A New Beginning in Central Texas: Milano and Austin

My Dear South Central Texas Fullness Friends and Family,

A prophet called me early this morning and shared that “fountains of blessings and revival” are about to spring forth from my heart. This particular prophet has been used of God during a very serious medical episode with Bev and an infected tooth. We nearly lost her.

Another time he called and said God would us just the words from my mouth to heal people. It happened three times in two different churches. Today as I pray about being in Austin, TX on February 28, in Milano, TX on March 2 and in Georgetown, TX on March 3, I get excited thinking about what God is about to do in these three venues.

God is prepared heal the sick and infirmed. In doing so, He is expecting you to come in faith believing. Miracles will occur.

Would you please pray for these three venues?

Hope to see you there.

Bev’s Interpretation of Ras’ May 17, 2011 Bees Dream

RAS’ DREAM THE NIGHT OF May 16:  I dreamed a triple segment dream last night.  It is the first time that has ever happened.  God has impressed upon me the significance, importance and prophetic impact of this dream:

I dreamed in the first segment that there were spheres or balls of small bee-like attacking insects coming at me.  There were many bees in each ball.  One would escape the ball and fly towards me.  Then the ball would close ranks and return to a tight sphere.  This startled me.  At first, this scene seemed harmless but then I realized it could become catastrophic.

In the second segment, the ball was reinforced by many other balls of bees, just like the first one.  After a while, the third segment displayed the sky full of the balls of bees.

Reference was made in my May 17 BLOG to the Japan earthquake and tsunami, the Iran missile sights in our neighbor Venezuela, Columbia.  We also mention Iran swapping rocket technologies with North Korea.

Nothing was mentioned about anything in that post applying to Ras personally.  Neither was then mentioned in the dream that the bee flying toward Ras ever actually stung him.  But there are messages to Ras within the dream.

Today, I want to share the interpretations of this dream by my wife Bev and then my comments on all the dream interpretations (read the posts on the BLOG with interpretations of this dream), including Bev’s.

Bev’s Interpretation:  RAS’ BEE DREAM

I have studied dreams and interpretation for a number of years and taught on the subject several times.  My main understanding of dreams is what God has taught me as I have written down my dreams and sought Him for the interpretation.  I use the following Scripture as the basis for all dream interpretation:

Genesis 40:8 (NASB) Then they said to him, “We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”

As the Scriptures say, interpretations come from God.  Tell it.  I even speak my own dreams to myself out loud.   Often the interpretation comes as I am speaking the dream aloud.   Or I may go to someone for counsel and tell the dream and then the interpretation comes.  But the correct interpretation always comes by way of God.

Most all dreams have meaning that is personal to the one dreaming, likewise so do the symbols.  Dream symbols do not mean the same to every person.  Symbols mean different things to different people, i.e. to a bee keeper, a ball of flying bees may mean something altogether different than to the average person.  Some symbols tend to be universal, but only for the purpose of spring boarding one into a specific interpretation.  Only God knows completely the deep interworking of the subconscious minds of people.

A dream usually has to do with what the dreamer is going through at that particular time.  Even if it is a prophetic dream it is usually spurred by something happening in the present knowledge of the dreamer.

I would say one’s dreams are almost 99.44 percent about themselves.  I know of some hard stories of things people have gone through because they thought a dream was about the person they dreamed.  In reality, a dream is about the personality traits of the dreamer that is represented by the traits seen in a person in the dream.

God wants to speak to the dreamer whether it is about something personal or has a broader interpretation of the prophetic.  Some times with me it has been both.

Now to the interpretation of Ras’s dream.  I have the advantage of him telling me the dream and I just asked him to tell it to me again.

The dream was in three segments.  Look again at it (see above).

Bees represent problems or fears, not gargantuan problems or fears, as if there were bears or tigers or lions swarming around him, but nevertheless problems that could sting.   But since some flew at him they are threatening to sting or irritating him by coming near.   In the dream, the number of bees grew increasingly larger.  Notice none of the bees stung Ras.  So this is more a warning or an irritant.

I have another advantage in interpretation in that I know he was going though some personal problems with some of his relatives having illnesses that he was unaware of until he was called.  As he learned more, bigger problems emerged, and there was even one that resulted in death.  There was a possible problem in the ministry with something to be worked out with one of our pastors, but again it wasn’t major.

