'LOCK DOWN'" PLUS: "Confessions of a Fasting Housewife"

 Dear
Gatekeepers,
Bless you!
I would like to ask you to read and pray this word through.
Together, let us call for Gideon's Army to arise to the glory of God!
Catherine Brown
"GIDEON"
In prayer Friday (August 19, 2005), I heard a sound in Heaven and the word "Gideon"
was shouted with incredible force. This first, powerful proclamation caused a rumbling
that spoke of a massive impetus and movement. The noise resonated from the heavens
to the earth. The effect was ground breaking!
As the word "Gideon" was proclaimed repeatedly, huge angels, one by one, began to
emerge from a place of hiddeness in many nations. The angels had been covered over
with white feathers. As they stood up, they were robed in white tunics and had a
golden sash around them draped from their shoulders to their waists. It was as though
the angels had been waiting, undercover, for a signal from Heaven to begin a particular
assignment. They were now receiving their "marching orders."
As the angels stood to their feet ready to serve Christ, there
was a simultaneous rising up of many young men and women alongside of older men
and women. The spiritual awakening amongst the angels and the nations was causing
a "Gideon's Army" to assemble and arise around the world!
"LOCK IN"
The second audible proclamation I heard from Heaven was, "Lock in!"
This spoken command caused men and women to stand side by side, joining with the
mighty angel in each nation.
This, in turn, caused a knock-on effect of young men and women
being joined together with an older man or woman (in like manner to when one person
is bound to another for a three-legged race). The two generations became inseparable.
This speaks of a locking in to the heartbeat of God, the mind of Christ, and partnering
together as Gideon's army as an end-time army of servant-hearted lovers of Jesus.
The mission is to overcome the enemy and win the multitudes for Christ!
This is a time for the joining of generations with apostolic,
prophetic oversight and wisdom, to release a massive, Holy Spirit-inspired spiritual
awakening in the earth.
"LOCK DOWN"
Finally, I heard a third audible proclamation -- "Lock down!" -- and, with this,
I saw multitudes of (smaller) angels being placed on assignment on the borders of
nations and on college campuses across the world. The angels formed an impenetrable
hedge for the Kingdom of God. God was stationing and positioning his troops (both
angelic and human) all across the earth in strategic positions.
I began to prophesy with all my heart and strength that the "Gideon shout"
will be heard, received, responded to, and proclaimed in the nations and that all
who are called for this assignment will hear and respond immediately. The Gideon's
army will be unstoppable. This awakening will not only be in campuses in the USA,
but will fan out across the globe and will touch many young men and women in work
places, in addition to educational establishments.
Even as I write the revelation down, I see a blueprint falling from Heaven, and
believe the Lord is going to release a strategic, global blueprint for the outworking
of this Kingdom assignment.
"THE LORD IS WITH YOU MIGHTY WARRIOR"
The Lord raised Gideon up at a time of tremendous oppression. Every time the Israelites
planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern peoples invaded
the country, camped on the land, ruined the crops, and killed all the livestock.
They invaded the land and ravaged it, causing the Israelites to call out to the
Lord for help.
Into such desperate times the prophetic voice of God was heard
and the angel of the Lord visited Gideon: "The Lord
is with you, mighty warrior" (Judges 6:12).
STEALTH WARRIORS ARE OVERCOMERS!
Ultimately, the angel of the Lord instructed Gideon to go in the strength he had,
despite Gideon's protestations that he was from the weakest clan and he was the
smallest in his family.
Gideon presented an offering to the Lord, which was acceptable
to God; when Gideon saw the angel of the Lord face to face and lived, he built an
altar to the Lord and called it "Peace." He tore down his father's Asherah pole;
he blew a trumpet to gather warriors, sent out messengers, and spoke with God. He
assembled more than 30,000 potential warriors and allowed the Lord to sift that
army down to just 300 men. He then received a blueprint from the Lord to divide
them into three companies of one hundred men each.
God instructed Gideon on the weapons of his warfare (trumpets,
empty jars, and torches). Gideon overcame his fear and led his men into battle,
facing a huge enemy and, in human terms, was totally outnumbered! But Scripture reveals
that Gideon's stealth mission was God's perfect strategy to rout the enemy. When
Gideon and his men blew their trumpets, broke their jars, and held up their torches,
proclaiming, "A sword for the Lord and for Gideon," the Lord caused the men throughout
the enemy camp to turn on each other!
APOSTOLIC OVERSIGHT AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCIA
The Lord is calling forth a Gideon's army in this hour that is a worshipping, praying,
overcoming army. Gideon's army is an army of ordinary people, surrendered to God,
serving Him with all their hearts, and obedient to His every command. Yet, Gideon's
army is a radical band of believers who will do anything for Jesus, including laying
their own lives down for others.
Gideon's army will receive supernatural military intelligence
to be strategic overcomers! Gideon's army is an army that will be gathered, mobilized,
and sent on assignment by the Holy Spirit and the generals He is raising in these
hours with apostolic authority and compassion.
THE MULTITUDES WILL BE WON FOR CHRIST
Today, as in Gideon's day, many nations are spiritually impoverished, under the
rod of the oppressor, and ravaged by enemy activity. Today, Israel faces extreme
spiritual hardship. Today, Jesus makes a call in the earth for Gideon's army to
arise.
Like Gideon, the children of God may believe to see God face
to face; we will build an altar of faith in our hearts as we receive the anointing
to be those who will confront ungodly activity in our nations (the equivalent of
tearing down Asherah poles). If we listen with all His heart, we will be given strategies
to plunder the enemy's camp and see the multitudes won for Christ.
Gideon's army received God's peace in the midst of battle.
We, too, must enter the battle from a place of rest.
A SPECIFIC WORD FOR ISRAEL
Gideon placed a fleece before the Lord, and the Lord demonstrates His faithfulness
and power through the miracle of the appearance of dew (once upon the fleece and
once upon the ground). This prophetic proclamation has a two fold focus for spiritual
awakening -- for the Gentiles and for Israel.
It is significant that dew is mentioned just before the Lord delivers the Israelites
through his servant Gideon. Just a few scriptural examples of dew reveal its symbolic
significance:
DEW AND FAVOR:
" . . . His favor is like dew on the grass."
Proverbs 19:12
DEW AND HARVEST:
" . . . cloud of dew in the heat of the harvest."
Isaiah 18:4
DEW AND RESURRECTION / SPIRITUAL AWAKENING (FIRST FOR
ISRAEL THEN THE CHURCH):
"But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You
who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the
morning; the earth will give birth to her dead." Isaiah 26:19
DEW: HUMILITY AND STRENGTH - JESUS IS DEW TO ISRAEL:
"I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like
a lily . . . like a cedar of Lebanon." Hosea 14:5
DEW: THE REMNANT OF JACOB:
"The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or
linger for mankind." Micah 5:7
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Jesus calls us to pour our lives out as a love
offering in prayer, in praise, and in radical love.
Gideon's Army, arise and raise a mighty shout to Jesus in the nations! May God's
generals arise and take their place to lead the companies of Christ to victory!
May we listen together, prayerfully, earnestly, yielded, and with humility for Jesus'
blueprint for harvest!
The Lord answered, "I will be
with you . . . " Judges 6:16
Your sister and comrade in Christ,
Catherine Brown

