Revival in the Last Days

"The chief danger of the 20th Century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell"-William Booth.
Evil and wickedness is multiplying in the world today at an alarming rate in fulfilment of the scriptures (Matt.24:12, 13; 2Tim3:1-7). But coincidentally, there is a promise of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the believers in the last days(Joel 2:28-32). We as latter days believers can lay hold on God in our prayers and plead for a mighty revival in our individual lives, local churches, nation and the world at large. So shall we be ready for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in these troubulous last days.

Amen, thanks for the admonition and encouragement.

The promise from the Prophet Joel was quoted by Peter at Pentecost and continues to flow down to our day.

Joel reminds us that the future is in God's hands, not man's or the devil's. It also reminds us that every moment that God deals with us in judgment, He is capturing our attention, waking us up. Blow the trumpet! Call a solemn fast! Call a solemn assembly! This is no time to sleep!

In Christ,

Yes Ron. May the Spirit of Revival enter into each of us in these end time. May we awake and stir up ourselves in our communities and cities across the globe. Truly, this is no time to sleep but to wake up and attempt something great. According to Hudson Taylor "ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD AND EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD".

Hi attached a video as I believe it will encourage you.

Dutch Sheets - Unstoppable Revival

Now I don't endorse the so called - prophetic movement but when you hear somebody say things, that you have also heard from Heaven then I have to say with honesty this man heard it from Heaven.

He is the only man, I have heard say some of the things that I have heard.

Hope it encourages you - by the way this will not be retricted to a single nation this Move of God will touch the world.

Wow that's wonderful. No doubt REVIVAL IS IN THE AIR. Also, I consent to the fact that the coming revival will start with the youths.May we all make ourselves available to what God is doing in these end time. Thanks Murray for the link.

Building Walls of Protection

There are different types of prayer: priestly prayer (petitions), kingly prayer (declarations and decrees), the prayer of agreement, travailing prayer, intercessory prayer, and other descriptive terms we could mention. Although in the thinking of many, the word intercession has come to be synonymous with prayer, it is actually just a descriptive term describing one of these various facets. The Hebrew word for intercession, paga, has several shades of meaning, all of which can be accomplished through prayer. One of these meanings is the marking of "boundaries" or "borders,” the point at which two territories meet or connect. Paga is used repeatedly this way in Joshua 19, describing the boundaries of the tribes of Israel.

Placing this definition into the context of prayer, paga is establishing boundaries or walls of protection. It is the posting of "No Trespassing" signs in the spiritual realm, and the placing of that which belongs to us under the protection of the Most High.

I love Psalm 91:1-4 from THE MESSAGE:

"You who sit down in the High God's presence, spend the night in Shaddai's shadow, say this: ‘God, you're my refuge. I trust in you, and I'm safe!’ That's right - He rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you under them; you're perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm.”

In their book, Living and Praying in Jesus’ Name, Dick Eastman and Jack Hayford, recount the following story:

"A missionary, determined to take the gospel to an interior region of China, experienced the sovereign protection of God. Ruthless bandits along the road had prevented this area from being reached. However, this young missionary went, preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. He later returned to the base without having seen any bandits. Shortly thereafter, other missionaries heard a rumor circulating throughout the area: the bandits had not attacked because an entourage of eleven soldiers had traveled with him. As he had actually traveled alone, the missionaries concluded angels must have protected him; but why eleven?

"The missionary wrote about this experience to his home church in the United States. His pastor asked when this had happened. Upon receiving this information, the pastor excitedly communicated his part of the story. The pastor had been prompted by God to call a special prayer meeting for this missionary. When the date of the prayer meeting arrived, the pastor was disappointed at the poor turnout. That changed, however, after he received the missionary's amazing report. The pastor was thrilled to tell him, "You'll be pleased to know that, counting myself, there were exactly eleven of us who were praying for you that very day."(1)

Those 11 faithful intercessors became a wall, a perimeter of protection, around this missionary through their prayers of intercession, causing Psalm 91 and Proverbs 18:10 to become realities. God wants us, also, to believe in the power of the name of Jesus and use it to build walls of protection.

Isaiah 26:1 and 60:18 speak of God's protection as walls:

"In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: ‘We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for security.’"

"Violence will not be heard again in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise."

