Postcards of Prayer!

1 Timothy 2 (NASB)

A Call to Prayer

2 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, ² for kings and all who are in ^[a]authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and ^[b]dignity. ³ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴ who desires all men to be saved and to come to the ^[c]knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

This is the verse read at President Trump’s inaugeration, and then preached powerfully at the national prayer breakfast by Rear Admiral Barry Black (Ret), Senate Chaplain – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr9sCtJ61_8

The Enemy’s attack against this administration is relentless!  As we discussed in our Thursday meeting recently, a postcard attack against President Trump is planned for the White House for March 15, which is the Ides of March.  This attack of pink post cards is to commemorate the assassination of Julius Caesar on March 15 in 44 B.C.!!!  It is to tell Donald Trump that he is fired and that they have assassination in mind if he doesn’t leave the Presidency!!!

But greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world, and we can do a preemptive counter attack by praying and also by sending our own postcards of support, prayer, and love to the White House!  I’ve got to mine ready to mail later today!  How about all of you Battle Cry warriors???  Let’s join our fellow believers in this regard:

“Starting Now through March 14 – Let’s Flood the White House
With Post Cards of Prayer!”
by Jane Hansen Hoyt, Edmonds, WA

“A Call to Action! Starting Now through March 14 – Let’s Flood the White House With Post Cards of Prayer!”

We know that we walk as Esthers in the earth. We know that since the beginning, women function under a mandate that exposes every evil plot of the enemy. While we were in DC recently, we learned of such a hideous plot called the Ides of March that has a dedicated Facebook page.

Those currently involved in resisting the new administration have targeted March 15th as a day to send President Trump a postcard expressing their opposition to him. Their plan is to overwhelm him with pink postcards symbolic of the pink slip that a person is given when fired. They plan to overwhelm the postal service by sending cards that contain hate-filled messages. Such as, Sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.

Queen Esther wrote a new decree that trumped the one previously written.

I am asking you to begin sending in postcards to President Trump that simply say, “I am praying for you.”

President Trump said those were the most meaningful words that he heard while on the campaign trail. And with the current atmosphere of chaos and insanity in our nation, I want him to know that there is a worldwide army that is supporting him in prayer.

I ask that you share this opportunity with your friends, your family, at your workplace, and with your church.

Start NOW sending your cards of support, but also – let us all send one on March 14th (the day before) to counter the Ides of March plot.

The address to send your post cards is:

President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW

Washington, DC 20500

The Word of God tells us that we are to pray for all those in authority. I’m asking you to lay aside your personal, political views and join together for the good of our nation.

Let’s counter the hate with grace and love. Let’s flood Heaven with prayer and the White House with cards and letters for such a time as this!

The Supernatural Blessing of Rain..

As most of you know, we have spent many years walking among native americans, learning much about the movings and workings of God in North America, from a people close to Him and nature.

Many times, in times of drought, we would witness prayer for rain, and it would rain, watering the earth, and causing life to again come forth.

We know how God caused a drought to come upon Israel and then Elijah prayed and rain came, in abundance.

Rain in Scripture, generally symbolizes God’s blessing upon the earth:

Deuteronomy 28:12

The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

Psalm 147:8

He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.

There are many instances of God sending rain, throughout Jewish history. Here is an account given in my seminary reading from Dr. Young’s ‘Jesus the Jewish Theologian’, that I find edifying and comforting, the story of the Jewish rabbi known to be heard by God, and answered in rain: He is known as Choni the Circle Maker. Here is his story, from the Jewish legend:

http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/448345/jewish/Choni-the-Circle-Maker.htm

Is it any wonder then, that many native american tribes identify strongly with Israel, recognizing clearly that the Jesus we worship as Christians is Jewish, that His homeland is Israel, the land that He loves.

Yesterday, as Franklin Graham opened in prayer at President Donald Trumps inauguration, as President Trump took the platform, a gentle rain began to fall:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8CHxAoIcl4

I believe God has had mercy on the nation of America again, that as we again bless Israel, stop abortion and corruption, and do what is right before God, He will again bless this country.

God has had mercy upon America again!

Now, we must recognize this great love towards us, and respond to heaven…

The change begins with me and you.

What can I do to make America great again?

What can you do?

What are areas of corruption that I have allowing in my life, my family?

What, today, will I do to eliminate these, to rise up to be the person of honor God has created me to be?

Jesus Lit A Match

For a year or so, Victory Christian Center held all night prayer meetings two times per month.

I attended these, seeking God Himself with everything in me.

During that time, I had a recurring dream that I didn’t understand.

It was a hot Oklahoma summer, before the time intercessors here had prayed in the rain and broken the drought.

In my dream, on a hot day, I saw a bush, totally withered, with the leaves still on it, all dry.

