A Great Season For America Is Rekindled

Now that the 250^th Birthday July 4^th celebration is behind us, [many more events still to come] I’ve been spending some time in prayer for our nation and our people—praying past the emotion and furor of the activities and gatherings.  As American people, in some ways,  seemingly very divided, we saw tremendous numbers of people sincerely grateful for the heritage, the past sacrifices for freedom, and the abundance of provision and opportunity.  There truly was a great outpouring of patriotism across the land.  Yes, there was this faint weak sound of opposition from the WOKE liberal progressive left and the deceived Democratic Socialist/Communist community, but it was only heard because of the secular media outlets giving it time and space.  The comparative numbers could not begin to top the numbers of celebrating patriots.  Oppositional voices really had nothing to say.  The strong celebrating voices came from those communities who sponsored Independence Day through their zealous energetic activities, families and friends picnics across backyard neighborhoods and of course the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Of course, the gigantic display in D.C. was spectacular.  Record-breaking crowds, temperatures and fireworks surrounded the city.  Then came the storm and hundreds of thousands of patriots had to head for shelter.  One of the greatest and unplanned events came from one of the news “bunkers” where spontaneous songs of nation, praise, and worship broke out and a 90+ year old Army Veteran in uniform was encouraged and then flawlessly sang America The Beautiful under the proud and watchful eyes of those who took shelter with him.  All of it being broadcast to millions across the nation.  Just an amazing “break-in” by Holy Spirit.

At evenings end, President Trump gave an awe-inspiring Independence Day speech about 11:15 PM because of the storm delay.  He concluded his speech by saying:

“That show tonight, you heard it was over. [referencing the rumor that his speech and the remainder of the festivities had been canceled due to the weather] And what happened? You came back. [over 150,000 rain-drenched patriots returned from shelters around the Mall]  And this American flag still waves. Proud and free and beautiful. We have thrived and flourished because our Founders were great. Our cause was just. Our people are brave. Our culture is exceptional. And our destiny is written by God. And as we can see here tonight, after 250 years, the spirit of 1776 still lives within us all. It still roars in the hearts of our nation’s capital. It still burns in the heart of every patriot and thunders through every city and town. It still lights the entire world with the glow of American liberty. And there is nothing like that at 250 years old. We may be the oldest constitutional republic on earth, but our country is just getting started, because the best is yet to come. This is only the dawn of the Golden Age of America.”

“On this 250th 4th of July, we declare, just as they did two and a half centuries ago, that for our country and for our children and for the cause of liberty, we are going to take our country to new levels, to levels not reached. We’re going to make it bigger, better, stronger, and we’re going to love it even more… And I want to thank everybody, and we love you all. And it’s an honor to be your President. Thank you. God bless you all. God bless you all.”

Then came the world-record setting fireworks display of over 85,000 explosions—the finale seemed to set the sky on fire.

A Rekindled Covenant And The River Of God

I don’t believe this 250^th Celebration would have been so powerful without 2 very important milestones.

1. On May 17^th, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed a ‘covenant renewal’ that I believe re-opened the channel of blessing (the well if you will) from God. Why was that covenant renewal so impacting?  Because in the divine order of God’s government, NOTHING—no relationship of any order—is more powerful that covenant relationship.  God’s word is very clear on that.  Here is how the covenant between God and America started:

On April 29, 1607, at Cape Henry, at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay in present-day Virginia, Rev. Robert Hunt, along with his other contemporaries of this great land, erected a wooden cross made from the heart of the ship in which they had sailed, gave a public thanksgiving and prayer before they continued on to establish Jamestown on May 13, 1607.  In that prayer, these early founders prayed, “We do hereby dedicate this land, and ourselves, to reach the people within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up godly generations after us… May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this land, along with England, be an evangelist to the world.”  The fact that they used the keel of the ship for that planted cross, was a declaration that they were committed and would never return to the oppression and control of the past.  True covenant is everlasting.

