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: 

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.  

Part 1 says "We are entering into a spiritual winter. It's time to stoke the fires."  Click here for the rest of the word.

In part 2 I heard "the theme in 2014 will be a light shined in darkness."  

Situation Report
Dark is getting darker as people call evil good and good evil (Isa. 5:20).  Because of the transgression in the land civil government expands its reach through a multitude of laws (Prov 28:2).  Unrighteous men who create unrighteous laws (ie. that kill innocent children) will not have fellowship with God (Ps. 94:20-23).  The growing confusion and death all point to dark getting darker (Isa. 41:29, Isa. 24:10, Ps. 107:10, Isa. 9:2, Zech 12:4).

We draw near to the "day of the Lord."  It is a time where there are multitudes who have entered into the valley of decision (Joel 3:14).  It is a day of darkness and gloominess (Joel 2:2).

A People Come Great and Strong - the Sons of Light - Out of Zion

Joel 2:2-3A day of darkness and gloominess,  A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.  A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been;  Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.  A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them. NKJV

Joel 2:10-12
The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble;  The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness. 
 The Lord gives voice before His army,  For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?  "Now, therefore," says the Lord,  "Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning." NKJV

Joel 3:16 
The Lord also will roar from Zion,  And utter His voice from Jerusalem;  The heavens and earth will shake; But the Lord will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel. NKJV

John 12:35-36
Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.   While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." NKJV

1 Thessalonians 5:5-11
You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.  But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.  For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. NKJV

Dark will grow darker but light will grow lighter.

Isaiah 60:1-3 
Arise, shine;  For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.   For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,  And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you,  And His glory will be seen upon you.  The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising. 

Darkness will continue to grow but so will the light.  When God designed light and dark He set a boundary between the two and He called this boundary good (Gen. 1:4).  

You will see a holy people emerge not out of legalism but rather a holy love for Jesus Christ our Lord.  As they take up their cross, die to themselves as Jesus did, they will become bearers of the light and the anointing.  

Zion was the place of continual prayer, praise and worship in a city.  We will see more and more city churches cooperating together to create the atmosphere of heaven (continual prayer, praise and worship) in their cities.  Houses of prayer will become more like strategic operation centers helping facilitate and coordinate the efforts of local congregations.  Kingdom minded leaders from all spheres of society will form councils which will be like gathering the elders at the gates of a city. These kingdom minded people will gather together corporately, work together corporately as priests, and then as kings take their light into their spheres of influence.  They will be Christ bearers, lights that shine in darkness gone to deliver those who are bound in darkness hating even the garments stained by sin.

Behold a GREAT LIGHT is emerging across our land.  A light shines in darkness!  God is calling forth strong men to carry the light for it is they who will overcome the strongman.

Matthew 12:29-30
Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.  30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. NKJV

In 2014:

• The watch of the Lord will grow in cities to seat the courtroom of heaven
• We will see more decisions for Christ this year as we draw nearer the dawning of a 3rd Great Awakening

Let us pray the Lord of the harvest send laborers to the harvest.  Let us pray for the restoration of David's tabernacle (Amos 9:11-12).  Click here for Part 1 of What is God Saying for 2014?

(CNN) -- Hold the obituary. Experts now think Comet ISON -- or at least part of it -- survived its close encounter with the sun.... Earlier Thursday, NASA scientists had pretty much declared ISON dead at the end of a Google Hangout to watch the comet swing by the sun. But professional and amateur astronomers were undeterred by the reports and kept analyzing NASA satellites. They found images that clearly show something emerging from the sun."  

Two days ago I published "Thanksgiving - Hannakah & the ISON Comet on Nov 28."  It noted that the occurence of Thanksgiving and Hannakah occuring on the same day will not happen again for another 70,000+ thousand years.  Combine that with the ISON Comet passing near the sun on that same day and we find God speaking through a remarkable interalationship of signs in the heavens and on the earth.  Two days ago I shared part of what I think God is saying.

What's God saying through all of this?  