"Confessions of a Fasting Housewife"
One Woman's Journey with
Jesus
by Catherine Brown
$12.00 Book
|
| |
 |
|
If you have always wanted to fast . . . this is the book you need to read!
This book is more than a spiritual
guide to fasting -- it is a practical primer on the "dos and don'ts" of fasting.
As you read about Catherine Brown's experiences, you will find yourself
empathizing and, at times, outright laughing at her candid confessions of the
emotional ups and downs involved with fasting in the 21st century.
Spirituality and practicality meet head-on in Confessions of a Fasting
Housewife. Get ready to learn everything your pastor never told you about
fasting!
Then . . . fast!
 "As
I read Catherine's book, Confessions of a Fasting Housewife, I felt as
though I were feasting at banquet table. Even though this is a book about
fasting, I felt as if I were dining at a table filled with great delicacies from
my heavenly Father of mercy, grace, and love.
"This book is truly a gift to the Body of Christ. God has lavished us with the
gift of Catherine's vulnerability, and He has comforted us with the grace that
flows from her day-to-day struggles and longings. She has opened her heart and
laid bare her feelings so that we would be lifted up and drawn closer to Jesus.
"Catherine truly has an anointing to assist others in loving God. Through her
honesty and humility, she untangles and tears down the religious complications
of loving Him. Catherine makes loving Him a simple and pleasurable experience
once again. As we share details of her life, we cannot help but be pulled into a
realm of longing for Him. Confessions of a Fasting Housewife is a
masterpiece of mercy that will open your heart and mind to receive the grace to
love God more than ever before.
"This is not just another book about fasting -- indeed, it is a journey of
grace! I found myself captivated by Catherine's life. I applauded her victories,
laughed with delight at her housewife jargon, and wept over the revelations she
shares. The more I read, the more I had to read; I was unable to put it down. I
felt like I had crawled into the lap of God, and became wrapped in His arms of
love. I wholeheartedly endorse Confessions of a Fasting Housewife, and I
know that this wonderful book will forever bless and change your life as it has
mine. Catherine Brown is a very dear sister whose prophetic voice is a fresh
breeze -- her love for God is contagious! Love and blessings!"

