THE ARK OF HIS GLORY AND THE BOWLS OF PRAYER

The Ark Of His Glory and the Bowls of Prayer
by Susan Cummings

Corporate Vision seen by several of us:
Susan:
We are all walking around the room praying in a circular fashion. The
Glory of the Lord radiates in the midst of us all. The Glory Cloud comes
into the room. The Ark is being seen within the cloud. The Lord is
revealing Himself as the Ark to us all. The Glory Cloud descends on the
Ark. Seven angels come into the room and they have seven bowls. They are
pouring their bowls out, each angel, one at a time. When they do this,
it is like, it is when they hit the fiery coals, it comes up as steam or
like the wafting upwards of the incense. Prayers are now being released
by the angels pouring their bowls and they are now rising up before the
Throne. It is the prayers of the saints. It gets stronger, as each angel
does it, releases his bowl of prayers. The Cloud gets thicker and
thicker, and heavier, and heavier as the smell of the aroma of the
fragrance of the oil and the prayer offerings comes up before the Lord.
The Lord says, "They are Wave Offerings."
Susan then says, but not like typical wave offerings, not like us waving
palm branches unto the Lord, but it is as they are being poured out,
they produce waves in the Spirit. Waves that empower the prayers to go
forth more, the increase of the answering of the prayers, it brings the
demonstration of the answers. It releases waves of His Glory in answer
to the prayers that are arising up before Him.
Prophetic Word:
The Lord then says:
"Bowl after bowl and wave after wave, will I come to deliver, and heal,
and save. Because I have heard the cries of the bond slave. And of those
that are in tears. But I say, even as I have heard, and seen, I am
releasing the prayers and the incense, and the intercession that you
have lifted unto Me. And I am taking those bowls and am releasing them
into My Glory. And as I release them into My Glory, then My Waves go
forth, in answer, and in release."
"Even from this place, that I have kept hidden by My Grace, will My
Waves go out to Regions even beyond unto nations. For you have been held
in reserve for this season and hour. But know that it is the beginning
of My Demonstration and Power. Do not think that what has been kept in
the closet, and what has been kept in reserve, and what has been kept
hidden, is not without it's place. I say, you have been abiding in My
Secret Place . You have been walking with Me in intimacy in My Garden of
Delight . And you have been fighting the fight. And I say, look up,
because yes, it is night, but Oh, look through My Sight, and see. For I
am bringing you out of obscurity. And you are not going to be hidden,
and you are not going to be held in reserve, as I have told you before.
I have lifted you to the heavenly floor."
"And you are going to move as My angels move. For they ascend and
descend upon My Son in this place. They ascend and descend in answer to
the cries of the human race. For as those cries come up to Me, I lift
up, and move by My Hand in answer. And yes, you will see. Because you
are coming out of obscurity. For this is the Hour when I am bringing you
forth. And you will stand in your place, as I have told you. I have set
this place in it's place. And you will not be moved. And you will not be
shaken. And you will not be left desolate and forsaken. But I say, for
the sake of My Word, I have accomplished this, for My Covenant with you
shall be, that you abide in My Glory, and that you open the eyes to
see."
"For it is time for My Glory to go to the nations. It is time for My
Glory to go the Cities. It is time for My Glory to go to the hospitals.
It is time for My Glory to go to the uttermost parts. Do not think that
you are small in My eyes. But you are seed for the nations. And I am
casting you out of that hidden place. I am thrusting you forth into the
masses of the human race. For you are seed of My seed. You are seed of
My seed. And I am going to use you to fill the need. It is time, My
Children, you are answers to prayer. And My people have been crying out
to Me. And I have seen and heard their cries, and they have risen before
Me. And I will send you, as an answer to them. I will send you into
situations and into places. And in measures, and in degrees, you will
release My Keys."
"Oh, My Children, look and see, all the horses that are in this city.
