<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Israel is currently defending the Golan Heights from Iran's hostile
bases in Syria by launching very precise missile strikes. The presence of
Turkey, Iran, al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State, Hezbollah, Hamas
and other enemies of God and of Israel in the Syrian theatre has many wondering
about the Isaiah 17 prophecy about the destruction of Damascus. There is much
speculation about whether we are now entering into the end time scenario written
so much about by the prophets in the Bible. Certainly, the crucible of prophecy
is being stirred and heated, but we must pay close attention to the actual words
and context of the prophets to discern current events.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">According to the prophet Isaiah, 17:1, "The burden of Damascus.
Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous
heap." Many point to this verse to speculate when and how Damascus will be
destroyed. If we study the context of the prophecy, Chapter 10 begins with
prophesying judgment on Assyria and Ephraim (one of the tribes of Israel) for
attacking Israel. Damascus is named as one of the Assyrian's vassals. Damascus
also is included in end time judgment accounts of Egypt, Babylon, Moab, Assyria,
Ethiopia, Tyre, Philistia and others. This demonstrates the near and the far of
prophesy. Some of this was fulfilled historically; other parts of it are yet to
be fulfilled.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There has been a lot of talk that this is the time that perhaps
Isaiah's prophecy will be fulfilled. Damascus, after all, is hardly a city
nowadays. It is maintaining a heartbeat after years of civil war and fighting
that includes various al Qaeda terrorist groups, Hezbollah from Iran, Russian
interests, American interests, Turkey, the Islamic State, and, of course the
Assad government. The ingredients are there for the total destruction of
Damascus. Damascus may be devastated by this massive gathering of many forces,
but it is not the total destruction prophesied by Isaiah. As with most prophecy,
it often appears to be fulfilled, but in types and shadows, layers, and signs
before it is ultimately fulfilled. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The context of Isaiah 17 is judgment on nations that come against
Israel, beginning in Chapter 9 and continuing through Chapter 24. The phrase
"In/At that day" is mentioned no less than four times in Isaiah 17, a short
chapter of 14 verses. This phrase is an indicator for the Day of the Lord,
meaning when the Lord returns to judge the nations that came against Israel.
Verse 7 says, "At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall
have respect to the Holy One of Israel." Verse 11 speaks that the harvest shall
be a day of grief and of desperate sorrow. Context is key. It's irresponsible to
take just one verse and develop a scenario or doctrine around it. In Syria, we
are seeing prophetic movement, but we will know when God fulfills the prophecy.
It will be clear.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Democratic Party is housing communists
and passing them off as progressives-a word used to gain general public approval
of communistic ideals. Failed presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders
(I-VT) is one such individual. He is introducing a federal jobs proposal that
would guarantee every adult American a $15-an-hour job with health benefits. The
Hill reports that two additional Democratic Party presidential hopefuls,
Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) have expressed support
for similar proposals. Our economy, religion, speech--pretty much the entire
Bill of Rights--are threatened by sweet sounding proposals laid as snares to
liberty, baited by emotional self-righteousness.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">With guaranteed government jobs and mandatory healthcare the
government would have control over the financial and physical lives of every
individual in the nation. This is where the guarantees of free speech and
freedom of religion come into play. Jesus said in Luke 4:18,19, "The Spirit of
the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." He commissioned us to make
disciples and to carry on his mission. The fundamental mission of government is
far different than that of church. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">From a Christian worldview, it is Christ's people, not a centralized
government, that must minister to the poor, and provide healing, restoration,
comfort and vigilance over Liberty. The earliest account of American history
provided by Mayflower leader William Bradford indicates that the ability to
worship freely was the central theme of the Pilgrims. And in that, he writes,
"We are knit together as a body in a most strict and sacred bond and covenant of
the Lord, of the violation whereof we make great conscience, and by virtue
whereof we hold ourselves straightly tied to all care of each other's good." And
they proved this when they were dying sometimes two or three per day in their
care for one another's health.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When the Pilgrims were starving while trying to grow food communally,
Bradford gave them their own land to till, which turned the colony around. He
says, "The failure of this experiment of communal service, which was tried for
several years, and by good and honest men proves the emptiness of the theory of
Plato and other ancients, applauded by some of later times--that the taking away
of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth,
would make a state happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than
God....community property was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and
retard much employment which would have been to the general benefit and
comfort." Beware of communists in political party clothing lest we repeat this
disastrous example.</span></div>

who desire to be holy. I Am requiring more from you, and as I require more from
you, I will give more to you. A special anointing shall rest upon you as you
desire more holiness from within, I shall anoint you fresh and you will be fully
graced to do it. You will out run those weak areas in the past says the Spirit
of grace and mercy and you will stand strong and bold. You will represent me
well, as I place upon you insight and wisdom, insight and wisdom beyond what you
have acquired before this season. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524186743766_3275">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1524186743766_3274" style="color: #6000bf;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Yes, I hear the Lord saying, great
wisdom shall come in these hours, but there shall be a requirement says the Lord
for that wisdom. You are required to walk out that wisdom that I Am giving you
in these final hours and it shall confound the wisdom of this world. It shall
not be like the usual church wisdom, you are walking into the realm of hearing
and doing as I speak. You are about to break some boundaries, you are about to
break some things that have been the norm. I have placed a special anointing
upon you and with that wisdom shall come the ability to accomplish that work
that I have required for you to do. I have helped you to have a desire to
please Me, a hunger to please Me, a passion to be righteous, a longing to be
holy and that can only come from Me. I have brought you to this moment in these
final hours, yes it is the final hour, look around and understand and discern
the season, many are falling away, but you still stand, and staying whole,
staying strong and staying holy, know that you shall bear much fruit in the days
and times that are ahead says the Lord. I require from you in this season to be
bold, strong and to not back down, to hold steady to My word, and to speak the
word for many lives are dependent upon you speaking truth into their lives says
the Lord. If you hold back says the Lord many souls will be lost because you
did not speak truth into that atmosphere. I have anointed you to be bold and
strong and not look at men's faces for this is the requirement that I have, do
not fear men faces. It is a requirement of holiness, not only to speak holy,
but to be holy, to live a life that is pleasing unto Me. Separate from this
world's system and all that is defiled. I anointed John the Baptist and he went
into the wilderness to seek My face and there was a special anointing upon his
life that separated him from the world and the things of this world. So there
is a special anointing right now that I Am pouring upon My people to separate
them from this world and the things of this world, so that when you speak many
shall have ears to hear that would not have heard before. Many shall be
astounded by the words that come from your mouth in power. They will even
recognize that it is not you, but they will recognize that you have been with Me
says the Lord. So I am saying this is the time to come away with Me, come away
to the wilderness where you will hear me, and the things that you say will be
sharp and cutting words to divide between the pure and the defiled, but at the
same time they will be healing words, they will be redeeming and restoring words
for all who will hear with their spirit ears. For too long you have cared about
how you have said what My word says, for too long you have cared about who you
have hurt with My truth, so you have watered My word down and made it
ineffective to those I have sent you to. I say unto you, truth will hurt and it
will separate, but for those who are willing and who want to be saved, redeemed
and restored, they will hearken to the words that you say. Many will fall but
it is better that they heard the truth by the words that you speak, rather than
falling by fabled words. So I say to you, be bold, be strong and allow that
anointing to make you a vessel fit for My service. We have been waiting on you.
