Kevin Zadai on Sid Roth

Jesus gave Kevin Zadai this prayer during a 5 ½ hour encounter in heaven on 08-12-2020. In the vision, the Lord told Keven about the next 11 years. Kevin wanted all believers to pray this prayer together to accomplish God’s purposes for us, the believers. He said it was especially important for us to pray for ourselves and for the USA during this time before the election. Pray for God’s purposes to come forth to turn the enemy's plan back at the gate, to bring indictments, and bring forth righteousness in this nation. He said this is a very serious time.

If we, as the Body of Christ do not engage with our Father, we could easily see all hell being released through China’s weaponized bio-weapons over these next few months. Kevin said the Father has promised if we do our part, with intentionality we would see Roe vs. Wade overturned in our land and the curse to be lifted. This will help us fulfill our destiny as a nation and as His people.

Kevin said, pray this prayer through once, and you will witness for yourself how little the investment of your time and attention it is, but it will help you and serve the Lord’s purposes. Pray it every day, at least until the election. God bless you richly in all wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and may you be found with your lamp filled with oil.

(I have modified for easy recitation by you, the reader.)

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for a Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation-Knowledge right now; that we would know experientially the hope to which we have been called and the glorious inheritance we possess as Your saints. Father, may we know and experience the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.

We pray that the Spirit of God would be able to speak the truth right now to each of us as believers, that we will hear and recognize Your voice. Father, we ask that You would show us our future and what our part is in this generation; in these times and seasons. Show us what we can do. Teach us how to bind and loose.

Father, we bind the evil now and we ask that righteousness would prevail and reign in-and-from this moment on, right now! Jesus, pull Your Sword! Bring to justice every evil; every agenda that is not of You; bring it down into captivity, to the obedience of Christ, right now! Suddenly’s released!

We pray for every leader. We pray for our President that the anointing of JOY be upon him and every leader in our nation. Let Your yoke-breaking power be upon them and your protection from the evil around them.

We pray that the justice system would have eyes that see into the spirit realm. As believer’s all over the world, we lay the ax (the weapon You have given us) at the root and we ask that You would dissect the evil and its power. Cut it off, Father. Separate the evil one from their ability to deceive and bring mayhem. We agree as touching this one thing.

Most importantly, Father, we repent. We take accountability for our actions and our beliefs and we turn our face back to You, Father, in sincere, obedient devotion. Heal our land. Heal our land. May the fire of the Holy Spirit consume every evil and the chaff in our lives and in the lives of those who are in leadership. You are a consuming FIRE.

Father, may the Spirit of prophecy start to work in our leadership where they start to speak by Your Spirit and their will is turned and they become a new person, living for You. Visit every household with FIRE.

Thank You for the JOY, Lord! Let Your will be DONE in these earthen vessels and upon and within the earth as it is written in heaven. 

Father, strengthen Attorney General Barr and the entire team working for him with Your Spirit, Wisdom, Knowledge, Power, and Might that they may faithfully and fully execute all Your justice and judgments in our land.

Father, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

In the Name above all Names, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Amen.

Witches Invitation by Carman Licciardello

Back in the day, when I was in my late teens, early twenty's there was a Christian singer named, Carmen.  As far as I know, he only did Christian events after giving his heart to Christ and he is still around today, bringing the love of God to people through music. He has walked with the Lord for years now and has a gift for song-writing/story telling.  

Years ago, an evangelist named Mario Murillo, was doing a chapel service at Oral Robert's University (ORU) and Carman (Licciardello) was also invited to the chapel, doing the worship.  Carmen stayed at the piano when Mario took the pulpit, just be ready if Mario wanted some back-up music so Carman now had a front-seat view to the story Mario was about to tell.  

Mario started his time teaching with a story. He began talking about an invitation he had received from a man while preaching in the campus of the University of California, Berkley (Berkeley).  A man name Isaac Bonewits came up to Mario and began to compare his god (satan) to the God of Mario, Jehovah .

