There is a change occurring. You can taste it in the water, smell it in the air, and feel it in the rumbling earthquakes beneath the surface of California. It is God‘s perfect plan coming to pass! This change came into focus while I was at the Rolls-Royce dealership. Sometimes God chooses a method to speak to you that clarifies His intentions in a way you can no longer deny. A few days ago when I was traveling down the street with my wonderful bride Sandy, the Lord spoke to me and said, “Drive into the Rolls-Royce dealership and look at a new car.”
This did not appear to be an unusual request from the Lord. Over the last six months I have had two dreams where I was either driving or riding in a brand-new car to do a task for the Lord. My mother, Pastor Marilynn Gazowsky, who founded our church in San Francisco, also owned a Rolls-Royce for over 20 years. I was very familiar with the car and it’s reputation. I realized God wanted me to learn something that I could not quite comprehend at the moment.
At the dealership Sandy and I were greeted as if we were lost friends coming home, though we had never been at this dealership before, it felt nice to be welcomed so warmly and offered a cool drink, as it was a very hot day.
I first must mention to you that never once was money suggested, inferred, or brought up by the salesman, who was indeed a gentleman. He was only concerned about what our needs as a family were, and how their car could meet those needs.
I must say this was a totally unexpected and pleasant surprise, and reminded me of my experience with my daughter when she was brought back to life in an Italian hospital. Afterward, she spent three months in intensive care, yet God completely took care of the multi-million dollar bill! With God money is never the issue. His will is all that matters. Now back to the Rolls-Royce dealer…
After hearing about how our family is traveling, the gentleman immediately said, “You need to look at the new SUV Rolls-Royce family car.” At first, I was shocked to hear that Rolls-Royce even made a family car. It was utterly immaculate, pure glistening white, with little tiny hints of high quality that were undeniable. Even the telltale angelic emblem on the front of the car could easily disappear upon command (I assume so you could park among other cars and not make them feel intimidated by your car’s presence.
But when I opened the door, my senses fully came to life. I knew from experience that Rolls-Royce raised special cattle to produce the leather that was used exclusively in their seats ~ but this had been taken to a totally new level! The care and flawless leather surfaces were stitched and woven to such perfection and design that they fit the seats like a garment of the most fashionable couture.
I could literally spend at least an hour talking about the refinement of this automobile. And to think this refinement was not for speed, not for luxury ~ but for family convenience! This was especially emphasized when the gentleman explained to me, “We also offer an additional two seats, beyond the four seats in the main cabin, that are designed for young children only ~ not small adults, just children.” The way he emphasized children stuck with me because, knowing Rolls-Royce’s interest in precise refinements, he was letting me know this is a family car only!
Suddenly God spoke to me and said, “Do you see My plan for the earth?” I had to stand back and think for a few days about this unseen observation that God was referring to. Then, while I was praying on Periscope, I saw it. God is calling the godly families of the earth to unprecedented luxury and peace and to have heaven on earth even as they drive their cars. Wow! This is the Lord’s Prayer being answered by a luxury car company! For He has called us who are godly “to be the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath.”
I know it is a shock to many of you to hear the Lord‘s will being talked about in such a manner. But when God blesses you, He blesses you beyond all religious, governmental, and physical hindrances. God makes all things possible! It is time for you to enter into your true dreams, given by God. Be careful, because God’s dream may shatter hindrances that you have been protecting your whole life. Pray about this.

There are dramatic shifts and changes occurring on earth, in our nation, and even in our own city and families. As Christians who love God, we are taught to be aware that all things work together for good if we are called according to His purpose. But all of this is just talk, unless it becomes a living reality in our lives. Your communication with the invisible realm literally is realized in the physical realm around you.

This brings me immediately to this Scripture from Matthew 25: “His lord said unto him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.’”

Every time I have an interaction with the spirit world, it seems to be insignificant in the physical realm, as if it’s almost not even there. It requires strong belief to make the substance of this interaction enough to even communicate. Every interaction with the heavenly realm that I perceive and meditate upon makes that world more important in my daily life, especially my prayer life. Let me share the reality of this in our actions through some examples.

In Romans, chapter 12, the Apostle Paul talks about a huge cloud of witnesses. In one of my experiences, I was praying alone in my car with all of the prayer warriors on Periscope. I saw a vision in the huge Nevada Valley before me. It appeared that I was driving across a huge stadium floor so large its seats went for miles into the sky.

In one part of the stadium I saw rows and rows of rulers of ancient Rome looking down from the seats along with rulers from other countries of ancient times. On the other side of the stadium I saw my family’s ancestors, 14 generations of Americans looking at the events that were occurring inside the stadium. Right in front of their section, on the floor of the stadium, were the leaders of our church in San Francisco fulfilling their purpose of waiting upon the Lord!

