The Urgency For Effectual Prayer

I dreamed I was in the living room of the left mobile home on the land my father had given to me down in TX. (The left mobile home represents the stubborn goats among God's people) My husband Eddie (Meaning wealthy protector, I.e. Eddie represents Jesus the husband of the bride, Eve.) had told me to start packing because we were going to leave soon. (To the wilderness/tribulation?) So I was praying and interceding as I packed up boxes. I felt in my spirit that something bad was going to happen. (The judgments that prepare the wilderness tribulation)

Suddenly, Eddie came into the living room and said, "Come with me!" He took me by the hand and led me into the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen I saw down the darkened hallway a long line of people that disappeared into the darkness further back. Eddie led me into a secret room behind the kitchen. Once I was inside the room the walls of it became transparent and I knew I could see every one but they couldn't see me. (The kitchen is the place spiritual food is prepared and here we see a long line of people in darkness waiting to be served in the light.)

Eddie then handed me a thick stack of 100 dollar bills about 6 to 8 inches thick. I was shocked to see that much money. I didn't know he had that much. He said to me, "I want you to go and buy bread with this". I knew in the dream that it was to feed the people with. (The bread and flesh of Jesus is the Word that gives life. {John 6:50} This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. {51} I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. {Rev. 19:13} And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. {Joh1:1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... {14} And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.)

Then I saw very cruel demonic looking task masters dressed like Egyptians. They had chained all those people who were in the dark hallway together with shackles and chains. They had whips and were yelling at the people to, "Move!" and cracking the whips at them. As the people moved slowly out from the hallway and out the kitchen door I noticed that they were dressed like slaves going into hard task work. (The slaves did not know rest from their own labors or works through faith. These are the demonized people of God who are driven away from the word of life by their old man and their Pharisaical leadership. {Matthew 23:13} But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.)

I saw a very old blackened woman, who was gray headed and toothless, cry out in agony as the tormentors goaded her forward. (Famine causes blackness of the skin. Famine of the Word causes blackness as a type of unrighteousness too. Some Christians are old in the Lord but are almost spiritually dead because of lack of the spiritual nourishment of the true Word. Toothless means they are not able to partake of the meat of the Word, which Jesus said was the ability to do the works of the Father. {John 4:34} Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.)

She turned and faced my direction and I began to pray for her, sympathizing with her agony, and then I realized that I was holding a loaf of bread and I prayed that bread into her shackled arms. It translated from my hands to hers. This is when I woke up. (Clearly Father is telling us that we can pray that the spiritually starving brethren would receive the revelation of the true Word that gives life. That our brethren who are captured in Babylonish backslidden religion will seek the truth. Lets do it.)

I asked Father for a word for this dream and received Amos 5:8 finger on "calleth for the waters of the sea". This whole chapter fits this dream. {Amos 5:1} Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel (The backslidden Church). {2} The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up. {3} For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel. {4} For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live; {5} but seek not Beth-el (The house of God under Saul's leadership), nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought. {6} Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. (Seek the true Lord and Word before judgment falls) {7} Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth, {8} seek him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name); {9} that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress. {10} They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. {11} Forasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat (The false leadership puts their slaves under the law of the tithe to enrich themselves): ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine thereof. {12} For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate from their right. {13} Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time. {14} Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say. {15} Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

{16} Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! Alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing. {17} And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. {18} Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light. (Most of the Church believed the Day of the Lord will bring their rapture to escape tribulation but what is coming now is a crucifixion of self. Without prayer for them many will fall away falsely believing the Lord was unfaithful. We are here to become Christlike and fulfill the Great Commission.) {19} As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. {20} Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? {21} I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. {22} Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts. {23} Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. {24} But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. {25} Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? {26} Yea, ye have borne the tabernacle of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. {27} Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.

I asked for a word concerning the old blackened slave woman whom I prayed the bread into her arms and received Psalm 89:40, (in context 30-50) {Psalms 89:30} If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances; {31} If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments; {32} Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. {33} But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. {34} My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. {35} Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: {36} His seed shall endure for ever (The true seed of David will "endure" the chastening and trials to come), And his throne as the sun before me. {37} It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. [Selah] {38} But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. {39} Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. {40} Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. {41} All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors. {42} Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. {43} Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle. {44} Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground. {45} The days of his youth hast thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame. [Selah] {46} How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thy wrath burn like fire? {47} Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men! {48} What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? [Selah] {49} Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness? {50} Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples,

This morning I received Deu. 28:47 (in context: 45-50) This text reminded me of this dream. {Deuteronomy 28:45} And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: {46} and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. {47} Because thou servedst not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things; {48} therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies that Jehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. {49} Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; {50} a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,

Why Should We Pray? A Vision of the Judgment Seat of God
Hollie L. Moody - 01/28/2000

I saw the Lord sitting on a large white throne. A long long line of people were gathered before Him. I was bewildered by the fact that all of these people had no face. Where their face should have been, there was just a blank.