Mario found out later that Bonewits was one of the only people ever to receive an accredited bachelor of arts degree from Berkeley with a major in witchcraft.  Mario goes on to tell of how Bonewits left their meeting by giving him his business card inviting him to come and chat more regarding their "gods".  Mario never responded to this invite, so later, Bonewits actually sent a written invitation to Murillo to continue the conversation. Mario thought he would not go and meet him so he threw the invite in the trash but on the way to the can, the Lord told Mario that he should go and meet with him.  Here is the link to the full story of Mario sharing what happened regarding this invitation on the blog called Encounter Today.

Remember now that Carman was sitting there on the same stage with Mario as Mario is telling the whole story to the ORU students so being the great song-writer he is, he took the event and wrote a song. He named the song, Witches Invitation. Here is the link to the video of Carman at a live event, where he played the video, Witches Invitation.

I remember when this song came out and just loved it. I had no idea then that it was from a real event.  My mom used to listen to Mario Murillo back in the day, but I didn't know the two of them were connected until I came across this testimony by Mario last week.  This song was one of my favorites by Carman and many of the Christians I ran with at the time loved it as well. 

From what Mario says, Carman did change the name of the character from his real name of Bonewits to Horowitz in the song but most of the other details follow perfectly the song to what Mario said happened; all except the closing words about  wanting to "rumble with a man of God".  Amazing!

So true! Our God has bought us with the blood of Jesus and satan has to let us go! Never a more true statement ever spoken!  

The Turning 2020 - a 70 day prayer and fasting event.

As we approach the 2020 ELECTIONS. Let us join together, as ONE VOICE, and we pray for our nation. We are not just praying for revival but we are praying for a REFORMATION of men’s hearts throughout the world. We need the fire of the Holy Spirit to usher in a new era of awakening around the globe. Declare these verses with me!

A. As with any time of prayer, I encourage you to begin with Praising the Lord (Psalm 150:1-6, Psalms 95:1-11, Psalm 24:8-10) for who He is and what He has done! Greet Him by lavishing your love upon and to Him!

B. Then, ask the Lord to search your heart (ASK HIM TO SHOW YOU what you don’t see in your heart) to bring those hidden things to your attention; ANYTHING that is there that is blocking your prayers from being heard.

C. Then DEAL WITH WHAT HE TELLS YOU; this is called repentance. Repentance is what cleans us, making us righteous. It opens wide heaven’s gates which allows us entrance into the throne room of grace before our Holy and Righteous God. We MUST confess our sin — this is not a one-and-done (salvation) as many people have been taught; this is a CONTINUING conversation. For clarity, we all know about the “biggie” sins (10 commandments and such, and most of us stay clear of those — right?), but those sins are not the only sins needing repentance. The Word of the Lord says this in James 4:17 — to him who knows what is right and does it not, it is sin. This is why I say we need to ask the Lord to show us because we don’t always remember our sin, or we call it other things like; procrastination, forgetfulness, we didn’t think we needed to, it was important to us... you get the idea. Father, search my heart, and know me; see if there is any wicked way in me! — Psalms 139: 23-24. We give the Lord permission to KNOW us intimately.

D. Take Communion! I HIGHLY encourage you to be taking communion; as OFTEN as you do, you are REMEMBERING HIM and PROCLAIMING HIS COMING (I Corinthians 11:25-26, Matthew 26: 26-28, Luke 22:17-20)! It was the last thing our Lord did with His disciples so let’s do this in remembrance of ALL He has done!

E. And then they sang a hymn (Matthew 26:30). So let’s Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth – John 4:24 (PSALMS 95:6, Isaiah 12:5, Psalm 29:2, Psalm 95:1-6)!

F. Regarding fasting: I encourage you to ask the Lord what He would have you fast — invite Him into the conversation. We do all everything we do WITH THE LORD! We should never think we can do ANYTHING FOR the Lord (that’s works). We INVITE HIM into every conversation and ask Him... He DELIGHTS in talking with us, His children.

May you encounter the Lord in new and glorious ways during these days leading up to the election. This is our time of decision... and GOD IS FAITHFUL to those who seek Him (Deuteronomy 7:9, I Corinthians 1:9, Psalms 91:4, 2 Thessalonians 3:3)! Friends, let’s take time to FIND the Lord while He may be found! Maranatha

And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

21. Ephesians 5:14-21 ESV For anything that becomes visible is light.

The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.

