2024 – A Year of Great Advancement and Taking Territory

Hello Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family.

Mother Clare sent us all a link to watch Pastor James Kawalya, a former witch turned evangelist and minister. The title of the message was called, “Covenant Prayers”. He shared a testimony of how a group of twenty women and a pastor were able to take down a principality in Uganda and stop the kingdom of darkness from doing any demonic activity over a certain highway for seventy years. All the witches gathered from all over the world in a conference, completely frightened and intimated by this small group. He was unable to stop them, but rather, they were used to bring about his conversion because of their covenant prayers.

They had made a pact with God, and with one another, to pray for ninety days, at the same time [each day], together. First in repentance, thanksgiving, and spiritual warfare. If one of them missed a day they would start all over again until they completed ninety days of praying together, consecutively. Through that, they were victorious in their prayer.

It really began to stir a fire in my heart when I started listening to the message. I was in India with Jahnavi, headed to the airport. Both of our hearts began to be set ablaze, on fire for prayer. We could tangibly feel it and began praying In the Spirit as she began prophesying.

I immediately knew this was what the Lord was calling us all to. This was what the Lord was calling the intercessory group to…a deeper place of commitment and prayer. I pondered even if I was ready for that.

I could feel Jesus wanted to speak to me. I grabbed my computer and began typing.

Lord, there are so many thoughts coming to me after watching Pastor James’ video about covenant prayer. I see how I have grown so lukewarm in prayer, how I have lost the fire…, and that only comes from You. You said, if we ask for anything in your name it is given. Lord, I ask for the fire of prayer again, a fire like never before.

Jesus began,

“That will be given to you, Beloved, and so much more. Everything, I mean everything begins and starts with prayer. My people have lost their fire, have lost their desire, and have lost their way concerning prayer. Too many times meetings are filled, rather, with entertainment, discussion, and excessive talk rather than just praying. All of these things are good at the right time, because I do desire My children to fellowship with one another, but prayer is warfare.

“Prayer is an opportunity to not only connect with Me but labor with Me as the Holy Spirit does His work on this earth, as you pray in unison with Me, the Father’s will. So many things happen in prayer, My beloved ones. So many that you cannot see. And it not only affects your world now but for generations to come. I am a generational God. I bless by generations, so the prayers you pray are not just being sown for you, for this generation, but for those who will come after you. Many of you are living the prayers of those who came hundreds of years before you. You are living out the answered prayer of your great, great, great, great, great grandmothers or fathers, or relatives. That is the power of prayer. I alone know the right time when to answer the prayers, but each word, each request is stored up in Heaven until the appointed time, then poured out upon the earth and manifested to bring Me glory.

“This is the year of prayer, fire prayers that have never been seen or spoken before. I am calling My people into the deepest places of prayer. You will see what you are praying for you, you will see what happens when you pray. For those who will consecrate themselves, this is the year of great consecration, great prayer, and great manifestation. My people have become lax, lukewarm, and cold because they are weary of what they are seeing and have seen.

“The world is growing darker, but the hearts of My people should burn brighter. Yet they are growing cold because of the lack of prayer, lack of understanding when they pray, and lack of desire. I understand, and that is why a great grace and anointing is coming to My church and has already begun. 2024 will be a year of great advancement, and much territory being taken back from the enemy.

“I will put My brides back to that place of not only intimacy but with their faces on the floor, a grace of supplication and of a fire ─ a Holy fire that will be like a whirlwind to consume them, possess them with a hunger they have never experienced before. They will see answered prayer, upon answered prayer, upon answered prayer, which will stir in them and push them deeper into prayer because they see what happens when they pray.

“What I am asking from My brides is greater consecration. Many of you have become lax, and just lazy. You make excuses in abstaining, and sacrifices and make excuses even in joining the prayer meetings.”

Jesus begins speaking to Intercessors.

“Did I not call you; did I not choose you for this? Yet you have disregarded My plea and My invitation to even join in — giving Me one day a week. Rather, you see if the time works around your schedule than working your schedule around Me. Yes, for some I am asking you to sacrifice your sleep to go in the depths with Me, to move mountains, to take back nations, to save souls, and to convert your enemies and see strongholds and principalities taken down. To see revival burst forth; a move of My Spirit mankind has never seen, to prepare the way for My return, to have My brides and My church work in the power of My Spirit with signs and wonders. Yet you will not come to pray.

“It starts with you, My little one, you have been a poor example. But My mercy covers you. This is one of the areas you have grown cold and so easily distracted by your circumstances and your emotions, this will be no more.

“I am giving you a sustaining fire, a passion of prayer you have never had before, in that secret place with Me. Where you will war on your knees and see Me overturn tables in the hearts of My church: see Me overturn situations and bring justice where there has been injustice while preparing you for the long healing and evangelist journey that you have ahead of you. You cannot accomplish My will without more extensive time in prayer.”

