"The Daniel 9 Prayer" for Japan

All through biblical history, the prophets were known for making prayers of repentance and requesting mercy. Would you join us in praying Daniel 9 over and on behalf of Japan and Asia?


Daniel 9
I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed:
       "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

"Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah and people of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you. O LORD, we and our kings, our princes and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; we have not obeyed the LORD our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you."

       "Therefore the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against you. You have fulfilled the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us great disaster. Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem. Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. The LORD did not hesitate to bring the disaster upon us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him."

"Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. O Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill. Our sins and the iniquities of our fathers have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn to all those around us."

"Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name."

The Seventy "Sevens"

While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the LORD my God for his holy hill- while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. He instructed me and said to me, "Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the message and understand the vision:

Answered Prayers: "...and O that a spirit of repentance would fall..."

For a number of years now, the Lord has been stirring the hearts of Japanese, Asian and non-Asian alike in the matter of repentance. As a house of prayer, our part in this stirring is to pray this into a daily reality. Since we held our first prayer meeting in November of 2008, God has brought believers across our paths one by one with the same cry of intercession in their hearts and spirits.

In fact, one of the prayer points on our 10+1 prayer list is for a spirit of repentance to fall upon the church of Japan that she may repent for the sins of the church towards the people of Japan and Asia. This is something we've been praying for with diligence for over a year now- having joined ranks with the voices of all those who've ever cried out to the heights of heaven with this matter heavy on their minds.

At the end of the Tokyo 2010 Conference, it seems the Lord set things in motion to cause that prayer to begin to manifest in a very big way. So big, it even made a post on the Elijah List. Please rejoice in the greatness of our God as you read the article in the link below. This indeed is heavens response to golden bowls filled with prayer and incence.

WORD FOR JAPAN

October 28, 2001

Category: Prophetic Words, Asia

By: Cindy Jacobs

God’s love is very intense for Japan...

Prophetic Intercession Conference, Harvest Rock Church

I have a WORD for Japan. Oh, I’m so excited. God’s love is very intense for Japan and the Lord would say, “Surely I have heard the cries of my Japanese people. Many have said revival cannot come to Japan, but I would say, TRULY I am going to do a work that the nations will wonder at when they hear about Japan, says the Lord.“

For my Japanese people are my warriors and I am getting ready to release a new sound of war that will be a God sound out of Japan.

The Lord says: I am truly going to move among the students, for there will be a student revival which will be birthed, says the Lord.The Lord says, I am going to move… form Hokkaido to Okinawa, I am going to move from the North to the South and I’m going to move from the North to the South an I’m going to come together by MY SPIRIT, says the Lord… and the Lord says, “For this is the day I am going to reconcile the evangelicals and the new churches … the charismatic type of church… I am getting ready to move by my Spirit and Japan is a sword in my hand …

And I will move the Japanese and they will touch Bangladesh, all of Southeast Asia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Lord says … I am getting ready to send missionaries, missionaries, missionaries, for there will be a missions movement out of Japan says the Lord…

And the Lord says … “I will not forget the cries of my martyrs and the cries of my people from this great Nation, says the Lord.”

Revelation: Gates of Jerusalem

Here is an interesting revelation with back to Jerusalem Movement connections:

Standing in Jerusalem, looking out of each of the 12 gates, there are 3 main gates that cover Asia.

• Japan, much of China, Mongolia and others are included in the Lion's Gate.
  
• The rest of China, most of India and most of the smaller South-eastern Asian nations are included in the Golden Gate.
  
• What's left of India, Indonesia, Australia & New Zealand are included in the Bethany Gate.
  

It is interesting that Japan is inside of the Lion's Gate. Surely this is no accident.

Abba, that you would continue to reveal the thoughts of your heart on this- that we may know how and what to pray. May we also have a deeper understanding of Your signs and symbols....

Prayer Focus 2009: Human Trafficking

Starting in October 2008, God began revealing bit by bit the item of prayer we would be focusing on in 2009.

It began at the 6 day conference in The Altar IHOP, Meadville when Billy Humphrey of the Atlanta IHOP shared some of the things his team had been led to pray regarding Human Trafficking in their area.

The adventure that ensued was an intriguing series of conversations, website finds, news articles, magazine articles, pod cast topics, facebook videos, networking connections & links highlighting "human trafficking" as a common thread. It became quite apparent quite quickly this was a series of events the likes of which, none but God could orchestrate.

The final two confirmations coming on January 14th, our second session of the new year. I had asked specifically for God to show us when to start praying on this matter and also for Him to show us who we were up against. Two items that I strongly felt were important as this was no small prayer petition and knew it mean we'd be coming up against some very serious strongholds in Asia as well as Japan.

The answer came during our time of worship when our worship leader for the evening started praying on these things within the first 5-10 minutes of our session. We had not discussed any matter on this topic beforehand and his worship was very much being led by the Spirit.

