MINISTRY AT THE ALTAR OF INCENSE
"Now it came about while he was performing his
priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division, according to
the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of
the Lord and burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer
outside at the hour of the incense offering. And the angel of the Lord appeared
to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense." --
Luke 1:8-11
The Order of Progression
-
Zechariah was chosen to minister to the
Lord.
?
-
The people all responded as they were in
prayer at the "hour of incense."
?
-
Zechariah is now ministering at the altar
of incense (prayer).
?
-
What went up (incense/prayer) was cast back
down to earth in the form of a visitation. (That
which goes up must come down!)
?
-
Angelic activity is released.
?
-
A proclamation of healing is made.
?
-
Zechariah goes home, and Elizabeth is
healed and gives birth to a son, a prophet named John the Baptist.
PRAYING DOWN THE
SUPERNATURAL TODAY
I am totally convinced that we are crossing the threshold in the spirit for a
surge of the supernatural and miraculous. While in Jerusalem on the Day of
Atonement on our recent Prayer Tour, I was given a detailed dream depicting
increase of authority over the demonic realms and outbreaks of the supernatural.
 Consider
the following: Mike and Cindy Jacobs in Dallas,
Texas, with Generals International, have just completed "40 Days of Prayer and
Fasting for the Miraculous." They are re-digging the wells of the Healing
Voice connected with Christ for the Nations and Gordon Lindsay. They
just finished ten nights of ministry, with many being healed.
Patricia King and team in Phoenix, Arizona, with Extreme
Prophetic is completing 40 Days of prayer and fasting in preparation for their
5-Day Dunamis Conference tomorrow through Wednesday. They also are contending
for miracles to be released in the Body of Christ. Phoenix is also a historic
city of the past, where many ministries moved in the supernatural and A. A.
Allen had his " Miracle Valley."
 Jesus
is the one who said, "If two or three agree . . ."
Consider this: what if whole cities came into agreement in prayer for a
visitation -- what would happen? "If two or three
agree . . ." Wow! I know both of these ministries, and they did
not consult with one another but with the Lord alone! But God is speaking loud
and clear -- the supernatural is His way -- miracles are on the increase!

PRAYING
DOWN MIRACLES -- An Article by
Bruce Steinbaum
Researchers contend that 80 percent of new Christians in South Asia come to
Christ as a direct result of some kind of supernatural encounter. Church
planters among the Gamit people of Gujarat, India, say that membership jumped
from zero to 60,000 in ten years as a result of hundreds of miraculous healings.
The Chinese church is growing faster than any other in the world. In one
province, 2,000 new churches were planted in three years. Why? Most observers
believe the answer lies in the Chinese propensity for prayer -- a habit formed
among those who have grown up with no hymnals, few Bibles, and much suffering.
In Saudi Arabia, some Christian nurses were asked to pray for a thirteen year
old girl dying of leukemia. The girl was visited by the Lord one night, though
she knew nothing about Jesus. The next day, she announced to her astonished
parents that she had met her Healer, and the entire family is now following
Christ.
The Gospel has penetrated even Islam's holiest city. In 1993, several Saudi
believers conducted a prayer march around the periphery of Mecca, site of the
annual Hajj or pilgrimage. They asked God to establish a church in the city and
to reveal Himself to the two million truth-seeking pilgrims who visit the city
every year to pay homage to Allah at the Ka'bah shrine. According to at least
two sources, Jesus made a special guest appearance at the 1994 Hajj -- declaring
to a group of Nigerian Moslems that He was indeed the One they were seeking.
Some Kurds reportedly have come to Christ as a result of intercessory prayer and
supernatural dreams and visions. One of these new Christians was converted a few
years ago in Turkish Kurdistan. An avowed atheist and the editor of an
influential Marxist magazine, this man was arrested in 1981. A Christian who
gave him a New Testament prayed that Jesus would reveal Himself in a series of
dreams. At their next meeting, the man became a Christian and announced that
Jesus is the One who cleanses sin.
In Tunis, as in other parts of the Arab world, God is employing dreams, visions,
and miraculous healings to draw truth-seekers to Himself. One dramatic example
of this phenomenon involved a group of Sufi Moslems in North Africa who were
chanting and dancing before Allah in hopes that he might reveal himself. They
say that Jesus appeared and declared that He is the true God.
