Dear Friends,
Friday night’s message was a powerful one! I pray you were able to join our service in person or online. I am thankful to the Lord for strengthening Mom (Nita) as the service progressed. As I listened to her speak, it was clear that His presence sustained her throughout the service enabling the Word of the Lord to come through with great force! I must say, I wept with gratitude for His sustaining grace. Thank you to those of you who joined us. The message given Friday is a pertinent message for the hour in which we live. If you were unable to listen in on Friday, I strongly urge you to do so this week. You can find it on the media log page of our website, “The Word of the Lord for America”. Listen, download, copy to a disc and share it with your friends and family. God has a plan; we just need to pray!
Joel’s Army is and has been, preparing us for this season here and now. We come together, seek the Word of the Lord, and pray according to His will for our Nation. He says, “Repent!” We repent. He says, “Weep!” We weep. He says, “Declare My Word over the Nation!” We pour over the scriptures and pull out declarations and proclamations to declare over our Nation! I encourage you to not allow fear to set in. Listen to what God is saying; if we pray, He will respond! (II Chronicles 7:14)
Joel’s Army brings together intercessors to seek the Lord on behalf of their Nation. We provide training materials to our intercessors and seek to connect them at the local level so they can pray together. Each week timely, prophetic prayer points are issued via email that allows intercessors from all over the Nation to pray focused prayer points throughout the week providing a powerful method with which to resist the enemy. If you are not a part of Joel’s Army, check out the Joel’s Army Page of our website. You can find plenty of information about Joel’s Army including an application to join us. Now is the time my friends, now is the time to fall to our knees and seek His face on behalf of our Nation!
Consider joining us for the Washington DC GOE August 24-28, 2015. There are only a few seats left so reserve your seat today! As a reminder, July 30th is the last day to reserve your room and receive the discounted rate – which includes two free breakfast vouchers.
Following is the first installment of “He is Truth!” I pray it helps to strengthen and prepare you for the days ahead.
Blessings & love,
Ricci

"HE IS TRUTH!"
Part A
By
Nita JohnsonSeattleI had a whole page of issues that I wanted to share with you tonight, but on the way here, the Lord changed everything. So I'm going to share with you the magnificent thing that has happened as a result of our last Gathering of Eagles in Washington, DC. But first, He wants me to talk to you about His nature and His character. He is such a good God, and I'm so glad you're here. Jesus is glad you are here! I'm glad He's here. I don't want to come if He doesn't come, nor do I want to be anywhere He’s not. How about you?
Now to begin, my new temporary physical impairment made going to DC as difficult as it was to go to New York. It was quite an extravaganza to get across the country even by air when walking is a challenge. Therefore, I wasn't looking forward to the trip. The thing that compelled me onward was that Jesus told me we would win this battle if I would go. He would give us such a victory in DC that it would change many things. Therefore, any anxiety over going was overwhelmed by my excitement over what was going to happen once we arrived.
He still has much healing to do in my physical heart, although He has done some up to now. I don’t know what He has done and what He hasn’t done. I have two doctors who watch over me, and they do not understand it. They keep saying, “You’re a medical miracle!” My average heartbeat for about the last year and a half has been right around 160 to 165, and many times as high as 180, or even 200, because of my condition. I have had four heart attacks, as many of you know. The last one was on July 4th. Isn't that amazing? The entire time I had that heart attack, He poured into me a song, not a song that has been written, but a song that was straight from heaven. It was all about liberty. Engaged in a heart attack, the ministry of the Spirit wrapped me in a song about liberty for ten hours. I'm still not sure about the meaning of that divine encounter. However, in the above condition, as much as I had anxiety about going to DC, I couldn't wait to get there. You see, He is Truth, and He is not going to tell us anything that is not truth. Therefore when He said He would give us victory, I believed Him. This message of Truth is what He wants me to tell you about before I to share with you what He did.
Turn in your Bible with me to Ephesians 4:21.
Ephesians 4:21 Amp. Assuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, as [all] Truth is in Jesus [embodied and personified in Him]
I do not know how many times in the last ten years He has appeared to me as Truth. Not the God of truth, but Truth. All Truth is hidden away in Jesus. He is Truth. What did He say? "I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6) And John also said, “Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17)
So, let us start on the basis that Jesus is not only Lord, and God, but He is also all Truth. When He appears to me as Truth, I am overwhelmed at the difference between what we live in on this temporal plane every day and who and what He is. When you look upon Him who is Truth, you see that nothing in Him is a lie. Nothing in Him is deception. All light and all right is in Him.
I can remember once several years ago when Jesus appeared to me as truth incarnate sitting on His throne. I was taking a power walk at the time. I was out in the park, and I was just really enjoying myself, walking as fast as I could. It was about a two and a half mile walk so I was just clipping right along when suddenly there He was, and He was there as Truth. I stopped. I couldn't move another inch. I just gazed upon Him, looking into eternity through He who is Truth.
It causes you to see the world differently. The world is so dark and is so the opposite of what He is. The world is filled with the darkness of deception. Everything you have ever believed seems like it stands in opposition to the truth and being unnecessary to divine reality must be cut away the blade of truth. You think something as silly as a bench is real. You can sit on it and touch it, but it is not real. It is something that man built—a manifestation created on this plane—but it is not truth, and anything that is not truth is a lie. Do you understand? Anything that is not truth is a lie. We need to get that in our minds before I share with you what I am going to say to you. Anything that is part truth or half truth is a lie. Anything that our Redeemer and our Creator does not Himself create is a lie. If you had faith in that one truth, you could walk over to this wall and put your hand through it. I am telling you the truth. The wall is not truth. It is something that is built by man, and it seems like truth, but it is not truth. Jesus, on the other hand, cannot tell a lie. He cannot be deceptive. He cannot give you ninety percent truth and ten percent a lie For He is all Truth.
In His Amazing Love, Nita Johnson |
