12 DAYS OF REJOICING, ASCENDING AND UNLOCKING
YOUR HARVEST POTENTIAL
December 19, 2002
Dear Rejoicing, Worshipping Warriors:
This is a joyous season! Lots of “firsts” this month! It was such a joy to see my assistant, Brian
Kooiman, and the former Lori Wentroble start their life together as one on December 7! The new book Worship Warrior was released
last week! I am praying that this Sabbath Rest Year allows the “first fruit, double portion” anointing to
manifest in you. This will be a year that we must understand the principle of first fruits if we are going to break
into the mentality that will reap the Harvest the Lord has for the future.
The passage that I keep reading for this particular Christmas season has to do with the shepherds. . .
“Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
Then the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. For there is born
to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe
wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men!’ So it was,
when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us now go to Bethlehem
and see the thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.’ And they came with haste and found Mary
and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. And now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told
them concerning this child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But
Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.” (Luke 2:8-20)
Here are the ten points that the Lord has me praying for
each one of you in the Body this month:
1. Expect God to visit where you are…He wants to intervene in your normal
activities.
2. Keep watch and stewardship over what you have been assigned…
3.
Listen for Divine messengers with an announcement…
4. Look for the signs…a
Babe in swaddling clothes. Know what you are looking for.
5. Hear the Host of
Heaven…
6. Be willing to go and look for your promise…
7.
Boldly share your testimony….
8. Let your witness have results…
9.
Lean not on your own understanding, but meditate before the Lord…
10. Praise and Glorify
Him for all He has done for you this year!
Notice the relationship between divine visitation, angelic hosts, and the response of the shepherds in that they follow,
boldly share, and then express praise and glory back to God. THIS YEAR WILL BE THE HISTORICAL SHIFTING YEAR FOR THE
BODY OF CHRIST IN WORSHIP. A NEW DEMONSTRATION OF WORSHIP FROM GOD’S PEOPLE WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF THE
HARVEST SEASON AHEAD. My prayer for you is to submit yourself to God. Resist the devil. Watch your enemy flee.
Draw near to God. And watch Him draw near and anoint you for the coming year. This anointing will set the course
for your next five years of experiencing superabundant grace and power.
12 DAYS OF REJOICING, ASCENDING AND UNLOCKING
YOUR HARVEST POTENTIAL
This is a time to rejoice. But it’s also a time to move into a new dimension of worship. This will
give you and understanding of ascension in worship. Jesus ascended. He wants us to come boldly into the Throne
Room. Here are some Biblical promises that come with ascension. When we ascend in worship, we can expect to experience
these things.
Day 1: Read John 14:1-2. Review your testimony of salvation. Allow the Lord to release new confidence
within you. Have an assurance that a heavenly place has been prepared for you. Operate in the earth with an eternal
view.
Day 2: Read John 14:5-7. Break any spirit of doubt that has crept into your life. Thomas, who had a
spirit of doubt, questioned the Lord on how to follow Him. There is power in the supernatural connection that we have
with Jesus by the Spirit. He gives us access to the Father and all of His love.
Day 3: Read John
14:21. As you worship, receive a spirit of revelation. Obey. Usually, He will tell you something very simple
to do. There are many needs during this season, physically and emotionally. Ask the Lord to speak to you over
how to give. As you give, you will receive revelation of who the Father is.
Day 4: Read John 16:7-9. Read Ephesians 4:7-32. Jesus ascended so the Helper (the Holy Spirit) could
come to Earth on our behalf. Therefore, if we worship and ascend, we are promised that the Holy Spirit will fill our lives.
He will bring conviction when we sin, open the way for us to experience our righteousness through faith, and condemn the devil
on our behalf. Ask Him to fill you new and fresh.
Day 5: Read Acts 7:54-60. As we ascend in worship, we are comforted in our sufferings. Ask the Lord
to touch you in the place where you have the most need.
