Examining the Days

Those who are closely aligned with AIM are well aware that for at least 11 years we have recognized that we are locked in spiritual warfare the likes of which are unprecedented.  Over the past 2 weeks and at a higher level, evil continues to lurk in our government, streets, schools, marketplaces and homes.  In May of 2018, AIM addressed the war and began to regularly pray in our Intercessory prayer meetings for EXPOSURE, ACCOUNTABILITY AND JUSTICE.  One of our prayer foundations has been Psalm 89:14.  Speaking of God, we declare “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne”…

The burden on my heart is that unfortunately many Christians are not awake or aware that spiritual warfare is real, and they go about their day spiritually insensitive.  It’s as if they are blind and deaf.  Many Pastors have not prepared their people for spiritual combat—perhaps they aren’t aware, and therefore their people are exposed to the wolves.  However, I guarantee you that if you are seeing and experiencing violence, illness/affliction, constant harassment, etc., the battles are already raging in the spiritual realm.  In Daniel 10, Daniel was exposed to the warfare to which I refer.  In this passage, an “unnamed” angel speaks and says:

10:13“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.  10:14  Now I have come to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days, for the vision is for [many] days yet to come.” (AMP Bible)

Yes, there definitely is a spirit realm, and yes, great warfare takes place there between the Heavenly Host and satan’s demonic forces.

However, although levels of warfare have increased recently, I believe that In the last few weeks, some answers to our prayers are being realized.  Major players of evil are being exposed and seemingly are to be held accountable.  But, it has not been without a cost.  Battles in the spiritual and natural realms have been seen against Christian leaders, and their ministry events have been challenged—such as Sean Feucht’s “Let Us Worship” tour in Canada of the past week.  (Bus wreck, smoke bombs hurled at platforms, paid and scheduled venues forced to cancel, wives and children death threats, and police “protecting” a communion service) Even we AIM leaders have seen our members struggle against illness, affliction, events, and assignments disrupted by enemy forces.  All to keep the Ekklesia from fulfilling their calls to ministry.  However, unyielding prayer and firm engagement is working.  The enemy is in confusion, chaos in his camp is evident, and it appears justice is on the way for exposed evil acts.

“Nothing is new under the sun.” (Ecc 1:9)  In our AIM Bible Studies, we have clearly seen that the things we have been witnessing in this season were going on some 600 years before the birth of Jesus.  All of these prophets, Micah, Habakkuk, Amos and Isaiah, prophesied against conditions of oppression, control of the poor and oppressed, ungodly and immoral behaviors, theft and lying during their time on earth.  Reading these prophets is like observing the news of today.  But today, the extent of worldwide blatant demonstration of evil and the extreme depth of evil among leaders and against people is just unprecedented.  The antichrist spirit has been trying to dismantle God’s purposes and plans, but, God, the Heavenly Host with the engagement of the Ekklesia, and the power of the Holy Spirit will see “Hamon occupy his own gallows” once again.

Basic Instructions for Spiritual Warfare Engagement

Let me help you and encourage your preparation for war.  It is important if you are going to engage in war, to know about your own strengths and weaknesses.  It is important to know all you can about the “land” on which you are fighting and the make-up (attitudes, strengths, weaknesses) of your enemy.  2 Cor.: 10:3-6 provides us with the initial information we need:

2Co 10:3  (3-4) For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. :5  We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. :6  Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience. (TPT Bible)

As I said above, if you see warfare going on in the natural realm, you can be guaranteed that it has already been going on in the heavenly spiritual realm.  Ephesians 6:12 tells us clearly with whom and where the true battle lies:

Eph 6:12  Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. (TPT Bible)

Eph 6:13-18 tells us how to prepare, how to battle against our enemy, and what to do in the battle.

• Put on the full armor of God—(I’ve learned that the armor is the very nature of Jesus)

1. Wrap yourselves in truth
2. Cover and surround your hearts with righteousness
3. Stand alert on your feet so you are prepared to react peacefully with all men
4. In every battle, abolish fear and wrap yourself in faith so that you are shielded from everything that attacks you
5. Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance and know who you are in Christ, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies.
6. Grab and cleave on to the Word of God, as a sword, and swing it in declaration to dismantle every lie
7. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times and pray the blessings of God upon all his believers.

And, when you have done all of those things, then …” and having done everything, to stand firm. (Eph. 6:13 – NASB)

• Worship will turn the tide

Throughout the Bible, we see worship intertwined with warfare.  King Jehoshaphat, when faced with overwhelming odds, sent worship leaders out ahead of his army (2 Chronicles 20:21). Worship exalts God and in that exaltation His power is released.  Worship confuses the enemy’s forces and brings chaos to their strategies and fear to their hearts.

2Ch 20:18  Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD. :19  The Levites, from the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel, with a very loud voice. :20  They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.” :21  When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, “Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.” :22  When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed. (NASB)

• Pray and Intercede

It bears repeating about prayer as a critical warfare strategy.  Eph. 6:18.  In the Amplified Bible we read:

Eph_6:18  Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).

