Eight Things that Activate Holy Spirit in Your Life

Eight things that activate Holy Spirit in your life.

  1. FAITH—Shed the victim mentality and believe God for a miracle.  Speaking God’s word over you and your family will unlock the resources of heaven.  Heb. 11:1 & 6  (Read it.)  Rom. 10:17 & 8 (Reading required)  Get active in God’s word.
  2. Prayer—Talk to God like your talking to a friend.  The Lord loves to communicate with you.  This creates an avenue of intimacy with the Lord.  Don’t be religious-you don’t have to say everything right.  Just talk to him.  Matt. 6:9-14
  3. Worship—When worship becomes a focus in your life it creates an atmosphere of His presence.  Open your mouth and begin to sing.  Sing unto the Lord a new song.  Psalm 22:3
  4. Intercede—Taking up the cause of Christ in the earth puts you in a position of partnering with him.  Partner with him through intercession.  1 Tim. 1:1-3
  5. Pray in Tongues—When you pray in tongues you edify your spirit and build up your faith.  If you don’t pray in tongues, ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.  Acts 2:1-4; I Cor. 14:4; Jude 20  (Read it)
  6. Forgive—Forgiveness is not an emotion but an act of your will that can change your emotions.  If someone has wounded you begin to say, “I forgive (put in their name) in Jesus name.  Keep doing this every time satan brings up the offense.  John 20-23; Mark 11:25 (Read it)
  7. Prophesy—Prophesy the word of the Lord over your life.  Prophesy His written word but also a word spoken to you.  Keep doing this until it comes to pass.  Isaiah 55:10-11
  8. Walk in Righteousness—Realize that Jesus bore your sin that you might be made righteous through Him.  Begin to declare that you are righteous because of Him.  2 Cor 5:21

These are a few but not all of the things that will activate the hand of God in your life.

God’s Call to Men

On August 24, 2021, the Lord gave me a dream.  I believe God is now activating this dream as we birth the third great awakening revival in America.  

In this dream, my wife, Cheryl, and I are attending a service where Dutch Sheets will be speaking. We enter the building, and I quickly discern that the spiritual atmosphere does not feel conducive to a move of God or Revival.  Something does not feel right.  As we move further into the facility, we see that Dutch is sitting in the middle section of the right side of the room.  This is unusual since speakers are typically seated in the front row.  Cheryl and I then find a seat next to Dutch and begin a conversation with him.  Two retired pastors are leading worship as the service begins.  Music from an old wineskin of worship is played and the spiritual climate moves from bad to worse…and on from there.  This service is lifeless and it needs to shift!

The time has now come for Dutch to speak.  As he walks forward to receive the microphone, the worship leader refuses to hand it over.  What is typically a smooth transition has now become a “tug of war.”  That which is lifeless tries to hold on to control. The former does not want to give way to the new. Finally, Dutch wrestles the mic from the song leader’s hand. The battle is both physical and spiritual!  As Dutch takes the mic, the spiritual atmosphere begins to change.  

Dutch raises the hand-held mic and before he can even speak a word, the Spirit of Yahweh manifests in a powerful way.  In the house, there are one hundred men.  Two men from each state within the Nation.  As Yahweh’s Spirit manifests, every man in the house falls to the floor, laying prostrate before God. They begin weeping and travailing in birthing prayer before the Lord for their state and Nation.  The cry of each man is deep, and the groans and travail are as the sound one hears when a woman gives birth. This groan, however, does not originate from the earth, but from the heavenly realms.  Holy Spirit is calling men to give birth to the greatest move of God in America.  It is at this time when Dutch begins to identify each man and their state. He comes to me and says, “I know this man, this is Ken Malone from Florida.”  The travail continues as each man is incapacitated on the floor.  Prayers are being released that will shift the Nation. In this dream, Yahweh’s approval is on these men as they have abandoned their desires and embraced His.  Each man’s wife was standing beside them as the men prayed.  I knew these women were watching over their spouses to make sure nothing interfered with their husband’s intercession.

In the dream, I heard our Lord say, “I’m calling MEN to birth revival in this nation through prayer. This is the game-changer.”

