The Silver Trumpet Announces:

"The Thanksgiving Remnant"

“Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.” Acts 14:17. Our God has not left himself without witness but He always does good to us on this earth. He gave us the rain from heaven, making fruitful seasons on this earth filling our hearts with food and gladness. We are now moving quickly into the Thanksgiving holiday, which is the season of celebrating our King of Kings, the Almighty God who has graciously and generously given us food and gladness. It is a time to be grateful to the Father of lights and come before Him with hearts full of thanksgiving. Not only one day, but also everyday of the year.

***A BIBLE BELIEVING PEOPLE***

In the year of 1620 some people were very dissatisfied with the King of England and his church who did not teach about Jesus as Saviour and that He ruled men from within. Rather, the church was directed by men who did not understand the Bible. There was a small remnant in England who were true Christians and wanted to worship as the Bible instructed. Persecution then began and the church in England started putting the Bible-believing Christians in prison. This put these Bible-believing remnant of people in a real dangerous predicament. They had to get out of England and find a place where they could worship the Almighty God freely and not be afraid. They left England and went to Holland, but were there for some years realizing this was not where God wanted them to live and put down roots. This remnant of English Christians were thankful and faithful to God and wanted to serve Him freely. God had a very special purpose for them and would use them in a very special way. Our God has always looked for a people that would make Him Governor and King as Israel did years ago, therefore becoming witnesses of His goodness, love and protection, thus others would want to come and become part of His kingdom. These families who would become “the Pilgrims” and under the leadership of their pastor, prayed and finally decided not to go back to England but rather to the “New World” which later would become a great nation called the United States of America. Their greatest need was a ship so they could sail to the New World and they found one called “The Mayflower.” This Christian remnant became the first pilgrims to make this voyage across the perilous waters of the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. This ship was not made to carry people, but rather to carry cargo, but this was the only way out for them and they took the opportunity.

***132 BOARDED THE MAYFLOWER***

On August 5, 1620, 102 Pilgrims, of them 34 were children and 30 sailors, boarded the Mayflower. It was a very, very hard voyage for them. That ship sailed alone, but with God on her side she would not fail. The Word of God would map out the way for the next 90 days across the Atlantic. All their faith was in the one God, that what He started He would finish! Surely Psalms 119:105 was lighting the way, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” It was the light of Christ leading them into the adventure of a new day. They took very little clothes, some tools and utensils for cooking, but most important they had their Bibles, the most precious thing that they owned and their faith. There were no bathrooms or showers and all slept on the same deck of the ship. There was no room for the children to run and play. They all worked hard and made such sacrifices of love to get to the “New World” so they could be free in Christ. After 90 days of many hardships had passed, they reached Cape Cod; that place is now in the state of Massachusetts. William Bradford, one of the Pilgrim leaders wrote, “Many fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who brought them over the vast and furious ocean.” At one point in one of the great storms they encountered at sea, the Mayflower’s “main beam” cracked and they almost shipwrecked. Can you imagine everything in the ship was wet and damaged? Thank God that the pilgrims had brought a great big iron screw (nail) to help build houses. They used that big nail to keep the beam in place. This big nail represented the Christ within. In Ezra 9:8 it reads, “And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.” Ezra recognized that only a small remnant remained faithful to the Lord at that time. The Lord had acknowledged them as His own and given them a “nail” in the holy place that would lighten their eyes and revive them in their bondage. They would again build a “sure place” for Him where His honor and presence would dwell amongst them. Nothing was changed since the time of Ezra; the Lord was looking for His remnant people and found the Pilgrims. When Jesus, after His resurrection, spoke to doubting Thomas, John 20:27, “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side and be not faithless, but believing.” In other words see the prints in my hands and the hole in my side where those nails penetrated me in the “sure place” of Calvary.

***DANGEROUS WATERS***

Without Christ we (America) are on dangerous waters and just like the Pilgrims if they hadn’t had their faith in Jesus, the “sure nail” needed to hold that main beam together, surely they would have failed their mission by losing their course. They would have shipwrecked and been destroyed. If America does not return back to Calvary, the “sure place” where the nail (Jesus) is holding the main beam of this country together, so to speak. Then, we will continue to go down and be destroyed as a nation by the judgment of hurricanes, sudden strong winds, tornadoes, floods, severe weather, earthquakes, terrorism, etc.

***NAIL IN A SURE PLACE***

Isaiah 22:23 reads, “And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.” The Pilgrims carried and believed in the “sure place” of their hearts, their faith and love for the God of the Bible. God in His mighty power made a way for the Pilgrims who had a vision for a country where they could worship God freely. Without that “sure place” and the nail of Jesus, America will go down as a ship wrecked at sea. These Pilgrims had such great faith and love for the God of the Bible and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. They were the founders of America. The foundation had to be laid by a people whose heart burned with the love of Jesus and knew that they would not make it unless God was on their side. As soon as they landed in the new land, they had to make rules to be governed by; therefore, they established the Mayflower Compact, an agreement that was based on the Ten Commandments of the Bible obeying God’s commands. The beginning foundation was laid on Christ. “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” I Corinthians 3:10-11.

***GOD HAD A PLAN & PURPOSE***

I’m weeping as I write this message on seeing how far we have gone away from the one true God and the sure place of Calvary in America. Yet many not understanding that the blessing of being “the greatest country in the world” has been because His “sure mercies” have blessed us and it’s nothing of ourselves. We have been deceived to reject the one true God, the Ten Commandments, and prayer, etc. which are the banners of our faith, that made us an independent nation from all others, but very dependent upon Him alone. The Pilgrims did not come to a Holiday Inn or a Days Inn but lived on the Mayflower until they built the first house called the Common House. It was a storehouse, a church and meeting hall and met many other needs. The men and boys worked hard chopping wood and logs. The Lord would send an Indian named Squanto to come and show the Pilgrims how to fish in the rivers and plant corn that kept them from starving. That first winter these courageous and sacrificial people who had counted the cost lost half of the family of Pilgrims. They laid down their lives for the future of the next generation and the next generation and on and on, and here we are 385 years later and we can barely find “righteous” America. Their first Thanksgiving holiday was October 1621. The Pilgrims were so grateful to their God that for three days they ate and feasted while giving thanks to the God for everything He had given them. They gathered with their friends, the Indians, who had been so faithful, to help them. Everyone took part in that Thanksgiving holiday in Plymouth that November day so long ago. We are quickly approaching the Thanksgiving season.

