INTRODUCTION
O Lord, my Lord, what has become of us? We have walked away from You in the land, and are no longer grateful for the blessings which You have bestowed upon us. We no longer teach our children the Word of God. Instead, we have chosen to feed them 24-hours-a-day televised and computerized pornography. We say, “No, religion is not fit for our children. If we teach Christianity, we might be offending someone. We must not look upon a nativity scene, for there might be someone who could be hurt by this sight.” It matters little or none to us, that in doing this evil thing we might offend our God. How easily we have walked away from the covenant that we have with Him in this land! We have fallen into the hands of the secular humanist, who declares that there are no truths, just a relative form of thinking that places all religions on an equal footing, no matter what the moral teachings are, which these religions espouse.
O people of the church, those who were taught well and have remained silent while our country disintegrates around us, you will be held accountable on that awful day when you come before the great Judge of the Universe. He shall ask you if you were salt and light to your nation, and whether you held up the name of Jesus before kings and rulers, or did you run in fright, as Satan threatened your security. Will you say, “Sorry Lord, if I had defended You, who would have defended my family and myself against the enemy?”
O foolish men of God, do you not know your only security is under the wings of the Father? Do you not know the power of Jesus has defeated the enemy, and that you have authority in His name to cause the evil one to flee?
Trust only in the Lord, and move boldly to declare His name before men and rulers, and to protect His authority in this land. Without this boldness, you shall surely fall victim to the ways of Satan, for faith and obedience, and unceasing prayer to God the Father, will be your only defense. To run before the attack of Satan and not uphold the name of Jesus in this land is the worst form of Christian cowardice, which in the end, will leave one defenceless and vulnerable.
Christians, put on your full armour and move out in the knowledge of Who you are, the son of the almighty powerful God, the God who can raise up, and as quickly bring down kings, rulers, and nations. Come, mighty warriors of God, and move out. The time is now to save this land. Come, unite in one voice and victory shall be ours for the Lord will lead us all the way.
A CALL FOR A COVENANTING ALLIANCE OF PEOPLE
The Jordan lies before us. The true priests of God are called to step into the water in a covenanting move that carries with it the power of the cloud by day and the fire by night. All we must do, is to bring together a Christian unity in the form of an alliance and allow it to be the vehicle that carries the power. Then God can call us into obedience, as it is being put into position. Come children of God, join in the battle, for the time is now, and the battle lines are drawn. The question being put before us is, whether we are ready and willing to move out in a covenanting move with God, or will we as Christians, choose to put our faith in man and his ways, as opposed to God and His ways. When the two are incompatible, we have but one choice, and the choice is yours this day.
There is no intention of confrontation or competition in the formation of an umbrella organization serving all other organizations who seek to see the Judeo-Christian foundation of law returned to this land. The intention is to provide one powerful voice that would allow all Christians and law abiding people to be heard, something with which the smaller individual organizations are constantly struggling, as they try to increase their size and numbers through petitions and phone calls. This would provide a ready body of people in place through representation. It lines up with the Word of God. The prophets were the first to be sent out as lobbyists and voices for God, calling the nation Israel back to Himself, as she strayed into idolatry, time and time again, after having received God’s blessings and protection from her enemies. The prophets were required to go before kings and rulers, with the message that the people must put God at the centre of their worship within the nation, and that they must repent and show gratitude, while honouring His name in all the land.
Today, as Christians, we are required to come forth and lobby for a return to the Judeo-Christian laws in this country. All religions are not equal. All religions do not have the truth. There is but one truth for a real believer in Jesus Christ, and he cannot accept the secular humanist religion that says there are no truths, only numerous and varied beliefs of equal value. Such, is simply not the case. There is but one truth, which does not change regardless of what we believe as individuals, and for the Christian, that is the Word of God. Canada was built on this foundation and for this belief, she was blessed and protected by God, Himself, from war and strife in the land. Now the hand of God’s protection is going to be removed, and in order to get it back, Christians will have to take drastic steps, that will place this country back on her original foundation, with a strong moral code in place. We will have to break our silence that has allowed evil to permeate the schools, the courts and our governments. We will have to be heard in one strong voice, to overcome the minority voices, that seek to destroy this foundation of truth in the name of equal rights, a term greatly twisted to signify rights of special interest groups, at the expense of the rights of the majority.
