By Tim Taylor, July 17, 2020 - A fire broke out on the US Bonhomme Richard in San Diego.  According to some sources it appears fires were set in the bow and in the stern simultaneously.  (The New Arab reports: Iran commander claims US Navy warship fire is "insider arson." while Defense News reports: The Bonhomme Richard fire deals blow to Navy's designs for Indo-Pacific.)

Last night during "The Call to Pray for our Nation" I was impressed by the Lord that this is a prophetic sign.  You see, the Bonhomme Richard was named after the ship skippered by the founder of the American Navy, John Paul Jones.  He was made famous by his response in a battle off the British Isles in which the Bonhomme Richard took on the British frigate Serapis and a smaller vessel the Countess of Scarborough.  

In the first engagement the Bonhomme Richard was severely damaged.  Out gunned, sinking and at a grave disadvantage Jones heard the British captian yell, sir, do you wish to strike your colors?  That's the signal for surrender.  To which John Paul Jones famously replied, "sir, I have not yet begun to fight."  

Against all odds the bloody battled continued.  Three hours later, the Countess of Scarborough and the Serapis surrendered to John Paul Jones.  Jones had to transfer his flag to the Serapis as the Bonhomme Richard sunk the next day.  

In this video I'll desribe how this prophetically points to the remnant Church upon which America's destiny resides today.  Click here for Tim's revelation in this Youtube video.

by Tim Taylor, July 8, 2020: There is a precept in war that says you ought to know your enemy.  The principle of objective says it this way.  The objective must be clearly defined.  If it is not, casualties mount and defeat or stalemate is inevitable (see Developing Apostolic Strategy).  The real enemy manifesting through BLM has not been identified by most.  It is actually demons working through people.  In fact, that's part of the strategy of their founders. 

Consider this report by Religion News Service from June 15, 2020 in Black Lives Matter is "a spiritual movement," says co-founder Patrisse Cullors.  The article says and note, I've added my own underlines; 

Excerpt 1:  Abdullah and Cullors touched on the practice of calling out the names of the victims that they advocate for in protests and demonstrations. It's kind of a way to invoke their spirits, Abdullah said.
Uplifting the names of victims goes beyond creating hashtags, Cullors said.
“It is literally almost resurrecting a spirit so they can work through us to get the work that we need to get done,” she said.
By highlighting their names, Cullors said she feels "personally connected and responsible and accountable to them, both from a deeply political place but also from a deeply spiritual place.”
Cullors touched on West African traditions that center on remembering ancestors.

Excerpt 2: 

As part of the ritual, people recited the names of "those taken by state violence before their time — ancestors now being called back to animate their own justice," Farrag wrote.
After each name, Abdullah poured libations on the ground as the group in return chanted "Asé." The Yoruba term is "often used by practitioners of Ifa, a faith and divination system that originated in West Africa," Farrag wrote.
Abdullah on Saturday said it took her almost a year before she realized Black Lives Matter was much more than a racial and social justice movement.
"At its core, it's a spiritual movement," she said.
Cullors said it became clear to her they needed "spiritual protection" ...

Bottomline, this practice invites demons to work through people in the Black Lives Matter organization.  That in and of itself should make things abundantly clear who the real enemy is.  by Tim Taylor, July 6, 2020: 

If you ever want a clear sign as to where Satan, the Devil, whose name in Greek, diablos, litterally means slander and false accuser, the one whom John 10:10 says comes to kill, steal and destroy, the same one whom John 8:44 reveals is the father of lies, stands on an issue, then look to those who practice witchcraft.   You can discern what God is up to and what Satan's goal is by watching what they curse or hex.  Understand that lying, cursing, slander and false accusation is his modus operandi.  It's just the way it works.   

What else do we learn from scripture?  Lawlessness and or the creation of unrighteous laws is a work of Satan (2 Thess 2:7) and Jesus wants no part of those who practice lawlessness (Matt. 7:23).  1 Samuel 15:23 reveals that:

"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...."  

