Arrows of God: Dry Bones Shall Rise Again

























See Links:

  • 18-year-old Teenager, Joao Gomes, was stabbed and killed on the steps of a Hindu temple in Enfield after violence flared at Enfield party advertised on Snapchat on Saturday 13/05/2017.
  • A 56-year-old resident said: “It was an under 18s party and everyone sounded like they were having a good time until I heard screams.  “The kids were out of control and it was absolute chaos. There were no adults anywhere until police turned up but there still wasn’t enough to control them. One told him: “I was in a rave and then youths kicked off, innit.”
  •  “Kids kept running under the police tape, some were filming it and others were laughing and joking.”
  • The killing came six hours after Brenton Roper, 41, was chased, shot and stabbed to death in a daylight “hit” yards from his home in Bow, east London.
  • The two deaths bring the total number of people killed on London’s streets to 13 in the past three weeks.
  • A supermarket in Kensington was evacuated after a man in his 20s slashed his leg during a fight at 3pm yesterday. Armed police arrested a man and woman seen driving away from the West Cromwell Road branch of Tesco on suspicion of attempted murder, but they were released without charge shortly afterwards. The casualty is fighting for life in hospital.
  • In New Addington, police recovered a Samurai sword after a 17-year-old was stabbed during a knife-fight on a route 64 bus at 2pm on Friday.
  • A man in his 20s was stabbed in the head following a brawl outside a Tesco in Southbury Road, Enfield, at 2pm yesterday. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
  • Our “Churched” children are not exempt; what plagues the youth in the world plagues the youth in our churches.  

John 11:21
“Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.”

  • The situation of our youth is a grave, grave, grave situation.
  • The nation of our youth is dead; they have been buried and the carcass is rotten and is smelling.
  • The state of our youth is valley of dry, dry, dry bones.
  • Bones which have been stripped of all flesh by the vultures of the devil, vultures of the world and its systems.
  • Bones stripped bare by pornography, sexual perversion of every kind, gang culture, drug culture, money, fame, pursuit of pleasure, hedonistic lifestyle, ambition, crime; just name it and our children from church, from discipleship family are not exempt.
  • This death has come because “The Lord was not here, because the Lord delayed.”
  • The death and decadence came upon us because the Lord has not shown up; because the Lord had held back.
  • Like Martha and Mary, we have reached the end; a hopeless, helpless situation.
  • We are in despair, we have prayed and it seems our prayers are not being answered; we have sown, we have reaped the wind, we have fasted but there is no result.
  • Like Ezekiel, we look at the bones and all we can say when the Lord asks, “Can these bones live?” is ...thou knowest…

John 11: 25-26
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

  • The resurrection and the life is here. He is here. He said to us that He is here and ready to open the graves of our youth.
  • If He is here, where is He?  If He is here, what is stopping Him from calling our youth forth out of their graves?
  • What is hindering Him and making Him to stand in one spot? … “Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.” (John 11:30)
  • One of the hindrances is unbelief. The unbelief in Martha made the resurrection and the life to stand still.
  • Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12)
  • To believe means to accept that (something) is true, especially without proof.

Prayer Points
  • Rid me of an evil heart of unbelief.
  •  Lord I believe, help my unbelief.
  • Begone unbelief, my Saviour is near.

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nationI the Lord will hasten it in his time (Isaiah 60:22)

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts (Zachariah 4:6)

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lordbe it unto me according to thy wordAnd the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:23-38)

Believest thou this? YES, WE BELIEVE.


2 Corinthians 2:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Dry bones shall rise again, dry bones shall rise again,
Dry bones shall rise again, dry bones shall rise again;
God, Jehovah, He is able to do all things,
He’s able able, dry bones shall rise again.

