親愛的朋友們：

我剛完成了在堪薩斯州威其塔市「榮耀前進」的服事！這是動員全國「得勝後備軍」的開始。我們必須有一個新的世代聯合軍隊，是被火充滿、願意在這地土上與祂的榮耀連結的。

 

最後的付款！

我要謝謝每一個擁有這塊地土的人。主在禮拜三的集體敬拜代禱中強烈地與我們相遇。就是在那時候，我們能以在主前舉起沿著州際公路35號的31畝土地的最後付款。我們現在必須加速動力進到第二個階段「佔領／居住」。

主的靈開始激動我心說：「我在建造一個特別的地方，要賜下盼望使全地上的殿興起。因為我需要許多的殿，就是百姓的帳幕，來顯明我的榮耀，我會有會幕，就是你們來聚集的地方，但我需要我百姓的殿充滿我的榮耀，我要充滿你們的殿！」

 

奧祕之門！

鮑伯‧史貝特作以下的分享：「我看見一個門，門上寫著『奧祕』。當門一打開，裡面全都是為這時刻存留著的發明、創造、配方。我相信主在說：『對那些相信我的人，我將要打開奧祕之門。在他們說：「我們沒有足夠的原油，沒有足夠的能源。」的地方，我有的能源甚至超乎你們的想像。我有產生能源的方法是以前不曾想像過的，我要藉著我百姓的手生產出來。他們再也不會說我們的地土缺乏能源。我要將法典的奧祕開啟給你們。你們會以超自然的智慧看事情，使得仇敵不能用以改變時候來敵對我的百姓。我在改變許多控制著列國體制的法規結構，我會將法規密碼給你們。』」

 

給為公民政府禱告 我國度戰士的話語

「我現在在改變你們的禱告生活。你們一直以一種方法為政治領袖，商業、銀行領袖和結構禱告。現在我要改變你們禱告的方式。在向著我舉手禱告的今年，你們會舉起我向你們顯示在官僚體系中的人的手來向我禱告。你們會向著我舉起那一隻手。若他們容許我抓住他們的手，我會在他們心中帶領他們進入新地。當我向他們提出幫助時，若他們拒絕我的手，他們會成為那在經營和工作上失去能力的人。

「今天我要開始改變那血氣的手臂。今天我要以一種方式開始改變那血氣的手臂和治理能力，你們會在地上看見一種新型式的治理出現。伸出他們的手不在乎他們，是你們會向我舉起他們的手，並說：『我帶著這人的手來到你面前。』我會知道你們的代禱什麼時候把那人的手舉起。你們的總統、國務卿和其他人，你們的市長、州長─我說將他們的手舉向我，把他們帶到我的天上。當我向他們伸手，若他們拒絕主的手掌權在未來的日子，他們的手就會在你們面前枯萎。

「我會將新的審判官放在位置上。我怎樣在地方性事務上為你審判會使你驚訝；要知道我可以為你來審判。這是公義介入的時刻，但你必須以新的方法把那些手帶到我面前。你們審判性和厭惡的禱告不能把那些執政者的手舉在我面前。若你們將那些當今執政者的手舉在我面前，我會判斷他們是否抵擋拒絕我的手，或是緊抓住我將要給他們的。

「我今天要留給你的門『就像是挪亞日子的門』。許多人會進來─就像是「不潔的」兩兩地進到方舟，而「公義的」以七倍地進到方舟一樣。我在下一個季節所開的門之類型和我引領經過的人會使你驚訝。但若你容讓我公義的法則在你裡面升起，你會比地上任何不潔的結構強大七倍。」

40天禱告焦點：修補更新、領受新生命力、向著下一個季節的應許前進

以下是新的七天禱告焦點：

 

第26日

我們以吹號開始這一個季節。50隻號角宣告季節的更換。在聖經解釋文學和新約裡，號角與以色列的王─彌賽亞的再來大有關係。彌賽亞再來時，會以號角聲知會以色列！並且主神必吹號角（迦9:14）。「因為主必親自從天降臨，有呼叫的聲音和天使長的聲音，又有　神的號吹響。」（帖前4:16）

我希望過去幾天你們有許多人能參加我們的新年聚集。我們在主給我們所有人為基業的地土上的帳蓬裡展開這個季節AYIN，5770年。你們有未來和希望。在過去季節的一片泥沼中，你們對未來有偉大的希望。馬汀和娜瑪‧沙維斯是以色列來的貴客。她分享說以色列正經歷現代史中最嚴重的乾旱。號角吹起後，有從耶路撒冷捎來的消息：雨開始下了！秋雨是開始栽植時所需的雨。所以在這季節開始時，雨已開始下了。呼求春雨降下，就是植物將成熟時和榖類收成時所需的春雨。

YOM KIPPUR，贖罪日。提醒你們，吹角後接下來的十天稱為「贖罪期」，在此期間我們應該省察自己，尋求悔改，與人和好。萬王之王，萬主之主臨到必然使我們「潔淨我們的行為」。就像彼得總結世代的末了時所說的：「但主的日子要像賊來到一樣。那日，天必大有響聲廢去，有形質的都要被烈火銷化，地和其上的物都要燒盡了。這一切既然都要如此銷化，你們為人該當怎樣聖潔，怎樣敬虔，切切仰望神的日子來到。」（彼後3:10-12）