According to missionaries in the region, many other people living in the
isolated reaches of the Sahara Desert have reported similar visions of the Lord,
and they are requesting Scriptures so they can learn more about Christ.
In Egypt, a Moslem military officer said he was visited by Jesus Christ in a
dream. Upon waking, he immediately sought out Christians in his unit to see if
they could provide him with a copy of God's Word. Finding only one believer in
his officer corps, he quietly asked if he could borrow the man's Bible. In a
manner reminiscent of Ananias' reluctant ministry to Saul of Tarsus, the
Christian cautiously agreed. After several days of pouring over the Gospels, the
officer became a disciple of Jesus. According to reports out of Cairo, this man
has become a bold witness.
A team of Christians reported that a Pakistani Moslem recently had a dream about
a Bible descending out of heaven. While he gazed at the book in amazement, the
man said he heard the voice of Jesus declaring, "This is My Word -- obey it."
Similar reports of dreams and visions are commonplace inside Pakistan.
Youth With A Mission leaders (a missionary group) in the Krasnodar region
recently received a plea for help from one of the only Christians living among
the Moslem Adegyi people. She lamented that Moslems were flooding the land with
Islamic literature and warned that the time was short to reach her people. One
leader in the missions group mentioned that he had dreamed about the Adegyis the
night before. Realizing that these were signals from the Holy Spirit, YWAM
launched a series of literature and street campaigns in the Adegyi region. As a
result, a church has been planted.
In Cuba, a divine visitation of healing descended upon a small town about 40
miles outside the capital. Everyone who walked into the church there was healed.
As news of this spread, people from other towns began arriving. They too were
healed. Eventually, people from all over the Island were coming and being
healed. This went on for six weeks. Tens of thousands were saved. Many churches
were planted, and interest in the Gospel rose nationwide because everyone had
heard the news. It was so powerful that even the Communist government could not
deny these events. (Most of these healings were a result of laying on of hands.)
"But Paul
(future apostle before his conversion), threatening with every breath and eager
to destroy every Christian. . . As he was nearing Damascus on this mission,
suddenly a brilliant light from heaven spotted down upon him! He fell to the
ground and heard a voice saying to him, 'Paul! Paul! Why are you persecuting
me?' 'Who is speaking, sir?' Paul asked. And the voice replied, 'I am Jesus, the
One you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city and await my further
instructions.'" -- Acts 9:1, 3-6
"The night
before he (Peter the Apostle) was to be executed, he was asleep, double-chained
between two soldiers with others standing guard before the prison gate, when
suddenly there was a light in the cell and an angel of the Lord stood beside
Peter! The angel slapped him on the side to awaken him and said, 'Quick! Get
up!' And the chains fell off his wrists! Then the angel told him, 'Get dressed
and put on your shoes.' And he did. 'Now put on your coat and follow me!' the
angel ordered. So Peter left the cell, following the angel."
-- Acts 12:6-9
Many Argentine church leaders say that the
church growth boom in this South American country is a result of "spiritual
warfare" against the powers of darkness. Eduardo Lorenzo, pastor of the Adrogue
Baptist Church in Buenos Aires, says his small congregation began growing
rapidly in 1987, immediately after church members fasted and prayed against a
demonic spirit.
"Until then, virtually no one who resided in Adrogue had ever been converted,"
Lorenzo says. "Now 40% of the church members are from Adrogue." His church,
which was 70 years old, had never had more than 100 members, but it grew to 600
members in three years after the demon was challenged.
There are many other examples of God helping people. Space prevents printing all
of them. However, you may use the following to guide you in praying for other
types of miracles
Pray that God would come and perform the following miracles:
-
Heal the deaf, dumb, and/or blind.
?
-
Deliver the demonically possessed.
?
-
Heal those with mental problems.
?
-
Raise the dead. This happened in China,
where
Jesus raised a recently buried girl and sent her
home.
?
-
Heal the crippled and lame.
?
-
Nourish those who are starving to death.
?
-
Visit the unsaved and tell them what church
to attend and how to get there.
FROM THE LIFE OF JOHN G.
LAKE
We need to see another powerful healing movement occur like that of John G.
Lake. He moved in great power and was used to great effect in South Africa
and much of the northwest part of the United States. The following are newspaper
articles from the Spokane, Washington, secular newspaper in 1924 of a healing
parade led by Reverend Lake.
+++++++++++++++++
?
