Sid: My guest Peter Whitehouse has written a brand new book called “Returning to Normal.” Unfortunately most Christians don’t even have an image of what normal is. But I’ll tell you as you listen to him as you read his book a little bit every day, you’ll want to read and reread because your heart will then become convicted and you’ll repent and they’ll be less of you and more of the Lord and you will be used in the greatest revival in history. Peter Whitehouse you talk about Kingdom Authority explain what you mean by that.
Peter: I believe that God is desiring to teach us this truth and I think that we’ve heard of it and we learned that maybe 10 or 20 years ago but I don’t think that we were ready to walk in it. I mean that God desires that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done and we’ve prayed that so many times in the Lord’s prayer; I think with very little meaning or very little understanding. But in this hour God is raising up His sons and daughters to come forth and do exploits. There is a creative word and I know that the variety of understandings and this whole teaching was high jacked some years ago and people were trying to name and claim material things and the whole teaching went down the tubes, but there is truth in speaking forth words of faith. There are creative words and the Word of God says speaking forth things that are not as though they were. And the Lord is now bringing forth His word to accomplish his purposes. I can give you a few examples Sid we have…our ministry is in the middle of a very depressed area a lot of crime. One of the corners known for drugs, prostitution, violence, even murder. And it just seemed to go on and on and on but one day lead by the Holy Spirit we went there. We sprinkled oil on the ground praying, worshiping the Lord, consecrating the ground as unto the Lord. Then declaring peace and proclaiming that God’s Kingdom be established here and this went on oh maybe for about 5 or 10 minutes. A powerful presence of God came and just to make a long story short that corner is changed the kids are playing on the street and they are not afraid anymore. We went to a local high school that had been plagues by problems repeatedly after school violence. On assignment from the Lord, I’m not saying that we just looked in the newspaper and looked for someplace where we could demonstrate authority but on assignment from God we went there and did the same thing on a Saturday when the school was closed. But we consecrated the place as unto the Lord. Went into the courtyard where the violence took place and worshiped the Lord and declared God’s Kingdom come and broke the strongholds of the enemy and commanded the spirit of violence to get out. That week the school board after months of vacillation and for who knows what and permitted all this to continue they came up with a brilliant plan. There is peace in that school now, we had the opportunity the opened a new family court building, we had the opportunity to go there the night before they opened the building and consecrate it blow the shofar and claim this as an instrument, a tool of the Lord this building would be used. Righteous decisions would come forth here and peace would be restored to families. And we had an appointment to meet with a family court judge who humbly submitted to being consecrated with oil and dedicated unto the Lord. We’re hearing very good things going on in that place. We also had the opportunity to go into the New York State Capitol and to anoint all of the assembly seats with oil and to stand at the podium a New York State Assemblyman banged the gavel and opened the session. And one of our group members proclaimed the Kingdom of God, right in the assembly. We partook of Holy Communion right within the executive area of the Capitol and God unleashed His secret weapon. There is and always has been authority delegated to us but we haven’t used it. In this hour God is raising up a church who would go forth to demolish the strongholds of the enemy and to bring forth God’s Kingdom. The battle must be won in the heavenlies before there can be changes in the earth.
Sid: How important is…you talked about communion, how important is communion even today more than ever before in history?
Peter: Oh, I love Holy Communion, and this has come by revelation. I believe that communion is far more than a ceremony, it is a time of intimacy with God. It is a time for healing, for strength, for encouragement and our course for communing one with another. But even to partake of communion yourself with the contemplative repentance is a wonderful cleansing, healing, strengthening.
Sid: I hear many people are taking communion daily.
Peter: Yes, I am doing that and may are. You know what Sid I have…I didn’t realize this when the Lord spoke this to me two or three years ago and I’ve been doing this ever since. In reading some of the journals of the revivalists prior to revival there was a fresh wave of communion, and communion services. So I think we’re right in sync with what God is doing.
Sid: You know what I believe there is not enough anointed teaching on the power of the blood. The blood of the lamb, what is God showing you about the blood?
Peter: They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives even unto the death. The blood of the lamb, the blood of Jesus Christ a powerful weapon. And I exhort you and encourage you to apply the blood, to declare the blood, to proclaim the blood; to teach the blood. This is the very foundation of our faith and we must not minimize it. There have been some teachings that have almost irradiated it because it isn’t politically correct. The blood of Jesus Christ is a powerful tool. I saw a vision and I saw myself in the ground as it were at the very base of a tree and I was amongst the roots. I was able to stand in there it was somewhat cavernous and I could see all of the roots and they looked decrepit and they were rotting away and then out of my mouth came this flood of blood. I felt the Lord saying to declare, to apply the blood of Jesus Christ to the very roots of the church for the restoration of the church. And we have been doing this in our prayers and in our times of declarations and proclamations and even when we go to the streets to do warfare and prayer throughout our neighborhood we declare the blood of Jesus Christ and cover over every sin, over every imperfection with the blood of the Lamb. It’s a powerful weapon.
Sid: The last thought. When you’ve seen an intensity over the last 9 months of fervency of prayer you’ve had the assurance it’s here. The revival is here, what is your last thought for our listeners?
Peter: Brothers and sisters God is about to do something wonderful. If you need to get your heart right with God now is the time, and if you’re weary do not turn back, don’t quit press in. Revival is right at the door. If you heard this before and you say “Well, I’ve heard all of this I tell you we are closer now than ever before.” Seeing beyond the revival, prepare for evangelism, prepare for discipleship, prepare for sending out those who have been brought in. God is about to do something wonderful.
Sid: Peter why did you write your new book “Returning to Normal?”
Peter: I believe because I couldn’t contain it, the Lord has placed this within my heart and it had to spill out into print. And my desire and I believe the Lord’s desire is for others to catch a passion for revival. And those that have grown weary that their fire might be rekindled. And for those that have not yet learned what revival is that they might learn a little bit about it and willingly enter in with all their heart, with all their life. Right now praying for revival should be one of your very highest priorities. And I believe that this book can help that fire burn within you.
Sid: I agree the passion that pours out of this book it’s highly contagious and it’ll reveal your heart. Remember the heart is the most deceitful of all things according to the word of God.
