Let us be praying for the city of Calgary, Alberta and the surrounding area. The city is flooded with water and so many have had to evacuate their homes. Lives have been lost and it is a very sad situation. Pray that the Lord touches hearts and lives and that people see the goodness and mercy of the Lord even in this devastating time. Let a harvest of souls come into the Kingdom of God.

Intercessory Alert

A lot of rhetoric is going on as North Korea’s spoiled son now leads the country. Rumors of nukes being fired and the revving up of an old nuclear reactor have much of the world worried. Joel Rosenberg’s book “Dead Heat” may very shortly coming to pass if we do not get this right. The United States can ill afford to read the signals wrong and we need intercessors on the wall on high alert. It is not easy to bend ones knee and seek the face of the Lord but one needs perseverance and a willing heart to watch and seriously pray and intercede. If the church would truly learn to do so it could avert much of what may shortly come to pass. Alas, many are busy about much and not busy about their Fathers business.

The Lord has such love for us and wants to help us to do His will in the earth as it is in heaven. We cannot walk out our salvation alone but need Him each moment of every day to lead, guide and direct our lives. Jesus is the answer! The only answer to mans dilemma. Sin is rampant and Jesus is the only one that can eradicate sin. He is the only one that can truly change human nature and bring to death that old man. Ceasing to sin is not possible in ourselves but when Christ truly lives in a man or woman and they allow Him to be Lord it brings forth lasting change.

Let us as the church cry out to the Lord. Let us take time in the secret place to hear His voice. Let us walk with our Father and not stop crying out day and night till we see change. The Lord puts in leaders and scripture says He removes them too. This is definitely being allowed by the Lord but how America and the world handle it is going to determine the outcome.

How we as the church take our position in the body as intercessors and pray through will determine our future. Let us life up our voices and cry out to the Lord and repent of our sin and then we will hear from heaven and He will heal our land. A spirit of repentance needs to fall on each one from the least to the greatest and the church needs to walk as it did in the beginning. We need pure hearts to truly intercede and bring forth change. Today we are being challenged to come up higher and allow Father God to do a lasting work in our lives. None of this worldly stuff matters at all and for myself in fifty years none of this will be remembered.

What will count is what one does with the prayer needs that cross our path. Will we say, another will pray or will we take up our cross, deny ourselves and come to the place of being the intercessors the Lord wants us to be. The choice is ours. Will we stand as the body of Christ together and be light in this ever darkening world. Will we let our light shine before men and glorify our Father in Heaven. Let us change history by how we respond to the call of the Lord to watch and pray. Pray for our Nations leaders that they come to know the Lord and bend their knee before Almighty God. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much and much can be delayed, lives spared and demonic acts averted by our intercession. The gates of hell will not prevail against us.

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

CANADIAN PROPHETIC VOICE

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

WEEPING ENDURES FOR A NIGHT

It is important that we are not distracted from that which Father has called us to do. When He has called you to pray and intercede it is important that you continue to do so. The battle is on and the enemy is trying to distract God’s people with much havoc in everyday life. Many are going through large battles at this present time. It seems that there is extreme pressure being brought to bear upon many who belong to the Lord and it is time that we come to terms with the truth that grace is only given as each new day arrives. We are told not to think of tomorrow because today has sufficient evil.

We see this is so true as this past week’s events have unfolded in the terrible massacre of innocent little children as well as adults in the quiet town of Newtown, Connecticut. One cannot wrap their mind around the evil that has occurred and we truly need to hold on to Jesus and reach out to others. We need to be a comfort in this time of deep wounding that has struck into the heart of the nation. Not only America has been touched by this senseless act but we across the border in Canada have wept tears of sorrow with you and are praying.

It is time for us to come together as one body and lift our voices heavenward to the Lord who is the God of all comfort. Truly there is no other place to turn to at a time like this. We have to move forward and at the same time grieve the loss of precious lives.

What is our part in protecting our respective nations. We are told to watch and pray and so we must continue to do so. Also to walk in love toward those that are outside and redeem the time because the days are evil. I am weeping in writing this for truly any innocence left in the nation is gone. Yet, we as precious believers must lead as light and truth and let our light shine in the darkness of this world. Jesus said, 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matt. 5:14 (NKJV)

This morning I was reminded that we must live one day at a time and that grace is there for this day alone. Manna in the wilderness was provided one day at a time and we to must daily feed on the Word of God for help and strength in this time of trouble. Let us love one another with a pure heart and be willing to reach out to others during this difficult season that has affected so many lives. Weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning. Let us pray that through these circumstances those that do not know Jesus come to know Him as their Saviour and Lord. Indeed He is their help in this time of trouble.

