Last Saturday, JULY 10 – 10000 Warriors Walking for Peace.
This day was a wonderful success because people were praying and believing together for Peace and Prosperity for our cities. Together we asked for the Power of God to be poured out in our Land. I heard reports from around the country of people who gathered together in groups small and large to pray. Here in Logan, we gathered at the council for a Holy Ghost time of fervent prayer and some worship. God graciously gave me a sign that He was with us as we met.
NOW … let’s talk about our nation. Do not let your heart be troubled … believe in me. Jesus
There will always be a lot of noise generated by fear. Voices that give us reasons to be afraid must be filtered through the words of Jesus, who says; “Take Courage”
Almost every day I hear reports about how God is stirring people to pray, which is very good. This tells me that God is calling us to build a highway in the Spirit so that He can come. However, we must be diligent to discern the message in these voices and determine to hear only those that agree with Heaven. God is good, He knows the plans He has for His people, plans for good and not for evil, to give us a future and a HOPE.
When the prophet Ezekiel, was in the Lord’s presence one day, he was carried away, in the Spirit, to a valley. In the valley were bones. They were human bones, dry bones, useless, dead, and long time since they were alive, bones. These bones were good for nothing to the prophet. He wandered among them and confirmed that they were dead men’s bones, in answer to the angels questioning. (Ezekiel 37)
In verse 11, the interpretation begins. These bones are the whole house of Israel, (the people of God). They are saying, “We are doomed, all hope is gone”.
This is the underlying message in some of the voices you may hear. Voices that confirm our inadequacy, remind us of our deadness, our dryness and our history of being so for a long time. But this is stating the obvious and only half of the story and the solution is found in this same vision given to the prophet as a lesson to us today.
The prophetic voice, here from the Word is clear. No amount of talking about the bones will help. We can discern our deadness and diagnose the danger of lying for centuries in a valley, if we enjoy wasting time. We can stay up late worrying about how to dispose of all those bones. We can talk about the valley, the bones or even try to move some of them to make some space for some really ‘alive’ folk, BUT in verse 12 it gives us the solution, do you not perceive it?
… THEREFORE PROPHESY …
Whether the dry bones lie in the valley of your marriage or in the heartland on our nation the answer comes when we give voice to the declarations that come from His Presence. Here are some.
I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.
I will pour out my Spirit. Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
I will restore the years the locusts have eaten. I will multiply your seed. I will give you whatever you ask, in my name. I will be jealous for my land and take pity on my people. I will answer you when you call on me.
When we read in the Word;
If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, turn from their sin, and seek my face, then I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chron 7 v 14
The onus here, is on you and me. Not them, not their sin, their deadness, but mine. Come on people, practice humility, turn away from self righteousness and accept the righteousness of Jesus’ blood as the only antidote for death and prophesy like He taught us;
Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven.
PLEASE GO TO 10000warriors.com and download the new 10 minute prayer, ‘Speaking to the Bones’ . And begin to announce change over your life and together over our nation.
Join with others and begin to prophesy. At 10W, we are worship warriors. This is how I do it. I put on some music that glorifies Him and ushers me into the secret place. I worship Him and empty myself of all anxiety by thanking Him . I bring my personal needs before Him and rest in His love. …THEN, I strap on my armour, Eph 6, and I take out my weapon, (all our 10 minute prayers are based solidly on the Word). Or I just go freestyle and begin to prophesy the intentions of God over my city, over His Bride and into the life of our nation.
Then I thank Him for allowing me to participate in His redemptive plan for the planet. I smile to myself at the wonder of His grace that allows me to co-work with the Holy Spirit, who makes all things new.
Rejoice in the Miracle. What we are now doing is the manifestation of a word that God gave me both privately and publicly. In April of 2009, I was at a conference. I had told no-one but Peter, about my personal encounter with His Spirit, 3 days prior. 3000 people were in the meeting and one of the preachers laid their hand on me and Peter and said, GATHER, GATHER, GATHER, GATHER, GATHER and went on to describe what we now see. This was a wonderful confirmation. First the spiritual, then the natural. Therefore Prophesy!
So, Warriors, well done. We are now heading toward the 10th of the 10th in 2010. Mark your calendar now and begin to inspire those around you, so that on the 10th day of October, all across this nation we will have the biggest prayer meeting ever, spread out like a Holy Spirit blanket over our nation.
