We are excited to announce details for the Second Kingdom Congress(register below)! Please join us on Saturday, October 4, 2014 at Renton Technical College, where we will continue the historic work we began last month to unite the body of Christ for the glory of King Jesus and the work of transformation in Washington State.

At the First Kingdom Congress, held on August 22nd at Sonrise Christian Center, more than 150 leaders from government, business, education, ministry, and other spheres gathered to exalt the name of Jesus over our state and issue a response to the Goliath-sized challenges of our day. Is there not a cause?!

Together, we made significant strides in the effort to:

• Mobilize 31 churches and houses of prayer to raise a canopy of 24/7 prayer over our state, push back the army of darkness, and exalt the name of Jesus over our cities, counties, and state.
• Gather strategic councils of leaders in each of the seven spheres of society (business, government, education, media/arts, healthcare, family, and the church) and the five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers)
• Implement a plan by which the councils can inform the 24/7 prayer effort, and by which churches and houses of prayer can report what they are hearing from the Lord. This flow of spiritual and natural intelligence will help leaders in both the church and the seven spheres to implement the strategies of heaven and position everyday believers for a work of transformation such as we have never seen in our state!

From Inspiration to Activation

At the founding of our nation, the First Continental Congress served to inspire the colonists to action, but it wasn't until the Second Continental Congress that the Patriots began operating in a united, coordinated effort. Key delegates such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson who were not present at the first congress also joined the cause at that time.

On October 4, 2014 at the Second Kingdom Congress, we will... 

Thank you to those of you who were able to join us at the First Kingdom Congress last Friday evening in Everett. What a time we had! More than 150 leaders from government, business, education, ministry, and other spheres gathered to exalt King Jesus over our state and issue a response to the Goliath-sized challenges of our day. Is there not a cause?!

The vision presented at the First Kingdom Congress was one of corporate unity and projected power in the body of Christ. The consensus of those that gathered was, "Why not us, and why not now?" We are on the cusp of a historic new work of cooperation and unity in the Church of Washington State, one that will see the elders return to the gates of our cities, and the watch of the Lord establish a wall of prayer around the state.

For those of you who were not able to come, we invite you to join us on October 3, 2014 for the Second Kingdom Congress, where we will continue to unfold the plan for 1Church1Day (www.1church1day.org), the strategy for linking the body in a continual prayer watch for our state and gathering leaders from each of the seven spheres of society into strategic councils. These two efforts, combined with the communication plan that will link them, will provide valuable spiritual and natural intelligence for how to position the Church for
transformation in our state.

Between now and the Second Kingdom Congress, we also invite you to learn more about the vision at http://www.1church1day.org/and sign up there for the 1Church1Day mailing list to receive updates, articles, and information about upcoming training for the work we'll be doing together.

Ten years ago, I was working in the office of Apostle John Kelly in Texas. It was September of 2004, and I traveled with Apostle Kelly to Spain to assist as a translator and administrative assistant for meetings with Spain’s top apostolic leaders. The purpose was to assist them in determining and
  mobilizing the Lord’s strategy for advancing the Kingdom of God in their nation. 

The timing of this gathering was strategically planned on the heels of a major worship and prayer event occurring in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, a top pilgrimage site for Catholics all over Europe. This location had been identified as a stronghold of the Queen of Heaven over Spain, affecting much of Europe. Doris and Peter Wagner, as well as Chuck Pierce, called upon prayer leaders and worshippers of Jesus from around the world to gather at Santiago de Compostela to exalt the name of the Lord, war against the stronghold of the Queen of Heaven there, and see Spain step into her kingdom destiny—a destiny that would have far reaching effects on all of Europe (see more
http://ecaleaders.eu/maler/convenors-blog/article/410131). 

God had given John Kelly a mandate to follow on the heels of this event with an activation of Spain’s apostolic leaders in order to capitalize on the gains in the Spirit achieved through prayer efforts. Once in Spain, I was privileged to sit in on meetings both public and private meetings with these servant leaders who God had called to influence the destiny of a nation. I witnessed as they took counsel together about the Lord’s plans for Spain and what He would have them to do to join Him in His work.

