A Powerful Testimony! 
A Major in the Air Force who is also part of KLI’s covenant family called us a few days ago and we prayed. They are also a seer and as of late had seem to be experiencing an unusual increase in challenges personally and professionally. They shared some of the things people had done to dishonor them, silence them, undermine authority as well as senior officers neglecting to follow through performing tasks that was their duty to perform, which if not completed would impact their ability to be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. One of the things she needed to be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel was command of a unit.

After sharing a variety of scriptures to combat the thoughts as well as providing some scriptures to war with in the spirit we prayed. One of the scriptures we prayed was Psalms 75:6-7 which in the KJv says:

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

24 Hours Later
Less than 24 hours later we received a phone call from our KLI family member whom we've affectionately sometimes called her "Major Blessing."  They had just come out or a meeting with their Group Commander who told them how their squadron’s commander had just been promoted. They would be transferred to the Pentagon and they asked our Major to become the new Squadron Commander. She is being promoted and command of this unit was exactly what she needed to be positioned for the next Lieutenant Colonel promotion board. Thank you Jesus!

Lessons Learned

Dennis is the Prayer Pastor for Transform Yakima Together (TYT).  They've been working with me on the first customized 1Church1Day Community Prayer Transformation System for their network. 

Prayer leaders beginning with a coordinator for National Day of Prayer (Linda I.) in 2006 began to work with me using what was then called Operation Rolling Thunder.  Their powerful testimonies regarding prayers impact on crime are recorded in my book Operation Rolling Thunder revised edition.  They've continued collaborating together all these years and TYT, I believe, was birthed through this prayer in 2015.  

Now they are helping us pioneer this new system that I believe will help to connect and serve many churches and networks to build our Father's house of prayer while gathering elders back in the gates of their respective cities, counties and states. 

I was thrilled when I received his email this morning titled "Our Prayers are Being Answered" along with the picture of the article. 

​In 1988 God gave me a vision which I prophesied about in Springfield Christian Center in Springfield Oregon.  Dr. Larry Lea’s father in the faith, Bob Wilhite was the special speaker that day when I prophesied what I saw regarding how the body of Christ would mobilize and connect as the army of the Lord to pray.  The image that best represents that vision now resides on the home page of our app.  It was during this meeting that the prophetic gift was first recognized in my life.

This was before we had even heard of an internet or the world wide web. Little did I realize at the time that this word was also a personal assignment.

Thirty years later the vision is becoming a reality.  This is why I think it's important to share a little history. 
 
The revelation and message Christ gave me to steward was first embodied in CONECT (Christian Outreach Network Establishing Church-wide Teamwork).  It was designed to work by hand and through fax machines. As I proved God's word and this system in churches like Word of His Grace and communities like Springfield Oregon our technology matured. By the time CONECT matured into Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT) in 2005 email, website, Word and a variety of online forms were used.  The system was the same but the technology evolved. As it evolves, it allows us to equip leaders to become even more effective in mobilizing their people to pray.

Now I know most of you are bored already because I'm talking about administration. But hear me!  This is a critical component of leadership and required to connect larger churches and more people together to increase the power the Church has to project through prayer to enforce the will of King Jesus. 

I just got off the phone with Apostle Nani who heads up the India Prayer League.  We were with him and the pastors of 24 churches who were working with him. They shared with me the watch schedules for their congregation on the day they take to pray using the 1Church1day strategy. 

The strategy was done mostly on paper.

Then there is Living Hope in Renton Washington. This church takes the 13th of each month as their day to pray.  They started on paper but quickly added the system to their website and integrated it with their church app.  

Simultaneously, we happen to be working with the Transform Yakima Together League who is rolling out their own customized 1Church1Day Community Prayer Transformation System.  They've customized our system for their network of 25 churches.  

All technology does is to help automate a process. In this case we use communication technology to help connect the body of Christ to build our Father's house of prayer for all nations, one person, one hour, one church, one day at a time. 