Now on to the prophetic.  When we were in Japan a few years ago a missionary told us that the country of Japan was called a swarm of bees by some other Asian countries.  I believe that meant they were like bees in starting wars.  We heard something like buzzing bees when they made decisions.  They seem to make decisions better as a group than as individuals.  We were told they are taught the group as a whole is more important than the individual.  If you remember, there was no looting during the recent earthquakes and resulting tsunami.  They saw the nation as a whole in trouble.

I “googled” about the Japanese being called bees and found an article in LIFE MAGAZINE, August 16, 1943 that referred to the Japanese Army being compared to a swarm of bees.  Another reference to bees refers to a hornet the size of a bird that is native to Japan.

There were many natural disasters and much political unrest among nations going on in the world when Ras had this dream.  It seems the world was being attacked by swarms of bees.  The bees represent fears and problems that, at first seem to be localized in one place.  At first it seems these problems do not affect the rest of the world.   But they are increasing and will eventually cause prices in food, clothing, gasoline, homes, and all goods to increase.  I noticed the 1943 LIFE MAGAZINE issue cost was 10 cents and for a year’s subscription was $4.50.

In Israel it is hard to keep up with the bees swarming around them.  They are surrounded by many swarms of bees.

These swarms of bees in other parts of the world may not be affecting us personally and dramatically now, but they soon will affect us all.  Swarms of bees seem to be multiplying all over the world.  Thus we have our call to intercessory prayer.  We are all connected.  The Japanese understand the connectedness of each other.  Often those of us in western culture do not understand this.

Whether we are going through something on a personal level, national level or world level, let us be diligent about the call to prayer.

Bev’s email:  prayer@fullnessnetwork.net

Ras’ Interpretation/Applications:  Truly, I have gained from reading each of your posts seeking to interpret or at least to comment on the dream.  Thank you so much for participating via your prayers and posts.

Each and every one of you have blessed me with your comments.

Since Bev knows me and my situation better than anyone, since we have been married 54 years on June 15 of this year, she had a very good interpretation.  I am grateful to her and all of you!

The dream is a call to get on the wall, standing in the gap for what God puts on our hearts.  I believe God is calling us to allow our hearts to be connected.  For those who answer the call, our weapons will be media (one reason I am publishing this BLOG), education, acts of mercy and kindness, spiritual warfare, support for our military and foreign relations and so many more.

Each of us is called, being called or will be called very soon to get on the wall and stand in the gap.  The Lord wants me to prophesy this word again to you.  Read it slowly and prayerfully.  Take action and become proactive:

May 21, 2011.  The Lord saves the best wine to serve last.  The new wine will be expended and then comes the very best of the vats.  I always save the best to be served last.  You yourself are that best wine.  I have called, anointed and appointed many.  Much has been accomplished for the sake of My kingdom.  Like My servant Paul, your destiny will drastically change for the better as it relates to My Kingdom.  Things you have already seen are awesome.  But the road ahead will be filled with profound wonder and power.  As this unfolds for you, never back away.  Instead, face each new challenge with courage and confidence. You have been chosen for this hour.  A new and higher level of anointing awaits you.  Therefore, humble yourself and tune your ears to My voice and your eyes to see what I have arranged for you to do.  I am with you always.

Acts 22:10 (GW) “Then I asked, ‘What do you want me to do, Lord?’  “The Lord told me, ‘Get up!  Go into the city of Damascus, and you’ll be told everything I’ve arranged for you to do.'”  Ras Robinson.  

Please post your prayers on this BLOG.  Your post may bring the light that someone else needs to have a spiritual or physical breakthrough.

Thank you for your participation and God bless you.

JAPAN OUR HARBINGER OF COMING CATASTROPHES

A DREAM LAST NIGHT.  I dreamed a triple segment dream last night.  It is the first time that has ever happened.  God has impressed upon me the significance, importance and prophetic impact of this dream.

I dreamed in the first segment that there were spheres or balls of small bee-like attacking insects coming at me.  There were many bees in each ball.  One would escape the ball and fly towards me.  Then the ball would close ranks and return to a tight sphere.  This startled me.  At first, this scene seemed harmless but then I realized it could become catastrophic.

In the second segment, the ball was reinforced by many other balls of bees, just like the first one.  After a while, the third segment displayed the sky full of the balls of bees.

Japan came to mind with the event of the horrific earthquake followed by the unbelievable tsunami.  Power outages severely crippled the desperate survivors in homes and businesses.

Iran is planning missile and rocket launching bases in Venezuela, next door to Columbia, a close ally to the United States.  The idea is that if America attacks Iran, then Iran can punish Columbia and perhaps other allies closer to our borders.

