Prophetic Word: Elijah's Return: Soon! July 17, 2020

 July 17, 2020

Prophecy: Betty and Sharron

These are truly the days of Elijah – the coming of the heavenly host is about to come and take what belongs to me, like My word that says: He cometh as a thief and if the householder had known what time the thief would come, then he would have prepared his household.  But he doesn’t know because no one knows but My Father when I am allowed to come and gather My people, but the time is close, I know.  The time is at hand that I will come for my own and remove them and great shall be that void, great shall be that darkness and I tell you right now that it will be swiftly filled, and it will be filled with someone claiming to be the light, they are going to call light darkness, which they are already doing and call darkness light. 

These are the days of Elijah (time of Jacob's trouble close) and the prophets – the two witnesses I promised would come and preach the word with many signs and wonders.  They are going to be the ones that will gather the first fruits of that which belongs to me.  A time of great testing that is coming upon this world to test all, everyone is going to be tested.  The tares are going to be separated from the wheat.  You are going to know exactly who the wheat is and who has the light and the salt.  You are going to know exactly who a tare is – the fruit will show you. You will know the tree by the fruit and whoever goes through that time of Jacob’s trouble, they will not have any trouble identifying who is wheat and who is a tare.

Prophetic Word: Word of Warning: Matthew 24 - The Final Battlefield is ready!


Word of Prophecy, June 22, 2019
Betty & Sharron

Truly your redemption draws near and the time of your departure is at hand.  All things have been made ready in My Father’s house and things are about ready to wind up now, where you are down below, on this planet.  The big showdown that all of history has been waiting on is being set up, a showdown between the powers of darkness and the powers of light are beginning to manifest right now.  They’re putting all their props into place as we speak, at this moment, all lined up and getting ready, like on the day when Elijah showed Elisha: “Those that are with us, are more then those that are against us”.  And, his eyes were opened and he saw the armies of the Living God standing all around.  That’s what is happening now – the powers of darkness have their armies all around for the big showdown that is getting ready to take place.  People have no idea how close the time is, of this world event, that I have spoken of, throughout all of history, from the time of Noah and the flood, all the way till now.  These are the last days, the final days before My Kingdom comes to pass. 

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
Matthew 24:3-51
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers’ places.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand :)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.  But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the Goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
And shall begin to smite [his] fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

2 KINGS 6:15-18
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are] more than they that [be] with them.
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

Prophetic Word: YE SHALL SEEK ME AND FIND ME, Prophetic Word: June 12, 2019


Prophetic Word of Encouragement,  June 12, 2019
Betty and Sharron:



If you will seek me with all of your heart, then I will guide you to my agenda for you – I will show you.  I already know what each person’s part is and the plans I have for you, I have already recorded them.  Your days have been numbered and have been ordered by me, if you will submit yourself to me, then I will lead you and guide you to the tasks that I have waiting for my laborers.  Each one of you has a talent – talents, gifts and skills that I have given.  Some of them are dormant that I have bestowed upon each one of you when you were born again, when you called upon my name.  But some of these gifts are lying dormant – some of them you have not sought me with all of your heart and asked me what they are.  You are not even willing to submit yourself to me.  You are afraid to ask me to do whatever I will in your life because you are afraid of what I might call you to do.  Some of you are afraid that I may call you to the mission field and you will have to give up “things” in your life.  Some of you are afraid that I am going to ask you to give up your personal things in your life.  You are all concerned with your stuff that you are going to be leaving behind – the life style that you are living.  You are getting ready to be transferred to heaven, to my Father’s kingdom, to eternity where I have designed and have a plan for you. 

You will serve me – you will work in eternity, you have jobs to do.  You are all, right now preparing yourselves for the job that you are going to be assigned when you get to my Father’s kingdom.  What you do now is determining what you do then. 

Again, you need to seek me with all of your heart and you will find me.   I will communicate with you on a level that you personally will understand, but you have to seek me.  You have to lay aside your personal desires and your personal interests, and those distractions, as the enemy has set many distractions into your path and he is gaining your attention more than I am getting your attention.  I need you to focus on me and my will and my plans for you.  I already have them written out in a book.  I know the plans that I have for you and they are for life, they are to draw people.  I am seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for my church and I need laborers to go forth and lift me up, and if I be lifted up, I will draw people to me through my spirit.

