| Dear Friends and Intercessors,
We want to remind you of our Chanukah Gathering of the Eagles Tuesday, November 30-December 3, 2021!
Chanukah is the festival of lights. It represents a great victory over severe persecution, exposure of darkness, and freedom from oppression. It was led by the Maccabees and culminated in the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem under seemingly impossible circumstances in 167 BC.
Chanukah brings exposure of the enemy’s plans along with an anointing to overcome the oppressive works of darkness, bringing about great victory.
The Lord put it upon our hearts to have this particular GOE at this time for His intended purposes. After our dates were set, we learned there are two landmark cases going before the courts THIS WEEK! Both these cases involve bloodletting—abortion and human trafficking—as such, they open us up for very serious judgment. The work of the intercessor is to repent on behalf of the nations and greatly reduce and even stay the hand of judgment. This also weakens the enemy’s legal right to oppress and overtake the land while enabling us to take it back for Kingdom purposes.
What two cases?
The first case goes before Federal Courts, exposing the dark world of human trafficking among the world Elite. Justice for the children is the cry of our hearts! This is the criminal case of United States v Ghislaine Maxwell and involves the trafficking of minors for lascivious and perverse activities. The Bible likens the use of children for aberrant means to the worship of Ashtaroth and brings great judgment upon a nation.
Today we call it human trafficking
The second case goes before the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, the one tasked with upholding our US Constitution. This case will challenge Roe v Wade and the companion case Doe v Bolton. In Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, they are challenging the state’s ban on most abortions after 15-weeks. This case brings to light the tremendous error made by the court in 1973 which has accounted for the death of millions of babies and gives the court the opportunity to right the wrong it made nearly 50 years ago. The Heritage Foundation posted an extensive report bringing together the history of Roe v Wade up to now, incorporating the science of life in the womb, and fully explaining the landmark Mississippi case that could overturn the most grievous decision ever made by the Supreme Court. This is years in the making… Friends, I firmly believe that if people fully grasped how interwoven the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry is within every aspect of our nation, from our elections to the appointment of justices, big pharma to media, education to entertainment, and everything in between, they’d storm the steps of the Supreme Court demanding they not only overturn Roe v Wade but Amend the Constitution to protect Life At Conception.
The Bible likens child sacrifice to the worship of Molech and brings forth judgment.
Today we call it abortion.
Human Trafficking and Abortion open our nation for severe judgment. However, God in His mercy, moved upon the intercessors to humble themselves and pray, that He would hear from heaven and heal our land. (2 Chronicles 7)
Our ministry has prayed about these two issues for decades and this week, the week of Chanukah, the same week as our Gathering, two ground-breaking cases come before the court brining opportunity for true justice to reign in our land!
During the next four days, we will pray about these issues along with several pertinent issues the Lord directed us to pray over. I sent out a letter regarding this on Friday and included links to messages we feel will help you understand the seriousness of the month of December while preparing you for our Gathering of the Eagles this week. The repentance, intercession and warfare accomplished will appease the heart of the Father and diminish the intensity the enemy has planned.
Jeremiah 32 speaks of both the judgment and promised restoration when repentance is complete. Let us come before the Throne!
This is Chanukah, let us align ourselves with our Lord, linking our faith with His divine will, and take our nation back from these pagan practices, dedicating our land once again, to our Lord and Savior and the release of His Gospel throughout the earth!
Join us tomorrow night as we stand in the gap for our nation!
See you then!
Blessings & love,
Ricci Johnson-Wilson on behalf of Nita Johnson and the entire WFJM/JA/CW Team

| Four Steps In Union Eph 4
Part C
7.15.21 Nita Johnson
From last week: In the Greek, the five-fold ministry is really the four-fold ministry. Pastors and teachers are considered the same, but I will use the term five-fold ministry for the sake of understanding as the body would understand it today.
