The Blood of the Lamb and the Word of Our Testimony

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11

The battle is raging! The last 72- Hour Worship Warfare and Intercession (72HWWI) concluded recently (May 16-19, 2012) saw thousands of churches all over the nation and Filipino churches overseas joining the 3-day prayer and worship mobilization. The object of prayers was focused on the threats of the dragon spirit threatening to devour the destiny and purposes of God for our nation. The 12-hour (6:00am-6:00pm) culmination event held at the Cuneta Astrodome last May 19 gathered some 7,000 pastors and intercessors from all over Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces. The “ezer”, warrior Bride of Christ is arising and meeting the challenge resist and destroy the works of the devil in our land.

The Lord Jesus declared in no uncertain terms that the church is born to challenge the gates of hell! In Matt 16:18, the first time the Lord mentioned the word “church” in the whole Bible, the Lord openly declares that upon the rock of revelation that He is the Son of the Living God, He will build His Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The apostle John gives to us the picture of a victorious, overcoming church when he wrote:

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” (Rev 12:11).

Our first weapon is the blood of the Lamb. It was the blood that redeemed us, brought us to a state of peace with God and reconciled us back to Him (Col 1:20). It was by the blood that our sins, transgressions and iniquities have been forgiven and washed away (Isaiah 53: 5-6; Col 1:14; I John 1:9)! It was by the same blood that was shed on the cross by the Lord Jesus that satan and his hosts of principalities and demonic hosts were disarmed triumphing over them by it (Col 2:13-15). It was the blood of Jesus powerfully delivered us from the Kingdom of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of God’s Son (Col 1:13)! Our second weapon is the word of our testimony! We need to testify and proclaim the word of God! We need to preach the gospel to every creature! It is the good news of His Kingdom that is our weapon in this present age of perversion and rebellion! The apostle Paul said that the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation (Rom 1:16)! The writer of Hebrews d that the word of God is alive and powerful and is sharper than any two edged sword (Heb 4:12)! We need to preach, teach and proclaim the good news of salvation and the present abiding reality of the Kingdom of God (Luke 17:21;Rom 14:17). Our third weapon is total obedience even to death! We must be willing to give our very lives for Christ and His gospel! It was the same obedience that the Lord Jesus showed for us in His earthly, human existence two thousand years ago (Phil 2: 5-9). Our unconditional and total obedience to the will of God in this life guarantees victory over satan and his hosts of demonic spirits! Yes, indeed- we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony and by not loving our lives unto death!

CLSF Moving into a Massive Evangelistic Thrust

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20

Bishop “Kuya” Dan Balais, the CLSF Senior Pastor and Spiritual Director, together with the National Elders of CLSF met with the KE Pastors last Thursday, May 24, to lay down the framework and strategy for the massive evangelistic thrust that the whole CLSF churches in Metro Manila and missions will be embarking on. The special meeting came right after the victorious holding of the 72Hour Worship, Warfare and Intercession (72HrWWI) with the powerful culmination assembly attended by some 7,000 people at the Cuneta Astrodome last May 19, from 6:00am to 6:00pm. This major evangelistic thrust aims to fulfill CLSF’s part in the prophetic vision to “Raise up a Nation of Davids” within the year Jubilee period beginning the Philippines’ 490th Year last March 16, 2010.

Kuya Dan said that, “with many prophets from all over the world declaring, in the past four decades, the prophetic the recent prophetic proclamations that the Philippines shall be a “Prince Nation to Asia in the Millennium”, this ministry imperative cannot be over emphasized as the season of our Jubilee begins to unfold to its fullness for the next 8 years”. CLSF must begin to arise in the Lord’s anointing and strength to set our countrymen free from the powers of darkness. Kuya Dan told the pastors that our weapon to be able to accomplish this are: 1) Intense prayers and intercessions; 2) The power of the Blood of Jesus the name of the Lord Jesus; 3) The Gospel of the Kingdom of God; 4) The Word of God; 5) The willingness to give our lives for God and in pursuit of the Kingdom of God. Like the five smooth stones of David that he gathered to kill the giant Goliath, these five weapons are our five smooth stones to defeat the Goliaths of the land! Kuya Dan said that through daily prayers and intercessions, the power of the Holy Spirit shall come and anoint us for battle every single day. As the early church gathered in the Upper Room to wait for the power from on high, we should follow a life style of prayers, fasting and intercession to experience the same on a daily basis.