To top all this off, it is now revealed that North Korea and Iran are swapping rocket and missile technologies.  This does not bode well for peace on our soil.

I have included accounts in today’s news concerning Iran’s dealing with both Venezuela and North Korea for your intercession.

Today, please do not include teachings or extraneous copy with your intercessions.  What we need is your specific discernments about this particular subject of Japan being a harbinger of possible catastrophes in America.  Here is what I want today, please:

Prophetic insights and discernments, targeted comments dealing with this one subject for today, prayers of petition of God for His help, intercessions to stand in the gap for Japan and America.  I believe this will enable us to have a greater impact.  Thank you for your cooperation.

I so appreciate each and every one of you and encourage you to send your post.  My personal intercession follows the two articles below.  Join me.

‘Die Welt’: Iran building rocket bases in Venezuela

By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL,  JPOST CORRESPONDENT 
05/17/2011 01:41

German paper says Iranians paid cash to build mid-range missile launch pads on Paraguana Peninsula; Iranian engineers visited site in Feb.

BERLIN – The Iranian government is moving forward with the construction of rocket launch bases in Venezuela, the German daily Die Welt wrote in its Friday edition.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is Teheran’s most important South American ally.

UN: Iran, North Korea trading missile technology

Iran is building intermediate- range missile launch pads on the Paraguaná Peninsula, and engineers from a construction firm – Khatam al-Anbia – owned by the Revolutionary Guards visited Paraguaná in February. Amir al-Hadschisadeh, the head of the Guard’s Air Force, participated in the visit, according to the report. Die Welt cited information from “Western security insiders.”

The rocket bases are to include measures to prevent air attacks on Venezuela as well as commando and control stations.

The Iranian military involvement in the project extends to bunker, barracks and watch tower construction. Twenty-meter deep rocket silos are planned. The cost of the Venezuelan military project is being paid for with Iranian oil revenue. The Iranians paid in cash for the preliminary phase of the project and, the total cost is expected to amount to “dozens of millions” of dollars, Die Welt wrote.

The Paraguaná Peninsula is on the coast of Venezuela and is roughly 120 kilometers from America’s main South American partner, Columbia.

According to Die Welt, the clandestine agreement between Venezuela and Iran would mean the Chavez government would fire rocket at Iran’s enemies should the Islamic Republic face military strikes.

Iran, North Korea Partnering on Ballistic Missiles, U.N. Says

Monday, May 16, 2011

Iran and North Korea seem to routinely be swapping ballistic missile equipment in breach of U.N. Security Council directives, a classified expert report to the international body stated on Friday (see GSN, Dec. 1, 2010).

(May. 16) – An Iranian Shahab 3 ballistic missile lifts off in a 2009 test. The Shahab 3’s warhead appears comparable in design to a North Korean warhead unveiled last year, according to a U.N. report that says the countries seem to have exchanged ballistic missile technology (Shaiegan/Getty Images).

Illegal trades of missile technology had “transshipment through a neighboring third country,” the report states. Multiple envoys told Reuters the nation in question is China.

The report by the Panel of Experts assigned to oversee adherence to U.N. sanctions levied against North Korea was sent to the Security Council on Friday and viewed by Reuters on Saturday.

The document is expected to increase apprehension over Pyongyang’s collaboration with Tehran and to bolster worries about Beijing’s willingness to implement sanctions targeting North Korea and Iran’s nuclear activities, diplomats said.

The Security Council sanctions forbid commerce in atomic and missile systems with the North.

“Prohibited ballistic missile-related items are suspected to have been transferred between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran on regular scheduled flights of Air Koryo and Iran Air,” the experts stated.

“For the shipment of cargo, like arms and related materiel, whose illicit nature would become apparent on any cursory physical inspection, (North) Korea seems to prefer chartered cargo flights,” the document says.

Chartered cargo flights typically travel “from or to air cargo hubs which lack the kind of monitoring and security to which passenger terminals and flights are now subject,” according to the report.

A number of envoys to the Security Council said Beijing was not pleased with the experts’ findings and was expected to use its position as a council veto-holder to block the report’s publication. Currently, only the 15 nations on the Security Council are permitted to view the report.

The Chinese representative on the expert panel did not give his approval to the report, envoys said.

China has a history of using its position to block publication of U.N. reports that are critical of North Korea, a longtime ally. The Chinese mission to the United Nations did not comment on the matter (Louis Charbonneau, Reuters, May 14).

“The Chinese expert refused to sign the report, under pressure from Beijing, and this raises serious issues about a panel of experts that is supposed to be free from political interference,” one high-level U.N. envoy told the New York Times (Dan Bilefsky, New York Times, May 14).

