Dear friends,

This past week has been filled with God’s mercy. To bring forth His word so we can pray accordingly, is a tremendous act of His mercy. The Lord is birthing within the church today a new level of intercessor. This is one who will seek His heart in all things. The one who will set aside the time to spend with Him and come to truly know Him. Know His voice. Know His ways. Know His will that they might effectively pray - Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. How are we to fulfill that if we don’t know the Author of our souls?

The intercessor is a rare breed. Despite the great need, often there are not many found within a congregation. I remember years ago, the small church I was attending had only one intercessor. Today, as the calling of the intercessor is more widely understood, this number is increasing, but the Body of Christ is in desperate need for more. But, what is an intercessor, a true intercessor?

An intercessor doesn’t mind time alone because it means more time with the lover of their soul. They ache and crave time with the Lord so desperately because it is part of their calling; to spend time with Jesus that they might pray according to His will. When our spouse comes home from work, we can tell what kind of day he or she had by the way they enter the room. It’s a feeling, a sense, a knowing that comes through watching them enter a room every day for weeks, months, years… it’s just what happens when you spend time with the one you love. 

My mother spends hours a day in prayer. Even when I was young, she spent hours and hours a day in prayer. At the time, I didn’t understand why, I was just a child. At the time, I hardly understood her call, yet, I knew I wanted to be like her. She is a prophetic intercessor, called to birth a new movement in the church today. The time she spent with the Lord, both then and now, prepared her for this call. She came to know what it meant to pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done” because she spent time with the Author, the One would guide her every step as well as those who were willing to join in answering the call of the intercessor. 

For the last three-and-a-half years, we have been training and preparing the intercessors of Joel’s Army. Now is the time my friends! God is calling the intercessor, this rare breed to come forth that we might stand in the gap and bring stability to our cities, our states, and our nations when turmoil comes. When the Elite come in to take our land, Joel’s Army rises up and prays them down. That’s what we have been called to do – stand in the gap and remain as a stabilizing force in the days ahead. 

A praying army is the only army that can withstand the enemy in the last days. When the enemy seeks to destroy, we will be there standing strong, immoveable because we are anchored in the will of God. To some, this may appear to be the loneliest of callings, the one designed for the socially inept, but in truth, it is the highest calling. It takes the most dedication, the most perseverance, and the most sacrifice. It comes with the least amount of earthly glory, yet, for the intercessor, that only brings comfort. We are looking for glory. The intercessor is merely a vessel, a conduit, designed for sending and receiving. Our desire is to receive our commands from the Lord and send the glory to the Father. It seems like tremendous sacrifice, however, this calling, comes with the highest reward; true intimacy with the Lord. 

As you read the next installment in “Never Give Up!” I encourage you to seek the Lord about your role in the days ahead. Do you read this and feel fear or are you ready to pick up your armor and prepare for battle? Have you been called to prayer for as long as you can remember but always known that your prayers were to be for more than just your loved ones? If so, or if you just feel the desire to join with intercessors to stand in the gap for the nations, go to the Joel’s Army page of our website and fill out the application and let’s get you connected with prayer warriors in your area. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard an intercessor say to me; I’m finally home, I have finally found my calling in God, thank you for paving the way!

Will you be among them?

Blessings & love,
Ricci

Please continue to stand with us in prayer over our finances. There is much to be done this year, and we need your help to accomplish it! 

Last week we discussed the infiltration of the Illuminati into the financial institutions and universities of our Nation. While this can be a frightening concept, as intercessors, this is information we use to intercede and fight for our Nation. Stand strong my friends and prepare!

Things are going to happen. Next year (2015) is going to be a very difficult year, in fact it is going to be the beginning of many difficult years. However, it is too early for the One World Government to come into play. Now, when God says, "It's time" then there is no reason for us to continue praying against it because it is going to happen and as intercessors, we will need to go into a whole different mindset in our prayers. Until then, the Lord is saying, "It is not time." Do you hear me? "It is not time."
Even though we are already so entrenched in the Illuminati, there is still something more that has to be done and God is not going to let the Illuminati or the New World Order take over America at this time. It will take prayer. We're going to have to fight this thing like we've never fought anything before. 

A couple of years ago, I shared the plans that were in place for a bomb to be detonated at the London Olympic Games. This assignment would have meant the loss of many, many souls. How many of you were here when I shared this? [Many hands go up] That's good. How many of you have to admit that when we first started praying over this, it was hard to really believe that we could stop it? Just be honest. But we prayed and we prayed every week. And then, the Lord spoke to me in one of our meetings, "That is enough. You've done enough. Now just wait and see what I will do." Months after the Olympics, I received an e-mail by Ben Fulford and he talked about what happened. There was a bomb and it was set to explode when Great Britain’s Police force discovered it and called in armed forces to disarmed it and take it out of the country. There are records to this effect. Your prayers saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. 

How many of you joined us in the intercession up here to save the West Coast? [Many hands go up] That's great! All the prophets that communicated with me, and there were quite a few, said not to even bother coming up here to pray against this because it's “God's will and it's going to happen”. I told everyone who attempted to discourage me that, "I disagree with you. I don't believe it is God's will and I believe if we will go up there and pray, He will stop it. How many of you recognize that nothing happened? It's because it wasn't God's will or time. I'm not saying that every judgment, every discipline, or every natural act that has occurred would have been prevented if we would have picked up our intercessions, or even gone to that location in order to pray. I don't feel that way. However, when God says; we are dealing with the loss of lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not My will, I want you to go pray and stop it, then I come in faith because I know it's His will and if we will sit and listen to Him as to how we need to bring down the will of the enemy and supplant it with God's will - if we'll just sit and listen, He'll tell us what we need to do to save that location, to save a state, or even a nation. It's really not about us. It's really about God and what He feels is important and what He will discuss with us if we will just listen.

The Elite have planned to put into order the New World Order in September/October of next year (2015). If they succeed we are going to wish that we could go move to New Zealand. It's not going to be fun. It's going to be devastating. The New World Order was never designed to be man's friend. It is designed to be the friend of the Elite who fully intends to destroy mankind so that they can own the planet. Now, isn’t that crazy? I mean, doesn't that sound like there might be something going wrong up in their heads? 

Then, God says, "It's not time." It is going to take much prayer to stop it. We've done a lot of praying. If we had not spent the last 15 years doing all that we have been doing, praying, repenting, and interceding for America we'd lose this battle.

In the year 2000, the Lord came to me and told me what His plan was and what my role as well as those who walk with me is, He was very clear - our role is to s-a-v-e America. We've got a battle on our hands, but I want you to know 'Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world' and if we will pray and continue to pray, we will persevere and win. This is not a myth. You are going to start hearing more and more about this, about this New World Order coming in during 2015. This is only the beginning. 

You cannot, you cannot become lazy with your faith. I don't care who says it, I don't care how much they tote it, my dear friends; we can stop it if we will stand in the gap. The Lord spoke with me just a couple of weeks ago about this very thing. He said, "Your assignment is to stand in the gap for America, don't forget it." It is an awesome privilege for us to be able to stand in the gap for this country and we must honor God with that, keeping our faith strong against the desires and the wiles of the enemy. When we hear it coming, we are to shout, "NO!" You're not going to just passively sit by and let the Elite take our land!

To be continued…

In Him,

Nita Johnson