On Nov. 21, 1620,  a second covenant, separate from the first, was signed by all 41 male voyagers to what has become the United States of America.  The Mayflower was originally headed for the Virginia Colony, but storms carried it north to Cape Cod, outside the jurisdiction of the Virginia Company’s charter. Some passengers argued that, because they had landed outside the charter’s territory, no government had authority over them.  It was called the Mayflower Compact, and it stated that they had undertaken the voyage to this great land for the glory of God, the advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of their king and country.  The Mayflower Compact became an important symbol in the development of American constitutional and democratic traditions.

2. On May 29^th, 2026, a prophetic declaration under the cover of Apostle Tim Sheets came forth from Middletown, OH to a congregation on site and also tens of thousands online of Christians across the nation and the globe. The essence of that prophetic release was that the River of God (Ezekiel 47:9) was being released by God with waters to swim in for the United States of America.  When the covenant well from 1607 was rededicated (re-dug), the blessings of God were now flowing once again.  That this covenant renewal of the blessing of God was releasing miracles, signs, wonders, healings, revival, and reformation at unprecedented levels.  Ezekiel 47:9 says that wherever the River of God flows, all that touch it, lives.

So now with head held high and back straight, Christian patriots can look forward to the future with hope and expectation like never before.  The covenant has been renewed.  The well of blessing has been re-dug.  All debris has been removed.  The blessing flow from those long-ago covenants will be seen and experienced by all.  Let the blessings flow and thank God remembering that the covenant flows to us and through us.  It is now up to us to uphold the covenant, declare our allegiance to God and country.  It is up to us now to walk righteously and proclaim our loyalty to our God and our country.  May we be Kingdom stewards of this nation and this planet just like our God has always desired.

Pastor Jim Sanderbeck – June 24, 2026

As you know,, the chaotic concerns of this world are certainly more than upsetting, and these concerns mostly center on how we see through the windowpane of the Kingdom of God.  I believe we are at a “hingepin” position that will direct how the United States will swing going forward.  We must constantly pray for God’s wisdom in all things right now because God’s agenda is more important than man’s.  PRAYER IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE IN THIS HOUR!

That generalization being said, I am providing a direct quote transcript from parts of  the Give Him 15 and Dutch Sheets from June 23, 2026 which capsulizes my thoughts, and he articulates it so well that I need to add nothing at this time.  Dutch writes:

What I am about to share may not be pleasant for you to hear.  However, in my assignment, I must sound the alarm.  As an intercessor and watchman on the wall, as an apostolic prophetic teacher, I cannot and I will not have the blood of the church on my hands.  (Eze. 33:1-9)

I awakened this morning to the song “Blow A Trumpet In Zion” out of the Scripture in Joel 2: 1-11.  Here’s a link to the song: https://youtu.be/zEhqebchTso .

Joel 2:1  Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the LORD is coming; Surely it is near, 2:2  A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations. ….2:9  They rush on the city, They run on the wall; ….2:11  The LORD utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?

This passage describes a coming people who will break forth in a day of darkness and is unlike any people yet seen.  They are in full unity before God and without breaking rank they wreak havoc against the kingdom of darkness and evil across the world.  They are led by the voice of the Lord and their strength is so awesome that no one can endure them.  I would like to think that this army of the Lord is the church in this hour, but I don’t think it is.  It can be, but it just isn’t prepared.  Honestly, we better move NOW!  I’m going to say again what I have been saying for the last month;  They are coming!  Ready or not, they are coming!

First, I must admit that on Wednesday, Nov. 5^th I found myself very upset with not only the election results, but with the “church” that seems to just wither in complacency after something epoch occurs.  Let me be very clear:  Donald Trump wins the election (PTL), begins to take down giants around the world and the church’s response is “Oh hum.  Everything is under control now and I’ll just let DJT and his team take care of things while I go back to my rocking chair.”  DO WE NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE TIMELINE OF OUR KING?  DO WE NOT UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF EVIL WE ARE FACING AS CITIZENS OF LIGHT?  My friends, we are at war at a level never seen before?  How can we not get out and vote?  How can we not make our voices heard?  The performance of the church in this election was abysmal.  This enemy that we face is not going to stop until they are stopped.  And, the only way they are going to be stopped is when they encounter the immovable unescapable army of the Living God.  How many times must we hear that we are at war against the powers of darkness in the heavenlies?  How many times must we hear that the enemy’s strategy is to move the prophetic timeline forward so that they outrun God’s plan of redemption?

