The Wind, the Earthquake, the Fire, & a Gentle Whisper :: By Zachary Everett

The days are rough and broken; we can see that across the world. Evil grows, and nature continues to become more extreme and intense as each day passes. Lies and deceit are continuing with no end. For those who follow the Lord Jesus Christ, it is difficult and sometimes unbearable. The words of the Lord thy God come to mind when hard times fall on us:

“I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Mathew 28:20).

But I wish to speak of another verse that many may have forgotten when adversity arises. I will speak about something the Lord told us through his intervention with Elijah in 1st Kings. We are all facing problems today, but let us not forget that so too did the heroes and apostles of old face problems that tested their resolve. Elijah was one such person. Even after witnessing God’s Power with his own eyes, fear took him when Jezebel sought to end his life for the works he had accomplished.

“Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, ‘May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.’ Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. ‘I have had enough, Lord,’ he said. ‘Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.’ Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep” (1st Kings 19:1-5a).

We can all relate to Elijah and what happened. How many of us want to sleep and forget the world around us, to finally leave the world we are in and never come back. I have had that thought many times more than I can count.

Yet, the Lord had not abandoned Elijah and sent an angel to tend to him.

“All at once an angel touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat.’ He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.’ So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night” (1st Kings 19:5b-9a).

The Lord has not abandoned us. Let me say this: while the world rages all around us and it seems that God is far away in the madness and noise, he is there.

As much as Elijah doubted and wanted it all to end, and as much as I or you or anyone else wants this to end, the Lord still has a plan for us and for us to learn something from it.

The Lord spoke to Elijah to move him.

“And the word of the Lord came to him: ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He replied, ‘I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.’ The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by'” (1st Kings 19:9b-11a).

He is speaking to us in this dark time. Let me focus on this one important piece that the Lord thy God has shared with us in his holy book, the Bible, about the wind, the earthquake, and the fire that He showed Elijah.

“Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper” (1st Kings 19:11b-12).

The world rages, evil is all around us, and our circumstances are at times unbearable. The noise is all around, the madness continues loudly, destruction is ever-present, our minds are lost and tormented, our roads are broken, and the path obscured. And we cannot hear the Lord or see him in the madness…

But let me say this:

  • Let not your mind focus on the raging of the world, the destruction, and the raging of evil.
  • Ask the Lord thy God for help, and look not for a big, brilliant answer, a crescendo of thunder and lightning, a big voice, or a dream to tell you everything will be alright.
  • Just listen for a gentle whisper, remember his promise from his word, and everything will be alright.

Let me leave you with what happened next in Elijah’s story and what the Lord thy God did to comfort him.

“When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He replied, ‘I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.’

The Lord said to him, ‘Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him'” (1st Kings 19:13-18)

The Lord will comfort you no matter the circumstances; just listen for the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit to direct you and your path.

We are almost there… just a little bit more, and we will be home. Just believe in the Lord… believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of his one and only son Jesus Christ, and you will find peace.

God Bless You All,

Zachary Everett

Blood Faith, Prayer, Fasting, Repentance, & Prayer Warriors :: By Keith Watts

Blood Faith, Prayer, Fasting, Repentance, & United Prayer Warriors

What would happen if prayer warriors from around the world came together to pray, fast, and repent for a nation for a set date? What would happen if 10,000 prayer warriors joined with the prayer warriors in the Philippines on August 16, 2021? Would that be enough prayer warriors to move the heart of God?

“Again, I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on the earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven” (Matthew 18:19).

What would happen if all of us prayer warriors agreed that Revival will spread across the land of the Philippines? Jesus said “if two of you shall agree on the earth.” But listen to this – “as touching anything that they shall ask.” Do you believe this statement? I know some teach that all you have to do is say Jesus and it will happen. This verse goes far beyond that teaching. Listen to the words that follow – it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven.”

I believe in what Jesus said.

The blood, faith, prayer, fasting, repentance, and united prayer warriors – all of this coming together is Godly power. Satan is scared to death of this. You have a true born-again Christian that has amazing faith in the Lord and a serious everyday prayer life practicing fasting often that knows how to intercede and repent for others, and prayer warriors that are doing the same thing for a nation for a set date. I am telling you we will move the heart of God Almighty on Monday, August 16, 2021. I would like to take a look at the blood, faith, prayer, fasting, repentance, and united prayer warriors from the Bible.

  1. The Blood

The only way to Heaven is through the blood of Jesus. I can give so many Scriptures about this, but I will give a few of them in this article (Romans 5:8-9). Verse 8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” God the Father gave his all when he gave his Son. Jesus gave his all when he was crucified on the cross for you and me. Jesus took our place. Verse 9 says, “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” The only way we can be made right (justified) before a Holy God is by the blood of Jesus Christ. The only way we can be united prayer warriors is through the blood of Jesus.

  1. Faith

I am telling you right now that there is very little faith in the Church today. The first part of Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please him,” reminds me of a verse in the last part of Romans 1:17, “The just shall live by faith.” Are you pleasing to the Lord? Do you live by faith or by sight?

I put a statement on my Facebook pages, several Facebook groups, and all of my WhatsApp contact list. This is the statement: “I believe that the Lord will save millions of souls across America and around the world before the Rapture of the Church.” I asked the question, Do you believe this statement? Less than 10 said they believe. Without faith, it is impossible to please him. By the way, I have been praying to the Lord to save millions across America and around the world before the Rapture of the Church, and so many have joined in with me. We believe the Lord is going to do this.