New hints of Tehran’s collaboration with the Pyongyang on missile development developed from an October 2010 military parade in which the North unveiled a new Nodong missile warhead, Reuters quoted the experts as saying (see GSN, Oct. 13, 2010). The warhead possessed “a strong design similarity with the Iranian Shahab 3 triconic warhead,” they noted.

There does not seem to be any concrete proof that Myanmar has been establishing an illicit atomic program with support from Pyongyang, the report says. The Panel of Experts in the past has addressed the suspected nuclear collaboration. In this document they did not rule out the claims and indicated “extreme caution” could be necessary to block potential proliferation activities by the two states (see GSN, April 12).

“While acknowledging the possibility that Myanmar was the end user of this dual-use equipment, several experts also raised the possibility that it was serving as a transshipment point for delivery to (North Korea),” the document says.

The potential for North to provide weapon-usable nuclear substances or atomic equipment to foreign nations continues to be a worry and poses “new challenges to international nonproliferation efforts,” the experts wrote.

Pyongyang has been accused by Israel, the United States and other nations of illicitly aiding Syria in building an atomic reactor that was demolished in a 2007 Israeli airstrike before it could go live. The Syrian government dismisses the accusations, which are being probed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (see GSN, May 2).

The experts also said Pyongyang’s uranium enrichment program, which the regime insists is for atomic energy production, is “primarily for military purposes.” The aspiring nuclear power “should be compelled to abandon its uranium enrichment program and that all aspects of the program should be placed under international monitoring,” the report advises (Charbonneau, Reuters, May 14).

Lord, I come in all the humility you can give me and ask for a covering of mercy from your throne of grace in this hour.  You alone know the significance of my dream from last night.  And while I know the skies are prophetically filled with the balls of bees from those who hate our nation, I know that you love us and that we are in covenant with you.  Our enemies are your enemies.  You fight our battles when we depend totally upon You.  No one else can save us but you.  So, I unite my heart with the reader of this post and pray and intercede.  Have mercy Lord and show us what we are to do.  In Jesus’ name, amen.

EARTHQUAKES NOW, ERUPTING MOUNTAINS NEXT?

EARTHQUAKES NOW, ERUPTING MOUNTAINS NEXT?

God has allowed me to predict earthquakes.  I have stood in a stadium which shook just as I had predicted in Peru.  I have prophesied earthquakes along I-35 in America, which splits the country in half north and south, going northward from Mexico to Canada.  Those have and are happening.  All this is to show a shaking God is foretelling for America.  Surely it is coming.  We will be shaken so badly that we think we can no longer be shaken.  But we know from the earthquakes off the Japanese coast, that just when you think it is all over, here it comes again.  God wants our attention America.

How can God be idle when there are over one million abortions a year in American?  How long can He stay silent when we no longer claim to neither be a Christian nation nor allow prayer or reading from the Bible in public places other than church houses?

A prophet that I follow and in whom I have some confidence is Kim Clement.  Below is a prophetic word published April 8 in Elijah List but given March 25 in Nashville, TX.  Read it below and pray:

Watch the Mountains! There Will Be an Eruption of My Spirit as Never Before

Watch the Mountains

Prophesied on March 25, 2011 from Nashville, Tennessee:

The Spirit of God says, “There is going to be a constant praise going on, and it’s going to begin to erupt; and all over the world I shall restore the Tabernacle of David, where there shall be constant praise in the house of the Living God. On street corners – unusual eruptions. Watch the mountains,” says the Lord, “watch the mountains as they begin to erupt. You see, the earth is busy – from deep within; it has erupted from within. Now it’s going to go to the mountains,” says the Lord. “There will be minimal loss of lives, but the earth erupting represents an eruption of the Spirit of the Living God upon the nations of the earth!”

The Lord says, “Watch the mountains! They will erupt and smoke shall come from them, and the people will say, ‘Oh my God, it is the end!'” But God said, “It is the beginning, it is the beginning of labor pains, for something is about to be born. An eruption of My Spirit as never before, and I shall bring forth something that will reach every nation on the earth,” says the Lord. “Praise will erupt in the Middle East, and praise will erupt in Africa; praise will erupt in America; praise will erupt in Asia; praise will erupt in the islands of the sea. Praise will erupt in America! Praise will erupt in America! Praise will erupt in Africa! Praise will erupt in Africa! Praise will erupt in Asia!”

