Jan 1, 2025

Hello friends, we are so grateful for the opportunity Kingdom News Now has given us to share with you all, let me introduce you to Behind The Chair Ministries with Alena Moore and Carlen Spruell. We are a healing and deliverance ministry that helps people with inner healing and soul wounds. We can be found on Facebook;YouTube and we also have a website Behindthechairministries.com.As we close out 2024, let us reflect on some highlights, we believe will continue intothe upcoming year and what the Lord is saying. What is He speaking to you? He has been speaking to us about “The breath of God” In the Bible, the "breath ofGod" is so much more than just air; it symbolizes His Spirit, the very essenceof life.This beautiful, powerful connection highlights the Holy Spirit's role as botha heavenly power and the source of all life. The Holy Spirit is the 3rdmember of the Trinity. He is God. This means that we have the Holy Spirit living inside us because the breath of God is the Holy Spirit. Let your heart be comforted in the knowledge that the Holy Spirit lives in you, He will always be with you, leading you and guiding you in all truth.The Holy Spirit is often described as the "breath of the Almighty," a powerfulimage that highlights how the Spirit gives and sustains life. In both Hebrewand Greek, the words for "spirit" (Hebrew: ruach; Greek: pneuma) also mean"breath" or "wind."The wind of God is blowing in revival in the heartland of East CentralMissouri. We are so honored and blessed to be used by God to usher in Hispresence and heart for the coming year. May the power of His Spirit comeand move over you to bring you into His divine will and purpose,Leading you to higher heights where you can walk in the power of the Spiritof God and not your flesh and the sinful nature of the flesh. You cannotwalk in the full power of His presence if you are living in the desires of theflesh. The flesh leads you to death and destruction, idolatry and selfworship. You will experience greater strength and refreshing in the comingdays.Many have experienced a great deal of warfare, struggle and heartachebecause of the movement of His Spirit that is beginning to blow forth.Overwhelmed by the darkness and pressed on all sides, the intense strugglehas caused many hearts to become cold and spiritually dead and walkingaimlessly in the valley of decision. Fear has gripped the hearts of many;they have lost the ability to see the way, which has made the future unclear.Your faith and hope have been deferred leaving you feeling forsaken.Unbeknownst to you, you have been contending and wrestling for thetransformation, revolution and reformation that is coming. There is a greatflood of His spirit that will flood the earth bringing healing in His wings.Take heart wounded ones for the enemy has overplayed his hand because inour weakness…His Glory appears! Can you hear the mighty sound of therushing winds of heaven reaching the nations of the earth?It will take our full obedience; Jesus, in all His splendor, is rescuing us andtaking us to higher spiritual heights and greater authority-to rule and reignin 2025.The enemy has tried everything; attack after attack; hindering your abilityto see clearly through the fog and smoke- to distract you causing you to losefocus of the one true king and His ability to bring Heaven to the earth; theenemy tried to shut you down and shut your mouth from decreeing,declaring, and prophesying, because of what’s coming in this coming year.Do not allow the enemy to abort the plans of God in your life and family.The is the year to boldly proclaim we will live and not die spiritually.Your opposition and delay have come to the place where they meet with therushing violent winds of heaven. The place where God’s promises arefulfilled. This violent rushing wind will break the old off your voice andrelease a roar that will be heard throughout the earth.The Kingdom of Heaven is coming to destroy the spirit of death, bothphysically and spiritually, to destroy thestrongholds over minds, and toopen blind eyes. So, they will see what they were unable to see before. AsGod comes to meet with you, make time for Him.