This massive evangelistic thrust will be launch for the coming month of June 2012 and will gain momentum and culminate on June 2020. The whole CLSF will target to evangelize and disciple in accordance to the conversion and discipling of 30% of the population of the Filipinos, a mandate that Kuya Dan received when he inquired of the Lord how much percentage of the Filipinos will make an impact to establish and enforce the prophetic destiny of the nation. Every KE Satellite was required by Kuya Dan to pray and formulate their respective strategy and goals in achieving this great task. Kuya Dan encouraged the pastors that in the season of revival, this task would not be impossible to reach.

The KE Pastors in turn, embraced the trumpet call to gather the harvest among our people. The KE pastors pledged their willing hearts and faith to pursue this task. Kuya Dan said that CLSF has been strong in the area of prayers and intercessions. This is now the time to reap the harvest, the travail of our souls. Indeed, the whole CLSF will now move to reap the Final Harvest in this season of our Jubilee and the Final Dispensation for the Last Days. Kuya Dan said that with the power of the Age to come working in us and through us, this prophetic mandate and prophetic destiny is not impossible to achieve!

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psa 126:5-6).

Call to Battle: Worship vs. Warship

“And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” 2Chronicles 20:15

Finally, it happened! The culmination of the 72- Hour Worship Warfare and Intercession (72HrWWI) took place at the 10,000 seating capacity Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City spearheaded by the Intercessors for the Philippines (IFP) and the NFS Ministries. Bishop “Kuya” Dan Balais, the National Chairman of IFP, National Director of the Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM) and the Senior Pastor and Spiritual Director of the Christ, the Living Stone Fellowship (CLSF), opened up the 72HrWWI with a stirring message on “Call to Battle: Worship Versus Warship”. Kuya Dan shared to the thousands who came to the Cuneta Astrodome about the prophetic experience in Macau that led to the worship and prayer event yesterday. The 72HrWWI kicked off nationwide last May 16 at 6:00PM in many cities and provinces all over the nation and ended in the culminating event yesterday, May 19 from 6:00AM to 6:00PM. Pastors and intercessors from the 17 cities of Metro Manila including the surrounding provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal, Pampanga and Batangas all came in full force filling up the cavernous venue with powerful worship, warfare and intercessory prayers!

Prior to the 72HrWWI event, Kuya Dan called for a Press Conference at the Legend Villas to express the Bishops and Church leaders vehement opposition and outrage against the forthcoming Lady Gaga rock concert to be held on May 21-22 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Kuya Dan invited to the press conference bishops and church leaders of the PJM, IFP, Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), Bible Mode, NFS, the Metro Manila for Jesus Movement (MMJM), Council of Christian Bishops of the Philippines (CCBP) and other leaders of denominations, churches and ministries who are opposed and outraged by the staging here of the Lady Gaga concert in Manila. Kuya Dan, in the press statement, says that: “the bishops and Christian leaders vehemently oppose and call for the banning of the Lady Gaga concert”. Kuya Dan further said that:

“this concert is grossly blasphemous, immoral, lewd, and obscene and carries demonic and occultic undertones that is an insult to our God and is a direct attack on our Christian faith! It greatly endangers the hearts and minds of our youth as it overtly promotes satanic worship and sexual perversity! This concert has to be banned and not allowed to push through!”

Media representatives from ABS-CBN, GMA7, TV5, Zoë TV, DZMM, DZRH, the Inquirer and other print media came to cover the press conference.

