I believe we have overlooked and underestimated the awesome power that is hidden in the family of God. There is something about the family's atmosphere that generates the power focus to subdue the earth and bring His Kingdom into the affairs of this world. I believe satan feared the seed of the woman--for it would have the power to destroy him. He well knew that even our children would contend with him in the gate (see Psalm 127:5) I believe this is why the Lord's desire has always been to "set the solitary ( widows, orphans, and the fatherless) in families as a picture of His own desire for a family." (Psalm 68:6)
Now, through the blood and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, His burial and resurrection , by faith we have been placed in a new family...THE FAMILY OF GOD.
Could it be, ever since the garden of Eden, that the enemy well knows that the family of God holds the hidden power to destroy his kingdom and deliver whole nations? Is it any wonder why he unleashes hell upon the body of Christ? He wants us divided not united. Divided he conquerors, unity God wins. Satan may have power to deceive, but we have the truth and the authority in the name of Jesus to put satan under His feet. Ephesians 1:22
Jesus commissioned the church to go forth and disciple all nations. It is my prayer that we do just that. If we can't disciple America, how an we reach the world?
It is my prayer that the Name of Jesus be lifted up in America and that all men be drawn unto Him. This nations fought many wars with the blood of men. Now it it time TO WIN THIS NATION WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. God loves America. Do we?
"Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in all the earth!" Psalm 46:10

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
One of the first things that the enemy does when he attacks a nation or a people, is to close the churches. Satan HATES churches. Every church on this earth, even a so-called "dead" one, is a sign, and symbol to him of the Living God. He hates anything that reminds him of God because he knows his fate. He seeks to destroy the works of God every chance that he gets.
If Satan cannot use the Communists to close the churches like he has in many, many nations, then he will use other methods. He will use the laws of taxation.
Only the prayers are keeping the churches of our nation from being taxed now. But the devil is causing the money-hungry men to look with eyes of greed upon the churches, the institutions which God's people have built for His glory. Satan covets their money and would like to use them for his own cause.
Satan will also use compromising shepherds and the indifference and lukewarmness of the people to take over the churches for warehouses, etc. He would like them to just stand empty and be falling apart because of disuse. Whether by disuse or misuse, he seeks to destroy all churches and keep them from being houses of worship.
Our heritage as a nation is our churches.We were birthed out of a religious persecution seeking a new land to worship the ONE TRUE GOD. Now we have become a nation of many gods. We must guard our liberty and freedom and integrity. Let us not be deceived. We must be awake to the enemies intention against the church. Satan has a plan to abolished every church in every nation. But the GOOD NEWS is God's PLAN IS GREATER! He is building His church with living stones, brick upon brick. The true church may be hidden from view today, but it is growing more and more powerful in every nation all of the time. The Holy Spirit is continuously setting us apart to Christ alone.
We do not need a building to worship, we are a temple, individually and collectively, and as we gather together, it is the Spirit of worship that draws us to our God and one another.. Wherever two or three are gathered together in His Name, the Lord is right in our midst.
This is not a day to be asleep, wandering around in the world trying to find yourself. If we are a true born again believer, we have already been found and the Lord is setting us apart for His glory. Amazing days are ahead for those whose God is the Lord Jesus Christ. When the days get darker and His judgement more evident, by the grace of God He will hide us in the cleft of the rock and care for His own. His care for us will be sufficient for us to reach out and supernaturally care for others in need. I have read the back of the book and we win!!!! OUR GOD IS A GREAT GOD AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED.

The Voice of Condemnation
Have you ever thought that condemnation has a VOICE and it isn't yours? The thoughts may really be the VOICE of the accuser of the brethren, Satan himself who stands before God with all kinds of lies and accusation? You might have thought in your mind like, you are unfit for the Kingdom and useless as a person. Your character is under attack. It will say things like," you are a failure, you are stupid, you are a loser, you can't do anything right. And you call yourself a Christian!" The list goes on and on. Whose voice is it?
It is Satan's voice. It is NOT the voice of our Lord Jesus, who came to destroy the works of the devil and to set us free from the power of sin. You can always tell a voice of condemnation because it is very vague and not specific. You will just feel guilty, dirty, ashamed, unclean and unwanted. It will lie to you that you can't possibly be a a new creation in Christ and that you have been cleaned by the blood of Jesus. Satan is a LIAR. If you are in Christ, you are NOT condemned. We can confess our sin and God is faithful to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We are NOT accused. The blood of Jesus delivers us out of condemnation. Renounce the lie, submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee. (James 4:7)
The VOICE of conviction is the VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT. He will not attack your character or make you feel dirty or guilty. He will be very SPECIFIC with His corrections. For instance, perhaps, I spoke unkindly to my husband or a friend. I will feel convicted and need to repent. I will even want to ask them for forgiveness for my behavior and God will change my heart. The Holy spirit is more interested in our heart than accusing us. John 16:10 says, "The Holy Spirit convict us of righteousness ". It is like the Lord says to us, "My son, my daughter, I am leading you into the path of righteousness for My Name sake. You are now learning My righteous ways, follow me. "
The VOICE in the Garden with Adam and Eve is still the same VOICE today. Satan is alive and well today and loves to keep us under condemnation.. The world is fallen and Satan, the father of lies is trying to keep us in chains of condemnation as long as we believe his lies. That is why the Lord is crying to the church today,' COME OUT, COME OUT OF THE WORLD, AND BE SET APART TO ME AND I WILL KEEP YOU FROM CONDEMNATION AND YOU WILL GROW TO KNOW ME IN MY RESURRECTION POWER. YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, BUT NOT OF IT!"
When you are convicted, you will never feel condemned. The Holy Spirit will speak the truth in love and you will repent and turn to Him. You don't have to live another day under condemnation. Shut the door in the face of the devil and turn to the Lord. He will keep you safe with Him all the days of your life, until you see Him face to face. Psalm 91

The Power of Agreement
Jesus in Matthew 18:19-20 has encouraged us saying, "If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in MY NAME, there I am among them." The POWER OF AGREEMENT is a very important reality to remember when we pray according to the Word of God. Satan will try to bring division and confusion, seeking to hinder our faith, quenching the Holy Spirit from succeeding to accomplish His work through us.
It is an age old Satanic scheme to take control of the world, by the POWER OF AGREEMENT. The devil knows, if he can get man together to agree about anything against God, that he will be able to take authority and rule away from God . Satan has the power to deceive man, but he has no authority to rule over man. He is totally deceived.
This is very serious. We believers need to know that Satan is still attempting to build his tower of babel through man's ignorance of his deceptions. Look at the occult groups , the cults and the New Age movement. Their whole power base is the power of agreement. Satan is a master of deceit. As believers, we can understand why our Lord is calling us out of this world's corrupt system. It is evil, and our Lord wants us in a safe place hidden in Him, when judgement comes.
Nothing is new under the sun. As we read through the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11), Satan is exposed in his attempt to unite the people by the power of agreement for himself. Fallen man did not know that Satan was behind this move to build the tower. God had no choice but to scatter the people. "Now they said to each other, 'Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly' They used brick instead of stone and tar for mortar. Then they said, 'come, let us, build ourselves a city, with a tower that REACHES the heavens, so that we may MAKE A NAME for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.' But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, 'Behold, they are ONE PEOPLE, and they have all one language, and this is ONLY the beginning of what they will do, and NOTHING THEY PURPOSE TO DO WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.' " You know the rest of the story.
Satan's scheme to glorify himself had to be foiled. If he had succeeded, the Lord knew that there would be nothing that man purposed to do, that he couldn't accomplish. Man would be as God. Satan would be in control of the whole earth through man.
There is only ONE NAME that WILL BE exalted on the earth. His name is Jesus Christ. Proverb 18:10 says, "THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER AND THE RIGHTEOUS RUN INTO IT AND ARE SAFE. God's intervention that brought down the Tower of Babel preserved the earth for His Son's redemption. God looked down the corridors of time, saw you and I and nothng was going to stop His love from redeeming us.
We may have to go through some hard times, but hard times will only refine our faith. But the Lord will protect us from the evil one. I truly believe Satan is already being confronted, as we have started to pray in ONE ACCORD by the POWER of the Holy Spirit. Through prayer alone, the Lord is accomplishing His will, as we continue to come together in ONE ACCORD. There will be NOTHING that the Holy Spirit can not do through us to glorify Jesus. Daniel 11:32 "Those who know their God will do great exploits." The power of agreement is RESERVED only for the body of Christ.
I have been greatly encouraged, witnessing many prayer groups and prayer cells developing all across the country. We are coming together as the body of Christ praying for America. God is at work and will save Amercia from the shemes of the evil one, if we will continue to pray. He will do it. There is ONLY one God reigning over America and His name is Jesus Christ and He is the only way into the Throne of Heaven.
