Nigeria: please keep the crisis in Nigeria in your daily prayers. There is nothing short of a genocide occurring here and they need our intercessions.

He said, “Now I am going to show you another secret.” He pushed both of us off and down we went through the murky substance to the earth. Each of us found someone else and told him to follow us because we knew the way to God. Up we flew through the curse and now we were four. He said to me, “That is what I am going to do in the last days.” Aspire with desire—dare to believe; it is not easy but it is doable. If you really believe, your life changes because you become very thirsty. You come out of the desert where it has been a long and very hot walk.

This place in which you have been living is a desert and you have been reaching for water that will fill your thirsty soul. How desperate will be your reach if the only glass of water is above the curse? Will you be apathetic? What are you willing to put into your effort; how much time will you spend in prayer? What will you do to let God purge you, purify you, remove the world from you so that He can fill you with His kingdom? How much time will you spend in the Word? If you believe, you are going to put everything you have into the race and I can promise you the devil will knock you down but that is okay because if you believe, you will get back up and be even stronger. You will go a little further and then he will knock you down again—I promise. But that’s okay because when you get up again you will be stronger still. Next time he tries to knock you down it will not be so easy and so on. You get stronger, wiser and closer—but you have to fight the good fight of faith. You must fight it because God will not do it for you, but He will fight with you. He will pull you up when you cannot pull yourself up, as long as you engage your will and fight to pull yourself up. Your will has to be engaged; only what you will is what you will have. The “want to” does not do much good in the Kingdom. You must want to want it! He says, “Engage your will; run the marathon.” How many of you want to run the marathon and how many of you will actually run it? The Church is full of Christians like this. You must engage your will and run the marathon of your faith.

You say you are not sure if God wants this for you; well, if you were created you were created to be owned by Him. He wants you to come all the way and when He sees you fighting to stay in the race, He will always run it with you. The time is coming, and is close at hand, when thoroughbreds, those who have paid the price to get out of the world and into God, will be released. The thoroughbreds are the horses with flames of fire, the chariots of God. They are going to be released in the Church and are going to gather those who are hungry, thirsty and tired of this world; those who want to be free of the oppressions of Egypt; those who want to arise and know God.

My dear brothers and sisters, please listen to me – there is nothing in this world worth giving up the privilege of knowing the depths of God. To behold His face and to stand in His presence, to become one with Him and know the intimacy that the – on knew with the Father. What should you give for such a reward? I can tell you—give everything! It will cost you everything; the thing hardest for you to give is your reputation, your face, your will, your rights; all that encompasses the “me” factor. It is tough to give it up but He is worth it. What He gives in return – “All that is Mine is yours” – demonstrates the truth of this.

What is about to emerge, and is even now starting, is nothing less than a prophetic revolution. That is what we call it when our mind, understanding and vision is suddenly opened to the kingdom of God. We call it “prophetic” – being able to hold what is truly real and “revolutionary”. When you behold what is truly real, it creates the same reality within you. When you are caught up in this revolution within your own heart, you also bring to your world the same revolution. Everyone you meet will be affected by it. The kingdom will continue to grow, intensify, and enlarge. The revelation in your inner man will grow, intensify, and enlarge. Changes will occur when you are saturated with the light and the truth of who He is and what He is doing. You cannot sit still and you have got to move with it and be who you were created in order to be a part of it.

It is no longer just trying to be a good Christian; rather, you are moving within the wheel of the force of God and this is what is coming: the Church filled with faith, beauty, and the virtues of Christ – glory, honor, wisdom, and knowledge. Supernatural knowledge of the past or knowledge of the future; whatever you need, it is yours. Run the race, claim the victory. Run in God, do not sit still or say that you cannot or will not run.

Feel the fire; do not let it be put out. If you go home and turn your television, on I am going to slap your hands; go home and worship Him. Praise Him and get into the Word. Ask Him how to run and what you should do. God selected what is “foolish” to the world to put the wise to shame, what the world calls “weak” to put the strong to shame. Are you low-born, foolish and weak? Then run! I love this passage because it removes every excuse man uses for not running. He is saying, “You are the one I want! And I want you so I can bring the wise to shame, I want you to bring the high-born down, I want you so I can be glorified!”

For I resolve to know nothing, to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified; that is the key to all things in God. When His glory fills the temple, the priests cannot stand for the glory; and who are the priests? Are they not you?

In Him,
Nita Johnson