The word of the prophets in this hour is that we must discern the times and know what to do.  God has got His strategy well identified but He needs us to engage in the earth to bring it into manifestation.  This prophetic word of warning from the wall of intercession is for pastors in the pulpit, leaders in the marketplace and you in the seats of the church and community.  We are God’s partners; His family.  It is all on the line now.  Do you trust Jesus even unto death?  (Rev. 12:11)  As thousands die as martyrs around the earth right now in such places as Nigeria, Syria, Congo, France, England, yes even like Charlie Kirk in the USA,  what is the church’s response?  As thousands come to Christ in the streets, cities and arenas of the USA, is the church ready to disciple them and assimilate them into the Kingdom of God?  The answer: NO WE ARE NOT READY.  I say again, “READY OR NOT, HERE THEY COME!”

We are not called to be a people of desperation, of despair, or of fear.  We are called to be salt, light, power, love and of a strong mind.  My Brothers and Sisters, don’t follow the easy path of water that flows downhill.  Rise up now; swim upstream.  Overcome your complacency, apathy and laziness!  Believers must get themselves out of the comfort zone and into the growth zone.  The life of faith in Christ is a life of risk—if you could do it yourself, why would you need God?  It is always going to be risky in the growth zone, but, Jesus is in the growth zone.

Believers, open your eyes and ears so you can learn of the times and know what to do.  The prophetic timeline of God that is in motion right now is the Book of Esther.  Things were the darkest for the Jews right before Hamon was hung on his own gallows.  Where are the Mordechai’s?  Where are the Esther’s?  “For if you do not fulfill this assignment, God will provide another to bring the victory for the Kingdom.”  (Esther 4:14)

YOU need information about the criticalness of this hour!  Listen to the comments of these prophetic and pastoral men who have a wealth of experience with the warfare we are facing.  It isn’t pretty.  I don’t share it to provoke you to fear, but to understanding and preparation.  It is time to be the Joshua’s and Caleb’s of this hour.  Yes, the giants are great in stature, BUT we are well able to take them as our captives because our God is with us.  (Num. 13:30)  Please Friends, take an hour and learn.  Awaken from your slumber:  https://rumble.com/v71bqc0-flashpoint-livestream-11.06.25-thursday.html?e9s=src_v1_clr%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a .

I conclude with this message of alertness and faith from the Apostle Paul.  May we all be quickened with truth and boldness for the hour in which we were created to steward.

Eph 5:15 -17 So be very careful how you live, not being like those with no understanding, but live honorably with true wisdom, for we are living in evil times. Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes.  And don’t live foolishly for then you will have discernment to fully understand God’s will.  (TPT)

Gal 2:20-21  “My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine!  “So that is why I don’t view God’s grace as something minor or peripheral. For if keeping the law could release God’s righteousness to us, the Anointed One would have died for nothing.” (TPT)

Prophetic Dream of Confirmation

Just days ago, one of our AIM members shared a 3-part dream with me that came on Sept. 27, 2025.  I’m putting the entire dream [with removal of specific names] into this blog because it is a NOW word and I don’t wish to expose anyone unnecessarily.  I will tell you that this person is highly credible and has a true prophetic gift.  This dream is filled with devilish behaviors and fits the dilemma of the community of believers that I have shared in this blog.  The dreamer had no prior specific communication with me nor knew that I have been greatly troubled over several months to speak about the diversity expressed in Part 1.  The author writes:

Dream is in three parts

Part 1 –

I’m at work, which is in a large warehouse with boxes and pallets all around.  Colleagues are scattered around the building.  I’m vaguely aware of a scuffle or argument going on in another part of the building but can’t see it and don’t know what’s going on.