You'll also find that witchcraft was practiced by those who sacrificed and murdered innocent children in 2 Chronicles 33:6.  In fact, you will find 12 scriptures that clearly indicate that those who practice witchcraft or sorcery are evil.  

So, whenever I look at an issue and witches get involved, it becomes blatantly obvious what Satan's goal is.  For example, witches agree with abortion which is blatantly contrary to God's word.  

Today, on June 5th witches around the world are using this supermoon to coordinate their efforts to curse President Trump and this nation.  If you want to understand Satan's goal and what God's solution is, watch what they curse. 

This is a call for all of God's holy apostles and prophets, the real gatekeepers to get to your post and proclaim God's word.  This is a call for the remnant Church to arise and stand in the gap and intercede.  We are not ignorant of the enemy's devices nor are we complacent.  Check out the alerts we sent out over the last two days through the 1Church1Day app for the full picture.  Here is a glimpse.  I urge you, pray. 

Alert!  Maria Brink's Call to Stand with Witches on June 5th's Super Moon Serves is a Sign! 

By Tim Taylor, May 21, 2020 - As I was praying and contemplating this pandemic and considering the fear that has gripped most of the Church I heard, 1 Samuel 17:26...For who is this uncircumcised Philistine....  That's what David said of Goliath who's threats had paralyzed all of Israel with fear. 

Immediately, I heard it not as a question but rather a statement.  WHO, is this uncircumcised Philistine!

W.H.O. the World Health Organization's role in this current pandemic came to mind. At the start, they became the voice of this pandemic. There are people who are using WHO just like the Philistines used Goliath to incite fear so they could control Israel.  This virus is an instrument of fear being used just like the descendent of the Nephilim, Goliath, was being used by the Philistine government.  It's about using fear to control a population.

But this situation turned out to be the very scenario which set the stage for the real king to come forth.  The one who had the heart of our heavenly Father and whose heart God had.  I think the stage has been set for a people to emerge who carry the heart of the Father just like King David did.  We are about to see the army of the Lord emerge in great power.  It reminds of Joel 2:2-3 which says: 

A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;

That fire is the love of God.  It's the fire that purfies the hearts of men and sanctifies their motives.  It's like the fire that fell on Pentecost in Acts 2.  There is a people coming forth like whom the world has never seen.  

I learned in the Navy War College why armies exist.  They exist to project power to enforce the will of the government they represent.  Jesus taught us to pray, Lord, let your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This army, the Lord' army will burn with a passion for His presence and will be captured by God's love for the lost. 

The enemy of our souls, Satan, has captured the minds of many through a false governmental philosophy which has sought to use this giant pandemic to advance their cause through the use of hyper-fear. Ultimately, their goal is control. They can only fulfill that desire if God's people are either destroyed or paralyzed with fear just like the nation of Israel was when Goliath stood unopposed by a David. 

Lord, where is the Davidic Generation? 
How should we respond?  I submit just like David did.  He starts with question in 1 Samuel 17:26, "Is there not a cause?"  David was referring to the word, the history of what God had spoken.  He took the word and then he acted by meeting the threat head on with the word, his words, saying "your servant has killed both the lion and this bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God."  David went on to describe how God would deliver him.  Then David put his faith into action and ran and met the threat. 

Dealing with this threat requires the truth be proclaimed followed by actions based on the love of God and informed by His wisdom.  David sets the example illustrating that defeating the Goliath of his day began by proclaiming the truth.  So that is where we will start. 

By Tim Taylor, March 5, 2020 -  40+ MILLION souls have been impacted.  I'm going to share with you the effect of God's abiding presence on the harvest by looking at two ministers in two different nations who have see similar results.  It's my sincerest hope and desire that other ministers would choose to adopt the 1Church1Day strategy which is a modern application of an ancient blue print first modeled by King David on Mount Zion. 

Andrew Murray was a missionary who served in South Africa and transformed the Dutch Reformed Church and was a forerunner in the Pentacostal movement. He wrote a powerful book called "With Christ in the Ministry of Prayer."  His passion for God's presence impactred many. 