Do you not understand that all creation have been moaning and groaning and
travailing waiting for you, My children. The sons and the daughters of the most
high God with My words in their heart and on their lips and doing exactly what I
say, when I say. This is the time and the season!</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(<a href="https://www.naturalnews.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">Natural News</a>) According to a study, lentils can help significantly reduce “<a href="https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/451062/Lentils-are-key-to-beating-high-blood-pressure" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">dangerous blood pressure levels</a>.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Additionally, new data also showed that lentils could reverse deteriorating blood vessel health.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The researchers explained that the study, which was conducted on rats, proved that consuming the health-boosting food regularly can effectively prevent the increase in blood pressure which occurs as we grow older.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Based on the findings, eating lentils can also reverse the changes that occur in blood vessels due to high blood pressure.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Peter Zahradka from the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://umanitoba.ca/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">University of Manitoba</a></em>, the lead investigator for the Canadian study, explained that this is good news because lentils are a “non-pharmacological way of treating diseases associated with blood vessel dysfunction.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i style="box-sizing: border-box;"></i>The findings are a continuation of two earlier studies. The first was a clinical trial that showed how eating legumes – particularly a combination of beans, chickpeas, lentils, and peas – could boost blood flow to the legs of patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease. This condition is connected to coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The second study found that lentils could effectively block high blood pressure. (Related: <a href="https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-03-05-probiotics-for-your-heart-eat-yogurt-twice-a-week-to-reduce-risk-of-heart-attack.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">Probiotics for your heart: Eat yogurt twice a week to reduce risk of heart attack in those with high blood pressure by up to 30%</a>.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Zahradka added that the most notable finding of the recent study illustrated how lentils could change the physical properties of blood vessels to make them resemble the vessels found in healthy animals. However, human studies are required to confirm these findings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Julianne Curran, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Pulse Canada’s </em>director of nutrition, scientific, and regulatory affairs, concluded that lentils could be part of a simple, cost-effective dietary strategy that can help address cardiovascular disease. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Pulse Canada </em>is the national association that represents the growers, processors, and traders of Canada’s pulse crops.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Foods that can help fight high blood pressure</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you or someone you love has high blood pressure, <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/foods-good-for-high-blood-pressure#foods-to-try" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">eat more of the foods below</a>:</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bananas</strong> – This fruit contains potassium, and fresh produce is a better source of potassium than supplements.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beets</strong> – Beets are full of nitric oxide that can help open the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. You can make juice from beets, or you can cook and eat the whole root.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Berries</strong> – Blueberries are rich in natural compounds called flavonoids. These compounds can help prevent hypertension and lower blood pressure. Other sources of flavonoids include raspberries and strawberries.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dark chocolate</strong> – This healthy treat is linked to a lower risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Eat at least 100 grams of dark chocolate daily to help lower your risk of CVD.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Garlic</strong> – Garlic can help minimize hypertension by increasing the amount of nitric oxide in the body.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Herbs</strong> – Herbs are a healthy substitute for salt if you love eating flavorful dishes. Sources include basil, cinnamon, rosemary, and thyme.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Olive oil</strong> – Olive oil is a healthy fat, and it is rich in polyphenols, the inflammation-fighting compounds that can help lower blood pressure.

For many years, my focus has been the preparation of the Bride, but since the beginning of the year 5778, I have received a considerable number of warning dreams. Some show great disaster unfolding by the hand of man, such as the nuclear explosion over an American city. Others have depicted natural disasters to come. With these dreams comes a sense of responsibility to release a warning, so that other saints may pray and get further revelation, in order to be fully prepared and know what the Lord would have them do. I do not find it comfortable receiving or sharing these words but who are we to decide what God must reveal to us. We are entering days unlike any other and my heart breaks at the thought that much of the Church is woefully unprepared both spiritually and naturally for what is at the door. With this said, I had a strange dream on 12<sup>th</sup> April in the morning watch. I do not yet have full understanding of all the elements of the dream, but this morning I had such a sense of urgency to release what I have and trust the Lord to speak by His Spirit to others who are able to add understanding. Please feel free to write to me if the Lord shows you anything further about the elements of the scene I saw unfolding.<br /> <br /> In the dream, I walked outside, followed by someone else, and it wasnight. There were no stars but a huge full moon had just risen over the horizon on the right (east). In front of it, I saw a large number of tiny red pin lights, almost like fireflies, clumped together, but they were not on my level, but high up, close to the moon. Then in the blink of an eye, they changed formation to form the outlines of a house, and while I was staring at this, they again swiftly changed into another formation before disappearing from view. Then I said to myself, "Is that really the moon?" and I saw thousands of black flapping wings moving away from the moon towards the left of the dark sky (westwards). I thought initially they were bats, but then I looked up straight above my head at the expanse of dark sky, and I saw dark angels with huge wings flying head to toe across the whole expanse of the sky. There was not one inch of the sky that was visible. It almost looked like a bumpy dark storm cloud situated low overhead. I knew these were the same beings that had looked like red lights before and I was witnessing a huge release of dark angels. Then someone behind me said, "It's Jupiter's birthday/ birth day" and I woke up.<br /> <br /> In the dream, it seemed like what I witnessed was a release of troops from the kingdom of darkness, which may be connected to the unfolding war in the Middle East and prophetic end-time events occurring at this time. The number of demonic angels was beyond counting and very disturbing to behold, as I knew they were on specific assignment under satan’s orders. When I woke, the scripture in Zech 5:9-11 came to mind about the angels with big wings that carry the vessel containing the woman called wickedness to Shinar (Babylonia) to build it a house. Shinar is the place where Nimrod built his first cities.<br /> <br /><em>Zec 5:5 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and said to me, Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth. Zec 5:6 And I said, What is it? And he </em><em>said, This is the ephah that goes forth. And he said, This is their form in all the earth. Zec 5:7 And, behold, a lead cover was lifted up, and a woman was sitting in the middle of the ephah. Zec 5:8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he threw her into the midst of the ephah; and he threw the lead stone over its opening. Zec 5:9 And I lifted up my eyes and looked. And, behold, two women came out. And the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of the stork. And they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. Zec 5:10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, Where are they going with the ephah? Zec 5:11 And he said to me, To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; and it shall be made ready and placed there on</em><em> its own place. </em><br /> <br /> Nimrod was a mighty hunter against the Lord and was responsible for the building of the tower of Babel and the above scripture speaking of building a house for this woman called ‘wickedness’ in Shinar brings to mind those red lights making the formation of a house in front of the full moon. There are many who say that America isthe modern-day Babylon and so the building of this ‘house’ may speak of the setting up of a seat for the antichrist to rule from, along with great wickedness being released in the earth.<br /> <br /> Google tells me Jupiter was the Roman sky god whose symbol is a lightning bolt; his equivalent being Zeus among the Greeks. One of his most ancient epithets isLucetius (“Light-Bringer”), obviously connecting to Lucifer. The scripture about satan falling like lightening from heaven came to mind when I read about the lightning bolt symbol and I suspect the mention of Jupiter’s birthday may refer to the unveiling or bringing into open view of the antichrist, accompanied by a huge release of dark angels. The stork is a bird associated with birthing in folklore and the ones carrying the ephah to Shinah had wings like a stork. Notice also in the following scripture that the dragon and his angels fought in the heavens before being cast down to earth.<br /> <br /><em>Rev 12:7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought. Rev 12:8 But they were defeated, and there was no room found for them in heaven any longer. Rev 12:9 And the huge dragon was cast down and out--that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him.</em><br /> <br /> Satan was forced down to earth and his angels along with him. No doubt this is the time when he fully inhabits the man waiting in the shadows for hisendtime role as antichrist, and terrible persecution breaks out against believers (Rev 12:17). Thankfully the woman who has brought forth the manchild is carried by the wings of a giant eagle to a place of protection during the 3&1/2 year rampage of the dragon.