DEAR JUSTICE CONTENDERS,
FIRST—THANK YOU FOR GIVING! Every Hanukkah the Lamplighter family celebrates with special gifts to the ministry. Jolene and I want to thank everyone who already responded with such generously of heart! Thanks to you we are well on our way to the goal we feel the Lord gave us, believing God for $22,000 to launch us into 2022. 

The funds will go such a long way towards funding our FIRST-EVER ASSISTANT, so needed as we move forward on this Turnaround Tuesday project as well as the upcoming 2022 Glory Train tour, media upgrades and many other projects. Above all your continued gifts help us remain and thrive in Washington DC. We are grateful!

Jolene and I were actually married on the first day of Hanukkah—when our unity candle supernaturally lit. Remember the miracle that defines Hanukkah—where the Maccabees relit the menorah to reconsecrate the Temple to the Lord. They only had enough oil for a day. Yet fresh oil supernaturally flowed for the lamp to blaze for eight days! We feel strongly that, as you sow into the release of fresh provision for Lamplighter, the Lord is unlocking for you fresh oil, by His Spirit and in the natural, to advance you through 2022. We are grateful to shine together in this season!  TO CONTRIBUTE CLICK HERE

The Hanukkah Hearings
At the forefront of our prayer project, which runs through 12-12, is the Supreme Court hearing on legalized abortion, which will be held tomorrow. Ever since September 11 of this year, Exodus 2 has been highlighted by the Lord for the hearing. It is as though Heaven’s Court is convening over this same period.

“And the sons of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage ascended to God. So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (Exodus 2:23-24).

This passage at first seems truly disconcerting. Why did it take 400 years of slavery and abuse for the Lord to “hear” the cries of His people? Noise-cancelling headphones? A lack of caring engagement on God’s part?

Neither. Because that’s just not who our God is! The word “heard” in this context, the Hebrew word shama, refers to a courtroom hearing. God brought the groanings of each of His covenant people over 400 years of bondage into a courtroom hearing. Heaven’s Court reviewed each case. And the Lord as judge remembered His covenant. The Hebrew word for “remember” is “zakar,” and it means to take to heart and then set a course of action.

That’s exactly what a judge does in court. And that’s exactly what God did. He set in motion the miraculous deliverance of His covenant people from the subjugation of Pharaoh’s bondage. LET MY PEOPLE GO! 

The question must be asked—why after 400 years? Because it was during this time that Pharaoh mandated the firstborn of Israel be cast into the Nile River. Exodus 1:22 records this. Abortion and infanticide were both legalized, by the way, by then-governor Andrew Cuomo of New York on 1-22, 2019. Then came some major shakings. 

I believe we are in an Exodus 2 moment in America over abortion on a national level. I believe Heaven’s Court will even be tangibly perceived within the US Supreme Court as the Lord makes His own case very plain. The testimony of Heaven will be joined by the testimony of the land. And I even believe the cries, the groanings of those who have suffered, even whose lives were cut short in the womb, will be heard.

However the Court decides, know this. As Daniel 7:22 conveys, Heaven’s Court prevails unto God’s turnaround His way. A freedom movement is accelerating. 

Vision—God Redeems the Bride, and Child of Promise!
A ruthless enemy is seeking to force an abortion of God’s covenant purposes in America. Meanwhile the Lord desires to grant a new birth of freedom for our covenant nation.

God’s passionate intentions on this are pictured in a prophetic experience back in 1996. It remains the most impactful of my life, and defines the overarching mission of Lamplighter Ministries to this day. 

I was praying over Provincetown, the historic Cape Cod harbor where the Pilgrims wrote the Mayflower Compact, when I had the vision. For context, a local pastor had asked me to seek the Lord with him over a recurring dream. He saw himself prophesying “LIVE!” to someone in a large casket. Each time he expected a resurrection. Yet each time, nothing happened.