The only truth that has ever set man free to choose their own paths of faith, is the Word of God. He sets down the game plan, and leaves men free to choose their own destiny. He says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 NKJV. If we do not follow in obedience, then He removes His hand upon our lives, and we are now seeing the results today, of a nation choosing to walk away. Every evil device created has taken over our children’s lives, in the name of equal rights; homosexuality, pornography, pedophilia, all of which have become the focus that is destroying the innocence of our children. Mass killings, random shootings, and all kinds of violent acts of terrorism, will become more and more the common occurrence of the day. Why are we surprised when this happens? Have we not given judges the right to rule out God in our laws and classrooms, as our elected members of parliament sit in silence on these issues, while at the same time, allowing the courts to proceed? Have our children not endorsed evil as they not only refused to speak out against homosexuality, abortion, adultery and common law relationships, but have openly promoted these evils, in some cases?
Judgment on this land, starting with the church, will be as sure and as swift as the fire on Sodom, if we do not repent, pray unceasingly for our country and then willing move out in obedience. We must use the law in every way possible that is open to us as free citizens, to speak out and lobby for a return to God in the land. God has called me in this hour to offer Canadians a vehicle, the structure of which was of His design, one that will allow those who want to be heard to make a difference in this nation. It will offer the opportunity of joining an alliance that would lobby not only for the return of the Judeo-Christian foundation, but also for the restoration of Christianity as the fundamental belief system in this land to be taught to our children in the schools. It will respect other faiths and the right of each individual to worship in whatever manner he or she so chooses, but it will not allow to take away our teaching heritage of a Biblical morality, that has been the source of blessings in this country. New citizens coming to this country would again receive Bibles, as was the case but a few short years ago. If these same new citizens wish to send their children to our schools, they must accept that the children will be taught the Word of God from the Bible. They will learn that the foundation of this country is based on a moral code, which has its source in the Judeo-Christian belief system, not a new age secular humanism.
This is the land which God gave to His people. They built it on this faith system. Now, as a body of Christians coming alive as we begin to speak out in a democratic process where the majority rules, we shall once more reclaim Canada for Christ. Then, and only then, shall peace and prosperity be ours, when God rules supreme and we are obedient to His Word. Jesus did not come to destroy the Word and prophecy, He came to fulfil the Word and the prophecies of old, and then to die that you and I might have life to serve Him. Who will you serve this day, our Lord Jesus Christ, or Satan and the ways of the flesh? There can be no fence-sitting. There is no grey area. Our decision is a black and white one and judgment will force either one or the other to flow from us.
This is the appointed time to rise up in strength. This is the hour of decision. Come, warriors of the Lord, ride in the army on earth, as we join forces with the armies of heaven, for the Lord is calling out His bride. Will you ride with Him as He moves in this this nation? Will your voice be heard as the Spirit and the bride say, “Come”?
PSALM 1
Dec. 22, 1999
My soul does magnify the Lord. Great shall be His name in all the earth.
He shall be called Emmanuel, mighty Saviour, Prince of Peace. His name shall be raised in this land.
The mighty shall bow before Him, the weak shall rise up and be strong.
He is the giver of life, He is the passion of my soul.
O Lord, my lord, my heart cries for your return. Deliver us from the darkness of this world.
Raise up your name in this nation, so that You shall be exalted above all others. O Lord, my Lord, I cry for Your church in her darkest hour. Where is her light, for it has not shone forth? Where is her salt for the flavour has been lost, and the taste is bland?
