Greetings Faithful Saints!
The Lord is gathering His Saints together as an army. Girding ourselves for battle, we engage with expectation and obedience. May our spirits be as that of Caleb, ready and willing to take the mountain, prepared as vessels for His power and authority. Standing firm in, and guarding over every aspect of, who we are in Him, we commit to our calling and placement no matter the cost, yielding fully all that we are and all that we have to cover the earth in dominion with His vine. Great days and victories are ahead, for with God nothing shall be impossible. [Evangelist]
Feeling the weightiness of the Lord, of the commission and of His heart, our hearts are one with the Father in pursuit of His will; thus we press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, laying down all that He requires of us as we contend and insist upon the perfect will of God to be performed within us, declaring the completion and fulfillment of all that He desires for us in this season. [Pastor]
In times of uncertainty upon our nations, let us be a people of faith and trust who demonstrate the Kingdom of God. Our trust is in His faithfulness and provision, for it is the Lord who equips, renews and strengthens us, and by Him we are prepared unto every good work; let us be fruitful in it. [Prophet]
May our spiritual eyes be continually opened to see His divine revelation as He guides us in bringing light into the darkness; and may our light shine before men so they may see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. [Teacher]
In a new level of partnership with the Father, totally reliant and trusting Him for our course of direction, humbly and attentively we take hold of the opportunity given us to flow with Him into new points of the unknown proclaiming, “Here am I, Lord, send me.” Together in unity, let us define the ways of God. It is time for the harvest! [Apostle]

First Saturday Prayer Insights Report
September 2023
The Lord is gathering His Saints together as an army fit for battle. As with Jericho, we must engage this with expectation and obedience. So often, the believer waits until attacked before preparing for any battle. But, God says that we must gird ourselves for battle…now. Great days and victories are ahead. We must be ready and willing.
~ ~ ~
God is touching us in the very base of our existence, our identity as saints, to be holy as He is holy, to live a life of complete and selfless sacrifice, prepared as vessels for His power and authority on behalf of HIs ultimate will to restore creation. We are being creatively worked and pruned by the very essence of His Spirit of Prophecy in the most inward places of our being, all which requires a yielding fully of all we are and all we have in order to not only bring forth fruit, but to cover the earth in dominion with His vine.

The seminar will restore many people just like the blind man Jesus found and healed. The Lord made clay of His spittle and placed it upon his eyes. He was directed to wash his eyes in the pool of Siloam. The man was blind physically and received sight but also his eyes were opened spiritually as a result of the encounter with Christ. Many of the followers of Christ at that time were Pharisees who upheld the oldest laws and traditions of Israel. They were the seers of the people. The healed man was thrown out after being questioned by another group of Pharisees about actually being born blind. This story is found in John 9:1-41.
We must guard against the mindset of thinking we see all things spiritually and are thoroughly self-sufficient saints. Christ must always be our guide to bring the light into the darkness. Some will say they can see possessing divers abilities and gifts sufficient to show them the way. They will proudly continue to boast because of knowledge of the Word. We must watch over our hearts and minds to not have a high conceit of our own wisdom that may be in contradiction to divine revelation.
~ ~ ~
We have to contend and insist upon the perfect will of God being performed within us, laying down all that is required of us. We must press toward the mark of the High Calling! Press!
In the midst of intercession for the saints, I began to call out shalom, shalom, shalom … many times, urgently declaring the completion and fulfillment of all that God desires for us in this season.
Philippians 3:12-16 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

I received this vision while in prayer. There was a large army of soldiers on horses facing the east. They were equipped for battle. The Father is saying we are Sons ready and committed no matter the cost. He is giving us the necessary things we need to conqueror and defeat the enemy. He is renewing us and strengthening us for the days ahead, no matter what the enemy is trying to tell us. Our hearts are one with the Father in pursuit of His will.
~ ~ ~
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto you. For with the same measure that you give it shall be given to you again.
In the time of fear and lack that may again come upon our nation, we must be a people of faith and trust and walk in the opposite spirit, demonstrating the kingdom of God, and trusting in God’s faithful promises and provision.

