Is God Your Favorite Episode? Drawing Near to Him (James 4:8)

September 19, 2024

Do you have an appointment with God, or do you only call on Him when it’s convenient? Is your prayer life unscheduled, your scripture reading sporadic? You reach out to God when you’re in need, but have you noticed He’s been calling you all along, while you remain too busy for Him? And yet, we spend endless hours flipping through social media, all the while rejecting any opportunity to meet with God. How can you expect Him to meet your needs when you constantly reject His call?

God desires our hearts. He wants us to have regular, consistent meetings with Him. He values those set times, placing them on His divine calendar, prepared to meet us when we show up. In those moments, He’s ready to respond to the prayers from our previous meetings. Think about how you prioritize your favorite TV show, sports match, or series—how you adjust your schedule just to make sure you don’t miss it, finding excuses to skip Sunday services while you never fall sick when those episodes are on air. I remember when I watched Joana la Virgen—it was a show I never wanted to miss. My heart was so glued to it that I would rush home from wherever I was just to catch every episode, or even find a place with electricity if there was a power outage. Today, I do the same with Chelsea’s EPL matches—I don’t want to miss a single one. What are you so addicted to that you can’t bear missing it, even going back to watch the replay? Let’s be honest—replays aren’t as thrilling because we already know the outcome.

This is the level of devotion God desires from us—the same energy and dedication we give to our favorite shows or activities. He wants us to schedule regular meetings with Him, setting aside specific times for prayer and devotion. In those moments, the Holy Spirit reviews the “minutes” of your last meeting, and Jesus executes the action plans on God’s behalf. They come prepared with revelations, blessings, and answers just for you. But if your meetings with God are inconsistent and haphazard—showing up one day and missing the next—then God may also respond to your needs sporadically, as if He, too, is working without an appointment.

God expects us to love Him with all our hearts, as Deuteronomy 6:4-5 says: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” When we give Him our full devotion, He draws nearer to us.

If your prayers are “as and when,” God will meet you “as and when.”
If your scripture reading is “as and when,” He’ll respond “as and when.”

Why can’t Christians have consistent, scheduled devotion like our Muslim brothers and sisters? Why do we only pray when we’re desperate, instead of making it a daily priority, like our favorite TV shows? Shouldn’t our time with God be like that telenovela we never want to miss? Even if we miss an episode, we rush to watch the replay before the next one. We avoid distractions when we’re glued to a football match; how frustrated we get when we miss a crucial moment and the replay isn’t shown! Just like how you call your boyfriend/girlfriend first thing in the morning or want to hear his/her voice before bed, God desires that kind of intentionality and devotion.

As James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” When we approach God with faithfulness and consistency, He responds with the same faithfulness, revealing His heart and fulfilling our needs.

Prayer:

Lord, help me prioritize time with You as eagerly as I do my favorite activities. Draw me closer and make our meetings a daily joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prophetic Word For Year 5785/2025: Witchcraft Control & Wealth Transfer

September 15, 2024

On Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024, we start a new biblical year with the Lord, 5785.

I want to remind you that 5784 (2024) was marked as a “Kingdom Era” and the “Gates of Glory.” 5784 focused on the power of our voices in spiritual warfare to open doors of blessing and invite God's presence, as highlighted in Psalm 24. We were encouraged to be vigilant in our faith declarations to experience a new phase of revival and Kingdom authority. (Link to article). I experienced new gates of glory in my attitude, the fruit of the Spirit, and a new authority in my personal life and ministry. Have you?

As for 5785/2025, this is what I believe the Holy Spirit is showing me. The reason God reveals these things to us is that He is the Spirit of Truth, who reveals things to come to help us discern times and seasons and do something about it for His glory and to serve the earth better. I mention this because some approach prophetic words like horoscopes or in a psychic mode, thereby contaminating what is holy.

We prophesy in part, and this is what I see coming:

In 5785/2025, the spirit of control will continue escalating. It is beyond what we see and whom we blame! People are just vessels to an invisible will or wills. We think we are in control, and we are to some extent, yet the spiritual realm is involved all the time, with the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness at hand. So, it goes beyond governments, laws, or platforms of authority; it is a spirit of control, which is witchcraft.

