How You Can Stop Evil with Breakthrough Prayer Doug Addison with Rebecca Greenwood [Episode 68] October 10, 2018 Hey friends, Doug Addison here. Welcome to another Spirit Connection podcast. I want to talk about something that is so, so important. You would think everyone would be doing it more but, unfortunately, people tend to do less of it—and that is prayer. You all know it’s good for you. But sometimes, you know, we get too busy or maybe we feel overwhelmed. Or there’s warfare every time you go to do it, or maybe you have so many things to do, one more thing is just too much. But I want to open something up over you that’s going to shift the spiritual atmosphere for you. I’m really excited about the subject. I’m a prophetic intercessor myself. I get up every day between 4 and 5 a.m., not because I have to, but because I want to. I have an assignment to pray for people. I pray for you, I pray for the people who follow me, and I want to pray right now. Lord, open the heavens. Open things up over us, even over this podcast right now to receive this download, this revelation, that we can pray and shift the spiritual atmosphere, that we can pray to change our cities, change our families, change ourselves. There’s new power coming right now in this area of prayer, in Jesus’ name. Amen. You know, I was praying on June 12, 2016. It was an interesting morning. You know, I got up. There wasn’t really anything different that I did that I wasn’t doing before. But that morning the Lord took me into praying something specific, and He asked me to pray that killings would be stopped and the plans of the enemy would be revealed. That’s prophetic intercession. That’s where you’re just praying, you know, where God leads you. Later that day, just 2 miles from my home in Santa Monica, California, a gunman was captured before he was able to fire one shot. And that was the morning, as well, as the Pulse Nightclub where 49 people had died. It was a horrible time in the state of Florida. It was one of the worst shootings in the ... I don’t know if there has been any that has gotten worse, but that was a bad one. And before—I didn’t even know that the Florida nightclub shooting had taken place—but before I knew it, the Lord had me praying to Copyright © 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. stop this attack. And He said to me, “You need to train others on how to pray with power to stop the spirit of terrorism and murder.” Yes, this is terrorism. It releases fear and terror. Demonic spirits of fear and terrorism have been unleashed on the Earth right now to try to stop the coming revival. That’s what the Lord told me. This is designed by Satan to stop the move on the Earth, but also to stop the move in your life. The same spirits—fear, murder, terrorism—have been unleashed in the book of Acts. Did you know that? It’s the same thing. So it’s like, “Did you know that terrorism is in the Bible?” Yes, it’s the same spirits. Fear, murder and terror were unleashed during the time of the early Church. Most people don’t recognized this, but this really demonic spirit of terrorism is nothing new. It’s been going on all along. It’s been going on a long time. So, if you look at it in the book of Acts … Saul, one of the murderers himself, he approved the murder of Stephen, and he had then later converted to Christianity in Acts chapter 9. It was a radical encounter, actually, that he had. But he had this time where, in Acts 7, an innocent man of God was among those first to be martyred, Stephen. He was taken and stoned to death because of his standing up for his faith. Now, this ... Listen. This was terror, right? There was terrorism. It was fear. But if you look at it—that was Acts chapter 7—that caused something to shift the spiritual atmosphere. And in the heavens, God responded to the prayers of the people, and He sent Saul, or the apostle Paul, who was one of the greatest revivalists and apostolic leaders of the New Testament. It was the blood of those who were dying that caused God to send one of the biggest revivals in Church history. And I believe God’s about to do it once again. In fact, Genesis 4:10–11 (NIV): The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse …” Now, this was Cain killing Abel. It started a long time ago. But the blood of Abel cried out from the Earth to bring justice and the Lord moved. The blood of Jesus breaks all the curses, but it’s not automatic. We actually have to approach the Throne of Grace, in the place of prayer, and ask for redemption. Now we claim the blood of Jesus Christ. Joel 3:21 (NIV): “Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged? No, I will not.” [declares the Lord.] This is really important. We need to claim the blood of Jesus, and we need to let God do the revenge and not us. If we start taking revenge, if we start taking things on ourselves, then we’re stepping into a place that we don’t belong and we lose some of our authority in the place of prayer. But if you begin to claim all the innocent blood that’s going on right now—all the shootings around the world, stuff in your family, whether it’s literal 2 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. dying, or it’s spiritual death or it’s financial death—you know, we can claim those things and bring them into the Court of Heaven. When we read the news, there’s so much innocent bloodshed happening today. We have a choice of getting angry at God or others, or taking this innocent blood or these injustices to the place of prayer. And whenever there is a mass shooting or a bombing or a major loss of life, we actually need to take that to the place of prayer, into the Courts of Heaven, and ask for repayment in the form of blessings, revivals in any area. So, the prophetic intercessors begin to cry out right now. Cry out that the innocent blood would then now bring revival like in the book of Acts. Read it yourself in Acts 7 and then Acts 9. We saw in Acts 7 when the innocent blood of Stephen as a martyr caused the Lord to send his very murderer, so to speak. He was involved in it. He converted someone from darkness and brought an incredible light. So, the Lord’s calling us to pull together in prayer right now. We need to expose the plans of enemies. We need shooters and bombers to be exposed or caught. We need to ask for repayment for the deaths, for the losses of life, for all the terrorism going on. We need to use the internet right now to band together and ask the Lord to move. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” Isaiah 54:17 NKJV So, we can stop terrorism, cyber-attacks, hacking attacks, shootings, road rage, innocent deaths. We can actually pray and stop ISIS and Taliban. We can stop the super storms, the hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods, outbreaks of viruses, sicknesses, disease, attacks on our finances, our relationships, our health, our well- being. We can do this through the place of prayer. That’s why ... I tell you, this is my motivation right now, folks, for getting up at 4 a.m. and my prayer list is always active. I have to watch the news and put on a news app on my cell phone because I pray every day, and I’m expecting to see the things I pray for stopped or exposed. I have that faith right now, and I want to talk to you about this today. In fact, I have a special guest on the podcast, someone who has helped me in the area of prayer. Her name is Rebecca Greenwood. She’s the author of 8 books. She’s been on TBN, It’s Supernatural, many shows. And she has this anointing to break things open in the area of prayer. When we were in need here in Hollywood, she was the one who helped us to shore up our walls where we were getting attacked, and we’re not getting attacked anymore. In fact, it set up ... The coming for my healing that I got, I credit Rebecca Greenwood for it. And I’m so excited that we’re going to have her on the show. Now, get ready to be rocked. Doug: Rebecca Greenwood, how are you? Welcome to the podcast. 3 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. Rebecca: It is so awesome to be with you, Doug. Thank you for having me. And I’m excited about this time that we’re going to have together to talk about God’s glory and how He wants us to be people of breakthrough … Doug: Yes. Rebecca: … and how we can achieve breakthrough. So, I know you’re passionate about that as well. Doug: Yes. Well, when we met a couple of years ago—well, we never met in person, but we met over the phone—I reached out because we needed a breakthrough. We were trying to get a breakthrough here in Hollywood, and we were up under all kinds of warfare. So, I reached out to my overseers in the HIM (Harvest International) and Ché Ahn, and they recommend you. And within a few hours we were on the phone, I think, and a breakthrough happened. You helped align us into where we are today where my healing came, my establishment here in Hollywood. I went to the Lord and the servant of the Lord that He sent, Becca Greenwood. Rebecca: Well, it was my honor to be able to pray with you and to be able to help you. And, praise God, look at the healing that’s come in your life! Doug: Yes, I know. Rebecca: You know, so ... It’s just so amazing. Doug: Yes, I’m excited. Rebecca: It is very exciting. So, I’m thrilled to be with you today, Doug. I know even when we talked on the phone and gave strategies, and we prayed and all of, you know, what occurred, you know, just continued to pray for you. Doug: Yes. Rebecca: So, we totally rejoice in what God has done in your life and the healing, and that what God was wanting to establish you in there in LA, that was not robbed from you. And breakthrough came and you will be able to fulfill your purpose and destiny … Doug: Yes. Rebecca: … of what He has sent you there to do as well. 4 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. Doug: Exactly. Now, I don’t know. I’m a prophetic intercessor. I’ve been one a long time. But now it’s been like one of my main roles and it’s like, wow, I’ve never been this way. And now I’m praying, I’m getting up at 4 a.m. and praying. I don’t know if it was your anointing that rubbed off on me or something ... Rebecca: Probably. I am one that’s either up from midnight to 3 a.m. in intercession, and if I don’t wake up at midnight, it’s 4 a.m. when the Lord will wake me up to pray, so ... Doug: That is amazing. I always say, you know what? I’m not sure what time zone He’s on but ... Rebecca: I know. Doug: You know, when He used to do this I would say, “Lord, you know, You don’t have to be dramatic on me. You know, I do get up at 6 or 7, and You could just tell me then.” Rebecca: Right. Right? Doug: But He likes being the “drama King” sometimes and wake you up at the right time. Well, just tell us a little bit about your ministry and your life. Rebecca: Absolutely. Well, our ministry is Christian Harvest International. And, also, we have a prayer network, Strategic Prayer Apostolic Network, and we are very passionate. My husband and I, Greg and I, we have been married 30 years ... Doug: Wow! Rebecca: … on the 20th, which was just 2 days ago. And we are both in the ministry together, we co-founded it. And we have a passion for, obviously, prayer and intercession, prophecy, prophetic intercession, spiritual warfare prayer, where we pray for cities and regions and see transformation come. And we’ve been very involved also in deliverance ministry seeing many, many people set free and healed. So, that is kind of the gist of what we do in ministry. We love it. We travel our nation and the nations, mobilizing and equipping prophets and prayer warriors and leaders and pastors to see transformation come. So, that’s what we’re about. We have 3 awesome daughters. Doug: Wow. 5 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. Rebecca: Our oldest daughter is Kendall. She is 27 and she’s been married 3 years to our son-in-law, Cole. Then Rebecca and Katie, they are twins and they are 24, and Rebecca got married a year ago to Justin. So, we love our daughters, and they’re all involved in our ministry at some level. The Lord made me a promise, Doug, when I was ... He started calling me to the nations when our oldest daughter Kendall was 2 1/2 and I was reading the book, Reese Howell’s Intercessor. A friend had given me that book. I was already in intercession, functioning in intercession, and the Lord would wake me up in the middle of the night like what we were talking about before we started recording. I would spend hours in intercession. But during this time of reading Reese Howell’s was when the nations really started to stir in my heart. I hope it’s ... I’ll just go ahead and share this one story. Doug: Yes. Go for it. Rebecca: I think it will bless people that are listening. You know, as we’re even talking about my book, Glory Warfare, if the Lord heads us in that direction, but we’ll just stay where the Lord’s leading us. But, literally, my friend gave me this book as a gift. And she said, “This has to do with your calling of intercession to the nations.” I started reading the book, but what I noticed is … Because I had—especially at that time and I still do, but it was really active—my dream life back then, because revelation was new to me. It was really flowing. And so I would dream and not, you know, the night before. And I would open up the book and read a chapter in the book, and I would realize that what I had just read in that chapter in the book, the next day was what I had dreamed the night before. But instead of it being Reese in the dream of what was happening, it was me. So, there was one night I had a dream. It was very real to me. I was a swim instructor, swim teacher, lifeguard, on the swim team and a coach, swim teach coach as well. So, that was my sport growing up. The Lord will speak to us in ways that we can relate. Doug: Exactly. Rebecca: I had a dream one night and Kendall, our oldest who is now 27, she was 2. And she was sitting on this pier over this lake, and it was like ... We’re from Texas. It was a fishing lake, so it was deep, and she was looking down at that water off the pier swinging her legs. It was hot outside, so it looked really inviting. I was up standing on top of the hill looking down. And there were two 6 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. women who were supposed to be watching her, and they were lost in their conversation not paying attention. And I knew, as her momma, that baby was about to jump in that deep water, because it looked inviting and it was hot. So, I started shouting down to those women, “She’s gonna jump!” But they would never listen to me. So, my attention