The following was taught and prayed through during our 6 a.m. prayer time with Terry Nyenhuis

1 Tim 2:1-4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Psalm 27:1,13 NKJV
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

The same word for afraid is also used in Hosea 3:5 NKJV,
Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.

The word wealth for fear (afraid) says: to be startled, to tremble, to stand in awe, to revere, to be amazed.
Here Israel will tremble because of God’s startling, sudden, amazing goodness showered upon them in the latter days!
This verse shows how positive the Hebrew concept of fear, trembling and reverence can be…”

Rom 2:4 NKJV
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

We are praying that Israel will see the riches of His Goodness He is showering upon them and return and repent and come back to Him.

• Father we honor You this morning. We worship the name of Jesus, the name that’s above every name. He’s the Glorious One! He’s the Mighty One! There is no other god like our God! Without beginning and without end. He’s our Sun and our Shield—You Lord God gives us grace and glory. You Lord will withhold no goods thing from those who walk right. We thank You this morning. Your goodness and Your mercy follows us. We bless Your name. Lord God!! Ancient of Days!! Ha! Ha!
• We declare, “You are God over this nation! Rule and reign Father! Holy Spirit rain down on this land, wash us, fill us, that we will once again be a righteous nation—a nation that loves God. A people that reveres the name of Jesus. We bind every force of darkness that has arrayed itself against this nation and people. We plead the blood of Jesus over every province, every city, every town. Preserve us Lord God, so that we will fulfill what You’ve called us to do—to take the Word of God (healing) to the nations of the earth. Father, that Canada would be a light—because we have the Light in our midst! Light that dispels darkness. Wake up Church, this is the hour to stand! This is the hour to declare that Jesus Christ is Lord and He is Saviour! Father grant our government the wisdom and discernment they need for this time. The wisdom of God that will dismantle the wisdom of men. Over this coming election we say, “Have Your Way!” Lord God we say, “Have Your way in Canada’s election!” Exposure of every hidden lie and covert operation of Satan and men.” Stand up Church and let your voice be heard in this nation! Declare things that be not as though they were! We bind the spirit of deception and lies in the name of Jesus. We declare people’s eyes are open to truth, ears are open to the voice of the Spirit. Mobilizing! Spiritual leaders are mobilizing in this hour. They will be men and women of influence. They will speak a thing and it shall come to pass. We declare, “God’s agendas!” Oh, Churches coming together—this is a God organized thing. They flow as one, unified under Christ, with one mind to expand the kingdom of God. The mind of Christ; the love of God exploding with them for the harvest. No longer shall we say there is still four months, for the harvest is ripe right now! Labourers, put in the sickle and reap. This is the mandate from heaven—reap the harvest!
• We thank You Father, Eagles Nest has been positioned for this time. We thank You Father that every provision needed is ours now! We shall be a supply house for spiritual and natural needs; a House of prayer anointed and appointed! The glory of God in our midst! They come from the north, south, east, and west and they shall be fed. They shall flourish—hundreds and hundreds upon hundreds! Unstoppable—it’s unstoppable! One shall say to another, “Come to the place where you shall be fed, watered, and grow! Come!” Yes, they are coming—many are being released today. They hear, they obey the command to leave that place and come to their place of planting! We thank You Jesus, You answer us—already it’s on its way!
• We lift up Israel this morning. We cover that nation under the blood of Jesus. Father, they are the apple of Your eye. We thank You for angels encamped about them on every side to protect and preserve. The blood is preserving them. The blood is keeping them. We pray for wisdom for the government—direction, strategies in Jesus’ name. Confusion in their enemies’ camps. We bind the works of darkness that would rise on every side. Wisdom for the armed forces. Wisdom for their intelligence agencies. Exposure of the enemies plans—Your people aren’t caught unaware. We thank You Lord.

Many in the body of Christ have or are forsaking the Word of God. Jesus is the Word made flesh and He dwelt among us – Amos 8:11-12 (AMPC) – 11 Behold the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor thirst for water, but [famine] for hearing the Word of the Lord. 12 And [the people] shall wander from sea to sea from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord [inquiring for and requiring it as one requires food], but shall not find it.

Isaiah 55:6 (AMPC) – Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near.

We must grow up. Only the spiritually strong with be able to stand in these last days – Hebrew 5:11-14 (TPT) – 11 We have much to say about this topic although it is difficult to explain because you have become dull and sluggish to understand. 12 For you should already be professors instructing others by now but instead, you need to be taught from the beginning the basics of God’s prophetic oracles! You’re like children still needing milk and not yet ready to digest solid food. 13 For every spiritual infant who lives on milk is not yet pierced by the revelation of righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.

The Holy Spirit is our Greatest Teacher – John 14:26 (TPT) – But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like Me Who sets you free, He will teach You all things in My name. And He will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.

Ephesians 4:11-12 (TPT) – And He has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be teachers. 12 And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ.

1 Peter 2:2-3 (TPT) – 2 In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, you must intensely crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word. For this “milk” will cause you to grow into maturity, fully nourished and strong for life—3 especially now that you have had a taste of the goodness of Yahweh and have experienced His kindness.

