By THE SPIRIT Matthew wrote in chapter 11:

2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

People are in constant search of signs and trends hoping to have the future revealed.  John the Baptist wanted to know if Jesus was indeed the Messiah even though he was there when Jesus was confirmed by FATHER at the baptism.  I am sure John wanted to be delivered from prison by the conquering Messiah.  The proof of Jesus being the Coming One was by His works.

The world continues down its path of destruction as the various world cultures clash with one another.  Their power is accomplished by using fear and intimidation rather than Love and restoration.  The prevailing thought is that resources are scarce and those without must go and fight against those who have the resources.  Jesus proved otherwise.

The singular answer to the world’s problems is Love in action.  Jesus was motivated by FATHER’S core characteristic of Love when He healed the sick, raised the dead, and cast out demons.  He taught The Word and proclaimed the Good Tidings to all who would listen.  His ministry was one of restoration.

Did this ministry end with Jesus?  No, He commissioned us to also go forth and do greater things than Him throughout the world.  The doctrines of man have attempted to dilute this message and base reality on man’s reasoning instead of the Word.  We must purge man’s reasoning and traditions from our hearts and focus on the purity of HIS Word of Love and the power contained therein.  Our priorities must change and align with FATHER.  As they do, we should expert our faith to increase to the level of great faith and then expect similar signs to follow us as we bring for the Good Tidings as well.

If not us then who?  Why look for someone else when FATHER simply needs willing vessels?  If you are being drawn to the purity of walking IN HIM then HE can use you as easy as HE could use Saul who was Paul.  HE used simple fishermen.  Jesus commissioned seventy who have gone unnamed to this day.  They ministered with signs following so let us put away fear, uncertainty, and doubt as we press in to do FATHER’s Directives.

Instead of look for signs elsewhere, let the signs follow us as we are led by THE SPIRIT.  What greater testimony to convince mankind of the veracity of Jesus being The Way, The Truth, and the Life than ministering with confirming signs for all to see.

In chapter 17 of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the angel spoke by THE SPIRIT:

15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.”

The “waters” or sea represent peoples, multitudes, and nations in Scripture and in this case the nations have been subjected to the harlot known as mystery Babylon.  Today, this harlot is tied to the world’s financial/economic system which intoxicates men with greed.  This system produces no peace but instead promotes instability and fear among the masses.  Dishonesty abounds at all levels and the whole system is built on perception.  Myself and others have warned of the impending collapse of this system for a number of years.  It will not be the end of the world but it will probably become known as the Jubilee or “The Great Reset” when widespread bankruptcy wipes away the debt structure throughout the global system.

A mystery is not known to the masses or it would not be called such.  Because of this being a global mystery the time frame extends beyond what most can fathom before it is revealed.  I see this apparent delay as giving us time to fully prepare for however the fall occurs.  The question is this:  How do you and I prepare for whatever happens?  In the first years of this ministry, FATHER led us to focus on revealing the problem inherent in the current system.  Suddenly, we shifted to focusing on the solution… Love in action.

Technology is not the solution but looks to be the means by which the following will occur in Revelation chapter 18:

1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

… ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

Because of the move to “digital” money and immediate news via the Internet, this can literally occur before our eyes.  Only those who lay up Heavenly riches will be in a position to minister to mankind as their livelihoods come crashing down since they were based on lies and deceit.  There will be those whom I call “The Remnant” which have been in preparation for such a time as this.  Our focus is not on information but on revelation from Above.  We are simplifying our lives and pressing in to hear FATHER’S directives each and every day.  We view the trappings of this world as only temporary and are not interested in hoarding “stuff” but look to allowing the blessings to flow through us to others.

Jesus found it necessary to separate Himself to be alone and pray.  The Remnant understands this time of preparation as well.  The flesh desires to sleep but those quickened by THE SPIRIT look forward to “one on one” time with FATHER.  IN HIM we have our being.  By THE SPIRIT Mark wrote in chapter 4:

37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

There is a great financial storm which has formed on the horizon.  Many can see it coming and continue to warn of its destruction.  We need to be at peace where even during this storm we are able to remain at rest.  Our preparation which is intended for us to walk in THE SPIRIT and be in command of the situations on earth will allows us to bring forth peace in the midst of the coming storm.  People will marvel at the Wisdom of FATHER flowing through us providing them solutions to the problems arising out of this storm.  Those who committed fornication with mystery Babylon will be fully exposed and the multitudes will need a guiding light to safety.  The Remnant have been prepared for such a time as this that when the words “Peace, Be Still”” are spoken, the contrary winds of man’s doctrines will cease and the Gospel will spread across the earth and calm the sea until it is as glass.

Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

32 And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.

33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.

36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.”

37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

What differentiates the walk of Jesus Christ with the religions of the world is the power and authority of The Word.  FATHER’S Word raised Jesus from the dead whereas the originators of the world’s religions remain in the grave.  This Truth separates “The Way” from religion.   There are those of us who are willing to embrace the fact that this “power and authority” are also given to us in order that we may minister Love to all the world.  The most intense aspect of this power and authority is only obtained by pressing in and setting all other priorities aside.  In Luke 9 Jesus specifically gave the directive:

1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.”

Was this power and authority given only to those twelve disciples?  No!  We too are His disciples and must be willing to accept this same power and authority.  Were they perfect and fully mature at the time He gave them this directive?  No, they proved elsewhere they had flaws similar to the rest of us.  In Luke 10, Jesus sent out seventy more:

1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

And the result:

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

Each of us must decide if we are to be among those willing to go forth IN HIS NAME to preach the Gospel,  heal the sick, and cast out demons.  It is by HIS Power and Authority that enables us to do HIS directive.  Let us sow the seed of The Word in our hearts, especially those acts of healing and deliverance, so that this Seed will produce 30, 60, and even 100 fold in our walk as well.  If we don’t plant the seed of The Word in this area how do we expect to produce this good fruit?  Join me and reread the New Testament with focus on ministering with this same power and authority that we may glorify FATHER.  HIS power and authority will produce miracles and signs following and this will differentiate the Truth from the philosophies of the world.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 4:

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Once you have purposed to walk in the footsteps of Jesus as a follower of Christ, expect to be challenged by the adversary for it comes with the territory.  Resistance to fulfilling your calling is part of the testing of an overcomer.  The test will usually be focused on your personal area of weakness.  The devil waited until Jesus was extremely hungry to test Him with food.  FATHER had just proclaimed Jesus as HIS Beloved Son and the devil tried to tempt Him with accepting the kingdoms of the world.  Jesus was also tested in His authority to summon angels by placing Himself in a perilous situation.  Jesus’ final response- Go away!

It is important that we align ourselves with FATHER’S Word as we proceed in our directive to be fishers of men.  We should expect signs to follow us rather than be led by signs for we are to be led by The Holy Spirit.  We must expect to hear FATHER just as Jesus heard HIM.  In John chapter 14, Jesus spoke:

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

We know this verse but we must fully embrace this verse to the point where we see Jesus in us as we walk out our directive.  We must set aside our past and bury it on the tree where Jesus died.  The adversary would want each of us to live in our past and accept the guilt but the Blood of Christ removed it once and for all.  It is finished!  We must see ourselves with Christ in us the hope of glory.  Jesus further spoke:

11 “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”

If FATHER is in Jesus and we too are in Jesus then FATHER is in us as well.  We must accept that reality in order to overcome the world.  We must no longer live with a partial or incomplete revelation of being the Temple of The Holy Spirit.  Let us no longer listen to the noise coming from the adversary or his former kingdoms of the world for he was defeated at the cross and we must accept that victory fully and completely.

In Matthew chapter 10:

1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

…

7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

We too are disciples and should expect to do the same.  Consider that we have the benefit of their witness to encourage our success.  Let us no longer accept less due to the compromise of traditions of men.  Jesus did not place a time limit on His command to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons.  This mandate is even more applicable today for there are more who are in need of salvation than ever before.  Someone is going to respond and go forth.  It might as well be you and me.  As we accept this mandate in its full and literal meaning, expect to be challenged by the enemy.  Simply tell him to “Go away!”.  Stay calm and carry on.

My desire and mission is to glorify FATHER to mankind. 

FATHER Loves HIS creation and I Love HIS creation.

FATHER believes in miracles so I believe in miracles.

Without miracles, Christianity is simply another philosophy thus Jesus confirmed The Word with miracles and signs following.

I am blessed thus I have become a “blesser”.  The greatest parable Jesus spoke concerned seedtime and harvest.  We reap what we sow and therefore if we sow blessing, we reap blessing.  If we sow life, we reap life.  Is FATHER glorified by sickness, disease, or demonic possession?  No, HE is glorified by healing and deliverance of mankind.  It is time for many to get back to the basics.  In Mark chapter 1 Jesus spoke:

17 Then Jesus said to them (and to us), “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

This is a very simple directive and we must not dilute it with complexities and traditions.  The Gospel is meant for all to understand and embrace.  Some people want to see the prophetic and I say that one of the most steadfast prophecies is that if you sow a seed, it will produce its like kind.  In Genesis chapter 8, FATHER established this promise:

20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

​22 ​​“While the earth remains,

​​Seedtime and harvest,

​​Cold and heat,

​​Winter and summer,

​​And day and night

​​Shall not cease.”