Kippur一字是與救贖相關。Kippur是指「藉著代替的方式贖回」。在這一日一隻公山羊會被宰殺，而將國家所承認的罪歸到另一隻公山羊頭上，並將之帶到猶大曠野釋放。這隻羊是被認為受咒詛的─而以色列常用的咒詛的字就是希伯來文的「代罪羔羊」。現代，有些猶太人買雞來宰殺，事前先承認他們的罪，將之歸到雞的頭上，使牠擔負他們的罪孽。許多猶太人執行「Tashlich」─將象徵他們罪的石頭丟到溪流中，一邊背頌彌迦書7:18-20。在贖罪日，所有的宗教猶太人和許多非宗教猶太人會在會堂裡待一整天，承認他們的罪，尋求饒恕，好在來年的生命冊上有個「好記錄」。

當施洗約翰在約旦河為那些悔改的人施洗時，看見耶穌來找他，他就說：「看哪，神的羔羊，除去（或譯：背負）世人罪孽的！」（Hineh! Seh haElohim ha'noseh hatat ha'Olam!）希伯來文「饒恕」主要有兩個字，其一是soleah（詩25:11），是指饒恕。但是另一個字noseh（同一詩篇18節），它的字根是帶走或「背負」罪孽而去。我們必須被饒恕，而且我們的罪孽需要被帶走。22節呼籲神「救贖以色列脫離她一切的愁苦。」惟有祂能提供救贖…就是在祂愛子的寶血裡。

當我們的生命以神的救贖計劃為中心時，就會有成功。藉著禱告尋求主，讓神的靈來潔淨我們，我們的異象就會煉淨。

悔改不該是我們拒絕談論的用詞。因著耶穌的犧牲，祂的死，祂流的寶血，所帶來的敬畏和感恩會引發真實的悔改。當你們來到神的寶座前，俯伏敬拜那付出祂自己無瑕的生命來拯救你們出離地獄計謀的那一位。

閱讀／羅馬書3章和11章。

 

第27天

每個新年起首的十天贖罪期提醒了我們，這是我們可以從過去季節的罪污中被潔淨、得自由的機會。每一年，無論我們的環境有多少爭戰在轟炸著我們，總有許多的祝福是給我們領受和擁抱的。最近，我才結束三天行程從辦公室回到家，發現以撒我的20歲兒子在彈鋼琴。我聽到他在唱歌，就被吸引到他的房間前。當我細聽，可以聽到「潔淨」一詞重唱了好多次。他曾寫了一首關於浪子只想回家的歌。在這歌裡有回家和被潔淨的呼喊。

許多人看悔改為不好的詞，跟我們曾做了羞恥的事有關。悔改是從罪、不順服或悖逆中轉離。然而，這動作不光是轉離，更是轉回歸向神（太9:13；路5:32）悔改指心意的改變（創6:6-7），或是悔恨的感覺，或是懊悔過去的行為（太27:3）。無論如何，我們必須記得：「一個罪人悔改，在神的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。」（路15:10）

會有歡喜，因為我們與神與人的關係改變了。我們像是從那帶著我們走向毀滅的自動人行道開始走向新的方向。大衛領受這一個信息。施洗約翰傳講這一個信息。耶穌向井旁的婦人和行淫被抓的婦人，活出這一個信息的恩典和愛（約4和8章）。在耶穌被釘十架和復活後，祂的門徒繼續傳講祂悔改和信心的信息。

悔改是你的生命中從死亡轉向生命。你離棄罪惡和死行（徒8:22；來6:1），轉向神和祂的榮耀（徒20:21；啟16:9）、永恆的生命（徒11:18）、真理的知識（提後2:25）。《尼爾遜圖解聖經百科全書》說：「悔改是與禱告（王上8:47）、信仰（可1:15）、受洗（徒2:38）、歸信有關聯（徒3:19），並且帶著謙卑（太11:21）。悔改是神的旨意，是祂所喜悅的（路15:7-10；彼後3:9），同時也是祂的命令（可6:12；徒17:30）。這是祂主權的愛的恩賜（徒5:31；11:18；羅2:4；提後2:25），沒有悔改我們不能得救（路13:3）。

要以喜樂的心進入這些日子，因為你轉離了上一個季節裡任何曾嘗試奪取你豐盛生命的事物。

閱讀／約翰福音4章和8章

彼得在路加福音5章經歷神的良善，請默想他的悔改。

背誦／使徒行傳2:38；3:19；20:21；26:20

 

第28天

有時候罪的概念和思想，我們可能有多敗壞，使我們承擔不起。但感謝神！祂渴望我們在祂裡面得到更新。祂不是要以我們的過錯來監禁我們。祂總是給我們逃生的路。祂一直在問：「你在那裡？我只是想與你相交！我知道仇敵曾跟你說話，要引你離開我的同在。但我要你歸回，我樂意差派我的靈牽引你回轉歸向我。我渴望你在我裡面得以昌盛。我渴望觸摸你手中的工作。」

重組！這是以新方法禱告的時刻！為未來的三年呼求領受啟示。當你的環境開始改變，隨之改變。不要反抗。這會決定你未來的三年。

我一直用詩篇118:25為你們禱告：「求你使我們亨通！」另外一段我最愛的經文之一是箴言3:5-10：「你要全心全意仰賴、信靠、確信耶和華，不可倚靠自己的眼界或聰明。在你一切所行的事上都要知道、認出、承認祂，祂必指引你，使你的道路平坦正直。

不要自以為有智慧；要敬畏耶和華，（完全）遠離惡事。這便使你的神經、肌肉、骨髓健康，滋潤你的百骨。你要以（正當手段而得的）財物和一切初熟的土產尊榮耶和華。這樣，你的倉房必充滿有餘；你的酒醡有新酒盈溢。」 （擴大版聖經直譯）

