Help PRMI be ready for a move of the Holy Spirit

Martin Boardman and I are reaching out to you with a great sense of urgency. As well as expectancy that the Lord is calling us into a heightened time of intercession, as well as a vast expanse of our engagement in defeating demonic strongholds and praying in a manifest move of the Holy Spirit. 

Many of us are aware through prophetic vision as well as a careful analysis of current events and trends that there is something is happening in the heavenlies as well as on earth. Do you witness to this? 

A Time Preceding Revival

We are entering a period of both “Kairos Moments” of God’s work, but also of Satan at work in the “Hour of the Power of Darkness.” 

We are entering a period leading up to the USA Presidential election fraught with the potential for “kairos moments” of the Lord moving in kingdom advancement. But it is also a potential time for the “hour of the power of darkness” when the Adversary is at work seeking to slow, block, or prevent the advancing Kingdom of Jesus Christ.     

On the human political level, this Presidential election has the ominous potential to see the clashing of powerful demonic strongholds based on the evil anti-God ideologies of Marxism, Islam, Nazism, Fascism and the occult invoking the power of Satan.  

This growing potential for an outbreak of evil is the Devil’s reaction to what I believe God has been doing:

• Blocking the Radical Left’s assaults on our Constitution.
• Protecting Israel and the Jewish people.
• Resisting tyranny at home and abroad.
• Restoring freedom and prosperity so the Church may have the human means of fulfilling its mission. 

All these positive developments are giving the church of Jesus Christ the “praying space” to mobilize intercession for a manifest movement of the Holy Spirit. This will ignite, enliven, and empower the Church for witnessing to Jesus Christ.  

Such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit is the only true way to change human hearts and have the cultural as well as the spiritual vision, power, and vitality. As well as God’s blessing to resist, overcome, and actually convert those in bondage to the anti-God demonically empowered ideologies based on Marxism, Islamism, and the occult that Satan is mobilizing.  

This assessment is based on events taking place that many believe may be harbingers of the fulfillment of end-times prophecies. Many of us are convinced, that we are called to pray in what may be the great end-time awakening that will propel the witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To all nations and to restore those people who have fallen away from Biblical saving faith.  

We Need To Be Ready

The Call is Upon PRMI from the Holy Spirit to “Mobilize Equip and Deploy an Army of Intercessors for Defeating Demonic Strongholds and Advancing the Kingdom of God.” 

To prepare for what is ahead, the Lord is already igniting a global prayer movement!  

He is calling PRMI to continue to play a leadership role in this movement in the following ways: 

• The Lord is directing us to continue getting out the “Discerning the Times” blog for enabling all whom Jesus calls to engage in high-level intercession and spiritual warfare through which the Holy Spirit defeats strongholds and advances the Kingdom. 

• We are providing equipping events for intercessors and spiritual warriors, doing special prayer endeavors like sending teams to the epicenters of the advancement of the Kingdom of God, especially to Jerusalem, Israel.   

• We are sustaining and growing a number of prayer networks for concerts of prayer.   

• We are uniquely called and anointed by the Holy Spirit to greatly increase the pace of equipping and deploying highly focused prayer cohorts for high-level intercession and spiritual warfare.   

• We are called to continue to provide in the Dunamis Project the context where God the Father will fulfill Acts 1:4-8, because the Baptism/infilling with the Holy Spirit is the only way that Christians may be empowered to carry on not just this work of prayer, but of growing the Church and advancing the Gospel. 

• In addition to this work, the Lord has called and anointed me to write books for a broader audience in which these principles of prayer that defeat strongholds, shape history, and advance the Kingdom of God are communicated.  

• Further, we are continuing to grow the Community of the Cross our 24-acre prayer and equipping center in Black Mountain, North Carolina. As a global hub of intercession for the global movement of the Holy Spirit by completing the Prayer House to further grow the ongoing work of prayer that is already taking place at the Community of the Cross and in PRMI’s global prayer networks. 

We Need To Expand

The Lord Jesus Christ is calling for more well-equipped Holy Spirit empowered intercessors, more networks, and more prayer cohorts for defeating Satan’s strongholds and fulfilling the Great Commission.   

God is using these efforts! He is already mobilizing and equipping intercessors and spiritual warriors to engage in this work. But because of the urgency of the times, He is expanding the reach of PRMI’s equipping for high-level intercession and spiritual warfare. 

In 2019 we received powerful prophetic words which we believe are from the Lord that in 2020 the Holy Spirit wants to “expand our tent pegs” so He can use PRMI and the Dunimis Fellowship International as key players in the next great awakening.  

 A key component of our role will be expanding the work of prayer that we are already doing.  The reason is that prayer is foundational to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.   And the outpouring of the Holy Spirit fulfilling Acts 1:4-8, is the key to growing the Church of Jesus Christ and fulfilling the Great Commission. 

Contracting with Charisma Media to Help Expand our Audience

We have been called to partner with Charisma Media to expand our audience for Discerning the Times and our equipping materials on high-level intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare. 

We have been led to do this for two reasons: 

First, with our recent losses of office staff – not to conflict but to things we rejoice in – as well as the massive challenge of launching the capital campaign to raise $1,300,000 dollars to complete construction of the Prayer House, we simply do not have the capacity to at the same time launch the prayer mobilization! 

Second, Charisma Media will provide a vastly expanded audience of people over the internet who are already open to the work of the Holy Spirit and are actively seeking ways to engage in the work of prayer that defeats strongholds and advances the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  

While our primary purpose is to equip intercessors for the battles ahead, this may have the positive effect of expanding the audience for PRMI’s core ministries of the Dunamis Project, Growing the Church, and Mission Outreach.  

This is a way for the Dunamis Project to no longer be the best-kept secret!  

We believe this may be a way the Lord wants to greatly extend PRMI’s present audience for our core mission of providing contexts for God the Father to fulfill Acts 1:4-8. 

For the Charisma audience of hundreds of thousands of people who are already part of the great evangelical/charismatic/ Pentecostal movements already growing in the work of the Holy Spirit, centered in Jesus Christ. Who are called to the work of intercession for the nation and for the Church, we believe that the Lord is offering the opportunity of sharing in this Kingdom advancing move of God that is beyond politics and is shaping history. 

We will need to pay for their services, which is $10,000 or $2,500 per month for four months. For this, they will help us put together the campaign assistance with shaping the emails, podcasts, and other expressions that will present our materials to their audience.

We are working with them to use the following books that are most relevant to upcoming prayer battles, as the vanguard of the campaign to mobilize and equip intercessors:

These books are:

• Teaching manuals based on the teaching of the Bible and lessons of the great intercessors like Rees Howells. 

• They teach intercessory tactics and spiritual warfare through actual firsthand prayer battles that we have been through. 

• These narratives are gripping accounts from the front lines of the advancing Kingdom of God that provide timeless lessons of cooperating with the Holy Spirit that are transferable to other unique challenges.  

• The Holy Spirit is already using these books for recruiting people into this work of intercession and spiritual warfare.  

• The books are intended to grow the army of intercessors for such a time as this when equipping empowered intercessors is urgent!

As the rest of the team is totally consumed with the capital campaign (which I am involved with too) most of this work will fall upon Martin Boardman and me – along with Cindy Strickler and our discernment team. However, we are committed to doing this work anyway!

Charisma will be advising us, helping us format internet communications to touch the needs of their audience. This will enable us to get these materials out to a greatly expanded audience with the potential for expanding our audience for Discerning the Times. 

We Need Help

We need your concerted prayer covering as well as the special financial provision of about $20,000 in order to fulfill two directives our Lord Jesus Christ has given us.   

We Need Prayer

We need strong prayer covering for doing this. We need strong protection against the Devil’s attacks. Already we are experiencing attacks. It is obvious that Satan does not want our teaching on intercessory prayer to get out. We will need great wisdom in doing this. This needs to be led by the Holy Spirit and not marketing gimmicks.   

Already there is a great intensification of spiritual warfare against us! 

We Need Provision

We also need prayer for provision! We need to pray in the rest of the $10,000 for the contract with Charisma. (A donor has already pledged $2,500 to get this process started in the month of February. Now our payments are $2,500 for the next three months.) The other $10,000 is for the urgent administrative and travel expenses for Martin and I doing this work. (This does not include our need for salary support.) 

We are stepping out in faith and obedience to the guidance of the Holy Spirit to launch this prayer mobilization for this particular time in history. 

It is a particularly difficult time to be asking for this prayer and financial support, while at the same time when we are all praying and being asked to give to complete the Prayer House. And we are also really in a crunch for funds for general operations, which often happens during a major capital campaign. 

We Need Your Participation

We really need your prayers and financial support as we step out in faith and obedience to the guidance of the Holy Spirit to launch this prayer mobilization at this critical time.  

I believe that while it looks the opposite, launching this prayer mobilization and equipping to a larger audience is no doubt a risky way that the Holy Spirit is calling us to “seek first the Kingdom of God!” And that if we do, the Lord will not only provide the needs for the prayer mobilization, but will provide all that is needed for the Prayer House. 

Thanks for joining us in this incredible adventure of following Jesus Christ!