—–

Surely God must judge American!  Surely in His mercy He will send forth His Spirit again to cover this nation with repentance and righteousness.

Lord, may your Holy Spirit be pour out to cover the earth like a morning fog.

God save America!  God bless America!

GOD IS MOVING AND SHAKING US AWAKE by Peggy Morton

The Lord Jesus said that in the last days….

“there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven….There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Luke 21:11, 25-26

“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” Romans 8:22

APOCALYPTIC EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI HIT JAPAN: Nuclear power plant explodes    Posted: March 11, 2011 – Verses above quoted from this important must read page by Joel C. Rosenberg

 TIMELINE

Friday – 3-11-11: 

• Japan is located along the Pacific “ring of fire,” an area of high seismic and volcanic activity stretching from New Zealand in the South Pacific up through Japan, across to Alaska and down the west coasts of North and South America.
• The Japan quake was “hundreds of times larger” than the 2010 quake that ravaged Haiti, and is ranked as the 4^th largest quake since 1900.
• The Japanese quake was of similar strength to the 2004 earthquake in Indonesia that triggered a tsunami that killed over 166,000 people in more than a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean.
• The 9.0 Richter scale earthquake, shifted the earth’s crust eight feet (2.4 meters) along the coast of Japan, and shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 6 inches (15.5 centimeters).
• 33 foot waves (10 meters) high tsunami in Fukushima Prefecture on Friday, causing the formation of 30-foot walls of water that swept across rice fields, engulfed entire towns, dragged houses onto highways, and tossed cars and boats like toys. Some waves reached six miles (10 kilometers) inland in Miyagi Prefecture on Japan’s east coast.

• Click here to see the live video of the tsunami wave hitting the coast and sweeping away an entire city in the Fukushima Prefecture.
• Click here to read a firsthand report on the experience of living through the Japan quake.

Saturday – 3-12-11 4:30a: 

• Hawaii hit by first aftermath of waves from the Japan tsunami.
• The Fukushima Daiichi plant, north of Tokyo is leaking radiation and wind is blowing it further north above Tokyo – with radiation leak in 1 of 4 reactors due to not having electricity needed to cool down the cores. Worst case scenarios is that people will have risk of cancer from exposure to radiation.
• Japanese media estimate that at least 1,300 people were killed. (Actual numbers may be closer to 10 times the initial estimate.)

 Monday – 3-13-11 9:30p: 

• Reactor 3 experiences hydrogen explosion and Reactor 2 has been compromised at the The Fukushima Daiichi plant. Radiation leaks into the atmosphere could be dispersed out as far as Tokyo.

_______________________________

God is moving and shaking us awake, I believe. This morning, I woke up with a start at 4:30a, approximately the same time the Japan tsunami aftermath waves hit Hawaii today, March 12, 2011. Was God signally just me, a lone individual currently in a small town in central Texas? No, I think not. I got on Facebook and others in my circle of acquaintances are also up and writing at about the same time. They, too, have been awakened at this early hour, some with accompanying pain, others not. Those of us who are particularly sensitive to God’s presence sometimes have travailing pain in crisis situations. I woke up with a severe headache – I attribute this to pressure changes in the atmosphere. To those of us familiar with Quantum Physics, everything that moves creates a counterpart opposing reaction. That includes atmospheric pressure changes (i.e. energy) from even the slightest movement of an atom on up to air waves created by sonic booms. Taken to infinity that means that in the spiritual realm, if we are awakened abruptly or startled it just might be the presence of God moving to gently nudge us into his realm. He does, after all, control all vibrations on the earth, including the earthquakes and the tsunamis. Take note, he may be giving us advance notice of the end of time. 

Ras recently commented along these lines:

“Yes, these are the end times.  But you have been in the end times since the first century of Christianity.  People and pundits have played the term end times to suit their own purposes.  I say unto you, be ready at all times.  I still control the times and seasons.  Be very watchful and pray to the Lord your God.  He will hear from Heaven.  …. I am still Lord over all things.  Let your heart be at peace.”

The Lord warns us that “The heavens and the earth will shake from all points from the east to the west and the north to the south.” This gives me pause to think about the events of late. I ask myself, “Where is Japan in relation to where I am in Texas?” It is due east of my current location. The tsunami aftermath is traversing the globe right now along the earth’s longitudinal axis from the east to the west hitting the western shores of the US and Hawaii as I write this. The nuclear radiation, as a result of the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant explosion, is being picked up by the Pacific jet stream and could travel onwards to the Western Seaboard of the United States. In addition, the entire earth’s axis has shifted 6 inches from the massive earthquake in Japan. It is mind-boggling to think of the energy it takes to move that amount of mass. How much more “shaking” do we, the people, need in order for God to get our attention? 

