By Tim Taylor, May 24, 2020 - Tomorrow, in America, we celebrate Memorial Day.  It is a day we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom.  To learn more visit History.com's Memorial Day.  Its origin dates all the way back to the Civil War.  According to PBS over 303,000 were buried in national cemeteries.  One the major reasons for this war was to "set the captives free."  

As I contemplated this morning the Lord spoke to me about our, the Christian's, Memorial Day.  Did you know that heaven watches for your Memorial Day?  I'll explain but first let's celebrate this Memorial Day by remembering. 

1 Peter 2:17 says, "Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king."  It is right that we remember the sacrifices of those who defend our freedom.  I saw a meme a few years ago that said this.  "Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you.  Jesus Christ and the American fighting soldier.  One died for your soul and the other died for your freedom."  

So, to all of our veterans who've lost members of their unit who were like family, and to the families of all those who've lost loved ones we thank you for your sacrifice.  Many of us in this nation are still truly very grateful.  It is my sincerest prayer and hope that the generation that follows will correct the mis-steps of our nation in recent decades and once again return this nation to God so that it fulfills its role and uses its freedom and liberty to serve as a beacon of hope and that the Church in this nation would use their liberty to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Heaven Watches for Your Memorial Day

Tim Taylor April 14, 2020 - Guess what?  I am truly a blessed man. I believe my wife just provided an excellent example of the kind of actions that mark a Proverbs 31 woman.  This is one of the main reasons I'm blessed.

We pray early every morning.   As she consider the pandemic, the impact on peoples loss of jobs, the fear of illness and more her heart, or should I say God's heart for our neighbors weighed heavy upon her. She shared this concern with a neighbor whom we pray with several times a month.

She thought about the isolation, the fears, concerns and she just wanted to discover a way to share Christ's love with everyone.   She wanted to let them know that someone cares and was available to help or pray for them.   

Then she got a God idea for a Neighborhood Food Locker along with a creative way to share it with the neighborhood. 

This is how she did it! 

By Tim Taylor 2/9/2020 - I meet regularly with legislators, citizens and ministers who serve in our state's capitol. Recently some shared their eye witness reports of occutic activity being practiced in the halls of the capitol and noted the intersection between some legislation and sex trafficking. 

There was an emphasis on sex traffickers engaging the occult. Why?  It's because they want to hide their evil activities.  Think about it.  They seek to use the unbridled lust of some people and their power to exploit the young, the weak and the vulnerable so as to enslave a generation for profit.  It's about power and control motivated by selfish greed. 

This is an example of a spiritual war being waged in the family, government, healthcare, education, media and business mountains.  This spiritual war is also a cultural war.  

I'm happy to report that law makers have recognized this activity at its roots is a spiritual war.  If you want a modern example where the occult interacts with government then I'd just point you to this January 7, 2020 invitation to join "Witches Against Trump: Details on our 2020 Spell Casting Social Mixer."   I've witnessed meetings like this since 2017. Have you ever seen witches covens around the world band together in order to curse a president quarterly with a death curse?   Neither have I.  

Spiritual War in the Seven Mountains of Society
This should not come as a surprise as we see in Acts 13:8 that Elymas was a sorcerer who sought to influence a government official and to stop the gospel of the kingdom from being introduced to a whole region.  This illustrates a spiritual war that is being played out in both the "Religious" and the "Government" mountains of spheres of a society.  

It's not a new battle.  It's been going on since Revelation 12 where the angels of God expelled Satan and his fallen angels from heaven to earth.  These demonic forces have joined Satan to go and make war with the people on the earth who obey God's commands and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

At the core it is a war over truth.  The war occurs when lies are introduced contrary to the truth (Click for We've Entered the Valley of Decision).  The issue at hand are the souls of men and women and their eternal destiny in heaven or in hell.  This is serious.  Very serious don't you think? 

One of the reasons that evil people with evil agendas seek to use the occult is because they want to hide their activities in the dark.  They want to keep their secret agenda and tactics hidden.  If these are exposed they resort to using slander, lies, deceit ect... to keep their true goals hidden and the issues confused.  Satan loves confusion and confusion is one of the fruits of demonic activity.  This impacts all seven mountains of society.  For example:

By Tim Taylor:  In the last few days the coronavirus outbreak has made international headlines.  This morning I saw a prophetic word from Charlie Shamp delivered May 29, 2018.  Charlie is one of a number of prophets we've learned to watch and I'd like to say we saw this word in 2018 but we did not.  

I'd like to use this situation to illustrate what how we use prophetic words to empower the Church to pray through 1Church1Day (get your app through Itunes or Google Play).  I'll share the lessons first and then at the end I'll share Charlie's complete prophetic word.

First, prophets are a gift from God (Ephesians 4:11).  The scripture also reveals that, Amos 3:7, 
"Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."  Ezekiel 3 and 33 reveals that the watchman is likened unto the prophet and the watchman's job is to give the people they watch over warning.  2 Chronicles 20:20 also reveals that "...Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”  

Second, God speaks to other ministers and people as well but 1 Corinthians 13:9  teaches us that know one knows everything.   That is why we know in part and prophesy in part.  God made us to need each other.  That is why in the 1Church1Day app we provide a way for every person to report what they see and hear.  Secondly, we've formed councils and one of those councils is a prophet's council.  This includes prophetic intercessors and prophets who give words, watch other prophets like Charlie, and report what they see and hear.  