Notes: The “pure spiritual milk” is the sustaining power of God’s Word coming from His very breast, as it were, to nourish and strengthen our inner being. From v. 3 we can see that this “milk” is the Lord Himself dispensed to us in the Word of God. Our craving for this “milk” is not only because of necessity but of delight.

Jeremiah 15:16 (MSG) – When Your Words showed up, I ate them—swallowed them whole. What a feast! What a delight I took in being Yours O God, God-of-the-angel-armies!

Psalm 119:92-93, 96 (TPT) – 92 Because Your Words are my deepest delight, I didn’t give up when all else was lost. 93 I can never forget the profound revelations You’ve taught me, for they have kept me alive more than once…..96 I’ve learned that there is nothing perfect in this imperfect world except Your Words, for they bring such fantastic freedom into my life!

We are praying for a great spiritual awakening, a hungering for God’s Word that will cause us to grow up—maturing spiritually—people will be able to see that we have been with Jesus by how we speak and live our lives—a living epistle. God’s Word causes us to discern between good and evil, right and wrong, the things of God and the lies of Satan—bearing good fruit—fruits of righteousness; fruit of the spirit.

Prayed…

• Father this morning we bind the spirit of deception and lies and the spirit of distractions that causes our minds to wonder when we should be focused, giving You, Father, our full attention. I declare we are awakening to every tactic of Satan to steal from us—our time, our attention, our love for God and His Word. We bind the spirit of lethargy that keeps us indifferent to our spiritual growth and vitality. As we feed on Your Word, we declare that revelation comes by way of the Holy Spirit and it destroys and dismantles all the works of darkness—spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness, and confusion.
• Lord Jesus, help us to seek You while You may be found. Forgive us where we have not valued and held fast to Your Word—where we have been disobedient, not heeding the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit. Father stir within us a hunger for Your Word—awaken us to our need of Your Word—You are the Bread of Life! You are the Living Word! Father expose those false teachers teaching false doctrine and distorting the Word and leading Your people astray. We ask You to send us anointed pastors, teachers, evangelists that will feed us the Word—the Truth uncompromised. Truth that causes us to change, mature, and growing in wisdom, understanding and the acknowledge of You. Thank You for Your sending us the greatest Teacher, the Holy Spirit, teaching us all things that pertain to life and godliness. We declare we are being transformed as we feed on the Word. Father we declare desire is rising in Your Church for the Word of God. The anointed Word that will lift burdens and destroy yokes in peoples lives! We’re taking in the “Living Word” which is Jesus Christ! We are the example, the light and salt because we have the Word of God within us. “Believers, return to the Word for it is life!” We declare we are no longer careless with the Word! The Word is precious to us! Holy Spirit grant us revelation and understanding as we look into the Word. The Word that brings instruction; the Word that gives direction; the Word that transforms our lives! Father we will feed on all the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation. Father we need Your direction. We’re here to get direction from Your Word. Father awaken the spiritual leaders of Your Church to their need of Your Spirit and Your Word. Awaken then to Your truth. It’s the Word of God that will set us free! Father we hold fast to Your Word this morning. We lean not on our own understanding, but we lean on the Word. And when the world see and hears us they will hear and see Jesus Christ Who is the Living Word. Thank You Father for the Word. It is life! It is our life! And we live and move and having our being in the Word. Thank You Father.

The following was taught and prayed through during our 6 a.m. prayer time with Joanne Summers

1 Tim 2:1-4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Prayed:

• Father we thank You. Holy Spirit we thank You for Your presence here this morning. We are unified—where two or three are gathered You’re in our midst. Your power is behind everything we declare—the force of heaven backs our words. Satan, you are defeated—you have been stripped of all power and authority. And we the children of God now stand in our authority that has been given to us backed by the Holy Ghost. Father You have never been taken by surprise. Lord God arise and let Your enemies be scattered this morning. We bind every work of darkness. We bind every hindering spirit. We bind death and destruction in the name of Jesus.
• We lift up the Afghan people and the Afghan believers and those believers in China. We surround them with the blood of Jesus—protection and preservation of life. Strength, strength, strength in their inner man. Peace, peace, peace to their minds and their souls. Father You’re making ways of escape—supernatural interventions. We declare angels are on assignment—angels of war, angels of defense, angels that bring provision, angels that make ways—of every rank and division. We cover those harvest fields with the blood of Jesus. I thank You Father God You are reaching them with the Word—labourers are rising up. Mercy is being extended; mercy is being extended! Oh, the labourers, they swing the Word with precision and accuracy. Oh, we thank You Lord. Yokes are being broken. Prison doors are being opened. Ways are being made. We bind the spirit of fear. We bind the spirit of confusion in the name of Jesus. Confusion in the enemies’ camps! Ha! Ha! Ha! Confusion in their ranks! Ha! Ha! Ha! They babble, they babble, they babble—they don’t understand one another. You’re confusing them like the men who came together to build the tower of babel. We say, “You’re scattering them Father, in the name of Jesus.”
• We pray for strength for the Israeli government. We pray for strength, wisdom, and discernment. Open their eyes to see and know the strategies of their enemies. Direction to their forces. Direction to their special forces in the name of Jesus. The blood of Jesus covers the nation. Angels surround them on every side. We declare a cohesiveness amongst the Messianic Jews. They operate as one. They move as one. They declare the pure Word of God that destroys the works of darkness. We cover the harvest field under the blood of Jesus. Thank You Father for what You’re doing in that nation right now.
• Father we lift up Canada right now—this is our nation. Father hear our cries this morning and save our land, save this people! Move in our midst Lord God. Do not forget us Father God—save us Lord Jesus! Let Your will be done in Canada—let Your will be done as it is in heaven. We cover the upcoming election under the blood of Jesus. Church, wake up! You have a job to do. Wake up and follow the instructions of the Lord our God—see the times we are living in. Wake Up Church! Wake up Church! Father You have people ordained for this hour, for those seats of authority. We declare, “They are coming out of obscurity! They have been set aside for this hour! Special assignments; they have been prepared. They’re anointed and appointed for this hour!” Have Your way Father. Dismantle the works of men Lord God. Strong spiritual leaders rising up in this hour. Men and women of wisdom and discernment. They understand the signs of the time and they know what to do as they step forth! Thank You Lord.

