Let's turn our Bibles to Acts chapter one.
We have to deal with something today.
And I think a few of you were here last night
for the prayer session that was happening.
Excellent time. It was good.
But it was very governmental prayer.
And I want to explain something,
because if you come to the intercessory prayer night,
you know, with Pastor Igor,
that'll have a different flavor to it
than like what last night, last night,
was pronouncements, decrees, declarations.
And then sometimes there's travailing services
where the Lord will...
I mean, we just go into something.
You're travailing on behalf of something.
You're looking to get a door to open or whatever.
You know, there's many different types of that.
And I've had questions in the past
where people will say,
why didn't we do this?
Well, because that wasn't what the night was about, right?
We don't always, like, when you're decreeing something,
a petition or a decree is very good to have written down.
And, you know, and then many times you read right off the paper.
So everybody's on the same page.
So, you know, a decree, when they do the scroll like that,
hear ye, hear ye.
It's an exacto knife kind of thing.
If it comes from the king, it's like we're not missing
any little part of it.
It's going to be exact.
And everyone's going to be exactly agreed on it.
So that's what happened here last night
regarding governmental things,
regarding the five counties.
And there's just been so much going on.
There were probably five meetings going on,
you know, between yesterday and the day before.
And so some of you were here.
Some of you were not. We're all over the place.
But we are going to provide everybody with that decree
and make sure it's here at Word of Life
because, governmentally, we were a part of that
and will probably continue to be as Karen Kruger
and her team and everything come in and we do another one.
So I wanted to explain that
because, like I said, questions have come in.
I don't talk to my husband always the same way.
So we don't talk to God, you know,
where it's always the same kind of communication
with the same vein or whatever.
You know, everything has a different purpose
and the same thing happens with God.
And when we begin to recognize,
hey, that falls in that category,
this falls in this category,
then you reposter yourself for what's going on.
But it takes a little bit to recognize that
when people start first coming into prayer, you know.
And then there's prayer that's just a prayer for special needs
and you're bouncing all over the place.
This person needs healing,
this person needs deliverance or whatever
and that's how that rolls.
But to focus something is,
many times comes out of intercessory prayer
where we finally settled something
and now we're decreeing it.
So if you have something going on in your life,
you walk through those processes where it's like,
I addressed it, I took authority over it,
I did some repentance,
your prayer time is going to look different
and it'll get that way,
but then eventually you shouldn't keep repenting over something
or you shouldn't keep asking over something.
You reach a point where it's nailed
and it's like, we're just going to decree this now.
He told us this, this is what his word says
and we're going to declare it and decree it.
When I was ministering in the north,
Amanda Hill was there,
she said it more than once.
She had just seen me in the hallway
and she told Jennifer Cannon
that that's a governmental prayer person,
that's a governmental prophet.
And that's why we have things like faith and freedom
and things like that in the church.
You can look at other pastors and go,
why don't they have that or whatever?
They might not carry that anointing.
They should still want to be involved,
but they might not carry the anointing
that says we're about governmental things.
So we can look around the room
and go, here's some of our prayer people
and it seems so small compared to governmental things
and regions, but our assignment is regions
and governmental things.
And it'll break all the way down to the individual,
but it goes all the way out
as far as the Lord will have us to go.
So when revival was happening,
Acts chapter 1 verse 14 says,
all these with one mind and one purpose
were continually devoting themselves to prayer,
waiting together along with the women
and marry the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.
All of these with one mind,
one purpose were continually devoting themselves to prayer.
To vote to something,
it's almost like saying I voted for this
and now I'm going to devote in the sense
that I've agreed with it and I have hang time with it
when I'm moving.
This is my zone is another way
of bringing it into nowadays language.
And they did this prayer
and they were waiting together,
waiting in the sense for the thing that was promised.
And we are right now waiting for things as individuals
that were promised in our own lives, right?
You got stuff you're waiting on?
I got some things that I am waiting on.
And there's some things that have been fulfilled
and now the prayers have changed in those areas
where it's been fulfilled.
It's like now it's been fulfilled.
Now we're guarding, we're keeping watch over like
when you get land and you start working that land
then the next year you don't just leave the field go.