Look and see, for I gave you natural horses as a sign of the day that
would come when My spiritual horses would run. Do not discount the
former foundations and the former prayers that have been prophesied in
this place. I say, I am moving. And I will reveal My Face. And you will
see My horses all over this city. You have seen them over the city, in
the sky. You have yet to see all the array of My angels that are around
you. For it is My Word that I am fulfilling. And, It is My Word that I
will do. For My angels have moved, at My command. And everywhere you
turn, and everywhere you look, you will see My Hand. You will see the
work of My Hand. Because the bowls of intercession are pouring out unto
Me. And I am releasing measures and degrees of My Glory. Measures and
degrees are wafting up before Me. And measures and degrees are now being
released. Even through thee, so release the measure. Release the
degrees. Release Me, and believe, and see. Because I move, now you
move."
"It pleases you, and it pleases Me, when you take time to be with Me.
For I am pleased, even in your pleasure. Because I also partake of, what
you partake of, because we have become one. But know that I love it,
when you spend more time with Me. When you desire to come, and to be
shut away with Me. But Children, you carry this with you, wherever you
go. You have the Secret Place abiding within you as well. It's time to
go, and show. It is time to bring the Secret Place to My People, so they
can enter in. It's time for you to revel My faces, to all men. For they
must know Me, and they must see Me, and you must call them in. For it is
you, My Children. You carry My Glory and My Ark , within. And it's you,
that I will send. The ascending and the descending will only continue
and grow. Because My Glory and My Power will continue to flow. But
know, that as you walk in these Watches with me, you walk in My Glory,
you walk in Me."
"Waves upon waves of My Glory do descend. Crashing upon the heads of
resistant men. For I will break every resistance, every opposition, and
every embattlement that is erected over My People. I will break every
shackle, every chain, and every weight, even in your gates. For My Glory
has begun to move across this land. And you will see the chains breaking
on your left hand, and on your right hand. Because My Shaking and My
Breaking has begun in earnest, as My Glory contends."
"Oh, the bowls pour out before Me, Oh, the prayers ascend. They rise
ever before Me, but children know, that the reign of darkness has an
end. Because I am coming, and moving. And I am bringing forth My Truth
and Life. For I am answering all the prayers, and all the worship that
has ascended before Me. Look and see, what is to be, and know that I
have set the path before thee. Walk in Me. Walk in Me. Walk in this
place of separation unto Me. Walk in this place of intimacy with Me.
Walk in My Glory, and you will carry Me to all men. For it is time for
men to enter in. For it is time, because the bowls have been poured out,
and now they ascend."

2 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / DECEIT IS BEING RELEASED IN CALIFORNIA - CHURCH ARISE by Lana Vawser 10/24 on: Today at 05:03:00am
Deceit Is Being Released In California - Church Arise
24th October, 2007
Lana Vawser (Perry)
sparkalina@gmail.com
A few days ago I saw a vision of the Sacramento State Captial Building and felt a strong sense from God that "deceit is pouring from within California and from this place a releasing of assurances of protection of protection of all is being sent forward but this indeed is leading them away from Me. Church beware of this place".
So forth, I sensed this word:
California has become a place of tremendous pollution, many are turning away from Me and are following wisdom that they believe they are hearing from many sources. California is becoming a place that is revelling in all that the enemy is offering them, and people are allowing their hearts to be turned against Me, hearts are becoming hard.
Church, now is the time to be aware of this place and aware of all that the enemy is doing. All that the enemy is feeding many within this area, to keep this area from stepping forth into its inheritance, doing all to prevent this area from coming closer to Me and repenting so that I may heal this land and bring forth a move of My Spirit that they have never seen.
<> Governmental authorities are leading people astray and are promising a protection, a protection that includes "all" and "all ways of life" into this area, which is indeed seperating this area and seperating many from Me. For I look upon this area and I am greatly grieved by the actions of those who are in positions of influence. I am greatly grieved and I will not stand for such debauchery and sin within this place.
This is your time Church whether you are in this place or not to rise up in your intercession, rise up and declare in the spirit, declare to the enemy and to all the governmental leaders and those living in the ways of the world, declare "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".