The 72HrWWI was called by IFP to sound the alarm and call for the Body of Christ to come together and rise up against the dragon spirit that threatens to devour and derail the prophetic destiny of the Philippines as proclaimed by the prophets. The Lord gave IFP the strategy of King Jehoshaphat in II Chron 20: 1-29 where worship and praise to God became the mighty weapon of the children of Israel against the armies of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir (II Chron 20:22). The prophetic gathering became a seamless flow of worship, spiritual warfare and intercession. The anointing came down and filled the whole Astrodome with the glory of God releasing faith and strength for the spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. The three main focus of prayers and spiritual warfare was: the threat of China over the territorial conflict in the Scarborough and Spratly islands in the West Philippines Sea; the Casino City being constructed at Paranaque and Pasay areas threatening to further corrupt the morals of our people opening up more gates of evil in the land; the Lady Gaga concert on May 21-22 to be held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena which will release a host of demonic gates in the land. The CLSF churches in Metro Manila took the kick- off event last May 16 from 6:00PM ending at 6:00 PM of the following day, May 17 where 24 hour non-stop worship, warfare and intercession took place at the CLSF Goshen Center in Mandaluyong City.

The 72HrWWI culminating event at Cuneta Astrodome was followed by a 10,000 people strong Jericho March around the SM Mall of Asia Arena where the Lady Gaga concert will be held. Kuya Dan believes that the unity, obedience and vigilance of God’s people have effectively disarmed the principality over the nation to pave the way for the revival and transformation of the Philippines to be the “Prince Nation to Asia in the Millennium”!

The Price of Destiny

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing and forceful men lay hold of it.” Matthew 11:12

The prophets declared that the nation of the Philippines is at a forked road: One road leads to destruction and captivity; the other one leads to restoration and destiny! Never in our history that we are in such contrasting future than now! The promises of God is within our sight but Satan, the arch enemy of God and His people, is all out to keep us from possessing our destiny as prophesied by prophets who came to this land for the past four decades. The nation needs people who would believe God’s promises and persevere; people who would be willing to pay the price that destiny requires!

For the past three years, extra-ordinary prophets came to our land and opened up the prophetic gates declaring such our “Kairos” time as a nation and people has come. The revelation about our Jubilee of Jubilees in 2010 opened up a new season for the nation; a shift of spiritual atmosphere that caused a chain of events that turned the otherwise bleak and uncertain future into one that revived and resurrected the prophetic pronouncements that we have clung to for many years! In the last 23rd National Prayer Gathering (NPG), Prophet Robert Misst declared the Philippines is the Prince Nation to Asia in the millennium. As soon as this prophetic word was declared publicly, Satan, that old serpent immediately launched new, potentially fatal attacks to sabotage God’s glorious plan for the nation! China suddenly threw caution and decency in the air as she began to impose her claim on the Scarborough shoal and the Spratly islands! With China’s military and economic might, we simply don’t have a chance to engage her to war to defend our territorial sovereignty. Our government sought for international arbitration in the United Nations but China refused resorting to bullying her way and intimidating our navy in her attempt to forcefully assert her rights over our islands straddled within the 200 mile exclusive economic zone in West Philippine Sea. Satan, unrelenting in his assault, would also like to corrupt further our morals by trying to make the Philippines a gambling capital in this part of the world. Covered under the cunning cover of our people’s ignorance and apathy, a casino city is slowly rising in the old, formerly rustic, Nayong Pilipino. As if this double assault is not enough, Satan sent his ambassador of darkness, Lady Gaga to snare the hearts of our young people and open a wide gate of occultism in the nation through her blasphemous, demonic and obscene concert!