Raise up a people, O Lord, a mighty army that shall cry unto You, and shall battle unto death.
Come our Deliverer, and lead us to the fray,
This is Your hour, this is Your day.
In comes the new year, out goes the old,
Roar, O Lion of Judah, fulfil the Word as told.
A new day is dawning, a new wave is coming,
Rejoice choirs of angels, rejoice in loud singing.
All shall see Him, all shall praise Him,
All shall honour Him, all shall adore Him.
Come, my Lord, come! Do not delay.
This is Your hour, this is Your day.
PSALM 2
Dec. 22, 1999
Unto the hills, do I lift up mine eyes, for they search for His coming. They search far and wide, as they seek to behold His glory.
The new Jerusalem hovers overhead like a beautiful jewel, shaking loose from the cords that bind her. Tremors are felt, as she begins to move in readiness for His Kingdom.
Behold His glory, which appears with a blinding light. Like Paul, we are unable to see, for we are blinded by the brightness.
In an instant, we shall be changed, and shall behold in the fullness of His glory.
O come swiftly, my Lord, we search o’er the hills. Our eyes are raised in waiting, our hearts are full of your praises.
O Lord, my Lord, mighty lover of my soul, come and claim my heart for it is sore within me, and I long for Your return.
The bride is adorned and she awaits her husband’s coming.
Come claim me, O my Redeemer, come take me to your side.
Come take me in Your arms, for there, I shall abide.
PSALM 3
Dec. 22, 1999
Blessed is he, whose dwelling place is in the Lord, for he shall be like a shining star in the darkness. He shall rise up in truth and be heard in this land. His name shall stand for righteousness. He shall be a son of the mighty God. For light has no place with Darkness. The darkness will flee from the rays of His brightness.
Who shall be willing to carry the banner for Jesus? Who shall be willing to raise His banner over all the land? Only those who fear not the enemy. Only those who are protected under the spreading wings of the Lord. Only those who are willing to step out and shout the battle cry.
They shall be mighty warriors. They shall raise His name in all the land. They shall be called blessed by the Creator of all things. Need they fear the spears of the enemy, need they shy from the attack?
O mighty warrior of the Lord, heed His call.
Put on your full armour, and mount your horse.
The Lord shall lead in battle. He shall set the course.
Like a skater on ice, He shall make precision moves, and we but as children, shall form a line behind Him.
We shall stroke as He strokes, and shall glide as He glides.
To victory He shall lead us. Choose now your sides.
O children of the Lord, do not miss this hour, for He is calling us out. He will accept only a pure and spotless bride.
He is now calling, His voice can be heard, “Rise up O men of God, rise up to the needs of this day. Come, O precious bride of Mine, as we spread the nets, for great will be the harvest. The river runs fast and the leaves rest upon it. Healing is in the waters, as they flow out to the nations. O Canada, there is healing within your shores, for the river is swift now, and
the nets shall be filled.
This is your time, this is your destiny,
For I shall have dominion, from shining sea to shining sea.”
PSALM 4
Dec. 22, 1999
O David, musician to the king, anointed of the Lord, mighty warrior and father of my tribe, I long to share in your presence, to be with men of old, as we behold His face together.
I long for the day when the Lord will be among us. Time shall be no more, and we can sing our praises together,
O hasten the day of the banquet, when we shall sit in His presence. The music and the food shall be like none other.
We shall drink at last together with Him, and we shall share a wine, the likes of which has never been tasted before.
Great shall be our joy, as our tears are wiped away. O Lord, my Lord, hasten that day. Speed up the clock, so the time shall be short.
Great is our burden, as we prepare for the feast. Strengthen our shoulders and keep us focused only on you. Let us never waver, let our eyes never wander, let our strength never fail. Hold us in Your arms, and keep us under Your wings. Sharpen the swords of our tongues, so the Words shall flow.
