Demonic Roots of Lawfare - Karen Hardin - May 7, 2025

Lawfare is a modern term to an ancient tool that was used in biblical days. Its roots are demonic tied to spiritual darkness, jealousy, pride and manipulation.

Lawfare is defined as: “the use of legal proceedings to achieve a goal, such as the use of legal systems to wage war to damage or destroy someone’s reputation. This approach transforms the battlefield from physical combat to the courtroom, where legal maneuvers become the weapons of choice.” (https://wayneaston.com/what-is-the-meaning-of-lawfare/)

Especially over the last ten years, lawfare has increased exponentially where legal avenues are weaponized to hinder or destroy political opponents or righteous actions.

When laws are manipulated to achieve an unrighteous end, it is demonic lawfare. It can be enabled with both unknowing or corrupt judges/leaders, who allow unjust actions to be legalized and promoted.

Ecclesiastes reminds us there is nothing new under the sun. The same spirit of wickedness in our world now has been prevalent throughout time. Let’s take a look:

April 30, 2025 -  Stay Over the Target! - Karen Hardin

(NOTE: The message that Karen posted for our www.CityByCityPrayer.org email on Monday, was so powerful, we felt to share it with our Destiny Builders Ministries contacts as well. For those that are on both lists, we apologize for this repeated content.)

DON'T  BACK DOWN
The Bible instructs us not to grow weary in doing what He has called us to do. It is followed by the encouragement that in due season we will reap if we faint not. Many have felt like fainting as the battles you are facing seem unrelenting. If that is you, I encourage you, don’t back down!

If we look back through the Bible, we can see a pattern that the more intense the battle/spiritual warfare, it is an indicator that not only are you right over the target, but breakthrough is near—if you don’t quit.
 
The Old Testament accounts give us a great first hand view of that principle how God can and does intervene in our lives. Over and over in those accounts, we see that people who put their trust in God, came out on top—against all odds. And it was always because of the God factor.

  • Elijah vs Jezebel
  • Nehemiah vs Sanballot
  • Mordecai vs Hamon
  • David vs Goliath
  • David vs King Saul

What did all of those scenarios have in common? The Enemy wanted to destroy them! They weren’t small battles, but intense life and death battles.

Week 17 - The Book of Revelation, Part 27 - Rick Joyner

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea" (Revelation 1:10-11 NKJV).

      For John to be “in the Spirit” was for him to be in the spiritual realm. This is also sometimes referred to as the “kingdom of heaven.” This is where spiritual beings and landscapes become more real to us than those in the natural realm. When we start to see angels and other spiritual beings, it is usually because we are entering their realm, rather than them entering ours.

      It is possible for all who have been born again by the Spirit to begin to experience this realm, become more comfortable in it, and begin to grow up into their new creation nature. As we do this, we become more spiritual than natural and more at home in the Spirit than we are in the natural.

      It was in this realm where I experienced the things I wrote about in The Final Quest Trilogy. When I had these experiences, it was like living in two different worlds. I was caught up in the Spirit for several hours a day, often for several days in a row. Altogether, these took place over years. Then, I would go through a period when I would not have these experiences for several years.   READ MORE

A Second Wind: Revive, Restore & Recharge - Elaine Tavolacci, Staten Island, NY - Apr 28, 2025

A Second Wind

One day I saw an elderly woman at the supermarket who was struggling to stay on her feet, as she was overcome with exhaustion and about to pass out. A manager quickly came to her aid and brought her a chair. She may have been experiencing heat stroke or was just physically drained because she was up in years. He offered her a glass of juice, and she gladly received it. Moments later she made a remarkable recovery, regaining her strength and composure within minutes. I thought to myself, "That's amazing how she suddenly got her second wind."

While driving home I heard the Holy Spirit say, "I am about to release a second wind to those in the body of Christ who are spiritually lethargic, and have lost their zeal." There are those who had a passion for the Word of God and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but they got worn down by the relentless pressures of life. They will run again and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). Their strength will be restored, and their youth will be renewed. This second wind will bring revival and restoration.   READ MORE

Will North Korea's Dictator Lose Power? - Karen Hardin

Today's first article is about North Korea's second in command, Choe Ryong Hae. Since 2017, Choe has been trusted by Kim and has been gaining more and more power across much of the government and military, whose power network seems to be surpassing that of Kim himself.

I wonder if this "ally" will eventually turn against the Kim family and stage a coup. This certainly seems to be the possibility that is being laid out in this article. If he would overthrow Dictator Kim and then open up N. Korea to the outside world and would be a more benevolent leader than the Kims have been then of course that would be great for the people and hopefully for the spread of the Gospel. 

If Choe stages a coup and also acts as a cruel dictator similar to Kim, then who knows, but it could even get worse for the N. Korean people. 

Pray over the leadership of N. Korea to change for the good of the people.

Archbishop Viganò: The Interview They Refused To Publish -  from  by 

This is the interview requested by the editorial staff of Fuori dal Coro for yesterday’s episode, April 23. Without any explanation – and without any apology from the editorial staff – my intervention was not broadcast. I make it available here by publishing a post for each question.