Day 6: Read Gen. 28:10-22. Read Gen. 32:22-32. Read Acts 9:1-18. Jesus ascended. As you
worship, ask Him to reveal heaven’s call on your life. See the Hosts of Heaven assigned for your help. Be
willing to wrestle to break through.
Day 7: Read 2 Cor. 2:12-14. Ask the Lord to show you the new doors of ministry that He
has for you. We each have open doors. Do not miss your opportunities.
Day 8: Read 1 Cor. 12 & 14. Read Eph. 4:7-12. Ask the Lord to release the gift of the Holy Spirit
in you. Be aware of His gift manifesting in you. Declare your gifts will manifest in a new way. Ask the
Lord to align you properly with His government gifts in your sphere of authority. This will allow you to see a demonstration
of God’s power, authority and rule in the earthly realm.
Day 9: Read Col 3:1-4. Have confidence that you can demonstrate the life-changing power of the Gospel.
Day
10: Read 2 Tim. 4:16-18. Read 2 Kings 6. Don’t allow the enemy to convince you that he is more powerful
that the Lord. Open your eyes and see the angelic host around you. We can experience the Lord standing with us
and strengthening us so that we might accomplish His will on Earth. We can experience the power of His ascension and deliverance
from every evil work.
Day 11: Read Heb. 2:9. Declare that the power of any voice of death over the personal vision of your life
be broken. From His ascension, He demonstrated that glory, not death, is the final word of operation in our lives.
Make declarations of faith. Only through worship do we ascend into a new faith dimension.
Day 12: Read Rev. 1 – 5. Make a list of things that you need victory in for the coming year.
From ascension, we can always have a final victory.
Most Christians focus their worship on relationship and adoration.
This is excellent and right.
However, our adoration and our intimate quest to know God should never stop us short of exercising His will in the earth.
This is a time of radical pursuit for God’s people. This is a time that what God is doing and saying in heaven
must be manifested on earth.
This is a time where the Spirit of the Lord is extending a call of worship to believers in the earth realm. This
call of God is releasing a sound from heaven that is being embraced by people all over the earth. The call causes us
to draw near in intimacy.
The sound causes us to go to war.
The war in the earth realm has always been over worship, fought by worship, and won by worship. I love how worship
and ascension work together. Once we go up to the Throne Room and gain revelation from the Father, we descend (again,
this is spiritual movement not a physical one) and begin to share it down here on Earth.

Most Christians focus their worship on relationship and adoration. This is excellent and right. However, our adoration
and our intimate quest to know God should never stop us short of exercising His will in the earth. This is a time of radical
pursuit of God's people. This is a time that what God is doing and saying in heaven must be manifested on earth. This is a
time where the Spirit of The Lord is extending a call of worship to believers in the earth realm. This call of God is releasing
a sound from heaven that is being embraced by people all over the earth. The call causes us to draw near in intimacy. The
sound causes us to go to war.
The war in the earth realm has always been over worship, fought by worship, and won by worship. Lucifer, the chief cherub,
led the angelic hosts in heaven in the worship of the Creator. However, he made a decision that he no longer wanted to be
a worshiper, but he wanted to be worshiped. This is when WORSHIP WARS began. Today, they continue in the church, in the earth,
and in the heaven above the earth.
Worship warriors, arise! Worship Warriors in the generations, connect and stand! Stand together! This is the time to
worship, enter boldly into the Throne Room, be clothed with Favor, and go to war! The sound is being released! Listen to the
sound! Enter the battle! Release the Harvest!

"You hold in your hands a weapon of warfare to be wielded only by the worshipful. This book will change your life - as
you become a worshipful warrior." -Tommy Tenney, Author, The God Chasers
"The Worship Warrior gives us fresh insight into the marvelous relationship of worship and warfare. For the days ahead,
we must learn how to ascend first in worship, receiving strength, wisdom and courage and then descend into battle to push
back the gates of hell and establish His Kingdom." ---Dutch Sheets, Author, Intercessory Prayer
Blessings abundantly,
