A Call To Prayer

I will light a fire within; a burning desire; I will compel My people to come before their God. There is a great outpouring to come on My people as NEVER before. I will raise up the weak from the ashes of rejection; I will give to My church a fulfillment in Me as they have not known. For I shall change My church. They have not built well upon My Foundation of Jesus Christ.

Some have allowed pride, deception, jealousy to over-rule their lives and they have been caught un-aware. They have forgotten that in all things I have said to call on Me. Yet they rely not on their creator but their own creations. My Son did nothing that He did not ask of Me first, and as I did so did He. I tell you My people that this is a time of intercession; a time for many watchmen on the wall to be raised up. Pray as never before. There are many battles to be fought and to be won BUT you MUST pray.

The fervent prayer of My righteous availeth much indeed. Did not Moses stay My hand and wrath against the people with His desperation of prayer? Did not the prison doors spring open and set Peter free because there were those united in one purpose in prayer; Did not Elisha have fire from heaven come down because he prayed to Me with passion and with desperation and it consumed the water and burnt the sacrifice before the prophets of Baal? Do you not see the POWER and AUTHORITY you receive in prayer? Why then do you treat it so casually? Where is your faith and your belief?

For I tell you that unless My people come together in one united purpose than the plans I have for you will be greatly affected and stalled. It is the prayers of My people that bring forth the harvest, that bring forth the word confirmed with signs and wonders. Some of you are lazy and lax in your time with Me and pray half-heartedly and without passion or desperation. I tell you these are very desperate times for My people and you must pray as never before.

I am calling My people to prayer. I am bringing them to a new and higher level of prayer and intercession. But first my people must lower themselves for some are too haughty and prideful. Some are jealous of one another's calling and do not know that each of you are to flow with one another and not against. You are to be knit together in perfect harmony. Lay aside your agendas; listen well to My prophets and heed their every word. Do not shun correction but embrace it for in it is great growth in Me.

A great and mighty army is being prepared for the battle in the heavens and soon they will march forth but know that also Satan has his own army and he is also making ready for the battle; it is in your prayers that this battle will be won or lost. Either My will for My people will be escalated and vaulted forth or it will be put back to begin again. Why do you wait for My hand to move when it is in your prayer the power to move My hand? Take hold of the power and of the authority given to you by My Son and speak it forth.

Pray My people PRAY for you shall decide your future.