It is time for you Church to take your stand in the natural and in the Spirit and declare MY holiness, declare MY decree, for the enemy is doing all He can to remove My laws from this land and remove My name from within many places and hearts and to fester a filth and evil that will bring about a severe cleansing from My hand.
I am releasing My Spirit upon this land, as My people pray to CLEANSE and PURIFY.
My heart for California My Church is that it would be a place of great influence, a place where many leaders will flow from within their midst, a place where the miraculous may occur in greater ways than has ever been seen, My heart is that this area be cleansed and purified, that it not be a modern day Sodom and Gomorah but that it may be an area of example, a area where great leaders will be released from here, and sent forth into the world.
California I speak to you that you are called to be a place of GUIDANCE. You are to be a place of great EXAMPLE, California you are called to be 'seen' by all as a place that seeks My heart, that seeks MY face, that equips and sends forth many with the FIRE of My Spirit. <>
California your destiny is to be one that equips many to take forth an anointing of miracles, an anointing of signs and wonders, and an anointing of healing......but California you are NOT walking in your destiny. You are walking in the ways of the world.
My Church, I speak to this area, to prophetically declare My heart for this area, I have declared it in the Spirit, but the way it will come to pass, and much will be changed in this area is by My people rising up and praying. My people rising up and standing in the gap, calling forth repentance for this area.
For if My Church do not rise up and pray, the enemy will continue to gain greater victories in this place and this is NOT My will.
Through the prayers of the saints, I will bring the filth and destruction being heaped upon My work in this place, the blatant acts to remove My name from this land and to walk in ways NOT of Me, I will bring this area to its knees.
A great crumbling of this area WILL occur and it will bring MANY to their knees to see the Glory that I am. To see My Glory. To see My heart for them is one of love and one of grace, and I have showered much grace upon this land, and I continue to call forth the repentance upon this place, but out of My great love for this place, I will bring it to it's knees so the purification may occur and the eyes of all the blind may be opened.
Severe humbling will come to goverment leaders as they continue in their wicked ways. Now is the time Church, now is the time to arise in your intercession, for the battles wages, and I have ALREADY won, and as you pray this victory shall pour forth into the natural, and even though many may see that My hand of reprimand is hard, My hand reprimands out of love for what I have created. <>
I will open the eyes of the blind, the humbling and crumbling is coming, be ready My Church, be aware of the gates of this city, and never weary in your intercession.
ARISE Church, take a stand. Enough is ENOUGH! Declare prophetically My heart to this area, declare MY truths in this place and declare My victory which has ALREADY been won.
The trumpet is SOUNDING!
3 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / A VERY SUBTLE ENEMY 10/24 on: Today at 04:58:36am
A VERY SUBTLE ENEMY
A GOSPEL PREACHA
Oct 24 2007 12:11AM
THIS IS A POWERFUL WORD I RECEIVED THE OTHER DAY.
PLEASE ENJOY!
"There remains therefore a rest for the people of God." - Hebrews 4:9
If you're serious about pursuing a deeper relationship with God,
you'll constantly do battle with a very subtle enemy called hurry.
The great danger is not that we'll renounce our faith, but that
we'll become so distracted by lesser things that we'll settle for
a mediocre version of it.
Nobody was more in demand than Jesus, yet He regularly withdrew from
activity for the sake of solitude and prayer. He was busy, but never
stressed out. And He taught His disciples that too. "Then the
apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had
done and what they had taught. And He said to them, 'Come aside by
yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.' For there were many
coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat." (Mark
6:30-31 NKJV). Sound familiar? It is because hurry kills love that
it is the great enemy of your soul. Hurry lies behind much of our
anger. It prevents us from receiving love from the Father and giving
it to those who need it. That's why Jesus never hurried.
The truth is, as much as we complain about it, we are drawn to hurry.
It makes us feel important. It keeps the adrenaline pumping. It
means we don't have to look too closely at our hearts. It keeps us
from feeling our loneliness. So what's the cure? Solitude! The word
"rest" in this particular passage of scripture is the only time in the
New Testament in which the original Greek wording means "Sabbath rest".
