I was ecstatic as I read the ChristianPost's report The good (Christian) news you didn’t hear from India yesterday. It began with the bad news which underscored the fact that India has become the 10th worst country for Christian persecution. The good news came out of Andrah Pradesh! It provides proof that 1Church1Day (One Church One Day) puts history in the hands of a connected praying church (many local congregations praying together).

In 2009 a young pastor found our website and connected with us. I began mentoring him and teaching him about how then Operation Rolling Thunder which became 1Church1Day in 2014 worked. He began to mobilize congregations with one church taking one day to pray 24/7. The last time we visited him in 2017 many of the pastors from the churches brought their watch list showing me the watches their people covered in their day of 24/7 prayer. Now, back to the article. Check this out!

Excerpt with underlines I added from The good (Christian) news you didn’t hear from India... "But there is good news from India as well. Really good news.First, the gospel continues to spread powerfully in that vast nation of more than 1.3 billion souls. As reported by Dr. Ralph Wilson, “the percentage of Christians has increased substantially from 2.5% a decade ago to about 5.8% today. That represents a huge increase in the growth rate. Something is happening!”
And in some states, the growth is much greater, with Christians representing as much as 10-15 percent of the total population.
This is truly unprecedented.
Second, this surge in Christian population was in evidence in the election results in the state of Andhra (that is, Andhra Pradesh, a state I have visited annually since 1993). End of excerpt.

The unprecedented growth began in 2009, the same year the 1Church1Day strategy began to be used to mobilize continual prayer in Andhra Pradesh. Now I am not claiming that these were the only churches praying. I know there were many more. But there are some something distinctive in the testimony that gets me really excited. It has to do with discipling nations and a focus on the 7 spheres or mountains of society.

Discipling Nations & the 7 Spheres

On April 13, 2019 Warring Dove International hosted me at a church in Fort Worth Texas. As I have witnessed throughout the years many times God marked the message I was giving with lightning and thunderstorms and even some tornadoes.  My assignment that day was to present the 1Church1Day strategy which was previously called Operation Rolling Thunder.  

It's a strategy that helps the Church in a network, local area or a region establish continual prayer, praise and worship which seats the courtroom of heaven. It is a modern application of the pattern that King David used in Mount Zion to establish 24/7 prayer so that the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, Counsel and Might would be invited into the presence of his councils.  

In Lamentations 5:14 and 18 we find that when Zion is desolate, the elders no longer gathered in the gates.  Besides re-establishing 24/7 the strategy includes a practical method for actually seating the elders back in the gates so to speak.  We use the 7 mountains or 7 spheres along with the five fold ministry as a starting place to do that.  In a sense, its a way to establish God's government on earth as it is in heaven.  

In Exodus 18 and 20 we find a type and a shadow of this. Here, Moses established order in the camp by choosing "men who fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and to place them as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifty, and rulers of tens."  Then he went up to Mount Sinai where God gave him the 10 Commandments.  Here, God's presence encountered Moses, the earth and the atmosphere.  We find lightning and thundering associated with God's presence and His voice.  We find these kinds of testimonies all
through scripture and I've found it still happens today.  

In my book, Operation Rolling Thunder - Revised Edition click here you'll find the history of the strategy now known as 1Church1Day.  Using King David's pattern which he established in the tabernacle on Mount Zion we establish 24/7 prayer, praise and worship.  Why?  It's because prayer, praise and worship are the atmosphere of heaven and it makes God welcome here on earth.  Psalm 18:6-14 was the scripture God used to help name this strategy Operation Rolling Thunder in 2004.  The sweet Psalmist of Israel, King David penned this Psalm saying,

Testimonies from the April 2019 "Answers to Prayer" newsletter from One Hope in Lane County Oregon. They adopted 1Church1Day (One Church One Day) over three years ago.  It began with a supernatural event click here like what is described in my book Operation Rolling Thunder - Revised Edition. As of today there are 44 churches and 10 councils of leaders cooperating together each month.  

We are much more powerful together than apart.

Government Sphere - Eugene City Manager Jon Ruiz attended a monthly One Hope Gathering to address the pastors. He listed the answers to prayer he sees from his perspective, and beseeched us to keep praying. Since the start of One Church - One Day, trust and collaboration have grown between Lane County and the City of Eugene. Ruiz shared that they are working together better than they have in decades.

Healthcare Sphere - First Responders praise God for the growing momentum.

Church Sphere - Testimonies include: 

• Atheist accepts Christ
• A family overcomes the spirit of anger through confession
• Older congregation prays for more kids and now there are 43! 

​

Last night we made history in Washington state as 3 legislators with the Washington Legislative Prayer Caucus,  over dinner at Daniel’s Prayer Ministry whose prayer is led by Elizabeth Sorenson adopted the 1Church1Day strategy for our state forming an apostolic/strategic council. 

The beauty of this is the decrees and alerts for this state will come directly from those who are on the front lines and have actual jurisdiction.  The 1Church1Day system provides a way, a common communication protocol if you will,  to connect diverse churches, ministries networks and individuals  so we can all pray about what’s going on in our state.  Just download the app. Click here for Android devices on Google Play and click here for Iphones and IOS devices on Apple Itunes. 

I shared with them the strategy last night using the video above to share the vision and I also highlighted the characteristics of a nation where Zion was desolate using Lamentations 5:14 & 18.  It says that when Zion was desolate, in other words, no coordinated 24/7 prayer like David had on MT Zion, that the elders no longer gathered in the gates. 

Last night that was changed.  The elders are being seated for civil government in the state gate.  I did what King David did 1 Chronicles 13:2-3, I presented the vision to leaders for bringing back God’s presence to our state and said  if this seems good and if it is of the Lord then let us send out to our brethren.  They said yes, and authorized me, sent us us to go and mobilize 24/7 I this state, my state, and I’ll be working to establish state councils in the other 6 spheres and the 5 fold in this state.  

1 Corinthians 15:44-46 introduce a spiritual truth.  First the natural and then the spiritual.  Daniel 6:27, Acts 2:19, and Hebrews 2:4 are just a few of the scriptures that teach us another important spiritual truth and that is that God uses signs and wonders to communicate.  

The signs consists of events that point to God's word and His will.  Here is a current example. 

On January 7, 2019 I shared the word of the Lord regarding God's desire for His people to recalibrate their moral compass.  Three days later God marked that message with a powerful sign that should make everyone wonder.  Fox News reported how that scientists were baffled by the geomagnetic northpole's movement which causes them to recalibrate all their instruments years earlier than expected.  To see the whole story click the Sign Scientists Just Discovered at the Northpole that points to our Moral Compass! 

God Just Gave Another Sign through His Prophet
What's the sign?  It's two things. 

It's a current event combined with consistent prophetic words that points to an element of God's word that reveals His will. In this case, a prophet had a dream on the 18th which is what prompted the bold title in this article.   

Consider These Words

How about the news?  It moves from crisis to crisis as major media competes for ratings, politicians compete for power, businesses compete for customers.... the list goes on.  Bottom line, they are all competing for your time and money as that translates to power, wealth, control and pleasure for those who capture it. 

The question is, what's your motive?  What is their motive?  How does a Christian determine what to pray and how to act?  How do you navigate this life so that you reach the destiny God planned for you so that you may hear these glorious words, "Well done you good and faithful servant.... enter in to the joy of the Lord. (Matt. 25:23)"

Moral Compass
The key is to filter every situation through the lens of scripture recognizing that our moral compass struggles with the the same thing a real compass struggles with.  It's called deviation. Deviation is introduced through the magnetic attraction from this world and it introduces error. We can correct for that error once the true is known.  

Each person't moral compass is impacted by the attraction of this world as well.  Deviation is determined by comparing a situation in this world with the truth and determining how far off it is.  Then we know how much correction must be introduced to ensure our moral compass is calibrated and points to the truth.  We do this by holding up a situation, an action or a motive and looking at it through the corrective lens of scripture.  

If we fail to correct deviation our moral compass will point us the wrong way. We will think we are doing the right thing, and going the right way but we'll be disappointed and frustrated.  We won't reach our goals.  We will end up in places we did not plan to go because our compass is in error. It's off. Not only will it impact this life but we may miss out on reaching our eternal home in heaven if we do not re-calibrate our moral compass with the Truth.  

It is important to remember that:

• In every sphere of society such as media/entertainment, government, business ect. that there is a war that is being waged.  It's heavenly battle that spilled from heaven to earth as Michael and his angels cast Satan and his demons out of heaven.  (Rev. 12:7-12)
• Revelation 12:17 reveals.... "he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
• The issue at hand are the souls of men and women and their eternal destiny in heaven or in hell. 
• The nature of God.  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  It is impossible for God to lie and God is love and demonstrated that through Jesus sacrifice on the cross.  (John 14:6, Heb 6:18, 1 John 4:8, Rom 5:8)
• Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.  He is the father of liars, murderers and deceivers.  (John 10:10 & John 8:40-45)
• A spiritual man or woman is called by God to judge all things (1 Cor. 2:15)
• We will recognize a false minister by their fruit/character (Matt 7:15-20, Gal. 5:19-23

With these things in mind we are prepared to look at the current situation in this world concerning the mid-term elections and the migrants from Central America and other countries heading towards US southern border?   Remember that:

• Media competes for ratings
• Politicians compete for power
• Businesses compete for customers
• etc.... and they are competing for your time, attention and money!

Does the Bible shed any light on how to respond to these situations? 

CNSNews reported how witches are gathering together to corporately put a hex on Justice Kavanaugh on October 20th. I'd like to submit to you two observations along with a Biblical way to address this threat.

First, could the battle lines be any clearer?  It began with the BBC News reporting in 2017 in "Witches cast mass spell on Trump." Now, they are turning their attention to Justice Kavanaugh.  The Democratic Left sought to use lies, false witnesses, deceit and slander to stop this justice from being confirmed.  If we consult Matthew 7:15-20, John 8:31-45 and John 10:10 it's easy to recognize these are characteristic of Satan's handiwork. 

Second, who are the witches siding with?  Clearly they stand with the Democratic socialist loving left.  I'm highlighting this in memory of a pastor friend of mine from Florida who recently went home to be with the Lord.  He described to me his conversation with a relative of his who insisted he could be a Christian and be a Democrat.  My friend highlighted how that the Democrat Party platform implemented and defended policies and laws on some moral positions that were in direct conflict with God's word (ie. abortion, marriage and sex verses gender identity).  

At the core Christian means Christlike.  Christ cannot go against the Word of God!  PERIOD!  Candidly, I was born into a family who were Democrats.  As I reached voting age I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. Little by little I began to learn about the ugly history of the Democrat Party (ie. slavery, Jim Crow, opposed women voting, proponents of abortion, & opposed traditional marriage) as well as the history of the Republican Party (ie. it was formed to free the slaves, gave blacks the right to vote, gave women the right to vote, opposed abortion, stood for traditional family...) I switched parties during the Reagan presidency primarily because the platform aligned with God's word on major moral issues which the Democrat Platform opposed.  Why?  

It was because of 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 which says, "Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences."

In the last decade I feel like the Republican Party leadership left me.  The platform on major moral issues reflects by values but the leadership in general had begun to say one thing but do another.  For example, many Republicans were voted in based upon their promise to overturn Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood.  They had another chance in August of 2018 but, The Hill Reports, "GOP too busy to be bothered with defunding Planned Parenthood."  That is an example of what I mean. Therefore, I've become an independent.

Why?  Because the question is not is God standing with the Democrats or with the Republicans.  The question should be, who is standing with God regarding each issue;  you, the Democrats or the Republicans?  Personally I want to stand with our Lord no matter what. 

Jesus said in Mark 3:23

I want to use this video from Prager University as an object lesson. The video shares one woman's journey from a progressive left leaning feminist who asked real questions. The truth led her to discover she actually believed something very different such that her friends began to call her a racist, mysogonist and sexist.

This video highlights a war of ideas that is currently being fought in the political arena. I'll use this example  to address two issues.

First, why is there so much hatred and anger?  

Second, I'll show you that this war is really an ancient battle that spilled from heaven to earth. It's not really a battle between Democrats and Republicans but rather, the issues are really war for truth.