Prayer Points

Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. (Ezekiel 37:4)

  • Prophesy unto the dried-up bones of our youth; prophesy unto them.
  • Our youth, hear the word of the Lord, online, offline, on all forms of social media; let this bring about heartfelt repentance and sorrow over sin.
  • Our youth, hear the Mystery of the Gospel and let Him swallow up the mystery of iniquity that has ravaged you.
  • Call forth our youth out of the various graves that they are in.
  • Our youth who are in the grave, the resurrection and the life is here, come out. Come forth in the name of Jesus.
  • Our youth, receive the breath of God, the life of God, in the name of Jesus.
  • Let there be a shaking, a noise in this valley of bones called youth.
  • Prophesy unto these bones; let them come to together bone to bone, no mistake, no erroneous doctrine again. Let the correct, full, unadulterated gospel bring the bones of our youth together again.
  • We prophesy, let flesh, sinew be put upon you again; let seared consciences come alive again; let reprobate minds be quickened to be able to judge between right and wrong again.
  • We prophesy fresh skin to cover your nakedness; let shamefacedness, modesty, restrain, be restored in our youth.
  • Dear Holy Spirit, please move; breath upon them the breath of life. Let our slain youth Live in the name of Jesus.

Joel 2:7-11
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?


  • LET OUR YOUTH ARISE AS THIS GREAT ARMY THAT WILL NOT BREAK THEIR RANKS, THAT WILL USHER IN THE REVIVAL, THE COMING OF THE LORD THAT WE ARE WAITING FOR.

Arrows of God: Our Children

























John 2:12-14

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning.I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Little Children (0-12) 

  • Little children must know the Father. They must know who the Father is, His love, power, creation, personality, judgement, holiness and purity. They must know Him as their own father independent of their parents and guardians. 
  • Little children must know that their sins are forgiven for Jesus’ sake. They must know their sin, the inability of their lives to please God, the enmity of their lives towards God, the consequences of their sin and the way out provided through Christ.

Samuel the Child

1 Samuel 2: 11, 18, 26
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.

1 Samuel 3:7, 19
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground

1 Samuel 3:7
  • Samuel did not yet know the Lord. The Lord had not spoken directly to him yet. (ICB)
  • The Lord called Samuel again. The boy did not know that it was the Lord, because the Lord had never spoken to him before. (GNT)
  • This all happened before Samuel knew God for himself. It was before the revelation of God had been given to him personally. (MSG)
  • Samuel did not recognise the voice of the Eternal One, for the word of the Eternal had not been revealed to Samuel yet. So Samuel went back again to his bed. (VOICE) 

Prayers for Our Little Children
  • Lord, please speak directly to our young children.
  • Lord, please reveal Yourself to them personally.
  • Open their ears to recognise Your voice.
  • Call them by their very name as You called Samuel.
  • During their quiet time, please Lord, speak to them clearly and let them come to us and say, “The Lord said this to me.”
  • In their sleep, Lord, speak to them; in their quite moments, in the house, at school, among friends, please Lord, speak to them. Let them go to their Elis for clarification.
  • Show them who you are, the magnanimous, loving Father, the powerful, righteous judge of the whole earth, who will not allow sin to go unpunished.
  • Show them in their own language, the way out through the blood of your cross. Show them that their sins are forgiven and that they have been made new.
  • Let these truths be indoctrinated, established, programmed into them, written upon them even at this young age, in the name of Jesus.

Teenagers and Youth (13-35?) 
  • Teenagers and youth must be strong. They must be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might to win the battle for their lives. They must know the victory of the cross for them and stand solidly upon it. 
  • Teenagers and youth must have the Word of God abiding in them. The Word of God must be read, studied, understood, memorised and revealed unto them personally in order for it to abide in them richly. This will envision them and enable them to pattern their lives according to God’s purpose.
  • Teenagers and youth must overcome the wicked one. The strength that the Word of God provides them will enable them to overcome the world, its systems, Satan and all his ploys directed at them in this crucial foundation laying period of their lives.