After spending 40 days alone on a mountain with God, Moses returned to
the people with (a) clear direction; (
new strength; © the assurance that God was with him. Are you feeling drained? If so,
there remains therefore a rest for the people of God.

6 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / TRUEST KIND OF WORSHIP by Yolanda Ballard 10/24 on: Today at 04:51:55am
Truest Kind Of Worship
by Yolanda Ballard
roarnworship@cfl.rr.com
Oct 23, 2007
Deep within the heart of man is a calling to worship God with all of the heart, mind and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself, but if one is not raised with the nurture and admonition of the Lord, this call gets distorted, and the flesh takes over. This is not normal for one to live their life outside of their calling from the Lord. Yes, it is not normal to live your life not worshiping God who is the Creator of all things.
The truest form of worship comes when one is a small child innocent at birth not knowing the difference between good and evil. The same was as when Adam walked with God in the cool of the day innocent from not having the knowledge of good and evil, and then sin set in when he gave into the temptation to partake from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
The truest kind of worship comes when we are born again and no longer under the curse. Then we are able to return to the innocence of not knowing good and evil, but knowing God and His will alone by having a one-on-one relationship where you walk in the cool of the day with your Maker, your God, the One who gave His life that you would become free to worship Him with all your heart, mind and soul, and to truly love your neighbor as yourself.
Let us return to our true calling in worship, and cast down all forms of pretense and hypocrisy. This is the time and the hour to be real, to be the people God called us to be. No more are we to serve the enemy by giving into control and manipulation to build up a name and a kingdom for self and to even get rich off of the Gospel and power of God.
For truly great wrath will fall on the impostors, those who say they are shepherds of God. For once they take the place of an impostor, not only does God have their number, but also does the enemy. For truly you are serving the kingdom of darkness to build it up and to strengthen the hand of the evil one when you take the place of one who uses God's people for selfish gain.
For this is the day that God is separating His true people from those who are a counterfeit. He will raise up those who were cast aside as useless, because they didn't have a known name. For they were once a nameless and faceless generation, but they were known by God as "the Faithful ones", and God will honor their faithfulness by raising them up as a mighty army of worshipers. And He will pour out His power through them to cast down the false kingdom of religion and build up the kingdom of Truth and Light. And they will draw in the Harvest by the mighty flow of Love coming through them.
Yes, let us return to the truest form of worship, to the place of innocence as a small child, for if we don't take on the form of the pure heart of a child, we will not see the Kingdom, nor will we see God! Let us return to having a heart of worship and of Love and Truth at its highest form. Let us return to God.
For if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chron 7:14)
Return unto Me. Be the people I called you to be. Come out from the unclean one of control and manipulation. Cast down the tools of the evil one, and be clean. I will give you your heart's desire to be real, to worship Me, and to love in its purest form. Do not believe the lies of the evil one to give you fame and fortune by using My kingdom. Cast down the false kingdom and build up the True and love Me, My people.
Come out from the unclean thing. Set yourself free for this is the day and the hour of deliverance. I am calling you to My side. Come forth, My faithful ones, and lead forth those struggling to be real. Lead them out to the Light and Truth for this is the day of separation. This is the day of humbling, to change ranks, for I will raise up the meek and lower the proud. For I will say if this doesn't happen many will lose their salvation!
I said the elect would not be deceived, but stricter measures are needed to restore. So trust Me during this work, through this time of shaking. For all, a time of discerning the true from the false is at hand. For a pure heart is needed in the end time work. Be ready for I AM coming soon, My children. Be ready, for truly this is a strong word of exhortation, says the Lord.
Message from Yolanda: I believe if we truly believe this word of prophesy and come into agreement, we can release the Power needed to wake those out of darkness, those who are truly of God who have been swept away to destruction by the evil one. This is the time to truly believe for our brothers and sisters, as well as the lost, for truly if these do not wake up to the Truth, they will be lost.
Let us stand in the gap for those struggling for at present they do not know their state. And great mourning will come at first when they start to see the truth, but great rejoicing will come as they are set free! Hold fast for the best is at hand for the enemy is a liar, and he has lost the fight! Be strong!