In his book Prayer That Moves Mountains, Gordon Lindsay tells a remarkable story similar to the one about the missionary to China. It is a remarkable picture of building protective walls and boundaries through prayer:

"Unknown to a Christian Armenian, bandits followed his caravan as he transported merchandise across the desert to a town in Turkish Armenia. The bandits waited until after dark to attack, but upon approaching the caravan, they were astonished to see high walls surrounding it. The same scenario happened on the following night, with high walls again protecting the caravan. On the third night, however, the walls were broken in places, allowing the bandits access to the merchant. Frightened by the mystery of the walls, the leader of the bandits offered to spare the merchant and his caravan if he would just share the secret of the walls with him. Having no knowledge of the walls, the merchant replied that all he knew was that each evening he prayed, committing himself and those with him to God, but that on this particular evening, he had not prayed as usual, due to his tiredness, and that probably accounted for the breaks in the wall. This testimony so amazed the bandits that they gave their lives to Christ.”(2)

Many would find this story unbelievable. Yet why should it surprise us? God simply allowed people to see what was actually there in the spirit realm: walls of protection. Zechariah 2:5 calls them walls of fire: "’For I,’ declares the Lord, 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”

As we paint the boundaries of our states and nation, we are "marking” our territories, staking claims, and posting "No Trespassing” signs in the spirit. We are telling satan and his kingdom: "This land belongs to the Lord. He has given us stewardship of it, and we will not allow you to steal it.”

Even as a shaking comes - to tear down evil authority structures, cleanse our nation and turn it back to God - we will protect it, as instructed. The shaking will neither destroy nor define us. Covenant will define us. "Under God” will define us. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will define us. "Evangelist to the World” will define us.

We confidently declare that righteousness will prevail, mercy will triumph, and destiny will endure.

Pray with me:

Father, we are painting our borders blood red, sealing them with the finest of oils. Though the encroacher, the trespasser and thief, has attempted to steal our inheritance, he shall fail here just as he did in heaven. His defeat is sure, having been accomplished by Christ, whose blood we now apply through prayers of obedience.

Whatever the shaking may be, we know that mercy will endure and triumph over the reaping America experiences. We will emerge stronger, wiser, purer, more humble, and ready for another phase of destiny, another season of harvest. Baal’s hold is weakening, the light of exposure is disinfecting his putrid decay, and revealing to America the folly of our sins. We know You are about to finish what You’ve started.

So we will keep painting, keep sealing. We will keep announcing that truth will prevail, Your plans will succeed, and America shall be saved. We will continue to prepare for harvest, here and around the world. Our appeals will not diminish, our faith will not waver, and our God will not fail. In Yeshua’s name we pray. Amen

Our decree:

We decree that we, the Ekklesia, will serve the purpose of God in our generation. (Acts 13:36)

A Great Symphony of Prayer
Dutch Sheets Daily give Him 15

"Again, I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew 18:19-20; NASB)

"From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:16; KJV)

The word "agree” in Matthew 18:19 is the Greek word sumphoneo(1), from which we get the English word symphony. It’s easy to see the concept in this word: one sound, made of many sounds. There are many instruments in a symphony, all playing the same song, in the same key, with the same tempo, with one conductor. Any deviation from these demands can be heard immediately, creating discord, dissonance, perhaps even cacophony. (I’ve heard too many cacophonies in churches!)

With Holy Spirit as our Conductor, a great symphony of prayer has been forming in America. It can be heard in homes, churches, vehicles, forests, along the sides of roads and rivers, on snow-covered mountains, and in lush valleys. Listen closely, and you’ll realize it is also in many languages, coming from other nations as well. The sound of the Ekklesia Philharmonic Orchestra is no doubt rapturous to heaven, filling the throne room with great joy, even as it transforms into a sweet-smelling incense (Revelation 5:8).

The second verse above, Ephesians 4:16, is less known by the church, but packed with anecdotic language describing the church. The context of the verse, Ephesians 4, is the body of Christ - pictured as a human body, with its diverse parts and functions, working together. Let’s take a closer look at a portion of this verse.

"Fitly joined together” is an interesting and complex Greek word (sunarmologeo)(2), made from 3 words. Sun(3) means "together”, harmos(4) means "joint; joining”, and lego(5) means "to put in order; arrange or gather together.” A derivative of lego is logos, arranging thoughts into words in order to communicate them. Our English words logic and logical come from logos. This word is used as one of the names of Jesus in John 1:1. This is because Christ embodies the logic, the reasoning of God; He is the expression of God to us.