We’ve just returned from our missions trip to India. I’ve titled this the supernatural, services, supplies and souls saved trip for that’s what occurred.  There were a number of firsts accomplished on this trip such as:
​

1. It was the first time I gave another minister the opportunity to lead their first international missions trip.  They consider me a spiritual parent, so it was exciting to give them that opportunity. 
2. It was the first time an interpreter was contacted by someone in the police department notifying them they were looking for the Westerners. 
3. It was the first time I'd used the Leadership Dashboard of 1Church1Day to issue an emergency alert mobilizing strategic prayer for protection while we were in another nation.
4. It was the first time I'd experienced such hostility from some people which stood in stark contrast to many more drawn to the light.  We've never had some many strangers wanting pictures with us crying "selfie."  
5. It was the first time a family conference was ever held for Jesus Christ Prayer House wherein men, women, married couples and children were all ministered to at the same time.
6. It was the first Pastors & Evangelists Conference held by the India Prayer League we helped found after I’d commissioned Nani apostolically to oversee the 1Church1Day strategy in India.  110 ministers attended and 10 expressed interest in joining with the 24 churches already apart of the India Prayer League.
7. It was the first time that a woman was bit by a two headed snake while I was ministering during a Festival (outreach).  In spite of that clearly demonic distraction (the women was not poisoned) 600 attended and 50 responded to the altar call for first time decisions to give their hearts to Christ.

In cities and communities across this world we find a small but very important group of Christians.  They are marked by their love for God and a strong desire to see:

• Our Father's house of prayer built through 24/7 prayer (Isa. 56:7, Acts 15:17-17 & Matt. 21:13)
• Jesus prayer for the Church to become one in John 17:21 
• Their community transformed through the presentation of Jesus gospel of the kingdom
• Leaders gathered and working together in the 7 spheres of society

​James 1:22-24 and Romans 2:13 teach us that it is the "doers" of God's word who are blessed. No action equates to no faith and no results.

Love is Essential
1 Corinthians 13 teaches us that no matter what we "do," if there is no love that under-girds that "doing," those actions profit nothing.  They are useless.

So love is absolutely essential otherwise our "doing" is merely worthless as far as eternity is concerned.

Love without Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding is Frustrating
But if we are going to be a doer and put our faith into action then we need to do it with wisdom. Otherwise we will be doing it the hard way. Proverbs 2:6 teaches us that wisdom includes an understanding of how and when to use knowledge and understanding.

Over the years I've seen many church mobilizers fueled by their love for God and a desire to see their community impacted through the presentation of Jesus' gospel of the kingdom.  They want to do the Biblical mandate which includes go and making disciples of all nations.  They are so passionate about seeing prayer established in their church and community.

But they are frustrated by the lack of results.

The Beauty of the 1Church1Day Community Prayer Transformation System
The beauty of the 1Church1Day Community Prayer Transformation System is that it is designed to serve those kinds of church mobilizers.  They provide the love, passion and action.  The 1Church1Day system adds the wisdom of God with knowledge and understanding to their actions which helps them and the churches they serve to exponentially increase their impact in their community by 7x in just 90 days.
 
​How? Let me show you by sharing with you the scriptures that under-gird each step and action in our system.

We just received this report from Steve Buss and the One Hope network in Lane County Oregon.  Here's an excerpt from their newsletter.  

For two years, more than 40 churches + hundreds of people have prayed around-the-clock for our community. With specific insight from Christ-honoring leaders in every sphere, we’re praying. God is giving us eyes to see our community, teaching us to seek its “peace and prosperity,” and bringing glory to Jesus. There is more to come! Praise the Lord!

Steve's team introduces the strategy on their website with:

One Church - One Day provides a simple way for churches to pray together for our commu​nity in strategic and relevant ways. Each church takes one day every month to pray for 24 hours. This creates a church-led, year round, strategic prayer covering for our community. In other words, that's prayer on behalf of our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year!  Click here to go to One Hope's website.

In the read more section below I'll provide a link to this PDF report and you can visit their site for more of their personal testimonies click here.  Let's rejoice with them and remember that the testimony of Jesus, is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10).  If Christ did it here, He can do it in your community to.  Catch a vision!

One Hope's Two Year report of their employment of 1Church1Day (One Church One Day).

I love this report because it illustrates the "long term impact" of God's presence invited into a community. Click here to download One Hopes 2 Year Report in PDF. Now while we start by emphasizing the 7 spheres or 7 mountains the truth is, you can have as many or as few councils as you desire. In Lane County they choose 10 areas to focus their prayer on and as of today, there are actually 42 churches working together each month.

What's so cool is that One Hope did this "old school."
What do I mean by old school? They had to do the work and due due diligence to put the communication infrastructure in place in order to facilitate the prayer, praise, requests, reports, and serve the councils. My friends, this system works! The beauty of the app and the associated 1Church1Day Community Transformation System is that we are helping automate the process for you. We are going to offer two kinds of leagues.

