Australia, This is Our Day!

Hello Warriors,

I take a deep breath and say from the bottom of my heart that I hope that the year has begun for you with a glint in your eye and an unwavering belief in the goodness of God.

A special word for those impacted by the floods, my fellow Queenslanders, Northern NSWelshmen, and Victorians, our thoughts and prayers have been constantly about you. Be strong and very courageous; cast your cares upon Him, because He cares for you. I will say this again, if you are in need please contact us, we are family.

Let me remind us of our purpose, tell you the game plan for 2011 and encourage all of you, my friends and fellow pilgrims to continue to stir the warrior in yourself, others and the greater body.

We are born for a Cause; but we do not wrestle against flesh and blood ever, but against principalities and powers, hosts of wickedness in high places. We do so by taking up the shield of faith, declaring the intentions of God and bringing the Light of the world, the Word of God into every frontier of this life. We hold our position and keep on ‘Asking for our Nation’ Ps 2. We at 10W believe for a widespread move of God that will not be contained in one group but that the Grace of God will gather multitudes for His names sake. These floods provide us with an illustration of the power of water as it makes contact with culture. First the natural then the spiritual, we are believing for our culture to be overwhelmed with the outpouring of God’s grace and the army rising up to ‘be there’ for humanity.

I want to share with you the specific promise that I am announcing this year. There is a ‘new season in God’, and it is ours to possess, to him who has ears to hear. The text I want to share speaks of ‘years’, but it is more about seasons, and I believe we are entering the 3rd year / season of this story. It will help for you to read from the beginning of Isaiah 37; (go to www.tenthousandwarriors.blogspot.com and read it now).

IN A NUTSHELL: A certain enemy is threatening the people of God by intimidating their King, who had previously been weak in his convictions. (But thanks be to Jesus who is our righteousness and who keeps no account of wrong). The King in trouble does 2 things immediately, which we could learn to copy. He goes into the temple to pray, remembering who His God is and he sends for the wisdom of the prophet (Isaiah) to inquire of the Lord.

While waiting for Word, Hezekiah, (the King) refuses to be engaged in conversation with his enemy, declares the power of God, and ignores the threats from the enemy. When the enemy sends another message, Hezekiah goes again into the temple, and into the presence of God.
When the king’s messengers arrive at the prophet and explain to him the situation, firstly he says
‘Do not be afraid’, and

Then Isaiah sent this message to Hezekiah:
"This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:
Because you prayed about your enemy King of Assyria,
the Lord has spoken this word against him:

"The virgin daughter of Zion despises you and laughs at you.
The daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head in derision as you flee…

Then to Hezekiah he says;

…"This year you will eat only what grows up by itself,
and next year you will eat what springs up from that.

But in the third year you will plant crops and harvest them; you will tend vineyards and eat their fruit.
And you who are left in Judah, who have escaped the ravages of the siege, will put roots down in your own soil and grow up and flourish. For a remnant of my people will spread out from Jerusalem, a group of survivors from Mount Zion.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven's Armies will make this happen!

I encourage you to step into this season of fruitfulness. Plant crops and believe for harvests. Gen 26 v 1 … And that year Isaac harvested 100 times more than he planted….
Tend vineyards, get involved in the mission of the Church, to make disciples, and let His praise be continually on your lips. Let your roots go down deep into God and trust God to the extreme and pray without ceasing. He finished this word with a bold statement that God Himself was the one who‘makes it happen’.

So here we go, head down and pray, 10 minutes every-day, dedicated prayer for our cities, our churches and our nation. Use the prayers at www.10000warriors.comto guide you. Sign up at the blogspot for more updates and be patient in trouble, strong and very courageous, remember his benefits and love one another.

I wrote in December what I believe God plans for this nation and I believe it with all my heart. This Autralia Day can we all pray the "Prayer for our Cities". (download it now at 10000warriors.com)

Isaiah 37

Isaiah 37
When King Hezekiah heard their report, he tore his clothes and put on burlap and went into the Temple of the Lord. 2 And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the court secretary, and the leading priests, all dressed in burlap, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. 3 They told him, "This is what King Hezekiah says: Today is a day of trouble, insults, and disgrace. It is like when a child is ready to be born, but the mother has no strength to deliver the baby. 4 But perhaps the Lord your God has heard the Assyrian chief of staff, sent by the king to defy the living God, and will punish him for his words. Oh, pray for those of us who are left!"

5 After King Hezekiah's officials delivered the king's message to Isaiah, 6 the prophet replied, "Say to your master, 'This is what the Lord says: Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king's messengers. 7 Listen! I myself will move against him, and the king will receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.'"

8 Meanwhile, the Assyrian chief of staff left Jerusalem and went to consult the king of Assyria, who had left Lachish and was attacking Libnah.

9 Soon afterward King Sennacherib received word that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was leading an army to fight against him. Before leaving to meet the attack, he sent messengers back to Hezekiah in Jerusalem with this message:

10 "This message is for King Hezekiah of Judah. Don't let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you with promises that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria. 11 You know perfectly well what the kings of Assyria have done wherever they have gone. They have completely destroyed everyone who stood in their way! Why should you be any different? 12 Have the gods of other nations rescued them—such nations as Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Tel-assar? My predecessors destroyed them all! 13 What happened to the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad? What happened to the kings of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?"

14 After Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Lord's Temple and spread it out before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed this prayer before the Lord: 16 "O Lord of Heaven's Armies, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth. 17 Bend down, O Lord, and listen! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see! Listen to Sennacherib's words of defiance against the living God.
18 "It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all these nations. 19 And they have thrown the gods of these nations into the fire and burned them. But of course the Assyrians could destroy them! They were not gods at all—only idols of wood and stone shaped by human hands. 20 Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power; then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O Lord, are God."

Isaiah Predicts Judah's Deliverance

21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you prayed about King Sennacherib of Assyria, 22 the Lord has spoken this word against him:

"The virgin daughter of Zion
despises you and laughs at you.
The daughter of Jerusalem
shakes her head in derision as you flee.
30 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Here is the proof that what I say is true:

"This year you will eat only what grows up by itself,
and next year you will eat what springs up from that.
But in the third year you will plant crops and harvest them;
you will tend vineyards and eat their fruit.
31 And you who are left in Judah,
who have escaped the ravages of the siege,
will put roots down in your own soil
and grow up and flourish.
32 For a remnant of my people will spread out from Jerusalem,
a group of survivors from Mount Zion.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven's Armies
will make this happen!

YES & AMEN!

He is our Very Present Help in Time of Trouble.

Calling all Prayers, Warriors who are proficient with their Sword. Let us declare the Goodness of God and His willingness to help us in times of trouble. We stand together at this difficult time and pray for those who are grieving. In the hours and days ahead we know that you are there. I see there is more to come yet and this is an opportunity for us the Church to SHine, to reflect Him who saved us.

We trust in you, Lord Jesus, You are able to save. When we call out to you, Your ear is open to our cry. We call out that people who are alive will be found swiftly, that our emergency workers will remain safe and that You will grant great wisdom to the Premier and the leaders in this operation. God we place our state and nation firmly in your hands. We trust in You alone.

The seasons were His idea.

Here we are, everybody has said the mandatory, 'Happy New Year' and I have felt the energy of a brand new year as it dawns on us.

My thoughts and feelings are, it is a 'make or break' season. Grow up, Change, Do what you said you would do, And do it NOW.

When I was a child I spoke and behaved like a child. But when I grew up, I PUT OFF CHILDISH THINGS.

This is the year to put off the weights that slow you down. Be very blessed, God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly and above all ...