Let us continue to be on guard, watch and pray for that which the Lord lays on our heart and take time to hear His still small voice asking Father God to order our steps for each new day.

Let us pray Psalm 91 over our homes, families and nations and continue without doubt to TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

 Victory is Assured

Many in the body of Christ are walking in discouragement this morning because of hard times.  You have not yet seen the answers to many of the prayers you have prayed and the enemy has tried to come in like a flood with his lies.  Now is the time, this very moment to decide that you will walk in victory.  You are not defeated!  You are a people of God that are called by His name, for His purposes and for this time.  Much is yet to be done to see the Kingdom of God come forth and fully manifest in the earth. 

Many are suffering and you will be used to alleviate much of that suffering with that which I have put in your hands. You have been given much and have the ability to help in the little things of daily life that make a big difference.  Perhaps it is a word in season to someone that lifts their spirit.  Perhaps it is just being a good listener.  Ask Me how I can use you!  You will see open doors and in ministering to others you will not be thinking of your own needs.

I will supply as you praise My holy name and reach out to others.  I am Lord of All and have all things in My hands.  I know what is going on in this world and you are not to fear but walk in faith and wait on Me.  Yes, My Beloveds take time to wait on Me.  Many of you are finding it hard to be still.  Many of you are fearing the future but I say to you I am your future and hope.  Do not be discouraged but take hold of My Word and dig into it without laziness and you will find your answers.  Submit to one another in the fear of God and do not let go.  Esteem your brothers and sisters highly in the Lord and see their heart.  Break bread together and remember the price I paid on the cross till I come.  The Day of the Lord is at hand.  Serve Me diligently and you will see me move.

⁴ because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our trust.(CJB)

HERE’S YOUR PEN!
by Joni Ames

 
Dear Friends,

I just awoke from a most amazing dream and ensuing conversation with the Lord which I pray inspires and catapults His creativity within each of you!
 
I saw a huge desk in an office in heaven where boxes of thousands upon thousands of pens were open and being released and sent out to many. They were pens of many colors, and each color represented the emotion or purpose of that pen. I’m talking about the trunk or casing of the pen, not the color of the ink. So don’t get stuck on that. Perhaps the ink was the same color. I do not know. Anyhow….
 
The red pen meant that what was to be written with it was of utmost importance in timing and content. Even that color had a variety of meanings as well. Some were red for redemption, like the blood of Jesus, for they would be used to set someone free. Some were red because of the important nature of it’s use. Some were red because God was angry and would use it to pour forth His Godly Fury about a situation.
 
Some pens were blue because a person was sad, and it would bring comfort. Others were blue because it would bring forth revelation. Others were blue because it would announce that a storm was over, and a clear blue sky was ahead.
 
Some pens were green because they would pour forth teaching, knowledge, and growth. Some were green because God was giving a “Green light; Go!” word to someone.
 
Some pens were gold, for they would pour forth words of wisdom.
 
Some pens were silver, because someone had been tried like silver, and redemption was given.
 
Some pens were purple, for they would bring forth royal decrees.
 
Some pens were black, for what was written would bring forth something clear, plain and simple, yet needed.
 
I continued to walk around the room and look into all of the boxes of pens – there were so many! And every pen and each color had meaning.
 
Please note: Don’t get overly “stuck” on the color. It’s only symbolic. I believe He gives us what we need, when we need it, per the occasion He calls us to write about.
 
First of all, let me say that there are writers of all kinds who God inspires. There are writers of books and writers of songs. There are writers who draft constitutions for nations – like ours! There are writers who write columns in newspapers, or a writer that sends one simple “Letter to the Editor” that will bring a thing to the attention of a city and change it’s way of thinking or it’s destiny. There are writers who simply pick up a pen and send an occasional note to a friend that arrives “at the right time” to bring hope and encouragement in letting someone know they are loved and thought about.
 
This word is for writers of all kinds, in every nation, to let you know that the drought is over, and the pens of the ready writer are being released to each who ask for it! We each need to be diligent and obedient with ours!
 
“Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.” (Jer. 33:3)
 
Let me also say that this is not about some “magic” thing of divination, like demonic “automatic writing.” The enemy has a counterfeit for all the Lord has. Let’s not go there.
 
The idea of pens is symbolic, to represent the leading and inspiration in the anointing of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the task Father God wants to release in and through us via writing. So, lets not get “stuck” on the use of the word “pens.” He clearly showed me that it was okay to use our computer keyboard!
 
