We also desire to share Words given by the Spirit of God, not only through this ministry but also through various voices and seasoned ministers in the body of Christ. As you read and hear from them, we pray that you will be encouraged and enlightened and brought to a place of PRAYER in Him to ever press and seek the Lord in your own lives.
God Bless you!
-Helen Utegaard

I heard the Spirit say this:
…Oh, so many things now.
So many things now want to be revealed!...
Things that have been concealed. 
But some will stay 
in just the rant of yesterday.
And, oh, you see, they just will work with what they know
instead of the invitation 
into the place where they shall grow!
Grow, grow, grow in the things of the Spirit! 

Oh, there’s so much more!
So much more!
So much more will meet them right there 
at the threshing floor!
Together we begin to tread out 
the grape for the wine 
that is so desperately needed
for the Church for this time…. 

Don’t forget this, says the Spirit of the Lord.
Don’t you know that I have doors that you cannot see 
that will open unto thee?
And will cause you to step through 
to step through in one place 
and to be there in another place?
Oh, get ready! says the Spirit of the Lord.
Oh, for great workings are upon us!
And the Church must apprehend
and take My hand
and come to the forefront!
And by the power and the grace of who I am,
they shall stand in the face of that which needs to be done.
For through My Son, 
the victory has already been won.

Oh, but know that there is so much more!
So much more!
So much more…

The enemy’s afraid for you to step through that door — 
because he knows there’s so much more.
The enemy’s been working at the ears of man.
But the wind of My Spirit has been coming like a fan!
Oh, to blow, to blow, to blow, to blow, 
to blow away the words that the enemy would try to speak —
those words that would try to stay.
But I’m at work, says the Spirit of Grace,
in those that would continually seek My face….
OH, it’s been such a fight!
It’s been such a fight for so many for so long!
But all the while, 
I’ve been working to grow you strong...

Pray, worship, and wait in His Presence!

This is awesome! Many prophecies have been spoken, that the President will be Spirit-filled and speak in tongues. His openness to the evangelical Spirit-filled Church is wonderful!
Let’s pray for this event, that God will have His way and that great movement will go forward for God’s agenda for America and President Trump.

Merry Christmas From Lightnings Ministries!

#Lynne_Hammond


Put your angels to work!
-Helen Utegaard

Angels are ministers of God who hearken to His voice and the voice of His Word. That word “hearken” means obey. They obey the voice of God’s Word. How does the Word of God have a voice? It has a voice every time you and I speak it. When you hide the Word of God in your heart and confess that Word by faith, you put angels in motion. You mobilize them to help and deliver. 

This Christmas, as you think about Jesus and the stories surrounding His precious birth, think about the angels. Think about how these angelic encounters absolutely transformed the lives of those in the Christmas story as well as the lives of those around the world. Then realize that those same angels are available to be involved in our lives today. Put God’s Word in your mouth and give them something to respond to!

I experienced so much of the same...great piece...I agree completely!
-Helen Utegaard

Most of you who know me realize it is quite rare for me to release the type of post I did yesterday rebuking the editor of Christianity Today for his support of the impeachment of President Trump. I have sit back quietly and watched very infuriating actions of Schiff, Pelosi, Comey and the other compromised characters and yet I knew I only had angry flesh responses to their evil intentions to perpetrate a coup. However, the editorial page by Mark Galli was so sinister and below the belt- and in the name of Christ- that it just had to be strongly cast down. My spirit was very stirred in me and I am glad to have found out that over 200 evangelical leaders joined in condemning that post. It was spiritually a must do.

The timing of that post was designed to cause maximum damage to President Trump and to be particularly painful as it would come from his assumed base of support. I pray the President saw from the reaction on his behalf that there is almost wholesale appreciation from the evangelical community for his brave stances of rightness and righteousness on so many fronts.

I heard after the fact that Mark Galli retires in two weeks and that there is Soros money funding at least some joint projects with Christianity Today. Those realities if true would explain more the timing of what was intended by Mark. It was absolute foolishness in every way. Some wondered about my strong statement that Trump's righteousness exceeds 90% of pastors. First you have to understand I haven't really done a study on it and secondly I am only speaking of what we know about President Trump since he became a believer. We operate anti-christlike when we condemn him for the totality of his "sins" from almost 70 years of life before giving his life to the Lord. It is not allowed.