Daniel the Youth

Daniel 1:8
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. (KJV) (taint, dishonour AMP), (that would make him unclean ICB)

Daniel 11:32
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Just as he has always done ICB)


Prayer for our Teenagers and Youth 

  • Lord, please envision our teenagers and youth to know that there is a fierce battle for their lives.
  • Lord, let them be envisioned to know that their lives are valuable and strategic, hence there is a present potent battle for their lives.
  • Lord, open their eyes to the Scriptures so they can see their victory in Christ and the finished work of Calvary.
  • Lord, bring them to the point where they realise that they have to make a critical decision to follow Christ; to switch their stand. A decision not to follow Christ or to be indifferent is a decision to follow Satan.
  • Lord, let them realise that there is no middle ground, a choice must be made now that they are young, just like Daniel, otherwise the enemy will sponsor many things that may scar them for life.
  • Lord, don’t let them make mistakes that will disqualify them from eternal purposes in the name of Jesus.
  • Lord, let them realise that no one goes to battle unprepared. Launch them into deliberate discipleship that will prepare their lives for this battle and turn them into agents of transformation.
  • They must transits into arrows in God’s hand for their own generation. Lord, envision them with visions of the Kingdom.


Daniel 9:2
In the first year of his reign, Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem (was reading the Scriptures ICB), (was meditating on the Scriptures MSG)

Isaac’s Crisis
  • Isaac was brought to crisis where he had to make a decision, a choice. It was forced upon him by the obedience, discipleship of his own father.
  • Isaac, on that mountain, realised that this matter of following God, this matter of discipleship is a LIFE and DEATH issue.
  • For the first time, he saw that he was in a great battle; he looked at his father, his father turned away and e could not believe his eyes. He looked at his father and his father turned his face away; he was looking as if it was a dream, with mouth wide opened, he saw himself on the altar and the knife coming down.
  • He shut his eyes and began to cry, “God, help me; God, deliver me from this man; God, I have not known You but from now, if You will just deliver me, You will be my God, not only the God of my Father, but my God.
  • From that day, there was a permanent separation between Isaac and his father which made him cleave to the God of his father.
  • His attention shifted from Abraham unto God and he became an ardent follower.
  • From that day, both father and son started another level of following God which was independent of each other.   

What is my role in this?

John 17:19
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth (KJV) 

And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth. (AMPC)

Prayer Points
  • Lord, please call both me and my sons and daughter up Moriah’s hill.
  • Call us upon this mount of consecration of sanctification, of separation solely for Your purpose only.
  • Cause a separation between me and every Isaac of my life that will not allow me to follow you in reckless abandonment.
  • God offered Abraham Himself ONLY, but he could not receive GOD, why? Because of his Ishmael and Isaac.
  • He easily got rid of Ishmael, (i.e. dead works), but getting rid of Isaac was another matter.
  • Lord, what is my Isaac? Lord, call me up this mount so I can use the knife and cut him off.

ESAU / JUDAS / ISHMAEL = Flesh and his dead works
MAMMON = Money, provision for myself
ISAAC = God’s provision, God’s goodness, God’s promise 
  • Bypass us as their parents and guardians if need be, and take Your children and Your young people Yourself to the mount of consecration, of separation, of decision making and of choice in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Point Your Kids in the Right Direction

Point your kids in the right direction— when they’re old they won’t be lost.

Proverbs 22:6 Living Bible (TLB)
Teach a child to choose the right path, and when he is older, he will remain upon it.

Proverbs 22:6 Easy-to-Read (ERV)
Teach children in a way that fits their needs, and even when they are old, they will not leave the right path.

QUESTIONS FOR THOUGHT
  • Are you pointing your kids in the right directions so that they don’t get lost spiritually?
  • What right path have you chosen for your children to remain upon are they the same (Spiritually and academically)? 
  • Are you teaching your kids in a way that fits their NEEDS (GOD’S pattern for them) or is it in a way that fits their WANTS (worldly pleasures) or is it according to the drive of the world system (what is in vogue)? 
  • Malachi 2:15 (MSG 13-15) And here’s a second offense: You fill the place of worship with your whining and snivelling because you don’t get what you want from God. Do you know why? Simple. Because God was there as a witness when you spoke your marriage vows to your young bride, and now you’ve broken those vows, broken the faith-bond with your vowed companion, your covenant wife. God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage? CHILDREN OF GOD, (Godly offspring, Godly seed, Godly descendants) that’s what. So guard the spirit of marriage within you. Don’t cheat on your spouse. 
Proverbs 14:1 (NKJV) The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands. When the home is broken, the childen are broken.

