Intro from Julie A. Smith:

In just returning from Thailand two weeks ago, I appreciate this prophetic word of the Lord for Asia by Chuck Pierce, in which he includes Thailand, my home country and where I was born. This is a powerful prophetic word for Asia and the nations of the earth.

This recent trip to Thailand was unlike any other trip I've been on. I visited North Thailand for the first time, where God told me Revival would start. 

Before my trip, I didn't know that I would be visiting the most northern city in Thailand, Mae Sai, which is at the border of Myanmar. From there I visited specific locations bordering Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, and spoke at a couple of churches and we declared "Revival and God's Peace" to come over the region. 

It was an amazing time of reconnecting with ministry friends, making new connections, and seeing the "birthing of dreams and promises" taking place, which has been spoken about greatly in this season. It was a time of "releasing decrees" as Chuck shares:

"I am beginning to give revelation over ley lines and power lines over nations and continents. I am releasing angels to war along with you and bring revelation over power sources and strong men. You will release decrees, and you will see giants coming down and My glory rising. 

The world is Mine, and today I am hovering and holding the earth and its nations in My hands. The Father has given them to Me and I am giving them to you as your inheritance. Call out and come into One New Man for the earth is Mine."

If you have been standing and praying for specific lands, regions and nations, you will be greatly encouraged by this word. At the end, there is a powerful prayer declaration that Chuck Pierce shares and I would encourage you all to declare it over your location(s).

This New Apostolic Move 

Will Penetrate!" 

And 

"Each Nation Will Arise!"

Newsletter from Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Dear Pentecost Celebrants:

This morning's 5:15 Movement Prayer Meeting was just amazing! On this Pentecost morning, the voice of Holy Spirit was so clear and powerful.

When we began, we heard the Lord say:, "This is a day of diffusing My Spirit into My people." 

To diffuse means to move outward, to spread through or over a wide area, or cause to become widely known. 

I saw the fathoms of the deep speaking to the deep within us, diffusing times, words, sounds and seasons. The fathoms are speaking of the diffusing coming up and out of us in this season.

On Pentecost, the sound from Heaven came and diffused. 

THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY came into one place and fanned out all over. I see that what we decree here will move over the continents. Holy Spirit will go even to Antarctica and Alaska where ice formed during the ice age. What comes in during this age will refresh and go out again. San Marcos, Texas will have a visitation.

Here is a portion of other prophetic revelation that came forward:

One New Man - This is the Time of the Greater Works

"I am coming down from Heaven, and I am pulling My rivers together. My rivers within My people will become one mighty rushing water that begins to spread out into places that they have not touched before. This is a day of collecting the waters again that I might pour out upon places of the earth that are dry. 

These waters will begin to overwhelm that which has been so depleted and overwhelmed, and that which has been so separated. These waters will begin to draw together.

"Where there has been many, they will now become one. Where things need to be drawn together, they will now be drawn together into one place. This is a pulling together of My people that the earth has not seen. 

Within the movement of the pulling together, I will begin to demonstrate the power of My being that will flood through the doors around the earth, and cause a ground that has been dry, and a people that have been weary, and a people depleted and divided to come into a One New Man.

"Fiery trials will make One New Man for the times ahead and the new things I will send you into. You will carry a new message of greater works into the nations. This takes the One New Man! You will come into agreements that generations before could not form. 

This is the time of the greater works.

"At creation My Spirit hovered, and when I spoke, all of the earth shifted. At Pentecost My Spirit hovered, and when I released My voice, the whole earth shifted. 

I am hovering again, and the earth will shift at the sound of My voice.

There is a whirlwind coming to places in the earth. In this whirlwind is fire! You will be like the three friends of Daniel in the fiery furnace. Where the whirlwind of fire comes, I will visit! 

(Photo viaflickr.com)

"The Poles are shifting and My people are being reoriented. My people will no longer be oriented by what the world says is up and down, but will have a third Heaven orientation. I am ready to draw in people that have yet to been drawn in. I will cause many around to be confused.

"My glory will fall on those who have not known My glory. Because you have tasted My goodness, you will be tasted by others. Even words that have fallen in crevices throughout the earth will now begin to rise up and manifest – just as Joel prophesied. And in this day of diffusion, that which was prophesied thousands of days before began to manifest."