Several scriptures came to me through this dream:

Isaiah 66:6-8 NASB, “A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple,
The voice of the Lord who is rendering recompense to His enemies. “Before she travailed, she brought forth; Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy.
“Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a nation be brought forth all at once? As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons.

Jeremiah 30:6 NASB, ‘Ask now, and see If a male can give birth. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in childbirth? And why have all faces turned pale?

Psalm 42:7 NASB, Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

This is where the dream ends.

I awoke from this dream weeping for America. After falling asleep again, the dream returns, and I am travailing for my State and for America.  When I awoke the second time, my body was shaking as I wept for our nation.

I am so thankful for the women who have led the prayer movement across America.  Over the years, most of our prayer gatherings have consisted of faithful women who have answered the call of intercession.  Again, I’m so grateful for this. We are where we are today because of your faithfulness, crying out to Yahweh for America.  

However, today there is a call from heaven being made to the hearts of male prayer warriors.  A cry in the wilderness for men to become raw and unbridled before the Lord.  For men to groan and travail in prayer for our Nation.  Nations can shift and turn to our Lord through the birthing prayer of both men and women.  

Since receiving this revelation in the night, the Lord has shown me some additional things.

First, in each place I have shared this dream, many men have answered the call to prayer.  Men do want to pray and they are hungry to intercede. There is a deep desire in their heart to help birth a third awakening in this nation that will surpass both the first and second great awakenings.  

Next, men need to be led.  They need to be led by other men. Iron sharpens Iron.  Most of these men are “undomesticated” prayer warriors that have been left dormant in the wilderness. They’re not rebellious, they’re passionate.  These are men that have become fed up with the current state of America. Their intercession is raw, without the filters of religion. Each one wants to be empowered and then sent to do this work of intercession. We need more of these men who are willing to become unbridled prayer warriors! 

Religion has worked hard to keep MEN out of the seat of authority assigned to them by our Heavenly Father. Men must fight…and they want to fight, in prayer, for our families, cities, states, and Nation.  A portion of this dream reveals how religion wants to stage a lifeless form of worship. Religion seeks to fulfill 2 Timothy 3:5, “of pretending to have a respect for God, but in reality, they want nothing to do with God’s power.”  

In this dream, each wife was watching over their husband with their face set like flint.  They would not allow anything to interfere with their husband fulfilling the call Holy Spirit has given him.  Not only were these women guarding their husbands, but they were also in approval of their husbands in this new position of travailing prayer.

Today, I am calling on every man to appeal to heaven in prayer, travail, and intercession for this Nation.  Through you, Yahweh can bring great change to America!

 Let’s pray!

Father, as men, we come face to face with You. We turn our hearts toward Your desire for America to return home to You. We commit to You today that we will answer this call of intercession. Connect us with other men, who have no agenda except to make Jesus, King over the United States of America. 

Our decree:

As a man, I am here to fight through prayer.  I will not be bogged down in the restraints of religion. Father, I decree that this day we answer the call. On this day we fight, in prayer.

I declare America, will not die! Father, I say remember Your covenant with this country and have mercy on us! Turn the heart of every inhabitant to You and save America!  I decree today that Your kingdom has come and Your will is being done!  America Shall Be Saved!

Lost Priorities by: Ken Malone

Lost Priorities

One of the things I have seen so much of over the last few years, is the number of married ministers or their spouse falling into adultery. My intention is not to throw rocks or blame male or female but to share my heart on a pattern I see in some ministers. What I will share in the next few paragraphs, is only one of the traps, that I see, that ministers face. Some of our ministers are falling prey to this enemy. God’s grace is sufficient to defeat this. Do not think it is just men who fall into this. I have watched an equal number of men and women fall in this trap. Father’s heart is hurting by this covenant breaking. However, He also has restoration for all who fall into this or any snare. Adultery is an ENEMY, and it should be viewed as that.  Those who fall prey to it are not our enemy but the spirit behind it is. Wrong priorities are also the enemy of the family.

Married to the Ministry?

So many of our ministers are married to their ministry and they put ministry far ahead of their family. I do not believe they intend to fall into this snare but because of wrong priorities, it happens.