"THE NORMAL, THE
DEEP AND THE CRAZY"

When You Order The Normal, The Deep and The Crazy You Will Also Receive a

Principles for Harvest for Absolutely No_Charge!
This book is a testimony of
Catherine's journey of healing with Jesus from childhood abuse, domestic
violence, alcohol, rape as a young adult, and deliverance from the occult into
the miracle of freedom in Christ. Jim Goll has the following to say in the
foreword:
 "Written
in an amazingly transparent style, Catherine Brown's book The Normal, The
Deep and The Crazy adds a much needed gem to the prayer and prophetic
movements in these days. I have had the joy of interacting with Catherine over
the Internet over the past few years and meeting her in person. I appreciate,
immensely, her humility and genuine heart for Jesus.
"Having been in the prayer and prophetic movement for several years myself, I
look for clear voices that attempt to bring forth a word that honors the Lord
and edifies and challenges the body of Christ. This is what I found in the
ministry of Jesus through this clay vessel. Catherine Brown is a quick learner
and humble servant. She is one of the new breed; a faceless generation of
Esthers, Daniels, Josephs, and Deborahs whom the Lord is raising up to influence
this Impact Generation.
"With a whole heart I gladly endorse the content of this inspiring book. I trust
it will do for you what it did for me. After reading The Normal, The Deep
and The Crazy, I found myself more in love with our Father God who desires to
see restoration happen in the lives of countless numbers of warriors in waiting.
I sense the Holy Spirit saying, 'Come out of your caves! I will embrace you! I
will restore you! I will revive you! The best is yet ahead of you! Just as I
have done in the life of this broken vessel - so I will do for you!'
"To you, the reader, I commend these telling truths from a pilgrim of faith. May
the Lord impart to you the spirit of encouragement that all things are possible
to those who believe! To you, Catherine, blessings and thank you."
- James W. Goll,
Encounters Network

"If You Know WHO
You Are, Then You Can Become What God Destined You to Be!" (1 CD)
by Patricia King
 The
Church is in a season of shift. During times of trouble and pressure there is
only one place to turn . . . to the Lord, where He WILL download revelation of
Who He is, and Who you are -- because of Him.
One of Satan's major attacks is against your identity in Christ. When he
attacked Jesus, he said, "IF you are the Son of God . . . " The devil's ploys
REMAIN the same today. In the place of revelation, the Lord will infuse you with
the knowledge that you, too, are a son of God. Learn how to come into His
presence, be clothed in your identity (which includes your destiny) and, from
there, you can and you will establish God's Kingdom where He's called you to
establish it!
* Do you know that YOU are, personally, God's hope, and that He is waiting for
you?
* Do you want to know how to use your God-given keys to open Heaven on your
behalf?
* Find out how and why Satan persecutes you in your identity.
Are you longing to see the enemy defeated once and for all in your life? If so,
then Patricia's teaching will take you on a journey that is both exciting and
encouraging! After hearing this message, you will come away full of hope that
truly your circumstances can and will change!
"Embarking On a
Journey of Intimacy with the Lord" (2 CDs)
by Todd Bentley
 Let's
go on a journey together through the Song of Solomon -- a journey into intimacy.
Come away with the Lord and let Him "kiss you with the kisses of His mouth" --
this is Love's cry!
* Have you ever wondered what it takes to be full of the manifest presence of
God? How full can we be, and how much can His glory change us?
* Do you want to be embraced by the Lord?
* Do you long for the Lord to be more able to do awesome things in your life?
Discover the results of the passionate pursuit of the Lord through prayer -- the
King WILL bring you into His chambers!
Todd serves up fresh revelation into why sometimes there is a divine withholding
of God's presence. He also reveals why, at times, it seems impossible to find
God's presence, even though you are seeking HIM, with all your heart.
Discover "10 robbers" of intimacy, and how to defeat them.
And wouldn't you love to know 6 keys to awakening your heart to passion and
excitement for the Lord?
"Fearlessly
Praying For More From God Because . . . 'If it's Bigger than You, Then it Must
Be God!'" (1 CD)
by
Heidi Baker
 Do
you desire to be the very Bride that the Lord desires? A "laid down Lover" (as
Heidi refers to those who seek this place) -- a person who lives in the secret
place and dwells inside His heart?
What happens when you become a fearless Lover? This is the answer: You will
believe the BOOK -- the Bible, and CHANGE the world.
Soaking in the secret place –- if you get there -- you will get a word from God
that will tell you things that you know are impossible for you to accomplish --
in YOUR strength. If it is bigger than you, then it MUST be God! God loves
impossible things. He specializes in them. Asking God for the IMPOSSIBLE is what
we should pray for on a daily basis.
Discover keys to an unending flow of intimacy and strength with the Lord.
Heidi shares how God is looking for people who are so dead that He can just
breathe HIS breath of life into them and then win nations. God is about to throw
a banquet and millions will come to Him!
Come lay your head on the Lord's chest and rest in His radical love for you as
you minister radical love to Him!
"How to Be
'Kissed Awake' by the Lord" (1 CD)
by Denny Cline
 Note
by Steve Shultz: Several of my staff have almost begged me to use this CD
for weeks now. They won't let me rest until I make it available to you. Who am I
to resist the wisdom of such wonderful and discerning employees?
Denny Cline, my own pastor, shares the parallel between the fairy tale of
Sleeping Beauty and the condition of the Church. Even as Sleeping Beauty was
deceived by an evil one, and fell into a deep slumber, so the Church has been
deceived by Satan. And, as a result, we have been in a deep spiritual slumber.
The good news is that the King of Kings is about to kiss the sleepers! Be
encouraged! The Church is about to be awakened by the passion of the Lord that
no enemy can prevail against. Be thrilled by the message that you are being
called into the bridal chamber by the One who longs for you! Arise, Oh Sleeper,
as the Lord kisses you awake!
