Noise comes from the Hebrew word qowl which means "to call aloud, a voice, a proclamation, a sound and a thunder."  This reminded me of Psalm 18:6-14 which speaks of the thunder of God's voice.  These are scriptures tied to strategies God has given me to help connect the body of Christ, mobilize the army of the Lord, and establish 24/7 prayer, praise and worship in a community.  It positions the Church in a city or region to better hear the voice of the Lord.  

No sooner had I begun to meditate upon this in my back yard when I heard thunder.  Others who attended the seminar also saw and heard the thunder, hail and lightning.  Here's a report from King 5 news that describes how the power was knocked out  in many communities and hail as large as marbles fell.

This is a copy of a testimony I received from Pastor Nani Babu who was our first CONECTer in India who used Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT) to mobilize and unite churches to pray together.  I'll let his letter speak for itself.

Dear sir,

Our country especially my state depends on agriculture and our agriculture relies on rain. Eighty percent of our people are employed through agriculture and its related works. We depend upon rain for electricity generation as well as drinking water for livestock and people. Every year the rains start in the first week June; except this year. The temperatures have been extra warm to and has killed many fruit trees which many farmers rely upon for their income.

This year the monsoon came late. These conditions not only contributed to many fields becoming useless but also heightened the number of people whose health is failing.  Many Hindu priests performed their rituals for rain throughout the month. We waited for our turn. People are expecting rain for cultivation, and for cool weather, electricity generation, drinking water for people and livestock.

On 4th of July I made a decision and passed the message to all the churches using the ORT strategy with me and their CONECTers. We (churches, CONECTers, prayer warriors)  prayed together on July 5th for rains in India. We prayed one full day and on Sunday we had our worship service.  That night at 8 pm our prayers were answered and the rain is still falling.  People are so thankful and praising God for that. Many may not know what caused rain to fall, But the ORT churches know.  We hope every thing will be made right within short time.

I really blessed to be the  National CONECTer and Overseer for a such a powerful strategy, and working with such a powerful prayer warriors internationally. I heartily thank Apostle Tim.  It is such a privilege to work with him as overseer of ORT- India. I love it.

Thank you,

In Him,

Pastor: Nani Babu Nelli,

ORT National Overseer, INDIA

It is April 1st about 12:30am.  I'd just begun my portion of the prayer watch our church stands as part of the 24/7 prayer strategy in our community (click for ORT).  I began to hear a siren.  It was not a regular siren but rather reminded me of an old air raid siren. I strained to hear for I could not tell if it were an actual siren or if I were hearing it in the spirit.  So I got up and stepped outside.  All I could hear was a plane.  No siren.

I stepped back in the house and I heard it again.  The closer I got to my chair where I sat to pray the louder it got.  I sat their listening to it for another four or five minutes and then it began to fade until it became very quiet.  It is a spiritual warning. 

In my 30 plus years of watching and praying I've never heard a sound this clear, this long and that audible for so long.  

I began to ask The Lord what did the siren mean. I knew what it meant in WWII.  It was an air raid siren that warned of an imminent attack by air.  I did a little research and Wikipedia says; " Initially designed to warn of air raids in WW II, they were adapted to warn of nuclear attack and of natural phenomena such as tornadoes ....The "Attack" tone is the iconic, rising-falling sound of an air raid or nuclear attack frequently heard in war movies. It was once reserved for imminent enemy attack, but is today sometimes used to warn of severe weather, tsunamis, or even fire calls, depending on local ordinance."

So I asked The Lord, what does this mean and what are we supposed to do?

Only an hour after I posted Part 2 of What's God Saying for 2014 I saw a sign and a wonder God gave to mark the word about how God intends His light to shine in darkness.  It was two super moons (1st & the 30th) that occur in January.  

Talk about a light that shines in darkness.  Super moons occur when they are closest to the earth.  Hence it is lighter in the dark.  Truly a light shined in darkness.  As I considered Luke 21:25-28 recognizing God uses the sun, moon and stars to communicate in the latter days I asked Him for greater insight into what these two super moons meant.


That's when I heard a "harvest moon is arising."  A harvest moon occurs in the fall on the Saturday nearest the fall equinox.  Its a full moon opposite the sun.  The farmers call it a harvest moon because it provides more light so they can harvest late into the night (click here for more explanation).