I want to give you a verse, and I pray that you will let this verse touch and change your heart. Ephesians 3:20, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Wow! I am telling you right now that Jesus is able. Not only is he able to do this, but he is able to do exceeding abundantly above that. This means Jesus is able to do much more than we ask or think. Wow, Wow, Wow. Do you believe the statement I made now? The key part of the verse is “according to the power that worketh in us.” That is what this article is all about, the power of God Almighty working in and through us. Jesus said if we have just a little faith, we could move mountains. What does this statement mean? For a Christian that has faith, anything is possible. I believe. Do you believe?

  1. Prayer

For most Christians, their prayer life is the weakest part of their life. I have preached 16 messages on prayer and am working on two more to preach on my YouTube channel. The Bible says so much about prayer. I want to take a look at two verses. I Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray without ceasing!” You may ask, What does this mean, preacher? Start praying from the time you wake up until you go to bed. Even if you work all day, talk with the Lord; he is right there with you. Some of the best times I have is at work talking to the Lord. I’m telling you, it takes work to get your mind where it needs to be to talk with the Lord all day and still do your job. If you don’t take the Lord to work with you, then you are not spending enough time with him.

Do you pray without ceasing? The last part of James 5:16 says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” How many pastors, preachers, and Christians fulfill this verse in our lives? I spent so many hours on this statement, and it means one word: the word is “work.” I believe the hardest thing for a Christian to do is what James said in this verse. Why is that? Because this will be the hardest work you will ever do in your life. Christian, are you fulfilling this verse in your life? And it takes a lifetime to fulfill it. A true prayer warrior works so hard on their prayer life every day.

  1. Fasting

For the Christian in America, this is so hard to do. You can decide to fast one meal up to 40 days of fasting. Have you fasted for 40 days? Jesus said when you fast in secret, the Father will reward you in the open. The Bible says so much about fasting. There is a public fast in I Samuel 31:13. The people and king of Nineveh had a public fast for the city of Nineveh. Queen Esther in Esther 4:16 called for a public fast for all the Jews in the kingdom. I Samuel 7:6 says they fasted on that day. If you have a true prayer warrior that fasts, I am telling you that prayer warrior will move the heart of God.

  1. Repentance

The Bible says so much about repentance. There is National repentance in Joel 3:5-18 and individual repentance by King David in Psalm 51. True repentance is from the heart, and the Lord knows if it is from the heart.

All of us Christians need to get right with the Lord every day. Do you get right with the Lord every day? I want to mention intercessory prayer also. You don’t hear that many messages on this subject. What does it mean? You are praying to God on behalf of others. In the prayer series on the YouTube channel, I preach about this subject. Job interceded on behalf of his three friends (Job 42:7-10). Abraham interceded for his enemy Abimelech (Genesis 20:6-7). Moses interceded for a nation, Israel (Exodus 32:7-14). In all three prayers, there was repentance for others. Are you interceding for your family members? Are you interceding for your country or another country?

  1. United Prayer Warriors

There is tremendous God-sent power for the believer who is a prayer warrior. What an amazing power that can only come from the Lord that we can have in our lives here on earth! Pastor, preacher and Christian, is the power of God Almighty all over your ministry, preaching, and everyday living? It can be. Start practicing from the heart everything mentioned in this article.

The Lord has called me and this ministry (4HIM Online Ministries) to do three things. 1. To spread the preaching of the Word of God all over the world. 2. To call on all prayer warriors in a nation to pray, fast, and repent for a set date. 3. To ask all prayer warriors from around the world to join in with us for the sake of that nation for the set date, praying and fasting from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed, interceding for the lost of that nation for that day. We believe we will move the heart of God.

On April 20, 2021, was the first nation (Kenya) we came together for to pray, fast, and repent. This is a list of the nations that we have prayed for on a set date: Uganda, India, Pakistan (I am getting pictures, videos, and messages from pastors and preachers in these first four nations coming in nearly every day). USA, Israel, Bangladesh, South Africa, Philippines will be on August 16, 2021. England on August 26, 2021. Coming up is Mexico, Nigeria and Liberia on the same day, and also Haiti; the dates have not been set for these nations. I will be doing this for the rest of my life; pastors from around the world are asking me when I will be praying for their nation. I have had so many from around the world that have joined this mighty move of the Lord.

I am asking all prayer warriors to join with us on August 16, 2021, for a day of prayer, fasting, and repentance for the Philippines and on behalf of over 110,950,213 precious souls. I am asking you to join with us for all future nations on their set date. I believe we are moving the heart of God Almighty.

I am an online missionary to the world; I started my YouTube channel on April 28, 2020. That night, I asked the Lord to spread the messages all over the world. The Lord is answering this prayer. I will put the link to the channel at the end of the article. I have a tremendous love and burden for the lost souls in every nation. This burden is so deep, I feel at times my heart is going to break into. We need to have the same attitude towards the lost as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does. He is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (II Peter 3:9).

Do you have the same attitude as Jesus does? May you join with us and be a part of the harvest of souls that receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Matthew 9:38, “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

May the Lord bless you, your family, and ministry.