I have actually been praying off and on all weekend. I feel the weightiness of the Lord, of the commission and of His heart.
I saw the presence of the Lord looking to and fro for His intercessors, the saints.
I asked Father to open me up and remove all hindrances, to expose the walls and blocks that I have allowed to form.
Father will remove everything that is not of Him so that we can move into this new season.
I feel a heaviness (Judgement and Burning) for the things to come, but I know that in His presence all things will be made new again.

I saw a right ear in position of listening (shama); saw coiled bright light on the ground like mosquito repelling coils. A young man appears Middle Easterner was switching them on. I think of the scripture in Matthew 5 about “Do men light a candle and put it under a bushel?” It “should be on a candlestick to brighten the whole house, so let our light shine before men so they may see our good work and glorify our Father in Heaven.” Saw some swine, and I recalled the scripture in Matthew 7:6 about casting our pearls before the swine.
~ ~ ~
We cannot allow the things that so easily beset us to overtake us. We must stand firm in who we are in Him, knowing that He works all things for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Let us take the time for self-reflection, looking inward, in preparation for this glorious gathering that we would be ready to come boldly before the Throne of Grace and proclaim “Here am I, Lord, send me.”

Awaken! It’s time for the harvest! Sons are ready to give of their fruitfulness!

I saw the Saints lined up along a summit with a wilderness before them. In their hearts there was the spirit of Caleb – “Give us this mountain!” – before the Lord gave the release of His army into the Promised Land.
~ ~ ~
I saw the Saints being lifted up. I didn’t see a hand, but I felt like we were being lifted while standing on the palm of God’s hand. A complete surrendering and offering of heart was being represented. Then debris was flying around these Saints. It was not only going away from them, but also attempting to penetrate. I was reminded of how important it is to be steadfast, to watch and discern and protect/guard every aspect of who we are in Him and where we are placed.
~ ~ ~
2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. Our Father’s promises are true and filled with life everlasting. We are prepared unto every good work.

I saw us meeting around the same May Pole as I have before a couple times, from a vision years ago. But now, there’s a joy because each ribbon, which we hold, (indicating our partnership), extends to another….stretching out into the depths…. together…..gleaning together……savoring together……the unity of defining, even more, the ways of God! I declare 1 Thessalonians 5 over our Saints gathering.

I found myself underwater facing a tunnel. The tunnel was not apparent to just anyone, but I could easily see it. An empty hand reached out of the tunnel, as an offer for me to take it. I took it and followed into the tunnel into unknown territory. This spoke to me of a new level of partnership that our Father is offering to His sons in this timeframe/season. In the course of HIS living waters, we are being given an opportunity to flow with Him into new points of the unknown, totally reliant and trusting Him for our course of direction.

I saw a larger space. It was very quiet. The ceiling was domed and very high. It was shining with light and like white marble. There was a huge golden bowl of clear water on a dais. Then I became aware of others there with me. I went forward and as I walked forward, I was aware of how unclean my garments were. I set the weapons I had brought with me on the side of the basin and I got in. I thought of the passage in Isaiah 9 that says in part:
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. 5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire.
I was totally immersed into the water. It was hot and yet extremely cold, refreshing, exuberating, yet very peaceful, and, for an instant, I felt like I was drowning in it. When I was pulled out of the water I saw that I was dressed in new garments of clean white linen. I followed a long corridor and waited outside a door that was closed. I could hear low speaking within, but I could not hear the words. My heart was pounding within me and I knew I was awaiting new orders for going forth. I felt humbled and attentive. Everything within me felt anticipation and like I was ready to be flung forth at a high rate of speed.

