6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-4-2024 April 4, 2024 Come Home, Part 3 The following is from Come Home, a wonderful book written by my brother Tim Sheets, and his daughter Rachel Shafer. They share amazing revelation found in the story of the prodigal son, including something I’m quite sure you’ve never heard. The God Hug “There is a wind of Holy Spirit on this amazing parable of the prodigal son as if it’s being freshly told to us. It’s prophesying, I believe, into our moment right now, a phase of our Kingdom’s movement in this era. Jesus tells His disciples: ‘A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, “I want my share of your estate now before you die.” So, his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. ‘A few days later, this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. ‘When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, “At home, even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.’” ‘So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.” ‘But his father said to the servants, “Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.” So the party began. ‘Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, and he asked one of the servants what was going on. “Your brother is back,” he was told, “and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.” ‘The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, but he replied, “All these years, I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time, you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!” ‘His father said to him, “Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!” (Luke 15:11-32 NLT)’ “In this magnificent depiction of Father God’s heart, Jesus tells us that when the father saw his lost son off in the distance, he ran to him. He didn’t walk or stroll; he ran. The father was looking for his son to return. He was anticipating it, and when he saw him, he ran to him. It’s the only time Christ ever depicts Father God as running. “The great God of Heaven and Earth is not depicted here as sitting on the throne of the universe ruling and reigning, though most certainly He does. He is not depicted as standing before billions of angels and giving them orders, though He does. He is not depicted as riding a chariot of fire as the most awesome conquering warrior in all of time and eternity, though He is. He is not depicted as the great I Am leading people in great awesome deliverance and promised inheritance, though He is. He is portrayed as Father God, filled with unconditional love, running to welcome a lost child home. “There could be no greater or more graphic portrayal than the one Jesus gives us here. Religion and pharisaical ideas have portrayed Father God in a completely different way. “Religion says: ‘I messed up; my dad is going to kill me!’ “Sonship says: ‘I messed up; I need to call my dad.’ God Is Running “We are moving into an amazing era, and the world is going to see Father God run with a divine purpose: to bring lost sons and daughters home; to restore them, clean them up, and put new clothes on them. This is a present campaign being launched now by Holy Spirit. “In Luke 15:20 (KJV), Jesus used a word we need to focus on because it speaks to another awesome aspect of this campaign. He tells us that when the father saw his lost child coming, he ran to him and ‘fell on his neck,’ kissing him. “Fell on his neck,” as King James puts it, is the Greek word epipipto.(1) It would ring in the hearts of these disciples for the rest of their lives, becoming a common word in the early church. Its understanding gives such great hope. Epipipto means ‘to embrace someone in love, to hug someone in love, or to hug someone you love.’ Epipipto was called the ‘love embrace.’ Loving The Unclean “In Acts 10:44, Peter was at Cornelius’s house. Remember, Cornelius was a Gentile. He was Italian. The Jews had no dealings with Gentiles. They were prejudiced against them, considered them ‘unclean,’ and wouldn’t eat with or fellowship with them. Peter, at first, had refused to go to this home. “Then Holy Spirit gave Peter a vision in which he saw a sheet come down out of Heaven with all sorts of ‘unclean’ animals on it. Holy Spirit said, ‘Rise and eat.’ But Peter said, ‘I’m not going to do that; they are unclean.’ But Holy Spirit said, ‘Don’t you call common or unclean what I have cleaned.’ Through this vision and Holy Spirit’s admonition, Peter was willing to go to the home of Cornelius and declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. The Holy Spirit Hug “We are told that while Peter was doing so, Holy Spirit fell on them. ‘Fell on them’ is the word epipipto. Same word. While Peter was talking to them, God suddenly reached out in love and embraced these ‘unclean’ people. As they received the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit hugged them. It was a baptism of love upon people who, up until that point, were considered to be unclean - nobodies, low-lives. “Because of this ‘hug,’ Gentiles like us were welcomed into Christianity, which changed the course of history. “Peter said, ‘It has happened to them just like it happened to us’ (Acts 11:15), a reference to Pentecost. What happened at Pentecost to Peter and those who had gathered in the Upper Room had now happened to the people of the house of Cornelius.” My Words And God is going to embrace millions in the hour with His healing hugs. I believe your prodigal will be one of them. Pick up a copy of this wonderful book and allow it to help you pray this into fruition. Tomorrow, I am going to finish this short series on praying for prodigals and the unsaved with a post I have written. I share two stories to let you know just how much God loves them. NEVER underestimate His love and grace. The testimonies will inspire and encourage you. Prayer and Decrees: “I decree Father is running to our sons and daughters. I declare a release of God’s love on this generation, reclaiming and redeeming what the enemy has tried to lock up. I decree that ‘God hugs’ are being released to prodigals, as well as those who have never known the Lord. I decree the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies are new every morning. I decree that as ‘God’s hugs’ are released, bruises the enemy has inflicted are removed and healed - spirit, soul, and body. I decree that the rich and pure love of God is reaching into our prodigals' innermost beings, healing them and restoring God’s original intention for their lives. I decree that God never ceases to gently and tenderly call my prodigal home. I decree that one touch from the Father changes everything.”(2) *************************** Today’s post was taken from Tim and Rachel’s book Come Home.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-3-2024 April 3, 2024 Come Home, Part 2 From the book Come Home, by Tim Sheets and Rachel Shafer, on praying for our prodigals: “‘Thus says the Lord: “Restrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work [raising of your children, prayer] will be rewarded,” says the Lord; “and your children will return from the enemy’s land. There is [confident] hope for your future,” says the Lord; “Your children will come back to their own country.” (Jeremiah 31:16-17 AMP)' “In the study and preparation for this book, we came across a powerful truth regarding the biblical illustration of the Prodigal Son. “Luke 15:20 (NKJV) says, concerning the prodigal son, ‘...when he was still a great way off, his father...had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.’ “Jewish history enlightens us as to why the father ran, and it is a stunning revelation. This man’s son had demanded his inheritance, wanting what he considered to be his now, rather than when his father died, as was the custom of the day. After receiving his portion, the son left his home, turning his back on the values he had been taught. He eventually lost everything, wasting it all on parties and prostitutes, and ended up working in a pigpen. The son broke his father’s heart, as well as breaking all the rules of the tight-knit community he had been brought up in. After he came to his senses, the son decided to return home. Luke 15:20 tells us his father saw his son when he was still a long way off and ran to him. “In those times, a Middle Eastern man never ran, because in order to do so, he would have to raise up his tunic so he wouldn’t trip, and in so doing would expose his bare legs. In that culture, it was considered humiliating and shameful for a man to show his bare legs. In addition, it was known that if a Jewish son lost his inheritance among Gentiles, and then returned home, the community would perform a ceremony called the kezazah, or a ‘ceremony of shame.’ “During this ceremony, they would break a large pot or pitcher in front of the son. As they smashed it into pieces, they would declare him to be cut off from his people, all ties broken, and he would no longer be welcome in the community. “This, then, brings us to the question: Why did the father run to his son, which also brought a level of shame to himself? In essence, the father was running to get to his son in order to extend grace before anyone else could get to him with the law. He wanted to extend love, acceptance, welcome, and hope before anyone else could take it away. He wanted his son welcomed, not ashamed with humiliation and rejection. “As onlookers watched the father run toward his son, reuniting, hugging, and kissing him, it would be apparent there would be no kezazah. Instead, there would be a homecoming party, a celebration of his restoration, which only the father could bring. No rejection—his father bore the shame and showed everyone that his son was welcomed home. “The application for us is fairly obvious. Our Father bore our sin and shame through Jesus. We can be forgiven and redeemed, and even our lost purpose and destiny can be restored. As we repent, He wipes the slate clean and gives us a fresh start. “God’s Promise: What He did for the prodigal son, He will do for you, and He will also do it for those for whom you are praying. Lost purpose will be recovered.” Tim and Rachel tell us later in the book that our Father not only welcomes the prodigal, taking their shame and refusing to treat them as outcasts, but He Himself will war for their salvation. “The prophet Isaiah gives us a great promise that I believe we need to embrace: “‘Who can grab the plunder of war from the hands of a warrior? Who can demand that a tyrant let his captives go? But the Lord says, “The captives of warriors will be released, and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved. For I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children,’ (Isaiah 49:24-25 NLT). “Several other words for ‘retrieved’ are gotten back, recovered, restored. Joel prophesied in Joel 2:25 (KJV) that the years the locust, cankerworm, caterpillar, and palmerworm have eaten, God was going to restore. These pests were grubworms that would eat the harvest. God was literally saying that He was going to restore His people’s lost harvests. How many harvests (prodigals) have we lost? Millions and millions, and that’s why we prophesy a billion souls are coming in. They’re going to be recovered. God is going to fight those who fight us, and He is going to save our children. “There are evil cultural warriors promoting iniquity and perversion in our society. Tyrants have sought to capture our children with confusing lies and distorted ideologies. There are those who think they are giants, too big for us to stop them from indoctrinating our children with demonic ideas, who are about to discover that God is at war with them. “They will soon realize they are contending with Almighty God, and they cannot beat Him. Our God is saying to us, ‘I will contend with those who contend with My people. I will fight those who fight you. I’m on your side, and I will defend your cause. I will take the plunder of war away from them, and I will deliver those who are held captive. I will save your children; I will rescue them.’ “The Hebrew word for ‘contend’ is ruwb,(1) and it means ‘to grapple, to defend, to grab someone by the hair of the head.’ It means ‘to fight with words, to fight physically, legal combat through laws,’ and it is sometimes used as the word in the Old Testament for ‘ambush.’ It sounds to me like God means business! “Perhaps that is why Jesus says in Matthew 18:6 (PassionTranslation), ‘If anyone abuses one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him to have a heavy boulder tied around his neck and be hurled into the deepest sea than to face the punishment he’s deserved.’ “The Hebrew word for ‘save’ in Isaiah 49 is yasha(2) and it means ‘to free, to avenge, to rescue, to save physically and soulishly.’ It was very interesting to me when I studied this word. Hebrew scholars say yasha was specifically pointed toward the healing of emotions, or it referenced healing for someone’s emotional state. “The coming generation has been traumatized these past few years. Fears have oppressed them. Covid and ridiculous lockdowns have affected so many of our children to the point that some of them are suffering from depression and are on drugs for that. Depression is plaguing hundreds of thousands of American children. “But God says, ‘I’m going to pour out My Spirit and change things. I’m going to avenge them, and I’m going to heal their emotions. I’m going to heal their souls. I’m going to fight those who teach them demon doctrine. I’m going to wrestle with those who lie to them, exploiting their innocence. I’m going to contend, and I’m going to save them.’” Let’s agree with Him..! Our Prayer and Decree (from the book Come Home) I decree a Holy Spirit outpouring is beginning to move upon all flesh, upon our sons and daughters. I decree revivals will occur in hundreds of places where our young people gather, in all 50 states and nations of the world. I decree God is on our side, defending our cause and saving our children. I decree God is pouring out His Spirit and changing things. He is avenging our children and healing their emotions. I decree our sons and daughters are discovering that Father loves them, wants them, and is preparing a place for them. I decree that chains are falling off in Jesus’ name, and truth is revealed—and the truth is setting them free. I decree Romans 2:4, that God’s kindness leads to repentance.