You're constantly watching over it and taking care of it.
So on one hand we're taking care of something
and we're walking in.
On the other hand we're waiting for the breakthrough
to get the grant to be on that land
that we've been waiting for
because really that's what you're waiting for to take ground.
Whatever it is you're waiting for
if it's not in a selfish, you know,
well just be better for me.
That's why I want this God.
Well that's not taking ground.
Taking ground is doing what he said
and what was prophesied for your destiny
whether you want to do it or not.
That's how you know it's not out of a selfish motive.
Sometimes it's like I don't even really want to do this
but this is what he said.
So I'm going to take ground in this area
and my focus is going to be on devoting ourselves.
Of course they were waiting on the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
But even with that God said it
and we can get sloppy agape where we'll go
well he said it so I'll come to pass whatever.
No, they devoted themselves.
Because he said it
they were on it like white on rice.
Like we are going to gather together.
We are going to be united.
We're going to stay on the purpose, stay on the focus.
Where sometimes like I said we get sloppy with it
and it's kind of like well God said it
so I was going to come to pass.
I guess it'll come to pass.
Ever do that with a prophecy?
People do that all the time with the prophecies.
You know they have a word of them
a word of knowledge like wasn't that incredible?
That was so cool.
Are you watching over that prophecy?
Are you carrying that within your heart?
Are you tracking it?
There's things we track that all of a sudden
in the now we go we have an aha moment.
We're like that's what he was talking about
20 years ago when he spoke that word over us.
It's happening right now.
Well if you forget or don't keep track of it
or don't follow it along
waiting for the opening to happen
you're not going to see the dots connect.
You're just not going to see a connect.
It's very powerful when you know
that you're walking in something.
Anybody here have deja vu?
Right? Okay.
I don't even... that's not a scriptural term
but I can tell you it is a way
that God talks to us.
It's like your spirit has already saw something
and your cognitive brain is like
I don't know nothing about it.
Until all of a sudden somebody starts talking
and you're like this is that moment.
It's a marking moment.
It's kind of like it's rare many times
that people will see glory dust or whatever
but glory dust for instance
if that shows up it's not just for kicks
it's not like isn't God so cool
he showed us stuff you know.
It marks a moment that says pay attention.
Deja vu says pay attention.
I have been here before in the spirit
and the longest one I had
probably went on for three minutes.
You know they feel long to begin with
because it's it's it could be 10 seconds
and you just feel like all this is
you know what the person is going to say
you're looking around the room
and in your whole being just goes
I have been here before
while you're not trying to freak the other person out
if you're talking to somebody
sometimes I've had that word
talking to somebody and it's just like
and I'm looking at them
because I could say what they're going to say next
and I don't know what my expression
on my face is like after I walk away
I'm like oh sure I shouldn't have shown them
whatever you know because you're trying to go
uh-huh but yet you're you're seeing it
so there is something about those
marking moments to pay attention
God has different things
between dreams, visions, open visions
between asleep and awake
you know where he talks to us
and that and then deja vu
and now words of knowledge
and there are words of wisdom
I mean there is a lot that helps us track things
prophetic things are not just a happening
and then we go on and just go about our life
your track there's a track method to it
that's why prayer on Sunday mornings
is actually different than prayer in other times
And the reason is it's a navigator tour. We have to stay in the flow.
We're carrying this thing to the next Sunday. We're working.
We're intercessory prayer nights. You're breaking through on something.
Where last night was declaration's decrees of something that's already broken through.
We already know what to say and we're saying it.
All right. I think that just needs to be understood for us to be of one mind and one purpose on something.
Now, remember last couple of weeks, in fact, I think they even named it funky,
funky feeling or funky something online.
Because I keep bringing up that, you know, has it been funky at home?
Or have you felt that funky atmosphere or whatever?
Well, one of the big things that's taking place today is President Trump switching.
Let me see if I can go there and just read it.
My phone will listen to me.
It's probably me, but I always feel like it's being rebellious.
It's probably my issue.
Anyways, it says President Donald Trump has initiated efforts to reestablish a religious foundation in American public life,
emphasizing the nation's identity as one nation under God.