As the meetings went on, however, I became a little discouraged. Although these apostles had no doubt been called and commissioned by the Lord to impact their nation, although they possessed a desire to work together, and although they were full of vision and carried an anointing to bring change, there was no infrastructure for administrating their corporate goals. Questions emerged about whose office would oversee communications. How would planning and logistics for joint efforts be approached? How would the budget for their 
corporate vision be handled? Here was a people who knew they should work together, who were receiving prophetic direction for working together, who wanted to work together—but the critical components of communication and administration were lacking.

There is a tyranny facing our nation today that looms as large as Goliath did when he defied the armies of Israel.  The answer is the same now as it was then; a David; actually a company of David's who will rise with courage and run to meet the giants of our day.

Our nation was founded by a people who sought freedom from a government who encroached first on their religious liberties and then spilled over into other areas.  When the early colonist no longer found they could redress their issues with the king, they appealed to God and heaven. This cry was formalized in an ensign when George Washington commissioned the formation of a navy to assist his army in their cause.

The attacks levied today against the family, life, and now religious freedom are clear.  The situation is no less dire than in the founding of our nation and the need to appeal to heaven is urgent. God looks for a people who will respond like David did when he cried "is there not a cause?" (1 Sam 17:29)

The "Appeal to Heaven" was accompanied by the formation of a congress.  A congress by its very definition is a formal meeting or assembly of representatives who gather for the discussion, arrangement, or promotion of some matter of common interest. It is a meeting; an encounter.  The First Continental Congress launched a process which led to the founding of these United States.

Calling Christian Leaders from all Seven Spheres of Society
With this in mind we are calling forth the First Kingdom Conference of Washington State. We seek Christian representatives from all seven spheres of society (church, business, government, media/entertainment, healthcare, and the family) who like David, will have the courage to appeal to heaven and then act upon heavens direction.

What do we expect from this First Kingdom Congress? Recognizing that the Church is the Lord's primary purveyor of His kingdom, we expect to start a process modeled after a pattern that King David established that will lead to the:

• Formulate strategic councils representing the seven spheres of society and the five-fold ministry in Washington State
• Mobilize and connect churches and houses of prayer to raise a canopy of 24/7 prayer that will project power to push back the army of darkness in our cities, counties, and state.
• Unify these efforts to receive the wisdom of God for a spiritual reformation in our state

Dr. Dan Hammer and Tim Taylor would like to invite you to join us on August 22nd to launch a long term strategic process at: 

Why does it seem like the world is going crazy?   Matthew 24:12 sheds some light as to why.  

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. " NKJV

The Greek word translated lawlessness here means "illegal violation of the law, wickedness, iniquity, and unrighteousness.  It comes from a word that means lawless."  It is either breaking established boundaries or operating outside of boundaries wether knowingly or in ignorance.

The word abound means multiply and the word translated love refers to the "agape" unconditional love of God.  

The word translated "cold" is fascinating and sheds tremendous light.  The Greek word translated cold is actually "psycho."  In the Greek it means to breathe on something so as to reduce the tempature or make it cool.  This word also serves as the basis for our modern understanding of "psycho" used in words such as a psychopathic or psychotic person.  Dictionary.com says these are crazy or mentally unstable.     

Matthew 24:12 means "and because lawlessness, people acting as if there are no absolutes, boundaries or eternal laws, continue to multply their love for God wains and they act like they've lost their mind doing crazy things."  

The truth is without the love of God people go crazy and do stupid things.  Sin makes people stupid.  Stupid refers to a dulled, foolish or senseless mind.     

Excerpt from Aligning with the Apostolic Volume III - 
"The Spiritual Architect" by Tim Taylor 

As a king, David had responsibility for how all of the spheres of society connected and interacted.  I believe the seven mountain concept is like a modern day parable.  It helps us to understand an aspect or a certain view of the kingdom God wants His people to establish.   