(3) ************************ Portions of today’s post were taken from Tim and Rachel’s book Come Home.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/march-25-2024 March 25, 2024 Introduction I don’t need to tell you how much I love and respect today’s guest. His passion, integrity, wisdom, and revelation are unsurpassed. No one lives the messages he preaches more than my brother, Tim Sheets. A man after God’s heart, his pursuit of the Lord has given him a very weighty mantle. You will be inspired, encouraged, and enriched by Tim’s word today. Thanks, Tim, for sharing with us. ____________________________________________________________ The Covenant Healing Room Recently, Holy Spirit has given me several words, visions and dreams that will help us discern our times. We are moving into a supernatural, transformational and reformational era where the glory and power of the Lord is being amped up at much higher levels. Prophetic dreams, visions, prophecies and scriptures we have been decreeing are now accelerating. The Holy Spirit has consistently emphasized that healings and notable miracles are to be part of this era. They are coming in greater measure than at any other time in church history. This has occupied my spirit because the divine healing ministry is a part of my personal heritage. My roots go back to what is called “The Voice of Healing Movement,” a time when healing evangelists held healing and miracle meetings across our nation and many other nations. It was an amazing time, an inspirational time. All manner of sicknesses and diseases were healed, even incurable diseases where man is concerned, were healed by the power of God. Well-known ministers of that time were A.A. Allen, William Branham, Jack Coe, Kathryn Kuhlman, Oral Roberts, and many, many others. When I was a boy, my dad also began to be used greatly in the healing ministry, conducting healing services. My brother Dutch and I regularly worked at the altars, and we saw the power of God manifest time after time. I have seen many miracles happen with my own eyes, including incurable diseases healed, blind eyes opened, and deaf ears restored. I have also seen a man, crippled and twisted in a wheelchair, unwind and his body completely realigned and restored. Over the years, I have received many prophetic words about releasing the healing and miracle heritage from my childhood, and I believe Holy Spirit is now accelerating this assignment. It is time for supernatural events to happen on the earth as was seen throughout the Scriptures. Notable miracles will now help change history as was seen in the Book of Acts. It is God’s will to heal. We are moving into days when notable miracles will accelerate through Kingdom Ekklesias. They will flow into towns, cities, regions, states and nations. It is time to believe for supernatural power of the living God to come into our churches. Believe for God possibilities. Believe for God action to start being released all around us. Believe for God manifestations. Believe for signs, wonders, miracles, and thousands and thousands of healings. In light of these recent words and visions that I have received, Holy Spirit has prompted me to pray for healings and miracles quite often. I asked the Lord one day to give me prophetic understanding concerning these dreams and visions and He gave me a very unique dream and a word that connects to notable miracles. In the dream I was in a very large room with what looked to be around a hundred people. All age groups were represented from young children to the elderly. I could see each individual very clearly. I looked over to one side, and I saw a blind man standing, holding a white cane. I looked around the room and saw people who were obviously deaf because they were using sign language. I saw other people with sores all over their bodies. The sores looked infected, and I knew it was some kind of skin disease or cancer. I saw others who were extremely sick and in the last stages of a deadly disease. I saw some who appeared to be stroke victims. They were paralyzed and dragging their leg or couldn’t use an arm. I saw a few others in wheelchairs. It was as if I was in a sick ward with people experiencing all sorts of sickness and diseases. I could see the hollow look in their eyes, the fear and the hopelessness that was written on their faces. I remember in the dream, I was feeling so bad and sad for them that I wanted to get out of the room because I didn’t want them to see me cry. I didn’t want to make it about me. At this point in the dream, I knew I was to walk across the hall to a room on the other side. When I walked into this room, it also had a hundred people or so inside of it. However, these people were completely different from the others. They were happy, they were joyous, laughing, and the absolute picture of health. They were energetic, filled with life, and interacting with one another. I obviously noticed the contrast between the two rooms. I stood there for a moment and a man walked up to me that I’ve never met before, but I instantly recognized him. (It was T.L. Osborn, who is now in heaven. He was one of the famous healing evangelists who moved in the healing and miracle ministry during the days of “The Voice of Healing Movement.” I’ve seen videos of his healing crusades where dozens of wheelchairs and crutches were left behind at the altar. Notable miracles happened through this great man.) The dream continued: He and another person walked up to me. T.L. Osborn asked me if I recognized the other man. I replied, “No sir, I don’t think I do.” Then, he brought someone else over to me and asked if I recognized him. Again I said, “No, Dr. Osborn, I don’t think I know him.” He continued bringing people to me and asking if I knew them, and I continued to reply that I did not. Then, Dr. Osborn beamed at me with his broad smile and asked me to look very closely at each person. So I did, but again, I said that I did not recognize them. He then said to me, “You were just in the room across the hall with these very same people.” He pointed to one person and said, “This is the