這段經文承認地土和其上所有出產都是神給以色列的禮物，因感謝祂豐盛的賞賜，將所有初熟的果子獻給祂。每個月的月初，在敬拜中遵守祂的訓誨，把我們最好的獻給祂，我們就會看見、經歷供應和醫治！

舉例來說，帶來給以利沙的初熟獻祭，神蹟地加增到足以供應一百人食用（王下4:42-44）。今年神也會以不尋常的方式與祂的百姓相遇，打破舊的循環。注意那坐在美門的人經歷多年的捆綁得著醫治後的局勢（徒3）。這醫治在神的百姓中產生了偉大的運動。這醫治影響了當時的政府。我們正進到神自初代教會以來在地上最偉大的運行。以下是箴言3:1-14一些可以幫助你們的重點：

• · 除去任何會使你不帶著神的愛、錯誤回應的情緒！當你的神經已經繃緊時，讓神的愛恩典地進來！神會破壞我們的思想程序，把我們逼到極限，因為這是使我們擴張的惟一方法。
• · 打破任何貧窮的靈或自私的想法。當神說給，就給！關閉所有蓄意的表裡不一或說謊，這樣會破除自私。你不願做的，不要期待別人去做。這是虛偽。
• · 尋求在神和世人面前蒙恩。要擴張，我們需要從新的人群中有新的恩寵。我們需要祂的恩寵，好叫人來選中我們。神的同在會使我們在人的面前蒙恩。求主在你的道路上擺放你可以連結，並從而得到恩寵的人。願你廣受歡迎！
• · 信心藉愛運行。愛是惟一能使我們進到信心新層次的方法。若我們沒有進入信心，就無法進入神蹟。我們不可能用求神蹟就進入神蹟。你必須創造比你所在的環境更大的信心氛圍。
• · 為你的身體領受健康，為你的骨頭領受力量。主想要有神經得醫治的見證。主也想要處理骨骼結構。結構是跟擴張有關係的！神必須重整結構，好叫你繼續前進在祂所行的當中。
• · 讓祂重整我們的時間順序。時間是我們最大偶像！
• · 願主的靈今年潔淨你的血液。神的道必須進到你的骨髓裡面。
• · 以你們的財物和一切初熟的土產尊榮主。我們需要明白神初熟之物的原則。這樣會使你的倉房（供應）充滿有餘；你的酒醡有新酒（啟示）盈溢。作特別的奉獻。
• · 今年不要輕看對你的管教。因為祂愛我們，祂正傾倒對我們的管教（或教導）。領受為你未來的教導。
• · 正式宣告你的思想正在轉化。

背誦／希伯來書4:12

閱讀／箴言3:1-14；以西結書37:1-14；詩篇31篇和約珥書2章

默想／羅馬書 12:1-2

 

第29天

所有的恢復過程，是從明白和進入救恩時開始的。當我們明白救恩是什麼，對我們有什麼功效時，恢復就展開了。許多人對救恩有狹窄的看法。他們看救恩為逃離罪致命後果的出路，他們看悔改為力求道德上的純全。因此，他們相信若我們求耶穌救贖我們，而我們相對地活出美好、清潔的生命，我們就會有進入天堂的門票。

這種觀念不但帶來扭曲、略帶律法主義的與神與人的關係，也徹底否決了救恩的大喜樂和真實的益處。救恩一詞來自希臘文的soterion ，意指拯救、解救、帶來安全、解放、釋放、得以保全。這一個字與饒恕、醫治、昌盛、恢復的概念是相關聯的。所有這些益處都在這一個帶給基督徒極大盼望和喜樂的字裡。

沒有救恩，就沒有恢復！無論是群體或是個人，都沒有指望可以回到神從建立大地根基時，就為我們所預備的命定。神對每一個人都有命定。進入這一個命定第一步，就是藉著耶穌基督而來的救恩─不只是作罪人的禱告，以為這樣就夠了，乃是讓饒恕、醫治、昌盛、恢復進入我們生命的每一個部份。

恢復的第二個面向是明白、進入完全。救恩滲透我們的全人─身、心、靈─有能力改變我們構造裡的每一個纖維。當我們降服於救恩、不斷改變生命的能力，我們會開始明白完全。當我們遇見主的時候，無論是什麼年齡，我們每個人的生命都是支離破碎，散落滿地。

為什麼？因為罪的緣故，使我們落在散落的咒詛。每當我們犯罪，神為我們個人所預定的部份就遺落在後。因著我們所犯的罪，我們就將純潔、祝福、健康，以及（或者）神完美計劃的一部份替換掉了。因此，在我們生命的路上，每一次我們選擇罪的所在，都散落著神為我們預備好作完全人的部份。

雖然我們西方社會傾向將我們的生命劃分成身體、心思、屬靈的層面（或作身、心、靈），但事實上合乎聖經的正確世界觀是合一、完整的個人，這些部份不是分離的實體，乃是互相連結的。帖撒羅尼迦前書五章23節說：「願賜平安的神親自使你們全然成聖！又願你們的靈與魂與身子得蒙保守，在我們主耶穌基督降臨的時候，完全無可指摘！」

在此我們看見神想要將人分別為聖，不光是靈的部份，乃是全人都要成聖。整全地處理一個人的概念，不是源出於遠東或新世紀的思潮，這乃源出於神。

事實上，耶穌的信息就是關乎完全。許多時候祂會回應那些祂觸摸的人說：「你的信心已使你完全了。」 為什麼？就像前面所提到的，罪會使我們支離破碎。罪影響到我們每一個部份。罪並非是那看不見的魂界裡的一個黑點；它會影響我們身體、思想、情感或靈的方面。許多人因為他們生命中的罪，今日要面對病痛。為此緣故，我們必須超越我們的西方思想，明白我們需要我們的每一個部份恢復完全。

