Christians Prepare To Share Jesus At The ‘Largest Satanic Gathering In History’ In Boston

by Christel Berns April 25, 2023

Christians prepare to share the love of Jesus in the upcoming “largest Satanic gathering in history” in Boston.

Satanic Gathering & God’s Response

According to The Christian Post, Satanists will hold a large gathering in Boston on April 28-30. The “Witches Night in Boston” event is deemed the “largest satanic gathering in history.” This event was birthed following Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s decision not to allow “satanic invocations at city events.” The report said that thousands of Satanists would attend in protest.

Meanwhile, God has also been leading His people to pray for those that are caught in the enemy’s schemes. Intercessors For America (IFA) regional leader, Suzie MacAskill, received a revelation from God. He prompted her to change her prayers.

“I initially went to prayer with a preconceived idea that God would want this to be prayed away,” she explained to the outlet. “It was following this assumption that I was awakened through the night with a clear sense of ‘This is My harvest field.”

Then the IFA regional director remarked, “Since truly seeking God’s will for this event, and not coming with my own ideas, I believe I’ve been able to more clearly hear of His love for those who are lost and His strategy for praying for this event.”

Pray For Revival Among Satanists

As a result, the “half a million prayer warriors” of IFP have been praying not to stop the event “but instead pray for revival to break out” among the satanists.

She also revealed what God has been showing her amidst the circumstance.

“God is showing me that I need to repent of this,” she added. “And try instead to look at each individual and see them as lost, broken, wounded, seeking. And be the person who stands in the gap to cry out for their salvation.”

Further, IFA co-leader Lynn MacAskill also shared how other believers of Christ confirmed this revelation. She revealed that “several people [are] receiving words and visions about the angel armies surrounding Boston.”

SATANIST MEETS JESUS AFTER HIS MOM PRAYED FOR YEARS

Some also prayed that Christians “Repented, prayed and took communion right outside the satan-con venue.”
Lynn concluded, “Suzie and I have only just come to understand that God has been preparing us for this for some time. Which is very comforting as we get close to going into the battle zone in days.”

Christians Joining The Mission

Moreover, more Christians nationwide will join IFP. They are those believers prompted by the Lord to travel to Boston to minister during the satanic gathering.

“The Revive Boston conference is going on the same weekend as SatanCon,” Lynn said. “And they are doing evangelism teaching during it. And then planning to have multiple small teams go out into Boston on Saturday afternoon to evangelize.”

Suzie is elated about what God will do during the event.

“My personal sense is that God is doing something new, something powerful, something wonderful,” she remarked. “And He is calling His bride to unity as He does this. We are seeing intercessors and watchmen joining with us from all over Massachusetts, New England and this nation to see what the enemy intended for evil used by God for His good and mighty purposes.”

“We pray for a harvest of lost souls to take place as we have never seen before,” Suzie concluded.

Lynn also shared, “Many believers will be coming into Boston to pray and minister the love of Jesus to these lost souls. Hundreds of the army of God will meet with hundreds of Satanists. But we know we have an angelic army backing us up.”

How To Trust Your Process With God

by Lauren Koch March 25, 2022

written by Lauren Koch

Trusting in what God says about your life may feel like a risk, but who better knows how to protect, provide, or proser you? God who sees the beginning and the end yet sees you intimately. Though there are trials in your life and circumstances that may look like dead ends, hold onto the promise of the word of God over you: “but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:33

Still struggling to trust God?

Remind yourself of the promises He has already fulfilled to you. What are the things, people, or ways that the Lord has orchestrated faithfulness over your life already? Think on these. Make a list to remember just how kind or good He was in the past. Thank Him for His goodness and see your mind shift out of hesitancy into trust for your future together.

Since God made you, He knows how to best prepare you.

Remember, God knows the desires of your heart. He sees what you long for. You can trust the paths He leads you on. He is a Father and a shepherd to your soul, teaching you how to trust in the journey of relationship that you are on together. You cannot be led where He is not.

The more you say yes to trusting God’s direction for your life, the deeper you will know His peace. Your heart will become at ease as it grows familiar with the stable hand of your loving father, and just might grow in excitement as you anticipate what’s next.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you” Jesus tells the disciples in John 14. The Holy Spirit was sent to help us walk alongside God in our process. Invite Him closer today!