1. Your Excellency, what is your evaluation of Pope Bergoglio?

In recent decades, a subversive lobby has taken over the levers of power in governments and institutions, in order to carry out the anti-Christian and Masonic plan of the Revolution. Government agencies – as we know from what is also emerging in the United States of America – have interfered in the life of various nations, organizing and financing the so-called “Agenda 2030” of the Rockefeller Foundation and the World Economic Forum, which consists in the destruction of the family, the commodification of human life, the moral corruption of children and young people, the exploitation of workers, and the privatization of all those services that until the 1990s were guaranteed – without a motive of profit – by the State: health, infrastructure, defense, communications, education. To carry out this global coup, the collaboration (paid, of course) of corrupt government officials, and of corrupt politicians, doctors, judges, and teachers was necessary.  READ MORE

An Invitation Into the Innermost Chamber - Brian and Candice Simmons - Apr 23, 2025

Draw Me Into Your Heart

The call of God burning in your heart today is more than just a desire to "do something" for God. It is the uncontainable, unstoppable, passionate longing to meet with the Lover of your soul and hear his heartbeat for your life. Here is the prayer of awakened desire:

"Draw me into your heart. We will run away together into the king's cloud-filled chamber..." (Song of Songs 1:4 TPT)

The Shulamite in the verse is asking to be drawn away in sacred intimacy with the king—drawn out of her comfort zone, drawn away from sin and self, into the loving arms of her beloved.

You are the one who is loved by Jesus in this story. Be careful not to miss that and assume the lyrics of this love song are for someone else, somehow excluding you. You are the Shulamite, while Jesus is the King.

Nothing else can satisfy the thirst she feels for her lover. She is ready to make a break from everything else to follow him alone. In spite of her weakness, she longs to be drawn to him and to be taken away from all that is unclean and impure. She has tasted his spirit-kiss and the fragrance of his anointing, but she longs to be drawn with even greater power and glory. Is this your cry today?

When we ask to be drawn after the Son of God, we are asking that he be exalted to the highest place in our hearts. The maiden recognizes that spiritual growth is a response to God's drawing love as it tugs at her heart. None of us seek God apart from his tender influence on our spirits first drawing us toward him. His touch draws us to his heart, as he longs for us to know him as he truly is.

"The only way people come to me is by the Father who sent me—he pulls on their hearts to embrace me. And those who are drawn to me, I will certainly raise them up in the last day." (John 6:44 TPT)   READ MORE

The Book of Revelation, Part 26 - Rick Joyner

“I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 1:9).

      John adds his perspective to this narrative by saying he was our brother and companion “in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus.” In this age, these are always found together with the true companions of the Lord. As we’re told in 2 Timothy 3:12, “all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”

      Being persecuted is actually the normal state for Christians and churches that are seeking to live godly in Christ throughout the world. Why is it that so many in the West think when they are being persecuted, which is mostly by being falsely accused and slandered, that they have somehow displeased God? It is because this important element of walking with God is left out of the messages of many who preach the gospel today.   

      Our brethren throughout the world are imprisoned, have their properties and belongings confiscated, and are tortured and killed for their faith. To suffer for His name’s sake is not a sign of God’s disfavor but of His favor. It is one of the greatest honors we can have in this life, even if the suffering is just slander and false accusations. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:11-12: "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."  READ MORE

Be Encouraged! God Has Not Passed You By - Dr. Sandie Freed, Bedford, TX - Apr 21, 2025

"I Have Not Passed You By"

A few weeks ago, I heard the Lord say, "Tell my children I have not passed them by. Many believe they have missed my blessings. They have been praying and waiting for a breakthrough but are becoming discouraged. Tell them to remain patient. I have not forgotten about them."

Dear ones, I know what it feels like to wait on God. Sometimes we are so weary in waiting on God that unbelief attempts to cloud our vision and hijack our faith. I have been one of those Christians who has had God remind me of many blessings coming my way, as I've prayed, fasted, and stood firm... only to have nothing happen. Sometimes it has felt like God has forgotten about me or passed me by! Many times I thought I had missed my blessing somehow.

There have also been days when I have gotten out of bed with high expectations for the day—believing for miracles and breakthroughs—only to experience disappointment at the end of the day. I still loved God and knew he loved me, yet this lingering disappointment would remain that I could not shake.

What do you do when your heart is broken and all hope seems lost? How do you battle the dark whispers from the enemy who says, "God doesn't care about your needs. You're not good enough. You've messed up and God isn't going to heal you. You don't measure up. You don't pray enough. God has turned his back on you because of your sin. You're a loser."?

A thousand fiery darts are hurled toward you, and soon you are convinced that God has passed you by!

After Jesus died -  | Apr 19, 2025 | Mary Magdalene

One of the greatest cruelties—happened to Mary Magdalene.  You will soon understand why her story means more now than ever before.

For starters, Jesus rescued her from what so many women faced in those days. Now she is redeemed and planted into a family of indescribable love.  Things would never be the same.  Her nights of remorse, her days of futility, her emptiness, were now all distant memories.