In the center of the stadium I saw the leaders of America. Then I saw the throne of the Father, and it consumed the stadium with His power. The Lord‘s face was covered in glory as He was watching the actions on the stadium floor. I realized that Heaven’s attention was upon us ~ every action, every deed, every day is very important to the cloud of witnesses:
“But ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”

This invisible witness of your earthly actions is ever more present as God begins to cause a mighty movement upon the earth. This reality greatly affects my daily prayer life. From the moment I wake (even before I open my eyes) I must take account of my mental actions and thoughts so I align them with the will of God for the day. I’ve realized in Heaven, many times our thoughts are louder than our words. God is increasing the weight of our daily reality.

This is important, because it’s a part of the invisible world becoming more of a part of your world.

Paul warned us in Hebrews, “Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, to day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness.” Jesus and Paul both emphasize the importance of “today”. Every day I stop and smell the scent in the air around me wherever I’m at. I see the textures, the feel, the people, and the environment around me as Heaven’s components for my “today.”

As I learn to interact with my environment of today through my five senses I’m more aware of the invisible world that is also interacting with my world. I can hear His quiet voice speaking directions to me. In whatever environment you find yourself in, whether high or low, prepare yourself for prayer. It is the interaction with the invisible world to which all things work together for your good!

I want to describe the still small voice of God in a personal way. It is the gentle nudge of a thought coming from out of the blue with apparently no source. As amazing as this is, it’s taken me a few months to come up with this description. That quiet whisper is the most precious communication you can ever have. This is why some of the greatest men in history found their lives changed by the smallest event, one that many of us would pass over as if it was of no consequence.
In Scriptures we are told Moses intimately communicated with God’s presence, as a man speaks with a friend. But in one of those communications we see an unexpected outcome.  God spoke to him in Numbers 20 very directly and said these words, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”
Wow! Think about it! A simple direct communication from God, which became a monumental turning point for Moses’ entire life. Moses obeyed, but something changed from the original communication to the completion of the prophetic act.  When Moses gathered the assembly he said, “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.”
Moses’ action deeply affected God, because God then said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” The assignment from God, to deliver a blessing to the people of Israel, was also a test for Moses and his ability to deliver God’s message without adding to it or changing it.
At the beginning of this year, I had a certain accounting process to be done by members of my family. The project was big and would take a few weeks to complete, so I was thinking about when I should do it. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, “Don’t do it until I give you the location.” He spoke to me in a very still quiet whisper and I told the family members about this instruction from God. Months and months went by and the location was not given. Months and months continued to go by and still no location was given. After eight months of waiting, no location from God was given. Absent-mindedly neglecting God’s directions, I decided in my own mind to go ahead with the accounting project.
After four days of working on the project I saw incredible conflicts happening that seemed almost ridiculous. I went into intercession, and I asked the Lord, “What’s going on, and why are these difficulties happening?” After two days of intercession the Lord spoke to me and said, “When you disobeyed My instruction it opened a door for the enemy to take advantage of you. It is like a soldier going to sleep and leaving the door open to where the enemy can sneak in and do him harm.”
Suddenly my eyes were opened. God had told me eight months ago to wait until the location was given. Of course, since His voice was very quiet, in my ignorance I acted like the word was not that important ~ when actually the opposite was true. My family agreed with me and we put the accounting project on hold  and decided to wait and not to work on it until the location was actually given.
I realized that when God gives you a message for someone there may be a second test in that message. God wants to know if you will communicate it clearly, without personal agenda, influence, or even an opinion.
We must understand, the greatest blessings that you and I are going to receive will be given to us through His intimate communication. We must be accurate and true to every detail that He gives us, no matter how quiet (or loud) it appears to be. Doing  exactly what God tells us to do is the foundational truth that must always be present.

“Now Moses used to take [his own] tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting [of God with His own people]. And everyone who sought the Lord went out to [that temporary] tent of meeting which was outside the camp.” Exodus 33:7 AMPC
Moses lived out an ancient example of why God calls His leaders to step outside the hustle & bustle and noise of the world around them. We need to go to a quiet place of meeting to hear the word of the Lord. This is God going into the library of the mind and re-establishing shelves upon shelves of memories. He links the thoughts and intents of man tp God’s heart so he can receive the wisdom of God.
In the last series of long intercessions, the Lord spoke to me about three communication skills He wants to be in every part of my communication to others. Simple though they may seem, you must stay outside the camp to even see them:
Yes’ and no’s: speak the truth in a pure non-confrontational way. If no appropriate communication comes to you, wait silently upon the Lord with Spirit intercession.
No shadow: No shadow of turning in your communication. The shadow refers to doubt, second chances, and option B’s. Any wavering is like being tossed by the waves of the sea. This man shall receive nothing.
Consistency: Be the same person you are in public as you are in private. Simple, but this is the most important foundational principle of your personality.
These communication skills actually become an invitation to the presence of God. And when He begins to visit you suddenly, everything becomes Heaven on earth! So simple, but so valuable.

