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

This Passover will be marked by a very rare heavenly event: a lunar eclipse. Some have coined this a blood moon.  In fact it is the first of four blood moons that will occur on the Feasts of Passover and Sukkot (Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015. Four lunar eclipses are called a tetrad and there have only been seven recorded since 1 AD.  In the last century the tetrads occurred twice.  The first was associated with Israel becoming a nation in 1948 and the second was in 1967 right after the Six Day War occurred.  That's remarkable don't you think?

Jesus told us about the conditions that would exist before He returns in Matthew 24-25 and  Luke 21.  He says that there will be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars and admonishes us not to allow ourselves to allow our hearts to become weighed down with drunkenness, carousing, or the cares of this life but to rather "watch and pray."  My friends, we are living in amazing times and God still has plans for the nation of Israel.  Israel finds herself in very challenging times once again as peace talks have stalled and are set to expire on April 29th.  Historically tetrads have always marked a time of tragedy followed by triumph for Israel.  

The lunar eclipse (blood moon) is scheduled to begin at 10:58pm PDT as the moon moves into the earth shadow. The full lunar eclipse begins at 12:07am and lasts until 1:25am PDT. 

If there was ever a sign in the heavens that said "watch and pray" these blood moons occurring on Passover and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015 sure do. It is a time to pray first for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122) and then for the salvation of Israel (Romans 10:1).  Then we will pray whatever our Lord shows us to pray for His Church, our community, state and our nation.

We would like to invite you to join us in a "Night Prayer Watch on Passover, April 14th." We'll begin our watch at sunset on April 14th. We are going to invite our Church to join us in our local area and we encourage you to invite your church family to gather together in homes or as a local congregation to watch and pray with us.  Actually, we are going to watch not only in prayer but also with a telescope!  

Here are some of the scriptures we'll be meditating upon and praying too. 

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?

For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.  If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do? Psalm 11:2-3

There is no question there is a multifaceted all out strategic attack being launched against the truth of God's word in all spheres of society through people who have rejected God and His Word. From Common Core in the education realm, to an attack on God's family design from Hollywood and organizations like GLADD, to ObamaCare which is decimating not only healthcare but has also affected the relgious sphere, family, business and government spheres of society.  For a nation whose foundation was so grounded upon God's word and His principles in its conception this is disastrous.  The fruit of our wars, economy, disease, crime etc. all reflect the warnings described in the Pentateuch.  These are ancient truths.

It's like the principle of gravity.  It's not the fall that hurts.  It is the sudden stop the body experiences when flesh encounters something that's existed much longer than it.  It  is the earth that has been here since creation.  Our nation is on a crash course with eternal truth and it is time to brace for impact. 

Eternal spiritual truths are just that : eternal truths.  If you ignore them eventually you will run into the truth and the encounter with the truth can be disastrous.   Respect God's word and you can enjoy the benefits.  Reject God's word and you can enjoy  the results of your choice.  

Our nation became the most prosperous nation in the world because Biblical principles from the foundation of God's word were so integrated in the formation of our government and its judicial system.  One thing to note is that no system of government works unless there are men of character to oversee it.  I don't care if we are talking about democracy, a republic, socialism, communism or a dictatorship.  All will fail without character.  The character is the foundation of a man's soul.  

Without going into the reason why nor attempting to assign blame I'll just acknowledge that there are wicked men (women) in some of the highest offices of our nation.  I emphasize wicked because one of the meanings of that word is twisted.  Their thinking is twisted therefore their logic is twisted and there are consequences associated with implementing unrighteous laws and policies.  I.e. see 1st and 2nd Kings and do a study on the kings who "causes Israel to sin." 

So the question is; if the foundations are destroyed, "what can the righteous do?" 

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:
