Dear Church, The below is a letter from me in response to one who wrote to me today - to say something about: Where are the intercessors, and should we make those who are praying feel pressure to pray more, etc.!

When I finished my response to this beloved friend, I felt to share what I got in me to respond. Thanks for your time.

Blessings,

Joan Ann

My Response
***********

Beloved, in answer to you I present the following for you to ponder.

The Church as a whole is letting down on prayer. The fear of what is going on in America is a "first" and has had an effect on the Church that it should not have "if" the saints were walking in "faith" and living in obedience to God in that Psalm 91 place.

Another interesting point I want to make is this. The Church is being divided into two groups - actually three. It is like the vision God showed me that was beginning in 2001, and I believe it is now in place. This took place for me at a Rick Joyner's end-of-year (December 29, 30 and 31st) Conference in Jacksonville, Florida the end of 2000.

The vision came above the platform where Steve Thompson (Rick's right-hand man) was speaking. Prophets like Paul Cain, Bob Jones, and others were all scheduled to speak there. Anyway, I saw three roads.

The first road was wide, and Church folks were filling it up and going off into the world and away from God. This is where some of our loss-of- prayer persons are right now.

The second road was a little more narrow, and there were persons filling it who did not want to change - they wanted to stay "Second Day" and not rock the boat with the new move of God hitting the Church - The Glory Third Day Church was a bit much for them. They were all going to go to heaven, but liked things the way they have been for years.

The third road was the Remnant Church. It was filled with the Glory of God Third Day Church saints and it was quite a narrow road. Not a lot of people were to be seen on it like the other two roads. Yet it seemed as if it would be fuller as the harvest came in.

Beloved, I get in me in response to your e-mail as to where are those that are the intercessors, that the Third Road - the road that is so narrow - is what we have left in faithful intercessors. This is why my spirit grieves. We need more faithful intercessors and even just church people who will pray for such a time as this.

I am in a place of warning the intercessors as I am called by Prophet Bill Hamon's top Prophet Bill Lackie in September 2002 a General of Intercession. Prophet Chuck Flynn said I have a forerunner call, and I understand this call and know that what I get in me is to go ahead and "tell". I was told I would be criticized and persecuted, but to do what the spirit of God speaks to me to do or say as an itinerant prophetic ministry, too.

Some may get the whipping a horse or the warning of the intercessors and any of those in the Church to pray and not do business as usual as much as possible as a little too "whatever". But I will do what I get in me or be held accountable by God - for who knows if we have come to the KINGDOM for such a TIME as this.

Love and Blessings,

Joan Ann