I have seen so many who are on the road in ministry and or business and their spouse and children are given the leftovers. When this happens, it is possible for the spouse to stray from the covenant of marriage, wrecking the marriage, ministry or business. BTW-I have also seen much restoration of marriages and ministry.

Help My Marriage

Many years back, I was asked by a minister to counsel and pray with him about his marriage. He pastored a church but also traveled in his business. His business was successful, and his ministry was growing. He was gone 4-5 days each week. He would come home on the weekend, minister to his congregation and then back out on the road. He took little time to be a husband to his wife and a father to his kids. He shared with me, “my wife is in an affair with a man from our church.” My heart hurt for him, but I could see the root and cause of this breach; his ministry and business. The appearance of success drove him.

I prayed with him and shared the word of God with him. I then gave him a prophetic word; I know was from Holy Spirit.  Come off the road for a minimum of six months. Even if it costs you your job, come off the road. He did not like the word. I can understand, he was successful in his business, but we are speaking of something more important than his business or ministry; his marriage. He said, “I can do this without coming off the road.”

That night, at dinner, I met with he and his wife. She was so uncomfortable. The shame and defiance were so obvious. She said, “I have ended the affair and will not do this again.” My discernment knew this was a lie. Until brokenness occurs, adulterers will always lie. It was obvious, there was no brokenness. Again, I urged him to come off the road. His reply was, “No we can do this without me coming off the road.” Can you hear the arrogance in his answer?.  His thoughts may have been, let’s keep this looking successful. Let’s keep the ministry, keep the business, and keep my marriage and all will look successful. His wife did not stay faithful. Today they are divorced, the church is closed, and he moved.

This word is to both men and female ministers. Your ministry DOES NOT, come before your family. If you do, you are in dangerous waters. I have met so many who view their ministry in higher regard than their spouse. This is not biblical and is outside of God’s defining character.

Affair Proof

Our Father did not give Adam ministry first. He gave him relationship, to himself and then his wife. She was God’s gift to him. There was an agape love that flowed from Adam and Eve. They were so one with the Father and each other. The competitive nature (male versus female,) was not within them. An agape love was their motivation.

As I share this crucial protocol, with all the young ministers I know. Some look at me like, “what are you talking about? Ministry comes first.” I have heard preachers say to their spouse, “Now honey you know ministry comes first.”  I heard one minister say to their spouse, as the affair was exposed, “You can’t do that, I’m in the ministry.”  The minister’s reputation, (success) was on the line. They had put the ministry ahead of the spouse for years, now they were reaping the harvest of neglect in their marriage. Even as they were losing their spouse, they continued to place ministry first. To some the appearance of success is most important.

Accountability

Be accountable to your spouse. Whether you are the one traveling in ministry or stay at home. Tell them how you feel, do not stay silent. Only travel if your spouse is in agreement. Take your spouse with you. Cheryl goes with me most of the time. I’m strengthened to minister, by her presence.

Several years ago, I did ministry among the Navajo.  These are the code-talkers who helped win the war against Japan. The Navajo used their native language as code and the Japanese could not decode it.

I always carried others with me to New Mexico. On my first trip I took two friends, Ken LaGrow and Everett Hamilton. On my second trip I took several ministry friends. We usually stayed anywhere from 3 to 7 days. The second trip was very demanding on me physically and emotionally. After the mission was over, our group went back to Albuquerque and pulled into the Holiday Inn. One of my spiritual sons, Geary, was driving. I hopped out of the van and walked inside to the counter and asked for my room. As I’m standing there a lady walks up beside me and puts her arm under my arm. She said, “We want a room on the top floor, where no one can hear us.  

I immediately remove my arm from hers and said, No I do not. I am married.  She then walked behind the counter, and I could see, Holiday Inn on her clothes. She preceded to say, “I want to know what room he’s in, so I can visit him tonight.” I said, “Do not give it to her.” I got my room key and went to my room. I then called my wife Cheryl and explained to her what took place. I needed to be accountable. I did not want to deal with the demons this woman carried, bothering me in the night. Cheryl prayed and broke all the demons off. Thank God for a wife who will pray for her husband. I then called my apostle, Dutch Sheets and told him what was going on. He prayed also and removed any dark thoughts. I then called my team together in the lobby and they prayed. A few of the women in the team wanted to do deliverance on this lady. Both spiritual and physical. If Cheryl had been there, she would have decked the woman and then led her to Yeshua.