Andrew said, "the man who mobilizes the Church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelism in history."

Recently we've seen reports from India and Myanmar that illustrate how the catalytic strategy based upon the restoration of David's tabernacle has modeled by our departed Andrew Murray said.  The results are amazing and still going on.

Now, I know there are many other churches and ministries praying.  But, what highlights both of these nations was the impact it was having on not only salvations but also in the government mountain.  Both nations made history has a Christian was installed either at a state or vicepresident level and these were areas that were specifically targeted in prayer.  The articles linked below share more of those details. It's a testimony I shared this past Sunday in Oregon.

As I ministered at New Life in Milwaukie Oregon this past weekend, Pastor Ed challenged me to get a calculator out and figure out how many people were actually impacted. I'm humbled and amazed to see the vision and expecation we had actually manifesting.  I'm going to share about two different nations where ministers chose to use the same strategy and produced similar results. 

• Since 1Church1Day was introduced in India they've seen the Christian population grow from 2.5% to 5.8%.  In the source article it notes that some places, like Andhra Pradesh are leading the way.  This is the state whom a young minister I mentored has used 1Church1Day to establish the India Prayer League.  They have 45 churches today using the 1Church1Day strategy which is just a modern appliation of the strategy King David used in his tabernacle.  This 3.3% growth in the last 10 years translates to more than 39,600,000!  That's more than thirty nine MILLION souls.  That's huge and an example of Andrew Murray's quote.   Click here for the source article.
•  In Myanmar where I've mentored Dr. Kawl since 2006 they used the strategy to launch MT Horeb Prayer Center with seven denominations cooperating together.  They to have seen similar results.  The Christian population has grown from 4% to 6% of the population.  In a nation of 54 million that equates to 1,080,000.  Praise God!  Isn't that awesome.   Click here for the source article. 

What's the common thread?  Ministers and churches using a strategy inspired by King David.  See what the scriptures say. 

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. 

Over the years I've discovered several keys to building our Father's house of prayer.  But today I am going to share a key that I've never seen addressed.  It has to do with the role of the kings and priests.  It's based upon a pattern King David first modeled.  It's the blue print for our strategy.  By 2012 leaders from over 38 nations had reported it had been responsible for establishing 31 houses of prayer from which 40+ churches were birthed.  However, there have been hundreds if not thousands of places  un-impacted because the did not follow the pattern. 

I'm going to share it today and risk offending you because I love my heavenly Father, I love His Church, His people, and the world. David's pattern is the key to the end time harvest of souls.  So with that in mind...

Every reformer in scripture followed King David's plan for inviting God's abiding presence on MT Zion.  What King David did on Zion in his tabernacle provides us the keys.  It is the pattern and that is why God says through Acts 15:16-17 that in the latter days David's tabernacle would be restored.  What is the purpose?  So that the rest of mankind can seek the Lord.   

Who are some of the reformers?  Solomon, Asa, Josiah, Ezra, Nehemiah and Hezekiah!  What is the pattern?  

Kings Initiated the Building of God's House!
The pattern begins with kings, not priests, who initiate building the house of God.  King David's first decision as king was to invite God's abiding presence through 24/7 prayer, praise and worship (1 Chronicles 13:1-2).  That decision included the king inviting other leaders to join him. The priests were charged with overseeing the building of this house of prayer and the kings and leaders gave first to this effort.  In other words, they put their money where their mouth was. There was action behind their words that God and men could see.

In 2 Samuel 6 we find his David's first attempt failed as they began with music and moving the Ark of the Covenant (type of God's presence) on a new cart.  Uzzah died when he touched the ark so the move of God had to stop.  It spent 3 months in Obededum's house before David discovered the proper way.  

David discovered that the ark had to be carried on the shoulders of the Levites which are a type of the fivefold ministry today (this topic is addressed in "Addressing the Issue of Pay to Pray).  The next key was modeled in 2 Samuel 6:13. They took six paces and then sacrificed offerings. 

