TNP II - NEW REVELATION - NEW DIRECTION - A strategic direction leading us towards Jubilee.

NEW DIRECTION

For the entire six years, we have gathered together, we were being prepared for this day and the days to follow soon. Jubilee is only a little over six months away.  The new year begins on September 13, 2015. 

When we look back in retrospect over the last six years, it helps to understand the process that got us here. The days ahead hold great promise and we sincerely desire that each of you can find a way to connect with the teachings of Robert Henderson about the Courts of Heaven because he is the 4th independent witness to speak about the Courts of Heaven in the first few weeks of the new year. 

"In the mouth of two or three witnesses, everything will be established."

1. September 22-25, 2014 - Rosh Hashanah - I was standing in a federal judge's chambers in Downtown Minneapolis as a member of the jury who had spent 4 days in the courtroom and after deliberation, we had just handed down a guilty verdict in the 4th District Federal Court. Out of the whole experience, I think the thing that stuck with me was, no superfluous words are allowed in a courtroom, only things pertaining to the case, the facts, and the evidence, are allowed and then in great detail. The other thing that surprised me was how many witnesses the prosecuting attorney brought in I think there were eight in all.  
2. October 9-12, 2014 - Feast of Tabernacles Conference - A few weeks later during the Feast of Tabernacles Stephen Jones and others talked about making decrees in the courts of heaven regarding the end of the beast Kingdom's reign (out of the book of Daniel).
3. October 23-25, 2014  - Minnesota River Valley Conference - The speaker Jeremy compelled us to make Declarations of Justice for any who were oppressed of the enemy. He spoke of entering the Courts of Heaven for Justice's sake. 
4. October 27-November 1, 2014 - HAPN Annual Conference - The teaching series of Robert Henderson is opening our eyes to the possible purpose and scope for this group. He speaks about the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. Our job as prophetic intercessors is to say (prophecy), what we hear Jesus say (testify) in the Heavenly Court Room. This should not surprise us because, Jesus, while he was on the earth, said, I do not speak of my own accord, but I only speak (prophecy) what I hear the Father saying (testifying in Heaven). 

OUR HISTORY as a prayer group
2008-9 RELAY RACERS 

We begin praying for a subset of a local congregation, specifically the children who were involved in the Relay Racers program. 

2010 PRAYER CONTINUES, EXPANDS IN SCOPE

When the program ended, the prayer group continued. It expanded to include the leaders and the families of the local house. Individuals joined the small group over time. I myself only joined the group in mid to late 2010. 

2011-12 WORSHIP, PRAYER, prophetic songs

We branched out to include soaking music and eventually added live instrumental music. Others came from outside the local congregation and visited us. Over the years the Spirit led us to see the neighborhoods around us and the families in them.  We prayed for high school students, college students, families, and other congregations as we were led. We even prayerfully walked the neighborhood around the CFC building. 

2013 PROPHETIC ACTION - IS THIS YOUR PROMISED LAND? 

We began again to expand our vision. Don was led to drive around Mankato and pray. God asked him a question..." is this your promised land?" We began to pray for the inhabitants that were exiled 150 years prior. We initiated a 40-day prayer campaign the purpose was to see people return to the Lord. 

Unknown to us at that time, we were looking forward to 2 years prophetically to the year of Jubilee. (SEPTEMBER 13, 2015) We even declared Jubilee on the Day of Atonement in 2013. God gave us New songs about the opening of prison doors, setting the captives free, the forgiveness of all debts, and the inhabitants returning to their inheritance. Our campaign captured the attention of Intercessors connected to God's Kingdom Ministries and we started to have people from all over the world read about our adventure with the Lord. 

2014 Released from the local charter to pray extra locally. 

 On the sixth anniversary of the prayer group, the leaders decided to disband the group originally launched to pray for the kids of the house. With the new year falling on September 25th, 2014, we entered into an interesting transitional time period. We entered the Shemitah year meaning the seventh, a year of Sabbath rest for the land, and for the indentured worker. 

2015 Jubilee on the other hand is restoring inheritance, (each one returning to the place and fullness of his inheritance). Since we are a prophetic prayer group it should not be surprising that we are walking out this prophetic pattern. However, it is accurate to the letter, the pattern of Shemitah (release from), and preparing for Jubilee (release to). 

NEW DIRECTION - JUBILEE RELEASE TO A HIGHER CALL

We believe this LEARNING TO INTERCEDE IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN is the NEW direction for this prayer group and the Church. We have much to learn to take up a position as intercessors in this realm. 

1. We will pursue how to pray effectively, to: 
2. See legal decisions made in the Courts of Heaven in the favor of the saints. Remove cases against us individually and corporately throughout the region. 
3. Contend for decisions that result in the release of ourselves, our families and friends, our churches, our city, our region and our nation from the cases currently against them. 
4. To act in agreement with the Lord in a way that gives God legal permission to render proclamations for release instead of judgments.  

The cases the enemy has against us can hold back, delay or derail the fruit of the good words spoken over us, until we are ready to face the charges against us through the blood of Jesus Christ, the word of our testimony, and loving not our lives, even to the death.