This is not about the "new normal" but a "NEW ERA"

The Lord is speaking to me about the times and seasons we are living in. We have all heard many people talk about this lie called the "new normal". Those words just hit something in me, and in pursuing the Lord about it, I felt Him challenge me about what statements like this would look like, if we were sitting around heaven and talking about what is going on. God ALWAYS gives us an upgrade. His latter is always greater. He makes things new. Old things pass away and behold, He makes ALL THINGS NEW. So I began to explore this with the Lord. In doing so, he took me to a couple places in scriptures and He used the wording, a New Era.

Let's dive into Mark 4:1-13, The Parable of the Sower — Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge.

2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:

3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.

8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”

9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.

11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables

12 so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’ ”

13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?

14 The farmer sows the word.

15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;

19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.

20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

The point I want to bring to your attention is what is the "soil" of your life and what does it look like? When treasures of the Kingdom are released unto you, which type of soil is reflective in your life. Jesus spoke this parable and then later on in the evening, the disciples wanted to gain understanding of what He was sharing. Jesus starts with, if you can't understand this parable, you will have a hard time understanding ANY parable. WOW - seems there is something rather important in this text we need to grasp and it is foundational to unlocking the things to come. Jesus goes on to compare PEOPLE with the seed. as soon as people hear the Word that is sown, something starts to happen, just like a seed in the ground. Jesus starts with the seed sown along the path and tells them that this is just like people but rather than the birds of the air stealing the seed, Jesus says it is Satan himself who comes to steal the Word of God from us. The second scenario in the parable is about the seed that fell on the rocky places, where the seed tried to spring up, but because there was no root (or deep soil) the plants spouted but died under the heat of the environment. Jesus said this is like people who hear the Word with joy, but because they are young in the Lord, or not discipled, they have no root and after a short time, when trouble or persecution comes int their life, they fall away.

The third example was the seed that is sown among thorns, these seeds get choked out by the "thorns". These are people who hear the Word but still maintain their worldly ways. They think they are ok being among the thorns. When we come to Christ and new revelation of His ways, that usually requires a shift on our part because we are not like Him. We need to cut off things that are deadly or thought processes that are apart from God. We need to turn. People who don't shift away have mixture, and eventually the things of God get choked out of the lives because of the thorns growing next to them.

Lastly we have the seed that is sown in the GOOD soil. This soil is a teachable heart. This soil is a heart that desires God at all costs. This heart shifts and turns and obeys. When we allow God to have His way in our heart, then we grow and produce good fruit; a fruit that remains. We want to be like the seed that lands in the GOOD SOIL and produces a GREAT, MULTIPLYING harvest. We choose these soils. We have a part to play.

We need the Lord to renew our minds, change our way of thinking. We need to shift from living from our soul (our mind, our will, and our emotions) to living from our Born Again Spirit.

Ephesians 3:19 — ... and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Colossians 2:9-10 — For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, ad in Him, you have been made complete, and His is the head over all rule and authority.

James 1:22-25 — Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it - not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it - they will be blessed in what they do.

What is incredible to me is how God is speaking around the globe pieces of what He is doing. Just this week I read these following two words from two separate Godly women. They speak into this same theme as well. God is moving; even when we can't see Him!

WE NEED PERSONAL DELIVERANCE BEFORE WE CAN GET NATIONAL DELIVERANCE
by Wanda Alger, August 20, 2020

 

We are dealing with major principalities in this nation and across the earth. Religious and political spirits are clogging up the system and binding up the Church with endless rules and protocols that are silencing our witness. The Jezebel spirit is manifesting through politicians and tyrannical leaders given to greed and power, and their witchcraft is fueling increased lawlessness and anarchy. Leviathan is overwhelming our senses with futility, confusion, and a fear of impending doom. These demonic strongholds must come down and displaced by those who carry legitimate authority from heaven.

 

The challenge is that many believers are being oppressed and harassed by these spirits and it is limiting our corporate authority in prayer. Through my own deliverance from these spirits several years ago, I learned just how easy it is for even Spirit-filled believers to get hooked by these ungodly mindsets due to negative experiences and offenses. Once delivered and set free, I saw an immediate upgrade in my intercession and an increase of authority against these powers and principalities.

 

If we want to see the Religious spirit defeated, we have to give up our own sacred cows and methods of ministry. Our revelations from yesterday may need to be adjusted to make room for Holy Spirit to give us an upgrade for today. We must cut the unhealthy soul ties with our past and clear the way for a transforming future.