Offerings are worship and one of the important signs of covenant to God from man.  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  The passion for God's presence will be reflected in your giving of time and your monies.  These actions reflect what is really in your heart.  Jesus says in John 15:13 that greater love has no one than this, than to lay his life down for his friends.  Then Jesus proceeded to the cross.  He love and He gave.  Bottom line, love gives their life and this includes time and money. 

Someone shared with me about a ministry concept that involved a team of ministers who would offer a "courts of heaven session" which I assume meant they'd interceded upon someone's behalf and utilize their gifts to hear what God's decision was and then then pray, declare or proclaim in response to that to the word of the Lord.  This kind of ministry has actually been offered for centuries through those with a prophetic gift.  Only in the last two decades has intercession begun to be explained from a courts of heaven perspective.  I believe it is part of the manifold wisdom of God being revealed in this day.  It's a new look at an old discipline from a different perspective.

Candidly, I distinctly remember God speaking to me about this concept in the early 2000s and the ORT/1Church1Day prayer strategy incorporates that revelation. In the strategy continual prayer, praise and worship seats the courtroom of heaven so you can come and plead your case and await to hear God's decision.  Now, back to the purpose of this article.

As I recall, they said something to the effect that there was a fee and that it just did not seem right to them.  They were uncomfortable with it as it seemed like they were charging for prayer.  It seemed like "pay to pray."  

When they asked me about it I had to qualify my answer because I did not have time to address this subject and cover all the bases.  You see, I was hearing things second hand and I did not have all of the information.  I did not know the motive of the ministers nor how things were actually being handled.  But I can tell you the way it was presented did not sound good to me either. 

It caused me to remember prosperity ministers who would use manipulation and violate trust in order to get more for themselves kind of like Eli's sons did in 1 Samuel 2:38-30.  Eli's sons took the very best for themselves.  Their greed defiled the altar.  Greed is typically accompanied by compromise and manipulation.  Why Paul even warns in 1 Timothy 6:5 that in the last days corrupt men would seek to use godliness as a means of gain.  But let me be clear, I do not know if that was the motive of the ministers offering the service.  It was the statement of "pay to pray" that inspired that the thought.  (Click here for Purifying the Altar.  This book impacted my thoughts about the minister's responsibilities years ago.)

The Bible is also clear that the the giver has responsibilities as well.  It is possible for the worshiper to have wrong motives and which is manifested when they try to use their offering to manipulate God or the ministry.  It's one thing to appeal to God's covenant exercising your faith but it is quite another to resort to a formula devoid of relationship with God.  This often descends into a form of witchcraft if left unchecked over time.  Galatians 5:9 teaches us that faith works by love while James 2:20 teaches us that faith without works is dead.  

Why we had a donor just weeks ago attempt to do that very thing.  They thought the could use their large offering they gave months before as leverage to manipulate our ministry into compromise.  Here's the truth.  

Do you know what KLI did?  Why we gave the offering back with a stern warning to never ever do that again. It was a  defiled offering which could lead to a defiled altar had we allowed it to lead us to compromise. 

The reason I am focusing on offerings and worship is because I have found this to be one of the consistent keys to answered prayer.  It has to do with honor and covenant.  You see, God is seeking those who will worship Him "in spirit and in truth."  

The Goal is to Hit the Mark!
Our adversary the devil seeks to make people sin.  People includes the ministers who are responsible for the altar and everyone else. Satan seeks weaknesses to exploit.  Sin literally means to miss the mark.  I don't care if you go to far to the right, or to far to the left, or to low or to high these all miss the mark.  The goal is to hit the bullseye.  

Personally, I like to use the term "hit the mark."  God's word is my standard and defines the mark.  In my worldview, the Creator of the Universe designed all natural and spiritual laws.  The Bible is like the manufacturer's warranty and owner operators manual.  It describes how things work and what will happen if I operate life within the parameters of the Creator's design and what the consequences are of operating outside of designed parameters.  

