"Intercessors, You are Being Called Back to the Front Lines!" Christy Johnston

Recently I have been impressed about the power of and the need to worship.  In fact, we had a night of worship at our local park last Sunday.  I pray it is the beginning of what I hope will be a regular event.  Around 60 people came for this first event from several different churches.  Can you imagine how powerful it will be when hundreds come united from all over the county to usher in God's Presence here?

This article posted on The Elijah List today seems to be a confirmation.

"Intercessors, You are Being Called Back to the Front Lines!"

Christy Johnston, Gold Coast, Australia

I felt to release this word over the intercessors today. All week long I have had a burning in my spirit for you, as the Holy Spirit has been awakening my own desire to increase in my intercession, but also to call forth the intercessors that have become weary on the battlefield.

Responding to the Shout

I keep hearing this decree like a mighty, thunderous shout that is resounding from Heaven, "Intercessors, you are being called back to the front lines!"I released this word at our church on a recent Sunday and as I did, I saw a vision of intercessors in chains. I saw that minor distractions had been sent their way in an effort to engage them in insignificant battles. These distractions and trivial battles had led them to engage in the wrong fight; fighting relentlessly until they were exhausted. I saw them fall to the ground in a worn-out heap and I heard their unified sorrow as they cried, "We give up. We can't keep fighting like this." I then saw the enemy move in stealthily and chained their hands and feet and covered their mouths. He had planned to restrict their movement all along so they would be no longer free to engage in the real battle at hand.

"With each strategy, I began to pray in agreement with the Father and with what I was seeing. I then saw angel armies being dispatched from Heaven on my agreement with His command!"

I then heard the Father's roaring decree, "BREAK THE CHAINS in the name of JESUS!" I saw angels of fire released from Heaven at that moment and they flew at the speed of light. They came like blazing torches and they aided the intercessors by breaking their chains and helping them to stand with strength. In Cindy Jacobs' book, Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, she writes, "In a time of war, it is the generals who make the battle plans." I believe the enemy has been targeting the intercessors in this hour in an attempt to disorientate, disunite and disengage them from the battle in order to prevent them from making strategic battle plans for the army of God.

There is a Delivery at the Door and You Have to Come Get it!

As I began to write this word, my mom, who is also an intercessor, contacted me with a dream that she had overnight and was asking if I had any insight into its interpretation. I felt her dream was significant to this word and wanted to share it. In her dream, she was inside a huge and extravagant house. A postman came to her door and began knocking. When she answered, she saw that he had a number of parcels to deliver, but he informed her the parcels were for a friend of hers. (This friend of hers is also an intercessor.) (Photo via Unsplash)

The postman asked my mom to sign on her friend's behalf for the parcels. He then proceeded to tell her that he had been trying to deliver these parcels to her friend for a long time but whenever he tried knocking on their door, no one was answering or coming to sign for them. So, my mom signed on her friend's behalf and took the parcels inside for safekeeping.

I immediately knew that my mom's dream confirmed this word. The postman represents an angel, a messenger of Heaven, carrying parcels of "strategy" and needed answers to assigned intercessors. However, I believe the friend in her dream represents intercessors who have been restricted from opening the door and signing for their legal rights because they have been engaged in inferior battles, and therefore they have been restrained and unable to get up. I believe God is longing to break His intercessors free from the distractions that have been enslaving and draining them, so they can, "answer the door and receive the parcels".

Interestingly, Nate, my husband, also had a similar dream overnight, where the doorbell rang and he went and answered it. He found a postman waiting in a delivery van in our driveway, and the postman remained in his vehicle. Nate had to walk over to him and sign for the parcel that was addressed to our family before it was handed to him. The postman told Nate, "This is a NEW signing system. You have to come get it!" This signifies a similar picture, except Nate had to walk outside of his comfort zone to take hold of the parcel, signing off in a NEW way.

I believe the parcels in both dreams point prophetically to divine strategies and assignments. I believe God is speaking to His intercessors in this hour to get up, answer the door, get out of your comfort zone and sign for your inheritance. If you're wondering how to do that exactly, I believe the answer to your question will be found below.

New, Divine Blueprints for Intercession – Time to Orchestrate

I heard the Holy Spirit speak to my heart, "There is a missing piece to this word. Before they engage as they used to in the front lines, I want to first take My intercessors into the strategy rooms of Heaven. I am giving them new blueprints and strategies that they can take to the front lines and win the war from a higher perspective."