And as an aside, Jesus is so right, I am the worst example. I don’t even make it to many of the meetings sometimes. I leave the intercessors hanging, and lately, I have been getting the Rhema reading about St. Cuthbert who spent hours in prayer, nights in prayer for his long healing and evangelistic ministry. I got that about three times during our mission trips. And, if I can be honest, I struggle with no desire in me, honestly, to pray. I’ve just been weary, just been weary, even in ministry.

Jesus continued,

“I will open your eyes to see and that of those in the intercessory group and all Heartdwellers, who will consecrate themselves to Me in prayer. Do not resent what I ask of you. For all that I ask I will give you so much more in return; new anointings, gifts that will bloom, and signs and wonders that will follow you, so many will believe.”

Mark 16:17-18

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

“You have taken back territory this year, and 2024 will be new ventures of expansion, authority, and possession like never before. It is most necessary for what I want to do in the Church. I need your cooperation, My brides. For those who are serious continue to climb with Me, walk with Me, and join Me in this. I am pruning and purifying the group because of the depths you will go. The enemy will try every way to cause division and dismantling. That is why I need those who are serious about what I am asking.

“Each intercessor must make a decision moving forward, with where they stand, and how committed they are to this mission and call. We can no longer have loose ends and those who are less committed. I will not love you any less or stop My graces from coming to you, My beloved chosen ones, if you can no longer make a commitment to the prayer meetings. But I have been training you to move like an army and if you are not in position or not suited properly, meaning in dedication and commitment, you break rank and that causes a breach in what I want to do with all of you, in all of you, and in My church, with Heartdwellers. It continues to hinder prayer and cause much warfare rather. There have been a few committed ones and for that, I say thank you. You have been carrying your little mother and this ministry.

“You’re reasoning, Beloved”.

Sorry, Lord. I guess what I feel like you’re asking before I write, makes me wonder if it’s you, my flesh, or a religious spirit. It seems strict.

And, as an aside, I felt the lord was asking to increase our prayer time to an hour each morning, rather than 20 minutes, in addition to all the other prayer meetings we have.

Jesus continued,

“My beloved, you are no longer children drinking on milk, but I have raised you up in maturity as you have matured on the meat of My daily words to you through My heart. It’s time for you all to stand in the place of authority you have been given; to apply yourselves, to prepare the way for what I am going to do, and that is through prayer. “I had you leave your training ground on the mountain and have taken you to a territory My mother told you was a witch coven. There is no more time for pleasantries, fun, and taking things lightly or you will be utterly dismantled and disheveled, Beloved, in trying to fulfill this mission and work.

“If you knew, My beloved ones, how much time My apostles and those who have come before you gave themselves to prayer in order to see what you see now. Read about the great Saints and heroes of faith. They gave themselves entirely to Me in this way.

“My little ones, it’s not so much about the length you pray, but about your intent and commitment when you pray. There is power in agreement, power in intent, and power in commitment. I am asking the group to gather every day and increase your time in prayer together”.

Oh, I am fighting this, Lord.

“Pray for an hour. Those who can commit, make a covenant with Me to meet for a week just to pray for an hour together and see what I will do. Those who are unable, I ask again for you to give me one day out of the week to join the prayer meeting. That is the reason you were called. This is My request, My beloved ones. And if you are in a season where you cannot sacrifice your time, your sleep, or your schedule for this, I will be with you. I love you and My grace will continue in you but I release you from this responsibility, from the intercessory group.

“My brides, I know you’re busy; you’re able to make time for everything else. I ask this of you and it’s too much. My beloved dear ones, you were chosen for this. This is training now, and I am tightening up the ranks, and putting everyone in line. For the glory ahead is great and so is the battle to obtain it. For those who commit there is no need to fear. This will be the greatest year of answered prayer and spiritual possession of territory for My brides and My church.”

That was the end of Jesus’ message.

Wow, family if I can be honest, I struggled with this message, thinking this was too harsh, and had others discern. It is the Lord. Mother Elisabeth also got the same word that 2024 would be a year of covenant prayer. I just hate to release anyone who has volunteered themselves to the service of the intercessory group. We have all been together for years now, but there are some who rarely come to pray with us. If I can be honest, I am the worst one, just like Jesus said. He is calling me to task here as well and admonishing me because it starts from the top. I am grateful for the faithful few who have carried us and have been so faithful to pray together. So thank you, family, for your support. Please pray for the intercessory group. I pray that your heart will also be inspired to pray.

I encourage you all to find other Heartdwellers, even if it’s online, to gather together and make your own prayer groups from the messages you receive on the channels of Mother Clare, myself (Mother Elisha), and Mother Elisabeth. Anything mentioned that is from Jesus, you guys can come together and begin praying. I believe this message wasn’t just for our intercessory group, but many Heartdwellers who are listening. The Lord is calling you also to form prayer covenant groups to intercede for the nation, the church, and Heartdwellers ministries. God bless you, family, until the next message.