1. Ambassador League - An ambassador league (you name your league) will incorporate the best of "old school" with new technology. They'll have access to all of the "old school" tried and true tools that have been used by ministries in over 38 nations for the last 12 years. Plus, we've found a way to offer the 1Church1Day app to your league and use it for directing your decrees, prayer targets and sharing your testimonies through the app. You'll use some of our old school systems and processes to handle your watchman reports, prayer requests, praise reports and council reports. This league is where everyone starts with a very low financial threshold to set this up. Watch for this to be rolled out in our app the first week of June.
2. Kingdom League - A kingdom league is for a church/ministry/city/network of churches who desire to utilize the full automated 1Church1Day Community Transformation System. It automates all of the old school systems and the beauty of it. It empowers the Church overseeing it to mobilize strategic prayer and action within 5 minutes. It provides a level of security and confidentiality which is key to serving high profile leaders in the 7 mountains and in your council teams. It offers calendars so every person can manage their watch schedule and there are ways for everyone to report what the see and hear. I love this because this system offers leaders a "virtual strategic command center" which we call a Leadership Dashboard for your league. This will also have your very own 1Church1Day apps associated with your league for your people. There is a significant cost to customize which we will discover what that is over the next several months. I'll share more about this soon.

Lessons Learned

1. This Kingdom Strategy Is Cross Cultural - While many are familiar with the Whatcom Story who began using this strategy in 2008 (ORT) or Lane County who began in 2015 there are a large number of communities who've employed with strategy who do not have websites and support like these two ministries do. We've seen churches impact communities and regions from Gainesville Florida, to Yakima Washington, to Kalamyo Myanmar, to Andra Pradesh India, to Lahore Pakistan, Kenya, Liberia, England, Romania, etc.
2. What is Needed to Start? - Leaders from the Church in a city, region, county, etc. who have responsibility because Christ called them. Leaders who are motivated by a kingdom heart. What do I mean by this? Leaders who recognize the Church is bigger than their ministry and they need to work with the other parts in that area. They often cry and pray for unity or that the Church would be one as Jesus prayed in John 17. People who are captured by a vision for building our Father's house of prayer continually. The most important element is the fire that burns within their heart we call love. Love for God, love for God's people, love for the lost and a desire to see Christ's love impact and transform their community. Bottom line, you supply the love and the territory and through 1Church1Day we can help you apply the wisdom of God to your passion to increase your effectiveness.
3. Honor - 1 Peter 2:17 says to "Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God and honor the king." It requires honoring God's word. In Acts 15:16 it says in the latter days that God would restore the tabernacle of David so the Gentiles might be saved. The tabernacle of David was marked by a system of teams who offered up 24/7 prayer all year long. It requires us to honor God's word when it comes to loving our brother and loving the lost. 1 Corinthians 12 makes is clear that there are many parts but one body and we need each other. It also requires that we honor jurisdictions. For example, our prayers are much more impactful when a leader with authority such as a mayor, police chief, fire chief, business man, pastor or bishop invite us in to pray. Finally we need to honor God's word when it comes to "doing" what His word says such as recording dreams, visions and words (Habakkuk 2:2), judging those words (1 Corinthians 14:29) and doing good strategic spiritual warfare through God's word (Psalm 68:11, 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 and 1 Timothy 1:18). It also requires honoring roles and gifts. God designed and gave certain gifts to perform certain functions. In every community where you see "long term results" you will also find a team or ministry who do what no typical church or pastor can do. They are uniquely gifted and called to mobilize and connect the body of Christ on a larger scale.
4. Faith in Action - James 2:17 says "Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." You can talk, dream, envision, strategize, pray, prophesy etc. but the bottom line it requires a leader or a handful of leaders with a gift of wisdom to begin to put their faith in action. 1Church1Day provides wisdom to start ..... but it requires a leaders motivated by the love of Christ to push through the pain, disappointment and challenges that arise. Candidly, the steps are simple. 1. Build the wall of prayer as one church takes one day 2. Set a watch 3. Form councils 4. The spiritual intelligence gleaned through prayer and these councils are shared with the leaders who then do just like King Hezekiah did in Ezekiel 37 when he laid the report from Isaiah and the enemy before the Lord and asked God what to do. It's simple! But simple does not mean easy. But the fruit is worth it.

1Church1Day is a strategy that empowers the Church in each city, county, region etc. to become like an author as they begin through prayer and strategic wisdom to write a new chapter of Church history in their region.