Proverbs 127:4-5 (NKJV) Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in their enemies in the gate.

Sister or brothers that might be listening or reading, before our children can be like arrows in the hand of God, or be able to speak with their enemies at the gate, they need to be formed by our prayers and with the word of God which shows the right pattern of God from the scriptures like Abraham did to Isaac, Jacob to Joseph, Mary to Jesus, David to Solomon etc.

We need to seek the help of God for our lives and that of our children. We need God to show us the original pattern so that we can PASS THE BATON on to our children for their generation’s sake and the generation to come.

Prayer Points 
  • O Lord my Father, grant me strength not to give up on my physical and spiritual children that you have given me like you did to Rebekah.
  • O Lord my Father, enlarge my capacity for this assignment.
  • Holy Spirit of God, feed me to feed my children.
  • The grace to be patient to form Christ in my children, please grant it unto me.
  • Let me not regret over my children.
  • Anything that is occupying my life now that may want me to weep over my children in future, please take it away.
  • The wisdom to deal with my children individually, please grant it unto to me. I need Your word and Your wisdom, O Lord, for this assignment, please grant it unto me in the name of Jesus.
  • You will not regret over my children and my marriage.
  • Let Christ be fully formed in me to be able to replicate Christ in my children and others.
  • Help me Lord, help me Jesus, help me Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name.
  • Help me not to fail you like Eve did by falling for perishable things like the lust of the eyes, the pride of this world etc.
  • Help me to know you are counting on me to raise Godly children for you.
  • So help me God in Jesus’ name.
Song:

Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one!

Joseph - A Godly Youth

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Wednesday 11.30am-1.30pm (UK time)

Gen.37:2

Joseph at 17 was a youth who chose to separate himself from the works of darkness - from sin, he would not contaminate himself with sin. Though living with his carnal brothers, he would not indulge or have any part in their sinful ways instead, he hated it and reported it to their father.


Gen. 37:18

Joseph's brothers became jealous of him and wanted to kill him. Though they were brothers, they were not born of the same spirit. They were not of the same Father - God, and so did not speak the same language. Joseph's brothers wanted to put him out of the way so that their evil deeds may abound. So also do the children of this generation towards our God-fearing youths. they called him a dreamer and harassed and persecuted him sorely.



PRAYER  

  • Let's plead with God that youths like Joseph may abound. God-fearing youths who will go to any length to stand with and stand for God. Who will endure persecution and when sorely provoked and isolated, they will continuously choose God.
  • Joseph made up his mind not to be evil like his brothers (so will our youths). Lord please, cleanse and purge the hearts of the youths of this generation.

Psalm 127:3

Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth.Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. All children are supposed to be the Lord's heritage, growing firm in faith, peace, love, joy, in grace and in stature but alas, the sworn enemy of God and mankind will not allow this to be. He will do anything  in order to kill, to steal and to destroy these ones right from their very first cry. He plans all his strategies meticulously and carries out his evil plans upon the unsuspecting youths in order to spoil their lives here on earth and land them in hell.


THE DEVIL'S WAYS OF ATTACKS AND STRATEGIES AGAINST THE YOUTHS.

Godless society - scientists and theories and evolution. 
Manipulations through media, government. etc.
Broken homes, divorce, absent father figure, gay rights movements, gender and sex education in schools.
Wars, paedophiles, alcohols, drugs, sex, discos, materialism, lack of discipline, corruption on all levels, false religion that abounds.
Technology - all sorts of video games, messaging, corrupt and evil films, adverts, etc.
Young brides - tradition and Islam, occultic practices - Scientology, satanism, witchcraft etc.