Third, we do 1 Corinthians 14:29 which says, let the prophets speak two or three and let the others judge. That's what we do with our councils.  We determine:

1. Is this the word of the Lord?  Yes or no?  
2. Does the character of the prophet line up with God's word?  Yes or no?
3. If it is the word of the Lord does it have a personal application, or is the word limited to a family, a people, a local church, a city, region, state or nation or beyond?  
4. Does time play a factor in the word and if so how? 
5. How should we respond to God's word?  
   1. Psalm 68:11 teaches us that when God gives us a word, He wants His people to proclaim it.  It is how His will is enforced on earth as it is in heaven.  So we determine what to proclaim.
   2. Is any other action required to respond to God's word besides prayer?  If so, what?  

What Did God Warn Us Of? 
I've observed Charlie for years and found many of his prophetic words have proven accurate.  This is just one more example and it contains some instruction from our Lord. 

We recently returned from Myanmar and shared the amazing history making testimonies that is being produced through the praying Church and Mount Horeb Prayer Center.  They had a vision for this prayer center for over 20 years.  It was not until I trained a minister who helped them employ ORT/1Church1Day that they were actually able to realize this vision.  It's now impacting the 7 mountains of culture right now at a local and even a national level and this article in Our Mission Report and Seeking Fruit that Abounds to Your Account explains what I mean. 

Kawl is the minister I've mentored like a son in the Lord.  We taught him to pray and obey and I began mentoring him in 2006.  After he'd help establish MT Horeb Prayer Center and taken 1Church1Day through Myanmar and even to the underground Church in Indonesia God spoke to him about the orphans.  

So in 2016 the Adonai Children's Rehabilitation was established.  The goal, reach out to the orphans and prepare the next generation to transform their nation. 

Here's some pictures and a video or two below from our visit just last month.  They are so precious but you can see, the all sleep in one room.  Boys and girls!  It's all they have and now, we have a few who are becoming teenagers. 

Join us January 17-18 in Elma Washington for a historic moment.  It's based upon the revelation in Lamentations 5:14-18 which reveals when Zion was desolate the elders stopped gathering in the gates.  

Last year leaders in our state adopted the 1Church1Day model to mobilize prayer even as I met with state leaders in Olympia at the beginning of our last legislative session.  These leaders asked for "the Church" to pray.

As of today we have 25 days each month in Washington State covered with 24/7 prayer.  The houses of prayer associated with the Northwest Prayer Gathering who is hosting this "Winter Burn" has played a big role along with other churches and ministries in building this canopy of continual prayer just like King David did on Mount Zion. 
​
Since continual prayer is being established over our state, so ought the elders to be sat back in the gates. Our goal, 24/7/365 prayer with the elders (leaders with actual jurisdiction) established back in the gates so they can consult with one another and to seek God for the wisdom needed to address the challenges of this day.  

So we are connecting civil leaders, with God's prophets, God's people and God's presence.  We'd love to see you join us to pray and lend your voice to the decree and our efforts to obey Isaiah 9:6-7. 

Join us Friday night January 17th to discover: 

• How there is a remnant arising and a people that's been pioneering the house of prayer in our state.
• The godly leaders we are going to pray for and send them in 2020 into all 7 spheres of society.
• How this strategy used by the Church in India and Myanmar recently made history as the Christian population doubled and Christians now occupy the highest political positions they've ever held in each respective nation.
• How leaders in our state, business, government, media, education, healthcare, the family and the Church are helping develop decrees which the Church can then proclaim.
• How we are leveraging the exponential power of agreement and how you can be involved in exponentially increasing that power. 
• How the house of God is actually the gate of heaven and much more.  

When, where and what else?  

Do you feel like life is getting the best of you?  Are you worn out, weary, tired, discouraged, have no joy or you've lost your motivation.  It seems like you have run out of gas.  Then your tank needs a fill up.  You need to get your tank full. 

Tank Less = Thankless
Mirriam Webster Dictionary says this about thankless.  "Not likely to obtain thanks: unappreciated."  It also means "not expressing or feeling gratitude; ungrateful." 

The Bible reveals in Proverbs 23:7 an amazing truth.  It says, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  So what you think, focus, meditate upon in your inner most being AFFECTS your world.  For as you think, so are you.

Thankless is connected to think-less.  You think less about all of the good things God has done for you and focus more upon things that ultimately rob and drain your love tank. Why do I focus on your "love tank?"  It's because Galatians 5:9 reveals that faith works by love.  The key to overcoming your challenges is your faith.  

Thankful is the Key to Getting Your Tank Filled Up!

ABC news was covering a story in which an off duty police officer entered the wrong apartment and then shot someone she thought was intruding in her apartment.  

It's a terrible situation and the jury just sentenced her.  The victims brother is clearly one whose life has been transformed by God's word.  

His response to the woman who killed his brother provides an excellent example of the power of forgiveness.  Here are some lessons learned that demonstrate the wisdom of forgiveness. 

Here's what I shared on our Facebook/KingdomLeague page.  

He says "the best thing you can do, is to give your life to Christ."

This is a beautiful example of forgiveness.  It's wise to! 

Why?

• Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
• Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

​
If you do not forgive, you set yourself up for a root of bitterness.

• Hebrews 12:15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