God used this sign to mark His word I shared in Part 2 of What's God Saying for 2014; " We will see more decisions for Christ this year as we draw nearer the dawning of a 3rd Great Awakening."  

God is calling forth the sons of light  and giving us a harvest moon so we can work late into the night.  Why?  Because the harvest is not complete.  There is still much work to do.

It's time to prepare for harvest my friends.  January is not the fall.  It's not time for harvest.  But Amos 9:11 teaches us that one of the keys to the harvest is the restoration of David's tabernacle (24/7 prayer, praise and worship in a city).  As it is restored (ie. through strategies such as Operation Rolling Thunder) we will see the plowman overtake the reaper.  The prayer movement that has been establishing houses of prayer throughout the world has been one of the tools God has used to restore David's tabernacle. Therefore, harvesting and planting will begin to overlap.  We will harvest in season and out of season.  In fact now, every season is a season to harvest.

Matthew 9:37-38 (Luke 10:2)
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." NKJV

This harvest is so huge we need all hands on deck.  We need to prepare to let our nets (plural) down so we can receive this harvest for our Lord.  This is why we've been seeking to connect churches in cities through our strategies for years.  Join us in praying for but also in harvesting souls this year for our Lord Jesus Christ.  Let Him receive the just reward for His suffering.  

This morning I saw a great word from Johnny Enlow about how "Eagles Will Gather and Eagles Will be Released" in the Northwest.  All I can say is amen as it is so very similar to other prophetic words marked with signs and wonders as we mobilized the Church through Operation Rolling Thunder.  Amos 3:7 says:

Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. NKJV

Prophets see further off and the closer the timing gets the more prophets that see and proclaim a similar word.  This should be very encouraging for there is a principle in God's word' "in the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established."

This is not the first word regarding the gathering and releasing of eagles.  This is just the most recent from a prominently recognized prophet.  The first time I heard the word was in 2003 on the 50 state tour when Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce came to Washington State.  Among other things they declared that this was an "eagle state."

I want to share with you some more prophetic words that were confirmed with signs and wonders in 2006 and 2007.  I'm summarizing this from my first release of "Opertion Rolling Thunder" on page 130.  

The office of prophet is likened unto that of a watchman in Ezekiel.  Scripturally we see there are three ways that God anoints prophets with a spirit of revelation to gather what I like to call "spiritual intelligence."  First, God can speak directly to a prophet audibly, internally, or through a vision or a dream just like the Lord spoke to Elisha sharing with him the Syrian King's war strategies (2 Kings 6:12, 2 Kings 7:1).  Second, God can speak through research and give direction like He did Daniel as he studied the book of Jeremiah (Dan. 9).  Finally, God can give insight through prayer walking just like the Apostle Paul recieved revelation about how to present the gospel to the Athenians in Acts 17 using the statue of the Unknown God he'd seen as he wandered through the city.  

I'm going to use our recent trip to Burma to illustrate how we constantly seek to gather and utilize spiritual intelligence.  

Prayer Walking
During the second part of our journey to Myanmar (Burma) we stayed in Yangon.  As we walked through the city made several observations.  I will only share two.  First, we saw Shwedagon Pagoda. The term "dagon" stood out immediately.  Second, we saw the Lion Throne in the National Museum.  We learned that the Lion throne was only ascended by the king when judicial decrees were to be made.  This is clearly a counterfiet throne.  It is a counterfiet of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. 

Biblical Research Regarding Dagon

Pastor Nani from India reports great news!  They are planting another church and...... an invitation to join him in mobilizing churches to pray using Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT) was answered by pastors from Karnataka state and from Tamilnadu state!

Glory to Jesus!  ORT is a mobilization strategy that makes a way for a leader or a church to bring others to our Lord's holy mountain of Zion.  It helps them work together to build our Lord's House of Prayer for all Nations based upon the pattern King David used in his tabernacle (Acts 15:16-17).  

Isaiah 56:7 - Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."  NKJV

Transforming Society - One Life, One Community, one State at a Time
Pastor Nani and the Church in India are seeing the same kinds of results other cities have seen as they connected together and began to pray using the ORT strategy.  Several US cities like Gainesville FL have seen the Church's prayer have a powerful affect on crime.  Pastor Nani and 19 churches in India followed suit earlier this year and saw them have a powerful impact on rapes in their area.  Click here for Prayer Strategy Causes Rapes to Decline.