Don’t get trapped in the “paralysis of analysis” by any of this. That would stifle the Holy Spirit’s creativity. Instead, allow Him to speak to your heart, and give to you the understanding through His Word via the scriptures as well.
 
Before I go any further, it is important to say here that God is perfect, but we are not. Even when writing under the unction, we are still human and make mistakes in grammar or spelling. Therefore we still need to proofread and edit things, for the purpose of clarity and function.
 
Anyhow – I wish you could feel what I feel in my heart and spirit about this! A myriad of emotions and tears came forth as a result of my experience. For it was very clear in this experience that, through our obedience, He can and will change the lives and destinies of many!
 
How This Came About…
 
As I was praying about the current events in the news, I asked the Lord what I should say to bring peace and comfort and hope to people. In my heart, I “put myself down,” and said, “Lord, I don’t know what to say in order to do that! Please help me!”
 
The Lord made it clear that it wasn’t just me that He wanted to use, but many. Including those that He would have me send this to.
 
Anyhow, He responded in the following way….
 
================
THE EXPERIENCE
================
 
Overnight, the Lord met with me in a dream, and began to show me that there are many that He has called in this time to speak forth His Heart. But we must trust in Him, not ourselves, to do that. And it is important to not ignore the “urge” to write out what He speaks to us when He begins to release the anointing to do so. Also to be rid of all other distractions as that happens. He gave me this scripture:
 
“My heart is indicting a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” (Psalm 45:1 KJV)
 
He then said this to me….
 
“You need to pay attention to the voice that speaks as the words wrap around the corner at the end of each sentence. Always be ready to explore the adventure, as if you were climbing upon a beautiful rainbow!”
 
“My words have life and meaning, and through them, I will paint pictures of hope and destiny that will be more powerful than any situation, and outlast many generations.”
 
“Release them (My Words) from the captivity you’ve placed them in, and you will see the captives set free, and the promises of a lifetime unfold before your very eyes – for yourself AND for others! “
 
“I have kind words to speak to those who need them, and harsh words to say to those deserving of such. Be ready and listen for both, for each will accomplish my intended purpose to rescue, heal, and set that particular one free.”
 
“Even in this time, I shall give words to heal a nation and cause them to come to Me.”
 
“So hold fast. Hold tightly to My Hand. Don’t ignore the small still voice I send to you when the oceans of anointing are stirred and ready to roar and be released. For pictures will be painted through the words I give to you that will remind my beloved ones to hold on, remain strong, and survive and thrive in the days ahead.”
 
“Be ready, for the season of drought is now done, and my steady, constant rains shall refresh many through the written word – through you.”
 
As He said this, I saw beautiful paintings of futures of people and lands  birthed simultaneously as words proceeded from His mouth, to and through typing hands, and onto each page.
 
==========
HEADS UP!
==========
 
The Lord wants to use you to speak to others. He does that, you know. Words are important. He used Words to form the whole earth and all of creation!
 
He has released the armies of pens to the “ready” writers. “Ready” means, “Immediately available,” “Willingly disposed,” “Likely to do something indicated,” “Spontaneous,” “Prepared for immediate use.”
 
These “Ready Writers” shall spark nations to change and come to their knees before Him. Do not hold back nor ignore using your “pen” when it begins to tap and to dance in your heart, by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
 
It’s time! Go forth! And win many battles!
 
Constitutions will be written, new nations spring forth, and new histories released at the stroke of these pens.
 
Grab one, as if a sword or a rifle, and use it with all your might! For the pen truly is mightier than the sword, and the results are full of hope and life!
 
He wants to use His Creativity to touch and breathe on your sanctified imagination. Don’t let the enemy speak condemnation to you about it. Remember, His Word says,
 
“Casting down imaginations [reasonings], and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Cor. 10:5)
 
==================
ATTENTION WOMEN
==================
He also reminded me of Psalm 68:11, which speaks directly to women. I’m going to give you several versions, for it enhances the meaning. It says:
 
King James version:
“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.”
 
Through this, I believe He showed me that He will literally use His anointed women to literally publish what He releases to them.
 
NIV Version:
The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng (army).
 
NASB – New American Standard Bible
 
(11) The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host (army):
 
And let‘s not forget verse 12:
 
“Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”
 
I added that last part because I want to make it clear that there are those of you women out there that are AT HOME that He will use as well. In your “quiet” time, however short or long, as you place your hands on the keyboard or pen, He will speak words through you that will go forth and be like the rudder of a ship, and change the course of history in the lives – and even nations – of many. – Even via a free blog on the Internet that will reach into many nations. Let God be your publisher! Instantly! As soon as He gives you a new word!
 