Make the enemy flee, as he sees our approaching march. Let him falter and stumble in confusion and disorder, the tricks of his own trade. Cause a falling away from evil of the secular humanist minds. Cause them to stumble over their own false perceptions. Open their eyes, O Lord, and restore truth to their hearts.
Men of old, come join us. Let the party begin.
Let us share in His presence, a new life free of sin.
PSALM 5
Dec. 23, 1999
Lord, I submit to Thee. All that belongs to me, I give to Thee. I forsake all of those around me.
I walk from the path of darkness into the light. There is no peace between darkness and light. I am not of this world.
My friends have forsaken me. They know me not, and they persecute me. They try to trick me into stumbling. Yea, through this valley You shall lead me, for I choose to walk with You.
I choose the spirit of solitude, yet still I shall be fed in the presence of mine enemy.
I shall fear not man, for I am walking with You. I will obey Thy commands.
O Lord, never forsake me, for then I would be lost. Let me ever submit to Thy will, lest I return to the path of darkness.
I fear nothing with You, rather fear everything without You.
The attacks of man roll way like the clouds. O Lord, my Lord, I submit all that I have to You, as I bow on bended knee before You.
Shield me from the stoning. Place Your protective wall of angels around me.
Hold me in the palm of Your hand. Draw me back so that I may abide within You.
The world fades in Your presence, and the sting of rejection loses its pain. My dwelling place is in You. I submit to You, O mighty Lord, in Whom all things have their being.
You are my strength, You are my power.
You are the glory, this is the appointed hour.
PSALM 6
Dec. 23, 1999
The Spirit of the Almighty hovers over me. His creative power brings forth new birth. From the beginning of time the baby has been growing. Now the whole earth shakes and tremors are felt as she labours to bring forth the child.
Satan seeks to snatch it away. He is in readiness to pounce. Did he not snatch Adam with lies and deceit before his feet had barely touched the ground?
His lures are enticing, they are delicious to the taste, but oh so bitter as they reach the stomach. What was so delicious brings sickness and death. Blackness surrounds its paths.
Yet the Spirit of God is hovering. His creative Spirit is working and labour pains are being felt. He is bringing forth a world in the newness of life.
As Mary said ‘Yes’ to the Father, will we also say ‘Yes’ to the Son? Will we fear our calling, or will we magnify the greatness of our God?
O Lord, my Lord, my soul pants for You within me, as I agonize and labour through the birth. Let us share the labour together. Hold my hand precious Deliverer, so I may glory in the knowledge that this is Your child.
O mighty Master, deliver me this day. Let the process begin, that You may free me of sin.
PSALM 7
Dec. 24, 1999
O Lover of my soul, O Master of my fate. You were born to such a lowly place. I kneel down before You, and reach to touch You.
O Mary, may I hold your child? May I behold His little face?
May I hold God in my arms, the mighty Master of the human race? What good is there in me, that brought Him to this world? What do I possess that would make Him love me so much? Why would He suffer the rejection of man to save me? Can it be that God sees something in me, for which He would choose to be born and to die?
He holds the universe in the palm of His hands. He made the stars and numbered them one by one. He makes the winds to blow, and He calms the storms. Yet in this little baby, He has chosen to honour me. He chose to serve me in human weakness and poverty.
This mighty Lord of the universe, lies here in Mary’s arms. Did she know that she was looking in the face of God as she held her child?
“Mary, did you know? Father, does the world know? O precious little babe,
Let me hold you in my arms. Let me touch your face.
Let me bow in worship, in this holy place.
Mary, did you know the world would never be the same?
Mary, did you know the Son of God would bear your name?”
O come let us adore Him, let the praises of heaven ring.
May I touch this baby, while all the heavens sing.
In our darkest hour, the light came into the world. As we embrace this baby, we hold our very salvation in our arms.
O Lord, my Lord, I bow in worship and gratitude.
