"The Lord is Handing Out Scrolls for America"

Larry Sparks, Dallas, Texas

While in Branson, MO, praying with the amazing community at Morningside Church as they dedicated their new Prayer Mountain Chapel, the Lord gave me a vision. I believe this vision has everything to do with an assignment He is extending to prophets, intercessors and, well, everyone—on how to effectively pray for the United States of America. (Note: I love all nations, so I'm convinced that within this message is a strategy to pray for other nations too.)

Ask for the Lord's Translation

In the vision, I simply saw the hand of the Lord reaching out to prophets and intercessors, giving them rolled-up scrolls on behalf of their cities and states. Anytime we have supernatural experiences, visions or dreams, we cannot be content with simply indulging the supernatural imagery without contending for an explanation.

The high benchmark of the prophetic ministry is not, and I repeat, NOT how supernatural or spiritual our prophetic words, visions, dreams, and experiences sound. When we receive messages from Heaven they will always come in a slightly "coded" manner. There will be this veil around them, not because God is making things difficult for us, but rather He's inviting you and me into dynamic communication with Him as friends and intimates. He wants you and me to ask Him for the translation—and He is faithful to provide it!

The veil of mystery surrounding prophetic messages from Heaven cannot motivate us to immediately indulge our "push button" society, where we jump out and simply share the word as is, in its uninterpreted, strongly-symbolic or allegorical format. Certainly not. Instead, when we believe that we receive a prophetic message from Heaven, we need to first present it back to the Lord and ask Him for clarity on what it means.

What Were the Rolled-Up Scrolls?

When I asked the Lord what those scrolls were, He told me they were the scrolls for cities and states in the USA. What was written in these scrolls represented God's will and intended purposes for our cities and states; they carried what God wanted for the United States of America. (Photo via Larry Sparks)

Reactive Prayers: Cleaning up Messes Made by the Devil

We cannot pray reactively, we must pray responsively. Reactive prayers sound like we are constantly trying to clean up messes made by the devil. By nature, we are reacting to the very real and present darkness around us. I refuse to pretend away the darkness in our land in favor of a pie-in-the-sky, end-times scenario.

Isaiah 60 gives us a stunning parallel of what to expect in this hour: gross and deep darkness colliding with a people upon whom God arises and shines with superior glory. And that glory is not meant to be contained, but rather have a measurable impact on a society gripped by darkness. Jesus did say we are the salt of the earth and light of the world, which means our presence in the earth should transform things around us.

Responsive Prayers: Responding to What's Written in God's Scrolls

Responsive prayers are not born on Earth; they were birthed in Heaven. They are not motivated by what we "scroll" through on our news-feeds everyday, but rather, they are driven by what's written in God's scrolls for our cities, states and nations.

The ultimate question should not be what is the devil doing? The question is what is God saying? The truth is, we will pray prayers that are driven by one or the other. We can pray based on what the enemy is doing in our nation—with such prayers sounding frantic, hopeless and full of despair—OR, we can be very alert and in tune with the darkness, while praying superior prayers not driven by what darkness is doing, but are rather influenced by the word and purposes of the Lord.

How to Pray Responsively

Here are some very practical "next steps" on how to pray responsively to what the Lord is doing right now:

1. Refuse to allow darkness and the devil to influence your prayer life. Practically speaking, this means you watch the news but don't pray it. You track world events but don't pray the problems. You don't agree with the darkness. Be very aware of what's going on in the earth, but refuse to partner with the enemy's agenda.

2. Ask the Lord, "What do YOU SAY about my city, state and nation?" The news often tells us what the enemy is saying concerning our nations. This is why the scroll imagery, I think, is so important, especially considering the day and age we live in. We're constantly scrolling through news stories and headlines, being influenced by what we are reading. No doubt many prayers have been crafted based on what our eyes have come across while reading the most recent, horrific news headline. Let's shift things. Let's be very aware of what's going on in the earth, but perhaps more aware of what the Lord wants to do in our cities, states and nations.

3. Specifically ask the Lord for the scroll of your city and state. This is not some mystical thing; it's a matter of the Lord unveiling to you what He wants to do in the place where you live. More than what we see in the news, we want to see what's written in Heaven come to pass in the places where we live. (Photo via Unsplash)

4. Research the prophetic history of your city/state.Often, the unfinished work of the Lord can be discovered by acquainting ourselves with the prophetic history of our cities and states.

Recently, I was overwhelmed by the Lord's presence as He told me things like, "I remember Frank Bartleman. I remember William Seymour. I remember John Wimber. I remember Aimee Semple McPherson." This was all in respect to California, which many tend to write off as perhaps the darkest state in the USA. And yet, there are powerful, spiritual seeds still in the ground. The Lord remembers these seeds and I believe His work is yet unfinished in California. Likewise, it's unfinished in your city and state!

5. Practically ask: "How can I get involved in what God is doing?" Yes, we pray, but oftentimes in prayer, the Lord wants to share prophetic solutions and strategies that demand our engagement. He will tell us to do something so that His will can be released into the earth through you. Of course He is the sovereign God and can do things Himself, but He is looking for agents in the earth realm who He can commission and deploy into every sphere that's been influenced by darkness.