He gave the five-fold ministry, the building up of His Church to care for you, teach, train, and equip you. God did not put the five-fold ministry on this earth for you to worship; for you to look at as one greater than you ought. There are well-known, powerful ministers that speak in mega-churches that have massive congregations that worship them. The amount of damage to people's souls, even to the loss of their salvation, is incredible because Satan caused a minister to fall due to sin. The pastor sinned for allowing that kind of worship. Further, the church, not knowing their wrongdoing, was nevertheless wrong in worshipping a leader. It does not matter that the leader is the head of a mammoth church.
I want to say something more about that in just one minute.
I am seeing a vision right now. It does not matter whether the group is a tiny church of 50 members, 150 members, or even a Bible study. When I accepted Christ, I saw a Bible study of adults grow from 150 to 500 people in a matter of months because the teacher taught the doctrines of the Word of Faith movement. But the people who attended did not attend only for the message, they attended because of the speaker. They idolized him, and how wrong it was for this gentleman to allow it. Of course, he did not know he was wrong because that is typically not questioned today. But, it must be because it costs too many lives when it runs amok. Our faith must be in Christ alone.
One of the significant reasons this idolatry leads so many astray is because it puts its worth in a man and a ministry building. If a church grows incredibly large, people think indeed God sent this man. So, the worship flows upon the church building, and the church becomes the focus instead of Christ. And any time, a person, a place, or a thing is put in place of Christ. It will not turn out well because there is only one Son of God. Only One. Any man desiring worship is in the wrong place, and any man that wants to worship another is in the wrong place. If you try to set the embodiment of the church in their head, as being the holy place of God, the Holy of Holies of God, the embodiment of that in the earth, it is sin, and it is corruption. As it is not only allowed but encouraged, the corruption only grows. It cannot help but grow. Our only hope to go where Paul points the finger to go is to keep our eyes on Christ and Christ alone.
Now he says here in verse 15,
"Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into..."
Who? Him! Not the pastor, not the Sunday school teacher, not the church building. You saw that great building in Southern California for many years called Crystal Cathedral. Christians stood amazed and aghast at this building. Where is it today? The church is gone, and I think that is the kindest thing He could do because it is not about the building. It is not about our power. It is not about the powerful man or woman of God. It is about Christ and Christ alone. He who is truth.
The reason I share this with you is because we are talking about high and holy things. My brothers and sisters, we cannot take the world into the high and holy place where God is calling us. We will not make it walking around with a massive bag of burdens on our shoulders, and we are trying to walk into a tiny little cave where you go to find the wisdom of the ages. It does not fit. You will never reach the place you are heading if you try to take the world with you.
Verse 21 "So assuming that you have really heard Him," The idea here is not that you did not hear about Him. The idea here is assuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, "As [all] truth as in Jesus [embodied and personified in Him]."
Now assuming that this is true, we have a course of action to go.
Verse 22 says, "Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off in discard your own unrenewed self]." Now many interpret that to become less sinful. That is not what He is saying here. He means crucify the old man on the cross, a cross designed for the person desiring union. "Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion." Paul is telling us to take off our sinful nature, which means a crucifixion must take place. It is step one. How are you going to go very deep into step two if you have not finished step one?
Now I went through a horrific cross in 2018. That was my cross upon which God truly crucified me. Jesus appeared to me and talked to me at length about it. He did what He did by scriptural foundation. In every human being, He must strip off the old man, the sinful nature. He has to eradicate it if you want the next step. And this is the second step upon your entrance into union, "Be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude]. This Scripture is vital for the person who wants to go into union. The Word renews your mind; it must renew it. It is not a once for all deal. I learned that what I thought was one step into the heights of God turns out to be an initial step that puts you on a spiritual stairwell going ever higher. One level after another, upon another, and yet upon another, and we know not how many until you are in complete union. In this process, your mind must be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind having a fresh, mental, and spiritual attitude. And by doing this, putting on the new nature the regenerate self, created in God's image, God-like in true righteousness and holiness, that is union. He took me through the cross in 2018, and in the beginning of 2019, He gave me union (verse 24).
To be continued next week
In Him,
Nita Johnson