Part 2 –

The conflict erupts and it seems from the noise that someone is running through the building and my colleagues are yelling, chasing after him, and trying to stop him.  As he comes into view, he’s pushing what looks like a very large shopping cart filled with things.  I run ahead of him and stand in front of the exit blocking his way.  To my surprise he stops right in front of me.  I stare straight at him.  It’s clearly Maurice [I will use a false name in place of the known person], the head of the facility [I will not disclose name of workplace] where I used to  work. (In real life.)  The cart is filled with gift wrapped packages.  My assumption is he is stealing them from us and as we both stand there, I begin grabbling things out of the cart and tossing them to my colleagues who are now scattered behind me.  Some people catch the packages, but some are clearly just standing there and will not catch them or participate.  So, I just continue emptying the cart as quickly as I can, placing the packages wherever there is room around me.  There are loaves of dark (pumpernickel?) bread wrapped in clear plastic sleeves, packages of cookies, and many gift-wrapped packages of every size and shape from what look like record albums to large square and rectangular boxes.

Part 3 –

I try to find out what just happened.  The collections manager (in charge of all the boxes) tells me she saw him/them taking things but couldn’t leave her post, so phoned her manager to describe what was going on.

I saw a brief clip of photos and video of Maurice and his accomplices surrounded by stolen goods.  They seemed to be gloating over all they had stolen.

When I asked Maurice what he had stolen and why he said, it was “just jam” (i.e. jelly) and that he was “giving it to the poor.”

It was clear to me it was not jam – the boxes were all different shapes and sizes—and he wasn’t going to give it to the poor.  He was a liar and a thief.

Interesting to me that it was clearly Maurice.  In real life he’s the head of the facility.  No one in the facility liked or trusted him.  Though I never personally had a problem with him he always struck me as someone who would be nice to your face but have no qualms about stabbing you in the back.

Impression –

…As I was journaling the dream I had the impression that God might confirm it in some way through my email.  As I read through emails, one was today’s Elijah List post with words from Donna Rigney including this:

“On September 2, 2025, Father declared, “Heaven and earth are Mine! I am coming to take back My creation and to release My children from the control and influence of wicked spirits. By My Spirit, I will be coming and retrieving what was stolen from Us.“

End of Dream(s)

What I believe the Lord is telling us prophetically in these dreams

In terms of timing, I believe that this is a NOW word and very accurate.  All 3 parts are significant:

1.  For most of us anyway, part 1 of the dream is kind of like when we hear or sense something is stirring but we aren’t quite sure yet what it is.  Our discerning of spirits tells us something is wrong with this situation or this person.  It may be somewhat distanced from us but we are at least semi-aware something is taking place in either the spirit or natural or both.  It heightens our sensitivity to “something is up.”  Well, this part 1 of the dream is warning us that something is up.  We need to pay attention to our discernment and look carefully at what is going on around us.
2. The meat of the story comes through in part 2 of the dream.  In  this dream, I believe we are watching 3 groups.  Satan and his crowd (represented by Maurice), the Ekklesia (those colleagues [i.e. believers in Christ] who are accepting the retrieved packages as they are thrown in their direction) and our fellow “colleagues” who do not want to have anything to do with the packages being thrown towards them.

• There is no doubt that satan (Maurice) and all demonic forces have been lying, stealing and deceiving. Their motivation is to lie, kill and destroy anything that is contrary to the truth of Scripture.  The view in the natural is that those deceived literally speak illogically and without commonsense.  They are violent, lawless, and condescending.  Their hatred of God and His people is tangible and audible.  The posture that they continually project is on the edge of insanity and it is repeated over and over as if in a script.  (Insanity is doing the same thing again and again expecting a different result.  Remember, satan cannot create.  He can only counterfeit what he has already seen.)  The violence of their words and their violent actions are demonic in nature.  It is totally self-absorbed and self-promoting.  Although they verbalize it in the opposite, their behaviors are designed to produce fear and bring control to a few while binding and victimizing the many.  These characteristics and behaviors are right out of satan’s playbook.  It has been seen throughout Biblical history.
• Those accepting the packages are the Ekklesia (the community of believers that Jesus is building into true citizens of the Kingdom of God). The packages are Kingdom assignments, Kingdom services, and Kingdom steps for advancement—especially the discipleship and the mentoring of new believers.  I believe they are accepting the “packages” with willingness and an eagerness to do whatever the “Package Creator desires to give them.   It is not about them; it is about the work of building and advancing the Kingdom in the earth.  And, they are becoming more and more visible.
• On the other hand, there are those believers rejecting the packages being thrown to them. Why wouldn’t a believer want what had been stolen from them?  Why would they want to remain in a state of fear or confusion—even when the thief had been identified and caught?  Could it be that they don’t want to be seen as offensive or controversial?  Are they afraid of confrontation or adversarial responses?  Could it be that they didn’t know what to do with the “package” thrown to them?  Whatever the case, it is clear these are believers that chose to not take part in the retrieval of what had been stolen.  They just stay silent—as if they have no voice.  Might they be labeled as lukewarm?  Are they tossed between two opinions and end in double-mindedness?  You will have to answer these questions.  This group of believers stand around the edge of the camp but because of their distance from the “fire of action”, they can become targets of the enemy and they miss the excitement of Kingdom living that is going on all around them.