The greatest battle that Jesus fought took place in the Garden of Gethsemane.  He prayed so intently that blood infused his perspiration.  He took Peter, James and John up to the Mount of Transfiguration to pray—resulting in His transfiguration along with Moses and Elijah.  The Apostles were released from prison by the prayers of the Ekklesia of the 1^st generation.  Paul followed Jesus’ example by praying, inquiring, strategizing his every move and praying for all the saints.  I will say Prayer is the most important weapons of war that we have.  Unfortunately, very few use it, except when they are in trouble.  In the days in which we live, that must change if we want the complete victory.  Prayer should ever be in our mouths.

• Trust and Obey

Not often recognized as a weapon of war is trusting in the Lord (His Word and His Voice) and then obedience to His direction.  These weapons come from the actions of Jesus Himself—who only did what he saw His Father do and He only said what He heard His Father say.  Trust and obedience keeps the “power channel” open for every circumstance and condition.  If I love someone, I am committed to trusting them.  When they speak the truth in love to me, I am wise to consider obeying what they tell me.  In physical warfare, one must trust the commanding officer and obey what is directed.  If not, there is a price to pay.  So it is in the Kingdom of God.

Joh 14:23  Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him. :24  Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe and obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent Me.  (AMP Bible)

Another look at 2 Cor 10:5 (above) gives strong implication to obedience and spiritual warfare.  Look again at what it says:

:5  We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.  (TPT Bible)

Walking in trust and obedience to God releases overcoming power into every situation that our enemy tries to impose upon us.  It is a powerfully effective spiritual weapon.

• Engage With Holy Spirit Power

When the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost, a new level of power became available to the believer, if they receive Him.  Jesus gave this instruction to the Apostles:

Act 1:8  But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”

What else would this power be for but to advance the Kingdom of God in the earth.  The enemy of our souls wants to stifle us because we carry God’s ambassadorship on the earth.  This why the battle rages.  As long as satan can keep us inside our walled fortresses, there is no threat to his military advancement.  If we are in neutral, we go nowhere.  As long as our boat is tied to the dock, the river of God just flows by.  We must cut the boat loose, catch the current of His river, and let Him take us where He needs us.  We have to engage.

Engagement has to be a weapon in the war.  Israel was under the oppression of the Midianites and God found Gideon hiding out treading wheat in a wine press.  He was afraid so he hid in his fortress.  God had to encourage him to overcome his fears of battle.

Jdg 6:12  The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior.” :13  Then Gideon said to him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” :14  The LORD looked at him and said, “Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?” (NASB)

Until Gideon engaged with God and did what He told him to do, there could be no victory over Midian.  The final result:

Jdg 7:22  When they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the [Midianite] army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.  (NASB)

When you have inquired of the Lord and from His Word and Voice you hear purpose, assignment, and strategy, you have to engage to complete the victory He wants to provide.  His power will not be lacking.  The battle will be won.

Conclusion

So, I ask again—ARE YOU READY FOR WAR?  If your answer is no, use the things I have provided for you in this blog and sharpen every weapon.  Get into agreement with others who have recognized the war as well.  One will put a thousand to flight and two will put 10,000.  If your answer is yes, come together in agreement and ENGAGE when the trumpet sounds.  God will bring victory over evil.

Father, I pray in the name of Jesus, for every believer that has read this blog.  That they will be prepared and equipped for battle against our adversary, satan.  That wherever they place their foot, You will give victory.  I bind fear and lethargy in Jesus’ Name.  I loose boldness and strength to stand immovable.  Together we decree, let Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.  AMEN.

Antioch International Ministries has been praying throughout the first 100 days of the Trump administration and the answers to prayer have been incredible.  Dutch Sheets published in his Give Him 15 devotional an excellent summary with directions for the days ahead.  I want to give him credit for the information and update all our readers at the same time.  This is an excellent way to accomplish both.       President Jim Sanderbeck, AIM.

The First 100 Days of President Trump

A Testament of Faithful Promise-Keeping

In the unfolding story of America’s divine destiny, President Trump’s divine protection from ten years of character assassination, two fraudulent impeachments, two attempted assassinations, and his miraculous reelection stand as a remarkable witness to the power of faith, prayer, and perseverance. We are reminded that God is always faithful to His promises, and in this season, He has stirred a new hope—a hope rooted in the conviction that America’s best days are still ahead. The first 100 Days of this term have been remarkable. Don’t listen to the liberal media and Trump-haters. They’re the same ones who told you Russia, Russia, Russia, the laptop wasn’t real, the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and that Biden was as sharp as a tack.

A Promise to Reclaim Our Greatness

From the moment President Trump came on the scene, he declared a bold vision: to restore the greatness of America, to revive the economy, defend religious liberty, and uphold the sanctity of life. These promises were not merely political slogans but sacred promises and divine callings—a clarion cry to awaken a sleeping nation and rally believers to stand in faith for the restoration of righteousness.

