This is the Fifth teaching regarding Imprecatory Prayer

Number Five

The number 5 is an interesting number and has several spiritual meanings in the Bible. Most of us have been taught the number 5 symbolizes grace. One Bible Study says: The number 5 symbolizes Yahweh’s grace, His goodness and favor towards humans and Five is the number, when multiplied by itself, 5 upon 5 is 25, is “grace upon grace.” (John 1:16: And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace KJV)

The Ten Commandments contains two sets of 5 commandments, with the first five related to our treatment and relationship with God and the last five concern our relationship with other humans. Interesting don’t you think?

I have a personal testimony about the number 5 and it’s meaning. One night I was sleeping and awoke to someone audibly calling out my name, “Bonnie.” I opened my eyes and looked around. My mother’s two cats were sacked and there was no one in the room but us. Then, in my mind’s ear, I heard the word grace and the number 5.

I was puzzled, because my understanding of the number 5 and the word grace meant the same. Was there a hidden message for me here? I finally wrote down on a posted note, my name, the word grace and the number 5 and as we say, put it on the shelf. I am not sure of what year it was, but I wrote Saturday, the 24th.

A couple months later Risa Utley and I went to a Mike Bickle IHOP (Kansas City International House of Prayer) conference in Kansas City. We were there three days and on the last day, I went into the bookstore area and purchased an Ira Milligan Book on the meaning of dreams. We drove back to Tennessee and decided to check in with Deb Inghram, who was the President of Firestorm Ministries at that time and share events from the conference.

Risa was talking to Deb and I just happened to pick up the book I bought and the numbers section came up. The number 5 in this book said: FIVE – Serve: Works, service….. yada yada, but I did not need to go any further. I had my answer for my prophetic word from Saturday, the 24th; Yahweh called my Name and gave me Grace to Serve. I was undone.

Maybe this Imprecatory Prayer Part 5 segment is a call to you to pray and intercede (serve) on a new level? I am confident praying in this manner through imprecations is more powerful than what I have been doing in the past and hope it brings a witness to your spirit too. The world needs our prayers.

As I study, I continue to learn imprecation prayers are not new and there are a lot of people who have and are writing about it. It is like everywhere I look there are teachings and lots of information to chew on and share. So, here we go.

A couple of days ago, I just happened to catch a short teaching where Michael Heiser was sharing where the first imprecatory theme came from. Are you ready? He said Yahweh made a covenant with Abraham and said? I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you. Genesis 12:3

When David prayed the imprecatory prayers in the “War Psalms,” he was reminding Yahweh of his promise in Genesis to bless those who blessed him and curse those who were cursing him, and know this, THAT promise belonged to David and it belongs to us too.

Some people are extremely against praying the imprecatory prayers as they think they are for personal vengeance, un-Christian and have no place in our prayer rooms, but is that really true?

I’m going to Nehemiah, Chapter 4, where Nehemiah is repairing the Wall and Sanballat and his crew are coming against him. Here is what is written.

1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. 2 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? 3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

Sure sounds like they are cursing the work of Nehemiah and his workers. What did Nehemiah do? He prayed, but he did NOT take justice into his own hands, he went before Yahweh with imprecations against Sanballat and his group.

4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity: 5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. 6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

When Sanballat and his group saw the walls of Jerusalem were up, they plotted to fight against the Jews. They tried several times to set up a private meeting with Nehemiah, probably to cause him great harm, but he said he was busy and would not go.

7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, 8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.

So, who was Sanballat? He was the governor of Samaria, an enemy of the Jews (Yahweh). He had powerful and wealthy support under his control and watch this, his deeds are examples of our warfare being: “against the rulers, against the powers,… against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Consider this in examining Nehemiah’s prayer.

1) In opposing the Jews, Sanballat and company were actually opposing God.

2) God had already pronounced judgment on Israel’s enemies. Nehemiah was praying according to God’s will – that God would deliver Jerusalem from her enemies in Joshua. 1-5:

“There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”)

3) Nehemiah was praying that God would bring about what He had promised Abraham regarding those who curse His people (Gen. 12:3).