Let's receive what the Lord is handing out to us so we can effectively pray for our cities, states and nations! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Larry Sparks: "British Isles/UK and Europe: It's Time to Reap What You Have Sown!" - The Elijah List

Larry Sparks: "British Isles/UK and Europe: It's Time to Reap What You Have Sown!"

The Elijah List Apr 12, 2019

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

I sure enjoy reading the promises and plans of God over the nations of the earth.

As we read words like this, it should excite us for what God also wants to do in our own nation as well.

Larry Sparks shares this awesome prophecy he recently recevied over the British Isles/UK and Europe:

Even now, I prophesy, "British Isles and Europe, it's time for you to reap what you have sown into the nations of the earth!" What have you sown? I believe the Holy Spirit told me, "They have sown revival and reformation into the four corners of the earth."

Also included are specific prayer strategies from Larry that we can be praying into. Let's get behind this word over Europe and what God wants to do through His Church there! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"British Isles/UK and Europe: It's Time to Reap What You Have Sown!"

Larry Sparks, Dallas, Texas

Recently, the Spirit of the Lord said to me: "It's time for the UK and Europe to reap what they have sown."

At first glance, such a statement might produce some fear and trembling because of how we are religiously bent to think. Often, when we consider the concept of sowing and reaping, we think of how nations have sown bad things, and thus, should brace themselves for the judgment or wrath of God.

While God does have the right to judge nations, we need to also consider that the word "judgment" also includes "evaluation." And remember, our God is the One who doesn't want any people – or nations – to perish (see 2 Peter 3:9). I believe He is evaluating nations right now and He wants you to know that He has seen the seeds you've sown into the earth!

It's a Fullness of Time Moment!

The King James Version of Galatians 6:7 uses the terminology of sowing and reaping. I like how the New Living Translation puts it: "...You will always harvest what you plant." Europe and UK: for many years, you have been planting and seeding Heaven's agenda as you have sown revival and reformation across the globe. God sees and God remembers.

Heaven has taken account and it's now a fullness of time moment where what you have sown, you will reap. (Photo via Pixabay)

I was born in the USA and I presently live in Texas. While I believe in a healthy love for one's homeland and nation, I also believe it's vital to express our appreciation to other nations for how their spiritual investments have impacted our nations. I write as a citizen of the United States right now, desiring to give honor to how your nations have touched the planet!

I'm grateful for the correspondence that Evan Roberts had with Intercessor Frank Bartleman in Los Angeles, as I have no doubt that what God was doing in Wales (Welsh Revival) in 1904 somehow jumped over the ocean and had a measurable impact on birthing the Azusa Street Revival of 1906. Wales, it's time for a fresh outpouring!

I'm grateful for the Smith sisters for praying a mighty outpouring of God's Spirit into the Hebrides Islands back in 1949 during the Lewis Awakening/Hebrides Revival. God sees Scotland, and I believe His movement in that nation is evidenced by the powerful prophetic community that is being raised up there!

I'm grateful for how Evangelist Steve Hill (Brownsville Revival) was touched by the power of God at Holy Trinity Brompton (in 1995) and that touch of God was powerfully released on Father's Day 1995 in Pensacola, FL.

England, it's time. There are an increasing number of churches that carry the fire of the Holy Spirit throughout the country. My friends with the Ramp (a youth and young adults ministry based in Hamilton, AL) have received a mandate to build a church in Manchester. The Lord says, "Look around! Consider the activity of My Spirit, both overt and covert, for this activity is evidence that I am moving and My movement will only increase."

Justified by Grace

I'm grateful for what God exported out of Germany through a priest named Martin Luther. Because of his impact, we recognize that through the Blood of Jesus we have direct access to God Himself. We are justified by grace through faith.

I'm grateful for the reformation culture exported out of Geneva, Switzerland under John Calvin, which gives us a powerful picture of a city under the influence of Kingdom ideas.

I think of George Jeffreys, the Welsh evangelist who operated in signs, wonders and miracles and founded Elim Pentecostal Church. It's interesting how this evangelist had a direct impact and influence on German-born evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke.

Time prevents me from going through revival and reformation history, person by person, recognizing the global, spiritual impact of European and British leaders on the nations of the earth. For all you've sown, it's time to reap. So, how do we respond to this prophetic word?

Here are Some Strategies to Pray Through and Act Upon:

• We agree with prophetic words through prayer and intercession. We do not agree with the secularism and darkness we see having influence on these nations. We don't pretend the problems aren't there in the name of faith; we simply pray based on what God is saying about Europe and the British Isles.

Don't pray the problem; pray the solution.