Prepare The Soil Of Your Heart To Receive The Word Of The Lord

by John Mathai August 31, 2021

written by John Mathai

Jesus used the illustration of different soils to illustrate the type of soil that bears a hundredfold fruit (Matt 13:3-8). Most of us neglect preparing our heart and therefore when we hear the seed of His word it does not remain long enough to produce fruit. We hear so many opinions and stories of breakthrough but fail to experience it ourselves. It always seems to happen to others and seldom to me. Could it be that it is the state of our heart that prevents or delays the fruit? Seed is sown to produce fruit. When what we sow does not produce fruit, we don’t blame the seed but the soil. The seed sown is good and so the fruit should be good.

Preparation

There are many reasons for delays but preparing the soil of our heart is vital to producing a bountiful crop of fruit. I know from my own experience that when I had prepared the soil and fertilised it, the fruit from my lemon tree and mandarin tree had multiplied this year. I need to constantly tend to the garden of my heart so that I am always bearing fruit. Most of us listen to a lot of sermons and attend conferences and are blessed by the word preached. However the initial blessing does not appear to last. Could this be because our heart has responded but failed to sustain the word sown. Either the devil was able to steal the word or we have allowed the cares of the world to rob us of our initial joy.

Ways

The way we prepare the soil of our heart is to daily walk in repentance and forgiveness. Taking holy communion daily is a good way to prepare our hearts. In the communion we daily acknowledge our own sinfulness and ask for cleansing and forgiveness. The blood of Jesus cleanses us like nothing else. He paid the price and now we can walk in His righteousness. In this way we are always conscious of our position in Christ as a redeemed son of God. We now can receive His word of power to bear good fruit. We begin to exercise by faith His love, joy and peace and all the other fruits of the Spirit. This is the only way to bear a hundredfold fruit for others to enjoy.

Preparing To Build

by Brian Taylor August 4, 2020

written by Brian Taylor

I believe God is preparing a people counting the cost of building. After you’ve counted the cost, you must also consider the ground where you intend to do your building. You’re not always guaranteed that the place where you intend to build will be a place where the ground is ready for you. This requires a survey of the land. You have to look it over for size, scope, stability, and more. Depending on where and what you’re building, it may require a deep dive into things that are not readily visible to the natural eye.

Building A Solid Foundation

You may find yourself having to speak to experts on the land, both from the government and from those who are developers. They can tell you things about the place you wish to build on that you might not have even thought of. Depending on what you are building, it may require that you excavate the land. Excavation prepares the ground by digging, dredging, or removing to create a safe place for building. Things often hide in the soil. If you don’t properly prepare the ground where you wish to build, then anything you attempt to build is susceptible to a weak foundation. Ask yourself, with what you are building, have you fully prepared the ground so that when you set to build it, it can stand?

Jesus conveys the message of the difference between a strong Christian and a weak Christian by using the example of a house being built (Matthew 7:24-27). In this parable, he notes that the one who hears the Word and acts upon it is like a house that is built upon a stable foundation. That foundation provides the structure with the ability to withstand winds and waves and remain standing. However, a person that does not hear or act upon the Word is like a house that was built upon sand. This is a shifting ground that will not support the house when the winds and waves come.

God Has Called You To Build

Whatever it is that God has called you to build, now is the time to hear God. Prepare your ground in such a way that you are well prepared to weather any storm. What resources do you need to be in place? What is your strategy for steady progress and growth? Have you considered any obstacle that might impede you?

When Nehemiah desired to build the walls of Jerusalem, he faced much opposition from his own people. Yet, he did not allow their fear and their cries to deter him. He set up people on the building project to prepare for whatever may come. This came in the form of having men with a building tool in one hand, and an instrument for fighting in the other (see Nehemiah Chapter 4).

Sometimes, everyone won’t celebrate the very thing that God says is His plan for you to build. Yet, you must be willing to build, believing that God will see you through the process. Be ready to fight for it, if necessary. There may come a time when some will assault you with lies or false rumors. Don’t let naysayers turn you away from what God said you should do. Have your heart tuned to God’s frequency to hear only Him. Let naysayers beware and watch your progress. In the end, only God’s will should be what you are concerned with. He will get the glory when you follow His leading. Stay on target and complete what He said. Now is the time for building. So, prepare and build.

Is Your Faith Rock-Solid?

by Henrietta Decruz July 28, 2020

written by Henrietta Decruz

The unimaginable happened at the beginning of 2020. World-systems came to a halt. As believers, we know our God is our Protector, Healer, and Provider. No matter what happens, we are covered by our God. The Israelites in Goshen did not suffer seven out of the ten plagues of Egypt. Similarly, the blood of Jesus covers and protects us. The question is, “Do we have rock-solid faith?’

Jesus said in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.”

Warnings in the Word

Jesus warned us about perilous times. In Matthew 24:7-8 He said, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place; All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish].” Jesus calls it the beginning of the birth pangs. We have already seen these signs.

There are many more signs that are visible to discerning believers who study the Word of God. God shared these secrets for a reason. He wants to prepare us, so we can face the situations ahead. He has shared prophecy after prophecy and revelations so that His children won’t be caught unaware.

Make your Faith rock-solid

Proverbs 24:10 says, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.” We need to strengthen our faith muscles and buckle up. This is not a time to take things lightly. Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).” We need to fill ourselves with His Word and strengthen our faith so it is rock-solid.

We are going to see more unimaginable things. Matthew 24:29 says, “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” God is preparing us. Just like we could never imagine how the world would come to a standstill and it really happened, these things that we cannot imagine now will happen someday in reality. Matthew 24:35 says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” So, we need to buckle up and get ready for the time that is coming.

Obey God’s Word and Be Safe

Jesus said in Luke 6:47-49, “For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words [in order to heed their teaching] and does them, I will show you what he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it because it had been securely built or founded on a rock. But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house were great.”

We need to take the Word of God seriously so we can tide through these difficult times. If we scoff at the prophecies, we stand to lose everything, even our soul. Jesus wants us to be like the five wise virgins who were prepared with oil and ready. Be ready. We will suffer. Those who hate Jesus will hate us. Let us run our race such that we can overcome and receive a crown that will last forever. Become rock-solid.

The Preparation For The Building Process

by Brian Taylor July 13, 2020

written by Brian Taylor

From the conclusion of 2019 until now, God emphasized to me of the significance of this year and the decade that we’ve entered into. Part of what He shared with me is how we entered a season in which many are called to the building process. Some people are called to build families, some businesses, some their communities, and some called to build ministries.

Upon entering the year 2020, it almost seemed like the call to build must have been a joke. All life halted in March as people all over the world were confronting shutdowns of all kinds. Work, for many, ceased and it left many challenged by how they would proceed with life as they had come to know it. How do you build in a time when a world has been put in time out? Where do you begin when you don’t even know when life will ever be the same?

The Building Process

The reality in life is that no matter who you are, you don’t just start building the moment you have an idea to build. There is a process that must be followed. In construction, there are things like the drawing up of blueprints, budgets to be assessed, sites to survey, and permits that must be obtained. In the book of Luke, Jesus poses the question to those listening to him speaking, saying “which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down to count up the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?” (Luke 14:28)

It’s my belief that this downtime was a strategic moment where God allowed many to first count up the cost for what He has called them to build. Whether it is a business, a ministry, a family, or any other thing that He placed upon the individual’s heart. God created downtime for processing and analysis. I’ve often mentioned that even in discipleship, there is a cost associated with it. Many people have been given an opportunity. They are to assess whether they have counted the cost of living in a relationship with God.

Eternally Minded

It is true that Jesus paid the price for our salvation from sin and the grave. But the cost of discipleship is not cheap. It is costly, but the rewards are astronomical. The challenge for many is that they cannot see the eternal value. They are too heavily focused on immediate obstacles, weaknesses, or threats. And that makes a full commitment difficult. In Jesus’ own process of building a people who would carry on the ministry known as the Ekklesia, he shared with one of them that following him would not come easy. He said in Luke 9:58 that “foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”

Another man spoke up and said that he wanted to follow but he wanted to go bury his father first. Jesus pointed out to this man the reality of his commitment to following Him. A third man wanted to return home first to say goodbye to his family. These last two, are in essence in a place of mourning their past or what they are giving up. Jesus tells them that those who look back are not fit for the Kingdom. The nation and much of the world started the process of “opening back up”. And it is expedient that you’ve counted the cost of those things that you are building. Finally, as you count the cost, you are setting yourself up for building with peace of mind and confidence.

Prepare Your Heart For The Harvest

by Brian Taylor January 23, 2019

written by Brian Taylor

I continue to mull over the word of the Lord about this year and what has been said. If you have not read my post “It’s Time to Plow Through in This New Year”, I implore you to check that out also. As I’ve been meditating further, I’ve heard confirming words being spoken by many other prophetic voices on the exact same thing. It has stirred within me something for the days and weeks ahead. As we move closer to February, there can be no doubt that many people will start to think about Valentine’s Day and the ones whom they love. This is a good thing because your heart is exactly the focus where God is calling many to focus their attention.

Your Heart is Soil:

If we are to be in a mode of preparation for a harvest of souls or any harvest that God would have for us, our hearts must be prepared. Jesus spoke to his followers about the power of a seed in Mark chapter 4. It speaks of a farmer who went out to sow seed, and the types of ground where the seed fell. He says that some fell upon rocky or stony ground. Some fell among thorns. Lastly, he mentions how some fell on good soil. Jesus’ emphasis on bringing this forth to his followers is to remind them of the heart that they need to have in receiving God’s word.

Our hearts are soil which must be pliable and ready to receive the word of God if we are to produce an expectant harvest. Our harvest is dependent upon the readiness of our hearts to receive what God is wanting to put in us so that we can manifest the harvest He desires to bring forth.

Tilling the Soil:

While plowing through into this year, I began to look at the method that a farmer uses to prepare the soil for what they planned to plant. What I discovered was that in modern agriculture, the farmer uses plows that dig deep straight rows, occasionally glancing back to be sure the rows are straight and that there is nothing that would block or knock them off track. The plowing of the soil serves a two-fold purpose. One, it loosens the soil so that it can be made into a seed bed. Two, it buries previous crop residue and weeds in the process.

As Christians, our hearts can periodically become tough or resistant to the “new” or the “now” thing that God is desiring to bring forth in our lives, because we’ve become accustomed to how things are. We’ve learned a particular way of God and make a tradition, doctrine, or habit out of it. God is always wanting to do a new thing – a fresh thing – a greater thing. If our hearts cannot receive the seed of God’s “now” word, our effectiveness will be no better than the sower who threw seed among the stony or thorny ground. Either we will invite the enemy of our soul to come and take away that powerful seed from us; or the word fails to take root because we dealt with it at a surface level. While it looked good in the beginning, the harvest is short-lived because the seed wasn’t deep enough within us to take root.

What Tilling Looks Like in Our Heart:

Whenever God is about to do something of great substance, He will often instruct His chosen vessel to consecrate themselves or tell the whole nation to consecrate themselves. The Strong’s Concordance says that the Hebrew word for consecration, “qadash”, essentially translates to “prepare, set apart, dedicate, honor, purify, or to treat as holy”. We are told by Paul the apostle that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we are to be renewed to the things of God, not the carnal ways of this world. This comes through understanding God’s word, meditating upon it, allowing the Holy Spirit to cultivate God’s character and nature within us.

When we make our heart pliable for receiving what He wants to produce within us, we position ourselves for producing and manifesting what God desires to see come forth from us. Let this time be a time in which you are specifically focused on your heart, rooting out the weeds and the residue of the past harvests that might get in the way of what God wants for this “now season”. Let this be a time in which your heart begins to receive the seeds of faith for God’s character, evidenced through the fruit of the spirit; especially love. We are told the world will know us by the love we show, not just to one another, but the world as a whole.

A true harvest is awaiting the evidence of a love that knows no bounds. Love is ultimately a sacrifice of self. It is the giving up of what I want for what God wants. When our hearts become tender enough to receive this truth, pay close attention to what God is able bring forth from that love that is deeply rooted within.