I then saw a vision of myself overlooking the earth from the heavens. I was with the Holy Spirit as He began to reveal an interactive plan that covered the entirety of the earth. It reminded me of the holographic plans you would see in movies like Star Wars, where a 3D hologram graphic is in motion in a strategy room as the general of the armies articulates to his or her soldiers their militant plans of war. At that moment, the Holy Spirit said to me, "Time to orchestrate." Strangely enough, in the vision, I knew what He was meaning and I began moving my hands in worship as though I was conducting an orchestra.

This set off a profound effect on the hologram. Names of cities and names of people and the problems surrounding them began popping off this holographic-type map and were being highlighted to me. The amazing thing was, I wasn't just seeing the problem, but suddenly a solution and strategy appeared over that person, place or injustice.

"I saw angels of fire released from Heaven at that moment and they flew at the speed of light. They came like blazing torches and they aided the intercessors by breaking their chains and helping them to stand with strength."

With each strategy, I began to pray in agreement with the Father and with what I was seeing. I then saw angel armies being dispatched from Heaven on my command! The Holy Spirit then spoke again to me, "This is where you win the battle. This is the true front line. When you know My strategies, you will know how to decree and you will win the fight with ease."

I believe what the Holy Spirit was showing me was His divine blueprint for the problems we are facing in the world right now. Whether it is our own circumstances, or an issue on a greater scale like abortion, sex-trafficking or surrounding the president of the United States in prayer, there are NEW, divine strategies awaiting those who will choose to worship in this hour.

The Father is unlocking a new realm of INTERCESSION for the intercessors and He is calling you up higher. He is calling you to shake off the dust from the past battles and step into the higher realm. It's time to answer the door because there are parcels awaiting you that carry a higher strategy that you could have never conjured up in your own mind. There are blueprints being drafted right now in Heaven that carry significant breakthrough for the people of God and for the earth where we live.

Worship is Your Weapon

My daughters and I watched a movie together before their bedtime recently, and their choice of movie was called, "SING". I could hardly believe it when a line in the movie literally said, "Your song is your weapon." It reminded me of "orchestrating in worship" with the Holy Spirit. As we worship, we come into the heavenly realm and we are able to conduct His plans with Him as the symphony of Heaven is released over the earth through our song.

Worship is your weapon. It clears your mind and it clouds the enemy's. It moves you into a place of victory. I am constantly reminded lately of the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20. The story is titled: "Jehoshaphat defeats Moab and Ammon", which is kind of comical because all he did was praise. Jehoshaphat and the armies were facing an impossible situation, with multiple armies that well and truly outnumbered them, yet, they didn't lift a finger in the physical battle, except to praise and worship God. They set their faces before Him, and HE defeated their enemies as they watched on in awe. 2 Chronicles 20:22 describes the incredible scene like this: "As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated." (Photo via Unsplash)

I cannot overemphasize this enough: The key, in this hour of intercession, for victory over the impossible situations you might be facing, or that the world is facing around you, is your SONG! Your worship and OUR worship UNITED is the sound that will bring the enemy to his knees, as our Father sets up an AMBUSH against him, and we get to watch on in AWE!

No More Weariness – Only Victory!

I want to declare over you today, if you are an intercessor who has been battle-weary, I COMMAND THE CHAINS BE BROKEN OVER YOU, IN JESUS' NAME! The Father has appointed and anointed you for such a time as this, to stand in the gap, to command and decree, to SING and to STRIKE the GROUND with the STRATEGIES OF HEAVEN! Let the answers of the Father be released through your ROAR!

I pray that the packages carrying the divine blueprints of Heaven would be delivered to your door as you worship your way back to the front lines – the true front lines where you are seated with Christ in heavenly places, no longer fighting insignificant and relentless battles. You are being called back to the front lines in the strategy room, mighty one. It's time to ORCHESTRATE and SING. It's time to set our faces like flint before Him as OUR almighty God fights for us, and we stand still and watch His deliverance unfold before our very eyes!

This guy is incredible!!  Wouldn't it be fun to be able to play like that?!!

"God Bless America and Planet Earth – Another Incredible Suddenly!" Kat Kerr,

A word of encouragement from Kat Kerr:

"God Bless America and Planet Earth – Another Incredible Suddenly!"
Kat Kerr, Jacksonville, FL

Hello family of God, I hope your expectation for celebration is very high right now because if it isn't, it will be because God is about to do another incredible "suddenly" that will impact our lives here in America and get the attention of the world.

