As I waited upon the Lord I heard "the power of one."  He showed me why you, your prayer and your voice matters. I discovered the supernatural equation for exponential power.  Trust me, numbers matter especially when the exponential power of Holy Spirit comes upon those numbers.   

Here is how the revelation unfolded.  As I meditated upon this phrase the Lord reminded me of:

John 17:20-22
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

Luke 3:16
John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Luke 24:49
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Acts 2:1-4
​ When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

1 John 5:7-8
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

Here's the Revelation of "The Power of One" 

I saw a post on Lance Wallnau's Facebook this morning highlighting this Brietbart article Report: Chicago Police Believe Jussie Smollett Paid Two Men to Stage Attack. Immediately God began to speak to me using this situation as an example to expose the secret strategy of our adversary the devil.

This is spiritual intelligence for the Government, Media, Education and Religious spheres and intel regarding the culture war. Now remember, when I say culture war I am referring to the spiritual war in Revelation 12 which spilled from heaven to earth.
​
Soon, I’m going to address another holy grail and favorite saying by challenging you to focus on the Ephesians 6:11-12 which says:

"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

How will I challenge you? I’ll challenge you by looking at this scripture in context of the book, the New Testament and then Old Testament scriptures just like I’ve been challenging the favorite quote from Matthew 7:1 that even unbelievers seem to know about “you shall note judge.”

The cry racism has become the go to strategy on the Democrat Socialist Left because they’ve found success in using guilt and shame for the past. It’s been as effective or more effective than the go to scripture that even unbelievers seem to know so well and works hand in hand: “THOU SHALT NOT JUDGE!” it seems like their actions declare they really only want this applied to themselves. Candidly, the “Me Too ” movement, LGBT etc. basically uses the same strategy with a different subject. It’s like the unholy trinity in their strategic verbal arsenal.

At the core of this strategy is the intent to use partial truths, guilt and shame to manipulate behavior. This is done by stirring up emotions with a false narrative which distracts from the truth and advances a demonic agenda.

Do you know who is tripped up by this an ensnared? Immature disciples, those who have not “studied to show themselves approved,” those who are ignorant of God's word and those who fear because they've not come to know the perfect love of God which casts out all fear.

Please hear me, I’m not saying this with a superior attitude, but rather with a tone of discovery. If you will, one beggar trying show another beggar where the bread is.

And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

Even Satan knows God's word and can quote it accurately. For example in Matthew 4:5-7 we see, "Then the devil took Him up to the holy city, set Him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to Him, "If you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him, "It is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

John 8:44 and John 10:10 reveal Satan's nature and modus operandi. It's the fruit of demonic operations. He is the father of lies, a deceiver, a murderer and he kills, steals and destroys.

Now, I want to emphasize the tone with which you read this article. It is not condemning, angry, belligerent, etc. Rather, it is calm, truthful and spoken with a backbone instilled with the love of God and under girded by the Truth of God's word.

The Democrat Party's Platform is anything but the Lord's work. In fact, this platform serves as the host to several "doctrines of demons." If you call yourself a Christian and you are still part of this party, you have serious problem for what Pelosi just said is the epitome of Satan's nature and Isaiah 5:20 which says "woe to those who call evil good and good evil;"

Are You Out of Your Mind? Doctrines of Demons?
​No, I'm not out of my mind. In fact, I'm in my right mind doing what agape' love is supposed to do as it says in Ephesians 4:16 which is to "speak the truth in love." Here's two examples.

When one accepts Christ they are born again.  They are introduced to the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world.  A new born baby is cared for and loved by parents who heap affection on their child.  They take care of EVERYTHING!  They even act like their poop is cute!  OK, maybe not to everyone, certainly not to me, but I've heard some ladies say something to that effect in years past.  Bottom line, there is a huge amount of mercy and grace demonstrated due to the child's inability to care for itself. 