Candidly, I have found that tithes, offerings, first-fruits and alms speak to the four basic types of giving in the Bible.  These are signs of a people keeping covenant with God.  With each form of giving you will find God gives the worshiper a covenant promise to go with it.   The reason I share this is because I've discovered that when handled rightly, these are some of the important keys to answered prayer which I've observed over the last twenty seven years in ministry.

Here are the challenges we face: imperfect people, ignorance, mis-understandings, demonic influence.... and the list goes on.  Our goal is to hit the mark.  

I saw this post by the Oak Initiative regarding a 2017 report provided by CBS News.  The facts presented in "Islamists extremism caused 84,000 deaths worldwide in 2017," provide facts which help frame the term "Islamophobia" and its use in their cultural jihad!  These facts provide context to introduce radical Islam's war on your mind. 

Islamaphobia was a word created around 1995. It's a word meant to shame the hearers into not taking action or ignoring actions like are described in this report.  Tell me, can you point to any other religion in the world today who is committing such violence against innocents and soft targets like women (acid attacks), children (child marriage starting at 9), or restaurants or schools (bombers)? 

Fear is actually part of God’s design.  The Bible teaches us there is such a thing as a healthy fear, like the scriptures that admonish us to fear (reverence, respect and honor) God.  God's word also warns us against unhealthy or excessive fear to.  God's antidote for excessive fear is found in 1 John 4:18.  It's perfect or mature love which casts out all fear.  

Phobia's Role & Islamaphobia's Goal

Phobia refers to an unhealthy fear that goes way beyond a healthy boundary. Islamaphobia is a word made up around 1995. It's goal was to assist Islamic operatives with their cultural jihad.  Don't forget that Jihad refers to their "holy war" and Islam means "surrender."  The practitioners of radical Islam it is said make up close to 20% worldwide.  Pew Research says that there are about 1.8 billion Muslim's world wide.  Twenty percent, hey, even ten percent, provide a clear and present danger which is reinforced by the CBS article.  

The word Islamophobia is used by organizations like CAIR (click Council on American Islamic Relations) in their efforts to work in a nation as a minority so as to protect their efforts and goals of setting up Sharia Law.  If you want to understand their goal just look to Europe.  

Shame and the War on Your Mind
Islamophobia is a word meant to illicit shame and sympathy by painting the Muslims as victims.  To be clear, many Muslims are victims of radical Islam to.  But this word was not made for them.  The word was made to be used in the West.  You can see how the term was used in Europe in conjunction with immigration so as to create majorities in certain areas were Sharia could then be instituted.  

The term is meant to be used to distract you from facts.  It's meant to dull the mind or hide the threat in plain sight through the use of shame and even create allies through sympathy.  

It's amazing what God's people can accomplish when we collaborate together.  In the last 36 days we saw those using the 1Church1Day app mobilize: 

• 1000 hours of prayer
• 3 Churches/Ministries taking a day of prayer
• 108 new people
• 6 Churches/Ministries 

To cover one month in prayer requires 744 hours.  Each person who simply reported the time they prayed using the app says we mobilized the equivalent of 41.66 days of prayer.  Add in the 3 from the churches and ministries who took a day of prayer and that raises it to 44.66 days of prayer.  But then If we add in the corporate prayer calls or prayer gatherings which included ministries like Washington State Prayer Caucus, Prayer Strike Force, Church of Truth, the WA ST Business Council, Father's House, The King's Fisher we add in another 153 hours.  This brings our total days of prayer to 51 days of prayer.  

That's a lot of power and it only comes when we the Church cooperate, collaborate and communicate together.  Now this is just a SMALL FRACTION of what is available.  If you understand the principle of exponential power found in God's word then you will understand just how important your prayer watch, or adding your voice to a prayer alert is.  Click here for the Revelation of the Power of One More!

Prayer Power + Honoring Jurisdictions = Results 
That's a lot of "prayer power."  We saw 9 new testimonies or answers to prayer recorded during this same time period as well.  We pray for results and the strategic councils we are forming (Church, Government, Business, Family, Life and Evangelism so far) help direct our prayers with insight gleaned from leaders within that sphere with actual jurisdiction.

Isaiah 2:2-3 says:
