly fathom the bewildering moment Mary experienced,” Freda Lindsay reminds us. “That she was a privileged vessel, chosen to bear God's Son, is wonder enough, for she is a participant in the miracle of the Incarnation at a level no other human being can comprehend. It is clear she did not claim to understand it herself, yet she was obedient,”2 At first, Mary was troubled, pondering the situation. But the angel had told her some great news: “And behold your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible with God” (verses 36-37). Mary may have wondered just why the angel told her Elizabeth is pregnant. But she got up and hurried to see Elizabeth in the village of En Karem in the Judean hill country, about 65 miles away. How did she get there? Did she go in a caravan of camels or donkeys? Did she have morning sickness? Was Joseph, to whom she was engaged, okay with her going? We don’t know the answers. However, she is quickly getting herself to the house of her relative Elizabeth, who’s married to the priest, Zechariah. When Mary entered their home the baby in Elizabeth’s womb leapt with joy (Luke 1:41). But get this: Elizabeth not only praised God in a loud voice, but she was also filled with Holy Spirit (verse 41). (I wonder if she would have had this experience with Holy Spirit’s infilling if Mary had not come). Mary did not even have to explain to her that she was pregnant, for God had revealed it to Elizabeth. She said to Mary, almost as a prophecy, “Blessed are you among women. Blessed is the child you shall bear. Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:41-43). Think about this: Elizabeth was six months pregnant, five of those hidden in seclusion. Her husband, Zechariah - a priest, could not talk to her. He had been struck mute when he questioned the angel who came to him after he had burned incense in the temple (Luke 1:20). The angel told him that his wife, who was barren and advanced in age, would bear a son. They were to name him John and he would be great in the sight of the Lord. (He was later known as John the Baptist). While she was expecting her baby boy, Elizabeth’s husband could only communicate with her by writing on a wax tablet or with hand motions. Did her seclusion also mean she did not fetch water at the well when other women were there or even intermingle with them in the marketplace? A Jewish wife in those days prepared the meals, cared for the children, made and washed the clothes, went to the market, tended the lamps. She was expected to be a good housekeeper and an affectionate mother who set the “love level” in the home. Sons usually went to study Torah at an early age and learned a trade from their father. Girls did not receive the formal training as sons did, but evidence shows both Mary and Elizabeth knew the Scriptures. Since Elizabeth was the wife of a priest and daughter of a family of priests from the house of Aaron, she probably heard much godly talk from guests in her home. Mary’s song of exaltation - Magnificat - contains references from Hannah’s prayer nearly a thousand years earlier as she praised God for her baby Samuel. Mary was possibly still a teenager. The advice and wisdom of an older woman would be valuable as she pondered many things in her heart. But didn’t Elizabeth also need her company? Mary stayed three months with her (Luke 1:56). Observing, confiding in her, no doubt receiving mentoring and love and spiritual insights. Elizabeth may have talked to Mary about how to be a good wife and she was surely a great encourager and influencer, giving her a blessing and honor. They obviously spent time together worshipping the Lord. Mary provided Elizabeth companionship, conversation and most certainly helped her with household chores. They each had something of worth to share in this short-term but significant relationship. Just think, Elizabeth was the first human to acknowledge Jesus as the Lord--while he was yet unborn. Let’s not fail to recognize Holy Spirit’s part in this first Christmas drama concerning these two women. As we have already mentioned, first Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary (Luke 1:35). Then He filled Elizabeth and the baby in her womb with Himself also. Finally, even Zachariah. On the eighth day after their baby’s birth when they took him to be circumcised and to announce John’s name, Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit (Luke 1:67). His tongue was loosed and he was able to speak again. So he, a priest, began to prophesy about both the coming Messiah and about his son, John, who would be a forerunner for Him. This Christmas season as we reflect on the various people involved in the birth of Jesus, let’s draw lessons from their examples. Are there younger people in our lives we could encourage? Mentor? Are there those we can pray for to receive Jesus as Savior? Or to receive Holy Spirit’s touch? God is looking for ordinary people-- like you and me to help make a difference for Him in the lives of those with whom we interact. Divine connections. He has given us a story to tell. Jesus is the reason for the season! Let’s go share this great news. Pray with me: Thank You, Heavenly Father, for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to be bold to share this good news, especially during this Christmas season, and bring others to Him for their salvation. Thank You that just as the angel told Mary nothing is or ever shall be impossible for God, so may we believe for the miracles we need also. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen. Our decree: I will never doubt God - for He who promised is faithful - even sending us a Savior, the very Son of God. ***************************************** Today’s post was written by our dear friend and author Quin Sherrer.

4 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-13-2021 December 13, 2021 The Victory Meal I have been asked if I would be willing to lead in a time of Communion on a Give Him15 post, as we join Matt Lockett and Lou Engle in prayer and Communion regarding the Dobbs abortion case. I felt this was a great idea. There are many places in scripture we could look to as a jumping-off point to talk about “the Lord’s Table,” as some call Communion. I want to use Genesis 14:17-24. This is a very significant, amazing, and important passage, filled with prophetic pictures of our redemption. I will move slowly as I read the post, in order to make sure you track with me. Though I provide several references, I won’t read them. Let’s begin by reading four of the verses, 17-20: “Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). And Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said, ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has handed over your enemies to you.’ And he gave him a tenth of everything” (NASV). This is the first mention of “bread and wine” spoken of together in Scripture, and they wouldn’t be mentioned again until the night before the Cross. As such, it is an obvious prophetic picture of Christ’s last supper with His disciples. How else do we know this? Follow me carefully. Melchizedek was a type or picture of Christ (Psalm 110; Hebrews 5:6,10; 6:20; 7:1-10); we are represented by Abraham, our father of faith (Romans 3:27-4:25). Melchizedek was a Canaanite, a race of people under a curse (Genesis 9:25 - “Cursed be Canaan”). As king over a cursed race of people, bestowing a blessing on Abraham, Melchizedek pictures Christ “having become a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13)…that “the blessing of Abraham might come to” us (verse 14). As mentioned, to show that this occurrence with Melchizedek and Abraham did indeed picture our redemption while at the Last Supper, Christ departed from the traditional meal - and for the first time since Genesis 14 - gave the disciples “bread and wine.” Also, it is imperative to note that the bread and wine meal in Genesis 14 was a celebration of victory following Abraham’s defeat of unrighteous leaders attempting to steal his family and inheritance. This was a victory meal! But it represented so much more than just Abraham’s victory that day. In the passage and for the first time in Scripture, God refers to Himself as the “Most High God” 4 times, and “possessor of heaven and earth” twice. This was a declaration that satan, who had tried to become the “most high” through his rebellion in heaven (see Isaiah 14:14), had not only failed in taking over heaven, but he would not become the possessor of earth, either. God was declaring, “satan couldn’t have heaven, he can’t have the human race and he won’t have earth! I will redeem the earth and My family!” Amazing..! When Christ gave the disciples the bread and wine at the Last Supper telling them these elements represented His body and blood, He was celebrating victory in advance. He knew, of course, the price He was about to pay; but He also knew He would win. And when we partake of communion, yes, we should remember the horrible price Jesus paid to redeem us; but we should also remember that it represents the greatest victory in the history of creation. Satan was defeated, the curse was broken, and we were restored into blessing - redeemed back into the family of God. Christ’s blood on the mercy seat of heaven is still the guarantee of this new covenant. Because of His blood, we can ask for mercy. We can ask that America be delivered from the curse associated with the shedding of innocent blood, and appeal to heaven for deliverance from this disgraceful evil. We can ask that through His mercy, God moves strongly over the Supreme Court of America, speaking in whatever way necessary to at least five Justices, motivating them to reverse Roe v. Wade. And we can ask for the cleansing and healing of our land. COMMUNION: Father, as we take the bread together in a moment, we remember the broken body of Jesus, sacrificed for our healing and restoration. We thank You, Jesus, for becoming one of us, the Son of Man, to bring us back into Your family. You are the Bread of Life and as we partake of this bread today, it reminds us that we are to partake continually of Your life. Eat the bread. (Feel free to pause the video for a moment or two if you would like, and spend time in personal prayer and Communion with Him.) 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 is forever defeated. Drink the juice. (Again, feel free to pause and take any amount of time you would like, to spend personal time with Him.) And now, Father, we ask for victory in this recent Supreme Court case. We ask You to break the curse of Roe v. Wade off of America. Let this decision be the beginning of the end of abortion in America. We thank You for this, again, doing all in the name of Christ. Amen. We decree that the power of Christ’s redemption is greater than the power of sin and death. *************************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-10-2021 December 10, 2021 A Radical Obedience to An Extreme Assignment I want to prepare you now for Monday’s post (12/13/21). I have been asked to teach some and lead in communion as we join the ministries of Lou Engle (TheBriefing.us) and Matt Lockett (JHOPDC.com) in prayer and communion regarding the current Supreme Court case. So, on Monday, have your bread and wine (or juice) ready when you read (or listen to) that day’s post. ________________________ God sometimes leads individuals to do extraordinary things as spiritual signs and intercessory acts. Moses stretched his rod over the Red Sea, causing it to roll back; Elisha struck the Jordan River with Elijah’s mantle, causing it to likewise roll back. And tomorrow, John Halversen completes his fourth walk across America! His wife, Sandy, shares some of John’s amazing story: “On December 11th in Seattle, Pastor John Halvorsen completes his 4th Prayer Walk across America, He began prayer walking early in his Christian life because he found himself dozing off while praying in a cozy chair. Soon the Lord began challenging him to expand the areas he walked through, until he was walking across entire nations and continents as ‘prophetic acts’, proclaiming that ‘GOD WANTS HIS WORLD BACK!’ “Prayer Walk America #1 was birthed in 1996, while we were missionaries in Ireland. The power of God came so strongly upon John while out for coffee, that the physical shaking he was experiencing sent him into the men’s room where he cried out to God, ‘Send me back to America!’ Back in Minnesota, while walking and praying through the ‘Mall of America’, Genesis 13:17 became a literal word from the Lord for John: ‘Arise, walk through the land, the length and breadth of it, for I will give it to you.’ As with all unusual divine guidance, John submitted it to his trusted mentor, friends and family, received the green light, and to this day has not been told to stop! “John’s first walk began on the first day of the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, September 21, 1998, with a strong prophetic unction to proclaim that a ‘Season of Trouble’ was coming to America. He walked from the Canadian border in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, along US-61, the Great River Road, following the course of the Mississippi River. His message was broadcast through secular and Christian media all across America, ‘Tumultuous times are coming, we must repent and pray as never before.’ As the Mississippi River was first named ‘Rio De Espiritu Santo’, the ‘River of the Holy Spirit’, and was fiercely contended over during the American Civil War, the intense prayer battle accompanying that walk was over the ‘Free flow of the Holy Spirit’ through the Church. The second American prayer walk was soon birthed. The Lord simply said, ‘You know you aren’t done.’ John knew that a west to east route, the reverse of the routes of exploration, was God’s plan, so on Easter Day of 1999, he began walking in Newport, Oregon, and finished in November at ‘Rehoboth’ Beach, Delaware. Although the Clinton era of ‘Peace and Prosperity’ was in full sway, John continued to proclaim the need for renewed prayer and repentance and that ‘Tumultuous times’ were coming. Also, the prayer focus was on the re-opening of past wells of revival as in Genesis 26:18-22, which ended in victory at the well of Rehoboth. “‘Tumultuous Times’ came to America indeed, on September 11, 2001. We experienced the 9/11 attacks and America’s ‘Season of Trouble’ had begun. “While flying over Europe early in 2008 and gazing down at the Pyrenees Mountains, John knew he must walk again, this time the ancient ‘Crusader’ and ‘Silk Road’ routes, from Portugal to China. Organizing all the details for the two-year walk happened quickly and by November ‘08 we were on our way to Cabo da Roca, Portugal to begin the long prayer journey, which ended 6,000 miles later in Almaty, Kazakhstan, near the Chinese border. Many stories can be told of the challenges and spiritual warfare encountered on the trek through Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and then the train journey through China to Shanghai. John’s prophetic sense was that the Lord of Glory is going to burst through the rusted, bolted gates of these post-Christian, Communist, and Muslim cultures, bringing an ‘End of ancient hostility’ to the Gospel, in unprecedented Revival! “In 2015 the Lord told John to “take the ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag to the North Pole and then get to the South Pole as soon as possible.” He discovered that joining an expedition to each pole was the only way to get there, that the North Pole would require $35,000 and the South Pole a jaw-dropping $50,000! Miraculously, for each trip the money came in at the last minute, as is often God’s way, through ‘appealing to heaven,’ not ‘appealing to man’. God pays for what He orders! “A Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker took a week to crunch through the polar ice to arrive at the North Pole in June 2016. Then in November, 2017 a Russian transport plane got him to Antarctica, and a small prop plane to the actual South Pole. In both cases, he unfurled the ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag and proclaimed the Gospel, as a witness that the Good News has reached the extreme ‘Ends of the Earth’, and to appeal to heaven for global awakening. “In early 2018 the Lord spoke, ‘Are you willing to walk America again?’ “Why Lord? I’ve already done it twice!” “Because America needs a third awakening!” came the answer. John knew this time he would walk a diagonal along Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway, from LA to NYC, beginning on Halloween 2018. Why? To reverse the curse in our nation. He sensed that although America deserves judgment, he was pulling a cord of mercy and that God would grant mercy if His people would enter into deep repentance and prayer. “While visiting Israel after this third prophetic walk across the nation, a van drove past, emblazoned with the words, ‘Johnny Walker, Keep on Walking.’ It was the slogan the Lord had often used to let John know he had a new assignment. ‘Do I walk Israel next?’ he wondered. But it soon became clear that Miami to Seattle was what the Lord had in mind, another diagonal route that completed an X over the nation. So on February 5, 2021, this current walk began in Miami and will finish on December 11 [tomorrow] in Seattle. John has battled extreme spiritual warfare on this walk as he contends for awakening for America, and senses again that he is pulling a cord of mercy. But this time, he believes that at the walk’s end, the cord will be plugged into a power outlet and God’s awakening power will flow. “John feels that all these prophetic walks are connected. The ‘free flow of the Holy Spirit’ through the church...the opening of past wells of revival...overcoming hostility to the Gospel...reversing the curse...the release of God’s mercy and His power cord plugged in. John believes we are about to see the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit ever witnessed throughout the world and to the extreme ends of the earth! “His next prayer walk? John is asking the Lord about Israel. “GOD WANTS HIS WORLD BACK, and WE PROCLAIM HE WILL RECEIVE IT..! IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME..!!” Pray with me: Father, we thank You for servants like John and Sandy Halversen, people who are willing to lay their lives down as intercessors and warriors. You have many who unselfishly do so, some walking their neighborhoods, others driving across the country, still others faithful in their prayer closets and on the jobs they work. Thank You for this army You’re raising up. We pray for John and Sandy as they finish the walk tomorrow. But, as I know they would desire, our greatest prayer is an agreement with them that You will send revival to America and the world. Open past wells of revival, break curses off our land and off other nations. We know that in America 12 cities set records for homicides this year. We appeal to You for the greatest revival EVER, and one that touches the ends of the earth. And as we shall continue to do, we ask for Your hovering presence over the Supreme Court and every Justice, to bring forth Your counsel and will in the recent abortion case. Help us reverse Roe, we pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the prayer army around the world is strong and growing, and that life will win over death. ************************************ You can find out more about John and Sandy Halvorsen and their walks across America here or at www.prayerwalkamerica.com.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-8-2021 December 8, 2021 A Warning Dream Regarding the Abortion Case My good friend, Matt Lockett, leader of the Justice House of Prayer in DC, released a powerful dream and appeal to continue in prayer for the recent Dobbs abortion case heard by the Supreme Court. I have had to shorten it a little, but you can see the entire article plus a video of Matt and Lou Engle discussing it by using these links. Matt shares: A Child Is Born “On Thursday, December 2, one day after the oral arguments in the Dobbs abortion case at the Supreme Court, a team member of the Justice House of Prayer in DC had the following dream: “‘In the dream, I had a one-day-old baby, and it seemed as if it was my daughter, Megan. A witch was trying to poison her. The witch was far away, standing in a wooded area, pouring poison into a stream. I knew this was an attempt to poison my baby. Then, as my baby was drinking from a bowl of water, I felt sudden alarm as I realized the witch had attempted to poison that, also. The witch made several other efforts to poison water, in order to poison my baby. I did not know whether she had been successful. “‘Then the witch stole my baby. “‘In distress, I began desperately searching for her. The place I was searching was like a medical clinic, with many small rooms. The hallways were a maze, small and oddly shaped, some of which I had to squeeze through. It was very difficult to get from one room to another in order to search for her. “‘The scene changed and I was climbing a mountain on a gravel road. Several others whom I didn’t know accompanied me. I thought we were climbing to the top, but after a short climb, barely above the base of the mountain, I saw a shack to my right. It was the only structure in a vast, wooded, mountainous area. The shack was a carpenter’s shop. “‘I knew I needed to purchase a white board at the carpenter shop. When I entered, I saw a long, painted white board leaning on the counter, ready for me. And to my great surprise, my baby was also there on the counter! Alive! I was deeply relieved to have found her. “‘The carpenter was standing a few feet behind the counter but said nothing. I stared at him, trying to discern his intent regarding the baby, to figure out which side he was on. Had he rescued my baby? Or, was he part of the scheme to steal the baby? Should I trust him to help me, or grab the baby and run down the mountain? “‘And I woke from the dream.’” Matt continues, “We feel strongly that this dream about the one-day-old baby is pertaining to the one-day-old court case - about rescuing the babies and the overturning of Roe v. Wade [remember, the dream was given one day after the hearing]. Interestingly, the baby’s name, Megan, is derived from the Greek word megas, meaning mega ‘great.’ This case is of mega importance! “The oral arguments were held on 12/1. Revelation 12:1 and the subsequent verses say, ‘A megas or mega sign appeared in heaven: a woman… She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: a megas, mega red dragon… The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.’ “In verse 5 of Revelation 12, there was war in the heavens. We are in a spiritual war right now against witchcraft and forces of darkness seeking to ‘poison’ the minds of judges determining this case. We know the Lord’s desire is to grant us victory, but the battle isn’t over. “[Last Friday (12/3)] the Justices cast their preliminary votes on the case and now the opinions will be written. It is very important that we not let victory be stolen [we believe that quite likely we have won this case] or the language of the opinions be poisoned in any way. We want to enforce the verdict of Heaven, which is that Roe v. Wade is overturned. “In 1992, Roe could have been struck down in the courts, but Justice Kennedy was swayed to change his vote at the last moment. This reveals that we must war over the 9 Justices and against the witchcraft at work to influence them. Also, we must continue to ask the Lord to unite the 5 conservative justices together in a coalition of conscience for the ending of Roe. Pray for Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett to hold fast to their God-inspired convictions. “We also received a dream recently concerning Chief Justice John Roberts. In the dream, Roberts was seen weeping at the foot of his blank tombstone. Next to him was another tombstone upon which was engraved the purposes God had intended for him to fulfill in his position of influence. Written there, among other purposes, was the overturning of Roe v. Wade. However, Roberts had failed to agree with God’s plans for his life. Let’s pray for him, in light of this dream, that he would not miss his greatest moment to partner with God in the ending of abortion. “Meanwhile, if the warfare depicted in the ‘Megan dream’ is true, and we believe it is, then it reveals a current and crucial element of witchcraft we must contend against. There is clearly more than just a political or legal battle regarding abortion. We are dealing with a mega spiritual battle concerning the very altar of death in our nation. This is why, as intercessors, we believe we are being called into a divine assignment. To miss this moment could be to miss everything. “During the oral arguments on Wednesday, there was much discussion surrounding so-called medical facts regarding the viability of a fetus. In the dream, however, the baby could not be found or rescued in the ‘medical maze.’ We must look elsewhere. The dream shows there is a mountain that must be climbed to find and rescue the baby. We believe it is the mountain of the Lord. “When the mother begins to climb the mountain, she encounters a carpenter’s shack. We believe the carpenter on the mountain symbolizes Jesus. When the mother goes inside, Jesus has the baby, yet she doesn’t know this and is wondering whose side He’s on. This part of the dream reminds us of Joshua when he encountered the angel of the Lord outside of Jericho. “Joshua was about to face giants. It’s our conviction that this court case is facing the greatest demonic giant in our nation. When Jesus, the Captain of the Hosts of Heaven, appeared to him, Joshua questioned which side the Warrior was on. The Lord answered, basically, ‘Wrong question. Whose side are YOU on?’ America must side with Jesus, careful to align with His desire to end Roe v. Wade. “We believe that ‘ascending’ the mountain of the Lord is ascending in our spiritual authority. “Therefore, we invite you into 21 days of prayer and communion from now until Christmas [December 5-25]. We understand that our greatest weapon against the forces of witchcraft is the blood of Jesus. “In addition to this call to prayer and communion, there is an aspect of the dream we believe is a call to prayer in the night watches. The white board that needed to be purchased at the carpenter shop may seem like a random detail, but our team immediately associated it with a dream I had in 2004. “In that dream, I saw Lou Engle praying with a room full of young people in an all-night prayer meeting. There was a large blackboard full of abortion statistics. He watched as each person who prayed would then strike a chalk eraser against the board. Every strike released a cloud of white chalk dust, which gradually covered the blackboard. By morning, the blackboard was entirely white and the abortion statistics were no longer visible. Perhaps the way to ‘purchase the white board’ at this time is to engage in nighttime prayer, countering the prayers of witches and warlocks whose activity is heightened during those hours. “In addition to Jesus, the carpenter may also represent Joseph, who was warned by a dream in the night. His swift obedience to escape with Mary and the baby in the cover of darkness, is what saved the child from Herod’s sword. “Therefore, we also invite those who feel led, to join us over the next 21 days, from December 5-25, in forming an ongoing chain of prayer between the hours of 10PM and 6AM. You can sign up here to let us know when you are taking your place on the wall of intercession in your time zone. “Let’s preside together over these judges in prayer, restrain the powers of darkness, and partner with the Captain of the Hosts in tearing down the altar of abortion.” Pray with me: Father, we are well aware of the spiritual battle for the babies. Throughout history, demons have required blood sacrifices from their worshipers. We also know this empowers them, opening doors for curses and death. We here in America are no doubt experiencing many of these curses, having literally covenanted with death. As we partner with You in rescuing the babies, we bind the witchcraft and demonic attempts to influence the Justices in this case (see Matthew 16:18-19). We refuse to allow them or the babies to be poisoned. The babies will not be stolen. We do this in the name of Jesus. We ask You to raise up and motivate many to join this prayer assignment. May we not falter during this time of opportunity and crisis. Please awaken many in the church to pray, even during the night watches. Awaken pastors, motivating them to call their churches to pray. Please do something to break any complacency off of pastors, leaders, and churches. May they realize that there simply cannot be business as usual in this season. Amen. Our decree: We decree, in the name of Christ, that the babies will be saved. *************************************** Today’s post was taken from The Briefing (link here) and written by Matt Lockett, director of JHOP (the Justice House of Prayer) in Washington, D.C.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-6-2021 December 6, 2021 A Lesson from Cuba We all become too inwardly focused at times. Life has a way of distracting us from important “basics.” One of those is a care and concern for others not of our household or tribe. Larry Tomczak encourages us to pause today from our busy routine to ponder the plight of friends and fellow Christians still enslaved in the socialist state of Cuba. We are instructed by Holy Spirit to: “Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them. Look on the victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you” (Hebrews13:3 MET). Larry shares: “Anyone listening to Bernie Sanders, A.O.C. and other progressive Democrats promoting a socialist utopia for America, should consider the brutal realities of what life is like in a country just 90 miles away. Bottom line: it's heartbreaking. Ask folks in Venezuela, as well. People Are Suffering and Scared “Four months ago thousands of Cubans, repressed for over 70 years, took to the streets to protest in one of the largest demonstrations there in decades. Then on November 15, a second peaceful protest entitled ‘Civic March for Change’ called for in 10 cities, sadly fizzled as Cuba’s totalitarian Marxist government employed their strong-arm ‘cancel culture’ tactics to frighten the people and stifle the rallies. “Hundreds of dissidents who dared to demonstrate peacefully at the July rallies remain in jail, and a cooperative media makes sure the other people are reminded of their fate. Uniformed police and plain-clothed enforcers intimidate people, along with state security officers who stake out homes of pro-democracy leaders. “A young female dissident (who would love an opportunity to educate millennials in America who are being seduced by socialism) stated it simply, ‘People are scared.’ Representatives of the leftist regime make sure people understand that they will not tolerate those who are a ‘part of the destabilization campaign initiated by the United States.’(1) Biden Administration Response “U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned ‘intimidation tactics’ by Cuba’s government and vowed that Washington would ‘seek accountability’ for the crackdown. What that means is anybody’s guess, especially in light of Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the abandonment of Americans and our allies who’ve been trapped behind enemy lines for almost 100 days. “July's dissident march in Cuba gained global attention but has faded from most people’s memory, while multitudes there and in Afghanistan face continual repression, horrible penalties, suffering, and persecution. In our nation, as malcontents and Marxists try to tear down our country, it is Christian compassion to ponder their plight and pray for divine intervention. The Brutal Realities “After 70 years of totalitarian rule in Cuba and the barbaric treatment of dissidents daring to question the socialist state, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in July. The Cuban people, just like citizens in Venezuela, are suffering under another economic crisis with severe food shortages, high prices, and pandemic sickness and death. “Communications remain cut off so the world can't see the military's brutal shooting and beating of the protestors. “Today in Cuba, Castro’s ‘revolutionaries’ masterfully manipulate the masses. Here in America, radical rabble-rousers present ‘history’ that does not reflect reality, but romanticizes ‘heroes’ like the Castros and Che Guevara (murderers and criminals), while working aggressively to dismantle our nation's founders and foundations. It's happening in the U.S. through CRT (Critical Race Theory) and the 1619 Project, whose creator praised Cuba as the ‘Most Equal country in the Western Hemisphere - a model for the U.S.’ Helpful History Lesson “In 1959 Fidel Castro assured the world that he was not a Communist. Taking office he admitted he was a ‘Marxist’ (like BLM leaders), leading gullible citizens on a pathway to ‘peace and prosperity.’ “Castro called himself a ‘freedom fighter,’ yet he eventually curtailed any ownership of private property and private enterprise. He told the people, ‘universities are tuition free’ but that was only to those embracing his revolutionary beliefs. He took control of media communications and implemented ‘cancel culture’ long before radical leftists launched it here. “People trying to flee Cuba were tortured and executed. Castro killed over 3500 people by firing squad. In 1994 he was caught as he ordered a tugboat of women and children sunk while they were fleeing the repressive socialist state. “Castro’s government took control of elections with the goal of a one-party state (sound familiar?). He called Cuba a ‘People’s Paradise,’ yet what was once a beautiful vacation destination became a prison where people lost liberty, human rights, and religion. “Castro demolished scores of church buildings and mandated children be indoctrinated with new curriculums. He propagandized the people into believing Cuba’s old order was systemically evil and needed to be replaced with the new order of caring for needs from cradle to grave. ‘Free healthcare! Free education! Free childcare!’ Sound familiar? “Pre-Castro Cuba in 1958 led Latin America in low infant mortality, literacy rates, passenger cars per capita, food consumption per capita, along with TVs, radios, and telephones. Cuba’s Gross Domestic Product was ahead of Italy, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and most of Africa, Asia, and Latin America! Millennials and Manipulation “Today Cuba is an impoverished nation with minimal and archaic healthcare, contrary to Michael Moore's documentary ‘Sicko,’ which was replete with propaganda. Higher education? It's possible for the elite who meet the ‘state's’ rigid standards. “The average wage in Cuba is now about $20 per month with people living in deteriorating shacks. Its harbor is almost empty of boats so people cannot flee. The few people that own cars have 1950s models. On an island with a population of 11 million, 1.5 million have managed to escape. “Today in America half of Millennials say they choose socialism over capitalism. Time to wake up! [Our children are being fed lies; arm them with these facts.] Past Progressive Plans “When Fidel Castro died in 2016, Obama eulogized him: ‘History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people in the world around him.’(2) Biden sided with him in numerous ‘pro-Cuba’ initiatives. “Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Leadership Council says, ‘They served as a de facto endorsement of one of the most oppressive regimes in recent history.’(3) “When he was president, Donald Trump repeatedly expressed his empathy for the Cuban people and a firm commitment to foster freedom. His policies raised salaries of their counterparts in America (38% of Hispanics voted for him in 2020), as he demonstrated strong leadership regarding his opposition to communism by employing a strategy to strangle their economy and engender discontent on the island to stir the Cuban people to seek change. “After seven decades of communist tyranny, may we pray for our suffering friends facing ongoing brutal crackdowns. CiberCuba recently captured a woman’s husband, shot and beaten in front of the family, then taken away. While enjoying lavish meals, lifestyles, and many freedoms, let's not forget our friends 90 miles away as we again remember God's directive: ‘Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them. Look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you’ (Heb. 13:3 MET). “Please pass this along to educate others as we declare, "Viva la Cuba por Jesus Cristo..!’” Pray with me: Father, we pray for our brothers, sisters, and also those who don’t know You, suffering in Cuba and elsewhere. Break off of America all selfish mindsets that say we should ignore suffering elsewhere, as long as it doesn’t impact us. Send the coming revival to Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and other impoverished nations. Liberate them from evil leaders, and may the power of the gospel and the Spirit of truth liberate their spirits. Liberate Cuba! Liberate Venezuela! Liberate Afghanistan from the Taliban. Liberate Haiti from their dark traditions and evil leaders. Visit all the earth with Christ’s salvation and love. We pray against the deception and lies being propagated in America. Break the influence of socialists and communists; silence their voices and frustrate their evil plans. Awaken those who have been deceived. Save them, Lord. We pray these things in Christ’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that truth will win in America and around the world. Lord, send revival! ***************************************** Today’s post was contributed by our friend Larry Tomczak. You can find out more about Larry here.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/december-1-2021 December 1, 2021 The Most Important Supreme Court Case in Decades Flying the American flag upside down - when done for the right reasons - is an officially recognized signal of danger and distress; it is not a sign of disrespect. America is now in one of the most alarming seasons of her history, with decisions being made that have and could continue to undo two and a half centuries of blessing. Our moral decline, antichrist laws, humanistic culture and godless leaders have brought us to the point where we need to be resurrected, not just resuscitated. Much of the destruction began in the 1960s and originated in the American judiciary branch, including the Supreme Court. Interestingly, this was “prophesied” by Thomas Jefferson, whose greatest fear regarding America’s future was the authority taken by the courts, which he declared that the Constitution—which he helped draft!—had not given them. In 1821 he declared, “The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the federal judiciary. An irresponsible body, working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction until all shall be usurped from the states.”(1) Incredibly strong language. One is reminded of Paul’s words in Galatians 5:9: “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.” The founders of our government never intended for the Supreme Court to be the supreme branch of our government. Nowhere does our Constitution give them authority over the Executive and Legislative branches. In fact, they did not even have their own building until 1935; they met in the Capitol. Nine unelected men and women ruling our nation in the way the Supreme Court now does has resulted in “a despotic branch”(2) in whose hands the Constitution has become a “thing of wax,”(3) as warned by Jefferson 200 years ago. One of their own, the late Justice Antonin Scalia, called his colleagues “black-robed masters,” going on to say that “the Court has essentially liberated itself from the text of the Constitution…and from the traditions of the American people.” Scalia went on to state clearly that the Constitution “is not a living organism” as the liberals like to state when twisting its meaning into what they want it to say.(4) One of today’s liberal Federal Judges, Richard Posner, no longer sees the need to twist the Constitution’s meaning in order to make his warped rulings. He simply admits that to him, and many other judges and attorneys today, the Constitution is irrelevant. “I see absolutely no value to a judge of spending decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, or seconds studying the Constitution, the history of its enactment, its amendments, and its implementation…the original Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the post-Civil War amendments (including the 14th), do not speak to today.” (After much criticism, Posner later backed off from this ridiculous comment.)(5) If you’re wondering where in the Constitution judges found the removing of prayer from schools, abortion rights, the redefining of marriage and other liberal positions, the answer is simple: they didn’t. They simply legislated from the bench, according to their own desires and ideals. Today, the Supreme Court is hearing a case that could overturn Roe versus Wade, the evil ruling that has resulted in more than 60 million babies being killed in their mother’s womb. It is America’s greatest failure and shame. As Jefferson warned, the “noiseless step” has advanced until we now kill babies that survive abortions, after which we sell their body parts. The left rabidly defends all of this. If the Court rules once again for death, let it not be because we did not do our part to pray. Cry out on behalf of the babies! Ask Holy Spirit to put heavenly pressure on the Justices to vote for life. Re-read yesterday‘s post and, using its suggestions, pray for the attorneys and Justices. Listen to Holy Spirit and pray as He leads you. I leave you with a quote from the Supreme Court affirming that America is a Christian nation. Pray that this mindset one day returns to the Court. “In 1892, in the case of Church of the Holy Trinity v. The United States, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that: ‘Our laws and institutions must necessarily be based upon the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent, our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian...This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation...that this is a Christian nation. We are founded to legislate, propagate, and secure Christianity.’ (6) “Again in 1947, the Court said ‘we are a religious people and our laws presuppose’ the existence of God. The Court upheld our national motto as constitutional in 1979 (In God We Trust), as well as having paid chaplains in the Legislative branch of government in 1983.”(7) Don’t give up on America! Pray with me: Father, we ask You to move on the hearts of five or more Justices as they think and deliberate, bending their will toward You and the babies. Shift thinking where it is necessary, silence voices that need to be silenced, give favor to those that need favor. Speak to them in any way necessary to turn their hearts and minds to the appropriate ruling. Obviously, they hold a live hearing, but much of their information will be taken from the written Briefs. Speak through these writings. We ask You to anoint the words of the pro-life Briefs with fire from Holy Spirit. We ask that the pro-death attorneys’ words be as the prophets of Baal, that their words will have no power. We pray for the verbal arguments of the pro-life attorneys in this case. We ask You to give them brilliance, wisdom, and excellent choices of wording. We ask that confusion, errors, and disjointed language come to the pro-abortion attorneys. We ask for a very literal anointing of the Holy Spirit to be present in the courtroom when this case is heard, that Your presence be in the room, Holy Spirit. Please give us a reversal of the insidious ruling, Roe vs Wade, and break its hold off of this nation. Our decree: We decree that the covenant of death is broken off of America! ******************************** “For you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death and a pact with the underworld, so when the overwhelming scourge sweeps over us, it will not harm us. For we have made lies our refuge and find our shelter in falsehood.’ Here’s what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I set in place in Zion a Foundation Stone, fully tested and proven to be faithful and secure. And written upon this precious cornerstone is this: “Those who trust in Him will not act in haste.” I will set justice as the true measurement and integrity, its plumb line. My hailstorm will sweep away your refuge of lies, and My floodwaters will overwhelm your hiding place. Then your covenant with death will be annulled and your pact with the underworld will not stand. And when the overwhelming scourge sweeps over you, it will sweep you away!’” (Isaiah 28-15-18, TPT) Click on the link below to watch the full video. _________________________________ http://www.knowsouthernhistory.net/Quotes/thomas_jefferson.html http://www.robgagnon.net/JeffersonOnJudicialTyranny.htm Ibid. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/constitutional-interpretation https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/posner_apologizes_says_his_controversial_comments_were_about_a_living_const The Rebirth of America, Arthur S.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-30-2021 November 30, 2021 A Critical Day in America I will arrive in D.C. today. I have several meetings at undisclosed locations this afternoon and evening. Many others will also arrive today, some to appeal to heaven for the protection of the unborn, others to demand the right to kill them. Ultimately, 9 Supreme Court Justices will decide. Actually, it only takes a simple majority - 5. Five people will decide whether life or death wins. If it is a 5-4 vote, really only one swing vote will have decided the case. Amazing how thin a margin it takes to save or destroy millions of innocent lives. In 1973, seven liberal Justices found the right to abort babies in the word “privacy:” Blackmun, Burger, Douglas, Brennan, Stewart, Marshall, Powell. In Planned Parenthood vs Casey (1992), five Justices kept the abortion law intact: O'Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Blackmun, and Stevens. One vote for the right to “privacy” cost 40 million more babies their lives, more than Hitler’s Holocaust. Planned Parenthood, who won the case, now sells the babies’ body parts. In total, since 1973, over 60 million babies have been killed in the womb. Unimaginable. Could there be anything more asinine and stupefying than saying privacy gives one a right to kill babies? Did these Justices actually believe those who penned our Constitution intended this? Of course not - they were ideologues, legislating from the bench. I list their names because they do NOT have the right to privacy regarding their votes. They are responsible for the most heinous U.S. law in our almost 250-year history. Can they be forgiven? Of course. As the slave trader, John Newton, stated, God’s grace is amazing. If they have repented and asked for cleansing, the blood of Christ has washed them clean. If not, the blood of millions remains on their hands. Those who have had or participated in abortions can also experience COMPLETE forgiveness and cleansing. If you have confessed this sin and asked for cleansing through the blood of Jesus, it is no longer on your record. You have not simply been pardoned, the slate has been wiped clean; the sin no longer exists. I recorded a podcast a while back to help those struggling to forgive themselves over having had abortions. It has helped many. You can watch the YouTube podcast from February 26, 2021, entitled Broken No More here. Tomorrow (12/1/2021), 9 women and men will hear the current abortion case: Roberts, Thomas, Breyer, Alito, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. They will then deliberate until Friday morning, at which time they will vote. This is why many who come to pray will stay through Friday morning. It may surprise you that we will not hear the results for several months, likely not until mid or late summer. I urge you to pray with us today, tomorrow, and Friday. Millions of prayers should be offered up. Ask God to forgive and cleanse America from the shedding of innocent blood (Numbers 35:33). Ask Him to give the attorneys arguing for life supernatural wisdom and language. Ask Him to confuse the thoughts of those arguing for death, to make their logic seem foolish, their arguments illogical and disconnected. Ask Holy Spirit to hover over the courtroom, controlling the atmosphere. Bind evil spirits from the room (Matthew 16:19). Pray for the Justices. Ask Holy Spirit to speak to them - clearly. Ask for angelic messages, dreams, even visions. Ask for them to be delivered from misguided and deceived beliefs. Ask Holy Spirit to give them courage to ignore precedence, stare decisis, as it is called. There is tremendous pressure not to overturn a previous ruling of the Court, and they rarely do so. Pray that this does not play a role in their thinking. Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan are staunchly pro-abortion. It is highly unlikely they will turn. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch are strong in their support of life. That makes Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett the unknowns. If there are no surprises among the first six, these 3 will decide the case. Of them: Roberts has drifted to the left the last several years. However, there have been strong words and dreams encouraging prayer to shift him back. Kavanaugh usually votes on the conservative side of issues and was considered pro-life by many when appointed. But nothing is guaranteed when it comes to votes on the Court. Barrett, too, has a conservative pre-Court record and is believed to be strong in her pro-life views. But, again, her record is just forming on the High Court and she has disappointed conservatives in one or two of her votes thus far. Nothing is guaranteed. Pray especially for these three. We will need at least 2 of them to vote for life. Ask Holy Spirit to strongly anoint the words of Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch when they speak in the hearing and in deliberations. Ask for their words to carry weight, authority, and anointing. Pray that these 3 “swing” Justices hear Holy Spirit, that their minds become one with His during this hearing and deliberation. Ask for Isaiah 50:4-5 to occur: “The Lord God has given me the tongue of disciples, so that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to listen as a disciple. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not disobedient, nor did I turn back” (NASV). Ask for their ears to be opened and, if necessary, for their hearts to turn. Pray with me: (I am going to write and lead in a prayer, but only to allow for the great power of agreement to occur. It is important that you continue to pray these things on your own, and even more as Holy Spirit leads you.) Father, we pray that You will bring a heavy presence of Holy Spirit into the Supreme Court tomorrow. Release weighty glory from Your throne room into their courtroom. Combine this glory with Your authority. We, the Ekklesia have asked, bound, and loosed. (Matthew 16:18-19) We have released Your kingdom authority over this case. And now we ask for the fulfillment of the remainder of the passage: what we have bound on earth will be bound in heaven, and what we have loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven. We ask for great wisdom and powerful words to be spoken by those fighting for life. We ask for confusion to plague the pro-death attorneys. And we ask for Holy Spirit‘s strong, hovering presence to invade the thinking of all the Justices, but especially that of Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. Scream in their ears, whisper in their hearts, think through their minds, speak in their dreams. Let there be no doubt in their consciences, hearts, and minds that they must vote for life. Our decree: We decree that the power of death is broken over America, and that life will once again be honored. ************************************* Click on the link below to watch the full video.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-25-2021 November 25, 2021 Thanksgiving Day Proclamations For today’s post, I have included the Thanksgiving proclamations of Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I will only read a few sentences from each. Though the verbiage is somewhat different than ours today and a little cumbersome to read, consider doing so anyway. In order to have a more easily read proclamation, one understood by all ages, I have written a proclamation, as well. You might consider reading it to the family today as you gather, perhaps even around the dinner table: ****************************************** Gracious Father, we in this blessed nation give You thanks today. America was Your idea. You had in Your heart to form a nation of nations - numerous Native American nations, Asians, Europeans, Africans, Latinos and more. Though the journey and process has at times been painful, even evil, due to our selfishness and rebellion, Your sovereign power overrode our flaws and formed the United States of America. And we thank You. We are well aware that forming America was not just for our benefit but, like Abraham of old, was a covenantal partnership for the purpose of redeeming the world from sin and it’s curse. We are honored beyond words to be part of this plan and agree with the words of Robert Hunt at Cape Henry in 1607: the gospel of the kingdom will go forth from these shores, not only to this land, but to all the nations of the earth. We thank You for preserving us in times of war, disease, sin, and chaos. In the war of our birth, we were saved through an appeal to Heaven; in the horrible Civil War, You preserved us through incredible bitterness and the loss of over half a million soldiers - sons, husbands, fathers, brothers; in two world wars, You preserved us from evil, demonized despots intent on ruling the world. Through all the trials and all the years, You have been faithful. We thank You for the incredible prosperity we have enjoyed due to our partnership with You. Though some try to convince our people You had nothing to do with this, that America does not need Your gracious hand of blessing, we know this is untrue. Unless You build the house, the laborers work in vain; unless You protect the city, the watchman wakes in vain. You have blessed this nation - of You, through You, and to You are all things. Thank You, gracious and beneficent God! And we thank You today for our Savior, the Messiah, Christ Jesus. Son of God/Son of Man, thank You for Your sacrifice in becoming a member of the human race. Thank You for discovering what hunger feels like, for experiencing the pain of a loved one’s death, of rejection and betrayal. Thank You for walking dusty roads to heal diseased bodies, taking detours to redeem thirsty hearts, spending sleepless nights praying over Your assignment. Thank you for exposing the futility of religion, the evil of pride and the power of love. Thank You for revealing the Father to us again, and making a way for us to find and reconnect with Him as our Abba. Thank You for paying such a high price for this: the beatings and lashing, Gethsemane, the mocking, the crown of thorns, the wrath of Hell, the hideous cross. Thank You. And gracious Father, wonderful Savior, and blessed Holy Spirit, though we as a nation have dishonored You, rejected You and mocked You, Your love endures. Though we have worshiped idols, embraced false religions, shed innocent blood, defiled Your marriage covenant and expelled You from our schools, causing our children to reject You, Your mercies endure. Though our government, in pride, deception, and rebellion, has risen up against You, rewritten Your laws, legislated murder and immorality, and has determined that You are no longer welcome in their functions and procedures - You have demonstrated amazing patience. And though the church should be Your instrument of preservation from these ills, she has grown lukewarm, complacent, and ineffective. Yet, in spite of these and many more evils, You have said You are coming to save us again. You have promised to renew our purpose and destiny, healing our brokenness and returning our hearts to You and one another. Our prodigals are coming home, a lost generation is being found by You, the fire of passion is returning to the church, millions will be saved, and America will be reformed. We will once again become a powerful voice of the gospel of the kingdom throughout the earth, partnering with You through the power of Holy Spirit. For this we give You thanks, Yahweh. President George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation: “Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public Thanksgiving and Prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. “Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be - That we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks--for His kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of His Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed - for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted - for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which He hath been pleased to confer upon us. “And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions - to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually - to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed - to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord - To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us - and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. “Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.” (George Washington)(1) President Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation: “The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. The population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union. “In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed. “Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth. By the President: Abraham Lincoln.”(2) ________________***************************_______________ Click the link to watch the full video: https://www.mountvernon.org/education/primary-sources-2/article/thanksgiving-proclamation-of-1789/ http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/thanks.htm

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-24-2021 November 24, 2021 Mercy is Our New Currency My friend, Clay Nash, has had 2 more significant dreams about America within the last week. They are long and very detailed. He and I are still “unpacking” them, but there is one portion that is clear to me: “…Dutch Sheets brought in a gold plum bob with its line made of silver. [In scripture, silver symbolizes redemption.] The plumb bob was hollow and had 5 sides which each had glass-like windows. It was filled with a red liquid. Dutch let it swing above the map [of the US] and as he did so the red thick liquid began to flow very finely from the point of the plumb bob. Dutch stated, ‘This is blood from the Mercy Seat.’ (There is then more that occurs in the dream, then…) “While all of this had been taking place the plumb bob was spreading blood from the Mercy Seat across the map. Ceci walked in, saw it, and said, ‘Look at this.’ We all turned our attention to the map and a gasp was released from all. The swinging plumb bob had painted an eagle with three arrows in one talon and a scroll in the other.” This is the fourth dream received from prophets I know which have eagles holding 3 arrows. In one of them, they release the arrows all over America, which ignite fires of revival. The third dream states that God is releasing them earlier than originally planned. This dream shows the eagles and arrows once again, drawn on a map of America with the blood of Christ, from the Mercy Seat in heaven. The blood was flowing from a plumb bob suspended over a map of America. Plumb bobs are used to ensure that constructions are “plumb” or vertical. They are also used for surveying, to mark an exact point for a boundary marker. As God holds His plumb bob over America, He no doubt sees us as out of alignment, crooked. We, of course, deserve judgment. To use another analogy, we most certainly have been “weighed in the balances” and found “wanting” (Daniel 5:27). But the plumb bob was filled with the blood of Christ from the Mercy Seat of heaven. Without doubt, this is telling us it is God’s mercy, brought to us through Christ’s blood sacrifice, that is going to save America. All of the dreams have said unequivocally that it is time for this, and one said it is actually coming earlier than previously planned. The subject of God‘s mercy took on added significance for me in February 2016. Days apart, I received two prophetic words that I was to go to DC and spend time praying. One was from Ceci, the other from Chuck Pierce. Chuck’s word added that while there I was to re-stake claim to America. My friend, Ken Malone, and brother, Tim Sheets’, accompanied me. It was a prayer journey that took on profound significance. While praying at the White House, we had an angelic visitation. In response to our prayers and decrees, the angel walked up to us and simply said, “Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy.” Six times. A few weeks later, an intercessor shared a dream she had received from the Lord that included me. “In the dream,” she related, “you kept declaring, ‘I have tapped into a root of mercy.’” Then, two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, a trusted pastor and friend, Kingsley Walker, had a vision while watching our Appeal to Heaven conference online. As we prayed, crying out for mercy, he began to see coins raining down all around me. Eventually, I was ankle-deep in silver coins. When he looked at them closely, they all had the word “MERCY” over their various pictures. One coin, in particular, had George Washington on the front, with the word ‘MERCY” over him; the other side had the American flag pictured with the words “New Glory” over it. As you know, a nickname for our flag is “Old Glory.” There is “new glory” coming to “old glory.” Then Kingsley heard the words, “Mercy is our new currency.” Mercy is undeserved kindness. In scripture, it is linked to covenant - God’s covenantal faithfulness and kindness. We are told that His mercies are new each morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and they also triumph over judgment (James 2:13). God’s mercy revival is coming to America. “New glory” is coming to “Old Glory,” our nation. All for which we are asking can only be procured by the mercy of God. Our good works can’t buy His blessings. Our faithfulness to Him certainly hasn’t been adequate to purchase America’s new birth. When asked why I believe America will receive a great awakening, I have but one answer, “The mercy seat of Heaven, covered with the blood of Jesus, is the only currency of exchange God will honor. The arrows of revival fire will be released because of God’s mercy, and because we have humbly asked. Mercy will save America and bring a billion soul revival around the world in this era. Mercy has reopened the well at Fulton Street, Red River Meeting House, Cane Ridge, Azusa St, Topeka, Wales, Hebrides, Scotland, and more. Mercy is reopening Tennent’s Well, the Haystack Revival Well, the Voice of Healing Well, the Charismatic/Jesus People Well, Brownsville, and more. Mercy has released the eagles! Mercy has released the arrows! Mercy is releasing fire! Spend the mercy. Trade it in for souls, miracles, transformations. Buy the opportunity. The phrase “redeeming the time” (Ephesians 5:16) could be more literally translated, “buy the opportune time.” We must use our “mercy currency” and buy this opportune time for revival. The word reformation in scripture (diorthosis) means to straighten thoroughly (see Hebrews 9:10). You can easily see the word ortho, as in orthopedics - the medical speciality which deals with skeletal issues, such as broken or misshappened limbs. God has measured America and no doubt found us crooked, broken, out of alignment. But in His mercy, through the precious blood of Christ, He is coming to straighten us. He is coming to us as our great Reformer! This Thanksgiving, ask for mercy...and give Him thanks! America shall be saved! Revival is coming to the planet..! Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Pray with me: Father, thank You for Your mercy. You keep covenant AND MERCY to a thousand generations. (Deuteronomy 7:9) Jesus, thank You for Your blood on the Mercy Seat. We thank You that it is still speaking, that it is the surety of a new and better covenant. (Hebrews 12.24) Thank You for the arrows which You said in one of the dreams, carry “Fire Power.” Thank You for the “early inheritance.” In another of the dreams, You said, twice, “Do NOT doubt this!” We do not doubt it. We decree Your words, “America shall be saved!” We agree with Your angel, “Mercy!” You are never late and appealing to heaven still works! We release revival fire into the earth! Our decree: We decree that we are buying revival with the blood of the Mercy Seat. The Reformer is coming to America. ******************************* Click on the link to watch the full video:

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-23-2021 November 23, 2021 The Value of the Secret Place “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). The secret place is a dwelling place. Go there daily and you can “abide” in Yahweh’s protective shadow. The secret to a victorious life is an abiding life. Don’t settle for religion - enjoy spending time with Abba. My niece, Rachel Shafer, shares a powerful word and fitting pre-Thanksgiving testimony regarding the importance and benefit of living in the secret place. ******************************* Rachel says: “Recently, Holy Spirit whispered to me, ‘Don’t forsake the value of the secret place.’ I was instantly gripped in my heart and began pondering the statement. “One of the meanings of value is ‘the regard, importance, worth, or usefulness of something.’ It also means ‘to consider (someone or something) to be important or beneficial; to have a high opinion of.’ (1) “The word forsake means ‘to abandon, renounce or give up.’ (2) “Holy Spirit was urging me to remember the importance and benefits of the secret place, to value its worth in my life. What an awesome reminder for us as we continue navigating these challenging times. “In the New Testament, Jesus instructs us to go to a quiet place, a secret place, a room with the door shut when we pray (Matthew 6:6). He set an example for this by often going away from His followers to spend time alone with God. In Matthew 14, Jesus received the terrible news that King Herod had ordered the beheading of John the Baptist. Upon hearing this, verse 13 in The Message version says ‘He slipped away by boat to an out-of-the-way place by Himself.’ “Faced with tragic, heartbreaking news, Jesus knew He needed to get away to be alone with His Father. If we want to be infused with strength, grace, peace, hope - we need a secret place.” I (Dutch) cannot begin to recount the many “secret place” encounters I’ve had with my Father, with Christ and with Holy Spirit. The infusion of strength and confidence that comes from it is indescribable. Philippians 4:13 (AMP) says: “I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]” Rachel continues, “The secret place causes us to become more aware of God’s presence. And in His presence we stop focusing on our problems, and begin seeing His answers; we gain His perspective. We see as He sees and can begin to say what He says. In other words, the secret place enables us to approach our situation with wisdom from above. “Several years ago, I walked through one of the darkest moments of my life. Our youngest son, Jaidin, was having a surgery related to his cleft palate. The days after the surgery were a whirlwind of one thing after another going wrong. Jaidin couldn’t breathe on his own and had to be intubated. He could no longer walk, or even sit up on his own. He couldn’t swallow and was being fed through a feeding tube. “No one knew why. Doctors could not figure out why this was happening. It was heartbreaking. Jaidin was sad, mad and frustrated. And we were too. Finally, on the 11th day I woke up with words ringing in my heart, ‘Jesus’ blood never fails me.’ Later that day we received MRI results. The first words out of the neurologist’s mouth were, ‘This is not the news I had hoped to share with you today.’ The MRI showed that Jaidin had a lesion on his brain where the nerves were located that control swallowing and affect strength and balance. This gave us answers, but definitely not the answers we were expecting or wanted! “The doctors continued talking, telling us Jaidin might never regain his swallow or the complete function of his left side. They showed us pictures and explained different scenarios. At one point, I was feeling completely overwhelmed - it was information overload. I put my hand up and said, ‘I need you all to stop.’ “I ran out of the room down the hallway sobbing. I had to gather my thoughts and emotions. I knew that I needed secret place time with Jesus. I needed a higher perspective. I sat on a small couch in Jaidin’s hospital room, crying and praying. “It was in those moments I remembered I had awakened that morning with the words, ‘Jesus’ blood never fails me.’ His blood always speaks a better word (see Hebrews 12:24). Was I to think differently now that we had the MRI results? “No! The hope I have in Jesus is an anchor to my soul. I allowed Jesus to minister to my heart and Holy Spirit was able to encourage and comfort me - from the secret place. I had taken a few moments to get into His presence right there in that little hospital room. Jesus’ blood didn’t fail me and Jaidin recovered FULLY! “I value the secret place experience I had during that time. My prayer for each of you is that you will build a history of secret place experiences, encounters that will teach, change, shape, and empower you with God-breathed words you can speak into situations and times of testing. Also, that you would value the secret place reward of His presence.” Pray with me: Father, we honor You today, setting our hearts, souls and gaze upon You. We value our time with You, Lord. We know You desire to speak to us every day—guiding us in spirit and in truth. As we listen to You and obey Your Word, we can enjoy an abundant life. You invited us to come boldly to Your throne of grace to find help any time we have a need. We cherish those times with You. It is then that we recognize You as Abba, Papa. We know that our Abba is also the all-powerful, living God. We decree Your power into our situations and circumstances. Break into lives. Transform and restore broken hearts, souls and minds. Heal bodies, homes, and nations. We put our circumstances and times into Your hands, knowing that You hold the power to turn them all for our good. We will pursue you, Abba. We’re after Your heart. May Your will be done in our lives, our regions and all across this land. America shall be saved; revival is coming to the earth! Amen. Our Decree: We will not forsake the value of the secret place. We are a people pursuing the presence of the King. ********************************************* Today’s post was contributed by Rachel Shafer.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-22-2021 November 22, 2021 Moving Into a Season of Multiplication My friend, Chuck Pierce, along with others on his team, gave a word last week I want to share with you today. Even though it references what God wanted to do last week in the lives of those present in the meeting, it certainly would apply to the future, as well. In fact, this Thanksgiving week would be a great week to apply this word to your life. ************************************ Chuck prophesied: “This is a month of coming full circle and entering into second chances! The Lord is shifting our thought processes, removing distractions that keep us from unlocking our future! Do not narrow the boundaries He has for you, but receive the revelation that will enable you to possess your boundaries. “As Robert Heidler shared (during our most recent Celebration Service), Kislev is a month of dreams and visions. The Lord wants us to get in touch with our ability to hear His voice at night and capture what He is speaking to us. The Spirit of revelation and wisdom can cause you to see clearly from your dreams. You don’t have to be distracted when you lie down but can rest and sleep in wholeness and peace. In this month of Kislev, I send you forth into revelation as you give the Lord access to visit you at night! “The Lord says: ‘You are going to see beyond a place that you are now seeing. This week, I have begun to establish you new and fresh for your future. Do not see through the past, but stand and peer from the place that I am calling you to. You will see into dimensions you have never seen before. You will look beyond past limitations and say, “This is what was meant to be all along!” See, hear, and look into the place that I’m calling you to! “‘This is a season in which you’re going to enter the realm of spiritual multiplication. You’re going to multiply My fire, multiply My glory, multiply My grace, multiply My favor, and multiply My love! You’re going to multiply every resource that I send to you! Multiply under My anointing of multiplication! “‘Watch this week for I will remind you of how I have brought you out in order to bring you in. Watch, for My reminder will explode within you. You will see how I have walked with you through floods and fires, and brought you to this moment. This will be a week of Me reminding you how I am with you, to lead and guide you into the days ahead. “‘Awake, awake, awake, O sleeper! (Ephesians 5:14)Now is the time to awake! When you awake this week you will hear a freshness, a newness - a word that will carry you forth. I am calling you to awake. Awake, O sleeper! Rise up! Rise up! This is a time to arise, for the sleepers to awake. As you awake, let your ear be attuned to what I am speaking to you. “‘I am shaking, I am roaring and I am taking distractions off your mind that have kept you from being able to worship Me. Some things have come in a form that look religious and good, but actually are distractions that keep you from worshipping or even knowing Me. Anything that keeps you from wanting to know Me is a distraction. Break every distraction that comes with a form of godliness but denies the power thereof. Worship Me in Spirit and in truth. “‘This week you will hear your reminder not to be distracted by little things, petty things, little foxes that come to unsettle the spirit of man. Distractions will not keep you from seeing your moment.’” Life is constantly barraging us with distractions. The past 2 years have been even worse. In Luke 10:40 Jesus said Martha was distracted from listening to Him by her activities. The King James Translation uses the word “cumbered.” The Greek word is perispao, and means literally “to drag in circles.” Its derived meanings include, “to drag all around; to be distracted; to be driven mentally; to be over-occupied.” Life has a way of piling too much on us, causing us to not hear Him. In this prophecy, Holy Spirit says if we will slow down and listen, He will remove distractions and bring revelation of our future. The Lord specifically says He will speak to us through dreams and visions. Some of you have never experienced this. Why don’t you ask Holy Spirit to bring this word to pass for you. Ask Him to speak to you with dreams and visions. Don’t think of visions in the sense of a trance-like encounter, though they can come in this way, but think of them as Holy Spirit bringing a picture or impression to your mind. He says that as He removes the distractions and speaks to us it will move us into a season of multiplication. What a great promise. Holy Spirit wants to take us from glory to glory, strength to strength, and faith to faith. For some, He will multiply your finances and meet the financial needs you have. Others will have healing multiplied in their emotions and bodies. Others will receive multiplied insights and understanding. One thing is certain, God is a God of multiplication. Ask and believe for this! Psalm 46:7-10 from The Passion Translation tells us: “Here He comes! The Commander! The Mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Pause in His presence. Everyone look! Come and see the breathtaking wonders of our God. For He brings both ruin and revival. He’s the one who makes conflicts end throughout the earth, breaking and burning every weapon of war. Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth. Here He stands! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Pause in His presence.” ******************************* Now, slow down and allow that to go deep in your heart. It will invigorate you. Pray with me: Father, thank You for this word of encouragement. We choose to lay down that which we have been dragging around unnecessarily. As this Psalm says, we surrender our anxiety. We say “no” to the distractions that weary our souls. We ask for Your help in doing this, and are confident that You will do so. You are our helper, Holy Spirit. As we do this, we fully expect You to speak to us. We believe You will talk to us about our future and awaken us to Your plans and purposes for our lives. Give us dreams and visions. Open us to supernatural communication with You. Do this in order for us to be a blessing to others, as well as causing us to prosper personally. We ask for this week to be a significant week of refreshing and recovery. As we give You thanks for Your many blessings, we ask for renewed vision and strength. And as this great Psalm also says, we remember that You are God above all the nations. You stand as commander among the nations and will be exalted throughout the whole earth. And You, the Lord of Angel Armies, are on our side! You will fight for us. Amen. Our decree: We decree that we will obey Psalm 46: we pause in God’s presence and take in His majesty. ********************************** Click on the link below to watch the full the video.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-19-2021 November 19, 2021 Damn the Torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead Holy Spirit is stirring intercessors to pray regarding the December 1st abortion case coming before the Supreme Court. This is an incredibly important case that could reverse Roe vs Wade. My friend Ken Malone contacted me a week ago, saying: “The Spirit moved on me very strongly this morning (November 11th) to pray for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. I experienced an intense, travailing, birthing prayer. As it occurred, I remembered the dream I had last year [which we will share]. I believe that with concerted prayer, Holy Spirit can shift his views. I feel something huge is about to be birthed out of the court. We have to continue praying, making sure this case is decided correctly.” Here is the dream Ken mentioned: “I awakened from a dream on 7/22/20, around 3:00 A.M., to the sound of a thunderstorm just offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. “In the dream, one of my spiritual daughters was working in the U.S. Supreme Court cafeteria. Chief Justice John Roberts came to her and said, ‘Tell Ken Malone our positions are being overrun, I need his help.’ “My spiritual daughter then relayed his message to me. “I replied ‘Damn the Torpedoes. Tell him we’re coming.’” End of Dream. Ken and I believe the dream has renewed significance. “Damn the torpedoes” was a phrase used by David Farragut, a Rear Admiral aboard a Union ship during the battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864. [The actual quote Farragut used is, "Damn the torpedoes! Four bells. Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!"(1)] The ensuing important Union victory, together with the capture of Atlanta, was extensively covered by Union newspapers and, 3 months later, was a significant boost for Abraham Lincoln's bid for re-election. In response to the dream, Ken, I, and several other intercessors, immediately planned a prayer journey to D.C. We decided to go on August 4-5, 2020, the anniversary of Farragut’s declaration. Holy Spirit gave us more important insights leading up to the prayer times: While I was en route to D.C., one of my spiritual sons sent me a text, saying, “It is no coincidence that you are arriving in D.C. the same day as hurricane Isaias. The name means, ‘Yahweh is our salvation.’ You will release Yahweh’s salvation in D.C.” Just before my plane departed for D.C., the arrival time into D.C. was adjusted back, from 2:29 p.m. to 2:22 p.m. God has used the number “22” for twenty-five years, hundreds of times, to remind me of Isaiah 22:22. It often happens when I’m on a strategic assignment. This verse speaks of possessing spiritual keys, which symbolize governmental authority with which to permanently open and close doors. I was already confident God had instructed us to go on this prayer journey, but after these two occurrences, I began to feel the significance increase in my heart. Holy Spirit wasn’t finished preparing us, however. As I entered my hotel room a trusted prophetic friend - whom I hadn’t spoken to in several months and who did not know I was in D.C. - phoned me. He, too, referenced the hurricane’s name as significant (“Yahweh is salvation”) and then connected the name to Isaiah 22:22! God had already used the arrival time as a reminder of this verse, now He was using the hurricane’s name to do so. My friend said, “You must decree Yahweh’s salvation (Isaias) over America, the Supreme Court and White House, opening and closing doors as Holy Spirit leads” (see Isaiah 22:22). The following morning, August 5, the anniversary of Farragut’s decree, we went to the Supreme Court to pray. While sitting on the steps, my friend, Matt Lockett, leader of the Justice House of Prayer, approached us. He had no idea we were even there! Matt’s calling for over a decade has been to lead daily prayer for the Supreme Court, and because of his obedience and thousands of hours of prayer, Matt walks in great spiritual authority regarding the Court. We prayed much for God’s strong hand to shift the ideology of the Court—both by replacing left-leaning Justices, and/or by changing the legal philosophies and paradigms of the members. Holy Spirit then revealed a double meaning associated with Farragut’s phrase, “Damn the torpedoes.” As we were praying, someone said, “Maybe God wants to literally damn ‘torpedoes’ [‘hidden weapons, under the surface’], which have been employed by satanic forces against the Court.” We looked up the meaning of the Greek word translated “damn” in Scripture, (for example, “he that believeth not shall be damned” - Mark 16:16), and found that it is a legal, judicial term meaning “to judge, condemn or sentence!” Is this why Holy Spirit used it in the dream? Because the biblical concept is judicial?! We felt it was. With this understanding and with our prayers, we damned - “judged and condemned” - the “torpedoing” of the Supreme Court, binding the plans, schemes, and influences of satan. As we prayed, Holy Spirit then reminded us of my arrival time into D.C. being rolled back to 2:22 p.m. We began to feel this was more than simply another reminder of our Isaiah 22:22 authority. We believed it was also a prophetic picture stating that Holy Spirit intended to “roll back” wrong decisions made by the Court - “rolling back time,” as it were. We felt that He was saying we would now see unrighteous, unbiblical, and unconstitutional decisions by the Court reversed through Isaiah 22:22 prayers and authority. Now to today. In this upcoming case, America is poised to receive one of her greatest judicial breakthroughs ever. Far left, activist judges have controlled the Supreme Court for 60 years. And, as I said yesterday, no entity has opened the door to more devastation and destruction in America than the Supreme Court: sixty million aborted babies (let that sink in - 60 million!); the removal of God from government and schools; the redefining of God’s most sacred institution, marriage; transgenderism - girls now share showers with males at school; and so much more. If the insanity isn’t stopped soon, polygamy will be next, followed by people marrying animals. The violence, crime, poverty, disease, family decay, addiction, and other wages we have reaped from the Court’s rulings are devastating beyond belief. However, no issue surpasses the hideous aspects of abortion. One governor recently announced that it’s ok to kill babies that survive abortions - after making them comfortable, of course. Yours and my tax dollars still fund an organization that sells murdered babies’ body parts! Members of Congress defend, laud and support these heinous behaviors. Much of America has gone mad! The Supreme Court opened the door to this hellish behavior. We have finally reached a point where the Court can be turned and reversals begin! Holy Spirit spoke to us very clearly while in D.C. that day in 2020 that this is the season when we can “roll back time,” reversing gains and “damning torpedoes” fired by satan. I am appealing to you, please pray faithfully, fervently, and boldly regarding this case, and for the continued shifting of the Supreme Court. Pray with me: Father, thank You for reminding us of this dream. Millions of people have prayed and repented over the last 50 years for the reversing of this evil decree. We know it has grieved Your heart tremendously. Once again, we ask for Your mercy. Forgive us and heal our land. We ask You to move on the members of the court, guiding their thought processes as they deliberate regarding this case. Prick their consciences. Break their hearts. Awaken them to the evil of this law. And give us a ruling that honors life. We pray especially for Justice Roberts. He has drifted to the left, but we believe You can turn him back. Please do this. And we ask You to turn the hearts of those in America who favor this evil called abortion. We know this will take a great revival, one that changes the hearts of people. Only when You write Your laws and nature on our hearts can we think as You do. Please give us this revival and awaken us once again. We ask this in Christ’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that Roe versus Wade will be overturned, and babies in the womb will once again be protected in America. _______________________________ https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2014/july/damn-torpedoes Click on the link below to watch the full episode. 138 likes.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-18-2021 November 18, 2021 We Must Not Miss This Opportunity I appreciate Intercessors For America. Their long and fruitful track record of praying for America is unsurpassed. In the following report, Dave Kubal shares from an interview with former Governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant, regarding the upcoming (December 1, 2021) Supreme Court abortion case. “As Mississippi Governor from 2012 to 2020, Phil Bryant attacked key social ills. Rates for unemployment, high school dropouts, and teen pregnancies hit record lows during his tenure. But what he really wanted to stop was abortion. “In an interview with IFA’s Dave Kubal, Bryant shared: ‘The number one issue— the first thing we all do as governors or anyone in public life— is public safety. To protect the lives of our citizens. These (pre-born children) are citizens. And they deserve due process. They deserve the constitutional rights of every citizen of the United States. They are children of God and we must lay down our lives, if necessary, to protect them.’ “Hope for doing this came with the heartbeat bill and the science of the sonogram. ‘At about fifteen weeks, you can detect…that heartbeat, the brain is beginning to mature. Life clearly exists,’ Bryant said. ‘So it was a viability question. Is that child viable? Is it a human life? And if it is a human life, does the state of Mississippi have a right to protect it? We said it does and we are going to fight it all the way to the Supreme Court.’ “This case—Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health—aims directly at Roe v. Wade. Bryant said, ‘Our 10th amendment said all of those laws that are not prohibited—powers that are not specifically given to the federal government—are those of the states. We believe this is a state’s’ rights issue.’ “Bryant is no stranger to the court system. He was sued over the state flag, religious freedoms, even the state budget. ‘And all of the cases went to the same judge. Remarkably the same Obama-appointed judge got every case in which I was sued,’ Bryant said. “But things went differently with the lawsuit over the heartbeat bill. ‘It went to the Fifth Circuit and the Fifth Circuit said, “We’re trying to deliberate as to whether or not we will hear it,’” Bryant said. ‘And the United States Supreme Court said, “We are going to hear it.” We’re going to pull that out and bring it before the United States Supreme Court. Remarkable that this is happening at this time.’ “Bryant isn’t shy about his goal: ‘[These judicial activists] thought it was a big deal, “Oh we got him to admit that he wants to [end abortion in Mississippi].” Praise God I do! You got me! If you want me to say I want to end abortion, you got me. I’ll write it down and testify to it.’ “His testimony is fueled from heaven. ‘I was just looking this morning at my devotional Jesus Calling. It says “Do not let any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more of My power I place at your disposal. Amen,’” Bryant said. ‘That is for today. He is placing His power at our disposal for this purpose and we can’t let any set of circumstances intimidate us.’” The battle for life in America has been long, indeed. Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” As usual, the great Churchill’s wisdom was profound. There have been many failures in this battle, but I believe the courage and tenacity to continue will, indeed, prevail. Charles Spurgeon once said, “Through perseverance, the snail reached the ark.”(1) While preparing to visit the Supreme Court for my first time in the early 90’s, Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Now I’m going to show you where the strongman over America lives.” (See Matthew 12.29) No person or persons has opened the door to more evil in America in the last 60 years than the Supreme Court. There have been some great and righteous Justices over that span, as there currently are, but nonetheless, the Court’s legislation and approval of evil have been unsurpassed. Their decisions have not only made a mockery of the Constitution, but they have shaken their fists in God’s face, epitomizing Psalm 2:1-3 (TPT): “How dare the nations plan a rebellion. Their foolish plots are futile! Look at how the power brokers of the world rise up to hold their summit as the rulers scheme and confer together against Yahweh and His Anointed King, saying: ‘Let’s come together and break away from the Creator. Once and for all let’s cast off these controlling chains of God and His Christ!’” Interestingly, as I write this my friend Matt Lockett just texted me. Matt leads the Justice House of Prayer in DC, the prayer group which has prayed daily at the Court (with the red “LIFE” tape) for over a decade. He told me: “It’s interesting that Ken Malone’s dream, ‘Damn the Torpedoes’ was on 7-22. This year, the Mississippi brief arrived at SCOTUS on 7-22. Leading up to that a prophet said to me that we needed to be prophesying Daniel 7:22 over the state’s brief. We did, and they changed their legal strategy to openly calling for the overturning of Roe vs Wade.” I will share Ken’s dream in tomorrow’s post. The verse Matt referenced, Daniel 7:22, tells us: “Until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom” (NASV). I and others have prayed this verse over America for years. We must pray it now as never before. It is time for this evil and despicable law to be overturned. We must also pray that the evil hold of this principality over the Court be broken once and for all. Its power base there has been long and strong. Many will go there to march and cry out for death from now leading up to the case. Others of us will go to cry out for life. Join us in praying Daniel 7:22 and in binding the evil hold over the Supreme Court. Pray with me: Father, we have asked You many times to cleanse us for the shedding of innocent blood in our nation. Millions of prayers of repentance have been offered regarding this. The evil principality, Baal, has been empowered to control our nation through these blood sacrifices for over 5 decades. 60 million babies have been sacrificed to this spirit. Yet, in Your mercy, You have kept us free and preserved our destiny as a nation. We have received grace upon grace. Now, we have come to an opportunity for breakthrough. We ask You to release the power of Holy Spirit to influence the Supreme Court of America. We ask that they be moved upon to reverse this evil. Influence their thinking; ensure that they not be influenced by any wrong thinking, deception, or demonic pressure. May they boldly and courageously do what is right. And may it further the process of breaking this stronghold off of America. We thank You for saving America..! “Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.” [This is a 22-word prayer Lou Engle wrote to replace the 22-word prayer the Supreme Court ruled was unconstitutional - the Engle vs. Vitale case of 1962.] Amen. Our decree: We decree that the evil law, Roe versus Wade, will be overturned in America. ************************************ Today’s post includes an article from Intercessors for America (click here to see it).

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-16-2021 November 16, 2021 Fire Word Decrees Holy Spirit gave my brother, Tim Sheets, a strong word with a unique phrase: Fire Word Decrees. In the word, these are decrees made by the church, which Holy Spirit releases as fiery arrows. It seems clear from this word that Holy Spirit is shifting us into a season of great victory over His enemies: *********************************** Tim says, “Recently as I was praying over our nation I received a vision from the Holy Spirit. I believe this revelation and prophetic insight will give us discernment of our times and strategies to implement. “I saw a vast army of angel warriors. Each angel was carrying a bronze bow and the lines of angels stretched in all directions. They were moving away from a huge warehouse and I knew they had been inside the building. 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 tip of the arrow 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 the Lord allowed me to see. When the arrows hit the target they exploded into greater flames like fire balls. I was then given an aerial view and saw that the barrage of arrows were devastating the positions of our 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.’ I then saw the front gate of a stronghold beginning to fall forward. As it fell I could read the sign over it, which read: ‘Camp Evil.’ “After praying about this, Holy Spirit revealed to me it is time for a move of God that will destroy strongholds in this nation. Angelic warriors are going to empty arsenals filled with the ‘fire word decrees’ of the ekklesia. Holy Spirit has stored these decrees up for an appointed time, just as Revelation 5:8 describes, stating that the prayers and decrees of the saints are stored in golden bowls. These ‘word seeds’ have now grown and matured, and angels are assisting in bringing them to pass. “As the voice of God thunders across America through the mouths of His sons and daughters, demonic princes that have ruled territories with their dark agenda will be dethroned. Holy Spirit and His armies are now beginning to tip the bowls, emptying the prayer and decree arsenals of King Jesus. America is going to be saved and camps of evil, along with its leaders, are going to fall. “This revelation from the Holy Spirit reminded me of a previous prophetic word the Lord gave me: You are moving into the explosive era of Holy Spirit. My dunamis will activate prayer decrees causing explosive energy to come forth. I will now reintroduce Holy Spirit to the world. He will be revealed in new ways to and through My people, and will be seen as the Mighty One of heaven who fills My heirs with power. You are now entering a glorious season of a Holy Spirit planned campaign. It will be seen and felt, invading the earth with My prevailing might. You have seen natural incendiaries; now watch incendiaries in the spirit realm. I am bringing fire and activating dunamis. You are entering a time of My Kingdom fireworks. “You have seen the fireworks of your adversary, now you will see the Holy Spirit’s fireworks. You will also see the firepower of the ekklesia. It will not be fireworks of grandeur in the sky, streaking and falling to the earth in a show. It will be fireworks of explosive spiritual power, decreed by My ekklesia, raining upon thrones of iniquity. My fireworks will explode against demonic princes, preparing the way for My Kingdom to invade the earth. My power will explode against rulers of darkness. They can run and scatter but they can’t hide. My warriors will find them. I am coming to explode against and destroy the works of hell. This has been decided by the determinant council of the Godhead. I will not relent. “Take courage, says the Lord of Hosts. I have now released weapons of war reserved for your time, new weapons in the spirit realm. Hear the sound of angel armies prepared for battle. I will activate the armories, energize the ‘word missiles,’ fuel and empower the ‘word bombs’ of My ekklesia. I will fuel the ‘decrees’ of the King’s ekklesia with explosive power to demolish demonic blockades. For as surely as fire rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah, I will rain My fire on entrenched iniquity that has raised itself against Me. The combatants aligned with the forever loser will feel the explosive power of My might. For this day I am releasing angels of war who will raid and confuse the camps of My enemies. Watch, says the Lord of hosts, as the enemies of My Kingdom begin to fight one another. Friendly fire will come into the camps of My enemy. I will divide their language and they will tear down their own towers. “I will not be mocked. For I have