The first decision King David made to begin to expand the kingdom was to set up a tent on Mount Zion and he established an administration of teams to ensure that God’s abiding presence was always welcome in his city.  After this was established we see all through 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles that David’s armies saw victory after victory.  They acquired spoil from these victories. 

It is important to understand that King David was also a skillful general.  He had learned the art of war.  This skill is also an aspect of the apostolic gift.  Here are a couple of excerpts from Developing Apostolic Strategy that will shed some light on this aspect of the apostolic gift.

The word apostle was first a Greek/Phoenician seafaring term that meant leader of a convoy of ships.  Later it came to refer to the commander of an invasion force.  As time went on the Romans used it to refer to former generals who then became ambassadors.  The Jewish culture eventually began to use it when speaking of an envoy who collected tribute.  Finally, Jesus used it speaking of the first 12 disciples.  In summary the history of the word meant:

·         The leader of a convoy of ships

·         The commander of an invasion force

·         An ambassador general sent to represent a government to another nation 

Excerpt from Aligning with the Apostolic Volume III - "The Spiritual Architect" by Tim Taylor

1 Corinthians 3:9-11
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.  For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. NKJV

Paul the apostle is the one who penned this portion of scripture which provides keen insight into another aspect of the apostolic gift, its role and its order.  He describes himself as a “master builder.”  The Greek word translated “master builder” literally means chief architect.  Architects are the first ones to work on a project and design plans which move a structure from vision into reality.  These plans provide the pattern from which the general contractor and all of the sub-contractors work from. 

This is why in 1 Corinthians 12:28 apostles go first, prophets second and teachers third.  It is an order of function.  God has uniquely designed this gift with revelation and wisdom to build.  This gift working with the prophet lays the foundation for all of the rest of the gifts to successfully build their part while interacting with the rest of the team.

Attention Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle

Two days ago I received a call from a prophet (seer) I know. I discovered Tim McClellan 7 years ago through Operation Rolling Thunder.  He has a well developed gift and he has submitted words for over the last 7 years and I (we) have found them to be accurate.  He is also a man of character and submitted to one of my sons in the Lord (Jason Hubbard).

Tim  reported that he had two dreams on April 17, 2013

He saw jet trails (contrails) flying from South America (southern portion of the continent) over the Pacific Ocean then it turned right, split in two and one went to Los Angeles and the other to San Francisco.  He went back to sleep and saw the same thing going into Seattle.  

The word he got was that judgment was coming to these cities and he was to sound the alarm and mobilize the Church to pray.  We are to pray like Jeremiah and Amos prayed asking the Lord to relent.  

1 Corinthians 14:29 says let the prophets speak two or three and let the others judge.  In keeping with the mandate we've received from the Lord I have begun to form a prophets council made up of proven prophets we work with across the nation.  In collaboration with other apostles and teachers we will use the Word of God and our discernment to decide if it is from the Lord and if so, what action is required.    

Hebrews 2:4  -  God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with
various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? 

We invited Al Houghton as the primary speaker during our Key of David II conference. Revelation says that we are called to be "kings and priests."  The Church today excels in the priestly function but is weak when it comes to performing the functions of a king.  Revelation 19:11 uses Jesus to illustrate the role of a king which is to judge (make decisions) and make war.  

Al brings a revelation of Jesus the judge teaching us how to plead our case with God's word while I emphasized how to seat the Ancient of Days in the courtroom of heaven and shared the revelation Christ gave me concerning ARC's (apostolic resource centers).  We also had a number of  local pastors here as well as leaders from Canada, Texas, California, YWAM in Hawaii and even one from Jordan.  Therefore I devoted a portion of time to presenting Operation Rolling Thunder.

Once again God chose to mark the message with supernatural signs in the heavens and on the earth.  He testified in front of many witnesses as he opened the treasury of heaven and poured out hail in the midst of worship Saturday evening.  These unusual weather events came alive as the scriptures described the characteristics associated with God's abiding presence in a community.  This is the 73rd+ time that this has occurred.  I've learned that God does this to encourage His people to DO HIS WORD until they see measurable results.
