Subject: Choosing to Trust: The Truth in your Trials - Part 3

Dear Friends,

I’d like to submit an important prayer request to you this week. An issue that will affect the family and even our religious liberty for decades to come is coming before the Supreme Court:

“On Tuesday, March 20, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the California case of NIFLA v. Becerra. The Court will be deciding the constitutionality of a California law requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to post information about abortion services. This form of compelled speech violates the Free Speech Clause of the Constitution, which not only protects your right to speak freely, but also prevents the government from telling you to say things which are contrary to your conscience or your religious beliefs.” From Sara Bellinger CHPP

This case will go before the court Tuesday and the Justices will deliberate Wednesday – Friday. Please stand for the rights of the unborn, the women who are choosing life over abortion, and our religious liberty!

During our Washington DC Gathering of the Eagles, we waged war on the systematic destruction of the family unit over the last several decades. We repented and prayed over abortion, removing prayer/bible from our schools, even the effort of the woman’s right’s movement to remove mothers from the home and place her desires over the God-given life of her child. I’m not suggesting women shouldn’t work – and don’t deserve equal pay – please look beyond those issues and into the heart of what I’m saying; Rockefeller and Soros funded the woman’s rights movement. We’ve discussed their position with the Elite, as well as their intent to break down and ultimately destroy the family unit.

We interceded and fought for the family in the DC GOE, and now, almost every week we are seeing answers to our prayers by new decisions in the courts as well as opportunities to vote against abortion and for the family. God is bringing forth these opportunities to effect change in our Nation! We, as children of righteousness, must continue to press in!

Opportunities to pray, let our voices be heard, and make sure our vote is tallied will continue to come in the days ahead because God is turning the tide in our Nation! Righteousness is coming to the forefront and we must stand behind it and press it into victory!

Let me share a vision I had a few days ago:

I had a vision of the intercessors. Before us was a huge wall. We were standing on one side of the wall and darkness was on the other side. The Lord told me this wall is a move of righteousness for our Nation and we have been called to push it across the land and take back dominion of our Nation. Through our intercessions, I saw us pressing against this wall and pushing back the darkness. In the beginning of our fight, it seemed the darkness might be winning this battle as the wall was leaning in toward us, so much so that we were almost falling backwards under the pressure. We were tired yet refused to give in to the darkness. Suddenly, the wall moved into an upright position, seeing we were on equal footing, the faith of the intercessors was so encouraged, we pressed our shoulders against the wall and started pushing the wall with all we had. I could see into the enemy’s camp and fear begin to penetrate the darkness and again, just as suddenly as before, this huge wall moved into a 45-degree angle against the darkness and we were charging forward pushing back the darkness, taking dominion and ushering righteousness into our land!

I believe the wall was repositioned in the DC Gathering. We are in a different position today and must advance fervently into the enemy’s camp.

This is the call of the Lord in this hour; He is calling us to press in for righteousness! If we will obey, He will grant us the authority to take back our Nation for Righteousness! We cannot stop now, we must press in with same intensity we’d use fighting for the life of a child, a parent, a spouse. Why? Because we love righteousness and long to see His righteousness reign in our land!

With every battle we gain greater victory! Pray each day over the Supreme Court and join us on our corporate calls as we stand in the gap for our Nation. We are making headway my friends, together we’re taking back our land!

Please see below for the upcoming Joel’s Army schedule. We’ve got two in California and one in Michigan, don’t miss your opportunity to get connected with the intercessors in your area!

Blessings & love,
Ricci Wilson

At CedarWood, our clients receive more than just food. They receive prayer as well. I’d like to share the following excerpt from our CW Weekly Report: Perhaps you will remember the report from last week about a woman who received prayer for MS. She told us she went back to her doctor for an exam and they found no indication of the disease in her brain, even though she had been told otherwise in previous visits. Praise God! We continue to pray and believe for her complete healing.

This is what you are helping us build; a community that cares for—and reaches out to—one another.

