• To Disperse the Kingdom’s reality requires:

1. A conscious awareness of the Spirit’s Presence
2. An awareness of the commission to actually do it
3. Passion for and commitment to an ongoing communion with God

Nothing of the Kingdom can happen on the Earth until it is first declared!

Declaration:

“God, please awaken ALL of my being to Your abiding Presence. I declare my desire for it to be so.”

• Judges 6:28-34 – Gideon
  • Vs 34 – “But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet and the Abiezites gathered behind him.”
    • (AMP) – “But the Spirit of the Lord clothed Gideon with Himself and took possession of him. He blew the trumpet and the clan of Abizer was gathered to him.”

Abiezer – “Father of Helps”

Trumpet – Call to WAR!

Clan of the “Father of Helps” >>>> Legions of angels to help in the fight???????
