People are teetering in fear from global terrorism. The recent terrorist bombings in London quickly reminded Americans of the 9-11 tragedy on our own soil. On that early September morning, an idealism that will never return was stolen from American hearts. Not only did the twin towers topple, but so did our sense of feeling invincible and strong. The illusion of being untouchable was buried among the rubble of twisted iron and charred debris. The borders of the United States suddenly seemed very penetrable. The explosions in London’s tube system carry a similar weight for the British and a heightened sense of fear echoes around the globe, recalling similar attacks in Madrid and Israel.

We face the haunting reality that at any moment our city or nation could be targeted with limited biological or even nuclear warfare. Did you ever wonder if it was safe to open your mail after the anthrax scare? Do you pause a moment before taking an airplane? Do you think twice before boarding a bus or subway? With the current eruption of violence, do you ever question if your child’s school is safe? Simply stated, hearing God’s voice is one of our greatest weapons in these perilous times. To hear God’s voice, we must walk in close intimacy with Him and spend time daily in the Word and prayer.

For a generation that has never seen a world war on American soil, the shockwaves of 9-11 rippled through every level of society. As kamikaze aircraft on suicide missions suddenly crashed into the World Trade Center (the financial mecca of America) and the Pentagon (the center of governmental strategies); America essentially had a heart attack. For a brief moment, it seemed like the entire nation was paralyzed. As we recently watched the soot- covered Londoners stumbling out of smoke-filled stations, or carried on gurneys bruised and bleeding, we were reminded that this is a very strategic hour. This is a time of war. We are in a window of preparation. The Lord is calling His prayer warriors to come forth. In addition to terrorism, there is renewed fear of financial shaking, stock market collapse, unemployment, fuel shortages and the unnerving concerns of seeing our sons and daughters being drafted to the front lines of raging wars. “Peace, peace at any price,” is the cry of most of our hearts. However, should we trade our personal and national freedoms for false global peace because the fear of evil alliances and the anti-

Christ loom in the future? If we move too quickly, it is feasible that in our lifetime many of our democratic nations could move into martial law, one-world government, one-world religion, and a one-world financial system.

This is the first time in history where the majority of Christians believe we are living in the generation when the Lord will return. Even in secular media, there is a common theme that the end of the world is at hand. Can people find their refuge in planning escape routes, stocking their basements as we did before Y2K and believing in any religious doctrine or political system that will give them a false sense of security?

The Church Is Unprepared
News from Great Britain has reported people turning to prayer during the attack in hearing the news. Once again, throughout the earth, there is a global awakening -- a call for prayer.

In America after 9-11, church attendance skyrocketed as the doors of sanctuaries swung open promising answers and comfort. Rather than encountering a lovesick God who could meet them in their darkest need, the church was barren. The leaders were largely as confused as the people, and the voices of the prophets were few and far between. Their questions were not answered, their hearts were not encouraged, and they left wondering, “Where is God? How could a loving God allow this?” As a result, church attendance is currently lower than before 9-11!!!

Since then in America, sports attendance has soared, movies have prospered, and we continue our lives with business as usual. Though we have tried to anesthetize our pain through entertainment, we have not forgotten. Though we have buried our dead, our fears have never left us. Somewhere in the back of our mind, we are wondering when the next heart attack will happen. It is imperative that we call forth the watchmen and intercessors and reflect the pure love of Jesus.

Fresh Strategies from the Heavens
Whenever the city gates are at war, the Lord raises up prophets. Whenever there is great conflict, God will raise up men and women to hear His voice from Heaven and bring it down for that time and season. As we are moving into great shaking on the earth today, the Lord is going to raise up many of you to stand in the counsels of God and bring down wisdom, revelation and legislation from Heaven to earth.

Reese Howell, a radical apostolic intercessor in World War II, is an example of this. He would go up into the heavens with a group of intercessors, and they would see the enemy’s strategies and God’s strategies. They would intercede from the heavens and change the course of the War. The Lord is looking for people who are willing to move at a governmental level to ask Him what is over the land and territory.

The Lord is mobilizing global prayer warriors to invade the kingdom of darkness that threatens our borders and other nations. These intercessors will stand in the gap to bring down fresh strategies and blueprint plans from God’s kingdom. I feel like the Lord is raising up a remnant of valiant prayer warriors across all denominations around the earth. These radical ones are crying out, “Lord, we want to go into the heavens and see what is happening, so we can impact our world.”

He is asking you to cry, “Jesus, help us to be a people who would know the times and seasons, and bring down revelation and application that can start to break open territories with revival and a great harvest of souls.” He also wants us to ask Him to show us fresh strategies for our own families.

The Great Harvest of Souls Especially during this time of shaking, Jesus desires His bride to love Him passionately above all. To accomplish this abandonment, every idol will be knocked over, all crutches will be kicked out, and any houses built on sand will crumble. Greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit will bring down a greater outpouring of the spiritual gifts of prophecy, healing, discernment, words of knowledge, and deliverance, which will transform secular society and bring multitudes to the glorious Son, Jesus. The Gospel will touch every tribe and tongue. Holy Covenants versus Evil Alliances As we are moving into the end times, evil rulers are coming into place. This is not a time for church as usual. This is a time for the fathers and mothers to raise up the next generation to come into place and to get fully equipped with the priestly garments of worship and prayer. This is a time for divine connections and holy covenants to be mobilized as the Lord is sovereignly connecting people across denominations and nations.

There is a divine shifting taking place. The Lord is moving the players powerfully, like a huge global chessboard. It is a very exciting, yet dangerous time in the Spirit. James Bond-type, Special-Ops units are being formed and networking behind the enemy lines with prayer, fasting and loving the Word and worship as their key battle tactics. He prepares each of us in the secret place of prayer and intimacy to suddenly be released in our destiny. Once again, global awakening from the throne room is the call for prayer.

As militant Islamic extremists become more and more brazen in their tactics, another attack is not up for speculation, but it's imminent. We are in a season of impending war. As we move deeper into the end times, we will experience the best and the worst of times.

A Prayer Army of Holy Revolutionists
The battle of the ages will boil down to two governments colliding. It will be a horrendous time of fear versus extraordinary faith -- evil alliances versus holy covenants. Both kingdoms are passionate after the souls of men. It is passion versus passion, and fire versus fire.

Clashing kingdoms force us to deal with real issues like abortion, pornography, same-sex marriages, and prayer in school. Where there is radical compromise in our court systems, we need to cry out for justice. The power and authority of the Kingdom of God begins on our knees and in prayer in the secret place.

As watchmen, we are positioned on the walls of our cities and nations and we need to legislate from the heavens to bring down revelation and shift the evil laws of the lands. Whenever there is heavy warfare, God raises up a standard. A radical army of holy revolutionists is being prepared in secret just like the militant extremists organizing in hidden terrorist cells. The Lord is setting in place end-time generals who will emerge victoriously to lead the troops to war.

A Call to the Secret Place
Beloved, God has given me a mandate to blow a trumpet and sound an alarm to summon the troops to return to our First Love and run to the secret place. We need to abide in this secret place and develop a history and deep relationship with the Lord through all of life’s ups and downs. In times of global shaking, we are reminded to humble ourselves and ask the Lord to bring us into a fresh fire of holiness, making a new covenant of intimacy with Him. Yes, we want to move as holy revolutionists; but we need to move with purity and humility. Be encouraged that those who come out of the secret place passionately in love with Him will be armed with wisdom and discernment for the hour at hand. The Lord’s call for these perilous times is, “Come away with Me, My Beloved.”