There is a price to pay for our destiny! The devil will not simply withdraw and give up his claim upon our people and nation! He is afraid of what we can become! Like Israel discovering her identity and destiny, Satan knew that the Philippines is a serious threat to his kingdom in Asia! To fight Satan and his host of darkness, we need to fast, pray, intercede and most of all, worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness! It is when the Lord’s glory and abiding presence come upon us that the enemies of God’s purposes for our land and people will flee in haste! Yes, destiny carries a price that we must be willing to pay!

Bishops and Church Leaders Support the 72- Hour Worship Warfare and Intercession (WWI) on MAY 16-19, 2012

The bishops, denominational and national ministry leaders of the Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM) and the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC) declared their support for the 72-Hour Worship Warfare and Intercession (WWI) being spearheaded by the Intercessors for the Philippines (IFP) and the NFS ministry participated in by the whole prayer network and the whole Body of Christ in the nation. The 72-Hour WWI will commence on May 16 at 6:00 PM and will continue in a non-stop worship, warfare and intercession chain up to 6:00 PM of May 19, 2012 with a culminating event for Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces at the 10,000 seating capacity Cuneta Astrodome on May 19 from 6:00AM to 6:00PM.

The PCEC and PJM bishops and other national church leaders unanimously agreed to support and endorse the 72HrWWI in the 2nd monthly unity and fellowship meeting held last May 11, 2012 at the Legend Villas in Mandaluyong City. The monthly gathering of the Bishops is being pursued in response to the prophetic directive revealed to prophet Robert Misst of New Zealand that: “unity is non-negotiable requirement if we are to possess our destiny”. Bishop “Kuya” Dan, the CLSF Senior Pastor and Spiritual Director and also the IFP National Chairman, initiated this monthly meeting being kindly and generously hosted and sponsored by Bro. Wyden King, the owner of Legend Hotels and the Chairman and President of NFS Ministries.

In the light of the increasingly aggressive China threat in the Scarborough and Spatlys islands territorial conflicts; the plan to make the Philippines an international gambling destination through the entertainment city being constructed in Pasay and Paranaque Cities; and the concert tour in Manila of Lady Gaga, an occultic and demonically inspired rock concert star, the 72-Hour WWI could not have come to a better time! Kuya Dan said that:

“This 72Hour WWI is a call to battle! IFP is blowing the trumpet and sounding the alarm! The whole IFP prayer network and the Body of Christ throughout the nation and even the Filipino churches overseas are being mobilized to effectuate a three day and three nights of continuous worship, spiritual warfare and intercession from May 16-19, 2012. Churches of all denominations nationwide will take turns in covering the whole nation with unbroken worship, warfare and intercession chain! This was God’s instruction to us in the light of the dragon spirit working through China to sabotage our inheritance and prophetic destiny as a Prince Nation to Asia in the millennium!”

The PCEC Bishops and church leaders present in the breakfast fellowship meeting were Bishop Ef Tendero, Bishop Fred Magbanua, Jr., Bishop Chito Sanchez, Dr. Noel Pantoja, and Bishop Raymond Pe Benito. The PJM Bishops and church leaders were Bishop “Kuya” Dan, Bishop Leo Alconga, Bishop Rolly Blas, Bishop Romy Abellar, Pastor Romy Suela, Pastor Archie de Villa and Pastor Francis Nicolas. Other leaders were Pastor Ed de Guzman of IFP, Bro. Wyden King of NFS, Pastor Ben Yu of Tribes and Nations Outreach, Bro. Mon Orosa of Broadway Centrum. The monthly fellowship breakfast is being done to strengthen the relationships of the Bishops and church leaders so that, being united, they can pursue the prophetic destiny of the nation together. There is also a plan to hold a PCEC and PJM leaders’ summit in Puerto Princesa, Palawan this coming July 3-6, 2012 where 20 leaders from PJM and 20 leaders from PCEC will for fellowship and united strategy planning to pursue God’s prophetic purposes for the nation. Kuya Dan is so much thankful to God for enabling them to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. With the IFP, PJM, PCEC and other strategic ministries coming together, victory will be assured as we contend for God’s promises for the nation.

