The Tower & The Truth Seeker

What is the best approach to information gathering in an era of disinformation and semi-fake news? Here is a metaphor to illustrate how we are to digest news and data.

Imagine you are locked in a 50 storey tower with a spiral staircase. Each level has a wide floor and very small windows (3" by 3").

As you climb up the stairs, the size of the window gets a bit larger so you can see parts of the outside landscape.

Here's your challenge: you have to describe all the details of the outside landscape way before reaching a normal sized window (close to the top floors).

The truth that we seek is like forming a big picture of the landscape outside, which has many contours and details. The bigger the window, the more we see of the landscape.

Some people decide not to climb further and stop at a certain level (say 15th floor) because they think they have seen enough of the landscape.

Others wish to see more of the big picture so they climb higher (say 25th floor) But few can ever reach the 50th floor at the top where they ll emerge to see the whole view. It simply takes too much work to climb.

So the 3 lessons from this metaphor are:

1. For every fact or news we receive, we need to visualise the narrative of the big picture. Is it sensible, realistic or a possible deception? The physical framing of our perception (cognitive biases) can distort our view.

2. We have to take action even before we get the full picture of the truth. We need not climb all the way to the top because it is physically tough and takes too long.

So at some level of the tower, we have to decide to stop climbing and ascertain: "is this the actual landscape and have I seen enough through the windows to visualise the truth ?"

3. Contrary to some philosophers, truth is not relative and dependent on the observer. The landscape is the same absolute truth whatever the viewpoint or description of each seeker of truth.

America's Destiny in The Balance

The line it is drawn, the die it is cast:  on that day, we, citizens of the world, will face the consequences of our indifference, our complacency and lack of discernment of the forces of evil that have arisen in 2020.

Right from the start of the year, the pandemic and the world events have hit us like a whirldwind, a shock that demands a quickening of our spiritual alertness, our intellectual resilience and passionate commitment.

The next three 100 days until 3 November will decide the outcome of the U.S. elections. That outcome will be historic as it impacts the future of America as the first democratic nation assigned by God to bring righteousness in the political, intellectual and spiritual sphere of the world. 

America, the strongest and richest empire, which has unleashed so many blessings, yet so much havoc, cultural creativity as well as cultural corruption, stands in the balance.

This Word of the Lord, as given to Ricci Wilson as posted on 23 July at https://worldforjesus.org/intercessors/critical-2020-prophetic-revelation-building-fortitude-in-2020-with-ricci-wilson/

We need to pray this each day of the next 100 days until 3 November:

“Father God, I pray that you will bring all Christians in the world to pray for intercessors to arise, to stand in the gap, they will encourage and support, they will declare the promises of God for the nation of America, that President Donald J Trump and the Republican party will win the U.S. elections with a resounding landslide victory.”

Keys to the Destiny of Nations

A friend of mine brought this word I released in 2016 to my attention! Wow!

WHERE THE ENEMY IS ATTEMPTING TO PUT NATIONS IN “LOCKDOWN”, I AM RAISING UP AN ARMY DECREEING “NATIONS BE UNLOCKED”

I have been sitting on a word for a little while now concerning the nations. In the spirit I have been seeing the enemy attempting to bring nations into “lockdown” and that this is a VERY crucial moment for the nations of the world.

There has been this sense of urgency I have been feeling lately for the Church to take her place. Isaiah 60:1 has been booming over and over in my spirit.. “Arise and Shine for your light has come!!” 

There is a great shaking happening in the nations right now and it is going to continue. If we do not have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit of God is saying the people of God will be “locked down” in fear. The enemy is attempting to “lockdown” the nations with a spirit of fear as he steals, kills and destroys in ways we have never seen before.

I feel this urgency in my spirit for the people of God to GO DEEPER! There is an invitation from the heart of the Father to come deeper in intimacy. 

Since last year the Lord was speaking to me about this being the season of the Song of Songs and 2016 being the year of the revelation of the love of God going deeper than ever. We must get our roots deep into Jesus and His love by pressing deeper and giving Him our YES. We must go deeper in the Word than ever before. 

THE GREATEST MOVE OF MY SPIRIT AND BIRTHING OF MY LOVE IS UPON THE CHURCH RIGHT NOW 

As I have seen this shaking taking place in the nations of the world, I saw many believers being taken out by fear. 

Completely crippled, crushed and tormented by fear because of what they see happening in the nations and around them. 

As I watched terrified saints running and hiding I heard Jesus speak “Do not run and hide, dive deep into the rivers of My love and ARISE AND SHINE! The greatest move of My Spirit and birthing of My love in and through you is upon you!!!” 

Those that were diving deep into Him, His Word and worship, I saw then rising up as burning lovers, the army of God and moving forward into the nations and darkness without fear and moving through doors of influence to take back cities and nations for Jesus. 

As the people of God moved into the doors of influence and opportunity the Lord was opening up to them in this season they had keys around their necks on chains and these keys were burning with the fire of His love. 

I wondered what these keys were and I felt the Lord speak: “My people, the birthing and awakening process you are walking in your personal life right now is not just for you but for the SAKE OF THE NATIONS!!! 

The enemy is screaming “I am bringing nations into lockdown” but through you My people, stepping into all I have for you, moving through new doors of opportunity and being fully awake and alive wherever you go to release My presence and love, I am decreeing “I AM UNLOCKING NATIONS”.  The key is “MY LOVE”. 