Thursday, August 7, 1924 -- HEALED BY
GOD PARADE
Expect 250 members of the Church Elect to enter into what they hope will be an
impressive testimony to the power of God to heal; about 250 persons, who claim
to have been healed of their diseases through prayer, will parade on the
downtown streets Saturday afternoon, August 16, at 3:00. A permit for the use of
50 automobiles, and a band, to parade at that time has been issued to Dr. John
G. Lake, head of the Church Elect, by the city council.
In speaking of the parade today, Lake
said, "We believe in testifying to the power of God at every opportunity. It is
not possible to get the message we have to teach before everyone. We believe
that when the citizens of Spokane see this group of persons, many of them once
at death's door with incurable diseases, it will be a forceful and unforgettable
testimony that God does heal."
The regular Thursday night healing meeting will be held in the tents at Ash and
Chelan at 8:00.
Monday, August 18, 1924 -- HEALED BY GOD PARADE
Fifty autos carry 250 persons healed by Lake's prayers. Thousands of Spokane
people witnessed the unique parade of "healed" persons from the "Church Elect,"
when they rode through downtown streets in automobiles Saturday afternoon.
About 50 automobiles were in line Saturday, and more than 250 persons who claim
to have been healed of all manner of diseases by the power of God were in the
cars. The automobiles were placarded with signs which told of the diseases from
which the occupants were cured.
The cures affected by the prayers of Dr. John G. Lake, according to the signs,
were: nervous prostration, pneumonia, diabetes, paralysis, tuberculosis,
adenoids, shingles, flu, eczema, leakage of the heart, rheumatism, and broken
arches.
The feature of the parade was a delivery car containing more than a dozen
children, and it bore the sign: "born painlessly" on each side. The mothers of
these children had no assistance in childbirth other than prayer, they declare.
Dr. John G. Lake, preceded by a band, led the parade. The cars traveled downtown
streets for more than an hour.
A fitting conclusion, it would seem to the series of meetings. Yes, there still
were the skeptics in the community, but the ones who were healed by God will
never forget the occasion when the power of God healed them as they had the
faith to believe for it.

OUR DESPERATE RESPONSE IS
NEEDED
Repentance Needed
Some of us need to repent of our fear and prejudice against a "faith emphasis."
While we need to be broken, authentic vessels, there is no substitute for bold
faith. I invite you to join me in repenting of our "fear of faith" because of
what we think it might look like, what others have made it look like, and our
fear of what it really does look like! Faith is almost always spelled R-I-S-K!
Let's Minister at the Altar
May the prayer movement continue to grow, and may there be a restoration of
leaders and people of prayer as in the days of Zechariah. Priests (that's you!),
take your place. Minister at the altar of prayer. Let the time of the incense
offering come forth.
Expect!
Let's believe God to pour down supernatural encounters, healings, and miracles,
as He has done in times past. Let's expect an invasion of Holy Spirit activity
in response to our prayer invitations!
Blessings to each of you this beautiful fall season!
In Christ Jesus!

"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 in 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 bride chamber by the One who longs for you! Arise, Oh Sleeper,
as the Lord kisses you awake!

"The Seer"
by Jim W. Goll
$13.99
Book
?
|
| ? |
 |
? |
|
Join Jim Goll on an exciting and insightful journey into
the visionary world of "The Seer"!
The prophetic movements in church history and in
contemporary life are fed by two mighty streams: the prophet, whose revelation
is primarily verbal, and the seer, whose revelation is more visionary in nature.
While the role of the prophet is familiar, less is known about the seer
dimension. To many people, these visionary prophets remain mysterious,
other-worldly, and even strange.
Knowledge dispels misunderstanding. Join author Jim W. Goll on an exciting and
insightful journey into this lesser-known dimension - the visionary world of the
seer. You will discover the prophetic power of dreams, visions, and life under
the open heavens.
How does visionary revelation "happen"? Can it be trusted? Where does it fit
into the life of the church today? Can any believer become a seer, or is this a
prophetic dimension reserved for the specially-gifted?
The Seer will move your heart and stir up your hunger for intimacy
with God, because "the seer's goal is to reveal the man Christ Jesus!"
?
John Sandford: "Jim W. Goll's 'The Seer' a Most Worthy
Successor to 'The Elijah Task'"
 "If
all you have is the Spirit, you can blow up, but if you have the Spirit and the
Word, you will grow up. Nowhere have I found that adage more amply and wisely
elucidated than in Jim Goll's The Seer.