But as the child matures the method of instruction changes. For example, have you ever noticed you don't have to teach children how to lie?  Love administers correction, pain, to teach them there are consequences for lying, not obeying their parents instruction, being disrespectful of elders etc. (Proverbs 22:15, 23:13 & 29:15). 

As I matured into my teenage years I played football. You can get hurt if you are not careful.  Therefore, the method, content and expectations the coaches put upon us also increased. Their love for us and the game was expressed through drills and disciplines that were forms of tough love.  The more you bled and sweated in practice the more likely you'd play safe and win.  I learned you were more likely to get hurt when you only played at half speed.   

I Learned Tough Love in the Navy
When I joined the Navy, the stakes got even higher.  In fact, we operated in an environment sometimes where  even in peace time where there was a higher risk of injury and death.   Therefore the officers and drill instructors involved in my training confronted even the smallest infractions.  Why?  Because of the consequences. 

I'll never forget Master Sergeant Flagger marching into my first day of Aviation Officer Candidate School and throwing a desk through the wall to get our attention.  Why?  Because two of his men had been killed trying to rescue a pilot and he was going to make sure that if anyone else died they'd be worth it.  My class started with 42 and only 15 of us made it through.  His method was designed to create an experience we'd never forget!  His motive?  Love of the brotherhood, love for the Corps, love for His country.  You see, he lived, they lived, we lived what Jesus taught about "greater love has no one than this, than to lay one's life down for his friends."  John 15:3   

​The problem we have today is that a significant portion of the Church majors on the love that is displayed through the Lamb of God to children.  They'll never mature unless a father's love is demonstrated through progressive correction (Hebrews 12:6).  What do I mean by progressive correction/instruction.  I mean as responsibility grows the consequences for failure to perform increases. 

Growth is of a child is assured if they are fed.  Maturity is assured if they are trained. 

God used the Navy as my seminary.  I saw many Biblical truths and principles actually applied there than I ever did in the local churches which focused primarily on meeting people's needs.  The military prioritized their country and assigned mission first.  The people, which are considered very important, were prioritized second.  It reminds me of what Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 about seeking the kingdom first and then all your needs would be taken care of. 

The Spiritual War is a Culture War ​
Bottom line, you cannot prepare the army of God using the same kinds of disciplines you would use with a little child.  The truth is, we were born into a spiritual war that spilled from heaven to earth in Revelation 12 and the issue at hand are the souls of men and women and their eternal destiny in heaven or in hell.  

We love the scripture in Psalm 2:6-9 that prophesies of Jesus who will sit on Zion and rule over the nations with a rod of iron.  If I've heard prophetic intercessors, prophets or ministers proclaim it once, I've heard it thousands of times. 

But what is it?  I mean, the revelation is powerful! But is there a practical way for us to put our faith in action today and bring this into reality?  If you understand what the word translated "rod" in the Hebrew is and you let the Bible interpret the Bible you can.  

What is it
So what's the rod of God?  It's God's people proclaiming a timely word from our Lord.  

So what is the Hebrew word translated rod and what does it mean?  It's the Hebrew word sebet (Strongs h7626) and it means to branch off; a stick (for punishing, writing, fighting, ruling, walking, etc.) or a clan:  a rod, sceptre, staff, or tribe.

In fact, this Hebrew word (h7626) is only translated 'rod' 34 times in the Bible where as it is translated 'tribe' more than 140 times.  It is 7x more frequently translated people and I could easily swap 'rod' for 'tribe."  Then Psalm 2:-9 would read;

“I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a TRIBE of iron..."

The scripture also says; 

The other day we were driving to the store listening to Christian radio.  It was one me, me, me song followed by another me, me, me song, followed by another..... until finally I heard one song that glorified our Lord and worshiped Him. The focus was all on Him. 

Then I noticed I had an "aition" stirring in me.    I'm not quite sure if it was frustr-aition, irrit-aition, or inspir-aition or a combination of all three. But it is my hope to plant an aspir-aition in your heart by the end of this.  