You Will Never Have a Boring Day in Your Country

God is going to, once again, validate his choice of Donald Trump being our president. As God said, "Once he takes office you will never have a boring day in your country."

You may not even like Donald Trump, but remember you were not perfect at one time and there is hope for everyone in these days of Heaven on Earth. In case you don't know God's plans for right NOW, this is not the day of His wrath but it is the day of His power and He asks us to be willing to operate with Him to demonstrate and manifest His power and glory so that the world might know Him.

God has assured me that He will continue to support and encourage Trump and his plans to make America great again. God chose him because he was a good businessman, not a pastor. You vote where life is honored and protected and where evil is exposed. God did not tolerate darkness or wickedness in Heaven and neither should we.

God Trusts Him

Recently, the Father was talking to me about more validation for President Trump and evidence against those who have bashed him and lied against him. (Even now there has been more evidence against him that God will expose as false and/embellished.) Individuals are setting up a plan that will seemingly keep him from getting the seats he needs in the mid-election. God has assured me, like you saw during the 2016 election time when he won the presidency, that the masses will vote for life and not darkness. We will all see an amazing, incredible "suddenly" on behalf of Trump and Pence.

Even though the liberal media, the fake news (some will quit and some will be removed), continues to lie about Trump and his efforts to make America great again, God is in charge of His time on Earth and He will have His way. We still must pray and be in agreement, regardless of what is being said against Trump or his administration. Trump was chosen before he was born and cannot escape being great and will continue to recognize God as the creator of all things. God trusts him and we must trust him also. Get ready for many exciting days in America and on this earth.

Bringing Hope Instead of Destruction

We are entering into the days of greater glory and the manifested sons and daughters of God who will shock and stun this world, doing greater works like raising the dead who were cremated or raising the dead en masse—even at the scene of accidents that would've brought great trauma to many people but instead they will rejoice at the power of our God. God is shifting governments around this world and shaping nations to bring hope instead of destruction.

The more you believe it is real the more real it will become. Don't be afraid to run into this new time! Get your crown on and be just like "Them"—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—because we are made in Their image and after Their likeness. With Christ in us and operating in full the dominion He gave us, there's no demon on this earth or under this earth strong enough to keep us from our destiny. It is time to rule and reign with Jesus Christ as joint heirs and crush the plans of the enemy. Go host of Heaven! Pull down the strongholds and bash the enemy as you shred the platforms the hierarchy of Hell have been ruling from. We, as Believers and followers of Christ, will no longer tolerate nor participate with the plans of the enemy.

Connecting the Dots (Reddit Article)

      I haven't posted anything political for quite some time, but after reading this I decided it is time to do so again.  Aren't we so tired of all the Trump attacks?  If the press and the liberals who are so upset with his election would leave him alone for awhile, we could see some real change in America.  Of course, that's why they don't leave him alone.  They were on a fast track to making this a socialist country and got stopped in their tracks.  How wonderful!
      I can't for the life of me see why anyone who is living off the fruit of this land, making millions and billions of dollars, particularly movie stars, athletes, college students, etc. presidents/founders of corporations like Apple,  Facebook, Google, etc. can show their faces proclaiming how terrible America is when it is the capitalist system that has enabled them to be who they are.  They should be embarrassed.  Such hypocrites!!
         I pray this all comes to the forefront and these people are held accountable for the crimes they have committed.

This article was posted on Reddit.com  Here is the link.  

Connecting the Dots

I am passing this on from someone who's connecting some dots with input from sources he cannot reveal.

Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together

It smells like conspiracy and treason. Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important......

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

A Grand Jury had been impanelled.

Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.

Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

Look who took over this investigation in 2005: None other than James Comey; Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other than, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner. Isn’t that interesting?

But this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?

Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?

No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States,

Rod Rosenstein.

Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?

Another coincidence (just an anomaly in statistics and chances), but it was Robert Mueller.

What do all four casting characters have in common?

They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.

Another coincidence, right?

Fast forward to 2009....

James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.

Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal email server.

The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of the Hillary.

Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.

Now you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t, America got absolutely nothing out of it.

However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech; then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.

Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.

Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame? Yep, He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.

Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland?

None other than, Rod Rosenstein. And what happened to the informant?

The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.

How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?

Very soon after; the sale was approved!~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal.

Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, - Lois Lerner.

Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2015.

Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that the Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server.He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.

Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary. .

Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? None other than James Comey; who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer? Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?

Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope.... couldn’t find any crimes there.

In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy.They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury!

Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 8th of 2016, and exonerates the Hillary from any wrongdoing.

Do you see the pattern?

It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General,Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.

FISA Abuse, political espionage..... pick a crime, any crime, chances are...... this group and a few others did it:

All the same players.

All compromised and conflicted.

All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves

All connected in one way or another to the Clinton's.

They are like battery acid; they corrode and corrupt everything they touch.How many lives have these two destroyed?

As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.

Let us not forget that Comey's brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.

The person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies?

Yep, that would be Hillary R. Clinton.

Now who is LISA BARSOOMIAN? Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.

Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller.

Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.

Lawrence also represented:

Robert Mueller three times;

James Comey five times;

Barack Obama 45 times;

Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;

Bill Clinton 40 times; and

Hillary Clinton 17 times.

Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.

You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?

Apparently, someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?). Someone out there cares so much that even the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.

Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. Although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa Barsoomian at NIH.gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health. This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities.

It’s a cover, so big deal right? What does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?

It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and-the Russians.

Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?

BECAUSE….

She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE!

New Sloppy Joe Recipe

I thought I might as well post this recipe I found for Sloppy Joes so I can find it again.  Country Guy said it is his favorite of all I have tried.  I will post it on the Recipes #1 page also.

Sloppy Joes

1 lb ground beef

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 small onion chopped

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1⁄4 cup catsup

1⁄4 cup bbq sauce

1+ tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

salt and pepper

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 -1 tablespoon vinegar  ( I prefer 1/2 T.)

Directions:

In a large skillet, brown ground beef, celery and onion.  Drain the fat.

Stir in remaining ingredients, simmer covered, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If too sloppy, leave cover off and let moisture evaporate.

More Peaches

       I picked most of the rest of the peaches--still from the same tree--today!  Fortunately, I have my trusty Mule.  I backed it under the tree and was able to reach most of them by standing in, or on the sides of the bed.
        What a great harvest we have had!   I'm surprised they have been such good peaches both in taste and quality.  There have been hardly any worms in these from this tree.  We had a yellow peach tree ripen earlier and almost every peach had a worm in it!
       As I mentioned before, we have had critters eat them the last few years before I could pick them, so I've picked them in stages just in case they come during the night to gobble up the rest.  This year for some reason, except for the deer that could reach the bottom branches, we haven't had a problem.
        The preserves and those I have put in the freezer are going to be so good this winter!

!

Peaches

         Our white peach tree has been loaded with peaches this year, so much so that some of the branches have broken.  Here is part of the harvest.  I probably could have waited a couple more days but the last time I decided to wait another day, raccoons or squirrels ate every peach on the tree the night before.  How disappointing!

I have already frozen several 2 cup packages to use in the Fruit Cobbler recipe on this blog.  And then yesterday I tried making peach preserves which I had never made before.  I found the following recipe online.  It was excellent, so I am also adding it to the Miscellaneous section of Recipes #2 page.

One of our grandsons and his girlfriend plan to come over one night this week to help me make more since  I've already given away half of that I made yesterday.

The Best Peach Preserves Recipe

8 cups pitted, peeled* peaches, cut in a 1-inch dice

Zest of half a lemon

4 Tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

6 Tablespoons classic fruit pectin

7 cups white sugar

1 Tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

           (I cut down on the spices significantly because I was afraid they would overpower the peaches.  I used about 1/2 tsp. from a tube of fresh ginger I found in the produce department at the grocery store because they didn't have crystallized ginger, 1/8 t. nutmeg, and a little less than the 1/8 t. ground cloves.  I did not use the lemon zest, but I also I didn't reduce the salt or cinnamon since I love cinnamon.)

Instructions:

Begin boiling water in the canning pot. The water should be two inches over the height of the jars. Heat jars, lids and bands in simmering (not boiling) water until ready to use. Remove with tongs and set on dry paper towels.

*You can use the same pot to peel your peaches. Drop 4 or 5 peaches at a time into the simmering water for 45 seconds. Immediately remove peaches and drop in a large bowl of ice water for 20-30 seconds. You should easily be able to slip the skin right off the peaches. 

In a 6- to 8-quart saucepan, set to medium-high heat, bring the peaches and lemon juice to a boil. Lightly mash the peaches (this will help thicken the jam).