Immediately when he shared the dream, I somehow saw a vision of what the pastor was dreaming. It was like I was entered into it. Suddenly the hand of the Lord came to the casket and thrust it open. His hand then pulled out what looked to be an Egyptian mummy. Slowly and carefully He began to unwrap the grave clothes, beginning at the top. When the white bands were removed below the eyes, I saw that it was a woman. And as the cloths were removed from around her chest, to my astonishment there was a baby nestled in her bosom. 

I knew immediately the woman represented the bride of Christ in the nation. And not only did the Lord resurrect the bride, but also the child—the covenantal heritage of the Bridegroom and His bride! 

Immediately I heard these words. “Where you have felt like a widow, abandoned by Me and far from My hand of provision, instead I am bringing you into a season of intimacy with Me, and abundance from My hand, and indeed I have saved the best wine for last!”

Beloved, we have not yet gone past the expiration date of this vision. The Lord is still after our children. He is still after the preservation and perpetuation of our covenantal heritage. He is the God of the turnaround. And He will be faithful to bring it His way, for His glory. The best wine is saved for last! 

But to gain this new birth of freedom, all that holds the bride and her child in the casket must be overcome. We must shift from a covenant with death empowering a culture of death to a covenant of life empowering a culture of life. Covenant with death and hell annulled! (Isaiah 28:14-15).

Finally, remember Isaiah 54, God’s promise that defines the turnaround for LIFE. We have entered through this time-gate.  And there is truly no turning back! 

CALL WEDNESDAY! 9PM ET. Conference Call: (425) 436-6287 access code 552-690. Use *6 to mute/unmute. Invite your friends to join us. Pre-broadcast prayer at 8:45pm!

DEAR FRIENDS,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Last year in 2020 we celebrated the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Compact, committing our nation to the Lord Jesus Christ. This year marks the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving! What an incredible time to worship the Lord with our families and friends.

Remember that after 400 years, God moved to bring His people out of subjugation and into freedom. I feel that this 400th anniversary has also captured His attention. This time to deliver our nation from the Pharaoh structures embedded in government and culture to drive us into the very totalitarianism He delivered His people from in Egypt. LET MY PEOPLE GO! 

And it’s extraordinary how this 400th anniversary converges with both Hanukkah and the upcoming Supreme Court hearing regarding abortion. That said… not that you don’t do this anyway… but let me compel you to read this post through to the end! Because the culminating point is the most important. It’s incredible preparation for every moment of your times ahead. 

The Hanukkah Hearing
Note the Dobbs v Jackson hearing on restraining abortion begins at the Supreme Court on December 1. Scholars have called this Mississippi case the strongest challenge to Roe v Wade in decades. I’m calling it “the Hanukkah Hearing” because it’s no coincidence the case will be heard by the highest court in the land OVER THE CELEBRATION OF HANUKKAH.

I promise you that Heaven’s Court is also being convened during this time. The nation is in the balance. Remember that Hanukkah marks a season of visitation. I believe we are going to receive dimensions of His verdict in the days following the hearing. Maybe this is why Lynnie Harlow saw the hand of the Lord sealing four verdicts with a signet ring over each of the four days of Revolution 2021, which is being held the week after the hearing. 

You don’t want to miss it. Promise.

Of course, Jolene and I almost always host Revolution directly over Hanukkah. The Festival of Lights celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over the strongest known army of the time. A group of spiritual revolutionaries broke through the strongest army in the known world in order to take back their desolate heritage. 

Just like the Maccabees, and very much like David just before he was crowned king, we are facing a fierce, defiant and determined army seeking to rob us of our covenantal heritage. This army is first targeting our children, either to take them down down or hold them captive to their hostile intentions. Either we engage as the Lord leads us, or we yield our freedoms to an extent they may never be able to be recovered. The turning point is that serious. If they can do it, we can do it!

