David Hauser’s Testimony

All Roads Lead through Jericho Series

At the end of 2016, I felt God say that in the following year there would be a monumental move of God. Do I dare say ‘A Year of Jubilee’, an entering into God’s promises? Sometimes we wonder if we are hearing God speak, or is it a form of indigestion.

Does the Lord tarry when we feel He is giving us a distinctive word through the Holy Spirit? I found, as I read recent articles from many important men and woman of God, that God was going to do something unique in the Body of Christ. So I felt I was not alone in my desire to hear what God was saying in the coming year, 2017.

This wasn’t about politics or about what I was seeing in the Church, but it was a heartfelt belief that God was going to move in a dynamic way to fulfill His word to believers and to Churches who in some cases felt that that they were barely hanging on.

I have been waiting a week trying to decide whether to send this writing to my friends in the ministry. Tonight I saw this Scripture found in Amos 4:13 NIV" …that God makes His thoughts known to mankind."

In the last few days God quickened to me a word that I had heard through my friend Steven Wentland, "that all roads that lead to our promise land, must go through Jericho.” The Jericho of the Bible is an amazing history.

The walls of Jericho were so formidable that houses were built upon them. It was the strongest fortress in all of the land of Canaan. It was the one-major stronghold of the enemies of Israel that stood to prevent the fulfillment of what God had promised. (Of course, there were other places that had to be taken also by Israel.)

The city was close traditionally to the scene of Christ temptation. It was also in the ‘lot’ given to the tribe of Benjamin, which means "son of my right hand," which symbolizes strength through the Holy Spirit. It takes the ‘living power’ of the Holy Spirit, with our spirit responding to Him, for victory to be realized. (There is much more to be said and to be learned, and you can explore this later in your personal Bible study time.)

The point I am making and what I will call a ‘prophetic promise’ is that God wishes to do something for you, for your ministry, for your family, and for your church.

Fulfillment of God’s promises cannot bypass ‘Jericho’. What is our Jericho? For me it is something very distinctive that He said to me. For you it could be something else, on your road to the fulfillment of God’s promises in our ministry, our life, or our family.

We cannot bypass what God is speaking to us, ignoring what God has said, if there is going to be a fulfillment of God’s best in our lives or the ministry He has given us.

When God speaks it is often in two stages. First He is looking to our willingness to obey and then when we do; then He will speak a second time to bring us into a place of fulfillment. For the Israelites they had to hear first the protocol of what to do. Then they had to by faith move in unity, moving responsively, and learning to keep guard over their mouth until they shouted and blew the trumpet. Then God in response to their faithfulness brought the wall down.

2017 holds the promise of fulfillment, if we will not bypass Jericho!

Only Love Today by Rachel Macy Stafford

Being softer you can hear more, learn more, feel more love more.

(Excerpted with permission from Only Love Today by Rachel Macy Stafford)

I’ve had enough of my hard edges.
I’m tired of straining my voice.
I’d like to loosen up and laugh a little more,
be positive rather than negative.

I’d like to feel the upward curve of my lips.
I’d like to surrender control of things over which I have no control.
I’d like to let things unfold in their own time, in their own way.
I’d like to participate joyfully in this fleeting life.

I’d like to be softer
toward him,
toward her,
toward myself.

Thus, this will be the year of my softening.
And this is my vow:

I vow to listen to opinions. I don’t always have to be right.
I don’t always have to agree or have the last word.

I vow to hand over the hairbrush, the pile of laundry, the school project, and the task before me. “How would you do it?” I will ask.

I vow to step aside and respect a new approach.
Success might be difficult to see at first; I vow to keep looking.

I vow to be more accepting of quirks and mannerisms.
I vow to be more accepting of tastes and styles unlike my own.

I vow to remember he is in the process of becoming; she is in the process of finding her way. And they are more apt to do it if I stop telling them how.

I vow to regard “weaknesses” as hidden strengths.
Inner gifts can be nurtured when I stop plotting ways to alter, change, and “improve.”

I vow to greet my family — and myself — with a loving smile, no matter what happened yesterday. Grudge holding only hurts us all.

I vow to pause before correcting.
I will take a moment to consider if the mistake even needs to be mentioned at all.

I vow to stop nitpicking until it bleeds.
I vow to demand less and inquire more.
I vow to listen, consider, and expand my thinking.