Each time a person came before the Lord, He would open up a book and read out of it all the things this person had done. Everything was recorded; and the Lord read the whole book from beginning to end. Every person in this particular line was being judged, and condemned to Hell. Each time the Lord would tell each person they were condemned, the person would begin to scream, and cry, and beg the Lord for just one more chance. The Lord had tears rolling down His own cheeks, but would shake His head, telling each person they had had plenty of opportunities to repent and live for Him.

This went on for quite some time. Finally, the Lord looked over at me, and asked me, "Why aren't you doing anything?" I was confused. "What would you have me to do, Lord?" I replied. "Pray", the Lord replied. So, I began to pray, but not fervently. After a short time of this, the Lord turned to me with concern and said, "Look at these people. Really look at them". As I did so, their faces came into focus. They became people I knew vaguely. They were acquaintances. I began to pray a bit more fervently for them. After a time, the Lord turned to me again with stronger sternness, and said, "Look at these people once again". Now the people became friends. "You must pray harder", the Lord admonished me. I began to pray a bit harder. But still, the long line of people would come before the Lord, He would read them their life's story from their own personal book, and then be condemned.

Once again the Lord turned to me, this time in anger. He was still weeping over the souls who were being condemned. "Do you really understand and comprehend what is happening here?" the Lord asked me. "Behold !!" Then, a hole opened up behind the long line of people. I glanced towards the hole. There was an awful darkness coming from it. I heard screams, and shouts, and wails, and moans coming from the hole. "Go and look", the Lord commanded me. I didn't want to. I was scared, but it was as if a hand were at my back forcing me to the edge of this black hole.

When I reached the edge of this black hole, I glanced down in it. Then, I drew back in terror and horror. I could see down the black hole. It appeared to be a long, descending tunnel. I could see a seething, roiling mass of people at the bottom of this hole. They were so crowded together they appeared to have no space between them at all. There were flames, and a red orange glow coming from the bottom of this black hole. I smelled sulfur. I saw fire and flames. I felt the intense heat of the fire. I saw maggots crawling all over the bodies of the people at the bottom of the black hole. The people were on fire, yet were not being consumed by the fire. But, they were screaming out in agony and pain from the fire. They were looking up towards the opening of the black hole. Their hands and arms were raised upwards. They were shifting and moving restlessly like huge waves. And they were screaming. Screaming for deliverance, for mercy. But there was no mercy. There was no deliverance.

I drew back from the edge of the black hole in terror and horror and despair. I turned back towards the Lord sitting on His throne. He was still reading from the books. Now I saw a large, endless stack of books piled next to His throne. And I knew that every one of the people who those books were written about, were going to be condemned. I looked at the long, endless line of people gathered before the Lord, waiting to be judged. Now, I saw every face clearly. They were my friends, my family, my relatives. And they were being condemned. And I saw them being cast into the black hole, and I heard them as they screamed as they fell down the long tunnel.

The Lord turned to me, with tears streaming down His cheeks, and said, "Now pray". I began to weep and scream out to God to have mercy on these people. As each person was condemned, I ran to the edge of the black hole and tried to pull them back out of the black hole. I would grab their hands and arms, and try to hold onto them. But they would slip from my grasp. I was beside myself, trying desperately to keep these people I loved from going down the black hole. I reached out and grasped onto the Lord, then reached down with my other arm into the black hole to try and grab people out of the black hole.

"Let go", the Lord told me. "If I let go of you, I'll go into the hole myself", I protested. "Let go", the Lord said again. I let go. It was as if unseen hands were holding onto me. I laid down next to the edge of the black hole, reached down inside of it, trying to grab hold of and grasp onto the people who were falling down into the black hole. I felt like I myself was being burned from the fire and the flames. At times, I felt as if "claws" reached out from the black hole and struck at me. I felt burns on my arms, and saw scratches appear on my arms.

I was weeping, and calling out to God for the deliverance of these, my loved ones. I was begging God to have mercy on my loved ones, and to not condemn them to the black hole. "It's easier to pray for the lost when they are your own loved ones", the Lord said to me. "Remember, all the lost are My loved ones. I want My children to begin to pray for these, My lost children, as you are praying for them now. I would raise up a generation of intercessors to stand in the gap for My lost children. These intercessors will feel the heat of the battle, and be burned by it. The forces of hell will come against them, and attack them. Yet, I will be with them, and will hold onto them. Now will you pray?"

The Assignment Has Changed
by Hollie Moody
(hlmoody61@msn.com)

Something strange happened to me a few weeks ago. I was contacted and invited to do something publicly that ordinarily my response to would have been a quick, "No". For the simple reason that it would not have been something I would have been comfortable doing and in the past, was something I felt the Lord had no desire for me to do. This time, however, I felt a small hesitation in my spirit. I prayed about it and felt the Lord said to go ahead and accept this invitation. So, I accepted the invitation, but in my heart I was secretly hoping the whole thing would fall through. Doing what I had been invited to do would require that I go beyond my physical abilities and limitations (my deafness), as well as my own reticence and not desiring to draw attention to myself.