I saw a post by Dr. Lance Wallnau of LanceLearning today on Facebook.   With his permission I am reprinting his post below.

Why?    Amos 3:7 - Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

Here is a summary of the major themes I see:

• Count Zinzendorf and the 24/7 prayer movement that launched the modern missionary movement!  A resurgence! 
  
• A new form of church was being authorized which they called "micro-church" like church in the home.  
  
• The Presence of God is key! 
  

Here are some links where in you will find a similar message.

• The history with Count Zinzendorf was intertwined with ours in Operation Rolling Thunder as Jason Hubbard spoke of his supernatural encounter at Herrenhut at our ORT Kick Off in 2007 (see page 130 Operation Rolling Thunder for details).  The core theme and overall goal is part of our DNA. It has helped launch 36 prayer centers since 2008 which has led to 41+ churches being planted.

• Click here for an explanation of the role of God's abiding presence in Operation Rolling Thunder.  It is the key to the results.
  

When the Lord begins to move you will find more and more prophetic voices declaring a similar message.  I am writing this specifically to encourage our network as you will find that we've been hearing and many of you have been acting upon a similar message and direction but pioneering in a different area.   Bottom line, we need to stay the course and do our part and pray for others who were with Lance in Moravian Falls like Rick Joyner, Bobbie Conner and Bob Jones to hit the mark for their destiny as well. We will be tremendously blessed by each one's success (Eph. 4:16).

Lance's Post - 9/17/2013

As I meditated upon God's word this morning I was led to Hebrews 12:22 which so powerfully reveals what it is that Operation Rolling Thunder empowers the Church in a city to do to bring the word into manifestation.  It's awesome!  This brings us to:

• Mount Zion and the city of the living God! (2 Sam. 5:7)
• An untold number of angels to assist the heirs of salvation (Heb 1:13-14)
• The Church, the Ekkleesia, the ones assembled and called out to govern
• The Judge of all the earth as continual praise seats His court (Psalm 22:3, Dan. 7:9)
• Jesus our Mediator, Advocate, attorney and legal counsel (1 John 2:1)
• ORT is all about positioning the Church to hear God's voice.... see that you do not refuse Him who speaks whose voice shakes the earth
• We are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken
• A portion of scripture that brings real balance to the hyper-grace message sweeping America

Hebrews 12:22-29
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.  
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."  27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire. NKJV

Grace comes from a Greek word (charis) that means graciousness, a literal or spiritual divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in life. It is translated as benefit, favor, gift, grace, joy or liberality in the King James.  Many today use this word as if it means mercy which is different.  Grace is God's enabling power.  Grace empowers us to serve God with reverence and godly fear.  It empowers us to do  what we cannot do on our own.

Grace, God's enabling power, enables fallible men to go beyond what the Law required.  For example:

Update 9-17-2013 - Fully Funded! 
Brenda and I have the great privilege of ministering in Myanmar/Burma soon.  I began to work with a young apostle starting in 2006 who served as one of our CONECTers.  In 2008 he helped launch one of the first prayer centers through ORT.  This strategy has helped leaders launch 34 prayer centers around the world so far.  Our CONECTer worked with 7 different denominations and they established Mount Horeb Prayer Center.  

During our outreach we will be not only will we minister to the founders of the prayer center, church elders and tribal elders but we will also host an Apostolic Leadership Conference for 150 ministers.  The focus of this conference is equipping kings and priest to re-present the gospel of the kingdom with authority in power in Jesus name.  


We see this as a strategic opportunity. Christians are a minority here, however, the area we are in has a large contingent of Christians.  So we'll have an opportunity to help them build that eternal house of prayer for all nations with a view to launching a variety of aggressive church planting strategies into the nation.  

We will also visit children in a nursery and install a fresh water well for the young apostle and his people.  We covet your prayer and support ($2700 more needed today).   If you would like to learn how you can partner with us in this strategic outreach then I invite you to visit

Thanks be to God for your indescribable gift

2 Corinthians 9:12-15

For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,  while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,  and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you.  Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 

Brenda and I want to extend our sincerest heartfelt thanks to you for your partnership in the gospel and your stewardship distribution of the resources Christ put within your hands.  We thank God for you and bless you in Jesus name.

Bless according to the Theological Workbook of the Old Testament means "to endue with power for success, prosperity, fecundity (means to reproduce), and longevity..."
