Now ...

I can almost hear someone asking:

"But you're ignoring the great commission (evangelism).

Why, oh why?"

To which I reply with this:

 

"One of Us Won An Entire Local Tribe to Christ"

"Individuals in the group have engaged in soul winning and are also mentoring souls. One of us won a tribe to Christ.  I wrote weekly teaching outlines to teach the Word of God and show them their rights now that they are born again this was done every Saturday at 5 pm as a cell meeting at their location.

Now our Church has taken over, established a worship centre for Wednesday evening service and on Sundays transportation is provided to take them to the main Church.  Praise the Lord." - Eagle Pauline

Brother Receives Jesus ... And It's Testimonies Galore!

I gave my brother the 7 Furious Prayers for this month, and he received Jesus Christ. I gave him directions as to how to pray as I have always done with others in previous months.

This morning he shared an amazing testimony; he got accepted for a PhD with a most recognized university, after waiting a very long time for acceptance and at the same time got a job paying him 3 times more than his present job.

As of yesterday morning, he has just been paid thousands of pounds in arrears - apparently, he was being over taxed in his work, hence this pay. He said all this happened in the last week and yesterday morning when he intensified in these prayers. Now he cannot wait for prayers into 2019.

***

All glory to God.

You can see a thousand more testimonies on our websites, if you so desire.

Back to the controversy on Facebook.

 

 I Stand Accused ...
And I Readily Admit My Guilt

 

Alas, it turns out not all are thrilled at the idea of drawing so close to the LORD that they could (almost) hear Him breathe.

A great example is Ms. L (name withheld to protect identity).

She recently posted this to our Facebook page:

"I joined the Prayer Academy last year but it made me so hungry spiritually for God and the Truth that I threw it all away; the Christian lies, the condemnation, the demons, etc. All I wanted was peace.

So I started studying other non-Christian spiritual texts, and other forms of "truths" that other people believe in:

astrology, numerology, and they also made sense. So I just stopped living my life under any "Christian fear" of hell, witchcraft, and the wrath of God. I am trying to understand God, who or what is he/she? But I am free, not a slave to any religion anymore."

***

 

Wow.

She makes a hasty retreat when she discovers that the teachings and prayers make her hunger for God ...

...  drawing her closer and closer to the LORD.

She becomes uncomfortable.

And throws it all away.

I only want peace, she complains.

Peace without the God of the Bible.

So, she starts looking for alternatives.

(Note to self: she really needs our prayers).

This being Facebook, many hapless souls chime in their support for her "bold and courageous" decision.

They accuse yours truly of peddling scary stuff ...

... instead of telling them what they want to hear.

Something to bring them reassurance and calm their troubled souls.

***
"But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt." - Isa. 57:20

 "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked." - Isa. 48:22

 ***

This got me thinking.

When you talk of scary sermons or messages, do you know what the gold standard is?

No, its not in the Bible.

It is an acidic sermon preached in 1741 by an evangelical minister named Bernard Edwards.

The title of his message?

"Sinners in The Hands of An Angry God"

A sermon for the record books.

It was the darkest, scariest message ever preached, in my humble opinion.

But mystery of mysteries...

Instead of people running for the hills, that one message sparked something known as ...

The Great Awakening

I mean, while the message was going on, people were groaning and screaming out aloud:

"What must I do to be saved?"

The imagery of hell was so vivid and powerful that many people could actually see themselves being tossed into the lake of fire.

Some said they could smell their own flesh burning.

Warning those who reject the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ...

... the preacher explained (in frightening detail) what to expect should they choose to continue that way:

***

"Their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do now rage and glow.

The glittering sword is whetted, and held over them, and the pit hath opened its mouth under them. The devil stands ready to fall upon them, and seize them as his own, at what moment God shall permit him."

***

A doomsday sermon, if there ever was one.

But it laid the foundation and gave the impetus ... and motivated thousands of American missionaries to go all over the earth, with renewed urgency...

-         To spread the undiluted gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ

-         Open the door of salvation to countless millions

-         Build hospitals and schools and charities

-         Transform entire communities with the message of the gospel

-         And bring light into the darkest corners of the globe

So, I made a decision.

Not to be scary for scary sake but ...

... NEVER to shy away from tough messages and crazy-sounding prayer bullets so long as they serve the sole purpose of making prophets out of ordinary believers who...

... up to now, have been satisfied with living like mediocre or second-hand Christians...

... desperately clinging to, and depending on, others to tell them what the LORD might be saying. 