I continued to pray about this matter. I even set a fleece before the Lord. I asked the Lord if this fleece wasn't met, to immediately shut down this entire situation. And that is exactly what occurred. I had just ventured through this door, and God closed it. I have to admit that I felt a great deal of relief when God did close the door.

Yet, afterwards, as I was praying about this situation; I had to wonder why it had appeared that this invitation was something the Lord had asked me to accept; only to have the door closed at the very moment of the invitation being performed.

Immediately, the Spirit spoke to me and said, "The assignment has changed!" "What assignment, Lord?" I asked.

"There are many of My Children", the Lord replied, "whom I have brought to a sudden and abrupt halt in what they have been doing for Me. And now, they are bewildered and unsure of what I am asking them to do for Me today. They sense that a change has occurred and are seeking how to implement this change in their lives and in their ministries. What I asked them to do yesterday is no longer what I am asking them to do for the Kingdom today. I have changed their assignment". (1 Samuel 16:1 ~~ "And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons".)

"What is the new assignment, Lord?" I asked.

"The new assignment is one of forgiveness and of restoration", the Lord replied. (Jeremiah 1:10 ~~ "See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant".) "Those things which before I laid on the hearts of many of My servants to perform", the Lord continued, "to root out sin, to pull down and to destroy that which was not of Me, is no longer what I am requiring of them to do.

"I am now requiring from them to build anew according to My will that which was torn down. I am requiring them to plant anew in ground that has been broken-up and uprooted.

"This is a time of ingathering. The assignment now is to bring back those whom have been wandering and have been alienated and isolated from the rest of the flock; to heal those in need of healing; to bind up the broken; to break the bands of those whom have been oppressed". (Isaiah 56:8 ~~ "The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.)

(Isaiah 58:6, 7, 12 ~~ "{6} Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? {7} Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? {12} And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in".)

"How will this assignment be accomplished, Lord?" I asked.

"By those who pray it forth", the Lord replied.

I then experienced a brief mini-vision. In this mini-vision, I saw individual people, as well as small groups of people, praying. These people were enclosed and were praying in rooms that were lacking in beauty. These rooms were hidden rooms, unknown and unobserved by most eyes. The people praying in these rooms were also unknown and unobserved by most eyes.

When these people entered into their prayer rooms, I noticed they were enveloped in brown capes. Yet, once they entered within their prayer room and began to pray, their capes would change into all the colors of the rainbow. As I watched these people praying in these seemingly insignificant rooms, I noticed a glow within the room. I also saw that as the people prayed, their countenances began to shine. (Exodus 34:30 ~~ "And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him".)

"Who are these people, Lord?" I asked.

"They are My unseen warriors", the Lord replied. "They do battle through prayers that no ears hear except My ears. They seek not to be known of man, but to be known of Me. What they may accomplish in public for My Name is secondary to what they accomplish in private through their prayers unto Me.

This is their assignment which they have gladly received from My hand. They have relinquished any desire to be known or to be praised by others for what they do for Me. To be prepared for this assignment, I took them through times of intense suffering and trials. This was to bring them fully to a place of brokenness and of crucifying their flesh and fleshly desires. They were bruised by the things they endured, yet they remained faithful". (Isaiah 42:3 ~~ "A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth".)

"For others, their assignment from Me will be different", the Lord continued. "Their assignment will require them to be seen of men; yet, they will remain humble and without pride while doing My will. They will not be seeking to be known, but to have My will become known.

"At times, their words will not be accepted or understood. Their motives will be questioned because for some, it will be as if they have done a complete turn-around. I have given them the assignment of turning hearts. Their assignment is to bring together those who have been divided; to bring peace where there has been turmoil; to bring reconciliation where there has been enmity; to bring wholeness to what has been broken; to bring healing to where there has been sickness".

(Malachi 4:6 ~~" And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse". "The new assignments will not come without resistance", the Lord said to me. "The enemy will not easily allow those whom have been divided in times past to become reunited without his trying to keep the wedges in place. It is the enemy's desire to keep My children separated one from another: separated by misunderstandings; separated by wrongs which have been committed. The enemy will seek to keep alive disunity and discord and unforgiveness.

"The plans of the enemy will be overcome through the private prayers of those whom I have shown unto you. I am asking those to whom I am assigning to be My private prayer warriors, to seek their hearts to see if they are able to allow themselves to be unseen, unknown, unheralded in order to do My will". (Matthew 6:6 ~~ "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly".)

"Yes, child", the Lord said to me, "the assignment has changed. Both those whom will be seen and those whom will not be seen will be working for the same purpose and goal. They are both needed. They have both been prepared for their new assignment. Let them be filled with My Spirit and arise and go and do what I have assigned them to do!"