I submit, we have much to be thankful for IF we keep our focus on heaven. It's time to re-dedicate ourselves back to the Lord just like the Jews dedicated the temple back to the Lord a second time after the Maccabean revolt. It's time to let our lights so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify our Father in heaven.  Jesus taught us to pray kingdom come and will be done ON EARTH as it is in HEAVEN.  I invite you to join me in dedicating ourselves to manifesting heaven on earth in a new and glorious way during this season of thanksgiving. - See more at: http://www.kingdomleague.org/3/post/2013/11/thanksgiving-hannakah-the-ison-comet-on-nov-28.html#sthash.mZOuwppN.dpuf

At first it was reported that the comet did not survive its brush with the sun.  But now we find that it did. 

What does this mean?  I submit to you....

I received an email this morning from one of our partners in ministry about Mostafa who accepted our Lord Jesus Christ in 2009.  Click here for  the full story from a ministry sponsored by the Voice of the Martyrs.  

He was recently imprisoned in Iran because they accused him of:

• Being involved in Christian evangelical activities and holding underground worship services
• Water baptism
• Attendance in a house church
• Providing evangelical material to other believers
• Dubbing 5 movies to be used in evangelism
• A clear confession to the court that he converted to Christianity
• Confession that he distributed 12,000 Bibles
• Discovered with more than 6000 Bibles, CDs, and other books related to Christianity in his house

My thought was, "Lord, is there enough evidence to convict me of being a Christian?"  

Is there enough evidence to convict you?



Revelation 2:1-6   "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,

'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:  2 "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;  3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary.  4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place — unless you repent. NKJV

By Lisa McFarland Apostle/Prophet & founder of Warring Dove International Ministries - http://wardoves.com/

Lisa McFarland is anointed as an apostle, prophet and an evangelist out of Kansas.  We had the privilege of welcoming her and the whole Warring Dove International team into KLI's league during the Key of David last month.  Here is a powerful word she shared with us about 2013.

A few years ago, the prophets began to prophesy that a new era was coming. We said the same thing and God let us know that “we did not know what it would be called, because it had not happened yet.” Now we know that God is going to pour out His Glory and it will revolutionize the body
of Christ and the world. Is. 55:5 says God will cover us with His splendor. “Behold, you will call a nation you do not know, And a nation which knows you not will run to you, Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.”  One translation says “splendor”,  splendor is to shine, to be brilliant or to radiate. This “brightness of His Glory that is coming on us will draw the nations into the kingdom.” When the Queen of Sheba heard about the glory of King Solomon, she came to see for herself (1Kings 10:1). 

This Glory will also be a covering and a weapon. Isaiah tells about the glory that will be a tent and a covering....

The prophet Jeremiah said in Jeremiah 32:8 ... "Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord."

How did he know?  What was the criteria he used to judge the word (applies to dream, vision or sign as well)?  

The book of Jeremiah is loaded when it comes to a study on true prophets verses lying or false prophets.  Today I want to focus on only twp elements as it pertains to discerning a true word from the Lord.

Jeremiah 32:6 provides the context.  He heard the word of the Lord saying your Hanamel your cousin is going to come and say; "Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy it."

When Hanamel came and did as the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah said then he was able to say, "Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord."

Discerning True Words of the Lord - Lesson 1

One of the criteria is; did the event occur as predicted? 

Years ago others recognized that God gave me a prophetic gift.  It has operated primarily in the realm of government (leaders, church, business).  One way this has been expressed is that sometimes God will give me a word for a leader.  Over the course of 25+ years I've received words that brought correction or restoration to a variety of leaders.  Some were removed and some restored.  My testimony is this, to date, I can say I have a testimony like Samuel.  So far, the words I've given have been fulfilled.  One word for one leader's restoration took 20 years to manifest.  It was fulfilled in stages with the last element being fulfilled two years ago. 

The bishop for KLI in Pakistan, our dear Brother Shahbaz, requested that I share a word with their leaders (860+ have been trained since 2008) and those who have served as CONECTers through Operation Rolling Thunder (5 city prayer centers, 22 churches and 3 church plants underway).  These minister in the midst of terrible persecution and yet they press on setting a marvelous example of courage anchored in love exercising faith.

As I prayed about his request I've received revelation about what is on our Father's heart I began to write as I sensed the anointing of the Lord.  This is what the Lord showed me and it goes far beyond Kingdom League International in Pakistan.  This is for every one who is part of KLI or who is passionate about seeing our Lord Jesus Christs' kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  The Lord says;

We are in a time of deep darkness
Isaiah 60:2 -  For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