And oh... by the way: 

While Ms. L was busy posting about how she has decided to run away from the Living God, at the exact same moment, a Prayer Eagle was posting something quite the opposite...

... on the same Facebook page.

His name is Prince Patrick.

He explains:

***

"The prayers taught by elisha are a must learn and have for every believer.

Like Moses when he said 'I wish that all were prophets', elisha is actually turning that into reality and making a prophet in every believer who dares to follow up with these prayers and commit to them with fervent desire and intensity.

I challenge every believer in Christ to seriously ponder enrolling in the prayer Academy before Jesus comes and you will begin to live the best part of your Christian life so far.

I just started mine months ago and these months have been the most peaceful and rewarding months I have ever had even in the most difficult of situations I have peace and unspeakable joy.

God bless you as you begin this journey of real prayer with elisha by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT."

*** 

There you have it.

Same Facebook page. Two opposing views.

Enough said.

I mentioned that not all are thrilled by this kind of teachings.

One of my assignments is to use the Internet to mentor and coach anyone who might be interested in becoming modern-day prayer eagles (a.k.a. their own personal prophets).

The proteges that I mentor are beginning to see a surprising level of hostility and opposition from unexpected quarters.

They operate from 117 countries around the world.

On Christmas day, one of them sent me a long field report from her base in the USA.

Some excerpts:

 ***

Dear Elisha,

I am the one who sent you a report on 12th October, 2018 on how God is using me to mentor women through Whatsapp groups.

Then we had 4 groups. I later updated my report in the Platinum Forum and then we had 8 Whatsapp groups.

I am here to give you all the updates so that you should know that that you did not coach me in vain.

From 1st October when we rolled out the first 4 Whatsapp groups, there has been overwhelming response.

As I am writing this email Elisha we have 30 Whatsapp groups. Yes you heard me well, 30 groups.

At first, I mentored women only but when their husbands noticed how their wives were becoming prayer warriors in the homes, they pushed till they filled my inbox with requests that I should also consider them.

Now I am glad to report that almost 10% of the people I am mentoring are men.

God has been so faithful Elisha, very faithful. We have mind blowing testimonies which have shocked my country and everyone wants to join our groups.

I tell you a Whatsapp group once opened takes literally not more than 20 minutes to get full, I am talking of 257 people. Everyone asks where and how I get those people, I just tell them God is still on the throne and He reigns.

Like the early church, we mobilize resources among ourselves and reach out to the less privileged both within our groups and outside.

We have also managed to rescue a number of youths who dropped out of school and we are paying for them.

Whenever we identify women who are living in poverty, we give them  startup capital each and their living standards have improved tremendously.

 . . .

All this while we have been using the Prayer Cookbook for Busy People and the Dream Code so that every member should go through the foundational prayers and be able to interpret their dreams.

However, we have faced battles too from all angles. Mega churches fighting us because now people have stopped running from one prophet to another and are busy praying for themselves and their loved ones.

Every Friday all the groups embark on Esther Fasting and everyone is used to our prayer schedules. We have never responded to any insults or criticisms.

Praise the LORD.

More power to this precious Eagle in the frontlines.

I don't want to bore you, so I'll keep it short this year.

If you crave this type of stuff I'm "peddling" here...

How To Stop Your Divine Blessings In 2019 From Running Away Like Wild Horses Of The Hills

 

For now it is time to begin with our classic message at the gates of the New Year.

Before we go one step further, please let's pause for prayers.

Please close your eyes and take these 3 prayers like a volcanic eruption.

1.      O LORD give me seeing eyes and hearing ears in the spirit.

2.     O LORD let a mighty portion of your anointing fall upon me now in the name of Jesus.

3.     Let the fear of the LORD come upon my enemies⁺ all through 2019 in the name of Jesus Christ.

Now we're ready.

⁺Note: Anytime you come across the word "enemy" in our teachings please remember that we are not referring to human beings. Our enemies are spiritual - see Ephesians 6:12.

 

As We Prepare to Crossover Into The New Year

 

There are 3 key principles that you need to arm yourself with.

Here's the VERY first one. And you need to apply it diligently at the "gate" i.e. midnight as Dec 31, 2018 transitions into Jan 1, 2019.

(The rest I will continue to share step by step in the Prayer Academy and the SAPPHIRE program coming up after this). 

If you're ready, let's go...

We'll open this section with a short prayer.

Please just close your eyes where you are now and take this singular prayer point with fire in your spirit:

"O LORD, open my spiritual understanding today
in the name of Jesus. Amen."

Let's start off by looking at the popular story of the ten virgins.

In Matthew 25:1-10 we read:

 

***

 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

They that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."
 

***

This is a familiar story.

Two phrases are of particular interest to us here:

(i)      At midnight there was a cry made...

(ii)     And the door was shut...

We pull out the first 2 keys from the verses above.

Here is Key #1...

Midnight is the time when "doors" are spiritually shut against people in the realm of the spirit. 

Then Key #2...

It is also a time when satanic cries are made against people by the evil powers operating along the bloodlines of their families.

Please hold these thoughts while we back up to Psalm 24:7-10:

 ***

 "Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory."

 ***

 Again we see the word "doors" but this time, at the appearance of a Superior, Sovereign Power...

 ... Instead of being shut, the door (and gates) are being commanded to "lift up" i.e. to open immediately.

Putting what we've read so far together, we arrive at the inescapable conclusion that doors can be opened and shut in the spiritual realm.

These "doors" might be invisible to the carnal eye.

They are spiritual realities all the same.

In many places in the Bible, we see references to doors and gates.

For instance, we find them at:

-         the entry point to cities (1 Kings 17)

-         temples (Acts 3)

-         prisons (Acts 12)

-         and palaces (Esther 5)     

At the gates of the city, important decisions and verdicts were handed down.

Controversies were settled there.

Deals were cut and transactions sealed at the gate.

Honor was bestowed at the gate.

Blessings were pronounced at the gate...

And curses were issued as punishment for offences at the gate.

In fact, the gate played such a pivotal role in the life of any community that in times of war...

 The enemy's first order of business was to seize control of the gate!

 What's this got to do with the New Year?

You can liken the New Year to a well-fortified city with a strong gate.

The gate is the entry point into the city.

 

Please Listen Carefully...

 

 For the purpose of this conversation...

 The door or gate of the New Year is currently shut.

It is supposed to swing open IN THE SPIRIT at 12 midnight on January 1st.

Notice that I used the word, 'supposed' ... that is what should happen in an ideal situation...

The reality, however, is that for most people, the gate of the New Year never truly opens to them spiritually...

... it remains tightly shut against them year after year, often without their knowledge!

 Why is this so?

The Bible reveals that there are invisible "horsemen setting themselves in array at the gate" (Isaiah 22:7).

And here's the SECRET:

 The entrance or gate to the New Year is the midnight hour between December 31 and January 1st.

The truth remains that this gate is the point of the hottest spiritual battle you can think of.

 Whoever takes control of that gate in the crucial first few seconds of the New Year determines what happens throughout the entire year!

 What I'm sharing with you is well-understood by the children of darkness.

No wonder our Lord Jesus once said:

... for the children of this world are in their generation wiser
than the children of light - Luke 16:8b

At the critical midnight hour between December 31st and January 1st the children of this world (darkness) ...

... that the Lord Jesus is referring to here will be busy taking off in their evil aircraft and making evil prophetic pronouncements to...

1.       renew age-old bondages

     2.     capture the entire year spiritually (and shut the gates of the next 12 months against ignorant people).

At this exact same time, most modern-day believers will be dancing and partying the night away!

Unknown to them --

At this critical hour of midnight when the new year is being "delivered" (think of a woman in labor), whatever decrees are issued (good or bad) have the capacity to alter the destiny of an individual, family or nation.

Let's bring this closer to home...

You remember how many prophecies of greatness and prosperity that Christians usually receive at the beginning of every year?

How many of them ever come to pass?

You know why?

At the most critical first few seconds of the New Year, the enemy gets busy "shutting the gate" and cancelling those prophecies by issuing ungodly decrees against people, using words anointed with satanic power!

No wonder:

-         Doors of opportunity remained tightly shut throughout the year.

-         The heavens refused to open and pour out the expected blessings in abundance.

-         Divine benefits refused to manifest...

-         Divine helpers were nowhere to be found...

-         Most prayers went unanswered... leaving so many believers scratching their heads.

If you keep records of all the wonderful prophecies received every New Year (like I do) you'll realize that most of them NEVER come to pass.

It doesn't matter how many great men or women of God prophesied.

Why?

Because most Christians allow the enemy (either out of ignorance or sheer laziness) to take control of the GATES when it mattered most... 

... at the critical moment of transition... when most people are in slumber.

You see, in the spiritual realm, just one second's delay can cost a person an entire year.