And the good news is that a long-prophesied FREEDOM MOVEMENT is now arising by God’s hand. Across the nation parents are awakening to the reality of this decisive hour. You are engaging! The trajectory of our land is already beginning to turn. As we prophesied over Passover 2021—just as with the Exodus miracle, a RESISTANCE REVIVAL is now breaking forth!

When God Holds Court
All of which brings us to the Supreme Court hearing on December 1. The Lord has strongly emphasized to me Exodus 2 as a prototype of what He is about to bring forth on our watch. 

“…The sons of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage ascended to God. So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (Exodus 2:23-24). 

Note that God is not hard of hearing. His ears remain finely tuned to the pleas and cries of His covenant people. So what does it mean when God heard their groaning?

The Hebrew word is Shama. And one of its most important definitions is as a COURTROOM HEARING. The Lord was about to unleash the greatest freedom movement in the history of the world. This freedom movement would bring down both the gods of Egypt and the pharaoh government tied to these principalities. 

So what did He do to prepare? The Lord held court.

And He brought the accumulated groanings of His covenant people over 400 years into His courtroom as evidence demanding the verdict He was about to bring. With great attention, He heard each case. The cries of helpless children targeted for the abortion of their lives through government-mandated infanticide were heard. The mothers whose children were ripped from their arms and thrown into the Nile were heard. The fathers humiliated by the lash of the whip were heard. The economic hardships suffered by God’s covenant people were meticulously reviewed. The centuries of suffering and subjugation under governmental rulership that invoked the occult for empowerment and direction became met with the fierce justice of the Lord. 

Note this. Idolatry is always at the core of subjugation. And Jesus is always on the move to bring His people into freedom. Let My people go! Or in this hour… LET MY CHILDREN GO.

In this Hanukkah Hearing, I believe the Lord Himself is going to hold court. It’s almost like Heaven’s Court will somehow be superimposed on the Supreme Court. The groanings of His people, children especially, will absolutely be heard. Occult roots will be exposed for what they are. And America will be held to account according to the commitment of our founders from the very document that gave birth to our nation, the Declaration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Note that our founders declared that we are created. From their view Life begins at creation, not at birth. Further, they clearly conveyed that the unalienable right to LIFE is conferred at creation!

LIFE Begins at Conception! Messiah Conceived Over Hanukkah
This fact is most clearly demonstrated by God Himself. It’s no coincidence that this hearing on LIFE is being held over Hanukkah. Lets consider the significance this holiday again. According to Messianic Jewish scholars, Jesus wasn’t actually born over date we celebrate as Christmas. Instead, most likely He was born over one of the fall feasts, most likely Yom Kippur or Tabernacles. 

All of which means Jesus, Light of the world, was most likely CONCEIVED OVER HANUKKAH. 

You have to see this to appreciate it. Because for some 2,000 years the body of Christ has been celebrating the birth of Jesus AT HIS CONCEPTION. Just in case you’ve been wondering when God believes the right to life is conferred! 

And now, in today’s convergence with Hanukkah, the 400th anniversary of Thanksgiving, and the Supreme Court hearing on abortion, the Lord is arising to establish justice over the nation. He is about to do something unprecedented among the nations once again. Pharaohs fall. A covenant people arises to LIFE. We pray our government aligns accordingly. But no matter what, this freedom movement conquers. And our nation shifts accordingly. I say, LET THERE BE LIGHT! 

NO KING BUT JESUS…

DEAR FRIENDS,
TURNAROUND TUESDAY LAUNCHED GLOBALLY ON 11-11 at the Global Prophetic Summit, hosted by Mike and Cindy Jacobs. Lou Engle initiated this call in a fiery message in which he prophetically commanded the body of Christ to war for our sons and daughters. He shared the story of our son’s dramatic turnaround after a year of “Turnaround Tuesday” prayer. Cindy Jacobs called Jolene and me up to pray and seal the release. 

And thanks to high level prophets representing 20 nations, as well as a global online audience, Turnaround Tuesday has instantly become a global phenomenon! 