SIDE NOTE:  This morning early during my time of prayer I was thinking about the spiritual condition of the present day church, in regards to an article I glanced at that spoke about Christians beliefs – a survey that was conducted and it seemed that survey’s results revealed we were no different than the world regarding abortions, living together, sex before marriage, divorce, infidelity, alcohol, same sex marriage, etc.  I was doing a prayer – had just started my “hedge of protection” prayer when I began to weep before the Lord so much that I had to stop and pray in the Spirit to express the grief I was feeling!  I prayed until I felt this burden lift off of me.  Then, I heard the Lord speak, ever so softly and tenderly to me these words: “The problem is, most people are living off of other believer’s relationships with me, and they have no personal relationship of their own with me.”

Jer. 29:11 For know the plans that have for you,' declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

[1Co 12:4 – 19 KJV]
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many; If the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?
[John 10:10 KJV] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
[Luke 13:25-28 KJV] 25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:  26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] thrust out.
[Rev 3:20 KJV] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[Rom 14:10 KJV] But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
[2Co 5:10 KJV] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.

[Mat 22:14 KJV] For many are called, but few [are] chosen.

PROPHETIC WORD: Behold I come quickly & My Reward is With Me


Prophetic Word: Friday, April 5, 2019
Betty & Sharron

Behold, I come quickly and my reward is with me.  I am coming to gather my bride and I am coming for a bride that is without spot or wrinkle.  I am coming for those that are fine tuning their walk with me.  My people need to gather together as they never have before, in unity and one accord like the early church.  They need to go and follow the pattern of the early rain because I am going to follow the same pattern – that which was is that which shall be as there is nothing new under the sun, as it is written in my word.  I will follow these patterns as I am the same yesterday, today and forever – I change not!  I am Jehovah, the completely self-existing one, always present: Jesus, the Christ is my name.


Again, I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever so you need to look at the pattern in the past and book of Acts, the early church of the apostles.  They gathered together in unity, in one accord, and they waited for the power to be endowed upon them – to be poured out upon them and they did not give up till it happened.  That is what my people need to do as the days come to an end and come to a close, as the final hour is upon you.  I know that at any time my Father is going to tell me to go and gather my people.  I am going to get those that are watching and ready and that have their garments spotless and white, and that have their vessels filled with oil, and this is a daily thing.  You need to daily get before me and fill your vessel.  You need to take up your cross daily and follow me and to deny yourselves of the pleasures of this world because I have already prepared a place for you, and if I have prepared a place for you, I will come again and I will receive you unto myself and look forward to this, that where I am there you will be also.

Rev. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Rev. 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Andrew, Phillip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 
Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
Matthew 25:1-13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom, 2 and five of them were wise, and five of them were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept; 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.  13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day or the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

John 14:2 Let not your hearts be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Prophetic Word: March 7, 2019 – MY RETURN IS VERY NEAR: STAY FOCUSED ON HARVEST TIME!


Betty & Sharron:
(Note: The night before this message was received, I had a dream which I posted below, following this message, for your consideration)

The time is very short for my return and my coming for my bride, and if the world knew how short of a time they had, they would be on their knees before me and they would be looking for the harvest along every by-way and highway out there. 
My people are caught up in debates and endless genealogies.  They are so caught up in whose belief is right and whose interpretation of my word is the correct one, that they can’t see the lost that are right there in their midst.  They are so caught up in: this one believes this, and this one believes that and their interpretation of my scriptures that they can’t even be about the harvest which is what my main focus is!  My great commission was, that you would go along the highways and the by-ways and compel all to come in, as all are welcome at my table. 


Many disasters are shaking the four corners of this planet.  People’s hearts are ripe and they are ready – people are searching, they are trying to figure things out –some people are asking where God is and why is He doing these things and they are angry at me because they think I’ve done these things: destroyed their homes, destroyed their jobs and families, people’s lives have been lost… people are questioning.  Some people’s hearts are ready and some people’s hearts are angry, they are full of rage and wrath against me.  My people are fueling this rage and wrath by not being the light and the salt that I called them to be.
 
Image result for images harvestMy people need to turn from their wicked ways, they need to seek me with all of their hearts and they will find me.  They need to get rid of the spots and wrinkles in their lives, they need to refocus because they’re getting ready to be transferred from this world to the place that I’ve prepared for them.  I have lots of room for other people and they need to be about the harvest because that is where my heart is, in the harvest.

Many, many people are searching for me with all their hearts and my salt and light are right there, but they’re not shining with my glory on them.  They don’t have the anointing on their lives.  They are too caught up in their interpretation of the scriptures, who thinks this one is right and who thinks this one is wrong.  They are too busy debating with each other to see the harvest that is right there under their noses.  Watch and be ready for the time is very short. 

