Dave Roberson. In Matthew 9:38, Jesus said: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

The Endurance Prophecy 10. Prophecy And Confessions For Declaring Abundance In Matthew 9:38, Jesus said: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. God wants people to be saved more than you or I could ever possibly imagine. So why doesn't He just send the laborers Himself? WHY DOES HE NEED MY PRAYERS? Because Jesus is the Head and we are the Body. We are His hands, His feet, and His mouth. Jesus uses us to operate on the earth. Let Him use you to change things. Included with this letter are the prophecies that came forward during our 2008 October Prayer and Power Conference, including words and visions that some of the attendees received during and after the conference. Remember, a prophecy is the mind of Christ being spoken concerning His Church, His direction, and His will. Also contained within these prophecies is a confession sheet for declaring abundance and overcoming lack which will help keep you focused on God as our Father and Provider. Speaking out the truth will give God what He needs to bring about change. I started writing this letter before the elections were over because I wanted you to have the prophecies and words as soon as possible, but I felt a need to wait until the final decision was made so that I could speak comfort to some and encouragement to others no matter what the outcome would be. And this I can say: We have fought a good fight to pray for the best leadership for this nation. Always remember that it is a blessing when the government surrounding us is conducive to the promotion of the Gospel. But when this is not the case, the lack of moral leadership is not an excuse for Christians to stop praying.

Jesus said to His disciples in Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Notice here that Jesus said "all nations." You can rest assured that not all of the nations were friendly. Believers have suffered under every kind of reign imaginable to preach this Gospel. Paul said it like this in First Corinthians 4:11-16: Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off scouring of all things unto this day. I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. I have noticed one pattern keeps emerging throughout history. When it comes to persecution, the flesh wants out, but when it comes to pleasure, THE FLESH WANTS IN. For example, take a person from the impoverished conditions of a third-world country, who has survived the kind of persecution that dictates the denial of Christ. One day this person suddenly finds himself in the United States, in the "land of the free" with all its abundance, and finds out his loyalty to God is going to be more severely tried under pleasure than he ever dreamed possible under a life of adversity. Please do not misunderstand me; I believe we live in a great country. I have never known anything but freedom our founding fathers made sure of this. However, we cannot let ourselves be lulled to sleep by the pleasures of this life while legislation takes the same freedom that made our country so great and uses it to legislate morality away by rebuilding things God has already destroyed, like Sodom and Gomorrah, and the sacrifice of unborn babies on the altar of lust. The most powerful thing you can do is pray and believe that your prayers make a difference! Don't stop now! And please, get more people to pray, because again prayer really does make a difference! Be blessed always and remain in peace. Always your friend, Dave Roberson

Prophecies Received at the October Prayer and Power Conference PT081005A Oct 5, 2008 Follow Closely Your Teacher Comments - He is speaking that, along the way, the Holy Spirit has put up safeguards for me because I have worked His plan out ahead, and this is to you too. He is using it as an example: I work My plan out ahead, for when most begin to discover the depth of love that I have for them, then they fail to understand the rest of the workings of My Spirit, and then they do not understand the rest of My operation and what must be. So the enemy uses confusion to abort what they are teaching and to cause them to walk down the wrong path because they have no understanding of the fullness of Who I am and What I am. But if you will follow closely your Teacher, He will unfold that kind of love in you that will devastate the works of the enemy, and there will be no limit on what you can walk in or what My hand can do through you, says the Lord. There is a time of mighty movings of My Spirit in these last days, so hang on and rejoice; be exceedingly glad. Is there anything too hard for Me? PT081005B - Oct 5, 2008 There Is a Time of Blessing Coming Contrary to what you are hearing worldwide, and especially in your own country contrary there is a time of blessing coming on My people who serve Me, a time of blessing that will be unprecedented. And even those who believe not will have to say: This has to be something with your God. So be strong and know that the things that are happening can turn out in the salvation of many, if you are faithful to follow Me and know that I am your Provider, says the Lord. PT081005C - Oct 5, 2008 My Will Is to Meet Many Needs Through prophecy and the interpretation of it, the secrets of the heart are made manifest. [1 Corinthians 14:24,25] He is saying this: As I moved this morning [according to the leading of the Holy Spirit], He is saying that somebody responded and they wept and cried and things changed, and everything happened to them that God said. Somebody asked me (and this is still interpretation (of the tongues), they asked me, 'Why did God move like that?" And one time when I asked Him, He said, I would move for this person as quick as I could but, usually, I do not have a mouth that I can talk through." So when He does have somebody, a voice, then He will go after them just about every time. So do not think it strange when I weave or interweave the Holy Spirit in and out with the gifts

