Tom owned a construction remodeling business in Oregon. He did most of the work himself, hiring an extra hand when needed and using subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, and other specialties.

“At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For when the earth experiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness” (Isa. 26:9).

Fear Among the Nations
There is trepidation among the nations, and indeed there should be. Political leaders strike poses of confidence, yet express anxious whispers and dread when they are alone:

What is happening in our world? Will it get worse?

No one really knows the outcome of this time. But here is what is occurring worldwide: Over the past year the veil of deceit and subterfuge that hid the corruption in many nations is being lifted. God is exposing corruption, whether it is rooted in Wall Street or among politicians or leaders in the church.

The sense of privilege, that one can live without accountability either to God or to the law of man, is being judged by the Lord. There are no special people who are exempt. . . . Read More ... >>>

Extract: 
As I pray for South Africa I am lifted up into the heavenly realms and have an aerial view over the land. I can see gold veins under the earth and these seem to be mines and gold veins that are, as yet, untapped. .....

... I believe God is going to show Joseph-anointed investors how to tap into the hidden veins that I am seeing in this vision to release resources for the Kingdom. The outpouring of God’s glory that is coming to South Africa is going to have both spiritual and physical blessings.

REVIVAL IN THE TOWNSHIPS – GANG LEADERS COMING TO CHRIST (End of extract  - see original   below)

We must fully understand that the Father's objectives are "global," and that He has placed an assignment of destiny and the seasons of it's fulfillment in His sons, no matter where they "may be scattered in the earth." His Vision and Prophetic Hope is global, and not strictly contingent to the "nation in which we live and show our loyalty." This realm is the Kingdom of God and it is in full operation in "the souls of His People," and not strictly on a "nation itself."

He sees a nation as a "people," not simply as people "separated unto their own selves, with their own name." He sees a people, globally, that are called out "to Himself," no matter where their borders may be. The prophetic dimensions of our lives must transcend the "borders and objectives" in which "we live" in order to "see and perceive" the full picture of God's Purposes and Hope in all people. . . .

At the end of the week of combined prayer Peter went to the police service station to ask how it went crime-wise during that week. According to their statistics something strange happened: in seven of the 20 extensions there was nearly no crime - exactly the seven in which 24-7 prayer was going on!

Something special then started to happen. People from townships from across the country started to ask for help. . . . Read More ... >>>

God has always focused on the city throughout the Scriptures and history. As we understand what God is doing in each of these “shifts” mentioned below, then we will be better able to join Him in the work of transforming our city. We must shift from:

1. Institutions to Individuals, Cities, and Nations – While we as men and women seek to build institutions, organizations, businesses, and governments, God always is looking to build an individual, city, or nation. Within cities and nations, although God uses positions, He is primarily looking for leaders who will have influence for Him.

2. Organizations to Kingdom – We are entering the next phase of what God is using to teach us about His purposes. We have gone from intimacy in the beginning, to separation, the tabernacle, the cross, the Body of Christ, to building churches, to denominations, to Christian organizations, and no to Kingdom. Our focus must be on Him and His Kingdom alone and not our own.