If I could but protect You from that cross, I would.
But would I choose to take Your place? That is the question now. Am I willing to step forward and say, “My Lord, for You I’ll die this day.”?
O Lord, give me the strength to share Your yoke. Allow me to hold You. Let me embrace this babe of old, the Ancient of Days, Who came, Who died, that now in Him I can abide.
PSALM 8
Dec. 24, 1999
He came in silence, and the world knew not,
That God had placed Him in that special spot.
He moved a star to guide the wisemen and shepherds, yet there were no earth quakes, nor were there any tremors.
Two thousand years later, the pains of birth are being felt. All of creation is starting to groan and moan in anticipation of His coming. God is preparing us for battle, as the spirits of hell are loosed to stop us.
My Lord, no spirit can come against You. You have defeated Satan and You have the key.
Like Mary, I labour to prepare the way for Your coming. All nature manifests the change.
God’s hand is shaking the universe, and we feel the power of the Lord, as He now seeks His bride. Is this not the reason for creation, that we might honour and worship our Lord?
This very power that gave me life, came into the world to save me. Now He is mine and I am His.
Oh come once more my Lord, to claim me. I long for Your presence, and my soul cries out to be with You.
Lead me through the steps that must yet take place. Give me the strength for the battle, as You prepare the way. Let it not be a cry in the wilderness. But let the world hear.
Let there be a harvest that will fill the nets. Let the river flow in all the fullness of its water. Just as the miracle of Galilee filled the boats, let there be in this hour, an abundant catch.
O Lord, our Lord, hasten the day.
The battle begins, as we move into the fray.
PSALM 9
Dec. 24, 1999
O God, my God, such a child as this lies in a manger among the animals. The event goes unnoticed, except by those the Father calls.
Was everyone too busy to notice? Were they rushing to and fro, though awaiting the Messiah, yet not recognizing Him in such a lowly place? Did they want a mighty king to appear in regal robes with His scepter in hand? Were they looking for a deliverer and a saviour?
Were they looking to the circumstances and not into their souls? Did they not know that they were sinful men, unreconciled to God? Did they not know that it was for their very lives He came, that He loved them so much, He would choose to suffer rejection and die so they might live?
O mighty Lord, I pray that You come once more to claim us, to save us from ourselves, as we drown in sinfulness. Satan roams about the earth to devour those who love You.
Mighty Lover of my soul, our need is great. We need to hear the angels sing and the trumpets sound again, to herald in Your arrival.
O Lord of lords, O King of kings, come mighty Lion of Judah, come. The labour engulfs us, the pain is great. The birthing has begun, and the earth again awaits the blessed event.
Come, O Son of Man, come mighty Deliverer. Come in all Your glory, that we once more will know Your presence among us, that Your kingdom shall be on this earth, as it in in heaven.
PRAYER OF THE COVENANT
O Father of all people great and humble, we pray that you hasten the day. We pray that you give us the strength to be mighty warriors, in this Your chosen time. We thank You, Father, for your Son. We love Him like no other one. Let us prepare the way in righteousness. Cleanse us, O Lord, that we will be fit soldiers for Your army. Raise us up in boldness and purity, so that the world will see and say, “Is not this the Bride that the Lord has chosen?” Let them see the light shining forth as she glows like a beacon to all the world, that they might know we are the children of the risen Lord. Call us forth Lord, so that we can put on our armour and rise to the hour, to the need of man to know a better way, a way of truth, a way of peace.
O Lord, come with a sword that will cut the darkness from the light. Let none escape it, that all shall choose this day, which master each one will serve. O Lord, cut me away, draw me to your side. Let us raise the banner over this land, that all men will know that you are King, the King of the Universe. Lord, let us rise to the call. Keep us under Your wings, as You raise up this army. O mighty Leader, let us follow, let us hear the trumpet sound, that we might join with You in this hour. In our precious Lord’s name, we ask it.
Amen
