Reignfall Letter

Reignfall Letter

My brothers and sisters, teammates and companions, friends and fellow pilgrims on our adventurous journey to Zion City! I praise the Lord for your life, and our mission team is praying for you, that you will be filled to overflowing with the power and spiritual blessings of Jesus’ Holy Spirit. Let Jesus’ kingdom come and will be done through you.

Let us remember today in the context of adoption and sonship, that through Jesus Christ we have already been given every spiritual blessing in Christ flowing from God’s heavenly realms. (Ephesians 1:3-4) Our God is the Ancient of Days whose universal authority is established, his divine power has overcome the god of this age, and his victory in the worship wars of the nations has already been prophesied! (Daniel 7:13-14)

So let the reign of Jesus fall upon our generation. Thank you Father for giving every one of your sons and daughters the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16) Thank you for delivering slaves out of unseen prisons into favored seats at the Lamb’s wedding feast. (Galatians 4:5-7) Thank you Immanuel for never leaving or forsaking us, that nothing and no one can ever separate us from your presence or love after we decide to follow Jesus. (Psalm 139:1-12) We rest in you, and we pray for all peoples to receive Jesus’ salvation.

+ Blessings For Your Family +

Glory Transformation > While Jesus was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard the voice, they were so terrified that they threw themselves face downward on the ground. Jesus came to them and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid!” (Matthew 17:5-7 GNT)

Holy Vision > Stephen, filled by the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw God’s glory, with Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Then the people screamed at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him [to stone him to death]. (Acts 7:55-57 HCSB)

True Faith > “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.” (Revelation 19:11-13 NIV)

Prayer > Father, thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to help us perceive Jesus’ powerful reignfall in our lives every day. Maranatha!

Video Script

Maranatha Vision

We heard our Father say, “Keep holding fast, my beloved sons and daughters.

You have been faithful to embrace the hope of your ancestors: a promised homeland where you will dwell together in my presence forever.

For now, you see this paradise from a distance, but soon you will enjoy the firstfruits of your perseverance.

You cannot imagine the beauty and majesty waiting for you, because today you wrestle temporarily against temptations and painful trials.

I am your Resurrection Life and Blessed Restoration.

Reflect on my revelation and consider what I am about to do.

You are following Jesus at the end of a long succession of generations.

I have been preparing the nations for thousands of years to meet you and discover my truth through your prayers and testimonies.

Many will reject your message; yet, I have set apart some who will listen, believe, and receive my Messiah.

Stay alert and keep your eyes open for them.

The homeland where you are going is perfect and holy.

You will live safely in my presence and see all my creation, delighting in the indescribable joys of my kingdom.

Everyone will be surprised and in awe of Zion, because everyone born under the curse of Adam and Eve have only been able to experience righteousness partially.

When you are home with me, you will see fully for the first time.

You will be overwhelmed by my glory; you will truly be completely free.”

+++

What does the Holy Spirit want us to see today?

We foresee our Future Homeland in Hebrews chapter 11, verses 13 to 16.

‘These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.’

We foresee our Resurrection Reunion in 1 Thessalonians chapter four, verses 13 to 18.

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.’

We foresee Zion’s Perfection in Isaiah chapter 62, verses 1 to 5.

‘Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent.

I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.

The nations will see your righteousness. World leaders will be blinded by your glory.

And you will be given a new name by the Lord ’s own mouth. The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see— a splendid crown in the hand of God.

Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City” or “The Desolate Land.”

Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God,” for the Lord delights in you and will claim you as his bride.

Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem, just as a young man commits himself to his bride.

Then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.’

+++

Let’s pray.

Father, we love you! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Hosanna in the highest! Maranatha!

Father, you made a way where there was no way for all creation to come home. Our home is wherever you are.

You are our Abba Father, and we are your sons and daughters adopted out of earth’s cursed orphanage into your eternal splendor.

We do not have words to describe your amazing love. Who is able to write a song that captures your glory?

All the swirling galaxies scattered across our immeasurable universe move and breathe, and discover their identity and purpose alone in you.

You are our Creator, the Lord of heaven and earth. Our planet is your footstool, and all the stars have sung your praises since creation’s first breath.

You know every hair on each of our heads, and you name every star. You count every grain of sand, and you measure every drop of water in the oceans.