<br /> <br /> The mention of Jupiter’s birthday has puzzled me since I had the dream because I wasn’t quite clear what the Lord was showing me. On September 23<sup>rd</sup> last year, the Revelation 12 sign appeared in the sky and Jupiter, which had been in the womb of the constellation Virgo for the length of a pregnancy, emerged from that place in the depiction of a birthing. This was interpreted by many in church circles as the depiction of the manchild coming forth in Revelation 12 and the accompanying release of kingly anointing as Jupiter is known as the king planet.<br /> <br />Apparently the same constellation was in the sky in 2BC when the wise men began their journey to see Jesus. Satan is the master counterfeiter and so it makes sense to me that he would also desire to use the appearance of a similar constellation to announce his imminent coming forth. In that scenario, the Rev 12 sign on Sept 23<sup>rd</sup> was announcing the coming of the antichrist in the year to follow. But why was the Lord showing me in my dream of the 12<sup>th</sup> April that it was Jupiter’s birthday when these dark angels were released? It didn’t make sense to me to depict something that happened 7 months ago. So I decided to investigate the timing of what I had witnessed. </span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,marker felt-thin,arial,sans-serif;">In the dream, I was personally viewing the moon and as I am in Cape Town, South Africa, I assume what I saw was from that vantage point.</span><span style="display: none;"> </span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,marker felt-thin,arial,sans-serif;">As I came out of the building I saw the moon to my right rising in the east. At this time, Jupiter would appear very close, if not almost at one with the moon from where I stood. Could the red lights I saw be connected with the planet Jupiter in the same region of the night sky as the moon?<br /> <br /> I decided to investigate the dates around the coming full moon which was in my dream and was disturbed by what I found. April 19 to May 1 is the Blood Sacrifice to the Beast for those who worship satan. Fire sacrifice is required on April 19. Then April 30 to May 1 is Beltaine Festival, also called Walpurgis Night, two of the most important occult periods in the calendar year. (No wonder I saw the release of countless thousands of dark angels on this night) This is the time of year when they believe Ba’al or Bel was killed and sent into the underworld, to be resurrected by his</span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,marker felt-thin,arial,sans-serif;">lover</span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,marker felt-thin,arial,sans-serif;"> sister, Anat. Remember Baal is also known as Jupiter or Zeus! <em>May 1</em> is the Illuminati's second most sacred holiday, during which human sacrifice is required. It was on the night of April 30<sup>th</sup> through to May </span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,marker felt-thin,arial,sans-serif;">1</span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,marker felt-thin,arial,sans-serif;"><sup>st</sup> 1776 that the Illuminati was founded. So the scenario depicted in my dream occurs on a sacred day for the occult world.<br /> <br /> Many have speculated that the recent air strikes in Syria mark the beginning of WWIII. The ultimate goal of this war is to usher in the New World Order with the antichrist as the ruler of the world. According to former Illuminati satanist, Doc Marquis, once World War III begins the antichrist will arise on the world scene in 13 weeks (91 days). THere are 13 weeks from Friday 13th April to Friday 13<sup>th</sup> July, and this is the fist day of the month of Av, the month when both temples were destroyed and Jerusalem was ravaged by the enemy.<br /> <br /> <br /> On the 19th April 2016, the Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA), with Mayor of London Boris Johnson, unveiled their replica of the Triumphal Arch at Palmyra in Trafalgar Square. The 19<sup>th</sup> April is first day of Feast to the Beast celebrated by all who worship satan. This arch is actually the gateway to the temple of Baal/Jupiter and so the erection of the replica in various chosen cities worldwide has been a definite strategic mapping and preparation for people of the world to enter in and worship the antichrist, who is soon to appear, bringing ‘peace’ after the orchestrated chaos of those working to bring in the new world order. How interesting that the original arch and temple complex is in Syria, the very nation embroiled in the first stages of what I believe to be WWIII. Of course, there are no coincidences with Illuminati planning. There is far more going on that what meets the eye.<br /> <br /> Saints, although I still don't feel I have full understanding concerning the reference to Jupiter's birthday in the dream, the last two weeks of this month of April are still definitely a time to be on heightened alertness, praying much and seeking the Lord’s face. There is coming a huge unleashing of dark angels along with much wickedness in the season we are entering. Seek the Lord for angelic protection for your loved ones and pray for the saints in the Middle East. Get oil for your lamps.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">The
Lord wants to <i>blow</i> the doors off of what we think we know about
prayer!<br /><br />I recently heard a story of a Christian man who'd died and, as he
ascended to heaven, he was surrounded by a violent propulsion of lights all
around him. He knew at once these lights were the prayers of those on earth who
had interceded. Their prayers were shot up to heaven in powerful anticipation of
their importance to the heavenly Father. It seemed more to him that they were
fireworks of war than the prayers of the saints.<br /><br />Our Father is
constantly, even ardently, waiting to hear our prayers and react to our call.
Indeed, our simple requests are missiles in the war of the heavenlies and we are
His secret weapon. We are not sending up wishes or hopes, we're sending up
petitions to our loving Father, who's anxiously waiting to hear our requests as
if hearing the council of generals of war. Your prayer instantly activates
movements and strategies in the heavenlies which directly effects the realms of
earth.<br /><br />In our world, we fight under an oppressive cloud of unbelief. Even
many Christians are cynical of miracles and hesitate to credit prayer for the
answer. This is what the enemy wants; it is his primary weapon against the
prayers of the saints. If you've experienced disappointment in prayer in the
past, understand that is also apart of the battle against intercession. We've
entered a new season: the season of the CROSS. It's time to try again... and
even when it looks impossible, <i>believe God </i>for the impossible to become
possible.<br /><br />Father God says: YOUR PRAYERS ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL! You are
the light of the world and My secret weapon. You can move mountains by warring
in the heavenlies for the victory of angels as they fight for
you!<br /><br />Recently, the Lord downloaded to me what He called "three
prayer-wars" that were examples of the wars we are to be waging in the
heavenlies to effect the world we live in.<br /><br /><b>Prayer War in
Acts</b><br />Acts 12 is the first example of what the Father refers to as a
"prayer-war." King Herod Agrippa captured and killed the Apostle James. It so
pleased the Jews, he captured the Apostle Peter as well and held him in prison,
locked in chains between two guards with soldiers stationed at the door. A Band
of Christians heard Peter was in prison and came together to pray in earnest for
his deliverance. They knew what Herod had planned. And as they prayed, the Lord
released an angel into his prison cell to awaken a sleeping Peter, release him
from his shackles and lead him to freedom without the guards even realizing what
transpired. He led him to the very home where the Lord's followers were in
prayer on his behalf.<br /><br />Not only did this tiny, seemingly insignificant
group of intercessors see Peter delivered through their prayers, but shortly
after, King Herod Agrippa was killed by an angel of the Lord and consumed by
worms. So, through their prayer-war, they saw a major victory. For, it was the
murderer who died not the Apostle Peter!<br /><br />Do you see the power of a small
group of prayer warriors? They waged war and had tremendous
victory!<br /><br /><b>Seven Days That Changed The World - The Prayer-Wars of
WW2</b><br />In April of 1940, the allied forces of France, Britain, and other
Allied forces were unprepared for the battles they fought in the beginning of
the war and were outmaneuvered by the Axis powers. Forced to retreat, the German
army pushed these young boys back until their backs were against the English
Channel. With no foreseeable place for them to go, Churchill prepared to
announce that a third of a million soldiers had been captured by the German
forces.<br /><br />On May 26th England's King George the Sixth called for the<i>
first day of national prayer </i>and Britain devoted itself to prayer in an
unprecedented way. Photos show long lines waiting to get into packed houses of
worship to prayer all over the country.<br /><br />As a result, an urgent call went
out for boats of all shapes and sizes to cross the English channel to rescue the
besieged army. Over 800 vessels were the answer to the call. And, astonishingly,
Hitler, for no conceivable reason, ordered the German army to halt, and for
three days the Germans stood idle. Had they continued their pursuit against the
Allies, it would have most assuredly been a tremendous victory for them.
Futhermore, a violent storm rose over the region, grounding the German fighter
planes that had been killing thousands on the beaches. And just like that a
"great calm descended on the Channel, the like of which hadn't been seen for a
generation" allowing the famous miracle evacuation to take place.<br /><br />The
Allies thought they would be fortunate to rescue 25,000 British soldiers, but by
the time the Nazis were ordered to renew their attack, 338,000 soldiers were
rescued off the beaches of Dunkirk. Churchill called it a miracle and truly it
was. But we also know it was the victorious result of a war in the heavenlies
fought by the saints on their knees calling out to the heavenly
Father.<br /><br /><i>The second day of prayer </i>was called on August 11, 1940 as
German Field Marshal Goering commenced the first stage of his Battle of Britain
with German fighter planes being released to attack the British Isle. Yet, only
a small group of British fighter pilots shot down around 180 well-trained Nazi
Bombers at a rate that could not be explained by Radar Air Command, prompting
Churchill's famous quote, "Never have so many owed so much to so few"<br /><br />On
September 8, 1940,<i> the third day of prayer</i> from the nation led to
angels-sightings in the sky over Britain. Even though the Germans sent 5 fighter
planes with every single bomber during the next weeks of raids, they still lost
185 planes to the British who incurred relatively small losses. German General
Goering prepared invasion barges, but a great storm rose up and blew them away.