one who had sores all over their body, and a part of their face was disfigured. He gestured to another person and said, “This person was the one in the wheelchair over against the wall.” He continued pointing out others, “This one was the stroke victim who could not move her arm. These people were the ones in the last stages of cancer who could barely stand. And remember this man? He said, he was the blind man with the white cane. Here are the children that you saw that were so sick and in such pain they could hardly move, let alone try to play.” One after the other he began to introduce me to these people so healthy and transformed that I did not recognize they were the same ones I had seen across the hall in desperate conditions. Then Dr. Osborn asked me if I knew what room I was in. To which I replied, “No, I just wanted out of the other room, so I came into this one.” He smiled broadly again and said, “This is the covenant healing room.” He pointed to a sign on the wall that read, “By Whose stripes we were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24) End of Dream. We are now in a season of great, notable miracles. King Jesus is stepping to center stage, with His Ekklesia by His side, to magnify His magnificent healing covenant. He went to the whipping post, took stripes upon His back, and purchased a covenant right to our healing. Holy Spirit is clearly saying it is time to press into the miraculous healing realm and believe for notable miracles. Pray with me: Father God, activate the gift of the workings of miracles and the gift of healing across this world in Jesus’ Name. We decree the King is rising to release notable miracles. Loose healings and miracles throughout all 50 states and around the earth. Loose them in our homes. Loose them in our families. Show us how big and how great You are. Holy Spirit, pour out power from heaven to activate miracles in our midst. We agree with heaven’s plan. We believe whatever the need, You can take care of it. Release Your healing power in Jesus’ Name, Amen. Our decree: All of the words, visions, dreams, and prophecies will accomplish their assignment concerning God’s healing power in the earth realm! The breaker anointing is rising and we will see notable miracles, signs, and wonders manifested. ********************** Today’s post was contributed by Tim Sheets.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/march-4-2024 March 4, 2024 Angels: Supernatural Enforcers I was in a service with my brother, Tim Sheets, a few weeks back, and Holy Spirit moved in profound ways. The Lord had brought revelation to various leaders before the meetings, which came together that night, and produced great breakthroughs. It was a very significant night. In today’s post, Tim shares the majority of information; I contribute some, as well. Tim shares: ********* “I believe Holy Spirit has revealed a Kingdom strategy for the Ekklesia that has now been activated at a new level. This will demand that we function as a true Ekklesia, the word Christ used to define the church. Remember, ekklesia, the word translated as “church” in the New Testament, is a Greek word that refers to a judicial or legislative body.(1) The word is used 113 times in the New Testament, proving it was intentional, an on-purpose name for the church. This meaning MUST be understood in order for us to comprehend our mission statement. “Our church recently hosted a Prophetic Summit, a night in which the Ekklesia convenes and presses in to hear from the Lord regarding our current season. As I was praying on the morning of the Summit, Holy Spirit allowed me to see into the spirit realm. “While praying I had said, ‘Lord, people are coming from around our nation, some driving many hours to be here. I want it to be beneficial to them and worth their time. Some are even flying in.’ When I said that, I heard Holy Spirit very clearly say, ‘They aren’t the only ones.’ I was immediately given a vision. “In this vision, I saw a host of angels coming to the meeting. Holy Spirit revealed that they were coming from other nations throughout the world. Based on the way they were dressed, I recognized different divisions of angels: I saw government angels, which partner with the prayers and decrees of a governing Ekklesia/church; and I saw seraphim, which are the mightiest order of angels. During this vision, I could sense the power, strength, and delegated authority of these mighty angels. Hundreds of them were coming to this convening of the King’s Ekklesia. “I trembled in the holy presence of God and knew Holy Spirit was revealing a supernatural level of assistance, and it was dramatically increasing. I began to weep as I saw the hosts of heaven coming from other nations and realized this would be a game changer. “I spoke that evening at the Summit, but did not share this vision. In fact, I hadn’t shared it with anyone. My brother, Dutch, was also one of the speakers and at the end of his message, invited a prophet, Clay Nash, to share a dream he had been given. In this dream, an angel, referring to himself as a ‘justice gate angel,’ told Clay this Prophetic Summit would be a ‘white stone meeting.’ My spirit leapt when he said this, and I instantly knew it was why the angels I had seen were coming to the meeting. “Revelation 2:17 (KJV) says, ‘… To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.’ When this verse was written, the giving of a white stone had two meanings. First, in the Roman athletic games, a white stone was given to the winner of a contest, race, or competition. The person’s name was inscribed on the stone, which served as a ‘ticket’ to attend an awards banquet.(2) “However, another meaning of giving someone a white stone occurred in the court system of Rome, which is what I feel the justice gate angel was referencing. Roman courts used juries, similar to our justice system. The jury would hear a matter, deliberate, and then issue a decision, just as we do today. When the verdict had been reached, a clear vase was set before the jury. They placed a black stone in the jar to indicate ‘guilty,’ and a white stone for ‘not guilty.’(3) DUTCH SHARES For the angel to state this would be a “white stone meeting” could mean two things: 1) We, the Ekklesia, were going to receive a favorable ruling from the courtroom of heaven; or, 2) We, the Ekklesia, were the jury and would be issuing the verdict! That is certainly a different perspective. Could it be? Were the angels actually coming to hear our ruling, and then would take action accordingly? Matthew 16:18-19 (KJV) says, “On this rock of revelation I will build my church [ekklesia]; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” In his book, Prayer Is Invading the Impossible, respected leader Jack Hayford (now in heaven) - based on a literal rendering of the Greek verbiage - says the following is a careful amplification of the above verses: “Whatever you may at any time encounter (of hell's counsels which I'm declaring my church shall prevail against), you will then face a decision as to whether you will or won't bind it. What transpires will be conditional upon your response. If you do personally and consciously involve yourself in the act of binding the issue on earth, you will discover that at that future moment when you do, that it has already been bound in heaven!”