***WE FORGET TO BE THANKFUL***

What’s happened to the people in America? Many of us have forgotten to be grateful from our hearts. Being truly grateful makes you look up to heaven to thank the Almighty God who is the provider of all things. A knowing down deep inside that we would be “nowhere” without Him! The word grateful means gratitude to someone and if you have gratitude then you are thankful. Thankful means grateful for kindness received. We have forgotten to be truly grateful and thankful to God. In Romans 1:21, it reads, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened.” When we forget to be “thankful” as the scripture above states, eventually our wisdom turns us into fools. (Vs-22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” (Vs. 26-28) “For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that such is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet….” And further in this chapter it reads (Vs 29-32) “Being filled with unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; backbiters, haters of God deceitful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Yes, they became a nation of sodomites and now we can better understand what is happening to the American people with their alternative lifestyles.

***BECAME BACKSLIDDEN***

Our wealth, money, pride and rebellion have made us an unthankful generation. The majority of the American mindset says, “I have gotten me these blessings, instead of “God has given me strength to work, be in health and provided for me and my own and I’m so grateful!” We have forgotten to be truly happy and joyous and we do not serve the Lord with gladness for the abundance of all things. In Deuteronomy 28:47-48. it reads, “Because thou servest not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things; and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.” And earlier in Deuteronomy 8:17-20, He said, “And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against this day that ye surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroyed before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.”

***FOUNDING FATHERS TAKE AMERICA***

Over a period of time America grew in size. Nine steps of land possession and purchases were taken to complete our nation, as we know it today. It started with the original states, New Western states, the Northwest Territory, and the Louisiana Purchase (comprised of 13 states), etc. America was possessed one step at a time from East to West. The Pilgrims arrived on the East Coast of the United States. The East Gate is the gate of true religion. The Pilgrims arrived on the shores of America with their Bibles under their arms and their fervent faith establishing a foundation on the sure place Calvary, and the sure nail, Jesus Christ. The Pilgrims represented the rock (Jesus Christ) the true religion. God gave America to a people who loved Him and would continue to love Him. America must come back to God to reach her destiny. Just recently our beloved state, Louisiana, was hit by two devastating hurricanes. I consider that state to be the foot of the nation. She was hit in the toe and then the heel from East to West, surely this was the wind of God. She has been hit and is limping right now. If ever she needs our prayers, it is now. When Thomas Jefferson, our third President, went to France to buy New Orleans, a key port, Napoleon did not want to sell but later changed his mind and sold not only New Orleans but also the whole Louisiana Territory. God had a purpose and a plan for Louisiana and the city of New Orleans that is on the mouth of the Mississippi River. Hurricane Katrina did severe damage to New Orleans, but our God still has a purpose and a plan for this city and in time as we pray, I assure you, will see it.

***THE PILGRIMS LANDED***

The Pilgrims landed on America‘s shores in the Fall – November 1620. The fall was the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, the fall festival of Israel. During this feast Israel had to leave their homes each year for a period of 7 days and live in a Succoth, which was a hut-like little house made of branches. It had to have a window type hole in the top of the roof so they could look up unto the great heaven during the day and the stars and moon at night. Thus they would be reminded that it was the great God of Heaven who had kept them fed, sheltered and protected throughout the year. Also, they remembered that their forefathers lived in Succoth huts, with much sacrifice, when on their journey to the Promised Land. It was God’s object lesson annually so they would never forget God’s goodness and kindness to them and without Him there would be no blessing, material or otherwise! After seven days they would return to their homes and they would be so grateful for all the goodness of God. This festival also was known as the “Festival of Shelters.” This is how God kept the nation humble and grateful which are ingredients needed to keep us in prosperity, physical, spiritual, mental and financial. I’ve preached for years that God was going to bring a real Succoth celebration to America to get us to remember His kindness and goodness that we would remember to be truly grateful. And if we are grateful we will be humble, not ungrateful and proud. Now hurricanes, tornadoes, strong winds and floods are destroying our homes in America and many Americans will celebrate the Festival of Shelters or go to a small place like campers, etc.

***FESTIVAL OF SUCCOTH***

America, we don’t need such severe lessons, but rather let us celebrate Succoth in thoughts, heart, and prayers by remembering what the Pilgrims established for you and me. Let us look up to heaven this Thanksgiving season and be truly thankful. Let us not worship the work of our hands, but rather worship the One who made our hands and gives us the power to use them and get wealth—the maker of all things. As praying people, let us stand in the gap together and pray. “Please God, we repent, forgive us that we have become an ungrateful nation and let this Thanksgiving be a “turn around” towards being truly grateful for the blessings you have bestowed upon us here in this great nation.” Amen. America! America! God shed His grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea! Truly His Word has come to pass for us here in America. “Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.” Acts 14:17 To God Be the Glory!

THE SILVER TRUMPET ANNOUNCES

Here Comes Deborah--A Battle Maiden

“ Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak and lead thy captivity captive, thou Son of Abinoam.” Judges 5:12