 

If we want to see Jezebel defeated, we have to repent of the ways we have rebelled against our leaders, especially in the Church. The spirit of rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and as long as believers hold on to offenses against leaders who have done them wrong, we will never have legitimate authority to displace wicked rulers or demonic hordes.

 

If we want to be free of Leviathan's grip that suffocates our witness, confuses our clarity, and robs us of faith, we have to renounce our fears and our need to understand everything. Our trust cannot be in the systems of men or our own human reasoning. Only God reigns supreme and His Kingdom ways are much higher than ours.

 

Yes, we must bind and loose, rebuke and renounce, and take a righteous stand. But, we must also clear out our own closets. We have been given spiritual authority over the works of darkness, but its up to us to remove any roadblocks that prevent us from using it.

And finally, there is this word... IT IS THE LORD CHANGING THE TABLES

by Lana Vawser, August 20, 2020

 Recently I had an encounter with the Lord and I saw Jesus and He was walking up to His people that were sitting at tables and I knew that these tables represented ALIGNMENTS and MODELS. As He walked up to these tables He began to speak to His people and He said "It is time to CHANGE TABLES"

 

Immediately I was surrounded by the sense of the new era we have entered and the importance of drawing close to the Lord and hearing His voice and leading for where we are aligned, how we are aligned, and how we are to build with Him. The sense surrounded me so strongly that the "model" of how things have been done, is rapidly changing. The Lord has been speaking to me for years about the changing of the wineskin and the time that was coming upon us in a new era where we would have to follow Him and know His ways to move into the new thing that He was going to do (Isaiah 43:19) that would be completely unprecedented.

 

Now, in this encounter, what struck me was the weight upon the voice of the Lord when He spoke "It's TIME to change tables". I began to see other tables that were set for the people of God in this new era. New strategies, new ways of doing things, a new 'model', and new 'alignments' with people.

 

This encounter was communicating in SO many ways, the IMPORTANCE of alignment in this hour and be aligned with Jesus in our hearts, our deeds, our actions, our obedience, our lives, our ministries. Every area of our lives to be in total alignment with Him and not to 'remain at a table' because that's where we have always sat or how it has always been.

 

The Lord has had me release this prophetic word to encourage the people of God, to not stay in the comfortable or familiar seat because of fear of what others with think, fear of offending people, fear of the new. The truth is, the tables that the Lord has set before His people in this new era are more glorious than ever before and the Lord showed me that many are feeling a 'heavy oppressive frustration' right now and the 'ease' that once was, is no longer, and that is because it's time to change tables. It's time to take your seat a new table.

 

I heard the Lord say "Don't apologise for changing tables and don't make excuses for having to change tables". When He spoke those words I could feel this very strong sense of the fear of man that would be the hurdle that many would need to overcome in taking their place at the new tables. Follow in the leading of the Holy Spirit into these new tables and embrace them with everything you have.

 

I also saw the beautiful comfort of the Holy Spirit embracing those who are changing tables and coming out of alignment with people they have built with before and moving into new ventures with the Lord and the sadness in the heart that comes with the 'breaking away'. The comfort of the Holy Spirit is upon you and He is pouring His love, peace, and refreshing upon you as you move to the new tables the Lord has for you.

 

I saw Jesus sitting at the new tables and He was waiting for His people to take their seat. As many begun to come and take their seat at the new tables with the Lord, I was struck with the depth of encounter that happened at those tables with the Lord. The encounters looking into the fiery eyes of Jesus that were so deep and so intimate.

 

The new tables await you. Don't be afraid to move to the new tables. It requires obedience, boldness, and courage. Don't stay at the same table because of comfort or fear. You want to be at the table Jesus is sitting at and calling you into, for there you will find Him.

You want to be sitting with Jesus at the table He is calling you to. It's time to take your seat at the new tables.

In closing, the Lord reminded me of Moses as he led the people out of Egypt.  They continually grumbled and wanted to go back to Egypt.  The didn't trust the Lord with the NEW, what was before them, the upgrade.  Let us not be the same as the Israelites.  We too have come through a Passover, and we too are in the desert.  Let us not make a 40 day journey into 40 years! Let us take time to find the Lord in this NEW era!  Hebrews 10:39

We Pray America

Father God,

We will not be shaken and we will not be moved! We are like trees planted by the rivers of water. Our roots are deep. It is settled in our hearts and minds. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Oh, yes!