(4) Incredible..! Notice the portion, “You will face a decision whether you will or won’t bind it. What transpires will be conditional upon your response.” Not God’s response! This is amazing! And when Tim heard what the justice angel said, he knew in his spirit this was why the angels had come: to hear our “decisions” and “responses” in order to enforce them. They were waiting for Christ’s Ekklesia to hear what God was saying, judge situations based on His laws, and issue His verdict with their decrees. BACK TO TIM “When I heard the words that this would be a ‘white stone meeting,’ I knew Holy Spirit had sent the angels to hear the verdict of the Ekklesia: what it would forbid and what it would permit. In a sense, the Prophetic Summit was a court session and, based upon Matthew 16:18-19, what transpired would be conditional upon our response. “Job 22:28 (KJV) says we decree a thing to see it established, and Psalms 103:20 (KJV) says angels hearken to God’s words and decrees. When we decree verdicts based on God’s Word and will, they bring His/our words to pass. Angels are waiting to hear the ruling in order to enforce the verdict. They’re the enforcers of the Ekklesia’s biblical and Spirit-led rulings against evil, lawlessness, and corruption in their territories. Holy Spirit is releasing these powerful angels at a far greater level to enforce the Ekklesia’s verdicts, rendered in the King’s Name. “The supernatural enforcers have arrived. Will we issue the verdicts they need in order to battle hell’s forces? Or will we, through unbelief and silence, be a hung jury that can’t make up its mind?” ********* Pray with me: Lord, let this revelation seep into our hearts. You are revealing that the church’s authority reaches to greater levels and measures than we have known. The angel gate is open, and these mighty ones will hearken to Your words through us. They will enforce our binding of evil, and our loosing of nations, cultures, and governments from demonic rule. As our decrees for revival and reformation go forth, give us stunning victories and divine surprises in this season. We ask for these angels to enforce breakthrough decrees and verdicts against Baal and his activities. We accept our role as Christ’s ekklesia and declare that we do rule and reign with Him. In Christ’s name, we will open doors no man can close, and close doors no man can open. We will say what You say; Your Words will be our words! May Your Kingdom and Ekklesia rise for Your glory. May Your power be released in the lives of individuals. Let healings, breakthroughs, and victories be released, and may angels be assigned to minister in our personal lives, families, and businesses. In Yeshua’s name, we pray. Our decree: We decree that the supernatural enforcers are with us to carry out the declared promises of God. ************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ------------------------------------------------------ Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/july-17-2023 July 17, 2023 The Alarm Clock of Heaven One of our staff members at DSM is a chronicler. She archives the prophetic words we receive, as well as words given to the church in general, which we might want to reference later. Recently, she was led to look at two prophecies given by my brother, Tim Sheets, a few years back. “I believe we are seeing them fulfilled RIGHT NOW,” she said. I remember when Tim released these words on back-to-back Sundays; they are extremely powerful. I’m going to share one today and one tomorrow, to encourage you in your watchman roles for America and other nations. (As always, all militancy and warfare spoken of is spiritual war, not against individuals.) A New Roar “The alarm clock of Heaven is now ringing on the night stand of a sleeping Church; time to rise, time to rise to the occasion, time to get up! “I have lions hidden in My remnant, not wolves. They will now rise to patrol and remove the defeated ones, wolf packs, that have come to scatter My flocks. My lions will be fierce, bold, aggressive and unintimidated. They will not flinch when adversaries advance. They will stand strong,” says the Lord, “and fearless. "A new roar will be heard from My tribe announcing territorial dominion. A roar claiming geographical and spiritual jurisdiction shall now sound from My remnant; a roar establishing that the throne of the territory is occupied and guarded. A roar against hell’s power shall be sounded. A roar of authority in My Name shall come against hell's intrusions. My ‘called out ones,’ My ‘sent ones,’ will now become ‘step forward ones.’ "They will move forward in My power. They will manifest their rights as sons and daughters of God, ruling and reigning with Me, as intended. My heirs are stepping from the shadows of cultural bondage. They shall now display disdain of enemy princes, mights, thrones, dominions, and rulers of darkness. No longer will they compromise in shared rule; no longer settling for cohabitation; no longer accepting shared occupancy with spiritual evil. "Passive appeasement has now been replaced with backbones of steel, lips set on fire with holy ingots, and a shout of the King is in their voice, indeed. Jericho's shout/decree is in their mouth. Determined faith shall now be seen in My faithful ones as they march to remove demon philosophies and doctrines of devils from the land. No shared rule with demonic forces,” says the Lord. "My rule, My rule shall prevail. My words shall prevail. Power to prevail is being poured out. Power to prevail is soaking My remnant. Power to overcome hell's strategies; power to overcome demonic doctrine and a rebel government; power to ‘more than conquer’ demonic tactics is being released. Those who stand with Me shall see hell's fire misfire. "So arise and rule. Rise and roar with My authority. I will fill your enemy's mouth with sand and their hearts with quicksand. They will find themselves stuck in their own mire. Roar with My freedom. Roar with My liberty. Let rejoicing roar out of Zion. March into battle with confident peace.” My Shaking Will Open Ancient Wells of Revival "Great revival fire will now begin to burn through intercession-soaked regions as My awakening begins to roll. The regions will now become activated by My glory. The time of My shaking has come. I am shaking earth; I am shaking the heavens. Walls, strongholds, obstacles, and hell’s defenses are being shaken down, and My remnant is being shaken free. My shaking will open ancient wells of revival. The revival in the womb of My intercessors will now be birthed. "The revivalist mantle is descending upon My righteous evangelists. The fire shut up in their bones will now become words of fiery passion. With My Gospel, I will shake open the capped wells of evangelism. I will shake open the ancient healing wells. Miracles will multiply. My angels are pumping those wells and they are reopening as new wells. I’m creating new roads, new inroads, new mantles, new vision, new harvest. Behold I will do a new thing and you will see it. Now it will spring forth. "Because your cries have come before Me, because you have pursued My Presence," says the Lord, "because your worship has become sweet savor - the Lord of angel armies decrees over His remnant people - you shall now begin ‘reality church.’ No more acting, no more actors, no more pretending. Real church, real disciples, real Christianity, real worship, real power, real glory, real miracles, real healings. It is ordained, I have determined: ‘reality church.’ I am now removing arrows shot into My royal priesthood. Arrows of betrayal, arrows of Jezebel, arrows of Absalom, arrows of deceit and gossip borne by lying spirits, arrows shot by those bound by religious demons. I, Your God, am removing these arrows. You will be free. You will be healed. You will be restored and set on fire with My Presence, for I have said I will make My ministers a flame of fire. It is ordained, I have determined: your place of pain shall now be gain, and where you reign. You will rise and rule with Me. "I am now coming to My remnant. And I am coming as Lord Sabbath-Lord of Angel Armies. Because they have aligned with My purpose, I will now align My hosts to aggressively assist them. There is now coming a convergence of the angel armies and the church’s prayer army into a divine coalition, the coalition of My willing: those who run to the battle, not from it. "My earthly and heavenly armies will now challenge thrones of iniquity, thrones of idolatry, thrones of rebellion, thrones of witchcraft, thrones of humanism and antichrist dominions. Battalions are dispatched and await the decrees of My word through My saints. They will respond and overthrow iniquitous thrones so My saints can rule with Me. "It is now time for My greatest campaign ever on earth. Decree it," says the Lord. "Align your words with Mine and angel forces shall align with you. Align with angel forces in your regions, and I will accelerate an alignment within your nation. Yes, revival is now; the harvest is now; victory is now," says the Lord. “Arise and pursue My cause. Arise and roar. Arise and fight. Arise and shine, for Your light has come, and the glory of your God shines upon you!” This word is incredible. There is SO MUCH in it. Read it through a few times and allow Holy Spirit to direct your heart toward parts of it He especially wants to minister to you. Share it with others. Use it in prayers. Let’s do so in our prayer today. Pray with me: Father, just as You said in this word, the alarm clock of Heaven has sounded, awakening many in the church. Sheep have matured into lions and a roar is being heard throughout the land, a roar from Zion declaring territorial occupation and authority. Your called and sent ones have stepped forward, just as You said they would. Thrones of iniquity are being shaken loose and pulled down. We declare with You that You will prevail. Your words will prevail. And power to prevail is being poured on Your people. We are seeing hell’s fire misfire. Their mouths are filled with sand and their hearts with quicksand. They will find themselves stuck in their own mire. We also declare Your word that wells of revival are opening - ancient wells and new ones. Revivals in the wombs of intercessors will now be birthed, intercession soaked regions will now burn with holy fire. Revivalists are being released. “Reality church”, as You called it, will now be seen - real miracles, real power, real glory, real Christianity! We also declare Your words that angel armies have been released to help us. A greater partnership of earthly and heavenly warriors is emerging to dethrone iniquitous strongholds. Your greatest ever Kingdom campaign of advancement, salvation and deliverance has begun, and will not be stopped! We declare these things in the name of our Commander, Yeshua. Our decree: We decree that heaven’s alarm clock has awakened a warrior remnant, and their roar is being heard in our land. ********************* Click on the link below to watch the full video. --------------------------------------- You can learn more about Tim Sheets here.

6 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/july-18-2023 July 18, 2023 Revivalists and Reformers One of our staff members at DSM is a chronicler. She archives the prophetic words we receive personally, as well as words given to the church in general, which we might want to reference later. Recently, she was led to look back at two prophecies given by my brother, Tim Sheets, a few years ago. “I believe we are seeing them fulfilled RIGHT NOW,” she said. I remember when Tim released these words on back-to-back Sundays; they are extremely powerful. I shared one yesterday, and am releasing the second today. This word speaks of a great Kingdom “surge” by Holy Spirit in this season, producing power, revival, and reformation. I believe this has already begun on the earth. Holy Spirit also speaks of “a new breed of remnant warriors.” This is not implying that we are the greatest Kingdom generation that has existed…that we’re the best warriors God has ever had. A walk down memory lane of history would remind us of many great warriors from the past. God even uses some of them as examples of what will be seen in us, which obviously means we’re not better than them. Holy Spirit is saying that increased numbers, tools, and revelation in the church will enable Him to do new and unprecedented things on earth. I also believe the phrase is used to distinguish the coming brand of Kingdom warrior from the passive and ineffective church of the past few years. The word speaks of revival fire - “vortexes of tornadic fire” - coming to awaken people and silence God’s enemies. The Lord speaks of the release of revivalists and reformers - “regulators of culture” - versus those who are conformed and shaped by it. It has been said of the last generation of American Christians that we became a subculture, rather than a counterculture. Although the church was assigned by Christ to “disciple nations” (Matthew 28:18-20), in many ways, this generation of believers was discipled BY our nation. This prophecy is loaded with powerful promises and announcements of what Holy