What are you believing Him for? Take some time to reflect on the promises God has told you. Write them out. Look back any words that you have been given and say it is so in the name of Jesus. This will increase your faith, encourage you, and give you hope for the coming year. In faith declare and decree out loud those promises. Don’t be shy about it! Shout to the roof top with all the passion and zeal you have. He is faithful.Declarations and decreesWith the new year fast approaching many believers are believing for 2025 to be a better year, while others are praying for Jesus' return for way of escape. I understand we all have difficulties but the power of our words and actions has the ability to change outcomes. There is so much power in the words we speak. The tongue can bring death or life (Proverbs 18:21). Let's shape 2025 to be a year that we go from barely getting by to excelling on all levels. Here are some decrees for abundant provision, health, favor, spiritual growth, and divine connections Job says in Job 22:18 "Decree a thing and it shall be established." As you read the decrees declare them aloud in confidence that God is hearing you and answering your prayers. I decree and declare that 2025 is going to be my year to thrive. I walk in abundant provision (a mindset of sufficiency and trust that needs to be met), Knowing that God will supply all my needs. I do not lack in my finances have more than enough. Philippians 4:19 My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Deuteronomy 28:18 The Lord will open his storehouse where he keeps his rich blessings. I decree and declare that I walk in divine health body, soul, and spirit in 2025 giving God the glory for my life for the exchange that took place on the cross. "Heal me, O Lord and I shall be healed, save me, that I may proclaim your Praise. Jeremiah 17:14.Psalm 30:2 "Lord my God, I called to You for help, and You healed me".I decree and declare that in 2025 I will walk in divine favor. I will have favor with God and man. God's favor surrounds me as a shield, and the first thing man encounters is my shield of favor. People go out of their way to bless and help me. As the righteousness of God, I declare that I am highly favored in God's sight (Job 33:26, Psalm 5:12, Proverbs 14:9) I have supernatural turnarounds, breakthroughs amid impossibilities, doors of opportunity are opening for me. I am blessed and highly favored (Luke 1:28).I decree and declare that 2025 is my year to grow spiritually. I purpose in my heart to go after God with deeper intentions to hear and know his hear that I am rooted and grounded in Him I choose to live a life of love, compassion and forgiveness. I declare that wherever I go people will see the Lord in me and not me. I represent Him. Whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord, Jesus (Colossians 3:17), James 4:8 "Come near to God and he will come near to you."I decree and declare that 2025 is my year for divine connections. Connections that will catapult me to my destiny and connections where I will be assisting others in theirs.(Divine connections are deeper than surface relationships.) I will share the gospel in knowing that every time I speak of God, I am bringing glory to His name.Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.I decree and declare these declarations over my life in Jesus' name I pray Amen.TENT REVIVALS ARE BREAKING OUTThe Lord has shifted church as usual, interrupting the way we do things, so His unusual ways can be known and brought forth. He is calling the uncommonpeople to the forefront. The ones whose oil has come with a high cost. The forgotten ones, the lowly things, the despised things. It doesn’t really matter if the world has disqualified you or maybe you have possibly disqualified yourself in one way or another.God has unusual qualifications for people who He uses in ministry. What may be the specifications that the world requires, oftentimes means very little to God. God is in the business of using those people who are unlikely candidates. I am so happy about this because that means God can use me and God can use you. I prophecy God is ready to use you! 1st Corinthians 1:27 says that God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise1st Corinthians 1:27 and 28 says God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that do not nullify the things that are. Get excited my friends, God uses everything we go through in life for His glory. He is searching far and wide for willing hearts to do His will.In the summer of 2020, Carlen had a vision of a tent in her backyard. As strange as that may seem, she knew she had seen the assignment Jesus was giving her. She shared the vision with me (Alena) We had no idea how this would ever come to pass. We will share the condensed version for lack of space.We prayed, fasted and sowed seeds to Isreal for the tent revival vision. It took 4 years to come to pass. It was in the 4th year that Carlen was given that same vision again. She told the Lord; she was willing to do it but just didn’t know what to do. She then saw a white tent on a hill in front of her. Then the Lord spoke and said a ( sorta) family member had the tent. She called him and he said yes you guys can use it anytime. She reached out to some friends who had connections,but no one got back to her. I was praying and I felt like the Lord said He wanted us to do it ourselves led by the Holy Spirit. He spoke early on and said 3 days. We were obedient to that, and everything started to fall into place. God provided everything-down to the penny for the revival: Speakers, worship, chairs, lights, porta potty’s, baptismal, water etc. Itwas truly breathtaking how it unfolded; nothing we could do ourselves. We felt like God wanted to use uncommon speakers who had powerful testimonies of overcoming all odds. We knew a few who were really anointed to share. They shared it all: addiction, physical and sexual abuse, you know the deeply hidden things of the heart; The things nobody wants to talk about in church but are truly plaguing mankind today. This is where healing begins.The revival testimoniesDiane Campfield; Life Changing! Every testimony had at least 1thing that God has healed me from. The atmosphere was on fire, youcould feel Gods presence the whole time. It was amazing!Ryan Krasik; I was a bit skeptical at first not to mention nervous. I did not know what to expect. As I let go of myself and allowed the Holy Spirit to