"I Speak to You, Asia..."

"When I enter Asia, the fire of the seven-headed dragon that is ready to blow will be stopped and cooled by the power of My Spirit. 

The dragon's breath now will grow hot in the earth, but My people will be like a cool drink of water, and those who have never experienced My joy will now be filled with My joy.

"In China, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, I will fall. 

I will come to Kazakhstan. 

And Russia will be awakened because I will fall on the people of Asian descent. 

I am hovering in ways that you have never seen. Singapore now will be realigned in My Spirit. Thailand will have divisions broken down. A Oneness of My Spirit will arise upon the island of Taiwan. The West Coast will know that I am alive. That which has been divided over the centuries will now become one again. I began One New Man and now One New Man will be seen.

"I speak to you, Asia. For in the early days you closed the door on My first apostolic move toward you. But this time in this day, this new apostolic move will penetrate! I am standing at the door, and will cause My fire to circle you. I am coming in strength and fire this time!

"Only the nations who rise above their religion to embrace the One New Man that I am arising in the earth will be the nations that begin to follow Me and that I bless in new ways.  What has been divided, I will heal. 

Where the power of fornication and adultery has caused My presence to retract from the earth, even there I will heal the breach where you have scattered your seed. 

(Photo via en.wikipedia.org)

"Seeds will come back into the rows that I have prepared, through the plowing of My people. Many people have scattered seeds through their division, but now a preparation has come through the plowing of My people, and those seeds will be brought back and My people who have been scattered and divided will become one.

"Each Nation Will Arise"

"I am beginning to give revelation over ley lines and power lines over nations and continents. I am releasing angels to war along with you and bring revelation over power sources and strong men. You will release decrees, and you will see giants coming down and My glory rising. The world is Mine, and today I am hovering and holding the earth and its nations in My hands. The Father has given them to Me and I am giving them to you as your inheritance. Call out and come into One New Man for the earth is Mine."

"My dancing hand is coming over the seven continents. My breath is upon the waters. I am gathering together what will pull the end time portion into place. Watch My breath on the waters. South America, watch the domain of Heaven invading your portion. I am coming into the caves of South America.

"Malaysia, now arise with the fullness of the Godhead, in the remnant. The seeds that have been strewn are now blossoming up, for such a time as this. The demonstration of My power will cause the Oneness of the cry of Jesus, My Son, to manifest. Each nation will arise, and the ends of the continents will be the diffusers, activated to move us across. Watch My breath and whirlwinds on the waters. Rivers will be rearranged. Waters will flow differently. 

Many on paths who are headed in one direction will be knocked down and rise up with scales removed from their eyes."

Declarative Prayer:

We decree the diffusing power of Holy Spirit today. We invite You to have access to those who profess the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord, make us one, diffused with Your power.

We invite that which will cause those who have sat at the Gate Beautiful to rise up in a new way. 

Many have begged, but today there is an interacting of the Spirit of God in the earth with those that are crying out in one accord, that will cause the doors and gates of Your present synagogues and churches to change greatly. The doors of the Church and the gates will change in such a way that the government will take notice. 

 In nations, in cities, in America, we ask and cry out for a change in the door of your Church. From this movement let the doors and the Gate Beautiful that leads into Your present places of worship, become demonstrations.

Paul Keith Davis: A Confirming Word: "The Cloud is Moving" (The Elijah List)

Paul Keith Davis: A Confirming Word: "The Cloud is Moving"

Intro From Julie A. Smith, Managing Editor

The Elijah List :

Recently I heard the Lord say, "The cloud is moving." I immediately thought of a word we previously posted by Paul Keith Davis in 2009, and the dream I had before he posted this word. In my dream, I was driving in a car with Paul Keith – he was driving, I was in the passenger seat, and he was speaking "words of wisdom" to me. I knew in my dream that he represented wisdom and it was time for the Body to move where God was going – with His wisdom as our guide.