DREAM:  The Bride and Her Mother
Image result for images of grey bride dressOn March 6th, the night before the above prophecy was received, I had this dream:  I dreamt that my daughter was getting ready to walk down the aisle for her wedding – I specifically recall the color of her wedding dress was not white but was this ashy, army green color.  She was standing there smiling, thinking she was ready to walk that aisle.  I was standing with her wanting to enjoy this moment with her, but someone who I believe was the wedding director was sternly ordering me to go sit down with the rest of the people gathered waiting for the bride to appear.  I kept going back to my daughter and telling this individual: “but I am her mother, I want to be here with her”.  This director kept gently pushing me in the direction of the guests seated and telling me to go join them.  I kept telling her that I was the bride’s mother and if anyone had the right to be with her, it was me, the mother of the bride – I am the reason she is even here!  I kept going back to stand next to her.  I recall the final time, this individual had helpers to forcefully pull me away and assist me in joining the wedding guests, but I managed to pull myself away from their grasp and ran back to my daughter, grabbed her and tried desperately to cling to her and perhaps get her assistance to be with her, but she looked at me helplessly and said: “I’m sorry mamma, I can’t help you – I really want to and wish I could but I can’t”! 

I woke up thinking:  “who is this mother of the bride?”  I knew my daughter represented the bride of Christ, and that the color of her dress stood out too, and I seemed to know that the color represented a bride who was not ready – was covered with spots and wrinkles till there was no hint of white on her dress anywhere!  I came to answer my own question: who is this mother of the bride?  The answer that immediately came to my mind was: she represented Israel! After I fully awoke and had time to ponder these things prayerfully, this is what I felt it meant:

Israel is in actuality the mother of the Bride of Christ.  I felt Israel’s remorse and broken heart realizing what was taking place, this cosmic wedding and the realization that she of all people had a right to be there with her daughter, the bride.  Who deserved this honor more than me, her mother, to be with her!  In the dream, my heart was totally crushed and broken till I believe I actually woke myself up feeling that sorrow and weeping, realizing that it was a dream.  That is when the question was asked of me: “So who is this mother of the bride?”  I knew it represented Israel and the bride, with her dirty, dingy wedding dress, who was not ready – had not kept her garments white, without spot or wrinkle, watching and ready for this wedding event.  

I feel that on the day that the rapture takes place, Israel’s spiritual scales will fall off and she will realize what has just taken place, and that this event will probably be responsible for the first fruits of the “time of Jacob’s trouble” the 7 year tribulation period and in particular, the 144,000 that will evangelize the world and bring in the greatest harvest ever – the crowd John was shown in heaven.  I believe the church is being inspected for spots and wrinkles, and that judgement begins in the house of God, but where will it end?  We all know this end to be the time of great tribulation before the Lord comes with his bride to reign for 1000 years and set up his kingdom!

Stay ready as he will come at a time when we think not.  That is talking about the church: the house of God, as the world does not believe he is coming and definitely not looking for it.  Spend time with him and you will not be taken by surprise and you will be clothed in white: no spots or wrinkles through the washing of the water of the word and they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimonies!  Go laborers, as the harvest awaits:  Freely, freely you have received, freely, freely give.  Go in His name and because you believe, others will know that he lives!  If He is lifted up, He will draw all men unto him.  Redeem your time!

Prayer: Called To Pray and Fast: Prayers of righteous avail much

For some time now the Lord has nudged me to post this call to pray and my personal experience in answering this prompting.  I must say the prayers I have been wittnessing that I have prayed in secret for a while now, he is openly answering. I stand in complete amazment daily!  All believers have been called to this time of intimancy with our soon coming King.

In May of 2016, one of my friends and I were discussing fast's that we felt impressed to do and she was going to do a Daniel Fast and I thought that I would go home and pray about it and seek the kind of fast that God wanted from me. As I went home and thought about this, the fast that he brought to mind was Isaiah 58:4-12 which states:

Isa 58:4 - Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Isa 58:5 - Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Isa 58:6 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:7 - Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Isa 58:8 - Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward.
Isa 58:9 - Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isa 58:10 - And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
Isa 58:11 - And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isa 58:12 - And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isa 58:13 - If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Isa 58:14 - Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