Spiritual growth and maturity will not come outside of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit – 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (TPT) – 16 God has transmitted His very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

Philippians 2:13 (NLT) – For God is working in us the desire, and the power to do what pleases Him.

Luke 2:52 (AMPC) – And Jesus increased in wisdom (in broad and full understanding) and in stature and years, and in favour with God and man.

2 Peter 3:18 (TPT) – But continue to grow and increase in God’s grace and intimacy with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. [a] May He receive all the glory both now and until the day eternity begins. Amen!

Notes: [a] The Aramaic does not use the imperative but makes it more of a decree: “You continue to be nourished in grace and in the intimate knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah, and of God the Father.” Spiritual growth is yielding to the grace of God and having passion to know Jesus Christ intimately. In time, we grow into his beautiful image.

Philippians 1:6 (TPT) – I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Colossians 1:9-10 (TPT) – 9 Since we first heard about you, we’ve kept you always in our prayers that you would receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over your lives, making you reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding. 10 We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to His life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in His fullness!

Faith’s Ladder of Virtue – 2 Peter 1:5-8 (TPT) – 5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding, 6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add godliness, 7 and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, and to mercy toward others add unending love. 8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately.

Colossians 2:6-7 (AMPC) – 6 As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. 7 Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.

Romans 12:2 (AMPC) – Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and the perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

We are continuing to pray for spiritual growth and maturity for each member of Eagles Nest and the body of Christ.

Prayed…

• This morning we say to you Satan, “The days of you holding captive, those that belong to God, it stops—it’s finished!” You’re a defeated foe. We’re the victorious ones! We’re the triumphant ones! We’re seated in heavenly places. We have a bird’s eye view and we know where to strike the enemy’s camp and pluck those souls out. Eat the meat, Church—eat the meat of the Word—get off the milk. These are days of war, not peace. Hone your skills in the Word. Move in the power of the Holy Ghost. Seek the wisdom of God. Grow up and be the warriors you have been called to be. Come out from among them Church. You do not belong to the world—we are pilgrims passing through. Grow up into maturity. Grow as one—the unified body of Christ. We come against the spirit of division. We come against the spirit of pride and self-importance. We declare we are submitted to Christ Who is the head of the Church. Submit to under-shepherds placed there by God. No more deaf ears! No more blind eyes! Humbled hearts. Oh, we grow up in Love. We grow up in faith. Mature believers armed and ready for the times we are living in. Father, that we will be the light of the world set on a hill; we are the salt of the earth; the fragrance of Christ to the lost and dying. We are grown up in the things of the Spirit. Deep, deep, deep in the Word, deep in the Spirit and the things of God. We have been born for such a time as this! We have been born for this hour in history! Father, when we are finished, we shall hear well done My good and faithful servant. We cover Eagles Nest congregation under the blood of Jesus. And as we feed on the Word we are growing up—strong in the Spirit. We finish the works that You called us to. Nothing left undone. Having done all to stand we, we at Eagles Nest, stand empowered by the Holy Ghost. Father strengthen Pastor Ric and Deborah right now. I thank You for the new revelations You’re giving them for this house and for their lives. Yes, fresh anointing—overflowing! Wherever they go the anointing touches those around them. Resurrection power active in their lives. Thank You Lord. The blood of Jesus preserves us. Thank You Jesus.

