Time to Reflect

Joyce continues Westchester Chapel's "Times of Cementing" series, with a message on taking time to reflect upon the major lesson learned from our series "What Happens When a Created People Walk Away From Their Creator?" The message to Fear -- Reverence -- God is found in Ecclesiastes 5:1-7. I did a dramatic reading of the Scripture. Joyce opens the service by joining 100 million people praying over Israel on this Pentecost Sunday; Israel celebrates its 75th Diamond Anniversary as a modern nation. Read more about the global prayer initiative at www.Isaiah62Fast.com. Joyce also prays for those who served in the military.

Update on Kirk Cameron’s Story Hours

Victory News used footage I took last December for IFA, and IFA ran that Victory News story:

Lord, continue to empower Kirk Cameron as he tells his story to children and points them to truth. Open more doors, especially where they’ve been shut to him by those who prefer to promote anti-Christ agendas. Woo these confused ones into your kingdom and sanctify them.

Kirk Cameron updated Victory News on his tour of public libraries with his book As You Grow. He was initially turned down by more than 50 libraries which hold Drag Queen Story Hours. Cameron said many of the libraries told him, “Our people don’t align with your values.” The reality is that whenever he is allowed to share the libraries are overwhelmed with thousands, as was the case at his reading in Scarsdale, NY, last December, as we reported.

Have a blessed Pentecost Sunday! Here's how I tell the story in my one-man play, The Acts, at www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/Pentecost.

Go Through the Gates

Since Easter every night I’ve woken in the night and sensed Holy Spirit leading me to a passage of Scripture. I’ve hash-tagged the photos, observations, and prayers that have come from these sweet times of fellowship with the Lord #ScriptureInTheNight on both Facebook and Instagram.

Starting on May 17 I’ve felt led to go through Isaiah 62, with more than a million, who are praying for Jerusalem right now. Last night verse 9 placed us in the courts:

Tonight we go through the gates. If memory serves, there were multiple courts in the temple, and certain people were able to get closer to the Lord than others. This was a man-made system, but the tabernacle design was given by the Lord, and there was only one court, and it was for all. In both systems only the priests could enter the Holy Place to minister to the Lord, and only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year.

Before we attended the Asbury Outpouring my favorite time of worship was at the tabernacle in the wilderness of Israel pictured above, in 2005. As we got closer and closer to the Holy of Holies worship got more and more intense, and then we pulled back the veil…or at least we tried! It was stapled shut! I guess the designer didn’t know the actual veil was torn from top to bottom like a father ripping his shirt when his son died, opening the way for all who receive what He did for us to enter the Holy of Holies.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split.
Matthew 27:51, ESV

As we join our prayers with more than a million (www.Isaiah62Fast.com) for Israel, let’s pray that many enter into the presence of the Father through the Son!

The 21 day fast for Jerusalem ends on May 28, which is Pentecost this year. Here's my portrayal of what happened from my one-man play The Acts: www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/Pentecost.

Maranatha

Dr. Linda Warren led Joyce to the Lord when Joyce worked for her at Sports Illustrated. Dr. Warren recently spoke about her own journey to the Lord -- which culminated at Maranatha Church of the Nazarene -- at Maranatha Church of the Nazarene. But what does Maranatha mean? You're about to find out...

Dr. Linda and her husband, Pastor Jim Warren, commissioned my play The Revelation. Our church, Westchester Chapel Church of the Nazarene will be doing a series on the Book of Revelation. Sign up to find out when. 

Satanic Ritual at Pro-Life Center

I wrote an intro for this story for www.HeadlinePrayer.org:

Lord, our hearts are grieved by the slaughter of innocents. How horrible that those who thirst after the blood of humans would shed the blood of animals to worship Satan and frighten those doing Your work! Bring them under conviction, O God of the Angel Armies! Break curses off the workers and patients at the JMJ Pregnancy Center!

The decapitated bodies of three animals — including a lamb — were found outside a pro-life pregnancy center on May 10. The Satanic Temple has an “abortion ritual,” and Bob Perron, executive director of the JMJ Pregnancy Center in Orlando, Florida, believes slaughtering animals outside their clinic, which provides other options to women, could possibly be a ritual and attack from satanists.

An Update from Kirk Cameron

Victory News interviewed Kirk Cameron to ask how his book reading series is going:

 

Victory Channel reached out to get permission to use footage I took for Intercessors for America at the Scarsdale Library when Kirk Cameron read from his book As You Grow.