To be a follower of Jesus Christ I must focus on Him and His works.  I must take on His Character of Love toward all mankind.  His attributes must become mine and that is done by planting the seed found especially in the Gospels of what He said and did among the people.  As we plant this good seed in our hearts FATHER will provide the increase “after its own kind” and people will begin to see Jesus in us.  We become trustworthy for FATHER to further empower us to minister Love and life to all mankind.  Let us embrace the call Jesus spoke to His disciples “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”  I accept that as my mission, come and join me on this straight and narrow path so it will become our mission.

By THE SPIRIT Luke wrote in chapter 11:

14 And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

Jesus overcame the devil in the wilderness and He continued to display the power and authority FATHER had bestowed on Him.  He now cast out a demon and delivered the mute but some of the people attempted to reason away why the miracle did not happen.  Out of the abundance of their heart, they spoke.  People will rationalize away whatever does not fit their doctrine and this is a primary cause of people remaining incapacitated and unable to achieve deliverance from their bondage.  We must receive with gladness whatever FATHER provides and accomplishes before our eyes.

16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.

What more of a sign does one need than to see a known mute immediately delivered of a demon?  Instead of praising Our Heavenly Father for delivering the mute, they challenged the power and authority of Jesus.  Even seeing was not believing for this group.  We should expect FATHER to bless us in our walk and encounters rather than question every circumstance we find ourselves in.  There are those who spend their life looking for signs rather than simply hearing FATHER.  Which is better, sign language or hearing HIS Word?

17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.

18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.

22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

Jesus provided proof that the Kingdom of FATHER had come by His ability to cast out demons and heal the sick.  Those who go in His Name and do the same also bring forth the Kingdom.  Those who speak against the straight and narrow path of Jesus Who is The Door are the ones who scatter the sheep.  Those are the people who would keep us divided, exploited, and are in opposition to Christ.

Jesus likens the demon to a strong man who resists any challenge to his dwelling place.  The demon was able to take up residence due to weakness of the person caused by some event in the past.  Demons still exist today and are most subtle in their methods to take up residence in a host.  We must be sensitive to The Holy Spirit so that we will know the proper method of dealing with these spirits.  Jesus was not moved by His various encounters with demons and they knew of His power and authority over them.  We too have that same power to take their “armor” and divide them from their host.  FATHER has the necessary righteous tools for winning the war against the demonic forces.  Let us be fully equipped and walk in the power of The Holy Spirit so that no matter what we encounter, we will overcome the darkness with light.

Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 23:

18 And they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”—

19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.

20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”

22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”

23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.

24 So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.

Anytime a nation rejects Christ Whom once they received, they bring on worse judgment than before Christ arrived.  Jesus knew His fate and the fate of Israel as they rejected not only Him but FATHER as well as they sowed seeds of death.  Pilate gave them three opportunities  in order to let everything be established by two or three witnesses… they chose death over Love thus they sealed the fate of their nation and their temple.

The chief priests were among those who chose death even though they were well acquainted with Scriptures and the mercies of FATHER.  They spoke what was in their heart.  How could they be so blinded?  Their blindness was due to the idols in their hearts and their desire to maintain the status quo of their positions in the community.  Their greed motivated them to deal harshly with anyone who challenged their traditions and control over the masses.

Just because the population is moving away from FATHER into further sin and rebellion does not mean that FATHER will not answer the fervent prayers of the righteous.  FATHER will continue to confound the wise with what the world calls foolish and will overcome the world by HIS Love expressed through HIS called out ones.

Just as Jesus was persecuted, those who FATHER is raising up will be persecuted as well.  In these times, this persecution will be known as “fake news” and only those who hear FATHER’S Voice will be able to discern the Truth from the noise.  People are being intoxicated with information rather than hearing HIS Voice.  I personally desire one word of revelation from Above over all the opinions broadcast by man.

FATHER will protect HIS Remnant in the coming chaos.  All signs indicate a great reset will occur and those who have trusted in man’s wisdom will “lose it” and they lose all.  How much longer will it be before the current system deteriorates for all to see?  I don’t know but the signs are there.  What is the most important thing I can be doing?  Embracing FATHER and HIS Love as I seek to hear HIM more clearly than ever before.  As men continue to run from the Light, let us run TO THE LIGHT.  I expect FATHER’S power and authority to come forth like never before.  HIS Judgment will come in order to restore righteousness and purge the earth of all wickedness and perverseness.  The light will be blinding to some and it will be a guide to others.  Let us fully embrace HIS Love and take on HIS Character without reservation.  Let us not accept the ever changing values of the world but base our life on HIS Path set before us.

