52. Prayer @ The GATES Initiative Released

Good day all BELIEVERS in CHRIST – RSA

I hereby submit a PRAYER STRATEGY that can be released at will into faith communities, to Church Leaders & Spiritual Elders of your town/city/village/ suburb…and in your area.
[I will use our town as example:]

The Lord released this PRAYER strategy for the 7 x Sundays before the elections.

With the continuous prayer for the elections that is initiated from the apparent 40 different platforms in the country, the Lord is calling us to account and pray for this nation’s condition.
Is 59-62

Our God has His plan for South Africa, to become the nation that He has destined it to be from the beginning of time… in order for Him to be hailed as the only true God of this nation… to receive all the honor and glory. He is the Creator, Savior and Redeemer of this Nation.

There is a great testimony of the previous time when the Lord instructed us to pray at the “Gates” of Tzaneen. It had a paralyzing effect on the hostility & eminent anarchy that was embarking on our streets to disrupt the peace in our town. And as yet we have to keep on praying continuously and keep on standing in the gap… while we ourselves come in unison to stand together as one, as Christ and the Father are One. (Jhn 17)

Would you be able to take this further from your church/faith group/ fellowship side…?

It would be wonderful if the different Christ Faith Churches/fellowships could initiate it from their own groups as we could do this together at liberty to do as you are led.

Starting on Sunday the 14th of April and ending on the seventh Sunday, the 26th of May.

WHEN:

1. Identify the (7) Gates around your town/city/area. (Marked on a map if applicable)

2. Appoint a responsible person/facilitator for each Gate you would man for each Sunday.

In order for mobilizing, overseeing and feedback, and ask them to invite people to join them at assembly points.

3. Identify the specific gate where you want to pray.

Motivate people to identify the gate where they would like to attend and ask all to invite everyone on their media platforms to partake.

4. Identify the ASSEMBLY point

Assembly points to be identified together with the responsible person. They need to have peace about the spot.

In all other places responsible persons need to communicate the specific assembly points with the people in their group

5. Prayer Points – will be prepared for every Sunday.

Specific strategic prayer points will be posted on a blog post for those relating back to me. But all is welcome to use their own…

There are 8 different spheres in society that makes it easier to know what to pray for.

For this Prayer initiative we can symbolically call it “Gates” in society.

Significant national & municipal landmarks for the EIGHT spheres in society can be identified along these spheres in society:

1. Family & Residential gate: suburbs, street, town, village and/or house.

2. Religious gate: Churches and places of worship (Acts3:2)

3. Governmental gate: Places of legislation and law: parliament, Union buildings,… all Courts, police stations, municipalities…

4. Education gates: universities, colleges, schools…

5. Business & commerce gates: JSE, places of commerce, banks…

6. Science & Technology gates: medical , science & engineering, (CSSR, chemists, hospitals, blood banks & clinics) … (Acts5:2)

7. Art & Culture gates: monuments, memorials…altars, rituals and ceremonies

8. Media gate: all forms and sections of media

ASSISTANCE & LEGALITIES

If possible organize a legalized security/assistance vehicle in case of any emergency for you’re your area.

I don’t know if this is necessary to arrange anything with the local municipalities for it is NOT a march.?

SEND FORTH THE CALL:

Your are encouraged to send this on to other groups and ask them to contact me/you if they will be joining… even if its just for one Sunday.

PURPOSED OUTCOME:

This is for the safety, future destiny, Divine plan and peace in our nation… and in our homes eventually!

We hereby will release the BANNER of GOD’s NAME over this nation and put HIS NAME’S STAKE in the ground as we repent and ask God “to heal our land” :

  • Symbolically we put our feet on the ground to pray and declare His name over our towns and nation – for His righteous Kingdom rule to be established in our nation. (Joshua 1:3, Ps. 89:14)
  • The Body of Christ to rise up in unity to be one in God (John 17)
  • Declarations & repentance unto salvation & eternal life only found in the truth of the Good News Gospel of Christ into our area & nation: Christ’s Blood speak forgiveness unto LIFE, NOT death! People to turn back to God their Father and Lord.
  • As we humble ourselves and come in heartfelt repentance, the Lord forgives our sins and cleans us unto redemption. We can therefore come boldly to the Throne of grace to receive mercy in this hour as we stand in the GAP – on the rampart of the walls of our nation. The perfect price Christ paid for our redemption; – for nations, tribes & tongues redeems us back to the Father. (Heb 9&10)
  • AS with Jericho we come together to release the Sound of the Almighty’s Voice (Shofar) over the area – releasing His REIGN and victory over sin and darkness. (Josh 6:4, Judges 7)
  • Anoint the roads with the oil/salt as symbol of HIS cleansing, protection, preservation and His PRESENCE we desire to hover over our Nation. (Is 21 & Dan 9)
  • We pray the End time purposes and plans of God to be established by His mighty working power – by His right hand – for ourselves, Body of Christ, our towns, country areas and nation.

Let us do this together.