I found out later, that she was the bar tender at the hotel and flirting was how she received large tips. How many men took her up on her gestures?

I never went back to the Navajo without Cheryl.

Accountability and correction plays a hug role in our walk with our Lord. I love the opportunity that accountability gives to us. I also embrace correction, especially from my wife and my apostle, Dutch.

To all my ministry friends—Your spouse comes before ministry. Sow into them. Take them on dates. Go, do the things you did, when you were falling in love with them. This will affair proof your marriage before it crashes.

All of us need grace to live by. God’s grace is not only unmerited favor, but an empowerment by God to live a life holy and acceptable. You can’t do holiness but His grace in you can.

Prayer

Let’s pray. Father, we humbly ask for your grace to empower us to be sons and daughters. We are not perfect, but we so desire Your life in us. Forgive us for our sins of putting ministry first and not being accountable to you and our spouse. Lord, we ask you to pour Your grace upon us to prioritize You first, then our spouse, In Yeshua’s name.

Praying for America

Dear Praying Ones,

A few weeks ago, I was in Washington D.C. praying for our nation. I am very encouraged with the plans that our Father has for America. In the prayer meeting I was a part of, most prayed strong prayers of declaration and decrees. A turning was declared and the uprooting of the religious spirit was decreed.

As you know there are many forces trying to remove the “Ancient Path” of the Lord from America. God is calling His Ekklesia to take a stand for righteous and justice to prevail in our nation.

Throughout scripture when it was time to stand and make a change over a nation the Lord would rise up in militant fashion to overthrow the works of the enemy. Jesus said in Matthew 11:12 “the violent take it by force.”

As a praying Ekklesia, we now must become forceful in our intercession and not passive. I want to ask you to join me in praying for our nation. Below are some powerful prayer points.

  1. Pray for divine reversal of all satan is seeking to do in America. Reverse every curse on the head of the enemy.
  2. Decree a just and righteous scales will be used to determine the election. In Proverbs 20:23 the Lord says, “Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord, And a false scale is not good.”
  3. Pray for the overthrow of the forces of darkness, liberal thinking and false idols that seek to rule our nation.
  4. Decree that Jesus Christ is the ruler of the United States of America.
  5. Pray for boldness in the people of God. Where the Lord is taking us is not for the faint of heart. Decree the boldness of the Lion of Judah arises in you.
  6. Proclaim the word of God and all the prophets have spoken. Decree God’s word over America. Decree what the prophets have spoken.
  7. Giants do not fall without a fight. Goliath did not fall until David met him on the field of battle. The temple wasn’t cleansed until Jesus overturned the tables and drove out that which shouldn’t be there. Speak to the giants of our nation and drive them out with the name of Jesus.
  8. Pray in tongues. Romans 8:26 says we often do not know how to pray but that Holy Spirit can pray through us. Praying in tongues bypasses the mind, the news and the circumstances and goes right to the heart of our Father.
  9. Worship God over our nation. Worship opens the heavens and America needs an open heaven. Worship leaders, worship the Lord over our nation. Sing the song, “God Bless America.”
  10. Pastors please take time in your service to pray and seek God for America.
  11. Home Prayer Groups, Houses of Prayer please carve out time to cry out to God for our nation.
  12. Decree, Kingdom of God come, will of God be done in America as in Heaven.

Lord of the Harvest

Lord of the Harvest by: Ken Malone

The least prayed and most neglected prayer is the one in Matthew 9:37-38.  The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers in His harvest.

Many of the other prayers are prayed.  Matthew 6:9-13 is probably the most prayed prayer of the bible.  We refer to it as the “Lord’s Pray.” We pray to Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi and many of the names of the Lord.  But for the most part we have never prayed to: The Lord of Harvest.  No wonder revival, awakening and the salvation of souls is at a snail’s pace.  We have not been a good steward of the prayer in Matthew 9:38.  I am repenting of this neglect and implementing it as a large part of my life.

