Let the trumpets sound!!!

The day of the Lord is here!

We have that blessed assurance that the victory already belongs to Christ.

Yet, the powers of darkness have not relinquished their hold in our temporal sphere.

They have not relinquished their hold of 320 Fulton.

So we must meet them head-on, face to the Son, with love in our hearts.

As you stand at 320 [persons with special needs may bring a chair, but they must neither obstruct the sidewalk nor infringe even one centimeter into the property of 320] ask the Lord to bathe the soil of your heart, to nourish it with the seeds of his Word, and ask that it bear fruit worthy of praise. Let YOUR light shine by allowing HIS light to shine in you as you peacefully pray for an end to abortion.

The imagery of land, soil, earth came strongly to mind as we gathered early this morning for the first prayers at 320. We prayed for all of you, dear readers, whether you stand at 320 or stand in solidarity from your living rooms, we prayed that the Lord would bless and protect you, that your heart would be the first place to heal.

320 Fulton is a plot of earth like any other, and we pray it return to mundane purposes once again. We pray that 320 become a nondescript office building where people do normal, everyday, non-perfidious activities like process mortgages or sell plastic pencaps, or whatever. That's how it looks to the average passerby.

But we know differently. What goes on at 320 is not mundane. It's a travesty. It's sinister, and it should frighten us were it not for that blessed assurance.

Jesus will reign here once more. Jesus will reign. My scripture verse this morning was from Isaiah:


"No more shall men call you 'forsaken' or your land 'desolate'
but you shall be called 'My Delight' and your land 'espoused'.
For the Lord delights in you, and makes your land his spouse."

The land in question isn't merely Israel, which was suffering after the Babylonian captivity from homesickness.

No, this land is the soil of your heart, dear reader, and the Lord wants to espouse your heart.

I thought of the plot of earth known as 320. I prayed this morning that the Lord would espouse this plot of earth, resurrect it, and claim it once again for His purposes.

We know it is not being used for His purposes- far from it!

So let's continue to pray for an end to abortion. Pray for an 'end' to 320, that a new life, a new city, a new espousal will take place here. Pray that the powers of darkness will be banished from this place. Another verse comes to mind, this time from Ephesians 6:


10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on
the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the
devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms.

For that armor-plating to happen, we must examine the soil in our own hearts. We cannot pray for healing to come to 320 if we have not accepted this healing within our own soul, within our own hearts. God must reign here, at the core of our being, in the solitude where there is no solitude, for God is with us there.

Have you nourished that soil with the Word?

Have you tended the secret recesses of your heart?

Today is the beginning of 40 days. You have plenty of time to begin the Beginning.

"Behold, I make all things new," says the Lord. Let it be ever so~

May the Lord delight in you, dear reader, and rest assured that I delight in you also. Peace!