Lord, we love You. Jesus, it is so good to pray to You. I’m so glad when we pray the signal is never broken. You hear our voice whenever we pray.
We call out for Your perfect resolution. I saw how the spirit of conflict has come upon our nation. Conflict rises up even in the mention of one or two words. That spirit of conflict is so strong, so I ask You God, remove that division-causing spirit because satan is a master division causer. He tries to cause division in every single person in this nation. Now people are even afraid to say things out loud; there is just confusion and accusation. And, satan is a confuser of the brothers.
Lord, as we bow to You, remove this spirit of division. We break the power! Agree with me in the Spirit:
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Lord, in Jesus’ name, we will overcome the division-causer by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
Lord, we confess the blood of Jesus upon America, by Your blood on Calvary, Lord. Look upon Jesus right now and say, “Jesus, Your blood is Lord over America. Baptize our entire nation in Your name.”
Lord, how holy You are. How righteous You are. May Your holiness now fill every street, and every highway in America in the light of Your glory.
God, we cover America now with the blood of Jesus. Overcome the power of the division-causer, satan. We cast him down. “I see satan fall like fire from Heaven”, in Jesus’ name. Each of us praying now agree in Spirit that the division-causing spirit that has caused every American to despise, argue, and be afraid to speak, is brought down. We break your power, in Jesus’ name!
Pray in other tongues right now, Hallelujah! Let the Holy Ghost search out the deep things of God and remove this devil spirit of division in America. Remove it from our country, in Jesus’ name!
That’s power!

I take the mantle that You’ve placed and I pour it out, fully anointing America. Purify them, Lord. Lord, we thank You for the holy anointing that is poured out upon our nation, in Jesus’ name!
Let the anointing flow through America, in every part, in every house. May spouses stand up and preach the word of God to the senators, and to the congresspeople whom they are married to, Lord. And may they preach to their spouses, the judges and lawyers, Lord. Speak truth, God!
May each state now repent! Jesus, come upon America, and every single bureaucrat that is working for the United States of America. May the division-causer’s power be broken, in Jesus’ name! Let any of his regulations and laws be lifted off the American people, and let freedom and liberty reign again, in Jesus’ name.

The title that I have chosen reveals the absolute resolve of what I desire to accomplish in my daily prayer experience. If you feel my drama is exaggerated, remember that apostle Paul said these words when he was going through his spiritual struggles in Ephesus: “I die daily”. And actually, I am learning this statement is a good way to live daily.

Early in the morning, before the sun rises, I wake up with a fuzzy mind and closed eyes. My first thought is usually about the position of my pillow. Later, when I’m more awake, the difficulties of the upcoming day come rushing into my mind. Years of experience have trained the algorithm of my thought process to filter out any responsibilities that don’t actually apply to me currently. This is when the things I dreamt that night begin to faintly enter into my thinking.

At this point (and it’s never at the same time), I realize that I have control of what I am thinking. I understand that if I don’t “gird up the loins of my mind”, my emotions will be controlled by things that are not in perfect harmony with God. Worst of all, the day will not be “Heaven on earth”. Wow! I just remembered the reason I pray is that I have unlocked the key to prayer itself: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” The true rationale for prayer is to bring Heaven to earth each day!

So then I come to the place of the great decision to “die” daily. This is my choice, and it’s made in my own mind before I even open my eyes. I decide to die to all of my responsibilities, worries, and anguishes ~ and lay them on the shoulders of Jesus. Think about it, a dead man doesn’t have bills, problems, or worries! Now I get to do exactly what I want today because I am free. For the Scripture says, “if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

Once I’m free I become like a little child, realizing that today will be filled with incredible adventures with my heavenly Daddy. I start rehearsing all of the wonderful things that Dad has promised me, and boy, are they wonderful! Usually at this point I open my eyes, look for my iPhone, and begin praising God along with one of my favorite songs. Next, I start thinking of clever ways to wake up my family with the joy of the Lord. Then we can all begin the wonderful adventure of the day!

“To be or not to be”, is the question of dying daily, (actually “living” daily) unto Christ. Once you try this personally, you’ll begin to discover that always living in the mind of Christ is the only way to fully enjoy life and have heaven on earth! See you later on Periscope.