From the beginning of time, there has been God, who partners with man through his FREE WILL and faith, and there is the devil, who oppresses and forces things upon us, which is the nature of the spirit of witchcraft. To illustrate this, let me explain what witchcraft is by nature. (Watch my free masterclass on witchcraft)

Witchcraft in its highest form is a force that blocks truth or the knowledge of God's truth by oppressing man's free will and subduing it to agree with it to allow it into the earth.

When someone goes to a witch or psychic asking them to put a spell on someone to MAKE THEM fall in love, this is witchcraft. Where is that person's free will? Now demons are involved to oppress this person against their free will. That person can still choose, but they are now under oppression, feeling they have no other choice but to love. The one casting the spell is also deceived and foolish. I would never want someone to be forced to love me; that isn't true love! True love is a communication of one's free will, like JESUS, who freely loves us and invites us to love Him back willingly!

After explaining a bit about the spirit of control and witchcraft, let's go back to the word of the Lord for 5785/2025.

The spirit of control will escalate!!! You can call it government, laws, technology, etc., but it is a spiritual war. Control is exercised by threatening a person's assets and provisions. Lebanon went through this and is still experiencing it! No Lebanese can access their funds in the banks. This is not due to a legal restriction or protecting our economy from an instant crash upon withdrawal; it is witchcraft in action—it is illegal and unjust!

This year, we will witness an escalation of this controlling spirit and the unlocking of more depths and hierarchies of these spirits of control. Where is the good news? Glad you asked. It is in the title of this word: “Wealth Transfer.”

It is a year for wealth transfer! But it will be established after a battle. God commanded the Egyptians to give back and more to His people everything they needed to leave slavery and worship Him in the wilderness. I'd rather worship the Lord in a wilderness with less than be a slave in Babel.

God wants to release wealth to His people, but He has at the top of His list those who are ready to worship Him with these assets and treasures. You may receive some too, because He loves you! But God wants to entrust His worshipers with wealth to advance His Kingdom on earth.

Those not in covenant with God will experience the suffering and oppression of the spirit of control. Let's also remember (BECAUSE WE WON'T FORGET, though we forgive) how they forced everyone to take the COVID-19 vaccines (I didn't). Control is the mark of the beast! That was not a preventive approach or precaution to save humanity though we thank them for their love, care, and efforts; but it was a spirit of control/witchcraft. That was witchcraft in the health area. This year, it could manifest in other realms and areas too! Be watchful.

If you belong to the Lord, He is your economy, and you are not under the oppression of the spirit of witchcraft. God will even use you to break this oppression off of others. So, let's say you are a Christian banker: be just, even if it costs you, for God will bless you back! Freedom is costly, and serving others in the goodness of the Lord is too!

You can pray about this prophetic word and position yourself now to take authority over what is coming, not out of fear, but out of faith and discernment of times and seasons. You can mark your soul, body, health, assets, family, house, cars, job, etc., as the Lord's and not for the spirit of control.

God is greater, and His glory on you shall be seen in the coming gross darkness. Let’s escalate in His glorious freedom as we advance in the end times and keep reaching out to a dying world crying for the Savior. Preach, Church!

We appreciate your sowing into us for this year. You never go wrong by sowing intentionally to the Lord and this ministry, declaring that you honor the Lord with your finances, and that money is not an idol for you; it is not your source—God is. Thanks for your generous sowing! You can sow prophetically too and have fun creatively by playing with numbers 57.85, 578.5, 20.25, or 202.5 or more.

Yes, I want to sow now!

You can also request the year prophetic word for 5785/2025 or your birthday year too, and we will pray for you and send you the word of the Lord.

Yes, Prophesy For Me Please.

Happy Blessed New Year in the Lord, y’all!

Sinning: A Mix of Godly Desires and Demonic Influence

September 5, 2024

Sinning is never godly, but the motivations behind it can be a mix of godly desires, demonic influence, and human nature. In this article, I will explain the spiritual dynamics that drive a person toward sin.