Who was Deborah? She was an executive leader in Israel—divinely appointed by God. This meant that God raised Deborah up as one with administrative ability and authority. Deborah had the mind of Christ and moved in Godly wisdom. Deborah’s name signifies a bee. A bee is industrious and an industrious person is one who is diligently active. Bees are also cultivated for their wax and honey. Honey is sweet and wax is useful. God is calling BATTLE MAIDENS for service such as Deborah with a sweet spirit of willingness, who will be useful, diligent and stand bravely in the front lines of battle in prayer against the enemy for their families, churches and communities. Judges 5:7, “The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose that I arose a mother in Israel.” Why was Deborah called a mother? A mother is one who gives, protects and leads with much love. Deborah gave of her time to serve God’s people. She protected and led her people with care and concern. She was sensitive to their needs and not her own. God is looking for women with Godly character such as Deborah, battle maidens, who love their country, who will pray to protect our nation and communities from the onslaughts (drugs, murder, abortion, etc.) of the enemy. The Holy Spirit looks to recruit Saints of God with Deborah qualities who will pray diligently for our nation. Judges 4:1-4, “And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead, And the Lord sold them into the hands of Jabin, King of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightly oppressed the children of Israel. And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at the time.” The Lord sold Israel into the hand of Jabin, King of Canaan because they had slipped back into sin. When we forsake God, He will forsake us; then we become as prey to the SPOILERS. Has our nation become an easy prey to the spoilers of pornography, suicide rape and missing children because of her abominations and sinful ways? After 20 years of oppression, the Israelites begin to cry out for deliverance and mercy. Here, we see the forgiving nature and loving heart of the Father. He heard them and sent them Deborah, as a deliverer, to help them. General Sisera was the Captain of Jabin’s host. Jabin’s name means “intelligent” and it also signifies battle array—an orderly arrangement of troops. He reigned in Hazor that was reckoned as a place—“Head of those kingdoms.” We get some insight to King Jabin’s character. He was powerful, strong and intelligent—yet God raised a woman to bring down and destroy this powerful kingdom of darkness. As Deborah United Intercessors has also been given a divine plan, to become a divine connection of PRAYER WATCHMEN, one sure way of overcoming the enemy. Judges 4:5, “ And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.” Deborah was a warrior entirely devoted to the services of Israel because she loved her people. She judged not as a princess appointed by civil authority, but as a prophetess called and ordained by God. She truly gave of herself to accomplish God’s will. Her life style could not have been very glamorous since the Book of Judges states that she judged Israel from under the palm tree. Deborah was probably like most women, enjoyed a comfortable life style with all the frills and ruffles of pleasurable living, but when her name was called, she chose to deny her personal ambitions to be on the battle field to set her people free from the enemy. She chose to roll up her sleeves, go out into the muddy fields on a chariot for the deliverance of her people. So many times we would like to be used by God in a mighty way, but we are not willing to die to self, or give up our own dreams and ambitions to become that vessel that God can use for His glory. Deborah can be a real inspiration for us today. “Judges 4: 8-9, “And Barak said unto her if thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.” What is this? Barak would not go without Deborah! We could assume that Barak was a weak man because he needed a woman to accompany him on the battle field. On the contrary, Barak was not at all weak, but brave, meek and full of God’s wisdom. Deborah prophesied to Barak that the spoils of war (Sisera) would be credited to a woman. We see the unselfish character of Barak—he did not care about recognition. He knew there was a job that needed to be done and he was the man chosen to help in the battle and he did. Glory to God! The men who work alongside United Intercessors are warriors who recognize that God has a special place for women. Barak was from the tribe of Naphtali, which means “wrestler”. Today, it will take wrestling in prayer (coupled with fasting) against these demonic spirits to make them release their grip of iron upon our families, communities, and nation. Judges 4:6, “And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh- Naphtali, and said unto him, “Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?” This can possibly sound like foolishness, that God would use a woman to defeat the enemy, and if that were not silly enough, Deborah, was instructed by God to send 10,000 foot soldiers into the battle without weapons to fight the army of Sisera, who had 900 chariots of iron. We are looking for just a few men and women who will answer the call to prayer and enlist in the praying army of the Lord.. Judges 5:26, “ She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, and she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temple.” She (Jael) supported the nail with her left hand and the right went to the workman’s hammer. The left hand and the right hand went to the workman’s hammer. The left hand here can represent the supportive hand of intercession and the workman’s hammer is symbolic to the Word of God ministered in power by the five-fold ministry gifts. The five-fold ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:13 has five offices which represent God’s ministers and it’s interesting that Barak’s name has five letters in it. Today, the five-fold ministry gifts need to recognize that in order to bring down the kingdoms of darkness, intercession will have to pave the way, and together in unity, they will have the VICTORY. Barak and Deborah were a team working together. The Word of God hammered away lethal blows of death to the enemy till the works of darkness were destroyed. Where did Jael apply the final blow to the enemy? She didn’t aim without purpose or direction; she used wisdom and strategy. She aimed at the head and her hammer (Word of God) will have to pound away in the labor of intensified prayer against the powers, principalities, rulers of darkness and wicked spirits. We encourage churches and their leaders to link together in the power of prayer by the "Divine Connection Of Praying People, here at UIPWC. (WATCHMEN). Ephesians 4:13, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” The Lord is calling the body of Christ to work together in the unity of the faith to bring down the works of darkness in our communities. God’s aim, purpose and strategy will come as we unite together to make war against the enemy. As we study the kingdoms of darkness and their strategies, we see that they have a chain of command and an order. There is always a principality (TERRITORY) with a ruler and his subordinates executing the works of darkness. The kingdoms of darkness operate somewhat like an octopus. The octopus is an animal that is known for his cleverness and intelligence. He has eight strong tentacles and their grip is as iron. You can cut off his tentacles but they will grow back and in order to completely immobilize him, you have to destroy the head. As in the case of Captain Sisera, the woman used the workmen’s hammer and nail while she pierced and smote Captain Sisera’s head (clever mind), thus destroying King Jabin and Captain Sisera, As we use the Word of God in spiritual warfare against the evil works, we will do the same. Judges 4:15:16, “ And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak: So that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet. But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.” The word “discomfit” means to frustrate, to keep from taking place. The Lord discomfited Sisera with the edge of the sword. What is our sword today? The WORD OF GOD and the strategy of UNITY. (Ephesians 6:17) Deborah and Barak also chased their enemies. “Chased” means to pursue, follow, to put to flight, drive away. We must also chase, pursue, drive away the enemy and put him to flight. Deborah whose name signifies a bee describes her character in chasing the enemy because bees do chase their victims and have a powerful sting. (Deuteronomy 1:44) We, as the body of Christ will have to take the offensive position and chase Satan and his co-horts, taking by force in prayer and intercession what rightfully belongs to us in Jesus’ name. Micah 4:13, “ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.” God gave U.I. a commission- to call prayer warriors to much serious prayer for our country, church leadership, those in authority, government, revival in America, Israel and help unite His people in prayer around our cities, making up a hedge of protection against the wiles of the enemy. Now the hour calls for something different- the divine connection of prayer. E-mail me today at uipwc@bellsouth.net or http://www.uipwc.com/ and lets work together in the unity of the faith. Our Lord Jesus knows that some of the battles that lay ahead will take a united effort in Jesus Christ to win the victory. Judges 5:15-20, “And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches. Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field. The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.” United Intercessors, a battle maiden, calls to the praying friends as Deborah called to the tribes of Israel. Sadly to say, only part of the tribes responded. Some ignored the call, others were too busy--perhaps some had their eyes on the vessel, a woman, who was not their choice. They failed to see or hear what the Spirit of the Lord was saying. God, who looks not on the outward appearance, but sees the heart, knew that Deborah was a vessel that would be industrious, faithful and committed to getting the job done for Him. As we read in the Book of Judges about Deborah, we see that she was a servant who would stop at nothing to accomplish her commission from God. Reuben, Gilead, Dan, and others did not come to assist in the battle. We have some of the same attitudes today in the Church of Jesus Christ. The Silver Trumpet of War sounds and there are those playing on the seashore, some are fishing and others are too proud to answer the call to unity in prayer. But, we thank God for all of you the present Praying Watchmen, men and women as Zebulon and Napthali, full of valour and love for their country and communities, who will risk their lives, work & pray long hours, and give up all to bring God’s kingdom to glory by staying in the battle against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 144:5-6 “Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.” Deborah’s enemies were scattered and fled at her presence because of the mighty blows she dealt them by the powerful Christ who dwelt in her. The heavens rained hail and brimstone upon Sisera, the enemy. The almighty God fought on their behalf. We know he will never leave or forsake us. He is our Commander-In-Chief leading the battles against the enemy. We are a Servant to the Body of Christ, instructing, and teaching how to overcome together the forces of darkness in the unity of faith. Judges 5:3 “Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.” After the battle comes a song with the victory, Joy cometh in the morning. Come and work together so we can sing a song of VICTORY! Deborah thus accomplished Israel’s first UNITED ACTION in 175 years; she knew the power of unity and the Father’s heart. Only in the unity of the faith in prayer will the church win the war against the rulers of the darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places coming against our nation, Body of Christ and His Church. Judges 5:12 “Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.” Awake means to begin to act, to exert power, to become active. Beloved praying people wake up and utter a song of victory over the enemy. Praying friends be active, will you answer the call? Do you hear the sound of the Silver Trumpet of War-much prayer and many praying people are needed? We are presently working with many praying people, but we need many, many more.

Will you answer the call and join the Divine Connection of the Lord? Let’s unite our efforts in prayer and win our communities, nation and families for the kingdom of God. E-mail me at uipwc@bellsouth.net or call the UIPWC Prayer Line: 337-948-1501

The Silver Trumpet Announces:

Your Desert Shall Blossom

Like A Rose

Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. Over the years I have asked myself this question, “Why are not more Christians living the more abundant life?” God’s Word is truth and it does not lie. His Word says that the thief steals, the thief kills and the thief destroys and that Jesus came that we might have life (in this world) more abundantly!! We don’t need abundant life after we leave this world, but we need it now in this time! Yet, many born-again, blood-bought saints are shedding tears and still living in their sorrow, pain and sickness or their poverty. They truly love the Lord. They pray, go to church and serve, but the curse of sorrow still continues to operate in their lives. They walk in joy and happiness for a season, but then their crying starts all over again—the tears never seem to go away. Something always manages to happen that keeps them in sorrow and tears. Their children, spouse or loved ones somehow disappoint them, or financial problems come their way and its crying time again. Over the years I have come across many good books. As I look over the titles, there are some on how to cope with pain, how to cope with disappointment, how to cope with sorrow. Yet I’ve never run across one that tells you how to break the curse of sorrows. The body of Christ is entering a brand new Spiritual season and truly a Season of Jubilee. Every new season brings with it a new glory. We go from glory to glory, being changed into His image by the Spirit of the Lord. (II Corinthians 3:18) In order for the body of Christ to move forward, new revelations are being released unto us to help move us into that new glory. The new glory is sent from heaven above at God’s perfect hour, the opportune time to counteract the works of darkness, which will also come stronger in this hour.

***CURSE CAUSELESS***

In this hour I could have shared with you about judgment upon the nation, the economic breakdown, or the anti-Christ, and the list could go on. But the message enclosed is what the Holy Spirit said we needed to weather out the storms brewing on the horizon. As lost people, we all had to learn about salvation and receive it by faith so we could partake of that truth and new glory. I truly believe that many good saints have not appropriated the fullness of what our God in Heaven did for them at the Cross of Calvary. I truly believe that there are many, many of God’s good people who have not broken the curse of sorrows over their lives. In the book of Proverbs 26:2, it reads, “As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.” This means that an undeserved curse shall not touch you. But on the other hand if the curse is touching you, then there is a reason for it, just as the bird wanders and the swallow flies. What is a curse? A curse means any evil, injury, or simply the opposite of blessing. Some of you probably will say, “I am a child of God and under no curse, but rather under the blessing” and I certainly agree with you. My question however, is “If we are under the blessing, then why are there still many children of God shedding tears over sickness, pain, disappointment or financial problems?” I would like to share with you the revelation that the Holy Spirit brought to me by dream on how to break the curse of sorrows in our lives and quit eating the bread of tears so we can truly enter in to the true joy and enjoy abundant life.

***CURSE THRU DISOBEDIENCE***

In the book of beginnings (Genesis) we are told that the serpent beguiled Eve by eating the forbidden fruit of the tree in the garden. She, in turn, gave some of that fruit to her husband. Therefore, all of mankind came under the curse. The God of heaven was so disappointed in what they had done that He cursed the serpent above all cattle, above every beast of the field, made it crawl upon its belly and eat dust all the days of its life. Upon the woman He greatly multiplied sorrow in pregnancy. “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. Genesis 3:17 He told Adam that because of his disobedience “in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.” Adam was cursed to eat the “bread of sorrows” for the rest of his days. God’s Word says that it is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late to eat that bread. (Psalm 127:2). Many good Christians are eating the bread of sorrows unnecessarily and the thief is stealing, killing, and destroying. Because of man’s disobedience, God cursed him with the bread of tears and to drink tears in great measure. “Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.” Psalm 80:5. But the hour is come that we, the body of Christ and especially “you” who are reading this message, will be delivered from eating the bread of sorrow and tears. The curse of sorrow came upon all mankind in the beginning of time. Every man born carries it until the day of his deliverance. Man looks to get rid of that curse of sorrow any way he can find in this world, with no success. This is why he turns to drugs, alcohol, and other things, hoping to drown out his sorrow and find happiness and joy. The old saying, “Wine, women, and song” is Satan’s devices of plunging man into a deeper depression and sorrow, with no hope in this world.

***JOY REPLACES SORROW***

Man needs true joy in his life. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine…” Proverbs 17:22. When man has joy instead of sorrow, he will be healed and made whole and live in divine health and have a prosperous life. The first Adam plunged all of us into that death of sorrow. Jesus, our Savior, (also known as the second Adam) did not only save us at the cross, but fully delivered us at Calvary. When man constantly has sorrow in his life, then he is open to sickness, disease, and poverty to plague him daily. We can now begin to understand why some Christians are not living the abundant life. Now, there is a “good sorrow” ordained of the Lord. “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” II Corinthians 7:10. Yes, Church, the sorrow of the world works death in our lives and godly sorrow always works repentance to something much, much better which is life, joy and peace in Christ Jesus called the “abundant life.” As the body of Christ, we are tired of the bread of tears; we are ready for some of that abundant life instead of the bread of sorrows.” Jesus Christ, our Lord took the “curse of the bread of sorrows” to Calvary and it was nailed to the cross forevermore. When many of us came into the revelation that sickness and disease went to Calvary, we began to appropriate it and God’s healing gift began to manifest on the earth, and heal the sick and diseased in the name of Jesus. Many got healed and then got sick again. A few kept their miracle, while yet others never got healed. “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” Isaiah 53:4. Church, He, (Jesus), carried our sorrow to Calvary. The curse of the bread of tears was nailed to the cross. Beloved, that curse must be individually broken over our lives with an action of faith so we can enter into unspeakable joy and blessings. If we don’t, then we will continue to eat the bread of sorrows.

***REVELATION THRU A DREAM***

Earlier in this newsletter, I shared with you that this message came to me by divine revelation in a dream. For years I have prayed with the blood-bought saints over the prayer line and many are constantly eating the bread of sorrows. There is one sister in particular I’ve ministered to for quite some time. Things would go well for a season then it was crying time again. At times it was the children, sickness hit them, the husband was acting up, and the list goes on. I have prayed with this precious sister, “Lord give her joy and happiness and lift her up out of this state.” Then, one day I had a dream. In the dream she and her children were sitting on the floor eating and crying. As they ate and chewed their food, tears were rolling down their faces. I reached out my arms to comfort the mama and her children and said, “I’m so tired of seeing you and your children crying while you eat. The Lord does not want you to cry anymore.” And on that note, I awoke out of that dream. Throughout the morning I wondered what this dream meant and the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, and said, “She is under the curse of sorrows and eating the bread of tears. She needs help; the curse needs to be broken off of her. She needs to appropriate what Jesus did for her at Calvary—surely He has borne her sorrows on Calvary hill!!!” Oh, what a revelation to my soul that was! The Holy Spirit began to give me so much to share with you in this love letter. I want to tell you that Jesus wants to set you free. His word promises, “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.” Isaiah 35:1. He said, when the curse of the bread of sorrows is broken, many people’s deserts shall blossom as the rose. “It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing…” Isaiah 35:2. As you read this newsletter, get ready for the curse to be broken over your life, then your desert shall blossom. How? As a rose, and abundantly with joy and singing!! Yes, your parched ground shall become a pool and the thirsty land, springs of water. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with sons and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they will obtain joy and gladness and what?—Sorrow and sighing will flee away! What is going to flee? The curse of sorrow!

***POSSESS WHAT IS YOURS***

It is time for the church to have true joy and singing!! It says that the ransomed of the Lord will receive this blessing. Who are the ransomed of the Lord? The ransomed of the Lord – you and I – are those bought with a price. We have a promise Church—we will come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon our heads that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Romans 4:20). And we shall obtain joy and gladness as the curse is broken—sorrow has to go! Many of us have sung those words for years in our churches by faith – “The redeemed of the Lord shall return and come with singing…” But now we will begin to see the manifestation of it. “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.” Galatians 3:13. Yes through faith, Church, we will receive the promise of the Spirit and enter into a rest. "And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve.” Isaiah 14:3. I know another young man very well and he loved the Lord and served him to the best of his ability. Things would go well for awhile and he and his little family would enjoy the blessing. Then suddenly something would happen and it was crying time again. One day the Lord showed him weeds around his house, which represented the curse of the thorns and thistles. He rose up in the power of the Holy Ghost and took a chopping hoe and began to pray and chopped his own weeds. In broad daylight, unashamedly, he shouted at Satan that the curse of thorns and thistles was no longer operating over his life because of the blood of Jesus. Things began to change for the better. Just recently, he also has appropriated the breaking of the sorrows curse and the curse of divorce was also broken over him and his little wife. Oh, I’m telling you, God promised His people a Jubilee and we are going to enter in. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19. Yes, Jesus is our Jubilee!

***IT’S YOUR JUBILEE***

If after reading this letter you feel that you have been under the curse of sorrow, eating the bread of tears, and although you, are a born-again Christian, then possibly you have not appropriated all that Jesus did for you at Calvary, then start praying right away breaking the curse of sorrow and tears, Jesus will hear your cry. Begin to experience joy and gladness in your life and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. Jubilee shall be yours as promised. To God Be the Glory! Thank you so much for reading this message.

The Silver Trumpet Announces:

Jesus, Our Heavenly Assurance

Dear Ministry Friends, let us look together at Psalm 103:1-3, that reads, “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” Yes, Great is the Lord and His Holy Name is greatly to be praised! We are so very grateful to the Father in Heaven that sent us His only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, our Wonderful Saviour. He has promised to be with us and never leave us or forsake us. Today is a time in history when we need to know just that, while resting in the assurance of every promise that He has given us. “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to day and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8. He will never change! Today, as we face numerous problems in our society most of what is on people’s minds is the uncertainty of the economy of America. Some of our questions may be, what if it crashes? What if we lose so much industry, there will be none, where will we work, what will we do? Good questions, but the Lord has all the answers for us. The Holy Spirit has given me some very “good news” especially for you—which is the Word of God—Jesus our ASSURANCE. “And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.” Isaiah 32:17. The word ASSURANCE among other meanings, means full confidence or trust, freedom from doubt; a promise, to insure and make secure. Beloved, you can have full confidence in the promises of God, don’t doubt, because His word is security and also our insurance IN THE MIDST OF ANY TROUBLE which includes our troubled economy. Yes, we are insured to be taken care of by our Father in Heaven. Yes, you have a Heavenly Word that you can have full trust in. Most people know that when you have an insurance policy, as long as you are paying the premiums you are covered. Well as long as we remain a child of God then we can also be assured that our Calvary premium was paid once and for all and we are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, OUR ASSURANCE. Every promise of God instructs us on what we need to do to reap the full benefits. Many times people will sit down and read their policy to see what benefits they are entitled to and how much. We also have an “assurance” policy that we need to sit down and read and that is the Word of God (Bible) to also see what benefits we are entitled too. Psalm 103:2, reads, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” Since the world’s economy is in question, then we can be assured that the economy of God is not. The promise above does not read “forget not some of his benefits, but rather it reads, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS. The economy of God which will never fail us is stimulated by faith and based on our GIVINGS into His kingdom. It is not like Wall Street that when people invested, many lost their life savings, their retirement benefits, etc. The world’s economy is not a sure thing. First they said the bailouts were the answer and now trillions of dollars can’t do it and now they are talking about raising our taxes to get out of the financial troubles. In days to come it will get worse, therefore, you and I were never meant to be dependent on the world’s economy or better known in the bible as the Babylonian system.

***GOD’S ECONOMY***

We need to be part of God’s economy by investing into the heavenly bank by tithing and bringing offerings. Therefore, there are many principles or keys that unlock the “sure” financial care of the saints in these uncertain days. You and I are not to live in doubt, fear, and insecurity about our care. The Word of God says in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom….” To have assurance of your financial care, you must GIVE! There is no other way to reap of the benefits of the kingdom. The God of Heaven said in Malachi 3:8, “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings” When you tithe and bring offerings then you are investing into heaven’s economy insured to be taken care of by the Father in Heaven. Now is the season to give offerings to the poor and bring your tithes into the storehouse. It is time to invest in a “sure” thing. The poor is not necessarily those that live on skid row, although they could be the poor. There are times that I have been poor, you have been poor, or had times of leanness. In Psalms 41:1-3, it reads, “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on the bed of languishing, thou wilt make all his bed in sickness.” This scripture begins with the word, BLESSED is he who considereth the poor. The amplified bible reads HAPPY, fortunate to be envied is he who considers the poor. The word tells us that our God blesses those who are kind to the poor.

***HEAVENLY STOCK***

Do you want to know what heavenly stock is paying off right now, the best dividends—it is called the poor. It further says that He will help us out of our troubles. Isn’t that a great promise that those that are GIVERS to the poor our Father in heaven will help us out of our troubles. That includes financial troubles because of a bad economy. The second promise is: The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive: and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou will not deliver him unto the will of enemies. When you GIVE AND CONSIDER THE POOR, the Lord will protect you and keep you alive. What an insurance policy! He wants you alive because you are special to him because you are a GIVER to the poor. He needs a true giving heart that can be considered an investor in the stock of heaven. And then further it says, “And he shall be blessed upon the earth.” Yes, he shall be called “blessed” in the earth. He publicly honors them. “And thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.” Can you believe this WONDERFUL promise of God in this scripture, HE WILL DESTROY THE POWER OF YOUR ENEMIES! He will rise up on your behalf. Then next is the promise of God that declares, “The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.” God says He will nurse us back to health when we are ill, He will be right there, He wants the GIVER to have long healthy life, He will not let go of you.

***HIS PROMISES***

His promises are to sustain, refresh, and strengthen us in times of illness. He will soothe our pain and worries. Should you and I be worried about high health cost with that kind of promise? What a wonderful insurance to be covered under—the blood of Jesus making us heirs to His promises. Just think seven (7) wonderful promises in this scripture of Psalms 41: 1-3. He will bless us if we are GIVERS considering the poor. He will preserve us, He will keep us alive, He will honor us on the earth, He will not deliver us unto the will of our enemies, He will strengthen us and make our bed, then care and nurse us back to health if we should fall into sickness- Glory to God, seven (7) wonderful promises of heavenly insurance. How can the heavenly economy even be compared to the poor, deteriorating economy in America which can also be compared to bags with holes.

***NOW IS THE SEASON***

Are you depending on the world’s economy or bringing tithes, and offerings investing into the heavenly kingdom. Now is the season to bring your best tithe and offerings for those in need. Give to your church or a good ministry and they will know what to do with those offerings. Let them disperse, they know the poor who are among them. Who knows it may be your pastor and His family, or He knows of a family in the community, or a neighbor who is in need. Every year we give something “special” to those that are less fortunate then we are – we help the poor!! I want to do something special for the poor, therefore send you best offering at this time of the year. Jesus said in Matthew 26:11, “For ye have the poor always with you...” Let us invest into the true, everlasting economy of Heaven, where the best stock paying the highest dividends is named “God’s House” and “The Poor” and watch God meet your needs in Jesus name!! To God Be The Glory! Thank you so much for reading this message. If you would like to make a copy or copies of this newsletter, you are welcome to do so.

The Silver Trumpet Announces:

"America, I Will Judge Your

Basket And Store"

By: Prophetess hilda arredondo

The Great Almighty God thundered a warning to Israel through His servant Moses. “But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store…Deuteronomy 28:15-17. Israel’s BASKET AND STORE represented their abundance of food, plentiful gardens and lands, cattle, and their food supply. The blessing of abundance overtook Israel, therefore she was richly blessed by the Hand of God. God’s people had need of nothing—all their needs were abundantly met! Later Israel strayed, sinned and God sent the curse upon her basket and store. Then the people cried and lamented because of the terrible curse of poverty.

***GOD’S BLESSING OF ABUNDANCE REMOVED***

Today, America has been a blessed nation and our basket and store has produced abundantly for us as Americans. But just as Israel sinned, so have Americans strayed and sinned, broken God’s commandments and committed idolatry by chasing other gods. Therefore, the curse of God has come upon our basket and store. It is a time for us to weep, pray, and call a solemn assembly because of what’s coming upon our nation. Just recently I was in a restaurant enjoying a wonderful meal when we bumped into a Christian couple coming home from being on vacation. They had just come through some of the flooded areas of the Midwest. As this sister shared the terribleness of the waters and how she had prayed and prayed, I continued to listen intently. The Holy Spirit quickened me to ask her, “Aren’t the Midwestern states known as the ‘BREADBASKET”. She answered, “yes, they are!” Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, “the floods in the Midwest are not just an unfortunate calamity, but rather a judgment sent by My Hand to the BREAD BASKET of America. Ezekiel 14:13 reads, “Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it…” As I looked around the restaurant, the Holy Spirit revealed the godlessness of many of the people who were eating. Most of the people did not even think to thank and bless God for the food they were enjoying, taking God’s blessings for granted. For a moment I was caught up in the Spirit of the living God and I could hear Him telling me these words, “they have forgotten me, their God; therefore, I will judge their basket and store”. If we open up our history books we find out that TWELVE (12) states make up the Midwest. They are Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Illinois. TWELVE (12) is the number of governments. These TWELVE (12) states, therefore, govern the food supply of the United States. Not only do they govern the food supply, but they are known as the HEARTLAND of America. When you think of the heart of the physical body in the natural sense, several questions may come to mind. What is its function and what does it do? We can say that the heart is the primary organ that keeps life pumped into our veins. We can live and do without a leg, an arm, an eye, but without the “heart” we are dead! The Midwestern states can be considered the HEART that keeps the life supply of food pumped into the nations veins. Without the products of these states we will not survive as a great nation, but die! The recent flood in the Midwest is a message from heaven—a judgment blow upon idolatrous America. The floods speak to us prophetically; he who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.

***AMERICA’S BREAD BASKET UNDER JUDGMENT***

The Midwest states, which make up the BREAD BASKET OF AMERICA, produce the greatest bulk of food stuffs as meat, and grain. They produce one half of the wheat crops grown in the United States. Forty percent (40) of the nation’s cattle and cows are raised there. Four-fifths (4/5ths) of the hogs are raised in the Midwest and Chicago is the largest meat packing center known as the “hogopolis” or Porkopolis” of the nation. Minnesota is a leader in oats. The Midwestern states lead in the production of livestock fodder; therefore, cattlemen can produce superior livestock, supplying the American people with the highest quality of meat. Food processing is a major industry of the Midwest. It accounts for forty-three percent (43%) of our farm income. One fourth (1/4th) of the population of the United States is there! It is the “transportation hub” of the nation. Iowa and Illinois are the largest producers of corn and soybeans. Wisconsin is a leader of dairy products. The Midwest leads in farm related equipment and is known as the “manufacturing center” of the United States. You will find it the leader of heavy industry because of its iron and steel. It is the richest stretch of agricultural land in the United States. The Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri river make it the most “fertile heartland” in America. The Midwest states are the HEART OF AMERICA and our God has dealt it a severe blow of judgment because of our idolatry and sinfulness. The book of Joel, Chapter 1 verse 11 in the Living Bible reads, “Well may you farmers stand so shocked and stricken; well may your vinedressers weep. Weep for the wheat and the barley too, for they are gone”. “Our food will disappear before our eyes; all joy and gladness will be ended in the temple of our God. The seed rots in the ground; the barns and granaries are empty; the grain has dried upon the fields. The cattle groan with hunger; the herds stand perplexed for there is no pasture for them; the sheep bleat in misery.” Yes, the Lord sent Israel’s basket and store judgment and He has sent the same to America today. She has filled herself with rebellion, drugs, alcohol, murder, dishonesty, idolatry, adultery, fornication and she is grasping for her last breaths of life.

***THE BLAST OF THE WARNING TRUMPET***

“Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7 The Lord sounds his alarm through his servants the prophets to the nation, let the blast of the warning trumpet be heard through out the land, let everyone tremble in fear, therefore the day of the Lord’s judgment is upon us—cursed shall America’s basket and store be if she does not repent. Many of us reading this booklet have diligently prayed and prayed for our nation to have revival, yet it hasn’t truly come the way we would like to see it. But I would encourage you to continue to pray. Please do not stop! Le us continue to intercede; perhaps the God of heaven will pity his people and send us true revival. There is a righteous remnant in America today, “his church," a people whom Jesus Christ died for, and He will never leave us or forsake us but will remember us for good in time of judgment upon the land. Your next question may be what can we do? The answer again is in His Word, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me all your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, mourning. Let your remorse tear at your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord you God, for he is gracious and merciful. He is not easily angered; he is full of kindness, and anxious not to punish you. Who knows? Perhaps even yet he will decide to let you alone and give you a blessing instead of His terrible curse….” Joel 2:12-14. Prayer Warriors, let us pray without ceasing. Amen. To God Be the Glory!

The Silver Trumpet Announces:

" The Prayer Of Break Through"

By: Prophetess hilda arredondo

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 In this verse of scripture we are instructed, along with the following seven verses, to put on the whole armour of God for two (2) major reasons. One being, “To stand against the wiles of the devil.” In this life, we are going to have to battle against the strategies, devices, tricks, plans, schemes and the forces of darkness that come to kill, to steal and destroy the Christian. God does not want us outsmarted and destroyed by the devil; therefore, as we put on the armour of God, that armour will protect us in the battles against the principalities, rulers and the powers of darkness. This is very, very important to our spiritual well being. Another reason for wearing the armour is one that is equally as important and many times overlooked or missed by the saints of God. In verse 18 of this same chapter, we find this very important reason. It reads, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplications for all saints.” We are instructed in this verse of scripture to “pray always for all saints.” As I have diligently sought the Lord for God’s prayer direction in this hour the Holy Spirit has spoken to me and I have clearly understood that this is “the hour” that He would want us to “pray for one another” like never before! In order to bring about this final day move of revival, “praying for one another” is imperative! As we “pray for one another” it will release the flow of the oil of the Spirit into the body of Christ needed for this mighty move of God. This action of prayer releases the holy oil of the Spirit and can be compared to the blood flow in the natural body. When the blood flow (life) in the physical body begins to slow down, poor circulation sets in and blood clots (obstructions) begin to form and sometimes total blockages occur, causing the blood flow to cease, resulting in heart attacks. In some cases, when those body parts are without the life flow of the blood for a long time, they die. Then, they are cut off because of the poor circulation that ceases to bring life (blood) to those body parts. Prayer from one member of the body of Christ to another keeps the oil of the Holy Spirit flowing. This spiritual principle of the “flow of the Spirit” can be compared to the good flow of the blood that is being pumped in the physical body that keeps every body member healthy and thriving. Not praying for “one another” can be compared to the poor flow of blood or poor circulation that ceases to bring life to that body part. When we concentrate on our "four and no more" within our walls, and have no commitment to pray for others, the flow of the Holy Spirit is not moving as it should; therefore, the “move of God” in churches is slowly dying and as the body parts sometimes are amputated because of the bad blood flow, many times members of the body of Christ are also cutting themselves and dropping off the membership.

***PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER***

As I spent quality time seeking God in what area United Intercessors should focus on in prayer, He gave me this present message—Pray for one another and get the oil of the Holy Spirit flowing from member to member. Those prayers will release the blockages that are hindering the flow of the life of Christ needed to break forth into revival. Prophetic Ministries are part of the five-fold and carry the “now word” and are called to help point the body of Christ in the right direction so all can be victorious! Just as the arrow of the skilled archer is pointed in the exact right direction and hits the bull’s-eye, we are called to do the same in this hour. Therefore, in this new season one of the “now words” is to pray the prayers according to the book of Ephesians 1:17-23, and Ephesians 3:14-21 for one another. Why? Among the many reasons, one is—“that we might be filled with the fullness of God.” We are moving into another spiritual growth level and this is the hour that the church needs to come to the “fullness of Christ.”

***I CEASE NOT TO GIVE THANKS FOR YOU***

Paul began his prayer in Ephesians 1:15-16, by saying “Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.” Paul knew that by saying in these verses, “I cease not to give thanks for you and make mention of you in my prayers,” the purpose of his armour was made totally complete. It was very important that he wear a full armour. In order to fully meet that requirement, he was called to pray and cover the backs of the saints from the enemy. In order for you and me to become complete in the armour, we must also “pray for one another.” We are instructed in the above verse to give thanks for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Why? First of all, as you begin to sincerely thank God for that brother/sister, something supernatural begins to happen to your heart of prayer—a welling of love comes bursting into your very being from Him! You see, without true love for that “someone else,” our prayers for him/her are not as effective. Only the prayer of true love and compassion for that person can truly be heard by Him because He is a God of love. Love touches and moves the heart of God and Paul knew this important principle of love.

***SYMPTOM PRAYERS***

Then Paul continued to pray in that same chapter, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.” In simpler words, Paul was telling the saints, “Because of my love for you, I’m prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray constantly for you. I’m asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is and all that He has done for you.” Paul was not into praying “symptom prayers.” A symptom prayer feebly attempts to only pray away the outward manifestation of the visible wrong that person is doing, simply because of his lack of wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is. Paul knew that you had to go to the root cause of the wrong thinking, so that person could change and stay on the path of righteousness, following Christ. As we also pray that our brother/sister in Christ understands who Christ really is and all that He has done for them, then these prayers will begin to penetrate that person’s understanding. They will then freely desire to change their lifestyle because their hearts are being flooded with the light of Christ, and then they will see the wonderful, victorious future God has called them to share with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit deals with their heart and then, they will freely choose to do the will of God instead. A controlling prayer that infringes our will upon another’s may seem to change that person for a while, but that change usually doesn’t last. It was just a forceful, psychic prayer and that person soon returns back to his old way. If they are gossiping, fornicating, mistreating another, playing around in the world, taking advantage of you, not loving, or whatever the fault, whatever the sin, as we pray as Paul prayed, they will change. Soon, they will begin to understand that God was made rich because those that are Christ’s have been given and now belong to Him (God).

***PAUL’S EFFECTIVE PRAYER FOR THE SAINTS***

Now, further into the book of Ephesians 3:14 & 15, Paul said, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” Paul put himself on his knees in a posture of prayer and prayed for the body of Christ, “That He would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.” In other words, Paul is saying in his prayer, “When I think of the wisdom and scope of His plan for us, I fall down on my knees and pray to the Father of all, the great God, that out of His glorious unlimited resources He will give you the mighty inner strengthening of His Holy Spirit and I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within Him as you trust in Him. I pray that your roots may go down deep into the soil of God’s love, and I pray that you will understand how long, how wide, how deep and how high His love for you really is. My prayer is that you will experience this love for yourselves, yet it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. So at least you will be filled up with God himself and because of His mighty power at work, He is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of, infinitely beyond our highest prayers or what we may hope and all because of His master plan of salvation that brings us from Glory to Glory.”(LB) Church, as we begin to pray for one another as Paul taught us in Ephesians 1:17-23, Ephesians 3:14-21, I truly believe that a new glory will come into our personal lives, the lives of those we pray for and our churches. That NEW Glory will help our churches break out into a fresh and new anointing that is so desperately needed in this hour.

***OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT RELEASED***

Praying for one another” will remove the blockages of competitions, jealousies, hurts, unforgiveness, etc. and as we thank God for one another, true love will again begin to flow. The oil of the Holy Spirit will be released in an hour that the oil is needed. Last, but not least, Paul said in Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Here the emphasis is on, “Watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Paul was saying keep alert, watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints which are God’s holy people." Today the Holy Spirit calls out the same to us, watch, keep alert, and be interceding this year, 2009, on behalf of all the saints or simply, “pray for one another.” I’m asking each one of you to begin to pray for others you know on a daily basis the prayers of Ephesians 1:17, and Ephesians 3:14. I truly believe that we will please the heart of our Father and be tremendously blessed in our lives as we begin to do this. Praying in the unity of the faith pleases Jesus our Saviour who died for all of us.

***EXPLOSIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ACTIVATED AS WE PRAY***

I believe that as we pray, great explosions of the Holy Spirit such as miracles, breakthroughs, deliverance's, etc., will begin to come to the wonderful people of God. Don’t hesitate; don’t put off praying for your friends and family members. How long should you pray? However the Lord leads you personally to pray for that person or persons. I truly believe we will begin to see mighty breakthroughs. To God Be the Glory!
