Faith to Maintain - THE FIRE!

 


The early Church never had to be told to continue to pray in tongues after they were baptized! (Acts 2:2-4, 42-47)
This baptism carried with it A SOUND.
It was THE SOUND of the Holy Spirit creating a FIRE-FILLED Church! 
They knew THE LIFE it gave them!
They knew the connection to their Heavenly Father through this baptism and infilling!
They knew THE POWER!
They became instantly and intimately acquainted with it!
They knew it was life - the life flow for them. They needed it! 
They embraced it wholeheartedly because it was LIFE!
Their meetings NEVER, EVER lacked THIS LIFE!
They never lacked this Power, Presence and Fire!
The lack came later, only when deceivers came into the fold - the religious spirits. So it is today. (Gal. 3:1-3)
The Word came to them through the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His Presence and Power was a continual flow in their lives and in their meetings.
The Lord says the just shall live by faith.
Without faith it is impossible to please Him, to not fall back into the natural-sense realm, walking according to the law, or the letter of the Word.
Faith is needed!

“But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting man's relationship to God and DIVINE THINGS, AND HOLY FERVOR BORN OF FAITH AND CONJOINED WITH IT]; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him.” (Heb.‬ ‭10‬:‭38‬ ‭AMPC, emphasis added)‬‬

It takes faith to continue the Spirit-filled, Spirit-empowered life of praying in tongues and staying in the FLOW of the baptism of the Holy Spirit’s Fire, Power, and Gifts!
This is the FIRE-POWER of awakening that we MUST CONTINUALLY CONTEND FOR!
Selah…

RELEASE THE ROAR - PRAYER STORM 2026!

Image
"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.

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...