I shared what the Lord just spoke to me with Steve Shultz, and Steve was receiving revelation from the Lord himself about the Body of Christ as an "army beginning to move out in formation". Paul Keith's article below was a confirming word of what God was speaking to Steve from this article excerpt: The specific verse that I was reading in my dream that was translated "increase, increase, increase, increase, increase" was actually Numbers 10:28 saying, "This was the order of march of the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out."

We contacted Paul Keith last week about our revelation, and he told us, "Since I first brought that word it has been the most confirmed message that I have ever preached." And you'll read about these confirmations he received in his new introduction below.

Paul Keith also did a teaching called "Anointed for Valor and Victory" which goes along with his article. He is offering this free teaching to our readers – Click Here for the link to the free MP3 download.

Here's an excerpt from his teaching download: "I knew that we're standing on the brink of a new day, that the cloud was about to move, that there was going to bring a breaking of the camp, and that there would be a standard that would go before us and a new anointing that would be available in this season of the Spirit, and we're right in the middle of it right now..."

Be encouraged in all that God is doing in our midst to move the Body forward...

Engaging the Revelatory Realm of Heaven by Paul Keith Davis $15.99 Book

This Time He's Coming as a Lion  by Bob Jones, Paul Keith Davis and Bill Johnson 2-set Teaching $12.00 $9.00

Paul Keith Davis:

A Confirming Word:
"The Cloud is Moving"

New Introduction From Paul Keith Davis:

"The Cloud is Moving" was taken from the vision I had involving Numbers 10. Since I first brought that word it has been the most confirmed message that I have ever preached.

While in Cape Town, South Africa, I quoted from the blessings of Issachar and Zebulun in Deuteronomy 33:18-19, talking about the "abundance of the sea and the hidden treasures of the sand." On that same day I received a dream from a trusted sister in Alabama. 

The dream occurred at 5:07 a.m. Two days later a 507 carat diamond was found in a diamond mine outside of Johannesburg. It was one of the 20th largest diamonds ever discovered. Also, while in Adelaide, Australia, I prophesied from this passage and five days later a rare pink diamond was found.

A similar thing happened while bringing this message in the UK, and a huge gold find was reported involving a 1300-year-old treasure that had been buried in the seventh century. One of the items in that treasure was a gold strip with an inscription from Numbers 10:35. 

(Photo: This gold strip carries the Latin inscription: "Rise up O Lord, and may Thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate Thee be driven from Thy face." -courtesy BBC News.) 

Later again, it happened when we shared it in Ireland and a ship full of silver was found shortly thereafter.

I believe the Lord is confirming that He is sending a three-fold anointing to help prepare us for the coming of His Manifest Presence. 

That would be the lion-like nature of God represented by the Standard of Judah to combat fear, anxiety and depression and to make us warlike with courage and valor; a thorough corporate understanding of the times and seasons represented by the blessing of Issachar so that our faith can rest in the revelation of God; and a quest for habitation illustrated through Zebulun; God not merely moving through us but resting in us in His fullness.

It is my hope and prayer that now is the timing for this to be more thoroughly released. We certainly have the sense that one season is closing and a new one is emerging.

Kindest regards and blessings,

Paul Keith Davis

This word by Paul Keith Davis was previously posted on The Elijah List on October 26, 2009:

The Cloud is Moving

I love it when God confirms His word! Around September 11, I was given an extraordinarily vivid dream that has since provided a source of great encouragement. In the dream I saw a hand being extended holding an open Bible. I was told to turn to a certain chapter of the Bible and begin to read. After reading several verses in this passage I came upon a "Scripture" that simply said, "increase, increase, increase, increase, increase."

Obviously, there is no passage of Scripture that says this precisely, but it was a symbolic representation of God's desire to release escalating measures of increase for the coming days. 

The passage that I was reading was from Numbers 10. Admittedly, Numbers was not a book that has been on my radar in recent days. I have focused much of my attention on Revelation, Daniel, Zechariah and the Gospel of John. Therefore it was a seemingly random and obscure passage for me to read at the time, yet I knew the dream was from the Lord.

As a result, I determined not to tell anyone the specific passage that I was given so when the confirmation came I could have complete confidence that it was from the Lord. The following week I participated in a conference in Knoxville, Tennessee, that included Bob Jones. I thought perhaps the Lord would activate Bob's revelatory gifting and speak to me from Numbers 10. However, by the time I left the conference no mention was made of this passage.