I vow to be a voice of encouragement in a demeaning world.
I vow to be a silver lining spotter in my family’s little world.
I vow to be softer today than I was yesterday — a softer voice, a softer posture, a softer touch, a softer thought, a softer timetable.
I vow to be softer toward the imperfect human being inside me and the one beside me.

By being softer I can hear more, learn more, feel more, and love more.

At last I will fully see I will see his colors.
I will see her colors.
I will see my colors.
Perhaps for the very first time.
The colors might take my breath away,
bring me to tears,
or offer long-awaited peace.
I will soften in order to illuminate the colors of the soul
I will soften so the human being within me and beside me
can shine.

Today’s Reminder

It is not always possible for me to choose love in the midst of challenging situations, but I can definitely try to soften — soften my voice, my touch, my opinion, and my timetable. Even a little softening goes a long way to bring peace to the situation. Today I will celebrate each time I soften when my first instinct is to harden.

Excerpted with permission from Only Love Today by Rachel Macy Stafford, copyright Rachel Macy Stafford.

Your Turn

If we don’t decide, if we don’t determine, if we don’t vow to soften, we will harden. Hardness creeps upon us without us even being aware, doesn’t it? In Psalm 51:17 King David says, “My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart You, God, will not despise.” May we pray the same today: Jesus, we offer You our hearts in confession that they tend to stray from Christlikeness. Help us to be soft like You, and broken with love for You and for those around us.

I’m Not Lost, I’ve Got 2

All Roads Lead through Jericho Series

It’s not hard to get lost. Trying to find your way to a destination is often not as easy as it seems. Google has helped with offering satellite directions, and there are a few apps that offer precise directions to wherever. However, there is no ‘simple app’ in finding ‘which way to go’ in your spiritual walk with God—no yellow brick road—no ‘natural means’ for a spiritual journey.

God is not found outside of Jesus Christ. Often we wonder where He is when we need Him. We often get lost. Is the god we worship on some journey or taking a nap—this is what the prophet Elijah spoke about the god, Baal, to the false prophets of Jezebel (I Kings chapter 18).

God does have a method, a means, ‘to find your way’. God chose the ‘number 2’. Yes, 2! Just like the computer system that operates with the binary system of 2, so does God. God understands the power of “2”, and has made “2 witnesses” to be the groundwork of how He guides His will on the earth.

God says, “The Spirit and the Word agree as one.” This is the best way to know what God wants from you or to find your way with God—depend on the Bible (God’s Word) and the Holy Spirit to direct you. Nevertheless, there are other means to ‘staying found’—being un-lost.

God confirms what He is telling us through witnesses. I always look for confirmation to what God wants me to do—I look, no I expect, a second word or example from the Lord, i.e. I look for the number “2”. There has to be an agreement; a witness to what I initially am giving from the Lord. (The Bible has so many examples of this.)

If I have a dream from the Lord, I look for a confirmation from another source, often a call or letter from a friend telling me something that confirms the dream. If I receive a spoken word from a minister/friend, I look for a confirmation from ‘an outside source’ that will agree to what was said to me. I just look for 2 sources to agree. This way I know for sure what God is asking of me or telling me to do.

Satan gets advantage over us, as he did over Eve and so many others in the Bible, when we listen to just ‘one source’ for guidance. We need to be careful. This is why the Bible talks about ‘checks and balances’ when it comes to the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit and why God sends His ministers into the world by “2’s”.

God promises to “confirm His Word with signs and wonders” (the number 2 in operation) so we might know it is Him who is being manifested to us. Do not get lost. Be prepared for God to confirm everything He is telling you through whatever means or from whoever. God never wants us confused or lost. He knows the way because He is the way.

The Principle of Sharpening

A prophetic & theological word from Otis & Sue Davis

"The Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their plows, hoes, axes, and sickles sharpened”.— 1 Samuel 13:20 gntd

We are engaged in a great war with the Philistines of evil. Every weapon within our reach must be used. Preaching, teaching, praying, giving, all must be brought into action, and talents which not thought to serve as weapons, must now be employed. Plow points, hoes, axes, and sickles, may all be useful in slaying Philistines; rough tools may deal hard blows, and killing need not be elegantly done, so long as it is done effectually.

Each moment of time, in season or out of season; each fragment of ability, educated or untutored; each opportunity, favorable or unfavorable, must be used, for our foes are many and our force is small in size. Most of our tools want sharpening; we need quickness of perception, tact, energy, promptness, in a word, complete adaptation for the Lord’s work. Practical common sense is a very scarce thing among the conductors of Christian enterprises. We might learn from our enemies if we would, and so make the Philistines sharpen our weapons.

