Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Psalm 24:7 ESV

“We recognize no Sovereign but God; no King by Jesus.” John Quincy Adams, “The Cry of the Revolution.”

So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you ageless doors of destiny! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this Glory-King?” The Lord, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, invincible in every way! So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you ageless doors of destiny! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is the Lord of Victory, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, he is the King of Glory! Psalm 24:7-10 TPT

It’s time to welcome Jesus, the King of Glory, back to the United States of America. He is the One and only One that we desperately need. He alone is our King. Let the King rule. May we be elders together serving the King.

We followers of our King are the gates that must lift up our heads, the ancient doors that much be lifted up so that Jesus, the King of glory may come in. We, the Church, the Ecclesia, must wake up, rejoice expectantly and fling wide the ageless doors of destiny to welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through us. Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in.

Our nation has survived three fiery crucibles: the Revolution, the Civil War, the World Wars and Depression. We are now in the midst of a fourth fiery crucible which will not destroy us, but will further purify us and provide a stronger foundation for ongoing service to our King, Jesus.

As gates and doors in the land, representing our covenant nation, the United States of America, let us lift our heads and fix our eyes on the fiery eyes of the King of Glory and provide him a royal welcome home.

Answered Prayers for January 2021 Answers in italics.

Friday, January 1 – Joel Endress and Daniel meet. Our regular meetings keep us well connected and help Free Indeed Ministries keep going strong.

Marc McConnell and I had our Free Indeed time together on January 11. In both cases, iron sharpens iron.

Tuesday, January 5 and 26 – Denny Schlotfeldt and Daniel. It was good to re-engage with this friend twice. We provide accountability and inspiration to each other.

Friday, January 8 – Free Indeed Ministries Int’l annual meeting. It is apparent that Free Indeed is now more focused on how to stand for Spokane, how to connect with and help impact Washington, DC from Washington State, more equipped for spiritual worship and war and especially for receiving heaven on earth as we welcome Jesus, the King of glory.

Tuesday-Thursday, January 12-14 – Cascadia Gathering at Vantage WA. This was a very good gathering, We are gaining momentum. Everyone was valued. “We come together in relationship and make space for God to show up.” Meeting together as peers, learning together and being together is Cascadia’s assignment. Ephesians 4 equipping took place. “By being in loving relationships, a new authority has come on me to proclaim life.”

Saturday, January 9 or 16 – Washington Kingdom Alliance prays for our state, nation and world. This is not a large group, but a strong one. It includes three leaders from years ago and three new leaders, most of whom are on the Westside of Washington State. Other regulars are in Vantage, Peshastin, Richland, Colville and several in Spokane. I sense that the Lord hears and answers the prayers lifted up every month.

Not requested, but answered: Friday, January 28 – Kaleb Fisher, Steven Damerville and Daniel Grether met together again as the Lord assigned. The Lord scheduled exactly the right day and strengthened all three of us for what we are each doing and what more he can do through the three of us when we come together. Such “unity kernels” which include the Lord and the three of us are essential ingredients needed to have heaven come to Spokane and the rest of the world.