I then flew directly from Knoxville to Dallas, Texas, to participate in a Rosh Hashanah conference with Chuck Pierce and Glory of Zion ministries. I was quite excited to be a part of this gathering and felt a certain sense of appreciation to the Holy Spirit for His quick fulfillment of a prophetic word the Lord directed me to give Chuck the year before. 

It was a revelatory experience involving a huge white tent and the release of the healing anointing comparable to that demonstrated during the tent revivals of the 50s.

This was the first tent meeting they had conducted on property they purchased outside of Denton, Texas. When I arrived the tent was exactly as I had seen in the experience the year before. I still carried in my heart a desire to understand the implications of Numbers 10, but admittedly was not focused on it when the service began that evening.

To my amazement, following worship, Chuck brought forward two individuals with silver trumpets to inaugurate the Feast of Trumpets and the beginning of Rosh Hashanah. This of course is taken from Numbers 10:1-3 and the declaration given to Israel for the purpose of calling a holy assembly and alerting the people for times of movement.

Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out. When both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

I was even more amazed when Chuck declared that he was going to do a brief teaching from Numbers 10 as a prophetic announcement for the services and the coming season in God. There was my confirmation!

Moving With God

Numbers 10 is a chapter devoted to the preparation of God's people to "move with the cloud of His Presence into a place of promise". 

Very specific and meticulous instruction was given to Moses when the time came for the cloud to move to another location. Clearly, from this prophetic insight, the Body of Christ is being called to a holy assembly and preparing to follow the movement of His Presence. The cloud is moving!

The specific verse that I was reading in my dream that was translated "increase, increase, increase, increase, increase" was actually Numbers 10:28 saying, "This was the order of march of the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out."

My interpretation of this passage as it relates to the coming increase is derived from our necessity to follow God's meticulous order outlined by His Spirit. The Lord has a prescribed way that He desires for us to align ourselves with Him in order for His blessings of favor and grace to accompany us, resulting in progressive measures of increase. 

Much of that order can be found in Isaiah 66:1-2 saying:

Thus says the LORD, "Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being," declares the LORD. "But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.

Three things will help align us with God for the coming days:

1. The Spirit of Humility
2. A Broken and Contrite Heart
3. Trembling in Reverence and Awe at God's Word (Rhema and Logos)

Praise, Times and Seasons, Habitation

The Lord clearly instructed Moses to have three tribes precede the Tabernacle as they began to march – Judah, Issachar and Zebulun (Numbers 10:14-16).

The standard representing Judah was that of a lion. Clearly, the Lord is presenting Himself as the Lion from the tribe of Judah. He came once in a manger and offered Himself as a suffering lamb. 

However, now He comes roaring in resurrection power to appropriate His overcoming victory through a Body of people identified as the Bride of Christ. 

Praise must go before us along with a clear understanding of times and seasons as depicted in the blessings of Issachar.

We are now entering an "appointed time" for advancement and especially the recovery of lost heritage. 

While in South Africa following Rosh Hashanah very clear revelatory insights were given concerning Zebulun and the blessing of Moses found in Deuteronomy 33:18-19 saying:

Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going forth, and, Issachar, in your tents. They will call peoples to the mountain; there they will offer righteous sacrifices; for they will draw out the abundance of the seas, and the hidden treasures of the sand."

The name Zebulun means "a habitation" but the land of Zebulun was once ostracized for its darkness and apostasy. However, one visitation from the Lord Jesus and it became known as a land of illumination and a source of great Light (Matthew 4:15-16). 

This blessing provides a prophetic picture of many places being positioned for divine visitation. I believe this will be especially true along certain coastal areas that have received prophetic promises through the blessings of Zebulun. Naturally, that is not to say this will be limited to coastal areas, but this word is identifying those places with this promise.

A New Season

I believe this past fall festival season has been one of the most important in recent memory. Very clear and precise revelations have been granted concerning God's desire to release not only demonstrations of His Spirit but also a more pronounced measure of His Presence. 

