Dear Leaders:
On Thursday, Indiana had a bit of shaking which was felt in six surrounding states. One crack in the ground in Tipton County was measured at being 3 miles underground, and it was only a 3.8 on the Richter scale
earthquake. Enough to ask the Lord, “What are you saying to us?” He tells us in Hebrews 12:26, “….’ Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.’” “Now this, ‘Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” Vs. 27 Jesus warned His disciple, Peter saying, “Satan hath desired to have you, but I have prayed that your faith fail not.” Peter didn’t believe it, he was sure
he could handle anything, but Peter was shaken. He denied the Lord after stating there was no way that he would deny Him. Peter’s assurance of his own faith was a bit SHAKEN.
Sifting, shaking, sanctifying all have a good purpose behind them and that is to cleanse, purify, remold, reshape His Bride to be. It’s best to simply yield and let God have His way! It’s all for our good! Even Jesus “for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame….NOW raised up and sits at the Right Hand of the Father in heaven!
You might say, God is grooming His Bride to reflect the image of His Son, “bringing many sons into glory!” The year 2010 has been a year of sifting and sanctifying His people! Look at the heroes of faith who were groomed in what we would consider less than ideal circumstances: Moses groomed in Pharoah’s court; Esther in the hidden place of her uncle’s oversight, then in the court of the king; Joshua groomed under Moses and in the Tabernacle; David was groomed on the hillside and in the caves; Daniel groomed in Hebrew schools and then in the court of the kings. Joseph was groomed in a foreign land and in prison; Paul groomed in the Temple and under the tutorage of Rabbis, then in the desert; James, John, Peter and Andrew were groomed under their fathers watchful eyes on the seas and in the marketplace. Timothy was groomed by his mother and grandmother’s training’ Jesus learned obedience by the things with which He suffered. God has been grooming His Warrior Bride.
12 days Fasting & Praying to Shift, Divinely Align and to Become Whole:
Begin January 1 or choose any 12 days in sequence in January; 12 being the number for government and dominion! In Ephesians 4:12, it is written speaking of the 5-fold ministry gifts, “for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry….” The word “equipping” is the same word from its root form used for what a chiropractor does in adjusting or bringing the frame or spine of a person back into alignment. It’s a SNAPPING back into place in which it is not unusual for the person to experience some pain with the action. But afterwards, it is wonderful and strengthening.
God’s correction also is not pleasant, as it is written, “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS, and scourges every son whom He receives.” Hebrews 12:7-8 “Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful, nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Many have experienced the training, chastening hand of the Lord this year. It’s all been for our good, though not exactly what you would consider JOYFUL! This is a real key in breaking the evil fruit of rebellion and lawlessness out of our lives. WE HAVE BEEN BEING GROOMED FOR THE THRONE, in order that the King might stretch forth His scepter to us and invite us to come into His Presence! What a loving Father, and thereby we won’t have to BE SHAKEN, because we have SHIFTED into the place He has had for us.
The FIRST FRUITS’ GATHERING OF 2011 – Saturday, January 8. Alignment brings Wholeness and Strength!
This gathering will be held at New Wineskin Ministries, Internat’l, 4501 W. 38th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46254. The time is 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Prophetic
Worship Leader, Dalene Smoot will be leading us in PRAISES to our KING!
Two things we will do: PRAY for the SHIFTING without the SHAKING! There have been a number of people who have had dreams of devastating earthquakes or bombs hitting a major portion of our state. It’s important that we pray trusting God that through our prayers, situations and people will change thereby avoiding
the chastening hand of God and the destruction the enemy has planned for us. We will also PRAY for Divine Health and Wholeness for the Body of Christ! There will be prayer for those needing healing! There will be anointing and laying on of hands by skilled and trained ministers!
Miraculously, our new state cornerstone was dedicated on December 8th during the Feast of Dedication and on Rosh Kodesh. The Lord spoke and said as we have
persevered in seeing this accomplished, it has opened the way for the release of miracles throughout our land. Believe and Receive.
PRAYER TARGETS for the 12 days of fasting & praying for Shifting, Shaking and Aligning:
DAY 1: Seek the Lord for your own life asking the Lord is there any place where I am not properly aligned. Help me make the adjustment or receive it! Ask Him
what do I need to do? PRAY Romans 12:1-2 for yourself.
DAY 2 : Pray for your immediate family. Release pardon and forgiveness to those who seem stuck or who have been refusing change. Pray they yield; pray
Isaiah 1:19 for God to give them “willing and obedient hearts, minds and lives.” Pray they will choose to “go easy,” and not to “go hard,” for either way,
they will go! It doesn’t have to be hard when there is a willingness to yield to the Lord. Pray for their healing spirit, soul and body. Pray Ephesians 1:17-19
for them.
DAY 3 : Pray for the Church of Indiana. Pray the Church shift where needed into God’s government. Pray Ephesians 4:11. Pray John 16:13 for your local
Church leaders. Pray for God’s chosen, anointed and appointed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to work together forming
a strong, unified and skillful HAND that is able to deliver the PUNCH needed against the enemies of God’s people and His work! Pray that God raise
up mature, committed, loyal, trustworthy intercessors who will faithfully stand in the gap for these leaders. Ask the Lord to assign you to the leader or
leaders that He would have you pray for.
DAY 4: Pray for our local, state and national governments. Pray THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE! Pray for divine alignment of the five-fold ministry
Gifts; pray each office accept the other offices and flow as one. Declare SHIFT into God’s government; DECLARE Isaiah 9:6-7. Pray for righteous rulers.
It’s time to pray BULLDOZER prayers that move long-standing resistance and stubbornness out of the way so God doesn’t have to visit indiana with
a MAJOR EARTHQUAKE or another form of judgment.
DAY 5: Today, declare WAKE UP; Blow your shofars, releasing an AWAKENING CALL into the atmosphere that will penetrate the hearts and minds
Pray for the Deborahs to arise and call to the Baraks, the leaders/commanders of God’s defense forces; although seemingly weak and without an
adequate number of people, yet strong in resolve and belief in God. Judges 5:8 records there was “not a shield or spear …seen among forty thousand
in Israel,” while “Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron….” Judges 4:13 In faith, Deborah arose, as a “mother in Israel,”
for “village life (had) ceased in Israel.” She spoke a familiar battle cry to Barak, ARISE, a call to go to war, and he responded willingly.
Pray for men and women to honor and recognize one another’s gifts and call, and willingly submit to working together for the purpose of God’s
Kingdom.
DAY 6: We are at the halfway point. PRAY for RENEWED STRENGTH. Encourage yourself in the Lord; make faith declarations such as: I am” strong in the
Lord and in the power of His might.” Declare you are “more than a conqueror, in Christ Jesus,” and that He “always causes you to triumph in Christ
Jesus.” TODAY take a double dose of God’s Word. Ask the Lord to give you scriptures that relate to your need or problem; declare these words all
day out loud! Call someone and pray the Word over them. Respond to Jude 20 for yourself!
DAY 7: Speak to your mountains. Mark 11:22-26, include repentance and forgiveness. Declare your belief in God’s Word. Break the power of postponement,
call forth the manifestation of God’s promises. Ask the Lord if there is someone you need to forgive and do it. Ask Him if you are holding any longstanding
grudges or ought in heart towards anyone. Release them; it could be from a long time ago and you have consciously forgotten it. FORGIVE YOURSELF and
RECEIVE GOD’S FORGIVENESS FOR YOURSELF.
DAY 8: Eight is the number for new beginnings – SHOUT & SING PRAISES TO GOD! Be exuberant with your praises and thanksgiving offerings to Him; indeed
He is worthy! Read aloud Revelations 5:12-13 “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain…..” Consecrate your gifts, time and talents unto Him. Pray for
Dreams and visions and the ability to interpret them. TODAY, as an ACT OF FAITH, SOW A SEED and name it! To give to the IN Apostolic Prayer Network
make your check out to: IN SPN and send to P.O. Box 302, Ellettsville, IN 47429, send your prayer requests along with it.
DAY 9: Today Pray Psalms 91 over yourself, your loved ones, friends, associates, a leader in the Church. Pray for a leader in the Church, Government, Family,
Media, Arts & Entertainment, Education and Business. Invoke the standing orders of God in Psalms 91:9-12 and ask for His angelic hosts to surround you
Your family, your boss, a church leader. In response to God’s Word, angels have now gone into action. Psalms 103:20 Declare there are more with us
than those who are with the enemy.
DAY 10: Repent of any unbelief or lack of taking responsibility for any area. Ask Holy Spirit’s assistance to change. Pray Psalms 133, Ephesians 4:3, John 17:
11-23, Ephesians 1:7-8. Repent of any pride of denomination, ask God to cleanse you and your denomination. Ask the Lord to forgive you for any
Divisivness, competition and jealousy, and to restore our souls. Receive communion today!
DAY 11: The 11th hour or sometimes known as the hour before judgement, or last minute call to repent and turn! Pray for the Body of Christ to have “ears to
hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.” Let His sweet Holy Spirit saturate us with anointing oil that we might be “tender-hearted, loving and kind,
forgiving others as God in Christ has forgiven us.” Ephesians 4:32 Read and pray Ephesians 4:22-32.
DAY 12: Declare you are a finisher through Christ’s strength and help. Read and pray Hebrews 12:1&2. Pray for someone today who is struggling, possibly weak
In faith due to a long and hard battle. Pray Psalms 3 over them. Pray for them and for yourself to PRAY, PERSEVERE AND PUSH through to victory!
Seen in a magazine article with the heading, “DON’T GIVE UP! YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE IN THE MAKING!” Remind yourself that God doesn’t make
Junk nor create Failures; we all fail, but are not failures. You are a success; you are His Child created for His good plans, Jeremiah 29:11. Declare that
You choose what He, “in His book has already written, has already shaped before any of your days existed.” Psalms 139:16. You are fearfully and wonder-
fully made. God bless you as you move more and more into HIS GOOD PLANS!
I release two powerful words over you: Psalms 115: 14&15, “May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. May you be blessed
by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord
lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:24-27
According to an ancient Hebrew scholar, the characters of the language in Numbers 6:24-26 correspond with those in Song of Solomon 3:7&8 and thereby, when you release the Aaronic blessing over someone, you are also releasing 60 warrior angels to stand guard over them protecting them from the terror of the night.
So be blessed as you rest in the goodness of our God in 2011-5771.
Send us your testimonies as things breakthrough on your behalf. We wish you the very best for this entire year! May His love surround you, His power protect you and He grant you great wisdom and discernment.
In His wonderful grace,
Sallye Burton, Apostolic Coordinator