Economic Revival: Restoring Prosperity and Opportunity

One of the most striking accomplishments of President Trump’s first 100 days is the aggressive push to revitalize the American economy. He has spoken of a “Golden Age” for America and is working hard to set the stage for this. The President promised to cut taxes and is doing so, reduce regulations, and bring manufacturing jobs back to the heartland. His changes are primarily to help the middle class, not billionaires, as the Left dishonestly states.

Within these first months, the administration is implementing historic tax cuts for individuals and businesses, unleashing a wave of economic activity. Unemployment rates plummeted to historic lows, and job creation reached levels unseen in decades, with nearly 350,000 created during these first 100 days.(1) This economic revival will not be just a matter of policy; it will be a sign of divine favor—a sign that God is restoring our nation.

Standing for Life: Defending the Unborn

President Trump made a solemn vow to defend the sanctity of life—a promise rooted in the biblical understanding that every human life is precious and created in the image of God. During this initial period, he took decisive action to bolster pro-life policies.

He reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits U.S. funding for overseas abortion providers. His administration is also appointing judges who uphold the Constitution and protect religious freedoms and life. These steps signal a firm stand for the vulnerable—the unborn—affirming that America will no longer be a nation that turns a blind eye to the innocent.

Religious Liberty: A Defense of Faith

In a time when religious freedoms are under attack, President Trump’s first days demonstrated a resolute commitment to uphold these foundational rights. He signed executive orders to protect religious liberty, ensuring that faith-based organizations could operate without fear of government interference. He has brought prayer and worship back to the White House, boldly and unashamedly.

This is a divine moment—a reaffirmation that the United States is a nation founded on religious principles. It is a call for the church to rise up and stand firm, knowing that God’s hand is on this nation, guiding it back to its biblical roots.

National Security and Sovereignty: Standing Firm

President Trump promised to strengthen America’s borders and protect its sovereignty. The first 100 days saw the enforcement of immigration policies aimed at securing the homeland. Though controversial, these measures were rooted in the biblical principle of safeguarding the nation and its people. After four years of insanity, the border is now secure!

He also took steps to rebuild the military and support law enforcement—actions that reflect the biblical value of justice and protection for the vulnerable.

A Spirit of Restoration and Hope

Throughout these initial months, the atmosphere in America has begun to shift. Though the mainstream media reports of President Trump have been 97% negative, there is a renewed sense of hope among conservatives, a stirring of faith that the promises of God over this nation are materializing. Believers are praying with renewed fervor, declaring that this is a season of divine restoration.

President Trump’s actions have demonstrated that when leaders act in alignment with biblical principles, God’s favor follows. His first 100 days have been a testament to the truth that God’s purposes for America are still alive—woven into the fabric of this nation’s destiny.

A Call to Prayer and Action

While these accomplishments are cause for celebration, they are also a call to ongoing prayer and action. The spiritual battle for America’s soul continues, but we can stand confident, knowing that God is working through leaders who seek His face, and America is being saved.

As I often emphasize, prayer is the foundation of all progress. We are called to pray for our leaders, our nation, and the fulfillment of God’s divine plan. The 2024 election and the first 100 days of President Trump’s presidency remind us that faith, when combined with action, can move mountains. Persevere!

Looking Ahead: Faith for the Future

As we look beyond these initial days, let us remember that every promise God has made to His people is rooted in His unchanging nature. We are not merely spectators but active participants in this divine unfolding. We are called to stand in faith, declare His promises, and believe that America’s best days are yet to come.

In this season of divine awakening, the foundations of righteousness are being restored, and the Lord is positioning His people to walk in victory.

In conclusion, the first 100 days of President Trump’s presidency demonstrate that our nation is awakening to its divine purpose. From economic turnaround to defending life and religious liberty, these days have shown that when leaders seek God and align with His principles, the nation’s destiny is secured.

We must continue to pray without ceasing, stand in faith, and declare that God’s plans for America are good. Together, let’s believe that the next chapter will be even greater—a chapter of revival, reformation, and divine destiny fulfilled.

Pray with me:

Father, we thank You for the changes occurring in our nation. We now have a President, a Speaker of the House, and a leader of the Senate who not only desire to wisely and faithfully serve our nation, but also desire to honor You as they do so. We know there are many more changes needed in order to see America reformed and restored, but we are grateful for the turnaround that has begun. Please give our leaders wisdom and understanding to continue this, positioning us to fulfill the destiny You have called us to.

We ask that more righteous leaders be raised up in our land, and for unrighteous leaders to be removed. We ask this especially for our judicial system. Root out Marxists, leftists, and those with unrighteous and unbiblical ideals. Through the revival that has begun and will grow, shift the paradigms of the American people back to Your ways, until we are a nation that loves, honors, and serves You.