Jesus walked up to this bush, and in His hand He held a box of wooden matches.

He smiled really big, and lit a match and extended it towards the dead bush.

Then I would wake up smiling, not knowing what this was all about.

I had this dream repeatedly over a period of months, until finally, one night when I awoke I said: “Jesus? Why do I keep having this dream? Are You trying to speak to me?”

I thought about these verses from the life of Moses:

Ex 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Ex 3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

Immediately Holy Spirit spoke to me:

“America is in trouble. I have been preparing many of my servants in the business world for many decades, that I will now anoint and set apart as deliverers to this nation. I am lighting bushes on fire in their lives, to see if they will turn aside and seek me…”

Most of you know the rest of the story in my life, how I became one of those leaders – how I left the two companies we owned, and went out into the desert to learn the ways of native americans, and how God would desire to use them to unlock a great move of Holy Spirit across this land….

Syrian Refugees coming to USA – A Christian Response

Syrian Refugee’s coming to America – A Christian response

Most are aware of the Syrian refugee crisis, from the on-going war there.

http://www.mercycorps.org/articles/turkey-iraq-jordan-lebanon-syria/quick-facts-what-you-need-know-about-syria-crisis

Now, President Obama has announced that the US will receive 10,000 of these:

http://www.businessinsider.com/afp-how-the-us-plans-to-welcome-10000-syrian-refugees-2015-9

Many people feel there is a real threat to US security in this move, as radical Islam would conquer either by the sword or by infiltration, which ever accomplishes their means quickest.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/22/mccaul-administration-policy-allowing-syrians-onto-us-soil-is-dangerous/

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/14/st-louis-missouri-syrian-refugees

They are correct, for ISIS is trying to capitalize on this crisis.

http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/isis-smuggler-we-will-use-refugee-crisis-to-infiltrate-west/

http://news.yahoo.com/syrian-refugees-trojan-horse-islamic-state-174328749–politics.html

Yet, as a Christian leader in America, what is my personal response to these refugees coming to America?

Answer: Preach the gospel.

John 3:17

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Last night, I was at McDonald’s, and I happened to bump into a friend and mentor of mine, the evangelist Daniel King.( .  For those of you who do not know Daniel, check out his ministry at: http://www.kingministries.com/meetdaniel.html) While we played with our children, I asked him directly what his thoughts were on the Syrian refugee crisis, and more specifically about President Obama’s decision to admit 10,000 refugee into the USA.

His response stirred me to write this blog:

He said: ‘ Chris, I remember the words of Dr. T.L. Osborne, when asked about his response to refugees, and large displacements of populations. He said that God’s agenda is always the gospel, and if they were in an area where it was difficult to reach them, God moves them to areas where they can be reached’

Daniel and I agree on this one thing: God has no plan ‘B’ when it comes to the gospel, but His will for every human being is the gospel, that all men might be saved.

Acts 4:12

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved

This simple statement, made a flood of Scriptures come to my mind:

Matthew 24:14

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come

Mark 13:10

And the gospel must first be preached to all nations

2 Timothy 4:2

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

2 Corinthians 4:4

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of thegospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God

So, the nature of Satan is to kill, steal and destroy, he is a liar and the father of all lies.

On one side, one might think that satan is attempting to send 10,000 soldiers to America, to do what disciples of satan do, kill, steal, destroy and lie in any way necessary to usurp authority, to conquer America.

The question is always: What is the church’s response?

Do we cower in fear, and like many Christians have done internationally, as sheep, present ourselves a martyrs to become beheaded by ISIS?

Or is there a bolder response required?

What if we refused to fear radical Islam, with all its wonderfully mysterious murderous ways, and instead, learned the culture of Islam with the explicit purpose of winning Muslims to Christ.

Another friend of mine, Kamran Karimi, has written a great book entitled ‘In Allah they trust’ (http://www.amazon.com/In-Allah-They-Trust-Understanding/dp/1606833510) presenting what Muslims believe, and how to reach them with the love of Jesus.

As a full time missionary, I go to various places to preach Jesus, but often find that others have gone in His name before me, and done a horrible job of presenting Him!

I firmly believe that the role of a true missionary, is to study the culture, language where possible, traditions of a people group to discover THE WAYS GOD HAS ALREADY BEEN VISITING THAT PEOPLE!

So what if US churches deliberately decided to target these refugees with love, prayer, humanitarian aid, and then educated their members on cultural more’s of Muslim people.

Perhaps women could where kerchief’s not from a sense of subjection to their husbands, but in love for Jesus, as a way to help Muslim refugee women feel accepted, loved, and welcome in our churches.

Read 1 Cor 11: 1-15. Pastors, perhaps you could prepare teachings on why women do not need to wear head coverings under the gospel of grace.