Lamplighter family, we’ve been talking about the potential for this for a while now. Lou Engle called us in mid-June. Out of the middle of nowhere. As we shared in our relaunch posting, Lou and Therese had been praying that morning and received a very similar word to our “Turnaround Tuesday” mandate. When mutual friend Cheryl Amabile heard Lou describe it, she immediately referenced our Turnaround Tuesday prayer projects and the miracle salvation that accompanied it. 

Then last week at the ACPE, our paths crossed in an unmistakeable, sovereign-hand-of-God kind of way. We cut out time early Wednesday morning to connect. Amazingly, just a few hours before, Lou’s wife Therese called to tell him how mutual friends had heard the Lord say to take every Tuesday to pray for their children. Like just the day before!

Can’t make this stuff up. 

Lou was literally scheduled to launch the Global Prophetic Summit. And he completely shifted his message to TURNAROUND TUESDAY. Such a fiery word on the Elijah call to contend for our children and rescue them from the grip of the enemy!

Again. Very simply, you cannot make this stuff up. 

Before I go on, LAMPLIGHTER FAMILY YOU HAVE BEEN THE FORERUNNERS OF THIS MOVEMENT. Not a coincidence it was birthed with Heaven’s grace—and then went global instantly! Our gratitude is immeasurable. And so is your reward from the Throne.

Now, lets do this together!

Here are three major goals to achieve together.
1. LETS CONTEND! This movement is at the core of a holy uprising by parents to rescue their children from the abhorrent dictates thrust upon them in this season. Lets engage together in fasting and prayer each Tuesday for our sons and daughters. Set your course now to engage both immediately and long-term. Pray not only for your children, but for the Turnaround Tuesday movement to flourish and expand.

Note that special “Turnaround Tuesday” calls are in the works. We are projected to begin on Tuesday, November 30, the night before the Supreme Court hearing on the Mississippi abortion case. It’s also the second night of Hanukkah. Mark your calendars now! 

2. START A GROUP! Get with your friends and establish prayer together every Tuesday. Encourage your pastors to start Turnaround Tuesday prayer meetings. 

3. SPREAD THE WORD! Overload the inboxes of leaders and friends with this post and others. Pass it on through social media. Write your own post. Get it out!

4. SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY! Maybe you have a story of God’s dramatic intervention for your son or daughter. Write it up and share it! A new website is going up as soon as we can put it together, and we’d like to showcase many of your stories. 

5. LETS COME TOGETHER IN OUR GIVING! Obviously funding is needed immediately. Infrastructure for the Turnaround Tuesday project, including prayer calls, the new website, videos, graphics, and communications nationally and internationally, must be built with excellence. Please sow to the Spirit and lets together reap the harvest so profoundly close to Jesus’ heart!

I know this is a lot to absorb. So let me close with a final prophetic story.

Last Tuesday, a day before Lou and I talked, the Lord gave me a vision. I was worshiping during the opening of the GPC, eyes closed and hands up in front of me. My eyes opened, only to see a NEWBORN BABY cradled in my hands! The child was dressed in blue and was sleeping soundly. Not knowing what the Lord was saying or even what to do, I raised this baby in my hands and committed him to the Lord. 

Our prophetic roundtable had fervently prayed the day before over the abortion issue. We sought the Lord to annul covenants with death and hell empowering abortion at a root level. I felt the sudden appearance of this baby was Heaven’s confirmation that the shift has been mandated—and backed by God’s own hand—from death to LIFE. Cindy invited me to share the vision with the prophets gathered. 

Lou Engle actually referred to the vision during our meeting. “Jon, maybe the child you saw is actually this turnaround movement!” And all I could say is YES…

“Sing o barren woman, break forth into shouts of joy, for more are the children of the desolate woman than the children of the married wife. Expand the curtains of your tent. Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. You will break forth to the right and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations!” (Isaiah 54).