Please protect our leaders from violence. The hatred toward conservative leaders is great, especially toward Trump, and the rhetoric is vitriolic. You told us to pray for deliverance from the evil one, who is certainly behind this hatred and spirit of division, and we do so now. Deliver us from this. Silence accusing spirits, bring a spirit of mutual respect and honor to America again. Intensify the outpouring of Your Spirit until it is a deluge!

All of this we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree:

We declare that the good work that has begun in our land will continue and increase.

Pastor Jim Sanderbeck

January 9, 2025

It is time to “reset ” this nation and it is time to “reset” the way the Ekklesia walks, talks, believes, and responds to every demonic force that is active in this hour.  It is not a time to take prisoners; it is time for the Kingdom of God to manifest through us.

In a recent message, AIM’s Jay Bennett sited 4 crucial reset points for the Ekklesia.  The Ekklesia must have:

1. A revelation of Father Love (intimacy with the Father)
2. A revelation of our true identity (sonship),
3. A revelation of seamless oneness (unity with God and one another),
4. A revelation of Holy Spirit at a degree like never before experienced.

Jay’s entire message is critical for every believer in this hour.  God is in the process of resetting this nation and He needs us to enact His every command.

Exposure, Accountability and Justice.  Even though our network has been praying and battling the enemy’s strategies for almost 6 years, we can not sit back now that the election victory in all 3 branches of government has been won.  Spiritual and social reforms must take place.  There is much to do to take back territory that the enemy has stolen.  The enemy is unrelenting and will do anything to dislodge and overthrow.  We must be vigilant and wise and constantly alert.  The good news is that we understand his tactics to kill, steal and destroy better now than we did 4 years ago.  We understand how to use our weapons better now than we did in years past.  Therefore, we must listen to Holy Spirit and engage against our adversaries in obedience to His directives.  This isn’t new:  Just LISTEN & OBEY.

We must embrace every one of these practical  and spiritual directives:

• WORSHIP OUR GOD WITH WRECKLESS ABANDON
• INTERCEDE CONTINUOUSLY. PRAY IN THE UNDERSTANDING AND PRAY IN THE SPIRIT.
• STUDY THE WORD OF GOD DAILY
• LISTEN TO TRUSTED PROPHETS WHO ARE PROVEN
• GET IN LINE WITH GOD’S GOVERNMENTAL ORDER FOR YOUR LIFE
• GET YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY SPIRITUALLY FOCUSED AND PHYSICALLY HEALTHY
• FELLOWSHIP AND BE EQUALLY YOKED WITH LIKE-MINDED, GROUNDED, AND MATURE BELIEVERS
• PRACTICE AND EMPLOY YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS
• CALL UPON AND COOPERATE WITH THE ANGELIC HOST
• AGGRESSIVELY ENGAGE WITH GOVERNMENTAL AND SOCIAL AUTHORITIES, ESPECIALLY WHENEVER SITUATIONS FOCUS THAT LEAD AWAY FROM KINGDOM TRUTH. DON’T AVOID CONFLICT; YOU ARE IN A WAR!
• DECREE/DECLARE THE OUTCOME AS IT ALIGNS WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND THE VOICE OF HOLY SPIRIT
• ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY WHERE GOD HAS ESTABLISHED YOU AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR HIM. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE PLACED THERE.
• ENCOURAGE AND GIVE TO OTHERS WHENEVER THEY ARE IN NEED.
• SERVE IN EVERY CAPACITY AS UNTO THE LORD HIMSELF
• DON’T NEGLECT LOOKING INWARDLY TO PERSONAL NEEDS BUT EMPHASIZE ALWAYS FOCUSING OUTWARDLY TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU

Take heed to the Apostle Paul’s directives to his spiritual son Timothy as provided in the Message Bible:

2Timothy 2:1  So, my son, throw yourself into this work for Christ. :2  Pass on what you heard from me—the whole congregation saying Amen!—to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others. :3  When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did. :4  A soldier on duty doesn’t get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders. :5  An athlete who refuses to play by the rules will never get anywhere. :6  It’s the diligent farmer who gets the produce. :7  Think it over. God will make it all plain.

I hear it from so many prophetic voices in this hour.  God is saying “RESET” to us.  Reset our thinking.  Reset our focus of attention to Him.  Reset our priorities.  Partner with Him as He “RESETS” the path of our lives and our nation from evil to righteousness.

Pastor Jim Sanderbeck

December 5, 2024

Now that the election is past and millions of prayers have been answered, my concerns for the Kingdom cause of Christ going forward into 2025 are two-fold.

1. Christians will not get weary in the battle because the battle is not over by any long shot.

I’m sure you have heard that at the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, Benjamin Franklin responded: “a republic, if you can keep it.”

