I sought for a man among   them, that should make up   the   hedge, and stand   in   the   gap   before me for   the land , that I should not destroy it: but I found none.                                                     Ezekiel 22:30 We have been told that this prayer group is somewhat unique, and we believe it was founded by the will of God. They say, How many churches do you think have a prophetic intercessor group, made up almost exclusively of males?  We have been me

Exiles came back home to God and physical plots of land. their inheritance. You might ask me, why am I writing about this now? Well, I just rediscovered today, that this is also the seventh (sabbath) year from the day in 2006  when David Richards, flew into Minneapolis and then drove to Mankato on September 16th, 2006, and saw in my story what others could not see. He saw the apostolic lockdown placed on my life by Steve Y. because of false accusations during the leadership transition of 2000. David released me that day and in fact, the first several posts on this blog are from the fall of 2006 through

I was both agitated and bored at the same time. It could have been a God initiated dissatisfaction, to get me to become motivated to connect with Him in prayer.  After several minutes of slow, soft worship, I decided, I needed to slip outside to walk and pray. I excused myself, as I slid out of the row. I grabbed my jacket off the back of my chair and turned for the foyer.  Once in the foyer, I was in the process putting my jacket on as I was headed toward the door. A brother came up behind me suddenly and said, “Hey, where are you going?”   I said, "I was

Psalm 149:2 Be glad of heart, O believer, but take care that your gladness has its spring in the Lord. you have much cause for gladness in thy God, for you can sing with David, "God, my exceeding joy." Be glad that the Lord reigns, that Jehovah is King! Rejoice that he sits upon the throne, and rules all things! Every attribute of God should become a fresh ray in the sunlight of our gladness. That He is wise should make us glad, knowing as we do our own foolishness. That He is mighty, should cause us to rejoice who tremble at our weakness. That He is everlasting, should always be a t

Every Thursday evening we gather for prayer and these are the things God has shared with us... ------- Tonight there were two themes the first was perfect loves casts out fear and folks shared out of the gospel of John and the first epistle of John about love. The second theme was out of Ezekiel 37, can these dry bones live? 37  The hand of the  Lord  was on me,  and he brought me out by the Spirit  of the  Lord  and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.   2  He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry .   3   He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “So

We need the baptism by fire and by the Holy Spirit, we need to have the fire test our works. Whether they be of precious metals and gem stones or of hay, wood and stubble I read this blog recently as I was looking for images of the Flint Hills area of Kansas and I found this picture and an article describing the benefits of fire to bring multiplied fruitfulness. The need to burn,   ranchers in central Kansas have learned that burning off the land causes a new crop of grass to quickly spring up (a sort of first fruits) that is very helpful to the cattle, it fatten

At that time we blew the shofar and declared Jubilee over this region and a returning of inhabitants to the land.  Afterward, the sun went down, and we had the feast of David when he brought the ark of the Presence into the Tabernacle of David. Scripture records that When the ark was settled in its place David gave to every person in Israel: A loaf of bread  A piece of meat.  A cake of Raisins We even had some cakes of figs, as a bonus, (fig newtons) we gathered at the local Arby's roast beef, where we each received a small "loaf of Bread and a small piece of sliced meat, someone had brought small boxes of raisins a

During the recent prayer campaign someone suggested that I put some of the spontaneous songs that have been coming forth in the prayer group out here on the blog... Well, I haven't recorded any of them yet, but I thought I would put the chords sheet out here and then follow later with the audio track.