Add the pectin and quickly return the mixture to a boil. Stirring constantly, gradually add the sugar.

All at once, stir in the ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, reserved lemon zest and salt, and continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Remove from heat. Skim any foam off the top.

Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe rim with wet paper towel. Center lid on jar. Screw on the band until firmly in place.

Process in the boiling water bath 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool. Check lids after 24 hours; they should not flex when center is pressed.

Label and date your jars. Peach jam will keep up to two years.

It is Time to Occupy the Kingdom of God on Earth, by Jo Ellen Stevens

This excellent word was posted on The Elijah List last week:

"It's Time to Occupy the Kingdom of God on Earth!"  Jo Ellen Stevens, Connersville, IN

We are entering into something called "the Kingdom age" but God is trying to change people's mindsets about the way that we do things as His Body, the Church. Our thinking has been that we should sit on a pew and wait for the Lord to come and rescue us before this world gets too dark, when Jesus said it plainly in Luke 19:12-13, "He said therefore, 'A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, "Occupy till I come."'"

Execute the Victory He Has Already Won!

Many of us are storing our ten pounds in fear of what the "gloomers and doomers" are saying instead of occupying. When Jesus saved us and filled us with the Holy Spirit, giving us gifts, talents, houses, churches and lands, it wasn't so He could get us out of here right away. No, He said to OCCUPY! He is looking for an occupying army to raise up since He has ALREADY WON THE WAR!

This is the meaning of an occupying army (or "military occupation") according to Google: "Control and possession of hostile territory that enables an invading nation to establish military government against an enemy or martial law against rebels or insurrectionists in its own territory."

And this is the Greek translation of the word "occupy" in Luke 19: "To be occupied in anything; to carry on a business; specifically, to carry on the business of a banker or trader."

Carry Out His Kingdom Business

See, Jesus died and gave His life and destroyed principalities and powers and rendered them illegal in the earth, and now we have been given the power of the Holy Spirit, the name of Jesus, the gifts, talents, and all that pertains to life and godliness to OCCUPY THESE PLACES ON EARTH THAT HE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR! Jesus said that we are to pray, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven." Hmm, to me this is saying that He wants us to bring Heaven to Earth at least while we still have life and breath!

God wants us to carry on HIS KINGDOM BUSINESS and, according to the Greek translation for the word "occupy" we are "specifically to carry on the business of a BANKER OR TRADER." We need to be doing His banking business. Whatever He has given us right now, He is expecting us to do His business with it! He is wanting us to take control and possession of the hostile territory that the insurrectionist (the devil and his cohorts) are still trying to occupy!

God is calling many right now to "CHANGE THEIR MINDSET ABOUT HEAVEN AND EARTH!" Yes, He is coming, but He is coming for a glorious Church occupying and taking care of the business that He has given us here in the earth!

How will You Bring the Kingdom to Earth?

Jesus has placed the Kingdom within us! He said in Luke 17:20-21, "And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, 'The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, "Lo here! or, lo there!" for, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.'" He also told His disciples in Matthew 10:7-8, "And as ye go, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.'" So truly, to bring the Kingdom to Earth we must go with what we have and release the Kingdom by giving these gifts that He has given us to those who are bound by the darkness!

The Lord is saying:

"I am calling those out of the earth to arise as an occupying force in the earth and execute the victory that I have already won! I am calling them to occupy the places in the earth that in years past the enemy thought he had in the bag! These are the dark places of the earth! I did not call you to curse those in darkness, but to BRING LIGHT TO THOSE IN THE DARKNESS.

"I have given you all things and equipped you with talents and gifts and in this season, I am going to give those who have been faithful and trustworthy the money to finance their expanded vision that I have given them. There is nothing that can stop this occupying force in these days, but you must change your mindset from chaos to Kingdom and from wanting Me to slay all of the evil ones to bringing My salvation to them. I am in the process of renewing minds about this. I am doing this in answer to the prayers of the righteous as I did for Abraham's family as he prayed! I am long suffering and a merciful God and My mercy triumphs over judgment. The harvest is white. As you see the darkness, arise and intercede for Me to open their eyes during these times of deep darkness and tragedy."

Speak to the Darkness! Call Heaven to Earth!