Vision: Love Covers, Love Heals
by Sandy Warner
www.thequickenedword.com
LOVE COVERS, LOVE HEALS
VISION: I saw that someone was inspecting some clothes. The shirt on top was turquoise and all of the brown had been washed out of it. The brown was not dirt but an actual color in the fabric. I was amazed that the top had lasted so long, since it had been washed so many times.
HEARD: Can you hear Me? It is well with your soul. I made you whole. Purified. Lessons in love.
PIX: I saw a doctor's coat and stethoscope.
INTERP: The color brown is the color of servanthood, humility, gifts of helps, gifts of service. The brown in this shirt had been washed so many times, that it was gone. I believe this represents the person who has suffered burn out and simply doesnt have the capacity to stay in that particular place to serve any more. The gift of grace was lifted in wearing that particular mantle to serve in that particular capacity.
1 Peter 4:8-11 NKJV
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins ." 9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Prov 17:9 NKJV
He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends.
Prov 10:12 NKJV
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

How many of us have said that? Many of you have struggled physically and financially for years. Even though you were saved and have for the most part become tithe payers, you have struggled. The Lord is opening up to you the truth of His Word regarding His finances and His healing. It is promised to you. It is time to receive it. Lack and sickness have held you back. No more… Says the Lord… Come aside with me and let me carry you into my Word… Once you receive it, you will receive it and it will always be yours.
(Deuteronomy 29:29) The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
The Word of God is a living thing… Take it as you would Rx's when you are ill. When a spirit of lack or infirmity strikes out at you, you have to resist those spirits like you would resist drinking alcohol or resist illicit sex. To accept lack without a fight is a sin. To accept sickness without a fight is a sin. We are to resist them. Refuse to let Satan put them on us.
(Psalms 107:20) He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
(Psalms 119:130) The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
(Romans 12:2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
When you take the promises of God and feed on them, you are taking spiritual vitamins which bring health and strength to your body.
This is your key. Recognize that those things coming against you which are against the Word of God, are a spirit. You have power over that Spirit. Bind it up in the name of Jesus. Then loose the promises of God in your behalf. You give voice to the Word of God by speaking His promises. When you give voice to the Word, then you are becoming a doer of the Word and not just a hearer. That releases the Holy Spirit to bring its materializations of what you have loosed.
I let no corrupt communications proceed out of my mouth except that which is good to edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearer. I never grieve the Holy Spirit of God whereby I am sealed unto the day of redemption. (Eph 4:29-30)
No man can ever take me out of God's hand because I have eternal life. (Jn 10:29)
I will never allow the Word of God to depart from my eyes for it is life to me for I have found rest and health and healing to all my flesh. (Prov 4:21-22)
God is on my side and in me now, so who can be against me? (II Cor 6:16)
I can do all things through Christ which dwells in me. (Phil 4:13)
I never fear evil because the Lord is always with me and comforts me. (Ps 23:4)
No weapon will ever prosper that forms against me because I belong to the Lord. (Is 54:17)
I am continually delivered from the ills of this present day world, for it is the will of God. (Gal 1:4)
Great is the peace of my children because they are taught of the Lord. (Is 54:13)
For poverty He has given me wealth, for sickness He has given me health. For death He has given me eternal life. (2 Cor 8:9, Jn 10:10, Jn 5:24)
Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law and the curse of poverty and the curse of sickness…and the curse of Spiritual death. (Gal 3:13, Deut 28)
I have given and it is given unto me, pressed down shaken together and running over shall men give unto my bosom. (Luke 6:38)
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. He was made poor so that through His poverty I might have abundance. (Ps 23:1, 2 Corinthians 8:9, Jn 10:10)
Since I have been given the gift of righteousness, I reign as a king in life by Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17)
The Lord has pleasure in my prosperity and Abraham's blessings are mine. (Ps 35: 27, Gal 3:14)
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. (Ps 138:

9 PROPHECY: / Visions and Dreams / CONTEND FOR THE RAIN...A VISITATION FROM GABRIEL by Jamie Galloway 10/24 on: Today at 04:46:06am
Jamie Galloway: "A Visitation from Gabriel"
As some of you may have read and heard about the drought in the southeastern areas of the United States, I felt it was important to share this word of encouragement and how we ought to respond.