and move fluently in the Word, and back and forth, because it is My will to meet as many needs as I can and do all that I can with what you give Me to work with. PT081005D - Oct 5, 2008 Your Life Can Change From Night to Day What is it that you think will move you forward in My plan? Is it you running here and there and trying new things? Is it you hoping and thinking that all things are going to change and work out for you? Why would you speculate and give yourself over to things that are within or without reason. Give yourself to Me, for My path is always delivered and will always lead you to the success of what I said you could have in My promises and by My power, says the Lord. So why do you want to give yourself over to things that will not avail? Come aside and spend time with Me and you will see, you will see that your life can change from night to day. PT081005E - Oct 5, 2008 My Utmost Desire There are a people who are listening to Me and I have a voice so that I can speak to you. No matter what happens in the land, know you not that I can lift you up above that? For everything the devil means for disadvantage, I can turn to My advantage. I can turn the havoc that he wreaks. I can turn it into a victory that encompasses a mighty revival, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Hear, hear what the Spirit would say: My desire is for you for you to be free to move to and fro in Me and to be free to prosper and raise your children in the Promised Land. That is My utmost desire, says the Lord. It is not My will that tribulation comes first and you go through things. My will is that you approach Me because you love Me and I give you what I am and you change things. That is My perfect will. PT081008A - Oct 8, 2008 A Level of Grace I Enjoy Operating In When some things build themselves against you and against your will and they become a stronghold, they are the kind that you want to get free from. At times, through My grace and through the operations of anointings and giftings, I can destroy those things that are holding you back. I can manifest this on two levels: I can destroy that which is holding you back because it is against your will that it be there, and you have been looking to Me for answers. And the second level of My manifestations of grace is that I can give you the stamina that, even if you get knocked down one and then two or three times, you will not stop getting up and presenting yourself to Me, until you win. This is a level of grace that I enjoy operating in on your behalf, says the Lord.

PT081008B - Oct 8, 2008 My Anointing and Power Will Flood the Airways An era is coming when I will be able to use every form of communication, for in these last days knowledge has indeed increased, and I will use that to My advantage, says the Lord. The enemy has jumped ahead and he always, always tries to get the jump on what I am doing and takes the tools that were meant for My Gospel, and he spreads his purposes. Does he not jump ahead in the media? Did he not jump ahead in the movie business? Did he not jump ahead of anything that could bring you perversion and lust and fill you with images of things that should not be? All this was designed in the last day for Me, says the Lord, that every nation would hear My truth. And know this, that in these last days My anointings will reach into the rooms through media, as powerfully as they reached into those great crusades that the peoples were present in. I will heal millions at a time. I will set millions and millions free at a time. Know you not that contained within that powerful language that I have given to you for change are the keys for the release of My anointing and power that will flood the airways and prepare for My return, says the Lord? PT081008C - Oct 8, 2008 I Have Truth to Reveal It is My intention, says the Lord, that for those who have given themselves to Me, and in particular have positioned themselves for revelation knowledge, those who have given themselves to prayer and to the receiving of truth and My mysteries, that I have truth to reveal. I have truth to reveal concerning My power, and there are areas that I can be freed to move in that would shock the Church world. And those who are obeying Me are forming the foundation for Me to move, says the Lord. So be strong, be strong and continue in what you are learning. Build a foundation under yourself, for we are looking at some of the greatest times in history, as things begin to come to an end, says the Lord. PT081009A - Oct 9, 2008 I Have Found Servants I Can Bring Results (Before prayer concerning strongholds of lust) Most times in situations like this, what I lack, says the Lord, is to find the authority to deal on a level such as this. But it may please you to know that I have found servants that I can speak My mind through, therefore, I can bring results. PT081009B - Oct 9, 2008 No Standing Still and No Stopping Be strong, for it is line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little, with stammering lips and another tongue I spoke to these people. [Isaiah 28:11] Know you not that was a foundational day in the Body of Christ?