Think about what would happen if we began to pray this prayer into our neighborhoods, towns, state and nation.  What would happen if we began to pray to the “Lord of the Harvest” to send laborers to our family members?  Dads, moms, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and friends would see the Lord visit them.  That Holy Spirit’s visit would be from a laborer preaching the gospel of Christ’s kingdom.

The Prodigals Return

We are in the season of the prodigals returning to the Father’s House.  In 2018 Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “The prodigals are weeping, it’s the time of their return.”  As we pray to our “Lord of the Harvest,” ask Him to send laborers into the harvest field of the prodigals.

I strongly believe that the prodigals return, will be the first fruits of awakening.  They’re coming into Father’s House by the millions.

Don’t be as the elder brother, Luke 15:11-32, who despised the return of his wayward brother.  Once these prodigals return, they are no longer prodigals but found by the Lord of the Harvest.

In the mid 90’s, I spoke in a church in Winter Haven FL.  At the end of the service, I was praying for people and prayed for a young lady, in her late teens or early 20’s.  Upon praying for her she was slain in the Holy Spirit and began to break out in Holy laughter.  Holy Spirit worked on this gal for a good 30 minutes.  I went on and prayed for other people.

At the close of the service her mother came up to me and began rebuking me for what I did to her daughter.  She said, “You should not have done that to her.” My response was “I did nothing but pray for her, Holy Spirit did the work.”  She went on, “Well, that was not Holy Spirit that was the satan doing that. She needs to repent.  If you had known the sin she’s been in, you would not have prayed for her.  I said, she didn’t return to you but to our heavenly Father.

This mother was exactly like the elder brother.  The wayward sons and daughters are coming home our Father.  They don’t have to grovel before you to be a part of the restoration of our Lord. Let them in with joy.  Kill the fatted calf, put a ring on their finger and a rob on their back. Listen to the words of the father in Luke 15:24, For my beloved son was once dead, but now he’s alive! Once he was lost, but now he is found!’ And everyone celebrated with overflowing joy.

Dream—The Harvest                                                                                                                 Several years ago I had a dream, that I call “The Harvest,” that is really just beginning to impact my message and ministry.

In this dream I am standing in a two story barn organizing for the harvest.  Inside the barn there are implements for farming however there are only reaping implements.  There are literally thousands of reaping implements in this barn.   Plowing implements and sowing implements cannot be found.  I am working on the reaping implements and preparing them for those who will use them.  Behind the barn there are fields of harvest, as far as the eye can see.  Millions of acres of harvest fields can be seen and these fields are ripe for harvesting.  In the field there are only six laborers.  I thought in the dream, its true what Jesus said, the harvest fields are plenteous and they are ripe unto harvest but where are the workers?

The dream continues…                                                                                                                     As I stand there working on the reaping implements a suddenly takes place, a shift occurs.  A black limousine pulls up in a circular drive in front of the barn.  In the dream I think who is this? What’s going on?  A person gets out comes to me, greets me and gives me a hug as if they had always known me.  Instant connection!  Something in the spirit took place.  The Lord divinely connected me to the heart of this person.  Why was there such an instant connection with a person I had never met?  What’s the answer? “The Harvest.”  I then take this person inside the barn and give them a reaping implement that is fit just for them.  I instruct them on the use of the implement and then send them into the harvest field. 

This person gladly enters into the field they are called too.  They did not reject the reaping implement or their calling to the harvest field.  They entered into that field with passion to see the harvest reaped and brought into the kingdom of God.

This dream lasted most of the night and the scenario the same.  Another black limo pulls up this time a couple gets out, greets me as if we are best of friends, I give them a reaping implement and send them into the field of harvest.  Sometimes a couple, a single person, a family, male and female came into the barn.  People from every nation under the sun came into the barn.    Why were they there?  “The Harvest.”  Each person was entering into their ministry and the destiny the Lord has prepared for them from the dawn of history.  Each person was brought to the barn via a black limousine.  The Lord is saying I am sending the best into this third day harvest.

At the end of the dream I looked into the fields and they were full of laborers.  Thousands of laborers stood in the Lord’s fields of harvest—reaping where they had not sown.

Are you ready?                                                                                                                               It’s time to pray the least prayed prayer of the bible.  Pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers into the harvest.  Results?  Billions will come to the Lord and awakening will be in its fullness.