Men can exemplify the love of Jesus towards our wives,

1 Peter 3:7

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered

Exemplifying how our wives become equal to us in graces in this life, co-laborers, worthy of honor, precious and beloved of God, and by us.

For those who are truly refugees, I believe our treatment of them will truly glorify God in showing mercy and compassion to the poor.

I believe love is stronger than hate, and if we reach out on purpose to these refugee’s in the love of Jesus, they we see why America is the land of the free, home of the brave, with true freedom, liberty and justice available to all.

This is the cross of Jesus, the gospel, the power of God, love to the unlovable, that satan cannot stop, nor thwart.

Satan may have an evil plan with these refugee’s but he has been kicked in the head so many times, that his very evilness trips him up.

1 Corinthians 2:8

None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory

Like Joseph we may say:

Now then, what if the conspiracy theories are correct?

That indeed ISIS would use this refugee crisis to mobilize an army here on US soil.

For this, we have the 2^nd Amendment, and he who would live by the sword, will die by it.

This is not a nation of ignorant sheep, easy prey for ISIS killers.

https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2015/01/21/did-jesus-give-the-2nd-amendment/

As I heard one ex-marine state: ‘Let them come. If they come with ill intent, it will save us all another trip back over to the Middle East…’

If they come in peace, America can be the most peaceful nation on earth to live.

If you come to conquer, simply ask the British, German’s, or Japanese how that went….

Let’s Pray:

‘Father, I am moved with compassion for those honestly trying to escape the horrors of war, who wish to raise their families for You, in peace, and welcome them to first the kingdom of God, through Jesus, and to America as their new home. May You mobilize us, Your people to become Your instruments of love, peace, and mercy towards a suffering people. To those who come to promote Islam, ISIS, and jihad, expose them. By faith I release revelation of their plots and plans, and by the authority of Jesus invested in us, I stop them, forbidding their destruction here. Amen’

July 4th Declaration – Heartland Apostolic Network!

DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE ON ALMIGHTY GOD

We decree 1 and we declare our allegiance to Almighty God, that Jesus Christ is Lord over our lives and

the United States of America. We declare we have no other King but Jesus! We are not independent,

but dependent on the Lord of Hosts to protect us, Jehovah Jireh to supply us and Jehovah Rapha to be

our healthcare Provider. Some trust in chariots2, some trust in doctors, some trust in governments,

some trust in banks, and some trust in people – but our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood

and His righteousness! We will have no other gods before You Father!

We commit to stand in the gap3 for our nation and the Covenant land of Israel. For Zion’s sake will I not

hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness,

and her salvation as a torch that burns4.

We thank you that You Lord God, our faithful Father, are the original Covenant Keeper, who keeps

covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His

commandments.5 We respectfully remind you of the covenants that our forefathers of this nation made

with you as they formed this nation6 and will not forget the sacrifice that they made for our freedom

and liberty.

We call upon the everlasting covenant to be reestablished upon us & the land. Even with Sodom &

Gomorrah with their sins, nevertheless You remembered Your everlasting covenant

We are engaging the synergy of the ages to come into this land, by Your grace & mercies that are

everlasting. We make this appeal to heaven to reestablish what You have already said & purposed for

the land & Your people—in this State of Texas, the United States of America (One Nation under God)

and in the covenant land of Israel.

Moses asked the nation of Israel in Exodus 32:26, “Who is on the Lord’s Side”, today we renew our

commitment, “We are on Your side Father”. We will be strong in You Lord and the might of Your power

and give you all the praise, all the honor and all the glory as we declare, “Jesus is LORD!”

Composed by Mary E. Bostrom, TXAPN Region 13 Coordinator – June 19, 2015

According to those in Ezekiel 9, may we be those who cry and sigh before You at those things done in this nation:

Intercessors, the wall has been breached!

On the day commemorating the first time the walls were breached in Jerusalem, the Supreme Court of the United States has decided same sex marriage is legal in the United States. We are thrust into the vision of Ezekiel Chapter 9, where God is marking those who sigh and cry out concerning the atrocities done in their midst. We must be numbered with the faithful to God and His Word.

I DECLARE AND DECREE A UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE TO SIGH AND CRY OUT FOR THE ATROCITIES BEING DONE IN THE LAND OF “ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.” TRUE FREEDOM COMES WITH SUBMISSION TO TRUTH! OH GOD! YOU ARE YOUR WORD! YOUR WORD IS TRUTH! MARK US WITH YOUR TRUTH! AND MAY HIS TRUTH MARCH ON! LIGHTS SET ON A HILL… SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD..SHINE IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS! LET THERE BE LIGHT!

IN JESUS NAME!