We are called and commissioned in this season to bring in a wave of harvest that will consist of future harvesters; the Cloud is moving in that direction. Along with our emphasis on evangelism there must also be a corresponding emphasis on equipping, mentoring and preparation.

A Special Word to the Women of God - Francis Frangipane

Francis Frangipane -

A Special Word to the Women of God

Intro From Julie A. Smith:

Women fulfill many roles, whether personal or professional: mother, wife, best friend, and ministry/business leader to name some. AND there is one role they are especially good at as Francis Frangipane shares here – being intercessors that birth revival. Women naturally birth and can also do the same spiritually, by birthing revival movements on the earth.

Francis Frangipane shares a great word of how women have birthed movements on the earth through prayer...BUT that doesn't excuse men of their prayer role as Francis explains. Both men and women – be encouraged in your roles of intercession and the importance of it in this day. I've talked with people who've told me that they are being called like no other time to fasting and prayer in this hour.

Francis Frangipane:

A Special Word to the Women of God

Before I begin this message, let me provide a short disclaimer: although I do encourage women to move freely within the order provided by God in their local churches, my goal is to exalt and celebrate a primary grace that God has placed specifically within women, which the Lord Himself has used in past times to release revival.

The Genesis Distinctions

When the Lord created humankind, He placed unique graces in man and separate but equally unique graces in woman. He told Adam to name the species of life on earth "and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name" (Genesis 2:19). 

This "naming" was much more than calling the dog "Spot." Adam was created with an organizational, administrative capacity that enabled him to identify and define the world around him. By naming the living things, Adam not only brought them into his consciousness, but he introduced order and structure to the human experience. 

Adam did not create the world, of course, but by defining the things God brought to him, he helped establish reality.

Within the genetics of this original man, there also existed the powerful, but dormant, qualities of the woman.

While Adam slept the Spirit took from the man a rib. Fashioning it into a woman, the Lord created for Adam a companion. Not only was she suitable for him, but she powerfully expanded man's creative capacities. Indeed, the woman brought many new graces into Adam's world that did not formerly exist – the foremost of which was the power to conceive and give birth.

It is important to remember: God created male and female in His image, according to His likeness (Genesis 1:26). Of course, in certain ways, both Adam and Eve as individuals possessed reflections of the divine nature. 

They each could think, speak, dream and create.

However, it was in the union of Adam and Eve, in their mutual respect of one another's strengths and graces, that mankind would possess a more perfect expression of the fuller nature of God.

As Adam beheld this first female, he said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man" (Genesis 2:23). 

The term woman was a delineation used by Adam, identifying her as a unique variation in the species of man. My wife says, "Think of her as the upgrade." In some ways, she is right, for the nature of the woman was twice refined. Adam was created of earth; the woman emerged not from the earth but from the man. She is both more complex and emotionally sophisticated.

Soon Adam began to understand the greatest power of his counterpart: her ability to conceive and bring life into the world. Recognizing this quality, Adam named her Eve, which meant "life." Eve would play an integral part in the unfolding of life's new beginnings. "She was the mother of all the living" (Genesis 3:20).

The Power of a Woman's Prayer

The Lord gave Adam a primary ability to name and establish reality; He gave to woman the unique capacity to conceive and then birth reality. The primary strength of each gender is that man establishes, woman births.

Remember, these qualities are not merely "human": they are reflections of the divine. Man's ability to bring order to one's world, to take what was random and give it definition and structure, is a divine facility. 

Woman's ability to conceive and incubate life, and then deliver life through birth, is also an aspect of the divine nature.

Note also that Adam named the woman Eve (or "Life") before they had children. God gave the woman an ability not just to have babies but to release life in a variety of its expressions. In fact, one translation says that Eve means to "enliven."

Alone, Adam had been downcast; it was not good that Adam was alone. Eve enlivened Adam in ways no other creature on earth could. 

Adam could build a house; Eve made it a home. When Adam named Eve "Life," he was not only speaking prophetically of the first mother, but he was speaking out of his own experience: Eve brought life into the structure of Adam's world.

We are speaking in generalities here, but when we observe the spiritual realm, we see this same divine encoding replicated in the ministries of men and women. 