In February 2026, he announced a national prayer event on May 17th as the national mall to rededicate the country to God,
aligning with the 250th anniversary that's coming.
Now, there is a prayer thing that's going to be happening at Steve Beckholme's church,
an assembly of God, and Moira on July 4th.
It goes from 9 to 10, and I think it's actually something that's been instituted for all churches.
We could gather and do that because you can go, oh, that's 250 years.
It's not that big a deal, but all of this is prophetic moving together.
And what he's doing by saying one nation under God is we had a flag.
The flag got removed here in Minnesota, and others planted it to say no, you know,
and here in the United States that it's not under God anymore.
In fact, they wanted to remove it off the money. They wanted to do all this stuff, right?
And so there gets to be an uprising, and we should uprise when it comes to something like that.
Because that's an announcement just like Pastor Josh talked about the altars.
You are marking that America is a huge altar, supposed to be, under the covenant of when it started, right?
The declarations of independence, all those things were covenants that says, here's how we're going to roll.
And there's always an uprising to say, no, we're not rolling that way.
We want to put our flag, well, and then it, you know, when that happened where it got removed,
or the idea of removing saying this is one nation under God, meaning Yahweh, meaning Jehovah,
meaning Jesus, Yeshua, the Christ.
Now the whole atmosphere changes.
So if we go to put that back, right, and institute this is how it's going to be again,
that's a funky feeling in the atmosphere.
That's affecting your household, and you didn't even know it, right?
Because you remove something like that, and the altar gets messed up, and there's strange fire,
and there's all kinds of things going on. It's affecting us.
And now the Kiral isn't to just say we're instituting it back.
That's a warfare statement that is about to take place. Amen?
And so because we live here, and we're pilgrims passing through, it affects us.
The only thing that it can affect when there's war in the heavenlies,
you'll find that the war in your soul becomes greater.
Just let you think about that for a little bit.
Because this is dirt, and this is water, and we're in this temple.
This dirt came from this earth. This earth was touched by sin,
and the rulership of this comes through the kingdom of God inside of us,
and the flag that God has planted in our heart when we receive Christ, right?
The outside influence is when someone says,
we're not doing this under God anymore, and then someone says, we are.
The war that goes on there is like an unsettled feeling until it's settled.
And then once it's settled, you plant your flag somewhere,
and you decree it, and you say, we've settled this.
Doesn't mean everyone's like, ah, they won.
It's more of like, okay, now it's war.
Now we're first going to see war.
When you plant the flag, anything that is saying, I will come against it,
will come against it.
And so we are in a time of war.
I want to remind you that when Amanda Hill was here during Open Heavens,
she did say, oh, oh, oh, the year that's coming is going to be a bloody year.
Well, what happens in, and that's what's been happening,
but what happens in the physical is a reflection of what's going on in the spiritual.
There's a lot of death going on.
There's a lot of warfare going on.
And here we are, intercessors, right?
We have to be of one mind.
We have to be of one purpose.
And then for here, this is when the purpose was for the Holy Spirit to be released on the earth.
It was to be released in that small group of people, though, right?
Because why?
They were going to start the very thing we're living in now.
We are starters of the things that are to be poured out for these last days.
This is our upper room.
We have our prayer closets at home.
We bring all this together.
And the anointing of the living God is going to institute something through our group,
through other groups that are going to be praying who are one mind and one purpose, his purpose.
But you'll find that as I go out and about and I talk to people, it's just crazy.
They're not watching us, but they're preaching the same thing we're preaching.
Or, you know, they say, we prayed this, and you're like, we just prayed that.
You know, it's really wild how God's connection is there.
And last night, for instance, I don't know if it came with the group that was here,
but there was a pitcher that had light shafts.
They just left it on the wall that were coming up.
Well, when we traveled around the state or around the region and poured the oil so many years ago,
that's what people saw over and over.
They said, we see light, like it's established like a light shaft just came up here as we poured the oil.
And saw that over and over.
And when that pitcher was up, I'm like, mm-hmm.
We have ordered the map.
The map is here where we can put the watchtowers that we're affiliated with or that we're a part of.
And many will be added to.
We're going to put that up on the wall.
When the meeting started last night, what did they have?