A First Narrative (A Biblical Story): Jacob & Esau

In Genesis 25 through 27, we read that the story of Jacob and Esau is a biblical narrative about twin brothers who competed for their father Isaac's blessing! Before their birth, the Lord revealed to their mother, Rebekah, that they would be twins, and the older brother would serve the younger. Esau, the firstborn, was a skilled hunter, while Jacob was a quiet man who preferred to stay indoors.

Near the end of his life, Isaac desired to bestow his blessing upon his firstborn son, Esau. However, Esau, unaware of the Lord's prophecy, despised his birthright and sold it to Jacob in exchange for a bowl of lentil stew. Later, when Isaac was preparing to give the blessing, Rebekah, knowing that Esau was not the intended recipient, disguised Jacob as Esau and helped him deceive Isaac. Jacob received the blessing, which included promises of land, prosperity, and God's favor. Esau was furious when he discovered the deception and vowed to kill Jacob.

Observation and discernment:

At the root of Jacob's motivation to deceive his father Isaac and his brother Esau was a genuine pure desire, influenced by an old prophecy. Jacob was given more honor regarding the birthright than his brother Esau. That is the godly part in the process. Jacob was indeed aligned with God's will, but the means of receiving this great blessing were wicked. Jacob deceived his father Isaac and his brother Esau. Deception is a demonic spirit that partnered with Jacob's sinful mindset to attain and obtain something godly. Sinning is partly motivated by godly desires and partly influenced by dark forces. Mix a truth with a lie and you get the recipe for deception!

Rebekah and Jacob had another option besides deception and dividing the family. They could have gone to the Lord regarding the prophecy and asked Him for the right, godly way to receive it. Yet, they partnered with darkness to achieve something good.

People are driven every day to behave in the same way. Most, at their core, desire something good, but they partner with the demonic and their sinful nature to attain it.

A Second Narrative:

A man who looks at other men and feels drawn to observe them is often labeled as gay or perverted by the devil and society. I remember growing up with a strong interest in observing men—how they carried themselves, their appearance, their beards, their presence, how they interacted with women, how they drove or played sports like basketball. I would look at them online (back when the internet was primitive) and in my daily life. I was a young man in the making! At that time, no one explained to me that it was a healthy and godly drive to be drawn to my “tribe” of men because I was meant to be part of them. Instead, I became vulnerable to lying spirits, which took advantage of my lack of truth, clarity, and foundation, labeling me as a pervert. And for a time, I believed it, like many other young boys do today.

Why do so many boys and girls fall into confusion and sexual bondage? It's because no one teaches them that sinning can be a mixture of godly desire and demonic influence. They seek connection with their peers, which is a godly desire, but they do it in the wrong way. They pursue something good through dark means because they are deceived and unable to discern the mix of truth and lies.

My life’s mission is to stand on the mountaintop and shout to an entire generation: You are starting with a godly desire in your heart, but you don’t need to partner with deception to reach it. God, who begins a good work in you, can bring it to completion!

It was a revelation that knocked the devil out of his seat when I realized this truth. Wow! Drop the word *DISCERNING* in the comments below. After that Holy Spirit mentoring, I reconciled with myself and my tribe of men, and yes, I am interested in MEN in a healthy, godly way.

If, as a boy or an adult, you’re NOT interested in belonging, something is wrong or you’ve been traumatized. On my phone, you’ll find pictures of men with long beards, strong bodies, and some doing bold activities. I don’t care about anyone’s opinion because I now understand the truth, and I want to help you reach that understanding too.

Why am I writing this article? I don’t have to, but you may be a mother struggling because your children have labeled themselves, or others have labeled them, as gay just because they showed interest in their peers. This article is for you, to help them navigate this season without falling into sin by pursuing godly drives in perverted ways. Let’s teach and disciple an entire generation about this truth. The devil is a liar, and he always mixes truth with lies to create a deceptive prison.

Men desire three types of relationships with other men: Friendship, brotherhood, and fatherhood. People who identify as gay may be seeking these godly connections in a distorted, sexual way, not realizing they can have them in a pure and meaningful form. But this is how they are discipled, they don't know any better.

I have much more to share about discernment because I have learned to master this with the Holy Spirit.