背誦／歌羅西書1:13-14

默想／帖撒羅尼迦前書5:23

閱讀／路加福音17章和馬可福音8章

 

第30天

我喜愛耶穌擘開小男孩的餅和魚，結果收拾了12籃子零碎回來的故事。祂可以把那破碎的碎片收集起來，結果是，我們有的就比起初的更多了。為完全的緣故必有爭戰。仇敵恨我們得以完全。事實上，為了你們的完全有大爭戰。所有在你們魂裡的支離破碎使你們不得自由，都是來自於進到你們DNA系統裡的爭戰。

撒但「說謊是出於自己」（約8:44）。若牠知道在你裡面還有尚未跟神的想法合一的，牠會試著使這個資產回到牠自己的權下。牠最終的目的是要惹動我們的靈，使神的恩膏不能藉著我們釋放，改變我們週遭的世界。為此緣故，我們必須提防因「心地剛硬」（林後3:14）、「弄瞎了心眼」（林後4:4）、「心地壞了」（提後3:8）、或「邪僻的心」（羅1:28）而來的負面看法。

想想看那些永遠負面的人。他們用負面的眼光看每一件事。本質上，這是指他們血液裡有還未被神的看法活絡過的地方。幸好，聖經證明心思意念是可以更新而變化（羅12:2），誠實（彼後3:1），充滿神的愛（太22:37；可12:30；路10:27），栽植祂的律法，在我們生命中定下界線（參來8:10）。然而，這需要聖靈在我們的心思動工，也就是說我們必須讓祂在我們的血液循環中得勝。

詩篇23篇是這時刻重要的經文。這也是教導你們兒女的經文。「祂使你的靈魂甦醒！」主正在釋放新的號聲來影響我們的生命。這聲音會使你靈裡的信心上升，使你的靈魂甦醒恢復！你的靈魂在過去季節中散落支離破碎的地方，你的靈魂會開始整合，你的靈會開始對神的旨意迴響。若我們仔細聽號聲，就會有整合，而我們靈魂的支離破碎就可以破除。

你小時候所學的現在將要成真了。我們必須跟隨祂進到一些新的地方，來破除撒但過去在我們靈魂製造支離破碎計劃的能力。製造苦毒和引發盟約模式的舊傷現在可以破除了。你將必須去神要你去的地方。你將必須在神要你要在的地方。

魂與心、頭腦、良知有非常的關連。希伯來文的「魂」是nephesh。在新約，「心靈」( psyche )一詞退到身體、血肉、靈的觀念後面，描述人的存在。神想要將我們分別為聖，重整我們的靈魂體，使我們完全。宣告你所有的支離破碎都要被顯明。宣告你的恢復已經展開，並且會完成。

背誦、默想帖撒羅尼迦前書五章23節：「願賜平安的神親自使你們全然成聖（使你從俗的分別出來，使你純全，完全地獻給神）！又願你們的靈與魂與身子得蒙保守，在我們主耶穌基督（彌賽亞）降臨的時候，完全（查明）無可指摘！」（擴大版聖經）

閱讀／詩篇23篇和馬太福音14章

 

第31天

最近，我和一個團隊在堪薩斯州服事。這是主在全地上興起新軍隊的開始。當史達屈服事時，主的同在變得很強。總共有26州參與這一次聚會。約翰‧狄更遜開始打鼓，莉安‧史奎亞開始唱一首最古老、美麗的詩歌，從天上穿透到地上來。這一場聚會叫人驚訝。這是我拜訪的第一個州，宣告得勝後備軍在50州興起。

最近有方言的信息臨到，我聽到主說：

「你的生命像是馬賽克。在我將你拼合的過程中，仇敵曾將軟弱的碎片插進來。牠曾利用你的環境使你的靈魂支離破碎。牠曾試著使你停留在破碎中，好叫你未來的圖畫及異象不能形成。但我是你的阿爸父。我是那從起初就認識你的那一位。我知道怎樣把你拼合起來。我是那知道、並使對你最好的計劃和模式出來的那一位。雖然仇敵曾將其他碎片放在你裡面，我正在動手術除去這些編碼錯誤的碎片。

對你而言，這是一個艱困的時刻，因為這是一個除去和分別的季節。我愛你，我會以我的愛和智慧除去、取代你那支離破碎、飽受戰爭蹂躪的碎片。預備好，因為我那諸般的美善和智慧，現在要以新的方式在你身上被看見。你將向著那曾擄掠你的惡魔國度，展示你豐富多彩的能力。

興起，發光，照耀！我在以我的榮耀來充滿我產業的疆界。你會聽到新的呼召。我正在顯明我產業中沒有充滿榮耀、而咒詛運作的地方。為了擴張你的境界，我必須得著那些地方。拖延，沒有善用我的時間，是我旨意的重大敵手。拖延在與你對抗，攔阻你穿上我給你現在和未來的昌盛。

軟弱正針對我百姓的力量作工。起來，喚醒黎明，抖掉邪惡的工人，在我放在你面前的田地耕耘前進。新的熱心正在你裡面活過來…興起，向著我的熱心和力量甦醒。」

背誦／以弗所書3:10。神諸般的智慧就像穿上了約瑟的彩衣。向著諸天宣告：勝利在你裡面升起！

默想／彼得前書4章

 