The Nazi invasion of Britain was postponed, giving the Allies more time to arm
themselves.<br /><br />On March 23, 1941, no one knew Hitler had planned to attempt
another invasion of Britain, yet faithful King George called again for a <i>4th
national day of prayer</i>. Soon after, a great earthquake created waves with
terrifying gales which blew the Germans' ships 80 miles off course. Yugoslavia,
which had surrendered to Hitler, changed its mind that same week and began
organizing a resistance against him. Ethiopia was liberated from the Axis leader
Mussolini. The Italian Navy lost many cruisers and destroyers as they fought the
British Navy in the Mediterranean who in turn suffered no damage and lost no
men. As a result of the submarine earthquake, Hitler <i>suddenly changed his
mind entirely </i>and<b> gave up his plans to invade Britain and decided to
attack Russian instead against the council of all of his advisers!
</b><br /><br />On the anniversary of the war, the King called for the <i>5th day of
prayer </i>on September 3, 1942. The next day at Palermo, the entire Italian
fleet was sunk in the Mediterranean. And the next month the 8th army saved Egypt
(and subsequently the land of Israel) from being invaded by
Hitler. <br /><br />The<i> 6th day</i> was called on September 3, 1943 for the
fourth anniversary of the war. That same night Italy surrendered to the
allies.<br /><br />In the Spring of 1944, as the time for the d-day invasion
approached, King George called for the <i>7th time</i> for the nation to pray.
And General Dwight Eisenhower said, "If there was nothing else in my life to
prove the existence of an Almighty and Merciful God, the events of the next
twenty-four hours did it."<br /><br /><a href="http://go.netatlantic.com/t/28493001/251373801/472142/77/" target="_blank">http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/life/Miracles__Angels/39906/p1/</a>

Prayer War </b><br />In the fall of 2012, the Lord showed me the intentions of a
group of world leaders who would attempt to gain control of America and use it
to terrorize the world. They knew that, without control of America, they would
never succeed in their one world government.<br /><br />I was heart sick as the Lord
showed me their plans. But tenderly He told me He could not yet promise they
would be unable to accomplish their plans. Indeed, He said their victory would
depend on the reaction of the <i>Light of the World</i> - the church. Yet, He
promised that if we would fight for our world, He would save it. This war is not
a war about politics. We are not at war with each other. We are at war with the
same principalities that have attempted to conquer us from the very
beginning.<br /><br />I cried out to Him, "Lord, what can we do?"<br /><br />He said,
"If My church will not fight them, who will?"<br /><br />Suddenly, I realized how
the enemy had tried desperately to keep us fighting one another, so we wouldn't
come after him, and how he'd tried to keep our prayer focused on the symptoms of
sin rather than the cure to sin - <i>Jesus Christ.</i> All in an attempt to keep
us from fulfilling 2 Chronicles 7:14, "Then if My people who are called by My
name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked
ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and RESTORE THEIR
LAND."<br /><br />Since that time, I've seen many, many prayer movements rise up all
over the world for America and truly, we need it! One prayer call was Azuza Now
2016, which brought 120,000 prayer warriors together to pray for the promise of
Azuza, as prophesied separately by William J. Seymour and Maria Woodworth-Etter
in 1913, that the Holy Spirit would be poured out again 100 years after the
Azuza Street Revival, and it would an even more powerful outpouring than
before.<br /><br />Indeed, if we think for one minute that our victory in prayer was
for the outcome of an election, we are misdirected. Our prayer war cannot be for
anything less than the awakening from the Lord that was promised: <b>For the
Church to become the vessel of the Lord and carry mercy and love to the lost.
</b><br /><br />Our war has not been won, for truly, it has just begun. We need
Jesus! He is our ONLY HOPE! We're not fighting a political war, but a spiritual
war for the souls of mankind and for the hope of the world. We must continue to
fight with 2 Chronicles 7:14 and contend for the promise of the Holy Spirit as
they did at Pentecost!<br /><br /><b>The Father says to His children,</b> "Let this
be said of your generation HERE and NOW: 'Then they cried to the LORD in their
trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were
quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven,' (Psalm
107:28-30)"<br /><br />"Your response to the Chaos around you should be:<i> <b>'do
not be anxious </b>about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.'</i> (Philippians 4:6-7)."<br /><br />"For surely, If you ask anything
in My Son's name, I cannot turn away from you. Seek Me, turn away from sin and
carnality and EMBRACE ME! Lock yourself away with Me and surrender your heart to
me and I will give you peace even in the midst of chaos. I will be glorified as
you pray in My Son's name and trust Me to hear you.<br /><br />"You are entering a
NEW SEASON, truly, the greatest season mankind will ever experience. I want to
reveal My wonders to you, I want to show Myself glorious through you! Give me
your trust, open your heart and surrender to Me. Together, we will transform the
world!<br /><br /><b>Pray this with me:</b> <i>Father God, I want all that you have
for me. Help me to be everything you need me to me. I surrender my heart and
mind to you and ask you to wash me in your FAITH. Give me the strength of your
JOY and the liberty of HOPE! Forgive my unbelief and saturate me in you so I can
trust you! In Jesus' name, amen. </i></span></span></div>

be scattered, and I say arise, and I said arise! Can you hear me? As you
arise, I will arise too. This is something you must believe, it must go beyond
words alone. Here Me, too many times you are crying out the same thing over and
over again but you must step over with those words, "I will arise". You are
warriors, and warriors do not give in to defeat, warriors are not quitters,
warriors fight when the times get hard, warriors keep moving regardless of what
they see, warriors are determined to win. I say to you as I arise in your life
that I will carry over you a battle sign of victory and I will decree over you
the victor in this battle, as long as if you do not quit! If you continue on
says the Lord, you will win, the enemy fears your faith and the words of your
heart mixed together. For the battle is not for the weak and the timid, but the
battle is given to My bold ones says the Lord, for I have anointed you with My
fresh anointing to be able to stand in the midst of whatever is going on to
bring peace in the midst of chaos. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #6000bf;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523002854995_6657"> As you sing victory you will come
closer still. Remember the woman with the issue of blood, for 12 years she she
did everything known to get her help. She never gave up, and one day her words
and her faith brought her deliverance. If you remain, stay in hope, hold on and
grasp victory, no matter what it looks like, it may seem a long ways off but
your faith will will bring your deliverance, aid and help. Remember the prophet
standing on the mountain and the hand of God that was bringing rain seemed such
a long way off but it got closer still, as he decreed and declared his faith,
something happened in the supernatural to bring a suddenly. If you decree,
declare, and prophesy over your life there will come a suddenly. Do not give
up, do not quit, do not lose hope, stay focused on the victory, for the victory
is inevitable to those who believe. Victory is coming to you. It may seems so
small that you can barely see it, but it is getting stronger as your words stay
filled with faith. It is something that belongs to you because you have stood
and withstood to the enemy and you have stood on My word. So victory is your
says the Lord and it does not matter what it looks like, what it feels like.
All that I hear is your cry of faith of victory. I will respond says the Lord,
I can not help but respond when I hear the sound of faith coming through the
atmosphere, I am responding even now. I Am sending forth My ministering angels
to go throughout the land to bring it to pass for you because I see faith and I
respond to faith says the Lord. No matter how small it is, I respond says the
Lord. As I hear your faith cry it comes closer and closer to My heart says the
Lord and it excites Me to have My people declaring. They see My word, they see
My face and they understand that it belongs to them. Begin to sing over your
life, a consistent sustained song, sing every day of the week that victory is
yours. Victors say I am not looking at what I see, I am only looking at the
word of God which is consistent and faithful, it is trustworthy, it is
dependable and I can trust and be built upon that rock that never moves, that
foundation that never decreases, I can depend on Him</span>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>My people, the day is coming very soon when you will be forced to
choose between your faith in Me and your daily necessities – the very food you
eat, the shelter you live in. Remember when this day arrives, I am all you need.
