Generation of Josiah 3-5-06

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14 and 19:16). Those who are found in You are "called and chosen and faithful" (verse 17:14). You have called me and chosen me to be faithful to You. At the beginning of a new day, I continue to call upon on Your name and continue to choose You as my King and my Lord. ... During the reign of King Josiah, he "purged the land and the house" of the Lord that had been defiled by generations of sin and spiritual adultery. Then he began "to repair the house of the Lord his God" (2 Chronicles 34:8). At the Josiah's direction, the governmental leaders of the land "came to the high priest" and "delivered the money that had been brought into the house of God." It was then distributed to the workers who had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and the workers who were working in the house of the Lord gave it for repairing and restoring the house." It was given to "the carpenters and the builders" to restore all the former leaders of the land "had let go to ruin." Certain of the Levites were given spiritual oversight for the rebuilding and restoration. And "other Levites, all skillful with instruments of music, were over the burden bearers and directed all who did work in every kind of service; and some of the Levites were scribes, and officials, and gatekeepers." In all this, "the people did the work faithfully" (verse 34:8-13). Lord, in this day of the generation of Josiah, raise up those You have anointed with apostolic leadership and kingdom authority to direct the purging of the devastations of many generations and then to direct the rebuilding of the house of the Lord. In this day, Your people are Your house and our hearts are Your temple. Call forth the funds of the kingdom of God into the hands of Your spiritual leaders, to be distributed to the carpenters and builders of Your kingdom, who will see Your plans and execute them faithfully in bearing the burden of restoration. Anoint the worship leaders who will hear the song of the Lord and sing it over the people to encourage them and direct them with prophetic worship and prophetic intercession. Establish in their strategic positions the scribes who will write the words of the Lord, the officials who will execute the commands of the Lord, and the gatekeepers who will open the way of the Lord. In all this, let us each find our place and fulfill our calling, so that we may be found faithful to You in our generation. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. Be encouraged this day! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Please join with us in prayer for the regional transformation of Kentucky and the surrounding regions. Though there are exciting breakthroughs along the way, this is a steady, lasting move of God that is growing in intensity. We don't know what it will look like because it is part of the "new wine skin," but we are praying in the unity of the body of Christ as never before. If you know anyone who would like to be on our ministry's list to be informed of updates and key prayer events in our community and region, please send us a note at: PrayLexington@aol.com to be on our list. I'll include two recent notes below for those who are interested in coming or praying with us and for us: 1) 7 Day Prayer Assault beginning April 8th; 2) A recent note from Heather Butler of Wales who was here with Mary Burt of Wales last year with encouraging and convicting words for Kentucky.

Be passionate about what God is doing. And see what God will do!" - Ray Hughes A tempest blast for Kentucky in the Spirit Heather Butler Hidden Treasures Ministries International April 4th 2006 Kentucky it is time to raise the standard of the lord in your state high, release the prophetic word spoken over you to fulfil the move of the lord in your land. Stand tall in the Spirit of God as a state you have been set apart unto the lord. This is the time to release light into the darkness so piercing that the enemy cannot stand and has to flee. The wild whirlwinds of faith and fire have touched down in your land, those wild prayers of faith have roused and captivated the Fathers heart concerning you. He has seen your passion for His will and purposes to be fulfilled in these last days, and he stands and watches ready to release a tempest blast, the breath of His nostrils against the enemy in your land. He is roused from His Holy Habitation as all heaven waits with baited breath to see what He is about to release into you children of destiny. You are a voice that will affect government in your state and nation, do not be silent, as He fills your mouth with wisdom and truth bring it forth. He has given you a powerful rod, a rod that will bud and bear much fruit for the kingdom of heaven as you move into that strategic position in him. He has had you in that secret place with Him, and you have listened to the beat of His heart, now its time to take that rod and slam it into the ground of your nation and watch that rod take root! Use the Rod of your mouth to hit the Ground of the land that you are standing on to bring forth that authority of God instilled within you. There is nothing that can stand against the authority of His Spirit invested within this state. The Lord sent the fire into your state, to purge and to cleanse, a fire that had two courses, to cleanse and to ignite a fierce fire within the hearts of the men women and children of your land. Release your children into their destiny, many are called , from the youngest to the oldest, do not hold them back, the Spirit that moves within you is the same Spirit within them. I see many vessels of His glory ready to be poured out upon the land. There is release and freedom in the Spirit like you have never known before, a release that brings breakthrough into the heart of the body of Christ in Kentucky. I keep coming across Methodists! I have only once met a Methodist until this last month and they are everywhere! I believe that the lord is to enter the chambers of this movement and bring an explosion of faith back into the heart of this denomination You have been restless for the things of God and many have entered that place of sacrifice, you have held onto the horns of the alter and He has taken note of you as you Methodists and denominations of every kind have met together not looking to your own agenda but looking to Him. Kentucky You wear a prophetic mantle, and have been given a mandate to cover those you serve with that garment, so that those words of the prophets are activated in your land and bear much fruit. You have been trained in the ways of the lord concerning the fire. You are the forerunners, those that dared to run with the horses, you did not hold back, but poured your lives out before me as a living sacrifice in every way. He has seen you in the quiet times, hidden in your prayer closets and on your tearstained faces before the lord, pleading, calling, worshipping, praising, enjoying just being with Him, ministering to the lord first, and Now He gives back to you in full measure to running over. The nations will tremble as they recognize the hand of the lord at work in this state to fulfil that prophetic calling to the surrounding states and nations. KENTUCKY break forth into your calling – the ground is prepared for you to step into the final chapters of this age. Strike the ground with the rod of your mouth . That still small voice.