4) Vengeance belongs to God, not to Nehemiah or other believers (cf. Deut. 32:35; Rom. 12:19).

In the Psalms the psalmists did not hesitate to avow their loyalty to Yahweh and His covenant, because they were on Yahweh’s side. In their zeal to champion righteousness, their words frequently contain imprecations or curses. They prayed that God would break the arms of the wicked (Ps. 10:15) smash their teeth (58:6) and turn His wrath on them (69:22-28).

The psalmists were filled with zeal for God’s theocracy (His Reign and Authority). These expressions released in the prayers were not indications of personal vendetta. A Theocracy is a Government ruled by or subject to religious authority, a form of government, in which God is recognized as the supreme civil ruler of the state, and His laws are taken as the statute-book of the kingdom.

To pray the imprecatory psalms is ultimately to pray as Jesus taught us to pray. As Christians, we long for God’s kingdom to come. We yearn for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, as written in the Lord’s Prayer. Praying the imprecatory psalms is not a call to arms, but a call to faith. We lift our voices, not our swords, as we pray for God either to convert or curse the enemies of Christ and His kingdom.

Imprecatory Psalms in the Old Testament

Psalms. 5:10; 6:10; 7:6; 9:19-20; 10:2,15; 17:13; 28:4; 31:17-18; 35:1,4-8,19,24-26; 40:14-15; 41:10; 54:5; 55:9-15; 56:7; 58:6-10; 59:5,11-14; 63:9-10; 68:1-2; 69:22-28; 70:2-3; 71:13; 79:6,10-12; 83:9-18 (cf. Judges 4:15-21; 5:25-27); 94:1-4; 97:7; 104:35; 109:6-19,29; 119:84; 129:5-7; 137:7-9; 139:19-22; 140:8-11; 141:10; 143:12

Before you jump the gun saying imprecatory prayers are under the law in the Old Testament, no longer valid, are immoral, cruel and inappropriate for a New Testament Christian, think on this.

Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are the inspired Words of Yahweh. Though the New Testament is known as Grace, if we study, we will find there is Grace in the Old Testament too. For example in Genesis 6:8: But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord.

The New Testament reveals and confirms the Old Testament, plus there is grace in the OT and there is grace in the NT, likewise there is law in the OT and there is law in the NT.

The book of Hebrews in the New Testament is full of comparisons to the old life under “the law” and the new life we live by Yahweh’s forgiving grace. Check out these verses from just one chapter in Hebrews (10: 11-12, 16-18):

“Under the old covenant, the priest stands before the altar day after day, offering sacrifices that can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as one sacrifice for sins, good for all time. ‘This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts so they will understand them, and I will write them on their minds so they will obey them.’ Then he adds, ‘ I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.’” NLT

As God’s new creation we actually want to obey His law – not because it gets us anything, but because of our love for Him. Psalms 40:8 reveals: “I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8)

It is dangerous to set ourselves up as judges, pitting Scripture against Scripture between the Old and New Testaments, because God’s moral law is immutable and everywhere the same. It is foolish to invalidate prayers assuming they are defective and only reveal a man’s sinful desire for vengeance on his personal enemies, when they are instead, prayers being sent up to the very Courtroom of Heaven crying out for JUSTICE to Yahweh where He sits as the Judge, reminding Him of the promise He made to Abraham many, many years before, to bless those who bless us and curse those who curse us. They remind Yahweh, state their case and leave the verdict and the sentence in the Hands of Yahweh, for it is written “Vengeance is MINE”, saith the FATHER. Romans 12:9

Furthermore, what do we do with the “imprecatory prayers” released on the enemies of God found in the New Testament? How about this one:

Galatians 1:8: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” This is Paul speaking.

Luke 10:10-16: But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this,, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. but it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despisesth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

And there are more: I Corinthians 16:21-22; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10; 2 Timothy 4:14; Revelation 6:10; 19:1-2.

I will not leave out the prayer Jesus told the disciples (and us) to pray, “The Lord’s Prayer”, “Thy kingdom come” in Matthew 6:10. This prayer is for the Church, you and I, to pray to invoke (call forth) divine judgment on all other kingdoms and all those who oppose the “reign” of Yahweh. Selah (Think about it)

Jesus, The Christ, used imprecatory language in Matthew 23. Hang on – here come the Woe’s. Do you know the meaning of the word “woe?” In the Greek:

Whenever we see the word “woe” in the New Testament, it is always a translation of the Greek word “ouai”. This Greek word “ouai” is used 47 times in the New Testament: 41 times in 33 verses it is translated as “woe”, and six times in three verses it is translated as “alas”.

Those are the only times “woe” and “alas” appear in the New Testament. So let’s look at the meaning of this Greek word, and then see why the translators translated it as “alas” in six places.

The Greek word “ouai” is used in the following three ways:

1) It is used to express a denunciation; i.e. to pronounce someone or something as blameworthy and evil.
2) It is used to express a severe calamity, a severe distress or affliction.
3) It is used to express great grief

Jesus is speaking evil curses of calamity, grief over the scribes and the Pharisees and hypocrites in Matthew 23.

13 “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.”
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

When Yahshua/Jesus returns, Vengeance will be His as He sits upon the Great White Throne Of Judgment and separates the sheep to the right and the goats to his left and brings Justice. He will speak imprecations over those who have been against Him in Matthew 25 verses 41-46. He will no longer be mocked.

41 Then He will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!

42 For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,

43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me [f]with help and ministering care.

44 Then they also [in their turn] will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?

45 And He will reply to them, Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least [[g]in the estimation of men] of these, you failed to do it for Me.

46 Then they will go away into eternal punishment, but those who are just and upright and in right standing with God into eternal life.

Selah!

Imprecatory Prayer Teachings Part 1-4

BONNIE NELSON – ARTICLES

From the Friday Night Prophetic Training Class

March 19, 2021

The following Word was received as being from our Father Yahweh

I Have Chosen You

Bonnie Nelson

For this is the time many dreamed of being a part of throughout all history. I have chosen you for such a time as this, because you have been equipped to be more than just a conqueror of that which is seeking to take over the world. Have no fear, for I have intricately put things into your fingertips, which shall come forth when the time is nigh, which will tear down strongholds and set many free.

Keep that which is evil away and touch not any thing which you do not know of its history. All that is encompassed on the earth is either for Me or against Me and you shall determine it by My Spirit in you. I shall quicken you when to go and when to stay and when to prophesy and release what I say. I shall give you information to teach you of My Ways and of what I AM doing so you may prepare My family for My coming.

Fear Not…I AM for you and I shall renew you daily as the times shall become hard and many shall fall away, but I know you, you will not betray Me or leave Me, for we have been together for a long time. The season is about to change and soon I will call your name. Listen closely and watch with the eyes of the eagle as the scenery will change and you will lead many to a safe place.

Prepare My Way and prophesy, for I shall come forth walking on the prayers of My Family to set things right and in order. It shall be the beginning of the end and yet, the end shall be the birthing of the beginning.

Prayer

For Or Against

Enemies

Hello Everyone:

I want to share some things with you personally and with the Churches of Jesus Christ, no matter the denomination, concerning our ability to lift up the power of our prayers to a higher level, for such a time as this.

The day after the Presidential Election we had Wednesday Night Church and I did not want to go, but I did. Ever been there? Pastor Ray was ready for us and began to give Scriptures regarding anxiety. Well, I had that for sure! He began with Philippians 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

He covered all the bases and added, I Timothy 2:1-2

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

I am not sure if anyone else was squirming or not, I pretty much just looked down as thoughts went through my head like a roller coaster. He continued on for about a half an hour and then finally stopped. It was quiet. I love Pastor Ray and I treasure the favor he gives to me to minister at Victory Christian, so trying to be wise in situations like this and yet honest, can be challenging.

I just could not sit there quietly and nod, acting like everything was OK, because in my spirit, it was not. So, I shared the truth in me and told him and the group, “I am just not there yet. Maybe it is just too soon for me to shake off what I am “feeling.” (I know feelings lie), but there is something bugging me on the inside about praying for this new administration, which is not normal for me, because I know we are to pray for those who are our leaders and that Yahweh puts them all into place. But I also remember when Yahweh ruled and the people cried out for a king. He gave them what they wanted (Saul), not what was the best for them. So, He listens to what is being said. Food for thought.

Ever heard the expressions, “I have a check in my spirit, or Something is out of kilter?” That’s where I was and then Pastor Ray brought up:

Matthew 5:44: But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

I know these scriptures too, but I also know, I am not sure how to pray right now. I guess you could say, “I have issues!” I need to hear a Word from My Father to teach me His Ways and bring me wisdom and understanding, because in my spirit, I am hearing Jeremiah 1:10:

See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”

And don’t forget to add: “All” prophets are also intercessors, called to be “Watchers” on the wall, standing in the gap for Nations. Ezekiel 22:30

And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

No where do I read “Christians” are to condone, compromise, or come into agreement with evil, or that as Christians, we are “Door Mats” for evil to tread upon and defile the Name and House of Yahweh and Yahshua/Jesus.

So, how and what do I prophetically pray, declare, proclaim and prophesy over what is happening? Do I pray for evil enemies? I have questions, so I went into the Scriptures and looking for teachers of the Word to help me understand how and what I should pray – so I can make a difference and line up with what Yahweh wants to do!

I found David, the “Warrior King” of the Bible

Psalm 1

The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

David describes two types of “people” here, the righteous planted like a tree and the ungodly as the chaff the wind blows away. In our Bible studies Sunday morning, we are reading through a book called, the Power of the Blood Covenant, Malcom Smith and it is teaching us about – being in covenant.

Covenant truth reveals two types of people in the “World,” those who are “covenant keepers” and those who are “covenant breakers.” Which are we? Keep that in mind.

Psalm 112
The Blessed State of the Righteous
Praise The Lord

1 Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness [b]endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His [c]horn will be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Notice the covenant keepers receive “positive sanctions.” These are blessings. The covenant breakers receive “negative sanctions.” These are curses. David brought forth this truth in Psalm 1 and it continues through many of the Psalms. David is known as a “man after God’s Heart.” He is the one who praises and worships Yahweh for all of His creations and yet, in Psalm 104 David, in the middle of the praise, evidently senses something else and in the last verse (35) suddenly he writes:

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Oh my goodness, did you get that? David just prayed for sinners to be removed and wicked to be gone and then praised God. How does this work? If I prayed that in Church, I am sure someone would “lovingly” (maybe) come point out and correct me saying, your prayer has no love or compassion for a poor lost soul who has been led astray and now your prayer will surely condemn an unsaved sinner to hell. This view may be a tradition passed down in the Church, but is it the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, about how we should pray?

Our Warring King David seemed to be using a different style of warfare prayer we don’t hear much about, which is tied into the Courts of Heaven and seeking Yahweh for His Kingdom Coming of Justice and Righteousness here on the earth. This warring prayer style is called, “Imprecatory Prayer” and it is found in the Old and New Testaments, not just in the Psalms.

And just for the record: There is no separation or contradiction in what is written in the Old Testament from the New; both are the Bible and both confirm each other, you just have to study and go a little deeper to find the continuity.

What is imprecatory prayer or imprecation?

An imprecation is an invocation of judgment, calamity, or a curse upon one’s enemies or the enemies of God and it should be known, such imprecatory curses are found all through the Bible. This is not kid stuff and these prayers need to be done with great care, wisdom and clean hands.

Imprecatory prayers form an integral part of the covenant renewal ceremony in Deuteronomy Chapters 27-30; Rev 6:10 and some of the most powerful are found in the Psalms. (Psalms 7, 35, 55, 58, 69, 109, 137 and 139).

An imprecation is a curse or a denunciation conveying a wish or threat of evil. Imprecatory praying is, to pray for evil or misfortune, upon someone or some activity. It is a malediction, anathema, and an execration.

The Apostle Paul (NT) used an imprecation when he said:

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. (I Corinthians 16:22)

The word “anathema” means to be set aside for certain and sure destruction, to be cursed, and to be doomed and damned. Maranatha refers to our Lord’s coming.

Literally, Paul prayed: If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed, doomed and damned at our Lord’s coming.

He also used the term “anathema” in Gal. 1:8-9: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Do you think Paul was unloving, uncharitable and unchristian when he prayed God would doom, damn, and destroy all of those who do not love the Lord Jesus Christ and those who pervert the gospel of grace and preach another gospel? My vote is NO! He is standing on the truth of the gospel in the Scriptures, not on an opinion to make everyone feel good.

Everyone wants to read and sing about the Goodness of God and that is well and good, but we should not forget, we have a covenant calling us into righteousness. To forget or dismiss the warnings regarding negative sanctions or curses revealed in Leviticus 6 and Deuteronomy 28 is dangerous and a disservice to the Body of Christ.

Did you know, when you pray the Lord’s Prayer, you are praying a imprecatory prayer?

Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, In Earth As It Is In Heaven.

When you pray for Yahshua/Jesus to come, you are praying for judgment to come to the World, those who are sinners and evil to be destroyed.

Too much to consider? Here is a comment/question Martin Luther shared for all of us to ponder.

“We should pray that our enemies be converted and become our friends, and if not, that their doing and designing be bound to fail and have no success and that their persons perish rather than the Gospel and the Kingdom of Christ.

Do you prefer the wicked or Christ prevail? Do you prefer the kingdom of Christ over the kingdom of evil? I had much rather the wicked perish than the gospel and the Kingdom of Christ.”

Imprecatory Prayer – Part Two Next

Hello Everyone:

Yesterday we all heard about the President and his wife testing positive to the Covid Virus. Immediately the news outlets and social media
exploded with comments on both sides of the isle regarding well wishes, not so well wishes and a renewed debate on the issue of wearing masks.

However, there is one issue being ignored, which I believe is the most important and compelling for every single American and more than that, every single person in the world today.

From the New York Times yesterday, ” President Trump has received a dose of an experimental antibody cocktail being developed by the drug maker Regeneron, in addition to several other drugs, including zinc, vitamin D and the generic version of the heartburn treatment Pepcid, according to a letter from his doctor that was released by the White House Friday afternoon.

Mr. Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, announced early Friday morning that they had tested positive for the coronavirus. The president has a low-grade fever, nasal congestion and a cough, according to two people close to Mr. Trump. In the letter, Mr. Trump’s doctor, Dr. Sean P. Conley, said “he completed the infusion without incident” and that he “remains fatigued but in good spirits.”

There are no approved treatments for Covid-19, but the Regeneron treatment is one of the most promising candidates, along with another antibody treatment developed by Eli Lilly. Both are being tested in patients around the country. Initial results have suggested that they can reduce the level of the virus in the body and possibly shorten hospital stays — when they are given early in the course of infection.

Although Regeneron’s product has not been authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration, companies can grant access to their experimental treatments through compassionate use, for example, if all other options have failed and a patient might die without trying the drug.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/02/health/trump-antibody-treatment.html

In the midst of all the news and social reports, does anyone else realize what President Trump just did? He stepped up to let doctors try experimental drugs on him. He asked permission from the FDA to use his own body as a test case. Think about that.

He could have just played it safe, quarantined and used the status quo of what is being used in the medical field today against Covid. Notice Melania stayed at the White House, I did not hear she was being given these experimental drugs.

Could it be he was moved to Walter Reed, because he has endangered his life of 74 years to use these new techniques, not only for himself, but for ALL of us? Has he just put his life on the line for us?

I don’t want to miss the importance and the incredible decision this man has made again, stand in the gap for America and make her, not only GREAT again, but HEALTHY again.

If this experimental cocktail brings the Vaccine, which will break the hold of Covid – OFF this Nation and the World, it will be because of, not only the doctors, scientists and prayer warriors all working behind the scenes, but also because the leader of the free world, President Donald J Trump, offered his life.

I believe the scripture, for this moment of time is:

Father I lift up this man Trump and his whole house and I thank You for Your Hand Upon Him, for surely You sent him to us, for such a time as this. Raise him up Father, he still has a lot to do for this Nation and the World, in the Name of Yahshua.

Hello Firestorm:

Tonight my spirit is grieving, as I hear people saying hateful and deadly things over President Trump and his wife. Regardless of your political views, calling for the willful death of a person, any person, is demonic and evil. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not, most people should know murder is not the right thing to do. You may think there is no harm done by calling death and destruction upon someone, but what if I told you, saying death and destruction into the atmosphere against other people, may boomerang and come back to haunt and hurt you?

Doctors today have proven the words we speak, activate chemical responses, from our brains. If we speak good things over our family and friends, our brains react and release good chemicals called feel good endorphins and guess what, we get to feel good too. Associating with positive people who are happy, encouraging, comforting and exhorting is important and extremely heathy for each one of us.

According to Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman, words can literally change your brain. Positive words, such as “peace” and “love,” can alter the expression of genes, strengthening areas in our frontal lobes and promoting the brain’s cognitive functioning.

However, Negative attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can create chronic stress, which upsets the body’s hormone balance, depletes the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system. Chronic stress can actually decrease our lifespan. Being around people who are negative, hateful, discouraging and continue to speak words of death and destruction creates a boomerang effect, where all these emotions manifest IN and UPON us.

I compare it to what happened to the Ghost Busters when they met up with the ghost (spirit), they got slimmed, dripping with some kind of
supernatural protoplasmic stuff. Negativity and evil thoughts can make you feel heavy, dirty, slimmed and your brain is releases chemicals adding to your depression. Now you are in trouble and need to learn how to get delivered from the spirits of heaviness and depression.

Like many things in life, negativity, can become a habit. Frequent criticism, cynical thoughts, and denial can create neural pathways in the brain that encourage sadness. These negative tendencies can cause our brain to distort the truth and make it even more difficult to break the negative cycle.

In other words when you get so full of hate and negative thoughts you can’t even understand what is right and wrong, good or evil and you will do things, releasing your anger and hate upon other people, who you don’t even know and some who may be trying to help you.

It is said it takes 5 positive comments to combat every negative one in your brain. Think about that. You may think you are getting even, or being cool, so you can fit in with those you are running with by spewing anger and hate, but in the long run, you are damaging yourself.

NOTE: In the spiritual realm, words are like containers. They carry power and they carry spirits. This is the same thing the doctors and scientists are saying. If I say to you, “I HATE you,” it doesn’t make you feel good does it? If you say to your child, “You will never amount to anything,” guess what, their brain registers with that and in the spiritual realm, demonic spirits will whisper those same words in their ears, over and over, year after year, until they actually believe them and begin to live in that attitude.

Are you getting this? I am pretty sure everyone of us has had someone say something cruel to us, which opened the door for spirits come into our heart. Sooner or later their voices will come forth to condemn and remind us of those same words over and over again in our head, until we loose it and run out into the night screaming STOP, STOP, somebody make them STOP!

At that point, we need the Spirit of Christ to come and help us get delivered and set us back on the right path to the good things our Father in Heaven created us to do. There are better things to do than burning down our cities and willingly killing people of all ages. There is no future for any of us, unless we come together and learn how to help each other. Let us all pray for our Nation and seek Yahweh, who created it, to be Merciful and help us through this storm.

Father Yahweh I thank You for Your Mercies. as they are new every morning and oh Father, we need new mercies every day. I know You see the chaos and anger spreading across our Nation, but I also know You see the many who are on their knees and crying out for You to help us. I thank You For Your Words, which are Powerful and Mighty to the pulling down of strongholds and principalities and rulers.

So, I speak forth the Blood of Jesus Christ and I say over this Nation, No weapon formed against us shall prosper. Yay, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil for You are with us and You said, You know the thoughts You have for us and they are for good and for our soul to prosper. Oh Father I speak these words over The United States and I thank You for calling us to speak life and not death.

Those words, which have been spoken by the deceived, those which have been released through witchcraft, spells, and incantations for death and destruction, I rebuke them and I say they shall not have any power and will fall to the ground harmless and the hidden agendas against Your People Father are hereby declared VOID tonight! I call forth life and life more abundantly, for that is what You have said You want for us. Let it be Father what You say and not what the enemy of our souls says.

