Our burn offerings of hots and hamburgers were sacrificed unto the Lord and Becky and I recevied much love, blessings and prophectic encouragement!
Please pray for Becky, (my wife) as both her brother and a nephew are suffering from accelerated aggressive cancer. Pray for immediate and miraculous healing in both situations.
Her brother, Brad, is 60+ and may not have much time left, unless the LORD should intervene. His wife Judy is a a believer and an intercessor and is still believing God for a miracle. Let’s believe with her.
Her sister’s (Terri) son, Phillip, turned 29 in October of last year. He has had undiagnosed cancer for 7-9 years. It has manifested as tumors. The tumors are generated by a hormone. They can’t give him chemo or radiation, but there is a hormone shot they can give him ($1200 a month) The hormone injection could extend his life for as much as 10 years.
So, please pray for wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of God. That the Lord will bring certain and sure salvation with His peace to both. Also, pray for all the family members and that this situation will be used to the Glory of God!
They both live in California and we are believing the Lord for His provision as Becky will be flying to be a testimony and a light of hope to her family. We thank you for your partnership in prayers and support!
Blessings!

“Lighter of Burning and Shining Lamps Until He Returns!”
I’m posting a prayer I have developed this past year for ME (my copyright is that you have the right to copy). Its not the only thing I petition heaven for as many of you are regularly in my conversations with Jehovah! I’ve often thought why do I pray for myself, it seems so very selfish! Why isn’t something changing? God, do you hear me?
Yet, I knew that in order for me to be strengthen in my inner man I needed to ask for help!
Hallelujah! Revelation has come to my soul…He hears me…He told me so! Yes, He does talk to us! AND that is the fruit of intimacy with our Bridegroom, King and Judge! He loves to hear our hearts and He will and does share His heart with us!
Our conversations with the LORD can be much like they are with others: when one is speaking the other is thinking about what they are going to say next instead of slowing down to listen.
The issue of “being still and knowing He is GOD” is simple but not easy. I would close my eyes and hear the rush of thoughts competing with the voice of the LORD! Sometimes I would finally quite down and fall asleep. What heavenly peace! There have been moments where I sensed I had broken through the gates of heaven into His Throne room but alas, it was time to get back to life.
It took me almost a year to understand the importance of writing all the “tasks” or “distractions” from prayer down during my time before the LORD and then laying them aside.
My prayer for you is that you will being the journey of regular/daily prayer. Write down things you would like to talk to the LORD about. Organize your list.
Here comes the the secret to prayer: SCHEDULE IT! Your prayer times will perish (vanish) if you don’t first SCHEDULE IT!
My Prayer****
FATHER, release the spirit of the fear of God into my heart. Release the lightning and thunder from Your Throne to strike my heart (Rev. 4:5) with Your majesty, that I might live in awe before You.
Release Your presence and holy dread that makes me tremble before You. Unite my heart to your Heart and Word and cause me to delight in the fear of God.
ABBA, strengthen my spirit with ENDURANCE that I may do Your will with ZEAL and DILIGENCE and that I not quit pursuing the deep things of God. Lord, give me Your zeal as You gave it to Phineas and David and my beloved Jesus!
Impart endurance for FASTING. Direct my heart into the endurance in which Jesus walked so that I may have the strength to follow through in my commitments to God even when times are difficult.
FATHER, pour out Your love into my heart by releasing the influences of the Spirit to give me revelation of Your love for me, that it may overflow in love back to You and to others. ABBA, I cannot love others as you do without the revelation of how God loves God. Would you impart to me this truth that I might be salt and light and a true witness. Give me strength and discernment and direction into Your Heart for all my decisions and actions that my life will glorify you.
FATHER, allow me to comprehend Jesus’ love for me and to abide in it. Let His seal upon my heart fill me that I will love you with all my heart my soul my mind and my strength.
ABBA, help me to comprehend what is the width and length and depth and height of your love by experiencing the affections of Christ. Let me abide in your love! Let me see and love myself through Your eyes that I might daily thank you for who I am to You.
ABBA… let this love we have increase day to day for all eternity!