You are not going out there equipped with My Holy Spirit and My power that I will not change you from glory to glory. You are looking at time that has not been seen since the history of the world. So be strong, be strong and continue to move forward, for where you are going there is no standing still and no stopping. You must continue forward to prepare yourself for the kind of battle that you will find yourself in, says the Lord, and may My peace reign with you. 2008 October Prayer and Power Conference Words and Exhortations Received Through the Body Leave Them in My Hands There are those in this place who are in places of leadership, and there are those in this place who are not in leadership, and the same scenario has taken place. Take heed lest weariness enter in because of those whom you once considered close, who have fallen away. For you have brought them back up to Me continually [in prayer] and I say the same thing: Leave them in My hands, and you press forward. For the only way to recover these is for you to go forward and lay hold of the fullness that would set them free. There are many here who have succumbed to things which were once thought dealt with. And know that this door lies open because of those you keep wanting to associate with and be a part of their lives, when in your spirit, your spirit discerns and knows the truth, but your mind persists, and the devil says, "What about them? If you leave them behind what will happen to them?" By worrying about them, you place yourself in jeopardy by staying in a place persistently compromising to remain in their fellowship. This compromise is the compromise to the truth of My Word which I speak, which is your obedience to move forward and leave them in My hands. For a great time of confidence awaits you in this place. Remember, I am the Lord of the Harvest, and I am the Good Shepherd, so stay with Me and let Me show you the way to minister for these who have seemed to have gone astray. Their eye is not single in My ways, but they seek their own. Let Me handle this and lay hold of My freedom. And as you let go of this false responsibility, you will find a confidence in who you are and where you have attained, and that you are not in violation of love, but you indeed are walking in the truth in love. The Glory of the Lord Rising What is rising in My Church, in those who allow the Son to rise and set in them, is the glory of the Lord. It is the hour of division. There is a dividing as never before seen in the history of My people. It is a division of soul and spirit. There is coming upon the land fierceness. It is the fierceness of the Sons of Righteousness. They will walk with no fear among the enemy, as they are led by the spirit within them. Mountains melt like wax before those who abide in My Presence, who no longer are led by the soul, but by the spirit.

It is a time of the great divide the division of soul and spirit as never before seen in the history of My Church. These will be the people who know their God and do great exploits. The conquering of the soul is a fierce war that produces a fierce people My Sons of Righteousness. My Sons of Righteousness have been fighting a fierce war and are about to be manifest in the fierceness of My love, My nature. Nothing can stand before this image of My nature, as nothing could stand before My Son. It is a time of awakening, and many will wonder, Where have these come from? Where have these been hidden? And the answer shall be: They have been hidden in the secret place of the Most High. They have been hidden, learning to live in My Presence, out of My nature that is new. The times seem bad and the future can seem bleak, but it is the brightest day yet that is coming. Nothing can stand before the light of My glory as My sons bring My Kingdom into the earth. Oh, how I have longed for this day. This longing cannot be known by a man. It is the longing of the Creator for the revealing of the "Sons of His Glory" the true Sons of Righteousness. It is a new day; it is a new era being ushered in, and it will not be without war. It will not be without battle, and it will not be without cost, but it will be glorious in the purity. What a day to live in who you are in Me. Don't stop, don't skip a beat or miss a step, but continue on the path that you have chosen, which I have laid before you. Your greatest hour is at hand. Concerning the Cloud The Strategies of the Enemy A dream was given in which an extremely large and dark cloud was coming as an enemy assignment against the Body of Christ. In that cloud is the destructive weapon of worry the worry about who they are in Me [speaking of those who become devourable]. They have allowed the things of the flesh to mount up in them without resisting them and without using the authority that is within against these things. One of the BIG tactics of the enemy that is rising is jealousy, because it is so divisive. It shows itself most often as offense because they don't know their place in Me, so they lust after a place that is not theirs in My Body. They lust after fleshly "rights," which only appease the weaknesses in the flesh, in the soul, and these ways are totally opposed to Me. As I divide the soul and spirit, Satan wants to come and divide My Body. He must not have his way. My people must continue in the mortification process so that all these things within their souls will lay dead at their feet.

