Oh, Happy Day!

When was the last time you had a Happy Day? A real happy day starting when you woke up in the early morning until you fell asleep that evening. There is no way anyone can have a ‘happy day’ without finding great mercy and total forgiveness in Jesus each and every day.

If you have not listened to Oh Happy Day by the Edwin Hawkins Singers you need to! Still to this day even after listening to it for the first time 50 years ago this song moves me to tears, rejoicing, and into the presence of God. (Yes, every time I listen and sing it.) Why a happy day? “Jesus washed my sins away! Jesus taught me to watch, fight and pray…to live rejoicing every day!”

Where is the blood of Jesus in your life? Is there a battle to fight which Jesus has brought your way? Are you rejoicing? We are in a battle, Church so where is your rejoicing?

Church, you cannot stand in battle, fight the good fight of faith, or find rejoicing without true forgiveness, receiving great mercy, and without the blood of Jesus flowing over your life and into your veins. Only in standing at the foot of the Cross, watching Jesus being crucified will you find forgiveness for all your sins, iniquities, faults, and weaknesses.

If you are not allowing the Holy Spirit to search your life for sins and iniquities you are failing the directive of Christ (His command how to pray) and denying the operation of the Spirit in your life. Sin is one thing (what you did wrong based on the truth of the Gospel, the Bible, and immoral behavior), but iniquities are something much different. Iniquities are the effects of your sin upon others—the cause and effect of your sin—the consequences of your sin.

Forgiveness is not just for your sin by doing ‘wrong things’ but Jesus wants to cleanse you from the effects of your sin on others—all the consequences of your sin—yes, your iniquities. We must ask for forgiveness that encompasses not only what we did wrong (our sin) but all the trouble, hurt, offenses, and anything else our sin caused (our iniquities).

When I ask for forgiveness I also ask for God to also forgive and heal all the wrong, hurt, and pain my sin caused. I want complete, total, and all-encompassing forgiveness—forgiveness for myself and the power my sin caused on others.

I want everything made right that my sin made wrong. Jesus did not die in vain for me—I will find forgiveness for myself and whatever wrong my sin caused! This is Jesus’s forgiveness for me, you, and all who call upon His Name asking for forgiveness.

The Wisdom of God—Is never what you ‘think’ it is!

The wisdom of God is a mystery to most members of the body of Christ. We often ‘think’ we understand God’s ways and His wisdom, but that is rarely the case. Even when Jesus walked the earth the people of Jerusalem and even His disciples did not come close to understanding what God wanted or how God works. They thought because they were religious that they knew what God was going to do next and what God wanted. Yes, the very beginning of the Early Church was deeply-seated in pride and ignorance.

Jesus said, “Wisdom is justified (or vindicated) of her children.” (KJV, Luke 7:34-35 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.) What did Jesus know that we do not know?

Simply, wisdom is not what we see, rationalize, or pride ourselves on knowing. Wisdom is found only in the process of discovering what the will of God is—it is the finding of the purposes and action plans of God so we can respond to what those are which leads us to the operation of our faith. Faith comes only after wisdom and the ‘prime directive’ of wisdom is for us to respond to God in faith.

It is this ‘discovery-process’ that the Church is failing so miserable at this time in history. The church should never allow the media, CDC, or man’ laws to dictate what we think or how we respond to what is taking place in America. If the disciples of Christ had their way, Jesus would never have been crucified and the Kingdom of God would have never been given to us.

I can tell the Church in all truth and with the authority of the Spirit and Word of God (the Bible), God’s judgment is coming and will fall upon America for this reason only, “You did not recognize nor accepted the will of God—you did not see the wisdom of God in this your generation. So, God’s judgment will come like a thief and in darkness, and everything you hold dear and consider your strength will be taken from you.”

Luke 19: And when He (Jesus) approached, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank before you, and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation”

As it was with Jerusalem so will it be with America. It is indeed a time of weeping!

My Interpretation…one day left!