第32天

這是我們用聲音喚醒白日的時刻。歡呼王的聲音在你裡面。民數記23:21所提的也可以指王的號角（小號）聲！你們有些人應該在早上六點吹號角，宣告：「王正在喚醒黎明！」

祂的聲音在地上，你腳掌所踏之地，地土會歡欣。若你在神要你站立的地方搖擺不定，求祂使你站穩，不動搖。宣告搖擺不定的靈要離開，所有不穩定出去。正式宣告在你感到不穩定的地方，今天你會找到你的立足的所在。

世界有混亂的靈。牠在政治的舞台，也在神國百姓身上。命令宣告為了神百姓的未來，一個安穩的立足點要臨到神百姓。我們不會混亂地進入下一個七年。宣告我們不會混亂，在神呼召我們行走的地方，我們知道如何行走。

在你需要的時候，祂是你隨時的幫助。我禱告你以新的方式感受到祂的同在和能力。高舉讚美祂！願主今日與你同坐席。願你認清祂在天上為你存留的祝福。命令宣告混亂的權勢，攔阻你進到下一個供應的，要煙消雲散，從你的環境中除去！願你被新油恩膏。願你的恩賜被挑旺。願你信心增長。願清晨滿了你的禱告。

"The Door of Secrets! The Civil Shift! SEE YOUR PROVISION! Days 26-32 of Revamping and Revitalizing!"

Dear Friends:

I have just completed my ministry in Wichita, Kansas for Glory Advance! This is the beginning of rallying the Triumphant Reserve through this entire nation. We must have a new generationally-aligned troop that is filled with fire and willing to align His Glory in the land.

THE FINAL PAYMENT!

I want to thank each of you for taking ownership of this land. The Lord met us powerfully during Corporate Worship and Intercession on Wednesday. During that time, we were able to hold up the final land payment for the 31 acres along Interstate 35! We now must gain momentum into phase 2 called Occupation. Watch for details to be released in days ahead.

The Spirit of the Lord began to stir: "I'm creating a peculiar place so that it will give hope for houses to open up worldwide. For I will need houses, the tents of the people, to display My glory. I will have the tent of meeting and the place that you will gather and come, but I need the houses of My people to be filled with My glory I will be filling your houses!"

THE DOOR OF SECRETS!

Bob Speights shared the following: "I saw a door and it said 'SECRETS' on the door. As the door opened there were all these inventions and creations and formulas that have been held for this time. I believe the Lord was saying, 'For all those that believe Me, I'm going to open the DOOR of SECRETS. Where they have said, "We don't have enough oil and there's not enough energy," I have more energy than you can even imagine. I have ways of producing energy that have never even been conceived of before, and I am going to bring them forth through the hands of My people. No longer will they say there is a lack of energy in our land. I'm going to give you secrets into the legal code. You are going to see things with supernatural wisdom that the enemy cannot use to change times against My people. I'm changing the code structures of many systems that are controlling nations. I will give you the code.'"

A WORD TO MY KINGDOM WARRIORS WHO PRAY FOR THE CIVIL GOVERNMENT:

"I'm changing your prayer life now. You've been praying for political leaders and leaders of businesses and banks and structures in one way. Now I'm changing how you pray. In this year of lifting your hand and extending it to Me, you will pray by lifting the hand of the one that I show you that is in a place of civil rule. You will raise that hand up to Me. If that one will allow Me to grab their hand, I will bring them through into a new land in their heart. If they refuse My hand when I extend help to them, they will be one that withers in their ability to operate and work.

"I will start changing the arm of the flesh today. I will start changing the arm of the flesh and the ability to rule in one way today, and you will begin to see a new type of rule occur in the lands of the earth. It won't be up to them to extend their hand, for you will lift their hand up to Me and say, 'I have brought this one's hand to You.' I will know when your intercession has lifted the hand of one. Your President and your Secretary and others, your mayors, your governors—I say offer Me their hand and get them up into My Heavenly realm. Then when I offer My hand to them and if they refuse the hand of the Lord to rule in days ahead, then their hand will wither before you.

"I will put new judges in place. I will surprise you how I can judge on your behalf locally; know that I can judge upon your behalf. This is a time for righteous intervention, but it is you who must bring the hands of those before Me in a new way. Your prayers of judgment and disgust will not lift the hands of those that are ruling. If you will lift the hands of those that are now ruling, I will then determine whether they resist and reject My hand or grab hold of that which I have to offer them in the future.

"The door that I would leave with you today is the door 'as in the days of Noah.' Many will come in—just as 'unclean' came into the ark in double form, and 'righteous' came into the ark in seven-fold. I will surprise you with the type of doors that I am opening and who I will let through in this next season. But if you will allow My righteous rule to rise within you, you will be seven times stronger than any unclean structure in the earth."

Below are the next seven days of our 40 Days of revamping, receiving a new vitality, and moving forward toward the promises of the next season.

DAY 26

We began this season with the blowing of the Trumpet. Fifty (50) shofars resounded the changing of the season. In midrashic literature and in the New Covenant, the shofar is strongly associated with the coming of Israel's King Messiah. Israel will be advised of the advent of the Messiah with the sound of a shofar! And the Lord God will blow the shofar (Zechariah 9:14). "For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God." (1 Thessalonians 4:16)

I hope many of you were able to join us over the last few days at the Head of the Year Gathering. We began this season of AYIN, 5770, in a tent on the land that the Lord has given all of us as an inheritance. You have a future and hope. In the midst of the mud and the mire of the last season, you have a great hope for the future. Martin and Norma Sarvis were our guests from Israel. She shared that Israel had been in the greatest drought in modern history. After the blowing of the shofars, here is the report from Jerusalem: Rain began to fall! The fall rains are the FORMER rains as you plant. So at the beginning of this season, the rains have begun. Cry out for the LATTER rains which are the spring rains near the maturing time of plants and the grain harvest.

YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. To remind you, the ten days following the blowing of the trumpet are known as "Days of Awe," where we are expected to examine ourselves, seek repentance, and make restitution. This arrival of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords surely moves us to "clean up our act." As Peter says in summing up the end of the age, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the Heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of the Lord." (2 Peter 3:10-12)

Kippur is linked with the word redemption. Kippur means "ransom by means of a substitute." On this day a goat was slain, and another with the sins of the nation confessed over it was taken away into the Judean desert and released. It was considered "damned"—and a common curse word in Israel is the Hebrew for "scapegoat." In modern times, some Jews buy a chicken and confess their sins over it as a sin-bearer before killing it. Many Jews perform "Tashlich"—casting stones symbolizing their sins into the streams as they quote Micah 7:18-20. On the Day of Atonement, all religious Jews and many non-religious spent the day in the Synagogue, confessing their sins and seeking forgiveness and a "Good Signature" in the Book of Life for the coming year.

John the Baptist saw Yeshuah coming to him as he was immersing those who had repented in the Jordan River, and he called, "Hineh! Seh haElohim ha'noseh hatat ha'Olam!"—"Look! The Lamb of God who carries away the sin of the world." There are two main words for "forgiveness" in Hebrew. One of them, soleah (as in Psalm 25:11), has to do with pardoning. But another, noseh (verse 18 of the same chapter), at its root has to do with carrying or "bearing" the sins away. We must be forgiven, and our sins need to be carried away. Verse 22 calls on Elohim to "Redeem Israel from all his troubles." Only He can provide the redemption…and that is in the Blood of His Son.

Success occurs when we are centered in God's redemptive plan for our lives. By praying and seeking the Lord and allowing the Spirit of God to cleanse us, our vision becomes refined. Success occurs when we are centered in God's redemptive plan for our lives. By praying and seeking the Lord and allowing the Spirit of God to cleanse us, our vision becomes refined.

Repentance is not a word we should resist talking about. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, His death and the shedding of His Blood, there is an awe and gratitude which should provoke true repentance. Bow low as you approach the throne of God before the One who gave His unstained life to save you from Hell's plan.

Read Romans 3 and Romans 11.

DAY 27

The Ten Days of Awe at the beginning of each New Year remind us of our opportunity to be clean and free from all of the stains of the past season. With each year, no matter how much the warfare of our circumstances seems to bombard us, there are many blessings for us to receive and embrace. Recently, I came home from the office after a 3-day trip and found Isaac, our 20-year-old, playing the piano. I could hear him singing and was drawn to his room. As I listened carefully, I could hear the words "CLEAN" being sung several times. He had written a song about the Prodigal Son just wanting to come home. In the song is a cry for a return and a cleansing.

Many of us have looked at repentance as a bad word linked with something we have done that is shameful. Repentance is a turning away from sin, disobedience, or rebellion. However, this act does not just include a turning away, but a turning back to God (Matthew 9:13; Luke 5:32). Repentance means a change of mind (Genesis 6:6-7) or a feeling of remorse or regret for past conduct (Matthew 27:3). However, we must remember that, "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10).

There is joy because our relationship to God and others changes. We start moving in a new direction from the path of destruction that seemed to be taking us along like an automated walkway. David received this message. John the Baptist preached this message. Jesus demonstrated the grace and love of this message with the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery (John 4 and John 8). After Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, His disciples continued His message of repentance and faith.

Repentance is a turning in your life from death to life. You leave wickedness and dead works (Acts 8:22; Hebrews 6:1). You move toward God and His glory (Acts 20:21; Revelation 16:9), eternal life (Acts 11:18), and a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 2:25). Nelson's Illustrated Bible says, "Repentance is associated with prayer (1 Kings 8:47), belief (Mark 1:15), baptism (Acts 2:38), and conversion (Acts 3:19) and is accompanied by humility (Matthew 11:21). Repentance is God's will and pleasure (Luke 15:7-10; 2 Peter 3:9), as well as His command (Mark 6:12; Acts 17:30). It is a gift of His sovereign love (Acts 5:31; 11:18; Romans 2:4; 2 Timothy 2:25), without which we cannot be saved (Luke 13:3)."

Enter these days with a joy in your heart associated with turning away from anything in the past season that has attempted to rob you of life in abundance.

Read John 4 and John 8. Meditate on Peter's repentance when he experienced God's goodness in Luke 5. Memorize Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21; 26:20.

DAY 28

Sometimes the concept of sin and how wretched we can really be seems to overwhelm us. But God! He desires that we become new and fresh in Him. He is not holding us captive to our mistakes. He is always giving us a way to escape. He is constantly asking, "Where are you? I just want to commune with you! I know the enemy has spoken to you and led you away from My Presence. But I want you back and I am willing to send My Spirit to draw you back to Me. I long for you to be prosperous in Me. I long to touch the work of your hands."

Regroup! This is a time to pray in a NEW WAY! Ask for and receive revelation for the next three years. When your circumstances begin to change, go with them. Do not rebel. They will set your future for the next three years.

I have been praying Psalm 118:25 for you: "Send Prosperity Now!" Another one of my favorite Scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-10: "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones. Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; so shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine." (AMP)

This Scripture acknowledges the fact that the land and all its products were the gift of Yahweh to Israel, and in thankfulness for His bounty, all the firstfruits were offered to Him. By obeying and bringing our best to Him in worship at the beginning of each month, we will see and experience SUPPLY and HEALING being released!