They must continue in the fierceness of the spirit to oppose these weapons of the flesh that the enemy uses. Do not stand for division. Stop it at its onset. Leave no room for offense to run rampant through the weak ones stop it at its onset through truth. Speak the Word in love and truth, but speak it. Carry no weapons of the flesh, but carry only the weapons of the spirit, and stop it at its onset. The enemy has set up camp to begin this onslaught, but he can and must be stopped by the authority that is in you. Use the weapons of My warfare I have given you and declare your authority and your victory over this ambushment that is set against you. It is the hour to rise up against it. Dream Regarding Our Authority In a dream, the Holy Spirit used imagery to communicate a truth we are to rise up and walk in. I saw a minister standing before a couple. The minister was about to unite them in marriage and I heard him say, "By the authority invested in me, I now pronounce..." The Holy Spirit then said to me: In the same way that the civil government empowered this minister with authority, I also have invested my authority in you. Within you resides the authority to speak against anything that stands before you, whether sickness, disease, circumstances, or devils. You have the authority to remove anything that is not of Me according to the power invested in you. Now rise up and use it! I Look to You Many have looked to a man to carry revival, yet I look to My Body. I came into the earth as a man and I carried the revival My Father put in Me in My nature, by the working of His Spirit. Now this revival shall be carried by My Body left behind to finish My work. As men and women wake up to this truth that "I look to you" to bring My Kingdom into the earth, then can My revival be poured out into the earth. I have been getting a people ready but will need more than these to take this revival to every corner and every crack and crevice of this earth so that all who long for Me, the Truth-Giver, will be able to receive of My outpouring. I have longed for the day that is being ushered in, but to you I say: It is not a time to be slack in how you present yourself to Me as a living sacrifice of mortification to all the ways of the flesh. To My Body I say: Press in. To My Body I say: Be not weak but strong as you push yourself, by My grace, into places in Me yet to be attained. Take no comfort in weakness, rather, resist it. Weaknesses of the flesh must be resisted by the grace that is in My mortification process.

As you continue to pray in tongues, the deeds of the flesh are mortified. As you worship, the strength to the soul is overcome by the strengthening of My spirit which then establishes that place of peace in the soul. As you fast, you position yourself in that place called "Done," where I died in your place, and you rose in the strength of My grace with Me. As you take these and all the keys I have given you, and those I will give you, let your walk with Me be a run, for the race is for the swiftest to race. There is urgency in the pace, for your adversary is walking about seeking whom he may devour. Be not devourable! Cast every care on Me so that you might continue on in speed. The time is coming and, yes, is at hand that I will see what I have longed to see an outpouring of My Spirit on all flesh who will receive that they might be made new and become more like Me. So take the times that I give you to come together and be strengthened, as My Body, in Me, and continue to run the race most swiftly, to press into all I have made you to be. It is not the time to be slack. It is not a time to "rest on your laurels," for the laurels go to those who run their race and complete it. The race is still to be run, and the pace that is set is a swift one. Don't stop in the race to help those who falter. I have a way to help those who falter. I have a way to help them. Your task is to finish the race that is set before you. Run with diligence the race that is set before you. Don't look back at those who lose pace with you, keep your eyes on Me. I am the goal that is set before you all the fullness that is in Me. There is grace for all to run. There is grace for all to stay in the race. Take your grace and keep your eyes on Me. The 'What If' God Generally, the words "what if" when spoken in connection to a stand of faith, are not perceived as being acceptable in the realm of faith. Generally, to contemplate any possibility beyond the stand you are taking in the spirit would be a violation of your position of faith, but My Body needs to understand that there are exceptions to the rule when it comes to dealing as children of light in a world of darkness. When you're speaking of My love to you and the power of My redemption and everything that the Cross provided for you as an inheritance, there is no room for possibilities. These things are absolute. Your stand of faith and confession must give no room for the possibilities for Me to fail you. In the realm of this world have I not said, "In this world you will have tribulation?" Much of My Body is trying to take a strong stand in their faith and confession, and yet the words of what if keep surfacing in their thoughts: What if certain people are elected? What if the very things we are praying against comes to pass? What happens then? Where do we as the Body of Christ go from here? Did we, the praying Church, fail God because the "what if" came to pass? I desire to eliminate all fear from My Church because fear has torment, but perfect love

casteth out fear. I desire you to be perfected in My love. This is why I come to reason with you, saith the Spirit of Grace. I am God and know the beginning from the end. I know who will be your President-elect in just a few days, but I desire that your hearts are so settled in My future for you, that I can best use your faith for the present. What if "the worst" happens? When the great king Nebuchadnezzar declared himself to be God and erected the statue to be worshiped, he gave no alternative, and yet there were those of My children who reasoned in faith and said these things with a "what if" involved. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, 0 king. But if not, be it known unto thee, 0 king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (Dan 3:17-18) The "what if" spoken by those men of faith was not doubt, but rather, a predetermination in their heart to serve Me no matter what the outcome would be. I rewarded their faith and stood with them in the fire and delivered them out of the fire. Understand that when My people of the Old Testament were carried away into the Babylonian captivity, not all of these people were unrighteous. In fact, I had many righteous that were carried away under the penalty of that judgment that came to Israel as a nation. But the people that knew their God were strong and did exploits. Read My Word and see. Is there not an example? The people who went through the most evil administrations with an unyielding conviction were always the ones that were most highly exalted by Me and even by their very captors. Remember that their testimony to Me in the midst of tribulation stopped the mouths of lions and delivered them out of the fire and even eventually converted the heart of a wicked king. Do not be afraid of your future, says the Lord, no matter what. I have plans to exalt My Church in the midst of darkness. A city set on a hill cannot be hid, and you will burn with a great intensity to this world until that coming of My Son, saith the Lord. Pray for Leaders Righteous or Unrighteous I woke up at 4:00 a.m. with a strong awareness of the Presence of the Holy Spirit being with me. I have been doing my best to listen to what He might say to me from the mind of Christ. I remember well Jesus' teaching that the Holy Spirit does not speak of Himself (on His own accord, on His own authority), but rather, what He hears, that is what He speaks. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. John 16:13,14 Being omnipresent, the Holy Spirit is constantly in the Presence of Christ in Heaven and constantly with each and every one of us on earth at the same time. If we will take the time to get quiet and listen, He always brings us the mind of Christ. Sometimes it comes by visions

and dreams. Sometimes it comes by the voice of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it comes by revelation alone. This morning He keeps speaking to me directly from the Word of God. The first passage I hear is: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim 2:1-4) Notice this instruction does not change depending on who is in governmental office at the time. It does not say, "Pray for the godly leaders who are in office, but don't pray for the ungodly leaders who are in office." In fact, when this passage was penned by the Apostle Paul's hand by way of instruction from the Holy Ghost, the pagan Roman Empire was in authority. The pagans were in authority over the Christians! God wanted the Christians to be praying for the pagan rulers who were in office at the time? Yes He did! Why does that surprise us? What if your very worst enemy was in government to rule over you? What if someone who hated you and all that you stand for was in office? What would Christ's instructions to the Church be? But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. (Luke 6:27,28) Whether the candidate you wanted to be in office was elected or not, one thing is certain: The next President of the United States of America will be facing monumental problems. He needs God's help to make decisions that will allow us to "lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." The President of the United States needs the prayers of the Christians, and as for me, I have made up my mind: I will obey this command given by the Holy Spirit. The other passage of Scripture that keeps coming to my mind this morning concerns Daniel during the time of the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar's rule over the people of Israel. Through no fault of his own, Daniel lived during a time when he (and all of Israel) was governed by a pagan king. Daniel (and others) continued to live godly lives even as they functioned righteously within the pagan government system. They did not become terrorists! They did not try to overthrow the government by force. Rather, they refused to compromise in their walk with God. They would not bow to worship pagan gods. They would not bow down before the golden idol that Nebuchadnezzar set up of himself. Neither the fiery furnace nor the lion's den could persuade them to forsake the only true and living God! They were salt to a lost world. They were light in a world of darkness. What was the final result? Nebuchadnezzar himself became a believer! Listen to the words of this once pagan king as he declares to the world that the God of Daniel is truly God! And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto Heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of Heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour

and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of Heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. (Dan 4:34-37) God's power has not changed. Christ's instruction to the church to pray for those in governmental authority over us has not changed. As Daniel and his friends were salt and light in their generation, so now let us be salt and light in our generation. Let us walk righteously and holy without compromise before our God. And let us pray for the leaders of this nation. THE ENDURANCE PROPHECY First Meeting at The Prayer Center March 2, 1989 When you have done all you know to do to stand, stand, therefore, saith the Spirit of Grace. For truly, I desire to shake this place by My power. Take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and, again I would say, when you have done all you know to do, stand. Stand, therefore! The key word shall be ENDURANCE, saith the Spirit of Grace. For I will teach you by My power and by My Spirit how to keep building in power until your endurance will produce My desired will in this place. I will train you about the snares and the traps of the enemy, and if you will pray and make it past those hard places, I will give you divine wisdom and understanding that will at last produce power that you can say is of Me. I desire to pour My miracles out of you. I desire to shake this city and train many people before this first phase of what I want to do is through. So gird yourself up and be strong on My behalf, for I will show you some things by My Spirit that you can have for an eternity. They will last. I am giving you equipment that will work a great reward. For many of you are hungry and have desired to see these things, and I will lead you into that kind of reward. So be brave and stand strong saith the Spirit of Grace! I will work mighty, mighty miracles before this is done; you will not lose your place, and your reward shall be exceedingly great. Heed what the Spirit will say, for something new I begin this day. Great peace is My desire for you, that you may fellowship with Me in love and I can filter through and through your life. I desire to take you from where you are to a place with Me. It is a place you have known about way down deep in your spirit that, from the foundations of the world, I have prepared for you. As I lead you from place to place, I desire to flow through you with grace, and if you will edify and edify and edify yourself, you will see before this is through, that I will purge from you everything that is causing you to fail. You will not only taste the victory that changing circumstances can bring, but you will taste the victory of the resounding peace inside you that will dominate everything in a circumference around you. Oh! For edification, edification, edification; higher, higher, higher in Me; that you will complete the first foundation of your life so that I may be able to move you into intercession, that you can cause those that are bound to be set free. Satan is furious, saith the Spirit of Grace. He already is mad and is stirring up the demons as a whirlwind against this place, but stand fast and edify yourself into a place with Me, and when the storm comes, you will be

delivered. Oh! You will be able to deliver the power that is of Me. So be glad for the wellsprings of life and the counsel in the heart of man. I will draw it out, for there are many matters of wisdom that I desire for you to understand. I will teach you to walk in power. For My children, the thing between what I desire and what is now taking place is being purged every hour. Many people come to this city for training, you see, and oh, I desire to give them full training that they may leave in My power. So know this, all of you who said, "I hunger and thirst after righteousness": You shall be full. I will bring you into a place with Me. Yes, I will bring you into a place with Me. PROPHECY/CONFESSIONS FOR DECLARING ABUNDANCE Take My Word and speak against the strongholds of lack. As you declare an abundance, you will release Me, for the membrane between Me and you is getting very thin, and I will be able to come and pour out on your circumstances from within you, because that is how close I am. So speak the victory, pull down the strongholds, and rejoice. Spend extra time in worshiping and praising Me, because I am close. An outpouring is close. It will be preceded by My pouring out on many of you to prepare the way, to get things ready, to take every media, to pull down every stronghold that I might establish My foundation. Rejoice and be glad, for you who have ears to hear are going into the land of plenty. I need you as a testimony of what is over there, so be strong. Bring it back to those who ride the fence, and say, "Get in, for He loves you!!" Personalized Confessions for Declaring Abundance I take Your Word and speak against the strongholds of lack. As I declare an abundance, I release You, for the membrane between You and me is very thin, and You are able to come and pour out on my circumstances from within me, because that is how close You are. So I speak the victory and pull down the strongholds and rejoice. I spend extra time in worshiping and praising You because You are close. An outpouring is close. It will be preceded by You pouring out on many of us to prepare the way, to get things ready, to take every media, to pull down every stronghold so that You might establish Your foundation. I rejoice and I'm glad, for I have ears to hear and I am going into the land of plenty. I am Your testimony of what is over there, so I am strong. I bring it back to those who ride the fence, and I say, "Get in, for He loves you!!" Father, we speak Your Word and say that Jesus came that we might have life, and we have it more abundantly. [John 10:10] No weapon that is formed against us prospers, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we condemn. This is our heritage as servants of the Lord, and our righteousness is of You, Lord. [Isaiah 54:17]

We say that we know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might be rich by His grace we are made rich. [2 Cor. 8:9] Your grace abounds towards us, and we always have all sufficiency in all things and are abounding to every good work. [2 Cor. 9:8] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but we seek the Lord and lack no good thing. [Psalm 34:10] What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Yes, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us. [Romans 8:31,32,37] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. [1 John 5:4] So as Your children, Father, we pull down the strongholds of lack and poverty over ourselves, our ministry, our entire family, and the commission You have given us. We condemn the tongues of those demonic spirits from dominating our lives with their words and activities, and tell them to cease and go to the dry, void places and be bound there, in the name of Jesus, by the power of the blood. Praise Him. Praise Him. We have victory! We have abundance!