The Great Experiment of bottom-up governance will constantly be harassed by those who think of self-first and rule-through-control.  It is satan’s nature.  Satan is the father of lies and filled with deceit.  We must be ready for anything.  Using programs and strategies of deceit, lies, and lawlessness for control through fear will silently and then blatantly again rise to the surface if we do not stay alert.  Satan and his demonic forces do not just fade away.  Their modus operandi will be to continue to harass and consume in an attempt to weaken resolve and regain control of their unrighteous agenda against God.  The Ekklesia must not fall asleep or enter into lethargy.

Pro 6:9  How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? :10  “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest”— :11  Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man. (NASB)

Now that significant ground has been taken, the Ekklesia MUST press beyond the finish line through Jesus Christ.  We must not slumber or sleep but rather protect our righteous heritage lest we lose the republic and its righteous foundation.  This verse from the old Methodist Hymn must resound in the hearts of the Ekklesia.

Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.

2. God will move to center stage in this nation by the intentional acts of those He has tapped to lead the nation back to the foundational covenants and purposes. I am concerned that attention will be focused so strongly on the man and the team of men and women fulfilling the actions of transformation that God will be moved to a lesser position.  To achieve the next Great Awakening, a worldwide billion-soul harvest, and the discipling of nations, only God can be center stage.

The victories achieved so far have been achieved because God has heard the cries of His people and has chosen to show grace and mercy even when neither is warranted.  The sins of the nation and the blood of millions cry out “GUILTY”, but God chooses once again to show Himself to be filled with mercy and compassion.

God’s mercy is not new.  Six hundred years before the birth of Jesus, Israel was divided into 2 kingdoms.  Sins similar to those that have been experienced in this nation were rampant in both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel.  God was sending judgement and captivity upon them in the form of the Assyrians.  The prophet Micah spoke harshly to the people of their sin and warned of the coming judgement.  BUT, in the midst of that judgement, he spoke of hope for a remnant of the nation.

Mic 2:12  “But I will gather you together, all you people of Israel that are left. I will bring you together like sheep returning to the fold. Like a pasture full of sheep, your land will once again be filled with many people.” (GNB)

On the Dec. 5^th Give Him 15, Dutch Sheets refers to a prophetic word by Scott Reese.  A portion of that prophecy says:

“You will witness a breaking down of the political divide and see the establishment of a righteous government, holding a righteous scepter in their hands. You will see a governmental body actually stop and pray before a vote in order to ascertain My heart. The podium will be used for godly leaders crying out together in faith, as opposed to arguing, defending unrighteousness, offending My heavens, and shutting off the land from My purposes.”

When I heard this prophesy, my heart rejoiced.  God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit must be the center of what we do going forward.  Giving Him glory and praise must be intentional on the part of these new passionate leaders AND the Ekklesia.  This prophetic word is obviously on the heart of God, and we must heed its exhortation.

Every mountain of society is going to be impacted by the Spirit of God but only if we give God pre-eminence for the coming victories.  We must pray now for those who are positioned by God to bring about transformation to our nation.  That their hearts are soft to Him; their ears are quickened to hear the Voice of Holy Spirit.  That they will find counsel from Godly men and women.  That they will be obedient and not willing to bathe in the tub of glory that is only be reserved for Him.   SELAH.

To the Ekklesia: This prophetic word from Apostle Tim Sheets is God’s NOW directive to the Ekklesia.  I have said that Nov. 5^th was a “fence line” that is going to require a choice by everyone:  “Will you be for God, try to sit on the fence or be against God.”  For the Ekklesia, there is only one path to follow.  If you are asking God “what should I be”? and “what should I do now”?, this word is your clear directive

Prophetic Word by Apostle Tim Sheets

Text copied from Give Him 15 on Nov. 15, 2024

Bold & Highlights by JAS

America’s recent election has been called “historic” numerous times. When something significant happens in the natural realm, one must also pay attention to what is concurrently taking place spiritually. A shift has taken place, resulting in an open heaven over our nation, and causing a different anointing to flow from Holy Spirit. He is anointing new assignments. The possibility of great turnarounds is before us and must be stewarded by Ekklesia. We must continue to be watchmen on the wall, offering up wise prayers to implement the right changes.

When I asked the Lord what the next step for the Ekklesia should be, He said,

“It is now time for My Ekklesia to embrace and live in a higher authority mindset, one that stewards wisely the principles I have revealed.”

The Lord spoke the following words to me after the election:

“The trumpets of war have sounded from Heaven. Arise Ekklesia; rise in your authority. You will find it more than enough. Rise and confront the forever loser with My words. As you do, he will flee from you, so rise and confront his dark kingdom. For the Lord declares the prevailing anointing now flowing will activate an attitude of heroes of faith.”

The phrase “attitude of heroes of faith” caught my (Apostle Sheets’) attention. An attitude means a settled way of thinking that is reflected in behavior; a mental state, or character that is demonstrated. It is also an aviation term related to a plane’s position and angle, enabling it to maintain stability.