There is a trend among Christian artists whose songs are played on Christian radio and also in many churches. Its seems like the lyrics and focus of the song is me, me, me, me.... Help me, bless me, heal me, save me, prosper me..... me, me, me, me!  You know, almost everything we do today in a modern worship service is focused on blessing the people. Helps, healing, teaching are all good and necessary. God loves and cares about ME and every other "me" that is out there.

I hope you don’t misunderstand, but the worship service, where we sing, lift our hands, praise Him and worship by bowing down, kneeling or giving tithes and offerings is the only part of the service focused on Him. We give Him so little when He is worthy of so much.  He is worthy of all praise, all thanks, all glory and all honor. 

Personally, I love the songs that focus on Him. I want to hear Him, Him, Him, Him, in modern day hymns!  Did you catch the word play?  Or I want to hear the song focus on His word so that as we sing we are proclaiming His truth; His word! 

Scripture says:

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

From KLI's monthly newsletter!  Click here to become a partner.
​You know, the Greek word that Jesus borrowed from Greek culture for the Church is “ekklessia.”  He first introduced it in Matthew 16:18 saying ….”I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” 
 
The church has a government established by Jesus Christ.  In fact, the origin of ekklessia sheds light on this and it’s purpose.  Prior to Jesus choosing to use this term it was used by the Greeks.  According to Wikipedia, it was actually the principal assembly of democracy in Athens.  It was open to all who qualified for citizenship and was responsible for declaring war, military strategy and electing government officials.  
 
So, the historical purpose of the term translated “church” was to:

• Govern which requires making decisions
• Declare war and develop strategy

 
When you understand this and combine that with another word that Jesus borrowed from the Greek/Phoenician seafaring community, apostolos.  Then you will understand the church’s call to spiritual war and some of the reactions in Jesus day. You see they understood EXACTLY what those words meant in their culture.
 
Apostolos first referred to the leader of a convoy, later the commander of an invasion force and finally it referred to the role of an ambassador general.  It was like Pontus Pilate was the ambassador general sent to represent Rome in Jerusalem.  Jesus basically called his 12 disciples ambassadors, admirals and or generals.  They were messengers sent to represent God’s government on earth as it is in heaven.
 
Why?  Revelation 12 provides context. It describes the spiritual war in heaven which spilled on to earth.  It says Satan went to make war with the remnant of God’s seed and those who obey Him and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
 
Armies Exist to Project Power on Behalf of Their Government
That is what the Navy War College taught me.  Ephesians 3:10 says, “to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places…,” Principalities and powers refers to demonic governmental offices.
 
So how does the Lord project power today?  

I heard in the spirit "check your fire, check your fire."  "Check your fire" is a command typically used by artillerymen which means "STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY."  The term "fire" immediately reminded me James 3:6 which says, "And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.​"

Translation, God is saying "watch your mouth" because many Christian's are actually becoming accessories to murder; spiritual murder. 

How?  By participating in a "fire mission" launched by the Devil! Devil comes from the Greek word diablos and means false accuser or slanderer.  Today, many Christians are slipping up and becoming part of the character assassination fire missions initiated by our adversary.  In doing so you become an accessory to a spiritual crime. 

What Does Accessory Mean?
Wikipedia says accessory is a legal term for "a person who assists in the commission of a crime, but who does not actually participate in the commission of the crime as a joint principal. The principal is the one whose acts or omissions, accompanied by the relevant mens rea (Latin for "guilty mind"), are the most immediate cause of the actus reus (Latin for "guilty act")."....  The test to distinguish a joint principal from an accessory is whether the defendant independently contributed to causing the actus reus rather than merely giving generalized and/or limited help and encouragement."

So an accessory is someone who gives generalized or limited help and encouragement.

​You may not be the originator, the instigator, nor the deceiver who developed the lie but when we join in by repeating that lie, we become an accessory to murder.  We either kill the truth or we participate in the fire mission intent on the character assassination of another.