I saw Jesus speaking Spirit-led truth to men that I knew to be authorities and magistrates.
Luke 11:11-12 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer or what ye shall say: 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

I saw the saints gathered before the Father. I saw a ditch form in front of us filled with the blood of Jesus Christ with God walking in the ditch between a smoking furnace and a burning lamp. We stood and watched as this passed before us. God began to instruct us that only He has prepared the sacrifice and only He walks between the smoking furnace and the burning lamp. To never be presumptuous of that understanding (Not by might, nor by power but by His Spirit). He said we must remember as we move in His covenant purpose with Him it is entirely dependent upon His will and work. He said He will not forget the works of His hands! He continued to instruct us that we must do things exactly as He reveals to us. It is vital that we do not veer to the left or to the right. And as we obey Him, we will be prosperous in His ways and release His covenant promises that will go before us.
Genesis 15:17-21 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Joshua 1:3-7 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 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. 6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Today in intercession, I am standing with this verse for our seminar and the saints.
Colossians 1.9,10. Do not cease to pray and desire that we might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. that we might walk worthy of the Lord unto all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that we might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work.

BENIN
Benin’s Report
During intercession when I was praying in tongues, I saw this: There was a pirogue in front of me with someone in it going straight ahead of me, crossing a river widthwise and I was on the right side of the river. I was threatened by the wind and the waves of the water.
There was another man with a sphere, like the terrestrial globe, a little bulky, cement-colored, supporting it with his hands against his belly. He was moving from left to right. As I pondered what I had seen, I heard: Everything is possible to him who believes. Nothing is impossible to him who believes.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Matthew 17 :20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

September 2023 Summary
It was in an atmosphere saturated with His presence and in deep intimacy that the saints waited on the Lord, eyes fixed on Him to welcome and know the desires of His heart and allow Him to adjust our partnership to His timetable, to evaluate what He is doing in order to function fully in our identity. (Pastor)
In this time of kingdom advancement, He calls us to depend on Him and trust Him, which requires vigilance and obedience on our part to be ready for what’s to come, allowing Him to develop us unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Positioned at His right hand, we press on to listen to His voice so as to receive His instructions and apply them. (Teacher)
In the joy and privilege we have of being partners at the Throne as devoted sons of His heart, we ask Him that He sha’al our nation, over which we proclaim His Kingship! Fully submissive to His will, we invoke Him to raise a harvest of sons and witnesses ready to give their lives (Prophet).
Arise, shine, for your light is coming! He exercises our hands in battle so that we go forward in the power of His grace to the extent that, positioned in faith, we move towards victory according to His purpose. He is with us to accomplish His mission. (Evangelist)
Refusing discouragement, fear and anything else that might hold us back, He stretches us in patience and trust, enabling us to give Him our yes, through which we offer ourselves to Him, sowing our lives for the kingdom so as to be ready for the harvest (Apostle).

September 2023 – Report
I heard: “I am the God of the redeemed, whoever comes to me will lack nothing. Then, “come to me you who are weary and burdened and I will give you my heavenly and eternal rest.”

An ascent to the Throne with something victorious, there was an honor in ascending. Vision of a light on the horizon that was shaped like a keyhole, the closer the light got the more I realized that this light was shaped like a man, it was Jesus walking on the water. Then, a time of intimacy, a heart to heart with our Lord.
~ ~ ~
Vision of big sickles cutting the wheat. I felt the fear of God, honor and I had in my hands a white veil perhaps that of a bride or a light cloth. Vision of the blood of Jesus being poured out on me from heaven.
~ ~ ~
God’s presence was so strong, so intense… I felt God’s favor telling my heart how pleased he was that His sons had humbled themselves and lowered themselves before him. I saw a luminous being in our midst, I thought it was Jesus so I asked him “sha’al” my region for God, my nation for God and I had this song in my tongue that declared and repeated: “France, remember, your God is your King”. I prayed that valiant sons would rise up, witnesses, sons ready to give their lives for God and for His purposes. I prostrated myself to implore God’s forgiveness for my nation and the spirit reminded me of this verse from Joshua 5:9 … I rolled the reproach of Egypt away from you. I was overwhelmed by the power of His grace poured out on His sons, I rose up in a march to go forward in that grace.