FATHER, let me see the light of Your glory. I want to encounter YOU. Grant me Holy Spirit encounters (dreams, visions, angelic visitations, manifestations of light, fire, wind) as You gave to Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, John and Paul, LORD, they were all men, just like me. Please show me your glory!! Lift up the light of Your countenance upon me that I migt see you in all truth. Lift me up in the spirit and bring me to Your holy hill. Open my eyes that I may see you!
ABBA, strengthen me so I may maintain a life in Your word with desire for it. When I lose this focus, send Your word to deliver me as You did for the saints at Ephesus, Sardis and Laodicea. Alert me when I need to recommit my schedule and priorities to live as a person of one thing who regularly sits at Your feet, as Mary of Bethany did. Lord, let me recognize business, guilt and despair for what they are and to submit them to you and ask for help to overcome them that I may maintain fervency in my relationship with you. Stir my heart to be in Your presence and to behold the beauty of the LORD!
FATHER, strengthen me to walk in a way worthy of my highest calling and to escape all compromise that I might stand before You victorious in full obedience. Help me to be faithfull unto all the fullness you have for me! Cause me to be sober and alert that I will be prepared to escape the entrapments of sin. Let me not be found taking your grace for granted. Keep me from compromise so that I may walk blameless in body, soul and spirit! Strengthen my heart that no offence may enter in. Create in me a clean heart. Give me a steadfast spirit that I might guard my steps and walk in purity. Grant that I will have resolve to set nothing impure or wicked before my eyes. Search my heart and reveal any secret faults that I might cling to and deliver me from evil. And let not my heart be anxious.
ABBA, set a guard over my lips. Free me from defensive, angry and foolish speech. Let me restrain my conversation with man so that I might not trespass against my neighbor. Let me not stumble in my words. Let the words I speak be acceptable to you. Holy Spirit quench any unwholesome speech and let no corrupt words come from my mouth. Let me be known as one who speaks life and only those words that bring edification. Let me speak grace to those you bring into my life.
JESUS, I want to learn from You how to walk in lowliness. I commit to take Your yoke of humility and lowliness of heart in my life in my attitudes, speech, and actions. Give me wisdom on how to carry my heart in humility. Let me do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit and let me learn the mind of Christ! Teach me to esteem others.
FATHER, give me insight into Your Word, will, and ways. Give me wisdom on how to live before You that I may walk in intimacy (union) with You. Kiss me with the kisses of your word that I will have a spirit of wisdom and revelation in all knowledge of you and your will for my life.
ABBA, give me insight that I may walk under the Spirit’s leadership, that we may partner together, in every issue in my life including my finances, schedule, emotions, circumstances, physical body (diet, health), relationships (in the home, office, ministry), my future, fears, addictions, etc. Give me new spirit-filled ideas in each area of my life.
I ask for insight into Your end-time purposes for eternity, the New Jerusalem, the judgment seat of Christ, and hell. Give me, Lord, skill to understand Your mysteries even in the last days.
FATHER, strengthen my heart with supernatural peace and joy that overpowers fear and anxiety that I would not sin. Guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus! Fill me with hope and joy and peace that I may walk in confidence and the power of the Holy Spirit!
Ok, so I’ve prayed this prayer over a year and sometimes I look at the way I lived my life at the end of the day and wonder what happened? The question is: “What would have happened if I hadn’t prayed these prayers?”

HOPE CITY OUTREACH...Food, Worship & the Word
A recent message delivered by Daniel Lim at an FCF focused on a main reason why our country is headed in the direction it is:
I googled and found this Link to stats: http://www.baptist.ca/church/files/Functional%20Structures/the_bridger_generation.pdf which represent the stats regarding 4%…
There is a failure in the church…The failure is its washed down Gospel that promotes tolerance to the degree that we do not hold fast to that which is good. We live in the days of so much tolerance inside the “church” that we call “good evil and evil good”. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Isa 5:20 This includes me as I identify myself with the “church”!
The point is that the “Bridger Generation” has no moral compass to make judgments regarding leadership of a country. As believers of Jesus Christ as our LORD and SAVIOR, we must hold the scriptures and its teachings to be true.
For instance (one of many), killing babies can be found no where in the bible as something God tolerates or delights in. (period) In fact God’s says He will require blood for the killing of the innocent. Today our nation as well as many other nations of this world (who will all answer to God) stand in judgment of “innocent” blood on our hands. (In more than one way).