I am able to provide a roof over your head when there is no roof. I am able to
bring food out of nothing. I have done it for My people before, and I can do it
now. I can sustain you every minute of your life when you walk through total
desolation.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Cling, therefore, to your faith in Me and do not
worry for what you will eat or what you will wear. Be sure now while there is
time that you are storing up oil as the wise virgins. Be sure that you are
spending time to get to know Me. If you redeem the time left to you now, you
will not lack then. This is the only way. All those who do not know Me will do
without in that time, or they will trade their souls for what they eat. Each
person will make this choice.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a series of stories in the news
recently that show how the Ezekiel 38 prophecy of a coalition headed by a leader
from modern Turkey brings a host of enemies against Israel in a colossal end
time battle in which God saves Israel and declares in Ezekiel 38:23, "Thus will
I magnify myself and sanctify myself: and I will be known in the eyes of many
nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord." Currently, Turkey, Saudi
Arabia, the "Palestinians" in Israel, Israel, and Iran are all locked into a
curious mix of politics, military effort and intrigue that is whirling around
the Middle East and gathering the end time players together like the building of
a prophetic storm on the horizon.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Turkey's dictator Racep Tayyip Erdogan is making a move in Syria to
destroy the Kurd fighters who are a mainstay against the Islamic State. Many
believe that Erdogan wants to eliminate the Kurds in general and do a land grab
along the Syrian border. At the same time, Turkey and Russia are collaborating
on the building of a Russian-made nuclear power plant on Turkey's Mediterranean
coast. In addition, Turkey has agreed to purchase Russia's long-range S-400
missile system and the two countries are building a pipeline to transport
Russian gas to Turkey. AP reports that Russian "president" Vladimir Putin,
Erdogan and Iranian "president" Hassan Rouhani are expected to hold a summit in
Ankara to discuss Syria's future. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stirred
the prophetic pot by speaking out of both sides of his mouth. The Atlantic
reports that bin Salman said that Israel has a right to exist as a nation. What
bin Salman really said, however, was, "I believe that each people, anywhere, has
a right to live in their peaceful nation. I believe the Palestinians and the
Israelis have the right to have their own land." This is a dualist statement in
that the Palestinians claim all the land in Israel. He also said that Islam was
a religion of peace and that the "triangle of evil": Iran, the Muslim
Brotherhood and Sunni terrorist groups (ISIS and al-Qaeda) were seeking world
conquest. He didn't mention that Saudi Arabia was the birthplace of al-Qaeda,
and supports the Muslim Brotherhood. He also denied that Wahhabism
exists.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saudi Arabia does not recognize Israel as a nation. The Saudi Crown
Prince does not recognize Wahhabism, a radical evangelical sect of Islam
originating from Saudi Arabia. The Crown Prince recognizes the Muslim
Brotherhood and al-Qaeda as an evil triangle with Iran, but fails to mention
that Saudi Arabia is known to support these terrorist groups. Iran and Turkey
are working together with Russia as a unifier. We can see how eventually the
diverse forces of Ezekiel 38 can be brought together to fight against Israel,
which includes modern day Turkey, Iran, Sudan, Libya and even parts of Saudi
Arabia. What appears to be isn't and what is secret is brewing a prophetic storm
on the horizon.</span></div>

<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<em><span style="font-size: large;">"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."</span></em></div>
<span class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I Corinthians 15:19</span></span><br />
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<em><span style="font-size: large;">"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."</span></em></div>
<span class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">II Peter 3:10-13</span></span><br />
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<em><span style="font-size: large;">"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."</span></em></div>
<span class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">John 5:24</span></span><br />
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will thoughtfully consider the endeavors of mankind in the present and future and the ultimate conclusion of time that is coming. The men and women who inhabit this world understand that our time on planet Earth is limited. Attention to this very fact is drawn in James 4:14 which tells us,<em>"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."</em> Scriptures also tell us that the world itself will one day grow old and wear out. Isaiah 51:6 tells us, <em>"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished."</em> As Christians we know that, yes, this world will come to an end someday, but we have the promise of God's unending salvation.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are others, however, who have not embraced the glorious promises of God and the assurance of everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. These include men and women who are considered to have the most brilliant minds of all humanity. Such was the case with the world famous physicist Stephen Hawking who passed away on March 14, 2018, at the age of 76. Hawking, who was confined to a wheelchair because he suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is commonly known as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, was well-known for his teachings on evolution, black holes, and the theory of relativity. He also vehemently opposed the existence of an intelligent God. <em>"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There's no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark,"</em> Hawking once said. (1) Despite his atheistic views, Hawking did seem to have a fascination with the end of the world. According to a report by <em>CNBC</em>, Hawking's final paper, which is currently under review, is entitled "A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation" and predicts the end of the universe. (2) The report also notes that Hawking had previously predicted that Planet Earth would become a "giant ball of fire" by the year 2600. (3) This prediction may not be far off. In II Peter 3:10 we find the words of the Apostle Peter which declare, <em>"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."</em></span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is apparent that the scientific community understands that our world's days are numbered. As such, in what is a futile attempt to outsmart God, plans are now being made to colonize space and other planets. <em>National Geographic</em> published a story on March 3, 2018, with a headline that states, <em>"There's Only One Way for Humanity to Survive. Go to Mars."</em> The story features an interview with scientist Michio Kaku who has written a new book entitled "The Future of Humanity." In this book the author pointedly declares, <em>"Either we must leave the Earth or we will perish."</em> (4) Considering this belief that the world is doomed, it is not surprising that Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla Motors and the space exploration company known as SpaceX, is now readying a rocket that he claims will soon be able to travel to Mars. The space vehicle is supposed to be completed by 2019, and plans are underway to send a cargo mission to Mars by the year 2022. <em>"We are building the first ship, the first Mars or interplanetary ship right now and I think we'll be able to do short flights, short up and down flights, probably in the first half of next year,"</em> Musk said at the South by Southwest conference in March 2018. (5) Musk also told his audience that the first humans who endeavor to travel to Mars will likely die. <em>"For the early people that go to Mars, it will be far more dangerous… It's difficult, dangerous, good chance you'll die, excitement for those who survive,"</em> declared Musk. (6) Additionally, American President Donald Trump floated the idea of establishing a new military branch known as the "Space Force." <em>"Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea. We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. We have the Air Force, we'll have the Space Force,"</em> Trump suggested. (7)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In I Corinthians 15:19 the Apostle Paul writes, <em>"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."</em> Indeed, I would truly feel miserable if I thought this present life is all that we will ever have. Yet, I know that the hope of mankind is not a new home in outer space, nor is it a colony on Mars. Rather, our hope is in Jesus Christ. In John 5:24 our Saviour tells us, <em>"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."</em> I urge every reader of this newsletter to put your hope, trust, and faith in God. If you have not yet repented of your sins and dedicated your life to Him, I urge you to do so now.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">A Tale Of Two Bombers</span></strong></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For those who follow news headlines, it is obvious that we live in a dangerous world. There is peril on every continent, and yet, when faced with dangers up close and personal, it is a rather shocking experience. The city of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, a place that I have called home for more than thirty years, is described by our Chamber of Commerce as a "picturesque community" surrounded by lush farmland and a tranquil lake. Looks can be deceiving, however.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On March 5, 2018, the city of Beaver Dam was rocked by an unexpected explosion at an apartment complex. It was later revealed that the occupant of the apartment who perished in the explosion, had been making numerous bombs. <em>"It appears to look like he was making bombs because of the explosion,"</em> said Beaver Dam Police Chief John Kreuziger. (8) Upon investigation it was discovered that a large amount of explosive material remained in the building and would require drastic action to neutralize. <em>"These materials are so sensitive they cannot be handled and cannot be removed [from the] affected apartment unit,"</em> Kreuziger reported. (9) Enlisting help from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, a plan was devised to detonate the remaining explosives on March 7, 2018. (10) However, the controlled detonation failed to eliminate all of the explosives, and a state of emergency was declared. It was quickly determined that the entire apartment building would have to be destroyed, and residents were told they would lose most of their possessions. (11) On March 15, 2018, with volunteers from more than twenty fire departments on hand, the building was set ablaze and consumed within hours. <em>"The fire burned hot enough to accomplish what we need to do. The FBI bomb squad and chemist have confirmed that no explosive materials remain on site,"</em> said Beaver Dam Fire Chief Alan Mannel. (12)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The explosives maker was later revealed to be 28-year-old Benjamin Morrow. (13) He appeared to be a normal young man who had been homeschooled and later attended a Christian college in Florida. His motivation for making these explosives is completely unknown, and many lingering questions remain. Just what did he intend to do with these bombs? We can only wonder what plans were interrupted, but it could very well be that it was a divine act of protection that there were no further injuries. We thank God that our friends, family, and the people of this city were kept safe.