3.1 AUTHORITY – For the sake of HIS KINGDOM’S REIGN

“Let us EMPLOY His authority for God’s NAME’s sake !”

Joh 5:27 (The Father) gave Christ authority to execute judgment because He is the Son of Man.

Christ has given us His authority – to execute it in HIS NAME…:

Mat 28: (18)
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
(19) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,…
(20) teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;…

Luk 9:1 He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

Luk 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luk 19:17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

Pray therefore to take up your authority in Christ to go, and do His will!

3.2 AUTHORITY – All things under HIS SOVEREIGN RULE

“Let the Body of Christ RISE UP in power and strength of our God!”

Prayer of DECLARATION for His authority over the Body of Christ

Eph. 1:17-23
(17) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
(18) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
(19) and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (20) which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
(21) far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
(22) And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, (23) which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

SECURE your STAKE on the mountain TODAY by FAITH!
“KINGDOM reformation comes when the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives.”

Eph 2:20-22 (20) having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
(21) in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, (22) in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit… as we abide in Him.

Lord, we pray for Your kingdom reform to come in this now kairos-season :

49. TESTIMONY of GOD’S ANGELS of PROTECTION WITH US

TESTIMONY of GOD’S ANGELS of PROTECTION WITH US
01.03.2024
South Africa

A powerful testimony of God’s protection over our lives that a dear school friend of mine shared with me… testifying that our God is alive and with us every moment, everywhere!

On Friday (1.3.24) at 16:00, she was driving towards Roodepoort from Kemptonpark and was waiting at a (broken) traffic light. She was the 3rd car on the London Road bridge waiting to turn right onto the offramp towards the highway.

In the right rearview mirror, she saw someone approaching her window, pulling out a weapon. There were also one or two at the passenger window to the left.

The man at her window demanded her valuables… and she heard and saw the weapon being armed… Stunned by the mere gravity of the moment and thinking about the reports in the media that you should rather just co-operate in situations like these, she opened her window halfway, and was on the point of handing over her wedding ring and phone, as he continued shouting, “Give it, give it, Granny, give it!”

Then, suddenly realizing that the car in front had started moving, she closed her window and at the same time drove off quickly… ducking for the gunshots that were surely to follow.
But nothing further happened…

She testifies that it was only by God’s grace that she was alerted to see the car in front moving, as she does not generally think on her feet. The decision to race off was not hers .

In retrospect, she realized that the 1 or 2 men at the passenger window had no weapons, were not shouting, and did not knock or try to open the door…
They were clothed in white…
It must have been angels…

We praise God together with her for this amazing testimony that could have been so much different if God had not intervened.

God bless and keep you in this season
Alna

Thank you Heidi for sharing your testimony with me!

Scripture references:

Psa 91:9-11

(9)  Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
(10)  No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
(11)  For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.

Psa 103:20-22

(20)  Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.
(21)  Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
(22)  Bless the LORD, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Luke 9:26

(26)  For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.

Luke 12:8-10

(8)  “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
(9)  But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
(10)  “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

Luke 15:10

(10)  Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Let us use this wonderful testimony to pray that more people will find Christ the Lord as their Savior and yield their life’s reign over to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Give Him a chance to show Himself credible in your life.

He is faithful! He is your God! The Father, the Son, your creator, and Savior…

He is the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit in your innermost being who lead you every step of the way as you yield to His pre-eminence within you.

Embrace Him today as the Lord of your life!

48. “Memo to the Called”

The pride of life & the things of this world forces its priority on us. Only as He is lifted on high all who wills to “see” will be drawn unto Him and He will be glorified! Hailed by all of creation! Worshipped as the Great I am !

Pride of Life…

Extreme is the task that lays ahead,
Gross the calamity of our flesh, soul and sinful dread,
Weaknesses that ensnares our path,
And, oh, the pride of life that tempts in our head.

Man of God…

Oh, man of God lay down your crown!
Rather dare to follow The Son instead
His ways are pure, His words are truth,
He speaks of love amongst many other gracious worth.

Before His Throne…

Have you yet considered the moment before His Throne?
When asked what did you do with love?
How many days was self your lead?
Now to reveal your recited self-righteous creed.

Feed His sheep…

Low we bow before Your greatness, Lord,
To lay down our crowns and sword,
How fallible our greatest speech,
And yet you send us to feed Your sheep.

Forgive us Lord…

Strengthen now our feeble knees,
Burn our lips with cleansing coals,
We want to make Your kingdom proud,
Not many days to sow Your Seed.

Only when Christ is lifted High…

So many still need to ‘see’ The Seed,
Grace in action our strongest feed,
His Blood was shed – not to be trample on,
Only when He is lifted up will more men come…

… In truthful worship at His feet.

Alna@T 5.3.24

Scripture reading:

Joh 12:31-38
(31)  Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
(32)  And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”
(33)  This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
(34)  The people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
(35)  Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you.

Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

(36)  While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.
(37)  But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,
(38)  that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?”