Spirit says is beginning. As always, all militancy and warfare spoken of is a spiritual war, not physical violence to hurt people. I encourage you to read it a few times, even use it in your praying. Enjoy! The Prophecy "’I have determined and will now cause a new season to be brought forth. What you have prayed for, fought for, and stood for is now being released. I have decreed it, and I will not relent,’ says the Lord. ‘The greatest push of My Kingdom will now begin. The Third Great Awakening shall now advance in tidal waves of My power. It is the season of My surge. "’You will now see the new breed of remnant warriors I have reserved for this day and hour. They are those who have not and will not bow to Baal, mammon, or religious impotence; they will have the set countenance of Daniel and will not flinch in the face of evil decrees. Like Esther, they will rewrite evil decrees by My statutes. Governors of the culture will now come forth. Remnant warriors will now emerge who have the heart of David, the wisdom of Solomon, and the tenacity of Paul. "’This new breed, standing for Me in this season, cannot be bought - they will not compromise. Their ear has been tuned to My voice, as was Samuels; I will speak, and they will humbly follow. They will dominate for Me, for I have not called My church to submit to culture. As My Ekklesia, I have called them to determine culture's path, regulating in My name and by My Word. Regulators of the culture are coming to their posts. I will arise in this new season with My remnant, releasing My glory, authority, power, and fiery hosts of angels. This shall become “evident support.” "’The call to My remnant is to now rise and destroy spiritual defilement in your region. Resist and reign. Resist and stand. I will rise to battle for you,’ says the Lord, ‘displaying My strong arm. I will not stand down. I will not be indifferent. I will not be a bystander. I will rise and thunder against iniquitous roots and abominations that mock Me. I will rise against idolatry. I will rise against antichrist governments that disdain and mock Me - I will not be mocked! I will not close My eyes, but I will look and see. I will know, and I will judge in righteousness. I will answer passivity with bold, aggressive warriors of purpose. I will not relent. Heaven’s Fire “‘I will now reveal revival fire engines; places emanating with Holy Spirit fire. Vortexes of tornadic fire will begin to spin through regions. I will now answer Baal's prophets with My fire,’ says the Lord. ‘The fire of My glory will be fanned by Holy Spirit winds. Hell will not stop it. Hell's obstacles will become its fuel. I will flame. I will burn. I will consume with Holy Spirit fire. "’I AM sending fire,’ says the Lord, ‘fresh fire, Heaven's fire! My remnant warriors will burn with My message, with My passion, and with My presence. They shall be Holy Ghost-possessed reformers. I will answer the weak forms of godliness with those who will not deny My power. They will release it in My name. Demonstrations of My mightiness will confirm their witness; creative miracles will be seen and reported. "’It is time for - and I Am - breathing forth a new Pentecost. You will inhale the sweetness of My anointing and exude the confidence of My power. You will live in the essence of My being and experience Holy Spirit wind. And you will war differently. Breathe deeper and dominate hell's kingdom - as I intended! Step forward and push, along with My Spirit and the angel armies. Push forward in My great campaign - it is time for My reigning church to push! Push the gates of hell, and they will not prevail. I will prevail. My remnant will prevail. You shall more than conquer! “‘So shift! Shift into the new season I have ordained. It is the season of my awakening. It is the season of my harvest. It is the day of the saints. It is the day of My power. Rise with Me and run into your purpose and destiny. Rise and receive your Pentecost. Run into the day of My power, My awakening, and My great harvest. “‘Rise with Me!’ says the Lord.” Pray with me: Father, thank You for this word of encouragement. You are not disinterested or disengaged from what is occurring in our world. You are watching, planning, and orchestrating. The glorious church You spoke of will be seen - an Ekklesia capable of representing You in authority and power, love and humility. You have spoken, and it will come to pass. You said when it’s time for Your actions, we must ask for them (Zechariah 10:1). We ask for the wind of Holy Spirit You spoke of. We ask for His fire, we ask for revivalists, and we ask for reformers - regulators of the culture, boat-rockers, trendsetters, and decree writers like Esther. We ask for high levels of wisdom in leaders, those who have God-inspired answers for today’s problems. And we ask for the sleeping giant, the church, to awaken. We thank You for the movement of prayer that is no doubt being used to birth these things. Breathe on this movement, and breathe through it. Build the covering prayer grid You spoke of in the “work while you celebrate” dream. Activate this “Christ DNA'' in believers around the world. Do radical things to continue exposing corruption in our government, lay trap after trap, and do as You spoke in Your Word - “Take the wise in their own craftiness” (1 Corinthians 3:19). Expose unrighteous lawsuits, corrupt agencies, and judges; vindicate the innocent. Shake down evil and allow all to see the purity of Your standing Kingdom. And send the worldwide revival of salvation and healing. We ask for all of this in Yeshua’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the new breed of believer is arising - awakened, filled with Holy Spirit, on fire, motivated, determined, bold, informed, and full of faith. *********************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. ------------------------------------------ You can find out more about my brother Tim at TimSheets.org.