The following was taught and prayed through during our 9:30 a.m. family prayer time with Sue DeGroot

Just think, for such a time as this God called us to be His witnesses, what an honour it is to serve the only living God. How can we not express our love towards Him -Psalm 100 TPT-Lift up a great shout of joy to Yahweh! Go ahead and do it—everyone, everywhere! Worship Yahweh with gladness. Sing your way into his presence with joy! And realize what this really means— we have the privilege of worshiping Yahweh our God. For he is our Creator and we belong to him. We are the people of his pleasure. You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name! For Yahweh is always good and ready to receive you. He’s so loving that it will amaze you— so kind that it will astound you! And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all. Everyone knows our God can be trusted, for he keeps his promises to every generation!
In John 7:1-4, Jesus’ brothers mock Him. Verse 5 tells us the reason, “For even his own brothers did not believe in him.” This is toward the end of Jesus’ ministry, likely about six months before His Crucifixion. This is after Jesus healed a man who had been disabled for 38 years, (John 5:2-9) fed 5,000 men with a boy’s lunch (John 6:5-14), and walked on water (John 6:16-21).

Even after more than two years of miracles, James is a skeptic.

Skeptic definition-not easily convinced, having doubts or reservations about the truth of revelation, the reality of doctrine and the existence and perfections of God.

1 Corinthians 15:7 specifically names James as one to whom Jesus appeared after His Resurrection. Seeing his dead brother walking and talking, James believes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God sent to save people from their sins.
The life of James shows us the power of the Resurrection. The sneering skeptic becomes a devoted follower after witnessing the crucified Jesus come back to life.

Jesus is the resurrection –John 11:25-26 and this same power dwells in us –Eph 1:19-20; Rom 8:11

Kenneth Copeland Blog from KCM
The Start of It All

Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection was all part of the plan of Redemption. What Adam gave over to Satan in the Garden of Eden by disobedience, was taken back by one perfect Man’s obedience. God reclaimed THE BLESSING that was stolen in the garden and got His family back. He gave us back the dominion and authority that rightfully belong to us as His children.
When Jesus arose from the dead after being crucified, a voice echoed through the universe, “It is finished!” Jesus left hell in shambles—totally and completely devastated. Satan was defeated, conquered and under Jesus’ feet. That means he’s not going to be defeated—he already is!

Jesus triumphed! Colossians 2:15 says, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” (NKJV). He triumphed over the devil, triumphed over all principalities and powers, triumphed over the kingdom of darkness. He disarmed every power that could take a stand against us.

Jesus sealed Satan’s defeat—it’s done. Satan has no power over you unless you give him the power. He has no authority—unless you give it to him. Jesus did the final work, the finished work to seal his defeat. Now we need to live in that finished work—the work of resurrection power!

Most Christians stop at the cross and don’t take full advantage of all that Jesus provided. But you can! Start today with these four ways to live in resurrection power every day.

1. Activate the Resurrection Power Inside You
“I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.” –Philippians 3:10
Let’s keep it simple. There is no Christianity without the Cross and the Resurrection. It is the core of everything we believe, receive and experience in the earth and thereafter in heaven. Every Christian believes and receives salvation, but sadly, most aren’t operating in the fullness of the resurrection power available to every one of us.
Resurrection power doesn’t come from heaven. It’s in you right now. The anointing, the power of Jesus’ resurrection that you have received from Him abides in you now—and when you activate it, it removes burdens and destroys yokes. The resurrection power of God is the most powerful force in the universe—yet it has no power in your life until you activate it.
How can you do this? Here are three simple steps.

• 1. Believe It
  Being born again won’t cause resurrection power to automatically operate in your life— you have to choose to believe it. Believing is what activates the power in your life.
  You activated resurrection power when you allowed Jesus Christ to come into your life as your Lord and Savior. Think about what that accomplished. Deliverance, forgiveness, being made right with God Himself—that’s a lot of power! But you had to activate it by faith—by believing.
  To access all the benefits—healing, abundance, peace, joy and every good thing—you must put that same belief—faith—into action to receive full use of resurrection power in your life. Every yoke is destroyed under resurrection power and every part of THE BLESSING is released. Believe it!
• 2. Speak It
  When you believe that resurrection power is residing in you, you begin to activate it through your words. You speak faith-filled words to release THE BLESSING. The power of God is in faith-filled words. If the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he will make alive your mortal flesh (Romans 8:11). Notice, it doesn’t say He will make alive your glorified flesh, but your mortal flesh. That’s resurrection power coming out of God from His Word, into your spirit, out your mouth, and quickening your flesh with resurrection power.
  Every time you speak the Name of Jesus or plead the blood of Jesus over a situation, Satan is reminded of his defeat.
• 3. Act on It
  Make no mistake—Satan’s defeat was sealed by the Resurrection, but we have to enforce it, or act on it.
  The very same power that raised Jesus from the dead is now living in you (Romans 8:11)!s God raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Satan is defeated. When he tries to bring the curse back into your life—he’s trespassing. You have the authority to make him leave. Now act on it!
  How?
  Apply the Name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, God’s power to every situation in your life. When sickness tries to come—apply the blood of Jesus—resurrection power. If lack tries to take up residence in your life—apply the blood—declare the curse is over in your life and the enemy is defeated, and claim the triumph Jesus won for you on the cross. Don’t ever accept defeat in your life—Jesus paid too high a price for you to accept anything less than total and complete VICTORY

2. Live Healed Through Resurrection Power
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” –Romans 8:11 (KJV)
When you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, the Holy Spirit imparted into you the same power that raised up Jesus out of hell, the same power that defeated principalities and power. You were made alive together with Him. The very same Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside you—that’s resurrection power!
Imagine that! If that same power is in your body right now—do you think that any sickness or disease—no matter how bad—could even stand a chance? Of course not!
Whatever is going on in your body today—put the resurrection power to work. Jesus died so you could live! There’s nothing that can match the yoke-destroying, burden-removing power of the resurrected King.
You’re not qualified to bear sin, sickness, disease and demons. Jesus did all that so you don’t have to bear it. So, you shouldn’t bear it. It’s blasphemous for you to even try.
Our part is to resist everything that tries to come on us that Jesus already bore for us on the cross. That’s our job. That’s what we’re required to do. He bore our sin, so we resist sin, or the temptation of it. He bore our sickness and disease, so we resist sickness and disease. Instead of being tempted to just lay down and put up with it, we resist it.
To walk in resurrection power, we believe, speak and act on healing. Expect the power of God in your physical body, expect the same power that raised Jesus from the dead to operate in your life, and live healed, healthy and whole in Jesus’ Name!

3. Live the Zōē Life Through Resurrection Power
“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” –Revelation 1:18 (NKJV)
Jesus came to bring us new life. The word life in the Greek is zōē. It is the God kind of life—charging through our very being.
Living in zōē life means that God keeps on making life in our bodies because zōē is eternal, ongoing life. That resurrection life is designed to continually upgrade and renew our physical beings. If we are going to fulfill Scripture and live to 120 years (Genesis 6:3), then our bodies will have to experience a continual impartation of the zōē life of God.

Activate resurrection power by confessing the following: “Because of Jesus’ resurrection life in me, I am getting stronger and stronger every day. My eyes are seeing more clearly, my ears are hearing better, my mind is functioning perfectly, and every bone, organ, nerve and ligament is daily being supercharged with the glory of God! The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead is now dwelling in me and is constantly making alive my mortal flesh (Romans 8:11). My days are being lengthened, and my youth is renewed like the eagle’s (Psalm 103:5).”

Resurrection life is available to all of us, but we must receive it by faith. We must embrace a daily recognition of the life of God dwelling inside us and making alive our mortal flesh. This must become a reality. We should wake up every morning and declare, “The resurrection life of God is living in me today!”

4. Live Free with Resurrection Power
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” –John 8:36 (NIV)
Resurrection power frees you from the bondage of sin and from your past. Your part in Jesus’ crucifixion and His suffering—what you must do to walk in resurrection power—is to forget those things that are behind you and reach forward to what is ahead for you (Philippians 3:13).
Do you know why Jesus shed His blood? It’s so simple. To get rid of yesterday. Think about it. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV). Now, the old things of yesterday need to be forgotten. Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death…even so we also should walk in newness of life” (KJV).

As a believer, you actually have residing in you the same new life God gave Jesus when He raised Him from the dead. The old sinner you once were has died. You’ve become a new creation on the inside. You are full of the resurrection life of God!

But sin, disobedience and living a selfish, carnal life will keep that resurrection life from flowing out. Sin will separate you from the power of God, even though you’re born again. Resurrection life will lay dormant in you if you walk in sin.

You don’t overcome sin by trying to stop sinning. You overcome it by walking after the new life God has put within you; by spending time in the Word and in prayer. As you do that, the Spirit of God will strengthen you and enable you to put that sin under your feet.

Take the first step today by asking for His help. Say, “Lord, I desire to experience the power to live by this new life every day. By a decision of my heart, I put down the dictates of sin. I declare myself dead to it. In Jesus’ Name, I will spend time in prayer and in the Word today. As I do, I believe I’ll receive a Holy Spirit refreshing in my life. I believe I’ll begin to live out the resurrection power You’ve placed in me!”

Resurrection power sets you free from sin, shame and living in the past. And, it also sets you free from fear, worry and anxiety. Do you experience fear in your life? Know this—Jesus defeated fear, and you don’t ever have to fear again. Jesus took it. You’re delivered from it. That resurrection power living in you means you don’t have to be afraid of anything. Fear was defeated in the pit of hell for you. You don’t have to be in fear over your family, your children, your finances, your health or your future. So, go free in the Name of Jesus!

Just as James experienced the resurrection power, believed and then became a Believer, we are praying that also for our family members and also that we as Believers know that this resurrection power dwells with us.

The following was taught and prayed through during our 6 a.m. prayer time with Joanne Summers

1 Tim 2:1-4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Prayed:

• Oh we thank You Father. Holy Spirit we just thank You for Your presence with us this morning. We thank You for filling our mouths and our hearts with everything that is of God. To pray whatever needs to be prayed—what’s on the Father’s heart. We’re not going to be wise in our own eyes.
• We lift up the Canadian government; the Canadian people—individually and as a nation we bring them before the throne of grace. Lord You have a plan, it’s a good plan for this nation. We cover those plans under the blood of Jesus. We commission angels of every rank and division to move on behalf of the heirs of salvation. We say, “Front and center—we have need of you.” We declare God’s wisdom is dismantling the wisdom of men. Father before this people became a nation You planned what would happen—before we were born it was. Father Your Word says in Ephesians 6:12 (TPT) – “Our hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly real. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.” We bind these powers of darkness and their operation in the name of Jesus. Lord God open the eyes of those who are blind to the truth that is taking place in this nation. That the Church would arise into Her place and authority working the works of the Spirit. Father bring together spiritual and civil leaders. Spiritual leaders full of wisdom and discernment. Men and women who hear from the Holy Ghost and speak with boldness and authority. Oh they move in the gifts of the Spirit. They speak and it happens. Wherever they go, the fear of the Lord is present. Father have Your way in the upcoming election. You have not forgotten Canada Lord. You’re not going to leave us to be destroyed by wicked men and demonic forces. Save this nation! Save this people as only You can Lord God! Heal our land, restore us back to righteousness and a fear and reverence for You.
• We pray for Israel this morning. For the peace of Jerusalem—peace to the hearts of the people. Oh the blood prevails over the nation and people. Ha! Ha! Ha! Waves of the Holy Spirit moving across the nation! Waves! Waves! Waves! The Spirit of God is blowing, He’s blowing—the hearts of men are being moved even now! Father grant the government the wisdom and strategies they need. We say, “Confusion in the enemies camp in the name of Jesus.” We cover their military forces under the blood of Jesus. We lift up their special intelligence operatives—the Mossad. Exposure of the enemies plans! We thank You Father for the labourers. They’re bring a Word in season. We thank You the hearts of men are softening to receive the gospel that saves. The gospel that heals. The gospel that delivers. An awakening unto righteousness. Their ears are sharp no longer dull—they hear the voice of the Spirit and they repent.

Philippians 3:9-16 (TPT) – 9 My passion is to be consumed with him and not cling to my own “righteousness” based in keeping the written Law. My only “righteousness” will be his, based on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ—the very righteousness that comes from God. 10 And I continually long to know the wonders of Jesus and to experience the overflowing power of his resurrection working in me. I will be one with him in his sufferings and become like him in his death. 11 Only then will I be able to experience complete oneness with him in his resurrection from the realm of death. 12 I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own. 13 I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. 14 I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus. 15 So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them. 16 And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.

Ephesians 1:17-20 (TPT) – I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of revelation to know Him through your deepening intimacy with Him. 18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritance that He finds in us, His holy ones! 19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power 20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honour and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!

Psalm 92:10, 12-15 (TPT) – 10 Your anointing has made me strong and mighty. You’ve empoweed my life for triumph by pouring fresh oil over me….12 Yes! Look how You’ve made all Your lovers to flourish like palm tree, each one growing in victory, standing with strength! 13 You’ve transplanted them into Your heavenly courtyard, where they are thriving before You. 14 For in Your presence they will still overflow and be anointed. Even in their old age they will stay fresh, bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully. 15 Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim: “You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength! You’ve never made a mistake with me.”

Going deeper in God—spiritual growth. We are prayer for the members of Eagles Nest—for a fresh and continuing outpouring of the Holy Spirit in and upon ours lives—that we will each grow in our spiritual walk with God. Going deeper and higher in spiritual wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and experiential walk with Him—in all His fullness.

Prayed…

• We lift up the Church this morning. Oh we ask You Father to help us to return to our first love. To cast aside every weight of sin that so easily overcomes us. Like the Apostle Paul we would count everything as loss to know Jesus Christ—to walk with Him, to talk with Him, to love Him with all our hearts. Strengthen us in our inner man Lord God. Supernatural strength flooding our innermost being with Your might and explosive power. Rooted and grounded in the Word of God—forsaking all else. Oh that we would love one another. Thank we would grow and develop strong relationships driven by the love of God. Oh renewing our minds with the washing of Your Word. That we would rise up Lord God and be Your voice and Your hands and Your feet in the earth. Wherever we go we bring Your glory; wherever we go we bring the power; wherever we go we bring the Word that’s anointed to lift burdens and destroy yokes. Give us a greater revelation of You Lord God—diving deep into You. No longer ankle deep; no longer knee deep; no longer waist deep—but we plunge in the depths of the knowledge and understanding of the fullness of You Lord God. That we, Lord God, at Eagles Nest would walk in the fullness of the Godhead. Full of the Holy Ghost. Full of the Word. We flourish in this House because we’re rooted in You Lord God. We’re fruit-bearers. People can follow us because we follow Christ. Thank You Father. Thank You Lord