The word continues:

“So arise, Ekklesia, as Holy Spirit anoints your behavior and disposition (the tendency of something to act in a certain manner under given circumstances) to represent Me in disciplined power. Holy Spirit is anointing the true church to behave differently and walk in new directions. Paths walked in authority towards hell’s advances in government or in culture are similar to the attitudes of My heroes of faith. New paths into harvest fields are also being prepared in order to reap a worldwide harvest. A billion soul harvest will be reaped, just as heroes of past reformations and revivals reaped the harvests of their day. 

“Arise, Ekklesia, as Holy Spirit shapes your disposition to reign with Me in great authority and reap My greatest harvest. For the anointing now being poured from Heaven will shift attitudes, actions, and mindsets, creating heroes of faith who work for My cause. Holy Spirit’s presence and anointings will affect the Ekklesia’s very disposition. This will be clearly seen, bringing fear into demonic strongholds. 

“For now, the intimidating Ekklesia will rise against hell in My breaker anointing, and My compassion will rise toward My harvest. A different behavior will be seen in My remnant warriors, attitudes and mindsets that reflect My power. They will not be intimidated. Rather, the weight of glory resting upon them will make them intimidators of hell’s kingdom. For My glory intimidates hell, says the Lord, and My glory will intimidate hell through this presence upon My Ekklesia. They will behave as those carrying a great weight of My glory and authority.

“Ekklesia, behave as sons and daughters. Behave as joint heirs with Me. The Lord says the world will now see the paths of My Ekklesia extending into all of the earth. The direction she travels will show an aggressive resistance to hell’s advances in government and cultures. The Ekklesia will now be presented as anointed for spiritual war, for battle, to reign, and to bring change. They’ll be anointed to work for My harvest, to reap the lost. I am anointing My Ekklesia with a determined attitude to prevail and win, just as I did Gideon’s 300 and David’s mighty men. 

“Shift now into a prevailing mentality, prevailing behavior. A determined anointing to win will now fill My remnant. They will not surrender My Kingdom to the governments of man, but will influence the governments of man with My ways. They will not surrender the spiritual weapons I’ve given them, but will use them. They will not hesitate at demonic clamor and activity. They will not relinquish their authority, their swords, or their spears. The sword of My word will swing from their mouths, empowered to demolish strongholds, scattering and shattering enemy plans. The sword of My word swung by My Ekklesia’s decrees will be a disruptive force, confusing the plans of demonic powers. It will disrupt the followers of Baal, causing disarray from coast to coast. 

“For you will see, even this month, says the Lord, and in the months to come, the acceleration of disarray. Confusion and bewilderment will mystify those committed to dark agendas. They will wear the yoke of their own confusion, reap their own destructive plans, and wander their paths of disillusion. 

“My Ekklesia will rise, and their attitude will reveal their trust in Me. They will surrender nothing. They will not take orders from kings, potentates, governors, congressmen or women, senators, prime ministers, mayors, city councils, school boards, professors, or woke mobs. My Ekklesia listens to Holy Spirit. Their orders come from Lord Sabaoth. They are those who stand for My cause without compromise. An anointing to prevail will produce great victories.”

The prophet Exekiel said this, referring to the provision of the river of God:

Eze 47:9  “It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. …Eze 47:12  “By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”

Just prior to His ascension into heaven, Jesus was with His disciples and said:

Mark 16: 17  “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name [Jesus] they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; :18  they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” :19  So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. :20  And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. (NASB)

THIS is that time for us.  Why not us; why not now?

Jas 5:17  Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. :18  Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit. (NASB)

Mar 13:5  And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. :6  “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many. :7  “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. :8  “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. :9  “But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. :10  “The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. :11  “When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. :12  “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. :13  “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.  (NASB)

“Pray Against America’s Arab Spring” 

Nick Manzo, AIM Apostolic Council July 24, 2024

I have been doing word studies on light, lamp, illumine, etc. in the last week.  I felt that I needed to focus on Jesus (always a good thing) because so much of our prayer focus has been spiritual warfare for America, Israel, and the harvest.

During my study on April 21, I heard the Spirit say, “Pray against America’s Arab Spring.”

I remembered the Arab Spring that eventually led to the Muslim Brotherhood gaining the leadership in Egypt’s government, and the chaos and oppression that followed.  I had to look up some details and found that the flash point for the Arab spring was that, in 2010, a young street vendor in Tunisia protested the economic and governmental difficulties of that season by self-immolation.  A protest movement, dubbed the “Jasmine Revolution” in the media, quickly spread through the country, then throughout much of the Arab world over the next several years.

The flash point today has been the Hamas atrocities against Israel, and the subsequent Israeli war against Hamas in Gaza.  The attack, backed by Iran against the nation of Israel, was a manifestation of the “prince of Persia”, the same demonic principality Michael had to overcome, so Gabriel could bring the answer to Daniel’s prayer.  I feel the warning I was given has been confirmed by the increased Pro Palestinian protests here and abroad.