Numbers 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it
Numbers 14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
I can feel the pressure upon my spirit, from the Lord, to be of the same Caleb spirit.
Caleb refused to be deterred and pressed forward to take the land both in the natural and spiritually.
It’s the same for us in our tereo, and we take the land by our positioning, through our relationship and our walk with the Lord, in spiritual warfare and in standing.
Its where the Lord has the saints in this season.
For me this is hugely challenging at this time, and to be honest sometimes I am terrified by this deep yes to Him, to becoming all that He asks of me, yet knowing that He yearns for my yes, and it will bring joy to His heart.
~ ~ ~
I saw the saints forming circles and praying in unity. There were angels protecting the saints.
~ ~ ~
Aware that I was entering a new beginning, the Lord called out to me to obedience and trust, and to listen to His right hand and apply what He showed me.
How could I not give Him my little, He who has given me everything. I received the assurance of His grace every step of the way, and I truly felt the joy and privilege of being a partner in what He was doing now, of allowing Him to touch me through this process of re-consecration, which seemed to me like a seed for the expansion of the kingdom.

It was as if I were watching a contemporary dance performance in which two people were choreographing a routine in perfect synchronicity. One man, one woman, Jesus, His bride, in total union through dance.
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. Song of Songs 6:3 (KJV)
~ ~ ~
I understood that, in the midst of all that might be going on around me, the Father is asking two things from me:
1) to remain alert,
2) absolute obedience.
To remain alert – faithfully watching, waiting, and listening for Him to speak. Then, absolute obedience – prompt and unquestioning, reacting instantly and in absolute alignment with what He communicates to me.
~ ~ ~
During the time of intercession, I felt the Father’s presence very strongly.
His tangible gentleness touched me.
As we said “give us these mountains” (the ones you want) and “Father send us”, His approval and joy were evident.
He reminded us that he was with us and that we would want for nothing.
~ ~ ~
I felt that the Lord wanted me to open up to receive His instructions for prayer, to depend on Him more, that He wanted to show me His heart.
He reminded me of this verse:
Jeremiah 33 :3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

1) God frees us from the net of the fowler.
A vision of eagles in cages, sickly and plucked. They are not in their natural environment and are deprived of their living space.
Interpretation:
We need to go for everything that allows us to have life and grow into the perfect stature of Christ.
We need to get out of the systems that want to shut us in, to format us into preconceived molds, to get off the beaten track already pre-established for us in advance, in order to walk and discover the creative diversity of God’s ways and purposes, unique for each of his sons and daughters.
2) Jesus befriended fishermen, and sat and dined with them, for they were sick and in need of healing and life.
It’s time to get “out of our Christian clubs” and reach out to the lost where they are, not to condemn them, but to take an interest in them, win their trust and bring them to salvation in Jesus and to water baptism and the knowledge of Christ.
~ ~ ~
Father is recharging our spirits like batteries for a future elevation into a stronger light.
He is exercising our hands in battle to make us stronger to face the difficult times ahead. Through great challenges, our patience and trust in Him are stretched. All human securities are shaken.
Trust in the Eternal, for He will certainly act; what is impossible with man is possible with God, and all things are possible to him who believes. Keeping your eyes fixed on Him, the rewarder of those who seek Him.
I saw as if a hand were lifting a thick fog through the middle, hiding the next picture from view.
I could see a huge lighthouse on a hill, lighting up an entire territory.
I could hear “you will rise and shine, for your Light is coming”.
Isaiah 60:1-5 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for His promises will surely come to pass.
His Agape Love has been poured out. It is the greatest of powers.

I received that God is going to manifest Himself in a spectacular way. He will show His Greatness and Magnificence during the seminar.