3. Part 3 of the dream I believe points to a coming time of When the dust settles, we start to sort out what has happened.  The devil is a liar and a thief.   He is clearly seen for who he is.  He is caught and his defense is an obvious attempt to avoid justice.  His reason is so weak it is easily dispelled because it too is just another lie.   He is not sorry for his actions; he is only sorry that he got caught.   There is no justification possible for his sinful ways.  He is guilty.  The time has come for all believers to realize that Jesus is both Lamb and Lion.  Judgement is coming.  We leave that in the hands of the Lord.

Conclusion

I believe that to be “lukewarm” in this hour is a place with undesirable consequences—a place in which I don’t want to be.  If this dream is accurate, I believe we could see a type of separation within the believer community.  (Not like a church split separation, but more like a division in spirit—little “s”.)  To sit quietly aside in the face of blatant sin, I believe will have consequences.  I believe the Ekklesia will be rewarded with experiencing the love, power and presence of our mighty God while those who are lukewarm will miss the privilege of the same.  They will see God operate in and through their fellow-believers, but they won’t experience it themselves.  They won’t fully know on this side of heaven the full deliverance, love and power of the Lord.  I would liken it to Jesus’ parable of the 10 virgins.  You know this parable: 5 were prepared and able to attend the intimacy of the wedding feast.  The other 5 were not prepared, saw all of the lavish celebration but did not gain full entry into the feast.

Bringing this back to application for our today, the Kingdom of God is under incredible attack right now because the enemy knows that he has to stop us now or he is finished.  I believe there are generations coming that will carry the torch of the Kingdom well beyond this current generation.  You can already see them emerging in the current events of the day.  Thousands of young people in this nation are coming to the Lord.  Awakening and revival is upon us in these days.  The continuing of the generations is on the line and satan wants to stop it.  Prophet Johnny Enlow says, “The pain is for the awakening.  The awakening is for your children.”  Additionally, persecution is rampant around the world and the western church is just starting to feel it.  There will be more martyrs, but every time more witnesses and more power will be seen.  All of this is for Kingdom reformation.  When that is complete, our Savior will return.

Mat 24:6  “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. :7  “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. :8  “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. :9  “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. :10  “At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. :11  “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. :12  “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. :13  “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. :14  “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

In all of this, I believe victory is at hand.  I can smell it and taste it. BUT, for those who choose, we must finish the good fight.  A good fight is a fight that is won!  We must not back down.  We must not only hold the line but we must advance the line.  We must separate ourselves from the world of sinfulness that surrounds us on every side and boldly stand as Joshua and declare “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Jos 24:15)  If you choose to be a spectator, then you, like in the choosing of Gideons army of 300, will go to your home and miss the unimaginable victories afforded to the 300. (Judges 7:7-8)  Truly this is the hour of God’s power.  Will you be one who will volunteer freely?  (Ps 110:3)

Part 1

As we have been relating in our AIM prayer meetings, Bible Study, and other ministry assignments, there is an obvious and unprecedented season of violent spiritual warfare that is going on in this hour.   It is manifesting in the natural realm resulting in horrendous and tragic events.  On August 27^th, two children were sitting in pews at Mass when they were shot (ages 8 &10) and killed.  Fourteen other children ages 6-15 were injured in the shooting. Three adults, parishioners in their 80s who were attending Mass, were also shot.  On September 10^th, on the campus of Utah Valley University,  Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA was horrendously martyred in front of thousands.  This past weekend at a Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints (Mormon faith) in Michigan, 4 people were killed, 8 injured and the church burned to the ground.