This morning let us determine to sharpen our zeal during this day by the aid of the Holy Spirit. See the energy of our enemies, how they travel the sea and land to promote their evil. Are they alone to exhibit patience and self-sacrifice? Observe the prince of darkness, how persevering in his endeavors, how unabashed in his attempts, how daring in his plans, how thoughtful in his plots, how energetic in all! The devils are united as one man in their infamous rebellion, while we believers in Jesus are divided in our service of God, and scarcely ever work together. By Satan’s diabolical industry we may learn to go about like good Samaritans, seeking whom we may bless! (March 2, AM from Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1997, 2003, 2006 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)

“All things work together for good, for those who love God and are called according to his purpose.” John 8.28 Even our enemies do us good, because often we do not do until we are adequately motivated, energized which sometimes only our enemies provide. We prepare, plan, train, develop strategy and tactics, sharpen our weapons, oil our shields, work to strengthen ourselves—Most importantly draw close to the Lord, learn of him, know him, ask him —we can do nothing without him, but with him all things are possible. He can use anything and anybody; even the jawbone of an ass or the talking ass.

By being connected to the true vine; abiding in him we are in the life flow producing healthy ripe fruit in season. We engage our god given “Sound Mind” 2 Timothy 1.7 in searching, seeking, thinking, asking, and finding creative solutions for meeting the challenges and opportunities ahead. Coming In —-Abiding in Peace, rest, Joy, re-charging, and then wanting to go out. Going out to engage, to fight the Battle with others being united thru Christ and living the Word of God. We are satisfied when things change, then new issues arise, dynamic comes, but we are able to continue to overcome evil with good with Holy Spirit by the Word and the authority of Christ.

Christ’s authority –We enter on this through yielding to the authority of Christ. The essence of the eternal life is not endless existence. That might be a curse rather than a blessing. This is eternal life — to enter into the light and freedom and blessedness of a true knowledge of God as He is revealed in Christ. It is the life of the spirit which can never taste of death.

God has given His Son authority to win us by love, not to sway us by force. "Knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matt 7:7; Luke 11:9. There is the knocker. Now, when we go to God and plead the name of Christ, its means that we plead the authority of Christ, that we ask of God as though we were in Christ’s stead, and expect Him to give it to us as if He were giving it to Jesus and like Jesus such requests must be in accordance with the Father as in John 5:19 “So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the truth; the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing.”

Pleading the promise gives such a knock at the gate of heaven that must be opened in God’s perfect timing and will. The great knocker is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Biblical Illustrator Copyright © 2002, 2003, 2006 Ages Software, Inc.; Biblesoft, Inc. (Written by Otis and Sue Davis)

Oh California!

All Roads Lead to Jericho Series

Some articles are hard to write; this is one of those articles. It is not hard to make the case that California is leading the nation in sin. We major in what displeases God. Not only do we continue to create more ‘unspeakable sins’ but we ‘market our sin’ throughout the world.

Often my heart feels broken for the sin round about me. When I travel in the state I sense how sin has grown in particular areas—it is oppressive at times. There are counties that were once conservative and strong in Christ, but now Satan is ‘working undercover’ in the lives of Christian people.

It is evident that areas that once served Christ are busy doing other things and/or concerned about trivial things rather than the purposes and action plans of God. We have become ‘people of little faith’ without direction and without power in the Gospel of Christ.

I am not angry nor am I defeated, but I am like John the Baptist, “A voice crying in the wilderness—clean up your ways and repent—God’s judgment is not far away.”

I cannot avoid what is about to take place. The Holy Spirit reminds me constantly, almost daily, about the tragedies that are about to overtake and destroy where we live in California. Some say the ‘big-one’ is coming. That is true. An earthquake so powerful that much of our coastline will be effective.

However, it will not stop with just one gigantic quake. There will be many frightening earthquakes in the ‘sun-shine state’. Quakes will not stop once they begin! The devastation will be ongoing and California will never recover. It will be like the city of Jericho—we will be unable to rebuild the state, as Joshua stated over Jericho. California will never see it past glory revived nor will people want to live here.