It’s amazing how the network of prayer works. Just like your cell phone is connected right now to people around the world, so it is in prayer that we are connected around the universe. Our prayers are quiet and not demonstrative, or made to cause attention. They’re meant to communicate to the Lord. Our prayers travel though the universe and go to the deep parts of the galaxy to the throne of God.

The Bible says they are gathered there by angels and placed into vials. In Revelation 5, it mentions 24 angels, which perhaps represent the 24 time zones around the earth. These angels collect our prayers and bring them constantly to the throne of God, who listens to our intercession and our pleas. I have seen confirmation of this time and time again of how many times the Lord has answered prayer exactly when we prayed. We’ve prayed some pretty serious prayers on this broadcast. I thank you for praying with us. Today, we’re going to pray about getting the mind of Christ.

Lord, I want to become a mirror of You. I felt we should open up our prayer with that intercession. There is a song written by Justin Timberlake called “Mirrors”. Christ is a bright Mirror. We need to be the reflection of Jesus in our lives. We love You, Jesus. Lord, we love You so much.

Help us to feel the reflection of You, a reflection of Your love. Lord, I want to be like You; this is my desire. Lord, I desire to be like You. Lord, put Your mind in my head. Yes, Lord, let me see Your face in the mirror. I don’t want to lose you Jesus, I want to be a reflection of You. I love You Lord! I love You Jesus!

I want to be a reflection of Your love. You’re my Mirror Jesus, staring back of me. There is no one else standing beside me, Lord. It is just You. God, I want You more than anything.
We are fighting battles which are bigger than us, and giants that are mighty. But Lord, we know that greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world. Lord, we put our trust in You right now. Our trust is in You, Jesus. Only You Jesus. That’s all we trust is You. You’re stronger than we are!

God, You called us to the city of San Francisco, to build a church there and a congregation that is strong. You called us to see that city become the city of our Lord in Christ, to become the City of gold that was prophesied.

Lord, we are believing You for that vision to happen. We are believing at the same that You will transform Hollywood, and You will transform it into Holywood.
These things seem so great! They seem so far beyond our ability to comprehend, God. But Lord, it is bigger than us, but it is not bigger than You, God. I know if You are in us, we can do it. We can complete it.

We will do exactly what you set before us. Lord, Your ways are much bigger, Your ways are much holier. Your ways are pure in Jesus’ name. God, perform Your greatness. Show forth Your greatness. We love You, God.

The Apostle Paul said these weighty words, “To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.” This simple phrase can get lost in the confusion of which day you mean ~ Monday, Friday, or maybe a Sunday? Which day are you really talking about if it’s so important? Any confusion disappears if you think like a child and say, “Today, right now, this moment, I need to listen to that still small voice of God and be pliable to His will, now!” Yes, realize the importance of today.
When a successful upwardly mobile Christian leaves the house, they’re thinking about things like appointments, schedules, meetings, and responsibilities ~ which are all worries. Their focus is on accomplishments and just getting through the day. It’s a different experience when a child-like Christian steps out of their house. They smell the air, see the wonder in the sky, praise God for their beautiful house, and listen for the Lord’s Wind of the Spirit for the next adventure. Even if the thing God is asking them to do is insignificant in comparison to the other pressing needs of the day, it immediately rises to the first priority of their day.
The most monumental events in my life have occurred when I listened to the seemingly casual nudge by the Holy Spirit, like asking me to stop and talk with someone at a restaurant. One time it was agreeing to do an event with someone who then casually asked me to do something, that resulted in a blessing to my whole family. Listen daily to the quiet whisper of the Holy Spirit. It leads to His treasures which He’s inviting you to partake of.
You’ll never come to this understanding until you realize the wonderful importance of today. In the early morning hours, as I lay in bed thinking my prayers to the Lord, I also am preparing for the wonder of the day.
Today the Lord spoke to me about two prophets of God and to pray for their physical bodies. As I prayed about their health I knew my children had also had dreams about this same subject. I realized God had been speaking to our family multiple times about the prophets’ health. Their health was was an increasing priority to Heaven’s agenda.
I have found, as I daily seek His will for His kingdom, my experience each day becomes a technicolor experience and adventure! The other night I was talking with a prayer warrior that prays with us on Periscope. She shared a beautiful experience about how the Holy Spirit invited her to walk down the street in a very rough neighborhood in her town. When she passed by a house and observed signs of young women being used as slaves, she prayed and talked to the Lord about it. A few weeks later, it was closed down and every young girl was set free! Now other women are joining her as she prays and they are seeing significant changes in their city. Oh what wonder the Lord does when we listen to that still small voice today!
“Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, ‘Today if ye will hear His voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:’ When your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My ways.’ So I sware in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called today.”
