Lift Up A Roar!

  THE CALL TO GUARD AND PROTECT THIS NATION REMAINS INTACT! We continue to PRAY AND DECREE over our homes, neighborhoods, communities, cities, states, and nation with the anointing of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we continue to enforce the victory of the Blood of Jesus!  We have to go back to the original plan. If the original plan was in the heart of God, the mind of God, the will of God, the purposes of God, and the plan of God, then it’s AUTHORITY is still alive in God's heart, and we should know without a doubt that it is still His will and we can enforce it! God does not change His mind. The enemy - the devil and his demons - always purpose to overthrow God's plans and to replant something wicked and iniquitous from the kingdom of darkness. As sons and daughters of the living God, we are called to enforce the kingdom of Heaven in the earth! We do this, first, in the salvation of men and women, and we are to do Genesis 1:26 and enforce the kingdom, the glory of God and do th...

"He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!"   (Ephesians 2:6 TPT) MIGHTY PRAYER WARRIORS, LET'S ROAR THE ROAR OF FAITH as we make DECREES OVER AMERICA! The Bible says we are kings and priests. Kings decree, and when we, as sons and daughters of the most high God, SPEAK, the anointing of God goes forth and shifts, moves, and removes things in the realm of the spirit! Angels hearken unto the voice of the Word of the Lord, and, as kings, we are to SPEAK the Word of God by the Holy Spirit, then the power of God is released! Let’s decree today, speaking it over and over throughout the day as we are in this war-season. We must let Christ rule and reign through us, His Body. We are already victorious, just as Christ is already victorious, but, we must enforce Christ's victory and satan’s defeat as Christ’s Ekklesia. We do all of this thro...

  Hello Mighty Warriors! We are called to be people of prayer, but we are also called to be people of strong faith. We are to maintain a spirit of prayer AND a spirit of faith. The two are supposed to work together. Today, while I was spending time with the Lord in the morning, He reminded me that prayer alone is not enough.  We must carry, maintain, and release our faith - faith in the Word of God! The Word of God says, "without faith it is impossible to please God." ( Heb. 11:16 ) We are supposed to be people of faith - to live and walk in faith, continually! Prayer alone is not enough. Prayer without faith can be a dead work. ( James 2:17 ) We are to pray from the place of VICTORY - the VICTORY of the finished work of Christ!  We are to release faith by the words of our mouth, whether it be through our prayers, decrees, declarations, or confessions. All prayer must have its foundation in the Word of God, and the Word of God is called the word of faith! ( Rom. 10:8 )...

  Hello Mighty Prayer Warriors! As we continue to  "Release The Roar!"  over America for her Awakening, Restoration, and Protection, we are joining our prayers in agreement with Pastor John and Sandy Halvorsen as they do a Perimeter-Prayer Assignment for America . Let's continue to ROAR with the Lion of the tribe of Judah! Contending For Revival & Awakening! Helen Utegaard  & LMI Team Below is a message from Sandy Halvorsen as they launched on their Perimeter-Prayer Assignment. Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023: "Day 1 of our next prayer adventure!  Feeling an urgency in the Spirit, John and I are headed out from Duluth to travel the circumference of the USA via Amtrak, praying for the spiritual Awakening of our nation. We bought the tickets yesterday (after much prayer), and off we go!  We plan to stop in cities along the way as the Lord leads, and may have completed the circuit in 12 days or so. PRAY WITH US FOR REVIVAL FOR AMERICA!!! OH, HOW WE NEED JESUS!"

When we began and released this "Release The Roar!" prayer assignment, we began it with a word and a witness in the Spirit that we were entering a time of great intensity and warfare. As the world, on October 7th, stood back in shock and awe, witnessing a horrific, demonically inspired attack against innocent lives - against Israel and its people - we know that we have now truly stepped into a prophecied war season. The shaking has begun, and it is being felt worldwide. I believe the Lion of the tribe of Judah is rising up, and He will move through the Church, the Ekklesia, and we must pray, decree, declare, like never before! This new season requires a new level of consecration, commitment, boldness, faith, courage, and authority in the Holy Spirit, from His Body. Holy Spirit is calling us to come up higher! Let's stir ourselves up, and pray and press and ROAR! Let’s read this " Roaring Church Prophecy" again, as we engage with Holy Spirit for this season. ( ...

Hello Prayer Warriors - MIGHTY VICTORIOUS ONES! YES, that is who you are as born-again sons and daughters of God! You are IN Christ Jesus, and you are SEATED in Christ, right now. ( Eph. 2:6 )  In light of all that has happened in Israel this past weekend, we saw  the spirit of antichrist on full display, manifesting itself as Hamas attacked Israel. Sad to say, the world had a full witness of demons working through a people.  Our prayers will continue    for Israel and for the Jewish people. Always.  This morning when I woke up, I heard the words "boomerang...it’s boomerang time." I heard it clearly, and went back and pulled up a video and blog from earlier this year. ( link posted below ) I believe it is for today. Interestingly, I have also heard a few other ministers say that they believe we are living in Psalm 94 right now! Confirmation! Let’s decree and declare the Blood of Jesus over Israel and over all the Jewish people worldwide, as there is a world...