The writings of Jeremiah and Ezekiel are about to overtake our state. The call to all Californians is, ‘the Lord has considered our sin’. We must have a national revival! Not just for our nation but for Californians. God is not and will not refrain His Hand from judgment, but people can find hope and ability to avoid the direct consequences of God’s judgment on their live.

Repentance and works of righteousness are the only hope for each individual. You can mark my words—“God is going to uncover your shame, expose your sin, and send forth His judgment.” No person in California will be exempt from the Hand of God.

Oh, California—you have been warned! May we find mercy before judgment!

Changing Character/Changing Society

Building Character of the Month Series

God changes one’s character so you can change the culture around you. God does nothing in a vacuum. It becomes our duty if and when God touches our lives to touch the lives of others in our societies.

Because of this very reason, it is why God sends revivals among us. Without the moving of the Holy Spirit our cultures would become so dark and full of evil nothing good would take place. God sends revivals ‘every so often’ into national societies so His will would be accomplish on earth. It takes character to respond to the beginning of Spirit led revivals.

We often do not realize that a revival is taking place. It was like this with me during the beginnings of the Jesus Movement. I saw signs of something unique among an unlikely group of college age young people, and had no idea what was about to take place.

I am reminded of the Scripture, “Does anything good come out of Nazareth?” Before Jesus arrived on the scene John the Baptist was washing sins away in the Jordan River—people confessing their sin—this had never been done before.

I have recently noticed signs of another revival in America—a revival I had been telling you that would soon come to America and that we must be praying for God to send it to us.

Revival depends on character—individuals that want more of God but not just for themselves but for all others. This is the character God is looking for and what your prayers and personal character traits should look like:

1. Tell God you want to ‘come-home’. “I am a prodigal son/daughter and I want to come home God.”

2. Pray: “God, give me a ‘Spirit of Adoption’, I want you to be my Father and I your servant.”

3. Be not only broken in repentance but learn to and be a person of thankfulness. “God cause a spirit of thankfulness to be upon me for your glory alone.”

4. Last of all, “God, make me who I was always meant to be, not who I want to be. Make it happen—‘who I am in you’—how you see me—make it happen!”

When we show ‘the characteristic of revival’ in our lives then the love of God moves in among us and the light of revival begins. Revival begins with you and me—I see the signs already in America—thank you God for loving us—Come Lord Jesus, Come.

Why Pray God’s Word?

Part #2 A prophetic & theological word on prayer by Otis & Sue Davis

To Know the Truth: You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free. John 8.32 I pray your Word, O Lord to help me see and believe the Truth of your Word and of your Holy Spirit.

To Pray the Words of Eternal Life: Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” John 6.68 niv So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55.11 niv These words are not my words, they are your words, eternal words, ancient words from the beginning. I pray them with all expectation that they will not return empty but will accomplish your will and may I also accomplish your will.

To Find Forgiveness and Healing: And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. Mark 11.25 niv I humble myself to pray, to seek and to ask forgiveness for others so I may be forgiven and healed. Help O Lord not to hold on to anything against anyone, to Let it go! So I am not held by it.

To Find a Place to Stand: And we know ALL things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Romans 8.28 Stand on this Truth by believing, praying, and letting it be your safe and secure place to stand and to live. God’s Truth sustains us in ALL things even when we don’t understand, we don’t live on explanations, we live on true promises. Heavenly Father your Son Jesus is the only true foundation, the chief cornerstone, the Rock. There is no other, all other is sinking sand.

To See Reality: As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55.9niv When we pray God’s Word we look at our situation thru the lens of God’s Truth. We see from his higher perspective.

To Be in Sync: But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9 niv I am praying and asking you Oh Lord to help me set my expectations and goals in accordance with your higher timing, ways, and thoughts.

To Be Whole, Full of Joy: I am the true vine and my Father is the vinedresser, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. John 15:1,5,7,8,11 NASU

Apart from you we can do nothing and were dying withering unfruitful branches dangling useless. We pray and ask Oh Lord that we are abiding in you and your words are abiding in us, forming one complete fruitful organic vine flowing with life. In this vital unity of life we receive purpose, motivation, joy, and energy to bear much fruit, which glorifies our Heavenly Father. The Heavenly Vinedresser with patient skill has cut us off and grafted us in and continues pruning to make us even more fruitful.

To Worship: Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24 NIV Oh Lord, we pray and seek not man-made buildings or organizations, but a structure greater, grander, more magnificent; an Elegant Gleaming City of Light on a hill.