"Jim couples breathtaking revelation with wisdom, piercing insight with
discretion, high spirituality with balance and accountability, new knowledge and
understanding with exciting mystical experience.
"The Seer is a boat to shoot over the dangerous rocks of the rapids into
the high seas of prophetic expression and fruitfulness in the Lord. Having
pioneered the modern prophetic movement almost thirty years ago with the book,
The
Elijah Task, I find in Jim's book The Seer
a most worthy successor. To me, it is an honor to recommend this book to all. My
hope and prayer is that you will not just read it, but live it to the max for
the glory of our Lord." - John Sandford, Co-founder, Elijah House
International, Author,
The Elijah Task
 "Jim
Goll has blessed the Body of Christ with a greater understanding of the
prophetic voice of the Lord. He has given much biblical insight and personal
experience that helps us understand the unique ministry of the Prophet and the
Seer. Also, valuable guidelines and principles are given concerning how to
discern a true word from the Lord and how to properly minister that word. This
book will be a very valuable resource for those who desire to be used in
prophetic ministry." - Dr. Bill Hamon, Chairman and Founder, Christian
International, Author of
Apostles, Prophets and
the Coming Move of God
 "James
Goll's book The Seer is long overdue. Few can or do write like him. He
blends a rare combination of being both scholarly and very inspiring. It's
fascinating to me that, though I operate prophetically, it has been the seers in
my life, sent by God, who have given me the most significant revelation and
direction of the ministry of The Elijah List, as well as keeping me in touch
with the plans of God for my life." - Steve Shultz, The Elijah List,
www.elijahlist.com
 "Jim
Goll's profound work, The Seer, is an excellent tool to educate the
Church on the gift of foresight and its significance in the lives of God's
people. The principles shared in this book will address misconceptions about
'seeing' and prepare the reader to experience the awesome benefits of this
ministry. I highly recommend The Seer to those who desire to know 'what
is yet to come.'" - Dr. Kingsley A. Fletcher, International Speaker,
Government Advisor, Author and Pastor, Research Triangle Park, NC
 "For
all those who are seers and have wondered if anyone understood you, this book is
a gift for you. Jim Goll has clearly and scripturally opened the way for the
seer gift to be used in the Body of Christ. Fascinating book! You will love it!"
- Cindy Jacobs, Generals of Intercession
?
 "Navigating
the unseen realm can be both enticing and challenging as believers seek to grow
deeper in the gifts of the Spirit, particularly related to that of the seer
gifting. Enticing, because it is awe-inspiring to come in contact with the power
and presence of the Lord through spiritual experiences that are often part of
that gifting. Challenging, because it is critical that the Word of God and
spiritual disciplines, such as prayer and intimacy, remain the solid footing on
which revelational experiences are interpreted.
"Jim Goll has succeeded in presenting a comprehensive study of the prophet/seer
gift, sharing substantial biblical understanding as well as experience from his
own spiritual journey. As with Jim's previous books, this one could well become
a manual for those pursuing the seer anointing." - Jane Hansen,
President, Aglow International
?
Concerning Jim Goll's book, "The Seer." It is an
experience. The first time I read it there were several times when I had to lay
it down because the spirit of revelation was so strong I could not catch my
breath. It felt like I was in a whirlwind. On the night that I finished the book
the first time, I had an experience with the Lord that has absolutely changed
me. I had a beautiful visitation. This book is very timely for the church. I
believe it will help to break open our "God boxes" that keep us from
experiencing the person of the Holy Spirit. I have to say, this book was truly
inspired from above. -Sue Lewis, Wingate NC

"The Lost Art of Intercession"
by Jim Goll
$13.99
Book
?
|
| ? |
 |
? |
|
Two hundred years ago, this verse
was burned into the hearts of Moravian refugees in tiny Herrnhut in eastern
Germany under Count von Zinzendorf. They committed themselves to restore this
"Watch of the Lord" through 24 hours of unbroken prayer and intercession that
continued for more than 100 years! God is out to restore the lost art of
intercession, and He is calling His warriors to once again mount the "Watch of
the Lord."
When God's people send "up" the incense of prayer and worship, God will send
"down" supernatural power, anointing, and acts of intervention. Jim Goll paints
a picture of prophetic clarity and urgency in this anointed work that sounds
God's clarion call to His Church: This is the season for us to mount the walls
with prayer and praise - and restore the lost art of intercession!