With the Bishops and church leaders all united in joining and endorsing the 72-Hour WWI to their respective constituents, we can look forward to many miraculous victories in our battles ahead!

A Call to Arise and Contend for Our Destiny

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” 2Corinthians 10:4-5

This coming week is the D-Day of our spiritual battle for our prophetic destiny! From May 16-19, 2012, the whole Body of Christ in the nation will embark on another unprecedented ground-breaking spiritual initiative: the 72Hour Worship Warfare and Intercession (72HrWWI). In obedience to the prophetic directive that me and Ate Tanette received while we were in Macau last April 18-23, 2012, the Intercessors for the Philippines (IFP) launched the 72HrWWI. Churches from all over the nation will take turns in worshipping the Lord, waging a spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness and interceding before God for the sins of the nation. There will also be culminating event on May 19 at the Cuneta Astrodome where pastors and intercessors from all over Metro Manila and the immediate surrounding provinces will gather together from 6:00am to 6:00pm.

The object of the 72HrWWI is to invite the presence of God in the nation through three nights and three days of continuous worship, wage an intense spiritual warfare against the spirit of dragon manifesting itself through the increasing threat and aggression of China in the territorial conflict in Scarborough shoal and the Spratlys islands in the West Philippines Sea. Warfare will also be waged against the internal threat of the plan to make the Philippines a gambling destination in Asia through the multi-billion Entertainment City being constructed at the old Nayong Pilipino site at the border of Pasay and Paranaque cities. Warfare prayers will also be done to come against the forthcoming concert of Lady Gaga, a highly occultic and satanic rock singer, who through music will open up the gates of hell and occultism in the nation. This singer was rejected and sanctioned in Indonesia and Korea. We must arise and not allow the entry of this demonic deception to our young people.

It is worship that we will use against the warships of China. In the natural, we have neither weaponry nor military capability to defend our territory against this blatant and shameless encroachment of our national patrimony, that is the Spratlys and the Scarborough shoal; but our weapons are the spiritual weapons of worship, prophetic warfare and intercession. The Lord showed to me, through a powerful prophetic experience in Macau how mighty angels execute our prophetic words spoken in the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The great mountains can be removed by the prophetic voice of the Lord (Zech 4: 6-7; Psalm 29; Mark 11:23)! No powers of darkness or natural force can stand against the presence and glory of God (Nah 1:5; Psalm 97:5). Our continuous worship will bring the presence of God throughout the nation. Mighty angels come with the presence of the Lord. These angels will come to our defense as in the days of old. These angelic hosts will defend our nation as we worship the Lord as in the days of King Jehoshaphat (II Chron 20). This is a critical time in our history: we must arise and contend for our destiny!

The Power of the Prophetic Word

“Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 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.” Jeremiah 1:9-10

How powerful is the God’s prophetic word spoken by His people? What is the weapon that God has given His people to use for the great spiritual battle that we are facing and will face in these Last Days?. The word of God has an awesome, unimaginable creative power! The Lord created the whole earth by the power of His spoken word (Gen 1: 1-26; Heb 11:3). Everything in the whole universe, whether visible or invisible were created by Him and for Him (Col 1:16)! The prophetic word of the Lord also communicates God’s thoughts, will and plans to man. The Lord created man to be recipient of His thoughts, will and plans and created him to be His image, the fullness of expression of His authority on the earth (Gen 1:26-28). It is through man that God continues to create and enforce His will on the earth as it is in heaven (Gen 1:28; Psalm 115:16; Matt 6: 9-10).

When Adam and Eve fell to sin, the Lord continued to communicate His will to His people. From the whole creation, to the giving of the Law to His people Israel, to the time of the prophets until the time of the coming of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord continues to speak to His man (Psalm 19:1-3; Rom 1: 20; Heb 1:1-2). The Lord specifically raised up prophets to be His oracles or mouthpiece through which He will communicate His thoughts and plans to the people. Bible history tells us of men and women who heard and received the prophetic word of the Lord and spoke them to their time and situation. God desires that all of His people are prophets (Num 11:29)!