• We volunteer to be "sent ones," released into the harvest. By and large, this does not mean you are called to "minister" in a church setting; you are called to be the Church in whatever sphere of influence, job, trade, or educational institution you've been assigned to. The Lord is building His Church; it just looks a whole lot different than we think. You are filled with the Holy Spirit to go to the people and places in your sphere of influence and function as a prophetic problem-solver. For as you deliver solutions to the problems and crises that have stumped everyone else, you will be given platforms to reveal the "Source" of your supernatural solutions: the Holy Spirit, Christ in you! (Photo via Pexels)

• We make room for the Holy Spirit in our local church gatherings. It's impossible to see culture shift without a local church that maintains an open atmosphere to the supernatural movement of the Spirit. I prophesy, Europe and UK – may the fire of God burn strong in your churches! I even see some of the ancient landmarks of faith, the cathedrals and beautiful sanctuaries of old, coming alive again with the fire of God.

• I see intercessors and prophets becoming key voices in this season, as you will be receiving prayer strategies from Heaven that you are called to prophesy and decree over your cities, regions, and nations.

• The Spirit of the Lord will sovereignly remind you of past promises and prophecies for your cities and nations. These words were never meant to become "forgotten things," they are Heaven-sent strategies to help us effectively pray and war in the spirit for the destinies of our nations.

• I specifically see people praying over the ground in these nations, declaring: "Spring up, oh well!" (see Numbers 21:17). The Lord is saying, "My Bride will once again sing the 'song of the well'" in Europe and the British Islands." (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

6 Crucial Keys For Your New Prophetic Wineskin - ANA WERNER AND LARRY SPARKS CHARISMA NEWS

6 Crucial Keys For Your New Prophetic Wineskin

3:00PM EST 11/18/2018 ANA WERNER AND LARRY SPARKS CHARISMA NEWS

"I will send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. He is coming, says the Lord of Hosts.says the LORD of Heaven's Armies" (Mal. 3:1).

I have not been able to escape this passage, as it reveals how quickly the Lord desires to pour out His Spirit. Consider the language of His "suddenly" coming to His temple. Likewise, I believe we are positioned in an hour where the Spirit of the Lord is poised to come suddenly to His church. What will prepare the way, however, will be a "messenger" anointing that is not the result of one lone-ranger prophet claiming to have a monopoly on hearing the voice of God. In fact, any so-called prophet who randomly emerges out of the woodwork, who has no history, no accountability, and no submission to any other five-fold ministry context should be immediately red-flagged.

The blessing of New Covenant prophetic ministry is that anyone can prophesy. The drawback? Anyone can prophesy. I believe the Lord is raising up communities of prophets to provide a place of relationship and accountability for those carrying the messenger anointing for this hour. Just as John the Baptist was forerunner for Jesus' first coming, it goes without saying that prior to the Lord's return, there will be an increased outpouring of the Spirit which will manifest itself through prophetic activity, as clearly evidenced in the fulfillment of Joel 2. The language of outpouring is the language of the prophetic—hearing, seeing and receiving revelation from the Lord.

My dear friend, Ana Werner, and co-author of this prophetic word, has provided the following keys to help prophets and prophetic voices remain in check as we operate in this new wineskin of a collective of prophets:

1. Accountability is so necessary and healthy for each of us. Those who not only hold up our arms when in the battle (Ex. 17:12), but also those that will keep us in check. May we never lose our teachability and ability to receive wisdom and correction in humility.

2. Maturity: Pride goes before the fall, I believe is the saying. The Lord is calling us each individually and at a corporate level, to maintain a bar of maturity by holding onto the values of humility, intimacy with Jesus first and right standing before the Lord, knowing we are a son and daughter first before a gifting or anointing.

3. Celebration of Streams and Successes: With this embracing of all the parts, or different streams of ministry, the ability to intentionally celebrate others advancements or successes needs to happen. After all, it's all for His glory, right? Never are we to be in competition with each other but to embrace the kingdom as a family. After all, family is a beautiful thing really. We all have much to learn from each other and should want to help each other advance forward, in the same way we should be cheering for our actual brothers and sisters to succeed.

4. Breaking the spirit of entitlement through honor. I am so grateful for the Prophetic generals and pioneers who have gone before us and plowed the ground. What I love about the young prophets that I see rising up is that we are not going along with an "Us vs. Them" mentality. I just sat with a minister who is older than I am, and she shared with me her pain: "This generation rising up, carries so much of an entitlement spirit. It's like they feel they have earned the right to all have their voice heard, when so many of us have had to work for an honorable position to be heard."

My heart broke for her, but it so revealed to me the greater need for a collective of all of us operating together independent of our age range, or years in ministry. Honor must be maintained if we are going to bring in the greatest harvest. Although different, we can learn to honor the freshness and beauty we each carry to the banquet table. This isn't a "us and them" separate mentality, but that "we" together can do more.

5. Authenticity is your greatest strength. Please, please do not put on someone else's mantle. Step into your own! People can read right through inauthenticity, and it poorly represents Jesus. Hold your line as close to truth and purity as you can. Do not exaggerate a testimony, to build up your own platform. Remember, we represent His name, and the Lamb is pure. There is no one exactly like you, who carries your story, who has walked in your shoes. You being You is the best gift to the world.

6. Lastly, I implore you, rise up, you prophet of God! The enemy will always come and try to silence the voice of the prophet, but we need you to speak up! Be a fearless lover of Jesus, who walks in humility, carries fire, maturity and loves God more than the calling.