Since coming to the Lord he has shown the highest level of courage of anyone (pastor or not) of any human I have ever met. He has risked his life, his finances and his family in order to attempt to eliminate the most treacherous and immense Goliath on the planet- "the swamp", "the deep state", etc. etc. The courage to do right and risk all in the process outweighs whatever coarseness of language he might have. Furthermore, in the upcoming days we will all be learning that most of the people he has had rough language for are immensely more dark and evil than most can even imagine. Many have thought him over the top for repeatedly calling the Clintons criminals. Most are finding out that calling them criminals is a great understatement. The same will be proven with many of the others he has confronted. Jesus called Pharisees "white walled sepulchres". How much more might He say for criminal sex and human traffickers.

And here is the obvious point in all this. President Trump was not called to be our Savior- as Jesus was. Neither was he called to be our pastor- as your pastor is. He was called to be our President in perhaps the most trying national time since Abraham Lincoln was President, with an insanely difficult assignment of uprooting multigenerational deep rooted corruption and core wickedness. Can we please stop putting him through the holiness screening? He is much more righteous than we deserve.

My Response to Christianity Today:

Christianity Today released an editorial stating that President Trump should be removed from office—and they invoked my father’s name (I suppose to try to bring legitimacy to their statements), so I feel it is important for me to respond. Yes, my father Billy Graham founded Christianity Today; but no, he would not agree with their opinion piece. In fact, he would be very disappointed. I have not previously shared who my father voted for in the past election, but because of this article, I feel it is necessary to share it now. My father knew Donald Trump, he believed in Donald Trump, and he voted for Donald Trump. He believed that Donald J. Trump was the man for this hour in history for our nation. 

For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable. Christianity Today failed to acknowledge that not one single Republican voted with the Democrats to impeach the President. I know a number of Republicans in Congress, and many of them are strong Christians.  If the President were guilty of what the Democrats claimed, these Republicans would have joined with the Democrats to impeach him. But the Democrats were not even unanimous—two voted against impeachment and one voted present. This impeachment was politically motivated, 100% partisan. Why would Christianity Today choose to take the side of the Democrat left whose only goal is to discredit and smear the name of a sitting president?  They want readers to believe the Democrat leadership rather than believe the President of the United States.

Look at all the President has accomplished in a very short time. The economy of our nation is the strongest it has been in 50 years, ISIS & the caliphate have been defeated, and the President has renegotiated trade deals to benefit all Americans. The list of accomplishments is long, but for me as a Christian, the fact that he is the most pro-life president in modern history is extremely important—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that, to say it doesn’t count? The President has been a staunch defender of religious freedom at home and around the world—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that? Also the President has appointed conservative judges in record number—and Christianity today wants us to ignore that? Christianity Today feels he should be removed from office because of false accusations that the President emphatically denies. 

Christianity Today said it’s time to call a spade a spade. The spade is this—Christianity Today has been used by the left for their political agenda.  It’s obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism. 

Is President Trump guilty of sin? Of course he is, as were all past presidents and as each one of us are, including myself. Therefore, let’s pray for the President as he continues to lead the affairs of our nation.

Our prayers are with the Bonnke family and the family of Christ For All Nations today. So many lives have been impacted by this mighty man of God and General in the faith! All of the earth has! We honor him and the mighty legacy he has given us all. May we all run our races well and strong as he demonstrated to us! 
-Helen Utegaard
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

It is with sorrow that the Bonnke Family would like to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on December 7, 2019. For the past 60 years he has preached the glorious Gospel of Jesus throughout the entire world. We want to thank you on behalf of him and our family, for your kind love and unwavering support, which enabled him to preach the matchless message of salvation to countless people.

He preached Jesus…

“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”
Revelation 15:3-4

In Christ,
Anni Bonnke and Family

We kindly ask, in lieu of flowers, to please make a donation to Christ for all Nations – Africa Crusade.

What you pray out today you can walk in tomorrow.
What we pray out in tongues today, we can potentially walk in it tomorrow.
We can receive wisdom, keys to unlock and open doors, and revelation of the blessings and the will and plans of God for our lives!

Trying to overthrow God or "the anointing" ... how dumb can you get?

"Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm." (Ps. 105:15)

It already failed once! He got thrown out of heaven and he will get thrown out of place in the earth ... he is illegitimate ... if the Church will bind the enemy and loose and enforce the ANOINTING!
VICTORY COMES!