heard the decrees of My faithful remnant who have released what I say. My Holy Spirit has filled their mouths with decrees of faith, which will now explode against the strongholds and schemes of evil, the hidden enemies of My Kingdom. The prevailing nature of Jesus is now filling the hearts and mouths of My heirs. Bold determination is filling them. The warriors of My Kingdom will now march and activate, through Holy Spirit power, ‘word bombs’ from My glory realm. ‘Verbal missiles,’ launched under Holy Spirit command, will hit the mark. Verbal, prophetic missiles, targeting Holy Spirit-planned attack points will destroy demonic strongholds. My ‘word bombs’ will explode, for a season of Holy Spirit power, released through the King’s ekklesia, has begun. A season when angel armies join forces with Father’s heirs and their ‘fire word decrees,’ has come. Power that brought a mud ball [earth] to order will now be seen on the planet again. Angels of fire and glory will be commissioned to help finish the plans of heaven. They will assist a flourishing finish. “The Lord’s present word to us is that He will use the ‘fire word decrees,’ stored in Kingdom arsenals, to set off kingdom fireworks. Tim concludes by saying, “We have planted millions of these seeds across this planet; massive crops of them are growing everywhere. The greatest harvest in all of history is now due. Hell doesn’t stand a chance.” ********************************** Pray with me: Lord, we align our voices with Yours in order to take down the powers of darkness. We decree that Your voice will be heard through Your ekklesia as our voices align with Your Words. Activate Your voice onto this planet. Activate the “fire words” of the King’s ekklesia across this earth. Come, God, and reshape America. Reshape the nations. Let the brightness of Your glory reveal the darkness in this world. Loose the warriors of heaven and the arsenals filled with the “fire word decrees” of the ekklesia. Loose angel warriors to empty the arsenals, releasing flaming arrows that devastate the positions of our enemy. Release your angels of fire and glory. We thank you for the promise of Holy Spirit that “word seeds” are being activated to produce after their kind. We pray that this entire planet would receive these fire arrows, along with the prayers that have been stored up for this appointed time. Loose Your voice through Your heirs, throughout America and across this world. Thank You, God, for the release of angelic assistance and the power of the Holy Spirit now being released. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Our Decree: Our voices are aligning with heaven’s plans, to help produce the greatest harvest of the ages. ******************************************** Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim Sheets.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-15-2021 November 15, 2021 Bringing the Nation into an Early Inheritance I was sent a very interesting and encouraging dream a few days ago by my friend, Clay Nash. Before I share the dream I need to review a couple of details from one of Gina Gholston‘s dreams, and the entirety of a subsequent dream given to her. My (Dutch) comments are in bold italics. Red River Eagles In the first dream, Gina was at the Red River Meeting House. One hundred eagles were there. After a geyser erupted, symbolizing the reopening of this well of revival, the eagles departed, flying through the water and becoming drenched with it. They then flew to different parts of America with the “revival water” falling off of them onto different regions. Each eagle had a scroll in one claw, 3 arrows in the other. There is much more to the dream, which you can read about in a previous post here. The Eagles Release Their Arrows In the second dream, Gina saw the eagles once again. Here is that dream: “I dreamed I was standing with someone on a deck-like structure in a very lofty place in the heavens. From this place, we were looking down, observing the United States of America. I did not know who the man was standing next to me, but I could feel a strong anointing from him, causing me to have an indescribable hope for the nation! “As we were looking down, we saw what first appeared to be warplanes flying over the U.S. The gentleman next to me said, ‘Oh my, I wonder what is happening in America? What do all of these warplanes mean?’ He said this, not with concern, but almost as though he was wanting me to see something that wasn’t obvious. He looked at me as if I should know the right answer to his questions. “I said, ‘Those are not warplanes, those are eagles! I have seen them before in a dream. There are 100 of them. They’re carrying water from the reopened well of revival at the Red River Meeting House. It has been unlocked and is now gushing forth into the nation.’ “Then I could clearly see that the eagles, just as in the previous dream, were carrying arrows in one of their talons and a rolled-up piece of paper in the other. Also, they were still drenched and releasing water from the geyser erupting on the grounds of the Red River Meeting House. “As the eagles were flying (in all directions) across America, suddenly they all began diving toward the ground. When near the ground they leveled off, and they began dropping their arrows into the land. I knew there were 100 eagles, and each carried three arrows, so 300 were released throughout the land. When each arrow hit the ground it ignited as though it had hit a gas pocket and a spiraling plume of fire shot up. Then we watched as the water the eagles were carrying and releasing was also being ignited by the fire. The water from the Red River Meeting House was extremely flammable and instantly caught fire. It seemed that all of America was on fire. “In the dream, I became VERY aware of the power and presence of God, fell to my knees, and began to sob uncontrollably! The gentleman with me then began speaking under an incredibly heavy anointing. (It was then that I noticed he had a very strong accent.) He said: ‘You have seen correctly! This is how America will be saved! Do NOT doubt it! There is coming a sweeping move of the Spirit of God that will ignite America with the fire of His presence. This will bring a swift, undeniable awareness of God and an awakening. What seems to be one thing is about to be revealed as another. Some are in fear because of how things appear, but others SEE with holy awe and expectation! “‘The eagles are on assignment. They carry “Fire Power”; they carry glory. And at the precise moment, their arrows will be released, hit their targets, and the move of God will ignite and spread very quickly!’ Then he said again, ‘Do NOT doubt it!’ “Still on my knees, I looked up at the man, and I somehow knew he was Duncan Campbell, one of the ministers from the great Hebrides revival.” ***************************** Clay Nash Dream “I dreamed the morning of Nov. 4th that the Lord told me to tell Dutch Sheets that He, God, was about to bring the nation into an early inheritance. “The dream shifted immediately to Dutch and I standing in front of an arcade machine. It had a toy bulldozer inside that was surrounded by Morgan Silver Dollars. The machine would move the dozer forward, then backward.” My remarks (Dutch): I believe the Morgan silver dollar was chosen in this dream for a couple of reasons. First, until this year it had been 100 years, back to 1921, since this coin had been minted. One hundred (100) is the biblical number of “fullness.” Abraham received the fulfillment of Isaac’s promised birth when he was 100 years old. A 100-fold return in scripture is a full return. We use the number 100 to speak of completeness or fullness of any item - 100%. The dream actually mentions the phrase ‘fullness of time’ at the end. So, most likely, the dream is using the Morgan Silver Dollar to picture a fullness of time. I will mention another reason I believe it is used at the end. The phrase “early inheritance” has fascinated me - God was bringing the nation an “early inheritance.” I believe our prayers and actions can have a bearing on God‘s timing. For example, because of unbelief the Israelites experienced a 40-year delay in receiving their inheritance of the promised land. In 2 Peter 3:12, scripture seems to be saying we can “hasten” the day of Christ’s appearing. Given the fact that our prayers and actions are used by the Lord to accomplish things in the earth, it seems logical that in some situations this determines His timing. Could this phrase in the dream be saying to us that our prayers and actions have enabled the Lord to bring America’s revival and restoration sooner than what was originally possible? I believe it is, that He is saying to us, “It’s working; keep praying!” Clay continues, “Dutch spoke and said the nation’s inheritance would begin there. He then said that if he had a Morgan Silver Dollar (to drop into the machine), he felt it could initiate a tipping point for a release of the nation’s early inheritance. I told him I had one in my pocket that my grandfather had given me that I always carried. I offered it to Dutch, but he refused it. I insisted, saying, ‘If you believe the tipping point can begin here, then you must use my coin.’ “Dutch took the Morgan Silver Dollar cautiously and sought God on when and where to drop, place and position the dollar. He waited for the dozer to reach its furthest back position. In the millisecond of time the dozer stood still, he dropped the dollar. The Morgan Silver Dollar fell perfectly, placed perfectly and performed perfectly. The toy dozer began to shove every Morgain dollar into the chute and they slid into Dutch’s possession. “Dutch began looking for my coin in order that he could return it to me. The third coin he picked had a slim piece of paper attached. It almost looked like what would be found in a fortune cookie. The paper said, ‘Welcome to the fullness of time.’” End of dream. Obviously, this printed statement reinforces what I said initially: we have come to a fulness of time. However, I believe there is another reason the Morgan Silver Dollar was used. On the back of the coin is an eagle holding three arrows in one of its claws. I believe God is confirming to us that the “fullness of time” has come for the arrows in Gina’s dream to be released. In her dream, the arrows were carrying fire and glory. Everywhere they were released, the fires of revival sprang up. According to Clay’s dream, this release of revival fire will restore to us our inheritance. And it’s coming “early” - we’re speeding up time! I’m not sure of the place; Clay was not shown in the dream. I said, however, “The nation’s inheritance will begin there.” Clay had the sense that the place was significant. God will show us where, if the location was, indeed, significant. Pray with me: Father, thank You for continuing to encourage and lead us as we pray for the release of Your great Holy Spirit outpouring. We are confident this is beginning. In the dream You said, “Do NOT doubt this.” We are confident that the prophetic arrows of deliverance and fire are positioned for the great release. They possess “Fire Power,” revival water and glory. You also said, “This is how America shall be saved.” Revival will save America. We ask for the arrows to be released NOW! We ask for an “earlier than expected” release, an “early inheritance.” You who change the times and seasons, please shift it now. And we align our decree with Your promise: “Arrows of the Lord’s deliverance, be released now!” We command the release of Your Kingdom into America, just as You instructed us. [“Thy Kingdom come,” in what we call the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:10) is actually a command. We are not commanding God; we are commanding FOR God.] We command the release of life. We command the release of deliverance, of new beginnings, of healed minds and bodies. And we command the breaking of all opposition, the tearing down of strongholds. We do this in Yeshua’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that we have reached a fullness of time, and the fire of revival is now being released. ********************************* Click on the link below to watch the full video.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-11-2021 November 11, 2021 A Veterans Day Tribute From A Military Caregiver This is Veterans’ Day. I have asked Jennifer Ostan, a friend of ours and wife of a combat veteran, to share her perspective of this important day. Jennifer is married to Major (Ret.) Will Ostan, who served honorably in the U.S. Army for 12 years. She now serves as Will’s caregiver, which she will explain, and has found a community among other military/veteran caregivers through the Elizabeth Dole Foundation (HiddenHeroes.org). They have twin daughters who are also learning to share their stories as military caregiver kids. At the end of the post we’ve provided links to the organization the Ostans founded to serve our veterans, as well as other great groups who serve these heroes. Here is Jennifer’s story... ****************************************** “I was sitting in my home office when I felt a breeze blow through the open window. It filled the room and was powerful enough to blow a card off of the decorative bulletin board I have on my wall. That board holds memories, special moments, and art prints that say things like, ‘Take it Day by Day’ and ‘Courage, Dear Heart’ - all visual reminders for my weary soul. The card that was carried to the ground by the gust of wind had a simple, but powerful picture on it – two pairs of shoes. One pair of red high heels and, next to those, a pair of tan leather lace-up military combat boots. Someone hand-made it with little cutouts of shoes and tiny little shoelaces that dangle off the card, just like the memories attached to them – so easily caught up in a breeze that likewise stirred them up in my mind. I opened the card to refresh my memory as to why I had it hanging there in the first place. It reads: ‘I believe 11-11 will always be an Anniversary, of sorts, for us. Thank you for loving me during my darkest hour. The best is yet to come!’ “My husband penned those words, not only as a Veteran, but as a wounded warrior, whose darkest hour has included fighting a rare disease from toxic exposure in Afghanistan. His words still ring true today, and I imagine they ring true for the more than 18 million veterans whose families, friends, and communities have loved and honored them in their darkest hours, all clinging to the hope that the best is still yet to come! “I have never really thought of Veteran’s Day as an Anniversary – in the traditional sense - Like that of a wedding, a career, or a milestone we mark each year. Anniversaries prompt us to pause and reflect, to celebrate or mourn, and to take stock of years gone by and all they’ve held in both joy and sorrow. As I sit here, a few days away from Veterans Day 2021, I am gripped by the words in that card and the anniversary that approaches. I’m grateful that, as a Nation, we come together on one sacred day each November to honor the roughly 7% of our adult population who have fought our wars and sacrificed more than most could ever imagine. Many of those men and women are combat veterans who come back with wounds, both visible and invisible, and their families, friends, and loved ones have the sacred job of tending to them and bringing light into the inevitable dark days and moments ahead. As a nation, we all rally around the idea that not only is America worth fighting for, but her Veterans and wounded warriors are also worth fighting for and honoring upon their return. “In contrast, we must also recognize that this Veteran’s Day is not just another anniversary or year gone by…this year has been extra hard on our nation’s heroes, and the domino effect it has had on their families and caregivers has been unbearable at times. With the events that unfolded in Afghanistan, a war that our Veterans have been a part of for 20 long, remarkable years, came an entire range of emotions, experiences, and convictions that rose to the surface. This is not just another day to find a Veteran and say “thank you for your service,” although that is always appreciated. This Veterans Day is an opportunity to understand, enter into empathy, and come alongside the heroes we honor and celebrate, to convey ‘I see you, I see your sacrifice, and you are not alone.’ “It is an opportunity to slow down, quiet our personal thoughts and opinions, and listen to the brave men and women who laced up those boots and bravely wore them into war. For out of their hearts, minds, and mouths will come stories we need to hear - if we will take time to ask and listen. Stories of sacrifice and courage, victory and defeat. Stories of heart-wrenching grief or infuriating anger and agony over the injustices seen and lived. Stories of families and allies left behind, both home and abroad. Stories of courage in the face of overwhelming fear. Stories of dodged bullets, close calls, and unspeakable tragedy that struck without a moment’s notice. Not all of these stories will come from the battlefield, however. Some of these stories originate on the home-front – where spouses and children, mothers and fathers, friends and brothers are bravely holding down the fort, experiencing all manner of challenges on their own, all tied to the service of their Veteran. These too, are among the oft’ overlooked and invisible casualties of war. No, this year is not like anniversaries past, it requires intentionality from us all. “As I pinned that card back on my bulletin board, I was reminded of an eerily similar photo I have, taken the night my husband returned from Afghanistan. It captured my shoes, kicked off next to his tan Army boots and his military duffle bag at the front door. In that moment, when I took that photo – I had nothing but happiness and relief in my heart, believing that the worst was over. That surely I’d be celebrating each Veterans Day to come with nothing but pride and joy in my heart – for my young family had made it through another deployment with our soldier safely home. Little did I know, when I kicked off those bright red, polka dot shoes, I’d spend the next 8 years fighting alongside my Veteran, counting the many tangible costs of his sacrifice…our sacrifice. His physical body, ravaged by toxic exposure, reminds me daily of the vast, varying, and lasting effects of war - on him and countless others. Many of whom have been so brave to share their stories with those who will listen. “Now to you, fellow Americans, who enjoy the liberties bought and paid for by brave volunteers living among us, in our homes, in our neighborhoods, in our hearts…to you, fellow Christians, who live in a nation that values honor and anniversaries, I challenge you to pause a little longer this Veterans Day…look a little deeper and listen more intently. This November, I challenge you to show up, even when you don’t know where to start. Whether that’s mowing a lawn, bringing a meal, leaving a note, or loving on their kids. Start somewhere. For this is not only how we remember, this is how we heal. We create safe spaces in our relationships to bring into the light all that has been loved, lost, and sacrificed, and we honor those who have lived those stories - both at war and on the homefront. “We remember that this year came in like a gust of wind that knocked loose memories that had been pinned to the walls of war. We recognize that current events have jarred and jostled, tearing afresh the wounds – both visible and invisible. You and I have the sacred honor of tending to those wounds. This Veterans Day, would you ask the Lord, who sees all and feels all, to help you see and feel it too. It’s often the simplest gesture that speaks the loudest. For in our ‘slowing down’ and ‘standing alongside’ those who have selflessly served our nation, we speak into their hearts a burst of hope that says ‘you are not alone and the best is yet to come!’ **************************** Pray with me: “Heavenly Father – we slow down today and we take a moment to pause and reflect on this anniversary, of sorts. We ask that You give us eyes to see and ears to hear, as we honor the brave men and women who have selflessly volunteered to serve in our Nation’s military, both past, and present - over decades of war. We bring before You the wounds they bear, both visible and invisible, and we ask for Your healing balm to soothe and repair. We count with them, and their caregivers, the costs of their sacrifice and ask You to restore in abundance all that has been lost. We pray that You comfort our Veterans and their loved ones who have witnessed the events unfolding in Afghanistan and experienced inexplicable trauma, anger, confusion, and more, all over again. We ask for empathy and understanding when their responses to these tragedies do not make sense to us. God, give us tangible ways to come alongside them and shine a light on the path to healing. Help us to find ways to celebrate, with honor, the liberties, peace, and safety we enjoy here in America because of our Veterans. We ask, Lord, that our words and actions convey gratitude for their service and supply hope for the future. We pray over them and their families John 1:5, ‘For the light shines in the darkness, and darkness has not overcome it.’ “In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Our decree: “Lord, we decree that each and every sacrifice, seen and unseen, at war and on the homefront, made by our Nation’s Veterans and their families, is real and valued. We declare honor and peace over our nation’s heroes on this Anniversary of their service, and we say the best is yet to come!” ********************************** For more on the Ostan Family’s story, visit arcofjusticeusa.org Jennifer Ostan serves as the Co-Founder, Arc of Justice: Advocates for Wounded Warriors.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/november-12-2021 November 12, 2021 A Combat Veteran’s Perspective on Afghanistan Thank you for all of your encouraging feedback regarding yesterday’s powerful post. We have passed on the praise to Jennifer. Today, we are going to hear from Jennifer‘s husband, William, and his thoughts regarding the recent Afghanistan withdrawal. Some of you are probably unaware that Will is the soldier who gave me my first Appeal To Heaven flag and explained the history of it to me. William bleeds red, white and blue. I’m wearing this shirt in your honor, Will. If you are moved in your heart to do so, you can donate to their outstanding nonprofit organization, Arc of Justice (you can donate to the general fund or if you prefer, you can designate it for their personal support). We have provided a link at the end of the post. ****************************** “One of the greatest honors in my life was to serve alongside Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets as part of a Special Operations Task Force based out of Kandahar, Afghanistan. We took the fight to the enemy for several months in 2012 and 2013. Some of my brothers and sisters were killed in action or severely injured. I also paid a personal price from this deployment by being exposed to an environmental toxin that led to a debilitating auto-immune illness which forced me into a premature and unjust medical separation process. “Because of the sacrifices I experienced first-hand, the unfolding events regarding the Afghanistan pull-out from the past several weeks have been gut wrenching to behold. As a combat veteran, watching the images of American citizens and our Afghan allies being callously left behind has been emotionally devastating and infuriating. After taking a few weeks to ponder and process the end of 20 years of combat operations, below are my thoughts. Before I share them in full, however, there are two brief prefaces which are important to provide context: “First, I hold no animus in my heart toward President Biden. While I do not agree with a vast majority of his policies and decisions, I never make ad hominem attacks against a President. I always seek to default toward honor due to his position of authority.[i] My aim is to posture my heart along the same lines as David did with King Saul. Also, whether I like a president’s policies or not, I’m commanded to pray for him according to the Apostle Paul’s instructions in 1 Timothy 2:1-4.[ii] “Secondly, we live in an age of exaggeration where the 24/7 news cycle bombards our brains with non-stop exclamations that our leaders’ respective actions were either the greatest or worst in history. Hyperbole is commonplace and desensitizes us to truly extraordinary moments. “With the above framework in mind, the following conclusory statement is not written from a place of misplaced anger or thoughtless misrepresentation: “I believe President Biden’s disordered withdrawal from Afghanistan will go down in history as one of the most tragic failures of leadership ever committed by an American President. “In my opinion, his pathetic and senseless decisions were criminal acts of gross negligence at best and manslaughter at worst. If the reports about giving the information about American citizens to the Taliban are true, which they seem to be, then treason was committed on his watch. Some may call this a harsh judgment, but I believe President Biden’s appeasement and acquiescence in the face of the enemy will constitute one of the greatest acts of treachery against the American citizenry in the history of our great nation. “This verdict will stand the test of time due to the following 4 reasons: 1) “President Biden dishonored the many sacrifices made by every combat veteran who set foot in Afghanistan. He completely disregarded the memory of those killed in action, who Lincoln said, ‘gave the last full measure of devotion.’ “I’ll never forget the memorial services at Kandahar Airfield. During a combat deployment, whenever a warrior is killed in action, a ‘ramp ceremony’ is held, no matter the time of day or night that the death occurs. When the call goes out across the base, everyone drops whatever they’re doing and attends the service, even if they haven’t slept in days and it is zero dark thirty.[iii] We celebrate that warrior’s life and salute the coffin as it’s conveyed up the ramp into the C-130 aircraft for the deceased’s final flight.[iv] It is an act of remembrance, full of honor. “President Biden’s single cowardly act dishonored each one of the 2,461 ramp ceremonies that have taken place in Afghanistan since 2001.[v] 2)“He violated the military’s longstanding promise to ‘never leave a fallen comrade.’ This is a very simple, but powerful tenet of the Army's Warrior Ethos.[vi] When American citizens are in harm’s way around the world, the military should be the last to leave, not the first. This is why the United States Marines bravely guard our International Embassies. After sending all civilians to safety, their boots are the last thing to touch the ground during a perilous evacuation. That’s not what happened here. The President left thousands of American citizens behind, all of them in imminent danger of being tortured or killed by enemy forces. 3) “He committed an unforgettable breach of faith with our NATO and Afghan allies. One Afghan Air Force Captain who piloted C-208 airplanes recently spoke to a New York Times reporter from a safehouse in Kabul and said, “I stood shoulder to shoulder with my American allies for five years – but now they have forgotten us.”[vii]The immediate consequence is a significant loss of trust in the international community. This will have inestimable negative repercussions for the wars to come. Potential future allies will not forget the abysmal end to a 20-year war. 4) President Biden’s decisions destabilized a dangerous geographic region and emboldened the enemies of freedom around the world. A worse attack than September 11th is now possible, if not probable. The Taliban became more powerful on 9-11-21 than they were on 9-11-01. Furthermore, a much greater threat is that China, Russia, and Iran are newly baptized with confidence. God forbid, if a World War III scenario ever unfolds, these countries now believe they can win. In their minds, America is weaker than ever before, as Ronald Reagan’s ‘peace through strength’ is no longer a guiding principle. So, where is hope to be found after this unmitigated disaster? This may sound strange, but I do find hope, in spite of President Biden’s failures. Nature teaches that it’s always darkest before the dawn. The end of the book of Daniel provides a blueprint for us by showing that amidst overwhelmingly difficult circumstances, “the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.”[1]Army Special Forces saying includes a directive that all Green Berets are charged to wade into uncertainty and prevail. My friends, this epitomizes our spiritual DNA. We are overcomers and were born for battle. Let us never quit until we have, like King David of old, “fulfilled the purposes of God in his generation.”[2] ***************************** Pray with me: Heavenly Father - You have seen every single sacrifice in war-torn Afghanistan. Every man. Every woman. Every child. Every casualty over the last 20 years. Not one moment in battle has escaped Your attention. Please comfort the families of those who lost loved ones, and heal the wounds of the warriors who experienced them. May we all resist bitterness toward those who have acted disgracefully. We leave the bringing of justice to You. Lord, please bring every American and ally home safely. We ask that You restore the fractured places in our military community, heal every broken heart, and bring restoration to the land of Afghanistan, as only You can. We know You are saving thousands of Afghans, revealing Christ to them. Please cause this to continue and intensify. Let Afghanistan become a land of revival! We ask for hundreds of millions of Muslims to be born again there and elsewhere. Pour Your love out on them. And we thank You for America’s revival and awakening. Restore us to Your purposes and the true greatness of servitude. Make us a loud and clear trumpet of the gospel of the Kingdom. Use us greatly for the harvest of the ages! We ask all of this in Christ’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the lives of our American warriors and Afghan allies were not lost in vain. There will be a renewal of honor in our military. ********************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ******************************** Bio: William J. Ostan is a retired Army Major and the recipient of two bronze stars. He is the founder and CEO of Arc of Justice, a nonprofit organization that advocates for wounded warriors. Will is the co-author of the Wounded Warrior Bill of Rights, which is bipartisan legislation being considered in Congress. You can find out more about his story and even donate to this non-profit at www.arcofjusticeusa.org [1] Daniel 11:32 ESV [2] Acts 13:36 ESV [i] Millions of American citizens believe that Biden is not a true President because he gained the position fraudulently. However, in the context of this devotional, I’m not here to relitigate that point since Biden has been formally installed as the President and is making daily decisions with the full weight and authority of that office. [ii] 1 Timothy 2:1-4. I pray regularly for President Biden as I did for Trump, Obama, and Bush. Every American Christian should be doing the same. It is possible to criticize and advocate against a leader’s policies in the public square while still praying for the leader. This can be a difficult needle to thread, but it is what we are commanded by God’s Word to do. The Holy Spirit will empower us to obey this command with excellence like Daniel did in Babylon. [iii] This is the military colloquialism for 30 minutes past midnight. The special operations community say they “own the night” due to their superior night-vision technology and training. Most capture/kill missions occur after the sun goes down. [iv] The bodies of all deceased warriors go through a solemn intake process full of honor at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. [v] https://www.defense.gov/casualty.pdf These numbers reflect the fallen from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel as of 10 a.m. EST on November 8th, 2021. [vi] The United States Army’s Warrior Ethos states, “I will always place the mission first, I will never accept defeat, I will never quit, and I will never leave a fallen comrade.” The Army has worked to instill the Warrior Ethos in all its Soldiers by the way they train, live, and fight. To have the Commander-In-Chief violate one of the sacred tenets of this ethos is shocking. Technically no fallen Servicemembers were left behind, but he did abandon American citizens whom the military’s job is to protect so I think the Warrior Ethos is applicable since left behind civilians are in danger of torture and/or execution by the Taliban, ISIS, or other terrorist elements.