For instance, an offering of firstfruits, brought to Elisha, was miraculously increased so as to feed one hundred persons (2 Kings 4:42-44). God will also meet His people in unusual ways this year to break old cycles. Notice the situation where the man at the Gate Beautiful was healed after years of bondage (Acts 3). This healing created a great movement in God's people. This healing affected the civil government. We are on the verge of one of the greatest moves of God in the earth since the early church. Here are some key points from Proverbs 3:1-14 that will help you.

• · Remove any wrong emotion that would cause you to respond without the love of God! When your nerve endings are being stretched, let the love of God come in with GRACE! God will be breaking down thought processes and stretching us to the limit, but that is the only way to expand.
• · Break any mindset that agrees with lack or selfishness. When God says give, then give! Shut out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood. This will break selfishness. Do not expect something of someone else that you are not willing to do. That is hypocrisy!
• · Find favor from God and from man. We must have new favor from new people to enlarge. We need favor from Him that will cause men to seek us out. The presence of God will cause men to favor us. Ask the Lord to position people on your path that you can connect with and be favored by. May you be SOUGHT AFTER!
• · Faith works by love. Love is the only way we will come into a new dimension of faith. If we do not break into faith, we will not break into miracles. You won't break into miracles just by asking for them. You must create a faith atmosphere that is greater than the atmosphere you have been in.
• · Receive health to your body and strength to your bones. The Lord wants a testimony about nerves being healed to be released. The Lord also wants to deal with bones and structures. Structure is linked with ENLARGEMENT! God must rearrange the structure so you keep moving in what He is doing.
• · Let Him rearrange our time sequencing. Time is our biggest idol.
• · May the Spirit of the Lord purify your blood this year. The Word has to get into your bone marrow.
• · Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the firstfruits of all your income. We need to understand the firstfruits principle of God. This will cause your storage places (provision) to be filled with plenty and your vats to overflow with new wine (revelation). Give a special offering.
• · Don't despise your discipline this year. Because He loves us, He is pouring out discipline (or teaching). Receive teaching for your future.
• · Decree that your mind is being transformed.

Memorize Hebrews 4:12 and read Proverbs 3:1-14. Read Ezekiel 37:1-14. Read Psalm 31 and Joel 2. Meditate on Romans 12:1-2.

DAY 29

The starting point of all restoration processes is the understanding of and coming into salvation. Restoration begins with knowing what salvation is and what it does for us. Many people have a narrow view of salvation. They see it as a way to escape from the deadly consequences of sin, and they view repentance as a striving toward moral purity. Therefore, they believe that if we ask Jesus to save us and we in turn live good, clean lives, then we have a ticket to Heaven.

This view not only leads to a distorted and somewhat legalistic relationship with God and each other, but it also totally negates the overall joy and true benefits of salvation. Salvation comes from the Greek word soterion, meaning to rescue, deliver, bring to safety, liberate, release or cause preservation. The word is linked to the concepts of forgiveness, healing, prosperity and restoration. All of these benefits are implied within the word that gives Christians their greatest hope and joy.

Without salvation, there is no restoration! There is no hope for getting back on the track God intended for us, both collectively and as individuals, from the foundation of the earth. God has an intended destiny for every human being. The first step to entering into that destiny is salvation through Jesus Christ—not just saying the Sinner's Prayer and letting it go at that, but allowing the forgiveness, healing, prosperity and restoration to penetrate every part of our lives.

The second aspect of restoration is the understanding of and coming into wholeness. Salvation permeates our entire being—body, soul and spirit—with the ability to change every fiber of our makeup. As we yield to the ongoing, life-changing power of salvation, we can begin to understand wholeness. When we came to the Lord, no matter what age we were, each of us was fragmented with pieces of our lives scattered here and there.

Why? Because scattering is a curse that we come under as a result of sin. When we sin, pieces of the person God intends for us to be are left behind. We trade purity, blessing, health, and/or a part of God's perfect plan for a sin we have committed. Therefore, parts of the whole person God intends for us to be lie scattered along the paths of our lives at each point where we have chosen sin.

Although we in the Western world tend to compartmentalize our lives into physical, mental and spiritual dimensions (or body, soul and spirit), the fact is that a proper biblical worldview is one of a unified, whole person in whom these parts are not separate entities, but are interconnected. First Thessalonians 5:23 says, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus."

Here we see that God's interest in sanctifying is not limited to the spiritual being of a person, but the whole person. The concept of dealing with a person holistically did not originate in the Far East or in New Age thinking; it originated with God.

In fact, Jesus' message was one of wholeness. Many times He would respond to those whom He touched by saying, "Your faith has made you whole." Why? As previously mentioned, sin can leave us scattered. Sin affects each part of us. Sin is not just a dark blot on the invisible realm of the soul; it can affect us physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Many people are facing illnesses today because of sin in their lives. For this reason, we must transcend our Western mindset and realize that we need restoration and wholeness brought to every part of our being.

Memorize Colossians 1:13-14. Meditate on Thessalonians 5:23. Read Luke 17 and Mark 8.

DAY 30

I love the story where Jesus breaks the bread and fish of a little boy and then picks up 12 baskets of fragmented leftovers. He can gather the fragments of what has been broken, and in the end, we can have more than in the beginning. There is a war over wholeness. The enemy hates us becoming whole. In fact, there is great warfare over your wholeness. All fragmentation in your soul comes from the war that has entered into your DNA system to keep you from freedom.

