People have been coming out of the wood work to send me Lance's rant, "Trump Delivers a Prophetic Warning to Christian Leaders."   On one hand it is very encouraging but on the other, frustrating.  What he is saying is right. In fact, that's why we host "A Call to Pray for our Nation" on Thursday nights.   

What is frustrating is working on the very thing he is calling for to facilitate a "coherent mechanism for communicating messages" but so few who know us actually use what we built.  This SCREAMS 1Church1Day!  It frustrates me because the Church is having to react now.   We could have been in such a much better position to respond to President Trumps warning had more been proactive and adopted our strategy and system earlier.  But it is not to late!  In fact, it can be just in time. 

God showed this day to me in 1988 and in 1991.  Then it was reinforced in 2009 when Dr. Peter Wagner invited me to meet with a small group of US based apostolic leaders to discuss how to connect leaders in the 7 mountains with intercessors.   Here's an excerpt of what Lance said: 

A valley is a low point created by and in between hills and mountains. In Christendom today the concept of the 7 mountains of society has been presented for the last 30+ years.

When issues arise in society we often find these issues in the valleys.  They are low points in our society. 

The low points provide an opportunity for people to make decisions.  Judgments if you will. 

These decisions reveal how they view God's word and truth.  Jesus teaches us  that we will give an account for every "idle word" (Matthew 12:36) we speak.  Each of us will stand before our Lord to give an account of how we stewarded our life on this earth at the judgment seat of Christ.

Today there are a lot of low points.  One occurred yesterday. The Republican's during the last election had run on a promise to defund Planned Parenthood (Murderhood).  Yet, when Senator Rand Paul presented his bill to do that, they voted "no," again.  They missed another opportunity to keep their campaign promise. This decision reveals the priorities of their heart as there are some things more important to them than the "shedding of innocent blood" and keeping their word.  That just created a valley of decision between the government, family and religious mountains.  Click for The Hill's report on the  Senate rejects Paul's effort to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding. 

Truly, it is a low point, A VERY LOW POINT! It is a "valley of decision" that reveals what's really in their heart and what they think about God and truth. 

This situation was created in large part because God choose to play His "Trump" card in this last election. The life of the unborn was one of the major issues brought to the forefront during the election. God chose a vessel who would create many opportunities to reveal the hearts of men.  

This is not the first time God has done this in history.  In fact, it's a theme that's been played over and over.  For example Jesus describes in Luke 7 how the Pharisees and the lawyers (religious & political spheres) failed to recognize the people God sent to represent His heavenly agenda. 

The pattern is being repeated today and how we respond to each situation reveals the judgments we've made in our hearts towards God and His Truth.  Jesus said in Luke 7:33...

God has been speaking to me about the "burning issues" in California of which I've called the body of Christ to pray through the 1Church1Day app and Facebook.   

This is why I was shocked by what I heard last week. 

I heard the Fox News reporter share about the "Holy Fire" south and east of Los Angeles which threatened a communication center and could be a threat to the city.  

I was shocked because through Operation Rolling Thunder and my experience with 1Church1Day I've learned about God's sign language.   God is speaking LOUD and CLEAR!  

HOLY FIRE! It's a sign that should make you wonder/marvel and hopefully repent!  It's outside Los Angeles!  Los Angeles literally means the angels.  That's why people call is the City of Angels.  

Now let me tell you what I see and hear.  God is sending a holy fire to His Church to prepare a holy dwelling place from which to send His holy messengers with His gospel of the kingdom.  Consider the following scriptures. 

Isaiah 4:3-6 speaks of how God intends to visit Zion, that's the place of continual prayer, praise and worship with a spirit of judgment and burning.  Why?  To purify His people and then to be a place of refuge and shelter.  

In Isaiah 6:1-8 we find Isaiah sees the Lord in heaven and God sends a seraphim who takes a coal from the altar and touches it to Isaiah's lips.  The touch takes away his iniquity and purges his sin.  Then Isaiah hears God's voice saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?  

What does the sign language mean? 

Because of God's touch, Isaiah was prepared to respond with, "here am I, send me."  

The seraphim is a heavenly being which means "fiery."  Took the coal from the altar and touched Isaiah's lips. Why?  Because the messenger's speech must be sanctified and set apart only for the Master's use.  

God speaks through types and shadows!

If not now, then when and if not you, then who?  

I don't need to tell you that:

• The time of our Lord's return draws near
• The Church is not prepared
• It's time for the army of God to arise and to become a voice to release God's word and His will on earth as it is in heaven

There is a heavenly war that spilled from heaven to earth in Revelation 12!  That's who is behind the lawlessness, rhetoric, lies and destruction. 

When:  Thursdays  -  7pm to 8pm Pacific Time  or whenever Holy Spirit ends it.