On the 24th of August, I was taken into a prophetic experience where I saw the angel, Gabriel. This was a first for me! When I write that I saw him, it was not in my spirit or my minds eye, but I was there in the spirit, where he was. As Paul the apostle wrote concerning his Heavenly encounter, "Whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows" (2 Corinthians 12:2), the same was very true with this prophetic experience.
My wife and I were staying at Kimberly and Alberto Rivera's house when I saw him. His hair was both black and gold, and his skin was made of gold and silver. His nose was longer in its definition and he had clouds at his feet. His eyes were deep and he had the look of a focused man. I was stunned as I stared at him. I fell near his feet and deliberately raised my hands up and began to worship the name of Jesus Christ.
He spoke something personal, but his very appearance was incredibly
significant for the U.S. And that night was the first time it had poured a heavy rain in Nashville, Tennessee, almost all summer.
The following day, I told a good friend and intercessor about the visitation and the rains, and he responded with something very interesting. He spoke with his wife a few days earlier, confirming my visitation with Gabriel. My friend felt like the only thing that could have the potential to break off the drought of Tennessee and the rest of the South, would call for Jesus to specifically send the angel, Gabriel.
I knew Jesus had sent him to bring rain and on September 8, a tropical cyclone named "Gabrielle" started heading towards North Carolina. The storm was named Gabrielle, which is the feminine form of "Gabriel." I believe God was sending this strong wind to be a blessing of rain to North Carolina and a message to the South. I believe our Papa was manifesting Himself as gentle and loving, like a mother hen as Jesus said it Himself in Luke 13:34. He could have come as another form, but He chose to show His gentleness. The storm reported no fatalities and little destruction, but gave massive amounts of rain. This was a blessing and not a curse.
A Word to the South
The word I am getting for the South is it is time to "Cast your cares upon the Lord for He Cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). The drought is a sign to us of our spiritual status. But if we must not settle for a drought in our hearts, we must contend for a softening of our hearts to be sensitive to God's voice. To the South, it is time to "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you" (James 4:.
Gabriel is a messenger of Heaven that was foreshadowing things to come. We need to hear the prophetic message God is saying at this time. It is time for Heaven to bring refreshing to this land, and we need to yield our hearts to His call. Contend for rain in our hearts and our land.

10 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / ARE WE READY FOR A VISITATION FROM GOD? 10/24 on: Today at 04:41:57am
Are We Ready for a Visitation from God?
“At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ‘Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’ The words ‘once more’ indicate the removing of what can be shaken - that is, created things - so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:26-29).
Dear Intercessors,
Many of us have been praying for a visitation from God. Many of us have been praying for revival. A question we must ask ourselves is: “Are we really ready for a visitation from God?” “Can we really handle the power of God when it comes?” “Are we really willing to pay the price for God’s visitation?” As we look at the general condition of the Church worldwide, the obvious answer to this question is: “No, we are not ready.”
If we want a true visitation from the Holy Spirit, it will cost us everything. God will play havoc with our personal lives. We will be challenged one by one with everything in our lives - our work, our time, our finances, our friends, our prayer life, our all. God leaves nothing out. He is after all that we are and ever will be. He wants to consume our life with Himself. The price is high. Are we personally willing and ready to give our self to God to this degree?
Let’s not say we want revival unless we are willing to pay the price. Let us not sing pious songs of commitment unless we are willing to live it out in our lives day in and day out, with or without the feelings. Let’s not say we want to pray unless we are willing to spend those long, personal hours in the prayer room alone with God. God is raising up a mighty prayer movement. He is preparing the entire Church for the end-times revival. He is shaking everything that can be shaken. This is not just in the physical realm with earthquakes and famines, but with our own personal lives as well. God is after something - He is after our flesh and every ounce of our self-life. He wants our full attention. We must be willing to pay the price.