This is my interpretation regarding what I have been receiving from the Lord since Election Day, November 3, 2020. Please note that I do not consider myself a prophet nor a pastor or teacher. I am not important nor do I seek fame, but I have asked the Lord years ago to give me the wisdom and power of the “two witnesses” as spoken in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

I do not think any prophet should interpret what they say, that should be left to others in the Body of Christ. Nevertheless, what America is experiencing are the ‘birth-pains’ of the coming of Jesus Christ. We are in a battle at this time; it is a battle for the very survival of the Church as we know it. God is trying us individually and corporately. How we respond to what He asks of us, how we decide when we are tried, and to what extent we “Wash our robes of righteousness in the blood of Jesus Christ” will determine our readiness to be prepared for Christ’s Second Coming.

Do this always! We are to lift our hands and hearts to God in heaven and receive the light of heaven to show us, guide us, and give us the victory in the battle in front of us—just as Moses did in his battle against the enemies of the people of Israel.

Also, we must no longer take our ‘marching orders’ from the evil one, governments, or cultural norms (read Revelation). Since just after the first of the year the Church has been taking orders from governments or agencies of various world governments. Where does this come from? It comes from the antichrist. Repent Church and redeem the ‘time and season’ that the Lord has placed before us. This is why, I believe, God gave me instructions on what to do tomorrow, posted Nov 5th (read my article titled, November 8th, A Blessing or a Curse) on my blog, wwjwmtd.com. You have only today to decide!

We must gather together without fear and in the unity of the Spirit to solely worship and praise the Lord. Some churches have been doing these ignoring coronavirus restrictions and others have conducted on-line services while still leaving the doors of their churches open for people to come in and worship while the leaders of the churches were ‘live-streaming’ their service. What the Lord showed me that those who tried to still offer services to their members (attending in person their church services), God was pleased with them even though they had “little strength”, but the churches who did not keep their doors open were in danger of “God removing their candlestick” as stated in Revelation.

We must be bold and a light that shines throughout the world—unashamed with the love and power of the Gospel of Christ. We must be willing to be criticized and rejected. This is the calling of Christ, “Deny oneself, pick up the cross Christ daily as given to each of us, and follow Him doing what He did and has commanded us to do.” Revelation 22:12, NIV: "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.”

It’s a Battle

Do not think that God’s will is ‘a walk in the park on a bright sunny day’. To receive God’s will is and always will be a fight.That is why my previous two articles are about staying the course and willing to fight. God does not fight like the wars that take place on a daily basis throughout the world; God’s battles take spiritual weapons and spiritual character.

This is why I said we must be ‘as Moses did’—holding up our hands and lifting our voices to heaven. It is through praise and thankfulness that victories are won on earth when it is God’s purposes and plans that are at stake. I worship and praise the Father & Son for all they have done and want to accomplish. This is how I fight to see God’s will done.

Also, I recently wrote an article about worshipping God on November 8th. We must worship God in truth and in Spirit regardless of what is taking place and in opposition to the fear of the coronavirus. There are things God wants us to do and often they are actions on faith and love that the world needs to see, and we need to experience.

Let’s not be weak in these times of trial and battle. “Fight the good fight of faith,” the apostle Paul said. We must be warriors for Christ and look to Him for any and all victories.

Make sure you read, consider, and respond to my two recent articles (dated Nov. 4th and 5th). Your future depends on your character and your battle readiness.

November 8th/A Blessing or a Curse

On November the 4th as I was waking up early in the morning, God began to talk to me through a series of short dreams. He instructed me to tell His people to have a worship/praise service in their churches. Here are God’s requirements for His service:

1. The service may be held at any time but on November 8th, this Sunday. (The number “8” is important because it signifies both a blessing and a curse.)

2. The service is to have no time restraints and it can be a special service or take the place of a regular service.

3. There should be no preaching, no offering, and no announcements.

4. Everyone should be present from young children through adults.

5. The church is to be open to everyone and anyone.

6. Worship and praise is the purpose of the service—sing only songs that give glory and praise to God. Do not sing songs about yourselves.

7. The focus of the service is for praise, prayer, reading of Scriptures, and the taking of Communion (if that can be arranged).

8. Each congregation is to gather in praise and prayer in order to find the ‘unity of the Spirit’, to receive and offer forgiveness, to pray for each other, and to see ‘God’s will be done’.

If you are questioned about ‘restrictions regarding the coronavirus’, you are to answer, “The Lord has asked us to come into His House to worship and praise Him alone on this day (Nov 8th)". This is a one-time event and to be done only this coming Sunday (I do not know why).

God told me that every group of worshippers, every church, every assembly that gather in His Name and worship Him using the above guidelines on Nov. 8th only, God will pour out a blessing(s) on the church and every believer. Every church that does not meet together will receive a curse from Him—even a curse of poverty, disfavor with the Son, and the removal of the churches’ light. It is this important!

As I have stated I do not know why, nor what the outcomes will be, and neither the timing. You have 3 days to prepare as Christ was 3 days in hell only to be raised from the dead. May the Lord give you strength and determination to do His will in such a time as this!

As Moses…

As Moses held up his arms & hands during the battle over the promised land, so should we praise God with our hands and hearts lifted up to heaven. The light from the sun continued to shine, so should we praise God for the light of God and heaven to continue to shine during this time of battle—the battle of the 2020 elections.

We must praise God and see the light of heaven shine during the final stages of the battle before us. Yes, praise God forever and lift up your voice and hands to heaven. It is God who should be praised, and God alone should receive all glory and praise. This is what His children do in battle. Praise the Lord; Praise Him Forever!

by Cheryl Amabile EXINGENCY! exingency – (noun) an urgent need or demand Our team gathered just before our morning prayer meeting at the end of this week and found that the Lord had deposited a confirming word among us. One of our leaders had been awakened in the night hearing: “We must press in NOW!” Another leader was burdened with a dream from a few years ago in which there were angels with brooms sweeping the Supreme Court and awaiting their commissioning to sweep the House and the Senate too and to clean off the white-washed walls. Then, Chris Berglund shared a dream he had just received that morning: In Chris’ dream, Lou Engle had gathered a number of people and was telling us all, “We have a pro-life, pro-Israel, and pro-independent-from-nations man in office and tonight we’re going to a movie called ‘Exingency,’ for it’s time to take the Legislative Branch!” Chris was not even familiar with the word “exingency.” He had to look it up in a dictionary when he awoke. But the sense in the dream was that we had secured President Trump’s seat in prayer and it was now urgent that we focused on the House and the Senate.

This is not the first time that God has prophetically exhorted us to win the spiritual battle over the legislature. Earlier this year, we received a dream in which Lou Engle had been appointed by President Trump to be the “U.S. Intercessor," a position that came with authority over Nancy Pelosi. We believe this dream is not just about Lou, but about a whole company of intercessors who are taking their place along with this general of intercession. We also know that we battle not against flesh and blood, i.e. Nancy Pelosi, but against the powers and principalities that hold sway over her and her position as the majority leader in the House of Representatives. As we’ve been shown previously, these are “Trump/Truman Times” and we need to win both the House and the Senate for the fullness of God’s purposes to prevail in this season. It has caught our attention that in President Truman’s historic re-election (which defied both the polls and the headlines!) he also swept the House and the Senate, making way for unhindered policy to go forth.

Presently, there is much more ground to be taken in order to turn America back to righteousness and fulfill our calling on behalf of Israel and the nations of the earth. Therefore, we must do our part in intercession, and voting, to bring all three branches of government into agreement with God’s pro-life, pro-Israel and pro-indepentant-of-nations agenda. Along these lines, another dream that is weighing heavily upon us, is a dream Chris had in which those who would pay the price would become God’s S.W.A.T. team on an important assignment. In the dream there was a S.W.A.T. tent that few would enter. The cost was compared to the price Daniel paid when he “loved not his life unto death” (Rev 12:11) and opened his windows before all of Babylon (Dan 6:10). Chris stepped under the S.W.A.T. banner at the entrance of the tent and approached a table with the letters EMP on it. EMP then changed to WMP with a voter registration card beneath it. Chris realized in the dream, “Oh, this is Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.” A voice in the tent announced, “Our weapons are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” Chris knew we had been given power and authority over these states but would need to pay a price and use the spiritual weapons we had been given for warfare. We understand that we’ve been given many spiritual weapons, but interestingly, the phrase “Weapons of Our Warfare” (and it’s acronym W.O.W.) has actually been emphasized to us in past dreams referencing the Esther Fast and its power to contend against the “World Of Witchraft” (another W.O.W.). With tonight being the eve of Halloween and a full moon; with myriads of witches across the globe wielding the powers of darkness against Tuesday’s vote; with rebellious nations seeking to subdue America as the defending wall against globalism; we must not underplay the significance of God highlighting the Esther Fast as the weapon needed to shatter the affront of Satan over these next three days. Let us plead the blood of Jesus over Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and decree the interrupting of the demonic power grid of darkness and deception over these states prior to the election. That “Better Blood,” the blood that “speaks a better word than the blood of Abel,” literally has a frequency – the very sound of mercy – that triumphs over sin and any evil that the enemy can array against us. So, we urge you over these next three days to pummel the airways over Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania with the blood of Jesus and win the vote in these three states.