The map of Minnesota and where people are connected and where it's lit.
Well, were they watching us?
No, was I watching them?
No, but we have the same message, same mind.
So we come into the same mind and the same purpose.
That purpose of God, he's doing that in other groups.
And then we're going to find each other.
The corridors of victory that Pastor prophesied about years ago actually come through the prayer hubs that are here to hear,
to hear if you looked at a map.
People have been traveling from far and near like Pastor Jim talked about prophesied.
They've been doing that this whole time.
But the true corridors of victory is when we're praying this over here,
these people are praying the exact same things.
And they're praying the same exact same things.
Now we travel through those corridors and connect with each other.
We're going to take this region.
Do you see it?
We're going to take this region.
And so then one nation under God is like the permission to say go get it.
Go get it.
Because the authorities that are higher than who we are as far as rulership or whatever
are making a statement that says go get it.
You see that?
Oh, I'm excited about this.
And so to be of one mind, there's only one God, right?
So prayer people are all about the one God.
And we're of one mind means like Roman says, set your mind in the things of faith.
Set your mind.
So this is why Sunday mornings prayers give direction like what I'm doing right now.
It's very apostolic.
It's very much like here's where we're at and here's where we're going.
Here's where we came from.
It's very much like that.
Where other nights might be we're breaking into something and bringing it to pass.
Make sense?
But in all those different groups, we're in one mind.
And you'll see that if you're in this group all of a sudden something that's prayed at
intercessory prayer night, it'll be like, oh, that's what this was.
You have to keep your mind open to track it.
We're like, you know, we're out like hunting stuff.
And we're tracking it and looking at evidence and then write it down.
Intercessors write everything down because you won't remember it.
I thought it was pretty cool.
Last night there were so many intercessors and almost everybody either had their phones
or they had pieces of paper.
Everybody's writing stuff down because you have to be able to recall.
And when we're on the tower, we're walking on that saying, God, you said.
And we might be recalling something that happened 25 years ago.
You said.
It might have been last week at a different prayer session, you said.
This is what we saw, Lord, and we're reminding him.
And then he tells us, we'll go decree that thing.
Okay, yes, Lord, we have the permission to decree it and we will.
So then we're the ones out there opening a scroll and saying, hear you, hear you.
The Lord God has said, and this is what shall come to pass.
That's kind of like what a decree is.
Makes sense.
But on the mainland, like we've talked about before,
is where you're in your own personal warfare for your personal life.
And I've said this before, too, is the danger is, you know, when we're baby Christian,
that's the battleground, right?
But if we get stuck there all of our life,
where our life really isn't a worldview,
our life doesn't go past me and mine,
and our prayers are just like, this is where it is, something's wrong.
God will lead you into the victories that you gain in your own life.
It gives you the bravery to take on things farther out than where you're at.
Now, what they were waiting for and purpose in mind was the Holy Spirit.
And what did the Holy Spirit do?
It gave us ability, efficiency, and might to do what?
Right? To be witnesses.
And witnesses, we've said before, means martyrs.
And martyrs means, I will be seen and heard at all costs.
You have to have the baptismal Holy Spirit to pull that off.
To be seen and heard at all costs.
Now, you start that to be seen and heard at all costs within yourself,
and then on the mainland, where you live.
Right?
My children are going to hear the gospel.
My grandchildren are going to hear the gospel.
We're taking care of business, but there's a world view of where we're going.
We are the last days church.
I believe it. Do you believe it?
If I'm out of here before the main big explosion takes place,
a revival or whatever, which I'm praying not because I want to see it.
I'll see it from there or from here,
but I prefer to be right in the midst, you know, and be a part of it.
But even if that happens, what we're starting now is a part of what we'll be.
What we're into that someone else started, we're still a part of that vein.
There are prayers that were prayed a hundred years ago that are being awakened today.
When I was up the last time with Pastor Maynard at the church up there,
I took his staff and we declared some things.
Because the staff that someone made for him, he walked the property with and declared and decreed.
I was there when he did that, so I had to really dig to try to find out what did this man say?
What is the thing that he was after besides evangelism and transformation?
Those were the two big things that he was saying as far as for that region.