“Don’t stifle the Spirit, and don’t scoff at prophecies. On the other hand, don’t be gullible. Check out everything, and KEEP ONLY what’s good. Throw out anything tainted with evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 (MSG)

Drop your thoughts in the comments: Why do you think people fall into watching porn? What is the godly desire behind it that is being pursued through dark means? Let’s activate this conversation below, and I will reply to mentor you in this fun exercise.

God bless you

The Ministry of Intercession in the End Times

September 1, 2024

“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!' And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!' Let the one who is thirsty come, and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.” Revelation 22:17 (NIV)

The Bible ends with this verse!

I understand the Spirit and the Bride saying “Come” as the ministry of intercession! It is a heart cry, a prayer asking for the Kingdom of Jesus to come. As we approach the end of this dispensation, prayer, and intercession will be restored and increased to greater levels. It's no wonder that we are seeing houses of worship rising worldwide. There is a growing recruitment of intercessors, driven by the urgent need for intercession because the days are dark!

Are you feeling a deep stirring within you for intercession?

I have personally experienced an accelerated upgrade in intercession. The Spirit within me, as the Bride of Christ, is praying fervently for people and nations. These are often quick prayers, but they are weighty, anointed by the Spirit, and reaching the throne of Grace and Mercy. I find myself interceding for various matters, even while doing the dishes. I hear names—sometimes unfamiliar names—and feel prompted about future events, then quickly partner with the Holy Spirit in prayer. It is increasing! Are you experiencing the same escalation?

The High Priest, Compassion Himself, visited Abraham to invite him to intercede for Sodom and Gomorrah. We often perceive God as rushing toward destruction, but He makes every effort to save us. Abraham responded to this divine invitation to intercede with Jehovah, and so will the Bride respond to the nudges of the Spirit. We will gain insight, change lives, and witness the impact of God’s loving kindness and mercy.

You are part of His end-times activity.

I even see, in the spirit, a vision of incense grains sticking to your lips. You are His royal priest, positioned with the Lord, and He is waiting for you to make a difference in your generation and in generations to come because your prayers have a ripple effect that doesn't fade.

God in your prayer life is the X-factor, and no one can surpass Him, just as Nebuchadnezzar declared: “Heaven has dominion.”

It’s time to awaken to your identity and position in Christ as the most authoritative being on earth. It’s time to send and release missiles of glory, power, deliverance, altar-breaking, healing, love, joy, peace, righteousness, sanity to kings, protection, and more.

That's why we invite you by the Spirit to be part of your prayer team, create one maybe at your home, and join our NEWLY launched prophetic intercession ministry called: “The Checkdate”.

God bless you,
Tony Francis

What is the Holy Spirit Saying to the United States of America?

August 11, 2024

Long before Jesus Christ resurrected Lazarus from the dead after four days, Jesus was already a friend of Lazarus, and nothing could take away that bond. This is the same kind of relationship between the Lord and America. America's death, decay, chaos, and confusion cannot sever the realm of friendship between her and Jesus. Your friendship remains!

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)

The relationship between America and the Lord is very special; not many are called friends of Jesus. Friends have benefits and special favors, you know. A covenant in friendship is different from other kinds of relationships. Take, for example, David and Jonathan in the Old Testament.

America will indulge in the benefits of her friendship with Yeshua! This is not a fleeting friendship; it has been there for a long, long time. Jesus holds on to these kinds of relationships.

I strongly sense that the Lord will wipe away the shame from America—its culture, its people, and the Church of America. Shame is on Jesus' table now; it is His priority! I can't be a friend to someone and bring shame to them—I refuse that. I aim to glorify my friends, the dear ones. Yeshua is the Glory and the Lifter of America's head!

As the USA turns back to Jesus, glory will begin to be restored to her. Like Nebuchadnezzar, who was gloriously restored after years of shame and being dethroned, the Word of God says that Nebuchadnezzar's latter days were greater than the former, and God moved mightily after He restored him because he looked up and acknowledged the God of Heaven. (See Daniel 4:34-37)

Will you look up again, America, to Jesus? Your greatness in servanthood began on the Rock of Ages, and God wants to restore that. I see a great fiery move of the Holy Spirit among the young people in America, and this move is beyond anything compared to Azusa and beyond.

Glory to every sector, area, and system in America, God's friend!

God bless you,
Tony Francis