Truly the hour is urgent, but it is not too late. In Lou Engle’s own words, "Esther’s three-day fast broke the power of Haman’s witchcraft and genocidal decree and the whole public policy of the Persian empire was reversed. Such a turn-around is called ‘peripety’ – a sudden reversal of fortunes. In one moment a king can have a sleepless night. In one moment millions can have a dream and change their votes. God is the God of Peripety. The next three days can reverse the literal trajectory of the enemy’s plans and God can interject his narrative into the storyline of this nation!"

I Have Gophers

I have a small ranch and the ranch has gophers. I do not think you can go anywhere in CA where gophers are not found. They destroy trees and eat just about everything you plant. These pests have given me more problems and headaches than all the other wildlife combined.

I have often questioned why God created these creatures. God could have created a gopher to dig holes but not eat tree roots; this would have made my life so much better & easier. I would not have lost about 40 fruit trees in 20 years.

I have walked up to a fruit tree that is beginning to lean and once I try to straighten it out, it just falls over to the ground—all the roots are gone, and it did not give much notice to what was happening to its roots hidden by the soil. This is exactly what is taking place in so many Christians’ lives today.

Hebrews 12:15 states, “See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” Bitterness is like ‘a root’ or as a hidden sickness in one’s life, but from experience, I believe it is more like a gopher that eats away at the very source of one’s life in Christ—the gift of the grace of God working in your life.

As a gopher cannot be noticed, it stays hidden in the ground. The bitterness stays undetected in one’s life, slowly eating away at the truth and grace of God that is keeping you alive in Him. After a while there is no life within you, it is gone—eaten away, never to return, never to be healed.

We become bitter in so many ways: not willing to forgive others, mad at God for whatever the reason, feelings of injustice and personal attacks, unwilling to have patience with others, thoughts that it is too hard to serve God, believing God does not love us—can not seem to please God, and lastly, becoming critical of the Body of Christ or the leadership of the Church. It is easy to become bitter, that is why we must offer Godly forgiveness to others and accept forgiveness from God (in that order).

Indeed, we are not perfect, and neither are others. It is time to allow the Holy Spirit to search not only our hearts but also our mind, soul, and spirit/strength to see if there is any bitterness (gophers) in our lives eating away at the Grace of God in our lives.

We must become perfect in Christ and that only comes through forgiveness and the washing & cleansing of His blood in every part of who we are and what we do. Let’s be like Jesus and find forgiveness for all hurt, bitterness, and resentment that has been eating away our love and joy for God and others. Get rid of those gophers!

The Follow-up to ‘Things We Should Have Done’

I stated in the previous article, “Too often our repentance is only about what we did wrong, but God says in Scripture that what you did not do (that is when you had the ability and power to do good) in refusing to help others or stand against evil is often much more harmful than your sin.”

Satan wants the Church to be passive and in limbo—too busy or afraid to act. We must never be there! What I wrote yesterday was an article on the wisdom of God, but we need the very presence of God to move and change us. Here are some helpful things you can do to ignite the spark of God’s light in your life and begin to allow the presence of God to heal, change, and motivate you to always “Do the Jesus thing” and avoid “What you did not do”.

First, purchase/download in order to view the film, “A Man Called Norman” by Focus on the Family. It came out in the ’80s. Do whatever you can to see this movie—it will move you like no other movie to become compassionate and ‘what to do’ for others.

Immediately, download the song, “The Gospel According to Luke” by Skip Ewing. It is one of these songs that you cannot just listen to one-time. It will bring the presence of God into your life so to change your behavior from “what you did not do” to “what Jesus just did through me”. (You might only find the song in Skip Ewing’s album of his greatest hits; it was a #1 hit song in 1989.)

We need the Holy Spirit’s tools in our lives that are actively being stirred-up so we can serve Jesus Christ. Do not fail yourself or allow Satan to cause you to be too busy not to see and hear the two items I just mentioned to you. They will change your life forever!