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/january-5-2022 January 5, 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. The Mourner’s Bench About six months ago, I began to feel a different kind of anointing soaking deep into my spirit. It was very bold and aggressive. I had been praying for apostolic boldness like the apostles prayed in Acts 4:29 (paraphrased), “Grant that great boldness would be upon me to preach Your Word and give signs, wonders, and miracles in the name of Jesus.” I was taken into the spirit realm and I began to see and hear things more clearly than ever before. I entered a different realm, a higher level. I began to pray into this anointing, asking Holy Spirit, “What are you saying to the church?” I heard Him say, “I’m anointing my apostles, prophets, and Kingdom ekklesias to win both old and new battles.” New was emphasized. I began to understand that while old battles must be dealt with, new battles and new ways to engage were coming. I then began to hear the sounds of revival. It’s hard to explain but revival has a different sound to it. When I was a boy, 7 or 8 years old, I was often in revivals as my dad was an evangelist and I often heard these revival sounds. They have a different ring to them. There’s a heavenly frequency in them like vibration waves that resonate like the sound of many waters or the wind. As radio waves woven in to the atmosphere of a building, you cannot see them but you can tune into them. These are frequencies of heaven that can be heard during times of revival. Angels are also very sensitive to these frequencies. One of the songs I heard during this vision was the song of the Welsh revival with Evan Roberts. This is a revival I have studied for years and been inspired by. I began to hear the song of the Welsh miners who sang it under ground to the degree that people would gather lawn chairs around the air shafts to hear it echoing up from the ground. “Here is love, vast as the ocean, Loving-kindness as the flood, When the Prince of Life, our Ransom, Shed for us His precious blood. Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise? He can never be forgotten Throughout heav'n's eternal days.”(1) People were drawn to Jesus as this song was sung repeatedly. I also could hear clearly the song George Beverly Shea sang hundreds of times for Billy Graham’s crusades, piercing the hearts of those who were bound by sin: “O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art.” (2) I also heard this song of the Brownsville revival: “He has fire in His eyes And a sword in His hand And He's riding a white horse All across this land And He's calling out to you and me Will you ride with me?” (3) And everybody would answer, “Yes, yes, Lord, we will ride with You!” I then began to hear the cries of revival and remembered as a young boy how we would gather at the altar on Wednesday and Sunday nights and the saints would pray for souls. In those days, they called the altar the mourner’s bench. This is where you came to lay and kneel and mourn over the lost. You pleaded and cried for them. I remembered hearing saints calling out for their unsaved loved ones to come to Jesus. One that I’ll never forget… a mother came to the altar and she was crying as hard as I have ever seen anyone cry, sobbing. Tears were dripping down off of her chin and for 10 minutes, she knelt at the mourner’s bench with her head laid on it and all she said was, “God, don’t let Jimmy go to hell. Jimmy can’t go to hell, God. Stop Jimmy. Do something, God. Jimmy cannot go to hell.” She said it so many times and the memory has remained with me through the years. She was so burdened for her unsaved son. I began to think about the conviction that was so present during the altar calls back in those revivals. You could sense and feel the intensity of conviction drawing people to Jesus. Conviction is a knowing that you are guilty and an atmosphere would come into the room. I know I’m guilty, I know I need Jesus, and sorrow would begin to grip those without Christ in the room as they sang other revival songs like, “Oh why not tonight? Come to Jesus, come to Jesus.” There is a story I remember vividly my grandparents shared with me. Dutch and I used to go and stay with them during deer season when we were hunting. On one occasion I was staying with them and for some reason, maybe because I was older and so were they, I began to ask them questions about their lives. I wanted to know more about them. Sitting beside my grandfather in his recliner one evening, I said, “Grandpa, how did you become a Christian?” My grandmother spoke up and said, “Tell him the whole story, Bill.” And he did. My grandmother had been asking him to go to revival service with her for many days. He finally agreed to go with her and off they went, sitting toward the back of the church. Conviction came upon him. He didn’t come to Christ that night but conviction began to grip his heart and she invited him to go the next night. He tried to get out of it but finally he relented and went and again, he heard the Gospel. On the third night, grandma said, “Go with me to revival,” and he replied, “No, I have to take care of the garden,” but she begged him and he finally relented. They went and again sat toward the back on the aisle. As altar call time began, my grandpa said that conviction of sin overwhelmed him and he scooted out of his pew into the aisle, and then he crawled all the way up the aisle to the altar and stopped three feet short of it, laying on his face, and gave his heart to Jesus. I asked him, “Why did you crawl all the way up there and then stop before actually reaching it?” He said, “I wasn’t worthy to walk up to that altar in the presence of God after all I had done so I just felt like I should crawl.” Grandpa gave his heart to the Lord that night and for the rest of his life served Jesus, even becoming an Elder in that church. Conviction is a loving presence of God that reaches out - yes, bringing remorse for sin but bringing hope for a new life. I heard these sounds and I knew that awesome revival was beginning to stir up in our nation again and great conviction would be coming into our services, drawing men and women to Christ Jesus. New songs of revival are coming and the great harvest that we have desired is going to be reaped. Revival and awakening are not going to be stopped. Hell doesn’t stand a chance! The billion soul harvest that has been prophesied is coming. Let me encourage you today to allow revival sounds to fill your spirit. Let a revival song fill your heart and let the cries for the lost begin to fill you. Cry out for your sons, your daughters, and grandchildren. Let’s see great harvest! Pray with me: Lord Jesus, we thank You for what You are doing on the earth. We thank You for the promise of revival, reformation, and the greatest awakening in all of church history. We’re praying, Lord, for this to accelerate. We pray for a billion soul harvest to be reaped. We pray for prodigals to come home. We pray, God, that the awesome sounds of revival would be heard all over this planet. Let the power and ministry of Jesus Christ and the glorious Gospel of His Kingdom be seen in a new level in the name of King Jesus. Our decrees: These decrees are taken from my first Angel Armies book (4). Decree them with me and come into alignment: The greatest days in church history are not in our past; they are in our present and in our future. Angel Armies are ascending and descending. We are under an open heaven. Angels are ministering fresh fire from heaven’s altar and power from heaven is flowing to us and through us. Holy Spirit is breathing life into our King’s revival campaign. Today’s post was contributed by Tim Sheets.