Today, July 24, 2024, I am called back to the desires of the enemy to bring forth an Arab Spring against the United States and the Western World.  It is already being executed against Israel with attacks by Hamas (Palestine), Hezbollah (Lebanon), the Houthis (Yemen), and Iran.  We must remain a loyal ally of hers.

The exposure of antisemitism world-wide is part of the shaking that is forcing the darkness to reveal its hand.  The Pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Washington DC today when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress, are a harbinger of the unrest that we must pray against.  The socialist sponsored BLM riots are a pattern that may be emulated by the Pro-Palestinian supporters.  The failure of the Deep State to call those “Peaceful Protesters” rioters is a concern.

The boldness of the attack on President Trump, and the ineptness or corruption of the Secret Service in protecting him, have highlighted the depth of the endemic debasement of many of our American Government institutions.

We must continue to stand on the wall, decreeing and declaring the Word of the Lord, fulfilling  the scriptures of 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people…”, and Psalm 122:6-9 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem…”.

THE SEASON OF AWAKENING, EXPOSURE AND JUSTICE IS UPON US

As I awakened, I immediately had this vision.  I was standing beside a large locomotive steam engine and as I looked out in front of me there was one set of train tracks extending to the horizon.  I was not on the train but standing beside it.  I could feel the train’s power.

I asked the Lord “what am I seeing?”  The Lord said “this train is carrying all of the evil doers and evil acts that have been purposed to change this nation from its foundational intents and purpose.  I have gathered them all together.”  Then I asked the Lord what are these tracks that I see?  Where do they go?”  The Lord responded “These tracks guide this train and they go for 150 miles.  When the train has traveled 10 miles, I will provide you a sign that will confirm this vision that I am showing you.”

I asked the Lord “what is meant by this?”  The Lord responded “The miles are the number of days in this vision.  On the tenth day, I will give a sign that will confirm that this is a true vision.  When the train reaches 150 miles, it and all that is on it will be destroyed.”  [I had the distinct impression that those on the train who would repent of the evil they had done and sincerely accept Jesus as their Savior before it reached the end of the tracks, they would be removed from the train.  I was also impressed that those who saw and understood this vision and accepted Jesus as it passed by would be awakened and saved.]  Immediately then, the train moved forward very quickly like a video on fast forward, and as it reached the horizon, I saw a great explosion of fire and smoke and the vision ended.

Interpretation:

I believe God is speaking to His Ekklesia to alert us that His plan for restoration and transformation is now being made known.  I believe that in 10 days (somewhere in the 2^nd week of July 2024) there will be a sign come forth that will confirm the validity of this vision so that the Ekklesia will know what is underway in the Spirit of God.  I believe in 150 days (somewhere in the 3^rd or 4^th week of November 2024) evil acts within the USA and evil doers who have perpetrated them will be fully exposed and removed.  [ I don’t know how.  That is up to God to deliver judgement and justice.  But what has been going on that is evil is going to be removed or destroyed.]  I believe that there will be miracles and deliverances along the way that will bring an alert to those who are cold and lukewarm to the things of God.  Opportunities to minister salvation and baptism in the Holy Spirit will be many.  I believe the next 150 days will be a call to repentance, righteousness and purity towards and for God.  Because of these recognized alerts, I believe we will see the next great awakening begin to take place with thousands being saved in this nation.  It is my counsel by the Holy Spirit to quickly come to attention, get prepared, and be obedient to all of Holy Spirit’s directions.

The Appeal to Heaven Flag

As I stated yesterday, I was out of the office for a week, so am only now able to comment on the news of Justice Alito’s “egregious” behavior in flying the Appeal To Heaven flag. What was he thinking? Never mind that our first President, George Washington, commissioned the flag and flew it on our naval vessels. Doesn’t he know the flag is about prayer? The Justice should know that Judges must have nothing to do with prayer! And the most egregious of all, the flag was seen at the Capitol on January 6th! Every flag taken there should be banned from America! (Well, with the exception of Old Glory, which was also there.) If Justice Alito doesn’t resign, he should recuse himself from any future Supreme Court cases regarding prayer, patriotism, free speech, and evergreen trees!

Forgive my sarcasm and attempt at humor, but this controversy is so ridiculous it begs for it. It is now considered treasonous to fly one of the flags under which America was born. “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has now been revealed as actually “Christians and Patriots Derangement Syndrome.” It turns out he was right when he said it’s us the left is coming after, he’s just standing in the way.

Because of my promotion of the flag, Ceci and I began receiving phone calls and texts from reporters immediately after the news broke. They wanted to know if I knew the Justice, his wife, if I gave him the flag, and more. The answer to these questions was “No.” I have never met any of the Supreme Court Justices or any of their family members. And I have no idea where or how Justice Alito procured his flag. (In full disclosure, my office DOES sell them, as do Amazon and others.) I received my Appeal To Heaven flag from an America-loving wounded warrior who is actually fighting for his life from an illness he contracted while serving in Afghanistan.