The calling to the office of the prophet of Jeremiah shows to us a lot about prophets and the power of the prophetic word of the Lord. The young Jeremiah was called by God at the time of the backsliding of the nation of Israel. The prophet, being called and commissioned at such a young age was reluctant to the calling but the Lord assured him saying:

“But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 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” (Jer 1:7-10).

The word of the Lord in the mouth of the prophet gave him authority over nations and kingdoms. It can root out, pull down, destroy and throw down all contrary thoughts, plans, works and intentions. It can also build and plant God’s purposes, will, thoughts, plans and works. The prophetic word of the Lord spoken in faith can also take hold of things and propel things to motion. The writer of Hebrews tells us that the whole universe, the whole creation is being propelled or set to motion in an orderly manner by the word of His power (Heb 11:3). The prophet Ezekiel, when he spoke the word of the Lord turned the whole valley of dry bones to become a vast, exceedingly mighty army (Ezek 37:1-10)!

CLSF to Launch the 72-Hour Worship, Warfare and Intercession

The 72-Hour Nationwide Worship Warfare and Intercession (72HWWI) will be launched right at the Christ, the Living Stone Fellowship (CLSF) Central Worship Sanctuary at Goshen building, #453 Calbayog St., Mandaluyong City. The launching event will be held on May 16, 2012 starting at 6:00am and ending at 6:00am of the following day, May 17. All the 17 KE Satellite churches will be participating in the 72HWWI taking turns in worshipping the Lord, engaging in Spiritual warfare and interceding for the nation. The 72HWWI is the latest nationwide prayer initiative of IFP and was launched in accordance with the Lord’s direction. The Lord prophetically impressed upon Kuya Dan and the IFP leadership that, just like in the time of King Jehoshaphat (II Chron 20), this is our response to the imminent threat of China in the territorial and sovereignty conflict at the Spratly islands. Having trumpeted the call with such urgency the past week to the whole Body of Christ in Metro Manila and the whole prayer network nationwide, the prophetic directive was clearly heard, understood and accepted by the Body of Christ in Metro Manila and many parts of the country including many Filipino churches overseas.

CLSF, being the church host of the office of the Intercessors for the Philippines (IFP) and Bishop “Kuya” Dan, the CLSF Senior Pastor, being the IFP National Chairman has, for many years, have become the main launching pad of most of the IFP prayer initiatives. Ate Nona Londonio, a CLSF national Elder is the IFP National Director and Ate Tanette Balais is also one of the founding IFP Board members. Through the years CLSF acted as the model church for the whole prayer movement. Prophetic worship and intercession is one of the major anointing of CLSF being given the grace to be called a “Philadelphia church” in accordance to Rev 3: 7-13.

The Lord spoke to Kuya Dan, through a prophetic experience he had in Macau while with Ate Tanette on a speaking engagement some two weeks ago, that the weapons that the church in the Philippines could use in fighting the threat of China concerning the escalating tensions in the Spratly’s issue is worship. We do not have a lot of warship in our navy to repel against foreign encroachments in our territorial sovereignty especially from such a powerful nation as China, but we can do a lot of worship to declare that the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever (II Chron 20:21)! In that prophetic experience, Kuya Dan was taken in the spirit to the border of Macau and Mainland China. Kuya Dan found himself prophesying towards the great mountain (China) when suddenly, he saw two huge angels of some 200 feet in height doing the same gestures as he was doing. As Kuya Dan prophesied, the two gigantic warring angels also prophesied with their voices amplified a million times the voice of Kuya Dan. Kuya Dan then saw their voice became like a mighty, forceful wind that came forth from their mouths- hitting the great mountain like the force of a hurricane! The mountain began to disintegrate quickly under the mighty assault of the angels’ voice like a mere sand dune in the desert blown away by the wind! In no time at all, the great mountain disappeared and before Kuya Dan was a vast plain land!

