Don't Tolerate the Devil!



Hello Lightnings Prayer Force!

So, it came to my heart today:
How much the Body of Christ misses it when we don’t take authority over the enemy - the devil and his demons - when they are harassing or attacking us!
We quote the scripture often, in Revelation 2:20, where Jesus said, "I have this against you - you tolerate that woman Jezebel..."
In other words, the Church tolerated the demonic spirit and entity of Jezebel.
If Jesus was dissatisfied with their disobedience in dealing with that demon spirit, that reveals to us that He can be equally grieved and dissatisfied when we, the Church, tolerate demonic spirits and entities - on a daily basis - in our lives, families, homes, churches, businesses, cities, states, or even our nation.

When we look at things from this perspective, that is when faith can truly start to rise up on the inside of us.
As we are anchored in the Word and understand that we have been given authority and are commanded by Jesus to bind devils and cast them out, we can then boldly rise up and speak the Word with authority and release the kingdom of Heaven! 
This is all part of awakening!
We, the Body of Christ, must be awakened day by day, hour by hour, to the truth - the truth of what is really going on around us and operating against us! 
We need to ask ourselves, "Have we, as sons or daughters of God, taken our place at the right hand of God the Father, in Christ Jesus, and are we ruling and reigning in this life, in this earth, in Christ as we have been commanded to?" (Eph. 1:19-23, Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17-18)
Our lives and the lives of our loved ones are at stake!
In other words, our lives are affected, their lives are affected, and God‘s great plans in this world are affected when we are asleep, overwhelmed by the enemy, and accepting defeat in areas where we have been given Christ's victory and authority! 

Awakening! Awakening! Awakening!
Let us awaken, Church!
Let us stir ourselves up in the Spirit, in prayer, in the Word of God, and awaken, rise up, stand up, command, and be in the position of authority that Christ has given us! 


Contending for Revival & Awakening!

RELEASE THE ROAR - PRAYER STORM 2026!

"See, I have this day appointed you to the oversight of the nations and of the kingdoms to root out and pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬) Hello Lightnings Prayer Force! I want to exhort you today, as we are stepping into a powerful season of momentum - a season of exposure of the kingdom of darkness, a season of uprooting, pulling down, destroying, and overthrowing evil! This is going to be a mighty year of His shifting and justice! The safest place, and the most important, most powerful place to be, is in Christ - living and abiding there, and walking in Him. We are not natural people, we are supernatural people, and how it delights our Father to see His children living the supernatural life that He has given them! For it is in this supernatural life that we walk in victory!  To be filled with the Spirit and filled with the Word of God should be the aim of every child of God on a daily basis, a moment-to-moment basis. Thi...

Praying & Decreeing Over President Trump Today!

Image
We thank You, Father, as we lift up President Trump to You, today, in the Name of Jesus (1 Tim. 2:1-4). We plead the Blood of Jesus over President Trump this day, and we thank You, Lord, that there is a wall around about him - a wall that includes First Lady Melania, and all of the President's family - his children, their spouses, and all of his grandchildren! Thank You, Lord, for the wall of the Blood of Jesus encircling them with the protection of God, and even the protection of angels surrounding them as a shield! Thank You, Lord, that because of the prayers of the Saints, this wall is in place, in the Name of Jesus! We thank You for good counselors surrounding President Trump - counselors who give him wisdom for the affairs of government and the affairs of the nation.  We thank You, also, Lord, for godly SPIRITUAL counselors surrounding him and speaking the Word and wisdom of the Lord in his ear, by the Holy Spirit, continually! We declare, in the Name of Jesus, that President ...

HIGH PLACES SHAKING

Image
Much of what we see happening right now is the arrogance of those who have been siding and working with the kingdom of darkness. In their imaginations, they believe that they have been firmly established and are irremovable as a high place, a high tower of authority and dominion - believing that they are an established power! But, because the Spirit of God and His righteousness and the power of the Holy Spirit is at work through the Ekklesia - the governing Body of Christ - those high towers of the kingdom of darkness are shaking and many are crashing down! Let the mighty Ekklesia arise, pray, decree, and contend in her God-ordained authority! Demons are terrified of believers that know their authority! ( Luke 10:19 ) Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin spoke by the Spirit and shared with the Body of Christ that whatever happens on the earth is because the Church allows it! The Church must stop many of the assignments and attacks of the devil through prayer and our authority, in Christ, in the Spirit...