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oddly enough, even as Benjamin Morrow toiled in his apartment with his deadly explosives, another young man was terrorizing the city of Austin, Texas, with homemade explosive devices. On March 2, 2018, a 39-year-old man was killed by a package bomb that had been left on his porch. Ten days later, a 17-year-old boy was killed by another package bomb that also injured his mother. On the same day, a 75-year-old woman sustained injuries from another bomb. Two bicyclists were injured when a bomb utilizing a tripwire was set off on March 18, 2018. The next day, a package exploded at a Fedex facility near San Antonio, Texas. (14) As more than 500 law enforcement personnel hunted for the person responsible for these senseless acts of violence, questions swirled about who might be responsible. <em>"My mind was racing this morning. Is it a former oil-field worker that's extremely familiar with explosive devices? Is it a former military EOD (explosive ordinance disposal)? Former fire/police officer that's got training in bombs?"</em> wondered Clint McNair, a former detective from Garland, Texas. (15) On March 21, 2018, authorities revealed that the suspect believed to be responsible for the bombings blew himself up in his car while being pursued by the police. The suspect, we have been told, is Mark Anthony Conditt, a 23-year-old man from Pflugerville, Texas. Those who knew him were shocked to learn of the allegations against him, and one neighbor described him as "smart" and "polite." (16) What is causing these seemingly normal young men to become killers? Is it mind control? Is it demonic influence? One thing is certain: our world is fraught with danger, and the devil will use anyone he can to wreak havoc.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">A Call For A Revolution</span></strong></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you ever need an example of how fractured the United States of America is today, simply bring up the topic of gun control in a room full of strangers. There are many Americans who affirm their right to bear arms in accordance with the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, and there are others actively seeking to establish new gun control regulations. There is great animosity between the two sides, and in recent weeks, the rift between them has grown more pronounced.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On February 28, 2018, American President Donald Trump offered his opinions on the topic at a meeting with American lawmakers. <em>"We can't wait and play games and nothing gets done. We want to stop the problems,"</em> Trump declared. At this same meeting, President Trump publicly accused Republican Senator Pat Toomey from Pennsylvania of being afraid of the National Rifle Association, or NRA. (17) In his most surprising statement, Trump stated that guns should be taken away from anyone deemed to be dangerous without due process. <em>"Take the guns first, go through due process second,"</em> he said. The entity responsible for deciding who is too dangerous to own a gun was not specified. His other proposals include new legislation that would expand background checks for individuals buying firearms and raising the age at which Americans could legally purchase such weapons to 21 years old. (18)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As is the case with most controversial issues nowadays, the topic of gun control has led to protests and rallies all over the United States. Many of the protestors are America's youth. Among them, Parkland, Florida, school student David Hogg has emerged as a leader of the protest movement. Sadly, he has shown himself to be a foul-mouthed individual with no respect for older generations. <em>"When your old (expletive) parent is like, 'I don't know how to send an iMessage' and you're just like, 'Give me the (expletive) phone and let me handle it.' Sadly, that's what we have to do with our government; our parents don't know how to use a (expletive) democracy so we have to,"</em> Hogg said in an interview. (19) The hatred and disdain evident in his words are astonishing.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On March 24, 2018, Hogg gave a rousing speech at the March for Our Lives Rally in Washington, D.C. His speech was surprisingly eloquent given the nature of his profanity-laced tirade mentioned above. He is either a remarkable speechwriter or someone wrote the speech for him. <em>"The cold grasp of corruption shackles the District of Columbia. The winter is over. Change is here. The sun shines on a new day and the day is ours. First-time voters show up 18% of the time in midterm elections? Not anymore. Who here is going to vote in the 2018 election? If you listen real close you can hear the people in power shaking,"</em> Hogg declared. In one notable moment, the young orator defiantly raised a clenched fist in a manner reminiscent of the communist salute. Hogg also appeared on the television program "Good Morning America" and stated rather matter-of-factly, <em>"Today we are going to start a revolution."</em> He then went on to say, <em>"We will change America with or without these politicians."</em> (20)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although Mr. Hogg and many other protestors will say that they have no interest in abolishing the Second Amendment, on occasion the real agenda does become evident. Another speaker at the March for Our Lives was the 9-year-old granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr. At this event Yolanda Renee King, who was almost certainly coached, told the crowd, <em>"I have a dream that enough is enough. That this should be a gun-free world. Period."</em> (21) Whoever told this little girl to say these words obviously seeks a total disarmament of the people.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we continue to hear calls for stricter gun control measures, it should be noted that gun laws already exist in this country. For example, background checks are usually performed when someone buys a gun and convicted felons are prohibited from owning firearms. Could more rules be put in place? Certainly. Would criminals abide by these rules? Certainly not. If the government ever decides to confiscate all firearms from the American people, there are many who would likely not give up their weapons without a fight. Thus, a gun-grab could easily start a war. There could be exceedingly dangerous days ahead.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The Hyper-Invasive Nature Of Technology</span></strong></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a time in this country when the American people valued privacy. Future generations, however, may never have a private moment as the world becomes increasingly open and connected thanks to new advances in technology. Companies such as Facebook and Google now collect extraordinary amounts of data regarding their users, and the things they know about people are truly amazing. A report published by <em>TechCrunch</em> on March 23, 2018, puts it bluntly. <em>"Facebook knows literally everything about you,"</em> the headline declares. The article goes on to detail how Facebook not only saves every thought and picture you share and every message you send while on their website, but they also track other websites you visit, too. Additionally, if you use Facebook's service on your smartphone, there is a good chance they are collecting information about every message you send, every phone call you make, and the names and numbers of your contacts. (22)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In another development, Google has released a new "smart camera" called Clips. This device is placed in the user's home and is constantly watching all activity within its vicinity. The camera, which costs about $250, then uses artificial intelligence to capture candid moments of your family and pets and whatever else might be happening around you. (23) Not only is technology becoming more invasive, but users are voluntarily placing these devices in their homes.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Google already has the ability to track the movements and whereabouts of smartphone users who use the operating system known as Android. In fact, it was revealed in March 2018 that the police department in Raleigh, North Carolina, presented Google with a warrant demanding information about every smartphone user within a specific seventeen acre area. (24) Google has also partnered with the United States Department of Defense to develop artificial intelligence for use with drones. The program, which is called "Project Maven," allows drones to accurately detect and identify objects in thirty-eight categories while also tracking the movements of individuals. (25) Thus, Google has become a de-facto extension of the American government.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The Robots Have Arrived</span></strong></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In recent years we have been told repeatedly that the robots are coming. It seems that they have now arrived. In fact, you might see robots roaming the aisles at Walmart shopping centers very soon. These new robots are six feet tall and equipped with a variety of cameras and sensors tasked with monitoring the inventory on the shelves and checking price tags. Using artificial intelligence, these sophisticated robots can scan an entire aisle in about ninety seconds and are smart enough to avoid collisions with objects or people. <em>"We boxed it in with four TV cameras earlier and it made a decision on the fly as to how to figure out a way around so that it could carry on with its job. That's the most rewarding thing, when it successfully navigates a really complex and dynamic space and just gets on with the job. It's unobtrusive, it just carries on,"</em> gushed Martin Hitch, the chief business officer at the robot's manufacturer, Bossanova. (26) Walmart is currently testing these robots at fifty stores in the United States. (27)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, a fast food restaurant in Pasadena, California, has installed a new robot they call "Flippy." Using thermal imaging and camera vision, Flippy is tasked with cooking hamburgers and cleaning the grill. <em>"It detects the temperature of the patty, the size of the patty, and the temperature of the grilling surface,"</em> explained David Zito, the chief executive officer at Miso Robotics. Zito was also quoted as saying, <em>"The kitchen of the future will always have people in it, but we see that kitchen as having people and robots."