Subject: FROM DAVID ANDRADE MY HEART FELT APPEAL TO THE BODY OF CHRIST MOVING TOWARD 11/11/14 The essay below is to quicken believers as to why we are not seeing the Holy Spirit come and move in power and demonstration in the measure, we petition before the throne. We are in a battle for our existence. Hell is planning around the clock, maneuvering to attempt to take out the church in America. Here is only a portion of his plan. And the remedy to turn his plan on himself. For those of you that don’t know who I am, my name is David Andrade. This is a request, to recognize Satan’s devises and to turn our attention to what is coming to America should we ignore to arrest him in the church and in our lives from his work at hand in the church. If you are asking who I am or why would I have any experience concerning this battle, I am in it right now petitioning your prayer to bring change to America and rather set our hearts to what is important to the Father’s heart, Souls…… What are my qualifications; Well, I have been hung, stabbed on 2 different occasion, strangled and left for dead. Each time Jesus brought me back to continue the work of God. This did not happen in some foreign land but in America for the sake of the Gospel. Theses scares are all I offer as proof of the war that wages. This is a request also for help and partner with the Line in the Sand Team for Angel Stadium 11/11/2014 and Israel 3/20/2015 alineinthesandIsrael2015 alineinthesandAngelStadium2014 11/11/14 GLOBAL CALL SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS 03/20/25 A LINE IN THE SAND Israel 11/11/15 A LINE IN THE SAND ANGEL STADIUM LOVE DAVID ANDRADE Our team needs your prayers and support. The warfare moving toward these meeting has been severe, but we continue. At the moment, some have come and even tried to highjack the name to cause confusion and turn us from our task. Others have tried to force compliance to their conditions. We covet your prayers. The Battle Plan THE ENEMY OF CORPORATE UNITY AND THE WORK OF GOD / DEALING WITH SPIRITUAL DARKNESS We all hold our unique Holy Spirit gift given to us from Jesus. I have learned that every trial has a purpose and work in us. Trials come to prepare and equip us for what we will need to complete our assignment, to whatever the task of God in you may be. Each trial is evidence of his hand and promotion. In October of last year, I received a prophetic word from Prophet Chuck Pierce by email concerning my future. I seldom hear from Chuck, but his words were both timely and kept me focused not to retreat concerning the battle I had just stepped into. Two of his words got my attention, (1) I was being promoted and (2nd) repositioned. Well it sounds great but the reality is that both words reveal that you are about to enter into a battle and that the demons you will deal with have more authority than the ones before and your assignment is to vacate them and take their seat of authority.” In case you don’t know, that is the assignment to every believer. As a new believer in the early 70’s I questioned, Are Christians supposed to go through these types of battles. Shortly after receiving the wonderful gift of Baptism of the Holy Spirit, I was also quickened that this wonderful gift had aroused a Hatian, Santaria Coven directly across the street from our home and that for the next 15 yrs a battle would rage that would affect all in the neighborhood, my house, wife and even my children. In the early 80’s, I received a call from the assistant to Alberto Rivera. At that time I did not know or recall who the man was and continued to ignore the calls for the next 6 months , until, the assistant asked on a call, “Do you know who Alberto River is.” I said “no”. He responded, he is the one that the Chick tract, Crusader magazines were about. I had read them and agreed to meet Dr. Rivera. I was probably one of the most unlikely people for Dr. Alberto to ask for assistance from because at the time, I was still Roman Catholic and he was always at odds with the Catholic Church. When I asked him why he was asking me, He said, I don’t need someone that has a great portfolio, or even smart, only one that can handle the warfare and not quit. Part of his ministry was pulling witches out of their craft, leading them to Christ and getting them filled with the Holy Spirit of God. I saw some try to take him out on several occasions and fall to the ground and begin to vomit white bile in public places and restaurants as he would exercise those demons out of them on the spot, lead them to Jesus and get them filled with the Holy Spirit. Oh they hated him. He and his wife, Nury would then take them in and stabilize them until they were able to stand on their own. But I could have never stood with Dr. Rivera for the time I was with him if I had not experienced the 15 years of hell from across the street and gone through the Holy Spirit’s boot camp. Since that time I have been able to help others like the prophet Paul Cain go through their time of difficulty. The Satan Battle Wages satan is clever. to often, he uses believers to hinder one another and distract attention away from himself. In this manner he uses believers to resist one another and demise the work of God...... UNCOVERING his UNSEEN DEVISES. He knows that the church is powerful. He knows that the church has authority over him and all his diabolical schemes and demon buddies. • Therefore, to render the Church ineffective, he refocuses the Church to misuse its God-given authority negatively against itself. How? By blind siding believers to speak against one another - cursing one another and belittling the work of God. I curse you, you another, then they another. It is an endless circle of the authority of the Church used against itself, creating a spiritual atmosphere of rejection, offense and disallowance, uninhabitable to the Holy Spirit of God. Should you think this is not worth mentioning, these are two of twelve precepts recognized