Fox News reported that “the Family Research Council, an evangelical nonprofit and activist group, identified that in the United States 1,384 incidents of hostility against U.S. churches between January 2018 and December 2024.  The group recorded 50 incidents in 2018, 83 in 2019, 55 in 2020 and 98 in 2021.   The report then found a dramatic rise in incidents beginning in 2022 when there were 198 recorded instances, followed by 485 in 2023 and 415 in 2024.”  Another separate news report stated that “in 2025 so far there have been 324 mass shootings in 2025 in the US.”  (It does not state how many took place against churches or Christians.)  This week President Donald Trump said that Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world.  It has been reported that in Nigeria alone, 100,000 Christians have been killed since 2009, and over 18,000 churches burned.

With all of this going on and if you look carefully from heaven’s perspective, you will see that two positions within Christianity have emerged.  This is a sad observation but unfortunately true.

• On the one hand, many bold outspoken Christian leaders are, in fact, raising their voices and teaching or preaching messages on spiritual warfare and boldness accompanied by non-violent resistance, worship, and prayer. These leaders are emphasizing holding the line against sin and evil, and they are in unwavering support of Biblical truth.  They are vocally standing up against the face of evil and therefore against those who speak it from the halls of government, media and marketplace.  They are boldly representing the Kingdom of God on a public platform.  This posture is clearly displayed and supported in the Book of Acts as the Apostles stood boldly against political adversaries, false teachers, and sinful actions (even within the community of believers) that were contrary to the Word of God.  (Example: Publicly stood before the Rulers and Elders of the people (Acts 4) and Ananias & Sapphira – Acts 5)
• On the other hand, in the midst of the public chaos, many pastors, marketplace leaders, and other ministry groups have adopted a posture of keeping their followers away from social, cultural and political challenges with the rationale of maintaining a safe and unprovocative atmosphere. Basically saying, “we will watch while God deals with it.”  Simply put, they don’t want to make any waves.  They say for example: “government is best kept out of the church.  It is not for the church to be involved in government.”  A close study of Scripture quickly reveals this is not a Biblical truth.  Joseph, Daniel, David, Nehemiah, Esther, Jesus, and Paul are a few examples and were all involved in governmental issues that affected the nation of Israel and the Jews.  Each and every one of them stood against the hypocrisy of politics—including the politics within Israel and within the church—not just the ruling nation of the day.  (I hope you understand that there is a great difference between government and politics.  Kingdom alone infers there is a Godly structure and order.)

Some may disagree with me for what I am about to say.  However and without equivocation, I take my stand and will lead our ministry (Antioch International Ministries) with those boldly and publicly resisting evil no matter from what mountain of society the evil emerges.  Concern over losing people or finances?  It is not about the numbers of followers, but by overcoming fear through faith.  God can save by many or by few. (1 Sam. 14:6)  Fear will not enslave us or keep us bound.  We will “overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.”  “They loved not their lives unto death.” (Rev 12:11)  It is not about finances.  God knows every sparrow that falls and that they need fed.  Are we not more valuable than these?  (Matt 10: 29-31)

I will close Part 1 of this blog by directing you to a very contemporary view of the issue I just outlined.  In this matter of spiritual warfare and divided thought, I direct your attention to Monday’s (9/29) Flashpoint broadcast.  I will tell you that it is strong in opinion, but it is in line with the posture of bold resistance that is necessary for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.  Brothers and Sisters in Christ, persecution and separation from this world’s way of seeing and doing is a Biblical truth—a Biblical fact.  As Christians, it is a given from the lips of Christ Himself.  He said:

Joh 16:33  “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

Mat 5:10  “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Joh 15 :20  “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.‘ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. :21  “But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. :

I hope you will give yourself 1 hour to hear this through because these are critical days in the earth and for the Kingdom.  It is times like these that try men’s souls.

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.”