Help us oh Mighty, Mighty, Yahweh for we are helpless to stand without You. You are our Protector, our Provider, our Deliverer and we are Your Children. Hallelujah! You Reign and Rule over the United States of America and we call out Your Name as LORD over ALL from the North, the South, The East and The West. Glory and Honor to You Yahweh in the Name of Yahshua…..

Hi Everyone:

Risa’s nephew, Derek, was at the September 24th a rally in North Carolina, where President Trump was speaking. He took two of following pictures, which swept my breath away. Risa lives here in Tennessee and has been on the Firestorm leadership team for many years, so I do not doubt the authenticity of these pictures. Everyone seems to be looking for a prophetic word, a sign, a blast or the Rapture. Well, here is what I believe is one of those supernatural signs, for those who have eyes to see.

We all know the camera captures things the natural eye cannot see. This is one of those times. And before you say this photo was photo shopped or it was light in the building, take a look at this picture. This is an outdoor rally and there are no big lighting stands hanging over our President, except for the light coming down from heaven, focused exclusively on him.

I love the flag whipping in the breeze and again, notice the sun shining through in the midst of the dark clouds. This picture is prophetic in nature. Our President standing in the midst of the dark clouds, bringing forth his message, with the light of the Sun (Son) backing him up. Hallelujah!

My Thoughts:

Look not to personalities in this election, look to the platform backing up the Word of Yahweh. Our Nation hinges, once again on the wisdom and tenacity of the Body of Christ – The Church. Rise and go forth and put your hand on the ballot button and PUSH to cast your vote.

Not voting is a vote for the opposing candidate, where you join in to endorse the celebration and legal right for abortion at any age, anytime even at birth, open borders, tax increases, free social security, no freedom of speech, the removal of the right to bear arms, free college, healthcare and more. What is Free to some, makes me wonder, who are those who Pay? I believe it means – you and me.

On top of all that stuff, there is something else possible and it lays heavy on my soul. I say this with great trembling, but the precipice we are standing on could well be the beginning of the silencing and removal of the Church of Jesus Christ. Are you ready for that? I’m not!

I pray you will listen carefully for the Voice of God in the midst of the roar from the world. For me, I declare and I prophesy, “No weapon formed against me or the United States of America and/or her people shall prosper. For I am here, on the wall, declaring the rebirth of the greatest promises Yahweh has ever given anyone, the gift this Nation, the freedoms in our Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the gift of salvation and eternal life through Jesus, The Christ, as written in the Bible.

What are you standing on, declaring and prophesying?

“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

Just so you know……..

Palm Sunday Reminds US, Christ Is King

Hello Firestorm:

As I look at Palm Sunday, I remember…..This was the first day I officially lead a worship service at Pastor Arthur Lewis’ church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I had visited his church for a one day visit with our members and Pastor Purser from Cornerstone Church, Smyrna, Tennessee. A few months later, I heard an audible voice in the back of my car driving back from Alabama and the message was, “Go see Pastor Lewis.”

Pastor Lewis is a very tall black man who resembles Morgan Freeman and he is famous in my book for a great big smile and giving the most hugs I have ever received, no disrespect to our Victory Christian member, Randall (smile).

I walked in and he looked at me and said, “What are you doing here?” I admit I was a bit out of place as his church congregation had only 2-3 other white members. I responded, I am not sure, but I know the LORD sent me, so what do you need?

He said, well my worship leader is on vacation for a couple weeks. Interesting don’t you think? You just gotta love Yahweh God when He sets you up and also brings in some much needed on the job training. I agreed to help.

I had been working on some worship songs and got excited about going to Walmart and buying up all the artificial ferns they had. I remember placing them on the floor where everyone had to come in and to my surprise everyone pretty much picked them all up and waved them during the service. They also took them home. (smile)

I ended up being with Pastor Lewis for a couple years until God move me and in my stead brought in another prophet, Grace to help him. On our last meeting we cried together. I have a lot of respect for Pastor Lewis and his family.

So for me Palm Sunday has a wonderful memory of friendship and a remembrance of how God spoke to me and directed me to another step on the ladder of preparation for what was coming next.

For those who do not know the heart of the reason for Palm Sunday, here is an article I pray will give you a solid foundation for our Palm Sunday Celebration.