Jesus laid the foundation of the Church with twelve men whom He called to be apostles. This didn't mean there would never be women in leadership, but that one of the better skills given man from God was the ability to bring order and structure. 

By the same token, prior to Christ's birth we find Anna, a prophetess, engaged in much prayer and fasting.

In my opinion, it is quite possible that this woman was not alone in her intercession, but the leader of a prophetic prayer ministry that lived in anticipation of her times. 

Women excel in intercession, in spiritual sensitivity and the release of new beginnings. Note: this does not excuse men from prayer! 

Actually, some of the Bible's best examples of intercessors are men! We are speaking in generalities in reference to the spiritual tendencies of both genders. Neither distinction is more important than the other. 

Both are absolutely vital for the unfolding of God's will upon the earth.

Today we are fighting the advance of satan in many arenas. Whether the topic is wars and terrorist attacks or the ever-increasing expansion of iniquity in our world, we need revival. 

To possess a national awakening, the "birthing" power God has placed in women must be released.

All the efforts of man to establish laws and govern righteously will not truly transform our culture. We need something greater; we need the presence of God poured out.

I believe the Holy Spirit is raising up a prayer army of women who are rising in power on behalf of their families and nations.

My Mother's Prayers

I personally know the power of a woman's prayer: my mother's. In the late sixties, I was a very lost young man living in sin and rebellion. 

Judging from my appearance, I looked hopeless. Yet in spite of my outward condition, my dear Catholic mother stood before God for me.

Resist as I did, divine power, uniquely escorted to Earth through her prayers, began to hunt me down. Her cries were relentless and unceasing; often she would pray through the night for me. 

She was pregnant with prayer for her son. In 1970 God finally answered, and during the Jesus Movement revival, I came to Christ.

Years later I asked the Lord about the Jesus Movement revival. As you may know, it has been part of my assignment to help engender citywide unity and establish prayer, things that precede revival. 

Yet, to my knowledge, no citywide unity or organized prayer fueled the Jesus Movement. So I asked the Lord how revival could occur without a prayer movement at its source. The Lord quickly corrected me, saying that there was a great prayer movement: He had heard the prayers of a million praying mothers, each crying to Him for their children.

From all denominations, in a "unity of desperation," God heard the cries of believing mothers. His heart was touched, and as a result, multitudes of sinful kids found repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ. 

This is the army God desires to release again today, but now with more vision, more power from the Holy Spirit, and with the support of men as well!

Women of God, the fact is, Heaven needs you! You have been created by the Almighty to birth breakthroughs on planet Earth! 

God has uniquely designed you with a latent ability to release life through your intercession. Together with you, we men can build and establish, and we are learning to pray, but you have a special grace to release new spiritual beginnings. 

Whether your prayer focus is for your husband or church leadership, whether you are interceding for your children, city or nation, you possess in your spirit the seed-realities that, through prayer, can release God's life into the world.

Yes indeed, a battle rages; there still exists "enmity between [the serpent] and the woman" (Genesis 3:15).

Satan especially hates you because it was your seed that bruised the serpent's head. It is amazing to me that God chose to bring His Son into the world, not through the heavens nor even through a woman impregnated by man, but through a woman made pregnant by God! God Himself came to earth through the woman's power to give birth!

Today the Lord is giving women a new grace, a new confidence against the powers of Hell. Out of their oneness with Christ, these godly women will prayer-birth powerful ministries on earth, both male and female. They will release new beginnings to the Body of Christ.

I also want to commend and personally thank the many women's ministries and prayer groups that have stood with me, interceding for my life, my family and my ministry. 

Many, many times I have suddenly experienced divine protection or unexpected spiritual breakthroughs. 

When I questioned the Lord, He's said, I'm answering the prayers of [such-and-such] ministry.To each of you, I say a special thank you. In a unique way, you have been a mother to me. May the Lord multiply His grace toward you and give you the desires of your hearts!

Finally, Revelation 12:1 speaks of a "woman clothed with the sun." This word is not only talking about Israel or the Church. It also reveals how the Most High sees spiritual women: They are honored and crowned with distinction – pure and clothed with the glory of God. With confidence, they tread upon the powers of night. 

Dear army of praying women, it is your inherent destiny to birth that which shall rule the nations.