So after figuring out the fast that the Lord wanted me to do, I got a journal and started a prayer list, which started out small at first: healing, spiritual warfare, salvation, our church and Pastor, the nations, were some of the categories that I had listed. Later I added more categories: ninteen all together. One day when I was doing my prayers, I had finished them (it probably took, maybe 15 to 30 minutes), and I had a little game on my cell phone that was called "Happy Street" and another one that was about some kind of farm animals, a game that the kids had put on my phone, for their own needs, so they could get things from me for their games.  I would play them everyday and I can't say how much time I put into these little insignificant games but everyday diligently, I fed my little virtual farm animals, did whatever the games required me to do to get points, rewards or whatever, and I kept up with these little games without fail. One day when I was sitting there, and had just gotten finished feeding my little virtual farm animals... I don't know how long it took me, but I could truthfully say maybe it took me 20-30 minutes, which was practically the whole time that I spent in my prayer time. Suddenly, the Lord spoke to me very tenderly and softly ... the only way I know how to describe it - he was not condemning. He didn't yell, just quietly said: "Do you have any idea how much time you spend on those little games that you play everyday?"  I stopped and thought about that, as I had never considered how much time it took me each day to take care of those little game things, so I started thinking about this: how much time do I spend on these little games?  I guessed it was probably somewhere around a couple hours in a twenty-four-hour period.  I thought about the Lord saying in his word in Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Immediately I decided I was going to give up my games and I said: "Lord, I'm going to take these games off my cell phone and delete them; I'm not going to play them anymore from here on and I'm giving that extra time to you in prayer. "

Something else I realized during my prayer time, was Mat 6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.  I made my room my prayer closet and started praying them outloud as I figured the bible says that every idle word will be held accountable... Mat 12:36 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  Also Pro 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  So I began speaking them aloud and figured if I'm going to be held accountable, then I will make them count and also if we can have whatever we say, I will say it in light of God's Word: Mat 17:20 - And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
(Pay attention to the words: ye shall say unto this mountain).

After a few months, maybe six months down the road, I was doing this prayer vigil when again the Lord spoke to me.  I use to have a TV program that I liked to watch every week, which I recorded called "The Pretender", plus I loved cooking and quilting programs, Hallmark Channel, Science and History documentaries, clean, safe programs, right? So usually when I finished my prayer time, I would turn television on and watch the Hallmark Channel or I would watch my other channels of interest or the one program I recorded at least once a week, whenever I found some slack time I would watch "The Pretender" program that I had recorded.  One day after I had finished watching my recorded program, again the Lord spoke very tenderly and softly to me, and said: "Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you spend watching that program each week?"  I immediately looked up the time and it said 43 minutes for each program.  The Lord then said : "Do you know how much I would love to have that time with you?" After that I decided I was going to take the cable box out of my room, which I did.  I disconnected the box,  called the cable company, canceled my cable TV, except for basic cable, which I still have but nobody watches, and the only reason I didn't cancel it was because I got a price discount for having basic cable which reduced my internet cost. So I gave up my cable TV time for the Lord and decided that I would concentrate on my prayer times again. This was probably around six months to a year after I started my prayer vidual from fifteen minutes and after approximately a year, it increased to about two and a half hours to finish all my prayers,  as it seems no one is ever removed.  I thought I would be bord and lost without TV to fill in the times but I can honestly say I don't miss it at all.  Also I do watch videos that edify and keep me up to date on end time signs as well as bible related programs (Perry Stone, Chuck Missler, etc).

One day as I was thinking about my prayer time and that they were all written down (19 different lists) I asked the Lord If this was vain repetitions you spoke about in Matthew 6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  The Lord answered: "The reason you can pray Daniel 9:3-19 today is because Daniel wrote it out and is why you have those prayers today". So I realize my prayers were still effectual even though I had written them down to keep me on task and make sure I cover everything and don't leave anything out, but I felt impressed to pray till I got the answer, pray without ceasing or till you get the answer, according to 1Thesalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing.

Something else the Lord revealed to me during these prayer times was he brought to my mind Elijah: James 5:17 - Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. God is no respecter of persons and he is the same yesterday today and forever so I kept Elijah in mind as I was speaking my prayers out loud.

One of the final revelations that the Lord gave me or asked of me again, very softly and tenderly... he said: "I need for you to pray everyday as if you are the only one on Earth giving me prayers to work with.  I want you to pray everyday as if those are the only prayers that I will have".  So everyday I take that assignment from him seriously and I do not let a day go by without praying, giving him my "to-do" list. He also constantly reminds me in John 14:12-14: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.  Jhn 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments (Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.)

During this prayer fast which has become a two and a half hour vidual daily for two and a half years (I figure I tithe 10% of my 24 hour day to the Lord) the Lord has given me several dreams regarding the prayers of the righteous availing much.  I will add the links to my blog page to these for your reference.

1. DREAM: THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD
2. DREAM: BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD
3. DREAM: DRAGON AND THE BEAST
4. DREAM: SPIRITUAL WARFARE