===========
IN CLOSING
===========
 
So grab your “pen,” whether a literal pen or computer keyboard, and your “ready” self, and Go forth!
 
Writers of songs, God will give you prophetic songs of the Lord that will melt the hearts of un-believers and bring deliverance and hope – even to nations!
 
Writers of notes and letters: God will speak to your heart about someone who needs a word of encouragement, and your email or note in the mail will arrive at just the right moment, and bring great peace and joy to the heart that needs it!
 
Writers of scholastic materials: God will give to you the ability to impart amazing knowledge and wisdom to His children!
 
Writers of business plans and contracts: The Lord shall give you the exact wording to avert danger and bring forth clarity of purpose and destiny.
 
Writers of political speeches and documents: God will enhance your ability and anointing to convey His Heart and meaning and release and set your nation free!
 
Writers of blogs, books, and articles: The dam of dryness has been broken! Write books that will mark the times and change lives!
 
Writers of all kinds – arise and speak life and hope and healing to people and nations and generations that need your obedience! It’s time!!!!
 
========
PRAYER
========
Father, by the power and authority of the name and blood of Jesus, please release to all who read this your heart and hope and anointing, and give to them their “pen of the ready writer.” We thank You and, in advance, give to You all the glory and honor due to You for any good that is accomplished! Amen.
 
– Joni Ames

The day will come when you will find yourself in the pathway of one with the spirit of jezebel. Sometimes it is in a man but most often you will find this spirit working through a woman. It is a seducing spirit and one of control. This spirit when it discovers who you are in Christ becomes very underhanded attempting to tear down your work in the Lord. It tries to make you doubt who you are in Christ and is the accuser of the brethren.  You can never please the jezebel spirit or any evil spirit and you need to stand against it  and its arsenal of witchcraft.

Little innuendos that always puff themselves up, put you down by criticism and sow doubt spew out of their mouth toward you. They always have a better way of doing things. Out of the mouth of the unsaved it will say the word of God is past. No it is light and life and more up to date than today’s newspaper. It will accuse what you are doing in Christ and even send another to spy you out when they are not capable of doing so themselves. Basically they despise the true things of God and when they find out you are a prophet or prophetess of the Lord all hell breaks loose. Up till that time they are controlling but then all the guns come out against you as its religious spirit attacks.

Beloved stand guard and be warned that as you come against this spirit you need to stand strong and do not back down.  Remember Elisha’s victory as jezebel came tumbling down.  This is what  need to happen in the spirit realm.  That demon spirit can be torn down from the heavenlies being broken of regions as well as people as His church corporately intercedes for wisdom to deal with this spirit.  In the multitude of counselors there is safety and also wisdom.

Those that need delivered from this spirit will not be delivered unless they are willing to submit to those in authority over them, repent of their sin and walk in humility before God and man.  Only then can this spirit be cast out of them.  In some cases they first need to be born again by the Spirit of God.

This spirit will peck at you and put you down continually as it puffs the one with it up.  If you have an area of your life where you have difficulty or not done according to their perfectionist spirit they will peck at you as a woman who pecks at her husband constantly.  It looks for any area of weakness in your life.  It attacks the true prophet of God and we need to be warned again against it.

It can flatter to dig its talons into you and you need to be filled with the Spirit to fight this battle. Condemnation is one of its weapons and you need to refuse condemnation and thwart it in the name of Jesus.  Remember that there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (Romans 8:1)

Through the discerning of spirits God is revealing this spirit to His body and there are those that are discerning when it is in their midst. This spirit hated Elijah and did not like the all out assault he waged and won against the prophets of Baal and it does not like you.  Keep up your guard and ask Father God to send others your way also to help battle against this spirit.  It will often say, you do not have to be answerable to any man and no man is going to tell me what to do. It is in rebellion against all true authority set in the Word of God. The Spirit of God says the opposite, submit to those that are in authority over you, walk in humility and submit to one another in the fear of God, esteeming others better than themselves.

We are to walk in an opposite spirit in fear and submission to the Lord.  Praying without ceasing, in the spirit that we will know how to answer every man.  Jezebels Kingdom is coming down.  Arise and fight the battle being wise as serpents and harmless as doves.  The Lord is faithful and will help you to wage this war wisely and win. Christ will be exalted and the devils kingdoms are coming down.  We serve a God who is all powerful who has given us weapons of warfare to fight the battle and win.  We are over comers who walk covered by the blood of the Lamb and love not our lives to the death.  Stand in the power of the Lord your God, resist the devil and He will flee from you.  Victory is assured in Christ alone and by the blood of Jesus we overcome.  Overcome Beloved by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony.
