Comments and Confirmations Kim Bill Mike Two months ago, God began stirring my heart in the area of a 40 day water only fast. This is something I have never considered in my Christian life before. I prayed about it to be sure that God was initiating this fast and I received confirmation and assurance to go ahead with it, knowing that because God was in it, mighty results would follow. My burden has always been for the church of Canada to rise up with power and authority and to begin to pray earnestly for revival for the land. We have been praying for several years now for revival to flood our nation, beginning in the churches, starting with the leadership. At the time of this writing, I am on my 36th day of water only, and though my body is taking quite a toll, my spirit is alive with God's promise and His faithfulness as your devotional for today so powerfully communicated. I found it awesome when I received an email from my daughter-in-law of the call for consecration for the Church of Canada. Truly, God's timing is now for His Spirit to be poured out upon the land like never before. These are tremendously exciting days for the body of Christ as we behold the visions, promises and expectations coming to pass this year of 2007! God bless you in your labours of love for this great country of Canada. "The blessing of the upright exalts the city..." Proverbs 11:11 Joyce Several months ago, the Lord put it on the heart of a
friend to invite intercessors from our city to gather on a bi-weekly basis to
pray for our government at all levels, particularly elections when and where
they would come up. As we gathered together last Saturday afternoon (August 4)
to pray, one of the women present started to praise and thank God for what He is
doing in Canada with respect to this time of consecration. Specifically, she
thanked God for how He is leading all of us to pray together as one, to hear one
another speak from all across Canada as one Body, and to function in unity that
way. As she prayed, she saw a prairie fire starting across Canada. The fire was
low to the ground and moving fast, started by God Himself. She continued to pray
as she saw this picture. Another woman in our group began to hear in her spirit
during this prayer that this deeper functioning of unity as a Body of believers
will stop the Jezebel spirit and the Leviathan spirit from operating in the Body
of Christ the way that it has in the past. Marjorie I want to thank all of you for what you are doing. It is making a profound and lasting impact on my life and my walk with the LORD. I know now that the LORD has been preparing me for this for some time. I give Him the praise, glory, and honor due His Name, for only He is worthy to be praised. I want, also, to thank you for your faithfulness to His call on your lives as you continue this awesome work in His Name. Beverley God is awesome! I'm thankful for unity in the Spirit and
always overjoyed at the confirmation of what He reveals. Without having any
prior knowledge, the Lord Himself revealed the same process to me, on exactly
the same dates. Praise God!!! Tom I just want to say thank you for
being sensitive to the flow of the Spirit. I would like to share a dream
that I had about three weeks ago. I believe that this call and consecration is the exact confirmation that I needed. This has lifted my faith and given me more specific direction and dedication towards a meaningful purpose. I have really noticed this year
that it seems that when God is about to move or do something wonderful that
there is a time of testing and conflict just before the great is about to
happen. John I feel that in these days we need to have great mercy for one another, because the Spirit is going to reveal things in our lives that have been hidden or that we even felt were dealt with these will be 'hard things’. So I feel that our mercy needs to be great towards the person so our Father is free to work on them. Also, I would encourage those who are having these areas revealed, not to run from them, but seek help from those you trust and help get these areas dealt with. Mary Lynn I love so much that the season the Lord has me in
personally fits with the consecration time for us as a nation. David mentioned a
transitioning into the next purposes of God for us. Gerry My spirit witnesses very strongly to the call of Watchmen
for the Nation, and the call of the Holy Spirit upon your life. I lift you up to
the Lord and to His awesome love for you. Be filled with His joy!! Every day I am blessed when I read "Thy Kingdom Come" e-mails. Thank you. I was startled to see through the e-mails how much of everything the Lord is saying in this season is really all about "order". I hear the Spirit saying; "Let there be holiness and righteousness unto God in the temple of God". From there we begin to express the Kingdom of God. From there we come into proper order. Be filled with the Spirit David Late last fall the Lord brought me to a place where I was
not satisfied with myself and, as was put in "call to consecration," was
realigning myself and my family to consecrate ourselves to God. We have and
still are living in this "season of alignment" In fact Jer 32:38-41 has been the
verses my wife has been praying over our family for the last year!!! Marleen Thank you so much for this 52 day journey. It is proving so rich. The other day when I went to open the Bible, it fell open at Is. 52:8 Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together; for they shall see eye to eye. David This is another David from St. Augustine, Florida, with 7
children of my own! Steve Only good can come of this. This is the time
to rally one another to believe the promises. Jan This gives greater understanding to so much that has been going on lately. Also it confirms what some prophetic intercessors and I have been discerning. During our prayer meeting a couple weeks ago, when former seasons there would not have been so much "talking", we shared with each other at length about what we thought God was saying and doing in this season. We also talked about how God was stirring something so urgent, so intense and serious within us concerning the areas of: total consecration, fasting (not food), hearing God as a group, importance of our relationships, and personal/corporate preparation. Something is coming and it is very near. It has to do with breakthrough and a huge release, to wake up and seek the Lord, His Kingdom and His righteousness in every area of our lives. Fervently. We find things are shifting and not the same, many are caught in trying to go back or stay in what “was”. We are praying we all let go of what we need to and hang onto God and what He is saying, like never before. There are so many in the Valley of Decision. It is Time. Jane I have had Amos 7:8 or the last couple of years and even more strongly in the last little while. Amos 7:8 And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, a plumb line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I am setting a plumb line as a standard in the midst of My people Israel. I will not pass by and spare them any more. While I was in Winnipeg recently I kept feeling the ground
shifting, and shifting sands came to my mind. At first, I thought I was
dizzy, but others were feeling it too - then I felt the Lord say, “ Position
yourself and the scriptures from Matthew” There were tremendous thunder storms
there too and tornadoes -Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who
says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the
will of My Father Who is in heaven. I feel it is not a time to lie back and relax. Words carry great power and we need to guard our lips. Matthew 7:23 and Amos 7:8 say to me that the shift will be publicly noticeable and there will be no doubt it is God. So calling the nation to alert I don't think is an option, but a definite. Josephine It is extremely interesting that
your email came at this hour. It affirms many things that have taken place from
the week leading up to July 7 to the present.
Briefly, these were in my thoughts and plans that are still in the works as I am
waiting on Him for further directions for my church. You
(David) are right, as it is not about the physical of prayer and fasting or
gathering, but of the heart. This is perhaps the season for pockets (groups) of
believers all over doing whatever the Lord will direct. Janette