• We are humbled in Your presence this morning Lord—in the presence of our King. Oh this morning we say, “Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered to the four winds! Father this morning we lift up the Afghan people. Father, show Yourself strong to the believers. We cover the nation under the blood of Jesus. The blood! The blood prevails over the nation and the people! Strength to the Christian—angelic protection. Angels on assignment—of every rank and division. The enemy laughs Father, but You know the final outcome. Your purposes, Your plans for these people shall stand. Ways of escape are being made! Ha! Ha! Yes! Ways of escape! Just like Jesus walked through the crowd and couldn’t be seen or touched. I declare this morning, “They are walking in the mists of their enemies and they’re clothed in the Holy Ghost! They’re hidden in the Almighty! Comfort! Father You’re the God of comfort! I thank You Jesus. I thank You Jesus.
• Father I lift up Canada. You raise up kings Lord—You put them in place, but You also remove them. The coming years Father God are critical to this nation. Intervene on our behalf Lord God. You said if Your people who are called by Your name would humble themselves, pray and seek Your face, turning from their wicked ways, then You would hear from heaven and forgive us and heal our land. Father hear us—we know Your heart is for Canada. We know You hear us. We bind every work of darkness; every deceiving spirit; every lying spirit! Have dominion from sea to sea Lord God. Have Your way in this pending election. Have mercy on this nation. Awaken this nation unto righteousness.
• We lift up Israel. These are days of prophetic fulfillment. We cover them under the blood of Jesus. Father, grant unto the government the wisdom they need, the discernment they need, the strategies they need! Your wisdom Lord God—for it will dismantle the wisdom of men. I thank You Lord.

1 Timothy 2:1, 3-6 (AMPC) – First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men (TPT – intercede with intense passion)…3 For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Saviour, 4 who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. 5 For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time.

We are living in the last days when gross darkness is filling the earth and many are without conscience nor a reverential fear of God. God is a holy, righteous, and just God who is and will judge the sins of each person.

Joel 3:13 (ESV) – Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the wine press is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great. Genesis 18:20 (HCSB) – Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is immense, and their sin is extremely serious (various translations: very grievous; very serious, exceedingly grave, very evil, so flagrant).

Malachi 3:5 (VOICE) – Eternal One: Then I approach you for judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the constant sorcerers the chronic adulterers; the habitual liars; those who continue cheating wages from their hired labourer, a widow, or an orphan; and those who always reject the immigrant, not fearing Me, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies.

Malachi 4:1 (VOICE) – Eternal One: For behold the day of burning will come, smouldering like a furnace. The arrogant and the evil will be set ablaze like the worthless chaff of grain. Neither roots nor branch will remain. I, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, promise this.

God is merciful, He is patient—not quick tempered. He has extended great mercy to mankind (a thousand years is as one day to Him). Genesis 15:16b (ESV) –…..for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete. Romans 2:4 (ESV) – Or do you presume on the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

Jesus has paid for the sins of mankind on the cross and made the way back to the Heavenly Father—He see’s us through the blood of Christ. It begins with an acknowledgement of sin and repentance that leads to salvation—eternal life with Christ. John 3:16-17 (TPT) – For here is the way God loved the world—He gave His only unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life. 17 God did not send His Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Saviour and rescue it! 1 John 1:9 (VOICE) – But if we own up to our own sin, God shows that He is faithful and just by forgiving us of our sins and purifying us from the pollution of all the bad things we have done. Romans 10:9-10 (VOICE) – 9 So if you believe deep in your heart that God raised Jesus from the pit of death and if you voice your allegiance by confession the truth that “Jesus is Lord,” then you will be saved! 10 Belief begins in the heart and leads to a life that’s right with God; confession departs from our lips and brings eternal salvation.

God shall have a people—a remnant called by His name: Revelations 7:9 (ESV) – After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. Revelations 5:9-10 (TPT) – 9 And they were all singing this new song of praise of the Lamb: “Because You were slaughtered for us, You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Your blood was the price paid to redeem us. You purchased us to bring us to God out of every tribe, language, people group, and nation. 10 You have chosen us to serve our God and formed us into a kingdom of priests who reign on the earth.

We are praying for this harvest—for the souls of men (for backsliders)—for the increase of God’s kingdom in Canada and the nations of the earth.