The Lord then impressed to Kuya Dan three scriptures: Psalm 29: 1-11; Zech 4: 6-7 and II Chron 20: 1-30. It was at that time that the Lord directed Kuya Dan to have the 72-Hour Worship, Warfare and Intercession for the whole prayer network nationwide. It was a powerful prophetic directive- an urgent call to spiritual battle to defend God’s prophetic destiny for the Philippines being threatened by the spirit of dragon operating in the mighty super-power nation of China.

Kuya Dan said that the threats of China to our prophetic destiny as a Prince Nation to Asia in the Millennium is not only external (Spratly island issue) but also internal (the Casino Complex and Entertainment Center being built at the reclamation site near Roxas Boulevard. One aims to steal our territorial sovereignty; the other aims to corrupt our morals. Kuya Dan exhorted the CLSF KE Pastors, doulos and ministry workers in the last Doulos Assembly last week that what is at stake- that is; our prophetic destiny is so great; any sacrifice that we could do as mighty warrior Bride of Christ is truly worth its price! Kuya Dan encourages everyone to participate both for the CLSF slot and the culmination for the whole Body of Christ on May 19, 2012 from 6:00am to 6:00PM at the Cuneta Astrodome.

Worship Instead of Warship

“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” 2Chronicles 20:21-22

The recent escalation of tensions in the Spratlys Islands between China and the Philippines stirred up a lot of concern to our government and our people. The Philippines, after decades of corruption and economic deterioration, has down scaled our army, air force and navy to such an extent that we are today absolutely defenseless to foreign aggression and ambitious encroachment on our national patrimony and territorial sovereignty. Coupled with the prophetic warnings of prophet Robert Misst who spoke in the just concluded 23rd National Prayer Gathering (NPG) that the bird from the East (Isaiah 46: 11) will try to swoop down upon this disputed territory in the West Philippine Sea, the Lord strongly put in the hearts of intercessors to pray for this danger looming in the horizon. We simply have no naval warships to repulse this blatant Chinese aggression. Our government instead is seeking diplomatic solution to this crisis and would like to elevate this dispute to the United Nations (UN) in accordance to the UN Convention on the Laws of the Seas (UNCLOS). China arrogantly rejects internationalizing this issue because they absolutely will lose the legal contest on the ownership of this oil and gas rich islands comprised of some 30,000 islets, atolls and reefs spread over some 425,000 square kilometers of sea.

It was our mission trip to Macau last week that the Lord impressed to me, through a prophetic experience that we need to fight in the spiritual realm for this inheritance allotted by the Lord for our beloved land and nation. In that prophetic experience, I was standing at the border of Macau and Mainland China prophesying with all my might towards mainland China standing formidable and immovable like a huge mountain directly in front of us. I suddenly saw two huge angels, about 200 feet tall standing behind me and Ate Tanette. As I prophesy the word of the Lord, these two huge angels spoke the same words that I proclaimed amplifying them a million times in its force and intensity! The prophetic sound was so strong that it became like a mighty wind that blew upon the great mountain before us beating upon it with such unrelenting force that it disintegrated like a huge sand dune being blown away by a mighty sand storm. It was through this prophetic encounter that the Lord spoke to me that IFP spearhead and mobilize the Body of Christ to hold a 72- hour Worship, Warfare and Intercession (72hWWI) chain throughout the nation. I immediately emailed the detailed instruction of the Lord to the IFP Board which they readily confirmed and affirmed. Immediately, IFP trumpeted this prophetic event to the whole prayer network to set this 72HWWI as soon as possible! Like King Jehoshaphat of old, worship will be our warship to protect our nation and contend for our glorious prophetic destiny!