</em> (28)</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even as robots wander about in Walmart, more and more driverless cars are beginning to populate American roadways. However, it is no longer just passenger cars that are being fully automated. A company known as Waymo, which is owned by Alphabet Inc., is now testing driverless freight trucks in Atlanta, Georgia. (29) This development is likely to cause anxiety amongst American truck drivers who could eventually be deemed unnecessary once the technology is perfected. More concerning is the potential for devastating accidents. Although automakers insist that driverless vehicles are perfectly safe and will ultimately reduce traffic fatalities, a recent accident in Tempe, Arizona, is challenging the validity of these claims. On March 18, 2018, a driverless car, owned by the ride hailing company known as Uber, struck and fatally injured a 49-year-old woman. In response, Uber halted all further testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads and issued a statement saying, <em>"Our hearts go out to the victim's family. We are fully cooperating with local authorities in their investigation of this incident."</em> (30) Despite the accident, plans are still underway for more driverless cars to be deployed. General Motors is hoping to launch a robot taxi service next year. (31) Additionally, Waymo has reached a deal with Jaguar to produce 20,000 driverless cars. The vehicles will be unleashed on American roads in about four years. (32) Ready or not, here they come!</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In February 2018 former Google executive Eric Schmidt attempted to assuage fears regarding the dangers of robots and artificial intelligence. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Schmidt was quoted as saying, <em>"Everyone immediately then wants to talk about all the movie-inspired death scenarios, and I can confidently predict to you that they are one to two decades away. So let's worry about them, but let's worry about them in a while."</em> If Schmidt was trying to make people feel safer, he did not do a very good job. He further went on to say, <em>"The other point that I want to remind everyone, these technologies [artificial intelligence] have serious errors in them and they should not be used with life-critical decisions. So I would not want to be in an airplane where the computer was making all the general intelligence decisions about flying it. The technology is just not reliable enough - there [are] too many errors in its use. It is advisory, it makes you smarter and so forth, but I wouldn't put it in charge of command and control."</em> (33) Considering this statement, is it really such a good idea to put driverless cars and trucks on public roads?</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In closing, it has become evident that there are constricting forces at work in this world. In recent weeks the social networking website known as Facebook and the video sharing website known as YouTube have greatly increased censorship efforts. According to a report by <em>Bloomberg News</em>, Google has hired 10,000 new moderators to police YouTube content, and they are actively removing thousands of videos on the website. According to a YouTube representative, some of these deletions were an error. <em>"As we work to hire rapidly and ramp up our policy enforcement teams throughout 2018, newer members may misapply some of our policies resulting in mistaken removals,"</em> a YouTube spokeswoman said. (34) Nevertheless, this trend could be an indicator of things to come, and it could become increasingly difficult to publish content online.</span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we grow ever closer to the return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, there is a great spiritual darkness in this world, but the light of God will shine on. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:14-16, <em>"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."</em></span></div>
<div class="auto-style1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you all for your kind support of this ministry. If you have any prayer requests, great or small, you are invited to send them our way. Our team of intercessors always give each prayer request individual attention. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.</span></div>

the spirit this morning, I kept seeing a dark foreboding sky whenever I prayed
and asked the Lord for a word for us. I did not know what it meant, but it
looked like the dark skies you see in Tornado Alley whenever an area is under
tornado warning. You know death lurks in the darkness hovering silently above
and your respect for its sudden destructive power spurs you to action if you are
in the warning zone.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>My children, make your final preparations now and
have them ready. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">NOTE:
I saw in my spirit those are preparations for leaving the earth – have your
affairs in order and whatever you would do if you knew you did not have long on
the earth – do it now. Be ready to go on any given day. If you know you’re going
on a trip, you get everything ready. He is saying Get everything ready, so you
are ready to go. Then you don’t have to think about that any more, and you can
focus on Him.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>A storm approaches America and much darkness
abounds within it. Events will terrorize its people, and will spur many to give
their hearts to Me. My desire is the lost would turn to Me in this time and not
perish, and I am giving opportunities that they may do that.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Be ready to be called home at any time, that your
focus may be solely on Me in this time. If your preparations are complete, you
will not be concerned for the things of the world.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Set your face to pray now for those who do not
know Me. I will greatly reward those who spend precious hours in intercession
and it gladdens My heart when I see you do this. I came to save them, but so few
care if they get saved. Intercede and receive My blessings!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This is not a time to fear, but a time of
readiness. You know what is approaching, for I have shown you in your spirit. Do
not be as the unwise virgins, but prepare as the wise ones and be glad, for soon
the door will be shut and those unprepared will be left without.</span></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Battle is part of the Christian life.</span> There is a real enemy and you were born into a war. So seasons of struggle are a given.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">But can you shorten your seasons of struggle?</span> I believe you can, and I believe that the Bible is filled with good advice toward this end. You do not need to prolong the agony. You can arise and conquer.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the enemy’s ploys is to make you roll over into a passive position. When that happens, you are no longer actively engaged and the devil can roll over you. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">It is important to daily arise, speak to your inner man and remind yourself of the foundational truths in the Word of God! As you rise up, these truths become weapons that drive the enemy back and make quick work of the battle.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even if you have been through a few skirmishes before, you can’t just slide into automatic pilot. It is vital to use your most effective weapons, ones that are tried and tested. These are weapons that work—but you must work them. Did you catch that? For the weapons to work, YOU must work THEM!</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Jesus’ work on the cross is perfect and complete, but you are called to enforce of victory of Calvary in your own life.</span>Sometimes you must DO. You cannot just passively “slip and slide”. Passivity leads only to one place: the downward spiral of darkness. Instead, put on your spiritual armor and dress yourself for battle.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: large;">So let’s take a look at 7 foundational truths, the weapons of our warfare, that we must remember and apply.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Antic Slab"; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seven Effective Spiritual Weapons</span></span></h3>
<ol style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">You Must Know and Speak the Word.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I cannot emphasize enough the power and efficacy of Scripture. As Jesus did in the midst of his wilderness temptation, you must know and speak the Word of God. Not only will the Word put a stop to the enemy’s lies, but it will also build you up so that you can stand firm. Here are a couple of words from the Word about the effectiveness of the Word:</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”</em> 2 Timothy 2:15, NIV</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”</em> 2 Timothy 3:16-17, NASB</span></div>
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Your Conversations Must Reflect the Mentality of a Conqueror.</span>Let the Holy Spirit and the Word permeate your mind and heart so that your conversations reflect the mentality of a conqueror. This gives new meaning to the proverb, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit”</em> (Proverbs 18:21).</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">You Must Take the Authority Over Satan in the Name of Jesus.</span>Always remember the power of the name of the Lord. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong”</em>(Proverbs 18:10, AMPLIFIED). Declare his name, loudly or quietly, and expect your enemy to fall back:</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Therefore God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.”</em> Philippians 2:9-10</span></div>
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">You Must By Faith Clothe Yourself with God’s Spiritual Armor.</span>Day after day, clothe yourself by faith with God’s spiritual armor: <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]” </em>(Ephesians 6:13, AMP).</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Never take your armor off. When you do, you allow yourself to get bombarded by the wicked thoughts of defeat. Keep the sword of the Spirit in your Hand and the Helment of Hope of Salvation upon your head. Always have your shield of faith ready to extinguish the fiery darts of the evil one.</span></div>