“Choosing to Trust: The Truth in your Trails"

Part 3

By Nita Johnson
Seattle


“Now if the dispensation of death engraved in letters on stone [the ministration of the Law], was inaugurated with such glory and splendor that the Israelites were not able to look steadily at the face of Moses because of its brilliance, [a glory] that was to fade and pass away, Why should not the dispensation of the Spirit [this spiritual ministry whose task it is to cause men to obtain and be governed by the Holy Spirit] be attended with much greater and more splendid glory?” 2 Cor. 3:7-8 (AMP) 

Consider what happened at the time the law was given. Moses was so filled with the glory of God that the Jewish people around the bottom of the mountain could not bear to look at his face. The glory flashed like lightning from his face. The top of the mountain was surrounded by angels that looked like a wall of fire. A trumpet blew that seemingly called the entire creation to attention. The Word of God spoke from the top of the mountain down to the people at the bottom of the mountain.

They were not just bland words—every word was living, released with power. His words were full of revelation, which means that they were full of light and illumination. As God spoke, an entire race of people was being transformed in their inner man to see and understand God and His Kingdom. We still have not seen it but these people saw it. Have you been taken to heaven and shown the Kingdom of God throughout? Not only did these people see it, but they were taken into it. Every word God spoke built up their inner man to be able to contain the revelation they were being given.

Now I want to tell you something that happens with revelation. Revelation will do something very good for you or it could do something very bad for you. If you are given a magnanimous revelation from God, where your entire being is taken into the experience, it causes your spirit to come to a new level of life. It also causes your soul to be stimulated very deeply by this new level of life. If you abide by, meditate on, pray over, and chase God in respect to this stimulation, then you will find a certain level of transformation taking place in your soul as a result. If you do not, and you treat it like something that is unimportant, the very next thing your soul will do is desire more of the world. This happens because your soul has been excessively stimulated, and you have to do something with it; you cannot just sit on it. Your soul will become so active that you have to respond to it, either by moving deeper into the Spirit and running after God, or by moving into the lust of your flesh. The latter is what happened to Israel. They did not know to run after God, the Author of this stimulation.

What is the very next thing that Israel did? They got busy making themselves an idol. People will make all kinds of idols behind revelations, including letting the revelation become the idol rather than the Author of the revelation. What Israel did in that season is very normal, so we can quit condemning them. It is exactly what you will do if God visits you and you do not do the right thing with the revelation.

What is His goal? He has inaugurated a dispensation of grace through which His intent is to let the world see the Kingdom of God. He desires to grant to the world a revelation of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Author of salvation. That is why so often when people get saved, they want to go out and get everyone saved. Not many will retire to their room and say, “I think I'm going to become a mystic.” They want to go out and get people saved. I was terrible in that way. I wanted to get my whole real estate office saved. It got so bad that when I came in, they would leave. It seemed like the safest thing they could do.

Something was stimulated, and for me, the stimulation drove me to the Word. I was so hungry for the Word—I could not get enough of it. I spent hours a day in the Word. Then the Word began to create in me a stimulation of the desire to worship the Lord. I wanted more of Him, and I cried out continually, “I want more of You, Lord! I want to know You more! It just seems that there's something I don't have that I'm supposed to have.”

The thing I did not have was the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Lord made sure I received that and then I was really crazy for Him—just ballistic. I had to have even more of God. I had to be in Church all the time and I had to get everyone saved. I was seeing dreams and visions; I had no idea what that was. I was born again in the Charismatic era, and they did not know about prophets back then. So here I was, experiencing the maturing of a prophet, and I did not understand what was happening to me but that did not stop me a bit. I just kept running harder and faster, wanting to know more. I would get the Bible out, and I would read it and cry, “Please help me understand Your Word! Open Your Word to me.” Something had been stimulated. My spirit man was now in connection with Jesus and His Kingdom.

What is the purpose? When we were born again, there was in you and me an inauguration of glory. It was a glory that God wanted to use to lead you into the depths of understanding the ways and the nature of God. The goal is to bring you into a glory that is greater than what Moses experienced. What exactly did Moses experience? When your heart and your soul have been properly conditioned by the Lord by chiseling away or burning away the chaff that is in your soul, He fills you with glory.

To be continued next week…

In Him,
Nita
