Subject: World for Jesus E-Newsletter- "Preparing Our Dwelling Place" Part 8A

Dear Friends,

I come before you on behalf of World for Jesus Ministries, Joel’s Army, and CedarWood to extend our deepest sorrow over the events that have taken place in our country this past week. The enemy is certainly persistent in wreaking havoc over our nation whenever the opportunity arises. He never tires of provoking wrath to interfere with or prevent healing from taking place in a Nation. Our thoughts, love and prayers go out to those impacted in these terrible and senseless acts of violence on the people of this Nation.

Events such as these can bring clarity of thought and true purpose to the children of God. Remember we have Him, we know our eternal home awaits us, and we understand how crucial it is to remain prayerful while in this temporal abode. Those in the world have none of this…this is when the child of God must step up and extend a hand of strength and comfort to others.

I want to remind you that God ordained the creation of this Nation knowing it would be a vessel of His Light unto all the earth. In times such as these, we must remember to represent His Light here at home as well. We are called to be peace in times of anguish, a stabilizing force in times of turmoil, and a rock on which to help those whose lives have been shattered, begin to rebuild.

Over the next several weeks as these events are politicized, individuals are demonized, and decisions are made that will, in fact, affect us all, I encourage you to remember what Paul wrote to Timothy, his son in the faith, the one Paul would pass the baton to when his time on earth came to a close. I Timothy 1:1-4 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for Kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

Our responsibility is to pray for our leaders that it may go well with us. As such, it is important that we pray for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and discernment to be given them as they make decisions affecting our country. Remember, the end goal of our Nation is to be a Light unto all Nations, let us never forget our part as children of the Most High God is to ensure that this commission is fulfilled.

Blessings & love,

Ricci Wilson

"Preparing Our Dwelling Place"

Part 8A

By Ricci Wilson


Opening Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I ask that You release Your Spirit to teach us from Your Word tonight. I pray that You would encourage, strengthen, and help prepare us for the days ahead through our time together. I pray that you would bring forth Your Word into our lives and make it tangible so we can carry it into the days ahead. Thank You, Lord, thank You for the beauty of Your Word. In Your precious and holy name, Amen.

I spend a lot of time pouring over these messages to ensure I have the Lord’s heart for the hour. As I pray and study His Word, I always submit the time to the Lord. Today I had quite a few scriptures lined up, with little study notes to help prepare us for the days ahead. Yet, the Lord kept bringing me back to prayer, the beauty and the victories of prayer, and I feel I’m supposed to share some victories with you.

2 Chronicles 7:14-16
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.”

“…and Pray.”

Last year, at the DC Gathering of the Eagles, one of the issues the Lord had us pray over was abortion. This is a heart-wrenching issue that we have prayed into many times in the past.

I’d like to interject the following here:

The Lord instructed us to pick the issue of abortion because of the season we are in. Never have we had a President so determined to see Roe v. Wade overturned and he’s been very public about this issue. (This is why the confirmation of the Supreme Court nominees is so crucial and why Kavanaugh was so ferociously attacked.) One of the major reasons why the attacks against President Trump have been so relentless is because of his stance on abortion and, to be honest, human trafficking. When we see a man driven to end human trafficking and abortion, yet so persecuted over unfounded issues, it’s time to look at who is bankrolling those persecuting him. Abortion and human trafficking are each billion-dollar industries. We must remember to think critically and analyze the facts rather than allow ourselves to be spoon-fed a liberal narrative by the media. The media is not interested in truth.

Back to the message:

Over the years, we have had some very deep repentance over abortion in the Gathering of the Eagles. I’ve done the presentations for those sessions and it is always a very, very difficult presentation. Through the years we have had breakthroughs, but in this particular GOE, the Lord began to restructure things and I felt that I was to share some of those things with you to encourage your faith.

Why? The Lord said, “If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.” I’m here to tell you, the Lord is healing our land because we (the intercessors) have humbled ourselves before Him and sought His face. Our tears are not for our own needs, but for the needs of those who cannot fight for themselves—the innocent—and He has heard our cry.

During March of 2018, the Lord guided us through a time of repenting for the destruction of the family unit. We repented for several issues, from human trafficking to abortion. We also repented over the removal of the Bible and prayer from our public-school system. We even repented for the Women’s Rights Movement. Why? This was part of the plan by the enemy to destroy the family unit. How? When mothers are pulled from the home and told that their worth is founded in their career rather than raising their family, their focus transitions from raising up Godly children to achieving success in their career. This creates a vulnerability in the minds and hearts of children. Please understand, my intent is not to offend here; this prayer focus was a directive from the Lord.

Consider who bankrolled this movement: Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. Yes, these two almost single-handedly funded the Women’s Rights Movement. Why would they do this and how? If an individual’s worth is anchored to their career, the value they place on their children can and will be diminished. Half the battle to convince a woman to have an abortion is won when they cannot see the beauty and strength found in raising a child. Next, they strive to bring division within the family unit, division between the husband and wife and between the parents and children. Why? If they can separate and bring these little ones out into a situation where they are vulnerable and alone, they can effectively attack that next generation.

I feel I need to interject something here. I am not saying that women should not work; my mom had to work, I had to work. Often we do have to work outside the home but that’s why ensuring our priorities are straight is crucial. My emphasis here is to speak to the heart and motive behind the Women’s Rights Movement. It was not pure, and their intent was not to give women rights; it was launched and funded with the intent to bring destruction to the family unit. We need to learn to see sin and corruption for what it is rather than embracing the narrative the creators of these “movements” feed us. We are to be wise as serpents yet harmless as doves, amen? Amen!

To be continued next week…

Ricci