The next three years were a life she could never have imagined. Crisscrossing Judea.  Hanging on Jesus’ every word. Weeping gloriously over every miracle.  Everyday, she woke up a more powerful and joyous woman of God than the day before. She thought it would go on forever.

Everyday, she woke up a more powerful and joyous woman of God than the day before. She thought it would go on forever.

People use the phrase “nothing could be worse…”  I will use it this way: Nothing could be worse than to be in hell, and then taste heaven, only to return to hell.

On that fateful Friday, it all went horribly, horribly wrong.  How could the One Who called the dead back to life and silenced a storm at sea, be arrested?  Can the One who gave words of exquisite beauty, love and wisdom, be tortured and killed?  No one wanted to save Jesus more than Mary.  She felt  horror and helplessness. 

That night, profound hope with threatened by bitterness and disappointment.  Evil said, “it would have been better if you had never met Him!”  Sleep came when exhaustion became more powerful than sorrow.   She was too wounded and drained to even think about what she should do with her life.

Mary is of special importance to me today, because her testimony is the best one I can think of this Easter. Mary’s miracle is the miracle the American church needs now!    READ MORE

Peter, the day after - by  | Apr 18, 2025 | Good Friday

He screamed and he kept screaming until he could scream no more. Then he fell off a cliff into the abyss of broken souls. The force of his crash could have moved the earth. Fragments lay around him—the new and hideous replacements of his former self. Shame replaced love. Cowardice replaced faith. Fear drove out Hope to make room for the mocking predator. Worst of all, he saw his destiny plunge into a black hole of regret.

This is the day after Jesus died.

To survive, Peter became a robot. He went fishing. It’s what he was programmed to do. Peter went through the motions.  Avoiding feeling, suppressing every emotion.

The difference between Peter and Judas Iscariot is razor thin. The same fever of despair and regret raged in both of them. It drove Judas to suicide. Why didn’t Peter do what the other traitor did? It was because Jesus prayed for him.

Satan told Peter a lie. Peter not only believed that lie, he now embodied it. And, it is the same lie that Satan is telling America right now—the lie that all the good and important things are gone forever.

Whenever those who hate God and America try to enforce a change, they call it ‘THE NEW NORMAL.’ They sold us on ‘THE NEW NORMAL’ of abortion, same sex marriage, and godless education. Their biggest excuse for seizing control was the coronavirus. Something to remember: ‘the new normal’ is always nothing other than the old abnormal, it is just disguised.

Memories tortured Peter. He tried to fight it with all his might, it was impossible not to relive those days. Two mistakes haunted him the most. Thinking he could save Jesus, he swung it at the head of the high priest’s servant, Malchus, who, fortunately had moved just in time, losing only an ear. But his greatest horror was his discovery that he was a coward. He denied Jesus three times. The rooster was still crowing in his spirit.  READ MORE

Apr 15 - Word for the Week -  Treasure Hunters - Rick Joyner

In a world that is falling into increasing deception, we must be resolved to love the truth and to tell the truth without compromise. What makes something a treasure is that it is rare or hard to get. As integrity becomes increasingly rare, we must resolve that it is a treasure we will protect with the utmost diligence. One of the most important ways that we build our lives on integrity is to obey what Jesus said in Matthew 5:37: “But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.”

      Contrary to His truth, children are often raised today by parents who don’t really mean “yes” or “no” until they have repeated it many times and raised their voices to a certain decibel level. Or, they teach their children that they can change the “yes” or “no” easily with a little pressure or manipulation. Jesus said this was “evil.” By this we condition them to believe that we don’t really mean what we say, and this carries on to them believing later that superiors at work or authorities don’t really mean what they say. Worse, it has carried over so that to them the Lord does not really mean what He says, which is the trap that our first parents fell into and is at the root of most falls since.  READ MORE

 Finding the Path in a "Winds of Change" Season - Nate Johnston, Colorado Springs, CO - Apr 14, 2025

A "Winds of Change" Moment

We are in a "winds of change" moment. Can you feel it? It's not a moment where some things are changing or most things are changing, but all things are changing. This is a moment where the Holy Spirit is moving upon the earth, brooding, shifting, and rearranging us, the church, and even nations in preparation for the harvest.

"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8 ESV)

You might ask, "But doesn't God stay the same?" Yes and no. He doesn't change but he moves. The Holy Spirit is always moving, forever leading us through seasons of change and growth. And in seasons when the "ark" moves, only the seekers and the lovers will move with it, and that reality has never been greater than now. Right now many can feel him summoning us to move with him and leave anything that isn't HIM behind.

This is a moment where the winds of the Holy Spirit are gathering up the battle-weary and broken from the ashes of defeat, just like in Ezekiel 37, where the breath of God brought life to dry bones and caused them to stand on their feet.

"Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live."'" (Ezekiel 37:9 NIV)

It is a moment where the winds of the Holy Spirit are blowing, like in Acts 2, when tongues of fire came upon those who gathered.

"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2 NIV)

Just as the wind comes and rearranges, just as the Holy Spirit moves and shakes things apart, he is also the Comforter; he is also the Healer. In the same sentence, he shakes the earth and stills it. In the same sentence, he blows upon the seas, creating tumult, then brings the calm.