The Autumn Assembly of Prayer is a wonderful, POWERFUL gathering of praying believers - praying warriors! We were not able to attend this year, but we will be participating online. I want to encourage and invite you to take part in this prayer conference with us. We will not only pray together, joined by the Spirit (because there is no distance in the Spirit) but, also be informed on very important current events - especially Israel, America, and prophecy.  ( links to view the conference live-feed posted below ) Dr. Billye Brim is a great friend of Israel, has done much ministry work there since the 1980's, and is currently building a Prayer & Study Center, Migdal Arbel, in the Galilee. Lightnings Ministries has been a partner of her ministry since 2008, and greatly honors and respects Dr. Billye Brim. Remember, we are the VICTORIOUS CHURCH of the Lord Jesus Christ! Let’s work to enforce HIS VICTORY!  Contending For Revival & Awakening! Helen Utegaard https://billyebr...

SPIRITUAL PREPAREDNESS IS A LIFESTYLE! My Team and I live ready, you can too! #1. Strengthen and nurture your relationship with the Lord, everyday. Talk to Him, fellowship with Him. Listen to Him, ask Him questions, and expect Him to answer you - be in faith!  #2. Pray in the Spirit to keep and maintain your spiritual connection to the   Lord, at all times, and also, to keep your soul in check. Keep your soul (mind, will, and emotions), quiet. Discern wrong thoughts and feelings, especially fear, and shut them down - resist them! Replace them by meditating and speaking God's Word instead!  #3. Take communion everyday. Seal your love and life in Him by drawing close to Him through communion, and seal it with forgiving others and asking Him to forgive you. ( Mark 11:25 ) #4. Pray without ceasing in the Spirit. ( 1 Thess. 5:17 )  #5. Continuously make decrees and declarations throughout your day.  #6. Feed on the Word of God concerning your LIFE in Christ, and the ...

  Hello Mighty Warriors! As we begin this week continuing our " Release The Roar!" prayer assignment, let's especially continue in our daily commitment to give the Lord 30 minutes of praying in tongues. As I often say when we are praying in tongues, we are giving Holy Spirit something to work with! We are agreeing with Him. We are speaking out mysteries. We are releasing His plans. We are commissioning angels. We are working with Him, and He is working through us! Our hearts and prayers go out toward Israel, as many of us have witnessed the shaking that happened in Israel this past weekend. To say our hearts are heavy and grieved with sadness is an understatement.  As we yield to the Holy Spirit in prayers, releasing healing, love, and strength to Israel and its people, there is also an authority and a ROAR in the spirit that the Holy Spirit is working, and we MUST yield to both! The Lion of the tribe of Judah is not just sitting back. God‘s heart, God‘s hand, and God...

TODAY, OCT. 7, 2023, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK! It’s time to LIFT UP and RELEASE A ROAR, in the Holy Spirit, with POWER for Israel! Israel is the apple of God’s eye! ( Zech. 2:8 ) The Lord has always desired and called the United States to stand with Israel. As we are contending for our nation, we are also, and always, contending for Israel!  I believe we are in a time when the justice of God is going to be moving swiftly in our nation. All of the exposures that we have been seeing in the last few years, have been to uncover and reveal the agenda of satan and its players that have been at work in this nation for many years. This nation was birthed for God and belongs to God. The Church was always meant to be the stewards of America, and to see her fulfill her destiny - to be a light to the nations, and TO ALWAYS BE A FRIEND TO ISRAEL, STAND WITH ISRAEL, AND FIGHT FOR ISRAEL! The Lord has called the Church to be a "watchman on the wall" - a watchman    ov...

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ)...In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. (John 1:1, 4 AMPC ) Don’t uproot the seeds of life that you have planted! One of the reasons it’s so important that we maintain a lifestyle of praying in tongues and speaking correctly, according to the Word of God, is so that we don’t uproot and dig up the seeds of the Word of God that have been planted!  They have been planted by the Holy Spirit's words, in tongues and in your natural language!  Jesus said that He came to give life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10) He said, "My words are spirit, and they are life!" (John 6:63) Let’s allow the River of Life to flow through our lives by praying, speaking, decreeing, prophesying, and declaring! Allow the words of life to be planted and watered so they can flourish - RELEASING HIS GLORY! Contending For Revival & Awakening! Helen Utegaard Today, let's make our daily decree and declaration of the power a...

  “He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them]. He speaks to them in His deep anger and troubles (terrifies and confounds) them in His displeasure and fury, saying,  Yet have I anointed (installed and placed) My King [firmly] on My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, You are My Son; this day [I declare] I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like potters' ware." ( Psalm 2:4-9 AMPC) ‬‬ The Church, through the Holy Spirit, IS the restraining voice and force of Jesus in the earth against all of the devil's deeds, works, agendas, and his progression in the earth. There is nothing sedentary or casual that should be happening through the ruling, reigning Ekklesia! A rushing waterfall, especially one like Niagara...