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">You Must Tap into the Power of Prayer and Fasting.</span>Do not forget to tap into the power of prayer. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much” </em>(James 5:16b, NASB). Fasting adds power to your prayers:</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Is this not the fast which I choose,</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">To loosen the bonds of wickedness,</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">To undo the bands of the yoke,</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">And to let the oppressed go free</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">And break every yoke?”</em> Isaiah 58:6, NASB</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Get others involved in the praying. Call your believing friends and ask them to pray for you. Never underestimate the extra power of a prayer of agreement:</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.”</em> Matthew 18:18-19, NIV</span></div>
</div>
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Keep the High Declaring the Praises of God!</span>Keep praising God through everything. Not only does praise express and build up your faith, but it also creates a climate that Satan cannot tolerate. What a wonderful weapon for bringing light into darkness! Remember how a few psalms played on a little harp drove the evil spirit away from King Saul:</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him” </em>(1 Samuel 16:23, NASB).</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So keep on Praising the Lord!Praise will turn your prison cell into a place of triumph. Remember, it is the High Praises of God that bind the powers of Darkness (See Psalm 149).</span></div>
</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">You Must Draw Forth the Wisdom of God’s Spiritual Veterans.</span>Honor the veterans of spiritual battles and learn from their successes and failures. Sometimes you will have “vets” nearby who can mentor you. Other times, you will need to resort to good books and helpful messages from people far away, many of whom will have gone home to their reward years before you were born. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel” </em>(Proverbs 1:5, NASB).</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take it from this veteran, you <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">must </em>learn when to rest and not directly engage the enemy. The devil will always work to wear down the saints (see Daniel 7:25), and the spirit of the antichrist comes to do the same (see 1 John 4:3). Therefore, seek wisdom for your warring and learn to rest, both spiritually and physically.</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Antic Slab"; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: large;">Powerful Warfare Scriptures</span></span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember that you are fighting an unseen enemy who is behind all of the opposition that you can see and feel (see Ephesians 6:12). You have the authority of the One who called you, who said,</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven. Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.”</em> Luke 10:18–20, AMP</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">The body of Jesus Christ tramples on every enemy, enforcing the victory of Calvary. This battle is part of our birthright.</span> However, as the Lord said, we are not supposed to rejoice merely because evil spirits must leave when we say so, but because we are being prepared for a heavenly destination. He wants us to have his perspective.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He wants us to remember that, although we will have to suffer the sting of the enemy’s wrath (as he himself did) it will not last forever. We can be glad about that! <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time” </em>(Revelation 12:12, NASB).</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The devil and his minions are filled with terror. Although they are not omniscient, omnipotent or omni-anything, they do know that their time is short, and this knowledge increases their wrath. They are trying to wreak as much carnage as possible before the final curtain goes down. This can help us as soldiers in God’s army. We can adopt an attitude that says, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Satan, you may have inflicted some wounds on me, but you do not have the final word. I’ve seen the end of the book, and I know you will lose.”</em></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Every skirmish has the same ultimate outcome—victory in Jesus!</span> The last words of Jesus on the cross must be the last words in our mouth and heart, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“It Is Finished!”</em></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, don’t prolong your inevitable battles, use the foundational truths in the Word of God—the weapons of your warfare—and keep the enemy on his toes!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Many of us
have transitioned out of a season where things that we thought were permanent
and significant began to perish. So that the things which would remain could be
renewed. In that renewal those things would be strengthened and preserved. This
allowed for greater levels of growth and maturity. Now there is a sharp
finetuning concerning who we are and what have been prepared to do. Protect that
which is sprung forth as new in this hour. For it’s very strength lies in the
fact it has been hidden until the time appointed. That new life had to be
covered in deep intercession until it’s time of delivery. This course of
refining has laid before us a clearer more precise defining. New strength and
enlightenment will accompany us along with thorough downloads for
implementation.<br /><br />In the season prior, we have received training on how to
walk in the dark. (Provers 1:6) Being literally held together by the dark
sayings of Wisdom found the Word of God. We are light. As we walk in the light
and speak light in the midst of that which tries to oppose us, the darkness will
not be able to consume us. As we remain before the Lord so we that we may see
His face lighten upon us. The lines of delineation have been drawn in the sand
so that we would be realigned in proper positioning according to our purpose.
Doors of deception are being closed off and fresh revelation is providing new
entry ways. If we allow the wind of the Lord’s breath continually blow upon us
it will move us into that which has been prepared before the foundations of
time.<br /><br /><strong>To those who feel like you have been through
hell….</strong><br />You may have felt like you walked through some Hell-ish
situations but, now you have definition on what is and what isn’t. You were
overcoming even while you were placed in protective care (custody of the Lord).
Your safe house was in the secret place and even when you were overlooked it was
for your own protection. Give Praise and Honor unto the Lord your God because He
has kept you and sustained you. You will not look like you have been in the
fiery furnace of affliction because there will only be a slight trail of smoke.
Nor will you look as though you’ve come thru the raging waters but others will
look at you and see the moisture of dew upon your face. For the Lord God
Almighty has watched over you and have preserved you so that you may help others
to come out of where you just came from and cross over.<br /><br /><strong>2
Corinthians 4:16 (KJV)</strong> “For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”<br /><br /><strong>2
Corinthians 4:17-18 (ESV)</strong> “For this light momentary affliction is
preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look
not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the
things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are
eternal.”<br /><br /><strong>Isaiah 43:2 (NASB)</strong> "When you pass through the
waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame
burn you.”</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As we enter the most holy of celebrations, Passover, let us prepare
our hearts, repent from uncleanliness and seek true understanding of our
relationship with God the Father and the Messiah. In a day and age where being
Christian or Jew is looked down upon, even by some Christians and Jews, we need
to have introspect on our mission in life, how that relates to the Lord, and our
position in the world as we come closer to the end of days. This is the week of
Nisan 10 on the Hebrew calendar. During the week, the sacrificial lambs were to
be examined and only the ones found without blemish would be sacrificed on Nisan
14 (Friday this year) before the beginning of Pesach, or Passover.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Passover coincides with the final days of Christ, his
crucifixion, and resurrection. It is the picture of Christ being the true
Passover Lamb, the sacrifice that liberates mankind from sin, as did God free
the Israelites from the bondage in Egypt. The crucifixion of Christ took place
as the Passover lambs were being sacrificed in the temple in Jerusalem. The
Hebrew calendar starts its days from sundown to sundown, making its timing far
different than the Gregorian calendar that we follow. The Pesach sacrifice
(sacrifice of the Passover lambs) needed to be completed before sundown on Nisan
14 (which is Friday on our calendar). The Messiah was nailed to the cross,
suffered, and died before sundown on Nisan 14. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Christ entered Jerusalem on the 10th of Nisan, which is the day that
the devoted Jews were choosing their Passover lambs. This is referenced in
Matthew 21 where the great multitude spread their garments and branches on the
way saying in verse 9, "Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest." Jesus went to the temple and overturned the money
changers, his authority was questioned by the religious leaders, and he gave the
great commandments, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind...and the second one is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." He also sat with his disciples and
taught the chronology of what would happen in the end of days. This is called
the Olivet Discourse. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Christ stated to his disciples in Matthew 26:2, "Ye know that after
two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be
crucified." He then held an early Seder in which he spoke of the wine as his
blood and the bread as his body. The events of the evening followed where Christ
was taken in the garden, brought before the priests who sought a false witness
to put him to death, but as Matthew 26:60 says, "But found none." He was taken
before Pilate who also could find no fault in him, but allowed the people to
decide if he should be crucified. These events follow the examination of the
Passover Lamb who had no blemish. Christ is the true Passover Lamb as stated in
1 Corinthians 5:7, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us," and John 1:29,
"Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the
world."</span></div>
