To all who have been a part of Discerning the Times.

Blessings and Merry Christmas!   

As many of you know, we have been at work preparing a new course called Kingdom Advance: Praying Thy Kingdom Come.  I believe this course will be essential in praying for the work of the Holy Spirit in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.  I hope you can join us for this course.

Also I would appreciate your strong prayers for protection as well as guidance from the Holy Spirit while I am working with Bernie McGale to write a book based on the content of this course.

Above all want to thank you for being a part of Discerning the Times and joining us in this work of prayer and discernment.  I pray we all have blessed and wonderful Christmas.

In Christ

The purpose of this equipping course  is to develop the spiritual tools needed to cooperate with Jesus Christ in defeating the demonic strongholds of radical Islam and to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ to Muslims worldwide.

This course will consist of a series of  video lessons offered to all those who may be called into this work of prayer.  These course can accessed online with a Dunamis Institute account (see below).   We will be releasing these lesson over the next couple of months, so please keep an eye on the Discerning the Times emails for more information.

This course consists of the following sections: 

Section # 1 – Preparation & Discerning Call

Section # 2 – Praying Thy Kingdom Come!  (Jesus’ definition of the Kingdom of God that we are called to pray in)

Section # 3 – The Father’s Master Strategy for Advancing the Kingdom of God (The basic forms of prayer engagement that God the Father calls us to in order for His plans to be fulfilled on earth)

Section # 4 – Discerning the Times  (This deals with how we discern, the nature of the demonic strongholds that are being formed through Radical Islam and their long term purpose of destroying the Jewish people and the Christian Church and imposing the bondage of Sharia Law worldwide)

Section # 5 – Into the Battle with Jesus Christ – This focuses on applying the spiritual weapons of warfare and engaging the demonic strongholds of Radical Islam. (This will include ISIS and others related to the changing threat situation.  It will provide practical instruction of the prayer tactics that the Holy Spirit may call us to use in order to do our part in defeating these strongholds in order that Muslims may be set free from demonic bondage to be able to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ).

The Teachers are:

The Rev.  Bernie McGale, the Director of the Tower Project, who came in over Skype from Canada.    Bernie brings discernment as well as practical experience on both the war in heaven and on earth.

The Rev. Dr. Dan Juster, the leader of Tikkun Ministries Int’l., he is a major leader in the Jewish Messianic movement  who lives in Jerusalem .  He called in from the front lines and the epicenter  of this war in the heavenlies. The analysis and prophetic words he brings come as a strong confirmation that this prayer engagement is on track.

The Rev. Doug McMurrey is an anointed teacher!! He brought the Biblical and historical grounding to the teaching. He was really anointed to bring the teaching on the Kingdom of God as well as practical work of prayer.

Mary Ellen Conners also joined us on the teaching team,  giving her insight as to the work of prayer.  Her ability to raise great questions gives us the opportunity to refine our thoughts and also helps to connect the teaching to the everyday life of the believer.

Rev. Dr. Brad Long   is the teacher and the organizer of the course. He brings years of practical experience in actually engaging demonic storngholds.  He also brings gifts of discernment as well as an understanding of the nature of how Satan works on earth to accomplish his evil purposes.

The First Three Video Lessons are  intended to help you discern your calling to take part in this work.

Video # 1 – Discerning your call to the role of Intercessor and discerning the calling as to whether you are to engage in this prayer.

Video # 2 – The three aspects of Call as they relate to the invitation to intercession.