Satan "speaks from his own resources" (John 8:44). If he knows there is something in you that has not come into alignment with God's way of thinking, he will attempt to take that resource back under his domination. His ultimate goal is to vex our spirit so God's anointing cannot be released through us and change the world around us. For this reason, we must guard against a negative perspective that is the result of a "hardened" (2 Corinthians 3:14), "blinded" (2 Corinthians 4:4), "corrupt" (2 Timothy 3:8) or "debased" (Romans 1:28) heart or mind. 

Think about perpetually negative people. They see everything from a negative standpoint. Essentially, that means there is something in their blood that has never been energized by God's perspective. Fortunately, Scripture proves that the heart or mind can be renewed (see Romans 12:2), pure (see 2 Peter 3:1), filled with the love of God (see Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27), and implanted with His law, which creates boundaries for our life (see Hebrews 8:10). However, this requires the Holy Spirit acting upon our mind, which means we must allow Him to conquer within our very blood stream.

Psalm 23 is such an important Scripture for this time. This is also a Scripture to teach your children. "He will restore your soul!" The Lord is releasing a new trumpet sound that will affect our lives. This is a sound that will cause faith to arise in your spirit and cause your soul to be restored! Where your soul has been scattered in the past season, your soul will begin to realign and your spirit will begin to resound with God's purpose. If we listen carefully to the trumpet sound, there will be a realignment, and the fragmentation of our soul can be broken.

What you have learned as a child is now going to become real. We will have to follow Him into some new places to break the power of satan's past plan of fragmentation in our soul. Old woundings that created bitterness and caused covenant patterns can now be broken. You are going to have to go where God tells you to go. You are going to have to be where God tells you to be.

The soul is very much linked with the heart, the mind and the conscience. The Hebrew word for soul is nephesh. In the New Testament, the term psyche retreats behind the ideas of body, flesh, spirit to characterize human existence. God wants to sanctify and make us whole by aligning our spirit, soul and body. Declare all of your fragmentations will be exposed. Declare that your restoration has begun and will be complete.

Memorize and Meditate on 1 Thessalonians 5:23: "And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)." (AMP)

Read Psalm 23 and Matthew 14.

Day 31

Recently, I was in Kansas with a team. This is the beginning of the Lord raising up a new troop throughout the earth. When Dutch Sheets was ministering, the Presence of the LORD became so strong. There were 26 states involved in this meeting. John Dickson began to use the Tom-Tom drum and LeAnn Squier began to sing one of the most beautiful, ancient songs that came from Heaven and penetrated the earth. The sessions were amazing. This was the first state that I visited to declare a Triumphant Reserve rising in all 50 states.

Recently a tongues message came forth and I heard the Lord say:

"Your life is like a mosaic. In the midst of Me piecing you together, the enemy has inserted pieces of infirmity. He has used your circumstances to fragment your soul. He has tried to keep the brokenness in you so you cannot form the new picture and vision for your future. But I am your Abba, Father. I am the One who knew you from the beginning. I know how to piece you together. I am the One who knew the plan and the pattern for your best to come forth. Though the enemy has placed other pieces within you, I am doing surgery to remove these miscoded pieces.

"This is a difficult time for you, for it is a season of removal and separation. I love you and will remove and replace the fragmented, war torn pieces with My love and wisdom. Get ready, for My manifold goodness and wisdom will now be seen in you in a new way. You will display your colorful power to the demonic realm that has held you captive.

"Arise, shine and radiate. I am filling the boundaries of My inheritance with glory. You will hear a new call. I am revealing some places where My inheritance is not filled with glory and where curses are in operation. To enlarge your sphere, I will have to overtake those places. Procrastination, not making the most of My time, is a great competitor of My purposes. This is competing with you wearing the prosperity I have for you now and in days ahead.

"Infirmity is working against the strength of My people. Rise up, awaken the dawn, shake out the evil workers, put your hand to the plow and advance in the field that I am setting before you. New passion is coming alive in you…Arise and awaken to My passion and strength."

Read Genesis 37 and Psalm 104. Memorize Ephesians 3:10. The manifold wisdom of God is like wearing Joseph's coat. Declare to the Heavenlies that victory is rising up within you! Meditate on 1 Peter 4.

DAY 32

This is a time that we are awakening the day with sound. The Shout of the King is in you. That reference in Numbers 23:21 can also mean the shofar (trumpet) of the King! Some of you should blow the shofar during the 6am hour and declare that "The King is awakening the Dawn!"

His sound is in the earth and the earth will rejoice wherever your feet step! If you are wavering in the place God is asking you to stand, ask Him to make you steadfast and unmovable. Declare that the wavering spirit will leave and all instability will go. Decree that where you are sensing instability, you will find your footing today.

There is a spirit of confusion in the world. This is in the political arena, and also in God's Kingdom people. Decree that a steadfast footing is coming to God's people for their future. We will not go into the next seven years confused. Declare that we will not be confused over how to walk in the place that God is calling us to walk.

He is a Very Present Help in your time of need. I pray that you sense His presence and power in a new way. Exalt and praise Him! May the Lord be seated with you today. May you recognize the blessings that He has for you in Heavenly places. Decree that the power of confusion working to keep you from breaking forth into your next supply line will dissipate and be removed from your atmosphere. May you be anointed with fresh oil. May your gifts be stirred. May your faith grow. May the womb of the morning be impregnated by your prayers.

Memorize Isaiah 26:1-3. Read Psalm 92 and Psalm 110. Meditate on Isaiah 50:4-5.

Blessings,