God’s love may tell us to turn the other cheek but it does not tell us to TURN OUR BACK ON HIS WORD for the sake of tolerance. We have confused being persecuted with being tolerant, for instance we hold fast and proclaim His truth in “turning the cheek” to be the point of being tolerant. Not the same thing at all! A true and faithful witness speaks the truth in love and would even exercise judgment by their VOTE. For some reason the “church” has not taught that God judges nations as well as individuals. From Genesis to Revelation God judges the nations. Most of all we need to cast our vote inside the booth of our conscious before the LORD and do the right thing.
A country’s laws say a lot about it’s moral compass. I don’t believe we should need a law against abortion. I believe we should live our lives in such a way that abortion isn’t needed. However, a nation that turns it back on the “killing of innocent babies” sets itself to be judged by our God who judges nations and has since nations were born.
We have become a people that are more concerned about their pocketbooks than what is good and what is evil, a people who have removed their hearts from God and His love.
So we talk about the injustices in our country and is the earth. Even if you feed every poor person in the world they could “gain the world but lose their soul”. We need the understanding that each of us stand before God with the condition that says He is other than us. condemned in our sins without the work of Cross. We have all sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. If we feed the body but do not call the soul out to repent then we do an injustice to the eternal condition of that soul. When we feed the poor as a doorway to feed their spirit with the Gospel of the Kingdom then we have done the work of the Father. But to feed to poor to say we are all equal then we forget that a full stomach does not save. Humanistic justice could care less if God is glorified only that a guilty conscious of greed is temporarily soothed only to become greedy again.
I think it is very interesting that in Minnesota a tornado strikes the cross on top of the building where “homosexuals” were being welcomed into leadership as ordained to do the will of God. In the following link we see that LUTHERANS VOTED 66.6% (666) IN FAVOR OF HOMOSEXUAL ORDINATION In the article is it clear that God does judge this the nations and the world with plagues, weather patterns, disease, etc. It is all in the bible. We are foolish to think WE control the weather patterns of this world. We are very prideful as least to say we do!
True change is the change of our hearts before God not some sweeping change dictated by an individual or a political party. It is realizing the wretchedness of our condition without the LOVE of God! A people given to God and His ways is a state that is governed by God and so the converse it true. How shall we separate the two: by becoming a Godless nation.
Bottom line is that I personally as a believer have to repent because I have not cried out to God to change my heart as well as the hearts of this nation in regards to His ways. And even as I do today I see the error of my way and my contribution to the condition of this country before our Maker.
The Prophets of God didn’t have a “we, they” cry unto the LORD, they cried unto God with “repentance” in their hearts and identified with the sin of their nation (even if they were walking in purity). This is what happens when we have seen great revivals like the 1st and 2nd Great Awakenings. Another Great Awakening is coming to this earth it is the final Awakening called the end-time harvest. There is also coming the Great Falling Away where many who have proclaimed to believe will become offended towards God and turn their backs on Him.
This is also another indicator that the return of Yeshua is soon. (no date predicted) Just soon or sooner than MOST think!
God’s Kingdom does not and will not have a political bone in its structure. It will have no need of two or more parties. He will reign in truth, righteousness and peace! Until then we exercise by our vote judgments regarding what earth should be like until Heaven comes to earth as it says in the Book of Revelation and throughout scripture.
When we pray “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy Kingdom come, They will be done ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” Then we proclaim a Kingdom, a state, a nation, if you will, that does the will of the father because of our Love of HIM.
Let us love in good deeds and works of righteousness….let us exercise God’s judgments in our abilities to vote.
For the record I can no longer identify with any “party” only with the judgments of God. Obviously that will make it difficult to choose in the days ahead. So I am left with much study (of the word of God) and much prayer to cast judgment according to the will of God.
We are living within the Last Generation before the Messiah returns. Let us all seek to understand the “times and the seasons” as Christ commanded us to do! Jesus said to “Watch and pray!” many times. The Great deception is coming upon us. It is real, as real as unemployment!
Another interesting verse in the bible: “For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” 1Pe 4:17
Christ the Lamb has been slain but it is Christ the Lion who is coming next.
Serving By His Grace For His Glory In His Love Until He Returns!
with love,