"Start praying on this from today," was the message loud and clear. So, that's what we did.

Within two weeks from the day we started to pray, we were connected with one of the most active organizations in Japan that deals with the human trafficking issue. Polaris Project Japan 

Within a few months, a report was prepared for Exodus Cry (a ministry born out of IHOP-KC dedicated specifically to prayer over human trafficking) and the altar IHOP, tokyo on the status of human trafficking in Japan. The report looked at the history of the nation as a whole and drew connections to generational iniquities and spiritual dynamics in addition to the facts taken from the standard record keeping offices.

In May/June a report was sent out from Polaris Project Japan stating Amazon.com- Japan has agreed to pull 84 items out of a requested 136 items from their website. The items on this list was essentially soft-porn picture books, DVDs and other print items depicting minors aged 8-17. For more information on this, please click this link: Polaris Project Japan Issue No. 24

Opportunities have risen to pray for and with individuals who have been involved in the sex entertainment industry in Japan in their past.

And, as of today, God has brought several individuals to the altar IHOP, tokyo who have a passion for working with very broken people. Especially women who have been prostitutes and who have come from some very tough backgrounds. 

We have also started talking about preparations for starting an Exodus Cry chapter under the umbrella of the altar IHOP, tokyo which, if all goes well, will be launched sometime before the end of the year... but- we'll see how things go.

Looping back to the human trafficking report on Japan for a moment, that will be posted in multiple parts on the blog shortly. Please stay tuned!

grace & glory

"The Jabez Prayer"

"Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request."

1 Chronicles 4.9-10

The first time I had ever heard about or read this prayer was back in May 2001, around the time Bruce Wilkinson released the book titled "The Prayer of Jabez, Breaking Through to the Blessed Life."

I remember reading on page 33 where he challenges a group of students at a university in California, USA to ask God for big. He said, "You should ask God for Trinidad... and a DC-10." It was but one sentence and it forever changed the way I looked at praying.

I realized until that point, my prayers, the prayers I'd been taught to pray as I grew up in church, the prayers I heard others praying around me most of the time... they were too small. And because of their smallness, they were in fact a reflection of how we (I specifically) saw God. That the biggest I could expect was a feeble answer to a feeble prayer that affected me, myself and I and not much or anyone else of consequence.

Yet, when I read my bible, there was this God who drew out an entire nation of slaves from the nation in which they were enslaved to. I saw that this same God used one man to change the lives of millions, to birth forward a nation and release the awesomeness of Jehovah into the earth realm.

And here I was going, "God... please fix my life. It sucks."

True, at that time, it totally did. I was very much at the start of reaping a previous 7 year season of bad fruits that I'd so diligently sown much to my ignorance and youth. Though, much else was due to my own stubbornness, pride and anger which took a deep root in my heart. Yet, even in those dreadful seasons of reaping and sowing, God is merciful and his grace is abounding.

He used every one of those difficult days to teach me to pray. 

He uses Mr. Wilkinson's book to fuel that process along all the more. 

I remember after reading that page 33... I stopped what I was doing, and just sat there going, "God.. these guys asked your for a whole country. A whole island... uh... I'm on an island. I'm in Japan. I'm already here so I don't need a DC-10... but I think, I just may be crazy bold enough to ask you for something."

I continued on something in this vein, "Alright God.... whatever happens... I'll stay in Japan. But, the deal is, you give me Japan if I stay, you give me Japan. Ah... no. Actually, I'm changing my mind. I want Asia. Asking you for only Japan is too small. I want Asia. So, that's the deal. I stay here... endure this horrible hell that I live in right now... make it through (IF I make it through to the other side) and I want Asia in exchange."

"Oh.. and God... we'll need more people. So, send them on the DC-10's or 747's or boats or whatever. Just sent them here too."

Yeah. That's the deal I made with God. Crazy hu? 

Tell me about it. But, as I said my life sucked- well... it was way beyond that. It was a living hell and I figured I didn't have much else to loose by asking for some of the most outrageous things I could think up. At the time, asking God for Asia was as close to impossible as I could dream up.

And then, I prayed.... I think as desperately as Jabez himself... "Oh God.... that you would see fit to bless me. I know I've done so much to screw up that I don't even deserve to come before you with this request but, the fact I'm here now asking has got to mark for something. Right? I mean.... you can either kill me now or answer me. There's not much else that can occur."

"And... this territory thing. I don't know what Jabez was referring to when he asked you for increase but, I know ... well, I think I know what I'm asking you for. I want Asia. I want Japan and I want Asia. Somehow, to ask for anything less just seems like an insult to who you are. I want to have my own business so I can give things to people who need them. I want your hand AND your favor to be with me. I won't be able to do anything unless your hand of protection is over me and your favor is with me. And God... I NEED you to keep me from evil... from harm. For my own sake and for the sake of others- that I might not cause pain either to them or to yourself."

We now have a HOP in Tokyo. (Which was born out of much pain and tearful contending.) We are talking about starting to sow into some ministries in other Asian countries... God is bringing connections weekly world wide with other HOPs and ministries... He is indeed answering this prayer.

The next one I suppose ought to be, "Abba... show us what to pray for next.... and how to pray for more specific things inside of this request for Japan & Asia to become your territory. Continue to displace the thrones, powers, authorities, principalities and all others who set themselves up above Your Name in this region that this may be known among the nations as the dwelling place- the territory of the Most High."

Grace & glory to you as we content for His will over the Nations and the Peoples of the earth.

Thank you Abba for who you are!

Prophetic Date: 6/21/2009

It was no small task making the decision to move forward with the altar IHOP, tokyo's growth this past month.

Since our launch, back in November of 2008, it's been a given that we'll be expanding in many ways as we move towards our goal of night and day 24/7.365 intercession over Japan and Asia. Firstly, as Abba leads more people to join us and secondly, by the addition of prayer sessions, prayer & worship sessions and various types of teaching & training encounters.

On June 21, 2009, we marked our first Sunday Night teaching session in which a vision was cast in a stairwell with royal blue carpet cascading down and an automatic motion detecting light. A location just as prophetic and symbolic of things to come as the date.

Among them, that we are on the basement level of a new thing God's doing in Japan. We are fast ascending and heeding the calling He's extended towards us to "come up here my beloved..." That we (the body of christ) still need the keys to open doors... but that they are coming soon. And that we are firmly planted in the river of the water of life that's spoken about in Ezekiel's writings and so, so much more.

The date however being the focus of this posting, has a scripture to match and a very good one at that. Matthew 6.21 which states, "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be." (NLT)

It is interesting that, before the throne of God, there is an altar containing golden bowls of incense which contain the prayers of the saints presented before Him. It is interesting that the name of this HOP is "the altar." It is also interesting that our focus is such a similar reflection to the things that are in the throne room. 

That the prayers of the saints are the treasures placed before Abba on His altar....

That we come to His "altar" to offer up our prayers as sweet incense before him and so often, those offerings... those prayers are a reflection of the treasures we have laid up on the altars of our own hearts.

It's through the act of prayer and humble worship of the King of kings that we transfer those oh so precious cares, concerns and loved ones from one altar to the next. When we lay our hearts, our hopes, our visions and our dreams upon Abba's altar our treasures become His and His treasures become ours. It is as simple as this yet, there is so much more.

What better way than to spend time dwelling in a place literally called "the altar" to represent the location of our most precious possession? Which is and always should be, Him. After all, wasn't He Himself laid up an offering of sacrifice upon an altar once too?

Asia in prophecy: a word from Chuck D. Pierce

Hello tribe!

Here is another word that was forwarded to me by my friend. This was also last year (June of 2008) but, it seemed good to post it here on the HOP blog now.

Be blessed!

Chuck Pierce: 預言　

Ｄａｎｃｅ　ｍｙ　ｎｅｗ　ｄａｎｃｅ　ｙｏｕ　ｃａｎ　ｆｌｙ

主はこういわれます。いまは前方に動く曲がり角の時で、多くの人が躊躇しているようである。多くの人々は２つの意見のわなにかかっている。わたしは新しい機会を光で照らし、開き、また、見せる。しかし、わたしは信仰とミニストリーと繁栄のためにおく。。。それはあなたに呼びかけている。そのよびかけは何週間にわたり広がりのこっている。しかしわたしのつなぎあわせを感じ、応えよ。

そのあなたのまわりでおきている締め付けようとする出来事はあなたが前に行こうとする前進する見るものからやめさせようとしている。　あなたのために部屋を設け、あなたを新しいたかさのところにひきあげる。あなたのつばさを広げよ。ふたたびのばせ。左右へのびよ。空に舞うときがきたからだ。

あなたの賜物で部屋をつくれ。あたらしいところへひろがりなさい。わたしはあなたにとても目をかけている理由はあなたがこのときに自分のおかれているポジションを見つけたということにではなく、あなたの賜物が生かされのばされていることに、です。ヨセフが牢屋で賜物をはぐくんだようにその賜物が彼の立場への道を用意したのです。

いまおきている状況をわたしは解決する。わたしはわたしがあなたに与えたベストな目的のある人生をたいこうしてあなたのところで霧のように働き続ける敵に対して楽器をもって解決させるようにわたしは来て、それをする。

あなたのﾋﾞｼﾞｮﾝが進行するのに厚いさえぎりがあることに対してわたしは降りてきてそれをたちきる

わたしはあなたに新しい踊りを創り上げる。　その動作の中にあなたはわたしがあなたを創るようにいっておいた動作に反抗している。私の動作に反抗するのをやめよ。あなたは自分の理解で学ぼうとしている。そのところの色彩はあなたが足を全く踏み込んだことのないとても輝かしく、鮮やかなところで、そこにあなたを連れて行く。その部屋でまたステージで対抗するのをやめよ。私はあなたに中に入り、上にあがるダンスを求める。

これはこのときの新しい型である。新しいダンスとステージ。　あなたがいままでしていた礼拝賛美の表現、古いステージをやぶりすて、わたしにたいこうするのをやめよ。　わたしはあなたを鮮やかにつくりあげる。都市の門よ！　知れ！　わたしの民は踊りとムーブによりはじめる。

このダンスはわたしがあなたにめしたものでありそれはあなたの理解により頼むものではない。あなたはこういってわたしに対抗する「私はどう踊ればいいか分からない」もしあなたがあなたの足もとをみるのをやめ、わたしのほうをみるなら、あなたは自分のからだのムーブメントがどうであるかなどを考えなくなり、わたしの目でみたことによってあなたを全きに捕らえる。もしあなたがわたしにあなたをつつませてくれるならあなたをわたしのそばにひきよせる。あなたは何も心配することはない。どんな踊りをするべきかとただしいか、まちがっているか、と。　それからあなたはわたしが創ったものを感じるだろう。

わたしは地上のものから引き上げ、私たちは御国の踊りをするだろう。あなたの霊はわたしの霊と共に踊り、理解はその後来るだろう。わたしの振りを理解しようとしてはいけない。　わたしに包まれなさい。　わたしと共にながされなさい。わたしの熟視にとらえられ、したこともないダンスをするでしょう。

いまダンスしなさい。あなたはこの次のシーズンに流れ込まれるでしょう。わたしは過去あなたが形作ったものとはちがうものを形作る。わたしがあなたにもっているその流れ込みは結果的に簡単に恵みの内にあなたを狭きところへとうごかしていくでしょう。

わたしと共にきなさい。あなたがいた過去の場所を離れなさい。そうすれば、わたしのもっている場所に簡単に入れるでしょう。そこにはあなたのテリトリーのダンスに順ずる戦争が襲い掛かってくるでしょう。そこには精神にかたどった要塞があるでしょう。彼らのテリトリーのダンスで雰囲気と土地をかえるでしょう。

わたしの自発性であなたを立たせなさい。わたしは新しいステージをかたどる。わたしの名により踊りなさい。そしてわたしは宣言する。あなたのテリトリーで自由にダンスするとき感情はいやされ、トラウマから解放され、たましい、土地がいやされ、新しい波は天のの御国から解放される。

おどり、わたしの振り付けをしなさい。　地獄の根っこをその門でおとしなさい。それから門を通ってダンスし、道に入り、おおくのものがわたしの過程に参加するだろう。都の門よ　みよ！　わたしは動作とダンスで始まっている。

―あなたの骨をおこさせよ。―

それから、わたしは聞き始めた。　地震だ!　地震だ！　土地はふるえている。　通常のものでない！　アジアにだ！　あなたは震える。アジアの国々が風向きで震えているのをみよう。　この週みるだろう。　アジアのために祈れ。サイクロンと地震がどちらも来る。

私たちはＩｙａｒ　の月に入り、それはイッサカルの油そそぎがリンクしているように。この月のことを主の完全なタイミングにある神聖なときであることを覚えておくことだ。これはあなたをあたえられている贖いを結びつける月である。この月はＶＡＶとよばれ新しい始まりの年のつきと呼ばれます。　あなたがちゃんとこの月にうごけばあとの年も適切に結び付けられる。

これははなたれる月で光が増し加わる。あなたの周りで栄光が増し加わるのをみよ。これは自然にいやしのある月で、また新しい方法であたらしいつよい現象がみつかるとき。そしてまたわたしはかみでありあなたをいやすもの（ＥＸ15：26）が現象を始める。魂を取り扱う月であなたのパーソナリティはこのシーズンに主はあなたを最終地へと誘導しアイデンティティを本当に反射してくれるでしょう。あなたの意識を正しいか、間違えかという気の配りから離れさせ、新しい方法が生きるようにしていきなさい。

－勇気付け：　自分をひくくみることからの勝利―

わたしがこのごろ思慮するところはこの頃新しく何かをはじめることは主が人々のためにはぐくんでくれたアイデンティティに包まれることが難しいじだいであるということです。私は主に聞きました。なぜ人々はあなたのみるそのままで自分をみれないのでしょう。　主はつよくいった。かれらはじぶんをひくくみている。だから自分自身をこの世のみる青写真からしかみれないのだ。

私はいった。　主よ、よくかれらはトラブルを私にしますが、、でも、彼らはあなたを愛する良い人々です。　主はすぐさまこたえた。　しかし、おおくのものは、高い大志を促進させ、かれらの肉で完全なゴールを決め自分の上に依存し、それで彼らはわたしの霊のおこす業からトランスフォームされるはぐくみをうしなってしまっているのだ　　殆どはじぶんの否定的働きを行使していて失敗や見た目のことに気にかけている。もしかれらがただわたしの霊で助けられライフスタイルを前進させるようにはぐくむならかれらは私の中で成熟しわたしがのばしてあげたかれらのアイデンティティをもって喜ぶだろう。

私はいった　主よ　どうやって矯正できるでしょう。　しゅはいった。　もしあなたが喜びでみたされるとして、それがどんな風になるかをリストにしてみなさい。それからあなたがそうなれるようにわたしに助けを求めなさい。わたしを知ることができるようにしなさい。わたしの武人がじぶんのものになるようにしなさい。そしてわたしのみるあなたがあなたのつよさになるだろう。

―乾いた骨に向かっての預言―

このごろオハイオのＭｉｄｄｉｅｔｏｎで、わたしたちの賛美チームは乾いた骨が音と共に集まるというあたらしい曲をかいています。彼らが日曜にその詩をうたっていたとき主はキース・ピース他をとおしてはなしはじめました。それはここの何人もの預言者をとおして。この預言のときがおわり、歌い手が詩でよげんした。

あなたのドアをたたく。おきあがれ、べっどにはいっても揺れ上がり眠りをさましてあなたをたちあがらせよ。フロアーをわたりなさい。　ありあまるほどのものはあなたのうえにある。みつけだしそして聖なる新郎であるわたしにあいなさい。わたしはどのようにわたしが創造しているのかを理解することのためにあなたをめした。わたしはこの地上にあるふかいものをそなえ、そうぞうした。奇蹟と秘密を

この日わたしは地のうめきをよんだ。わたしの地はうめきにまたうめき、あなたとつながることを泣き叫んでいる。つながりなさい。むすばれなさい。点はひらかれているがわたしはあなたが天と地をつなげることを必要としている。

古代の宝をみよ。その鍵を開けよ。丘が降参し地の宝が解放されるのを見よ。　地の栄光のために泣け。　非常に深いところが打ち壊されたとき、天の窓は開く。しかし、わたしは天と地を結ぶあなたが必要だ。地がわたしの栄光のために泣いている声を聞きなさい。栄光のことで地が泣いていることを聞きなさい。　古代の宝を見なさい。　

 

 

その深みにはまった部分が壊されるとき、天の窓は開かれる。　わたしはあなたに地が震え、天が開かれるのを..decree,,ﾜｶﾗﾝ,?　わたしは昔からいいまし者であり、わたしがこの地を揺り動かしたのである。それは倒されていた古代の道の蓋が開き、わたしの民がこの時に旅ができるようにする必要があったためである。もし彼らがその古代の道を旅するなら、彼らは埋もれていた古代の 宝の蓋を開けるだろう。　今日、その古き日は地で震え、それにより風が吹き、この地の古代の宝と古代の道を開いていくだろう。

あなたが行く全てのところで、、、、そこは乾いた骨のようなところ、そこはくにぐに、都市、家族のユニット構成の中にわたしの霊が死んでしまっているようなところ、、、わたしはそれらの場所に生きることを戻す。ミュージアムより意味のない教会になっているところ、死んだような働き人よりももっと意味のないところ、わたしはいう。　このときは、奇蹟のとき、わたしはうしなわれているものをわたしのところにもどすことをはじめる。わたしは死んでいる宗教を外にだして壊し、霊のいのちを入れる。

わたしはこのとき、あなたのうえに新鮮なあたらしいリバイバルの油注ぎを解き放つ。わたしはカゴのその門をひらく。そこからでて高く舞い上がれ！　そこには空に自由がある。一歩でて舞い上がり、自由をつかめ

その音を聞け。この結び合わせの陣のおとで、動く用意がおこっている。この天の陣の音は地の陣に結びついている。このおとずれの響きを聞け。わたしはいまあなたにおとずれ始める。預言的啓示といやしの力をもって。わたしはあなたのうちに大胆な音を創造した。わたしの民は静か過ぎてぐずぐず活気がなさすぎていた。

今わたしは私の民の間にたちあがろう。　あなたは自分自身の中で新しい人と、新しい動きのディメンションとを運んでくるのを見よう。　わたしはあなたにその方法で開く。　あなたは新しい方法で証する。　ここに今あなたに来るものはまさに大胆な証。　地の人々は天の証を聞くだろう、そしてあなたがその証となるだろう。

 

あなたがたの何人かはリバイバルに反抗している。なぜなら、あなたがたは準備だてられていないとかまだまだとても小さく場所がないと思っているからだ。　また、ちゃんとつながっていず、置かれ方もちゃんとまだ置かれていない、と思っているからだ。　　わたしはもう一度あなたに思い起こさせる：　わたしはベツレヘムにあの二人をおくったが、そこは部屋もなく、場所もなく、コネクションもなく、でもその中で持ち運んだものは地の人々の贖いであった。　何を私がしているのかわたしはたくさん見ている。　あなたの中でわたしに起こさせてくれ。　わたしも他もあなたを見つけ出すから。

 

わたしは光と雷を送る。わたしはわたしのしたい時に新しい動くをおく。　ことばはパフォームのために創造されていたものとしてパフォームするだろう。　わたしは霊のあってわたしの今日のベツレヘムに言う。　わたしは来る、そしてこの日に奇妙な働きをする。　そしてわたしの持っている、この世代の受ける者がかいほうされる。

 

そしてわたしは聞く、地震だ！　地がゆすぶられる。通常の地震ではない！　アジアに！　あなたは震える！　あなたはアジアの国が震えるその風がシフトするのをみるだろう。　あなたは今週国が震えるのを見る。　アジアのために祈りなさい。　　

 

Key Prophetic Word: "Dance My New Dance! You Can Fly!"

The LORD would say, "At this key, intersecting time of moving forward, many seem to be hesitating. Many are also snared between two opinions. I am opening and showing you light for new opportunity, but I see some resisting the steps into that place of faith and ministry and prosperity--that is calling out to you. The call will remain extended for several weeks ahead. However, feel My stirring and respond.

"The constrictions around you have stopped you from seeing your runway of advancement. I have come to make room for you to ascend to a new height. Extend your wings. Then extend them again. Stretch them to the left and the right. It is time for you to take flight!

"Let your gift make room for you. Expand into the new. I am more interested in you exercising your gift than in you finding your position at this time. Just as Joseph exercised his gift in prison, the gift made way for his positioning.

"I am sorting out those situations that are presently confining you. I am coming in with a sorting instrument to begin to sort that which has kept evil in your midst working against My best purpose for your life. I will sort out the confusion that is around you. I am sending help now. What you need will be sorted out and your path will be rearranged.

"I AM coming down and cutting through the atmosphere that has been too thick for your vision to progress. I will take you through and over. You will feel water in your desert sand and moisture in your dry atmosphere. I will bring you in to My tent of refreshing and I will settle you in a new way.

"I am choreographing a new dance for you. In the midst of this choreography, you are resisting the moves that I am telling you to make. Quit resisting My move, for you are leaning on your own understanding. The colors of the place that I take you will be much brighter and vibrant than anything you've ever stepped into. Quit resisting the room and the platform that I am asking you to dance in and upon.

"This is a time for new choreographies, new dances and new platforms. Quit resisting Me tearing down the old platforms that you are used to expressing your worship on. I will make you vibrant.

City Gates, Beware! My People are Beginning to Move and Dance!

"There is a dance I AM calling you to that is not dependent on your own understanding. You are resisting ME when you say, 'I don't understand how to do this dance.' If you will get your eyes off your feet and look into My eyes, I will so captivate you by what you see in My eyes that you won't be concerned about the movement of your body. If you will let Me embrace you and bring you so close to Me that you don't have to worry about whether you're making the right move or the wrong move, then you will sense the moves that I AM making.

"I will take you from this earthly realm and we will dance in the Heavens. Your spirit will dance with My Spirit and your understanding will come later. Quit trying to understand My move. Embrace Me. Get in the flow with Me. 

Let me captivate you with My gaze and we will do a dance like you've never seen.

"DANCE NOW and you will become more fluid for this next season. I am not structuring you the same way that you have been structured in the past. The fluidity that I have for you will cause you to ease in and move with grace through narrow places.

"Come with Me. Leave the last place you've been and you will ease through and into that place that I have now. There is a war over who will order the dance of your territory. There is a mental structure and stronghold over who will dance in their territories and change the land and atmosphere.

"Let My spontaneity arise in you. I am forming that new platform. Dance in My name, and I declare emotions will be healed and traumas will be released as the dance liberates your territory. A new wave of healing hearts, souls and lands is being released from the Heavenly Throne.

"Dance and represent MY movement. See the roots of hell let go of the gates. Then dance through the gates and into the streets, and many will join My procession.

"City gates, beware! My people are beginning to move and dance!"

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce

 

 

CHUCK PIERCE: "An Exhortation, Encouragement and Prophecy that Will AWAKEN YOUR BONES!"

"I then began to hear, Earthquakes! Earthquakes! Earthquakes! The ground is shaking. Unusual earthquakes! Asia! Asia, you will now shake! You will see shifting winds that are shaking the nations of Asia. You will see nations shaking this week! Pray for Asia! Since then, they have experienced both cyclones and earthquakes!"

 

We have entered the month of Iyar which is linked to the Issachar Anointing. This is a month to better understand the secrets of the Lord and get in His perfect timing. This is your connecting month that connects redemptions with giving. This is called the VAV month of the Year of NEW BEGINNINGS! If you move right in this month, the rest of the year connects properly.

This is the month of radiance, when light increases; watch Glory increasing around you. This is the month of Natural Healing and a time to find new ways for new strength to manifest. It is also when "I AM God Your Healer" (Exodus 15:26) begins to manifest. This is a month to deal with the soul, so your personality will really reflect the identity the Lord has destined for you during this season. Let your conscience come alive in a new way to discern right and wrong.

Encouragement: Overcome Low Self Esteem

I have been very concerned that many in these days of new beginnings are having a difficult time in embracing the identity that the Lord is developing in them. I have asked the Lord the question, "Why can't Your people see what You see in them?" He emphatically has said to me, "They have developed low esteem and therefore view themselves from the world's blueprint."

I said, "Lord, but these are good people who love You that are troubling me." He then promptly answered, "But so many have developed such high aspirations for themselves, are so determined to perfect every goal they have in their flesh, and have come to so rely upon themselves, that they have lost the developing, transforming work and ability of My Spirit. For the most part, they consider themselves failures and fill their atmospheres with negative working forces. If only they would focus on allowing My Spirit to help them develop an improved lifestyle, they would find themselves maturing in Me and enjoying the identity that I have developed for them."

I said, "Lord, what is the remedy?" He said, "Make yourself a list of what you would look like if you were filled with joy. Then ask Me to help you become or be that which I know you are! You will find you are seeing yourself as new as opposed to the same creature that you continually have measured yourself against in the past. Get to know Me! Align your vision with My vision, and My esteem of you will become your strength."

Prophesy to the Dry Bones!

Recently in Middleton, Ohio (April 24-27, 2008), our worship team wrote a new song about the sound of the Dry Bones coming together! When they were singing this song on Sunday, the Lord began to speak through Keith Pierce, Rebekah Faubion, Janice Swinney, Barbara Wentroble and myself--several of the prophets in the House. All through this prophecy, the singers were prophesying in song.

"I AM knocking upon your door. Get up! Get up! Get up! And even though you have gone to bed, stir yourself to awaken and arise. Cross the floor! Cross the floor! Cross the floor! The day of plenty is upon you. Reach out and meet Me, your Bridegroom, in this day of holy power. I AM calling you to a deeper understanding of what I have created. I have created and placed something deep within the earth--miracles and secrets.

"This is a day when I am calling the groaning of the earth. My earth is groaning and groaning again, and crying out for you to connect. Connect! Connect! The Heavens are open, but I need you to connect the Heavens to the earth. Listen to the earth cry for My glory. Listen to the earth cry glory, glory, glory! See the ancient treasures. See them unlocked. See the hills give up and release the treasures of the land. Cry glory, glory, glory, glory on this earth!

"When the great deep was broken up, the windows of Heaven opened up. I would have you decree the earth is shaking and the Heavens are opening! I AM the Ancient of Days and I AM causing this shaking in the earth to uncover the ancient paths that were laid which My people need to travel this hour. If they will travel the ancient paths, they will uncover the ancient treasures that have been buried. Today, the Ancient of Days will shake the earth and cause the wind to blow to uncover those ancient paths and the ancient treasures of this earth.

"All the places where you go--where it has been like dry bones, where it has been like death to My Spirit in nations, cities, and family units--I AM going to cause life to come back into these places. Where churches have been nothing more than museums, nothing more than dead works, I say this is a time when MY Spirit is coming to loose light. There will be such a release of the miraculous. Watch and see the miracles that I begin to loose that will cause a people to return to Me. I will break many out of dead religion and into the Life of the Spirit.

"I AM loosing a fresh new revival anointing on you in this hour. I have opened the gate to the cage. Step out and soar. There is freedom in the air. Step out and soar and catch the freedom.

"Hear the sound. This is the sound of an army aligning and getting ready to move. This is the sound of the army of Heaven connecting with the army of earth. Hear the sound of visitation. I WILL begin to visit you NOW with healing power and prophetic revelation. I AM creating a sound of boldness in you. My people have been too silent and too slack.

"NOW I AM rising within My people. You will find yourself carrying a new mantle and moving in a new dimension. I WILL open up ways for you. You will witness in new ways. There is a boldness for witnessing right now coming upon you, for the earth and its peoples must hear the witness of the Heavens and YOU will be this witness.

"Some of you have resisted revival because you feel like you are not equipped or are in too small a place, or disconnected and not positioned correctly. I must remind you that I sent a couple to Bethlehem with no room, no place and no connections, and brought forth the redemption of the people of the earth. I had many find what I was doing. Let Me work in you, and others will find you.

"I send lightning and I send thunder. I send My new move when I want. The Word will perform what it has been created to perform. I AM speaking into the spirit of those that are MY Bethlehems today. I WILL come in and do a strange work in this day and release all that I have that this generation will receive.

I then exhorted us to speak to our land, our homes, our businesses and spheres of authority. Cry glory to the street you live on or to your residence. Shout that the ground is beginning to rise up. Say that the land is shifting!

I then began to hear, "Earthquakes! Earthquakes! Earthquakes! The ground is shaking. Unusual earthquakes! Asia! Asia, you will now shake! You will see shifting winds that are shaking the nations of Asia. You will see nations shaking this week! Pray for Asia!" Since then, they have experienced both cyclones and earthquakes.

Subject: Hello from YWAM Norway!

Hello! My name is Melissa, and I'm working with a DTS at a YWAM base in Norway.  We just had intercession for Asia, specifically for Japan.  And we just wanted to send you some words of encouragement.   こんにちは。私の名前はめりっさです。ノルウェーのYWAMのDTSで働いています。わたしたちはちょうどアジアのため、特に日本のためにとりなしの祈りをしたところです。皆さんに励ましの言葉を送りたいと思います。 When we prayed, here's what we believe God showed us about your nation... 私たちが祈ったとき、神が皆さんの国についてこのように語っておられると確信しました。 Someone got a picture of Japan and China holding hands.  We believe that God will restore fellowship between the two nations, and God will send missionaries from China to Japan, and missionaries from Japan to China! ある人が日本と中国が手をつないでいる姿を見ました。神はこの二つの国の関係を回復してくださると信じます。そして神は中国から日本へ、日本から中国へ宣教師を送られるでしょう。   God hates the lie that says "You are all the same, you are not special" because He says the opposite!  He has created all uniquely, and loves His creation!!! 神はこういううそを嫌われます。「皆さん方全部同じ、特別な存在ではない。」　主は反対のことを言っておられるのですから。主はすべてをユニーク（無比なもの）に造られました。そして主はご自分の造られたものを愛されています。 There is a desperation in people that only GOD can meet! 人々は絶望しています。神様だけにしか救いはありません。 We prayed for a revival in Japan... We got a picture of the people of Japan walking around looking down at the ground, with a dark cloud over their heads... but then Christ's Light shines down on t hem, and they LOOK UP.  "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." -- Ephesians 5:14 日本のリバイバルのために祈っていたとき、このような絵が見えました。日本の人が地面を見ながら歩き回っているのです。頭の上には黒い雲がおおっています。けれどもキリストの光が彼らの上に輝き、彼らは上を見上げます。 「眠っている人よ。目をさませ。死者の中から起き上がれ。そうすれば、キリストが、あなたを照らされる。」（エペソ５：１４） God is the One who will do this, because it is only HIS Light that can shine through!  And He will do this!   これをしてくださるのは神です。輝きとおす光は主にしかありません。確かに主がこれをなさいます。

We got a picture of a choir singing, and at first the choir was singing softly and quietly.  But then they started to sing louder and louder... and they sang so loud that the people HAD to hear! 

聖歌隊が謳っている絵も見えました。最初はやさしく静かに歌っていましたが、だんだん大きくなっていきました。そして人に耳に入らざるをえないくらい大きな声で歌っていました。

Another picture, of hot gold in peopls' mouths.  The gold became so hot in their mouths that they HAD to speak it out, to speak about Jesus Christ.
もうひとつの絵は、人々の口の中にある熱した金でした。口の中の金があまりにも熱くなってきたので、人々はそれを外に出さなければならなくなりました。イエス様について話し始めたのです。

May God truly bless you and your nation, and all of your work for the Kingdom of God!  May He encourage you and give you strength in Him.
神が皆さんと皆さんの国を、そしてみなさんのみくにのための働きを本当に祝福してくださいますように。主が皆さんを励まし主にある力を与えてくださいますように。

From,
Your brothers and sisters in Christ in YWAM Skien, Norway

LINKS: mini-documentary on life in japan

This link includes an amazing video documenting the state of the church and change of vision Abba's putting into the hearts of His people in this hour.

Paul & Nancy Nethercott and Yu Shibuya are some individuals that I've interacted with in varying degrees in recent history. It was a pleasant surprise to see all three of them appear in this video.

I've been in Japan since 1999 and involved with active ministry since about 2004. At this point, I have a pretty fair feeling for the culture and environment of the nation. I think this video is a very, very accurate picture of how things are in this day both inside and outside of the church.

The church is starting to recognize more and more, in order to reach the nation, things have got to change in our approach to "doing" ministry.

This is where the houses of prayer, in their many forms, are a keystone. Churches all over are starting to incorporate "prayer rooms" and reports of houses of prayer getting started are coming from all directions in these last 6 months.

The house of prayer movement starting to sweep over Japan in this hour is one of those vital changes that needs to take place.

If we, as believers, desire to see any manner of lasting change sweep the eastern nations we must firmly fix prayer and time spent with Jesus as an utmost priority establishing it even as the foundation of our walk with Him.

It will be from and within this dwelling place that we- the body of Christ- will emerge with the plans and strategies necessary for disipling and transforming the nations and subsequently the region.

My hope is that through watching this video (it's about 25 minutes) you will have a better idea of how to pray not only for the Japanese people themselves but also, how the church needs to be built up in this season.

If you have any questions after watching this video and would like more information on ministry in Japan, direction on how to pray or anything else, please don't hesitate to contact us.