We will not be moved by this vile covid virus. We rebuke it back to the dust. We declare it dead. In Jesus' name. We will not be moved with the hypocrisy of this government and their exaggerated covid antics. We will not be moved by their fear-mongering. We will not be moved by their shaming. We rebuke them back to the dust. In Jesus' name.

We are moved to call upon the church of the living God to rise up! Pastors rise up! Rise up and be strong and immovable in the face of this disaster. The world needs the church! America needs the church! America needs to see the church pull together and offer hope and freedom. Not fear, shame, and bondage. O, Lord. Who will rise up? Who will rise up?

We cry out for this Nation being consumed by fear. We cry out for this Nation besieged from within and without by misguided youth, Antifa, and Marxists. O Mighty One. We do not cry out with fear. We cry out with holy boldness. We cry out with righteous anger. Like Jesus in the temple. Oh yes! Remove them and cast them out the door.

Jesus went into the temple courtyard and threw out everyone who was buying and selling there. He overturned the moneychangers’ tables and the chairs of those who sold pigeons. He told them. My house will be called a house of prayer, but you’re turning it into a gathering place for thieves! In Jesus' name. We declare every gathering place of wickedness, death, and destruction be dismantled and thrown out the door!

We cry out with holy righteous anger against every judge, mayor, governor, or city official rising up against the church. We rebuke this demonic attack on the church! In Jesus’ name. Casinos open. Church closed. Airplanes packed. Church closed. Riots and protests overflow. Church closed. Oh! The hypocrisy of the government and the fear in the church! Wake up. Get up. Open the doors of the church and let the king of glory enter in!

In Jesus' name. We bind every seducing spirit set up over our leaders. We bind the spirit of Jezebel set up over our nation’s capital and every capital and major city in America. We bind every lying spirit setup over the false prophets of media. We bind every plot, plan, and scheme setup over President Trump and his Administration. We bind these sex trafficking monsters with a millstone around their neck and plunge them to an eternal abyss of fire.

With the Lord of the Angel Armies by our side and a razor-sharp, two-edged sword in his mouth. We stand up in the face of the enemy with our faces set like flint! We declare like the prophet of old. Let my people go!

So be it!

Born Alive and Those Legislators Who Have Blood on their Hands...

This discussion is so troubling, on so many levels.

Years ago, when I was pregnant with my third child, a friend of mine who was also pregnant with her fourth baby had some issues in her pregnancy. Her due date was a month before mine. Halfway through her pregnancy, she delivered her baby. Her baby was taken to the local Children’s Hospital for intensive care treatment. During that week, I went to the hospital and held her little girl to pray and comfort her. She fit in the palm of my hand. For your reference, her sweet little head was around the size of a lime. She looked fully normal albeit she was incredibly tiny. She responded to touch, noise, singing; I know because I sang over her. She just melted into my hand as the peace of God filled the space of the cold, sterile room. Her nurses were kind and loving but as we know, hospitals can be very difficult in the effort to keep germs out.

It was a terribly sad event when little "Hope" stepped into Glory. Their whole family grieved the loss of this premature life after only one week of being on the planet. If you ever hold a little child like that in your hand, it will change you forever.

 

I’ve ministered to many women who have had abortions; so this post is not about shaming, it’s about changing. Many of the women I have ministered to, YEARS after their abortions, still need ministry as they experienced so much shame because of their secret, dark closet. God can heal and redeem ALL that is lost but we have to humble ourselves and confess our sins, then He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and heal us of all our unrighteousness.

 
Killing a child who survives an abortion is a notch higher in the scale of depravity and should be prosecuted instead of condoned. People who support such wickedness should not be re-elected to any office.

We have a national election coming up in just over 75 days; who will you vote for?  I pray you choose LIFE and vote for Donald Trump.  God will deal with those who elected people who allow the slaughter of our children.  God hates the shedding of innocent blood and many in our nation have blood on their hands.
 
Jesus, forgive us as a nation for the evil we justify. 😢