in the teaching of the church of satan. Jesus exemplifies the authority given to the Church, calling it, the very keys to the Kingdom of God and of heaven. Matthew 16:19 “And I will give unto you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall also be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you loose on the earth shall also be loosed in heaven.” In Matthew 18:18 “I speak the truth to you, whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” THE CONTEXT OF MATTHEW 18 PERTAINING TO FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION My attention is immediately drawn to the passage of verse 21 “How many times shall I forgive my brother?” Peter’s immediate attention is not focused on the authority of the church but rather the issue of forgiveness. Is part of the conversation centered on binding and losing an expose concerning how unforgiveness affects the church; especially when verse 15 is dealing with offenses? “If my brother has trespassed against me.” MATTHEW 18:19-20, “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. (v20) For where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of you.” Not discounting the significance of the power of agreement in verse 19, the actual contents of the verse may better read, when the two of you who disagree come together to agree, choosing to forgive one another and be reconciled concerning offense, to rather walk in harmony (relationship), for My Name sake, no matter how big the obstacle of offense is that separates you, I (Jesus) will be there with you in your midst with my empowering grace and overwhelming presence, and My Father who is in heaven will bring His miraculous miracle into the relationship, no matter how big or wide your distance of separation. Matthew 5:25 reads “Agree with your adversary quickly, while you walk with him; lest at any time the adversary turn you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison (v26) It is the truth, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.“ SO THEN THE QUESTION IS ??? Will our hostility and unwillingness to forgive and be reconciled to one another confine us to a spiritual prison and hinder the presence of God from having its full release in our personal lives and in the lives of the body of believers. The contents of verse 25 suggest the importance for reconciliation when one suspects offense. Church growth studies reveal that approximately 64% of all offenses in the church originate from presumption. (Suspicions that have no base in fact or truth). One area of offense predominate among some believers is the need to view some individual as the enemy when there is something good in the works. This is not a pretext that someone is about to undermine the labor. Imagined suspicion usually focus on a disliked, vulnerable or wounded individual that becomes the scapegoat. PROPHETIC MINISTRY, WHAT IT IS? / WHAT IT IS NOT? The purpose for spiritual gifts is not to reinforce suspicions, but rather to remove the obstacles of relationship one with another, bringing us together into intimacy with the Father and to empower the presence of God. Those who believe that responding in a hostile posture is the nature of the Holy Spirit, need to understand that the source of these mannerisms originate with the other guy. The Biblical protocol for prophecy is to edify, exhort and comfort. These focus on the Holy Spirit’s deposit and work into an individual or corporate body and not continually focus upon what is condescending, judgmental and what is wrong with people. Prophecy and discerning of spirits are subject to the judgment of the prophets and Scripture is the final authority, so that mistakes do not undermine the spiritual atmosphere in the corporate body. In Revelation 3:7 Jesus commends the church of Philadelphia because they have learned to open heavens spiritual doors. In (v8) their faithfulness to the Word of the Lord, they have learned to counteract the church of satan. This is a church that has learned to use the keys of the Kingdom to unravel satan rather than the Church of Jesus Christ. One may be unaware of the meaning of the word curse. The same word translated to bless (barak) to create by speaking praise‚ can also be translated to curse, to create by speaking bitterly. SC#1288 bar-rak‚ Heb) In this manner, satan never needs to expose himself. He watches entertained as the dominos fall. The authority of the Church used against itself has never been what the Head, Jesus had in mind; cursing one another, binding one another, judging one another, condemning one another, disallowing one another, on and on. Take a moment to contemplate how powerful the Church would be, if it would use only half of the hostility that it displays toward one another on the enemy of its soul. God’s righteous anger turned against the kingdom and powers of hell and not against fellow believers. What is to come out of our mouth is very specific in the context of scripture. Our words are for (1 Corinthians 14:3) edification, exhortation (focus) and comfort, and these word are to(Romans 1:11) establish, (Ephesians 4:29) impart grace, (1 Peter 3:9) bless and (1Timothy 1:18) build the Kingdom of God and give the devil hell. AFTERTHOUGHT: I believe that many gatherings of believers are hindered by a corporate conscious willful consent to agree to negative conversation. Unfortunately, when we agree to the wrong attitudes, we muster the spiritual atmosphere and hinder the work of the Holy Spirit. In essence we get what we agree to. James 3:13-14 exemplifies his point, that bitter envying, division and strife is a nesting place for earthly, sensual and devilish activity, which births confusion and every evil work. The question remains, ‘how is it that some feel that their circumstance is the exception to the rule?’ When we continue to justify actions that agree with the legitimacy of broken relationships, the other guy says, “Now that’s a brother or sister I can get along with!” CORPORATE UNITY CREATES A HABITATION OR AN OPEN HEAVEN, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LIFT US INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE FATHER: Eph. 2:21-22 “In whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. (v22) In whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit‚. In other words, unity, (unbroken relationships) create an atmosphere inhabitable and blessed by the Holy Spirit.” DEALING WITH A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT TOWARD OTHERS. What is a religious spirit? A religious spirit is easily characterized by an attitude that says, “God and I have an issue with you and since God is not here to take care of you, I will speak and act on His behalf. And God is not going to forgive you, and neither do I. This spirit is void of love, always critical, judgmental, void of protecting the reputation of others, and rather works to divide people in their relationship and preys on those who do not fight back. It looks, tastes and feels like fortune telling and witch-craft. It is the same spirit that hung Jesus on the cross. In actuality God has nothing to do with the issue. But a religious spirit says, My issue is more important than your relationship”. It focuses on personal issues or agenda, as a legitimate reason to break relationship and drive others to prejudice against an individual or individuals resulting in offense and creating a disallowing atmosphere uninhabitable by the Holy Spirit. THE GOD DREAM KILLERS: Understand that the God of heaven, who gives bountifully to all, has deposited into each believing child of God, His deposit and with it a God dream or vision to establish Gods kingdom on the earth, imparts into each His anointing, which is a part of God Himself. (1 Cor. 12:4-7) Unfortunately the church can be political and territorial. Protecting our turf ensures that we will remain fragmented and unconnected from the agenda of the Father and what is in His heart or concern. Instead of blessing the dreams and anointing of another, recognizing that God is in you and you and you to equal +1+1+1+1 = a big God vision, we often disallow the gifting and anointing that the Father has deposited in each (1 Cor. 12:22-25) so that the body looks more like -1-1-1-1 = a church divided with no power over satans devises. The church is the only place 20 different ministries or individuals on the same block can all have the same dream, in the same territory, for the same thing and God use all of them for great God things, and no one is out of the will of God. 1 Cor 12:4-6 We serve a big God of infinite possibilities, who is able to complete His dream in every one of us. When we disallow another, we are disallowing the God who gave the dream, not trusting our God to fulfill His promise in us or in anyone else. The God in whom nothing is impossible. And those we turn away may have invested in them the very gift we need to see our dream come to completion. So would it not be better to encourage one another to be believers of Big God Possibilities, to be, Big God Dream Achievers. An illustration from the life of Moses, (Ex. Chapters 32-34) Moses had received an anointing that was visible. The reflection of God’s Glory radiated from his very person, a reflection of God’s deposit into the life of Moses. He had been in the presence of the Father, crying out for his generation. Yet when he returned from the mountain, this powerful anointing invested in him was disallowed. God did not disallow it, the people did. It was an anointing for his day and hour. One that might have brought Israel into true relationship to worship, In an Open Heaven with the Father. 2 Cor. 3:7-12, an anointing that may never arise in another again. If you disagree in this respect see 1 Peter 2:7. The passage reads that Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone was disallowed (because people were stumbled in their understanding and offended at Him). The Spirit of the Lord once impressed on me, ‘Be careful who you turn away, it maybe the very one I sent to bless you’‚ AFTERTHOUGHT: We are all individually crafted for the Master’s use. Some have a special anointing to sustain others in a particular place in God, some, to build bridges between God’s people and others move the church from one plateau to another. Those who are gifted to move others to a new place often fault those who sustain people in a certain place, finding them nauseatingly slow or in the way of God. So they criticize or dismiss them as being out of His will or in the way of God, when in fact that is their God-given strategic anointing to the Body of Christ, one to care for what God has already provided for and the other to move the church forward. MY HEART FELT APPEAL Dear friends, I know that there are those that have experienced the trauma of betrayal by Christian brothers and sisters. I only reminisce some of my personal experiences in hope that this message will encourage you to emerge and take a step of faith beyond your soul wound into your God ordained destiny, And to others, I address a heart issue in the church that many may need to place in repentance before the feet of Jesus. It certainly is difficult at times to show grace and forgive those that are unable to see any good or deposit of God in us or that would like to keep us small or make us feel that we are in their way or in the way of God. Through the years, I have received a few physical wounds in the service of the Lord. I was left dead on the street less than 6 months after receiving the Lord. 14 yrs after, I was knifed in the neck in Pasadena and about 7 yrs latter to the buttocks with a large screwdriver. All of that leaves a mark or 2 on your soul and physical limitations that never go away. Though in service to the Lord. we always accept those as possibilities, still, nothing can prepare one for betrayal among those with whom we labor and love. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Arriving at a Conference in Northern California, I was completely humiliated by the leadership as I walked in the door. Though I had done nothing and there was never an accusation brought against me, they placed me in a corner and told me to be still and aggressively set me down when I would rise to worship. Much of the equipment there was mine and though we had sponsored much of the Summit, I was quit hurt and angry. If it had not been that the summit needed the equipment and concern for the other attendees, I would have walked out at that time and taken everything with me. So, I left it with the Lord. 6 weeks latter, I was invited to speak again in Northern California. When I arrived, there were only about 6 or 7, but I did not think much about it. Then, one of them looped a rope around me from behind and threw it over the banister and tugged it tight while the others watched. He said, this is a prophetic act. You have brought a Jezebel spirit to our region and we are cutting it at the root. There invitation to speak was a setup to come and humiliate me further. In almost 15 years, I am still unable to get that out of my system. Once in a blue moon, I run into one of them and they still feel justified in what they did, though to this day I have no clue what all of it was about. Still, we press on in the Lord. He gives grace every morning and I rejoice. So, if you are not serving God because of betrayal, and I know how difficult it can be, God is with you, and not against you. There will always be those that engage filters that say you are not good enough, or they are the ones, or your qualifications are inadequate for the job, or use you as a excuse why they are unable to fulfill their destiny, or after 30 years, still wait for you to fail. labor or destiny. But know as a surety, that this is not the nature of the Spirit of God and He has not abandoned you. According to James 3: This is the nature of the other guy. Instead, our Father and His Son have accepted you for the task and though your beginnings may be small, He will anoint you on the way and reward you openly. THE ENEMY OF CORPORATE AGREEMENT/ DEALING WITH UNFORGIVENESS AND DIVISION. Religious Pride, The Enemy of Unity in The Body: Remember the illustration Jesus used in Matthew 5:23-24: ‘Therefore if you present your gift before the altar and there remember that your brother has been offended by your actions, (v24) leave your gift before the altar and go to your brother and find the way to be reconciled to him, then come again to offer your gift’. Jews are taught not to give the right answer but rather to ask the right questions. The questions being, ‘where is your brother that usually comes with you to worship? Why is he not here with you, Has he broken off his relationship? Is it because of you?’ Remember the Father is not interested in our religion, otherwise He would not have sent Jesus to die to clear away every obstacle that obstructs our relationship with the Father. There was plenty of religion around before Jesus came to sacrifice His life on our behalf. Religion is what we offer God when we are not seeking Him in relationship. Religion is man made. Relationship is God-made. INCORRECT WESTERN EUROPEAN THINKING ONCERNING MATTHEW CHAPTER 5, 6, 18 The numerous clues in Chapter 18 and the gift referred to in Matthew 5:23 most likely pertain to the trespass or the sin offering. If this is so, Jesus exemplifies the point that to say one forgives without the action of reconciliation is valueless. Furthermore, contrary to western thinking, these verses do not defend the right to corporately challenge a brother or sister when we disagree with their ministry style or should they fail to meet our expectations. The Jewish offering in these verses deals with the indifference between individuals that fail to show honor and respect concerning moral law boundries, pointing to the TEN COMMANDMENTS (mandates pertaining to Relationships Com to come together / mandates ) as their point of reference. These ten mandates related to honor and respect in relationship between first, God, second, the family and thirdly between one another. One might note that the fourth commandment begins with the word, honor. Jesus is saying, “If an individual truly loves God, they will not allow personal issues to interfere with their relationship with Him or others.” WHAT IS THE TRUE IMPLICATION OF MATTHEW 18: When your brother or sister come to you to be reconciled, you do not have a biblical right to refuse them. Jesus said you must forgive her/him and be reconciled. It is most unfortunate when we are so willing to discard wonderful relationships over so much about nothing. Moral issues are the only Biblical precedent for ministry dismissal and these kinds of challenges must follow the strict guidelines of Deuteronomy 19:15- 19 and not at the discretion of the prophets and ‘thus says the Lord’. But my friends, this challenge pertains only to moral issues based on confirmed facts in violation of the commandments, in the mouth of two or three witnesses, not someone’s prophecy, alternate opinion or suspicion. It is very important that we don’t confuse the obligation of the Church to safeguard itself morally with challenging others over non biblical trifles. THERE ARE PEOPLE, I JUST CANNOT WORK WITH The reality of life is that there are some individuals that repeatedly do us harm. Out of good sense, it is better not to work too closely with some or keep them at a distance for a variety of reasons. But nevertheless, we can maintain an attitude that blesses and does not place limits on God’s work or deposit in them. AFTERTHOUGHT: Jesus said we would see His Glory, when we have love one for another. Jesus spoke of this relationship in John 17:21 “Father you are in me and I in you, and they also in us‚. At this point the whole world will take notice! Why? Because of the demonstration of His Glory clothed in love will not be a storybook tale, but reality. (That the world may know)!!!