Jesus is saying to us through this amazing word (sunarmologeo) and verse: You are My expression. As I revealed the Father, You will reveal Me. You are My body; you are My words. I made each of you unique, as different in your giftings, callings, and preferences as an ear is from a foot; or, to use the symphony analogy, as different as a tuba is from a violin. But if you connect, work together, "play the same song” - I will be revealed. Your sound, Your song, is meant to reveal Me.

As we release our many prayers in this season, with different Scriptures and words, in so many ways and places, Christ is being heard and seen. Holy Spirit is the Conductor - He will show you your part. I love how He is leading people to "paint” their state in different ways. Some go, others who cannot physically travel around their state, do so on maps with their fingers and words. What a great sound that must be to heaven! Some write decrees, some use their State Constitutions, others read Robert Hunt’s decree - think of the power being released across the land as all this occurs. It’s the Synergy of the Ages Symphony! Grab your instrument, and let’s go.

Here are a few more reports and examples of painting the borders of our states:

From Virginia:

"Thank you for your call to "Command the foreword.” I am one of the moms in Loudoun County who has been vocal in our fight against corruption in our school boards.

"I have already gathered many groups to prayer walk around our city and schools, but I believe this is the most important assignment of all. In the burning promptings of Holy Spirit, I started a prayer call to recite our (Robert Hunt) 1607 Covenant daily and have joined in "painting” Virginia’s borders and anointing the land with oil. I am now partnering with groups doing the same with Intercessors For America. I promise to continue to do my part. Thank you for your leadership. You have the partnership of Loudoun County, VA. America IS being saved! Our children will have a future and prosper, in Jesus' name.”

And from North Dakota:

"We are pastors and leaders of a prayer ministry called Gateway Prayer, and we lead a Prayer Gathering to pray for the community, our region, and nation every Thursday evening at 7 pm at one of our local Community Centers. We have intercessors in attendance from 6-8 different churches (so far) in the Bismarck area.

"We encourage everyone to read or listen to Give Him 15 every day, and we are following the words you are bringing from prophetic voices in the nation.

"We love and appreciate your ministry and wanted you all to be aware we are linking arms from North Dakota, also referred to as "the bread basket of the world.”

From a U.S. Embassy:

"I am a service member currently serving at the U.S. Embassy in Santiago, Chile, although my home unit is in Texas. Yesterday Holy Spirit moved me to go to the embassy and pray for every state and U.S. territory as I walked around the atrium. I agreed and renewed our commitment to the covenant of dedication made on 29 April 1607. After all, U.S. embassies are sovereign U.S. territories, so they need to be painted, as well! America shall be saved! The third great awakening has already begun.” (shared with permission)

My staff has asked that I share two important facts that will improve your user experience:

1 ”“ First of all, you may have noticed by now that you are receiving email notifications whenever there is activity in the group you joined.

This is the default setting for every member profile. We realize you may not want this feature because it may quickly clog up your email inbox! To personalize or manage your notification settings, go to your profile located in the upper right-hand corner of GiveHim15.com, and click your profile. Once on your profile page, go to "Settings."

2 - Secondly, if you would like to see what is happening on other state group pages, you can do so by clicking the PHOTO of the state (instead of clicking the "Join" button). You only need to "Join" a group if you want to contribute a post or comment in the group feed. We hope you take some time to see what other states are doing - you will find it extremely encouraging; I know I did!

Pray with me:

Father, we rejoice with You as the church, the Ekklesia, comes together in agreement for the protection of America. We are connected in Christ, releasing the same sound, playing the same song. Continue stirring hearts to do so, and releasing creativity and insight into where to go, how to do so, and what to pray.

You said a shaking is coming to turn around our nation, not to destroy it. You said as we "command the foreword” and paint the states with the oil of Holy Spirit, we were releasing both the shaking that would cleanse, and the protection needed to preserve our land. You told us not to fear the shaking. Your Word also tells us not to fear. Therefore, we are unafraid of any shaking that occurs.

We remind ourselves that we are also joined to our brothers and sisters around the world. They are part of Your cherished family and prayer orchestra. We pray for them, as well. Strengthen them, provide for them, and encourage them. Send revival to the nations! Deliver them from evil governments and systems - tear down the strongholds of darkness. Shake down evil, even as you do so here in America. We know evil will exist until Your return, but grace will prevail, and Your Kingdom will expand.

We pray these things in Christ’s name. Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that the sound of the Ekklesia is on key, in perfect harmony, and clear. It is bringing fire and protection to our land.