turned to her, and I started shouting, “Kendall, baby, don’t jump! Don’t jump!” And I’m running down the hill toward her in that dream, and I get right behind her on that pier, and she just can’t wait anymore. It’s too tempting. And she jumps in that deep water, and she can’t swim. It’s deep water, so she started to sink. So, I dive in after her. And when I did, she had her hand extended up. And her eyes locked mine and there was just this glorious light on her face … Doug: Wow. Rebecca: … and total peace. I almost could reach her, but then I was so out of breath from running. And one thing you learn in lifesaving is you can’t save somebody else if you, yourself, are drowning. So, your first instinct is to get the breath you need to go back down when you’re trained that way. So, I went up and I got the breath, and I went back down and the same thing. She was just in total peace, this glorious light on her face. She locked eyes with me, the tips of my fingers touched hers, and she slipped out of reach into the muddy water. And it so startled me in the dream. It was so real to me that I woke myself up out of the dream, and I ran to her bedroom, picked her up. Of course, she was in her room asleep, peaceful and sound. And I just held her and sobbed, because it was one of those dreams that was real. It was like I thought it had really happened. So, I wouldn’t pick that book back up to read. And 3 days went by and the Lord kept saying, “Becca, pick up that book.” And I told the Lord, “No,” because I was afraid of what I was going to read. So, finally I called my friend that bought me that book. I called my friend and she said, “Pick up that book and read it.” So, I did and, sure enough, this is when Reese Howells married his wife Elizabeth, and they had an 8-month-old son, Samuel. This was back in the 1930s–1940s, and they were going to go to Africa to birth revival. And it was a dangerous place where the Lord was sending them, so the Lord told them to give their son, Samuel, to Reese’s uncle for him to raise while they were in Africa for 10 years birthing revival. 7 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. So, now I’m really mad at the Lord when I read that chapter. And I get in my prayer closet and I said, “Lord, what are You saying to me? What are You saying?” He said, “I’ve called you to the nations, and you have Kendall, and you will have future children.” And He said, “Where I’ve called you, I’ve called your family.” And He said, “So, you need to lay your husband, and Kendall and your future children on the altar and give them to Me.” And my first response was, “Lord, what are people going to say? You know, they’re going to think I’m a terrible mother. Can’t I wait until Kendall and my future children are 18?” And He spoke this to me. He said, “The choice is yours, but obedience is better than sacrifice. So, if you will just start taking the steps into your calling now, just little steps,” He said, “it will provide a righteous inheritance for your children and the generations to come. And they will all have a passion for the Kingdom of God and the nations.” Doug: Wow. Rebecca: So, I laid Kendall, and my husband and my future children on the altar. And I said, “Lord, I give them to You.” Then He said this to me. It was so awesome, Doug. He said, “Don’t you know that I love your daughter and future children more than you do, and I can take better care of them than you can? And trust them to Me, and when you’re away they will be loved and cherished.” Of course, you know, I was young so I was just taking steps. So, maybe after this, it was like a trip once a year, a 2-week trip into another nation on a prayer assignment or, you know, a mission trip. But as I just continued to take those steps throughout their life, God has been so faithful … Doug: Yes. Rebecca: … to fulfill that promise. I’ll never forget … Kendall was 10 and the twins were 6. And my husband and I—it was a Saturday—we were both at home. They were upstairs with the door closed, and they all 3 came downstairs and Kendall, she came out a leader. Kendall just came out a prophet, a seer and a leader. And she said, “Mom, we’ve been having a meeting. And we want to call a family meeting, and we want to talk to you.” So, Greg and I sat down with them and Kendall said, “Now, Mom, we love all the stories that we hear about what Jesus is doing in the nations.” And instantly the enemy started whispering in my ear, “See, they’re going to tell you they feel neglected, they don’t feel loved.” I didn’t entertain it, but it was definitely there in the atmosphere. But then Kendall said, “But, Mom, we’re so tired of just hearing the stories about Jesus. We want to be a part of the stories of what Jesus is doing in the nations.” Doug: Wow! 8 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. Rebecca: “Please take us with you when you can.” So we do. And to this day even, they’re in their 20s, when they can go, they go. They love to be involved. And they’re all, you know, gifted in their own way. They’re not “clone me.” Kendall’s in the fashion industry and doing incredibly well but has a passion for the nations and travels with me. So, you know, God is so faithful. And whoever is listening … And I wasn’t even planning on sharing that story today. But whoever is listening, and any mothers or fathers that are even listening to this podcast, where God is pulling you, He’s tugging on you to step into calling and destiny. And where culture or traditions sometimes have said, “You have to wait until a certain time.” If He’s calling you now, He’s calling your family. And He will give the grace, and He will give the anointing, and He will be faithful. He will be faithful to surround your family with His presence, and His love, and His grace ... Doug: Yes. Rebecca: … to see you through what He has called you to do. Doug: That’s a powerful word. Rebecca: It is. And I think there’s even some mommas—and I think there’s even some women that are listening right now—that this is tugging on your heart. I feel it in the spirit right now, and that it’s tugging on your heart. And if the Lord is speaking to you to be in government, to be a teacher, to be a nation traveler—whatever He’s calling you to do, and whatever He’s calling you to be—you don’t have to wait until your children are 18. If you step in now, they’ll catch the anointing with you. And it will be a family anointing, and it will create a passion in them. So, I just want to encourage all of you—even women and mothers that are listening right now—start taking those steps towards who God has called you to be. Don’t delay your promise and your destiny. Doug: Yes. That is such a word, and it lines up with some prophetic words I’ve been releasing … Rebecca: Oh. Doug: …that even over the next, the next few months, we’re going to see these things happen. It’s a big, divine realignment happening in the Kingdom right now. And we’re just so grateful that the Holy Spirit spoke to you, to just share this, because it’s something I know that people are ... I just tell you, watch and see. Watch and see. You’re going to want to listen to this again, because 9 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved. there’s such an anointing being released right now. Wow! That was so, so good. Rebecca: Amen. Amen. Doug: Well, you just released a new book, or you’re releasing a new book soon? Rebecca: Yes. It will be out the end of October, the beginning of November, and it is called Glory Warfare. So, we are very excited about the book and Destiny Image is releasing it. There are two messages that I had been sharing for a couple of years. The Lord had had me sharing from Isaiah 60, Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Then also, He had me teaching a message from Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit fell at Pentecost, and the Lord just started combining these two messages together that He had given me. Obviously, by how I introduced myself, Doug, you know … We’re involved in deliverance ministry. We pray for cities and regions to see transformation come. And we really have seen incredible, measurable breakthroughs and results as the Lord has sent us out into our nation and nations, you know? So, I’m just passionate about people understanding the glory realm, and that it’s available to each of us, and that we can enter into His presence. We can enter into His throne room, and we can encounter Him in that glory in such beautiful ways that it can be life transforming. But not only even life transforming, but it can literally empower us to be people of breakthrough. This is one thing that I tell people. When we’re anointed in the glory and God has given us an assignment, and He has anointed us for an assignment that He ... In that glory realm, we’re anointed for breakthrough and victory. There is no defeat in the glory realm of God. And we’re not fighting for victory, we’re fighting from victory, and we’re fighting from what Jesus has already obtained. You know, many times we hear this word, you know, “glory” and, “Oh, the service was glorious,” and “His glory was so tangible,” you know? So, when I’ve been teaching this message, and … What does it mean? What does that word glory mean? It actually means splendor. It means honor. It means wealth—and not even just financial wealth, which is awesome, but wealth spiritually, wealth in our emotions, wealth in our body … Just that whole wealth area of the Kingdom of God. And it means a manifestation of power. And it means a glorious presence. And it means, not only do we have that glorious presence, but there’s a reward. There’s a glory that comes into us, in our inner person, when we 10 © Copyright 2018 Doug Addison and InLight Connection. All Rights Reserved.