We will never know you fully, for you are infinitely powerful and mysteriously wise. We surrender in faith and rest in your amazing grace.

Speak, Lord, for your servants are listening. We seek first your kingdom and righteousness, keeping our eyes fixed always upon you.

You are the Ancient of Days, our Faithful Shepherd and Wonderful Counselor, our Risen Glory King.

Father, you are Mankind’s Patient Potter. Jesus, you are Heaven’s Missionary. Holy Spirit, you are Heaven’s Blessing River.

You came to seek the lost and save those forsaken in darkness and bondage. We declare resurrection life, salvation, and deliverance over every tribe, tongue, nation, and people, in Jesus’ name and for his glory we pray, amen.

Thank you friends, for watching our Blazing Trees videos, and thank you so much for all the love, prayers, and generosity.

Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

Night Watch Prayer Video

Night Watch Prayer

Heavenly Father, the night is here. We confess that we need you, we depend upon you for safety and protection tonight.

Lord, you are our Blazing Fire, keeping me and my loved ones safe in the darkness according to your Word in Malachi 3:2. “But who will be able to endure it when he comes? Who will be able to stand and face him when he appears? For he will be like a blazing fire that refines metal, or like a strong soap that bleaches clothes.”

Our enemies cannot face you, Father. Your fire is warm and your presence makes me safe, shining light in the darkness as we rest in your arms, sheltered in your grace.

Your are our Fortified Fortress according to your Word in Psalms 62:5-6, “Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.”

No person or evil spirit can shake our home tonight; for we rest within your perfect righteousness. I plead the victorious blood of Jesus Christ as a covering over us.

You are our Glorious Sword according to your Word in Deuteronomy 33:28-29, “ So Israel will live in safety; Jacob will dwell secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew. Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights.”

Thank you for shielding us from enemy attacks. Thank you for setting apart this holy sanctuary for us to dwell securely in green pastures and beside quiet, peaceful waters.

You are our Protective Shade according to your Word in Psalms 121:5-6, “The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.”

Thank you for protecting us Father. I believe you, Lord. I believe you watch over me and my family each day and through the dangers of the night watches. We receive your protection, resting in your perfect love, beautiful mercy, and overflowing grace.

You are our Shield & Strength according to your Word in Psalms 91:3-4, “Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”

Thank you for rescuing us from the enemy’s snares. Thank you for covering us with your anointing and sheltering us under your glory canopy. We celebrate your faithfulness, singing your praises as we fall asleep into healing refreshment.

You are our Wall of Fire according to your Word in Zechariah 2:5, “For I,” says the LORD, “will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.”

Thank you for surrounding us with an impenetrable wall of righteous fire that consumes every fiery dart the enemy’s forces send forth to oppress us. Please, Father, teach us how to experience your glory flowing within our midst. Thank you for your presence, thank you for your power, and thank you for your comfort and peace.

We know, God of Heaven, that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against satanic principalities and evil powers of darkness veiled in unseen spiritual realms.

Thank you for giving us spiritual armor imbued with divine power to put on so that we will resist the enemy’s attempts to advance into our hearts and lives, and in the aftermath of every attack to remain standing in victory and praising your name.

I buckle up the belt of truth around my waist, and I fasten on the breastplate of righteousness.

I tie on the gospel of peace sandals, and I take up the shield of faith. The faith you are cultivating within my mind and heart extinguishes every death arrow the enemy fires in my direction to catch me off guard and distract me from worshipping you in Spirit and in Truth all night. I confess my idols to you, and I repent of all my sins.

I put on the helmet of salvation, and I wield the Word sword of the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, please teach me how to pray at all times in you, staying alert with all perseverance and intercession for all believers worldwide in our generation.

Heavenly Father, please send angels to be stationed in our home, to guard us through the night watches as we sleep according to your Word in Psalms 91:11-12, “For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.”

Heavenly Father, please protect our dreams and seal off all access to our minds tonight according to your Word in Proverbs 3:24-26, “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”

Lord, I release my faith that you are our Perfect Protector and Night Watch Guardian according to your Word in John 16:33, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

We are safe. We are secure. We are protected. We are sealed. We rest in peace.

Thank you Abba Father, Messiah Son, and Holy Spirit. Maranatha, Lord Jesus!