PRAYER

  • Lord, every guile, every deceit, every trap weaved against the youths, every manipulation, every project and projection of the devil designed, fashioned against the youths in order to steal, to kill, and to destroy them, we render of none effect in their lives in Jesus name. 
  • Lord break and cut off the long arm of the devil upon the youths, cut his ways short, confuse every of his intents, make the minds of the youths non-receptive to his schemes, cause there to be a seeking of the truth in the hearts of the youths.
  • Lord, let there be a special decree from heaven in their favour. draw them in Lord, draw them in their droves.cause them to turn their backs against the worldly set rules and let your mercy find them.
  • Give us a wide open door to the youths and cause our hearts to be enlarged towards them. give each and every one of us a burden for the youths and help us to prepare a generation that knows the Lord. The Lord's inheritance they will be, to offer themselves as living sacrifices pleasing to the Lord.
  • Lord, rain down your grace upon the youths to understand that they need God. An empowerment to lift them up  above sin, above satan's chains. 
  • Lord, lend an ear to the youths as they cry out in their desperations, in their confusions, in their bewilderments, in their helplessness and in their needs. 
  • Cut off from their necks the yoke of satan and release them from the devil's oppression. Rain down your mercies upon them, let it be your set time to favour the youths.
  • Father, we plead for bold and brave men and women in various places of trust who will stand out as examples, having the life light pointing the way to the youths, and representing their interests on God's behalf. 
James 1:27
  • Lord, choose and set apart youths that will be strategic in your plan for this end time revival, please. keep them clean and unspotted from the world. help them to keep their hearts and  from all the devil is offering them in the world (please pray for your house and all you know).
  • Lord, please help the youths of our time to loath evil, courage to distance themselves from evil influence, boldness to denounce evil, and speak righteousness.
Jeremiah 1:10

  • The devil is doing a great violence to the children and youths of this age, please, tear down every works of darkness designed to rubbish the youths: divorce and it's traumas, legislative laws meant to trap them, all evil in media, publicity, music, drugs, discos, carnal love etc. Let these not have anymore attractions to them,
Galatians 1: 6
  • Lord, make my children your battle axes. 
  • You revealed yourself to Joseph in his youth, strengthened and poured your grace and favour upon David, giving him wisdom, and to Esther an obedient and a humble spirit. Lord remember my children in this day of Your power.

Ministers' Children

Listen (MP3) and pray along

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Wednesday 11.30am-2.30pm (UK time)

Leviticus 10:1-14.  "And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incence thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD."

2Kings 4:1, 4-6.  "Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

*      Two sons of the high priest Aaron carried strange hearts and offered strange fire before the Lord in the tabernacle.
*      The two sons of this widow carried correct hearts and they both laboured with their mother for a "revival"
*      The two sons of Eli the high priest carried wicked hearts and defiled the altar and the people of God in the temple.
*      Samuel the son of an ordinary woman carried a correct heart and ministered before the Lord all his days.

The sons of both high priests Aaron and Eli perished. There were no travailing women in their lives. Many preachers' children are perishing in their sins today. Where are the travailing women in their lives?

ü  Lord please put the burden of preachers' children in my heart as a travailing woman. Cause me to travail for them till they are set ablaze and pushed into their destinies.
ü  Lord please remember the children of preachers. Deliver them from the struggles of living in two different worlds much of the time. Many times they experience one world at home and an entirely different one in the church and they are confused.
ü  Please Lord reveal Yourself to them so they can have their own personal encounters and not live a pretend life of "living up to expectation as preachers' children"
ü  Deliver them from the enemy of their parents, the devil who hates them and try to devour them in vengeful anger.
ü  Pray for preachers' children who are offering strange fire before the Lord. Those who are pushing false doctrines. That the Lord will show them mercy and encounter them with the complete Gospel.
ü   Pray for preachers children who are offering true fire. Those who have a personal genuine encounter with the Lord and are following whole heartedly. For the Lord to preserve them and be jealous over their lives.  
ü  Pray for those who are offering no fire at all. Those who are lost in the world of sin. That the Lord will have mercy on them and convict them of their sin so they can turn to Him for their salvation.
ü  Pray for preachers' children who are rebelling against God for whatever reason. That the Lord will be merciful and look at their vulnerability and draw them to Himself.

ü  Pray for all our children in the Revival Labour. That God in His mercy will draw them close to His heart. Save them, keep them, set them ablaze and use them to the glory of His name in this daybreak. May we not mourn any of our children. AMEN!!