Like the prayer bullets you will see shortly, if you were to pray them at any other time of the year, you won't achieve the same results ...

[except in very few cases which we will discuss at various times during the year in the Members' Forum].

Thankfully, the Lord has not left us ignorant about this matter.

14 years ago, He gave us a battle plan which has never failed.

If we execute on this plan diligently...

These 90 minutes AT THE GATE could save you 9 months of frustration, disappointment and sorrow. 

 

How To Pray Into Year 2019       

 

Here's the order of events:  

Level 0  -    Storming the Gate of 2019 (public event for all) 

Level 1  -    2019 Prayer Academy (New members - access required) 

Level 2  -    Sapphire 2019 Edition (PA Graduates  - access required)  

 

How To Be An Overcomer With This Year's Prayers
 

As we approach the start of the program on December 30, 2018...

... there are 2 simple, but VERY crucial, steps you must take, if you really want to see the finger of God manifest speedily on your behalf: 

 

Simple Step #1:

Make Doubly Sure JESUS

Is In the Driver's Seat of Your Boat 

 

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done,  but according to his mercy he saved us..." - Titus 3:5
  

No matter how far you may have strayed from the LORD this year, He wants you back NOW. 

He is able and willing to forgive your sins, cleanse you and give you a fresh new start in 2019... if only you'd go on your knees and cry out for His mercy NOW. 

YES, it is up to you to open the door of your heart for Him to come in and do a work of transformation in your life right now. 

Please take a moment to do this, if you need to ... before you even think of going further.   

Simple Step #2:

All Secret Sins Must Go

(And I Do Mean ALL)

 

 Realize that God sees your heart even now as you read this. He knows what you do in secret. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins, mine and that of the whole world. 

Of course, this might sound like foolishness to the people of the world (in the secular world I meet "sophisticated" people all the time who say so). 

But you know the Bible says:  

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. - 1 Cor.1:18

 Since you have read up to this point, I believe you are NOT one of those who are perishing.

So, let me congratulate you for that! 

About our Lord Jesus Christ, we are assured this:

*** 

Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree
 - 1 Peter 2:24 

*** 

Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood
 - Rev. 1:5

***       

If you are new to this... 

I must alert you that if you follow these 2 simple steps above with all sincerity ...

... before even firing the opening shots, you may not be able to handle the flood of peace and joy that will invade your heart ... 

... not to mention the testimonies that are sure to follow. 

Last year by this time I challenged those who went through these simple steps diligently to get ready for an overflow of breakthroughs in their lives. 

They were NOT disappointed. 

Before we got to DAY 3 of the program, our testimony inbox was filling up so fast we had to redirect people to go to the blog to post their testimonies under the COMMENT section with their own hands! 

Praise the LORD who delights in answering the prayers of His people.

Very Important:

The Proper Way to Break a Fast
(Suggestion only - not medical advice !)

  

You should not eat heavy meals at least 2 days before a long fast. Rather you should take MORE fruits and drink a lot of water. 

When you break your fast, you should never break with solid food. You must break slowly. DO not take any cold water or drinks. Warm water is preferable. Eat fruits such as oranges, paw-paw, etc. for a while and drink a lot of water before attempting to eat any solid food. 

When you have been on a long fast, you will need some days to slowly break. For instance, if you fasted for 7 days, you'll need another 3 days to slowly break - meaning in the following 3 days you should be on a diet of fruits and water, before introducing any heavy food. 

This is because the end of a long fast is the most delicate time of a fast. For those who did not conquer their appetite during the fast, there is a danger that they might overeat right after the fast, thereby causing severe problems for themselves. 

In the event of that happening, quickly stop eating and begin another fast without food and water for at least 2 days and you should be alright. 

Let me repeat this:

Please NOTE that this is not a medical prescription. Always seek the advice of your doctor before taking any action that could affect your health. What I have just said here should NOT be taken as medical advice. 

***

Now to the prayers... 

All the prayers should be prayed AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. You should also find time during the day to continue with the prayers. 

If, however, because of your work schedule, you are not able to pray at the midnight hour, then you should pray VERY early in the morning before 6:00 AM. 

No excuses please. 

If you do this diligently, you will surely experience the visitation of the LORD, the One who ordained this program. 

For reasons of space and time, we can only pray a tiny fraction of these prayers here. 

But right after the 14-day prayers at the gate of 2019, we will continue (without any break) with the follow-up programs I've mentioned already.