"Begin to speak to the darkness. Begin to call Heaven to Earth. You are the occupying force, My people! You have been given the authority. You have the Word in your mouth and My name as your power of attorney. You have been given both power and authority. Go and shine in the darkness. Shine on these places that the enemy thinks he owns. Use your Kingdom knowledge to do My business on Earth. You have My wisdom, My weapons and My angel army at your bidding. You have everything that Heaven has inside of you, and in your mouth is the power of My name and Word. Call those things that be not as though they already are. Decree a thing and it will be established. It is time to arise and OCCUPY TILL I COME!"

"And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading." (Luke 19:15 NKJV) 

Arise Shine!

“His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor.” (Isa. 9:6)

Have you ever been defeated by negative thoughts and feelings such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man? Yes, there is! It is built on your ability to commune with God and to receive a freshly spoken word from the Holy Spirit within your heart. This teaching series will show you the way to emotional wholeness through personal interaction with Almighty God within your spirit, as it is recorded in your journal. A genuine word from the Lord heals the broken-hearted. All the “how to” books can never do what a rhema word from God can do for the inner man. You will learn to let God speak to your heart and counsel you about the pressures of life such as anger, doubt, depression, condemnation and inferiority. You will learn to let God replace these with His opposites, as His voice releases His grace within your heart. Those whom the Son sets free are free indeed! Would you like to discover... How can I tell if a thought is coming from self, satan, or God? What's the difference between condemnation and Holy Spirit conviction? How do I create an impure heart, and how can it be restored? How did Abraham use the 5 senses of his spirit to birth something great? Are all of my painful memories actually lies? How did Elijah move from faith to fear? How do I quit being motivated by guilt once and for all? What's wrong with loving justice? What is the quickest way to change my perspective from anger to love? What are the main doorways through which depression enters my life? How can I possibly see God in every situation? From August 15-20, I am posting this full set of training videos which demonstrate how to be Counseled by God (2 videos per day). This is one of the foundational messages that the Lord has had me sharing over the last three decades, and the testimonies we get from it are so powerful! Click here and register to watch this complete video series for free.

“The Counseled by God course is worth a million dollars to me. It moved the issues of life from the theoretical and theological right down into the heart. In the second chapter Mark made this outrageous statement that every accusative thought is of the Accuser, and every positive, life-giving, up-building thought is from the Holy Spirit, the giver of life. I realized that 80 percent of my own thinking was negative. It so smote me in my heart. I prayed, 'God, this is completely unacceptable - completely! I cannot go through my life with 80 percent of my mind yielded to the enemy, to the Accuser!'” Dr. John Arnott, Founding Pastor of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (from "The Importance of Forgiveness" pages 7,8)

So sign up and invite your friends to join you for this training series which empowers you to experience emotional wholeness through listening to the voice of the Wonderful Counselor. Blessings, Dr. Mark VirklerPresident of Christian Leadership University and founder of CWG Ministries P.S. Are you ready to stop trying to “counsel” yourself, to talk yourself out of whatever painful emotion is eating away at your heart? Are you ready to admit that logic and reasoning are never going to take away this depression? Are you ready to give the Wonderful Counselor a chance to finally replace the negativity and darkness in your spirit with joy and light?

Square One. Chris Beat Cancer Free Screening August 14-24 - Link

I watched this last year and was very impressed!  Therefore, I am posting the link here in hopes that more of you will share it with those you know who have cancer, or who fear having cancer.  It is so encouraging and helps to take much fear from the diagnosis, I think.  If you haven't already done so, I also highly recommend reading the free online book, Victory Over Cancer, by Dr. Rath, which I linked to in a post a few days ago.

This is the email I received promoting the free screening of Square One so I have cut & pasted it.

Hey Gang!

If you haven't heard, I'm putting SQUARE ONE online for free again this year August 14-24th. 

Many of you found out about SQUARE ONE through last year's free screening and a number of you have reached out asking how to help share it with people you care about! Thank you!!!

Here's the link to share the trailer page on social media: 

squareone.chrisbeatcancer.com/go 

If you don't know the way the free screening works, one module airs each day for 10 days. And each module is only available to watch for 24 hours. 

A lot of cancer patients are skeptical about nutrition and natural non-toxic therapies, and many feel hopeless and powerless... They don't understand that their choices matter and that they have the power to change their life and restore their health.

The 10-day free screening gives them the opportunity to tune in and be enlightened, inspired, and encouraged, and hopefully will prompt them to join our community and take massive action to change their life.

Here's the share link again. Thanks!

To your life and health!