Let’s learn to say “yes” to God right where we are today. God will shake us to the core. Every issue in our life will be challenged. My husband and I are right now involved in a 24-7 month of day and night prayer in southern Spain. Everyday we must say “yes” to God. There are times when I personally feel so empty of myself, so lost in the immensity of God, so challenged to the core of my being. For God is saying to me, “Do you really mean business?” “Are you willing to stay in my House of Prayer even when others don’t? “Will you carry the torch of prayer for the sake of my cause?” “Will you let my fire consume you and all that you are or ever will be?” We must learn to say “yes” to the purposes of God every day of our lives. God is after us, all of us. He is raising up a Church that is steadfast and totally committed.
When I was a new missionary many years ago living on an old ship that sailed from nation to nation preaching the Gospel and encouraging the Church, I remember how I felt after the ship left port from my own beloved country. We were sailing towards South America for the next two years. I felt so lost and lonely, not knowing the language and so new to the whole mission’s world. Being young and inexperienced, I felt like two years on board that ship was a lifetime. We had no e-mail in those days, and I would call home only once a year. I was with over three hundred strangers from over forty nations on board and had left everything behind, except for a few personal belongings. I was living in a tiny cabin with three others from three different nations, and we had nothing in common but our commitment to Christ. Not being a seasoned sailor, I would often feel the movement of the seas, and didn’t even know how to swim. And here we were, all sailing by faith towards South America in an immense ocean and with an unknown future. I was feeling deeply the cost of commitment during those days.
Since that time years ago, God has challenged me again and again with the same level of commitment - “Am I willing to give up everything for the cause of Christ?” “Will I let God have His way with me each and every day?” “Am I willing to pay the price of commitment?” “Do I really want a visitation from God?”
Where are you with God? Is He wrestling with you over some issue in your life? Can you say “yes” to Him today? Can you say, “Lord, have your way with me. I will stand and pray for a visitation from You. I will pray for this end-time revival at all costs. I will live out commitment in my life each and every day in prayer. I am Yours totally.” Are you willing to pray this pray and pay this price for revival?
When crowds of people came to visit our ship and when there were endless lines of people waiting to get on board, we realized that commitment is no small thing. We had to work when we didn’t feel like working, we had to serve when we didn’t feel like serving, we had to pray when we didn’t feel like praying, and we had to smile when we didn’t feel like smiling. The result? Many came into the Kingdom and turned their lives over to Christ. Revival and a visitation from God is not going to be all fun and dancing. It will be sheer commitment and a dedicated life style for all of us. Are we ready for God’s visitation or are we just playing games. God is raising up a Church that is willing to pay the price.
In whatever way God is challenging your life today, take a small step forward, and say “yes” to Him. It’s step-by-step, choice-by-choice, yes-by-yes, one day at a time, and in one act of self-denial at a time that you will find true life. Jesus calls you to discipleship and says in Matthew 16:24-25, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” Let’s prepare for this worldwide revival. It is in daily commitment that we will find true life and will be ready for a visitation from God.
“When you pray for revival and a visitation from God, you’re asking God for life-shaking experiences that will cost you plenty. Revival is agonizing: It so terrorizes you over your sin that you repent deeply. Revival is consuming: It leaves you no time for hobbies, for chores around the house, for work, for sleep. Revival wrecks your appointment calendar, interrupts TV times demands your full attention.” Elmer Towns
Please pray for our 24-7 here in southern Spain near Gibraltar.
Together in the Harvest,

WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING TODAY – October 24, 2007 – “God Gave”
Ras Robinson
Oct 24 2007 07:00AM
October 24, 2007 (English y en Espanol-al final). God gave. You have again brought great pleasure to My heart through your giving. It is My nature to give. You have My nature. Give and it will given abundantly back to you, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing will it come back to you. I gave My Son Jesus and look at the sons and daughters I have receiving for My giving. Look around you. What do you see that you could give. Try giving it all away, like I did. Oh the glory of My wonders waiting for you. God gave.
John 3:16 "For God so love the world that He gave…"