A very wise, 85 year old friend of mine recently said to me that if we are true and faithful Christians, we will be saved in the end times, BEFORE the final earthly catastrophe’s hit. How will we know when and how this is going to happen? We will know because we will not feel pain, but only the joy and peace because God will have lifted us to heaven first. Unlike the non-believers left here the earth (if the planet still exists) where hell will reside.  Because He will give us that abrupt nudge, or push, that will cause us to come to attention. It may be a spit second, or a nanosecond, before “it” happens, but nonetheless the signal will come. So do not worry, do not fret, be at peace and be at rest. All is well. All is well.

All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.  He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

Part 2-What Is Hot in Your Heart…? by Peggy Morton

“R-E-V-I-V-A-L … Prepare ye’ for the way of the Lord … I can feel revival coming, I feel it in my spirit, I can feel it in my bones… I hear the voice of one crying… from the widow walking through the rain of tears…I can hear the thunder in the distance, I can hear a storm brewing…..lay your burdens down…Revival’s with your mind!” Lyrics to “Revival” by Northern Irish Celtic Band Leader – Robin Mark, on the “Azusa Street Centennial: Sound of Revival” album.

I find it exhilarating to find our numbers increase as Spiritual Warriors hear the call to arms. I was especially moved by Marilyn’s and Peggy Caden’s remarks in the first post by Ras. First, I want to add to Marilyn’s comments the additional music video above for the song “Revival” by Mark Robin. The video link above provides beautiful, and extremely moving, imagery along with the lyrics. Just follow the YouTube.com link to hear this wonderful praise song.

Regarding Peggy Caden’s comments, I too am hearing from the Lord what she said, “This is an hour and I have a need…My need is for my Bride to heed! Heed what I say and tell her closely in this time.” I have been experiencing a “call” by the Lord in this “hour” to pray for many nations. In reference to Ras comments from the Lord, “This is a serious hour. Your prayers will move My hand and greatly influence my decisions,” I feel I have been taken to task on this issue. I have prayed hard over the last month, at several levels for a number of nations and individuals, and felt at times the inadequacies of my offering, only to be amazed, within the next 24 hours, to discover a positive “breakthrough” in the events or conditions of people I have been praying for. Truly the “hour” is upon us to pray for the nations…I feel very strong affirmations in what I hear from God on this issue.

The Lord has focused my heart at different moments on the United States, The Philippines, Thailand, and Israel, along with Israel’s sister nations of Egypt, and Syria and Iraq (which were both part of the original Assyria.) As a result, I have written a number of posts as I felt called to respond:

United States: THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS UPON US – CLAIM IT! LIVE IT! SPEAK IT!

Philippines: “…Whatever You Did For One of the Least of These Brothers and Sisters of Mine, You Did For Me.” Matthew 25:40

Thailand: Pray for the Nation of Thailand

Israel and Egypt: “IF EGYPT FALLS NOW, DOES JERUSALEM GO WITH IT?” – written by Peggy Morton

Please join in and contribute to this BLOG. It is the goal of this BLOG to generate a life of it’s own as prayer warriors request the intercessors join together in specific pinpoint prayer for a nation or individual. Thanks to the nature of BLOGS, as you comment or provide specific prayers for a target nation, the entry will be cross posted under the specific country to the right.

I look forward to where God will take us in this realm. Remember, every prayer is important, especially in the collective, as we act upon the Lord’s call: “Your prayers will move My hand and greatly influence my decisions.”

More and more are not only reading this BLOG but are now beginning to post their prayers and insights.  I am sensing God is breathing His favor and anointing on all who participate.  I hereby invite you to participate by posting your prayers of intercession on this BLOG.

This morning, God impressed me to ask something of you:  “What is Hot in Your Heart for Intercession?”  Look again at the post on my blog by Peggy Morton.  (Explore this BLOG by reading precious posts by others, including Peggy).  Peggy’s post does a beautiful and brilliant job of presenting the challenge of praying for the nations that have been mentioned on this blog.  She illustrated with maps of those countries and regions.

With this in mind, what is your focus of intercession:  Middle East, Asia, the Americas, and USA?  And when you have posted your focus of intercession, post along with it your prayer for that nation(s).  Invite the rest of us on the blog to join with your prayers in agreements and expansion.  This could have enormous effects on the focus nation(s).