Jesus did what no other one could do when He fulfilled the Divinely inspired prophecy of Isaiah chapter 53 verse 5:

But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

Many of us have accepted salvation by His sacrifice which ultimately brought peace into our lives yet very few have embraced the Truth “by His stripes we are healed”.  My dear friend Dr. Vince Speckhart who practiced medicine for over 40 years would say “Our bodies are designed to live forever and they are designed to heal”.  If OUR CREATOR cannot heal the bodies HE created then who can?

Barriers of various types prevent us from being healed.  Jesus Himself desired all to be healed as He ministered in the Gospels.  He was and is willing to heal all our infirmities yet the healthcare industry continues to grow at an accelerating pace.  Don’t misunderstand me, I have nothing against doctors and they fulfill a need in today’s society.  I would not allow a loved one to suffer if they have not been healed by the prayer of faith.  I would encourage them to get relief from their symptoms, treat the problem, and THEN focus on getting revelation why their healing isn’t taking place by prayer.  We must not take on guilt or failure if we become sick.  Instead, we must seek FATHER to find out what the hindrance is to our restoration.

In 1984 I contracted hepatitis from shellfish.  At the time I had been intently studying HIS Word, listening to teaching tapes, and reading many books by Christian authors.  I had not been sick for years yet I contracted an illness so severe the doctor thought I was going to die.  I was not a happy camper and I complained to FATHER about my situation.  HE said “You are void of MY Word!”  I argued the point by recalling my studying, reading, and listening.  HE was not impressed and simply asked me the question “When did you last study MY Word in the area of healing?”.   Oops, it had been some time since I had not been sick in years…  I repented.

HE gave me a revelation in dealing with an issue in my life- immerse myself in HIS Word concerning a certain area where I am lacking.  THE Word will purge and cleanse us of anything preventing us from producing good fruit in that area.  When HIS Word becomes greater than all other influences in our life then IT produces good fruit.  The concept is simple yet it requires full commitment.  As we read, study, and embrace The Word in a particular area, it builds up our faith in that area.  We can have great faith in one area but be weak in another.

To be healed requires faith and faith comes by hearing The Word concerning healing.  Jesus made this point in Matthew chapter 9:

20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”

22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

And

27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”

28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”

30 And their eyes were opened…

Jesus paid the ultimate price so that we could receive salvation, peace, AND healing.  Let us embrace all three and nothing less.  Let us build up our faith by immersing ourselves in HIS Word and meditate on It day and night until It overflows in our lives, not only for our own healing but all those for whom we pray.

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 4:

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

The church of today has a function- to mature and equip the saints for the work of ministry.  Many churches have stopped short of this commission and have changed the intent to that of a permanent dwelling place with walls of separation.  This ought not to happen.  Tradition has overcome revelation in many cases and for every opinion there has arisen a denomination.

What would happen if the whole body of Believers joined together in Love and came into the unity of faith?  We would overcome the world!  Each of the five-fold ministry should be receiving daily instructions from FATHER, not some outdated manual on how to retain a congregation.  The various gifts of those who attend should be identified and utilized for the overall purpose of maturing the saints.  Every activity should revolve around the goal of attaining the fullness of Christ.

We are to forsake not the fellowshipping of the saints thus we are not to become isolationists.  Some churches have promoted this view in two ways- one in keeping the congregation separated by doctrine and the other by shunning those who leave their congregation.  This is not how we overcome the world, on the contrary, this is how the world overcomes us.

Speaking the truth in Love does not mean we placate those who are in leadership roles in the various church organizations.  Jesus challenged the leadership of His day with the Word from FATHER.  We must do the same, not with our own opinion, but instead by the Divinely inspired Word from FATHER.  It is time for this division to cease.  The fear of loss by the various pastors must be overcome by faith in FATHER’S ability to provide.

There is no need for editorials on the subject but only Divine appointments and Words back by the power and authority originating in Heaven.  This will require much prayer and fasting to overcome the walls which have been erected over time.  Jesus prayed and fasted during His time of ministry so we should not look for excuses in these two critical areas of bringing Heaven to earth.

When I have travelled abroad I have seen many old majestic church buildings.  The one thing most of them had in common was the lack of attendance.  At one time they were the centerpiece of the city or town yet now they are more of a tourist destination.  How sad.

Overcoming the world starts with you and me.  Let us be in unity by fully submitting to the fullness of Love and let us be directed by FATHER in every step we take.  Let us be in agreement as we pray to FATHER that HE bring us together in both power and authority in order that Heaven overtake this dying world.  Let us press in like never before as the walls we must scale have grown tall yet there has never been a wall that FATHER could not tear down with a sound of a trumpet.  The fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  Now it the time!