Prayed…

• Father, this morning we pray for the salvation of souls in this nation of Canada and the nations of the earth. You have call us, Your people to be labourers—reapers of this abundant end time harvest. We are called to pray; to be Your voice; Your hands and Your feet in the earth. We have been empowered and authorized by the Holy Ghost to overcome all hindrances and ever work and power of darkness – Luke 10:19 (TPT) – “Now you understand that I have imparted to you My authority to trample over his (Satan’s) kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power of Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority.” And that we are to use Your Word like a sword—swing once, swing twice, swing three times—never stop. Hebrew 4:12 (VOICE) for – The Word of God, you see, is alive and moving; sharper than a double-edged sword; piercing and dividing between soul and spirit, joint and marrow; able to judge the thoughts and will of the heart.
• Lord You said, “Why would you say, ‘The harvest is another four months away? Look at all the people coming—now is harvest time! For their hearts are like vast fields of ripened grain—ready for spiritual harvest – John 4:35 (TPT).’” Father, have mercy on all these lost souls that have rejected You—blinded by Satan. Remove the blinders that causes them to not see the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Open their hearts and minds to Your truth—Your light. We pray for spiritually deaf ears to be opened and spiritually blind eyes to see—we declare Your light has come and it is displacing all darkness. Father gather those that are marked as Your children from the north, south, east, and west. Bring them out of darkness into Your marvelous light. We ask You, Father God, to put spiritual glasses on these who do not yet believe so they will begin to see the devil’s terrible influence over their lives—that they will hunger and thirst and desire You—the Righteous One. For Jesus, You are the Bread of life and Your Holy Spirit is the living water that will forever satisfy them. As we intercede on their behalf, we believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is activated in them. Grant all theses unsaved souls the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. We are confident that You are watching over their lives even if they aren’t able to see it. Protect this harvest of souls oh God from the evil one. We plead the blood of Jesus over them. We declare that there are angels on assignment this morning fulfilling Your purposes in their lives oh God. Lord, You our Saviour are the hope of all the world. Father, may Your ways, Your Word, your salvation be made known upon the earth, among every tribe, language, people group, and nation. Awaken! Awaken! Awaken! Awaken unto righteousness! We bind that spirit of pride and resistance in the name of Jesus. Oh, a fear of the Lord, a fear of the Lord, a fear if the Lord this morning! Rain down Holy Spirit—rain, rain, rain—saturate the hearts of men! We say mountains are being brought low, valleys are lifted, crooked place straight, and rough places smooth. Ha! Ha! The dinner bell is ringing—come to the table! We declare this morning, “They come from the highways and the byways!” The labourers preach the Word, anointed and empowered by the Holy Ghost! Fearless warriors of the Father. Swinging the sword of the Word—once, twice, three times, don’t stop swinging the Word. Oh, we thank You Lord the backsliders are coming to their senses! They are returning to the Father’s House, to their first Love! A contrite and a humble heart You will not turn away Father. You would leave the 99 and go for the one. We ask You to go for that one in the alley way, in that home, in that office, in those seats of authority! You are able to reach them by Your Spirit. We declare a change in direction for those gone off course. Many, many, many, many in the valley of decision this morning. Damascus Road experiences! Ha! Ha! Ha! Repentance, repentance, repentance—many repentant hearts this morning a they yield to Your Spirit Father God! They have awoken to their need of a Saviour—a recognition that Jesus Christ is the only One true God! Great shall their joy be. Great shall their joy be as they enter the kingdom of God. We put this world harvest of souls in Your hands. Father we thank You for hearing and answering our prayer this morning. In Jesus’ name we pray amen!

The following was taught and prayed through during our 9:30 a.m. family prayer time with Sue DeGroot

I have been reading Kylie Oakes Gatewood book Winning the Mind Battle, which talks about her battle regarding depression, addictions-drink/drugs, sex, homelessness, attempted suicides and ending up in a mental facility. It also includes her testimony and how she got the victory.

Although she knew the Word, was brought up in a Christian home, and went to Bible School, she was on a downward spiral, rooted in being abused at a young age. However, she says “No matter what anybody said to me, no matter how many Scriptures people gave me, I WAS NOT READY TO LISTEN.” Then one day she became tired of living a defeated life and wanted to change.

Kylie had bulldog -determination to take control over her soul (mind, will, emotions). She found out what the Word said about her situations, and declared that, sometimes 200 times a day. She also would lay her hand on her head and say “In the name of Jesus, I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind. I only think thoughts of life. I don’t think thoughts of death. I do not have an ‐———- issue.” She was calling those things that be not as though they were (Rom 4:17)

Just like the prodigal had to come to his senses, we have those in our family whose eyes have been blinded by the god of this world, have not taken his thoughts captive but instead have believed the lies and are on a downward spiral of destruction, as the thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy. (Luke 15:17; 2Cor 4:4; 2Cor 10:4-5; John 10:10)

We are praying that they come to their senses, ready for change, that they are ready to listen and receive Godly counsel, that say’s ‘This is the way, walk in it;’ to take the thoughts/strongholds of the enemy captive and to come out of his snare. We declare that they are living the abundant life.

The following was taught and prayed through during our 6 a.m. prayer time with Terry Nyenhuis

1 Timothy 2:1-6 AMPC
First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men,
2 For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way.
3 For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior,
4 Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth.
5 For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
6 Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time.

When we pray “Spirit Led” prayer, it will not always be according to what’s currently going on in the world.

This morning we are praying for Afghanistan – the government, people; the USA – government and military, the persecuted Church there.

We are also lifting up our Canadian election.

Matthew 24:3-8 NKJV
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

• we are to “take heed that no one deceives us”
• The Lord said to me:
  “ Be very careful – the news you are seeing is not ALL that is going on. There’s a bigger picture to all of this.”
• Vs 6 is a command that we “see that we are not troubled: to wail, clamour, be frightened, to cry aloud, be troubled in mind, alarmed

It’s all about God’s timing
The devil knows his time is short and he’s running out of it – so he is trying to accelerate his agenda
God is not moved – He sits in the heavens and laughs at satan’s vain attempts (Psalm 2:1-4a NKJV)

Prayed…

Psalm 140 NKJV
Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts;
They continually gather together for war.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
6 I said to the LORD: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
Lest they be exalted. Selah
9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
10 Let burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”
12 I know that the LORD will maintain
The cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.

Gal 1:23
But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.”

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