In summary, reply to this post here that you are reading by listing your focus nations and include your prayers of intercession today for each.  Invite me and others to join with you in prayers of agreement.

Can I count on you?  Intercession is not a spectator sport!

“Everything Is Falling Apart. Can It Be Fixed?”

Have you ever seen in America the souls of people in such a free fall into selfishness, self centeredness and self gain as today?  The strikes and total disarray in our state of Wisconsin will soon be duplicated in Ohio and a whole string of other states where the unions are demanding their pay not be cut and that they continue to be able to operate as normal during critical financial times.  Most states in America are in deep financial trouble.  California is out of control financially.

God’s word may be of some help in understanding:

James 3: 13-18 (AMP) ¹³ Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom.
¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth.
¹⁵ This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal).
¹⁶ For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices.
¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).
¹⁸ And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God’s will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].

God is still on the throne and He wait for those who will stand in the gap in such a time as this.  Prayer is still our most powerful weapon against the devil.  In times like this, these words from God come to mind:

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (KJV) ³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
⁵ Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
⁶ And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

This weapon of prayer that God has given is our best bet now to see transformation take place in America.  These strongholds of the flesh can be pulled down.  They must be destroyed.  Pray that our thinking as a nation gets sanitized.  Most all of this that has happened and is happening, is the way our flesh has taught us to think of ourselves first and the heck with the other people.

Intercessors, please join me as we pray for America and especially for the most financially troubled states.  We have brothers and sisters in Christ who are struggling.  Marriages are crumbling in this crisis.  Homes are being lost.  This is a low water mark day in which we live.

Our hope is in Christ alone.  Our faith is seeing God’s answer and praying it be so today as it is already so in Heaven.  Amen.

SHOOT OUT AT THE O.K. CORRALL – PREPARE FOR WAR

In the Spirit I saw an old western movie town with gunfighters anxiously roaming the streets.  It reminded me so much of the famed old movie “Shoot Out at the O. K. CORRAL.”  Many were in the town saloon.  A few were still riding their horses.  Gunshots were heard over the yelling of violent men wearing black hats.  Most were shouting to top of their lungs.  They were terrorizing the town.

The rabble rousers were getting louder and louder with obscenities.  They kept shouting “Take the Town and the People.”  You could quickly see their arrogance, hate and meanness.  There had fire in their eyes and you could sense their utter determination to kill and destroy.

The normally peaceful citizens were alarmed and afraid.  Most of them were hiding in their houses and behind buildings.  They never imagined this would happen to them and their otherwise peaceful town.

Suddenly there was a very loud voice heard.  Only the people of the town could hear it.  The voice was strong and totally confident.  The voice said “Prepare for War.”  It was the voice of the Lord God Jehovah.  He would give them, if they heard His voice and obeyed, battle plans, together with all the weapons they needed.  His hand of favor would be upon them.  In addition, He sent war angels to fight at their side.

They cleaned and oiled their guns, resetting their gun sights.  Next, they sharpened both edges of their swords and knives.  Their courage was building.  Confidence was rising in their hearts.  They had suddenly been given all the boldness they would need for the battle.

The Lord says, “This is not a day to be slack.  No dozing and snoozing for you.  Sit and stand up straight.  It is time for the war of wars.  If you do not fight in this war, the enemy will take you, your town and your nation to ruins.  Man the battle posts.

Call unto Me and I will show you great and mighty things that you know not of.    Set your ear and focus your mind on My voice.  I am your commander-in-chief.  We will win this battle.

Prayers and intercessions are my strategies.  Steeped in and walking in Godly wisdom will be yours if you ask, listen and obey what you hear.  Peace will come but at a price.”

CHANGING A NATION THROUGH PRAYER: Philippines

You are we are joined in mind and heart to be world changers.  We have this in common.  We have found that prayer is the most important strategy in all that we seek.  Prayer must also be the first priority.

Consider a nation where we at FCM have poured out hearts, resources and tears in concert for 10 years.  We began our work there in April, 2001.  It was also the year of a terrorist attack on New York City Trade Towers, killing 3,000 people almost instantly. We have been at war with the terrorist ever since.

Please go within this blog to the excellent piece on Asia, done by Peggy Morton, to read of the political corruption and the class grip on the wealth by perhaps only one percent of the total population.  Here is a nation we know has enormous natural resources.  It is on the trade routes for all of Asia.  The opportunity for an economic and social transformation is apparent.  And yet, year after year, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

Let’s do this.  How many of us would pinpoint focus our prayers of this great little nation?  If you would be included, the best thing you can do to say “yes” is to write an intercession or prayer and then post it on this blog under Asia or Philippines.  That is something dynamic about agreement.  Please show your agreement.