I’m told that Speaker Johnson has the flag outside his office and that Senator Cotton is now flying one outside his, as well. I have never met these leaders either, and don’t know how they got their flags. Although I did find out from a leftist reporter recently that I am Speaker Johnson’s mentor! It’s amazing what you can learn from the mainstream media. I recently learned from a Christian watchdog, who partners with the mainstream media, that I caused January 6! (No, I wasn’t even there.)

Here is a brief summary of my introduction to the ATH flag and an explanation of its beginning, taken from my small book, An Appeal To Heaven:

“’Before I give you this gift,’ he said, ‘I need to explain the history behind it. It’s a replica of the flag displayed by George Washington and America’s founding fathers. This flag was actually used before the Stars and Stripes existed. In many ways, it is the banner under which America was born,’ he explained.

“‘This banner has the phrase “An Appeal To Heaven” across the top,’ he continued, ‘a phrase our Founders took from the writings of John Locke, an influential English philosopher from the mid-1600s. Locke wrote a series of papers on “Natural Laws,” stating that human rights originate with God, not government.’

“Locke made the case that when people have done everything humanly possible to experience those God-given rights and have failed to do so, there remains but one option:

And where the body of the people or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven…’(1)

“Major Ostan continued, ‘Locke’s phrase, “appeal to heaven,” connotes that when all resources and the ability to attain justice on earth are exhausted, an appeal to earth’s ultimate Judge is the final recourse. This concept would become a foundational philosophy in American society, used even in the Declaration of Independence.’

“Will went on to explain that George Washington and his contemporaries grabbed hold of this phrase in America’s cause for freedom from Britain’s tyranny. Having exhausted all peaceful possibilities of experiencing the liberty they so desired, the colonists realized their only hope for freedom was through war. Yet with Britain’s great military, weaponry, and wealth – contrasted by the colonist’s dire lack of these resources –  any military attempt to break free from British rule was preposterous, even laughable. Laughable, that is, unless Almighty God intervened.

“The stance of the colonists was simple. Their right to freedom came from God: He would help them. ‘We will appeal to heaven!’ they declared.

“And a flag was born.

“From the days of the pilgrims, godly men and women have believed the Almighty was involved in the birth of our nation. They also felt that if a nation chose to partner with and honor God, it would experience His favor and blessing in extraordinary ways. Washington and the colonial dreamers agreed. But they decided to take it a step further and find out if the Sovereign was, indeed, birthing ‘A city [nation] set on a hill that can’t be hidden…a light to the world’ (Matthew 5:14). They no doubt knew of John Winthrop, a leader of the puritan’s Massachusetts Bay Colony, using this verse in his 1630 speech on board the Arbella to describe what he believed God wanted to build in America.(2)

“General George Washington, leader of the American Revolution, obviously believed in this divine plan. He commissioned several ships for the Revolutionary War efforts and, highlighting their dependence on providential help; each vessel was to fly under the Appeal to Heaven banner, also known as the Pine Tree Flag.(3) The popularity of the flag spread and was soon flying throughout the colonies, as well as being adopted as the flag for the Massachusetts State Navy.(4) It became the symbol of these colonists’ unwavering spirit of liberty, as well as a clear statement of where they placed their faith.”(5)

Don’t be distracted by the accusations of the left. They want to intimidate us into silence. It’s a good thing to love America. My advice to all patriots, regardless of your religious affiliation or lack thereof: fly and salute your American flag EVERY DAY! Say the Pledge of Allegiance to Old Glory; stand for the anthem with your hand over your heart, and sing along LOUDLY.

To believers, my advice is: Fly BOTH flags! Salute one and pray under the other. Love God unashamedly; believe and honor the Bible – all of it; attend a church that isn’t afraid to preach truth, including the truth regarding America’s birth by God, and the purpose for which He did so. And by all means, attend one which teaches and encourages its congregants to vote biblical values.

Pray with me:

Father, thank You for giving us praying leaders in Washington. Strengthen their resolve to seek You for wisdom, and to ask for Your blessing on our nation. Give us many more who unashamedly fly the ATH flag, both Democrats and Republicans. No leader in America  – especially America – needs to be intimidated regarding mentioning You or embarrassed when doing so. Overrule the evil attacks against them, including President Trump. Encourage him, and may his heart be turned always to You. Restore justice to America’s defiled judicial system – from the DOJ down.

We ask You to overturn every effort to destroy America’s Judeo-Christian roots. We boldly declare that we ARE a “city on a hill,” as our Founders and Presidents have called us. We also acknowledge that this does not make us loved by You more than other people throughout the world. It is a calling to SERVE the nations by delivering the gospel of the Kingdom to them. We boldly declare that we will see this calling reemerge from its root system, though the tree has been damaged and its fruit spoiled. Your discipline will bring forth the peaceable fruit of righteousness once again. We appeal to You for these things and do so through the risen King, Jesus.

Our decree:

We decree that appealing to heaven is the believer’s right and America’s heritage.