minister to me I received a peace that came over me and reached deep into my soul. With each testimony I felt the love of God touching me to my core. All praise to God who continues to do miraculous things, above and beyond anything we could comprehend or do. The revival was amazing and it truly revived my spirit! Praise be to the Lord to whom our praise is due now and forever AmenPamela Shell; This was my first experience with being part of a tent revivalmeeting. Three things about this special meeting will forever remain in my heart:1. The Holy Spirit’s peaceful, sweet presence was evident to everyone.2. People were stopping to see what was happening, followed by parking,attending, and staying during the entire meeting.3. Everyone attending were profoundly touched by the testimonies that werepresented, as evidenced by, salvations, re-deductions, and water baptism.Ronda Ross; I was so excited when Carlene told me she was going to have a tent revival in her yard in De Soto, Missouri. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a tent revival. I went each and every night for three days to Carlene and Alena‘s tent revival. I was so excited. I listen to testimony after testimony after testimony, and I was so excited about what God was doing in peoples lives little did I know what he was about to do in mine. On the last night of the revival when Bishop Webb came, I was so excited and he taught me a lot that night, but I came expecting something. I wasn’t sure what, so when Bishop Webb said to come up for prayer and everybody did he touched my head and he said a prayer and I stumbled a little bit and I didn’t know what to think my head got dizzy and then I see Bishop Webb coming back and he put his hand on my head and he prayed and I went down I just remember being on the ground and crying when Carlene helped me up, I was like wow I don’t know what that was but my life will forever be changed. She said you’ve been slain in the spirit the whole next day all I could do was cry and they were not tears of sadness they were tears of joy, and I didn’t even know why I was crying. I was just so full of God‘s loving grace, and now when I go to church on Sundays and I pass by Carlen’s house, I always see the yard that God touched my heart, and I know that he is forever with me. That is my testimony. I never believed in being slain in the spirit when I saw people falling, but I am a true believer in it now and I hope Carlen and Alena have a revival every year. Just writing this testimony, it brings tears to my eyes because of the love and the grace that God has for me thank you.Another tent revivalTestimony: Faye Lawson,I had been seeking the lord for a healing and praying endlessly for a churchservice I could attend.In October, The Grassroots tent Revival was coming to Leadington Mo.I vowed to make that service no matter how sick I was!!I had called my adult grandchildren, my daughters, Neice and nephew severalpeople grandchildren. Telling them all I was going if I had to crawl.My Grandson Austin committed to going with me then they all just fell in line.Days had gone by and I was sicker by the day but my grandson said he wouldcome to get me on the day of. The night before Jesus came to me in my sleep,waking me and telling me to write exactly what I wanted on paper then leave it atthe altar. I know when I get a message from Jesus to get up, so I did.I wrote that letter and was very specific, I asked for healing in my family,forgiveness, unity, for God to restore the split and bring us back together. Forsalvation of lost ones. To rescue them from the wrong path and put them on thenarrow path with you Lord. And so many other things but I knew I was going tobe Blessed. We all went the next night and sat at the back of the tent,I told everyone come expecting, Jesus was going to be moving, and it was therefor the asking! Glory, Glory, Glory .They was selling t-shirts so we all went to lookat them and when we got up there, I told the ladies working if they wanted to beBlessed to press up against me because I come expecting.One of the ladies said good, they were on fire last night.I said I am serious and I told her Jesus had spoken to me the night before andtold me what to do then I showed her my hand written letter in my hand.She looked at me with so much excitement and said Well Glory that is what thePastor spoke about last night in his sermon about King Hezekiah placed the letterin the presence of the LordThere was no line of order it was purely the movement of God!It was so windy and when I went to the altar the first time, I did not leave it butI was not leaving that tent without it there.More Praise and worship, Spirit moving, 9 different churches there in one accord.Then another Altar call this time leading to my Grandson being Baptized in agood ole fashion tent Revival many more to follow several saved and servicecoming to an endI let fear slip in for a second that the wind would take my letter away but then Isaw the offering box by the Altar, yes folks Jesus found my letter in that oldwooden box.My prayers have been being fulfilled every day since I left there.A few days later, I had heart surgery. I went in with blockage in three differentplaces but when the doc came out, he was laughing and smiling so I ask himwhat he was so happy about/He said he didn’t have to do a thing everything was clear, no blockage no scarseverything was clear!Yes, I’m rejoicing He is still on the Throne, He is still answering Prayer.He is The Great I AMAt the later part of 2024, we received a call from a lady named Tammy,originally from here, she is a missionary from Kenya. She was looking for healing and deliverance while home on leave. Our team got together and prayed for her. It was a special time in the Lord. I recently received an email from her.I wanted to show you guys that I carried over the prayer materials that you gave me. Here is Pastor Melchzedeck with some of it. I'm going to share it with our staff here as well.On Sunday we used the prayers to do deliverance with a former street boy namedPeter who's been struggling with tormenting thoughts for a while. And whenPastor Melckzedeck was praying a Father's blessing over him in Swahili, I feltsomething break over me. : ) Honestly I've felt like I've been under some prettyheavy witchcraft since I entered the country. It's been kind of rough. I believethat God is up to something. Thank you!We also have some warfare prayers we could include(?)