For your convenience, here is Peggy’s post again:

Alert.net Country Snapshot: The Philippines is a fragile, unstable democracy plagued by high levels of corruption and political violence. Poverty is widespread. An improving economic growth rate in recent years has been insufficient to offset a fast growing population and extreme inequalities of wealth.

Alert.net News: MANILA, Dec 21 (Reuters) – President Benigno Aquino unveiled a plan focusing on measures to cut poverty to defeat Maoist and Muslim rebels. Since the late 1960s, the Philippines has been fighting leftist and Islamist rebellions that have killed more than 160,000 people, displaced 2 million and stunted growth in the poor but resource-rich country. Soldiers from close ally the United States have been operating in the Philippine south since 2002, providing medical care and repairing schools and roads to help defeat a small group of Islamist militants with ties to al Qaeda. “If we can stop poverty, then we can stop the war and the shooting,” Aquino said. (Excerpts from a much longer expose at Alert.net)

_________________________________________________

Within the last 10 years, the Philippines population grew by 16M people, compared to 30M in the US. That growth rate represents about a 20% of the population in the Philippines, twice the growth rate of the US. The Philippines has 94M and the US has 320M people, so while the Philippines has only 30% of the population of the US, the Phillipines population is proportionally growing at twice the rate of the US.

In 2010, the Philippines had four times more people per area than the US. The population density comparison between the Philippines and the US is:

Philippines: 122 people/square km (50 people/square mile)

US: 38 people/square km (15 people/square mile)

For more demographics see the Philippines Alert.net country profile link to the right.

To bring these numbers down to terms of everyday life, imagine 3 more houses (or units) put on the property where you live. You would know your neighbors up close and friendly. The Philippines has run out of land and jobs for its people. The end result is that the lower echelon of society finds themselves being scavengers of the left overs. They live on the street, they live in the dumpsites, they live not day to day, but from hour to hour, trying to find enough sustenance to just stay alive, never mind get an education.

In the Philippines, about 100 families control most of the wealth, land, and political power. The country does not have a public school system like the United States. The wealthy send their children to private schools. Assume there are 10 family members for each of the 100 wealthy families, that means that about 1,000 people, out of 94M people in the Philippines, are getting an education equivalent to what we receive in the United States. The remainder of the population relies on humanitarian and missionary efforts to improve literacy and education.

The missionary arena is where Fullness in Christ Ministries is a major contributor. The ministry started over seven years ago, and within that period has educated over 1,000 of the least of the least, the poorest of the poor children in the Philippines. This year about 500 children are clothed, fed, and educated by the Fullness in Christ Ministries led pastors. The ministry goal is to reach 1,000 children in 2011. Imagine the impact of this effort on the Philippines? If the countries’ educated population base doubled through the work of the ministry – 1,000 more children would grow up to be well educated, Christian adults who can then become the future leaders of a country that desperately needs to have new blood in its governmental and judicial system. These same 1,000 children have families, and grow to become 2,000 people, who within a 100 year period would be able to move out of their family legacy of poverty and claim God’s inheritance – an inheritance of new wine, new wineskin, new provision for economic growth both in the family and within the nation, as they build their own businesses and industrial base. Compare this to the current system that is designed to benefit the wealthy, that is untouchable to the common person on the streets of nation, a system of the “Haves” and the “Have-Nots.”

The Christian efforts of ministries, like Fullness in Christ Ministries, largely work behind the scenes with little fanfare. Is it not time to start promoting the positive Christian efforts of people and organizations who give sacrificially to support a nation, as opposed to those who give to support a war? The time has come for a new season of giving, the type of giving that reflects the economies of scale in the global world in which we currently live and work in. The type of giving that is built on love and not war. The type of giving that is reflective of Jesus’ walk in God’s world. Please pray about this issue and if God leads your heart to do so, please help the children rise into their inheritance by sponsoring their education. Take action now by going to Fullness in Christ Ministries’ website and selecting the link to “Sponsor A Child,” the link to “Ministry To Children,” and/or the link to become a “Vision Bearer” for the Filipino children.

Matthew 25:31-46 (New International Version, ©2010):

³¹ “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. ³² All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

⁴⁰ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

⁴¹ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, ⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

⁴⁴ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

⁴⁵ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

Good job Peggy.  Thanks for the information and inspiration this brings our hearts.

⁴⁶ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