Great deliverance, healing, freedom and nations stepping into their identity in Me, will all take place through the UNLOCKING of the deeper revelation of My love IN YOU and THROUGH YOU! My love will dismantle fear in you and the nations!” 

I felt the Lord’s heart grieving over the nations and yearning for the nations to turn back to Him. 

At the same time I could feel the yearning of His heart “Sons and daughters of Mine, sons and daughters you need to rise and be manifested in the earth. 

The nations are hanging in the balance! Arise in prayer! Arise! Arise! Come higher! Arise! Cry out for the nations! 

The nations hang in the balance and you have the authority in Me to push back this darkness!

Let go of your quarrels, bickering and the division amongst yourselves and come deeper in Me. Come deeper in My love. 

The nations will be affected as you come deeper in My love. I will show you things about the nations you have never seen and ways to influence your towns, cities and nation. 

The destiny of nations are being attacked right now and I need you to come deeper  in intimacy and give me your YES AFRESH so I can reopen up doors of destiny that haven’t been walked through and mantles that have been laid down or passed over so you can take them and take your place and nations changed and your influence taken back.”

“For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD.” – Habukkuk 2:14
A LAND OF DESTINY DOORS NOT ENTERED AND LAID DOWN OR “PASSED BY MANTLES” 

The Lord showed me a land of unopened doors of destiny and laid down or “passed by mantles” of the people of God. From this point in time and going back generations. 

I saw Jesus walking through this land looking at these doors that hadn’t been walked through and laid down/passed by mantles. I could feel the weight of His heart, the yearning of His heart that He wants us as His people to take up ALL He has for us! 

Destiny doors and these laid down/passed by mantles from generations and generations past were about to be “added” to God’s people in this season. 

I could feel His heart so strongly that we as God’s people right now would move in the power of His Spirit and a move of God upon the earth like nothing that has ever been seen before if we throw ourselves completely upon Him with our yes and go deeper into contending for nations, we would see Him lead us to pick up these mantles laid down/not picked up and walk through destiny doors that hadn’t been entered. 

This would  see the greatest accelerated move of His Spirit across the earth and a domino effect of the unlocking of nations released. 

This release bringing momentum to them again to move back towards their God given destiny. Not just one nation, but all nations! 

That the wheels of nations would start turning back to Him and into their God given destiny rather than be stuck and pulled in the opposite direction.

NEW STRATEGIES OF INTERCESSION OVER THE NATIONS 

I had a vision where I saw Jesus inviting intercessors into a “new room” in the bridal chamber. It was in the place of intimacy that the Lord was inviting them into a new room and this room was full of new strategies of intercession and prophetic assignments and acts over the nations. 

I saw Jesus unravelling scrolls and revealing these strategies. I saw the strategies had roots that were deep in the Word of God, inline with Scripture but completely different to anything they had seen before. 

These strategies were carrying a higher level of clarity and sight for nations. They were completely new and many looked at these strategies and spoke “This has never been done before”. 

These strategies of intercession, prophetic acts and assignments over nations when acted upon following the Spirit of God, was releasing double portion breakthroughs into the heart of nations. 

These strategies required deep connection with the heart of the Father and deeper trust in His leading, these strategies and assignments themselves would test the hearts of the intercessors to trust His voice rather than “let’s just do what has always been done.” 

There was such purity in these strategies. So solidly based in the Word yet so fresh and new. 

These strategies included the Lord releasing specific insight into what the enemy was doing and planning in the nation, to different areas to target and pray which may seem completely opposite to what the natural mind says to pray. 

Strategic assignments of prayer and ministry done in new ways but when moved on in obedience were going to the “UNSEEN HEART OF THE MATTER”. 

The Lord is targeting “undercover” issues that are not yet seen in the natural. He is targeting them now through these new strategies so they will be foiled and a prevention of some significant attacks and unrest in nations. 

Intercessors, you are being called deeper than you have ever been right now for the nations. You must follow His leading and partner with Him! For not only is the greatest move of His Spirit upon you but upon nations. 

THERE IS A “TIPPING POINT”, “DEFINING MOMENT” AMONG THE NATIONS RIGHT NOW 

I felt the Lord saying in the Spirit right now, there is a tipping point and defining moment among the nations. That we as God’s people need to declare the opposite to “lockdown” and that being “UNLOCK”. 

We are really being called to take our place and pray like never before. To follow the strategy of heaven, to follow His heart and leading even if it is completely out of the box to what we have ever seen. 

We are not only birthing in our individual lives but a birthing to affect the nations. Your baptism in the fire of His love in this season is not just for you but for the sake of the nations. You have a part to play! 

Everywhere you go, release His love! Everywhere you go, ask the Spirit of God what He is doing and partner with Him! 

Everywhere you go, love well! Everywhere you go, PRAY and release the Kingdom. The light and Glory of God is going to be seen brighter than ever and the nations unlocked by love, their destiny and identity awakened as the people of God arise! As WE take our place! 

The destiny of nations hangs in the balance! Let’s lock arms and continue to move forward in love and prayer and push back the darkness to see the goodness of God explode all across the earth and the enemy turned on his head! 

The army of the Warriors of love are now arising as they follow the One who has fire in His eyes and His heart is full of redemption and restoration. 

The army who is arising is from the place of living FROM victory and they are releasing it upon the earth! 

Don’t forget the end of the story… WE WIN!!!