Well, walking along with that prayer stick, it's just a staff that he walked around the property with.
And there's power. There is power in that.
Because I'm stirring up the prayers that already were prayed.
Right? Long time ago there were prayers that were prayed.
And Maynard had stirred up prayers that were prayed before him.
We're connected to such a big picture.
I think when we get home, it will be like people will approach us and say,
Hey, you know what? I was up there in 1800. When were you there?
That type of thing that it's a mapping of how the war has gone.
This maps out how we're supposed to live on the mainland.
And it maps out how we're supposed to take ground and how we're supposed to see things all the way up to the heavenlies.
It declares things about the heavenlies. So let's stand here this morning.
It's sad to me that pastors across the nation have left their people in a state of baby ways of thinking.
You know, like the most baby way of thinking.
I mean, if you're new saved, you're actually a baby in Christ, right?
And so you can be in this zone for a while, but I mean, there's people 50 years old and saved for 50 years.
And they'll come and the same action happens. This is what church is for.
It's for the prayer line. It's for, you know, how I'm hurting.
And we don't get over things. We're not challenged on certain things. We're not maturing.
And that, a lot of it goes back to the leadership. God forgive us.
God forgive the leadership of this nation. God forgive us.
You know, so much has been in the way of us maturing.
And now here we are going through funky times.
And we're going to continue to talk about the dross, by the way.
That'll be in the future.
But we're going through different things.
And he's asking us to come up in our way of thinking, to stretch a little bit farther out,
to learn a little bit more about our world picture.
I want to challenge you before we start praying.
And please do this. Listen to what Sharam said on Friday night.
It's on Word of Life, Faith and Freedom.
We have so much sitting there. There's so much knowledge.
And most of the time our people are not at those meetings.
So that means we don't have the knowledge, and it's sitting right there.
But we have the capability, if we're busy or whatever, to go and listen.
And I just challenge you to make sure you listen to them all.
Kendall Qualls, all of them. We have to know what's happening.
We have to be able to map this thing as intercessors.
So we look at what's already going on in the physical,
but we're looking also to match that which the heavenly say,
and bring it down onto the physical realm in the mighty name of Jesus.
So let's just begin to pray in the spirit,
just, you know, for edifying of our own spirit,
in the sense of separating ourselves from thoughts
and how we physically feel and all that.
I'm going to ask the band just to get in position.
I'm actually going to ask the band just to get in position.
This is a governmental church in the fact of rulership in the region.
It's part of our assignment. So we bring ourselves under the assignment because the word submit
means to come under the mission of. And we have to know our mission. It's been laid out. And so Lord,
we come again and bring our entire life under the mission of why we are assigned to this house.
And all of those areas in our life where on the mainland we've been attacked or there's
things happening around us or so much of our flesh right now is riling up for stupid reasons and
stupid causes. Father, we just ask forgiveness. We come before you and we ask forgiveness for
all of those things operating in our life and us allowing them to do so. We take rulership
right now in the name of Jesus and rule the mainland of our heart. We command it to submit
to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our flesh will follow where the spirit is going, not only today,
but in the days to come starting now. Wherever it's off, wherever it's been dragged away and
enticed by our own fleshly desires, we speak to it and command that cut off and our ears
to be opened and our eyes to see so that we stay in one mind with one heart, one purpose
and the heart of this church beats towards you. Every pulse beats towards you.
Hallelujah!
And wherever witchcraft, wherever selfishness, wherever anti-christ anointing has touched us,
has motivated us, has changed the very intent of our heart, we align it with you now, Lord God.
As it comes under your mission, things that are assigned against us must flee, must flee, must
leave, sickness, disease, poverty of all sorts. Leave! Confusion, leave! We're not going to miss
where this service is going to go and what your intent is, Lord God. We remove the intent of
our heart out of it. Our intentions are laid to the side. It's all about what you're going to do,
what you're going to say, and we declare and decree from this spot here today that we are
one nation under God. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be his name. He is Jehovah,
the God of Covenant. We are under Jehovah, the God of Covenant. Yeshua is his Son.
Holy Spirit, you are moving here. The three are one and we come under. The nation comes under
the one true God.
